In the process of getting along with Yi Zhuxia, Zhang Beichen never said that he was leaving here. He only revealed from time to time his and King Han's ambitions to unify the world, end the conflicts in troubled times, and restore peace to the world.
Finally, one day, Yi Zhuxia couldn't bear it anymore and asked proactively: "Zhang Beichen, don't you want to leave here?"
"Of course I do." Zhang Beichen smiled slightly, "No one likes to live in a prison."
"Then why don't you ask Gu to help you escape?" Yi Zhuxia asked.
Zhang Beichen shook his head and said: "If I invite you, I will definitely hurt you. As a friend, I really don't want you to suffer like this. Besides, even if I leave now, what's the use?"
"I can feel that the yin energy in the imperial capital is getting stronger and stronger. The number of yin soldiers must be increasing every year. Sooner or later, Yi Xuandong's yin soldiers will conquer the world. Even if I go out, I will still be no match for her!"
Zhang Beichen did want to escape at first, but now he changed his mind. He wanted to know even more how Yi Xuandong created those Yin soldiers and what he was thinking.
Mentioning this, Yi Zhuxia also looked worried and said: "Yi Xuandong has gone crazy. She insists on conquering the world, but all living people have been killed by Yin soldiers. What is the difference between such a world and a ghost realm? "
In comparison, Yi Zhuxia's nature is much kinder, and she does not have any big ambitions.
Zhang Beichen took the opportunity and said: "Zhu Xia, you don't want to live in a ghost town forever, right?"
"Take me to see it, maybe we can crack it!"
Yi Zhuxia was hesitant. If Yi Xuandong knew that his soul was being tortured by her, Zhang Beichen would definitely not survive!
Zhang Beichen continued: "If you don't want to, forget it. We will continue to stay in this prison and this ghost town. Everything in the world has nothing to do with us."
Yi Zhuxia bit her red lips and whispered: "Father once taught Gu that he should care about the world. All the people of Li are Gu's subjects. Gu is not a competent emperor, but he cannot just watch Yi Xuandong become what he is. disaster!"
As she said this, her eyes gradually became firm.
"Zhang Beichen, come with me!" Yi Zhuxia took Zhang Beichen's hand and left the prison.
As the two of them walked forward, Zhang Beichen saw that there were no more living people in the city.
When he was first imprisoned, there were still many living people in the imperial city, and those people were all residents of the city or members of the royal family.
Now there are only Yin soldiers left in the city, and there are walking corpses everywhere. It has really turned into a Yin city!
When all the Yin soldiers saw Yi Zhuxia, they knelt on the ground respectfully and did not dare to get up until she left.
Yi Zhuxia took Zhang Beichen to an altar in the city.
This is an altar for worshiping heaven. On the altar, there are sacrifices such as humans and animals placed to worship a certain god.
When Zhang Beichen saw this familiar scene, he immediately thought of Huang Tian. It was most likely Huang Tian who was being sacrificed!
Outside the altar, there are large pits filled with bones. This is where the Yin soldiers were resurrected.
Zhang Beichen frowned and said, "Why are there so many corpses?"
Yi Zhuxia's eyes were complicated and he said: "The Yi Dynasty has been using human sacrifice and human sacrifice since the founding of the country. Any sacrifice must be a living sacrifice! Over the years, I don't know how many people have been sacrificed!"
Zhang Beichen thought about it. He remembered historical records that Dayi often held large-scale ceremonies to worship the heavens, and at least ten thousand people were used to sacrifice each time!
After years of accumulation, there are more than a million dead souls under this altar?
In fact, it was not until around the time that Zhang Beichen traveled through time that various countries abolished human sacrifice and human sacrifice.
Zhang Beichen saw that there was a formation on the altar. Through the formation, these corpses were slowly transformed into Yin soldiers.
Those who have just become Yin soldiers are just ordinary walking zombies.
After a long time, I can still practice here, absorb the Yin Qi, and become stronger.
If you give them time, they will definitely corrode the world!
Zhang Beichen didn't hesitate at all and took action directly, trying to destroy the formation.
At this moment, a jade hand grabbed Zhang Beichen's arm.
Zhang Beichen looked at Yi Zhuxia suspiciously, and was about to ask, but found that Yi Zhuxia's eyes had become cold, and his whole temperament was completely different.
He was shocked, this was not Yi Zhuxia! It's Yi Xuandong!
"You are so brave!" Yi Xuandong said in a cold voice, "If you destroy the sacrifice, you should be punished with death!"
There are many types of punishments in Dayi, and the capital punishment is even more cruel, such as skinning, bone digging, eyeball gouging, scalp filling with lead, etc.
In comparison, quartering the body with five horses was considered a light punishment.
Zhang Beichen knew that he couldn't break away from her, so he simply said: "Your Majesty, even if you conquer the world with these Yin soldiers, all you will get is a ghost realm, so what's the point? Can you feel happy by ruling these walking dead? ?”
"Hmph!" Yi Xuandong let go of his hand and said: "Zhang Beichen, you are just an ordinary person, how can you know the king's thoughts? All living beings, only a hundred years old, are nothing more than mayflies to the world; and the emperor is precious As the son of God, you should be a god and live forever!"
"You committed a capital crime today, and you should have been sentenced to death. But the two traitors, Marquis of Han and Marquis of Wei, seem to be very interested in you and even sent troops to attack the imperial capital."
"In that case, keeping you is still somewhat useful."
Yi Xuandong said: "Zhang Beichen, Gu now appoints you as the Taishi Ling of the Great Yi Dynasty, responsible for recording the major events of the dynasty. From today on, you will see with your own eyes how Gu unified the world and established unparalleled achievements. "
After saying that, Yi Xuandong sealed Zhang Beichen's cultivation level again. At the same time, an official seal emitting black energy appeared on his body.
After becoming an official of the Great Yi, the Yin soldiers also took the initiative to salute him and would not be hostile to him.
Yi Xuandong left.
Zhang Beichen never expected that he would become the Taishi Ling of the Great Yi.
"Forget it, let's make peace with it now. Why don't we take this opportunity to learn about the Big Yi. Even if the simulation fails this time, we can still accumulate experience for next time." Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
After becoming Taishi Ling, he could enter and leave the palace freely.
Zhang Beichen swaggered into the palace, and no one came to care about him. As for Yi Xuandong, I don't know where he went.
He first walked around the palace. To be honest, the imperial city looked grand on the outside, but the palace was a bit shabby. Except for some very heavy bronze ritual vessels, other gold and jade were basically gone.
Some were stolen, some were sold because they were too poor, or given to princes to save face.
Fortunately, the history books of the Great Yi are still there.
Zhang Beichen simply began to devote himself to reading to understand the history of Dayi.
The first is Yi Xuandong's previous generation.
The previous Emperor of Dayi, named Yi Jiuyang, was born with Yin and Yang eyes and was proficient in the art of Yin and Yang.
It is worth mentioning that the earliest inheritance of the Yin Yang family among hundreds of schools of thought came from the royal family of Dayi.
When Yi Jiuyang ascended the throne, the Great Yi Dynasty had already declined. But the princes still obeyed the emperor on the surface, at least they would show up.
Yi Jiuyang practiced the Tao of Yin and Yang and reached the Holy Realm at the age of eighteen. In his middle age, he even broke through to the Imperial Realm, unparalleled in the world!
According to historical records, Yi Jiuyang was not only diligent in cultivation, but also diligent in politics. The princes and kings respected him very much.
It's a pity that Yi Jiuyang was unlucky. When he was in his prime, he encountered the invasion of the demon army. Yi Jiuyang fought with the demon emperor and eventually fell and was buried in the emperor's mausoleum.
Yi Jiuyang had a son and a daughter. The eldest son Yi Zang, who was proficient in Taoism, also died in that battle; his daughter Yi Zhuxia inherited the throne of emperor.
From then on, the Great Change existed in name only, and the princes were too lazy to do anything about it.
Zhang Beichen noticed that at this time, the name recorded in the history books was Yi Zhuxia, not Yi Xuandong.
Zhang Beichen continued to read, and although the things recorded in the history books were somewhat different from the documents from various countries, they were almost the same.
There is only one very strange thing, the record of the founding emperor of Dayi is missing!
There is not a word on all the bamboo slips!
You know, every dynasty will focus on recording the hardships or justice during the founding of the country to show its orthodox status!
But there is no record in the history books of the Great Yi Dynasty.
"Is it lost? But for such an important thing, it should be made up, right?" Zhang Beichen couldn't find the answer for a while.
…
In the days when Zhang Beichen was Taishi Ling.
Wei and South Korea have already sent troops to the capital of Dayi.
Wei Yao originally sent someone to ask Yi Xuandong for help, but he didn't expect that Yi Xuandong didn't discuss it at all and just let the Yin soldiers eat his envoy!
Wei Yao was furious and asked Han Mengshu to send troops. Han Mengshu not only agreed, but also sent troops himself.
Now, 200,000 Wei troops, 200,000 Korean troops, and Chen Bing are outside the Imperial Capital of Dayi!
"Taishi Ling, it seems you are quite popular!" Yi Xuandong stood on the city wall and chuckled.
Zhang Beichen said: "Your Majesty, you should obey the destiny and surrender to Kaicheng!"
"Do you think Gu is no match for them?" Yi Xuandong said disdainfully, "You want to capture the imperial capital with only 400,000 troops? You are wishful thinking!"
"Take out your pen and write it down for me. On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, I will annihilate 400,000 rebels in the Great Yi Dynasty!"
As he spoke, Yi Xuandong waved his sleeves, and the Yin soldiers rushed out of the city and fought with the armies of Wei and Han.
The Wei army and the Han army have both made preparations. The army is equipped with many magic weapons to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts, which can cause a lot of damage to the Yin soldiers.
However, when Yi Xuandong took action, the generals of both armies realized that they had underestimated the enemy!
Yi Xuandong made a quick seal with his hands, and saw the ground begin to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the soldiers who came into contact were instantly frozen into ice!
"Not good!" Pang Ming, the leading Wei army general, tried to break the formation. Yi Xuandong raised an onion finger and pointed to the sky!
I saw a huge ice sword falling from the sky and slashing at Pang Ming.
Pang Ming had also reached the Holy Realm at this time, and was blessed by the military formation, but he had no ability to fight back in front of this ice sword, and half of his body was cut off directly, and he could not die anymore!
The general of the Korean army at this time was Tian E, the general who had surrendered to Qi, and he had also reached the holy realm.
Seeing that Pang Ming was killed with one blow, Tian E wanted to lead his troops to evacuate, but Yi Xuandong condensed another ice phoenix. The ice phoenix spit out a stream of cold air to freeze Tian E and the surrounding soldiers, and then froze them. Swallow it in one gulp!
In this way, the generals of both armies were killed! There is no way to fight back!
The remaining soldiers lost their generals and were no match for the Yin soldiers. All the soldiers were slaughtered!
Even though they knelt down and begged for mercy, hoping that Yi Xuandong would let them go, Yi Xuandong ignored them completely.
Hearing the soldiers' screams and seeing their painful struggles, a smile appeared on her peerless face. It wasn't until all 400,000 people were killed that Yi Xuandong burst out laughing!
Her expression was charming and her voice was unrestrained, as if she was happy from the bottom of her heart!
Zhang Beichen only felt terrible. He could feel that this woman felt happy from the bottom of her heart!
She is just like those monsters, able to feed on human pain!
Under the city, there were countless severed limbs and corpses, as well as countless terrifying Yin soldiers.
However, Yi Xuandong felt extremely happy and said to Zhang Beichen: "Write down everything in Taishi's order. By the way, can you paint? If such a beautiful scene can be painted and carved on a bronze ritual vessel, then Even more beautiful!”
"I have seen many monarchs, and a complete tyrant like you is still the first!" Zhang Beichen said with emotion.
He has seen a lot of cruel and ruthless monarchs, but most of those monarchs do it to achieve their own goals, but simply to kill people for pleasure!
Only Yi Xuandong can take pleasure in it. To describe her as a tyrant is not an exaggeration at all!
"Really? Gu is a tyrant?" Yi Xuandong was not angry and said: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. When Gu regains control of the world, the people of the world will call him the Holy King!"
After saying that, Yi Xuandong ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and at the same time sacrificed the corpses of those soldiers and transformed them into Yin soldiers.
Zhang Beichen had some doubts in his heart. With her strength, she could conquer South Korea, Wei or Chu at this time.
Why doesn't she go out?
"Could it be that she can't leave the imperial capital at this time?" Zhang Beichen thought of a possibility.
Yi Xuandong's attack range was always around the imperial capital.
Yi Zhuxia also said that she could not leave the imperial capital.
Zhang Beichen continued to stay in the palace, and he began to become more bold, trying to discover Yi Xuandong's secret.
He found that Yi Xuandong spent most of his time practicing alone in the palace. At this time, he naturally couldn't get close.
In addition, Yi Xuandong also went to two places, one was the altar to check the transformation of Yin soldiers; the second was the imperial mausoleum, but not to supervise her own imperial mausoleum, but to her father Yi Jiuyang of the imperial mausoleum.
"Does a tyrant like her miss her parents?" Zhang Beichen wondered. If it was Yi Zhuxia, it wouldn't be surprising.
But since Yi Xuandong discovered that he had a close relationship with Yi Zhuxia, Yi Zhuxia never appeared again.
Zhang Beichen wrote down his doubts.
He stayed in the Imperial Capital of Dayi for another half a year. The number of Yin soldiers in the Imperial Capital was increasing, and Yi Xuandong's aura became stronger and stronger.
Zhang Beichen can feel that if this continues, Yi Xuandong may leave the imperial capital!
On this day, Zhang Beichen was reading books in the palace when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. The entire imperial capital was shaking, and the negative energy that shrouded the imperial capital was almost shaken away!
"Who is disturbing Gu Xiuxiang?" Yi Xuandong was furious and flew up to the sky to see what happened.
