326.The Death of the Khitan (Yao no Fan Wai 5)

Yelulie was my opportunity, and he thanked me for saving his life, took me as his son, and brought me back to his territory, where he was the king of the Khitan kingdom. At this point, I have a surname in front of my name, and my name is Yeluyao.

Becoming the son of the Khitan king is not all about honor, but more about doubts and suspicions. As outsiders, not of their own kind, even with the protection of Jereh, it is useless. So when I was fifteen years old, I automatically asked Ying to follow Yelulie into battle. In a man's world, it takes military exploits to establish a position, and I was seriously wounded in a battle, but I won it.

Since then, my position in the army has been consolidated, and I have a group of pro-guard troops to follow. As I get older, I have a special talent for the mystics of the mechanism and the arrangement of troops, but I know the four words Taoguang Yanghui, if it is too sharp, it will only lead to disaster. Secretly went back to the snowy mountain, and took out the other three things hidden at the mouth of the cave, mainly to get the mask. After wearing it, my appearance can be hidden, especially on the battlefield, and it can also deter the other party.

In addition, there will often be some fragments in the mind, but they can't be connected, but some mystical techniques about the mechanism, as well as the method of arranging the troops, will be more profound. My reputation outside is also mostly brave and invincible, and in terms of wisdom, I secretly cultivated a military advisor named Yuan Ping, who basically gave advice, and he stood in front of people. It's just that I alone can't turn the tide to save the decline of the Khitan people. The emergence of the Jurchen tribe represents the end of the Khitan tribe, or even its extinction. The news from outside was that Yelulie was also seriously wounded and died in a battle, and at that time, my position in the Khitan tribe was irreplaceable, especially in leading the troops to fight, needless to say, I became the next Khitan king.

In several battles with the Jurchens, there were wins and losses, and when the Jurchen army pressed in, because of the disparity in manpower, I had to lead my descendants to retreat while fighting with the army, and the marching route was changed again and again. At that time, the Jurchens have already laid most of the sky, and it will be difficult for the Khitan to turn over. In order to keep the Khitan bloodline, I followed the example of Hanzu Liu Bang and retreated to Shu and found an excellent place to stay.

There is a green lake in front and a high mountain in the back, which is a natural barrier for two people. However, the Jurchens were not to be underestimated, and they were not allowed to follow the traces we had avoided all the way to find this place, so the natural barrier was not strong enough, so after temporarily settling down, they led their troops across the Green Lake, planted trees on the other side of the lake, and laid a maze. And in the very center, bury a huge suction stone in order to interfere with the opponent's marching guide.

It turned out that I was too worried, and for a long time, there was no invasion from outsiders. At this time, the thousand-strong army I led had all settled in the house and lived a normal life. From their faces, I saw the peace of accepting the status quo, after all, no one wants war. If the Jurchens really won't chase and kill again, then this is undoubtedly a paradise.

Occasionally, I could go to the lake to enjoy the scenery, and the guards even built a pavilion for me in the middle of the lake. And the military advisor Yuan Ping is a good painter, since he doesn't have to go to the battlefield, he concentrates on studying these. In addition, a road has been opened in the mountains to lead to the outside world, but this passage is not open, and will be guarded by my personal guards every day to prevent anyone from escaping and attracting foreign enemies.

During this period, in my spare time, I threw the purple gold box to Yuan Ping for research and asked him to build another one. He really lived up to my expectations, not only made an exact one, but also improved, creating a tangram exquisite lock on the outer layer of the box, with a very cumbersome mechanism hidden inside, and only one key. I put the purple jade ring that has never been of much use into this box, although this thing is usually useless, it is a treasure that I must use when I go home, and I must not lose it.

I carry the keys with me, and the box is hidden in the dark. I thought I could lead the Khitan people here to the next generation, but I soon realized a problem, the army I led was all men, and there was no woman, and reproduction became the biggest problem. If it can't reproduce, then the famous race will eventually perish. While I was planning this, an even greater catastrophe was slowly approaching.

Yes, the plague. When the first person fell, I didn't pay much attention to it, but when the second, the third, and ten people fell for no reason, I knew something was wrong. The military doctor checked and checked, and finally diagnosed several people as suffering from the plague. A few people were isolated at the moment, but even so, it could not stop the spread of the plague, and more and more people began to fall ill.

Led by Yuan Ping, the guards have all asked me for my life, asking me to make a decision to deal with this group of people who have suffered from the plague.

To prevent the spread of the plague, the ancient method was to slaughter and burn. Seeing that the disease was really unbearable, I had to agree. Next to my house in front of the mountain, the celebrities dug a large pit and pushed all the people who were dying of the plague and dead into the pit, lit a fire, and reduced them to ashes. That night, all the soldiers knelt outside the pit, but I stood alone in the present, with an indescribable pangish in my heart. Yes, even though I am not a Khitan, how can it not be painful to have been with them for many years, and now I have pushed them into the fire pit with my own hands to kill them? What made me even more painful was that the rest of the people, without the slightest complaint against me, looked up to the sky and shouted "King" in a sad voice.

I thought that this would put an end to the spread of the plague, but within a month, some people began to get sick. This time it was a large area, and not only them, but also me, all had rashes on their bodies. I always thought that I was stronger than anyone else, but as soon as the plague broke out, it was really like a mountain of illness, and it was useless to hold on, and soon my mind was blurred. At the last moment of enlightenment, I handed over the burden to Yuan Ping and told him not to spread the word about my illness.

After that, I was confused, but after entering the consciousness of the mixed ravioli, a part of my brain gradually became clearer. The blurry images that used to be are pieced together little by little, becoming complete, and not only that, but there are also some things that are gradually awakening in the body. When I opened my eyes again, it was like a lifetime away, and I couldn't believe that it was all happening.

From the Dian Kingdom to the Khitan tribe, there was a difference of thousands of years, and I slept for so long, and I became a child, and everything started from scratch. Slowing back from the shaking of his mind, he realized that he was in a dark and narrow space, and when he raised his hand to touch it, he suddenly understood that this might be a stone coffin. It didn't take much effort for the coffin to be pushed away, and as soon as I got out of it, I saw the military doctor kneeling in front of him, and the spear had pierced his throat, and he had been breathing for a long time.

There was a blank piece of paper in front of him, and I walked over to see it, and it was a confession, roughly saying that he had misjudged the illness of his people. It turned out that the illness of everyone before was not a plague, but a problem with the water source. There is a water monster in the green lake, hidden very deep, the water source area polluted by it, drinking its water, the human body will mutate, ordinary people will die like a plague if they can't survive. By the time the military doctor found out about this, it was already too late, all the people were already sick, and he felt that he was a sinner for the ages, and he committed suicide in front of my coffin.

Yes, before that, they thought I was dead and buried me in a stone coffin. As you can see, all the Khitans are dead, and they look up at the masked portrait of me hanging on the wall, and they respect me and do not forget to be loyal to me until they die. With a long sigh, he stretched out his hand to write the final fate of the clan on the surface of the stone coffin. Just as he was about to close the lid of the stone coffin, he caught a glimpse of something inside, and when he looked closely, it was actually a mask, a dagger, and the original purple gold box.

It turned out that they put all these personal belongings of mine into the stone coffin and counted them as burial goods. Masks have been worn for a long time, both a thousand years ago and a thousand years later, and some habits have continued, so I was the first to pick up the mask and put it on my face. Turning his eyes to the other two, he hesitated for a moment, and picked up my dagger, which was called the Martial King Blade a thousand years ago, and a thousand years later, I named it the Blood Drinking Knife.

Whatever its name, it was the only thing I had ever given Ying Ning, and she put it back on my waist before she died. As for the purple gold box, I didn't pick it up, but cleverly set up a mechanism to protect it, and closed the lid. Now that I have remembered everything, then the next thing must be to find a way to save Ying Ning, and before finding a way, this key to open the door of life and death in Ning City cannot be lost, and must be stored here for the time being.

Coming out of the underground stone room, my original living room was covered with paintings made by Yuan Ping. I didn't want to look at those, and walked around the entire mountain village, silently, there was a dead silence, and there was really no one left. It seems that I have to do one thing before leaving, and that is to strangle the lake monsters to comfort these many Khitan undead. The place where the lake monster went, naturally, went to the Green Lake to find it.

The polluted area of the water source is very clear, and a layer of black oil floats on the surface of the water, and according to this trace, the boat is rowed all the way to find it, and it is interrupted in front of a mountain. I glanced up the hill, and suddenly I caught a glimpse of a figure, and my heart moved, and I chased after it without thinking.

The figure looked like a person, but it was very burly, and chased it all the way to the cave halfway up the mountainside, and I blocked the person. But he was stunned first, and asked hesitantly: "Are you ...... Yuan Ping? "This person doesn't look like the military advisor Yuan Ping at all, but there are still vague traces on his face, Yuan Ping was originally a very handsome person, how could he become like this?

Yuan Ping knelt down in front of me with a puff and called out in a wailing voice: "King! ”

His voice changed, and it became as hoarse as if it had been torn apart. Is this the result of the strange transformation of the lake? But I was completely fine. At his feet, Yuan Ping knelt there and whispered a confession, which roughly meant the same as the confession left by the military doctor, that he made a wrong decision and led to the extermination of the Khitan clan. But after listening for a while, I realized that he actually thought I was a ghost, and I had come to ask for his life, and even prostrate on the ground at my disposal. I couldn't laugh at this, and I raised my voice to tell him that I was not dead, and he was shocked and made sure before he began to cry out loud.
