A figure walked out of the innermost house. The figure had white beard and hair. He was wearing a dark purple loose long coat. There were six embroidery lines on the wide cuffs, each line was circular, and the pattern was extremely complicated and delicate.
The patriarch of Zhucun, Qingzhang, arrived. The wrinkles on his face did not make him look older, but made him look more serious.
The clan leader's retreat made the child named Shi immediately wilt. He pouted and stepped aside, obviously showing respect and fear for the clan leader. This was actually his grandfather. His full name was not Shi, but Qingshi.
"Guest, you are here by luck, please come inside."
The patriarch, Qingzhang, did not show any hostility. He was not too enthusiastic, but he was not xenophobic either.
"Then you're welcome."
Baha answered and prepared the bad guys to fight to the end. The previous tentative behavior would most likely arouse the dissatisfaction of the patriarch, Qingzhang.
"Lord Liu, you are coming too."
"Ah? Me? It's better not to give it up."
The young man in white, Lyu, who was about to run away, turned around, smiled and scratched his head.
"How could the guests you brought be so rude?"
"Hey~, I knew it."
Liu took a few steps forward and put one hand on Xiao Qingshi's shoulder. Xiao Qingshi trembled obviously. He was actually about to run away, but he was caught by Liu. Good brothers, let's share weal and woe~
"Don't even think about running away."
"I, I still want to practice swordsmanship..."
With Xiao Qingshi's struggle, he was dragged into the house at the innermost side of the courtyard.
Compared with other stone-thatched houses in Zhucun, this house is larger, with a gabled roof, and the slopes on the front and rear sides are also covered with straw. The gray-yellow straw is very smooth.
After walking into the house, Su Xiao was surprised by the furnishings. The floor was paved with smooth polished wooden boards, and there were paintings hanging on the walls. There was an altar at the innermost side of the house, and on the wall above it was the word 'Ba'.
A bamboo incense stick was placed on the altar, emitting green smoke.
On the far left side of the room is a screen with green bamboo paintings on it. On the far right side are more than a dozen bamboo plaques. Each bamboo plaque has a name. On it, Su Xiao noticed two names, 'Green Fire'
With 'Bamboo Ghost'.
What worries Su Xiao even more is that since Xiao Qingshi entered the room, he never looked at the bamboo signs on the far right side of the room. This was because he was deliberately not looking there.
"Qinghuo and Bamboo Ghost are Xiao Qingshi's parents and have passed away."
The clan leader, Qingzhang, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the low table, said, yes, the perception and insight of a strong swordsman is so terrifying. In battle, he can see even the smallest flaws of the enemy, let alone in life.
"Qingshi, you go out and play."
Liu, who was sitting at the low table, spoke up and patted Xiao Qingshi on the back. He had forgotten about this just now.
"Um."
Little Qingshi ran out of the room. After a while, he and his playmates laughed. This little brat was obviously a drama queen. He had never actually met his parents, so how could he feel sad.
"The three of you who have come from afar, since you have arrived at Zhucun, please stay here temporarily. We will set off again in five days, heading east, and you will reach Shengshou Country in about three days."
The Shengshou Kingdom mentioned by the patriarch is one of the two major kingdoms, Shengshou and Xita. The two countries have been in alliance for a long time. One is in the nearby area and the other is on the west side of the continent. They are both absolute overlords.
There are hundreds of small countries surrounding the two countries. The populations of these small countries range from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. Compared to the two behemoths Shengshou and Xita, these small countries have no capital to be hostile to them.
The name of the Holy Shou Kingdom comes from its geographical location during the Fallen God War. The Holy Shou Kingdom was like a holy wall, guarding the front line of the human race. During the war, even the strongest men and soldiers in the country suffered 80% casualties.
Above, the Holy Shouguo still did not retreat at all, firmly blocking the front line, preventing the ancient gods and their families from crossing the border.
Compared with the current Sita Kingdom, the Holy Shou Kingdom has declined a lot. The War of Meteor God has only ended more than ten years ago. With the original tragedy, the Holy Shou Kingdom will have to recover for at least several decades, or even a hundred years, before it can return to its former strength.
Too many strong people died there.
"Five days from now?"
Su Xiao was a little confused as to why the clan leader Qingzhang asked him to leave after five days.
"There has been no moon at night for the past few days. Rumor has it that strange things will happen on moonless nights, so be careful."
The patriarch, Qingzhang, did not make it too clear. After a brief conversation, the patriarch asked Su Xiao to temporarily live in the house on the right side of the courtyard. It is said that this was the residence of his daughter Qinghuo and her husband Zhugui.
After leaving the back room, Su Xiao came to the right side of the courtyard. After pushing open the somewhat old wooden door, a very neat room came into view. Obviously, someone often tidied the room.
There is not a double bed in the room, but a single bed. This means that Qinghuo and Bamboo Ghost must have passed away a long time ago, and this room was used as a room to entertain guests.
Sitting on the small wooden bed, Su Xiao had many things that he couldn't figure out. The first was the young man in white, Liu. This young man was too ambitious. He brought an unknown person to Bamboo Village, and the other person also lived in Bamboo Village. Obviously
This is because they have a lot of confidence in the villagers in Zhucun.
The second thing is that the clan leader called Lyu 'sir', but then he called him "you" instead of "you". This means that Lyu has a high status but has lived in Bamboo Village for a long time.
What is most difficult for Su Xiao to understand is the patriarch Qingzhang. Based on Su Xiao's perception, assuming that Qingzhang faced the Penier sisters from the previous world, the winning rate of the patriarch Qingzhang would be over 60%.
Su Xiao doesn't think this is the comprehensive combat power of this world, so he won't continue to explore. His initial teleport point is nearby. Samsara Paradise teleported himself to this location. There is obviously a reason. The main mission did not give any
Clues, the suspicion that Takemura is special was confirmed.
The clothing of the villagers in Bamboo Village is very similar to that of the Tianba people in the Abyss World. When King Tie Yu had a decisive battle with Su Xiao, the Snake of the Abyss prepared similar attire for the opponent, with clothes with wide cuffs, but in King Tie Yu's
There is no embroidery on the cuffs.
Not only that, when Su Xiao went down to the bottom of the abyss, she saw many houses with thatched roofs. Those houses also had gabled roofs, and the slopes on the front and back were covered with straw.
At first, Su Xiao thought that those buildings were teleported from the Kingdom of God above the abyss, and some were even only half of them.
But after arriving at the Kingdom of God above the abyss, Su Xiao discovered that although the architectural style of the Kingdom of God was similar, it was not a grass roof, but a tile roof.
Su Xiao obtained the [Source] in the Abyss World. Obviously, the Abyss World is connected to the Source World.
It is not that the abyss world affects the source world, but that part of the source world is transported to the abyss for some reason, and there is a piece of [source] in it.
At first, the Abyss Snakes and the Abyss Refugees lived in the Abyss. They discovered these buildings and the [Source], and then there was the Kingdom of God on the other side of the Abyss.
Originally, the Kingdom of Gods was supposed to be a wilderness. After the neutral gods were slaughtered by the Saints, the Abyss Snakes and the Abyss Refugees climbed up the cliffs, arrived here, and established a civilization here.
Because the Snake of the Abyss obtained [Source], and the development method of [Source] is simple, this time there is the Tianba tribe of the Kingdom of God.
For them, Tianba is a legend. They actually don’t know where the legend comes from. Only the Snake of the Abyss knows that the two characters Tianba are the two words written on the wooden box that once contained the [Source].
words.
Just by looking at it, the Abyss Snake understood these two words and called those who drank the water of the source. After that, more people drank the water of the source, and they became the Tianba tribe.
What the Snake of the Abyss and all the Tianba tribe in the Abyss don't know is that the word Tianba is actually the name of a certain person. In the world of origin, the first person to kill gods was named Tianba. The ancient gods he killed were...
Completely different from the neutral gods in the abyss world, the ancient gods evolved from monsters, and they are better at fighting.
At the same level, the ancient gods can lift up and draw neutral gods. Among the gods, the only ones who can stand on an equal footing with them are the ancient gods who are also good at fighting.
There is also an essential difference between the ancient gods and the ancient gods. The ancient gods are terrifying, strange, and powerful, and some even feed on the fear of living beings, while the ancient gods obviously have a different style.
Suppose a bunch of ancient gods really come to this world, then this world will not even have sunlight. The world will even be 'sucked' to the point of dryness and eventually collapse. There will not be the scene of clear skies now.
Su Xiao didn't know whether her conjecture was correct. Judging from the current situation, the abyss world was only slightly affected by the source.
There is a large piece of [Source] in the current world of sources. What will happen here is completely unknown.
Su Xiao lay on the small wooden bed and took a nap. He was waiting for nightfall. Something strange would happen on a moonless night. He was ready to see what this strange thing was, and it would make even the patriarch Qingzhang feel afraid.
