Chapter 56: Goodwill

"These people are so cruel that they even kill their own people!"

"This is too inhumane, I knew that it would be better to leave those people as slaves for us than to put them back to die"

"It's unreasonable, killing your own people so hard! What kind of country is this? ”

"Don't sigh, let's figure out what's going on first! We don't even understand their language! You have to figure out their language before you think about anything else! ”

Looking at the killed natives, everyone in the Liang army began to discuss, and the surviving natives did not seem to be very sad.

However, the language barrier makes it impossible to communicate at all, and everyone is at a loss for how to master the language of the natives.

At the critical moment, Hongrui took out her clothes and jewelry and walked up to a young woman among the natives.

Hongrui pointed to her hair and nodded, and the young woman began to speak, and then began to ask about everything from clothes, to cats and dogs, wooden bowls for eating, wooden buckets for water, doors and houses.

"Please come up with something that the natives also have, only such a thing can be learned one thing at a time, starting from the nose and eyes, and not letting go of the same!"

Under the guidance of Hongrui, the Turen also began to learn Chinese, and after half a month, Hongrui could almost understand many of the words of the Turen.

In the past half a month, Li Xiaofei personally led ten cavalry and 100 infantry to the south for 300 miles, and encountered a lot of fleeing natives along the way.

Three hundred miles away, there was a place where hundreds of stone statues were erected, and the natives who had been incorporated knelt down when they saw the stone statues and did not advance, and the Liang army was also like a great enemy, and lined up around the stone statues.

These stone statues are almost as high, close to three feet or so, and their hands and feet are all outlined in stone, only the head is finely carved, and the eyeballs are actually inlaid with red gems.

Li Xiaofei looked at the dense and tall stone statue, there seemed to be someone inside, and then turned around and told everyone

"Be careful, there must be a formation here! Don't just break in! You must know that Zhuge Liang's eight array diagram almost trapped Lu Xun to death! ”

"Master Li, will you be Qimen Dunjia? And what is the art of Liuding Liujia? ”

"Master Li, this stone statue array is too weird, let's stay away from him!"

"I think these stone statues are quite evil, these natives are kneeling on the ground and don't dare to move, so let's stand back! I can't figure out what's really scary in there! ”

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and a large area of black oppressive things burst out of the stone statue array, causing the war horse to jump up and roar.

The natives also looked panicked and ran back.

Li Xiaofei's subordinates also began to panic, "Lord Li, retreat!" ”

"What's the panic, it's just a flock of crows! It's just too much! Look closely! ”

When they looked up into the sky, they saw a flock of crows over their heads heading north.

The natives seemed to be being chased by crows, and they ran north desperately.

But how can the man outrun the crow, and after a while the crow passes over the head of the native, the natives cry frantically and roll on the ground.

Li Xiaofei and Liang Jun didn't know what was going on, so they had to continue to be vigilant about whether there was really something terrible in the stone statue.

Soon Li Xiaofei and the others smelled a strong rancid smell, this smell was very familiar to Li Xiaofei, and it had not been smelled on the battlefield for many years.

Corpse stench! Swept by the wind, and emanated from the crows.

"Light the fire and throw the torch in

Go, I'm going to see what demons and monsters are in this statue! ”

Li Xiaofei gave an order, and the Liang soldiers took out more than a dozen torches and lit them and threw them in.

After a while, in the firelight, Li Xiaofei and the others saw a large number of decomposing corpses mixed with the foot of the stone statue inside.

"Don't be afraid! Come with me! ”

Li Xiaofei took the lead and was the first to go in, and the Liang soldiers had to follow in to have a look.

At the foot of the statue are mostly the heads and stumps of the natives, and some unknown animals are tearing at them.

When the natives outside saw Liang Jun enter the stone statue array, they all shouted in horror and beckoned to Liang Jun.

Li Xiaofei and the others saw that the Turen meant to let them come out, and after confirming that there was indeed no formation in the stone statue, everyone came out.

"Make a mark here! Push to a stone statue, let's go back first! ”

Everyone also wanted to go back for a long time, so they cut down a nearby tree, hollowed out the soil at the foot of the outermost stone statue, and pushed the stone statue down with all their might.

The moment the stone statue was pushed, the natives cheered and shouted to the sky, although they didn't know what they were shouting, but they must have been very happy to see their expressions.

"If we knew these people didn't like stone statues, we should have brought more people to destroy them!"

"So many stone statues, looking terrible, it's time to destroy!"

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "Whether they are mad or not, whether they should or shouldn't, these stone statues are all made by the people of this land, and we are not qualified to destroy them!" Even in the name of so-called justice! Let these natives go, we don't have much food, and I don't want to abandon them halfway there! ”

Liang Jun gestured with his hands to hundreds of natives for a while, but the natives still followed Li Xiaofei and them.

Li Xiaofei had to compare by himself, and showed the dry food that everyone was carrying to the natives.

The natives suddenly scattered and ran into the distance, looking at their backs, Li Xiaofei smiled, "Haha, sure enough, there is no food and no soldiers, and people die for money, birds die for food!" As soon as they told them that they had nothing to eat, they left, regardless of whether we were their gods or enemies! ”

"It's good that they understand this time, otherwise we will compete for dry food when the time comes, and some people will have to die in vain, I really don't want to do such a thing as murder! Every time I kill someone, I have to say the mantra of death! Otherwise, you will have nightmares in the middle of the night! ”

"It's really not a good thing to kill people, it's too sinful, living people, you have to be killed with a knife, it's too miserable!"

The one who recited the mantra of the past was a bow and crossbow captain of the Jiangnan Water Division, and he was a monk in the temple before joining the army.

Now he is a bow and crossbow captain, but he is still bald and reciting Buddha and eating vegetarian, because he often recites the mantra of the past life, his boss and subordinates call him the master of the past life, and no one knows his real name until now.

"Master of the past life, Li studied Taoism in his early years, but he did a lifetime of murder, you were born in an ancient Zen temple, but you are also the same as Li, how do you feel" Li Xiaofei saw that the master of the past life was mentioning the matter after the killing, so he asked.

"Master Li and I are just going to hell to cross the world, and killing people is also crossing people! Blame oneself for one's sins in exchange for the reincarnation of others! That's just me and my adult! ”

Li Xiaofei felt that this monk was not simple, and he could say that killing people was his own sin, instead of saying that he was compassionate and wielding a murderous weapon in his hand, "This is the first time Li has heard this statement, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully, if the world doesn't kill people, there will be a lot less sins, and many people won't have to go to hell!" It seems that the master also comprehended a lot of exquisite Buddhism in the famous mountains and ancient temples! ”

"Master Li praised it falsely, below

It was only after killing these people for decades that I realized it. At first, I followed the imperial court to kill pirates and Jiang bandits, thinking that I was doing the right thing for heaven, but later I killed more, and found that I just had a reason to kill people in a dignified manner. The pirates and bandits are killing people, and we are also killing people, and we are all doing murderous things. The sins are all the same, and they don't distinguish one from the other! Even though I realized it, I still killed people! Maybe one day being killed by someone else will be a relief! ”

"The master sees life and death so lightly, it's rare! Li is actually very afraid of death, so he doesn't want to have many people, so as not to be killed by others one day! ”

The Master of the Past laughed, "Master Li is also honest enough!" It's the first time I've met you like this, how many people who lead the troops say that they are not afraid of killing countless enemies, but you, a high-ranking official who has led soldiers for decades, actually said that he was afraid of death! I'm not laughing at adults for being afraid of death, but I'm grateful that adults can cherish everyone's life! If they are all like Lord Li, why worry that hell is not empty, why worry that there is no Buddha in the world! The Buddha does not have to be in the famous mountains and ancient temples, everyone with good thoughts can become a Buddha! ”

As soon as the words ended, the soldiers shouted, "Be careful, the natives are back, and they still have their things!" ”

As soon as Li Xiaofei and the Master of the Past Death turned around, they saw that the natives who had left earlier had come back with something in their hands, which looked like stones or something.

"Could it be that these people will not kill us when they see that we are few, but they have come to kill us? Master Li, hurry up and give the order to attack! ”

Li Xiaofei looked at the native and saw the native running in front smiling and waving something like a stone.

"Don't let go of the arrows! They're not going to fight us! Wait a minute! ”

The master of the past drew his knife and blocked it in front of Li Xiaofei, "Lord Li is kind-hearted, I will protect you!" ”

When the native saw Liang Jun draw his sword and raise his shield, he also stopped, but instead of throwing what was in his hand, he took it to his mouth and gnawed it.

A child-like native ran over with a dirt-stained object in both hands, and the soldiers at the front put down their knives and made way for the child.

The boy handed it to a cavalryman who had carried him on horseback, and the cavalryman was stunned for a moment, then took the dirt-covered thing.

The boy pointed to the thing and made a gesture of sharpening, and the cavalryman looked at the child, pulled out the short knife at his waist and drew the skin of the thing, and inside it was a white flower thing that exuded a fragrance.

The boy then pointed to his mouth, then opened and closed his mouth, and the cavalry hesitated, so the child took a small one from his bosom and fed it to his mouth, and the cavalryman knew that this was telling him that he could eat it, so he ate it too.

"Beware of poison!"

"I also ate poison, such a young child can't be so bad!"

Having said this, the cavalry ate carefully, and the natives on the opposite side all raised their mud mounds in their hands and came over.

"Let them come, do they tell me, they can find food in the wild by themselves, you see that the natives behind are picking other wild fruits!"

The Liang army looked around, and saw that every native, regardless of men, women, and children, dug up and picked up food by themselves, and then took out some of it and gave it to Liang Jun.

"It's good that we didn't release the arrows, otherwise the sin would have been too great! These people are here to share food with us! ”

"Although we can't understand their words, we can still see their kindness!"

"I can't imagine that these natives also know what benevolence is!"

Li Xiaofei got off the horse and walked among the natives, and after a while, the natives understood the meaning, and then the natives and Liang Jun went all the way to the north.
