Traveling was a pleasant thing for the body and mind, especially the dream place in his heart.
In the past.
Before he became a mage, Tang Shidao could only rely on 'games' and 'novels' to complete his imagination. He used his brain to imagine how the ancient society operated and how the ancient people lived. Because history was constantly being revised, sometimes he would rather believe in unofficial history than believe in the new theories of experts.
Of course, he didn't watch TV series or movies.
Hehe, those were just a stage for a group of young men to perform on. They couldn't get into character, and the scripts had nothing to do with real history.
When he met Poison Master Wolf, Tang Shidao wanted to visit his world.
But.
Because it was his first time visiting ancient times, Tang Shidao was very reluctant to start from foreign ancient times.
People always kept some kind of innocence in their hearts.
Since it was his first time visiting ancient times, Tang Shidao felt that he had to start from ancient dynasties and ancient countries like Zulong Country … This was his obsession, and also the obsession of the people of Zulong Country. The history in his heart was the purest, and he didn't like to let anyone or anything destroy its perfection.
"Little brother, where are you going? This is the wilderness, do you want this old man to give you a ride? "
A worn-out ox cart.
Withered straw.
A kind old farmer.
When people were in a good mood, everything they saw looked so beautiful. Tang Shidao turned his head. Not far from him was an old man with a broad frame, but his whole body was thin and fleshless. He held a cattle whip in one hand and a cloth bag at his waist with the other. It seemed to be something very important. The old man's hands were full of calluses and bulging with blood and tendons. There was a strong sense of strength.
"Old man, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?" Tang Shidao smiled.
He secretly used [Life Appraisal] and immediately found that this was just an ordinary person … A malnourished old farmer.
He seemed to be very strong.
Because he was tall and strong, and he had done a lot of farm work, so he was very strong.
"Little brother, you must be joking. How can you be a bad guy with such good clothes?" The old man looked like he was experienced in the world. He waved his hand and said, "If you're not afraid of being dirty, come on up. This place is not safe, there are always wild wolves and thieves. Little brother, are you lost? Do you want to report to the authorities in the city? "
"I'm not lost. I just came out to have fun." Tang Shidao nimbly flipped onto the ox cart.
Realizing that there was nothing under the straw, he simply lay down and looked at the blue sky.
This was the era.
The sky was so blue that it could soften people's hearts.
The old man smiled and brandished his whip. He couldn't bear to whip the old bull, so he only whipped the air. When the old cow heard the sound of the whip, he slowly started to move. "Why did the child run away from home? Did he quarrel with his family?"
"No."
"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter if it is. Walk while you're still young. Once you're old, you won't be able to walk anymore. When the old man was young, he also wanted to go to the frontier fortress to resist North Di. Unfortunately, at that time, they couldn't even scrape together enough money to travel to the frontier fortress. After a few years, when he had a family and children, he would no longer be able to leave. The rise and fall of the country in my youth is nothing compared to the well-being of my family now. "
"Okay." Tang Shidao listened quietly.
It was very tasteful.
Be it in ancient times or modern times, there would always be endless hot blood, and there would always be dreams that could never be realized.
"Little brother, where do you want to go? I have to rush to Qingtan Village to return the gift, so I won't enter Dahuang City. If it's not on the way, I'll let you know when I reach the Ten Mile Slope. You can walk east and reach Dahuang City. "The old man asked as he hurried.
"I'll just walk around. Old Sir, do you mind if I follow you around for a bit? "
"Sure. It's good to walk around and broaden your horizons. " The old man treated Tang Shidao as a rich young master who ran away from home. He said, "It's a coincidence that my eldest son is getting married in two days. If you don't mind, why don't you stay for the wedding banquet? "
"You're too polite. I'm a stranger, why are you taking care of me? "Tang Shidao asked with a smile.
"Haha, because of your bird."
"Bird?"
"Yes. Before I left the village, the fortune-teller said, 'When you go out on the day of the rabbit, it'll be auspicious if you encounter red, but ominous if you encounter black. Your bird happens to be fiery red, so it must be my good fortune. Since you're destined to be my benefactor, it's only right for me to entertain you. "The old man was very honest, so honest that it was a little naive.
"I see, then I'll be impolite." Tang Shidao was very curious about this fortune-teller.
He was sure that he was not a mage.
However, this kind of person was either a liar or a very knowledgeable liar. No matter which one it was, it was worth meeting him in ancient times.
They chatted along the way.
Tang Shidao lay down comfortably and listened to the old man talk about his daily life.
The old man's surname was Yang, and he had three sons, all of whom were veterans in the army. Unfortunately, none of his three sons had any future prospects. At most, they had only managed to become a sergeant. Fortunately, his three sons had experienced several great battles and were all unharmed. They had all returned in one piece.
His eldest son's wife was a flood refugee.
Everyone in the family was gone, and she was the only one left. Originally, this kind of woman was not likable, but because of her big breasts and big buttocks, the old man did not object to marrying her.
When Tang Shidao heard this, he felt that the ancient people were more honest.
According to the old man's thinking, women with big buttocks were easier to raise, and there was no need to worry about starving the children with big breasts … You see, the so-called marriage was nothing more than finding a partner to mate with. Love was just asking for trouble. Compared to the hypocritical modern people, the ancient people were very honest. Choosing a partner for superior reproduction was an animal's instinct.
He talked as he walked.
When he talked, the old man even sang loudly, shouting some unknown folk song.
He did not sing well, but everyone could hear his happiness. His son was about to get married, and the old man wanted to share his joy with everyone.
"How old is Mr. Yang?"
"You flatter me, I'm almost forty-eight." The old man replied.
When Tang Shidao heard this, he was shocked.
If you didn't tell me, I would have thought that you were eighty-four, but you're only in your forties. Speaking of which, your old appearance is a bit unscientific. If it were us, even bald programmers who stay up all night every day would be younger than you.
"Mr. Yang, are there any legends in this area?"
They chatted along the way.
Tang Shidao only occasionally replied.
"Legends? Oh, there really is. "I heard from my grandpa that there used to be an old Dragon God in Longjiang Village. He was the guardian of our village. Then because of the war, the bandits blocked the river and the old dragon god became angry. He jumped out to slaughter the bandits and then disappeared without a trace. Now our village still has a dragon god temple that is held once a year in early summer. "
"Mr. Yang, are you making this up?" Tang Shidao revealed a smile.
"My grandfather has seen it with his own eyes, everyone in our village has seen it with their own eyes. That's right, I still have three dragon scales at home. "Old man Yang said with a serious face.
"There are dragon scales?" Hearing this, Tang Shidao was surprised.
With the real thing, it didn't seem like it was made up.
According to what Prince Zhou said.
It was certain that the Great Zhou Country had a Mage Secret Room. Were there demon beasts? Un, that was hard to say.
"Mr. Yang, can you let me take a look at the dragon scales? You can be assured, I won't take it, I just want to take a look to gain some knowledge. "Tang Shidao was very interested. Whether it was a real dragon or a fake dragon, it would definitely be able to explain something.
"Alright, it's not a big matter. Every family in our village has two or three pieces." Old man Yang agreed, not caring at all.
After traveling for half a day.
Old man Yang took the gifts to give to his relatives. At this time, Xiao Jin said, "Master, there is a very weak magic reaction in this place."
Tang Shidao already felt it, "Un, I just felt it. Xiao Jin, do you think the dragon god is real? "
Xiao Jin replied, "I don't know. Even if there is, it definitely isn't a giant dragon. They don't live in the water and wouldn't be angered by a group of humans. Master, I think it might be a demonic being, but I don't know where the source of the magic is. "
Tang Shidao didn't say anything.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, there were many places with 'dragon' patterns. It wasn't a western dragon, but a long snake. The strange thing was that this' dragon 'only had two front claws, not four legs. It had two horns, very short, and no bifurcations.
At first glance, it looked more like a snake, and its appearance was very similar to the legendary 'flood dragon' in the Zulong Kingdom.
"Let's go, little brother, sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's okay, I'm very free. Old man Yang, is the old dragon god like this? "Tang Shidao pointed at the 'dragon' patterns on the buildings.
"Yes. But this isn't the old dragon god, just the old dragon god's son. The old dragon god's body is much bigger, and his horns are longer. The one wrapped around the pillar over there is the old dragon god, and the ones guarding the door and the house are the old dragon god's sons, "Old man Yang replied.
Tang Shidao frowned when he heard this.
There wasn't just one 'dragon', but a large group of them?
It was shocking that these carved patterns weren't imagined, but the depiction of the real thing.
They chatted along the way.
Tang Shidao kept asking about the legend of the old dragon god. The more he heard, the more he realized that this existence was real. The most realistic description was that Old man Yang's village once 'fed' the old dragon god … Well, he called it a sacrifice. At a certain time, usually before the rainy season, the villagers would kill cattle, sheep, and pigs, beat drums, and throw them into the river as a sacrifice to the old dragon god.
This sacrifice lasted for hundreds of years.
It was held every year.
Everyone participated.
Most importantly, everyone had seen the old dragon god come out of the water for a sacrifice, and it wasn't just a story of one family. This kind of Dragon God Sacrifice was attended by everyone, and the elderly and children had seen it with their own eyes. If it wasn't for the rebels filling the river and the old dragon god leaving the river in anger, this kind of sacrifice would still be going on.
"One year after the war, we sacrifice again. We throw food into the river, but the old dragon god doesn't show up. Three years later, the Dragon God Sacrifice stopped. "
Old man Yang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but he kept the dragon scales, so he believed it without a doubt.
The villagers were the same.
The older generation said that they had seen it, so it was impossible for everyone to lie. In this era, cattle were more important than human lives, so who would dare to kill them and throw them into the river to feed the fish?
Besides.
If it was fake, where did the dragon scales come from?
Half a day later.
Tang Shidao followed Old man Yang to Longjiang Village and immediately introduced him to his family and friends. These villagers were very enthusiastic. Maybe it was because of Tang Shidao's extraordinary clothes and Xiao Jin's macaw that everyone thought that he was a big benefactor.
"Here, this is the dragon scale." Old man Yang quickly took out three scales.
Tang Shidao took a look.
Regardless of what kind of scale it was, the weak magic energy it contained couldn't lie. These must be the scales of an 'abnormal creature'.
He sensed around and found that every family in the village had something similar.
Tang Shidao spread his magic power.
Soon.
