Chapter 364 The Origin of the Great Desolation
"Xuan, what are you doing?"
Zhang Shengli returned home with a head full of questions. When he saw Gu Xuan bending over and standing in the rice field, he couldn't help but ask.
"Kill the insects!"
Ye Xuan said, pinching a long worm and showing it to Zhang Shengli.
Zhang Shengli frowned. His type of rice was upland rice, so it was normal to have bugs, but he didn't expect the bugs to be so big.
"It's okay. I'll think of a way some other time. It won't be so troublesome to kill the insects. Just tell me about the Great Wilderness."
"Great wilderness?"
Gu Xuan stood up and glanced at Zhang Shengli, wondering why he asked this.
It seems that everyone knows the origin of the Great Wilderness.
However, seeing Zhang Shengli's inquiring eyes, I was too embarrassed to ask questions, so I had to talk to him.
While looking for bugs in the rice fields, I explained.
Zhang Shengli finally knew that this place would be called the Great Wilderness.
It can be said that this is a place where criminals live. All the refugees who lose the war or are captured during the war will be driven to this desolate place when they are no longer useful.
Taking Dahuang City as the starting point and this mountain as the boundary, the north of Dahuang Mountain is almost entirely desolate land.
There is no grass growing, there is drought all year round, there is no rain, and even animals do not go to this place, so it is called the wilderness.
This mountain happens to be a dividing point, but because it is close to the wilderness, almost no one wants to come here.
In the eyes of the people here, this is a cursed place, and anyone who gets involved with the wilderness will be unlucky.
As for Dahuang City, it was established by people from outside. To put it bluntly, they were the criminals who ran the place, the refugees that Zhang Shengli mentioned.
Every time criminals were exiled here, the city lord of Dahuang City would send people to rush them to Dahuang, and then leave them to fend for themselves.
"What about this mountain? Why doesn't the Lord of Dahuang City ignore this mountain?"
Zhang Shengli had doubts in his mind. This mountain looked very good, at least the land was fertile and very suitable for growing crops.
"There are many wild beasts here, and the Lord of Dahuang City does not have many management personnel, so they cannot occupy this place separately, so this place has become a hiding place for these refugees."
"After being driven into the wilderness, and after the troops leave, as long as they are still capable, as long as they can come to this mountain, they will have a chance to survive."
Zhang Shengli finally understood why the gangsters hated those chainmail troops so much and why they had been living on this mountain for many years.
Listening to Gu Xuan's explanation, he began to make up his mind about this land.
"Such a wonderful place turns out to be a no-nonsense zone." Zhang Shengli was delighted.
"Xuan, do you think that if I control what these people eat and drink, will they listen to me?"
A bold idea popped out of Zhang Shengli's mind.
"This is impossible. There are a lot of these people. Let's not talk about whether we can manage them enough. The Lord of Dahuang City will not allow you to do this."
Gu Xuan's heart moved and she looked at Zhang Shengli, but she still shook her head.
"I mean if."
"Definitely. They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes all day long. If you can give them a bite of food, they will even sacrifice their lives for you."
Seemingly thinking of something, Zhang Shengli took out the stones he had removed from the gangsters last time and handed them to Gu Xuan.
"What is this? You should recognize it, right?"
Gu Xuan took a look, frowned, and said, "This is ordinary currency, used for buying things."
Forehead!
Zhang Shengli was confused and asked, "Then what did I give Gu Hong before?"
"It's money, too. In this case, it's small change. The one in Hong's hand can be worth hundreds of coins like this."
Zhang Shengli didn't know what to say for a while.
What feelings leave behind are fractions, but what is given away is the whole thing.
For a moment, I felt a little painful in my heart. These things were of great use to him. As long as he had this, not only could his space develop normally, but even in this vast wilderness, as long as he was given enough of these stones, he could
It's restored to its original appearance.
"To make money, you must make money!"
Zhang Shengli started roaring in his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shengli touched a peach from his arms and asked Gu Xuan: "How many pieces of this kind of fruit can be exchanged for such a stone if sold for money?"
Gu Xuan had strange eyes, staring at Zhang Shengli as if looking at a monster, and stretched out a palm.
"Five can be exchanged for a small stone?" Zhang Shengli's eyes lit up.
"Brother Shengli, this is called a spirit stone, not a small stone. If you take the fruit you brought out and sell it in Dahuang City, one fruit can be sold for five spirit stones, or even more."
"If I sell it in other cities, I can sell at least three spiritual stones."
Zhang Shengli felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
If this spiritual stone were placed on the earth, it would be a top-quality jade. With its rarity, it could be sold for a sky-high price. Not to mention how much of this kind of fruit could be bought, at least not a single cart would be sold.
But here, five spiritual stones can be exchanged for one peach.
This spiritual stone is so worthless.
Zhang Shengli seemed to see a lot of spiritual stones entering his pocket, so he said directly to Gu Xuan without thinking, "I want to go to Dahuang City."
"Going to Dahuang City?" Gu Xuan suddenly stood up.
"No, Brother Shengli, you can't go to Dahuang City. It's extremely dangerous there."
Zhang Shengli shook his head and said: "Do you think with my strength, I will still encounter danger in Dahuang City?"
"No, there are a lot of them, and the city lord is very powerful. It's best not to go if you can."
Zhang Shengli laughed and said: "Don't worry, his strength is high, but it is impossible for him to keep me."
"You and Gu Hong are optimistic about your home. I can only go there for half a day and come back. It's just a small city."
"Half a day?" Gu Xuan shook her head and said, "It's at least nearly five hundred miles away from Dahuang City. Even if you ride a horse, it will take more than half a day."
Zhang Shengli laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, it's only half a day. I'm just going to explore the situation."
With that said, he ran directly down the mountain.
An anxious Gu Xuan shouted from behind.
"Victory, horse...you haven't even ridden a horse yet."
Zhang Shengli could still hear the other party's voice at this moment. He had already run down the mountain.
He directly took up the dagger and rushed south quickly.
A journey of several hundred miles, at his speed, would only take a few minutes to go back and forth. It would not take more than half a day.
Here, the land was worth almost as much as it was worth. Within a hundred miles, there was no human habitation. He drove quickly and flew for several minutes, but he didn't even meet the shadow of a single person.
Here, it was like a world tailor-made for him.
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
