Chang'an is the first capital city called "Jing" in Chinese history. It is Fengjing built by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty and Haojing built by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. The two capitals, Fengjing and Haojing, face each other across the river and have witnessed an era together. 's coming.
Today, more than a thousand years later, although Chang'an City has gone through many vicissitudes, it can no longer reproduce the glorious scene of the Western Han Dynasty. However, it is still bordered by the Wei River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south. It is surrounded by eight rivers and controls the east-west access. The gateway between the northwest and southwest, the most important transportation hub between the Central Plains and the northwest.
This place is located in the Guanzhong Basin, with four distinct seasons, fertile land, and water networks throughout the territory. As far as the entire territory of the Han Dynasty is concerned, it is not only the location of the northwestern stem, but also has an inseparable connection with the central land. It can be said that it is the place where the emperor's career can be achieved. It's best to rely on it.
Compared with Chang'an, although Luoyang is surrounded by eight passes, it can also be called a place of great beauty. However, it is a place of great success and failure. The eight passes and dangers are densely packed around Buoyang, making Luoyang not as grand as Chang'an in terms of layout, and it is located in the Central Plains. In the central place, there are constant wars, making it difficult to cultivate one's health and rest. Sitting and watching the life-and-death struggle outside the pass, the fisherman will ultimately gain.
Chengdu, Jinguan City in the southwest, is also located in a basin. Although it has the vast Sichuan Basin and has been transformed by the famous water conservancy project, it has fertile fields thousands of miles away. However, because it is far away from the Central Plains, it is thousands of miles away from the southeast to the northwest. Renjiebi, the Three Gorges is the most dangerous place in the world. After all, it cannot be compared with the Weihe River that merges into the Yellow River with great power. In the end, it can only become a peaceful place. Although if you encounter a hero, you can take advantage of the danger and be one of them. Lord, after all, it is difficult to change one's destiny and conquer the world. Even if one devotes oneself to one's work, it will only be a waste of financial resources and make the people's livelihood exhausted. If there is a little slack, a general of a great country can easily take over.
As for the other two famous capitals, one is not so much one that has the potential to become a capital. It is better to say that it has been like a fortress from the first day it was established, either guarding against wolves from the north, or spying on them. The colorful world in the Central Plains of the South was just a chance meeting, and eventually became the center of a country. A bizarre story unfolded.
As for the one in the south, it can only be said that in ancient times, the south was always cautious when dealing with the north, because if you were not careful, the cavalry from the north could crush the panicked military formation, making it impossible to escape. But the reverse is true. , unless there are some special circumstances, the two legs will not be able to catch up with the four legs anyway, so it will always be difficult to achieve a brilliant victory.
Unless the northern cavalry is in disarray.
Looking around, only Chang'an, this magical and unique land, can carry the determination of a country to rise. Just like the people who have lived here for a long time, it has a heavy atmosphere that is rarely seen elsewhere.
However, our story has nothing to do with this city for the time being. No, in fact it still has a lot to do with it. But before the story happened, no one would have thought that this city and this area would be so earth-shaking. misfortune.
To the northeast of Chang'an City, there is a plateau that does not seem to have anything special. Farther away, there is a mound that is not too high. The platform has been cultivated into fertile farmland with a good yield, and the mound The various vegetation covering it have been preserved because there are often some strange sounds near the mound at night, which are feared by nearby residents.
According to the elders in the village, the mound should probably be the tomb of a famous person, so it was naturally protected.
This statement has been very popular for a while. It does not mean that people have much respect for the deceased, but it is a custom passed down from the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone is used to being buried with splendor after death. No matter how down-and-out they are,
family, as long as possible
Therefore, even if you are selling your house, land, or pawning your belongings, you still need to prepare some gold products, just so that the ancestors can enjoy the filial piety of their descendants in the underground country, and of course, to let the neighbors know about the descendants of this family.
How filial.
This custom intensified in the Han Dynasty, so there were especially many gold products in Han tombs. Of course, it is basically difficult for modern people to see these wealth. The fact that a few jade clothes with gold threads can be unearthed is already a blessing.
Fortunately, after all, since the Han Dynasty
It has taken more than two thousand years to modern times, and there have been countless dynasty changes and various famines and wars. In addition, there are endless people who want to get rich or are greedy for money. Therefore, the looting of Han tombs is the most serious overall.
.
The contents inside have been excavated long ago, and have even been smelted and returned to circulation.
So when the news spread that a well-connected man might be buried here, people with various accents from all over the place continued to come here. They had different professions, different identities, and different backgrounds, but
The purpose is the same.
The purpose is to find the possible tomb of that famous person, and then make a fortune.
Then, the place was so lively for a while.
Even in a place not far away from Chang'an City, it still cannot stop the greedy hand.
Not to mention that some of them obviously have very impressive backgrounds.
In fact, if it is an ancient tomb that is not that long ago, some measures will usually be arranged inside to prevent the invasion of tomb robbers. However, due to various reasons, these defensive measures usually decay with the passage of time.
and failure, and may even be bypassed in other ways, just like the poor Maginot Line.
Then, naturally, the tomb robbers cheered or cursed loudly.
But such a law does not apply to those hills that are full of weirdness.
In fact, the locals can often hear the rustling sounds coming from the vicinity of the hills after the night has covered the earth, as well as some people, dogs and other noises. However, out of awe of the hills, the locals except
I would kindly remind you that apart from the weirdness of the hills, you will not join in the fun. Even if outsiders offer a high price, few people will be tempted.
After a while, the trend subsided.
Because no one saw the tomb robbers again, even the few young people in those villages who were seduced by the golden beads and became the guide, also disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few traces near the hills.
There are some traces of tunnels, and then they are integrated with the surroundings in the wind and rain day after day. You can't see the traces of manual digging unless you look carefully.
In fact, it is not that the families of those young people wanted to find their children. However, the old people in the village stopped the poor family members who had lost their loved ones. This was not difficult, because the missing young people could be said to further solidify the situation.
The strange thing about the hills is that the missing young people are the most courageous group of people in the village, and they also despise traditions and legends the most.
Although many tomb robbers came after hearing the news and wanted to try their luck, they all failed to come back without exception.
Over time, the mysterious hills have become an area of awe for hundreds of miles around.
In fact, if you go to the mountain villages near the hills now, you can still hear stories about tomb robbers one after another, and you don’t know whether they are true or false. Except that the ending is the same, the process is complicated.
, so exciting that it can be moved to the teahouses in Jinyang City that use various interesting storytelling to attract customers.
But in addition to these frightening stories, there is actually another story that has been circulating in the village for more than ten years - in that story, a young man full of dreams moved God through some unknown means. Success started from there
He escaped in despair, but the young man obviously realized his mistake and did not appear in front of others again. He quietly left the place where he experienced huge risks and disappeared in the end.
People who believe this story say they saw the figure crawling out of the ground and then leaving alone.
People who don’t believe this story will tell you that the story happened at the beginning of a certain month, and there was no such thing as a moon that could allow people to see what was happening in the distance, even if it was just a vague silhouette.
The truth of the matter is no longer known. But for some reason, the people who believed in this story this time believed in everything they saw, even if they couldn't explain it. This is a little surprising.
However, the so-called "survivor's story" is only one example. When other adventurers wanted to find out if there was a legendary palace underground with a sense of luck, they ended up like their predecessors, staying forever.
I don't know which dimension, but only a few large and small robbery holes are left, quietly reminding anyone who tries to disturb the dead here.
It was another dark night where I couldn't see my fingers.
"Are you here? It seems that it won't be long before we old friends will gather together. I originally thought you would be the last one, but I didn't expect that you, a usually very cautious guy, would be in front. However,
Still welcome, you bastard."
The mysterious hills once again heard a rustling sound. But as usual, there was still no abnormal situation. I could only hear the breeze blowing, leaves flying along with the branches, and rustling.
rattling sound.
"...Who am I...and who are you...Why am I here...already dead?..."
"Of course, the only people who can come here and see here are the dead, so you are indeed dead."
"...Yes, I am dead, I am indeed dead. But, who are you...who am I?..."
"It seems like the situation is even more serious than what we had originally."
"Perhaps it's because the place where we died is too far away from here. After all, we were only less than a hundred miles away, and we had to be beaten up by the boss before we could remember. At this point, I'm afraid we are thousands of miles away.
.”
"Then what should I do? I can't help the boss like this."
"Well, it looks like we're going to trouble the boss again. Sure enough, without the boss, we can't do anything."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Sure enough, we are only truly us when we follow the boss."
"So even if I become a dead person, I prefer the feeling now, rather than the feeling of emptiness in my heart even though I was clearly in power. But why was I blinded by power in the first place?"
"Hmph, don't regret it here anymore, the boss doesn't like you looking like this."
"That's right. Okay, since you can't remember anything, then come with me to meet the boss. As long as you meet the boss, I think you can remember everything. I don't know if the boss sees your pustule."
Doesn't it look like I'm going to stab you again?"
Gradually, the originally noisy sounds gradually subsided, leaving nothing but new terrifying legends for nearby villagers.
But changes continue to occur and develop uncontrollably.
In the darkness where people cannot see.
Suddenly, a blue flame rose in the darkness. The blue light was not very bright. If it were during the day, people might only pay attention to its unique color and ignore the light it emits, because this
A flame has no temperature. To be more precise, it should be a cold flame. Touching it will only make you feel like your consciousness will be frozen.
In fact, no one dares to touch this flame, because everyone who can do such a brave thing is already dead.
But despite this, in this boundless darkness, even if the place it can illuminate is only a square inch, it is still an extremely eye-catching presence, enough to attract the attention of all people within a radius of ten miles.
Then, another group of flames of the same color and the same coldness rose. Soon, group after group of flames with the same characteristics continued to appear, facing each other like a winding road, seeming to be guiding someone.
, and seemed to be welcoming someone.
And at the same time that the tunnel-like flame was lit, a familiar voice sounded again.
"...where is this...you guys, take me where..."
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to where you should go and taking you to meet the person you should meet."
"And, 'he' is already here..."
Before he finished speaking, the blue flame that originally seemed very calm suddenly began to sway violently, as if this dead silent place had been blown by a gust of wind, but it also seemed like a special effect that must be provided when a special character appears.
The wind suddenly started and then stopped suddenly.
I don't know when, at the end of the passage composed of ghostly flames, a plump figure appeared against the blue background.
The figure looked a bit bloated from a distance, but as it continued to get closer, this feeling gradually changed. Because the fat body did not affect the movement of the figure, the figure was far beyond ordinary people, and it also gave people
With huge pressure.
And when that figure came to my side, this sense of oppression reached its peak.
In fact, if you look carefully, the figure of the man with a ferocious face in front of you cannot be described as "bloated". Perhaps the word "strong" can better express the tall man in front of you who is full of angular muscles. Coupled with that, he is not angry.
The face of Ziwei, which can even be called a villain, is like a ferocious beast, a brown bear that is ready to explode at any time.
"...Bear, it's a bear..."
"So, do you remember your name?"
Although there is a ferocious expression on his face, what is unexpected is that the man's voice may be low and cold, even with the smell of interrogation, but it still makes you feel that there is a deep emotion hidden under this coldness.
enthusiasm.
Under the heat of the heat hidden under the ice, the originally confused guy finally seemed to have regained a little clarity, and his two pupils that had no focus at all gradually focused on the one that made him feel familiar.
on the face.
"I, I remembered."
"So, do you know who I am?" It was obviously a question, but it was said with positive expectations, as if all this was so natural, and if the answer to the question cannot be answered, it would be
The crime is extremely heinous.
"Yes, my lord! Are you here to guide me who is confused?"
But the originally confused guy seemed to have been stimulated by something, and his expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and then became fanatical. If you look closely, you can still see the water shining in the corners of his eyes.
"Humph, what an ugly face a crying man has."
"Let me make you laugh, my lord. But as long as my lord orders me, I will never disappoint you."
"Then, come with me."
"Yes, the general will get the order!"
There was no hesitation, no confusion, the look in his eyes was full of determination, and the enthusiasm that supported the determination.
"You will meet a lot of old friends, but there will also be more new 'friends'. You will definitely like it there. I didn't expect that a coward's accidental experience would actually show me a new world. I like it here.
You will definitely like it here too.”
So everyone took steps together and stepped onto the long, long ramp... Uh, it seems that I got the wrong script?
Okay. There is nothing but blue flames here. There is no beautiful cherry blossom path. Naturally, there will be no beautiful girls who use red bean paste bread to encourage themselves. There is no obvious personality that is very awkward but full of popularity.
High school student.
There are only... four beings full of stories.
The blue flames gradually extinguished as they moved forward, just like when they were lit. Everything seemed to happen naturally. No one would question why this phenomenon occurred, and no one understood its occurrence.
reasons.
Naturally, all the villagers near the hills can hear is the howling of the wind, which brings an uneasy feeling.
"Is there another guy here? Although there is nothing worthy of praise, he can be regarded as a remnant of the motherland."
"Yes, my lord."
And in another place of darkness that ordinary people cannot reach, there are voices of conversation. One of the voices is as loud as a bell. It is full of the majesty of a superior person. Just by hearing the voice, one knows that the owner of the voice must have been there all year round.
A high position will make even your words full of toughness.
The other voice seemed a bit ordinary. In addition to being respectful, it only had the fortitude of a military temperament, which was one of the few that left a deep impression on people. He should probably be a very good subordinate.
However, the title "Your Majesty" in this conversation is really concerning.
It is said that in the world today, the only person who is qualified or considers himself an emperor is the Han Emperor Liu Xie who currently lives in Xuchang. As for others, even Yuan Shao, who has gradually ignored the majesty of the Han Dynasty, or
Liu Biao, who was a clan member of the Han Dynasty but wanted to usurp the throne, was determined to
Although he has done a lot of outrageous things, he will never let anyone call him "Your Majesty" in his words, which can easily attract hatred. Instead, he prefers to have his subordinates call him "General", "State Shepherd"
", falsely expressing his respectful attitude towards the Han Dynasty.
Originally, in the history of another plane, there was a madman who claimed to be the emperor. But in the history of this plane, Yuan Shu did not obtain something like a jade seal that symbolized imperial power, and his career had just reached its peak when he suffered a disaster.
When faced with a head-on blow,
Later, in Shouchun, he was left hanging on to his last breath, which was nothing like the history of another plane. As Sun Ce seized Jiangdong, he became high-spirited, and then forgot about it, and finally committed a crime that made people with normal IQs in the world hate him.
Clear boundary error.
Now Yuan Shu, even if he is still lingering in Jiujiang County near the Yangtze River, the man whose spirit has basically collapsed can hardly even perform the mascot, let alone the difficult action of proclaiming himself emperor.
So, who is this man called "Your Majesty"?
It's a pity that so many incredible things happened here, but the nearby villagers still slept soundly.
They have become accustomed to the inexplicable disturbances that always appear here, and they have also become accustomed to all the unusual and strange phenomena here. They only know that there should be a big shot buried underground. As for who it is?
It seems that since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty established the huge empire of the Han Dynasty, the weirdness here has existed, but no one can tell clearly who the great man who caused these weirdnesses was.
Maybe someone once knew it, but with the passage of time, or due to other reasons, no one is willing to continue to research everything about this place, because apart from reaping sorrow and death, it seems that there is no
It can't bring any happy emotions to everyone, so it's better to have a peaceful sleep like this.
Tomorrow, there will be a lot of farm work to do and a lot of things to be busy with. If this year is going to be a good year, can you consider buying some equipment for your children and then send them to the Bingzhou Army to fight for one?
What about fame?
Although they are in awe of the strange and inexplicable mounds, it does not hinder the villagers' desire for the future. There are treasure mountains around them but they are not allowed to enter, so they should find another way.
Although after all the chaos caused by the Xiliang Army in recent years, if a few more young people in the village leave, I'm afraid they will have to rely on the women at home to take care of the fields, and I don't know if it will affect the harvest.
Woolen cloth?
Another quiet summer night has arrived. It seems quiet near the hills today, but the dark clouds above our heads seem a bit thick.
There will probably be a heavy rain.
Pan Sen: I was a little hesitant at first whether to write this chapter, after all, it would involve a lot of hurdles. After thinking hard, I still couldn’t bear to give up, because I wanted to play this way when I first started the book, so don’t change the original chapter even now.
The original intention was good, after all, if you want to play, just have fun.
Pan Sen 2: Another year of college entrance examination. I wish all the candidates good results. Your life has just begun. (To be continued...)
