Tibet thousands of miles away in Liangzhou, there is a place, adjacent to the Qiang barbarians, is the place of Fufeng Maoling, this place also lives in Longxi, Qiang and Han live together, since the Qiang rebellion, for decades, here is a place of right and wrong, in 181 AD, Maoling finally quelled the war for many years, temporarily obtained peace.

Longxi is located in the north of Qishan, southwest of Jieting, Qin Dynasty Zhi County, 2,220 miles west of Luoyang, eleven cities, with a population of 29,637. The east of this county is Weishui, and it was a battleground for soldiers during the war years.
Maoling is a bazaar at the foot of a hill in Longxi County, the weather is fine on this day, cloudless, because of the perennial war, there are scattered villages outside this bazaar, but the bazaar is very lively, the strange thing is that Maoling in peacetime, Han and Qiang live together, trade with each other, all barrier-free, the Han and Qiang people here speak each other, the Qiang people sell the ore, firewood, metal, leather and other things that the Han people need here, in exchange for the food and various seedlings they need, the Qiang people drive cattle and horses to shuttle in the bazaar, The sound of shouting and urging the livestock was endless, and it was so lively.
They seem to have forgotten the bloody storm of a year ago, killing each other, and enjoying the mutual benefits of today. But the relationship between the two ethnic groups here is only for profit, and there is little further intimacy.
There are still various wanted notices and conscription notices of the imperial court vaguely pasted on the corner, but they have long been covered by the noisy crowd, and the remaining ink has only left the imprint, leaving only the words "Zhang Huan, the general of the expedition to the west".
It was early in the afternoon, when a wind suddenly blew on the flat ground, which was very unusual, and the thatched grass on the roofs was blowing, and some of the vendors, seeing the sudden change in the sky, hurried to clean up their stalls, and some simply shouted loudly, so that the remaining living animals could be sold cheaply.
"What the hell is this weather, it will change!"
A large cloud gathered in the sky, and strangely enough, the dark cloud was followed by a red light, and the thin part of the cloud became red.
Seeing that it was about to rain, the people in the market hurriedly drove their cattle and sheep into the thatched huts on the street to escape the rain.
Within a few seconds, there was a thunderclap on weekdays, and the heavy rain poured out.
Everyone exclaimed, and the rain turned out to be blood-red.
Several people stretched out their hands out of the house, and the palms of their hands were instantly filled with rain, sniffed with their noses, and screamed in disgust, and the blood rain sprinkled on the ground.
"It smells of blood! It's really blood! ”
The crowd shouted, and some simply knelt down and bowed to the sky.
"Born with strange changes, there will be disasters!" A few Han people were at a loss, so they hurriedly closed the door and simply closed the door.
After a while, the houses on the street were tightly closed, but the blood rain became heavier and heavier.
In a short time, footsteps sounded in the street, and more than a dozen people heard the sound, and from the hut, these people were fast-paced, dressed in robes, and holding axes and hammers in their hands, and ran to the middle of the street, and shouted:
"What about people, what about people? Come out! ”
A few bold Han men opened the door and said, "Quick, quick, come in!" ”
A person pulled him over and said, "Quick, something happened in Zhangshan!" Check it out! ”
The man was dragged out of the house, drenched in blood, and said angrily, "What is more important than the rain of blood in this old day? ”
The man said: "Come here, these two things happened together, it's very strange!" ”
This remark caused many people to reopen the door and discuss: "What's the matter, what's going on over there in Zhangshan?" Aren't you quarrying over there? ”
The man hurriedly said: "It's where something happened, don't talk nonsense, come with us to see...... What about the mayor of the set? ”
An older man came out of the crowd and said, "I'm here!" A Qiang man came out of his side and said a word in Qiang.
Both of them were the mayors of the bazaar, responsible for fair trade between the Han and Qiang ethnic groups, and maintaining order in the bazaar.
"Let's go with you!" The mayor of Han Renji made a "please" action, and the man made a gesture, pulled his legs and walked to the back mountain.
Everyone braved the blood rain to come to Zhangshan not far away, but saw that the road up the mountain was full of quarrymen, and everyone quickly walked halfway up the mountain, here is a huge quarry, and several quarrymen stood in the rain.
The mayor of Ji, led by the man, separated the crowd and came to a bare stone, and screamed in surprise.
There was a person lying in the middle of the half of the stone that had been mined, as if he had grown in a stone, and his back was completely exposed at this time, and the blood rain continued to penetrate into the gap between his back and the stone.
"We originally thought it was a piece of jade, and after the whole piece was mined, we ...... The stonecutter here couldn't help but cut open the stone, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be ...... inside Press it, and the flesh is still soft! It seems like there's still a heartbeat! At this moment, the sky began to rain blood that had never been seen before! The man said with fear in his eyes, and he instinctively stayed away from the stone.
The two mayors of Ji glanced at each other, this kind of strange fact had never been heard of, and when they found that everyone was looking at them, the mayor of Han Ji paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and guessed: "This is a spirit stone, it must be that you and others have angered him by mining stones, so blood rain falls from the sky!" …… In my opinion, let's take this stone back first, so that it can be worshipped, and I hope he will not be angry with us! ”
Mayor Qiang Renji nodded in agreement.
When the quarrymen saw the mayor's speech, they dared not obey, so they picked more than a dozen men to tie the stone with hemp rope, passed through the flat pole, carried it on their shoulders and carried it down the mountain.
The other quarrymen followed, following the mayor back to see what was going on.
After a short time, the people returned to the market, but they saw many people lying on the side of the street, and as soon as the doors of the houses on both sides opened, people rushed out from the inside, and knelt down in front of the mayor, saying, "They, they are all dead!" What the hell is going on? ”
Only then did everyone realize that the people who were lying on the ground and shriveled were already dead, and the blood was running through their bodies, soaking a little swollen.
Mayor Ji exclaimed, "Why did someone die after I walked away for a while?" ”
One of them replied, "When you were gone, these men suddenly dried up, and for some reason they rushed out of the house, opened their mouths to drink the rain of blood, but soon fell down and died!! ”
As he was talking, the man suddenly shouted, put his hands around his neck, and cried out, "I am thirsty, so thirsty...... but he saw that his hands were rapidly dried up, and only skin and bones remained, and when he opened his mouth to catch the rain of blood, he could not stand still and fell to the ground.
Everyone screamed in panic and fled, and there was a commotion for a while.
The mayor took the lead in kneeling down and praying to the heavens, while the people placed the stone on the street and kowtowed to the stone one by one to beg for mercy and begged the gods for forgiveness.
"Father, what's going on here?"
The mayor of Ji raised his head, only to see a man in his thirties with a square face and protruding eyebrows standing behind everyone with a huge bundle of timber on his back, and next to him was a little boy of five or six years old, very white-looking, standing on tiptoe with an oil-paper umbrella, Rao was so, and his father had to bow his head to let the umbrella cover the top of his head.
The man said, "I'll take a look!" ”
He got out from under the umbrella, straightened up, a head above the average man, about eight feet high, and the boy screamed, and the man walked straight to the crowd, despite being wet from the rain.
"Huh?" When the man saw the man in the stone, his stiff facial muscles moved.
The boy walked up to him and closed his mouth in astonishment, neither screaming nor asking any casual questions, but seemed very calm.
Mayor Ji glanced at him and said, "Shoucheng, you also kneel!" ”
The man named Shoucheng said: "Why do you kneel down to this strange stone? ”
Mayor Ji was a little unhappy and said, "Because we offended this god, he let blood rain from the sky!" ”
Shou Cheng touched his stubby beard, his eyes sparkled, and said, "I think this stone is the culprit of the blood rain!" ”
Mayor Ji was just about to speak, Shou Cheng suddenly stepped onto the stone with an arrow step, and everyone screamed "wow", the man raised his huge fist and said angrily: "Where is the demon?" How dare you do harm to the people!! ”
He struck the stone with a fist, and the lightning and flint were scattered, and everyone fled in all directions.
Mayor Ji was furious, and while blocking the gravel, he scolded: "Ma Teng, you dare to hurt the gods!! ”
Ma Teng squatted on the ground, looking surprised, there were some gravel around him, but the figure embedded in the stone was gone.
"Cut, what a god, my father said that it was a demon or a demon, you know a fart!" The little boy pouted, he seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and he was not very alarmed.
Mayor Ji said angrily: "You stinky boy, you dare to teach me a lesson!" I'll ...... you, a mixed Chinese and Qiang bastard," he didn't finish speaking, his wrist tightened, and he looked back, and the palm that was about to hit the boy was held tightly by the man behind him, and he couldn't move as if he was bound by iron tongs.
"Uncle Han Sui! Hahaha, you're here too, teach this old man a lesson for me! ”
"Ma Chao, you're in trouble again!"
The person named Han Sui let go of Mayor Ji's wrist, and Mayor Ji only saw this person's face clearly at this time - he was already in his forties, with an extraordinary bearing, covered in fur, and his cold face made people feel that this person was a very courageous guy.
"How did my brother get here?" Ma Teng stood up from the ground, and Han Sui said: "Seeing the blood and rain in the world, for some reason, I was afraid that something would happen to my brother, so I came." ”
Ma Teng hugged his fists to express his gratitude, and said: "There is a person embedded in this strange stone, but I punched it, but the figure disappeared, strange things!" ”
"I think I was beaten to pieces by my father!" Ma Chao said with a smile.
Han Sui nodded and said, "Could it be that Brother Fei has looked away?" ”
Ma Teng's deep eyes told them that they would never look away.
Mayor Ji also said: "That's right, this stone has just been recovered from the quarry, so many people can testify, there is indeed one person in this stone, and now you have broken the stone, I don't know how many people will die!" ”
"That's right, you're all going to die!"
A voice came from a distance outside the bazaar, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a tall man wrapped in a shroud walking slowly, and the blood rain was turning into blood and qi approaching his body and being absorbed by him.
A flash of lightning flashed through Ma Teng's mind, and his intuition told him that this person was the guy in the stone just now.
"Hide!" Ma Teng roared, his tone was unquestionable, and Mayor Ji was already trembling with fright, beckoning everyone to step back.
The mysterious man stretched out his hands, and as soon as his palms opened, the "brush" sucked two people, and before the two people could struggle, he sucked up the blood and turned into two dry bones.
He threw it away, stomped on it with his foot, and continued to walk towards Ma Teng.
"Devil, Devil!" The mayor shouted, turned around and fled with everyone.
Only Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Han Sui are left.
"Who the hell are you?" For some reason, Ma Teng felt a sense of fear in his heart that he had never felt before.
The mysterious man did not answer, and continued to walk towards the three of them.
Han Sui was a little annoyed and said, "If you report your name, we can also know who killed us!" ”
The mysterious man paused and said, "I don't know who I am. But I'm finally back, hehe, and it's nice to be able to breathe the air again! He was completely silent, as if examining something.
Seeing that he didn't move, Ma Teng shouted, attacked first, and blasted towards the mysterious man's head, the mysterious man didn't know as if he was in a fixed state, Ma Teng's punch hit the man's head firmly, he only felt a huge counterattack force coming, and the pain was so painful that the hand bones were about to break, he was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his fist, so as to avoid being rebounded by the last few waves of Zhenru.
The mysterious man did not move at all, which made Ma Teng and Han Sui lose color at the same time.
His punch, but the ancestral secret fist left by the ancestors, hit the joints or acupuncture points of the human body, and the power can directly destroy the internal structure and soft tissues, killing the enemy from the inside in the first time.
But the mysterious man was not affected in the slightest, except that the shroud was broken a few times, revealing the hair inside.
"This guy is amazing!" Ma Chao exclaimed, he had never seen anyone who could accept his father's punch without avoiding it.
Han Sui became a little cautious and said, "What kind of monster is this guy......"
Ma Teng took three steps back and said, "Hmph, since that's the case, I won't be polite to him!" ”
He squatted down and shouted, Zhenru rushed out of the sky, his eyebrows were upside down, and the muscles on his face were trembling with Zhenru's washing, forcing Han Sui to take a few steps back, so as not to be caught up in his Zhenru.
Ma Teng roared, and carried ten million fists to attack the mysterious man, the mysterious man suddenly woke up, looked up, "Huh", only stretched out one arm, one palm, Ma Teng's ten million fists were all blocked in the circle with the palm as the center of the circle, let alone attack the mysterious man's body.
The rain of blood came to an abrupt end because of Ma Teng's fierce flames, and the thatched huts on both sides of the bazaar collapsed violently.
Ma Teng stopped after attacking for a while, but saw wisps of green smoke coming out of the mysterious man's palm, and the shroud burned a few pieces, he slowly lowered his palm and praised: "After I heard that you are Ma Yuan, you really live up to your reputation!" Back then, Ma Yuan single-handedly deterred Xiqiang and the Xiongnu, using your destructive truth, right? I didn't expect this power to be so strong! It's a pity, it's a pity, it's useless to me! ”
Ma Teng was stunned, he sacrificed all his strength to attack, since Ma Yuan has never been able to catch it with one palm, the person standing in front of him, listening to the voice is at most in his early twenties, what kind of monster can have such a cultivation?
Han Sui saw that Ma Teng's all-out attack was dissipated by the other party's laughter, and a feeling of terror also rose in his heart, he knew that even if there were ten more Ma Teng, it was estimated that he would not be the opponent of the other party.
"Daddy, what are you afraid of, keep fighting!" Ma Chao shouted.
Ma Teng glanced back at his son and smiled bitterly - this kid, hasn't he felt the strength of the other party? What a newborn calf!
Between the lightning and flint, Ma Chao screamed, only to see the mysterious man slap his face, Ma Chao spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled white, he passed out, his body spun in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.
Ma Teng didn't have time to catch his son!
The mysterious man stepped on Ma Chao's head and squeaked: "Hmph, you stinky boy is very annoying!" How stubborn you are! Hum! ”
Ma Chao woke up from a coma with severe pain in his head, grabbed his feet with both hands, and screamed in pain.
The mysterious man turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ma Teng, I shot a little harder on a whim, who called him so much like me once was?" I hate who I used to be! ”
After saying that, he let go of his foot, and Ma Teng immediately hugged Ma Chao back and carefully examined his injuries, but fortunately the mysterious man did not have the intention of killing, otherwise he would have trampled him to death with one kick.
The mysterious man walked towards Han Sui, and Han Sui was inexplicably forced by his momentum and couldn't help but retreat.
"Who the hell are you? If I'm dead, I can know who killed me!? Han Sui was already ready to be killed, he knew that in the face of such a monster-level opponent, resistance would only make him die worse.
The mysterious man opened his hand and said coldly: "Okay, okay, I remember, my name is Lu Bu, the newborn Lu Bu!" Remember my name, right? You'll still hear my name when you go to hell! ”
Han Sui sighed and said, "Okay, Lu Bu, you can do it, it's a pity that my Han Sui's ambition has not been rewarded!" ”
He closed his eyes.
But death was long overdue.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Lu Bu was no longer by his side, but slowly walked towards the outside of the market.
Ma Teng hugged Ma Chao and nursed his head, and the three of them were fine for the time being.
At this moment, the ground on one side of the bazaar shook, and the other side immediately shook, and Han Sui, who had been fighting horses all his life, immediately understood what was going on - it was the army, and a large number of troops had gathered on both sides!
But he also knew that the Qiang army came on one side, and the Han army came on the other side.
Han Sui remembered the leader of the Han army leading the army, and his spirit suddenly rose, and he said happily: "Shoucheng, the Han army is here!" ”
Ma Teng said angrily: "It seems that there will be another war!" ”
Han Sui said: "Regardless of the fucking war, the important thing is that Dong Gong is here, Dong Gong is here!" ”
Ma Teng smiled bitterly: "It seems that you know that it is Dong Gong who is coming just by listening to the sound of the army's hooves, and the Qiang army should be returning again, right?" ”
What Han Sui was thinking about at this time was how to let Dong Gong, who had been undefeated in a hundred battles, exterminate the mysterious monster named Lu Bu.
