Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1996 The past of Xiqi ([-]), fighting in the snow
5000 years ago, Xiqi City...

This year's snow is heavier than ever.

Xiqi is such a place, the wind is always extremely harsh, and the snow is always abnormally abundant. There are three seasons of winter in the four seasons of the year. There are many giant beasts hidden in the heavy snow. Most of them eat people, but there are also some , was hunted to eat.

In Ji Chang's hexagram, this place will be a place with a pleasant climate after thousands of years.

But now I can't see it at all.

In this kind of bitter cold place, there will be no noble descendants of gods coming, even the nobles can't see it. This place only has the lowest level of human beings, and they are also the purest human beings.

Compared with other princes, Ji Chang should be a special case. He is a newly-appointed prince who was recently recruited by a big merchant to guard the frontier for the imperial court.

His subjects are called Zhou people, but Chaoge people are used to calling them Di people or savages. Ji Chang knows that merchants actually look down on them~~
Because he had just surrendered to Da Shang, he didn't have any blood of gods in his body, he was just an ordinary human being, so he didn't have any prominent relatives.

Unlike the other princes, their relationship with the imperial court is always closer.

As a vassal, his first wife must be a protoss, that is, a woman of the fox clan who is in power now, and Ji Chang is no exception to this point.

But the nature of the fox family is always extravagant and chaotic. This kind of bitter cold place cannot satisfy such a life, so the noble status like his wife rarely lives here. Only Ji Chang stays here. .

Ji Chang was in a very bad mood this morning, because he had just received a dossier from the court.

Ask him to send the human beings for the fox clan to eat again, there must be no mistake.

And this time, the number was double that of last time.

Ji Chang is not a soft hearted person, but he is not a numb person either.

He no longer knew how many familiar faces he had sent away, and some of them were even his favorites, which made his heart ache.

But it is useless, because this is an era where man and God coexist.

Rather than coexistence, it is better to say that under the authority of God, human beings can barely survive.

in other words:

"This is an era in which humans are treated like pigs and dogs."

In this world, there are extremely distinct levels, gods, sons of gods, demigods, human nobles, humans, and slaves.

As long as the protoss with a higher status want to eat people.

They believe that eating animal meat is a symbol of low status.

And regard cannibalism as an elegant and noble behavior.

After all, human beings are very expensive. Those human beings sold in cages can always be sold at a higher price than cattle and horses.

The rare nobles among human beings can have a special status, but they don't seem to care about the miserable situation of their kind. What they care more about is getting a marriage with blood relatives of gods and taking pride in being stained with blood of gods.

Many wealthy nobles will eventually buy the position of a False God through their kinship.

For this purpose, they will even find some immature babies and cook them into delicacies to please their divine blood relatives.

No one blames their actions.

In this era, human life is ridiculously insignificant.

Although Xiqi was bitterly cold, it did not only produce warriors, it once produced two gentlemen.

There is a man who is born good at arithmetic, with a very clear mind, he can see ten lines at a glance, and all the finances of a country are in his mind, he is a talent for calculation.

And the other is a great wise and sage, who is quite accomplished in the way of governing the country, with many ideas and talents.

When Ji Chang sent these two gentlemen to Chaoge, he was actually hopeful.

The two gentlemen swore that they had prepared a set of advice, and that they would persuade the king and queen of Shang to treat human beings kindly.

Select the wise and benevolent among human beings, comfort them well, and give them opportunities so that they will not all be sent to the slaughterhouse like pigs, horses, cattle and sheep.

However, a few months later, what was delivered was a sealed jar.

When opened, there were two portions of stinking meat inside.

The envoy said that after these two human gentlemen entered the palace, they uttered wild words, and the queen was furious with Su Shi, and immediately fried these two gentlemen into the dishes.

Afterwards, I sent these two pieces of meat back to Xiqi, which meant to warn Ji Chang to understand his identity.

Ji Chang was in a state of collapse at the time. The two pieces of stinking human flesh made him burst into tears and his heart felt like a knife was twisted.

It was also from that time that he understood a truth.

It is never possible for one race to treat another race kindly because of pity~~
The world of gods only cares about power! !
And the power of the gods is invincible! !

Afterwards, Ji Chang no longer had such a dream.

He let everyone know that he was a stupid and weak person, and he obeyed all Chao Ge's orders.

Gradually, Chaoge's huge fox eyes gradually forgot about him...

But Ji Chang himself knew that he had a kind of ability, as long as this ability was well developed, he could make him feel as good as the God Emperor.

But he can't let this ability be exposed easily, otherwise it will be his death.

Because in this era, the God Emperor is everything! !

Suddenly there was a noise outside, disturbing Ji Chang's thoughts.

The noise of armor and sword colliding made him even more upset.

He looked out from the stone window, the window was not big, it was round.

There are no prosperous palaces in Xiqi, only an old palace made of black stones.

The place where Ji Chang is standing now is the tower in the royal palace. This tower is so high that it can overlook everything in the back mountain.

It was still cold and windy outside, frost was hanging everywhere, and the ground was covered with thick snow.

But in the open space, there were a few teenagers in heavy furs, and some sergeants in armor.

One of the teenagers fought with a soldier.

The boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, his face was still childish, but he was very brave, he even knocked down several adult soldiers by himself.

The other teenagers were also encouraged by him, rolled together with a few soldiers, and had a great time playing on the snow.

As the yelling became louder and louder, Ji Chang finally understood.

It turned out that the soldiers below were capturing slaves, while the boy below was preventing his partner from being captured.

At this time, the boy had already been stabbed several times, and his blood flowed profusely, but he didn't seem to be afraid of pain, and he was still fighting to the death.

Ji Chang has not seen such a child for a long time, and he seems to be able to see the shadow of himself when he was young.

So Ji Chang was very interested, pointed to the young man under the tower, and asked the old retainer beside him,
"Whose child is that?

Can live under the tower? "

"That's your bastard~~", the old retainer said with a smile beside him.

"what?",
Ji Chang frowned after hearing this, and looked at the boy again.

I saw that the young man's body was very strong, like a small animal, but his face was relatively handsome, a typical human face, and some parts of his eyebrows and eyes were indeed very similar to him.

"That's really your son!",
The benevolent old retainer continued to smile:

"You forgot, his mother's name is Taisi, and there is a girl named Xin!!"

"Tai Si?",
In fact, Ji Chang couldn't remember the name for a long time. There are always many such human women, and there are many such bastards.

Low status, no future, living outside since birth, no chance to enter the palace, fate is similar to ordinary people.

"Very interesting kid.",
Ji Chang looked at the boy in the snow who continued to wrestle with the soldiers, and pointed with his finger:
"Find someone to go down and call them away!!

You don't need to say what I said, just tell them, and those children don't have to be arrested. "

"yes!!",
The old retainer folded his hands and obeyed, then poked his head out and clapped his hands vigorously.

The soldiers below immediately surrounded him and listened to his orders.

This matter was settled, and the boy didn't have to work hard anymore, but he didn't leave, but looked up the stone pagoda for a while covered in blood.

It seems to want to know who is giving the order.

But he didn't see Ji Chang's face in the end. After a while, he clutched his wound and limped out of the city with his friends...
