This large city between swamps and mountains has gathered countless people today. The lakes and swamps that used to be full of reeds and water plants have been filled in and consolidated. The men and women wearing local clothes on the ground are like an ocean.
Five-color silk thread woven pendants hang on their waists, and some of their heads are wrapped in purple and black turbans. Many men carry a long and narrow sharp knife around their waists. They are walking in Leixiaze, a place where there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Such a configuration is
Essential.
It's just that today is different from the past. The golden and red flags symbolizing the Plantagenet Dynasty in the city are no longer there, but are replaced by patches of black flags with purple dyeing and printing. And there are more than one, and there are countless black flags held high on the ground.
The purple-dyed flag flutters in the breeze, like a black ocean, silent and solemn.
The big drums covered with animal skins were beaten in the hands of men with bare arms and chests. The sound was not urgent, but was like classical music, extremely solemn.
Amidst the sounds of drums, old men in black attire holding white bone sacrificial sceptres, lined up in two rows, slowly walked forward on the main road among the crowd in the wilderness, and around both sides of the road,
The local people in black clothes and armor stood upright, holding high black flags. Although they had different heights and weapons, their aura of reverence and solemnity was unmatched by any scattered forces.
The wilderness was full of people. Most of them were residents living in the barren mountains and harsh waters of Qi Lei Qizhou. Their customs and habits were also different from those of the people in the Central Plains. Some carried long swords with animal horns, and some had painted faces.
They are painted in white or black, some have scattered wooden and bone ornaments on their ears, and have belts woven with five-color silk threads.
Today, all the tribes from the Qilei Seven Continents gathered here, quietly watching the old men of the 'Xuanyi Palace' faction walking on the main road, and at the end of this main road there is a three-story
of high platform.
There is a large bronze cauldron on the high platform, and there are burning fires behind it. In the daytime, the fire light imitates the lake, and the black smoke floats up into the sky, outlining the misty clouds and smoke in the sky.
painting.
The 'Xuanyi Palace' comes from the Xin State in ancient times, and was inherited by the spring official of Xin State at that time. After the death of Yuanhui, the Xuanfeng line withered, and there was no direct descendant, and the 'Xuanyi Palace' was rare.
Although it is not a powerful faction, it still inherits the Yuangui lineage, but it is still passed down with difficulty in the dangerous mountains and rivers of the Qilei Seven Continents.
Now, amidst the sounds of drums and bells, these old men from Xuanyi Palace slowly climbed onto the high platform, and then knelt down together to worship the sky and the sky.
"Speak to all directions of heaven and earth——"
"We, the people of Xin——"
"Xuanfeng, Queen of the Birds——"
After more than 700 years, the sound of "Queen of the Birds" made countless people present shed tears, their eyes turned into lakes, and their expressions could not be suppressed. In the silence, one after another, strong and unruly Shan
Min slowly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head willingly in front of the purple-black phoenix slowly condensing in the sky.
Since the departure of the birds, these small tribes of mountain people living in the poor mountains and rivers have no one to protect them. They can only watch miserably and helplessly as the land gradually declines again. The water is overflowing, poisonous insects breed, and evil birds cannot cross it.
Even if they tried to attack the outside world, they failed again and again. When the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, there was no more powerful sect in the Qilei Continent, and the Xuanfeng sect withered and fell apart.
Now, the Dragon Vein disaster has struck again. In the past few years, water has flooded Minze, the wasteland has dried out, and monsters have appeared frequently. The already dangerous environment has further deteriorated. Many villages and gathering places in the mountains have even begun to disappear, and many people have been displaced.
, some died from famine, and some died from the migration and attacks of monsters. Even if several major local factions tried their best, they could not maintain the original stability.
Order began to collapse, and in order to suppress and appease the people, the dynasty had to use work in exchange for relief, and was preparing to build a river channel through the Qilei Seven Continents to solve the problem.
In the past, when the dynasty was prosperous, this disaster might not have been unjust. But it is a pity that now that the world is in chaos, everyone needs help, and Qilei Qizhou is already poor and dangerous, and it is even more unpopular. Many people died in the construction
On the dry land of the river, the food and money that should be distributed have not yet arrived.
There was blood everywhere and strange voices everywhere. The ancient scrolls and the country in memory were once again sung by people, and the memories that had been sealed for hundreds of years were re-opened and remembered again.
The ancient old books in Xuanyi Palace were dug out one by one. The slips that were once used by people from the Chunguan lineage of Xin State recorded in detail the rituals of worshiping the heavens, the Eunuchi Ceremony, etc. at that time, and the purple phoenix flag with a black background that had been lost for hundreds of years.
Also reappeared.
"Today, we have regained the name of the Eunuchs, and we are willing to serve as kings of the government, establish a society in Lianshan, punish sins on behalf of heaven, break the evil government of the puppet government, and revive a prosperous country."
Word by word, as if in sorrow, these old men in black knelt on the ground, raised the wine bowls in their hands, tremblingly read out the words of the blood oath, and then drank the blood-stained wine one by one.
Finally, with the sound of breaking, these wine bowls were thrown to the ground and turned into pieces.
On the land, large flags with animal horns were raised one after another, and the whimpering horns like howling wolves echoed endlessly in the wilderness. Countless black flags were once again flying on this land, just like the clear laws of the eagles hundreds of years ago.
Under the command, all the tribes in the seven continents were united and united, a grand occasion.
————
In the interior of the dynasty, on the straight roads leading to the various states and counties, messengers carrying flags ran quickly, announcing the death of the emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne in all directions.
For a time, the world was pure and white scarf flags were flying in every state and city. All officials and sergeants wore white linen and white scarves to mourn the late emperor.
But amid the mourning, there were also many state pastors and frontier officials who questioned and did not believe the decree conveyed by Luo Jingzhong.
The emperor and the queen died almost on the same day, and the one who ascended the throne was neither King Dai, who had a strong foundation, nor King Huainan, who was strong enough to support the building, but an unknown young son. Many local officials did not even recognize him.
Prince Zhaolong.
In a hurry, all kinds of suspicions filled the dynasty. At this time, the two kings who were still rushing to Luojing immediately sent out documents to all states in the world, mobilized troops to serve the king, and eliminated the treasonous king.
Almost at the same time, officials in all states and counties were faced with the choice of whether to listen to Prince Zhaolong, who had just ascended the throne in Luo Jing, or to King Dai or King Huainan, who had already accumulated considerable prestige.
Some remote corners of the continents and counties can barely maintain neutrality and silence, but several continents located in the middle of the dynasty are faced with difficult choices. On the one hand, there is no bottom line at all, but the procedures are extremely correct and the new emperor with the name of righteousness,
On the other hand, there are the two kings who are getting closer to me and have written letters asking me to visit them.
Chaos began to appear in many state capitals. Some state pastors and local captains had disagreements and fought among themselves, while others took action in advance and firmly controlled the state capitals in their own hands.
Now the new emperor is very suspicious, and the two kings have no edicts, which means that on the surface, they no longer have strong control over the states and counties. In order to protect themselves, the states and counties began to recruit troops, and in the past, they never participated in government affairs.
The major factions also began to have in-depth contact with local officials, and new alliances of forces began to form. The past order and system began to collapse at an extremely fast speed.
The roads between various places were gradually cut off, bandits were rampant, and the entire dynasty quickly declined and collapsed in a ripple reaction. The once powerful official system of the Four Seasons gradually became independent of each other and no longer unified.
In December, there is a severe cold, and strange beasts appear.
A blue monster with a leopard's head and a dragon's body, two wings on its back, and six claws stepping on the ground appeared in the south of Qianzhou. The embankment collapsed and the water flooded thousands of miles. The land of the three continents was filled with mourning people. The five factions fought together and couldn't stop it. They were lying dead.
There are countless crows and owls filling the sky, and the river is full of putrid odor.
However, the two kings brought thousands of troops and marched against the capital, leaving no time for others to take care of them. The dynasty was full of chaos, hundreds of continents in the world were in charge of their own affairs, and everyone was in danger.
On the right day of the spring moon, the black bird's smoke comes out, and the seven continents of Qian Lei raise the flag of the phoenix bird. Everyone calls out the name of the bird, with black scarf and black armor, destroying the mountains and attacking the criminals, and then establishes the country of Xin.
