Chapter 20: The Old Man's Memories

So what's the point in this chapter? I was still hesitating, but I heard a sentence last night: Since no one is watching, how happy can I come. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm not a book that many people read, so how happy I am.

So, this chapter is about the brain plot of the shrine.

On the map, there is a place called Pinghai Town in the north of Sulan City. Legend has it that there is an altar of the Black Emperor in Pinghai Town, and there is a Hanging House of the Divine Language Academy's power branch to help take care of the Black Emperor's artifact. As a small town near the Black Emperor's Altar, Pinghai Town is undoubtedly important. But between Sulan City and Pinghai Town, there is a fortress, and the fortress is called Donghai. The East China Sea Fortress guarding the eastern sea of the Yunchui Empire and the Rock Hammer Fortress guarding the western desert are both known as the Yunchui Fortress. As a barrier to the East China Sea, it stands to reason that it should be heavily garrisoned, not to mention three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and even the troops stationed are rare. However, there are many angry scale exorcists in Pinghai Town who help guard the vicinity of the fortress, why is this?

It turned out that there was a shrine that had been abandoned for many years between Pinghai Town and the fortress, and this shrine was the former site of the Xingheng Sect. Originally, the Xingheng Sect brought disasters to the mainland due to its research on the power of the desolate current, which attracted the powerful people of the continent to suppress it one after another. The Xingheng Sect has disappeared for many years, and it is much more low-key when it comes back again. However, there are still many disasters that have been caused, and the defenders of the East China Sea Fortress have withdrawn and are under the supervision of the Fury Scale Exorcist. In the vicinity of the shrine, the power of the desolate stream often overflows from the shrine, and it is very dangerous for ordinary humans to come into contact with this power, and most of them have become ugly demonized minions and have lost their minds.

Legend has it that although the shrine has kept a low profile over the years, from time to time a huge monster will come out to spread the aura of the wilderness and capture nearby humans. None of those who have been captured have returned alive so far. These things will naturally attract the attention of the powerful people from all sides, and if it weren't for the recent lack of worry everywhere on the mainland, they would have rushed into the shrine to find out.

One might ask about the power of the wilderness. As mentioned earlier, the Yunchui Continent is full of disasters and difficulties. I don't know how many years ago, the demon invaded the continent with the power of the desolate stream, and the desolate stream ruthlessly eroded every living creature on the continent, which could not be stopped. In order to purify the desolate currents that endanger human beings, the Yellow Emperor was willing to sacrifice himself and absorb the desolate currents. Unfortunately, the Yellow Emperor did not succeed, and his erosion by the wilderness caused the subsequent War of the Five Emperors.

From here, you can know that the Aragard Stream is a bit dangerous. The Xingheng Sect actually dared to study, which was really commendable. Now that the Xingheng Sect has returned, there must be some good progress, otherwise it won't be tenable.

Now, there are a lot of people who have been demonized by the Wild Stream on the East China Sea coast outside the shrine, and some dead corpses have crawled out of the cemetery by the Wild Stream (yes, it does look a bit like Resident Evil). Fortunately, the desolate current created by the Xingheng Sect is too far less powerful than the desolate current that triggered the battle of the Five Emperors. You know, the influence of the power of the desolate current still exists today. And looking at it like that, the influence of the desolate current has become the power that has been passed down from generation to generation of human beings.

The deserted shrine was built in a huge cave, and it is not clear what kind of illumination the cave is, and I want to know where I want to go. Since it is a cave, there must be a mountain. At the top of this mountain, there was an old man sitting with his back against a boulder. The old man seemed to have experienced a lot of things here, holding a cigarette stick, taking two puffs from time to time, looking left and right. Sometimes the old man stared at the sea, sometimes at the fortress, and sometimes at the shrine below, not knowing what he was thinking. Perhaps, there is something from the past here that the old man will never forget, and he wants to see it before he dies.

It was a long, long time ago, and I don't know how long ago. At that time, the East China Sea Fortress was still a bulgar of Yunchui, and the fortress was guarded by General Pinghai. The general may have been capable in his youth, but the older he gets, the more mediocre he becomes. Perhaps God took pity on his hard work when he was young, and the general surnamed Zhang he inadvertently promoted was a rare tiger general! The bravery of this tiger general is unparalleled in the world, and the most important thing is that this tiger general attaches great importance to the general's kindness and is extremely loyal.

The loyalty and bravery of this tiger general were deeply appreciated by the general, and he soon became a genuine general because of his outstanding military exploits, and the general surnamed Zhang was famous for a while. The young General Zhang did not marry a wife, and he became famous at such a young age, so it was naturally a good choice to marry a daughter. General Zhang politely refused at first, and then, he was annoyed by the endless stream of matchmakers, and even the training sergeants were disturbed. So countless matchmakers were turned away, and later everyone heard about General Zhang's affair, and gradually no one went to eat the closed soup.

The old man took a hard puff and put down his cigarette stick to fill some tobacco. The old man's eyes were a little warm, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, maybe the memories just now reminded him of something happy? However, then the old man's eyes gradually became gloomy.

One day, General Zhang's warship returned from the sea and returned to the city to report on his work. Recently, the enemy at sea is ready to move, and I am afraid that there will be all kinds of small frictions and temptations in the future. As soon as the ship docked, the general personally received General Zhang. This is a bit strange, but it is just a sea patrol, and there is not necessarily such treatment when returning from a big victory. Although General Zhang felt strange, he didn't think much about it and followed him to the General's Mansion.

The General's Mansion is still so luxurious. It can't be called a five-step first floor, and a ten-step pavilion. The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are high pecked, but it is not far away. Today, the mansion has been specially decorated to make it even more magnificent. However, General Zhang didn't like this place, and he didn't like the banquet in front of him. This banquet is full of weirdness, not that there is a problem with the wine and food, this is with General Zhang's strength, it is easy to detect whether the wine and food are poisoned, unless it is a rare treasure. After the specially decorated mansion, with General Zhang's eyesight, he can easily see the strangeness of the mansion guards, whether it is eyes, momentum, or ...... Quantity. The general who organized the banquet spoke very strangely today, and there were many temptations between his words, often talking about the kindness of knowing him back then, and I don't know if it was the old man who missed the old days. The general also brought his son with him during the conversation, and there was a lot of meaning to let General Zhang assist and take care of him a lot.

The son of the general, General Zhang doesn't like it, whether it is his behavior, character, or ability. He felt that the general's biggest failure was probably this son, but since he was the general's son, he still had to give a few thin noodles. The general's son was a little nervous, and he didn't know if he was intimidated by his prestige, so he just exchanged a few polite words between the two.

In one night, there were countless interesting facts about the banquet. The general didn't know if he was drunk, and his trembling hands broke several glass cups, and he didn't know if his distressed hands were shaking. The brother who once fought in a camp has now become the guard of the General's Mansion, and the guard stared at General Zhang with strange eyes and a little anxious. It was getting late, so General Zhang took his leave and left the mansion.

"Why don't you leave him!"

"I can't stay, this person is unstoppable, how can the shadow guard make a move until a special moment."

"But! Just let him go, and if he knows about it, I'll die! ”

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and it seemed to fan something, "It's not you rebel, you did such a stupid thing to make me lose a tiger general!" ”

"Woo......" someone whispered.

"Don't cry, you're my only son, who will help you if I don't help you?"

......
