Volume 3 Chapter 29 The Skeleton Legion
"Let's go, what are you waiting for!" The third prince drew his waist knife and was about to walk towards the door on the far right, "Open the way to the Skull Tower and even the Black Cliff!" β
"Slow, slow!" Roland suddenly stopped at the front of the line.
"What are you doing, Roland" As soon as the third prince's urgency came up, the nine cows couldn't pull it, "Have a press conference?" β
"Do you really think you should go to the right?" Roland asked
"I'll go, go to the right, isn't it all you said" The third prince also turned white-faced, "You are conclusive, and the grandmother is credible." β
"That's right," Roland tugged at the third prince's hand and still didn't let go, "But think about it, what does this Ascending Immortal Stone mean?" β
"There is a connection between the ghost gate and the fairy world," Peng Yue, who was speechless on the side, said, "I can see it, but that is the concern of your high-level immortal cultivators." β
"Whose messenger is Grandma?" Roland asked again.
"The underworld," the third prince was a little impatient, "Let's not ask and answer, let's go quickly!"
Roland still wouldn't let go, she explained, "The old lady can't tell the truth, and she is ordered to do itβso what she says must be reserved." β
"What do you mean...."
"What she is saying is not necessarily right, what she says is not necessarily right," Bun continued Roland, "if only she had any hints." β
"Yes," Roland said the old man's instructions before leaving, "the road is simple, don't look around and lose your sincerity." β
"Sister Roland, it's not that I have an opinion about you, you talk a little... Panting loudly, "The third prince put the sword in the scabbard" Analyze it, what does it mean. β
"The first meaning, don't take her face water." Baozi rubbed his face and said that the tiredness of the days had brought sleepiness, and he had to make his mind clear.
"Isn't this the same as not saying," the third prince squatted on the ground and fiddled with the stones.
"Don't look around," Roland said to everyone, "maybe it's a hint." If it is said that this is made in the fairy world, the Tao gives birth to one, one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Then the avenue must not rely on the extreme left and the extreme right, and the middle is the right way. β
"It's as simple as that?"
"Nowadays, people are suspicious of nature, walk and do things either on the far left or on the extreme right, and rarely follow the way of heaven. The way of heaven is not the way of ghosts, so it is often the simplest and least credible. Baozi said
"Yes, we worked hard when the five ghosts hung the door, all kinds of breakthroughs, and the brains that were called could fill a car, after experiencing this, who could believe that there was still the possibility of the road to the sky." Roland said, "What's more, the ghost gate has been full of blackmail and bullying for a long time, everyone is in danger, everyone is calculating, naturally no one will come to the avenue."
Go in the middle.
Everyone took a deep breath, unified their thoughts, believed Roland's judgment, and strode towards the cave in the middle. The ability of a team to survive in a turbulent environment is not only due to the excellent knowledge of the people, but also the trust in the members. Everyone groped their way into the stone cave in the middle, and everyone knew that each stone cave was more or less the same, and there was no difference until the final results were announced.
"Based on the distance, you can walk three hundred steps to reach the bottom of the Skull Tower. If there is no clue, we will withdraw immediately. Peng Yue said calmly.
"Withdraw?" The third prince smiled, "As soon as you turn around, it will be a chaotic time and space." There's no going back. β
The river flows quietly, and on both sides are rocky beaches littered with messy flags, animal and human remains, and a large number of swords and weapons.
Everyone walked carefully in the bones, for fear that the spikes would pierce the soles of their feet.
"It's strange, all the bones fell naturally, you see, some of them gathered together, as if they were in a meeting or a fire, as if they had no way out when they retreated here, and finally died here." Roland said as he walked.
"In terms of dress, it is the dress before the Ming Dynasty" The third prince has gone through ancient and modern times, and he still understands dress. He searched as he walked, and found a jade plaque on the bones of a corpse wearing a golden helmet, with the words "Qingyuan Festival Envoy" written on it, and the words "Jianyan three years" written on the back of the plaque, which was an official position.
"It's the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, no, the military general of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, if it's the third year of Jianyan, this general should be Fan Qiong." The third prince wisps the history he has experienced step by step.
"Fan Qiong......." Baozi remembers this person, in November of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people besieged Tokyo. Fan Qiong served as the inspection envoy of the four walls of the capital and the observation envoy of Wenzhou. In December of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people broke through Tokyo, and Qinzong went out of the city to ask for surrender and was deposed by the Jin people. Fan Qiong surrendered to the Jin people, and was appointed by the Jin people to force the emperor Zhao Ji out of the city, and escorted more than 3,000 people including Song Huizong, the imperial family, and the concubines to the Jin camp one after another. After Huizong was coerced out of the city, there were cryers in Bianjing, and Fan Qiongli beheaded several people. Subsequently, Fan Qiong led the troops to welcome the Jin people into the city and announced to the people, saying that the Zhao family had lost the country, and ordered the people not to prevent the royal family and concubines from leaving the city.
"How did he hide here?" Roland said, "This Fan Qiong's resume is very complicated, he personally expelled Song Huizong, and followed the puppet emperor Zhang Bangchang, and did many bad things that killed people and destroyed conscience. But after the Jin people occupied Bianliang, Zhang Bangchang fell ill and died, and Fan Qiong lost his backer all of a sudden, and fled in a panic all the way. The Southern Song Dynasty was short of troops, and Song Gaozong coveted the tens of thousands of military horses under Fan Qiong, so he pretended to ignore the previous suspicions, appeased and recruited him to his command, and joined forces with Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others to organize the anti-Jin struggle, so Fan Qiong still fought several anti-Jin battles in the later period. β
"How did this person end up in Saibei?" This is the focus of the third prince's confusion, "Later, the world was decided, Song Gaozong asked Fan Qiong to exterminate the Liukou, how could Fan Qiong be murderous, he even invited the overseers sent by the emperor to observe the live skinning, this incident caused Song Gaozong's extreme panic, and he recruited 190,000 Liukou without authorization. At that time, a loyal and good man like Yue Fei could not escape the suspicion of the emperor, let alone him, a rebel who rebelled from the enemy camp. Therefore, this kid was assassinated after he was recalled to Lin'an. β
"Then he should have died in Lin'an, even if he didn't die, he should have been in the south, how could he sneak to Saibei, two thousand miles away, and with such a large team. You must know that at that time, all the north of the Yellow River was controlled by the Jin. Baozi raised the same doubts.
Everyone is silent, old problems are solved, and new problems arise.
"It's the rift, the rift behind the Black Cliff." Peng Yue suddenly said, "After I arrived at the Ghost Gate, I once encountered a team, they claimed to be the official soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, and when they were fighting with the Jin soldiers, they were suddenly swept into the rift by the darkness, and they ran into me before they could figure out what was going on. β
In other words..... "The third prince was stunned when he heard this, "The rift can not only swallow space, but also time?" β
"The rift valley runs through the north and south of China, and Fan Qiong and his troops accidentally entered the rift valley and traveled here by mistake. And some of the soldiers walked out of the cave by mistake before they met Peng Yue. β
"In the eyes of the soldiers, the encounter was only a moment." Roland said, "The rift can be infinitely compressed and amplified in time and space, and in the rift, everything has no rules to follow." β
Baozi nodded, "The Republic of China and the great water that broke off the Yangtze River in 1953 are very likely to appear somewhere around the rift valley at a certain time and in a certain space." β
"That's all I can say for now." The third prince said, "Hey! Don't be silent, let's go! β
Stepping on the bones, everyone continued to move forward, but the bones of the Lingnan Song Army that suddenly appeared were like a huge question mark, lingering in everyone's thoughts.
