Chapter 1: The Blizzard Has Arrived
The cold wind blew the snowflakes falling from the thick clouds. At the end of the plain covered in silver, there was a fifteen-person cavalry team, which was marching towards the Hanlan Mountains in the face of the cold wind and blizzard, the white cloak of the cavalry blown by the cold wind was grinning, and the silver armor was still emitting silver light in this moonless night, and the chest of each cavalryman's armor was engraved with a blooming sunflower, and the lines of the sunflower were emitting a golden light, which was particularly dazzling in this night. And the mount was a white hedgehog demon beast, the hedgehog was also covered with silver armor of the same material, a black horn protruded into the sky, and fifteen hedgehogs were tall and fierce. This heavily armed cavalry was holy but with a hint of bloody murder.
On this snowstorm night, Hanlan Mountain seems to have no life. It is silent and mysterious at the moment. There are a total of 100,000 mountain ranges in the Hanlan Mountains, and there is a towering mountain range called Tongtian Mountain in the middle of the Hanlan Mountain System, and there is a stone cylinder called the Hanlan Mountain Pillar at the top of the Tongtian Mountain, which is called the pillar of the continent. This stone pillar is not high but does not see the top, and the deep does not see the root, so there is a folk legend that the pillar of Hanlan Mountain is the pillar of the earth that connects the Heavenly Palace and the Nine Netherworlds. Although the Hanlan Mountains are full of monsters, they are not a deserted place, and there are Jiang tribesmen who have lived here for generations at the foot of the Tai'an Mountains, the outermost part of the Hanlan Mountains. Under tonight's blizzard, there is the Jiang tribe but did not fall asleep as early as usual.
The clansmen of the Jiang clan gathered outside a huge tent in the center of the camp, waiting in the face of the blizzard. Among them, a man standing at the front of the crowd, in his thirties, had an angular face like a statue, and his body was erect, but there was no snowflake on his body, as if he was blocked by a layer of air film. On weekdays, his eyes were resolute and calm when he looked at the powerful demon beasts in the Hanlan Mountain System, but at this moment, there was a trace of anxiety and panic, as well as a trace of expectation.
A baby's cry pierced the night sky, and the crowd of people who were anxiously waiting for the discussion broke out into a burst of cheers, and all the emotions in the eyes of the man at the head turned into joy, and the surrounding crowd happily greeted him.
The curtain of the huge tent was lifted, and a woman about twenty years old dressed in a white linen dress walked out, holding a swaddling cloth in her arms, with joy on her face, walking towards the man standing at the front of the crowd, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, the ancestors of our tribe bless, Sister Qin, mother and son are safe." Congratulations on getting a big fat boy, and you will definitely be a big hero like you in the future, and you will lead me to become stronger with the Jiang clan. ”
Jiang Ye spread out his big thick hand, took the swaddling clothes in the woman's hand, looked at this little guy who was surrounded by sturdy and sturdy, and only leaked a small head, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and said: "My Jiang Ye's son, I don't know if he will be a hero in the future, but he will definitely be a man who stands up to the sky." Looking at his son with flashing eyes in his swaddling clothes, not crying or making trouble, Jiang Ye was inexplicably excited. Someone next to him shouted: "Brother Night, give the child a name!"
Jiang Ye looked at the baby in his arms with joy, and looked up at the sky, the snow was still drifting, the sky was gloomy, and he couldn't see the hour, but he thought that it was almost the dawn. Jiang Ye thought for a while and said, "Little guy, your name is Jiang Chen! Come at the end of the night, wherever you go in the future, others will know that you are my Jiang Ye's seed." After speaking, he was amused by his own words first, and laughed, and everyone around him also laughed, teasing Jiang Ye.
The little guy was probably frightened by the laughter of everyone, and instantly opened his little mouth and cried. The woman closest to Jiang Ye laughed and slapped him, took the little guy from his arms, and carried the little guy now named Jiang Chen back to the big camp.
Jiang Ye looked up at the sky, and muttered: "This winter is coming earlier and earlier, this year is a month earlier than last year, I hope Chen'er can grow up healthy!" Then he turned his head and said to everyone: "Uncles and brothers, Qin'er has given birth safely, let's go back first, and I will invite everyone to drink tomorrow." ”
After everyone said hello to Jiang Ye, they prepared to go back to their respective homes. But a person walked out of the crowd, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if he had seen all the ways of the world. There was a little blood stain on the white robe, and there was a half-large flame bear demon beast that had died on his back, and he came to Jiang Ye with steady steps. Seeing this situation, everyone also stopped returning home, and looked at Fifth Uncle Jiang, who was the most senior in the tribe for some reason, but the most unkempt. Jiang Ye asked, "Fifth Uncle, why did you still go into the mountains to hunt Yan Xiong in this weather?"
Fifth Uncle Jiang smiled and said: "Night boy, today the piano girl baby gave birth, why don't you have to prepare some gifts! This bear skin will make a mattress for the little guy, and the bear meat will be shared with the big guy tomorrow." ”
Jiang Ye helped Fifth Uncle Jiang unload the Yan Xiong on his back and asked, "Fifth Uncle, are you not injured?"
Fifth Uncle Jiang patted his chest to indicate that it was okay, Jiang Ye was relieved, and then said to everyone: "Let's go back! Come and eat bear meat tomorrow, Fifth Uncle, you should go back early and rest!"
"Wait, I have something to say, Night Boy" Fifth Uncle Jiang hurriedly stopped everyone and said: "Night Boy, when I came back, I saw a cavalry coming in our direction, and the armor was like the Holy Horse Guard of the Apocalypse Temple. ”
After everyone heard the news for a short time, there was a lot of discussion, and someone asked: "Fifth Uncle, how can you be sure that it is the cavalry of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace?"
Jiang Ye heard his deceased father say some secret things about Fifth Uncle Jiang's invasion of the continent when he was young, and it was not strange to know the Holy Horse Guard of the Apocalypse Temple, and he also believed what Fifth Uncle Jiang said. I'm just curious about why the Holy Horse Guards of the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall came to this side of the Hanlan Mountains in this cold winter? Although the Kyushu Land of the Dihao Continent has a branch hall of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace, which is the place of faith of all people in the Dihao Continent, the Holy Horse Guard of the Heavenly Apocalypse Hall is unique to the Tianqi Temple in Zhongyang Prefecture, which is located in the center of the continent, and it takes a whole span of two states to reach here. Thinking of this, Jiang Ye felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart, and he secretly felt that this holy horse guard was coming for the Jiang tribe.
Just thinking about these questions, Jiang Ye's ears suddenly twitched, and he frowned and ordered: "It's already here, the women and children will return to the account, and the others will follow me to take a look." ”
A white-robed and silver-armored cavalry stopped solemnly and quietly outside the gate, and the knight led by him saw Jiang Ye and his party coming out, and ordered straightforwardly: "Hand over the newborn baby of your tribe." The voice seemed to be as cold and hard as a winter iron, and the whole body, including the face, was wrapped in silver armor, and the only thing that leaked was a pair of cold eyes without any emotion.
"Why?" Jiang Ye keenly felt the slightest murderous aura emanating from this cavalry, but still asked calmly. Secretly, he has opened his whole body's spiritual aperture, operated his spiritual energy, and prepared for a battle.
The knight at the head looked at Jiang Ye indifferently and said, "He will come with Blizzard, he will bring endless disasters to the continent, he is a person who was born abandoned by Di Hao." This is the prophecy of the Apocalypse Elders of the Apocalypse Temple after they receive the Apocalypse. ”
The rest of the Jiang tribe looked at Jiang Ye in unison, Jiang Ye's expression became shocked for a while, and the words of the person just now continued to echo in his heart. My newborn child is a forsaken, how is this possible? How can this be? This is absolutely impossible. Is the child I have only met once going to be taken away, or will he be killed directly in front of me? The air seemed to have frozen at this moment, and all the Jiang clan's subordinates were silent, waiting for Jiang Ye's decision. But at this time, Jiang Ye's heart was already in turmoil, as if he suddenly saw the little guy looking at him with a pair of small eyes, slowly getting farther and farther away from him, and finally Jiang Ye's mind turned into a blood-colored scene, and Jiang Ye's heart was in turmoil. This is absolutely impossible, even if the sky abandons it, as long as I don't give up Jiang Ye, no one can take my child away. The knight at the head looked at Jiang Ye, whose face was constantly changing, and did not speak again, but just looked at Jiang Ye indifferently, also waiting for his decision.
Jiang Ye's face was as dark as ice, and he was already quietly running the unique Jiang Clan's exercises to transmit the sound to Fifth Uncle Jiang: "Fifth Uncle, help me take Qin'er and the child away." ”
After Fifth Uncle Jiang heard Jiang Ye's transmission, he didn't hesitate, withdrew from the crowd without a trace, and went straight to the central tent. Fifth Uncle Jiang rushed into the tent faster than the wind, startling the two women who were teasing Jiang Chen in the tent at the moment. One of them was the woman who had just taken the child out for Jiang Ye to watch, and the other woman was Zhao Qin'er, who had just given birth to Jiang Chen, and her face looked like she was only twenty-five or six years old. Zhao Qin'er was half-lying on the bed at the moment with a pair of big smart eyes, happily looking at Jiang Chen in her arms, and was startled by the sudden rush in Fifth Uncle Jiang, Fifth Uncle Jiang didn't explain anything, and said hurriedly: "Qin Nu Baby, now immediately take Chen'er and me away, the night boy ordered." ”
"Fifth uncle, what's going on?" Zhao Qin'er asked suspiciously. Fifth Uncle Jiang said quickly: "I don't have time, I'll talk to you on the way." ”
Zhao Qin'er is also a resolute person, otherwise she would not have lost her prominent status, and followed Jiang Ye, who she loved at a glance, to this far place. At this time, she understood that the matter was urgent, otherwise Jiang Ye would not have asked Fifth Uncle Jiang to come, but she didn't even have time to say hello, and directly asked Fifth Uncle to take her and Chen'er away. As a cultivator, although he had just finished giving birth, he had already recovered a lot of physical strength at this time, so he immediately turned over and got out of bed, picked up the swaddling clothes on the bed, and said to the woman next to him: "Qian'er, you hurry up and go home! Don't go out tonight no matter what happens." Then he said, "Fifth uncle, where are we going now?"
Fifth Uncle Jiang hurriedly replied: "Let's go out first and then talk about the rest!" The two figures quietly went out from the back gate of the Jiang tribe, and the front door immediately shouted murder. The explosions of the aura hedge came and went.
Fifth Uncle Jiang took Zhao Qin'er and marched with difficulty in the direction of the Hanlan Mountains. When the two of them had just left the back door of the Jiang clan, the leader of the Heavenly Apocalypse Temple Holy Horse Guard at the front door had already discovered the whereabouts of the two of them leaving.
The indifferent leader of the Paladins said in a low voice, "Death, roadblocker. Then he led the remaining fourteen holy cavalry behind him to rush towards Jiang Ye and them in an arrow cluster formation.
Jiang Ye understood that the whereabouts of the fifth uncle and Qin'er had been discovered, and it seemed that they were going to fight hard. yelled: "No one else is allowed to do it." Then Jiang Ye turned all his spiritual power and summoned a glittering halberd from the hidden spirit aperture and killed the paladin guard.
But how could the clansmen of the Jiang clan let their patriarch fight alone! I don't know who took the lead in shouting "kill" in the crowd, and dozens of young men with the Jiang clan all launched a charge towards the paladite guard.
It was a bloody night, and the blood melted the ice and snow, and then slowly condensed and condensed into blood-red ice crystals, beautiful and tragic.
The battle was finally over, and the leader of the Holy Guards sat on his mount, condescendingly looking at Jiang Ye, who was lying on the ground and dying, and the blood-stained subordinates next to him said to him: "Report to Lord Guard, one person is seriously injured, and three people are slightly injured." The leader of the Paladin's voice said without the slightest wave: "Heal the wounded, and send the dead back to Emperor Hao." ”
Jiang Ye had already broken an arm, and his body was covered with bloody wounds, and those snowflakes that had been isolated from him had finally fallen on his body. Jiang Ye's most serious injury now was not the injuries outside his body, but the fact that most of his spiritual aperture had been destroyed. At this time, he was frowning and enduring the pain from the depths of his soul, staring at the cavalry leader with blood-red eyes, the cavalry leader looked at Jiang Ye coldly for a while before saying: "I didn't expect yours to have reached the Apocalypse Realm, but it has only just broken through, but I will still give you the respect you deserve, give you a good time, and send your soul back to heaven." After finishing speaking, he neatly summoned the standard cross sword of the Holy Knight Guard and pointed at Jiang Ye, and the holy light flowed out of the cross sword and drilled into Jiang Ye's body, and then after a burst of strong light erupted from the various points of Jiang Ye's body, his body had turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only a black halberd lying on the white snow. As for the rest of the Jiang clan's people lying on the ground, the leader didn't take a second look at them and left them to fend for themselves. Squinting his cold eyes, he looked up at the vast Hanlan Mountains, and the snow-covered mountains of the Hanlan Mountains seemed even deeper and unfathomable.
"The wounded, repair in place, leave a spiritual guard to take care of it, and the rest go with me. The leader galloped towards the Hanlan Mountains in the lead.
The stronger the wind at this time, the heavier the snow. Is this really an unquiet night, the wind, the sound of the heavens' wrath, the snow, the wrath that the heavens are spraying wantonly at this moment? But is it true that this vast world cannot accommodate a baby who has just descended into this world? It was born with the original sin of destroying the world? Where does the apocalypse come from?
