The eldest grandson returned to the eldest grandson's mansion at an unexpected moment. People who were interested began to think about how the eldest grandson's return would change the situation, while more people chose to sit back and watch. People were very curious about how the eldest grandson's return would affect Shanghua. What kind of war will happen to Madam? The situation in Changsun Mansion was very delicate for a while.
However, the two people who were the focus of attention seemed to be aloof from the incident. For a month, they had never interacted with each other, but they were in peace with each other. On the surface, the Changsun Mansion seemed to be in harmony, and there was not as much tension as people imagined.
Of course, it is not as harmonious as people see it.
At night, a lamp was dimly lit in Mrs. Hua's pavilion, and Mrs. Hua listened to her subordinates' report inside the gauze curtain.
"Young Master Changsun will come out of his room to eat at noon every day. He will leave the house at noon and come back at midnight."
"Oh, what did you do when you left the house?" Mrs. Hua's voice came from inside the gauze curtain.
"Well... Young Master Changsun will go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to watch the dance every day. He has been doing this every day for a month." The servant leaned over to report, not daring to look up at Mrs. Hua behind the gauze curtain.
"Hongxiu Pavilion, haha...what else?" Mrs. Hua's silvery chuckle came from the other side of the gauze curtain.
"Also, Master Changsun will ask his maid Chu Li to go to the library to get books this month, but most of the books picked up are miscellaneous notes on unofficial history." The servant then reported Changsun's activities this month.
"Oh, he didn't go by himself. He did it deliberately to show me. Did he want to tell me that he went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to get books not just for cultivation?" Mrs. Hua seemed to be interested, but this sentence was not a question. People are just talking to themselves.
The servant did not dare to answer, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Madam, in my humble opinion, madam may be overly worried. From what I see now, the reason why the eldest grandson returned home is probably because the life outside is too difficult. After all, the eldest grandson The young master is just a thirteen-year-old boy, how can he endure the hardships of the slums."
"I asked you to monitor your eldest grandson. I only asked you to bring your eyes and ears, but not your brain. If you dare to make such random guesses next time, I can only make you unable to speak again." Mrs. Hua calmly said His tone seemed to be talking about ordinary things.
After hearing this, the servant was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and said, "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die..."
From the other side of the curtain, one could vaguely see Mrs. Hua's figure lying lazily in a chair with her hand on her forehead. There was no change from the beginning to the end. "Okay, get out of here."
Hearing Mrs. Hua's words, the servant felt relieved and quickly stood up and exited the room.
Mrs. Hua was the only one left in the room. At this time, Mrs. Hua sat up from her chair and said to herself: "Is this really just like this? If so, you can live for a few more days. If not, I will send you to see you earlier. 's parents."
The eldest grandson was looking at the "Old History of the Mainland" at the desk. This book was written by Liu Guang, a famous historian a thousand years ago. This book recorded the changes in the mainland since the apocalyptic war a thousand years ago. This made the eldest grandson very interested. A new understanding of this mysterious continent.
The world that the eldest grandson lives in now had a glorious name before the apocalyptic war, the Age of Peace and Prosperity.
That's right, this world was called the Peaceful Age, and is now called the Kyushu Continent.
The peaceful and prosperous age of that year was extremely glorious. The major dynasties occupied every corner of the continent. Masters from all walks of life sprung up and stood on the stage of history. Tuoba Wuji, Tang Shi, Xuan Wuji and others are still regarded as powerful even today, thousands of years later. remembered by people.
It was an era of heroes, an era of kings, and it was also an era of war.
The continuous growth of warriors has greatly stimulated the ambitions of those in power. One day, war quietly came, and warriors who used their personal force to the extreme gradually lost control of order. A devastating disaster plunged the continent into chaos.
Living for power and dying for ambition can be said to be a portrayal of the mainland at that time. But bathing in the fire did not bring new life, and destruction came quietly.
The direction of the war is gradually out of people's control. With the participation of the mainland's supreme warriors, the war has slowly reached a new level. When the first sage died in the battle, people did not wake up, but became even more crazy. The sage who died in the battle was Tang Shi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was in great prosperity at that time.
This seemed to be a catalyst that made the war intensify until the last apocalyptic war started. Almost all the sages in the mainland mobilized and fought with all their strength as if they had lost their minds.
The Venerable is so powerful that he can destroy the world, let alone all the Venerables. That battle directly shattered the continent, with more than half of the Venerable dead and wounded. Seeing that the continent was about to be destroyed, the savior appeared.
Tuoba Wuji, who had never participated in the war, single-handedly stopped the continent's destruction, sealing the southern region of the continent, where the war started, and isolating it from the rest of the world.
The mainland has since been split into nine landmasses, hence the name Kyushu. Tuoba Wuji and the surviving sages established the Bai Laohui to manage the mainland, and the sealed southern region was known as the Prison of the Beginning of Rebellion. The Prison of the Beginning of Rebellion also became the prison where the Bai Laohui later punished the guilty, and the trial The one who holds the key to the prison of chaos is Tuoba Wuji.
Since then, the mainland has been under the rule of the Elders, but about five hundred years ago, changes that occurred quietly almost ended the rule of the Elders.
Although Tuoba Wuji sealed the Prison of Beginning of Rebellion, it was difficult to drive all the culprits of the war into the Prison of Beginning of Rebellion. These survivors remained anonymous on the mainland and hid their traces, but they were killed because of Tuoba Wuji's actions. Holding a grudge in his heart, he even planned to start a prison of chaos.
More than five hundred years of forbearance and more than five hundred years of preparation broke out at that moment.
Civil strife broke out in the Bai Lao Gui. Tuoba Wuji was first attacked by a sneak attack. Later, many sages in the Bai Lao Gui joined forces to besiege him and demanded that Tuoba Wuji give up his throne and hand over the key to the prison where the chaos began.
That war allowed people to see the horror of Tuoba Wuji again.
Tuoba Wuji, the undisputed strongest man in the mainland, fought against all the sages with his own strength, but he did not fall behind. He even removed many sages from the mainland forever, but he was helpless and unable to do anything alone. In the end, he led Shi Chaos. The key to Hell disappeared into the sea of nothingness.
Later, the Tuoba family was also besieged by various clans in the mainland, and the family that once ruled the mainland disappeared.
Just when the Bai Laohui was about to collapse due to civil strife, Tuoba Wuji's apprentice Tang Si came out of seclusion.
Tang Si, who was in his prime, burst out with incredible strength and quickly quelled the civil strife. He used his iron-blooded tactics to cleanse the Elder Council, killing several venerables who provoked the civil strife, and several families were expelled from the mainland. This civil strife was quelled.
These are only recorded in the "Old History of the Mainland". It was precisely because it recorded this period of the Bai Lao Hui Rebellion that this book was listed as a banned book by the Bai Lao Hui at that time. It was also deprived of the title of official history and became an unofficial history. .
Today, the most powerful dynasty in the Kyushu Continent is undoubtedly the Tang Dynasty. Its territory covers Dongyue Prefecture, Yue Prefecture, and Qinchuan Prefecture. It is also surrounded by more than a dozen vassal states, large and small. It has a vast territory, rich resources, and strong strength. Therefore, these three The states are also collectively referred to as Zhongzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the north was called Bianmo and Beishazhou. The environment in the border desert is relatively harsh, with constant wind and sand all year round, and the ruling forces there are also complicated. The most numerous are various gangs. People jokingly say that the gangs in the north are as numerous as the wind and sand in the border desert. Among the many gangs, the most powerful ones are the Wu family and the Mandolin clan.
There are three large states in the west of the continent, known as the Western Magic Kingdom. They have relatively many forces, including powerful families, ancient and mysterious tribes, and countries with developed warlocks. These forces have formed two major alliances: magic. Alliance and Warlock Alliance.
The area where the eldest grandson is now is the Southern Barbarian State, known as the Southern Territory. Although it is jokingly called the barbarian land, it was the real center of the world before the end of the world. After the Doomsday War, the Southern Territory became the state closest to the Prison of Beginning Rebellion. Although there was only one state, there were many fragmented inland areas, and Lishan City was one of them.
For a long time after the Doomsday War, the Southern Territory was a free land without an owner. Because of the war, the originally rich Southern Territory became a barren land. To the south of the Southern Territory is the Prison of Beginning Rebellion. Although it is sealed, there are countless floating inland areas around it. These broken inland areas have buried the lifetime wealth of many strong men before the end of the world. People living in the Southern Realm had to venture into these interiors in search of wealth in order to make a living. Mercenary groups were also born. With the increase of mercenary groups, mercenary associations also came into being. The Southern Territory has welcomed its new overlord, the Southern Alliance.
Chaos eventually gave birth to order.
These are the eight major states in the mainland, and the last state is Pingling Prefecture where the Bai Laohui is located.
Pingling Prefecture is the well-deserved core of the mainland, not only because of the Bai Laohui, but also because all the sages in the mainland live in seclusion in Pingling Prefecture. As for why he lived in seclusion, it was because Tuoba Wuji collaborated with all the venerables to establish the Bai Lao Association to manage the mainland. At the same time, it also restrained the venerables from all walks of life. The method of restraint was to "semitate" the venerables.
How to live in seclusion?
That is to seal the entire Pingling Prefecture in the void like the prison of the First Rebellion.
No one knows where Pingling Prefecture is located, and only when major changes occur on the mainland or a new venerable appears, the Bai Laohui will appear in Pingling Prefecture and take charge of the overall situation.
Today's nine major states are separated by a sea of nothingness, and each major state has a mountain range that is like a lifeline. It is these mountains that connect the fragmented continent, making the entire continent look fragile but tenacious.
…
Changsun closed the "Old History of Mainland China" in his hand and couldn't calm down for a long time. What kind of continent is this? It is beyond Zhangsun's imagination that a person's force can be exerted to such an extent.
In his previous life, the eldest grandson had served as a special soldier, and his skills were among the best in the army at that time, but in this world he was so insignificant. Now the eldest grandson understands what it means that there are mountains beyond the mountains.
After so many days of getting to know each other, Changsun gradually began to look forward to this world where force prevailed, and he didn't know what was waiting for him on the road ahead.
