033, the clue of the secret realm

Hua Zhenxing put away the gun, relaxed his body and slowly stood up straight, turned around and finally saw the speaker. This person is very young, in his twenties, typical of the appearance of the Chinese people in the East, wearing a beige dress with a stand-up collar and three pockets. Surprisingly, he managed to keep his hair clean and not a single trace of dust in this environment.

It is important to know that this area is a wasteland at the end of the dry season, and the slightest wind can sweep up the dust among the rocks halfway up the mountainside. Looking at Hua Zhenxing's face with oil paint, his body is full of sand, and he hasn't taken a shower let alone washed his clothes in the past few days, which is conducive to hiding.

The visitor was holding a long stick with one end sharpened and hardened. This stick was thrown away by Hua Zhenxing not long ago, because it was really inconvenient to sneak ambush with it, but it was picked up by this person, and it seemed that this stranger had been following him.

Hua Zhenxing: "Who are you?" ”

The stranger smiled and replied, "My surname is Ding, my name is Ding Qi, and I am from Dongguo." A lot of people call me Mr. Ding because I used to be a teacher at a university in Dongguo. ”

Hua Zhenxing had never gone to school at all, let alone a university, and there was not even a serious university in the whole of Feisuogang. Deep down, he is very envious of those children who can go to school with many of their peers from an early age. In that dream, in the world five hundred years later, he inexplicably became a college graduate, which somewhat reflected this mentality.

But on the other hand, Hua Zhenxing thinks that he is no worse than those peers, he has learned what they should have learned, and he has learned a lot what they have not learned, and he should be stronger. In his opinion, those talents are flowers in the greenhouse, and it is inappropriate to say that he is a cold plum that deceives the frost and snow, and it should be more like a wanton Chitose orchid in the desert.

This mentality is both contradictory but natural, but in any case, when I heard that the other party was a university teacher from Dongguo, Hua Zhenxing subconsciously respected it very much. Looking at the other party's appearance and combined with the experience just now, this Teacher Ding is probably also a stunt, which makes Hua Zhenxing have to admire.

Hua Zhenxing nodded very obediently and saluted: "Hello Teacher Ding!" What do Mr. Yang and Uncle Mo ask you to do? ”

Old man Yang has taught him to know how to advance and retreat and be polite since he was a child, Hua Zhenxing knows that he is not the opponent of this Ding Qi teacher, and he also realizes that the other party is not hostile, but can feel very kind kindness. Ding Qi's gaze seemed to carry a very strange power, this power was not a sense of oppression, but a sense of melting, which inexplicably made people feel soothed.

Ding Qi: "I'm here to investigate a legendary secret place, and they asked me to take you to see it." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What secret realm, where is it?" The task rewards released by the system include "There may be a secret place", Hua Zhenxing was thinking about what was going on just now, but he didn't expect the clues to appear in this way!

Ding Qi replied, "It is the legendary kingdom of the gods here, and its entrance is the so-called Divine Hidden Gate, where you ambushed and killed people. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "That's not right! That place is two rocks, where is the kingdom of the gods? It's not like I haven't walked it! ”

Ding Qi smiled again: "Ordinary people who have been there for a lifetime may not be able to find the real Hidden Gate, so I asked me to take you there." If you have any questions and rest assured, just come with me. When he finished speaking, he took the long stick and turned around and left.

Hua Zhenxing followed behind with a stomach full of questions, and couldn't help but whisper on the way: "You are a friend of Mr. Feng, when did Mr. Feng mention me?" ”

Ding Qi: "He came here last year to collect wind and met three very interesting old guys, both old and young...... Of course, these are the exact words of Mr. Wind, and I should call them seniors. He also said that he had met a more interesting little guy, and that was you.

Mr. Feng heard the legend of the Kingdom of the Gods and the Gate of the Hidden Gods in Phisuo Harbor, and when he returned, he told me that there might be a forgotten secret here, so I came here to investigate...... By the way, how did you and Mr. Feng meet, and what was the situation at that time? ”

How did you meet Mr. Wind? Hua Zhenxing's memory has always been very clear-

Hua Zhenxing only knew one Mr. Feng, who had been to Feisuo Port half a year ago, only had lunch and dinner at the grocery store, and sat and chatted all afternoon, but left a very deep impression on Hua Zhenxing. I don't know what his name is, anyway, Old Man Yang, Uncle Mo, and Kefuzi all call him Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng looked much younger than the three old men, but he was full of silver threads, with a pair of color-changing glasses, and he always smiled when he talked to Hua Zhenxing.

He and Old Man Yang and others are old acquaintances, claiming to pass by Fei Suo Port to come and see, originally only planned to have a lunch, perhaps because Hua Zhenxing's dishes are too good, or Old Man Yang's collection of wine is good, after lunch, he will not leave, idle all afternoon and wait until dinner starts, eat and drink to his heart's content, and praise Hua Zhenxing's craftsmanship again and again.

That afternoon, there was another episode. At that time, several old men accompanied Mr. Feng to chat in the back yard, and Hua Zhenxing looked at the store in front. Sir Mace arrived, claiming to buy the best wine in the shop. Mace is the retinue of Princess Kertya, who is the equivalent of a butler, and Princess Ketia is the dream girl of countless teenagers.

Ketia was the youngest daughter of the king of Belli. Located in Siloju, the country of Beli is a small country with a population of more than 10 million, and it has been officially established for less than 200 years, but it has a developed economy and a prosperous society, and it was also the suzerainty of the country of several miles in history.

The modern country of Jili was only independent 60 years ago, and more than 100 years ago, it was a colony of Lanxi, Belli, and Yin. These suzerains had conflicting interests with each other, and often crossed the ownership of a certain overseas colony, like dividing pork on a board.

Although the country of Jili is no longer a colony of the Belli country, it is still deeply influenced by the Belli country. Belli is one of its most important trading partners, importing a lot of goods and raw materials from it every year, as well as selling a large number of industrial products and providing various forms of assistance to the country.

Although the port of Philosophora is a city, it seems to be divided into different worlds. The most beautiful and peaceful place is, of course, the seaside south of the Feso River, where the estate that Rochard gave to Hua Zhenxing is located. It is unimaginable that such a backward and chaotic port of Feisuo is actually a tourist resort for many old nobles in Silozhou, and it has also attracted many powerful and wealthy people in the new era who yearn for aristocratic style.

It's not hard to understand that those people don't go to the Shire neighborhood anyway, and they can enjoy elegant and luxurious living in their world, with full security. Many people come on vacation in the name of trade aid, charitable donations, animal or cultural and environmental protection.

Especially those old royal nobles of Western countries, now do not have much real power, but still have a lot of influence, sought after by many powerful and wealthy, on weekdays rich and leisure, often come here when the season is right every year, the main thing to do is to visit and hunt.

Visiting the wild animals in the grasslands and jungles up close seems to be a very fashionable and compelling thing, which is said to cleanse the soul, inspire a love for nature, and a love for human civilization. There will be a deeper reflection on the value of life...... At least that's what a lot of people write about on their online tweets.

So what about hunting? The remote indigenous tribes hunted for food, but their food came more from gathering, and in short, not for entertainment. There are large national parks in the country, mainly distributed in the southern region of the jungle and grassland interlaced zone, the abundance of water and grass is actually the most suitable place for agricultural development, according to the regulations there is no hunting.

The national park is mainly visited by overseas tourists, with dedicated transport and security teams. Outside of national parks, the situation is more complicated, and there are theoretically only two situations in which hunting is possible. The first is that indigenous villages in "remote" areas protected by cultural heritage projects can still retain their hunting practices, but they can no longer hunt certain rare animals.

In fact, this kind of regulation is very flawed, and the law enforcement force in the country may not be able to control too much, so poachers are repeatedly banned, many people even go to the national park to poach, and all kinds of game are openly sold in the market.

Besides, there are still any serious primitive indigenous villages today. Most of these villages are local "cultural projects" where some local aboriginal people dress up in imaginary costumes and sing and dance for tourists to enjoy.

The second case is aimed at overseas tourists, mainly for all kinds of nobles and wealthy people, in the form of the issuance of hunting licenses. Hunting permits are very expensive and not affordable for the general public, and they are also a means of generating income for the local government, allowing them to hunt wild animals in the jungles or grasslands outside the national park.

If we were to find a name, it would be a kind of protection to appropriately reduce the population and prevent the overflow of a certain population from causing damage to the environment.

At the age of 23, Princess Ketia is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Women's Rights, Child Welfare and Care, and a spokesperson for many international charitable organizations. Belle provides aid for trade loans to several mile countries, and there are many international charity projects in the Afso-Francis area, so Ktia often comes here for holidays and stays on small estates on the southern coast.

Since she is on vacation, she is not always busy with official business, and Her Royal Highness occasionally goes out hunting, which is said to be to cultivate the noble qualities of traditional nobles, and to symbolize the courage and perseverance in the face of challenges. Hua Zhenxing used to be a little puzzled, sitting in a jeep carrying a gun, and going out hunting with a large number of bodyguards, what kind of challenge spirit can he cultivate?

After consulting Old Man Yang, Hua Zhenxing learned an Eastern idiom of "Speak in vain, listen to it".

After the light rainy season in late autumn last year, Princess Ketia came back for vacation. On the afternoon of Mr. Wind's visit, her butler, Sir Mays, went to the grocer's shop to buy wine, supposedly for a small dinner to be held by Her Royal Highness the Princess at the manor to-morrow.

Her Royal Highness the princess held a dinner to entertain guests, I heard that the attendants brought it from overseas, it has both grade and style, how could they go out to buy it? Maybe it's because I didn't bring enough with me, and I stayed here for a bit of a long time, and the wine in the manor ran out.

Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess could not use the popular goods in the supermarket outside to entertain customers, and in Feisuo Port, I heard that only Old Man Yang's grocery store could buy really good wine, and it could be said that the price was fair, so Sir Mays found this place, and explained his intention with his head held high.

Before Hua Zhenxing could take a stubble, the old man Yang in the back yard had already heard it, took a bottle of wine and walked out and put it on the counter and said, "The 2006 Romancotti is now delicious." Since Her Royal Highness the princess wants to entertain guests, I am embarrassed to sell it too cheaply, even if it is a bottle of 50,000 meters of gold. ”

Mace was a little shocked, but the gentleman couldn't lose his identity because he couldn't fall on the shelf, frowned and picked up the wine and said, "Where did you get this wine from?" ”

Old man Yang: "If you buy wine, you will buy wine, do you still care about my purchase channels?" ”

Mace put down his wine and said: "You Dongguo, I'm afraid you don't know much about the traditional famous wine respected by the real nobles, and I don't dare to let Her Royal Highness the princess drink this product of unknown origin, is there any other wine?" ”

Hua Zhenxing heard that Mace not only doubted the authenticity of the wine, but also because he couldn't afford it. Mace just opened his mouth and said that he wanted three cases of the best red wine, that is, eighteen sticks, and according to the price set by Old Man Yang, a total of 900,000 meters of gold. Even if Duke Kertya wanted to have a dinner party here, it would not be possible to give him such a budget.

But he couldn't say that he couldn't afford it, so he made such an excuse. Old man Yang didn't care, he smiled and took out a bottle of red wine that had been opened from the shelf and said: "You can take a look at this, in 2008, the origin of the country is absolutely clear, I specially bought a batch of goods, you taste it first." ”

Hua Zhenxing took out a big goblet, took the bottle and poured a shallow bottom. Mace took it and shook it for a long time, frowned and slowly took a few sips, without saying good or bad, he looked up and asked directly, "How much?" ”

Old man Yang: "Two hundred and fifty meters of gold for a bottle, if you don't bargain, if you can't do it, you can look elsewhere." ”

Mace seemed to muse for a few seconds, then nodded, "Then get me eighteen." ”

Old man Yang waved his hand: "Xiaohua, go and move the wine!" ”

Hua Zhenxing got up and went to the back to carry the wine, and happened to meet Mr. Feng walking in from behind with a jar of tea, a portrait of a great man on the white enamel jar, and eight Dongguo characters "Vast world, great achievements". Mr. Feng whispered in Hua Zhenxing's ear: "Don't worry, slow down your hands and feet, go a few more times, and give him one bottle at a time." ”
