The ice fields in the north were originally barren.

The biggest specialty here is the snow wolf that occasionally appears on the ice sheets, except for the howling north wind.

A high mountain stands on top of an ice field, and it is not as rich as a snow-capped mountain. If the snow-capped mountain is a plump lady in a white jacket, then this mountain is an old man in his last years, with occasional snow on the mountain, and a large area of exposed brownish yellow earth like the skin of an old man, and the mountain looks thin and thin. But this mountain, which has been hanging in the north for thousands of years, still stands, and the snow wolf on the ice field always howls at it, but it still stands proudly on this land.

This mountain is called Pantar Mountain.

In Beiman, there are two sacred mountains, one is called Pantar, and the other is the snow-capped mountain that was broken a few days ago.

The god of the Northern Barbarians is called the god of Pantar. Therefore, the status of this Pantar Mountain is much higher than that of this snow-capped mountain.

A young man wearing a gray wolf jacket and carrying a short knife at his waist rode a white snow wolf towards this Tartar Mountain.

His lips were already chapped after a long way from their tribe to this Tartar Mountains.

It's not that a young man doesn't know how to do things, but when he comes to this sacred mountain, he must be sincere, and if he does it, it will be regarded as a great disrespect.

"Brother, this is my first time in this sacred mountain!" A young man behind him who showed half of his arms said with a little excitement in his words, standing on the back of the snow wolf, dancing with his hands.

Any Northern Barbarian who came to this Pantar Mountain would be happy from the bottom of his heart.

"I thought it was the Great Snow Mountain!" added the young man, and the Snow Wolf King writhed uneasily at his feet, for the young man was too restless, and they Snow Wolves didn't like this place.

They snow wolves like to be in places where there is snow, and the snow is their natural camouflage, which is better able to hunt and escape.

"Hey, Maharaja, this is our sacred mountain. It is rumored that without it, we would not be able to live here a long time ago. ”

Feeling the uneasiness of the snow wolf under his crotch, the young man gently patted the snow wolf, and then said to the snow wolf he called "Maharaja".

"Mohan, you will be the Maharaja of our Shuohe Department in the future, why do you also call this animal the Maharaja. ”

The cavalry behind him laughed.

On the battlefield, they were called Prince Mohan and Commander-in-Chief, but on ordinary days, they could call him by his first name, joke with him, and be friends.

Mo Han turned his head, glanced at the young snow wolf cavalry behind him, and snorted.

"The snow wolves are our companions, and if your Father hears you calling them livestock, he will whip you. If you want to become a snow wolf rider, you must respect the snow wolf, and if it weren't for your father's decision to give you the opportunity to come to the sacred mountain, I wouldn't have bothered to bring you little cubs on a pilgrimage. Those who do not have reverence will never become the strongest warrior!"

Mo Han said proudly, and even the snow wolf under his crotch exhaled a few breaths and shook his tail proudly.

The group of snow wolves riding their fathers, the young people who came to the pilgrimage all bowed their heads in shame.

"Mohan. ”

"Huh?"

Mo Han originally wanted to teach this group of cubs a lesson, but when he heard his brother's shout, he hurriedly turned his head.

It's been a month since my brother came back from the snowy mountains, and he always has a sad face, doesn't talk to anyone, and always looks at his knife every day. Since someone sent a letter, my brother planned to bring himself to this Pantar Mountain.

Now the Shuofeng Department was killed by the old general Xu Zhenwu for a while, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he didn't dare to make trouble.

Therefore, as soon as they heard that they could come to this Pantar Mountain, the old people in the snow wolf rode asked the two princes to bring their children and grandchildren on the pilgrimage.

The so-called pilgrimage is to come to worship in the temple under this Pantar Mountain, and in this temple, there is a big statue of the god of Pantar. It is said that anyone who comes to worship will be blessed by the god Pantar. However, because the temple is not open often, only those who are invited are eligible to worship. So although everyone aspires to it, few people come here.

"Later, you and I will go up, they will be guarding around the temple, remember not to make loud noises. ”

There was a glimmer of hope and tenacity in Su Qing's sad eyes.

Mohan nodded, then turned to greet the little cubs.

When they learned that Mohan was going up the mountain, they all had envy in their eyes. However, this is why they can come, all because Prince Su Qing has been invited. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enter the temple when they came.

Most people come for the temple at the foot of the mountain. But few people know that there is another temple on this Pantar Mountain.

What Su Qing and Mo Han are coming to is the temple on this mountain.

The group all jumped off the wolf's back, and the rest of the people saw the temple at the foot of the mountain, the temple door had been opened at this time, and a group of children on the northern ice field were excited.

Su Qing saw that there were already two priests in black robes standing at the entrance of the temple, so he hurriedly walked up, put his right hand on his chest, and then bowed deeply.

This is the etiquette of the North Barbarians, as a sign of respect.

The group of young men who were originally chattering did not dare to speak at this time, and hurriedly lined up in two lines and saluted the priests.

"Tuoba Qing, Tuoba Mohan, the two of you follow me up the mountain, and the rest of you, worship seriously, don't make a loud noise, the meal will naturally have a meal. ”

After finishing speaking, the two priests took Mo Han and Su Qing towards Pantar Mountain.

The temple at the foot of the mountain has only been repaired, and the colors on the body of the Pantar god are bright, and every once in a while, they will take some paint from the Central Plains Holy Dynasty to give the god who protects the ice field a layer of color.

Including the main hall, it has the style of a holy temple.

But the temple on the mountain is different, the temple on the mountain looks dilapidated, even the nine-armed Pantar Heavenly God body has broken three arms, and the color on the body has long been peeled off and exposed

The clay embryo.

But these can not affect the status of this Pantar Mountain in the Northern Barbarians.

There are a lot of wood on the mountain, and the flags hanging on them are quite spiritual flags of the holy pilgrimage.

According to the old man, these are also spirit flags, but they are all heroes. All the heroes who died for the Northern Ice Field, the souls will eventually come to this mountain.

Su Qing sighed and finally came to the temple.

The temple is built of stone, and the temple is not "god" at all, but has some earth.

He looked down, but saw a man, and was about to rush over, but the priest grabbed his arm tightly.

Seeing the priest shaking his head at him, Su Qing could only take a deep breath, followed the priest around the front door, and headed towards the back door.

He knew the people at the door just now, and their family had a deep relationship with his Tuoba family.

The man at the door had pale hair, a long sword in one hand, and a man in the other. He knelt down on one knee, fell to the ground, and just looked at the temple.

Su Qing's breathing immediately became heavy, but because of the priest, he had to leave.

This person is the Xu Ningqing he has been looking for, if he finds Xu Ningqing, he can find his parents, and the person in Xu Ningqing's arms is Xu Chang'an, who lives and dies with him.

They bypassed the front door and entered through the back door.

The two priests led the two into the temple, only to see an old man in black robes who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two priests walking up to the old man and bowing, Su Qing and Mo Han immediately understood that this person must be the high priest.

The two also stepped forward and saluted, and then were helped up by the old man.

"Tuoba Mohan, what do you think of the war between the Northern Barbarians and the Central Plains, whether it was the Ji Dynasty back then, the Holy Dynasty today, or even older dynasties, the Central Plains broke out with us. The old priest looked up slightly, and an old face appeared under the broken idol.

"It's nothing, in fact, the main thing is that there is not enough food on the ice field, otherwise whoever wants to fight is to survive. If every year is like this year, the Central Plains can give some food, what kind of war will we fight!" Mo Han scratched his head and said.

This answer was clearly unexpected by the high priest.

"But over the years, years after years of expeditions, many of our fathers and brothers on the ice field have died on the battlefield. ”

Mo Han frowned, Su Qing was afraid that Mo Han would say the wrong thing, and was about to remind his younger brother, but was glared at by the high priest.

"It's all about surviving, there are also many people in the Central Plains who have died in our hands, if we keep fighting, everyone won't live!"

Mohan seemed a little annoyed, and continued, "Just to survive, and ......"

He gritted his teeth, as if he was a little afraid of the high priest, but finally continued, "Besides, the people on the ice field have been giving birth and giving birth, and they are born when they have nothing to do at night, so they have less to eat, and war can also consume a certain number of people. It's the same with the Holy Pilgrimage, they spit out so much, but the population keeps rising, no one sacrifices, and in the end everyone has to starve to death. ”

Hearing this, Su Qing's face turned pale.

"Presumptuous, they are all compatriots, how can you say these words, you actually dislike them as a burden! Kneel down and confess your mistakes in front of the gods!" When Su Qing said this, he glanced at the high priest and found that the high priest had closed his eyes and raised his head.

Seeing the high priest's actions, Su Qing was even more frightened.

But in order to save his younger brother, he can only make him admit his mistake as soon as possible.

Mohan is a well-known little wolf cub on the ice field, but when he meets his brother, he becomes a little goat, and when his brother says one, he will never say two. During the disappearance of his parents, his brother was his father and brother, so he listened to his brother very much.

Mo Han was about to kneel, but found that he couldn't kneel.

He was stunned for a moment, and looked at the high priest at the same time as Su Qing in puzzlement.

The high priest opened his eyes, sighed, and lifted Mohan, who had bent down, up.

"It's rough words, but that's the truth of the world. ”

Not to mention Su Qing, even Mo Han was stunned when he heard this.

"The essence of war is to compete for resources, so don't have any hatred towards the people of the Central Plains, although the hatred between them has deepened over the past thousand years. But in fact, there is no enmity between the two sides, let alone anything wrong, just to survive. ”

The high priest patted Mo Han on the shoulder and continued to smile, "Back then, we and the people of the Central Plains did not distinguish between each other and defeated the enemy together; this time, you can also be regarded as assisting with the army of the Holy Dynasty, and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both sides." ”

Mohan thought about it, and his fear of the high priest was gone.

"Their individual combat effectiveness is not as good as ours, but they advance and retreat in an orderly manner and cooperate better than us. ”

The High Priest nodded, and then asked, "If you encounter the same enemy again this time, would you rather defeat them first and then kill that kind of enemy, or would you like to kill them together?" ”

Mo Han didn't think about it this time, so he said directly, "Of course, we are the ones who kill those people who are not people, and those who are not beasts." ”

"Tell me why. The High Priest's eyes lit up.

"Those guys are so ugly, we're all human beings, what the hell are they. ”

When he heard this, the high priest laughed.

"It's clumsy, yes, that's the reason. ”

The high priest patted Mohan on the shoulder and said, "Remember, you will be the Lord of the Ice Plain in the future, and you must remember today's words. ”

Mo Han scratched his head and said helplessly, "I don't want to be a monarch, it's too troublesome." I just want to be my brother's general, and I will fight whoever he tells me to fight. The Maharaja has too many questions to think about, to think about how to feed everyone, and how not to be bullied by outsiders. ”

The high priest's eyes were full of appreciation.

"That's right,

So you will already be a Maharaja, and being a Maharaja is to solve these problems. ”

Mohan froze in place.

The high priest looked at Su Qing.

"What is Xu Changan to you?"

"Brothers who live and die together. ”

The High Priest nodded, and he was not surprised by this answer.

"If you sacrifice your Tuoba family's bloodline to save him, would you be willing?"

Hearing this, Su Qing lowered his head.

"Tell me your answer, isn't he your brother?" the high priest pressed in.

"I can sacrifice myself, even if it's my life, but the Tuoba family is not mine alone, this can't be done. ”

The high priest looked at Mo Han, who was stunned on the side, sighed and said, "Then change the question, if the sacrifice of the Tuoba family can save many, many people, are you willing?"

"How much? If it's two, I don't want to. Four or five thousand, and they don't want to. Although Su Qing didn't know why the high priest asked like this, he still said what he thought in his heart.

"Millions, even tens of millions. The High Priest stared at Su Qing with a pair of eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Yes!" Su Qing did not hesitate now.

"It's all pilgrims. ”

"Yes, too. ”

The High Priest finally smiled, and his tone softened.

"Tell me your reasoning. ”

"Because my Tuoba family has four or five thousand people, and my Tuoba family has four or five thousand people to save one person, is he more expensive? But if it is ten thousand, then it is worth sacrificing our Tuoba family, because one life is exchanged for two lives!"

The chief priest breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad!"

"If you use your Tuoba family's inability to cultivate since you to save someone who may be able to save the world, are you willing?"

"I will, if that man can save the world. Su Qing immediately replied.

"But your juniors, what qualifications do you have to make decisions for them. ”

"If they don't save that person, what qualifications do they have to come out, maybe they can't have them at all, why should they object? Su Qingfa asked.

The high priest laughed, and laughed heartily.

"Tuoba Qing, your Tuoba family is also a half-demon, and you belong to the lineage of Tuoba Heavenly God. ”

Hearing this, Su Qing and Mo Han were shocked at the same time.

"Now that the demon clan is ravaging, only the Demon Sealing Sword Body has a chance to quell the war. Therefore, you need to activate your bloodline, and use the power of your bloodline to activate the Nine Dragons Talisman that has been sealed. But after this move, your talent will be greatly reduced, and maybe you and your brother's descendants will be just ordinary people. ”

Only then did Su Qing understand why the high priest was asking those questions just now.

"Good!"

"Anyway, I haven't cultivated, so it won't affect my son, right?"

Both voices rang out at the same time, causing the high priest to laugh.

The stone in Su Qing's heart also let go, it is naturally a great thing that Xu Changan can be saved, he is not only his brother, but also his uncle. If he doesn't save it, what kind of face does he have to see his master?

"Then why is Senior Xu Ningqing still kneeling at the door?" Su Qing suddenly remembered the scene just now.

The High Priest sighed and said, "Actually, before you came, I thought you would agree. But to save him, it takes at least a peak Open Heaven Realm to use all his life's strength to help him dredge the meridians, activate the Nine Dragon Talisman, and seal it again, because if he doesn't seal it, he is afraid that the power of the Nine Dragon Talisman will kill Xu Changan. After all, the current Demon Sealing Sword Body is too weak!"

"Only one peak Kaitian seals with his body, which guarantees that nothing will happen. As for the power in the Nine Dragons Talisman, we can only wait for the Demon Sealing Sword Body to grow slowly, and then unlock it!"

"So Xu Ningqing, senior, he wants to sacrifice himself......" Su Qing is very smart.

"Yes, but he has more important things to do, so I can't promise him. ”

Su Qing frowned, this peak Open Heaven Realm is not a cabbage, how can it be so easy to find.

"High Priest, you just said that the Nine Dragons Talisman...... Does that mean it belongs to our Tuoba family?"

The high priest nodded, and simply told Su Qing everything.

"Yes and no, that Nine Dragons Talisman is made of flesh and blood, and the Pantar Heavenly God personally used this Nine Dragons Talisman to seal that group of demons into that place, and your Tuoba family has a trace of the blood of the Pantar Heavenly God, so it belongs to your family. ”

Su Qing's heart moved.

"Could it be that this Nine Dragon Talisman is ......"

"Yes, Changsheng!"

......

Zeng Fuzi also came to the temple.

He lowered his head and said "I'm sorry" first.

Xu Ningqing shook her head and didn't blame the old master.

Zeng Fuzi suddenly stood up, plucked up his courage and said, "High Priest, how about you see me coming to save Xu Chang'an?"

This sentence interrupted the conversation between Su Qing and the high priest, but Mo Han didn't understand it, but he didn't react.

But the remaining three people were all surprised!

There's a lot of content, and there's a chapter during the day, so sleepy, good night.

The chapter that ended the day at the end of the volume, estimated at 6,000 words, is now 5,000 words.

(End of chapter)
