A figure slowly walked out of the forest in the thick fog. She was not tall and thin, and she was dressed in simple village clothes. However, in the dark night, the girl's eyes were like two shining stars, very moving.
Ding Meng has already greeted him: "Sister Wenhe!"
Ding Wenhe's expression was also a little excited: "Brother Ding Meng, you are finally here. I haven't seen you for a long time."
Ding Meng sighed: "It's been three years."
Ding Wenhe looked around: "Why don't you see brother Zheng Ming? Didn't he come with you?"
Ding Meng sighed even louder: "Brother Zheng Ming died a year ago."
Ding Wenhe was suddenly stunned: "How is that possible?"
Ding Meng Shao had to tell what happened along the way once, and Ding Wenhe's eyes fell on Long Yao, who was holding his breath with his legs crossed under the tree next to him: "Mr. Yu and his wife are very righteous, and Wen He admires them very much!"
Long Yao opened her eyes: "You're welcome, Miss Wenhe. The Dasheng Dynasty is currently at war with the Cang Ming Empire. The border has been completely blocked. The demonic kingdom outside the territory cannot return. I sent Ding Meng here to deliver it to you.
My mission has been completed, please take care of yourself."
She stood up and seemed to be leaving, but Ding Wenhe immediately stepped forward to support her: "Mrs. Yu, please stay. You are seriously injured. Please come to my place to recover first."
The fog is thicker at the end of the jungle, but there is a truly towering tree growing in the fog. If it can be described, the size of this super tree is no less than that of a mid-level starship. It is hundreds of meters high.
All kinds of tree trunks, branches and leaves are intertwined and connected with countless exotic flowers and plants. The whole tree is glowing with emerald green and looks like a green mountain from a distance. In Dasheng Kingdom, this kind of tree is called a holy tree.
The holy tree is the foundation of the Dasheng Dynasty. This tree contains huge energy, nourishes the nearby land, regulates the air, soil, climate, and environment. Source energy users can also absorb the source energy from the breath emanating from the tree, so
The Holy Tree is the truly supreme being in the kingdom.
In normal times, the holy trees are almost always enshrined, but in times of war, the holy trees are usually used as shelters. No matter how fierce the fighting between the enemy and us is, the holy trees are rarely affected. If someone touches the holy tree,
It will be regarded as violating a taboo and is not allowed by nature.
Before dawn, the huge open space under the sacred tree was crowded with people. These were people fleeing the war, plague, famine, and injuries that had left most people dying.
Ding Wenhe explained: "This is the last shelter left in the main border city."
Long Yao was surprised: "Did the Cang Ming Empire's army destroy other holy trees?"
Ding Wenhe nodded with a heavy expression.
Long Yao was even more surprised: "In my impression, the Cangming Empire has always been friendly and peaceful. How come they want to destroy even the sacred tree? Aren't they afraid of being punished by God?"
Ding Wenhe said: "This time is different. The king of the Cangming Empire passed away two years ago. The successor king invited a prophet from nowhere. This prophet went to fight everywhere, aiming at the holy tree. Both the foreign demon country and the kingdom of immortal wandering were attacked.
When it came to the invasion, many sacred trees were destroyed, and this time they targeted our Kingdom of Dasheng, and their target was also the sacred trees."
Ding Meng was also puzzled: "Don't they know that once the sacred tree is destroyed, all the nearby ground will rot?"
Ding Wenhe said: "It's impossible for them not to know!"
"This..." Ding Meng and Long Yao both felt incredible.
"With the border now like this, our kingdom won't be indifferent, right?" Long Yao was a little worried.
Ding Wenhe said: "The monarch has sent troops to reinforce here, and the leader is Tian Qing, the general of our kingdom."
Hearing the name Tianqing, Ding Meng and Long Yao suddenly felt a shadow in their hearts. Once Tianqing arrives at the border, it will definitely not be a good thing for Ding Meng.
Ding Wenhe seemed to know what they were thinking, and took the initiative to wave to them: "Ding Meng, come with me, big brother is waiting for you."
The interior of the central trunk of the holy tree is like a starship, divided into several areas and countless spaces, with passages extending in all directions.
In a small and simple room, a group of colorful energy balls were suspended in the air. A man and a woman were standing next to the energy ball, seeming to carefully observe its changes.
The man is tall and has an extraordinary bearing. Although his face has some vicissitudes of life, the bravery and handsomeness of his youth can still be seen vaguely. The woman is obviously younger than the man, but has a beautiful face and graceful bearing. You can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary person.
These two people are none other than the first owner of the heroic knife, the eldest brother and his wife, the princess.
Ding Meng quickly stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully: "Brother!"
The eldest brother turned to look at him with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Brother Ding!"
Ding Meng immediately took out the knife he carried with him. The eldest brother took the hero's knife and looked at it repeatedly with emotion: "From Huzi to Wenhe, and then to you and Zheng Ming, I didn't expect this knife to be enough."
It has lasted fifteen generations, and everyone has paid too much for it."
Ding Meng said: "Mr. Yu can be regarded as its descendant."
The elder brother looked a little excited and murmured: "Yu Xingyang, I really didn't expect you to be such a upright and good man. Let's look at the heroes in the world today. If you are not the number one swordsman, then who is worthy of you?"
Long Yao quickly bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you very much, brother."
The eldest brother then handed the knife back to Ding Meng and said seriously: "Brother Ding, actually even if you don't send a signal to Wen He, Madam already knows that two descendants will arrive here tonight."
"Oh?" Ding Meng and Long Yao were surprised again.
The princess then took two steps forward and said softly: "To tell you the truth, I am also a prophet and have some knowledge of furry arts."
For the Dasheng Civilization, prophets are very powerful beings. They do not possess military force themselves, but they can predict the past and the future. If it is in Shenghui Civilization, prophets are equivalent to very high-level data masters. Data engineers can use various methods to predict the past and future.
Use equipment, skills, mental methods, data, and laws to calculate, calculate, simulate, and deliberate to arrive at probabilities and results. However, in the Dasheng Civilization, the prophet can directly contact the holy tree and use the power of the holy tree to do this.
.
Sure enough, the princess stretched out her hand and lightly touched the surface of the colorful energy ball, and the air immediately fluctuated, transforming into a circular mirror. From the mirror, you can see Ding Meng and Long Yao marching hard in the wilderness under the night, and Long Yao.
Yao was waving the Lingxian Sword to resist the Kingdom soldiers who were coming from behind. Judging from the geographical location, the two of them should be in the outer suburbs of the main border city.
The eldest brother said respectfully: "It is widely said that the Lingxian Sect's swordsmanship is unparalleled. When I see it today, it is truly a well-deserved reputation."
Long Yao lowered his head and said, "I don't dare!"
The princess flicked her backhand again, and the picture on the mirror changed again. On the vast plain, the mighty Kingdom army was marching towards the border. On the other side of the border, there was also a tidal wave of troops, but carefully
If you look at it, you will find that there are many monsters and beasts mixed in the army of the Cangming Empire. The two sides have only one thing in common, that is, the number is extremely terrifying, completely submerging the ground.
Once an army of this size engages in battle, it will bring about a doomsday-like catastrophe.
The princess waved her hand again, and the mirror disappeared. Ding Wenhe said sadly: "Brother, can this sacred tree be saved?"
The eldest brother was sighing: "Yes, we are surrounded from all sides, and civilization will be razed to the ground the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Ding Wenhe said: "What should we do with so many victims? Have we given up?"
The princess suddenly walked slowly around the room. After a long time, she raised her head and sighed: "I heard my father talk about the holy tree when I was very young."
Everyone listened quietly.
"The holy tree did not originally belong to our world. It is said that the gods could not bear the suffering of the common people, so they sowed the holy seeds, and finally grew into a holy tree to protect the people of the land and water." The princess explained unhurriedly, "Every other
For sixty to seventy years, the sacred tree will predict peace or disaster."
"Foreshadowing?" Everyone was very surprised.
The princess nodded and said: "Yes, to be precise, the holy tree represents the will of the gods. Whoever it chooses is the key clue to peace or disaster, that is, the chosen one, so the armies of the two countries rushed here.
Brother Ding and you two appear here, this is not an accident, it is destined."
This statement is really mysterious and mysterious, but because it came from the princess's mouth, everyone had no choice but to believe it.
The princess murmured: "Everything in the world complements each other and is natural. All wonderful connections can be traced beforehand. Take your husband's heroic knife as an example. It was brought into the military camp by you from the beginning, and where you are
The army happened to be the Tianqing Camp. You met me again after you were captured. When I released you, I returned the knife to you. You passed it on
It was awarded to Miss Wenhe, and Wenhe was later passed on to Zheng Ming and Ding Meng. During this period, it defeated Yu Xingyang in the Martial Arts Conference, and the one who was defeated by Yu Xingyang was Tian Qing, but Zheng Ming lost his life at the hands of Tian Qing.
...Therefore, I firmly believe that this knife is destined to cycle through cause and effect among you people. This knife of fate has returned to the starting point tonight, and it is bound to reincarnate again."
Although her words were brief, everyone felt the mystery of worldly affairs, and it seemed that there were really divine arrangements in the world.
Just like what the princess said, eldest brother, princess, Tian Qing, Yu Xingyang, Ding Wenhe, Ding Meng, Zheng Ming, all of them have direct or indirect connections with this heroic knife. There are always people who will die because of it.
Death seems to be an inevitable fate.
The eldest brother hesitated and said: "You mean..."
The princess immediately interrupted him with a solemn expression: "Yes, the end is coming and it will be difficult for us to escape."
The eldest brother hesitated for a long time, and his expression became firm again: "No matter what, the tens of thousands of people here cannot die unexpectedly, and they cannot become victims."
The princess suddenly said: "The distinguished guest has arrived. Maybe this distinguished guest can take away this group of people."
The elder brother was shocked. His perception was so sharp that he immediately noticed someone coming from outside: "Let's get out!"
