Chapter 205: The Overworld (58)
The wolf smoke was everywhere, the night was shrouded, and the flickering torches were like the eyes of a beast, adding a bit of cruelty to Duyang City in this scarlet night. Mobile
It was cold, and the roads were even frosty, but there were people in rags who fell on the side of the street, huddling together to keep warm, shivering.
Outside Duyang City, many soldiers in red armor had fierce eyes, their faces were covered with scars and blood, staring at the few guards on the city wall.
This was the seventeenth day they had besieged Duyang City, and even though most of the city's guards had been lost, they still couldn't capture the city.
The terrain around the mountains made it impossible for them to break through from the front that connected to the plains, and the guards in Duyang Castle only needed to concentrate their forces to hold on to this place, so they managed to complete several battles with fewer enemies, which made them extremely annoyed.
However, after all, it won't last long.
There is a shortage of food and grass, there is no foreign aid, and there are refugees in exile who have gone into the city to consume the city's resources...... Relying on a Du Wangfu that even suffered heavy casualties due to civil strife, how could it be possible to defend this Duyang City?
Above the closed gates, several bloody corpses hung in a horrible death, constantly shocking the rebels outside the city.
These corpses are all meticulous works they sent into the city.
The wails of the wounded, the groans of the refugees, and the murmuring of the people of Duyang City made the shadow on the city even thicker.
Du Jun, who was still young, was standing on the gate of Duyang City at this time, looking at the corpses all over the field with an expressionless face. By his side is Li Chengyang, who is also in his prime.
"King Du, after today, there may be no more Du Wangfu in this world......"
Li Chengyang's expression was full of exhaustion, and the clothes on his body were also dripping with dark red blood, obviously experiencing more than one hard battle.
Although he was very confident in the next King Du in front of him, according to the current situation, Duyang City's troops would definitely not be able to hold the second attack.
If the city gate is broken, the defenders in the city will have almost no power to resist, and the women and children, the old and weak, will only be slaughtered, and the Du Wangfu will face a catastrophe.
Du Jun looked down at the rebel camp in the distance, looking at the bright firelight, his eyes were deep:
"You think we can't hold on."
Li Chengyang gritted his teeth:
"Even so, Chengyang will definitely live and die with the palace!"
Du Jun suddenly laughed:
"Coexistence? It's not time yet. ”
Then, when he saw Du Jun jumping, he jumped down from the tall city wall and headed towards the city. Looking at his demeanor, he seems to be a master!
Li Chengyang was taken aback, but reacted quickly, and also followed Du Jun.
"King Du, what are you?"
Following behind Du Jun, Li Chengyang didn't know what made Du Jun have such sufficient confidence, and he dared to be calm and calm in this desperate situation.
Du Jun quickly walked through the street, past the many corpses lying on the side of the street, and his face became more and more solemn:
"There is another way to save Duyang City from danger."
After a short time, Du Jun took Li Chengyang to a square, which was the central square inlaid with black stone plates.
Du Jun didn't say much, but walked to the stone plate by himself, sat down on his knees with his eyes closed, and said:
"Chengyang, look around and don't let people approach."
Although Li Chengyang was puzzled, he still guarded according to Du Jun's order.
Du Jun, who was kneeling on the stone plate, took out a dagger from his arms, and without hesitation, he cut the palm of his right hand, releasing a large amount of blood.
Although this bloody gas was thin, Li Chengyang could smell it clearly, so he looked at Du Jun in shock, wanting to stop him from doing this self-harming behavior.
However, Du Jun only shook his head slightly, signaling Li Chengyang not to approach.
I saw that the blood that flowed from Du Jun's palm was finally sprinkled on the stone plate, and then it seeped into the black stone plate as if it was being absorbed!
With the words of Du Jun's blood, countless black fogs poured out from the stone plate, as if something that had been sealed for a long time was slowly waking up and revealing its power.
For this change, Li Chengyang felt shocked, and Du Jun only narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had expected it.
Immediately afterwards, the black fog continued to converge, and finally turned into a black-robed man with a withered appearance, just suspended in mid-air, it was very strange!
The black-robed man took a deep breath on his back, and let out an extremely comfortable sigh:
"Ah...... The long-lost blood of the king......"
Du Jun was still kneeling on the ground, and at this time he also looked up at the black-robed man, and said:
"Du Jun, a descendant of Du Wangfu, ask for the help of the leyline spirits of Duyang City!"
The black-robed man slowly turned to Du Jun, but his face was still shrouded in black mist, and he couldn't see it clearly:
"I know you are a descendant of King Du's mansion, and I can smell your blood...... But why should I save you? ”
Du Jun shook his head decisively:
"It's not to save me, it's to save Duyang City! The rebels outside the city are eyeing each other, if they are allowed to enter the city, Duyang City will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and devastate the lives of the people! ”
The black-robed man laughed gloomily:
"Oh, Duyang City...... But why should I save this Duyang City? ”
Du Jun was stunned, he didn't expect this leyline spirit to say such a thing.
The black-robed man stepped on the void and slowly walked in front of Du Jun:
"When the first generation of King Du sealed me in this stone plate, he didn't ask me to do anything to save the world...... Even if the people of Duyang City die cleanly, what does it have to do with me? ”
Then, the black-robed man came closer, and the black mist on his body made Du Jun tremble, as if he had seen the Netherworld.
He leaned over and stared at Du Jun, and his sight in the black fog was like a ghost:
"I won't save people, and I won't save Duyang City...... What I'll do is just give you a chance to exchange at an equivalent. ”
Looking at Du Jun's confused gaze, the laughter of the black-robed man gradually went crazy:
"Want to save this city? No problem! But the yin debt of the rebels outside the city, the yang debt of the people and refugees inside the city, and the curse of the dead soul...... You have to be able to afford these things! ”
The surging black mist spread, completely enveloping Du Jun, and at the same time allowing him to see many terrifying scenes.
"These things are enough to make you suffer for several lifetimes, and you can't escape even reincarnation after death......"
Du Jun was shocked by those purgatory-like scenes in the world, and even if he was full of experience, he couldn't help but tremble.
The laughter of the black-robed man gradually subsided:
"You can't bear these things...... However, someone can afford it. ”
Du Jun was still immersed in the previous horror, and when he came back to his senses at this time, he didn't understand what the black-robed man in front of him meant:
"Who?"
The black-robed man stretched out his thin fingers and pointed in the direction of King Du's mansion:
"The fetus in the womb of your beloved wife, your unborn daughter."
…………
In front of everyone, Du Jun said word by word:
"Tang'er's body suppressed the yin debts of all the rebels back then, as well as the suffering that the people in Duyang City should endure, and even the resentment of the souls who died in those days......"
The black-robed man suspended above the stone plate also "giggled":
"This fetus was born extraordinary, so it can suppress these things...... But when she turned seventeen, it was the day when these curses and debts erupted! ”
With a sharp and piercing laugh, the black-robed man's body expanded several times, making him look like an evil demon:
"Just let this woman be dragged into the underworld to endure the endless torture and suffering, and this Duyang City will be safe and sound...... On the contrary, if she left this Duyang City, all the people in the city back then would taste the curse that should belong to them! ”
"Your King Du has raised a wonderful substitute for the dead!"
A thick dark cloud hung over Duyang City, and everyone who heard these contents was in shock, and some of them couldn't react.
Du Qitang, who was standing on the stone plate, looked at his father woodenly, and his voice trembled a little:
"These ...... It's all true? ”
Du Jun didn't look at Du Weitang's gaze, but lowered his head:
"This ...... It's for Duyang City......"
Desperate detachment
