Fanyang, also known as Youzhou.

At noon, the southern city wall.

Outside the city walls was originally a dense forest, but at the beginning of the year, the Lord ordered it to be cut down for military use. In addition to making weapons such as bows, arrows, and spears from wood, An Lushan also sold wood in large quantities in exchange for good horses.

In recent years, An Lushan and the dead party party Siming intend to strengthen the cavalry strength of the three counties. Up to now, the cavalry battalions of Fanyang and Pinglu counties are large-scale, and it is claimed that there are 50,000 elite light cavalry. But who knows if it will be greater than this number? From the mouths of the villagers of Fanyang, they can only know that when the cavalry of the three counties exercised together, the vast and boundless open space outside the southern gate of Fanyang was dusty, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts shook the sky. When it's over, the dust can float in the air all night.

However, on this day, the south city gate used for military training was not as lively as before. The gates of the city were tightly closed, but inside the city walls, the narrow path in the middle of the barracks was full of villagers who had come to watch. Lord An Lushan will personally execute ten felons on the castle tower.

I've never heard of Lord Ann personally handling such trivial matters. Moreover, during the interrogation of the Yamen, these ten prisoners were also sentenced to the most heinous felons. The yamen also asked them to come and watch the execution, and although the villagers of Fanyang had not heard of any crimes committed by these people, they still obediently came to watch the excitement.

The villagers under the city tower were crowded with onlookers, all of whom looked a little yellow and thin, all because of the drought and flood some time ago. But fortunately, An Daren has finally opened a warehouse for disaster relief recently, and every family can finally have something to eat. This is already a blessing to the people who are suffering from hunger.

There was a sudden movement on the city gate, and the people below hurriedly turned their eyes to it. I saw that eight more soldiers in iron armor stood on top of the tower. An Lushan, who was as fat as a mountain, walked out, and the soldiers hurriedly brought a Taishi chair over, An Lushan sat behind them with a big belly, and the one who quickly picked up a fan to fan him was An Lushan's most trusted attendant, Li Zhu'er. Li Zhu'er's lean figure and An Lushan's mountain-like belly are put together, which makes people laugh.

Then the man who walked up to the city tower was An Lushan's sworn friend, Shi Siming, and a burly man with a red tassel on his head, who was the number one Hu general under the Pinglu County account, and his status could be called An Shi's brother - Cai Xide.

The two of them each pushed a huge cage, and it could be seen that there were five full-body ** people locked up inside, most of them were young men and women. The individual has no skin, and there is not a single wound on the whole body. Everyone's eyes were gray, and when you looked closer, you could only find that their eyes and the whites of their eyes had completely merged into a kind of gray, as if they had long lost their minds.

They allowed ten soldiers to rudely pull them out of their cages and slam them to the ground. **'s body was in front of the villagers watching from the city tower. Many people hurriedly covered their eyes, afraid that they were looking at something they shouldn't see.

But it didn't. The cruel and tyrannical Hu Ren inquisitor will naturally not let go of the torture of their genitals for these poor worms who have been thrown into the prison of Youzhou. All you can see is a few blackened blood scabs on the lower bodies of a few prisoners, a huge one, blocking those unsightly things.

No one could have imagined that they were alive, oh no, they still breathe a sigh of relief. No one could have imagined how terrible they were tortured. And he was so fat that even breathing would make people feel that he would not be able to breathe, An Lushan, leaning on the Taishi chair, told all the people below in a loud voice that there was only one reason for torturing them like this,

"These ten people are followers of an evil organization organized by Yang Guozhong's traitorous ministers! They have committed evil deeds in Fanyang County, which is an official of their own government, and their attitude is extremely bad after they are arrested. Fortunately, the official had already figured out the details of the organization, and only then did he know that they were originally one of them. You may not know what this organization is. It can be said that it is not only a tool for sedition, but Yang Guozhong, a traitor, wants to use the organization he created to frame his own officials and harm our Fanyang Three Counties!"

"No matter what, this official will never allow this kind of thing to happen!"

The ten prisoners who had been tortured to the point of losing their minds hung their heads in a daze, ignoring An Lushan's righteous indignation, ignoring the people below who gradually became agitated.

When they chose to believe in the Heavenly Lack Sect, they didn't know that this matter was related to the big names of Jiwen Yang Guozhong. And the crime they committed, stealing a few chickens and a few jugs of wine, why is the crime to death?

But they will never get a chance to redress their grievances. They can only pay with their lives for this exhausting struggle for power.

An Lushan patted the Taishi chair. A man who looked like a civil official walked up to the castle tower. An Lushan nodded, signaling that he could begin to explain the organization and the crimes they had committed to the people. Of course, adding oil and vinegar is a must.

"Good job... Hehe. If Lord An can maintain such a cool and spicy method to treat those shameless thieves in the future, our Tu Feng Sect will definitely always support you......" An Lushan faintly saw that a hand was caressing and stroking each prisoner's body, as if admiring a perfect sculpture. The old man's heavy and kind voice sounded in his ears, Xuan Neng.

Ten soldiers slashed and fell, and in the angry condemnation of the ten prisoners and even Yang Guozhong, ten human heads fell under the city tower with already cold blood.

......

Four days later, on the last day of Mr. Liu Li's funeral, early in the morning.

The most lively street in Liyang has long been crowded, and there is no one setting up a stall on both sides of the market on this day, but it is crowded with countless people. After a week, even those who originally participated in the funeral with a lively mentality waited for Mr. Liu Li's hearse to pass by with tears in their eyes.

In the past few days, not only the propaganda of Zhiyunguan is decent, but the piety of the Yang brothers and sisters when they mourn is even more seen by the neighbors. However, the point that resonates most with the people of Liyang is Mr. Liu Li's cultivation. He was born in Liyang, a land with a strong monastic atmosphere, and with his own skills, he reached the Dan period that ordinary people would never dare to imagine! You must know that the most virtuous and respected head of the sea in the county is also a cultivator in the Dan period.

Based on this alone, Liu Li's image is constantly elevated in their hearts. In particular, the large number of Dao Gang disciples all have a true respect for the strong. So since the funeral that began yesterday, there have been no fewer people on the streets of Liyang.

After last night, the funeral team composed of the Yang family, servants, and entourages happened to come here to rest. By this afternoon, the coffin will be sent to the cemetery as scheduled, and Mr. Liu Li will be officially buried in the ground.

Xia Fanxing and the others followed all the way. And the people who were supposed to accompany the Yang family and the people of the Seed Sea Dao, after talking with Xia Fanxing that night, announced that they were slightly ill and wanted to meditate for a few days. Although he finally persuaded Chonghai that night, Xia Fanxing didn't know how Chonghai planned to implement the plan, so he found an excuse to hide first.

As soon as the hour came, the streets immediately became lively. Mourning was heard from afar. The atmosphere on both sides of the avenue grew stronger as the music approached. After a while, the jasper coffin was carried by four servants in white cloth mourning clothes, followed by more than a dozen Yang family musicians, playing all kinds of musical instruments as they walked, and the sound of funeral music was particularly loud. At the end, followed by the two brothers and sisters of the Yang family, each holding an autumn chrysanthemum in their hands, their mourning clothes are as simple as the people around them. They had been following like this for a day, not opening a single mouth, and walking with the funeral party a little numbly.

Now it's autumn, and autumn chrysanthemums have emerged. Many of the onlookers brought a bouquet of freshly picked chrysanthemums and scattered them on the ground after the coffin passed by. Xia Fanxing saw the coffin walking in their direction, and the extremely unreal feeling when Yang Xuan shouted his soul on the first day reappeared, as if Liu Li in the jasper coffin was not dead yet, and was calling out loudly.

Scattered the chrysanthemum petals on his hand indiscriminately. When Xia Fanxing's gaze touched the white chrysanthemums all over the ground again, he suddenly felt a headache. He took a sharp breath, and the coffin walked over, the crowd behind him pushing them forward. Xia Fanxing walked impatiently, and his eyes couldn't take off the slowly moving jasper coffin.

What's going on? I was fine the other day. Xia Fanxing felt severe dizziness and tried to take a deep breath to relieve the pain. But to no avail. Seeing his strange appearance, Ji Yanliu beside him stretched out his hand, touched his cheek, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The feeling of dizziness became more and more intense, and Xia Fanxing was afraid that he would make a fool of himself later. He squeezed out a forced smile and said to her, "It's okay, I feel... Head... It hurts..."Xia Fanxing's eyes were closed, and he took two steps with difficulty, he patted Ji Yanliu's face, and said with pain, "I'm fine... It's good for you to follow Jin Dao Chang and them, I'm going to... Take a break..."

He didn't notice at all that his last sentence was actually a little crying.

Xia Fanxing really couldn't bear the pain on his head. He squeezed his way through the crowd and squeezed into a place where no one was around, in front of a closed shop. He immediately sat down. All he could feel was that everyone in front of him was facing forward and moving slowly..... His eyes went dark. You can feel an extremely noisy sound ringing in your ears.

At this moment, he didn't know, and no one in the crowd noticed. The jasper coffin, which was carried slowly forward, let out a cough inside, as if it had been sleeping for endless years. And the next sigh, Xia Fanxing heard it.

There was no other consciousness in his mind, and if anyone paid attention to him, he just sat like this, his eyes closed.

There was only one voice left, and Xia Fanxing couldn't control his thoughts, so he could only listen to this voice and speak slowly.

"You... You are the one chosen by the rosary?......"

"Okay......"

"This seat has automatically carved an oath in your consciousness, and since this matter is today, you and my sect are tied together, and what this seat says, there is an oath as evidence, and you will never dare to divulge half a sentence. I don't know what kind of attitude the world has become towards my religion under Yang Zhao's rat-eyed management... It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

"The world only knows this heaven and earth, and it is called the mortal world. In fact, among the informed population, there is a broader concept, the lower realm. ”

"It can be simply understood that outside of this heaven and earth, there is also a land that they also consider to be the only mortal realm, and we call it Lingzhou. ”

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the human race and the demon race fought fiercely against the army called the alien race for their own interests. This includes countless races that ordinary people have never heard of. Before this catastrophe, the entire Nether Realm could be regarded as a gathering of all races, and the pomp and circumstance was unprecedented. ”

"This great battle has damaged all the spiritual vein foundations in Lingzhou and destroyed all the caves and blessed lands there. And in this realm, for some unknown reason, eighty-one days of heavenly punishment were rained, and the heavens and the earth were thundering and blazing, rolling day and night, without interruption, and unfortunately, no one in this realm survived. All races other than the human race and the demon race were identified as alien races, and were driven to the reincarnation border at the junction of the Ten Thousand Demon Pagoda and the mortal realm in the underworld. As far as this seat knows, they have established their own world in the void rift of the border of reincarnation. ”

"Two thousand seven hundred and thirty years after the Heavenly Dao Tribulation, just after the final count of a tribulation, the Immortal Realm sent the Zhenwu Emperor, who has now entered the death level, to collect a few wisps of spiritual thoughts of the mortal world races that have not been wiped out by the heavenly thunder, and he has made a Nine Heavens Law Birth Great Array here, so that these spiritual thoughts still have a chance to be reincarnated in this realm. He did it, but it's a pity that these reincarnated beings who returned to this desolate land have very low spiritual intelligence, and it took tens of thousands of years to have the spiritual wisdom before the Great Tribulation thousands of years ago, and it has continued until now. ”

"The subsequent resurrection movement actually has a huge connection with this matter. It's just that because of the blockade of people with hearts, these reasons have become secrets that are difficult to touch. ”

You may wonder why I am telling you this. This seat is to let the chosen ones understand that even though we Terrans have sacrificed tens of thousands of years of development for the ultimate cause, we still support the future of the cause. ”

"What is a great cause? You may be confused right now. I'll tell you. The expulsion war of Lingzhou and this realm against foreign races actually followed the prediction of a seven-killing power in the immortal realm in the primeval period. He foresaw something, but it was hidden in a secret treasure that had been the target of public attention for thousands of years, but no one could find it. ”

"This secret treasure is a ten-page war book. According to this seat, it is a war book made by a great war in the fairy world hundreds of thousands of years ago. But now, it seems that all of them are in Lingzhou. At the time of the expulsion war, the Terrans of Lingzhou had a page of war books, and its production, as well as the words and ink on it, were all made with the powerful techniques of the fairy world that we could not understand, so when we read it, it was not just about reading. ”

From the above account, they got some information about that prophecy. But my guide, he only knows one thing—the Seven Killing Power, who seems to have proved through convincing evidence that after a certain number of eons, multiplied by the number of years after 10,000, the Nether will cause a spiritual riot for some reason. ”

"And in this way, not only will the Nether Realm be extinct, but it will also seriously affect the Heavenly Court, and even the territory of the demons above!"

"And the Apocalypse they got was to launch a war of extermination against the alien race! I heard that the human race who got the Apocalypse was scattered and even read the names of the races that were about to be expelled on that page of the war book. ”

"You must be surprised. How is it possible? How can the merit of saving this world be based on a brutal and inhumane war? Moreover, if it is not wrong, why should the Heavenly Dao be angry with the revelation that it has descended from, and eventually cause the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations that are enough to destroy the world? You will think that I Liu Li is crazy, and if what I say is true, you will think that those people back then were crazy!"

"Hehe... There's more to it than you'll have to explore on your own. If the hexagram before the unjust death of this seat was not wrong, when this dried corpse was seen again, this seat had been in the Netherworld for two years. ”

"The name of this religion is called Heavenly Deficiency. If there is a deficiency in the way of heaven, our generation will make up for it. Two years ago, there were more than 10,000 believers in my religion, all over the world. At that time, although the followers were ordered by Yang Guozhong and Ji Wen to do unrighteous things, they generally kept a low profile. This seat has been calculated during his lifetime, and now there should be 30,000 believers in this religion. But Yang Zhao is a short-sighted person, and he is an enemy of An Lushan everywhere, and he is narrow-minded. Presumably, now our religion has gradually entered the attention of others. It's ridiculous, it's just a festival envoy, why do you have to force each other so much? If I teach because of Yang Zhao's management, the world will refer to it...... Alas. ”

"I once listened to the guidance of a master and made up my mind to make a lifelong contribution to the prediction of that immortal power. After all, according to what he said, the day when the Nether Realm was destroyed and the Immortal Realm was endangered, there were only three calamities, that is, eight hundred and nineteen years. This time, in the history of this world, is too short and too short. So I reached an agreement with Yang Zhao and founded the Tianqi Sect. Although there are a large number of people in this religion, only the most spiritually rooted believers, and with the most devout faith in the goals of this seat, have the opportunity to come into contact with these things that this religion has told you, but only a little. This is all because you are the destined person chosen by the rosary. ”

"Two years ago, there were more than 10,000 believers, and there were only a dozen loyal believers who could access these secrets. Now, if there are no accidents, they have all cultivated well, and they are working hard to find the apocalypse in the war book. You are destined for this seat and my teacher, but this seat has long been separated from the yin and yang of this world. If you want to find more information and more guidance, there are only seven words for you in this seat - West Pole Sect, Arhat Prison. ”

"Guide, if you are lucky enough to meet him. As long as he sees the oath engraved in your consciousness, he will understand that you are our destined person. ”

"No matter how long it takes, since the rosary has chosen you, my teacher will be waiting for your visit. ”

The voice let out a long, sudden sigh.

Long.

"Yang Zhao misunderstood me for teaching a big thing! Not only did he harm my life, but he also pushed my religion into a quagmire...... If you are destined to have someone, save me and help the world! Otherwise, the vast mortal realm will definitely not be just a thief and cholera!"

"Not only..."

"It's not just ......"

"It's not just ...... cholera thieves"

Xia Fanxing felt that there was only the last trace of strength left in his body, and his divine sense was unprecedented, and he wanted to sleep forever. When he realized this, Liu Li's remnant voice sounded again, and he regained his calm.

"West Pole Sect, Luohan is locked in prison. This seat, I teach, I believe that you are the one who is destined. If you want to find someone like you, my teacher's rosary will consume all the mana for hundreds of years. So...... Don't, let this seat disappoint my teacher. ”

"Find my followers, rescue my teacher, and find the secret of the apocalypse...... Even if it's in another world, no matter how long the road ahead is, even if your mind is blank now, you don't know what's going on. You don't know what this seat has left on you, you don't know what kind of responsibility has fallen on you..."

"What are you talking about! No! Whatever you're talking about, I don't understand a bit...... Oh, no..."

"You can help me fulfill my long-cherished wish, you have to promise me ......"

"Can you... You're going to ......"

"Brother Xia, are you okay?

Xia Fanxing slowly opened his eyes. After a blur, he found himself lying in the inn room. There were two people standing beside him. At a close look, one is Huang Gui, and the other is the young He Longlong.

He opened his mouth slowly, asking himself what had happened before he lost consciousness.

At the same time, what made him feel terrible was that the memory that had just fallen asleep had become fragmented, and he felt violently dizzy as soon as he recalled. He knew he needed a lot of rest right now. But at the same time, he remembered that what made him fall into this situation was Mr. Liu Li, who was already lying in the coffin, or his remnants, and he still remembered that what Liu Carp's remnants said was beyond his comprehension, and at the same time, it was extremely important and incomprehensible.

"It's already afternoon, it's almost evening!" Huang Gui explained. Xia Fanxing glanced at He Longlong next to him, but the young man still looked indifferent, leaning against the corner of the wall without saying a word.

"They are probably already having their final burial rites now. I was following a few of you in the morning and saw you somehow walk out of the crowd. At noon, I couldn't help but be hungry and told Uncle Jin to go back here for dinner. I ended up seeing you in an alley behind the street you left. Brother Xia, you just fell asleep on the ground, your face was so pale......"

"And your body is very heavy, you know that I have a lot of strength, and I can't drag it. I was looking for someone to help, but I just turned out of the alley and saw this guy... He took the initiative to ask me why I was here, and I thought it would be better to let him help. Then we worked together to drag you back to the hotel. Maybe we are all demon physiques, so we can drag such a heavy person back......" Huang Gui pursed his lips and glanced at He Longlong. The latter nodded faintly.

"It took a long time to get you back here, and we wanted to wake you up. After tinkering, this guy found that there seemed to be something strange in your dantian. He approached it with his true breath, and it turned out to be like a different person. ”

"His face turned red, and his whole body seemed to swell..."

"Can you get to the point? Shut up!" the young man interrupted Huang Gui's words impatiently and grabbed the conversation, "I felt at that time, it seemed to be my bloodline, maybe it was really the bloodline of the demon clan, and it was connected to something in your dantian." Even, it seems to have opened up my bloodline memory. In the past two days, I asked Elder Dao about some things about the demon clan. The bloodline in your dantian is connected to the bloodline of my demon clan. In other words, there are also demon elements in your blood. ”

"Eh, I think you're talking a lot of!" Huang Gui grabbed the conversation again, "and then he asked me to help him put his hand on his shoulder." A strange sensation, crispy and numb, came from my lower abdomen. Huang Gui touched his round belly with palpitations, "He cut his thumb with his fingernails and pressed it against your dantian, and his whole person became very strange... We did this for a quarter of an hour or so, and we were really tired from standing, and it didn't take long for us to rest before you woke up...... This guy is back to normal now. ”

Xia Fanxing tried his best to think about their words, but failed with a severe headache. He suddenly remembered Huang Gui's first words, slammed himself out of bed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You mean that Mr. Liu Li is already preparing to be buried at this time?"

"Yes, but Brother Xia, you can't go again. Your face is still so pale, it's better to rest!" Huang Gui hurriedly persuaded when he saw this.

"That's right. I sensed it just now, the true breath in your body is very weak, and the dantian is also in a state of malaise, so take a good rest. He Longlong also spoke.

"No! no...... Fuck! he must have something to say to me...... He must not have finished his sentence yet!"

Xia Fanxing muttered, bounced up from the bed suddenly, pushed away the two puzzled children, grabbed the door, and rushed down the stairs with a crackle. By this time, the sun was setting on the horizon, and the streets were almost empty. He took a step and ran desperately towards the outskirts of Liyang, where Liu Li was buried.
