Chapter 22: The Seven Sages Save the World
Que Wan'er's words aroused Ling Ye's curiosity. He asked, "What are you talking about about the Lost Kingdom, what is the origin?"
Que Wan'er smiled slightly: "You really want to know?"
Ling Ye nodded earnestly. Que Wan'er said: "Brother Ling, I want to remind you that this story is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and it is absolutely forbidden to talk about it in the empire. You look like you're going to be the celebrity of Wu Peng soon, the upstart of the Empire, and if you believe in some strange things, you're likely to be kicked down. ”
Ling Ye said: "It's okay, you can say it, I like to listen." Besides, I'm not very interested in the Empire. ”
Que Wan'er said: "Okay, then you can listen well." Do you know where the name Frost Continent came from?"
Ling Ye said: "Don't test me, I don't know." ”
Que Wan'er said: "Alas, your father told you the story of the goddess who made people from the soil, but didn't he tell you the origin of the Tianshuang Continent? A long time ago, for thousands of years, there used to be a powerful empire in the center of the Frost Continent, yes, you guessed it, it was called the Frost Empire. ”
"The Frost Empire is a very militaristic dynasty that uses brutal repression to maintain its rule. Under its rule, the people of the empire were divided into several classes, the highest of which was naturally the emperor, followed by the princes and nobles, then the samurai class, then the commoners, and finally the slaves. The status of the slave was the lowest, most of the time it was inferior to a dog, and the commoners were slightly better, but because of the heavy taxes, life was also very hard. The nobles and even the samurai did not treat the people as human beings, and the slightest clash or resistance between commoners and slaves was punished with brutal capital punishment. ”
Such a brutal rule certainly provoked a revolt against the people who wanted to overthrow the tyrannical empire. However, the Frost Empire has a powerful army and mines that make weapons, and the people rarely even have iron, and most of the time they use agricultural tools made of wood. The results of using wooden weapons to fight iron armor weapons can be imagined, and the Tianfrost Empire also has a killer feature, that is, their emperor has a bloodline called the blood of the emperor that has been passed down from generation to generation. It was an incomparable force that gave the Emperor a powerful ability to stand alone in the world, and the assassin killer would be oppressed to death by coercion and oppression before he could get close to the Emperor's body. Despite repeated uprisings and some victories, they were quickly suppressed. The rule of the Frost Empire is still solid, and the people are still living in dire straits. ”
"When the people were about to despair, seven men wrapped in silver-gray robes came to the people and led them to revolt once more. This group of people also has a very strong power, which can kill opponents with bare hands, and will heal quickly after being injured. People were amazed by this miraculous power, and they all believed that they were messengers of the gods, so they worshipped them wholeheartedly, and supported them to defeat the empire's armies again and again, and finally conquered most of the empire's territory, and fought under the empire's capital city. ”
"The emperor didn't grow up on a vegetarian diet, so he ran out of the city gate to fight the group alone. It was a battle that should have gone down in history, but because the current Silver Moon Empire destroyed the relevant books, people can only imagine the earth-shattering battle under the Jingshi Castle back then...... After a long period of flying sand and rocks, those who were wrapped in their whole bodies defeated the emperor with the blood of the emperor, and finally wiped out the Tianshuang Empire and established a new dynasty, which became the Divine Datong Dynasty. ”
"The new dynasty valued the people and treated all them equally, abolished many of the empire's harsh taxes and taxes, and allowed the people to live in peace and happiness. People are grateful to the group of people who led the people to rise up and overthrow the tyrannical empire, and they are honored as the Seven Sages. This epic story is known as the Legend of the Seven Sages of Salvation. ”
Ling Ye said, "Isn't that great?"
Que Wan'er smiled: "Good is often just the beginning, and after the beginning, it will start to become a tragedy or tragedy." After the Seven Sages saved the world, they didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the dynasty, meditated behind closed doors all day long, and the power gradually fell into the hands of the generals. The general himself is also an ambitious person, he has secretly cultivated many pro-confidants, and it is said that he has also obtained the divine power of the blood of the emperor, and he is almost invincible in the world. Then, on a dark and windy night, they launched a surprise attack, burning to death all the seven sages who had sealed themselves on the mountain behind the palace and seized power...... You can guess who this is, right? That's right, you're smart, this general is the first emperor of the Silvermoon Empire. ”
Midnight: "...... The dynasty that has been robbed!"
Que Wan'er nodded: "After the general burned the Seven Sages, he announced to the world that the Seven Sages are actually not people, but a group of witches and witches who pretend to be gods and ghosts, and it is forbidden for people to talk about anything strange and chaotic, especially the legend of the Seven Sages to save the world, and violators will be severely punished or even beheaded." This is the reason why the current Silvermoon Empire is not allowed to talk about ghosts and gods. ”
Ling Ye: "That's how it came from. ”
Que Wan'er smiled again, and a hint of ridicule appeared on her face: "The Silver Moon Empire has confiscated and destroyed almost all the books that mention that period of history, and killed thousands of Confucian scholars who are proficient in that period of history, and the people secretly call it 'Book Burning and Pit Confucianism'. The Empire's purpose in doing this, of course, is to completely silence people and erase that period of black history that is not very glorious. It's a pity that the so-called defense of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, the empire is bent on eliminating that period of black history, but someone secretly preserved the relevant books of that period of black history, so that period of black history is still known, and justice still exists in people's hearts. ”
Ling Ye couldn't help asking, "Who is so bold that he risked being killed and left those books?"
Que Wan'er smiled slightly: "I don't know the name of this person, but there is a person in his descendants that you should have heard of." ”
Ling Ye said: "Cold as frost?"
As soon as the words came out, he quickly covered his mouth, but how could he still take back or block the words he said?
He was embarrassed for a long time, and then said: "Ahem, I guessed wrong, it can't be as cold as frost." ”
Que Wan'er gave him a blank look: "I know that you always think about people in your heart, right? Haha, don't be shy, just kidding." Okay, I'm not going to tease you, you must have heard of this person's name, and he has a close connection with Wu Peng...... His name is Iron Palace!"
