Chapter 1 Safe City 3

"Legendary: This land was once the place where God lived. Although it was abandoned by God later, the name Shenzhou was still preserved."

"However, when God left, part of their divinity could not be taken away. They did not want their divinity to be used by mortals at will, because they felt that the will of mortals was elusive, and they were worried that people would use their divinity to commit sins, so they tried every means to hide divinity in places that people could not find. But they also understood that whether it was placed on the top of a mountain or buried in the bottom of the abyss, one day people's footprints would spread to every corner of the world and would eventually get it."

Cen Shuang listened to the old man's words in a daze. Lan'er, who was cooking in the backyard, heard it, but curled her lips disapprovingly.

"In the end, God decided to hide the divinity in people's bodies. After thousands of years, as God expected, people never discovered the divinity contained in their bodies. However, although God did not use the divinity, after God left this land, people's hearts no longer had awe, and the world became a hell full of sins and suffering."

"Finally one day, a god named Xuanyuan saw the scene on earth. He advocated that everything belongs to heaven should awaken the divine nature in people's bodies, so that the divine nature can suppress the sins in their hearts and save themselves. But this was opposed by another god, and He was Chiyou. Chiyou advocated that everything belongs to dust. He believed that human sins can only be redeemed with death."

"In this way, they made a vow, and they each turned into mortals and were reborn in the world to see who was right. Decades later, they all became emperors of the world, and together with the other three emperors, they were the Five Emperors. The Qing Emperor was in charge of the land and sea in the east, the Bai Emperor was in charge of the desert and snowy land in the north, the Yan Emperor was in charge of the high mountains and ridges in the west, the Black Emperor Chiyou was in charge of the swamp rainforest in the south, and the Xuanyuan Huang Emperor was in charge of the vast Central Plains."

"The Five Emperors managed their people in their own way. Xuanyuan taught people the farming, technology, and the way of healing, while Chiyou implemented severe punishments and laws, which made the people under his rule suffer. Later, due to more and more differences, Huangdi and Chiyou went to war."

"The war quickly spread throughout the world, and the other three emperors also participated in helping Xuanyuan, but Chiyou always had the advantage in the war with his powerful divine power. The war fought from the human world to the divine realm, and then moved back to the human world from the divine realm. Even the gods were involved in this war, and many gods died, and humans were almost extinct. Until later, the divine nature in the human body was finally awakened in a desperate situation. Xuanyuan also finally defeated Chiyou with the help of man and unified the world."

"After that, Huangdi's rule on the earth lasted for hundreds of years. After his death, he returned to heaven under the witness of the world. But because Xuanyuan's arrival awakened the divine nature of man, from then on, whenever this land fell into troubled times, many people with special abilities would be born one after another, and they were divine masters."

Lan'er poked her head out from behind the courtyard gate and shouted to Cen Shuang: "The old man in the temple recites these every day, and the Yuanjing is all written on it." After that, she stuck out her tongue and made a face at the old man, "It's not as good as the ghost story you made up last night..."

The old man disagreed and took a sip of wine again, as if he was very excited.

"Almost every large-scale appearance of the Divine Awareness Master in history will be accompanied by the change of dynasties. Historians call their reincarnation a "divine period". After the previous divine period, the Zhou Dynasty, which is in the Xuanyuan period, was established on the ruins."

"Then..." Cen Shuang couldn't wait to ask: "When did this divine law start now?"

The old man did not answer Cen Shuang. He raised his head and immersed in his speech: "People have always argued about a question, that is, whether these divine enlightenment masters ended the troubled times, or in fact, the troubled times themselves were triggered by the divine enlightenment masters. But it is undisputed that, as today, the most respected and fearful one is the divine enlightenment masters. Even the kings of various countries respect these divine enlightenment masters with magical powers and ghosts, and try their best to recruit them. Because their magical abilities can not only protect the king from assassins, but also help them govern the country and reduce disasters. When the two countries are fighting, which side has more divine enlightenment masters, it will have a better chance of victory. Even the legendary divine enlightenment masters who were once powerful prying the stars in the sky for the king to change the fate of the dynasty."

"So," the old man lowered his head and looked at Cen Shuang and said, "For you warriors, the Divine Awakening Master is undoubtedly the biggest nemesis. I think all the warriors in the world must miss the cold weapon era when they could achieve unparalleled achievements with a three-foot sword."

The old man slowly moved his face away, looking at the light coming in from the door, as if he was in reverie: "However, a young man standing outside Pengquan City waved his palms three times, and the mighty warrior era was caught off guard."

His face suddenly became a little solemn: "The Di Hu tribe in the north and the Rong tribe in the west jointly launched a large-scale invasion a hundred years ago, and directly stepped into the kingdom of Haojing, the kingdom of the time. This was an unprecedented event, but historians still have a deep secret about this shameful history, so people in later generations could not imagine it at all. But as long as you know, even the emperor You of the then emperor was killed in this catastrophe, you can imagine how tragic the situation was. However, before the page of the history book could be written, it was thrown into the fire together with Haojing City and burned."

"Haojing City was originally a prosperous and beautiful city-state with mountains and rivers, fertile fields for thousands of miles. It has been the king's land since ancient times. Therefore, when the alien race broke through Haojing, it also broke through the entire era. When the fire burned out, the successor to the throne moved the position of the kingdom east to Luoyang, where the Holy Capital of the Holy See. Soon, troubled times followed one after another..."

"In less than ten years, the conquests and annexation between the princes had become unscrupulous, and there seemed to be no war in the world. Zheng State in the middle defeated the Wei State, Song State, Chen State, and Cai State, which were adjacent to it, and became a generation of overlords. Qin State in the west, and Chu State in the south quietly rose from the barbaric land. The east was the richest land in the world, but it was also uneasy. In Xuanyuan 287, Zhu, known as the most powerful country in the east, was known as the world's largest.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the eastern princes gathering on the top of Mount Tai to sacrifice the heavenly alliance, the country mobilized 50,000 Xiaoyi cavalry without warning to raid Mou Guo. The knights that drove straight into the sky seemed to have surrounded Pengquan City, the capital of Mou Guo, on the south bank of Wenshui in an instant. Mou Guo was just a small country, and at that time the king had already brought almost all the generals to Mount Tai. In addition to the common people, there were only a few thousand unmanned defenders left."

The old man took another sip of wine and continued to talk.

"Although the princes in the east have always understood King Zhu's ambitions, no one expected that he would not even miss the opportunity for the alliance. However, the most powerful country in the east was not a false reputation, and his 50,000 cavalry of the Xiaoyi cavalry could not easily compete with the army of other princes in the east. Therefore, when the monarch of the Mou Kingdom, who received urgent revelations, was crying and begging for the various countries to send troops to rescue at the alliance table, no one dared to respond. In the end, only the Qilu coalition forces went to Pengquan City, but they only arrived at the north bank of the Wenshui River, and shot a few arrows in scatteredly. Before they could fight with the main force of the Zhu army, they were in a panic."

"The people of Zhu have been brave and warlike since ancient times, and they are quite chivalrous. However, this time, 50,000 Xiaoyi Iron Cavalry surrounded outside Pengquan City without fighting. In fact, King Zhu did not take the small Mou Kingdom seriously, and even felt that it was not worthy of filling his appetite for Taotie Corps. In his plan, Mou Kingdom just happened to be a dining chair he needed to further devour Qi Kingdom. He wanted to take it without bloodshed. Therefore, before his expedition team set off, King Zhu specially invited someone, which was his best friend, the sword saint - Gu Jitao."

"Gu...Gu Jitao?" Hearing this name, Cen Shuang couldn't hide her surprise and couldn't help but straighten her back.

Gu Jitao, this is a person whom many swordsmen still remember. From childhood to adulthood, Cen Shuang has heard the teacher tell a legendary story about this person countless times. From being a refugee to being a sacred swordsman, he has been talking about how he became a generation of swordsman with a swordsman. It is said that Gu Jitao's swordsmanship has been learned without a master. At the age of 20, he challenged the nine famous swordsmen in Jiangdong with an iron sword that broke the blade and failed. He became famous and became famous. He was once called "Auntie Sword Madman". After he obtained the world's number one sword "Dragon Eat Scale Snow", he was even more invincible and thus gained the title of Sword Saint.

However, the teacher never kept silent about the ending of the legendary sword saint who had almost never been defeated in his life. Once, Cen Shuang was pestered and asked anxiously. The guy just pretended to be deep and said: "The only thing that can end the legend is fate."

"Yes, it's Gu Jitao." The old man nodded, and his tone became a little excited. "One morning after a few days of besieging the city, Gu Jitao came to the city and according to the previous agreement, the city sent the strongest warriors to confront him, and the two armies decided the outcome in one battle."

"Just just as the soldiers under the city were all looking forward to watching Gu Jitao kill the warrior who dared to fight with an egg-strike stone, a handsome young man walked out of the city. The military formation immediately burst into laughter, but in this laughter, the young man calmly stretched out his palm to Gu Jitao and signaled him to attack him. Gu Jitao originally wanted to draw out his sword to scare away the silence of this silence, but when he pulled out the sword, he held a broken sword in his hand - the Dragon Shrimp Snow Sword, which was polished by a piece of natural meteorite full of cold air. Its texture was extremely hard, but the moment the boy stretched out his palm, he had already folded it into two pieces in the sheath."

Cen Shuang's heart was beating, and at this moment, she couldn't help but breathe a long breath. Outside the courtyard gate, Lan'er also quietly lay down by the door and eavesdropped, her round eyes were full of concentration.

"Just when the Sword Saint was surprised and unable to solve it, the young man waved his hand immediately. In front of the Zhu Guo army, dozens of generals' swords also flew out of the scabbard and hit their throats. When the young man waved his hand for the third time, dozens of swords penetrated their necks and flew towards the city gate in a row with hot blood, firmly nailed to the solid stone bricks on the city wall."

"The hilt of the sword was still trembling, but the young man turned around and walked back to the city gate with his hands in his arms. The dark army formation was silent."

"After that, the blood marks under the bricks and bricks of the city wall had not yet completely penetrated into the bricks and stones, and the 50,000 elite soldiers escaped. The unbearable sword saint let out a long roar and used a broken sword to cut open his throat under the city."

Only then did Cen Shuang finally understand the expression of the teacher when he said that sentence.

"That day, it was considered the arrival of this divine law. It was recorded in the "Divine List" by the Holy See. The young man was fifteen years old and named Yu Lianke, the founder of the Youlian family, the eight great divine masters in the world."

"At the end of the "God's Tale" there is such a word-" the old man swallowed excitedly and said word by word: "God will never be stingy with his favorites, and will never be merciless, so called elimination."

After saying that, the old man raised his head and drank the wine in the pot, slowly lowered the pot: "What a good wine..."

"As the ace army of the Zhu Kingdom, Xiaoyi Iron Cavalry lost almost all the senior generals in that battle, and never regained its momentum. In the past twenty years, the former No. 1 power in the East was wiped out in the sweeping of the newly rising Ju Kingdom Legion. But the Mou Kingdom is still continuing its royal ancestral hall under the protection of the Youlian family's wings. In the Central Plains, first-class swordsmanship are no exception, masters of divine awareness. The ancient sword on the wall of Pengquan was listed as a holy trace by the Holy See, and has not been taken down until today."

Cen Shuang suddenly had a look forward to her uncertain journey, and a picture appeared in her mind: on a cool evening, she sat under Pengquan City and looked at the rusty ancient swords, watching them being pulled out by the sunset on the bricks, beside her were group of pilgrims and teenagers from all over the world, standing under the wall with faith and dreams, looking up devoutly.

"Wow! It's burnt again!" Lan'er outside the door was fascinated by the sound of burnt smell. She suddenly started screaming.

Cen Shuang heard the sound and walked to the yard. He saw the charred fish in the pot and said, "Sister, come and help you..."

"No, I'll do it..." Lan'er skillfully poured the fish into a plate and placed the plate in the corner of the yard. After a while, she heard a few meows and a group of cats jumped down from the eaves and gathered on the plate. The kittens took a few bites, then turned around and jumped back to the roof. In the end, only three or two old cats were left eating calmly.

"I'm going to ask you to help you eliminate it again..." Lan'er said to the cats with some embarrassment, and then she took another fish and said, "Practice it again. When my dad comes back, I'll make it for him to eat."

"This kid is really sensible..." Cen Shuang praised.
