Chapter 280, the catastrophe of the sea
Everyone didn't speak, so that Zeng Bufan calmed down his emotions. Wait for him to calm down a bit. Qingshi asked, "What kind of catastrophe is this?" ”
"This catastrophe is a great battle between the Sea Clan and the humans," Zeng Bufan said, "It is said that the cause is that a group of human monks infiltrated the Dragon Kun Palace, they stole the Dragon Palace's treasure, and after being discovered, they killed almost all the Dragon Palace Sea Clan, including Kunhuang's three wives and more than a dozen children, and according to the surviving Water Tribe, they also captured the Kun Emperor's youngest son."
"Emperor Kun was playing on Yingyao Island with his fourth wife and their only daughter at that time, and he hurried back after learning that the Dragon Palace had been attacked, but it was too late, the group of human monks had already washed the Dragon Palace in blood and left in a hurry.
"The Kunhuang chased desperately, and finally caught up with them when he was close to the coast of the Shenmu Continent, so it was another bloody battle, the Kunhuang was a single pursuit, so he was outnumbered, although he also destroyed a few boats and killed hundreds of people, but those monks still injured him, and then boarded the Shenmu Continent.
Emperor Kun was furious, but he couldn't get ashore to fight them, so he could only watch them go with his only remaining son. In a fit of rage, the Kunhuang lost his mind and turned back to take revenge on the humans with the Sea Clan.
"The Kunhuang swore to kill all the humans, starting with the sea. He took the blood of the Sea Clan to wash one island after another inhabited by humans, and everywhere he went, there were no chickens and dogs. Human beings are forced to resist in desperation. A war that lasted three years, and the casualties on both sides were simply uncountable.
"In the end, the remaining human beings gathered on Chongshan Island, and Emperor Kun led the remnants of the Sea Clan to launch a final battle, in which my old friend and Izumo were killed, and I was seriously injured and dying.
"But Emperor Kun also died in the end, he died with a very powerful tribal leader, that leader is not as powerful as our three foreign monks, but he is a sea people, and knows how to deal with the sea tribe.
"Although the Kunhuang died, the Hai Clan, under the leadership of the fourth wife of the Kunhuang Emperor, was still able to kill the last remaining human beings, because at this time, the human monks were almost completely killed in battle, leaving only more than 10,000 women, children and children.
"At the critical moment, the Wind Emperor, that is, the daughter of the Kunhuang and his fourth wife, appeared, she was originally imprisoned at the bottom of the sea by the Kunhuang with mana because of her opposition to the war with humans, and as soon as the Kunhuang died, the mana that imprisoned her disappeared, so she was freed, and as soon as she was free, she immediately rushed to stop the war.
"The Wind Emperor persuaded his mother and his people not to slaughter the last remaining humans. They agreed that except for the Wind Emperor himself, all the sea tribes were not allowed to land on Chongshan Island. However, if the humans are not within the scope of Chongshan Island, the Sea Clan can dispose of them at will.
"The Wind Emperor is very kind, she is afraid that some sea tribes will not obey the order to land on the island and kill people, so she has lived on the island for a long time to protect humans. Over time, human beings have called Chongshan Island the Imperial Island.
"In order not to provoke the anger of the sea tribes, human beings do not dare to go to the sea to engage in fishing, even fish, shrimp and shellfish. Naturally, no one dared to sail away from Fenghuangdao again.
"There is no doubt that human ships coming from the outer seas will be attacked by all the sea tribes, and the Wind Emperor and her men will always do their best to save some of the human survivors when they encounter such a situation.
"There were originally hundreds of islands with a population of tens of millions, but after this catastrophe, only more than 10,000 people remained on Fenghuang Island, and today, the population is less than 100,000. I don't know exactly how much the Sea Clan's losses were, but there were no less than ten Shapeshifting Demons who died at the hands of our Clan, and as for the other Sea Beasts, there were countless of them. The dragon kun clan is also the only one left of the Wind Emperor and her mother, mother and daughter.
"The surviving people of Wind Emperor Island are basically ordinary people, very few monks, and some have extremely low talents, so their lifespan is not more than two hundred years old at all. Five hundred years have passed, and this incident has long been forgotten by people, but I, an old immortal, still remember the bloody wind and rain of the year. ”
After Zeng Bufan finished speaking, everyone fell into a long silence again. Only then did Qingshi know why Ah Kun would not have a father.
After a long time, Qingshi opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Elder Zeng, do you think that the monk who attacked the Kunhuang Dragon Palace is the one who took the lead in the eldest brother and his party?" ”
"I don't know!" Zeng Bufan shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about this question for five hundred years, but I still don't know the answer. Judging by what I learned later, it doesn't seem to be them.
"First of all, the situation of the fleet does not match, it is said that the fleet caught up by the Kunhuang has eleven warships, which should be from the Shenmu Continent in terms of style, and the leading brother and his party only have three warships from the Tianlong Continent.
"The second is the discrepancy in numbers, after the Kunhuang caught up with the fleet, he killed hundreds of people, and even more people landed and left, and the leading brother and they even had sailors and servants There were less than a hundred people in total.
"However, in terms of combat power, I can slaughter the Kunhuang Dragon Palace and slaughter all his family members, except for the leading eldest brother and his party, I really can't think of anyone else with such great ability! Moreover, from the point of view of time, they are also very suspicious. ”
"yes!" Qingshi nodded and said, "Both ships and people can be increased at any time, but it is not easy to find another team with such strong combat power!" By the way, what did that old friend of yours say? He should know the purpose of this trip! ”
"Of course I asked him," Zeng Bufan said, "and he insisted that it would never be the leader of the big brother who did it, because our destination was the Demon Sea, not the Mighty Sea." Attacking the Kunhuang Dragon Palace is also not part of the plan. ”
"And what is your purpose?" Qingshi said, "You have encountered such a great change, didn't he tell you?" ”
"Nope!" Zeng Bufan said, "He firmly believes that the catastrophe we encountered has nothing to do with the big brother who took the lead, let alone our plan of action, so he still adheres to the principle and must see the big brother in the lead." ”
"Without even knowing the purpose, you are obligated to follow the leading brother across the ocean without hesitation!" Qingshi thought and said, "This leading brother is really amazing!" I guess, the leading brother is probably Jiang Tianlong, and your old friend should be Jiang Tiankui, right? ”
"That's right!" Zeng Bufan smiled slightly, "Apart from their brothers, who else has such great appeal?" ”
Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian gasped together, just like Qingshi, they knew the reason why the pride of the heavens suddenly disappeared, and Duan Wutian finally knew the whereabouts of his Hongling old grandfather.
It's just that what the purpose of the Jiang brothers is, even Zeng Bufan, who participated in it, doesn't know, but it's really puzzling. And whether this catastrophe five hundred years ago was caused by Jiang Tianlong or not is even more urgent to find out. Zeng Bufan, as one of the parties involved, has been dragging his body for 500 years, and he has not been able to know the answer, and his frustration can be imagined.
"The people of our generation of the Heavenly Dragon Continent can be described as having a lot of luck," Zeng Bufan continued, "There are no less than twenty people who have achieved true qi!" In the process of dominating the world, most of them fell. And the remaining ten people, all of whom were taken overseas by the Jiang brothers, thousands of miles away. Jiang Tianlong and Xiang Quai, what happened to the seven of them? To this day, I still don't know, but in my opinion, most of them are more than lucky! The generation of Tianjiao back then, I'm afraid that I am the only one left to survive and live in the world! ”
"No less than twenty?" Qingduan Chen and the others were all surprised, because what they knew was that the group of great cultivators who were full of true qi were about ten, and the general saying was nine.
Zeng Bufan stood up, walked towards the outside of the small courtyard with a pot of fire, and said, "You come with me!" Qingduan Chen and the others hurriedly followed, while Jing'er followed far behind.
In the bright moonlight, they walked along the stone path for a few feet, and the four of them came to a small hill overgrown with weeds, and saw a low mound standing with the head facing west.
The tomb is made of random stones, there is a half-person high tombstone standing in front of the tombstone, the tombstone is stone, the edges and corners around are not polished and smooth, it looks simple and rough, only the words on the tombstone are gold hook and iron scratch, simple and vigorous.
The words engraved on the tombstone are: The tomb of Jiang Tiankui, the king of Qi of the Tianlong Dynasty.
"Tiankui," Zeng Bufan muttered, "I brought a few of our little fellows from the Tianlong Continent to see you, this wine was brought from the Tianlong Continent, I think you will like it!" ”
After speaking, Zeng Bufan poured the wine in the pot in front of the grave.
The three of them all stepped forward respectfully and bowed.
Looking at this low mound, the hearts of the three of them were full of emotion. One of the two founders of the Tianlong Dynasty, Jiang Tiankui, the king of Qi Tiankui, who was known as the two saints with his brother Jiang Tianlong, was buried in this small pile of earth and stones.
The glory and power of the past have long since passed with the wind, and the country he built with his own hands has also changed its name and surname, however, his prestige is still there, and it can still make future generations sincerely admire it after thousands of years.
After worshipping Jiang Tiankui, a few people slowly walked back, went down the hill, and waited for Jing'er who was waiting under the post to come over, following Zeng Bufan's side.
Qingshi asked, "Elder Zeng, what about Elder Crane of the Immortal Sword Sect?" Where are his bones? We should also go and pay our respects. ”
"He's it!" Zeng Bufan smiled bitterly and said, "The place where his bones are buried is the belly of a Jiao demon. However, even if his bones are still there, I will cremate him and scatter his ashes in the wind. Your master is also from the Immortal Sword Sect, didn't he tell you about the disposal of the bones of the people of the Immortal Sword Sect after they died? ”
"Oh, that's it!" Qingshi understood, nodded and said, "I've heard of these unique rules of the Hidden World Sect, but I forgot about them for a while. ”
"These rules are weird!" Duan Wutian said, "How good it is to set up a grave mound for future generations to worship, so that future generations have a place to hang!" ”
"Stupid again, aren't you?" Chen Tianye said, "The people of the Hidden World Sect don't marry wives and have children, how can there be any descendants!" ”
"Remembering our ancestors is mainly in our hearts," Jing'er said, "After our sea tribe dies, we will naturally be buried in the sea, even you human sea people are also this custom, what's wrong?" Do you have to find a place to bury your bones? If this is the case, tens of thousands of years will pass, but I am afraid that this island will be full of graves and dead people, and the living will have no place to live. ”
"That's right!" Chen Tianye stroked his mustache and said with a smile, "Sister Jing'er is very right! ”
"What do you call me?" Jing'er's eyes widened angrily, and she said angrily, "Mother, I am almost two thousand years old, you stinky boy has only lived for a few years, dare to call me a sister?" It's almost the same to call grandma! ”
"This ......" Chen Tianye was embarrassed, laughing and speechless.
"I think it's good to be called Sister Jing'er!" Duan Wutian said, "You are young and beautiful after turning into a human form! It doesn't look like you're even twenty, doesn't calling grandma a grandmother that calls you old? No, no, absolutely not! ”
"Do you really think I'm young and pretty?" Jing'er's anger disappeared, she smiled sweetly at Duan Wutian and asked, "How beautiful?" Prettier than your lover's sister? ”
"How can I have a lover sister?" Duan Wutian's thick and dark old face actually flushed, "I think...... I think you're the prettiest I've ever seen...... Hmm~ How do you say it? Prettier than my mom! ”
"Really?" Jing'er was overjoyed, "Okay, I won't let you call you grandma, aunt...... No, call it sister! ”
"No, no, no!" Duan Wutian said simply, "You can't call me sister!" You have to call it a girl, you can only call it a girl......"
"Okay!" Jing'er smiled coquettishly, "Then I'll allow you to call me sister......"
Qingshi and Chen Tianye deliberately fell behind, sneering and laughing.
"Hey!" Jing'er stared back at Qingshi and Chen Tianye, and said angrily, "What are you two laughing at?" ”
"Nothing!" Chen Tianye smiled, "Jing'er Zu~Milk~Milk~"
"Phew!" Jing'er couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You two, call sister!" ”
Zeng Bufan walked in the front, and on his sad old face, there was also a rare smile.
