After hearing Qin Feng's words, the old man nodded and said: "According to the records of our ancestors, when we came here, the Mongols were indeed ruling the Central Plains. Our ancestors could not bear slavery, so they fled to this place...
"
The old man's narration of past events thousands of years ago opened up a magnificent picture of the Great Migration to Qin Feng.
It turned out that under the high-pressure policy of the Mongols, the Han people suffered countless casualties, especially those of the four major surnames. Their corpses were everywhere, and there was no chance of survival at all.
Under such circumstances, a group of people with the Qin surname came to the Central Plains. They contacted the four major clans living in the Yellow River Basin and said that there was a paradise where they could hide.
Although people with the Qin surname require that those who enter the Peach Blossom Spring must be young men and women, and after entering the Peach Blossom Spring, they must take the Qin surname as their master for generations, and there are some harsh conditions.
But at that time, the four major surname clans were already facing the disaster of genocide. In order to leave some seeds for the clan, they did not consider that much at all. No matter what conditions the other party proposed, they all agreed.
At that time, the total number of young men from the four major families was more than 10,000. Adding in the collateral surnames, the team finally reached more than 30,000.
The people surnamed Qin not only contacted people from the four major surnames, but also some people who did not want to live under Mongolian rule. They also joined the migration team. When it was about to set off, the number of people in the team was nearly 50,000.
There was no way that so many people could march under the Mongolian cavalry to the place designated by the Qin people, so they broke into pieces and came to a valley among the 100,000 mountains in the Central Plains in the name of escaping.
In the meantime, about 20,000 people were unable to pass the checkpoints set by the Mongols. They all died on the road. In the end, less than 30,000 people reached their destination.
"The Hundred Thousand Mountains in the Central Plains? Is it difficult...could this be the Dabie Mountains?" After hearing what the old man said, Qin Feng interrupted him.
He never imagined that after being wrecked in the Strait of Malacca, far away from China, he would actually come to the hinterland of China. This was obviously contrary to common sense and logic.
"Dabie Mountain?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem to be called that name. I have seen it in the classics. It should be called Tongbai Mountain. In addition, the classics also seem to mention the place name Baimajian..."
"Tongbai Mountain, Baimajian?!"
Qin Feng was not sure at first, but after hearing these two names, he couldn't help but show a look of horror in his eyes, because Dabie Mountain starts from Tongbai Mountain in the west. And the main peak of Dabie Mountain is called Baimajian.
"This...how is this possible? From the sea to the Dabie Mountains, this...isn't this too outrageous?"
After knowing where he was, Qin Feng's brain was in chaos. If he was on an island, Qin Feng could still accept it, but the reality was far different.
"Old man, do your ancestors have any record of how they entered here?"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng quickly asked: "According to what you said before, you should be in contact with the outside world. How did you get out?"
Although he couldn't figure out how he got here, now that he knew that he was back in China and in the Dabie Mountains, Qin Feng's heart that had been tugging at him finally dropped by half.
"It was recorded, but it was of no use..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, the old man smiled bitterly and said: "The ancestors did record how they came here, but I'm afraid you won't believe it..."
"Old man, you didn't say anything, how do you know I don't believe it?"
Qin Feng became a little anxious. After knowing the time and place he was in, he didn't want to stay here for a moment. After all, the impact of coming from a modern society to this almost primitive place was too great.
.
"The ancestors recorded that after arriving at a huge mountain col, a heavy fog suddenly appeared..."
The old man recalled the stories he had seen and heard, and said: "Everyone was lost in the fog. When the fog cleared, they would be where they are now..."
"It was heavy fog, and it came here when the fog lifted?"
Hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but be dumbfounded. If those people came here through many difficulties and dangers, Qin Feng still believed it, but a fog sent tens of thousands of people in. This... this
It’s simply a fantasy.
"That's right, it's just a heavy fog."
The old man nodded affirmatively, looked at Qin Feng and said: "Didn't you get wrecked on the sea? You are different and have come here. This place is magical and cannot be measured by common sense..."
"Okay, let's just treat it as a heavy fog. Old man, please explain to me what exactly this place is? How big is it in total? How did you communicate with the outside world and get in and out in the past..."
Qin Feng asked a series of questions in a depressed tone. He was really shocked. He originally wanted to follow the footsteps of those people to find a way out, but he didn't expect to hear such a ridiculous answer.
"I don't know much about this, so I'll just tell you what I know!"
The old man thought for a moment and said: "This place is quite strange. It covers a large area. According to the old people, it is as big as half a country, but it is isolated from the world. I don't know how it was formed...
"
The advantage of living a long life is that you know far more things than young people. As the old man explained, Qin Feng's mouth opened wider and wider, because this place was beyond his imagination.
The old man said that there are five areas in total, which are the territories of the four clans, Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li. It takes more than ten days of riding to get out of each clan's territory, which shows how vast the area is.
No matter how far you go, there will always be an end, but the place they are in has high mountains at the end on three sides. The rock walls tower into the clouds at a ninety-degree angle, and the top cannot be seen with the naked eye.
There have been people who have tried to climb these mountains to reach the outside world, but no one has been able to succeed. Once they enter the clouds on the mountainside, they will fall down screaming and become a pile of meat.
Almost every few years, someone would make such an attempt, but without exception, all the people who made these attempts died.
In addition to these three insurmountable mountains, there is another place that faces the sea.
There are many skilled craftsmen living in this peach blossom garden. They once built large ships and wanted to travel far into the sea. However, all the ships that went deep into the sea never returned, and naturally all the people on board disappeared.
When he said this, the old man's face showed a sad look, because his son and daughter were recruited by the Qian family and went to sea with the Qian family's ship ten years ago. More than ten years later, but
There was no news at all.
"Old man, then...how did you contact the outside world before?"
Qin Feng was a little baffled. He had been able to maintain contact with the outside world for thousands of years, but why had he lost contact in the past few decades?
"Well, it's a long story. It's all because of the greed of the four major surnames!"
Hearing Qin Feng's question, the old man sighed and said: "I said before. In this paradise, the Qin people are the real owners, and they control the way in and out of here...
Many years have passed, and the four growing clans have become increasingly dissatisfied with the status of the slaves of the Qin family. In fact, they are only slaves of the Qin family in name, and the Qin family members have never really enslaved them...
But the four major clans, who had lived a stable life for hundreds of years, gradually became intolerable to this name, because they learned that the outside world had abolished the imperial system and entered some kind of democratic republic.
After many years of development, the four major clans, which have surpassed the royal family of Qindu in both numbers and technology, have become increasingly unwilling.
So many years ago, the four major clans united and used the guns they obtained from outside to form an army and entered Qindu and bloodbathed the Qindu royal family that ruled here...
However, the people of the four major clans did not expect that after all the members of the royal family were killed or injured, they would actually lose their way in and out of this paradise.
We have been trapped in this place for so many years, and can no longer contact the outside world. I don’t know if the people of the four major clans have any regrets, but it is obvious that they have done something to trap themselves..."
The old man's words were full of hatred for the four major clans. This was not because he was trapped here and couldn't get out. After all, the old man had lived here since he was a child and had no desire for the outside world.
But the old man's only son and daughter-in-law disappeared in the vast sea when they were looking for a way out because of the recruitment of the four major clans. This has almost become a worry for the old man.
"**, human** is the biggest culprit in destroying human progress!"
After hearing what the old man said, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh. A philosopher once said that corruption is the original sin of mankind. Although civilization originated from corruption and exploration, destruction also came from this.
Looking at the wars at home and abroad, they all occurred because the desire was not satisfied. The war of the invaders, the war of those in power and the war of the resisters formed a series of major events in the history of human development.
event.
Even in this paradise, it is impossible to escape the law of human development. The four major clans that were slaughtered by the Mongols like pigs and dogs finally raised their swords and guns against their benefactors because of corruption.
"Old man, my surname is Qin, will there be any trouble?"
Qin Feng suddenly thought of this problem. Since the four major clans had taken action against the Qin family back then, they would obviously have killed them all. His surname was a bit unlucky.
"No, there are so many people named Qin that they don't dare to risk their lives to offend him."
To Qin Feng's surprise, the old man shook his head and said: "The four major clans only deal with the royal family of Qindu. Now the Qin surname also has a clan leader, and its status here is on an equal footing with the four major clans..."
After hearing what the old man said, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Dare to love the Qin people and the royal family are two different things. Although the four major clans have the ability to overthrow the royal family, they cannot completely wipe out the Qin people who first lived here.
