258, [the last city before entering the Western Regions]
However, the pain and pressure left by the Ant Mountain was still there. They organized silently, carrying one or two pieces of weapons on each, and some even brought light tools in the work shed next to them and headed towards the outsiders together.
They kept in mind the instructions of their two benefactors, chose the right path, always count the number of people, and don’t go to the dangerous places to investigate.
Fang Chang and Sang Ziping did not follow.
For these rescued slaves, there should be no danger in the future. After all, for ordinary people who have been detained for a long time, leaving this place of right and wrong early is the top priority at present.
Watching them disappear from a distance, Fang Chang withdrew his gaze and said with a smile:
"let's go."
"Well, the matter is over, it's time to leave." Sangzi smiled and stroked her beard.
The long behind waved his hand, and the flowing water and earth and stone giants on the other side of the main peak all dispersed. Sang Ziping also made a trick to finish casting the spell, allowing the bamboo talismans that turned into wooden soldiers and were not dispersed by the monsters to restore the prototype and flew back to their hands.
They didn't care about the situation behind them and went straight to the northwest to the outside of the mountain.
There were no other people here, so walking would not be shocking, so the two of them each exerted their strength, and in a flash, they reached several hills and were far away.
And this story was spread out by the surviving people.
They did not leave their names, but the enslaved people took their outfits into their eyes, then added some beautification and imagination, and used the illusion caused by excitement when they were rescued. This led to the story with a little mythological color and bizarre.
The process of the monsters being destroyed, combined with the vibration of the earth when the cave collapsed, was also surrounded by various imaginations.
Some say that the monsters were burned by the sky fire and then struck to death by thunder, some say that the two immortals summoned the water and drowned the monsters like a rat cave, and some say that the immortals were extremely powerful, and they took the big hammers as thick as millstones, and the monsters burst out of the cave and killed one of them...
A little more reliable, he would say that the twelve demon kings in the Ant Mountain were captured by the immortals with magic power and tied there.
Then one immortal used a ruler to thug the handboard, which hurt his bones every time; the other immortal drew his sword and sliced it, and the flesh he sliced was as thin and transparent as paper... In this way, the two immortals questioned the whereabouts of a large amount of treasures, made a fortune and had endless happiness.
And those idle men who always have a dream of getting rich like this version the most.
There are only a few families who have passed down the story of their ancestors being rescued by immortals. One of them holds a ring ruler and a sack, the other is hung with a gourd around his waist, wearing a white sword, and is not stained with dust. This version has not been spread because it is too ordinary.
However, rumors about Yishan Duobao began to appear.
There were indeed those warriors in the world who carried their weapons into the mountain in groups of three or three, found the cave left by the monsters, gained a lot of wealth, and then confirmed the rumor. With those careful, it can be seen from various traces that the property inside was snatched from the bottom of the mountain by the monsters.
However, there are often struggles in this process, because in the end some little monsters with weak magic power are left to guard the house, avoiding the encounter in front of the main hole. Fortunately, they are not strong in combat, so many of them are scared away when they see humans, and the rest are often not enemies.
In short, since then, no monsters with climate have gathered in Ant Mountain.
However, the ants in the mountains are still active. Although they are smaller than sand, the chimney-shaped nest exits they built in the mountains are becoming more and more unattended, and more... It was not until the rainfall in the ants mountain increased and became wet, and it gradually disappeared.
…………
The scenery in Guanzhong is very heroic. It is at the turn of summer and autumn, and the surroundings are filled with lush green and colorful colors. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Whenever there are three meals, smoke will be curling everywhere.
The terrain here is rugged and the loess is extremely deep. It is broken by the turbulent rivers from the west and cut over billions of years. The wind that rolls over the earth has aggravated the erosion of the land. Even if it is protected by plants and trees, the wind makes the cut edges of the earth become round.
Various grains are planted on slightly flat land everywhere, especially in the valley area of a large river.
Apart from corn, wheat is planted here.
Winter wheat is not popular now, and spring wheat grows in the field. It is the time to be golden, but the harvest season is not yet reached. The millet in the fields is still green. Fangchang knows that this year, due to the good weather and rain in Guanzhong, it will definitely be another bumper year.
The wheat planting area here is larger than that in the Central Plains because the imperial court has been promoting it.
This is related to the climate in recent decades. According to the records of the officials in charge of the astronomical climate in the court, the precipitation in Guanzhong in the past few decades is more than one or two hundred years ago, and it is a little warmer.
The climate here is warmer and wet, which is more suitable for the growth of high-yield crops such as wheat. In the original barren mountains, plants were growing wildly, and many bare mountains were covered with green, but the process was too slow, only the elderly would notice it, and young people would only get used to it.
However, the greater precipitation also leads to an increase in ground runoff water and the river changes more rapidly.
Fortunately, there have been many water conservancy constructions in various places in the past few decades. I hope that during this great disaster, there will be no water conservancy facilities disrepair. That is a big disaster for the people in Guanzhong and downstream.
The scenery in Guanzhong is also very different from the Central Plains, and the accent is also different, but the outfits are quite consistent.
After running away from Ant Mountain, they found the official road, and Fang Chang and Sang Ziping returned to their speed that was slightly faster than ordinary people, and slowly followed the chariots and pedestrians to the west.
"The big city is ahead. You can visit here for a few days. After a little replenishment, you can find a team of horses, or go alone to the Western Regions." Sang Ziping looked ahead and pointed.
When we arrived here, there were many caravans on the official road, all from the Central Plains, Shu, or the northern grasslands, and shipped the city as the end point.
These people gathered the specialties from all over the country, exchanged them here for specialties from the Western Regions and Guanzhong, and considered the prices of the places where they came, filling the carriages and horses with appropriate proportions. The horse teams brought them would transport them to the Western Regions, and get a price that would be several times or even dozens of times, or exchanged for something more expensive.
Sang Ziping told Fang Chang that there are many gems in the Western Regions.
Maoyan, amber, turquoise, lapis lazuli... and the beautiful mutton fat jade that is very popular everywhere. It is made into beautiful boxes or processed into jewelry. After it is shipped to the Central Plains, it will be rushed to buy it at high prices by all parties.
But Fang Chang didn't care about these things, he was more interested in Guanzhong's specialty foods.
