Chapter 28: After the Mushroom

Mow Lei Qizhou, Lei Xiaze.

This large city between the water and mountains has gathered countless figures today. The lakes and swamps that used to be full of reeds and aquatic plants have been filled and compacted. The men and women dressed in local clothes are like the ocean.

Five-color silk thread woven pendants are hung around their waists, and some are covered with purple and black headscarves. Many men carry a long and narrow knife around their waists, walking in this Lei Xia Ze, where there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. This configuration is necessary.

It's just that today is different from the past. The golden and red flags in the city that symbolized the Plantagenet Dynasty are long gone, but instead are a piece of black background, purple-dyed flags, and there are more than one side, the countless high black flags on the ground. The purple-dyed flag fluttered in the breeze, like a black ocean, silent and solemn.

The big drums covered with animal skins rang in the hands of the bare-armed, bare-chested men. The sound was not hurried, but it was like classical music, very solemn.

In the sound of this drum, an old man in black costume held a white bone wat in his hand, forming two rows in parallel, walking slowly on the main road among the crowd in the wilderness, and around the sides of the road, Each of the local ethnic groups in black clothes and black armor stood upright with black flags high. Although they had different heights and weapons, their aura of reverence and solemnity was not found in any scattered forces.

The wilderness is full of people. Most of them are residents living in the poor mountains and waters of the seven continents. Their customs and habits are also different from those of the people in the Central Plains. White or black paint, some ears are strung with sporadic wood and bone ornaments, and there are belts woven with five-color silk threads.

Today, all the tribes in the Seven Continents of Murdering Thunder gathered here, quietly watching the old men from the 'Xuanyi Palace' faction walking on the main road, and at the end of this main road there is a three-story building. 's high platform.

There is a large bronze cauldron on the high platform, and there are burning fires behind it. In the daytime, the fire is like a lake, and the black smoke floats up into the sky, outlining the misty cloud and smoke in the sky. painting.

The 'Xuanyi Palace' originated from the ancient state of Xin, and was inherited by the officials of Xin Guochun at that time. After the fall of the scorpion, the line of Xuanfeng withered, and there is no direct lineage, and the 'Xuanyi Palace' is rare. Yes, the faction that still inherits the lineage of the scorpion, although it is not powerful, it is still difficult to inherit in the sinister landscape of the seven continents.

Now, with the sound of the drum bell, these old men of Xuanyi Palace slowly climbed up the high platform, and then knelt down in unison, bowing to the sky and the sky.

"Inform the world—"

"We, there are Xin Zimin—"

"Xuanfeng, after the scorpion—"

After a lapse of more than seven hundred years, the sound of 'After the scorpion' brought tears to the eyes of countless people present, their eyes were like lakes, and their expressions were uncontrollable. Min slowly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head willingly in front of the purple-black phoenix slowly condensing in the sky.

Since the owls left, these small mountain tribes living in the poor mountains and bad waters have no one to protect them anymore. They can only watch this piece of land deplete step by step again, flooded with water, poisonous insects breed, and evil birds do not cross, and then Even if he wanted to fight outside, he would fail again and again. When Xin Guo was destroyed, there would be no more major sects in the Seven Continents of Gulei, and the Xuanfeng sect withered and fell apart.

Now, the disaster of the dragon vein strikes again. In the past few years, the water has flooded Minze, the wasteland has been dry, and monsters have frequently appeared. The already sinister environment has further deteriorated. Many villages and gathering places in the deep mountains have even begun to disappear, and many people have been displaced. , Some died of famine, some died of the migration and attack of monsters, even if the local factions tried their best, some could not maintain the only stability.

The order began to collapse, and in order to suppress and appease, the dynasty had to pay for work, prepare to repair the river, and cut through the seven continents to solve the problem.

In the past, when the dynasty was prosperous, this disaster would not necessarily be uneven, but it is a pity that now all parts of the world are in chaos and all need help. On the dry land of the river, the food and money that should be distributed are delayed.

Mourning blood was everywhere, and strange voices were heard everywhere. The ancient scrolls and the country in memory were once again sung, and the memories that had been buried for hundreds of years were re-released and recollected.

The ancient books in the Xuanyi Palace have been turned out one by one. It was once used as a manuscript with the lineage of Xin Guochun officials to record in detail the rituals of sacrifice to the sky, the grand ceremony, etc., and the flag of the purple phoenix on a black background that has disappeared for hundreds of years. also reincarnated.

"Today, we have resumed the name of the scorpion, and we are willing to serve the lord of the government, establish a society in the mountains, punish crimes on behalf of the heavens, break the evil government of the puppet dynasty, and rejuvenate the country of prosperity."

Word by word, like sadness, these old men in black knelt on the ground, raised the wine bowl in their hands, and trembled to read the blood oath, and then one by one drank the blood-stained wine.

Finally, with the sound of shattering, the wine bowls fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

On the ground, a large flag with animal horns was raised, and the whimpering horn resounded like a wolf howling in the wilderness. Countless pitch-black flags flew again on this land, just like the clear laws of the owls hundreds of years ago. Under the order, in the seven continents of Mow Lei, the grand occasion of the unity of all the tribes and the unanimous unity.

————

In the interior of the dynasty, on the straight road leading to the states and counties, a messenger carrying a flag galloped fast, announcing the news of the emperor's death and the new emperor's enthronement to all directions.

For a time, the world was covered with white cloth and white scarves and banners fluttered in various states and cities. All officials and sergeants wore white linen and white scarves to mourn the late emperor.

But in this mourning, many state shepherds and frontier officials questioned and did not believe the will conveyed by Luo Jingzhong.

emperor and queen

He almost died on the same day, and the one who ascended the throne was neither the deeply rooted King Dai nor the King Huainan who was strong enough to support the building, but a young son who was not even known. Many local officials did not even know this Zhaolong. prince.

In a hurry, all kinds of doubts flooded the dynasty, and the two kings who were still running to Luojing at this time also immediately sent payment documents to all the states in the world, dispatched troops to diligent kings, and removed the rebel kings.

Almost at the same time, officials in various states and counties were faced with a choice, whether to listen to Prince Zhaolong who had just ascended to the throne in Luojing, or King Dai or King Huainan who had accumulated a lot of prestige.

Some continents in remote corners can barely keep their neutrality and silence, but several continents located in the middle of the dynasty are faced with difficult choices. On the other hand, it was the second king who was getting closer and closer to him and sent a letter asking him to see him.

Chaos began to appear in many continents. Some state shepherds and local captains disagreed, and they fought directly within themselves.

Today, the new emperor is very suspicious, and the two kings have no edict, which means that there is no longer a strong control over the states and counties. The big faction also began to have in-depth contact with local officials, and new alliances of forces began to form, and the old order and system began to collapse at an extremely fast speed.

The roads between different places were gradually cut off, bandits were rampant, and the entire dynasty quickly declined and collapsed in a ripple reaction.

In December, it is very cold, and strange animals appear.

The head of a leopard, the body of a dragon, the wings on its back, the blue-blue monster with six claws on the ground appeared in the south of Jinzhou. Countless, crows fill the sky, and the rotten rivers fill the river.

Of course, the two kings, with an army of a thousand cavalry, led their divisions to attack the capital, and had no time to take care of others. There were wolves in the dynasty, and hundreds of continents in the world were governed by their own, and everyone was in danger.

When the spring moon is right, the smoke of the mysterious bird is coming out, and the seven continents of Mow Lei raise the flag of the phoenix bird again.
