C1033 The City That Disappeared
The little girl finally agreed to let Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning into the yurt.
In the yurt, Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning were treated well. The little girl fed the two of them some goat's milk. Although the scent of the milk was slightly fishy, the two of them drank it like drinking rain.
During the conversation, Chen Qingyang learned that the girl's name was Drolma.
Drolma lived with her grandfather. At this time, his grandfather had gone out to shepherd the sheep, but he hadn't returned yet. However, when he looked out, he was almost back.
Chen Qingyang asked, "Drolma, why do you live here alone? Don't you have any other clansmen? "
A look of grief and indignation flashed across Drolma's eyes as she said, "Vicious clansmen, I came here with grandpa."
Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning looked at each other and felt that something was strange. But they had only just met Drolma, and it was not easy to ask too many questions. After all, there was a hint of privacy in that.
Drolma then asked Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning, "Big Brother Chen, Sister Joe, it looks as if you're from the Central Plains. How did you end up here?"
"Central Plains?" Chen Qingyang immediately felt that this explanation sounded familiar. The word 'Central Plains' was often used in martial arts novels!
Qiao Ning gave a dry laugh and poked Chen Qingyang. Obviously, she was not a good liar. However, there was no way to tell the truth. There was no way to explain it! No one would believe it even if it was said!
Chen Qingyang suddenly came back to his senses. He laughed and said, "This is really a long story."
Drolma stared at Chen Qingyang.
Chen Qingyang said, "Drolma, I want to tell you that your sister Qiao and I were not originally here. We were in the sea, and then there was a volcanic eruption. I thought I was going to die, but when I woke up, I found myself on the Great Prairie. Actually, we don't know why we're here either. "
Chen Qingyang thought Lili was a simple little girl. As a result, he told the truth. This way, it would be convenient for them to continue chatting. Of course, if Drolma didn't believe him, he'd say it was a joke.
Qiao Ning was stunned for a moment, she did not expect Chen Qingyang to say that.
If I could tell you the truth, she thought, would I have to leave this problem to you?
Drolma froze.
Seeing this, Qiao Ning shot Chen Qingyang a resentful glance. That look was clearly saying, look, it scared Drolma to death.
Chen Qingyang saw that something was wrong with Drolma, and he was about to change his mind. Drolma said incoherently, "You said you exploded in the sea?"
"Ah, haha!" Chen Qingyang said, "No, it's just a joke. The sea is thousands of miles away, how could we possibly come over from the sea? "
Drolma shook her head and said, "No!" She thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, Big Brother Chen, where do you think you came from?"
Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning were confused. Chen Qingyang said, "Well, Drolma, do you believe it or not?"
Drolma said, "Are you really from the sea?"
"Then... Can or can't you do it? " Chen Qingyang was confused.
Drolma said, "Then are you really from the sea?" She was excited.
"Do you believe that?" Chen Qingyang asked.
"If you really came from the sea, I would believe it!" Drolma said.
Chen Qingyang said, "Alright then, we just met Hai Yang's volcanic eruption and came here for no reason."
Drolma's expression suddenly became very strange, or to be more accurate, excited, and her breathing quickened. She suddenly knelt in front of the gate with her hands clasped together, her mouth uttering some inaudible words.
Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning were instantly baffled.
After a long while, Drolma stood up. She quickly said, "Please sit, Saints!"
"Sage? What sage?" Chen Qingyang was a bit confused, so he sat down with Qiao Ning. Drolma went to bring out the lamb leg steamed in sauce, then served some goat's milk and some other stuff. She was extremely enthusiastic.
"Drolma, can you tell me what saint? Why are you so excited when you hear we're coming from the sea? " Chen Qingyang asked curiously. Lili blushed and said, "Because you are the saints of the Prophecy!"
"What prophecy?" Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning asked curiously at the same time.
Drolma said, "There has always been an ancient prophecy passed down in the Great Li Nation. When a volcano erupts, the warriors in the sea will break through the sky and come here, and they will become the bravest Dragon-slaying Saints. "
"Dragon-slaying Saints, what the hell?" Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning froze again.
Drolma said, "Don't you know?"
Chen Qingyang replied, "I don't know."
Drolma patted her head and said, "Look, I forgot that you are from the sea, so you are not familiar with us here."
Chen Qingyang said, "Yes, tell us more about it."
Drolma then said, "We are in the prairie, and north of the prairie is the Central Plains. The emperor of the Central Plains conquered the prairie a long time ago, so we are also part of the people of the Great Li Kingdom. On the borders of the Kingdom of Great Li, there are other nomadic peoples who have been in conflict with the Kingdom of Great Li. As for us on the grassland, we provide war horses for the Great Li Nation. The Emperor of the Great Li Nation is very generous to our grassland race and doesn't care too much about it. They also provide us with a lot of food and cloth every year. "
Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning looked at each other. The two of them had basically confirmed that they had indeed crossed over to another dimension.
He just didn't know the name of this space.
"Lili, go on." Chen Qingyang said.
Drolma was about to say something when Qiao Ning said, "Drolma, I have a question for you."
Drolma looked at Qiao Ning.
Lili said, "Yes, does your Great Li Country have any deities?"
"A deity?" Drolma's face was full of doubt.
Qiao Ning said, "The kind that can fly into the sky and enter the earth, and have..."
"Spells right?" Drolma said.
"Right, right!" Qiao Ning nodded.
Lili said, "No." She paused for a moment and said: "If there really is a spell, then it would be the Evil Dragon. In the Evil Dragon Valley, there were ten Evil Dragon. These Evil Dragon could fly, spit fire, and spray ice. They are cruel by nature. As long as we do not satisfy them, they will come out to slaughter and kill people. Every year, the emperor of the Central Plains would give them hundreds of virgin beauties, as well as food, jewelry, wine, and so on. As long as they didn't give him anything, he would come out to kill. Their dragon scales are unbreakable, and we can do nothing to them. No matter how many troops there were, they wouldn't be able to deal with them. All these years, these Evil Dragon were what people were most afraid of. We even dreamed that Dragon-slaying Saints would appear, and only when you appear, can we bid farewell to the Evil Dragon and have a truly good life. "
Then Drolma looked at Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning. Big Brother Chen, Sister Qiao, you two will definitely go and kill the Evil Dragon, right? "
Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning immediately felt a little awkward.
Chen Qingyang touched his nose and said: "If it was before, helping you kill a Evil Dragon would be a small problem. "But now, for some reason, we have come from our world to this side, and the mana in our bodies has completely disappeared."
"My magic power has disappeared?" Drolma was stunned.
Qiao Ning said, "Yes, we used to be able to ride the clouds. But now, everything was gone. "I don't know why …"
Lili said, "I know why."
"Qiao Ning and Chen Qingyang were overjoyed." "Why?" The two of them asked in unison.
Drolma said, "About 500 years ago, our Great Li Country was not Great Li Country at that time. Ancient books called it Wasteland Realm. Furthermore, the Wasteland Realm was not as vast as it was now. At that time, the citizens of the Wasteland Realm lived a very primitive life. But then, suddenly, many Evil Dragon came. These Evil Dragon flew across the ocean. Not only could they spray fire and ice, they also knew magic. Their magic was profound and could change endlessly. It could also transform into a human form, and could also stir up hurricanes, causing natural disasters. At that time, everyone was living in deep water and suffering. Originally, there were more than three million commoners in Wasteland Realm. However, under the Evil Dragon's wanton attacks, there were only three hundred thousand citizens left. Just as everyone in Wasteland Realm were about to be slaughtered, a man named Great Divine Master was called Hierarch Xuankong. Hierarch Xuankong came flying over. He did not know what kind of spell he used to make all the Evil Dragon not be able to use any spells. Hierarch Xuankong had slaughtered many Evil Dragon, but later, Hierarch Xuankong had also met the Dragon King of Evil Dragon. Hierarch Xuankong fought the Dragon King for a long time, and in the end the Dragon King was killed by Hierarch Xuankong. Hierarch Xuankong, too, went to sleep. It was said that the great battle had caused a change in the earth's crust, causing an earthquake to occur in the main world which came from another place called Great Thousand World. Moreover, one of the cities in the Great Thousand World had sank inside. And so, the millions of citizens in the city also took root here, where they developed a civilization that belonged to Great Thousand World. "
Chen Qingyang and Qiao Ning looked at each other and confirmed another thing. That was the reason why Lili and him had no magic power anymore. It was indeed because Great Divine Master had changed the rules here. After confirming this matter, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.1
As long as he didn't really lose his mana, then everything would be easier to accept.
"Did one of the cities in the Great Thousand World sink? "What's the name of the city?" Chen Qingyang asked Drolma.
Lili said, "It seems to be called Changyuan."
Chen Qingyang's body shuddered.
Qiao Ning looked at Chen Qingyang and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Qingyang said: "In our Great Thousand World, the Ming dynasty of 1640 was in turmoil. That year, the Ming dynasty was plagued by internal and external disasters, and King Li Zicheng led the peasant army to rebel. Furthermore, the Great Qing Dynasty was eyeing the outside like a tiger watching its prey. One thing that happened in the Ming Dynasty was that there was a huge earthquake in the northwest. For the Ming dynasty, the earthquake only worsened the situation, and the government was unable to go to the rescue, partly because the rear was cut off by the peasant army. Second, the imperial government could not even afford the military expenditures. So the earthquake was rarely seen in history books. Furthermore, such a great earthquake did not cause much commotion at all. None of the parties paid attention to the earthquake. In that great earthquake, a city called Changyuan disappeared into thin air. "
