Chapter 231: The Prisoner of Five Hundred Years Ago (I)
In the 500 years since the founding of the Dajin Dynasty, there have been many great figures, but the most talked about are the seven people who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the south and the north at the beginning of the founding of the country and dominate the world.
In the history books of later generations, they were called the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest".
These seven people are the founding heroes of the country and the heroes and heroes.
But none of them died well.
Among them, the most tragic ending is the head of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", the regent, Luoqiu.
According to historical records, Luo Qiu intended to assassinate Emperor Taizu on Buzhou Mountain, plotting to seize the Dajin River, and was besieged to death by Emperor Taizu and his ten powerhouses in the Dawn Breaking Realm, and then exterminated the ten clans.
To this day, even if the emperor has restored the title of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", he has been reluctant to overturn the case for Luoqiu, which is the reason.
Later, a more widely circulated theory was that the reason why the remaining six of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" ushered in the butcher's knife of Emperor Taizu was also because of this earth-shattering rebellion case.
Or rather, it's because of Lochu.
In addition to Luo Qiu, three of the other six people were beheaded on the street to show the public, and the other three, the golden armor spirit saint Xu Bei took the initiative to resign from his position in the court, and then abolished the spirit and dismissed the clansmen, so he escaped with his life and was imprisoned in the Bianzhou Fenghuo Forest, and was never born again.
It is said that Xu Bei even lived much longer than Emperor Taizu, until Taizu died and Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, and Xu Bei was still alive.
It was not until Emperor Taizong, the shortest-lived emperor in history, died, and Emperor Xingzong ascended the throne for 30 years that Xu Bei died suddenly.
Such a famous old minister who made immortal contributions to the establishment of the Dajin Dynasty was at the time of his death. There was only one pawn who was in charge of guarding him, and even his body was just wrapped in a straw mat and buried.
The tombstone erected now in the maple fire forest was erected by the president of the Heavenly Star Academy on behalf of his descendants a hundred years after his death.
In addition to Xu Bei, the last two people left in the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" are called Ying Tianwu. The other one is the white-clothed sword saint that Xia Sheng has been using to fox fake tiger power, Mu Chenyi!
Regarding Mu Chenyi's final ending, it is the most mysterious and the most controversial among the seven people.
Some people say that Mu Chenyi was secretly executed by Emperor Taizu, and some people say that Emperor Taizu imprisoned him in a secret realm, but more people believe that Mu Chenyi should have escaped from Emperor Taizu's pursuit, and may have fled to the South China Sea, or he may have gone north to live in seclusion among the barbarians. It is even rumored that the white-clothed sword saint has become a monk in a certain temple.
In fact, no one knows.
Because even today, Mu Chenyi is still alive and dead, even if the Dajin Dynasty has gone through five generations of kings, and the emperor of the dynasty has also rehabilitated the trumped-up charges they once carried, he has never appeared in the eyes of the world.
Therefore, people are more inclined to believe that Mu Chenyi should indeed have escaped at that time. But in the end, he was buried in an unknown place, and I am afraid that not even a tombstone was left.
Here's why. Over the years, there has been news of the birth of the Sword Saint's relics in various states, but the reason has never been confirmed.
And among all of them, the one who is most keen to find the inheritance of Mu Chenyi is naturally none other than the Lost Sword Sect, which is said to be hidden in the White Flame Sword Formation in the Lost Sword Sect today. It is a patchwork of relics that generations of its suzerains have found in various states over the centuries.
This has also intensified the world's enthusiasm for the Sword Saint's relics, and from time to time some people claim to have found Mu Chenyi's clothing mound, personal accessories, mutilated sword pedigrees and other things, but no one knows which is true or false.
Interestingly, no one ever said that they had found Mu Chenyi's sword.
As a generation of Juggernaut. Mu Chenyi's most precious relic is, of course, his sword, but I don't know why, in the past five hundred years, there has never been any news related to it.
No one had even seen the scabbard.
To put it bluntly, five hundred years ago, in the era when heroes rose together and heroes were everywhere, Xu Bei and Mu Chenyi were equivalent to the existence of Yang Tianxiao and Pei Xu today.
And even more.
Because their strength is far beyond the Holy Rank.
If Yang Tianxiao and Pei Xu were placed five hundred years ago, with their realm, even if they only looked at the entire Dajin Dynasty, it would be difficult for them to rank in the top twenty if they were not considered demons and barbarians.
Because the Holy Word withered, they were born in the best of times.
Because they are invincible everywhere they look, they were born in the loneliest era.
Compared with Xu Bei and Mu Chenyi, two iconic figures in Lingdao and martial arts, Ying Tianwu, who is also listed in the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", is far inferior to the two in the realm, and his reputation is not as high as theirs, but his efforts to establish the Dajin Dynasty are not far behind!
Ying Tianwu, judging from the name alone, this doesn't quite look like a human name, but in fact, in his body, there is indeed the common blood of humans and demons.
He was born in the South Seas, raised on human soil, and was raised by his father.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a pair of turquoise vertical pupils, everything he did and said would be no different from a human being.
There is also a lot of debate in the world about Ying Tianwu's final life and death, but the reason why he is not as mysterious as Mu Chenyi is that he is not famous in the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", and even many people don't know whether he is a martial artist or a spiritual cultivator, and secondly, because in the past five hundred years, a total of seven people know his whereabouts.
These seven people are the five emperors of the Dajin Dynasty, as well as the two deans of the Spring and Autumn Academy:
Baifu, Baiqiu.
Because Ying Tianwu was imprisoned in the Spring and Autumn Academy!
In other words, Emperor Taizu and the first dean of the Spring and Autumn Academy, Bai Fu, turned him into a part of the Buju Mountain Guarding Array!
In the spring water of the back mountain that day, when Xia Sheng accidentally triggered the wonder of the three springs reflecting the moon and the sun and the moon shining together, he had already noticed that this mountain guarding array was composed of four parts in total.
One of them is the four main peaks of Lingxiao Peak, Qionghua Peak, Shuoming Peak and Rizhao Peak of Buju Mountain.
The second is the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain carved with the totem of thorn flowers.
Third, it is the mountain spring in the back mountain.
And, Twilight Cave!
These four parts complement each other and are indispensable, not only to protect the Spring and Autumn Academy, but also to imprison Ying Tianwu.
Exactly five hundred years.
Yes, to this day, this once the most non-existent of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest is still alive!
He is the backbone of this array!
Once upon a time, Ying Tianwu always thought that he would never see the light again for the rest of his life, and he would bury his bones under the mountain until the corpse decayed and no one could notice it.
Until this day, there was a little girl named Jiang Qiqi who quietly opened a gap in the weakest part of the formation.
For him bloomed one of the most beautiful begonia flowers in the world.
