"That's fine. We really should check out some places. I always feel that Jiang Qingxiao still has something he hasn't told us."
Yue Guanchao's words aroused Song Siyuan's curiosity: "How do you say it?"
He touched his nose and his tone became mysterious as he explained: "If Yu Dongjin asked Jiang Qingyu to leave, but stayed here to wait for death, I always feel it is a bit too fake. With the remnants of the army, both of them can obviously do it. Come on, why did Yu Dongjin only let Jiang Qingyu leave alone? The old Taoist priest said that Ren Dongjin died of poisoning before entrusting Jiang Qingyu to him. However, Jiang Qingxiao said that Yu Dongjin deliberately left Jiang Qingyu in order to preserve his strength. Send away."
"The two have different opinions. It is probably because they did not actually see Ren Dongjin die, and what they saw may only be part of it."
These words made Song Siyuan's eyes brighten: "Perhaps what you said is possible. Let's ask again when Mrs. Lan comes in the evening."
They had been working for a long time, and it was already dusk. When the night was full of stars, Lan Qingping walked into the house with dinner. The table was full of cups and plates, all of which were special dishes from the Wu Kingdom. After Yue Guanchao served the table, he specially placed the white hedgehog on the table. On the table, I saw that the hedgehog continued to sleep soundly, so I felt relieved to eat and drink.
When Lan Qingping saw him bringing the white hedgehog out, he said with relief: "Don't worry, I have no enmity with you, and I will never harm you. You can rest assured in my yard, but there are some things I won't do." I have to remind you that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Wu Kingdom, and no one can guarantee that their minds are pure. Once you go outside, you must be alert and don't be deceived by the Gu people."
"The shamans in the Yinping witchland become more unruly and unruly as they go towards the hills. This is equivalent to the border and slums of the witch kingdom. The shaman kingdom barely maintains order, but cannot fully grasp the situation. Once there, with few The main thing is to cause trouble.”
Song Siyuan knew nothing about this, so she looked at Lan Qingping and said, "Mr. Lan, tell us about the situation of the Wu Kingdom. We should follow the local customs so as not to violate the customs."
"Okay, you are going to the Witch God Canyon and you have to climb over the hills anyway. I will introduce you to the situation of the Witch God Kingdom."
The mandala where they are located is Wudu City. There are eighteen large towns outside Wudu City. These towns are Shenxian, Nuopan, Pengze, Gumo, Zhenheng, Yuanli, Keda and Wengxie. , Fuluo, wind god, rain god, thunder god, electric god, golden body, wood god, water god, fire god, earth god, their number ranges from nearly ten thousand to tens of thousands, and they are cast in the most fertile water network plain in the witchland.
Going further out is the village. When you reach the hilly area, even the village disappears, leaving only the tribe of Gu people. After climbing dozens of miles of hills, you reach the northern border of the Yinping Witch Realm.
According to map estimates, these towns, villages and land cover an area of approximately 200,000 square kilometers.
Overall, the Witch God Kingdom is indeed a small country, but it is not an imperial country in the traditional sense. It still retains the clan governance system from the Eight Kingdoms period. The eight civilized tribes in the Witch Kingdom will elect the leaders of their respective families. A man who served as an official in the Wushen Kingdom.
At the same time, the civil and military officials stationed in the towns by the Witch God Kingdom must cooperate with the clans in the towns in order to manage the towns well.
The leader of the Witch God Kingdom is equivalent to the patriarch of all tribes and clans. Otherwise, he mediates conflicts among various tribes. He also formulates laws, maintains public order, and collects taxes. The connection between local towns and Wudu City is not close. Only in the Witch God Kingdom Unification is implemented within the overall framework. If it involves specific city-state management, officials and city-state clans must discuss with each other to see how best to govern.
As for the villages and tribes further north, the Lord of the Witch God Kingdom is even beyond his reach!
These places are far away from the imperial city and towns. They are very similar to the Gu Miao people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. The ethnic groups are complex and have different customs. They are tough and tough, have weird temperaments, and have almost no contact with the outside world.
In fact, because some of them do not use currency, they cannot even collect taxes. They can only hand over crops to the Kingdom of the Witch God. In such places, it is often difficult to even educate them. The eight major tribes usually select the Wu Kingdom’s military guards to maintain Stabilize the situation, as long as it doesn't cause a big mess.
There are few people in the hilly areas, only watchtowers and soldiers' villages. After walking through the hills and climbing over the highest Wuhuang Mountain, you will arrive at Wushen Canyon.
Lan Qingping took advantage of the meal to introduce the situation of Wushen Kingdom clearly. Yue Guanchao and the others gradually understood the situation of Wushen Kingdom after hearing the last part. They thought that Wushen Kingdom was just a few small villages, but now they think it has The characteristics of the ancient southwestern countries are that they are small and beautiful, and the clans govern together. When there is a big problem, they unite, and when there is no big problem, they maintain their own lives independently, without interfering too much with each other.
"In ancient history, Bashu, Gushu, Yelang, Nanzhao, and Dali in the southwest were all in this state. They were condensed into countries based on the concept of Gu people, and then divided into specific ethnic groups internally, each maintaining their own customs. In this way No foreign enemies dare to provoke us easily, and we can maintain our national independence.”
"It's just!" Song Siyuan changed the topic: "The Yinping Witchland is too huge. If the area is two to three million square kilometers, it is about the same size as Shaanxi Province. The Yinping Wild Mountain is only eight hundred miles long and five meters wide. Baili, could it be that this place is about the same size as the entire Yinping Wild Mountain!"
In response to Song Siyuan's question, Lan Qingping shook his head and said: "Virtual reality cannot be measured by real space. We don't know why, but it must be related to the mirror space. There are too many unclear things in this world, and we don't know why." We can only guess that these areas do not include Wushen Gorge, but if Wushen Gorge is included, it would be even more amazing."
"Mr. Lan, since Wushen Gorge has been banned for a thousand years, does it mean that if someone escapes into it, it will be difficult for you to catch them, so you have spent two years just cleaning up the remaining forces of the Wei family. When the Wei family was destroyed, Have you ever seen the body of Yu Tokon?"
Song Siyuan went around in circles and finally asked this question. Lan Qingping thought for a moment and shook his head: "Do you know why the imperial city in the city was built on high ground?"
"Probably because the terrain is high, I can get an overview of the whole situation."
Song Siyuan's guess was obviously wrong. Lan Qingping explained in a mysterious tone: "Back then, the imperial palace of the pregnant family was built in the Wudu. After the imperial family failed, the palace was burned down, and then it was piled high by the surrounding people. The earth completely buried the mountain, and a new Imperial City of the Witch God was built on the mountain."
"All I know is that the body of Uitochin was burned to a disgraceful state along with many of his entourage. It has long been unrecognizable. He could only barely identify it through his clothes. It was indeed Utopia."
"Are you doubting that Yu Dongyun is not dead?"
Lan Qingping was shocked when he realized Song Siyuan's guess.
Some people died, but not completely...
