I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 79, Alien Beast

'I go!It's just a few words about the spiritual master, but it's really just a few words, without any exaggeration. '

Fang Rui read through the entire "Chang Sanliu's Travel Notes" and narrowed his eyes: "The ancestor of the Chang family, Chang Sanliu, just happened to meet a spiritual master, chatted with him for a while, and learned some information. Most of the great medicines and elixir seem to be related to spiritual masters. '

'In addition, there seems to be some taboos for spiritual masters, but the spiritual master didn't mention it, and Chang Sanliu didn't know about it either. '

Originally, he thought that there would be some clues to the inheritance of spiritual masters, such as ruins, secret places, caves, etc., which could be used for treasure hunting and start a thrilling journey.

'Unexpectedly, after all, I was thinking too much!That's right, if there are any relics, inheritances, etc., the Chang family will search for them by themselves, so how can it be my turn? '

That's all.

What Fang Rui paid more attention to was another point: In the 28th year of Emperor Gaozong's reign, a great flood occurred in the four states in the eastern region. Traveling and discovering that it is already thriving...

'According to the time, it was about 50 years ago, but this is wrong!Didn't Dayu start to crumble in the past two years, and the building is about to collapse?Why did it look like it was going to die 50 years ago? '

Fang Rui had great doubts in his heart: "How did this Dayu stay alive and return to the light?"Could it be that there is also a character like Zhang Juzheng who has lasted for 50 years, but how could there be such a coincidence? '

Moreover, the four states in the east at that time were so similar to the three states in the south today!
'Unfortunately, there are no more detailed records in this travel note. '

Fang Rui shook his head, and suddenly thought of another thing: "When I was in Changshan City, I also visited bookstores, but there were no books related to history. I thought it was because Changshan City was too small. , Zhoucheng, the situation will change. '

'Thinking about it now, I'm afraid it's not that simple! '

He thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked in the carriage: "Mother, third sister, do you know what dynasty was before the Yu Dynasty?"

Fang Rui thought about it carefully, and found that he didn't have any information about the previous dynasty in his memory.

——This kind of thing is like an inconspicuous gadget in the corner of the house. If you don't think of it on purpose, you can't remember to ask at all.

"Brother Rui, what nonsense are you talking about? It has always been the Yu Dynasty, how can there be any other dynasty?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of it!"

Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi both took it for granted.

Hearing this answer, Fang Rui felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his complexion changed, he got up immediately, and went to ask some people in the caravan.

The answer is also the same: there is no previous dynasty, it has always been just Dayu!
When these people talked about it, it was as if they were talking about common sense, which was very normal, like 'water flows downhill', but to Fang Rui who had traveled through time, it sounded like a ridiculous joke.

Under the bright sun, Fang Rui felt chills all over his body, as if he heard a ghost story version of "Peach Blossom Spring".

"Mother, third sister is fine, it can be said that the information is not well-informed, but people like the caravan are the most well-informed. If there is a previous dynasty, even if they don't know the details, they should know the name of a dynasty, right? '

No way, besides the Yu Dynasty, there really are no other dynasties?
'No, maybe too much time has passed, and the previous dynasty has been submerged in history.But to forget a dynasty, it will take at least a thousand years, or even longer...'

But is there an immortal dynasty in the world for a thousand years? !

Let me just talk about the most direct problem, the cycle rate of the dynasty, the contradiction between population and land, countless amazing talents in the previous life can't solve it, how did Dayu do it?
'This world is not a normal world, but an extraordinary world. It can solve the cycle rate of the dynasty, and it makes sense... What a ghost? ! '

At least, from what Fang Rui saw, the extraordinary power in this world does not have the possibility of killing an army by one person.

In his inference, even if it is the first rank, or even above the first rank, it is unlikely.

In other words, Dayu may still be overthrown!

From this point of view, Fang Rui discovered more problems.

'Since the Great Yu has been going on for a long time, it is unlikely that any aristocratic family would dare to invest at this time when Li Xuantong rebelled. Then, where did that ruthless man in the rebel army come from? '

'The ruthless man in the rebel army is a smart man. He knew that he couldn't do it, so what did he want to do? '

All kinds of questions scrambled into a mess in my mind.

Fang Rui obviously felt that the answer was ready to come out, but it was because some key elements were missing, and he couldn't connect the existing information together to get the truth.

'However, what is certain is that the water in Dayu is very deep!Very deep! '

Fang Rui's fear was even worse.

'Not urgent!calm!I have plenty of time, and one day all the secrets of this world will be revealed to me. ' His eyes were deep, and he thought to himself.

……

In the next few days, when Steward Chen came over, Fang Rui often inquired about history, geography, and interesting stories.

Chen Guanshi was also willing to deepen his friendship with Fang Rui, the two had a heated fight, and sometimes they would stay for lunch and tell some long anecdotes.

Not to mention, he is worthy of being a businessman, and his knowledge is rich.

Even Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan listened with gusto. This is another novel experience different from listening to stories.

Fang Rui deliberately dug deep, and within a few days, he took out the contents of Chen Guanshi's belly.

……

this day.

The sun was shining brightly, goshawks were circling, and the caravan came to a canyon.

Looking down from a high altitude, the entire canyon is in the shape of an eagle's mouth, the narrowest part of which is only one or two feet, and the terrain on both sides is extremely steep.

"This place is quite suitable for ambushes. Of course, if there is an army passing by here, they will definitely pay attention to it and be extra careful." Fang Rui looked into the distance and murmured.

At this time, Chen Guanshi came over: "Master Fang, is this canyon called Yingzui Gorge?"

"Speaking of which, there is still a strange beast living in Yingzui Gorge."

He knew what Fang Rui was interested in, so he specifically mentioned this: "This kind of strange beast is called a pangolin. It has the characteristics of a pangolin, and it looks like a centipede. It is about ten or two feet long, and its whole body is as hard as iron armor. Middle-rank warriors are extremely fierce."

"Also, this kind of strange beast is extremely vengeful. If you kill one, the other party will chase a group of them. If Master Fang encounters it, don't kill it, just drive it away!"

'Indigenous extraordinary life in this world? ! '

A look of interest appeared on Fang Rui's face: "Chen Guanshi, since this Yingzui Gorge is so dangerous, and there are dangerous beasts like the beetle lurking, why do we have to go here instead of taking a detour?"

"detour?"

Chen Guanshi smiled wryly and said: "If you want to make a detour, you will have to make a long detour. Moreover, you will not encounter a beetle every time you pass through Yingzui Gorge, maybe once or twice out of ten times. Some fresh meat can basically be passed away."

"However, the appearance of this armored centipede is a bit special. It is a sudden and direct attack, so whenever you encounter an armored centipede, basically one or two people will be killed or injured every time."

What he didn't say was that people who followed the caravan in the past would be 'invited' to the front when they arrived here as a wayfinding.

——That is to say, Fang Rui's strength is not bad, coupled with the arrogance that the daughter lost in the past two days, he harvested a wave of people's hearts and made the caravan not act according to the 'conventional'.

"Does this beetle only eat meat?" Fang Rui asked suspiciously.

In Yingzui Gorge, there are obviously very few prey. Since the opponent is comparable to a middle-grade warrior, such a powerful life form obviously cannot rely on hunting to supply body energy, right?

"of course not!"

Chen Guanshi shook his head: "I heard that although the ground beetle eats fresh meat, its staple food is a kind of 'mountain spirit milk'. That thing is extremely precious. Some people in Fucheng and Zhoucheng openly buy it, and the price is comparable to gold. "

"However, mountain stone spirit milk is very rare, and it needs to go deep into the mountain. It is difficult to get it without the ability of the earth beetle."

'Mountain stone spirit milk?I have never heard of it, and it is a local product of this world! '

Fang Rui was amazed: "It's really unscientific for such a powerful life form to be powered by minerals like a beast comparable to a middle-grade warrior." '

'Oh, in such an extraordinary world, what kind of science are you talking about? People have mountain stone spirit milk, and there is a word 'spirit' in their name! '

He thought for a while, and asked again: "Chen Guanshi, have you ever heard of monsters? They are monsters that turn into spirits, are as smart as humans, and can even take shape?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Ling and Nannan's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Guanshi Chen.

They had all heard Fang Rui's story about the White Lady, so they were naturally very interested in this question.

"This... Master Fang, forgive me for my shallow knowledge, I have never heard of it." Chen Guanshi shook his head in embarrassment.

Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi laughed at the side.

"Brother Rui, don't you read too many story books?"

"That's right, Brother Rui, how could a strange beast be as intelligent as a human, and even...transfigured? I've never heard of it!" The third lady thought of Fang Rui's "Legend of the White Snake", and she didn't know what she thought of. , Two faint blushes appeared on his face.

A group of people chatted and followed the caravan, and slowly entered Yingzui Gorge. It seemed that Guanshi Chen didn't go back to the front of the caravan because he was fine, and chatted with Fang Rui from the back.

Of course, it could also be because staying at the back, near an expert like Fang Rui, is relatively safe?Who knows where?There is no need to study it carefully.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, this is true.

Yingzui Gorge doesn't seem to be long, but when we walked, we found that there was still a distance. The caravan walked for half an hour, but couldn't get out.

But it was coming soon, the exit of the distant canyon was already in sight, and by this time, most people in the caravan relaxed their minds a little.

But at this moment——

Ahead, there was a sudden scream, accompanied by chaos.

"No, it's a ground beetle!"

"Everyone spread out!"

"Where is the prepared fresh meat? Throw it over!"

……

Fang Rui kept his mind distracted all the time. At this moment, he got off the carriage and looked forward.

Next to him, Guanshi Chen was riding upside down on the donkey's back. He turned his head to look, his face changed, "Master Fang, it's indeed Dijia..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

But what he saw: Fang Rui suddenly tiptoed his toes, and his whole body floated up like a feather, taking Guanshi Chen away from the donkey's back and pulling him aside.

And almost at the moment after Chen Guanshi was taken away——

puff!

Amid a sound like tearing silk, flesh and blood splashed down from the air like raindrops. The donkey was split in two, and it couldn't die anymore. The intestines and blood gushed out, staining the ground into a pool of blood.

"Herod!"

The nanny pulling the carriage was frightened and let out a cry, raising its hoofs high, but after Fang Rui slapped an acupuncture point with his palm, he instantly calmed down.

"Ah!" There was an exclamation in the car.

"Mother, third sister, you guys take good care of the two little girls, don't come down."

Fang Rui gave a warning and looked back.

I see:

It was a strange beast with a shuttle-shaped head, and it did have some signs of a pangolin, but the two rows of legs on the left and right were as thick and dense as human wrists, and they looked like centipedes.

However, it is much bigger than a centipede, and even more than the one or two feet Chen Guanshi said before, it is more than three feet in size!

Chen Guanshi, who was still in shock, saw it and was extremely shocked. He opened his mouth and stuffed a toad in: "There is also one, two ground beetles?! And, why is this one so big?!"

"Fizz!"

The ground beetle neighed sharply, perhaps because it was aroused by the blood, or maybe it was too much fun to kill a donkey, so it swooped over.

It is obviously not small in size, but it is extremely flexible, and its speed is extremely fast.

and.

On the way of rushing, the closed scales on the ground beetle unfolded like a folding fan, forming two iron fans composed of layers of blades, shining with a faint cold light.

'What a peculiar physical structure!No wonder, the donkey was dismembered in an instant. '

Fang Rui's eyes flashed, his figure floated forward, and with a single tap of the unsheathed long knife, the whole ground beetle was lifted up and frozen in mid-air, and then he kicked it out.

boom!
The ground beetle flew heavily and hit the cliff wall. The iron fan-like scales rubbed against the cliff wall, making a series of teeth-stinging sounds, leaving a deep mark.

'Indeed, the strength of this ground beetle is comparable to that of a middle-rank warrior, and this ground beetle is not ordinary. I am afraid that ordinary fifth-rank warriors will find it difficult. '

'However, it's not that I can't kill it, it's just that killing it doesn't do any good, and I will be hated and entangled by a group of elusive beasts that are comparable to mid-level warriors. '

Fang Rui himself is not afraid, but the caravan is not, let alone Fang Xue and others.

At this time, Chen Guanshi came back to his senses, seeing Fang Rui hitting the beetle flying, he was afraid that he would be impulsive, and hastily reminded: "Master Fang, be merciful, this beetle really can't be killed!"

"Know!"

Fang Rui agreed, facing the ground beetle that was charging again, he threw it away again.

Subsequently.

This ground beetle pounced on it again and again, and was knocked into the air time and time again, especially in the last few times, Fang Rui threw it next to the still warm donkey every time, tempting it with a blood meal.

After seven or eight times, this one probably also realized that there was nothing to do with this human being, hissed and screamed at Fang Rui to demonstrate, lowered his head and began to enjoy the blood meal, and would never come again.

soon.

People came in front of the caravan, bringing more blood food such as hares and roe deer, and threw them over.

While the two ground beetles were enjoying the food, the caravan left quickly.

After leaving Yingzui Gorge, Chen Guanshi still had lingering fear on his face: "Thank you, Master Fang, for saving your life. Otherwise, I might have to confess my old bone here this time...but it's unlucky to say it, I heard After the beetle becomes an adult, it only grows an inch every year, and judging by the size of that beetle, it may have lived for 200 years."

"200 years?!"

Fang Rui felt interesting in his heart: "Such a local supernatural creature can live for so long, grow so big, and even feed on suspected spiritual things, but it doesn't seem to have much wisdom?" '

You know: this is an extraordinary world, and there is no iron rule that people are not allowed to become elite after the founding of the country. From this perspective, this matter is even more interesting.

Fang Rui is a time traveler, his thinking is not restricted, he is unconstrained, he is skeptical of all abnormalities, and dares to think critically about everything.

But the more this is the case, the more he is able to discover: Behind everything that seems normal in this world, there are deep mysteries!
……

that day.

Perhaps it was the fight between Fang Rui and the ground beetle that made the caravan's assessment of Fang Rui's strength once again higher. Even Steward Chen's superior, the owner of the caravan—Jiang Yan, Mr. Jiang, came to visit in person.

This person was not a woman disguised as a man, and Fang Rui hadn't met Peach Blossom, just a few normal polite words to get acquainted, leave an impression, and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Manager Chen wanted to compensate the donkey. After a push, Fang Rui only accepted half of the money on the grounds that 'even without him, the donkey would probably be attacked', but this also made Manager Chen grateful .

……

Time passed in a hurry, and another three to five days passed, and Yunshan City was already in sight.
