I am immortal.

Chapter 116
Such a heroic appearance stunned the people in the Mingzhen Dao League for a while, but when the old man saw the jasper thumb finger, he seemed to react, took it with both hands, inspected its dark patterns, and said: "So that's it, I understand." He returned the jasper finger to the girl in the green dress and the white fox mask, with a rather polite expression.

With a smile in his eyes, the latter bowed his hands to the young Taoist, and then left freely.

It is gone.

The old man still kept saying with emotion: "Arrogance, what an arrogance."

"However, for a problem on the path, there are not a few practitioners who are willing to spend a lot of money in return for advice."

"Come on, Master Xiaodao, and come with me."

"Since this distinguished guest has offered you a price, the old man will simply show you the original text of this file for you to read. However, there are quite a lot of things here, and you may have to read them slowly."

Sure enough, there are many.

Because it is a jade book directly engraved with gold and jade materials, it directly fills an entire bookshelf.

While opening the magic spells on these bookshelves, the old man explained: "The aura is stored in the jade slips. Although it can save space, once the aura is turbulent, the things inside will be damaged. , I can’t read a single word, so it’s a safer way to use this book of gold and jade to cover it with aura.

"Mr. Rong will find the letter for you."

"Speaking of which, what happened in Jinzhou back then is not easy to figure out with a single piece of jade. Apart from our records, we also collected a lot of letters to support many speculations and ensure the accuracy of the information."

"Come on, this is the first copy."

"The beginning of the Jinzhou incident."

The old man gave him a waist-thick jade book and put it on the table, and cast a magic spell. The jade book slowly unfolded, and the landscape of Jinzhou was outlined on it with extremely delicate strokes. The young Taoist saw himself Where is his hometown, but in his impression, the town where his hometown is located is not small, and there are more than ten thousand families in it.

When I was young, I walked on flowers in spring and fluttered butterflies in summer.

Lying in the wheat field in autumn to sleep.

Always lively.

But in the huge jade book covering the entire table, there are only a few shallow traces.

It can be seen that Jinzhou is so big, with so many people, that the prosperity of this place is like brocade.

The old man said with emotion: "Because the mountains and rivers are picturesque, it was called [Jin] just now. What has become of this?"

He pointed to a place with his finger, then swept across, and said, "It was about summer, and there was a sudden change."

"About here, a fiery energy suddenly appeared, and then swept across the entire Jinzhou with an unrivaled force, causing the entire Jinzhou vegetation to wither and the rivers to dry up, which was the beginning of the disaster... and then The demon country haunted and tore this state of the human world into the gap between the demon country."

"There are countless monsters that cannibalize human flesh and soul."

"People in the world say that it is the country of the demon clan, but it is wrong."

The old man himself was a little surprised, pointing to the records in the dossier:
"The monsters are the same as the human world, and there are many kingdoms. At that time, there were at least three monster clans that appeared in the land of Jinzhou."

"The three great monster kingdoms appear in one state, slaughtering the lives of the people, isn't it bloody?"

"However, the situation at that time was really too complicated. Even our Daoist League didn't know which demon kingdoms appeared in Jinzhou that day. It's just such a natural disaster. Jinzhou is so big that it only happened in a few days at this time. Time, what you see, is already a human tragedy."

The old man sighed, and handed Qi Wuhuo a thick stack of letter paper. The letter paper had already turned yellow and was stained with blood, and said:

"This is what happened in the place where the disaster happened at that time."

"The most central place is Fucheng, the most prosperous place in Jinzhou, and also the most prosperous place in the whole world. After the accident that year, the aura of heaven and earth was very chaotic. All the means of long-distance transmission of information have been cut off, and the sacrifice is extremely great. Only at the price of this letter was sent."

"It was stained with the blood of the most desperate people in Jinzhou that year."

"Among them may not be practitioners."

"There are also grooms, dancers, noble sons from aristocratic families, and even prisoners."

"It's such a pity that even the death row prisoners sent this letter after draining their last drop of blood for this city."

Qi Wuhuo looked at the pile of letter paper in his hand, and after untiing it, the content was extremely tragic, except for the six short and direct words of disaster and calamity in the city, asking for help, and the contents of every other letter were exactly the same, just this Six words, the old man stretched out his finger and pointed to the thick stack, concise and to the point:

"The news is very important, so more than [-] teams set out, about thousands of people."

"They are all extremely brave and extremely intelligent people."

"In the end, there were only three branches, and they reached the rest of the cities."

"The rest are dead."

The old man shook his head, took out the jade slip again, and said, "This is the information collected by the leader later."

"It can be confirmed that the general's mansion at the border has received the letterhead, which can be found from the records of his mansion."

"But the border guards never got the message."

"This matter has never been reported to the outside world."

Qi Wuhuo flipped through these classics, as if he could already see the disaster that happened that year.

At that time, he was just a nine-year-old child, mixed into the crowd, like fallen leaves on the turbulent current, swept back and forth, he didn't know where he was running, he didn't know where he was going, now these things , Different people's perspectives, or letterheads, or jade slips, to describe the events of the year, he has been able to see more completely, and feels more suffocated.

Natural disasters, man-made disasters.

The chaos of the demon country.

"How did the common people escape from Jinzhou back then..."

The old man seemed to have received a voice transmission, and retreated, and then came to the young Taoist, that middle-aged man, who was also in charge of all affairs of the Zhongzhou Daoist League. Put the jade box on the table, lifted the seal on it, stroked it and said:
"This is the most important news in Jinzhou. Anyone who has read this news will be shaken by it."

"As early as thousands of years ago, the Human Sovereign at that time briefly unified the human world and made an agreement with the Heavenly Court."

"The affairs of the world are decided by the emperor of the world."

"Many immortal gods are only responsible for maintaining order."

"A covenant has its own constraints."

"Later, although there were various reasons, the emperor fell, his sword and seal were scattered around, and this human world was divided into different countries, but this piece of land where we are is the largest The most powerful one can still be called the emperor, and what he cultivates is not to practice Qi and breath, nor is it to use flesh and bones, but the power of luck."

"Layers of luck, gathered on one person, is the emperor, possessing great power."

"And the army of the Human Race Empire cultivates the power of qi and blood, which can carry luck, and when fighting in formation, it can fight to the death with the monster race."

"This is also the reason why people can stand in the human world."

Qi Wuhuo nodded, he already had guesses about such things.

Since there are practitioners in the world, but the dynasty still stands, it will not be as simple as in my dream.

At least the elements of practice must be added.

The man stroked the jade box with an extremely complicated expression, and handed these files and the letterhead to Qi Wuhuo, saying:
"Many things happened back then, and no one could clearly see the changes in the situation. It wasn't until later, when the dust settled, that we realized that the catastrophe in Jinzhou was actually avoidable. This is the largest dynasty in the world, and it is different from many other small countries. Back then, 60 Iron Armored Black Army arrived in Jinzhou."

"The leader is a famous general in the world, who has fought against the monster race for half his life."

"Then the current emperor, that is, the second prince back then, took advantage of the opportunity that his elder brother sent his confidant's Iron Armored Xuan Army to Jinzhou to form an array to fight the monster clan, contacted the court, took the opportunity to overthrow the original prince, and entered the court. Lord East Palace."

"After I became the prince, I was worried about the aftermath, worried that the situation would be unstable at the moment, and that I might be suppressed by my elder brother."

"It's an order that the Iron Armored Xuan Army stop, and they are not allowed to step into Jinzhou."

"At the same time, the news was blocked. This is why those people tried their best to spread the news back then, but they could no longer spread the news when they reached the General's Mansion at the border. The Xuanjia Army received the news that the second prince imitated the prince's brushstrokes, and the prince Under the pressure, all the Xuanjia troops mistakenly thought that this was an order from the First Prince."

The middle-aged man took out a letter and handed it to Qi Wuhuo: "This is the order they received back then."

Qi Wuhu remained silent.

Open the letterhead and see the text on it——

[A group of monsters mixed in with the fugitive people, wanting to mess up our country]

[Xuanjia formation, someone crossing the border]

[Kill without mercy! 】

The young Taoist stared at the last three words, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly understood why he was surrounded by crowds and wandered around for a long time before he had a chance to survive. The middle-aged man sighed and said:
"It's extremely ironic. Many people died under the crossbow arrows of the Xuanjia army who once defended themselves. The most ironic thing is that until the moment the arrows were shot, these Xuanjia soldiers felt that they were protecting them." home country."

"It finally came to light."

"And because the military order comes from the first prince's seal, the position of the second prince's crown prince in the East Palace is more stable."

"We don't know how the trick in the middle is done, but it finally worked out, and it's vicious."

"People in a state, in exchange for the opportunity to completely overthrow their elder brother, exchanged for the current title of emperor."

"Hey... such a business, I would not even dare to do it in the Mingzhen Daomeng."

Qi Wuhuo's eyes drooped. He had never seen the emperor of this country, but in Huang Liang's dream, he had contact with that emperor. It seemed extremely mysterious. Obviously, the dream should be his own experience. Cognition is about the constructed world, but for many royal families, the characters and behavior styles of high-ranking officials are also extremely real.

The appearance of the emperor in Huangliang's dream appeared before his eyes.

Qi Wuhuo still restrained himself, but the little peacock suddenly felt very uncomfortable sleeping, as if there was some kind of cold breath circulating, the young man said humanely: "There are Xuanjia in the border, there are demons in Jinzhou, how did people come out?" ?”

"Taoist, sit down for a while, this involves other things."

"I'll look for it..."

The middle-aged man went back again, went to fetch a lot of ancient books, and piled them all up in front of the young Taoist priest. After identifying them, he heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "There is indeed nothing missing, and I just sent them to you." Formation, I brought these things out from the library in the secret realm of my Dao League, um, these are lists, and some are incomplete methods."

Qi Wuhuo looked through it, and saw that there were monks and Taoists among them.

The man got up and pointed to the name of the scroll, and replied: "Ordinary people, of course, will not be the opponents of the monster clan, they can only be eaten as flesh and blood, but there are still practitioners in the human world, and there are thirteen veins in Buddhism. In Buddhism, in the Miaofa Tianci'en Temple, the Taoist sect also had the Tage and Sword Sect, and there were also heretical sects, and there were countless small sects."

"After the incident in Jinzhou."

"There are more than 330 monks in the Buddhist Ci'en Temple, the oldest is [-] years old, and the youngest is [-] years old."

"All dead."

"The last people who fled are like the tide."

"After the thirteen stick monks broke through the monster clan's blockade, they died in a volley of Xuanjia troops at the border."

"Being unwilling before death, I still want to subdue the devil."

The middle-aged man took out some documents and unfolded them for Qi Wuhuo, saying:

"When we went to check later, we found that all the relics in Ci'en Temple were exhausted. We found out later that they smashed open the Buddhist hall, took out the relics of their ancestors and ground them into powder, and then used their own His blood is mixed with the relics and written into Buddhist scriptures and distributed to people, so we know that they have made the final plan."

"We saw the monk's head turned into a Jingguan."

"The inheritance of the Tiantai lineage of the Buddhist sect has been cut off."

"Their dharma is gone, and their relics are gone."

"There are no more disciples."

"So this vein is gone."

The man took out another dossier: "As for the Tage Sword Sect, he is the most proud. He always chooses disciples, not disciples."

"Because there are very few disciples in the sect, they escorted the people along the way, so more than 600 Sword Immortals were dispatched by soldiers."

"The road is full of broken swords."

"Later, there was an army of cavalry who disobeyed the military order. It seemed that they couldn't bear it. This opened a hole in the blockade. The patriarch who was sitting in Daozong went out and tore apart the formation with a sword, so that the people could enter Zhongzhou and let the people of Jinzhou to survive this disaster."

"It is said that the Taoist patriarch also broke his practice because of this, and the cavalry of the army was finally ordered to disobey the military order and thrown into Jinzhou to fight with the monsters. They died in the end, leaving only 27 people alive."

"This is what the leader saw when he led the members of the Daoist League into it."

"We don't have the determination like a sword cultivator, nor the enlightenment like a Buddhist sect, so we can only watch those sword cultivators solve their soldiers, and watch the Buddhist disciples die. We can only do business with the monster clan, and use 150 years of profit , changed the lives of 15 people, and also recorded what happened that year."

"Immortals value life, but there is no way to protect life without killing; Buddhism is merciful, but not angry, how to stop killing evil, how to prove compassion."

"It is so."

"150 years of income, in exchange for 15 lives."

The man crossed his hands and said, "The leader said, it's a big profit."

"After 15 people, there will be those who can embark on the practice, so that they can [make good fortune]."

"My generation is also a human race. Things hurt my kind, and I can't bear to see them die. This is [seeking peace of mind]."

"There are many cunning people in the alliance, so it can [correct my bones]."

"Everyone stands back and waits and sees, but I go west alone, so I can [give my name]."

Qi Wuhuo said: "The leader of your alliance..."

The man replied: "When I entered Jinzhou to find out the truth, I found out that there was [the man in black clothes and red dragon clothes attracting the demon country]. Say big money, big money."

"Businessmen also have the business of businessmen, cultivators have the morality of cultivators, don't forget that we are seekers of the Tao, not seekers of profit."

"It's the Taoist League, not the Business League."

"That's right for me!"

"Let the world know me [Mingzhen Daomeng], there is absolutely no falsehood."

"That's what happened back then..."

The young Taoist flipped through all the records and scrolls, deduced for a long time in his heart, his voice became hoarse and suppressed unconsciously, and said:

"Jinzhou, how many people died?"

The man said: "...The Daoist League estimates that 370 million is more than 540 million."

Qi Wuhuo shook his body.

After all, he was only a young man, and this number was like a heavy hammer, which made him feel a little dizzy.

Look at the chronology that follows.

"Three years later, the prince ascended the throne and awarded the "Deyin of Deng Ji""

"The Great Sage, the Great Merciful, Benevolent, Virtuous and Filial Emperor."

"Called the emperor."

"Praise Shengming."

The young man pressed the table with his palms, his own soul, vitality, and essence unconsciously accelerated the flow, gathering faintly, anger and murderous intent, and many emotions were like a torrent under the blue waves, surging, but not revealed, the man said: "Only fellow daoists know about this matter, so please don't spread it to outsiders. After all, it's considered information. I don't know the honorary title of fellow daoists yet."

The young Taoist read out his Taoist name, wrote it down, and said:
"Pindao knows about this matter."

It's just that the middle-aged Taoist couldn't understand that Taoist name.

I wrote it down, and my eyes didn't recognize it.

But after confirming that there was Qi Wuhuo's aura on it, he felt relieved, but when the young man got up, he suddenly asked:
"One of the iron cavalry who participated in the Battle of Jinzhou is still in Zhongzhou."

"Master, do you want to see him?"
