Chapter 6697. Four Cities (4)
Chapter 6697
"You're here, let's go!" Duanmuqing nodded.
She couldn't figure it out, what happened in the four cities, and why did it become like this?
"Godmother, are these four cities named after the four-sided city wall?" Su Ruoxi asked curiously.
"That's right, because the Four Cities are close to the Dark Forest. It is said that the Dark Forest is often attacked by beasts. Therefore, the nearby cities on all sides of the Dark Forest will build high walls. The same is true for the Four Cities!" Duanmuqing explained.
Along the way, Landie and Xiaomeng looked like men, following Su Ruoxi and Duanmuqing like guards!
Duanmuqing walked to a place where there were people, stopped and asked the four cities why it was like this, but no one knew. Even the people in the four cities seemed to be used to outsiders asking questions, and their attitudes were a little numb, saying "I don't know, no." clear!
Duanmuqing asked several people one after another that this was the case, and couldn't help but frown slightly!
Su Ruoxi didn't say anything, she just led Duanmu Qing to the south corner of the city intentionally or unintentionally!
The four cities are so big that Su Ruoxi and the others can't cover them in one day!
So after dark, a few people stopped to set up tents and rest!
The next day continued. Four days later, Su Ruoxi and Duanmuqing finally arrived at the old man's courtyard. It was just in the afternoon. The old man sitting in a wheelchair seemed to be basking in the sun with an expressionless face!
Even if they noticed that Su Ruoxi and others had arrived, they didn't even look at them!
When Duanmuqing got closer, she noticed that the aura on the old man's body was not weak. Although it was not comparable to her own, most of them were weak after she entered the city. Only the old man in front of her was stronger!
"Senior, we are passing through the Four Cities and are a little tired. Can we borrow a place to rest?" Su Ruoxi looked at the old man and took a step forward and asked politely.
Duanmuqing said nothing, just looked at the old man!
"The little girl wants to ask about the Four Cities, why it's like this, right?" The old man said lightly without looking at Su Ruoxi.
"Ahem, I didn't expect senior to see it!" Su Ruoxi said as she walked into the small courtyard, took out a mat and sat opposite the old man, as if she was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to see her. !
Duanmuqing didn't make a sound, he just sat in the yard to the left of the old man with Lan Die!
The mats are all provided by yourself!
After hearing this, the old man finally looked at Su Ruoxi opposite!
Su Ruoxi did not shy away from looking at the old man. After a moment, the old man looked away and looked outside, sighing softly: "I know what you want to ask, but since you are passing by, you don't need to pay so much attention! "
"These four cities have been destroyed now, and it was not outsiders who destroyed the four cities, but the four cities themselves..."
Su Ruoxi and others fell silent after hearing what the old man said!
Especially Duanmu Qing, she never expected that the Four Cities would become like this after coming to them again. According to the old man, the turmoil in the Four Cities began more than 5,000 years ago!
At the beginning of the period, a plague-like disease caused many people to die in the city, so chaos began. If not for many people living here for generations, the plague might have turned the four cities into empty cities!
Later, after the chaos ended, most of the people in the Four Cities died or escaped. It can be said that the remaining ones are the more famous families in the Four Cities over the years!
It has been peaceful for more than three hundred years since then, but it has started to become chaotic again.
