Chapter five hundred and fortieth retrograde civilization
"Do you know what kind of dog is a good dog?" Zhou Sen squatted down and threatened the Roaring Dog.
"Woooo..."
"A good dog is an obedient dog!" Zhou Sen said every word.
"..." Roaring Sky Dog opened his mouth but did not make a sound, because Zhou Sen's expression clearly had bad intentions. Roaring Sky Dog is a divine dog, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to argue with Zhou Sen at this time.
"Let's go, we still have important things to do. Don't worry, this place won't be open for long!" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Woooo..."
…
One person and one dog were walking and chatting, heading towards the Qianzhong Pass of Longxing Mountain. Along the way, Zhou Sen carefully observed the surrounding environment.
It was already noon. As we got closer and closer to Longxing Ridge, more and more people were crawling on the road. It was so dense that there were only four lanes left on the originally six-lane open road because the lanes had become narrower.
As a result, some trucks, oxcarts and carriages were crowded together, and the traffic was extremely slow, almost as fast as people walking. The traffic jam spread to the foot of Longxingling Mountain.
There are many abandoned vehicles on the roadside along the way. Those vehicles have basically been dismantled into empty shells, and all the removable parts have been cleanly dismantled. From this scene, it can be determined that no matter what kind of vehicle it is,
Spare parts are in short supply.
What kind of picture is this?
Along the River During Qingming Festival?
Zhou Sen smiled bitterly. The combination of primitive and modern images gave people a sense of disharmony, and this sense of disharmony was happening right before his eyes.
Because of the congestion, the passengers on the ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages all got off and walked.
Soon, Zhou Sen became familiar with a group of people on foot.
During the chat, Zhou Sen learned that Longxingling Qianzhongguan originally had many means of transportation to choose from, such as airplanes, trains, etc. However, with the regression of technology, some high-tech means of transportation have been closed due to lack of maintenance, resulting in
This only road has become congested, and precisely because of the congestion, the economic and trade relations between the major cities in West Asia and the major cities in South Asia have become increasingly alienated.
For those who were crawling forward, Zhou Sen finally figured out the reason. It turned out that there was a temple of Zoroastrianism near Qianzhong Pass in Longxing Mountain, and believers from all over the world went on pilgrimage every day...
…
"ah……"
Just as Zhou Sen was chatting with a group of people walking on the road, a roar and scream suddenly sounded in front of him, and the prostrate believers around him immediately ran towards him like zombies that had suddenly awakened.
As quickly as they gather, they disperse as quickly as they gather.
By the time Zhou Sen arrived at the place where the screams came from, the gathered believers had dispersed. On the ground, a middle-aged man was lying in a pool of blood, with a disheveled woman on top of him wailing.
, behind the woman stood a little girl trembling with fear.
There were many people watching, but no one cared about the middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood, and allowed the woman to cry loudly.
"How's the situation?" Seeing the seven or eight-year-old girl looking helpless and trembling with fear, Zhou Sen couldn't help but stepped forward.
"My husband...he...he..." The woman's mood seemed to have stabilized a little, but she still kept sobbing.
"Let me see...the injury is very serious. Let me call a bullock cart for you." Zhou Sen felt the pulse of the middle-aged man. Fortunately, he is alive. He will not die for a while, but if not treated, there is a high probability that he will die.
He won't live long either.
"Ah... we have no money... no money..." The woman was shocked and shook her head.
"It doesn't matter, I have money. Now your husband needs treatment, otherwise he won't be able to see the sun tomorrow." Zhou Sen said seriously. Now Zhou Sen is not short of money, because he has already inquired about the gold here.
It's hard currency, and what he has is gold.
"Then...then thank you." The woman choked with sobs and thanked her. At this time, she had no choice.
Zhou Sen nodded and said no more. He stopped an empty bullock cart, carried the middle-aged man into the cart and lay down, and then called the woman and the little girl to get on the cart.
Of course, Zhou Sen deliberately paid attention when he stopped the ox cart. He did not hire an ox cart driven by a believer.
Soon, the bullock cart left the scene and merged into the dense traffic.
"What happened just now?" Zhou Sen got some pills for the middle-aged man to swallow. After feeling that the middle-aged man's breath had stabilized, he asked about the cause and effect of the matter.
"I...I..." The woman started crying again.
"You touched their drinking fountains?" The old man driving the bus suddenly turned around and asked.
"Yes...yes..." the woman cried while wiping her tears.
"What's going on with the drinking fountain?" Zhou Sen was confused.
Soon, Zhou Sen figured it out from the old driver.
The thing is very simple, because every day a large number of believers go to Zoroastrian temples for pilgrimage. For convenience, some believers have built many drinking water devices on the roadside. These drinking water devices are simple drinking fountains connected to deep wells. Believers need it
You can get your own water when the time comes.
However, these completely open drinking fountains are only for the use of believers. If a pagan is discovered using them, the believers will immediately attack them in groups, ranging from injuries to death, and there will be no police control...
…
After Zhou Sen heard this, he felt as if a huge stone was stuck in his chest, because the situation has become obvious. On this planet, as long as you are not a believer, you will be discriminated against in all aspects. It has penetrated into every detail of life, from eating to eating.
Drinking water is already restricted, and presumably other restrictions will be even greater.
Along the way, Zhou Sen was silent. He began to observe some details around him. He found that non-believers were very cautious when facing believers. On the road, disputes would break out between non-believers and believers from time to time, but 100% of them were based on non-believers.
The believers ended up defeated, because those believers are very selfish. Whenever a believer has a dispute with others, the surrounding believers will immediately swarm in and fight against the non-believers indiscriminately.
Are there any laws?
Is it still fair?
Zhou Sen looked at the prostrate believers on both sides of the traffic and fell into deep thought.
It’s hard to get back.
The only way is to destroy and establish the country, but the problem is that the destruction and establishment of the country are usually accompanied by bloodshed and massacre.
The West Asian Star is different from the Energy Star because the number of Death believers in the Energy Star is absolutely weak. They are still able to rule the Energy Star even though their population is absolutely weak. However, the number of believers in the West Asian Empire has exceeded that of non-believers.
The population is large, and it occupies an absolute administrative dominance. Under such circumstances, overthrowing the West Asian Empire will definitely lead to rivers of bloodshed.
Rivers of blood flowed.
Corpses everywhere!
When these people treat pagans as livestock, they have already planted the seeds of hatred for being slaughtered, which is exactly the same as the energy star.
Zhou Sen discovered that although the non-believers were obedient to the believers, it was obvious that their anger had reached its peak. It was precisely because it had reached its peak that ethnic conflicts broke out every now and then along the way.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance...
…
Longxingling!
The journey of just over ten kilometers took more than three hours.
The sky gradually darkened, there were fewer people on the road, and the speed of traffic became much faster.
The injured middle-aged man woke up after sleeping for more than three hours. Situ Bingbing's elixir was so effective that Zhou Sen was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so he just gave him a piece the size of a rice grain and he fully recovered. Moreover, his spirit
His temperament has actually undergone some changes, his eyes are bright and lively, and his originally thin cheeks have become much plumper.
Zhou Sen didn't know that for this middle-aged man, the pill the size of a rice grain was an adventure, an adventure that changed his life.
Zhou Sen left a few golden beads and left. He didn't seem to be traveling with this family of three.
When they left, the couple thanked each other profusely, but the little girl reluctantly left the dog in her arms...
…
"Reluctant?" Zhou Sen lowered his head and glanced at the barking dog who was still looking back.
"Woooo..."
"Otherwise, you can stay with them."
"Woo..." Roaring Sky Dog hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
"Haha, you are quite sensible. If you had followed them just now, I would have boiled the water immediately, killed the dog and removed its hair, and then stewed it in a pot! Great nourishment!" Zhou Sen licked his tongue.
"Woooooooo..."
…
Zhou Sen threatened Gouzi while approaching the last level of Qianzhong Pass.
It is indeed a dangerous military fortress!
Although Zhou Sen saw the splendor and magnificence of Qianzhongguan from a distance, when he walked to the entrance of Qianzhongguan, he was still deeply shocked by it. It was an unparalleled visual impact.
Qianzhongguan is actually a pass built in a canyon. A city tower was built in the middle of a cliff hundreds of meters high. There were heavy cannons guarding the tower.
In addition to the towering city towers, there were countless miniature military camps hanging on the cliffs on both sides. Because it was already evening, the lights in those military camps were lit, and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition could be seen moving about on them.
The number of barracks is extremely large. Looking into the canyon from the passage below the city tower, the barracks look like lanterns hanging on the cliff, or like stars in the sky...
…
This kind of complex terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack even in the era of hot weapons, let alone the era of cold weapons.
No wonder the old emperor of the West Asian Empire, who lived for 120 years, wanted to regress civilization. From the perspective of governance, the more backward, the more conducive to governance.
Thousands of passes.
What surprised Zhou Sen was that although the pass of Qianzhong Pass was heavily guarded, it did not require documents or the like. It was probably because this was the last pass of a large city in West Asia, so there was no need for soldiers to be present. After all, the history of the West Asian Empire
There has never been any armed force attacking this position.
The width of the canyon is more than 300 meters, but the width is not consistent. Some wide places are more than 500 meters, and some narrow places are less than 100 meters. In order to ease traffic, viaducts have been built in places less than 100 meters.
Zhou Sen finally understood why there was a huge flow of people along the way, because this place itself is a famous scenic spot, and the canyon is full of tourists.
Walking about three kilometers along the side of the canyon, Zhou Sen saw a temple built on the cliff - the Fire Worship Temple!
The Fire Worship Temple was built on one side of the canyon. From its topography, it can be determined that the temple was built in the middle of the adjacent canyon, and buildings were built throughout the canyon.
Compared with the passes outside, the Fire Worship Temple is even more majestic. From the bottom step to the top, it is at least more than five hundred meters. The Fire Worship Temple is built in the middle of the top canyon, high
The temple gives people a suffocating and oppressive force in the night.
Although it was already night at this time, the stairs that were more than a hundred meters wide were still densely packed with believers crawling up like ants.
There are some very distinctive hotels and some antique inns everywhere on both sides of the canyon.
Zhou Sen chose a small but clean inn.
In fact, Zhou Sen's heart is drawn to those luxurious modern hotels, but now that he has no ID, he has no choice but to stay in this kind of inn.
Of course, Zhou Sen chose this inn after careful observation. He could confirm from the service staff who greeted the guests coming in and out of the inn that this was a secular hotel.
really!
Zhou Sen's check-in was very smooth. He just asked briefly and was fooled by some prevarication. However, there were still some hiccups because Zhou Sen paid with gold beads, which also alerted the hotel owner. After appraising the gold,
After finding out that the pearl was real, Zhou Sen moved in smoothly.
The decoration style of the hotel still follows the ancient earth style.
Opening the window, Zhou Sen saw the Fire Worship Temple as if it were in the sky. The main reason Zhou Sen chose this hotel was because this hotel could see the Fire Worship Temple.
To Zhou Sen's surprise, there was actually a computer in the hotel, but he was soon disappointed because the computer was no longer usable, probably due to lack of maintenance on the circuit.
In fact, instead of computers, many electronic devices have become furnishings. Even some of the street lamps in the canyon were damaged a lot.
The speed of civilization's regression made Zhou Sen feel an indescribable pressure, because he actually found an oil lamp in the guest room. Obviously, there should be frequent power outages here.
Oil lamp!
Zhou Sen smiled bitterly. He couldn't imagine that a highly civilized planet would actually start lighting oil lamps. This was really unbelievable, but it actually appeared in front of him.
I wonder if I can contact Tang Xue?
Although Zhou Sen had Tang Xue's mobile phone number, he did not have a communication tool, so he decided to go out for a walk, preferably buying a mobile phone on the black market.
In order to avoid shocking the world, Zhou Sen went to the innkeeper and exchanged some currency of the West Asian Empire. Of course, in order to avoid the innkeeper's bad intentions, he deliberately bargained and hinted many times that this was his last property and that this was where he came.
I want to start a small business to make a living.
Zhou Sen is extremely thoughtful. He revealed that he owns all his property to avoid being coveted by his boss. He said that he would stay and do business to let the innkeeper know that he is not a passerby. Under normal circumstances, even if the innkeeper has evil intentions, he will not
It will target people who decide to stay.
night market.
There is a huge square in front of the Fire Worship Temple. At this time, the square is extremely lively, with many stalls, and tourists linger among the stalls.
If West Asia is included in the civilization circle of the five star regions, this canyon will definitely become a well-known check-in attraction.
Almost immediately, he thought of how to maximize his own interests.
At the same time, Zhou Sen thought of the energy star.
I wonder how Chu Jian Aolin and the others are doing with Energy Star?
