Chapter 870: A Thousand Clay Figures

Wind and sand are the biggest feature of the Western Regions, but wherever it is a little smoother, the wind will blow endlessly. It www.biquge.info windy on sunny days, windy on rainy days, and windy when snowing and hail. The wind blows in the vast Gobi, the majestic passes, and even the rocky Skull Mountain, as if the wind in the Western Regions will never end.

When the wind blows, there is a sound of the wind, and the sound of the wind is heard differently in different places. The wind howled over the woods. The wind on the desert is like billowing smoke and dust, and the momentum is immense. The wind and clouds in the pass roared endlessly. The wind in Skull Mountain was different from these places, it sounded like it was crying, and the more it whimpered, the more weird it became.

According to Su Ren's plan, after leaving Yumen, he should directly enter Ganliang Road, and follow the long canyon all the way east to Jincheng to enter the territory of Dahan. But Su Ren wanted to go to Shanshanguo to see, this is the barrier of Yumen in the southwest, and it is also the first foothold he settled in after coming to the Western Regions, which has a special meaning for Su Ren.

After crossing Bailong Beach, you need to pass through a skull mountain, sandstone created this skull mountain, although it is not big, but no one or caravan has ever dared to stay here, no one else, because this skull mountain once circulated a very strange and tragic legend. It is said that after defeating the lord of Thousand Muds City at that time, the first king of Shanshan executed all the people of Thousand Muds City, regardless of men, women, and children, in order to avenge his subordinates. At that time, although Qianni City was not as prosperous as it is now, it was also a large city with 30,000 people. All 30,000 unjust souls are in this Skull Mountain, and every time the wind blows, the entire Skull Mountain is crying, and some people have even seen ghosts floating out of Skull Mountain. It's not surprising once or twice, but the more times it appears, no one dares to stay here anymore.

The sandstone is carved by the wind and sand, and all kinds of shapes can be found here. Su Ren sighed at the magic of nature while watching. This piece of Skull Mountain is not large, and the tallest sandstone column is only a dozen meters high. Su Ren didn't see such a place when he came to Gansu to play, so he estimated that it would have been blown away by a strong wind two thousand years later.

The wind, at first, whimpered, and slowly as the wind became stronger, painful wails and screams could be heard. If people who didn't know the inside story would definitely be frightened by the sudden sound, Su Ren found that several people had already entered the tent with their heads in their hands.

Hawking took the whip and whipped the frightened guys: "Damn, the eldest brother said that it was the sound of the wind blowing those sandstones, and you were all scared like this, are you fucking soldiers?" Come out, if you don't come out, I'll hurry you all tonight, if you don't believe it, try it! ”

"Yes, all in there! What's so scary? Isn't it just the rumors? "Huo Quzhi is now Hawking's little follower, following Hawking's ass all day long, and has been influenced by Hawking to start killing.

was so frightened by Hawking, those soldiers could only come out honestly, and the expressions on their faces were more ugly than those of their dead parents. Su Ren ignored the group of guys, and stood on the small dirt bag outside the camp and looked at the Skull Mountain in front of him. A white shadow flashed in the sandstone, and the brute bull immediately drew his long sword to block in front of Su Ren, and a faint smile appeared on Su Ren's face: "It's really here?" Go and get ready! ”

Huang 13 agreed, and raised his big axe high. I don't know where a dozen war horses suddenly rushed out, rushing into Skull Mountain in a swarm. The screams rang out immediately, mixed with the whimpering in the wind, sounding eerie. When the knights rushed into the sandstone mountain, the camp saw it so clearly that they forgot their fears and craned their necks to look inside.

There was not much time, and an empty horse ran out of Skull Mountain with its head shaken, obviously frightened by something, shaking its head and scurrying around. It took a dozen people to catch it, but the horse was finished, and his eyes were scattered, and he must have been frightened by something.

Hawking scratched his head and patted Hei Feng twice on the neck: "Big brother, what is it?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "You'll know when you catch it." ”

"Could it be a ghost?" Huo Quzhi asked.

Su Ren glanced back at him: "Have you ever seen a ghost or are you afraid of ghosts?" ”

Huo Quzhi straightened his small chest: "I'm not afraid!" The teacher said that the most terrible thing in this world is people, and I killed one yesterday, how can anyone be afraid of any ghosts? ”

"Then you go in and have a look! See if they catch it? ”

"Ahh Really going? ”

Su Ren smiled: "If you're afraid, forget it!" ”

Huo Quzhi swallowed his saliva and looked at Hawking. Hawking sneered: "Even if it's a ghost, the master has to see and know, drive!" ”

Hawking ran away, Huo Qubing hurriedly followed, and two people and two horses got into the sandstone pile. Han Qing shook his head: "You always said that you were too bold to get sick, and it would be an obstacle for him to lead the troops in the future, why did you let him go today, did you do it on purpose?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "The ignorant are fearless, the reason why this kid is not afraid is because he doesn't know what it means to be afraid, let him see it for himself is to let him know, in fact, the things and things in this world are reasonable, even if he is bold enough to poke a hole in the sky in the future, he will understand the truth, which is good for him!" ”

Han Qing sighed: "It's really the first time I've seen such a sectarian way, I hope so!" ”

Soon, Huo Quzhi was the first to run out of Skull Mountain, urging the horse and shouting: "Catch, catch!" Sir, got it! ”

Dressed in white, skinny, it really doesn't look much different from a skeleton from a distance. Su Ren looked the thing in front of him up and down for a long time, and finally determined that he was by no means a savage, because the eyes of this person showed that he knew what he was doing and what was the result of welcoming him. Although this person was trapped, the soldiers around him were still not at ease, clutching the blades in their hands tightly and looking at him vigilantly.

"Tell me, how many of you still have it? What do you want to do here? ”

The man rolled his eyes: "You are the Han man?" ”

"I know a lot, exactly, I'm that Han man!"

The man suddenly shrank his neck, and Gu Jie all over his body made a crackling sound, and after a breath, the rope on his body actually fell. Before anyone could react, the scimitar in the hand of the guard who was guarding him had already reached the man's hand, and before Huang Shisan and the wild bull stepped forward, a hand like a chicken claw suddenly appeared in front of Su Ren, grabbed Su Ren's collar, and pulled Su Ren into his arms.

"Let them lay down their weapons and take fifty steps back!"

The cold scimitar was on Su Ren's neck, and Su Ren didn't expect things to become like this: "What do you want to do?" ”

Han Qing hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat loudly, he took three steps back and said nervously: "We have no malicious intentions, as long as you let Mr. Su go, everything is easy to say!" ”

The man rolled his eyes and looked at Han Qing: "I know you are his staff, your words don't count, stand back!" Fifty steps, not even one less! As he spoke, the scimitar went deeper into the flesh, and the frightened Han Qing hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat quickly.

The man sneered and said to Su Ren, "See? These are your men, and they will never come to your rescue when you are threatened! ”

Su Ren tried to throw his body back as much as possible, trying to avoid the man's blade: "Slow down, slow down!" We don't mean anything, we just want to talk to your leader, really, I know that you used to be a thousand clay people, and I want to talk to you about the restoration of the country. ”

"Revenge? Are you joking? The man laughed and quacked like a duck: "You are so kind? Do you think I'll believe it? For so many years, we have lived like wandering ghosts, and no one has ever said such a funny joke! You Han people helped King Shanshan recapture Shanshan, don't think we don't know, and now you say that you want to help us restore the country, do you think we are stupid? ”

"I don't know if I'm stupid or not, but I can guarantee that what I said is absolutely true, otherwise there will be no place to die!" Su Ren raised a hand.

The man hesitated slightly: "Really? ”

"I've sworn by me, what do you say?" That person is not bad, he really let Su Ren go like this. Su Ren straightened his clothes and turned his head to look at the man: "Can you tell me your name?" Only the royal family was driven out, and the people and the people were all taken over by King Shanshan, it is indeed not easy for you to live in Skull Mountain for so many years, sit down, let's talk slowly! ”

The matter of the Thousand Clay People is a ballad sung by a bard that Su Ren saw in Gesang's notes. At that time, he was just curious, and after carefully reading the ballad, he found that many things in it were relatively corroborated elsewhere, so Su Ren took it to heart, and specially sent someone to find it, and then found a thousand clay people who had been hidden for more than fifty years.

Looking for Qianniren is not really to restore them to the country, but to bury a nail for Shanshanguo. Among the forces around Yumen, Hami is a small country, and there is no threat to Yumen in terms of both civil power and military strength. The Evil King is in the midst of infighting, as long as Jin Riyan is safe and sound, the Evil King of Hun will not be able to send troops into the Western Regions with peace of mind. King Hutu wants to go east, as long as he goes to the east, the battle between Han and Hungary is probably about to begin, and King Hutu doesn't want to come back. Only Shanshanguo is in some trouble.

Shanshan was supported by him, not only drove away the Mo family and Fang Xiandao, but also regained the throne for King Shanshan, and Shanshan's soldiers and horses did not suffer much loss in the later battles. The most important thing is that Su Ren knows that King Shanshan is not so cowardly, a person who is not cowardly pretends to be cowardly, there must be a problem here, in order to guard against Shanshanguo, the appearance of Qianniren just gave Su Ren an excuse.

"My name is Genoa! It's not a royal family, it's just a guard under the command of my Thousand Muds. Genoa didn't sit down, still holding a scimitar in his hand, looking around vigilantly: "If you are really willing to help our thousand clay people, let me go back, I will explain to the king, if you just deceive me, then kill me, our king will not avenge me, but you will never find my people!" ”

Su Ren nodded: "Okay, you go back and tell your king, I will stay here for three days, if he wants to, come out to see me, if he doesn't want to, we will leave after three days, okay, let him go!" ”
