Huang Lao sighed again, and he said with a little sadness: "I think that at the beginning, Zhu Yuan's ancestor invented the tadpole seal script, and since then, historical civilization has finally gotten rid of word of mouth, and can be written down and passed on to future generations." It is said that when the ancestors created the tadpole seal book, the heavens and the earth were furious, and the storm lasted for several days before stopping. But today, not many people can really know this tadpole seal book. The tadpole seal book, which was originally used to record legends between heaven and earth, has become a legend by itself. ”

Lang first comforted him and said, "Senior, don't be too sad. It's been so many years since our Zhu Yuan Kingdom disappeared, and the clansmen are scattered across all continents, almost assimilated by other ethnic groups. It is only those original famous families who have the strength to continue the tradition to this day. ”

Yuan Ji said angrily: "All this is caused by the gang of miscellaneous people in the Genting Heavenly Palace, if Zhu Yuanguo is still here, why would my father and mother die of a minor illness! These are all decrees that can only be concocted by blood-sucking demons who eat people and don't spit out bones. They are not even as good as the Secret Clan. ”

Huang Lao patted Yuan Ji on the shoulder and comforted: "You have suffered! But fortunately, you have returned, and this is your home." Let's go now. ”

Lang Xian thought that the old man still wanted to take them to dig the Temple of the Covering Moon Valley, and hurriedly explained: "Senior Huang, it's not that the juniors are slacking off, it's just that it is a little difficult to dig the Covering Moon Valley now, and our grain and grass can barely last for two days, so our top priority is to replenish the grain and grass." ”

Huang Lao paused for the crutches in his hand, and said hatefully: "It's all said, this is your home." Can you still go hungry when you're all home? Come with me. ”

Yuan Ji and Lang Xian were overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered their men to pack up, march forward, and follow Huang Lao back to what he called "home".

As soon as the soldiers of the Spirit Helmet Army heard that there was food to eat, they were all full of energy, and it took half an hour to completely dismantle the camp of Nuoda. With Yuan Ji's order, the army officially started.

Along the way, Lang Xian had a sentence of Huang Lao's words, and said: "Senior, what happened to General Huang with more than 10,000 people back then?"

Huang Lao sat on a docile wind horse beast and replied leisurely: "Back then, the ancestor was ordered to lead the Yulin Army and his family to leave secretly and arrived at a mountain col not far from the Shade Moon Valley. There he made his home in secret. ”

Yuan Ji asked suspiciously, "But didn't the combined forces of the Immortal Clan and the Demon Clan have already searched the mountain, and how did you escape?"

Huang Lao said proudly: "They have indeed searched the mountains, but they have not searched the underground!"

As soon as these words came out, Lang Xian and Yuan Ji were shocked. Yuan Ji said in fear: "Underground, you live underground, are you a necromantic ghost, no! I don't go underground, I don't want to be a necromantic revenant!" After speaking, he wanted to turn his horse's head and run away.

Huang Lao hit him on the back with a crutch and scolded: "Why did the Yuan family come up with such a reckless man as you! Who said that living underground is a dead man?"

Lang Xian was calm, and asked with a hand: "I hope the old gentleman will teach you." ”

Huang Lao smoothed his breath and said: "When the first king ordered the valley to be filled, he actually left a hand. A number of vents were opened in the dome of the temple to connect it to the ground, and a tunnel was dug into the bottom of the temple that led to the col where we now live. When the allied troops came to search the mountain, my ancestors led everyone into the temple secretly, and before that, they had stored enough dry food and water for more than 10,000 people for five days, and after all the troops in the mountain were withdrawn, they walked out of the temple and lived in seclusion in the mountain pass. Now it has gone through too many years, and the former more than 10,000 people are now almost 30,000, just like a kingdom. ”

Yuan Ji asked, "30,000 people, can that mountain col accommodate so many people?"

Huang Lao rolled his eyes and replied, "Naturally, I won't all live in that mountain col. That col is now the center of Zhu Yuan's remnants, and the goods are gathered here and then transported by special caravans to the outside of the jungle to sell and buy back the necessities such as salt, iron, cloth, and silk that we need. We are divided into a hundred households and distributed in the depths of this great jungle. In this way, if someone comes in to search or encircle and suppress, it will also be convenient to transfer. ”

As he spoke, he had already passed through a large forest, and suddenly his eyes suddenly opened up, and an orderly town came into view. This group of people walked in the fertile fields, farmers and ploughing cattle were busy back and forth in the rice fields on both sides, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking faintly came in the distance, as if entering the fairyland of birds and flowers.

Huang Lao turned around and saw that the Spirit Helmet Army behind him had that envious look on his face, and he was immediately relieved.

Lang Xian exclaimed: "It is really a miracle to be able to transform this devil-like primeval jungle into a fertile field." It's just that with such a fanfare settlement, aren't you afraid that the eagle clan in the sky will see it?"

Huang Lao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "This is a remote location, usually those eagle clans who are responsible for patrolling will not run so far, even if they are really seen, it is nothing, over the years, there are more and more people who have escaped into this vast jungle because of evading taxes from various countries, and it is not surprising to see one or two villages." ”

Lang nodded first, and then he seemed to think of something again, and asked Huang Laodao: "So senior, there is a shortage of goods here, and it seems that just selling some local products can't meet your daily life!"

Huang Lao replied: "You're right, but I didn't say that we only sell local products! Wasn't the way to sell stones very good before, and we didn't stop it!"

Lang Xian asked in surprise, "What? Do the Moon Stones and Haoyue Stones still appear in the temple every year?"

Huang Lao nodded and replied, "That's right! It appears in the center of the main hall at a fixed time every year, sometimes more, sometimes less. If it weren't for these rare stones, we would have been trapped in this deep mountain and old forest. ”

Yuan Ji said: "Before, my eldest brother followed the Lanling Fairy in the Sun Worship Sect to learn the exercises of the Xuanhuang One Pulse for a while, and the fairy asked my eldest brother to take charge of the main altar at that time, and gave my eldest brother a mortal nine-rank Qi Bead. My brother was so happy that he came back to show me that these beads could be sold for as much as 100 gold on Zhengyang Street in Changshan City. That's five years of expenses for a modest family. ”

Huang Lao smiled mysteriously and said: "As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, we only sell a very small part of it every year, so that the most ordinary stones can be sold at a sky-high price." Every time, our caravan would make a detour to Xiqizhou, from Xiqizhou to Beilun Zhou, and finally to Zhongshenzhou to sell things. Until now, everyone still thinks that this stone was dug out of the mountains of Beilun Island by mountain people!"

Lang Xian pretended to ask in a deep voice: "Presumably, what messages about the origin of Yuehua Stone and Haoyue Stone were also released by you." ”

Yuan Ji was interested for a while, and he said excitedly: "That's right! There are also rumors that the Cangyue Bead in Zhuo Hua's hand is made of the Yuehua Stone on the Flying Star Outside the Sky! said that there are noses and eyes, it turns out that the Yuehua Stone and Haoyue Stone in the world are all produced by our Zhu Yuan. ”

Huang Lao said lightly: "The strange stones in the world are basically trafficked outside by the Zhu Yuan clan, but Zhuo Hua's Yuehua Stone is indeed obtained by themselves. Besides, the Xuanhuang clan used to be rich, and the Lanling Fairy and Zhuo Hua Yuanjun had brought some stones when they came here, but they would never sell them outside. ”

Lang first asked: "In other words, the rough stones on the market are all sold by our Zhu Yuanguo?"

Huang Lao said with a smile: "In the past, we used to sell the rough stone directly, whether it was the best or the ordinary. But later we found that an ordinary rough stone of ten gold, after the manual processing of the craftsman of Kitkat, the finished Dingqi beads can be sold for 100 gold. If it is a rough stone worth 100 gold, it can be sold for a thousand gold after being made into a fixed qi bead. That's ten times the profit!"

Yuan Ji accosted: "But it's not! Now as long as this bead appears on the market, it will be snatched up." The best beads are simply priceless. ”

Huang Lao smiled and said, "That's right, so we sent some of the brightest children of the clan to apprentice in the homes of the major KitKat craftsmen, and after decades, they also learned some crafts. Then he went back to the countryside and taught the craft to the children in the villages and towns. ”

Lang first clapped his hands and applauded: "In this way, our Zhu Yuan clan can not only affect the price of the rough stone, but also the price of the beads." ”

Yuan Ji suddenly realized: "No wonder the price of beads has become higher and higher in the past ten years, and there are still people who take thousands of gold to buy mortal goods that were originally only sold for 100 gold. It turns out that you guys are the devil!"

As soon as the words fell, I knew that I had said the wrong thing, and I couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

As they spoke, they had come to a wide square. Everyone saw that the square was already full of men and women who had come to wash their dust. The square is filled with a variety of fine food and wine.

Huang Lao walked to the center of the square with a smile, and shouted to the crowd in a small but very firm and powerful voice: "The old and young relics of the Zhu Yuan clan, our pearl of the sea is back. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into tears. After curling up in this wild place for many years, I finally waited for the opportunity to raise my eyebrows, and many complex feelings poured out together.

The spirit helmets on the opposite side are all elite people selected from various wang clans, and the family is strongly edified, although they have been away for so many years, they still have strong feelings for Zhu Yuan's homeland, and seeing the people of Zhu Yuan's homeland so emotional, they didn't hold back for a while, and they all shed tears.
