Resurrection of the Mystery: Starting from the Clone of the Stone-born Monkey.

Chapter 36 Refugees
Wang Ge paused and frowned slightly.

Among the three warriors accompanying him, which one is not a warrior with keen senses and eyes and ears?
They immediately noticed the changes in their Highness and immediately became vigilant, paying attention to any abnormalities around them.

"Master?" Yan Fei asked in a low voice.

When traveling incognito, Yan Fei certainly did not call Wang Ge his highness.

Wang Ge raised his hand to signal the three of them to pay attention. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked more carefully at the coal picker about ten meters away.

"Under my clear eyes, except for the prismatic stone in his arms, this person is just an ordinary villager. He should have just met by chance. And although the prismatic stone has a sinister aura, its aura It’s very weak and can hardly be harmful to life.”

Wang Ge judged in his heart that the strangers he met on the road would not pose a threat to him.

At the same time, he was curious about where this "foul air" came from. If it weren't for the talent of "Elves of Heaven and Earth", Wang Ge would have never seen or heard of "foul air" before.

Wang Ge raised his chin, pointed to the cook not far away, and said to Chen He, the guard beside him:
"Chen He, go over and talk to that coal picker and say that you want to buy the prismatic stone in his arms. You can pay the price yourself. If he agrees, ask him again if he has nightmares at night in the past few days. ."

Chen He was slightly startled when he heard this, but this was His Highness's request, so of course he complied.

When Chen He walked over, Wang Ge and the others stood still and watched.

In just 3 minutes, Chen He came back with the prismatic stone.

Wang Ge stretched out his hand, and Chen He placed the prismatic stone in his palm.

"Sir, the husband admits that he has been plagued by nightmares every night these days." Chen He replied.

He was also curious in his heart, he had heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue had the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, how could he see the details of the man now?
None of them, martial arts masters, can do these things.

However, Wang Ge had no idea of ​​​​answering the question. At this moment, he observed the things in his hands.
The prismatic stone is blue-gray in color and relatively long and narrow. The lower end is wrapped with hemp rope, and the upper end is polished and sharpened.

This is a simple stone knife. The coal picker must be a poor man and does not have access to iron knives.

Wang Ge held the stone knife in his hand and looked at the details up close.

Yan Fei and other guards were confused when they saw this, and then saw Wang Ge remove the hemp rope from the handle, and then squeezed the handle hard to crush it.

"Please take a look and see what you think this is."

Wang Ge opened his palms, and the broken stone slipped from his fingers. What remained in his palm was a grey-white, cylindrical thing.

The three warriors took a closer look. This off-white cylindrical object the size of a thumb gave them a sense of familiarity.

"Young master, can you touch me?" Yan Fei thought of something and asked uncertainly.

Wang Ge said casually.

Yan Fei held the cylindrical object on his fingertips, felt the texture, and then determined the essence of the object:

"This is a human toe bone."

Yan Fei frowned slightly, not because he was frightened by the human bones. As a warrior, Yan Fei had killed people before, but he was very gentle in front of Wang Ge.

He just felt it was a little weird. Not only that, he also judged based on the texture of human bones:

"This person was a bone-training warrior during his lifetime."

The bone training realm is about tempering bones, and Yan Fei can judge the quality of bones based on these tiny details.

"That's true, it's quite weird." Wang Ge nodded slightly.

The filthy aura that his eyes of the Mingling discerned came from this human bone.

Wang Ge felt wrong. Even if this human bone came from a bone-training martial artist, the most dissipated energy from the bones after his death should be the essence, just like the bones of the flood in Xianghu Lake, not the filthy air.

Not to mention that the bones were actually wrapped in stones, and something was wrong everywhere.

As far as he could see, the coal-picking man was still not far away, so Wang Ge said:

"Chen Heqian called that man over. I want to ask where this man is from and where this stone came from."

Chen He clasped his fists and immediately went to "invite" the civilian husband over.

The coal picker's upper body was wearing a short brown cloth, which was stained with coal powder and looked slightly dirty. As soon as he saw Wang Ge and others dressed in bright clothes, he knew that they were not ordinary people, so he stammered:

"Grass people"

Wang Ge raised his eyebrows: "You are not a local."

Three miles have different customs, and five miles have different pronunciations. The coal bearer just opened his mouth, and Wang Ge noticed something was wrong and judged:

"You are from Hengjiang Kingdom."

The Yue State is located in the south, with the sea in the east, the Qing State in the north, the barbarians in the south, and the vassal state of King Hengjiang in the west.

According to the golden horn and silver edge grass belly, the Yue State occupied a "silver edge".

When the coal picker heard Wang Ge reveal his identity, he became even more panicked. His knees were slightly bent and he almost fell to his knees.

Wang Ge frowned, and his tone eased slightly:
"What are you afraid of? I'm not an official. Can I still arrest you? I just want to ask where you are from, how long have you been in Liuyi County, and where did this stone come from? Just to get some news."

Perhaps seeing that Wang Ge was young and handsome, with good skin, white face and red lips, and a look that made people approachable, he was a little less awe-stricken, so he told him his identity.

Then Wang Ge understood that about five months ago, a major earthquake occurred on the western edge of Hengjiang Kingdom. The earth dragon turned over and villagers in several villages were affected by the earthquake. Houses collapsed, people and animals were injured and killed, and there was no harvest.
There are also local tyrants who take advantage of the fire to rob, annex land, and bully men and women.

The disaster-stricken people like the coal bearer had no choice but to leave their homes, cross mountains and ridges and cross national borders, and ran to Yue to make a living.

As for the stone, it was picked up by a coal picker passing by a place called "Jianping Pass" on his way out of the disaster. Seeing that the stone was of good quality, he polished it into a knife.

Wang Ge listened patiently. After nodding slightly, he asked about another thing:

"For those who fled like you, did anyone else go to Liuyi County besides you? How is their livelihood?"

Wang Ge thought of the impact of immigrants on local security.

"Most of the people in my bay are gone. There are a few old men who come here to work and make ends meet." The coal picker rubbed his hands and looked very embarrassed.

Wang Ge looked up and down at the coal picker and took ten coins from his sleeve as a reward.

"Okay, you go about your business."

The coal picker looked a little uneasy while holding the money, as if he felt the money was hot to his hands. He didn't feel relieved until he saw Wang Ge and others leaving.

People without a home are like grass without roots, and they live in panic all day long.

"Does any of you know what's special about Jianping Pass?" Wang Ge asked the left and right guards.

Yan Fei looked thoughtful and said vaguely:

"Jianping Pass is a pass for our country to enter and exit, and it has existed for a long time."

He has limited knowledge of it.

Finally, Yi Yang said:

"I remember that more than 30 years ago, when the Qian Dynasty was ruling the world, they fought a battle with the Gui Kingdom at Jianping Pass. It is said that they killed [-] Gui Kingdom surrender soldiers. When I was young, there was always a rumor about Jianping Pass It’s a mass grave for the dead.”

The last great unified dynasty was Dagan, and when Dagan unified the world, it also fought north and south. This "Gui Kingdom" is one of the countries that were eliminated on the road to the unification of Dagan.

"Battlefield sites, mass graves?" Wang Ge raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in my mind.

Wang Ge suddenly recalled an uninhabited village that was brutally slaughtered by King Wu's army when he returned to Yue Kingdom half a year ago!
