The eight boundaries of Shu.

In order to prevent Yuanmeng, a large city wall was built, which continued from east to north. There were eight passes in total, so the north side was collectively called the eight boundaries of Shu.

Qingyuan and Gu Cang sat in the inn and listened carefully to the crowd.

There are passers-by and several local people here.

This place belongs to the eight regions of Shu. The local people are fierce. Most of the men are tall and irritable, fierce in their temper, and often fight or even kill people. The law is difficult to restrict. However, similar to the place where Qingyuan is located at this moment, as long as they do not provoke them on their own initiative, or they hold the truth, they are still not afraid.

People here can reason, but they won’t harm others for no reason, and they are not considered evil in thieves.

The real cold place in the eight realms of Shu originated from Shuanggui Mountain.

What is being talked about in the inn happened to be the matter on Shuanggui Mountain.

...

Regarding Shuanggui Mountain, Qingyuan did not ask about Hua Mei, but sent a message to Bai Jiye.

Although Bai Jiye's own Taoism was shallow, he had extremely high wisdom and plans. He knew that his practice was difficult to achieve, so he left countless methods in the world, from the court to the market, and could be said to be full of ears and ears all over the world and was well-versed in news from all walks of life.

Although Bai Jiye did not know the secrets of the immortals such as the Demon Realm, he also informed all the local terrain, customs, and some major events in ancient times, as well as recent events.

Just now, no one in the inn talked about the matter on Shuanggui Mountain. It was just that Qing Yuan said unintentionally and guided him, so that the people in the inn would talk about this matter, which was used to compare with Bai Jiye's news.

"The Shuanggui Mountain is really terrifying. Not only are there countless ferocious birds and beasts, but even humans are not good people."

"Bazi County, Shuanggui Mountain, is a farmer during the day and a bandit during the night. During the day, he talks with passing passengers. At night, he uses a kitchen knife and hoe to kill people and get money." An old man in his sixties sighed, looking about sixty years old, and said: "Although my eight lands of Shu, I am generous in character, do not obey discipline, but I am not evil, and I will not harm people for no reason... But the local actions of Bazi County are really scary. After the infamousness comes out, even if we, the people from the eight lands of Shu, dare not report their own homes when we go out."

The old man in sixties drank a sip of wine and said, "If it weren't for this, why did I have no way to go when I was walking outside and ended up doing nothing? It was just because people heard that people from the eight realms of Shu did not dare to use me. If they used a fake identity, they would have to find out the origin before they would dare to use it, otherwise it would be just a mess."

As he said, he seemed to remember the old things and sighed.

"One mouse shit broke a pot of porridge."

A middle-aged man next to him said, "I first arrived at the eight lands of Shu, and was frightened and worried. After walking a few times, I found out the truth..."

This was obviously a foreigner, and there were about a dozen people around him, sitting at three tables, obviously transporting goods.

Since the beginning, Qingyuan only listened carefully and never spoke again.

Everyone talked about it for a long time, and they couldn't help but talk about the recent changes.

"The people over there were always good, but now..." Mr. Wu shook his head slightly and said, "Even people are no longer considered a person."

"What does Mr. Wu mean?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.

"This year, there is not much grain harvest in the eight areas of Shu. In previous years, there were food disasters in the imperial court. This time, the border between Nanliang has already fought with Shu. Moreover, the general Jiang Baijian was defeated and the food was burned down. In order to maintain the army's food, Shu has no empty food now, so the situation this year is relatively serious and can be called famine..."

The old man named Wu sighed, "Fortunately, it's all over now, but during the famine a few months ago, alas..."

He shook his head slightly and said, "Our here is the periphery of the eight regions of Shu. It is relatively south and the harvest is pretty good. I took some food, went to see some relatives, and distributed them. Then I heard some rumors about it."

"What rumor?"

Someone next to him was surprised and couldn't help asking.

"In previous years, people often killed people, but this year..." Mr. Wu paused and then whispered: "It's a sucking man."

"Eat people?" Everyone was shocked.

"Because the food harvest is not much, and the court has no disasters and food relief, there will be famine and starves people to death, but now... killing people can eat meat." Mr. Wu sighed and said, "It has become a trend that we heard that killing passers-by and eating passers-by, and we can't control the food. Our governments here can't control the other side, and we don't want to control it, let alone the governments there, and we don't want to control it at all... There are many such things."

The middle-aged man said just now, "But few people are willing to go there?"

Mr. Wu said, "So, if you can't kill passers-by, you will eat again."

...

When Gu Cang heard this, he asked, "What is Yizi and Meat?"

Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged and said, "Trade each other's children, kill them and eat them."

Gu Cang was stunned. It was a monster and had no deep feelings about the things like cannibalism. It was just that similar cannibalism is really rare...

And the people who were talking to Mr. Wu were already in shock.

"How come this..."

"The world today is not very chaotic. There have been many years of wars in our north. Why do we still have such a thing?"

"Others still have conscience, but the people over there really don't have any conscience."

"The tiger is poisonous and does not eat their children. They just gave them to others for their children. This is the case..." Someone sneered.

"Forget it, don't mention these things."

Old Wu waved his hand and said, "Drink."

At this moment, a servant came hurriedly outside the door, as if to invite Mr. Wu back home.

Mr. Wu heard this and snorted: "It's really boring, and drinking is not enough."

As he said that, he got up and left with his sleeves.

Everyone gave it to each other.

...

Qingyuan withdrew his gaze and said in his heart: "It seems that this old man is considered to have a high status nearby, not just a rich man."

Ordinary people work hard every day just to eat for a bite of food.

Although the old man was not dressed in luxury and was just ordinary, he was able to drink and have fun here and talk to others. He had family members and family members, which showed that his family was not bad.

No wonder in these famine years, there is still surplus food to be distributed to relatives and friends.

As for what the old man said, it also left a little haze in Qingyuan's heart.

It seems that the people in Bazi County, Shuangguishan are more fierce and cruel than they thought. Although they have a human body, they are afraid they will not have the hearts of others.

"Is it famine?"

Qingyuan pondered for a moment.

In fact, the Demon Realm is in Shuanggui Mountain, or in other words, the Demon Realm is within the scope of the Demon Realm.

Famine for months?

Originally, robbing and killing passers-by was already a place where there were poor mountains and bad waters. However, in the past few months, the people of Bazi County, Shuanggui Mountain abandoned their last conscience and killed people and ate?

It is said that the great demons have been operating the demon realm for several months?

Qingyuan seemed to understand something. (To be continued.)
