Chapter 043: Lushan

In the eighty-sixth year of the Aeolian Era, December 29, New Year's Eve.

The Xia Capital Political Affairs Hall announced that one hundred and eight capitals in thirty-six counties and seventy-two states in the country had suddenly become ill and died, and the Qilin family was extinct, and the bloodline of Emperor Tianwu was extinct from the world.

Although the people of Xia knew that this day would come sooner or later, as soon as the news was released, it still shocked the whole country, including the Xia capital city, and the officials and people from all over the country held solemn ceremonies to commemorate the kindness of the Tianwu Emperor and the Qilin clan. As for Lynch, the last descendant of the unicorn who died young, almost no one cared about it.

The Black Flag Army, the Tianwu Army, the Flying Bear Army, the Dragon and Tiger Army, the Water Army, the Four Seas Navy and many other famous legions with a long history have all sent important generals to the Xia Capital City to strictly hold accountable the political affairs hall for why they did not protect the bloodline of the Qilin clan.

Among them, the generals from the Black Flag Army and the Tianwu Army were particularly angry, and the generals attending the meeting made a big fuss in the Summer Palace Council, not only recalling the bloody case of the Qilin Mansion being attacked by the Tianshu assassins in the 80th year of the Fengshen Chronicle, but also turning out the old accounts of the "Battle of the Red Emperor City" in the 93rd year of the White Bird Chronicle.

Lei Xiaotian, the Grand Duke of the Thunder Clan, who is also the Grand Sima of the Council Hall, the Great General of the Five Thunders, and the Deputy Marshal of the World Army, took the initiative to accept the guilt and was punished by a three-level demotion and a fine of five years, but he still acted as the Grand Sima and the Great General of the Five Thunders.

Hongyitang issued the "Book of Sins", in order to fail to keep the last descendant of the Qilin and fail to cure the black heart disease, and apologize to the Xia Kingdom and all the people of the Xia Kingdom. All the great doctors also received different degrees of punishment.

However, people cannot be resurrected after death, the matter has come to this point, no matter what they do, they can't get back a living Qilin bloodline, and the punishment on the surface has no substantive meaning at all, these generals finally hurried back to their stations.

The Qilin clan is the heir, this matter can be big or small, who knows if it will become the fuse of a new war......

......

In other words, since the fall of the last Heavenly Warrior Lin Cheng in the "Battle of Red Emperor City", the Qilin clan has been in decline for more than three hundred years, and has always been in a state of struggling to survive.

For this ethnic group that has been great for hundreds of years and humiliated for hundreds of years, the people of Xia are full of sympathy, and they seem to be relieved to see that they are finally extinct.

Originally, as early as when Lin Menglong became the last Qilin in the world, the people of the Xia Kingdom completely lost confidence in the Qilin clan. But no one expected that Lin Menglong and Lei Weitong, the mother of the unicorn, would give birth to a blockbuster "Bai Lei'er", as well as the dragon and phoenix fetus of Lin Qi'er and Lin Lin'er, who are said to be comparable to the most famous in the golden generation, made the Qilin clan bloom again with long-lost vitality, like a flame rekindled on the ashes that had been piled up for hundreds of years.

It's just that a few years ago, there was a world-shattering Qilin Mansion assassin incident, "Bai Lei'er" and the dragon and phoenix fetuses were killed, leaving only a sick son Lynch, who was still alive.

Since Lin Menglong's death, in the six years since Lynch became the last unicorn in the world, the people of Xia have already been fully prepared to meet this day, so they calmly accept this fact.

Without relying on the Qilin clan, Xia Guoye has persisted for more than three hundred years, and will continue to do so in the future......

Except for a few insiders, the whole Xia Kingdom did not know that Lynch, the last descendant of the Qilin, was actually alive, and on the night of his "death", he was sent to the forbidden land of the Qilin clan, Lushan, by the coachman of the Qilin Mansion.

......

The deer chirped, the ape cried like crying, and from time to time there were bears, tigers, wolves, leopards and other fierce beasts roaring, frightening the birds to fly and the beasts to run wildly.

The forests at dusk are the most frightening, because the tigers usually come out to hunt at this time. Tigers are the kings of the mountains, and there are few beings that can threaten them, even the most capable warriors.

However, the terrifying thing is that on Lushan, and even in the huge Canglong Ridge attached to Lushan, the tiger is not the king of the mountains and forests in ordinary places, but the most common one among too many fierce beasts, far more powerful than them, there are countless beasts

Where the Canglongling Mountain Domain is located, under normal circumstances, humans are never allowed to set foot in it, on the one hand, they are afraid of defacing the dragon veins of the Xia Kingdom, and on the other hand, it is precisely because of these fierce beasts and monsters who treat mortals as blood food.

Lynch sat on the high branch of a big tree, huddled in a ball, tightly wrapped in the fur coat that his mother had prepared for him before leaving, and he was still forcibly exercising to protect himself from the cold, but he still couldn't withstand the cold in the mountains in the middle of winter, and was shivering from the cold.

As the sun set, the faint afterglow that shone on him faded away, leaving only the cold darkness that he had to endure for the whole night.

This is the sixth day since he was sent to the mountain, even if it is the edge of the mountain forest, fierce beasts rarely infest, he will never dare to be careless, if he is not careful, he may die in the mouth of the beast.

Rao still had to try to go deeper into the forest. As an outlaw who killed people, the person who killed was the son-in-law of Song Changfeng, the patriarch of the Song clan, he not only had to watch out for the fierce beasts in the mountains, but also had to pay attention to the threat from outside. With the authority of Song Changfeng and the Song family, it may not be difficult to find out the truth of the matter, and eighty percent of that clan will not let go of themselves, and they may send people to hunt down and kill them at any time.

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?

He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must enter at least another hundred zhang tomorrow, at least over the small hill that had stopped him for two days.

There is a litter of white-fronted tigers inhabited on the hill, two large and five small, the female tiger protects the young tiger that has not yet been weaned, generally does not go out of the nest, only the male tiger often goes out to forage.

Therefore, as long as you avoid the male tiger, you can pass the post safely.

If it weren't for the pity of the litter of weak tigers, he would even have the bold idea of finding a way to hunt tigers. The flesh of the tiger is abundant and pure, especially the meat of the wild tiger in the mountains and forests, which contains vigorous spiritual breath and has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the body, and is the best food for the martial artists who refine the body.

Because of his black heart disease, his blood and qi are several times thinner than ordinary people, and he needs to take in enough nutrients and energy to maintain his life. One of the side medicines of the Huiyang Water he has been taking since he was a child is refined from the flesh and bones of the mountain tiger.

In fact, since the advent of the Black Iron Age until their demise, Lushan has been the exclusive hunting ground of the Qilin clan for a long time. The black-hearted unicorns often escape into the secluded mountains and even the depths of Canglong Ridge together, constantly hunting all kinds of fierce beasts and monsters, and obtaining the blood food needed to refine their bodies and strengthen their bodies while exercising themselves. Even his father, Lin Menglong, went to the mountains to hunt many times when he was young.

He can never be compared with the Qilin people, including his father, but since he is here, he must follow the footsteps of his ancestors, move forward bravely, become stronger bravely, resist the disease, save his life, and be like the first ancestor of the Qilin thousands of years ago, Tianwu Emperor Lin Ze, put him to death and come back to life.

......

Lushan was originally called "Luli Mountain" because it looks like a galloping horse from the sunny side and a prone fairy deer from the yin side. It is said that the reason why it evolved into today's "Deer Mountain" is to commemorate Lin Ruxiao, who lived the longest time in the Golden Age, known as a deer rider and deer immortal.

At that time, Lin Ruxiao, who was not inferior to the heavenly warriors Lin Yang, Lin Xiu and others, was generally praised by the Great Xia government and the opposition in terms of talent and virtue, and was considered the best successor to the throne.

However, after the death of Emperor Tianwu Lin Ze, he did not succeed to the throne, but chose to retreat, living in seclusion in Lushan, and disappeared after he lived for more than two hundred and fifty years, and his whereabouts are still unknown......

Some people say that Lin Ruxiao is still alive, but he is just in seclusion; some people say that he has already become an immortal and reached the unknown kingdom of heaven; some people say that because he had the ambition to be an emperor, he has been imprisoned in a prison in the depths of Lushan and finally died in prison; some people say that he was drunk and fell asleep in a certain mountain mansion and never woke up. All kinds of legends have dyed this mountain with bizarre mystery.
