[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Report!" Val Khan, who was waiting for his second son's triumphant return in the royal court, received the urgent report.

"But good news from my son?"

"Reporting to the Great Khan, the third prince... the third prince has gone." The person who reported the letter knelt down on his knees with a look of grief, telling this cruel fact.

Warle Khan overturned the table and kicked the messenger to the ground: "Bold, how dare you curse my son." How could his brave and undefeated third son die?This person must have passed the news indiscriminately, and a heart-warming messenger who was kicked aside curled up like a shrimp, unable to utter a word, which shows how heavy the kick was.

"Father Khan." The voice of the second prince's grief came from outside the big tent, and Val Khan had no time to respond. The second prince had already entered the big tent with the box containing the iron head with his own hands. Kneeling on the ground, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, and her face was full of tears.

Holding the casket, the second prince took two steps forward on his knees, distraught: "Father Khan, you must avenge the third brother!" After speaking, he lifted the casket above his head, sobbing and crying again.

Waler Khan stared at Tiezamu's staring head, trembling all over, with disbelief in his eyes, trembling hands, moving forward step by step with all his strength, wanting to touch it, but still If he didn't touch it, he retracted suddenly as if his hand was scalded.

"Who is it? Who killed my son?" Wal Khan jumped out every word from between his teeth, gnashing his teeth, wishing he could skin his enemy alive with his own hands.

"My son only knows his name is Jia She. When he appeared, he was riding a white wolf and he had no armor. I don't know what position he is in." Jia She was the one who asked me to report the name, otherwise the second prince might not even know his name.

"White wolf?"

"Yes, he seemed to appear out of nowhere, not only took the third brother's head, but also used the third brother's head to lead the son to a canyon. We were ambushed by Da Qi's army and lost 3 horses." The second prince said. He bowed his head in shame. In the past, he who claimed to be the best at strategy was so easily caught by the enemy's tricks. Not to mention that he failed to protect the third brother, and even caused Val to lose [-] good sons. The second prince hated himself like never before. .

"Ambush? What a Yuan Chenghe, it's been a long time since we're going to attack him while he's running out of food..." As if he understood something, Wal Khan couldn't hold on any longer, and his legs softened and he knelt on the ground. , snatched the box, and hugged it tightly in his arms, with a look of remorse on his face.

"Son, it's Father Khan who harmed you. It's Father Khan who is self-righteous, thinking that twenty secret calls can destroy the other party's food and grass. Father Khan regrets it so much. Son, Father Khan is wrong. Father Khan is wrong."

"Father Khan!"

After getting the news, the eldest prince rushed back quickly and opened the curtain, and saw his second brother and his father crying, all the servants around him were kneeling on the ground, their eyes were astringent, but they forcibly forced back the tears that were about to burst into their eyes, and walked forward comforted:

"Father Khan, let the shaman call out the soul and pray for the third brother first, so that the third brother can be reincarnated as soon as possible. One day, the son will definitely kill the enemy of the third brother with his own hands."

"Yes, yes, the soul of your third brother must still be wandering outside, go and invite the shaman to come over, and go quickly." The Waller people regard the abnormal death, especially this kind of death with a different head, as the soul of the deceased. He will wander outside all the year round and cannot enter the underworld for reincarnation smoothly. The oldest and most respected shaman must hold a soul-calling ceremony for him, praying for a smooth reincarnation on the 49th of July.

Why didn't Wal Khan suspect that the second prince was a hindrance and had a hand in Tiezamu's death?It is because of the right to inherit the Khan throne of the Wale royal family. The Khan position of the eldest wife must be inherited by the eldest son of the eldest wife. If the eldest wife has no children, the eldest son of the second wife will succeed, and so on; After all the deaths, it will be the turn of the eldest wife and the second son, and so on... Tie Zhamu is ranked third, and there is no conflict of interest with the second prince. Even if he wants to fight internally, the third son should get rid of the second son. Besides, the eldest prince is still alive and well, even if he wants to be the first in the fight, he must focus his firepower on the eldest prince.Therefore, the death of Tiezhamu will not be conspired by Wal Khan at all, suspected of fighting among brothers, jealous of talents and talents.

And why Waller was able to rise gradually in the northwest grassland area after the destruction of Xitu, and became the most powerful tribe. It is inseparable from a rule handed down by their tribe: Brothers should not fight against each other. If someone is found deliberately provoking trouble , triggering a fight between brothers, the person who caused the trouble will be expelled from the Waller family, exiled to the desert for life, and his soul will continue to wander in the desert after death.In short, Waller can rise because of one sentence: Brothers are united, and their profits can cut gold.What people pay attention to is to move one's heart to one place and to move one's energy to one place. Every Waller has been raised in this way since birth. These things, including the rules of changing the throne, have been engraved in their bones from the very beginning, and very few people will give birth to disobedience. heart of.

Therefore, based on various factors, the change of power in the Valle royal family has always been relatively peaceful. There is no fight among brothers to fight for the sweat position. Think about it, everyone, after finally breaking out of the encirclement and stepping on the bones of brothers to climb to the top, the subjects of the tribe Quit it, how can the source of cholera be king, it must be expelled, and we will elect a new king from other common surnames.What is it called?This is called making a wedding dress for someone else after working for a long time, who would be so stupid to do such a thing.

Of course, Waller not only inherits this way in order, Waller has divided many branches, which one has enough strength, and thinks that he can compete with the royal court, so he makes an appointment to fight a few fights, and if he wins, he can replace him. The loser becomes the new Khan.

It's a bit far away, let's go back and talk about the shaman's prayer for the soul of the third prince. It was night, and the royal court prepared a grand ceremony. Because too many people were lost this time, this is the most elite Cavalryman, Val Khan was so distressed that he was about to twitch, so this unprecedented grand ceremony not only prayed for Tiezamu, but also prayed for the dead thirty thousand sons.

The skinny, wrinkled shaman wears a crown of bird feathers of various colors, the longest feather in the crown is about half a meter; It was stacked up, hanging loosely on the body like that, sitting in front of the third prince, reciting obscure words and phrases, occasionally mixed with gestures that seemed to be there, it seemed serious, and it was really like calling out souls.

The most critical soul-calling session lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the subsequent blessings were performed by the wizard's disciples. The 12 people sat around the third prince's body as the center, chanting words, and began to pray for him for 49 days. Khan secretly summoned.

"Wizard, please avenge my son." Val Khan bent his back deeply, and said in an almost pleading tone.

The wizard sat cross-legged on one side, drooping his eyelids and didn't move for a while. If he didn't look carefully, he couldn't even feel his breathing, as if he was a dead person.

Wal Khan gritted his teeth, and continued: "The enemy who killed my son has a mount, which is a fetish that I, Wal, have always enshrined—the white wolf." It is clear that apart from the revenge of killing his son, there is more fear of Jia She, this person cannot be relieved of the hatred in his heart, and if this person is not removed, Waller will have a strong enemy, not to mention the things that his ancestors have enshrined for generations It became someone else's mount, how could Wal Khan not feel worried and jealous.

Hearing the white wolf, the wizard opened his eyes, but because of his old age, even when he opened his eyes, they were covered by loose eyelids, leaving only a gap.After a long time, the wizard sighed and said, "Forget it, I will risk my life and try."

Very few shamans have the ability to curse, and it just so happens that this ninety-year-old wizard has the ability to curse.It’s just that the curse is going against the sky, and the curser himself will be greatly backlashed, so even wizards with this ability rarely reveal it. Only the kings of the past will know, or through the previous session. Before the death of King Khan, it was said by word of mouth that an old man like a wizard must change his life for his life to do anything.

"Thank you sorcerer." Val Khan bowed deeply, this time expressing his gratitude sincerely.A wizard has a very high status in the Waller family. The older the age, the stronger the ability. It is comparable to the position of the national teacher in the Central Plains. Large-scale sacrifices and blessings must be presided over by the wizard. This time, he sacrificed such a wizard for revenge. It is a lie that Val Khan is not heartbroken, but his intuition tells him that if he does not get rid of his enemies as soon as possible, what awaits him will be a catastrophe. It is easy to see whether a wizard is more important than the entire Waller family.

The wizard took a hair from Tie Zhamu, because it was killed by Jia She, so the wizard can trace it back to Jia She himself, and wrote Jia She's name on a piece of worn and yellowed paper, which is another After stringing together obscure words, put the hair and paper together and burn them.After the faint blue flames were extinguished, there was a seemingly invisible connection in the air drifting towards the Northwest camp. The wizard looked for this trace and prepared to cast a curse.

It's just that just after the incantation was finished, the wizard suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body was stiff and motionless, dirty blood flowed out from his seven orifices, and there was a hoo hoo sound from his mouth. After shaking violently, his body fell to the ground. He helped him up, but the wizard's eyes were dull, and he only had time to say: "The chosen one is actually the chosen one." After speaking, he kicked his legs and left like this.

"Wizard, wizard..." Val Khan wanted to wake up the wizard, who is the chosen one?Has the enemy, Jia She, been cursed?It's a pity that the dead wizard can no longer explain it.

In the northwest camp, Jia Amnesty, who was making a medicine bath for Yuan Chenghe, suddenly felt a throbbing heart, and turned his head to look in a direction in the void.If he guessed right, that was Valer's base camp. What happened to make him suddenly feel this way?After a long while, I didn't notice any abnormality, so I restrained my mind and continued to boil the medicine.

And when the wizard followed the traces to lock on Jia She, he was still captured by the golden light of merit in Jia She's body, and his eyes went blind on the spot. Death.If this curse is successfully applied to Jia She, his body will gradually weaken, and he will bleed to death from his seven orifices on the seventh day. Whoever makes the wizard touch someone who shouldn't be moved will eventually repay himself, and even mistake him. He thought Jia She was the chosen one.

Oh, another beautiful misunderstanding!
