On the evening of the day when Huo Tong and his party arrived in Yingchuan, Xue Tianqing also came to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the width of the river was less than half that of the plain, and the depth of the river had increased considerably, and the speed of the river had increased so much that the snow could only move close to the shore.

The bamboo raft in the torrent has long been less stable than it used to be, and from time to time it will come into close contact with the riverbank.

Seeing that the mountain pass was getting closer and closer, Xue Tianqing told Tianyu to stay in the cabin, and he was ready to find a suitable place to rush ashore.

The river has a large turn at a high angle a few kilometers from the pass, and a small beach has formed on the outside of the river due to the perennial current.

When the raft reached the beach, Xue Tianqing violently held the penny a few times, and the raft washed onto the beach.

After the bamboo raft stopped, Xue Tianqing sat on the bamboo chair panting - he was too tired, and at this time he seriously doubted whether he could cope with the danger after entering the mountain.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Xue Tianqing ordered Tianyu to start a fire, but until the flame was ignited, the little guy was still nowhere to be seen.

As time passed, Xue Tianqing got to know more and more about this alien brother, this kid not only understood what he said, but was also very smart and would not put himself in danger for no reason.

What's going on today, it usually only takes a few minutes to catch a wild thing, but now it's been almost half an hour and you haven't come back?

Just as Xue Tianqing was about to set off to find Tianyu, the little guy finally appeared at the edge of the woods, and he was still holding a prey of his size.

After seeing the appearance of the prey, Xue Tianqing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, not because dinner had landed, but because it was a dog in Tianyu's mouth.

Not a wild dog, but a domestic dog with a home nearby!

Xue Tianqing wanted to set off immediately to find the dog's owner, but in the end she endured it, this is a mountainous area, and there is no cooking smoke nearby, and the aimless search is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

After dinner, Xue Tianqing climbed a big tree with the rain on her back, trying to see if she could spot the lights in the distance.

With the little one, it was because Xue Tianqing saw a big branch on the tree, and he was going to deal with it for a night.

It is impossible to spend the night in the water, but there are too many potential risks on land, and it is always unsafe to sleep on the shore on a snowy day, so I choose to go up the tree.

After putting Tianyu on the branches, Xue Tianqing climbed to the top of the tree and looked into the distance, but it was dark all around, and no light appeared.

The undead Xue Tianqing hung on the top of the tree for half an hour, and finally sighed and returned to Tianyu's side: Let's talk about it tomorrow, it is impossible to find it tonight.

Xue Tianqing, who had been battling the rapids for a day, was already physically and mentally exhausted, so he leaned on the branch of a tree and fell asleep for a short time, and Tianyu fell asleep in his arms.

In the middle of the night, several unusually tall figures appeared in the woods in the distance, and they watched as they walked, carefully approaching the bamboo raft.

When they were still about thirty meters from the beach, several figures sniffed with their noses, and then quickly turned away.

Until the dark shadow disappeared, Xue Tianqing in his sleep still didn't notice the abnormality, he was too tired.

Although the black shadow did not attract Xue Tianqing's attention, it did not escape Tianyu's eyes, and its eyes were wide open at this time, which had also fallen asleep.

The next morning, for the safety of Tianyu, Xue Tianqing agreed with it that if he saw someone, he would find a place to hide first, and then come back to pick it up after asking for directions.

After seeing the hope of returning to the world last night, Xue Tianqing realized that the little guy was also a trouble, because he had already affirmed that Tianyu was also a new species that had not yet been discovered, and if it appeared in the world, he didn't know how much of a sensation it would cause.

It's just that after listening to Xue Tianqing's instructions, Tianyu not only screamed a few times a little impatiently, but also showed an expression in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

As the morning passed, Xue Tianqing had visited almost every place in the vicinity, but he had never found anything.

In order to attract attention, he even set up a bonfire in an open area, just so that the smoke would attract others.

At lunchtime, the absent-minded Xue Tianqing looked at the gobbling Tianyu's eyes lit up: Why did you forget the main owner, and just ask where it caught the dog?

Thinking of this, he grabbed Tianyu's neck: "Do you remember where you caught the dog?" Let's take a look. ”

Xue Tianqing carried a backpack and a long sword in his hand and followed Tianyu to the hillside, and walked about three hundred meters into the woods, when the little guy stopped under a big tree.

It's just that there are no valuable clues here other than a small pool of blackened blood.

Xue Tianqing walked around the scene of the crime for a long time, and finally asked, "Can you find out where this dog came from?" ”

After hearing this, Tianyu turned his head and walked towards the mountain.

After walking for almost three hours, seeing that the slopes under his feet were getting steeper and the trees around him were getting denser, Xue Tianqing began to wonder if Tianyu had made a mistake.

At this moment, the little guy suddenly stopped and motioned for Xue Tianqing to look ahead.

Less than 10 meters on, there is an artificially carved open space, and opposite the open space is a mountain peak.

On the opposite side of the clearing, on a snowy day, is a valley that divides the mountain peaks into two, and a pass is built against the mountain at the mouth of the valley.

The gate of the pass was closed, and only the two red flags at the head of the city fluttered in the wind.

Although the pass is also made of stones, it is too far away from the Moyun Pass, not only the stones used to build the city are a little messy, but even the city tower is made of wood, and it is better to say that it is a city tower than a shack.

Even though Chengguan looks a little cold, the excitement in Xue Tianqing's heart is still indescribable, because there must be someone here!

Told Tianyu to hide, Xue Tianqing walked to the clearing, but he didn't expect to stand straight for a long time, but there was no movement in the city at all.

Xue Tianqing asked aloud with some impatience, "Is there anyone?" Only the echo of the valley echoed him.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no movement in the city, he walked forward on a sunny day.

When he was still about fifty meters away, a head suddenly appeared behind the battlement, followed by an extremely heavy Shaanxi dialect: "Who is coming, stop quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

"Someone!" This made Xue Tianqing very happy, so he sped up his pace regardless of what the other party said.

But before he had taken two steps, a sharp arrow suddenly flew out of the city, and in an instant it was nailed to the ground in front of him.

The sudden change startled Xue Tianqing, looking at the still trembling arrow, he scolded secretly: "Damn, what age is it, why is there such a thing?" ”

Xue Tianqing once imagined countless scenes of encountering people, good, bad, excited, and lonely, but there was no one in front of him.

Such a strange way of greeting was so unexpected that he was so frightened that he took two steps back and shouted: "Big brother in the city, I'm not a bad person, don't let go of arrows again." ”

After a while, the talent behind the battlement probed and said, "It's really a big man, but why are you talking so strangely?" Hanzhong is full of ghosts and dangers, I really don't know how you got here. Boy, wait a while, I'll go and report to Huo Gong and ask his old man to come and talk to you. ”

When the people of the city had finished speaking, they retracted the battlements and did not show their heads again.

Although the city fell silent again, the words just now made Xue Tianqing stunned on the spot: What's the situation? It's been 2,000 years, and anyone still knows the name Ghost Rong?

After waiting in place for a long time, seeing that there was still no movement in the city, Xue Tianqing took two steps forward and pulled out the arrow on the ground, and then couldn't help but gasp.

Although he didn't know much about cold weapons, he also knew the name of this kind of arrow-three-edged armor-piercing cone!

This is a very lethal arrow on the ancient battlefield, mainly used to break armor, why did such a deadly thing appear here?

Xue Tianqing's body is actually very weak, and he didn't bring water with him when he went up the mountain, so it can be said that he was able to come here because of his faith.

I didn't feel anything when I walked on the road, but now when I stopped, I not only felt that my throat was very dry, but my body was also shaking vigorously.

Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Xue Tianqing, who couldn't bear it anymore, decided not to wait any longer, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, a voice came from behind him: "Young man, please stay!" ”

When he turned back, there were already many people standing in the city, and the leader was an old man with white hair.

The old man is dressed very differently from modern people, with a crown and big sleeves.

Not only the elderly, but also other people, although they are dressed differently, they are all dressed in ancient costumes.

Seeing that Xue Tianqing stopped, the old man continued: "Can Shaolang-kun come close and speak?" ”

Although Xue Tianqing wondered in her heart, she still walked to the city and said, "Old man, I am a person in distress and came here unintentionally. Originally, I wanted to ask what kind of place this was, and by the way, I begged for a drink, but if it wasn't convenient, I would leave. ”

When Xue Tianqing walked down the city, the old man couldn't help nodding while observing him: "It's a guest from afar, why should Shaolangjun be so polite, please wait a while, the old man will go out of the city to greet him." ”

After saying that, he turned and went down to the city.

After the city gate was opened, all the people in the city rushed out under the leadership of the old man.

These people not only wore ancient costumes, but also carried weapons in their hands, swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

The old man carried a long sword at his waist, coupled with an ancient costume, and he had the demeanor of an elder.

While Xue Tianqing was observing everyone, the people from the city were also looking at him.

Especially the old man, staring at him from above to down, and from below to up.

Then the old man raised his hand and clenched his fist and was about to speak, but before he could open his mouth, his expression changed.

Xue Tianqing followed his gaze and turned around, and found that Tianyu had arrived behind him at some point, grinning at everyone.

Seeing that Tianyu had already appeared, Xue Tianqing said casually: "Old man, forgive me, this is my brother, although it looks a little weird, in fact, it is quite well-behaved and will never hurt you." ”

As soon as Xue Tianqing's words fell, there was a burst of laughter on the other side, but the old man was not included in the laughter.

Instead of laughing, he showed an incredible expression and said: "Shaolangjun's visit to Yanyun Village is not only the luck of Huo Qing, but also the luck of the whole village. Shao Langjun has been running around for days and working very hard, please go into the village with the old decay to rest and wash the dust on your body. ”

Strange places, strange people, strange dresses, strange ways of speaking, several things come together, and Xue Tianqing can't help but have some concerns.

He reluctantly smiled and said: "The old man is not polite, you can avoid disturbing in the village, I just want to ask for directions, and then beg for saliva to drink." ”

Huo Qing said with a smile: "Shaolangjun don't have to worry, Yanyunzhai is the world of the Han family, you and I are Han people, Huo Qing will not make an unfavorable move, if this is against his will, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

Xue Tianqing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Old man, don't say that, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I've been out for an afternoon, and my luggage is being thrown by the river again, so I want to go back early." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Shao Lang Jun, now that the outside world is rampant, you are alone in the tiger's mouth." Now that you have arrived in Yanyun Village, if you are allowed to leave and encounter accidents, how can the old man be at peace in his heart? ”

Seeing that the old man's words were full of sincerity, Xue Tianqing was not good at being too prevaricated, so he hugged his fists and said, "In that case, I just listen to you." ”

It's just that he took off his watch and stuffed it into his trouser pocket as he put his hand down.

The old man smiled and said: "That's good, Shaolangjun quickly follow the old man into the village, you are the first visitor to Yanyun Village in two hundred years." ”

After speaking, he took two steps forward and pulled up Xue Tianqing and walked inside, and when he turned around, he also made a "please" gesture to Tianyu.

After walking out of the valley, Xue Tianqing realized why he had been waiting outside for a long time, and it turned out that this valley alone was almost two kilometers long.

A total of six city passes were built in the valley, and the more inward it was, the more majestic it became, and the last pass was not only unusually tall, but also very neat, and there was no messy feeling of the previous ones.

At the highest place of the city pass, there is a big flag hanging on the flagpole in the center of the city tower, and the word "Han" on the big flag flutters in the wind.

Standing at the mouth of the valley and looking at it, the scene in front of him made Xue Tianqing sincerely admire: what a paradise on earth, a paradise!

It is a large basin, so large that only a faint black shadow can be seen from the farthest peaks.

The boulevard more than ten meters wide leads from Taniguchi to the north, leading to a small castle.

The farmland around the city is dense, and all kinds of crops fluctuate with the wind, and the fields are full of people.

On both sides of the road, in addition to a small number of crops, there are some scattered buildings, and not far away, several horse-drawn carriages are slowly approaching.

On the right side of the valley pass there is a large area of wooden houses, surrounded by a wooden fence.

To the left is an equally fenced open space, where a large group of people are training in the attack.

They were in a group of five and were horns of each other, and the offensive and defensive sides were not chaotic at all in their formations advancing and retreating.

In addition to adults, there were many children in the crowd, and the youngest probably looked less than ten years old. Although he is not very old, he is not inferior to an adult in practice.

Looking at the style of the house, coupled with the clothes of these people, I think of the old man who said that no one has visited for more than 200 years.

Xue Tianqing felt that she should have accidentally discovered a place to escape from the world, which is the place described in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", but what does the word "Han" mean on the flag?

At this moment, the old man stretched out his hand and said, "This is Yanyun Village, what does Shaolangjun think?" ”

Although her heart was full of questions, Xue Tianqing still answered honestly: "It's really a good place, it's simply a legendary paradise." ”

Huo Qing sighed: "Shaolang Jun praised it falsely, if it was the Taiping period, this place could indeed be called a place outside the world, but now it is just a place for us to bury our bones." ”

Then Huo Qing turned back to everyone and said, "There is nothing important here, please take care of yourself." ”

When everyone heard this, they took their leave, and at last only a big man remained motionless behind the old man.

Huo Qing continued: "This is not the place to talk, please follow me to the room for a while." ”

Xue Tianqing, who was a little confused, pointed to the crowd who was training and said, "Old man, what are they practicing, why are there so many children?" Is it appropriate to train with adults? ”

Without waiting for the old man to speak, the big one preemptively said: "This is Yanyunzhai's own formation, called the five-sub formation, a group of five people, three people are the main attacker and two people are the main guard, the five people can coordinate with each other and can be converted to each other, and the power can be exerted in the narrow terrain, especially suitable for facing the ghost in the valley." Both men and women of the Han Dynasty have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and it is not only inappropriate for children and adults to practice together, but also to increase their combat experience, so as not to mess up the battlefield in the future. ”

After hearing this, Xue Tianqing could only divert the topic while talking about it, while secretly muttering to herself that these people didn't know Wei Jin.

Follow the old man to the tallest one in the wooden house group, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a long table in the middle of the house, on which were placed the flag and arrows.

On the right side of the room, against the wall, there are two simple wooden beds covered with tents, and on the left side are two rows of weapon shelves, all kinds of weapons.

These days, the rain and snow have developed the habit of taking a nap, and if you don't sleep after lunch every time, you will lose your energy all afternoon.

Seeing that it had arrived at the place, it jumped into one of the beds and prepared for a belated nap.

Seeing this, the big man wanted to stop it, but the old man suddenly said: "General Zhao, stop, just let it like it!" ”

The big man known as General Zhao wanted to speak up, but it could be seen that Huo Qing had a serious face and swallowed back what he was about to say.

The old man then turned his gaze to Xue Tianqing: "The distinguished guests came from afar, which not only made the old man very happy, but also made the Yanyun Village shine. It has not been officially introduced just now, the old man's surname is Huo Mingqing, and he is the current leader of Yanyun Village, dare to ask Shaolang Junzun's surname? ”

Xue Tianqing hurriedly got up and said, "Old man, my name is Xue Tianqing, I survived a plane crash more than ten days ago, and I came here unintentionally." Could the old man please tell me where this is? How far it is from the nearest city, the snow is grateful. ”

Huo Qing's face showed a trace of doubt when he heard this: "Shaolangjun, doesn't you really know where this is?" So how did you come to Yanyun Village? And why are you dressed like this, not only are you dressed weirdly, but even your hair is trimmed like this. ”

Xue Tianqing bowed and said: "Old man, now the people outside are dressed like this, but why do you and everyone in the village still wear ancient costumes?" What you may not know is that the outside world is exactly what you imagined. ”

Huo Qing and General Wen Ya surnamed Zhao both looked confused, and the two stared at each other for a while. In the end, the old man spoke: "What does Shao Langjun mean is that the people of the Han Dynasty are like this today? It's only been more than 200 years since we cut off communication with the Han Court, and the world has become like this? ”

Without waiting for Xue Tianqing to speak, the old man continued: "Since Shaolangjun can find Yanyun Village, presumably the imperial army is not far from here, I don't know who is the current commander of the army, and what is the strength of the Han army?" ”

Huo Qing and the others were confused just now, and now they have become confused on a snowy day, what is this? How do you feel that you and what the old man said are two different topics.

Just now the old man said that they have only been separated from the Han Court for more than 200 years, which Han Court is this Han Court, the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Even if they were those miscellaneous dynasties under the banner of the Han Dynasty when they fled the world, and for another two hundred years, the time would not be right, and there was no small court that called itself the Han Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty.

Suddenly, a modern word appeared in Xue Tianqing's mind - "crossing"!

As soon as he thought of crossing, Xue Tianqing immediately carried out self-denial, it was just a bridge in the novel, if time could really be turned back, it wouldn't be messed up!

Seeing that Xue Tianqing sat there without saying anything for a long time, although Huo Qing was anxious, he didn't want to ask too closely.

So he said: "Shao Langjun has been running around alone for many days, and he must have been sleepy, why don't you rest here for a while, and then talk about it when you and I are full of wine and food in the evening?" ”

Xue Tianqing relieved himself and said: "Old man, there is no need to rest, but I don't know how to answer your question." Because there is no war in the place where I came, and there is no ghost Rong as you say, it is a peaceful and prosperous place. ”

Huo Qing said to himself: "In the peaceful and prosperous world, all the way to the north ......."

After chanting several times in a row, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Shaolangjun, can you tell the old man how you came to this place and where you have passed along the way." ”

Xue Tianqing smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, I haven't even seen a figure along the way, and I don't know where I passed." Anyway, it's all a deserted wilderness, and not even a stone with a name engraved on it has been found. By the way, there is a place I know, it is an ancient city pass, called Moyun Pass, and I lived there for a few days. ”

Huo Qing and General Zhao glanced at each other when they heard this, and then said, "Is it indeed Moyun Pass?" ”

Xue Tianqing nodded, "There is a name on the city gate, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and there is almost nothing left of the closed building except for the ruins, and there are only some remnants of the foundation left in the city behind it." ”

Hearing this, Huo Qing had a smile on his face: "You actually came from Tianyun Mountain, no wonder you talk and dress differently than us, so where were you before you arrived at Moyun Pass?" ”

Xue Tianqing shook his head and said, "Except for Moyun Pass, I don't know where the rest of the places are." I was in a plane crash on my way to the south, and I fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself lying on a meadow. Then they passed through a valley to Moyun Pass, and then followed the great river below the mountain to come here. ”

Huo Qing said in a trembling voice: "What does that meadow look like, and what is around, can you describe it in detail?" ”

After Xue Tianqing redescribed the environment around the grassland, the old man not only turned red, but also said vigorously: "If this is the case, if it is true, the sky will be endless, and the sky will be endless." ”

Then Huo Qing got up and arched his hand: "Shaolangjun rests here for a while, I'll go and settle down first, and tonight the Shuai Mansion will hold a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust." After speaking, he left the room with General Zhao.

Seeing off the two, Xue Tianqing did not immediately go back to the house, but looked at the crowd who were still practicing, and at this time they had changed from the formation drill just now to a two-person battle.

After only looking at it for a while, Xue Tianqing's scalp felt numb, because these people practiced real killing skills!
