Chapter 307: Another Space
"Another stone wall." Su Tang muttered, then walked towards the only man-made building in front of her.
As she got closer, Su Tang heard sounds coming from inside the stone wall.
There was actually the sound of someone talking inside, and it was the language from southern Xinjiang.
Su Tang listened for a while by the stone wall, but only heard some gossip about family matters, so she stopped listening.
Su Tang had just checked and found that her space was usable and she could bring items into the space, which gave her more protection in this illusion. Then she walked around the stone wall in one direction.
Fortunately, the stone wall was not very long. After walking for about two hours, we finally reached the corner of the stone wall.
The stone wall in front of her was no shorter than the one she had just walked through. Su Tang walked for more than an hour before she reached a wooden door.
The huge wooden door was closed and there was no guard at the entrance.
Su Tang's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the guards inside. "Who is it?"
"I'm lost."
A guard poked his head out from the top of the stone wall and found that Su Tang was alone. Then he said, "You are not from here. Where are you from?"
"I don't know." Su Tang shook her head.
After a few moments of silence, someone on the stone wall finally responded, "Wait a minute."
Then, the huge wooden door made a clicking sound, and slowly opened a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
A guard poked his head out from the crack of the door and said to Su Tang, "Come in."
Su Tang nodded and took a few quick steps into the wooden door.
Most of the buildings within the stone wall are a combination of stone and wood, and they should be rooms built using local materials.
Moreover, most of them are one-story buildings.
Su Tang had just walked along the stone wall for a while and had roughly estimated the area inside the stone wall.
This is probably a slightly larger village.
Because there were outsiders, people near the gate gathered around to check what was going on.
"Where did this man come from?"
"Who knows? This is the first time I've met an outsider."
"Hehe, it's not just you. This is the first time I've seen a stranger in a hundred years. But her clothes are very similar to ours, and she can speak our language. This is a bit strange..." An old man stood in the crowd and looked at Su Tang.
"Could it be someone's young man..."
"You mean, she has always lived outside the city? How is that possible!"
"Yes, it's very dangerous outside the city after dark. How could she live outside the city all the time..."
The news Su Tang heard from the onlookers was a little strange, but every time she came here, even if there was fog, she should be in daytime, so she didn't know the dangers those people talked about.
Forget it, let’s see where this place is first.
"Our city lord invites you, please follow me." The guard took Su Tang into the city.
She was soon taken to a small courtyard, where the guards took her and left, and the people inside the courtyard then took her back inside.
This time, the person who led her didn't even say a word. He just led the way in front. Soon, the two of them arrived outside a house, and the man stopped.
"Come in." A deep male voice came from inside the room.
Su Tang glanced at the person who led the way, but that person didn't react at all. Su Tang had no choice but to push open the door and go in alone.
There were many oil lamps lit in the wooden house, so the light was bright.
A thin man's figure was facing away from Su Tang. "Come and sit down."
The man raised his hand and motioned Su Tang to go to the empty seat in front of him.
Su Tang walked over silently.
After walking around the man's back, Su Tang finally saw his appearance clearly.
In front of me was a handsome young man with a gentle smile on his face. He pointed to the empty seat opposite again and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so young."
Su Tang raised her eyebrows and sat down calmly in front of the other person, "Do you know me?"
"I don't know him, but I left a Xuan Ling waiting for the right person."
"Is this what you left behind?" Su Tang said as she took out the black box and two black cards from the space and placed them on the low table in front of her.
"Well, these two Xuanlings were left by me for the destined ones. I gave them to two successors, one of them was responsible for poison and the other for medicine..."
As the man continued to tell the story, Su Tang also heard about the origin of the witch doctor clan in southern Xinjiang.
It turned out that the man opposite was the ancestor of the southern Xinjiang witch doctor clan. He liked to play with various insects since he was a child. As he grew older, he learned more and more about insects, and many of these insects were poisonous.
Since he came into contact with these poisonous insects, he naturally began to learn the art of detoxification, and gradually he began to learn both medical and poison knowledge.
Of course, his achievements through self-study were not so good. After discovering that he had talent in this area, his family began to help him find famous doctors from all over the country to study with.
From then on, he gradually ran out of people to teach in the field of medicine and poison, so he added insects to his medical practice and the use of poisons, forming his own school.
From then on, the ancestor of a clan of witch doctors in southern Xinjiang who were good at using poisonous insects was born.
"Later, I got tired of the life of dealing with people. After all, people are annoying, so I found two successors and passed on my skills to them..."
Listening to what this man said, Su Tang was a little curious. There are quite a few people in this city now. He said he was tired of dealing with people, but he still lives in the city.
As if he had guessed what Su Tang was thinking, the man chuckled, "No one here usually comes into contact with me. You are a special case."
Su Tang raised her eyebrows and waited for the man to continue.
"In fact, this is the only city in the world that has people. I brought all these people in. Every once in a while, I will bring in some new people."
"Where is this place?" Su Tang was a little curious. Could it be that this place was the same as Su Tang's space, where only living people could be brought in by the owner of the space?
"When I was traveling in the world, I accidentally got a jade pendant. Now the world we are in is inside the jade pendant. Originally, there were only mountains and rivers here. The people in this city were brought in by me later."
"Then how many years have you lived?" Su Tang suddenly asked.
"I don't remember." The man thought for a moment.
When he first came here, he could still calculate the time, but later he discovered that the time here was different from that in the outside world. After he brought people in here and lived here for many years, he actually forgot to calculate the time for a long time. As time went by, he naturally stopped calculating time.
The people he brought into this space were all those who had been treated by him. These people were grateful for being chosen by the witch doctors to come here. They even thought that they were chosen by the witch doctors to enter the fairyland.
After listening to the man's story, Su Tang was only slightly surprised at first when she heard about the man's space, but she didn't show any surprised expression again.
