Before the gray-white mist completely dissipated, the low-pitched roar was approaching again, and it attacked again with the vast corpse energy, making the already extremely depressed Void become even more irritated, and everyone seemed to have a thickening on their chests. Like a tumor, it is even constantly expanding, compressing the breathing space.
When the fog completely dissipated, the sight in front of him made the masked man take two steps back unnaturally. Not only was the number of bones in the army not small, but it had also increased dozens of times under the naked eye, completely filling the area. In the void ahead, even the brilliance of the sun was completely covered, and the entire world turned into a white world!
Even the many black golds were shocked. Even if the entire group of people with human faces and beast bodies put together such a number, there may not be so many. There may be millions of crazy bones in front of them, completely blocked, not even the slightest gap can be seen. No, the oppressive aura is naturally self-evident, and they are still moving forward quickly.
"Where did so many bones come from?" Lin Su, who was a hundred miles away, was also confused. After all, the number completely exceeded his own knowledge. It was not because the bones were strong, but because he was curious about so many bones. Where were the bones hidden before? Underground?
"If these bones are all dead people, then I can't imagine it!" Mr. Gou groaned.
"North..." Holy Son Taixu also muttered to himself, seeming to be lost in thought.
"What's the point? Many civilizations and countries have appeared in that place to the north. The war has lasted intermittently for thousands of years. During that period, I don't know how many people died. Moreover, there was a period of ground collapse in the middle, which destroyed many tombs. The corpses and corpses were all rolled deep into the ground, otherwise how could there be so many people piled up!" The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Su indifferently and said calmly.
This sentence made Lin Su tremble. It seemed that he had passed by there before. Isn't it the only place he must pass on his way to the Beiming Forbidden Land? There was indeed a very uncomfortable and depressing feeling, and he had felt this way for a long time when he was not close, but it was not as obvious as it was now. He did not expect that there were so many people buried under the ground. Bones, it is enough to imagine how brutal the battlefield was back then.
"War is only one of the reasons. At most, hundreds of millions of people will die. As far as I know, the real reason is more than that!" Liu Yemei seemed to break away from the last black gold obsession and glanced at the void to the north. Finally, he said lightly.
More than two thousand years ago, there was an emperor who called himself the Corpse King. In order to become an immortal, he joined a cult at that time and began the so-called journey of cultivating immortals. However, his qualifications were so poor that even the leader of the cult could not stand it. , after taking many elixirs, his cultivation level still has not improved. He has been stuck in the late Yuanling stage for decades, and is almost exhausted.
However, there must be treacherous ministers under the faint king. According to ancient books, there was a treacherous minister named Keyu at that time. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he gave advice to the corpse king. If you want to cultivate immortality, you must be in the Yang year. At the time of the moon and the sun, if you kill 999,900 people and gather them together to form an obsession to cultivate immortality, you can move the way of heaven, and you can achieve success here!
"Pfft... So he believed it?" When Lin Su heard this, he was also dumbfounded. This was obviously unreliable. He would believe it if it devoured the opponent's vitality, but killing people purely for the sake of killing is completely different from cultivating immortals. No connection at all!
"So this is the sorrow of ordinary mortals. Of course, it is also related to his status. After all, in that situation, he had no choice. If others did not die, he had to die, but he died in the end!" Liu Yemei's voice was almost Said without emotion.
Of course, his death was not useless. After all, what he did also helped the traitor Keyu at that time. This guy practiced blood magic back then and needed a lot of blood as support, otherwise it would be easy to fail. But he himself There was no way to get so much blood in a short period of time, so he had to come up with this plan. However, he disappeared later, and the records are even more vague, with various versions circulating.
"There is such a past..." Lin Su was also a little dumb, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was very cruel. He couldn't help but shook his head, but his expression made Liu Yemei snort and laugh at him. He is a compassionate and kind man!
"There are many past events like this in the world of ordinary people. Do you want to listen? The most recent one happened more than two hundred years ago..." Liu Yemei looked at Lin Su's curled eyebrows and suddenly giggled. He laughed, seemingly stimulating the latter's nerves.
"But throw it away. If you hear this kind of thing too much, you'll get annoyed, so forget it!" Lin Su shook his head.
"You're the one to pull them down! Immortal cultivators can kill people faster, more, more horribly, and even more ruthlessly than mortals. What qualifications do you have to be compassionate here?" Liu Yemei's tone suddenly changed, and the murderous aura in his voice could not be hidden. Killing intent swept through Lin Su's body. At this moment, he felt that he was soaked all over, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
"What are you doing?" Lin Su didn't understand why this old lady was so crazy all of a sudden. Even if what she said makes sense, there's no need to use this tone, right?
"I didn't do anything, I just suddenly felt funny~ A country can be destroyed with a raise of a hand, and a ray of vitality leaked can even affect ordinary mortal cultivators. At this time, I actually feel that the battlefield between mortals is very dangerous. cruel!"
Liu Yemei's voice became full of emotion, but this emotion made Lin Su's body stand on end. Thinking about it carefully, maybe what she said was right. Immortal cultivators really have no right to say that mortals are cruel. After all, mortals may need reasons and weapons to kill. , but immortal cultivators can only kill people in an instant, without even needing any reason, and can implicate many innocent people silently. It has been the same in the past, it is now, and it will be the same in the future!
When Lin Su thought of this, he shook his head helplessly and turned into a bitter smile. It seemed that this was indeed the case. When he fought with people in the past, he had no scruples at all in his attacks. Every time his vitality was affected, he could fly thousands of miles or even further, because How many innocent mortals will die by themselves? What qualifications do I have to pity them?
"But then again, how did you know about what happened more than two hundred years ago?" At this time, Lin Su suddenly remembered the inappropriateness in Liu Yemei's words just now. Wasn't this old lady sealed away more than three hundred years ago?
"Huh? This is a secret. Do you listen or not? If you don't listen, I will continue talking..." Liu Yemei didn't seem to care about this detail. At this time, she was like an old lady who was making things happen, without any regard for other people's feelings and thoughts. To keep nagging.
However, the middle-aged man seemed to be mentioning the past, roughly the same as what he said, and even more detailed. Lin Su was quite surprised that there were more than 16,000 civilized wars that took place in that area. Years, and he was able to list all the major and minor battles that took place during this period, which makes people a little suspicious. Did he make it up on the spot?
"The most recent war happened more than two hundred years ago, and it was also the last country on that land. Since then, no civilization has appeared. Let alone the population, it is not even suitable for living there." The middle-aged man sighed slightly. His tone seemed to be trapped in a brief memory.
The number of people who died that time was the most in the past thousand years...
In places close to the ghost realm today, there were still empires two or three hundred years ago, with hundreds of large and small empires. But history is like this. There are always unwilling emperors who want to unify the so-called world, but in fact they do not Knowing how big the so-called world is, even if someone can conquer hundreds of countries, this land will only be an oddity in the entire endless continent.
More than two hundred years ago, a man named King Hou of Qi finally appeared. He led an army of three million people. In the same year, he began to fight, burn, kill and loot everywhere. No one could stop him wherever he went. Small countries passing by were one after another. One was destroyed instantly, and in just a few years, he almost completed the campaign. At that time, only the smallest country in the southeast corner was left that had not been destroyed, but that was only a matter of time.
"Did a miracle happen?" Lin Su raised his eyebrows and asked when he heard this.
"No, the real tragedy has just begun~" The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Su.
When the last small country had only one city left, there were only about 100,000 defenders in the city, which was simply not enough to resist the army of King Qihou head-on, so they could only squat in the city and defend, which also caused great trouble to the siege army at that time. , because among the opponent's city-defending weapons are treasures from Tianji Pavilion, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to them.
When talking about this, Lin Su probably guessed that there might be immortal cultivators among the people attacking the city. After all, for the latter, taking over a city is not a problem at all, unless the opponent also has immortal cultivators.
But the fact was beyond Lin Su's expectation. Seeing the delay in attacking the city, King Qi simply ordered his army to surround the city instead of attacking it, and stayed outside the city. The purpose was to cut off the supply of food and grass in the city. After all, there was no food in the city at that time. To develop the fields, we only have some transported grain reserves. Without contact with the outside world, we will not be able to survive for a month.
The final result was that on the last day, the guards ate up all the food and went out to fight with them, but they still lost. No one of more than 100,000 people was spared, including the people in the city. That day, the ground seemed to be paved. A layer of bright red...
When the middle-aged man said this, his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was already experiencing the situation!
"Why are there no immortal cultivators in the city? This is contrary to common sense!" Lin Su's eyebrows twisted up.
"You're not old, are you? There are immortal cultivators in the city now, and it only started after that!" The middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling, but the smile was very forced, and it seemed bitter. Recommend:.recommenda
