Chapter 311 Peach Blossom Spring
After passing several lines of defense, the Black Flag Battalion patrols in the mountains became much more relaxed.

Without the constant threat of death hanging over his head, Chen Jing'an finally dared to walk to the edge of the forest, occasionally picking up a bow and arrow, pretending to be a hunter traveling at the foot of the mountain.

The southern mountainous area stretches for hundreds of miles, so Chen Jingan is not worried about getting lost along the way.

Valleys, rivers, and even the direction in which the "Earth Dragon Black Road" extends are his "guiding lights."

Even if he really got lost, he would take out the compass fish he had prepared in advance, a small fish made of iron sheets and magnetized by natural magnets.

As long as you place the "compass fish" in a bowl of water, the fish head will slowly point to the south.

Although the magnetization effect of the compass fish is weak, it can still determine the direction when combined with the "Emperor Star" hanging in the north at night.

Every night before going to bed, Chen Jing'an would take out a palm-sized wooden board.

While drinking mountain spring water, he carved a horizontal line on the board to confirm the number of days he had been hiding. Then he recalled the secret information he had found in these days, and finally fell asleep slowly.

There should be quite a few people living in the mountains. Chen Jing'an could see roads trampled by the people from time to time.

One day, he saw a narrow path leading directly to the bottom of a valley, and he could see wisps of smoke rising from a long distance away.

It should be the gathering place of mountain people, and the path deviates from the direction of the "black road" and forks.

Chen Jing'an did not hesitate on the question of whether to continue along the dark road or find some food.

He looked at the dry food in his pocket and found only a small half left. He should find an opportunity to "steal" some food from the mountain people.

It is impossible to exchange things directly.

It’s not that he was born to love stealing, but the mountain people here must have been controlled by the Black Flag Camp for a long time. When they see a stranger like him, they will most likely call the Black Flag Army to arrest him.

Comparing the relative distance of the smoke in his mind, Chen Jing'an carefully moved to the vicinity of the village and hid himself there. He parted the grass and slowly looked out.

In the end, he did not see the familiar thatched house, but saw a wooden plaque standing at the entrance of the village with a few large characters written on it -

Diversified Film and Television City
Multiple, diverse films, visual city?

No, Chen Jingan thought to himself that his punctuation was wrong, it should be multiple, transformed into a shadow, and visual city, right?

Chen Jing'an repeated it silently several times. Yuan generally refers to the chief or the top of the list.

For example, "yuanfu" refers to the chief minister, and "lianzhongsanyuan" refers to winning the first place in the imperial examination three times in a row.

Diversity is basically multiple “firsts”, first in hunting, first in fishing, or first in farming?

I guess the mountain people here are all good at farm work.

Shadow, what turns into a shadow?
This is rather strange, and Chen Jingan can't figure it out.

As for the last city of vision, it should be called "vision".

However, using the word "city" to refer to one's own village feels a bit like showing off.

I have never heard of a small village worthy of the title of "city".

Chen Jing'an was suspicious and thought, "Let the Jinyiwei commander-in-chief take a good look at what kind of "city" this is."

He planned to observe the activities and habits of the mountain people, as well as the distribution of money, food and livestock, so that he could succeed at night.

However, when he took a closer look, he realized that the mountain people were not exaggerating when they called themselves "Visual City"!
This place is more like a small town than a village, and it can even catch up with the size of some medium and lower-level county towns.

Chen Jing'an was stunned and stared into the distance. Thousands of houses of different sizes, heights, and colors stretched from the "village entrance" into the distance.

Each style of building complex will have a slightly shorter plaque with different Chinese characters written on it:

Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Song, Ming, Qing and Republic of China...

Chen Jing'an had heard a little about some of the previous dynasties.

When he was not carrying out undercover missions, he would occasionally drink and socialize with officials and gentry, and listen to them talk about sage classics and ancient history at the banquet.

The guests often leave with beaming faces after talking, but sometimes they would argue over a different comment on one or two pieces of history.

From this he also understood a lot about ancient history.

He understood that before the Ming Dynasty there was the Mongols, and then the Zhao Song Dynasty.

But now it is the Ming Dynasty, why are the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty following the Ming Dynasty?
The person hasn’t died yet, how can we know what life will be like after death?
Chen Jing'an suddenly thought of the immortal who bestowed the "Black Dragon" again.

Could it be that the immortal leaked the secrets of the mortal world and told mortals what history would be like later, so he was captured by the god of justice and brought back to heaven?

Chen Jing'an thought about it, and felt around the Ming Dynasty, and suddenly realized that this Qing Dynasty might be referring to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong?
Chen Jing'an had a bad premonition in his heart and hurriedly moved towards the "Qing Dynasty" and "Republic of China" buildings. He saw a group of men with braids moving in the houses.

However, the braids of these mountain people are thicker than the "golden money rat tail", as if the front half of the Chinese bun has been cut off, and the hanging braids are also longer and thicker than the rat tail.

Fortunately, fortunately, he is not a real Tartar leader.

This mountainous area is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, so it is naturally impossible for the Tartars to sneak in and lurk there.

The mountain people of the "Republic of China" were very strange. They all had most of their hair shaved off like the Western barbarians, and their clothes were very slim-fitting. The occasional common people who mixed in wore short clothes, which was somewhat similar to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Even stranger are the other buildings.

Chen Jing'an was just turning his head to take a look when he heard someone in the Daiqing building complex roar, "The dog Tartars are doing evil things, and our Hubei New Army is rebelling!"

When he heard the word "anti", Chen Jing'an trembled with fear and quickly buried himself in the grass.

These mountain people are indeed the Black Flag Camp. They gather in the mountains and secretly train their troops. They are about to rebel out of the mountains and seize the prefecture and county!

No!

Chen Jingan said to himself that he had to go out and report the news quickly, otherwise with the troop-carrying speed of the "Earth Dragon", the Black Flag Camp would be able to capture all the prefectures and counties in Linshan in half a month!
But he stretched his neck and retreated.

These "new soldiers" who wanted to rebel all had short hair and were armed with special bird guns. He could be killed by the bird guns if he was not careful, so he decided to endure for a while and wait until dark.

"Charge! Seize the Chuwangtai ammunition depot!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Come with me!"

These short-haired soldiers were very heroic, and they rushed towards a warehouse in front of them with their bird guns.

The defenders of the warehouse were quite brave and each of them held a musket and shot at the invading rebels.

Chen Jing'an didn't hear clearly the words "expel the Tartars and restore China", and thought that those who were defending the warehouse were loyal people who were devoted to the Ming Dynasty and were determined not to let the rebels succeed.

Boom boom boom!
Thunderous explosions rang out one after another, balls of fire and smoke were thrown into the air, and the short-haired soldiers who were impacted fell to the ground one after another.

The soldiers who were guarding the armory waved their sabers and pointed at the city walls, "Brothers, it's time to serve the court!"

The rebels and the loyal ministers collided with each other. They used the fake "sharp knives" on the bird guns to fight each other, and finally fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Hearing this roar, Chen Jing'an was immediately moved.

There are still loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty!
Even though they were in the heart of the rebels, they still had the Ming Dynasty in their hearts and were loyal to the court.

It is true that there is only one loyal person in the poor mountains and bad waters!
At this time, a short-haired soldier drew a half arc in the air with his broadsword, and then shouted loudly, "If you don't rebel against the Qing Dynasty, you will be punished by having an electric drill on your chrysanthemum!"

Before this person could charge out, a man wearing a Fan Yang hat came out shouting, holding a short stick in his hand, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

With the capped man's shouts, the fierce drama of the rebels attacking the loyalists suddenly came to a halt. The dead lying on the ground stood up one after another, and the short-haired soldiers killed by the "thunderbolt" also raised their upper bodies and looked around in confusion.

"Who's messing with the lines?! This is a serious drama, and your words have completely changed the tone of the entire show..."

The financier has set a deadline for delivery. If we mess it up, none of us will be able to eat, you understand?"

"Sorry, I was so emotional..."

"If it happens again, go to another crew..."

No?

These people are not dead?

Chen Jing'an rubbed his eyes and confirmed again and again that the corpses on the ground were alive. Even the blood and wounds on their bodies were created by disguise. Just a light wipe would reveal the real skin under the "disguise". As for the splattered blood, they should be blood bags made of vermilion pigment.

My goodness, is this a drama or a military exercise?

Chen Jing'an had to admit that this was an audio-visual feast he had never seen before.

After confirming that it was not a rebellion, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the other half was stuck in his throat.

Whether it is a drama or a military exercise, the Black Flag Army has mastered every military skill to perfection.

Just from those scenes of "close combat", you can see that the Black Flag soldiers have real skills.

The Black Flag soldiers were indeed so terrifying. A strong sense of ambition rushed towards him, and Chen Jing'an couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

After watching this "mutiny drama", he felt that he was still not satisfied, and immediately looked at other buildings. For example, it was obvious at a glance that the Western style was definitely not that of China.

A group of Western barbarian men and women were active in the town. Sometimes they were discussing palace conspiracies, sometimes blood-spattered gladiators, sometimes a construction area with the words "Vikings" written on it, and even a "pornographic scene" being performed in a semi-open room...

Chen Jing'an took a closer look, and the excitement that had been aroused in an instant suddenly softened.

That was not a daytime sexual act at all, but just a misplaced performance.

The man pressed on the woman, the man pretended to be strong, the woman pretended to scream, and then another woman pushed the door open and walked in...

It turned out to be a scene of catching an adulterer alive.

Tsk, Chen Jingan thought to himself, whether you dare to do it for real, he promised not to peek.

However, these "actors" could not hear Chen Jing'an's inner voice and continued to act out the melodramatic plot.

Chen Jing'an continued to move forward. The buildings in the distance seemed more distinctive. The plaques there read "Hammer Paradise", "2D Nest", and "Battlefield French Fries".

Especially those period dramas, which are somewhat similar to the previous "Republic of China" architectural complexes, and the people all have short hair.

It’s just that these people with short hair and short clothes are more energetic, and they are acting out some trivial family stories.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jingan suddenly thought of his wife and children at home. He was often away on business, and his family was rarely together.

If I can gather enough information to serve the court this time, get a promotion and a raise in salary, I can spend more time with my family in the future.

While thinking about the smiling faces of his family, Chen Jingan suddenly saw a huge monster behind a tower.

He opened his eyes wide and carefully observed the three strange "sculpture"-like things.

Based on the height of pedestrians and houses, he estimated that the three strange things were more than twenty feet tall. One was dark green, one was red, and the other was a mix of blue, white, red and yellow.

The overall appearance of the three of them resembles a soldier wearing iron armor.

The green one-eyed warrior holds two battle axes.

The red one-eyed warrior with multiple sharp horns on his head holds a gun that looks like a bird gun.

The obviously more handsome warrior with white eyes held a red shield in one hand and a musket in the other.

The three soldiers all stood in a cool posture, giving people a strong sense of oppression, as if they could crush the tiny pedestrians into meat paste with just one foot.

More than a hundred short-haired soldiers wearing roughly the same clothes were lined up in three long rows, standing under the "giant armored warriors".

Only when the whistle-blowing officer on the side shouted that the time was up and the people inside should come out did the short-haired soldiers reluctantly walk out of the cabin.

Chen Jing'an was immediately shocked.

This giant warrior's belly can actually hide a person!
As the man climbed down the triangular ladder, another man climbed up the ladder, entered the cavity in the soldier's chest, and then pulled back the hard cover to cover it.

"I'll attack in Gundam form! Oooooooh!"

The short-haired soldier sitting on the chest of the "armored soldier" seemed quite excited and proud, and from time to time he uttered some childish and funny onomatopeia: diu, diu, tat, tat, "I destroyed a Zaku, and my record has been added!"

There were also passionate men in red and green armor who boarded the stage.

When they were on the ground, they were clearly soldiers with strong bodies and solemn expressions. However, once they entered the "giant warrior", they seemed to become childish children or ventriloquist, with all kinds of lines and onomatopoeia flying around like crazy.

"Char, you plotted against me!"

"My father never hit me!"

"Humans whose souls are bound by the Earth's gravity..."

Could this be some kind of worship ritual? Are these three giant warriors the deities worshipped by the Black Flag Battalion, the gods who bestowed the black earth dragon?
The more Chen Jing'an thought about it, the more he felt it was right.

I think that's right. Believers will only expose themselves when they are close to the gods they believe in.

I believe these soldiers of the Black Flag Camp also have their own troubles, and I hope that the Great Warrior Immortal can help them solve their problems.

Chen Jing'an calmed himself down and made a gesture of worship towards the three immortals. He didn't know whether to use the Buddhist or Taoist gestures, so he simply used all the religious gestures he was familiar with.

He secretly prayed to the immortal for protection, hoping that he could find out more secrets about the Black Flag Camp and return alive to reunite with his family.

Perhaps the immortal answered his prayers—

The next morning, Chen Jing'an was awakened by the Black Flag soldiers who had gotten up very early.

The other party shouted excitedly, and the "big mixed exercise" held irregularly was about to begin.

Suddenly, a fat behemoth took off from a valley several miles away from the "Vision City".

It was a monster that Chen Jing'an had never seen before. A round yellow smiling face was painted on its huge ellipsoidal belly, with squinting eyes, lips curved into crescents, and two raised eyebrows protruding from the yellow face.

Chen Jing'an was very scared. His hands and feet were unable to move. His throat was dry and itchy, as if ants were crawling on it.

He was finally forced to move, not because he regained his courage, but because a large number of black flag soldiers began to move in the direction of the flying ellipsoid.

In order to avoid being discovered by the crowd, he could only move forward along the mountains and forests.

In the mountains, there are "Big Kun" and "Sky Dragon" climbing over the mountains and drilling through the clouds.

The rumors in the market turned out to be true.

Fortunately, the three immortals did not blame him and did not kill him instantly.

Chen Jing'an swallowed and looked back at the three giant armored soldiers.

May the gods bless you.
