Chapter 327: Meow
"No, I don't need disciples, and I don't need the same kind."
The man covering his face groaned and let go of his arm.
Madness faded from the boy's blood-red eyes, and the chains slackened and fell to the ground.
He watched the harsh figure that raised him disappear into the wind and sand, as if he was gone.
"Am I unlucky...... Everyone will leave me eventually. ”
The boy muttered to himself.
"He didn't abandon you. He simply chose to face his fears alone. ”
Mulan whispered. She was well aware that there was unimaginable fear hidden in the depths of the wind and sand.
"Aren't you enemies! How dare you conclude what Master is thinking! ”
"Probably because we all have our own hometowns to protect."
...
Many people have the impression that there are only five guards of the Great Wall, but this is not the case.
Xuan Ce, who was scared and cried because of the bomb he made, was cut off by the covenant, and was condemned by the townspeople and fled.
One day after finally getting his wish and joining the Great Wall Guards, he and the two brothers became teammates......
Shen Mengxi, height 151, mixed human and demon, energy source, mechanism, people also call him the demon seed cat who makes explosive bombs.
Life motto: The son of the Great Wall, return to the Great Wall.
Half of the family tree made Shen Mengxi firmly believe that he was the "son of the Great Wall", and was determined to become a member of the guard army and get ahead.
People did not recognize his "heirloom" in bombing, and scoffed at the ideals of this naughty ghost.
The encounter with the peony monk became a turning point of fate, and under the guidance of the man, he blew up the enemy's retreat on time, became a hero and joined the guards, not wanting to reunite with his long-time enemies Baili brothers on the road to solving the food problem......
The majestic Great Wall, an ancient miracle. Who built it? Who watches over it? Who sleeps beside it? Who is blessed by it to be happy in the end?
In the half of the genealogy that Shen Mengxi treasured, he didn't know the authenticity, and there was the answer to this question from his ancestors.
It's something that the poor half-blood race is proud of.
"For the gods who seek happiness to go west, their footprints leave this path. We follow in the footsteps of the gods and want to go to the place of happiness. After a long journey through rebellion, disease, and a long journey, the spear-wielding half-blood demon hunter led us to the Great Wall. This has been our home ever since. ”
According to the genealogy, Shen Mengxi's ancestors settled under the Great Wall.
They cleaned up the buildings, raised the flags, brewed fine wine, and even cleared the rocks with explosive bombs, and even accidentally dug up strange large traps.
From generation to generation, the banner of the Great Wall has changed into Heluo, and the barren fields of the past have been reclaimed and towns have been erected.
It is the Great Wall Guards who bring all the prosperity, and it is also Shen Mengxi's yearning and desire.
Half of the family tree convinced him that he was the son of the Great Wall, and that the son of the Great Wall would eventually return to the Great Wall.
But in reality, his dreams seem ridiculous.
At least no one believed that the Great Wall Guards would recruit such a ragged, small half-blood.
In the days when the market opened, Shen Mengxi also set up a simple stall to sell the explosive bombs he made, but no one cared.
"I'll tell you, it's my family heirloom. Don't look at such a small piece, but it's powerful enough to blast through the pits of Jade City! ”
"Braggart kids, fireworks on New Year's Day."
"Yes, yes, how could the government allow the sale of truly powerful explosive bombs."
"The world's number one proficient bomb genius doesn't need anyone's permission!" The irascible Shen Mengxi tried to prove himself, but the explosive bomb that was thrown out suddenly only scared a child, and the lead was snuffed out by a dexterous hand before it burned out.
The tall boy with a shotgun on his shoulder picked up his crying brother and gently patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
The reputation of the Baili brothers in the town is obviously much higher than that of Shen Mengxi.
So in the angry condemnation of the onlookers bullying the child, Shen Mengxi, who was still a child himself, could only hold his head and run away.
"Abominable, abominable, abominable." Shen Mengxi squatted on the edge of the low cliff, looking at the Great Wall. Half of the family tree was in my arms.
"It seems that you yearn for the Great Wall."
A suave voice sounded in the background. Shen Mengxi turned his head, and at some point, there was a monk standing behind him, his exquisite clothes were incompatible with this place, embroidered with the dark lines of peonies. He also carried a jug of wine in his hand.
"Someday, I'll join the Great Wall Guards." Shen Mengxi puffed up.
I don't know why, Fang Shi's voice has a kind of magic that makes people involuntarily open their hearts.
"I once knew a guy who was good at mechanics." Fang Shi looked out at the Great Wall in the distance.
"It was the last memorial, but I didn't expect it...... I'm afraid it's also a kind of fate. Are you willing to go to Chang'an with me? ”
"I don't want to." Shen Mengxi refused without hesitation.
"I'm going to stay here, I'm going to go back to the Wall. I'll get ahead at the Great Wall! ”
Fang Shi smiled as if he was immersed in a memory, not angry at the refusal.
He looked at Shen Mengxi, but the flickering light in his pupils seemed to pass through his body, looking at the distant side.
"Joining the Great Wall Guards, is that the happiness you dream of?"
"Yes!"
"Then, do as I say, and you'll get what you want."
The fragrant wine was solemnly poured on the ground.
Once, twice, three times...... Shen Mengxi couldn't help but fold his hands with Fang Shi, close his eyes and pray, hoping that the ancestor would bless him to realize his wish.
In the days that followed, Shen Mengxi repeatedly experimented and improved his explosive bombs, waiting for the moment of Fang Shi's prediction.
Time passed, and sure enough, a notice was posted in the town, announcing the news that Su Lie, the general of the guard army, had agreed to jointly hold a closing of the city with the lord of Yucheng, who had occupied the trade routes in the desert land in the clouds for many years.
Shen Mengxi followed the instructions of the priest and took advantage of the night before the closure of the city to place the elaborate explosive bombs in the place that had already been observed.
"When the market is closed, there will be an attack by gangsters. If you cut off his retreat with a blast bomb, you will become a hero to save the Great Wall and fulfill your wish. ”
The bustling city of Guan, where people come and go. People laughed and laughed, and vaguely glimpsed the figure of the Baili brothers shuttling through.
When the sun sets, the bustle of Seki is at its peak.
It's been a long time since there's been such a grand event, and people are even preparing to celebrate peace and prosperity with a feast over a bonfire.
Only Shen Mengxi's heart was filled with Fang Shi's promise, anxiously calculating the timing of the detonation.
The wait is always long and torturous, is Fang Shi's words true? But the strong desire in his heart is overwhelming, and he must win the turn of fate.
Is the Ancestor, who is also good at making explosive bombs, his soul turned into one of the twinkling stars above his head, and is watching his actions?
When he decided to embark on the path that the gods had walked, did he have such a strong will in his heart?
