In April, the spring rain continued.

Traveling in a royal boat, there are occasional shepherd boy flutes, woodcutters singing at night, mountain songs, but also leisurely journeys.

In the early morning, Zhang Fan looked at the city wall in the distance, which was more than a hundred blades high, and it was more majestic than when he was on the sea snake boat.

It's just that if he goes further, it is the edge of the defense array of the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and he is no longer allowed to fly with his imperial weapon, so he has to fall on the official road.

This place is already one of the four gates left by the great array of the national capital of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Fan is not the only monk who came to the national capital, and sometimes other monks fall on Zhang Fan's side, which also makes Zhang Fan feel lonely.

The sky is slightly bright, bathed in the cool morning dew, and I move forward, in the direction of the gate of the capital. From time to time, there are family carriages coming from the direction of the city gate, and at first I don't realize it, the further I go, the more people there are at the city gate, and they bring their families and carry sacrifices.

Zhang Fan then remembered that today was the Qingming Festival, no wonder so many people brought their wives and children and carried sacrifices forward. Not far away, on the hill rested their loved ones.

After two or three miles, the crowd gradually increased, but when they went out of the capital, they would come to both sides of the city gate, where there stood countless stone monuments of different sizes, which stretched along the city wall, gradually reaching out of sight, endlessly.

And every time a pedestrian goes out of the city gate, they will go to a stone monument without sacrifices, put down their offerings, and kneel down to give a salute and worship, so that they will continue to move forward, or by car, or by bicycle, or walking, but no one will pass through the stele forest and leave directly.

Zhang Fan walked to the stele forest, looked at the stone stele that stretched along the city wall without end, stretched out his hand to hold a middle-aged man who was walking alone, dressed as a peasant in his thirties, and asked: "May I ask my brother, where is this stele forest, why do you go out of the city to worship first?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Fan and saw that he was dressed in tattered clothes, his hair was just a wooden hairpin, and his feet were barefoot without shoes and socks, but although he seemed to have traveled from afar, his clothes were clean, not like ordinary people, so he replied: "Brother should have been in a small place, then you should not know the origin of this matter, come and come, let's come to the side, I will tell you in detail." After speaking, he led Zhang Fan to a resting place on the side of the road, and he will come from the original carefully.

The middle-aged man said: "This matter is said to have been 3,000 years, I heard that it was from 3,000 years ago when the capital was breached, when the royal family and a large number of soldiers died in battle, there were many people who sacrificed for the beast clan, in order to worship these heroic martyrs, the court argued endlessly, and finally His Majesty was reigning at that time, and decided to engrave a monument outside the city wall to commemorate, all the people who died during the siege of the beast clan." ”

"This matter has been decided so far, and in the future, every person who has made a major contribution to the country, or a soldier who died in the battle with the beast clan, will also leave a monument here for commemoration."

Zhang Fan heard this and said: "Listen to my brother's words, the government does not force the sacrifice of the soldiers." ”

The middle-aged man heard Zhang Fan's question, and continued: "I don't know the reason for this, but I have heard about it roughly. It is said that after His Majesty passed away, he left a message for His Majesty, the son who succeeded to the throne, saying that when he was in power, he did not build an imperial mausoleum for himself, and he was not allowed to build an imperial mausoleum for himself after his death. He also issued an edict to let His Majesty govern after his death, cremate himself, and scatter his ashes in front of the tombstone outside the city, because he said that he was not a good emperor, and he was ashamed of these soldiers and people who sacrificed for the country. ”

"Then His Majesty decreed that his Majesty would be cremated in accordance with his father's edict and his ashes scattered in front of the stone tablet. Before he died, he realized that his deeds in the 30 years of his reign were not as good as his father's, and he issued an edict to his son, and his posthumous affairs were handled in accordance with the affairs of the emperor's posthumous death. After 3,000 years, there was no emperor in our Qin Dynasty who could enjoy the rest of the imperial tomb. ”

"At this point, the children of the royal family can only come to the stone tablet outside the city when they worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival." After speaking, he pointed to the city gate and said, "Look, the royal chariots and horses." ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he knew the origin of the stele forest, but he also saw that the man in front of him dressed as an ordinary farmer should not be an ordinary person.

Zhang Fan looked at the door of the royal family, then looked at the man and said, "I don't know what Brother Tai is called." ”

When the man heard Zhang Fan's question, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Meeting is fate, why do you need to ask the name?" Then he got up and walked away from the city gate.

Zhang Fan didn't dwell on this when he saw this, he also gave his hand, and he didn't stay when he saw the man leaving, but Zhang Fan still released his divine sense to glance at the man, but he didn't find anything strange, so he turned around and looked at the royal convoy.

The royal convoy went out of the city gate to the right, Zhang Fan watched the convoy turn around and continue to travel far, gradually moving away, Zhang Fan did not stop to go to the stele forest on the left side of the city gate.

Since you have come to the Forest of Steles, you naturally need to take a look.

The majestic stone monuments, the vigorous inscriptions, and the numerous names tell the scars of history, which are the monuments of the human race, one by one, one by one, and there is no end in sight.

Zhang Honglie, ranked as the ninth duke, the official to the Marquis of Pingyang, on the day of winter, when the Marquis of Pingyang, who was recuperating in the capital, led his family to go into battle with His Majesty to kill the enemy, resist ten times the enemy on the city wall, kill hundreds of enemies, and finally died on the city wall due to the recurrence of his injuries.

Zhou Xing, the leader of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, on the cold winter day, died in the city with the Pingyang Hou, and when he cleaned the battlefield, he still had the throat bone of the beast clan in his mouth, killing eight enemies.

When Zhang Fan saw this, he no longer looked at the introductions of the dozens of people below, and walked to the stone tablet below.

In 158 of the Qin calendar, the beast flying army attacked the grain road between Jialing Pass and the capital, resulting in the destruction of the grain road in the mountainous area, and one hundred and five people in Zengjia Village were ordered to repair the grain road.

Record his name for future generations to mourn. Zeng Yi, Zeng Qing, Zeng Wen...

There are many names under it, one hundred and five people, and their names are Zeng.

Zhang Fan walked along the stele forest and looked at the inscription carefully.

The stele is heroic and martyrdom, and the name is bloody.

After seeing dozens of stone tablets and walking hundreds of steps, Zhang Fan finally stopped, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the city gate.

The Qin Dynasty was established for more than 3,000 years, and it was really killed from the flames of war, almost every year there are wars, and there are monuments erected every year, which is a song of blood and fire.

Don't read the words of Hongchen Boudoir, throw your head and spill blood to Guancheng.

The desert yellow sand smoke rises, and he forgets his life and forgets his death.

----

After writing a poem, Zhang Fan entered the city gate, and after a search by the soldiers, he walked into the city.

It's just that at this moment, a wave of aura fluctuations came from the stele forest on the right, and then spell fluctuations appeared.

Zhang Fan was startled, and the figure that was entering the city gate was stunned, and then he hurried towards the stele forest on the right, where the royal convoy was traveling.

Zhang Fan was just about to get up and go into the air, just flew up, and suddenly a spiritual pressure pressed down, Zhang Fan immediately knew that it was not good, and then he used his luck to perform the art of refining the body, and then he landed with a snap, and his feet were deeply inserted into the ground.

Without waiting to stand firm, Zhang Fan exerted his strength again, performed the art of refining the body, ran forward, and stepped on a line of deep footprints on the ground.

Not far from the city wall, dozens of gray wolves who tore off their clothes at the stele forest stormed the royal convoy.

The gray wolf has a human face, and when it tears off its clothes, it becomes a wolf's mouth, and the form at this time is that the gray werewolves stand up, release spells, and command magic weapons.

The royal guards now form a circle by the carriage, forming a defensive formation to resist the attacks of dozens of gray wolves.

Zhang Fan approached, seeing that the situation was not dangerous, although most of the gray wolves were monks in the foundation building period, but the royal guards were not simple, and there was no situation where one side fell, Zhang Fan was relieved a lot, and then Zhang Fan turned around and walked to a stele forest, hiding his figure and observing carefully.

Since the two sides were evenly matched, Zhang Fan was reluctant to rush into the formation and be attacked by dozens of gray wolves at the same time.

It's just that getting acquainted with the royal family has a lot of benefits for him to enter the library of the capital, and if it is feasible, Zhang Fan is still willing to help the royal family once.

At this moment, the gray wolf suddenly divided into two groups, one group rushed directly to the carriage at the defensive circle, climbed into the carriage and fought with the nearby guards, and the gray wolf in the distance continued to attack with magic weapons.

It's just that they can't attack for a long time, and the gray wolf clan seems to be in a hurry. Suddenly, a wolf howl sounded from the back of the team, and then a majestic spiritual pressure came out from a gray wolf.

Zhang Fan was taken aback, the gray wolf of the Jindan period. The Jindan period is much stronger than the peak of the foundation building period, and with only one magic weapon, it is not something that ordinary foundation building period monks can resist.

Zhang Fan pondered for a moment and slowly stepped back.

At this moment, two spiritual pressures came out from the Imperial Clan's defense circle, and then two figures jumped into the carriage from the Imperial Clan's defense circle and looked at the Sea Clan's Jindan stage gray wolf.

At this point, Zhang Fan was relieved, two to one, this business can be done.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan took out the bamboo branch sword, stretched out his hand a little, and the bamboo branch sword turned into seven or eight feet of green bamboo, shooting directly at the nearest gray wolf fighting with the guards on the carriage.

The sword moves, the bamboo appears, and the wolf's head flies.

The guard opposite the gray wolf was startled, and one of the two gray wolves against him had his wolf head cut off, and at this time, the bamboo branch sword turned and shot straight at the other gray wolf.

Since he decided to make a move, Zhang Fan no longer hid. Walk behind the bamboo branch sword and kill the other gray wolf.

I saw that he ran the "Forging Bone Decision" all over his body, his body suddenly swelled in a circle, and he was covered in a golden color, ran to the side of the gray wolf who was fighting with the guards, and smashed the gray wolf's head with a punch, and at this time, the bamboo branch sword had also flown in, killing directly to the gray wolf's abdomen.

The two Jindan monks on the carriage saw Zhang Fan come out and were about to do it, but when they saw that Zhang Fan was killing the gray wolf, they were relieved and continued to look at the gray wolf of the Jindan period on the gray wolf's side.

At this time, in the first order of the foundation building period, the gray wolf had the advantage, and there had been a situation where two or three gray wolves played against one guard.

And in the first order of the Jindan period, the Terrans have the advantage, and the two Terrans are facing a gray wolf in the Jindan period.

Zhang Fan's addition only kills a gray wolf, which may reverse the situation in the foundation building period and fall to the side of the human race.

At this time, Zhang Fan's right fist smashed into the gray wolf who was fighting against the guard, and the bamboo branch sword also shot into the gray wolf's abdomen, and the guard also held a long knife and cut the gray wolf's legs.

Seeing this, the gray wolf stepped on the guard's long knife, waved his right paw, grabbed the bamboo branch sword, and stretched out his left arm to grab Zhang Fan's face door with his long arm.

Zhang Fan snorted lightly, took a step forward, raised his left hand slightly, dragged the wolf's claw, and his right fist remained unchanged, directly hitting the gray wolf's head, directly smashing the gray wolf's head, the gray wolf's body was weak, and slowly fell down.

Zhang Fan waved his left hand, and then put away the gray wolf corpse, at this time Zhang Fan had experienced poverty, and finally wanted to make some money, this gray wolf could also be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones.
