Legend of the Holy Light (1)

Jing Yang felt the sway of the wheels rolling, and before he opened his eyes, he knew that he must be in a carriage now. When I opened my eyes, it was true. It’s just that this is not an ancient Eastern carriage, but a Western classical carriage with glass windows.

He looked out the window, there were soldiers on horses outside, looking at the clothes and appearance of those soldiers, this should be a place similar to the ancient Western European continent.

Looking down at himself again, he was wearing an old, simple white robe that could no longer be simple, in stark contrast to this fairly high-end carriage.

After looking at the scenery outside the window for a while, Jing Yang changed a comfortable position and leaned on the back of the chair, closing his eyes to activate the memory inheritance function.

This is a world where humans and demons coexist, called the Continent of Saibiou. On this continent, there has always been a legend about the Holy Light.

Demons are ferocious and cruel, and they are a very big threat to human beings. Thousands of years ago, when human beings were almost wiped out by the demons, suddenly one day, it rained for three consecutive months on the entire continent. .

After the heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a beam of light fell in the sky, causing all the monsters in the human race to disappear.

After the beam of light disappeared, a flowing spring suddenly appeared. Humans built a temple under the beam of light. All newborn children will be baptized and blessed in the temple, hoping to be protected by the Holy Light. A miraculous thing happened again. Some of the children who had been washed with spring water grew up with the power of holy light that could purify magic. Since then, the human race finally has the power to compete with the demon race.

With thousands of years of change and development, human beings have gradually grown, established human empires, and have soldiers and horses that can fight against demons.

The person Jing Yang replaced this time was called Graner Xiwei. His grandfather was the elder of the temple, and the person who was respected as a saint was respected by the royal family and the people. His grandfather not only possessed the powerful power of the Holy Light, but also divination.

One day twenty years ago, Xi Wei’s grandfather foresaw that a soul with strong demonic spirit was born into the human world, which would bring great disaster to the world.

The royal family and the temples of the whole empire searched hard for it. After five years of searching, the child was finally found. The emperor ordered the child to be killed. Xi Wei’s grandfather interceded for the child, saying that he couldn’t force the sin that had not happened on a child. He hoped to bring the child back to the temple to purify the devilish energy in him and make him a man. normal human.

The child’s name was Kania, he was twelve years old in the temple, and when the demonic energy in him was about to disappear, he suddenly disappeared. Xi Wei’s grandfather and the emperor have sent people to look for him, but no trace of him can be found.

In a battle between the human race and the demon race, the eldest prince, Ored, who is known as the imperial god of war, was injured when he fought against the demon king. The powerful demonic energy invaded his body, causing his physical and mental strength to suffer. severe trauma.

Xi Wei’s grandfather rushed to the border to clear the eldest prince’s demonic energy. The demons took the opportunity to send troops to attack in succession. The eldest prince fought with his body. Sudden death. The eldest prince, who lost the assistance of the power of the Holy Light, suffered the first defeat in his life.

The second prince, who escorted Xiwei’s grandfather, led the soldiers to defeat the demons after the eldest prince was unable to continue the fight, causing the demons to retreat.

The biggest reason why the Second Prince was able to defeat the Demon Race was that there was a person with a very powerful Holy Light around him, and that person was Kanya who had been missing for three years.

The Holy Light of Kania can repel all powerful demons, and even the demon king is afraid of his power, so the demons retreated, and they were willing to sign a peace agreement with the human race to never invade each other.

The second prince and Kania became the heroes of the empire, and they returned to the imperial capital with the joy of the people.

Kania explained to the emperor his whereabouts in the past few years, and explained the reasons for his escape from the temple. He said that there was no demonic energy in his body at all, but a very powerful power of holy light. It was said that Xi Wei’s grandfather imprisoned him in the temple because he was worried that his powerful power of the Holy Light would be discovered by others and would affect his status.

The second prince confirmed Kania’s words, and said that it was with his help that Kania escaped from the temple, and he also protected Kania from being discovered in recent years.

Kanya also said that the power of the Holy Light of Xi Wei’s grandfather was not as good as before, because he found out the secret that he was being attacked by demonic energy, and Xi Wei’s grandfather wanted to kill him to silence him, so he ran away. The sudden death of Xiwei’s grandfather on the battlefield is the best proof.

After the death of Xi Wei’s grandfather, the one with the most powerful holy light in the empire was Kanya. So after they returned to the imperial capital, with the support of the supporters of the second prince, Kania successfully entered the temple and became the saint in charge of the temple.

As for Xi Wei and his parents, because of the mistakes of his grandfather, the second prince suggested to the emperor to execute them. Seeing that Xi Wei’s grandfather had served the empire and the royal family for so many years, the emperor did not execute them, but sent them to a small remote temple to be imprisoned.

Five years have passed, and the emperor who has been in poor health has become weaker and weaker. The eldest prince has been purified in the temple of the imperial capital because he was invaded by a very domineering demonic energy. Before the demonic energy completely disappeared, he could not get out of the holy place. temple. The second prince gradually took over the affairs of the state, with more and more supporters, and he was likely to replace the eldest prince and become the heir to the imperial throne.

Humans and Demons have been living together peacefully for five years, and more and more people believe that as long as the Second Prince and Kanya are there, the Humans and Demons will not fight again, and they will no longer have to be afraid and face wars against their relatives. Pain of death.

The Demon King made a request to the Emperor of the Human Race. In order to show the sincerity of human beings who want to live peacefully with the Demon Race, they will send one of the demon beasts in the town hall to the Imperial Capital of the Human Empire. The human beings of the power sacrifice to the beasts, that is, they are eaten by the beasts.

As soon as this request was made, some of the officials opposed it and some agreed, and those who agreed were all from the Second Prince’s faction. They thought that it was worthwhile to save the peace of the people of the whole empire for a year with one person’s life.

After a period of debate, it was finally decided that using those guilty people to sacrifice beasts is the best of both worlds. Kania strongly requested that the grandson of the former saint be the first sacrificer.

Xiwei and his parents were sent to a remote temple to be imprisoned, and they were bullied by the worshipers of Kania. Xiwei’s parents suffered a lot in order to protect him. A year ago, they both died of illness. Now, Xi Wei is being escorted back to the imperial capital by the people of the second prince.

The reason why he was escorted by a fairly good carriage was because the emperor learned about this when he was sober, and said that since he was about to be sacrificed, no one was allowed to embarrass him or treat him badly until he was sacrificed. took him.

Jing Yang knows that what he knows now is just covering up the real superficial situation, so what is the real situation?

The now well-respected Kanya actually has no power of the Holy Light at all. The reason why he can destroy any powerful monsters is because he made a contract with the Demon King. All of this is a conspiracy between him and the Demon King.

After being brought back to the temple of the imperial capital by grandfather Xiwei, Kanya lived a much better life than before, but the good life made him even more dissatisfied, even if the demonic energy in his body was gradually purified, It can’t change the twist in his bones.

It was indeed the second prince who took Kanya out of the temple, but in the years when he disappeared, the second prince did not know where he was at all, because he had been with the devil all the time.

Kanya went to the Demon Race and was hidden by the Demon King. Together, they created a plan to completely destroy humanity.

Cartier fell in love with the Demon King in the Demon Race. They were lovers, but after returning to the Human Race, he had a relationship with the second prince and became a lover.

In the previous life, Cartier helped the second prince get the throne, but the demonic energy in his body accelerated the death of the second prince. Then he helped the Demon King destroy the human race, and lived happily with the Demon King, exchanging the time of his life for his youthful appearance. Between the two lovers, he can be regarded as complete.

Jing Yang opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. This is the story of the farmer and the snake. Xi Wei’s grandfather was the farmer, thinking that it was a life after all, and he could save it if he could. And Kania was the poisonous snake, who used his poisonous teeth to bite hard on the person who tried to save him.

That’s why it is said that good people can’t be taken carelessly. It’s very important to see clearly the quality of the person you want to save.

The carriage entered the palace directly, and the emperor rarely woke up. Hearing that he had arrived in the imperial capital, he wanted to see him.

Seeing the old emperor who looked like dead wood, Jing Yang knew that he was under the influence of Kanya’s demonic energy, and he was afraid that he would not live long. Under such circumstances, he had to drag his weak body to see Xi Wei, of course, there was a reason.

Before Xi Wei was born, there had never been a person in the empire who could match the power of the Holy Light to Xi Wei’s grandfather. The emperor and Xi Wei’s grandfather were worried that there would be no successor to the temple. After Xi Wei was born, his grandfather found out that he had a very strong power of holy light in his body, but in order to let him grow up safely, his grandfather temporarily sealed his power of holy light.

Until Kanya escaped from the temple and couldn’t find it no matter how he looked, Xi Wei’s grandfather had a hunch that things would develop in a bad direction. He told the emperor that his grandson had the power of the Holy Light and that if a miracle happened one day, he would be the one who could save mankind.

The emperor sent Xi Wei and his parents to a remote temple to be imprisoned. In fact, it was also a form of protection, but things had developed to this point. He was less and less awake, and things were less and less out of his control. Taking Xi Wei back to the imperial capital was the only hope, but the emperor did not know whether the miracle that Xi Wei’s grandfather had mentioned had come.

At the top left of the main hall, originally supposed to belong to only the first prince, now stood the second prince and Kania. Kania was wearing a white holy robe made of the highest quality fabric, with wide sleeves, a floor-sweeping back hem, and gold embroidery. Such a holy robe doesn’t match his calamitous face, but he still looks noble and holy, which makes Jing Yang feel very awkward.

“You, do you know why I brought you back?” the emperor asked in an old and hoarse voice.

“I know.” Jing Yang replied calmly.

The emperor squinted his eyes with loose eyelids and carefully observed Jing Yang’s expression “For your grandfather’s sake, you can make a request.”

“I want to go back to the place where I used to live. I haven’t been back to the imperial capital for many years. I hope Your Majesty can allow me to live another ten days.” Jing Yang said.

“…Is this your request?” The emperor was a little disappointed.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The

emperor was silent for a while, suppressing the urgency and helplessness in his heart, and agreed, “Okay, I will satisfy your request.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Jing Yang respectfully saluted, and then exited the hall.

Jing Yang wanted to go back to the place where Xi Wei used to live, of course, not to be nostalgic, it wasn’t him who lived there before, he had nothing to miss. He went there to get something very important.

All the items in Xiwei’s previous home were swept away, and all the valuables belonged to Kanya.

Soldier Jing Yang waited outside the door and entered Xi Wei’s room alone. This room was already full of thick dust. Although the furniture was not damaged, it was already very old.

Jing Yang pulled out a dusty black cloak from under the bed. He came to get this cloak. This seemingly ordinary cloak was actually an invisibility cloak.

After patting the dust on the cloak, Jing Yang walked out with the cloak and said to the soldiers outside the door, “This is an old cloak of my father. I want to take him with me as a last memory, okay?”

After going to the palace, the soldiers who watched Yajingyang became the emperor’s personal guards, and they naturally wouldn’t embarrass Jingyang. In their eyes, it was just a shabby cloak. He wanted to use it to miss his father. There was nothing wrong with it. They could agree to this without even asking for instructions.

Jing Yang asked the emperor to live for another ten days, and the emperor even allowed him to live in the temple and gave him a decent treatment.
