320: It rained that year and it rains today
The Sixteen Kingdoms of Yanyun.
One country, one city.
There is smoke and rain, there is heat and dryness, there is perennial fog, there are cities full of trees, and there are whole countries built on a big mountain.
The Sixteen Kingdoms of Yanyun responded to Emperor Wu to open up the country, but they themselves were actually sects, or descendants of the former Kingdom of God.
They had an alliance with Emperor Wu back then, because they had a common enemy.
But they are all independent and live their own lives.
The state of Zhao is located between the mountains, which from a distance look like a besieged city, and in the middle is a plain, and on the plain is a patchwork of orderly houses.
The state of Zhao took the mountain as the city and the canyon as the gate.
On top of the mountain, there are palaces and caves of various sizes.
Only the monks who built the foundation could obtain a cave on the mountain, and of course, there were also people who liked to live in the city inside.
This city, a Zhao country, has a population of about three million people.
The name of the country is Zhao State, and the city is also known as Zhao City, so the surname Zhao here is the surname of Wang, and there are many people with the surname Zhao, but only the monks who build the foundation can enter the genealogy of the Zhao family.
There are many rumors about the surname Zhao, such as who broke through to the Purple Mansion and was awarded the title of Marquis, such as which Zhao family's son produced a genius-like disciple.
However, no one knows how the Zhao family obtained this place, and few people know who this place once belonged to.
Zhao is closed, self-sufficient, stable, this is the characteristics of Zhao State, there are few outsiders, because it is not easy for outsiders to settle here, in addition to the need for local people who hold more than ten years of household registration to guarantee, but also need to work here for five years, pay enough taxes, and every year must participate in the construction of bridges and paving such public welfare things.
If the monk wants to settle here, he needs the guarantee of a foundation building monk to be examined, and he also needs to join the patrol army here and serve Zhao Cheng for ten years before he can obtain Zhao Cheng's household registration.
Of course, after obtaining the household registration of Zhao Cheng, you can obtain a cave mansion.
This is on the surface, but in fact, the best guarantor has to be a person surnamed Zhao, and it is best to join a certain house of the Zhao family to be able to obtain household registration stably.
After obtaining the household registration, you will be able to obtain the basic protection of spirit stones and pills.
And there is also a secret realm in the Zhao country, and this secret realm is the foundation of the existence of the Zhao family and the Zhao country.
These secret realms, which are opened once every ten years, are a grand event for the Zhao family.
But it has little to do with foreign surnames and outsiders.
Over the years, the Zhao State has been very calm and stable, and what really wants to talk about the big thing is the change of the position of the patriarch of the previous Zhao family.
It's always raining recently, and Zhao Yan is not in a good mood, because whenever it rains, he can't help but think of the younger brother who disappeared freely.
She is the eldest daughter of Chengze Mansion, and she is also the oldest in the same generation, so she also knows a lot of things and remembers it deeply, she can't comment on her father, especially since her father is now not only a Jindan monk, but also the patriarch of the Zhao family, and the lord of the Zhao country.
In her mind, she attributed the fact that whenever it rained, to the fact that she might be older, and that although she still looked young, she hadn't met anyone new or made another friend for years.
Therefore, people and events in the past will always emerge at a certain scene.
The younger brother also ran in from outside on such a rainy day, shouting, "My mother is going to die." ”
But the whole house was quiet, and the people didn't dare to make a sound, and she, as a sister, could only watch.
He wanted to go to the courtyard where his father lived, but he was blocked.
So he could only run back and forth in the big house, begging for possible hope, and she remembered that she had the window open, and she was looking out of the window, and he ran under the window.
His body was wet, his hair and clothes were dripping with water, and her face was all dripping, and she couldn't tell if it was his rain or sweat, or tears.
All she remembered was that his eyes were red.
In his eyes, she saw hatred, she saw despair.
That day later, she heard that the wild woman of unknown origin had died, and that the brother had disappeared.

She also heard that her father asked someone to bury the woman, and she didn't inquire about where she was buried, so she didn't know, but it was certain that there was no tomb of her in the Zhao family's cemetery at all, because she hadn't seen it.
She had seen that woman, and she looked pitiful, with a pair of watery eyes, which seemed to be entangled in a fog, making people seem to be stuck in it, so what she heard the most when she was a child was that that woman was not a good woman.
As for her origin, she only heard that she came out of the polar night, and she didn't know if it was true or not.
She had always thought it was fake, that her mother and the other aunts had given the woman some bad things.
But now that I think about it, it's not impossible, after all, she herself has never said where she came from, and according to the time, her arrival was when her father traveled the world, and I heard that my father had been to the border of the polar night.
She suddenly wondered where the woman was buried.
So I found the two people who worked for my father back then.
Back then, those two were just Xuanguang monks, and now they are just foundation building monks, and one of them is still alive, named Liu Kun.
Liu Kun faced Zhao Yan, the eldest daughter of Chengze Mansion, who was already in the realm of Purple Mansion, and did not dare to hide it at all, and immediately told the soil where he buried that woman back then.
Zhao Yan asked him to lead the way again, and he didn't dare not lead the way.
After so many years, Liu Kun has reached his old age, but every time he recalls the situation of that day, he still feels incredible, but he doesn't dare to say it to outsiders.
He clearly remembered that when he and another went to bury the little wife of Chengze Mansion, it was raining heavily, and after he led someone to bury the coffin in the soil, he had already left, but when he looked back, he saw a woman standing in front of the grave.
When he wanted to look closely, but there was none, and he went back to the grave to see, and there was still nothing, it was all new mud that he had dug up when he was buried, so he never said anything about it.
After all these years, another colleague who was on this mission with him back then has died.
He is also dying, so he told Zhao Yan about how many years he had hidden along the way.
And Zhao Yan immediately thought of the disappearance of that younger brother.
A woman came here and took him away.
Who will it be? She was puzzled, but she didn't worry much, after all, so many years had passed.
The two of them came to the foot of a mountain, which was quite desolate, with some tombstones scattered near and far.
Liu Kun's memory is very good, probably because this incident is very impressive, even after so many years, he still looks for it all the way.
"Right over there, under the rocks, we chose this place at that time, just thinking that if the lord wanted to ask about it one day, we would be able to identify it." Liu Kun pointed to a pile of tall stones over there.
Zhao Yan didn't speak, followed behind Liu Kun, turned a bush and arrived, but Liu Kun suddenly stopped, as if he was startled by something.
Zhao Yan didn't ask, 'What's wrong', but quietly staggered a step, she saw that in front of the pile of white rocks that were almost more than one person high, there were three sticks of incense, and the incense had burned to the roots, but it was still not completely extinguished, and a wisp of smoke floated up.
In front of the three incense sticks, there was a pile of ashes on the ground, as if someone had burned a pile of paper money here.
She didn't see the grave.
He asked, "Are you sure you were buried here?" ”
"Miss, you can't be wrong." Liu Kun immediately replied: "It may be that the grave has been flattened for a long time, but I buried two bricks as a tombstone back then, and there were words engraved on it." ”
As he spoke, he walked over, and under the barren grass, he found a stone brick hidden in the dirt, and pulled out the stone brick, and wiped the mud off it, and she immediately saw the blurred words on it.
"Zhao's little wife, Yun Yihong."
Zhao Yan recognized it, although the handwriting was not clear, she still recognized it, she knew that it was just a mark made by Liu Kun.
Her gaze fell on the pile of ashes in front of the flat grave.
Who is worshipping her?
A chill flashed on her body for no apparent reason, and when she looked around, the sky was dark, and rain was dripping from the leaves.
The wind blew through the treetops, whimpering, like the suppressed cry of the younger brother running through the rain on a rainy day.
