"Teacher is keeping an eye on Chu State. Now your actions are directed by me! If the teacher has any instructions for you, I will not hide them."
"knew."
"Don't be too reckless! The strength of that high priest is comparable to that of a saint! If you rush in rashly, we won't even have a chance to collect your body."
…
Eastern region, northern border.
King Yan climbed onto the city wall that had been repaired overnight and looked into the distance.
Mo Qianji, Lao Mumu, Mr. Ying, and Mr. Xing all climbed up the wall.
Doctor Magpie didn't catch up, he was still busy with emergency training.
"Prince Yan." Mo Qianji spoke first, "Do you know what you are facing?"
"I know a little bit, but not much!" King Yan exhaled, "If I guess correctly, it should be related to the legend in the Northern Territory."
"King Yan, if you are familiar with it, tell me!" Lao Mumu took a step back to show that he was an audience.
"I don't know much. Those few people probably know better than me." King Yan rubbed his robe for a while, straightened his thoughts, and slowly said: "The beliefs of the Northern Territory are different from those of our Eastern Territory. Same, completely different from the Three Emperors of Heaven and Earth and the Five Emperors of the World here."
"They..." King Yan felt that he didn't know how to explain this to everyone, "What they worship is not humans, but God!"
It's not strange to worship the sky. Not to mention the Emperor of Zhou, even the common people would shout "God" when they faced injustice and had nowhere to redress. However, since it was so difficult for King Yan to talk about it, I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as worshiping the sky.
"They regard heaven as a kind of belief." King Yan continued, "In their eyes, the laws of survival are set by heaven. They repay heaven with awe and show enough respect for heaven. They believe that everything in the world is determined by heaven. It is given by God. There should be competition between species, not a fight to the death. Even if you die, you will return to God."
At least after hearing this, there was no problem for the time being, so everyone listened patiently to King Yan's words.
"It is said that hundreds of years ago, Zhou Dynasty, which was still a vassal state of the former Shang Dynasty, became prosperous without knowing it. You are all insiders of the 'Nine Provinces Plan'. Zhou was able to grow bigger without knowing it. Of course, he had Enough luck to support you.”
"But here comes the problem. When King Wen and King Wu and Duke Zhou later conquered all countries, the strength of all the subordinate countries was actually not weak! Even the Shang Dynasty, the overlord of the Central Plains at that time. The national strength was not inferior to the Zhou Kingdom at all! But the Zhou Kingdom won He conquered the Shang Dynasty and became the current common master of the world!"
"It is a taboo for a vassal state to challenge the overlord! But since the Shang Dynasty is not weak, it is easy to find the reason why the Zhou state can win."
"Luck!" Everyone around him reacted.
"When King Wu conquered Zhou, it took a year and a half from the dispatch of troops to the end." King Yan finally realized that he had been talking about his old master: "And in this year and a half, the Northern Territory has It's snowing in June. It doesn't matter if it snows once, it lasts for most of the year, and the grass roots are frozen!"
"In the spring of the next year, the herdsmen in the northern region thought that new grass would grow, but they encountered wind and sand again. It doesn't matter if it blows, it will be another half year. After half a year, it's time to snow again! So After going back and forth, the sheep starved to death. In that year and a half, many people had no food at home, so they went out in groups to find food. As a result..." King Yan could not go on and unknowingly turned to the enemy who was fighting to the death. The ancestors expressed sympathy.
"For more than a year, they prayed to the sky countless times and begged the sky to open the net. But to no avail. Later, the great fate at that time said such a thing." King Yan calmed down and continued Said: "He said that the sky is too high and the herdsmen cannot reach that level. It is better to concentrate the public opinion on him and let him tell the sky. After all, he is the great destiny."
"Later, King Wu unified the Central Plains. At this time, the disaster in the Northern Territory ended. The ignorant people in the Northern Territory thought it was the great destiny at that time, and increased their worship of the great destiny. Later, this worship gradually became deformed, More and more people are turning their respect for heaven to their worship of destiny. Unknowingly, the totem of the Northern Territory has changed."
"Later, the great minister at that time felt that the time had come, so he passed on the great minister's position, proclaimed himself the 'high priest', and continued to accept the worship of the herdsmen."
"Wait a minute!" Doctor Magpie, who wandered up at some point, discovered something was not quite right. "What happens after that? I don't believe there won't be a disaster in the Northern Territory later!"
"Every sacrifice is a piece of luck. Although it is not much, the base is huge. With the power of luck at the beginning, the high priest can mobilize the power of luck to suppress disasters. Disasters After it calms down, the herdsmen will think it is the high priest's work - this time of course it is his work, so he is highly trusted by the herdsmen."
"Since then, the faith in the Northern Territory has changed. Even though the high priest passed away later, everyone still regards him as faith. With the support of the power of luck, his soul will never dissipate."
King Yan stopped talking because he felt that he had finished telling what he knew.
"So..." Mo Qianji felt his throat was dry, "What we are facing is an old monster that has lived for more than seven hundred years?"
"It seems so." King Yan also felt that it was too mysterious, and his soul would not dissipate for hundreds of years. But if it weren't for the high priest, there seemed to be nothing that could give him a particularly strong sense of oppression. After all, he has even had his life in his hands.
"Compared with that old monster, the saint, that one and even the wise man are not old enough." The magic doctor couldn't help but sigh, seemingly not noticing the eyes of the people around him - aren't you also an old monster?
"Actually, we don't need to be so pessimistic." Even after hearing the shocking origins of the opponent in the upcoming battle, Mr. Xing still remained calm enough: "A seven-hundred-year-old monster, this soul is too powerful. He If it happens, you must choose a suitable attachment object. Then the owner of that 'body' can be ignored."
"That makes sense!" King Yan agreed with this statement, "If it is true as Mr. Disability, rule out; Zuo Hou is old and unable to do what he wants, rule out; Da Ming is in a coma..."
Everyone looked at each other, and based on King Yan's description of the high priest, based on the character of the high priest, Da Ming probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"Without my life, there is still a Zuohou."
"Leave Zuohou to me!" Lao Mumu waved the wooden knife in his hand.
"Are you okay? Don't hold on!" Mo Qianji looked at the old wood for a while.
"No problem. If you don't believe me, just ask Doctor Magpie."
Mo Qianji looked at Divine Doctor Que, who nodded without any concealment and replied: "If you are just facing Zuo Hou, then it won't be a problem."
"Did you forget something?" Mr. Ying reminded abruptly, "Although the wise kings on the left and right haven't appeared yet, it doesn't mean they don't exist."
Everyone present was stunned. yes! How come you forgot this?
Speaking of forgetting, King Yan found that he finally remembered something he had never thought of:
"Where's Mr. Su?"
…
Eastern Region, the northern border of Chu State.
"How's the situation there, teacher?" Beside a pond, a one-armed old man was fishing when a shadow appeared out of thin air on the water.
"The rats of Chu State can't hold on any longer." The one-armed old man said while yawning, "Fortunately, your two apprentices can keep up the good work and can hold off a little longer."
"It's good that the teacher can control it."
"I know about this." The laziness on the one-armed old man's face disappeared in an instant, "But to be honest, I don't want my other arm to be handed over to one of my own!"
"Teacher should also pay attention to what's happening in the north." Finding that the atmosphere was not right, Shadow hurriedly changed the topic.
"Not down!" The one-armed old man changed his position to make himself more comfortable. "King Yan is actually being humble. His ancestors have been there for generations, and he knows as much as I, an old guy, know."
"Didn't the teacher find anything interesting?"
"What?" The one-armed old man seemed to know nothing. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. He was just waiting for his disciple's answer.
"During King Wu's campaign against Zhou, the key to King Wu's victory was that he borrowed the luck from the Northern Territory. After sweeping across Liuhe, he returned the luck from the Northern Territory."
"Then what?" The one-armed old man seemed careless, but in fact, he secretly glanced to the northeast while adjusting his posture.
"The 'Kyushu Plan' and King Wu's conquest of Zhou, two events that spanned nearly seven hundred years, actually involved a key figure." Shadow said word by word, his voice getting colder and colder.
"Yes!" The one-armed old man laughed coldly, "I'm also surprised. If it weren't for the inside story of King Wu's attack on Zhou, we might still be in the dark!"
…
Eastern region, northern border.
"I hope I didn't scare everyone." The slovenly Mr. Su suddenly appeared out of thin air with the exhausted wild wolf, "I was really thirsty and hungry, so I came out to find Marquis Yan... Oh no! It's my fault! I came here to find you. King Yan wants something to eat."
"Tie him up." King Yan didn't pay much attention to the wild wolf, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Su."
"It's nothing." Mr. Su turned to Mr. Ying and said, "Mr. Ying, I have long admired you. As far as I know, King Youxian is on his way here and won't be able to make it for a while."
"What about King Zuo Xian?" Mr. Ying knew Huaigu's power and did not question him. Instead, he asked another question that everyone was eager to know.
"Not found!" Mr. Su shook his head, "Currently, only the true identity of King Youxian has been found, and nothing else is known."
"What a pity." Everyone shook their heads, but it was not easy to be able to pinpoint the movements of one of them, and that person was King You Xian. As for King Zuo Xian, he should be more careful.
After all, the top priority right now is still the unknown high priest!
