Power in the World: After Eternal Age

The wind is bitter, and amidst the snowflakes flying all over the sky, a fast horse is galloping on the official road in Yongzhou.

Riding on the horse was an old man in a green shirt. He raised his whip vigorously with one hand and hugged a four-year-old girl with the other.The girl closed her eyes tightly, as if she was still asleep.Behind the old man, there was a boy in his teens, his eyes wide open in horror, his hands were tightly grasping the waistband of the old man on horseback, and he looked back from time to time at a group of scattered flames behind him.

The horse under the seat suddenly neighed, fell into the thick snow, rolled a few times and could no longer move.

Immediately the three passengers were caught by surprise and fell into the snow all at once.The old man rolled on the snow a few times before he stabilized his figure and held the little girl tightly in his arms.

The old man stretched out his sleeves and wiped the snow off the girl's face. Seeing that the girl was awake and looking at him with frightened eyes, he felt relieved.

The old man lowered his voice and called anxiously: "Feng Xi, are you alright?"

The boy called Feng Xi by the old man had just lifted his head up from the thick snow, when he heard the old man's call, he replied weakly: "General Hua, I'm fine. It's just that I'm so scared, General Hua, if Being caught up by them will definitely kill us."

Hearing Feng Xi's answer, the old man felt a little relieved, picked up the baby girl from the snow and jumped up. With the reflection of the white snow, he quickly spotted a small black figure not far away. .

He came to the side of the shadow, stretched out a hand and grabbed Feng Xi from the snow.Feng Xi felt cold and scared, so he hugged the old man's waist unconsciously.

The old man let out a cry of pain, and Feng Xi realized that there was still an arrow sticking out of the old man's shoulder. He hugged him violently just now, and accidentally brushed against the arrow branch.

Feng Xi asked in horror: "General Hua, are you injured? What can we do? The pursuers are approaching. It seems that the three of us cannot escape death. Poor my young sister is also implicated in this! "

The old man endured the severe pain, panting and said: "This horse has been fighting with me for the rest of my life. The general who was originally a chariot rider took pity on me and allowed me to take this old horse back to my hometown for retirement, but unexpectedly, I encountered such a catastrophe and exhausted the horse to death! Feng Xi, we don't have any chance to escape now, and I've been wounded by an arrow, so I can't do enough to protect the two young masters. Why don't we find a place to hide, and I hope the Buddha will bless the eyes of those pursuers. I escaped the pursuers by luck, and try to get out of here after dawn."

The old man struggled to drag the fallen war horse and buried it with snow on the side of the road.He stared at the snowdrift where the war horse was buried, sobbed a few times, turned around and held the baby girl in one hand, and Feng Xi in the other, and staggered forward on the snow.The blood on the shoulders quickly stopped in this cold snowy night, and the bloodstains where it fell just now were also covered by the continuous falling snowflakes.

In the dark pine forest in the distance, the gray silhouette of a house is faintly revealed.The old man took his two children and came to the house with difficulty, only to find that it was a dilapidated small temple.

A corner of the left side of the temple caved in, and the snow and thatch mixed together, just happened to block the broken wall, and the small temple seemed much warmer, and the cold wind could not penetrate.

The old man saw some thatch on the ground in a corner of the temple, so he put the baby girl in his arms on the thatch, pulled the little boy Feng Xi, and hugged the two children tightly in his arms, one on the left and the other on the right. body temperature to keep the two children warm.

Seeing the two cold and frightened children shivering in his arms, the old man sighed. After the fierce battle just now, the old man looked extremely tired and said quietly: "Children, hold back, don't cry out loud!" , must not let the pursuers find out. Remember your great hatred, as long as you can get out of the predicament, you will avenge your family in the future."

Feng Xi gritted his teeth in pain, and nodded in agreement.The old man was surprised to find that the little girl in his arms did not cry out, and there was a trace of determination on that immature face.

It was during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Tuoba Tao, the third emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had just unified northern China.Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was built by the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei family, the founding monarchs of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Taizu Xuanwu Emperor Tuoba Gui, and the Northern Wei Emperor Taizong Mingyuan Emperor Tuoba Si believed in Buddhism and built temples in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

By the time of the third emperor Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, Buddhism had been widely accepted by the nobles of Xianbei and the Han people under the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty, laying a solid foundation for the national integration of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At this time, Master Bodhidharma of Tianzhu Kingdom, who later traveled to China to promote Buddhism, had not yet been born, let alone the Shaolin Temple, which was later famous all over the world.The Buddha-making movement has not yet flourished, and most of the temples at that time only enshrined the names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas without Buddha statues.

Looking at the empty and dilapidated small temple, the old man let out a long sigh, hugging the pair of children in his arms tightly, closing his eyes and praying to the Buddha to bless him to survive the murder in front of him safely.

The old man's name was Huahu, and he was a general of the ninth rank under Feng Chong, the chariot and cavalry general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.It was mid-winter, and Feng Chong pitied his old man, who had been loyal and brave all his life, and specially allowed Huahu to retire and return to his hometown.

When Huahu was leaving, Feng Chong asked Huahu to bring the war horse that had accompanied him for more than ten years, and asked Huahu to bring home letters and some gifts to visit his brother Feng Lang in Yongzhou on his behalf.

At this time, Feng Lang paid homage to the Inspectors of Qin and Yong Prefectures, and granted the imperial title of Prince of Liaoxi County. Seeing Huahu arrive with his brother's family letter, he was overjoyed.

When he was entertaining Hua Hu, unexpectedly a catastrophe fell, Zong Ai, the eunuch of the Northern Wei Palace, surrounded Feng Lang's mansion with the imperial guards.

Zong Ai read out the imperial decree of Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, saying that Feng Mao, the younger brother of Feng Lang, surrendered to Rouran because of his disastrous defeat when he conquered Rouran, a powerful enemy in the north.According to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, all the men of the Yiqi tribe were beheaded, and the women were served as palace slaves.

After receiving the imperial decree, Feng Lang was like a bolt from the blue, not knowing how to deal with it.After the Later Yan Dynasty returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was highly regarded by the Northern Wei Emperor, and he was determined to be loyal and good throughout his life to repay the Northern Wei Emperor's kindness.

Unexpectedly, a disaster broke out, and Feng's family was wiped out.Feng Lang decided to show his ambition with death, even though the whole family's male members were wiped out, in the end, the whole family of more than ten female relatives could survive.

Unexpectedly, Chang Shi Zong'ai did not follow the imperial decree of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao, and arbitrarily ordered to kill Feng's family, even the female relatives.

It was only at this time that Feng Lang realized that such disasters must have been slandered by villains, and Emperor Taiwu was so angry that he ordered to destroy the three Feng clans.Feng Lang himself has made up his mind, so he entrusts Hua Hu to take his teenage son Feng Xi and four-year-old daughter Feng Ai to escape from the Feng Mansion. When the children grow up in the future, they will die for their family being wronged.

Hua Hu was originally a loyal and brave man, entrusted by Feng Lang before his death, and grateful for the kindness of Feng Lang's elder brother Feng Chongzhi, relying on his martial arts, he led Feng Lang and his sons and daughters to fight to the death and break out of the encirclement.
