Chapter 495: The Truth Revealed
"Regarding the undead, we have to go back to the barbarian infighting more than five thousand years ago, when my Taizu had just unified the barbarian tribes, but the general situation was not stable, there were always people who were ambitious to spy on the royal power, and one of themββ"
"Let me guess, his name is Chiyou, right?" Yan Yunting interrupted Shang He's words.
Shang He frowned, "Do you know Chiyou? β
Yan Yunting nodded: "I probably know something, and I also know that the undead are related to Chiyou blood." β
Shang He was silent for a while, and asked softly, "Are you from the human world?" β
Yan Yunting smiled lightly: "Brother-in-law is a smart person, it's not strange to guess anything." β
Shang He continued:
"There are two Dharma protectors on the left and right beside my Taizu, one of whom is Chiyou and the other is Shennong; In order to usurp the throne, he did not hesitate to practice evil witchcraft, refining his body that was originally invulnerable to poison into a body of poison;
He encircled the Kuafu of the Giant Clan, all kinds of demons in the wilderness, and cultivated a group of undead legions with his own poisonous blood, in a vain attempt to seize the throne from my Taizu;
Taizu united all the tribes of the barbarian domain to carry Chiyou together, and this battle for royal power lasted for a hundred years, and finally Taizu with the help of Ying Long, severely damaged Chiyou and his generals;
Chiyou was defeated and fled to the world, Taizu ordered the right protector Shennong to chase and kill, and since then there has been no news of them;
The undead are the remnants of Chiyou, they have the ability to control death, but they will be eaten away by time, in order to decay their bodies, they flee to the depths of the ice field, using the cold to freeze their bodies in order to survive forever;
After a hundred years of war, the barbarian domain has long been devastated, coupled with the cold of the ice field, the whereabouts of the undead are strange, so they did not continue the pursuit;
But who knows, the undead are in the ice field, resurrecting all the dead to form an army of poisonous corpses;
My grandfather, grandfather, grandfather, father, four generations of barbarian kings, have all been at war with the undead, but death's ability to reproduce is so fast that every time the undead are repulsed, and a thousand years later they will come back again; β
At this point, Shang He stared at the head of the Corpse King at his feet, "It's been more than 1,600 years since my father last repelled the undead, and if you hadn't brought it to me tonight, I'd have almost forgotten about them. β
Yan Yunting sighed: "That's because you sit far away in Luodu City, you don't know the suffering of the border tribes, and the weak slave tribe will sacrifice a young woman to the corpse king every month in order not to be harassed by the undead." β
Hearing this, Shang He's brows furrowed very tightly, and after a long time, he got up and sighed: "Since I took over the royal power for more than two hundred years, I have been focusing on internal cultivation of national affairs, but I have neglected the evil enemies on the ice field. β
Yan Yunting pointed to the books on the table and said: "Anbang rejuvenates the people, repairs the national politics internally, and reads "Bang. The Theory of the State is indeed useful, but if you want to defend against foreign enemies, my Guigu's "Theory of Vertical and Horizontal" is a strange book. β
"You're from the Valley of Ghosts on Earth?" Shang He couldn't hide his surprise.
Yan Yunting took out the gall, and the cold light illuminated the hall, he looked up at the sword body, and said proudly: "Heaven and earth are divided into three, the ghost valley is eight wildernesses, the common people are painted, only I am vertical!" β
"It seems that I have recruited a terrible brother-in-law," Shang He stood up slowly, no longer arrogant, but with a sincere gaze, "In my brother-in-law's opinion, how should I resolve this crisis?" β
Yan Yunting said: "Whether it is people or things in the barbarian domain, they are like a shield against the enemy, although they are strong and strong, they are single and rigid, throughout the history of the barbarian domain against the undead for thousands of years, you have always been passive defense, and have never taken the initiative to attack;
You have to believe that there is no shield of absolute defense in this world, on the contrary, there is an absolutely sharp spear, if you are complacent and blindly defensive, sooner or later someone will catch the flaw and be defeated;
Therefore, the advice I give is to turn defense into offense, take the initiative to attack, and completely wipe out the undead. β
Shang He shook his head and said: "It's not that my ancestors haven't attacked, but the ice field is scarce in resources, the environment is harsh, the casualties of the expedition are too great, and the dead soldiers are resurrected again, thus increasing the power of the undead, so we have to be passive." β
Yan Yunting smiled faintly: "That's because your tactics are not good, expeditionary warfare, encounter warfare, interception warfare, and defensive warfare...... There's a lot of learning here;
In our world, there are many peerless wizards who strategize and win thousands of miles, and there are many strange books of the tiger and dragon, and the words are full of strange books, if the brother-in-law can get one person or two, one or two books, the barbarian country will be stable. β
Shang He looked melancholy with a thirst for talent, "But brother-in-law, where can I find a peerless genius?" Where to find the strange book? β
Yan Yunting said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, when you should, naturally I will help you find it, this is my second bride price." β
Shang He looked at Yan Yunting's gaze and became more and more admiring, but sighed lightly: "But I really can't think of what kind of dowry should be paid to you to be worthy of these bride prices you gave...... I don't know the way to restrain the corpse poison you asked earlier. β
Yan Yunting's eyebrows tightened, his face became heavy, didn't he even know the antidote? So what is the significance of them going through thousands of mountains and rivers, from the human world to the barbarian domain?
Could it be true that the bamboo basket is empty?
"I probably do." The white-robed wizard shaman came out of the darkness, he had been standing in the dark, quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and by now, he had also been impressed by Yan Yunting.
Shang He said: "The shaman is my father's figure, he has been guarding the barbarian domain for more than a thousand years, and he is the wise man of the barbarian domain. β
"Your Majesty is false, I just said 'maybe,' not for sure," the shaman paused before he recounted:
"It is rumored that the first barbarian king asked for the help of the dragon in order to kill Chiyou, and fortunately got a 'dragon crystal', which has the power to kill Chiyou, and must have a way to restrain the corpse poison."
It's better to have hope than to have an empty one.
Yan Yunting hurriedly asked, "Do you know where Ying Long is?" Where is the dragon crystal? β
The shaman said: "It is rumored that in the past, the barbarian king had climbed more than a dozen snow-capped mountains to obtain the dragon crystal in order to ask for the help of Ying Long, so I judged that Ying Long probably lived in the deepest part of the Gedandong Mountain Range. β
