Blood flowing from the wounds of the dead replaces the nutrient-rich amniotic fluid in the womb, and the baby born in death is reborn from the clotted blood scab. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he was born, opened his mouth for the first time, breathed for the first time, he did not taste the taste of the air but the sweetness of the blood on the tip of his tongue.

His mother's, his father's, his enemies', those blood mixed together with a trace of body temperature, not only brought him warmth and saved him from freezing to death in the cold night of the desert, but also replaced his mother's *** as the first meal in the baby's life, giving him the courage to cry out loud!

When he felt the rising sun in the east shining on his face, he finally closed his eyes and opened his mouth, stretched out a pair of weak hands to the sky, and cried, "Woo-a-a-"

The baby's cry was heard in the desert by the wind, and the loud tone and reddened cheeks told everyone that he was born healthy and strong, and that his mouth was open and the cries that came out of his mouth were powerful expressions of hunger.

At this moment, an inky crow hovered down in the sky, standing on top of the horse's corpse, condescendingly, looking with its round red eyes at the newborn human baby who had been baptized with blood.

At last his cry was noticed, and his waving hands grabbed the rough hands of his kind as he wished.

Shi Jingjiao's eyes moistened, and he carefully picked up his brother's child from the ground, as if he were the softest and most precious thing in the world.

The helmet on his head was taken off and thrown into Shi Da's arms, which was already stiff, and then he held the croaking baby in one hand and dismembered Shi Da's body with the other hand with a scimitar.

This is the way of seeing off the warriors of their Khitans, and the cold blood of his relatives splashed on Shi Jingjiao's face from time to time, but he didn't care at all and even looked leisurely, singing a long song like a lullaby in his mouth, maybe he was really coaxing his younger brother to sleep.

"Whew-" The sharp blade finally cut through Shi Da's tense thigh, Shi Jingjiao sighed, raised his head to the sky and shouted loudly, "Hey-hey-God, take him away, hey-"

……

The sky was silent, and only the crows, attracted by the smell of blood and corruption, echoed and screamed, and besides that there was the baby crying out loud from the agony of hunger......

"From now on, your name is Shi Lixun-" Shi Jingjiao faced east, held the baby in the palm of his hand and held it high, chanting the name he had taken for the baby, while behind him, his soldiers were cutting off the heads of Zhou Dewei and the Thirteen Horsemen one by one and inserting them into the cut wooden thorns.

……

A dream, I don't know if it's true or not, Shi Lixun opened his eyes while lying on the bed made of simple fur, he was obviously very tired and rested enough, and his consciousness did not recover for a while, and he looked sideways at the brazier burning in the tent.

"General Shi, it's time for us to pull out the camp—" Li Yin walked in from outside the tent with a cup of hot drink in his hand, and the wind outside the tent was very strong, carrying a lot of snow particles pouring in, making the originally warm tent suddenly cold a lot.

"Hmm...... I know. Shi Lixun uncovered the big bear skin covering his upper body, stood up directly, and he didn't even take off his armor after a night of sleep, which made his sleep quality extremely poor, and it didn't take long for him to feel a faint pain in his head, which was very unpleasant.

"Tell me, where have they been?" Taking the hot drink handed by Li Yin, Shi Lixun cheered up, stood in front of the sand table in the camp tent, looked at the various terrains simulated on the sand table and asked about the situation.

Li Yin bowed slightly, pointed to several mountain cities and replied, "Yesterday we received an urgent letter from several counties in the northwest, judging from the route, I judged that those immortal monsters have descended Qilian Mountain and are heading to Tianshui City. ”

"Tianshui?" Shi Lixun was silent for a long time and said, "Are they going to Chang'an?" ”

Bang - Shi Lixun slapped the sand table angrily with his hand and said, "Yesterday was in Pingliang, and today it is Tianshui again?!" Our troops are still catching up with Xidingruhe? What the hell are those things?! ”

Li Yin lowered his hand beside him, bowed his head and let Shi Lixun get angry. It's really helpless, they have been leading a force of 500 people to chase the "monster" for more than half a month, but they haven't even seen what the monster looks like.

At first they thought that some county was deliberately made up to avoid paying taxes, but as the pursuit deepened, they saw that more and more post stations, villages, and even cities were breached, and no matter the size of the breached places, everything was plundered, whether it was gold and silver, food, food, and food, and all men, women, old and young, were slaughtered.

Although judging from the tragic remains at the scene, the garrison troops were already fighting to the death, but in the end they did not even leave half of the enemy's corpse, which added to the uncertainty.

And just yesterday when Shi Lixun led the troops to wander around on the Loess Plateau, they received an emergency document from Xiding County, although they had gone all out to rescue, but when they finally arrived at midnight today, Shi Lixun saw the Xiding City burning under the night.

And like all the previous cities, Xiding City was also slaughtered inside and out, and not even a single intact wall was left.

"They must be people!" Shi Lixun drank all his drinks and came to such a conclusion.

"And it's a terrible enemy, and the wounds on the corpses of the defenders don't look like knife wounds, but like they've been torn open alive by some mighty beast." Li Yin reminded in real time, "My subordinates feel that this is no longer something we can stop, and we should report it to the imperial court immediately." ”

Shi Lixun was shocked by Li Yin's remarks, but in the end he didn't speak, but looked at the sand table under him and fell into deep thought.

In fact, Li Yin said well, although Shi Lixun at this time was a chariot general, but it was still sealed in the face of his uncle Shi Jingjiao, and the task of their team of 500 people was just to represent the imperial court and go to the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion to attend the ceremony of the new inspector taking office, to put it bluntly, it was an out-and-out honor guard.

As for why he bothered about the villages and towns attacked by the monsters, it was also because Shi Lixun was righteous for a while, completely ignoring too many consequences.

Now, as the investigation deepened, Li Yin keenly realized that things were beyond the control of their honor guard, so he took the initiative to find Shi Lixun for the first time today and expressed his opinion to him.

Facing the doubts of his subordinates here, Shi Lixun held down the sword in his hand tightly and fell into deep contemplation.
