Text Act I: The Spread of the Heart_Chapter 2: The Twin Gods of War

Dongfang Ziyan wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't, although his eyes were closed, he could feel the dazzling sunlight stimulating his eyes. After a long while, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing he saw was the sun in the sky, because his vision had not yet fully recovered, and his vision was still white, and he smelled the fragrance of grass and earth, and in addition to the soreness all over his body, he felt hungry.

"Awake?" A young man with long white hair sat beside him, with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing, dressed in a white light suit, carrying a long sword behind him, and was turning the barbecue on the fire, "You won't wake up by asking, right?" The boy said with a cold face, with a nonchalant joking tone.

"Why do you ask?" Dongfang Ziyan tilted his head and asked.

"Your saliva." The boy pointed to the corner of his mouth.

Dongfang Ziyan was stunned, a little embarrassed, and then wiped it with his sleeve, he shook his head to sober himself up, and then sat up slowly, he felt that his body was sore, but he was no stranger to this feeling, because he also felt this way after waking up after being beaten by the bad boy in Ruolan City before. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and a spirit flashed through his mind, and his mind was full of people: laughter! Dongfang Xiao's surprise! The roar of the East! Deadly Attack! A short sword with incredible sharpness! Scattered blood flowers!! At this moment, Ziyan remembered that scene, and couldn't help but shudder. Ziyan touched his chest with a trembling hand, there was no imaginary pain, he looked down, only saw the bloodstained clothes, the clothes on his chest were pierced into a hole, but there were no sword wounds on his body except for abrasions, but in his memory, he was obviously stabbed in the heart by the sword!

"What's wrong? By the way, why are you covered in blood on your clothes, attacked by wild beasts? The boy asked, looking at her.

"Did you save me? Where is this? How could I not have been injured? Tell me soon!! Ziyan obviously hadn't recovered from that amazing scene yet, and was a little excited, so he couldn't help but hurriedly ask.

The young man patted the ash on his hands, slowly stood up, and pointed to Dongfang Ziyan in the distance, Dongfang Ziyan found himself on an island in the middle of a lake in a large forest, and the water vapor on the lake on the edge of the island was lingering, and it was twilight.

"This is the southern county of the Hongjun Empire, this forest is the Modibia Forest in the northwesternmost part of the Hongjun Empire, I found you by the lake yesterday evening, so I brought you here to heal." The boy said, handing him a skewer of roasted deer legs.

"Oh, thank you, but ······" Dongfang Ziyan looked at this young man of his own age and had a lot of questions to ask. His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't know whether to tell this stranger that he still had to be careful about strangers, but he was even more puzzled about how he escaped from the hidden masters of the Senate. How did he heal his fatal wounds? Why did you suddenly go from the Dongyi realm to the Estanem realm, which is tens of thousands of miles away? Was it someone who came to the rescue or something else??

"Take care of your injuries first, your injuries are not serious, but they are too dangerous in this forest." The teenager said.

"Okay, by the way, thank you for saving me, I don't know your name yet." Dongfang Ziyan said to him politely.

"Shangguan Yuanji." The young man had a pair of iron-gray eyes, and he was staring at him coldly at the moment.

"My name is Dongfang Ziyan!" Ziyan blurted out without even thinking about it.

After Shangguan Yuanji heard this, his cold eyes immediately became sharp as needles, and the green tendons on his forehead twitched at the corners of his mouth, and after a while! The right hand quickly drew the long sword behind him! Ziyan's brain buzzed, he realized that he was sloppy, since he escaped from the hands of the Senate, the Senate must have been wanted in the whole country, maybe this young man is still a member of the Senate! Thinking of this, Dongfang Ziyan regretted it: No wonder he was able to break into this dangerous big forest alone at such a young age!!

Shangguan Yuanji stuck to him at a very fast speed, the cold blade was already across Ziyan's neck, the slender and sharp blade was close to its throat, as long as he spoke a little harder, the skin would be separated by the sword blade, Dongfang Ziyan's pupils suddenly narrowed, cold sweat soaked his back, Shangguan Yuanji asked viciously: "Are you really Dongfang Ziyan of the Dongfang family?!" ”

Dongfang Ziyan hesitated for a while, then nodded in a cold sweat.

"If you have half a lie! I'm going to let you go! Shangguan Yuan said sharply.

Dongfang Ziyan gritted his teeth and let go, he said loudly: "My father is Dongfang Xiao, and my brother is Dongfang Lie, how can there be a fake?" Even if I hate my father, I can't change that fact. You saved me, my life is yours, you can take it whenever you want, if you want to hand me over to the Senate, I will not resist! She closed her eyes.

The sword flashed, and Shangguan Yuanji withdrew the sword and held it in his left hand, and slowly stood up. Dongfang Ziyan was puzzled, looked at Shangguan Yuanji, and saw Shangguan Yuanji touching the blade of the sword with his right hand, and said: "My 'Wind Cut' is an heirloom of my family, and I heard from my father that it is an alchemy sword made by Dongfang Caesar, the old master of the Dongfang family, and my grandfather, Shangguan Yingbu. He withdrew his sword from its scabbard and stretched out his right hand to Dongfang Ziyan, "Father Shangguan Feihu, you know who I am, right?" ”

The Shangguan family, the "inner four families" with the same name as the three families of the East West Gate and the North Underworld, among these four families, the Dongfang family and the Shangguan family are the target of the entire Hongjun Empire and even the entire human race, and the four families have had a good relationship since ancient times, and the two old masters of the Dongfang family and the Shangguan family are friends of life and death. Shangguan Feihu, the current head of the Shangguan family, is known as the "Wind Demon God of War", and Dongfang Xiao is also a very righteous brother, the two have made a vow, and after their last son is born, they will be brothers of the opposite sex, and if they give birth to a daughter, they will marry Jin Lan.

"Shangguan Feihu? You mean Uncle Shangguan, your surname is Shangguan······ Shangguan Yuanji······" Dongfang Ziyan was pulled up by him and shouted: "Then aren't you my ······?"

"My father told me since I was a child that I had a brother of the opposite sex in Dongyi named Dongfang Ziyan, but I never met him. When you were unconscious, I saw that you looked similar to Uncle Dongfang Xiao, as expected! My brother. Shangguan Yuanji hugged Ziyan. In this scene, Dongfang Ziyan felt like he was dreaming, because for eleven years, he had been looking forward to the opposite sex brother that his brother said about him, he had no friends since he was a child, and finally met Shangguan Yuanji.

Dongyi Domain: South Gate of Ruolan Outer City

Dongfang Xiao stood at the head of the city, looking at the vast plain in the distance, the wind blew his forehead hair, and there was no expression on his face.

"Big brother, the Senate has issued a notice and issued an expulsion order for Ziyan, what should we do?" It was Dongfang Xiao's second brother who spoke, the main officer of the Dongfang family, and Dongfang Yuan, the governor of Dongyi Fengming Pass. Also standing on the side were Zuo Lin and Dongfang Lie.

Dongfang Xiao didn't respond, still looking into the distance.

Two days ago, Dongfang Ziyan was stabbed by the senate holy servants hidden in the guards, and both the Dongfang family and the senate didn't have time to make another move, and suddenly a terrifying storm struck, fast and powerful, and the inner city was suddenly full of flying sand and rocks, and the two holy servants who assassinated Ziyan were knocked away by the strong wind, and the visibility of the scene was zero, and then Ziyan disappeared, leaving no clues and reactions. The patriarch was shocked by this, but he couldn't do anything to the family until he found evidence, so he had to go back to Chihong. If Dongfang Xiao made a move at that time, he would naturally be sure to prevent Ziyan from being taken away, because according to the destructive power of the storm, the strength of the person who rescued Ziyan was very strong, and he could even fight with Dongfang Xiao, but at that moment, Dongfang Xiao hesitated, he hesitated between ethics and family affection and morality and etiquette, and it was too late for him to react.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Dongfang Lie looked up and asked.

"I heard it, yesterday I have secretly spread the news to the other three families, as soon as there is news of Ziyan, they will secretly notify me, I think the Senate should not dare to make any big moves on the bright side in the near future." Dongfang Xiao said

Zuo Lin stood behind him with his big knife, digging out his ears and bored, Dongfang Yuan said seriously, "Big brother, we have sent thirteen groups of people to find clues. ”

"Send more people, but don't let the news go." Dongfang Xiao said.

"Big brother, it would be nice if the alliance was still there now, if there is a 'sickle', it will be found out soon." Dongfang Yuan said.

"Okay, it's man-made, you go down and arrange it first." Dongfang Xiao said.

"Yes." Dongfang Yuan turned around and went down.

"Second Uncle go slowly!" Dongfang Lie sent his second uncle away, turned to his father and said, "I'm going to find Ziyan too, please let my father allow me!" ”

"You can't go, Ziyan is now fully wanted in the country, your goal is too obvious, besides, you still have important things to do at the border, and after half a month, the Vulcan Army (an independent army of the Eastern Family, subordinate to the Imperial Tiger Army) will return to the border."

"The head of the family is right, if you go out, you will be exposed." Zolin echoed.

Dongfang Lie scolded bitterly and punched the city wall, "Damn the Senate, our Dongfang family has sold their lives for them for so many years, but they make things difficult for us everywhere because of Ziyan's affairs, it's really annoying!" I don't understand, father, Emperor Xuan is incompetent, the Great Sage Master ignores the world, and the Senate implements hegemony under the dictatorship! Why should we follow their orders?! ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan," Dongfang Xiao said lightly, "The first Xuan Emperor and the first emperor were kind to our Dongfang family, and our Dongfang family will fight to the death to defend the Hongjun Empire and revive the human race." ”

After a period of earnest inducement, Dongfang Lie finally calmed down. Dongfang Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "I know that although you have been taught, you are unwilling, but you have to remember that you are my eldest son, and you will have to take on greater responsibilities than me. For the Senate, we will definitely have a day of resistance, but not now," he said, he looked into the distance again, "Regarding Ziyan, he is very calm and intelligent like your mother, he will be fine if he escapes this catastrophe, we must believe in his own strength." ”

"I think Flying Fox must think the same way." Dongfang Xiao looked into the distance, and the clouds in the sky were like his heart, floating far, far away.

Eschenem Field Modibia Forest

Dongfang Ziyan and Shangguan Yuanji were walking in the dense forest, they were not walking aimlessly, Shangguan Yuanji's purpose in coming to this forest was to go through the forest and go to the border to observe the neighboring enemy country of the Yaslan Empire in the northwest. Yuan Ji and Ziyan are the same age as Eleven years old, but Shangguan Yuan Ji has been judged to be a genius because of his strong courage since he was born, and now he can deal with more than 20 adult men without a problem.

As he walked, Shangguan Yuanji suddenly took out a small pocket from his belt, "Ziyan, do you know what this is?" ”

"Although I haven't seen it, but I saw it in the autobiography of the alchemy machine master Shangguan Renming, this is an alchemy product, called 'Jinbi Liantian Bag', it is said that this thing is a finished product of alchemy, and it uses alchemy to supplement the power of courage to open up space, and it can even fit into heaven and earth, hence the name." Dongfang Ziyan said as he walked.

Yuan Ji laughed, "I didn't expect you to know quite a lot, that's right, this is the work of Tie Qiusheng, the greatest alchemy saint in the history of the human race, Qiusheng Ancestor, but it is an exaggeration, it is impossible to fit into heaven and earth, but the space inside is a bit about a hundred square meters." With that, Ziyan took out a sword from the bag and handed it to Ziyan, "Brother, I'm a month older than you, but your brother is not prepared for the first meeting, and seeing that you didn't take anything, this 'Huoqiu' should be regarded as a meeting gift." ”

"Fire? Could it be that the legend sealed the dragon's fire-attribute alchemy sword? Dongfang Ziyan was shocked, took the fiery sword, and tried the weight, it was not heavy.

"This forest is in danger at any time, so it's better to take precautions!" Shangguan Yuanji said, his expression immediately became alert, and he whispered, "There are people around here, be careful." After saying that, he found a towering tree according to his "mind", and after walking a few hundred meters, he jumped onto the treetops in three steps and two steps. The tree is very dense, and when you get up the tree, it is obvious that someone is talking. Shangguan Yuanji made a shushing gesture and walked to the other end of the treetops, his movements were extremely light, there was no sound at all, he gently brushed away the branches, and from the gap, she saw a terrifying picture!!

Not far from the tree, five tall men in white robes were standing together, all wearing terrifying masks, one of the five was striking a man on the ground with his fist, the face of the man on the ground was already bloody and fleshy, and the violent blow destroyed the ground under his feet, and the blood stained the fist of the white-robed man red, and the sound of the man's wail and the cracking of bones was heard.

Ziyan also stepped forward, he was stunned, although Shangguan Yuanji was very calm, he also broke out in a cold sweat. Ziyan was just about to speak, but Yuan Ji immediately covered his mouth. "That's ... The superior attendant of the Senate!!" Ziyan's eyes widened.

There are six senators at the top of the Senate, and they are the masterminds of the Senate, but in addition to the six senators, there are eight important roles in the upper echelons of the Senate, who are the highest combat power of the Senate, known as the head of the four families in strength, known as the "Eight Holy Servants", in charge of all the Holy Servant Legions. The eight holy servants have never shown their faces, and they rarely appear in public, and the only people who have contact with them are the patriarchs, they have no names, only code names named after the stars in the sky: Ziwei, Wenqu, Wuqu, Greedy Wolf, Broken Army, Jumen, Lu Cun, Lian Zhen, it is said that these eight people are wearing white robes and masks with strange pictures, it seems that this should be the superior saint of the Senate.

Dongfang Ziyan had palpitations, it was easy for an ordinary holy servant to kill him, let alone the eight holy servants!! His body trembled, and Yuan Ji quickly grabbed him and stabilized his body, but because of this, the branches shook violently!

"Since you've been watching it for so long, let's come out and talk and make friends!" The greedy wolf under the tree said suddenly, and immediately looked at the tree where Ziyan and Yuan Ji were hiding, and cold sweat soaked their clothes.

This sucks······
