Chapter 3: The Man Under the Ice

On the grasslands that stretch for thousands of miles in the north, the Beiyi tribe lives. They live in the company of cows, sheep and wolves, and both men and women are strong warriors. However, the extreme cold of the far north has invaded the grasslands, making the environment in which they live more and more harsh. In order to get food, they traveled south from outside the Saiwai and attacked the Great Wall again and again.

At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos, and the various kingdoms that were in a hurry could not deal with this group of savages, and could not let them plunder, so they had to unite and negotiate with them. In the end, a tentative armistice was reached at the expense of food and cloth. Along with these peace gifts arrived the princess who was kind.

The Beiyi sent the princess to their sacred land, the Sea of Winter, and sacrificed her to the gods as a bride. They believe that this will allow their gods to re-enter the world and protect their tribes. Over time, this evolved into a cruel and sacred tradition.

However, after years of war, several powerful countries began to rise on the mainland. The rulers no longer needed the covenant and began to plot to wipe out the barbarians of the north. They hatched a brutal conspiracy: to attack the entire grassland while the people were unprepared for the festival. On that day, the whole land turned red. Later history books recorded this event as a "bloody wedding"

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

The blood-colored grassland was filled with the smoke of war and the stumps and severed limbs that could be seen everywhere, among which the corpses of the obvious Beiyi tribe were the majority, when a vigorous horse with a warlike spirit galloped around on this battlefield like a whirlwind and clouds, and took its master to harvest the remnants of the northern barbarians.

"Ahh

The horse's limbs were thick and powerful, its body was fat, and its belly armor seemed to wrap around the huge horse's belly as if it were cutting corners, and if anyone who didn't know the details decided to think that it was a stallion, it would be a big mistake, and its red flame color showed its temper, and it slammed its head into the panicked remnants in front of it.

This is exactly the mount of General Cheng Biting Jin of the Tang Empire, the big-bellied Grasshopper Red.

The big-bellied grasshopper red bit gold in his hand, holding a bursting double axe, swinging left and right, like a killing god on the battlefield, and the place where he passed was either dead or disabled, and gradually the battlefield was in a downturned situation.

"Report, General..... Straight ahead..... 100 kilometers to discover the holy land of Beiyi....."

The scouts in the distance came from far to near, and as soon as the words fell, the people got off their horses and knelt on one knee with their eyes showing worship, and Xiang Cheng Biting Jin truthfully told everything he had just discovered!

"The Sea of Winter?" The big-bellied grasshopper red bit Jin Yao looked due north and stroked his horsehair, as if he wanted to see the holy place where sacrifices were sacrificed from generation to generation, he waved his hand: "The army listened to the order, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and set off quickly to the north for a hundred kilometers!"

Shouts of killing soon sounded near the holy land of the Beiyi tribe, and it was impossible to resist the prepared army, and soon the Tang army here was loaded with gold and silver under the command of Cheng Yanjin and transported back to the north.

The victors excitedly carried and excavated the treasures offered by the ancestors here for peace, but fortunately, the Beiyi people did not use the slightest bit of the holy land.

"Look, what have I dug up," the soldier excitedly called out to his comrades, the soldier was entitled to half of the wealth of the booty obtained according to military regulations, and he smashed the shovel with both arms, apparently not having time to see what it was when the shovel collided, so he couldn't wait to cry out.

Soon a circle formed around them, and the soldiers stopped to see what was more than gold and silver to surprise the screaming fellow.

Soon a corner of the ground was dug out, and it was an ice horn, and the scattered soldiers were shocked, and they soon went down to help a few more comrades, and a burst of dirt flew around, and soon with the addition of a few shovels, the treasures of the underground place that the soldiers said were finally revealed.

"It's so unlucky. ”

When the glittering ice mound was seen again under the sting of the noon sun, the soldiers hurriedly spat on the ground, and the people scattered around seemed to be afraid of being touched by the filth, and suddenly the lively crowd walked away.

In order to obtain an unexpected fortune, the group of soldiers had already left the area covered by the army, only to see a group of law enforcement teams in the distance coming from far and near.

When the law enforcement team pressed a group of soldiers to the Chinese army, the ice mound that was dug up seemed to be ignored anymore, and Huan Gu was forgotten in the middle of the dug huge pit.

I saw that the ice mound was three feet long, as if a young man was buried in an ice coffin, and it could be seen from the outside that this was a man with a beautiful face, as if he was sleeping soundly, he was very peaceful, and he was very calm with the legendary sage who passed away, without a trace of pain on his face.

In the middle of the army, there are many people, sitting or standing, many generals and colonels are called here, whenever one after another generals and captains open the curtain to enter, there will always be accompanied by the sound of laughter out of the tent, even the guards around are covering their mouths and can't help laughing.

After a long time, when the last person entered the noisy tent, he suddenly calmed down, and his rough face was full of consternation, and the generals in important positions twitched the corners of their mouths when they saw the comer, and tried their best to hold back a smile.

"Haha....."

There was a burst of heroic laughter from Cheng Yanjin, who had not made a sound, and it turned out that they were all involved in the great profession of excavation engineering, and their faces were as muddy as refugees.

The wealth accumulated by the Beiyi people for thousands of years obviously did not make this group of men expected in advance, and soon they found that the vehicles they brought could not be transported away at all, and finally everyone negotiated to requisition the carts that transported grain and grass, and these coachmen excavated and transported all kinds of treasures back to Chang'an.

Two days later, when the vehicle of the people was finally filled with all kinds of treasures, Cheng Yanjin issued a military order to return to Chang'an, the war had been fought to this extent beyond his imagination, with the desire for victory, he wanted to fight to the royal court of Beiyi with the strength of a supreme star, and capture the immortal feats of the Great Khan of Beiyi "Temujin".

Fortunately, he was not carried away by the victory, and the empress had secretly warned herself not to fight with Genghis Khan before the expedition, even when facing the empress herself, Genghis Khan's strength was not inferior, and Cheng Yanjin's own strength knew that although he could run rampant in the entire continent, he had not met the strongest king-level powerhouse, even if he added two of them.

He silently looked across the sea of winter at the far north, where the Tower of the Day of Miracles had been built, and although his vision was blurred, it was not difficult to imagine the glory of the primeval times from the collapsed ruins.

The army still opened, and they crossed the border like locusts and returned to the Tang Dynasty with the spoils of war.

When the people and horses left, the wrecked grassland returned to its former quietness, and the grassland without a trace of human habitation was slowly melting in the sunlight in a deep pit.

"Grandpa, what are we doing here?

With a sweet voice. A girl with an innocent face and long hair fluttering in the wind appeared on the messy grassland, only to see the girl with a pair of non-human rabbit ears, and a pair of beautiful eyes looking at the old man beside her suspiciously.

There are multiple versions of the appearance of the demon seed, and it is rumored that the most convincing thing is that the demon seed was created by the gods, at first they had no thoughts, but after a series of evolutions, the demon seeds also had feelings and thoughts, and the appearance of the demon seed was the appearance of non-humans.

Looking at the rabbit ears of the girl and her grandfather, it is not difficult to guess that this is a human-demon hybrid born after the marriage between humans and demons.

"We hung in the rear of the army to pick up waste, and when we saved enough money, grandpa will take you to Chang'an City and let you go to the workshop to study, grandpa knows that you have liked those dancers since you were a child. ”

The old man looked at his granddaughter very kindly, looking at the various potholes of different sizes dug by the Tang army, and the old man concluded that there were valuable objects left by the Tang army.

The girl's eyes were red when she heard this, and she looked at the wrinkled face of the elderly grandfather who had already covered her face, and nodded fiercely, maybe some oath fell from the girl's heart.

"Ah Li, you go and have a look at that area," the old man said to his granddaughter under the scorching sun, pointing to a certain area.

An old man and a young man wandered around under the scorching sun to explore, and finally found a young man lying in the pit not far from the Beiyi Holy Land, the young man did not have a trace of blood, his delicate face was full of paleness, if it wasn't for the faint snort, it was hard to imagine that this was a living person!

The steppe was full of dangers, and robbers often wandered by, but fortunately, the army had just left, and it was not the time for the robbers to wander and plunder.

"Crunch, crunch, ......"

The kind-hearted old man still carried the young man onto the ox cart with the help of his granddaughter, obviously if he was not a young man, the grandfather and grandson picked up a few gold coins, presumably this time the harvest was quite rich, the old man did not dare to stay here longer, so he carried his granddaughter and the young man, and slowly drove towards the direction of the departure of the Tang army.

On the bumpy ox cart, the grandfather and grandson seemed to be used to no discomfort at all, and the young man lying on the ox cart was already dying, which was really a sour journey.

"Bang...."The young man's head was upside down and landed on the hard ox cart, and his face twitched slightly in pain.

Ever since the young man was put on the ox cart, he felt the faint fragrance coming from him, and he wanted to open his eyes, but it was difficult for him to move his body as if it had been filled with lead.

"Hiss....." bumps in the girl was inertia and pressed the young man's calf, the young man in his mind wanted to cry without tears, this wave of pain has not dissipated, he was dragged by a hand from the back of the car and fell, it turned out that the girl did not catch the wheel and fell off the car when she grabbed something in a panic....

"If I don't open my eyes again, I'm afraid I won't live to tomorrow. The young man on all fours in the grass was depressed.....

Maybe it was the bumps that stimulated the acupoints, or maybe the young man really couldn't stand such inhuman treatment, and when a ray of sunlight came into his eyes, the young man's mind was blank.

"Ah, you're awake. I see you're not dressed as a Yanran, why are you in a coma on the grassland?" Maybe the girl is untouched, and her face is slightly rosy when she sees the young man wake up, and she is innocent and doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister at this time.

The young man looked around blankly, opened his mouth, and there was no sound, as if he had not talked to others for a long time, and his mouth was stiff.

Liang Jiu thought he was dumb under the gaze of his grandfather and grandson.

"I.... Call..... "How many years has the young man not had a conversation, and he said weakly and stiffly.
