Chapter 3 Hengyang, the city of soldiers

Wen Bufan opened his eyes, and there was a big road in front of him, and there was a boulder standing on the side of the road, and two big characters "Hengyang" were written on the boulder. Seeing these two words, and seeing the bleak autumn mood around me, when I looked up, there was a group of geese flying south in the sky. I think of my state of mind that I have a home that I can't return to. Wen Bufan suddenly thought of a word he liked very much, so he said it casually:

The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang go without paying attention.

The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan.

Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and the general's white hair is crying.

At this time, although Wen Bufan was not a white-haired husband, it was difficult to go home, so a fisherman's proud chant was full of emotion. Touching the scene, Wen Bufan couldn't help but sigh, and habitually touched the little monkey on his shoulder, and at this time there was a cheer behind him.

Wen Bufan looked back and saw an old man in cloth clothes, about sixty years old, looking at him with a blazing gaze. The old man walked up to Wen Bufan, looked at him with appreciation, and asked, "Good poetry!" is so literary at a young age! Have you ever been a soldier? ”

"No, it's just touching the scene and feeling it." Wen Bufan already knew at this time that he was not in the original world, so he did not explain that this fisherman's pride was not made by himself.

"Homesick?" The old man asked.

Wen Bufan nodded.

"Then why don't you go home?" The old man asked again.

Wen Bufan shook his head slowly, "I can't go back." ”

"And where are you going now?"

"Go to the Great Snow Field and find the ladder."

"Oh? Big snowfield? Find the ladder. The old man looked at Wen Bufan, "The big snow field is north of Hengyang, out of the Blue Mountain Pass, all the way to the north. But the ladder, over the years, many people have searched for it, but they haven't found it. ”

"Old man, where is this? When is this time? Seeing that this old man was kind and kind, Wen Bufan blurted out the question he had been puzzled about before.

The old man originally thought that Wen Bufan would ask him about the ladder, but he didn't want Wen Bufan to ask such a sentence.

The old man looked at Wen Bufan, pointed to the big stone on the side of the road, and said, "This place is called Hengyang." It should be autumn at this time. ”

"It's not an old man, what I want to ask is, is this the earth? What dynasty is it now? Wen Bufan was a little anxious.

"Earth? Never heard of it. Dynasty? What is it? The old man looked puzzled.

"And what's the name of this land? Who is in charge of the most important thing now? ”

"Haha," the old man looked at Wen Bufan and smiled: "The place we are standing in now is called the Central Domain, but it is already very close to the Northern Domain." ”

"That is to say, the east is the Eastern Regions, the west is the Western Regions, and the south is the Southern Regions?" Wen Bufan asked.

"Yes." The old man nodded, "Oh, by the way, the biggest steward now is called the king. ”

"The King?" Wen Bufan was completely confused, it seemed that he had not traveled back to ancient times, but came to a strange place, where he didn't know if it was the earth.

"Then why did I come to this place all at once?" Wen Bufan asked another thing that he didn't understand.

"Portals. Hold your breath and you'll be able to reach the designated location in a while. The old man said.

Wen Bufan felt that he had to digest and digest it well, and he was silent quietly.

The old man looked at Wen Bufan and asked, "I happened to be heading north, do you want to go along?" ”

Wen Bufan nodded and went north with the old man.

Along the way, the old man explained to Wen Bufan about the things on this continent. Wen Bufan has a preliminary understanding of this continent.

The continent has no name, but is divided into five regions: southeast, northwest, and north. The countries established in the Middle and Middle Regions were Yanshan in the Middle Regions and Donglai in the Eastern Regions, respectively. There are many islands in the southern region, and there are no countries, but there are some tribes. The Northern Regions are the world of aliens, and the old men of the Western Regions don't seem to know very well. The Thousand Miles of Snow Fields is located in the west of the Northern Regions. Because of the legend of the ladder, many people have gone to look for it. Some people didn't find it, some didn't, and I don't know if the reason they didn't come back was because they found the ladder or if they stayed in the snowfield forever.

"What the hell is a ladder?"

"The ladder is said to be a ladder to the place where the gods live."

"So, can I go home?"

"This, I don't know. However, if there really are immortals, it must not be difficult to go home! ”

Talking to the old man, he unconsciously entered Hengyang City. Hengyang City seems to have become a military city. Everywhere there are soldiers and generals waiting to go, and there is not a single common man in sight.

"Why are there all soldiers here?" Wen Bufan asked puzzled.

The old man led Wen Bufan to the city wall and pointed to the northeast that was not far away: "There are also people of different races who want to find the ladder. And the Blue Mountain Pass is an easy road. Looking at Wen Bufan's puzzled face, the old man continued: "This was discovered by chance many years ago, it turned out that there was no level there, but one year, a person accidentally found that there was a fixed portal there. It is possible to teleport people directly into the interior of the snowfield, instead of braving the wind and snow to walk into the snowfield. And this portal is accessible to and from each other. So humans built the Blue Mountain Pass there. It is convenient for humans to enter and exit freely, but unfortunately there are too many people in and out, and the aliens soon learn the secret. They also want to get shortcut, so there are frequent wars here. ”

The old man said it very easily, but Wen Bufan broke out in a cold sweat, this big snowfield is indeed dangerous, and there are aliens? "Whose hands is the Blue Mountain Pass in now?" Wen Bufan asked.

"In the hands of aliens." The old man said lightly, ignoring Wen Bufan's injured little heart, and continued: "If it is in the hands of our humans, the aliens can still brave the storm to enter the interior of the Great Snow Field. However, we humans must pass through the Blue Mountains Pass to enter the Great Snow Field. ”

The old man looked at Wen Bufan and said, "Scared? If you're afraid, you don't have to go. ”

"No, what I promised others is to be done, and I want to go home!" Wen Bufan said firmly: "You must have a way? ”

"There is a way, you know that human nature is greedy, and the same is true for aliens, as long as you have money." The old man said.

"But I don't have any money." Wen Bufan looked disappointed.

"Then it can't be helped. You're a good little monkey, you can sell it for money. The old man just finished speaking

Wen Bufan then said: "Don't sell!" The little monkey seemed to understand, and bared his teeth at the old man.

The old man snorted: "There is another way, that is, you go hunting, the barracks here buy furs all year round, and if you get the best furs, you can sell them for money." If you have cherished fur, you can also go directly to bribe foreigners. ”

"Hunting, yes." Hearing that there were other ways to make money, Wen Bufan immediately came to his senses. But when I think about it, I am just an ordinary little clerk, where can I hunt.

The old man saw that Wen Bufan's face was embarrassed, and asked, "Little brother doesn't know how to hunt?" ”

Wen Bufan, who originally wanted to answer no, didn't know what to think, so he blurted out: "Who said I wouldn't?" ”

The old man nodded, "It'll be fine!" Out of Hengyang City, there is a mountain in the northwest, and the mountain name is 'Twilight Snow'. There are many birds and animals in the mountains, and the more birds and animals there are in the mountains, the more dangerous they become. Little brother do what he can! ”

"Thank you for the reminder. Oh, I don't know what the old man is called? ”

"Thistle."

Bidding farewell to Lin Ji, Wen Bufan left Hengyang City and went straight to the northwest. After walking for a short time, I saw a majestic mountain range standing not far ahead. Wen Bufan said to the little monkey: "It's the mountain in front!" "It is customary to touch the little monkey with my hands. I was empty. Wen Bufan turned his head to see that the little monkey was nowhere to be found.

Helplessly, Wen Bufan had to come to the foot of the mountain alone, and there were more and more pedestrians. As soon as Wen Bufan inquired, it turned out that there was a town in front. This town was originally small in scale, but later because of the war between humans and aliens, it often affected Hengyang, so most of the people in Hengyang City moved out of Hengyang City. Some people are reluctant to move too far, but Dusk Snow Town is not far from Hengyang City, and there is no alien harassment. Therefore, Duxue Town has become the first choice for people moving away from Hengyang City. So what was originally just a small Twilight Snow Town gradually became a big town.

Wen Bufan also inquired about something he was very interested in. Tang Shaochu, the only son of the Tang family among the three big families in Duxue Town, has been ill for a long time and is offering a reward for treatment, and the bounty is quite rich. It is rumored that the young master of the Tang family was captured by demons. Because the Tang family invited many Lang Zhong, the young master of the Tang family still did not see any improvement. The Tang family invited many monks, although they did not cure the illness of the young master of the Tang family. But the rumor that the young master of the Tang family was captured by demons became more and more true.

Wen Bufan, who comes from the civilized world, naturally doesn't believe in any demons. Relying on the fact that he had studied some medicine, and he needed money at the moment, Wen Bufan went directly to the Tang Mansion when he arrived in the town and explained his intentions. I thought it would be best to cure the young master of the Tang family. Even if it can't be cured, at least you can stay in Tang Mansion for a few days and learn about the situation here. As for whether he can see the young master of the Tang family, Wen Bufan is convinced of one sentence - he rushed to the doctor when he was sick. Soon Wen Bufan proved himself right. Although everyone from Tang Xi, the lord of the Tang Mansion, to the sweeping and miscellaneous servants of the Tang Mansion, all distrusted Wen Bufan, Wen Bufan still came to the bedside of Tang Shaochu, the young master of the Tang family.

The young master of the Tang family was lying quietly on the bed, his face a little pale. The others didn't see anything wrong, just stared blankly and looked upward. Wen Bufan tried the pulse of the young master of the Tang family again, and it was normal. Could it be that the soul of the demon has been taken by the heart? Wen Bufan thought secretly, and then shook his head again to deny his thoughts, and then looked at Young Master Tang's eyes, and suddenly remembered the demeanor of a lovelorn friend before, Wen Bufan patted his head and had an idea.

Wen Bufan tested his pulse for a while, shook his head for a while, and patted his head for a while. is a little different, which makes the Tang family's eyes look at him with respect.

Wen Bufan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then motioned for Master Tang to speak outside the house.

The two came to a side hall, sat down, and a maid brought tea. Master Tang opened his mouth and asked, "Is my son evil?" Can it be saved? ”

Wen Bufan picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at Master Tang, and said slowly: "Ling Gongzi's illness can be saved!"
