Chapter 113: Little Fish Island
Wen Bo retreated, sat on the handsome seat, sighed, and said, "Back then, I was ordered to carry out a secret mission. As he spoke, he looked at Han Qing, and a wave of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Duan Feng could hear that the secret mission was to slaughter the Han family.
Wen Bo cleared his throat and continued: "At that time, I brought a total of 3,000 people, these people are cronies who have followed me since childhood, and they are considered my descendants. Later, after completing the mission for us, on the way back, I received another order from the Evil Emperor. ”
"What order?"
"At that time, in order to avoid the secret being revealed, the Evil Emperor ordered me to kill those who knew about it. ”
Duan Feng suddenly realized that only four people could keep secrets forever, but those people were all Wen Bo's cronies, "Did you obey that order?"
Wen Bo's eyes were slightly closed, and there was a hint of reluctance in his expression, "There is no way, I am a soldier, and it is my duty to obey orders." ”
"And then?"
"But after all, they have been with me for many years, and how could I bear to kill them, so I made a decision that I don't know if it was right or wrong. ”
"What decision?"
"I took them to an old friend of mine, and according to his method, I turned these relatives who had followed me for many years into what they are today. ”
"How?"
"I don't know the specific method, but the dead soldiers after his transformation have no soul and no soul, no life or death, and no weapons in the world can harm them, but there is only one shortcoming, that is, they have completely broken people's seven emotions and six desires from then on. ”
Duan Feng thought for a long time, thousands of living beings in the world have emotions, a person has no seven emotions and six desires, what is the difference between him and a stone, looking at the birth, old age, sickness and death of the people around him, there is no wave in his heart, even if the death of the dearest person is not able to set off any of their emotions.
He didn't know if these dead men really had no emotions in their hearts, or if their emotions were buried deep in their hearts, if this was the case, for a person, it would be worse than death.
"Are they willingly becoming dead?"
"Hmph, hum!" Wenbo smiled self-deprecatingly, "What makes me even more painful is that they accepted this result without hesitation, although I know their loyalty, but in the end, these loyal brothers did not die on the battlefield, but at the hands of their own eldest brother." ”
"Hey, the world is unpredictable, and you can't be blamed entirely for this, you are just doing what you are told. ”
"It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died so badly. Han Qing blamed himself.
"Speaking of which, I don't understand, didn't you just say that they are immortal and immortal, why are they so vulnerable at the bottom. ”
"I'm afraid only my old friend knows about this, and although he told me at the time that these dead soldiers are immortal, he must have a way to kill them. ”
"You mean that Du Sanliang knows this method. ”
"It's hard to say, if that's the case, then it's dangerous, the dead are the last line of defense I have set up for Xixia Town, if even they can't resist the rebels, then there is no need to continue to defend this pass. ”
"The rebels will definitely use Du Sanliang to attack our dead soldiers. ”
"Obviously, now the rebels and the demons have formed an alliance. ”
"So I hope you can find out the truth of this matter, now that the rebels have no food and grass, the time for the attack has to be delayed again, they will definitely find a way to raise food and grass again, and they will definitely not give us another chance to sneak attack, so we still have time. ”
"We don't know what the name of that old friend of yours is, where he is now, and how we can make him believe us. ”
Wen Bo took out a jade pendant from his arms and taught it to Duan Feng, "His name is Zhao Muzhi, and he is now living in seclusion in the Red Moon Mountain of Qiandao County, if you give this to him, he will understand that I asked you to go, remember, even if you can't find him, you must rush back as soon as possible." ”
"Understand, don't worry, I'll find him. Duan Feng said affirmatively.
The two hurriedly had dinner and set off towards Qiandao County.
Qiandao County is located at the junction of the South China Sea and the East China Sea, 600 miles away from the mainland, composed of a main island and thousands of small islands around, the main island is more than 1,500 miles long from east to west, 800 miles long from north to south, the richest man Xia Cheng is located in the middle of the main island, Hongyue Mountain is located on a small island in the northeast of the main island, called Xiaoyu Island, and the big fish island in the west across the sea, the area of Xiaoyu Island is about 200 miles, the island is rich in timber, the inhabitants are less than 20,000, and they make a living by exporting timber.
It was a distance of 6,000 miles from Xixia Town to Qiandao County, and Duan Feng and the others arrived in less than two hours, but it was getting late, and the two had to find an inn to rest in an unknown small town on the northern coast of the main island.
It is said that when the war just broke out, Si Yunhai, the lord of Xiacheng, declared that the whole county remained neutral, and Qiandao County was far away from the mainland, and the rebels and government forces did not have the energy to attack it, so the entire Qiandao County is still a scene of singing and dancing.
The two of them had a good sleep for the first time in this time, they were woken up by the sound of roosters the next day, although they enjoyed the peaceful scenery here, but the two of them had a heavy responsibility, so they could only have breakfast in a hurry, and flew towards Hongyue Mountain.
After about an hour of walking on the rugged mountain road of the Red Moon Mountain, they finally came to a basin, and there were several villages and towns in the basin, which were now smoking, and they did not know whether they were having lunch or breakfast.
After some inquiry, the two came to a small village, there are only about 100 households in the village, and there is a bamboo forest at the east end of the village.
"You came to find Mr. Zhao?" Suddenly, a child appeared behind Duan Feng, the child was only seven or eight years old, holding a bamboo dragonfly in his hand, looking at the two innocently.
"Yes, kid, do you know where Mr. Zhao is?" Duan Feng asked in a gentle tone.
Mr. Zhao said that if anyone wanted to look for him, go to the bamboo forest in the east. As he spoke, the child stretched out his immature little finger and pointed to the east.
Duan Feng looked up, it was a small hill less than a hundred meters, covered with dark green bamboo, so he smiled and said, "Then thank you, little friend." ”
"You're welcome. Saying that, the child jumped into a wooden door.
The two followed the path pointed by the child to the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is very dense, most of the bamboo in it is the thickness of an arm, and the feet are covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, it seems that this bamboo forest has been some years.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, a sparse clearing suddenly appeared in the dense bamboo forest, and a small courtyard appeared in front of the two of them, standing on a high place, the scene in the courtyard was unobstructed.
The yard was large, but there were only three thatched huts, most of the place was covered with plants, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child in the yard was watering the ground, and there was no one else outside the yard.
"This kid can't be Zhao Muzhi, right?" Han Qing said in disbelief.
"Probably not, it should be his apprentice. ”
Saying that, the two jumped down the hill and walked to the door, although the chai door was only up to their shoulders, and they could already fully see the scene inside, but Duan Feng still knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, the child looked back strangely, and saw that it was two people, the child immediately became vigilant, he put down the barrel in his hand, and looked at the two people across the door, looking at the two curiously.
"Who are you?" the child's voice was no longer immature, and he began to want to change as an adult.
"We're here to find Mr. Zhao. Duan Feng responded politely.
"Doctor?" the child asked, and then added, "Master is not here today, but he has gone to the mountains to collect medicine, so you can come back tomorrow." ”
It seems that this Zhao Muzhi is also a doctor, Duan Feng thought to himself, and then replied: "No, we have something to ask for." ”
"Master is not at home, and if there is something to do, I have to talk about it tomorrow. The boy said impatiently, and then turned to water him, without the slightest intention of letting the two into the yard.
Duan Feng looked at the low chaimen and courtyard wall, "Who can such a low courtyard wall block?", with the arrogant posture of a child, he should have rushed in directly, but now he has a request for others, so he has to be patient.
"Little brother, we are in a hurry to find Mr. Zhao, may I ask where Mr. Zhao is now, we can go to him. ”
The child stopped what he was doing and looked up at Duan Feng, his eyes full of disdain, "It's up to you?"
"What's the matter? Is there anything you can't say or your master won't let you say it?"
"Cut! There's nothing you can't say, I'm afraid you don't have that ability. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
The child sneered and said, "Well, since you are not afraid of death, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Master is now at the Rainbow Bridge in the west, if you have the guts, go and find it, but don't blame me for not reminding you, don't regret what happened. ”
Looking at the child's disdainful expression, Duan Feng felt a little unhappy in his heart, but then calmed down again, and he suddenly found that this child was very similar to him when he was young, and his bones were full of arrogance.
"Then thank you, little brother. Duan Feng clenched his hands into fists, and the two turned around and went straight to the Rainbow Bridge to the west.
The Rainbow Bridge is a colorful stone bridge with a stone bridge on top of a hundred-meter-wide cliff with a huge cave on the opposite side of the cliff.
When the two arrived at the Rainbow Bridge, there was an old man with a white beard sitting in the center of the bridge, and the hair on the top of the old man's head had fallen off, revealing his sleek scalp.
The old man's eyes were closed, and he held a slender fishing rod in his hand, and a golden fishing line as thin as a hair hung under the bridge, disappearing into the thick smoke.
"Could this be Zhao Muzhi? Didn't you say that you came to collect medicine? Why did you catch a fish?"
Duan Feng stretched out his head and looked down the cliff, and a few hundred meters below was a thick smoke, and there was no sound of water flowing at all.
The two of them stepped curiously towards the stone bridge, and the old man didn't seem to notice their arrival, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Duan Feng approached the stone bridge, and suddenly a cool breeze blew up from the bottom of the cliff, in order to show respect, the two of them tidied up their clothes, let out a sigh, and stretched out their feet to step towards the stone bridge.
Suddenly, Duan Feng felt empty under his feet, and immediately knew in his heart that something was wrong, the rainbow bridge and the old man disappeared in an instant, and the two of them stepped on the air and fell off the cliff.
