Volume 1 Sunset Harvest Chapter 94 What is the night
Things in the world are often so unexpected.
They were ready to die in the palace just to find the jade talisman, but no one thought that at the beginning, they had already found the trace of the jade talisman.
It seems like a no-brainer.
If it was Liang Zhao and Zhichan who were with the monarch of Southern Chu, I was afraid that he should think more about it at this time, but now it was Gu Ming, he didn't know that story, so he couldn't think too much.
He looked at the woman, and the woman was looking at him.
After a while, Gu Meng repeated, "Hello. ”
He didn't see anything wrong with that woman, and even on her, he didn't even feel the slightest hint of a cultivator's breath, but in this place, no matter how perfect the other party was, no matter how no problem was, there was a problem.
The woman suddenly lowered her head and began to cry again, asking in a low voice as she wept, "Who are you?"
Gu Meng didn't say anything, in such a strange place, he met such a strange woman, and all the answers didn't seem to be appropriate.
"How did your husband die?"
The best way not to answer the other person's question is to ask a question yourself.
Obviously, in such an environment, the woman was most concerned about the man lying in the mourning hall, so when Gu Meng asked this question, the woman cried even louder, and her tears rained down like rain, and it took a while to calm down.
"My husband died of illness, he treated me very well, he was a teacher, and the people in the city respected him very much, but who knows, such a person actually died of illness like this, God is not reasonable at all!"
"He is obviously so knowledgeable, everyone thinks he is a good person, he even has to blame himself for stepping on an ant to death for a long time, if I didn't force him, he wouldn't even eat chickens and ducks, how can such a guy die?"
"There are so many sinful people in the city, why don't they die, why do they die if it is my husband?"
After listening to these patiently, Gu Meng said softly: "Things in the world are not fair, even if there is really God, maybe he is very busy, and it is normal to make some mistakes occasionally, maybe he is also very sad at this time." ”
comforting the woman, Gu Meng had never done it, but listening to these words, he felt a little, especially since this matter also involved the so-called fate.
Speaking of fate.
He felt that his fate was not good.
The woman didn't know if she had listened to her, but she never spoke.
Gu Meng asked, "Can we go and see him?"
This is another problem, these two problems, completely make women forget their previous problems.
The woman nodded, unable to open her mouth at the sound of crying.
She kept choking, and Gu Meng was even a little worried that she would cry to death.
Entering the mourning hall, Liu Yi asked, "Let's not take the jade talisman, what are we going to see here?"
Her voice was low, afraid of alarming the woman.
Gu Meng said: "I bet, if you want to rob her jade talisman at this time, probably we will be in trouble immediately." ”
There is no basis for this statement, but an intuition.
In fact, along with intuition, there is also a dull pain in the chest.
Since he was a child, Gu Ming's chest would ache whenever he encountered the kind of danger that touched life and death, and that kind of pain seemed to come from the heart, there was no law to follow, and it would only be like this when his life was really in danger.
With such a thing, Gu Meng had avoided at least a few killings.
This time he explored the Great Power Cave Mansion, when he met the frog before, he didn't feel it, but after entering this city, he felt pain in his chest.
It wasn't obvious, but it was a wake-up call.
Gu Meng came to the spiritual seat, only glanced at it, and found that the man's name was Baochang, and then he turned his head and looked at the coffin that was parked in the mourning hall.
Gu Meng walked over slowly, and Liu Yi and Li Xiang stood in place, not knowing what Gu Meng was going to do.
Walking to the coffin, Gu Meng stretched out his hand to drag a corner, lifted it slightly, and then retracted his hand and returned to the two of them.
"How?"
Liu Yi asked, "I think it's better to have fun after a long time, and in the end, I have to fight." ”
Gu Meng shook his head, but didn't explain anything.
When she walked out of the mourning hall, the woman didn't speak, as if she was too sad, so she didn't do anything.
This courtyard is not small, Gu Meng sat down under a long corridor, and then began to be in a daze.
Liu Yi has always felt inexplicable, she has no idea why this good-looking companion is so weird, she wants to ask, but she doesn't know how to ask for a while.
Li Xiang remained silent because he felt that he should not speak at this time.
Sitting under the corridor, Liu Yi felt a little bored, and at this time, she saw a man walking over at the end of the corridor.
The man was dressed as a writer, and looked like a Confucian student, not very old, probably middle-aged, about the same age as the woman.
Gu Luo didn't look up, and Liu Yi had already lost his voice and shouted, "Baochang!"
Yes, somehow, she thought that the man in front of her was the woman's husband.
The man was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It's me." ”
Liu Yi didn't understand why this dead person still appeared in front of him.
At this time, Gu Meng raised his head, he looked at the man and said, "Sure enough, that's the case." ”
He had lifted the coffin before, and found that the coffin was too light, and it didn't look like someone was in it at all.
If there is no so-called dead person in the coffin, it means that there are many situations, but the most likely thing is that the person is not dead.
Baochang said apologetically: "My wife has been so crazy a few years ago because of the early death of her child and hysteria. ”
Gu Meng snorted, the pain of losing a child is really hurting a person.
"Where are the guests coming from?"
Bao Chang looked at them and asked another question.
Gu Meng looked at him, and this time he replied very seriously, "We are from outside the city." ”
Hearing this, Bao Chang suddenly became extremely angry, "Do you want to deceive me?"
Liu Yi didn't know why, but he still insisted: "We are indeed from outside the city. ”
"Nonsense!"
"Zhaotian has already been besieged, how can you pass through those armies and come to the city?
Baochang's whole body was trembling, he pointed at Gu Luo and the three of them with his fingers, looking at him with extreme anger.
Liu Yi didn't know what this meant at all, she lived on the island all the year round, and many things were not clear, as for what Li Xiang thought of, she was also confused.
Only Gu Ming, he raised his head and asked, "This is Zhaotian?"
Bao Chang sneered: "You guys are from outside the city, I don't know what kind of place this is?"
Liu Yi pulled the corner of Gu Ming's clothes and asked in a low voice, "What is Zhaotian?"
Before the two dynasties of Daqi and Daying dominated the north and south, after many years of conquest in this world, countless countries were established and died here, and before these small countries, the last dynasty that dominated the world was called Daning.
Even in today's world, there are Southern Tombs and North Tombs, all because of the imperial tombs built after the death of the emperor who established Daning.
The imperial mausoleum separates the north and the south, so there is the saying that the south tomb and the north tomb.
It's just that although the Daning Dynasty fell apart, no one could enter the imperial tomb, it is said that Emperor Ning Qi was the strongest person in this world for thousands of years, cultivating to the sky, and there was a secret method to seal his imperial tomb, so that no one could enter it.
And Zhaotian City is the imperial capital of the Daning Dynasty.
After the collapse of the Daning Dynasty, this imperial capital has long been abandoned.
No wonder when I walked into this city before, I felt that the layout here was a shadow of a salty mall, and then I knew that where is the shadow of the salty mall in this city, but it is the salty mall that has the shadow of the city.
In terms of prosperity, the city of Zhaotian in its heyday was stronger than any other city.
Gu Meng can infer from Baochang's words that the era in which he lived should be the last state of the Daning Dynasty, when Daning was in decline and the army was in turmoil, and a few years later, they invaded Zhaotian City, completely ending the era of the Daning Dynasty.
According to historical records, Zhaotian City was not actually breached by outsiders, but the food in the city was cut off, and it was only then breached.
There are only a few sentences in the history book to describe that period of history, but those who know know it, and this is definitely not such an understatement.
For example, Zhaotian City ran out of food a few months ago, why did it take a few months before the city was broken?
Thinking of this, Gu Meng couldn't help but think again, if this city is real, then what is the identity of that great power?
Could it be that that person should also be a certain Daning royal family?
Gu Meng also had contact with the royal family of Daning, not to mention anything else, just the sword scripture he learned was left by Wanyun Zhenren.
Wanyun Zhenren is the royal child of Daning.
"When is it at this moment, at the end of the seventh year of Zhongping, and it is almost the wax moon?"
Gu Meng had read the history books and knew that the last rebellion began in the second half of the seventh year of Zhongping.
Bao Chang frowned, he didn't know what the young man in front of him was talking about, but the ghost sent the gods, so he still opened his mouth and replied: "It's going to be Layue soon." ”
Gu Meng nodded, so that the time was right, at this time, the rebels had only besieged the city for less than a month, and there was still food left in the city.
"Do you think you can win?" Gu Meng asked in a low voice.
At this time, the thirteen state capitals of Daning were all lost, and only the last imperial capital of this dynasty remained, how could it resist the hundreds of thousands of rebels and the cultivators who couldn't tell.
"Why not, as long as we hold on, the Northern Army in the north will soon rush south to help!"
Gu Meng didn't speak, in the history books, there were 200,000 people in the imperial northern army, and most of the soldiers were cultivators, but in the first year of Zhongping, they went to the north to resist the rebellious bandits, and they did not appear again until Daning disappeared.
The 200,000-strong army never rushed to help.
They disappeared as if they never existed.
