Chapter 26: The Three Levels of the Human World
"Jingtaizhong, Xu Jinnian is seventy-seven, please unload the armor in the book, but it is not allowed. When the immortals attacked the three passes, it was the old system of the previous dynasty, and he was named the general of the expedition to the sky, and led the troops out of the dragon first pass. After thirty battles, he killed the immortals and died of exhaustion. His son Lang, seeing that the immortals were powerful, led the troops to protect the people and retreated, and after cutting himself off. Kill the immortals, pick up arrows, vomit blood and die several times. In the middle of the night, the rain was pouring and the ridges were moving. Everyone heard the cautious voice, talking about counterattack, counterattack. Crying when I heard it. Suddenly, the cabinet asked for advice, and said that Wu Ning was respectful, and Wu Zhong was the king. Yu Shi said: It is not compatible with the system. On the anger, it is said that the Xu family is loyal to the martyrs, not only loyal to our dynasty, but loyal to the world. All the officials were silent. ”
Closing the book, I carefully understood the meaning of this ancient text.
This book is almost all about the battles between Longshou Mountain and the other world in the past dynasties. And the Xu family, in almost every battle, the head of the family led the troops as the general of the expedition. And in every battle, almost all of them are endless, from the commander to the deputy general, from the flag to the captain, there are tens of millions of people killed.
"Lao Xu, it's almost here. Hans's voice came.
I hurriedly leaned over, and the picture taken by the drone came from the tablet, and I saw the peaks and peaks, and the pavilions and pavilions were faintly visible. The iron lock stretched out of the clouds like a giant dragon, and disappeared into a peak.
Hans pointed to the distance in the upper corner of the slab and said, "I'll go, nineteen hundred kilometers." ”
"Fly closer. I said to Hans.
The image flies towards the peak, and suddenly, a long unidentified object swoops straight towards the drone.
The picture of the drone shakes, and Hans hurriedly adjusts the direction of the drone, and the drone easily maintains its balance, but it no longer dares to move forward.
Hans pursed his lips and did not speak, rewinding the image until it reached the unknown object, and then froze.
It's something like a spear, with a stable feather on the back.
"Arrows from the bed crossbow. Xiao Zeng said.
"Little Joe, brakes. ”
The cable car came to a slow stop with a screeching sound.
I said, "There's an ambush ahead, go down with a man-you-go-your-your-own." ”
Hans was about to carry a single aircraft on his back, but Xiao Zeng said: "I'll lead the team this time, I'm more familiar with the ancient methods of warfare." ”
Hans was about to argue, and I said, "So be it, Hans and I will take the second team, and Little Joe will take the third team." ”
After such a long run-in, this team of more than 100 people has become familiar with each other, and the cooperation has become more and more tacit.
Hans led a team of mercenaries skilled in assassination and reconnaissance.
The team of Hilla Valley troops led by Xiao Zeng has been trained by special forces, and they are all good at fighting, firearms, and explosives.
Xiao Qiao led the largest team, covering heavy fire support teams, mechanical and logistics support teams.
I picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order, and in a short time, more than two dozen individual aircraft rushed out of several cable cars, lined up in battle formation, and swooped down.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of a popping bean gunfire in my headphones, and after a few minutes, the gunfire stopped.
Xiao Zeng's voice came: "It's safe, you can come down." ”
Little Joe started the cable car and we gradually approached the peak.
I saw an attic like an ancient palace gradually approaching, and there were several divine beasts squatting on the roof.
Under the palace is a platform similar to the beacon tower of the Great Wall, and there are also battlements around it, and several huge bed crossbows in front of the battlements are facing the direction of the cable car.
After getting off the cable car, Xiao Zeng smiled and said to us, "We have met the ancients." ”
I didn't laugh, and went to the back of the palace to see that there were several people in ancient armor tied to the ground, all of whom were knocked unconscious. There were two legs and hands that were "doodoo" with blood. Several large knives and spears were scattered on the ground.
I turned to Little Joe, who was organizing the transportation of supplies, and said, "Give them treatment." ”
A few black buddies bandaged them, tied them to a few chairs, and poured water from a water bottle on their heads.
Several people woke up leisurely, saw my face, suddenly became excited, and shouted: "Wuzhong Heavenly King, Wuzhong Heavenly King." ”
My heart moved, and I immediately thought of the story of Xu Jin told in that ancient book.
Waving my hand, I said, "Who are you? What is this place?"
A man who seemed to be the leader said: "Lord Yu, the small one is called Feng Cheng, and he is the captain of the North Heavenly Gate Wing Fire Pier. We are the guards of the North Heavenly Gate, and we are responsible for alerting the barbarians of the Northern Plateau to attack. ”
Through Feng Cheng's explanation, I probably understood the situation in the Eastern Immortal Realm.
This vast territory, more than 10,000 miles long from north to south, and more than 9,000 miles from east to west, is what we call the fairy world.
The fairy world is currently in a state of formal unity, ruled by the East Pole Heavenly King, and there are three Heavenly Kings and four great gods under the seat. There are also ten immortal marshals, and each handsome has more than one million heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.
But decades ago, the Heavenly Kings of the North and South Poles rebelled, and the three immortal marshals responded, so the immortal realm is currently in a period of war.
And because the Arctic Heavenly King borders with the barbarians, he makes an agreement with the barbarians, and the barbarians will send troops to assist the rebels from time to time.
I smiled and said, "Who is the Heavenly King of Wuzhong?"
Feng Cheng was silent, but there was a terrifying look on his face.
I pulled out my bayonet, smiled and gently wiped it on his face.
He trembled and said, "Wuzhong Heavenly King is the master of the three levels of the human realm, and he has hundreds of human realm immortals and tens of thousands of warriors under his command, and he is a strong opponent of the Eastern Pole Heavenly King, and he has saved the battle line of the Eastern Extreme Heavenly King several times. ”
I was startled, but my mind spun rapidly. Are my parents really not dead?
At this time, Xiao Zeng said to me behind him: "I found the map, about a thousand kilometers east from here, which is the three passes of the human world." ”
I sneered and said to Feng Cheng, "How can a small beacon pier have a map of the fairy realm? ”
Feng Cheng's expression changed, and his eyes became sharp. sneered, his hands shook, and the ropes on his body broke inch by inch. Xiao Zeng and Hans Qiao Zhijun and others in the distance hurriedly pointed their guns at him.
I raised my hand to signal them to stop and said, "Look what he says." ”
I saw Feng Cheng's hands spread flat, and his body slowly rose in place bizarrely, until it rose to the height of the eaves.
He took a light stride in the void, stood on the eaves, twisted his neck strangely, and said to me: "You are indeed spies in the human world, and you have not even heard of my name. He laughed.
I watched with interest as the drone silently circled around a meter behind him and stopped, its machine gun aimed at his back. Then he said lightly: "Then who is Your Excellency?"
He looked at me, laughed again, and said, "The descendants of King Wuzhong are interesting. After saying that, he shook his head and said loudly: "I am under the throne of the East Pole Heaven, the god of Jin Ling, the lord of the dragon head, and the general of the slave plunder......"
Before he could finish speaking, I said impatiently, "Don't get killed, I don't like him standing so tall and talking to me." ”
Hans laughed, and the drone fired, and a string of bullets hit him right on the shoulder blade.
After listening to my words, Feng Cheng's face changed, and his right foot kicked on the eaves, but he had already been shot, and rolled down from the eaves with an "ouch" sound, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.
I walked over and put my foot on his face and said, "I wonder if you have ribs?"
He cried out in horror: "I don't, I don't, only the barbarians have." Ah no, I have ribs, but it's useless for you, it's useful for the barbarians. ”
I turned my head to look at Hans, who shrugged at me.
Turning around and smiling at him, I retracted my foot, asked him to sit up, and asked, "Are the three levels of the human world still there?"
He hurriedly said: "It's dripping in dripping, ah no, Longshou City is in our hands, and the other two levels are still controlled by the human realm." ”
It turned out that decades ago, the fairy world went to the human world to be a slave, but the new government did not give it, and it also started a war with the fairy world. The East Pole Heavenly King was furious and ordered Feng Cheng's father, the old Jin Ling Zun God to command a million heavenly troops, attack the three passes, occupy the Dragon Head City, and once captured the Dragon Head Pass, who knew that the new government sent the old opponent of the fairy world, the Xu family's generation of family leaders to lead the troops, entered the fairy world with heavy weapons, recaptured the Dragon Head Pass, and once attacked the Dragon Head City.
At this time, the human world asked for negotiations, and the old Jin Lingzun God resorted to a delaying tactic, and took this opportunity to send troops to attack the human army and won a complete victory. forced the human world to give up the three levels, retreated to the human world, and sealed the enchantment.
However, the army after the dragon head was cut off did not retreat, inflicting heavy casualties on the Celestial Army, and the two sides were at loggerheads.
At this time, the king of the East Pole issued a decree that the war in the south was tightening, and the army of the human realm was released. So the two sides negotiated, keeping the existing border unchanged, and the fairy world no longer attacked the army of the human world and tens of thousands of refugees from the human world, but the seal of Longshou Mountain was not allowed to be lifted, so as not to send reinforcements from the human world. However, the army of the human world wants to help the fairy world quell the rebellion, and the demand put forward by the army of the human world is to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and retain the right of autonomy.
I listened to this story as if I were listening to a book from heaven. After thinking about it, I asked, "This is supposed to be the territory of the Arctic Heavenly King, why are you here?"
He looked at me strangely and said, "We just took this place a few days ago. ”
It turned out that after the army of the human world was out of war, it not only vigorously developed production in the two passes, but also dragged the human slaves of the fairy world to run to the territory of the two passes. Especially after learning that the ribs of the primordial gods of the plateau barbarians can make people become immortals, they actually privately sent troops to occupy the Beitianmen, established this cableway, and then sent a hunting team to hunt the primordial gods.
In this way, in just a few decades, the human army has hundreds of scattered immortals and hundreds of thousands of troops. This made the East Pole Heavenly King* furious, so he secretly sent the Golden Feather Divine God to pretend to be the Arctic Heavenly King's person and seize the North Heavenly Gate. And the Golden Feather Venerable God was sent to sit here.
I listened to the clouds, but Xiao Zeng smiled and nodded.
I shook my head and said to him, "Last question, where is King Wuzhong now?"
His eyes fluttered. I wiped my military boot with a bayonet and said, "Don't lie, this bayonet has been stained with the blood of dozens of primordial gods, and you want it to be stained with your blood?"
He hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." King Wuzhong and Queen of Heaven died decades ago. I was by the side of King Wuzhong at the time. ”
It turned out that my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and my father was negotiating with the old Jin Ling Venerable God at that time, and immediately added a condition that I must be sent back to the human world. Because although the enchantment of Longshou Mountain has been sealed, the immortals can descend to the human realm under the condition of consuming immortal power.
The old Jin Ling Venerable God actually admired my father quite a lot, so he promised to send me back to the human world in person. My father's constant battles after sealing the barrier had actually reached the point where the lamp had run out, but the Eastern Pole Heavenly King still ordered that the price of attaching this condition was to sacrifice my father's life. After my father's death, the East Pole Heavenly King felt my father's loyalty and named him Wuzhong Heavenly King according to the title of the ancestor of the Xu family.
Hearing this, my eyes were already split, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Hans came over and patted me on the shoulder, took my bayonet and stabbed him in the chest.
Xiao Zeng looked at me and said calmly: "Actually, when I received the order to protect you, I knew your identity, and the chief told me that the Xu family is loyal and righteous, and these four words were said by the No. 1 chief himself." ”
I said quietly, "I can't get revenge." ”
Xiao Zeng said: "The military has been studying the enchantment of Longshou Mountain for decades, as long as the seal can be opened, with our current strength, it will be easy to capture the East Pole Heavenly King alive." ”
I said, "Don't think about this for now, pack up and go, leave some people here to hold on, and counterweight weapons, we must find Wang Keke as soon as possible, and then retreat." ”
Due to waiting for logistical supplies, we arrived at Longshou Pass five days later.
The process of entering the Dragon Head Pass was unusually smooth, and the gatekeeper with a big sword and spear looked back at the portrait hanging under the national flag at the pass, and directly threw down his weapon and knelt down to me.
I was greeted by more than a dozen old men with white beards and hair, but wearing green old-fashioned military uniforms, led by an old man named Qin Zhen, who hugged me excitedly when he saw me and said, "The country has not forgotten us, the country has not forgotten us." ”
It wasn't until I entered the two-story red-brick building like in the Hilla Valley and sat down on a wicker chair in the reception room that I said to him and the generals, "I wasn't sent by the state, but the state has been trying to find a way to open the seal." ”
"Actually, I can already see it from the army behind you. His face darkened significantly, and then he became happy again, and said to me, "But after the Xu family has it, we are all ecstatic." ”
When I was hesitating and wondering whether to mention my private affairs among these young people who have been loyal to the border for decades, Qin Zhen said to me with a smile: "You can mention any private matter you have here, we should actually be regarded as the Xu family." ”
It turned out that these people were all members of the special combat team trained by my grandfather and my father, and there were more than 200 of them, and the rest are here.
"All of them died in battle, and not one of them died in bed. Battalion Commander Xu died in order to protect us, and we died in order to save the two levels, and we died as we deserved. An old man said with a firm look in his eyes.
"After the enchantment was sealed, under the leadership of Battalion Commander Xu, we swore to the national flag that we would never give up an inch of the motherland and accumulate strength, and vowed to recapture Longshou City, but until now, our task has not been completed. Qin Zhen said in a low tone.
I looked at him with a heavy heart.
Xiao Zeng, Qiao Zhijun and Hans stood up and solemnly saluted them.
The old men stood up and returned the salute. After Qin Zhen sat down, he continued: "The customs are very safe, you can move freely. I will write a detailed report tonight, and tomorrow I will send troops to escort you back, and at the same time send someone back to report back to the chiefs on the situation here. ”
When I walked into the bar, I couldn't help but smile wryly and shake my head as I looked at the familiar layout of the bar, as well as the fact that the Japanese curtains at the entrance had been replaced by embroidered curtains, the glass bottles on the table had been replaced by clay pots, and the flowers had been replaced by blue wildflowers.
In the afternoon, when I asked Qin Zhen if there was a beautiful strange woman who had recently entered Longshou Pass, the person he sent to investigate gave a reply within half an hour. Said that a beautiful woman did come to Kannai recently, saying that she was a refugee from Dongji City, and opened a bar called Lan Coco in a small alley where birds don't lay eggs in Kannai, and the intelligence department was closely watching.
Sitting on a rough wooden barstool, I took out a cigarette to light it, took a puff before patting the bar and shouting, "Boss, come out to pick up customers." ”
There was the sound of a cup falling to the floor.
After a while, Wang Keke, who was wearing a one-piece apron, walked out of it.
Still the face of the Arctic Circle, the tone of December. She said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
I said, "I'm looking for you." ”
A sudden smile appeared on her face, like a peach blossom blooming in the bright sun of an April day.
