Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The thing I want to talk about today was born in a very ancient year, and it was a completely chaotic time.
It is said that it snowed heavily for three months in a certain royal city in the north that year. The tyranny of the emperor and the excesses of the donation, the people suffered unbearably, and even the tragedy of cannibalism within three miles was sometimes alive. Later, a good deed person made up a few ballads for him: "The city of water and land in all directions, but the Son of Heaven is empty, and he is cruel to the flesh and blood of jackals, and he does not want the people to suffer." ’
On a snowy night, the lights were still dim in a mansion in the royal city. In the study, an old man was reading a history book at night. It was a rare comfort, but it was suddenly interrupted by an anxious voice from outside the door: "Master, come and see the sky, what's wrong in the sky?!"
When the old man heard the apprentices shouting outside the door, he couldn't help frowning, and a sense of foreboding appeared inexplicably, so he hurriedly got up and pushed the door, only to see the apprentices in the courtyard staring at the northwest dry sky in horror.
At this moment, the snow had stopped, the courtyard was covered with snow, and under the moonlight, I saw that the night sky in the northwest direction had a vision out of thin air, and a huge and strange star appeared in the sky out of thin air. Its star is about half a moon in size, shining with a strange halo, flickering and bright, and the large Qiantian star map is actually disrupted by it.
The old man's face was full of shock when he saw this star, the cool breeze blew, and the cold sweat had melted before he could cross his forehead, only to see him look at the star and say to his apprentice, "When did it appear?"
The apprentice replied in horror: "When you just got up at night to release the grass, what was that, master?!"
The old man looked straight at the anomalous star, and after a long while, he sighed: "It's useless to sue you, you clean up now, and then inform everyone, in three days, we will leave the city and go to the mountains to live in seclusion!"
"Why are we leaving!" the apprentice said to the old man in great confusion, "And you are a 'Heaven Watching Sacrifice', if you leave like this, what if the king blames you?"
The old man sighed and didn't pay attention to it, he just stared blankly at the star in the sky, and then muttered: "The disaster star is in the world, the omen of the country." Now that the life is still unknown, how can we covet the title of Yulu? Fortune and misfortune are fleeting. Anyway, it doesn't look like there will be any more peaceful days tomorrow. ”
After speaking, the old man stopped talking, but thought about the calamity, the wind rose, rolled up the snow in the courtyard, and the dawn was approaching.
It is only a few hours before dawn, and these hours are only a fleeting moment for a person's life, and for history, these hours are the last stable time before the prologue of another era is unveiled.
Sure enough, when the sky was bright the next day, a team of cavalry in the royal city hurriedly came to the house of Guantian to worship Qiao Zimu, and told him that the king had something important to pass Qiao Zimu into the palace.
The old Qiao Zimu didn't sleep all night, he sighed, what should have come has come after all. So he instructed his apprentice a few words, and then entered the palace with the cavalry.
It seems that this morning, something strange happened in the royal city. So much so that it alarmed the king, so he summoned the fire and worshipped the heavens.
Looking at the pale face of the pot-bellied Wang, Qiao Zimu sighed, he naturally understood that this was caused by the hollowing out of his body by the wine, so he bowed down and asked the reason for the matter.
Wang was also full of horror at that time, and after he transferred away the idle people and waited, he told Qiao Zimu what happened.
It turned out that just when the sky was just dawning this morning, a war horse in the Imperial Horse Prison of the Royal City suddenly gave birth to a batch of freaks, so that Ma Wen risked losing his head to invite the king who was still dreaming in the gentle country.
The king was sleepy-eyed and furious, but when he heard the report, he was also frightened, so he hurriedly got up and went to the Imperial Horse Prison.
Hearing Wang talk about this, Qiao Zimu already understood the importance of the matter. Last night, the calamity star appeared, and sure enough, there was a strange omen today, and the king was very frightened at that time, and his words were confused and he couldn't explain what the horse had born, so Qiao Zimu followed the king to the imperial horse prison.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Imperial Horse Supervisor was extremely solemn, several Ma Wen and Xiao Si were already kneeling in front of a horse shed and trembling, and Qiao Zimu had already smelled a faint bloody breath before he got close.
At the same time, there was a cry of a baby in the stable.
The faces of everyone present were pale, including the king, who trembled a little, so after Qiao Zimu got permission, he walked towards the stable alone.
As soon as he entered the stable, the scene in front of him was already shocking him into a cold sweat.
The withered grass on the ground of the stables had now been stained with red plasma amniotic fluid, and the mare who had given birth had fallen to the ground at this time, and her lower body was covered with blood, apparently due to the collapse of blood in childbirth.
However, the most strange thing is that next to the horse corpse, a foal who had just taken off its afterbirth coat was kneeling in a pool of blood with its back to Qiao Zimu, trembling, and there was a baby-like laughter.
He stepped forward bravely, and the foal suddenly turned around at this moment, Qiao Zimu almost exclaimed, only to see that the foal covered with amniotic fluid and blood actually gave birth to a human face!
The human face and horse body, the mutilated hair on the top of the head is stained and coagulated by blood, the facial features are lifelike, and there is still a stubble under the garlic-sized nose.
This is truly a strange thing that has never been seen in the ages.
Even though Qiao Zimu was proficient in the metaphysics of the heavens, he was speechless in shock. And at this moment, the freak suddenly trembled and opened his big mouth, revealing two rows of neat teeth, and laughed at Qiao Zimu: "Don't panic, the number of qi has arrived, the north is dead and the south is rising, and it is difficult to escape!"
The freak's voice was as crisp as a baby, but for Qiao Zimu, it was undoubtedly a fatal sound. He didn't say a word, but slowly withdrew from the stable, leaving only the man-faced foal that kept laughing.
When he had come out of the stable, his sweat had soaked his underskirts, and when the king saw that he had come out, he hurriedly summoned him to him, and the king opened his mouth to ask what the strange thing was.
Qiao Zimu looked around, and after the king evacuated the idle people, he gritted his teeth and said to the king: "This monster is called 'such a thing'." Is...... Ominous signs. ”
It turned out that this freak with a human-faced beast body was a legendary monster named 'As it is'.
Legend has it that "if it is", it will be reincarnated in the world every time it is troubled, and this demon does not have any ability to hurt people, but it has a terrifying ability. It is said that the change of dynasties in the world is determined by heaven, and this 'such is' is the messenger of heaven, who will die within a day when he appears on earth, and in the short time before his death, he will reveal a shocking prophecy.
Qiao Zimu dared to hide it at this time, so he told the king what he knew, and he told the king that this demon would die after prophesiing three times today, but his prophecy was extremely accurate, and I am afraid that the king's involvement will not be guaranteed.
After listening to Qiao Zimu's words, the king was shocked, you must know that this kind of rebellious words is a crime of killing. But Qiao Zimu is not a fool, he understands that if he makes a slight mistake at this time, his head will fall to the ground, so he decided to block it and bet on whether the king trusts him.
Sure enough, the cowardly king panicked, and after a while, the king who came back to his senses said to Qiao Zimu in a solemn tone: "This is not just a matter of you losing your head, you should understand." ”
Qiao Zimu hurriedly knelt down and swore a poisonous oath to prove that what he said was correct, the king saw that his expression was not like nonsense, and he also understood that Qiao Zimu did have some skills, so he asked him in a low voice: "Okay, let me ask you, is there any way to crack this fallacy?"
Qiao Zimu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly reported it truthfully.
It turns out that this demon must be twins in the world, and the name of the first person who came into the world is 'such as this', which is the body of a man and a beast, and the prophecy reported by such a person is only half of the heavenly machine.
When the 'so' dies, the outer demon will also be born within a radius of ten miles, and the demon will be called 'Shu', which should be an orc body, and it will tell the other half of the remaining prophecies.
The prophecy will not begin to come true until the death of the 'speaker', which is where the phrase 'so spoken' comes from.
Qiao Zimu told the king his opinion, he said that now the prophecy has come out, but it is only half, so there is still a chance, if ............
The king hurriedly asked, "What if?"
Qiao Zimu lowered his head and said: "If you can kill the 'Said' before it comes into the world, maybe you can make the society endless." ”
After saying this, Qiao Zimu's heart beat wildly, this was just a conjecture on his part, and it was also his only chance to save his life.
After hearing this, the king thought for a while, only to see a trace of murderous intent in his cloudy eyes, and he said to Qiao Zimu: "What do you mean............"
"Dare to fight, the only way now is to kill all the things to be born near the royal city, or animals, or, or people, before this demon appears. Qiao Zi's eyes trembled, and his words trembled.
As soon as these words came out, the king was also taken aback. He knew how much it would cost, but he didn't hesitate.
Yes, in the face of their own rights, it is clear that such a sacrifice is worth it.
So, after a while, I saw the king say to Qiao Zimu in a low voice: "Then you must do this well, and you can't leak any rumors." ”
"The minister must be smeared with liver and brain!" Qiao Zimu replied tremblingly.
On that day, when the people of the city had just woken up, they were naturally unaware of the changes that had taken place in the royal city, and the strong malice that had been brewed by greed.
On that day, a group of horsemen and palace maids were executed in the royal city, and the morning sun rose, and the bloody breath attracted the crow to fall on the snow, and the scene of the knife falling in hand seemed to be full of curiosity in the eyes of the crow.
The snow stopped, but the wind did not stop. The dark clouds drifted slowly, but they could not cover the murderous intent, and the smoke rose from the houses of the people, and their days were still difficult and peaceful, and the king's army had begun to assemble, and the hooves of the war horses stepped over the snow, startling the crows that pecked at the flesh and blood, and the crows flew up and croaked.
The crow flew over the imperial city, a black feather fell, and the king on the city wall was wearing a ferret cloak at this time, holding a glass of wine and looking down on this qiē scene with the crow, and an unknown cruel historical story quietly began.
