Chapter 150
Over two thousand!
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were slightly condensed. Xie pity glanced at Huacheng and said: "It seems that the west side is really right."
The skeleton head's teeth trembled and said: "Alas! It's all wrong to choose which side, there is no way to go!"
Indeed, for ordinary little devils like them, whichever one chooses is a disaster. No matter the east or the west, they can easily crush them; no matter which way they go, they will end up in ashes as nutrients. After a few dry howls, the ghost fire in the skull's eyes gradually went out.
Xie Lian put it gently on the side of the road and said, "Sanlang, do you know what's on the east side?"
Huacheng Road: "I can't be sure for the time being, but it is coming here. Under the current situation, it is not recommended to fight head-on. The west side is a little easier to deal with."
Xie Lian nodded and said: "Okay. Then we will continue westward."
A group of people passed through the corpses on the ground and hurried forward. After walking all night, didn't meet the black-clothed man mentioned by the skull, nor did see the trace of the rain master, Xie Lian couldn't help but worry.
Along the way, there are more and more houses and buildings on both sides of the road, and they are already in groups. It can even be recognized that this is the dwelling of poor people, this is a theater for leisure and play, this is a shop for buying and selling groceries, this is a rich family. The courtyard... The road they walked on was also a road that had been artificially repaired, and the pattern of paving tiles could still be vaguely seen. It looked like a wealthy town, but it was deserted and desolate.
I saw an ancient well on the side of the road, and when drew water, the water was still clear, so everyone rested here for a while. Xie Lian and Pei Su drank a little water, washed their faces by the way, looked up, and saw Ban Yue coming over.
Banyue has been holding the black pottery pot, waiting for a long time, and said, "General Hua, Brother Pei Su, let's eat something."
Pei Su said: "Okay. Thank you for your hard work."
Thanks also said: "Everyone has worked hard, let's try it."
So everyone gathered around. However, the moment Ban Yue opened the jar, many people's expressions froze.
Although the "smell" is colorless and invisible, when Ban Yue opened the lid of the jar, it seemed that there was some mysterious substance that distorted the air at the mouth of the jar.
Everyone stared at the scene in the jar for a long time, and a boundless darkness was reflected in everyone's pupils, as if it could pull people into the abyss, and no words could express the emotion contained in those eyes. After a long while, Xie Lian patted Ban Yue's shoulder and gave a thumbs up: "Not bad. The first time, it's ok."
Pei Ming looked at them in disbelief, and said, "It's her first time, and it's also your first time, Your Highness? If I remember correctly, you asked her to follow what you taught, and you did more than she did. .I just said why I always feel that what you are doing is not right, it is not my illusion."
Huacheng said: "Really? Since it was made by my brother, then I really want to try it."
Hearing this, Pei Ming and Pei Suqi raised their eyes to look at him, their eyes mixed with various emotions such as amazement, horror, admiration and so on. Huacheng Road: "Brother, what is this called?"
Xie Lian coughed lightly and said: "...'Dianluan Phoenix'."
Huacheng sincerely said: "Good name."
After he finished speaking, he put his hand into the bottomless jar. Pei Ming and Pei Su looked as if they were worried that he was about to be swallowed by the jar. And Huacheng calmly took out a small scorched corpse-like thing, and calmly sent it into the mouth.
Pei Ming said: "How."
Huacheng Road: "The taste is as its name suggests."
Pei Ming said to Pei Su who looked complicated: "I do it for you. You can do it."
Pei Su: "..."
He took the jar from Ban Yue and put a hand in it with a blank expression.
Xie Lian wiped his face with cold water, straightened his hair, turned around, stopped looking at them, looked around, and asked, "Why are there so many traces of people in this isolated place? Can there still be people living in Tonglu Mountain?"
He asked this question yesterday, but no one could answer him at the time. There is now. Huacheng Road: "Yes, but it was a long time ago. Tonglu Mountain is as wide as seven cities and occupies a huge area. It used to be an ancient country. These houses are all town relics of that ancient country. The closer to the center of the 'Bronze Furnace' , there will be more and more relics and more and more prosperous."
Xie Lian said without questioning, "It turns out that it is."
At this moment, Pei Ming's voice came from behind him: "What are you doing, Xiao Pei? The man has gold under his knees, stand up for me!"
Xie Lian did not look back and said: "What is the name of this ancient country, does Saburo know?"
Huacheng did not look back, and said with a hand: "Wu Yongguo."
Pei Ming scolded: "His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness, do you have any antidote? You can't kill or bury it. And you, how do you cook for him? What's the matter with your snake, you have been cooking for so long. Can you still move? Become a sperm?!”
Banyue seems to be constantly kowtowing and apologizing, saying: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, it's really fine, I don't know how long it takes to cook it... I'm sorry..."
Xie Lian held his cheek in one hand, thought for a while, and said: "I am ignorant, and it seems that I have never heard the name of this country. How ancient is it?"
However, he just finished speaking, but he is not sure. Wu Yong, Wu Yong. It sounds unfamiliar at first. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that someone has heard it a long, long time ago.
Huacheng Road: "The specifics are not clear, but it must be older than the Xianle Kingdom. At least two thousand years."
Xie Lian looked around and said: "But looking at these buildings, it doesn't seem like they have gone through a thousand years."
Huacheng Road: "That's natural, because most of the time, Tonglu Mountain is not open to the outside world. It's like being enclosed in a huge mausoleum, isolated from the outside world, and naturally well preserved."
Xie pity bowed his head and fell into contemplation. Over there, Pei Ming finally left Pei Su and came over, saying: "Your Excellency the Ghost King really knows everything. However, your information is too mysterious, can you ask where the source is? Pei has never heard of it. After a while, it spreads out."
Huacheng didn't look at him and said: "Dare to ask General Pei, what kind of person can collect this kind of information in Tonglu Mountain?"
Pei Ming said: "Theoretically, as long as it is a ghost, it will do. But since the rules of Tonglu Mountain will make thousands of ghosts fight, if you want to collect so much valuable information, you have to stay for a long time, so it must be very long. powerful."
Huacheng Road: "After collecting this information, what kind of person can come out of Tonglu Mountain?"
Pei Ming said: "There must be only a desperate ghost king like Your Excellency."
Huacheng Road: "So, these information are collected by myself. As long as I don't say it out, naturally there will be no rumors."
He finally turned his head and said slightly teasingly: "Keeping a secret may be more difficult for the priests in the heavenly court than overcoming the calamity; for me, it is not."
"..."
That's right. If there is information of a similar level that is known by a priest who goes to heaven, within an hour, you will hear everyone talking about it excitedly in every psychic circle. With such a heavy weight of information, Huacheng can actually hold it back for so many years, not selling it to others, nor saying it to show off, it is really calm. Pei Ming said: "Understood. It seems that for His Royal Highness, the Huacheng Lord not only knows everything, but also knows everything and has everything to say."
Xie Lian suddenly said: "No."
Everyone turned their heads and said, "What's wrong?"
Xie Lian has been thinking hard, and at this time, he finally made a fist with his right hand and smashed it lightly in the palm of his left hand, saying: "I just said, it seems that I have never heard the name of 'Wu Yongguo', this sentence is wrong. I've heard this name before!"
Huacheng looked slightly condensed and said: "Where did my brother hear?"
Xie Lian turned his head and said, "When I was young, I practiced Taoism in the Royal Dojo of the Xianle Kingdom, Huang Jiguan.
In fact, it is not a story. Rather, it has instilled a certain tall and glorious legendary image into Xie Lian. Once upon a time, there was an ancient country, and there was a prince. amazing characters. He loves his people, and his people love him. People did not forget him until he died a long time ago.
The teacher's words are sincere, kind and kind to Xie Lian: "My child, I hope you can become that kind of person."
Xie Lian, who was still young at the time, sat upright and said without thinking, "I don't want to be that kind of person. I want to be a god."
"..."
Thanks for the pity: "If the prince you said is really so unparalleled in the world, why didn't he become a god?"
"..."
Xie pity continued: "If people really haven't forgotten him, why have I never heard anyone mention this prince?"
"…………"
Xie pity swears that when he asks these questions, he does not have the slightest provocation and rebellious heart. He is really curious and asks for advice. But the expression of the national teacher after hearing this is still very exciting.
Why can Xie Lian memorize the Tao Te Ching backwards? Because, on this night, the national teacher asked him to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times, euphemistically, "self-cultivation and self-cultivation". Xie Lian was very suspicious, if it wasn't for the sake of his being the noble prince, the national teacher would have let him kneel on the nail board to copy.
In short, since then, every word of the Tao Te Ching has been deeply imprinted in Xie Lian's mind. By the way, I also left a little impression of this "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuyong".
Xie Lian usually loves to read, and he has never seen the relevant records of "Wu Yongguo" in ancient books, so he thinks that most of them are made up by the national teacher and want to educate him, or the national teacher card has played too many misunderstandings. But he felt that there was no need to dismantle it, and he didn't want to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times, so he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't take it to heart.
Pei Ming said: "His Royal Highness, it sounds like you, the national teacher Xianle, has a lot of background and knows a lot? Can you ask him what happened later?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lian said: "I don't know. After Xianle Kingdom broke, what happened to many people later, I have never seen them again."
At this moment, he suddenly felt his ankle tighten, his expression stern, and said, "What!"
Just as he was about to step down and break his bones, he looked down, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Little General Pei, why are you playing in such a way? It's so dangerous, so dangerous, I almost lost your hand."
That hand was Pei Su's. He was lying on the ground, his face buried in the soil, with one hand grabbing Pei Ming and the other grabbing Xie Lian. The two squatted down and said, "What do you want to say?"
Banyue held the jar and said, "I don't know, just now, brother Pei Su has been crawling around on the ground, as if he found something very important."
Pei Ming said: "Oh? This can also be found? It is indeed Xiao Pei. So what did you find?"
Pei Su let go of the hand that was holding him and pointed to the side. Xie Lian followed his guidance and said, "This is..."
Everyone gathered around, studied for a while, and said, "Cow's hoof prints?"
Pei Su's face finally lifted from the soil, and he said hoarsely: "This is... Yu Shida, the guardian of the human being, the mark left by the ride, mark."
Banyue said: "Brother Pei Su, your sentence seems to be wrong."
Pei Su said: "I have nothing to do. Master Yu, people, people..."
He was stuck in "people" and couldn't move on. Xie Lian doubted: "This... Could it be the scorpion-tailed snake venom?"
Banyue said: "The poison of the scorpion snake is not like this..."
Huacheng Road: "The rain master has met the black man in the west, and has played a game."
