Under the sky

Chapter 133

"No one knows Salhajin's real name. The Son of God first appeared in a small tribe of the Tenggers sect. He was the son of the God of Sa. He revolted with 28 pairs of leather armor and fourteen scimitars and quickly unified the nearby tribes. .”

"Thall performed many miracles and unified the Tenggers sect faster than the flames burned the grasslands. He repelled the western barbarians, and the blind blood gathered into an oasis in the desert. He defeated..."

Speaking of this, Wang Hong suddenly paused, and Yang Yan didn't notice the strange expression on her face.

Just listen to Wang Hong continue to say: "He defeated the Mingjiao army and made them recognize in the flames whether their god was Sa Shen or Ming Zun."

Yang Yan knew about Mingjiao, and Kunlun Palace used to be the palace of Mingjiao.Peng Xiaobei once said that when the Mingjiao came out of the customs in response to the call of the Mingjiao outside the customs, it turned out that it was destroyed here.

Under the leadership of Salhajin, the Tenggers sect won many battles. They killed adult men and left women and children as slaves. Because of their continuous victories, they harvested too many slaves and even caused the price of slaves to drop. It is said that In the past, slaves were worth a pair of live sheep. During the Sarhajin period, a slave could only be exchanged for one sheepskin.

When Sal unified the vast grasslands and deserts outside the pass and occupied the last high mountain, he got the title Ha Jin.Salhajin, son of light and fire, king of kings, emperor of all living beings.

Salhajin's expansion did not stop there. After he unified the Salha religion in less than 20 years, he began to use troops within the pass.There are two reasons for this.First, the Yanavado sect asked for help from the Han people at that time. In order to stabilize the situation outside the customs, the previous dynasty sent troops many times to assist, and the two sides had long had grievances.Secondly, after Sarhajin received the title of Hajin, the former dynasty felt deeply threatened and assembled a hundred thousand troops to attack him in three directions.

After years of trade, the teachings of the Saṃsāra religion have already invaded the customs. People who believe in the Saṃsāra religion in the customs are called saints. Some of them hold high-ranking positions, as well as wealthy private businessmen.They inquired about the news early, even figured out the route of the army, and secretly passed it on to Sarhakin.With this information, Salha Jin was confident.In the Battle of Taiyang Mountain, the former army was attacked one after another, the military orders were in chaos, corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed into rivers, and only 10 people out of 2 people fled back to the pass.

Yang Yan knew about this, and it was also a story his grandfather told.The previous dynasty ignored famine and plague and increased taxes to fight this war, which made the already impoverished people even worse.After this battle, You Changbo led the Great Wall Cavalry to station in Hongxia Pass to fight against the Sa tribe. King Nu's rebel army was unstoppable in the south and marched northward.

Taking advantage of the surge in morale in the Battle of Sun Mountain, Salhajin took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, all the way to Hongxia Pass, and had a head-on confrontation with the Great Wall Cavalry led by You Changbo.This was a rare huge loss in Salhakin's near-invincible record.The Great Wall cavalry defeated Salhajin's army. Salhajin received the blessing of his father and moved hundreds of miles on a moonless night until he gathered up the remaining troops in the windy plains.The Great Wall Cavalry then caught up and trapped Salhajin in the Wild Wind Plains.

The saints learned that Sarhajin was trapped and used various means to get the former emperor to order You Changbo to withdraw his troops.You Changbo knew that Sarhajin was defeated in this battle, but refused to accept the order.The generals stationed at Hongxia Pass were cut off from food and grass supplies, and You Changbo had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and then the siege of Kuangfengyuan was solved.The first thing You Changbo did when he returned to Hongxia Pass was to kill all the grain officials.

"It sounds like Salha Jin is very good at fighting, but he can't defeat You Changbo." Yang Yan asked, "Can he call himself the son of God Sa? Does everyone believe it?"

"Saar is the son of God Sa. This is recognized by all Sas." Wang Hong said, "He was able to unify the Tenggs sect tribe within three years not only because he was good at fighting and had strong martial arts, but also because he was a member of the Tenggs sect for thousands of years. The second person to master the Fire God Scroll made the Tenggers sect identify him as the son of God Sa."

"The Vulcan Scroll?" Yang Yan asked, "A kind of martial arts?"

"This is the greatest contribution of prophet Tenges besides the Tenges Sutra. It is the magical power of the Sa religion to suppress religion."

"Sa Cult's magical power to suppress the cult?" Yang Yan's eyes shone with light.He knew that his martial arts was low and that his enemies not only had many guards but also had strong martial arts. What he needed most was a set of peerless martial arts. "Is this martial arts...very...very powerful?"

Hearing the difference in Yang Yan's tone, Wang Hong stopped.She saw the burning expectation in Yang Yan's eyes and replied: "For thousands of years, the only person who can practice the Fire God Scroll is Salha Jin, except for the prophet Tengges Khan who originally created this set of martial arts."

"He's the only one for a thousand years?" Yang Yan's tone turned disappointed.After seeing Brother Ming's martial arts, he no longer had confidence in his talent for learning martial arts.In just a few months, Brother Jingfeng has made rapid progress, and although his own practice of Yi Jing Jin has been effective, he has never made much progress, let alone this martial arts that no one has practiced for thousands of years?
"Completing the Oath of Fire Scroll is a miracle for the Tenggers sect. Salhajin calls himself Sal, and the Tenggers sect naturally believes it."

Wang Hong continued to talk about the history of Sacred religion.Sarhajin died in the battle at Hongxia Pass, causing great turmoil among the Sa tribe.One is doctrinal turmoil.How could the son of God Sa die in battle?The Sars have different interpretations of the teachings.

The second thing is even more profound. During the conquest period, Sasi's status was co-ruler with the tribal leader, or even slightly lower. During the Salhajin period, he greatly promoted the status of Sasi in each tribe as the king of kings.After Salhajin's death, the Sas started fighting again with the nobles, causing the Sas to split into five tribes. In the end, almost without exception, the Sas took the leadership position of the tribe.

"Naibu, Walter, Suma, Atulie, and Getata are the five major badu today." Wang Hong said, "The most powerful one is Naibu badu, where I was born."

"Rather than these chattering, I want to know when we can go down the mountain." Yang Yan asked.Wang Hong's explanation gave Yang Yan a general understanding of the history of the Sa tribe, except for those strange names that he couldn't remember.But Wang Hong said that he could get down the mountain in two to three days. Now it has been three days, but he is still wandering on the mountain.

"We're almost out of dried meat." Yang Yan said.

Wang Hong pouted and hesitated for a while before saying: "It should be soon."

Yang Yan asked: "Can you be sure?"

Wang Hong said anxiously: "What's the hurry?" She pointed to the distance and said, "If it's not right there, how could it be lost?"

Seeing her anxiety, Yang Yan became even more suspicious. No, Yang Yan had already been suspicious.In the past few days, Wang Hong would always look around and explore wherever he went. He was busy memorizing those stories and ignored them for a moment. At this moment, he finally heard about the 2000-year history of the Sacred Sect, and then he noticed Wang Hong's abnormal behavior.

"Are you lost?" Yang Yan asked in a deep voice.

Wang Hong blushed and said, "I can't remember a little bit, but it's not too far away."

Yang Yan didn't lose his temper and just said: "Okay, you look for it slowly." He and Wang Hong were at odds with each other for a long time. Even though there was a slight reconciliation between the two of them in the past few days, he couldn't help but add sourly, "In the worst case, we'll starve to death." This, I believe you, is what I deserve."

Wang Hong held back her anger and looked around. She was surrounded by bushes, rocks, and thin ice and green moss.This hero's road is rarely visited, and there is no road that can be regarded as a road. She relied on her memories to find her way down the mountain. The scenery has changed a lot over the years, so how can she remember it clearly?The two of them arrived at a slope and saw that there was rubble about ten feet high. There were short trees a little further down the slope. Wang Hong asked, "Do you think there is a road there?"

Yang Yan opened his palm, looked at it, and replied, "I can't see clearly."

Wang Hong said: "I'm just asking nonsense, your tricks are useless." She tried to stick her tongue out, but Yang Yan said in annoyance: "Okay, let's go down and have a look!"

Wang Hong said: "It's easy to go down, but it's tiring to come up."

Yang Yan said: "If you knew the way, how could you suffer this?" After saying that, he walked downhill.

The hillside was extremely steep. Yang Yan steadied his steps and walked down step by step. Wang Hong wanted to stop him, but when he saw that Yang Yan had already gone down, he had no choice but to follow.The two of them were swaying as they walked. The hillside was covered with moss and the snow had melted, making it very slippery. Yang Yan accidentally slipped and grabbed on both sides to keep from rolling down. He bruised his elbows and his buttocks. It was even more painful.

Wang Hong gloated, suppressed laughter, and moved more carefully.After finally descending the slope, the two of them walked through the bushes, their bodies and faces scratched raw by the leaves and weeds.Wang Hong said: "I don't remember walking through such a road."

Yang Yan said: "Do you remember to find the way? We have to go down the mountain, and this road is downward."

Wang Hong said: "Wouldn't it be faster for you to find a cliff and jump off?"

Yang Yan said: "If you jump into the valley, you won't be able to climb out, and your brain is not that good."

The two of them were walking anxiously, each one saying something to me, and I felt happy if the words touched people.After finally walking through the bush, in front of me was a deep valley thirty or forty feet deep.

Wang Hong said: "Yes, it's really a cliff. Do you want to jump?"

Yang Yan was already anxious and retorted: "You jump down first to explore the way."

Wang Hong said: "What should we do now? Go back the same way?" Yang Yan said displeased: "Ask me? I don't know the way."

"You don't know the road and you're leading blindly!" Wang Hong finally couldn't help it, "You said you want to go down that slope and you can't find the way and you're relying on me?"

Yang Yan said: "It's not your fault, I followed you because I lost my fucking mind! Anyway, neither of us knows the way, so I'll guide you!"

Wang Hong didn't say anything, but there was nothing she could do.She had only walked this road once, eight years ago. Not to mention she couldn't remember it clearly. Even if she could remember it clearly, the landscape had changed a long time ago. How could she identify it?She thought she was just going down the mountain anyway, maybe Yang Yan would take him with him. Can a blind cat kill a mouse?He didn't refute at the moment and let Yang Yan lead the way.

Yang Yan looked up at the sky and identified the direction. Kunlun Palace was in the east and Snow Mountain was in the west. If you want to go down the mountain, try walking west.He was a stubborn person, and he made up his mind and led Wang Hong to the west no matter what.

There was no road on the mountain, so he used wildfire to cut down the weeds to clear the way and drive away snakes and insects.It is said that mountains have three dangers: one is deep, the other is high, and the third is steep. Although this mountain is not very high, it is deep and steep.The two walked for a while. Yang Yan saw that there were many trees and tall grass in front of him, so he said: "The trees here are neatly grown. They must be close to the water source. If you find the water source, you can find the road." After walking a mile, he saw a horizontal road in front of him. A mountain wall four to five feet high, blocked by short trees and weeds from both sides.Yang Yan turned around and saw Wang Hong's pretty eyes slightly bent, full of ridicule. Yang Yan refused to admit defeat and said: "Climb up and have a look!"

Wang Hong replied coldly: "You go up and see if there is a way, I won't accompany you." Then he said, "Be careful, your leg is just right, don't break it again."

Yang Yan climbed up the rock wall.It's good not to look at it, but you'll know it's not good when you look at it.There is a mountain wall behind, probably not tens of feet high. It seems that this road is impassable.

Yang Yan gritted his teeth and climbed down the rock wall.Looking at his expression, Wang Hong knew there was no way out, so she just sneered and asked, "Where should we go next?"

Yang Yan snorted, and the two of them wandered around in random directions. After a long time, they were trapped in the forest.

"Okay now, we are really lost." Wang Hong gritted her teeth.

I don’t know how many days have passed, it must have been seven or eight days. Yang Yan can’t remember. What is certain is that it is May now, I don’t know what day it is.The two of them had eaten all the dried meat four days ago and lived on wild fruits and leaves. They didn't know what kind of fruits Yang Yan picked. On the first day, Wang Hong rolled around in pain and pointed at Yang Yan's nose and cursed. .

Yang Yan was so angry at being scolded that he asked Wang Hong to find food. After eating the grass roots and leaves Wang Hong brought, Yang Yan couldn't help the pain. He had diarrhea all day and his feet were sore and weak.

There are animals and birds on the snow-capped mountains, but the terrain is rugged and hunting is difficult. We need to make some traps, but we don’t have any tools.The only consolation was that I found a stream of water only half a foot wide and no more than a foot deep. Fortunately it was May and the snow had melted, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it.

There was a way out by following the current. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know how long they would have to walk.

On the third day, I saw a snow chicken. The two of them chased each other, ran and jumped, and fell several times. Only then did they have a full meal that night.

The stream is extremely narrow and becomes trickier towards the back, seeping into the ground before it reaches the bottom of the mountain.Fortunately, there was this creek to guide the direction. On the fifth day, when they finally saw the grassland at the foot of the mountain, the two of them almost cheered.

But they didn't. Neither of them wanted to show timidity in front of the other party. Yang Yan said coldly: "It's finally here." Wang Hong responded calmly: "It was expected."

Saying this, they were excited in their hearts. The two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace, but they forced themselves to restrain themselves and not reveal their joy. They didn't arrive at the foot of the mountain until nightfall.

The two were hungry and had nowhere to find food late at night. The oil lamps had already dried up and they were thrown on the mountain. They had no choice but to set up a tent and spend the night at the foot of the mountain.Yang Yan was hungry and couldn't sleep well, so he walked out of the tent at dawn, took a big breath, looked at the road he came from, and saw that the mountain was not very high, just winding and winding, with a mountain behind it.Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt dizzy and my feet were weak from hunger.

Wang Hong also got out of the tent and took a deep breath.When Yang Yan asked about food, Wang Hong rolled her eyes: "I remember there is a tribe nearby. Of course there will be food when you get there."

Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great."

This is a very wide grassland with scattered low shrubs, and otherwise it is loess.Yang Yan looked up and saw that except for the rolling mountains, the sky was clear and there was no sign of smoke or people.A gust of cool breeze blows, and the scenery is very different from that in the pass. It feels like a vast sea and sky.

The two were so hungry that they were too lazy to talk and headed north.There was no road on the grassland, so he walked along the loess land for more than half an hour. Yang Yan couldn't help but ask: "How far is it?"

Wang Hong frowned and said, "It's strange, it should be around here." She looked around, her memory was blurry and she couldn't remember.

Yang Yan couldn't help but be anxious: "Could he be lost again?"

Wang Hong said: "There must be one. I passed by it before, so... it must be nearby!"

Yang Yan scolded: "What should I do if I don't? I lost my way again and took a sidetrack. Why don't I starve to death here?"

Both of them are fierce people, and they are so hungry that they are dizzy. They have to rely on each other and put on a show when they are on the mountain. This will bring out their tempers due to hunger, which will be difficult to control no matter how hard they are.Wang Hong cursed angrily: "You were disobedient on the mountain and opposed me everywhere. If you hadn't led the way blindly, how could you have been delayed for so many days?"

Not to be outdone, Yang Yan cursed: "Don't put the shit basin on my head! If you hadn't even forgotten the way, do you need me to lead the way?"

Wang Hong cursed: "I only walked through it eight years ago, who remembers it?"

Yang Yan retorted: "My brother Ming walked the road once, and he will remember it 30 years later!"

Wang Hong said: "You should ask your brothers Ming and Jingfeng to come and save you! You girls who don't have dicks, you just expect your brothers to help when something happens, you have no spine!"

Yang Yan was furious and cursed: "Who are you calling spineless?" After saying that, he grabbed Wang Hong's sleeve.As soon as he exerted force, his stomach growled again. Yang Yan's eyes blurred, and he sat down on the ground and said, "I don't have the energy to argue with you! I'm going to find something to eat. Just wait for me here. Don't even think about going anywhere without food." go!"

Wang Hong was also so hungry that she fainted and said, "What kind of hunting are you doing? I caught that snow chicken on the mountain!"

Yang Yan said angrily: "If I hadn't chased it away from the front, you would have let the chicken run away!"

"I don't have the strength to argue with you!" Wang Hong scolded, "Let's each find our own thing! Damn it, we'll meet here in two hours. Whoever kills the most prey will listen to whoever you say in the future!"

"Okay!" Yang Yan said resolutely, "I want to win. From now on, when I call you a thief, you will answer my call!"

Wang Hong scolded: "If I win, you will change your name to Diarrhea from now on!"

The two of them agreed that Yang Yan would go east and Wang Hong would go west. They agreed on a time to meet and then left.Before leaving, Wang Hong told Yang Yan that if he found the tribe, don't rush in and meet up first.

"You are from Guan Nei and you don't understand the rules. If you say the wrong thing, you will have to hang on a cedar tree to bask in the sun."
