Chapter 66: The Divine Power of the National Teacher
The sky was dark, the sunset was dark, and the sky was cloudy, and there was a line of cracking.
Everyone silently followed him, turned in a direction, and turned to Shen Tie.
His voice was like ice droplets cracking, the ice grass on all sides was windless, and the cold wind whistled above his head, flashing countless cold ice chips.
“…… Sure enough, here you are. ”
The barefoot man at the front suddenly raised his head and stared in that direction, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
But at the moment when Gong Yin took out an arrow, it triggered the celestial phenomena, and the clouds rolled in the sky.
The direction in which they were going, straight, was in the direction of the hawksbill turtle.
They walked through the wasteland, silently, joylessly, like a group of moving ice sculptures.
Behind him there was a long procession, all like him, white clothes and bare feet, with cold and indifferent expressions, and everywhere he passed, the cold air was bitter, and the ground cracked and there were ice ditches.
Above the hoarfrost, a man walked barefoot, stepping on the tip of the ice-stained grass, which did not move, and did not even fall a star on the broken ice.
The green grass is also full of white frost.
Northwest.
……
And in the northwest direction, there seems to be the same cloud, rolling silently, approaching.
Looking up at the sky again, the arrows of ice and snow have come out, but the sky has not yet returned to normal, the sunset has faded, the sunset has been harvested, the sky is full of clouds, and the cold wind is faintly whistling.
It seems that seeing the coldness of heaven's will, he deliberately created such a fierce and terrible man, standing between heaven and earth, strangling and destroying all obstacles in this world.
He looked back at the man who had lightly retracted his bow and his face had remained unchanged so far, and a shallow chill suddenly surged in his heart.
Only then did he know that Gong Yin had made a move, and every step was thoughtful, and every step saw the end. Killing, burning corpses, crushing bones, shooting cities, in the end, are all just to destroy the walls and set fires.
As soon as the beacon fire was lit and the army was gathered, his cronies' troops were stationed nearby, and once they arrived and opened the castle, his chances of winning would increase.
Tie Xingze had been looking at the city in a daze, as if he couldn't keep up with the thunderous and lightning-like changes, so he took a step back at this moment and slowly exhaled a long breath.
"Peng." The black fire shines, the wolf smoke rises, and the black smoke rolls up, rising to the sky. Thousands of miles away, clearly visible.
The other party kills the guard first, shoots an arrow with the ashes of the guard, and destroys the city with one arrow, such a strong enemy, such a malicious provocation, even if there is only one person, must be reported to the whole country!
The only condition for lighting the beacon fire is that the city wall is destroyed, and the destruction of the city wall means that the city is broken, and the city must be notified to the world.
Everyone woke up one after another - the iron law of the city, even if half of them were killed in battle, they could not light the beacon fire at will, because as soon as the fire was burned, it would alarm the whole army, which would mean that a strong enemy would knock on the pass and would attack the interior, and the country would be in danger, and all the troops must gather here as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, someone said in a dumb voice: "The city wall is destroyed, light a beacon fire...... Light the Beacon! ”
The city was dead silent, all the weapons were in dust, and the people could not have the courage to resist until such a miracle.
Then on this day, the myth suddenly and inexplicably, landed in front of an ordinary closed city in Shentie.
What's more, there are many elites, and the era of the founding queen of the sect like the starry has long passed, and the hidden sect is either declining or retreating, and such a legend has become a myth in the sky.
Ten zhang apart, an arrow to destroy the city, this is a legend of the story, everyone has heard of such a legend before, that belongs to hundreds of years ago, the legend of the powerful people of the founding queen era, and the legend is the legend, everyone thinks that the legend represents can be exaggerated can be whitewashed, can be imagined beautiful.
Everyone sat stunned in the debris of ice and snow, looking at the arrow, if it weren't for the fact that the arrow was so real in front of them, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
At the very front of the collapse, an iron arrow of ice and snow stained with ashes was quietly inserted.
At some point, a large part of the city wall on the left side of the front has disappeared, and the remaining part is still crumbling silently, and those sturdy, caulked with rice milk, which may not fall by bombardment, are now like sun-scorched snow walls, and they have collapsed for a long time.
Look again, what about the city wall?
Everyone in the city was stunned, the city wall was well blocked, how could someone suddenly slide down?
The shock was violent, countless arrows flew wildly, countless standing soldiers rolled into a ball, countless waving flags fell, and the ground was in shambles, everyone rolled on the ground in embarrassment, rolling and rolling suddenly felt that the ground was slippery and cold, and suddenly heard someone "ah" on the ground, leaned back, and disappeared from front of him.
The next moment, everyone felt a shock under their feet.
One person shot up to the sky.
I didn't hear a terrible sound, or the sound was so violent that people couldn't hear it, but suddenly I felt that the sky and the earth were dark, and when I looked again, I don't know when the sunset and sunset had faded, and the sky in March was full of clouds, whistling through a snow-colored light. It's like the gods suddenly smashing the ice and snow giant pestle and smashing the heavens and the earth in the face.
As soon as it came out, everyone seemed to feel that their hearts were "collapsing", and the meridians and blood in the whole body seemed to be liberated, and they seemed to be rapidly collapsing, and they subconsciously trembled and were cold.
"Whew!"
One person shot and dominated the world.
Even behind Gong Yin, Mo Jun, who wanted to make a move, was also shocked by such a cold aura and couldn't move.
The people in the city only felt as if a transparent ice shield was falling around them, and the blood was slowing down.
Even the sunset and sunset are dim under the shining light of ice and snow, between heaven and earth, only a pair of ice and snow bows and arrows remain, outside the bow and arrow, is the entire ice and snow aura, in an instant with Gong Yin as the center of the circle, a cold air to the bone, silently spread, the grass under his feet moved slightly, quickly extended a faint ice crystal color, the grass turned into white grass, a line of crystal, straight to the bottom of the city.
The air seemed to be suddenly pulled, emptied, taut, twisted, full of suffocating tension, everyone felt their breathing tight, and even their skin and joints seemed numb from the tension.
Everyone in the city couldn't help but shrink, and they all felt as if this bow and arrow were aimed at themselves. Or it's not just yourself, but all the people in this towering city, reckless and sunken iron, and the vast wilderness.
Obviously, there is only one person and one bow, and the entire Guancheng is like a chicken cub that has been targeted by a giant eagle.
The sunset jumped with golden light on the snow-white bowstring, and he bent his bow as if he was about to shoot down the mountains and rivers with an arrow.
Gong Yin ignored anyone, and he slowly raised the ice and snow bow. Aiming at the castle.
At this time, their attention is on Gong Yin, this is the real enemy.
They don't quite understand what Gong Yin is going to do.
Through the wire mesh and the fading wall of fire, the silent army also showed a look of confusion.
How can someone, at such a time, not deal with the authentic enemy, but have to get along with their own people?
Tie Xingze lost his soul and muttered, "You're crazy too......"
Some people are directing and shouting, some people are running fast, some people are pushing the bow and crossbow with all their might, and some people are desperately waving warning flags. On the battlements of the city wall, countless arrows with bows and crossbows poked out, staring at Gong Yin and Tie Xingze.
And above the city, the soldiers who saw this scene were already going crazy.
Gong Yin glanced at him lightly, and at that glance, Tie Xingze's heart was cold, as if he had been suddenly stabbed into the bone marrow by the ice arrow.
"National teacher, you can't!" Tie Xingze was in a hurry, and even his identity was shouted.
This is a bruise! The so-called life and death feud can't be like this!
Everyone's faces changed dramatically.
Then he poked the rocket-turned-ice arrow into the guard's charred corpse.
He picked up the bow and arrows, and the bows and arrows were burned hot, but when they reached his palm, the fiery red bow and arrows were suddenly covered with a layer of ice crystals, which quickly melted and quickly condensed, and after several changes in snow white and fiery red, they were finally covered with layers of ice and snow, becoming a heavy bow of ice and snow.
Then he found his bow beside the corpse of the guard, and it was an iron bow that was not so easily burned.
Gong Yin waited until the fire was getting smaller, and then he dialed it in the fire and took out an iron arrow, which was the arrow of the previous rocket.
The fire was very big, and after a while, the corpses were all charred, and the defenders of the city watched, and there was a look of grief and indignation in their eyes, and some people shouted loudly and mourned, and the voice was poignant, as if the dead guard was very loved by the soldiers on weekdays.
Gong Yin didn't look at Guan Cheng, he looked intently at the fire that burned the corpse, as if what the corpse could be burned into at this moment was what he was most concerned about.
Unless they can light the beacon fire, but the beacon fire in the city can not be lit casually, do they want to kill everyone in the city? Under the watchful eye of the silent army, how to kill? And how can you kill?
It's a dead end, and he doesn't know how to solve it.
Tie Xingze took a step back, looked at the towering Mo army over there, looked at the tightly closed iron-black gate here, and his face turned pale.
The defenders of the city were furious.
Countless figures in the city flashed and ran, setting up bows and arrows, aiming at Gong Yin and Tie Xingze.
Guan Cheng suddenly roared. When the two of them looked up, they saw that the gate of the city had been tightly closed.
Can such an army really be cultivated by the old king of Shen Tie, who has done nothing all his life and can't even teach a son?
Such a strategy is seamless, and such an army, where is it still the king knife of the state machine, it is obviously a murder weapon born with personal will.
If they see through, that's okay, then they'll have to kill these sources of infection before the rest of the defenders of the city are closed. But once they kill and can't explain clearly, Guancheng will be closed to them forever, and the Mo army can still calmly intercept and kill the king of Shen Tie before Guancheng.
If they follow these people back to Guancheng, then the entire Guancheng will die, they will also be poisoned, and the so-called Guancheng response will not exist, and the silent army can calmly surround Guancheng and trap them to death.
Once the defenders are out of the city, the wind is blowing, those people must be poisoned.
The fog net was not there to deal with them at all, the fog net was in the back, and the rocket was in front, just to attract the attention of the defenders of Guancheng and tempt them to go out of the city to check.
What a powerful army.
Gong Yin watched the flames of the burning corpse rise into the air, turned around, and glanced at Mo Jun.
Tie Xingze's face changed greatly.
"Highly toxic, contagious." Gong Yin said, "Once they return to Guancheng, everyone will have to die." ”
Tie Xingze was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then you don't have to kill them and burn their corpses!" In this way, the city will never be opened! ”
"I'm not crazy." Gong Yin kept throwing torches until all the corpses were burned under the fire, and then he said, "They are poisoned." ”
Tie Xingze didn't notice the dissipation of the mist, and was still immersed in puzzlement and anger, staring at Gong Yin, "You! You are crazy! ”
One of the three secret weapons of the Mo army, it was used less than once, and this time, because there was that person in white, it failed.
A gust of wind blew on the wilderness, blowing away the gray mist, and Mo Jun looked at the dispersed mist, with a look of pity in his eyes.
That's the reaction when you meet a strong enemy.
However, at this moment, they looked at Gong Yin silently and silently clenched the weapons in their hands.
If Tie Xingze saw their expressions at this time, he would be surprised, Mo Jun has always been scheming, his eyes are above the top, he rarely makes a move, and he will win, so he looks at the world and never really admires anyone.
The soldiers of the silent army in the rear, their eyes flashed even more fiercely, but there was a faint look of admiration.
Tie Xingze was already shocked with anger.
Not only does he kill people, but he also burns corpses!
Gong Yin didn't pay attention to him at all, and without any fluctuations in his expression, he stretched out his hand, pulled out a pile of burning leaves and branches from the fire line behind him, and threw it on the group of dead Guancheng guards.
Before closing the city, killing the guards of the gate who came to greet him is equivalent to closing the gate of the city by himself, does he want to be here, suffer the enemy on his back, and kill himself?
His eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't understand what Gong Yin was going to do.
After a long time, Tie Xingze slowly turned his head, looked at Gong Yin incredulously, and his voice was hoarse, "You...... Why do you ......?"
In the distance, the silent army was still as silent as the distant mountains and like the abyss, only the light in everyone's eyes flashed slightly, I don't know whether they were proud or surprised.
The shock was so great that Tie Xingze even forgot to look back at Gong Yin, and above the city, someone shouted in surprise.
There was a ridge of ice on their chests, blocking the blood from spurting wildly.
Tie Xingze's eyes widened, looking at the guards and soldiers in front of him, just as he was about to bow respectfully, they suddenly all fell backwards.
Eighteen blood rainbows squirted.
The white ice edges tear through the quiet dusk, the bright spring is about to fall in the snow, those cold lights flash in the pupils for just a moment, and the next moment will bring up a blood rainbow like a neon sunset.
The snow flashed.
This was the precursor of Gong Yin's move, he was startled, and hurriedly turned around, "Don't-"
Then he felt that the temperature around him had dropped suddenly, like a sudden snow in March, a chill, and a sharp sword was pressing behind him.
Tie Xingze took a step forward and was about to speak happily, when he suddenly heard behind him, Gong Yin sighed softly.
Not far from the city, the rest of the defenders also discovered the movement here, and they were all probing their brains.
The general of Guancheng galloped to the front, saw Tie Xingze clearly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "King! How do you get here? How did it become like this? As he spoke, he was about to dismount, and ordered the soldiers around him to dismount and greet him.
Gong Yin raised his head and glanced at the group of people who came on horseback, and he didn't know if it was because of the angle of light, but the faces were shining as pale as iron in the twilight.
Tie Xingze breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mo Jun wasted his efforts, he can't stop us in the end." ”
The guard of the gate city recognized it at a glance and was very shocked, and hurriedly led the soldiers to turn around again and face Tie Xingze.
Tie Xingze had already taken out the Great King's Order, and placed it flat in his palm, the heavy iron was still black, and the black tiger-shaped royal seal was shining in the dim sunlight.
The group of Guancheng soldiers turned around in amazement, and Gong Yin's expression was slightly shocked at a glance.
"Wait!" Tie Xingze chased forward, and while reaching into his arms, he took out the king's seal letter, and shouted: "Switch!" Welcome the king back home! ”
Gong Yin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the complexion on the man's face.
The two of them landed and saw the guard turn around.
At this time, Gong Yin and Tie Xingze had already crossed the fog with bated breath, planning to wait for this group of people to stay away from the danger area before reporting their identities to them.
The group of people also found that something was wrong, and when one of them shouted loudly, Huo Ran turned his horse and turned his head, and retreated with all the soldiers.
At this time, the wind direction was facing Guancheng, and the gray mist rushed directly to the group of Guancheng soldiers after the flames.
Those people had already seen his gesture, and although they couldn't see who it was, they also noticed a row of flames in front of them, and behind the flames there seemed to be a layer of gray mist swimming slowly, which looked very strange, so they hesitated to rein in their horses.
He had no choice but to jump to his feet, clenching his mouth and nose as he took off his coat and waved it vigorously and made a "danger" gesture to signal the men to leave first.
He identified himself, and the defenders of Guancheng would pour out of the nest and take him back to China, but the number of defenders of Guancheng was generally not large, only about 500. Once all the people are out, if all the plots die here, who will light the beacon fire?
Tie Xingze originally wanted to meet those people and show his identity, but he didn't dare at this time.
Tie Xingze's face changed greatly, he understood what Mo Jun meant, these people knew that they couldn't stop the two of them from running to Guancheng, once they ran to Guancheng, there would be a lot of variables behind them, so they simply took their salaries from the bottom of the kettle and lured the people in Guancheng out to kill.
There was an army in front of the gate, and someone set fire, and the city had the responsibility of guarding the pass, and it was inevitable to come out to check.
Tie Xingze held his breath, looked back, and saw that the gate of Guancheng was wide open, and dozens of horses galloped out.
With the firelight, Gong Yin's face changed slightly, and he said, "Hold your breath!" ”
The rocket once again flew far above their heads, and landed three feet behind them over the black fog net, instantly setting fire to a field of dead grass and opening a bright red line of fire.
The rocket burned for a long time at sunset, the flames were dazzling, and Tie Xingze and Gong Yin didn't move this time, because they had already found that the rocket, like the black fog net just now, was not facing them.
The figures on the city were running more eagerly, and the sound of the horn opening the city gate was heard.
At dusk, the sky lit up with a new glow, and the sun burned through the sky for a long time.
Suddenly, there was another "Shoot!" from the opposite side. A row of knights stepped back, a row of knights stood up, and the people who stood up bent their bows and arrows to ignite, and with a "bang" in unison, a row of rockets was fired.
"There's no point in talking about it now." Gong Yin's eyes looked through the wire mesh and looked at Guancheng not far away, there was a lot of movement here, Guancheng had already noticed it, and the figure on the head of the city was shaking, and it seemed that there would be a move.
"Probably one of the secret weapons of the Silent Army." Tie Xingze grinned bitterly, "The Mo Army has some weapons that are unique to them, which belong to the top secrets of the Mo Army, and it is said that these secrets should be sent to me, but in fact I didn't receive them. I thought that my succession time was still short, but now that I think about it, this is one of the clues of the rebellion of the Mo army, but I hated that I didn't expect it. ”
"What is this?" Gong Yin had no intention of acting rashly, he stared cautiously at the swaying nets.
Tie Xingze's face was very solemn, he grabbed Gong Yin, and said in a low voice: "Be careful!" ”
But this kind of design doesn't seem to have any effect on Gong Yin and Tie Xingze, because they can go around, they can abandon their horses, they can easily cross with light effort, and they won't touch this terrifying-looking thing at all.
These foggy nets stretch into a barrier about a few zhang long. blocked Gong Yin and Tie Xingze's way to Guancheng.
Those things looked slender and long, and after entering the ground, they burrowed a foot into the ground, and then popped open, turning into a swaying black wire net, which looked a bit like the kind of wire mesh that had been shot into the big tree where Jing Hengbo had been staying, but the wisps of the net emitted a gray mist, which seemed very ominous.
But what they threw had already ejected, because it was not aimed at Gong Yin and Tie Xingze at all, so Gong Yin ejected the ice ridge that he wanted to stop, but he couldn't hit the target, and those black lines were far above their heads and fell ten zhang behind them.
Gong Yin raised his hand, and the ice edge between his palms flew into the sky, flashing into the sky, and most of the knights who pounced on him fell down one after another.
When the two of them looked back, they saw the group of knights on the horse in front of them, suddenly flying up, and they were in the air, raising their arms and throwing them. There was a buzzing sound, and black lines flew out and whistled through the sky.
Sure enough, behind him, those silent soldiers who were already chasing him not far away, suddenly let out a long shout in unison.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both knew the meaning of this sentence. Once Tie Xingze enters the pass, it will be more difficult for the Mo army to kill him, so before this pass, the Mo army will definitely be desperate.
"It seems close, but it's actually far away," Tie Xingze sighed.
The two of them looked up and saw the green Shentieguan City, standing in the field of vision. After that, a round of remnant sun was obliquely picked.
Tie Xingze also smiled slightly, and suddenly said, "Guancheng is almost here." ”
Then he heard Gong Yin say clearly: "Yes." ”
Even Tie Xingze couldn't help but be stunned.
He smiled, like the golden light of the sun suddenly falling on the snowy peak, or the flowers of all things in the heavens and the earth, the cold rain suddenly soft as silk, and the moon flowing slowly from the end of the sky like a river.
After a while, Gong Yin actually smiled.
Gong Yin turned his head and stared at him deeply, and Tie Xingze met his gaze.
Tie Xingze was quiet, the pursuers behind him were like thunderstorms, the wind and smoke were like mountains, and in the hustle and bustle of those chases, he finally asked cautiously: "Is it me?" ”
"They're not my friends." Gong Yin didn't have a guilty look, and looked up at the snow-white mountains in the distance, "My childhood friend, there is only one." ”
"You're really bad at the scenery." Tie Xingze laughed, paused and suddenly said, "What second egg iron bull?" It seems to be an iron egg, right? You really, and you say that you have a deep memory, and you can't remember the names of your childhood friends. ”
"I only seem to have a strong memory of death." Gong Yin said lightly, "For example, the second egg who was killed, and the iron bull." ”
"I remember it clearly." Tie Xingze's complexion recovered a little, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "At the age of ten, we separated, and at the age of twenty, I went from Shen Tie to Emperor Ge to be your proton, but I didn't care much about the things in the middle, and I still felt that my childhood was the most innocent and innocent." ”
Gong Yin's eyes seemed to soften, and said, "I don't remember those things when I was a child. ”
After finishing, he threw the box and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered that back then, once we fell off a cliff on the mountain, half starved to death, you went to find food, and threw it to me like this, and when I finished eating, I knew that the food was so ordered, and you looked for a whole half a day." ”
Tie Xingze held the reins with one hand, opened the box, saw a snow-white pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.
He glanced at Tie Xingze, threw over a small box, and said, "Eat." ”
Gong Yin on the horse next to him was okay, fighting for a day and night, except for making his face a little paler, he didn't see too much embarrassment.
After a day of driving, Tie Xingze's face was already covered with a layer of loess, which was condensed by the sweat on his forehead, and he could hardly distinguish his original face.
Fortunately, the goal of the two of them was not to get rid of the silent army, but to take them farther and farther.
As a killer army, the Mo army is good at battle formations and tracking, and this thousands of miles of wasteland is unsheltered, and the Mo army has blocked the road that may lead to the mountain next to it in advance, so Gong Yin and Tie Xingze have been chased for a whole day, and they have never been able to get rid of the Mo army.
The Mo army's pursuit of Gong Yin and Tie Xingze has already spanned half of the wasteland.
Two horses and two clouds of smoke, on the pale yellow earth, open a straight and lonely line, behind is filled with a large area of dark yellow mist, carefully look at not the fog, is the soaring wind and smoke, raised from the bottom of the horse's hooves, in the smoke and dust of the sky, revealing countless knights.
At the junction of tortoiseshell and sinking iron, there is a large nameless wasteland, and the wasteland is barren and pale yellow in the sun.
