Chapter Eighty-Nine: Greed
"This river should be able to go straight to the border!" continued Black Hawk
The National Boundary River Chen Tian knew that it was a boundary river that was artificially dug between the Heavenly Sword States at the beginning. Thirty years ago, after Qiu Hao's transformation, the current situation was formed.
Through the border river, the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, the Tianyue Kingdom, the Tianqing Kingdom, and the Tianxuan Kingdom will be ruled by dividing the river! Those who cross the river without permission will be regarded as a provocation and can go to war!
Now it seems that the waters of this border river must have come from the underground river.
"What is the relationship between your Heavenly Sword Kingdom and Heavenly Xuan Kingdom in recent years?"
Now that he is in a foreign country, Chen Tian naturally has to be careful.
Qiu Fengyi muttered: "Among the four countries, only the Tianxuan Kingdom is the Heavenly Sword Country, but the two countries are only superficially passable. The neighboring three countries are very jealous of our Qiu family, especially my father, so even if diplomatic relations exist, the border is still unstable. ”
"To put it bluntly, it's your Heavenly Sword Kingdom that has made enemies everywhere!" Chen Tian smiled, this Heavenly Sword Country is also strange enough, the southwest border alone is in a state of hostility with the three neighboring countries.
I don't know how the diplomacy of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom is engaged.
Black Eagle explained aloud: "Actually, this can only be blamed on our Heavenly Sword Kingdom's strength growing too fast in recent years!"
"How?"
"Among the nine countries, the Heavenly Sword Kingdom is a new country, but the growth rate is amazing, a few decades may be a long time for mortals, but for a country, it is just a white horse, it is in these decades, the national strength of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom has grown to a level that all the surrounding countries are afraid of. After countless wars, there are many capable people and generals. The prestige spreads far and wide, and there are even faint signs of hegemony. ”
"This is unacceptable to those old countries, and they will definitely not allow this to happen, so almost all the neighboring countries are eyeing the Heavenly Sword Country. In recent years, a trend of convergence has been formed, and there are constant intrusions on the borders of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, although each other has its own victories and defeats, but on the whole, the Heavenly Sword Kingdom still has the upper hand in this situation!"
After listening to the explanation, Chen Tian was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Since the Heavenly Sword Kingdom has such strength, why not directly dominate it, if it continues like this, one day, it will cause the siege of all countries, and then the Heavenly Sword Kingdom will not be in danger of extinction?"
Qiu Fengyi glanced at Chen Tian: "Now the countries have formed a preliminary alliance, but there is no excuse, and the division is unknown, so they are all stationed." If our Heavenly Sword Kingdom really wants to implement hegemony, then it will give all countries an excuse to send troops. It's only going to get worse!"
Qiu Fengyi has been in the military camp all the year round, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she has a better understanding of the situation in the Nine Kingdoms.
The struggle between these countries is invisible and colorless, but every step is full of murderous motives, and it must be done carefully.
Chen Tian was awe-inspiring in his heart, these people in power played tricks every day, and they didn't know whether they were tired or not.
He suddenly thought of a series of things that had happened recently, from the murder in the army to the Shenji Battalion to the trapped bamboo forest, and he became more and more sure that there was an invisible hand behind all this.
Everything seemed to point directly to the death of General Qiu Cheng thirty years ago! Even Fang Da'er, a small pharmacist, was not spared.
"Hey, what's the fuss?"
Qiu Fengyi shook Chen Tian's arm and whispered. Chen Tian came back to his senses and suppressed his thoughts for the time being.
"Since the relationship is tense, we have to hurry back to the territory of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom. If it is discovered, I am afraid that it will be troublesome. ”
"Wait!" Qiu Fengyi stopped, looked at the two of them and said, "Wait for me to change my clothes and change my appearance." ”
"Don't say it now, you are the little prince of the Qiu family, the young master of the Jiuhua Army, and your face is too ostentatious with the autumn wind. The corners of Chen Tian's mouth twitched: "Presumably, Tianxuanguo doesn't mind having one more hostage." You don't want your father to be controlled by others, do you?"
"That's right!" Qiu Fengyi thought deeply and patted Chen Tian on the shoulder: "I have performed well in the past two days, continue to work hard." ”
Then he passed by, leaving a gust of incense wind rushing towards Chen Tian, which was not emitted by any spice, but the unique body fragrance of the virgin. Chen Tian looked at the back of the young girl who had just grown up. Secretly staggered.
"I'm a good girl, it's really a demon. There is no need to revert to the identity of Qiu Feng, this delicate face alone is already eye-catching! I hope to return as soon as possible. ”
The river where the three of them are located is in a mountain range, and according to Black Hawk, this place is called Baizhan Mountain, which can be regarded as the remnant vein of the Luoyun Mountain Range. Stretches for thousands of miles. At the end is where the border river is located. Once you get there and cross the river, you will be able to reach the Heavenly Sword Country. If it's fast, you can leave the Heavenly Xuan Kingdom in three or five days.
Fortunately, everyone is in a mountain range, and their whereabouts are relatively secretive. Reduced risk of exposure.
"This place is called Baizhan Mountain, is there any origin?"
"This mountain range divides the east and the west, and the terrain is dangerous, and it is a battleground for soldiers. Before the rise of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, this was a national border, and the Heavenly Xuan Kingdom had deployed heavy troops here. Defend against outsiders. After this mountain, there is a horse Pingchuan, stepping on the Hundred Battles Mountain, you can directly take the Tianxuan King City Tianxuan City! So every time there is a war, this must be one of the main battlefields, it is said that countless battles have taken place here for hundreds of years, and countless casualties have been inflicted. That's why it is called Baizhan Mountain!"
Black Eagle has a high level of cultivation, and his knowledge is also the most of the three. I know a lot of secrets and legends.
Indeed, along the way, the mountains are majestic and straight, but the vegetation on them is sparse, and the rocks are scorched black. There are not many birds and animals in the entire mountain range.
Occasionally, the white bones are half buried in the soil, and they are used as a place for ants and insects to live. The valley is still vaguely recognizable in the dilapidated ancient river channel, and now only a few murky puddles remain, which have become the breeding sustenance of flying insects.
"This place should have excellent feng shui, right?"
"Yes, according to the classics, there was originally a mother river here, which has raised countless generations, and there have been many strong and capable people who have walked out of this area. Who would have thought that since the emergence of the monarchy, powerful races have fought for power and land, causing a bloody storm. Countless tragic battles have made this place what it is today, and the bones of many loyal souls are buried here. Witnessing the vicissitudes of several generations. It has also made this place famous!"
Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it possible to coexist peacefully, why do we have to fight and kill?"
After all, he has not entered the WTO deeply, and his understanding of the sinister human heart is still limited.
"Hehe, human desires can never be satisfied. The more you get, the greater your greed! Taking the whole world into the palm of your hand and realizing unification is the lifelong pursuit of every monarch of the Nine Kingdoms! Deaths and injuries are just numbers in the eyes of all monarchs, and all they want is victory or defeat!"
Chen Tian fell silent, and all the experiences since he woke up were reflected in his mind.
When the four clans met in martial arts, in order to win the first place, they fought each other, which was nothing more than the temptation of the position of the city lord of Qingyang City.
In the Luoyun Tomb, Ge Baili and Tong Yuan are each profitable, and they are not greedy.
The Nine Kingdoms did not hesitate to go to war for the sake of an inch of land, and countless soldiers paid for it, ignoring the Li people, their lives were ruined, and they escaped from greed!
Martial arts monks absorb the aura of Qiankun, seize the creation of heaven and earth, strengthen themselves, improve their cultivation, and pursue the way of immortality. Isn't it greed? Along the way, it is not uncommon for cultivators to kill people and seize treasures.
But in the end, what can you get, it is nothing more than a billet of loess, except that life is a foreign thing after all. Is it to exchange blood for treasures to benefit the family, Ze is the descendants?......
His thoughts were flying and he was thinking a lot. But there was a firm voice in the bottom of his heart, and this was not what he wanted!
......
The night in the mountains was unusually dark
Bang......
Suddenly a large dark cloud appeared in the sky, lightning and thunder.
The rain was pouring down.
The darkness grew thicker all around.
Chen Tian and the others had already found a cave to rest!
Withering......
Thunder and lightning are dense in the clouds. Chen Tian glanced at the gloomy and oppressive sky, and his eyes showed a strange light.
"I'll go out for a while, you guys will wait here!"
Qiu Fengyi hurriedly stopped: "Hey, where are you going?"
"Come back before dawn. Chen Tian smiled bitterly, knowing this person's temperament, and reassured: "The black chick will protect you!"
After speaking, he glanced at Black Hawk meaningfully, and the latter couldn't help but worry when he heard the name Black Chicken. At this moment, his heart trembled even more when he looked at Chen Tian's eyes, because he felt that between the colorful mist surging in the dantian, a trace of extremely terrifying aura overflowed, causing the spiritual power in his body to be disordered for a while.
Knowing that this was a warning, he immediately slapped his chest wildly. Bang bang bang
"Don't worry, with my Black Eagle here, I will definitely protect the little county lord!"
Chen Tian smiled, gave Qiu Fengyi a reassuring look, stepped into the rain, and headed towards the top of the mountain.
Thunder continued to fall on the large and small hills of Baizhan Mountain, and the already blackened mountain rocks were darker in color, and a faint gray mist dissipated silently.
When Chen Tian came to the top of the mountain, it happened that a thunderbolt struck down and fell on his body, and his body trembled wildly, and it took a long time to dissolve. Although the black thunder in his body wanted to be countless more powerful than the thunder in the air, what he felt was only a trace after all, and the thunder that was split just now had an advantage in quantity.
Rumble......
Chen Tian hurriedly flashed, and a dense burst of lightning slashed down. He stared at the gray mist that dissipated with lightning.
"Dead air?"
He had seen a lot of this dead air in that ancient tomb, and he recognized it at a glance at this moment, compared to the two, it could only be a small thing here.
No wonder so many thunderbolts gathered here, it turned out to be dead air. Thunder is already restrained by the things of the Yin Spirit, and it must have sensed it, so it will gather here to eliminate the dead qi and prevent the breeding of ghosts.
However, the number of undead in this Hundred Battles Mountain is innumerable, but it has only condensed this thin dead qi, and the rich dead qi in the ancient tomb that can give birth to the soul revival grass should be the masterpiece of many undead.
Chen Tian calmed down, he didn't come here to feel nostalgic, but to use the power of thunder to cultivate, although he had black thunder in his body, but that kind of perception must always suppress the black thunder with the Five Elements Bead, and the perception was not complete.
At this moment, there is the right time and place to help, how can he miss it.
