Chapter 38 The Hive
After messing around, Jiang Tong and Yuan Liu, who were covered with scars, were finally taken back to the iron camp by Li Anmin.
As soon as he came back, Jiang Tong couldn't bear the sleepiness all over his body, and went back to his room to rest with a confession. But Yuan Liu, like a chicken blood, was very energetic, so he pulled Master Huang and asked.
"Alas, I said Lao Huang, look at the Xuanque Wei guys, they all live in places where you can see the sky. It's kind of standing up to the sky, why do you want to squeeze into this crypt? ”
Master Huang didn't care, but Xu San'er couldn't bear it.
"What's the matter, if you become a disciple of the third gentleman of Xuanque Hall, you can't live in the crypt? If you don't like it, we'll get out of here! ”
Xu San'er rushed over and grabbed Yuan Liu's collar and said angrily.
Yuan Liu scratched his head in embarrassment, he had just desperately rescued himself from the Xuanque Wei prison, and it was inevitable that Xu San'er would be angry if he didn't stop it. He didn't know what to say, so he had to grin and give Xu San'er a smile.
"Third brother, don't be angry, he has always spoken like this, and he has no other intentions, you must not be angry."
Hongying glared at Yuan Liu, and hurriedly explained to Xu San'er.
"Look at this hour, the sword blank is almost warm, and I need your cooperation next." Master Huang's face was a little serious, and he said to Li Anmin, "Come with me." ”
Li Anmin nodded and followed Master Huang's footsteps.
"Alas, Lao Huang, deputy commander, it's so late today, let's rest early." Yuan Liu shouted at the two of them at the top of his voice, he was missing two teeth, and his speech was a little leaky.
"If you don't shut up, I'll let the third uncle throw you back to the Xuanque Guard Camp!" Hongying knew that Master Huang and Li Anmin must have had a secret conversation, and when she heard Yuan Liu's endless chatter, she snorted angrily.
Overnight, Li Anmin first learned that Liu Yingying had Yin Qi hidden in his body, and then inexplicably made contact with a mysterious organization called "Hive".
Hongying muttered in her heart: Wood's mood must be very complicated.
Yuan Liu heard Hongying's scolding, pursed his lips nonchalantly, and turned back to the room. He looked in the direction where Master Huang and Li Anmin had left, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Hehe, is it really a beehive?" "It's just that all this, no one notices.
Li Anmin followed Master Huang to the "Refining Pavilion". The refining pavilion is Master Huang's exclusive refining room, and there is an earth fire furnace in the room, and a sword blank is being warmed in the earth fire furnace.
As soon as Li Anmin entered the door, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him. Master Huang closed the door, and suddenly the room was even more stuffy, and Li Anmin's heart swelled with a trace of irritability.
"Who is Daddy? Who are you? What is a hive? What is Netherworld? What does the hive have to do with me? ”
Li Anmin was anxious, he looked at Master Huang and threw out many questions that were haunting his heart.
Master Huang stared at the sword blank in the earth furnace, and said leisurely, "Do you know the world today?" ”
Li Anmin held his breath and looked at Master Huang quietly.
The little black fat man let out a long sigh and said eloquently: "The Han Dynasty ruled the world, and it has been inherited for thousands of years. Nowadays, although the four seas are calm on the surface, in fact, there are undercurrents. ”
"The current Han is like a dying old man in his twilight years, who has long been decayed from his roots. Nowadays, there are many parties inside and outside the government and the opposition, and major forces have been formed to resist and disrupt our rivers and mountains. Today, His Majesty is addicted to wine and does nothing, which further exacerbates the decay of the dynasty.
Now there is a traitor Lin Daozi who controls the government and disrupts the government. He founded the hall, collected the world's strategists, and calculated the world.
The ambitious vassal kings of various places are fierce soldiers, eyeing the great treasure.
The people of the world do not know how many people are displaced, and the people of the people can not bear the suffering of the people and unite together, so the Shanren Mansion came into being. ”
Li Anmin was dumbfounded. The three names of Jiantang, the vassal king, and the Shanrenfu came into his ears, and he silently remembered them in his heart.
The aura of the sword blank flowed, and Master Huang nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. He picked up the sword blank and put it in the cold steel beside him.
A "bang" sounded, and billowing white smoke instantly rose from the sword blank.
Then Master Huang fixed the sword blank on the forging table, picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it one after another.
With the clatter of the hammer falling on the sword blank, Master Huang continued to speak: "This is an internal worry, and the Han still has external troubles. ”
Li Anmin raised his head and continued to wait quietly for Master Huang's next words.
"For example, there are Kyushu today, and there are four places outside of Kyushu. The Great Han occupies the center of the world, Kyushu. The four regions outside of Kyushu are controlled by foreign tribes. Dongyi, Xirong, Nanban, Beidi, The southern barbarians handed a letter of surrender to the Han a hundred years ago, using the ability of their race to tame and raise spirit beasts for the emperor. But the other three clans have been fighting against my Great Han, and the reason why there has been no head-on conflict is because they are waiting and watching, and they are not sure if the dragon of Great Han really can't fly. Like predatory beasts, when it is certain that their prey is not capable of wandering, they will not hesitate to deliver the most ferocious fatal blow. ”
"In this way, in addition to the Di people, there are other threats to the border of the Great Han Dynasty?"
Li Anmin has lived in the border for a long time, and even if he read a lot of classics when he was a child, he only understands the customs and customs within the Han Dynasty. For the four places outside of Kyushu, this is the first time he has heard people mention it.
Master Huang sneered, and the action of beating the sword blank in his hand did not stop, and continued: "The dangerous building of Dahan is already crumbling. Inside, relying on a loyal and upright minister left by the emperor in the court, he mediated with the traitors. Outside, it is all supported by the military headquarters of the Han Dynasty. If not, hehe. ”
Master Huang sneered, which meant that Li Anmin naturally knew.
Master Huang raised the sword blank in front of him and looked at it carefully. Then the little black fat man took out a pitch-black whetstone from the shelf in the corner of the refining pavilion and performed the technique of sprinkling.
Li Anmin knew that Master Huang was opening the sword blank, but after seeing the pattern of the sword body, he frowned slightly. Because forging a sword should be sprinkled in front and engraved in the back, he didn't understand why Master Huang did the opposite.
Master Huang carefully polished the sword blank and continued to say to Li Anmin: "Twenty years ago, a group of people suddenly appeared, they aimed to spy on the world, spy on intelligence, and assassinate people with bad intentions towards the Han Dynasty. All of a sudden, the entire territory of the Han Dynasty was covered with blood. Their identities are secretive, and they never show their true faces, from the emperor's relatives to the peddlers' pawns, and even the beggars sitting in the corner of the roadside stalls may be members of this mysterious organization. All of a sudden, the people of the government and the opposition are panicked, maybe the beauty sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, the servant who serves tea and water on weekdays, and the colleagues who work together may give you a fatal blow at any time. This mysterious organization is the Hive, and they have come together for the same goal, which is to save the Great Han. ”
Master Huang recalled the past, his tone was a little stunned, and he continued: "It was a crazy time, 100,000 bees flew to every corner of the Han River, and in four years, I eliminated many traitors and villains. The people of Li applauded the case, but some people were worried. The Hive is extremely disciplined, and they themselves do not know the true identity of their fellow citizens under the mask. There is only a thick roster, in the hands of the queen bee. ”
"The queen bee is the only soul of the 100,000 bees in the hive, and his strength is extremely strong, it is said that he can enter the heavenly realm, and is known as Li Lao Ghost. He often carries a ring ruler with him, and his body is filled with a soul-stirring black aura, which people call the Netherworld Qi. ”
Hearing the word "ring ruler", Li Anmin trembled for a moment, and he couldn't help muttering: "Dad! ”
Master Huang glanced at Li Anmin and said lightly, "That's right, it's him." ”
"Then why did Daddy run away to Xuanque City again and be willing to be an ordinary old man?" Li Anmin continued to ask.
"Huh, ordinary?" Master Huang sneered and continued, "The hive is so crazy, it still infringes on the interests of some people. In other words, it was to offend all the high-ranking people except the one in the palace, so some people speculated that His Majesty the Emperor was the one who stood behind the hive. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and this rumor soon spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
So, on a thunderstorm night sixteen years ago, the traitor organized all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the entire imperial city, and they led nearly 10,000 privately raised soldiers and dead soldiers to surround the imperial city. In the name of the Qing monarch, they did the thing of forcing the palace.
That night, Old Ghost Li really appeared, and under a big battle, he almost took the life of the treacherous minister Lin Daozi. But who would have expected that dozens of realm cultivators would be killed at this moment, they were from all over the vassal kings, and they were secretly hidden by Lin Xiang's side.
The battle ended, and the news of the death of the old ghost Li came out that night. On the second day, Lin Xiang held half a roster and launched a bee hunting operation throughout the government and the opposition.
Nearly 20,000 bees were caught, and on the prison beheading platform, the hive dead soldiers died generously.
People from all over the country spontaneously flocked to the local prison platform. They carried spirits in their hands and hot meals to send the warriors who had died faithfully to their country on their last journey.
When the bees saw the people with tears in their eyes, the elder brother laughed loudly and shouted: "Be born as a bee, die and return to the nest." I can awaken the soul of the nation that is sleeping in the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty with my blood, and die without regrets. ”
Master Huang said, a few tears couldn't help rolling down the corners of his eyes, he closed his eyes and said silently, and continued after a while: "From that day on, His Majesty the Emperor began to be depressed, indulging in wine day and night. From that day on, blood donation stained the Dahan rivers and mountains red. On that day, 20,000 bees died, and 80,000 bees hid.
We didn't believe that the queen bee would die, and we didn't believe that the hive would be destroyed, so we waited for 16 years. ”
Master Huang opened his eyes, looked at Li Anmin and said, "Finally, we waited for a young man with a ghostly aura, and we waited for you. ”
Suddenly, Master Huang slapped his robe, knelt in front of Li Anmin, and said respectfully:
"Huangji Blacksmith Shop in the Imperial City, meet the young master."
