The magician in the city

Chapter 133 Public Station

Chapter 130 The Second Public Station

Du Zhengyi drove off the expressway and onto a national road, and the scenery on the side of the road began to brighten.The distant mountains are like Daisy, and there are tea gardens near the roadside, and occasionally villages and towns are dotted in front of the mountains.After the car window was opened, he breathed the fresh air of the southern countryside, and his mood was much better than when he first came out. Luo Qi also had the illusion of dragging his family out for an outing.

At this time, only Mahjong could say unwelcome words, he suddenly raised his head from the tablet and said, "This big and small Yinbinggou is a bit interesting."

Roach looked at the clear sky outside and the mist falling in the mountains, and secretly rejoiced that they didn't go to Qianzhou.The scenery here does not have a trace of gloom, it is completely idyllic for human beings.He moved his stiff neck, and the history book that Guan Xinyue brought out was spread out on his knees, probably because the speculation he found in the hand-drawn map in the book was too far-fetched, so Du Zhengyi just shook his head. He shook his head and said nothing.

Mahjong didn't seem to listen to what they had to say since he got the tablet. He was always thinking about the map, turning the map around with his fingers.When no one answered, he continued, "This is a place name given by humans, and it is definitely not a place name given by modern humans. The area is mountainous, and human villages will be distributed according to the terrain, so the distribution must not be as uniform as in the northern plains. But carefully If you look at it, there is not even a natural village near Xiaoyinbinggou, isn't it a bit too evil?"

"Since it is the ancient settlement of your mages, you must have fought a lot of battles, right? The legend may come from here." Guan Xinyue said, "Is it possible that your way of fighting is too fancy, and the people who are watching Humans seem to be killing ghosts?"

"Wars... must have been fought a lot." Mahjong grinned and said, as if saying this made his teeth hurt, "But we still fight very elegantly, and I have a chance to let you see Du Zhengyi's fight at close range. I I always feel that the fights of the ancestors are not so ugly, so that humans feel that they are being pinched by a group of ghosts."

"Didn't you mention the sandbox yesterday? Would it be strange for humans to see that kind of barrier-like method?" Guan Xinyue asked again.

"No, the enchantment of the sandbox can make people completely invisible to what's going on inside." Mahjong said, "It's like being in another space."

Guan Xinyue seemed to have thought of something, and her face was a little grim, as if she didn't dare to say anything further, she looked like she was about to get motion sickness.Mahjong asked her again if she felt uncomfortable, and she said slowly, "Will you...will drive away corpses to fight? Just like the legendary corpse drivers?"

Mahjong really hesitated this time. He put down the tablet and crossed his hands, unable to make up his mind for a while.There are ways to drive away dead bodies, but that is a page of shame for mages, and mages today are often unwilling to admit that they have done that.

Before he could figure it out, Roach said, "It's unlikely."

"Why?" Mahjong asked subconsciously.

Du Zhengyi said, "Necronomy has been extinct for 300 years, and almost no one knows how to use it now. Even counting from 300 years ago, no mage has used this kind of magic on a large scale for at least 2000 years. The local Since it is called Yinbinggou, the fact that it can become a soldier is a hint of its scale. If 2000 years ago, there had been a large number of carrion puppet corpses there, which frightened the locals until today and they still keep the place name and dare not live there. This is unlikely. 2000 Years is a long time."

"That's true." Mahjong heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Du Zhengyi's train of thought, "That is to say, there may still be some relics in the local area, which are still scary even in modern times. What could it be? ? From the perspective of human beings, what can Yinbinggou refer to?"

"Dead man's ditch." Roach said lightly in front.

Even Du Zhengyi, who was driving, glanced at him, "What does Dead Man's Ditch mean?"

"It's a mass death of many people at the same time." Roach said, "It needs to be buried in a centralized manner."

"Did the plague die?" Guan Xinyue said from behind, she didn't even notice that she started talking to Luo Qi again.

"People generally call such places mass graves, not Yinbinggou." Luo Qi said, remembering that both of Du Zhengyi's parents died of the plague, he felt uncomfortable when he mentioned this, so he secretly watched Du Zhengyi With a glance, he hurriedly brought up the topic, "No, that won't be so scary, and the scale won't be that huge. I don't think the name has anything to do with mages directly. A ditch is a valley, and it refers to two local A whole human army must have been buried in the valley. I think the scale must be at least hundreds of thousands, so it can be called Yinbinggou. Yinbing must refer to the dead army, and Yinbinggou is the valley where the dead army is buried. Never on such a scale as humans, we don't have that many people, we can't afford that kind of battle, and never have so many people died in World War I, so it's still a relic of humanity. Hundreds of thousands of dead bodies are buried in the valleys, it rains Sometimes, or when there is a flash flood, some bones may be washed out from time to time. So whether it is a legend or a fear, it will be passed down from generation to generation in the local people."

"You're not talking about the Battle of Changping, are you?" Guan Xinyue said in surprise, "Did the Battle of Changping take place there?"

"It's not just the Battle of Changping that killed tens of thousands of people." Roach said, "The severity of wars during the Warring States period is something that later generations can't understand, and the Battle of Changping is just a typical example."

Du Zheng couldn't help smiling when he heard what he said, "You know other people's affairs well, but you only know a little about your own affairs."

Roach licked his lips embarrassingly, "This place probably has a complicated history. I don't know what opportunity they seized in Qianzhou."

Guan Xinyue suddenly asked suspiciously, "Since there are many mages in this place, what are mages doing when humans are fighting?"

The three mages in the car suddenly became quiet, and no one answered Guan Xinyue's words for a long time.Guan Xinyue waited for a while before realizing the strangeness of the atmosphere. She raised her head to look at the three people, and finally Luo Qi said, "Sometimes they get mixed up, and it's not clear at all."

"Forget it," Guan Xinyue said cheerfully, "Let's not talk about the unclear history. Where are we going?"

Mahjong looked out together with her. They had already left the national road and drove into a village road without asphalt. Maybe it didn't even count as a village road. There were mountains around and couldn't see the village. There are no more roads.

Mahjong suddenly realized, "There is a public station here? Thank you for knowing, Du Zhengyi! Are all the locations of public stations on this continent in your mind?"
