Volume 1 Chapter 193 Northland Immortal Gate
Jin Yangzi glanced inside, and saw that the warrior had fallen into close encirclement, and there was some clumsiness in the sword light, so he shook his head and didn't want to look at it again.
"Roarβ"
An inhuman roar, and the fishy wind was faint, which shocked everyone present.
Jin Yangzi let out a "huh", stared over, and saw a five-person squad rushing out of the tent, all of which were overflowing with scarlet, taking advantage of the enemy's attention to be attracted by the warriors, the sword light swirled, killing more than a dozen enemies, snatching the horse and running towards the exit.
"Ah Lang" The crowd in the open space shouted in surprise, and it was a girl who stumbled out, looking at the young samurai who rushed out: "Ah Lang, take me away"
Jin Yangzi was silent, did not block, just stared, and saw a "poof", the girl fell to the ground, and the horse's hooves trampled on her.
"Ah Lang......" The miserable scream of pain subsided sharply, and a bit of white aura rose on her body, and threw it on the young samurai, Jin Yangzi's eyes were cold, this situation ......
The young warrior's eyes seemed to be a little painful, but in the blink of an eye, they turned blood red, and the heavy cavalry were all elite in a hundred battles, and they were still intimidated and hesitated for a moment, and they rushed out without being able to intercept them.
The centurion rode his horse and saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and this fierce enemy could not help but exclaim: "Great shaman, be careful"
"Master......" shouted the young disciple who had just retreated behind him, and began to hold the mantra.
More than a dozen inner disciples were not in a hurry, and watched the development of the situation lightly.
The cold wind blew on his face, and the good horse jumped for a moment, Jin Yangzi calmed down, and the person alone bore the brunt, only staring at these people rushing in front of him, raised his hand to the young samurai, and asked with a smile: "Extraterritorial demons?"
The young warrior's gaze fell on the old man, his blood-red eyes were clear, and he smiled: "Daoist?"
A layer of yellow light flashed on his body, the long knife was pulled out, and a trace of blue light flashed, as soon as this knife appeared, the faces of the people around him changed greatly, and it could be seen that this knife was almost invulnerable, and in a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Lao Dao.
"That's it" Jin Yangzi nodded clearly, stretched out his hand, and the cold and sharp qi made the opponent fall into an ice cellar, as if the sky was punishing him, and the long knife Jin Shi struck, and the fire was shining, even a trace of knife intent was pinched and smashed, and then, like an understatement, slapped on the young warrior's head, the protective yellow light flashed and extinguished, and the whole head was shattered and exploded like a watermelon.
The man's headless body struggled forward, and a yellow gas erupted from his neck, but as soon as it came into contact with the air, it burned like a pot of oil, revealing a painful and twisted face, and with just one breath, it turned to ashes, and it no longer existed.
The yellow gas was extinguished, the headless body fell from the horse, and a white spiritual light flew out, showing the delicate face of the girl, and circled around the old man, submerged in the earth.
"Hmph, kill the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, and be blessed by the Heavenly Dao, and the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons of yours are separated from the physical body, won't they be grayed by this Heavenly Dao?" Jin Yangzi sneered, and was about to kill other people, and suddenly there was a "huh", it turned out that as soon as this young warrior died, he followed a few samurai, and he was suddenly stunned, and his expression seemed to be sober.
Seeing the Taoist in front of them, these people turned gloomy, suddenly laughed miserably, drew their knives and committed suicide, and immediately threw themselves on the ground, motionless.
These people are not extraterritorial demons, but they are warriors who have been possessed by demons and trained with blood refining secret methods, or the mutilation has been induced to have a lifespan, don't look at the sword can break through the iron armor spirit horse, only a few years of life.
After the sweep subsided, Jin Yangzi asked, and the centurion answered all questions, but the level was not high, and he knew very little, so he only smiled excitedly: "This little clan's collision with the Great Khan, so it was destroyed." β
"Collision?" Jin Yangzi was speechless, King Wei not only has elite soldiers, but also has a Golden Horde Magician, this is a Dharma protector on the same level as the Costume Magician, he couldn't please him in the past, can he be collided by this kind of small clan?
"Forget it, go over and ask and you'll find out. "On the horizon ahead, smoke rises everywhere, and the noise is faintly heard.
On the grassland, especially in Mobei, it is generally cold, there is no obvious spring, summer, autumn and winter, only the dry season and rainy season, but it is the height of summer, and the sun is still much warmer when it rises.
Compared with the ice fields that have been frozen for many years in the north, the ice fields are not really ice and snow fields, and the climate is mild in midsummer, and there is no heat at all, and it is the summer resort of the Wei kings of the past dynasties.
When the horse team approached, he saw a grand settlement, white and red tents, all of which were magnates, officials and small clan leaders from the Mobei area who came to listen to the survey, according to their status and relatives, they were divided into districts and settled, a total of 200,000 people, most of them were scattered in a hundred miles, and the small tribes gathered near the Golden Horde.
The noise of people and horses, some women get up early to remove the frost at the door, and release the cattle and sheep from the sealed thick tents, these livestock that are close to each other in the small space for warmth, cry happily in the sun, and many men pull ice sleds, go to the Qiqi River to dig ice together, or pull up the fishing nets buried at night, or hook fish with fishing gear, and bring back the crystal ice cubes by the way, which is enough for the family to use for a few days......
As soon as the children turn a blind eye, this is the ecology on the northern desert, and some of them have even done it themselves, and they have long taken it for granted.
Taoist priests are far more respected in a bitter cold place like the Northern Wei Dynasty than in the Central Plains, and even the lowest magicians can become guests of small tribes, which is not without reason.
On the one hand, for the herdsmen struggling to survive, the Taoist skills of the "Shaman" can play a greater role, on the other hand, the rough political structure of the Northern Wei Dynasty makes the cohesion and absorption of character resources far less than that of Da Cai, and the Daomen had to lower his stature and solve some practical problems among the herdsmen, which is very hard, but it is very exercised, and at the same time has a solid foundation.
This is the cohesion shaped by the environment, the White Emperor itself is endowed with the way of heaven and earth fighting, really competing for combat effectiveness, don't look at some small and medium-sized sects in the grassland The reputation is not obvious, see you on the battlefield, many famous and famous sects in the Central Plains have suffered losses, and it is really difficult to say between one loss and one gain.
At this time, Chengping is like a high cold air mass stored at the beginning of summer, and all the wind and clouds are still hidden in the vast desert north, just waiting for autumn and winter to come.
"Stand still...... Well, the Shaman Venerable "There are some haka troops patrolling along the way, and as soon as they see Jin Yangzi, they will immediately let them go."
Jin Yangzi responded with a smile, he himself was born as a herdsman, suffered a lot in his early years, and experienced ups and downs in Xianmen, and he can be regarded as a legend on the grassland.
The outer more than ten miles of inspection is not strict, the large and small tribes are scattered, most of them are ordinary gray and white tents, and the camps are mixed with people, horses, cattle and sheep, the closer to the camp inside, the white tents are gradually fewer, the red tents are gradually more, and there are even gold-inlaid felt tents, the inspection is strict, and the more neat and clean the layout, this is the powerful area.
Walk to the inner circle of the most lull back, just faintly look at the continuous gold, this gold is not a felt cloth tent, but with a special cold iron spirit wood to surround the wall that stretches for nearly ten miles, the hard village is the palace, it is the landmark building of the palace of the king of Wei, and because of the huge shape, after the completion of the wall, there is a small golden felt on the wall, which is used to cover the snow for the guards, and it looks like a huge golden tent from afar, it is the name of the golden horde.
The Golden Horde moves four seasons every year, known as the "Four Seasons Bowl", the bowl is the meaning of the palace in the grassland language, such a large palace with hundreds of thousands of core tribes, these are a large moving city. Following the nomadic migration, the length of stay at the four o'clock bowls varies, ranging from about two months to less than a month.
In spring, the eagle is released in the mixed river, the summer bowl is in the white ice field, the autumn bowl is hunted in the autumn mountain, and the winter bowl is in the north mountain...... In essence, the wall of the cold iron spirit wood is a mobile protective array, which has high requirements for the underground spiritual veins, no matter what surname is the king of the northern land, it has been fixed in four places for ten thousand years, until the spiritual veins migrate in the future.
In addition to the protection of this magic array, there is also a whole set of fixed and inherited shapes, the inside of the hard village for the palace, the outside felt car for the battalion, the family tent for the close servants, the noble relatives for the foreign servants, the pro-army for the palace guards, the military ministers for the guards, the concubines and princesses with each other, the hundred officials take turns to be the Su Zhi, the whole set of internal and external military and political systems are followed by the transfer, which also gives the surrounding tribes a strong political and military influence, and will help clean up the periphery every year.
"This is quite similar to the meaning of the imperial court of Shenzhou in the past dynasties to build the capital, take turns to orient, and expand outside Kyushu, condensed into one dynasty, Wei Shizong, who founded this method after moving north to the grassland, is considered to have a unique mind...... "Jin Yangzi thought like this, jumping off the horse, and his skills were not as sharp as the old man
The lively drum music came from the inside of the Golden Horde wall, the aroma of wine and meat was fragrant, it seemed that a grand banquet was being held, the heavy soldiers of the Haka army were guarding the door to check, some nobles and servants dismounted and lined up, and a red-robed Taoist priest came up: "Uncle, Master, Uncle, all the brothers and sisters are coming with me, the King of Wei deliberately did not go out to hunt today, and he is waiting for you inside......
The grassroots of all tribes on the grassland follow the title of the Great Khan, and in the middle and high-level, especially the high-level, the King of Wei is the official title, the five virtues flow rules, and the heavenly court only recognizes one emperor.
Jin Yangzi nodded, and dismounted and went in first.
Only separated by a wall, the sky is still the same blue sky, but there is a noisy heat wave, and the small tribes gather in it to feast, each with a bonfire, and a lot of wine and meat.
On the square within the walls of the Golden Horde, you can see pretty and lively women dancing happily everywhere, accompanied by the drums of the grassland, and the heat wave of the bonfire, which really has a summer atmosphere.
Some people gathered on the road, talking about the war with the Southern Dynasty that was really going on now, and laughed at the tribes in Shenzhou near the south that were not growing up: "It's all corrupted for the lives of the southerners......"
"Last year, a lot of large livestock died during the winter...... Ah, Shaman Venerable" someone saw that his eyes lit up, and he greeted in a loud voice: "Thanks to the Venerable Casting Spell, otherwise the snow will be over for our tribe, and the weather is getting colder and colder this year, my ministry is willing to give 100 gold, 30 spirit sheep to worship, and please ask the Venerable to help us survive the winter." β
"Well said, well said. Jin Yangzi responded with a smile, not at all to despise this little thing, as a result, more tribal nobles came around, and these were greeted by the junior disciples.
Accumulation of small amounts, starting from the end of the micro, is the way of survival of the Northland Immortal Gate.
Approaching some bonfires in the core, I heard some middle-level nobles surrounding Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughing: "What the princess said is good, this world is fighting, don't say that you can't survive the winter without grabbing something, just say that the Southern Dynasty will let us go......?"
"Snort, has the southerners ever been able to fight into the northern desert? Dare to claim to destroy us, laughing at the dead?"
"They have a good dream, they want to compress our 30 million people in this cold place before winter, even if people can keep it, but shaman spells can't support it too much, most of the livestock will definitely die, what will they eat next year"
"If you want to drive us back to Mobei, how can it be so easy to ......"
The innermost part of this is a large pure purple tent, which is open at this time, and many small and medium-sized nobles look at it, but the Northern Wei Dynasty was born in the Wei Dynasty and brought a complete set of strict official systems.
Even if the thousand-year-old adaptation in the grassland has been dispersed a lot, the majesty of the royal tent is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to venture into it.
The music in it is elegant, and with the grassland style, it is very wonderful.
There are also white-robed magicians coming over, this is the same as the cultivation of the White Emperor's lineage, and the same as the magic suit magicians trained by the Daomen for the imperial court, this is not a vain training, the so-called "cost price" also derives that in addition to Da Cai Zhengshuo, only the Northern Wei Dynasty can afford it.
At this time, he stopped the outer disciples, and looked at the inner disciples with respect: "King Wei is invited." β
More than a dozen inner disciples followed Jin Yangzi in, entered it, and saluted the purple-clothed man at the head of the seat: "The ministers have seen the king." β
