Volume 1: Xuanqing Fengyun, the first ramp Chapter 65 The Past
Snow Country's wolf pack tactics are extremely cruel, and after they capture a city, they often drive and control the wolves to slaughter the city. This is faster and more thorough than employing people.
The massacre of Snow Country took place many years ago, and the soldiers did not kill the civilians, but took control of the king's palace and slaughtered the rulers of those countries. After the change of royal power, those commoners also need to pay taxes in order to strengthen the country.
This is often the case in these small border countries, where some countries change hands basically every few decades, making it extremely difficult to stabilize. Returning to the father and son, although these two are not the rulers of Scorpion City, they are at least the successors. This massacre in the palace is mainly a targeted extermination, to clean up the king and all the crown princes of this scorpion country.
After killing a wolf, my father attracted many wolves to begin to gather, and under his wild gallop, he used the terrain of the palace to avoid the hunting of wolves again and again. This also left the child with the only chance to escape, and he ran into the sewers at a rapid speed while the wolves were not looking. With the impact of the water, he ran out of the city.
But the head wolf had long expected his father's conspiracy, and it pretended to pursue, but in fact it was waiting for another person to appear. When it notices it, it immediately turns around and chases it downward.
Although I didn't know what was going on inside, I only heard a scream, and there was no more sound.
And this scream was not made by the child, but by the wolf. Perhaps, he is out of danger.
Now only my father, who was chased by wolves, is still struggling. When he saw that the time was right, he jumped on the roof and prepared to flee. When the soldiers below found out, they raised their bows and shot him, but they couldn't take him.
The wolves also jumped on the roof, and saw a man running on the roof, and more and more wolves were chasing after him. His purpose at this time was the towering beacon tower in front of him.
This is the only chance to escape. He climbed the beacon tower with extremely steady steps, and in order to block the wolves behind him, he blocked the entrance with gravel to buy him more time to escape. The beacon tower is the highest point in the city, and there is an important mechanism on it. Seeing him climb to the top of the platform and pull an iron ring on it, the beacon tower was suddenly surrounded by smoke, and after hearing a muffled sound, the beacon exploded, and a huge sheepskin balloon rose out of thin air, and the man carrying it below also left.
The archers below all shot at the balloon, because the distance was too far for the bow and arrow to reach, and when they flew away, only the soldiers below kept cursing and howling with the wolves.
My father escaped and flew away with the help of the southbound wind, without any purpose. Fortunately, there was a lot of food and water on it, and the man on it did not know how long he had been floating in the sky, and finally stopped in front of a hilltop.
The barrenness of the north, which has been detached, is full of lush greenery, and only a few rocks on the top of the hill make it a little desolate. The man took out the twine and tied the sheepskin balloon to the side, intending to rest there for a few days. After coming down, I saw that there was a hole at the top of the mountain, and there was no way down the mountain, so this place was considered very safe.
Although I don't know if there are still pursuers behind, but in terms of the current situation, even if there are pursuers, I am not afraid, and it is more difficult to climb to the top of this mountain than to climb to the sky. If you hadn't taken a sheepskin balloon, you wouldn't have been able to get up.
After observing the surroundings for a long time, except for a hole at the top of the mountain, there is a stream on the edge of the cliff, and there are many fish in the water. There are mountains and rivers, and it can be regarded as a good place, even if you don't go down the mountain again, you have nothing to regret when you live here.
But there is still a little worry in my heart, that is, I don't know if my son has escaped. Even if they escape, how to find this vast sea of people is also a problem. Moreover, now that the general trend has gone, the country and the army are long gone, and it is difficult to succeed with only their own enthusiasm.
The man planned to live here, and he also thought about it, if he felt bored one day, he could just jump from here, and no one needed to collect the body. As for returning to the country and finding relatives, don't think about these things in this life. After taking out all the supplies in the sheepskin balloon, the man entered the small cave, intending to clean up and make it a shelter from the wind and rain.
This cave seems to have been inhabited by people, although there are rocks scattered on the ground, crushed many clay pots, some bedding and hay, although it is a little old, you can still see some traces of life.
The top of the mountain is already a bit dry, but the temperature is not high, but fortunately, there are some rotten trees and weeds around to keep warm. The men's sheepskin balloon carries a lot of daily utensils, pots and pans, as long as they are properly packed, they can be cooked quickly.
In the past few days, the entrance to the cave has been cleaned inside and out, and the rocks that were originally scattered in the cave have also been cleaned up by him, and they have been piled up to the outside in an orderly manner, which looks like a person's residence.
One day it was raining, and the next day when the rain stopped, the man got up and saw that the stones were piled up with yellow letters written on them. I think it's strange, it's not that living here has disturbed someone, is this a warning to him? However, he immediately dispelled this idea, and he saw that the handwriting on the stones that had been rained was particularly obvious, and there were some stones in the cave that had not been rained, and if he looked closely, he could faintly see some handwriting.
The man was curious, and it took him a few more days to restore the words one by one and spell them out as they were.
It turned out that something had been written on the stone wall of this cave a long time ago, but because of an earthquake or some other reason, the stones on the stone wall fell off, so he saw it as soon as he entered. There are not only words on the stone, but also some patterns, all of which are drawn with simple lines of the human body, and it is impossible to see what it means.
With nothing to do, the man spent several months rearranging and assembling the rubble, and the words on them were hieroglyphs, which the man had often seen when he had been in business with his father earlier. Later, after the kingdom was stabilized, he also invited a gentleman to come and teach for a while, in order to be able to get business contacts with some areas in the hinterland of Middle-earth.
These words, on their own, are naturally familiar to him, but when they are combined, they become obscure. Only the first sentence "no phase scattering gong", and the last sentence "folding plum scattered people rushing to leave a pen", can make people understand at first glance, in addition to some patterns, there are also a lot of rare words, which are even more difficult for men to understand.
At first, the man didn't think there was any mystery in these things, but as he slowly understood the contents in the next few years, he realized the profundity of the secret book on the stone wall.
In the following decades, men practiced diligently day and night, meditating day and night, and only then did they get a glimpse of six or seven successes. And after the final eighth start, it has been stagnant.
This is a kind of practice that uses the material form in nature to practice, people have joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and strange meridians, while this scattered gong does not follow any natural laws, trying to break all kinds of common forms, so as to achieve a state of integration with nature. The previous ones are all about cultivating how to use one's own true qi to regulate pranayama to keep the body in various forms.
For example, water is the second weight, the stone is the third, the poison is the fifth, and when it reaches the eighth level, it is not a concrete form, but a return to the origin, so that you can become a real person again.
After about a few more years, the eighth layer still did not break through, and the man gave up continuing his cultivation. Now he is not a human being, although he can change into various forms at will, but he has no flesh and skin body, and his reproductive function has long been lost, according to what is said on the stone wall, as long as he cultivates to the eighth layer, he can gradually return to the seven emotions and six desires of people.
After the man got this last hope, he couldn't hold back his desire to go out and return to the country, and after cleaning up all the words on the stone wall, he copied a copy of it himself, and went back to look for the child who had been separated at the beginning.
During this period of cultivation, although there was no specific time, there was a record of snow every year, and there were more than thirty times of snow on the top of this mountain, that is, thirty-two years had passed.
In this world, decades have been full of vicissitudes. The man spent several more years searching for his own flesh and bones, but by the time he found him, he was terminally ill and reduced to an ordinary wrangler, living an ordinary life with no fixed place to live and be exploited by others.
Before he died, he gave his only son, who is now the king of the Scorpion Country, and the person who escaped death and learned the skill of non-dispersion was the old ghost called by the king, his own grandfather.
Li Yiming used the method of blood refining, and after gaining insight into his thoughts, he also deeply felt the injustice of the world. also let go of the killing intent, the so-called there is no unreasonable love and hate, the world is confused by the things in front of them, and no one will delve into the historical truth behind it.
Of course, Li Yiming still knows these things, and he only knows the ins and outs in a moment.
He said to the people in front of him, "I already know everything about you, the snow country, the wolves, the cliff adventure, the plum blossom and your grandson. After saying that, he looked at the monarch who had been crouching behind the throne.
The old ghost was surprised at first, then relaxed, and after all that he had been through, he didn't think it would be strange, and said, "We just got back what we were supposed to take." That's all. ”
