July 23, 1214.

This day, known to later generations as the opening day of the sorrow of Shura, suddenly declared the Beihai Kingdom to enter a state of war without warning.

Later historians unanimously concluded that Haitian must have known some secrets before making this decision. And just as these historians guessed, Haitian knew something that seemed too difficult for him to understand from the mouth of his national teacher, Mu Yi, the head of Mumen.

On the night of July 22, 1214, in the royal palace of Beihai City.

In a simple and simple pure white palace, a certain king with extraordinary bearing sat at a white jade table with two cups of Qingming on the table. And opposite him, there sat a white-haired Taoist with immortal wind bones. The moonlight is like water, the cool breeze is blowing, and the sound of the piano is melodious in the distance. However, with such a beautiful scenery, only the white-haired Taoist tried his best to maintain his bones, but in the end he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face was unusually gray.

"Senior Brother Mu, what's wrong with you? He rushed to my palace in the middle of the night, and without saying a word, dragged me out of bed, saying that there was something extremely important. I see that you are so badly injured, is there something wrong with the Great Snow Mountain?" The person who spoke was the current king of the North Sea, Haitian. He looked anxiously at the white-haired Taoist in front of him, who was also his senior brother and the current head of the wooden gate. Once, Haitian apprenticed to Mumen and learned the power of sages and swordsmanship. And Mu Yi, as the elder brother of Mumen back then, was his best mentor and friend, and the two were like brothers.

"God, I'm fine, I just saw something I shouldn't have seen, and I lost my longevity. Mu Yi said weakly, but infinite fear flashed in his eyes.

Haitian naturally sensed this abnormal fear, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Mu, what did you just say, what do you mean by something that shouldn't be seen?"

Mu Yi eased his breath, suppressed the qi and blood in his chest, and said, "God, you may not believe it when you say it. Yesterday night, as usual, I performed my stargazing skills on the stargazing platform and practiced the power of the sages. Just as I was about to regain my strength, the starry sky suddenly became chaotic and demonic was pervasive. Curious, my Heavenly Eye pursued the source of this demonic energy, all the way to the west, and came to the Demon Canyon. ”

"Demon Canyon, the first Jedi in the Tianyun Continent?" Haitian asked.

"Not bad. When my Heavenly Eye saw the Demon Canyon, I saw that the purple light in the valley was flourishing, and the source of all the purple light seemed to be a musical instrument. However, I had never seen this instrument before, and I only saw seven strings faintly. Immediately afterward, my heavenly eyes looked up and saw a human face. ”

"Human face, how can there be a human face in the sky? Senior Brother Mu, could it be..."

"That face was really beautiful, just like the legend, full of beautiful smiles. When I saw this face, it seemed to be aware of my presence, smiling at me, motionless. At that moment, I suddenly realized what I had seen, and I wanted to take back the Heavenly Eye, but I couldn't take it back, only the smile lingered in my heart, and the power of my sages was also rapidly consumed, presumably at that time, my soul was hit hard. In desperation, the senior brother had no choice but to abandon the eye of heaven and cut off his heart by himself, so he escaped. ”

"Cut off the heart, isn't that?" Haitian didn't finish his words, but tears began to ooze from his eyes.

"God, don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while. It is estimated that I should have 10 years of longevity, and you must still remember the words of Longshan left by our ancestor Mu Qingzi when he returned to Beihai. ”

"Senior brother, do you mean the death of Longshan three thousand years ago?"

"Yes, it was the death of Longshan three thousand years ago. At that time, the ancestor was still the prime minister of the Longshan Empire. Longshan Emperor Murong Tianxiang led tens of millions of troops into the Demon Canyon and never returned, only Master Zu survived. In the words of Longshan, Master Zu once mentioned that at the moment when the army of tens of millions disappeared, he saw the face of the demon hanging high in the sky, you should still remember. ”

"Of course I do. Not only me, but everyone in the Tianyun Continent had heard of it. In this way, what Senior Brother saw yesterday was the face of the legendary demon. ”

"Not bad. The face of the demon, no matter what it represented, as long as it appeared, it would definitely set off a bloody storm in the entire Tianyun Continent. The ancestor once told the head of the descendants that if the face of the devil appears, the world will be in chaos, because it is not a power that belongs to this world, and you must guard the Beihai Snow Mountain. I have exhausted my life's work on this mountain, and I have found clues of the gods, and the Beihai royal family may be the descendants of the gods. If the demons dance wildly and the lives are ruined, you must lead the disciples of the Mumen to unite with the Beihai Imperial Family to defend the Great Snow Mountain. In addition, if there is an opportunity, collect the bloodline of the descendants of the ancient moon country general Leng Yue at all costs and put it into the Tianji bottle. This bottle was inadvertently obtained by the old man at the bottom of the valley of the Great Snow Mountain. Although I don't understand its use, but under the calculation, this bottle can end the next catastrophe in the Tianyun Continent. At that time, you will need to help Beihai unify the Tianyun Continent and restore the righteousness of heaven and earth. On the day of the unification of the Tianyun Continent, put the Tianji Bottle into the Demon Canyon, which is the time when the Demon Canyon disappears. ”

"So, the catastrophe is inevitable?" Haitian asked in despair.

Mu Yi picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and replied slowly: "God, the secret just now can only be known by the head of the wooden door, especially the matter of the Tianji bottle, which is even more secret." Now, I tell you all these secrets, and since the catastrophe is inevitable, we need to take measures as soon as possible to relocate the young women and children to the Great Snow Mountain. At the same time, you must also leave enough Beihai royal blood to continue Beihai, and in the past 10 years, I will help you monitor the situation on the mainland. As for the position of the head of the wooden door, I have quietly passed it on to Shijie. God, all plans need to be put into action immediately. It's just that the real reason for the migration of women and children can never be disclosed, except for the king of Beihai and the head of Mumen, no one in later generations can know this secret, otherwise it will lead to great disaster. ”

"Senior brother, even if the real reason for the migration of women and children is known, what can we do? Haitian said.

"God, do you think that the purple light I saw is a power that humans can control?" Mu Yi shouted.

Mu Yi's first drink made Haitian suddenly realize the horror of the problem.

"Senior brother, are you saying that all this is man-made? No, is it the gods?" Haitian said in a cold sweat and trembling.

"Alas, whether we are gods or demons, we are nothing more than pawns. Perhaps, the struggle of fate between you and me is just a drama in the eyes of those guys in heaven. Of course, the protagonist is certainly not us mortals. Mu Yi sighed.

Mu Yi's words let Haitian know that the authenticity of this matter is absolutely unquestionable. He understood that for Senior Brother to be so seriously injured, except for the face of a demon that did not belong to this world, there would definitely be no other force in the world today that could do it. Early in the morning, Haitian, who had not slept all night, immediately summoned his ministers and generals to hold an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Haitian announced in public that the Beihai Kingdom had officially entered a state of combat readiness.

Although many ministers and generals found it inexplicable and resolutely opposed it, Haitian still insisted on going his own way. From this day on, the Beihai Kingdom began to devote all its national efforts to migrate the young women and children to the Great Snow Mountain in batches, and the king of Bohai County, Haimu, was fully responsible. At the same time, the Beihai Kingdom hoarded a large amount of dried meat, grain, and countless melons, fruits, vegetables, and even seeds in Hanshan County, where the Great Snow Mountain is located. The ordinary disciples of Mumen urgently built a large number of special warehouses to store these grains. As for the core disciples of Mumen, they began to serve in the Beihai Navy and political department, training soldiers and rectifying government affairs. A large number of snow wolf cavalry, under the leadership of the major ice kings, rushed to the major strategic places from the base camp of the Beihai Snow Mountain, and the whole country seemed to be making the most adequate preparations for the unknown war.

A series of strange actions of the Beihai Kingdom made the Tianyun Continent, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, rumor for a while, and the people were all afraid. Since the Tianyun Continent had written records, it has always been in a state of war. But Beihai, which has always loved peace, has become a high-speed war machine overnight.

Although the North Sea Kingdom did not launch any attacks on other nations. However, in response to Beihai's strange moves, the Great Song Dynasty hurriedly increased its troops to Montenegro by 2 million, while the Chengtian Empire, which was on the main border with Beihai, amassed heavy troops along the border between the two countries in case of contingencies. However, months later. What made Chengtian and the Great Song Dynasty feel strange was that although the Beihai Kingdom had carried out a general mobilization for war early, there was no sign of war with its neighbors, but instead built a large number of fortifications, and pillboxes rose from the ground, as if they were guarding against attacks by other countries. This strange scene of not attacking but defending made the kings of the two countries even more uneasy, so they decided to send envoys to Beihai to find out.
