Chapter 83: A Journey to the South Seas (14)
The current Master Zhou is in a bit of a dilemma. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you enter, the whole family will find another place, not to mention whether there is a safe place in the city now, even if there is, it is difficult to reach!
Now in addition to being safe here, at least there are many Chinese here, and they can protect themselves from each other, and there are eight pillars of light falling from the sky here, protecting a three-mile radius around here, and the natives don't know what this is for a while, and they haven't begun to impact here. But once you leave the shelter of these pillars of light, it's hard to say.
Where will the Zhou family lose face if they retreat? Where is the dignity of Master Zhou?
People live with a face, and trees live with a skin. is over half a hundred years old, full of children and grandchildren, and when did the rich and noble Lord Zhou ever receive such a bird spirit?
Without face, Master Zhou is more uncomfortable than death.
"Master Zhou, where to go, have you thought about it clearly?" At this time, the head of the nursing home, who would never look at it in the past, instantly became angry, and dared to ask him so "humiliatingly"!
Master Zhou really wanted to slap him and let him know how far he was from Master Zhou's net worth! Look at the big family around you. Look at that pitiful look. Master Zhou knows that it is easy to slap out, but it is difficult to take it back! Now that there is purgatory outside for adults, after this slap is out, where will this family of dozens of people, old and young, go with many servants?
Although the world is big, where can I go?
"Master Zhou, do you have to give an accurate word? It's almost dawn on this day" I can't help but say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not too late for a villain to take revenge from morning to night. The head of the Wang family's nursing home is a typical "villain". Now I can seize the opportunity to get out of my heart. Pi Xiaorou urged Master Zhou without smiling, his words were not very respectful, and his attitude was naturally lacking.
"The end is not the son of man!" Master Zhou scolded secretly.
Master Zhou's face was uncertain, and he had all kinds of tastes in his heart.
The ancients said: "Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of festival is a big matter." But look at every time the world is in danger, how many big people who chant "take righteousness and become benevolent" on weekdays really go to "become benevolent"? The scalp is too itchy and the water is too cold, isn't the money rat tail the same as being a tartar official?
Master Zhou is a person who has read the books of sages, and he has read a lot. Otherwise, it would not have cost so much to send the eldest son back to Daming, thousands of miles away, to study. But reading the books of sages is not the same thing as being a "sage".
"Hey! The road is not good, take the boat to float in the sea, but it is difficult to go by boat! There are many ignorant people in the world, so that there are vertical sons to force each other, and gentlemen are also difficult to fix" After Lord Zhou looked up to the sky and sighed, he had to nod.
The situation is stronger than people, even Master Zhou can only give up his face and abandon the guard. For a while, some people in the Zhou family were happy and some were worried. Rejoice that their lives have been saved, and grieve the families who are about to be captured to serve as soldiers.
Who doesn't know that knives and guns have no eyes, they are injured when they are next to each other, and they die when they touch them? What's more, there is a meeting with a bunch of mud legs, engaged in that cheap business, and I don't know if I can wash it off in the future. How can there be a little bit of Sven in the future?
"Daddy! How can you agree" The second young master of the Zhou family panicked instantly, asking him to go to fight as a soldier, it was even more terrible than death. Before he became a soldier, he cried as if he was going to die, and suddenly knelt in front of his father, crying and begging this father to save him.
Master Zhou could only sigh, and waved his hand with tears streaming down his eyes, indicating that he could not do anything.
The second young master of the Zhou family was stunned for an instant, and for a while, he cried like a real life and death. Even the fourth young master, who had a pale face but could still hold back, couldn't stand it anymore.
Now there are onlookers everywhere, crying like this will lose the face of the Zhou family.
The second young master didn't care, as long as he thought of going to fight with the natives, he was so scared that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, and his heart was full of despair. At this time, the fourth brother came to pull him, and immediately found a channel to vent.
Speaking of which, the fourth young master of the Zhou family really has no status. Speaking of the fourth young master, he was raised by an aunt. Where can it be compared to the second young master's roots and seedlings? immediately slapped his younger brother, not only blinded his younger brother, but also stunned his old man.
The surrounding crowd was also dumbfounded for a while! What kind of play is this?
"Sticks out of filial piety, pampered and disobedient!" When a wealthy drama was being staged on the street, Lichen was taking Zhu Zaikai to crowd in the crowd to "investigate the people's feelings"! This big drama happened to be watched by the two of them. When Lichen and Zhu Zai were just about to shake their heads and leave, they heard an old man sighing there.
It seems that the sons of this old man must have been beaten a lot! However, there is really such a perception in this era, and it is another thing to be reluctant to give up.
"Master, is that old man right?" Zhu Zai followed the dust and walked a long way before asking.
"Not necessarily. Life is like a blank sheet of paper, there is no good and no evil. Each person has his own fate. There are no absolutes in any kind of thing. Lichen shook his head and replied.
Zhu Zaikai is still young, and his wife doesn't know where to nest in the arms of his mother-in-law! What is the issue of cultivating successors?
"It's coming!" When Lichen took Zhu Zaikai to the third floor of a restaurant, Lichen suddenly frowned and whispered.
In this era, because of the problem of building materials, there were few high-rise buildings except for stupas. The third floor of the restaurant where Lichen and Zhu Zaikai are now staying is the highest place in the city. Originally, restaurants rarely open in the middle of the night, after all, restaurants are not green buildings, and they have to do business in the middle of the night. But today is obviously special, this restaurant has something to do in the city, except for the tallest building in the palace, many uneasy big bosses have sent people to the restaurant to look.
If something is wrong, you can deal with it early, or slip away, or think of other ways.
The timing of Lichen and Zhu Zaikai was very coincidental, and they just caught up with the last position on the third floor.
"The natives are coming, they're coming, the natives are really coming" As the fire dragons seen from afar gathered on the top of the restaurant, surging in the direction of Xuanguangguan, the spies in the restaurant naturally knew what it meant.
"The wolf is ambitious, not the son of man. These natives of Ziyidi beasts are here, and I will kill them all! I don't know who shouted angrily, and the whole building was in a panic. And it quickly began to spread. Panicked cries rang out in the streets.
One by one, the spies hurried downstairs with pale faces, and there was even one who didn't know if he was nervous or scared, and when he went downstairs, he accidentally fell directly from the third floor to the second floor, and the whole restaurant was in a mess for a while.
Crying and scolding all around!
At this time, suddenly a group of strong men with weapons in their hands poured out from various large courtyards and Xuanguang Temple, and there were quite a few people, several thousand. In order to have enough open space, the vestibule of the entrance hall and the martial arts training ground of many large families were requisitioned to operate.
This is a real soldier, although he has not been trained at all, and many of them can't even hold weapons. But their appearance at least stabilized people's hearts.
Even if it is a rabble, sometimes it cannot be underestimated. Especially when it comes to protecting your home and loved ones.
This is also the reason why most regimental training and local armed forces are dragons in their hometowns, and they are worms when they go out.
Without him! The Prophet then the War. These strong men are not fighting for others, but for themselves and their families. No matter how rabble it is, it is not something that the natives can easily defeat under the absolute death.
As the fire dragon of the natives got closer and closer, the panicked Chinese crowd also moved closer to the center. It's like a chick huddling together to keep warm. Although it can give most of the Chinese a little more security, it will undoubtedly make it difficult for their soldiers to march, and they have to barely squeeze a way through the crowd, and the team that has just been formed will disperse in an instant.
As for whether anyone deserted and took the opportunity to break away from the team. Seriously, under the dust consciousness, there really are, but there are really not many.
Because the reason is very clear, if the natives come in, no one will survive. There is still a chance to fight, and if you don't fight, you won't even have a chance. They can only let the natives wantonly kill their relatives and clansmen.
The Chinese team was a step slower after all, and by the time they were about to arrive, the natives were already standing on the border illuminated by the pillar of light.
For the unknown, both the local and the Chinese have a trace of awe. Because of the rumors in advance, the natives were very taboo against the pillar of light. Although I watched the Chinese people enter and exit without hindrance, I don't know if the entry and exit of the natives will be hindered!
But things are already like arrows and have to be sent. So the native who played the striker also had to cautiously approach the pillar of light after a guy who was obviously the leader of the war.
"Look for death!" Lichen smiled contemptuously.
With such a major event that is about to cost tens of thousands of lives, how could Lichen come up with a bluff to fool the world.
The Eight Gates Golden Lock is a kind of Qimen Dunjia, which was originally a magic circle for cultivating immortals, which was used to temporarily guard the retreat. But after the Heavenly Dao retreated, this array was taken out and improved, and it became a kind of secret technique of the human military array. But after Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, few people knew its essence. In the Three Kingdoms era, there were already only people with the same name, who were used to bluff people.
If it weren't for the fact that there was Chenkunwu and his party, he would not be able to manifest this array in the world again.
The power of this array can be large or small, and the most important thing is that it is convenient to set up. The power varies greatly depending on the material and the complexity. To deal with a group of mortal natives, the dust is naturally simplified and simplified, to the point that several sets of array flags can also be arranged.
The first person to eat crabs may not always be rich, and may be the first to be poisoned. One step ahead of others, not all of them can become people, and they may become "martyrs" early. A group of natives pretended to be brave and swaggered towards the pillar of light, and just walked into the place where the pillar of light illuminated, before they could react, the pillar of light suddenly brightened. The next scene scared countless people stupidly on the spot.
With the circulation of the eight pillars of light, the light shining on the natives suddenly brightened, blinding the eyes of countless people, and the team of more than ten people instantly turned into green smoke and disappeared between heaven and earth. I don't know how people turn into smoke, but it's terrifying enough.
It turns out that the promise of Xuanguangguan is really not a lie. Now the natives understand, and the Chinese also understand.
It's just that the faces of the natives are pale, and no matter how much they agitate, no matter how much they agitate, no one will be sent to death. The Chinese were thunderous and shouted "God blessed".
At this moment, the status of the Xuanguang Temple is extremely lofty, and even if it is another thousand years, this miracle-like event will be passed down from generation to generation among the Chinese. The thousand-year-old foundation of Xuanguangguan has been laid, as long as the Chinese here are not destroyed, no one can shake the status of Xuanguangguan!
Are the natives willing? Are the prostrate people willing? Are the upper echelons of the natives willing?
At least from the ugly faces of the second prince and his teacher, you can see how angry the natives are at this moment!
The second prince gave an order, not only did he send someone to tempt him, but he also called him to death.
Hundreds of human lives have become sacrifices for the reappearance of the Eight Golden Lock Array. In the end, no matter how coerced the generals and how agitated the Acrees were, no one was willing to take the initiative to walk into the pillar of light.
The natives are really afraid, when they burn and loot, they don't care about the lives of the Chinese, it doesn't mean that they don't cherish their lives.
repeatedly sent people to give their lives in vain, which also made the upper and lower classes of the local people instantly have antagonistic emotions.
The second prince is not stupid, the prostrate are not stupid, and the generals are not stupid.
Not only do the Chinese know that although the natives have not yet been civilized, they still know a little.
In the end, the result of the compromise was that the natives surrounded the Chinese gathering place for three miles around the Xuanguang Temple, waiting for the pillar of light to disappear.
"The gods are great, and you cannot doubt the power of the gods. The heretical gods will eventually be destroyed, and the pillar of light will recede the moment the gods arrive. When the time comes, the Chinese will not be able to escape the judgment of the gods. If you don't want to take refuge, you can only die," the priest of the gods told his people.
"How long will it take for the great god to come," the devout indigenous believers asked.
"The gods are great, but their eyes will shine on the whole world. When the gods found out about the anomaly here, they naturally rushed to it. In three days, the evil will reced, and the radiance of the gods will defeat the pagan, evil gods," explained the priests of the gods, with some embarrassment.
In fact, this explanation is contrary to the supreme celestial nerves. But the belief in the gods must be maintained. The priests of the gods also had to be flexible.
In order to achieve the goal, the gods allow believers to lie, even if they deny their beliefs and make up a little nonsense, it is naturally only a small problem.
The next time is for the Chinese to stand in the pillar of light and confront the natives. It seems that after everything has settled down, people worship Xuanguang as a god, and everything seems to be beautiful. But after this piece of reverence, Lichen was angry and helpless.
Well, as soon as the Chinese who had forgotten the scars and forgot the pain saw that they were blessed by the pillar of light, and the natives could not cross the thunder pond by half a step, they began to question the necessity of the existence of the "Zhuangding Army". The intention is nothing more than that he doesn't want his son or husband to be a soldier anymore.
When the sound finally reached Chen's ears, Dusty was angry and funny. And I also felt a deep sense of incomparable sorrow!
Poor people, there will be pitiful places!
