Chapter 603

"Don't worry, I won't act rashly."

Lin Mu nodded. He naturally knew that the gentleman was not under the dangerous wall. Whether he needed to go there depended on the situation. He didn't just go there. After all, he was not immortal now.

In case of any problems that we can't cope with, the remoteness of the place will make us feel helpless every day.

"That place was called Jingjue kingdom in ancient times. It was a small country in the western regions. I have compared the map and now it is 150 kilometers northeast of Qiemo County in Xinjiang. There is a deep pool. There is a passage at the bottom of the deep pool. After entering the passage, you can see the place where Datura grows."

You Yongwei then told the secret of the place where the hattoria flowers grew. Since all of them had been entrusted to Lin Mu, he told them all, and there was nothing to hide.

"I grew up in such a strange place. It's no wonder that wave after wave of people went to the western regions, and even one of the original peerless masters couldn't find the location of the jiutuoluo flower."

After hearing this, Lin Mu sighed with emotion. If it's not a coincidence, I'm afraid I can't find the location all my life.

Western regions, in modern China, have evolved into the meaning of the western region of China, so Qinghai, Tibet and other places also belong to the scope of western regions, but in ancient times, the division of western regions was not the same as now.

In the narrow sense, it refers to the west of Yumenguan and Yangguan, Congling is to the east of today's Pamir Plateau, the East and south of Balkhash Lake and the vast area of Xinjiang. In the broad sense, it refers to all the areas that can be reached through the narrow sense of the western region, even including the central and western regions of Asia.

In the Qing Dynasty, the western regions were located in the west of Dunhuang in the East, Balkhash Lake and Congling in the west, Lhasa border in the south, Russia and Kazakh border in the north, southwest Qinghai and Northern Tibet.

Because Lin Mu studied in the Department of history at Donghai University, he is also very familiar with the history of the western regions. Combined with modern maps, he can understand the position you Yongwei said after a little thought.

At that time, the western regions were mainly distributed in the Tarim Basin, Turpan Basin and the edge of Jungar basin to the north. They used the water dissolved from the highlands to live in oases. In addition, the Tarim River and Lop Nur were the main agricultural and living water sources in the western regions.

Therefore, the prosperity of the western regions is closely related to water. According to the judgment of some archaeologists, Loulan state, that is, Shanshan state, was destroyed due to the diversion of rivers and the migration of Lop Nur.

At the same time, due to geographical factors, the rise and fall of countries in the western regions are vulnerable to the impact of climate change. Since the 11th century, the climate in East Asia has gradually become cold, and the local climate has also been strongly affected. Through the business exchanges in the region, they are more willing to go through the Southern Silk Road, which has gradually reduced the trade in the western regions and led to the decline of countries.

According to the research, in the 17th century B.C., the western regions had already appeared the basic state form, and traded lapis lazuli with the merchants in the area of Daxia. In addition, Hetian jade produced by Khotan was also listed in the trade list.

Around the fifth century B.C., the western regions began to prosper gradually, and the countries in the western regions gradually developed by taking advantage of the geographical advantages of being located in the main communication road between the East and the West. Under the jurisdiction of the Western Han Dynasty, the economy and culture of the countries in the western regions made great progress.

According to the records, there were more than 30 small countries distributed in the western regions at that time, so it is said that there were 36 countries in the western regions.

Before Zhang Qian got through the western regions, the Xiongnu had always been the dominant force in the western regions. In the Han Dynasty, the jurisdiction of the administrative organ of the western regions' Duhufu was not only 36 small countries, but also more than 50 small countries in the first six centuries and the first five centuries.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the countries in the western regions merged with each other. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Shanshan, Cheshi and other big powers came into being. During the northern and Southern Dynasties, the situation in the western regions changed again. The new Gaochang Kingdom defeated the countries in the western regions one after another and established a powerful country across most of Xinjiang.

At this time, in addition to a few countries, the western regions moved westward, which brought a very prosperous foreign culture to the Central Plains.

Jingjue, as a small country in the western regions, even in its heyday, there were only less than 4000 people in the whole country, and the resident troops were only 500, which was not a powerful force in the western regions.

Later, loulanguo, that is, when Shanshan power began to expand, Jingjue country was mercilessly annexed. In front of the powerful Shanshan country, Jingjue country's defense was just a joke. In less than half a day, this small country completely declared its demise.

"Where has no one been until today?"

After thinking about it, Lin Mu asked you Yongwei again.

"I can't give you a definite answer to this. After all, everything is possible. Our yous know this secret well, but there is no guarantee that no second person will find it. After all, the discovery of it by our ancestors was purely accidental."

You Yongwei didn't boast about this. "All I can tell you is the situation of your family. In the past thousand years, no one else has been there. After all, it's not very useful to us."“ I see what you mean. Thank you very much Lin Mu nodded“ It's a great honor to know you before you die. Take care of yourself, this time we'll never see each other again You Yongwei got up and said, hugging Lin Mu and bowing slightly“ Take care Lin Mu also got up and hugged his fist. He sighed softly in his heart. He knew that once you Yongwei left, he would die Somewhere unknown. From then on, he would accompany his wife and daughter forever, and the family would never separate“ Ha ha ha ha ha You Yongwei laughs and shakes his head. It seems that he suddenly puts down all the hatred in his heart. His face is full of the relaxed color after liberation, and even his walking pace has become much lighter. Lin Mu just quietly watched you Yongwei disappear at the corner of the stairs of the teahouse. With the sound of footsteps gradually lightening, you Yongwei left the teahouse and crowded into the crowd in Qingshi street. After a while, he disappeared. After you Yongwei left, Lin Mu sat quietly for a while. He drank two pots of tea in a row and thought about it all over again. After there was no big problem, he put the package you left behind and put it directly into the ring. It was full of medicinal materials. Then he got up and left the teahouse. When he got to Qingshi street, he didn't go back to Yao's residence directly. Instead, he went to Huating garden. When he got there, only Lu Shouyang was there, and the other two people, Miao Renxun and Xie Zhixing, were not there. He didn't know where to go“ Why do you come here today? " Lu Shouyang, who is resting in his room, sees that Lin Mu is coming. He immediately asks Lin Mu to sit down in the arbor in the yard and orders his servant to prepare some fruits and snacks“ I've heard something. I want to ask. I can't figure it out by myself! " Lin Mu laughed, picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth“ What's the matter? Is it related to the cult? " When it comes to the news, Lu Shouyang immediately looks dignified, just picked up a loquat also put back in the fruit plate“ It's not related to the demon sect, but to another force. Now I don't even know the name of this force, but I probably know it's called the holy medicine palace. I don't know if brother Lu has ever heard of this force? " Lin Mu shook his head and then said something about what happened just now. Of course, there are some things he won't say, such as Shennong baicaojing. It's not time to talk to the people of Baolong regiment“ I know about the holy medicine palace. They are a very secret force. They don't walk outside very much. The inheritance is also very old, even longer than that of the Lu family. According to legend, their influence has been inherited by Shennong. " Lu Shouyang knew the origin of the holy medicine palace, and immediately nodded“ Is this holy medicine palace inherited by Shennong Lin Mu immediately frowned. If the holy medicine palace really got the inheritance of the Shennong family, how could it persecute the people of the you family? It's really the people left by the Shennong family. No matter what, they should also stand together“ Yes, it is said that this is true. We don't know what the situation is. However, the holy medicine palace has a very strong attainments together with the elixir. Many powerful elixirs come from the holy medicine palace, including dahuandan of Shaolin Temple, which is a kind of elixir exchanged with the holy medicine Palace at a huge cost. " Lu Shouyang said, looking at Lin Mu's expression, he was also surprised, "why, is there anything wrong?"“ They are good at refining pills, but it's a bit in line with the inheritance of Shennong. However, this alone can't explain that they just got the inheritance of Shennong. The dahuandan of Shaolin Temple is actually all the pills exchanged with them. This holy medicine palace is a bit complicated. " Lin Mu thought and said, tapping his fingers gently on the bluestone table, making a dull sound“ The holy medicine palace, since they dare to call it, naturally they have some real skills. Is there something wrong with the holy medicine palace? " Lu Shouyang nodded and said“ Brother Lu, do you know about Mu Renqing's being chased and killed? " After pondering for a while, Lin Mu didn't say the reason directly, but turned a corner and asked.
