Chapter 352: The Art of Words and Spirits
On the grasslands that stretch for thousands of miles in the north, there are wolf banners.
They live in the company of cows, sheep and wolves, and both men and women are strong warriors.
However, the extreme cold of the far north has invaded the grasslands, making the environment in which they live more and more harsh.
In order to get food, they traveled south from outside the Saiwai and attacked the Great Wall again and again.
At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos, and the anxious princes had no time to deal with this group of savages, and could not let them plunder, so they had to unite and negotiate with them.
In the end, a tentative armistice was reached at the expense of food and cloth.
Along with these peace gifts arrived the princess who was kind.
The Wolf Banner sent the princess to their sacred place, the Sea of Winter, and sacrificed her to the gods as a bride.
They believe that this will allow their gods to re-enter the world and protect their tribes.
Over time, this evolved into a cruel and sacred tradition.
However, after years of war, several powerful countries began to rise on the mainland.
The rulers no longer needed the covenant and began to plot to wipe out the barbarians of the north.
They hatched a brutal conspiracy: to attack the entire grassland while the people were unprepared for the festival.
On that day, the whole land turned red. Later history books record this event as a "bloody wedding".
Even so, the generals were not satisfied.
They also want to find the treasures in the glacier - the place where the princesses are buried, where the treasures that the barbarians have dedicated to the gods over the years.
The executioners got their wish.
Everyone cheered and celebrated the unprecedented success, busy bringing the piles of gold back to the Central Plains.
Before they knew it, however, the sky was dark, and a blizzard struck, followed by a great avalanche.
Is this the wrath of the Wolf Banner Gods? The soldier who had just been invincible fled with a wail, but the way back was blocked by snow and ice.
They could only struggle like worms in amber, watching their bodies frozen in transparent coffins.
After the night, the sky gradually cleared.
The surviving Wolf Banner people came out of hiding place and surrounded their princess, Wang Zhaojun.
Her elegant, beautiful, bright eyes were full of sorrow, and her slender fingers brushed the cold and hideous faces of the visitors from her hometown.
"Tell me, are the plum blossoms blooming in my hometown?"
The interests are the greatest, and they come first, this is the style of the conspirator Liu Bang.
He seems to be an alternative among the pious people of the Great River Valley: ignoring faith, bent on profit, unscrupulous in order to achieve the end, in the face of the rule of the Yin and Yang family, he has a plan in his heart to replace him!
With the help of his friend Zhang Liang, he spied the secrets of the sacrifices of the Yin and Yang families, slaughtered them and devoured the ritual power, Liu Bang firmly believed that fate favored him, and the conquest that opened the curtain was not limited to the land under his feet.
Yunmengze, one of the most mysterious regions in the East.
The river flows slowly, leaving forests, swamps and ruins along the way.
The beliefs of the primeval rulers are still inherited here, and the power to interpret these beliefs is in the hands of the Yin and Yang families.
With this power, and the "miracles" they wield, they ruled the land.
The stars change, and no matter how pious the place is, it will eventually produce decay and depravity.
The Yin and Yang families gradually grew old and no longer adapted to the times, and the original strict order began to gradually disintegrate, and soon, there were opportunistic guys who saw the opportunity and tried to profit from it.
Liu Bang is one of them.
Among the pious people of the Great River, he is so different: he ignores faith, but also zeals profit, and is even more unscrupulous.
With painstaking drilling, he sought a small official position, but soon found that the pay was not proportional to the gain - the adults used him and guarded against him.
He didn't want to pretend to be a fool in vain, and a bold idea arose about the primeval mystery that was the only non-entity in the hands of the Yin-Yang Sect and needed to be revealed through rituals.
If you get a "miracle", can you replace the Yin and Yang families and become the king of this land? The thought made him excited.
He dared to be so delusional, thanks to his genius friend Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang, who has mastered the power of speech and spirit, frequently causes big trouble because of unpopular things, and even has to worry about the next meal.
Liu Bang relieved him and gained his trust, and without much effort, he persuaded him to lead him to Daze, which led to the "miracle" of the Yin and Yang family's sacrifices.
Zhang Liang himself was also curious about the so-called "miracle".
With the power of words, they succeeded in confusing the guards and witnessing a mysterious ritual.
The brilliant light of the "miracle" shrouded the nine yin and yang masters who were muttering incantations, and the two who were peeping.
Zhang Liang had a dialogue with the "miracle" with words. What had he heard?
Master Jiang Ziya's words were confirmed, and there were many more...... More...... About the fate of the Great Demon God King......
As for Liu Bang, he was excited about the amazing discovery...... When the onmyoji in the ceremony unveiled the mysterious masks...... Ah, it turns out that the people who rule Yun Mengze are actually such a group of ...... A bunch of monsters!
The true face of the Yin and Yang family! At that moment, an even more exciting plan came to his mind.
He secretly drew his talisman sword.
The ceremony is completed, and the yin and yang families end their worship one by one.
At the moment when the last Yin and Yang family was left alone, a shameless sneak attack was launched.
The ruler on high wailed and revealed his true face—the face of a serpent.
Zhang Liang also joined the battle, and the shackles of the spirit of words wrapped around him, making him unable to move.
I only heard the wailing echo, and the "ritual soul" of the Yin and Yang family turned into ashes in this way, and the power that had nowhere to be placed entered Liu Bang's body.
Zhang Liang was in a complicated mood and looked at the ecstatic man in front of him.
The moment he made a move, he decided to follow him.
Fate has begun to reincarnate again, and as Jiang Ziya's disciple, he must make a choice.
It takes a guy to cut off this terrible fate.
Even if he is so ambitious.
"Not objectively, I'm a good person!"
Do geniuses also have troubles? For Zhang Liang, who is not worldly, the good thing is that Liu Bang will always solve the siege, and he naturally trusts him and becomes a friend.
So the genius Liang willingly followed Liu Bang and helped him seize the power of miracles.
In the ancient, almost deserted monasteries, dangerous magic sleeps.
There used to be an old man named Jiang Ziya who lived in seclusion here, secretly cultivating heirs who could inherit his ambitions.
There may be many geniuses in the world, but there are very few people like Zhang Liang who ignore the existing demon system and create their own unique magic.
The demonic path he created himself is called "Speech Spirit".
He completely broke through the barriers of language and mastered almost all human languages in the world.
In his ears, all things are truly one.
Yes, he can even talk to the continent, to the whole world.
This brings him infinitely closer to the truth of the world.
All the spells used by mages are vulnerable to this ability.
Even Jiang Ziya trembled with the power of his disciple, and he seemed to see infinite possibilities.
Now that he has broken through the cognition of the world, he is naturally no longer an ordinary person.
Yes – as long as Zhang Liang is willing, he can become a god at any time.
Maybe this disciple can correct the order of the world that has been chaotic for too long!
Shouldering such a mission, Zhang Liang entered the world.
What he is facing is the division and confrontation of Yun Mengze.
That rising youth, Xiang Yu, as Master said, is it the reincarnation of the legendary Great Demon God King?
It's funny.
