Chapter 37: Dialogue Under the Star Sword
In order to find out about the mad magician, Tijucheer, the first warrior of Xiong and the son of Shan Yu, led 50 warriors through the Silverwind Taiga Forest into the snowy region of the Federation's investigation of the incident, and ten days later, when they returned to the Slavia Plains with the information they had investigated, they were unexpectedly ambushed in the Silverwind Taiga
The stumbling ropes and traps on the ground brought all the horses to the ground, and then sharp arrows swooped down like locusts from the tall fir trees around them, and half of the warriors fell in an instant, and the sneak attackers seemed to know the route of Tijuche's movements, this ambush was by no means an encounter, and it seemed that the enemy had been premeditated for a long time, and the enemy no longer hid, and twelve figures flew out of hiding
The two leaders were Zhi Zhigudu, who competed with Tijucheer for the first warrior, and his younger brother Hu Zhengluan, seven years ago, Zhizhi Gudu seized one of his arms, and he took away one of his eyes and the number of the first warrior after leaving a scar on Zhizhi's face, Zhizhi's bone has always held a grudge, and Tijucheer naturally understands this very well, but he never expected that as the head of a dignified clan, he would actually use the shameless means of assassination
Although he was very angry, he couldn't change the result, in the one-on-one battle with Zhizhi Gudu, Tiju Che'er was not sure of winning, not to mention that he had to add a Hu Zheng Luan, under the joint attack of the Zhizhi Gudu brothers, Tiju Che'er didn't even have a chance to escape, and none of his subordinates could escape, and before he died, Ju Che'er understood the purpose of Zhizhi Gudu: as long as Tiju Che'er died, there was no one in the Xiong Clan who could compete with Zhi Zhi's bones, then the next first warrior would be in his Zhizhi Gudu's bag, Wo Mu Shan was already old, and there was no man under his knees, and then he married Tan Tan as his wife according to the tradition, as long as Shan Yu died, Ren Shan Yu's position naturally fell into the hands of his Zhi Zhi Gudu
Zhi Zhi is fierce and cruel, so happy, if he succeeds, he must be a tyrant, for his sister, for the sake of his people, he must not let his plot succeed - even if he is dead, but this strong obsession has left Tijucheer's soul in the present world, hovering in the place where he was murdered
His ghost told me that I asked him to help him stop the conspiracy of Zhizhi Gudu, and if he could not fulfill this wish, Tiju Che would not be able to rest in peace, and he would remain in the world forever in agony, Owen said
Ah, fourth brother, you're so miserable...... Hearing what happened to Tiju Che'er, Tan Tan cried bitterly on the spot
In order to fulfill the promise I made to Tijuche that day, I will advocate and interfere in the martial arts tournament of your heroes, please forgive Shan Yu, and Owen said to Shan Yu very politely
In this way, you have already made a detailed plan, and Shan Yudao, including letting your companions be deliberately captured by Zhizhi, is also part of your plan
Originally, I only wanted to expose the conspiracy of Zhizhi Gudu in the martial arts competition, but then Zhizhi Gudu took the initiative to provoke and catch my friend, so I will plan and push the boat down the river, let them come to the inside and outside, and Ouwen Dao
No, you lie, Shan Yu suddenly shouted
Shan Yu's angry shouting made everyone turn their suspicious eyes on Owen, including Tan Tan, who was in tears
In the face of accusations, Owen did not panic, he silently waited for doubts
If my son really turned into a ghost, why didn't he ask his relatives for it, but to fake it to you, an outsider, I have been to the place where Tijuche was killed several times, and nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened, I am his father, and I am just telling him the truth directly, isn't it easier for me to let you stir up the situation?
Because the place where you found Tijucheer's body is not the place where he was really killed, the Zhizhi bones have moved Tijucheer and his men's corpses a hundred kilometers away in order to hide people's eyes, and if you don't find any signs of fighting near the scene where the body was found, then the death of Tijucheer and his subordinates will naturally be blamed on the disaster of the Snowy Federation
Tijuche'er's body had been moved, and it was impossible for him to shake his head alone, and the heads and elders of the other clans also showed expressions of great disbelief
If you do not believe, please follow me to the place where Juchael is truly buried, and let his soul tell you for himself
In this way, in order to verify the authenticity of Owen's words, Shan Yu led all the eight clans participating in the tournament to the periphery of the Silver Wind Taiga Forest, and Sophia, who was originally used as a sacrifice, because they helped Shan Yu to quell the rebellion, and after the war, Sophia used her magic to save many people's lives and won the respect of the barbarians, Shan Yu retracted the decision to sacrifice the seven of them as sacrifices to the Eagle Father and Wolf Mother, not only that, but they were also treated as guests
The army also escorted Zhi Zhigudu, the three young killers, and the mentally broken Hu Zhengluan, if Owen's words are confirmed, these guys will replace Sophia and the other seven people as sacrifices to the Eagle Father and Wolf Mother
The sentence "Zhi Zhi Zhi Gu is invincible" is no exaggeration, even if he does not use the invincible iron wall, the Zhi Zhi bone is still invincible, not to mention that there are still 3 snake head tattoos that have not yet been consumed, once the invincible iron wall is fully deployed, no one will be his opponent, even if he is captured now, he can't take the ordinary method of guarding the prisoner; except for Cassius's frozen magic, there is no way to control this dangerous guy
After arriving at their destination, the army rested for the night at the Da Meng garrison
Due to the need to guard the source of the river, unlike the other seven clans that migrate their stations with seasonal changes, the station of the Da Meng people is relatively stable, plus the old and weak, women and children, the Da Meng people have a total population of 20,000, mainly living in the Xingjian Canyon in the southeast of the Yinfeng Taiga, this canyon is also part of the boundary mountain range, the valley top is slender and narrow, and the valley floor is wide, accommodating 20,000 Da Meng people and tens of thousands of livestock, more than enough to accommodate 20,000 Da Meng people and tens of thousands of livestock
During the day, the Dameng people drove their cattle to the plains to graze, and at night they drove back to the mountains on both sides of the canyon, blocking most of the cold winds, so even in winter, the Star Sword Canyon was warmer than the rest of the northern part of the Celestial Plains
The Da Mon were very hospitable to the other clansmen and foreign guests, and they were very generous in bringing out the venison, mutton, horse meat, mare's milk, spirits, and other stores for the winter, but no one had a smile on their faces, and the shadow of the rebellion that had just ended had not yet disappeared from their minds, and as for the nine companions who had come from outside, everyone except Cassius, who lost his mind at the sight of food, was affected by this oppressive feeling
It is not a good thing to come out to see the stars at night in winter, but in the four seasons of the year, the starry sky in winter is the most magnificent, because the stars of the quiet winter night are inlaid in the far-reaching and boundless sky, many famous bright stars only appear in the winter starry sky, although under the barrier of the mountains on both sides, you can see only a small part of the whole starry sky, but there are also defects in the beauty of the defects, at the bottom of the canyon, it looks like the stars seem to form a giant sword, hanging high in the sky, it seems that the Star Sword Canyon is named because of this
Owen lay on a cold rock, fearless of the howling cold wind, looking up at the sword-shaped stars, when a shadow crept behind him
It's windy at night, you're going to catch a cold, so go back and rest, even if you don't look back, Owen knows who's coming
You still care about me, and Sophia came to Owen's side, and her eyes fell on the half handkerchief on his wrist
When he came into contact with those bright starry eyes, Owen looked elsewhere
Why did you run away from Sophia, and when you said goodbye to Hansha City that day, I thought I had done something wrong and made you unhappy, but later I found out that it was not like this at all, and what the hell are you running away from
Sophia, I'm for you, Owen not only avoided Sophia's eyes, but also didn't dare to answer her question head-on, not with you, but with me
Why the hell is wrong with you Sophia ran up to Owen and crouched down and looked him in the eye no matter who was right or wrong, why did you have to carry it so painfully alone...... I don't even have the qualifications to share the pain in your mind
I...... Owen stood up, he didn't dare to touch Sophia's eyes, and Sophia pressed him step by step, he could only raise his head and close his eyes, if one day I suddenly become a person you don't know, and go crazy to ruin your beloved one...... Owen hinted at the matter of demonic blood in extremely subtle words, and the tears that flowed into the body were bitter, and the tears that flowed into the body were even more bitter
Suddenly, Owen felt that he was being hugged tightly, although he was surrounded by cold wind, he clearly felt the faint body temperature and faint body fragrance through several layers of cotton clothes and leather jackets, Owen never felt that his heart was beating so fast, it was joy, nervousness, helplessness, regret...... Or something else
He couldn't tell what this feeling was, since he had learned the unity of heaven and man, he had tried to downplay all his emotions; I am afraid that as long as one of them is missing, he cannot be called a complete person, at this time, Owen's heart is like a river and a sea, he has twice vetoed his life ideals, and swore in front of his master and craftsman to take his own life path, but only now he found that the so-called life road in his heart is so pale, maybe what he really pursues is what he is trying to abandon
No, Owen reminded himself in his heart that he wanted to push Sophia away who was hugging him, but his hands were in battle to disobey, whether he couldn't muster up the courage or was so eager in his heart, under the battle between heaven and man in his heart, Owen couldn't control it, so he could only use his mouth instead
Don't do that, Owen intends to divert the conversation, and when tomorrow is over, we can leave the Plains of Slangia, and all I can do now is help you as much as I can
But Sophia didn't take her head off his chest, still listening to the faint heartbeat, and complained: "If we leave this plain, you will also leave us, and continue to act as the invisible protector."
This...... Sophia said exactly what Owen was thinking, but he didn't dare to admit it immediately, and he suddenly became muddy and detergent
Rustle - Suddenly there was a faint sound in the darkness
The man and woman who were in the hug immediately parted, and Owen shouted in the direction from which the voice came
With his ability to unite heaven and man, he should be able to immediately detect someone sneaking in, but when he was with Sophia, his feelings suddenly became dull, which was really careless
Whether it's friend or foe, you have to figure out who it is, and Owen hurriedly pursues him, but he stops when he is about to catch up with the man
He recognized this back figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar: Tan Tan.
