Chapter 90: History Unsolved
Zheng Xinglu made two stoves on the left and right sides of the underground nest, and the door was also sealed, but someone still had to be on duty outside, Zheng Xingye went to the first shift, Zheng Yan lay at the door and prepared to wait for the second shift, thinking about what happened in the dungeon, there were faint doubts, from noon everyone fled to the present, and the bodyless wizard was still injured like that by himself, the other three didn't chase them out, were they dragged by something and couldn't leave there? Or could they not get out of the dungeon in the first place?
Could it be that there are only four of them that I have seen? Will there be other people? Will those subordinates outside have one of their people under the unified leadership? Tens of thousands of years, the vicissitudes of life, it should not be strange what happened, right?
Is this Liang Zi settled? Who are those subordinates outside? What is their so-called career? Zheng Yuchan asked before, in fact, Zheng Yan is also very curious, after all, it is not a simple restoration of the glory of the witch clan in the past to make a few guys who are about to decay persist for tens of thousands of years without extinguishing their obsession, right? Wizards, or great wizards, what do they generally pursue? Well, there are no conclusive records and legends, and Zheng Yan is completely confused at this time, because he has never stepped into that world.
Yuanxian's plan is still ongoing, maybe he has been preparing for a longer time than those in the underground palace, why is it at this time? Is the gathering of the four demon ancestors in Beifu Mountain also related to this? The clan and human forces will definitely not expect Yuanxian to succeed, uh, maybe it's not right, maybe someone will really want him to succeed, this is an exploration of the path of immortality, there must be people who want to learn from it or even come up, naturally they need a forerunner, this kind of thing abounds in the cultivation world.
Suddenly felt the temperature of the New Year's money on his chest, Dugu Takihun, what does this woman want? Unify Taihua? What was the purpose of the demon king Lu Yin's gathering of the Taihua demon clan to unite with the forces of Yu Danzhou to go south? And it lasted for a hundred years; compared to those unfathomable demon ancestors in the underground palace and Yuanxian, Lu Yin's wave of people seemed to be very inadequate, and even had a little bit of a taste of making a fuss, is it that Lu Yin's actions were also part of the entire plan of those characters hidden in the depths?
Historians have always thought that the Hundred Years War was meaningless for both sides, and the reason for the launch was unreasonable or even inexplicable, as if you looked at me and I was going to take someone to beat you, as funny, I remember that in Mu Hanyang's divine thoughts, Lu Yin mentioned that he saw the future, and Dugu Takihyun can also travel back in time, this is their magical power, could it be that Lu Yinzhen saw what he found? Or think about the dark side, what he saw was manipulated, and then he raised troops to the south.
So for those who are hiding in the shadows, what is the benefit of the Taihua Demon Clan's Yudanzhou coalition army raising troops to the south and the Yin Dynasty, to be precise, half of the most powerful families of the Yin Dynasty, fighting for a hundred years?!
Whether it was then or now, almost everyone thinks that it is impossible for the demon clan and the Yudanzhou coalition to win at that time, because they have one of the most fatal flaws, the quantity, and the supply of grain and grass has been stretched, and the area north of Pingyang Pass can be said to be barren because of the war in a hundred years, almost to the same extent as the great wilderness, and Yudanzhou is already barren and the people's livelihood is withering, which leads to the fact that the coalition army has no stamina at all, and it has actually supported it for a hundred years? I remember that there was a few words in the notes of the ancestors of the Zheng clan that they did prepare for decades before the coalition army went south, but these accounts were very vague.
Not to mention this, the high-level leaders of the demon clan and Yu Danzhou must also know that it is impossible to win, and looking at Lu Yin's last words, it seems that everything is expected by him, but why do you want to go south to fight this war that has devastated countless lives?
The more Zheng Yan thought about it, the more energetic he became, the more vague and unreasonable things seemed to be, and the more likely they were to hide a lot of secrets.
What was the background at that time? The Yin Dynasty expanded abroad. I remember that at that time, the nominal ruling area of the Yin Dynasty included most of the present-day Great Zhou, all of Donghezhou and Jinchanzhou, and all of Dongou Jingye Daqin, and one of the lowest-ranking princes could not compete for those anointed places to explore, so he turned to aim at the place north of Pingyang Pass, which was considered a bitter cold land at that time.
According to the historical records, at that time, the vast place in the north was no different from the wilderness, and it was difficult to see people hundreds of miles away, it can be said that it was completely the world of spirits, birds and beasts, the prince began to recruit and buy homeless slaves in the people after getting the permission of the imperial court, and then went over with his own soldiers, and the immigration and pioneer continued for thirty years, and really let the prince do, according to the rules of the time, no matter which prince and nobleman, as long as he first obtained the permission of the imperial court and then opened up half of the territory handed over to the imperial court and the remaining half as his fief, that is, the land of food, the prince finally fiefdom was more than 3,000 li, millions of households in the food estate, and the soldiers were strong and strong and raised a large number of masters, comparable to a medium-sized country.
That is, when this prince is in the middle of the day, the Taihua Mountain Demon Clan and the Yu Danzhou forces began to form an alliance, and the triggering condition is also that the prince will continue to expand northward, at least on the surface, there are some political enemies in the court who are afraid that the prince's tail will not fall and will begin to have all kinds of constraints, and the coalition army in the north probably saw the opportunity to directly preemptively eliminate the biggest threat in front of them, so they sent troops south.
That prince can be said to have suffered from the enemy on his back, supported for a few years and then the whole line was defeated, and finally he was killed by the assassins in the rout, and then the coalition army advanced to Luoyang, Chang'an, and then the Zheng clan and several other families organized an army to resist the counterattack for a hundred years, why did they hold each other on the Pingyang defense line for a hundred years? No one can say clearly about this question until now, the objective conditions are indeed there, but the time is still a little long, and a large part of the wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the Yin Dynasty has been consumed in this hundred years of tug-of-war.
What else is there besides these?
According to historical records, the Taihua demon clan dispatched a total of 150,000 troops before and after, and Yu Danzhou's ten surnamed groups at that time dispatched about 400,000 troops.
Speaking of the Yudanzhou Ten Surnames Alliance, although in the later stage of the war they reached a reconciliation with the Yin Dynasty army and finally returned to Yudanzhou safely with the remaining army, but then there was earth-shaking turmoil, except for the three remnants of the Lou's He family and the Dugu family, the remaining seven families were all wiped out in the turmoil, some were retaliated by the demon clan, some were killed internally, and some were destroyed by the alien races in the Northern Wilderness, in short, the old forces collapsed and the new forces broke the ground, more than 300 years later, the eight surnames of Yudanzhou were basically formed, and the remaining three families were finally reduced to the lower four surnames of the eight surnames because of the great injury to their vitality, and they were not less oppressed by the four families who came later, and Lou Gang was also regarded as a major sect of the Lou family, as a result, he was accused of marrying a concubine to the Zhang family, and he was a brutal wolf who did not learn and did not know how to resist, which can be seen.
Although Yu Danzhou had a limited degree of education at that time, he should have been able to predict this possible outcome, but he knew whether it was a fire pit or jumping in, just because of the real threat of that prince? The answer is yes, at least the history books say that there is, this is very subtle, you must know that when the prince was staking the territory and demarcating the territory, the Yin court began to restrain him, and the political enemies had already taken a lot of actions against him, in this case, why did he still do these outstanding things, instead of protecting himself?
There will always be a lot of places in history that future generations can't figure out, and then go back to the Taihua Demon Clan, where did you get the 150,000 fighting spirits in a hundred years, you must know that the Demon Clan led by Lu Yin at that time was not a straggler fighting on their own, but a real elite general, a thousand people of the Demon Clan needed at least one army of the Yin Dynasty to deal with at that time, and it could not be annihilated, and it was possible to be annihilated, at that time the Yin Dynasty had an army of 10,000 people.
Just like Lao Niu said, the demon clan has always fought on its own, and it is difficult to control it in the form of human beings, let alone in an army that emphasizes discipline, this is a matter of nature, even if it can be controlled, it is only temporary, and there will be a tendency for nature to stretch all the time, how did Lu Yin make thousands of demon clans obey their words like an arm?
There was no content about this in Mu Hanyang's thoughts, Zheng Yan didn't believe that it was relying on Lu Yin's personal influence, Yuanxian? Could it be him? Recently, I have a general understanding of his big demon cultivation It is indeed easy for people to connect the two, since it can cultivate big demons in batches, it should also be possible to ignite more little demons, igniting, although it is indeed very difficult and difficult to do, but it should not be difficult for an ancestral demon who has lived for 50,000 years.
Could it be that the demon clan's southward march two thousand years ago was just Yuanxian testing his mastery of this magical power?
Zheng Yan has a feeling that his hairs stand on end, it shouldn't be, it's because he is too imaginative, and I don't know if Dugu Takihyun saw it when he went back to history before.
Most of the troubles had nothing to do with me, and Zheng Yan began to sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, a few people warmed up the venison left from last night and ate it and set off to continue their journey, only walking the bare snow ridge along the way, fortunately they were all monks, otherwise they would always be white and their eyes couldn't stand it, Zheng Xinglu Zheng Yuan was eager to refine the newly-acquired magic weapon, either chanting the mantra endlessly or flying around;
Zhang Caiyun didn't know how to refine her Fang Ding, just handed it to Zheng Xingye to carry, Zheng Yan tried to take it, almost thirty or forty catties, Bai Bo's willow leaf narrow knife and Zheng Yan's bag of these two are almost the same, they are not flying treasures, but her one can be used as a magic weapon, Xingshuang put the sword that Zheng Yan gave before behind his back, and the new one has been held in his hand, Zheng Yan has not seen what is good, Zheng Yuchan took a book out, it is said to be a magic weapon, but I don't know how to use it, the content inside is mostly some daily trivial matters of the Wu clan, and there are also a lot of spells and runes and ways to eliminate disasters and cure diseases。
Zheng Yan doesn't need to sacrifice anything, so he has always been in charge of the palace, and then it is hunting, the bow and arrow have been strengthened to five stones, but there is no need to be full when hunting, you can use two or three stones, and the arrow can easily shoot the prey at a distance of about 100 zhang, such a bow is basically comparable to the light crossbow equipped in the army, if the strength, endurance and physical toughness are enough, it is obviously more convenient to hold such a bow and arrow than a light crossbow, but the light crossbow is more labor-saving, but the cost of this bit of strength is really not worth mentioning for Zheng Yan, a martial artist of the Five Realms, although he has just entered the Five Realms;
In fact, generally the martial artists of the Three Realms can completely control the strong bow of four to five stones, but an ordinary soldier who does not enter the country can also have the effect of a martial artist of the Three Realms with a light crossbow, so it always makes sense to sharpen his weapons first if he wants to do a good job, which is why the monk pursues more powerful magic weapons and peerless magic weapons, or motivation.
Now that the New Year is almost half a month, the moon at night is getting rounder and rounder, Zheng Yuchan finally determined the time after carefully observing the celestial phenomena, more than ten in the first month, so that it is almost half a month later than the previous trial, I don't know when I will return to Yiwang Mountain, if it goes well, it may take half a month, if it doesn't go well, it may not be more than a month, several people are a little anxious, probably only Zheng Yanle is in it.
After walking for two more days, he finally saw Shengyang Mountain from a distance, Zheng Yan looked at the little tiger who was still sleeping in his arms and didn't want it to wake up now, his wife was separated and his family was ruined, and there was nothing more tragic in the world than this, and it was estimated that it was difficult to repay the hatred, and he was desperate to think about it in the face of Yuanxian, an old monster, in this case, it was better to forget all the past events, and there was only one reason to think about it.
The others naturally didn't know that Shengyang Mountain had been occupied by Beifu Mountain, and Zheng Yan didn't have a good time to tell them, otherwise it would take a lot of explanation, but the closer they got to Shengyang Mountain, the more disciples and elders they encountered, and the more people who were said to be the Flame Palace of Fengyanzhou also began to move to the eastern foot of Taihua, and the target was obviously Shengyang Mountain, and the group watched the three battles between the Five Aggregate Fire Ding and the Flame Palace with great interest.
Both sides are accustomed to the fire method, not to mention the power, but the fierce appearance is very interesting, once probably by someone happened to see a few bystanders here a little disapplieving, the two sides who are fighting evenly without winning or losing immediately turned their guns and prepared to find the stubble of these young people, of course a few people are not afraid, Zheng Xinglu was the first to go out to fight, the opponent was a middle-aged man with thirty-six flame knives in Wuyun Huoding, but Zheng Xinglu's sword array was suddenly dispersed,
So there was another out of the idea of seeing wealth, and by the way, there was also a color Lingzhi faint, what "goblin, look at the hero today for the heavens", "goblin, obediently submit, so that I can step into the fairy road" and so on, the goblin obviously refers to the four women,
Needless to say, more than a dozen guys were cleaned up very badly, and I also heard a lot of news here, mainly because of the discovery of the ancient immortal relics in Shengyang Mountain, countless immortal artifacts in the Book of Heaven, and a golden pill that can make people become immortals, and I also know that there are now two demon ancestors in Shengyang Mountain, otherwise the Five Aggregate Fire Ding and the Agni Fire Palace would have been killed early.
Zheng Yan was a little puzzled how this news was released, it is said that Yuanxian should try his best to cover it up, could it be that Beifu Mountain is not monolithic? Not only is not all of them obedient to Li Zhubei, but even Yuanxian has an uncontrollable existence? In this case, Dugu Takihyun should have a lot more room to do what he wants.
Thinking of Dugu Takihyun Zheng Yan has a little headache, this woman has started to practice again in the past few days, so it's okay, eh, Zheng Yan can't say what is good.
Zheng Xingye and they really wanted to stay and observe the situation of Shengyang Mountain, and when they went back, they had a lot of excuses, Zheng Yan naturally didn't care, so he took them to the cave where Shuangyun Jingshu and them settled before, and the spell that opened the door Shuangyun had already been taught, but I hope it was not replaced.
It really didn't change, Zheng Yan opened the door of the cave smoothly, just walked in a few steps and then was stunned there, Bai Bo, who was holding the little tiger behind him, followed up without paying attention, and looked over Zheng Yan's broad shoulders and was also a little stunned, and at the same time muttered, "Its quiet Ruohe, Lansheng Empty Valley; its glamorous Ruohe, Xia Yingchengtang; its god Ruohe, the moon shoots the cold river...".
Zheng Yan couldn't help but glance at the somewhat stupid woman beside him in surprise, maybe it was also a natural reaction to hide his gaffe, in short, he was surprised.
