Chapter 558 Demon Disaster
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Perhaps because he roared too violently, affecting his chest injury, Jin Wusuan covered his mouth and coughed violently. A little blood dripped between the fingers.
Staff Jin was still immersed in shock, subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
Jin Wusuan casually wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and continued: "In the explanation of Haotian Daomen, evil disasters are disasters caused by the world's disobedience to heaven and Haotian.
According to the explanation widely accepted by the academy and practice circles, the evil disaster means that a large number of monsters appeared together, broke through the invisible barriers of Haotian Bell and Haotian Bell, and entered the human settlement area.
There are many reasons for the evil disasters—a long and tragic war with countless dead will create evil spirits, ghosts, and zombies;
Natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis, will destroy the environment and release the monsters that live in the mountains and deep seas, creating evil disasters;
In addition to this, certain alienated objects can also independently cause evil disasters. "
Jin Wusuan is not wrong. In the textbook of "The Taxonomy of Alien Beasts" in the Academy, it is clearly stated that there are many causes of magic disasters, and there are many types.
"Yu State, interpreted the evil disaster 33 years ago as [a strong earthquake destroyed the environment of one hundred thousand barren mountains, causing a large number of monsters to flee and attack human cities and towns], which was purely caused by natural disasters.
The imperial court counted the losses afterwards, dispatched officials, monks, and Lifu, and spent countless manpower, material and financial resources to assist and support the reconstruction of Lingnan Road.
At that time, Lingnan Road was known as a thousand overlaps across mountains, and Manxi River was ten miles away.
The minority tribes such as 草, 獽, slang, Liao, and 竾 are clearly distinguished from the Han people, and their living environment and folk customs are very different. After hundreds of years of mediation, suppression, and support by different emperors in the Yu Kingdom, the contradictions are still sharp.
After a catastrophe with heavy casualties and post-disaster reconstruction, the two parties became as close as one family. The field of bamboo and barren grass has almost become a state of clothing and cultural relics.
To this day, if you go to the border of Lingnan Road, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the two except for the accent and clothing. "
This is not wrong. One of the achievements left by the first emperor of Yu State to future generations is the integration and assimilation of the Lingnan people.
"Unfortunately, all of this is fake."
Jin Wujuan chuckled, and said hoarsely: "The cause of the evil disaster was not an earthquake or natural disaster at all, but the selfish desires of the late Emperor Yu.
In order to continue his aging body, in order to be able to hold power for a while longer,
Instructing the masters of the palace enshrined and the Zhenfu Division, as well as the doctors in the academy who are absolutely loyal to him, to secretly sneak into the Hundred Thousand Barren Mountains,
Look for some kind of medicine. "
"Nonsense!"
A student of Luli Academy couldn't help scolding: "The demise of the former Sui Dynasty was because of the emperor's desire for immortality.
They disregard people's livelihood and abuse people's power to build giant ships that can pass through the endless sea, looking for so-called fairy mountains and elixir for them.
In the end, the living and the people were hung upside down, the world was in turmoil, and the Sui Kingdom fell.
The first emperor of Yu State saw all the tragic scenes after the collapse of the empire, unified the world, and established the ancestral precepts immediately after he established the Central Plains, never allowing Li Yu's descendants to seek longevity. "
"You're right, the first emperor of the Yu Kingdom knew well that it is impossible to live for hundreds of years, and immortality is even more nonsense-so many Zhu Xiao in history, and even the legendary practitioners of Linyuan Realm, have not been able to live forever. It can break through the cycle of life and death."
Jin Wusuan laughed hoarsely: "He is the fourth son of the Holy Empress, and he saw with his own eyes how the elder brothers in front of him were deposed, exiled, and killed one by one. He endured it for decades and experienced house arrest. , framed, exiled,
Finally overthrew his mother's rule, and let Yu State be controlled by Li Yu again.
What he wants is not longevity, but the second best thing, and wants to prolong his life for a few more years, more than ten years.
This greatly reduces the difficulty. Life extension is much more possible than longevity. "
The expression of that Luli Academy student changed slightly. Longevity and eternal life are obviously nonsense.
But the method of prolonging life does exist in the records of ancient books.
"The people enshrined in the imperial palace received orders and sneaked into the Hundred Thousand Barren Mountains.
Under the leadership of the academic doctors, avoid the poisonous insects, beasts, ghosts and demons in the barren mountains. Search for the life-prolonging medicine recorded in the ancient books of Taixuanzong of the former Sui Dynasty for the first emperor.
As a result, they did find it.
They were ecstatic and took that thing away from the Hundred Thousand Barren Mountains, but this move caused a catastrophe.
The strong earthquake destroyed the mountains,
Countless monsters living in the deep mountains poured out of the barren mountains one after another, entered the territory of Zhou State, Jing State, and Yu State, and slaughtered them wantonly.
The team headed by the palace enshrined may have been killed by a demon, or may have returned to Chang'an.
But the bad results they planted were borne by the people in the southern regions. "
A reminiscence expression appeared on Jin Wusuan's face, his eyes gradually lost his focus, and he said slowly: "It is hard for people who have never experienced a disaster to imagine what kind of picture it is.
In the sky, a falcon with a wingspan of three to four feet swooped down, piercing through the body of the cow and horse with one claw,
Millions, tens of millions of vampire bats cover the sky, like a dog eclipsing the sun, without a trace of sunlight.
As for the ground, countless kinds of monsters easily crushed the formation of human soldiers,
The spells, flying swords, and psychic devices of a few monks, even though they can stop the advancement of some demons, they can't stop the advancement of the entire demon disaster.
If you don't escape, you will be swallowed by the torrent of demons in an instant.
After discovering the evil disaster on the top of the mountain, the village chief immediately ran down the mountain and told everyone to hide in their homes and not to open the door and move around.
I was still young at the time, and I happened to be staying at my childhood sweetheart’s house, hiding under the bed with her family.
We listened to the pounding sound of the ground shaking, and dared not let out the air. After an hour, the sound of the ground shaking gradually stopped, and then we climbed out from under the bed board.
The village I live in is located in a remote mountain depression, seven or eight mountains away from the direction of the evil disaster. Fortunately, it was not destroyed.
Everyone was rejoicing for the rest of their lives, until at night, two young men fell from the sky.
They claimed to be Yu country monks, and showed the village chief a token to prove their identity. He also claimed that the evil disaster during the day was just the beginning, and there were still monsters pouring out from the barren mountains, and this time the direction of progress would sweep across the village.
Because of the evil disaster, there are mountain rats—the kind of monsters who are good at digging tunnels and burrows, and have an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
Therefore, hiding in caves, or using the monk's burrowing technique to hide in underground caves will not work.
If you want to survive, you must follow them and retreat to the north. "
"The two spoke sincerely, and the badges they carried proved their identities. So, the village head sent someone to inform each household that everyone only carried the necessary food and was going to leave at night and leave with the two.
Unexpectedly, that was the beginning of the disaster. "
