In the Human World Chapter 1 The Great Xia Dynasty
Escaping from the Funeral God Village, Dugu Zhishui is like losing his soul. His eyes were blank, and he walked and walked and walked, without eating or drinking, and did not know where he was going. Before he knew it, that pure land had been left far behind him.
Perhaps, everything is just a dream, and now he is just struggling in the dream, and all the gloom will pass when he wakes up, or perhaps, everything in front of him is reality, and he has nothing in the first place.
Whether it is a dream or reality, Dugu Zhishui doesn't want to tell anymore, he only knows that his heart is very tired, he just wants to go, keep walking and keep walking, as for where is his end, he doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.
The deep ancient timber wolf forest gradually turned into a wilderness overgrown with weeds, and the wilderness overgrown with weeds gradually turned into bustling streets, and the scenery in front of him was like a picture scroll flowing in front of Dugu's eyes, he and the scenes in these paintings were divided into two worlds, and he was so incompatible with this world.
The concept of time has long been blurred, he walked from sunrise to sunset, and from sunset to sunrise, time passed day by day, and seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and he finally reached the point of exhaustion, and at the last moment when he closed his eyes, he saw that he was walking on the official road in the suburbs.
"Heh, is it finally coming to an end......" Dugu Zhishui's consciousness fell into darkness.
Da Da Da ......
A horse-drawn carriage was driving on the official road. The carriage was pulled by two red-maned horses, their thick hooves dotted with dragon-like muscles, and this horse was not a different breed, but it was also a rare good horse. The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a black power suit and looking in good spirits. The carriage was the size of a small house, made of century-old mahogany, and was exquisitely made, with a pink curtain hanging from the front, obscuring the interior of the carriage.
Just as the carriage was speeding rapidly, the middle-aged man driving suddenly noticed that there was an unkempt and ragged teenager in front of him blocking the way.
"Get out" The middle-aged man saw the depressed appearance of the person in front of him, and his words were very tough.
However, the person in front of him did not seem to hear his shout, and still staggered along, and the middle-aged man was suddenly extremely annoyed, and he slowed down the speed of the car while picking up the leather whip in his hand, preparing to teach the lowly "beggar" in front of him an unforgettable lesson. The carriage gradually came behind the young man who was blocking the way, and the middle-aged man jumped out of the car to teach him a lesson about the lowly "little beggar" in his eyes.
But just when he was about to make a move, the "little beggar" in front of him suddenly fell to the ground, and the middle-aged man looked at the young man on the ground sluggishly, his head didn't turn for a while, and he obviously hadn't touched him yet?
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?" At this moment, a nice voice came from the carriage, and at the same time, a delicate little head lifted a corner of the door curtain and stretched out. The moment he heard this voice, the middle-aged man's face changed. He hurriedly stood in front of the people on the ground, and said, "No...... It's all right, miss. ”
A little girl jumped out of the carriage, she looked about twelve or thirteen years old, her skin was fair, her figure was petite, her appearance was sweet and lovely, she was dressed in an orange dress, although it was not gorgeous, but it reflected her more and more innocently and lovely. However, at this time, the little girl's face was not very good-looking, although the middle-aged man was trying his best to hide it, but she had already seen the boy on the ground.
With a gloomy face, she hurried to the side of the boy on the ground, who did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Uncle Liu, is this what you said, is it okay? Did you hit someone?" the girl asked with a cold face.
"Ah...... Miss, this ...... I didn't do it, the villain was really wronged, he fainted by himself. The middle-aged man trembled when he heard the girl's words, and quickly explained.
"Hmph, I was in the carriage just now and heard you show off your power there. It seems that it is time to go back and let the housekeeper educate you well. After the girl finished speaking, she ignored the middle-aged man, she checked and found that the boy was not injured, but had passed out.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, come and help. The girl shouted to the carriage, and a tall girl who was slightly bigger than Dugu Zhishui opened the curtain and walked out.
"What's wrong?" asked the girl later.
"Help me carry this man to the carriage. ”
With the efforts of the two girls, the unconscious teenager was lifted into the carriage, and the middle-aged man who drove the car had been watching from the sidelines, not even daring to come out, and when he saw that the two eldest ladies had returned to the car, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after wailing bad luck in his heart, he continued to drive in a gloomy manner......
On the carriage, the girl named Xiaoxiao looked at the young man who had not yet woken up and frowned slightly, this young man was dirty, it was really unbearable for her who had always had a habit of cleanliness, if she hadn't been able to stand the begging of the little girl around her, she would have left the young man on the side of the road. And at this moment, looking at the little girl feeding and combing her hair, waiting for this young man of unknown origin, she finally couldn't help but say: "Xiaotong, you girl doesn't know him, why do you want to be so good to him, how can you serve a boy like this casually in your little girl's family?"
"Sister Xiaoxiao, it's nothing. This person fainted on the side of the road in such a mess, he was already pitiful enough, Uncle Liu was bullying others before, I would have apologized for him. Anyway, you don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to me. The girl known as Xiaotong said coquettishly.
"You girl is too kind, you will suffer a big loss in the future......" Xiaoxiao sighed, but she didn't want to say anything more. When her gaze inadvertently glanced at the young man, a slight contempt flashed in his eyes, she had not noticed any spiritual power fluctuations in the young man before, she could determine that the young man was just an ordinary person......
Three days later, Dugu Zhishui woke up quietly. When he opened his hazy eyes, he was greeted by a blurred pink light. When his vision became clearer, he found himself lying in a small room.
No, and the feeling of being bumpy, where was he?" he looked around in confusion and saw two girls chatting at the same time.
"Who are you, did you save me?"
Dugu Zhishui's abrupt voice interrupted the conversation between the two girls, and the girl known as Xiaotong looked at Dugu Zhishui sharply and exclaimed in surprise: "You're awake, really, why are you talking so recklessly, it startled me." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's me who is bad. Thank you for saving me. Dugu Zhishui said weakly.
"Xiaotong, now that he's awake, you good guy should do it, let's put him down when we get to the next city." The girl known as Xiaoxiao glanced at Dugu Zhishui and said lightly.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, a good person will do it to the end, since I saved him, I have to arrange him. Xiaotong pouted dissatisfiedly, looking particularly cute. Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaotong's appearance, and swallowed back the words that just came to her mouth, but there was a touch of disgust in her eyes when she looked at Dugu Zhishui.
"Hehe" Xiao Tong smiled slyly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked Dugu Zhishui suddenly: "I don't even know what your name is? Where is your home? Why did a person faint in the wilderness?"
Hearing this, Dugu Zhishui was silent for a while, and the carriage fell into an awkward silence for a while, and after a long time, Dugu Zhishui slowly spoke: "My name is ...... Lonely and stopped, I have no home. Hehe, maybe that's the case, Dugu Zhishui laughed at himself in his heart. Everything in the past was too complicated, and now everything about him was unknown, and now he didn't even dare to determine his own name, after all, it was only his name in the illusion......
"Dugu Zhishui ......" Xiao Tong kept repeating the name, and suddenly smiled brightly, "Very nice name." My name is Yuetong, and the big beauty next to me is Sister Murong Xiaoxiao, please advise. ”
Dugu Zhishui's pale face smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Yuetong, put me down after you get to the town in front, I'm fine." ”
When Murong Xiaoxiao heard this, the disgust for Dugu Zhishui in her heart was a little less, it seems that this person is still quite interesting.
Yuetong frowned, "Aren't you homeless?"
Dugu Zhishui didn't speak, and Yuetong continued: "Why don't you go home with me, I'll ask the housekeeper to arrange a job for you, and you won't have to wander around in the future." Unconsciously, Yuetong actually began to call Brother Dugu Zhishui directly.
Dugu Zhishui looked at Yuetong in some surprise, he didn't expect this little girl to be so familiar. However, he still refused: "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need to bother you so much." ”
Dugu Zhishui regretted it a little as soon as he spoke, because he saw Yuetong's small mouth suffocating, and he was obviously a little unhappy.
"Brother Zhishui doesn't dislike me. Yuetong said with some grievances, her eyes were already swirling, and she was about to cry.
"Ah...... No, don't get me wrong, you'...... Don't get me wrong......" Dugu Zhishui panicked and hurriedly explained.
However, Yuetong's face still did not improve, and Dugu Zhishui could only compromise helplessly, "I promise you, don't think about it." ”
As soon as Dugu Zhishui's words came out, Yuetong immediately burst into tears and smiled, the haze on her face was instantly swept away, where was there any unhappy look, Dugu Zhishui looked at her in a daze, and it took a long time to find out that she had been deceived.
"What a cunning little girl......" was so troubled by Yuetong, Dugu's mood suddenly improved a lot. Maybe this is really a good choice, Dugu Zhishui thought in his heart.
The carriage traveled day and night on the road towards its destination, Anping, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty......
This is an extremely vast world, the vast land is densely covered with primeval forests, all kinds of rare birds and beasts crisscross the horizontal, primitive and mysterious. Compared with the vast area of this land, the land inhabited by human beings is only a small corner of it, and ordinary people can only glimpse one ten-thousandth of it in their lifetime. Legends about gods, immortals, and demons have existed since ancient times. In order to pursue the legendary realm of immortality, generation after generation embarked on the path of cultivation, and martial arts also flourished all over the world.
The eastern part of the continent is an extremely vast large plain, known as the Eastern Plains. This area is inhabited by the human race, and in this boundless land, there are countless large and small kingdoms. The power of various sects is also scattered in the meantime, and the strength of many sects is not weaker than the royal family of a country, and they often exist side by side with the royal family of the country where they are located, and they are afraid of each other.
To some extent, the royal families of various countries are also a kind of force, and they have gained the upper hand in the competition with other sects, so they have become the lord of a region. Because of this, the change of the royal family is not uncommon in this land.
In the middle of the continent there is a vast primeval forest, known as the Deserted Old Land. It's a forbidden area for life, and legend has it that anyone who enters the forest never appears again. On the periphery of the Ancient Lands is also an endless primeval forest, known as the Outer Wasteland, and it is said that the two are bounded by a River Styx, and after crossing the River Styx, you will enter another world, which is the real Ancient Land.
Although there is only a river between the ancient land and the outer wilderness, it is the difference between heaven and earth. Although the outer wilderness region is just as dangerous, it is not inaccessible, and powerful monks often enter the outer wilderness to find natural treasures or subdue foreign beasts as war pets. There are no exceptions to the old wasteland, and those who enter it are dead and alive. No one knows what's in there, because those who have seen it have long since disappeared from this world.
The Great Xia Dynasty, the superior state of the Eastern Plains. In Dongyuan, the country is divided into different ranks according to strength, with the strongest being called the upper state, the weaker being called the middle state, and the weakest being called the inferior country.
The area of Dongyuan is vast, and the number of countries is simply immeasurable, but the number of high-class countries is not very large, so although the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty is not very high among the high-class countries, it should not be underestimated. Middle-class and inferior countries are generally caught between the upper and lower countries, and such countries are generally at war, and they often have to rely on neighboring superior countries to survive.
The Great Xia Dynasty was located at the junction of the Eastern Plains and the Outer Wilderness, and because the Outer Wilderness was the place where the monks of the entire Eastern Plains trained and hunted demon beasts, the Great Xia Dynasty had a large flow of people. In this way, the economic development of the entire Great Xia Dynasty was driven, so the economic strength of the Great Xia Dynasty was the strongest among the neighboring high-class countries. It is precisely because the Great Xia Dynasty is richer than several high-class countries in the east, so its overall strength is slightly superior, and more than a dozen middle-class and lower-class countries around it have voluntarily become its vassal states.
The Bactria Dynasty was extremely vast, spanning 8,000 li between the eastern and western borders and 6,000 li between the northern and southern borders. Its capital, Anping, is located in the hinterland of the dynasty, three thousand miles away from the junction of the 100,000 mountains and the dynasty. As the capital of Great Xia and the economic center of Great Xia, Anping is naturally not comparable to ordinary cities. The city wall of Anping City is ten zhang high, and the whole body is made of black steel stone that will not be weathered for 10,000 years. The city is generally square, east and west, north and south are about 100 miles long, in the center of the city, is the palace of the Yuwen clan of the Great Xia royal family, which occupies one-tenth of the entire Anping City.
At this moment, a delicate carriage pulled by two red-maned horses slowly drove into the city from the city gate, and the carriage shuttled through the crowded streets for nearly an hour, and finally stopped in front of a mansion.
