Chapter 156: The Land of Cold Desolation

Early the next morning, the ancestor of the Di family sent someone to invite Di Yun to the ancestral hall.

As soon as Di Yun saw him, he wanted to kneel down and salute. Di Ruozhuo hurriedly helped Di Yun up and reproached: "Didn't I say it? In the future, we will be commensurate with each other, so there is no need to salute." ”

Di Yun smiled: "How dare this, my grandfather won't kill me yet." ”

Di Ruo said dumbly: "It's just that you are too rebellious, this kind of thing is the whole wilderness that I encountered." After that, we will talk about each other. ”

After saying that, the two of them burst out laughing.

At this moment, Di Nantian's voice outside sounded: "Ancestor, Xuanqiu Mountain has sent someone. ”

Di Ruo was taken aback, and then said lightly: "You bring him in." ”

Then, Di Ruozhuo walked out with Di Yun and stood at the door to greet him.

After a moment's effort, Di Ruozhuo led a person into the courtyard. I saw that the man was holding a large brocade box in his hand, which was covered with a golden lid.

As soon as this person walked in front of Di Ruozhuo and the others, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Emperor Xuan sat down and the disciple visited the ancestor of the Di family. ”

Di Ruozhuo hurriedly said: "If you don't dare, please get up quickly." ”

This man stood up and said, "Your Majesty Emperor Xuan heard that someone from the Di family has advanced to the second level of immortal, so he sent me to congratulate him. Send a gold medal for entering Xuanqiu Mountain and a Xuanqiu Taoist robe to congratulate!"

Di Yun hurriedly took the thing, and then thanked him.

After the man finished delivering the things, he didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Di Ruozhuo looked at the things in Di Yun's hand, and there was a hint of joy on his face. After returning to the secret room and taking a seat, Di Yun asked, "Ancestor, what is this gold medal in the mountain?"

Di Ruo smiled clumsily: "Di Yun, this is a good thing, in the entire Great Wilderness, there are not more than ten people who hold it. ”

Di Yun picked up the golden token in his hand in surprise, only to see that this token was extremely heavy, with a Xuan character engraved on the front and a Ling character engraved on the back.

Di Yun looked at it for a long time and said, "Is this token a pass to enter Xuanqiu Mountain?"

Di Ruozhuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You are wrong, it is not as simple as a pass. With him, you can mobilize troops and horses at will in this Great Hidden Empire, and drink the heroes. It can be said that the place where this token arrives is like Emperor Xuan coming in person. ”

Di Yun was surprised: "This thing is so valuable, how can Emperor Xuan?"

Di Ruozhuo nodded and said, "I also thought of it, Emperor Xuan did this to win you over." This is for sure, any second immortal, Xuan ** will not let go of the opportunity to win over. But more than that, I think he's investing. ”

Di Yun was stunned and said, "What do you mean by investing?"

Di Ruozhuo pointed at him and said, "Emperor Xuan has taken a fancy to your age. At your age, you have already advanced to the second immortal. Presumably, it is very possible to enter the earth immortal in the future. Emperor Xuan, he must want to win you over to deal with Emperor Ming. But let's not talk about that yet, do you know what I'm looking for you for?"

Di Yun shook his head.

Di Ruozhuo said: "The thoughts in your heart, I know very well, are nothing more than a hurry to avenge your father, and then reunite mother and son. I've told you about this before, but the time has not yet come. Because if you want to deal with Emperor Ming, you must persuade His Majesty Emperor Xuan to send troops. But the stakes are high, and once the two sides go to war, it will inevitably be a matter of life and death. Emperor Xuan, I'm afraid he won't just make a move for us. ”

Di Yun thought for a moment before saying, "That's right. Otherwise, Emperor Xuan and Emperor Ming would not have been at peace for so many years. Emperor Ming will not contact the sea beast clan in a vain attempt to encroach on the East China Sea. ”

Di Ruozhuo nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, we lack an opportunity. But now the opportunity has come. ”

Di Yun's eyes lit up: "The opportunity has come? ”

Di Ruozhuo opened a map from behind the desk, pointed to it and said to Di Yun, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"

Di Yun looked at it intently, nodded and said, "I know, this is Da You." ”

Di Ruozhuo's hand pointed to the north and asked, "What about further north?"

Di Yun saw that the place where Di Ruozhuo's finger fell was the northernmost point of Da You, he was stunned and shook his head.

Di Ruo let out a long sigh and said, "Here, this is the Cold Desolate Country. ”

Di Yun was puzzled: "Cold Desolate Country, why have I never heard of it before. ”

Di Ruo said clumsily: "You haven't heard of it, and it's normal. This cold and desolate country has a harsh climate and is inaccessible to people. But it is also this environment that has created the cold wilderness people. For thousands of years, the war between the Cold Desolation and my Great Ghost has never stopped. ”

"War, why is that?" Diyun was puzzled.

Di Ruozhuo sat back in his seat and spoke to Di Yun in detail.

It turns out that this cold and desolate country has existed for a long time. It's just because of the harsh natural conditions here, so although the cold and desolate clan exists, they are sparsely populated, and it is not enough to compete with the Great You.

But just a thousand years ago, there was a queen in the country of the cold wilderness. Legend has it that this person's cultivation is unfathomable, and what is even more terrifying is that she is also a natural king.

It was under her leadership that the country of cold and desolate was able to develop slowly. Recuperate, develop farming, and gradually prosper.

Although the Queen of the Cold Desolation tried her best, she was ultimately limited by natural conditions, and the people of the Cold Desolation Country lived an extremely difficult life. At this moment, the Queen of the Cold Desolation set her sights on the Great Shadow.

At the beginning, she just sent someone to Da You and asked Da You to give up the northernmost Yanyun Eighteen Prefectures to the Cold Wilderness. The price she paid was that the two countries had been friends for generations.

Emperor Xuan naturally would not agree to such conditions, and when many negotiations were fruitless, the Cold Desolation Country finally began a war against Dayou.

Although the Cold Wilderness Country is barbaric and barren, its people do not have too advanced cultivation. But they can survive in such a harsh environment, and they must have their advantages. That's power.

Their ** strength is extremely strong, an ordinary man in the prime of life** is like an iron stone, and he can tear apart the tiger and leopard with his bare hands. With a little training, he becomes a terrifying warrior of the cold wilderness......

Such a warrior can resist the attack of more than ten ordinary soldiers in Dayou.

Although the wind of cultivation prevails in the great seclusion, after all, it is limited by talent, and it is still relatively small in comparison.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, the two sides have been at war, but not only did the Great You not get a profit, but instead allowed the Cold Desolation Clan to occupy the territory of the three states.

It was not until recent years that the five great families of Dayou put their carefully cultivated troops into the battlefield and slowly regained their disadvantage.

After saying this, Di Yun wondered: "Ancestor, I still don't understand, the opportunity you are talking about is ......"

Di Ruo smiled and said, "As long as you can help Da You recapture these three states and pacify the cold famine." After making great military achievements, at that time, you can use this to ask Emperor Xuan to send troops to Mingshan. I think he will agree. ”

Di Yun was stunned: "But I don't know how to lead soldiers." Besides, if the masters of our five major families come together, I believe that it will not be difficult to level the entire cold wilderness. Why ......"

Di Ruo's smile gradually faded, and he said in a low voice: "In the savage land where the country of cold and desolation is located, there is a kind of sorcerer, and they call themselves shamans. They have laid a curse on the whole of the Savage Lands in a big way. As long as we cultivators set foot in a barbaric land, our own cultivation will not be able to exert one-tenth of it. That's why we're so passive. ”

Di Yun wondered, "Couldn't we break this curse?"

Di Ruo shook his head.

Di Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Then I'll go to join the army, doesn't it mean that my aunt's husband is the general of the Northern Frontier?" ”

Di Ruo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said categorically: "This is a stupid method, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is too late, when will you accumulate military merits." There's a great opportunity right in front of you. ”

After a pause, he looked at Di Yun and said softly, "Every hundred years, our five major families will send the elites of our clans to form a team and go deep into the cold wilderness. Hunt down their shamans and help relieve the pressure on the armies of the northern frontier. Only you become the leader of this team, and then lead them into the cold and famine, and make military achievements. In this way, you can have the right to speak in Xuanqiu Mountain. ”

Di Yun was puzzled: "Ancestor, didn't you say that as soon as you enter the cold wilderness, you will lose your cultivation? Aren't these people sent to death when they go in? Besides, I really don't know how to arrange troops, I'm afraid I will harm them." ”

The ancestor smiled: "The curse of the shaman comes at the cost of their lifespan. A few of us old guys don't have a few years to live, so naturally we can't get in. But you are different, even if you enter it, as long as you burn a very small amount of life, you can keep your cultivation undescended. You are still young, and a few years of vitality are insignificant to you. Besides, I have already sensed that there is a technique in your body that can absorb vitality, and the curse of that wild land is basically nothing more than an ornament to you. As for arranging troops, the Jiang family is the best at it, you just need to coordinate the overall situation and hand over specific things to them. The only difficulty now is how do you get this dominance. You must know that the younger generations of other families are all made in heaven, and they will not be so easily subdued. ”

Di Yun said with a smile: "Since the ancestor said so, it is better for us to win the commander with force, whoever has a hard fist will be the commander." I just don't know if the four of them will agree. ”

Di Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Okay, you kid, this method is good." I don't think any of them can say anything. That's it, I'm going to talk to them. Our Di family is now powerful, and they can't help but disagree. You know, we have two half-immortals, and I don't believe that the four of them dare to disobey us. ”

After speaking, he smiled strangely at Di Yun, and left in a hurry. Looking at the back of him leaving, Di Yun shook his head, secretly saying that he didn't expect that the ancestor would also have a childish time.

In a moment's effort, the ancestors of the five major families gathered together. After listening to Di Ruozhuo's words, the ancestors of the other four families were silent...... (To be continued.) )
