The night is dark.
Suzaku and Soaring Snake landed in the direction of Lelang County in later generations.
Compared with the land of China, it is a small country with a small area and undulating mountains. There is not enough arable land to improve people's livelihood.
The two souls floated in the air, and when they looked down from the clouds, they saw that an area the size of a county was splashed with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Huo Qubing had been on the battlefield for a long time and was used to seeing life and death, but he was still shocked by the sight before him.
Within the scope of its small kingdom, there are seven or eight cities.
Seen from the air, these cities have become dead places, with not a single person walking around in the city.
The top of the city was filled with blood, death, and resentment, as if it had just experienced a great battle and the city had been massacred.
Huo Qubing was a soldier who cultivated a yin body. When his soul left his body, he could see ghosts and gods. Then he saw countless wronged souls gathering in the blood.
Too many people died, and the yin energy lingered in the air, creating a horrific scene in front of us.
Countless people were unwilling to die and did not want to die, but died suddenly.
Their souls turn into obsessions, and they gather in the place where they lived and refuse to leave. They are called innocent souls.
It is usually possible to appear on the battlefield after a big war.
At this moment, above these cities, in the huge balls of blood, thousands of faces, men, women, old and young, appeared alternately among them.
Countless faces struggled and roared, and the accumulated resentment spread out like a substance, covering the whole city.
The sky was frozen by this breath of resentment.
Under the moonlight, the city seemed to be filled with mist, and it was bone-chillingly cold.
"...How could I die, how could I die..."
"why why……"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
There seemed to be a murmuring sound in the void that kept repeating. This is the resentment before death, the whisper of the Yin spirit that penetrates Yin and Yang.
Suzaku restrained the flames and turned into a red bird, falling towards the city below!
The small city with low walls was deserted and windy.
The streets in the city were littered with corpses, black in color.
There was a prone woman lying on the street, with one hand stretched forward. She was still trying to crawl forward before she died, and her fingernails dug several ravines into the ground...
In the corner in the other direction, there was an old man hunched over, his face extremely distorted, and he seemed to have suffered tremendous pain before his death.
In a courtyard, there was a five or six-year-old child lying down. It seemed that he suddenly encountered an accident while playing.
What these people have in common is that their bodies are sunken, skinny and bones, and they have a miserable appearance.
The other side of the city.
Liu Xin is thirty-four years old.
He was lying on his back on the couch, his face gray, quietly waiting for death to come.
He is from Huainan. He joined the army at the age of seventeen. He was a veteran of the local army. He went to Beiguan on rotation to guard the border and fought for the country. His arm was cut off by the Huns. After he was discharged, he stayed in Huainan.
A few years ago, the King of Huainan began to secretly migrate people from the Huainan Kingdom.
When he was young, Liu Xin and his mother fled to Huainan.
He and his mother got a chance to survive in Huainan, and they have always been grateful and loyal to Huainan. Therefore, unlike others, Liu Xin was willing to move to Lihan.
They became the population who came to the East China Sea Kingdom to open up wasteland.
He wanted to repay Huainan, who provided him with the conditions to survive and support his mother.
Coming to this far east land to open up wasteland, Liu Xin didn't feel any hardship at all.
Because I have been hungry, I understand that food and clothing are hard to come by.
Liu Xin worked hard to farm and keep his family alive. He didn't want to ask what happened between Huainan and Dahan, and he couldn't control it. He just wants to live his life well, and following Huainan is a kind of reward.
He thought he could live peacefully, but a few days ago, everything was changed by a sudden flash of blood.
Those stained with the blood will quickly weaken, leading to death. And the blood grew stronger and spread like a plague.
In one night, Donghai City suffered countless casualties.
That night, the wailing of countless people filled the city.
Liu Xin and the wife he married after returning from the disbandment blocked the doors and windows, and put the mother and child in a large wooden cabinet. The whole family listened uneasily to the desperate screams in the city, which rang out all night.
In just one night, the blood became overwhelming.
Liu Xin's family stayed behind closed doors, but the blood still seeped in.
The next day, his wife, two children, and mother were covered in blood one after another, and soon they lost their breath.
Liu Xin tried his best, but still watched his loved ones lose their lives one by one.
Only he didn't die.
Maybe it was because he started coughing violently in recent years and suffered from a serious illness, so the blood deliberately avoided him and did not take away his life.
But nothing matters anymore.
Liu Xinzhi was lying face to face on the wooden couch, with muddy tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
Scenes flashed before his eyes, including the blue sky and warm sunshine.
The face of my mother when I was a child, and the familiar yet unfamiliar comrades who joined the Huainan Army as an adult.
He studies hard and wants to advance in the military and make his mother proud of him.
Later, he was injured and discharged and returned home... His current wife, the woman who gave birth to two children for him, was still willing to marry him even after his arm was broken.
After having a wife, he became the father of two children, a lovely daughter, and a young son...
... He thought that he might have many regrets in his life, but after all, he had left many good memories.
Liu Xin took a deep breath, knowing that he was about to reach the end of his life.
He was a little unwilling to die like this... He wanted to know why, where did the blood color come from?
How many people in the city died because of this... Tears fell from the corners of Liu Xin's eyes. He regretted that he should not have moved here with his mother, wife and daughter, if he was in the Han Dynasty. That powerful man would never invade the city with this weird bloody light.
Grandma, let’s go back to Dahan together after we die, that is our home... Liu Xin breathed his last in regret.
Before he died, all the images came together and turned into the pure and beautiful face of his four-year-old daughter. The warm voice of his mother coaxing him to sleep when he was a child sounded in his ears, and it sounded like the daughter's cheerful humming tune...

Let's go quickly... Liu Qian woke up with a start while driving, his mind still filled with the purgatory-like scenes in Donghai City before leaving.
A few days ago, he saw a message on the bamboo slip, asking him to try using the country's population to avenge the big man and avenge his father.
He agreed by coincidence, and based on the instructions on the bamboo slips, the national destiny that had been gathered after the founding of the East China Sea was carved into an array. He also used the instructions given in the bamboo slips to record them in the relics of his father, King Huainan. , find an artifact.
Then Liu Qian followed the arrangement of the bamboo slips and used the national luck to push the artifact, causing a red mist to emit from it.
When he finished doing this, he seemed to hear a chuckle from the other side of Jian Shu.
Things soon began to change.
The King of Huainan prepared a way out for his son and established the Donghai Kingdom, which resulted in numerous casualties in just a few days.
That touch of blood grew heavier and thicker.
In the end, even the palace where Liu Qian was located was also affected.
The maids and concubines are all dead. Once they are covered in blood and moan for a period of time, they will die.
Perhaps because of his status as the head of the country, Liu Qian has always been okay. The blood color seems to be harmless to him, and he has survived until now.
But he had nothing left.
Liu Qian woke up in the car with tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
Fortunately, my father had arrangements, otherwise I would have died this time... Liu Qian thought to himself.
When King Huainan saw him for the last time, he told him that it might not be safe to avoid the East China Sea.
If he never returns, Donghai may be targeted by others, or even found by a big man.
The King of Huainan said that he had obtained a sea map from the Qin Dynasty. There was a large island farther out on the sea. It was far away from the Han Dynasty and no one would find him again.
The King of Huainan had sea ships on the coastline south of the East China Sea. The last thing he told Liu Qian was that if the East China Sea also encountered a crisis and it was difficult to stay, he would be allowed to take a boat out to sea.
That is the last resort, life, death, wealth and wealth are left to God's will.
At this moment, Liu Qian, supported by the last team of guards, left the royal city and wanted to go south by boat to go to sea and never come back.
He fell asleep for a while in the speeding car and woke up covered in cold sweat.
He felt that the car was slowly slowing down and stopped, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why did you stop? Are we here?"
There was silence and no response from outside.
Liu Qian felt nervous and opened the car curtain.
Then he saw a black flying snake appearing outside the car, flapping its wings in the air, which was extremely frightening.
Liu Qian was horrified and exclaimed.
The big snake looked at him coldly and murmured: "Who did it?"
This voice... this voice... Liu Qian suddenly shouted like crazy: "Are you Huo Qubing? Are you Huo Qubing?"
"Who did it?"
Teng She made a voice that shook her soul: "These people you migrated are all dead. Who did it?"
"So what if it's me?"
Liu Qian said in a seductive voice: "I am the son of the King of Huainan and a descendant of the Han Dynasty. You broke my leg, and the emperor didn't even blame him. Why?"
"I just want these people to die and your country to perish?"
"These people are dead, and their essence, blood, and life were extracted for use. Can they hurt a big man at all? In terms of stupidity, you rank first in the world."
On the scales of the Soaring Snake, a golden pattern fell off, like golden lightning.
Click!
Liu Qian's eyebrows were cracked and pierced by golden light, and the fear on his face solidified.
His body was wrapped in red flames and burned.
He languished in the flames, lost all his vitality, and finally perished in ashes.
Suzaku and Soaring Snake floated away in the sky.
In the Marquis Mansion in Chang'an, Huo Qubing got up and left the study, using the method of summons to issue a series of orders.
That night, the Liaodong County garrison received the order and went south out of the Han Dynasty and approached Lelang County in later generations to deal with the remains in the city and deal with the aftermath.
Huo Qubing's face showed a rare look of anger.
Liu Qian didn't say anything, but he could also think of who did it, Zi, and the things behind him that were suppressed in the imperial mausoleum.
Before the death of King Huainan, he also wanted to use the population of the small border town to absorb blood and recover from his injuries. How similar it is to the death conditions of those people we see now!
Zihe and the suppressed things in the imperial mausoleum obtained the blood of so many living people in order to gather strength and break through the restrictions of the imperial mausoleum?
These things that the First Emperor tried his best to ban were so evil!
And Zi is their accomplice!
Although the people who died were not Han people, Huo Qubing still felt uncontrollable anger.
…
Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
The Master was dormant in a palace.
There is a dark room underneath this palace, which is very secretive.
He knows more about this imperial mausoleum than others think.
At this time, Zi had some kind of feeling, took out a long-necked jade bottle, and looked at the bottle intently.
There was a ray of blood inside the bottle, which had been rising for days, almost touching the mouth of the bottle from below.
Only the last bit is left, and the blood in the bottle can accumulate to overflow.
"It's still a little short of meeting the requirements of the Immortal Master. It's a pity..."
"Liu Qian seems to be dead too."
Zi couldn't help but laugh: "Since Liu Qian died, the last breath of life in the small country in the East China Sea has been dispersed. The country has perished and the people have died, and the blood will disperse. Thousands of miles away will be covered in blood. By then, the Han Dynasty will discover the changes in the East China Sea."
"The Emperor of Han, the Champion, and others will all be able to deduce that it was me.
When they are angry, they will probably come to this tomb to look for me. Haha, when the suppressed existences are brought out, everyone who comes in will die! "
Zi sneered, took out another bronze formation disk, and tried to activate the formation disk.
The formation disk began to glow faintly. After carefully checking the changes on the formation disk, Zi closed his eyes and re-entered the cultivation state.
…
Champion House.
Huo Qubing suppressed the ups and downs of emotions in his heart and thought: With Zi's caution, if he enters the imperial mausoleum, he will definitely not dare to get close to the core royal city. He'll be hiding somewhere on the edge and won't show up easily.
Huo Qubing took out the slips of the First Emperor.
By practicing the restriction of the imperial mausoleum on the terracotta warriors to suppress immortals and demons, you can further control some of the changes in the imperial mausoleum, find him, and kill him.
A few days passed by.
That night, there was an aura in the champion house.
There is an obvious echo between the aura in the Hou Mansion and the Lishan Imperial Tomb.
At the same time, in the imperial mausoleum, Zi opened his eyes in the secret room: "It's almost time..."
He left the secret room, merged into the void, and walked in one direction towards the imperial mausoleum.
