Chapter 11: The Legend
This unusually brutal battle for the defense of Kyoto ended in a defeat for both sides. In the end, the army of ghouls did not resist the ferocious impact of the people of the Southern Courtyard, and the seventh generation of the Shi family, Quartz, his two sons, Shi Liulong and Shi Jiumen, died at the same time, and the demon god was sealed again, which can be regarded as a rout. And here in the South Courtyard, it is not a victory. After this war, the Li family has been sharply reduced from the original population of more than 30,000 to more than 2,000, completely lost the dominance of the Dongduo Dynasty, and directly withdrew from the historical stage, and has not recovered to one-tenth of its previous strength until now.
After the fall of the two families, the other three families rose one after another, and after a period of chaos, Shi Changqing, the ninth generation of the Shi family, came forward and convened an important meeting in Kyoto, which was the Kyoto Conference, which led to the formation of the republican system.
There were more than a dozen clans attending the meeting, but only five tribes really had the right to speak: the Shinto clan represented by the Dong family, the Tiandao clan represented by the Mai family, the humane clan represented by the Qu family, the ghost dao clan represented by the Shi family, and the demon dao clan represented by the Li family. Eventually, the five clans came together to form a constitution and form the Dondoran Republic.
Although the five clans were nominally in power, the Southern Court and the North Court did not have much political power, so Shangshi Changqing reconciled with Li Shuguang, the head of the Li family at the time, and the two families secretly formed a secret organization, the Demon God Academy.
Their original intention was to consolidate their political position so that they would not be squeezed out of the political arena. But the subsequent development was beyond their expectations. Due to the outbreak of the war, the elites of the two families were basically depleted, and although they supported each other, they eventually had to withdraw from the stage of history, but the Demon God Temple was preserved and developed. By 500 years ago, they had developed into an extremely large organization, with tentacles all over the world, and the composition of the members had changed from the original two families to the way of absorbing other families with the two families as the center. Its nature has also changed, and it has become a mysterious organization that studies mysterious powers and gathers secret information.
People's fear of it is entirely due to two reasons, one is their research on the original virus, and the other is the doomsday weapon they have created.
The power of the primitive virus, people have already experienced. More than 200 years ago, due to a mismanagement error, a mutant of a primordial virus was taken out of the secret treasury of the Demon God Temple. And it was resold to the Central Plains, which led to a large-scale infection, which reduced the world's population by two-thirds at that time, and if it weren't for the Demon God Academy's final development of antibiotics, human beings may no longer exist. To this day, warnings about the original virus are still everywhere, and everyone talks about it.
No one has ever seen a weapon of doom, and it is precisely because no one has seen it that the legend is even more terrifying. There are two legends about it, one recorded in the history of wars on the Kyushu continent, and the other is rumored.
This story, recorded in the History of War, took place four hundred years ago. At that time, the Xiling people were unifying the Central Plains. In order to obtain the outer coral island of the Dondorians, the Xiling people sent a fleet of 600 men to occupy the island. At that time, the Dongduo people had already achieved unification, and they naturally could not tolerate the invasion of foreign enemies, but in order to avoid a full-scale war with the Xiling people, the rulers decided not to send troops first, and in order to give the world a little color, let the Xiling people know that they were afraid, so they used this weapon.
How this weapon was used, how the war was fought, no one knew, not only the locals, but also the rulers of Tondor. The most important thing is that the Xiling people have been completely wiped out, not only the Xiling people, but also the coral island they occupied. This is documented, and the legend that there is no evidence is even more outrageous.
Polar people have always been known as snow demons, and there are still a few sayings that have been circulated: demons who crawl out of the snow, demons who fall into hell. They cut the soul with a knife that had skinned a man, and threw him into a copper dome to boil .......
This shows how ferocious the Polar Men were, but unfortunately, they encountered the Dondorites. It is said that it was when the polar people were at their strongest.
The living conditions of the polar people are extremely harsh, which is one of the reasons why they chose to go south this time. However, they chose the wrong route, and the first opponent they encountered on this route was the Dondorites, which was obviously extremely unfortunate.
As soon as the war between the two sides began, it entered a white-hot situation, hand-to-hand combat, fighting from morning to evening, rows of corpses fell, but no one could move forward. This went on for three days. On the fourth day, the polar people ushered in a turning point. - Their allies, the Giant Tribe, have decided to fight alongside them, and have gone to war.
This was undoubtedly bad news for the Dondorians, and at this critical moment, the Doomsday Weapon appeared again. Again, no one knows what it looks like or how it works, but the effect is obvious.
On the night of the meeting of the Polar Men and the Giants, the entire camp of more than 10,000 people, along with the turf there, the surrounding trees, etc., disappeared silently, like a painting torn from it, and until now, the barren land and the severed hills around it can still be seen.
At the time, however, people attributed it to miracles and believed that it was God's favor for the Dondorians. It wasn't until some information was declassified that these unknown things were gradually made public, and people really began to understand the Demon God Courtyard and their horrors.
The core organization of the Demon God Academy, all the boys in the Shi family and the Li family, were branded as the Demon God Academy from the moment they were born, and at the right time, they began to receive extremely strict training. Li Youlan and Ba Niu are naturally no exception, which is why Li Youlan is a late learner, but he directly surpassed Lin Shidong. Ba Niu, on the other hand, is an exception.
He met his mentor Nam Taehyun very early on, and learned superior martial arts from him, so the people of the Demon God Academy did not interfere with him anymore. So he has always known very little about the things in the organization.
Li Youlan came to Kyoto this time, and the first person he saw was the author of the song "New Goose Over the Makeup Building", Li Yuanfang.
"My brother is talented, and his heart is even more different, he is really a model for my generation." Li Youlan said deliberately contrived.
"Burn less of the kang that doesn't sleep"! Li Yuanfang didn't appreciate it, and said half-jokingly: "If you ask someone to talk about people, if you ask for ghosts, you will talk nonsense, and it's useless to go around the bend and pat yourself on the back."
When Li Youlan heard him say this, he couldn't help but laugh too: "Brother, your straightforward personality is really not very good, is it the same when talking to your sister-in-law?"
Li Yuanfang laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "It's not just your sister-in-law, but you also talk tactfully with others, just because you don't usually come, there is no good thing to come, so you have to close the door first, and then take the key and open it slowly."
Both of them burst out laughing at the same time.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two of them gradually got to the point.
"Last time you came, it was to eliminate the pressure of public opinion, and this time, what are you here for?"
"Of course it's for this war", Li Youlan shook his head helplessly: "The so-called nest has no eggs, once Dongduo is in danger, how can you and I not be affected"?
"Even if we were to be affected, we could neither participate in politics nor go to war, what else could we do?" Li Yuanfang was telling the truth, and at the same time, he also had the intention of testing him.
"Naturally, there is a way", Li Youlan deliberately sold a pass, looked at him with a smile, and said: "It's just that I still need your help."
"Then it depends on what it is", Li Yuanfang fell into his trap, and he would never agree easily until he was sure what it was.
"I want to see someone".
"Who"?
"Shi Bixia"!
"This ......, but it's difficult"! Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Another person, maybe it's still possible."
"There is no point in changing people", Li Youlan said solemnly.
"She has to be"?
"She has to be"!
……
"Three days later, if she doesn't arrive at dusk, you can go back to your countryside to farm."
