Chapter Seventy-Seven: Speculation
"What?"
After listening to Mu Yao's words, Chen Yan was suddenly a little dumbfounded, but then he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
According to the historical classics he read when he was a child, the world here was indeed ruled by various kingdoms thousands of years ago, but later, as if it was some kind of coincidence, the four regions appeared at about the same time, and they ended the rule of each kingdom by forceful means in their own territory, thus allowing the whole world to enter the era of the rule of the four regions, and even the frequent wars in the past have been eliminated.
So now listening to Mu Yao's words, the existence of King Ning Chun and Ning Du seems to be extremely unreasonable, Chen Yan thought about it, and he suddenly felt a little hairy behind him, a little terrifying.
When Mu Yao saw Chen Yan's expression, she knew that he already had a little impression of this matter, so she continued to say in a deep voice: "Come to think of it, the current world is ruled by four domain lords, and below the domain lords are the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of each city lord, so now there is Ning Guo and Ning Chun King, which is a very abnormal thing. ”
"Goo. ”
Although he had already thought of these things in his heart, after listening to Mu Yao say it now, Chen Yan still swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and there was a feeling of hair all over his body.
"And Ah Yan, do you know where Ning Guo is?"
Looking at Chen Yan's slightly flustered expression, Mu Yao continued to look at him and asked.
"Where?"
Chen Yan has now lost the ability to think a little, and after listening to Mu Yao's question, he subconsciously asked a rhetorical question.
Seeing that Chen Yan asked himself in turn, Mu Yao looked at him and said: "Ah Yan, you are from the Canglong Domain, it is normal not to know the history of the Vermilion Bird Domain, according to the historical classics, the Ning Kingdom in ancient times was located in the extreme south of the Vermilion Bird Domain, and I have been looking around in the past few days, and the place where we are is is indeed at the southernmost point of the Vermilion Bird Domain, and the stone tablet that led us to come here is located on the border of the three northern cities of the Vermilion Bird Domain, Ah Yan, you should know what this means." ”
Hearing Mu Yao ask himself again, Chen Yan didn't know what expression to make, so he had to laugh dryly and replied: "Hehe, we have almost spanned the entire Vermilion Bird Domain, from the northernmost part of the Vermilion Bird Domain directly to the southernmost side." ”
"That's right. ”
After hearing Chen Yan's answer, Mu Yao nodded in a deep voice, and then she continued: "You must know how vast the Vermilion Bird Domain is, if you want to reach the southernmost place from the northernmost side, even if you are driving a BMW that travels thousands of miles a day, it will take more than a year or nearly two years, and now we have come here directly from the border of the three northern cities as soon as we open our eyes, which is really unacceptable." ”
After finishing speaking, Mu Yao subconsciously grabbed Chen Yan's arm, and then looked at the pot of phoenix tail bamboo placed in the middle of the table and pondered.
And after Chen Yan's voice fell, he came back to his senses after a while, so he couldn't help but look at Mu Yao and asked, "Then Xiaoyao, do you know what kind of situation we are in now?"
Chen Yan and Mu Yao have known each other for more than a month, and after these days of getting along, he also knows that his brain is not as good as Xiao Yao's, so now that he encounters this situation, he can only let Xiao Yao find a way.
"I'm not so sure. ”
Seeing Chen Yan ask, Mu Yao shook his head and said, "We are not only in time to the scene of thousands of years ago, but also almost across the entire Vermilion Bird Domain in terms of geography, this situation is unheard of by me, and it is really impossible to judge." ”
When Chen Yan saw Mu Yao say this, he couldn't help but guess with a wry smile: "Then we won't have traveled through time." ”
Hearing Chen Yan's speculation, Mu Yao also smiled bitterly: "I also had such an idea, guessing that we may have crossed the long river of time, but this situation is too unbelievable, so ...... , alas!"
Mu Yao stopped abruptly halfway through his words, and then sighed.
But there is no need for Mu Yao to continue, Chen Yan also knows what she wants to express, because the thing of traveling through time and space is too unacceptable.
After being silent for a long time, Chen Yan looked at Mu Yao and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
"It stands to reason that the bell must be tied to the bell, and the same is true for this matter, we came here through that stone tablet, so if you want to leave, you should also go to find that stone tablet, but ......"
Speaking of this, Mu Yao's words suddenly stopped.
Seeing that Mu Yao didn't continue, Chen Yan asked a little eagerly, "But what is it?"
"Ah Yan, have you ever thought that we are now at the southernmost tip of the Vermilion Bird Domain, and it will take at least more than a year to return to the stone tablet, and we don't have a thousand miles of good horses now, so it will take even more time. ”
"And the most important thing is that we don't know when the stone tablet was erected there, in case we waste a lot of effort to get to the place where the stone tablet is, but the sword demon Situ Sheng did not go there to erect the stone tablet, what should we do at that time. ”
Seeing that Chen Yan asked, Mu Yao said the question he thought of.
"Uh. ”
After hearing Mu Yao's explanation, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this problem, and now when he heard Xiao Yao say this, it seems that this is indeed the case.
If he and Xiao Yao had traveled to the border of the three northern cities, but found that there was no stone tablet there, he would probably have collapsed.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but look at Mu Yao again: "Since we can't go to the stone tablet, is there any other way?"
To be honest, Chen Yan feels quite useless now, falling into such a very strange situation, he has no way at all, and when it comes to the end, he still has to rely on Xiao Yao to find a way, which is really a bit of a wastewood.
Looking at Chen Yan's slightly expectant eyes, Mu Yao also smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I can't do anything, but since we are now in the Ning Kingdom a thousand years ago, then we may be able to start from this aspect." ”
"Well, how do you get started?"
Hearing Mu Yao say this, Chen Yan felt a little dazed, and he didn't know what Xiao Yao was thinking.
"Since ......"
"Knock, knock"
After hearing Chen Yan's inquiry, Mu Yao was just about to explain to him, but at this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
was about to hear what Xiao Yao's plan was, but the knock on the door suddenly interrupted Xiao Yao's words, which made Chen Yan suddenly burst into flames.
Outside the door, the shopkeeper brought the food to the door of the bamboo guest house, but when he knocked on the door, he suddenly heard an angry voice from inside, which immediately made the shopkeeper stunned.
After about a breath, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, and then he asked in a tentative tone towards the door, "Honorable guest, your meal is ready, do you want to bring it in now?"
After hearing the sound from outside the door, Chen Yan was suddenly embarrassed, patronizing and listening to Xiao Yao talk about the strange things here, he almost forgot that he had ordered food.
"Poof. ”
The voice of Xiao Er in the shop outside the door also pulled Mu Yao back from the discussion just now, and after she saw Chen Yan's slightly embarrassed expression, Mu Yao couldn't help laughing.
"Wait a minute. ”
Seeing Xiao Yao laughing at himself, Chen Yan was even more embarrassed, so he subconsciously smiled and scratched the back of his head, and then walked to the door.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Yan stretched out his hand and pulled the door open, and then said, "Come in." ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Yan turned around and walked back, and then sat down in his seat.
"Distinguished guest, this is the bamboo leaf tea you ordered. ”
After the shopkeeper who followed Chen Yan came to the table, he lifted the teapot from another junior behind him, and then put the emerald green teapot and two teacups between Chen Yan and Mu Yao.
Looking at the teapot and teacup in front of him, Chen Yan suddenly felt a little surprised, only to see that the teapot and teacup seemed to be made of jadeite, and the whole body was emerald green.
The teapot stands on the table made of yellow bamboo, like a bamboo shoot breaking out of the ground, giving people a different feeling, and the two teacups are also carved into a small bamboo tube, which looks quite vibrant.
The bamboo shoot-shaped teapot and bamboo tube-shaped teacup not only fit in with the bamboo guest house, but also complement the bamboo leaf tea, which is really extraordinary.
"It's the meal you ordered. ”
While Chen Yan was observing the teapot and teacup, the shopkeeper put a few meals ordered by Chen Yan on the table.
"Do you have any other commands?"
After setting up the meal, the shopkeeper turned his attention to Chen Yan and Mu Yao.
Seeing that all the meals were arranged, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "No, you guys go out." ”
"Then you can call us at any time if you need it. ”
Seeing that Chen Yan didn't seem to want anyone to stay here, the shopkeeper smiled and bowed slightly to say a word, and then walked out of the door with the others.
After seeing the shopkeeper close the door and go out, Chen Yan lifted the bamboo shoot-shaped teapot and poured two cups of bamboo leaf tea, then handed one of them to Mu Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, you go on, how should we start?"
After taking the teacup, Mu Yao smiled and took a sip of bamboo leaf tea, and then continued to speak: "Since we are now in the scene of thousands of years ago, everything that happened here should follow the historical trajectory. ”
"I'd rather believe that we're stuck in some kind of illusion than the possibility that we've traveled back in time, so I thought that if we change the course of history, then maybe we can find a way out. ”
