"My generation likes to learn swords, and I have lived in Hantan for ten years..."

The falling droplets of crystal water reflected the face of the border general who was terrified to the extreme because of his awakening.

......

The straight edge of the black water is gradually weakened by the riverbed along the way, and the flow of the lake formed by the meltwater of the glaciers in the high mountains becomes indistinguishable, and even the strange black color disappears naturally, becoming absolutely pure.

The terrain is getting gentler, the snow line disappears, and large areas of tundra wasteland appear.

This is pasture in early summer, but at this time there is no grass, and the cattle and sheep rely on the hay prepared in the summer.

The more difficult the living environment, the more simple to meet the minimum needs of survival, the more awe of heaven and earth, and the more meticulous the observation of the surrounding changes.

The gaze of a herdsman on the edge of a flock lingered for a long time in the sky above a stream in the distance.

He is an ordinary herdsman, and the skin on his face is like the bark of a dried mulberry tree, which has turned into a distinctive sauce purple due to the sun and cold of the plateau, accompanied by many traces of frostbite.

The sky he was looking at was a swarm of vultures circling over the sky, and the vultures had been circling for a long time, but they seemed to remain fearful and did not fall.

Vultures are also like gods to the herdsmen of these wastelands, and when they appear in large numbers, they are accompanied by the aging and death of living beings.

However, such a picture is too unusual for him.

First of all, he was sure that not a single cow or sheep in his flock or herd had been lost, and that it was reasonable that there could be no death in that place at such a time of season, which attracted a large number of vultures.

The most important thing is that vultures will only appear quietly when the creatures are really on the verge of death, and have a keen perception of death beyond all other creatures, when the vultures arrive, the dying creatures will die quickly, and then the vultures will swarm down, devouring the flesh and blood, and eventually the bloody breath of these vultures tearing at their prey will attract the jackals in the distance, and eventually bite the bones into pieces.

The vulture hovers for a long time, but it never falls, this is an out-of-phase.

The herdsman became a little nervous, reverently coiled the rosary in his hand, and shouted a few times, calling the two sons who were turning the hay, and the three rode their horses towards the place.

They soon let out a cry of terror.

The reason for the vulture's hovering was that there was a corpse on the bank of the stream.

The corpse should be a young boy, but it seems that it does not belong to their world at all, some of the remaining rags on the body look extremely luxurious, the most terrifying thing is that there are many red lines on the young man's body, those lines are like scars, but they are extremely straight, deep into the body, and what is even more terrifying is that there seems to be some kind of terrible aura in those red lines.

This is the kind of aura that makes those vultures hover and dare not fall.

This was definitely a terrible omen for these herdsmen, or a reminder from the gods, so the three herdsmen were extremely panicked, two of them stayed far away to wait for the corpse, while the other herdsman ran as fast as he could, telling the tribal leader and the sorcerer the message.

Further south, the wasteland is still wide and sparsely populated, but there are some cities.

One of the most majestic is the one that occupies the entire empty space of the mountain, and the top of the hill is densely packed with red and white palaces, and at the foot of the mountain are loess bungalows.

This is the imperial city of Donghu.

Prior to this, the imperial city of Donghu also underwent a drastic change.

An old monk who came with a staff in his hand washed the imperial city in blood, and directly entered the deepest part of the palace by himself, killing Emperor Donghu.

Then the prince Yelu Cangwolf, who had been expelled from Donghu, was welcomed back from the border, taking over the throne of Donghu, and triggering an even more brutal bloodbath.

It's just that the brutal bloodbath was only aimed at those monks who were loyal to the Donghu Emperor and cruelly enslaved the serfs in the depths of the imperial city.

The group with the highest cultivation among those monks had been directly killed by the old monk, and the remaining monks had almost no ability to resist.

The new emperor Yelu blue wolf almost adapted to local conditions to follow the Changling reform, issued an imperial decree, as long as one of the serfs can become a warrior recognized by the imperial city, the owner of the serf family can be reborn, free, completely rid of the status of serfs, and can own their own land.

To become a recognized samurai, you don't necessarily need enough force, but you need enough courage.

This is hope.

The situation of the serfs in Donghu is far more miserable than the situation of the ordinary people in Changling in the past, not only the wife, children, but even their own lives do not belong to themselves, and they can be taken away by the nobles at any time, plus the head of the Donghu nobles is shrouded in the shadow of the direct killing of the old monk, so the change of the new emperor of Donghu Yelu Cangwolf did not cause a strong backlash at all, but quickly won the fanatical support of all the serfs, this emotion, even like faith.

It is difficult to explain the matter of faith, Donghu is vast and sparsely populated, and the spread of information is more difficult than any dynasty outside, but at this time, in any remote corner of Donghu, in the mouths of those herdsmen and serfs, the old monk and the new emperor Yelu Cangwolf have already become gods and Buddhas sent by the gods to save them.

But at the same time, it is also faith that deals with faith, and those who have been suppressed have also fabricated many ominous omens to spread the new emperor Yelu wolf's changes to anger the gods.

Out of genuine love for the new emperor and fanatical religious support, fearing that this strange corpse was some kind of ominous omen brought by the heavens, this corpse was more properly guarded by the herdsmen of the most marginal tribes of Donghu, and the news was transmitted to the Donghu palace at a speed unimaginable to the army.

More than a dozen cultivators quickly rushed there, including many of Yelu Blue Wolf's cronies, his lieutenant general in the army, and the Grandmaster cultivator of the Seven Realms.

These cultivators could easily judge the time of death of this corpse and the identity of the cultivator, and saw that the red threads on the body were the marks left by a shocking sword intent cutting through the body, but they couldn't understand why this corpse appeared there, and why the sword intent in the body had not yet shattered, etc.

Even the Grandmasters of the Seven Realms were incomprehensible, and this was even more unusual.

......

"An alien boy, who just died, has a subtle and straight sword wire that runs through his body..."

The military intelligence was produced in great detail, and even the physical characteristics of the teenager were described, and even drawings were used.

It's just still hard to understand.

"According to this fragment of clothing, this should be related to your Great Qin, but how could the Qin people go to that kind of border wasteland?"

In the camp tent of the Wu clan, the old woman looked at the military information transmitted from Donghu, frowned, looked at Ding Ning and asked.

As time passed, more and more definite clues proved that Ding Ning's inference was correct, and when the ice and snow melted in the spring, Qin would use troops against Chu. So for her, it was natural to associate these two things.

It's just that that place doesn't seem to have any impact on the situation in Donghu, and there can't be any conspiracy that can absolutely fight between Qin and Chu.

"Some things are not that complicated, especially after a breakthrough, and then there are no other associations. ”

Ding Ning looked at her and said, "Although the news of Changling has not yet arrived, the old things that I turned up before I came have had an effect, and An Baoshi is dead." ”

"Ann boulder?" the old woman thought she had misheard.

"The physical appearance of this portrait of the military intelligence is very similar to An Baoshi, I have seen An Baoshi. Ding Ning said directly.

The old woman said in a daze, "Ran'an is in Changling, thousands of miles away from that place. ”

"There is a sword washing pool in the Lingxu Sword Gate, and the water in the sword washing pool comes from the sword intent refining of the Void Realm, and the Void Realm was left by a great master when the Lingxu Sword Gate was established, which is equivalent to using the sword intent to open up a passage to the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi somewhere. ”

Ding Ning looked at the old woman and said slowly: "No one knew where the Void Realm was communicating before. ”

The old woman finally understood, and said in shock: "You mean, the Void Realm of the Spirit Void Sword Gate communicates with the land of Donghu's other domain?"

Ding Ning nodded and said, "As long as the news from Changling comes, if An Baoshi finally throws himself into the Void Realm and wants to escape from the Void Realm, there will be no doubts." ”

The old woman calmed down, sighed and remained silent.

Some things will become eternal puzzles, just not happen to meet someone with that kind of terrible insight.

In her opinion, Ding Ning was able to easily deduce that such a seemingly completely unconnected, or even impossible thing to happen, was not because he had seen An Baoshi, but because he had such a terrifying insight.

Ding Ning also fell silent.

His breathing was a little heavier than usual.

Because it is true that only a very few people know that the reason why the Void Realm can be achieved is because the great master of the Spirit Void Sword Sect has been to that mysterious place and left his natal sword there.

His natal sword echoed the magic circle in the Sword Hall of the Spirit Void Sword Gate, and it was only then that a stable Void Realm was finally formed.

And now, Ding Ning just lacks a sword.

The last flower remnant sword is more because of nostalgia.

In the end, facing Yuan Wu and Zheng Sleeve, he must have a sword that is strong enough to carry and withstand his future sword intent.

He has not easily chosen a sword that will be used as a natal sword in the future, because he must be extremely cautious and cannot have the slightest possibility of failure.

After continuing the Heavenly Divine Formula, in his plan, it was Spring Solstice Chu to find a sword that was strong enough.

Chu is the first in the world.

Only now, the sword appeared outside of his plans.

Some things are accidents and accidents.

It's just that it's just one of the countless possibilities that have been swirling in my mind for a long time.
