No one can say how big the territory of Nanban has been since ancient times, some say there are millions of mountains, some say that it is the end of the continent, and there is a land ten times larger than the Central Plains.

This statement has not been confirmed but it has always existed, because the history of Nanban for so many years is like this, every year there are people who can't survive are willing to gamble, willing to go over the mountains and mountains to find new hope, although there will be many, many people who will die, but in history, there are indeed many lucky people who find a new continent and then establish a new barbarian country!

At this time, Ma Yunchang and his gang were one of the refugees who fled from the mountains this time.

The scale of this group is not small, there are almost thousands of people, there are old and weak women and children, young and strong men account for more than half, but almost all of them are yellow and thin, hungry almost skinny, numb eyes, and a walking corpse.

"Brother Yun, it's been the tenth day, are you still leaving?"

The subordinate asked as he looked at the endless mountain in front of him and pursed his lips almost chapped.

"What can I do if I don't leave? Dead in this barren mountain? Or go back and die? Ma Yunchang turned his head and asked with bloodshot eyes.

Several people around immediately choked up when they heard this.

Get back? If the former family can still survive, who wants to leave their homeland?

Utopia. It's not a place for people anymore!

This monarch doesn't know what evil he has in, he has to collude with the Central Plains court, usher in a demon road, and arrange some ghost temples everywhere, the utopian country was originally the spirit snake of the spiritual cave of Xindi, and the best life in the southern barbarian countries in the past fifty years is them, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't need human sacrifice, but these two years are different, one ghost after another will build up the temple, gloomy and ghostly, at the beginning it was still sneaky, people kept missing, children disappeared, women disappeared, and old people disappeared.

Directly in the back, there is a ghost temple sacrifice that requires each family to have a child!

The method of human sacrifice was extremely cruel, the child cut off his limbs, skinned him alive, and poured it into a wine jar to soak for the so-called ghost generals in the ghost temple to enjoy.

Of course, the people disagreed, the people of the Southern Barbarians all believed in small gods, and the folk customs were fierce, so they naturally rose up, but when they reacted and wanted to resist, it was too late

The evil ghosts in the ghost temple can swallow all the gods and goddesses of their folk beliefs, and they will also pull the rebels' whole family to the ghost temple and peel their skin and cramp in front of everyone.

The southern barbarians are bitter, there is not much arable land, food is scarce, there are many miasma poisonous insects in the mountains, and they will die if they don't pay attention to it.

The imperial court had to collect taxes, and the minor gods of faith had to sacrifice blood and essence from time to time, and more ruthlessly, men and women had to sacrifice their bodies, so that they could barely get some gifts of food and medicinal herbs to survive.

The situation in the Wutu Kingdom is better, believing in the Earth Spirit Cave, the amount of blood and essence is not frequent, and you only need to go to the Earth Spirit Cave once a month to harvest food that can support a family.

Although those snake women in the Earth Spirit Cave are smelly and disgusting, the young and strong men only need to close their eyes and grit their teeth, and they will pass.

These days, I don't know how to live better than those Wudang countries and Mizusawa countries next door

I used to feel bitter, far less happy than the people of the Central Plains, but now it seems that people. Really be content, many times breaking the current life is not necessarily a better life, it is likely to be worse.

The ghost temple is repaired more and more, there are human sacrifices every year, the people in the city are almost bound and can't run, and the people in their villages still have a chance, no, after sacrificing a group of children, especially some family members, go to the city to buy goods, and see the fate of their own children, many of them cry on the spot and can't walk.

The growing appetite in the city has forced many people in the village to follow the example of their ancestors, intending to continue to walk deep into the mountains, just like the founding of the Utopian country, and find a suitable land for survival.

"But. . . We haven't eaten for three days, and this adult can stand it. Women and children can't stand it."

The man named Ma Yunchang looked around numbly, and sat on the ground with a wry smile: "That can't be helped, children and women starve to death here, it's better than going back to soak in the wine jar and feed those beasts." ”

Several people were silent, and then they all looked ahead with Ma Yunchang's gaze.

The deeper you go, the more you get into the miasma, the more you can't see the place from ten meters away, and you never know what you're going to face if you continue to walk inside, it could be hope, or it could be a centipede or toad bigger than a human being, swallowing you in one gulp

Nanban has always had no shortage of warriors to explore the mountains and find new lands to establish the country's legends, but these legends are accumulated from a lot of bones, it is really so good to find a new place, so many years, Nanban will not only have a hundred countries.

"Look, Boss!!"

All of a sudden, something amazing happened!

The fog in front of us suddenly lifted, revealing a dense forest, tall trees, and red fruits everywhere, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.

There is also the huge waterwheel above and below the mountain, so that the seemingly clear and sweet spring water runs through the entire mountain, like a work of art.

There are people who are stunned in an instant, they have never seen such a beautiful mountain!

"This, this, this"

"Water? Water!! ”

Many men who were already thirsty and crazy had their eyes shining when they saw this, and they desperately wanted to rush over, but they were forcibly stopped by Ma Yunchang and a few of the strongest men!

"Don't move, it could be a miasma hallucination!"

Ma Yunchang has a wealth of experience in this regard, Nanshan miasma has many effects, some can make people blind, some can make people's skin fester, and some, with colored mist, can make people fall into hallucinations, unconsciously fall into the abyss, fall to pieces!

This looks like a paradise in front of it, and if the ghost rushes over, will it be a swamp of poisonous snakes? Or is it just a cliff?

And this itself is not visually reasonable, he and the others are obviously in a barren mountain that is pouring out of thorns, how can it be that all of a sudden, in front of it is this kind of mountain villa that has been obviously reclaimed by others?

This huge waterwheel, this everywhere looks like a field, although it is covered with snow, but he can also see from the exposed black soil that it is extremely fertile land, I am afraid that only those good places in the Central Plains and Shandong have such good fertile soil.

How could Nanban have such a place?

But there are not many people as rational as him, most of them are already hungry and thirsty, they can't listen to people at all, and they rush into it desperately.

A crowd of people quickly forcibly rushed away from Ma Yunchang and a few people, and rushed to the picturesque mountain!

Ma Yunchang subconsciously closed his eyes in an instant, he couldn't even bear to see the fate of those blind dates, or being swallowed by a group of poisonous snakes to the bone, or falling off the cliff and falling directly into meat sauce, the key is that there are so many women and children inside.

But it's better than the previous days, at least I saw hope before I died, and at the last moment, as long as I died fast enough, in fact. It's a relief, right?

comforted himself like this, Ma Yunchang even felt calm.

But in the next moment, someone next to him helped him up.

"Boss, something isn't right, look!"

Of course something is wrong. Ma Yunchang smiled bitterly, is this obviously fake.

But when he opened his eyes, he was stunned, and saw that the group of people who rushed in were neither eaten by any monster nor fell off the cliff, but rushed into the painting-like mountain and reveled.

"This water is so sweet, quick, child, mother-in-law, come here!"

"This fruit, it's a big one, bring the child over, hurry!"

One by one, the men who drank the spring water and came back to their senses turned around one after another, beckoning their families, wishing that they would come over quickly, for fear of being robbed of everything.

"What's going on?" Ma Yunchang was completely stunned, is it true?

He got up cautiously, stumbled and squeezed through the crowd, and the moment he entered, he felt different.

It's not as cold as in the barren mountains, although it's cold, it's cold, but it's fresh, and the breath of sweet air makes him feel like he's floating.

Where is this?

"Hey, who are you?"

Suddenly, a thick scolding voice came, and everyone hurriedly looked up, there were two armored soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, and in front of them was a girl with a young face and a scholar's white clothes.

The girl looked good-looking, and in the eyes of these rough-skinned Southern Barbarians, the girl was as white and tender as a fairy, and she was wearing clothes that only those learned scholars in the Central Plains wore, which made people feel as if it was not simple.

A group of people came to a strange place, and they didn't dare to move for a while, Ma Yunchang saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly warned everyone not to mess around.

He has practiced martial arts, he can feel it, those two military men are not simple, in the winter, the snowflakes have not yet reached three feet of the body to vaporize, this kind of ability, he has only seen in those generals riding elephants in the Utopian country!

"My lords, we have fled from the country of Utopia, and I would like to ask, what kind of country is this? Which ruler is in charge? ”

In his heart, this should be a treasure country in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarians, which has not yet been officially announced to the public, this kind of thing is not unprecedented, some new places that have been developed, many people in order not to be harmed by those compatriots outside, are trying not to contact with the outside, and avoid making it public if they can.

It is said that the Utopian country was hidden for a hundred years at the beginning, and finally after there were 100,000 young and strong soldiers, it began to declare the establishment of the country and took the initiative to trade into the public eye.

This country has such a good land, and in his opinion, it must be a new country that has been hidden and has not developed for a long time.

It's really the blessing of the spirit snake mother, they can be regarded as choosing each other's positions.

"Utopia?" The big man who scolded just now sneered when he heard this: "I don't want to lie and find a decent person to say, now even the rich families in the Central Plains may not be able to successfully escort me to Jiangnan, you say you are from the Nanban?" ”

"Jiangnan?"

Ma Yun was stunned, isn't that the place of the Central Plains? I am obviously in the Nanban Mountain, and the route I take is also deep in the Nanban, how can I come to Jiangnan?
