NOVEL NEXT Legend of the Elven Investigator
Chapter 88 God and Town
Among the many towns in the Sinnoh region, Shenhe Town may not rank high in terms of population and economy, but it is definitely the city with the strongest religious atmosphere.This town located in the center of the mainland still retains a rather quaint appearance.
"There are not many shops and entertainment venues in this town. The residents who live here, don't they need entertainment? I can't bear it if I live here forever." Ah Xun originally had high expectations for Shenhe Town. During the time in the Dianyuan Mountain Range, he suffered a lot, and he just waited to return to the civilized world to enjoy it.
Shinpei ignored it, and told himself with a keen intuition that these pedestrians walking on the street and the town residents in various houses all had an unusual appearance.
Polite and well-behaved, but it can't cover up the inner arrogance.
In the eyes they look at themselves as outsiders, they can always feel the indifference of being thousands of miles away.
The trio wandered around the street for a few laps, and finally chatted with an uncle dressed as a farmer.
"The three of you don't seem to be from our town, right? Don't mind, I'm not the same as them. I moved here from other places in recent years, and I'm not an aborigine here." The uncle laughed, took out a bong from his bag with his hoe, and smoked it by himself.
Seeing that someone was finally willing to talk to him, Shinpei took out his camping lighter and lit his bong.
Amidst the smog, the uncle revealed some information about Shenhe Town.
"You are foreigners, and you may not know the history of Shenhe Town. This town is not an ordinary town of residents. Most of the people who live here are people related to the temple." While swallowing the clouds, the identities of the residents of Shenhe Town were gradually revealed.
"In the depths of the Dianyuan Mountains, there is a place called the Temple, where a group of strange people lived for a long time. Of course, I only heard about it, and I don't know what it really is. But, as long as there are people in the place, there must be communication and mutual exchange. This town is the place where the people inside the Temple communicate with the outside world and obtain supplies. Over time, it has developed into a town with tens of thousands of people."
As an important place to communicate with the outside world, Shenhe Town has always assumed the responsibility of connecting the outside world with the depths of Dianyuan Mountain.
"Although this information is not insider information, it is still very valuable to me. In this way, those residents are actually external members of the temple family." Shinpei's eyes flickered, and the fear of the temple family in his heart became stronger.
"It's just the exchange of what's needed to form a town like this. This kind of power is really terrifying. In Shenhe Town, the alliance is probably not the one who really has the final say. I don't know how the alliance tolerates such a behemoth that almost separates the place. Could it be that its power has reached the point where even the alliance needs to think twice?"
Shinpei speculates in his heart that the temple family values bloodlines. I am afraid that only family members whose blood concentration reaches a certain level are eligible to enter the core temple. Those who stay in Shenhe Town are just serving as the cornerstone.
According to the information that Shinpei learned, the temple is an ancient organization that has been passed down since ancient times. In the land of Sinnoh, the history far exceeds that of the alliance.It should be known that the origin of the Alliance is in the Kanto Continent, and the headquarters of the Supreme Alliance is located on the Quartz Plateau. For the temple, the Alliance may be an external force.
"After all, the alliance is still better. Even if it is just a regional alliance, it has forced the temple family to restrain themselves a lot. The elf center in Shenhe Town has just been built and put into use recently. Where there is an elf center, it is the area covered by the alliance. It seems that these two forces are fighting against each other, but I am naturally on the side of the alliance."
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and even children understand such a simple truth.After all, there can only be one voice in Sinnoh Continent, and there must be a battle between the two.
"Ahem, the smoke is still a bit choking, and I know so much about God and Town. Although there are a lot of weirdos, as long as you don't deliberately cause trouble, and go to some sensitive places, you can still wander around. I'll go first." The uncle choked, waved his hand and lifted his hoe, and left in the direction of the residence.
Indeed, there are many ancient ruins besides Shenhe Town.There are a large number of ancient ruins in Shenhe Town, and the degree of development is far less than that of other densely populated areas. Zhenping is quite interested in these undeveloped ruins.
You know, the ruins are linked to treasures to some extent.Those objects left over from ancient times, as long as they are not decayed and damaged, are basically treasures.
"If I can find one or two precious props, my time in Shenhe Town will not be wasted."
……
Heartland, gods and relics.
Several people walked into this rare relic open to the public with great interest. As the relic of Shenhe Town, the relic of Shenhe has always been the key item for ordinary people to visit in their travels.In addition to the precious cultural relics that have been protected, these wall paintings that are difficult to move are the most precious historical relics.
Inside the Shenhe Ruins, there are not many tourists.Except for the three of them, Shinpei, and a couple, only an old woman with a cane has been wandering in the ruins.
"You young people, are you interested in this mural?"
After observing for a while, the old woman walked a few steps with a smile and asked the three people who were observing the murals.With a natural affinity, she gently touched the head of the little fire monkey lying on Zhenping's shoulder with her wrinkled palm, causing the latter to moan comfortably.
"jiji~"
The little fire monkey changed its angle and showed its belly to the old man, eagerly seeking to be stroked.
"This old man is not simple!" Shinpei was surprised. As a baby elf who was just born one day ago, Little Fire Monkey was instinctively wary of unfamiliar strangers. Apart from himself, even Ah Xun would not let him touch him. This old man was able to make Little Fire Monkey completely let go of his guard.
"We are travelers, and we just passed by Shenhe Town, so we came to see the precious relics here. May I ask who you are?" Shinpei tried to find out the identity of the old man. Her special scholarly temperament made people involuntarily think of Dr. Yamanashi.
The temperament of the two is quite similar, Shinpei is a little curious.
The old woman smiled without saying a word, tapped her fingers a few times, and the little fire monkey obediently spread out its belly and let it be stroked: "You little fire monkey, you must have just hatched, right?"
The astonishment in Zhenhei's eyes became more intense: "That's right, the little fire monkey was hatched just yesterday."
"You little fire monkey is lucky. The champion Vulcan worm appeared in this area yesterday, and some of the remaining energy was taken advantage of by this little guy."
"what do you mean?"
The old woman patted the little fire monkey's head again, the little guy understood, and a small mouthful of fire pillars spewed out from his mouth, it was a powerful fire-type move that spewed flames!
"The ordinary little fire monkey only grasped sparks when it was just born, but this little guy has been influenced by the Vulcan insect and has mastered some unusual abilities. Its flame is naturally stronger. This is your luck."
Withdrawing the right hand that was stroking the little fire monkey, the old woman said gently.Zhen Ping felt that he was very lucky to be able to pick up this bargain.If the old woman hadn't mentioned one more word, I wouldn't even know about it.Shinpei immediately bent down and bowed to the old man to express his gratitude, and the latter waved his hand, indicating that he should not be rigid about etiquette.
"Then again, can you tell anything from this mural?"
The crutch pointed at the mural, and the old man asked.
The special-textured rock walls are covered with lines of unknown meaning. Three peculiar light spots are arranged in a triangle, and a larger light spot is placed in the middle area.The triangle forms a harmonious whole, no matter from which direction it is viewed, it is the most balanced and perfect form.
"Triangle is the most stable form. These three light spots on the murals of the ruins constitute a balanced posture. If it is explained mathematically, this is just a triangle."
"But this mural was handed down from ancient times, and it even appeared in the special place of Shenhe Town."
"What is the symbol of the three in Sinnoh's mythology? If it is the Kanto area, people may think of the three holy birds, and the Chengdu area will think of the three holy beasts, and the three sacred pillars in the Fangyuan area. But what about Sinnoh? It seems that people don't know much about it.
"There are not many shops and entertainment venues in this town. The residents who live here, don't they need entertainment? I can't bear it if I live here forever."
