Chapter 6 A foothold(1/2)
the next day,
The sun rises in the east.
"I'm so stupid, really,"
A loli sat on a stone by the stream,
She raised her lifeless eyes and muttered to herself.
"I only knew that the risk of 'asking for a title' was high, as I would be killed by a powerful man, but I didn't expect that even a handsome young man would be so cruel."
"I woke up early in the morning and wandered around the nearby mountains, hoping to meet a good person with a strong character and a kind heart. I am just a harmless little monster. I never hurt anyone or steal.
Rob. I finally met a handsome young man. I thought I could get what I wanted, but ended up looking like this..."
I finished speaking, but I was sobbing and couldn't form a sentence.
···
"Hey, are you really a monster?"
Are you sure it's not some funny troupe?
After washing up in the creek nearby, Li Yu stood up and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"You have transformed into a human form, no matter how you look at it, you are not bad. Besides: you are a squirrel, don't you still want to be eight feet tall and eight feet in waist?"
I am a female...a woman!
The little girl who couldn't help but roll her eyes also knew that she was 'not at a loss'. Not only did she succeed in 'asking for a seal', but she was also in a perfect state that was almost the same as a human being. Although she had long golden hair and a pair of erected hair on top of her head.
Big ears, but they can be covered by a bun.
Ordinary monsters usually use threats or even force to seek a seal.
The result is half human, half beast, extremely vicious... You must know that if you want to practice human skills, the closer you look to a human, the more likely you are to get twice the result with half the effort. From this point of view, not only did she not lose money, she also gained great benefits.
but--
Wow,
Lifting her right foot, the shackles hanging on it made a clattering sound, making this little blond animal-eared loli's eyes filled with mist, and she was about to cry.
"Master Li, my body can't stand the shackles, can you..."
"no!"
Li Yu flatly refused.
"Who asked me to drink 'forfeited wine' last night?"
"You don't have to act, I'm not a bad person. If you do anything unusual-"
Patting the crossbow hanging on his waist, Li Yu looked indifferent.
"I'm a kind-hearted person, but my crossbow arrows don't have eyes!"
"Huh, cheapskate."
While the squirrel loli snorted coldly, Li Yu sat on the stone next to her.
"I ask, you answer."
"The first question is, what era is it now and who is the current emperor?"
···

"Eat some 'pre-dinner fruit' first,"
After a while, Winnie, who went out to look for food, came back, put down a pile of fruits that Li Yu could not identify, and then walked towards the creek with the chicken with its neck broken in her hand, preparing to make the real main course.
As for Li Yu?
What a joke, he doesn’t even know the difference between leeks and weeds, so of course he’s just waiting to eat.
"Did you get any information about this continent from that extraordinary creature?"
"Well, there are quite a few."
Half an hour later, while eating the roast chicken cooked by Winnie, Li Yu chewed hard on the 'flavorless', 'old and raw' chicken while relaying the information he obtained from the squirrel.
"First of all, this place called the 'Western Continent' is currently ruled by a country called the 'Great Zhou'."
At this point, Li Yu couldn't help but want to rub his temples, but stopped when he saw the grease on his hands.
The history here is almost the same as the history books of Li Yu's previous life. The reason why it is similar is because there are also Xia, Shang and Western Zhou, and the Eastern Zhou is divided into two parts; the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, unifying the Qin and Han Dynasties; three parts, Wei, Shu, Wu, and the Second Jin
Extended from front to back; Southern and Northern Dynasties stood side by side, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties.
But in this world, it is not an exaggeration for a strong man to fight thousands of miles alone, but to have blocked a hundred thousand enemies with one sword. It is a fact. The monks soared into the clouds, rode on the mist, cut the dragon veins and practiced feng shui, and soared in the daytime. It is also a conclusive record. It is simply a magical version.
History of the Celestial Dynasty.
And this "Great Zhou" is the "Later Zhou" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but for some reason Taizu Guo Wei did not die of illness early, but lived to the age of seventy-one.
As Guo Wei, who started his career as a "yellow robe", he naturally did not give the Forbidden Army general Zhao Kuangyin a chance to "learn" and successfully passed down the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Well, that's right,
He was actually the one who first played the "yellow robe", and Zhao Kuangyin was just paying tribute to his "old leader".
Guo Wei was born in troubled times and grew up in the military. He advocated frugality and severely punished corrupt officials. It was under his careful management that the original "Song Taizu" Zhao Kuangyin was able to obtain a solid rear to unify the world.
In short, in this world where Guo Wei did not die of illness early, Zhao Kuangyin eventually became the most powerful general in the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Today, a hundred years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the hinterland of the Central Plains is peaceful and the people are at peace, quite like the prosperous Tang Dynasty...
"And where we are is the 'Middle Guizhou Road' of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Li Yu casually drew a 'rooster' map on the ground, and then clicked on the location near the 'chicken's butt'.
"Most of the land here is mountainous and forested, with extremely difficult transportation and few human settlements. It is an area where the Zhou government has weak governance. All kinds of demons and monsters... that is, there are a large number of extraordinary creatures, as well as fugitives, cultists, and all sorts of things lurking.
"
Well, the so-called "Middle Guizhou Road" is equivalent to Guizhou in Li Yu's world, including part of Chongqing, Hubei and Hunan. It is a typical barren mountain and bad water!
"The 'Jiannan Road' next door, as well as a large area of land further to the west, is occupied by the 'Bashu Ghost House', which is blatantly ruled by the Great Zhou Dynasty - it is said that its leader, 'Emperor Changsheng', is a true immortal on land."
··Of course, if these are all from that squirrel, we don’t know whether they are true or false.”
"In other words, there is an organization called the 'Bashu Soul Sect' near us, and the god it believes in, the 'Eternal King', can compete with the kingdom 'Zhou' that rules the Western Continent?"
Ah this...
After hearing Winnie's understanding, Li Yu thought for a while and nodded.
"That's what it means,"
"So, what should we do next?"
For Winnie, both the 'Soul Sect' and the 'Eternal King' are too far away from her. The most important goal now is to find a place to stabilize first, and at the same time let Li Yu become a transcendent.
"The next step is of course to integrate into the local human society. But..."
They have no identity!
Whether it is Li Yu Hehao or Winnie, they are all "black households" to the fullest.
The only difference is that one crossed over from Blue Star, and the other sneaked in from the continent next door.
I learned from Squirrel Loli that this 'Great Zhou' has already implemented the household registration system, and people without household registration are 'untouchables'. And the treatment of untouchables... Although Squirrel Loli didn't say it, Li Yuyong
You can think of it with your toes.
That’s a mere ‘untouchable’ who can kill without breaking the law!
"Both identity and extraordinary power must be resolved in a short time. Then——"
Li Yu's eyes fell on the gray place name 'Leyuan' on the mobile phone navigation. According to Squirrel Loli, this county used to have dozens of households and hundreds of households. However, it was attacked by ghosts a month ago.
The entire county was devastated with casualties and was almost razed to the ground!
The nearby counties of Yelang and Ligao have closed their city gates tightly, put the entire county under martial law, and sent a request for help to the superior Zhenzhou.
However, as the old saying goes, the traffic on the Central Guizhou Road is disappointing. The rolling mountainous and forested landforms are truly overwhelming. Wait for Zhenzhou to report to Qianzhou, the capital of the Central Guizhou Road, and then send experts there to eliminate the ghost trouble.
, I don’t know how long it will take.
In fact, before the incident, Zhenzhou had already asked the capital for help, and Qianzhou, the capital, did send troops: the same soldiers and bandits who used Li Yu and Wen Ni as cannon fodder!
If there was an established professional army, even if Leyuan County was defeated, it could at least allow the civilians to retreat to a safe place. As a result, the army transferred from Jiannan Road failed to arrive as scheduled, resulting in heavy casualties throughout Leyuan County.
Because he was afraid of military law, he simply became a bandit.
Of course, Li Yu didn't know these inside stories.
"Leyuan County is our opportunity,"
You can use the so-called "ghost trouble" to evaluate the combat effectiveness of this world and defeat monsters to get materials; you can also try to integrate into this world.
Winnie has a "Western" appearance, which is not easy to disguise; but Li Yu is a Chinese man with upright roots. He is said to be a survivor of Leyuan County, so he can't get away with it. In addition, what if the county
To be continued...
