Tianxuan Realm!
Within the country of Ji!
The mountains are silent, but the weight of the years cannot be reduced by half!
The ancient road is vast and desolate, which pierces the heart!
The main road starting from Ji Wang City stretches forward, directly to the sky, making it impossible to see the end at a glance. This road was originally built by the Ji Kingdom with countless manpower and effort to pay tribute to the great merchants, but now it has become a road for the great merchants to conquer. The stepping stone of Ji Kingdom is really embarrassing to tell.
In the 9800th year of the Shang Dynasty, the King of Shang led his ministers and people to pray to heaven. The King of Ji was unethical, did not protect the people, and did not respect the orders of the King of Shang. He immediately sent out troops to conquer the Ji Kingdom. It has only been a month now, and the army of the Great Shang has already The city of King Ji was conquered, King Ji died in battle, and about 30,000 people from King Ji's clan were captured. Only the eldest daughter of King Ji escaped. King Shang received an edict from King Xuan (the god worshiped by Great Shang) in his dream, ordering an altar to be built. , sacrifice all the members of King Ji’s family to atone for King Ji’s sins!
On the desolate land, the west wind sang a sad song, and the wind and sand in the sky gradually covered the scattered corpses.
These are the people who died with Ji Kingdom!
One, two, three...
Some scattered ones fell on the land, countless in number, and many of them had been buried by the wind and sand. It can be considered that they were buried by the heavens after their death.
On top of the corpse that had not been swallowed up by the wind and sand, a group of strange birds were frantically munching on the remaining carrion on the corpse. A few of them were still hovering in the sky, making strange calls from time to time.
The screams, supported by the empty land, resounded all around.
Suddenly there was a boom!
There was a huge explosion like thunder in the distance, "Puff, Puff..." The strange bird flapped its wings vigorously and flew away quickly. The weird cry from its mouth was accompanied by extremely fast speed, and the sound was blown away. Pull for a long time...
Even the strange bird on the ground that was frantically eating carrion couldn't care less about satisfying its hunger and flew away in a hurry.
A huge pit appeared where there was an explosion in the distance. Jiang Chen was covered in blood and was crawling out of the huge pit with only a few rags and dirt on his body.
After a while, I finally climbed up, but in the end I exhausted all my strength.
He sat down hard on his buttocks and lay on the ground like a big character, breathing heavily!
After finally catching his breath, he fell asleep unknowingly because of extreme exhaustion. I don’t know how long it had passed, but the wind was still blowing, and the dust hit his cheeks. A slight pain came from Jiang Chen’s eyes. Opening your mouth slightly, you feel the dry wind blowing across your face, and the setting sun shining on your face restores a lot of warmth to your body.
"Bah, bah, bah," Jiang Chen kept spitting out the dirt in his mouth, trying to clean his mouth.
He looked around, then looked at the huge pit under him and the densely packed corpses. His eyes showed a hint of fear, and a chill shot straight up to the sky. His head shook in disbelief!
After a long time, he slowly said: "The Shang army actually sacrificed so many lives!"
"Fortunately, the master left a surrogate puppet to escape this calamity. Otherwise, the bones in this pit must be one of mine, but I can't meet these people again..."
Jiang Chen sat there blankly, just as he kept talking to himself!
Suddenly, a group of about a hundred cavalrymen were seen running over from the horizon. They were riding red unicorn horses of a different kind from the wilderness. They wore five-square helmets with eyebrows on their heads, wore light black armor with gold buttons, and held bronze spears.
The leader of the investigation seemed to have seen a huge pit in the distance, and turned around to report to the captain. The captain greeted him a few times, and everyone quickly moved towards the huge pit.
Jiang Chen, who was frightened by the sudden cavalry formation, frowned and secretly cursed, "What bad luck!"
He quickly took a look at the surrounding environment and found that the surrounding area was filled with endless wilderness. If he was exposed to this group of cavalry, his little arms and legs would definitely not be able to escape. He quickly made a plan in his mind, thinking: "If I can't run away, then what?" All we can do is take a gamble."
I saw Jiang Chen jump into the huge pit again, quickly took out a purple-brown magic talisman from his arms, made a few quick gestures with his hands, chanted a few spells in his mouth, and the magic talisman turned into a ray of light and shrouded it. Jiang Chen's body gradually merged into the soil and disappeared!
As if concealing his body with the magic talisman was not enough to reassure him, he then used the breath-holding technique to remain motionless and wait quietly, hoping in his heart that the group of cavalry would leave soon after completing the inspection.
Although Jiang Chen hid himself in the soil, he could still hear the movement outside. The heavy sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, step by step, and every step seemed to beat Jiang Chen's heart.
Of course he knew what would happen if he fell into the hands of this group of people again. A few days ago, he just happened to pass by the merchant army's sacrifice site, and he was caught by the leading general as a spy of the Ji Kingdom and was thrown into the sacrifice pit without saying a word. The mass graves filled with corpses were enough to leave a shadow in his heart. If he is caught and can't explain why he was not sacrificed, he may not just be used as a sacrifice again, but he may have to experience eighteen kinds of torture one by one.
You could faintly hear the cavalry on the pit mumbling something, but it was too far away to hear clearly. This group of people spoke with a local accent from Chaoge City in the Shang Dynasty, and seemed to be wondering why there was a huge pit in the sacrifice pit here. Although it was only vaguely, Jiang Chen could still understand the accents they spoke. He was adopted by an old Taoist priest when he was eleven years old. Although the old Taoist priest seemed to have quite good cultivation, he looked poor and downtrodden. He stayed with the old Taoist priest for nearly seven years. He was taught by the old Taoist priest and taught him some methods of breathing and breathing. He is still in the middle stage of qi training. What Jiang Chen admires is that the old Taoist priest seems to have no knowledge of the ancient secrets (nor I don’t know if he compiled it), miscellaneous notes and unofficial histories, and hundreds of schools of thought. Under the guidance of the old Taoist priest, Jiang Chen had already learned the languages of several powerful countries in the Tianxuan world at the age of fifteen, and even some advanced I also know a little bit about ancient writing.
Shang language is the main language on the mainland. The Great Shang Ding Dynasty has been in the world for more than nine thousand years. It has been passed down for eight generations and has produced eight emperors. Each of them has the power to suppress this world. They are the most powerful in the world and have suppressed countless countries. It was difficult to raise their heads, and they all surrendered to the great merchants. In ancient times, the sects also secluded themselves from the world to avoid the power of the great merchants.
Jiang Chen pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, and vaguely heard a voice that seemed to be saying: "Boss, the sacrificial pit was suddenly destroyed. Could it be the remnants of the Ji Kingdom? What if it affects the effect of the sacrificial ritual and offends the general?" If you blame me, can I still survive?"
A rough voice echoed: "Damn, I'm so unlucky! I actually received a mission to inspect the sacrifice pit, and something like this happened. It's all Lu Kang's fault. He was jealous of the boss who took the lead in attacking Ji Wang City. , actually took advantage of his authority to transfer our team here to guard the sacrifice pit and then patrol the border. Damn it, if the general blames me, I will be the first to go and settle the score with that guy."
The big man spit loudly, then jumped off the Chilin horse, stuck his spear on the ground, put his hands on his hips, and looked dissatisfied.
When the captain saw his appearance, he frowned sternly and shouted: "Old monster, shut your stinky mouth! Keep these bastard words in your stomach from now on. On this battlefield, if these words spread out, you will be shouted out. You don’t even know how you died.”
"Boss..."
Before the big man finished speaking, he was told to shut up by the leader of the team. Then he frowned and jumped out of the pit. A dozen people who were close to him also jumped down. The remaining cavalry on the pit spread out to guard.
Jiang Chen heard the sound getting closer and closer to him. He was afraid that the merchant army would be over if they didn't retreat when the spiritual power of the talisman was exhausted. He clung to the ground because the huge pit was too big, but it was still far away from him. From a considerable distance, it could be seen that more than ten people were looking around for something. This behavior caused beads of sweat to appear on Jiang Chen's face, and he kept praying in his heart.
If he had the magical power to follow his words, he would have sent these cavalrymen hundreds of miles away as soon as possible. But my talent once made the old Taoist priest shake his head. Although he taught me a lot of knowledge, he learned very few combat spells. When he was short of money, he taught him a few deceptive tricks. The euphemistic name of magic is that it allows one to experience the ways of all sentient beings, but in reality it allows one to use these small means to defraud money to make a living.
Therefore, what I know now are just some tricks that are of no use. The concealment talisman I just used is the legacy left by the old Taoist priest when he explained his mission before he died. And this breath-holding method is what he used to do I used it to cheat money when I was pretending to be dead. I didn't expect to use it so many times. Now it comes in handy in this life and death situation.
Not to mention, these kinds of things left by the old Taoist priest are really practical. It is really painful to think of the earth trap talisman I used to escape from the sacrifice pit. It was so powerful that I almost buried myself alive again. And it caused such a big commotion!
Could it be that before his death, the old Taoist priest calculated that he would have such a calamity and specially prepared for it? As soon as the idea came up, Jiang Chen shook his head and quickly rejected the idea. If the old Taoist priest had such means, he would still be so poor, and even take him to cheat on food and drink sometimes!
It’s better to quickly think about how to escape from the disaster in front of you.
