Chapter 2 Baiyun Village
"Aaron, when are we going back? Another half and a half have passed. "Since Xiao Ying's death, Zuo Congrong has started a wandering life as before, but this time he is destined not to be lonely, because along the way, Ziyuan has followed. It's been more than half a year now, and the two of them haven't even been to the survival base of humans, and they have been living a wandering life in the Warcraft Forest.
However, this kind of life has a head after all, no matter how sad it is, it can't be escaped in this way, and after wandering with Zuo Congrong for half a year, Ziyuan finally asked this question. Thinking about it, it is clear that no matter what happens to Zuo Congrong, his recovery period is half a year, this was the case when Xiaokong died at the beginning, and then when Mingzhu and Lan Feng died. Guessing that half a year has passed, Ziyuan also tried to raise this question, after all, it has been half a year since she left the imperial capital and left Jingcheng, and she has not been in contact with the imperial capital, I am afraid that Aunt Ye and grandpa will also be worried.
"It's been half a year!" But compared to Ziyuan's anxiety, Zuo Congrong doesn't have so many problems, he has lived alone in the forest since he was eleven years old, and he knows that he only integrated into the human camp four years ago, but even if he is integrated into the human camp, Zuo Congrong will probably spend more than half a year in the Warcraft Forest every year. And now there are people I like to follow, not to mention how comfortable Zuo Congrong's life is, although I was sad for a while because of my sister's death in the first few months, but later, I gradually looked down on it, and now, at least Zuo Congrong's heart disease is cured, but Zuo Congrong, who is not very strong in the concept of time. Didn't expect it to be so long.
"Yes, shouldn't we also go back to the imperial capital, no matter what. At least I have to tell Aunt Ye and Grandpa that they are safe, they will always be worried after being away for so long. Ziyuan suggested with a heart for the imperial capital.
"It's time to go back, too. Half...... At this time, the academy hasn't been on vacation yet, so they should all be there. Zuo Congrong also said thoughtfully.
"Well, you haven't seen them in years?" Shion asked with a smile. Obviously, there are even two of them in the same class in one college, but since the second college was invaded. I have never seen it again, and of course, the fact that Zuo Congrong has something to do is a factor that cannot be ignored. But even if Zuo Congrong had time to practice, he was on vacation, which can only be said to be very unfortunate.
"Yes, Kamio. Jamin. Yayue, I haven't seen each other for more than three years, Mingzhu and Ah Feng were ...... last year," Zuo Congrong said and suddenly stopped.
“...... , We still don't talk about this, let's bring them some gifts when we go back, we haven't personally notified them since we got engaged, and now it's been two years, so I won't tell them again. I guess I won't be able to be friends in the future. "Even though it's already passed, but every time I mention Mingzhu and Ah Feng. Zuo Cong Oh let it become what it is now, although Ziyuan is helpless, there is no way to solve this thorny problem, so he has to divert the topic and say.
“......”
"Eh, look over there!" Just when Ziyuan didn't know what method to use to restore Zuo Congrong's spirits, Ziyuan suddenly looked into the distance and pointed to Zuo Congrong and said.
"What's wrong,...... Is that on fire?" Zuo Congrong looked in the direction that Ziyuan was pointing, only to see a wisp of green smoke rising up, drawing a brilliant trace in the clear blue sky, Zuo Congrong asked calmly and suspiciously.
"No, the trees here don't seem to be so easy to set on fire. Aster said as she brushed the thick layer of leaves with her feet. Indeed, as Aster said, although the leaves and branches here are stacked on top of each other, because the shade of the trees shades the sky and the sun, there is no light at all, so that the leaves inside are deeply damp, and it is impossible to spontaneously combust and ignite, unless there is some external force, such as thunder and lightning or volcanic eruptions and other celestial phenomena can make this place catch fire, right?
"Well, why are there fireworks? Zuo Congrong asked suspiciously.
In other words, we probably saw a living person. Shion smiled slightly and explained.
"How is it possible? Zuo Congrong exclaimed. You must know that in the entire Asian camp, except for more than a dozen cities inhabited by humans, more than 70% of the land in other places is covered by primeval forests infested by demonic beasts, and the territory is vast, not to mention thousands of miles. And this place is located in the depths of the Warcraft Forest, if you want to come here, you can't get here without the ability of a strong person. The human camp is withering again, and the 800 million population is only more than 600 strong people, and the probability of encountering a human who is also a strong person in such a vast Warcraft forest is not much greater than looking for a needle in a haystack. At least Zuo Congrong, who has been in the forest for more than ten years, has never encountered a human in the depths of the forest.
"Look at that wisp of green smoke, it doesn't look like a fire, if anything, it's a little similar to the smoke from the cooking smoke when you were cooking outside, or maybe a high-intelligence monster is barbecuing food, but this possibility seems to be almost impossible. Shion said jokingly.
"Are they really human?"
"Just look at it. Shion suggested.
"Well, it's not very common. Zuo Congrong readily agreed.
......
"No, what's going on here?" After approaching, Zuo Congrong was completely impressed by the scene in front of him, and asked in amazement.
"......" Even Aster, who had never been shocked on the side, put on a rare look of disbelief at this moment, and stood quietly in place, unable to speak.
Walking along the fireworks, I thought that there was only one person or a small group of two people on a picnic, but suddenly a village appeared in front of me, I am afraid that no one will be shocked, right? Because the next era of demonic beasts is rampant, so the scope of human existence is almost set in the city, of course, there are also individual villages planted around the city, but they are also used as a transit station for adventurers to achieve survival. So, something like this small village that is lonely in the Warcraft Forest probably people will never think about it, but this is the case, a peaceful and peaceful small village stands quietly in front of the two of them.
The scale of the small village is not too large, and it is probably only about 100 households. The surrounding forests have been completely cultivated by humans, and a range of crops have been planted, and neatly planned fields and houses have kept the village in order. The occasional sound or two of children's brains also makes the small village extra vibrant, and it is clear that it is indeed inhabited.
"Sister Ziyuan, will we be brought into something incomprehensible again?" Zuo Congrong asked suspiciously. I had two similar experiences before, one was in the village of the Yuan Holy Spirit, and the other was in Wang Yue's illusion. It's no wonder that Zuo Congrong thinks like this, of course, except because of the strong sense of substitution in the first two times. Zuo Congrong still has good reason to believe that this is not the reason of the real world.
If you want to say that this demonic beast is built in the depths of the village or something, you won't believe it if you kill Zuo Congrong, the territory consciousness of the demonic beast is extremely heavy, and if there is no place occupied by high-level demonic beasts. In the end, there will definitely be a high rank to occupy it. Even if there is a strong person who drives away the high-level position, there is no place where the breath of demonic beasts is impregnated, there will always be demonic beasts to harass them, so that there will definitely be no peace here, and it will not be easy for humans to survive safely. And here, it obviously doesn't look like there will be a monster invasion, if there is a monster infested, at least the crops will definitely not be able to cultivate.
"Probably not. Shion took out her compass and looked in the direction. Judged. The most basic problem with entering the illusion is that the compass cannot be used, because there is no original magnetic field of the earth. There is no way to fix the direction of the needle with a compass, so it stands to reason that the compass is the most reliable. In addition, Shion has also used "divine thoughts" to explore the situation of the village, to say that who is bored to such a point, and there is such a big deal to make such a vivid village for entertainment, it can only be said that there are too many unknown mysteries in this world.
"Is there any hermit here? Otherwise, how could this place be so peaceful. Zuo Congrong guessed with doubt.
"It's hard to say, let's go to the village and have a look. "If it is a martial artist of a higher rank than himself, it is still easy to avoid the "Divine Thought" probe, and Zi Yuan said with certainty.
......
"Huh?" Zuo Congrong and Ziyuan had just arrived in the village, and a child who was playing alone looked up and saw two strangers, and let out a short exclamation full of curiosity.
"Little friend, may I ask what is your name?" It is easier to deal with children, or women, and I don't know if women are born with maternal brilliance or because they seem to be better than men, in short, compared to men, women can easily let children let down their guard, and at this moment, Ziyuan is half-squatting down, with a smile full of sunshine and asked.
"My name is Kitten, sister, did you come in from the outside, I really think I've never seen you before?" Not to mention the warm voice of Ziyuan, just the peerless face with a smile was enough to make this little child feel good, the kitten looked at the two innocently and replied.
"Well, my sister and brother are both coming from outside, kitten, can you tell my sister what the name of this village is?" Ziyuan asked again.
"It's called Baiyun Village, aren't my sister and brother very powerful? I heard my father say that everyone from outside is very powerful, is there a father who is powerful?" asked the kitten curiously.
"Hehe, your dad ......"
"Kitten, who are you talking to?" Shion was about to answer, but was interrupted by what she thought was a woman's voice, and she could be the kitten's mother.
"Hello Auntie!" after the woman approached, Shion and Zuo Congrang greeted politely.
"Did you come in from the outside?" asked the woman, looking at the two of them, and was shocked. The woman is not like a kitten who does not understand the surface of the water, she knows how strong the strength of people who come from the outside needs to survive without the blessing of the prince, from the establishment of this village to the present, the history of more than 2,500 years, there are records of only thirteen people who have visited this village, and the last time, it was more than two hundred years ago. And these two young people, who don't even look like they're even thirty years old, have the strength to get here, no wonder the woman was shocked.
"Well, I was going to go back to the imperial capital, but when I saw the smoke rising here, I wondered if there would be humans here, so I tried to come over to greet me, but I didn't expect to find this place. Shion explained.
"It's a guest from afar, running all the way, I think you two are also tired, so let's go home and sit with me first." The woman warmly invited.
"Well, thank you, Auntie. Shion thanked her. He followed the woman's footsteps home. After all, there are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved, and there are still many things that need to be confirmed, if only they could be understood through the woman. It is also a pretty good choice, and at this moment, the two of them really need to have a comfortable environment to rest, after all, they have been running around for more than half a year, and since they have the opportunity to relax, the two will naturally not let go.
......
"I heard that it seems to be very dangerous outside, but you two have not encountered any danger when you two have walked all the way?" the woman seemed to be curious about the outside world. Obviously living in the Warcraft Forest, but unexpectedly it seems that he has not seen any dangerous situations.
"Thankfully, there wasn't anything to scare us along the way. I've been wandering in the forest for more than half a year, but what do you mean by outside, Auntie, I see that outside your village is the Demonic Beast Forest, won't the Demonic Beasts come here?" Zi Yuan asked suspiciously.
"That's right. There is the protection of the gods here. Dangerous things can reach a place around our village at most two hundred miles away, in addition, the fields and houses you see in this village have the ability to protect, even if it is not too dangerous, there is no way to get in, only in the forest, can you encounter some not very powerful magical beasts. Don't you feel it? When I walked around, I didn't encounter any more powerful monsters. The woman replied.
"That seems to be the ......," Zuo Congrong recalled thoughtfully.
"Is there one?" The journey of more than half a year is now only 200 miles. Even Ziyuan, who is as delicate as silk, has not paid attention to these details, that is, Zuo Cong Oh let this alien who is naturally extremely sensitive to demonic beasts feel this difference, after Zuo Congrong's voice, Zi Yuan turned his head and confirmed to Zuo Congrong.
"It seems that it is, anyway, I haven't felt the breath of high-level demonic beasts for a while recently, and the territory consciousness of high-level demonic beasts is very strong, if it is its territory, it will definitely exude its breath, and it is indeed a little abnormal to not feel the breath for such a long time. Auntie, what's the matter with the blessing of the gods? After Zuo Congrong finished explaining, he asked suspiciously.
In the early ancient period, people did not have a complete understanding of science, in order to let people have a complete system of belief and fear, and then the gods were created, although this fictional supreme existence has no effect, but it is enough to restrain human words, deeds and thoughts. Then, thousands of years after the gods were preached, although all the problems have been confirmed by science, the belief that exists in the hearts of humans still allows the existence of the gods to continue to exist. But in any case, the gods are just a fictional system, and even if the world of the next generation can manifest a part of the gods because of people's beliefs, it is a little impossible to think that this kind of safety can protect the village within 200 miles, right?
"I don't know too much about the specifics, anyway, I've always heard of it since I was born, and no one has ever suspected it, and it's true that no dangerous monsters have broken in. Probably thinking that her explanation had little credibility, the woman smiled sheepishly.
"Auntie, I want to ask, which god is this god in your mouth?" Since what he said was true, and in fact it was indeed as the woman said, Shion tried to ask.
"It's Lord Fujun, our people here have tablets at home, and it's not clear which god it is, the history of our place only records the things of our village, and we don't know much about the culture outside. The woman replied.
"Auntie, I would like to ask if there are any more powerful or knowledgeable people in this village, and we want to inquire about something. "After all, it is a person who has lived in such a closed place since he was a child, and he knows very little information, except that Lord Fujun can protect the safety of the village, he can't even hear a little useful information, Ziyuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and wanted the woman to ask.
"Awesome man......"
"My dad is very good!" said the kitten, who had always been well-behaved, before the woman could reply.
"This kid ......" was interrupted by the kitten, and the woman was not angry, but smiled awkwardly at Shion, and said with a slight reproach.
"It's okay, kid. Auntie, I take the liberty of asking, why haven't I seen my uncle for so long. Shion asked cautiously. At this moment, the sky is already a little dark, whether it is going out to hunt or farming in the fields, it should be back by now, but there is no sound inside and outside the courtyard, I am afraid that it has not come back yet.
"I went out hunting with the kitten's brother, and I have been gone for three days and have not come back yet. The woman was silent for a while before she spoke very lonely. Probably because she had been out for too long, the woman was a little worried.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. ”
"It doesn't matter, he spends the night out occasionally, not once or twice. Seeing that you two don't have any place to stay today, if you don't dislike it, you can sleep at my house, how about it? It's getting late, and I'll take you to meet you tomorrow as you just said, and maybe you'll hear what you want. The woman warmly said.
"Well, then Aunt Lao has to bother. Ziyuan Huotou looked at Zuo Congrong and decided. (To be continued......)
