Chapter 13: The Sage of the Ages

A month after the end of the drought, Ma Jiu sent the Pterodactyl Guards to ask Ao Han and Yeats to discuss the punishment of the black horse cavalry of Tianmao Mountain. The three leaders gathered again in Ma Jiu's Shimen Palace, and Ma Jiu told the two of them: "These black horse cavalry are already half-human and half-ghost, but the leading Demon Emperor is completely a devil and cannot be killed. I plan to send all the other black horse cavalry except him to the underground valley that divides the north and the south, where there is a natural cavern that is damp and dark and corrupts human bodies, and I will let them build their own castle in it as their own prison. They will slowly retreat from the flesh inside, and in the end, only bones remain, and as for this Demon Emperor, I have my own way to deal with it. Yeats stepped forward and asked, "Then what are you going to do with the Demon Emperor?"

"Let him go to Purgatory of Fire and Ice, I need the help of both of you. Ao Han said suspiciously, "How can we help?"

Ma Jiu opened his hands, and a black time hole suddenly condensed above his hand, and then countless tiny crystal particles rotated outward from the inside to form a crystal ball, Ma Jiu closed the crystal of his hands and disappeared, he said: "This is a crystal lock, and things that enter it can be trapped forever." I need you two to ride my pterosaur to the largest volcano in the east, the Scorching Sun Volcano, to fetch a piece of tinder, and I will go to the South Pole Island to fetch ice, and then I will fuse into a cage of ice and fire to imprison him. ”

Ao Han and Yeats flew to the Sun Volcano with two pterosaurs, and the Sun Volcano was quite peaceful at this time, and it did not erupt on its terrifying side, so they successfully got a piece of fire. However, they returned to Black Cong Mountain and stayed for most of the day, until it was dark, and Ma Jiu did not return from Gur Island. Outside the Shimen Palace, the scarred Ma Jiu jumped off the pterodactyl, covered the wound on his right arm with his left hand, and then shook the ice out of his pocket with all his might. He quickly lay down on a nearby chair with a pale face, and the people around him rushed to bandage his wounds. Ao Han and Yeats also walked over, and when they lifted the clothes on his right arm, a tear nearly thirty centimeters still bleeding was revealed. Ao Han looked at the pterosaur outside, and the pterosaur that had carried Ma Jiu to the icy land was also slumped to the ground at this time, and there was still a frozen insertion in its throat. Ao Han helped Ma Jiu and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, who got you like this?" Ma Jiu just shook his head in pain and didn't speak.

After an hour, Ma Jiu finally relieved the pain. He smiled palely and explained to Yeats and Ao Han: "Nobody, it's freezing and I just accidentally bumped into the tip of the ice, so don't get in the way, bring me the ice and fire." Ma Jiu tried to divert their attention and tried not to recall the terrifying scene, Yeats and Ao Han looked at each other and did not ask again, judging from their years of experience in war, this was definitely not their own scratch, Ma Jiu must have met some powerful opponent on Gul Island to cause him to be so seriously injured.

After Ma Jiu got the ice and fire, he began to chant the witch language to fuse the two objects that represented extreme cold and heat. A powerful air flow struck from behind Ma Jiu, and the cold ice and fire began to merge under the impact of the air current. They swirled and wound in the air to create orange-red and bright blue streaks, and in a few moments a crystal ball with one blue side and one red side came out. Ma Jiu sent someone to lift the tightly bound Demon Emperor, he put the crystal ball on the Demon Emperor's face and recited the witch language, the crystal ball began to suck the contact into its sphere, the Demon Emperor wanted to shout but couldn't, his head first drilled into the crystal ball and then his body went in, and then the crystal ball fell to the ground as if nothing had happened.

Ma Jiu picked up the crystal ball and said to the others with a smile: "This thing is called 'Deathheart', he will never come out, and immediately send someone to escort the other black horse cavalry to prepare to go to the cave in the north." That night, Ma Jiu entertained Yeats and Ao Han at Heicong Mountain, firstly to celebrate the victory of the war, and secondly, to repay them for saving their lives. Early the next morning, the Savage Chief was ordered to escort the Evil Flame Emperor and the other dark horse cavalry to the cave to build an underground castle prison for himself.

In "Heart of Death", frost and flames are interspersed, the cold air on the ice side is rushing, and the object is frozen on the touch side, and the flames on the fire side are rolling and melting in the fire. The Demon Emperor was frozen into ice for a while, and burned into magma for a while, but he was immortal. This torment of life and death would torment him forever, and Ma Jiu used this method to give the Demon Emperor enough time to repent of the heinous sins he had committed.

After Ao Han returned to the Daimon tribe, the condition of the tribe improved greatly, and the stubborn disease gradually disappeared from the crowd. Wars and natural disasters have killed and injured most of the Daemon people, and Ao Han will never bring his people back to the valley plain, because there are countless righteous souls who are willing to die for their lives, and since then this rich land of the valley has become the cemetery of the Daemon people, and Ao Han will go to worship his relatives and the brother who was born and died every year.

Since then, the Daimonites have established their own tribal settlements on the west bank of the Shengya River, and many exiles have come to join them. After the baptism of disaster, no one cares about the difference between blood and race, and they take in all the fallen people from different tribes who come to take refuge.

Ten years later, the Evil Flame Emperor and his dark horse cavalry worked day and night to build their own underground castle prison in the gloomy cavern. The five-storey-high, iron-fenced underground castle imprisoned them forever, not only that, but Ma Jiu also imposed a dark curse on the castle prison, so that the people in the prison would disappear once they saw the light, and the savage clan sent people to guard it here for generations according to Ma Jiu's orders. The Great Wizard Ma Jiu saw through that the death of the enemy was not the best way to solve all hatred, and he wanted to punish the Evil Demon Emperor with atonement and repentance, and at the same time punish the Evil Flame Emperor and all the dark horse cavalry, and what he hoped most for the dark horse cavalry was that after a hundred or thousands of years, they would be able to understand their sins and pay the price for it, and then reform themselves and wait for the light to redeem them.

Twenty years later, the Dimon tribe on the west bank of the Shengya River is a large family with a population of nearly 150,000. Ao Han felt that the Daemon could no longer rule so many people as an independent bloodline tribe, that the era of the group of leaders seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and he needed a new system to manage the growing population. On a starry night, Ao Han looked at the brightest star in the sky in a daze, he believed that the dead kind person would turn into a star in the sky and live forever, he suddenly remembered a few years ago, the old patriarch said to him on his deathbed at the last time he seemed to understand something. That sentence does not treat anyone by bloodline and origin, everyone should be born equal, no noble and lowly, only good and evil, what kind of change should the Damon clan make? To establish a country that can be tolerant and equal to people, Ao Han's heart woke up violently, at that moment he really understood what the old patriarch's long-cherished wish in his life was, looking at the star, Ao Han moistened his eyes and smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Two years later, on the west bank of the Shengya River, the world's first country "Shengya Country", which contained hundreds of tribes extending from north to south and covering an area of about three river valleys and plains, was established, with the capital in the middle of the "Damon City", and Ao Hangui was the king of a country. Two years later, Yeats borrowed from Aohan's practice to form the state of Xie Ning, which was dominated by Arlan people, in the north, and set up the "Su Ye City" in the northeast of Xie Ning Mountain, and Yeats proclaimed himself the Emperor Xuanwu. The drought turned a large area northwest of the Xie Ning Mountains into a desert, and the world's largest desert, the Gobi Desert, was formed in the north. Later, more and more people began to build their own kingdoms by dividing the land and walls, and the world entered a new pattern in this period, and people divided this period into the "Middle Era" in history.

Ten years later, the internal contradictions of the Shengya Kingdom gradually intensified, and Ao Han, who was already sixty-eight high-ranking leaders, began to compile a code in order to regulate the behavior of the people. Two years later, the Holy Code was written, in which a series of behaviors and laws such as life and murder, plunder, theft, adultery, and the rule of the royal army were stipulated and restricted, the last of which was written by Ao Han in order to prohibit future generations from waging war, and the content was as follows: All people from foreign city-states are not allowed to bring weapons into the kingdom of Shengya, the army of Shengya is not allowed to conquer any country or region for any reason, and swords, guns, axes and axes that can hurt people are not allowed to go out on a large scale. The future world is peaceful and tranquil in the eyes of Ao Han, and the future Shengya country should help small countries develop together as a leader in the future.

After the compilation of the Holy Codex was completed, Ao Han specially invited the great wizard Ma Jiu to come and watch. Ao Han, who has passed the age of six, still has a slight generation gap in the face of Ma Jiu, who has not changed in the past fifty years, and Ao Han said to Ma Jiu with a wry smile: "I am already an old man, and you are still so high-spirited." Come and see that this is the legal code of our holy kingdom, and as my best friend, I invite you to write a sentence on it, whatever you want, and it will be preserved forever in this splendid palace. ”

Ma Jiu opened the thick code with a smile, he admired very much that the French in it could be fine to daily trivialities, when he looked at the last law written to prohibit war, his expression became solemn, but he regained his smile in a blink of an eye, he looked up and smiled at the great man in front of him who had made outstanding achievements in his life, no one knew what he was thinking at that moment. He scribbled a sentence on the last page of the Holy Codex in the Black Congshan Witch Language, and then Ma Jiu folded his hands and read it out. Ao Han didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and asked, "What do you mean by writing this?"

Ma Jiu also smiled, "It's nothing but a blessing to you, 'May good luck always accompany this holy monarch'." Ao Han bent over and smiled knowingly, and the wrinkles on his face were full of the hardships of the years.

The next day, on the high-rise walls of Damon City, Ao Han announced to all the generals, soldiers, and civilians in the city that the code would come into force on the same day, and that anyone must comply with the provisions of the code or face the corresponding punishment. The Holy Law was placed in the temple of the Holy Grace Kingdom, and the actions of all people were bound by the law, and the Holy Grace Kingdom changed from a kingdom ruled by men to a country governed by the rule of law to a certain extent.

A year later, on a midsummer afternoon, the sun set in the western sky, and the face rose and refused to set. The twilight sun shone on the surface of the Saint-Ja River, and the fish jumped out of the water to cause ripples. Ao Han stood alone on the bank of the Shengya River with a smile and enjoyed the scenery along the river, the trees were lush and green, insects and birds echoed all the time, and a thriving scenery made people forget to leave. For more than 50 years, he had been to this place that had broken his heart countless times, and every time he came to see the stone statue, he remembered it all as if it were yesterday. Qiu Li still stood there with his arms smiling, whenever Ao Han encountered any troubles and difficult problems to solve, he came here to confide in Qiu Li's stone statue, Qiu Li's laughter would always make him regain his courage to overcome obstacles. Ao Han has never loved the second person in his life, and he has relied on the bits and pieces of memories he once had with Qiu Li to support the rest of his life after Qiu Li left.

Looking at the huge sunset, he seemed to see Qiu Li on the horizon beckoning to him, every time this tough guy on the battlefield would smile and cry, he would wonder if he was not ready to meet her, what to say when he saw her, whether it would be extremely embarrassing, whether she had found a new support in another world after so many years, he would always be afraid and longing for this matter. If there is an afterlife, I will marry you, what a beautiful and weak vow, but unfortunately the years are long, and everything in the past can never come back.

Three years later, he finally waited for that moment, Ao Han passed away quietly with a smile on the hospital bed, and countless people came to mourn the true hero of Rong Ma's life. When Yeats, an elderly man in the North, heard the news of Ao Han's death, he burst into tears. According to Ao Han's wish before his death, the royal family of Shengya Kingdom did not send him to the Damon cemetery in the river valley plain for burial, but buried him next to Shengyahe Qiuli. They built an ancestral palace-like palace by the Shengya River, and the craftsmen completed the embracing stone statue with the body of Ao Han's stone statue, and the stone statue of Ao Han and Qiu Li embracing each other was erected in the hall. On the day of farewell to Ao Han, Ma Jiu also came, looking at the stone statue in front of him, Ma Jiu did not shed tears, but he also had the same heartache. From then on, every year at this time, the people on both sides of the Shengya River would come on time to pay their respects to these two heroes who had saved them from fire and water.

On the seventh day of the burial of Ao Han, something strange happened on the night, and the holy code in the temple was suddenly burned by flames, and the holy code gradually floated with golden light in the flames, and all the words in the code shone with golden light. The flame that symbolizes the prosperity of the Daimon people for generations was ignited from the legal code after Ao Han's death, and the holy flame was infused with Ao Han's soul, and the light of the Flame Holy Code rushed from the book to the sky and then turned into a light screen to surround the entire Holy Ya Kingdom, the holy screen was covered with legal provisions, and the flames were lit from time to time from the words, and the holy screen came from the legal provisions of the Holy Code that prohibited war. From now on, visitors from outside the Holy Code will be automatically blocked by the Holy Screen when they enter the Holy Grace Country, everything stipulated in the Holy Code is driven by divine power, and anyone who violates the content of the Code will automatically receive the corresponding punishment, the murderer will lose his life in one second after the crime, and the thief will automatically teleport to the prison, which means that no one dares to do anything bad in the Holy Grace Country. This divine power from the Holy Code has made this kingdom truly a sacred place that everyone yearns for, and it does allow people to live in peace and happiness in times of peace, but no one thought that the war in the outside world would completely change the nature of the Holy Law in a thousand years.

Three hundred years later, a violent earthquake occurred in the middle of the north and south of the earth, and a large rift valley that ran through the east and west appeared in the earthquake, and the underground castle prison where the Evil Flame Emperor and the Black Horse Cavalry were imprisoned also disappeared wonderfully. The Great Rift Valley is filled with a poisonous fog, and no one dares to step into this valley that is even more dangerous than the abyss, and humans have named it "Chaos Valley". Since then, the Valley of Chaos has separated the north and south of the earth, making the north and the south completely separate into two worlds. Seven hundred years later, the long Middle Era in human history came to an end in the flames of war and smoke, and the world entered a new era - the world war period.

Thousands of years later, the "World War Period" has plunged human civilization into an abyss, and the flames of war and yellow sand have wantonly swallowed the land of dawn, but the nightmare is quietly beginning with other things that gradually infiltrate this world
