Lu Sheng first entered his cubicle. All the historical materials related to Beidi and the county annals of Liaoyang County were found and placed on his table.

Lu Sheng looked at it all morning, but felt that it was still fragmented and could not be put together. Most of the things related to Beidi written in Chinese characters were mentioned occasionally from the side, and he couldn't understand the records written by each tribe. It seems that we really need to go find the Seven Beidis and learn the Beidi language seriously from them.

After Lu Sheng was assigned this task, he no longer had to do anything every day. He could do whatever he liked. He just had to report his progress to the emperor every month. So Lu Sheng walked directly from the Hanlin Academy, nodding and saying hello when passing by Jin Ruzhang and Song Yun (the number one and number two).

The two of them seemed to have heard about the task Lu Sheng was assigned, expressed their sympathy, nodded and asked him to leave quickly.

The seven Beidi sons lived in the imperial city but not in the palace. The emperor allocated a royal villa to them. Each of the seven Beidi sons lived in a courtyard. A nine-story tower was built in the village and was named Zhaixing Tower. It was said that they missed home. You can go up to the top floor and look north, although it is impossible to see the northern border from this distance.

When Lu Sheng arrived at the villa, he happened to meet one of the aristocratic children going out. The boy was seven or eight years old, wearing obvious Beidi clothes, and was walking out the door with two attendants.

Lu Sheng quickly called him. When the boy heard the voice, he stopped and turned to Lu Sheng doubtfully. He said in fluent Chinese: "You called me?"

Lu Sheng nodded and hurriedly approached: "I am the editor of the Hanlin Academy. My name is Lu Sheng. You are a noble from Beidi. Can you do me a favor?"

The boy nodded: "My name is Huo Du, and I am the youngest son of the leader of the China tribe. What do you want me to help you with?"

"That's it. My latest task is to compile the history of Beidi, but I don't know the Beidi language. I can't understand the records of your tribes." Lu Sheng explained: "So I came to learn the Beidi language from you. .”

Huo Dou frowned: "You want to learn the Beidi language from us? This is very difficult. You can't learn it in a day or two."

Lu Sheng nodded: "I know, I don't want to learn it quickly. We can be friends first, and I will learn slowly while communicating with you."

Huo Dou nodded: "I can take you to meet them, but I want to explain in advance that not everyone is as friendly as me. The seven of us have very different personalities. Some don't speak Chinese very well, and some have just been sent away. You have to be mentally prepared in advance if you can’t get used to people with bad tempers and people who don’t have a good impression of you Han people.”

Lu Sheng had already been mentally prepared, and he was lucky to meet Huo Dou, who was so friendly and good-natured.

Huo Dou didn't go out anymore and led Lu Sheng back to the villa. Not far away, there was a little boy who looked to be four or five years old sitting on a swing in the garden. When the boy saw Huo Dou coming, he happily greeted Huo Dou in Beidi dialect. The two chattered for a while, but Lu Sheng didn't understand a word.

Huo Du led Lu Sheng to the boy and introduced him: "This is the grandson of the leader of the Sahan tribe, named Zhuoer."

After that, he introduced Lu Sheng to Zhuoer in Beidi dialect. Zhuoer has a lively personality and is not afraid of strangers. Although he doesn't speak Chinese well, he is still very eager to make friends.

He said hello to Lu Sheng in broken Chinese, and Lu Sheng said hello back flattered.

Huo Du took Lu Sheng and continued walking forward. Zhuoer wanted to play with the two of them, so he followed him.

After some communication, Lu Sheng found out that the China tribe where Huo Du belonged to meant wolf, and the China tribe believed in the wolf god, while the Sahan tribe where Zhuo Er belonged to meant the moon and believed in the moon god.

In addition to these two tribes, the remaining five tribes are the Nalan tribe, which means sun, and believes in the power of the sun; the Sehei tribe, which means wind, and believes in the power of wind; and the Xisen tribe, which means snow, and believes in snow. The Hagu tribe means night and believes in the power of night; the Yier tribe means weapons and advocates force. This tribe is the most unfriendly to the Han people.

After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at a yard. The yard was full of flowers, and there were several branches peeking out even if they didn't open the door.

Before Huo Dou could make a move, Zhuoer excitedly went up to the door and knocked on the door, shouting loudly while banging: "Brother Qige! We are here to play with you!"

Zhuoer knocked for a while, and the door opened from the inside. A boy about ten years old opened the door and walked out.

The person who came was Qi Ge from the Hagu tribe. He had an indistinguishable androgynous face that was shocking. The farther north the geographical location is and the colder the weather, the higher the degree of folding of people's bones, the higher and straighter the nose bridge, and the deeper the eye sockets. In short, it looks good.

The verification of this theory can refer to the modern Russians and the ancient Hagu tribe. The Hagu tribe is the northernmost tribe among the Beidi tribes. They are separated from the other tribes by a long distance, so that their daylight hours are short and long. It gets dark at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. , it won’t light up until nine or ten in the morning, so they believe in the power of the night.

Her character is beautiful and beautiful, but her personality is very gentle. He first greeted a few people, pinched Zhuoer's face, and then turned to Lu Sheng: "Why is your distinguished guest here?"

Lu Sheng was very surprised. He was very particular about his word choice and had some research on Chinese.

Lu Sheng explained his purpose of coming, saying that he came to learn the Beidi language and wanted to be friends with them.

Qige welcomed several people into his courtyard: "You come in first and sit down."

Qige poured scented tea for everyone, pondered for a while, and asked Lu Sheng, "What are your plans? Do you want to learn our language first, or do you want to know all seven of us at once?"

Lu Sheng thought for a while: "Actually, I don't have any plans. I just came to try my luck today. I didn't expect it to go so well. What do you think I should do?"

Qige smiled: "I think we should come here first. You can get in touch with the three of us first. After you know some Beidi language, you can get to know the four of them."

Huo Dou also nodded: "The four of them are not as friendly as the three of us."
