Tomb Raider Live: Gain Qilin blood at the beginning

This ancient bronze city seems to be shrouded in a veil of mystery.

Afterwards, Cui Xiuxiu asked curiously again: "What about Ailao Country? Are there any mysterious legends about this ancient country?"

Lin You looked at her helplessly.

He understood now that this little girl didn't care about the origins of the ancient Dian kingdom and the Ailao kingdom at all, she came purely to listen to the story.

"Compared to the ancient Dian Kingdom, the Ailao Kingdom is not so mysterious."

"Because Ailao Country is rich in elephants, and the people there like to ride elephants, so Ailao Country is also called the Country of Elephants or the Country of Riding Elephants."

"Ailao Kingdom is located in a remote location, far away from Chinese orthodoxy. Like the ancient Dian Kingdom, it was also discovered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty."

"However, compared with the ancient Dian Kingdom that surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the Ailao Kingdom is much tougher."

"During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops many times to conquer the Ailao Kingdom, but they were all defeated."

"This was not a small setback for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was in full swing at the time."

"It was not until the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Ailao King Liumao surrendered to the Han Dynasty."

"Just like Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty bestowed the ancient Dian king with the 'Seal of the Dian King', the emperor at that time also bestowed on Liu Maung an 'Ailao King Seal'."

Cui Xiuxiu smiled lightly and said, "A Seal of the King of Dian and a Seal of the King of Ailao, this is quite neat."

"If you ask me, the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom are really related by fate."

Lin You smiled and said, "It's a pity that these two ancient countries don't think so."

"In that era, wars often broke out between the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom."

"Even when Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty sent troops to the Ailao Kingdom, the ancient Dian Kingdom sent troops to help."

"Although wars broke out quite frequently in that era, there were so many frictions between the two countries, and the relationship should not be much better."

"Also, there is also a rather interesting rumor about Jiulong, the first ruler of the Ailao Kingdom."

"In ancient times, Ailao Kingdom was even called the Kingdom of Dragons."

"It is said that in the distant ancient times, there was a woman at the foot of Ailao Mountain who came to the river to fish as usual, but accidentally came across a sunken log in the river."

"However, a strange thing happened. The widowed woman became pregnant not long after returning home!"

"And after the pregnancy ended in October, she even gave birth to ten sons."

Hearing this, Cui Xiuxiu couldn't help but widen her eyes and smacked her tongue: "Ten children? Isn't that more fertile than a sow?"

Lin You ignored her, but continued to speak: "Not long after the child was born, a huge dragon suddenly broke through her door and appeared in her home."

"The giant dragon claimed to be transformed by the sinking tree in the river, and came to ask the woman for the ten children she gave birth to him."

"After seeing the ferocious appearance of the giant dragon, nine of the ten sons were scared away. Only the youngest son was still sitting there with his back to the dragon."

"Seeing this, the giant dragon leaned forward and licked his back, allowing him to inherit the blood of the dragon."

"And that youngest son is Jiulong."

"After he grew up, because of his bravery and combat prowess, he was finally elected as the leader of Ailao Kingdom, that is, the first generation of Ailao King."

Chapter 76 Do You Use the Qilin Bloodline as a Hand Warmer?

There were rumors about the two ancient kingdoms, and Cui Xiuxiu couldn't get enough of them.

Just when she wanted to pester Lin You to say more, the latter's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, brother, what's the matter?"

It was Chen Shan who called.

He asked, "Where are you? I didn't see you in the inn."

"We are near Erhai Lake, do you want us to come back now?"

"Well, come back quickly, I have found the guide, and we will start tomorrow!"

After saying this, Chen Shan hung up the phone.

Lin You turned his head and looked at the people beside him: "Okay, let's go back, they are quite efficient, and have already found a guide to take us into the mountain."

For them, this is of course good news.

Everyone couldn't care less about continuing to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, so they immediately took a taxi and returned to the inn in the ancient city.

As a tourist attraction, the ancient city of Dali is almost full of antique buildings, almost all of which are inns, and it is rare to see the shadow of the hotel.

After returning to the inn, Lin You happened to meet Ye Chengfeng at the gate.

He stepped forward and asked, "Where is the guide you found?"

"Where else could it be?"

Ye Chengfeng said angrily, "We're negotiating the price with your brother inside."

"These guys, ghosts and ghosts, talk about the rugged mountain roads and the dead rainforest, and they say that none of the people who went in came out alive."

"At first I thought they didn't want to take the job, but later I figured it out. It turned out that what these two people meant was that they had to pay more."

Hearing this, Lin You couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Sure enough, in the end, money can turn ghosts around.

Lin You smiled and said: "Then let's go in and have a look."

After saying this, he walked directly into the inn.

Chen Shan and the two guides he found were sitting in front of a mahogany table, and there were still teacups in front of them, which were steaming white, apparently just brewed not long ago.

As for the two guides, they were locals at first glance, with dark skin and wearing clothes similar to overalls.

The reason why the skin of the local people is generally dark is because the altitude of this place is very high, the ultraviolet rays are quite strong, and they don't have much awareness of sun protection, so it will naturally become like this after a long time.

Therefore, whether it is a local or a foreign tourist, you can basically tell at a glance.

There are many unscrupulous traders in the ancient city, and they also specialize in picking out foreigners.

After seeing Lin You, the two of them immediately showed a simple and honest smile on their faces, as if they were farmers who had just returned from the fields.

"The price has been negotiated. They took us into the mountains, and the two of them had to go together. Each person paid 2 yuan a day."
