Gong Xiqiu’s answer disappointed Shen Tang.
He shook his head: "I don't know..."
Jimo Qiu left in a hurry, and even the return date was only approximate. Gong Xiqiu had no idea what the other party was going to do when he returned to his old clan. The only thing he knew was that his brother was going to pick up something.
“There is no special contact method in your clan?”
The origins of the Gongxi people are mysterious, and they may have similar means.
"Perhaps the high priest knows, but I am not the high priest." Gong Xiqiu said that this problem was too difficult for him.
Shen Tang took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
Gong Xiqiu said: "Mama has a lot of good men under her. Call them all over and join us. Even if it's a wheel battle, Hao can kill that old guy Yunda. After all, he is not his true self. He is an incarnation of one." It’s easy to deal with…”
Shen Tang was almost speechless.
“Thank you, you are really smart.”
The current combat power of our generals, let alone one of the incarnations of Wen Da, can severely damage Wen Da himself. But the question is, can we get these people together to form a game? She doesn't need to guard against her ally Gao Guo? Don’t need to be wary of your neighbors on the southern border?
Aren't these places guarded by generals?
She issued a decree to everyone and dragged these people to the battlefield in the Northern Desert to form a bureau to kill Yunda. She ignored the border security? If only things were that simple. The fact is that the neighbors are all unreliable. If the border is taking a nap, the neighbor's troops may be ready to move and stretch out their hands to test Kang Guo's attitude. Especially our neighbors on the southern border!
After all, Wu Xian, an old man, still needs some face.
He himself has a hesitant character and is in the late stage of the difficulty of choice. When he makes up his mind to attack Shen Tang's hometown, Shen Tang may have defeated Bei Mo. The neighbors on the southern border are different. They have all been **** by Zheng Qiao, and it is said that they have suffered terribly.
How miserable is it?
Zheng Qiao was beaten to half a life by the Allied forces during the Dragon Slaying Bureau. These neighbors could not muster decent troops to threaten the border. They were all in civil turmoil and had too much time to take care of themselves. When the turmoil is completely over, they will either split or merge into new countries. They will get together to check the accounts and find that many things were not done by themselves. Someone framed them and sow discord between them!
I checked, and it was found on Zheng Qiao’s head.
At this time, the grass on Zheng Qiao's grave was as tall as his own.
Kang State, commanded by Shen Tang, integrated most of Zheng Qiao's inheritance, maintained friendly relations with Wu Xian's Gao State, and opened mutual trade with Beimo, its centuries-old enemy. There was great interest among the three parties to play together. The neighbors could only watch and blink.
Liquidation is impossible.
But the losses suffered must be recovered.
It doesn't matter if Zheng Qiao is dead, isn't Shen still alive? These interest rates are the same as what the person surnamed Shen wants! However, Shen Tang is different from Zheng Qiao. Zheng Qiao has not cared about internal affairs in the years since he came to power, and only wants to make everyone miserable, while Shen Tang only thinks about internal affairs and makes his subjects live a good life. Kang Guo is getting better and better in the hands of Shen Tang. If the country is stable and prosperous, and its troops and horses are strong, its neighbors will naturally feel miserable.
The more powerful Shen Tang is, the more sense of crisis his neighbors will feel.
Let Kang Guo continue to grow bigger and stronger?
Neighbors would hide a kitchen knife under their pillows when sleeping, for fear that one day they would wake up at night and look around to see that Kang soldiers had arrived.
In order to ensure their own safety, it is almost a consensus among the countries on this continent to join forces to kill their neighbors who have the potential to grow.
Hence, Shen Tang attaches great importance to the border.
Gong Xiqiu’s proposal is simply child’s play.
"Mama is obviously praising me for being smart, but why does it sound a bit harmful?" Gong Xiqiu doesn't like to use his brain, which doesn't mean he has no brain. He came closer and looked at Shen Tang, asking for an explanation, "Every time you Even calling me 'Feng En' is unkind."
Mama usually calls him by his first name and surname.
Once you call him by his pseudonym seriously, the taste will be different.
Shen Tang said sincerely: "You are my close friend, how could I harm you? Harming you is not harming myself? Are you right?"
Gong Xiqiu gave her a look and realized it himself.
His eyes look like he believes this nonsense? However, because Mama was under a lot of pressure recently, he was more considerate and not exposed her. Damn it anyway, who made Mama both a close friend and a sacred object?
Gongxi Qiucha changed the topic and promised Shen Tang: "If there is any news about big brother, I will inform Mama as soon as possible."
Shen Tang could only accept the current situation: "Yeah."
Why didn’t Jimo Qiu come back as promised?
The real reason is a bit absurd, but very true.
Because he was lost_(:з‖∠)_
Ever since he was adopted by his teacher and taken with him, he has never been alone - the master and apprentice first rescued Lin Tiao, and the two of them became three, wandering all over the continent, from the northwest to the center, traveling to various countries during this period, for several years Later, he accidentally rescued three people from Fang Yan, and the team expanded to six people. After arriving from Qi State to Kang State, Jimo Qiu followed the main force of Kang State to Yaoriguan and Tuocheng.
In so many years, I have never really acted alone.
Some experience is naturally insufficient.
He told Gong Xiqiu that he would be back in "as short as one or two days, or as slowly as three to five days." He estimated based on written data, but he forgot that he had never been to the old clan area. These are not the worst. The worst thing is that both brave warriors and literary scholars are walking terrain-changing machines. Over the past hundred years, the iconic mountains and rivers left by their ancestors have been updated several times.
The map in Jimo Qiu's hand is still version 1.0.
He can only be called a ghost if he can find a place within the expected time.
Hurrying, asking around, and getting lost. Three or five days have passed, and I still haven’t found my destination. How can I return as scheduled? The only good thing is that the map gives the correct direction. As long as Jimo Qiu's direction is not crooked, he can sense its existence when he is close to the old tribe's territory. After many twists and turns, it was finally locked.
“It’s too hard to find...Teacher, you didn’t tell me in advance that the entrance to the old clan was so deep...” There is a special barrier near the clan, and all spiritual means are prohibited. You can only walk in with two legs. The higher the level of strength and the deeper the cultivation level, the stronger the suppression encountered, and the physical strength consumed is twice that of ordinary people.
Jimo Qiu used a wooden stick as a trekking pole, climbed mountains and waded in rivers, and finally came to a dark cave with a disgraced face. The high priest's robe was relatively long, and the hem of his clothes was stained with a lot of mud and weed seeds.
He wiped his sweat and regained his strength at the entrance.
The cave is two people high and three people wide, and the atmosphere is dry.
Jimo Qiu walked for an unknown amount of time and finally reached the end, where he was blocked by a tightly closed circular door. The entire door is in the shape of a yin-yang fish, with various seals of dim light on it. Jimo Qiu inserted the wooden stick into a keyhole.
As the lines on the door lit up one by one, dispelling the darkness, a strange female voice also sounded inside the cave: "Who is coming?" 】
Jimo Qiu said: "The Gongxi tribe belongs to Jimo Qiu."
The light of the texture is bright and dark: [Please verify. 】
A stone pillar half as tall as a man rose from the ground in front of him.
There is a palm-shaped groove on the stone pillar.
Jimo Qiu heard the teacher explain the process, put his right hand on it, and concentrated his spiritual power into it. As the divine power surged out, the gray stone pillars peeled off their original ugly and low-key appearance, revealing the purest imperial green inside. The pattern on the door lit up a little more, and the female voice replied: [Verification passed, welcome Jimo Qiu home. 】
Followed by the slight movement of rocks rubbing against each other.
The huge stone door in the shape of a yin-yang fish slowly opened.
The air behind the gate is astonishingly rich in the aura of heaven and earth.
A trace of surprise flashed in Jimo Qiu’s eyes.
He asked: "Can I take the liberty of asking the girl's identity?"
Step into the world inside the door.
Everywhere he passed, the mountain walls lit up with light patterns one by one.
Even though I heard the teacher say it countless times, I still feel that this scene is magical when I see it with my own eyes, and I am afraid it is something only a **** can do. As Jimo Qiu walked forward, the female voice that reached his ears always kept a distance, as if the owner of the voice was everywhere.
The female voice replied without emotion: [Since Jimo Xiaolang knew it was presumptuous, he shouldn't have asked. However, this question is not unanswerable. I have no name, if I really want to say—]
The other party deliberately lengthened his voice to whet people's appetite.
Jimo Qiu subconsciously stopped and waited for the answer.
And the answer is—
The voice switched to a male voice.
I am a relic of the old times, a tombstone. 】
【Hey, these are all me, Xiaolang, don't panic. ] ˆ ˆ ˆ It switched to an old voice and a childish voice. Jimo Qiu tried his best to interpret the content with what he knew and came up with the answer - this mysterious man has excellent oral skills and first-class imitation skills.
Jimo Qiu asked: "Are you a living person?"
The other party said: [No one can live for a thousand years. 】
The implication is that I am not a human being.
Jimo Qiu was not much surprised by this.
Similar questions were asked by teachers back then, and the answers they gave were exactly the same as today. The other party can also be found in the earliest family records. The teacher also guessed that the era when this "person" existed was probably before the clan was established.
Just, if you ask about the past before the clan was established?
The other party has only one answer.
【Data is damaged and cannot be queried. 】
Jimo Qiu didn’t believe Xie and asked again, without changing a single word.
He did not give up and asked again: "Then this damaged data...can it be repaired? Is there anything you need my help with?"
The other party’s voice seemed to have a slight ups and downs.
【you? 】
【You can not. 】
【No one in this world can cultivate it well. 】
Jimo Qiu: “How will you know if you don’t try it?”
The female voice replied "Because there is no value in trying" and stopped talking to Jimo Qiu. He shouted twice but there was no response, guessing that the other party had left. The layout of the old clan land still maintains its old appearance before the clan was moved, and even the various palaces and pavilions have not faded. Many houses maintain a lifestyle atmosphere, as if the owners are just going out for a trip and will be back in a few hours.
Jimo Qiu searched around and found the high priest's residence.
The entire tribe is roughly circular.
The middle position is the old house left by the Gongxi people. The architectural style here is not much different from the outside style. The outside of the old house is surrounded by fields of various families, which are now abandoned. Further outward, the fields extend all the way to the foot of the mountain shrouded in mist.
Jimo Qiu stood here and could vaguely see the outline of some mountain peaks. The mountains are centered on the old clan land and surround it in the middle.
No one can climb these mountains.
Not to mention large living people, even small animals will be bounced away by Shanlan if they approach, and they will be repelled if they force their way in. Every few years or months, Shanlan changes dramatically. It will return to calm within a few days, and the changes will be irregular.
One of the responsibilities of the high priest is to observe the changes in the mountains.
It is said that if you find the law of change, you can contact the realm of God.
Jimo Qiu looked at Shanlan and murmured.
As if there was something there that attracted him very much.
Vaguely, he felt that these mountains were familiar?
【all fake. 】
The female voice that had disappeared for several hours suddenly appeared.
Jimo Qiu subconsciously asked: "Why?"
The female voice said indifferently: [Because the "god" has fallen and was killed by others, there is no **** here. The changes in the mountains have nothing to do with the gods, and there are no rules. The so-called place behind Shanlan...it is just a pile of tombstones that have lost their meaning of existence. 】
“Tomb, tombstone?”
【Every mountain you see is a tombstone. ] The female voice seemed to sigh, [It's those people... who set the tombstones for themselves with their own hands. Until the sea changes, I stand here alone, no one cares about me, no one cares about me, and I am forgotten. 】
"What do you mean by...? Don't play riddles!"
【Data is damaged and cannot be queried. 】
Even if Jimo Qiu was so impatient, he said with a hint of annoyance: "You are really like the teacher said, when asked something you don't want to answer, you just use this excuse..."
The female voice replied: [Data is damaged...]
“It can’t be queried, right? I’m not curious...”
The other party wants to say that he doesn’t want to know yet.
The female voice said with a hint of helplessness: [I really don’t know... Time has really passed for too long. In the outside world, can it be a thousand years in the past? Or two thousand years ago? No one maintains it regularly. If this place wasn't special, how could you possibly talk to me? 】
Jimo Qiu: "One or two thousand...so long?"
He immediately thought of something and felt pity.
“You have been here for so long?”
【I can only be here. 】
Jimo Qiu decided to have a better tone and attitude.
He walked straight to the secret room of the old clan’s library.
Just halfway through, he noticed something. He knelt down and observed carefully: "Are these footprints new?"
Judging from the size of the footprint, it should be that of an adult male.
The soles of your feet are wider than your own.
The female voice said: [Well, it’s new. 】
He added: [Left behind a quarter of an hour ago. 】
Jimo Qiu was startled and almost didn't react: "A quarter of an hour? But this is not my footprint. A quarter of an hour ago-"
A guess suddenly popped up in my mind, and my hair stood on end.
There are still living people in the clan!
After the tribe’s land is sealed, only the high priest can come back!
No one should be able to enter this world except yourself!
“Who is that person?”
Jimo Qiugang asked the question.
Senran murderous intent approaches from behind.
He suddenly dodged to one side, then jumped back and distanced himself, and then he saw clearly the person who attacked him - the person was indeed the size of an adult man, dressed entirely in black, with a black cloth covering his face, and only one pair of eyes exposed. Seeing that Jimo Qiu was avoiding him, the man suddenly approached again, and the majestic martial energy surged toward his vital points like an overwhelming force!
Jimo Qiu threw out his wooden staff and raised a barrier to resist.
He said sternly: "Who? How dare you trespass into the Gongxi clan's land!"
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black.
Before he could respond, a water dragon fell from the sky.
Wherever the water dragon passes, everything is frozen.
Half the mountain was frozen in an instant!
Jimo Qiu was greatly frightened.
Here comes another one!
"Who are you? If you don't answer, you will keep your life!" He swung the wooden stick and raised his hand to form a spear. Martial energy surged out from his meridians and turned into armor on the surface of his body!
(ノ￣▽￣)
Tangmei’s bumpy and twists and turns life in overcoming the tribulation—
Just say that the Tiandao household registration has a grudge against Du Jie, no matter how simple it is, it can collapse.
