Chapter 9 Eight Surnames of the Ten Kingdoms of Middle-earth
Fan Bufan stretched out his hand and pointed around, circled a region, and said, "Here are the Ten Kingdoms of Middle-earth. It was originally the ancestral land of the eight surnames of ancient times. You should know these eight ancient surnames, right?"
Guan Ren shook his head: "I heard my father mention it, but I don't know which eight surnames are specifically referred to." ”
Fan Bufan looked at Guan Ren in some surprise, and said in his heart, how can this guy not understand anything? I had to explain to him: "These eight surnames are, Ji, Jiang, Ji, Ying, Fei, Yao, Yao, and Yao. You see, these characters all have a female character in them, which means that Nuwa is the mother of the eight surnames. ”
Guan Ren nodded, revealing a look of understanding.
Fan Bufan said: "Due to the migration, these eight surnames have been divided into many clans. For example, the Xuanyuan clan moved from Ji Shui to Xuanyuan Hill, and the Lu clan moved from Jiang Shui to Lu Di. After a long period of war, many clans gradually evolved into the Ten Kingdoms of Middle-earth. Ying's surname is Zhao's Jianqin State and Zhao State, Jiang's surname is Lu's Jianqi State, Ji's surname Gongsun's Jianyan State, in addition to Chu, Wei, and Sijue Kingdom. A total of ten countries were held at the same time, and there were wars from time to time, and the life of the people was very difficult. ”
Guan Ren said thoughtfully: "Is this heaven and earth collapse related to the war between the ten kingdoms of Middle-earth?"
Fan Bufan shook his head and said categorically: "No." The catastrophe spread to Kyushu and the whole world. Although the soldiers of the Ten Kingdoms are prosperous, the real strength is the eight surnames that live deep in the ancestral land. Such as the ancestral land of the Ji family on the bank of Ji Shui, and the ancestral land of Jiang surnamed Jiang on the edge of Jiang Shui. These eight surnames are so profound and sharp that even the ancient immortals have to avoid three points, which is far from being comparable to the ten countries that moved out. But in the face of that catastrophe, even the eight surnames were unable to protect themselves. It can be seen from this that the catastrophe that leveled the world was by no means something that could be done with the strength of one country and one people. ”
"Perhaps, the world has not ended. ”
"What?"
"The catastrophe may not have destroyed everything. ”
Fan Bufan laughed: "The heavens and the earth are overturned, and the world is shattered, this is not what Mr. Ben said. It was witnessed by the ancestors and passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. Can you change it with a single word?"
"Have you ever been to the other side of the mountain to take a look?"
"Mr. Ben has a good life, but what are you going to do there?"
Guan Daodao: "Take a look, whether it is true or false, the natural truth is revealed." ”
Fan Bufan sneered: "Isn't this the truth? What more truth do you want?
"Young Master, are you here?" Fugui'er's voice came from downstairs.
Guan Ren looked at Fan Bufan: "You're right, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's not good to die so easily and leave." ”
Just about to go downstairs, Fan Bufan said: "Someone has been there." ”
"Who?" Guan Ren had already stepped on the stairs with one foot, and slowly retracted it when he heard the words.
"The mountain chief of the Sage Academy. But don't be too happy, although the Duke of Tai has been there, he failed to cross the mountain as he wished, and he almost didn't die halfway. This Guan Mountain is far from being as ordinary as you see, and I advise you to break this idea early. ”
Guan Ren didn't turn around, quietly listened to him finish speaking, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'm going to leave now." ”
The footsteps went downstairs, and Fan Bufan's voice came from upstairs: "If you have time, you can talk to the Taigong, it will be good for you." ”
Guan Ren walked out of the bookstore and saw that the front of the academy was already deserted. Not far away, Xiao'e was talking to the middle-aged steward who was in charge of registering her name.
Guan Ren approached and saluted the man: "Hello sir." The juniors want to ask, what are the courses taught in the college?"
The middle-aged man was not suspicious when he was a student who came to sign up, and said: "Our Confucian learning is the first thing to be virtuous." Etiquette comes first, and knowledge comes second. It is based on poetry and classics and the learning of sages. ”
Guan Ren nodded, looking taught: "I wonder if archery is taught in the academy?"
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said: "Archery is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and it is naturally taught." ”
"Is there a special person to take care of the bows and arrows in the academy?
A hint of surprise flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and then he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "What do you mean by what Gongzi said? All the assets of the academy are taken care of by full-time people. ”
Guan Ren let out an 'oh' and said, "Can that gentleman take the juniors to the academy's shooting range to have a look?"
The middle-aged man dodged his gaze and showed a stiff smile: "This ...... Let me go and tell the deacon first. Wait here, three of you, and don't go away. ”
Guan Ren saluted again: "There is a big driver." ”
The middle-aged man turned around, his eyes instantly turned cold, and then he stepped into the academy.
"Young Master. Xiao'e tugged at the sleeve of the man's shirt and said worriedly: "I see that this person is a little strange." Master, let's go back. ”
Fuguier also said: "Yes, I don't think this guy is like a good person." Let's go back. ”
Guan Ren said nonchalantly: "In broad daylight, what can he do with us? Having said that, Fang Caiguan did feel the killing intent that flashed in the hearts of the middle-aged people.
Xiao'e saw that Guan Ren didn't care, so she had to make another plan: "Young master, wait for me to accompany you in, let Brother Fugui stay, if there is danger, there will be someone to report it." ”
Fugui'er hurriedly said: "No, what's the use of your little girl's head? Or you stay, I will accompany the young master in, if there is really something, I can also stand up for a while." ”
Guan Ren smiled: "We're not going to fight with people, why are you so nervous?"
Xiao'e pursed her lips, looked like she was in trouble, and said, "Young master, when you didn't see that person looking at you, his eyes were erratic, his eyes showed a fierce light, and there must be a ghost in his heart." ”
The middle-aged man entered the academy and walked around to a pond.
There was a young man sitting by the pond, dressed in a plain coarse linen clothes, who was leisurely fishing with a rod and a calm expression. Behind him stood more than a dozen burly men.
The middle-aged man hurried all the way, and when he saw the young man, he shouted from afar: "Son, something is going to happen." ”
At this moment, two fish were biting the hook, and they were startled by the sound, and they turned over and swam away, making two splashes.
The young man's tranquil face was full of anger for a moment, and his gaze was gloomy. He stood up, kicked the basket into the pond in a rage, and turned to glare at the visitor.
The middle-aged man was taken aback, stopped at a distance of two feet, and did not dare to step forward.
The young man shouted, "Get here." ”
The middle-aged man's waist bent unconsciously, he swallowed his saliva and stepped forward.
"Respectfully..... Cautious..... Childe. ”
A grim smile appeared at the corner of the young man's mouth, and he pointed to the ground beside him: "Come, come, stand here." ”
The middle-aged man only obeyed the order.
The young man smiled, put his hands on the shoulders of the middle-aged man, and did not speak, but just looked at him and smiled. The middle-aged man laughed with him, but he smiled reluctantly.
Suddenly, the young man smiled, lifted his right foot and kicked the middle-aged man's lower abdomen suddenly.
With a 'poof', the middle-aged man planted the pond. This was followed by the sound of slapping water in a struggle.
"Respectfully...... Sincerely...... Ahem...... "The middle-aged man choked on water and coughed violently.
The boy pointed to the middle-aged man who had fallen into the water and laughed wildly, as if he wanted to laugh out of his eyes. Laughing and smiling, his expression suddenly turned cold: "You scared away my fish, you have to catch it for me." If you can't catch it, you'll die in this pond. ”
"Respectfully.... Childe, spare your life..... Spare your life. "The pond was very deep, and the heads of middle-aged people floated and sank in the water.
Distraught by the shout, the boy bent down to pick up a rock the size of a chicken egg and threw it at the middle-aged man who had fallen into the water. When it fell, it was a little off, so he picked up another piece and scolded while throwing: "Dog, if you hadn't told my father, saying that I was greedy and luxurious, and that I was dry." How could I do this kind of shit that is frugal and fishing? If you ask me to do this, I will do it. Let me do that, and I do that. But the dog thing in Taiyan still has to compete with me for the head of the family. So what's the use of me doing this, what's the use?"
"Son, listen to me. Although it was April now, the water in the pond was still not warm, and the middle-aged man knocked his teeth urgently, trembling and said, "Young Master Jin, there are three people outside the door, and they want to enter the academy to see our shooting range." ”
The young man was no longer hoarse and exhausted, and said lightly: "People want to see our shooting range, can you just take him there?"
Not only that, but they also asked if the academy's bows and arrows had ever been lost. Our business, I'm afraid ......"
"Shut up. The young man shouted, then glanced at the group of strong men behind him, and ordered, "Catch him up." ”
