Chapter 334: Painting the Ground as a Prison
With Yu Tianfeng's order, the arrow fire covered the dark sky and flew towards the deserted city. When the arrows landed, the deserted city was ablaze, and the dancing flames were constantly rising and dancing, as if they were dancing the dance of their hometown for the souls of the dead who had been sleeping here.
"They can rest in peace......" Yu Tianfeng seemed to feel something, and there was a little more melancholy in his tone.
"Rest in peace? The soul will not rest in peace, the night is the beginning of their fate, and they will repeat their fate again and again. Nalan said something he didn't understand, and he didn't know whether to answer or talk to himself.
"Then why did you burn this place?" Yu Tianfeng asked suspiciously.
Nalan regained his indifferent smile and chuckled, "I'm watching them dance, don't you see that there is an indescribable charm written in the writhing bodies of these deceased?" ”
Yu Tianfeng had a chill down his spine, and he didn't know what Nalan was talking about, so he could only snort and signal that he could inspect and rest.
"General Yu is too worried, I am to free the deceased, starting from this raging fire, to free the entire Hou Tang, and to free Jiuyuan. And under this fire, they are in dire straits at this time, do we have to look at them so indifferently? Nalan's tone suddenly became a little fanatical, and he turned to look at Yu Tianfeng and said.
didn't give Yu Tianfeng a chance to interface, Nalan restrained his expression, "Just like Gu Yanxun back then, it's a pity that he doesn't have this fate......"
Yu Tianfeng's hand holding the handle of the horizontal knife tightened, as if he had an epiphany, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn. He didn't know what the man in front of him wanted to express or what he wanted to do. But he knew that he had precipitated for too long, too long in their intersecting pasts......
Nalan seemed to realize the negligence in his words, and whispered a haha, then turned around again, and pointed to the deserted city that was dazzling in the firelight, "From here, General Yu, are you ready?" ”
Yu Tianfeng held his head high and stood still, but his eyes were a little more solemn and expectant for the future. He seems to have finally waited, waiting for the fate of realizing his long-cherished wish. This fate is tied to the man in front of him and cannot be separated.

The old yellow man silently followed the carriage and walked far, far away. When he turned around, dozens of miles away, a raging fire ignited, reflecting the dark ink sky. The person in the sedan chair at the front of the team seemed to feel the distant heat, tapped the sedan chair, and asked softly: "Senior, but what did you find?" ”
The old yellow head took out the cigarette stick but didn't light it, just took it in his hand and played with it, and said meaningfully: "In this world, the wind is going to rise again......"
"The troubled times have lasted for several years, haven't they all been in ruins? Why? Chen Fusheng was noncommittal when he heard this, and asked with a soft smile.
"Young man, take your time......" After the old yellow head finished speaking, he walked forward quickly, as if he didn't want to follow the end of the line, and didn't want to look at the fire that rose into the sky in the distance.
Hades Venerable naturally took over the position of the old yellow head, but he was also a little relieved, and turned to look at the firelight, thoughtful.
Mo Ye followed the carriage and asked calmly, "But what clues have you found?" ”
"No, but I always feel a little uneasy, I haven't felt this way for a long time." Hades still said in an emotionless tone, as if he was saying something sparse and ordinary.
"What Nalan said, there has been a change in Lonely Whistling Heights, what do you think?" Bai Li suddenly opened his mouth at this time, and asked differently. After many years of absence, they who had escaped from Luoyang at this time seemed to be much more concerned about the survival of Guxiao Heights. Maybe if this place is erased, they will really have to wander on the rivers and lakes.
Maybe it's just an illusion for outsiders, and there are deeper reasons hidden in it, but they don't want others to know.
"Seven points true, three points false." Hades opened his mouth and came to a conclusion.
"Then we ......" had been relatively irritable before, but Luo Xiu, who had been silent since just now, finally asked such a sentence.
"I know what you're worried about, and since you're worried, then at the next resting place, let's divide the troops into two ways. I will continue to follow Gu Xing to protect his safety, if you return to the villa and find that something has changed, remember not to force yourself to come, retreat and join us. After careful consideration, the Immortal Venerable said this.
"It's okay......" Mo Ye, Bai Ya and Luo Xiu said this in unison, maybe their feelings for Lonely Roaring Heights are different, but they all have things that are difficult to let go, even if they want to leave, they have to go back and make a complete break.
What's more, at this time, when the strength of Lone Whistling Heights was lacking, Nalan took advantage of the weakness at this time, but it was also in line with his style. I just don't know if this is his idea, or if he ordered it on behalf of the saints. In short, Li Cunqiao will never give up. For him, this is a "cancer" that grows in the land of the Later Tang Dynasty, and it is natural to get rid of it quickly.
"Have you discussed it?" The old yellow man touched the side of the carriage at some point, and looked at them with a smile. Several people were stunned, but then nodded.
"It's okay, there are a lot of people, and the soldiers are divided into two ways to disturb the sight of the pursuers, and when we reach the Valley of the Crows, you can come here to meet." The old yellow head said, as if he had no intention of retaining.
"Then wake him up......" Luo Xiu still seemed to be a little relieved, and there was some reluctance in his eyes.
"Don't worry, with me and Hades here, nothing big will happen." The old yellow man grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth. "But you, be careful." As he spoke, he added, as if he was worried about the three of them. These days of getting along make everyone come together, and if you want to separate at this time, there will naturally be a lot of reluctance.
"It's not time to separate yet, so it's too sad to talk about this, right?" Gu Xing's voice was a little pale, but with a rare smile. It seems that it is from the quagmire of some kind of pain that has struggled to climb out.
Mo Ye walked to the side of the carriage, held on to the edge of the carriage, and asked softly, "Gu boy, can your body still support it?" ”
"Master Mo rest assured, it's fine." Gu Xingqiang supported his somewhat tired body, as if he wanted to comfort Mo Ye's heart.
Bai Li's eyes were shining, and he stroked Mo Ye's back, and said in a sinister voice, "I haven't been back for a long time, it's time to take a look." You are so deeply in this master-apprentice love that you can't hold back your tears. ”
A sad mood spread among everyone, and the old yellow man who was walking at the front of the team couldn't help but rub his eyes, and said in a hoarse tone, "Okay, walk more than ten miles, and you will arrive at a resting place." When the explanation is finished, you will go back as soon as possible, and the old man is a little reluctant. ”
Silence replaced sadness, but a smile began to appear on everyone's face, as pure as the moonlight against the flames......
There were no obstacles along the way, but there was some surprisingly calm, which made the already nervous people breathe a little sigh of relief. The heavy atmosphere drifted away with the wind along the way, and it was a little comfortable to walk under the moonlight.
After walking for more than two hours, the edge of the sky began to reveal the white of the fish's belly, which made people feel the passage of time. Wei Wuji slowly woke up under Aunt Han's care, but he had been silent since he woke up, no matter how Aunt Han asked him, he didn't speak, it seemed that the crack in his heart was more difficult for him to accept than the wound on his body.
Last night, he watched two of his companions being burned alive in front of him, and experienced an indescribable "soul torture", and his previous thoughts completely collapsed overnight last night. What made him even more unacceptable was that he did not rescue his master, who may be his only relative in this world.
But he still couldn't do anything. Wei Wuji kept suppressing himself in his heart, cursing his incompetence and cowardice, if he could have stood up at the beginning, maybe things wouldn't have turned out the way they are today. Master's teachings are still in my ears, but Master can no longer see them.
The tears finally broke the embankment after a long silence, and one by one the teardrops mixed with red tears continued to drip down, like a river and sea, soaking the body underneath. Aunt Han looked at Wei Wuji's appearance, and felt a little pity, took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, handed it over, and said softly: "The deceased has passed away, and when you are alive, you should be strong." Live well for your master. ”
Wei Wuji slowly raised his head, his eyes full of resentment, "I will kill all the people of the Rakshasa Sect, and leave no one behind." ”
"You can do that, and it will also vent your hatred, and it may make you a lot better. However, if you calm down and think about it carefully, if you kill them all, will their parents and families be better? If you kill people so indiscriminately, can you really get better yourself? Gu Xing's voice didn't sound the slightest consolation, but rather a bit of sarcasm, as if he was laughing at Wei Wuji's wild words.
Gu Xing's words made Wei Wuji's expression slowly calm down, he seemed to be unable to control the catharsis of his emotions for a while, rushed to Gu Xing's body, grabbed Gu Xing's collar, and roared angrily: "Then you say, you say, what should I do?" Tell me! ”
Aunt Han didn't expect it, and wanted to step forward but was stopped by the second girl, and motioned for her to take a look.
Gu Xing had a rare smile, it seemed that after experiencing all kinds of changes and setbacks, he really began to know this troubled world and know himself, "No one can give you the answer to this, you need to pursue your own heart, that's all." ”
"Have you ever had a hatred?" Wei Wuji let go of the hands that were grabbing Gu Xing's collar and said dejectedly. The tyranny has slowly subsided, and in exchange for endless sorrow. The courage of the horseman for a while, of course, can vent the anger at this time, but how can the pathos accumulated for a long time be squandered by the courage of the horseman?
If one cannot read one's own heart, how can one get out of the cage that he has built?
Gu Xing tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, as if he was savoring a very ridiculous thing, "Your hatred, compared to me, is very different." You are an enemy of a small Rakshasa sect, and I am an enemy of the entire Later Tang Dynasty. However, I won't be as impulsive as you. Isn't it ridiculous to be devastated after a short blow, fantasizing that you can take revenge? ”
"Where is it ridiculous? If you don't even have this courage, then what's the difference between you and ants? ”
