Guo Qiming was born in a farm family in Wangyingcheng, Liangzhou, Simeng, in the 32nd year of Jingan's reign. He was the only son in the family.
In the winter of the 40th year of Jing'an, the changes in Liangzhou began. At that time, the five cities of Liangzhou Wangying, Lianshan, Handing, Wuping, and Molin welcomed the tax collectors of the Jin Dynasty on the Bailan Mountain (also known as Morn Mountain) trade route. Check and pass.
The tax collectors mutinied, and the Grand Duke's Army of the Principality of West Asia and the Knights of the Church ambushed their troops and cooperated with the tax collectors of the State Finance Department. They immediately destroyed five cities on the north side of Bailan Mountain, causing heavy casualties in the fallen city. Guo's father also became one of the wronged souls of West Asia's sword.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
When the five cities fell, some refugees tried to flee to Tianying City on the south side of Bailan Mountain, and Guo's mother was among them.
It was a severe winter, and under the natural dangers of Bailan Mountain, most of the refugees froze to death. Guo's mother was injured and died midway due to exhaustion. Most of the survivors were captured by the West Asian pursuers, and some minors were adopted by the Catholic Church.
That year, Guo Qiming was eight years old. Both his parents died. He was adopted by the Talis diocese of the Catholic Church. Since then, he changed his Christian name to Jacob and his nickname to Jack, which means: The Lord is merciful.
The Patriarch's Church is responsible for the adoption of Simeng orphans. The leader of the Order of Modesty Gascón is worried about the survival of the principality and the church. He also learned from the eldest prince of the Tarka Empire, Yuchu, that the Emperor of Tarka will ascend to the throne in a few years. , so he tried to create gods for the God-Emperor Church before God Emperor Taka.
However, in the twenty years before the Liangzhou Incident, all the experiments of the Modesty Knights ended in failure. Gascón used the Holy Grail as a matchmaker to capture the beasts of Bailan Mountain in an attempt to create gods, but the creatures that were born were all weird beasts. He was ferocious and violent in nature and could not be used for anything, so he was abandoned in Bailan Mountain.
Gascón was unwilling to give up, and tried using his followers as carriers. The creatures he gave birth to could not survive for a long time, and only one girl survived. Gascón was overjoyed, and the Catholic Church raised the girl as a saint of the church and placed its hope in her. Lead the church to annex the world.
However, although Saint Tilda Dark was still young, she already remembered things and had a grudge against the Catholic Church. With the guidance and help of the Tully family, and her extraordinary talents, her strength greatly increased. When she became an adult, she assumed the position of Grand Duke of the Principality of West Asia and worked closely with the Church. Completely cut off, Gascón’s plan to create a god was put on hold for the time being.
Until the Liangzhou Incident, after taking over the five cities on the Simeng border, the Modesty Knights began to use the adopted Simeng orphans as a carrier to start plans again, trying to reproduce the achievements of Saint Tilda.
Due to unknown reasons, a few Simeng orphans showed strange physiques. Although they were not as talented as Tilda, they were able to transform into strange beasts. They also obeyed the orders of the church, and were recruited into the Holy Church as training soldiers to fight.
Among them, Guo Qiming, who was eight years old at the time, was recruited by the church as a backup carrier for the third batch of artificial gods. He lived in the Talis Church and met Yang Qi (then named Olly Yang) and Yi, who were also orphans in Simeng. Xueyin (named Falena Yi at the time).
All three of them underwent Gascón's experiment to seduce spirits. Among them, Yang Qi and Yi Xueyin failed in the experiment and could not be used as carriers to succumb to spirits. Guo Qiming succeeded in the experiment and showed excellent carrier qualities and was specially trained by the church.
When they were children, the three of them often played with other West Asian children in Talis diocese. As a carrier, Guo Qiming showed animal manifestations several times. He was ridiculed by West Asian children and treated as a monster, and his character gradually became withdrawn.
Fortunately, Yang Qi and Yi Xueyin always stayed by their side, and the three of them became sworn brothers and sisters, and their love was stronger than water.
In the same year, Grand Duke Tilda, on behalf of the Grand Duke, accepted the peace talks with the King of Simeng and accepted the transfer of five cities on the Liangzhou border and other trade treaties, thus ending the war.
In the first year of Jinganwei, when Guo Qiming was in his prime, the three brothers and his sister, together with other Simeng soldiers adopted by the church, went to Simeng under the orders of the Modesty Knights and used Mingluo Danfang as a base for their activities.
Among them, Guo Qiming and Yang Qi led their men to hide in the Han Yingzong of Tianying City in Liangzhou. Yi Xueyin was still young, so they were secretly sent to the inland border island of Simeng by their two sworn brothers to avoid the disaster of war.
In the second year of Jinganwei, Guo Qiming and Yang Qi were promoted to inner disciples of Hanying Sect.
In the fourth year of Jinganwei, under the orders of Prince Han Dongwen of Simeng, the construction of Yihong Building in Tianying City officially started. Guo Qiming was ordered by Han Yingzong to escort the transportation of construction materials.
In the same year, the Catholic Church decided to intensify the conflict in Simeng in West Asia to put pressure on the Grand Duke's residence, and ordered the hidden soldiers lurking in Simeng to destroy the fortifications of Yihong Tower.
In order to rescue his compatriots and complete the mission, Guo Qiming took the initiative to reveal his animal nature and tried to seize the gods. Due to his own strength, the seduction failed, and he transformed into a beast-shaped demigod and caused a scene in Tianying City.
After Tantai Fu, the commander-in-chief of the Simeng Army Department, Yang Kai, the leader of the Hanying Sect of Simeng, and others launched a crusade, Guo Qiming and Yang Qi, along with the rest of the West Asian hidden line, died and rested under the ruins of Yihong Tower.
This was the end of Guo Qiming's life. He was twenty-four years old and had no wife or children, except for his adopted sister.

"Sister Hongdou, the needle needs to be inserted horizontally here. You can press it with your fingers in front."
In the Yingchun Palace, Xiao Hongdou sat upright, holding a red embroidered silk curtain with a shy expression on her face.
This is the homework left by Mi Niangniang a few days ago. Normally, the maids have time to complete it, but His Highness has been so busy the past few days, and Xiao Hongdou, as a maid, naturally has little leisure time.
There was no way to finish this homework, and she didn't have time to attend the classes taught by Mi Niangniang. After thinking about it, Xiao Hongdou had no choice but to ask Lu Sisi for help.
But the girl was not found in Lu Sisi's room. She only saw the little girl named Yi Chengcheng whom she brought earlier.
"Sister Sisi? Well, she should have gone to see Concubine Chi. Sister Hongdou, what's the matter?"
Yi Chengcheng asked, and Xiao Hongdou hesitated for a moment before speaking out her troubles.
So, at this moment, Yi Chengcheng sat in front of Xiao Hongdou, smiling and giving her extra lessons.
"So that's it...Little Chengzi, you are really good at teaching others."
Xiao Hongdou looked a little embarrassed. She thought she should be an older sister, but she asked her younger sister to teach her. It was really wrong.
Of course, these two girls should be considered the youngest in the Yingchun Palace. When everyone they meet wants to call them sister, and suddenly they have a sister, Xiao Hongdou naturally wants to act like a sister.
It's a pity that it is my sister who is teaching me now, which makes me feel a little embarrassed.
"Chengcheng, go at noon...Xiao Hongdou?"
The door was gently pushed open, and just as Lu Sisi was about to say something, she saw the little red bean embroidering here, and asked curiously: "What are you doing? Isn't this the homework of the past two days?"
Xiao Hongdou pursed her lips: "Yes... I was really busy the past two days, so I had to..."
"Oh, being busy is a blessing."
Lu Sisi sighed and sat next to Xiao Hongdou, and said sadly: "The busy people working in the palace are all famous people. Who doesn't know that you are the most popular in the palace now? If I were you, why would I embroider?"
Xiao Hongdou smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's okay. Isn't Sister Sisi the most liked by Concubine Chi?"
Lu Sisi pursed her lips and said, "Empress Chi likes it too... Oh, by the way, Concubine Chi gave this to me. Don't tell anyone."
As she spoke, she handed out a few medicine powders wrapped in oil paper. When Little Hongdou saw them, she immediately laughed.
Concubine Chi was a good empress, and her attendant Lu Sisi could often bring her a few medicines for her own use. The medicinal materials were not expensive, but they had miraculous effects on menstrual energy and blood.
Of course, I never mean to say anything bad about Concubine Yin...
Xiao Hongdou was folding her armor in her mind, when Lu Sisi spoke up again: "I see, the imperial kitchen is in need of manpower again this afternoon. I heard just now that the border war was won, and even the general manager may have to come to the palace."
She was talking like this, moving a hammer here and there a stick. Xiao Hongdou nodded: "Of course it would be great if you win. His Highness should also be very happy."
"Of course...it's already this hour, His Highness should be awake, right?"
Xiao Hongdou nodded and was about to say something else when she saw Yi Chengcheng staring blankly at the embroidery plate in her hand with a rather sad expression.
