Chapter 24 Let's talk about the year after that

In March of the fourth year of Acer, the Zaigang tribe suffered a winter disaster last year, and the lack of resources frequently violated the Shengfeng border, and the Shengfeng soldiers were weak and could be resisted. The Daqi army quickly returned to China, not touching the wind and grass, and the three kingdoms were peaceful and peaceful from then on.

In May of the fourth year of Acer, the world-renowned Daqi "Heavenly General" general Helian Jing married the gentle and graceful second princess Fu Zhiyin, and the agreement of the eternal brother alliance was the first dowry of this royal wedding.

In June of the fifth year of Acer, King Yin's eldest son, Helian Duan, was born, and the landing of this ordinary life intentionally or unintentionally became the thrust of the grand cause of the Daqi Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Acer's lunar month, the whole world celebrates the New Year's Festival, the Zaigang tribe made a comeback, and its momentum was menacing, all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, invincible. After a stalemate between the two sides for three months, on a stormy night, a small group of iron wolf troops infiltrated the Zaigang military camp and blew up the oil barrels of the army.

Since then, the border of the three countries has entered a melee, and there is no peace.

"How can you not be at peace? Sitting in the teahouse, drinking hot tea, and listening to wonderful stories, such a day is not peaceful enough?" The young man held a long sword in his hand, and his spirit was high, and he heard such a sentence when he stepped into the teahouse. He raised his head, and his beautiful appearance amazed those present, and the person who had just spoken also paused, and when he saw that the young man had found a corner seat, he beat the small drum in his hand and began to speak that had just been paused, and at first glance he was a storyteller.

The storyteller continued: "War has been going on for a long time. As long as the world is still three-thirds, war is inevitable. It is difficult for one mountain to accommodate two tigers, isn't it? How can there be three kings in this world? Everyone wants to compete for the first place in the world, and it is not us ordinary people who suffer! We have no peace at all! If we can sit in a tea shop and drink tea, we will be content! If the border cannot withstand it one day, will it not be able to break in? At that time, let's talk about how uneasy it is? Now, let me talk about the military exploits of the general Daqi. It is said that Helian Jing, the king of Yin...... Uh......"

As the storyteller fell, the young man drew his sword from him with a blank expression.

In the teahouse, there was a mess all of a sudden.

The man stood with his sword in his hand, and he was annoyed by the embarrassed look of these people screaming and fleeing, and he brandished his long sword and killed people with one sword.

A woman and three men stood outside the teahouse, followed by the young man on his horse and left, leaving the innocent teahouse drowned in the bloodshed that was inaccessible. None of them dared to come forward and speak.

Young men are more brutal today than they were then.

King Yin back then was also ruthless, whether you provoked him intentionally or not.

Today's King Yin is also cruel and vicious, but he may have nothing to do with anyone, but he just wants to kill people.

King Yin back then was gloomy and silent, and his methods were vicious, but he didn't do whatever he wanted.

Today's King Yin is even more unfathomable and reckless.

For example, King Yin back then may have killed the storyteller who called him by name, but he might not.

But today's King Yin, including the storyteller, slaughtered the entire teahouse.

The five horses suddenly accelerated and galloped wildly, a large number of black-clothed assassins attacked from all sides, and the five people of King Yin dodged left and right, and the horses kept changing their routes. The number of assassins was still increasing, and the five Yin kings were chased to the edge of a strange dense forest, where the towering trees could not be seen, and the horses suddenly raised their heads to the sky and roared, refusing to enter the forest despite the whipping.

A large number of Assassins gathered and stormed King Yin. Immediately, the five people dismounted to face the battle, but found that the assassins this time were several times that of the last few times, King Yin sneered, it was really bloody, and the life of this king alone needed so many people to pave the way. But the fatigue tactics of such a large number of people taking turns to fight are obviously trying to drag him down.

"Into the forest. King Yin gave an order. The five fought and retreated. As soon as they entered the forest, a thick fog came to their faces, blocking everyone's sight, and the five of them formed a group close together, not daring to relax for a moment.

The sound of weapons falling to the ground could be heard all around, and the sound of the Assassins chasing into the forest could no longer be heard.

King Yin looked carefully at the forest at this time, and in addition to the white mist, there were also various colors of mist, flowing and floating in the air. If he didn't understand anything, he would definitely open his mouth to admire the wonderfulness of the scenery at this moment, but the words "Hundred Fog Forest" in Hejing squeezed into his brain, and King Yin felt a chill down his spine at the moment.

In the foggy forest, there is no solution to all kinds of poisons, and there is no return.

A moment of negligence actually broke into the Hundred Mist Forest.

The various colors of fog are not wonderful scenery, but all kinds of poisonous fog that can kill people.

The assassin who had just entered the forest must have been poisoned to death. So why are the five of them all right?

King Yin didn't think much about it, and the four of them took the detoxification pill that Lan Qi carried with him, and no one knew whether it was useful or not. The first priority is to get out of this ghost forest.

The five of them could not leave an inch, and a thick fog could isolate and separate them. The yin air here is heavy and the humidity is deeper, which is more than the mass grave. Which one is not colorful and poisonous? King Yin glanced back, but he could no longer see the way he came. It is unknown whether the towering trees are the same height, but they are all the same thick. I can't tell the difference between the front and the back, the left and right. It seems that the places you walk are the same, or you are always in the same place.

King Yin carved a mark on the tree and continued to walk, the sunrise and sunset alternated several times, fortunately, they did not spin in place, unfortunately, they were still lost in this damn forest, unable to get out.

Foggy Forest, there is no return. It turns out that this is the meaning, even if there is no poisonous fog, you still can't get out.

The five of them stood in place and rested, the scene in front of them was ninety percent similar to the place they had walked through, and if it weren't for the mark on the place they came, they would have thought that they had been spinning in place. King Yin waved his sleeves to dispel the mist, frowned and asked Jian Qian, "Are you sure this is not a gossip array?"

Jian Qian's right hand slowly rubbed the fan bone: "The subordinates are sure it's not." There seems to be a maze here, and there doesn't seem to be. At first, he also thought that this was a formation of the Five Elements Bagua, but after walking a while, he found that they were not in the same place, not in the formation, they had been going deeper. After a few days, the fog covered the sky, and he couldn't distinguish the direction of the four directions, let alone see where the eight gates were.

"It can't be without. Lu Xing said categorically, "Lord Wang, this Hundred Fog Forest is the only way to enter the Tianshan Mountains. ”

The five of them are no strangers to this. The Zaigang tribe has a strong belief, and those who are worshiped as gods are known as "saints of the Tianshan Mountains". Tianshan is the highest mountain range in Zaigang, the snow on the mountain does not melt all the year round, and it is said that the "Holy Son of Tianshan Mountain" of each generation is selected by the immortals, giving divine power, saving the dead and helping the wounded, and guarding Zaigang.

King Yin snorted disdainfully, he didn't believe in any ghosts and gods in this world. He didn't believe it, but the Zaigang people were convinced that since it was the only way, those who were determined to go in would also come out, and they would definitely be guarded against.

Lu Xing continued: "Only the patriarch can enter the Tianshan Mountain and see the saint, and he must kneel three times and bow nine times, and ordinary clansmen are not even qualified to bow. If you trespass into the Hundred Fog Forest, you will not be able to go back. ”

"Phew, whatever, some go and don't go back. Hurry up and touch the wood to get lucky. ”

A few people shook their heads amusedly and looked at the angry Jian Ao, what a person! He said that he was a dignified man and a military general all day long, and he actually believed this!

Three kneels and nine bows, and the one who meets the king is just a bow.

Three kneels and nine knocks!

King Yin looked down and saw his feet, which were extremely clear, and then looked up at the vast expanse in front of him. I see, if you don't kneel and knock three times, how can you see the road you want to go?!

"Squat. The four of them obeyed King Yin's orders, and after squatting down, they fell to the ground, and their eyes suddenly opened up, although the fog in the high places did not obscure their mark, but the cloudy environment still affected their judgment of the terrain. Several people crouched low, desperately studying the difference in the scene.

Jian Ao found that in the direction where he was, eight steps away, there were a few trees that were out of place, there was no grass around the trees, and the trees were also smooth.

Jian Qian thought that they had finally found the right way to move, and so repeatedly, it was frustrating that they walked back to the same place for the first time.

The five of them have completely entered a dead end, and they can't find a solution.

Jian Qian compared the difference of trees, the alternation of three or nine steps, and the law of the five elements and eight trigrams, and began a cycle of infinite failure day by day. The more he walked, the more difficult it became, the more he looked for the regularity, the more irregular he became, and finally the five of them walked out of this maddening ghost forest on the fifty-third day after entering the forest, led by King Yin.

When a few people saw the three horses wandering in place outside the forest and did not leave, they finally had a feeling of rebirth and seeing the light of day.

The four of them looked at King Yin with reverence, and their admiration was even better than before, their prince was known as the "Heavenly General", and he deserved it, there was no place in the world that could trap him. To be able to put into the account of such an amazing person, he is also unavoidable.

Several people stepped on the horses and walked away, and King Yin finally looked back at the place where he had been trapped for nearly two months, and suddenly there was a desire to cherish talents, this array, the cloth is exquisite. Jian Qian couldn't find an exit because he knew too much about the art of Qimen Dunjia, and the more difficult he thought, the tighter he bound himself;

This forest, in fact, is just a giant nine-palace diagram, a simple nine-palace diagram, each palace is divided into nine grids, derived from countless nine-squares, complicated, at first they went straight forward, from one palace to another, never went to the edge, and then in the same place circle, nine outside the square inner circle, they went around into a small nine squares. It's not the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, but just the simple integration of the Nine Palaces and the Five Elements. The faint color on the trees is not lying down and cannot be seen at all, white, green, black, red, yellow, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, take the direction of one side of each other, every nine is divided into three or three numbers, three steps away, there must be a direction that is another color, and do not take the mark under its feet. On several occasions, they were only a few steps away from a relative starting point, but they never went back to their original place, and kept moving in the same direction.

As for the location of the four directions, at first they were indeed obscured by a thick fog and could not see the direction clearly, but later they finally discovered that the fog on the fixed side had a regular and rapid flow phenomenon, and after several scrutiny, it was the time of the sun rising a stick of incense.

King Yin drove a horse at a gallop, the meaning of the nine palaces and five elements is simple, but the algorithm is complicated, you need to be cautious, one wrong step will be wrong, and it is almost impossible to turn back. And he concluded that no matter which side he entered the forest, he would eventually turn around and come out. If one day he could see such a master, he would humbly ask for advice.
