Chapter 6, The Traveler
These are subtle differences caused by lifestyle, personality, and so on, as well as differences in temperament
Although this person is wearing a robe, it does not seem strange for them to appear in such an ancient world
It is as if a white crane stands among a flock of chickens, so conspicuous that one can recognize it at a glance
However, he still said: "I am going to the market to buy something now, so I will not accompany you. By the way, it would be best for you to move, move a little further away. Who knows whether that hunter might let something slip or have other intentions?"
From a distance, upon seeing the attire of that person, Wang Ling displayed an expression of disbelief.
By noon, it is estimated that thousands of people will gather here
This was quite common in an era of underdeveloped commerce, and as the year-end approached, such a large market was still rather bustling
This infuriated the man in black, who took a step back to evade the noose. Following that, he seized the noose, gave it a shake, and had already snatched it away.
However, after taking a glance, I suddenly felt it was different, let out a light gasp, my expression turned quite strange, and then I moved closer to join the others.
In that fleeting moment, Wang Ling impulsively wanted to take them home.
The meaning of "Guangyang City" mentioned earlier is certainly not referring to a city called Guangyang that is located in front.
The man in black let out a cold snort, truly unwilling to deal with these two individuals
Three little foxes were left in a daze
Wang Ling's heart stirred, and she thought, could it be that Xiao Bai and the others' nest is nearby
For example, the famous East and West Markets of Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty
He is resorting to his old tricks again, which should be sufficient to handle the current situation
It seems not surprising that Xiaobai goes to secretly observe Wang Ling's training every day, so naturally their nest would not be too far from Wang Ling's cultivation site
Thus, Wang Ling was so shocked
The little official, however, only felt a numbness in his hand, as the noose was already snatched away by the man in black, and he could not help but feel a mix of shock and anger: "What a monstrous person, daring to resist arrest!"
In this way, the other two little foxes saw this and surprisingly climbed onto Wang Ling's shoulders as well, clearly not wanting to leave and wanting Wang Ling to carry them
Wang Ling scolded with a laugh, fortunately, these little foxes are very intelligent, love cleanliness, and their fur is snow-white and glossy, without any unpleasant odor
There are also specialized merchants selling fabrics, furniture, iron pots, salt, and other items
Wang Ling immediately thought it was bad, as expected, the words of the black-robed Taoist angered the two young officials
In summary, it is quite dazzling in this era
However, the man in the black robe was unaware that he had already been recognized by Wang Ling, another traveler, yet he continued to be entangled by those minor officials
It is difficult to articulate, but it is evident at a glance
However, Easterners are always able to discern from the subtle details in each other's expressions what country the other person is from
Wang Ling was casually wandering around when she bought some herbs and other items
Everywhere there are common people dressed in rough garments made of yellow and white linen, carrying shoulder poles and baskets among other things
The words are arrogant, showing not the slightest regard for such insignificant officials
This guy, this guy...
For example, those ABCs, although they are also of Chinese descent, appear to have a lifestyle that is distinctly different from that of those living in the mainland
Some are ordinary citizens or hunters selling their own eggs, herbs, and even some animal skins.
Wang Ling originally thought that someone had taken action, which was quite normal
In an instant, the man in black opened his eyes as if blind, his mind filled with a blinding white light, unable to hear or see anything
Most importantly, the materials of this person's clothing and shoes are clearly not from this world
The eyes then became sharp, and with a swift motion, he pulled out the wooden board, pointing it at the man in black, and shouted: "Dare you, sorcerer, to use evil magic to harm others? Do you not fear the laws of the government?"
However, as the small official in front of him appeared dazed and was about to be urged to his doom, another small official, with a wooden board inserted at his waist, emitted a faint glow, causing the first official to suddenly tremble, and his eyes became clear all at once
As his gaze ascended, the inscriptions, along with the grand seal, emitted a radiant light, piercing into the pupils of the man in black
Hmph, a mere demon thinks it can cast spells to harm others? It should take a look at the wooden tablet in my hand..." the little official said proudly
In fact, as early as when the man in black performed the soul-calling technique, Wang Ling had already shaken his head, secretly lamenting the predicament of that man in black
However, upon reflection, it seems it is best to let it go. ... In the home of the Danling Wang family, they surprisingly keep a few foxes ...
In this world, the people have a strong martial spirit, and the majority of individuals in the marketplace carry swords at their waists. A disagreement often leads to drawing swords against each other, and it is quite normal for blood to be spilled within five steps.
What exactly is that wooden board
It is somewhat like three cats being similar
Upon seeing the appearance, demeanor, and manner of speaking of the man in the black robe, Wang Ling immediately recognized him at first glance
These individuals are not particularly easy to deal with at any time
This situation is akin to being struck by a stun grenade
It is no different from before reincarnation, when those foreigners encountered Easterners, they always found it difficult to distinguish which country they were from, believing that all Easterners looked alike
In an instant, the gaze of the man in black turned towards the wooden board, on which two lines of text were written in ink, sealed with a vermilion stamp
Suddenly, chaotic voices were heard ahead!
It would not be good if this matter were to get out
The current situation is unclear; these two are clearly law enforcement figures akin to constables.
"Which sorcerer dares to use their magic to deceive the crowd in this place? Surrender at once and submit to capture..." shouted one of the minor officials.
This also seems to be the origin of the term for buying things
He still has one sentence left to say: "Books and illustrations, the human heart is the most unreliable."
A glimmer of light flickered in the eyes of the man in black, as he intended to compel the two minor officials, to avoid any trouble
The young official who just spoke, without further ado, flicked the rope in his hand and aimed it at the head of the man in black.
However, two officials dressed in black, with wooden tablets at their waists and long swords in hand, were advancing towards a man clad in a black robe.
The so-called Guangyang City is merely a marketplace, and it is one that occurs once every fifteen days
After speaking, he paid no attention to the three little foxes chattering away, set them down, and quickly left.
Two clerks shouted loudly, shaking off their spirits as they lunged towards the man in black, swiftly pinning him down and binding him with ropes.
It is still early in the morning, the time is still early, and there are not many people yet
In fact, the market was originally a commercial area for buying and selling goods
Good courage, still wanting to escape
However, Wang Ling immediately recognized that this was a traveler from another world
Three little foxes were restless on Wang Ling's shoulders, playfully turning around, chirping, and constantly gesturing with their claws
The man was tall and imposing, with a stern expression, and he shouted, "Get out of the way, when did I cast a spell?"
