Chapter 753: Change
100,000 mountains are endless.
Because of the topography, there has been no unified kingdom in this area since ancient times.
They are all independent villages.
Humans and demons coexist here.
Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are many demons and ghosts in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are wild beasts that have become spirits, as well as other strange things.
In short, it's not unusual to see anything here.
Fighting between stockades and stockades is commonplace.
The battle between the stockade and the monsters and beasts in the mountains is a daily occurrence.
But a hundred years ago, a man named Iha was born.
He led his own village to expand in the south and swallow it in the north, growing step by step.
In the end, 100,000 mountains were unified.
Although the scattered stockades hidden in the depths only nominally revered him as their leader, this was the first step in a thousand years for the 100,000 mountains.
The name Iha is so prestigious in the 100,000 Mountains that even children who have just learned to speak know it.........
The villages are more closely linked to each other, and there is no longer as obvious xenophobic resistance.
Although there are occasional minor frictions, large-scale conflicts rarely erupt again.
Therefore, when Li Ping'an and Lao Niu re-entered the 100,000 Mountain, they found two landscapes that were completely different from when they first arrived here.
"Buzz~"
The sounds of cicadas, songbugs, and various insects are transmitted to the ears through the cracks in the leaves and grass.
The little girl patted her ears, opened her eyes, and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.
Then he turned his head and grasped the fishing rod with his little hand.
The eyes are staring at the surface of the water without blinking.
"Be still."
The voice of great peace came from beside him.
"Hmm~"
The little girl turned her head to look at him, then turned her head back.
Goo dong goo dong~
The surface of the water suddenly bubbled.
Li Ping'an opened his eyes and said to the cat: "As long as the fairy is patient, he will catch a fish." ”
As he spoke, a few stones fell into the water.
The fish was frightened and ran away.
On the riverside stood a few boys dressed in stockade costumes, staring at Li Ping'an vigilantly.
"Who are you! Why come to us to catch fish? ”
Li Ping'an glanced at it with pity, but the fish that escaped was not angry.
"We are foreign travelers, and we did not know that this river was your river."
"Merchant?" One of the older children wondered.
Over the years, there will be a lot of caravans coming to the 100,000 mountains.
Especially when Iraq and Kazakhstan unified the region, providing a relatively safe and stable environment.
Whenever a caravan came, it would always bring something that the children had never seen before.
Sometimes I help the merchant move something, or I just get close to the other person.
You can get a few delicate pieces of candy or other novelties.
Therefore, for these children, the day when the foreign merchants came to the village was even more joyful than the festival.
"Down there's the Traveler." Li Ping'an said.
The kid nodded thoughtfully.
Yes, the merchants were all groups of wagons, and there was no end in sight.
But the man had only one ox with him.
Li Ping'an looked at the vigilant looks of several children, and bowed his head to the little girl.
"Is the fairy marzipan left?"
The little girl raised her head to look at him, and then looked at the children, as if she had guessed what Li Ping'an was going to do.
Reaching for the marzipan in his pocket, he seemed to be tempted to lie.
However, he stammered, "Fairy... Fairy.. No more, not a single one! ”
Li Ping'an stared at her.
The little girl took a deep breath and finally had to pull the marzipan out of her pocket.
Li Ping'an took the marzipan to greet a few children.
The child was a little wary at first, but soon came running over and tried to eat it.
His eyes lit up, and after a while, he was gone.
"Can you take us to your village?" Li Ping'an took the opportunity to say.
These children are still morals, and they know that things cannot be eaten in vain
After learning that Li Ping'an was from the Great Sui, these children relaxed their vigilance a little.
The caravan that traveled the most over the years came from the Great Sui.
After walking for more than an hour, I saw the whole picture of the village in the distance.
The staggered and cascading blue-tiled houses are stacked one after another, one after another.
The roads in the village extend in all directions, like the blood vessels in the body.
The house is built on a hill, and the upper floors are made of wood and bamboo for piles, floor slabs and walls.
The lower floor is supported by wooden columns, forming stilt columns.
The first floor is used for livestock or farming tools, and the second floor is used for daily living.
The third layer is used to store grain, which can also avoid snakes, insects and moisture.
The whole village is like a paradise surrounded by mountains.
The road to the outside world is much more neat than before.
When I asked, I learned that the width of the entire road of the 100,000 mountains was uniformly specified, similar to the car track system in the Qin Dynasty.
It is better to facilitate the communication between the stockades and the villages, and it is also more convenient to manage.
Li Ping'an is still quite happy to see people living in the 100,000 mountains live a better life.
Instead of being immersed in the fighting and fighting between the stockades all day long.
Now it seems that it is only a hundred years.
The barbarian land, which was considered unteachable by Confucian students, was already a thriving scene.
The people in the stockade seem to have been accustomed to outsiders dressed in strange costumes.
This is also the time when caravans flock to it.
So it's just a matter of taking a second look.
On the side of the road, there are large bowls of herbal tea that are unique to the village.
In the past, there would be no such thing, and it was only when the caravan should appear in the stockade that there would be vendors specializing in herbal tea.
Those foreign businessmen were generous, and they were willing to drink a bowl of herbal tea when they were thirsty.
It's just that the price is a bit outrageous, so I had to exchange some things for three bowls of herbal tea to drink.
Li Ping'an took a sip of herbal tea while asking the guy who sold tea about the 100,000 mountains.
After hearing that the current 100,000 mountains were unified by a man named Iha.
Li Ping'an was slightly stunned and frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"Old Niu, this name is so familiar."
"Moo!"
Lao Niu reminded him.
Li Ping'an only then remembered that the little kid who was not knee-high at that time.
I can't help but smile, there is a feeling of rubbing shoulders with history.
sighed, time flies so fast.
The guy was still babbling about what Iha's exploits were, with some boasting in them.
