Walking through the dense forest and arriving at the westernmost part of the isolated island, in a valley surrounded by mountains and rivers on three sides, Han Kongwen finally saw the mysterious ancient town.

Standing on the top of the mountain, with the help of the most advanced vision module, Han Kongwen has a general understanding of the ancient town.

The 31.1-square-kilometre town is a circular town with four main roads that run straight through the center of the town, as well as thirteen regular ring roads around the center of the town.

According to the sampling data, there are about 19,000 buildings in the town, of which more than 18,000 buildings have almost the same overall structure, all of which are two-story pure wooden structures with green tiles on the top floor.

The other more than 1,000 buildings are different, but looking at their size and layout, they should be functional facilities in the town, such as schools, hospitals, warehouses, and so on......

It was noon when Han Kongwen and the others came to the top of the mountain.

The town is full of smoke, and there are many pedestrians.

Looking at the scene in front of him, for a moment, Han Kongwen thought that he had traveled to a very ancient era.

Jin Yinger said: "The car is waiting at the bottom of the mountain, let's hurry up." ”

So saying, he went down the mountain.

Han Kongwen was a little strange...... It stands to reason that they could fly to the ancient town, which would be faster and less time-consuming.

But all the way through.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding on the road, and no one spoke.

Although Han Kongwen had many doubts in his heart, he also chose not to ask.

She's going to see for herself.

……

As Jin Yinger said, there is a car waiting at the foot of the mountain.

But it is not the current technological product that Han Kongwen thinks...... It's a pristine ox cart pulled by musk oxen.

The driver was a white-bearded old man in a coarse cloth coat.

When he saw Jin Ying'er, the old man looked very respectful, he took a small wooden ladder from the car and put it behind the car, and then said, "Mr. came back early today, and the little old man just lit the pipe." ”

Han Kongwen listened to it clearly, but this "gentleman" ...... What is it called?

Jin Ying'er smiled when she heard this: "There are guests coming today, you should drive slower later, don't bump the guests." ”

After hearing this, the old man glanced at Han Kongwen behind Jin Ying'er, and then nodded with a smile: "Little old man understands, sir, please get in the car." ”

The more Han Kongwen listened, the more strange it became, what era was this way of dialogue?

When everyone got into the car, they heard only a shout and a whip, and the ox cart began to move forward leisurely.

Han Kongwen sat between Nie Yunji and Su Mi, with Bai Ze who closed his eyes and Jin Ying'er who was smiling in front of him.

Finally...... Han Kongwen still couldn't help it.

Dr. Kim...... What the hell is going on? Is it some kind of ritual or rule? ”

Jin Yinger didn't speak, but PIPI in her arms couldn't be happy.

Han Kongwen frowned unhappily and said, "Hey, what are you laughing at?" ”

PIPI SMILED AND SAID, "YOU GUESSED IT, THAT'S THE RULE HERE!" Anyone entering or leaving this Rasheng town must follow the rules. ”

Rasheng Town?

"Uh...... I don't understand. "Han Kongwen really doesn't understand, what kind of rules is this.

If you don't use technology, you have to live in a very old way...... Isn't that a witch?

This time, not only PIPI smiled, but Bai Ze also smiled.

Now Han Kongwen is really angry.

"Hey?!"

Su Mi was much kinder in the end, she quietly pulled Han Kongwen's clothes and said, "Sister, I'll tell you a story."

bar. ”

When Han Kongwen heard this, she calmed down, she looked at Su Mi quietly and said, "Well, you say." ”

……

Sumi's story is simple.

It's about a group of fugitive refugees adrift on the sea.

Just when they thought they were going to die, they inadvertently broke into the territory of the Xuantian Sect and landed on the isolated island where the Xuanao Sect was located.

At that time, the sect master of the Xuanao Great Sect was Luo Shengtian's master Xiu Luo Chan.

Xiu Luochan is the most special one among the sect masters of the Xuanao Sect in the past dynasties.

Not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but he also often travels to the world, and because of his male and female appearance, he is often misunderstood, and there are countless admirers.

But this master Xiu Luochan is not interested in the love and love of ordinary people at all.

He traveled the world in search of an answer.

But as for what this answer means, Xiu Luochan has never mentioned it to anyone.

Later, during the Talasha Dynasty, Xiu Luochan returned to the Xuanao Sect and went into retreat, and everything was handed over to the eldest disciple Luo Shengtian.

For nearly a hundred years after that, Luo Shengtian managed the Xuanao Sect on his behalf.

It wasn't until ten years before Xiu Luochan left the customs that Luo Shengtian saw this group of fugitives on the island.

Most of these people are old and weak, women and children, and there are almost no adult men in sight.

The general who led them to escape to sea was also killed when the transport ship was shot down.

Led fugitives just want to live.

However, according to the rules set by Xiu Luochan before, the territory of the Xuanao Sect is not allowed to allow outsiders from non-sects to settle in.

However, Luo Shengtian broke this rule and found a place for the refugees in the westernmost valley of the island.

It was not an easy task to settle refugees, and there were only fifteen people in the entire sect of the Xuanao Great Sect at that time.

Fifteen people were more difficult than they imagined to manage these seven hundred people.

So from the very beginning, Luo Shengtian set rules for them.

The first is to exchange the technology products on your body for seeds, and if you want to live here, you can no longer contact the technology products.

Second, the town must make offerings to the Xuanao Great Sect every year, but you must not leave the valley to visit any area outside the valley, otherwise life and death will matter.

Thirdly, after the town is built, the young people of the town may leave the town at any time after they have reached the age of sixteen, but they may not attempt to return after leaving.

The above three rules were formulated by Luo Shengtian himself.

For more than 1,000 years, the original refugees built the current town of Rasheng in this valley, and they have always strictly followed the rules set by Rashengtian.

In the past thousand years, a total of 135 people have chosen to leave, and three of them have tried to find a way home, but they all disappeared in the vast sea.

……

The story is over, and it's dry.

Moreover, Han Kongwen's most concerned question has still not been answered.

Sumi simply said who made the town's origins and rules...... But it doesn't explain why there are such rules, and what is the layout of the town.

Listening to the story, the car has entered the town.

Through the car window, Han Kongwen saw that the people on the street were saluting the car, and some old people even knelt on the ground and saluted, looking very respectful.

Han Kongwen had only seen this scene in books, but he didn't expect that one day he would really be in it.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Jin Ying'er asked.

Han Kongwen turned his head: "You have a very high status here?" ”

Jin Ying'er smiled: "They worship 'sir', not me."

”

"Not you? What about that? ”

"The title of Fang Cai is a general term, and 'sir' here does not refer to a specific person, but a kind of faith."

Faith......

Han Kongwen understood, she looked at the others in the car and said, "You are all 'sir'?" ”

Bai Ze smiled and said nothing, while Su Mi and Neyun Ji shook their heads at the same time and said, "No, we are not. ”

"Huh?"

PIPI suddenly jumped over at this time, stood on Han Kongwen's lap and said, "Are you stupid, our Xuanao Great Sect is their benefactor, how can it be 'sir'." ”

Hearing this, Han Kongwen pinched PIPI's little face and smiled: "Then smart man, can you tell me, who is 'sir'?" ”

PIPI's little face was pinched and hurt, and after screaming twice, he said, "It hurts, it hurts!" You badass! ”

Han Kongwen let go, but didn't let go of PIPI, she picked up PIPI and asked, "Can you talk about it now?" Little Clever Ghost? ”

PIPI rubbed his cheeks and said, "Hmph, what I wanted to say just now, I'm not happy now, so I won't say it." ”

Han Kongwen's smiling expression reappeared when he heard this.

PIPI shuddered and said obediently, "Oh, it's not a big secret...... If only you should think of 'sir' as someone who is knowledgeable, well-behaved, and respected. ”

"Well......" Han Kongwen was clear, but she always felt that it was not that simple.

Because this is not the first time that the title "sir" has appeared in Han Kongwen's ears.

She clearly remembered that long before the Tulaya incident broke out, Han Wensheng had mentioned "sir" to her, as well as the words "guest" and "writer" related to "sir".

If ordinary people hear these three words, they generally don't think much about it, and they just regard it as the most common noun.

But the three words mentioned by Han Wensheng are obviously not so simple.

It's just that there are so many things that happened later...... Han Kongwen didn't think much about it...... These things are gradually forgotten......

Now, when he heard the word "sir" again in this mysterious ancient town behind the Xuanao Great Sect, something in Han Kongwen's heart was awakened.

……

"It's here, let's get out of the car."

Saying that, Jin Yinger got out of the car first.

Han Kongwen followed and got out of the car, and then found that he had unknowingly arrived in the center of the town.

In the middle of the town there is an old tree that has long since died.

Most of its pale branches had broken off, and now only a solitary torso stood in the center of a water lily.

Seeing this white, Han Kongwen couldn't help but frown.

Jin Ying'er looked at the Shenmu in the distance and said, "Don't you feel familiar?" ”

Han Kongwen turned around and asked, "Those people you are talking about...... Where is it? ”

Jin Ying'er pointed to the courtyard beside her and said, "They live there, and you will see them when you come in." ”

Han Kongwen nodded and followed Jin Ying'er towards the courtyard.

However, after walking a few steps, I found that Bai Ze and the others did not follow.

When Han Kongwen was wondering, he heard Jin Ying'er say: "They are just the custodians of the secret, and they don't know who lives in this courtyard...... If you're worried, you can choose not to come in with me. ”

Han Kongwen smiled after hearing this, didn't say anything more, and followed Jin Ying'er.

When the courtyard door was pushed open, PIPI jumped off Han Kongwen's shoulder.

When it fell to the ground, it said to Han Kongwen: "Don't run away, there are some things, you have to see clearly to make the right decision!" ”
