The three leaves in the cup were still floating, slowly spinning. After another cup of tea, Song Shijie asked solemnly: "Uncle Shijie, there is still something unknown about Shijie." As you just said, since Beihai will be defeated in this battle, why should Uncle Shi have to deploy all the elite troops in Mulan, Beihai, and Menglan counties? Militarily speaking, except for the east of Luoxia Pass, our army needs to protect it. If you use Tianbao Mountain as a barrier, move the base camp to Daixue Mountain. With the steepness of Tianbao Mountain and the strength of our northern navy, sticking to Tianbao Mountain will make our Beihai at least invincible. Because no matter what, the Chengtian Empire will definitely choose a quick battle and a decisive battle with the main force of our army. On the contrary, our army only needs to hold on, and when winter comes, the sky will retreat. Even if the three counties are handed over to each other and seek peace from Chengtian, it is better than the misery of the living and the blood flowing like a river. Besides, the coming day is long, and we may not have no chance to fight back in Beihai. ”

Hearing this, Haitian first nodded, then shook his head, his beard drooped, and sighed helplessly: "Shijie, how can I not know what you said? From a military point of view, as long as this battle becomes a protracted war, the ice and snow storm in the winter in the North Sea is enough to make the Chengtian army retreat without a fight. However, Uncle Shi doesn't care about the life and death of Beihai, but there are unspeakable secrets!"

"Unspeakably hidden?", Song Shijie suddenly remembered an important thing that he needed to know about this trip, so he immediately asked: "Uncle, I heard that the old man has fallen into a coma. Shijie didn't know, who was the master injured? Along the way, I pondered and meditated, and I couldn't figure it out. ”

"Injured by someone, no one on the Tianyun Continent can hurt your master, except for the legendary Guyue* master. Maybe it has something to do with him. In short, what I'm going to tell you next may seem strange to you, but maybe that's the truth. And, you have to swear, you can't tell anyone about it except the crown prince. ”

Song Shijie looked solemn and made an oath.

Haitian looked at the three leaves in the cup, took a sip of tea, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "A few months ago, the night before your master left Daxue Mountain. When the senior brother was calculating stargazing, he accidentally discovered a mysterious and demonic purple light. Curious, Senior Brother followed the vine and found that the source of this purple light was actually in the Demon Canyon?"

"Demon Canyon, the first Jedi in the Tianyun Continent!" Hearing the four words Demon Canyon, Song Shijie faintly felt that what Haitian said was extraordinary.

"After the senior brother tracked down the Demon Canyon with his Heavenly Eye, he found that the legendary demon face was revealed in the sky above the canyon Back then, Mu Qingzi, the founding patriarch of our wooden gate, had also seen the face of the demon, so it was not surprising. However, the senior brother saw a different scene. In the core of the Demon Canyon Mountain Range, there is a demon harp. The demon qin emitted countless strange purple lights, and its sound was like the cry of ten thousand ghosts. Moreover, the sound of this qin seems to have the effect of ingesting the heart, and even the senior brother was injured by this demon qin, and he couldn't control himself. In order to get out, the senior brother had to forcibly cut off the heart veins and retract the heavenly eye. My brother told me that this qin was most likely from the divine realm or the demon realm, and the magic qin was the fuse of this catastrophe. Senior Brother said that the Tianyun Continent was about to be in chaos for eight hundred years. If after 800 years, the Tianyun Continent cannot be unified, then the entire world will be cursed forever, and it will become a paradise for demons forever. ”

Song Shijie looked shocked, the amount of information was too much, so that the world-famous Snow Mountain Flying Sword couldn't digest it at this time. After a while, Song Shijie sorted out his thoughts and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Shi, do you mean that within eight hundred years, the Tianyun Continent must be unified?"

"Not bad. Moreover, the time of reunification must have been at the moment when the eight-hundred-year catastrophe limit came. Therefore, the head of the wooden gate and the king of the North Sea eight hundred years later will be crucial. In addition, at the moment of dominating the heavenly clouds, the head of the wooden gate needs to put the Tianji bottle into the Demon Canyon for this catastrophe to end completely. Haitian said.

No wonder when the master passed on my position as head a few months ago, he told me to protect the Tianji bottle. When it came to the Tianji bottle, Song Shijie couldn't help but recall.

"That's true. Shijie, except for the head of the wooden gate and the king of the North Sea, the matter of the Tianji Bottle must not be known to anyone. Because at the moment, we don't even know who is behind this catastrophe, so the Heavenly Machine Bottle is our only chance. However, although the Heavenly Machine Bottle is very important, it is not the real reason for me Beihai to dominate the Tianyun Continent. Speaking of this, Hai Tian said unsatisfactorily.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Song Shijie, who had just understood a little, was confused again.

"Senior brother once said that the people behind the scenes seem to have deliberately placed the main battlefield of the catastrophe in the Great Song Dynasty on the south bank of the Yunhe River. Under the deduction of the senior brother, he calculated that Song and Chengtian would start an eight-hundred-year war, and Song Tu would become a hell on earth. Moreover, Senior Brother once said that this catastrophe seems to be someone's catastrophe, we are just chess pieces, and Tianyun Continent is just a stage. The cursed will appear in 800 years, so that is the time to unify the heavens and clouds. ”

"Eight hundred years?" Song Shijie finally realized when he heard this, and then said: "In that case, Uncle Shi insists on confronting the Chengtian Empire head-on, the purpose is to weaken Chengtian as much as possible and stop the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

"Exactly. Therefore, from now on, the kings of Beihai and the heads of Mumen must take it as their responsibility to unify the world. Shijie, this is not ambition, but supreme merit, everything we do is to protect Tianyun and stop the catastrophe. Even if we are as small as ants, we cannot be toyed with by God at will. This kind of blood feud will eventually be rewarded. Perhaps, in 800 years, when the world is finally dominated, it may be that future generations will act against their conscience. In addition, the senior brother also told me a sentence that needs to be remembered by future generations. ”

"What?"

"If you encounter purple light, no matter the ends of the world, chase and attack it. Haitian said.

"Shijie understands that the head of the Mumen in the future will swear to protect his homeland and kill demons!" Song Shijie stood up proudly and said categorically.

Haitian patted Song Shijie on the shoulder and said apologetically: "Uncle Shi originally wanted to hold a marriage for you and Xue'er now, but now that the enemy is pressing, Xue'er, this kid likes to be strong, so he has to go to the front line in person." In desperation, I had no choice but to let her be in charge of the security of the army's logistics and transportation lines. Tell me, why is this kid Xue'er so disobedient?"

"Uncle Shi, the princess Bingxue is smart, has excellent martial arts, and is deeply loved by the people, so Uncle Shi should be happy. Song Shijie said.

"Hehe, look at you, as soon as you mention Xue'er, you will cover her. From childhood to adulthood, this girl has been spoiled by you. In this way, she will be back from the Great Snow Mountain in a few days. In the past few days, you will live in Beihai City for the time being. ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Song Shijie replied happily. Afterwards, the two talked by candlelight until the sky was slightly bright.
