Chapter 39 Prosperity, Suffering, Death, and Suffering

"About 20 years ago, there was a three-year famine in the rich Cangyang. ”

Flying roaring with his hand behind his back to the eternal night star, looking into the vast wilderness in the west, "There used to be a lush forest, rabbits, roe deer, muntjac, fat and strong, are not afraid of people, every autumn and winter when socializing, when these guys have settled in autumn, our hunters in Yaque Ridge begin winter hunting, marinate their meat, when the snow covers the mountain, the family does not worry about eating and drinking, and will be able to have a good year." When my brother and I were young, what we looked forward to the most was the kebab that my father made years ago, the grill must be hand-picked red willow wood, and the green onions hidden in the cellar were mixed with cumin pepper and sprinkled with crackling oil. ”

"At that time, my father always patted me and my younger brother on the back, saying that the child would grow up quickly, and in the future, he would bend his bow and arrows, and he would become a good son of our Cangyang. ”

"Although I have never met my parents, I am envious and happy when I hear what you say. Star Evil said seriously.

"So you're a poor man, too. "You came from the border, and you saw those skinny and skinny hungry people, who lived like this twenty years ago, and now they have to dig out the insects and ants on the ground, and stuff them into their mouths." ”

"How did the three years of famine happen?" asked Star Evil.

Fei Yan pondered for a moment and replied, "Twenty years ago, Cangyang Huiyao elected a new great leader, and we, the common people, only know that he is the youngest great leader in Huiyao's thousands of years, and since he took office, Cangyang has changed. ”

"What has become?"

"I remember that the summer of the year when the chief took office was very hot and hot, the sky seemed to be hanging with six or seven suns, there was not a drop of rain for nearly four or five months, crops could not be grown in the fields, animals in the mountains and forests could not find water to drink, and many people's houses were on fire at noon for no reason, but it was difficult to find even water to extinguish the fire. ”

"Didn't the great leader of the Radiance ask for help from the Suyan family and the Qionglong family? I heard that the Qionglong family can give clouds and rain, and the Suyan family can also guide the water veins. ”

Of course the big leader looked for it, and even the patriarchs of the two families came over in person, but after hearing that the two patriarchs came to Cangyang, they also said that they couldn't do anything, and the big leader had a fierce dispute with them for some reason, and finally everyone broke up unhappily. The drought lasted for more than a year, and news came from the twilight side that the great leader of Huiyao practiced evil arts, which made everything in Cangyang unbalanced, and the people were not able to make a living. I don't know what kind of technique the Great Leader is practicing, I just know that if this weather continues like this, everyone will die here. ”

"So you're going to go to the sunset to grab water and food?" said Eternal Night coldly.

"It's not all our fault for grabbing water and food, your Yinjia Hui, the largest chamber of commerce in the sunset, resold grain and water in Zhenzhou, and when it was sold to our Cangyang, the price had doubled several times, and the glorious treasury was emptied, and the emperor of the sunset wanted us to exchange the land, who dared to change the land of the ancestors, even if he was the great leader of the glory, he couldn't afford this infamy. ”

"So there's only war. Cangyang has become a meat grinder, Emperor Longwu of the sunset drove his own expedition, the eight dragons will take nearly 10 million men and horses across the border of Zhenzhou, all the way to kill, Huiyao is not to be outdone, gather troops to resist, you come and I are red-eyed, not only the standing army, the cultivators are like ants rushing forward in large areas, a picture of the Ming Dao realm fell hundreds of thousands, the cave world realm was also flooded by the sea of people, and finally even the legend of Shangxian Realm began to fall one after another, less than three months later, the casualties on both sides exceeded 100 million, the Yaque Ridge at that time, starting from the feet of you and me, stretched for hundreds of miles to the north and south, all covered with corpses, how tragic。 ”

"Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the patriarchs of the four major families who had been sitting in the rear joined forces and went deep into Cangyang, defeated the Great Leader of Huiyao, exterminated him, and wiped out this ominous bloodline forever. It was a battle in the Jingsheng Realm, and I was hiding in the Yaque Ridge at that time, and I could still see the great power of destroying the world from a hundred thousand miles away. Even after more than ten years, Fei Roar still feels cold all over his body when he recalls the scene of that day, it is a group of beings that he even feels deep and distant when he looks up.

Wind Demon, Thunder Gong, Snow Emperor, Military King, Shadow Lord...... It was an era of devastation, but it was also an era of cultivators blooming, some heroes were already in their twilight, but the light on their bodies was still shining, but who could see the accumulated bones hidden under these lights. The cultivators have achieved great fame, ants-like common people, but they can never come back, hundreds of millions of nameless existences, even a little stop in the vast river of history seems so difficult.

The national fortune Longchang refers to the pavilions and pavilions of the emperor and the generals, the mountains and rivers are broken, and it is also the ruins of the royal family. The world is booming, the world is dying, and the people are ......

Bitter.

"After the battle, Cangyang has become like this, the remnants of the old Huiyao Department, the rising mountain bandits and bandits, burning, killing and looting, squeezing the last bit of wealth here, a large number of materials are occupied and hoarded by large and small forces, my things in the Crowque Ridge are not all snatched from the sunset, and there are many surrounding cottages to pay tribute in order to find a backer. ”

"I rewarded you with a hundred taels of gold before, and I wanted to take your head first, because I saw that you were cruel, thinking that you were a murderous villain, but after meeting, I admired you for daring at a young age, and I had the intention of loving talents, and when you broke the pass today, I would have to arrive later, so I asked the wolf herdsman to drag you first, and when I arrived, you or the wolf herder, I was sure to separate the two of you, but I never expected you to be much stronger than I expected, and I killed him. Maybe I'm too naΓ―ve, the seventeen-year blood feud in the twilight of Cangyang can't be solved in a few words, and now I don't expect to take you under my command. ”

"And what are you going to do with us?"

Eternal Night's question made Xingxie's heart sink, and he thought that Fei Roar's parents died at the hands of the soldiers of Sunset, and whether his parents, whom he had never met, also died at the hands of the Cangyang people?

"Rory has been dragging on for a long time and hasn't finished the fight, but it's a good thing, but it's a big problem. ”

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from a corner not far away, and the three of them followed the voice, only to see a slender girl leaning under a lonely old wall. It was the middle of winter, and the girl was covered with only a few simple pieces of fabric, revealing a large white dazzling carcass, she yawned, and then stepped on the gravel and yellow sand and walked to the side of the star evil, which can only be said to be delicate, and her face is full of banter.

"Are you ......" Xingevil looked at the girl, faintly feeling a familiar feeling in her, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"Men are really negative men, we have slept together for so many days, and you are still asking who the old lady is. The girl reached out and hooked Xingxia's chin, bringing her face very close.

"Swallow?" The Star Evil was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and then he remembered that the place where the girl appeared was the same place where the Star Evil had placed the Swallow before.

"Let's call it that for now. Tun Tun fell his gaze on Fei Roar, "Let me ask you, who is the strongest person in this radius?"

Fei Yan looked at the ordinary-looking girl in front of him, feeling as if he was facing a peerless beast, he calmed down, groaned slightly, and replied, "It should be Chaohu, the city lord of Gray Rock City." ”

Swallow twitched his nose and said, "What a heavy fishy smell." It seems that he has arrived. The next thing is no longer a joke between you little ones, leave as soon as possible, I can delay for a while. ”

"It's too late. The roar pointed to the distant sky.

There the sea breeze is salty, the waves crash on the shore, and the roar of a tiger shakes the heavens and the earth.

On the other side of Yaque Ridge, Shuanglian Town, which is an important frontier town at sunset, the disappearance of a small centurion did not cause much turmoil, but it was hastily reported to a heroic martyr for approval, after all, people are dying every day in this thousands of miles of border passes. However, in the past few days, the bandits and rogues in Yaque Ridge have been much quieter, and the silence makes the sergeants a little worried about what new conspiracy they are brewing.

High on the head of the city, in addition to the soldiers on routine duty, there will be a girl every morning, facing the biting cold wind to look at the sun, the cold winter wax moon, the soldiers watched the original bright girl day by day thin, the body is getting thinner, all feel that why bother, the mayor's daughter is knowledgeable, everyone is beautiful, it is very easy to find a good husband, but for a mere centurion tea does not think about food, it is about to be martyred, it is a pity.

"The girl's name is Ruonan?"

A clear voice sounded in the city, and the girl turned around and saw a young officer standing behind her, thinking that it was her father who had found someone who said that he knew her, and wanted her to empathize with her, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, but still out of politeness, she greeted the officer and said, "The little girl has seen the general." ”

"My name is Ming Zhe, and I take the liberty of saying a few words to ask Miss Ruonan. ”

Ruonan noticed that the young officer named Ming Zhe was wearing the standard armor of the Sunset officer, but the shoes were not military boots, and the shoes were embroidered with gilt green leaf patterns, and he was slightly startled, and asked, "General Ming Zhe is a member of the Apocalypse Ye family?"

"The girl has good eyesight. Ming Zhe saluted.

"The Apocalypse Ye family is my first family in the twilight, and the little girl is from a humble background, so I am afraid that she is not worthy of the general. Ruonan bowed in return, staring down at her toes and not daring to look at the young officer, what kind of power the Ye family in the capital is, the court has to weigh a few points, she is very worried that her refusal will provoke the anger of the Ye family, which will bring trouble to her father.

Ming Zhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled dumbly: "The girl will be mistaken, I want to ask if a white-clothed young man with a rabbit has looked for you a few days ago." ”

He said..... he went to find his senior brother, and then ..... went to Cangyang. Ruonan looked up at Ming Zhe suddenly, her eyes were already flooded, the young man in white who appeared some time ago was her last hope in these days, and it was precisely because of that young man in white that she had not given up hope until now.

"The young man's name is Xingxie, the senior brother he is looking for is called Yongye, and then the rabbit is called Swallow, and they are going to Crowbird Ridge, right?"

"Yes, is the general going to save them? Ruonan said that he was about to bow down to Ming Zhe, who held her up and said in a harmonious voice: "There are people among them who are very important to the girl, please rest assured, they will definitely be brought back safely." ”

After Ming Zhe finished speaking, he shouted to the city: "Ask clearly, let's go." ”

Under the city gate, a middle-aged man wearing a gray cotton jacket and a bearded face beckoned and grinned at Ruonan, who clearly saw that the sloppy man's eyes had a crack in the place where it should have been a pupil, and there was a black spot on each side of the rift.
