Chapter 356: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
Boundary Town!
Luo Fan was stunned!
The conversation between Luo Fan and the old man was said clearly, and Liang Jian and the others, as Venerables, naturally heard without hindrance, and they could hear clearly. Anyone who hears the old man's words is like a thunderbolt from the sky!
"Old man. Luo Fan said a little hurriedly, "Here, it used to be called Jiezhen, which Jiezhen is it?"
"What other boundary town could it be? Naturally, it's the boundary of the border. This is the junction of Mingyue City and Qingxi City in Zhenze Mansion, after this town, to the west is Qingxi City, to the east is Mingyue City. About 100 years ago, it was renamed Tanxi Town. Alas, now there are fewer and fewer old men, and the people outside only know Tanxi Town, not Jiezhen!"
"It's actually called Jiezhen......" Luo Fan was speechless for a while.
"What?" The old man's hearing was not bad, and when he heard Luo Fan's self-talk, he laughed and said, "Hou Sheng, this boundary town is not unusual, the old man also followed a noble man back then, and experienced a lot of places, not to mention this four-yuan continent, it is this Xigeng Empire, called the boundary town, and there are countless wow!"
"There are still many boundary towns?" Luo Fan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.
"That's nature. The old man said slowly, "Generally speaking, when the empire is founded, those people in the upper echelons can govern all the county towns, which is very good, where is the energy to manage the villages and towns below? But where the city and the city, the government and the government of the dividing line, will be habitually called the boundary town, and later, some towns developed, in order to facilitate the distinction, they changed their names, our Tanxi Town is how it came. ”
The old man's explanation is also reasonable, after all, the mainland is vast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to leave a city in their lives, and it is normal for some villages and towns with the same names to appear.
"Old man. Xi'er walked over and said crisply, "You just said that you used to be a cultivator, right?"
"That's right!" the old man sighed, "It's a pity that when I was young, I didn't do anything more, and I caused a lot of right and wrong, and finally caused a big disaster, alas......"
Xi'er didn't care to listen to the old man's feelings, and interrupted the old man's chatter almost unreasonably, she asked, "Excuse me, have you ever heard of a strong man in Jiezhen, named Xuanfeng?"
"Xuanfeng?" the old man was stunned for a moment, as if he fell into a memory after hearing Xi'er talk about Xuanfeng, and after a long time, the old man said slowly, "Xuanfeng, but the pride of my world!"
"Is there really a mystery?" everyone was stunned!
"Old man. Luo Fan hurriedly said, "Then can you tell us about this senior?"
"Well, if you don't mention it, I can't even remember. The old man nodded, "Since you want to hear it, I'll talk to you about it." This Xuanfeng is the pride of my town. About 300 years ago, there was a young man in my town, whose parents died when he was a child, but everyone in my town grew up with a big face, and he really ate hundreds of meals and wore hundreds of clothes. Later, when Xuanfeng's predecessor was eight years old, he participated in the awakening of Yuanli, and he was actually a super-genius! ”
"Senior, do you know which academy it is?" Luo Fan hurriedly asked, generally speaking, super geniuses, at least first-class academies, can be retained. Although there are many first-class colleges on the mainland, if you really want to find them, you can still find them.
"Who said it was the academy?" the old man's eyes widened, "This big man doesn't belong to any academy, so when he proposed to accept apprentices, it is said that the first-class academy and super academy on the scene did not agree at all." Without a word, this big man had a conflict with the powerhouses of the super academy and the first-class academy. It is said that he beat eight people with one enemy and coughed up blood, and no one stopped him from accepting disciples. ”
"One against eight!" Luo Fan was shocked, generally speaking, most of the disciples who appeared in the boundary town were Yuan Wang, and one enemy eight at the Yuan King level, which showed that this person was also a super genius!
"Not bad. Xuanfeng's predecessor followed this big man out of Jiezhen, and three hundred years passed in a flash, almost fifty years ago, when Xuanfeng's predecessor returned to Jiezhen, he was already a Venerable! Tut-tut! In three hundred years, he has grown from a child to a big man, which is definitely the pride of Jiezhen! Not to mention, Xuanfeng's predecessor was grateful to Jiezhen for his kindness, and publicly stated that he would not leave Jiezhen and was willing to guard in Jiezhen. ”
"Wait. Luo Fan figured out that something was wrong, and he interrupted, "Senior Xuanfeng came back more than fifty years ago?"
"Yes, can my old man remember this big thing?"
"Then, Mayor Fork/Mayor, when did you come to Tanxi Town?" Luo Fan hurriedly asked.
"Be quiet, you dare to call the adult by his name?" the old man was frightened, and he whispered, "In this town, no one dares to call the mayor like that, it doesn't matter if you die, don't pull the old man!"
"It's the juniors who are reckless!" Luo Fan quickly apologized.
"It's okay, I see that you are also leaving, so go quickly, otherwise, with your temperament, sooner or later you will cause trouble!" the old man kindly reminded.
"Let's go!" Luo Fan said speechlessly, "But, old man, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Oh, I'm old, my energy is gone, and I'm always forgetful!" the old man patted his head in annoyance, and then continued, "They came to this town two hundred years ago, alas, what a sin!"
"Oh?" Luo Fan's heart moved, "What kind of evil method?"
"You guys, just listen to it, don't spread it, ordinary people really don't know, I just told you because you are a foreigner. The old man babbled for a while, and then he spoke, "Since they came to the town, the atmosphere of the town has changed, the people in the town used to be extremely enthusiastic, kind and charitable, although it is a town, they get along like a family, but since they came, especially after becoming the mayor of the town, they have formulated a series of bullshit requirements, and slowly, the people in the town rarely move around each other." ”
"Why do you want to do this?" Luo Fan asked curiously.
"Why, no one knows, maybe it's for the sake of care!" the old man shook his head, "Plus, they brought a curse!"
"What curse?" Luo Fan was shocked.
"Alas, I don't know if it's right or wrong to tell you, I can only say that after telling you, you should leave this place quickly!" the old man glanced at Xi'er and Linglong, shook his head and sighed, "Otherwise, you two little girls will be implicated!"
"Old man, say it quickly, let's leave after that!" Bright Sword couldn't help it.
"We call it the curse of the withering of life!" the old man looked sad, "The people in our town, including the people in the village below, all of whom have grown up girls, all of them suddenly appeared on the West Mountain one day when they were about fifteen years old, fell into a coma, and aged more than ten years in an instant. Some of the girls were already dead when they were found. Some of them can survive in time, but in the next time, they are sick and have no energy, and when they are pregnant and give birth, they often have two lives due to lack of strength, and those who are lucky enough to give birth to a child are also seriously injured, and it is extremely difficult to live a long life. ”
"Have you ever found the reason?" asked Luo Fan thoughtfully.
"No one knows why. The old man shook his head slowly, "Until more than fifty years ago, when the senior Xuanfeng came back, after he heard about it, he personally went to Xishan to investigate, and he also found nothing, but the strange thing, after he came back, no woman has ever appeared in this matter." As a result, Xuanfeng's predecessors won the support of everyone in Jiezhen, and everyone unanimously supported him as the new mayor of Tanxi Town. ”
"Oh, and that?" said Luo Fan with interest, "and in the end?"
"No one thought of it. The old man said helplessly, "Xuanfeng's predecessor only stayed in Jiezhen for ten years, and then suddenly disappeared before the mayoral election, and his whereabouts are unknown, so those people continue to serve as the mayor of Tanxi Town, until now, and the curse of withering life has continued to this day." ”
"Didn't they even think about leaving this place?" Xi'er wondered.
"Let's go, where can we go?" the old man snorted coldly, "Jiezhen and the villages below, several neighboring towns, and even, it is said that even east of Mingyue City, this situation has occurred, how can you let us ordinary people leave Mingyue City?"
"Old man, you're right, after all, the continent is too big!" Luo Fan sighed, "By the way, isn't there a sign that the whereabouts of Xuanfeng's predecessor are unknown?"
"Housheng!" the old man looked at Luo Fan meaningfully, "Why are you so curious about Xuanfeng's affairs?"
"Huh?" Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, and said with a haha, "Old man, do you want to hear the truth or falsehood?"
"Don't do this!" the old man waved his hand, indifferently, "I want to say what is your problem." ”
"Don't hide it from the old man. Luo Fan leaned down and said softly, "We are all Venerables, and in the future, there will be no more forked chickens/this person, and there will be no more curses of withering life!
"What?" the old man stood up in shock, his face sank, "In the future, when I haven't seen the world, I can't do it, and you can deceive me with lies!"
While a few people were talking, three young people suddenly ran out of the town, and they shouted while running in a hurry, "Come on, something happened to the town mayor!"
"What?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached out to grab a young man passing by, and shouted, "Erniu! What happened to the town chief's house?"
"It's dead, it's all dead!" said Erniu shuddered.
"Are they all dead?" the old man was stunned, his hand loosened, and he let Er Niu continue to run forward.
"Old man, in this case, would you like to continue to talk to the kid about Xuanfeng's predecessors?" Luo Fan asked softly.
"Good!"
