Tang Yin was startled, and searched through Yan Lie's memories silently. That's right, it was impossible to be an official in a Haotian Empire commoner, and only after obtaining a title would one have the qualification and the opportunity to obtain an official rank, and Feng Country was the same.
He nodded and asked, "So you chose to join the army and killed the enemy to gain the title of nobility?"
The youth did not hide anything and replied, "Yes. and it's easier to get a title in the military.
This was the truth, the Feng Country also had a tradition of fighting. During times of war, the military had always used the number of heads to take the enemy's head as a reward. The more heads the enemy brought back, the more meritorious service they would receive.
Tang Yin laughed as he looked at the young man: "Seems like you have never trained in the Spirit Force before?"
The youth said with a stern expression, "I'm a scholar."
Tang Yin shrugged and said: "Using weapons is difficult, how can we kill the enemy? If they couldn't kill the enemy, how could they acquire the enemy's head? If you don't have a head, how will you get the title? "
The young man laughed. His smile was very crafty as he said, "That's why I've been looking for someone to cooperate with me. I've never been able to find one, but …" His eyes shone as he looked at Tang Yin, and laughed: "Now, I've found it."
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, pointing at his nose, he said: "You couldn't have found me, right?"
The youth repeatedly nodded in excitement: "You have martial arts and I have literature. If we work together then it will be flawless and we will be able to get the title of nobility soon."
Tang Yin uninterested sneered, and said: "I won't be carrying a burden by my side." "To him, this young man has never cultivated the Spiritual Force before, he is just a useless person." Furthermore, I have no interest in titles, and this war has nothing to do with me either.
He only had one thought on his mind, which was to go to the Moon Spirit City below the Setting Sun Summit and find the crystal and Xuanzi so that he could take revenge.
Seeing his expression turn cold, the young man carefully asked, "Where are you going?"
"Moon Spirit City!"
"Moon Spirit City?" The young man was shocked and asked, "Is it the Moon Spirit City at the foot of Setting Sun Summit?"
"That's right." Tang Yin replied quickly.
The young man's face was filled with doubt as he asked suspiciously, "Why are you going there? Furthermore, the Moon Spirit City has already been in ruins for hundreds of years, so very few people would be able to remember the name. "
"What?" Tang Yin was shocked, Moon Spirit City was in ruins? How is that possible? When Yan Lie left Moon Spirit City to duel with Gu Zhen, it was still a prosperous city. How could it turn into ruins? Had Yan Lie seen a ghost? He knew it was impossible.
He sneered and said coldly, "You lied to me."
"Why should I lie to you? Furthermore, this kind of thing cannot be faked. You can ask around, but now, who would remember the name 'Moon Spirit City'? It has long since become history. "
Seeing that the young man did not look like he was lying, Tang Yin's initial confidence in himself started to waver, a thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly remembered that Yan Lie's body was already a skeleton, could it be... He did not dare to continue thinking about it and asked softly, "Now …" How many years is it on the calendar? "
The imperial calendar was the chronology of the Haotian Empire, using the founding of the Haotian Empire as the year of the imperial calendar.
The young man looked at Tang Yin strangely and said: "It's the 805th year of the Emperor Calendar, you … Are you all right? "
How could there be no problems?
Tang Yin's head buzzed. He clearly knew that Yan Lie sought out Gu Zhen for a duel in the year 305 of the imperial calendar, but now it was 805. In other words, it was five hundred years later when Yan Lie looked for Gu Zhen at that time.
He grabbed the young man's neck and asked in a stern voice, "You didn't lie to me?"
The youth was startled by his appearance. He stuttered: "This... How could this be a lie? Right now, it is truly the year 805 of the imperial calendar! "
Tang Yin slowly let go of his hands. In an instant, like a deflated ball, his legs became weak and he slowly sat down on the ground.
It was really hard to imagine that Yan Lie had actually died five hundred years ago. A period of five hundred years was enough to change many things. Even the glorious Moon Spirit City was reduced to ruins.
He did not belong to this world, and now even the Yan Lie that he had fused with no longer belonged to this world. Tang Yin closed his eyes, then, what was the meaning of his existence in this world?
The crystal could not live for five hundred years, so it was impossible for Xuanyuan Zhenzi to live for five hundred years either. All the questions and hatred that belonged to him started to disappear after five hundred years, while Tang Yin, who had just found his target, suddenly felt as if he had been hollowed out and didn't know where he should go from here.
"You … What happened to you? " The young man did not know where such a problem had occurred with Tang Yin, so he asked him softly.
Tang Yin shook his head. He had thought that there were still people he cared about, things he cared about, places he cared about in this world, but now, all of them had turned into ashes. He murmured, "I don't know where I should go. I don't know what I should do."
The young man stared blankly at him, then loudly said, "What is there to consider? "Now that we are in a chaotic world, of course we have to do something earth-shattering …" At this point, he also felt that he was exaggerating too much, so he changed his tone and said, "But so far, the most important thing is how can we escape?"
"Fleeing?" Tang Yin raised his head.
The young man continued faintly, "This time's departure for the Ning Country was carried out at the wrong time and the wrong place. The entire two hundred thousand people were dispersed by the force, and it is unknown just how many people are actually able to escape and return to the Feng Country. Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of Ning Country people chasing after us handicapped veterans.
Through Yan Lie's memories, Tang Yin knew that both Feng and Ning had arrived at their own country, but the battle between the two nations had never ended. In the end, it was caused by the competition between the two nations for Hedong Region, which caused the Hedong Region to be rich and fertile, and which caused the two countries to be rich in minerals, and which was originally half of both countries. Later, due to the suffering of the Ning Country, when they went to look for Feng Country for help, the king of the Ning Country had promised them their half of Hedong Region, but after accepting the conditions of the Ning Country, he did not give his all his effort to assist the Ning Country, which resulted in the latter's dissatisfaction. During this period, both Feng and Ning had occupied the entire Hedong Region, and both countries had declared Hedong Region as their own territory. The war had continued, and both sides had suffered more and more losses, which were difficult to estimate. In the end, no one could tell whether or not Hedong Region belonged to the Feng Country.
"Was this war even started because of the Hedong?" Although it had been five hundred years, Tang Yin's guess was not wrong.
The young man nodded: "Yes." It's just that, in the past few years, we have already fought too many battles, against Ning Country, against Yu Country, against Ann Country, the nation is already riddled with holes, and with the Ning Country recuperating, the nation's strength is much more powerful than before. It's even difficult for us to defend, how can we possibly win if we take the initiative? The Sovereign King was too anxious. I wonder how long I will have to wait before I can take back my Hedong Region. "
The corner of Tang Yin's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything more. Since the founding of Feng Country, wars had never stopped. People of the wind held power, and people with intrepid natures were long accustomed to fighting with war, however, the defeat of two hundred thousand soldiers was rarely seen in the history of Feng Country.
"Oh yeah, I'm Qiu Zhen. What's your name?"
"Tang Yin."
"What are your plans?" Are you still planning to go to Moon Spirit City? "
Tang Yin shook his head. What's the point in going to the Moon Spirit City now?
"In my opinion, you should just stay in the military. With your skills, you'll definitely be able to advance to the next rank. I also have a backer that I can rely on." The young man called Qiu Zhen forced a smile. Although he felt that Tang Yin was a strange person, and his words were strange and incomprehensible, as if there was something wrong with his head, his intuition told him that following Tang Yin would not harm him at all. At the very least, he would be able to survive.
Tang Yin looked at him strangely and said: "You want to follow me?"
Qiu Zhen laughed and nodded, saying, "You can say that. Moreover, since I know your secret, you should be more at ease with me by your side! " He was talking about the matter of Tang Yin being the Spirit Cultivator of the Dark World.
"If I kill you, not only will I be at ease, I will also be at ease." Tang Yin said expressionlessly.
