What I want to talk about today happened in a very ancient time, which was a completely chaotic world.

It is said that the snow fell in a royal city in the north for three months that year. The emperor was tyrannical and harsh, and the people suffered so much. Even the tragedy of Yizi eating each other within three miles occurred. Later, a flirty person made up a few folk songs for him, saying: "There are all the waters and lands in all directions, but the emperor is waiting for nothing, and the jackals and wolves are so thirsty that they are flesh and blood, and they do not want the people to suffer."

At midnight, the lights in a mansion in the royal city were still dim. In the study, an old man was reading history books at night. It was originally a rare comfort, but was interrupted by an anxious voice suddenly coming from outside the door: "Master, come and see the sky, what's wrong with the sky?"

When the old man heard the apprentice outside the door shouting, he couldn't help but frown. He felt an unknown premonition inexplicably, so he hurriedly got up and pushed the door open. He saw the apprentice in the yard staring at the northwest Gantian in horror.

At this moment, the snow had stopped, and the yard was covered with white snow. Under the moonlight, a strange phenomenon appeared out of thin air in the northwest. A huge strange star appeared in the sky out of thin air. Its star was about half a moon size, shining with a strange halo, and it suddenly became dark and bright. The huge star map of the sky was disrupted by it.

The old man was shocked when he saw this star. The cool breeze blew, and the cold sweat had melted before it had passed. He looked at the star and said to his apprentice: "When did you find it?"

The apprentice replied in horror: "What is the master when I got up and put it on at night?!"

The old man looked straight at the abnormal star. After a while, he sighed: "It's useless to tell you. You can quickly clean up the fines and then notify everyone that we will leave the city and go to seclusion in the mountains in three days!"

"Why should we leave?" the apprentice said to the old man in confusion: "And as a 'Sacrifice of the Heaven', if you leave like this, what should you do if the king blames him?"

The old man sighed and ignored it. He just stared blankly at the star in the sky, and then murmured: "The disaster star appears in the world, a sign of destruction of the country. It is still unknown to save your life now, so how can you covet the salary and title? Good fortune and misfortune are fleeting. Whether it is better, it seems that there will be no more stable life tomorrow."

After saying that, the old man stopped talking, but thoughtful against the disaster star. The wind blew, rolled up the snow in the yard, and dawn was coming.

It is only a few hours before dawn. These few hours are just a flash of scenery for a person's life. For history, these few hours are the last stable time before the opening of another era.

As expected, when the daylight was bright the next day, a team of cavalry in the royal city rushed to the home of Guantian sacrificial Qiao Zimu, and told him that there was something important to tell Qiao Zimu to enter the palace.

The old Qiao Zimu couldn't sleep all night. He sighed, "What should come, finally came." So he instructed his disciples and followed the cavalry into the palace.

It seemed that this morning, something strange happened in the royal city, which alarmed the king, so he quickly summoned him to worship Guantian.

Looking at Wang's pale face with a big belly, Qiao Zimu sighed. He naturally understood that it was caused by the hollowing of his body by wine, so he bowed and asked about the reason.

Wang was also full of horror at the time. After he adjusted the idle people, he told Qiao Zimu the whole story.

It turned out that just when the day was just dawn this morning, a war horse in the Royal Horse Prison suddenly gave birth to a group of freaks, so that Ma Wen risked losing his head to ask the king who was still dreaming in the gentle land.

Wang was furious at the time of sleepiness, but after hearing the report, he was frightened, so he quickly got up and went to the Imperial Horse Prison.

After hearing what the king said, Qiao Zimu had already understood the importance of the matter. Last night, the disaster appeared, and there was indeed a strange sign today. Wang was frightened at that time, and his words were confused and could not explain what the horse had given birth to, so Qiao Zimu followed the king to the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

At this time, the atmosphere of the Royal Horse Supervisor was extremely solemn. Several Ma Wen and Xiao Si had already knelt in front of a horse shed and kept trembling. Before Qiao Zi's eyes could approach, he could smell a faint smell of blood.

At the same time, a baby cries came from the horse shed.

Everyone present had pale faces, including the king, trembling. So after Qiao Zimin got permission, he walked towards the horse shed alone.

As soon as he entered the horse tent, the scene in front of him was already shocked and sweating.

The dead grass all over the horse shed was now covered with bright red plasma amniotic fluid. The mare that was produced had fallen to the ground and its lower body was covered with blood, obviously because of the difficulty of blood loss.

However, the strangest thing is that next to the corpse, a little foal that had just taken off her seborrhea was kneeling in a pool of blood with his back to Qiao Zimu, trembling constantly, and actually made a baby laugh.

He plucked up his courage to step forward, and the foal suddenly turned around at this moment. Qiao Zimu almost exclaimed, and saw that the foal covered with amniotic fluid had a human face!

The human face and horse body, the broken hair on the top of the head was stained with blood, the facial features were lifelike, and there was actually a slow stubble under the nose as big as garlic.

This is really a strange thing that has never been seen in the ages.

Even though the Guantian priest Qiao Zimu was proficient in the metaphysics of the supernatural arts, this scene made him so shocked that he couldn't speak. At this moment, the monster suddenly trembled and opened his big mouth, revealing two neat rows of teeth, and laughed at Qiao Zimu and said, "Don't panic, don't bother, the energy has arrived, the north is dead, the south is rising, and it is inevitable to escape!"

The freak's voice was as crisp as a baby, but for Qiao Zimu, it was undoubtedly a Sanskrit sound. He had no words, but just slowly retreated out of the horse shed, leaving only the human-faced foal that kept laughing strangely.

After he left the horse tent, sweat had already soaked his inner collar. When the king saw that he had come out, he hurriedly summoned him to him. The king opened his mouth and asked what the monster was.

Qiao Zimu looked around, and after Wang evacuated the idle people, he gritted his teeth and said to the king: "This monster is called 'Rushi'. It is...an unknown sign."

It turns out that this monster with human face and beast body is the legendary monster named "Rushi".

According to legend, "Rushi" will be reborn in the human world in troubled times. This monster has no ability to hurt people, but has a terrifying ability. It is said that the changes of dynasties in the world are determined by heaven, and this "Rushi" is the messenger of heaven. When he appears in the human world, he will die in one day, and a shocking prophecy will be revealed in a short time before his death.

Qiao Zimu didn't dare to hide it at this time, so he told the king everything he knew. He told the king that this monster would die after three prophecies today, but his predictions were extremely accurate, and I'm afraid that the involvement of the king would be insured.

After hearing Qiao Ziyu's words, the king was extremely shocked. You should know that this kind of rebellious words is a crime of killing. However, Qiao Zimu is not a fool. He knew that if he had any mistakes at this time, his head would fall to the ground, so he decided to block it and bet whether the king trusted him.

Sure enough, the cowardly Wang panicked. After a while, Wang, who came to his senses, said to Qiao Zimu in a serious tone: "This is not just a matter of losing your head by yourself, you should understand."

Qiao Zimu hurriedly knelt down and made a poisonous oath to prove that he was right. Seeing that his expression was not like he was talking nonsense, he also understood that Qiao Zimu was indeed capable, so he asked him in a low voice: "Okay, let me ask you, is there any way to crack this evil word?"

Qiao Zimu was as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and reported it truthfully in a hurry.

It turns out that when this demon appears in the world, he must be a twin. The first person who came to the world is called "Rushi", which is a human-headed and beast body. The prophecy reported by Rushi is only half of the secret of heaven.

After the death of "Rushi", a demon outside will also come to the world within a radius of ten miles. The demon is called "What he said" and should be the human body of a beast head. It will tell the remaining half of the prophecy.

The prophecy will not begin to be realized after the death of the "what said" and this is also the origin of the sentence "what said".

Qiao Zimu told Wang his opinion. He said that the prophecy has just begun to appear, but only half of it, so there is still a chance, if...

Wang asked hurriedly: "What if?"

Qiao Zimu lowered his head and said, "If he could kill the 'what said' before the 'that' came to life, perhaps the country would be endless."

After saying this, Qiao Zimu's heart beat wildly. This was just his guess and his only chance to save his life.

After hearing this, the king was thinking, and saw a trace of murderous intent in his turbid eyes. He said to Qiao Zimu: "What do you mean..."

"I dared to be brave. Now the only way is to take advantage of this demon's appearance and kill all the things to be produced near the royal city, some animals, or people." Qiao Zimu trembled all over and said trembling.

As soon as these words were said, Wang was shocked. He naturally understood how much the price it would cost, but he did not hesitate at all.

Yes, in the face of one's own power, it is obvious that such sacrifice is worth it.

So, after a while, Wang said to Qiao Zimu in a low voice: "Then you must do this matter well and you cannot leak any rumors."

"I will definitely be heartbroken!" Qiao Zimu replied tremblingly.

That day, when the people in the city just woke up, they naturally did not know the changes that had occurred in the royal city and the strong malice that was quickly brewing from greed.

That day, a group of horse-raising grooms and palace maids and guards were executed in the royal city. The sun rose up, and the bloody aura attracted the crows to fall on the snow. The scene of the crow's eyes seemed to be full of curiosity.

The snow stopped, the wind did not stop. The dark clouds slowly floated, but they could not cover the murderous intention. Smokes of cooking were rising from the people's homes. Their lives were still difficult and peaceful. The king's army had begun to gather. The horse's hooves stepped across the snow and started to startle crows that pecked at the blood and ate the flesh. The crows flew up and croaked.

The crow flew over the imperial city, and a feather fell like black paint. The king on the city wall was wearing a ferret cloak and was picking up a glass of wine to look down at all these scenes with the crow. An unknown and cruel historical story quietly kicked off.
