Prologue Chapter 66 Ancient Secret Realm IX Shangri-La
watched a war, Su Wenhua as a hundred thousand why. Several teammates heard his questioning as if they had been arraigned. Fortunately, his teammates knew that his mental state was a little abnormal, and no one wanted a legendary cruel and indiscriminate god and demon to suddenly appear around him, so they pinched their noses and helped him answer his questions, even for fear that he would not understand.
After listening to Huang He's judgment, Su Wen also squatted down to look at the horse manure and footprints, and just raised his head to look at everyone with his eyebrows twisted. Su Mei instantly turned on the rush mode: "Let me tell you: Before the military horses are ready to fight, in addition to feeding alfalfa, they mainly feed hay. In addition, it is supplemented by a large amount of millet, millet and other grains to fatten. These war horses are well fed, fat and healthy, they can not only endure hunger, but also carry heavy loads to travel far away, which is conducive to long-distance running. Looking at the condition of the horses, you can see that this battle has been prepared for a long time. ”
There are terrifying legends of mad demons circulating everywhere, and Huang He is also worried about his situation when he encounters Su Wen in the future. Dead Dao friends don't die in the poor Dao, let Su Wen sum up some experience first, and treat him especially seriously in the past two days, first point out the traces that Su Wen should pay attention to, and add: "If it is a place like our border city that produces little grain, we can only attack from afar when the autumn is high and the horse is fat." These tiger cavalry were not qualified rangers at all, and they actually lost the millet, millet and hay of the horses. It can be seen from the feces that the war horses have eaten grass in the past two days, and the grass contains a lot of water and is not resistant to hunger. If they want to move forward tomorrow, they must feed the horses today. Feed some hay at night. Otherwise, the soldiers will not be able to last long. ”
Su Wen drew inferences from each other and understood why the northern nomads attacked the Central Plains in the autumn, and the Central Plains regime chose to attack the north in the spring. One took advantage of the high autumn horse fat, plundered and avoided the winter snow on the grassland by the way. One is the winter horses, and the summer grain is ripe on the return trip.
Stood up and took the sight to look into the distance, turned his head and asked Su Mei, "There will be no problem when you meet these people, right?" Su Mei rolled her eyes and said: "I have said it several times, Tang Ruirui's token can only distinguish between friend and foe, and cannot ask for help, but the sign given by my mother can ask for help." It's just that these people lost the battle, who knows what they think?"
Zhang Ziling, who was well versed in political affairs, knew that some defeated soldiers were afraid of going back to be punished, and they were worried about affecting the family, so he simply went to work as a grass coward, and did not agree to meet with this team of tigers, and said: "We have few people, so let's go over secretly." This team is a remnant of the defeated army, and the people's hearts are not ancient, who knows what will happen?"
Even Tang Ruirui persuaded: "It's good for us to hide when we meet someone, I think it's better not to cause more trouble." ”
Although everyone was unanimous, Su Wen couldn't bear to keep this group of cavalry lost. I was not in a hurry, so I simply let everyone stay behind and go up to negotiate by myself. The opposing horses did not dare to enter the swamp, and if the situation was not good, they could rush into the swamp.
The young cavalry stood on horseback once more, and this time he found that there were people running in the road like antelopes with a very rhythmic pace, and although they did not look fast, the length and swing of each step were steady like a ruler. The appearance of such a person in such a place is indeed strange. The young cavalry couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts and hurriedly gestured to warn them. The teammates received the warning, and suddenly there was chaos in the camp, some people were taking saddles, and some people were looking for horses. There were also people shouting loudly, and the generals were also messed up, constantly asking what was going on.
The young cavalryman knew that the army's heart had been broken, and his heart was crossed, and he rushed to the man with a bow and a horse. This move attracted the attention of the robe, and several people jumped directly on the back of the bareback horse, clamped the horse between their legs, and responded in response. One hundred and fifty paces away, it was vaguely clear that this was a young knight, preparing to hold a bow. But he saw the man stop, draw a crossbow, and aim it at himself from a distance. The young man's hair stood on end inexplicably, as if he was being targeted by a demon beast, and no matter how far away he was, it was not safe. With a robe behind him, the cavalry let go of his hands to show that he had no hostility. The man motioned for him to go alone, but his teammates were not at ease and rode their horses to follow. The man raised his hand and shot a crossbow, and in an instant a short steel arrow arrived in front of him, the cavalry avoided it, raised his hand shield, and with a "dang" sound, the steel arrow bullet fell to the ground, and when he looked at it, it was an empty arrow shaft without an arrow cluster.
Several people looked at each other, and their eyes were full of fear. I just feel that if he has the intention to kill, with a few people like himself, I am afraid that there will be no chance to rush to him. The young knight was heartbroken, and he struck his horse forward. When he came to a close place, he didn't dare to dismount, and he clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Tiger Benlang Li Gu, I've seen a chivalrous man." At the same time, I looked at this person carefully, and I only felt that he was like a standing leopard demon, full of power. There was a polite smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, but fortunately there was no hostility. Su Wen held the compound crossbow, nodded to him and said, "My name is Su Wen, I am a reference martial artist, I saw you going around, come and ask if you are lost?" Here is a map, and a token for you, so that your generals will not recognize it." With that, he threw the map and token over. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he remembered something and said, "Oh yes, let him go back and hand over the token to General Le Dianle of the Yulin Army." After saying that, he turned around and threw himself into the artemisia grass of the swamp, jumped a few times, sank into the depths of the grass, and disappeared.
When the robes saw the man walking away, they gathered around. Only then did the three officers come on horseback, take the token and the map, and confirm that they were correct. When he was desperate and met a haunting, impatient and righteous fairyman, he inevitably praised him and secretly surprised at the same time.
Su Wen didn't go far, he was sticking one leg in the swamp, scolding bad luck in his mouth. Take a deep breath, flatten your body to increase the force area, and slowly pull out your legs while grabbing the grass roots.
When he returned to the team, the appearance of a mud monkey first startled people, and then caused everyone to laugh....
Follow the hoof prints of the cavalry on the steppe for two days, and follow the map markings to find another road to the mountains. After another day's walking, we finally arrived at a supply site. Su Wentou led the way to climb a mountain, the maple leaves in front of him reflected the frost red, and the sunset of a river was thick... The maple leaves in the sunset stain the whole valley red, and the maple forest in the valley hides a quiet and rustic old town. The walls are high and the city is deep, and the walls are surrounded by a jade-like river. The ancient city is embedded in the red leaves and green grass, which seems quiet and serene, just like the subtle emotion and delicate euphemistic expression, full of the unique romance of the East.
Su Wen stood for a moment and exclaimed: "It is indeed a happy land that can give birth to human civilization." Then he slowly pronounced the word "Shangri-La".
Su Mei was also shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her, listening to Shangri-La's good sound, learning to read it again, only to feel the tip of the tongue, as if spitting out a poem. Although I don't know what "Shangri-La" means, I also understand that it is to praise this paradise.
There are many houses in the city, and the architectural style is similar to the first ruin, which is supposed to be left by the same civilization. There were two temples in the city, standing side by side in the center of the ruins. There was no sign of human activity, and a few people quietly approached the majestic city walls. It was easy to find a supply point near the city gate, but the wooden crates inside were empty. Looking at the footprints on the ground, there should be more than one team that has been here.
A few people didn't dare to be careless, so they found a bunker-like house again and hid in. When night fell, seeing that there was no fire in the city, he was relieved and was about to make a fire, but there was a dense sound of horses' hooves at the city gate. Su Mei made a look, and Huang He jumped off the bunker by moonlight and sneaked over. It wasn't until someone on the city wall lit a fire to cook that Huang He sneaked back and said with a serious expression: "10 people, not our people." Zhao Shu was conscious, and said busily: "My people are dead, and they are not my people." ”
Zhang Ziling signaled to be quiet, this ruin is huge in scale and there are many hiding places, so he decided not to startle the snake first, and wait and see what happens.
The two teams were too close, and Su Wen had learned the lesson of Su Xiancheng, and he was worried that someone in the city would ambush him. Take advantage of the darkness to let everyone move to the temple. The temple is condescending and has the advantage of location. The stairs on both sides, as long as you don't encounter a large group of people, it is also convenient to run.
I didn't dare to take the main road in the middle of the city, and explored the road in front of the head of the Yellow River, and everyone followed through the streets and alleys. The cold moonlight was blocked by the houses, and the light in the alleys was extremely poor. In some places, he couldn't see his five fingers, and after Su Mei kicked a few stones, he couldn't leave. Su Wen had no choice but to give her her arm and let her hang it on her arm and move forward in the dark.
This place is a valley, the ground is slippery, and the alleys are unpredictable and terrifying. A gust of wind blew through the abandoned houses and alleys, making a ghostly cry wolf. The doorway of the roadside house had long since rotted, and only a hole remained, and the house looked like a bodyless monster, with its mouth wide open to devour people. In the distance, the screams of night owls could be heard, as if someone was laughing strangely. Zhang Ziling stubbornly pulled Zhao Shu to grope forward, Tang Ruirui was not a bold person, so she had to pull Zhao Shu's sleeve and tremble.
Su Mei was a bold man, but she was also frightened by the thousand-year-old ruins. The two arms tightly encircled Su Wen's arms, and the cold wind and cold air that blew from time to time behind him didn't dare to look back at all. Su Wen is an atheist, of course, there is nothing to fear, just afraid of encountering enemies, like Tibetans, he sheds half of his fur fur and stretches out his arms to facilitate movement. Now the arm is hugged by Su Mei, and the two full balls are squeezed around. It is the age of the blood and energy, and he is not a hairy guy, and he will be upset after a while. Secretly complained: Why can't you be more open-minded? Don't you know that the flatter the heart, the closer it is to the heart? It's not good to throw her away, so you can only bend down and walk. Thankfully, at night, no one noticed his anomaly.
Su Wen also knows the folk customs here, and he doesn't have a good impression of Yanagishita Hui. Just think that love should be pure, otherwise how to face the person you love? The soul has nowhere to place, let alone face itself. Love has changed its taste, what is the meaning of life?
Reason told him that he shouldn't have an affair with Su Mei. However, in the current situation, people are like an autumn leaf in the whirlpool, and they can't help themselves. Only by constantly reminding yourself that you can't let go of your emotions and keep the last trace of clarity on the spiritual platform. But looking at Su Mei's eyes, they became more and more hot. The girl was more sensitive, Su Mei was vaguely aware of something, and felt that his strong arms were safe, forgetting to be afraid of the environment, burying a hotter pretty face in Su Wen's arms, and leaning closer to her body, as if only two people snuggled together could continue the heaviness of life......
As he was in the middle of the ambiguity, a rhythmic nightingale was heard in front of him. Several people quickly hid into the houses on the side of the road and held their breath.
After a while, a group of people quietly appeared in the alley. There were no torches, and there were countless people in the dark. The group walked outside the hiding house and suddenly stopped! Su Wen held the short spear in both hands and bowed down, ready to strike a thunderous blow at any time. The atmosphere gradually became tense, except for Su Mei, everyone was sweating in their hands.
Thankfully, the men didn't notice the anomaly, and just stopped outside the walls and whispered. One person whispered, "The temple is hollow, and there is a human-faced butterfly statue inside, and there are many strange stone eggs. I don't know if it's a found thing?" another scolded, "What can you do with the stone eggs.....?" "No, I didn't find the armory, "..."It's strange, didn't you say that the artifact was found near the temple?Why didn't you see a few of them?" Another person interjected: "Let's go... There are a group of people on the city wall, and there are still a group of people on the city wall, I don't know if they are friends or foes, we have to go over and keep an eye on them. After saying that, the footsteps gradually faded away....
......
There are really people in the city! A few people had a brief discussion, Zhang Ziling suggested hiding first, Su Wen was decisively opposed, although he had never fought, the battlefield cultivated by the game consciously told Su Wen, there is no vision to play a yarn? Everyone had to prepare for the battle, preparing for a fight with the people who stayed behind in the temple. Touching the vicinity of the temple, Su Wen arranged for everyone to ambush on all sides, throwing stones to scare the grass and snakes, all kinds of displacement and displacement, bluffing, and all the grass and trees... In the end, Zhao Shu was fooled into performing a beauty trick.
Zhao Shu, who was dressed in cool clothes, ran to the top of the temple, swaying around the temple in the moonlight, playing a few spins like a fairy flying into the sky, and in an instant she danced the phoenix again. The cool and cold moon sprinkled on her bumpy figure, like the goddess of Wushan, makes people think about it. Zhao Shu was quite interested, and performed the temptation and dance of an emperor's inner palace to the extreme, until she had a runny nose and sneezed again and again, she realized that the cold wind was cold, and rushed to Su Wen to settle accounts with her shoulders.....
I wanted to plan and make a plan, through the darkness to the underworld, so that the servants could be safe, and the disobedient would be in trouble, but I didn't expect that there would be no enemies nearby, and it turned into a farce. Su Wen was extremely embarrassed, and squeezed out a smile to apologize to Zhao Shu. Others, however, feasted their eyes on the beautiful food and feasted their eyes. Even Tang Ruirui looked straight, and couldn't help asking herself, is it bending? Is it bending? Or is it bending? Su Mei looked frustrated, touching her buttocks for a while, looking at her chest for a while, and her aggrieved eyes turned red.
It was a different story on the city walls, staring at the temple between the two cold moons. There is a figure that is so angry that it does not look like a human being, bathed in the cold moonlight, floating and going like a ghost, doing countless seductive gestures of immortals or demons, and every movement can make people feel her emptiness. The men in the team couldn't help but want to fill her void, and before they knew it, their mouths were dry, and their chests and abdomen seemed to be burning with fire. The women in the team chattered their frightened teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "Ghost or fox fairy?" These words were poured like ice water, and the fire of primitive desire that the men had just ignited was extinguished in an instant. Someone chimed in: "That's right, Leng Cheng is like this, how can there be a beautiful girl who doesn't wear cotton clothes in this ghost place? It must be a ghost!!"
Someone else said quietly: "I heard.... Ghosts want to suck people's yang energy..."
A young man's voice sounded weakly: "I am still a child..... Can you ward off evil spirits?"
There was also an obvious voice that was strong on the outside and on the inside: "Don't be afraid, Lao Tzu is full of yang, I heard that ghosts are afraid of yang energy.."
"Don't you look where this is? I'm afraid this demon is more than a thousand years old... Just your little bit of yang... Huh"
There is also a commendable man with courage: "! Life is short, Lao Tzu would rather die on the belly of this demon girl, you don't rob it, if you want to die, Lao Tzu will be the first to go on..."
A calm young woman scolded: "Bah, you just made the old lady can't get up to the bottom, you have a fart! I'm afraid that someone will pretend to be a ghost, so hurry up and change places." ”
The group extinguished the fire and slipped away somewhere in the night.... After a while, several figures touched the city wall, but they didn't find anyone, and they were horrified..... Not daring to stay, he retreated again. The dark night killings of the ruins came and went, but until the early hours of the morning, there was no fight.
The sky appeared to turn the belly white, and then the first morning glow dyed the clouds blood-colored, and in a short time, the sun rose, and half of the sky was covered with blood. Zhang Ziling, who was keeping vigil, muttered: "Bloody killing heaven ....."
Before dawn, several teams of people rushed to the temple together, Zhang Ziling immediately woke everyone up, and saw that there were many people, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous. Huang He comforted him and said: "There are only two stone ladders, Su Mei and I guard one, and the three of you guard one." Rest assured, no one is coming. After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu immediately expressed her determination: "I don't want to be a second-hand prisoner." Su Mei glanced at her and handed her a demon pill.
Su Wen said: "Don't expose it, these people are not all the way" As soon as the words fell, two teams of people had already collided together at the corner of the street under the temple. There were five people on both sides, and after saying a few words, probably not speculatively, they shouted, threw off their fur fur or cotton robes, revealed a short suit, and fought in an instant.
There are three men and two women on the left, the woman is wearing an arrow suit, a short bow and a long arrow. Two stout men with short knives and large shields in front of them, while the other man with a spear in the back and left and right.
On the right are five young men with beautiful faces, all with arms and shields and long bows, but their bodies are a little thin.
The two sides first shot each other around the corner, and the five archers on the right side pressed each other behind the shield with a rain of arrows.
The man with the gun on the left saw that the opponent was in strong armor and had a sharp bow and arrows. lest they be defeated from afar. With a shout, he pushed the shield man on his shoulder and rushed over, and the two female archers took advantage of the opponent's arrows and quickly shot a round of cover, also pressing the other behind the shield.
The two sides were only separated by a street corner, and the distance was too close, seeing that the opponent's shield was pushed flat, they could only go up to the front two and hold the shoulders of their teammates in the front row. Immediately after that, the four shields collided, making a "bang" sound. The left side was three against four, and they actually had the upper hand, pushing the four people on the right to keep retreating.
Tang Ruirui let out an exclamation, "The woman is going to lose!" Su Mei looked carefully and said, "Not necessarily, the girl in the back hasn't made a move yet." ”
Su Wen took out the sights, glanced at them, and couldn't help but say, "There is an acquaintance on the right, I'll go!" What a girl. "Hurriedly set up the compound crossbow and prepared to help.
Su Mei was furious, and secretly cursed in her heart: Beast! You know all the mothers, and they only mess with flowers everywhere...
