"He's gone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A voice came from Qiao Ximing's chest, flat, but with a low meaning.

This is the voice of Kusan.

One moment, the imperial capital thousands of miles away had just ended the turmoil, and the next moment, Kongsan seemed to know the end. For this, Qiao Ximing didn't know how Kong San did it, and he didn't have the heart to know.

Perhaps he had been expecting something, but he waited for days in the cabin in the grove, but the result was not a surprise, only as sad as expected.

Beside him, Xue Yiwu looked at him with worried eyes.

Although it was only a short month and a half, it was enough for her to see how deep the relationship between the old man and Qiao Ximing was. The deeper the bond, the more it can crack a bottomless ravine in a corner of the heart.

Then, the sky collapsed, and the earth cracked.

But Qiao Ximing seemed to be unusually calm.

After Kusan's words, he was silent for a while, then went into the room and picked up the yellow leaf the size of a human head from the wooden table, gently pinched it in the palm of his hand, then turned around and walked out, pacing, and lying down on the unmanned chaise longue.

Babble!

The chaise longue swayed back and forth, making a slight sound, and then gradually quieted down after a while.

Looking at the blue sky of Sanyang covered by the eaves, and feeling the cool breeze brought by the yellow leaf fan in his hand, Qiao Ximing squinted, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.

The hut was silent, and so it went on for two hours.

Call!

A deep breath broke the silence.

Under Xue Yiwu's concerned gaze, Qiao Ximing slowly got up, looking a little lazy. For some reason, she had the illusion of seeing an old man.

"Make a grave for him!"

Half an hour later, there was a small mound at the back of the hut with a long plank inserted into it.

- The tomb of Qiao Ximing's teacher.

After thinking about it, the word "division" on the board was smoothed out and replaced by the word father.

Then, after another moment, the whole plank suddenly crumbled, turning into a pile of wood chips, which was scattered on top of the mound.

Knock! Knock!

Three ringheads.

"Let's go, don't bother him. ”

The voice was incomparably flat, Qiao Ximing turned around with a soft face and walked towards the outside of the forest.

Xue Yiwu looked at Qiao Ximing's back, then looked at the mound again, bit her lower lip and hesitated, then knelt down like him, and after kowtowing three times, she got up and chased Qiao Ximing's figure away.

......

The two hundred and twenty-third year of the abandonment of the boat, the seventh day of the ninth month, near dusk.

The bloated wooden houses in the woods were empty again, and there were no old men, no boys, no silver-haired girls.

The long rocking chairs, the high grill, and the yellow leaf fan were still quietly placed under the eaves as before, and the old clothes that had been mended, and the new clothes that had just been sewn were neatly stacked on a large and a small one, and a floor mat.

The September day was very hot, and there was no cool breeze like the beginning of spring, and it was so hot that people panicked.

Finally, a breeze blew, and on the newly turned mound of earth behind the wooden house, the white powder was lifted up, and flew into the air against the bloated shell of the wooden house, hovering, and then dissolved with the blue of the sky, and never fell again.

The woods are silent, and the beasts are silent.

......

The early establishment of the Abandoned Boat Empire naturally could not be the credit of the emperor alone.

As the only emperor-level capable person of the human race, Wu Xiuwen is supreme...... Symbol.

Not to mention the eight tribes of brute beasts, just the four clans of demons, spirits, death, and ghosts that circulate in the mouths of ordinary humans all have their own emperor-level powerhouses, and the biggest role played by Wu Xiuwen in the entire process of creating a country is a strategic role.

Because of his existence, the four Barbarian Beast Emperors who showed up would not personally attack and deal a devastating blow to the human race. It is equivalent to nuclear deterrence in the era of nuclear weapons on the earth, and only the forces that control this high-end force have the right to speak, otherwise, they can only be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the strong.

This kind of deterrent power is especially important, so important that it shines brightly, completely suppressing the brilliance of the first group of people who really shed their heads and blood, so that they are gradually diluted, and become legends that people don't talk about much.

There are hundreds of such legends, two prefectures and four cities, each with its own history.

And the Sage of the Wind is one of the legends that belong to the Qilin Imperial Capital.

Wu Xiuwen is a nuclear weapon, which looks good and makes people feel at ease, but he can't use it at will, so most of the people who really lead the army to fight are still the original batch of people with similar abilities.

The cultivation of a person with ability is difficult, a person starts from nothing, climbs all the way to the phase level, and the time spent in it is measured in decades, even if it is a genius.

But in the early days of the state, this was not the case!

......

"Young Master, who is the Sage of the Wind you are talking about?"

At the Captain's Mansion, White sat next to Viren and asked with a frown.

A week had passed since the night he was forced to preach, and Whalen did not seem to have changed, but White gradually noticed something strange and inquired about what had happened.

It's just that he doesn't know what Viren said about the sage of the wind.

"Sage of the Wind...... is a title that has been discontinued. ”

Viren's eyes flashed, recalling the legends he had heard from his childhood friends.

"More than 200 years ago, thirteen starships carrying humans landed on this abandoned ship. At that time, human beings had not yet mastered the power of the capable, and could only rely on the power of science and technology, which was left on the star boat, to fight to the death against the brute beasts. However, this power is limited, and in just a dozen years, technology has been exhausted, and mankind has fallen into a desperate situation......"

"At this desperate juncture, Wu Xiuwen rose strongly, and broke into everyone's sight with an emperor-level cultivator, turning the tide and pulling the balance of the war back a little towards the human side. No one knows where his cultivation comes from, but he is the savior of mankind after all, but there is only one Wu Xiuwen, and there are four beast emperors faced by humans, even if the five parties contain each other, we have almost no resistance in the battle power competition below the emperor level. ”

So, after barely struggling under the protection of Wu Xiuwen for a year, the first batch of human abilities appeared. ”

Viren's face was very serious, as if what he was telling was not just a story, but a secret.

"The appearance of the first batch of human abilities is as abrupt as the rise of Wu Xiuwen, it seems that in just one year, as many as tens of thousands of people have mastered the cultivation method out of thin air, and they have ascended to the sky in one step, and the highest one directly has a phase-level cultivation!"

"Among this group of people, there are seven people who are the most dazzling, and they are known as the Seven Great Sages. They have mastered different powers, and their cultivation is all high-level level, and as soon as they are born, they will overwhelm the offensive of the four brute beasts and sweep away the disadvantages of the war. ”

A glimpse of the past of mankind, White's mood stirred, and he vaguely understood what the Sage of the Wind meant.

But Veren's words weren't over yet.

"It stands to reason that the lifespan of a person with a level of ability is about one hundred and twenty years old, but this is not the case with the Seven Great Sages. The seven sages of the first generation, only four years after they were born, suddenly died violently, and their blood flowed backwards and became corpses in an instant!"

White's heart jumped, and he was amazed at the turn of history.

And Viren paused, shook his head and continued: "Actually, not only the Seven Great Sages, but most of the first batch of human abilities are short-lived, except for those who died on the battlefield, they suddenly reversed their cultivation one day and ended up with the Seven Great Sages, the reason for this is ...... Nobody knows. ”

"But the war continues, and humanity cannot afford to lose the support of the Seven Great Sages. ”

"Half a month later, the second generation of sages was born, and they are still seven high-level sages, seven kinds of extremely powerful powers!"

β€œ...... They lived for five years. ”

As if casually clenching his fists, Viren stared blankly at the air outside the room.

"From generation to generation, the Seven Great Sages became the title of the Seven Human Powerhouses, which was passed down for thirty years, and then, in the fifth generation...... It's broken!"

White was taken aback.

From the story, it was not difficult for him to hear that without the appearance of the Seven Great Sages, even Wu Xiuwen would not be able to keep the incense of mankind on the abandoned boat star full of brutes, let alone establish an empire and develop the empire to this day.

"They, what's wrong?"

Viren glanced at him and shook his head.

"Of the fifth generation of sages, three were killed, two were captured, and two were missing. The Sage of the Wind, one of the two missing Sages. ”

"Captured? Are they ...... by brutes?"

"Not a brute. Viren lowered his eyes: "It's the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat." ”

"What?"

Reaching out and taking a sip of tea, Viren's expression remained flat.

"In the eleventh year of the abandonment of the boat, the Qilin Imperial Capital and the left and right two mansions have been completed, and the four cities of the Holy Beast are also nearing completion, but at the moment when the human race is ready to celebrate the completion of the homeland, the fifth generation of the Seven Sages ...... Rebel!"

Rebel!?

In White's incredulous gaze, Viren lowered his voice slightly: "This is not a legend, but a forbidden history!"

"In the eleventh year of abandoning the boat, on the thirteenth day of the seventh month, the fifth generation of the Seven Sages led thousands of capable people to attack the forbidden city of the imperial capital in one fell swoop, trying to rebel...... Kill the Emperor!"

"On that day, the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat showed his cultivation for the first time in his compatriots, and overnight, the sky fell apart, the seven sages were killed, three were injured, and four were injured, and there was not one in the hundreds of thousands of abilities, and only a few people escaped in the end......"

Viren stopped talking, but White understood the meaning of the unfinished words.

Bennord Joseph is one of the last seven sages to abscond, the fifth generation of wind sages, who attempted rebellion two hundred years ago!

In one sentence, there is too much content that can shock people to the point of losing their voice!

White swallowed his saliva, but countless questions welled up in his heart.

For example, why did each generation of the Seven Sages live so shortly, and why did the fifth generation of Wind Sages live for more than two hundred years?

For another example, why did the Seven Sages, who were the heroes of the founding of the country, come up with the idea of rebellion and confront the emperor only eleven years after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

And most importantly, that'...... Why did the Wind Sage find Viren!?

Suddenly, White's eyes lit up.

"The Seven Sages are the title of inheritance, young master, you were passed on by the Wind Sages, wouldn't that be ......"

"It's not!"

Viren shook his head, interrupting White's delight.

"Bennord Joseph, he is a fifth-generation Wind Sage, but the word he has passed on to me does not belong to the Wind Sage!"

White was stunned.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, causing the two to stop talking.

Knock knock!

"Young Master, Lord White. ”

The speaker, one of the Beria family guards in the past.

Viren put down the teacup, "What's wrong?"

The man bowed his head at the doorway and spoke.

"Captain Joe is back!"
