Chapter 20: Ancient Prophecy
Leading the newly formed three thousand iron cavalry, with the same more than 6,000 warriors of the Red Fire Clan, Zi Chen and Chiguyev chatted and drove towards that tribe, in Chiguev's description, a long time ago, the Shenzhou Continent was not divided into grassland demons and Central Plains people, at that time, almost all human beings lived in the Central Plains east of the Kunlun Mountains, and the grasslands west of the Kunlun Mountains were places where all kinds of beasts and fierce beasts were entrenched.
At that time, in the Central Plains, there was no concept of a country, but only in the form of a tribe.
Until one day, the two most powerful tribal leaders had a disagreement, and the reason for the disagreement was not clear to Chiguev, and then the two most powerful tribes started a fight, originally the strength of the two tribes was not much different, but one of the tribes had the help of the Ancient Immortals, and then defeated the other tribe in one fell swoop.
In the end, the tribe was driven out of the Kunlun Mountains and driven to the prairie occupied by various wild beasts at that time.
At that time, for this failed tribe, it was simply to come to hell, and the tribe of the war, the most elite warriors of the tribe have been sleeping at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, fled to the prairie, are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, in order to let their own people survive in this cruel land, the tribal leader who was already seriously injured at that time raised demons with his body, incarnated as demons, and led such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to fight with the sky, beasts, and earth, and took root in the grassland.
After the clansmen settled down, the leader couldn't suppress the demonic nature in his body, and the whole person became bloodthirsty and brutal, in order not to affect his own people, he rushed to the Kunlun Mountains alone, and never came back.
Some people say that he once again rushed into the land of the Central Plains, causing a bloodshed, and was finally suppressed by those immortals!
Some people say that the only section of canyon in the middle of the Kunlun Mountains was broken by the chief.
And that leader has also become the great demon god believed in by the grassland demons.
Even if he became demonic in the end, the Prairie Demon still believed that he would always protect them.
There are also ancient sacrifices that leave prophecies, sooner or later, the son of the demon god who was born to know will lead the grassland people to re-invade the territory of the Kunlun Mountains and return to the place where their ancestors lived.
It's just that with the passage of time, with the establishment of the Xilun Fortress, except for the holy war of the Red Fire Clan thousands of years ago, the grassland iron cavalry never had the opportunity to step into the Central Plains, but for the sake of power, in order to seize a more abundant pasture, the various tribes fought each other, and they had long forgotten the prophecy left by this ancestor.
The Red Fire Clan is one of the few tribes that still knows this prophecy.
"Okay, even if what you say is true, even if I was born to know, but how can you be sure that I am the son of the prophesied demon god? I once heard an old guy say that although there are few people who are born to know, but it is not nothing, I am not the only one who is born to know in this world!" After listening to Chiguev's words, Zi Chen was curious again.
"Because of your hands, I once saw a mural in an ancient ruin, it was a mural of the great demon god killing the desolate beast, and the demon god in the painting had a pair of mutated hands!" Chiguev said honestly.
"That's it?"
"That's because of this!"
Zi Chen's brows furrowed suddenly, originally he wanted to know a little bit from Chiguev's mouth why his hands were petrified, but now it seems that he doesn't know very well.
But why does the legend he is talking about always feel so familiar?
Sounds like you've heard it somewhere?
"By the way, since your tribal leader has been driven out of the Kunlun Mountains, what about the victorious tribe?" Zi Chen asked again.
At this moment, he was like a curious baby, because the story Chiguev told was very different from the one he had heard since childhood.
In the legends he heard, the grassland demons were all people who sold their souls to the demons and the great demon gods, and they were brutal by nature, and they were driven out of the Kunlun Mountains by powerful immortal masters.
"The land of the Central Plains, rich in products, vast and rich, that tribe developed rapidly, the population grew rapidly, and soon formed a city-state, and finally formed a country, but since that war, the Qingtian Daomen appeared in the Central Plains. When those countries were formed, the influence of the Qingtian Daomen even exceeded the monarchy, and the various countries fought each other, but all the countries treated the Qingtian Daomen with courtesy, and all the countries that did not obey the Qingtian Daomen disappeared in the long river of history until the emergence of the Tang Empire!"
Seeing Chiguev's admiration, Zi Chen's heart was also inexplicably proud, yes, the power of the Qingtian Daomen is all over the world, but with the efforts of several generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty, the forces of the Qingtian Daomen have been completely driven out of the territory of the Tang Empire, and the Tang Dynasty has also become the largest empire in the entire Shenzhou Continent.
Whether it is the Qingtian Daomen, or the grassland demons, or the northern barbarians, they can't shake the national prestige of the Tang Empire, as a citizen of the Tang Empire, how can you not be proud?
It is precisely because of this pride that countless people of the Tang Dynasty have joined the army one after another to guard this glory together.
Just when Zi Chen was immersed in this pride, a sound of horses' hooves interrupted his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw a team of Tsing Yi iron horsemen galloping towards this side quickly, Zi Chen and Chiguev glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, could it be that Luo Yun and they succeeded so quickly? Or was there trouble ahead?
