Huang Taiyi slowly took a sip of the tea that was quite hot, and the general degree of cold and heat did not mean much to him.

The taste is hard to describe.

It's not that the taste is bad, it's just a little subtle.

The bamboo tube cup is soaked in some kind of pale blue dried leaves, which are indeed very similar to tea in essence, and the smell with a warm feeling is even closer to Huang Taiyi's preference than various tea leaves, but a cup of blue translucent liquid is still too strange.

I always thought it was some kind of chemical reagent.

Completely different from the sweet smell, it tastes a little spicy and refreshing, and even seems to contain a slight irritation of carbonated bubbles.

It's really weird to a certain extent, it seems that there is also normal tea, and the uncle's preference is also the normal kind.

Then it's time to negotiate.

"I know you must want to know a lot of things, where do you start? If you don't have a clue, I'm afraid you'll have to talk all night. ”

The uncle put on a knowing posture at the beginning.

I can almost hear the sound effect of the favorability rising.

"How about talking about the basic situation of the five major sects? I want to start with the basics, after all, we only know the name. ”

No one objected to the proposal made by the squad leader, and she seemed to like the strange "tea" very much.

Maybe it's because it looks healthy.

"Then I have a map here, wait a minute, I might have to look for it."

As saying that, the uncle stood up and searched for the boxes with books and other miscellaneous items, and did not regard them as precious things, and it seemed that books were not rare and exotic objects that ordinary people could not afford.

"By the way, uncle, how many people are there in your village? It looks pretty good. ”

Huang Taiyi took the opportunity of small talk to talk to his uncle, and still wanted to know some details about the situation in the village.

"There are about more than 1,000 people, and life has been okay in the past few years, uncle, since I took over the village, I have never starved to death."

The uncle didn't think much about it, and answered casually.

Although the number of more than 1,000 people cannot be compared with that of modern villages and towns, it should be regarded as a relatively powerful organization under the existing conditions of productive forces.

"Are there many villages like this?"

Mephistopheles immediately understood Huang Taiyi's intentions and joined the chat camp.

"I haven't seen it, we often go out to explore if there are any secluded villages, and if possible, we want to try to do business with them, or unite or something, but we didn't find much, many of them were wiped out before they lasted long, and there are more than 100 villages Now I know two, and they are all in very remote places, and life is also very bad, and we are very wary of outsiders like us."

The uncle still hadn't turned out the map, but when he mentioned these villages, there seemed to be some remorse in his tone.

Because there is no way to save those people?

This village is already very wary of outsiders, and I really don't know what those villages are like, but if I think about it this way, I also don't know what kind of experience people will have with such a level of trauma in their hearts.

"Uncle, you're such a nice person."

Si Ming's praise is obviously ambiguous, but fortunately, the people here should not be able to understand it.

"Hey, it's just that I just want to live in peace, everyone can live well better than anything else, but ah, it's hard to even do that...... There you go, here. “

Uncle finally pulled out the worn-out map.

The map is not made of paper, it presents a light gray, probably the skin of some creature, it is quite old in terms of color and texture, that is, it is actually not very reliable, there are many traces of alteration, and it seems to be keeping pace with the times.

Sure enough, the quality cannot be expected.

After the uncle opened the map in front of everyone, what he saw was a hand-drawn map that could only be described as reluctantly detailed, not to mention any proportions and the like, so to speak, it was even worse than the one on the other side of the wall.

"The part painted red on it is the five major sects, what is the yellow one?"

Emperor Scarlet Sword was carefully analyzing the signs on the map.

"It's a defensive tower, which can block the attack of zombies to a certain extent, because it's very dangerous, there is no way to live around, and the beasts don't dare to approach, it's very desolate, if you really target the strongholds of the five major sects, I suggest it's better to bypass such a place."

As soon as the uncle said this, everyone understood.

It should be the kind of "dragon" hidden in it, and it is not certain that all of them are dragons, but the danger is certain.

"What about here?"

Knowingly asked, the squad leader deliberately pointed to a painted area and asked.

There is the location corresponding to the spiral city opposite the wall, and the position of less yin and less yang in yin and yang should be a very critical point.

"It's a forbidden place, it's actually the place where Da Dezun used to live, it's forbidden to approach it all year round, even the master can't, there's no way to know what it's like now, it's said that there is an amazingly big tower, but this was all a hundred years ago."

The uncle explained that the "Guru" he was talking about, Huang Taiyi, knew that he was the de facto leader of the five major sects.

The place where the master lives is a tower with a high probability of intact, and the one where the great virtue lives is naturally equivalent to the spiral city.

Under the guru, the monks who have the power to conduct deliberations and rule the area are called town guards, and the two people I met before are at this level, and the uncle used to be, if the master is equivalent to the lord, the town guard is equivalent to the big and small officials.

The general name of the monks under the town guard, but it is not very high, and it doesn't matter if it is even a miscellaneous soldier, it mainly refers to people who can use spells, there are a lot of them, but their status is still higher than that of civilians.

There are a considerable number of villages within the scope of the rule, and the elders in the village are equivalent to the village chief, and at the same time, each village will also be equipped with one or more senior monks, who are not only responsible for defense, but also responsible for teaching doctrines and many related affairs, and the status is higher than that of the elders.

The five major sects are all of the same structure.

"Why can't even a guru? Aren't they amazing? ”

Huang Scarlet Sword didn't understand this very well, and the authority of the guru was already very great in her opinion, and she could do whatever she wanted.

"Because this will be considered to want to make a move against the status of the Great Virtuous Zun, but none of the factions has the strength to fight at the same time as the other factions, so they can only leave it alone."

The squad leader moved his gaze to the uncle, and the uncle nodded in agreement, which is a very easy to figure out.

No one wants to be set on fire.

"In this way, the strength of the five major sects is very balanced."

Huang Taiyi said with a serious expression, and his hand habitually rested under his chin to assist in thinking.

"Yes, although the teachings of the five major sects are different, they are essentially based on the spells passed down by the Great Dezun back then...... Hmph, but that's it, it's all a loser. ”

The uncle's hatred for the five major sects has never disappeared, especially when it comes to the ancients, and there is no place to vent his anger.

You can't blame him, after all, there is no hatred for no reason, he was really persecuted, how can he not hate.

Maybe it's good news, but the emperor doesn't know what level of strength the master has, and whether he can easily defeat it, so he doesn't feel particularly strong.

"How much strength do they have?"

Mephistopheles asked, lying on the ground and pointing to a random spot.

"There are tens of thousands of people in the ruling area of each sect, scattered in one village after another, and the intelligence and defense between the villages are interconnected, and the five major sects are connected by roads, and there are also trade relations in name, in fact, you have also seen that there has never been a shortage of murder and overhauling."

"This number is ...... There are few accidents. ”

Si Ming frowned, and calculated in his heart how much space should be occupied by 10,000 people.

"How many troops are there for the town guards and monks who can fight?"

The squad leader believed that the uncle would be able to answer such a question.

"It's not quite the same, you may not know much about it, let me explain, among the five major sects, the Golden God Sect and the Wood Spirit Sect tend to fight more monks, the Tushan Sect and the Fire Burning Sect...... These two situations are not the same, one is that the number of guards is very small, and the number of monks is relatively large, and the other is that the number of combat power is not developed, so the total number of combat power should be less. ”

The uncle explained while pointing out the location of these sects.

"It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case, I think the strength of the strength should be able to determine the strength of the strength, especially in the case of the five major sects splitting and having a unified goal, it is necessary to desperately develop combat power, is it because of the doctrine?"

The squad leader questioned this, and the lenses of the glasses finally switched to reflective mode.

This is indeed a suspicious point, if there are two sects with a small number of combat power, is it not a balance in itself?

Even Si Ming began to feel that something was not quite right.

"That's right, it's the doctrine related, the Golden God Sect pays attention to the extreme training and strengthening of the body, and even can use spells to simulate forbidden weapons, while the teachings of the Wood Spirit Sect are the tempering and manufacturing of the weapon itself, so the number of monks in these two sects who tend to fight is relatively large, and this is the reason."

Uncle's explanation is not difficult to understand.

It is the meaning of the martial arts faction, one is empty-handed and the other is a weapon, since it is a martial art, of course, the combat effectiveness is strong.

"What about the two anomalies?"

Mephistopheles was intrigued and hurriedly asked.

"The Tushan Sect nominally does not like to fight, focusing on the development of land and increasing the population, and the cultivation of combat power is also very casual, and the population is large, so of course the number of monks who can use spells is also large, but they often neglect to cultivate, resulting in a small number of strong people, but on the whole, it is still not weak, as for the Fire Burning Sect...... There are fewer people because of infighting. ”

"Infighting?"

Huang Taiyi seemed to have found an inlet.

"Yes, the ultimate combat spell pursued by the Fire Burning Sect, if you are not really strong, you will not have a chance to get ahead, and the internal competition is also extremely cruel, if you want to climb up, you can only rely on the road of combat effectiveness, the loser is almost only one death, the strong is really strong, without adulteration."

"I see, a few elite tactics are also an option, so the rest of the Water Life Sect is a more moderate sect?"

Huang Taiyi already felt that the Water Life Sect was the benchmark of combat effectiveness for comparison.

"The doctrine of the Water Sect is to cure diseases and impart knowledge......"

When the uncle said this, the expression on his face was already a little distorted.

"This ...... Isn't it great? It's ......"

Si Ming was about to blurt out the word "milk", but Huang Taiyi covered his mouth and blocked it.

"Yes, but that's where I came from, uncle...... Hmph......"

The uncle gritted his teeth, the hatred had overflowed his body, and he could almost see the heavy black qi behind him.
