Strange Worlds: The Sequence

  Chapter 9 Tomb Birth

   "People live for themselves, and I'm not so rich that I need a little girl to support me when I eat and drink."

  Chen Yuyan patted Sang Zhi on the head, but he could feel that Sang Zhi didn't care about the price of losing fertility.

  Maybe this is the difference in concept. He lives in a prosperous and healthy modern society, and he only thinks about some trivial things in life every day. Earning money to support the family, marrying a wife and having children, these are the top priorities.

   And Sang Zhi lives in the backward dense forest of southern Xinjiang, and his only thought is to live until tomorrow.

  Chen Yuyan sighed inwardly, since this is the case, then everything should continue according to the development in the plot.

  He did not directly throw the Five Poisons Manual to Sang Zhi, but asked the latter to learn characters first.

  If you can't even understand the exercises, let alone practice.

  Chen Yuyan also gave her some silver taels by the way, and asked her to buy some food so that she could take advantage of this time to replenish her body.

  If the physique is too weak, the promotion ceremony will be very risky.

   Half a month later, Mengyun Valley.

  The convoy had left the Bamboo Mosquito Tribe for several days, and finally arrived at the Scorpion Tribe before sunset today.

   It sounds ironic that in the vast southern Xinjiang, barbarians accounted for 90% of the population, but the rivers and lakes in southern Xinjiang are full of Han people.

  For example, the Moon Worship Sect of the Southern Xinjiang University doesn’t even have a single barbarian.

  The remaining first-class sects: Diancang Sect, Baiyimen, and Zaha Temple are mostly Han Chinese.

  Even the most powerful Five Poison tribe among the Nanzhao tribes can only barely rank as a second- or third-rate force in the Jianghu of Southern Xinjiang.

   Among them, the scorpion tribe is the weakest among the five poisonous tribes. There is only one old patriarch in the tribe who has a perfect cultivation base in the external environment, but he is also very old.

  Further down, the warriors in the Scorpion Tribe even in the external scene are no more than the number of hands.

  If it weren’t for this, Fang Ziming, a fledgling rookie, would not have benefited under his nose, and he could only watch them escape.

   You must know that before the Nanming Dynasty, Nanjiang was a place where the barbarians spoke their minds.

  The Wudu tribe has weakened to this point because the barbarians tried to establish a dynasty hundreds of years ago, and the clan went deep into the depths of the 100,000 mountains to find the dragon veins. As a result, none of the barbarians who went out came back.

  At that time, the sky of the entire barbarian tribe collapsed, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled were left. They could only watch helplessly as southern Xinjiang was gradually eaten away by the Han people.

  No inheritance, no resources.

   It will also be suppressed by the Han people.

  The major tribes of the barbarians weakened like this.

  Chen Yuyan knew that this situation would change soon. When the "Gu ancestor" Demutu returned with the dragon veins and the remaining barbarian masters, it would be the time when southern Xinjiang would once again set off a **** storm.

   At the same time, it also heralds the beginning of the expansion pack "Five Poisons Out of Barbarians".

  But at this time, the Wudu tribe is still weak, the kind that anyone can step on.

  Looking for a remote courtyard to live in, Chen Yuyan directly left Sang Zhi in the room, gave her the homework of copying the thousand-character text three times under the latter's resentful eyes, and then left lightly.

  Sang Zhi sat in front of the desk, looked at the densely packed text, his head grew three times, and he couldn't help but sighed sadly.

   "Brother Fang, I'm so hungry."

  Zhou Suhuan squatted beside the street, staring longingly at the steaming ovens in the opposite shop, and swallowed subconsciously.

   "Oh, I'm hungry too."

  Fang Ziming stood aside, leaning against the doorpost, wiping the tip of the iron spear.

  The woman sitting next to Zhou Suhuan complained:

   "It's not because you have nothing to save some little girl."

   "It's all right now, all our silver has been stolen, and everyone will sleep on the street at night."

  She stretched out her finger and pointed Zhou Suhuan's forehead bitterly, "Can you grow your brain in the future!"

  Zhou Suhuan was unhappy, and argued: "Anxi, don't you hug her every day and say she is cute, why are you still talking about me?"

   "But she was rescued by you!"

   "Didn't you object?"

   "Zhou Suhuan you."

   Tired of listening, Fang Ziming had no choice but to persuade:

   "Keep down, a lot of people are watching."

   Seeing many people on the street staring at them, Zhou Suhuan and An Xi were a little shy, and obediently shut their mouths.

   "When will Brother Hongyuan and Sister Ming come back?"

  Zhou Suhuan clutched her stomach, suddenly her eyes lit up, she jumped up from the ground and shouted:

   "People are coming, people are coming."

  Hearing this, Anxi also stood up quickly, kept looking around, saw Song Ming and Fu Hongyuan, and waved to them excitedly.

   "Sister Ming is here!"

  Song Ming also saw the three of Fang Ziming, trotted over, and gave them the food in his arms.

   "You're all starving, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

  Zhou Suhuan chomped down on the food, and said tearfully, "Sister Ming, thank you, your mortgaged jade pendant, I will definitely redeem it for you when I go back."

  Song Ming pulled his hair behind his ears, and said a little shyly: "My jade pendant is still there, but the wine shop only accepts silver, and won't accept my jade pendant."

   "Huh? Then how did you get these foods?"

  Fang Ziming Nahan said.

  Song Ming turned around and looked at the two men walking behind him, "Thanks to Brother Chen, he helped us a lot."

  Chen Yuyan walked out from behind Fu Hongyuan, smiling at everyone:

   "I'm Chen Yuyan, a native of Pingnan Prefecture in southern Yunnan, nicknamed 'Jinghongdao'."

  After the meal, Chen Yuyan took them back to the courtyard he rented.

   Several people briefly introduced each other.

  Among the five members of Fang Ziming's party, Song Ming and Fu Hongyuan are both from the Central Plains. The former escaped from marriage, while the latter is a direct disciple of the third-rate sect Huxiao Martial Arts School, and went out to practice.

   Zhou Suhuan and Anxi are sisters. Both of them are second-generation disciples of the second-rate sect in southern Xinjiang. They sneaked out to play. On the way, they met Fang Ziming and his party, and decided to practice with them.

  Fang Ziming came from the Hexi family, one of the thirteen families of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it was only a collateral line.

  The Fang family has tens of thousands of people, and the status of the collateral line is indeed not very noble.

   Coincidentally, it was the first time for these five people to come to Jianghu for training.

  Fang Ziming has a calm personality, but he gets along very well with Chen Yuyan. The two soon called each other brothers and brothers, and they were considered friends.

   Among the remaining four, two of the plain women are extroverted. Song Ming is a lady of every family, and their behavior is relatively dignified, but they also have martial arts. The rest, Fu Hongyuan, is not very talkative.

They came to southern Xinjiang from the Central Plains, suffered a lot along the way, suppressed bandits, and were also suppressed by bandits; encountered adventures, but did not get anything; People are cheated until there is no pants left.

  In the end, I had to eat and sleep in the open all the way, relying on drinking stream water and eating wild fruits to get to Mengyun Valley.

  "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

   Zhou Suhuan gulped down the wine, crying to Chen Yuyan about the tragic experience during this period of time.

   "The rivers and lakes are like this. You are all experiencing for the first time. Without much experience, you will inevitably suffer some hardships."

  Chen Yuyan comforted, and then he added in his heart:

   And you will be in transit soon.

  Among the five people, the one Chen Yuyan pays the most attention to and wants to make friends with is Fang Ziming the most. Both of the plain girls are **** with no brains, and the remaining two are deep-minded and not good people.

  In order to be able to catch up with the young head of the Dincang Sect, Song Ming secretly told the disciples of the Diancang Sect that Fang Ziming and others discovered the second floor of the tomb.

   As a result, the Diancang faction sold Song Ming as soon as they met, and said that they were the most poisonous to women's hearts, and sarcastically said that a person like her would still want to get close to them.

  Fu Hongyuan is more tolerant. On the surface, he is a direct disciple of Hu Xiao Martial Arts, but in fact he is just a lost dog who stole the martial arts skills and escaped.

  It wasn't until Fang Ziming escaped from the pursuit of the Scorpion tribe that he showed his fangs, trying to get a hand on the inheritance they got.

  Even though Fang Ziming treated him well, he gave him the only innate second-class weapon "Ming Xin Jing" obtained from the tomb.

  Fu Hongyuan's final ending was also replaced by Fang Ziming who risked half his life.

   "You guys just stay here first, you are exhausted, take a good rest."

   After Fang Ziming and the others settled down, Chen Yuyan first went to check Xia Sangzhi's homework, and then changed the thousand-character text into hundreds of surnames and asked her to copy it three times.

  Backing into her room, Chen Yuyan sat cross-legged on the bed.

  In the past two weeks, he has not been idle. First, he has mastered ten of the twelve solemn exercises, and he has also searched for two powerful exercises according to the game strategy.

First, in the cave below the Chuanyun Cliff, I found the congenital third-class pupil method "Zhao Wuyan"; then I went to the back of the stone Buddha left over from the ancient ruins of Zhaha Temple to learn one of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts, "Big Falling Stele" hand".

  These two skills, one is the auxiliary pupil method, and the other is the close combat method, both of which are very suitable for Chen Yuyan's current situation.

  Especially "Illusionary Eyes", not only has miraculous effects on mental illusions, but also can clearly understand the subtle movements of the enemy in the fight, so as to make predictions in advance.

   What's more, the ability to control the mind in "Illusionary Eyes" can suppress the anger in Chen Yuyan's heart to a certain extent and maintain reason.

  Chen Yuyan, the main material of Qingming Pill, "Qingshen" has already bought a lot along the way, but he couldn't find a suitable alchemist, so he could only pile it up in his hands and watch it.

   But he is not in a hurry, there is still "Dream Eye" that can last for a while, and the demand for Qingming Dan is not so great.

  The next day.

   Zhou Suhuan stretched out from the room, and saw Chen Yuyan standing in the yard practicing sword.

   "Brother Chen, you are really hardworking."

   Zhou Suhuan said with admiration.

  Chen Yuyan shook her head, pointed to Fang Ziming in the corner of the courtyard and said, "Brother Fang didn't wake up later than me."

  Zhou Suhuan laughed and said, "You both are very diligent, unlike someone who is still sleeping late."

   "I heard a crow calling early in the morning. I came out and saw that someone was speaking ill of me."

  Anxi walked out of the room, and stared at Zhou Suhuan hard, but the two started to fight again.

   "Brother Chen, what are your plans next? We came to Southern Xinjiang from the Central Plains this time, and we are planning to practice here."

  Song Ming stepped out and asked softly.

  Chen Yuyan took a look at her, and understood that it was a lie that this woman wanted to practice, and that it was true that she was in a hurry to find another family.

   It is also false to say that he escaped from marriage. The truth is that the man who stole from the wild was discovered by his husband's family, and he had to escape from there as a last resort.

  Chen Yuyan withdrew her long knife and said loudly:

   "I also came to southern Xinjiang to practice. Recently, I heard that there are ancient tombs in Mengyun Valley. I am planning to join in the fun and see what I can gain."

   "Ancient tombs?"

  Fang Ziming, who was still practicing guns, heard what Chen Yuyan said, and came over with great interest, and said to the others:

   "Why don't we go and see?"

  Others nodded. They came here to practice. It is a good thing to see and experience more.

  Chen Yuyan smiled and said: "Alright then, after we pack up our things, we will go to the tomb together tomorrow to have a look."

  Looking up at the sun in the sky, Chen Yuyan thought to himself that the people of the Scorpion tribe should have all retreated by now.

  However, there are still many disciples of casual cultivators and second- and third-rate sects in the tomb, and some fierce competition will be inevitable.
