Volume II, Chapter 25: The Past
The Longines Kingdom is located at the southern end of the western continent of the ancient earth, bordering the Celestial Empire on the back, with a total of six cities, the capital is located in the main city of the coast - Qinzhou, and the "market capital" is still a day's journey away from the main city.
Early the next morning, when everyone went downstairs for breakfast, a patrol team entered the inn to make rounds, and it was said that they had received a secret report and were going door to door to arrest the most wanted criminal in Longines Country.
When Qian Yu saw the portrait of the wanted criminal held up by the team leader, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the avatar was eight points similar to Uncle Xiao, especially the black blindfold, it was a stroke of genius, fortunately, Uncle Xiao left early in the morning, and the patrol team went to the next house after a walk.
Due to the ascension incident, the food consumption of the inn in recent days has been extremely large, and when the convoy leaves, Uncle Nine will leave three cars, but this time without saying a word, he unloaded five cars of goods and left.
On the way to Longines Country, Qian Yu was meditating and practicing in the car, and last night's accident came suddenly, but it made Qian Yu have two additional gains, one is that the purple jade pendant absorbed a large amount of soul energy, and actually formed a white soul ball hanging in mid-air in its space, and the whole space has become larger, and the other harvest is that after the soul level was unexpectedly upgraded to the second level, the second frame of the nine frames has shown the golden font "Thorn", and now there is a bone bow and an iron rod in the two frames.
Qianyu was groping for the word "stab", and Xiaobai actually poked the probe and sneaked into the car.
Qianyu looked at Xiaobai with a red face amusedly, and he still squirmed and refused to get into his car two days ago.
"Hmmm... There are two things I want to ask you, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, just if I don't say hello. Xiaobai finally mustered up the courage, lowered his head and said, the more he talked, the quieter he became, the straightforwardness of the two when they first met at the inn had long since disappeared.
"It's okay, just say it, as long as I know, I'll tell you. "Since Uncle Bai let him take care of Xiaobai, he will be together for a long time in the future, and he doesn't want to deliberately hide her, so he will naturally say what he can say.
Xiao Bai immediately raised his head, smiled on his little face, and said quickly: "That day in the woods, many beasts besieged us, I saw the beasts under your feet suddenly disappear a few times, and I always wanted to ask you to come, in addition, last night in the stands, I saw that you had a headache and hugged your head, and there was obviously nothing in your hand, but then I saw a piece of purple jade pendant firmly grasped by you, and then suddenly disappeared, I don't know what's going on, do you know how to trick up?"
That's a really good question, but it's also a tricky one.
"If you can keep it a secret, I'll tell you the secret. Qian Yu looked directly into Xiao Bai's eyes.
Xiao Bai's eyes widened and he nodded excitedly.
Under Xiao Bai's incredible gaze, a purple jade pendant slowly appeared in Qianyu's palm.
Hey, the information in the box seems to be a little wrong, I remember that it used to be a one-star space stone, but now how can it be displayed as a "superb space stone", and the star has changed to "???"? Qian Yu was a little confused. It's a good thing that the space stone becomes the best space stone, but what does it mean that the star has become three question marks?
"Wow... Xiao Bai finally sighed, and carefully touched the purple jade pendant with his fingertips, this is true.
"I know, it's going to be complicated to explain, and you don't believe it... Qian Yu put away the purple jade pendant, and while thinking about the wording, he slowly explained, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Bai.
"I know, I know, I don't tell anyone else, your body is like ... A water tank can hold a lot of things, right?"
Qian Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, it seems right to understand it this way, but, water... I don't know what kind of mess this little head contains, but it saves me time to explain.
"Ha, it's really the same as I thought, then can you put my jade pendant in it?" Xiao Bai took out a white jade pendant tied with a red rope from his chest.
"Of course you can!" Qian Yu took the jade pendant, and suddenly a suspicious look appeared on his face.
Hmm? Why is it suggested in my brain that it is a one-star space stone? But it is not indicated that it is used by dripping blood, is there a master?
"What's wrong?"
"How did this jade pendant come from?"
"It's my mother's relic, it's said to have been hanging on me since I was born, what's wrong?"
"No, I'll just ask. After saying that, the jade pendant disappeared from his hand, but when Qianyu's consciousness wanted to enter it, a strong repulsive force appeared.
When the jade pendant reappeared from Qian Yu's hand, Xiao Bai showed an excited expression.
Qian Yu thought about it, held the jade pendant, and slowly introduced soul energy, in his opinion, if this jade pendant is compared to the human body, then, that repulsive force is the heresy that prevents him from entering, it is the source of the disease, you might as well try to use the soul energy to clear it.
When the soul can enter the jade pendant, the area where the soul can enter the jade pendant will glow with a faint white light, slowly advancing.
When the entire jade pendant glowed with white light, the remarks column in the frame in Qian Yu's mind prompted "Use of blood drops" as expected.
"Great, that's true. Qian Yu clenched his fist and was excited. Spread out his palm, was about to return the jade pendant to Xiao Bai, but unexpectedly found that a small word appeared in the lower left corner of the jade pendant, which was not there before, Qian Yu was sure that it was not his own dazzle, and took a closer look, it was a faint "Zhu" word, Xiao Bai also found the abnormality, and read softly: "Zhu?
Qian Yu comforted: "Since it was left by your mother, then it will not be far from ten, now we have at least one more clue, and we may be able to find your grandfather according to this clue in the future, so pay more attention to it in the future." Come on, don't cry, you can drop a drop of blood on the jade pendant first. ”
Xiaobai's little face cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, wiped his tears when he heard the words, put his thoughts about his mother aside, pinched the jade pendant with his left hand, put his right hand to his mouth, hesitated, couldn't say anything, Qianyu looked funny, took out the bird's beak, and quickly gently touched forward, a drop of blood came out from the tip of Xiaobai's index finger and dripped on the jade pendant.
"Ahh This... ?”
"Dripping blood to recognize the Lord, how can you use it if you don't do this? Try to let your consciousness enter the Jade Pendant. ”
"Ah, what?" Xiaobai couldn't understand, consciousness... How to get into the jade pendant?
When Qian Yu watched Xiao Bai squeeze his eyebrows and squeeze his little face into a ball in pain, he finally understood where the problem was.
Soul energy!
That's right, it's soul energy, soul energy is like a road paved to the jade pendant space, and your consciousness enters through soul energy.
Xiaobai has no soul energy, or soul energy is not enough, without the Great Dao, the consciousness will naturally not be able to reach the invisible door, it's as simple as that.
"Alas, you stop first, let me think about it, and then I'll tell you when I find a way, you put away the jade pendant first, don't lose it." ”
His soul energy was suddenly available, and he inexplicably matched the use of skills, but Xiaobai didn't have it, how could he cultivate?
Qian Yu was a little big-headed, and he didn't have a clue for a while, so he had to put it aside and continue to cultivate.
Xiaobai also stayed in the car and didn't leave, pinching the jade pendant and thinking about it.
The journey is always boring.
In the morning, Aunt Jin asked Qianyu for another scale, and in the afternoon, she asked Condensation Bing to come over and call Qianyu over, and gave Qianyu a close-fitting vest, and the part on her chest turned out to be the python scales.
"I changed this vest a little smaller, and by the way, I also changed the original heart goggles, can you see if it fits?"
Qian Yu held the vest with both hands, not knowing what to say, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"This vest was made more than ten years ago, anyway, it's a waste to be idle, it's not worth a few dollars, you make do with it first, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it." Aunt Jin comforted while thinking about the tall figure, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Back in the car, in Xiaobai's surprised eyes, Qianyu quickly put on the vest close to his body, and suddenly there was a hint of coolness, which was very comfortable.
This... Isn't this the vest that Aunt Jin always wears on her lips?
Xiao Bai muttered to himself, however, Qianyu is not bad, and he is also quite powerful.
Towards dusk, the convoy stopped.
Qian Yu didn't know what to do, jumped out of the car and asked, only to know that he had arrived at the main city of Longines, and there was a long queue in front of him entering the city.
Qianyu rushed to the front of the convoy, and Uncle Nine was handing over the guards to go through the formalities for entering the city.
The location of the main city of Longines is very peculiar, a towering city wall stuck between two steep mountains, giving people a feeling of "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", in front of the city wall is a wide moat, around the city.
Any army will have a sense of despair in front of this wall, and even if it takes the lives of its soldiers, it may not be able to attack it.
"How do you feel?" After Uncle Nine finished explaining, he saw that Qian Yu was looking at the city wall, and came over and asked.
"Majestic, easy to defend and difficult to attack. "Qianyu has a very high learning talent, and in addition to teaching the exercises, Long Bo also teaches some methods of marching and fighting, seeing this scene, an eight-character summary immediately popped up in his mind.
"Yes, the Longines country was known as 200,000 troops, in front of the 50,000 army led by General Wu, the rest of the five cities, in addition to the main city, fell one after another, the disabled team swarmed into the main city, stubbornly not out, General Wu attacked for three days and three nights in a row, the soldiers lost tens of thousands of people, still failed to take, had to be stationed outside the city, besieged but not attacked. ”
However, this main city is different from other cities, facing the sea, there is no shortage of food, and the army led by General Wu has no ability to fight at sea at all, and the two sides are at a stalemate for a while. ”
"After more than ten years of fighting, seeing that the last battle was just around the corner, the reunification of the mainland could be declared. ”
"Three days later, General Long only brought a commando battalion of less than a thousand people to arrive, hehe, guess what?" Uncle Nine asked.
"How is it possible for a thousand people to take this city?" said Qian Yu with a frown.
"Yes, as a veteran of the original siege, I thought, how is this possible?" As he spoke, Uncle Nine took off his shirt, revealing his scarred upper body, pointed to a scar on his shoulder, and said, "I still have several such arrow wounds, all of which were left in this siege." The arrow, far away, fell like rain, even if it rushed under the city wall, the stones, the burning wood fell on the head, few could go up the city wall, and even if they went up, they quickly disappeared, it was too miserable. ”
But I didn't expect that on the day General Long came, the city gate was opened in the middle of the night, and General Wu led the army commander to drive straight into the palace and kill him. ”
"Do you see the steep cliffs on both sides? It looks quite steep, but it is for us ordinary soldiers, and for those people in the rivers and lakes who come and go high in the assault battalion directly under General Long, it is a piece of cake. ”
What a high-end combat power that must be. Qian Yu secretly admired.
By this time, the convoy had broken away from the long line and headed for the city gate alone.
"Let's go, let's talk as we go. Seeing that the special customs clearance order had worked, Uncle Nine took Qian Yu and walked forward with the convoy.
"After General Wu arrived at the palace, he did not attack without authorization, and was waiting for General Long to decide. I didn't expect that the monarch was actually a martial arts master, shouting to let General Long enter the palace and let him go, conceited life and death, in our opinion, this is really self-defeating. ”
"Later, General Long should have won. ”
General Long brought his four generals into the palace, and as a result, he sent one up casually, and in less than thirty moves, he severely injured the monarch and vomited blood. ”
Qian Yu was secretly fascinated when he heard this, he was really bold, what if he was trapped?
"Then why hasn't the Longines country fallen yet?" Qianyu immediately grasped the point.
"That's a good question, there are really not many people who know this insider, and I happen to be one of the few people who know. Uncle Jiu's face was full of pride, with a look of "you continue to ask".
Qian Yu really cooperated, and really continued to ask, "What happened later?"
"Longines is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, at this time there was a national teacher, I had never heard of such a number one person before, only a flute won the general, and then the national teacher specially invited the dragon general to fight on the Dumu Cliff, it is said that the national teacher has been cultivating in the Dumu Cliff, never paying attention to secular things. ”
The two came to the entrance of the city gate, and there were all kinds of bounty lists posted on the city walls on both sides, and Uncle Xiao's one-eyed portrait was pasted in the most conspicuous position, and Qianyu's eyes were sharp, and he recognized it at a glance.
"It's been posted for more than ten years, and I haven't even seen the shadow of General Xiao, so I'm embarrassed to continue to post it here, and the number of Longines is like this, hehe. Uncle Nine sneered all over his face.
Qian Yu pinched the skull headdress in his bag, the enemy of his friend is his enemy, and he instantly put Longines on his opposite side in his heart.
"Later, did General Long go to Dumu Cliff?"
"Go, why don't you go. General Long respects the heroes of the world the most, and it is rare to meet an opponent in chess, so how can he miss it? The next day, he went up to the Dumu Cliff alone. ”
"This battle is ten days and ten nights. Ten days later, Lombard descended the Dumu Cliff and led his army to evacuate, except for the two people involved, who did not know who would win or lose in the final result. However, it is said that some people found that General Long left with a pale face and a vain foot, and he did not destroy the Longines country, so it was very likely that he would lose. ”
However, what makes people wonder is that after the establishment of the Heavenly Empire, the Longines Kingdom immediately announced its submission and became its vassal state, and paid regular tribute every year, so the outcome of that battle became an intractable mystery on the rivers and lakes, and the most widely rumored was a draw. ”
"What about that national teacher, is he still in Longines Country?" Qian Yu felt that he was not his opponent no matter what, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"It is said that after a few years, the old disease recurred and died, God is jealous of the talent, what a pity, and I don't know if it was injured by General Long. ”
The two chatted and chatted, unconsciously entered the city gate, walked on the bluestone avenue that went straight through, the mountains on both sides were steep, the woods were dense, and Qianyu's heart was cold, thinking that if two battalions of archers were placed on the mountains on both sides, no matter how many enemy troops were killed, they would have to explain here.
