Chapter 623: The World in the Ruins

The sound of gurgling water is a small stream, and next to Long Zun is a big river, rushing water, and the water is turbulent.

Walking along the river, Long Zun looked confused.

Didn't you say that the ancient buildings were built along the river? Why did he walk for so long, and the water was water, oh, forgot, and a handful of grass by the river.

Could it be that the ruins are not old enough?

When you look at it from the outside of the barrier, the ruins inside are not only ruins, but also ancient and vicissitudes, and they look like they come from the distant past.

After searching for most of the day, and finding nothing on He Gan, Long Zun turned around and walked towards a road that led to a place he didn't know.

He mustered his speed, and soon came to a twenty-mile distance, and in no time to see a village.

Surprised, he covered his mouth with his hand, he was not prepared at all, he didn't expect that a village would appear in the ruins.

Looking at the smoke curling over the village, he was sure that someone must be living in the village.

Quickening his pace, he came to the village, and as soon as he entered, he saw a group of young men with spears walking in front of him.

There were about a dozen spearmen in the ranks, and one of the men in the procession, known as the captain of the team, shouted slogans and walked in a neat pace.

Long Zun had seen the armies and guards in many places, but none of them could compare to the neat queue of these people in front of him.

Even if he was a cultivator, standing at the front of the queue and looking at the queue coming head-on, he would have a shock and horror from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he understood that these people were ordinary people, they couldn't hurt him at all.

"Excuse me, where is this?" asked Long Zun to the team of this team.

"Stop!" The team stretched out one arm, and the whole team stopped neatly, one step no more, no more step, no less, standing in a neat row.

"You're not from the county seat?" the team was looking Long Zun up and down before asking.

Long Zun shook his head, "I'm a foreigner who just came to us, and I don't even know which direction the county seat is, how can I come from the county seat!"

The team nodded after listening, "I don't think your accent is like someone from us here, but it's similar to someone from Yan Kingdom." ”

Long Zun had a smile on his face, but he was terrified in his heart, he originally thought it was just an ordinary ruin, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people here.

Listening to the tone of the man in front of him, there must be at least two countries in the ruins.

I just don't know how big the territory of these countries is, and whether it is the same as the one outside the ruins, according to the division of the county.

The team was patting his head and said, "I almost forgot, you just asked me where I am, right?"

Long Zun nodded.

I heard the other party continue: "This is Zhaojiazhuang, forty miles to the east is Qingcheng, if you want to go to Qingcheng, I'm afraid you will have to wait for tomorrow, and now it's almost dark." ”

The team was looking up at the sky, and a fiery cloud had already appeared in the western sky, and it would not be long before it would be completely dark.

Long Zun didn't say that he was a cultivator, dozens of miles was not a problem for him at all, if he wanted to hurry, it would be enough for him to rush to the county seat before dark.

However, he didn't plan to go to the county seat now, and there were many things that his eyes were blurred now, and he needed someone familiar with the ruins to explain to him.

"May I ask if we have a place full of ruins and ruins, which at first glance looks like a place that was once prosperous but is now desolate. Long Zun inquired.

Team Zheng frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Long Zun had a slight disappointment in his eyes, he also thought that the other party probably didn't know, and he couldn't help but want to ask.

The team was thinking for a while, and then said: "I'll take you to meet our Xiucai here, he is a scholar who knows a lot, maybe he can know." ”

Long Zun showed a hint of hope, nodded hurriedly, and agreed: "You have to take me over for a trip." ”

"It's fine. The team said, and immediately looked at the queue beside him, "Big Niu, continue to patrol with the team." ”

"Yes. A big man in the queue raised his head and replied loudly, and it could be seen that he was a big bull.

Most of the buildings in the village are made of mud bricks, and only a few are made of fired bricks.

Long Zun followed the team to the gate of a courtyard where even the walls of the courtyard were built of burning bricks.

The team walked over and tapped the knocker in front of the door, and the knocker clicked...... There were several bangs on the knocker against the wooden door.

"Who!" said inside, and then the porter opened the wooden door and stepped out of it.

"It turned out to be Wang Teamzheng, how can you be free to come today? Could it be that there is something wrong?" the porter obviously knew Wang Teamzheng outside the door.

"The person behind me and I want to see Master Xiucai, we both know that Master Xiucai knows a lot, and I hope Master Xiucai can help this person behind me find where he is going. Wang Team Zheng said.

"Okay, come in! Our master is drinking tea in the living room, and you are also in a hurry, and you may not be able to see our master when you change to another time." The porter moved out of the way, allowing Team Wang and Long Zun to come in through the door.

The courtyard is a large compound with three entrances and three exits, and the so-called living room is a wing room connected to the main house.

On a chair in the side room, a middle-aged man sits, holding a tea bowl in his hand and a few snacks next to him.

"Master, the king team is coming. The porter first greeted the middle-aged man in the seat, and then said.

"Oh, what is he doing?" said the middle-aged man with a light voice, putting down his teacup.

"He said he had something he wanted to ask to see you, sir. The porter explained.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Let him in!"

Long Zun and the royal team were at the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as the porter beckoned, the two of them walked over together and went directly into the living room.

"I've seen Master Xiucai. Team Wang arched his hand towards the middle-aged man in the seat, and Long Zun behind him also arched his hand.

"Team Wang, please take a seat!" the middle-aged man stretched out his hand to point to a seat, and then said to the porter, "Ask the next person to serve tea." ”

The porter retreated, and soon another man came in with two cups of hot tea.

The teacups were placed on the small square tables in the hands of Wang Teamzheng and Long Zun, respectively, and then walked backwards out of the room.

"Drink tea!" the middle-aged man gestured with his hand, and then took a sip of his own.

"Master Xiucai, I came this time to this brother behind me, I have something to say, I hope Master Xiucai can help. Team Wang didn't touch the teacup, but said it directly.

"Oh, tell me what's going on, but I'm not sure it's clear. The middle-aged man said.

"It doesn't matter, if Master Xiucai knows the best, it doesn't matter if you don't know. Long Zun didn't know what to call the middle-aged man in front of him, so he called Master Xiucai with the Wang team.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's best if you can understand it, the world is so big that there are still many things that people who don't know." ”
