Especially the current environment can be particularly confusing.
When a person becomes confused, his judgment is definitely not as good as it was at the beginning.
Zhao Xun also knew this very well in his heart.
Therefore, he hopes to keep himself as calm as possible in the absolute sense in the coming time.
As long as he can stay calm, he can eventually find more people to understand Bei Ming.
Beiming is indeed too big, and it is indeed very difficult to fully understand it in a short time under such a large size.
Therefore, Zhao Xun will try his best to adjust his emotions.
As long as his emotions can be adjusted in place, he can still have a certain understanding of Bei Ming within a certain limited area.
This understanding may not be so comprehensive, but it is enough.
"It seems like there are really herdsmen by the lake over there."
When Zhao Xun discovered this, he was quite excited.
After all, in his opinion, herders should have a relatively thorough understanding of an area.
In this case, a comprehensive understanding can be made.
Zhao Xun knows that it is not easy to have a thorough understanding of an area, which requires a comprehensive understanding.
This is actually quite difficult.
But this situation requires some courage.
Only when you put in the courage can you get what you want.
It is unrealistic to expect something without giving anything.
"Well"
"Old gentleman, can we ask you a few questions?"
At this point in time, Zhao Xun's attitude is still quite good.
After all, they are guests and the other party is the host.
You can't be too strong at this time.
If Zhao Xun is too strong at this point in time, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"Well, actually, I should be considered a local."
Well, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a little confused after hearing this.
What does it mean to be considered a local?
Yes means yes, no means no.
This ambiguous statement really makes people's scalp numb.
At this time, Zhao Xun needs to ask as clearly as possible.
"Um, how do you say this?"
"It's like this. Our ancestors are all from the Central Plains. They migrated to Beiming to escape the war. So when you asked me just now if I was a local, I hesitated. Tell me, what do I think about this situation?
Doesn’t it count as a local?”
Forehead
These words really asked Zhao Xun.
I have to say that there is still some ambiguity in this.
In Zhao Xun's understanding, when several generations of people have continuously settled in a place, they can be regarded as locals.
But the situation of the old man in front of me is somewhat special.
After all, they originally migrated from the Central Plains to escape the war.
It can be seen that they miss their original hometown very much, and it can be said that they are quite nostalgic.
But they have indeed settled in Beiming for a long time for several generations.
so
This can be said to be really difficult to describe.
"So what do you think?"
Zhao Xun had no choice but to kick the ball back again.
In his opinion, it would obviously be better to let the old man make his own judgment.
Otherwise, if Zhao Xun makes a hasty judgment, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble.
In that case, it would go against Zhao Xun's original intention.
"Well"
At this point in time, Zhao Xun's heart was very clear.
We must let the old man speak his mind.
"I think we should be considered locals."
The old man sighed and said: "After all, we have been away from the Central Plains for a long time. Such a long time will really change a lot of things. In this case, even if we think that we are different from others, it has indeed changed a lot.
.What’s more, there are some factors beyond our control.”
The old man's attitude seemed to be very calm, and there was not too much emotion in the whole process.
This made Zhao Xun feel very gratified.
Because in many cases some elderly people will feel that there are some problems with their judgment, so they will make some emotional choices.
These are all understandable.
If the old herdsman in front of him had a similar situation, then Zhao Xun would also understand.
But this old man didn't.
The old man acted quite calmly.
In this case, there is really nothing to worry about.
The only thing you need to do at this time is listen.
Zhao Xun has always been a person who is good at listening.
As long as he is given a chance, he will listen as much as possible.
At this point in time, he can hear many details that ordinary people cannot.
Especially the old man is very willing to talk.
This is not easy.
After all, people often have scruples. This is clearly reflected in the old man.
"Well"
It's very important to be emotional.
Once a person falls into an emotional state, it is easy to be restricted.
Zhao Xun obviously hoped that the old man could tell his story more calmly.
"A long, long time ago, Beiming was not like this. At that time, Beiming was desolate, with almost no human habitation. But with the influx and construction of generations of people, the place has become more and more beautiful."
The old man paused for a moment and said: "The ancestors really built this place as their hometown. The days must have been very hard in the beginning, but there is no way to avoid it. But with the efforts of each generation
, the situation has improved.”
"Um"
"So if you want to have a deeper understanding, you need to take root here, right?"
"Of course. If you want to have a deeper understanding of a place, of course you have to choose to take root. Otherwise, everything will be like duckweed in the water. In that case, what kind of cognitive ability can you have?"
"Well, if that's the case, what should we do next?"
"Are you here on a trip?"
"Roughly the same."
Zhao Xun spread his hands and looked very candid.
Strictly speaking, they are almost here to travel.
Change the environment and change the mood.
But there will be some new discoveries at any time during the exploration process.
Faced with these new discoveries, Zhao Xun wanted to conduct some other types of analysis.
But these are all things for later and will not be mentioned for now.
In front of the old man, he expressed it very casually.
Only in this way will people feel very real and close, and only then will they be willing to say some heart-felt words to you.
Otherwise, people will definitely have reservations.
And this is not what Zhao Xun wants to see.
Sometimes people just need to control their emotions as much as possible.
Being emotional makes people more likely to lose control.
This is obviously not a good thing.
"In that case, you've come to the right place."
The old man looked very comfortable.
He put the whip aside and said in a deep voice: "Now the scenery in Beiming should be said to be the best in the world. There are not only all kinds of beautiful scenery here, but also many cultural buildings. It is said that many of them are
It is a legacy from the ancient times."
Forehead
I have to say that Zhao Xun was greatly shocked when he heard this.
He believed that the old man would not lie to him.
The reason why it is said like this is that it is probably true.
In this case, Zhao Xun needs further analysis and listens to what the old man has to say.
"Can you tell us specifically about these buildings from the ancient prehistoric period?"
"Judging from the extraordinary appearance of the young master, he should be one of the best among men. So I can tell you straight. These buildings left over from the ancient prehistoric period are all in the northernmost section of Beiming."
"Ah, how far is it from here?"
"Probably several thousand miles."
Zhao Xun couldn't help but gasped when he heard this.
Thousands of miles, this distance can be said to be quite far.
Walking that far in one breath is no joke.
Even if practitioners like them can fly with swords, they still need to consume a lot of mana.
In this case, the entire person's mentality will be greatly affected.
"call"
Calm down, you must be calm at this time.
"Then we should be able to see those buildings in the far north, right?"
"Of course. Young master should be a practitioner."
"Yes, to be honest, I am a disciple of Confucianism."
At this time, Zhao Xun knew that he should not make any reservations.
After all, this old man doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
If Zhao Xun deliberately concealed it, it would make the old man dissatisfied.
What Zhao Xun needs most right now is information.
And this old man’s belly is full of goods.
Zhao Xun urgently needed the old man to provide him with some insights.
This can solve many problems.
In this way, Zhao Xun's next journey with Wangcai will be smoother.
Instead of going down many wrong paths.
"It turns out he is a disciple of Confucianism. Speaking of which, the ancient buildings in this far north have some connections with Confucianism."
"how do I say this?"
"It is said that a long time ago, a great war broke out there, and monsters besieged the palace. In the end, the Confucian sage from the Central Plains used a talisman to frighten the evil spirits and drive away the monsters. Only in this way did the kingdom regain peace."
"I see."
Generally speaking, such ancient legends will have an element of interpretation.
Zhao Xun also thought it was normal.
So there is no need for him to get hung up on some so-called details.
As long as you understand everything in general, there will be no problem.
"In that case, can you please explain in detail how we can find these ruins?"
Zhao Xun is definitely more interested in history and humanity than nature.
Since you have already asked here, you might as well ask more carefully.
This will help with the subsequent analysis.
"Let's put it this way, if you keep walking along this lake, you will see a huge pit at the end. Go around the pit and continue to the north to reach the desert. You need to cross the desert, then enter a swamp, and then go all the way to
Go north to the end. Then you can see the ruins."
What the old man said was quite serious.
Zhao Xun listened very seriously.
He knew these details would be very useful in the future.
So he tried his best to record and capture all the information.
"If that's the case, how can we contact you in the future?"
"Contact me? I don't think it's necessary for me. If we are destined to meet again, we will definitely see each other again. If we don't have this fate, then what's the point of seeing each other again?"
At this time, the old man suddenly started to become aggressive.
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
But I have to say that what this old man said does make sense.
"Well, let's put it this way. I admire you very much, so I want to make friends with you. Of course, all this is based on your willingness. If you are unwilling, I won't
Reluctantly."
"Okay, okay."
The old man said three good words in a row, and then took out a gourd from his sleeve.
"Put this gourd away. When you need to contact me, just blow on this gourd. I guarantee that I will appear in front of you immediately."
"Really?"
"certainly."
The old man seemed very sincere.
Now that everything has been said, of course Zhao Xun can no longer doubt it.
He still chose to believe the old man in front of him.
"Thank you very much."
"Young people, if you want to hurry up, you should hurry up. It is said that snowstorms often blow in the far north of Beiming. Once a snowstorm blows, you will not be able to see even a single stone, let alone those ruins.
"
"Thank you, senior, for your advice."
Zhao Xun was quite grateful to this old man.
It can be said that this old man has given them considerable help.
With this help, Zhao Xun will become even smoother in the future.
Everything that follows will fall into place more easily.
"Hahaha, meeting you is fate. It's a blessing for me to be able to see you. In that case, there is no need to thank you. That's all, let's say goodbye."
After that, the old man picked up the whip and went to herd the sheep again.
Zhao Xun's heart was in turmoil at this moment.
"I can't believe that in this land of Beiming, any herdsman can have such a huge ability. This time it is really worth it."
Throughout the entire process, Wangcai acted as a bystander.
He had been silently listening to the conversation between Zhao Xun and the old man, unable to get a word in at all.
"It's really not easy. Next, I want to see what this far north is like."
Now that he's here, Zhao Xun will definitely find out what's going on.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of so much time.
For Zhao Xun, every minute and every second here is extremely precious.
"No matter what, brother Mingyun, I will follow you to the end. This way you will have the strongest backing."
At this time, Wangcai began to pat his chest and show his loyalty.
He and Zhao Xun are deeply bound and inseparable at this time.
Zhao Xun was naturally very happy after hearing this.
"Haha, this is great. In that case, let's set off. It's still early here, so we can still hurry up."
