Chapter 143: The Legend of Yi Shui

"It turns out that the legends are all true." Jing Chuwei was extremely surprised, and suddenly remembered that she had seen in the classics of the Western Regions Geography that in addition to a few small countries on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, a fairly famous sect was also born-Tianshan School

This sect, which is being besieged and attacked by a group of heroes in the Central Plains, is really on top of the snowy region of the Tianshan Mountains? So 'Glacier Heavenly Maiden', 'Tianshan Tong Ma'...... Those ruthless characters who made the countries of the Western Regions and all factions in the Central Plains tremble when they heard it, and they also lived on the top of the Tianshan Mountains?

Jing Chuwei's heart couldn't help but have many questions.

Legend has it that the earliest source of the Tien Shan sect was a princess from the Kraddy dynasty (Nepal).

Later, Kusha, the brother of King Ganak, led a large army to attack Nepal and became the new ruler, establishing the Richardy dynasty.

And the Nepalese princess, because of the war, avoided the misfortune of the Tianshan Mountains, but she was ambitious and wanted to restore the country.

Relying on a large amount of treasures left by the Crady Dynasty, she led the remnants of her people to travel to the Central Plains many times in the past 20 years, spent a lot of money to collect various martial arts in the Central Plains, and hired many Han masters in the Central Plains, as well as many local strange people in the Tianshan Mountains, forming a paramilitary force that cannot be ignored, and finally founded the Tianshan faction.

Because of her location in the snowy mountains and the special status of the eldest princess, she is also called by her subordinates: the Glacier Heavenly Maiden

Different from the traditional martial arts sect, the Tianshan faction is more like a local wealthy clan than a general Jianghu sect.

That is, the so-called wealthy people in the Central Plains, they have cities, land, markets, and private soldiers, and the Tianshan Mountains are all under their control.

And whether the income of their territory is freely distributed or handed over according to the rate depends on the relationship between the contemporary suzerainty and the lord of the state.

The Tianshan faction adopted the "two-master system" - that is, one suzerain served as a foreign minister, and one suzerain stayed behind in the Tianshan Mountains.

As the suzerain of foreign affairs, his name is Grandma Tong.

Tianshan Tong holds the power of life and death, and is also the only god of Tianshan, very few people have seen her face, and most people have only heard this terrifying name from bloody stories of rivers and lakes.

And those who stayed behind in the Tianshan Mountains were naturally the Glacier Celestial Maiden, whose status was equal to that of the Holy Maiden of Mingjiao, the priestess of Miaojiang, the witch of Hispaniola, and the holy envoy of the Greek Temple.......

Nominally, the Glacier Celestial Maiden is the supreme leader of the Tianshan faction and the symbol of the Tianshan Mountains.

In fact, Grandma Tong controls all the power in the affairs of the Tianshan Sect, and in this generation of Heavenly Maiden, she is more like the mascot of the sect than the sect master.

The main building of the Tianshan school is also divided into two parts: north and south.

The ethereal peak in the south is in charge of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Tiannan Peak in the north is dominated by the glacier goddess, which is divided by the rift where two thousand-year-old glaciers converge.

"Legend has it that the Ethereal Peak is a snowy mountain all year round, not only the snow is thick and thick, but also foggy, and there is no way to see the face of the mountain for most of the year, so it is called the Ethereal Peak." Jing Chuwei said eloquently: "There is a vulture palace in the Ethereal Peak, and Grandma Tong lives here, receiving various factions, envoys from the Western Regions, and powerful people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Scholefan nodded and said, "Yes, when I was a child, I once followed the elders of my family on a pilgrimage to the Ethereal Peak, and offered the head of the Tianshan Snowman as a gift. ”

After a pause and clearing her throat, Jing Chuwei continued: "And the Tiannan Peak in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a palace built in the style of Nepal's 'Narayanhiti Palace', called the Ice Palace. Why is it called the Ice Palace? Because those houses are made of crystal, marble, crystal salt or ice, under the reflection of the sunset, only to feel the dazzling color, shining light, the end of the rare wonder in the world, better than the legendary Beique Zhu Palace. This is also the reason why the Tianshan Sect has served as the great suzerain, and is also called the 'Glacier Heavenly Maiden' by the countries of the Western Regions. ”

At the mention of that name, even Scholefan fell silent, and in a respectful tone, he said in surprise: "Girl, have you also heard the legend of the 'Glacier Heavenly Maiden' that has been passed down in the Western Regions for a generation?" What else does the girl know? ”

Jing Chuwei nodded silently, and her eyes showed a hint of awe: "How could you not have heard of it?" Although the Tianshan Mountains are thousands of miles west of Zisai, the caravans coming and going on the Silk Road still bring many amazing legends about the glacier goddessβ€”β€”"

Speaking of this, Scholefan couldn't help but shake his head and muttered: "The legend of the Ice Palace...... I heard about it when I was a child, but I never saw it, so I didn't take it seriously. ”

Jing Chuwei was taken aback, but didn't ask anything, but continued: "According to legend, there are many springs in the Ice Palace, and they are all cold springs in the Snow Mountain. The other is suitable for watering ice grapes, it is said that this ice grapes are sweet but not greasy, the flesh is thick and juicy, and it is the best quality for making grape wine, so the grapes of the Tianshan Ice Palace are also the best in the Western Regions. ”

"This is true, Tianshan Tong, every year ice grapes are used as an important tribute, and special people are sent to transport them to the lords of the countries of the Western Regions and the forces that are good friends." Schole smiled slightly, for some reason, talking about these hometown events tonight, but he didn't like to talk - there were more chatterboxes, but seeing him looking at the background of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he whispered: "When I was a child, I heard about many legends about the glacier goddess and the rare treasures hidden in the ice palace, but I have never seen it; Later, my friends and I prepared dry food and water, and prepared to go to Tiannan Peak together to find the treasure of the Ice Palace. ”

"Treasure?" Over the years, Jing Chuwei has heard some legends of treasures hidden in the Ice Palace from the merchants who have come and gone from the Western Regions intermittently, but the versions are all different and very different.

And Jing Chuwei's favorite version is that there are thousands of volumes of martial arts cheats and countless divine weapons hidden in the Ice Palace, including those left by his ancestor Jing Ke

- The Assassin's Legacy

There is also that one, the peerless divine soldier who assassinated Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng - Mrs. Xu's dagger

It is recorded in the "Historical Records: Biography of the Assassins" that Prince Yan Dan made Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin, pre-begged for the dagger of the world, got the dagger of Mrs. Xu of Zhao, took 100 gold, and made the work quenched with medicine, to test people, and the blood was wet, and everyone was dead.

On the side, Schole looked into the distance, in the blue pupils, his eyes were so gray and unbright, just like his memory, he had never told anyone about the past of the Tianshan Mountains covered with heavy ice and snow...........
