Volume 2 Tragic Song Chapter 234 Singleness and Responsibility
The great witch that Xiao Jinxing had seen in the Yousu tribe was holding a black wooden staff that had been rubbed and shiny, and on the wooden staff was a strip of cloth that could no longer be seen clearly, and under the cloth fell several colorful and glowing gems.
She quietly watched Xiao Jinxing walk in front of her step by step with deep eyes like a galaxy.
Xiao Jinxing finally climbed the high platform, he exhaled a long breath, looked at the nine old men in front of him and gave a deep salute.
"Xiao Jinxing, a native of Qin, came to Longcheng to accept the edict of Immortal Heaven, and from now on, Jinxing was born as a person of the grassland and died as a ghost of the grassland.
I will lead millions of people of the eight tribes out of the vast darkness and find the only light. ”
After hearing Xiao Jinxing's words, the nine witches did not speak, but flashed to the side, making way to the Taichung Pool.
Xiao Jinxing glanced up at the quaint pool that suddenly appeared in front of him, and walked over, and then he stretched out his hands and solemnly picked up the water in the pool from the pool, slowly washing his eyes, cheeks, and all the hardships and hardships of the past.
From this moment on, Xiao Jinxing can be regarded as the supreme leader of the eight barbarian tribes, the great Shan Yu of the grassland.
After washing, Xiao Jinxing turned around and faced the 100,000 people under the high platform, the vast rivers and mountains and grasslands, and everything that appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be in a trance.
Suddenly, his hand was gripped tightly by a warm but incomparably solid hand.
In an instant, he noticed that everything in front of him suddenly changed to a different appearance.
He saw a sea of blood in front of him, but only the red sun appeared in the distance.
"Step on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, go to the sun, this is your fate, this is our hope.
It seems that everything is predestined, and it seems that we did not choose the wrong one. Qin Danyu. ”
A voice as thick as having tasted endless years appeared in Xiao Jinxing's ears, and he could hear that this was the voice of the Great Witch he had heard in the Yousu Golden Tribe a few years ago.
He stopped the panic and cowardice in his heart, and looked up at the red sun in the distance.
Sure enough, under the red sun, a road to the unknown appeared, and although there was still blood on both sides of the road, there was finally a way out in this desperate mountain of corpses and blood.
It's just that Xiao Jinxing suddenly saw a figure at the end of that road.
The man was dressed in black and black, with his tall and thin head facing away from him, and at this moment he was also looking up at the red sun in the sky.
"God-king?"
Xiao Jinxing muttered in surprise, causing many witches around him to turn their faces to look at Xiao Jinxing, and at the same time, there was a look of surprise on their faces.
"Is he really able to see the revelation? Is he really the Child of the Apocalypse? ”
"For hundreds of years, he was the first Shan Yu to see the revelation, and it seems that we made a good choice."
"Why did the Divine King appear in his revelations?"
In the midst of the discussions, suddenly the witches saw Xiao Jinxing shaking his head again, and muttered, "It's not a Divine Monarch, he is definitely not a Divine Monarch." ”
In the surprised look of the witches, Xiao Jinxing's eyes slowly returned to clarity. He looked around, and the shock in his eyes was undisguised in front of the witches.
"Xiao Jinxing, you are the first person in hundreds of years to be able to see the Revelation, and I believe that you are the one who will lead the people to the light.
Go ahead, whatever you see, just do what you see. ”
Da Wu's voice appeared in Xiao Jinxing's ears again, and the warm hand also left his palm.
"Xiao Jinxing, can you promise me one thing?"
Xiao Jinxing, who was still reminiscing about what he had just seen and was in extreme shock, suddenly heard an inquiry.
He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see an old woman who was completely different from other witches smiling and whispering to him.
Xiao Jinxing can be sure that the witch in front of him is something he has never seen before, and it seems that she must be the witch of the Huaxu clan.
But he was surprised to find that the silver-haired old man's smile had a familiar intimacy.
The kind gaze that looked at him was like looking at a child he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Yao Jun!"
Xiao Jinxing's eyes suddenly moistened, and his brain suddenly turned pale.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the eternal totem in his heart, and when he looked up again, two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks and dripped on the bluestone under his feet.
The old woman leaned down, gently held up Xiao Jinxing, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in her voice full of compassion while smiling:
"Child, I'm not Yao Jun, but you can see me as her.
It's not so important anymore.
But boy, will you promise me one thing? ”
Xiao Jinxing raised his head blankly, although he couldn't understand the mysterious words spoken by the old woman, he still said with tears on the familiar face:
"I do, I want anything."
After finishing speaking, I saw that the old woman smiled and shook her head slightly, and said softly: "This crusade will inevitably cause endless killings, and please be merciful to those poor people who don't have to die in vain, okay?" ”
Xiao Jinxing didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Yao Jun rest assured, this expedition I, Xiao Jinxing, will never kill a person indiscriminately, even if it is the nobles with the greatest evil, they must be carefully screened, the guilty will be punished, the guilty will be punished, and the innocent will be released."
I will not repay them the same evil deeds they have done to me in the past, and I will not become a raccoon dog like them. ”
The old woman nodded and smiled: "It seems that you have already made a decision in your heart, but you are too worried."
Da Dan's conquests in the Eight Great Tribes in the past can be seen that you are not a person who loves to kill. ”
The old woman said that she was about to return to her original position, but Xiao Jinxing seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked:
"Can Yao Jun tell me why you became a witch on the grassland?"
The old woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, but in an instant, she returned to her original expression, and she still smiled slightly before retreating to her position.
Xiao Jinxing's face was already flustered, and he hurriedly prepared to chase after the old woman, but at this time, he suddenly heard the big witch beside him speak:
"Da Shan Yu, there is no Yao Jun in this world for a long time, and she is just a witch of Huaxu.
The nine of us are not just witches on the grassland as you know, but messengers who shoulder the lives and deaths of all people in the world.
I think you had a conversation with the Creeping Divine Monarch back then, don't you still understand the original intention of the few of us choosing you?
Do you really think that our crusade is only hoping to plunder the wealth and population of the Guannai?
Da Danyu, only by conquering more advanced civilizations, can you have a chance to fight against the endless darkness, and the sea of corpses and blood you see is the only way to the light.
The reason why we never choose Zhou people is because the unchanged leader will always go astray.
Only the backward side has the courage and motivation to promote the progress of civilization.
That's the only purpose of our crusade, but you don't need to know much about it now, just do what you want, now that the Apocalypse has revealed its true face to you.
Choosing you is our mission.
If you succeed, the nine of us will naturally complete our mission.
If you fail, we'll look for a new candidate.
It doesn't matter if it's a thousand years or 10,000 years. ”
Xiao Jinxing listened to Da Wu's words quietly, and the scenes of the past when he met Shenjun came to his mind.
Finally, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded gently.
"Big Order, let's start."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxing took a deep breath, he took two steps, looked around at the grassland people under the high platform like dew, and said loudly:
"I, Xiao Jinxing, and Qin Danyu, will lead you to the Eastern Crusade and start a new life.
From now on, there will be no more barbarian tribes in the world.
The only ones left are the thousands of people of my Great Xia Kingdom, who gather under the banner of the burning red sun to compete with the Zhou people in the Guannai for the right to survive.
Xia, this is the common title of all races in our world, and it is the most beautiful text given to us by the Immortal Heaven, and he belongs to every race and every person.
Six hundred years ago, the people of Guannai drove us out of Guannai under the banner of the Xia tribe, treating us as barbarians outside the territory, and since then we have been displaced from place to place, and we are always under the threat of natural disasters and those creeping beasts.
It's been almost 600 years, and it's time for the world to change.
Whoever said that Guannai should be the land of their Zhou people, who said that we can only live in the wilderness.
Today, I will lead you to hold high the banner of Great Xia again and return to the land that belongs to the common ownership of all people in the world.
This world is the world of the people of the world.
He does not belong only to the Zhou people, and he does not belong only to any noble kingship.
Warriors, use your courage to join me in expanding the land, to win the fertile land that is enough for our relatives to live, to create a new world where all are equal and free from oppression, and to prove to the Immortal Heaven that his fearless people will bring his blessings to every inch of the land where the sun can shine.
Are you willing to join me in fighting, changing, and welcoming a bright future?
If you will, hold up your weapons and march with me to the place where the sun rises! ”
(Some words after the two volumes were written.)
Dear book friends, this is the first time that I have written it. From March 2019 to April 2019, it was a whim, and there was no idea of making money or becoming famous.
But now that I have finished writing the two volumes, I look back at the mental journey of the past eight months, and even I feel a little incredible.
The original intention of writing this book was actually because of my grandmother's death.
Zhu Mu grew up in his grandmother's house since he was a child, and was pulled by his grandmother and grandfather for more than ten years, so his childhood was all about his grandmother, grandfather, cousin, and cousin's past.
Since the death of his grandmother, he has not been able to walk out of this shadow for a long time, and he always feels that his grandmother is always by his side.
So I hope to write an article to commemorate my grandmother.
Therefore, he wrote the words Yao Jun and Yao Chonghua. Among them is grandma's surname, and a word in my name, in fact, this name means grandma doting on me.
This book was originally intended to write an alternate history, because I studied history in college, so I feel that this part of the content will be more familiar.
Drawing on my favorite "Xun Qin Ji", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Turning Clouds and Rain", "Tianxingjian" and "Zichuan" that enlightened me about alternate history, I conceived such a basic worldview similar to Zichuan.
But as I wrote, I found that the story told was too "orthodox" and I didn't think it was very eye-catching, so I borrowed from Zichuan and added elements of a strange beast like a worm.
Moreover, the existence of this alien beast combined with the radiation that appeared in the four directions of Shenzhou made me conceive the final background behind this book, which should be more in line with the central idea of this book.
……
I am an ordinary person, doing ordinary work in fifth- and sixth-tier cities, but in my long-term life and work, I have found some phenomena that I find difficult to understand but are universal.
Therefore, I set the tone of this book as the central context of the pursuit of equality, the pursuit of fairness, and the breaking of the hereditary rule of the aristocracy.
Combined with some deceitful political struggles and wars, the content of the story is fleshed out.
I once fantasized that I was Lihua, because I appreciated the disease in real history, so I portrayed the protagonist according to the deeds of Lizi.
But I wrote and found that Lihua and I were not the same.
I shaped Siu Kam Hang again, but I found that I did not have the ability and courage of Siu Kam hang.
Maybe both of them have a shadow of me in their stories, and both of them are the goals I aspire to be.
Because it was my first time writing a book, I now look back at the first few chapters, and there are many typos and sentences that don't make sense, and there are many logical errors. So recently, whenever I have time, I have been revising back and forth vertically and horizontally, trying to bring you a good reading experience.
But Baidu, Panda Reading and some piracy channels are still the same immature words as before.
It's not that my current writing is mature, but I don't want my mistakes to affect everyone's mood of reading this book and waste everyone's time, so I'm so sorry for everyone.
Because I usually need to work during the day, and I have to write new content whenever I have time, this kind of error correction work is very slow, so I hope you understand.
All in all, when I signed the contract with Zongheng, I tentatively decided that the book should be finished at about 1.5 million words, but I think that as long as there are new ideas and new directions, we should not be limited by the number of words and strive to tell the story well.
At present, the results of this book are not good, in addition to my own low level of writing, the unpopularity of the story type may also be one of the extremely important reasons.
No matter what, even if only one person is watching, I will still keep writing, after all, it is my hard work, and it is also a fun spice to fill in my failed work.
My pen name is Tree, which comes from the article "Zhuangzi", which says that the tree is too big and useless, but Zhuangzi also said that the tree may be useless in the eyes of some people because its branches are bent and cannot build houses, but it can be extremely useful as a home for birds and animals when it grows in the wilderness to provide shade for people who are sheltered from the sun, and can shelter from the wind and rain. That's why I came up with such a name.
Finally, I would like to thank my parents and wife for their support in writing for me, because I should have shared the housework and taken care of their young children after work, but because I wrote it, it made them feel a lot more stressed. Thanks to my little son, the milky father who brings me daily joy.
Thank you all for your company along the way.
Today is December 31, 2019, and tomorrow is the new year.
Respectfully. )
