, the Deadly Town of Dongmang (Bai Meng’s additional update)

The road conditions in the countryside are extremely poor and the journey is bumpy.

The rugged roads and small roads made Zhang Guangmu feel like he had returned to primitive society.

Looking all the way, there are thick vegetation and messy rocks.

After driving for a long time, Zhang Guangmu realized how important people like Miao Zhi and Tang Hua were persuaded by Lotus Tongue when he was on the initial map.

Originally, according to Zhang Guangmu's idea, he must have spent all his wealth to buy a carriage.

Find a vicissitudes guard who looks a bit like a master, no matter what his strength is, as long as he looks powerful.

Then a scholar, a guard, and a coachman, a total of three people, rushed all the way to the capital in a light carriage.

Now……

Zhang Guangmu could only be thankful that the twenty-two guards had conscientiously stopped his attempt to commit suicide.

It's not a matter of money or not.

Zhang Guangmu doesn't care about money.

Even if you use silver ingots to make money, you won't feel heartache.

As long as the Dragon Shield balance in your account is not consumed, you can drop whatever you like.

but……

If he had really booked a carriage before setting off, looking at the strange road conditions, Zhang Guangmu estimated that half of his life would have been shaken off by now.

Even if he wasn't shaken to death, he would have to vomit at least three or five times.

If that really happens, the first time I take on the role of a plot protagonist, I will immediately overturn and lose all my image.

Traveling in a hurry is actually quite boring.

Zhang Guangmu didn't sleep all night last night. First, he killed a demon with nothing to do, and then he stayed up all night, reading and accumulating knowledge.

If it weren't for some silly little guys in the audience who often showed off their tricks and would come up with funny jokes to cheer them up, Zhang Guangmu would have probably fallen asleep while walking.

After spending most of the day, the group passed through inaccessible barren mountains, wild ridges, forests, and lakes, and finally arrived at a populated place.

This is a small town, and there is a sign at the entrance of the town.

Although the wooden sign had been exposed to wind, sun and rain, and the three words written on it were somewhat mottled and unclear, Zhang Guangmu could still barely make out the three words "Dongmang Town".

It's a small town not mentioned in the script.

"How about we spend the night repairing here and continue our journey tomorrow?"

As the leader of the escort team and a well-known ranger from all over Liufeng County, Miao Zhi still has some weight in this small team.

Everyone said they had no objections and focused their attention on Zhang Guangmu.

Originally, everyone just regarded him as a poor scholar who did not work hard and had no regard for food and grain, and regarded him as a prodigal son.

Many people in the escort team wanted to embarrass Zhang Guangmu after seeing him.

As a result, after walking all night, I still looked calm and relaxed, neither complaining of tiredness nor suffering.

Encountering some blind wild animals in the dark night, some people in the escort team were frightened and ran around in panic, but Zhang Guangmu always maintained a calm and calm attitude without any special reaction.

In the team, a small number of guards have begun to look at Zhang Guangmu with admiration and no longer regard him simply as a nerd.

It's three o'clock in the day now, which is not a good time to be on the road, but...

At this time point, you only need to take a little rest. After the sun is at its most fierce, the time from noon to evening can be used to catch up!

The reason why Miao Zhi made this decision was because of his own selfish motives.

"Our Liufeng County is not far from the capital. One night and one morning, we have already covered 30% of the way."

Having said this, Miao Zhi looked at Zhang Guangmu: "It only takes two to three days to get there!"

"Don't worry, there is definitely enough time left before Spring Festival. We have to conserve our energy!"

"Don't rush so slowly that you end up getting tired and sick."

"Besides, in the capital, the money spent for one night can be spent elsewhere for ten days!"

It seems that he is helping Zhang Guangmu analyze, but in fact he is avoiding the important issues and deliberately missing the key issues.

If you go all out, it will indeed only take two or three days.

But like now, at noon, you have to find a place to rest, and rest until the next day, which will take at least five or six days.

In fact, Miao Zhi did not want to use this money to blackmail Zhang Guangmu.

He did not take any money for this escort mission - he had already obtained the most precious thing, precious books that could be passed down to his family.

mainly……

He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to learn more from Zhang Guangmu and receive the cultural influence of scholars.

Miao Zhi's parents gave him this name to encourage him to have great ambitions.

As for what to do after setting a great ambition, my parents didn’t say anything, and the person was gone.

So Miao Zhi could only rely on himself to realize it.

The books that Zhang Guangmu gave as escort rewards are very important things.

Sometimes, even if you have money, you can't buy them. Only scholarly families can inherit them, or those children from poor families who have fallen into decline are qualified to borrow books from their classmates, copy them, and use them as family heirlooms.

So Miao Zhi cherished those books very much. He put a small part of them in his hometown, found a location that no one knew, and hid them secretly. Most of the remaining books were carried with him.

because……

According to Zhang Guangmu, these individually selected books are very suitable for getting started with young children.

Miao Zhi thinks Zhang Guangmu is a good person.

A "good guy" who has the potential to become a big shot.

If they had spent more time together on the road, Zhang Guangmu might have taught him some "know-how" of being a scholar!

"Can."

Zhang Guangmu nodded slightly, as if he didn't see through Miao Zhi's thoughts at all.

Actually...

Zhang Guangmu was thinking about a question.

He suddenly realized that this [Dongmang Town]... might have been mentioned seriously in the script.

——According to the original script, when the protagonist [Zhang Guangmu of Liufeng County], a scholar rushing to take the exam, came to this small town, all the people in this small town should have died due to the evil spirits!

In other words, [Dongmang Town] is the predecessor of [Dead Silence Town].

Zhang Guangmu calculated the time, and it happened to be from tonight to day tomorrow...

Tsk…

This operation can be called "the early bug gets eaten by the bird".

We were going very fast, but we happened to jump into the demon's slaughterhouse.

However, when ordinary people encounter this situation, they may be scared to death and immediately run for their lives, but Zhang Guangmu does not need to.

He knows that his death in the world of "Tian Xia Zhi" will not affect the real world.

Even without the Evil Suppression Pendant, he only relied on his own understanding of monsters to dare to rush in and wrestle with the monsters that were slaughtering the town.

Zhang Guangmu collected his thoughts and pointed to the luggage behind Miao Zhi with a smile: "Take out the book "The Story of Monsters", I can teach you some words."

""The Story of Monsters" is the one with the black cover. It's easy to recognize."

"Although this book is clumsy in terms of words and sentences, and it also abuses allusions and piles on rhetoric, it still has something to it."

"I will try my best to use vernacular and make up a short story that is not boring and tell it to you."

Originally, Zhang Guangmu thought that he would be attacked by demons when he was driving at night yesterday.

As a result, the trip was uneventful and nothing happened.

It seems that director Xu Qianqiu is still a person who values ​​martial arts and has no habit of casually adding extra scenes to test the actors' subconscious.

Seeing the look of ecstasy on Miao Zhi's face, Zhang Guangmu turned his head and said to other members of the escort team: "If anyone else is interested in reading, you can come and listen later."

Only a third of them came into their own and expressed their gratitude explicitly.

Although another third of the people have no interest in reading and literacy, they admire Zhang Guangmu's courage when walking at night. They also heard that reading wisely can cultivate the "awesome spirit", which can help them seek good luck and avoid evil, and avoid evil spirits.

invade.

The guards who simply understood awe-inspiring aura as courage thought that Zhang Guangmu must be quite good at reading.

Due to the gap in Zhang Guangmu's personal image, they subconsciously became curious about this "spending scholar" and wanted to listen in to see what he could teach.

The remaining few guards who didn't care about reading or reading or Zhang Guangmu were mainly led by Tang Hua.

Seeing that Zhang Guangmu was the donor, they were driven by a herd mentality and pretended to want to listen to Zhang Guangmu's lectures.
