"Ancestral God?"
"Where?"
The village elder's roar was so loud that all the Chu people were awakened from their daze and raised their heads.
The next moment, everyone was shocked!
I saw a rainbow in the sky, crossing from east to west.
The west end is in Yunmeng Mountain, and the east end is already in Yunmeng Zeli.
There are heavy rains in Chu region, so rainbows are not uncommon in Chu region, but this rainbow is a little unusual.
Compared with the previous rainbows in the sky, this rainbow is extremely low, so low that it gives everyone the illusion that it is within reach.
This is not an illusion. Everyone can clearly see that the source of the rainbow light is the top of Yunmeng Mountain. If someone were at the top of Yunmeng Mountain at this time, they would naturally be able to reach out and touch them.
Moreover, the rainbow light in the past had a hazy state, but this rainbow light is extremely clear, hanging low in the sky, with a divine light, like a road to the sky.
Not only that, everyone can see that under the rainbow light, there is a large flock of birds flying with the rainbow, almost covering half of the sky!
A rough estimate is probably not tens of thousands!
"I saw it, Ancestral God!" A surprised voice sounded, but it was an old man.
"I also saw it, it's on the rainbow!" the voices sounded one after another.
"Where?" Countless voices sounded one after another. Thousands of Chu people looked up at the sky. Many people looked anxiously and squinted at the rainbow light in the sky.
"We have reached the center of the lake now." It was the village elder who spoke. He had been staring at the figure walking on the rainbow. Thanks to his presbyopia, which was quite unique in farsightedness, he could vaguely see The figure took one step forward and landed directly on the top of a rocky mountain in Daze.
Due to the obstruction of the stone mountain, the figure could no longer be seen. A villager said regretfully: "I have seen it too, but the immortal master seems to be very young."
"Young? Doesn't that mean he is not the ancestor god?"
"The Ancestral God lives deep in Yunmengze, how can he come out easily?"
The villagers talked a lot, and the village elder turned around and looked at the generals.
Chu is a big country, and even the barbarians in Chu are proud of it.
Once there was a great change, the world was named Qin. Although the Chu people were dissatisfied, they had nothing to do.
I can only comfort myself, even if I become a member of Great Qin, won’t I still be a member of Chu? When offering sacrifices during the four seasons, aren't we still offering sacrifices to the ancestors and Dr. Qu Yuan?
Before that, all the kings of the Chu State adopted the so-called rule of inaction. Anyway, he was never short of food. It was impossible to even figure out how many people there were in the country.
Although he suddenly became a citizen of the Qin Dynasty, Ling Wu was indeed a good county magistrate. He personally led the Chu people to build houses, cultivate fields, and even taught the Chu people what laws and etiquette were.
Ling Wu regards the Chu people as his subjects, and the Chu people naturally regard him as their parents and officials.
However, during these days, it was the Hundred Generals who made the decision in Yunmeng County. The hundred generals were veterans of the Chu attack, and they regarded the Chu people as enemies.
On weekdays, Chu people are strictly prevented from moving around, and they are not even allowed to take care of the scattered fields in the mountains and rivers.
Fortunately, although there is little soil in the fields in Yunmeng County, the land is extremely fertile and has abundant water vapor. It is a place where sowing seeds will yield a harvest. There is also a commanding officer who patrols every day. If there is no one to look after him for a few days, it is not a big problem.
What really made the Chu people angry was that all the Qin soldiers regarded the Chu people as criminal prisoners after the Hundred Generals issued an order. Don't even go out, even if you go out at night, there will be soldiers holding swords and shouting at each other, asking who is who.
During the day, Qin soldiers were patrolling all the time, but when the villagers met each other, they didn't even dare to say anything and could only signal with their eyes.
In the final analysis, it is just because the Chu people believe that they are descendants of the ancestral god Donghuang Taiyi. They believe that their ancestral god lives in Yunmeng Ze, and that there are gods in Yunmeng Mountain and even in Yunmeng Ze.
It is this point that makes the village elders puzzled.
Since ancient times, we have been offering sacrifices to the ancestral god Donghuang Taiyi. More than a thousand years ago, there was another Dr. Qu Yuan. We have been offering sacrifices for thousands of years now.
When we sacrifice our ancestors, we are not against the Qin Dynasty, so why have we become prisoners of crime?
If Emperor Qin doesn't want to hear about the existence of gods and immortals in the world, then our Chu people will have no ancestors? What's the point?
Especially this Hundred Generals of the Qin Army, didn't you keep saying that there are no gods in Yunmengze?
Today, I, the deity from the Chu land, appeared in the world. He was walking under the rainbow in front of so many people. Thousands of birds were sent to see him off, and thousands of beasts were worshiping him. What did you say?
What does it matter if he is an ancestral god or not?
Looking at the general with hatred, the old man suddenly smoothed his ragged clothes with a respectful expression, then raised his hands high like a dance, waved his sleeves a few times, then touched his forehead with the backs of his hands, and bowed deeply. Prostrate to the ground.
"We Chu people, worship the Immortal Master of Yunmeng Mountain!"
"I hope that the Immortal Master will protect our people and prevent us from being harmed by swords and weapons, so that we can live in peace and joy!"
The other Chu people were waking up from a dream. The next moment, countless people were shaking their clothes and making noises. Thousands of their complete or tattered sleeves were raised into the air, singing and dancing.
"We Chu people, worship the Immortal Master Yunmengshan!"
Thousands of people from Chu fell to the ground in obeisance and bowed their heads toward the rainbow in the sky.
Those who look at their heads will throw their bodies to the ground. Human beings cannot bear it, and they will be punished by heaven. Only the gods of heaven and earth can enjoy it!
"Get up, all of you, get up!" A loud shout rang out, it was the Hundred Generals.
The general's face was filled with anger at this time. When the Chu man looked up at the sky, he also raised his head. However, except for a rainbow light and a large group of birds and beasts, he saw nothing.
He was a little worried at first, but the look that Mr. Caixiang gave him just now completely ignited the anger in his heart.
In addition, he could also see the worried look on the faces of his soldiers.
Obviously, the morale of the military is in chaos!
Qin's laws were extremely harsh and the army was in disarray, so it was common practice to kill generals.
The only solution at the moment is to completely erase this matter!
And he has never believed in gods, let alone gods walking on the rainbow above his head. Everyone else saw it, but he couldn't see it.
This must be a trick of the Chu people!
He suddenly took a step forward, kicked a Chu man to the ground, then took off the sheathed sword from his waist and smashed his head and face.
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
"He killed someone!"
Several Chu people were beaten to death and sat on the ground crying, but other Chu people still fell to the ground and worshiped.
With a "cang" sound, the general was furious. He directly pulled out his sword and put it on the neck of the village elder with murderous intent.
"Did you say that there are outstanding people in Erchu, and that rainbow light just now was the immortal in Erchu?"
His voice was full of murderous intent: "In that case, I will chop off your head now and see if that bullshit god will come to save you!"
But the village elder was still prostrating himself on the ground and ignored him at all.
A sneer appeared on Baijiang's face. He suddenly moved his wrist and raised the sword high in his hand.
The First Emperor had great talents and great strategies, and everyone in the army was loyal to the First Emperor.
And the Iron Soldiers of Great Qin are the foundation for Great Qin to unify the world!
Don't tell me, this is just a pretense of Chu people.
Since the First Emperor ordered that there should be no immortal alchemists in the world, even if there were immortals here...
Someone also wants to kill the gods!
Qin's laws are strict, and since the general Meng Tian only said to guard them but never ordered to kill, the generals should naturally obey the orders.
However, Baijiang no longer cared about it at this time.
How can we endure this group of Chu people in front of us, who are stubborn and defiant, provoking the authority of the First Emperor again and again?
In addition, although the leader of the army at this time was General Meng Tian, the hundreds of generals were veterans of the attack on Chu.
The commander of the attack on Chu was General Wang Jian.
At this time, the feudal clans in the world were extremely serious. The First Emperor ordered the abolition of surnames in the world and replaced them with surnames. He also forced everyone to have surnames, intending to make the world completely forget about the official families of the Six Kingdoms and weaken the influence of clans. Next, the Taiwei was appointed, divided into three princes, to carry out defensive strategies in the army, so as to gain military power in the world.
Thirdly, the enfeoffment was abolished and prefectures and counties were changed. From then on, there was no longer a country within a country. One place was ordered and the whole world was loyal to one person.
However, it is difficult to accomplish anything in a hurry. In particular, the move to withdraw military power had little effect.
This is simply because those who can serve as middle-level and above-level officers these days are all small and medium-sized nobles. The small and medium-sized nobles were originally dependent on the big nobles. They were so-called ministers, and their fiefdoms were also within the fiefdoms of the big nobles.
Except for the guards directly under the First Emperor who were national soldiers, the other three armies were all from private armies.
The so-called Great Wall Army in later generations was the army of the Meng clan. The so-called southern army, that is, the unit where the hundreds of generals are located, is the Wang family's army.
Although the current general is Meng Tian, since Wang Ping, Wang's son, is the captain, his old troops will naturally take Wang Ping's order as their priority!
But Wang Ping's order was extremely simple. It said in one word, kill!
Let’s start with this stubborn old man from Chu!
The killing intent was now evident in Baijiang's eyes. He raised his sword high and was about to swing it down hard. At this moment, a cry of surprise rang out.
"Hundred generals, top of your head!"
The voice was short and rapid, and he didn't even have time to say a few more words. It was obvious that the danger was extremely high!
Baijiang raised his head subconsciously, and the next moment, his whole body was suddenly shaken.
I saw a big insect sitting on a high barn, with a pair of yellow-green eyes staring at Baijiang.
This big insect was actually half a foot long, and its fur was smooth and watery, as if it had been oiled.
The most surprising thing is that this big insect is completely white, with no trace of color except for the iconic pattern on its body!
The general was a little confused.
Where did this white tiger come from?
When did it climb up to the barn without making a sound?
Before Baijiang could react, the white tiger on the roof of the barn suddenly moved.
The next moment, it jumped down!
"Ah!" Baijiang suddenly reacted, and he subconsciously swung his sword hard!
He has also been in battle for a long time, and this sword was extremely accurate, exactly where the white tiger was about to land!
As for the old man from Chu who is also in the sword, he can no longer care about it. Anyway, this old man from Chu will die unjustly!
However, although this white tiger is huge, it is extremely flexible.
While its body was still in the air, it stretched out a claw as big as a hundred heads and waved it lightly.
With a "clang", the claws collided with the bronze sword. General Bai felt a huge force coming, and the sword was instantly twisted and thrown away, and he involuntarily stepped back.
The white tiger landed, and it even had time to carefully avoid the villager under its claws before waving one paw again.
With a "crash" sound, the iron armor on the Hundred General's body was torn like paper, and the Hundred General also felt his whole body lightened and flew high into the sky.
There was a loud "boom" sound, and Bai Yi fell to the ground in a weird posture. He felt that his consciousness had begun to blur, and he could not even hear the sound of fighting close at hand.
The sounds of fighting or screams were naturally made by the soldiers under his command. General Bai reluctantly tilted his head. From the corner of his eye, General Bai could clearly see that his soldiers were already on their backs. Countless wild beasts were bypassing the Chu people and charging towards the Qin army's formation with bared teeth and claws.
These beasts didn't seem to want to hurt anyone, they just knocked the soldier down hard or knocked him to the ground and ignored him.
"These beasts seem to be protecting these Chu people. If this is true, then..."
The generals couldn't help but look to the east. The rainbow light had gradually disappeared, and birds were flying around the stone mountains in the middle of the lake.
To the east of the stone mountain, there seems to be a small black spot with a wide robe and big sleeves, going away.
At the right moment, I heard a clear voice coming from a distance that I could clearly hear even though I was far away.
"I teach without distinction, and I also hope that all living beings in Yunmeng Mountain will become demons and ancestors as soon as possible!"
As the words resounded in all directions, the human figures had drifted away, and many beasts slowly dispersed, but from time to time they looked back at the soldiers, their eyes fierce, and even revealed a bit of wisdom.
The general was horrified, thinking about those words.
"Are these animals going to become monsters?"
Just as he was about to look up again, his vision suddenly went dark.
Consciousness falls into blur.
…
When the Chu people of Yunmeng County knelt down in tears and thanked the gods for their blessing, at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, Wang Ping had already put on his war horse.
Green smoke was curling up on the mountain road, and there were still more than ten fires. Beside the fire, ten light vehicles were lined up in a row, blocking the mountain road. On the light cart were soldiers covered in iron armor. Their bodies were directly chained to the light cart, and their long arms pointed at the mountain road.
In the gaps between the light carts and on the flanks, there were more than five hundred swordsmen holding wooden shields, protecting the entire military formation tightly. Hundreds of soldiers were waiting behind the shields.
There were more than a thousand crossbowmen, protected by armored men, swords, and long soldiers in the middle. At this time, the crossbow strings were stretched, the arrows were inserted into the slots, and they were pointing diagonally toward the sky, waiting for Wang Ping's order.
Qin soldiers are good at fighting, and their reputation is well-deserved. With this military formation, even if they encounter a tide of beasts head-on, they will still be able to fight.
The entire military formation was still waiting for it, but it was lonely because there was not a single beast left in front of the military formation.
At this time, Wang Ping was sitting on the horse, his expression still blank.
Just a strange light in the depths of his eyes showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Just now, all kinds of beasts suddenly rushed from the depths of Yunmeng Mountain. The Qin army was certainly caught off guard, but fortunately Wang Ping was there.
Wang Ping was a member of the Wang family, and he was calm and unfazed by changes, so much so that the First Emperor once praised him for being as dumb as a chicken, saying that this was the demeanor of a famous general.
When he heard a noise like rolling thunder coming from the mountain, he immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert, mobilized light vehicles to seal the road, and ordered his scouts to set fire to the mountain road.
What he expected was correct. Countless wild beasts rushed towards him in an instant. Fortunately, the Qin army's military formation was complete and their morale was determined.
This is Wang Ping's opportunity. The purpose of this large army coming is to wipe out the alchemists and the beast tide in the mountains. At this time, the beast tide seems to be in panic. Although the reason is not known, if it is blocked by military formation, the beast tide will be in chaos.
With such a large tide of beasts, if there is a big chaos, just trampling on them will cause countless deaths and injuries!
The Qin army only needs to ensure that the light vehicles on the front are not broken by the beast tide, so that the military formation will not be in chaos!
Unexpectedly, just when Wang Ping was about to order the arrows to be fired, suddenly the general Meng Tian and his personal guards, Meng Tian, were overjoyed and flew over on horseback.
The general ordered us to focus on self-protection and not to harm the beasts in the mountains.
Therefore, Wang Ping had to order the army to wait for orders. He watched the endless tide of beasts running past his eyes, but he did not dare to shoot a single arrow.
What a shame for this general!
The only good thing is that at least one of us was not harmed.
That being the case...
Just as Wang Ping thought of this, a soldier suddenly came quickly.
"Please report to the Captain that General Wang Bai and his men encountered a tide of beasts in Yunmeng County and were besieged by a group of beasts!"
Wang Ping's brow suddenly jumped, and he turned to look at the soldiers who reported the news: "How are the soldiers?"
The soldier who reported the news rolled off his saddle and dismounted, with a look of confusion on his face: "The hundreds of soldiers are all damaged, and everyone is injured! General Wang Bai was seriously injured and is already unconscious!"
"General Bai said before he fell into coma," he said quietly, "please report to the captain, we have offended the ancestors of the Chu people and will be blamed!"
The ancestral god of the Chu people?
Hundreds of soldiers were all injured, and hundreds of generals were seriously injured and fell into coma?
Wang Ping's eyes moved slightly.
There were many famous generals under the First Emperor's command, such as Li Xin and Zhang Han, all of whom were immediate choices.
However, when it comes to the general family, it is only the second family of Meng Wang.
From Meng Zhuang to Qi to Qin, Meng Wu, Meng Tian and Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi continued for three generations, and they have been ministers to the world.
Although the Wang family was not a general before, she was originally the queen of a famous family. Wang Jian was a famous general comparable to Wu Anjun and Bai Qi. When Meng Wu was in court, the First Emperor also worshiped Wang Jian as his superior general and Meng Wu as his inferior general.
However, after the First Emperor unified the world and took over the world's military power, the Meng clan voluntarily fled to the northern frontier and would not return unless summoned. The Wang family retreated bravely, and the father and son retired to the countryside.
This time Meng Tian returned to the Central Plains due to his meritorious service, and the First Emperor appointed Wang Ping, the Wang family's son, to lead the Wang family's old tribe. His intention was very clear.
And Wang Ping also has great ambitions, and wants to compete with Meng Tian for the first place in the Qin Dynasty!
He doesn't care at all about the bullshit Chu Immortal Master.
What he really cares about is that he went out to the mountain and wanted to make achievements, but in the first battle, an army of hundreds was beaten and annihilated by wild beasts?
This is the shame of losing a teacher!
Without Meng Tian's order, why would he sit back and watch the beasts rush to Yunmeng County?
This is not a crime of war, but a crime of chaos!
No wonder the First Emperor had secret orders for himself!
A strange light shone in Wang Ping's eyes, and he suddenly spoke coldly.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
"Abandon the light carriages and baggage, and move forward quickly to the sky!"
"The general and the young master may have encountered something unexpected!"
