A pre-Charge
In the fifth year of Xiyuan, Shu was built for three years, by the shore of South China's Ba River.
In the tent of the military commander of Shu, the prime minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang, after concluding the meeting before the tent, although the surrender of the South King of the Barbarians, Meng Ying, was already in his grasp, he still felt uneasy for some reason.
He slowly walked out of the tent and observed the astronomical phenomena.
All the constellations were in their positions, but he did not find anything unusual.
Zhuge Liang could not help but smile and sigh.
He thought in his heart, "I guess I'm old and even my temperament has become suspicious."
Shaking his head, he was about to return to the tent to rest when suddenly, without any sign, the world descended into darkness.
The originally bright moon in the sky seemed to be swallowed by a huge dragon formed by dark clouds.
A strange aura immediately filled the air!
Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed, and he quickly went back to the tent.
He took out a few ancient coins and put them into the turtle shell.
He murmured the incantation, and there was an unconcealable anxiety in his solemn expression.
He sprinkled the ancient coins out of the turtle shell again and again.
After doing this several times, Zhuge Liang leaned back in the chair and could not return to himself for a long time.
After a long time, he finally stood up with difficulty.
He picked up the pen and paper on his desk and wrote the three words "Horse Before class".
After a long time, he sighed and wrote down under the horse before the class.
"I can't reverse the situation.
I'll do my best to bow.
I'll live in the sun and hide in the earth.
Eight thousand female ghosts."
The dark clouds were very low, blocking out all the light in the sky.
The wind mixed with the snowstorm swept through the whole world and carried everything that hindered it from moving forward.
The earth trembled from time to time.
Wearing the wind and snow as if coming from hell, I held Yu the Water-Driving Sword that Yu the Great used to subdue Gonggong and rode the Black Dragon Horse, followed by a group of soldiers who had been following me to conquer the north and south in recent years.
With a determination of never returning, we slowly walked to the end of the ice bridge amid the sound of hoofs.
A wild roar tore apart the wind and snow, and a four-headed ice dragon suddenly appeared at the end of the sky.
Around it stood nine huge stone pillars, and the ice dragon was locked on the stone pillars by a thick and heavy chain.
It was a thousand-year-old prisoner.
However, after being imprisoned for a thousand years, this prisoner was about to break free from the walls of the country.
It realized that we were coming, and its eight red eyes alertly turned to us.
I swung my Water Shield Sword into the sky, roaring out an order to charge.
The soldiers roared angrily and the cavalry charged toward the ice dragon like thunder.
The final battle, a decisive battle between man and god, finally started...
3,000 meters, 900 meters, 700 meters, 300 meters...
As the distance got closer and closer, the cavalry cavalry moved faster and faster.
However, the eight blood-red huge eyes just looked at us coldly.
Sifu was looking at a group of ignorant nonentities.
100 m!
The speed of the cavalry has already reached its limit.
The 9 starry jades on the water-proof sword start to emit dazzling rays of light.
Suddenly, an earth-shaking whistle is heard.
Countless beams of ice are coming at them like crazy.
With a whistle, the soldiers drew out their iron shields and placed them in front of themselves.
"Crash!" There was a loud commotion as the ice shards shattered into blocks of ice mist.
At the same time, even though they were prepared for the ice lights, many soldiers were sent flying by the immense impact of the ice lights.
The entire battlefield immediately plunged into chaos.
Behind him, even though many of my brothers fell down, I couldn't stop and shed another tear for them.
It was because I knew that if I failed today, it would mean the extinction of the entire human race.
With a cold determination, I pressed my horse's belly and the Cdragon Horse under my hips soared into the air.
The Water Rites Sword emitted a Yin and Yang sword light, and a dragon's head was cut off in the icy blue bloody mist!
The ice dragon let out a heartrending roar, and the remaining six eyes stared at me angrily and incredulously.
Seeing that I had succeeded, our soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they raised their long spears and rushed to the bound ice dragon!
All of a sudden, green light shot out from the six huge red eyes.
The light swept in all directions, causing my soldiers to fall one after another on the horse's back as they charged forward.
Finally, all six rays of light landed on me.
I knew that something was amiss, so I grabbed the horse's belly and tried to jump up again.
Unexpectedly, I missed.
The Azure Dragon God Horse fell to the ground, and I was also confused.
I didn't know where I was, and my body fell heavily to the ground.
In the midst of danger, a stream of warmth came from the nine pieces of star jade on the sword's body.
My mind was suddenly clear, and I saw the six huge eyes turning red to attack me.
In a panic, I raised the Water-avoiding Sword.
In a cold wind, the ice dragon's huge teeth had pierced my Black Tortoise Iron Armor, and the Water-Driding Sword had also pierced into the ice dragon's upper jaw.
The painful ice dragon threw me into the sky, and a cloud of blood mist followed my body to draw a blood rainbow in the white snow.
I fell heavily to the ground and coughed up blood.
I knew that the teeth of the ice dragon had pierced my lungs, and my life was slipping away bit by bit...
I lay on the ground helplessly, watching as the ice dragon began to kill my brothers.
Just as I was about to sink into despair, I suddenly saw steam rising from my Water Rites Sword.
I thought that I was beginning to hallucinate from death, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the nine star jades on the sword were burning.
A wave of nine-colored fog rolled towards me.
Under the warm cover, I could feel the wounds all over my body rapidly regaining strength, while energy was still pouring in endlessly.
I slowly got up, and suddenly I had a severe headache.
I couldn't help but kneel on one knee to support my trembling body with the water sword.
After the pain, my forehead cracked, and a few lines of blood flowed into my eyes from my forehead, making me involuntarily close my eyes.
Suddenly, I saw a ferocious dragon head behind me opening its bloody mouth to bite me.
With a long howl, I shot up into the sky.
With a light turn of my body, I landed on the top of the Dragon Trapping Pillar and looked down at the ice dragon that was bound tightly by the chains of dark steel on the stone platform.
The ice dragon roared unwillingly, crazily twisting its body, trying to break free from the thousand-year restriction, but it finally stopped in vain.
As soon as I was awake, I found that the cracked forehead grew a "eye of heaven".
At the same time, the mind was clear, and the whole body was full of unprecedented energy.
I knew that all this was because of the combustion of the nine-star jade.
It pulled me back from the gate of hell, and helped me to get through the sixth Chakra!
Of course, the bitter price was the disappearance of the nine-star jade, and the water-proof sword had lost its original brilliance.
"Humph!
If it weren't for this damn barrier, even if you opened the sixth wheel, you would still be no match for me!" The ice dragon suddenly said to me in a gloomy way.
I didn't answer, because I knew what it said was the truth.
It was an ancient great god, who had the power to destroy the world.
We humans were too small compared to it.
We could only kill it before its barrier collapsed.
Otherwise, once it regained its freedom, it would be completely destroyed!
However, it was very close to the disappearance of the barrier...
"There's no time to waste!" I took out the signal flag and waved it twice.
Countless huge crossbow arrows suddenly shot at the ice dragon from all directions of the Dragon Lock Platform.
"Aargh!" With a scream, the ice dragon was instantly shot into a hedgehog!
I concentrated all of my inner strength on the sword and flew at the ice dragon from the top of the pillar.
The ice dragon sensed the force of killing and quickly twisted to the right.
The huge dragon opened its mouth and attacked me from above.
As expected by my Third Eye, I waved my right hand, and the Water-proof Sword flew out like a spinning top with a rainbow.
With a crack, the second dragon head was cut off!
In mid-air, I took the Water Rites Sword which was flying back with one hand, and rolled over one of them before lightly landing on another stone pillar.
The ice dragon, on the other hand, let out a heavy gasp as it glared at me.
Suddenly, the entire Dragon Lock Platform began to shake violently.
Tiny cracks began to appear on the surrounding stone pillars.
A sinister smile flashed across the ice dragon's eyes.
The remaining two dragon heads fiercely bit the Mysterious Chains on both sides and began to frantically pull!
There was no time left.
The final moment was coming!
I roared in anger, and a nine-colored flame burst out from my body.
With a powerful cyclone, I flew from the top of the pillar and stabbed at the heart of the ice dragon, emitting the final blow of a human against God!
With the shake of the earth and the tearing of the ice dragon, the surrounding stone pillars began to break one after another.
The iron chain that had been locked on the ice dragon for thousands of years finally loosened.
At the same time, the water-proof sword in my hand pierced into its heart!
In a split second, a weird feeling hit him.
The Water-proof Sword seemed to have only pierced into a shadow, and I rushed into the "illusion" with the huge impact, and then I slammed into the ice ground with my sword!
Ignoring the bone-piercing pain, I raised my head with difficulty.
I saw the ice dragon floating in the sky with ice-blue scattered light.
The huge arrows on its body had disappeared, and the head that I had cut off was slowly growing back!
I felt a complete despair.
"It" finally became a "God".
The ice dragon roared and countless blue ice flames rushed toward it.
Swords that were broken into pieces, the roars of the ice dragon, and...
the arrival of the end.
This was the last memory before I lost consciousness...
Once again, Tong Ying sat up in shock from his dream, as if he had collapsed.
The shirt that was lying with his clothes had already been soaked through by the cold sweat.
He struggled to sit up from the bed, and his chest rose and fell like a windbox, panting heavily.
He reached out to wipe his forehead, and his palm was full of cold sweat.
Then he put his hand into his arms and touched a hard object as he expected.
Heyingn used his thumb and forefinger to carefully take out the hard object and put it in his palm.
A gentle and calm feeling passed through the meridian of his palm to every pore and internal organs of his body, making him calm down a little.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Tong Ying carefully looked at the hard object in his hand.
It was a palm-sized stone wall with a green dragon carved on the edge of the stone wall.
Nine holes were scattered irregularly in the middle, with different sizes.
One hole was in the middle of the stone wall, and the other eight were neatly distributed outside.
The whole stone wall was gray and green, and the bright moonlight shone on it.
The light seemed to be swallowed by the stone wall, and it couldn't be seen clearly, which made it look like an ordinary stone.
As for the nightmare just now, Tong Ying could not remember much.
He seemed to have dreamed of many things.
However, what stayed in his mind was only the wild wind mixed in the storm.
The world was dark, and everything he saw was white.
Tong Ying slowly turned his head away, as if he didn't want to recall the scene in his dream.
He subconsciously clenched the jade wall in his hand and whispered, "Dad..."
In the dead of night, a lonely person could easily think of his own relatives.
Unfortunately, Tong Ying was an orphan.
To be exact, it was his master who adopted Tong Ying who said that he was an orphan.
The master of the child and Ying were named Tong Yuan.
He opened a martial club in Chang'an City.
Since the child and Ying returned to their memory, they had been practicing martial arts with Tong Yuan in this martial club.
Unlike others, the children's memory started from 18 years old, and he didn't remember anything before 18 years old.
Tong Yuan said that his head was hit and lost memory.
Of course, Tong Ying couldn't remember why he was hit, but Tong Yuan never took the initiative to mention it.
Tong Ying's name was given to him by Tong Yuan.
His original name had already been erased in the impact.
Tong Yuan adopted him and named him Tong Ying.
Although his master said that he was an orphan, there was a deep memory in the young man's mind.
He had a father, and he was definitely not alone in this world.
The evidence was that the young man clearly remembered that the strange jade wall was left by his father.
Therefore, the idea of having a father was like a bright red brand, engraved in the young man's heart never faded.
Unfortunately, after so many years, his master Tong Yuan had sent people to visit the world, but he had not found any clues about his father in the memory of Tong Ying.
The only thing his father left to him was only this unremarkable stone wall.
Even so, Tong Ying firmly believed that he would find his father one day, which was the most persistent obsession in his heart.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..." A high-pitched rooster crowed, waking up Tong Ying.
He glanced out of the window and saw a ray of morning light entering the room through the gap.
Tong Ying kept the Dragon Wall in his bosom and kept it close to him.
He immediately leaped up from the bed and grabbed the silver long spear leaning against the side of the bed.
He quickly walked to the side of the door and pushed open the door.
A cool feeling that seeped into his spleen and lungs entered his internal organs along with his breathing, causing Tong Ying to feel refreshed.
Tong Ying was twenty-one this year, and his appearance could still be considered rather refined.
Even though he wore a warrior jacket made of rough cloth, it still couldn't hide the noble aura that came from his bones.
However, his thick, black, and straight eyebrows also displayed a type of tenacious nature beneath his refined appearance.
He slowly walked into the courtyard and began to practice the spear skills that Tong Yuan taught him yesterday.
Although the spear skills were not brilliant, it was still suitable for the strength of his leg and arm.
Tong Ying practiced for an hour.
Although he was sweaty and his arms were sore and numb, he did not rest.
He naturally knew that there was a limit in the human body.
Master Tong Yuan once said that he practiced kung fu in this way, which was a complete clumsiness, but it was better than kung fu without it.
Therefore, he always remembered what Tong Yuan said in his heart.
He would not stop until he was exhausted.
"Brother Ying!
Brother Ying!" At some point, a clear female voice came to Ying's ears.
Ying regained her senses and slowly withdrew her attack.
She carried the silver spear on her back and smiled slightly according to the reputation.
"Ling'er, what's the matter?" It was an eight-year-old girl.
Seeing her leaning on a pillar around the corner of the eaves and looking at him, Tong Ying could not help but ask with a smile.
"Humph, Brother Ying doesn't keep his word." Ling'er, who was called Ling'er by Tong Ying, pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction.
Ling'er's surname was Tong Ling, and she was the daughter of Tong Yuan, the youthful master.
She could also be considered his junior sister.
Tong Ling had always been adorable and cute since she was young, and she also had a unique appearance.
This made Ling'er very doted on by her junior and junior brothers.
However, among all the senior and junior brothers, Tong Ying only loved Ying'er and would often ask her to be 'severe' with Tong Ying.
However, Ying had always accepted all of them as one.
She asked herself in her heart that Tong Ying had always treated Ling'er and her junior sister-in-law with the exception of Ling'er.
After the sibling relationship between senior brother and sister, there might be some other things that were not worthy of being revealed to the public.
As for whether Tong Ling had such feelings for him, he could only ask Tong Ling herself.
"When did I break my promise?" Tong Ying was a little surprised and asked in confusion.
"Humph, haven't you forgotten?" Ling'er saw that he stopped practicing martial arts, so she walked into the courtyard and glared at Tong Ying.
She said angrily, "You promised me yesterday that you would accompany me to Zhangtai Street to buy shoes today.
Do you forget everything after a night?"
Tong Ying looked at the lovely woman in front of him, who tried to open her eyes and make an angry look, and couldn't help laughing again.
"But aren't you going to practice martial arts later?
Today is the day our master takes part in your martial arts test.
Aren't you afraid that he will be angry with you if you don't say anything?" Tong Ying suddenly thought of this and asked.
"Oh, the weather is so good today.
Why are you still practicing martial arts?" Tong Ling impatiently waved her hand and said, "Besides, I have you, Brother Ying, to protect me anyway.
It's useless for me to learn martial arts."
"My martial arts skills are still ordinary..." The heroic child thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and did not answer immediately.
Tong Ling saw that he was still hesitating, so she couldn't help but step forward and grab one of Tong Ying's arms.
She shook it desperately and said, "I don't care.
Anyway, you promised me!"
"Well, okay, I'll go with you." Tong Ying had no choice but to answer with a bitter smile...
In Chang'an, the capital city of the West was called Chu.
Chu was the joint name of Shang Jing, which was built by King Zhou Wen and King Zhou Wu respectively.
Chu's banks were called Zong Zhou.
In Qin Dynasty, it was called Inner History.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, great ancestor Liu Bangli Zhongzhong, which was five years ago, he established a new city named Chang'an City in the land of Chang'an.
It meant Chang'an should be pursued and pursued.
At the same time, Chang'an City was transferred to Jing'an as Jing preview, meaning Chang'an City was also called Chang'an City's Place.
This place was where the Western Han Dynasty flourished.
Since his ancestors Liu Bang were appointed to usurp the throne here, Chang'an, as the 11th emperor of the capital of the Han Dynasty, was more than 210 years old, which was extremely prominent.
Unfortunately, the late years of the Western Han Dynasty, the king had usurped the throne and caused much chaos in the world.
The imperial city of Chang'an was attacked by the two troops, the green forest and the red-browed man, one after the other.
The population of the imperial court was sharply reduced, and a large number of palaces were destroyed.
Chang'an, the Three Generals, was destroyed because of the war.
And the Emperor of Light, Liu Xiu, had suppressed the world and then revitalized the Han court.
He even abandoned Chang'an, which was the capital city, Luoyang.
Especially, Chang'an had suffered from drought in the past few years.
His new emperor, Liu Hong, favored the eunuches.
Therefore, he neglected the government affairs and expanded the Tang Empire's yellow-belt soldiers quickly.
As a result, Chang'an, which had been prosperous for a time, began to decline gradually, and now it no longer restored its past prosperity.
The Spring Festival would come in ten days.
The largest street in Chang'an, Zhangtai Street, gradually became more and more pedestrians, and vendors selling goods on the street could be seen everywhere.
Tong Ying was wandering along the street with Tong Ling, looking at Tong Ling freely shuttling back and forth between the stalls like a free sparrow that had broken away from its cage.
Tong Ying couldn't help smiling and even began to hum a tune.
"Yeah, Brother Ying, what song did you just hum?
It's nice to listen to." Tong Ling, who was walking beside him, suddenly turned to Tong Ying and asked.
"Oh, I..." Tong Ying was a little surprised.
After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head and said, "I don't know what song I just hummed."
"You're not even aware of your own song?" Tong Ling looked at him with wide eyes, as if she didn't believe him.
"I really don't know," Tong Ying threw up his hands helplessly and said, "Maybe I have heard it somewhere, so I'll just keep it in mind."
"Where have I heard it again?" Tong Ling pouted and pouted.
"Last time I asked you, you also said you heard it from somewhere else.
Where would you go to listen to so many strange melodies?
I've never heard of them in my life."
"I don't know where I heard it.
Anyway, when I was happy just now, I thought of this song and started to hum casually,"Tong Ying nodded and said helplessly.
Tong Ling didn't think too much about it.
She tilted her head and thought for a while.
Soon, her attention was attracted by the dazzling girl's accessories on the street.
They didn't go far before they stopped in front of a jewelry stall.
The hawkers desperately sold their gold, silver, and accessories to Tong Ling.
Tong Ling held a jade hairpin in her right hand and waved it at Tong Ying, saying triumphantly, "Brother Ying, look, is it beautiful?"
"Great, great." Tong Ying glanced at it and said with a smile.
"You were perfunctory to me again." Tong Ling pouted and put the jade hairpin back on the stall.
She said angrily, "I don't want it anymore!"
"How can I be perfunctory to you..." When Tong Ying was about to say something, he heard a man's voice behind him.
"Wait a minute, young man!" Tong Ying turned back and saw a fortune-teller in his early thirties stop him.
"Mister, what is the matter..." Tong Ying was unfamiliar with this person.
He had never seen such a person before, yet he suddenly stopped him here.
He did not feel surprised at all.
"This young man looks dignified and has an extraordinary bearing, like a dragon and phoenix among men.
If you are interested, please let me divine the future for you and see your future." The fortune-teller looked at Tong Ying with a smile and said faintly.
"The future?" When Tong Ying heard this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
He didn't have much of a connection.
In his mind, if he could find his father and live a safe and sound life with his junior sister, his life would be the greatest happiness.
Even the spear techniques taught by his master were only for self-defense, so he didn't think about getting fame by it.
If so, what was wrong with divination?
Thinking of this, Tong Ying waved his hand to the fortune-teller and said with a smile, "The future is destined.
You don't have to worry about it."
"Is that so?
You're so open-minded, young man.
I admire you a lot, but..." The fortune-teller changed the topic and asked, "Have you been having strange dreams all night, and dragons will definitely appear in your dreams?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Ying couldn't help feeling shocked.
He subconsciously saw the man in front of him clearly.
Although he was dressed in a coarse cloth gown and looked very poor, he had an extraordinary temperament and a subtle demeanor of a master.
Tong Ying couldn't help but give him a high look.
He held his breath attentively and saluted him.
"You're right, master.
I'm really in a strange dream.
May I ask what's the solution to this dream?"
"Hehe, as the saying goes, Heaven doesn't speak.
People all think that the things in dreams are absurd.
But they don't know that dreams can often reveal many secrets of heaven.
It's just that mortals don't know." The fortune-teller smiled faintly and slowly stretched out his left hand.
His thumb gently touched the ring finger, middle finger and forefinger in turn, and then began to calculate by himself.
After a while, his face changed slightly and his eyes shined with a touch of golden light.
He said solemnly, "Generally speaking, the dragon in the dream is a sign of ascension, but aren't you the dragon in your dream, brother?"
When Tong Ying thought of the four ice dragons in his dream, he couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously replied, "Master, you are right.
Where does the dragon in my dream come from?"
"There are too many people here.
Some words can't be passed by two mouths.
Heaven's secret can't be divulged.
If you have the intention, I'll wait for you on the ten-mile slope outside the east gate at midnight." The fortune-teller shook his head and glanced at the chest of Tong Ying, seemingly inadvertently.
Then he smiled and said, "Don't forget to take the things with you."
After that, he did not give Tong Ying any chance to speak again.
Instead, he turned around and walked away.
"Master, hey, master..." Tong Ying ran for two steps, only to see the back of the man disappear in the crowd.
"Take the things with you?" Tong Ying stopped and subconsciously looked at her chest, where it was so heavy that she couldn't help changing her face and thinking.
"Brother Ying, is what that person said true?" Tong Ling, who had not spoken at all, caught a glimpse of the somewhat pale-faced Tong Ying and couldn't help but ask.
Tong Ying glanced at Tong Ling and looked in the direction of the fortune-teller, but did not answer.
"Will you go there tonight?" Tong Ling asked with a frown.
"I don't know." After thinking for a long time, Ying Tong finally said with a bitter smile.
"But..." Tong Ling wanted to say something more, but Tong Ying sighed and said, "Go back."
"Okay." Tong Ling answered softly, and the two of them headed back to the martial arts school.
