Chapter 1: Champion Hou

Ten years of Shenlong.

Great Zhou, the capital.

Natural dwelling.

The appearance of a blind old man made the atmosphere of the natural residence instantly noisy.

Natural Residence is one of the best restaurants in Beijing, and it is rare that there is no threshold, high-ranking officials and dignitaries can come, and ordinary people can also come.

As long as you can afford to pay, Natural Home will give you the best service.

Therefore, even if the natural residence is not as good as several other restaurants with the same name as it, after all, those restaurants are only open to high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but in terms of fame and business, the natural residence can be said to be the most popular.

Today, the business of natural homes is more prosperous than usual.

Because today the natural residence invited the storyteller on the stage, this is a legendary figure, who once personally went to the front line and followed the champion Hou deep behind the enemy, and his hands were stained with a lot of demon blood.

Because of the war, he permanently lost both of his eyes. After the war, the imperial court prepared a rich reward, but he gave all the money and goods from the imperial court to the families of the soldiers who died in battle, and then refused the official position of the imperial court and drifted away.

In his words, I am a cloth in the rivers and lakes, from the rivers and lakes, to the rivers and lakes.

This kind of legendary figure has naturally won the respect of people all over the world.

Since then, he has wandered the world and become a storyteller, telling stories he has experienced or heard all over the country.

Because he had experienced that brutal war and was recognized as a meritorious veteran, everywhere he went, everyone watched him, and countless people were proud to hear his story.

Today's natural dwellings, all good places have been booked by those big people. After all, many of the princes and marquis of the dynasty were former comrades-in-arms of the storyteller.

Since the end of the "Vertical Arch Battle" against the demons, this is the first time that the storyteller has set foot in the capital.

Many old friends have been looking forward to it for a long time.

The old storyteller sat down on the stage, nodded around, and then returned the salute.

"I've seen Bai Lao."

"Lao Bai, long time no see."

"Bai Lao, what are you going to say today?"

The corners of the storyteller's mouth twitched, as if he was laughing, and then, everyone in the natural dwelling heard his voice:

"Today, the old man will tell you the story of the champion Hou."

There was a moment of silence in nature.

Then, the natural habitat resounded with thunderous applause.

"Bai Lao is Bai Lao."

"It's worth it, it's worth it, the seat bought for a thousand taels of silver is too worthwhile."

"How long has it been, how long has it been since I heard the word champion Hou in the capital?"

Many people wept with joy.

Ten years ago, the "Vertical Arch Battle" that affected the entire world, if it weren't for the birth of the champion Hou, I am afraid that today's human race would all become slaves of the demon race.

However, due to some objective factors, in the past ten years, the whole world has not dared to mention the name of "Champion Hou".

Especially in the capital.

Only the identity of the storyteller can dare to tell the story of the champion Hou openly.

Many high-ranking princes and marquis have complicated expressions at the moment, and their eyes are full of admiration when they look at the storyteller.

The storyteller raised his hand, and in an instant, the natural crow was silent.

As a veteran who survived the Battle of the Vertical Arch, he was naturally a great cultivator.

However, everyone listened to him, not because of his cultivation, but because of his merits.

"Speaking of the champion Hou, we have to talk about the 'battle of the vertical arch'. Twenty years ago, a black hole appeared in the sky, and countless alien races emerged from the black hole, which is what we call the demon race. ”

"According to the information that Champion Hou later discovered, these demons came from another world, and the way they became stronger was to kill. Therefore, their appearance is destined to be with us to the death. They want not only to occupy our homes, but also our lives. ”

"The individual combat power of the demon clan far surpasses that of our Great Zhou people, even if he is the top master in the martial arts, he is just an ordinary middle-level warrior in the demon clan. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Great Zhou was defeated and retreated, and the country was almost destroyed. ”

"The first emperor was helpless at that time, so he issued a holy decree and issued a recruitment order, calling on people of insight in the world to unite and fight against the demons together."

"In order to reassure the martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes, the first emperor retreated into the background, changed the year name to 'Vertical Arch', and ruled by Vertical Arch, which is the origin of the name 'Vertical Arch War'."

"The emperor's recruitment order has indeed won a lot of talents for fighting the demons. And with the development of time, we have gradually found that many martial arts masters are becoming stronger, and the upper limit that originally shackled martial artists has begun to disappear. ”

"The individual combat power of our human race is gradually on par with that of the demon race."

"The real opportunity for our human race's individual combat power to keep pace with or even surpass the demon race is because of the appearance of the champion Hou."

Hearing the storyteller talk about the champion Hou, many people were in high spirits.

The storyteller also deliberately paused, and then continued: "Champion Hou Tianzong is a wizard, and he has pointed out a way forward for my Terran warriors. He selflessly shared his insights with everyone, leading us Terran warriors to embark on the path of cultivation. ”

"And this is also the beginning of our human race's counterattack on the demon race."

"After the champion Hou joined the army to fight against the demons, he made many achievements, and was exceptionally promoted to the champion Hou at the age of twenty. Under the leadership of the champion Hou, the Great Zhou gradually reversed the disadvantage against the demons, and finally defeated the demons ten years ago, so that the current Great Zhou has a peaceful and prosperous era. ”

"In the decisive battle with the demons in the final battle, the champion Hou used himself as bait to attract the main army of the demons to his side. Then, catch them all. What makes people sigh is that the desperate counterattack of the demon clan finally made the champion Hou Yingnian die young. ”

Speaking of which, the old storyteller is full of tears.

Many people who know ~ people also have red eyes.

But there are also a lot of people who are very strange: "Since the champion Hou has such great merits, why have few people mentioned his name in the past ten years?" ”

The old storyteller answered this doubt: "Because His Majesty is now following the champion Hou with the dignity of a princess in the 'Battle of the Vertical Arch', and accompanying the champion Hou to fight in the south and the north, he has already made a private decision for life. At that time, His Majesty and Champion Hou were the two most dazzling stars, and His Majesty was brought out by Champion Hou. The champion Hou died, and His Majesty was in great pain. From then on, whenever he heard the name of the champion Hou, His Majesty would burst into tears. Over time, no one dared to mention the name of the champion Hou anymore. ”

Only a veteran like him dares to defy the world's condemnation.

Many people suddenly realized.

"No wonder Your Majesty has not enriched the Hou~ Palace so far."

"It turns out that Your Majesty and Champion Hou used to be a couple."

"It's a pity, if the champion Hou is still alive, how good it would be, Your Majesty won't be so sad."

A quarter of an hour later.

Naturally located on the top floor of the private room.

After the storyteller entered the room, he saw the familiar back, and knelt directly on the ground excitedly.

"Marshal, you're finally back."

Mu Zhi turned around and helped the old storyteller.

"yes, I'm back. The Emperor would have been disappointed if he knew that I was still alive. ”
