Ding Meng explained: "This still has something to do with the country. The Dasheng Kingdom is very backward and has wars all year round. The people on the border have a hard time. Children like Dahua have to engage in high-intensity physical labor since they were young. If they can survive
Once you get down, your physical fitness will be particularly good, which will make it easier to awaken. This is the same as the martial arts schools in the Federation Empire."
Ji Chenxue nodded, she understood this truth. In the final analysis, the people of the Federal Empire just lived too comfortably. Most people had no worries about food and drink. Unlike the Dasheng Kingdom, children like Dahua were faced with many challenges when they were born.
Under the threat of death, people who are struggling on the edge of life and death have a higher chance of awakening source energy without even thinking about it.
Ding Meng added: "Another reason is the Holy Tree. The Holy Tree benefits all directions, that is, the divine light energy is benefiting us people, so it is easier for everyone to awaken. However, the level of the source energy users here is much different.
Firstly, there are no advanced instruments and amplification products from the Federation to help, and secondly, there are no martial arts skills, so my cultivation has taken a detour."
Ji Chenxue said: "Don't you have any secrets on Kung Fu and martial arts?"
Ding Meng said: "It's not impossible. Ordinary source energy users have no access to these. Most of the skills are only available in sects and are not taught to outsiders. The secrets of more powerful martial arts are all in the hands of the emperor's relatives. How can ordinary people do this?
Is it accessible?”
Ji Chenxue nodded and sighed: "So, Dasheng Kingdom is hundreds of years behind the Federation Empire?"
Ding Meng smiled bitterly and said: "There is a gap of not only hundreds of years, but thousands of years..."
While the two were talking, they had unknowingly arrived at the door of Xingcun. This was a small village built on the riverside. The village was not shabby, but it was full of thatched adobe bungalows, with about dozens of households. This kind of village is in
Very common on the border.
Dahua's home is just a shack built with thatch and animal skins. In the shack lives a skinny, short old woman. This is Dahua's grandma. Ding Meng glanced at it. Dahua's grandma is also an ordinary person. Her age is
He is about sixty years old, which is a very old age in Dasheng Kingdom.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Dahua was a little excited because Ji Chenxue used her telekinesis to help Dahua transport thirty bundles of star weaving grass.
"Hello, old man!" Ding Meng took the initiative to say hello and released a little bit of healing energy. He could see that many organs in grandma's body were aging, and treatment would definitely not be able to cure it. This is the natural law of the human body.
But it can delay aging.
"Sit down, please sit down." Grandma's steps were a little unsteady, "Aren't you locals?"
Ding Meng had no choice but to lie: "We are businessmen from the demonic country outside the territory."
Ji Chenxue's face doesn't look like that of a poor border citizen, and with a set of steel armor, it's no wonder others don't suspect her.
"Oh, it turns out they came from over there!" Grandma sat down on the edge of the bed. In fact, there were no furnishings in the room. Dahua brought two straw stools in from outside.
"Brothers and sisters, please sit down!" Dahua was very respectful to Ji Chenxue. She admired Ji Chenxue's invisible healing ability.
Ding Meng said: "Old man, I used to be from this place. I have traveled to the four major countries for many years. I stayed in this place when I was a child. It has never been peaceful. How come it is peaceful now?"
Grandma said: "No wonder you look familiar to me. How long have you been away from here, young man?"
Ding Meng thought for a moment and said, "It's been more than twenty years!"
In fact, this time was the day he left Dasheng Kingdom, and it had been nearly forty years since he actually left Caiyunping.
For a moment, he felt very emotional. He was originally transported to the Shenghui Federation by the princess, and the agreed period was six years. Unexpectedly, twenty-three years had passed since he came back, and everything had changed.
He couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Old man, I remember that the war in the western border continued more than 20 years ago. Has peace returned to peace now?"
Grandma said: "Are you talking about the Cangming Kingdom's army? Grandpa Dahua went to join the army, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield."
When Ding Meng left that year, the Cang Ming Kingdom's army was attacking the Dasheng Kingdom, and they were heading towards the Holy Tree.
"Has Cang Ming Kingdom been repelled?" Ding Meng asked.
Grandma shook her head and said: "Where were they repelled? Cang Ming Kingdom retreated on its own."
Ding Meng was stunned for a moment: "Did you withdraw from the army?"
Grandma sighed: "I don't know what kind of evil he did. The Cang Ming Kingdom attacked from the west and reached the capital Tianjing. No one could stop him along the way."
"How is this possible?" Ding Meng was surprised.
In his impression, among the four major kingdoms: the Dasheng Kingdom, the Cangming Empire, the Extraterrestrial Demon Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Immortals, the Dasheng Dynasty has the strongest military strength. It has the largest territory, the most towns, and the strongest sects.
, a country with the most masters, with soldiers like Big Brother on the front line and generals like Tian Qing on the rear, how could it not be able to stop the attack of Cang Ming's army?
Grandma added: "After Cangming Kingdom attacked Tianjing, it immediately withdrew its troops. There has been no war in these years. Alas, it is a pity that Grandpa Dahua failed to come back."
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue looked at each other, there must be something to it, but people at the bottom like grandma didn't know the inside story.
After chatting for a while, there was a sudden noise outside, as if a lot of people were coming. Dahua stood up immediately: "I'll go take a look!"
Ding Meng noticed that Dahua kept the old sickle on his waist at all times. This habit was very similar to that of brother Zheng Ming.
Xingwei grass was piled up in a big pile on the open space outside the house, and a group of people were actually looting it. These people were not only adult men, but also the group of children who had robbed Dahua before. They were all dressed as villagers, and they all looked like thieves.
Like chicken blood, he desperately grabbed the stacked straw bales.
Ding Meng thought that Dahua wanted to stop, but Dahua took out the sickle and ran over without saying a word. Because the scene was a bit chaotic, no one noticed her entrance.
Dahua came up behind a child, raised his hand and chopped it down with a knife. Both Ding and Meng could see that this child was one of the children who had snatched Dahua before, so they did not stop him.
After all, ordinary people's fights are not something they can see, but they didn't expect that this knife was really cruel. The blunt and heavy sickle felt like it hit the boy's ribs, and there was a crisp "click" sound on the spot.
The ribs were directly broken.
Ji Chenxue was speechless when she saw it: "Why are these children so aggressive?"
Ding Meng said: "Even though they are just children, if they can cut the star weaving grass, their hand strength will not be weak."
The boy suddenly screamed out in pain and staggered forward. Dahua's movements were very smooth. He stepped forward and slashed several times, all aimed at the opponent's hands and feet.
This time, even Ding Meng frowned. After these knife cuts, several shocking long gashes appeared on the boy's arm. The blood was dripping and frightening, and bones could already be seen in some places.
The crowd immediately went into chaos. An adult man rushed to protect the boy and slapped the big flower away.
Dahua was not discouraged even after falling on the straw bale. She actually jumped up like a carp and raised her knife again, but this time she was protected by Ji Chenxue:
"What are you doing? Are you robbing her? She is still a child."
The adult man looked up and narrowed his eyes: "Where did such a beautiful woman come from? Capture her and bring her to my house."
Ji Chenxue was about to step forward, but was blocked by Ding Meng: "Let me do it this time."
He was born and raised in Caiyunping, and he knew that such matters could not be resolved by arguing, so facing a group of villagers armed with sticks, knives and shovels, Ding Meng just waved his hands lightly, and the seven or eight people who rushed up immediately
Flying.
Although Ding Meng is still seriously injured, it is not something that ordinary people can contend with. Strictly speaking, Ding Meng is still at the level of an interstellar warrior. Looking at the entire Dasheng Kingdom, he is almost invincible.
As soon as he waved his hand, the adult man's eyes widened: "You...who are you? You can actually do magic?"
Ding Meng looked at him: "Kneel down or die, it's your choice!"
"You want me to die?" the adult man was furious, and immediately raised the sharp hatchet in his hand, "Where did you come from? You asked me about my knife first before you speak."
He struck hard with the knife, and the hatchet actually produced a scorching wave. Unexpectedly, this guy was actually a primary energy user of the thermal system.
A "dang" sound.
Everyone was shocked. The hatchet hit Ding Meng's forehead, but Ding Meng was not injured at all. He felt that the knife hit the steel plate, and then with a "chi" sound, the sharp hatchet immediately turned into a stream of energy.
Light smoke.
The grown man was petrified on the spot. What kind of monster is this?
He could kill a hungry wolf with one knife. Even if he couldn't kill him, he didn't see the wolf melting the knife, right? But the young boy in front of him actually melted the knife directly...
While he was still dazed, Ding Meng kicked him out.
The adult man fell to his knees on the stone slab on the roadside and could not stand up again. His face turned the color of pig liver in pain: "You... you... you are the War Lord?"
He has some knowledge and knows the warrior level of the source energy user.
Ding Meng looked at the people around him: "Leave the guys behind and put the grass back, otherwise labor and management will wipe out all of you!"
No one dared to move anymore. Sticks, knives and shovels were thrown all over the floor. In a small border village like Dasheng Kingdom, the best way to express oneself is to speak with force. Whoever has the biggest fist will be the most convincing.
force.
Ding Meng took two steps forward: "Who are you?"
The adult man gritted his teeth and said, "I am the village chief here."
Ding Meng said: "Since you are the village chief, why do you take the lead in robbing your own villagers?"
The village chief was so painful that he was sweating, but he could not say anything through gritted teeth.
Ding Meng's eyes tightened slightly and he sent a little healing energy over: "Get up and speak!"
The shattered knee miraculously recovered. The village chief tried to move his body and stood up easily. This time he did not dare to make a mistake. He knew that the two strangers in front of him were made of iron and could not be offended easily.
So he quickly handed over his hand and said, "May I ask your name?"
Ding Meng said impatiently: "Answer my question first?"
The village chief was suddenly stunned: "Is there anything wrong with this... robbing things?"
Ding Meng was immediately annoyed: "What kind of logic are you talking about?"
