Jinjun has changed a lot. She's thinner and older. His beard had grown by half a foot since his face had turned white. He had a bit of a bearded man's demeanor, but his eyes were sunken. But his eyes were still sharp.
"Jinjun, I'm fine." Shen Lang asked with a smile.
Jinjun's face trembled, then he knelt down and kowtowed, "Your majesty, long live, long live!"
Shen Lang was very excited. These months of adventure was to save this group of loyal followers, and now he finally found them.
Jinjun, however, was even more excited, unable to express himself in any way.
Of course, he had calmed down a little. But when he saw Shen Lang for the first time, his heart almost stopped, and his blood seemed to freeze for a moment, then it boiled completely, and his whole body seemed to explode with ecstasy.
There was a feeling that she could not believe whether the world was real or not.
Over the past few years, Jinjun had experienced a hell of a time, almost every day was the darkest moment, getting worse by the day.
In order to save them, Shen Lang took the initiative to board the ship of Jixuan princess and princess Ning Han. At that time, Jinjun was ordered to lead hundreds of thousands of people south into South assaulting country, and the torment had already begun since then, because he did not know whether Shen Lang was alive or dead.
At that time, his heart was completely based on a belief that Shen Lang had created so many miracles that he would not die this time.
Next, Ning Qi led 300,000 troops to attack South assaulting country and the barbarians.
It's been a good year, because Ning Qi has completely lost his confidence and is no longer as sharp as before. This battle was perfunctory and even had a tacit understanding with Jinjun. There were no casualties in the war, and there was a tug-of-war. Today you took a city, and tomorrow I will take it back. All in all, it looked like the fight was going on, but it didn't have any real results.
After that, Ning Qi was called back to Tianyue city and replaced with Zhu Hongxue's ten thousand souls.
From then on, Shen Lang's 100,000 loyalists, as well as the army of the sand barbarians, had been destroyed.
They were very brave, and the barbarians were very powerful, but the gap between them and the blood soul army was still too far.
Keep losing, keep losing, keep losing.
Keep retreating, keep retreating.
Although the population of the sand barbarians was small, they were larger than Yue kingdom. There were mountains and forests all over the country, stretching for thousands of miles, and they had excellent vertical and horizontal characteristics. Originally, according to the idea, relying on the geographical advantages of the sand barbarians could restrain Zhu Hongxue's blood soul army.
But I didn't expect it to be impossible at all. Even in the jungle and mountains, the blood soul army was invincible.
The clans of the southern kingdoms were destroyed one after another, and the entire shaman tribe was destroyed, and the ancient ruins of Ten thousand snakes cave were also occupied by Tianya haige.
Winning a war is not easy, but losing a war is the real test of a commander.
During that time, Jinjun had lost so many battles that it was impossible to count. He had lost hundreds of times, almost every battle.
If it were anyone else, after four or five defeats in a row, the entire army would have collapsed and dispersed, and even the commander himself would have collapsed.
At this time, Jinjun was like an iron man, always gathering the hearts of the people. He led the defeated soldiers to the south, south, south, and retreated seven or eight thousand miles in the mountains and jungle.
It could be said that without Jinjun, the sand barbarians would have long lost their species and the 100,000 people who followed Shen Lang would have died.
Although they had a large number of people, their combat effectiveness was not as good as one in ten of the blood soul army. Jinjun did not lose so many battles, but rather led the herd for thousands of miles and escaped the mouth of the tiger.
He kept a ball of fire.
Of course, there was an end to the retreat. At the southernmost end of the barbarians, there was a mountain thousands of meters high, half on land and half on the sea.
This was the end of the eastern world to the south, and there was no place to retreat, except to completely retreat to the sea, but there were no so many ships, and if tens of thousands of them fled to the sea, there would be no burial ground.
At that time, after the shamans discovered the ancient ruins of Ten thousand snakes cave, Jinjun kept thinking and exploring. How many times did he target the southernmost mountain of the shamans, which had many names?
Tianjushan, tianjushan and so on.
Jinjun had explored the mountain many times and had always wondered if there were any ancient ruins in it.
The reason is very simple, such a high mountain, the top of the mountain should be covered with snow, why this mountain does not have, even if it is four or five kilometers on the top of the mountain, it is also lush green trees, which is very abnormal.
And the mountain also has an unusual magnetic field, which is abnormal.
Of course, Jinjun had tried so many times to explore this mountain without any results.
When he was chased to death by Zhu Hongxue's blood soul army, he finally led tens of thousands of people to this tianjue mountain.
Then, his tens of thousands of people disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the earth.
After that, zhu hongxue set fire to the mountain and burned the mountain at an altitude of several thousand meters to the ground.
At that time, the scene really had a feeling of doomsday. The mountain at 5000 meters above sea level was burning like a torch of the world.
After the great fire burned the mountain, the mountain changed greatly, like a steel shell, so it was called Jin Gangfeng.
To put it bluntly, in the past few years, neither Jinjun nor anyone else knew if Shen Lang was still alive.
As time passed, the hearts of everyone grew darker and darker.
It was a dark time, and every day was a torment, and Jinjun had completely changed from a commander to a orator, because he had to give speeches to everyone every once in a while to boost their morale, or else more people would commit suicide.
But this kind of speech can still be done once or twice, even ten or eight times. It has been nearly two years. Hundreds of speeches, to ignite the flame in everyone's heart, so that they can continue to live, how difficult is this?
It was really hard work, so Jinjun lost a lot of weight and was 20 years older.
Although the ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng were empty, patrols were still carried out every day, and the routes were constantly changing, lest the constant patrols would be depressing.
However, this kind of patrol was destined to be extremely boring, because not to mention a person, not even a mosquito, every patrol was empty.
But this time, the patrol met someone.
When he saw Shen Lang for the first time, he burst into tears. He was so excited that he could not wait to howl.
At that moment, he really felt the sun rise.
It was as if after a long night, three whole years of darkness, in this dark world almost forgot the appearance of the day, and suddenly the sun rose, making people excited to go crazy.
Not only was his majesty Shen Lang not dead, but his true king had returned, and he had actually come to save everyone.
To be able to have this lord, I will die without regret.
...
"Master."
"Your majesty..."
Then several figures rushed in. The other women were fine and knelt on the ground in excitement.
One of the beauties actually threw herself into shen langdao's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the face.
"Master, you finally woke up. When I first saw you two days ago, I really suspected that I was dreaming."
"I was by your side the whole time. I just went to get a bowl of soup and you woke up."
Shen Lang was shocked. Who was this beauty? A little familiar?
Beautiful woman, we should not have any adultery, otherwise I probably wouldn't have forgotten it so thoroughly.
At this moment, Crazy Lan came in with a child in his arms. Originally, he was very excited, but when he saw his wife hugging his majesty Shen Lang and kissing him madly, he felt as if he had eaten a hundred lemons.
Nothing, nothing.
The man Salty slave loved was me. He only worshipped his majesty passionately. In his majesty's words, he was a fan of the brain. We should understand the behavior of the fan of the brain and be more broad-minded as men.
Shen Lang finally remembered that the beauty in his arms was Salty slave, the woman with a waist of eight feet.
She... She's actually so thin now. It's less than 110 kilograms. She's incredibly slim and absolutely beautiful.
Crazy Lan came forward with a child in his arms and kowtowed, "Your majesty, long live, long live."
Salty slave turned a blind eye to the tears in her husband's eyes. She held the child directly and placed it in front of Shen Lang, "Your majesty, look at this. This is our child. It's not named yet. Please choose one."
What do you mean this is our child? It sounds like something's wrong. There will be rumors.
Crazy Lan said weakly, "Your majesty, this is the child of Salty slave and me. We haven't named him. We've been waiting for you to show up and give him a name."
Shen Lang held the child for about four or five months, but he was very healthy and strong. He was sleeping soundly. He opened his eyes lazily and looked at Shen Lang, then closed them lazily.
"This child has beautiful eyes. Let's call him lan mou." Shen lang said.
Salty slave said happily, "That's a good name. That's a good name. It sounds so noble."
"Your majesty, long live your majesty."
A moment later, the ten brothers of the lan family knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
They had all undergone great changes, even metamorphosis. The previous laziness had all disappeared, replaced by a deeper layer, but there was no lack of sharpness.
"Minister Su Nan, see your majesty. Long live, long live." Su Nan kowtowed neatly, his wife and five children kneeling behind him. The oldest was five years old, and the youngest was only a year old.
This man is really amazing. He was almost exterminated. Even in a desperate situation, he tried his best to give birth to a child. At this rate, he will soon become a big family.
What a trick. This Su Nan was once the biggest enemy, but now he has become a vassal of Shen Lang.
"Su hou, you still have the skills to maintain yourself. I haven't seen you for many years. You're still so young." Shen Lang smiled.
Su Nan once again kowtowed, his forehead trembling, "Thank you, lord long en."
Because Shen Lang's sentence, su hou, was equivalent to returning the title to him.
Shen lang said, "Time has seen the heart of the people. Over the past few years, Su imperial concubine has been very good. He has always taken good care of his majesty Ning Yuanxian. Now he is in Lei zhou island to accompany his majesty ning for the rest of his life. Ning Jing is also mature. Now he is assisting Ning Zheng in handling government affairs."
Su Nan once again kowtowed and said, "Thank you, lord long en."
"Minister Nangong Ao, your majesty, long live, long live." Marquis zhenbei Nangong Ao, who used to be in Yue kingdom, knelt before Shen Lang, and one of his sons was kneeling behind him.
"Your majesty, the little boy, is awake? Hahaha, that's great. Your majesty is fine with everything, but his body is too fleshy." There was a thunderous laugh outside. This man was Jiang Li's special bloodline, Lan Bao, who had followed Ning Qi to the top.
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at them coldly, full of reprimands.
Tu Da and Tuer said in a low voice, "I told you, you can't call a pretty boy. It's okay if the three of us call him in private. You still call him out in the open, you want to kill him."
However, the two of them spoke in a low voice just like normal people shouting.
Tu Da, Tuer, Chu kingdom's top general, Jiang Li's special bloodline, born as a war refugee.
Several years ago, the two brothers fought with Dasha.
"Your majesty, you must not mind. Although we call you a pretty boy in private and have no power to tie a chicken up, you really don't look like king Jiang Li's seed, but you are still very great. The three of us admire you in our hearts and are willing to work hard for you...: Tu Da patted his chest and shouted.
Then, seeing that all eyes were staring at the three of them, he could not help but say weakly, "Are we saying the wrong thing? Are we going to kneel down?"
Jin jun said, "What do you think?"
All of a sudden, the three men knelt down and kowtowed, "See little... See your majesty, long live long live long live..."
Shen lang looked at the three giants with great joy.
Originally, his army was small, and his commanders and generals were few. Only Lan Feng, princess Dora, Chou Yaoer, and Ah Lu Nana were a few of them.
There were fewer courtiers, and even Chunhua zhang had to use them for a big purpose. After retiring for more than ten years, soxuan was also borrowed by Shen Lang.
Now, there are a lot of talented people. There are a lot of super generals all of a sudden. There is even Jinjun, a genius at the command level. His literary and military skills are superb. So is Su Nan.
Then, Jinjun's queen Shaman came in, carrying a pot of porridge, and smiled at Shen Lang, "I'm holding hot porridge in my hand, so I won't kneel down."
Shen Lang smiled at her. This shrewd woman, in her heart, Shen Lang would probably always be the same Shen Lang as before.
Struggling to get up, Shen Lang walked out of the room.
For the first time, he saw the complete view of the ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng, a staircase city of ancient times, spiraling up one layer after another.
The sun shone in through various means, including fields, flower beds, and pastures.
This ancient relic is very different from what shen lang had seen.
After seeing Shen Lang come out, tens of thousands of people outside knelt down neatly.
"Long live your majesty Shen Lang!"
"Long live your majesty! Long live your majesty!"
...
Next, Crazy Lan reported to Shen Lang.
"Your majesty, after you left, we entered South assaulting country. In the beginning, not only did our numbers not decrease, but more and more people came. Countless heroes could not find you, so they went straight to South assaulting country and joined me. At the most, we had 200,000 troops, plus the army of the shaman tribe. Over 350, 000 troops."
"Ning Qi led 300,000 troops to the south to attack South assaulting country. We had a tacit understanding. We fought over and over for half a year, and neither of us suffered any casualties. When the blood and soul army of Tianya haige arrived, our 350,000 soldiers were left with 50,000."
"A lot of people are on the battlefield. Imperial monk Shayin, the twenty-four chief of the shaman tribe, died twenty-two, and two survived. One of Nangong Ao's sons died."
"The remaining 50,000 are all elite."
"Of course, they didn't undergo a bloodline transformation, so it's impossible for them to reach the level of the blood soul army. But the environment here is very special, and the food we eat is very special. In addition, we have been fighting, fighting, training so desperately over the years, so I think 30,000 of these 50,000 people are Nirvana army level."
Shen Lang asked, "Kutouhuan, what's wrong with him?"
Jin jun said, "Your majesty should have also seen that there is an energy vortex at the eastern end of the ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng. If your minister is not wrong, your majesty should have come from that vortex."
Shen lang said, "Yes, the other end of the vortex is the giant ancient ruins developed by Mount futu."
Jin jun said, "After entering the ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng, we sent people to explore this energy vortex many times. The result was very painful. Anything that touched this energy vortex was completely destroyed."
Sure enough, this energy whirlpool was forbidden on both sides, no matter which side, as long as there was no authority, once touched, it would shatter into pieces.
Jinjun continued, "So we gave the order that no one should come near this energy vortex. You know brother zhuo very well, and he is very paranoid. He wants to leave here all the time. He wants to find you, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers. So he spent most of his time exploring this energy vortex."
In fact, Jinjun wanted to study this energy vortex more than Kutouhuan did, because he was the only person among all who had come into contact with the ancient ruins before. But he couldn't, because he had to manage tens of thousands of people, let them farm, train, and most importantly let them live in despair.
"Brother zhuo was a little obsessed and even tried to force himself into this energy vortex many times, so every time I sent two people to keep an eye on him." Jin jun said, "But one hundred and thirty days ago, this energy whirlpool suddenly changed and became transparent for no reason. Brother zhuo took the opportunity to rush over and disappear."
"It was only for a moment that the energy vortex became transparent and soon became chaotic again. Anything that touched it would be destroyed."
Shen lang nodded and said, "One hundred and thirty days ago, the Flaming dragon comet in the sky landed and hit the earth. The whole world changed a little, so the energy whirlpool became transparent in an instant. It should be related to the impact of the Comet."
All of this made sense. Kutouhuan was with Jinjun and the others, so why did he fall into Mount futu's hands alone?
Of course, there was also a doubt. Kutouhuan had undergone a drastic change in his body and lost his mind, but his martial arts and blood vessels had undergone a huge upgrade and transformation. At this time, he became very powerful. Was it because of the energy transfer vortex?
Or were the two situations separate, his bloodline metamorphosis caused by the energy swirling through it, and losing his mind was the work of the lord of mount Fu tu?
"Your majesty, we are in a very bad situation." The emperor said.
Shen Lang was stunned. He felt that the condition in the ruins of Jin Gangfeng was very good.
There was even farmland, with many crops, vegetables, fruits, and even livestock, as well as ranches.
Jin jun said, "Your majesty, the purpose of farming is to find something for everyone to do, but in fact, the harvest is not as good as the seeds planted. These livestock were brought into the ruins from outside before, and none of them wanted to kill them. The most important thing is... The energy of this ancient ruins is about to run out. Once this ancient relic runs out of energy, the air, sunlight, and food will all be cut off, and this place will become a dark dead city."
Shen Lang could also sense this because he passed through the energy vortex and when he walked through the special passage, all the light went out and even the oxygen fell below normal.
"Based on your estimation, how long can the energy of this ancient relic last?" Shen Lang asked.
"About two months," said jin jun.
Of course, Shen Lang didn't have two months at all. The lord of Fu tu mountain said that he would assemble his army to attack Raging tide city in ten days.
Shen Lang had only 20 days left to gather his troops and march. Two days had passed and there were less than 18 days left.
Shen Lang had to leave the ruins of Jin Gangfeng with tens of thousands of people, and he had to return to Raging tide city himself, because without him, the Long Zhihui could not launch.
Within 18 days, if Shen Lang did not return to Raging tide city, the city would be in ruins and his foundation would be destroyed.
Shen lang said, "This ancient relic looks very strange. Have you found any ancient weapons and equipment, ancient books?"
Jin jun said, "Not at all. When we came in, we found a lot of food, food that tens of thousands of people could not finish, and it was not rotten at all. Not only that, there is soil, there is a garden, but there is no ancient weapons. By the way, I have one most important thing to report to you."
Shen lang said, "Go ahead."
Jin jun said, "We were forced onto this tianjue mountain by the Tianya haige blood soul army. I think I can create a miracle at the last moment and bring the last tens of thousands of people into the ancient ruins. According to all kinds of evidence, there are really ancient ruins in this mountain, but I can't find a way to open it. I feel like I have tens of thousands of lives on my shoulders, and there should be no way out. But I still haven't been able to open this ancient relic. At that time, I was really desperate, and with these tens of thousands of people, there was no way out of the sky, no way out of the earth, and I was about to be killed and destroyed."
Shen lang said, "At this time, a man and a woman came. She helped you open the entrance to this ancient relic and let you evacuate tens of thousands of people successfully. So Zhu Hongxue's blood soul army went up the mountain to search and couldn't find your figure, as if it had evaporated from the earth."
Jinjun was astonished and said, "Yes, a woman. A woman whose words cannot be described by a minister, who cannot be described as beautiful. It is simply a dream. Even my minister is not sure whether she really exists or just my illusion. Everyone thought that I had opened the entrance to the ancient ruins and saved tens of thousands of people, but it was her who saved everyone. For a long time, I felt that it was god who opened the entrance to the ancient ruins, and this woman was just an illusion. But now that his majesty has said it, it proves that this woman really exists."
Shen lang said, "In fact, with your intelligence, you should know who this woman is, but you don't dare to assert it."
Jinjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it Leizu? The confidant of his majesty Jiang Li?"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes, it should be her."
Leizu, this woman who had appeared many times in Shen Lang's life, even of great significance, but Shen Lang had never seen her until now.
Unexpectedly, she saved Jinjun and others.
Mulan and Shen Yebaobao are with Leizu. I don't know, but are they okay?
"So it's her. It's really her." Jinjun sighed, "It wouldn't be surprising if it was her. She's the only person in the world for a few days."
Of course, the so-called heavenly man was not a god, but said that the martial arts and wisdom were far beyond the imagination of normal people, so it was called the heavenly man. At that time, and his majesty Jiang Li called the heavenly pride, there were not many people left. Dayanhuang Emperor was one, and this Leizu was one.
"Your majesty, the ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng that we are in are very strange." Jin jun said, "We have tried our best to explore every corner, but we have not found any ancient weapons and equipment, nor any ancient books. There are many houses here, but they are not suitable for living. Even in the ancient world, they are not suitable for living, because the sense of ceremony is very strong and the sense of reality is very weak."
"In addition, there are a lot of grain stored here, and they are all beautifully packaged and even sacred. It seems that it is not a normal storage, but a tribute."
Shen lang said, "Brother jin, state your judgment."
Jin jun said, "This is a sacrificial city, not for the living, but for the dead, or the gods of ancient civilization."
Of course, the so-called gods may not be the real gods, and they are just beliefs, just like the modern earth also worships this god and that god.
Shen Lang also had this feeling. When he first saw the ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng, he felt that the atmosphere here was very ethereal and sacred.
The city is located in the mountains of Jin Gangfeng, one floor circling the other. There are many beautiful houses, beautiful.
But it didn't look like a normal house at all. It was too designable. The garden, the house, the sculpture and so on seemed to be built entirely according to some kind of ceremony.
If it was a normal ancient city, there would be a secret warehouse, a secret weapon warehouse, or at least a library in the ancient times.
But there was nothing here.
The discovery of an ancient relic was certainly exciting, but there was no room for development and no treasure at all.
Jinjun suddenly said, "Your majesty, but I think that it is precisely because there are no ancient books, any ancient weapons and equipment, that is the greatest discovery, the greatest harvest."
Shen lang said, "Go ahead."
Jin jun said, "This ancient relic was completely built in the mountains, so where do you think the greatest essence of this ancient city should be?"
Shen lang said, "The top of the mountain."
He immediately thought of the high snow mountain peak of the ruins of Lost country, and there was a Pyramid, which had become a part of the mountain peak completely. There was already a mysterious and powerful force stationed in Pyramid on the top of the mountain. They had actually become the supreme ruler of the ruins of Lost country, with higher authority than the lost demon mother.
Princess Helen was so powerful, but in the end, he didn't explore Pyramid at the top of the mountain. Even the incomparably powerful lost demon mother was somehow controlled by the mountaintop Pyramid.
Jin jun said, "Your majesty, there is also a temple at the top of this ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng, and the entrance of this temple is also an energy whirlpool. No one is allowed to enter. Once touched, it will immediately shatter into pieces and be ashes."
Shen Lang's eyes immediately shrank.
There were no treasures in the entire ancient ruins of Jin Gangfeng. There were no ancient weapons, ancient equipment, or ancient books.
But even in the ancient civilization, it was far more difficult to build this city than a normal city. After all, this was a city within a mountain, thousands of meters high, layer by layer circling up, and not for the master, but for the worship of the gods. The so-called god must live in the temple at the top of the city.
What was in the temple? Perhaps there were real treasures in it that were worth far more than all the ancient equipment, weapons, real value, and even strategic value beyond the Long Zhihui?
Jin jun said, "I have a hunch that there should be treasures in this temple that will change the world. But no one can enter the temple on the top of the mountain through the energy vortex."
Yes, no one can cross the energy vortex except Shen Lang.
So, what amazing treasures are waiting for him in this temple?
Shen lang said, "Take me to the upper temple on the top of the mountain."
Jin jun said, "Yes!"
