0413, inner demons
Longcheng Pass, the center of the entire continent.
Da Yue's gesture in the endgame of ten cities and nine places, except for Longcheng Pass, the other eighteen cities were completely slaughtered by the Western Qin army, and when they walked into it, it was like walking into purgatory, and many people with normal nerves would have a nervous breakdown when they saw the tragic situation here.
It's hell.
Li Mu was silent, following the Great Moon Army, city by city to collect the bodies of the tragic civilians, everywhere he went, his heart was silent.
He saw the old man, the body was divided, the old woman and the old grandfather were burned to death in the house, he saw the young mother holding the pre-term child who was killed by the bow and arrow, her face was sad, her body was in disarray, and there was a knife mark on her heart, and he saw dozens of young people trapped in a tree and hanged alive, and the woman who was killed naked by his subordinates was obviously their sweetheart......
At the gates of many border cities, barbed iron cages contained bloody corpses......
The moat was stained red with blood, and corpses were piled up.
As the days passed, many of the corpses were half-decomposed, and white maggots burrowed through the carrion of the corpses, and the smell of decay filled the air.
Li Mu's expression was a little numb.
He thought that it wouldn't be long before Caicai's ancestors and grandchildren were in the underground tombs, and it would probably be like this...... Living human lives, in front of them, have their own persistence, expectations and interests, but they are deprived of them in an instant.
When he closed his eyes, he could even hear the terrible howls and desperate struggles of these innocent people before they died, the husbands to protect their wives and children, the old people to protect their wives, and the mothers to protect their children...... All kinds of sounds, as if they came through time and space, surrounded Li Mu's ears.
Li Mu knew very well that this had nothing to do with him.
There is no cause or effect for the death of these people.
But he was still at a loss.
After coming to this world, it is not that he has never seen dead people, and the number of people who died at his hands is also quite ...... But when he walked down from these eighteen border cities that he had never visited, there was an irritability and disgust in his heart, but he couldn't spit it out.
So much so that he didn't sort out the flesh and shell injuries on his body caused by the [Thousand Waves Stack] fist technique that day.
Together with ordinary sergeants, reining in the innocent victims is something Li Mu has done for several days in a row.
Ten cities and nine places is the border line between Western Qin and the Northern Song Dynasty, stretching for nearly a thousand miles, the soldiers and civilians who were ordered to be slaughtered by Emperor Qin Ming added up to no less than three million, this kind of inhumane massacre, so that less than 10,000 remnants of the Great Moon Army, almost day and night convergence, digging pits, burying people, three days, has not been completely converged.
There are clouds in ancient books, and saints are born with the luck of heaven and earth, and comprehend the power of heaven and earth, so the heart of saints can affect the way of heaven.
Li Mu has been irritable and confused in his heart for the past few days, and he is depressed, the sky of ten cities and nine places is gray, with occasional rain, and the time is already late autumn, and every day is colder than the day, avoiding the emergence of plague.
In the end, under the arrangement of Zhang San and Mu Qing, the two ministers of Dayue, the fire-based warriors and warlocks in the army directly began to burn the corpses, while the earth-based warriors were responsible for burying people......
Li Mu has been following.
He was depressed to the extreme, a little numb and constantly digging pits, burying people, digging pits, burying people......
Until, Zhang San came in person and said, "My lord, Li Yushu, the hall master of the Northern Song Dynasty Yipin Sect [Ten Thousand Laws Return to One Hall], ask to see your lord." ”
Today's Li Mu should be regarded as the pillar of Dayue, but what is the specific official rank, even Dayue has been broken, so naturally it is impossible to talk about it.
"Nope. Li Mu was digging a pit in the ground with his hands to bury people, and he didn't turn his head back to the tunnel, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Zhang San nodded, turned around and went back.
Another day.
When Li Mu was collecting the corpses of the slaughtered at Huju Pass, Zhang San came again, his face was embarrassed, and said: "My lord, the son of the Zhu family, a thousand-year-old family, I want to see my lord." ”
"Nope. Li Mu replied that there was no change.
Zhang San opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
An hour later, he returned.
"Asked Qi Huai, the contemporary scholar of the Academy, to see your lord. After a pause, Zhang San added another sentence and said, "Shuchang Qi came to discuss martial arts with adults and confirmed it, he is the second master of the Daoist Academy of the Southern Chu Divine Sect today, and the predecessor who became a saint a hundred years ago. ”
Qi Huai of the Asking Academy, a once famous figure of the moment, the pride of the sky a hundred years ago, once caused a sensation for a period of time.
"Nope. Li Mu's answer did not change anything.
He's a bit of a bull now.
Just like Guo Jing in the Condor Shooting, he was confused, and he didn't want to use force with others, but was thinking about where the road was and where the meaning of practicing martial arts was.
Many people of great wisdom have crossed thousands of dangers and obstacles, but they often encounter some small things, but they can't see through them, and they are not willing to let go.
Li Mu even knew that it was wrong for him to do this.
However, he just couldn't let go.
Zhang San hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
......
......
"What?
A hint of yin appeared on Qi Huai's face.
Southern Chu is a water town, many mountains and rivers, but also many miasma poisonous insects, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, the Southern Chu people have many rebellious generations, but also many Yin owl disciples, Qi Huai is a typical Southern Chu character.
He was a young man, he entered the holy realm a hundred years ago, and now, he is only more than one hundred and fifty years old, the age of ordinary martial artists is considered middle-aged and elderly, and for saints, such an age seems to be the rising sun, it is the time when the heroic posture is vigorous, the Dao Academy is the protector of the Southern Chu Divine Sect, and as the second strongest person in the Dao Academy, he is also the second strongest person in the Southern Chu, and his identity is even more noble to the extreme.
After entering the saint, penance for a hundred years, cultivation for diligence, this time, there is the meaning of competing with the world's heroes, this time to the north, to the territory of the Great Moon Kingdom, said to be with Li Mu to confirm what he has learned, but in fact, it is to challenge the position of the world's strongest man who has not yet sat on the hot seat.
Who knows, directly rejected.
"Your family, aren't you injured that haven't healed?" Qi Huai looked at Zhang San and said with a gloomy face.
Zhang San said: "My lord is very good, it's just that I don't want to do anything with people recently." ”
Qi Huai smiled faintly and said, "I have heard that Li Mu of Western Qin is the most unscrupulous, pointing at the blade, there is no advance or retreat, and he doesn't want to sit on the throne of the first in the world, but he also began to covet his fame, looking forward and backward?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall of the Dragon City Guan Lord's Mansion was furious.
The soldiers of the Great Moon Army regard Li Mu as sacred, how can they allow others to slander him like this?
Mu Qing, an old man with blind eyes, like an angry old Yuan, slammed the iron crutch in his hand to the ground and said, "Since Shuchang Qi is not the vulgar person who is greedy for false fame, why does he want to pick up this time and come to Longchengguan to challenge my family?"
It is rumored that Li Muli was seriously injured after fighting Emperor Qin Ming.
This news has long been spread to the Dayue army, and the people of Dayue have been in a mood and have made some clarifications, but they were soon drowned in all kinds of wind and rain, and in recent days, there are many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, either openly or secretly, coming to Longcheng Pass, secretly provoking, and openly challenging, which has caused a lot of incidents in ten cities and nine places, including Longcheng Pass.
Qi Huai, who is the second person in the Southern Chu Martial Dao, came from afar to challenge at this time, what is the purpose of it, a fool can see it, what is it that is not taking advantage of the danger of others?
Qi Huai looked at Mu Qing with a gloomy face, smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back, walked towards the outside of the main hall, shook his head and said, "A blind man, what does he know about fame and fortune?"
He walked to the gate, and suddenly turned around, in his eyes, heavy pupils loomed, especially his left eye, as if there was a small golden snake swimming, a touch of golden light, from the pupil slightly flashed.
An invisible force flourishes.
Mu Qing only felt that a strange force was used, and he didn't have time to use the crutches to make a move, and with a bang, the crutches exploded, and his whole person flew out upside down, hitting the stone wall behind the main hall fiercely, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"You ......" Zhang San held the ox ear sharp knife in his hand.
Qi Huai smiled slightly: "There are still a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in Dayue, so don't be blind, otherwise, one will die, one less." ”
After saying that, he walked away.
Zhang San's face was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
The remnants of the Great Moon Army, after this ordeal, are really one less to die, any sacrifice must be worthwhile, Qi Huai's strength is too strong, hard work is just to send him to death, there is no certainty, he can't do a battle with no chance of winning.
After all, Mu Qing was a half-saint, and after a little breathing, he came to his senses.
"Something is wrong with the adult's situation. Zhang San said worriedly, these days, when he saw Li Mu's state, he seemed to be in a demon.
Mu Qing nodded, he was blind and clear: "Adults have unparalleled qualifications, but their cultivation is too fast and their combat power is too strong, but after all, they are too young and their strength is growing too fast, and their mood is a little difficult to match. ”
Zhang San said: "How can that be good? This inner demon, if it can't be overcome, what will happen?"
Mu Qing said: "The heart demon degree is not enough, Yu Xiu is no hindrance, it will not decay, but it will be like a walking corpse." ”
"Will the adults spend it?" Zhang San frowned.
Mu Qing said: "Yes." ”
His tone wasn't quite sure.
"How long does it take. Zhang San asked steadily.
Mu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on whether the adults themselves can be the same, maybe an epiphany in an instant, maybe decades, the realization of the demons in the heart lies in one's own body, and has nothing to do with cultivation." ”
Zhang San sighed.
Why is there so many disasters and disasters in the Great Moon Country?
"Don't tell adults about the challenges of all parties. Zhang Sandao.
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, there are some things that you and I have to carry, even if it is a little difficult." ”
"There are more and more people from the major sects and families in the city. Zhang San said: "We have to think of a way, otherwise, these people will begin to test and become more and more unscrupulous." ”
"It's hard. Mu Qing sighed.
At this time, three hundred miles away from Longcheng Pass, in a small alley in Tiger City, a faint baby cry came from under the collapsed attic stone slab, attracting the attention of Li Mu, who was gathering the corpse.
He lifted the stone slab and saw below, in the arms of a dead woman, a baby girl who was extremely weak, using the last strength of her life, crying, desperately sucking her mother's stiff breasts, sucking blood out......
Li Mu's whole person was suddenly struck by lightning.
Immediately, he took the baby girl in his arms.
