Chapter 2125 The Sky Is Getting Dark
The largest mountain range in the snowy area is called "Polar Tianque".
It is also known as "Tianshan".
The highest peak in the Polar Tianque Mountains is called "Eternal Holy Winter." According to legend, it is also the oldest ice peak in the snowy area, standing since ancient times. Despite the vicissitudes of life, everything has changed, but it has always remained the same, and together with the ice and snow that has relied on it for many years, it has built the current polar sky.
It is also what Shopkeeper Bai often talks about as "the peak that never changes on the Tianshan Mountains".
The thick white snow cannot hide the steepness of this peak.
There is white mist going up the mountainside.
Above the vast white mist are thunderclouds that have persisted for years.
Higher up among the sea-like thunderclouds, the sun shines brightly and shines brightly for thousands of miles.
The part of Eternal Holy Winter Peak that protrudes from the Thunder Sea is still several thousand feet long. It is like the tip of a spear, with the sea of thunder as its tassel.
At the top of the mountain, the snow has not melted. Sitting in the snow is a stern man with black hair hanging down his shoulders.
Of course he is Fu Huan.
The most powerful man in the snowy region, a Taoist sitting on Shengdong Peak.
When the world of Shenxiao was upgraded, the top two races of the human race and the demon race met through the "karma skylight" built by Cicada's Dharma Fate and Monkey King Xingkong. He was one of the people who took action on the human race's side.
His qualifications are extraordinary. He was already a Yandao before the Snow Country was founded!
It was he and Hong Junyan, the Taizu of the Snow Kingdom, who established this great northwest country that dominated the snowy region and guarded the polar sky.
He is also one of the few extremely powerful people who has been active since the beginning of the Taoist calendar.
During the period when modern times came to an end and the Taoist calendar began, too many outstanding people emerged in the world, and there was a surge of geniuses. But as time goes by, the pattern of the world becomes more stable, and the bright stars that once shone in the sky gradually dim. Those names that people are familiar with, the fall of the fallen, the seclusion of the seclusion, the latent cultivation of the latent cultivation, or the plan for eternal life, or the plan for transcendence, are not very obvious to others.
Those who are still famous, such as Zixu Zhenjun Zong Dezhen, almost never come down the mountain again after walking up Yujing Mountain.
Only Fu Huan is always active on the real stage.
It was he who assisted Hong Junyan in founding the country; it was he who wrote the teachings of the Cold Winter Sect; it was he who stabilized the situation in the Snow Kingdom after Hong Junyan's death; it was he who selected the "Son of Winter" once every hundred years and accepted him as his personal disciple. Cultivating generations of geniuses for the Snow Country; it was he who forced Beitian Master Wu Daoyou to write down a thousand-year promise to ensure the continuation of the Snow Country in the ancient Demon-Slaying Covenant after the death of the Frost Immortal Lord in the past...
The status of such a character in the Snow Country can be imagined.
He is history and the present, a beacon and a pillar.
He is not a god, but in the hearts of the Snow Country people, he has a higher status than a god.
At this moment, he was wearing a loose thin shirt, barefoot, sitting alone in the snow.
He seemed to have been sitting for a long time, motionless. His eyes were fixedly looking ahead, wondering what he was thinking. The sea of thunder, the snowy land, and the sky are all in front of him, but they are not in his eyes.
Until a certain moment, snow began to fall in front of him, and the snowflakes fell into the shape of a human figure, sitting quietly on his knees.
Fu Huan blinked, and the world became vivid.
"In the Ming Dynasty," he said, "How many years have you been a bishop?"
Shen Mingshi, the bishop of Dongya Diocese, is the head of the five bishops of the Winter Sect, also known as...the number one disciple in the snowy region!
At this time, he knelt down in front of Fu Huan and replied firmly: "It has been three hundred and sixteen years."
His voice was like snow, still very clear in the air, but invisible after it landed on the ground.
"Time...time flies so fast." Fu Huan said in an incomprehensible tone, "You have watched Hong Xingjian grow up."
"Yes, the king is still very young." Shen Mingshi said.
Fu Huan asked again: "Is there someone from Taixu Pavilion?"
Shen Mingshi replied: "This is Jiang Wang. You took action from afar and brought him back to the demon world."
"Young hero!" Fu Huan made a brief comment and then asked, "What is he doing now?"
Shen Mingshi said: "He... didn't do anything. He was very busy on the first day. He went to Hanhua City, met with Nalan Longzhi, chatted with the Winter Emperor, and also caught some criminals and went to Hanhua City. The government office then took Wei Yu away - and then there was nothing more. The rest of the time was spent meditating in the Taixu Corner Tower originally built by the Taixu Sect. "
Fu Huan burst into laughter: "He is a smart man, but we seem to be unsmart."
"The Taixu Illusion Realm has become a general trend, the torrent of humanity is unstoppable, and the full opening of Snow Country is inevitable." Shen Mingshi said solemnly: "Sooner or later. Are you... ready?"
Fu Huan didn't answer, but just looked outside the mountain, looking at the distance covered by thousands of years of thunderclouds: "Look over there, what do you see?"
"Sky, thunderclouds and snow."
"Further."
Shen Mingshi said: "Killing intention and resentment."
Fu Huan said: "In the past, the Human Emperor Suiren clan made an agreement with hundreds of ancient tribes and made a great oath, swearing that 'the human race will never be destroyed, and the hundreds of tribes will never be destroyed', so he won the support of the hundreds of tribes and raised the flag to defeat the monsters together. Later, he also won over the Dragon Clan. The rebellion eventually overthrew the ancient heaven and ended the Dark Ages.
"But the hundreds of tribes took credit for their achievements and were greedy, asking for and asking for things again and again. They were also unruly by nature and refused to obey discipline, causing many troubles.
"So the Suiren clan spent a huge price, bypassed the ancient vows, and joined forces with the ancient dragon emperor Panwu clan to start a war between hundreds of races. The so-called 'dragons and humans, destroy hundreds of races.' Some of the ancient races fled to the heavens, and some completely surrendered. After integrating into the human race, most of them were killed. The resentment of the dead strong men remained in the dark place, and the land of sunset... turned into Shura."
"Ming Dynasty." Fu Huan asked: "Today's people look back on the past, and many of them can only guess. Are you saying that hundreds of tribes in ancient times were indeed in trouble?"
Shen Mingshi said calmly: "Maybe."
Fu Huan sighed: "Yes, maybe."
"We have been ready to open for a long time, it just takes a little time." Shen Mingshi said softly: "With you here, no matter who you are, you should be more patient."
"The men are asuras and the women are Rakshasa. This clan is born for killing." Fu Huan said: "Everyone knows that the Qin State suppresses Yu Yuan and Wuguan locks the Wei River. But they don't know that the Snow State also guards the entrance of Yu Yuan. Xu Wang killed A Ye and Ji. , shocked the world, didn’t I kill King Shura?”
He stood up in the snow, stepped on the snow with his bare feet, and walked to the edge of the cliff: "What is the polar heaven? It is the gate of heaven on earth! The sun has set in Yuyuan here, so it is getting late."
"To a certain extent, this is fair." Shen Mingshi knelt and sat motionless: "We refuse to communicate with the outside world, and our honor is not known."
"There are three entrances to Yuyuan in the world, one in Qin Kingdom, one in Snow Kingdom, and one in Yujing Mountain. The entrance on Yujing Mountain has been completely sealed as early as the medieval era. So after the new beginning of Dao Li, It is the Qin State and the Snow State that share the responsibility." Fu Huan said with emotion: "Hong Junyan regretted it until his death - it was a pity that he also guarded Yu Yuan and had the merit of suppressing Shura. Not only did the Snow State fail to dominate the world, he also regretted it. It is impossible to even establish a region like Jing Kingdom and Mu Kingdom."
Shen Mingshi pondered: "The Taizu didn't go east back then, which is why I can't understand it."
Fu Huandao: "The main reason was our decision-making mistakes. During that period, everyone had generally realized that the national system would become the mainstream of the world, and the power of the times was reflected in the country. Ji Yusu established the capital in Tianjing and was the first country to be founded. In the following twenty years, various countries All kinds of countries sprung up, and all kinds of careerists appeared, but they were all easily crushed in front of Ji Yusu's soldiers... It wasn't until the twenty-fourth year of Daoli that Si Yanqiu ascended the throne in the Eastern Region and established the Yang Kingdom. For once, Ji Yusu's crazy expansion momentum was truly curbed.
"The snowy terrain is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a good place for development behind closed doors. Hong Junyan and I chose to establish our country here to prevent the new regime from being easily crushed in the turbulent times and to seek a stable period of development.
"Back then, Ji Yusu, Ji Yanqiu, Ying Yunian, Helian Qingtong, Zong Dezhen... were all unparalleled heroes, each more fierce than the last. The heroes fought with each other, and there were beacons everywhere. They turned the world into a millstone of flesh and blood, and strangled countless people. careerist."
"Hong Junyan believed that we should accumulate strength and wait for the right time. When the world is in chaos and all parties are exhausted, we can then go east and south, clean up the mountains and rivers, and establish the cauldron in one fell swoop. So he locked up the country in the name of suppressing Shura, focused on the Yuyuan War, and drilled his troops.
"Unfortunately, the world was changing, and Tang Yu came out of nowhere. He suppressed the Heavenly King of Shenchi, conquered the Shenchi Shui Tribe, built a city called 'Jidu', and named it 'Emperor Suppresses Evil'. He gathered all the forces in Jingdi and established an unprecedented military empire. It also blocked our way out east.
"And there is Qiangyong in the south, and the iron rope crosses the pass. Jing State only needs one army to rush to support, and we will not be able to advance south.
"The snowy land is our fertile soil, but also our prison. In the end, we can only watch the storm outside the pass, watch the world's pattern be determined, and become spectators of the times in the age of heroes."
Fu Huan's voice was full of regrets, but after thousands of years, it was faintly scattered in the wind.
It was also the first time Shen Mingshi heard about this period of history in detail, and he sighed for a moment: "The history books are so brief, and there are so many stories!"
Fu Huan looked at the thunder clouds for a while and then asked: "What has the Winter Emperor been doing recently?"
Throughout the history of the Snow Country, among the strongest young people in the past, Xu Qiuci was the only one who did not come from Fu Huan's sect. Later, she also created the highest achievement of the genius of the Snow Country and became the famous Frost Immortal Lord.
And Xie Ai is the daughter of winter of this generation, and she is also the genius taught by Fu Huan himself, and she has performed well on the river viewing platform. But overnight, he suddenly became the reincarnation of Xu Qiuci, and now he is the Winter Emperor.
Shen Mingshi shook his head: "I only know that she is hunting down Nalan Longzhi, and is also tracking down the location of Tiantian Mansion... The whereabouts of Lord Winter Emperor is not something I can spy on."
"Shou Tian Mansion...Nalan Longzhi..." Fu Huan murmured: "When I was young, I met a man named Pu Shun'an. He said that he was the master of Tou Tian Mansion. But I still don't know what this sect does. ”
"Where did you see the master of Tou Tian Mansion?" Shen Mingshi said: "Perhaps we can deduce the location of Tou Tian Mansion from his whereabouts."
"I didn't meet him in reality." Fu Huan obviously didn't want to say more: "That was a long time ago..."
Shen Mingshi asked: "So, what was stolen from the Winter Emperor? They have never been content with the world, but this time they took the initiative to come to the door, will they--"
"Who knows? Maybe the Winter Emperor is willing to talk about it someday." Fu Huan said quietly: "Don't worry about Stealing Heaven Mansion, they never interfere in the present world."
Shen Mingshi nodded: "Then what should we do next?"
"Let's move forward as usual." Fu Huan said, "It's time to end all this."
…
…
The diligent member of the cabinet, Jiang, practiced diligently for many days in the Taixu Corner Tower of Xueji City, and waited diligently until the second Taixu meeting started.
He was in the Snow Country, but he did not come in person, but entered the Taixu Pavilion in the way of entering the Taixu Illusion.
Still on the huge round platform surrounded by starlight, member of the cabinet Jiang showed his body and sat quietly on the chair - he subconsciously glanced at Li Yi's seat, which was still empty, but the other members of the cabinet had already arrived.
When they met again today, everyone was very hazy, unlike the first meeting, when everyone was in person.
"How is member Jiang's work in the Snow Country going?" Dou Zhao looked at Jiang Wang with a squint, his expression was very unhappy. It seemed that he had completely forgotten that the reason why Jiang Wang was asked to do this was because of his strong recommendation.
Jiang Wang remained calm: "It is progressing steadily."
Dou Zhao bared his teeth: "It's been a month. Even if Qin Zhizhen is sent, the matter should be over!"
The main reason for his dissatisfaction with Jiang Wang is the intelligence issue.
After the surname Jiang went to the Snow Country, he was very active at first and quickly got the information about Wei Yu. But after receiving the high intelligence fee, it immediately fell into the sea. No matter how he urged, he did not give any new progress, not even a reply.
He thought that the situation in the Snow Country was too complicated, and the surname Jiang was probably fighting wits and courage with his poor brain, which was very hard. He also expressed his understanding many times.
But later, he used the intelligence system of the Chu State to investigate and found out that this guy did nothing but take Wei Yu to practice in Xueji City!
Do you still remember what you went to the Snow Country for?
Is it a public travel?
Or making friends at public expense?
Qin Zhizhen frowned when he heard this: "Why do you think what cabinet member Dou said is so unpleasant to me?"
"If it's unpleasant, just stuff your ears with a ball of cotton!" Dou Zhao said impatiently: "So, you still want me to coax you?"
"Taixu Pavilion is not your arena." Ju Kui said sternly: "Cabinet members, don't provoke each other. If you do this again, I will impeach you!"
Qin Zhizhen was stopped before he could fight back, and he had to hold back all his words.
Dou Zhao didn't seem to think that Ju Kui was criticizing him, and stared at Cabinet Member Jiang and started to yell: "I knew you weren't serious. The last meeting ended, and you went to drink with Huang Sheli first! Did you consider the mission in your heart?!"
Huang Sheli didn't tolerate him: "Dou, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! Is it your turn to meddle in the private lives of cabinet members?"
Jiang Wang seemed to feel Zhong Xuanyin's gaze again, and hurriedly said: "We don't have any private life, we just drink together."
Huang Sheli spread his hands: "I didn't say anything else."
"Nothing else!"
Huang Sheli smiled: "Okay, whatever you say."
Later, Ju Kui had a headache every time the 9th came, but at this time, he had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Just reiterated: "The second Taixu meeting has officially begun, please stop talking about irrelevant things."
"Then let's continue talking about the mission." Dou Zhao pursued: "Isn't it time for Member Jiang to report on his work?"
Jiang Wang said calmly: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the mission, I will do my best to avoid any behavior that may lead to leaks. After the mission is over, I will of course report to you, but now - I have nothing to say."
"Okay." Dou Zhao laughed angrily: "Now you tell me you have nothing to say, right!"
"Although Member Dou is targeting me, I have no intention of targeting Member Dou." Jiang Wang said calmly: "Some secret arrangements are not easy to tell the public in advance. I believe that with the help of Member Dou, It is not difficult to understand the wisdom of the staff. In addition, even my words have actually leaked the secret. Dou Geyuan had better pray that my next plan will not be affected, otherwise it is difficult for me not to doubt your intentions in asking questions. "
Compared with the emotionally stable Jiang Geyuan, Dou Geyuan is obviously much more impulsive, and his eyes are fierce for a while: "What are you doubting? You might as well make it clearer."
Jiang Wang shrugged his shoulders: "It's useless to say more, let time test it."
After all, he didn't want to make things too awkward with Dou Zhao, the big buyer of intelligence, so he turned his eyes: "Hey, why hasn't Li Yi come yet?"
Dou Zhao was really angry: "This is contempt for Taixu Pavilion and contempt for everyone present. Remove his chair!"
