The three of them looked around, and their eyes were full of fear. And Cheng Gong, who was reckless just now, slowly woke up from the ground at this time, and looked up to see it, but he didn't dare to move.

"Do you still like this to introduce you into the urn?" Ma Zhiji's tone was a little irrepressible excitement and arrogance, and he turned his head to look at Captain Li, with a kind of indifference to the dead man. The three of them already knew in their hearts that if they fought hard, they would be shot into hedgehogs in an instant, and if they were caught, they would not be far from death.

At this time, although Cheng Gong is awake, his back has been dyed red, and if he is not treated as soon as possible, he may be more than lucky.

Ma Zhiji ignored the worries of the three of them, but pointed to the twelve pillars, "You can see the ceremony today, which is a blessing from the cultivation of three lives." However, the next ceremony still needs the participation of the four of you. ”

After the words were finished, Ma Zhi raised his arm, and immediately four crossbowmen stepped forward to disarm and urged the three of them to walk towards the pillar. And lying on the ground dying, no one cares. It seems that the moment he was shot by a crossbow arrow, he was already equivalent to a dead man.

The three of them came to the left side of the pillar, turned their heads to look behind the pillar, and an unimaginable picture appeared in front of the three of them. Behind the pillar is a deep pit of more than ten zhang, which is covered with thatch. But on the thatch, there were countless disemboweled, one by one, naked, their eyes wide, their faces full of unwillingness, and they reached out to grab the sky.

Xu was momentarily stagnant before he died, and after the body stiffened, he kept it all the time, as if he wanted to grasp the last hope of life. But what puzzled the three of them was that there was no smell of blood in the pit. If it weren't for that, you should have been vigilant just now, and you wouldn't have been "made dumplings" without knowing it.

And the smell that emanates from the pit at this time is a faint sweet fragrance, which makes people feel like they are immediately rushing into it. Captain Li shook his head vigorously, trying to break free from this impulsive feeling, but the voice of the horse holding the halberd came at this time, "Don't struggle, you have inhaled too much, and you have no power to return to the sky." Even if I don't do it, you'll become like them."

"Why, why do you do this?" Huang Wanli ignored Chen Asan's dissuasion, raised his hand and pointed at Ma Zhi.

But before he could answer, a crossbow arrow took the lead and shot through his arm, so that Huang Wanli had to cover his wound and grit his teeth. He didn't want to show weakness in front of the enemy, but it was too stupid to ask just now.

As if he had felt that the victory was in hand, Ma Zhiji raised his hand to signal the crossbowmen not to act rashly, and looked at Huang Wanli with a ghostly smile on his face, "Do you know that today is Menglan Festival?" ”

Huang Wanli just gritted his teeth and stared at Ma Zhiji, but he didn't say a word. And Chen Asan beside him said at this time: "So what? What's the point with you doing all these things? ”

"Little brother, I appreciate your courage. But today's ritual is something you can't understand. Only when it is done, can Rucheng grow stronger, no longer afraid of foreign enemies, and achieve immortal achievements. The more Ma Zhi said, the more excited he became, his hands raised, and he began to shake wildly.

And the twelve white-clothed men in front of the pillar next to the three of them opened the box and took out the contents of the box almost at the same time.

Ma Zhi's halberd stopped shaking, and his hands struck again. This time the sound echoed in the wilderness, and it seemed to exhaust all the strength of the body. But his expression became more and more hideous, "Let you wait for ordinary people to see what the power of the Immortal Mountain is." ”

The twelve white-clothed men evenly applied the objects in their hands to the wounds of the bloody men on the pillar, and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what their intentions were. Judging from the expression of the horse halberd, it seems that this ceremony is about to be completed here.

After the twelve men had done all this, they stood back by the pillar, and with a wave of their halberds, they shouted, "Burn!" ”

The remaining crossbowmen, out of nowhere, found a torch and walked quickly towards the pit behind the pillar, throwing the torches into the pit one after another. At this time, the three of them realized that they were going to burn the corpse. Captain Li was already furious, and scolded: "They are already dead, why are you still doing the act of killing people and burning corpses, are you not afraid of heaven and earth?" ”

"Heaven and earth are destroyed? Hahahaha, Li Chun, have you ever seen ghosts and gods in the army all these years? Where did the heavens and the earth come from? I just follow my heart, take refuge in Penglai Immortal Mountain, and do the good deeds of Pudu sentient beings, not so unbearable as you say. It's just that you and other mortals won't understand. Ma Zhiji said contemptuously, and pointed to Cheng Gong not far away, signaling to throw him down together.

At this moment, Cheng Gong, who was still dying just now, suddenly jumped up from the ground, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and grabbed the halberd of the horse that had not yet reacted, and raised his hand to stab it. But before he could get up and drop his sword, the crossbowmen around him had already gone on vacation and shot him into a "hedgehog".

And what makes people feel sad is that the horse under him is not damaged at all. After pushing Cheng Gong away suddenly, he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and put it on the blood stain again, and put it under his nose to smell, "The smell of losers, tsk." ”

This scene completely broke the tense nerves of the three of them, and they became hysterical from the initial hesitation. Lieutenant Li took the lead in attacking, pulled out the crossbow hand next to him and hung his saber at his waist, and a donkey rolled to the man in white, and raised his hand to cut him down on the spot.

But what makes people wonder is that the rest of the people in white are all blind and indifferent to this person's death. Seeing this, Ma Zhiji was already angry, and ordered the three people to be shot to death with arrows.

Huang Wanli and Chen Asan also drew their knives almost at the same time, but instead of slashing the crossbowmen beside them, they blocked in front of them and carried the first round of arrow rain. At this time, the three of them had become the target of everyone, and Ma Zhizhu clamored to break them into pieces.

Just when the second round of arrow rain was coming, the three of them looked at each other and as soon as they combined, they drilled into the artemisia grass next to the pillar and disappeared without a trace. The group of crossbowmen watched the three of them escape, but there was no way at all.

Ma Zhiji was already so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he made a difficulty in chasing or not chasing. At this time, the ritual in front of you is about to be achieved, and it is important not to lose the big because of the small.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhiji ordered one of them to lead ten crossbowmen to continue the pursuit, and the rest of the men were on guard here, so that the three would not go and return. Ma Zhiji caught a glimpse of Cheng Gong, who was already dead of anger at his feet, viciously grabbed the horizontal knife on his side, cut off his head with a knife, and threw it aside, which eased his mood a little.

The three of them ran for their lives, looking for the direction they had come. Suddenly, there was a hissing sound not far away, and the three of them suddenly felt happy in their hearts and rushed towards the sound. When the three of them saw the person in front of them, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. The person who came was the general of the cavalry who had not returned from his inspection elsewhere not long ago, and he was leading a group of light horsemen to rush towards this side.

When he saw the embarrassed appearance of the three people, he immediately became vigilant and ordered the guards beside him to secretly touch over to solve the worries of the three people. Then he asked, "But what trouble did you encounter?" ”

Although Captain Li was out of breath, he still tried his best to suppress the indignation in his heart, and said loudly: "General Hui, the town guard has been reversed, and Ma Zhiji is doing that evil thing two miles away. After Captain Li finished speaking, Huang Wanli and Chen Asan also nodded again and again.

When the cavalry general came, he already knew a thing or two, and when he saw the appearance of the three of them, he also knew seven, seven, eight, eight. After a short time, the guard turned back, clasped his fists and said loudly: "General Qiyu, all the crossbowmen in the ambush have been killed, but the subordinates have not startled the snakes, and the flames are rising not far away, and something big should happen." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, the cavalry general motioned to the accompanying light cavalry to take the three people, and then rode his horse and whip to rush into the artemisia grass first, wanting to rush in the direction of the firelight. And the horse holding the halberd, still immersed in the ceremony and unable to extricate himself, but he never expected that before the ceremony was really completed, his raised arm was carried away by a gust of wind.

The cavalry general tightened the reins, raised his sword and pointed at the horse's halberd, and shouted: "Ma Changxun, are you doing that evil thing here?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Ma Zhiji was stunned by the scene in front of him at first, he never expected that the general would come so quickly. He didn't expect that his careful layout was actually "praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind". If this is the case, then the town guard may be trying to coax the three of them to come, perhaps to make them outcasts.

At this time, Ma Zhiji, who was missing an arm, had fallen into madness, and he ignored the question of the cavalry general, but kept urging the remaining white-clothed people to complete the ceremony quickly.

At present, the situation was quickly reversed, and the three of them were brought back here, and they saw Cheng Gong's body lying on the ground from a distance.

When Huang Wanli and Chen Asan saw this scene, they also slowly slid off their horses and stood still, looking at this man who was not smiling, but showed his true feelings to them.

Ma Zhiji did not wait to be killed, but ran quickly towards the fire pit, and kept shouting, "Penglai Immortal Mountain will punish the evildoers." The voice was still drifting, and the man had already jumped into the fire pit. Captain Li couldn't cry anymore, he and Cheng Gong were fellow villagers, but no one knew.

And Cheng Gong did not rely on this relationship to show off his might, but when he was on the night, when he chatted with Captain Li, he would talk about his hometown. Captain Li didn't want to return to his hometown, every time he asked those new soldiers who joined the army, he also wanted to comfort his heart.

This kind of indescribable, but irrepressible emotion was stirring in everyone's hearts at this time with the catharsis of Captain Li. This kind of being in a foreign land, the same country is better than a relative. Maybe they're each other's only relatives. But now, this loved one died in front of him, and he couldn't do anything about it, how could this not be heartbreaking......

The man in white next to the pillar escaped from the short blade in his sleeve when everyone watched the horse and halberd run into the fire pit, cut his throat one after another, and then leaned back to the fire pit behind him. It seems that he doesn't want to say a word more until he dies. The cavalry general looked at the naked people on the pillars, and ordered the accompanying guards to push the people into the fire pit with the pillars.

Huang Wanli saw this move and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.
