The Zhou family has been a scholarly family for generations, and their descendants are flourishing.
This Zhou's Teahouse was originally just an ordinary teahouse, but over the years it has gradually become a gathering place for many people.
Early this morning, Zhou's teahouse was packed with guests. Many half-year-old children stood outside the door with their ears pricked up.
On the stage on the first floor, a storyteller was talking nonstop.
"Many people don't believe it when Zhongyue Mountain hangs upside down and Dongyue Mountain collapses, but I have a top-ranking friend who saw it with his own eyes. He said that in the early hours of yesterday morning, before dawn, two dragon roars and a deep and solemn roar suddenly came from Zhongyue Mountain.
, a violent and overbearing sound..."
"...The black dragon bit the golden dragon. Soon enough, the golden dragon swung its tail and hit the black dragon in the chest and abdomen. The black dragon whined and vomited blood and fell back. Only then did everyone see clearly that the black dragon's whiskers had turned white.
, dirty blood flowing all over the body..."
"...On the other hand, that golden dragon is in its prime, its body is illuminated by golden light, and the blood it sheds is actually the same bright red as a human being..."
"...The two dragons fought for a long time. The black dragon saw that it was exhausted. It entangled the golden dragon and was about to die together. The golden dragon had known the black dragon's tricks. His body shook, and countless golden lights burst out around him. Then, for some reason, the righteous city wall from the north flew to
The golden dragon's body is like a battle robe, covering the golden dragon..."
"...In the end, the black dragon fell from the sky and created a deep pit. The demonic energy soared into the sky, and Zhongyue was turned upside down, unable to fall..."
"Pa! Okay, after talking about the golden dragon crushing the evil dragon, let's talk about the explosion of the imperial mausoleum. Tsk tsk, guess what's inside when the imperial mausoleum explodes?"
"Gold and silver jewelry?"
"Mercury diarrhea?"
"It's not the Yin soldiers guarding it, is it?"
"No, please listen to me slowly. It is said that the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs is a geomantic treasure land, but few people know that before the death of Qi Taizu, he did not choose this place. Which one should we choose?
Let’s start with the four selected imperial mausoleums of Qi Taizu.”
"It is said that when the imperial mausoleum was first selected, Qi Taizu was dying and could not trust anyone else. He only believed in the old gods of the Tianming Sect..."
Some of the listeners couldn't help but smile. Just a few days ago, this storyteller was still concerned about the longevity of the Destiny Sect.
"...the old gods of the Tianming Sect are profound in their Taoism, so why would it be difficult to choose a cemetery? It only took three days to choose Changshan. Grand Ancestor Long Yan Dayue personally went to worship heaven and perform the opening ceremony of the tomb. When
The sky was clear and clear every day, there was not a cloud in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. Grandpa Taizu was extremely happy along the way. When we got there, everything went smoothly. But just when Grandpa Taizu lit three incense sticks to offer sacrifices to the heavens and gods,
The sky suddenly turned dark. It was dark without clouds. It was so dark at noon that I couldn’t even see my fingers..."
"... All the officials were shocked. What kind of person is Taizu? His face did not change, but he was about to insert three incense sticks into the incense burner. As a result, the thunder from the sky smashed the incense burner, and the three incense sticks were all broken, and the cross section was smooth.
It’s like cutting with a knife…”
"When daybreak comes, everyone here looks at me and I look at you. No one is speechless or dares to speak. Not to mention the civil and military officials, even the gods of the Destiny Sect are scared to death."
"But what else can be done? Grandpa Taizu walked away, and the selection of the imperial mausoleum ended with thunder and lightning cutting off the incense... As for why the thunder and lightning cut off the incense, there are many theories, and I dare not speak nonsense... Half a year later, Taizu
I am very anxious and preparing to choose the imperial mausoleum for the second time. Who knows..."
Similar scenes and similar stories are happening everywhere in Qi.
On the surface, those storytellers were talking about the changes in the world and the secrets of the royal family, but in fact, they were secretly insinuating that the Qi royal family was unfair and cruel and unjust.
As these storytellers continued to spread, more and more people knew the secret history of the royal family.
Wisps of invisible power emerged and entered the dark situations of each city.
In the divine capital city, gossip spreads one by one.
King Xian wanted to attack the city, but he did not want to massacre the people. He hoped that the people in the city would evacuate as soon as possible.
As for the road outside, you can see it if you walk a few more steps.
If you don't leave, the entire capital will be sealed off.
At noon when the roads in all directions were cut off, countless people dragged their families and poured out of the divine capital city.
The city gate defenders reported the situation at various levels, but no orders were issued from above.
As groups of people left, the remaining people were either still watching or waiting for news.
In the afternoon, suddenly a divine bridge of golden light spanned the sky, breaking through the blockade of fate. A group of airships landed along the long golden bridge in all directions of the city gate.
Reinforcements from all major forces arrived one after another.
Small vassal countries, martial arts sects, royal family members, officials from various places, wealthy families...
The people in the city had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
The soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, but the generals in high positions were even more silent.
In the past, a total of twenty-seven airships were enough to frighten a group of enemies.
However, King Xian's army had already crossed the sky with hundreds of ships.
What worries the generals in the capital the most is that the imperial edict was issued and the Tianmen Army retreated across the board and entered the capital to defend.
The Tianmen Army also made a clear reply and returned to defend the capital.
After that, there was no movement.
All the people who inquired could not get any information.
Only a few scouts reported that they had seen three crazy old men. Sometimes they drew circles on the ground, sometimes they played with mud to build walls, and sometimes they planted branches on the ground.
The generals stood on the city wall, looking at the vast mountains in the distance.
After a day, the vast mountains in front of us became even more impressive.
The city of gods has become an isolated city.
That night, an imperial order came from Ouchi.
Seal the city gates and prepare for war.
Amid the panic, countless residents were recruited, the city's defenders stepped up training, and the puppet cultivators began to expand the city wall.
The generals in Shendu are rich in experience, and most of them have experience in border wars. In addition, the troops in the Beijing camp have been training rigorously in the past few years, and everything looks good.
Some generals even feel that the current army in Shendu City may be weaker than King Xian's army, but it is by no means weaker than Dingnan's army.
However, more generals looked at the busy defenders of the city of God, and for some reason, their chests were filled with sadness.
They did a great job.
But how is the city wall of Shendu City compared to Beijiguan?
These soldiers are not weak.
But how many exploding talisman jars can their flesh and blood bodies withstand?
The generals all defended sincerely.
But what can we do to stop the machine birds that fill the sky?
Morale is pretty good.
But before the army of King Hulangxian who slaughtered the demon clan, Jingying was just a little sheep.
The war in this world has long been different.
No matter how well the fortifications are built, no matter how fully prepared, no matter how sharp the swords and guns are, they only look better when they are beaten, nothing more.
That's just the Xian Wang Army.
Shendu City has always blocked news, but senior generals can always get the latest battle reports.
The Dongding Kingdom's army has moved forward along the coastline with both land and water armies, taking over cities one after another.
Moreover, most of the cities surrendered without a fight.
Because, the general of Dongding Kingdom also had the order of King Xian, the handwriting of King Dingnan and... Zhao Yishan's handwritten manuscript of his lecture in Qiyuan City.
