The children jumped up and clapped their hands and said, "Let's talk about it, let's take you to the patriarch!" ”

The more anxious children had already rushed to the village first, shouting as they ran: "Patriarch, someone is looking for you on the other side of the mountain......

Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan looked at each other and smiled, the children were so simple. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

Youlan took a little girl's hand and asked, "Little sister, how old are you this year?" ”

The little girl looked up and replied, "I'm six years old, how old are you, sister?" ”

"I ...... Sixteen years old. Youlan said.

In fact, according to the chronology of the world, Youlan is already more than three hundred years old, but she has cultivated to adulthood, and she looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

The little girl did the math and said, "In another six hundred years, I will be as old as you." ”

Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan are both stunned, how is this calculated?

Ten years is enough, why six hundred years?

Youlan smiled: "Little sister, you miscalculated, in ten years, you will be sixteen years old, catching up with my current age." ”

"No, it's my sister, you miscalculated. Sixty years is one year, and it will take me another six hundred years to reach the age of sixteen. The little girl said seriously.

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned: "You guys here, are you one year old in sixty years?" ”

"yes, aren't you?" Several of the children looked puzzled.

Ye Zhiqiu was shocked, so to speak, the six-year-old child in front of him has also lived for three hundred and sixty years?

Damn, according to the chronology of the world, these little children are also their own old-timers!

Youlan made up her mind and asked again, "Then how old are you patriarchs?" ”

"Our patriarch is two hundred years old." The children said.

Two hundred years old, 1,200 years old.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and asked again: "What have you seen and heard, how old is the oldest person?" ”

The children chirped: "In our village, there are still 300 years old." I've heard that there are 800 years old in other places, but we haven't seen ......."

While talking, the two children who ran back earlier had already led an old man with white hair and long beard to greet Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan.

The old man was of medium stature, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, with a cane in his hand, and was in good spirits.

But when he saw Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan, there was a trace of doubt in the old man's eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the patriarch." ”

Youlan also bent down and bowed: "Youlan of the Qingqiu clan has seen the patriarch." ”

"You're welcome." The patriarch bowed slightly, and then asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

"We came from outside Qingqiu to pay tribute to the legacy of our homeland." Youlan said.

"Abroad? Are you from the word of the earth? The old man was even more surprised.

"Patriarch Mingjian, we are from the Tao of the world." Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan nodded together.

The patriarch nodded, and said with emotion: "According to the old legend, our Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and the Dao of the human world have not heard from each other for more than 4,000 years. Outsiders can't get in, and people in the Qingqiu Fox Country want to go to the world, but there is no path. How did you two enter the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom? ”

Youlan stepped forward and stated the dialogues in front of the disc stone carving one by one.

The patriarch was even more surprised: "It seems that it is the intention of the elders of the Fox Country that you can enter the Qingqiu Fox Country." Since it is the order of the elders, then you are also the distinguished guests of the fox country, two of you, talk to me at home. ”

Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan thanked each other.

The patriarch raised his hand to invite each other and walked side by side with Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu asked, "Where is the Elder of the Fox Country that the patriarch just said?" ”

The patriarch said: "Our fox country has six cities, and the city in the middle is the largest, called Qingqiu City, and the city is presided over by the great elder of the fox country. Around Qingqiu City, there are also five big cities, named after gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and in each city, there is an elder. We belong to Mound City, so the one who promised you to come in should be the Elder of Mound City. ”

While speaking, the patriarch stopped in front of a house with a thatched roof and invited the guests into the house.

Ye Zhiqiu gave in and followed the patriarch into the house.

The patriarch's family is prosperous, with a group of wives and concubines, and children and grandchildren, all of whom are coaxed out to meet the guests.

For the people of Qingqiu Fox Country, it is also very rare and fresh to see the guests of the human world, just like modern people see alien creatures.

Ye Zhiqiu and Youlan were in a hurry, answering hello one by one.

After the host and guest were seated, the granddaughter of the patriarch served tea.

The granddaughter of the patriarch is also the same age as Youlan, cardamom is in her prime, wearing a green dress, pure and lovely. This girl seems to have taken a fancy to Ye Zhiqiu, peeking from time to time, and can't help but purse her lips and snicker.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't see it, and asked the patriarch: "I haven't asked the patriarch for the honorific name, I don't know how to call it?" ”

"The old man's surname is Ji, because he is ranked fourth and was born when he was unitary, so he is nicknamed Siyou." The patriarch said.

"It turned out to be the patriarch of Ji, and the surname Ji is also the ancient surname of the Huaxia Kingdom of the Dao of the world, I don't know if the patriarch Ji has any relationship with the Huaxia Kingdom of the Dao of the world?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

The surname Ji is the head of the eight ancient surnames of the Chinese Kingdom, the surname of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of all surnames, and the national surname of the Zhou Dynasty. The ancestor of the surname Ji is the first ancestor of the Chinese nation - the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor because of his long residence in Ji Shui, so he took Ji as his surname.

Moreover, many surnames such as Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang, Lu, Cao, and Wei in Huaxia were evolved and diverted from the surname Ji.

It is said that more than 80% of the current population of Huaxia originated from the surname Ji.

Patriarch Ji nodded: "The surnames of our Qingqiu Fox Kingdom are said to have originated from ancient China. In our Qingqiu Fox Country, there are currently eight surnames, namely Ji, Jiang, Ji, Ying, Fei, Fei, Yao, and Pregnancy. ”

"Isn't this the eight ancient surnames of Huaxia Kingdom?" Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed.

In this way, the culture of Qingqiu Fox Country and the culture of Huaxia Country originate from the same vein.

Patriarch Ji nodded again and said, "The old ancestor said that our Qingqiu Fox Country originally came from the ancient country of China. Youlan said that this is her homeland, but in fact, the ancient country of China is also our homeland. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was even more interested, and asked, "Patriarch Ji, when did you start losing contact with the ancient country of Huaxia?" ”

"After the Jedi Tiantong, I don't know the specific situation, I've heard about it." Patriarch Ji said.

"Jedi Skypass?" Ye Zhiqiu bowed slightly, it seems that the last time the Dou Zhuan Star moved to the Jedi Tiantong, it had a far-reaching impact.

The crowd chatted for a long time, and it was getting dark.

When asked about ancient history, Patriarch Ji was also vague, because he had lived for 1,200 years and had never seen anything at that time. Regarding the history of the Fox Kingdom and the ancient Chinese Kingdom, the Ji patriarch also heard it.

Ye Zhiqiu learned the general situation of the Qingqiu Fox Country and asked, "Patriarch Ji, I heard that there is a sky fox in the Qingqiu Fox Country, is there still one?" (May 20, second watch.) ）
