Ying Zheng rode an ordinary war horse to the mountain pass. Touman was already waiting here with all the Huns.
"King Qin, we are ready." Touman's voice was loud and clear, seeming to boost morale.
Although the battle was defeated, we could not go back in despair.
Ying Zheng got off his horse, came to Touman, and said solemnly: "Touman Shanyu, I hope you will keep your promise, and I also hope that the alliance between our two countries will be strong."
Touman patted his chest and said, "I, the Great Chanyu, must keep my word. Don't you have a rule called blood alliance in the Central Plains?"
"Haha, it's an alliance based on blood." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, blood is an alliance." Tou Man said.
"Okay, today we will make a blood alliance." Ying Zheng turned around and ordered the blood wine to be brought.
Soon, the blood wine was brought to the two of them, but Touman asked doubtfully: "What kind of blood is this?"
"Of course it's sheep blood." Ying Zheng said.
Touman poured the blood wine on the ground with disdain, and said at the same time: "We Huns swore an oath not to drink sheep's blood, but to drink our own blood."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, smiled and poured down his bowl of blood wine, and then ordered two more bowls of sake.
Touman took out the dagger he carried with him first, pricked his finger, and squeezed a few drops of warm blood into the wine bowl.
Ying Zheng also dropped blood into the wine bowl.
The two muttered a few more words, then toasted each other with blood wine and drank it down at the same time.
Touman threw the wine bowl and raised his voice and said: "From now on, the Xiongnu and the Qin Dynasty have concluded an alliance. The two of us are brothers. From now on, the Qin Dynasty will be useful to the Xiongnu. Brother, you can speak."
Regarding Touman's statement, Ying Zheng readily accepted: "If my brother needs anything from Da Qin in the future, I will always give him orders."
The two men looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Farewell!" Touman got on his horse.
"Take care!" Ying Zheng also didn't talk nonsense.
Wang Jian's army began to move back, clearing the way to the mountain pass.
Touman led the Xiongnu warriors on their war horses, divided them into two columns, and walked out of the mountain pass one after another.
The eyes of these Hun warriors were full of awe, and their hostility was basically gone.
After walking for a long time, all the Huns' troops came out of the mountain pass.
Wang Jian sent another team to escort them for a long distance, firstly to see off the guests, and secondly to prevent any changes on the way.
At present, the hidden danger in the north has been temporarily relieved, which also provides an effective guarantee for future unification.
Back at the main tent, Ying Zheng served a table of food and wine, and chatted with Ji Fa while eating. After all, he had not heard enough stories.
Ji Fa continued to narrate: "The Dragon Clan caught the God Clan off guard. Everyone tried their best to escort Pangu to escape from Jiuyou. In order to cover their retreat, Hou Yi led his tribe to block the rear."
"The Dragon Clan knew that Hou Yi was the god who created the little star Shaoyang, and would be useful in the future, so they did not kill him, but just controlled him and his clan members."
"Water God Gonggong was in charge of the reclamation project, so he was familiar with the passage. Under his leadership, Pangu and others barely escaped."
"Pangu, who returned to the Moon Palace, prepared to launch a massive attack on the dragon clan to rescue the imprisoned gods, and also prepared Jiuyou's ultimate self-destruction mode."
"Of course the Dragon Clan knew the consequences of a complete falling out between the two sides, so they sent Qingluan, who is very friendly with the God Clan, to sue for peace."
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he asked, "Did Ancestor Pangu agree?"
Ji Fa smiled and said: "If
If the God Clan and the Dragon Clan completely go to war, will there still be this land under our feet? "
Ying Zheng chuckled, scratched his head, and asked, "What happened next?"
Ji Fa said: "The main purpose of Pangu ancestors is to save people. Although it is not easy to transform the planet, as long as there are people, it can be transformed anywhere. But the problem is that if we attack rashly, it is likely to affect the detained companions."
"The Dragon Clan may have calculated this accurately, so they came to sue for peace, and said that the reason why the Dragon Clan launched the attack was not to kill the God Clan, but to force Pangu to give up Jiuyou to them, because Jiuyou has a constant temperature Environment, the sentient beings of the Egg Clan can no longer suffer from hibernation."
"The underlord who proposed a forceful attack on the Dragon Clan was also punished by the Dragon Clan. He has been carrying a stone tablet for generations. On that stone tablet is the reconciliation agreement between the God Clan and the Dragon Clan, and all the captured God Clan have also been treated."
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and asked: "Is the Dragon Clan sincere or does it have another conspiracy?"
Ji Fa said: "Yes, many gods also had this doubt at that time, fearing that the dragons would betray their trust again."
"However, Ancestor Pangu still chose to trust the Dragon Clan again. After all, this was the most effective way to rescue the captives, so he agreed with the other party to hold peace talks on the surface of the land."
"Both sides came prepared this time, and of course they couldn't act rashly. The captured Hou Yi was also brought here. As expected, he was fine."
"The main request of the Dragon Clan is to surrender Jiuyou to them, and to hand over the Sky-Opening Ax and the Book of Mountains and Seas that control the natural source of power to them."
"Pangu said that Jiuyou can be transferred, but the surface of the earth must be controlled by the gods, and the sky-opening ax cannot be handed over to them. As for the Book of Mountains and Seas, a copy can be given to the dragon clan."
"Both sides were in a stalemate, and each had their own bottom line. The final decision was to set a balance."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng had already guessed a rough idea, but he still asked: "What kind of balance is it?"
Ji Fa explained: "Both parties have decided to take a step back. All within the Nine Netherworld are controlled by the Dragon Clan, and the God Clan is not allowed to take a step forward without permission. And no Egg Clan creatures are allowed to exist in the Moon Palace."
"As for the surface of the star, that is, the land beneath our feet, ordinary birds and beasts and ordinary humans coexist."
"It's okay for birds, beasts, fish and insects. There are many ordinary ethnic groups, but the Gods are different. The Gods need to send out a large number of babies, and do not activate their divinity, and let them live on the surface in the most ordinary physical state. Survive."
"How can a god who is a parent be willing to part with this?"
Ying Zheng interjected: "Yes, even parents can't bear to part with it."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a twitch in his heart, just because he had just sent his own flesh and blood to the Xiang family of Chu State not long ago.
Ji Fa nodded and continued: "In order to rescue the people, Pangu made a decision to take these babies to live on the ground himself, so as to dispel the concerns of the people of the Gods and hold the Sky-Opening Ax in his own hands. .”
"In this way, the God Clan and the Dragon Clan finally reached an agreement, and the two sides engraved the new contract on the stone tablet carried by Ba Xia. The Dragon Clan also released the captured God Clan, and then let Jin Wu be in charge of Shaoyang, and Xuanwu be in charge of "Mountains and Seas" Sutra", sealing the Nine Netherworlds."
"As for Ancestor Pangu, he handed over his power to his son Taigu, and he kept his promise and brought a large number of babies to the ground. The habitat they chose is exactly where the grassland is now."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is how the ancient civilization of the grassland was established. So the so-called 'ancient' are actually the descendants of the 'ancient', right?"
"Not bad." Ji Fa nodded slightly and said, "
The Pangu lineage takes "Gu" as its surname. The ancient, ancient, and ancient times we know are actually the names of the leaders of the gods. "
"What happened next?" Ying Zheng asked next, "Did Ancestor Pangu encounter another plot by the Dragon Clan?"
Ji Fa shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that the change in the living environment shortened Pangu's life a lot. He raised several generations of children and established a preliminary civilization. In his later years, He often told stories to children, such as 'Hou Yi shot the sun', 'Chang'e flew to the moon', 'Gong Gong created the sea', etc., which were all handed down from that time."
"The gods in the Moon Palace saw that Pangu was aging quickly, and they all persuaded him to go back. But Pangu was reluctant to leave these children, the civilization he had worked so hard to build, and the planet he had transformed with his own hands. Moreover, if he really left, Well, the Dragon Clan may do something excessive in the name of the God Clan breaking the covenant."
"Maybe Ancestor Pangu truly felt the joy of creation at that time and decided to bury his body in Jiuyou."
"The female leader of a tribe in the God Clan was called Gaia. She always loved Pangu, so she accompanied Pangu to Jiuyou with Hou Yi and others, and completed the last journey."
"Hou Yi followed Pangu's wishes, placed the Sky-Opening Ax next to Pangu, and sealed it."
"Later, Gaia decided to inherit Pangu's will, so she also selected a group of babies from her ethnic group and re-established a Western civilization in the west of the continent. She was also called the Mother of the Earth by the humans there."
"At this point, Pangu's era is over, and the gods and dragons have truly reached a balance."
"This is what I know, the story about Pangu's ancestors. It is precisely because of him that we exist and we appear here."
After telling Ying Zheng the story of Pangu in one breath, Ji Fa seemed to be thirsty, so he took a big sip of wine and then started eating.
Ying Zheng held the chopsticks in his hand, but he was in a daze, thinking about the story about Pangu.
It turns out that this is the truth that created the world.
It turns out that the land beneath my feet has actually been transformed.
It turns out that all of them are descendants of the God Clan and were test subjects for the peace talks with the Dragon Clan.
However, thanks to the struggle between the gods and dragons, humans can survive and develop on the ground.
Nowadays, the gods and dragons only exist in myths and stories known to ordinary people.
After thinking for an unknown amount of time, Ying Zheng asked again: "Master, what happened next?"
Ji Fa didn't stop talking and said angrily: "You're not letting anyone eat. Hurry up and eat your fill. Then leave the village and head to the Kingdom of Zhao. Your Princess Hu Yu is still waiting. Let's talk on the way if you have anything to say."
Ying Zheng stuck out his tongue, gave the order to go down to the camp and set off, and then immersed himself in eating.
In order to avoid the misunderstanding of the Zhao army, Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian to return to Qin from the border with the army, while he took Qiang Yu and Suolin, as well as three thousand former "our troops" to follow Li Mu to Handan, the capital of Zhao.
Looking at the former "our army", Ying Zheng felt quite emotional. Since there is no more "our weapon", it is inappropriate to call it "our army" anymore.
Ying Zheng announced that from now on, the "our army" will be officially renamed as the "Hu Ben Army". Its functions will be superior to those of the Forbidden Army, and it will still be commanded by the state captain Cao Liao.
After making arrangements for the return trip, Ying Zheng got into Ji Fa's car.
"Master, I gave my blood-earned horse to Yu Touman, the great Dan. I can only make do with you for a while." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Ji Fa: "..."
This is another story to listen to.
