In the gorse dynasty, the area of a continent was roughly equivalent to the area of a province in the previous life, and the state animal husbandry was the chief executive of a continent, and he also controlled about 20% of the troops in the continent for his flexible drive. , Used to deal with a small number of aliens, suppress rebellions, maintain public order and other chores.
The other 80% of the troops are in the hands of the captains. They usually directly take orders from the central government, and they also have the meaning of supervising the state and animal husbandry. If the state and animal husbandry or other generals want to drive them, they need tiger charms given by the court.
But if the continent is located in the frontier, or the situation in the continent is complicated and difficult, the court will also grant more military power to the state and herdsmen in advance, so that they can control about 40% of the soldiers and horses in the continent in order to deal with it. Complicated and difficult situation. This is the situation in Xiyouzhou where Lorrain Hill is now.
In the inn, Lorrain Hill was sitting in the corner with his back to the center of the hall, eating dinner quietly. Although there was no special observation, the scene in the inn was easily passed into my mind under the keen perception.
The dozen or so "Xuan Leopard Cavaliers" have sturdy figures, and there are still traces of dry blood stains on their swords and halberds. It can be seen that they usually kill themselves. No wonder the people here are so afraid.
Just when the group of people sat down and waited for food, a vegetable dish was placed on the two tables where the white-robed man was sitting. Seeing this, the leading cavalry slapped the table.
"TM's! I've been waiting here for so long, how can I serve them first?" The sergeant's cheeks were like thorns, and his face was sullen when he was angry, which shocked many people around him.
"This, this.... Jun Ye, you didn't order the vegetables. They ordered this first and it's already done." Xiao Er was sweating profusely.
"Is it your turn to speak?"
Slap——
A slap slapped him directly, flying him up, and even one or two teeth flew out.
Seeing this scene, many customers finished their meals one after another and quickly avoided leaving to avoid getting into trouble. The shopkeeper also rushed from the back kitchen to appease these unruly sergeants.
But the sergeant who beat people didn't care about the long and humble apology from the shopkeeper, but looked sideways at the people in white clothes.
At this time, the slightly discerning people were aware of the unkindness and conflict, and began to clean up, either going upstairs to rest or bowing their heads and leaving the inn quickly.
Lorraine Hill saw such a scene, and didn't want to participate in it rashly, and went back upstairs quietly.
Afterwards, there was a sound of ridicule and arguing from downstairs. The group of people in white seemed to suppress their anger and leave the inn. Later, the downstairs gradually became quiet.
The next morning, Lorrain Hill walked down the stairs after getting dressed. There were fewer people in the hall, only a few people were eating breakfast.
After asking for a breakfast, Lorrain Hill saw that Xiao Er was not too busy, and curiously asked about the surrounding situation.
"Do you know the situation of the evening mountains?"
"Evening mountains? I only know a few things that locals often know." The little second began to narrate.
"We Xiyouzhou and Mushanzhou are separated by a barren and extremely high mountain. In ancient times, it was called Yanluo Mountain, but now it is called Ximu Qunshan. This is an official saying, and many locals still call it Yanluo Mountain. ."
"A long time ago, there was a big sect on Yan Luo Mountain called Songli Yanluo Palace. There were many envoys from the Nine Serenities in the door, and goodness drove the dead corpses."
"After the great chaos that year, the world was all over the world. Naturally, this Yan Luo Palace also supported a local force and established a kingdom of existence."
"Later, when my dynasty rose up, these countries collapsed, and even the Yan Luo Palace disappeared, and the Kingdom of Habitat was divided into Mushan Island and Xiyou Island. The survivors of the Kingdom of Habitat still live in the mountains of Yama, and the situation is roughly like this. "The second shopkeeper wiped the table, talking about common sense that the locals are basically familiar with.
And Lorrain Hill asked the others, and this little second didn't know much.
It seems that I have to go to the Ximu Mountains (Yan Luo Mountain), because the mission given to her by the teacher is to support a shrine in this deserted mountain.
After packing up the things, Lorrain Hill didn't stop there anymore, leaving this small town called Youcen, and proceeding to the northwest, entering the dangerous mountains where the civilians stopped.
——————
There was a special chill in the air. When the girl looked down on the land from the air, she found that the color of the earth gradually changed from green to barren grey and black.
The rocks and black soil on the mountain are directly exposed to the air, there is little vegetation cover, and there are few other animals. Only a few rabbits occasionally run out of the cave, carefully looking for food.
As Lorrain Hill flew over the wilderness, the tall mountains in front of him gradually became clear.
The soaring peaks are like two giant gates standing on the ground. The small towns and villages in the distance are as small as dust under this giant gate, and they can't even reach the door frame.
The continuous tall mountain peaks cut off the backward view. When the sun goes down, people can't see the setting sun at all, only the golden afterglow on the top of the mountain can be seen.
In the misty clouds, those rays of light seemed to shine from another distant world, triggering the imagination of countless people.
As the girl entered the high mountains, some tiny figures dressed in black also appeared below the field of vision. Most of their bodies were wrapped in black linen and their faces could not be seen clearly. Work, planting black barley on poor soil.
After finding a mountain village with a lot of people, Lorrain Hill slowly fell from the sky carrying a wooden box and walked forward.
When the young girl approached, a villager at the entrance of the village shouted eagerly, and her accent was also quite local.
Under the scum of the villager, a group of villagers ran out of the house. They looked at the strange girl with fear, surprise, curiosity, disgust, etc. in their eyes.
Seeing this, Lorrain Hill stopped briefly.
"Hello, I am from Huiluzhou, do you know where the Asalu Shrine is?"
Seeing that everyone did not answer, the girl repeated it several times. After a long time, an old man with a white beard came out and asked with a trembling voice.
"Excuse me, did you have anything to do with the shrine?" The old man's face was withered, and his head was covered with black linen.
"I am a practitioner from Huiluzhou, from the Burning Sun Feather School..." The girl briefly introduced.
"That's it..." The old man seemed relieved a lot after hearing the name Fengyu School, and he was relieved.
"Can you show me the token?" He waved his hand slowly, and the young people with weapons in the back stepped back slightly.
"Is that this?" Lorrain Hill thought for a while, and took out a yellow token from the box.
The old man didn't dare to come closer, looked carefully at a distance, and then nodded for a long time.
"Yes, it's the same as I saw when I was young." His voice was hoarse.
"Please come with me." Then the old man walked slowly towards the village with his cane.
"I didn't expect Granny Grove to be able to contact you..." He muttered in the middle of his mouth, as if talking to himself.
Later, Lorrain Hill followed the old man into this mountain village.
Compared with the barren land outside, the location of this village is very special. It happens to be in a leeward place surrounded by three mountains, so even if it is a mountainside, there is still a large open space in the middle. The fields in the village are in this open space, and some houses are built on the slopes of the nearby mountains.
When the old man brought Lorrain Hill into the village, some young and strong residents in the village were called aside by the old man and avoided them from a distance to prevent them from contacting and disturbing the girl.
As he approached, Lorrain Hill gradually discovered the difference between the residents and the outside world.
First of all, their skin is very white, but the white that seems lack of sunlight, not ruddy, but a little bluish. In addition, although there are a few transcendents among the residents here, they are all in the Necro sequence, and there is no other sequence.
This is also relatively rare. Generally speaking, the sequence of war is the most widely spread, because it is easy to start at a low level, and it can play a variety of roles if the level is not high. Coupled with the promotion of the country and the proliferation of the army, it is also the easiest for ordinary people to come into contact with. The extraordinary sequence.
Following the small white stone steps, slowly ascending to a flat ground halfway up the mountain, the old man finally took Lorrain Hill to a cave-like house.
This house is mostly hidden in the mountains, only the outer circle has windows.
When I walked into the house, I felt a lot cooler than the outside world, and then the old man asked the girl to sit down.
The tables and chairs are all very old wooden seats. There are already many pits and bumps on them. Some are scratched, some are peeled, and some are worn away.
But it looks very round again, maybe after long-term use, there is almost no protruding place in the corners.
"You are going to the shrine to find Wuzhu there, right." The old man asked straightforwardly.
"Yes." Lorrain Hill nodded and looked at the hunched, thin old man in front of him, who was sitting down slowly now.
"That should be right."
"I'm sorry, I just made you laugh, because there are very few outsiders here, so everyone will be very nervous and uneasy." The old man briefly explained.
"Because you are coming from a long distance, I think I still have to introduce this place to you." He pursed his mouth and spoke, because his teeth were about to fall out and his voice changed a little.
"We locals are a little different from your outsiders, that is, other people in the dynasty. I think you can also see that the skin color is very different."
Hearing this, Lorrain Hill nodded, then looked at him and continued speaking.
"Outsiders call us a clan of evil spirits, and we often deal with evil spirits, so we have a bad reputation."
"But in fact, this is also a last resort, because living in this land, you have to practice the Nine Nether Art, otherwise, it will be difficult to live."
"You may not be clear when you first arrived. In fact, in these mountains and the earth, every few days in the middle of the month, there will be many ghosts and ghosts burrowing out of the ground and hunting around."
"It would be difficult to survive without some self-protection methods, and the Nine Nether Art is the most suitable for dealing with ghosts and the like."
"I heard that there used to be a country of 魑, it was very prosperous, and there was also a big door-to-door party here." Lorrain Hill repeated the description he heard from the shop's second child in the morning. Following her description, this The old man listened carefully until the girl finished speaking.
"Is this the description of us from the outside world? I'm afraid you can't bear to say, it's beautified a lot." The old man sighed after listening.
"In fact, such a statement is roughly correct. Seven or eight hundred years ago, this place was indeed a country with beautiful mountains and clear waters." The old man’s words contained nostalgia for the legend, slowly narrating .
"At that time, because of the great chaos erupting, the world was disastrous, and the country was also facing various threats, so the monarch at that time invited some experts to help resist..."
"But all countries in the world are in distress, and the major factions are unable to help. Therefore, the monarch has not been able to find a ninth-order immortal to come to help."
"At that time, a small faction nearby volunteered to stand up. They called themselves Yan Luo Palace, specializing in the Nine Nether Art."
"Although the Nine Nether Art has always been dreaded by people, it is indeed powerful in the chaos of war, and it is no wonder that it can dominate the world in the West. So the monarch agreed to them and gave them all kinds of support."
The old man looked at the light shining in diagonally outside the window, and slowly recalled sitting on the rotten and hard wooden chair.
"In this way, the disciples of Yan Luo Palace evoked the dead corpses from all over the country, and let them form a mysterious army to fight the twisted phantoms."
"Compared to before, it really has fewer casualties, and even regained some lost ground."
"So this behavior of the monarch is no longer resisted and cursed by people. More and more people, nobles or civilians, have worshipped in the Yan Luo Palace, studied and became one of them."
"In this way, the war lasted year after year, and finally one day the catastrophe passed. All kinds of distorted phantoms were removed and cleaned up by the fairies, and the world regained short-term peace."
"At this time, almost 90% of the practitioners in the land of Yan Luo worshipped under Yama Palace. Of course, Yama Palace has also become a top-level visitor across several continents from a little-known faction. There are even hundreds of thousands of practitioners under his command."
"If the story stops here, that's not bad. Unfortunately, things haven't ended here."
"The catastrophe is over, and after a short period of peace, the various princes and big countries begin to conquer each other, and the country with the world as a world-famous power is naturally no exception."
"A greater war has been set off."
"With the continuous expansion of the country, the country that relied on the art of the Nine Nethers to support the war was finally dreaded by the surrounding countries, and then jointly dealt with it."
"The two sides fought several wars, and the last and most intense one was on this mountain and land..."
Maybe it's been a long time since I told outsiders these stories, or maybe this old man is too lonely on weekdays, no one wants to listen to these past events that have disappeared in the dust.
While Lorrain Hill was sitting at the table and listening quietly, the old man was slowly immersed in the narrative of the past, as if it were the past that he had personally experienced.
"...After the end of the war, nearly a million people died in this land, and the dragon veins were polluted, burst, and even become chaotic."
"What flows in the earth is no longer the pure power of heaven and earth in the past, but has become the magic power of the Nine Serenities. Even if no one bothers to bother the dead creatures~IndoMTL.com~ will be infected by such magic. Turn into corpses and ghosts, wandering around the earth."
"So this is a cursed place, and our ancestors were convicted of this and will never leave..."
After a long time, the room became silent again, and the old man slowly recovered.
"Sorry, this old man of mine said something decadent again, oh...I still can’t change this habit. Many young guys don’t like to listen to this. Become as old as I am, and I have no strength to do things, haha..."
The shriveled and self-deprecating laughter sounded in the house, like an old and broken bellows, creaking and pulling.
The girl wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start. In the end, the old man slowly stood up again and opened the drawer on the side.
"My lord, you are going to find Granny Grove, right? Her shrine is on the other side of the mountain. I have a rough map here. Take a look."
