Konoha Aogen

Three mighty camel teams, carrying countless sacrifices and tributes, were stationed at the "Holy Temple" on the western outskirts of "Xiyun City" and the "Holy Temple" forty miles north of "Xiyun City". Temple of Hades" and the "Pantheon Temple" more than seventy miles south of "Xiyun City".

Religions in this world are divided into three lineages.

"Pluto" believes in the "God of Hades" and believes that life is an endless cycle of reincarnation. Those who serve are called "monks."

The "Holy Religion" believes in the "Holy God" and believes that the human world is the gap between the heaven and the dark realm. Those who serve are called "monks"

"Tao Zong" believes in "gods" and believes that all things have animism. Those who serve are called "Sanren."

Those who believe but do not serve are called “servers.”

Most people in the world do not have a single belief. People hope to enter the "heavenly realm" after death. If you can't get in, it's best to live in a wealthy family in the next life. However, death and the next life are too far away. People hope to be blessed by the gods of mountains, rivers, valleys and wealth in this life. Since the "Era of Disaster", the Taoist sect has introduced the old and brought forth the new, obeying the heaven and the people, and built countless "martial arts temples" large and small to protect the worshipers from practicing their true energy as soon as possible. Later, as more and more women practiced qi, there were "valkyries" in the temples.

"The God of Hades" has no real appearance, and believers need to worship the void.

The "Holy God" has a specific appearance. Only high-ranking monks can carve and copy it, and it is not allowed to be blasphemed by the common people.

"Tao Zong" is the most colorful, with all the gods performing their own duties. Most small temples only worship one god, while large temples have many gods. Once you enter the temple, you can gather all the blessings.

Camels were originally a rare thing "south of Tianhe". Three camel teams loaded with tributes were piled up near the three "temples", which really looked like the style of the rich people in the north. While the southerners were laughing and sarcastic, some kind-hearted people also felt secret sympathy, thinking that this boss must have encountered a great difficulty.

Everyone knows that the "temples" in the south are more spiritual than those in the north, and the people in the north think so too. Therefore, many northern merchants and even city lords and leaders traveled thousands of miles to the south to pray to God and ask questions. Southerners were not surprised by such things and only found the camel caravan interesting.

The temples collected the tributes and found that although the amounts were huge, they were not of much value. The abbot didn't feel disappointed either, thinking that the real offering would naturally be given to him by his own hands after the rightful owner arrived. I asked the camel dealer leader which boss was coming, but he couldn't tell me. It was so mysterious that it only made the abbot more hopeful. Unexpectedly... when the real owner arrived, he led the camel team away without even entering the temple gate, leaving only a mess on the ground.

The "Holy Temple" on the outskirts of "Xiyun City" was even more lively. Those who were taken away with the camel caravan were also nearly a thousand civilians, business travelers, scholars, craftsmen who suddenly gathered outside the temple in one day...

Mu Qing'er, Ye Xuan, Chan Ying, Gui Mo, Han Xing, Lone Goose, plus Lu Jin, Lu Xing and his son, a group of eight people rushed to "Xiyun City" more than two months after the camel team set off. The "Konoha Clan" came out in full force, and no one was left in the city to take charge.

"Young Master, is this really okay?" Gui Moth and Ye Xuan rode side by side and asked sideways. The sky is vast outside the city, and the aroma of the earth after the rain is refreshing. Coupled with Ye Xuan's persuasion for more than two months, the evil spirit in her heart has basically disappeared.

"I'm not worried either. Why don't you go back?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Ghost Moth rolled up a pair of huge phoenix eyes and rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan: "I'm not going back."

"Don't worry, as long as we don't die in the south, no one will dare to take the 'Kurong City'." Ye Xuan comforted Gui Mo and also eased his heart.

"I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the city and things will be lost at home." Among the six people, Gui Mo was the most extravagant and had countless rare treasures hidden in the courtyard. Ye Xuan knew in his heart that it was impossible to do this based on her salary alone. As long as there was no loss in life, he didn't want to care about it.

In the family, Ye Xuan pampers the "Ghost Moth" more than the "Afterimage". When talking about this matter with Mu Qing'er, he only said, "Everyone has their own preferences, but the little moth likes it just right." It’s just a waste of money. Those who like pearls and agate are more worry-free than those who like to ‘do tasks’.”

"Throwing something away is also your thing. What do others have to throw away?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but sarcastically said. This is a joke, but not entirely. Fifty percent of Ye Gong's property was placed in "Tonghui Bank", 30 percent was placed in the other three banks, and the remaining 20 percent was converted into silver coins and piled in Ye Gong's treasury.

He deliberately did not want gold bricks, let alone black gold nuggets, but only silver coins. The piles in the warehouse looked like a lake and the sea from a distance. Therefore, he is not afraid of a highly skilled "stalker" taking advantage of the emptiness of the Night Palace to take away his property. If he wasn't worried about disrupting the exchange rate, he would even want to exchange it all for copper coins.

Hearing this, Gui Mo felt slightly ashamed and didn't have the nerve to reply. Whether those things were considered corruption or not, she had no idea.

"Tell me, does this 'Kurong City' belong to the two of them, or to the six of us?" Gui Mo once murmured to After Shadow in private.

"I don't know. Why don't you rebel? We'll know how rich you are once the family is divided." This was a good idea that Yiying came up with.

The eight people rode fast, not even traveling under the stars and at night, and finally met up with the camel team and the regiment on the day of the "Grain Festival".

After taking away the last camel team at the gate of the "Temple of the Gods", Lu Jin married the leaders of the three camel teams. More than two thousand "gelding camels" stayed, and all the camel traders left happily. They had never received such a good business. They didn't have to travel through dangerous areas, and they didn't escort valuables. There was no danger at all, but they were given a lot of money. In the end, they even bought the camel at a price that was 30% higher than the market price.

Everyone continued southbound and arrived at the "Longchang Military Workshop" on the outskirts of "Yinque City" the next day. More than a month ago, Longchang Arms received a big business - 1,200 pairs of light armor, 1,200 long swords, 2,000 hard bows, 200,000 feathered arrows, and 1,200 good war horses. Horse, regardless of coat color.

This business comes from the "Mowen Tower" in the north, and the buyer behind it is unknown. Of course, the buyer of the "Mowen Tower" business is hidden, but what Bingfang doesn't understand is why this business fell on him. The visitor didn't explain anything and only left 50% of the "order silver". With only 50% of the deposited silver, the capital was guaranteed, so Bingfang had no reason to refuse.

It doesn't matter if you don't know who the buyer is. The banknote numbered "Ding Chou San Lu Wu Wu Qi Jiu Ba" from "Tonghui Bank" is not only the final amount of silver, but also the voucher for picking up the goods.

What Bingfang didn't expect was that after the buyer inspected the goods, nearly a thousand men in different costumes armed themselves on the spot.

These strange behaviors finally aroused the vigilance of nearby cities. The water and grass in the south are plentiful, and camels and horses can eat them just by bending their heads. Wherever they pass, they feel like they are being attacked by locusts. The team traveled southward without approaching any city or provoking any forces. After a few days, no one came to negotiate, but there were more and more "eyes" hanging behind the team.

At this point, there is no possibility or necessity to hide. A large group of camels and horses headed straight for the valley where the treasure was located, covered with stars and moons. Following the direction pointed by "Lu Jin", the more we traveled, the fewer people there were, and finally we entered a barren valley overgrown with weeds. "Tell them to watch out for snakes." Lu Jin reminded.

The valley was deep and rugged, and Ye Xuan was a little worried about whether the camel could still walk out with heavy loads on its back. Lu Jin said he could, but he could only believe him at this moment.

Mu Qing'er was riding on the horse and heard the noise in the bush. He leaned forward and picked out a green snake as thick as his thumb with the "Xuanzhu" in his hand. He stared at it as if he was thinking about something. "Dark Water" replaced the steel sheath and carried it tightly on her back. She could not use this soft sword yet, far from it. If you encounter a strong enemy, you need to use "Mo Jie" to deal with it.

After Ye Xuan got the "Lancet", he only took some time to practice for two months. This time when I left the city, I didn't take "Xingmang" with me. Mu Qing'er was quite puzzled by this, but Ye Xuan said: "If I carry them all, I will hesitate when facing the enemy. No matter which one I pull out, I will think about whether it would be better to use the other one. You'll die faster that way."

On the day he left the city, he ordered After Shadow to give "Xingmang" to Yunluo for safekeeping. It's a deposit, but it's also a tease. If there is anything that is afraid of losing in the Night Palace, it is this "fishy light".

After walking in the valley for a long time, Lu Jin signaled everyone to stop and dismount. He seemed to have been searching for a while before pointing to a low cave on the mountainside. Ye Xuan immediately ordered people to go into the cave to investigate. After a while, two soldiers came out with four gold bricks. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be greatly shocked.

"Tear off his clothes!" Gui Mo pointed at a soldier holding a gold brick and shouted sternly.

The soldiers were horrified, but no one moved. A total of 1,079 people set out from "Kurong City", and there were actually 993 people from "Xiyun City Suburbs", all of them were subordinates of the "Field Corps". There are no Gui Mo soldiers here.

"Follow it." Guyan ordered, with a cold tone.

The soldier was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and even forgot to beg for mercy. The light armor was not easy to take off, and it took the two soldiers a long time to strip him naked. In fact, there was only a small gold brick hidden in his boots, and the clothes and armor were completely stripped. The stripped soldier knelt on the ground, trembling all over. Guyan's stern eyes glanced at the other soldier who entered the cave together. The man knelt on the ground with a thud: "Master, the younger one didn't take it!"

"Did you see him take it?" Lone Goose asked coldly.

"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!" The soldier who was still wearing clothes kept kowtowing, and the naked man next to him regained his consciousness and shouted, "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"

"Kneel straight and look up at me." Guyan ordered majestically.

Hearing this, the two soldiers slowly straightened up and raised their heads. First, the clothed man gradually showed a look of determination in his eyes, and after a while, the naked man stopped trembling.

"Don't close your eyes." There was no harshness in the words, but a gentleness like an elder sister's. After saying this, the long sword "Honghu" was unsheathed, just like the sun reflecting on the lake, and in a flash, two heads fell to the ground at the same time. After drinking the blood, the long knife only stopped in the air for a moment, then put the knife back on the hollow of his left arm, wiped the blood with the knife, and put the knife back into its sheath.

"Please punish me, young master." Guyan turned around and knelt down on one knee.

"Let's talk about it when we get back, let's do business first." Ye Xuan responded expressionlessly.

"Yes." Guyan stood up indifferently, looked back at the two heads on the ground and said, "Those who open their eyes will be considered dead in battle."

Ye Xuan couldn't help but secretly praise this blatant favoritism. Guyan is a good commander, but he no longer has his own purpose.

"Take it." With a simple command, he left the matter to Guyan. Ye Xuan smiled faintly at Lu Jin, holding the lancet, and strolled in the valley as if bored.

"Brother Ye." Ye Xuan turned around and saw Lu Jin folding his sleeves and clasping his fists, bowing deeply with a very solemn expression.

"Brother Lu, it doesn't have to be like this." In this situation, it was inappropriate to return the courtesy, so Ye Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Lu Jin sincerely respects each other. At this moment, he is useless and the Konoha family still doesn't touch him. This is a promise to keep. He had told Lu Xing a few days ago: "If the Konoha family falls out, throw your sword to the ground and die bravely. Don't do anything to bring shame on yourself." For a samurai, dying in battle is an honor; but for Rama In the eyes, dying in battle is also humiliation.

"Xiaoying, you are looking for death." The afterimages came in and out, and when the crowd of breathing and breathing people came to the entrance of the cave, Ye Xuan's voice caught up with him from a hill in the distance.

Afterimage couldn't help but be curious and insisted on sneaking into the cave to have a look, but Ye Xuan had already given strict orders not to enter the cave. It is not directed at this matter, this place, any cave, tomb, underground palace, desert, Gobi, frozen soil... Any place that can weaken or dispel the power of a warrior, family members are not allowed to enter. Not even treasures, especially not treasures! From Afterimage's perspective, this rule was simply ridiculous, stupid, and cowardly. Unexpectedly, Mu Qing'er blindly believed in Ye Xuan, but Mu Qing'er had a whip in his hand.

The "eyes" who followed into the valley finally figured out what was going on. Some were stunned, and some turned around and ran away. Those who ran away were not pursued. "You can't hide this matter, don't kill people randomly." Ye Xuan had already explained it in advance.

Thousands of people took turns to rest, moving from noon to midnight, and from midnight to noon, and finally put all the gold bricks in the cave into the camel saddlebags. One camel can carry four thousand taels, but it actually contained 1,260 camels. More than five million taels! It was more than Lu Jin estimated.

"Dig." Ye Xuan gave Guyan another concise order. After seeing the treasure, what to do first and what to do next have been arranged in advance, so there is no need to say anything at this time. Some camels have short shovels and hammers hidden in their saddlebags, which can only be used at this time.

"There is nothing underground or inside the wall." In the evening, Lone Goose reported.

Guyan's tone made Ye Xuan feel a little humiliated. It was the tone of a big sister who had no choice but to accompany the little boy to play in the mud and play house. The matter of retrieving the treasure did not excite her at all. Ye Xuan didn't know what could excite her, or if there was anything else that could excite her.

After avenging her husband, Ye Xuan never saw the light in her eyes again. It seems that only "Sparrow Pai" can give her a hint of happiness, and only Mu Qing'er and the afterimage can make her care a little. And her loyalty to Ye Xuan is completely a kind of "credibility".

"Rest on the spot and set off tomorrow morning." Ye Xuan's own enthusiasm was also dampened a lot.

(Note: Guyan’s long sword is somewhere between the “Miao sword” and “Tachi sword” used by people on Earth.)

Exile Diary - Excerpt (17)

Today I encountered a huge...I don't know if that's a fish. The guy swam past our boat and swam for a long time before he passed.

At first I thought it was an illusion. How could there be such a huge fish? But after it swam far away, it emerged from the water, like an island suddenly rising from the sea. It must have been only a part of its body. If it was just like this, I could lie to myself and say it was an illusion, but the moment it dived back into the water, a huge wave rushed towards us, bigger than the waves in that storm, and the boat almost capsized.

God, if it had surfaced earlier, we would be doomed! If I were a bard cheating people out of food and drink, I would never dare to tell this story to anyone. It is so ridiculous that even stupid children from noble families would not pay for this story.

What exactly is this thing? Is it the "dragon" mentioned in the book? No, the book says that the "dragon" can pick up the largest "spotted elephant" in "Wulfgangga" with one claw. If this is the case, then the "dragon" is simply a hairless little thing compared to this guy. fledgling.

What should I call it? Apart from "dragon", I can't think of a more domineering name for the time being. Let's just call it "mosasaurus". Don’t ever encounter it again in the future.

Exile Diary - Excerpt (18)

As expected, the "bacon" and "dry biscuits" began to go bad. Curse Ergus! Fresh water can be replenished by rain, but food... If this continues, we can only risk our lives by eating fish we don't recognize.

I asked Anese if she would be my reserve food, and she immediately agreed. This bitch is really uninteresting. I wonder if hesitating before agreeing would be more touching?

Exile Diary - Excerpt (19)

The "bacon" and "dry biscuits" were completely scrapped, and I ate fish for the first time at noon today. The waning moon is not very bright, and we are not dead until now.

Fish are not eaten randomly, even gambling requires a strategy. We don’t eat fish with bright colors. Bright things are easily poisonous. This is the experience of “Wolfgangga”. Also, catch as many fish as you can and pick one of them to eat. It is obvious that the more varieties you eat, the more likely you are to encounter poisonous fish. Also, when you eat it for the first time, cut off a small piece, smaller than the nail of your little finger, burn it with a candle flame, eat it, and then wait. If there are still no adverse reactions after one day, you can eat more the next day.

Then it depends on luck. Now I really hope there is a god for me to pray to, but I would rather die in the endless sea than pray to Ergus!

The only good news is that the weather hasn't been that hot lately.
