Chapter 83: The Dragon Clan
……
Liu Zhibang asked curiously, "Then why didn't he leave?" ”
Mu Tong shook his head: "I don't know about this, it's just a very strange thing......
Liu Zhibang asked curiously, "What's the strange thing?" ”
Mu Tong thought about it for a while, and continued: "Li Jun will send a large army with him to hunt in the depths of Wumang Mountain every year, and each time he will bring thousands of people there, but every time he loses his troops and returns...... Not long ago he returned with a feather, and I heard that he himself was injured......"
Liu Zhibang asked again: "Then no one knows why he went to the mountains?" Could it be that there are some powerful tribes in the mountains who can't rebel? ”
Mu Tong spread his hands, saying that he didn't know.
Hu Gang listened to Mu Tong's words, thought thoughtfully for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be for the 'Fountain of Youth'?" ”
Lu Er also aroused his curiosity and said, "Have you also heard of the legend of the 'Fountain of Youth'?" ”
"What is the 'Fountain of Youth', can you still live forever after drinking saliva?" Ah Meng asked vaguely while feasting.
Liu Zhibang also put down his wine glass and asked, "Is there really anything in this world that can delay aging?" ”
Hu Gang replied uncertainly: "There is an ancient legend, saying that in the depths of Wumang Mountain, there is a 'fountain of immortality' that gathers the aura of heaven and earth, and drinking this spring water will be youthful and forever young, but the legend has been passed down for many generations, and no one has ever confirmed it, and after a long time, people will only regard it as a myth......
"It's all the stuff of adults deceiving children, if there really is such a thing, everyone will not die if they drink it, then the world is not full ......of people, nonsense," Ah Meng munched on his barbecue meat nonchalantly and sneered.
Liu Zhibang glanced at Ah Meng, then at Lu Er, and thought to himself, human beings have also invented genetic reengineering technology, although they can't live forever, but it does greatly extend the life span of human beings, as long as there is enough money, it is possible to use genetic reengineering every few decades to live for three or four hundred years. This universe is so big, anything strange can happen, and there is no guarantee that something similar will appear on this planet, but I don't know if it is really or just a myth......
The next day, Liu Zhibang arranged for most of the Han army horse team to rush back to the Han nationality with goods, leaving only a dozen soldiers, he asked Hu Gang for more than a dozen sets of warrior uniforms of the Xiongfeng Dart Bureau, mixed with Hu Gang's dart team and Mu Tong went to Xia Yuan City.
The closer to Xia Yuan City, the more inhabitants, there are many crops planted in the fields, there are many Liu Zhibang who do not know, it must be a unique species on this planet, but they are all sparse, obviously there is no modern farming technology, the yield is very low, the houses here are mostly brick and tile structures, the architectural style is also quite special, each roof is decorated as much as possible, from a distance it looks like a colorful boat, it is very beautiful.
After walking for two days, I saw the tall walls of Xia Yuan City in the distance.
Liu Zhibang pointed to the city wall in the distance and asked, "Shopkeeper Mu, is that Xia Yuan City?" ”
Mu Tong nodded and replied: "That's right, what we see is the east gate of Xia Yuan City, Xia Yuan City is square, the city wall is as high as fifteen zhang, the moat is twenty zhang wide, the city gate is only open during the day, and you can't enter the city at night......
Everyone handed over a copper plate, but smoothly entered the city, Liu Zhibang all the way to see the flowers, the street is twenty meters wide, most of the houses have only one floor, only on the side of the road there are occasionally two-story buildings, although the street is not narrow, but there are many small traders occupy a lot of road, the street is full of people, shoulder to shoulder, most of the people here are blue-haired and round-eared, different from the people in the Wumang Mountain, everyone leads the horse all the way to the center of the city.
Hu Gang approached Liu Zhibang and said: "Patriarch Liu, I will soon arrive at the Xia Yuancheng branch of the Xiongfeng Dart Bureau, and the Hengchang Chamber of Commerce branch is directly opposite our Xiongfeng Dart Bureau, which is very convenient, let's go to the Xiongfeng Dart Bureau to rest later......"
Liu Zhibang looked at the samurai uniform on his body, nodded, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a group of people on the side of the road.
"Good news, good news, everyone come and see, slave of the dragon clan, this is a rare good thing, don't miss it when you pass by......"
Someone in the crowd said, "Huh...... There are slaves of the dragon clan, this is a novelty......"
Liu Zhibang couldn't help but ask Mu Tong: "Shopkeeper Mu, are the slaves of the Dragon Clan very rare?" ”
Shopkeeper Mu nodded and said: "It is said that this dragon clan lives deep in the depths of Wumang Mountain, never goes out, extremely mysterious, if you can capture a slave of the dragon clan, it is often a strange commodity to live in, and the unit price is extremely high......"
Liu Zhibang nodded silently and said, "Rare things are expensive, but I don't know what is so special about this dragon clan?" Let's go and see ......."
Liu Zhibang and several people squeezed into the crowd, close to the slave auction house, only to see a group of soldiers in a semicircle to maintain order, there was a one-person high platform in the field, at this time there was an auctioneer shouting hard: "Everyone, today you can catch up with a good opportunity, this time Xia Yuan City Lord hunted in Wumang Mountain, and successfully captured a few dragon people, this is the dragon people, you may not be able to meet the ultimate hunter in your life, the warrior who can drive the flying dragon, each of them is the object of the princes and nobles...... Is anyone interested? Now the auction begins, starting at fifty gold coins each, come, bring one up......"
"Wow, this is the Dragon Clan, it's really unusual, this skeleton, this figure, this complexion, it's really different from us......" Liu Zhibang had a man who looked like a rich man talking to another middle-aged man who looked like a rich businessman.
Another rich merchant nodded and said: "It's really an eye-opener, I only heard that the princes and nobles in the capital can have such hunters, and those who can have such hunters are top people, but I didn't expect to meet them in this small Xia Yuan City, Brother Wang, this time you don't have to fight with me, I want to buy one and give it to Lord Wu in the capital, then my son's career will definitely be smooth, haha......"
The middle-aged man who looked like a rich man replied: "Boss Hua, I can't let you this time, where can you find such a rare thing, if you can buy one and give it to Lord Du in the capital, my Wang family will no longer have to mess around in this Xia Yuan City where birds don't......"
Just as the two were talking, a tall primitive man came to the stage with a bronze chain on the high platform, only to see that the primitive man only covered his lower body with a simple animal skin, and his height was between one meter and nine five to two meters, which was not ten powders and stout, but the muscles were distinct, and the mixed body exuded a smooth feeling, the body was well proportioned, but the skin was an extremely rare light blue, which complemented the color of the hair, with a high nose and thin lips, sword eyebrows and big eyes, extremely handsome, and a pair of pointed ears pierced from the straight long hair, showing beauty without losing sharpness.
