The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 171: Yun Mengze Chun Mi (Part 1)

"No." Jonah yelled and sat up suddenly, sweating profusely. He seemed to have a long dream. He dreamed that he was standing on the edge of the cliff that divided the two worlds. Reaching the other shore, but in the dark abyss stretched out countless blood-red tentacles to tie up the feet, dragged myself to the darkness and fell quickly, "Asai,...no, Master Busta, where am I, I fainted again Really, hell..." The astrologer glanced around in confusion, then beat his head in annoyance,

"It's okay, I already know who I am." The oriental man who was restored to his original appearance sat on the side of the bed and smiled. "You finally woke up. I changed many stitches along the way, and one of them worked Now, Brother Jona, after sleeping for so long, it’s time to get up and move our body. We are about to enter Yunmengze soon."

Jona was surprised: "How long have I fainted, that is to say, we have now reached Suosang City."

"Precisely, I arrived at the place'It was once Suosang City'. Please see for yourself, Brother Jona." With a wry smile, Asai helped him up, stepped on the creaking floor, and walked out of this place. Jonah couldn’t open his eyes for a while in the tattered earthen house. When his vision became clear, the 17-year-old was undoubtedly taken aback, "What, what's going on."

"You're all right, Senior Jona." Long Shenlin was standing outside the house with a sword in his arms, and seeing Jona coming out with a surprised expression on his face, "It's the beginning of the war. When we arrived here, The city of Nansang has been destroyed. Fortunately, there is no encounter with the regular army of the post-Qin...The post road for the return journey has been blocked, and the fourteen counties of the three states in the northern part of the Southern Shang Kingdom have fallen into the control of the post-Qin state."

There is a piece of scorched earth in front of me. This was originally a self-sufficient and pleasant town. The walls are full of azaleas throughout the year. The atmosphere is relaxed during the off-season. When the mists of clouds and dreams dissipate, it can pass. It comes from all over the world. The gathering of merchants and pedestrians made the city of Suosang vigorous. It was under the jurisdiction of the Duhu Mansion of the Northern Territory of the Southern Merchants Kingdom. There were 500 troops stationed outside the city, responsible for the city’s defense and border patrols. For hundreds of years in the Eastern Continent They can’t afford to fight. These frontier guards are mostly engaged in anti-smuggling, chasing after crimes, and maintaining law and order. Standing in the highest star-gazing pavilion in the city, they can overlook the magnificent scenery of Yunmengze in the distance, and countless literati and ink guests have left behind on the wall. In the poem, "Xuansangguan Lake" has almost become synonymous with elegance,

Now Jona’s footsteps are stepping on the remains of the Stargazer Pavilion. This seven-story building was cut off, leaving only three floors of abandoned buildings standing among the rubble; even so, it is still the tallest building in the city , Because the city walls and the city’s official residence have been razed to the ground, there is not a complete house in the city, just like being struck by a storm and being burned by wildfires. The ruins are still smoked, and the charred bodies are buried in the ruins of the broken walls. Jonah hadn’t seen such a cruel sight for too long, and couldn’t help covering his mouth. Asai walked to him and sighed, “This must be the work of the most elite'Jin Ge cavalry' in the post-Qin state. They mount It is the most powerful liger beast in the entire continent. The impact of a cavalry phalanx can completely destroy a small city of this size, kill men, and abduct women and children. This is customary in the post-Qin country, which started as a ranger. The means, hundreds of years... I didn’t expect that the Eastern Continent would reignite war."

Jonah tremblingly stroked the broken wall beside him. On the white wall was a line of cursive script written with dragons and phoenixes. The splash of blood made the handwriting blurred. Asai Nian said, "I guess it's a book business. There are always people like this who feel that peace has been too long to show their own value. It is extremely stupid to hope that the war will be effective in the army." He stretched out his fist and "dumped". With a light smash on the wall, the remnant wall collapsed suddenly,

"The reason for the beginning of the war... must have something to do with the Brotherhood..." the astrologer gritted his teeth,

"Currently, communication is not available. I don't know how large-scale the war is. Judging from the fact that the Southern Merchants ruled out the tension caused by the Brotherhood and the violent temper of the new emperor of the post-Qin country, it seems normal for the post-Qin to tear up the peace treaty." Eastern Humanity, "The Brotherhood has begun to exert its strength, and this war will sweep the entire world, Brother Jona."

Jonah stared at the devastation, and was stunned for a while; then he patted his cheek and said vigorously: "Let's go, Asai, Xiaolong, no matter how the world changes, we still have things we should do. "

"That's right." Asai nodded, "I don't know which way the Long family came back to Liang Sui, but our speed on the road is not slow, there is no delay, as long as we pass through Yunmengze. Oh, oh yes, this thing." He suddenly took out a round thing and handed it over, "We came here yesterday, and you hadn't woke up at that time, everyone was dead, only one The individual groaned loudly to attract our attention. His lower body was gone, but he struggled to live for two days. He looked very disappointed when he saw us, but his eyes lit up when he saw the folding cane. I guess he was The messenger of the Dragon Sect... handed him the cane, and somehow he opened the back cover of his palm and found the token to confirm that it was correct, then handed the egg to me, and said a location, the head crooked to death. I think he should have died for a few days from the injury. He is really a tough guy..."

"What kind of biological egg is this?" Jonah took it, feeling a lot heavier than he thought. This smooth, colorfully patterned egg seems to be heavy as if it was filled with lead, but it feels Warm, unlike metal products,

"Who knows, since it is dragon worship, then maybe it is dragon egg." To ease the atmosphere, Asai made a joke,

Jonah put the egg close up, "Where is the place he said."

"What mountains, rivers and holes..." Asai scratched his head, "I should be able to think of it if I get there."

"Oh... by the way, what the **** is wrong with me." The boy suddenly raised his head, "I don't know why I fainted, and how did you wake me up."

The Easterner replied: "I finally awakened you with the soul-strengthening technique in the secret technique of acupuncture and moxibustion. Will come out... Are you afraid of anything, Brother Jona."

"I don't." The astrologer raised his neck stubbornly: "I have nothing to be afraid of. Since I have taken this path, I will have the consciousness of fighting and sacrifice for a long time, even if the prophecy of the unknown book...no, nothing. "

Asai glanced at him, "Of course, Brother Jona, so many corpses will soon rot and cause a plague, let's go."

The three packed their simple bags and walked north through the ruins. After hundreds of yards, Jona suddenly stopped, looked back at the wreckage of Suosang City, and whispered: "These dead... are so pitiful. Now, I think we should bury their bodies..."

"Senior Jonah, we have to hurry up, we have to hurry a little bit more while the sky is bright." Long Shenlin protested immediately,

Asai smiled: "I knew you would say that, Brother Jona, your character is like this... I already made arrangements. When the seal was loosened late last night, I was summoned from another world. The corpse-eating beast,'Spinning', will gnaw the corpse and grow up slowly. Don’t think it’s only the size of a mouse now, and it will grow into a huge house in two or three days. The mouth of the scorpion connects the two worlds. Passage, the person swallowed by it can ascend to heaven. After the corpse is eaten, it will swallow itself and return to the other world. Do you feel relieved like this?"

"Thank you, Asai." The boy lowered his eyes,

"Respect life, I am never afraid of killing, but every time I kill a person, I must be prepared to bear the curse of every soul. These thugs simply don't understand the meaning." Eastern Humanity,

The sun was shining on the earth. It was a sunny June morning. For some reason, Jonah did not feel dizzy or weak after this coma. It must have been Asai who used acupuncture to maintain his strength. The dirt road progressed silently, and the road to the north of Suosang City quickly came to an end. A boundless Daze unfolded in front of us. From here, there is no unchangeable road. This wet, changing, and beautiful Yunmengze is A living life, even a guide who makes a living here all year round can’t figure out its temper,

The surface of the water is light gray, the deep areas of the lake gradually become dark gray, and the shallow areas are growing with red, orange, purple, green, and blue weeds, dyeing the water surface into gorgeous colors. The entire lake area is Shrouded in a thick mist, this mist changes its color like a rainbow version, like countless huge silk ribbons floating in the air, "This is the spring miasma of Yunmengze, and there will be miasma in spring, summer, autumn and winter throughout the year. You have to enter between the changing seasons to avoid the miasma. The spring miasma should be almost over, but nowadays... Just be careful not to fall into a swamp. As soon as the sun sets, the miasma will go down. At that time, you must camp immediately and use the medicines and formations I have prepared to resist the spring miasma. Roughly speaking, that's it, so you have to take advantage of the sun's high. , Hurry up, brother Jona, is your health okay."

"The fusion of 10,000 colors will turn it into gray, and the fusion of 10,000 elements will turn it into gray. When the fourth sun rises, Ayala sank in the gray lake."

At this moment, Jonah is silently reciting the prophecy of the eighth untitled book. Is this the place of burial designated by the betrayer Segles? He hides in his body and refuses to come out. Is he afraid of this doomed fate? Well, what do the ten thousand colors and the fourth sun refer to?

The 17-year-old boy looked at the gray lake and clenched his fist silently.
