Chapter 43, Haizhu Village

Lin Luxian and the others walked in the canyon hungry for nearly three hours, and the road ahead began to rise slowly, showing an uphill shape. Lan Bingyun flew up and observed for a while, and said, "Everyone, if you add more fuel, the road ahead can rise to the ground all the way." By the time we're done a few hundred meters uphill, we'll be on the ground!"

When everyone climbed to the ground, they also completely walked out of the Grand Canyon. Except for Xiao, everyone was tired and out of breath. I saw that the ground was surrounded by dense forests, with birds singing and flowers, towering trees, and many streams, and a few miles in front of the woods, there were continuous mountains.

After drinking some water from the stream in the woods, Lin Luxian and the others continued to shuttle through the forest and climbed towards the mountains in front of them. There are a lot of hares and pheasants in the woods, and Lan Bingyun has just gotten the white peacock bow and hasn't practiced yet, so he hasn't shot a single game for a long time. Everyone searched in the forest for more than two hours, but they didn't find any wild fruit. There are many plants in the forest, and there are also plants that look like green vegetables, but everyone is afraid to eat them for fear of being poisonous.

Gradually, everyone wandered to the foot of the mountain in front of them hungry.

"No, let's rest and hurry again, I'm tired and hungry, I really can't walk!" Dian Waterfall lay on the grass at the foot of the mountain, refusing to get up. The rest also sat down on the ground and rested.

"The old man is not afraid of old age~ Find the mountains to collect medicine~ The scenery in the forest is endless~ Carefree and happy!" An old man's singing voice came from afar, and Lin Luxian and several people immediately stood up after hearing this singing. Lin Luxian said excitedly, "There are people here!

I saw an old man in the distance who was not far ahead! He was wearing ancient linen clothes and carrying a bamboo basket for collecting medicine on his back, and he was walking in the direction of Lin Luxian and them! Seeing the living people, Lin Luxian and the others were both excited and excited, and several of them immediately came to the spirit, and ran towards the old man not far in front of them one after another!

And the old man saw a few people suddenly rushing out of the forest in front of him, all of them holding weapons! The old man was suddenly frightened, and thought to himself, "It's not good! I didn't expect to attract the mountain bandits when I sang just now!" Then, the old man quickly turned around and ran away!

Seeing that the old man was about to slip away, Lin Luxian and the others were in hot pursuit, and shouted "Uncle, don't run!" "Uncle, slow down! Don't fall!" "Yes, uncle, we are not bad people!" "Uncle, wait for us!"

After all, the old man was very old, and he didn't run long before he was tired, he sat on the ground, clutched his chest and gasped for breath. And Lin Luxian and the others also caught up with him and surrounded him, for fear that he would run away.

"Run, you run again!, age, run so fast at such an age, will we eat you?" Dian Pu gasped

"You, don't talk nonsense, plant, plant in your hands, I admit it, old man! Yes, if you want money, there is one!" The old man clenched the firewood knife on his waist and said nervously to Lin Luxian

"Uncle, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we have traveled through the time and space tunnel, we are just hungry and want to order something to eat from you, that's all!" Lan Bingyun squatted down and whispered to the old man. Then he lifted the old man up from the ground.

The old man carefully looked at Lin Luxian and the others, and saw that a few young people did not look like mountain bandits who robbed houses, he dispelled the worries in his heart, and then said, "There is really nothing to eat in this forest, so let's see that you young people are also kind-hearted, so I will take you to my house! ”

Hearing what the old man said, Lin Luxian and the others hurriedly thanked him, and then followed the old man all the way. On the way, everyone learned that the old man's surname was Cai, and over the mountain range in front of him, it was Haizhu Village where he lived. Uncle Cai is 61 years old, and his two sons both joined the army and died on the battlefield a few years ago, while their two daughters-in-law also remarried. He is now dependent on his wife Aunt Cai. Uncle Cai sometimes crossed the mountains to collect medicine, but he didn't want to meet Lin Luxian and them today.

And Uncle Cai also listened to Lin Luxian's origin and knew that they wanted to find a person named Yun Tianhyun. But for Yun Tianhyun, Uncle Cai said that he didn't know. But for the Grand Canyon behind him, Uncle Cai still knows a little about it. Uncle Cai told Lin Luxian, "This Grand Canyon existed hundreds of years ago, before their Haizhu Village was established. Uncle Cai also heard from his deceased elders that there are many man-eating monsters in the Grand Canyon, but there are also many treasures! It is said that hundreds of years ago, the Protoss and the Demon Race fought a fierce battle in this canyon. In the battle, a lot of magic weapons were left behind. Therefore, over the years, many people have gone to this Grand Canyon to find the magic weapons inside, but they have never returned! Now no one should dare to enter this Grand Canyon anymore. I can't imagine that a few of you actually walked out of the Grand Canyon alive... You must not be ordinary people!"

In order not to cause a second fright to this old man, Zhu Xinyan had no choice but to lie and say, "Where, where! We are ordinary people, but we know a little bit of kung fu, plus we are lucky!"

"Uncle, have you ever heard of this place in Lanhai?" Ao Yi asked Uncle Cai eagerly

"I really don't know this old man, I grew up in Haizhu Village since I was a child, and the farthest place I have ever been to is Dongyun City, which is a few miles away from the village. ”

"Oh, is this Winter Cloud City big, are there many people in it?" Lin Luxian asked Uncle Cai

"This Winter Cloud City is much bigger than our Haizhu Village! There are also a lot of people in it, it is very prosperous, and the people in it are much richer than the villagers of our Haizhu Village!"

"Then do you know what year it is?" Xiao also asked Lin Luxian

"It's the thirteenth year of Hongye, what's wrong? ”

Xiao pondered in his heart for a while, and then said, "The thirteenth year of Hongye is more than four hundred and thirty years from the modern year of 2023, that is to say, we have returned to more than four hundred years ago! ”

"No!" the other five exclaimed in unison, their jaws were about to drop! If they really went back to more than four hundred years ago, regardless of whether the difficulty of finding Yun Tianhyun had changed, even if they found Yun Tianhyun, how would they go back? Even if they were lucky enough to encounter the space-time tunnel again somewhere in the future, they might not be able to go back to 2023!

Seeing that everyone was extremely anxious, and they were all thinking about it all the way, Uncle Cai said, "I don't understand the modern times you are talking about, and I don't know if you can go back to your original era." But I know that you have to eat first, and only when you are full can you think about more problems. ”

As Uncle Cai climbed the mountain range, Lin Luxian's vision suddenly brightened. Standing on the mountain range, you can see Haizhu Village at the foot of the mountain, and you can also see the magnificent Winter Cloud City in the distance, as well as the endless woods in the distance, and the mountains close to the sky.

Coming down from the mountains, after Uncle Cai entered Haizhu Village, Lin Luxian and the others found that there were hundreds of households in Haizhu Village, and a large area of vegetables and rice was planted outside the village, and many village names were bent over and busy in the field. There is also a large bamboo forest not far from Haizhu Village, and the continuous bamboo sea is not far from the edge, which should be the origin of the name Haizhu Village. At the entrance of the village, there is also a small river flowing slowly, which shows that this Haizhu Village is really a good place by the mountains and rivers.

After walking across the bamboo bridge and walking in the village for a long time, I arrived at Uncle Cai's house. Uncle Cai's house was built of earth and stones, and the top was covered with tiles and thatch. And there is a yard in front of the house, where some clothes, vegetables and preserved fish are dried. At this moment, Aunt Cai is washing vegetables in the yard and preparing to cook.

Uncle Cai shouted to Aunt Cai, "Old woman, there are guests at home, wash a few more bowls of rice!"

Aunt Cai turned around and saw Uncle Cai taking Lin Luxian and his party into the courtyard, and hurriedly came over to greet them, "Ouch! It's really rare for us to have guests in our house! You all sit in the house, I'll prepare dinner for you!" With that, Aunt Cai took off the two preserved fish hanging on the rope to dry and took them into the kitchen.

About half an hour later, Uncle Cai moved a large garden table out of the house, and Dian Waterfall hurriedly stepped forward to help. Not long after the round table was placed, Aunt Cai put a few dishes on the round table, including the two steamed and chopped preserved fish. Seeing that the food was available, Lin Luxian, who was already hungry and dizzy, was not polite, swallowed the food, and admired Aunt Cai's cooking skills.

Looking at the few people who were gobbling up, Aunt Cai brought a few bowls of water to a few of them, and said distressedly, "You children, are you all hungry! Don't worry, eat slowly, don't choke, the food is enough! Huh? This guy in blue, why don't you eat? Is the food unappetizing?"

Hearing Aunt Cai say this, Xiao had no choice but to make a show, burying his head in the bowl of rice, he didn't dare to tell the two elders his identity as a member of the underworld, for fear of scaring the two of them.

Uncle Cai told Lin Luxian that since his two sons died on the battlefield, the family has never been so lively in recent years. He proposed that Lin Luxian and the others should live here, and he could clear out the rooms of his two sons for Lin Luxian and the others to live, and accompany them as companions by the way. But Lin Luxian and the others politely refused, they wanted to go to the more populous Winter Cloud City, maybe someone in Winter Cloud City knew Yun Tianhyun's whereabouts, and even had a way to let them return to the modern era! Although this possibility is not too great.

Seeing that Lin Luxian and the others insisted on leaving, Uncle Cai was reluctant to say, "Hey, okay, you have to be careful on the road." If you really don't have a place to go, I'll leave these two rooms for you. ”

After thanking Uncle Cai and his wife, Lin Luxian suddenly thought of the mobile phone in his pocket, he took out the mobile phone, and while the mobile phone still had a trace of power, he proposed that everyone take a photo with Uncle Cai and his wife. Lin Luxian put his mobile phone on a wooden stake, set up automatic photography, and hurriedly ran to the seven people to pose. After the mobile phone took a photo, Lin Luxian took the mobile phone in his hand to observe the group photo he had just taken, and saw that the eight people were all in the photo, Lin Luxian nodded with satisfaction, and then turned off the mobile phone.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Cai and his wife, Lin Luxian and the others rushed to Dongyun City in the dark, and after walking more than five miles, they finally came to the southern gate of Dongyun City. The south gate was closed at this time, and people who were not important people could not enter and exit casually. On either side of the southern city gate, there were eight soldiers wearing armor and holding spears.

"What should we do, the city gate is closed, we're late!" Ao Yi said, looking at the ten-meter-high city wall

"Then I'll fly in and have a look. After Lan Bingyun finished speaking, he wanted to fly, but was dragged by Lin Luxian.

Lin Luxian looked at the row of archers on the city wall and said, "Bingyun, don't be impulsive, have you seen the archers on the city wall?" It is said that the archers guarding the city wall are all masters of a hundred steps!"

"So what are we going to do... Do you want to sleep outside until the city gates open the next morning?" asked Ao Yi

"Hey, I knew that I shouldn't have been in a hurry just now, I should have stayed at Uncle Cai's house for the night. Lin Luxian regretted it

"There's no way, I can only sleep outside the city wall tonight... Zhu Xinyan said

It was early autumn now, and the cool breeze at night was blowing in gusts, and Lin Luxian and the others had goosebumps. They had to sleep next to each other as much as possible.

At five o'clock the next morning, the gates opened. Seeing that Lin Luxian and the five of them were still asleep, they went to the city first, planning to go shopping first. Lin Luxian and the five of them may not have slept well recently, so they are all sleeping relatively dead now.

Slowly, the morning glow began to appear in the sky in the distance, and the sun was about to rise. A bustling crowd began to appear outside the city gates. Lin Luxian and the five of them were woken up by the shouts of the vegetable sellers next to them, and they all woke up from the ground one after another. A few of them found that some well-wishers had covered them with rotten bamboo mats and pieces of cloth, and at their feet there was a broken bowl with a missing mouth, and there were five copper coins in the bowl! Not far away, two aunts selling vegetables were pointing at them, and they said, "Hey, these children are so pitiful! At first glance, they are homeless people! As soon as I arrived here in the morning with the vegetables, I saw a few of them sleeping here, and they must have slept all night!" Another woman selling vegetables also said. It's just that these people must have wandered all the way, and I haven't seen them for a few miles yesterday!"

Dianpu sat up from the ground, lifted the rags on his body and threw them aside, then picked up the broken bowl at his feet, and looked at the copper coins inside in a daze. At this time, Xiao also walked out of the city, and saw the waterfall holding a broken bowl in a daze, and then looked at Lin Luxian who was sitting next to the waterfall with a questioning face, he couldn't help but want to laugh, he couldn't help but laugh, and stepped forward and said, "I just walked around the city for a while, why did you come out and you became a food?"

Dian Pu grabbed the five copper coins in the bowl in his hand, and then looked at the sympathetic eyes of the passers-by around him, he suddenly realized, "This, what do these passers-by think of us! Are you called Hanako?" Then Dian Pu stood up, held the copper coin in his hand and threw it forward, but Zhu Xinyan shouted, "Don't throw it! We have no money! This money is just enough to buy breakfast!" Hearing Zhu Xinyan's reminder, Dian Pu thought about it, and hurriedly picked up the money that had just been thrown on the ground.

Entering the Winter Cloud City, I saw that the city was really prosperous. There are many courtyards of buildings, and brick-paved streets crisscross and extend in all directions. The streets were crowded with people, all kinds of vendors shouted along the streets, shouting and shouting all over the streets and alleys, and from time to time powerful carriages passed by the crowd.

Lin Luxian and the others looked around in a novel way, looking at it as they walked. It didn't take long for them to be attracted by the smell of the steamed bun shop in front of them! They came to the steamed bun shop and asked for the price, and their only five copper coins were just enough to buy five vegetable steamed buns! In this way, several of them bought steamed buns and spent the only five copper coins.

After breakfast, Lin Luxian and the others began to look for people on the street to ask for news about Yun Tianhyun and Lan Hai, but they found hundreds of people in a row, but they couldn't ask for any news about Yun Tianhyun and Lan Hai.

At a fortune teller's place, Lin Luxian and the others saw a map, and the fortune teller said that this was the whole picture of the Liaozhou continent at that time.

Lin Luxian and the others took the map in their hands and watched. Compared to the map of the time and the shape of the land on the modern map, it is like two worlds. On the map in my hand, not only are many geographical locations different from modern ones, but even most of the place names have never been heard! There are still many places that have not been marked, and in the map, the part of the sea other than the land, there is no word "Lanhai".

Ao Yi's eyes widened even more, and she searched for a long time, but she couldn't find the location of Lanhai! She scratched the back of her head and asked, "This, this map is really drawn on the Liaozhou Continent? Is it a mistake? ”

"That's right, this map is indeed the Liaozhou continent, but the people at that time did not fully explore the Liaozhou continent, they only explored a part of the Liaozhou continent, and there are many places, many islands, and many sea areas have not been discovered! Therefore, this map is very different from modern maps. And most of the place names at that time were different from modern names, so it's hard to determine where we are in the modern era. ”

"In other words, it's hard to find this place in the sea now... Ao Yi asked Xiao, and Xiao nodded helplessly

"Xiao, can't you summon your spies from the underworld? "For the search for Lanhai, Ao Yi still does not give up

Xiao shook his head and said, "I also said last time, the Realm Underworld Technique can only be used once in a lifetime, and I used it last time in the no-man's land of Xingyi, weren't you there at the time... Besides, the spies of the underworld will not take the initiative to come to me, so I really can't help the matter of looking for the sea... ”

Zhu Xinyan also comforted Ao Yi, "Sister Ao Yi, don't worry, we will help you find Langhai, no matter how hard it is." ”

Ao Yi lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "Hey, still, forget it... It has already happened, it is a foregone conclusion, how can I change it? This is my fate, and even the Protoss cannot change this thing ... ”

Lin Luxian and the others then asked hundreds of more people in the city, but the answers they got were almost the same: "Yun Tianxian, I haven't heard of this person." What kind of sea is Lanhai? Is there such a place?"
