【Ancient Country iQue】 Act 1 [Meng Jian]

Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven had two sons.

The eldest son's name is "Xi", and the second son's name is "Shuo".

One symbolizes daytime and one represents night.

Later, "Shuo" was demoted to the mortal world by the Emperor for stealing the fruit of the sacred tree. Before leaving, "Shuo", with the help of the "divine servants" who followed him, took away the ancient holy sword "Yi Xin", which had the power of balance and unity.

And those who followed the "Shuo" gods, not long after his death, because the Emperor of Heaven found out that they secretly helped "Shuo" steal the sword, so they were expelled to the mortal world together. These expelled gods abandoned their old beliefs, incarnated as "fallen feathers", worshipped "Shuo" as a new god, and established the original Black Heaven Cult in the human world.

The Black Heaven Cult regards the gods led by the Emperor as old gods. And under the leadership of "Shuo", he cut off the interference of the old gods in the mortal world. They summoned the endless darkness to obscure the heavens, tempted the twelve divine beasts created by the Emperor with the blood of the ancient demon gods to kill each other, and rebuilt the faith of the human race in the process.

These black-clad priests walked through the haze of blood and fire, drawing strength from blood sacrifices and living sacrifices, rebelling against yin and yang, spreading suffering, and creating fanatical worship for the sake of all sentient beings.

When the Emperor learned of this, he sent his eldest son "Xi" and his heroic warriors to Fanchen to destroy "Shuo" and his apostles. This group of heroic warriors who followed the "Xi" to the world were the original Chiyan warriors.

"Xi", who came to the mortal world, held the blade of gods and demons given to him by the Emperor of Heaven, "Tianlongitudinal Fang", and started a protracted battle with "Shuo", who held the "Yixin Sword".

The mythical era of the past ended under the sword of "Shuo" and "Xi". In the end, "Xi" killed "Shuo", and "Shuo" also defeated "Xi", and the two brothers went to the same end, and their souls both fell into the reincarnation of the human world, and they were reincarnated as humans every few hundred years, and imperceptibly affected the ups and downs of the Terran dynasty. In the process, the "Heavenly Longitudinal Fang" and the "Yixin Sword" also rose and fell with the rise and fall of the Terran Dynasty, and they disappeared.

As for those heroic warriors who followed "Xi" down to earth, they chose to stay in the human world because they had not completely completed their mission, and continued the unended war with the Black Heaven Sect that was waiting for "Shuo" to be reborn.

——— Ancient Mythology———

Dongji Yan Kingdom, located in the southeast of Dongji, borders the three major vassal states of Shu, Xia and Han in the north, has diplomatic relations with Luo and Qi in the west, and faces Tianqiong City across the abyss sea in the south. There are dozens of small vassal states in the surrounding area, which benefit from the close trade between the Yan Kingdom and Tianqiong City.

Since the founding of the Ji Dynasty, due to the occupation of the rich land of the Central Plains, there have been constant wars all year round. Later, after the reign of Yanwen Gong, Yan Huan Gong and Yan Jing Gong, it coincided with the "Chiyan Rebellion" and "Tianhuo Tribulation" to create a good opportunity, so in the hands of Yan Yan Gong Chu Qiang, it rose to become the first big country in the southeast of the Ji Dynasty.

After the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation", the Dongji countries were in a scuffle, and there were occasional frictions between the Yan Kingdom and the Xia and Han countries on the territorial issue.

......

Dongji Wild Goose Country, Autumn Leaf Castle,

In front of the palace of Prince Yu, people come and go, and the traffic is busy.

Yu Gongzi Mansion, as one of the five princes of the Yan Kingdom, is also the residence of the lord of Akiba Castle. The Duke of Yanguo Chu has a total of five children. As the third son of the Yan Kingdom, Chu Yu is not only the lord of Autumn Leaf City, but also the famous Dongji general in the past.

However, later, because of some things, Chu Yu was unwilling to let his third son go to the battlefield, so he casually found an excuse to dismiss Chu Yu. Chu Yu, who couldn't understand the purpose of his father's move at the beginning, has changed his temperament greatly. Now, after taking off the general's robe, he has become a famous playboy in the country of Yan.

He likes to be vassal, and he is good at dancing and writing. From time to time, he would invite talented beauties in the city to recite poems in the mansion and stay awake all night, although he was often criticized, but Chu Yu never cared. The people in the house will regularly wipe the lintel of the Gongzi's mansion and clean the stairs to rejuvenate it and respond to its scene.

Outside the solemn Gongzi's Mansion, there is a steamed bun shop on Dongshi Street, and now, a young man has been sitting in this shop for almost a day. His eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the door of Yu Gongzi's mansion, as if he was afraid that he had missed something, and he didn't dare to relax a little when he looked at his serious appearance.

This naturally cold-skinned teenager, if you pay attention to your appearance, you can be regarded as a handsome guy. He gulped down the buns he had just ordered, gobbling them up as if he were eating the last meal. At this moment, behind the young man, a group of talkative diners happened to be discussing some major events in the world that had just happened recently.

"Have you heard? Yun Fan, the long-missing prince of the Su Kingdom, has returned, and he has also brought back the legendary divine beast, the Bloody Eye Frosthoof. ”

"I knew this news before you! It is said that the Chiyan warriors who had disappeared for more than 20 years and the remnants of the Sabu who had been exterminated back then were also regrouped by this Yun Fan. Now, these two tiger and wolf armies have been stationed in Mingyue City, the capital of the Jibei Shu Kingdom. ”

"Not long ago, the second war between Mexico and Shu just stopped, looking at this Yun Fan menacing, I think we will soon have another lively to watch!"

"I thought that the war between the Shu Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom would almost end because of the intervention of the Xia Kingdom, but I didn't expect that now Yun Fan's sudden return has made the whole thing more interesting. ”

"I think that Yun Fan, the prince of this long-cherished country, was also famous in the Eight Wilderness and shocked the world, and that momentum and fame are no less than Liang Yi, the uncle of our Dongji now!"

"After destroying the Xuanguo in about a month, he turned around and went to the outside of Jingwei Pass, picking up all the famous generals in Xiji, and taking on the heroes of the world! How many beauties fell in love with him, how many powerful people wanted to win him over, glory, wealth, fame and fortune, and the things that men in the world longed for were all put in front of him, and the result was ...... Alas, what a pity!"

"It's a pity what? It's a pity that he doesn't give a damn about that?"

"It's a pity that this Yun Fan didn't know why, let go of all this, didn't say goodbye, and went to Beilu alone!

"The country of Mexico and the country of Su have been grudging for a long time, but to be honest, if there is no first civil war between the country of Mexico and the country of the country, and the prelude to the melee of the countries of our Dongji, it is estimated that the Eight Pillars of Xiji will not take the opportunity to invade. ”

"Yes, a small fight between small countries is harmless, but a fight between a big country like Mexico and Su is the root that hurts our Dongji the most!"

"If this Yun Fan hadn't left at the beginning, Xi Ji would definitely not have dared to mess around like this, in my opinion, compared to our current Master Fang Bo, Yun Fan can make them Xiji more fearful!"

"If Yun Fan hadn't left at the beginning, there would definitely be nothing to do with our Uncle Fang Liang Yi now, okay! Compared with Liang Yi, who was born in cloth, Yun Fan is a royal family of the Su Kingdom, and the kingdom of the world will definitely value Yun Fan more!"

"But then again, now our Dongji Dynasty, if we can be ruled by Liang Yi and Yun Fan, presumably the Ji Dynasty will be unified, just around the corner!"

"This is difficult to say, there are no two tigers in the mountains, and there are no two days in the sky!"

As he spoke, a breeze swept through the young man's forehead, waking him up from a state of fascination. He glanced back at the few people talking behind him, who made eye contact with the young man at this time, and then realized that he should not talk about Liang Yi, the hero of Dongji today, on such an occasion, so he hid his face and left.

Meng Jian didn't mean anything else, he just glanced at them curiously. I don't know why, in the entire Yan Country, people's evaluation of Liang Yi is not as high as in other places in Dongji.

In his early years, Meng Jian admired Liang Yi very much, and he was determined to become a big hero like him, who could lead everyone to fight the same enemy and turn the tide at a critical moment.

However, today's Meng Jian accidentally heard a name "Yunfan" who seemed to have been more famous than Liang Yi in ——— bun shop, so the trajectory of his life deviated slightly from this moment.

Curiosity was deeply planted in Meng Jian's heart here, and he remembered the name, as well as these fragments of Yun Fan's deeds. When today's matter is over, Meng Jian plans to go to the teahouse to ask Mr. Yi, who is a storyteller, to see if there are any more stories about Yun Fan from Mr. Yi, who often tells stories.

When Meng Jian was a teenager, what he liked to listen to the most was the princely generals, who were vertical and horizontal. In Meng Jian's opinion at that time, the great husband of the world should carry a three-foot sword in his hand and make immortal meritorious achievements. And a teenager like Meng Jian at that time was only a lot more in Dongji.

These teenagers have big dreams,

Eager to make meritorious contributions to the marquis and worship the generals,

They made it their lifelong wish to fulfill the unification of the Ji Dynasty, and some people were even instilled with such thoughts by their families from birth. Meng Jian also longed to one day be able to participate in the great cause of the unification of the Ji Dynasty, even if he was just one of the unknown people.

However, after the master forced him to study medicine, this dream was gradually buried in Meng Jian's heart. Although the master did not teach him martial arts, Meng Jian still secretly learned some moves when his master and sister were martial arts, and under continuous practice and self-exploration, he found another way.

Today's Meng Jian is already a sixth-order martial artist.

There are fourteen levels of martial arts in the world, and each level is divided into the early stage, middle stage, and peak. The first ten orders are the realm of martial arts, focusing on the refinement of the body, and the last four orders are the realm of mental martial arts, and the pursuit of spiritual cultivation has always been unattainable!

Normally, there is basically no situation in martial arts below the ninth order where one force will drop ten guilds, unless with the help of some anti-heaven divine weapon, or some strange secret technique, there can be a cross-level kill.

Like the Blood Tiger Rider of the Xia Kingdom, the Blue Wolf Rider and the Cold Armor Army of the Shu Kingdom, the White Feather Night Raven of the Mo Kingdom, and the Phoenix Feather Armor of the Qi Kingdom, they are basically martial artists at the early level of the ninth order, they are equipped with sophisticated equipment and practice specific mental methods, even in the face of the middle of the tenth order, they can also have a relationship.

The Goose Feather Army of the Wild Goose Country does not accept Boy Scouts, and must be an adult and reach the middle of the ninth order to be eligible to sign up. It can be said that the requirements for the Yanyu Army to enlist in the army are the strictest in the entire Dongji, and there is no one, but relatively speaking, its treatment is also the best.

In the autumn wind, there is always a little melancholy inadvertently. Meng Jian didn't know how long she would have to sit in this bun shop and wait. At this time, a little fat baby who had just gotten out of school sat in front of Meng Jian, covering part of his vision.

Meng Jian ate the buns carelessly, and the child was so frightened by Meng Jian's hideous eating appearance that he forgot what he was going to do for a while, and sat in place like a stone statue.

Faced with this fat doll who blocked his vision and stared at himself without speaking, Meng Jian, who was already a little irritable, suddenly lost his patience, so he said in an extremely ruthless tone, and fiercely attacked this little fat baby who didn't understand anything: "What do you see, little brat, haven't you seen eating steamed buns? Look again! Are you still watching? Are you addicted? Believe it or not, I'm beating you!"

The little fat baby was so fierce by him, and then cried. After a while, the little fat baby's family rushed to hear the sound. But seeing that Meng Jian was young, but alone, he wanted to be indiscriminate and start a rotten fire first, but he accidentally found that Meng Jian's waist was hidden in something wrapped in linen cloth like a sword.

Intuition told the family of the little fat baby that the man in front of him was not a good type, so he made amends to Meng Jian for not doing it, and then before Meng Jian could react, the little fat baby's family took the little fat baby away, and the matter was over. No one would bother Meng Jian anymore now.

At about dusk, a horse-drawn carriage painted with black paint and wood and carved axles with wind unicorn totems appeared on the lively Dongshi Street. This is the car of Chu Yu, the third son of the wild goose, and everyone in the entire Autumn Leaves City knows about it. Normally, Chu Yu was not the only one sitting in the carriage.

As the so-called BMW is equipped with a good saddle, the fragrant car is given to the beauty.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the carriage finally slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Yugongzi Mansion with the whips dropped by the servants. When the subordinates heard the sound, they set up the stools to welcome the return of the son Chuyu.

At this time, Meng Jian, who was eating steamed buns from a steamed bun shop, clenched the sword wrapped in a rag, threw a few copper plates on the table before leaving, and took away a hat from unknown place in the store and put it on his head. Meng Jian lowered his hat and quickly walked through the crowded crowd in the distance between the bun shop and the Gongzi's mansion, and walked straight towards the carriage without saying a word.

Chu Yu, who was born in a princely family, has the demeanor of a prince of a family, and he was well-dressed, stepped on a horse stool and slowly got off the carriage, and then reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage and helped a woman dressed in black from the carriage.

This woman in black has bloodless skin, like white jade. Under the willow eyebrows, a pair of scarlet eyes seem to be breathtaking between the curling eyelashes. However, these eyes, in the eyes of the maid beside her, were full of majesty and oppression, so that the maid did not dare to look up at her as if she had made a mistake along the way.

With the support of the maid and Gongzi Yu, the woman slowly got out of the carriage and came to the door of Yu Gongzi's mansion. Meng Jian's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in the midst of the people coming and going, he removed the linen cloth wrapped in the antique long sword, and drew the sword out of the sheath cleanly, the edge flashed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the intention of killing in the evening breeze was far away.

The guards in front of Yu Gongzi's mansion realized the danger at the moment when Meng Jian pulled out his sword, so he shouted loudly: "There is an assassin!" while escorting Chu Yu and the woman in black into the mansion. But, after all, it was still a step too late.

In front of everyone's eyes, Meng Jian swung his sword and rose.

The fierce dust disturbed the eyebrows of the onlookers, and the sharp blade of the sword destroyed the carriage and forced the guards who were about to take Meng Jian back a few steps. After a long tear, the frightened horse knocked down several pedestrians, and took the carriage in two, and went away from the city. More and more guards and servants who watched the excitement poured out from the Gongzi's mansion and confronted Meng Jian in front of the Gongzi's mansion.

"Meng Jian, are you crazy?" In the face of Meng Jian's might, Gongzi Chuyu did not have the slightest fear and panic, but was a little angry, he hid the woman in black behind him and shouted to the young man, "Have you made enough trouble?

"Dog thief!" As he spoke, Meng Jian turned the hilt of the sword in his hand. In a flash, the guards who were blocking in front of Meng Jian landed one after another, and there was an even blood mouth on the back of their hands. Meng Jian said coldly, "If you don't want to die, let me get out of the way, otherwise today next year, I will let your grave grow grass!"

The guards looked at each other, not daring to step forward or retreat.

The woman in black pretended to be under the auspices here, and quietly hid behind the men, like a poisonous snake wandering in the shadows, silently looking at Meng Jian, who was angry at this time. For some reason, it was only the first time they met, but the woman in black had a delusion of déjà vu about this young man, so she inadvertently looked at him a few more times.

Facing more and more onlookers, Chu Yu, who was originally standing behind the guards, slowly walked in front of the people. At this time, it was the best time for Chu Yu to show his heroism in front of the frightened woman in black.

The sunset at dusk, hanging on the horizon, seemed to not want to miss this interesting dispute, so it refused to leave. The onlookers didn't know the truth, so they discussed a lot, thinking that it was Yu Gongzi who caused some kind of debt, which caused the enemy to seek revenge.

"Do you have anything else to say. At this time, Meng Jian had been waiting for Chu Yu for a day, and this sentence had been brewing in his heart for a long time, just waiting for this moment. However, before he could enjoy this moment of comfort, the next moment, something unexpected happened.

"It's too late for you to leave now. Chu Yu pulled out a sharp long knife from the waist of the guard beside him, pointing at Meng Jian, who was in the limelight at this time. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Meng Jian: "Are you scaring me?"

Chu Yu ignored Meng Jian's provocation.

When this seemingly merry second son of the Yan Kingdom held the handle of the knife with his hands that were dancing and inky, the one standing in front of Meng Jian was no longer the playboy in the past, but another person. The famous general of Dongji who once led the army of the Yan Kingdom and galloped the world!

Everyone was at that moment, holding their breath.

"Suffer death!!" Meng Jian shouted, swinging his sword and attacking. I saw a sword of white light slashing in front of him, and before Meng Jian could hesitate, sparks burst out, blood splashed everywhere, the cold light flashed, and the sword fell to the ground.

"What a fast knife!"

Everyone exclaimed, but saw Meng Jian at this time, his arm slowly dripping blood, and his face was full of stunned, as if he couldn't believe that everything that had just happened was true. No one could see clearly how the man named Chu Yu wielded the knife, but everyone knew that at this moment, Meng Jian was defeated.

"You can't even hold your own sword, and you still want to kill me?" Chu Yu submerged the knife into the scabbard of the guards beside him, and said coldly on his side. "Let you go for the time being this time, don't care about you disturbing my distinguished guests in front of my house, and next time, I won't look at anyone's feelings, get out. ”

Meng Jian looked at the sword that fell to the ground, and his face turned pale. Before he came back to his senses, a group of family members from the Mansion of the Emperor of Yu rushed up from the mansion, beat him violently, and then tied him up in front of everyone, as if he was tying up an animal.

"You, go and get the frightened horse back, and don't let it hurt anyone again, or you'll have a headache then." You, go find a carriage and come over, and the rest of you, a few of you will clean up the mess at the door, and you will take care of this kid for me, and when the carriage comes, carry him to the carriage and take it away. Liu Neng, the housekeeper of Gongzi's Mansion, was talking and talking, and suddenly became angry, so he went up and kicked Meng Jian twice, "Stinky boy, if you have nothing to do, you can go to Gongzi's Mansion to make trouble, and you can bring me a lot of trouble every time!"

Meng Jian glared at Liu Neng and didn't speak.

"Somebody, get me a sack and put him on. Liu Neng was so angry, "I was angry when I looked at him." ”

After the servants of the Gongzi's Mansion tied up Meng Jian's flowers, Liu Neng, the housekeeper of the Gongzi's Mansion, personally put on a black hood for Meng Jian, and then made up a few more feet.

Meng Jian yelled, "Don't touch me!"

As a result, a group of people were beaten up. Seeing this, Chu Yu stepped forward to stop these servants of his, as if he didn't want to do anything about it. Soon, a carriage specially prepared for Meng Jian arranged Meng Jian's fate shortly after Chu Yu finished speaking.

"Chu Yu, if you don't kill me today, I'll come back tomorrow!"

"Take him away, take him away, bad luck. These were the last words Meng Jian heard in Yu Gongzi's Mansion, and then he lost consciousness under the heavy blows of the evil servants in the mansion.

"Who is this man? The woman in black who had been hiding behind Chu Yu whispered softly in his ear, and after Chu Yu heard the call of the woman in black, the coldness in her eyes turned into tenderness in the next moment. "A madman, let the Ziling girl frighten. ”

The woman in black, who was called Ziling by Chu Yu, looked at the carriage carrying Meng Jian and gradually moving away, a little distracted. The night is approaching, the evening breeze is slightly cool, the pedestrians are gradually dissipated by the hustle and bustle of the distance, and the sunset is finally far from the horizon, and the moonlight is quietly visiting.

In the scarlet eyes, there is endless depth. When all the dust settled, this woman named Ziling also walked into the deep mansion of Prince Yu with the support of Chu Yu.

After a bumpy ride, the carriage arrived at the most prosperous downtown of Akiba. Meng Jian, who was in a coma, was woken up by the subordinates of Yu Gongzi's Mansion at this time, and then threw him on the crowded street. Before throwing it, everyone also sprayed Meng Jian's face with spittle, as if to vent the unhappiness of being arranged for such drudgery.

The severe pain made Meng Jian a little trance, when the carriage and the laughter gradually drifted away, on the unfamiliar street, in the curiosity and contempt of the people around him, Meng Jian ushered in the loneliness and humiliation of the loser.

"Chu Yu !!!" the young man shouted, roaring like a lion in Autumn Leaves City in the night. "I'm going to kill you!"

Sadly, his madness and anger seemed to those around him to be nothing more than the pitiful screams and tiresome noises of a madman. The wounds he had suffered from the previous sword clash had slowly scabbed over at this time. The sleeves of his shirt were torn and his sword was lost. He looked like a lost dog.

If there was a broken bowl in front of Meng Jian at this time, I think everyone would think that he was a beggar, or the kind of beggar who was not conscious.
