Chapter 174: My Life Is Dead
When the wolf meat was roasted, Wang Zezhi cut off the wolf's head, held it high and shouted loudly into the darkness in the distance.
"Beast, I know you're watching, but you can only watch.
See clearly, we humans are the ones at the top of the food chain, and you can only be reduced to food. ”
After Wang Zezhi finished speaking, he threw the wolf head in his hand fiercely.
Then he turned back to the ruins and continued the fire.
"Wow~Woo~"
The wolf king was enraged by Wang Zezhi's actions, and he began to call for the wolves to attack.
Wang Zezhi suddenly remembered that the fire that wolves were afraid of was the kind of fire that burned wide and spread rapidly, and the torches or small fires in people's hands did not have much of a deterrent effect on them, but could only scare them.
Torches and fires maintain a certain level of illumination, and the wolf does not approach because it is afraid.
Rather, they are accustomed to hunting under the cover of night, and the light makes them have nothing to hide, so they do not have enough security to encourage them to hunt uncertainly.
"Raise your shield, defend!" Wang Zezhi couldn't care so much anymore, and immediately gave an order in a loud voice.
The guards also noticed the anomaly and immediately took action.
As they gathered around to defend themselves by the light of the fire, they saw countless pairs of eyes lit up around the ruins.
There were more wolves, not only around the ruins, but also on the other side of the river.
"Don't panic, stay on your guard, and hold on to your weapons."
When suddenly shining on the faces of nocturnal animals, because their eyes suddenly do not adapt to the bright light, causing visual disturbances, they usually have a short period of unresponsiveness, this sudden stimulation is a blow to the animal, so the wolves do not attack immediately.
Instead, they tentatively ran back and forth into the range of the light, adapting to the light of the fire.
The Wolf King appeared.
It walked over to the fire on the edge and touched it with its paws.
Wang Zezhi didn't know if it was provoking or testing whether the fire was hot.
He had never dealt with a wolf before, and this was the first time he had ever dealt with a wolf in his two lifetimes.
The wolf king is wise not like an animal at all, but more like a ferocious enemy, just like a human.
It can think, it can tactics, it can try, it can be angry, and the key thing is that it treats human life like a mustard, and people are food for it.
The guards were waiting, and the wolf king glanced at everyone indifferently and slowly retreated.
It's the kind of thing that looks straight back and retreats until it disappears into darkness.
The wolves running around the ruins also gradually dispersed after the wolf king retreated.
The guards did not receive Wang Zezhi's order and still maintained their formation.
Wang Zezhi didn't lift the defense at the first time, because he felt that the wolf king was not so simple.
until the fire is short of matches.
"Disarm the defenses and add matches to the fire."
The guards obeyed, put down their shields, and went to add wood to the fire.
Just as the guards let down their guard and bent down to collect firewood, dozens of wild wolves quietly rushed out around the ruins and pounced.
"Attack!" Wang Zezhi's sword was bitten by a wolf, even if the wolf's mouth was full of blood, the wolf would not let go.
Wang Zezhi picked up a burning wooden stick from the fire and smashed it hard.
Everyone hurriedly launched a counterattack, and a few people also put down their weapons, and those few guards were attacked by the wild wolves.
By the time everyone dealt with the wolves that had attacked them to save them, their necks had been bitten off by the wolves.
"Damn, shit!"
Wang Zezhi was so angry that he stabbed the wild wolf in front of him.
At this moment, he hated the wild wolves on the grassland to the extreme.
He decided to wait until the next spring, and the first thing he did was to kill the wild wolves in his jurisdiction.
"Add firewood, strengthen vigilance, and the wolves will definitely move."
Wang Zezhi's clothes hadn't dried yet, and on such a cold day and late at night, he didn't dare to take any more risks.
Because, he wasn't sure how far the ruins were from the town guards.
"Wow~Woo~"
Sure enough, the wolf king called again, and then the howls of wolves were everywhere in the grassland, one after another.
It's like they're celebrating the killing of an enemy.
Including Wang Zezhi, everyone was a little nervous.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~" romance
The sound of a strange metal hitting a rock resounded through the air, as if it had been blessed with a megaphone.
The wolves fell silent, whimpered, and gradually dispersed.
Wang Zezhi didn't know what sound he heard, and he didn't know what the wolves would do next.
He did not give the order to disarm the defenses, but continued to line up for the enemy.
A moment later, footsteps were heard.
A lama with an iron rod in his hand walked in, he looked at the crowd, said a Mongolian language, and everyone did not understand, he shook his head, came to the few people who had been killed by the wolf, held their hands and read it.
When he finished reading them one by one, he came to the front of the array, looked at the roasted wolf meat on the fire, sighed, gave a salute and said, "All living beings come from no beginning. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Only Wang Zezhi knows that this is a Buddhist saying, all sentient beings come from no beginning, and the next sentence is that they have never been parents and relatives.
It means that all sentient beings have been our parents and relatives since they came from a beginningless time, and some of them have been reborn as birds and beasts, so how can we bear to eat their flesh?
"The six animals exist because of people, they are supported by people all their lives, and they are finally rewarded with meat, so why can't they be eaten?"
Seven or eight of the people brought out by Wang Zezhi have died, and these people did not die in the hands of Lin Dan Khan, but in the hands of this group of beasts, how can he not be angry.
"In the midst of the tribulation, he was born of birds and beasts, ate his flesh and blood, and paid for his life."
After the lama finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
The meaning of this phrase is that those who eat meat will be born among birds and beasts, feed on the flesh and blood of other animals, and then pay for their lives with each other.
There is also another meaning, that is, people eat the flesh of wild beasts, and wild beasts can also eat human flesh, and there is no end to retribution.
The lama left directly, because he felt that Wang Zezhi's group of people was not saved.
He saved this group of people, which is really too much.
After he left, the area around the ruins was quiet for a long time, and Wang Zezhi felt that this was an opportunity.
Wang Zezhi guessed that the reason why the lama scared away the wolves should be related to the iron rod in his hand.
Wang Zezhi felt that now was an opportunity.
"Get on your horse at once, discern the direction, and we'll go west."
Wang Zezhi wore clothes that had not yet been baked, and rode his horse with the only remaining people and headed west.
Zhenwei is on the edge of this river, as long as you follow this direction, you will be right.
They didn't have long to go, and the wolves reappeared.
Intuition told Wang Zezhi that it was still the original wolf pack.
This group of wolves is determined to kill them, no matter whether Wang Zezhi provokes the wolf king or not, this group of wolves will not let the food in their mouths run away like this.
Along the way, the wolves only tried to attack sporadically, and did not attack in a big way.
It didn't take long for Wang Zezhi to see the bright light.
It was the light on the walls of the Guard.
"The town guards are in front, everyone work harder and rush over."
Just as they were about to reach the town, the wolf king suddenly howled.
Countless wild wolves rushed from the snow like cheetahs, and they swooped into the stomachs and legs of the horses.
For a time, from time to time, some of the guards fell from their horses and fell to the ground, fighting with wolves with knives.
But man could not fight the beast after all, and in just a few breaths, the man who fell off the horse was eaten.
Wang Zezhi's war horse was also knocked down, his eyes were quick, and when he was about to fall, he kicked the saddle, leaped out, and rolled into the snow.
"Your Excellency mounts." Luo Cong behind him was skillful and was not pounced.
Luo Cong bent down and hung on the side of the horse, and stretched out his hand to pick up Wang Zezhi.
Wang Zezhi was picked up by him and went straight to the acropolis.
"I am the king of Shanxi's chief soldiers, and I will open the city gate quickly."
There was no response.
I saw that on the city gate, Ma Fu held a longbow and tightened the bowstring, as did the other soldiers on the city wall.
The direction they were aiming at was Wang Zeyi, who had escaped from the wolf's mouth in his life.
Behind Wang Zezhi was a group of wolves in pursuit, and the city gate in front of him was not opened, but he was aimed at by bows and arrows.
As long as they shoot down their horses, they will be divided and eaten by the wolves, and finally their bones will be left.
When Wang Zezhi thought of this, he came from his heart, closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"I'm dying!"
