Chapter six hundred and sixty fourth exotic voice
"It's a pity that the divine power... is a little weak."
Lu Liangsheng looked at the outline of the huge building in the distance, a little shocked. He could see from here, and he could see how big it would be standing in front of him. The warm wind stroking his hair and robe. No matter what, go and see first, know where this place is and which country's territory.
Retracting his thoughts, he snapped his fingers at the four scholars who were still watching the scenery along the river.
"Go and go and take a look."
"Oh, national teacher, wait."
The four people who washed their faces by the river, tidied up their clothes and appearances, hurriedly followed them, and looked at the obviously artificial road, and the four scholars had a little worried.
"National Master, we can't speak. If they also want to inquire about identity, wouldn't they throw us all into prison?"
On the side, Wang Feng, led by four people, pushed his elbow and spoke, "With the national teacher here, how could he be imprisoned? Besides, how could we, a scholar in the Great Sui Dynasty, be here to fall into ruin? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to Your Majesty who is far away in the Great Sui Dynasty?"
Lu Liangsheng ignored them and pushed away the branches hanging from the roadside. There was a gentle slope of yellow sand in front of him. There were shepherds waving their whips, wrapped in their hoods and drove away the flock.
Baaba~~~baababa~~~
Sheep, like snowballs, screamed one after another on the slope. The shepherd with a pair of eyes exposed also saw a strange dressed group slowly walking along the road, but exquisitely made him unable to move his sight.
Knowing that he could not speak, Lu Liangsheng did not ask questions, but just smiled at the shepherd who showed his vigilance and raised his hand and bowed.
This action scared the shepherd on the opposite side, and shrank back with the wooden stick that drove the sheep.
Seeing this, Lu Liangsheng smiled apologetically and was about to leave. He turned around and continued to look forward, looking at the city and market here. As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly stopped and slapped his other palm with a slap.
‘How come I forgot?’
Regarding language barriers, there seems to be a passage in "Shiyi of Nanshui" that records that the dialects of two places are unknown. One priest created a magic method that allows people in different dialects in the two places to learn the words of one of them and understand them.
‘Well...let me think about it.’
Lu Liangsheng knocked his fingertips and stood there for a while. The four scholars guarding both sides of the old donkey wanted to speak but stopped, so he had to wait patiently. After a while, Lu Liangsheng pinched his palm, walked to the bookshelf, and took out a few talismans left by Sun Yingxian from it. He pulled one and kneaded it into a ball of flames. Then, the flames disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes.
‘I don’t know if it can have the same effect.’
Recalling the content in "Shiyi of Nanshui" and the spell recorded above, Lu Liangsheng's lips quickly stammered, spreading out the black and gray in his hand, and blew it to the shepherd.
The wind started to blow.
Ashes flew away from his palms, forming a black cloud floating away from the shepherd. The latter was so scared that he threw away the sheep's stick and turned around to run. Black smoke caught up with him and instantly drilled into his seven orifices. Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand and grabbed a wisp of the "little tail" dragged out by the black cloud, and then closed his eyes.
The spiritual consciousness extended along the wisp of black smoke, and the same thing gathered over there. After a moment, in the sound of the four scholars' call, he slowly opened his eyes, nodded to the four people, indicating that it was okay, and brushed his sleeves to put away the spell, and walked towards the shepherd with a try-making attitude.
Baaba~~
The flock of sheep scattered, panicked and avoided the stranger. The man with his body could not move at all, but his eyes were slanted in his eye sockets, staring at the figure slowly approaching.
Suddenly, a word rang out: "Don't be afraid, we are just lost travelers."
When Lu Liangsheng said this, he was also shocked. The words in his mouth were not the original Chinese language at all, but a strange tone. With his fingertips, the shepherd there could move at this time, rubbed his sore arms, turned around, and was still a little panicked.
"I just want to ask the way, where is this place?" Lu Liangsheng raised his hand gently, and brushed his numb arms, which made the shepherd touch his arms in surprise, and looked at the person he had never seen before.
“Egypt…Egypt province.”
Egypt? Province?
Although he was able to communicate with the other party, he was not clear about what the so-called province meant. Lu Liangsheng probably guessed that it should be similar to the county.
"Then are there business travelers from the East?"
The shepherd met the weirdo in front of him, his tone was gentle, and his previous fear was slightly better. He trembled and raised his fingers to the front of the road.
"In the past there was a market.... Going forward, there were Calabasa, and there were vendors from Constantinople in the East..."
Lu Liangsheng frowned. How did the East become Constantine... It seems that the Sui Kingdom is still farther east, and I want to ask more questions, but the shepherd in front of me can no longer say much useful things, and hesitate, and it seems that he does not have a wide understanding.
‘Let’s go to a crowded place.’
After thanking this person, Lu Liangsheng went back to the road and told the four of them that there were cities and markets, so there were food and sleeping. The four scholars were eager to go over and rest now. They endured the pain in their feet and followed Lu Liangsheng along the road to the market that the shepherd said.
Soon, there were noises in front of me.
A circle of mud drills could be seen from a distance, and a few thin men with bare upper body mixed with black mud. The woman rubbed the hay inside and made it into pieces of mud drills and placed it in the sun. Aside was a newly-launched house. The children in linen sat barefoot on a piece of earth and rock playing. When they heard the sound of copper bells, they tilted their heads and watched curiously as the five people and donkeys came here. The men and women who were busy building the house stopped their work and looked at the strange group in front of them.
Lu Liangsheng nodded friendly to them. Compared to the uncivilized people he saw when he first came, these people were not as dark in their skin and looked much more comfortable.
In the past, the half-built house was noisy and noisy. In the round market, there were many interlaced stalls, with unfamous fruits and vegetables, and also items of Sui Dynasty steamed buns and cakes, which were placed in different shapes in dustpans, and people still chose them. The stout woman holding a pot with a pot of wine on her head and ran to a nearby mud room; in the wide square in the distance, there was a vocal singing, and a woman in a linen fiddling with a standing piano; not far away, as if inspired by the sound of the piano, several dark men pulled a rope and crushed a thick stone pillar back and forth to the wheat on the ground.
These scenes bring unique exotic styles, which are novel.
Unfortunately, the market was still quite small. Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey around and inquired about the Eastern Kingdoms. Most of them were Constantine or Persia.
It was still early, and then Lu Liangsheng continued to go up the river to the nearest city, Karabusa. There were many camel caravans passing by. Every time he walked along the road, there were many dilapidated temples and even dog-headed people.
"What are the people here who worship this kind of god?"
There are also many monsters on the land of Jiuzhou that have achieved enlightenment and become gods, but most of them will appear in human form in the end, and few dog-headed people like this sit in temples.
"So he is a barbarian!" Wang Feng scoffed at these weathered and peeling dilapidated temples.
"Foreigner..."
Just as Wang Feng was talking, a sound suddenly blew quietly into Lu Liangsheng's ears, like a woman.
"A foreigner... listen to my name...Isis..."
In the bookshelf on the old donkey's back, the toad Taoist pushed a gap open, poked out the toad's face and looked at it. He also heard the sound and hummed.
"The god of fart, I beat three of them one!"
Lu Liangsheng smiled at his master, turned his eyes, followed the direction of the sound, and led the old donkey over. He also wanted to see what the gods in the foreign land looked like.
