Yang Fan asked with some curiosity, "Why are you on this continent?" ”

The old man handed over the water and said, "This matter is a long story. At that time, Lord Zheng was ordered by the Holy Lord to go to Nanyang seven times. Became ill from overwork at sea, and died of illness and on the way. At that time, the fleet encountered a storm in the Tianzhu Sea, and the return voyage was imminent, so it did not stop. As a result, several ships were separated from the flotilla. I don't know how long I drifted on the sea, but I ended up on this unknown continent. The old man sighed and sighed, "The ship was also smashed into pieces under the powerful storm when it docked. ”

Yang Fan asked, "So, you didn't know where you were at that time, did you?" ”

According to the books recorded by the ancestors, it can be seen that many people wanted to go back at that time, so they repaired ships and built ships, but after all, they didn't know exactly where, so they went a lot, some came back, and some never came back. In the end, there were three or four hundred people left, who also died and settled down on this road. ”

"Then what's going on with this Sanqing tribe?" Sanqing in Taoism refers to the three gods who live in the Sanqing fairyland, namely Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun, since it is known as the Sanqing tribe, it should believe in Taoism, which is a bit strange.

"The biggest challenge to settle in a strange continent is the threat from the indigenous population. At that time, there were only a few hundred of us, and we couldn't fight against those tribes. Our ancestors came up with a way to attach themselves to a large tribe. Because the agricultural civilization on this continent was not yet developed, when the farming technology spread to that tribe, the chiefs at that time thought that our ancestors were all immortals, and it happened that there were still a few images of Taoism in the three Qing religions on that boat. The chief of the tribe let our ancestors settle down and assist him in the management of the tribe. ”

The old man continued, "Faith is a wonderful thing, and because of the disagreement between beliefs, the mighty tribe quickly broke away from the most powerful tribe of Haori. The chieftain had enough food and population to expand his territory, and more and more tribes came under the rule of the chief. And our ancestors have always been worshipped by them as beings like priests. ”

Yang Fan was a little speechless, but he didn't expect that Taoist culture would also spread to Australia...... It is estimated that the first batch of Han people who came to Australia pretended to be ghosts. He asked, "What about the tribe that came to the shore?" Why a traitor? ”

"They were sent by the Sark tribe to learn farming techniques. Although it is true that the tribe can survive by hunting and gathering, but in order to develop and grow rapidly, the cultivation of grain has become the key. ”

Yang Fan was a little speechless, is there any other technology in this kind of field? If that's the case, wouldn't the 30,000 people he brought with him become hot sweets every minute? "Do you want to go back?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Including me, there are only more than 200 Han people left here, and some of them have intermarried with other tribes and have been assimilated. Even the remaining young people, you can take a look, which one is still wearing Chinese like me? They were more loyal to the tribe than to the distant Ming Empire. ”

"That's fine. I'm here to find someone who can understand the local indigenous language and Chinese, after all, we have 30,000 people over there, and if there is a conflict with other tribes, it will be troublesome. ”

"Thirty thousand!" The old man was taken aback, he originally thought that the three hundred people on Yang Fan's side were all of them, but he didn't expect that there were thirty thousand people! Stammered, "Why...... There are so many people? ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "We didn't come here by accident, but came here to survive." Since you are the intermediary, there will be no conflict. ”

The old man was silent for a long time and asked, "Naturally, we don't have any ideas, but those tribes are not necessarily. I think it is still necessary to meet the leader of the tribe and let him protect you. ”

"We don't need protection, we just need to be safe." Yang Fan got up and said, "So it's best to send someone who understands the indigenous language to assist us, so as not to cause any trouble when the language barrier is obtained." The old man nodded and said, "It's okay, first ask Huahua and Abang to follow you, and then I'll ask the chief to see if I can demarcate an area for those people to survive." ”

"That's the best. By the way, I would like to ask, do all the Han people in this tribe speak Chinese? At the mention of this, the old man sighed: "Not much. There are only seventy or eighty people who can speak, and when Abang and Huahua are their next generation, it is estimated that even fewer people can speak. "Also, since the vast majority of people on this continent speak indigenous languages, this Chinese language is naturally jerky, and it is a miracle that it can last for a hundred years.

Walking outside, Yang Fan saw that the people of Jinyiwei had already drawn their swords and confronted those Han people, and hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter, put the knife down." The old man also shouted, "What's the matter, are you just receiving guests like this?" ”

"Ah Gong, they were the first to speak disrespectfully. They say we're outdated and degraded like those dirt dogs. The old man raised his eyebrows, not knowing what to say, so he said, "Discipline yourself." If it weren't for your rudeness, would people talk nonsense? Don't all step down yet! ”

"But......," Abang said and stopped.

"Do you still have me in your eyes! Retire! The old man stomped on his crutches, and the local Han people who gathered around scattered in all directions. Yang Fan also bowed and said: "I am not strict with my subordinates, which makes my husband smile." ”

"Where, where, it's these boys who are rude and provoked...... Jin Yiwei? The old man's cane trembled, and he only saw the clothes worn by these people clearly at this time, and from the booklet left by the ancestors, he recalled that this was the unique uniform of Jinyiwei, so he was taken aback, these people are Jinyiwei? The person in front of him must have an extraordinary identity. He originally thought that this young man was just a rich kid or a commoner, but now it seems that ......

"Dare to ask this little friend, who are you ......"

Yang Fan said: "Ling Hebo Yang Fan." It's just that there is no knighthood here, you just treat me as an ordinary person. ”

"Sir? How dare you, how dare you. "He has read from those books that have been left behind, and those who can be knighted are all knighted with great grace, and there are so many brocade guards following, although in this land, it is the chief and the chief who have the final say, but the 30,000 people under his hands are also a force that should not be underestimated, and naturally they dare not act rashly.

"Huahua, Abang, you two follow this lord and are responsible for handling the conversation with the tribe, do you understand?"

The woman bit her lower lip slightly, and seemed very unhappy, "Leave this matter to Abang." I...... To hit someone. ”

"What beating?"

Huahua's tongue was about to be knotted, and he hurriedly talked to the old man in the indigenous language about the expulsion of those people from the Sark tribe. The old man frowned, and said, "I'll leave it to your uncle for the time being, and you and Abang will be in charge of this lord." They don't know the indigenous language, and you two are the best Chinese in the young area, so it's decided. ”

"But ......"

The old man stomped his cane, raised his eyebrows, and blew his beard.

Hua Hua lowered his head, cocked his mouth, and said, "Yes, Ah Gong." ”
