Chapter 10: On the Life and Death Stele

The group headed toward the Life and Death Shrine with feelings of trepidation and excitement.

The Life and Death Shrine here was already completely dilapidated, and one could only make out some of its outlines.

Liu Chengchao and the others arrived at the Life and Death Shrine, Wang Jiao's face maintaining a smile throughout.

"The scale of this Life and Death Shrine is not large."

"Correct." Liu Chengchao nodded.

The Life and Death Shrine before their eyes was not even one-tenth the size of the Life and Death Shrine in Taiyuan City.

It was, in fact, even smaller.

"During the Dafeng period, this was, after all, a border village; it cannot be compared to Taiyuan City."

Liu Chengchao continued.

The Life and Death Shrine here was less of a shrine and more of a crude cave.

This cave had already been processed, and generally speaking, there was no danger.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Expectation filled Wang Jiao's eyes.

In the livestream room, the popularity also surged abruptly.

"Whose Life and Death Shrine is this?"

"Not just anyone can have a Life and Death Shrine built for them.

Generally, those who can have a Life and Death Shrine built are great figures who have left their names in history.

Cangxi City has never had any great figures since ancient times."

In the livestream room, those history enthusiasts still occupied the mainstream.

Regarding the Life and Death Shrine, after a little popular science, everyone in the livestream room knew about it.

"Could it be Heize's?"

"I don't think so; it's not even certain if Heize existed."

In front of the screens in the livestream room, some stone carvings and murals appeared before everyone.

Liu Chengchao, meanwhile, furrowed his brows.

The murals here had undergone special treatment, preserving them for over a thousand years.

However, the special treatment technique was not very good, so the murals and the characters on the stone carvings were not very clear.

But they could barely be made out.

At this moment, the first thing that came into view was a massive stone carving.

On it, quite a few characters were also carved.

"Old Liu, is this the Life and Death Stele?" Wang Jiao's face carried excitement.

The Life and Death Stele was a very important part of a Life and Death Shrine.

It recorded the life, or rather the achievements, of the owner of the Life and Death Shrine.

Liu Chengchao looked over, and a glimmer of brilliance suddenly flashed in his aged eyes.

On the Life and Death Stele, he was shocked to see the two characters for Heize.

As it turned out, in the most conspicuous place on the Life and Death Stele, there were eight large characters.

"Holding off ten thousand alone, Spear God Heize!"

The livestream room naturally saw these eight characters as well.

Everyone was incomparably shocked.

"Spear God?"

"Heize really existed, and it seems he has a certain connection to the Gun King Liu Tou."

"In the Dafeng period, to be called a Spear God, this kind of strength must be extremely formidable!"

"Holding off ten thousand alone—was the Wolf Guard really wiped out by Heize?"

"The destruction of the Wolf Tribe is indeed related to Heize!"

"Exaggerated rhetorical devices must have been used here! Holding off ten thousand alone does not exist!"

"This is very exaggerated; there are only a few people in history who have the reputation of holding off ten thousand, and all of them are renowned far and wide."

"Heize actually existed... Ah!

This cameraman, stop pointing the lens at the female host's chest; there are no chicken legs now, we want to see the Life and Death Stele!"

Wang Jiao was wearing a low-cut professional black dress; she had a great figure, and with her bending motion, her chest appeared even more voluptuous and full.

At this moment, she looked at the Life and Death Stele: "Old Liu, what text is written below?"

Like her, a host's understanding of history and ancient characters was naturally inferior to an expert like Liu Chengchao.

"In the year 2002, Heize was born by the river."

Translating the characters on the Life and Death Stele, Liu Chengchao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately began to understand.

The characters on this were all very colloquial and lacked literary grace.

After all, this was likely a border village, and few proper scholars ever came here.

"Heize possessed Natural Divine Strength, with enough power to uproot mountains, and took the Gun King Liu Tou as his master.

The Wolf Tribe invaded Dafeng, encroaching upon Anping Village; Heize killed dozens single-handedly, truly a divine man.

Later, the Wolf Guard gathered ten thousand elite troops, passing through Anping to enter Dafeng.

Heize appeared alone, held off the ten thousand, and wiped them out.

Mountains crumbled and the earth split, a sea of blood churned, and the Wolf Guard was annihilated."

There were not many characters above, and most were in plain language.

And as Liu Chengchao looked at the words above, the expression on his face became profound and horrified.

"Is this Heize really the general who wiped out the Wolf Guard?" Wang Jiao asked in astonishment.

It really was Heize!

In history, Heize truly existed!

In her mind, the image of a general in fluttering white robes immediately appeared.

This general, leading many soldiers, fought a battle here against the Wolf Guard.

Utilizing the timing and the terrain, Heize ultimately wiped out the Wolf Guard right here!

Liu Chengchao was also filled with inexplicable emotion.

Although many people in their discussions mentioned that Heize was a general who led troops to wipe out the Wolf Guard.

Regarding this conjecture, Liu Chengchao intuitively felt it was possible, but rationally felt it was impossible.

Wiping out the Wolf Guard, and a Wolf Guard of over ten thousand at that.

Such a war, placed in ancient history.

Regardless of the number of soldiers, just in terms of combat power and influence, it would be enough to rank in the top ten of ancient war history.

"It seems history has really played a joke on us.

There really was a general named Heize, and he even wiped out the Wolf Guard, establishing an unparalleled achievement!"

"Why did he not appear in the history books? Could it be that Heize slept with the Emperor's mother?"

"Did you not see? Heize was also a disciple of Liu Xiu, and the crown prince at the time was as well. I suspect there really is such a possibility?"

"You all overlooked one sentence: Heize appeared alone, blocking ten thousand by himself. The Life and Death Stele clearly records that it was Heize who appeared and defeated the Wolf Guard single-handedly."

"Brother, have you been watching too many Mythical dramas?"

"Even the recently released movie Hero isn't this absurd!"

"The ancients always liked to exaggerate; otherwise, there wouldn't be the emergence of Mythical stories.

In every aspect, whether it is civilization, culture, or people's physical fitness, the modern era crushes the ancient era."

"Heize fighting ten thousand Wolf Guard alone?

Even movies wouldn't dare to write it like that!

If Heize could defeat one hundred Wolf Guard, I would eat the shit you all have taken."

"Trying to trick us into feeding you again!"
