In the sixth year of Yonghui (655 AD), the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Time flies, time flies, space changes, like dreams and electricity. The three Wukang brothers first made guest appearances at the post station, and hurried day and night. The most festive New Year, consumed in the journey, February Erlong raised his head and came to Hebei Province, Yingzhou Liucheng County (Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province).

Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, reported that he was assigned to the logistics baggage team, and the official was added to the chief of the marching army. Responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, building bridges and paving roads, cooking and soup. Set off with the army, leave Chaoyang City, pass through Jinzhou City, and enter Shenyang City.

On the ninth day of the fourth month, it crossed the Great Liao River and drove into the territory of Goguryeo. The people fled in despair, but there was no resistance along the way, and the army marched step by step. The so-called Great Liao River, later known as the Great Liao River, one of the six ancient rivers. According to the memory in my head, combined with the news inquired, the place where the army is stationed should be southeast of Shenyang.

One hundred and fifty miles to the east, it is the Guiduanshui in the southwest direction, and the famous Hunhe River. On the east bank of Guiduanshui is the new city, Fushun City in later generations, and the important town of Liaodong in Goguryeo, where 90,000 enemy soldiers are stationed. There were more than 30,000 Tang troops, and the two sides looked at each other across the river, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

The dense military camp, the tense and solemn atmosphere, and the soldiers who are waiting for the battle have nothing to do with Wu Kang. Since he went out with the army, he has only one side relationship with Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang. Big guy Cheng was busy studying the military situation, and Big Guy Su was busy arranging troops, so he didn't have time and mood to pay attention to it, Chief Secretary of Sesame Mung Bean.

The study plan failed, and there was a lack of interest, and there was nothing to do all day long, and he was a monk and hit the clock. Like a wasted person, arrange what soup to drink for breakfast and what to eat for dinner. Before the hour every day, arrange my own work, take Qian Shun and Lin Langping, as well as the newly acquainted Xiao Cheng, to play in the snow mountain behind the barracks at noon.

Before going to bed tonight, the four brothers were shocked, and Wu Kang was shocked. Xiao Cheng, who is of the same age, is named Cheng Wuting, the son of Cheng Boss. The future ace will be a hard-working boss, and he will be killed by Mei Niang in the future.

Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, and Heiya Changzhi, all of them are powerful foreigners, and all of them have brilliant military exploits, and they can be called national heroes. It's a pity that the loser girl, cut off the head of Cheng Wuting, killed Wang Fangyi, and forced the black tooth to death.

During the Wutang Dynasty, foreign wars were repeatedly defeated, and she was fully responsible. At first, Mei Niang appreciated Cheng Wuting, and Pei Yan, the prime minister at the time, quelled the rebellion and slacked work, and suggested that she return to power Li Tang and was thrown into prison. Cheng Wuting couldn't figure it out, and wrote to defend Pei Yan, which angered the tigress.

Coincidentally, Xu Jingye rebelled against the organization, and several of them had a good relationship with him, so some ministers took the opportunity to frame him. is still a major crime of rebellion, Mei Niang was furious, and cut it directly without interrogation, and then destroyed it. The Turks collectively climaxed, built an ancestral hall for Xiao Cheng, and went to worship every time they went on an expedition.

Being unjustly killed by his own people and revered by his enemies is ironic enough. Wu Kang tossed and turned, his mind full of thinking about how to redeem the tragedy. After thinking about it, he decided to kill Pei Yan, that thing is not a good bird. colluded with Xu Jingye with the intention of overthrowing Mei Niang, who can be called a rebellious minister and thief.

In the quiet tent, the sound of Qian Shun's snoring sounded, which quickly infected the other two. Three deflated calves, as if snoring games, one bigger than the other. Especially Cheng Wuting, the snoring is like thunder, and the tone is also suppressed. Naiong is anxious for you, but you sleep like a pig, and the big brother is too much.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, so I picked up my boots on the ground and smashed them along the sound source. The mud cow entered the sea, the snoring was still the same, Wu Kang was happy, and touched the second boot. It didn't feel right, the usually cold dirt turned out to be warm. The palm of the hand felt close to the ground, and it was indeed warm, like being baked by a campfire.

This place is in the northeast, and even in late spring and early summer, it is extremely cold. Lifted the quilt, didn't feel cold, draped in clothes, and groped on the ground. Feeling inch by inch, I suddenly smelled strong foot odor, and my head hit my leg. Looking up and seeing the black shadow, I listened to the surprised ask: Big guy, you don't sleep, what are you looking for on it, and you lost something?

Qian Shun's voice, his left shoulder was pulled, and Wu Kang got up. casually perfunctory, smeared back to the bed, and accidentally knocked over the stool. The porcelain bowl fell to the ground, the snoring stopped instantly, Cheng Wuting and Lin Pinglang got up, and the two horizontal knives were unsheathed.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous", Wu Kang hurriedly replied, hesitated for a moment and said: "You two put away the knife and light the candle in the line, there is a special situation." You feel it carefully, it's hot in the tent, and the land is hot. ”

Qian Shun took out the fire fold, lit half of the candle, and planted it on the table. Lin Pinglang was barefoot, tentatively stepping on the ground, and doubts crawled on his face. Cheng Wuting wiped the sweat from his forehead, squatted down and touched the ground with his palms, and frowned: "It's hot, it shouldn't be." ”

It shouldn't be, Wu Kang has an illusion that the floor under the barracks is warm. Under the dim light, the four of them formed a group, staring at each other with big eyes, and Qian Shun spoke: "Is it the nearby barracks, someone secretly bakes a fire, and the heat is transmitted here?" ”

This can't be, the three of them rolled their eyes, and Junko was embarrassed. Just wanted to save his dignity, Cheng Wuting said: "Is there a hot spring underground... It's impossible, I couldn't stand the cold yesterday, but today it's suddenly warm, I don't know what happened to them? ”

It's cold these days, especially at night, and it's freezing cold. Entering the quilt and curling into a ball, I couldn't stretch my legs at all for half an hour. Lin Pinglang got up, strode out of the tent, the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and each put on his shoes and went out.

When I came to the outside of the account, I fell down together, and the palm of my hand touched the ground, which was almost the same as inside. Wu Kang's nose twitched, and he smelled a faint sour smell, not like the smell of feces and urine, so he whispered to them: "You smell carefully, is there a sour smell, much lighter than vinegar cloth." ”

The three of them twitched their noses and quickly nodded at the same time, Lin Pinglang said: "It should be vinegar, it may be Huotouying, and soup was poured nearby." Big guy, it's three watches, let's sleep, and ask the firehead tomorrow. ”

Cheng Wuting yawned and agreed with Ping Lang's opinion: "Brother Change, don't make a fuss, you will find out when you ask at dawn." Yesterday, I received news that Goguryeo had crossed the Guiduanshui and was ready to go. The battle between the two armies is about to begin, and our logistics should be busy, so let's all go back to sleep. ”

Back in the barracks, blow out the candles, each burrow into the bed, and the snoring sounded again. Wu Kang couldn't sleep, sweating all over, and lifted off two layers of quilts. Staring wide-eyed into the darkness, a sense of foreboding swelled up, and something big was going to happen.

racked his brains to search his mind, thought of various possibilities, and vetoed them one by one. I have a splitting headache for a while, and the cutting is still messy, and my heart is like cooking oil. After a long dry laugh, maybe nervous, I complicated the problem. Putting aside the geothermal heat and thinking about tomorrow's war, there is no deviation from the history books.

Goguryeo saw that there were few Tang soldiers, so they crossed the Guiduanshui, and the bloody battle was about to begin. I recalled the work arrangement, found no omissions, and gradually relaxed. Close your eyes to stabilize your mind, force your consciousness to empty, and soon you feel sleepy.

Suddenly, the horse neighed brightly, and instantly came to the spirit, and sat up straight. It was the cry of the skull, with trepidation and anxiety, and the sound of horses' hooves. Xiao Cheng and the others were also awakened, and they all sat up and listened to the movement outside the account.

About three minutes later, someone next door cursed, scolding the fight and disturbing people's dreams. Lin Pinglang leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "The big guy is not normal, Dou Cheng is usually very well-behaved, unless he senses danger, he will not be happy." ”

"You are not normal, can you speak", Qian Shun glared at Lin Pinglang, and also lowered his voice: "Lao Lin is right, if there is potential danger, Dou Cong will warn." On the way we came, when we crossed the dangerous bridge, we couldn't get on the bridge. It happened that there was an ox cart, and when it came to the middle of the bridge, the wooden bridge collapsed. ”

In this case, the bullock fell to his death on the spot, and the coachman was crushed under the ox cart. When he was rescued by the three of them, he was already dying, and he was stupid at the time. Cheng Wu was very interested, and leaned over and grinned: "My brother of change, that thousand-mile horse, you can give it to me." What do you want, just say, as long as I have it, brother, what do you want? ”

As soon as the words fell, Dou Cheng was quiet, as if he had heard a conversation. Cheng Wuting snorted, scared them for a while, and laughed again: "The BMW that is unique in ten thousand, brother, please, let me go?" I exchanged it with a dragon lock, built by the Mo family giant, and opened the light by Zen Master Zhizhang. If you can be a family heirloom, you will know when you see it tomorrow..."

Ping Lang and Qian Shun scoffed, and Wu Kang directly drilled into the quilt and turned on the mockery mode: "I already felt that you had a problem, the son of Cheng Dadudu, playing with the firehead soldiers." Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, let's die of this heart. Give me mountains of gold and silver, and don't sell buckets, hurry up and go to sleep. ”

Cheng Wuting didn't give up, chattering endlessly, Wang Po sold melons and boasted: The Panlong lock is worth a lot, and the Mo family giants can build it, and they can avoid evil. And repeatedly emphasized that you must watch it tomorrow, and you will like it when you see it.

annoyed Wu Kang, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and blocked his ears with both hands. I didn't sleep well all night, there was a slight noise, and mosquitoes buzzed like that, constantly haunting my ears. I woke up the next morning, with dark circles under my eyes and rubbing my sore temples. Listening to the "brother of change" again, the pain was even worse, gritting his teeth and glaring, glaring at Cheng Wuting. Wonderful book

Cheng Wuting had a hippie smile, took off the silver lock on his neck, and handed it to Wukang to sell: "Brother Change, look, this is the Panlong lock, it's very exquisite, right?" Huang Guanzi Dao Chang opened the light, and he can really turn evil into good fortune, you see the shining bright... Well? ”

The words stopped abruptly, Qian Shun laughed, and Pinglang rolled his eyes: "I said Cheng Jiulian, when we are blind, where can we find broken copper and iron?" Die of this heart, don't waste your efforts, Dou Cheng is our brother, and it is impossible to sell it to you. ”

Qian Shun mercilessly mocked, it was all black to the bottom of the pot, and it was still shiny? Cheng Wuting blushed and had a thick neck, shook his head and defended: "It's not like this, before leaving Yingzhou, I also took it out to pray, it was really shiny... Why did it suddenly get dark, how long has it been? ”

Wu Kang frowned slightly, took the gray-black silver lock, and kept flipping and studying. The silver used in normal use has a light gray surface because it has been sulfided. When silver encounters sulfur-containing substances, such as sulfur, it undergoes a chemical change and becomes black silver sulfide.

This dragon lock is too black, and it is about to turn into black charcoal. Is there a lot of sulphur near the camp? In just two months, let the shining silver become this virtue?

The Panlong lock was snatched away, Cheng Wu was very embarrassed, and swore that he would definitely find rare treasures, and he was determined to get it. Too lazy to take care of him, the gentleman doesn't win people's love, don't you know?

I turned around and went to wash my hands and found that the water was lukewarm. The nose twitched and sniffed, and there was a faint sour smell, and he smiled and educated the soldiers: "I am used to washing with cold water, don't boil hot water in the future, wood is also a strategic material, and it cannot be used casually." ”

The little soldier was inexplicable, and said with a sneer: "Wu Thorn Shi misunderstood, this water has not been boiled, and it is warm when it is hit... That's true, this morning in the northwest corner, a hot spring suddenly appeared. It was still bubbling up, and the brothers were washing their faces, but it was a little sour. ”

Self-inflicted affection, Wu Kang laughed embarrassedly, but the smile froze on his face. The sudden gushing of hot springs, the warm ground, the blackened silver, the faint sour smell, the warning of the fight... These coincidences add up, and they are certainly not coincidences, is it going to be an earthquake?

A sudden shout interrupted his thoughts, and the battle on the front line began. Wu Kang quickly washed his face, led everyone to the wounded barracks, and instructed the logistics personnel to prepare to accept and treat the wounded soldiers. Pinglang set off with a stretcher team, Qian Shun led people to sprinkle lime, and everyone performed their duties.

Carefully inspect the wounded barracks, the cauldron is set up to boil hot water, the alcohol is all ready, and the military doctors are in place. Nodding with satisfaction, he smelled a slightly sour smell again, and his heartstrings tensed again. Turning to look at the bucket, he was circling around the stake, waiting for the reins to be wrapped, and then turning counterclockwise.

The panicked appearance is indeed a warning that animals are far more sensitive to earthquakes than humans. Looking at the surrounding environment, staring at the snow-capped mountains behind him, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. The summit of the mountain rises into the clouds, starting halfway up the mountain and rising to the snow.

Local residents say that the name of this mountain is "Half Snow Mountain", and the snow does not melt all year round. Wu Kang thinks that it should be called Mt. Fuji, carved out of a mold. Look at the environment again, put your heart in your stomach, and the surrounding area is extremely empty. Even if there is a magnitude 10 earthquake, it will not cause major casualties, and tents will not kill people.

The first wounded arrived, and immediately got busy, wearing masks and entering the tent. Hit an arrow in the thigh, deal with it later, pull out the arrow, clean the wound, and order the military doctor to stitch it up; The belly is cut open, priority is given, the person is tied to the bench, and the belly is sewn directly; Hit by an arrow in the heart, deal with it immediately... A hairy child, carry it out and wait for death.

There are pig-killing roars everywhere, and some of them are directly fainting, but it also saves trouble. Wu Kang kept commanding, the military doctor was orderly, and he was carried to the rehabilitation camp after the operation. Heavy blood was permeated, with bloody bandages piled up, and the wounded wailing incessantly.

The stretcher came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, which shows the fierceness of the fighting. Busy feet do not touch the ground, shouting dry mouth, do their best to save lives. The military doctors were exhausted, they were all sweating profusely, and the apprentices kept wiping their sweat.

It was busy until noon, when the stretchers finally thinned out, the shouts of the front line disappeared, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. Hang the mask around your neck, wipe the sweat from your forehead, and gently rub your throat. Qian Shun came to report that there were more than 500 wounded, 30 cases died, and the rest may be recovered.

Wu Kang was very relieved, and when the last wounded were carried away, he left the wounded barracks to get some fresh air. Looking at the half-snowy mountain in a daze, he suddenly heard a panicked shout, and the atmosphere was suddenly tense. Several soldiers panicked and were fleeing for their lives in this direction, as if they were being asked for their lives by a ghost.

Did someone attack the camp? The atmosphere was tense in an instant, Wu Kang gave orders, and the soldiers each other. Cheng Wuting ordered to strike the gong, Lin Pinglang and Qian Shun drew their bows, and the soldiers who ran at the front suddenly screamed: There are many snakes, not an enemy attack...

There was a false alarm, Wu Kang was furious, raised his head and slapped his head, split his head and covered his face and scolded: "Damn Tian Shenu, what are you yelling about, snakes are so terrible?" Look at your little bit of interest, go home and raise pigs, it's better to be a. ”

The beaten soldier was very young, and he was frightened by the big man's momentum, holding his head and begging for mercy: "Wu Thorn Shi is angry, not one or two snakes, but hundreds or thousands." And countless rats, pheasants, and hares, and a few large wild boars, all fleeing to the west, and you can go and see them..."

Wu Kang immediately stopped and looked at the soldiers in front of him, seeing that the situation did not look like a lie. The great migration of animals, the early warning of the fight, is really going to be a big earthquake. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, and I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I ordered the soldier in front of me: "Don't be nervous, take me over to have a look." ”

The little soldier turned around and ran, Wu Kang followed, and everyone left the barracks. Out of the corner of his eye, he found that many mounds of earth had sprung up in the originally flat fields. They are of different sizes and shapes, as if they have been arched by rats. Stepping on one with one foot, I sneered into it, and there was water in the pit.

Squatting down to check, the rich sour smell is tangy, like boiling water, bubbles from time to time, and a faint mist. Cheng Wuting urged, didn't have time to think, and quickened his pace to catch up. Ran a mile away, his body froze in place, and everyone was stunned.

The picture is too shocking, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and all kinds of small animals, from the foot of the half-snow-capped mountain, gushing out like a tide. Many of them are natural enemies of each other, but they don't care about devouring each other, and all of them are panicking and fleeing for their lives to the west. Eight wild boars rushed out suddenly, the thunder roared, and the earth trembled.

Cheng Wuting and Lin Pinglang took the lead, and all those who wore bows and arrows shot at the wild boars. However, it is weird, and in general, wild boars will be furious when they are hit by arrows, and will take revenge on humans like crazy. But they didn't, ignored the soldiers, and like hedgehogs, they continued to flee westward.

Feathered arrows continued to be fired, and all but two pigs escaped, and all the others died. There was another wild boar meat to eat, and the soldiers laughed, but Wu Kang couldn't laugh. Countless rats, lizards, and ants crawled over the boar carcass and completely submerged it.

In this situation, I think of the movie "Fantasy Forest", in which the animals migrate. It is almost certain that an earthquake is imminent. I calmed down, felt that the problem was not big, and I was even a little excited. The new city to the east of Guiduanshui is all Goguryeo, and it is better to be stoned.

Around the barracks, barren mountains and mountains, there are simple tents, and there will be no great danger. Unless this earthquake can collapse the half-snowy mountain, otherwise... Collapse? His pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked up at the snow-capped mountains. The snow-capped summit of the mountain reveals cyan stones, and the snow melts?

In an instant, as if struck by lightning, two big words flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously rushed to the foot of the mountain. I didn't run a few steps, but I heard a coax, and the birds covered the sky. A heart sinks to the bottom, birds and beasts go, the most obvious sign.

Qian Shun was worried about the big guy, so he and Lin Pinglang rushed over to escort him, and Cheng Wuting screamed: "Come back quickly, the snakes here are all poisonous, especially if you take five steps, you will definitely die if you are bitten." Brother Chang is coming back soon, he will die..."

Wu Kang turned a deaf ear, didn't care about a few steps, and had to verify the idea. Cheng Wu stomped his feet in a hurry, and also rushed out, reaching the foot of the mountain in one breath. I saw Wu Kang squatting on the ground, holding three bird corpses in his hands, and he was checking them repeatedly.

Slowly walked over, sprinkled realgar wine next to it, stopped the poisonous snake from approaching, and said after a while: "The bird has just died, its feathers are intact, its claws and beak are also intact, it is not like... What do you say, what mountains of fire, what kind of eruptions? ”

"The blind stream hitting the street, the volcano erupts", Wu Kang completely rammed, Pu Fan grabbed his collar with his big hand, and lifted Cheng Wuting up. The expression was extremely hideous, and Yao Yao roared: "Banxue Mountain is a volcano, and it will erupt soon, take me to see your father immediately." We can't fight anymore, everyone has to evacuate, or we all have to die..."
