There are more than 200 households and more than 1,000 people in Chenwangli, so the population can be considered prosperous.
In the late Han Dynasty, when natural disasters were frequent and thieves were swarming, the country could barely be called peaceful thanks to the bravery of the villagers and fishing and hunting in the mountains.
But after the "stranger came from heaven", wild beasts were rampant, ghosts loomed, and the peace of the past was no longer the same.
Not long ago, a letter was circulated from the county, instructing all townships and kiosks to build high walls and dig deep trenches to prepare for emergencies.
Chen Wangli's righteousness and Chen Chong did not pay attention to it at first.
But after dealing with more than a dozen embarrassing cases of "foreign people climbing over the wall at night and stealing food and goods", Chen Lizheng hired hundreds of able-bodied players with a salary of "three wheat cakes a day". It cost a lot of money.
On the 15th, a deep trench was dug around the village.
Then, the soil from the ditch was used to make bricks and a high wall of more than one foot was built.
Finally, water from the Nan River was diverted and poured into the ditch, making it a veritable "village protection river."
The ground is guarded and only the suspension bridge is used to communicate between the inside and outside during the day.
Since then, no matter how the players protest, these natives have kept the danger and the players away.
"Second Brother Wang, I'll take over."
It was getting late, and Li Yu came to the bank of the river protecting the village and softly greeted an aboriginal man squatting next to the suspension bridge and taking a nap.
The man rubbed his sleepy eyes, straightened up, saw it was Li Yu, and after a brief handover, he returned to the village.
Li Yu took over the night shift and was on duty from Youshi to Maoshi.
It was getting late, and the aboriginal people in twos and threes, carrying hoes and shovels, were returning to the village from the fields. When they passed by Li Yu, they, like the second brother Wang, paid little attention to him.
Li Yu was already used to it.
After a while, no one returned.
Li Yu returned to the village.
The village gate has been renovated, and a tower has been built on it to lift the suspension bridge.
Li Yu went upstairs.
"Brother Yu is here." There was an aboriginal waiting on the tower, and he greeted Li Yu gently.
This man was about the same age as Li Yu, in his early twenties, 1.85 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong back and strong waist.
Anyone who saw him couldn't help but praise him as "a good man".
"Zaisheng, good evening." Li Yu responded with a smile.
This gentle aborigine has a surname of Xiong, a famous name of Pa, and a courtesy name of Zaisheng.
It was he who once spoke up and defended Li Yu. Later, when Li Yu was desperate, he recommended him to be the gatekeeper.
When the name Xiongba was first known to players, it caused quite a stir.
In the 1990s, there was a popular Hong Kong comic - "Wind and Cloud". It told the martial arts story of the two protagonists Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.
"Isn't the golden lin just a thing in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm."
"Success is a matter of wind and cloud, and failure is also a matter of wind and cloud."
Cloud-dispelling palm, unicorn arm, peerless sword, snow-drinking mad sword, ten thousand swords returning to the sect, infinite maha.
These are so many, they can be called the memories of a generation, or several generations.
Xiongba is the big villain in "The Storm", the master of the two protagonists Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, and a heroic figure who stirred up the world.
Blessed by the influence of film and television dramas, it is quite popular.
Therefore, in this world, when the name of "Xiong Ba" spread, many players went to inquire about his details.
After some twists and turns, I discovered that this "hero" was not the other "hero".
There is no father named Old Man Ziyi, and no master named Old Man Sanjue. There is a brother who was killed by bandits, but his name is Xiong Hu, not Xiong Wu. There is no such organization as "Tian Xia Hui" in Mo Shang Township.
.
Just a country boy.
Apart from that, the origin of the name is a bit interesting.
Xiong Ba's father, named Xiong Shan, is not Xiong Ba's biological father.
Xiong Shan was not a native of Shannan, Gannan. In the 4th year of Yanxi, that is, 161, war broke out in Yanzhou and natural disasters spread. Countless Li people suffered and were exiled to all directions, and the Xiong family was one of them.
The Xiongshan family fled from Shanyang County to Jizhou. On the way, they encountered a baby boy abandoned in the grass and bones, and was almost eaten by wild dogs. Xiong's wife felt soft-hearted, and she hugged him and raised him. She didn't expect him to survive, but she hoped he would live longer.
Spend some time, see the scenery, meet the people, it's not a waste of time to come to this world.
It was just beyond the expectations of Mr. and Mrs. Xiong that the baby boy survived after being fed only some cake crumbs and water all the way to Chenwangli.
After everything was settled, Xiong Shan recognized the baby boy as his second son. The family was happy to have a new member of the Xiong family, but they encountered difficulties when naming the son.
The eldest son is named Xiong Hu, what is the name of the second son?
Xionglong? Xiongbiao? Xiongbao? Xionglang? Xiongxiong? They all feel awkward!
Xiong Shan thought hard for three days, and suddenly remembered a sentence he had read in his hometown school when he was a child - "There are also people who are stubborn and unyielding."
So he was overjoyed and named his second son "Xiong Zan". Then he entertained Li Zheng, his elders and people he knew well in the village at a banquet.
While they were drinking and drinking, Xiong Shan was very satisfied and revealed the name of his second son to the public, but he made a big joke.
He thought that his second son's name should be pronounced "xiong ba", so he said proudly, "I only hope that my son will be as healthy as a bear." This immediately made the whole house burst into laughter.
Xiong Shan has been fond of sticks and fists since he was a child, but he didn't like writing. He studied in a rural school and met an idiot. It was not easy for him to remember the sentence "Xiong Zhizhi" in "Shang Shu·Kang Wang Zhi Gao", although
I knew it was a good saying, but I mistook the pronunciation of the word "罴" and read "pi" as "ba".
After Xiong Shan's drunkenness subsided, when others mentioned the matter, he denied it and said that the name of his second son was "Xiong Ba". He said: "The one who is the leader is Xiong, and the one who is the elder is Ba! I hope that my son will be the leader and the elder.
Unparalleled in the world!"
It made everyone, young and old, stunned for a moment.
Xiong Shan was so satisfied with his "quick wit" and response that he decided on his second son's name, which has not been changed to this day.
And this "Hegemon" is also very competitive. After more than ten years of hard work, he has reached the level of [Huangpin] when it comes to military force. Not to mention Mo Shang Township, he is also slightly famous in Shannan County, Gannan Province.
If it weren't for this special period, he should have resigned from his position as the inner prison gate of Chen Wangli long ago and sought for positions such as tour leader and pavilion chief.
He is not a "martial arts legend". Many players are disappointed, but some people have been thinking about him since then.
This world is like a game.
So some people are wondering, what are the most important resources for "Three Kingdoms games"?
It is a "military general", which in a broad sense includes civil servants and military attachés.
Fighting bandits and quelling rebellions, suppressing bandits, conquering cities and territories, and calming the people and administering government are all inseparable from military commanders.
But after looking through "Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we can count the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Nanman and other foreign tribes with names and surnames. There are only more than a thousand people recorded in the books.
Not to mention that the billions of players in the Han Dynasty are not enough, even if they are thrown into the tens of thousands of players in Mo Shang Township, they will not make a sound.
Therefore, there will inevitably be many "inn generals", that is, non-historical, "original game" generals.
According to the nature of some games, if the "best inn generals" are trained with all their efforts, their strength will be no less than that of first- and second-rate generals.
Many players speculate that Xiongba belongs to this category. Therefore, many people have small plans to "make friends" with him.
However, things backfired. More than twenty days later, the person with the best relationship with Xiong Ba was still Li Yu, who was regarded by everyone as the "unlucky guy".
On top of the tower, Li and Yu pulled up the suspension bridge.
When Xiongba pulled the iron rope, he used his left hand instead of his usual right hand. He also had a faint smell of blood on his body.
Li Yu felt strange and asked what happened.
"The day after tomorrow is the first day of April. As usual, we have to offer blood food to the corpse-eating python. So I led more than ten young men to hunt in the back mountain. The trip went smoothly, but when I returned, I encountered a group of wild boars. Each of them
He was huge and fat, over ten feet long, and had two-foot-long fangs, as sharp as swords. We were no match for him, so he returned in a hurry." Xiongba said with a wry smile.
A herd of wild boars?
When this thing gets angry and goes on a rampage, even a ferocious tiger will find it difficult to withstand it. It will be really dangerous for Xiongba and the others to encounter him.
"Is your arm injured seriously?" Li Yu asked with concern.
"Fortunately, I just can't use my right arm. The doctor in the county said that I have to rest for a few months." After Xiong Ba finished speaking, he sighed, "It's a pity that those prey were wasted by the wild boars."
As a [Yellow Grade] military commander with a force of 67, Xiong He can protect himself even if he encounters a wild herd of wild boars. But it is a bit difficult to protect the villagers. If you think about "grabbing food from the pig's mouth" and snatching back those prey, it will be even more difficult.
It's impossible.
Li Yu had long heard Xiong Ba talk about "corpse-eating pythons" and "offering blood food".
The corpse-eating python refers to a huge python about ten feet long that is hidden in the hills north of Chenwangli in a deep and moist cave. It likes to eat corpses.
This python has lived here for hundreds of years, and its daily food depends on hunting and supply by the young and strong laborers of Mo Shang Township. Otherwise, it will come out of its cave to disturb the people, and even eat people.
In the past years, it was easy to say that a few times in the mountains and wilds, killing some deer, deer, foxes and wolves would have been enough. But now that the "Emperor's Liquid" has emerged, the vegetation, birds and beasts have changed, and there are countless dangers in the mountains and forests.
Just like today's wild boar herds.
As night fell, the two men patrolled the streets with lanterns. For a long time, Xiong Ba was still sighing.
Due to the "robbing" of the wild boars, the villagers had to slaughter their own pigs and sheep to supplement the blood food needed for the offerings.
What a big loss!
Xiong Ba felt depressed. He turned around and saw Li Yu frowning deeply, as if he was hesitant about something.
Xiong Ba is not easy to ask.
Until it was dusk at Haishi, and the sound of people and the chirping of insects gradually subsided, Li Yu still didn't speak.
Seeing his confused look, Xiongba couldn't help it and asked.
But I heard a distant, yet extremely clear voice suddenly ringing in my ears.
"System announcement: The total number of player territories around the world exceeds one hundred, and the [territory list] is open."
"System announcement: The total number of player territories around the world exceeds one hundred, and the [territory list] is open."
"System Announcement: The global player territories... [territory list] are open."
Three times in a row, Xiong Ba was stunned when he heard it.
territory?
Territory list?
What are they all for?
Xiong Ba didn't know why. He looked at Li Yu and saw a look of shock on his face.
Then, before Xiongba could speak, Li Yu suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Zaisheng, I have a plan to kill that corpse-eating python!"
Hearing this, Xiongba's attention instantly shifted from "system announcement" and "territory".
The levels in this world, whether it is military force, intelligence, politics, or commander-in-chief, are all divided into grades.
0-59 is not a good grade; 60-69 is a yellow grade; 70-79 is a mysterious grade; 80-89 is a ground grade; 90-99 is a heavenly grade.
On top of the heavenly items, it is said that there is also the ethereal [immortal item].
The [Corpse-eating Python] has a strength of 73, ranking [Xuanpin].
[Xuanpin] monsters, let alone Li Yu, a scumbag with a strength of 17, [Huangpin]'s tyrant can't even withstand a few or five moves.
Xiong Ba thought Li Yu was joking. But then he discovered that Li Yu was serious and not joking.
Thinking of Li Yu's status as a "stranger sent from heaven", Xiongba hesitated for a moment and asked: "What's the plan?"
"When you offer sacrifices tomorrow, please throw me into the python's mouth!"
