In the autumn of the third year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Yao Kezhen, the Son of Heaven who was 20 years old, worked hard to kill eunuchs and prisoners in the past three years, which made the government and the opposition glow with a new breath.

It's just that a great calamity is about to befall you, and it will take years for the people in the calamity to feel the pain it has caused.

In the north of the Great Zhou Kingdom, on a remote mountain road in Diqing Prefecture, a strange convoy of nearly 100 people is walking with difficulty. They were said to be strange because the convoy was full of cyan coats and was driving only one ox cart pulled by six strong oxen. The bullock cart was huge, six meters long, and all the wheels were thickened with iron. And the ox cart was carrying something that resembled a log stake.

It is said that it is not a wooden stake, because the gray-white surface of the object is carved with countless patterns. The strangest thing is that it is also plastered with talismans. If you see it at night, you will have a sense of horror. Especially the convoy of nearly 100 people, there is no sound between walking, which aggravates the gloomy atmosphere.

They have been walking for half a month, and before that, they will leave Diqing Prefecture and arrive in Youyang Prefecture. Youyang Prefecture is still a plain area, and it is also the most important grain producing area of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has always been the richest state of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The leader of the convoy was a middle-aged woman who looked like a man and had a slight beard on her lips. As the convoy walked out of the mountains, her brow, which had always furrowed, deepened. It was clear that the big thing they were planning was about to begin, and as the person in charge of the trip, she was not very willing. The pain in it may have another hidden meaning, but it has to be done.

"Hall Master Chen, we will be able to reach the predetermined location in two days. A masked man in a green shirt hurried from the front, and after finding the woman, he saluted and whispered.

"Well, is that all right over there?" the woman asked, looking around.

"That's right. ”

The ox cart travels all the way, and the wheels press deep ruts in the ground. The woman stared at the items on the bullock cart, not knowing what kind of mood to feel for a moment. It is said that the ancestors have been preparing since then, and it was only two years ago that they really made up their minds, and at that time it was Emperor Yao Kezhen of Jianzhen who began to rectify the rule of officials, kill eunuchs and imprison ministers. In the words of an old ancestor, what do they have to do with the peace of the country? What they want is troubled times, and only in troubled times can they have a day to emerge.

Two days passed quickly, and the convoy took a remote path, and along the way, it only met a mountain village man when it was about to leave Diqing Prefecture. At that time, the people in the mountains and wilderness were so awe-inspiring that they only dared to watch from a distance, and no one stepped forward to check. More than ten miles from Diqing Prefecture, it is basically the flat road surface of Youyang Prefecture. Dozens of miles further on, is Lucang County in Youyang Prefecture, Lucang County belongs to Dingyuan Mansion, which is known as the accompanying capital.

The end of the convoy's trip was in a depression not far ahead, just outside the guard circle of the Dingyuan Mansion.

Everyone drove the ox cart and walked silently to the end, and no one showed any emotion. They have long lost their judgment of fate, and there is only one thought left in their hearts, that is, to guard the holy relics to reach their destination. Before that, if anyone wanted to approach the holy relics, they would fight to the death with all their might. From the three hundred at the time of departure, to the nearly 100 people who are left now, they have stopped an unknown number of attacks, and eventually they will complete their mission.

"Bang ......" A man in a green shirt fell to the ground because he was too excited and never got up again.

Hall Master Chen furrowed her brows, ignoring the man she knew, and continued to direct the convoy to slowly enter the depression. In the depression, a platform of about one meter has already been built with wooden frames, which is large enough to place holy relics.

Towards noon, the ox cart came to a steady stop beside the platform, because the ground was wet, and half of the stopped ox cart had sunk into the ground.

"Prepare the holy relics!" Hall Master Chen roared, and his voice resounded through the field.

The remaining nearly 100 people moved when they heard the sound, and each found a suitable position to put their hands on the holy relic. But they all tried not to touch the talismans on the holy relics, but carefully avoided them. It's just that although the holy relics are large, so many people are crowded over, and most of them are still excluded.

"Don't crowd, pull the car away, and the rest of the people will stand down and get up. Hall Master Chen roared, allowing the slightly chaotic ground to be temporarily controlled.

It took another pillar of incense for everyone to lift the relic, and the people who struggled to squeeze below struggled to put the relict on their heads. Under the command, the crowd slowly walked up to the platform.

The makeshift platform was under tremendous pressure, making a creaking sound that almost collapsed.

"Drop the holy relic!" Hall Master Chen watched as the holy relic moved to a suitable position before issuing an order.

But the huge holy relic is easy to lift, but it is not so simple to put it down, and everyone has no training in this area at all, as if they are in their own affairs, the holy relic slams on the platform with a bang. The platform made countless breaking sounds, but it didn't collapse, only a few screams mixed in with it, which made that luck bloody. There were seven people who were crushed under the holy relics, and the lucky ones were only crushed by their hands, and the unfortunate heads were all crushed.

Hall Master Chen looked at them indifferently, and waved his hand to pull them away. When it was finally the last step, she didn't know what was going to happen, so she didn't have the heart to worry about them.

"Going to start?" a strong man in a green shirt asked nervously, licking his lips.

Hall Master Chen nodded silently and waved his hand again. The next thing to do is everyone is familiar with the road, except for the two people who went to the ox cart to fetch pine resin scattered all over the platform, the rest of the people sat cross-legged on the spot and began to chant the "Qinglian Descending Sutra".

In an instant, thick black smoke rose from the platform, and then flames burst into the sky.

The talisman on the relic struggled for a few seconds before it turned to ashes, and the stars flickered and drifted into the sky with the fireworks.

The chanting around grew louder, accompanied by the crackling sound of the floor burning, and the ensemble played a wonderful sound effect.

Hall Master Chen sat at the farthest point, staring at the holy relic without blinking. It may have been only a minute, and the holy object that had always been still moved, as if it were shaking from side to side. Then the holy relic made a loud "bang" sound, like a giant drum, which made the people around tremble with it.

Before everyone could react, there was another bang, and the holy relic was split into two, half of which was bounced into the air by something, and fell heavily to the ground, smashing the four people sitting there into pulp.

And the remaining half, too, something strange happened, the flames that were originally burning in the air were instantly sucked into the holy relics, and there was no trace of fireworks coming out.

The occurrence of strange things originally made the chanting sound stagnate, but the occurrence of strange things made everyone inexplicably excited, and the chanting was vibrating.

The corners of Hall Chen's eyes in the distance jumped, but she still didn't dare to make a mistake, and recited the Qinglian Descent Sutra with the chanting sound.

"The old mother died, and Qinglian was born. No dust and no traces. Holiness from heaven, nine determinations ......"

Suddenly, the platform seemed to be infused with an accelerant, and the flames suddenly increased several times, but they were also firmly inhaled by the holy relics. This was repeated several times, as if exhaling and breathing, and then a muffled popping sound came, and the remaining holy objects dissipated into powder in a cloud of fireworks.

At this time, everyone around felt a burst of heat, which was different from the heat brought by the flames, and was closer to the dryness of the scorching sun in midsummer.

At this moment, the fire that could have burned for a few hours was silently extinguished, leaving only a huge figure in a green shirt. It can definitely be in the form of a human being, but it is more than three meters tall, and its slender body is suspended on the ashes, and it is dressed in a green shirt without wind, as if it is a living thing.

It was not easy for the people who were close to to see the appearance of the huge figure, and it was a bit of a woman, but it was far from beautiful. From the side, it gives a stereotypical and strange sense of stiffness, as if it is not a living thing.

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and then the huge figure slowly erected before it could be seen in its entirety. put a simple cloud bun on her head, and her face looks like three points male and seven points female. The figure is a standard woman, the bulge is not fat or thin. is dressed in a green shirt, which is slightly different from the green shirt worn by the people around him.

Originally, the tall woman had her eyes closed, but when she straightened her body, she slowly opened her closed eyes. It was a pair of eyes devoid of any life or emotion, and it was pitch black.

Hall Master Chen felt a great panic in her heart, and she had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming, but when she wanted to get up and flee, she found that her body had stopped obeying.

The strange thing is that at this moment, the sound of chanting the Qinglian Descent Sutra has not stopped, and there are bursts of buzzing in the air with the chanting.

The tall woman slowly opened her mouth, and a scream came out of her mouth, and then the sound continued to climb until it was completely gone. All the people at the scene were bleeding blood from the seven orifices, and they looked extremely frightened.

When the woman stopped screaming and inhaled back violently, all the people began to dry up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and in a few blinks of an eye, the people sitting cross-legged on the ground became human jerky. The only one with a different posture was the Hall Master Chen, but he only maintained a half-up state and failed to escape.

The drying up continues, and it was originally a depression, and although there is a lack of water due to autumn, the ground is still warm. But at this moment, even the ground is drying at a rate that can be seen by the naked eye, and soon the originally moist land is cracked due to dryness, turning into white sandy soil without any nutrients.

The changes were still expanding, and the speed was increasing exponentially, and an hour later, this originally rich land had a bit of a desolate scene of desert yellow sand.

The tall woman, who had sucked enough sperm blood, looked around and flew away into the distance......

It was night in Anlan City, the imperial capital of Zhongzhou in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and Zhang Zhiruo, the supervisor of Qintian, rushed into the palace in a panic all the way from Si Tiantai. Yao Kezhen, the Jianzhen Emperor who got the report, pushed away the unfinished recital and summoned Zhang Jianzheng, who had never been so panicked.

"It is true that the void star shines brightly, and the heavenly festival enters prosperity from the void, which is the sign that all things are withered. Another ...... "Zhang Zhiruo knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff.

"Say, I promise you that you are not guilty!"

"Weichen also saw that the heavens and men came into the world, and there were six descendants......!

In an instant, the indoor air seemed to freeze, and it took a long time to dissolve again. In a sense, Emperor Jianzhen Yao Kezhen can be regarded as a master, since he was twenty years old, he has been diligent and diligent, and he has never slacked off for a day. Especially in the removal of eunuchs and ministers to control the government, the wisdom and martial arts displayed directly pursued the first emperor of the country. It's a pity that the timing is much worse, at this time the Great Zhou Dynasty is in poverty and weakness, if he can give him ten years of wind and rain, he should be able to return the previous emperors to a prosperous Great Zhou Dynasty. And at this moment, the Great Zhou Dynasty is on the verge of storm.

The internal power clan gate valves who have been temporarily suppressed are still not dead. And the Jin tribe in the northwest is eyeing the tiger, and these barbarians who call themselves wolves are preparing to go south to Zhongzhou all the time.

Emperor Jianzhen Yao Kezhen knew that he needed time, and he needed to be taken care of by the heavens, so he paid so much attention to what Qin Tianjian observed. When he heard the six heavens and men descending, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The reason is very simple, in the past, the legend that the birth of heaven and man meant the possibility of changing the dynasty, not to mention the six descendants.

After the report, Zhang Zhiruo hanged himself in Si Tianjian that night, and left the general direction of the six descent of heaven and man. Subsequently, the Yuntan Sect, which was attached to the imperial court, set off in six ways and ran to the six major places in the world.

Since the beginning of the fourth year of Jianzhen, the seventeen states in the north have all turned into red land, and the famine has spread from north to south. Three years later, there was no food left in the north, and the worst thing was that there was still a remnant of humanity. After the year, a large number of northerners crossed the Chenghe River in the south and began to compete with the southerners for living space.

In the sixth year of Jianzhen, the Qinglian Sect in the south is now known as the Qinglian Sect to save the common people. For a time, there were many people who joined the church, and in four years, the number of people in the church has grown to one million.

In May of the twelfth year of Jianzhen, the Qinglian Sect borrowed its followers to be unjustly killed by the government, and gathered 200,000 followers to capture Yanshan City, an important town in the south. In July of the same year, the Qinglian Sect occupied Shitai Prefecture, and its members grew to 2 million, most of whom were refugees from the north who had no property and no food. In the summer of the thirteenth year of Jianzhen, seven states in the south had fallen, and the Qinglian sect reached three million.

In the same year, the northern Jin people gathered 300,000 iron horsemen to step on the terracotta to the south, and the Jianzhen Emperor Yao Kezhen drove the expedition in person, and died in the spring of the 14th year of Jianzhen by the Cheng River.

When the news of the collapse of the Jianzhen Emperor Yao Kechen came, the southern gate valve quickly supported Yao Kexi, the king of Youfu, who was Chinese New Year's Eve when he lived in the south, to succeed him and change his name to Jianlong. Immediately, Emperor Yao Kexi of Jianlong activated the local armed forces in the south, and while sweeping away the turmoil caused by the Qinglian cult, he organized 200,000 local armed forces along the banks of the Cheng River to resist the southward movement of the Jin.

At this time, due to the threat of their vital interests, the southern gate lords finally burst out with great strength in a desperate situation, and actually achieved an extremely rare victory in the battle on the north and south fronts. In the second year of Jianlong, he finally signed the Jian'an Alliance with the Jin people, ceded the north of the Cheng River, and paid the annual coins. As for the battle with the Blue Lotus Sect, the offensive was halted after the recovery of the two states.
