lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!
The new territory of Jinling, the new territory of Eltienne, in December 559, 1989.
The white snow, drifting down endlessly, the surrounding buildings are all painted with a layer of silver powder, and they are filled with fog by the lights in the houses. In the eyes of those who care, they are not as beautiful as the world.
Passers-by, wearing thick leather clothes, rubbing their hands, breathed out heat in their mouths, trying to add some warmth, the skin looks a bit frostbite because of the cold, like this kind of weather below freezing, if you are a little careless , Maybe even the ears and nose will be frozen.
"Hello!"
"Good for you too! Your daughter-in-law should give birth!"
"Almost, it will be at the end of next month."
"Peace is good, peace is good!"
Two passersby who met each other congratulated each other, but separated again. Within a few days, it was the end of the new year. The people rushed to buy new year goods and the store was busy soliciting business. Although the people were busy, they looked beaming.
"Come on! Come on! The freshest pheasant."
"The best shochu, just out of the cellar, please try it!"
"Cinnamon wine stuffed glutinous rice balls, an exclusive recipe, a bowl of fifteen copper coins, it's not good not to have money!"
The store guys are working hard to increase their performance. Jinling is a rich and prosperous land, and the people’s livelihood and economy are also very stable. Although ordinary people make basic dishes such as rice cakes and bacon, they still have a lot of luxury goods and must be on the streets. Purchased.
Among the many pedestrians, there is one that is peculiar and very eye-catching.
Strictly speaking, he is not considered a pedestrian, because he has no ability to do it at all.
He is a beggar. At least, no one has any other associations with his appearance.
Several clothes that are difficult to cover, are broken and unrecognizable, dirty mud, blood, and people want to turn around at a glance. Under the chapped skin, there are many sores, although they are necrotic and frozen in the snow and ice. , But it still smells like a heart.
A young man couldn't bear his compassion, and wanted to go for relief, but was immediately caught by his companion.
This kind of person, God knows what trouble he caused, he fell to this point and saved him, and seeing him like this, he probably can’t be healed. Anyway, this person is thinly dressed. In this snowy day, you don’t need to How long will it take to become a frozen corpse, at that time, let's collect the corpse for him again!
He walked staggering. This is not correct, because he can't get up, he can only crawl on his shoulders and knees, endure the biting cold wind, crawling on the ground, the wounds on his body, rubbing It broke, but it immediately froze the ice and snow on the ground, and it didn't even bleed for a long time, just like this, dragging a line of blood on the snow.
The wind is so cold, the ground is so cold, the wound on my body hurts, but it doesn't seem to feel anything, is I dying?
This is probably a prediction shared by all passers-by!
This is the same as I thought three days ago.
No one could have imagined that in the past three days, he had climbed seven hundred miles of bumpy mountain roads like this, just as no one would have imagined that a year ago, he was a handsome boy, full of spirits, in Jinling In the martial arts conference in Beijing, he defeated all the heroes, won the favor of beautiful women, and became famous all over the world.
Pedestrians in the past saw him being pathetic. Although they did not dare to approach, they would throw a few copper coins as alms as alms. He didn’t pick up and didn’t even look at him. He continued to crawl, only if there was When an aunt threw half a cold steamed bun, she swallowed it in one bite and chewed it with her big mouth.
He can’t pick up the money. In addition to his remaining self-esteem, he also wants to get to the destination earlier. He has no other strength, even the strength to reach out and pick up the money. He can only continue to wriggle and move towards Going to the destination, the homeland that he had in his mind all the time, forgetting, or escaping from the deadly prison came to mind.
I don't know how long it has passed. It was late at night, and the pedestrians scattered around. When the shop turned off the lights one by one, he finally climbed to his destination.
In front of his eyes, there appeared a majestic palace gate, jade-level glazed tiles, red building golden pagoda, luxurious and exquisite architecture, and a magnificent atmosphere. However, there are only two or three lights in the distance in the courtyard of Nuo Da. The place is overgrown with weeds, utensils are damaged, and there is no sound. Compared with the magnificent buildings, it feels desolate and ghostly.
In the past 3,700 years, Jinling was the capital of Tang Dynasty. Before the Great War of Nine Provinces, it had a glorious time. Emperor Li Bai, in the name of the sword immortal, crossed the land of wind, and no one was invincible. The royal family squabbles were devastated and destroyed by the demons. After the Great Kyushu War, although descendants returned to the country, they lost their former glory and became a vassal of neighboring Eltinus.
Eleven months ago, El Tienno invaded in a big way. The Second Army broke through the royal city with lightning speed, and Tang State was destroyed overnight. Because the action was too rapid, the Tang Army was annihilated before it even had time to resist. It’s ridiculous that because of this, the buildings in Jinling and the Imperial Palace of Tang Dynasty have not been baptized by the flames of war.
But the subsequent development made people laugh. They took over as the third army stationed in charge, showing a completely different style. "Chopping the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze will regenerate" is their slogan, ignoring With the exhortation of the commander of the Second Army to "be kind to the survivors of the subjugated country", the Third Army rushed to exterminate the Li family.
There are no fewer than hundreds of those who were beheaded for being among the royal family. All adult men were chopped up in the city, young children were buried alive, women were sent to officials as slaves, and those with bad behavior served as border gates.
What's more, there was a palace lady who was pregnant with Liujia who was confirmed to be pregnant with royal descendants, but because of the kindness of law enforcement officers, she was determined to excuse her in private. Unexpectedly, they were secretly reported by their colleagues. The maidservant and the officer were all arrested and sentenced to death. The two were pierced by several red-burning spears and wailed to death in the flames. The senior officials of the Third Army said the matter was beautiful. Its name is "Three People", and it wrote a cruel and stern page in the history of invasion.
He slowly climbed the nearly half decadent palace wall, looking at the grass and trees inside, the blood stains on the ground, and the smashed statues.
It is said that the blood on the ground was left behind by the Third Army when beheading the royal family. At this moment, it seems that it is extremely shocking.
"Suddenly..."
Opening his throat, the already hoarse throat can only make some strange noises. It is hard to imagine that this is the beautiful singing voice everyone admired before. During the time in prison, the jailer smashed his arm bones and legs. Bone, in order to fear that he would fight back in the future, cut the nerves of his hands and feet again. When the toxin in the body broke out, it gradually spread upward, and the beauty of the unparalleled beauty of the day was ruined.
Looking up and looking around, he was full of devastations. The big stone tortoise was climbed by him when he was a child, and the half-folded old tree was his favorite place to go when he was a child.
At that time, the generals of the court praised his sword skills, and his father expected him to be the first person after the ancestor Li Bai. Whenever he won the sword skills competition, he would bring the medal to his beloved. By her side, share the glory with her, as a small hand, put the wreath that has been prepared a long time ago on his head, and he will hug her, and there is nothing more to make him happy than this.
Thinking of the past, he cried bitterly, full of regret.
On that day, if the same elder brother hadn't celebrated his upcoming wedding, if he hadn't drunk the glass of wine unsuspectingly, how could Eltinol take advantage of his poisonous attack and attack his home? No, if he is still in martial arts, how dare that group of rats arrogantly move Tang country!
Excited, he propped up his body, kowtow desperately, letting blood marks on the ground on his forehead, like red plums in the snow, shocking.
He was sorry for his father and mother, for the many uncles, for the younger brothers who were not even born, and for the loyal subjects who died in martyrdom. Because of his superficiality, he caused this irreparable disaster.
The royal family of El Tienau was afraid of his martial arts. Although they knew that this man had become a waste, they still did not dare to take it lightly. The Emperor Cao Shoumi gave him a "medicine" to make him curl up to death.
Thank you, I don’t know why. He who drank the medicine of the machine was lucky to survive. He was just in a coma. The soldiers who had been under observation abandoned the corpse in the ravine.
When he woke up from the ditch, his only thought was to see his hometown again.
This idea supported him not to die, and he traversed seven hundred miles of mountain roads, and returned to Jinling. On the way, he almost failed to support several times. Under the regret of this unfulfilled wish, he climbed again. Now, he finally returned Here it is.
After the first kowtow, he fell to the ground. All his strength has been used up, and the blood on his forehead has dried up. The only thing he can do is wait to die.
But, he doesn't want to die!
He wants revenge, wants to rebuild his home, wants to take her back again.
However, even if he is still in martial arts, and his body is as good as before, these are also very difficult things, even more useless now.
He is inferior to the useless person now. He doesn't even dare to reveal his identity. As long as Eltinus knows that he is still in the world, he will definitely die at all costs.
I'm desperate. Although Master is a master on the mainland, but seeing his brother treat him like this, Master does not listen to him, presumably he has also acquiesced. So, looking at the mainland, no one can help himself to avenge this **** revenge. .
In that case, let's die!
The thought in his mind has not disappeared, his pupils suddenly opened up, not far in front, there are a few pieces of gold shavings on the ground, shiny, very touching, it was the Eltinus army that fell when the palace treasure was dismantled. of.
Although they were separated by a certain distance, and the line of sight in the snow was unclear, he still recognized at a glance that it was his golden lotus.
At that time, there was a famous dancer in the palace, named Niang, who danced beautifully like a heavenly fairy. In order to pursue the beauty of dance and to laugh at the boga, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to shop in the palace hall with gold and cast it into a golden lotus. The mother dance is on it, and such great events have become international fascinating talks.
The Tang Palace was broken, and King Eltinore wanted to see the Golden Lotus Dance. The special sergeant dismantled the Golden Lotus and returned to China. Unexpectedly, the mother hit a pillar and died as her master. The Golden Lotus Dance has become a must-see since then.
"Woooooooooooooo..." Seeing the old thing at first glance, the voice of the old man was as vivid as before. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. With his throat dumb, he cried out, he moved his body and crawled towards the gold scraps.
Half a foot left, his strength is exhausted, no matter how hard he tries, he can no longer lift his body, the cold that has been forgotten, at this moment, it is all over his heart, his hands and feet are numb.
The heavy snow never stopped, the world was ruthless, and the snow fell, gradually burying everything and covering most of his body, and hoarfrost formed on his hair.
There was dead silence around, only a faint heartbeat, and when the last sound stopped, it was time for him to leave the world!
(God treats me, is it good or bad? It actually fulfilled this last wish.)
It’s strange that when life came to an end, this thought came to my mind.
Whether it is joy or sorrow, everything in this world will have nothing to do with him anymore.
"Hey! It seems to be alive."
When the consciousness gradually disappeared, a human voice suddenly appeared in the ear, and an old but energetic voice sounded in front of him.
Is it an auditory hallucination?
No, with the remaining reason, he must have someone standing in front of him.
I tried to open my eyes, but there was nothing in front of me, but the voice came from behind.
"Hey! Scrap boy, are you still alive? If you are still alive, just speak up!"
He recognized the voice, it was the old beggar.
When the brother invited himself to a banquet, he held an old wooden sword, placed a broken bowl in front of him, and lay on the corner of the step.
I think he is pitiful. I thought he was a down-and-out swordsman. The entourage took ingots and gold as a gift. He teased: "Old man, isn't it too miserable to be a swordsman?"
When the old beggar heard this, he just smiled and said: "Young man, don't say I am miserable, be careful of eating and drinking, and fall into this field of mine, then you will be more miserable than me!"
The followers all wanted to fist each other. Although they were obstructed, they also rebuked them for nonsense. But the old man had said that he had said it, which really confirmed today's miserable situation.
"Wu Ba...Wu Ba Lulu..."
He struggled desperately, trying to make some noises, like a drowning man, trying to catch something.
"Oh! Still alive!"
An old voice, laughter: "Your luck is not bad, the Royal family of El Tienau is afraid that you will not die, so they gave you a drug to fight against the cold sky jade ointment in your body, although it makes you Half-dead, but it also dilutes the toxicity, so that you can sustain it to this day."
"You can be considered a genius. With this kind of body, you can actually climb over 700 miles of mountain roads."
"But, what do you plan to do in the future? Your poison has not been solved, your martial arts have been abolished, your internal strength has been exhausted, and your muscles have been partially broken. In the future, you will not even be able to do it as an ordinary person."
The old voice continued teasing: "No, you won't even be in the future. In such a snowy day, with an injury like yours, and no internal strength to protect you, as long as you don't care about you, you will freeze to death after a while. "
"What are you going to do? It's so dead, but it's clean, and it won't involve other people. You can go to Huangquan to confess alone."
"For you, death should be a better choice! If you are alive, you just keep facing the painful life, it is not as easy as death."
Looking at the broken palace and the broken golden lotus, remembering the faces of many people, he became excited again, propped up his body, and kowtowed to the void.
"Ubalumba..." He doesn't want to die, at least, he can't just die, there are many things waiting for him to do, he should spend the rest of his life, and do something to make up for those who have passed away. .
"You make me very embarrassed! Your master is so powerful; your enemy is so powerful. If I helped you, wouldn't they even kill me. Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable, I save Who knows if you will avenge you and bite me back."
The old man was talking mixedly, but he just kept kowtow, blood, and red flowers bloomed on the snow again.
The old man couldn't help feeling dumb when he saw him.
"Okay! I want to receive a gold from you in the past, and the old man will pay you back today."
After the old man finished speaking, he sighed, "Oh! The old man crossed the sea to travel east, hoping to see the humanities on another continent, but he saw such a miserable scene."
After hearing the old man's promise, he was overjoyed and kowtowed his head in thanks.
He doesn't know who this old man is or whether he can help him, but, based on his extraordinary intuition, he has a hunch that this man is his savior.
"Don't be happy. The old man promised to save you, but he has to rely on you to save himself. Before he set out, he made an oath not to interfere with the common affairs of this place."
The old man's voice became solemn: "If you are serious, stand up and show it to the old man."
Stand up!
This is simply a big joke, not to mention that he has no strength at all. At this moment, his limbs and bones are all broken, like a soft-skinned octopus. How can you stand up? This requires no less than Haidilao. needle.
However, the old man's firm tone makes it clear that this is not a joke.
With a roar of the tiger, he caught the golden lotus fragments, and all kinds of boys in the past flashed like a revolving lantern. If he fell here, then his life so far has been a complete failure.
To live, to continue to live, is not to escape the fear of death, but to face more human suffering. Only through these pains can we make up for those eternal regrets.
It is the endless blood and tears, the deepest emotion, the unimaginable source of power, which suddenly penetrates the whole body at this moment.
"Woo..."
With an angry cry, it seemed as if Shura from **** returned to the world. He stood up straight, but the moment he stood up, the wound burst, blood splashed, and he fell down again.
In the confusion, I only saw a strong figure like a green pine, just like the ancient pine on the great mountain, independent in the wind and snow, and more and more green in the honeysuckle.
"Okay! What ordinary people can't do. This is the talent of heaven. You and me are both geniuses." The old man laughed and said, "From today, you will learn swords as I am, and learn from the talents of the day. Swordsmanship."
Amidst the laughter, he fainted, but he was relieved to understand that this was not the end, but another beginning.
After I open my eyes, I will begin my second life, and that will be the start of expectations.
The Continent of Wind is vast and has many cities with different styles. Basically, the prosperity of a city must be closely related to the fertility of the surrounding land and the amount of available resources.
Shangri-La is a city that does not follow this law. She is located at the intersection of the western desert and the northern mountains, within a radius of five hundred miles. The land is barren, barren and crowded, and all kinds of sandstorms, miasma, and strange rays make The nearby geographical environment has become an almost extinct existence.
However, today's Shangri-La is the premier city on the Continent of Wind. There is no other reason. The important geographical location has caused the miracle.
Shangri-La is located at the center of the "Silver Sea Highway". Regardless of its economic, political, or military status, it is important and cannot be added, and it is the largest commercial city on the Continent of Wind.
As early as in ancient times, the prophets of the time, considering that most of the traffic on the east and west sides of the mainland was divided by the "Longteng Mountains", they followed the ground currents and drove out the Silver Sea Highway, and at the center of the mountain, the intersection with the mountain Longkou, united Lay down a powerful enchantment, clear away the unclean things, and build this dream city, Shangri-La.
The traffic between the east and the west of the Wind Continent mainly depends on the Panlong Corridor in the north and the Yinhai Highway in the south-central part. The two central cities are the military fortress "North Gate Tianguan" and the commercial capital. Shangri-La".
However, in terms of status, Beimen Tianguan is far less than Shangri-La. As a result, Beimen Tianguan is a military fortress, with strict access control, and it is located in high mountains and has no commercial value. However, Shangri-La is completely commercialized. Operating, absorbing business travel from various places; secondly, the North Gate Tianguan only connects Eltinus and Reins. Tielen and Shangri-La communicate with the four powers at the same time. In contrast, the importance is self-evident.
Since its completion, Shangri-La has issued a declaration stating that this paradise will be neutral forever, not subject to the rule of any political forces, and all military actions are forbidden.
The strength of the basis behind this oath is unknown. In short, for thousands of years, no half of the country has delusioned to encroach upon her. In fact, even Temujin, the peerless overlord of the Kyushu War, admitted it. Autonomy, without a little interference, this matter has become a very intriguing chapter.
Now, Shangri-La, managed by a federation of representatives of several chambers of commerce, has been re-elected every few years. Residents maintain an optimistic, unrestrained, and free atmosphere, and happily conduct various transactions, making Shangri-La the most luxurious gold rush cave.
In the decree promulgated by the Council, there is such a notice that Shangri-La does not belong to any political system. In other words, no matter what mistakes are made in the outside world, as long as you enter the city and stand by yourself, you will not be pursued. Many fugitives, Desperadoes desperately desperate, so this is regarded as the best place to escape.
Anyway, in the city, wine, wealth, sensuality and enjoyment are all available. Instead of ruining a lifetime, it is better to do a ticket sale and revelry for a night, even if you die on the street tomorrow, it is not a life in vain.
Shangri-La, in this way, absorbed a large amount of stolen money, adding a **** scene to its bustling night. Some people say that every tree in the Dream City is grown with the blood and tears of others.
In fact, it’s really good, as long as you are willing to pay huge taxes on time, the council ignores all illegal acts, whether it is murder, buying and selling people, forcing good for prostitution, smuggling and gambling... are all approved by the council. Under.
As long as you do not violate the rules of the game, you will not be wanted by the guards and you can do whatever you want in the city.
It’s just that, this is not a paradise for all lawbreakers. Although it is in a special area, governments of various countries cannot directly exercise power, but also because of this, underground industries such as bonus hunters, killers, ninjas, etc. are flourishing. The case of black eating black is repeated every day in the streets and alleys.
Compared with the rampage of killers, the bodyguard industry is also booming. Many wealthy businessmen carry dozens of bodyguards in order to protect their lives. The bodyguards guard the hospital and immediately switch jobs as a killer after the shift, making a lot of extra money.
Relying on all kinds of geographical advantages, people and harmony, Shangri-La naturally attracted strangers from all walks of life and became Reins. Outside Thielen’s "Jixia Academy", another treasure house of contacts, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the market neighborhood, some people jokingly called "a signboard smashed down, it may smash a basket of masters", this is the portrayal of Shangri-La.
Of course, the real masters with great power are usually unobtrusive for various reasons. It is difficult for ordinary people to judge what kind of person is considered to be an expert. For this reason, Shangri-La’s poetry story Here, a lot of farce has been added, and a lot of legends have also been added.
Return the time to the end of the fifty-sixty year of the El Tienol calendar. At this time, Lancelot, known as the "King of I Italy", is still on the barren hills of Hangzhou, doing it to become the mainland in the future. The dream of the first thief; Leia, the first princess of Reins, is publishing new poems in Jixia; the mysterious military master Gengoro, who will work for them in the future, will roam alone in Wulian, doing research trips...
In a place they don’t know, in the Longteng Mountains in the north-central part of the mainland, a little-known journey unfolds silently...
