Section 21 Carmen the Exile (I)
Thank you dystrike book friends for the monthly pass. Continue to work on the update......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blood and fire!
In the midst of blood and fire, the man holding the big knife is roaring loudly, rushing back and forth, and the knife is shot, all of which are indomitable, fearless, and even welcome the trick of "ending up together".
Tongues of fire spewed, the earth cracked, the picture was strangely distorted, the human body grew to several feet, showing all kinds of strange angles and postures, and at this time, Zhang Yuankong finally began to regain consciousness and realized that he was probably in a dream.
The dream became more and more chaotic, gradually becoming a mess, and all kinds of pictures were shattered, gradually becoming indistinguishable, only the roar, but more and more clear.
"I'm empty...... I have never stopped mourning for Master Wukong! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Horse Road Empty ...... Actually, it's Ma Mourning, right? ”
Finally woke up, Zhang Yuankong said a word, and only then began to feel pain all over his body, and there was an unbearable itching sensation in the middle.
"Yo, you're finally awake."
Still full of sarcasm from the first word, hearing Zhang Yuankong's movements, Carmen leaned over, looked at his face, and took a bowl of black potion.
"If you can sit up, you can drink it yourself...... I've been feeding you for the past few days, and I'm going to count the money when I turn around! ”
"How many days?"
struggled to sit up, and the resulting throbbing pain made Zhang Yuankong sizzle and inhale the cold air.
"It's the third day!"
His head was still a little groggy, and Zhang Yuankong tried to concentrate and think back to what had happened before
"That day, and then ......?"
On that day, the horse road was empty...... Or rather, Ma Mourningkong, he suddenly attacked, the first knife slashed Zhang Yuankong--- although it was a violent sneak attack, but in the face of Zhang Yuankong, who was much stronger than him, this knife failed to work after all.
The reaction was extremely fast, and at the same time as hitting Zhang Yuankong hard, Ma Mourning Kong had already chosen the next target, Zhang Yuankong remembered, it was the general of the Yi Siba Xi Army, it seemed to be called Sandanba, his skills were already weaker than Ma Mourningkong, and he was still attacked by the other party, he didn't even have time to pull out his sword, and he was cut into two pieces.
And what happened later, Zhang Yuankong couldn't think of it for a while, his mind was groggy, he thought about it for a while, he didn't have a clue at all, but felt that his body hurt again.
"In whose hands did he die in the end? Fengxiang shooter? Or Yiren? How's the village on Taiping Road? Did you take it down? ”
“…… Da Zhenren, you'd better look around first. ”
"Huh? …… What's going on, this is there? ”
was reminded by Carmen, Zhang Yuankong noticed that this was not a rest ward, but a cave where the ghost knew where, dark and damp, and there were insects and ants crawling on the ground, and he was placed on a stone, and a circle of broken flower stems and leaves was sprinkled around the stone--- although he didn't know what kind of flowers it was, but at least, the insects and ants that Zhang Yuankong saw, as long as they approached this circle of broken leaves, they would quickly turn around and crawl away.
"That guy, he's not dead."
"How is that possible?"
Recalling, Zhang Yuankong already knew that Ma Miankong had been hiding his strength all along, but even so, how could he rush out of those thousands of generals?
He ...... Not only did he rush out by himself, but he also helped the people of Taiping Road to relieve the siege! ”
It sounds terrifying and abnormal, to put it bluntly, but it is actually ridiculous: Ma Mourning made a shot, the first knife seriously injured Zhang Yuankong, the second knife killed Sandanba, and when the third knife was shot, it was still the general of the Yisi Ba Xi army.
“…… As a result, they set themselves on fire and rose up. ”
"Amiridding, did they regard Ma Miankong as an assassin arranged by Wang De and Xue Ranwei in advance?"
Looking at Carmen suspiciously, Zhang Yuankong couldn't understand why: it is true that the relationship between the two armies is very poor, but it has developed to a direct fire...... This kind of thing can no longer be explained by the reason of "the relationship is very bad"!
"It's useless for you to look at me like that...... I also want to know what's going on. ”
On that day, Amiridin seemed to hesitate only for a short time--- then he blushed, waved the long knife in his hand, and made a decision.
"Kill, kill all these damned infidels!"
In this way, Ma Mourningkong's almost suicidal behavior brought about an avalanche-like change, and the two armies that were still joining forces to blockade the periphery and study the attack strategy just now suddenly turned their faces and fought each other viciously.
"And then, that guy, he ran away."
Escaping into the village, what Ma Mourning Kong brought was cheers and welcomes, after all, there have always been people watching the movement outside, Ma Mourningkong's actions, and the Taiping Daoists guarding the village are all in their eyes.
"He ran away, and I want to run too, but then I think about it, you have advanced your wages these days...... To be a human being, you must be worthy of your conscience. ”
In this way, Carmen grabbed Zhang Yuankong, escaped from the whirlpool of fighting, hid in the mountains, and treated him as much as possible.
"In good conscience, in fact, your wound was really not cut by that guy...... Later, the two armies were in a scuffle, and you were caught in the middle and stepped on and down, only to get this injury. ”
Without Carmen to explain more, Zhang Yuankong touched the wounds on his body and could understand that this must be the result of the melee. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he looked at Carmen--- did not thank him, and his expression became more serious.
"You can snatch me out of the chaos...... It's not just Ma Mourning who has concealed his skills. ”
"Well, I can't help it."
Nodding his head with a big grin, Carmen said that he had been in the world alone for so many years, and in a few moments, he would have become a corpse on the side of the road, and he didn't know how many times he had died.
"No thanks, just count the salary!"
“…… I'm not going to thank you. ”
Staring at Carmen, Zhang Yuankong said: "I've been thinking about this matter for a long time. ”
"Carmen, you're also from Taiping Dao, right?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure you want to know the answer?"
looked at Zhang Yuankong with a smile and stared for a while, but Carmen suddenly sighed and looked serious.
"Forget it, today is probably the last time we will see each other...... I'm too lazy to ramble about anything. ”
"I'm not a Taipingdao."
"But I'm a fellow peaceman."
"Pursue the heart of peace...... Yixia is the same! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carmen is from overseas, Zhang Yuankong knows this, she escaped by offending people, and Zhang Yuankong also knows this.
But he didn't know...... What kind of person did Carmen offend!
"We cut off the heads of two kings, exiled and expelled twenty."
proudly told Zhang Yuankong that he came from a distant place, that it was a land that was not inferior to Great Xia, and that was a civilization that was not inferior to Great Xia.
"But we are not one country, we are dozens of countries...... It is said that we have been ruled by the same emperor in history, but that was at least a thousand years ago. ”
As Carmen said, in her hometown, there is no organization called "Taiping Dao", but there are people equivalent to "Taiping Dao", and the reason is no different from here in Daxia.
"People, what can you do when you are forced to have no way to live?"
When reminiscing about the old days, Carmen's face had a look of fatigue that could not be hidden.
"You may die if you stand up, but you are more likely to die if you sit at home...... No one is born wanting to walk into a barricade. ”
"Wait, you say, cut off the heads of two kings? More kings exiled? ”
"yes."
Nodding proudly, Carmen told Zhang Yuankong that when the crown landed, she stood under the stage, at the forefront, waving her wine glass and cheering feverishly.
"Two kings were killed, and ten times as many were expelled...... In your hometown, Taiping Dao actually achieved such a victory? ”
Quite surprised, Zhang Yuankong couldn't figure it out anyway, why did the place where Carmen came come to such a point?
"Victory?"
Laughing bitterly, Carmen's laughter was not joyful, but rather the sad song of a lone wanderer at night.
"When the king's head hits the ground, we thought it was a victory......"
Carmen once celebrated the fall of the tyrant with his fellow believers, holding flags and weapons aloft, and cheering songs of her own composition. Whether it is a majestic royal palace or an eerie prison city, these once invulnerable places are easily shattered by the furious, agitated, and crowds like the tide of the sea.
The king fled in a hurry, the queen fled in a hurry, and the great nobles who had been in the country for thousands of years fled in a hurry, and they who were once high above suddenly became the most humble characters, trying to hide themselves like voles, trying every means to escape from this tide of anger. The lucky few managed to leave, taking their surnames and what little possessions they had left, but most were swallowed up by the wave and never reappeared.
"Those stupid people...... They didn't know that times had changed. ”
Recalling how a noblewoman had been caught, Carmen could not help but smile: at that time, under the protection of some of the bravest and most loyal musketeers, the noblewoman had almost managed to escape, but looking at the reveling crowd, she could not restrain herself, forcibly stopped her escape, and issued the most vicious curses and insults towards the symbol of the revolution.
"They were deceived by their lies...... They really thought their blood was blue. ”
Sneering, Carmen told Zhang Yuankong that in her hometown, there was no such summary as "the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", let alone those cloth-clothed sons who "carried a three-foot sword and took the world". The kingship and the divine right are closely combined, and it has taken thousands of years to tell the people that the king and the nobles are the elect pleasing to God, and their lineage itself determines that they are qualified to rule.
"What have we done to dispel this lie!"
At that time, the Carmen had to walk from village to village, gather the astonished lords, and cut off the heads of the lords and priests in front of them, so that they could see that these people were no different from themselves, and neither their noble blood nor the name of the gods could guarantee their survival.
"At that time...... In the ecstasy, we all thought that this was a victory. ”
"So, then?"
"And then?"
After asking a rhetorical question, but not needing Zhang Yuankong's answer, Carmen muttered: "Then, many years later, we realized one thing. ”
"The king's head falls to the ground, not the end, but the beginning...... The real nightmare has just begun! ”
