Chapter 146: Duo Kong's hometown
Duo Kun is a person from the Southern Wilderness, at this time back to the Southern Wilderness, it is indispensable to go to his hometown to see, he also misses his parents, when he left, his parents were still very tough, so many years have passed, I don't know what happened, thinking like this, Duo Kun couldn't help but speed up his pace, and Luo Zhan also followed, "I know you want to go to your hometown to see, I have nothing to do, I have experienced a lot of life and death together, don't mind if I bother my uncle and aunt?"
"Brother Luo, you mean you want to go back to your hometown with me? Haha, that's really good, I'm worried about how many years I won't be able to see each other after this separation, so good, what bother, my father and mother are hospitable people, don't say these words if you are brothers." ”
When Luo Zhan heard this, his heart was also warm, fate was so strange, it could make two people who were originally unrelated feel sorry for each other.
In the past, Luo Zhan had also heard the name of Nanhuangzhou for a long time, and knew that there were many mountains and mountains here. At that time, I was still a little strange in my heart, was there still a lack of mountains on the Tianheng Continent?
But after he came to the real deep Southern Wilderness, he found that his previous understanding had a lot of deviations.
Yes, there is no shortage of mountains in the Tianheng Continent, and it can be said that a considerable number of sects are hidden in the mountains. However, the mountains of Nanhuangzhou are quite different from the style.
It can be said that the peaks here are not high or dangerous, but beautiful. There are all kinds of strange grass and trees, and the shape of the mountain peaks is also extremely strange, which makes people feel quite pleasant to look at it from afar.
At the same time, the deeper you go into the Southern Wasteland, the more you can find that the folk customs here have become strange, and there are fewer and fewer monks, more than strong warriors and wizards.
Luo Zhan sometimes wonders, how is the difference between what these wizards know and the spells of monks, and if those warriors don't know spells, they are really the opponents of monks?
After experiencing so many things, Luo Zhan already had a deep understanding of the "order" of the entire cultivation realm, that is, to establish the theory of martial arts, and the strong are kings.
Regardless of the folk customs of the "original" Southern Wilderness Prefecture, if the masters here are not enough to resist the outside monks, they will not be able to keep the territory here at all, and as losers, they will soon be abandoned by the local people who yearn for the strong, making the entire Southern Wilderness Prefecture a world of monks.
But Duo Kong just smiled honestly, saying that when he walked around Nanhuangzhou more and saw more masters, he would understand. Luo Zhan had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.
Fortunately, he didn't need to wait for the speed of the two of them, and soon came to Duo Kong's hometown, White Emperor City in Southern Wilderness Prefecture.
"I always thought that it would be impossible to see a big city in the depths of Nanhuangzhou, but I didn't expect that there would be such a huge city in the depths of the mountains and rivers, and I don't know much about Nanhuangzhou now. ”
Luo Zhanzheng sighed, turned his head, but saw Duo Kun also looking at the surrounding situation strangely, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Duo Kun, what's wrong with you? Don't you even know your own home?"
Duo Kun scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I just think that this place has changed a lot since I left, especially the changes in people." ”
Luo Zhan smiled and said, "Isn't this a matter of course? You have been away from home for so many years, it would be strange if you saw the characters here the same as when you left." ”
"That's not what I meant. Didn't you ask why a big city suddenly popped up here? In fact, according to the customs of the Southern Wilderness Prefecture, most people are accustomed to living between the lofty mountains, and are managed by the elders and wizards of various tribes, and we are not divided into various countries like other places, and all of us people in the Southern Wilderness believe in the Southern Wilderness God. ”
Luo Zhan said strangely: "I see, but what does this have to do with the changes in this White Emperor City?"
Duo Kong explained: "Because of these reasons, our Southern Wilderness Prefecture seems to be a little closed to other regions, but some things must be communicated with the outside world, so four big cities will be formed in the four directions in the depths of Southern Wilderness Prefecture, and White Emperor City is the largest of them. ”
Luo Zhan immediately understood the strangeness of Duo Kong: "You want to say that when you come back this time, you only see the locals of the Southern Wilderness, and you don't see the monks who came from other places to barter, right?"
Originally, he had also noticed this matter after entering the White Emperor City, but after traveling in the depths of the Southern Wilderness for so many days, he was not surprised by this situation. Now that it has been explained by Taka, it is natural to find something strange.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it, maybe what happened here after I left, we'll find out when we get to my house. ”
Duo Kong's home occupies a huge area in White Emperor City, and it is easy to find it back. This kid didn't need to reveal his identity, and the old servant who was strolling around the door recognized the young master of his family at a glance.
"Young master! The young master is back! Great, the old lady has been sad for the past few days, and she must be very happy to see the young master come back! What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and tell the old lady that our young master is back!"
Duo Kong was also very happy to see the old servant: "Dabo, your legs and feet are still very handy." Are my parents at home? That's great, I'm worried I won't see them when I come back. ”
Luo Yu was more careful than Duo Kong, and paid attention to Uncle Da's words. It seems that it may be the right time for Duo Kun to come back this time.
followed Duo Kun and their old servants into the courtyard, and before they arrived at the lobby, they saw that Duo Kong's father and mother had already received the news and hurried up in the company of a large group of servants.
"Duo Kong, you're back, you haven't heard from you for so many years, and I'm worried all day about what will happen to you. Duo Kong's mother didn't care about so many people watching, her son was already an adult, so she hugged him directly.
Although his father was more calm, it was difficult to hide the excitement in his expression.
When the excitement of Duo Kong's family slowly subsided, he immediately thought of introducing Luo Zhan to his family.
Duo Kong's father said with a smile: "This must be a good brother of Duo Kong, my son is really grateful for the care of friends from all walks of life outside." “
Duo Kun smiled helplessly, but his father still put on a very calm appearance, he didn't listen to himself carefully just now, and he didn't know Luo Zhan for too long.
Luo Zhan smiled: "This time, I didn't say hello first, so I came to disturb my heart, and I was a little embarrassed." ”
Duo Kong's father's face was a little unnatural: "What do you say to bother or not, Duo Kong's friends are willing to come to the house to play, of course we have to entertain well." Uncle Da, you take this friend to our library, if you have any rare treasures, just let him pick them up, and thank Brother Luo Zhan for us with more generous gifts. Come with us to the Backrooms, and we can have a good chat. ”
Duo Gang's words sounded like he was really grateful to Luo Zhan, but there was a rare taste of giving a generous gift and then "sending it away" in his words. Especially the last sentence, it is clear that they will not receive Luo Zhan in person again, which is even more abrupt.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Duo Kun also immediately heard that something was wrong, and looked at his father with some reproach, "Luo Zhan came back with me so far away, how can you say that he is also a guest of our family, how can you, how can you be like this!"
However, Luo Zhan interrupted Duo Kun and said with a smile: "I think my uncle must also be out of good intentions, if I am not mistaken, I'm afraid that your mansion has been in some trouble recently and doesn't want to drag me down, right?"
"What?" the Dokan family all looked shocked. However, Duo Kun himself saw his parents' reaction, which confirmed Luo Zhan's thoughts, and now there is really something wrong in his family.
And Duo Kong's parents, of course, because Luo Zhan suddenly fell into their hearts.
"You, do you already know something?"
Duo Gang hurriedly said: "Dad, mother, could it be that Luo Zhan is right, something really happened to our family? But I don't think there is anything abnormal in the family." ”
Luo Zhan said calmly: "Uncle, I have encountered some things with Brother Duo Gong before, he should know that I, Luo Zhan, am by no means a person who is afraid of things, if there is anything that the two of you can say clearly, if I can help, I will definitely not stand idly by." ”
Father Duo sighed helplessly: "Well, let's go, this brother is indeed warm-hearted, since we won't hide it anymore, child, it's not the right time for you to come back this time!"
Seeing that they were relieved, Luo Zhan and Duo Kun did not ask questions although they were anxious, and followed them slowly inside, while waiting for Duo Kun's father to straighten out his thoughts and tell them what had happened.
"Originally, my White Emperor City was based on whether it was connected with the outside world to maintain prosperity, and the ancestors of our family also took advantage of this to rise, and gained all kinds of wealth, and then bought mountains and mines, built roads and bridges, and benefited the township. But something happened in the Southern Wilderness Prefecture recently, all the monks from other places were ostracized by us, except for the familiar faces who had been operating in the local area for a long time, everyone else was driven out of the White Emperor City and was not even allowed to haunt the depths of the Southern Wilderness. ”
"Uh, then, Brother Luo Zhan won't be excluded too, right?" Duo Kun didn't expect such a change to happen here, and asked with some concern.
Duo Kong's father waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this is actually a trivial matter for my family, and it's a big deal for our Luo Zhan friends to cover up their identities." The biggest problem is that someone has their sights on one of our vein properties, and they may attack at any time, and we don't know if we can handle it. ”
"Ahh
"Alas, the other party is very big, it is a member of the Four Desolation Tribe, according to rumors, it is backed by Xuanyuan Xia, the son of the Southern Desolate God!
From Duo Kong's father's words, Luo Zhan judged that this vein may not be just a "business", and the importance of Duo Kong's family may even involve prosperity and survival.
Sure enough, Duo Kun asked, "Father, in that case, why do you have to fight with them?
Father Duo sighed helplessly: "Not to mention that our family has invested a lot of money for this land, and now that the exchange with the outside world is cut off, we can only rely on this vein to support it." At the same time, many years ago, the wizard of the Creek tribe also used to divinate for our family, this vein will be a matter of life and death for our family, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up, even in the face of the Four Desolation Clan, even in the face of Xuanyuan Xia's doglegs!"
Duo Kong's father must have been very aggrieved these days, and he was also excited as he was talking at the moment.
Luo Zhan's eyes flashed, and when he saw what happened to the Duo Gong family, people couldn't help but think of it, isn't it very likely that his family was targeted by strong forces because of the crime of Huaibi, and finally ended up ruining his family?
Not to mention that Duo Kun is still his brother, he will definitely not sit idly by and remain indifferent to this matter. But judging from the attitude of Duo Kong's parents, they didn't want to involve themselves in this matter, so Luo Zhan just made up his mind in his heart, and on the surface, he comforted them with kind words.
