Chapter 268 North Sea Country(1/2)
Chapter 268 Beihai Country
After arriving in the city.
Chen Mo walked out of the parking lot and came to a newspaper booth.
After buying a few newspapers, Chen Mo looked at the contents and gradually understood the environment he was in.
At this time, more than four years have passed since Chen Mo left the city that never sleeps.
For Tiantian, it's almost five years.
As for the Beihai Kingdom, it is a pocket island country extending from the continental shelf at the corner of the Eastern Continent closest to the Western Continent.
There are at least hundreds of similar island countries in the Eastern Continent.
The area of these small pocket countries is much smaller than the so-called small countries like the Ancient Xuan Kingdom, but their prosperity and wealth are not the same.
The area of Beihai Country is very small.
Even including several surrounding islands, it only covers a few hundred square kilometers.
However, because it is located at the cultural intersection of the Eastern and Western Continents, under the collision of various cultures, it has separated from the traditional culture of the Eastern Continent and formed a relatively independent cultural system.
Ukyo City, where Chen Mo is currently located, is the political, economic, and cultural center of Beihai Kingdom.
It hosts more than 60% of the population of the Beihai Kingdom and more than 90% of the economy. It is a much more prosperous metropolis than the Evernight City of the ancient Xuan Kingdom, and is also known as the Pearl of the North Sea.
After initially collecting this information, Chen Mo followed the dense crowd to this busy pedestrian street.
"Sister Gan?"
"Quanfandian?"
Chen Mo couldn't understand the literal meaning for a while.
But after seeing the ambiguous woman in the picture, he suddenly thought of something. After looking stunned, he shook his head speechlessly, smelled the fragrance in the air, and came to a street shop called Nishimura Cuisine.
“Welcome.”
The two waitresses smiled brightly and greeted Chen Mo warmly.
Chen Mo looked at the menu and finally ordered a set meal because it was too troublesome.
Ukyo has a very strong sense of time. Everyone on the street seems to be in a hurry.
It didn't take long.
A waiter wearing a maid uniform came to Chen Mo with a tray.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time, please use it slowly."
The dishes on the tray are all very small, including a small dish of soy sauce rice, a small bowl of miso soup, a small dish of natto, a small dish of pickled vegetables, a fried egg, and a small piece of grilled fish.
After a while.
Chen Mo was quite satisfied with the food here, but the portion was too small, only five times full.
So Chen Mo motioned to the waiter to come over. In the surprised look of the waiter, he actually ordered a dozen sandwiches that were easy to store.
Since Chen Mo paid enough cash, although the waiter was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions.
Time is money.
She quickly brought the sandwiches Chen Mo needed.
With so many sandwiches, Chen Mo naturally didn't want to eat them now, but was preparing to store them for a rainy day.
Although these foods cannot be brought back to the disaster world, in this world, if the food is stored in this kind of space prop, there is no need to worry about spoilage in a short period of time.
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
I have to say that the attitude of the waiters here is quite good.
At least that's the case on the surface.
After Chen Mo gave the waitress some tips, the waitress immediately smiled and looked even more enthusiastic.
"I am a traveler. I heard from my friends that Master Kuchikisai is very famous here. Do you know him?"
"It turns out you are a traveler, Ukyo welcomes you."
Regarding Chen Mo's question, after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"As for the Kuchikisai you mentioned, I have never heard of it. It may be some big shot, but since it is Kuchiki, I think you can go to the Shinkoji Temple. It is the oldest temple in Ukyo City and enshrines many
Ghosts, gods and Buddha statues are very efficacious."
Shrine temple?
Chen Mo looked thoughtful.
He asked again: "It's my first time to come to Ukyo, and I don't know much about the environment here. Where can I find detailed travel guide information?"
The waitress who received the tip was very patient with Chen Mo.
"If you have experience using computers, you can go to an Internet cafe to inquire. If you have no relevant experience, you can also hire a personal tour guide at a travel agency to inquire."
Internet access?
Chen Mo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He recalled his life in the Evernight City of Ancient Xuan Kingdom. Compared with this place, it was at least fifty years behind in development.
A specific metaphor.
It's as if Chen Mo hadn't time traveled back in time. The difference between developed countries and poor African countries is that one side advocates clean energy driving, and the other side has Odebia riding a bicycle and pulling bananas.
"Thanks."
After leaving this street restaurant, Chen Mo put away the sandwich with a hat trick. After wandering and staring at the crowded street for a while, he came to a so-called Internet coffee shop and rented a billing computer.
After turning on the computer.
Chen Mo discovered that if he wanted to access the Internet, he still needed to dial up and sign an agreement.
So Chen Mo, a time traveler, was successfully looked down upon by his boss. Under his guidance, he finally completed the preliminary work.
Chen Mo started searching on the Internet.
He tried typing in Kuchikisai on the search engine and quickly got the relevant information.
Kuchikisai: The 42nd generation abbot of the Shinto Temple. He has served as the abbot of the Shinto Temple for 65 years. He is highly respected by believers at home and abroad. He once represented the local cultural goodwill ambassador of Hokkaido and visited...
The monks in Beihai Kingdom are different from the monks that Chen Mo understands.
here.
Except for a very small number of so-called priests, the vast majority of monks are more like a job. They need to abide by the precepts and rules during work. After get off work, they can eat meat and vegetables, get married and have children, just like ordinary people.
As for the origin of the Divine Attendant, it involves some local ghost and god culture in Beihai Kingdom.
The typical representative is Onmyoji.
The Beihai Kingdom was deeply influenced by the culture of the Eastern Continent. After combining the local ghost and god culture, it formed a unique monk culture. The Shenjin Temple is one of the representatives. It was regarded as the state religion by the Beihai Kingdom and was worshiped with constant incense.
It has been passed down for thousands of years.
In recent years.
Beihai Kingdom was located at the intersection of the cultures of the Eastern and Western Continents, and was influenced by the culture of the Western Continent. It began active reforms, and even the shrine temple was developed into a tourist attraction.
This way.
A profession that combines martial arts masters and superpowers has quietly emerged in Beihai Country, and is called a fighter by the people of Beihai Country.
"It seems that it is indeed necessary to pay a visit."
It's still early.
Chen Mo entered the words "Ukyo's superpower" into the search engine again.
The "Ukyo Superpowers" Association is located at No. 344 Sakura Street. If you have any questions, please call the association in time. The contact number is 082-6773822.
Unable to help but roll his eyes, Chen Mo quickly entered "Ukyo Fighter".
This time.
Chen Mo seems to have opened up a new world, and all kinds of news about fighters are endless.
While Chen Mo was browsing, he gradually learned about the power level of Ukyo in Beihai Province.
Overall.
The power of Beihai Kingdom is still in the hands of secular people, and the reason is the existence of shrines and temples.
The "superpowers" in Beihai Kingdom are divided into six factions, namely the Shinto Temple, Onmyoji, the Martial Arts Association, the Superpowers Association, major chaebol groups and private fighters.
Among these six partial superpowers, Shinkanji is the strongest.
The power of the Shrine Temple is not only due to its ancient inheritance and its own strength, but also is inextricably related to the political arena of Beihai Kingdom.
As for the Onmyoji, they are private forces and most of them travel alone and their whereabouts are unpredictable.
This is a profession derived from the folk ghost and god culture in the ancient period of Beihai Kingdom before it was influenced by the culture of the Eastern Continent. Some legendary figures were also born. However, in recent years, with the impact of the culture of the Eastern and Western Continent, there have been gradually
