Chapter 143: For the Devil and the Devil

readx;? Hearing that all mysteries would be solved, I took a deep breath and turned my gaze to Yajian and Treasure, who were as curious as I was. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel.2 Previously, I thought that with the character of the old man Gu, we wanted to pry a little secret about him from him, which was a fantasy. But now that Old Man Gu has decided to tell us everything, the three of us suddenly feel a little panicked, the kind of panic that is close to the truth.

We are like children in fairy tales, holding oil lamps and stepping into the misty forest, and the story of Gu Xi is full of unknown and mysterious magic, attracting us to listen attentively.

His story must not be simple, according to some of the questions I suspected before, it may be a little unexpected, so my mood is anxious at this moment, and it feels like the story is told in the ** part, and all the souls have been hooked.

The old man's gaze began to blur with the faint candle flame, and the beginning of the matter began with a past of his ancestors, which was like a tragic, silent black-and-white movie, a bit ironic and cold.

I don't know why it's so hard to accept things between people, but it does, and it's out of control. This matter has now become a kind of hatred, into a kind of mourning, if the person concerned has a spirit in the sky, or has knowledge under the spring, I don't know if he will regret the evil consequences planted that day.

The tragedy began during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the Central Plains region was prosperous, but the country could not avoid the problems of the border Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu are nomadic people, fierce and good at war, Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to go deep into the Western Regions for the first time, in addition to the unknown of the desert land in the Western Regions, there is also to unite the countries of the Western Regions to deal with the Xiongnu who repeatedly invaded the Han Dynasty.

Because of Zhang Qian's envoy, there began to be exchanges between countries in the Western Regions. Because of its proximity to the Han Dynasty and the fact that it was a necessary place for the Central Plains to reach the countries of the Western Regions, it attracted Zhang Qian's attention.

At that time, the name of the Loulan country flourished on the shore of Lop Nur Lake, living a life of fishing and hunting, although the number of people was only more than 10,000, but each was brave, but the country was small and must be oppressed, and the people of Loulan suffered from the plundering of the Huns all the year round, and suffered in the dire straits.

Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, which has great achievements in history, but for a small country, it is to survive in the gap between the strong and the strong, without respite.

When Gu Xi recalls the past, he remembers that his ancestors recorded that the salt land was fertile and stood in the sea of sand, and it was really a paradise on earth.

The vast water source, the transparent blue sky and white clouds, and the endless yellow poplar forest are like gorgeous brocades, provoking people's visual nerves. The strange willow silk hangs down a thousand times, the white bird in the lake spreads its wings, taps the water surface, and the breeze blows through a sparkling wave. Miss Loulan sat on the boat and hummed a little song, wearing a rattan basket, the beautiful color reflected in my mind, reminded me of Zhu Xi's poem, "Half an acre of square pond is opened, and the sky and clouds and shadows wander together." "The flow of the sky in the blue waves, like the freehand beauty in the poem, is fascinating.

However, beauty will always be ruthlessly broken by ** and war, just like Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring", there are always greedy people who do not hesitate to intrude on the happy life of others for their own interests.

Loulan, who originally submitted to the power of the Xiongnu iron horseman, was full of vigilance when he first came into contact with the Han people, for them, the Han was a strange nation, they did not know the purpose of the Han army, and the small country lived in fear.

In the days that followed, Emperor Wu sent a large number of people to break the Huns, and the people of Loulan got the news and were overjoyed, that is, they held a feast for three days to celebrate, they simply thought that the disaster was far away from them, but they did not know that it was the beginning of a bloody tragedy.

Because the Han people frequently entered the desert, the powerful Han envoy asked the king of Loulan to send guides to deliver water and food to the Han people who had crossed the desert, and took them across the desert that devoured people. The population of Loulan is not large, and the people who are sent out are some strong men, and they are said to be guides, but they are actually worse than coolies. The people of Loulan were miserable, and their jealousy towards the Han people gradually deepened. It's just that although the people complained, the king of Loulan was unable to prevent the spread of this discontent due to the situation.

Hatred, once it can't be loaded in the heart, there will be unintentional cruelty......

Because the county set up by the Han army was still a certain distance away from Loulan, and the Han people were not familiar with the desert, the Xiongnu iron cavalry had the advantage of being close to the water, and would still invade the rebellious Loulan country from time to time. The people of Loulan could no longer stand the days of being coolies, and they knew that the Han was far away from their hometown and could not care about their life and death forever, so they fell to the Xiongnu again.

Many of the Loulan people, who were initially jealous of the Han Chinese, secretly killed the Han people who had entered the desert with scimitars, and left their bodies in the yellow sand. Huangsha is the best place to bury the facts, there is no trace, and after the Loulan people killed the Han people, they also intercepted their belongings.

This kind of revenge mentality made them feel relieved and refreshed, and the feeling of slaughter began to expand in the hearts of the originally simple Loulan people. In the days that followed, more and more Han Chinese died......

The origin of the debt began in this brutal killing, and this beginning also doomed Guxi and his people to a painful and miserable life.

It turned out that among the Han people who attacked the Loulan people back then, there was a young man named Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu is Gu Xi's ancestor, a child born in a wealthy family.

Gu Xiu's father was in the silk business, he was a philanthropist, and he was still a cloth idiot. He obtained a batch of beautiful and fine fabrics from the Western Regions in the Central Plains, and he longed to go to the Western Regions one day to see the generation of this fabric. After the Han army broke the Xiongnu and the corridor connecting the Western Regions was completed, Gu Xiu's father took his young child to embark on the road of no return to the Western Regions.

After going through hardships and yearning for dazzling cloth, Gu Xiu followed his father through Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, and got his own Loulan guide. But the guide led them not to the way they longed, but to the way of hell.

Gu Xiu's father and his entourage were ruthlessly killed in the night, Gu Xiu was also stabbed several times, and all their belongings were ruthlessly plundered. Gu Xiu had a big life, and his body was protected by two entourages, and in order to avoid losing his life, he endured the pain all over his body and pretended to be dead.

He didn't know how to survive the night of torment and pain, the sand and dust in the sky, the moon in the desert was particularly round, and the thick sand on his body and the corpses of those attendants who loyally covered him could not cover the coldness in his heart.

His father, the father who was warm and friendly to the guide of Loulan, ended up being gouged out of his eyes, and the heart-rending screams of his father made Gu Xiu's heart like a thousand knives into it, and he trembled and resented......

He staggered to his feet and walked in a state of misery......

The bodies of his father and his entourage had been covered by yellow sand, but in his heart, the cold moonlight illuminated a bloody path. The blood of the nine people, together with the mottled blood stains on his body, made his hatred grow in his heart, and froze the innocence and kindness that he had originally retained.

Gu Xi said that Gu Xiu's records are full of words of strong resentment, which seem to be imprints, leaving their descendants not with simple records, but with hatred. He hoped that these words would make future generations' hatred of the Loulan people pass on forever, because he would never forget the bright and murderous scimitar under the moonlit night, as well as the greedy and vicious faces of the Loulan people.

When Gu Xi said this, he sighed deeply, he said no wonder Gu Xiu hated it so much, he originally lived in a beautiful family, his parents were complete, and those entourages were also his father's cronies, taking care of him, and suddenly seeing his loved ones being ruthlessly killed, his body was in a different place, and his stomach was broken, and that kind of cruelty was not something ordinary people could bear. Gu Xiu took a breath and did not go with his kind and kind father, in order to take revenge.

When the demons are born, they are out of control...... I don't know Gu Xiu, a person on the verge of death, with what kind of belief he relied on to get out of the desert step by step, I only know that once this kind of person is ruthless, the consequences are definitely beyond what we ordinary people can imagine.
