The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

Aman was a little confused at first, she always thought that Xu Qingfeng knew about the Stone of Life and Death.After Xu Qingfeng asked a few more questions, she slowly came to her senses.

From Aman's mouth, Xu Qingfeng can roughly piece together some information about the stone of life and death.

When Zhou's family went south, they met the Kagana people who migrated from southwest to northwest.

The two tribes exchanged tokens as a sign of friendship, and what Zhou's wizard gave to the Kagana tribe was a fragment of the sacred stone.

The ancestors of the Kagana tribe were fortunate enough to see the true face of the god stone. There has been a legend among the Kagana tribe that the god stone can understand the world, overturn the universe, guide the future, and travel through time and space.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the turmoil in the world cannot be avoided. The Kagana tribe has migrated several times, and the population is sparsely populated. Aman's grandma is the last wizard of the Kagana tribe. She left the god stone to Aman and passed away.

Hearing this, Xu Qingfeng was a little disappointed. He thought that he would have the opportunity to meet Aman's grandma, and then ask about the sacred stone in detail.

"Then how did the divine stone become the stone of life and death?"

"In our family, we don't call it "God's Stone", nor "Life and Death Stone". We call it "Duoxiongma", which means the stone left by God. We think it is the stone left by the ancient goddess Mending the Sky. . The term "stone of life and death" was said by those who kidnapped me and sold it. "Recalling the time when he was tied up, Aman showed a sad expression.

"Blue and White Club?"

Aman shook his head, "It's not them."

The Kagana people migrated to the Northwest for hundreds of years, and gradually moved closer to the Central Plains in recent decades. Coupled with the sparse population, they are a minority that merged with the Han people earlier.

But because of tradition, the Kagana people have always lived on the edge of the desert, guarding a small village and living a simple life.

Aman's grandmother is a wizard in the clan, loved by all the clansmen, so Aman spent a very happy childhood.But not all tribes are as peaceful as the Kagana.

From grasslands to deserts, the problem of survival has made people focus on the Central Plains.Unambitious tribes try to integrate into the Han people, and they can enjoy it, while tribes that are too ambitious dream of dominating.

Before entering the Central Plains, they formed alliances and split. From this end of the grassland to the other end of the desert, the vast land is their battlefield.

They have strong horses, their men are also strong, and their women work hard. With such a good form, why can't they dominate the Central Plains?

When they went to the Central Plains for business, they saw that this is a huge country, some places are poor and backward, and some places are prosperous and prosperous.

But they are all stable, they don't need to fight, they don't need to worry about food, they have no horses, and their men are not strong.

So the three strongest tribes outside the border formed an alliance.

"They also teamed up with the Han people..." Aman lowered his voice, "It's what you call the Demon Cult. The allied tribes provided a place for the Demon Cult to cultivate. It's near the desert. The place is barren, but they can all survive. , My grandma said, those people are all outlaws, and they joined the Devil's Cult just to survive."

Xu Qingfeng nodded.It is not a group of bad guys who form the Devil's Cult, but a group of bad guys get together, and people call them the Devil's Cult.After a long time, they took advantage of the opportunity to raise the banner of the Demon Cult to commit crimes.

"They naturally want to form alliances with other small tribes. This is a good time to unify the grasslands and deserts." Aman stroked his own life and death stone, "but Grandma refused. Grandma said that it is not a day or two for them to form an alliance. Oh my god, but this time they came in a menacing way, very anxious and tough, it's not a good thing."

Just after Chinese New Year this year, those people came to the door, because Grandma is very famous, those people came several times.

But every time they returned in vain, and the last time they lost their temper, saying that Grandma was stubborn and wanted all of them to suffer.Grandma fell seriously ill that night, and Ah Man was going to search for medicine in the desert, but Grandma stopped her.

"No need to go, people will die, I just reached the time to die."

Perhaps the old man has indeed reached his limit. Every cough and gasp affects his whole body, and all his strength is exhausted when he speaks.

A-Man cried and shook his head, holding Grandma's hand tightly.Before dawn, the old man's spirit suddenly recovered.

"Keep this away." Grandma put a stone in Aman's hand, "This is Dosi Wengma, you know, put it away, don't throw it away."

Knowing that this was a flashback, Aman put away the stones as he said, and sent the old man away with tears in his eyes.

After dawn, it was time to inform the whole village of the death of the wizard. Aman wiped away his tears and walked out of the house, only to see a group of mighty people coming from afar.

Those people dressed up in strange clothes and flaunted crimes. They were wanton, laughing loudly and making noises, but rushed into the small Kagana village with less than 70 people, and staged a drama similar to the tragedy in Shangfeng Town.

"The men are all dead. Girls my age are all sold out. That's the Blue and White Society. On the way, I heard them discussing Tosi Onma. They said that Grandma was a liar. Kagana was a long time ago. I lost the God Stone and went to the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, Duo Xiongma is called the Stone of Life and Death, and now it is in the hands of a young man..."

"it is me?"

"Yes."

"You already recognized me?"

"Yes. I secretly saw the portrait." Amanbi drew out a piece of paper with a boy drawn on it.

"I was surprised when I found out that you have Dosi Wengma, because I always thought that grandma was fooling them, but you see, my son, our stones are the same."

Aman spread out his hand, it was a white stone slightly smaller than Xu Qingfeng's, but judging from the material and color, the two stones were indeed the same.

Xu Qingfeng took the stone in Aman's hand and compared it with his own.

"When I was in a coma, I heard your voice." Xu Qingfeng said, maybe he was about to wake up at that time, Aman's voice was very clear.

Aman said that she would try to call Xu Qingfeng every other hour.

"That's it." Xu Qingfeng returned the stone of life and death to Aman, leaned sideways against the wall, and slowly sorted out the information.

The strange thing is that although the Demon Cult was looking for the Stone of Life and Death, they didn't seem to know what the Stone of Life and Death looked like, they just knew that the stone was on Xu Qingfeng's body.Then how did the Demon Cult know that the stone on Xu Qingfeng's body was the Stone of Life and Death?

Xu Qingfeng couldn't think of a reason, so he didn't think about it first, and asked instead: "Where did Zuo Ming go, and he hasn't come back for so long?"

"Brother Zuo, you should go nearby." Aman was also vague and couldn't explain clearly.

It has been half an hour since he woke up, and Xu Qingfeng has not seen Zuo Ming.

"When did he leave?"

Aman couldn't tell, Zuo Ming left after eating last night, and never came back after that, Aman watched alone all night with his eyelids closed.

"That means walking all night..." Xu Qingfeng was a little worried.

"You don't have to worry, son, are you hungry?" Aman was still very cheerful, smiling all the time, but Xu Qingfeng saw that Aman's eyes were bloodshot, and his figure was much haggard.

After waking up last night, he just asked a few simple questions. Zuo Ming and Aman must have experienced a lot of hardships during the three days he was in a coma. What if Tianwen didn't stay with Wusuli and Wuxuli?Where are they again?

The more Xu Qingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that now was not the time to lie down and recuperate.

"I'll get some food, son, lie down for a while." Without understanding Xu Qingfeng's thoughts, Aman stood up and said.

"Do we have anything to eat?"

The cakes and soup that Zuo Ming took last night should have been obtained from the people of Batun. Xu Qingfeng remembered that when he just woke up, Aman said that Zuo Ming had gone out to find food.

"Just ask the mother next door."

"Do you have money?"

"Yes, yes. Young master, don't worry, just lie down."

Xu Qingfeng was still worried, but Aman was very cheerful, saying that Xu Qingfeng didn't have to worry, and she would be back soon.

As soon as she said that, Aman ran out, and Xu Qingfeng didn't even have time to stop her.Aman soon came back with food, including the same soup and cakes as last night.

After Xu Qingfeng finished eating, Aman found a book for him from nowhere. Although it was not very interesting, it could relieve boredom anyway.

Leaning on the kang and reading for a while, Xu Qingfeng thought about waiting for Zuo Ming to come back and ask some more questions, but at some point he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After twisting the corners of the quilt for Xu Qingfeng, Aman quietly walked out, and heaved a sigh of relief after closing the door.

Zuo Ming didn't return all night, not only Xu Qingfeng was worried, but Aman was even more disturbed. Lei Jing searched for Xu Qingfeng in Qianzhou City, and in addition to the matter of sealing off the town, the owner of this house came here yesterday afternoon, very deviously. Inquiring about their identities, Aman said that the young master and Zuo Ming were brothers, and he was an accompanying maid, but he obviously didn't look like a Central Plains person, so he didn't know how much the other party could believe.

Aman wouldn't lie, he wanted to discuss with Zuo Ming that Batun might not be able to stay, but Zuo Ming went out again before he had time last night.

Although Aman has been taking care of the unconscious Xu Qingfeng all the time, she knows more or less what is going on outside. The further west you go, the less safe you are. Anyone can rob and kill in the name of the Demon Cult. , It is also very unsafe, they spent almost all their money to get a small room.

Aman looked out eagerly, hoping that Zuo Ming would come back soon.

At this moment, Zuo Ming was hiding among the crowd outside the city of Qianzhou.There was a lot of trouble going on in Shangfeng Town, so naturally some people wanted to take refuge in Qianzhou City.

However, the fact that Qianzhou can only enter and not go out is deterring, and more and more people are fleeing, and they simply gather outside the city of Qianzhou.

The city gate was open, but very few people went in. Those who could go in were those who had relatives in Qianzhou City, and most of the people were watching and waiting.As for what they were waiting for, they couldn't tell.

Zuo Ming was also in this group of people.There were a lot of people in this group, and they slept outside the city gate, like a large refugee area. However, the governor of Qianzhou never came forward to manage it.

Zuo Ming came here every day. He had thought that whether it was Tianwen or Wusuli, they would probably come to Qianzhou. In such a situation, they would not enter the city, and they would most likely be mixed in with this group of people.

In the past few days, Zuo Ming was looking for Tianwen and the other three, while paying attention to the movements in Qianzhou City. It was almost time before returning to Batun.But today the sun was high, and Zuo Ming was still sitting there motionless.

There is no other reason, the news from the capital is being discussed in the crowd.

"Really? Well, I think Nioh is not a good guy."

"Heh, it's as if you've met King Ni! Have you ever been to the capital? You're just talking nonsense!"

"So what if I haven't been there! "Cold Face Yama"!"Could this be called by ordinary people? "

"That's right, and wasn't King Ren sent to Xiangguo Temple? I think King Ren may be the reincarnation of a monster..."

That group of people said no matter how ugly they were, but Zuo Ming remained indifferent, only feeling cold in his heart.

What they were discussing was about King Ren's attempt to assassinate the emperor. Zuo Ming counted the time, and it was half a month ago!If it is true, King Ren has already been imprisoned.

Zuo Ming was confused, his mind was in chaos.What about Guan Hongfeng?For a long time, Guan Hongfeng did not deliver a letter to him. Speaking of which, the last letter from the capital was on the day he went to Shangfeng Town, and it was also about the bad situation in the capital...

The group was still discussing, and they could hear that they came from the central south. They described how King Ni assassinated him and how his plan was revealed in a very specific way, as if it was true.

Zuo Ming naturally did not believe that King Ren would rebel against him!However, the relationship between His Majesty and King Ren has always been at odds, who knows what will happen if he suddenly calls King Ren back to the capital?

If King Ni was framed, should he tell the son?With the son's temper, he will definitely want to go back to the capital!

Thinking of Xu Qingfeng, Zuo Ming's heart sank even more.If this is true, there will definitely be a list in the city of Qianzhou, but it will take a lot of effort to get out of the city after entering the city.

The young master should be awake now, seeing that he has not returned for a long time, he will definitely be worried.Zuo Ming was in a dilemma, after thinking about it, he made up his mind: No matter what, go back first, the young master's injury still needs to rest, and the matter of King Ren must not be said until it is confirmed!
