The desert is long and sandy, the sky is always dark yellow, and brown cyclone tornadoes often appear on the horizon. According to Sima Chen's inference, this is the turn of winter and spring when the weather in the Liudao desert is the worst.

This kind of weather is not suitable for the use of force even in the surrounding steppes, bad winds can demoralize the army, and the lack of food will break them.

Under such climatic conditions, even the demon tribes in the north and the barbarians in the west would be prevented from doing anything wrong. So the meaning of these two proverbs is even more intriguing.

Prior to this, although Sima Zhen did not believe that "horses jumping in the north and dogs roaring in the west" was a sign of the rise of demons and barbarians, he basically believed that there was chaos in the northwest, but from this season, it seemed impossible.

It was about Emperor Longping's country, of course, he was also quite concerned, and he had been discussing it with Gonggong An in a low voice, "The demon clan has never established a power in the Six Deserts, and the general soldiers of the three passes in the north have never sent relevant news. I have long felt that in the current peaceful and prosperous times, where does this proverb refer to any war? It is because the people of Qin Tianjian are too sensitive. ”

An Gong said: "Master Shengming, I think it is at most a trivial matter of disturbance by the border people, and now I am in Fengheng Yuda, and I am cooking oil from the fire." The demon barbarians have eaten the bear's heart, and the leopard dares to provoke without permission?"

Emperor Longping shook his head, "How can it be a trivial matter to be able to reach the eternal world? ”

Originally, he was out of sight, although he was reminded again and again by Qin Tianjian, but the emperor never bothered to pay attention. Now that he is involved in the incident and smells the ominous smell in the wind, it is inevitable that he will still be worried.

Gonggong An said with a smile: "Now that the country is safe and the people are safe, it is difficult to have major events in a hundred years, and it is difficult to choose if you want to come to Mr. Zheng, so I have to pick some trivial things and list them in the book." ”

He slapped his ass around the bush, which made Emperor Longping laugh. The original worries have also diminished a little.

Ye Xingyuan listened from the sidelines, although he had long known that Emperor Longping was by no means the king of saving time, but if he closed his eyes and listened when it was clear that the facts were already in front of him, this king would inevitably be disappointed.

The Emperor is no more than that. Ye Xingyuan sighed in his heart, the royal family has carried the mandate of heaven for more than ten generations. The so-called gentleman's Ze V was beheaded, and the royal ancestors were blue, and the hard-won deeds have now almost dissipated. With a king like this, the mandate of heaven is really uneasy.

Zhu Ning'er leaned into his ear and was eager to say something. Ye Xing had a foresight early and covered her little mouth.

In contrast, the research and discussion of the four murderers and Sima Zhen before them were much more professional. Up to now, the originally enthusiastic beggars and the King of Zhaoti were a little excited. They were knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and it was almost impossible to fight a war at such a time in such a place. And for the barbarians of the Western Regions or the Northern Demon Clan, if they want to chase the Central Plains, the direction of the strategy is definitely not the side of the Six Deserts.

These five experts reached a consensus that the so-called "horses jumping to the north and dogs screaming at the West" should not be a war.

How to interpret this sentence made them painstaking.

"The key is still in the words 'jump' and 'whoop'. "Mr. Zongshan's position is relatively neutral, and he took the lead in putting forward his own ideas," Mr. Zheng Ju used concise and concise words. We know that these two vulgar words must have their meaning. ”

The beggar retorted: "I think the key to this prophecy lies in the words horse and dog. This is where the image lies, whether it is a change in the zodiac, or a mimic, or a pure use of the meaning of the five elements? to solve this mystery can be determined. ”

King Zhaoti looked around, frowned, and said, "When you talk about dogs and horses, I think of the terrifying legends about the Six Deserts that have been circulated in our Western Regions. It is rumored that there is a strange beast at the bottom of the desert, called the sun-swallowing mastiff.

It's the Great Demon of the Ancients. Because of the chaos in the world, he was sealed here by the saints, but every nine years, he still has to go out of the customs with spirit and eat people's hearts and blood. It is the monster that the herdsmen fear the most. ”

As soon as he said this, the other two returned the favor, but Sima Zhen changed color. He asked anxiously: "The Sun Swallowing Mastiff is a monster in ancient times, it has been shot and killed several times by the emperors of the past generations, but it can always come back from the dead?

Mr. Zongshan read a lot of books, nodded and said: "It is this thing that harms the world and no one can cure it." The sage evolved the heavens and the earth with a grain of sand and sealed it in it, which is contained in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Records of Foreign Bodies", but he did not know that he was in these six deserts. ”

The ancient demons are all aliens, and they are not related to the current demon clan. Several of them belittled this monster in their words, and the demon beggar didn't care, but only said: "If this dog is in the West, it should be born in the Sun Swallowing Mastiff, this is not a trivial matter!"

In ancient times, there was no Jedi Tiantong, gods and demons walked in the world, each with great magical powers, although the sun-swallowing mastiff was powerful, but it was only one of the troubles. But today's thing, the saint intercepted the heavenly opportunity and defended the Shenzhou, although there is also the divine power of the mandate of heaven to come to the world, but where is the ability to deal with this ancient monster?

If the Sun Swallowing Mastiff really broke through the seal, it would be a big event!

The appearance of this kind of monster is not a good thing for the demon race, the barbarian race or the human race, although Mr. Zongshan and the shadow man are far away, but they don't dare to have the idea of gloating, who knows if the sun swallowing mastiff will run around.

"If the same is true," the beggar's face turned pale, "The Sun-Swallowing Mastiff appears in the west, then will I be hit by the Pegasus in the north?"

Horses jump to the north, dogs to the west. There is a Tianshui waterfall in the north of the outer region, which is the rappelling of the Tianhe. If the weather is clear on a summer night, 100,000 heavenly horses will go down the Tianhe River, bathe and drink water in the Tianshui Waterfall, and will also mingle with mortal horses, leaving behind the divine horse breed.

The horses on the northern steppes are more or less the descendants of the Pegasus hybridization. Pegasi are different from mortal horses, they are irritable, eat meat for a living, and sometimes it is not surprising that they eat people. The demon clan trembled when they encountered the Pegasus, for fear of angering it. If the so-called horse jumping north is really a hundred thousand heavenly horses sweeping the grassland, then the demon clan doesn't want to rise, it is simply a disaster to exterminate the clan!

"Don't scare yourself. King Zhaoti calmed down and said comfortingly: "This is just an explanation, not to mention that there is no real evidence. The Sun Swallowing Mastiff has been sealed for more than 3,000 years, where is there any reason to suddenly get out? Tianma and the well water of the northern demon clan do not interfere with the river water, why did something happen? Or think about other possibilities. ”

But he still left a live button in his words, and said with a dry smile: "But if this is really possible, you should ignore the past suspicions and think of a way to avoid evil together." Otherwise, the northwest will be restless, and the Central Plains and Southeast will not want to have good fruits to eat!"

Ye Xingyuan heard it from behind, and he was disdainful in his heart. Others don't say it for the time being, recruiting the Dharma King and the demon beggar is obviously a bandit logic, if the prophecy predicts the rise of the northwest, then of course they are happy to laugh at it, and they can't wait to take advantage of it to sweep the Central Plains.

But if there is any trouble, then they can unceremoniously ask for help, and even threaten to burn jade, which is really shameless.

Neither Mr. Jongsan nor the filmmaker spoke. Zongshan Castle is very deep, and although the East China Sea is remote overseas, it has always been arrogant and ambitious, intending to get involved in the Central Plains. If he wishes, he wishes that there would be chaos everywhere, so that the East China Sea would have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

And the filmmaker, as always, is mysterious and has no sense of existence, and from his appearance to the present, he has not said a word.

Sima Zhen sighed and said: "The ancient monster of the Sun Swallowing Mastiff, the heavenly horse comes from the upper realm, and does not obey the king, if they make trouble, the people will suffer from displacement, and they should do their best if I have the life to survive." ”

He peeked at Emperor Longping, he did such a rebellious thing today, and he didn't know how angry the emperor would be. If you want to kill his head, it is completely reasonable, even if he does not die, I am afraid that the position of Taishi Ling of the Sima family will not be kept.

Even if this prophecy is solved, Sima Zhen may not be able to help.

Hearing Sima Zhen say this, Gonggong An pursed his lips and said: "This Sima Zhen is really unconscious, the northwest is now a big trouble for the imperial court, if it is invaded by monsters, it is completely because of their wolf ambitions and disrespect for the education of saints."

It's already good that the Heavenly Empire doesn't fall into the ground, but do you still want to help them? It's really pedantic and confused!"

Sima Zhen leaked the prophecy to the enemy, which of course would make Emperor Longping disliked, but Emperor Longping had soft ears and might not be ruthless in dealing with this person. Therefore, Gonggong An's words can also be understood in many ways, if Emperor Longping is angry, it is to attack him for acting stupidly and confusedly, regardless of whether he is the enemy or the enemy.

If Emperor Longping still pitied his talent, it would be that he was confused in reading, so the crime would be much lighter.

Emperor Longping sighed, "The Sima family is loyal, and it is impossible for them to betray intentionally. Sima Zhen and I have watched him grow up since I was a child, and said that he had some intention to leak prophecies, which was definitely not the case, and he was still eager to learn, and he didn't know the severity. ”

He was still excusing Sima Xu, and Father-in-law An understood it as soon as he heard it, so he didn't say more.

Such a soft-hearted emperor is certainly not a bad thing for the officials of the DPRK and China. Ye Xingyuan secretly said in his heart, the early emperors of this dynasty were all masters who killed people like chopping melons and vegetables, and the founding ancestor even set an almost strict official decree, and the corrupt officials peeled their skins and filled the grass, which shocked the world for a while.

But in the later part of the dynasty, the emperors seemed to have changed their temperament, and they were merciful one by one. Among them, Emperor Longping is also a prominent one, he has been on the throne for more than ten years, and there has never been a matter of killing scholars and doctors, at most he is fined and dismissed, which has formed a relatively enlightened public opinion environment, but at the same time, it has also caused lax and corrupt officials, and corruption is already commonplace, Ye Xingyuan has seen it with his own eyes in Jingzhao Mansion.

The world is in turmoil and the country has no hero, how can the country be secured? It seems that he really has to make plans in advance, Ye Xing is far from being a fool, and he doesn't care about the details of the way, but he is thinking crankily in his heart.

The two of them walked for about half a day, and finally saw an oasis, and the beggar was overjoyed: "There is a village ahead, let's go and have a look, we will get something!"

The demon beggar took the lead and wanted to approach as soon as possible, but was stopped by Sima Chen. (To be continued.) )
