Why is Ye Ziqi so worried about becoming a demon, and even mentally prepared to be abandoned by Gu Feng? There are deep historical reasons involved.

According to ancient legends, when chaos first emerged, it was the God of Fire who created the world and created all living things.

After the creation of the world, the God of Fire established a kingdom of God in the human world. After the establishment of the country, one eye of the God of Fire became the sun, and the other eyeball of the God of Fire became the moon. To this day and to tomorrow, he will always watch the world.

Under the gaze of the God of Fire, the Kingdom of God has been stable for hundreds of years.

However, thousands of years later, Gonggong was born and broke the Tianzhu Mountain, causing floods to submerge the world, destroying the Kingdom of God, displacing the people, and making people's lives difficult.

At this time, a hero named "Yu" from the human race stood up.

It is said that he was originally an official of the Ministry of Water in the Kingdom of God. When the palace and the divine religion were in chaos, he led a team of the Ministry of Water and resolutely left the capital. He stayed abroad for thirteen years and could not enter the house. Dig ditches to divert water and control floods all over the world.

Traveling on land by car, traveling on water by boat, traveling on mud by sleds, traveling on mountains by riding a horse, we can connect the nine roads, the nine lakes, and the nine mountains, and divide the world into nine states:

Zhongzhou, Songzhou, Lizhou, Yongzhou, Lingzhou, Leizhou, Youzhou, Qianzhou and Dahuangzhou.

This is the origin of Kyushu.

Among the nine states, except Youzhou and Qianzhou, the other seven states all belong to the same continent. Qianzhou is in the north, facing this continent across the sea.

Legend has it that with the help of the divine turtle Xuanwu, Dayu and his party landed on the land of Qianzhou. After traveling for many days, they met an older wise man. Dayu asked the wise man: "If the land has poles, how long is it?" Wide geometry?”

The old man replied: "The land has its extremes, and you can see the sea. From this place, go south, ninety eyes (Note 1); go north, ninety thousand eyes; go west, ninety thousand eyes; go east, ninety thousand eyes."

Dayu returned in shock and called the strait that separated Qizhou and Qianzhou the "Nine Thousand Eyes River", which has been passed down.

After Dayu pacified the floods, everyone in the world admired him and called him "Song", which means "a man as majestic as a mountain", and regarded Dayu as the common master of the world.

Yu the Great took "Song" as his country name, replaced the previous divine country where theocratic power and secular power were unified, and established a new country based on the feudal system of feudal princes.

The people living on this continent have now completely broken away from the shackles of "gods" and are clearly different from the Wu tribe in Youzhou and the barbarians in Qianzhou.

In the early days of Dayu's reign, the human race was far from being the master of the Nine Provinces. A large number of monsters occupied more land than the human race. Countless monsters occupied the land and became kings, seriously threatening the survival of the human race.

Faced with this situation, Dayu issued the most important national order in the entire history of Song Kingdom:

"Anyone who can eliminate monsters will be granted the title of son, son, uncle, or lord."

This "nobility order" pointed out the most reliable way for the lower-class civilians to turn over in the Dasong Dynasty, where "the title was hereditary and all officials came from big families." Therefore, it directly laid the foundation for Dasong to emphasize military affairs and neglect literature. The foundation of the country has inspired countless warriors among mankind to go forward and slay demons.

For this reason, a specific group of people--exorcists were even derived, which once became the most prestigious group in the Song Dynasty.

When Marco Luo, a wizard from Youzhou, traveled to the Song Kingdom, he left such a sigh in his famous travel diary "Song Kingdom Meng Hua Lu" -

"This is a land where we fight against the monsters until death."

That’s why the world calls this place the “Pingyao Continent”.

This is why, besides whether his body will be taken away from him, Ye Ziqi, who fell into the evil way, the first thing he cares about is whether Gu Feng can still accept his brother.

Gu Feng's understatement bridged the gap of four hundred years of hatred between the human and demon clans.

To this day, in addition to the Dahuang Prefecture that is still occupied by monsters, six states in the Pingyao Continent have become the territory of the Song Kingdom. The monsters have either fled into the mountains and valleys, lurked in remote areas, or traveled far away into the wilderness.

, the "Nobleship Order" can be said to be indispensable.

Baichenghou, the lord of the Ju Kingdom, was the beneficiary of the "ennomination order".

Legend has it that the ancestor of Baichenghou killed the demon king Taotie of Judi with a cold spear, and was rewarded by the emperor with a title. Because at that time, the Chong Dynasty happened to build the 100th big city, so the emperor gave him the surname: "Baicheng"

”.

After that, Ju State introduced more people, and after a generation, it finally established the only large city with a "five-pheasant" wall in the country, which is the capital of the country - Hanye City.

And Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng set their future goals on this big city.

"If we want to take revenge, we must first find a job and survive first. Then there is only one way -"

Under the cool morning light in the woods, Ye Ziqi said to Gu Feng:

"——Join the army!"

"Okay." Gu Feng replied. The ground was covered with dew and it felt very uncomfortable when it got wet. He couldn't wait to get out of here.

"Then, where should we go next?"

"Hanye City. It is said that throwing a piece of silver there can kill an officer. Even if you can't join the army from there, you can still find a way to become a soldier."

"good."

After the two of them finished speaking, they set out to find the mountain road. Zi Qi held many dates and apricots in his hands, while Gu Feng held an iron sword and carried on his shoulders a small deer they had hunted in the morning.

Walking down the mountain road and entering the wide official road, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng saw more and more refugees with their families on the road.

Many old people in ragged clothes, leaning on a cane and holding a child, were walking on the road as if they were begging.

This was undoubtedly shocking to the two children, and people on the road were discussing uneasily:

"This year's thieves are so serious!"

Hanye City is not very far from their hometown Beishan Town.

At dusk, the city wall is in sight.

The two teenagers stopped at the same time.

In addition to the city wall, they also saw a roaring crowd gathered under the city wall.

A large group of refugees gathered outside Hanye City, like a huge gray ant formation, and the city gate was closed.

"The sun hasn't set yet, why is the city gate closed?" Ye Ziqi asked in surprise.

Of course Gu Feng couldn't answer him. The two of them hurried to Hanye City. From a distance away, they saw dozens of people kneeling in front of the closed city gate and crying.

Soldiers in cold iron stood on the top of the city with guns and turned a deaf ear.

After asking around the refugees, the two of them found out that Hanye City had issued a decree and would no longer accept refugees into the city!

The faces of Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng suddenly became very ugly.

"You silly boy, hurry up and think of a solution. I can't wait to see what the human city is like now!" the one-eyed monster yelled in Ye Ziqi's heart.

Ye Ziqi had no time to pay attention to him, he just asked Gu Feng: "What should I do?"

Gu Feng frowned and said nothing.

In the bloody red clouds hanging from the sky, wild geese with injured wings flew south in the sky, screaming sadly. Blood drops rolled down on the devastated earth.

The dirty wind stirred up the moldy smell of clothes and blew it on my face. The body heat of unknown people clung to my body and moved behind me. There were voices of lamentation and an atmosphere of despair everywhere.

What to do? This is a big problem hanging over the heads of all refugees.

How to live?

Just as the afterglow of the setting sun receded, a violent commotion suddenly occurred in front of the crowd!

Ye Ziqi raised his head and looked up, and saw a huge white eagle suddenly falling from the tower!

The head of the sculpture swings left and right, looking forward to its glory.

The refugees immediately started talking, and some of the knowledgeable ones looked solemn. Because in Hanye City, the only people who could raise the "Snow Sculpture" were the royal family of the Baicheng Family.

Immediately afterwards, the city gate opened.

A row of soldiers came out, pushed away the refugees in front of the city gate, and quickly cleared an open space in front of the city gate.

Then, surrounded by many soldiers, a white horse walked out of the city gate.

Riding on a white horse is a woman as beautiful as an ice sculpture.

It's actually an officer's uniform.

Immediately, countless refugees raised their heads and looked at the female general riding on a white horse. She was wearing a silver helmet, with an astonishingly long cold spear strapped to her back. She was stationed in front of the city gate, her face as white as frost, her eyes blank.

Looking sideways, there are more than ten riders behind him, all looking towards the north.

White horses, shining silver helmets, in the north, alluring beauties.

Suddenly, more than a hundred soldiers and horses came from the north, marching neatly towards the city gate along the official road.

Leading the front of the cavalry was a man that no one could ignore.

Anyone who sees him will believe that he is a real general. From his deep eyes, you can imagine that he is a determined and calm man.

He is already over forty years old. He is like a hill pressing on a strong horse. He is dressed in polished silver armor, which is heavy and expensive. He has a dark epee on his waist, which makes everyone who dares to stand in front of him feel heavy pressure.

.

"It's General Lian!" someone among the refugees suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Ziqi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately moved his eyes away from the beautiful female general in front of the city gate, staring firmly at the person called "General Lian". His expression was filled with excitement. Even Gu Feng's face,

He also showed a rare look of yearning.

Because this person coming on horseback is a living legend in the history of Ju State, the god in the hearts of all the warriors in Ju State.

The number one general of the Ju Kingdom who once defeated the "Horse King" of Qianzhou.

"Iron Wall of the North", "Commander of Ju's Army"——

Lian Hongye.

——

Note 1: Eye: a unit of measurement unique to Qianzhou. Qianzhou people are accustomed to calling the distance that can be seen at a glance and accurately measured "one eye". This is different from the Youzhou people who live in mountainous areas, who call it "one eye".

The distance you can see is called "one look", which has the same purpose but different approaches.
