The first thousand five hundred and seventy-ninth chapters
Lin Tao and his group entered the territory of Wei. The southern border of Wei is comparable to that of Zhao. It is a vast and uninhabited area. The land is barren, the land is vast, the land is sparse, and the residents are sparse, so there is no need to mention the city.
According to the map, it is naturally impossible for Lin Tao to identify every village at this level. Even the official roads must be above a certain level. In modern times, at least it is above a provincial road, and there is no need to think about village-level people.
Lin Tao chose a provincial road and followed the route on the map. He passed many mountains, rivers and waters on the road, and went around. If he did not follow this, it would be inevitable in the middle. It would be a waste of time to take some detours.
After two or three days of walking, they encountered a village, where they took a little supply, and then continued to set off. Since then, the frequency of the villages has gradually become denser, and they can walk to one, or even two or three villages every day. It seems that they have also come to a crowded area.
But the city still has no trace. Even if there is a city, Lin Tao will not have the idea of entering the city. Who knows if the Wei State wants them? Lin Tao asked a villager, and the villagers' answer was: "The city is just north of the village, more than ten miles away from the village."
After having the horses, Lin Tao moved faster. Ten days later, they truly left the border of Wei.
After leaving Wei State, there are still several inconspicuous small countries in the east, but they are all insignificant countries, and there will be no conflicts with Lin Tao and others.
They have now entered a completely different area from before. The land here is even more barren and mainly relies on animal husbandry to make a living. The fewer people engaged in agricultural production are than those of Teng, Wei and Zhao.
It is large and small, with hundreds of cities and thousands of satellite villages standing here, and it is a completely unique area in the entire real world.
These cities are full of cities, without a unified country, and even without the concept of a country. It is not an exaggeration to call them independent cities, or to call them city-states.
At the same time, such huge countries as Wei, Zhao, and Chu have never had the idea of this place.
In their concept, these places are "outside lands" and barren lands, with no resources, no production capacity, and the customs of the people are very fierce and aggressive. What if they occupy this place? No one who has thought about it in history can last for a long time.
In recent decades, a nearby free city-state has destroyed and harassed the king of a small country, and has mobilized the whole country to launch a 5,000 army to attack these city-states.
Most of these city-states are in their own right, and their defensive power is quite weak. The weakest city-state has only one or two hundred people to defend. How can it compete with a country's 5,000 troops? Therefore, the city-state quickly fell.
However, things did not end here. After the city-state fell, the king of this small country was proud and thought that he could finally settle down and start his journey to become kings.
He even personally brought the princes and nobles to the city he occupied, which was a bit of a show of power, but his main purpose was to appease the people here and maintain the rule here.
In this way, nothing happened on the first day.
The next day, nothing happened.
But on the third day, the king's family and all the royal family were suddenly massacred, with hundreds of people, both men, women, young and old, not spared.
The whole world was shocked, and I had never seen such a cruel and inhumane method.
In the eyes of the world, they were originally a place of transformation, but now this name has been proven. No, it should be said that it has become even more powerful, and this place has become a hell. So, since then, no one has ever had the idea of this place again.
In the wilderness of the west, an unknown village.
Lin Tao and his companions slowly walked into the village with their horses, and a primitive breath came to their faces. Looking around, dozens of thatched huts and indigenous residents in groups of three or three, they made people feel an illusion that they had not entered a village in the real world, but had traveled back to the primitive era.
Compared with the urban villages they passed by before, the contrast is a bit big.
A child stood not far away, looking at them steadily, his big eyes were full of curiosity. Lin Tao waved to him. The child was not afraid of being alive, and hesitated for a moment and walked to Lin Tao.
"Children, what's your village called?" Lin Tao asked with a smile and said in a gentle manner.
The child shook his head and pointed behind Lin Tao.
Lin Tao didn't understand what he meant, turned around and said to the others: "Is this kid a mute? He can't speak?"
The child rolled his eyes and said, "You are the mute, your whole family is mute. I mean, I want to talk to the beautiful big sister behind me."
"You little bastard," Lin Tao became angry as soon as he heard this. He raised his hand and was about to pat the child. Feng Qiang was pulled by him and said with a smile: "The child wants to talk to me, are you jealous?"
Lin Tao sighed weakly, his head drooped, and said, "I am convinced. This little bastard is so big and has so many colorful intestines. It will definitely be a disaster when he grows up."
The child curled his lips and disagreed. He turned his head to look at Feng Qiang and said, "Big sister, are you from outside?"
Feng Qiang looked up and thought for a while, and showed a cute expression. When he smiled, two dimples floated on his cheeks. "That's right, little brother, then tell my elder sister, where is this place and what big city's fief?"
If you know which big city is here, you can find the city. If you find the city, you can figure out the situation in the wilderness world in the west. I hope that this bullshit place will be as primitive as this village. However, this ghost place just has no unified country and may not be so backward in civilization.
"Finding?" the child laughed and waved his hand. "That kind of thing does not exist. Since our ancestors settled here, they have never been anyone's fief."
Your ancestors came to this world!
Lin Tao widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Feng Qiang and the others, and their eyes also showed unexpected expressions.
Lin Tao looked at the child seriously and asked as if confirmation: "You just said, when your ancestors came to this world?"
The child blinked, nodded, and said, "Yes, when our ancestors came to this world. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, our ancestors were not from this world. Forget it, you may not believe these things even if you say them. Also, I don't want to talk to you, I want to talk to the beautiful big sister over there."
Lin Tao felt speechless, Feng Qiang covered his mouth and smiled, patted the child's head, and said, "Then tell me about the beautiful big sister, aren't your ancestors from this world?"
The child nodded and said, "I know, you must think I'm talking nonsense, but that's the truth! They come from a world called the Immortal Realm, well, this is the name."
Feng Qiang was shocked. Could it be that someone in the fairy world had discovered this real world before them and settled here? Listening to the tone of this child, it was definitely not a story that was made up casually to win the favor of Feng Qiang. Even if it was made up casually, it would never be possible to know the term "Immortal World"!
Feng Qiang opened his mouth and was about to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by a voice coldly, "What are the nonsense here? What are the immortal worlds and not the immortal world? Let's talk about the stories you fantasy about?"
The child was striking all over, and a middle-aged man walked slowly over. He lowered his head and whispered, "Uncle San."
Uncle San looked at Lin Tao and others vigilantly and said, "You are from other places, right? Look at you, you are strangers, not like residents in nearby cities."
Feng Qiang smiled and said, "Brother, we just heard from this child that the ancestors here came from the fairy world. Do you know about this?"
A strange look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he shook his head calmly, saying, "From the fairy world? You probably heard this guy talk nonsense again, fantasizing about the fairy world and the dragon world every day. Our ancestors were originally from the Wei Kingdom. Later, they moved here and have lived here for hundreds of years. I have never heard of any fairy world."
Perhaps seeing a few people with suspicion on their faces, the middle-aged man patted the back of the child's head and added: "This kid likes to say things like the fairy world every day, all of which he imagined. You shouldn't take it seriously, right?"
Feng Qiang frowned, feeling that the middle-aged man had something to hide from them. She was about to say something to the middle-aged man, but Lin Tao quickly blocked her behind and gave the middle-aged man a smile, saying, "Haha, how could it be taken seriously? We just think this kid said it is quite interesting. He has a nose and eyes, so he just teases him."
Feng Qiang looked at Lin Tao in confusion, his eyes containing the meaning of inquiry, as if he was saying, why not explain truthfully? Lin Tao just nodded slightly, his movements were very light.
"Huh," the middle-aged man sighed and said, "That's good, that's good."
Without saying hello, he took the child's hand and turned around and left. As soon as he took a few steps, Lin Tao suddenly shouted from behind: "Brother, I forgot to ask something just now, what is the name of this village? Where is the nearby city-state?"
The middle-aged man stopped and looked back at them: "This village is called Bulaoquan, is it a nearby city... Ask others, I am not familiar with the road."
