Chapter 53: The Origin of the Hanoi People
In the spring of March 27, the first emperor ordered Xu Fu to lead 500 boys and girls, plus more than 3,000 sailors and archers from the White House to carry a large amount of supplies from Magu Mountain into the sea to find the elixir of life for the first emperor, but they did not expect to encounter a storm at sea, when they went through a lot of hardships, and finally came to an island, but found that they were lost and did not know where they were.
The island was very desolate, but in the middle of the island stood a great gate of light, and everything inside the door was clearly visible, it was a plain, with all kinds of plants growing, and the fragrance of flowers drifted to the island through the light.
When everyone stepped into the Light Gate, they were horrified to find that the Light Gate behind them had disappeared, and they could only stay here from then on.
They also tried to travel the seas to find their way back, only to find that this was only an isolated continent, and the edge of the continent was the endless void, where there were no stars, no moons, and no darkness, and it was always in this state that seemed to be dusk and dawn.
After countless generations of exploration, they grew desperate and called this place the Forgotten Land.
They found a place that was inaccessible no matter how they walked, and after many years of exploration, they called it the Temple of Time.
They also discovered another mysterious place, where a very powerful force guarded it, and no living creature was allowed to approach.
Later, someone came near by chance, and everyone thought he was dead, but after many years, he came out of it, still in the same way as when he entered, and his friends and relatives who knew him had all become old men, and even his children were older than him.
So people called that place the place the place where time stood still, but this term was too long, and it was gradually changed to the land of eternity.
They also found a place where time was chaotic, and as opposed to the Eternal Land, there was a large area where people could age instantly, so people called it the Land of Aging.
As for the place where we first set foot in this Forgotten Land, it is also the place where the Kunjia people appeared, so it is called the Land of Exile.
It wasn't the same place it is now, and it was full of vegetation just like ours, but then there was a great war that made it full of red rocks.
We Hanoi people came here first, and the Kunjia people came thousands of years later than us, but their technology is countless times more advanced than ours.
When we first came, the beasts here were very terrifying, in order to survive, we had to be in a state of battle at all times, this was originally a very vast water area, we lived by the water, although the days were hard, but fortunately there was no contradiction inside, and everyone was happy.
Later, the Kunjia people also came here, they carried powerful technology, trying to enslave us, we fought for many years, and because of this competitive relationship, the development of both of us was particularly fast, we continued to study the Kunjia people, learn their technology, although we learned very little, but there was a certain degree of development.
Of course, the Kunjia people are also learning from us, our family concepts, our cultural customs, and our loyalty to our relatives have become the learning objects of the Kunjia people.
Because of the war, and the abundance of resources here, we had a brief period of prosperity, and when our cumulative number reached a million, an unexpected disaster struck, and then we realized that we and the Kunjia people were not enemies, but our common enemies were actually those bastards in the Eternal Land.
It's not a forgotten place at all, it's a breeding place.
Those bastards in the Eternal Lands will open portals to all human planets in our universe, tempting us into the Forgotten Lands, and then let us develop and recuperate here until we have reached a certain level, and they will come and harvest.
Their first harvest of us caused us to lose 9/10 troops, and together with the Kunjia people, we put aside all contradictions and fought the enemy together, but the enemy was too strong, and in the end it ended in our crushing defeat.
It was also that great war that turned the entire exile into the Red Rock Gobi, and this piece of water into a low plain.
They didn't kill us all, they didn't kill all the children, they didn't hurt the old people, they just kidnapped our young adults.
This has happened six times in history, and unfortunately, you will most likely go through it with us for the seventh time.
Meng Qingxiao frowned and listened, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "How often do they come?" ”
"There should be no exact time for this, I have to go back and check to know, anyway, they think we are almost recuperated and will come over, the first time we had a million people, the second time we didn't have that many people, but there were more than 800,000 people, and finally this time we also had more than 500,000 people."
"The reason why we are killing each other now is to artificially reduce the number of personnel, and at the same time improve everyone's combat effectiveness in this way, now we have always controlled the population within 300,000, as long as it exceeds 300,000, we will do everything possible to reduce the number of personnel, such as the survival challenge of the green bamboo forest you see now, they are not guilty to death, but for the safety of all mankind, they must die."
Meng Qingxiao was most disgusted to hear this kind of words, why sacrifice some people for the safety of all mankind, what kind of bullshit reason is this, since you want to die, why don't you high-level people die?
Everyone has the right to live, and it is fascist to easily deprive others of their life and death.
So he immediately glared at him and said viciously: "I think it is you self-righteous fellows who deserve to die the most, you think that your own life is more noble than the life of others, and everyone who thinks this way deserves to die." ”
This person was not angry, he laughed instead, and said to Meng Qingxiao: "I don't object to you if you want to build an absolutely fair society, not only do I not object, I will support you, as long as you are willing to become the king, I will support all your decisions." ”
"You haven't talked about it for a long time, why do you want me to be the king?"
"That's it." The man said, "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Zhao Zhe, and I am the patrol envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty, who is responsible for traveling around the world, collecting people's suffering, and then reporting to the King of Qin. ”
"Then you are not a big official, you want me to be the king, you are suspected of rebellion."
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, it's not me who makes you king, it's Jing Gong, in our Great Qin Dynasty, even the King of Qin has to obey Jing Gong's decision."
"It's the emperor, I know this kind of person, who puts himself above the emperor, they usually don't end well."
Zhao Zhe said helplessly: "Jinggong doesn't ask about the world, his old man has worked hard all his life, he is working hard for the fate of mankind, and his lifelong wish is to lead us out of the forgotten land and return to our hometown." ”
"I see, this kind of person is very respectable, I take back what I just said." Meng Qingxiao was in awe, "You better return to the topic, why do you want me to be the king?" ”
"Because you are the chosen one."
"Don't use this set of feudal superstitions to fool me, ordinary people may believe it, do you think I will believe it?" Meng Qingxiao said disdainfully, "Who is the sky, and who is qualified to be called the sky?" ”
"Hehe, listen to me."
"There is an ancient book in our forgotten land, which is still being updated, it is called "Chronicle of the Light Wheel", and the fact that you will come here before the 3 million light wheels has been recorded on it."
"Holy, really?"
"The original text is like this, you see if it can match: after a thousand rounds, there will be a chosen person to come, who is the saint of the ancestral land of our human race, if he is the master, he can lead my clan back to the ancestral land."
"Finished?"
"It's over."
"That's it, what does this mean!"
"This is a history book, not a biography, and besides, the chronicles of the ancients are concise and to the point."
Meng Qingxiao's heart is still quite shocked, he has never believed in the set of fortune telling, of course, Zhou Yi gossip is regarded as a classic, but it does not refer to divination, but for the ideas spread by the book itself.
Meng Qingxiao thought for a while and asked, "From the story you told above, it can be seen that you are indeed earthling, and you are the descendants of Xu Fu." ”
"Xu Fu's deeds are very famous even now, and the current historians have two conjectures about Xu Fu's whereabouts, one is that they disappeared and eventually died in the sea, and the other is that they arrived on a small island overseas and settled, I really didn't expect you to come here."
"Am I the only one who has been here for so many years, I mean besides you."
"Of course not, there will often be people who are teleported here in the future, but you are the only one who meets the conditions of the chosen one."
"How can you confirm that I'm a saint?"
"I can't confirm it, and I don't have the ability to do it, but Jing Gong can confirm that no one will doubt his old man's words."
"Speaking of which, dare I ask what your real name is?"
Meng Qingxiao no longer concealed it, and said, "My name is Meng Qingxiao." ”
"Were any of your ancestors saints?"
Meng Qingxiao nodded and said: "Yes, it is Mencius, whose real name is Meng Ke, a figure in the Warring States Period, if you have history books, you should know this character, because he was born at least a few decades earlier than your ancestors left the ancestral land, he is as famous as Confucius, and later generations are known as the two sages of Confucius and Mencius." ”
"Hehe, isn't this right, the ancients didn't deceive me."
Meng Qingxiao asked in disbelief, "Is anyone really so accurate?" ”
"The study of easy reasoning is complex and profound, and it is not for a mediocre person like me to say anything, but Jinggong has never made a mistake, and I am convinced of this."
Meng Qingxiao said: "I don't have much interest in not being the king, but my goal is indeed to return to my hometown, if I have to be the king to return to my hometown, then I don't mind being your king." ”
Zhao Zhe praised: "Have you ever thought that it is your mentality that makes you have the possibility of becoming a king." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, life in the world, no matter who can not avoid a good word, even if it is a person who has no desire and no desire, he also needs to dress and eat, as long as he has life needs, then he must have interests appeal."
Meng Qingxiao said helplessly: "You have to change your habit of talking at length, and it is really difficult to expect you to explain it clearly in one sentence." ”
"Hehe, profit does not necessarily refer to money, it can also refer to power and divine skills, and even refers to the yearning for the unknown."
"Alas!" Meng Qingxiao was completely defeated by this guy.
"It's in everyone's interest to make you king, do you understand?"
"How can it be in everyone's interest for me to be called king, can you just treat me as a three-year-old child, do you explain the same to three-year-olds?"
