Turn Your Body into a Sword

The snow in Mobei is holding 300,000 unburied corpses. Those who survived said that at the end of the battle, what fell from the sky was not snow, but ashes. In the third month after Emperor Xuanwu returned to the imperial capital, the conscription order was issued to Youzhou again, and three horses in the station ran to death. There is an old saying circulating in Kyushu: There are nine ways in the sky and nine states on the earth, but there is only one way above the nine states - climb up or die. The bronze bell on the palace wall, which was cast during the founding of the People's Republic of China, has been ringing for a full hundred years, and a crack has appeared in the bell. The nine state capitals were each calculating their own accounts, and the four major sects looked at the Imperial Capital coldly. The snow in the deepest part of the Tianling Mountains melted earlier this year than in previous years. No one paid any attention to this. But some things will happen without people paying attention. In the northernmost part of the empire, in a small town against the Tianling Mountains, before dawn, a widow was sitting under the lamp mending her net. Today, she will pick up a child on the ice lake - a child who has been soaked in the ice water all night, but whose heartbeat has never stopped.
