The Seven Clans of the Fantasy Trilogy

The imperial city, the capital of the human race, finally settled down for a while, after the third prince Tianrui pacified the disasters in all directions.After the flood and plague subsided, the third prince left the imperial city to seek help from the other six clans.During this period of time, the human race was very stable, and so was the capital and imperial city.

But this kind of stability only lasted for a short time, and then began to be full of crises again.

The changes in the imperial city did not attract everyone's attention at the beginning, because it was just that the east family lost chickens, the west family lost geese, that family's dog disappeared, and this family's duck disappeared.Everyone didn't take it seriously, it wasn't something expensive, it was just some livestock and poultry, so no one cared.

But later, the situation changed completely, because these livestock and poultry became less and less, and some people had no chickens, ducks, geese and dogs left in their homes, so more and more people reported to the government.

Elder Sicheng in the imperial city was also at a loss what to do, he couldn't report such a thing to the king, could he?But what happened next, he had to report it.

After the small poultry and livestock in the houses of the people in the imperial city disappeared, the big ones gradually began to decrease again, first pigs and sheep, then mules, horses and cattle.

People in the entire imperial city were in panic. Everyone said that there was a demon who specially ate animals in the imperial city. When it ate up all the animals, he would eat people.

As a result, the doors of every house were closed at night, and no one dared to leave the house, even the soldiers on night patrol dared not leave the camp.The whole imperial city became a ghost town.

In the end, Elder Sicheng reported the matter to the king. When the king heard about it, he was shocked, and so were all the officials.

Elder Sicheng said: "Almost all the mansions of the adults are around the palace, so the adults don't know what happened in the imperial city recently. This is really hard for the common people. Their lives are no longer guaranteed."

The young priest looked at Elder Sicheng and said angrily: "Elder Sicheng, do you mean that we officials who live around the palace do not do anything? It means that there are fewer animals in the people's homes. Do you want the ministers to put down their work and start working?" To help them find livestock?"

The high priest smiled and said: "Young priest, why are you so angry? Originally, this is our negligence. If we usually go to the people more often, things like today will not happen. But, since it happened, then we all We should all work together to make this happen.”

The King of People said: "The high priest is right. This is not a small matter. If this continues, maybe even people will disappear in the end, so you must find out the reason as soon as possible. High priest, you cooperate Elder Sicheng, let's deal with this matter!"

After receiving the decree, the high priest and the elders of the city began to get busy. They took people to look around, but four or five days later, they still found nothing.Wherever they stay, there will be no problems, but there are still few other places.

The high priest was very anxious. He felt that this invisible opponent was definitely not human, but he really couldn't find it.

Early in the morning, the high priest and the elder Sicheng led everyone to patrol around. Suddenly, a middle-aged man ran towards them from a distance, and there were many villagers behind him.The man's hair was loose, his face was pale, and his hands were waving in the air.

The high priest had someone hold him down, and he was still yelling, saying "monster...monster".

The high priest held his shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's daytime and there is nothing. I am the high priest. Be quiet, be quiet."

The man panted, looked at the high priest, and at the people around him, then slowly relaxed, slumped on the ground, and then burst into tears.

After he had cried enough, the high priest asked, "Little brother, can you tell us what you saw?"

The man held the high priest's hand and said: "High priest, there are really monsters in our imperial city, I saw it, I saw it."

The high priest hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! I know you saw it. Tell us about the monster you saw!"

The man swallowed, gasped and said: "I can be said to be the most daring in our Chengnan village. My poultry and livestock are almost gone, and only one big cow for farming is left. The cow in my family is unmatched in the whole Chengnan Village. So, I am very worried, I am afraid that it will disappear again. So..."

The man swallowed again, and the high priest hurriedly said, "Get him a bowl of water quickly, let him drink first and then continue talking."

The man drank the bowl of water brought by the soldier in one gulp, then wiped his mouth, and continued, "Last night, I had a quarrel with my wife, and she said that if the big cow in our family disappears, I can't live through this day. At that time, I was so angry. What she meant was that I let the things in the house disappear. I moved to the cowshed in a fit of anger. I want to guard my cows. See See exactly what is coming to harm people every day.

"It turned out that in the middle of the night, there was a sudden gust of wind. I thought it was a wind blowing from God, but suddenly I felt like there was a big thing in front of me. I opened my eyes and saw, oh my god, my cow was bitten by a monster The neck, it didn't make a sound, just let it bite like that. I looked through the moonlight, my lord! Do you know what I saw? It was a monster, a huge monster, it had the body of a cow, but It had the face of a man, with four horns on its head, and the ears of a pig.

"I looked at it, and my pants were all wet. It actually put down my cow, then smiled at me, and barked twice, but the sound was clearly the cry of a wild goose, and then it picked up my cow again. Cow, a gust of wind disappeared, and I was so scared that I passed out. When I woke up, I realized that I was going crazy."

After saying this in one breath, he burst into tears again.The onlookers all turned pale with fright, and they chattered in one go.

The high priest hastily comforted him a few more words, and sent someone to send him back home.

The high priest looked at the people around and said with a smile: "Folks, it's all right, that little brother may be blinded, it's not sure! Everyone go back first! We will definitely find out. I will definitely give you an explanation."

After the villagers left, they also returned to the temporary office. The high priest looked at Elder Sicheng solemnly, but Elder Sicheng didn't dare to say a word.

The high priest asked: "Elder Sicheng, what do you think is this?"

Elder Sicheng took a deep breath and said, "High Priest, I... I dare not say it."

The high priest said softly, "Speak! See if what you say is the same as what I thought."

Elder Sicheng whispered, "It's Zhu Huai."

The high priest stared at the elder Sicheng, and said seriously: "Yes, it is it. Didn't it die out in ancient times? Why did it appear in the imperial city of our human race?"

Elder Sicheng said in horror: "It is the mount of Chi You, the leader of the battle of the gods! Didn't Chi You die tens of thousands of years ago? Why did his mount appear in our imperial city?"

The high priest looked around hurriedly, and said in a low voice: "Elder Sicheng, you know this matter, you and I know it, you are not allowed to tell anyone, including the king, after we have thoroughly investigated it, we will report it to the king, so as not to cause riots .”

Elder Sicheng nodded vigorously.
