The man said a long list of words to the old man in front of him, and when he spoke, he kept gesturing with his hands, pointing to the hot air balloon over there from time to time, and his emotions looked particularly excited.

After a while, the man finally finished speaking, grinned at Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo, who were beside him with blank expressions, and respectfully stepped aside.

The old man's originally innocent eyes finally changed a little after the man's voice fell. However, it seems that he is still a little uncertain, probably because Zhao Chen has no shadows of their clansmen on his body!

The old man's eyes glanced at the hot air balloon over there, and then at Zhao Chen who was looking at him with a smile on his face, hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, slowly took a step back, and then bent down at Zhao Chen.

This can be regarded as admitting the fact that Zhao Chen is a god!

Standing quietly in the distance, looking at the crowd here with bated breath, seeing the old man bending down to salute Zhao Chen, he suddenly seemed to be alive, and burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and then took a step forward and stretched out his hand to help the old man who bent over to give a salute.

Once Zhao Chen's identity was confirmed, the old man's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, and he gave a command to the man next to him, and then stood aside, let the wooden ladder behind him, and made an inviting gesture to Zhao Chen.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had to smile at the old man, and then followed Cheng Chu and the two of them, walking up the wooden ladder one after the other.

Since people have offered you as a god, you can't be polite at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!

This is a strange attic, a space of 100 square meters, in which all kinds of things are placed, and the whole room is filled with a strong mystery.

However, after Zhao Chen entered the room, his eyes noticed at first glance that on one of the walls in the middle of the room, the big drum hanging was different from the cowhide drum of the Han people in the Central Plains, but this big drum was bright.

Zhao Chen thought it was made of gold, but then he shook his head secretly, if such a huge drum was all cast from gold, how much gold would be needed!

It's not gold, it's a copper drum!

The body of the drum is carved with some peculiar patterns, and if you look closely, you will find that it is not actually a pattern, but a vivid frog.

These frogs are either squatting or lying, some with their bellies facing up, some with their backs facing up, and even some of them stacked on top of each other.

This copper drum is hung on the wall in the middle of the room, which is very eye-catching, and after Zhao Chen enters, it is difficult not to pay attention!

"Venerable God, are you familiar with this bronze drum?" Zhao Chen watched it intently, and suddenly the old man's voice came from behind him, although the words sounded a little awkward, but it was a serious Chinese dialect.

When Zhao Chen heard this, he subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but his expression was immediately stunned, he turned around suddenly, looked at the smiling old man behind him in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Do you speak in the original language?" ”

"Will say a little!" The old man seemed to have expected Zhao Chen's reaction like this, and after hearing this, he said with a smile: "The old man went to your imperial city in the Central Plains back then, but at that time, your emperor in the Central Plains was not surnamed Li!" ”

Zhao Chen had become completely stunned at this time, this was too incredible, he didn't expect that they would meet an old man who could speak Chinese when they ran into the deep mountains and old forests of Lingnan.

Wait, this old man said he had been to the Central Plains! And I've been to the Imperial City!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at the old man in front of him with strange eyes, and asked in surprise: "Old man, have you really been to the Central Plains?" ”

"It's been years!" When the old man heard this, a trace of the vicissitudes of reminiscence suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he had opened the old memory, and said in a faint voice: "At that time, this place was the same as today, the war was endless, and the old man didn't want to see so many warriors in the clan lose their lives at a young age because of the war. ”

The old man said, suddenly smiled slightly bitterly, looked at Zhao Chen and continued: "Therefore, accompanied by several warriors in the clan, I went to the Central Plains to offer my watch, hoping that the emperor of the Central Plains would be able to end this war!" ”

That should be the period of Emperor Yang Wen of the Sui Dynasty! Zhao Chen also had some impressions of this, during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, there were rebellions among the Lingnan bureaucrats from time to time, but in history, these rebellions were all Lingnan Feng Ang entered Beijing several times and begged Emperor Wen to send troops.

In fact, it is precisely because of this counterinsurgency that Feng Ang has gradually grown stronger in Lingnan, and now, he has occupied three thirds of the world in Lingnan!

"And then?" Zhao Chen quickly went through it in his mind, and on the surface, he asked quietly.

"Later, this is the situation we are today!" When the old man heard this, he suddenly laughed, there was bitterness and helplessness in his laughter, he looked at Zhao Chen and said: "It's still a scuffle, fighting each other, and every day there will be warriors in the clan who lose their lives because of this!" ”

When he said this, the old man's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo, and said in a faint voice: "The old man has lived for a long time, but since the old man remembers, this place has never stopped fighting, but until now, the old man doesn't understand, what are these wars for?" ”

Benefits! Zhao Chen sneered in his heart, the so-called war is actually caused by the imbalance of interests in the final analysis, or the unfairness of the heart!

The big ones always want to annex the small ones, so the small ones, in order to avoid being annexed, are always trying to strengthen themselves by all means, and when they grow themselves, they are afraid of being overthrown by the newly rising forces, so they turn around and annex the small ones.

Again and again, war and chaos arose!

"Old man, since you know the Central Plains dialect, then I won't hide it from you!" Zhao Chen could see that the old man in front of him was by no means the kind of person who was completely ignorant, and the most important thing was that the old man understood what he said, so after thinking about it again, he decided to tell the truth!

"God, do you want to say that you are not our god?" The old man in front of him, before Zhao Chen could say the second half of the sentence, raised his head and looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, and said in an astonishing voice.

Look, it's been said a long time ago, these old guys have lived for so many years, even if they are stupid, they have already lived to be old monsters!

Zhao Chen hasn't spoken yet! The old guy had already guessed what Zhao Chen was going to say next!

"It was a misunderstanding!" Zhao Chen smiled at the old man and explained: "Before, my brother and I just accidentally broke into your place by mistake, and we explained it at the time, but unfortunately those of your people outside couldn't understand what I said at all, so I had to come with me!" ”

"So, did the Venerable God come to this place on foot, or did he sit on the artifact outside and fly from the sky?" The old man looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, pointed to the hot air balloon outside, and asked with a smile.

"It seems to be flying!" Hearing this, Zhao Chen exhaled and said to the old man.

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he continued to look at Zhao Chen with a smile and asked, "Then may I ask the Venerable God, in the Central Plains, are there many artifacts like the Venerable God that can fly?" ”

"It seems... I'm the only one! When Zhao Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously, shook his head, and said.

"The old man has lived for so many years, but he has never heard of it, and people can go to heaven!" The old man looked at Zhao Chen with burning eyes, and said quietly: "Since this is the case, then the god is the divine envoy sent by the thunder god to save our people!" ”

I'll it! This is to put the name of an oracle on his head!

"Old man, but I'm a Tang man!" Zhao Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at the old man and said with a headache.

"So what!" When the old man heard this, he said disapprovingly: "This is God's will, it was the God of Thunder that made you come here thousands of miles away, and the God of Thunder is omnipotent!" ”

When the old man said this, he suddenly looked at the huge copper drum in the middle of the room with reverent eyes, and said in a faint voice: "It must be the piety of the clansmen who moved the thunder god to send the god from the Central Plains not far away!" ”

Zhao Chen was completely speechless by the old man, when he was in the jungle before, because of the language barrier, he couldn't explain to those people, and now he finally has someone who can understand his words, but he didn't expect this old man to be so stubborn.

The old man decided that he was sent by Thor, no matter how Zhao Chen explained, the old man just shook his head, and finally Zhao Chen didn't bother to explain, you have to think that I am a god, that is a god!

Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't explain, the old man finally showed a smile on his face, and warmly invited Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo to sit down, and after a while, the previous man took a few people into the attic, and put plates of food in front of Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo respectively.

It's just that Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo looked at the food on the plate in front of them, and the corners of their mouths twitched, these must be the most sumptuous foods in the village, but they look dark, let alone eat, just looking at it makes people lose their appetite.

"It's made the gods laugh!" The old man also seemed to feel a little embarrassed that such food was used to entertain Zhao Chen, with an embarrassed look on his face, he looked at Zhao Chen and said: "We are not more prosperous here than the Central Plains, these are the best foods in the village, and I hope that the gods will not be disgusted!" ”

"Where, where!" Zhao Chen barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said to the old man. As he spoke, in order not to let the old man feel that he was hypocritical, he had to pick up the food on one of the plates, smiled at the old man, and put it in his mouth under the silent gaze of Cheng next to him.
