Entering the rivers and lakes for the first time Chapter 4 Bluestone Town
North Vietnam is the only orthodox dynasty today, located in the Central Plains, which symbolizes the orthodox land of China
The Beiyue Dynasty had prosperous national fortunes, national peace and security, and its national strength far exceeded that of all the orthodox dynasties after the Great Chu Dynasty, and it was even enough to wrestle with the Great Chu, which completely unified the world more than 600 years ago.
Many elderly people who have been in North Vietnam are puzzled by the prosperity of North Vietnam.
More than 20 years ago, North Vietnam was just a small barbarian country in the western region that was not well known, not to mention compared with Da Chu, even any slightly larger dynasty in the surrounding area could make North Vietnam annihilate within three days.
And only a year later, something unexpected happened to everyone in the world.
The small barbarian frontier country of Beiyue seemed to turn over overnight, and in ten days, it captured all the dynasties in the western region, unified the western frontier with lightning speed, and became famous in the world.
Immediately, a month later, when the people of the world could not react, North Vietnam, which had just become the overlord of the western region, actually carried an irresistible force to send troops in three ways, and successively defeated the Western Jin Dynasty, which was not orthodox and like orthodoxy, Xie Huai, who was strong in military strength, and the strong southern country, strongly entered the Central Plains, which had been fought for more than ten years by the three kingdoms, and laid the general trend of the world in one fell swoop.
The North Yue Dynasty became the only orthodox dynasty, and small countries from all over the world came to worship.
Except for several major rebellions set off by the Western Jin Dynasty, Xie Huai and other old people of the Three Kingdoms at the beginning, there was basically no major rebellion in North Vietnam.
Now, with the passage of more than 20 years, the old people of the Three Kingdoms who were slaves of the exiled country are gradually aging, and the descendants of the old Three Kingdoms who have not experienced the hatred of the lost country are slowly integrated into North Vietnam, and the domestic rebellion is decreasing year by year, the national strength is booming, and the people's hearts are gradually gained.
The territory of the Central Plains can be roughly divided into three parts. One is the Jiangnan area, which is known as the land of fish and rice, the other is Yangzhou, where the Beiyue Imperial Palace is located and the palace of the orthodox dynasties of the past dynasties, and the last one is the Eastern Regions, which covers the most extensive area and is lined with martial arts sects.
Once the first Huayang Sect in the world and the Medicine King Valley in the three valleys of the world, the Sword King Valley are all the Eastern Regions of the Founding Sect, many major sects, and the big families are also rooted in the Eastern Regions, and the martial arts of the entire Eastern Regions are extremely prosperous.
At this time, it was dawn, in a small town called Qingshi Town at the junction of Jiangnan and the Eastern Regions, an unkempt, ragged but extraordinary-looking teenager walked slowly on the street that had not yet become lively, curiously looking at every pedestrian who passed by him.
This young man is Yang Nanguan, who climbed up from the bottom of the Camel Yang Valley.
Although it is called the valley, it is much higher and steeper than the ordinary mountain cliff, all the way to the bluestone town here, Yang Nanguan can be said to have suffered enough.
Not to mention the hundreds of high cliffs from the bottom of the valley to the valley, just the several daunting towering mountains after the valley made Yang Nanguan tired enough.
Dressed in coarse linen clothes that were also torn to tatters by thorns everywhere in the mountains, and he hadn't washed for nearly 15 days, Yang Nanguan was now like a little beggar.
It is also strange to say that when he turned over those mountains, Yang Nanguan felt that the mountains were full of weirdness.
The first few mountains are okay, no different from ordinary mountains, but these mountains near Qingshi Town are a little unusual.
From time to time, there seemed to be a woman's crying in those mountains, and Yang Nanguan followed the sound to try to find it, but found nothing.
The mountains are lifeless, not to mention wild deer or anything, Yang Nanguan has never even seen the shadow of a hare, but there are many poisonous insects, often climbing in the weeds.
Even the mountain pools in the mountains are so strange that there are not even a single fish. The pool water is also abnormal, Yang Nanguan took a sip, and his stomach was like fire, and it took a while to ease up.
In addition to the mountains that had just come up from the bottom of the valley, Yang Nanguan had found food.
In the last few mountains, Yang Nanguan came hungry all the way, and Yang Nanguan still didn't dare to touch those poisons after thinking about them, preferring to be hungry.
If it were an ordinary person who had endured everything Yang Nanguan endured along the way, he was afraid that he would either die of thirst or starve to death on the road, and he would not be able to walk to this Qingshi Town at all.
Yang Nanguan also relied on this body to survive with the cultivation of Tongxuan, but he hadn't eaten for five or six days, and Yang Nanguan was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back.
Fortunately, we finally arrived at a populated place.
Walking slowly on the street, Yang Nanguan felt new to everything. When some of the little ladies who were with them walked by Yang Nanguan, they couldn't help but take another look after inadvertently glancing at them.
As the number of pedestrians increases, street vendors become more and more vigorous, shops and restaurants are also lit on fire, and the enticing aroma begins to arouse the hungry man's stomach.
"Goo" "Goo"
When passing by a restaurant, Yang Nanguan's stomach also began to bark.
A faint aroma of porridge wafted out of the restaurant, and Yang Nanguan couldn't help but swallow.
Stopped and looked into the restaurant, only to see seven or eight diners sitting at a table in twos and threes in the restaurant that was still a little cold, eating some small dishes and drinking porridge.
The steaming heat escaped from the white porridge, constantly teasing the gluttonous insects in Yang Nanguan's stomach.
Yang Nanguan also wanted to drink a bowl of white porridge, but his face was cleaner, and he didn't even have a copper plate, and all his belongings were only a wood carving and a cultivation that didn't obey the call at all, so he could only watch others eat and swallow his saliva.
The restaurant is not high, only two floors, the faΓ§ade is a little old, and a somewhat dilapidated door plaque has four big characters written - come to the restaurant again
A tall, thin young boy was busy in the restaurant, cleaning up some of the dishes and chopsticks after the guests finished eating, and the fat old shopkeeper sat at the counter, smiling and chatting with a few familiar diners, and collecting money.
Xiao Er, who had just finished cleaning up a table, stopped, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young man dressed as a little beggar standing at the door, swallowing saliva, and after a few steps away, Xiao Er could also hear the "goo" and "goo" sound in the little beggar's stomach.
"It's a poor boy again. β
When the young junior saw Yang Nanguan, he sighed silently in his heart, thinking of his younger brother who suddenly disappeared a month ago, and his heart was mixed.
Parents are darts who go south and north, in the early years of darts encountered horse bandits, not only the escorted goods were looted, but also none of them came back, the young brother and the elderly grandfather are the only two relatives of the young two in this world.
But not long ago, a twelve-year-old living person disappeared, and he disappeared if he said he couldn't see it, and he couldn't find it no matter how he looked for it, as if he had evaporated from the world.
"Brother, where are you? Brother and Grandpa can't find you. β
The young Xiao Er's expression darkened, and from Yang Nanguan, Xiao Er seemed to see that his younger brother was also wandering around, begging without food, penniless, and starving.
After a moment of trance, the young boy wanted to get some food for the poor little beggar.
As soon as he turned around, Xiao Er found that Grandpa was standing behind him at some point, holding a cloth bag in his hand.
Four or five snow-white buns were steaming hot in the unwrapped bag, which was very tempting.
"Ah Sun, bring it to the child. β
The old shopkeeper handed the cloth bag wrapped in a bun to Xiao Er, turned around and took a trembling step, the old man's back was a little lonely. Vaguely, Xiao Er seemed to hear Grandpa sigh.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, holding a bag of buns that were not heavy and very heavy, Yang Nanguan suddenly thought of the sinister sentence that the old man once said after being drunk, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly in his heart.
"Old man, I don't know if the rivers and lakes are dangerous or not, but I think this world is worth a while. β
