C75 (2/2)
A person suddenly fell from the sky. Although he was afraid, he wasn't too afraid. Furthermore, that person just stood there in a daze after falling. After the shock had subsided, some people started whispering to each other in the corners of the streets.
”Who is this person, why is he wearing such strange clothes?”
”Did you see that? This person is so strange, why is his hair so short?”
”Could it be a demon? It's said that strange clothes were worn by demons in Nanan County, near the Savage Forest.”
”That's right, that's right. I've heard that demon even eats humans. Could it be that a demon from the Wilderness has come to the imperial city?”
”…”
After standing still, Chen Jing realized that what he saw made him feel as if he was in a dream. Chen Jing was sure that the people watching from afar were definitely Chinese, because they were yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. Moreover, the sounds of their discussion were not small. Although their accents sounded a little strange, making Chen Jing unable to guess which dialect they were speaking, Chen Jing was certain that they were speaking in Chinese, because Chen Jing had basically understood what they were saying.
”Judging from the clothes of the people around him, Chen Jing is sure that he is not wearing Tang suit, nor is he wearing a full Qing uniform. As for whether it is Han suit or Song or Ming period clothing, Chen Jing is not sure. What Chen Jing is sure is that he must have crossed over to ancient China.” I never thought that it would actually be a time space tunnel! ” Chen Jing sighed in his heart.
”Just which dynasty is this? Which prefecture is this? ” This was the first thing Chen Jing needed to understand right now, so after figuring out the reason, he walked over to the people around him, planning to ask the locals about it.
”Monster, the monster is here. Run!”
However, just as Chen Jing was about to ask these people, suddenly, these people ran away as if they had met a great beast. They then closed their doors, and in an instant, the bustling street became empty, leaving only Chen Jing standing in the middle of the street helplessly.
Of course, with Chen Jing's skill, it would be a piece of cake for him to grab one or two people. However, when Chen Jing thought about how he had just arrived, it was obviously not too good to brazenly make a move. Therefore, after a bitter smile, he decided to change his clothes and quietly enter this society.
After strolling along the street for a while, Chen's gaze was finally attracted by a pair of mighty stone lions standing in front of the gates on the right side of the courtyard. On the left and right side of the gates were two ancient bronze doors with large beast heads hung on them, and on each door was a signboard hung the words ”Hall of Imperial Physicians”, while on the two sides of the doorframe was a couplet with seven words written on it.
Of course, what attracted Chen Jing's attention wasn't this couplet, nor the beast head bronze bracelet on the bronze gate, nor the mighty stone lions on both sides. What attracted Chen Jing's gaze was the deeper left wing of the Imperial Physician Hall, because Chen Jing had noticed that several pieces of clothing were hanging out in the air in the depths of the hall. After a while, Chen Jing arrived. He took off his outer robes, chose a dark blue long robe to wear, and then a dark green crown. Unfortunately, the cap was not completely dry yet, but that did not bother Chen Jing. After putting on the cap, Chen Jing circulated his energy and within a few moments, the remaining water on the cap was completely evaporated.
After changing his clothes, Chen Jing's goal was achieved. However, when he saw that the courtyard was empty, he decided to go inside and see if he could get someone to ask about it. After sizing him up for a while, Chen Jing pushed open the door of a room and walked in.
The room's furnishings seemed to be a treasure hall. On the right side of the hall, there was a square red lacquered wooden box with leather straps on the back. Clearly, it was a medicine cabinet.
Chen Jing was about to reach out his right hand to open the medicine chest's lid when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. He was so scared that he hastily withdrew his hand and turned around to look outside the door, only to see a fifteen-sixteen year old girl dressed in a fine black silk jacket and a blue satin vest walking in from the door, followed by a blue palanquin. The young girl was in a rush, and as soon as she saw Chen Jing, who was in the room with the door wide open, she hurriedly ran inside.
