Chapter 120: The Battle of the Ancients (2-in-1 Chapter)
The fields were cleared on the plains, and a large river flowed mightily in the distance, and the water of the river's branches flowed along the canals, and the rice and wheat planted in the fields were also ripe.
Houses made of wood and thatch are built next to the fields, and a courtyard can be seen at intervals, and you can see pigs, sheep and chicken pens surrounded by tree branches, which is a good idyllic scenery.
The people in the fields were wrapped in animal skins, with their hair scattered and straw hats, and the Xun people were busy farming, and in front of the thatched hut, there was an unclothed woman holding a naked child, with a clay pot on her head, passing by the field and shouting to her husband.
There was also the old man on the ridge blowing an ancient pottery instrument, making a dull sound of vicissitudes.
This means that Xunguo has begun to have a sense of family, and even began to have a system of husband and wife.
Everything looks like it is full of primitive and ancient meanings, making people feel as if they have entered the era of ancient human ignorance thousands of years ago.
Just like that, it is already a very terrible atmosphere, which means that this is close to the capital of Xun Kingdom, and further away, I am afraid that you can only see the barbaric and uncivilized tribes, savages, monsters, and even in the 100,000 mountains in the south, most of the tribes still have the vice of cannibalism.
If you count the whole Dongzhou, most of the area is still in the wilderness, inaccessible, desert everywhere, only in the area where this big river flows, can you see some signs of people and civilization.
Xun Kingdom was established on an ancient ruins, with several large cities, controlling dozens of tribes large and small in the west, and the city-state tribes under the control of the Xuanyuan Kingdom in the north have been fighting for many years, and the millions of mountains in the south are completely uncivilized savages, the world of demon beasts,
At this moment, the farmer and the child in the field suddenly looked up and saw a star falling from the sky from the clouds.
The star shimmered, slipped from the clouds, and fell straight into the distance, and when the eyes looked through the wide road on the ridge, you could see that at the end of the plain, there was a capital, and the tall city rose from the ground, which was the first symbol of civilization.
The Xunguo people in the earth knelt on the ground in shock, worshipping in the distance, and shouting something in their mouths, as if shouting the name of the witch god believed in the Xunguo.
The stars are falling, in the east of Xundu.
Xundu –
Compared to the capital of Xun Kingdom
The king of Xunguo personally burned bones in the palace to divinate hexagrams, at that time, the whole of Xunguo was arguing endlessly about the use of troops in the northern Xuanyuan country in the coming year, dozens of tribal patriarchs, Xunguo nobles, witch sacrifices, and witches witnessed on the spot.
Dressed in clothes made of bird feathers, the witch priests beat and dance with strange wooden utensils in their hands.
Under the hall, more than a dozen livestock and dozens of slaves were tied together, and with an order, their heads were cut off at the same time, and blood was sacrificed to the god of Xunguo, a god who was wrapped in light and brought revival and life to all things.
The Great Witch Festival and the Great King's Hua burned the bones and calculated the hexagram based on the cracks in the bones and the witch rituals that were passed down in the ruins.
The hexagram shows that the destiny of heaven is in Xun, and it is auspicious.
On the spot, the entire Xun Kingdom decided to fight with the Xuanyuan Kingdom, as long as the Xuanyuan Kingdom in the south is destroyed, the Xun Kingdom will remove the biggest threat around, and then as long as the barbarian tribes of the millions of mountains in the south are defeated, and the large and small city-states and tribes of the Dongzhou Terran are unified, they will be able to establish the first dynasty.
In the spring of the following year, Xun launched 20,000 soldiers to attack Xuanyuan.
The 20,000 soldiers included the elite of the Xun Kingdom wearing leather armor and holding spears, the sturdy and hairy savages of the southern tribes, the bald and tattooed sorcerers, whose strength was infinite, and the witch sacrifices that could control magic beasts, dance poisonous insects, and swallow poisonous fire.
A great battle took place on the border of Xunguo and Xuanyuan, on the banks of the great river, and 20,000 soldiers stepped into the territory of Xuanyuan in six cities and nineteen departments.
The mighty but not neat army marched north, opening the prelude to the battle of the mountains and seas, which can be called ancient.
The powerful sorcerer can tear people in half with his bare hands, wielding a sledgehammer, surging blood and qi all over his body, and he will be seriously injured when he is wiped by a sledgehammer, and the hammer will be directly reduced to meat sauce.
Or suddenly turn into a giant nearly three meters high, throw a thousand catties of boulders directly at the enemy's position, and derive scale armor from the body, allowing the opponent's knife to chop with an axe, leaving no trace.
The thin and yellow witch sacrifice, holding the animal bones and howling, a black wind howling, swallowing the essence and blood of dozens of people, some people waved their hands and the wind rose, the boulder fell, and dozens of people on the battlefield were killed between the hands, or the golden light was released in the eyes, and people were killed in the blink of an eye.
Witch sacrifices, sorcerers, and ordinary soldiers fought between the two sides, and when the two sides started to move, they saw tens of thousands of people carrying falling rocks wrapped in the black wind and rolling in the sky, and the scene looked extremely terrifying.
There are no tactics or schemes and conspiracies on all sides, that is, they rely on the number of people and means to press up, and the number of witches and witches on the Xun side far exceeds that of the other party.
Xuanyuan country is not like the Daxun country, most of the countrymen are more keen on cultivation and pleasure, and the control over the city-state tribes under it is not strict, and only some people are sent out of the holy land in a year on weekdays, and when the Xuanyuan people react, most of the territory that originally belonged to them has already been returned to the Xunguo.
However, as soon as the people of Xuanyuan made a move, they showed a different scene, leading thousands of tribes near Longqiu, blocking the edge of Xunguo.
The people of Xuanyuan are incomparably powerful in every country, and they are all able to control water, turn soil into stone, and freeze people into ice corpses between breaths, taking people's lives.
At first, it was not bad, but later with the battle between the king of Xunguo and the great witch priest and the high priest of Xuanyuan Kingdom, the two soared in the sky, like immortals in the sky to use all kinds of means.
The thunder and lightning flashed between the waves of the Xunguo Great Witch Priest's hand, and the Xuanyuan High Priest danced a water bead of inheritance magic weapon, carrying the power of low temperature and ten thousand jun towards it, the two of them staggered in the sky, fighting inextricably, the light stirred the vastness, and the others below could not even get close, they could only look up at them below.
However, at this moment, the people of Xuanyuan below dug up the big river and directly submerged Longqiu, swept away the power of the flood, and submerged all the Xunguo army.
Xun was defeated and lost, 20,000 troops were lost in the north, and only some witch priests and sorcerers fled back with the king of Xunguo.
There was a wail from top to bottom of the Xun Kingdom, and even because of this defeat, the alliance of city-states based on the Xun Kingdom began to waver, and the internal instability was unstable, the Xuanyuan Kingdom in the north was eyeing the tiger, and the barbarians in the south were also beginning to move.
The civilization established by the Xun Kingdom is in a precarious place and may be extinguished at any time.
And at this time, a group of aliens who came out of nowhere stepped into the Xun country.
They are gorgeously dressed, their temperament is magnificent, their speech and demeanor and erudition shocked the whole Xun country, and everyone can perform witchcraft like a witch sacrifice, but their witchcraft is very different from the witchcraft of Xun country, and they also use the power of blood, and the witches who exercise their bodies are very different, they call them Taoism, and they call themselves monks and qi refiners.
Although these aliens are not as powerful as the high witch festival of the Xun Kingdom, and they are not as capable of flying in the sky as the king of the Xun Kingdom and the great witch sacrifice Hua, but the magic is more subtle and systematic.
They said that they were willing to help Xun defeat Xuanyuan, and put forward a series of suggestions and skills that shocked Xunguo, when Xun was overwhelmed and fell into a crisis, their arrival allowed Xunguo to resolve the crisis, and after a year of repair, re-launched a war against Xuanyuan.
And put forward a series of plans and measures to help Xunguo gradually resolve internal contradictions, govern various tribes one by one through strategies, train soldiers, smelt bronze and iron tools, and prepare to launch another war against Xuanyuan in the coming year.
Even they began to gradually empty the power of the king of Xunguo, but there was no intention to replace him, they were constantly digging and looking for various large and small ruins through the power of Xunguo, looking for all the clues about the ancient era, as well as scattered cultivation techniques.
They have set foot in various places have been born large and small ruins, these ruins, most of these ruins are the ruins left by some ancient cities, for the Xun people may still have some effect, they are of no use to them at all, only an ancient tomb, the demon movement in the deep mountains, is suspected to be left by ancient cultivators.
However, most of the things have long been erased in the years, lost their effect, only a mural, record, exercises still have some effect, one of the largest relics, is Xundu, here seems to have been once the capital of an ancient dynasty, in the palace excavated a lot of good things, the great witch sacrifice and the witchcraft of those witch sacrifices, part of it is from here.
After stepping through these large and small ruins, they finally set their sights on the Xuanyuan Kingdom, because it was a place of cultivation that had really been handed down from ancient times, but had not been damaged too much.
After a year of preparation, they started the war against the Xuanyuan Kingdom again, because the Xuanyuan Kingdom had the oldest and most complete ruins and cultivation inheritance, and even the Xuanyuan Kingdom was like the Shark Country, with the inheritance of the Dan Dao, and was proficient in the art of refining the Water Dan.
The powerful Shark Kingdom is located in the sea, which they cannot easily plot, and the Xuanyuan Kingdom is an opportunity for them.
————————————
Xundu –
On both sides of the wide street, most of them are made of wood, with thatched houses on top of them, and the simple windows are pasted with mulberry paper, and in the center of the avenue, you can see a tall palace, which was not built by Xunguo, but the remains of Xundu itself.
I heard that the advanced witchcraft of the witch priests came from here.
In addition to the commoners dressed in sackcloth, there were also barbarian merchants who were wrapped in animal skins and transported goods from the south to sell, as well as witch priests and shamans wearing silk and satin, and even monsters wearing sackcloth and straw hats.
Here, people live with witches, demons, and ghosts, because the reincarnation is not perfect enough, those powerful dead things often turn into lonely ghosts, not to mention the wilderness, even in the Xundu, there will be strange things in the streets and alleys at night, and no one dares to go out.
Fang Xiuduan sat on top of the clouds, watching Qingyang, Qi Refiner Jia Yi, and Zhu Rong Zhu Liu, with a large number of people making trouble in Xunguo, and even started the idea of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
"Looks like the plan is on track!"
"If nothing else, the first dynasty will appear!"
Fang Xiu looked down at the clouds, his gaze passed through a large mansion, and he glanced at the Qingyang people below.
I saw them sitting in a large mansion at this moment, there were more than a dozen houses, and hundreds of slaves and servants could be seen working in the courtyard, which was the largest mansion except for the palace.
Everyone sat on the ground, a dozen people wore some rustic silk robes, and there were four beautiful slaves and maids kneeling at the door, the ground was covered with animal skins, and even the windows were painted.
Qingyang said: "The method of becoming a great witch sacrifice seems to be a little different from the Taoism we practice, and it may not apply to us, the several prohibitions they inherit are all related to their own bloodline, but we do not necessarily have the bloodline inherited from the ancient ancestors and gods and demons." ”
Zhu Rong nodded: "If you can conquer the Xuanyuan Kingdom, you will be able to get the most perfect inheritance, I heard that there is also the method of alchemy, as well as the Dan and magic weapons handed down from ancient times!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Rong also frowned: "But I heard that the Xuanyuan Kingdom is inherited from the ancient gods and demons, and in their ancestral temple holy land, there is a figure who is close to the gods and demons class. ”
Qi refiner Jia Yi immediately said very unscrupulously: "Anyway, there are the witch sacrifices and the great witch sacrifices of the Xun Kingdom to resist, and there are those witches who are not very human, and we don't need to rush to the front!"
"Hey, I originally thought that I would directly overthrow the Great Witch Sacrifice of Xun Kingdom, but at this moment, it is more reliable for you to consider it before!"
Qingyang immediately said: "Where is it so easy, that big witch sacrifice is not simple, it is not stupid or stupid, and there is no need to say it, we can't stay here forever, are you the king?"
Qi refiner Jia Yi's eyes flickered: "Aren't you going to leave someone behind?"
Qingyang's face was a little not good: "One person is not enough to suppress the scene, but it is more likely to have accidents, what we need is to seek stability and create a stable situation, so we can't do this." ”
"Okay, let's discuss the strategy to deal with Xuanyuan Kingdom, shall we?"
There are endless arguments in the room, it seems that Qingyang and the group still have some contradictions with the Qi refiner Jia Yi and Zhurong Zhu Liu, but just because of the combination of interests, they have already explored the ruins that have been unearthed in this area, and the rest are not so easy to find, or have not yet been born, if they take the Xuanyuan Kingdom again, Fang Xiu estimates that if they get the benefits, I am afraid it will be the time for them to part ways.
Fang Xiu glanced at it, and probably knew that the great battle between Xun and Xuanyuan was imminent.
And looking at the entire Xun Kingdom again, Fang Xiu still felt that his original decision was relatively correct.
"Sure enough, bringing real people to the mountain and sea realm can promote the development of the entire mountain and sea world, so it is much easier than me slowly interfering and promoting development in one end, and a little bit of layout!"
"They'll do it for me!"
Fang Xiu nodded, and after confirming that there was no big problem here, he went to the next place, and when the time came, he would come over and pay attention to it when the Xuanyuan Kingdom and the Xun Kingdom were in battle.
