Chapter 140: Here, the years are quiet
Northern Regions.
The north of the North Pole, five miles long and wide, is deserted everywhere, and a small city hangs alone.
The small town is called Hope, and the population of the city is less than 3,000, and it is deserted, as if there is no hope in sight.
The city is far north, and there are more than eight months of the year when the sun is not visible, more than two months when the sun is less than six hours, and eight hours of the sun can be seen, not more than fifteen days.
This... There is also a premise - there will be no cloudy and rainy days during these fifteen days.
In fact, there is snow in Hope City all year round, and there are at least 300 days a year when there are snowflakes.
It is such a small city, located in the north of the North Pole, 70,000 miles away from the Ten Thousand Demon Imperial Court.
The population of the city is no more than 3,000 all year round.
This is true even if there are men and women in the city, and newborns are born almost every year.
Remember that more than 20 years ago, the population of the city reached an unprecedented 2,968 people.
Three days ago, the 1,679th life in the city was born, a girl, who was born laughing.
It is rumored in the city that this girl will be blessed.
The middle-aged strong man stood on the wall of Hope City and withdrew his gaze from Nanwang.
Turning his head, his consciousness swept away from the City of Hope.
There was a slight pause as he swept past the little girl who had not yet been officially named.
Shen Nian turned into a big hand and gently poked the small pear vortex behind the corner of the girl's mouth.
The sleeping girl's little hand grabbed weakly twice, the strong man smiled, and his thoughts continued to spread.
A moment later, an indifferent voice sounded in the ears of more than a thousand people in the city.
"Prepare for war. β
In the city, gold and iron resonate, and the sound of armor bursts.
At the same time, the middle-aged man on the city wall turned around and looked to the north of Hope City.
Thousands of miles away, a figure appeared out of thin air, looking at Chinese characters across the air.
Behind him, figures gathered.
100 people.
Thousand people.
10,000 people
......
Grinning and licking his lips, revealing a bloody and cruel smile.
The middle-aged man held a long knife and pestle on the wall in his hand, pressed the handle of the knife with both hands, and looked at the leader opposite.
"Yo, puppy, to die again?"
Thousands of miles away, the leader was a yellow-faced and thin old man, listening to the words of the middle-aged man, the old man's yellow face was black.
opened his mouth to scold, but stopped again.
He took a deep breath and looked at the middle-aged man before he calmed down and spoke after a long time.
"King Cang, the old man wants to borrow the City of Hope, and he will return in half a day, and he hopes to make it convenient. β
"Fuck you!"
The middle-aged man flipped over the knife, "Is it that Lao Tzu can't lift it, or is your puppy starting to float?"
"Cangwang," the yellow-faced and thin old man's face darkened a little, and he held back his anger, "The old man doesn't want to start a war at this time, and you want to hope that the city also needs to recuperate."
The old man really came here this time just to borrow the way, and there was no malice. β
After speaking, the old man even swore with his hand, "The old man swears by the avenue, as long as the king of Cang lets him go, the old man will not invade a domain or slaughter a city." β
"So it's to destroy only one courtyard and kill only one person?"
King Cang smiled and lifted the long knife, "Puppy, don't play these tricks with Lao Tzu, they are all leftovers from Lao Tzu's play." β
The long knife pointed, "The name of the knife is the demon of the town, your father died under this knife, your grandfather died under this knife, and your grandfather and grandfather died under this knife."
Want to join the domain?
Come on, let's see how many knives you can carry me!"
"Cangwang!"
The old man's face darkened completely, and his tone was a little cold.
"Although the king of Cang is strong, this king is not unable to hold on for a while.
There are tens of thousands of people under the command of this king, and you hope that there are less than 2,000 people in the city, and there are nearly half of the old and weak women and children, how long can they last?"
"Huh~"
A knife slashed, and the knife qi broke through the air.
Unexpectedly, this guy did not agree with him, and the old man's face changed, and he dodged in a panic.
The knife qi swept silently, and with a single sword, nearly 10,000 people fell from the sky behind him.
King Cang put away his knife and stood in the sky with the void, "I Zhou Cang will suffer everything in my life, but I will not be threatened."
Threaten me with Hope City, right?
Today, Lao Tzu put down his words, whether the soldiers are alive or dead, if you dare to hurt the women and children in the city, I will slaughter your Tengu clan. β
The dog king's face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't make a difficulty.
He believed that if this old bastard dared to say that, he would dare to do it.
And once there is no bond of Hope City, let this bastard really go crazy, and several times the kings will unite to kill him, and he will really have the ability to slaughter one or even several clans before he dies.
This... It is also the reason why it is clear that the city is expected to fall here for thousands of years, and it is extremely an eyesore for every race, but no king has ever taken action to erase it.
"That's it, old rules," the Dog King manifested with his claws in both hands, "Fight!"
"Just in time!"
Cangwang raised his knife to meet it, raised it above his head, and slashed it downward.
The action of the chopping knife was halfway through the split, and the knife suddenly turned, slashing towards the left void.
"Bang~"
Symphony of gold and iron.
"Hmph~"
With a muffled grunt, a black figure flashed out of the void.
"I know that it can't be just a puppy, a void walk, and a cat's innate skills.
The traitors are here today!"
With a look of emotion on his face, King Cang raised the long knife in his hand, "Since you are here, let's stay today!"
......
Eastern Regions.
East of the East Pole.
The majestic hall fell into the void.
The young man in the Nine Dragons robe raised his hand to take pictures of the golden giant sword hanging on the wall, and his figure disappeared out of thin air, and the next moment appeared in the sky.
Looking at the pressure of the army, the face is majestic.
"Emperor Qin, this king wants to borrow the East Pole, and he will rebel in half a day. β
Emperor Qin was not angry, glanced at the person who spoke, and did not answer.
His lips moved slightly, and the word "two words" resounded throughout the city.
"Meet the enemy. β
"Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!"
In the city, ancient war songs sounded.
"How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!"
Figures emerged, wearing armor and standing proudly in the sky.
"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Let's go with my son!"
The battle spirit is condensed, turning into twelve majestic figures that cover the sky and the earth, with their backs to the Xiongcheng and facing the ten thousand armies.
"Kill the enemy with me. β
"Wan Sheng!"
......
Western regions.
West of the West Pole.
The city called Dawn has long since been dilapidated.
There are three creatures in the city, the old man has a broken arm, the child is ignorant, and the yellow dog has no tail.
"Good grandson, tell grandpa, what do you read when you write this word?"
"Grandpa, this word is pronounced 'people'. β
"Yes, people! nothing else, but this word, good grandson must remember it!"
"Well," the childish boy looked up at the old man's kind smile and nodded vigorously, "Grandchild has long remembered." β
"Okay, okay, good to remember, good to remember!"
The old man laughed heartily, his empty sleeves flicked.
The child's eyes gradually lost focus, and his head fell to the table.
Two empty sleeves lifted the child up and placed him on the bed in the inner room.
The cuffs brushed past the head of the bed, and the wooden bed began to sink.
"Grandpa..."
The child, who was supposed to be sleeping, suddenly muttered, "Retreat... Can't you?"
People, stunned, empty cuffs powerless to chase down.
"Retreat?"
muttered softly, and smiled bitterly.
"Behind us is our clan, where is the way to retreat?"
The sleeves of the ruthless coat were brushed, and the wooden bed finally sank into the ground.
Glancing at the long sword, the sword was attached to him.
turned around and walked out, "Lao Huang, can you still fight?"
The tailless yellow dog spat out, "Dare to fight to the death!"
"Good. β
The old man with the broken arm smiled heartily and rose into the air, his empty sleeves fluttering in the wind, like a bright flag.
"King Chen, King of Dogs. β
Outside the city, the three kings stood side by side, with tens of thousands of troops behind them.
"Abandon the city, so that the open road can still live. β
"Live?"
The old man with the broken arm grinned like a bloodthirsty demon.
"Of the 1,379,649 people of my Chen clan, 1,379,648 people have been buried here.
I'm Chen..."
After a sudden pause, he turned his head and looked at Lao Huanggou, "Lao Huang, what's my name Chen?"
When he asked this, the old man's face showed a trace of shame, like a child who asked a low-level question and was afraid of being laughed at.
However, such a low-level question stopped the old yellow dog.
"Yes, old man, what is your name Chen?"
I thought about it, but I didn't think about it.
Shaking his head, "Forget it, what do you call Chen, anyway, there are only two of us left, we are going to die, who else can erect a monument for you?"
"That's right. β
The old man nodded in agreement, raised his head and looked at the three kings opposite.
"As far as the war is concerned, why are you afraid of death and life?"
"That's... Let's fight. β
On the opposite side, the female king in the middle lightly opened her lips, her tone was flat, and there was no blood and rain.
On Dawn City, the long sword behind the old man surnamed Chen, who had forgotten his name, floated up and hung in front of him.
The sword qi was soaring, but the old man could only flick it with his sleeves, "Old man, this time should be your last glory, but it's a pity that I can't hold you in battle anymore." β
With that, he raised his head and looked at the three kings outside the city.
"I have a sword, but I can cut off immortality, who will come?"
The three kings were silent, and their figures floated.
"Up!"
......
The Southern Regions, the South of Antarctica.
Above the ruins, there was a city gate.
The city gate is broken, and the word "Nantian" is faintly visible.
Outside the door, blood flowed and the sky was drenched in blood.
There were four remnants of soldiers inside the door.
The spear was shattered, and the big man's pupils were broken and he was lying on the ground, wanting to look back on his life, but he found that he was going forward, and then forward, and then again... There seems to be only one word in the memories - war.
The difference is only that the further back they go, the more people there are, and when they get closer, only the four brothers are left, all half-disabled.
"Big brother. β
I didn't know how long I remembered, and I didn't remember what it was like before the war, and the strong man's eyes suddenly returned to clarity.
Turning over from the ground, he looked at the man on the other side who was like a live crab and had a beard like a copper coin.
"Big brother, what were we doing before we came?"
This question not only stopped the eldest brother, but also asked other people.
"yes, what were we doing before we came?"
"We... Haven't you been here all along?"
"Who are we?"
Such thoughts flashed through them one by one, and finally came down to the same question, "Why are we guarding here?"
"I... I don't remember!"
The stunned eldest brother spat out a mouthful of blood, felt a little more relaxed in his chest, and shook his head in confusion.
"Whatever, he's been fighting for so long anyway, can you still remember the reason why you don't fight?"
"That's..."
The man holding the broken string of the pipa staggered towards the broken gate of heaven.
"Big brother, third brother and fourth brother, you rest for a while, and then I'll kill him seven in and seven out. β
Behind him, silent...
The strong man didn't care, and walked out of the gate of heaven with the pipa in his arms, submerged in the blood rain, and gradually drifted away.
"Big brother..."
Until the back disappeared completely, the man with a broken umbrella with only a few umbrella bones left in his hand shouted softly.
The eldest brother nodded silently, and dug a pit in the ground with the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, which was only a third left.
"While you're still alive, leave a grave for the second child. β
As he spoke, he put his hands through and picked up his already cold body.
The man who had never spoken was holding a golden whip in his hand, he should have two golden whips, not that he remembered it clearly, but he sometimes subconsciously used his empty left hand to block it when fighting.
Of course it can't be stopped.
But every time he felt that he should also have a golden whip in his left hand.
Holding the golden whip and getting up, the man looked at the eldest brother and asked, "Big brother... You can't bury it, can you?"
"Can't bury it?"
Both brothers were stunned.
The man propped up the ground with a golden whip and moved a few steps forwardβhe had only one leg left.
"I remember that my carvings were like this at the beginning, and when they saw that they were dying, one suddenly became two.
The one who left said he was going to have a full meal, but he went and never came back.
I'll bury the one I left behind, halfway there... The one left behind was gone all at once. β
As he spoke, the man was suddenly stunned.
"Hmm..."
frowned, looked at the eldest brother, and then looked at the second brother, "Then again, I also raised eagles?"
......
The unknowable, the unsearchable, the unspeakable.
A long sword fell, and a figure floated down in front of a flash of golden portals.
The white clothes fluttered, and the tips of his feet tapped the hilt of the sword.
"It's not going to work. β
On the opposite side, an old man walked out of the crowd and looked at the young man coldly.
"Do you think you alone can stop us?"
"Huh~"
Without drawing his sword, the young man's right hand slashed into the void, and the person who spoke was divided into two halves.
This... It's his attitude.
Crowds, commotions.
After a while, I don't know who was hiding in the crowd and had the courage to speak, "You dare to take the initiative to kill him!"
The young man smiled lightly, "If you kill and eat meat, do you want to keep it for the New Year if you don't kill it?"
As he spoke, he suddenly frowned.
"I smell the New Year, it's the New Year, right?"
Without waiting for an answer, the young man said, "Run, run fast enough, I'm eyeing you!"
A group of people hated such arrogance, and they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
After being silent for a long time, he was still the one who had just spoken.
"Let's go, go to another door, let's go, don't be left alone!"
The young man sneered, "Are you afraid that you will be left alone?"
The crowd did not answer, but retreated and defended, and when they saw that the young man did not chase and withdrew from the distance, they turned around and left in a swarm.
"Poof~"
After waiting for another moment, the young man's momentum was relieved, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth.
"Damn, I don't know what these guys are smoking. β
Turning around, he looked at the golden portal welded behind him.
Drew his sword and slashed it down with a fierce sword.
"Boom~"
With all his strength, the door did not move.
"It's so strong to weld!"
"I've been pitted!"
Leaning against the door, the young man was indignant, sullen, and laughing.
"I... I just want to go back and have a look!"
"My daughter is about to be born!"
βDuang! Duang!β The sound of kicking the door spread far and wide.
......
Shanhai Academy.
Lying on the roof and looking at the moon, looking at the stars.
Zhou Yi suddenly turned over and sat up.
"Brother?"
Ah Li, who was sleeping in a daze on his lap, rubbed her eyes and looked puzzled.
"I... I just watched the sky at night. β
Zhou Yi looked at his hands, and then at the stars and moon in the sky.
"Huh?"
Ah Li was puzzled.
"I... It seems that I stabbed Lou Zi again!"
