Chapter 80, Three Hundred Years of Persistence
"What about the pursuers?" Liu Feng suddenly interjected.
"Chasers?" A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Lao Dao's mouth, "Do you think that since they have settled down, there are still pursuers?" Two thousand pursuers, hundreds of people died in battles for more than ten years, hundreds died of wounds and diseases, hundreds of people were sunk by the three tribes at sea, plus those who disappeared for unknown reasons, etc., and finally there were less than 200 people in World War I. β
"There are less than 2,000 descendants of the three clans, although there are only more than 400 combat strength, and they are not as famous as the ancestors, but they are by no means weak, all of them are above the middle-level generals, and many of them are constantly improving along the way, so in the end, all the pursuers will be killed. They also fully fulfilled Xiang Yu's orders - unswerving their will until death. β
Liu Feng guessed the origin of the three clans, but he didn't know that the origin was so thrilling, especially when he didn't expect that their settlement here had a great relationship with the legendary overlord of Western Chu. After feeling a sigh in his heart, he remembered something, so he asked, "According to what the Taoist chief said, they should live together, but why are they divided into three villages?" β
"That's what happened after that. They settled here, but gradually, they discovered the fact that it was sealed, and they could no longer get out, and became a place of isolation. After a few decades, all ethnic groups have regained a certain strength, there is no threat from external enemies, and internal strife is gradually rising. β
"In fact, it is easy to understand that the three clans are all descendants of famous generals of Great Qin, and they all feel that their ancestors are invincible in the world, so no one obeys anyone. In times of war, no one paid attention to these things, and they were able to work together to resist the enemy, but after settling down, the contradictions gradually became apparent. In the early days, the three ethnic groups were relatively restrained, but as time went on, the contradictions became more and more prominent. In desperation, they had to live separately, so three villages were formed. β
"And then, when did you start looking for a way out?" Liu Feng continued to ask, and at this time, Bai Jian had completely become an audience.
"After the separation of the three clans, in the past few decades, there has been a great development, there are one or two hundred people, seventh-order generals continue to emerge, and even many people have reached the eighth order, although there has never been a ninth-order general, but it has never fallen into the glory of the ancestors. With such a strong strength, he is naturally unwilling to be trapped in a small valley all the time. Although the previous exploration of the way out was fruitless, it also inspired the determination of the three clans to find a way out. β
"Fortunately, they have never forgotten the days when they fought side by side, and they also know that only by virtue of their hundreds of people being vulnerable in the outside world, although they are still separated, they still decided to unite, so that there is a common patriarch of the three clans, and there is this token." Lao Dao looked at the black token that was written by Bai Jian in his hand.
"The position of the patriarch of the three clans is held by the three surnames in turn, and it is not easy for life, not only that, because he knows the danger of exploring the road, so the patriarchs are the most potential people, because the patriarch has to bear the heavy responsibility of educating future generations, so as not to cut off the inheritance."
"The first generation of pathfinders has set off, and at this time, the three clans are strong, gathering hundreds of people, including three or four eighth-order generals, but unfortunately, the first generation of explorers is gone. No one knew what had happened, and no one had ever heard a word about them. β
Ten years later, everyone had lost hope that the explorers would return, so the second generation set out, and their mission was not only to find a way out, but also to find traces of the first generation. Sadly, after 10 years, he still hasn't returned. β
"In ten years, a child at a few years old has fully grown up; Twenty years later, the newborn child has also grown. In this way, every ten years, no matter how many, there will be people who go out to find traces of their ancestors, and find a way out for those who are left behind. Over the centuries, the patriarch has changed positions, and the number of explorers looking for a way out has ranged from a few to hundreds of people, but still no one has returned. Until that year, Lao Dao took the patriarch's token and became the seventh patriarch. β
"Hundreds of years is enough time to turn an act into a tradition. When I received the patriarch token, I was only a teenager, and I watched more than a dozen fathers and brothers leave, and my heart was full of unwillingness. Ten years later, another generation had grown up, and the three clans had once again gathered strength, so they decided to explore a way out on a large scale once again. β
"There are more than three hundred explorers this time, led by seven or eight eighth-order martial generals, and they are the strongest in the history of the first place. After they set off, the old man, who thought he was unparalleled in talent, was unwilling to shrink into the valley for the rest of his life to educate future generations, so he decided to secretly follow. On the night after they left, they left the village in the dark. At that time, I was arrogant and arrogant, and my martial arts were initially successful, and I always thought that there was nothing in the world that I couldn't do, but now that I think about it, I am ignorant and ridiculously tight. The old man laughed at himself.
"And what did you see? How did you come out in the end? Liu Feng hurriedly inquired, he is now very interested in this period of history.
Lao Dao looked at Bai Jian.
"Beasts, endless beasts, go on and on, and on, and on." Bai Jian, who was secretive before, did not hesitate at all, and said briskly.
"Yes, the beast of boundlessness. It took me three days to catch up with the exploration team, not close, but far away. Originally, the valley didn't look big, but when I looked for it carefully, I didn't know how to get there, and I didn't reach the edge day after day. Suddenly, one day, the explorer was attacked by a wild beast. Lions, tigers, cheetahs, wild wolves, black bears, giant elephants...... A large number of beasts are available. β
"Maybe you think that there is something terrible about mere beasts, after all, there are so many mid-to-high-level generals." Lao Dao looked at Liu Feng, and when he saw Liu Feng nodding subconsciously, he continued: "Yes, ordinary people will think so, but have you ever seen a beast that can compete with a high-level general?" Have you ever seen a beast that singles out a seventh- or eighth-order martial artist and does not fall behind? You would never have imagined the feeling of those beasts whose single strength was not weaker than that of the advanced generals, and what was even more terrifying was that from time to time there were beasts that could compete with the 8th-order generals alone. Speaking of this, the voice of the old man trembled a little, obviously recalling the fear of the old events.
"The descendants of the three tribes of more than 300 people have learned the art of war and martial arts of their ancestors, and they are not weaker than those beasts when they form a formation to resist the enemy. For a time, a large number of beasts were killed one after another. At that time, Lao Dao hid in the distance, looking at the clansmen surrounded by tens of thousands of beasts from afar, and he couldn't help but feel scared in his heart. Yes, in that case, no one will not be afraid. I once thought that I was familiar with the art of war, and I could command Ruo Ding in ten thousand armies, and scold Fang Xuan on the battlefield, but I didn't know that I was wrong until that moment. People who have never been on the battlefield will never know the horror of the battlefield, and no matter how strong an individual is, he is just a drop in the ocean. is just like Zhao Kuo back then, he can only talk on paper. β
"In my heart, I wanted to save them and fight side by side with them, but my legs trembled all the time, and I even had an instinct to turn around and run away. You must know that at that time, Lao Dao was already the first to enter the 7th order, which is enough to explain the situation that Lao Dao was facing at that time. β
"In the blink of an eye, the explorers have been fighting, not stopping for a moment, not having time to stop, thousands of beasts have died at their hands, but more beasts have come in waves from afar. After all, they are not iron people, they have not slept for three days, their physical strength has basically been exhausted, the spare food has been used up, the arrows have long been consumed, and the weapons have been damaged in such a long fight...... Although there has been a record of zero fatalities for three days, the vast majority have already been injured. β
"They supported themselves by a will, fought and retreated, but they were not gods after all, starting with a small mistake of one person, there was a chain reaction, one after another, people who were too hungry and tired to react were torn to pieces by wild beasts, and there were no bones left. As time passed, more and more people died. After holding on for another day, there were only a few dozen of the more than 300 people left, and finally there were signs that they could not hold on, and perhaps the next moment they would be attacked by the beasts on all fronts. β
"Thinking about it now, those few days were definitely the most tormenting time for Lao Dao in so many years, watching the clansmen and beasts fighting desperately, but they didn't dare to go out because of timidity. Then he witnessed the death of his people one by one in the mouths of wild beasts. Finally, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, rushed out, and killed towards the encirclement. β
"To be honest, at that time, Lao Dao's combat power was definitely the lowest since he became a 7th-order general, because although Lao Dao was not fighting in those days, he was definitely unable to eat and sleep peacefully, and he was also morally condemned."
"As soon as I rushed out, I didn't kill many beasts before I fell into an encirclement. The situation here instantly alarmed the explorers in the encirclement, and they found that it was the patriarch who arrived, and used their last strength to kill the old Dao, and when they met with the old Dao, there were only more than ten people left. β
"No one condemns the old way, because there is no time, there is no opportunity, and the fighting is non-stop. But one thing is for sure, they all do their best to protect me, the patriarch. Perhaps they thought in their hearts that even if they died, the patriarch would die last. β
"There is no endless road, and at the last moment, God gave a hope of escape. An eighth-order peak martial artist tried his best in several days of fighting, narrowly escaped death many times, and even advanced to a ninth-order martial general, greatly increasing his attack power. But by this time, there were only a few people left. β
"Thinking about it later, even if he was basically exhausted and couldn't protect the remaining few people, the ninth-order martial arts general could definitely break out of the encirclement. But he didn't, with his ninth-order strength, he rushed to kill in front, and the others guarded behind, protecting Lao Dao and rushing out to kill. I don't know how long it took, but there was no one left. The beast was constantly pursuing, and the clansmen of the ninth order strength had exhausted the last bit of vitality, throwing me into the distance, shouting at me, 'go, go, go', and staying where I was to stop the beast. β
At that time, Lao Dao was crying and running forward with all his might, regardless of direction. The last time I looked back, it was the ninth-order clan who was overwhelmed by the beast. Lao Dao is voice was choked, obviously decades have passed, and he still can't let go of the beginning, "When I finally couldn't run and stopped, I was already outside Ao Mountain." β
A day later, Lao Dao regained his strength and walked back to the road, but found that he couldn't find his way back, and he didn't even know how he got out in the first place. With a heavy heart, Lao Dao searched again and again, and walked hundreds of miles around, but he was still the same. So Lao Dao knew that he could no longer find his way back, so he left there and began to travel. β
"In a few years, Lao Dao traveled all over the island, and also went to sea, and discovered the fact that this is a sealed island; At the end of the ten years, he returned to the original place where he had escaped, and after waiting for several months, he did not see anyone appear, and returned disappointed. After a few more years, one day I suddenly realized that such a life was not the direction of the old way, so I put down my armor and weapons, put on my robe, and entered the Dao Gate. More than 10 years later, he finally settled here. β
Liu Feng roughly calculated the time, from the first generation of explorers to the last explorer a year ago, it was a full three hundred years. They are like this, in order to restore the glory of their ancestors, for the sake of those missing relatives, knowing that they will die for a lifetime, but they still persist from generation to generation. Time passes, the vicissitudes of time, what has changed is the vicissitudes of life, and what has not changed is their persistent heart.
In the past, Liu Feng secretly laughed at them for not knowing how to be flexible, but now he only has admiration in his heart. This kind of tradition that has been adhered to from generation to generation is indescribable, but it is hidden deep in the hearts of every descendant of the three clans.
"TMD, the sense of substitution in this game is too deep, it makes me want to ......" Liu Feng scolded in his heart, but he tried to raise his head, blinked, and eliminated something invisible.
