Chapter 504: Hulao Pass, Luck, and Demon Spring
When asking this question, Chen Changfan was still a little nervous.
He was a little afraid that Jiuselu would recall the past events about the Twelve Great Demons and cause mental pollution again. If the other party showed any signs of mental pollution, he would intervene immediately.
Otherwise, he didn't know what kind of changes would happen to the Nine-Colored Deer.
Perhaps it directly attracted the attention of the Twelve Great Demons, or perhaps the Nine-Colored Deer directly lost control and turned into a demon.
Fortunately, the Nine-Colored Deer's condition seemed to be much more stable than before. Its pair of clear eyes blinked, revealing a look of reminiscence.
"I seem to remember what happened eighteen years ago. The essence of that battle was actually a conflict between beasts and witches. Who would have thought that the human kid would gain the greatest advantage? I think those two were almost pissed off..."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Colored Deer.
It seems that both the beast and the witch tribes are not very sensitive.
This sentence may seem ordinary, but it actually contains a lot of information.
If nothing goes as expected, the battle eighteen years ago should have been the Battle of Hulao Pass.
According to his understanding, both the Beast God and the Witch God had participated in this battle, and there was even a possibility that they would fight each other in the future.
What would it be like if a war involving evil gods of this level were to unfold? Chen Changfan couldn't imagine it.
It can be inferred from the words of the Nine-Colored Deer that the Beast God and the Witch God planned and launched this war, but they were not the biggest beneficiaries.
The biggest beneficiary is actually the human race.
Chen Changfan immediately thought of someone.
Emperor Wuqing.
If I remember correctly, eighteen years ago, in the battle of Hulao Pass, Emperor Wuqing personally led an army of 500,000 to resist the army of 100,000 monsters from the mountains, and the witch tribe of southern Xinjiang also participated.
At the beginning of the war, the Wu Dynasty army was defeated. Thanks to Emperor Wu Qing's calmness in the face of danger, he broke through in the battle and successfully broke through the ninth level, entering the "Martial Immortal" level.
Wu Xian's power was unparalleled at the time, and the Wu Dynasty army launched a counterattack, thus turning the tide of the war.
Later, the Wu Dynasty army conquered cities and territories along the way, and drove the demon tribe back to the Shiwan Mountains, killing them almost to extinction.
The Southern Xinjiang Witch Clan was also severely damaged in this battle and dared not advance any further.
After the Battle of Hulao Pass, Emperor Wuqing was feared throughout the world. All the countries in the world knew that there was a "Martial Immortal" in the Wu Dynasty, and no one dared to invade again.
At that time, the Dawu Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse, but Emperor Wuqing managed to make a comeback with this battle. Not only did he achieve a breakthrough in realm and reach the peak of reputation, but his country's prosperity also continued.
Therefore, the "human kid" mentioned by Jiuselu is probably 99% likely to be Emperor Wuqing himself.
Strangely enough, Emperor Wuqing had vanished from the face of the earth after the Battle of Hulao Pass eighteen years earlier, with no further news reported. Everyone said his foundation had been damaged, and his days were numbered.
Anyway, it is said that the current emperor has secluded himself in the deep palace and no longer cares about state affairs. The foundation of the Wu Dynasty is also being shaken bit by bit, and the country's fortune is gradually declining.
The struggle among powerful officials in the court intensified, and local military governors began to stir. The people's lives became increasingly difficult, and public resentment arose.
"Who knows what's going on with Emperor Wu Qing? Maybe he's really dying, or maybe he's plotting something in secret?"
Those who can reach the position of emperor are all intelligent people. It would be too childish to say that he is not scheming.
After all, the complexity of this world is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Not to mention the ever-changing struggle for national destiny, even those evil gods who are watching in secret are not easy to deal with.
"If I were Emperor Wu Qing, I would feel very insecure if I didn't have seven or eight backup plans."
Chen Changfan thought to himself that if Emperor Wuqing was really planning something, then his forbearance and concessions over the years might really be part of a big game.
"I remember..." Jiuselu seemed to remember something again, and his eyes were a little vague.
"I seem to have participated in that battle, along with that fellow Gou Chen, but I was injured later, and Gou Chen disappeared."
Gou Chen?
According to the understanding of later generations, Gou Chen is Qilin, but Jiuselu did not call it that. It is possible that it is different from Qilin.
But no matter what, Gou Chen is also one of the divine beasts, and its status is even not inferior to the four divine beasts.
Gou Chen has disappeared, which shows that the brutality of the battle eighteen years ago was far beyond imagination.
"Deer God, what was the cause of that battle eighteen years ago? Beast...what were those old silver coins fighting for?"
Chen Changfan couldn't help but ask the most crucial question, which was crucial for his subsequent reasoning.
To understand what happened that year, we must first understand the motives of these guys.
The Nine-Colored Deer was silent for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes before he slowly spoke, "I don't know. I only know that it was a battle that had to be fought. The Beast Shamans didn't seem to want to fight, and the Humans didn't want to fight either, but the situation forced them to do so, and it was unavoidable."
Chen Changfan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Oh my god, you seemed to have said it, but you also didn’t say it…
What was the overwhelming force that made it impossible for the two evil gods to avoid it?
"Although I don't know the specific reason, I am certain that it has something to do with luck, and that the greatest luck ultimately fell on that person."
The Nine-Colored Deer seemed to think about this matter often and gave his own guess.
"The flow of luck is related to the rise and fall of heaven and earth. You are also a person with luck. This is why you can collect dragon energy and the remains of the four sacred beasts."
The Nine-Colored Deer affirmed.
Chen Changfan pondered for a moment, "Deer God, I still have some essences of the four sacred beasts here. Can they help you recover your strength?"
The more he learned about it, the more he felt that the Nine-Colored Deer had a very high status. Chen Changfan wanted to help it recover its strength, as it would definitely be useful in the future.
He guessed that perhaps the essence of the divine beast refined by the Zhenqi Ding could be useful, so he spoke generously.
"You should keep that essence for yourself. If I use it, it will cause uncontrollable chaos." Jiuselu's eyes were gentle, and there was a hint of kindness in his eyes as he looked at Chen Changfan.
The Nine-Colored Deer gracefully strode through the water, then gazed at the surrounding scenery with a hint of nostalgia, sighed softly, and said:
"I've been out for too long this time. I'm going back to Zeling. If you call me next time, just chant my name in your heart."
The God of Zeling? The Nine-Colored Deer?
Chen Changfan's mind moved slightly. It seemed that the space where the Nine-Colored Deer lived was called Ze Ling, and the other party's strength was indeed slowly recovering.
After all, before you had to set up a formation to summon the other party, but now you can just chant the name in your heart. This is really high-end.
"Deer God, I have one last question. Do you know the Holy Spring of the Demon Clan?"
Seeing that the Nine-Colored Deer was about to disappear, Chen Changfan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something he had not asked, so he hurriedly spoke.
