Linzi, the imperial palace of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Even in the middle of the night, the old emperor still did not rest. He wore his dragon robe and reviewed memorials in the imperial study.
The prince served at his side and offered him tea, which allowed the old emperor to take a short rest.
He stared at the teacup in front of him in a daze.
The tea here is the Shuzhong tea that Gu Qiangqing presented to him a few years ago, and he likes it very much.
Shaking his head and getting rid of useless thoughts, the old emperor was about to bury himself in the sea of books again.
The prince felt a little sorry for the emperor's hard work.
"Father, please take a break."
The old emperor shook his head.
"Things have been happening frequently in Jiange County. Although it has been largely stabilized now, there are still earthquakes, plagues, and floods in Hengshan, Nanjun. There are also foreign enemies in the north and south. The Witch God Temple is also secretly causing chaos. We must hurry and stabilize Daqi. The Ghost Kingdom may appear in the next two years."
Although the old emperor is old, the prince is a young man.
He knew the questions raised by the old emperor in his previous sentences, but he had never heard of the Ghost Kingdom.
After all, the old emperor was old and felt a little tired from reviewing memorials. He stood up from the dragon throne and planned to stretch his body. The prince hurriedly followed him.
The old emperor walked slowly in the luxurious palace and spoke to the prince as he walked.
"The history of the Ghost Kingdom dates back over ten thousand years, even earlier than the Underworld."
"Since the ancient tribal era, humans have been at war."
"There are internal and external..."
Where there is war, there is death.
At that time, wizards were still in power and they loved to offer living sacrifices. The number of dead souls at that time was even greater than it is now.
It can be said that the souls of the dead at that time could be called an independent race, the ghost race.
As the ghost clan grew stronger, they also formed their own organization, and eventually, formed an extremely large country - the Ghost Kingdom.
The Ghost Kingdom occupied the south and was divided into two factions, the north and the south, with the human race.
In addition to unifying the country and fighting against the demons, human kings of all generations have also waged war against the ghost kingdom, fighting for land and resources, striving to allow the human race to continue and survive.
But that is the ghost country, the kingdom of the dead.
They are not afraid of death. As long as there is war, there will be deaths.
Therefore, the stronger the ghost country becomes, the weaker the human race becomes.
Later, the deity Hou Tu opened up the underworld and guided the souls of the dead for the livelihood of the human race.
As a result, the population replenishment of the Ghost Country dropped significantly.
But the Ghost Kingdom is too powerful and has too much accumulation, and there are many former human leaders or celebrities among them.
They refuse to enter the underworld.
Hou Tu's divine power was used to maintain the newly born underworld, and she was unable to do anything to them for the time being.
Finally, Hou Tu ran out of power and was about to fall asleep.
Before she fell asleep, she set up a seal, and the Ghost Kingdom has been independent from the human world since then.
The name of the Ghost Country has also become a taboo and should be avoided if possible.
The Confucian seal at Jianmen Pass was inspired by Hou Tu's seal on the Ghost Kingdom.
From then on, the south was finally settled, and many feudal lords such as Ba, Shu, and Chu were established.
But some witch gods are still close to the ghost kingdom. After all, the dead also have beliefs, and the beliefs of the dead are sometimes purer.
Therefore, there were constant disturbances in the south, first there was Bashu, then there was Wu and Yue, and there was also the Chu State which was expanding its territory.
Finally, after countless calculations, a gap was opened in the seal of the Ghost Kingdom.
"Every sixty years, the human race would cease hostilities and unite to attack the south. In name, this was to attack the rebellious Chu State, but in reality, it was a joint attack on the Ghost State."
The old emperor took the prince out of the imperial study, looked at the dim moonlight in the sky, and said to the prince.
"But now, there is no king in this world. The human race only has me, the supreme ruler."
"Then it will be up to me to lead the human race and defeat the Ghost Kingdom."
"When you inherit this position in the future, you must also bear this responsibility."
The prince thought back to the past ten thousand years, when the human race, under the attacks of the demon and ghost tribes, had gradually grown stronger under the leadership of successive human kings.
His mood also began to get excited.
The future of humanity should be shouldered by me.
The prince bowed and said, "Yes."
Although the prince was young, he discovered some problems after being passionate.
The human race was first guided by wizards, although the wizard gods treated the ghosts and humans equally.
But it is impossible that all wizards are devoted to the dead.
Later, with the emergence of hundreds of schools of thought, Taoism emerged, the gods were reincarnated, and saints always appeared in the world.
Especially now that Da Qi has two saints, Confucianism and Taoism.
Why hasn’t the Ghost Kingdom been completely wiped out yet?
He wanted to ask more, but the old emperor had already returned to his room and began reviewing memorials again.
In fact, the Ghost Kingdom has limitations.
The space in the ghost kingdom is even more restricted than the human world.
Neither ghosts nor immortals are allowed to enter or leave this place, nor are Mahayana practitioners allowed to enter or leave.
Therefore, although there are extraordinary people in the human world, the ghost clan can still survive and try to capture some high-quality souls by appearing in the world once every sixty years.
The old emperor did not tell the young prince.
The ghost country has actually appeared in the world.
Although the witch god's plan failed at every turn, it was still not that simple.
The two saints in the world are traveling outside, not just to watch the clouds and visit relatives.
…
Nanjun of Daqi, the former territory of Chu State, is located on a narrow path outside Jianmen Pass.
Kong Hanan was leaning on the back of a strong black bull, holding a ferocious dog, and dozing off leisurely.
Qing and Li You followed by his side, just like the butler and bodyguard of a nobleman when he went out.
It was the steward Li You who was wiping his sweat the whole time.
Qing, the bodyguard, occasionally shakes.
This narrow path was shrouded in fog at some point, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
