Chapter 3 Huicheng

"Sister-in-law Lin, I heard that there are two high-ranking people from outside in your house?" Early the next morning, I don't know if this woman named Sister-in-law Lin publicized it to the outside world, or Zuo Congrong and Ziyuan were seen by the villagers when they stayed at Sister-in-law Lin's house, in short, the sun just came out, and the news of "two people from outside came to the village" was like wings, and it spread all over this village with only more than 100 households in an instant.

"Let's see what the people outside look like, I've heard that it's not easy to meet people outside. ”

"Do people out there look different from us?"

"Isn't it tall and burly, as strong as a monster?"

"What's the matter? Why is it so noisy outside?" Zuo Congrong, who had been tired for more than half a year, had not even woken up from a peaceful sleep at the moment, and was startled by the noisy villagers outside the gate, and Zuo Congrong asked dissatisfiedly.

"I probably heard that two outsiders had come in, and the villagers were curious to come and see. Ziyuan, who was sleeping on the side, seemed to have woken up, turned sideways and looked at Zuo Congrong's slightly hazy sleeping face, and explained.

"Really, I don't even want to sleep. Zuo Cong Oh made the noise awkward and put a quilt over his head, trying to put an end to this noisy sound.

"Maybe it's not a bad thing, but it saves us from going to them, and I guess the respected chief or elder of the village will invite us over this morning to talk. The questions we want to know can probably be found from them. Zi Yuan didn't care about Zuo Congrong's small movements at all, and still explained unhurriedly.

“......”

"What's wrong?" After Ziyuan explained, Zuo Congrong suddenly seemed to wake up from sleep, suddenly lifted the quilt, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ziyuan without saying a word. As if remembering a question, Shion asked suspiciously.

"It occurred to me that why should we inquire about this village? We don't live here permanently, and we may leave tomorrow, so why should we go out of our way to inquire about this place, even if we know. It doesn't seem to be of any use, right?" asked Zuo Congrong as if he had woken up.

“...... , you say that, it seems to be right. Shion said a little unsure of how to answer.

"Miss Ziyuan, are you awake?" As the two were talking, Sister-in-law Lin's voice came in from outside the house.

"Well, wake up, just go out later, what's the matter?"

"The village chief heard that someone from outside had come in and wanted to see him. Didn't you want to ask about something yesterday, now is a good opportunity. Sister-in-law Lin replied.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Lin, let's go later. Alright Aaron, hurry up. After greeting Sister-in-law Lin, Ziyuan urged.

"Yes, yes, yes! Zuo Congrong complained again and again, and crawled out of the bed.

......

"You may be seated, two distinguished guests. "After being led by Sister-in-law Lin to the village chief's residence. The village chief was very enthusiastic and authentic.

Although he is the head of the village, there are only more than 100 households in the village. Therefore, the village chief's shelf is not very big, just like ordinary people, and even the layout of the house is not much better than that of Sister-in-law Lin's, only the living room is larger. It may be that when this village chooses the village chief, it chooses some highly respected people to take on the role, and the age of the village chief should be around one hundred and fifty years old at the moment. His eyebrows were white, his skin was a little saggy, and wrinkles were crawling up his cheeks, but unlike his old body, the village chief's mental outlook was very good. The spirit is strong, the eyes are bright, and the appearance is full of wisdom.

"May I ask where are the two distinguished guests, who are they from?" asked the village chief after the two of them sat down.

"My name is Franis Aster, and this is ...... , my junior brother Zuo Congrong, we are both from the imperial capital, I don't know that the village elder asked us to come here?"

"Flange Aster...... , Imperial Capital people, do you know Rangol?" The village chief ignored the pause when Fang Cai Ziyuan introduced Zuo Congrong, but after listening to Ziyuan's name, he thought about it and asked.

"Hmm, do you know my grandfather?" Shion asked in surprise after a moment's pause.

"Hehe, no, but His Excellency Fran was here two hundred and thirty years ago, and two hundred years ago, I was not born yet. These things are recorded in the materials of the village, and I only know about them after reading them. The village chief replied with a little embarrassment.

"I didn't expect that although this village is small, these hardware facilities are so complete, I take the liberty of asking, has this village always had a tradition of recording history since its establishment?" Ziyuan asked with some surprise, thinking that it was just an ordinary small village, but I didn't expect that there were even records of things more than 200 years ago here.

"Hehe, yes, I think you also know that this place is isolated from the world, the environment is too unfamiliar to the outside world, if you don't record some of the things that happened, then the meaning of life here will not exist at all, right? This village has been established for more than 2,500 years now, and it has always been this scale, and it is also a tradition left by our predecessors to record history, so that those of us who live in the frontier also have an understanding of human history. ”

"That's right. By the way, yesterday I heard Sister-in-law Lin say that this village is blessed by the gods to be so peaceful, I want to ask, what kind of immortal is this Lord Fujun, who can be protected in such a large area?"

"Hehe, it's not a god, it's a real human being, when the village was first established, it was protected by him, at that time, our ancestors were all adventurers like you, right here, they encountered danger, although they are all strong, but some difficult to deal with the crisis still exists, and finally Lord Fujun took action to drive away the demonic beast, and then our ancestors and Lord Fujun lived here, and they have lived like this for thousands of years. ”

"Thousands of years? Zuo Congrong was taken aback and immediately denied. The village chief also said that he is a living human being, but since he is a living human being, the length of his life is only about a thousand years at most. How can a person with a lifespan of only 1,000 years protect a village for thousands of years?

"May I ask, who is this Lord Fujun you are talking about?" Compared to Zuo Congrong's surprise question, Ziyuan didn't have too many fluctuations in his expression, but asked indifferently.

"It's Taishan Mansion Jun, have you heard of it?"

"Taishan Mansion Jun? I haven't heard of it. If it is a god, he knows such a person, a living person, and the king of Taishan Mansion of the Ming Sect has really never heard of it. Zuo Congrong was stunned for a moment and denied again.

"Haven't you heard of it? How is it possible, that adult's ability I think even if he is outside, he should be a master with the ability to reach the sky. How could it not be known. ”

"How old is this village?"

"It's been more than two thousand five hundred years, don't you know Lord Fujun?"

"Sort of, if it's 2,500 years, the time is more consistent. Ziyuan thought for a long time and replied with certainty.

"I'll just say, how can such a powerful person as Lord Fujun be unknown. ”

"It's not. You are wrong, Taishan Mansion is not recorded outside, the vast majority of people have never heard of Taishan Mansion Jun, these things are only in the confidential archives of the imperial capital's historical materials, I was fortunate to see it once when I was a child, but I didn't expect Taishan Mansion to finally settle here. Shion denied the village chief's view.

"Who is this Taishan Mansion Jun? Why is it still a confidential file? Zuo Congrong asked curiously.

"Do you know the ten masters who founded the faction three thousand years ago?"

"You know, it's all a matter of common sense, who doesn't know. Could it be that Taishan Mansion Jun still has something to do with this matter?" Zuo Congrong couldn't figure out what Ziyuan was thinking, and asked.

"yes. Ten masters of founding factions. Eight main cities, seven major forces, plus the camp military, ten people not only went to the southern hemisphere to sign a treaty with the dragon clan, but also established a perfect defense system in the Asian camp in the northern hemisphere, knowing that three thousand years later. People are familiar with these ten people, but these things are all missing information, and the top of the camp did not release all the details of the whole thing. ”

"Isn't this the case?" is enough to subvert cognition, how can Zuo Congrong still deal with it calmly.

"Not really. In fact, there are eleven people who have been to the southern hemisphere, because the remaining people did not participate in the establishment of the camp defense system, and later left on their own initiative, did not participate in the construction of the main city, and then there is not much information left in the historical materials. Because his performance in the southern hemisphere contributed to the establishment of the faction, his information was left in the database of the palace and not disclosed to the world. ”

"The rest of this person, is it Taishan Mansion Jun?" has not been in contact with the outside world, but Ziyuan said this, the village chief also understood a lot of things, and asked.

"That's right. ”

"I said that it couldn't be an unknown person, but I didn't expect Lord Fujun to have such a big background. The village chief said with emotion.

"Why did he leave? And stay in this kind of place. ”

"I don't know, Lord Fujun was already here when the ancestors came, and the ancestors who didn't know the origin of Lord Fujun didn't ask too much. ”

"There's really no way to find an answer to this, then again, where do you have so many questions. Aster is also helpless.

“......”

"Have you ever looked at the map of the Asian camp. Shion asked again.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you remember the location of the eight main cities of the camp?"

"I remember. The location of the imperial capital should be slightly southeast of the mid-hinterland, Qingcheng is in the north, and the extreme north of the north is the ice city. To the south-east is Jingcheng, and further east to the coastal area is Haicheng. To the south is Steel City, and further south is Cloud City to defend against the invasion of demonic beasts in the southern hemisphere. To the west is the mountain town that is the only way for trade between the Asian camp and the European camp, why did you think to ask this?"

"Yes, but have you thought about it? To the north, there is still a city of Qingcheng between the Arctic Ice City and the imperial capital, to the east, there is still a city of Crystal City between the coastal sea city and the imperial capital, and to the south, there is still a city of steel city between the Extreme South Cloud City and the imperial capital. These three main cities separated by the main city of the tripartite border, although they are not too regular, are very cleverly distributed in places with similar distances between the imperial capital and the main city of the tripartite border, and only in the west, as soon as you get out of the imperial capital gate, the next place is where the mountain city is located, and there is no main city on the way, do you think it is normal for such a location relationship?"

"I have thought about it before, the distribution of the main city is indeed distributed outward according to the ring, but considering that there are only eight main cities, it is only reasonable to distribute them in this way, after all, there is a European camp in the far west, and it will not put all the pressure on us, so the location of the mountain city is not too important compared to the other three-way border main cities. Listening to Sister Ziyuan's meaning, is there anything hidden that can't be done?" Zuo Congrong was stunned for a moment and asked back.

"Yes, there were eleven masters who originally went to the southern hemisphere, and a few people were originally planned, and the camp military was established in the hinterland of the Asian camp, which was established by the three Jiang brothers, and the remaining eight people established the main city in their respective directions, so that they could not only protect the border from the invasion of demonic beasts, but also closely link the main cities together, no matter where the problem was, they could support more quickly, but because the Taishan Mansion suddenly left halfway, the main city connecting the western mountain city was not established, so the pattern of the eight main cities of the camp became what it is now。 ”

"...... between the imperial capital and the mountain city"

"Well, have you heard of Huicheng?"

"Huicheng, is there a city with this name in the camp? I don't think I've ever heard of it. Zuo Congrong thought about it for a long time, and finally said with conviction.

"Now it's gone, more than 3,000 years ago, it was the first metropolis of the camp, and it was originally the residence of Taishan Fujun, but then because there was no force to move in, it gradually declined, and now the population is seriously reduced, and even the name has been changed to a ghost town. Shion replied.

"Ghost town...... In this way, it seems that the location of the ghost town is indeed between the mountain city and the imperial capital. ”

"Well, if Taishan Mansion Jun hadn't left suddenly, the pattern of the main city would have been different now, and even the exercises practiced by humans would now be more than eight. ”

"Aren't the exercises practiced by Taishan Mansion Jun the eight exercises of the camp?"

"Except for the Jiang family brothers, none of the exercises practiced by others are the same, probably this is the reason why the ten strong people will be much stronger than the gods now, after all, they are the ancestors who created the exercises, and they must have mastered the secret methods that people can't even touch now, otherwise how can they have the strength to compete with the dragon clan. ”

"What is the name of the exercises practiced by Taishan Mansion Jun?"

"The exercise practiced by Taishan Mansion Jun is 'Ghost Meditation Strategy', but now there is no such exercise, and after Taishan Mansion Jun left, this kind of exercise was completely lost. (To be continued......)
