Soul echo

Chapter 582

Having just arrived in Dongtu, Zhong Ye and the others still have a lot to do, for example, change the clothes on their bodies.

Some Xilu people lived here in Jinmen to learn knowledge without going to other places after they came from Xilu.

They will stay in Jinmen for a long time, or even stay here for the rest of their lives, get married and have children here, and never return to Westland.

Even these Westerners, after arriving in the East, will change their clothes to make themselves closer to the customs of the East, so as not to make any jokes.

It is really troublesome and eye-catching to walk in Dongtu wearing Xilu's clothes, but changing into Dongtu's clothes is different. Even if the appearance and characteristics are completely different from those of Dongtu people, people passing by will not notice it immediately.

Because pedestrians mostly only pay attention to the general image of a person, unless they intend to, they seldom pay attention to the specific appearance of a passerby who passes by them.

In addition, there are many barbarians in Dongtu, as long as they put on Dongtu's clothes, no one will know that Lilian is from Westland.

But it was a bit troublesome for Zhong Ye to change his outfit.

His figure is too tall. Although there are giants and their descendants in Dongtu, their clothes are also custom-made.

In fact, it was similar when he was in Xilu. When he bought clothes, he always remade them from the largest size clothes in the store.

Fortunately, there are sewing machines in Dongtu's tailor shop. If you are willing to spend money, you can get them as early as tomorrow.

Of course Zhong Ye was willing to spend money, so the next day, before heading to Wangjiazhuang, Zhong Ye got the clothes from the tailor shop.

Zhong Ye's custom-made short clothes (referring to the tight-fitting tops with short skirts, not short sleeves), use less material than the clothes worn by ordinary gentry, so the workmanship will naturally be faster.

After packing their luggage, the three of them left from the north gate of Jinmen to Wangjiazhuang.

"...Why do I feel that this outfit is more convenient than the ones I wore in Westland?"

In a world with extraordinary power, the gap between men and women has been reduced a lot, which has led to many women walking in the rivers and lakes, and the ready-made clothes sold in tailor shops naturally include female knights' clothes.

The clothing of the Eastern Tu people usually consists of two layers, the inside and the outside. Like the clothes Lilian is wearing now, the inner is sleeveless, and the outer is a jacket with sleeves.

These two clothes were made of excellent materials and ventilated, so even if they were exposed to the sun, Lilian didn't feel how hot she was.

Because of the two layers of clothing, she has a lot of pockets on her body.

In addition to the two outer pockets on the outer coat, there are four inner pockets, two inner coats, and two more trousers. There are a total of ten pockets on the whole body, enough for her to hold a lot of things.

In addition, she usually wears a fanny pack, so she doesn't need to carry an extra backpack when fighting.

Lilian tried, and even if those pockets were filled, it wouldn't affect her in any way.

On the way to Wangjiazhuang, Lilian was already getting used to her new clothes to ensure that she would not make mistakes in the battle.

Wangjiazhuang is not far from Jinmen. Zhong Ye and the others walked on the main road for about 15 minutes, asked a passing farmer, and walked for another 10 minutes before arriving at Wangjiazhuang.

All the land in this Zhuangzi belongs to the Wang family. The Wang family is the emperor here. Even if people from the government come, they must talk to the Wang family in harmony.

But if it's about the 'Abyss', the government will kill them all if they want, even if the land belongs to the Wang family, it's useless.

It's just a pity that when the government brought people to check the situation, they didn't find anything related to the abyss from Wangjiazhuang.

Not to mention that it was related to the abyss, they didn't even notice the slightest bit of weirdness.

The center of Wangjiazhuang is a manor, and the tenant farmers built houses around the manor, and outside the houses are large tracts of farmland.

The Wang family lives on rent from tenant farmers, and usually rents out some farm tools and cattle. Although they are landlords, they are not extravagant. They are still a bunch of bumpkins in essence.

Now is not the time to plow the fields, the farmers are sitting under the shade of the trees doing other farm work, and only some old people can be free.

There was a small river running through Wangjiazhuang. Zhong Ye saw an old man sitting by the river fishing, so he walked over and asked, "Old man, is this place Wangjiazhuang?"

"Ah?" The old man looked back at Zhong Ye and nodded, "That's right, this place is Wangjiazhuang. What is the little brother doing here?"

"I heard about the reward offered by the Wang family, so I'm here to slay demons." Zhong Ye cupped his fists and was about to take Lilian and the others away.

The old man's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, "This is impossible!"

The three of them stopped walking when they heard the words, and turned around in doubt.

"That monster is very scary. There have been people like you who have gone to Wang's Village before, but they never came out again." The old man sighed, "However, although that monster is scary, it didn't hurt anyone outside the Wang family—— In two nights, someone in our village ran into the monster, but the monster left without hurting him.

"As long as you don't enter the Wang's house, and you don't go to slay demons, you will be fine, but if you want to go to slay demons, I'm afraid you will end up like those people before!"

After listening, Zhong Ye and the others exchanged glances, and they could see from other people's eyes that they were also puzzled by this.

This matter seems to be getting more and more weird. First, the government went to investigate, but found nothing, and then they only deal with the Wang family and those who help the Wang family. So, what about the Wang family?

Zhong Ye asked: "Dare to ask my husband, has anyone escaped from this Wang family?"

The old man thought about it carefully, then shook his head hesitantly, "It should not be..."

The Wang family was confined to that manor?If so, how did they get the news out?
Thinking of this, Zhong Ye asked again, and then he got an even more strange answer from the old man——

"That's the notice posted by the servants of the royal family in the city!"

Zhong Ye frowned, "The servant didn't escape?"

"I didn't escape..."

Zhong Ye dug into the money bag, took out a few copper coins, stuffed them into the old man's hand, and led Lilian and the others to the manor without saying a word.

The old man kept shouting behind them with the money in his hand, and even the attention of other farmers was attracted, but Zhong Ye didn't stop.

When he came to the gate of the manor, Zhong Ye knocked on the gate.

After a while, the door of the concierge next door was opened, and a middle-aged man came out, "Who is... eh? Are you..."

Zhong Ye and the others didn't look like tourists, nor did they look like monks or Taoists passing by for alms.

Zhong Ye cupped his fists and saluted, "I'll come to kill demons after I heard the notice from Wang Family Village in Jinmen."

"Ah, oh, oh..."

The concierge was stunned for a while before he realized it, and then a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that they are knights who came to slay demons and slay demons. Welcome, I will wait for my master to welcome the three of you."

As he said that, the porter also clasped his fists and shook, "You three, please wait for a while, and the younger one will go and open the gate."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the next room, entered the manor through the back door of the house, and opened the gate of the manor.

"Three knights, my master said that any heroes and mages who come to slay demons and demons, even the young ones, can directly open the door and welcome them into the house." The porter smiled and led Zhong Ye and the three of them into the manor. Please come with me, my master should be sitting in the lobby right now."

Zhong Ye and the others followed behind the porter, and followed him to the hall of the compound.

As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw a middle-aged man drinking tea anxiously, holding a book in his hand, but he seemed unable to read it.

Seeing the concierge bring Zhong Ye and the others in, the middle-aged man stood up abruptly, with a look of surprise on his face, "Wang Liu, these three are..."

"That's right, master, these three young heroes are here to slay demons!" The porter grinned.

The middle-aged man immediately turned his attention to Zhong Ye and the others, with a smile on his face, "Three young heroes, please sit down, please sit down!"

Zhong Ye was tall and burly, and he knew at a glance that he had supernatural powers, and that he was a man of Taoism.

"Master, you don't need to be so polite." Zhong Ye looked at the middle-aged man and asked earnestly, "Dare to ask where is that demon?"
