Chapter 987: The Eye of the Heavenly Pupil
The old ghost woman recalled her previous memories and said slowly: "I still remember that the elders of the clan said that when the Beifu soldiers came here, it was still the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the outside world......
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Song of the Northern Wei Dynasty divided the river and ruled, the Northern Wei Dynasty was entrenched in the north of the Yangtze River, and the Northern Dynasty was established with Pingcheng as the capital.
At that time, the barbarians of the Northern Dynasty had occupied the vast territory north of the river after the Wuhu Rebellion, and the city was particularly insufficient, and they not only gained a firm foothold in Jiangbei, but also coveted the land of the Southern Dynasty, whether it was out of the grand narrative of great unification, or simply wanted to run the rich south, the Southern Dynasty must be captured and become the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
And Liu Song, who is located south of the river, is also well aware of this, and is even more urgent than the north, wanting to go north to the homeland.
After all, all the territories of the northern barbarians were the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty back then, and it was only because of the Eight Kings Rebellion that these barbarians had an opportunity to ravage the Central Plains by coercing the Hu people.
Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, do you want to cut down?
Long before the establishment of the Liu Song Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family also had an urgent desire to expedition to the homeland, but the gate lord nobles were not keen on this, these Han nobles who claimed to be the state of etiquette and orthodox civilization were beaten by the Hu people to lose their armor and favor the south of the Yangtze River.
Back then, when the Wuhu was in turmoil, the scorpion people almost regarded the Han people as food, and the cannibalistic legends of two-legged sheep were mostly spread after foreigners bullied the Han people in the Central Plains.
After crossing to the south, most of the bloody gate valves stayed in the north to build high walls and accumulate grain, just to protect the industrial homeland in the north.
In other words, if there is really a bloody Northern Expedition, why follow the royal family to the south, but anyone who can be in the south will abandon their homeland by default.
Such a group of gate valve aristocrats, although they are still loyal to the emperor and are willing to cheer for the Northern Expedition, in fact, they already have an idea in their hearts, they are more willing to live in the south of the Yangtze River, they can wave their flags and shout, and they must not have any actual expression.
In this kind of top-down demoralization, the ministers appeared like a lantern, all of them coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, blowing the Northern Expedition to the sky, and also making the Eastern Jin Dynasty a miasma, in the end, it was just thunder and rain, even if the real sword and gun fought, it was mostly defeated and retreated, without merit.
It can be said that before Liu Yu, the Northern Expedition was mostly thunder and rain, and it was not until Liu Yu's time that they were strong and strong, and they could barely have the ability to protect the river defense line.
In this case, Liu Yu not only maintained the integrity of the Southern Dynasties, but also maintained the dignity of the nobles of the Southern Dynasties, and the perennial military career made Liu Yu's prestige flourishing, and he was successively crowned as a marquis.
In any case, Liu Yu's ascension to the throne at least allowed the nobles of the Southern Dynasty to live without trembling, and his prestige and exploits also made the Northern Wei court feel for the first time that it was difficult to swallow the Southern Dynasty.
Even though the two dynasties of the north and south have not yet fought, the actions behind the scenes have always continued, the Northern Wei people frequently mobilized the defense lines of towns along the north of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, they also reformed government affairs internally, began to reuse Han Chen and Han generals, rewarded Han Hou and Han Gong, and even began to promote the integration of Hu and Han, Xianbei and vulgarity, and reuse Han culture!
Of course, this action is to alleviate the contradiction between Hu and Han, if you understand it at a deeper level, it is also subconsciously announcing to the outside world that after the annexation of the Southern Dynasty, the gate lord clan can continue to live this rich and wealthy aristocratic life, which is equivalent to a disguised promise to the Southern Dynasty gate valve.
Liu Yu sensed the change in the situation and began to plan the Northern Expedition after ascending the throne.
After experiencing this Northern Expedition, Liu Yu realized that it was completely impossible to help the Northern Expedition with slogans and shouts alone, and began to seek other ways, looking for the help of mysterious forces at this time.
Liu Yu learned that there were Yin soldiers in Xiangyang, and began to send warlocks into Shennongjia, these warlocks were the elite of the Southern Dynasty, and in the end, they still found clues, and began to send a large number of Beifu soldiers into the ghost world.
Originally, he just wanted to bury the clothed mound of Beifu into the world of ghosts, but when he heard the introduction of the warlock of the Southern Dynasty, he had a new idea about Shennongjia - although Shennongjia is located north of the river, it is under the control of the Southern Dynasty, and out of Shennongjia is the front line of Xiangyang, if the treacherous mystery of Shennongjia is a labyrinth made by the ghost side.
So, isn't it, you can also use the ghost people to get through Shennongjia, and furthermore, perhaps, you can use the many ancient tunnels of Shennongjia to give the Northern Wei Dynasty a surprise attack.
With this idea, Liu Yu stationed the elite of Beifu into the world of ghosts in the name of building a mound of clothes, and built the urn city and the cantilever hall of Beifu that they saw, which were used to station soldiers and build a mound of clothes.
At the same time, these Beifu soldiers also have another purpose, that is, to train and prepare for war in the Beifu Urn City, as long as Liu Yu finds out the ancient tunnel to open Shennongjia, he can make his plan come true.
Liu Yu understands that if his vision is really realized, then, the recovery of the northern homeland is in sight, and it will definitely no longer be thunder and rain.
It's just that there is such a strategic strategy, but there is no means to implement it, the Beifu soldiers have been in the ghost world for several years, and they have only built urn cities and hanging halls, and they have no way to dig the ancient tunnels left by Shennongjia.
Later, the Beifu soldiers had no choice but to ask the ghost people to help them achieve their goals, in exchange, they could let the ghost people survive here forever, and they would not let outsiders know easily.
The ghost people knew that they could not resist the male soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, so they could only choose to cooperate, and they began to use the Heavenly Pupil to guide these Northern Fu soldiers in the direction, so that they could dig through the ancient tunnels to build grottoes to the outside world.
In order to control the Heavenly Pupil God, they transferred the Heavenly Pupil God to the Beifu Clothed Mound, and even put a strange fish talisman on the giant's Heavenly Pupil, which triggered the punishment of the Heavenly Pupil God.
After the fish talisman was absorbed by the Heavenly Pupil God, the temperament of the Heavenly Pupil God changed greatly, from the previous loving and docile to domineering and ruthless, not only the ghost people, but even the Beifu soldiers could feel that the Heavenly Pupil God was different from before.
This change has had a great impact on the ghost people!
The Heavenly Pupil God was originally the "brain" of the Ghost Fang people, and if something went wrong with him, it meant that there was something wrong with the Ghost Fang people's brains, and all the Ghost Fang people would be affected, and they began to become cunning and aggressive, and gradually fought hostile to the Beifu soldiers, killing all the Beifu soldiers.
The corpses of the Beifu soldiers in the cold and warm caves are the traces left by the ghost people who chased and killed them at the beginning.
After that, although the Ghost Fang people recaptured the Ghost Fang World from the Beifu soldiers, they also paid a great price and had to become the puppets of the Heavenly Pupil God.
Previously, the Ghost Fang people had used the Heavenly Pupil God and had the ability to communicate and cooperate, for them, the Heavenly Pupil God was just a tool that was conducive to the civilization of the race, and the Ghost Fang people were just the main body of the tool, and they still had a high initiative and were completely free.
Now, the status of the ghost people and the Heavenly Pupil God is upside down, and the Heavenly Pupil God has become the actual leader of the Ghost Fang civilization, and the Ghost Fang people have become puppets of the Heavenly Pupil God, and they can only respect the orders of the Heavenly Pupil God and do what the ancient gods ordered.
The Ghost Fang people had also rebelled against the rule of the Heavenly Pupil God, and they also wanted to enter the Northern Mansion and restore the Heavenly Pupil God to normal, but all the actions failed completely.
This failure is not due to a failure of the plan or a chaotic division of labor, but from the point of view that something is wrong.
The ghost people have the common perception ability of the Heavenly Pupil God, and this ability can be regarded as a tool beneficial to the ethnic group when they can make their own decisions, such as today's Pupil God's anti-guest, then this ability to communicate with all individuals has become a shackle against the Ghost Fang people.
No matter what plans the ghost people make, what weapons they prepare, and what strategies they execute, they will be perceived by the Heavenly Pupil God when they are close to the Heavenly Pupil God, and then, the Heavenly Pupil God will initiate a sense and let the Ghost Fang people kill themselves until they completely withdraw from the Beifu Clothed Tomb.
It can be said that since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the temperament of the Heavenly Pupil God has changed drastically, and the ghost people have launched many attacks to seize control, but every time without exception, they have completely failed.
This kind of attempt to break through the enslavement of the Heavenly Pupil God also completely annoyed the Heavenly Pupil God and caused very serious consequences.
The animals in Shennongjia began to alienate into monsters, and even the plants began to have consciousness, releasing various breaths to confuse all living creatures, but all the living beings in Shennongjia were degrading towards the symbiote, forming strange monsters.
Even if these animals seem to be living creatures, as long as they die, plants will immediately grow out of their bodies, forming mycelial flowers and trees, and becoming part of the Heavenly Pupil God's sense of all things.
This change eventually spread to the ghost people, their intelligence and perception continued to deteriorate, and they could no longer produce any ideology, culture, skills and technology, and became primitive people who only knew how to fill their stomachs and reproduce, and the decline of civilization also made it impossible for them to maintain the towns, which continued to collapse and fall for thousands of years, and have been completely abandoned.
The Onifang people continued to degrade for thousands of years, and eventually continued to disappear, leaving only a small part of the clansmen, who lived in the valley in front of them, barely forming villages.
"So, where have all these people of yours gone? Haven't you ever thought about shielding the Heavenly Pupil God's control over you? ”
Song Siyuan listened to the words of the old ghost woman, carefully pondered the current situation, and it was indeed consistent with her guess, the animals and plants of Shennongjia have been alienating, and the civilization of the ghost people is also degrading, what they see at this moment is nothing more than the ruins produced after the decline of the ghost civilization.
The old ghost woman sighed: "Of course I have thought about it, the elders of the clan a few decades ago once thought that they were affected because of the heavenly pupil in the brain, if the heavenly pupil can be destroyed, then it can not be affected by the image of the heavenly pupil god, but the heavenly pupil grows deep in the skull, if we want to destroy the heavenly pupil, we have to use a needle to pierce the middle of the brain, there is the slightest difference in this, not only can not achieve the goal, but also make people lose their lives in an instant." ”
"The clan elder has gone through so many experiments, but he has never succeeded in destroying that thing, so he can only create a bunch of fools with broken heads, and over time we have given up."
At the mention of this, a trace of emotion flashed in the old ghost woman's eyes: "Until my child is born, we will not achieve our goal." ”
