There are two main types of bad weather in the hanging garden. One is heavy rain, and the other is strong winds.

It was raining heavily on the first day, and during this time, strong winds began to blow.

What had been thought to be a subtle wind suddenly gathered strength as it traveled between the land, and it carried the dust and rock chips floating on the land all the way into the air, piercing under the dome, and letting out a long, earnest groan. The suspension cables in the air vibrated in place, and the cable car swayed from side to side.

At that time, Gu Chuan roughly described the context, hiding the role they played in the jellyfish's body, only to meet by chance; It also changed the background of the netherworld, not to say that it was in the air, but it was a water creature in a piece of water.

"It's interesting, but it's still not a good example."

Elder Black commented:

"Because the time of the phenomenon is so short, according to your speculation, it only happened in a moment of chance travel, in the course of all migrations...... Only a small amount of time in life. That's it...... As long as you participate in the necessary part of your life, you may be able to achieve some kind of stability...... Unfortunately, even the total length of time that the conjecture phenomenon existed was very short. ”

"......Short-lived," Gu Chuan said, "but in the end, there may be several generations, maybe more than ten generations." ”

"This ...... Isn't it short enough? ”

The Black Elder Dragon shook his head and asked with a smile:

"Travelers from all over the world, since you feel the existence of different cultural customs in different places, imagine how much time it takes to form a custom, a collective habit that is not very important. One generation or two generations? ”

"This ......"

The outsiders were confused by Elder Black's focus. Elder Black babbled a lot, and on the surface, it didn't seem to have much to do with the political situation inside and outside the kingdom. However, the form of the settlement where various creatures live together, as well as the examples of the two types of ants it cites, make the attentive traveler think of the old days when the two lived together and the current human system expelled the dragons.

Most of the people who walk outside have encountered risks, and they are not simple people.

Some outsiders are worried that the chaos in the hanging garden has not disappeared, and they are afraid that they will say something wrong. Other outsiders want to speak, but they don't even understand the meaning of humanities and customs. You know, custom is actually a highly abstract and upper-class term.

And the outsiders who understand and want to curry favor with the Hanging Garden regime are also quite difficult to talk to.

Fortunately, everyone could see that the Black Elder Dragon seemed to be in a good mood, so a few outsiders plucked up the courage to guess, and some of them were right.

The Black Elder Dragon said:

"Yes, it is about four to six generations, that a certain etiquette formed in the grandfather's time is passed on to the father's time, and is enough to spread and inform other people of the same generation, and when the time comes to pass it on to the children, if it is competitive, and if it still exists, it is almost close to a certain custom."

At this time, the time counting method used by the hanging garden shows a peculiar charm and is more accurate than the conventional counting time.

The young man, who had always been interested in measuring time, realized this, but did not say a word, and silently hid in the crowd.

The stranger who had guessed tightened his clothes, stood in the gale, and said:

"But, Councillor, how do you know for sure?"

The wind blew on the Black Elder Dragon's body.

The terrifying giant did not swing, and with a slight flap of its wings, it interrupted the wind. At the same time, it smiled deliciously:

"The way to record is simple, as long as ...... Wouldn't it be nice to write them down one by one in chronological order and compare the results before and after? ”

This incredible answer made the young man look up again. Because this method is impossible for ordinary people, who can only live for two or three generations, where can they be counted?

- But no, the Black Elder Dragon is right...... Because it's an elder dragon.

According to the confessions of the people along the way, the elder dragons are all existences that have lived for more than a thousand generations.

According to the definition of the Hanging Garden, a generation is the time from birth to the reproduction of the next generation, so the conversion to the earth is about twenty years, which means that the elder dragons may have mostly lived for 20,000 years.

"If I think about it......"

In terms of the history of the development of the earth, 20,000 years ago, even the extremely ancient Xia Dynasty did not appear, and it was still at the end of the late Homo sapiens and Paleolithic periods. Suppose there is a living creature that can live for 20,000 years...... It is only natural to witness the historical changes of the Hanging Garden and record them all.

This is a terrifying history for human beings, which is enough to witness the ancient Homo sapiens from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age, and then to the blossoming of civilization, and the neon lights are hung all over the land that used to raise all things.

But for the elder dragon of Qiongqiu, it's nothing more than ...... Life is a great thing to look at.

Now, the tens of thousands of years of eternal dynasty has fallen, and the fat body of the last elder dragon who chose to help the human line is completely lying on the rock, casually telling a story that is too old:

"The modern Hanging Garden human beings are the 1,216th to 1220th generations that I have recorded. Do you know how much has changed in such a huge history? ”

No outsider could answer.

Some outsiders don't even have the abstract idea of imagining the size of the number. In their minds, their ancestors 10,000 generations ago should be no different from them now.

The Black Elder Dragon knew that this group of outsiders belonged to the scarcity of outsiders, and he didn't have much knowledge. The surrounding bureaucrats became intrigued and interjected into the dialogue, saying that they also wanted to hear the stories of the ancients.

The Black Elder Dragon said calmly:

"About 1,230 generations ago, I came up with the idea of recording the lineage of each generation."

The birth of this idea can be regarded as a coincidence.

At that time, the concept of dynasty and title was not clear, and elders and monarchs existed in the form of "wizards" similar to primitive tribes and "head wolves" of fauna. At that time, the Black Elder Dragon was among the alien dragons, and even if they were excluded, there were many people who served. After the death of the original lineage of those who served him, they were replaced by the descendants of this lineage.

At that time, the black elder dragon noticed a clue.

Unlike other dragons who only cared about the allosaurus itself, this ugly dragon with a ruined appearance gave the same scrutiny to all living things.

Its cloudy eyes swept over the group of bureaucrats, and said blandly:

"Anyway, you're grinding the stone now, but with a steel tool. I don't know if you can still remember that your ancestors first used the grinding stone method of smashing, which is to put the selected stone on the ground, and then use another stone to hit this stone, so as to hit the stone chip you want. I miss this approach...... Because it was this method that first shaved off the necrotic scales from my body. ”

"But then people changed to a method of stone grinding, which I call the indirect strike method, which is to place a bone on the stone, then hold a stone, hammer the bone, and then make the stone under the bone fall the stone chips."

At that time, these stone flakes would be used by the people of the Hanging Gardens to chop and scrape and make various shapes and shapes that resemble axes.

"This kind of change has completely spread to the time of the entire Qiongqiu human system...... It is about four generations, the most period, and the indirect strike method accounts for about a quarter of the share of the technique? ”

It says.

"Very fast, isn't it? But it was also eliminated quickly. But there is one method that lives a long time, and that method is now called the grinding method. It only took six generations for the new grinding method to completely occupy all the stone tools in the hanging garden...... Now you call it 'production', that's good, it's a necessary part of stone tool production. And its disappearance took more than 300 generations, which is very long. ”

The travelers whispered about it, and some people didn't quite understand the Black Elder Dragon's words.

The bureaucratic paperwork around the Hanging Garden, which already had historians, historians, and stone collectors, took the initiative to tell the history of the Hanging Garden, which was a great piece of information for them.

The Black Elder Dragon continued unhurriedly:

"But a long time ago, the skin color of the Hanging Gardeners was dark and hairy, but now you see each other with white skin and not too much hair...... Hehe, you might as well guess what this time scale will be? ”

No one can answer.

The face of the bureaucracy in the hanging garden is not very good-looking.

When the outsiders saw this, they felt that they should not listen to such things. In the course of their travels, or they themselves are simply people who are unwilling to tell such ugly history to outsiders.

The judgment of "unpleasant" originates from "aesthetics".

Some unaware outsiders casually guessed again. This time it's either too big or too small for anyone to guess.

The Black Elder Dragon looked down at everyone and said:

"Five hundred generations, it took more than five hundred generations, and then it is still ...... There are only minor changes. ”

Then, its gaze returned to Gu Chuan's body.

When the young man who had hidden in the crowd looked up again, he was facing the cloudy eyes. The dragon said:

"That's why I said, it's too short, at least a hundred generations, to be considered a 'stable' form."

The grand history is turned into learning material in the brain of the alien dragon in front of him.

The changes and developments it knows, the veins of knowledge that have formed in its mind, or the young people who depend on the history of the earth have gone beyond it.

The young man didn't force a conversation, but only bowed his head and said perfunctorily:

"Yes, Elder, I'm thinking less."

Hearing this, the black elder dragon was momentarily excited. It has realized that, while this group may have traveled more than it has, its observation of the world is not very good.

Then the topic is over. It says:

"I still have some time, I can talk about your travel in Qiongqiu, or what you saw and heard before you arrived in Qiongqiu, I am also very interested in this, and I hope that all guests from outside will not hesitate to share."

Until here, the outsiders were calm.

Because these are the things that the Foreign Secretary has asked, I will communicate with them. As for the Foreign Affairs Department's statement that some people were unwell and could not see the Black Elder Dragon, in the minds of most of the visitors, it was precisely because there might be something in their words that angered the dragon.

A few people spoke up with confidence.

More people saw Elder Hei Long as an observer, and they also spoke to each other, and as a result, a situation of rushing to speak and interjecting was formed. Some people were in front, surrounding the dragon, waiting for the dragon to speak. Some people are behind, and when they see the person in front of them talking, they will form a group of two or three according to their usual habits, and discuss the words of the person in front of them in a whisper.

The wind howls and brings dust. The human voice is mixed in the wind and becomes the bottom sound of the world, as if it has suddenly moved from the collective military training link to the free activity link, and the people are noisy for a while. Seeing this scene, the bureaucrats inside and outside the stone building secretly scolded this group of outsiders in their hearts for being as vulgar as the Savage Kingdom, but they didn't say a word on the surface, and they didn't go to order and force quiet, but waited for the idea of the Black Elder Dragon.

They knew that the Black Elder Dragon's ability to process information was stronger than theirs.

At that time, the Black Elder Dragon did not speak, but slowly shifted his gaze while listening.

It was an open space, not much of a place, and it was the place where the Black Elder Dragon was active on the Seventh Island, surrounded by some stone buildings.

The main rock on the Buzi side, there is a lot of soil here, and when the wind blows, it is quite dark and neon that can't be stopped.

Gu Chuan was on the side of the mummy, standing on the edge of a rock.

The mummified man asked:

"You've passed through Buzi, haven't you?"

Gu Chuan's hand was hidden in his sleeve, and he replied absentmindedly:

"Yes."

"Have you seen my companions?"

"Companion, what does it look like?"

The mummified man compared the appearance of a durian, and Gu Chuan understood:

"I've seen a similar one, hmm, is it called Mushu?"

"Yes......"

It was just that the mummified man was halfway through his speech when the air suddenly fell silent. He walked past the fat-clothed young man in front of him and saw that the elder dragon's gaze was falling on them.

He felt a pang in his heart, and in Gu Chuan's puzzlement, he turned sideways and stepped aside, knowing who the elder dragon's gaze was on.

Gu Chuan looked sideways and knew it.

He turned around, took two steps forward, and came to the crowd in front of him, and heard the voice of the elder dragon resounding in two worlds at the same time:

"You're from the Netherworld. The location of the cloud wall, I remember, was at the northernmost point of Buzi. Elder Long said, "Bu Zi is a backward place, and you said to the people of the Foreign Affairs Department that you had just entered Bu Zi and were separated from your companions, and Qiongqiu should have left a bad impression on you. ”

"Not really...... In my eyes, Qiongqiu is still beautiful. ”

Said the young man.

As he spoke, he slightly sensed the emotions around him through the dragon's heart horn. Most outsiders don't have any emotional fluctuations in their conversations.

There are mood swings in slightly distant places. He looked sideways at where the bureaucracy was. For some reason, they seemed a little nervous when the Black Elder Dragon mentioned Bu Zi. And when Gu Chuan said that it was very beautiful, they were a little relieved.

This vision made Gu Chuan more sure of a certain thought that rose in his heart.

The Black Elder Dragon continued to ask:

"Then what happened to you in Buzi, can you tell me about it?"

At this point, everyone thought it was a normal conversation and became noisy again.

The young man was closer to the Black Elder Dragon, his left hand clenched into a tight fist in his sleeve. At this distance, he can launch an assassination attempt at any time.

The weapon given by the snake is a weapon that can be integrated into the body. It was a small piece of sharp metal that melted into the bone. Originally, it was a strange thing used by the army of the Hanging Garden to execute the silver elder Long Tianheng, but after Tianheng broke his tail, his body could move, and his tail could also move, and the two escaped together, so he took away the strange thing left on the tail.

After the snake said that he would kill the target and give him a weapon, Gu Chuan expressed that he might not be able to do it.

"Hehe, actually, you don't have to worry too much about this."

At that time, the serpent said:

"Suppose a hostile tribe, a hostile merchant, they have a traitor, ready to take refuge in you, to support your deeds, to defeat your enemies for you. But after defeating the enemy, you have a new enemy, and this enemy has nothing to do with this betrayer, will you reuse this betrayer? ”

This question is difficult for Gu Chuan to answer.

He had never encountered such a scene in his life, and in the previous life in his dream, he had never even been a subordinate, and he was his subordinate, so naturally he would not have a similar experience.

The serpent said:

"No, people love betrayal, only acts of betrayal, but traitors are never welcome. Traitors are less popular than open enemies. Whoever betrays once can betray the second time, and whoever betrays his companions for the sake of profit, no one can believe that he will be able to stick to the second camp...... Unless he becomes the supreme leader himself! But even then, he could betray his men. Even if it's an Elder Dragon, it's the same. ”

The camp in which it was located was indeed victorious in a protracted war.

But the problem is that it is an alien dragon after all, and it is an elder of an alien dragon, not a human line.

"As far as I know," continued the serpent with a grin, "it has a good reputation at the bottom, and that's because people still worship us... But in the bureaucratic system of human domination, its outliers are destined not to have many friends. Therefore, you have a great chance, but ...... It's still about finding the right moment. ”

All kinds of thoughts from the past can't help but linger in the minds of young people. The words of the snake, the heavenly rime, the female official, the black elder dragon and other living beings surfaced in his memories one after another.

Seeing this, the black elder dragon lowered his head and looked at the young man at eye level.

The huge head, like a giant curved wall, stood in front of the little man.

"You're hesitant? Your complexion is pale. ”

It says.

"Indeed."

He felt unusually heavy.

"What's wrong? Did you see something? Do you have a bad impression of Qiongqiu? ”

The Black Elder Dragon's voice was small. But the bureaucracy on the outside also realized something and turned their heads. And the young man stood before the dragon and said,

"Chaos...... My impression of Joan Qiu is actually chaos. When I was in Buzi, I saw a lot of alien dragons. These dragons mingled with people and captured me. ”

The terrifying dragon lifted its head, its gaze changing slightly. Its voice sank to the extreme:

"What do you see? Tell me! ”

The young man did not hesitate any longer, and his mind was cleared to the extreme, and he said:

"What I want to ask is, is Bu Zi fighting?"
