No. 119: Among the thousands of heroes in the world, what is the first level of romance

On an ancient continent, there is a peculiar kind of sumac tree. When it matures, the bark cracks due to sun exposure, and the sap from the trunk comes out, giving off a colorful glow in the sunlight.

When the primitive inhabitants of this continent saw such a lacquer tree, they thought it was a gift from the gods, so they applied the juice of the lacquer tree to their bodies in order to obtain the protection of the gods. Thus, a colorful civilization began to evolve.

But on this continent there are not only beautiful sumac trees, but also sinister cattails. These grasses cover the surface of the water, obscuring everything underneath the water, creating a wonderful trap in nature. Life is inseparable from water, and whenever the primitive inhabitants of the continent approach the water's edge, fierce beasts will pounce from the bottom of the water, drag them into the water and tear them apart.

The wheel of life never stops, and as the primitive inhabitants grow, the sumac tree is no longer sacred, and the grass is no longer sinister, they are just one stroke in the grand picture of nature. As a result, they are gradually forgotten, but they are always revisited at some point.

The sumac tree embellishes everything, including the planet and the life on the planet, it symbolizes the persistence of color life and the yearning for a better future, while the cattail grass always buries the darkness and danger under the body, revealing only a calm water, it symbolizes disguise and falsehood, and constantly reminds the life on this planet, under the brilliant light of the lacquer tree, there is the abyss of death.

Suddenly, one day, someone combined the lacquer tree and the pampas grass to form the "Qi Pu Wutang", which means the union of the two consciousnesses, and at the same time connects more lives. Therefore, under the guidance of these two consciousnesses, the people of Qipu Wutang began to explore the truth of the world and the meaning of life.

Until now, Qipu Wutang has become the supreme institution of learning, representing the pioneer of the times. It educates, seeks knowledge, and spreads truth, and in the Hungarian Empire, it has the same high authority as the royal family. Whether it was the rulers of the Hungarian Empire or the elites of all social strata, they almost all came from Qi Puwutang.

Qi Pu Wutang has reached its heyday, it is not a country, but it has the will of a country, it is only a microcosm of an era, but it has become the most powerful representative of this era. However, the development of all things in the world has its own laws, and the fall of Qipu Wutang only happened overnight.

Outside a majestic and quaint palace, all the 8,000 teachers and disciples of Qipu Wutang gathered here, and they were about to give up the great cause they had been sticking to for thousands of years and devote themselves to an earth-shattering change.

A few days ago, Qi Puwutang suddenly announced to the public that they would no longer recruit disciples and would leave the Hungarian Empire. The news spread like thunder across the Hungarian Empire, and no one knew why, but the turmoil and unrest were already brewing in the shadows.

After receiving the news, the modern ruler of the Hung Er Empire, Hun Liephi II, immediately sent the invincible commander of the empire's prestige to lead 50,000 elite iron cavalry to surround the always transcendent Qi Pu Wutang. At this moment, in the Hungarian Empire, the so-called "invincible battle array", the killer sheep is leading thousands of iron horses to ride under the mountain gate of Qi Pu Wutang, worshipping the mountain to see the old master of Qi Pu Wu Tang.

The originally peaceful and peaceful Qipu Wutang was shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere, and the six thousand masters and disciples located in the square were either confused and uneasy, while others looked resolute, but they all waited quietly here—waiting for the most important person and the final moment to come.

It didn't take long for the spiritual leader of Qi Pu Wutang, Old Master, to lead dozens of disciples out of the main hall. When the old master faced the many teachers and disciples of the Qi Pu Wutang below, his originally cloudy eyes immediately became clear, and then he slowly spoke:

"For thousands of years, we have been in the ministry and have produced many people for this land, but now is the time for a change. Maybe you don't understand what we're going to do, but that's our mission and it's our profession that shines. ”

After saying such a short word, the old master walked down the high platform, passed through the crowd in the square, and walked alone to the mountain gate. His beard is white and old, but his steps are steady, firm as an ancient pine.

No one knew how old the old master was, and many people had never seen him, but everyone had a high respect for the old master, and they would surely follow him. But at the same time, they also knew very well that the moment the old master walked out of the mountain gate, it was when they began to flee.

Finally, the old master stepped out of the mountain gate and looked at the killer sheep on the horse. Regarding the killing that the killer sheep was about to bring, the old master did not show a trace of anger, but looked indifferently at the ironclad cavalry in front of him.

"Old Master, what do you mean by Qi Pu Wutang's move?" asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean by leading troops to surround my mountain gate?" the old master asked rhetorically. He knew that Henrephia II was listening to their conversation, and that the final outcome would be up to Henilepho II to decide, so there were some things he had to say in front of everyone.

"Qi Pu Wutang has always been the Beidou Pearl of our empire, and the successive Hun emperors have also revered Qi Pu Wutang, and they dare not have the slightest offense, why do you want to lead Qi Pu Wutang out of the empire?"

"Reverence, don't you dare to offend in the slightest, and what about yourself and the soldiers around you?"

Without the order of Hun Liefei II, these people of Qi Puwutang are not his enemies for the time being, and he has no right to make any decisions, but it is an indisputable fact to lead troops to surround the mountain gate.

"Qi Puwutang has never belonged to the Hun Empire, but you people have never thought so. You have always felt that Qi Pu Wutang should serve you and become a puppet in your hands, but how could you have thought about the many disciples here?"

Killer Yang snorted coldly and did not speak, it was not that he had nothing to say, but there were many things that could not be said in a word, after all, Hureeu II was in the imperial capital watching any disturbances here. Killing Moyang knew very well in his heart: under the prosperous appearance of the Hun Empire in recent years, many things have quietly changed, at least many of the soldiers he recruits every year are not as good as before, so all the veterans he brought this time are veterans who have followed him for many years.

"In a primeval forest, every tree can grow freely in the sun, and the forest doesn't require them to grow into anything, so there are many towering trees. The old master said slowly.

"But a forest can't be full of towering trees, and if you think so, you're really living up to your reputation. Killer Sheep stared at the old master and said.

After hearing this, the old master first smiled lightly, and then said:

"If I had such thoughts, do you think the people behind me would still follow me? You also came out of here, and you should know very well what Qi Pu Wutang is like. ”

"It is precisely because I know what Qi Puwutang looks like, so I advise you to turn back immediately, otherwise, you know the consequences very well. Killer said coldly.

"If a forest is no longer fertile and sunny, there will be fewer and fewer towering trees. The towering trees that you think are not as tall as you think. ”

"Whatever you want, but we are warriors who obey orders. Again, the killer was threatening, he didn't want things to get out of hand.

"Do you think we are enemies? No, our enemies are not you and the Hung Man Empire behind you. Our enemies are more powerful than the Hungarian Empire, they are intangible things, invisible and intangible, but they affect us all the time. ”

"Our enemies are rigid ideas, narrow ideas, pedantic prejudices, selfish habits, and dark clouds that hold down the sky. As the old master spoke, he began to walk step by step towards the killer.

"I don't care what your enemy is, stop at once. The killer roared fiercely. The cavalry behind him had already raised their weapons and were ready to charge at any moment.

"Those who can resist these invisible things are the real heroes, and Qipu Wutang has never lacked heroes. ”

"In the territory of our Hung Man Empire, there have never been heroes, and there is no need for heroes. The roar of Hurepho II came from the communicator beside the killer.

"Kill me. In the end, Phorephis II uttered only these three cold words.

"Look, that's where you are cruel, and if you touch your interests at the slightest touch, you'll immediately turn into a different face. Now you understand? That's why Qi Puwutang wanted to break away from the Hungarian Empire, even though it would have to go through some bloodshed and sacrifice. The old master said softly.

"From now on, Qi Pu Wu Tang will be independent of any empire, and any disciple of Qi Pu Wu Tang will be independent of the world, so that they will be free to follow what they have learned. After the old master finished speaking, a wooden sword appeared in his hand, and then he changed from a calm old man with kind eyebrows to a murderous swordsman in an instant, and took the lead in rushing towards the invincible killer sheep in the battle array.

The claim that the battle array was invincible was not in vain, and the cavalry under his command had already lined up and launched an encirclement and suppression of the division commander and disciples who rushed out of the Qi Pu Wutang. And he himself faced the old master alone, and if he could not bring the old master's head back, then everything he had now would be gone.

Shouts of killing rang out, and the smell of blood soon permeated this originally sacred and quaint place. Some nimble warriors had already set their sights on the plaque hanging on the gate of Qipuwutang Mountain, which I don't know how long it had existed: as long as anyone took that plaque, then countless glory and wealth would follow.

Several of the warriors approaching the plaque had blood-red eyes, and their greed needed no concealment. But just as someone was about to touch the plaque, a cold light burst through the air, tearing all the dozens of warriors near the plaque, and bright red blood splattered onto the ancient plaque.

The master of the cold light was a young man with a spear in his hand, he looked at the bloody battlefield around him, and his eyes projected a fierce killing intent that these Qi Pu Wutang masters and disciples should not have appeared in such a scene.

"Grab him and grab the plaque. When one of the soldiers saw the young man take off the plaque and carry it on his shoulder, he immediately shouted frantically.

The young man snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand roared out like a dragon going out to sea, bringing up billowing smoke and dust, and rushed straight forward unstoppably, he wanted to leave this bloody place with this plaque.

But the plaque was a godsend to the warriors around them, and they frantically tore at the roaring dragon like hungry wolves. But Jiaolong is a divine creature in the clouds, and he finally fought his way through the raging wolves, and left with this heavy plaque.

On a steep canyon far away from the gate of Qipuwutang Mountain, a young man with flowing white hair was waiting anxiously. He had never been more nervous than he was now, and it wasn't until he saw a familiar figure rushing towards him in the billowing smoke and dust that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bang". The man with the spear slammed the plaque on his shoulder to the top of the cliff and began to deal with his shocking wounds silently.

"Are you alright?" asked the white-haired man as he walked over and asked with concern.

"I can't die yet, this broken plaque almost killed Lao Tzu. The man with the spear said viciously.

"Since you can't die, why are you throwing it?" the white-haired man glared at the speared man, then hurriedly walked over to pick up the plaque, and then carefully wiped the blood and dust from it.

"Is it worth it? Lao Tzu's life can't even compare to a broken plaque?" the spearman said to the white-haired man with a displeasure, briefly tending to the wound on his body.

"That's not what you say, of course your life is much more valuable than it. But now that you have snatched it back, you should cherish it, and there is nothing more precious than it in this land. The long-haired man looked at the plaque in his hand, his eyes full of pride.

"Hmph, hasn't the third one come yet?" asked the spearman man.

"It should be soon, his job is much harder than yours. ”

As the white-haired man spoke, another figure leaped up from below the cliff. The man was holding a blood-dripping sword in his hand, he was not very old, and he was also covered in blood.

The three of them are the three most famous division commanders of Qipu Wutang's contemporary era, and each has a resounding name outside, and people outside generally call them "white-haired nameless", "spear void" and "Qingfeng ghost".

"Senior brother, I have already disposed of the old master's body. The last ghost to come said.

"Alas, the old master is getting old, why can't he see it? I have to set an example for myself and give an explanation to the world, but in the end, he will die a bad death when he is old. If any of our brothers and sisters make a move, that invincible slaughterer will never want to return to the imperial capital to enjoy his glory and wealth. "Void spoke with a look of cunning and cynicism.

"Shut up. The youngest ghost shouted at the second senior brother void, and then he looked at the senior brother nameless:

"What do we do now?"

"There are three things that we need to do urgently, the first is to bring the dozens of children I brought out of the Qipu Wutang to a safe place, the second is to have someone stay here to intercept the pursuers, and the third is to assassinate Hurepho II. Nameless said in a deep voice.

"That fat pig of Hun Liephi II does not remember the contribution of our martial arts to the empire at all, he is so cruel and ruthless, and he should be killed. I got it. Void lifted the spear in his hand.

"Do you think I can't kill him?" Ghost Yi turned to look into the void.

"Well, aren't you about to join the royal family?" Hun Liepho II is planning to marry his sister to you......" Void said with a sneer.

"I want to rely on my own three-foot Qingfeng to drink horses and rivers and lakes, where will I pay attention to them? Don't give me nonsense. Ghost's cold eyes stared at the void.

"Okay, none of these three things are as easy, and the three of us will draw lots to decide. The white-haired nameless said as he carved three words on the three stone tablets with his fingers, and then the three stone tablets flew in the air and landed on the ground in front of them.

"Poof". With a flick of his fingers, one of the stone tablets flipped over, and the word "kill" was written on it.

"Humlie II is mine. Ghost Yi sneered.

"Alas, it seems that you are destined to be rich and noble, and you are destined to have no chance with the Hungarian royal family. The Void also uncovered a stone tablet with a "barricade" written on it. Word"

"Then this canyon is mine, let's let the senior brother take those little ghosts away. Void said with a smile.

"I'll take those children out of this planet and go in search of the Troubles. Nameless said as he uncovered the third stone shard, which read, "Go."

"Chaotic Domain, ethereal place, does it really exist?" the Void frowned.

"It should exist, but no one on our planet has found it yet. If you two are lucky enough to survive, come to us in the Chaos Realm. ”

"It's too dangerous for you to go to such a dangerous place in the Chaos Domain with dozens of imps alone. It's better to let the third child accompany you, it's the same whether the fat pig of Hun Liephi II is killed or not. The Void said.

"No, the old master explained this matter by his own death in front of the world: we are not rebelling. Therefore, the Hun Empire must also explain this, and the assassination of Hun Liepho II must not be changed. Nameless said.

"I still don't understand, why do we have such a radical approach, can't we start slowly?" said the Void suddenly.

"Because we are not the only civilization with intelligent life on this ring, we have found evidence of the existence of other intelligent life. Before colliding with other alien civilizations, the Hunnarian Empire must be prepared, and so must we, so the trip to the Chaos Realm cannot be changed either. Nameless said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Void and Ghost Yi both nodded, and they finally understood why the old master would lead Qi Pu Wutang to take such an earth-shattering step.

"Big brother, take care. After understanding what happened, Void and Ghost Yi stopped dabbling and immediately urged Nameless to set off.

Not long after the nameless gray hair disappeared, the roar of the earth could be heard in the distance. The Void and the Ghost looked at each other, and then the Void held the spear in his hand and resolutely jumped down the canyon. Ghost Yi jumped down from the other side of the canyon and went straight to the imperial capital of the Hungarian Empire like a wisp of green smoke.

Now Qi Pu Wutang is in chaos here, Hun Liefei II would never have imagined that Qi Pu Wutang's people would do it to him so soon, and only by surprise, Ghost Yi has a chance to succeed, so he can't stay to help the Void, time is very important to him.

And in the canyon, the void faced the thousands of iron horsemen who were rushing wildly, and he held his spear in his hand and shouted wildly:

"Come on, let Lao Tzu tell you, what is called - one husband should be closed, ten thousand people should not be opened. ”
