In the half month before the arrival of the Sun Festival, the indigenous people scattered all over the country have already driven the alpacas loaded with tribute to the royal city in the north.

Our father and daughter rode together, and Qin Chong and the "Crane in the Clouds" and "Flying on the Grass" of the pot helmet followed closely behind.

Riding all the way through the mountains, I came to the foot of the city on the top of the mountain at dusk.

Tribal missions from all walks of life had not yet arrived, and the huge temple square on the top of the hill was empty and silent.

The indigenous people in the Xuanshi block below the square heard the sound of our horses' hooves and came out curiously from all corners.

In the evening, the smoke of the cooking stove disperses and the mist in the mountains blends together, and the sound of dogs barking and roosters is faintly heard, which makes people feel like they are separated from each other.

Her Majesty the Legend of the Queen had just finished the sacrifice and slowly walked down from the temple surrounded by a group of guards and ministers.

The golden scepter with a pestle exudes barefoot, and his figure is graceful and slender, and he wears a reddish-brown summer robe.

Standing in the midst of the indigenous crowd, it is like a wild crane standing in a flock of chickens.

Seeing a few of us coming from afar on horseback, the queen's originally gloomy and gloomy eyes instantly became charming.

She used her golden staff to prop up the guards leading the way, and walked briskly towards us with a smile on her face.

While chattering non-stop, the Southern Wasteland language is long and crisp, and the young woman's fragrant voice is intoxicating.

"Girl, what is this queen talking about?"

I asked the Inca beside me in a low voice, and led the three of them to bow to the queen of the Sun Kingdom with the etiquette of the Eastern Native Han Land.

"The queen is asking us what tribe we come from, how come we have never seen us before? Is it a messenger sent by the sun god? ”

The little Incas's linguistic talent has finally come in handy, and she is able to switch between her native language and the Chinese dialect with ease.

"Tell her that we are from the southwest island, and we came to the royal city for the first time, and two bronze knives as gifts for meeting, not to pay respect, but also hope that Her Majesty will smile!"

After all, Inca was still a three- or four-year-old baby, and it was very laborious to translate such a formal statement, and it was a long time to talk about it.

The queen of the sun was quite smart and shrewd, and she understood the meaning and waved her hand to let people accept the gift.

Qin Chong was enthusiastic and worried that the queen and her attendants would not use it.

He stepped forward and drew a bronze knife, and took the long-handled wooden ge from the hand of the guard next to him.

But when he saw that he was chopping melons and vegetables, he cut the long wooden handle into seven or eight pieces in an instant.

Qin Chong was still not satisfied, so he invited the pot helmet to appear, turned over and performed a set of our Han family's meteor knife technique to the hundred officials of Wangcheng.

The natives had never seen such a formation, and they all regarded us as gods in the heavens, and they knelt on the ground under the guidance of Her Royal Highness the Queen.

After repeated explanations by the Incas, the queen stood up tremblingly, her tears in her eyes were moving, and the spirit of the king who had controlled everything just now was long gone.

Seeing that our attitude was sincere and respectful, she slowly regained her original momentum.

Choose a high platform and sit down, and two tall and strong guards stand on the left and right.

They have left Muge behind and are armed with the bronze knives we have just offered.

"The people of the sun, from the west. Over the mountains, across the sea. The cycle of cold and heat is more than chasing the sun. ”

The queen stopped greeting us, and began to close her eyes and recite a long old poem, with a voice that was eerie and sent chills down the spine.

It seems that she has accepted us as new Chinese, just like the gentleman who taught at the college.

Before the newly recruited disciples entered the school, the masters would always make a long speech and pass on the origins of the academy and the ideas of learning to the students.

After these scholars complete their studies, whether they become officials or walk the rivers and lakes, they will know where they come from and what kind of way they should follow to live in the world, this so-called inheritance!

The Middle-earth Han Land, which originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.

This indigenous sea country has no historians, no pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and is still in the chaotic years of knotted rope records.

Therefore, what Her Majesty is reciting is likely to be the chronicle of this indigenous sea country.

All the memories of the old and new Chinese people about the past events of their home and country are passed down from generation to generation in this form of word of mouth.

If nothing else, the content of her recitation includes not only the origin and mission of her ancestors, but also the records of astronomy, law, agriculture, medicine, warfare, sacrifices, marriages, etc.

It is all-encompassing and all-encompassing the way of governing the world of the indigenous sea country, although in our opinion it is the ancient law of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in the era of the flood and famine.

It is not in line with the time of the day, and it is not in line with the general trend of the world.

But it is the queen's greatest capital to rule this sea country for the sake of heaven.

The queen spoke quickly, much like the eulogy recited by the Brahmin priests before presiding over the sacrifice, and the Incas could not keep up with it at all.

But from the little girl's intermittent translation, I still know a lot about the past of this sea country.

Their ancestors came from the far western continent and were descendants of the Sun God Clan.

Every thousand years, there will be an impermanent year in which the cold and heat alternate and the seasons are reversed.

When the cold season comes, when the ice and snow do not see the red sun, the world will climb countless mountains and cross thousands of glaciers to the east.

Find a place where the sun rises and find a new place to live.

I don't know how many years have passed, and the descendants of the Sun God Clan have finally come to this Southern Wilderness Continent.

The red sun is back, the snow and ice have long since receded, and the four seasons are hot summers.

So the queen's ancestors and people stopped chasing the sun and lived in this warm continent for generations.

According to the queen's narration, it strengthened my previous judgment that these natives of the Southern Wilderness were the descendants of the ancient Xihe, and they were a branch of my Huaxia God Clan.

But I don't dare to climb with Her Majesty the Queen, like I did in the country of Puli and the country of Buddha in the green ridge ice field.

What surprised me even more was that the queen's slender crane neck wore a dragon-shaped jade ring with a slight redden.

Born in a jade family in the "Chang'an Fang" in the Western Regions, I can see at a glance that this jade pendant is an ancient shape of the Yin Shang era.

In the current jade markets in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, this kind of ancient jade is already rare to see.

Could it be that the queen's ancestors came from our Han land and were descendants of the Yin people?

When King Wu invaded the Emperor that year, the general of the King of Zhou, Hou Xi, led an army of 100,000 and did not know what happened.

Later generations have said that these Huaiyi military horses crossed the sea to Fusang country.

Later, there were rumors of maritime merchants that in the southern Luzon Islands and Champa states, they had seen the states and tribes formed by the descendants of these Yin merchants.

But all the rumors have never been seen in person, so they are not reliable.

Could it be that those remnants of Yin Shang 1,500 years ago are also like us today, driven by hurricanes and waves, and crossed the boundless sea to this southern wilderness continent?

There are all kinds of things in the world, and they cannot be fathomed.

If you think about it again, this black-haired and decorated indigenous queen has become the long-lost cousin of our Han family.

"Your Majesty, since we are the Sun God Clan, we have made it our mission to chase the sun in this life. Why settle here? It is the right way to continue migrating eastward to the Land of the Rising Sun! ”

I bow down to this indigenous goddess, whose beauty is fiery and flawless, and which makes people feel trusted and protected.

"The Father of the Sun God tells the world that the land of the rising sun is warm and abundant, that flowers bloom all year round, and that people no longer have to worry about food and clothing. This promised land has been found by our ancestors, and now it has been passed down to me. The solar calendar has been revealed, and the end of the cold season is coming! My people, this king has taken you in as our brothers, in accordance with the will of the sun god! The King will lead you through the long cold night back to the place where the sun rises, where our last home will be! ”

The queen stood up and patted each of us on the head with a golden scepter of power.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your prayers! There are gifts in the following, too! Our tribe is on the shore of the Canghai Sea, two hundred miles to the southwest, where there are metallurgical stone furnaces, iron mills for forging knives, and dregs for making fine wine! I want to dedicate all of these properties to Her Majesty! ”

The Inca girl translated my words truthfully, but the queen did not understand what was stone furnace metallurgy and what was iron mills.

With a confused smile on his face, he looked at us in a daze.

"Inca! Tell the queen that we have a thousand more of these bronze knives to give, right at the foot of that snow-capped mountain, and ask her to fetch them herself! ”

It was still Qin Chong's shrewdness that replaced all my kindness with a thousand illusory copper knives.

The sky of the Southern Wilderness Continent is very clear and empty, and standing on the square of the city on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the lone peak of the snow-capped mountain shining under the bright sun hundreds of miles away.

Qin Chong's words really worked, and the queen followed Qin Chong's pointing and looked at Lone Peak in the distance, and her entourage all laughed happily.

Bronze knives cut wood like mud they had just seen, and with a thousand long knives in hand, the queen and her subjects would be invincible on this continent.

"Well, after ten days, the Sun Festival will end, and this king will lead a hundred officials to parade the world. Your tribe is located on the southwestern border of your country, and this king will definitely go and see it! ”

The Queen of the Sun was very satisfied with our gift and treated us newcomers with great courtesy.

However, listening to what she said, I also have a rough judgment of the territory under the jurisdiction of this Sun Sea Country.

With this mountaintop royal city as the center, the farthest distance from east to west, north and south will not exceed 500 miles, which is comparable to the area of our royal land in Khotan in the Western Regions.

It only takes 10 days to walk around this sea country.

Fortunately, there are no natural enemies here, there are no strong neighbors, the earth is hot and humid, and the products are abundant, and the country and the people can be safe and secure by doing nothing.

Her Majesty may not have the concept of expanding her territory, and her control over her people is very loose.

Nomadic tribes came to the country to pay tribute to the queen and became her subjects.

Tomorrow, if the alpaca is driven to another place, this relationship between the people will automatically end.

"We, the Yunfeng Hua clan, are waiting for Her Majesty's arrival at any time!"

Qin Chong, Guo Helmet and I also stood up, and a flash of inspiration gave our camp a very loud name.

"Yunfeng Hua! This king has written it down! ”

The Inca girl's voice is crisp, and the free conversion between the Haitu dialect and the Chinese dialect is very pleasant.

The Sun Queen looked at my mount "Thunder" with a smile in her eyes, her eyes full of curiosity and longing.

From my point of view, this indigenous queen is at most the age of Fangfei, which is the age of playfulness and activity, and is on par with the little sister Duo'er who is far away in Qingfengze's homeland.

"This sacred horse travels thousands of miles a day, and it is domesticated from wild horses in the mountains, do you want to try it on the queen?"

Seeing the queen's heartbeat, I hurriedly and sincerely invited.

The woman was not polite, but handed the golden scepter to the guard beside her, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, put her shoulders on my shoulders, and stepped firmly into the saddle.

"Thunder in the sky" burst out of temperament and could not be controlled by the living, and the front hooves let out a long roar in the air.

The queen was so frightened that she screamed and trembled.

Qin Chong and Guo Helmet laughed maliciously beside them, thinking that I was flirting with the beautiful indigenous queen.

It's been nearly three years since I've been in the sea, and I haven't met such a fragrant beauty for a long time.

I hurried up to the queen to prevent her from falling off her horse.

Tightening the reins and leading the "thunder" around the Wangcheng Square, the lovely indigenous woman jumped off the horse with satisfaction.

His face was full of crimson and fine sweat, and he danced happily for a long time.

Roughly speaking, this extraterrestrial horse is stable and atmospheric, far from being comparable to their alpaca ride.

It's a pity that the queen is noble, otherwise I would have stepped on a war horse and led her to gallop across the wilderness.

The sky is high and the sea is vast, and the wilderness is boundless, how can the wild people who use alpacas as their foot strength know how big the world is!

Three months later, the Sun Queen and her guards arrived at our station.

After trying the sweet wine of the bud grain, the charred tapioca naan, and the cozy and fluffy brown wood, the wise monarch and her servants never wanted to return.

In our camp, he became a devout disciple and learned everything from winemaking, metallurgy, cooking and salting, and governing the country.

By the time we sailed west in October of that year, the Sun Queen and her subjects had mastered these techniques.

Since then, the livelihood and affairs of this indigenous maritime country have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Directly from the thick and wild Yin Shang years, it has crossed over to the Warring States Period when hundreds of schools of thought contended and hundreds of industries flourished.
