Chapter 15: Retreat from the Enemy
A few hours later, the last hundred-man team left behind outside the forest received a report from a few remnants of soldiers.
These remnants were lucky enough to stand at the very edge of the circle, escaping from the circle's reach at the first moment. In their eyes, they could only see a thick fog in front of them, and then there were fierce shouts and thunder in the fog. It didn't take long for the voices of the robes to fade away, obviously vicious.
"It seems that the demon girl has witchcraft."
The hundred households left behind beat the drum in their hearts, saying that they didn't want to go deep into the woods. But he didn't dare not save it, after all, Shen Lei was his superior, and there were many friendly troops in it. If you don't save Shangguan and don't save your allies, even if Shen Lei dies inside this time, other Shangguan and Pao Ze will not tolerate this kind of behavior in the future.
He thought about it for a long time, sent half of his troops to support, and sent scouts to Ganzhou City for help. He himself stayed outside the forest, waiting for reinforcements from Ganzhou City.
The fifty soldiers who entered the forest were not fools, and they deliberately marched slowly, and the distance that could have been reached in two hours was only half of the way until dark. They camped and rested for the night, and waited until noon the next day to reach the place where the battle had taken place.
The corpses were covered in the woods, and they were greatly shocked. Judging from the wounds, most of these corpses were assassinated by their comrades-in-arms, and they were all burned by thunder and fire in the end. The reverence for the Holy Maiden of Mingjiao in the hearts of the reinforcements reached the highest point.
They spent a lot of effort and found Shen Lei's wreckage. Judging from the corpse, he was killed by a soldier on the way out of the woods.
--------------------
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the entire forest into a golden yellow, a peaceful atmosphere.
On the edge of a clear stream, a bonfire was burning, and a few skewers of fish were roasting on it.
Qingjun sat by the fire, absentmindedly turning the grilled fish, his eyes skimming the stream not far away from time to time. There, Han Qing was taking a bath.
Han Qing noticed Qingjun's shy and burning peeping. A smug smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she deliberately adjusted her bathing posture, showing her perfect body at different angles, seducing the girl not far away.
"Even though I'm a beauty myself, I look at me like a man. What a strange and cute little guy. Hehe, since I have caught your weakness, don't want to escape from my palm again. ”
After Han Qing finished taking a bath, she casually wrapped a towel around her body, walked back barefoot, and sat down beside Qingjun. She clearly felt that because of her proximity, Qingjun had a shy and expectant cramped look, obviously conquered by her charm.
Han Qing gently leaned on Qingjun's shoulder and said softly, "Qingjun, have you thought about your goal in life?" ”
As soon as Han Qing's silky body leaned up, Qingjun felt a burst of confusion. She settled down before she began to answer Han Qing's question.
"The goal of life, embark on the immortal road and live forever."
"Become an immortal?" Han Qing was taken aback.
"I know it's a difficult goal to achieve. I once consulted the Dao Collections of the past dynasties, and the more ancient times were, the more immortals there were, and the more modern times I had, the fewer the number of cultivators who broke through the realm. Since the beginning of this dynasty, even the Ascended One has not appeared. Those who can break through the consummation of Qi training and reach the realm of the unity of heaven and man are only a dozen people in the world. ”
"The elders in the sect all say that the qualifications of the descendants are not as good as the predecessors, but I don't think so."
"The total amount of aura between heaven and earth should be unchanged. All things contain spirits, there are a number of life and death, born in heaven and earth and return to heaven and earth, the absorbed aura will always return to heaven and earth. But the immortals are different, and the aura they absorb belongs to themselves. The higher the cultivation, the more aura is absorbed from heaven and earth at all times. ”
"In the long run, the aura between heaven and earth will naturally dry up."
"It is naturally more and more difficult for the younger generations to ascend to immortals."
Han Qing is gifted and intelligent, although she is not influenced by the law of conservation of mass in later generations like Qingjun, she can easily understand the reasoning logic of Qingjun's words. On top of this, she took it a step further and thought about the process by which the gods absorbed faith.
"I see. No wonder in ancient times, thousands of immortals were rampant. After the canonization of gods at the end of the Shang Dynasty, immortal traces were rare, and Shinto rose. It turned out that the spiritual power between heaven and earth was exhausted, and it was difficult to become an immortal. After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, humanity multiplied, and millions of believers only needed everyone to contribute the power of faith to accumulate food for the gods. Han Qing thought.
Qingjun saw that Han Qing was deep in thought, and immediately regretted it. Such a beautiful woman almost threw herself into her arms, but she seriously talked about her life and ideals with each other. It is no wonder that there is a saying that has been widely circulated in later generations - "studying science and engineering is destined to be lonely for a lifetime".
For a moment, neither of them was silent.
Suddenly smelled a scorching smell, Qingjun jumped up with a "ahh She said with some shame: "It's me who is not good, I only care about talking, and even the fish is scorched." ”
Han Qing came back to her senses, pressed Qingjun's hand, and said softly, "How can Qingjun be blamed for this." I was right next to me, and I didn't look at the heat. ”
She snatched the grilled fish, cut off the burnt part with a scimitar, picked a piece of fish, blew it cold, and sent it to Qingjun's mouth: "Come, Qingjun will eat first." ”
Qingjun shyly resigned: "How can you let Sister Qing feed me?" ”
Han Qing's eyes fluttered, and then he showed a serious expression and asked, "Don't Qingjun like it?" ”
Qingjun was intimidated by the other party's instantaneous amorous feelings, and blushed and kept silent.
Han Qing suddenly approached Qingjun, stretched out her fingers to pick her chin, and asked in a greasy voice, "Do you like it or not?" ”
Qingjun lowered his eyes, didn't dare to look at each other, and said in a low voice: "I like ......"
Han Qing smiled with satisfaction, straightened her waist, and sent the fish to Qingjun's mouth: "It's so good~ Open your mouth, ahhh
--------------------
The two crossed the mountains and gradually entered the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.
Qingjun and Han Qing have never had the experience of surviving in the wild since they were children, and they will inevitably encounter a lot of embarrassing situations these days. The two people support each other, share weal and woe, and their relationship is getting deeper and deeper.
After experiencing the repeated pursuit and killing of the Mongol army, Han Qing thought carefully and guessed that something must have gone wrong with the headquarters of the Ming Sect. She was cautious and decided to wait until the next full moon to perform the Dance of Divine Prayer, and based on the amount of faith power, she could determine whether there was a change in the religion.
Qingjun was reincarnated, and deep down he didn't have too deep feelings for the Heavenly Master's Mansion. On the other hand, after all, even if you are a different person, when you go back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the difference in your daily behavior and way of thinking will definitely be discovered by many people. Now with Han Qing, for Qingjun, every day is very happy. She didn't want to go back more and more.
Han Qing asked her about her plans, and Qingjun bluntly said that she felt that life in the Heavenly Master's Mansion was boring and that she was willing to travel with Han Qing.
