Chapter 810: Integrate into it
"come out!"
A stern voice shouted,
"We have discovered you, don't blame us for being rude if you don't come out!"
Yun Youzi sighed softly and whispered to Li Yang and Zhang Hui:
"It seems like we can't hide it. Let's go out."
Li Yang nodded:
"There is no other way, then go out and check the situation."
The three slowly stood up from the bushes, raising their hands as a sign of harmlessness.
"this..."
The leading general exclaimed,
"What kind of outfit is this?"
He carefully looked at the strange costumes of the three people and frowned:
"Where are you from? Why are you dressed so strangely?"
Li Yang was about to explain, but Yun Youzi said first:
"Reporting to General, we are wandering Taoist priests from afar."
"This outfit is unique to our sect and cannot be seen anywhere else. I hope you will forgive me, General."
The general looked at the three of them suspiciously:
"Wandering Taoist priest? How come I have never seen such a strange Taoist priest dressed up before?"
Zhang Hui quickly answered:
"Well...the general doesn't know something!"
"We come from a very far away place and are indeed a little different from the Central Plains."
"Our trip is to visit famous mountains and rivers and spread our teachings."
The general pondered for a moment, seeming to consider whether to believe their words.
At this moment, a younger officer beside him whispered something into his ear.
The general's expression suddenly became serious:
"You say he is a wandering Taoist priest, but do you have any proof?"
Zhang Hui's heart tightened and he secretly thought something was wrong.
They have neither documents nor tokens at the moment, how can they prove their identity?
While he was racking his brains to think of countermeasures, Yun Youzi next to him said calmly:
"If the general doesn't believe it, you might as well let us show you something."
As he spoke, he nodded slightly towards Li Yang.
Smiling slightly, making seals with his hands, and mumbling something.
Suddenly, golden light surged around him, and a golden flame surged out of his body, swirling and dancing in the air.
When the soldiers saw this, they all screamed and retreated. Even the general showed a shocked expression:
"This...what kind of dharma is this?"
Yunyouzi said calmly:
"This is the magical power of our sect. Ordinary people can't see it casually."
Li Yang on the side also called out some plants intentionally.
In a mysterious way, he pretended to use some mysterious method of controlling trees.
Seeing this, most of the suspicion on the general's face immediately disappeared.
He clasped his fists, the expression on his face became much more respectful, and said:
"It turns out that the master is in front of you, and it's us who are presumptuous."
"I wonder what the three experts have planned for this trip?"
Yun Youzi put away his magical powers and smiled:
"I am new to your land and I am not familiar with the local customs and customs."
"I wonder if the general can give us some advice?"
After hearing this, the general immediately said enthusiastically:
"If the three masters don't mind you, why don't you follow me back to the city?"
"It's just a good time to rest in the city for a few days, so that we can fulfill our duties as landlords."
Li Yang and Zhang Hui looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
This is a rare opportunity to understand the situation of this era and solve their current dilemma.
Yunyouzi happily agreed:
"In that case, thank you General."
The general immediately ordered his men to prepare three horses and invited the three of them to go to the city together.
Along the way, Li Yang secretly observed the surrounding scene.
Although it is generally consistent with the history described by Yun Youzi, there are still some differences in details.
This made him even more convinced that they had indeed arrived at the Bactrian Dynasty several hundred years ago.
After entering the city, the general arranged the three of them in a quiet courtyard.
He told the three of them that this place was specially used to receive distinguished guests, so that they could stay at ease and ask if they needed anything.
After the general left, Li Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Finally settled down for the time being."
Zhang Hui also breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes, thanks to Senior Yun Youzi's clever response."
Yun Youzi waved his hand:
"It's just a little sophistry, but what should we do next?"
Li Yang thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe... we should first understand the specific conditions of this era."
"For example, which emperor is in power now, what are the policies of the court, what is the custom of the people, etc."
Zhang Hui nodded in agreement:
"Indeed... only by fully understanding this era can we better integrate into it and avoid exposing our flaws."
"Then we can better find a way out of here."
Yunyouzi added:
"Indeed... Although I don't know the specific principle, since we can come here, there must be a way to go back."
Li Yang thought thoughtfully: "I was wondering, could it be because of the crack in space?"
"Maybe we can start from this aspect."
While the three were discussing, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Please come in."
Yunyouzi said.
The door opened and a young maid came in. She bowed respectfully and said:
"Three Immortals, Your Majesty asked me to ask you if there is anything you need?"
Yun Youzi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I wonder what I call this girl?"
The maid replied:
"The little girl's name is Qiu Ju."
Yunyouzi nodded:
"Miss Qiu Ju, we are new here and not very familiar with this place."
"Can you please introduce this place to us?"
Qiu Ju's eyes lit up:
"This little girl knows something... We are in Qiongzhou, Daxia Kingdom. Although it is not the capital, it is still a prosperous place."
When Li Yang heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt and asked:
"I wonder which emperor is reigning now?"
Qiu Ju glanced at Li Yang in surprise, but still answered respectfully:
"Hui Xianchang, now we are the master of Zhongxing in Daxia, Emperor Mingde is on the throne."
Li Yang and Zhang Hui were both stunned when they heard this name.
Although they knew something about the history of the Daxia Dynasty, they were not very familiar with the specific emperor's reign...
Seeing this, Yun Youzi quickly smoothed things over and said:
"I see. I wonder if the country and the people will be safe under the rule of Emperor Mingde?"
Qiu Ju showed a proud look on her face:
"That's natural! Our Emperor Mingde is wise and powerful, diligent in government and loves the people."
"Since he ascended the throne, the officials of the imperial court have governed the Qingming Dynasty and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"Even the ethnic minorities in the border areas have surrendered to the imperial court. It can be said that the age is prosperous and peaceful!"
"Especially the golden crow, the divine bird sought by Emperor Mingde, is even more powerful..."
Li Yang and Zhang Hui both nodded secretly after hearing this.
It seems that this era was indeed the heyday of the Daxia Dynasty.
The fact that the Golden Crow is the sacred bird that protects the country is quite right.
Yunyouzi asked some more questions about the local customs and customs, and Qiu Ju answered them all.
After she left, the three began to discuss again.
"Looks like we're lucky..."
Li Yang said,
"It coincides with the peak of Great Xia, when hundreds of flowers are blooming, so no one should be interested in us."
Zhang Hui is a little worried:
"But we still know too little about this era...If we accidentally say something wrong, it can easily arouse suspicion."
Yunyouzi comforted:
"That way, there's no need to worry too much."
"We can explain some of our ignorance as outsiders..."
"Besides, we are Taoist priests, so it is normal for us not to know much about worldly things."
