"My generation likes to learn swords, and lived in the cold pool for ten years..."
The crystal water drops fell, reflecting the frightened face of this side general because of his awakening.
…
The straightness and sharpness of the black lake water is gradually weakened by the riverbed along the way, and the water flow of the lakes formed by the melted glaciers in the mountains has become no different. Even the strange black color has disappeared naturally, and it has become absolutely pure. .
The terrain became more and more gentle, the snow line disappeared, and a large frozen wasteland appeared.
This is a pasture in early summer, but at this time there is no grass, and the cattle and sheep rely on the hay prepared in summer.
The more difficult the living environment is, simply satisfying the minimum needs of survival, the more reverence for the world, and the more meticulous the observation of the surrounding changes.
A herdsman on the fringe of his flock fixed his eyes on the sky above a stream in the distance for a long time.
He is an ordinary herdsman. The skin on his face is like dry mulberry bark. Due to the sun exposure and severe cold on the plateau, he has turned into a unique sauce purple color, accompanied by many traces of frostbite.
The vulture group hovered above the sky he was looking at. Those vultures hovered for a long time, but they seemed to be afraid and did not fall.
Vultures are also like fetishes to the herdsmen in these wastelands. When they appear in large numbers, they are accompanied by the aging and death of the creatures.
However, the current scene is too unusual for him.
First of all, he can be sure that none of his flocks and cattle has lost any cattle or sheep. It stands to reason that in this season, there cannot be a death atmosphere that attracts a large number of vultures in that place.
The most important thing is that the vultures will only appear quietly when the creatures are really on the verge of death, and they have a keen perception of death that surpasses all other creatures. When the vultures arrive, the dying creatures will die quickly, and then the vultures will They would swarm down, devouring the flesh and blood. In the end, the bloody breath of these vultures when they tore their prey would attract the pack of jackals in the distance, and finally bite the bones into pieces.
The vulture hovers around for a long time, but never falls, which is a different phase.
The herdsman became a little nervous, reverently rolled the rosary in his hand, yelled a few times, and called the two sons who were turning the hay, and the three rode towards that place on horseback.
Soon they let out a cry of terror.
The reason for the vulture circling was that there was a dead body on the bank of the stream.
The corpse should be a young boy, but it doesn't seem to belong to their world at all. Some of the remaining clothes on his body look extremely luxurious. The most terrifying thing is that there are many red lines on the boy's body. Those lines It looked like a scar, but it was extremely straight, deep into the body, and what was even more frightening was that there seemed to be some kind of terrifying aura remaining in those red lines.
This kind of breath makes those vultures keep hovering and dare not fall down.
For these herdsmen, this is definitely a terrible omen, or a reminder from the gods, so the three herdsmen were extremely panicked, two stayed far away to wait for the corpse, while the other Run to the distance at the fastest speed, and tell the leader and wizard of the tribe the news.
Going further south, this wasteland is still vast and sparsely populated, but there are some cities after all.
The most majestic one occupies the entire empty space of the mountain, densely packed with red and white palaces on the top of the mountain, and bungalows piled up with loess at the foot of the mountain.
This is the imperial city of Donghu.
Prior to this, a drastic change had taken place in Donghu's imperial city.
An old monk who came with a staff in his hand washed the imperial city with blood, and went straight into the deepest part of the palace alone, killing Emperor Donghu.
Then the prince Yelu Canglang, who had been expelled from Donghu, was welcomed back from the border, took over the throne of Donghu, and triggered a more brutal bloodbath.
It's just that the brutal bloodbath was only aimed at those monks who were previously loyal to Emperor Donghu and cruelly enslaved the serfs in the depths of the imperial city.
Among those monks, the group with the highest cultivation level had been directly killed by the old monk, and the remaining monks had almost no ability to resist.
The new emperor, Yelu Canglang, followed Changling’s reform almost according to local conditions, and promulgated the imperial decree. As long as one of the serfs in a family can become a warrior recognized by the imperial city, all the serfs in the family can be reborn and freed. , completely get rid of the identity of serfs, and can own their own land.
To become a recognized samurai does not necessarily require sufficient force, but sufficient courage.
This is hope.
The situation of serfs in Donghu is far more difficult than that of ordinary people in Changling in the past. Not only their wives, children, and even their own lives do not belong to them, they can be taken by nobles at any time. Overhead was the shadow of the old monk killing directly, so the reform of Donghu new emperor Yelu Canglang did not cause a strong backlash at all, but quickly won the fanatical support of all the serfs. This sentiment was even like faith.
It is difficult to explain the matter of belief. Donghu has a vast land and few people, and the dissemination of information is more difficult than any other dynasty. Huang Yelu Canglang has already become a god and Buddha sent by the gods to save them.
But at the same time, it is also belief that deals with belief. Those powerful and powerful people who were suppressed also fabricated many ominous omens to spread the reform of the new emperor Yelu Canglang and offended the gods.
Out of true love and fanatical support for the new emperor, fearing that this strange corpse was some kind of ominous sign brought by God, this corpse was taken care of more properly by the herdsmen of the most marginal tribe in Donghu After getting up, the news reached Donghu Palace at a speed that even the army could hardly imagine.
A dozen or so practitioners rushed there quickly, among them were Yelu Canglang's confidantes, his lieutenants in the army, and master practitioners of the Seven Realms.
These practitioners easily judged the time of death of the corpse and the identity of the practitioner, and saw that the red lines on the body were traces left after a shocking sword intent cut through the body. It will appear there, and why the sword intent in the body has not been broken into pieces, etc., but it is completely incomprehensible.
Even the masters of the seven realms can hardly understand, this matter is even more unusual.
…
"A boy of a different race, who just died, the thin and straight sword thread running through his whole body..."
The military information was produced in great detail, and even the physical characteristics of the boy were described, and even drawings were used.
It's just still incomprehensible.
"According to the piece of clothing, it should be related to your Great Qin, but how could the people of Qin go to such a barren land?"
In Wushi's tent, the old lady looked at Ding Ning and asked with a frown as she looked at the military information conveyed by Donghu.
As time goes by, more and more definite clues prove that Ding Ning's deduction is correct. When the ice and snow melt in spring, Qin will use troops against Chu. So for her, it is natural to link these two things together.
It's just that that place doesn't seem to have any impact on the situation in Donghu, and it's impossible for there to be any conspiracy that can absolutely prevent Qin and Chu from fighting.
"Some things are not that complicated, especially when there is a breakthrough, no other associations will be made."
Ding Ning looked at her and said, "Although the news about Changling hasn't come out yet, I think the past events brought up before coming here have had an effect. An Baoshi is dead."
"An Baoshi?" The old woman thought she heard it wrong.
"The physical appearance of this military portrait is very similar to that of An Baoshi. I have seen An Baoshi before." Ding Ning said directly.
The old woman said in a daze, "Ran'an bouldering is in Changling, thousands of miles away from there."
"Lingxu Sword Sect has a sword washing pool. The water in the sword washing pool comes from the sword intent tempered by the Void Realm. The Void Realm was left by a great master when the Lingxu Sword Sect was established. It is equivalent to hard water. Shengsheng used his sword intent to open up a passage leading to a certain place of heaven and earth vitality."
Ding Ning looked at the old woman, and slowly said: "Before, no one knew where the Void Realm communicated."
The old woman finally understood, and said in shock: "You mean, the void realm of Lingxu Sword Gate communicates with the land on the other side of Donghu?"
Ding Ning nodded, and said: "As long as the news from Changling arrives, if An Baoshi finally joins the Void Realm and wants to escape from the Void Realm, there will be no doubts."
The old woman calmed down, sighed with emotion and remained silent.
Some things will remain forever in the puzzle, just don't happen to meet the kind of people with terrible insights.
In her opinion, Ding Ning was able to easily deduce such a seemingly completely unconnected or even impossible event, not because he had met An Baoshi, but because he had such a terrifying insight.
Ding Ning also fell silent.
His breathing was slightly heavier than usual.
Because only very few people know that the reason why the Void Realm can be achieved is because the grand master of the Lingxu Sword Sect has been to that mysterious place and left his natal sword there.
His natal sword and the magic circle in the sword hall of Lingxu Sword Gate echoed each other, and finally formed a stable void environment.
But now, Ding Ning just lacked a sword.
The last flower and the broken sword are more because of nostalgia.
And finally facing Yuan Wu and Zheng Xiu, he must have a sword that is strong enough to bear and withstand his future sword intent.
He has never easily chosen a sword that will be his natal sword in the future, because he must be extremely cautious, and there is no possibility of failure.
After the continuation of the Heavenly God Art, in his plan, it was Chun Zhichu, to find such a powerful enough sword.
Chu Qi is the best in the world.
But now, this sword appeared out of his plan.
Some things are accidental and accidental.
It's just that it may be one of the countless possibilities that have been circling in my mind for a long time.
