Chapter 198 The hometown of the sacred tree, the beautiful Loulan welcomes you

In the Loulan tribe’s camp.

The fluffy curly haired man and the shiny braised egg walked side by side on the only street in the camp that was not very busy. The curly haired man looked around curiously.

Along the way, Uchiha Gin found that although the residents who settled here were poor in material resources, their faces were filled with smiles and their words were full of love for a better life. He couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of the people here.

"Mr. Yin is truly a great traveler, with so much experience!"

Along the way, the well-informed Uchiha Gin taught Samana, as a guide, a lot about the customs and customs of other countries.

The eyes of this boy who had never seen the world shone brightly, and he was even more amazed. He looked at Uchiha Gin with a trace of respect in his eyes.

"Hey! Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning~"

Anyway, these are all things Uchiha Gin saw on TV and comic books, and every one of them is well-documented, so there is no burden to brag about them.

"When Mr. Yin is ready to leave, we can help escort him."

Uchiha Gin pretended to buy some supplies, and looked like he was in a hurry to set off. The Samana who was still unfinished on the side let go of the last trace of vigilance in his heart, and then asked aloud,

"Boss, wrap up this little doll for me, uh... I'll set off after I purchase enough supplies, after all."

Pointing at the honest-looking ancient dolls displayed on the stall, Uchiha Gin turned his head, pretending to think in his eyes, then looked embarrassed, and became hesitant when speaking.

"What exactly?"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's hesitation, Samana, who was still relatively simple in mind, hurriedly asked, unaware that he had been tricked.

"Oh~ I was embarrassed to say it at first, but Brother Samana has spoken, so I'll tell you."

Uchiha Gin paused, with a mysterious expression on his face, and whispered to Samana,

"First of all, let me say that I don't mean to look down on anyone, but you also know that I am a traveler and I am only interested in the secrets of various places."

Looking at Shamon's doubtful eyes, Uchiha Gin suppressed the smile in his heart and continued to explain,

"With all due respect, your tribe doesn't seem to be a place with any interesting secrets, so I have no interest in staying. Next, I want to go back to my hometown in the Country of Fire to ensure that my family is safe."

"Huh? Who are you looking down on!"

A simple provocation can yield unexpected surprises.

This trick has been tried and tested against the simple natives.

I saw blue veins popping up on Shamon's shiny forehead, and then it was instantly dyed red representing shame and anger. With an angry look on his face, he stared at Uchiha Gin with a sincere face, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Samana, don't take it personally. If you have a chance to visit my hometown in the future, I will show you the specialties of our hometown."

Patting Samana's shoulder, the sincerity in Uchiha's silver eyes was visible to the naked eye. This made the bald head's anger nowhere to vent, and the struggle in his eyes became even stronger.

"Mr. Yin, in fact, we in Loulan also have secrets that have been passed down for many years."

In the end, Samana, who had not yet experienced the dangers of society, revealed his family's background to Uchiha Gin without reservation.

"Really? Come and listen~"

Uchiha Gin cooperated and showed a look of eagerness for knowledge, which greatly satisfied Samana's vanity. He pointed in the direction of the center of the camp and motioned to follow him.

"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the Kingdom of Wind was a vast fertile land with a pleasant climate and luxuriant water and grass. Until one day, a huge sacred tree grew on this land."

As Samana walked, he told Uchiha Gin, who was following behind him, stories that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Sacred tree? Isn't it the ancestor's tree?

This was the first time he heard the story about the sacred tree from the natives. Uchiha Gin frowned. Sure enough, the dragon veins hidden in Loulan were closely related to the Otsutsuki clan.

"At first, when people saw this spectacle, they came to worship one after another, thinking that it was a manifestation of the gods. However, as time went by, local residents discovered that although the sacred tree became more and more lush, the fertile soil where it took root became increasingly dense. Barren, this change swept across the entire Kingdom of Wind like a plague.”

The monk who was walking in front did not notice Uchiha Gin's strange expression. He only felt that the other party was shocked by the secret he told, so he continued to talk to himself,

"The residents at the foot of the sacred tree were unable to adapt to this change and had no choice but to reluctantly leave their hometown. However, a small group of people still chose to stay and stick to this desert."

Samana, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and raised his finger to point ahead. Uchiha Gin also raised his head from his thoughts. Following the direction pointed by the other party, he saw a towering black spire.

The tower is surrounded by a thick stone wall, and several burly guards patrol in front of the door. It can be seen that this is Loulan's forbidden area.

"here it is?"

Even without turning on his super perception, Uchiha Gin could still feel the profound power contained in the pagoda, and the surrounding space was rippled by the overflowing power.

"Perhaps the people who stayed here moved the gods. One morning, everyone woke up from their sleep and found that the originally strong sacred tree had disappeared. If it weren't for the bottomless holes left on the ground, Everyone will think this is just a long nightmare."

After stopping for a while in front of the tower, Samana took Uchiha Gin towards the gate of the black tower. The patrolling guards, after seeing the visitor, all looked respectful and consciously gave way.

"Brother Samana, it seems that your identity is not as simple as a guard captain, right?"

After a little awareness of the patrolling guards, Uchiha Gin discovered that the strength of these people was not as weak as the gatekeepers outside the camp. They were at least at the level of jounin.

He just didn't expect that such a barren land would hide so many masters. Then he cast his eyes on Sha Men in front, with a moderate "shock" in his tone, and asked slowly,

"Originally, I just wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that what I got in exchange was suspicion."

I saw Shamen, a bald man, getting more and more excited as he talked. The curve of his mouth was almost uncontrollable. His two small eyes were full of jealousy. He walked into the black tower with Uchiha Gin and turned around. He raised his hands and declared loudly,

"Okay! I won't pretend anymore, I'm showing my cards right. I, Samana, am the guardian of Loulan, the dragon-protecting clan that has guarded the dragon's veins for generations~"

Um. Brother Samana, I think you are really crazy because of being trapped in too many dramas.

Uchiha Gin secretly rolled his eyes and thought in his heart.

"Huh? I didn't expect that Brother Shaman was actually from the Baolong clan, so disrespectful~"

However, as a qualified admirer, Uchiha Gin did his part to show qualified professional qualities and applauded to show respect.

"Hmph~ I didn't expect that the reputation of our Baolong clan has spread to other countries."

Salmon was greatly impressed by Uchiha Gin's compliment, and the lust in his eyes almost spurted out of his dragon's claws.

"Um, no, it's the first time I heard it, but it doesn't matter, the name sounds very powerful."

I love telling the truth, Tietie~

"Pfft! Then why are you clapping there?"

The Samana was so angry that his energy and blood almost flowed backwards. He finally regained his composure and complained to Uchiha Gin with a calm expression,

"Hi~ We are all buddies. By the way, you haven't finished telling the story just now. What happened after the sacred tree disappeared?"

Uchiha Gin used the buddy card to offset Samana's negative emotions and eliminate the dissatisfaction in the other party's heart.

"Ahem. Mr. Yin, look at this pit. This is the relic left after the sacred tree disappeared."

Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Uchiha Gin no longer resisted, and stretched out his head to look at the bottom of the pit. He saw a blue light surging at the bottom, and he could feel the mysterious power in it from such a distance.

"Who's the one below?"

Frowning, Uchiha Gin pointed at the blue halo overflowing below and asked aloud,

"After the sacred tree disappeared, the people who stayed behind discovered a power in the pit. This power nourished the surrounding environment and created an oasis. So the grateful people protected the pit and at the same time Camps were built on it, and tribes were formed.”

The monk raised his hand and pointed to the mural inside the black tower, which depicts the history of the people who guard the potholes and thrive under the blessing of this power.

But what surprised Uchiha Gin the most was that in the middle of the mural, there was a giant dragon, and at the feet of the dragon, countless Loulan ancestors were kneeling and worshiping.

"Brother Samana, where did that dragon come from?"

"Mr. Yin, that is the power entrenched underground in the pit. Because it often appears in the shape of a dragon, we Loulan people call it the Dragon Vein."

I really didn't expect that the dragon vein is actually related to the sacred tree of the Otsutsuki clan. I just don't know if it is a companion of the sacred tree, or is the original power produced by the earth to resist the erosion of the sacred tree.

"The ancestors of Loulan, in order to prevent the power of the dragon vein from being coveted by evil people, asked their descendants to stick to this place for generations to come."

After telling the ancient secrets of Loulan, Salmon's narrow eyes were filled with reverence. He raised his hand and touched the tattoo on his head, and said to Uchiha Gin who looked thoughtful,

"To commemorate my becoming a member of the dragon-protecting clan that protects the dragon vein, I specially got a dragon tattoo on my body. How cool!"

"Well, it matches you well."

It is difficult for Uchiha Gin to comment on this point. After all, people have different aesthetics, and you cannot use your own aesthetics to force others.

After visiting the Dragon Veins, the two of them didn't stay much longer. After all, this was Loulan's forbidden area. It was already very transgressive for Samana to bring Uchiha Gin in to get close contact with the Dragon Veins.

"How about it? The secrets of our Loulan are not inferior to those of other countries, right?"

After walking out of the black tower, Salmon proudly raised his bare brows at Uchiha Gin, with a simple smile on his lips.

"It's really unbelievable. I will record it carefully and go back to help Loulan with your tourism promotion. When it becomes popular, don't forget to give me a commission~"
