Chapter 1438 The Royal Family Returns
“I heard that Yunjing City and Shenyi Mountain are blessed by the gods, but this is because many, many years ago, the founding emperor of Dongqing walked out of Yunjing City.”
Two young men with the surname Zhou told Xiao Lanyuan the legend of Yunjing City.
"At that time, Dongqing was not called Dongqing. There were several tribes and forces fighting for territory everywhere. They fought and robbed each other every day. As a result, the good places were messed up and no one had the heart to live and cultivate. The previous emperor worshipped the mountain god on Shenyi Mountain. It is said that he received instructions from the mountain god and later established Dongqing."
Xiao Lanyuan actually didn't really believe in things like the mountain god's protection.
He might have believed it when he first met Fu Zhaoning, but after being with Fu Zhaoning for a long time and hearing such statements, he was more inclined to believe that there was something special about the topography or geology here.
And when the natural disaster came, it happened to prevent the landslide and the earth from breaking.
It is said that the plants planted on Mt. Shenyi have very developed root systems, which can also strengthen the mountain in a certain way.
Moreover, this is already a place close to Dongqing. When natural disasters came to Dongqing in the past, they occurred in another direction, but stopped here.
But no matter what, it has been so long since the incident happened, and it is not entirely a bad thing for people to have this kind of belief.
At least, because they believed that Shenyi Mountain was blessed by the gods, they had stayed in Yunjing City peacefully for so many years, and dared to go to Shenyi Mountain to continue looking for food, cutting wood and hunting.
But why doesn’t it work now?
Zhou Tu said, "But the royal family has disappeared for so many years. Some people say that if Dongqing has no royal family, the gods may no longer bless Shenyi Mountain."
"What does this have to do with the royal family?"
Although Xiao Lanyuan himself was a descendant of the Dongqing royal family, he still found it hard to believe what he heard.
"Yes, the mountain god protects the royal family because those forces used to rob mountains everywhere, and some even burned mountains. Shenyi Mountain was almost burned down before, but the late emperor led people to drive away those lunatics and protect Shenyi Mountain. That's why he is said to be protecting Shenyi Mountain."
Xiao Lanyuan nodded.
No matter how exaggerated a legend becomes, it always has some origin. There is nothing to argue about this.
"Besides the fact that the royal family is gone, what else makes you think that Yunjing City can't hold on?"
“It’s mainly people.”
Zhou Rui said, "Yunjing City has a long history, but no outsiders have come for decades. Those great scholars and people with crafts are no longer in the world, and there are more and more people in the city who can be called relatives."
"In recent years, doctors have all died of old age, but the ones that have come next are still enough to take over completely. In addition, in recent years, many children in the city have been born with defects, and there have even been many stillborn babies."
"The growth of medicinal herbs on Shenyi Mountain can't keep up with the speed at which everyone digs them, and the weather has been bad in the past few years, so the harvest has been much worse, so everyone has been tightening their belts."
I see.
It seems that without development, people will have problems surviving.
In the end, perhaps we can only return to being a small tribe, and even our clothing will be regressed.
"I heard that you, Your Majesty, are of royal blood? If the people in the city knew about this, they would definitely be very happy. We all look forward to the return of the royal family!"
Zhou Tu and Zhou Rui looked at Xiao Lanyuan excitedly.
