Chapter 132: Public Post Station

Du Zheng drove off the highway and onto a national highway, and the scenery on the side of the road began to brighten. The distant mountains are like daisies, and the roadsides near are tea plantations, and occasionally villages and towns are dotted in front of the mountains. After the car window was opened, he breathed in the fresh air of the southern countryside, and his mood was much better than when he first came out.

At this time, only mahjong could still say the words of the scenery, he suddenly raised his head from the tablet and said, "This big and small Yin Binggou is a bit interesting." ”

Luo Qi looked at the clear sky outside and the mist falling from the mountains, and secretly congratulated himself that they were not going to Qianzhou. The scenery here does not have a trace of yin air, and it is completely an idyllic scene of human beings. He moved his stiff neck, and the history book that Guan Xinyue brought out was spread on his lap, probably the speculation he found in the hand-drawn map in the book was too far-fetched, so just now Du Zhengyi just shook his head and said nothing.

Mahjong didn't seem to have listened to them since he got the tablet, he had been pondering the map, his fingers turning the map around. When no one answered, he continued, "This is a place name for man, and it is certainly not a place name for modern humans. The area is mountainous, and human villages are distributed according to the terrain, so the distribution is not as even as in the northern plains. But if you look closely, there is not even a natural village near the big and small Yin Binggou, isn't this a bit too evil. ”

"Since this is the ancient settlement of your mage, you must have fought a lot of battles, right? The legend may have come from here. Guan Xinyue said, "Is it possible that the way you fight the war is too fancy, and in the eyes of the onlookers, it is simply a ghost fight?" ”

"I've definitely fought a lot." Mahjong grinned, as if saying this also gave him a toothache, "But we are still very elegant in fighting, and there is a chance for you to see Du Zhengyi fight up close." I always feel that it is not as ugly as the ancestors fighting, and the file makes humans think that it is a group of yin ghosts pinching. ”

"Didn't you mention the sandbox yesterday? Wouldn't that kind of enchantment-like approach make humans feel strange to see? Guan Xinyue asked again.

"No, the sandbox's enchantment makes it impossible to see what's going on inside." "It's like being in another space." ”

Guan Xinyue seemed to think of something, her face was a little bad, as if she didn't dare to say anything further, and it looked like she was going to get motion sickness. Mahjong asked her again if she was uncomfortable, and she said slowly, "Will you drive the corpses to fight?" Like the legendary corpse chaser? ”

Mahjong did hesitate this time, he put down the tablet, crossed his hands together, and couldn't make up his mind for a while. It's not for nothing that there is to drive away the dead, but it's a page of shame for mages, and mages today are often reluctant to admit that they did it.

Before he could figure it out, Roach said, "Unlikely." ”

"Why?" Mahjong asked subconsciously.

Du Zhengyi said, "Necromancy has been extinct for three hundred years, and almost no one can use it now. Even if you go back three hundred years, there have been at least nearly two thousand years before a mage has used this kind of trick on a large scale. Since the local area is called Yin Binggou, being able to become a soldier is a hint of scale. If there had been a large-scale carrion of golems there 2,000 years ago, it is unlikely that the locals still retain the name of the place and dare not live in it to this day. Two thousand years is a long time. ”

"That's right." Mahjong breathed a sigh of relief and followed Du Zhengyi's train of thought and said, "That is to say, there may still be some ruins in the local area, which are still scary until modern times." So what could it be? In the field of human vision, what can Yin Binggou refer to? ”

"Dead man's ditch." Rocky said lightly in front.

Even Du Zhengyi, who was driving, glanced at him, "What does the dead man's ditch mean?" ”

"It's a lot of people dying at the same time." "It needs to be buried centrally. ”

"Is the plague dead?" Guan Xinyue said in the back, and she didn't even notice that she started talking to Luo Qi again.

"People generally call that kind of place a mass grave, not a Yin Binggou." Luo Qi said, he remembered that Du Zhengyi's parents had died of the plague, and he was not very comfortable when he mentioned this, so he secretly glanced at Du Zhengyi and hurriedly brought the topic, "No, that one will not be so scary, and the scale will not be so huge." I don't think this name has anything to do with the mage, the ditch is the valley, which means that there must have been a whole human army buried in the two local valleys. I think the scale is at least hundreds of thousands, so it can be called Yin Binggou. Yin soldiers must refer to the dead army, and the Yin soldier ditch is the valley where the dead army is buried. Mage warfare has never been on the scale of a human being, we don't have that many people, we can't afford that kind of battle, and we have never killed so many people in a single battle, so it's still a relic of humanity. Hundreds of thousands of dead bodies are buried in the valleys, and when it rains, or when there are flash floods, some of the bones may be washed out. So whether it's legends or fears, they will be passed down from generation to generation on the locals. ”

"You wouldn't be talking about the Battle of Changping, would you?" Guan Xinyue said in surprise, "Did the Battle of Changping take place there?" ”

"It's not just the Battle of Changping that buried hundreds of thousands of bones." Luo Qi said, "The tragedy of the war during the Warring States period is not very incomprehensible to later generations, and the Battle of Changping is just one of the typical examples. ”

Du Zhengyi couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said, "You are clear about other people's affairs, and you don't know much about your own affairs." ”

Luo Qi licked his lips embarrassedly, "This place probably has a complicated history, I don't know what opportunity they seized in Qianzhou." ”

Guan Xinyue suddenly asked suspiciously, "Since there are many mages in this place, what are the mages doing when humans are fighting?" ”

The three mages in the car suddenly fell silent, and no one answered Guan Xinyue's words for a long time. Guan Xinyue waited for a while before realizing the strangeness of the atmosphere, raised her head and looked at the three people, and finally Luo Qi said, "Sometimes it will be mixed together, and it can't be confused at all." ”

"Forget it," Guan Xinyue said happily, "Let's not talk about the history that is not clear." Where are we going? ”

Mahjong looked out with her, they had already left the national highway and drove into a village road without asphalt, maybe not even a village road, surrounded by mountains and unable to see the village, and even if there was no road, I am afraid that there would be no road any further.

Mahjong suddenly realized, "There is a public post here?" You know, Du Zhengyi! Are the locations of all the public post stations on this continent in your head? ”
