Chapter 231 We are from the same hometown

Chu Han took Lin Yun for a walk in the village for a while and then arrived at his grandfather's residence.

It's also amazing that he could accurately find his grandfather's residence in an almost identical house.

Then, with the dim light coming from nowhere, Lin Yun could roughly see the appearance of the houses.

None of the houses had doors or windows, and their shapes reminded Lin Yun of coffins.

Lin Yun didn't dare to ask. Anyway, there was nothing from the world of the living in this village, so Lin Yun was not surprised.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I'm back."

As Chu Han called, the door opened.

It turned out that there was a door, but it was too dark and almost merged into the house, so Lin Yun couldn't see it clearly.

"You went out again, didn't you?"

The old voice was stern. Obviously, his grandfather knew about Chu Han's behavior, and he probably didn't support Chu Han.

"Grandpa, I've got what I wanted, and this time I brought three friends with me."

"Another outsider?"

Chu Han's grandfather then looked at Lin Yun and the other two. The aura of this outsider...

Well, two of them look like outsiders, and one looks like one of our own.

"Guests who have come from afar, please come in and take a seat!"

Apparently, Chu Han's grandfather was also very hospitable.

He was no longer as cold and serious as before, and his voice seemed much younger.

Lin Yun's scalp tingled, but he still said politely, "Thank you."

After saying that, he held Bai Jiaojiao in one hand and Qing Snake in the other and walked into the house.

The room was in complete darkness. After the initial darkness in front of Lin Yun's eyes, it suddenly became bright again.

Hey, my eyes can see at night?

This is different from the effect of being able to see at night when one had a breakthrough in cultivation before. In an absolutely dark environment, without light, no matter how sensitive a person's eyes are, they cannot see anything. Although divine consciousness is still useful, it is different from seeing the scene with the naked eye.

But now, Lin Yun can see everything clearly in the dark, which means that some subtle changes have taken place in him.

Despite this, Lin Yun was still using his divine sense to perceive.

"Please take a seat, all three of you."

After Chu Han’s grandfather finished speaking, he also knelt down.

There were no chairs here, so Lin Yun and others had to follow the local customs.

Chu Han had already left. He was going to find the village chief and tell him the good news that there were guests in the village.

Lin Yun always felt that this trip was like calling someone.

Folks, the prey has been hooked!

Get your pots and pans ready!

With such a sense of déjà vu, Lin Yun was naturally extremely alert, and wrote something on Bai Jiaojiao's palm to make her cheer up.

However……

Bai Jiaojiao thought Lin Yun was teasing her, so she tickled the palm of Lin Yun's hand in return.

Lin Yun thought to himself, this should be a reply, meaning that he understood!

So, Lin Yun was almost relieved.

"My name is Chu Huai, and my ancestral home is Qingzhou. I wonder where you are from?"

Lin Yun had read the geographical atlas of the Great Zhou and immediately found the corresponding place of Qingzhou. That area was the territory of Guanghan Palace.

A long time ago, the area where the Central Plains people lived was named Kyushu. These names also made Lin Yun feel very familiar. However, although people still retain the old names, the expressions have changed.

In the past, people from Qingzhou would call themselves Qingzhou, but now they would add “Guanghan Palace” and “Qingzhou”.

Even when drawing geographical atlases, spheres of influence are given priority.

On the surface, the two states where the capital is located in the Nine Provinces are controlled by the royal family, and the other righteous sects each occupy one state as their territory.

But some states are big, some are small, and there are three major evil sects secretly dividing up the territory. The actual control range of each sect cannot be determined according to what is written in the atlas.

Lin Yun thought about the geography and news of Qingzhou in his mind, and immediately said, "What a coincidence, I'm also from Qingzhou, a fellow villager!"

In fact, according to Lin Yun’s original background, he should be considered to be from Yuzhou.

But who can prove that he is lying?

Since he's the one who speaks anyway, he might as well just mention a fellow villager.

Isn’t it said that when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears?

As expected, upon hearing that Lin Yun was from Qingzhou, Chu Huai immediately became excited and asked in surprise, "You are also from Qingzhou? I wonder if the current Qingzhou governor is still surnamed Chu?"

Oh, so this old man is a person of considerable status in Qingzhou?

Lin Yun didn't know how long she had been here, and he only knew some basic geographical information about Qingzhou. He had no idea about the specific personnel arrangements.

But he doesn’t know that he can also make it up!

Lin Yun asked in confusion: "Qingzhou Mu? This position of Mu has disappeared decades ago."

"What!"

Chu Huai was immediately horrified. He looked at Lin Yun in shock and said, "You didn't lie to me? Is the Great Zhou still in power now?"

After hearing this, Lin Yun had a rough idea in his mind. He continued to make up a story: "The Great Zhou has already perished. This happened several decades ago. At that time, the human and demon races went to war. The situation was very serious. The northern desert also took the opportunity to invade. The righteous and the evil sects were forced to join forces to resist the enemy. After the war, the masters of the righteous and the evil sects suffered heavy losses.

At this time, the royal family took advantage of the situation and provoked civil strife again."

Lin Yun was making up this story, but it was not random. He didn't know what era Chu Huai was from yet. Chu Huai might know about things in the past, but when it came to the future, Chu Huai had no choice but to believe it.

What's more, Lin Yun's inference is also based on facts.

Although the only member of the royal family he had met was Zhao Lingyu, and she behaved very well, Lin Yun could still tell from the fact that she approached him with ulterior motives that the royal family was definitely not honest.

Therefore, the story made up by Lin Yun is well-founded and reasonable.

Once the royal family discovers that the power of the sect has been greatly weakened, they will definitely start a civil strife. Emperors all want centralized power. Isn't this basic operation?

After hearing this, Chu Huai probably guessed the reason for the demise of the Great Zhou.

"So, it was the royal family that started the war, and the Zhao family has been wiped out?"

"Not at all."

Lin Yun felt that the story was not perfect up to this point. It seemed that there were no flaws, but it didn’t make any sense either. So, Lin Yun continued, “The Zhao family was not exterminated, and the emperor of the new era was a princess of the Zhao family named Zhao Lingyu.”

Since it is made up, the more outrageous it is, the more believable it is.

It is impossible for Chu Huai to know Zhao Lingyu. After all, Zhao Lingyu is only in his twenties, while Chu Huai’s grandson is already that old.

Even if he knew him, it wouldn't matter, it would make the story more real.

Chu Huai was already shocked enough now.

"How can a woman become an emperor?"

In the mortal world, the mentality of men being superior to women is very common. Although women have a certain status, the title of queen is still too exaggerated!
