In the spring of March 27th of the Xinmao year, the First Emperor ordered Xu Fu to lead 500 boys and girls, plus more than 3,000 sailors and archers from the White House, carrying a large amount of supplies and setting off from Magushan into the sea to find the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor. Thinking of encountering a storm at sea, when they finally arrived on an island after going through all kinds of hardships, they found that they had lost their way and had no idea where they were.
The island is very desolate, but in the center of the island there is a huge light door. Everything inside the door is clearly visible. It is a plain with all kinds of plants growing, with lush branches and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers. Light drifts to the island.
When everyone stepped into the light door, they were horrified to find that the light door behind them disappeared, and they could only stay here from now on.
They also tried to travel around the world, looking for a way back, but found that this was just an isolated continent, and the edge of the continent was endless void. There were no stars, no moon, and never darkness. It was always like dusk and dawn. status.
After countless generations of exploration, they gradually became desperate and called this place the Forgotten Land.
They discovered a place that was inaccessible no matter how hard they walked, and after many years of exploration, they called it the Temple of Time.
They also discovered another mysterious place, where a very powerful force was guarding and no living beings were allowed to approach.
Later, someone approached by chance. Everyone thought he was dead, but after many years, he came out still the same as when he went in, and all his friends and relatives who knew him had He became an old man, and even his children were older than him.
So people called that place the place where time stagnated, but this term was too long, and later it was gradually changed to the place of eternity.
They also discovered a place where time was chaotic, just the opposite of the Eternal Land, with a large area where people could age instantly, so people called it the Land of Aging.
As for the place where we first set foot in this forgotten land, it was also the place where the Kunjia people appeared, so it was called the Exiled Land.
In the past, the situation there was not what it is now. It was full of vegetation just like our place. Later, a shocking war occurred, which turned the place into red rocks.
We Hanoi people came here first, and the Kunjia people came thousands of years later than us, but their technology is countless times more advanced than ours.
When we first came here, the beasts here were very scary. In order to survive, we had to be in a state of fighting at all times. This was originally a very vast swamp of water. We lived by the water. Although our lives were hard, fortunately there were no No matter what the conflict, everyone is happy with it.
Later, the Kunjia people also came here. They brought powerful technology and tried to enslave us. The two of us fought for many years. Because of this competitive relationship, both of us developed very fast. We continued to study the Kunjia people. Although I learned very little from their technology, it also developed to a certain extent.
Of course, the Kunjia people are also learning from us. Our family concepts, our cultural customs, and our loyalty to our relatives have all become the objects of learning for the Kunjia people.
Because of the war and the rich resources here, we had a short-term prosperity. When our cumulative number reached one million, unexpected disasters struck. At that time, we discovered that we and the Kunjia people were not the same. The enemy, our common enemy is actually those bastards in Eternal Land.
This is not a forgotten land at all, this is a breeding land.
Those bastards in the Land of Eternity will open portals on all the planets with humans in our universe, lure us into the Land of Oblivion, and then let us develop and recuperate here until we develop to a certain level, then they will come over Harvest.
Their first harvest of us reduced our strength by 9/10. Together with the Kunjia people, we put aside all conflicts and faced the enemy together. However, the enemy was too powerful, and we ended up with a tragic defeat.
It was also that battle that turned the entire place of exile into the Red Rock Gobi, and this stretch of water turned into a low plain.
They didn't kill us all, they didn't kill all the children, they didn't hurt the old people, they just kidnapped our young adults.
This has happened six times in history, and unfortunately, there's a good chance you'll be with us for the seventh time.
After Meng Qingxiao frowned and listened, he was silent for a long time before he said, "How often do they come here?"
"There shouldn't be an accurate time for this. I have to go back and check to find out. Anyway, they will come over when they think we have almost recovered. The first time we had millions of people, the second time we didn't have that many people. , but there were more than 800,000 people, and this time we also had more than 500,000 people."
"The reason why we are killing each other now is to artificially reduce the number of people and at the same time increase everyone's combat effectiveness in this way. Now we always control the population within 300,000. As long as it exceeds 300,000, we will try every means To reduce the number of people, such as the Green Bamboo Forest Survival Challenge you see now, they are not worthy of death, but for the safety of all mankind, they must die."
Meng Qingxiao was most disgusted by hearing such words, why some people should be sacrificed for the safety of all mankind? What kind of bullshit reason is this? Since we are going to die, why don't you senior leaders die?
Everyone has the right to live, and it is fascist behavior to easily deprive others of life and death.
So he immediately glared and said viciously: "I think it's you self-righteous guys who deserve to die the most. You think your own life is more noble than other people's lives. Anyone who has this idea deserves to die."
This man did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and said to Meng Qingxiao: "I don't object to your desire to establish an absolutely fair society. Not only do I not object, I will support you. As long as you are willing to become the king, you I support all decisions made.”
"You haven't mentioned this matter for a long time. Why do you want me to be king?"
"That's about it." The man said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhao Zhe. I am the patrol envoy of the Qin Dynasty. I am responsible for traveling around the world, collecting people's sufferings, and then reporting them to the King of Qin."
"Then you are not a big official, but you want me to be the king. You are suspected of being a rebel."
"Haha, don't get me wrong, it's not me who makes you the king, but Jing Gong. In our Qin Dynasty, even the King of Qin must obey Jing Gong's decision."
"It's just the Supreme Emperor. I know that when people like this put themselves above the emperor, they usually don't end well."
Zhao Zhe said helplessly: "Jinggong doesn't care about worldly affairs. He has worked hard all his life for the destiny of mankind. His lifelong wish is to lead us out of the land of oblivion and return to our hometown."
"I understand. This kind of person deserves respect. I take back what I just said." Meng Qingxiao was in awe, "You should return to the topic. Why do you want me to be the king?"
"Because you are the chosen one."
"Don't use this set of feudal superstitions to fool me. Ordinary people may believe it. Do you think I will believe it?" Meng Qingxiao said disdainfully, "Who is heaven and who is qualified to be called heaven?"
"Haha, just listen to me."
"There is an ancient book in our forgotten land, which is still updated to this day. It is called "The Chronicle of the Nimbus". The fact that you came here has been recorded in it 3 million years ago."
"Holy crap, is it really true?"
"The original text is this, see if you can match it: After a thousand rounds, a person chosen by heaven will come. He is the queen of the saint of the ancestral land of our human race. If he is the master, he can lead our race back to the ancestral land."
"Finished?"
"It's over."
"That's it. What does this mean?"
"This is a history book, not a biography. Besides, ancient people's notebooks are concise and to the point."
Meng Qingxiao was still quite shocked. He had never believed in fortune-telling. Of course, he regarded the Zhouyi Bagua as a classic, but it did not refer to the divination aspect, but to the propagation of the book itself. thought of.
Meng Qingxiao thought for a while and asked: "From the story you told above, it can be seen that you are indeed from Earth, and you are descendants of Xu Fu."
"Xu Fu's deeds are very famous even now. The current historians have two conjectures about Xu Fu's whereabouts. One is that they disappeared and eventually died in the sea. The other is that they arrived at a small island overseas. The island has been settled, I didn’t expect you to come here.”
"Am I the only one who has come here after all these years? I mean besides you."
"Of course not. People will still be transported here from time to time in future generations, but you are the only one who meets the conditions of the Chosen One."
"How can you confirm that I am a saint?"
"I can't confirm it, and I don't have the ability, but Jing Gong can confirm it. No one will doubt his words."
"Speaking of which, may I ask what your real name is?"
Meng Qingxiao no longer concealed anything and said, "My name is Meng Qingxiao."
"Are any of your ancestors saints?"
Meng Qingxiao nodded and said: "Yes, it is Mencius, whose real name is Meng Ke. He was a figure in the Warring States Period. If you have history books, you should know this figure, because he was born at least earlier than your ancestors who left their ancestral land. For decades, he was as famous as Confucius, and later generations were called the two sages Confucius and Mencius."
"Haha, isn't this right? The ancients never deceived me."
Meng Qingxiao asked in disbelief: "Is there really anyone who can calculate so accurately?"
"The study of Yili is complex and profound. It is not something that a mediocre person like me can say. However, Jinggong's calculations have never made mistakes. I have no doubt about this."
Meng Qingxiao expressed his position: "I have no interest in being crowned king or not, but my goal is indeed to return to my hometown. If I must be crowned king to return to my hometown, then I don't mind being your king."
Zhao Zhe praised: "Have you ever thought that it is your mentality that gives you the possibility of becoming a king?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. In life, no one can hide from the word profit. Even a person who has no desires or pursuits still needs to wear clothes and eat. As long as he has a life needs, then he must have interests to appeal for.”
Meng Qingxiao said helplessly: "You have to change your habit of long speeches. It's really difficult for you to explain clearly in one sentence."
"Haha, profit does not necessarily refer to money, it can also refer to power and magical power, or even the yearning for the unknown."
"Alas!" Meng Qingxiao was completely defeated by this guy.
"It is in everyone's interest to let you be king. Do you understand?"
"Why is it in everyone's interest for me to be king? Can you just treat me like a three-year-old child? Do you also explain this to a three-year-old child?"
