Persuade the gentleman to have another glass of wine, and go west out of the copper gate without a reason. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Walking out of the Tongmen Pass standing on the northwest border of Zhongzhou, I looked at the wasteland in front of me within two hundred miles, all of which were uninhabited.
In the north of this wasteland, there is the border between Zhongzhou and the Northern Wilderness, and the Fengyan Mountain Range stretches from west to east. Turning to the south, what comes into view is the phantom shadow of the Twilight Kaolin that borders the Daisetsuki Mountains after going straight south for 800 miles.
Continuing westward, you can see clumps of sparse grass that stubbornly cover the dunes, and poplar forests that have been buried in the sand. They are still unyieldingly blocking the erosion of the wind and sand to the east.
Through the sandy air, in the dry yellow sun, facing the forked road that is almost covered by wild grass, there will be two directions for people to choose.
From here, turn north, at the end of the road, in Ziyou City.
From here, straight to the west, at the end of the road, is in the White Tiger City.
Purple You, White Tiger, the only two cities in the Western Continent.
......
Ziyou City, the imperial capital of Rouran. In the eighth year of Da Shang Yan, the six small countries around Rouran took advantage of the He clan in the western Xinjiang to send troops to Zhongzhou and invade Ziyou City. At that time, the Great Empress Musa Shiar, who had been designated as the next Great Empress and later known as the soul of the Rouran, and Sana Shiar, who was praised by the Butterfly of Rouran, were forced to flee.
In the tenth year of Yan, that is, five years before the fall of the Great Shang Dynasty, the war king He Chang'an, who had to temporarily return to the Western Continent, to help, and the Xiar sisters returned to Rouran. Musa Shyal reclaimed her territory, and was given the title of 'Emperor' the only one among the leaders of the Apocalypse, which has been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of Rouran, except for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. After that, until the sixteenth year of Yuan Qi, Rouran had incorporated more than 20 small countries around it into its command, becoming the only force in the Western Continent that coexisted with the He clan in Western Xinjiang.
White Tiger City, the jurisdiction of the He family. One of the seven heroic cities in Shenzhou, in the historical records that can be examined, it is also the oldest city except for the apocalypse. A thousand years ago, after the He clan entered the Western Continent, the White Tiger City underwent many repairs and many "demolitions".
Yan Huan, the former wise and powerful prince of the Great Shang. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he revealed his crazy mind and began to bring the huge Shang Dynasty into the abyss. In the first year of Yan, the emperor expelled the witch horse general who supported the government, and in the spring ploughing season, he gathered his military strength and fantasized about sweeping away the insects. In the end, in the third year of Yu Yan, the millions of bones of the human race became five words in the history books - the death of the Yellow Sand Sea.
When the world is in tears, the next generation is furious, the future generations are testimonial, and then people laugh and talk.
From generation to generation, these five words, gradually, began to be just five words.
In the sea of yellow sand at that time, the last strength of the human race broke through the retreat of 1,500 miles, which was the head of the He clan at that time, He Chong, and the army led by He Changan and He Qi.
However, after that, the emperor sitting in the apocalypse ignored the sacrifices of the others, and only threw out the reward in front of the battle merit table won by the three members of the He family.
In the fourth year of Yan, He Chong was thirty years old, He Chang'an was twenty years old, and He Yi was seventeen years old.
Millions of lives for three kings, a big joke.
The grief-stricken princes led the remnants of the army to leave one after another, and withdrew from the Tongmen Pass forever. After that, before the worms, the He family had no help.
And what was locked along with the bronze door was everything about the Zerg.
......
A long time ago, there were two questions that could be asked together, and that is: what is the city you want to go to the most, and what city you don't want to go to the most.
The answers to these two questions are in the Western Continent. The former is Ziyou City, and the latter is White Tiger City. That's what people used to tell as a joke at the time, a fact.
......
In Ziyou City, the people in the city are all walking slowly and comfortably. Most of them are cream-white, with beautiful hand-painted patterns, and they are all made of mud bricks made of mud from the river Varnasa River that runs through the city.
Every corner of a clean street, every three hours, the spear-wielding guards would change their guard with each other. Occasionally, young soldiers wear garlands on their heads that their partners have woven for them. Every now and then, a docile camel caravan will walk slowly through the streets and alleys, and the camel bells will sound low and pleasant.
As the caravan passed, the merchants on the camels and the inhabitants of the camels had already completed the exchange of goods and goods. The camel will also bend its neck, latch on to a branch or coarse grass handed by a child, and then continue on its way. The last man of the caravan would carry a broom and a bag on his shoulder, and sweep up the camel dung that had fallen on the ground, leaving it for after leaving the city and scattering it in the fields of the farmers outside the city.
In the very center of the city, there is always a large crowd of people surrounding the blue moon near the palace. To the sound of the piccolo tambourine brightly, the snow-white waist that kissed the air spun and writhed.
Every morning, guards walk up to the palace walls and blow trombones. The next moment, like a stone falling into still water, it was in a general circle, and there were guards in the high pavilions one after another, and the melodious sound of trumpets spread throughout the city.
At this time, the stranger will be awakened from the dream, leaving behind the sorrow and bringing only the joy of the world.
......
In White Tiger City, the people in the city were all sprinting with shouts. Every now and then, a man or a group of ostriches will gallop by, scattering feathers and guano in the roar and noise. There always seemed to be smoke wafting from here, and the sound of iron quenching was extremely harsh. The houses are lined with complex alleys that look like cracked riverbeds from the air. But the streets were still congested with mad horses, mad cars, mad ostriches, and mad people.
Every morning, after the roosters crow and the earth dogs bark wildly, in the palace of King He in the city, there will be a heaven-shaking drum. The next moment, the sound of drums shook the whole city, which was one of the only two layered rhythmic sounds in White Tiger City every day.
At this time, the stranger would get up with a loud curse after covering the blanket but still unable to block the sound.
Then, from young to old, from men to women, the entire White Tiger City was calling out a name:
"War King, War King, War King!"
When some outsiders were also infected by this atmosphere and wanted to call out this name that spread all over China, the words that resounded throughout the city had become three words:
"He Fenglie! He Fenglie! He Fenglie!"
When some of the strangers in this part hurriedly changed their words, the words became another three words:
"Your uncle!
All the strangers suddenly turned from surprise to joy, and they wanted to express their depressed feelings of being tossed by this night. But as soon as he shouted, he found that the tide had stopped.
Hurried pedestrians riding ostriches, setting up carts, and carrying bags of masonry, wood, and iron bars and rice would glance at them and spat at them:
"Sick!"
......
However, at some point.
On Ziyou City, when two short and one long trumpets sounded, they suddenly sounded at a certain moment.
In the White Tiger City, when the non-stop sound of drums suddenly overshadowed all the hustle and bustle.
In the city, the men dropped their tambourines and the women jumped off the stage, and the next moment, they changed into soft and tough leather armor, carried longbows and quivers, and were so narrow and sharp four-foot lancets.
In the White Tiger City, everyone gave way to the horses and ostriches rushing westward, and the carts slowed down briefly, and people threw their things into the carts and leaped up the wheels.
Now.
The people of Ziyou City became the Empress Guard.
The people of White Tiger City became the army of war kings.
Their destinations, all in one place.
Get out of the city.
Walk through the wilderness.
Walk through the 20-mile-long and 60-zhang high Huanghuang Great Wall.
Walk through the Great Gobi called the Sinking Sand Realm.
Finally walked to-
Twilight of Heroes, Sea of Yellow Sand!
