Chapter 212: The Immortal Army
Jian Yue suddenly squinted, with vigilance in her eyes, but Xingke said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything, just ask you to help me find someone." ”
Jian Yue shook her head and said, "But why did you tell me that your clan land was destroyed?" What does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with you bringing me here now? ”
Xing Ke suddenly lowered his eyes, didn't answer Jianyue's words at all, and walked straight towards the door.
Jianyue had no choice but to continue to follow, but after taking two steps, Xing Ke suddenly leaned close to her ear and said softly: "The person who destroyed my clan land is the person behind the scenes of this ironclad soldier. ”
Jianyue was stunned, Xingke had already entered the gate, she had to follow, and then she was shocked by the magnificence in her eyes.
It was still a corridor, but it was wider than before, the walls were inlaid with night pearls, and the faint and soft light of the city was less quiet and desolate.
Subsequently, Xingke took her around and walked for a long time, during which Xingke did not say a word to her, and even Fang Cai's face was tense, and his fair little face was indifferent and alienated.
Looking at such Xingke, Jianyue suddenly felt a little distressed, no matter what her clan was exterminated for, let's just say that Xingke's appearance at this time, it looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, what has he experienced to have such a cold face that looks down on the world?
"Here we are."
Xingke's hoarse voice sounded, and Jianyue came back to her senses, and saw a group of people appear in front of her, wearing the same armor and the same mask, standing in front of her in rows, looking in the direction she came from, and the black wind was right in the middle of it.
Jian Yue frowned, and Hei Feng stepped forward and said, "Here, it's the nightmare of the royal family." ”
This kind of cold joke, Jian Yue was noncommittal, just glanced at it and said: "But so, why is it so meticulous?" ”
Hearing this, Hei Feng sighed, and looked at the group of people with sadness in his eyes.
Jian Yue calculated carefully, there were only a hundred people here, and there were not the few people she had seen before, so she didn't know what was going on.
Seeing Jianyue's inquiring gaze, Hei Feng knew what she was thinking, and answered her directly: "Don't look for them, they are not real ironclad soldiers, for ironclad soldiers, they are at best the elite soldiers who have been specially trained, and they are far from the ironclad soldiers." ”
Jian Yue smiled, and said calmly: "What's the difference?" ”
Hei Feng didn't speak, turned around and nodded at the ironclad soldiers, and saw that the ironclad soldiers moved neatly, suddenly pulled out the saber in their hands, and slashed down at their arms.
Jian Yue was suddenly shocked and shouted, "Are you crazy? ”
But before the words fell, his eyes were focused on the picture in front of him, and he was filled with horror.
The arms of all the ironclad soldiers broke off and fell to the ground, but after these broken branches fell to the ground, as if they were alive, they suddenly softened into a lump, and climbed up their bodies again from the soldiers' feet, and returned to their arms, growing little by little.
By the time the arms were attached, there was not a trace of scar on their bodies, except for the broken branches and ruined sleeves.
"This"
Black Wind walked up to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "This is the Iron Armor, an undead army"
Jianyue was a little relieved, and when she came to her senses, she realized what kind of picture she was seeing, and suddenly, she suddenly remembered that Hei Feng had said that he had lived for a long time.
She turned around sharply, her eyes looking at Black Wind in horror, and Black Wind looked at her with a wry smile in her eyes: "I'm similar to them." ”
Jianyue didn't know how to express her mood at this time, she took two steps back, subconsciously broke free of Hei Feng's hand, paused, took two steps forward, raised and lowered her hands, and didn't know what to do to respond.
Hei Feng's heart was slightly sour, and he quietly put his hand behind his back and clenched it, and said with a blank face: "You think I'm a monster, I'm a monster, after all, no one can really live so long." ”
Jianyue shook her head, compared her eyes, and forcibly opened them again, and it took a long time before she found her thoughts and forced herself to say what she thought.
"I just can't react, but why? What happened to their bodies? Also, are they still them? ”
Hei Feng said: "It's because their thoughts are still their own, so it's even more painful to live." ”
As Black Wind spoke, Jianyue raised her eyes to look at the group of people, who were all wearing masks, and each of them only showed the above eyes, but the cynicism expressed by these eyes let Jianyue know what kind of torture they were suffering from in their hearts.
Hei Feng continued: "Watching a loved one die, watching the change of time, watching the sunrise and sunset, and you, always like this, it's hard to like standing under the sun, after all, it's out of place, if you have it, you will lose it." ”
As he spoke, he nodded at those people, and those people took off their masks, this time, Jian Yue was much less shocked, after all, she was mentally prepared, but she was still shocked.
Black Wind continued: "In particular, they don't have the opportunity to stand in the sun again, can they still be called human beings? ”
Jianyue rubbed her eyebrows, and then continued to look at the ironclad soldiers, this time, Jianyue walked over and looked at them one by one.
The faces of the ironclad soldiers are incomplete, each person's face is more or less missing, and the missing parts are black, as if they have been blocked with some dye, and they are still squirming.
Jian Yue looked at it for a while, and then said, "Gu worm? ”
Hei Feng nodded: "That's right, it's the Gu worm, our body, because of the Gu worm, has stopped aging and time, and it has continued to this day, no need to eat, no need to sleep, no death, no life."
I'm lucky, at least my face is perfect, and I can still blend in with the crowd without being noticed,"
As he spoke, he suddenly shook his head again and smiled: "Not to mention Dead Wood Zhang, he is the same as me, with a perfect appearance, but his heart is the same as them, he is already crawling with Gu worms and scarred." ”
Jianyue was silent, she didn't know how she was going to face such a black wind, the black wind was still that black wind, talking ruffian, and she didn't care, but at this moment, she finally understood how pathetic this person was in his heart.
After a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "I finally understand why the ironclad soldiers are called divine soldiers, not because of how powerful they are, but because of their immortality and Gu worms. ”
Hei Feng smiled and said: "That's right, when the ironclad soldiers were established, they discussed the direction because of countless casualties, I was still a soldier at that time, and I didn't know what the big guys were planning, I only knew that we had changed overnight, at that time, there were more than 10,000 people!" It just became this disgusting monster alive. ”
Jian Yue suddenly felt disgusted, and asked puzzledly: "But why is this?" Won't such an act provoke public outrage? ”
When Hei Feng heard this, he immediately sneered: "Anger? If you can reason with the emperor, then he is not the emperor. Back then, the emperor insisted on going his own way, invited the Gu master of Miaodi, and recast the ironclad soldiers with Gu worms, and in the end, the ironclad soldiers were completely turned into a living Gu army.
But what about after that? Gu worms are raging, the soldiers are becoming more and more irritable because of the tearing of the Gu worms, bloodthirsty, completely uncontrolled, in desperation, the emperor invited the Gu master to plan to strangle all the Gu worms, kill the Gu worms, that is, kill these soldiers directly, do you think, the emperor can be willing? ”
Black Wind's smile was mocking, and in the end, his words became slow, and in the end, as if he couldn't go on, the killing intent on his face became heavier and heavier, Xingke stepped forward and said, "Black Wind, Gu worms will control your brain." ”
Hearing this, Hei Feng took a deep breath and said, "I understand. ”
He adjusted his thoughts for a moment, and then looked at Jian Yue and continued: "You also saw it, just because I was emotional, I was almost occupied by Gu worms, and after I went berserk, I became bloodthirsty.
Therefore, the ironclad soldiers who had problems at the beginning were all captured by the Gu Master to do research, trying to get out another Gu worm that stifled our irritability, so that we could control our emotions.
Later, the Gu master succeeded, but there were not many ironclad soldiers left, the ancestors of the Shangguan family saw this, and they swore to refuse the ironclad soldiers to go to the battlefield again, and then the emperor and then many generals reconsidered, after all, many of the 10,000 ironclad soldiers are the children of soldiers, but now they are dying because of Gu worms, who can bear it?
Finally, under pressure, the emperor succumbed, but he didn't want to give up completely, so he made an agreement with General Shangguan to use blood-colored coral as a token.
General Shangguan agreed on the surface, but behind his back, he united many soldiers to steal the blood-colored coral, carved two seals from it, forged it into jade, and gave it to the hands of two henchmen.
At that time, it was said that if the emperor activated the ironclad soldiers, as long as there was no jade seal, they would not count, and they would have to monitor the country, as long as it was not a matter of destroying the country, the ironclad soldiers would not be activated.
As General Shangguan expected, within ten years of the seal of the ironclad soldiers, General Shangguan was framed and died on the battlefield, and the emperor used this reason to start the ironclad soldiers, but the blood-colored coral appeared, and the ironclad soldiers did not recognize it, and the emperor was immediately furious, and then found out that the blood-colored coral was missing two pieces, and if the two pieces could not be recovered, the blood-colored coral would be a waste.
After that, you should all know, just like the rumors, the ironclad soldiers have become legends, and the blood-colored coral has become a mystery. ”
After hearing this, Jian Yue frowned and asked, "But what does this have to do with me?" Why is there a phoenix girl and a phoenix girl dispute? ”
