Chapter 60: Above the Valley
The wind was rolling, the yellow sand was all over the sky, and the blood stained the earth red. The blood-red earth and the dazzling firelight reflected the sky red, and the cries and roars came and went, and the whistling rockets dragged long rays of light through the darkness.
At this moment, the Central Plains army was in a fierce battle with the Heavenly God Kingdom.
The butchers of the Celestial Kingdom swarmed up like a storm, brandishing their broadswords and maces, and one fell, and the other went up.
A soldier was hit by dozens of arrows, and at the last moment of his fall, he chanted the slogan: "God bless! God bless! Believe in God and get the happiness of eternal life! Those who do not believe in God will be punished!"
Liku manipulated the divine realm, gliding away in the sky with the red tassel, looking at the accumulated corpses and discarded chariots on the battlefield, it was really a hell of slaughter on earth.
He stretched out his sleeve to wipe the tears from the sweat on his forehead, and shouted: "It's miserable! Don't kill people! Don't kill people!"
Seeing this miserable scene, Hongying couldn't help but feel a tight throbbing pain in her heart, and sighed: "Why is there such a great hatred between people?"
Li Ku turned his head and looked at the sky, screaming loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had experienced in his life. I only heard him shout: "Heavenly Demon~!Is this the result you want to see?"
At this time, a deep voice came from behind him: "You little monk is too benevolent to a woman, if you want to save people, you have to kill the wicked, and to promote good, you must first suppress evil, and on the battlefield, you have to rely on your fists!"
This man was none other than Rahu.
Rahu yelled: "Everyone come with me quickly!"
In an instant, a roar like a huge thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the army of asuras, like evil tigers and wolves, swept in.
At the same time, Pan'er was standing on the top of the valley, looking down on this fierce battlefield with all the soldiers. In the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, a flame of revenge ignited one after another, and they were eager to rush down immediately and kill all the butchers of the Heavenly God Kingdom.
Pan'er only looked anxious, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, let's quickly join the battle and fight back together with the Central Plains army!"
The king frowned, and was about to give the order, when suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and the strange black-robed man appeared behind the king again.
When she landed, Pan'er only felt that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she couldn't help but look intently, only to see the black-robed man glance at her slightly, and the pair of dead-like eyes shot out a cold light, and then he leaned into the king's ear and whispered.
Pan'er couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart: "Who is this person? Why don't I feel like a human? More like ...... It's more like ......" Pan'er looked at this person, and couldn't help but think of demons in her heart.
The black-robed man lowered his head and said in a low ear: "Your Majesty, let's not act rashly. ”
The king watched the battle worriedly, and wondered, "Why is this......?"
The black-robed man smiled and said in a low voice, "This is the most beneficial for our Western Regions Country. We stand on top of the valley, watch the changes, and preserve our strength. This valley is easy to defend and not easy to attack, and the Heavenly God Kingdom can't attack it at all for a while. ”
The king was stunned and couldn't help but look down. Outside this valley, he has indeed repeatedly surveyed, the cliffs here are steep, the mountain roads are twists and turns, the roads are narrow, and the rocks are unclimbable. If the king had held on to the valley without moving, he would not have been able to attack either the horses or the furious butchers, except for the empty yakshas.
The king hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Shall we just watch them fight?"
The black-robed man smiled slightly and said, "When the battle is decided, we will go down to lock in the victory and kill them all." ”
The king couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and said in a panic: "How can our Western Regions do such a villain act?"
At this time, Pan'er watched them muttering from the sidelines, and the more she looked at them, the more strange and weird she felt, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please give the order to send troops quickly!"
But seeing the king's hesitation, at that moment, his heart became hesitant, he looked down at the tense battlefield again, paused, and said, "Wait a little longer......
Pan'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What are you waiting for? This battlefield is changing rapidly, the more strength you have, the more chance you have to win!"
The king stiffened his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Girl, you really don't understand this battle, we need to deploy ......"
Pan'er was stunned, and her heart was cold for a while, and she understood that the king wanted to stand aside and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The black-robed man's dark eyes flickered, and he continued: "Your Majesty, think about it, these soldiers are our family, and they must not be sacrificed in vain. If you keep more strength, you will have more bargaining chips. ”
The king said suspiciously, "What bargaining chips?"
The black-robed man said: "Have you ever thought that if you are wiped out, even if you repel the Heavenly God Kingdom, what will we talk to the people of the Central Plains, and what will we rely on to restore the country? Will everything in this Western Regions Kingdom still belong to you? Will this throne still belong to you? It is better to wait until they are all gone, and it will not be too late for us to go down and clean up the mess......
At this moment, I saw the king's general walking over quickly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, our soldiers are ready to go, waiting for your order at any time, rush down and destroy his Heavenly God Kingdom!"
But seeing that the king narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "What are you anxious about, tell all the soldiers to stay in place and no one is allowed to move!"
The general didn't know why, and now that the fighter plane was fleeting, he only felt that everything was burning, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the fighter plane cannot be delayed, and the morale of the army cannot be hit." He looked down the mountain and said loudly: "Now is the best time to fight the Central Plains people in one go!"
The king's face sank, and he frowned: "General, may I ask if you are the king or am I the king?"
The general was stunned, sweating profusely, knelt down on one knee and said: "You are the king!
The king glanced at him, nodded, and said with a straight face: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to move, and those who go out to fight without permission will be beheaded immediately!"
The general wiped his sweat, anxious and confused, but he had no choice but to say, "Yes!"
Thousands of troops and horses were roaring, running, fighting, and the crowd of people rushing up to the cliffs, wave after wave. The king stood expressionless, motionless, his eyes unblinking.
Not far away, I saw that the old general of the Central Plains riding a war horse had been forced to the cliff of the valley, and he craned his neck and shouted: "Friendly troops of the Western Regions Kingdom, please quickly send troops to fight with us and flank the Heavenly God Kingdom!"
Pan'er was so anxious and restless that she never expected that the king would stand still at this critical juncture. The people of the Central Plains have been forced to the bottom of the valley, and the situation is extremely unfavorable. She couldn't help but think, "Am I going to watch them die one by one?"
I only feel that the butchers of the Heavenly God Kingdom are not afraid of bloodshed, they are not afraid of sacrifice, and they all regard death as home, and they don't know what kind of spell the Heavenly Demon has released on them. The soldiers of the Heavenly God Kingdom are generally taller than the Central Plains people, and the Central Plains soldiers are already exhausted after a long-distance attack and are attacked by towering ancient trees in the dark forest, and it seems that they have no power to resist at this time.
Moreover, there is one most important reason, the people of the Central Plains do not have a firm belief and the belief in victory, and in a passive situation, the will of the soldiers is wavering. At this moment, I only heard someone shouting: "Let's run! Retreat!"
Pan'er couldn't help but feel sad and indignant in her heart, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Majesty, these Central Plains soldiers are the same as your soldiers, they are all human beings, they have parents and relatives, they have abandoned their families and businesses, and they have come here thousands of miles to help you retreat from the enemy, how can you not save your troops at this critical point? As soon as the army's heart is scattered, the Kingdom of the Heavenly Gods will attack, and your life will inevitably be difficult to protect at that time!"
When the king heard her say this, his face turned blue and red, his breathing became rapid, his right hand pressed his sword tightly, and his mind was engaged in a fierce struggle.
Then the black-robed man appeared out of nowhere, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, you can order the soldiers to shoot arrows down the hill and stone them to death." Although he spoke in a small voice, Pan'er could hear it clearly this time.
She was stunned and said loudly: "No! There are all the Central Plains soldiers who are fighting bloodily, do you want to stone them to death?"
The black-robed man slowly turned his head, smiled coldly, and said, "Woman's benevolence, what do you know, since you are on the battlefield, sacrifice is inevitable." Then, he raised his voice and said sharply: "Which thousand years of hegemony is not piled up by countless bones?"
Pan'er glared at him, and at that moment, she suddenly felt an inexplicable tingling pain in her chest. The black-robed man's eyes were like a dark black well, bottomless, and she felt as if her soul was about to be sucked away by him.
At this moment, I saw a white light on the Qibao Blessing Bead on her wrist, like a sweet spring pouring into her chest, and gradually, the pain in her heart and mouth suddenly decreased, and then she came to her senses. She couldn't help but be frightened, and didn't dare to look up at the black-robed man again. She couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and thought to herself, "Who is this man? This is not a person at all! My soul was almost sucked out by him, is he a rakshasa?"
This painful feeling, Pan'er has experienced it once, that is, the moment when the three souls were sucked away by the Rakshasa King. But she couldn't help but think again: "The Rakshasa King has already lost his soul, who is this black-robed man?" The more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, could it be that this black-robed man controlled the king's mind?
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps between the valleys, interrupting her thoughts. She raised her head suddenly, and her face was overjoyed, only to see the towering ancient tree leading many tree people, stepping towards the valley mouth.
Pan'er said loudly, "Where are you going?"
The towering ancient tree said, "I'm going to destroy the demons!" he shook his head as he walked, "These people are still so selfish. ”
Pan'er only heard the blood boiling in his chest, he took a deep breath, and he didn't know where the courage came from, suddenly jumped on a war horse, "drive", pulled out his sword, chased after the ancient tree, and shouted: "Let's go fight together!" She couldn't help but look back at the black-robed man again, and thought, "What kind of demon are you?"
When the soldiers of the Western Regions Kingdom saw Pan'er and a weak woman rushing to the battlefield, they all lowered their heads in shame, as if they had suffered a great humiliation, and whispered in a sullen manner: "Why are we not as good as a woman." ”
The words were low, but the king heard them. He couldn't help but change his face, at this moment, he already felt the strong dissatisfaction of the soldiers, and if he didn't send troops now, he was afraid that the army's heart would change.
The king breathed a deep sigh and said in a muffled voice, "Prepare for war!"
The general was in high spirits, immediately drew his sword, and said in a loud voice: "All the officers and men of the army obey the order! Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! Fight your way out of the encirclement!"
In an instant, the morale of the generals was greatly boosted, and they mounted their horses, drew their swords, and filled their bows and crossbows, waiting for the king's final orders. At this moment, Pan'er has rushed into the chaotic battlefield with the tree people.
When the old general of the Central Plains saw Pan'er, his face was overjoyed, and he shouted: "What about the army of the Western Regions?"
Pan'er lowered her head and couldn't say a word.
Suddenly, I saw a tall butcher of the Heavenly God Kingdom rushing over, he waved the mace in his hand, slammed it upward, and struck towards Pan'er's head.
Seeing this, the old general hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!"
Pan'er came back to her senses and turned her head to look, only to feel a strong wind coming, and a blood-stained mace in front of her was about to hit her head. She let out an "ahh
With the sound of the "bell", Pan'er only felt a violent shock in her right arm, and the pain was unbearable, as if her bones were about to break. The force of this blow was extremely fierce, the sword in her hand was instantly shaken off, and the war horse fell to the ground with a "whoop".
Although Pan'er blocked this surprise attack and saved her life, she was still shot out several feet. She fell to the ground with a "poof", the sand in front of her was flying, and the panicked horse's hooves almost stepped on her face.
The butcher of the Heavenly God Kingdom couldn't help but look excited, and shouted, "It's a woman! It's a woman!" He laughed, shook off the mace in his hand, spread his hands, and flew towards Pan'er.
Pan'er pedaled with all her might, stepping back step by step, her arm was in pain, she couldn't stand up at all, she was stunned for a while, it seemed that she was dead.
In an instant of life and death, time gradually slowed down.
Looking back on her life, she really has more bitterness and less happiness, and suddenly recalls many happy moments: the time with her parents and relatives when she was a child was happy. Later, I encountered the suffering in the temple, and by chance, I experienced so many bizarre things with him, and I was also happy. I don't know what happened to him, I really want to see him again, I really want to go with him to help the suffering and save all sentient beings. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel nostalgic, reluctant to give up on this world, and bursts of sadness come to my heart.
In an instant, her severed arm actually floated, Qiqing Xiao danced in the wind, and beautiful music fluttered in the air.
