100 million walk alone

Chapter 464 A Song of Ice and Fire

To the north of the Dragon Mountains, there is a Blackwater River.

On the other side of the Blackwater River, a boundary monument stands.

After passing that monument, you will reach the border of the Han Dynasty.

There is a Blackwater Fortress not far away, guarded by a hundred thousand troops.

There are still hundreds of thousands of people living in Heishui City inside, and the military and civilians coexist harmoniously.

At dusk, four people appeared at the gate of Blackwater City.

The leading man in black was so handsome that the soldiers guarding the city cursed the pretty boy secretly.

The three women beside the man were both beautiful and beautiful, with different styles. Many soldiers secretly drooled at the sight of them.

There are also a few new recruits, which are even more shameful.

There was another woman in black wearing a mask. Although her true face could not be seen clearly, people who came by saw her figure and immediately became distraught.

When the four people showed their magic tokens, the city gate fell silent.

The soldiers guarding the city were all very discerning, and the leading lieutenant was much more polite on the spot: "Please wait a moment, your Majesty. The token of communication with the gods needs to be appraised by a priest. I will ask the priest to come over now."

After speaking, he personally ran to a temple branch that was established.

Soon a red-clothed priest arrived in a hurry, bringing two white-clothed priests with him.

The red-clothed priest, who was over 50 years old that year, introduced himself: "I, Fan Dakui, the director of the Blackwater City Temple, may I ask which distinguished guest carries the token of communication with the gods?"

"We all have them."

As soon as Pei Yin opened his mouth, the four of them showed their magic tokens at the same time.

Fan Dakui was immediately confused. It was rare to see a person who could produce a God Token in decades. Four God Tokens suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. What kind of trouble was going on?

"Four of you, please come with me." Fan Dakui suppressed his shock and invited the four of them to enter the small and medium-sized temple.

The temple has special means to identify the tokens of communication with the gods.

After the identification was quickly completed, Fan Dakui was shocked: "It turns out that the four of them are the strange people who killed the blood demon. The legendary story of the four of them who studied the Heavenly Dao Monument in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the three flowers gathering on the top of the mountain is like thunder to my ears even from afar."

"Priest Fan, thank you very much." Pei Yin showed some humility, showing his fox tail: "I am new here and know nothing about the customs and customs of the Han Dynasty. I wonder if I can ask Priest Fan for advice."

Fan Dakui obviously didn't know that Pei Yin had killed Miao Lihui, the leader of the dark palace. He was quite straightforward: "The rules of the temple are that the person holding the token of communication with the gods is a distinguished guest, and all the clergy in Beiju Luzhou must Treat each other with courtesy. Just ask Mr. Pei if you have anything, and Mr. Fan will definitely tell you everything he knows."

With such an experienced driver leading the way, Pei Yin was no longer polite: "To be honest, when I came to Han, I mainly wanted to see the second Tiandao Monument. I don't know how to view the monument?"

Fan Dakui twirled his beard and smiled: "With Master Pei's ability, this matter is quite simple. If you want to see the second Tiandao stele, there is a saying among the Han people - a hundred monsters will be seriously injured if they watch the stele."

"How do you understand these eight words?" Pei Yin asked humbly.

"Go to the Great Wall of Eternal Night and kill a hundred wild monsters. The military will register them and you can understand the Heavenly Way Monument."

Fan Dakui explained: "If you can kill 10,000 wild monsters, you will be seriously injured by the imperial court. The best among them can get the national treasure of the Han Dynasty, which is also an excellent material for tempering the natal magic weapon - the Northern Black Iron."

"Barbarian monsters?" Pei Yin had many questions: "I have only heard of the monster clan, so what kind of species are 'barbarian monsters'?"

Fan Dakui said: "Barbarian monsters refer to uncivilized, savage and cruel monsters. They are different from the monsters of the Hundred Saint Kingdom, and they are also different from the monsters of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Pei Yin was startled: "I heard that the Great Wall of Night borders the Hundred Saints Kingdom. There are frictions between the two countries from time to time, and border wars continue. Could it be that the barbarian monster is a dead soldier trained by the Hundred Saints Kingdom?"

Fan Dakui couldn't help laughing: "What the real person said is just a lie spread by monks from the Zhou Dynasty. People who have never been to the Great Wall of Night will never know the true origin of the wild monster."

"Fan used to kill eight hundred demons on the Great Wall of Night, so he knows a little bit about it."

"In the far north, there is cold winter all year round, and the land is filled with ice and snow. It is known as the snowfield without return."

"As the name suggests, there is no return to the snowfield. Once you go, there is no return."

"The Evernight Great Wall was built on the edge of the never-ending snowfield."

"On the other side of the snowfield is the border of the Hundred Saint Kingdom. It can be said that the non-returning snowfield is a natural barrier that separates the two countries."

"There are countless barbaric monsters in the endless snowfield that are thousands of miles away, and they grow wildly here." "There is a lack of supplies in the snowfield, and the low-level barbarian monsters cannot live without food, so they have a huge appetite, just like the evil wolf that attacks the sheep. Groups of people often sneak into the borders of the Han Dynasty, and there are also wild monsters that enter the Hundred Saint Kingdom to plunder."

Pei Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "The barbarian monster doesn't even spare the fellow monsters from the Hundred Saint Kingdom?"

Fan Dakui sighed: "How can I call him a barbarian monster? It is simply unreasonable and barbaric. The Hundred Saints Kingdom is also extremely troubled by this."

In order to maintain neutrality, there was a secret that Fan Dakui did not reveal: the senior officials of the Hundred Saints Kingdom communicated privately with the barbarian monsters, which resulted in the barbarian monsters mainly attacking the Han Kingdom. Only a few ignorant stupid monsters went to the Hundred Saints Kingdom to cause trouble.

Pei Yin asked again: "There are so many masters in the Han Kingdom and the Hundred Saint Kingdom. Why don't the two countries join forces to level the Wuhui Snowfield?"

Fan Dakui sighed: "First of all, these two countries are feuding, and we need them to join forces unless the sun rises in the west. Secondly, the situation in the Wuhui Snowfield is special. Even if the two countries join forces, it will be difficult to eradicate the wild monster."

Pei Yin asked curiously: "What's so special about the snowfield?"

"Deep in the Wuhui Snowfield, there was once an ancient cave that formed a world of its own, forming a unique law of heaven and earth."

"Later, the cave sky shattered, and countless demons sealed inside poured into the snowfield, established themselves on the top of the mountain, and took over the mountain as king."

"Although the cave sky is cracked, the remaining power of the law is still there, forming a kind of restriction - when you step into the snowfield, your divine power and mana are restricted, and foreign objects such as magic weapons, magic talismans, etc. cannot be used."

When Fan Dakui said this, Pei Yin couldn't help but interjected: "Isn't it exactly the same as the restriction in Dongzhou Mountain?"

Fan Dakui's words were very sophisticated: "Similar, but not the same. The climate in the Dongzhou Mountains is pleasant, but the snowfield without return is covered with ice and snow all year round. After the monks enter, they are no different from ordinary people, and frostbite is common. There is also the cold wind in the snowfield, The bone-piercing coldness can greatly slow down the movement of monks, just like a mortal whose hands and feet are frozen. Many famous monks have lost their lives in just a few days after entering the No-Return Snowfield."

Pei Yin asked again: "Can those barbaric monsters use the magical powers of the monster clan in Wuhui Snowfield?"

"No." Fan Dakui said: "The restrictions are indiscriminate and treat everyone equally, so the barbarian monsters all want to run out. The barbarian monsters in the snowfield are like wild beasts in the mountains and forests, relying on their natural instincts to fight."

Pei Yin continued to ask: "In this way, killing the wild monsters will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. How did Priest Fan kill 800 monsters back then?"

"Well..." Fan Dakui held the tea cup and became reserved.

Secret information must be valuable.

Since it has value, it cannot be free.

Pei Yin understood very well. He rummaged through his sleeves and took out two top-quality spiritual stones: "Priest Fan, please don't despise your kindness."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Fan Dakui said embarrassedly, but he was not polite at all and stuffed the spirit stone into his sleeve.

Then the priest became upright again: "If you want to kill the wild monster, I have one word for you - wait."

"How do you say this?" Pei Yin humbly asked for advice.

"Every year, many wild monsters emerge from the No Return Snowfield and invade the borders of the Han Dynasty."

"In view of this, the Han Dynasty devoted a lot of manpower and material resources to build the 3,000-mile Evernight Great Wall, and carved demon-suppressing runes with secret techniques to resist the invasion of barbarian demons."

"At the foot of the Great Wall, high-level monks can perform freely and will not be restricted."

"With Master Pei's ability, he can kill hundreds of wild monsters, and it's not easy to capture them."

Pei Yin said: "Thank you, Priest Fan, for your advice. May I ask what procedures are required for outsiders who want to go to the Great Wall of Night to slay demons?"

Fan Dakui replied: "The first is to join the army, establish military merit, and be promoted to a higher rank. The second is to voluntarily sign a life and death contract and become a night watchman. The second method is most suitable for Pei Zhenren. Even monks from other continents can also be a night watchman. .”

"What exactly does the night watchman do?" Pei Yin asked.

"It literally means keeping vigil for a long time, standing guard in the cold wind."

"The Code of the Han Dynasty stipulates that regardless of gender, anyone over the age of sixteen can sign up to be a night watchman."

"Also, criminals who commit crimes are usually sent to the Great Wall of Eternal Night and serve as night watchmen."

Pei Yin fell silent, remembering an epic masterpiece.

The Great Wall in the ice and snow, and the Night Watch, this is... a song of ice and fire.
