Chapter 123: Zhan Lan Sect
On the border between Lu and its neighbors stands a large mountain covered with vegetation, and in the center of the mountain are many long-abandoned houses.
This is the only place that has not been contaminated by Death Qi (a strange substance that appeared tens of thousands of years ago), and it is said that staying here for a long time will cleanse you of the dead energy and make you live a little longer.
The man in black flew the helicopter above the mountain, and with an order from Lei Xie, he landed at the bottom of the mountain.
"Teacher, are we going to the Zhan Lan Sect (a powerful sect in the former Lu State, now abandoned for four hundred years)?" Fan Yun asked Lei Xie, who was walking with him.
"Hmm," Lei Xie's response.
After walking with the four men in black for a while, the two came to an abandoned gate, although it was abandoned, it could still be seen that it was luxurious back then.
"Will there be anyone inside?" asked Fan Yun, who followed Lei Xie into the gate.
"You'll find out when you go inside," Lei Xie said.
In front of me was a road that looked fairly clean, as if it had been cleaned not long ago.
The two walked a distance and saw many abandoned houses, surrounded by vegetation.
"Isn't there anyone developing here?" asked Fan Yun.
"Until now, this place still belongs to other people's private property" Lei Xie said: "According to records, the ancestor of the Zhanlan Sect once made a treaty with the Emperor of Lu that year, as long as the Zhanlan Sect has a successor, then this land will always belong to the Zhanlan Sect."
"Hmm... , Why did the Emperor of Lu make this treaty with that ancestor?" asked Fan Yun.
"Because it was a few years after the end of the Ice Age, because of the devastation brought by the ice, the shortage of food, the famine in various places, and the people lived miserably" Lei Xie said: "But the Lan Mountain side does not know what the reason, there is a lot of food, the emperor of the Lu State in order to survive this famine era, so he talked about this treaty with the ancestor, although now the Lu State has been reformed, but this treaty has been retained until now."
"I guess it's to commemorate the Frozen Age," Fan Yun said, "so it's never been developed."
The two gradually walked to a large house.
"This house seems to be a little new!" Fan Yun said, she saw that the big house did not have too much vegetation and weeds, and it had a feeling that it had been renovated.
"Someone's coming" With a voice of Lu Chinese, a man hurriedly opened the door.
"You are..."Fan Yun saw the man who opened the door, wearing a clean but somewhat old clothes, with a scruffy beard and a mediocre appearance, which was different from what he had seen in the TV series before.
"I'm the current head of the Lan Sect," the man said, "You two are tourists passing here to watch!"
"Hmm... , Boss?" Fan Yun suddenly felt that those TV series were all lies, and sure enough, idol dramas couldn't be believed.
"Are you alone here?" asked Fan Yun curiously.
"I'm alone," the man said.
"Eh, won't you recruit disciples?" Fan Yun said.
"I picked it up," the man said.
"Okay, let's go look elsewhere" Lei Xie grabbed Fan Yun's hand and walked in the other direction.
"Teacher, why did the Lan Sect decline?" asked Fan Yun.
"The impact of the change in the culture of life," Lei Xie said, "and the establishment of the hunters' association".
"What happened to the Lan Sect by the Hunter Guild?" asked Fan Yun.
"At that time, the Zhanlan Sect claimed to be a cultivation sect, and cultivating there could increase life expectancy," Lei Xie said: "Actually, it is because it can remove impurities from the human body and eliminate the residue of dead qi, so that you can indeed live for several more decades."
"It's just that this also has a side effect, that is, longevity can only stay in Zhanlan Mountain, otherwise when a guy who has lived in Zhanlan Mountain for a few years walks out of Zhan Lan Mountain, that guy will feel dizzy and uncomfortable, and it won't be long before the death gas will re-enter his body, so it will be the same as before he went to Zhan Lan Mountain."
"Oh, so this is the price of longevity," Fan Yun said, "I thought there was an immortal cultivator there."
"At that time, there were still many disciples of the Zhanlan Sect, and most of them were nobles who wanted to live for a long time, so at that time, the Zhanlan Sect was not short of money," Lei Xie said: "It wasn't until later that people heard that the hunters of the Hunters' Guild lived a long life, and most of them were over 100 years old and had not died."
"Hmm... , so at that time, there was no shortage of money for hunters!" Fan Yun said.
"The Hunters' Association has never been short of money" Lei Xie touched Fan Yun's head and said: "And you don't need money to join the trade union, on the contrary, this is still a money-making profession."
"Hmm... , is that a lot of people who have joined the union," Fan Yun said.
"There are a lot of people who want to join," Lei Xie said, "but the union strictly controls the number of people."
"Why do you want to control the number of people? Isn't it good to have more people?" asked Fan Yun.
"Everything must be carefully calculated," Lei Xie said, "otherwise it will be wasted."
"Hmm...".
The two walked to a waterfall and stopped.
"Teacher, if the Zhan Lan Sect really has no descendants, will anyone develop here?" Fan Yun asked, grabbing Lei Xie's hand.
"In a few hundred years, someone will develop it," Lei Xie said.
"Why do you want to spend hundreds of years?" asked Fan Yun.
"The source of dead gas is no longer there," Lei Xie said, "the current dead air is gradually fading, and it should be gone in a few hundred years."
"Oh, why is the source of dead qi gone, has it been destroyed?" asked Fan Yun.
"I kept it private," Lei Xie said.
"Ahh
"What's that?"
"A machine," Lei Xie said.
"Machine..."Fan Yun suddenly felt that the teacher really had everything in that era.
"Ahh Where's the machine?" asked Fan Yun.
"In one of my labs," Lei Xie said.
"That's... , is it lifeless, the skeleton can't move," Fan Yun said.
"Skeletons don't move," Lei Xie said, "It's just a mixture of dead air and skeletons."
"Hmm... Fan Yun looked up and asked, "Can you let me take a look at that machine?"
"No," Lei Xie bent down and shook his head at Fan Yun and said.
"Ahh
"I don't want to answer," Lei Xie said.
"Oh" Fan Yun stopped talking, and her psychology was a little emotional, causing her to remain silent for the rest of the journey.
The sky began to get darker gradually, and Lei Xie asked Fan Yun: "Do you want to live here or go home?"
"Hmm... , let's live here" Fan Yun said: "I feel good here."
"Then follow me," Lei Xie said, turning and walking in one direction.
"Isn't that an old mansion area that hasn't been renovated?" Fan Yun thought to himself and followed Lei Xie there.
As the two walked for a while, a clean room appeared in front of Fan Yun's eyes.
