    The land of Tianhan is more than 2,300 miles in length and breadth, and it is all a swamp.

    Zhang Daoling and Yansheng rode on horseback, walking on the dry dirt road filled by humans. Looking at the endless swamp putrefaction mud on both sides, Yansheng couldn't help but sigh.

    "This is the land of Tianhan, and even the people of Hesong don't want to come here." Yansheng said.

    After seeing it, Zhang Daoling said: "This swamp doesn't look like it has in ancient times."

    Yansheng said: "Shenjun Mingjian, it is indeed true. The land of Tianhan was not originally a swamp, but a plain."

    "Oh?" Zhang Daoling heard what Yansheng said and immediately understood: "Then it must be that the river in the upper reaches changed its course and flooded the land of Tianhan, turning it into a swamp?"

    Yansheng said with admiration: "The divine king has a sharp eye. Yes, one hundred and seventy years ago, the upstream 'Luoyuan Palace' deliberately diverted the 'Yangshui' to the Tianhan border in order to open up fields. Just because when it was diverted, the river course  The excavation was too shallow, and no one had combed it all year round, so the Yangshui River burst its embankments and flooded every year. At that time, the Shenjun of the He Song Dynasty once approached the Shenjun of Luo Yuan to discuss strengthening the Yangshui River embankment, but Luo Yuan Shenfu always refused.  Delayed, over time, Tianhan has become the current situation."

    After hearing this, Zhang Daoling shook his head and said: "If the Lord Luo Yuan shirks, then the Lord Hesong himself can change the matter, but if it continues to be delayed like this, I'm afraid the Lord Hesong doesn't want to spend so much time dealing with the Yangshui matter."

    Yansheng said: "The land of Tianhan is located on the edge of the Hesong Dynasty and has never been taken seriously. It is understandable that the gods of the Hesong Dynasty have ignored it."

    "But who can understand the people of Tianhan within these two thousand miles?" Zhang Daoling said slowly.

    Being tired of being silent, he could only ride his horse and follow Zhang Daoling all the way forward.

    The two of them walked together for dozens of miles without seeing even a single civilian, as if there was not even a single household of common people left in this land of Heaven and Han.

    But Zhang Daoling didn¡¯t think so, because the dirt road under their feet was the best evidence.

    Being able to pave a dirt road for people to walk in the swamp shows that there are still people living in it.

    So the two of them walked for more than ten miles, and sure enough they saw smoke rising from a mountain forest.

    "Let's go over and have a look." Zhang Daoling said.

    So the two rode horses into the mountain forest. The terrain of this mountain forest is quite high and it is a slope. There is no water, so it is still dry.

    When Zhang Daoling and Yansheng entered the mountain forest, they saw more than a dozen houses scattered in the forest, all with earthen walls and wooden roofs. They looked like a small village.

    Soon, people from the village discovered Zhang Daoling and Yansheng, and heard a group of children shouting: "Prayer, prayer, a guest is coming."

    Zhang Daoling swept through with his spiritual thoughts and clearly knew that there were eighty-six people in this village.

    When these people saw Zhang Daoling and Yansheng, they all gathered around curiously.

    Especially when they saw the fabric of Zhang Daoling and Yansheng¡¯s clothes, it was exquisite silk and satin that they had never seen before.

    They have been trapped in this land of the Han Dynasty for generations, and what they want every day is just food and clothing. As for those luxurious and exquisite enjoyments, it is a fantasy for them.

    ? delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies, warblers singing and swallows dancing, singing and dancing to bring peace.

    ¡°These things are beyond their imagination. The best dreams they have ever had were of complete and warm houses, sufficient food, and brand-new clothes, that¡¯s all.

    An old man in his seventies came out surrounded by people. He was stumbling, but his eyes were shining brightly.

    Zhang Daoling said to Yansheng: "From now on, call me Young Master."

    Hearing this, Yansheng immediately understood that Zhang Daoling wanted to hide his identity, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master."

    When the old man came to him, Zhang Daoling got off his horse.

    The old man clasped his fists and asked, "Where do our guests come from?"

    Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "On the order of the Lord God, I came to inspect the land of Tianhan."

    Hearing this, the old man asked: "The Lord of the Song Dynasty?"

    Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "The Divine Lord of the Heavenly Han Dynasty."

    The old man was a little surprised, "The Divine Lord of Tianhan? Could it be the Divine Lord of this land of Tianhan?"

    Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "Exactly, not long ago, the Immortal Court has granted the land of Tianhan to the God of Tianhan. Now the land of Tianhan is no longer under the jurisdiction of the God of Hesong, but the land of the God of Tianhan."

    The old man smiled and shook his head, saying: "What's so good about this land of Tianhan? This Tianhan Divine Lord is probably at a disadvantage."

    Zhang Dao?? He smiled generously and said: "With mountains and water, it is certainly a good place. How can I say that I am at a disadvantage?"

    The old man replied: "The mountains are dangerous mountains and the water is bad water, alas."

    Then, the old man hurriedly asked Zhang Daoling: "I wonder what the order of the Heavenly Han God is? Alas, it stands to reason that the Heavenly Han God was granted the title of Tianhan, and we and the common people should make offerings. However, we have been trapped here for hundreds of years, and we have no food and clothing.  I have never asked for it. How can I have enough money to serve the God King with only four walls?"

    Having said this, the old man wiped away tears secretly, and the people behind him also lowered their heads in shame.

    Seeing this, Zhang Daoling quickly said: "Elders, please don't be sad, and don't worship the gods."

    "What does the Lord God want?" the old man asked.

    Zhang Daoling said: "The Lord God wants to know, how many people are there in this land of Heaven and Han?"

    Hearing the words, the old man pondered for a moment and said: "When I was young, I also traveled around. To say that there are more than ten thousand people in the land of Tianhan, but they live very scattered. I don't know some of them now.  Are you still there?"

    Hearing this, Zhang Daoling felt relieved. There were still more than 10,000 people. Even after several decades, including those who escaped and died of natural causes, there would still be at least 7,000 to 8,000 people.

    "Oh, young master, if you don't mind, please go to the village to have a rest." The old man said to Zhang Daoling.

    Zhang Daoling nodded happily and said, "Okay, thank you very much, elder. What do you call the elder?"

    The old man smiled and said: "I'm an old man, Qi Su. When I traveled in my early years, I gained some knowledge, so people in my old village call me Qi Bo."

    Zhang Daoling saw that Prayer took a step back intentionally to let himself go in front, so he stopped and waited for Prayer to come forward, and stretched out his hands to support Prayer.

    Uncle Qi was shocked and quickly backed away: "How can this be done? How can it be done?"

    Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "There is no need to panic, Uncle Qi. I am just a junior. The juniors help the elders, so why not?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Zhang Daoling still supported Peter Qi with both hands and said, "Uncle Qiu, how long have you and your family been in this land of Heaven and Han?"

    Uncle Qi could not break free, so he could only say tremblingly: "Go back to the young master, my family has lived here for generations, I can't count how many generations."

    Zhang Daoling asked again: "I see you are so trapped here, why don't you leave here?"

    Peter Qiu sighed and said: "We also want to leave, but the world is so big, where is the land that can accommodate us? As the saying goes, it is hard to leave our homeland. If we people continue to be trapped here, although we will not be able to have enough food and clothing,  At least we can survive and continue our family lineage. But if we have to leave our hometown and have an uncertain future, we don¡¯t know how many people will die on the road. We cannot afford such a price."

    Zhang Daoling nodded silently and said, "Yes, the road ahead is vast. How many people can reach the end?"

    This is when everyone walked into the courtyard of the praying family and entered the main room of the praying family.

    Directly above the main hall are the memorial tablets of ancestors of all generations. There is a fire pit on the right side, which should be used to keep warm in winter.

    The surrounding walls are somewhat damaged, and the beams and walls of the house are somewhat distorted.

    Prayer invited Zhang Daoling and Yansheng to sit down on a wooden table in the hall. Then Prayer's daughter-in-law brought two pottery bowls made of clay, poured a bowl of water for Zhang Daoling and Yansheng, and presented them to them.  Two dry, rough cakes.

    "There is nothing to entertain the young master. Please use it, young master." Qi Bo said with a smile on his face.

    Yansheng glanced at the water and coarse cakes in front of him and frowned. To be honest, when he was in the land of Hesong, the dogs he raised at home ate twice as much food as the food in front of him.

    But Zhang Daoling didn¡¯t dislike it and directly picked up the cake and took a bite.

    Zhang Daoling had not chewed a few mouthfuls before he reached out and pinched out a small pebble from his mouth. "If I hadn't been young and had good teeth, I would have fallen into its trap." Zhang Daoling said with a smile.

    Seeing that a noble man like Zhang Daoling did not dislike him, and even joked with him after eating a stone, Qi Bo was extremely happy and grateful, with a simple smile on his face. This is a feeling of sincere efforts and sincere rewards.

    This biscuit is their best food, and it is also the best food they can serve to entertain guests.

    ¡°Prayer¡¯s smile is the sincere and cheerful smile of the poor, their perseverance, and the great smile of the toiling people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
