Chapter Seventy-One: The Ancient Battlefield
There was more than one person who predicted that the world would be chaotic, and it really became chaotic for no reason.
First, the Jin State sent troops to the Fengtian Dynasty, and then the Jianghu people led by Jianshan vigorously crusaded against the Wuji Palace and the Dark Corner Domain, advocating to dispel the darkness and welcome the light.
It was rumored that the young mountain lord of Sword Mountain proposed to change the face of this mighty force, and since there was a unified pace, it was better to form an alliance.
In addition, there seems to be a group of people in the world, they have incomparable faith, praying for a hundred years of longevity, in the process, they are also really benefited, they can be so magical that they don't eat or drink for a few days, they are still strong, those minor illnesses and disasters have long been gone, so, this spiritual organization is like a seedling after the rain, began to grow wildly, faintly has spread all over the country, every town, every alley.
All kinds of strange images are connected in one place, so that the land seems to be infected with diseases, and it is full of holes.
After more than ten years of the battle of Fengjin, the troops were sent again, and the soldiers came to the city under the Yuntian City, and the Yuntian City held on for more than ten days, and finally was trampled under the horse's hooves by the iron floating slaughter of the Jin State, so far the Yuntian City became an empty city, and the same as Yuyang Pass became a pile of ruins, and the two Xiongguan that once stood in the northern land looked at each other from afar, and then did not distinguish each other, the same dilapidated.
In Jin Bing's view, today's Fengtian is simply like mud, almost scattered in a rush, and has no power to fight back, and the next thing to do is to continue to expand the fruits of victory, advance the battle line to Zhongjing, and prepare in advance for the subsequent occupation.
Out of the range of Yuntian City, it is the endless desert yellow sand, so if you want to move forward and set foot in Zhongjing, the first thing to do is to cross this desert, so, in the next time, Jin Bing gave up guarding Yuntian City, and began to renovate the military horses to prepare to cross the vast sea of sand.
Of course, there are also people on the Jin Bing side who advocate giving up the idea of traveling long distances, and then choose to detour to the ancient town of Qinhuang for a generation, so that supplies can be obtained at any time along the way, although this proposition has also been supported by some people, and naturally there will be people who oppose it, and the reason for the opposition is that such a roundabout march will be completely exposed under the noses of the Divine Arrow Tribe, which is somewhat undesirable.
So, the final outcome is still being discussed.
......
Between the Western Wilderness and the border of Mukden, there are innumerable earthen forts, once here was an ancient city wall that stretched for thousands of miles, but no matter how thick the city wall is, it can not resist the invasion of the years, time has left an indelible scar here, and the years have carved a shocking mark here.
Looking from afar, on top of an earthen fort with a strong atmosphere of vicissitudes, there are two figures of a man and a woman sitting on it, the figures of the two are hidden in the withered grass above the earthen fort, and the messy wind is very naughty to pull the ends of the hair of the two, and then, they don't seem to notice this, the two are quiet alone back to back, as if recalling the time that has passed.
The woman's eyes were solemn, looking at the desolate earthen fort, she was shocked for no reason, this has nothing to do with the height of the realm, even if you are strong, you will not escape the fate of being polished by the years.
The woman seemed to feel it, and sighed in a low voice: "Why, people always get old?"
The man was silent.
The woman touched her elbow and said unhappily: "Xiao Jiansheng, this girl is asking you." β
Xiao Jiansheng held a withered grass that did not rejuvenate due to the rotation of the seasons, and replied lightly: "If you are afraid of death, you can become an immortal, it is said that the days of immortals are very leisurely, and you don't have to worry about wind and sun when you hide in the clouds and mist all day long." β
Ma Fu seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with this answer, and frowned: "Maybe you have a misunderstanding of the immortals, they are actually not as good as you, if you can eat the incense in the world, it is better, and those who can't eat it are like you were hungry every day, isn't it boring?"
It seems that Xiao Jiansheng is very satisfied with this statement, in this way, isn't his previous difficult days better than the free days of immortals, he asked with a smile: "This is the reason why Ma Fengchuan is not an immortal?"
Ma Fu nodded and said: "This is also the reason why Lu Zu can't look at you, if you cut off his incense, he will naturally take your life, but it's a pity that the gods also miscalculate, otherwise you will die." β
Xiao Jiansheng asked, "For example?"
Ma Fu smiled: "For example, he didn't calculate that someone stood as tall as them and saw as clearly, so after you were born, he played a game of chess in Chaotian Mountain." β
Xiao Jiansheng was slightly amazed, and after his mood returned to calm, he asked, "Are you talking about the second elder of Shoutiannu?"
Marf nodded and said, "yes, no one but them can stand at that height." β
Xiao Jiansheng seemed to find it boring to discuss this issue, so he leaned hard against Ma Fu, changed the topic and said, "Is the dragon relic you handed over to Huo Qingcheng true or false?"
Ma Fu suddenly smiled: "Now it seems to be fake, it should really have been taken away by Ma Xingkong, over the years, Ma Xingkong should have transferred the books in the arsenal, the Ma family's arsenal seems to have countless books, but in fact the interior is empty, sad." β
Xiao Jiansheng was surprised: "What is the purpose of the person surnamed Ma?"
Ma Fu turned around and angrily slammed Xiao Jiansheng, and said fiercely: "You scold him for not taking me, don't forget that this girl is also surnamed Ma." β
Xiao Jiansheng stole a few laughs and said solemnly: "What is the purpose of Ma Xingkong?"
Ma Fu said helplessly: "Daddy said that he is merging the Nine Heavens Testament, and if he can really get his wish, he will be very strong in the future." β
Xiao Jiansheng suddenly fell into deep thought, and it seemed that it took a long time before he asked in a low voice, "How strong will it be, can you challenge Ma Fengchuan?"
Ma Fu snorted and said: "Naturally, the gathering of the Nine Heavens Testament, even if it is only a part, is infinitely useful, and when the time comes, heaven and earth will open a door for him, and he will really borrow something outside the door, which can be unimaginably powerful." β
Xiao Jiansheng sighed heavily, and said bitterly: "This is the real reason why you left the Ma family."
Right? Saving me is just a matter of convenience. β
Ma Fu ignored Xiao Jiansheng, slowly got up, walked to the edge of the earthen fort, and looked condescendingly, as if he had the whole world in his eyes.
Xiao Jiansheng chased after him unwillingly, after Ma Fu heard his footsteps, he suddenly spread his arms and flew up like a phoenix, Xiao Jiansheng sighed and scolded: "Dead girl." β
......
The night is approaching, Xiao Jiansheng Mafu appeared on the streets of Qinhuang Ancient Town, compared to before, there are many more people in Qinhuang Ancient Town, even if it is almost night, the streets are still crowded.
Both of them walked slowly without saying a word, and they didn't seem to be interested in anything, but when they encountered a simple restaurant, Ma Fu suddenly became interested, and took Xiao Jiansheng's arm and dragged it in, and as soon as the two sat down, the diligent guy appeared like a ghost.
The guy seemed to have a lot of eyesight, and looked at the two of them for a while, and then smiled: "Although the store is small, it has everything, what can be eaten by the outside world, there are a lot of things in the store, and what can be drunk from the outside world, the store can still drink, I don't know what the two of you command?"
Xiao Jiansheng pursed his chapped lips and said with a smile: "Let's have a pot of hot tea to moisten my throat first." β
Ma Fu immediately interrupted him and said, "Let's try the authentic barren wine at the altar first." β
The guy glared at Xiao Jiansheng without a trace, and then said to Ma Fule: "May I ask if the girl wants ten years or twenty years?"
"Is there such a distinction?" Ma Fu immediately became excited, waved his hand and said: "Twenty years of an altar, no...... Two altars. β
The guy snickered and walked away.
Xiao Jiansheng looked at the madman and looked at Ma Fu, and said worriedly: "Can you not get drunk on the streets of Qinhuang Ancient Town this time?"
Ma Fu shook his head and said, "What are you worried about?"
Xiao Jiansheng shook his head speechlessly.
Ma Fu asked, "Worried that this girl will take advantage of you?"
Xiao Jiansheng snorted.
Ma Fu laughed and said, "Then as you wish, this girl has decided to study it carefully, how shameless are you." β
Xiao Jiansheng hurriedly said: "Study a man, the more you study, the more you will fall into it, especially a beautiful man like me who wants to have character and good looks." β
Ma Fu stomped on Xiao Jiansheng's toes fiercely, and sneered, "Do you have it?"
Soon, the authentic barren wine was hugged by the smiling guy, and Mafu naturally drank it openly.
......
An inn facing the street, it seems that because of the recent crowds in the ancient town of Qinhuang, the only inn is only the only sword room left, Xiao Jiansheng is helpless, and he helped the drunk Mafu to push open the door of the guest room, close the door, light the lamp and candle, throw Mafu on the bed, and sober up on the ground while thinking about some problems.
Since getting rid of Yan Yici and leaving Jianshan, especially after listening to Ma Fu's words on the earth fort, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and he was very worried that Ma Xingkong was really as Ma Fu said, and after melting the Nine Days Testament, he would really have no place to live at that time.
At this moment, Ma Fu stumbled into Xiao Jiansheng's arms, she hugged his waist, raised her face and said, "Actually...... What you said makes a lot of sense. β
Xiao Jiansheng asked confusedly: "That, it's better to make it clear, I'm a golden sentence." β
Ma Fu punched him in the chest and said with a smile: "This girl can't stop studying you anymore, is there no cure?"
Xiao Jiansheng frowned, quickly helped the person to the bed, then turned around, didn't dare to take another look, just sat on the ground I don't know when, he now fuses the will of Wuji and Cang'er, although it seems to belong to him, but the will of these two people is still incompatible in his body, and it is impossible to mobilize at the same time, and Wuji's will is too surging, until now he can't understand it, those eaten leaves, just turned into juice and stored in his body, and he can't absorb them all, and now with Cang'er's, it makes him feel more and more anxiousγ
Thinking that Ma Xingkong might be so powerful that he could not be beaten, Xiao Jiansheng didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and began to dive into those juices, absorbing them frantically at the fastest speed, and after about an hour, he sealed those juices again, and began to understand Cang'er's will, and in a flash, he appeared on an ancient battlefield.
At this time, on the vast battlefield, two heavy armored cavalry like a big river were charging, the horse's hooves stepped on the earth, the earth trembled, the war horse neighed, like a muffled thunder in the sky, when the two heavy armored cavalry strangled in one place, the blood mist covered the sky, it seemed to dye the clouds blood, and the whole world changed to only one color, that is, blood.
It was too spectacular, too shocking, Xiao Jiansheng wanted to get up and get closer, just to experience the scene of the fight, however, the huge momentum swallowed his thoughts in an instant, he had to stay away, watching hundreds of thousands of people fighting each other, watching the flying blood splash in the wind.
The battle lasted for three days before the curtain came to an end with the total annihilation of one side, and the victorious side did not clean up the battlefield, but stood on the battlefield with neat military horses, and the eyes of people and war horses were staring at the bloody earth at the same time.
It seemed that it took a long time for some of the soldiers to come back to their senses, and then looked at Xiao Jiansheng, a general like an iron tower, pointed at Xiao Jiansheng with a blood-dripping war knife, and said with a smile like a bell: "Have you seen enough?"
Xiao Jiansheng hurriedly shook his head.
The general laughed and said, "In that case, would you like to join our Iron Battalion?" β
Xiao Jiansheng nodded in a daze.
Then, a soldier pulled off the broken armor from a corpse, picked up a bloody saber, and walked towards Xiao Jiansheng.
Under the gaze of the soldier, Xiao Jiansheng neatly put on the armor that smelled of blood, and chose a war horse that was not too seriously injured, stepped on it, and clenched it
The hilt of the knife charged towards an ancient city that he was completely unfamiliar with, and in the distance he saw a row of flags fluttering in the wind above the city's head, and a large desolate word was written on the flag.
This is the former Western Wilderness, and the iron-blooded camp where Xiao Jiansheng is located belongs to Qin.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Jiansheng's iron-blooded battalion was ready to charge the city, he could see thousands of arrows and fires above the city head aimed at them in unison, saw the pair of bloody eyes above the city head, and saw the green tendons on the backs of their hands tightly clenched with swords and bows.
With the sound of a horn piercing the sky, the Iron Blood Battalion completely let go of the horse's speed, and rushed towards the city with a fierce and death-defying impact, and the arrows above the city that could not see the trajectory fell like raindrops, piercing into the eyes of the Iron Blood Battalion's dying eyes, penetrating their bodies, and penetrating the horse's head......
Xiao Jiansheng felt a deep fear, he didn't dare to look at the arrow, he didn't dare to look at the fallen companions around him, he closed his eyes tightly, any war horse dragged along, let his companions embrace, and rushed to the edge of death.
Suddenly, his horse let out a miserable roar, and a sharp arrow pierced through the horse's head and into his abdomen, and finally he staggered a few times and fell to the ground.
I don't know when, Xiao Jiansheng woke up, he was already soaked with sweat, he still only closed his eyes, not daring to look at the corpses around him.
At this moment, someone laughed in his ear, "Is it fun?"
Xiao Jiansheng subconsciously shook his head: "It's not fun, where human life is no different from a piece of grass, grass can also go through the changes of the four seasons, leaving roots in winter, and continuing to sprout in spring, and once a person dies in battle, he will close his eyes forever." β
Xiao Jiansheng slowly opened his eyes as he spoke.
He saw Mafu and smiled like a savior.
Suddenly, he was surprised: "You...... Aren't you drunk?"
Ma Fu sneered: "It's already three days later, and no matter how strong the wine is, there is a time to sober up." β
Xiao Jiansheng snorted, it really felt a little incredible.
What happened next, perhaps, was even more incredible.
In front of him, Ma Fu took off the clothes on his body, the snow-white figure was not a trace of unnaturalness, dangling in front of him, her smile was very calm, without a trace of shyness, it seemed that Xiao Jiansheng was a little surprised, Ma Fu came over, bent down and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You said it, we are brothers, since we are brothers, there is nothing unusual, of course, you can also be like me." β
Xiao Jiansheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm not as thick-skinned as you." β
Ma Fu no longer wanted to take care of Xiao Jiansheng, got up and walked towards the simple bath tub, and after a few breaths, the sound of rushing water could be heard in the bath tub.
Xiao Jiansheng sighed, opened the door and walked out.
He didn't go back until very late, she was only wrapped in a thin nightgown, sitting at a table, and she was quietly writing at the desk with pen, ink and paper that she found nowhere.
Xiao Jiansheng walked over, looked at it quietly for a while, he knew some words, but he didn't understand the meaning when they were connected, some of them were simply very angry, it didn't seem to be words at all, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Ma Fu didn't look up, and said with a slight smile: "The nine-day suicide note of the Ma family's arsenal." β
Xiao Jiansheng let out a long exhalation in surprise and asked in a low voice, "What's the use of copying it?"
Ma Fu smiled at Xiao Jiansheng, raised the ink-stained pen and clicked an ink spot on the tip of his nose, and then said with a smile: "Give it to you or not, this girl has thought about it, since Ma Xingkong can fuse the Nine Heavens Suicide Notes, with the memory of this girl, you can also copy all the suicide notes in the Ma family's arsenal, and you can also fuse them when the time comes." β
Xiao Jiansheng was shocked and took a few steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Isn't there something wrong, we have known each other for a short time, such a valuable gift, if my subordinates really have no reason, but you can fuse, your Dao is far longer than mine, my Dao has already walked the road, I am afraid that it will destroy the heavens." β
Ma Fu wrote a few more lines silently, sighed and stopped, then got up and said: "Actually, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, the arsenal of the Ma family originally belonged to the people of the world, but I was reluctant to hand him over to the people of the world, so after thinking about it, I can only hand it over to you." β
Xiao Jiansheng said strangely: "Why me, Dou Xiuqi is more suitable for these than me, and there are many people who are more suitable for fusing the Nine Heavens Testament than me......"
Ma Fu covered Xiao Jiansheng's mouth with his hand and didn't let him continue.
Then he pointed to the pages he had just copied and said, "Everyone is selfish, for me, this selfishness will be even heavier, after all, this Nine Heavens Testament is not an ordinary cultivation secret book, once it enters the human world, it will inevitably cause a huge impact, and I don't believe those people you said, naturally they would rather break it than give it to them?"
Xiao Jiansheng pointed to his nose and said with a wry smile: "Then you believe me? Don't you keep saying that I am shameless and shouting that you are fooled?"
Ma Fu casually flipped through a page of paper that dared to enter the paper, and said with a faint smile: "After all...... I've been studying you for days, and as you said, studying a man can make a woman unable to extricate herself, and that's exactly what I'm doing now. β
Suddenly, Ma Fu's face was a little abnormally red, and he quietly took Xiao Jiansheng's hand and said in a low voice: "No matter what, I enjoy this feeling of being unable to extricate myself, fascinated by the drunkenness brought by the wine, once, I saw myself as an omnipotent genius, but when I looked back, I suddenly found that this omnipotence trapped himself in an iron cage, and he was unable to live a normal life, if he wanted to choose the same between Tao and life, now Ma Fu would not hesitate to choose life, not Tao." β
This question seems superficial, but Xiao Jiansheng can't answer it anymore, although he racked his brains, he still can't figure out why Ma Fu suddenly changed, and to change so much, he really can't figure it out, he doesn't bother to think about it anymore.
looked at Ma Fu and said with a smile: "You give me these, it should be conditional, you might as well say it first, if the conditions allow, I will accept it." β
