A gust of cold and fierce wind blew on the valley in the north of the Western Regions Country, like thousands of blades attacking, scraping on people's faces and hurting. In this valley, which covers the sky, although there are fruit groves, clean water and food, there is also an abundance of people.

Everyone experienced the catastrophe of the country, and they were divided for a while. The people were divided into several factions, each sitting in a circle, chattering endlessly.

"Surrender...... At least we can all survive......"

"I want to go home...... All the money I've saved up for life is gone......"

"It's better to go out and fight with them......"

"As long as we destroy all the Buddha statues and sutras and believe in God of desire, we will still be able to live a peaceful life......

"It's not because the king insists on going his own way that our family is ruined......"

In the valley came the whispering of people. They couldn't help but implicate this resentment with the temple, the monks, and finally the king. As they spoke, the men all looked at the king. In their eyes, a poisonous fire of anger ignited.

After a whole day and a night, the king sat down under a great tree. I saw him holding his head in his hands and sinking into deep thought. On this barren desert, several generations of kings worked hard to create this prosperous Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions, but why did the country collapse and disappear overnight? He only felt like a dream, immersed in frustration and pain for a long time, unable to extricate himself, and ignored everything around him. However, he did not perceive the fire of anger from the crowd.

The king's loyal general had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights. I saw that he had multiple knife wounds all over his body, and his heavy armor was stained with blood. But he remained with his sword, and stood vigilantly at the king's side, watching for any disturbances around him.

When he saw that the king was dejected and in a trance, he couldn't help but feel anxious, so he immediately knelt down on one knee and said aloud: "Your Majesty, please cheer up again! As long as the people are still there, there is still hope for everything! The most important thing at the moment is to appease the morale of the army and the people, and we will be able to restore the country when we reorganize and prepare for the regrouping!"

The king slowly raised his head, looked at him in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Have you seen where the Great Bodhisattva is?"

The general shook his head.

The king sighed and said slowly, "The Great Bodhisattva has also left us...... If I had listened to the advice of the ministers and surrendered to the Kingdom of the Gods, perhaps this would not have been the end. Those demons are too powerful...... It was my insistence that led to today's end. I am ashamed of the kings of the Western Regions, of the soldiers who are loyal to me, and of these displaced people!"

The king's words were so sincere that the iron-clad man burst into tears when he heard it, and he choked up and said, "Your Majesty, you must hold on! We swear allegiance to the Western Regions!" He hurriedly wiped his tears, for fear that the soldiers would see it and affect the morale of the army as a whole. He straightened his face, got up and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't relax, everyone! Carefully check the surroundings and beware of an enemy ambush! Rest assured, soldiers, we will rest and recuperate here for the time being, and when the time comes, we will counterattack!"

As far as the eye could see, in the midst of this crowded crowd of soldiers, I suddenly saw a short and thin figure, kneeling on the ground facing the west, bowing and saying: "Buddha, Buddha, please bless the light to defeat the darkness, and bless us to finally defeat the demons!

This short, thin figure was none other than Ablunka.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a "bang", and Ablunka only felt that his head was violently hit, and the blood flowed immediately, and he grinned in pain. He clutched his head and looked up, his eyes full of resentment, and the stone that had smashed on his head fell to the ground.

Ablunka said dumbfoundedly, "Why are you beating me?"

However, the scene in front of him was more horrifying than the pain in his head. I saw a group of people gathered around the people who had fled here, and said to him viciously: "Don't read it, be careful to recruit the Heavenly God Kingdom again! It is because of these Buddha statues that we have lost our homeland!"

Ablunka said: "Folks, I am praying to the Buddha, let's work together and strengthen our faith, and we will definitely be able to defeat those demons!"

The people sneered at him one after another, saying, "We are suffering here, where is the Buddha? The Buddha is just a wisp of green smoke, while the butchers of the Heavenly God Kingdom are outside, they may kill you and me at any time! That wisp of green smoke is useless!"

Ablunka couldn't help but feel infinite sorrow in his heart, he took a breath and said, "You can't do this, it's the war they started, it's the suffering that the demons bring to us, not the Buddha! The Buddha will definitely be merciful and save us!"

As he spoke, more and more people gathered around, all of them red-faced, and joined the heated debate:

"What's wrong with bowing to the gods?"

"But....... The gods will kill us all......"

"It's because we don't believe in the gods that we're punished!"

"Do we have to suffer such a punishment if we don't believe in God?"

Ablunka looked at them, and for a moment, he felt that his bloodshot eyes had become strange and unfamiliar, as if in their eyes, Ablunka was a monster, a monster more terrifying than the demons outside.

The way people deal with the alien is to completely eliminate it.

The men looked around, and they saw that the king was surrounded by guards with weapons, and they did not dare to make a mistake, nor could they come near. But Ablunka in front of him is just an unarmed child. Gradually, there was a hint of murder in their eyes.

Ablunka didn't know it, and continued, "Folks, we must not bow down to the devil!"

At this time, two people in the crowd suddenly looked at each other strangely, and they quietly withdrew from the crowd without saying a word. They had already secretly planned to offer the boy who was reciting Buddha to the gods to show their sincerity.

The two men leaned over and lifted a boulder, intending to crush Ablunka to death.

In a moment, the king casually turned his head and saw the two men. He couldn't help but be startled, and immediately woke up and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

Ablunka shuddered, and when he saw the two men, he thought, "Are they going to stone me?"

The two men panicked for a moment, hurriedly put down the boulder, and jumped into the crowd. The king stood up, but saw that the people were on their knees, and they were all silent. When the king looked at it, he couldn't help but feel that the eyes of the people were full of resentment and dissatisfaction with him. It's just that because of the guards around him, no one dares to show it.

The king said sharply: "At present, the great enemy, all the people of our Western Regions must share the same hatred for the enemy!

Suddenly, a cold wind blew over the dark valley.

A black-robed figure came up behind the king. He leaned into the king's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, these people have rebelled...... They are plotting to kill you. ”

The king's face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "What?" I saw that his face became more and more solemn, and then became hideous, his eyebrows were twisted, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Gradually, his expression returned to calm. It's just that face that has become unpredictable.

His face sank, and he slowly walked forward, his sharp eyes sweeping over the people in front of him. When the people saw the king coming, they bowed their heads and waited for the king's instructions.

The king stood for a long time, silent, and fell silent. He suddenly beckoned to the general beside him. The general received the order and walked briskly to the king. When he saw the king regaining his strength, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please give orders!"

The king smiled slightly, lifted him up, and said in a dark voice, "You are my loyal servant...... In times of crisis, you have to rely on the army and the sword. ”

The general couldn't help but be impassioned and said: "As long as His Majesty the King gives an order, the minister will lead all the soldiers to fight out of the siege!"

But seeing that the king shook his head slightly, he said in a low voice: "If you go outside, you must first settle ...... inside."

The general was stunned, confused for a while, and didn't know why. But when he saw the king's face gloomy, he looked around at the people with angry eyes. In an instant, the general seemed to understand a little, and bowed his head and whispered, "What does His Majesty mean...... We have a spy here?"

The king let out a muffled "um", and the pair of eyes that were neither yin nor yang looked at the general, and said, "You won't betray me, will you?"

The general couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and suddenly he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "The minister will be loyal to the king and the Western Regions for the rest of his life, and swear not to surrender to the Heavenly God Kingdom!"

The king nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "What if someone wants to murder me?"

The general's face changed in shock, and he immediately said, "The minister will kill him!"

The king glanced at the people in front of him with his spare eyes and said, "Among these people, there are spies of the Heavenly God Kingdom, and some people want to murder me and plot for my throne!"

The general was stunned, immediately glared at the people, and shouted: "Bold!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "All the soldiers listen to the order, all assemble!"

When the soldiers on standby heard the order, they took up their weapons and rushed to the general. During the war with the Celestial Kingdom, the king did not go all out in order to preserve his strength, so the army suffered few casualties. It didn't take long for more than 10,000 guards to assemble into a phalanx. They held their heads high and waited for the general's orders.

The king said loudly: "Many soldiers, in order to defend the country and our parents and relatives, you have fought bloody battles and sworn to kill the enemy. You are the heroes of the Western Regions! I thank you all here!" As he spoke, he saw the king collapse forward, and he knelt down on one knee before the soldiers.

Seeing this, the general hurriedly helped the king to his feet and shouted, "Swear allegiance to the king!"

When all the soldiers saw the king's sincere action, they all burst into tears and shouted in unison: "Long live the king! Long live the Western Regions!"

The king nodded, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he pointed to the people in front of him, and said loudly: "Soldiers, we will fight to the death on the front line, and defend our homeland with our lives. And behind us, there are spies of the Heavenly God Kingdom who are trying to murder me, what should we do?"

Many soldiers were stunned at each other, and for a moment only one soldier could be heard crying out in grief and indignation: "Who dares to murder our king!

In an instant, these red-eyed soldiers who killed red-eyed soldiers on the battlefield were all filled with righteous indignation. Immediately, rows of guards armed with spears surrounded many people.

The king said, "The spies are among them." ”

The general immediately understood and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, when the ministers interrogate them one by one, they will be able to find out this spy!"

This sudden scene could not help but shock many people. This silent valley was filled with people for a while, and the weary soldiers became more energetic, and they drove the people into a mass to be interrogated and interrogated by the guards.

The soldiers of the Western Regions and these people already knew each other, and some of them had a holiday with each other. During this interrogation, some of the guards began to declare their personal vendettas. It didn't take long for the number of spies and plotters found in the interrogation, whether true or not, to hundreds.

The people, who were identified as spies, were bound up by the guards. They cried out for injustice and were escorted before the king, where they awaited their fate.

For a time, there were many complaints in the valley, and the people were dissatisfied.

But seeing the king glance coldly, at that moment, he didn't seem to know these people, and his eyes burst with a fierce fire of hatred, which was even far greater than the hatred of the Heavenly God Kingdom. These people, whom he had declared to heaven to defend with their lives, had become his greatest enemies at this moment!

The general knelt down on one knee and said, "What to do with these people, please send the king." ”

The king didn't raise his head, but only heard him say coldly: "Kill!"

In fact, the king cleared his heart that these people may not all be spies, but he must kill them! He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one! Only a human head can deter the ministers and the people, and make his throne unshakable.

I saw that the executioners raised their big knives one after another, and in an instant, hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and in this dark valley, wailing was all over the field, and blood flowed like a river. The people cried and shouted, they never thought that the king who protected them had become a demon king who killed people without blinking.

However, it doesn't end there. The guards arrested hundreds more and began a new round of interrogation.

The king's eyes were blood-red, and his face was full of hideousness, and he said, "How dare you betray me......! I'm going to kill you all!"

Ablunka was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he couldn't figure out why these people were killing each other.

Suddenly he rushed up to a soldier, raised his foot and kicked him to the ground, shouting, "You are also a spy!

Ablunka looked back in amazement, and suddenly heard the muffled voices of the surrounding people: "Let's go and grab the guards' swords in a while, and fight with them!"

"Capture the thief first capture the king, kill the king, and we will be free!"

"Then we fled and took refuge in the kingdom of the gods. ”

Ablunka was shocked, and was even more sad and angry, and the people and the king had completely separated from the king.

He inadvertently looked up and saw the king, and was surprised to see a strange black-robed man standing behind the king. In the light and shadow, but I saw that miserable white face, white and gray, those eyes, there was no white, no focus, no human look, as if a dead person.

I saw a wicked smile on the corner of the black-robed man's mouth.
