At the Honghe Pass, Pingshan divides off from the west side of the Ansan Mountain Range, extending from east to west, and at the point where it reaches the Great Plains and then turns south, it cracks a flat gap like a horse's hoove.

The rushing waters of the Flood River flow out of this gap and flow all the way into the boiling Dan River to the west.

Sixty years ago, those warriors and alien gods of the Ancient Kingdom of Blood Yang who had been resurrected from their eternal sleep tried to enter the territory of the Eastern Court Protectorate from here.

Since that war, a large number of stone fortresses have been built here, and they have been stationed here by 60,000 regular troops from near the pass to the banks of the Dan River in the rear.

Over the past 60 years, a military town has been formed behind the pass, and several docks and forts have been built along the way, so that supplies and goods from the rear can be transported to the front line of the pass at any time.

Even in the years when the plague god was wreaking havoc, the river leading to the pass remained unobstructed.

Dou Chang stood on the top of the arc top fortress, looking at the camp tent on the wasteland to the north, where the Divine Captain Army was stationed, and the Divine Captain Army who came to the north was waiting, and there were two people there.

His mission is to keep an eye on the lower ranks of the Divine Captain Army.

This person's combat power is very outstanding, second only to Zhu Que of the Shangjun Hou, and in the hands of the people who have arrived in the Xuanfu now, except for him, no one has the slightest chance of winning against this alone.

Suddenly, he heard the rumbling sound of leather drums coming from across the pass, and then a flock of startled birds flew out, and he turned his head to look, but there was nothing to see at the end but the lush vegetation.

The figure flashed, and Qi Wu came to his side and said, "Senior brother, the movement on the other side is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Dou Chang said: "This is a demonstration to us, it has always been, don't pay attention to it." ”

Qi Wu said: "But senior brother, I just inquired, and said that there were some natives painted with blood-colored oil paint at the pass before, and they looked like they were believers in the mad god Buchnak of the Ancient Kingdom of Blood Yang." ”

Dou Chang's expression froze, and he half-turned around and said, "Are you sure?"

Qi Wu nodded and said, "It's news from within the Duwei Army, it should be right." ”

Dou Chang frowned, clenched his fists, and said, "Another trouble." ”

The mad god Buccinak is one of the only three alien gods that survived after the ancient kingdom of the Blood Sun was destroyed again. It is very powerful, and it is unreasonable, and it always does things as he wants, and has led a large number of believers and tribes to invade the capital on several occasions.

And the most troublesome thing is that the strength of this alien god fluctuates and is very unpredictable, and once even relied on the military Hou Zhu Que to personally repel it.

And the fact that its followers are here now means that this alien god is tossed there again.

Outside the town, Qi Ding sat on a large stump of a tree, nibbling on a huge deer's leg.

On the surface, he looked only in his twenties, with a strong temperament, and his teeth were neat and white, while his hair was very hard, and it looked like a stubble of grass, but there was no trace of smudge on it, but it was pitch black and shiny, with a strange luster.

As a lieutenant who is known for his strong attacks, his body does not look thick at all, but rather long and flexible, and the muscles on his body are long and graceful, looking as strong as a leopard.

Just as he was concentrating on dealing with the food in his hand, a young man with a gentle expression of sixteen or seventeen years old walked over in the distance, he walked over, showed a very sunny smile, and greeted: "Brother Qi, you are here." ”

Qi Ding glanced at him, nodded at him, thought about it, picked up the deer leg and shook it, and said, "Do you want to have some?"

The young man looked surprised, walked up a few steps, and said embarrassedly, "Really? Then I'm welcome, it just so happens that I haven't eaten yet." ”

Qi Feng's expression couldn't help but froze slightly, and his movements also paused.

After the young man walked up a few steps, he suddenly slowed down, winked at him, and said, "Brother Qi, you can eat by yourself, I suddenly feel that I am not hungry again." ”

Qi Feng glared at him angrily, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind, so he swallowed the deer leg in two bites, chewed and swallowed the bones together, and then took a wine bag and poured two sips.

The young man looked at him and said, "Brother Qi, is he a little bored?"

Qi Feng crossed his arm, wiped his mouth, and confessed: "It's a little boring, I can't find a good opponent, I feel uncomfortable." ”

The young man was puzzled: "The people from the Xuanfu Mansion are right next to you, why doesn't Brother Qi talk to them?"

Qi Ding directly denied: "I'm not interested in those people in Xuanfu, except for one Dou Chang, who is okay, the rest are not worth my attention." ”

The young man said curiously: "Isn't Dou Chang a suitable opponent?"

Qi Feng shook his head and said: "It is impossible for us to fight to the death, instead of looking for him, it is better to find those foreign gods on the other side." ”

The young man smiled and said, "If you are a god, then Brother Qi may have a chance to move his muscles and bones soon." ”

Qi Feng tightened the metal bracer in his hand and said, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it." He stood up from the stump, and saw that he was two heads taller than the young man.

After stretching his body in place, he turned and walked towards the city, waved his hand with his back to the young man, and said, "Go back." ”

The young man watched him go.

At this time, an army of divine captains walked up to him, bowed his hand to him, and said, "Pang Junhou, He Junhou is returning from the north, and he will probably return to the camp tomorrow morning." ”

The young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Hey, he's finally back, not far away are the people of Xuanfu, the eldest brother who can't lift his energy is beside him, and the mad god is opposite, and the burden is all on me alone, which is really about to crush me." ”

The team leader looked at the energetic appearance and resisted the desire to speak.

The young man looked into the distance and said, "Where did you say that Team Lin is now?"

The team leader thought for a while and said, "It should be deep into the hinterland of Anshan." ”

The young man sighed and said, "This time the three of us are here to make a big fuss to attract the attention of those natives and alien gods to the pass, and I hope they can seize this opportunity." ”

After Zhang Yu returned to the residence of the Xue Palace, he spent a day re-examining the secret scroll, and roughly corrected several mistakes of Shang Xueling, but there were still a few details that needed to be considered.

During the examination, he could distinguish through the comparison between the paper manuscript and the ink color, and the secret scroll of this translation was roughly divided into two stages.

The first stage is paragraph by paragraph, and the content is more fragmented, while in the second stage, the content is more coherent.

This undoubtedly shows that Shang Xueling was not able to see the complete secret scroll at the beginning, but translated and read it in batches.

And he thinks that Shang Xueling should not be the only one translating this secret volume, because he can see that there are some contents in it that do not belong to Shang Xueling's own translation and reading style.

He thought about it, copied a few paragraphs from it, stuffed it into an envelope, called Li Qinghe, and said, "You send this to Zhan Shaolang, so that he can distinguish whether he can identify which translator it is." ”

He didn't have much contact with the ancient naturalists of the other palaces, on the contrary, Zhan Shaolang was the son of Zhan Gong and a student of Qiu Xueling, and he had a lot of dealings with these people.

Li Qinghe took it and said, "Sir, Qinghe will go." ”

After Zhang Yu's order, he continued to check the remaining unfinished parts.

About a summer time later, Li Qinghe turned back, handed over a letter, and said, "Sir, Zhan Shaolang has returned to the book." ”

Zhang Yu took it, opened it, and saw that Zhan Shaolang was very sure that the translations he copied should be the handwriting of his former teacher Qiu Xueling.

The letter also said that when he was a student of Qiu Xueling before, he had been following him, and most of the paperwork was handled by him at that time, so he was sure that at least Qiu Xueling had never been exposed to anything like that before the relationship between the two of them was broken.

After reading it, Zhang Yu was thoughtful.

At this time, he thought of a question, it seems that the translations of the Divine Captain Army have all been translated in the past few months, but it has been four full years since the fire in the Wenxiu Monastery has been carried out, if Yan Xulun took the secret scroll, why did he wait until today to start translating and reading?

He reasoned that the problem was that there was only half of the secret volume, so he had not been able to take any action, or rather, the action could not be carried out.

Judging from the dense scroll obtained in Shang Xueling's hand, although there are some problems with the ordering, the content is undoubtedly very complete, without any sense of separation.

This shows that it is very likely that Yan Xulun only recently obtained the other half of the secret scroll, and then began to find someone to translate it.

If this is the case, no matter where Yan Xulun got the other half of the secret scroll, the content that the two sides have now should be almost equal.

He guessed that at this time, the Divine Captain Army would most likely have secretly sent people to find that realm, but if it wasn't someone at the level of the army, then there was no need to worry too much. Because the interior of Ansan is full of all kinds of dangers, the strength has not reached a certain level, and it is impossible to cope with it.

Therefore, Xiang Chun's strategy is also good, he only needs to watch a few military candidates, and there will basically be nothing wrong.

Of course, the premise is to be able to see it.

At this time, he doesn't have to be swayed by the rhythm of the other party, just do his own thing step by step, especially this time because he needs to go deep inland, he feels that it is necessary to improve himself before he officially leaves.
