The sky is bright and the sun shines on the high forest.
Qi Jingzhi and the other three people talked for a long time when they suddenly saw red light flowing in the sky, and a giant fish that seemed to be made of intertwined flames flew towards them.
Before the red-fire fat fish could even find its whereabouts, it opened its mouth eagerly and spat out two thin volumes of documents.
Qi Jingzhi stretched out his hand to catch it, and saw two volumes of documents, one new and one old. The new one was written in talented ink, and was titled "Superior Zhenglu Gongqi". The old one was a military register, which was already damaged, with the words " Songling County Yamenfang, "Zhizheng Ninth Year" and other words.
"Li has already written a submission. If you two have no objections, please sign and deposit it later."
The red-fire fat fish landed in front of the three of them, his eyes burning and his tone eager.
Qi Jingzhi glanced at the man, then handed the submission to Yu Zhongnan, while he unfolded the military register and took a closer look.
This military register is old and the paper has turned yellow. However, it is probably written with pine smoke ink produced in Songling County. The handwriting has not faded and the words are clearly legible.
"In the autumn of the seventh year of Zhengzheng, the imperial court issued the Yufu Edict and sent out garrison troops for defence. The county and army headquarters were all in order and the county was officially drafted. A total of 293 men and strong men were transferred to the register and arrived before September 20th. The county and city listen."
After these few crosses, there is half a piece of yellow paper, with a large section of vermilion writing written on it. The style of writing is obviously different from the former.
"In November of the sixth year of Zhizheng, Yongchang County, Daijun of Yuzhou, reported that there was a river in the north of the county, named Forbidden Water. There was originally a miasma in the river, which isolated the north from the south and made it difficult for living beings to cross. Recently, for some unknown reason, the miasma of Forbidden Water suddenly appeared. After it dissipated, I saw savages and ferocious beasts running rampant on the other side, and the fertile soil stretched for thousands of miles."
"When the ruler of the country heard about it and the ministers of the Qizheng Pavilion, he initiated the idea of expanding to the north. He changed Yongchang County into a military town, and appointed Hong Xuangan, the Marquis of Hengye, as the military envoy of Yongchang Town and the general manager of the march to the north, taking charge of the military and political affairs of the northern expansion. Hengye Hou then built a garrison at the bend of the river on the north bank of the Forbidden Water and gathered armored soldiers. The imperial imperial edict of Yufu was sent to this county, and Songling County was recruited as usual. Two hundred and ninety-three men from the county were sent to garrison Yongchang Town. I will serve you in front of Marquis Hengye’s tent.”
"In July of the eighth year of Zhengzheng Dynasty, the Forbidden Water Pass was first established, and more than 18,000 troops were gathered. The Marquis of Hengye supported tens of thousands of soldiers and went deep into the wild foreign lands, driving away tigers and leopards, sweeping away the rebels, and setting up nine military forts along the way, stretching for hundreds of miles. It stopped when it met the snow-capped mountains. Marquis Hengye carved a stone at the foot of the mountain to remember it and gave it the name 'Lengshan'."
"In September, Marquis Hengye personally led one guard and three battalions, totaling 1,500 people, to cross the cold mountain. On the north slope, he encountered two dragon corpses. The military spirit of the front men inspired the evil spirits of the dragon corpses. The whole guard died in a battle, and the corpses were left on the mountain. On the overcast and snowy slopes, all the young men and women of Songling County were among them. Marquis Hengye escaped with his body and fled back to Jinshuiguan to recuperate for three months until the coming year. At the end of the year, there was a heavy snowstorm in the night, and Marquis Hengye went to the city to inspect. But the old wounds suddenly appeared, and he died facing the north."
Qi Jingzhi's heart trembled when he saw the sentence "All young men in Songling County are among them." He quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts with his heart candle and continued to look down.
"In the first month of the ninth year of Zhengzheng, there was corpse energy in Lengshan, which was invading southward with the wind. All the nine villages outside the pass were destroyed by the evil spirit of the corpse demon. At this time, the forbidden water miasma was on the rise again, and the soldiers inside the pass were greatly frightened and fled back. There were so many people on the south bank that Guancheng was abandoned, so the expansion to the north was stopped."
"In addition, Marquis Hengye once wrote a memorial to describe the whole battle at Lengshan. He said that there seemed to be something special about Ding Zhuang's bloodline in Songling County. When they encountered the corpse of a dragon in Lengshan, nearly 300 soldiers breathed into mist, the clouds steamed and the clouds glowed, and they turned into unicorns. This shape caused the dragon corpse to mutate and the Mengmeng army was defeated. From now on, the imperial court will open up the northern border, and the troops in Linzhou may not recruit and avoid sudden disasters, or they may recruit more and achieve miraculous results."
"In the spring of the ninth year of Zhengzheng, the Huntian Division, the Wuyun Division and the prefecture, county, and town demon government agencies each sent capable personnel to search Linshan, destroyed three Moon Mother Temples, and captured and killed hundreds of mystical believers. However, various places in Linshan were early There is no mountain god, no mountain spirit that has become a climate, let alone the rise of Linde. In Xiaosong Mountain, except for an old mandrill guarding the Netherland God's Mansion, the blood of the mountain people is also ordinary."
"This expansion to the north is very ominous, and the theory of Qilin's bloodline is even more shocking. If it is allowed to spread, there will definitely be heated debates and turmoil among people. Once the evil people come in force, the people of Songling County and even the whole state will be killed. Upon hearing this, the family members of the young men who died in the war, in order to collect the corpses and avenge the blood feud, must join forces and go to remote areas to increase casualties, so they blocked the news, transferred military personnel, and kept them in the Linde Pavilion. Hereby, remember."
This is the end of this half page of ink ink writing. Although there is no signature, it is undoubtedly written by a department from the Zhenmo Academy in Huaide County. The lines in the words are shocking.
Qi Jingzhi opened the yellow paper and saw a list of names, ages and places of origin of 293 men attached to the original ink characters of the Songling County Military Building.
Such a list really cannot fall into the hands of evil spirits.
Qi Jing glanced at ten lines and quickly flipped through the directory of young people in Shanqian Village, and saw the name of his deceased father at a glance.
The few words in ink seemed to have a huge weight, and they hit the young man's eyes. Even though he had been prepared in his heart, he still felt a sudden pain in his heart, and his expression became a little dazed.
He clutched the military register tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, and even the sharp knife was also touched, exuding bursts of warmth.
The aura around the young man's body fluctuated, which immediately alerted the other people and attracted their attention.
Li Guangye had already read the contents of the military register before he rushed back, and he understood somewhat when he saw the situation: "Brother, did any of your relatives die in this battle to expand the north?"
There was nothing to hide about this matter. Qi Jingzhi let out a heavy breath, handed the military book in his hand to Master Meng, and then nodded to Chihuo Fat Fish: "I was about to ask Li Lingtai for advice, then What's the matter with the water ban in Yongchang Town? Are the miasma on the water and the corpse energy on the other side really that powerful?"
Hearing this, the red-fire fat fish nodded his chubby round head: "Li doesn't know much, I just heard that the forbidden water is densely covered with miasma poison, and anyone who touches it will die violently. In addition to that, the miasma There are also many invisible evil objects in the poison that come and go suddenly. If they hit a ship, it will be destroyed, and if someone is hit, they will die. They are called 'ghost bombs' by the locals."
"If someone commits a capital crime in Yongchang Town or even Dai County, he will be taken to the Forbidden Water and executed with miasma poison and ghost bombs. The local soldiers and civilians privately regard this as a sacrificial ceremony."
"It is said that from the first lunar month to the tenth lunar month every year, the water is forbidden to be crossed. However, from the eleventh to the twelfth month, the miasma in the water will be significantly weakened, and the ferocity of the ghost bombs will also be reduced. It is just like the sixth year of Zhizheng. From November to the first month of the ninth year of Zhizheng, the situation where the forbidden water miasma completely dissipated has only happened once so far."
After Qi Jingzhi heard this, a look of worry appeared on his face. If his prediction was correct, after celebrating his sixteenth birthday, my grandfather must have left home for the Forbidden Water in Yongchang Town!
I was drunk and suddenly I couldn’t write anymore. I only wrote so much ink in one night. .
