Salt lake.

It is a natural salt-producing treasure land, and the soil and stones around the lake are extremely pure salt mines, and you only need to soak in water and evaporate to get white salt.

Such a treasure land, not only attracted a large number of human tribes, but also a lot of powerful soul beasts, after 10,000 years of competition, the human race was finally won, and a totem tribe of more than 300,000 people was established here - the Jin Yan clan.

The clan is respected by the high priest, and the name of the clan is the surname of the high priest, and the high priest is usually responsible for cultivation, and guides his descendants to cultivate, if the descendants are not good enough, they will ask the people below to offer pure and beautiful women, and spread the branches.

Under the high priest, there were also three commanders in charge of military affairs, law and order, and tribute.

These three positions belong to the hereditary replacement, and are held by the heads of the three families of Gongliang, Feng, and Bailang, who were given the surnames by the high priest.

There are two kinds of people below, one is the upper people who have a surname, and the other is the servant people who have no surname.

All in all, the clan tribe implements the caste system, the servants without a surname are at the bottom, and they basically don't get the opportunity to awaken the martial spirit, and the only way out is to look, whether male or female, as long as they look pleasing, it is possible to get the love of the people and even the commander and the high priest, and go to the peak of life.

It's just that among the more than 200,000 servants, there are less than ten good-looking people every year, and the rest can only live outside the city walls, and they are not even qualified to enter the city.

Even the village has to be a mile away from the city wall, and the dilapidated mud houses with mud walls and grass cover are far away from each other with the scattered stone workshops, manors, and palaces, which vividly express the dignity and humility in an orderly manner.

Gu Zhi came from the seashore and walked thousands of miles to the salt lake, walking on a narrow field path with straw sandals on his feet, sackcloth and knee-length shorts, and a high ponytail tied with brown rope in his hair.

Unknown wildflowers bloom on both sides of the road, and a small stream flows through it, and the babbling water of the river glistens and fills the fields.

The air was filled with the fragrance of rotting grass mixed with earth.

He didn't walk for long, Gu Zhi saw the smoke rising, and a village appeared in the place where he came into view, and there were a few children playing at the entrance of the village, wearing clothes similar to him, but the little face was dirty, and the hair was messy, but it was not shiny, and it was condensed into strands.

These children were not thin, but they were not strong, and if they were, the servants of the lowest echelons of the clan were much better off than the barbarian tribes.

The children looked up curiously, looking at this stranger dressed similarly to them, and a word came to their minds, "clean", this outsider was too clean, slender but well-defined muscles, strong and powerful, hair was incomparably soft, black and bright, a face without the slightest dust, and very good-looking.

The children were stunned for a moment before a child of about ten years old came up and asked, "Are you from that village?"

Gu Zhi, who was nineteen years old, smiled and replied, "One foot village."

The questioning child shook his little brain, he had never heard the adults talk about this village, and the villages here are all named after common scenes, such as Xiaohe Village.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I just happened to be passing by here, so I just stopped by to take a look."

Gu Zhi simply answered the children's questions, just stopped at the entrance of the village, watched the buildings in the village carefully, listened to the whispered discussions in the village, the shack built of loess and thatch, and the fenced yard fed the black boar, the smell was a little pungent, but the villagers were used to it, so they lived like this.

Compared to the village where he grew up, the living conditions here are still a lot worse, at least the people here don't pay much attention to personal hygiene, which means that the people here have just reached food and clothing.

Or struggling on the food and clothing line.

The people in the village also noticed that there was a very beautiful young man at the entrance of the village, but neither men, women nor children had any intention of coming forward to talk, although they were dressed the same, but cleanliness could also be an obstacle to communication between people.

Just as he was about to leave, an old man dressed in a plain robe with a round belly walked briskly, his eyes were bright, and he looked at the stranger who had suddenly arrived in their village with a bright smile.

"Is this guest a relative?"

The old man's smile was too enthusiastic and with a strong sense of purpose, which made Gu Zhi's eyes cold, and he subconsciously captured his thoughts and read his thoughts.

Finding that this old man had already thought of a way out for him, he planned to take Gu Zhi to the city, use Gu Zhi's appearance as a certificate to enter the city, and then go to the mansion of the commander and dedicate Gu Zhi to the high priest family.

Gu Zhi, who was pimped for no reason, didn't know whether to be happy or helpless, after all, according to this old man's idea, he belonged to a beautiful man who had not been seen in this city for thousands of years.

Enough to drive the daughters of the high priest's house crazy.

I can learn more about the customs and customs here from him, Gu Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm not from the Jinyan clan, I'm from other tribes and pass through here, old man, how about taking me to the city for a walk?"

This young man is actually a tourist, so the credit belongs to me completely.

The old man trembled with excitement, and quickly stepped forward to grab Gu Zhi's hand, but Gu Zhi dodged to avoid it, he didn't want to enjoy the enthusiasm of the bad old man.

"Guest, please come with me."

The old man who had been treated coldly was still enthusiastic, he had never seen such a beautiful man, he was once a famous handsome man within a radius of thirty miles, he was once favored by a citizen of the city, and served a powerful female warrior, but he was sent back to the village in only half a year.

Probably because his body is too thin and weak.

But with this experience, he became the village chief, and what he saw and heard in the city also became his glorious experience, which made his fellow villagers envy him incomparably.

And now, with Gu Zhi's face, he has the qualifications to enter the city again.

Maybe you can get a surname and be promoted to a citizen by virtue of this merit.

It's just that he doesn't know that all of his calculations have been known to Gu Zhi, and according to this information, he has a certain understanding of this clan and tribe.

His evaluation is very similar to the social order of the ancient silver capital civilization.

The two walked through the country road one after the other, and when they reached the road into the city, the old man repeatedly explained that they could only walk on the dirt road a foot wide on the side of the road, and could not set foot on the bluestone road.

"This guest, the stone road is the road where the nobles in the city run horses and drive, if we walk up, they will be directly hit and killed, even if we avoid it, we will be punished.

Of course, when you enter the city, you can swagger on it when you get the appreciation of the nobles. ”

As soon as the old man turned around, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Zhi, who was speechless.

Gu Zhi didn't pay attention to these old men who were full of small abacus, he walked in the middle of the bluestone road, his pace was not hurried or slow, and his eyes calmly looked at the city in front of him.

The guards guarding the city gate noticed this young man who ignored the rules of dignity and inferiority, and the journey of a hundred zhang was quickly completed, Gu Zhi just stood in front of them, looking at the streets of the city unscrupulously, and looking at the people on the street with a blank face.

This kind of behavior did not look like a servant, but he was indeed beautiful enough, and I am afraid that the children of the high priest's family will be tempted by him.

For a while, these guards subconsciously tolerated Gu Zhi's behavior of trampling on the rules.

At this time, the old man who reacted gritted his teeth, burst out with a speed that did not belong to his size, ran to the city gate at the speed of ordinary people, bowed down to the tallest guard, and said respectfully: "My lord, he is a foreign tourist, and he does not know the rules of the city, please forgive him."

Either for the sake of the calculation in his heart, or a little conscience, the old man mustered up the only courage left in his life, and knelt in front of the people, his violently trembling body and the kneeling posture of his forehead against the ground were enough to explain the fear in his heart.

It's just in time, I'll take you to tell this kid about the rules.

The tall guard grinned, his eyes glowing with cruelty, and he raised one foot and kicked the old man's head hard.

"Forgive him, of course, but you......

Since you didn't tell him the rules, causing him to commit a taboo, it's up to you to take it for him. ”

If this kick falls, the old man's brain will burst open, and the red and white will splash to the ground.

Next to him, Gu Zhi saw all this, the cruel light in the eyes of this guard and the smile on the corner of his mouth were so dazzling, like blood stains on the snow.

In an instant, he thought a lot.

Here, the divine right is supreme, and dignity is determined by birth.

The guards are the people who can execute the servants for a reason, and they don't even need a reason, and they just need to pay a sum of money to the servants' subordinates afterwards.

Respect and humility override justice, and forcibly distinguish between those who are also two shoulders and one head, and those above regard the people below as cattle and horses to be slaughtered.

There are even some people whose lives are worse than that of cattle and horses.

The people here are well fed and clothed, and they can clearly give birth to law and order, but they are so backward, and under theocracy, it is actually a kind of slavery.

It's really unpleasant.

"Why kill him?

Killing your own kind will make you feel happy!

Then I'll kill everyone in this city, and guess I'll laugh? ”

As soon as Gu Zhi's words sounded, the tall guard suddenly found that his legs couldn't fall, and there was an invisible force that restrained him.

Drops of cold sweat appeared on the faces of the guards, and they suddenly found that their throats and eyes were a little itchy.

In the sky, all of a sudden, dark clouds covered the entire city, and thousands of thunder snakes with the thickness of bowls swam in the clouds, and as long as they cracked, the city could be turned to death.

"You see you are nervous, and you are still afraid, because there are your wives and children and friends in the city, and since you have humanity, why can't you empathize with this old man? You see him as an ant on the road, who can be trampled to death at will, so can I also see you as an ant and wipe it out. ”

Gu Zhi said word by word, and the sound of the words resounded for ten miles.

The tens of thousands of people in the city suddenly quieted down, panicked, and knelt down in the direction of the ancestral temple, and the high priest in a golden robe walked out of the ancestral temple, with an old face full of despair, looking at the sky in a daze.

How could such a powerful existence appear!

Gu Zhi stepped on Gao Dawei's face and smiled at him.

"Please be lenient......

His lips moved slightly, and cold sweat dripped, splashing fine dust.

Katsa –

There was a cracking sound, and it seemed like a head would burst open in the next moment.

"I'm not going to hear this kind of nonsense!

Why?

Why!

You don't laugh now! ”

Originally.

Compared with the law of the jungle in which primitive people used their own kind as food, what I hate more is the slavery of people who are well fed and clothed.

Meng beasts bite and eat humans at most, but people have a variety of ways to deal with people, as well as perverting torture.

Gu Zhi moved his feet away from the guard's face, got up and walked towards the city, the sound of footsteps was far away, but the guards and the old man didn't dare to get up, the kneeling ones continued to kneel, and the kneeling ones continued to lie down.

The roads in the city are paved with bluestone slabs, willows are planted on both sides of the road, and under the trees are rows of people who kneel in a row of people, who know how to kneel to make people feel comfortable compared to servants who do not know etiquette, as is the case now, they bow to the ground, their hands and foreheads are on the ground, their backs form a slope, and their buttocks are upturned.

Before Gu Zhi walked to the center of the city, the high priest in the ancestral temple knelt all the way over, this is a very good-looking old man, with a high nose and deep eyes, and even the wrinkles are very comfortable to look at, he came to Gu Zhi and touched Gu Zhi's straw sandals with his head.

"Your Excellency, please put away your divine power and give us a chance to atone for our sins."
