Chapter 266: The General The 18th before the change
We stared at the pile of junk, hoping to find something of value inside. However, the results were disappointing.
I sighed and said to Wushuang, "Let's go." Although nothing was found. But at least it proves that the mute has fled. β
Wushuang said thoughtfully: "I think that if the dumb man is here, I can feel at ease." Now that he's gone, it's not necessarily an escape, maybe he's going to make some moves. Today he is the scourge of Li Xiaoxing, and tomorrow I don't know who it is. β
I nodded, "Anyway, let's go back first." At least Li Xiaoxing was cured. β
Wushuang and I returned to Li Xiaoxing's house together. As soon as I walked to the door of the building, I saw Li's mother looking out anxiously. She saw the two of us and hurriedly greeted us.
This situation made me immediately realize that something might be wrong.
I asked Li's mother, "How is it?" Are the thin men and sloppy Taoists coming? β
Mother Li nodded: "Three Taoist priests came." β
I breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that safety is here." It's good to arrive. Then I asked Li's mother, "Everyone is here, what are you nervous about?" β
Li Ma said: "After the three of them arrived, they studied the human head with the abbot ......."
As we walked into the room, we asked, "Study the head?" What has been researched? β
Mother Li shook her head and pointed to the living room: "I haven't researched anything, so I'll pour a few glasses of water." A few of them fell asleep. As before, no matter how you call it, you can't wake up. β
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became anxious: "Why are you all asleep?" What about the abbot? Hurry up and let him recite the scriptures. β
Wushuang sighed: "It's useless, the abbot is also asleep." "I turned my head and looked, didn't I? The abbot collapsed on the sofa and slept soundly.
I paced around the room anxiously: "What now?" Originally, I brought them in with two ideas. Now nothing was said, the man fell asleep first. β
Wushuang asked Li's mother, "How did they fall asleep?" β
Mother Li pointed to the head in the basin and said, "A few of them looked over and over again, looked at it for a while, and then fell asleep." β
Wushuang and I leaned over and fished out the head. muttered in a low voice: "This human head can still be hypnotized?" β
Just said that. Suddenly, the head opened its eyes again.
I tried to speak, but my mouth suddenly stopped listening. I don't want to turn my head away, I can't move my head.
I stared at the eyes in amazement. Suddenly, I felt like I had found a thin man inside. No, it's fat. I looked intently. It was found that there were four people inside. It's the thin man, the fat man, the abbot, and the sloppy Taoist.
They were standing on the ground, not knowing what they were doing. Suddenly, there was one more person around them. This person is clearly unique.
I was shocked: "Why did Wushuang go in too?" β
I want to tilt my head to see if the Wushuang around me is still there. But I couldn't move at all.
I could only widen my eyes and look inside. Gradually. I felt like I was getting closer to them, and they were getting clearer.
Then I shivered, and when I opened my eyes again. I'm already standing in a strange place.
A bitter smile came from the thin man's ears: "Xu You, are you here too?" β
I nodded at him and asked, "Where is this?" β
The thin man said, "It's Li Xiaoxing's dream." Didn't you tell us? β
I looked around. It was like we were in a military tent.
There was a general, sitting north facing south, staring at us. After a few seconds, he said majestically, "Sit." β
We saw tables on both sides of the east and west. It's like sitting at an ancient banquet.
We are very unfamiliar with the situation here, and no one dares to act rashly. Looking at the two rows of tables on the left and right, like the civil and military teams on the Jinluan Palace, I couldn't help but mutter.
The general said dissatisfiedly, "Let you sit, you will sit." Manly man, twisting and pinching, what does it look like? β
We sat down in a mess. It's just that they all sit on the same side β² a full column and an empty column. There is something strange about the whole pattern in the military tent.
The general snorted coldly: "The country horseman, who doesn't know etiquette, is smiling and generous." Then, as if very reluctantly, he shouted, "Raise the fire, eat." β
Then two men came in and lit a lot of lamps inside the commander.
The originally dim military tent suddenly lit up.
That's when we realized that there were a lot of heavily armed soldiers standing behind us. They were murderous, and each had a sword in his hand. It was like waiting for the general's order at any time. Chop us into pulp.
The thin man smiled bitterly: "We have met the knife and axeman." β
As the inside of the tent lit up, we could see the general's face clearly. It's simply Li Xiaoxing lying on the bed.
Wushuang snorted: "Why did Li Xiaoxing come here?" β
I shook my head: "Don't talk, see what he's going to do." β
The four of us sat in a row, talking to each other.
A group of soldiers brought up large basins of meat. It was heavily placed on the table in front of us.
The general drew his sword from his waist and drank wine as he cut the flesh. He poured himself a drink and ate it for a while. Then he said, "I see that some of you also have swords in your handsβ‘ so cut your own flesh and eat it." β
We looked at the food in front of us and couldn't eat it at all.
I dared to ask, "Are you Li Xiaoxing?" β
The general laughed: "Do you look like me? β
I cautiously replied, "It looks a little similar, but the temperament is not the same." β
The general stood up, and there was a rattle of heavy armor. With every step he took, I felt the earth tremble.
He walked up to me, leaned down, looked me in the eye and said, "There is no two heavens and no two people." In this world, there are not too many heroes. β
This man didn't reprimand me harshly, nor did he get angry. He just said one thing lightly and as a matter of course. I looked into his eyes and couldn't help but get soaked.
The general stomped his foot and sat back in his seat. As he ate the meat, he said, "What are we fighting for?" It's not to fight. Why we struggle to survive. So that you don't have to die. So, there are only two things in my life. That is to destroy the princes and unify the country. β
After a while, he let out another long sigh, as if he was in deep memory: "I once met a Taoist. Like you, he has a peachwood sword in his hand. However, his Taoist skills are profound, and he no longer needs a peachwood sword to kill the enemy, that sword is just a symbol of status. He has taken refuge in many people and attached himself to many forces. None of those people could help him. Then he found me. He felt that only I was the overlord of the world. Actually, he got it right this time. β
The general didn't shout deliberately, but his voice was so loud that it even echoed in the tent. Probably leading troops to fight for many years, and they have become accustomed to shouting on the battlefield.
I listened to him continue: "This Taoist has some great rebellious thoughts. Even crazier than me. He attached himself to me and begged me to use my human rights to help him gather the Taoist priests of the world. And in return, he promised me that after the deed was completed, he would help me live forever. Establish an immortal foundation. β
Wushuang blurted out: "The Taoist you are talking about, is it a genius?" β
The general was stunned, not minding that his words were interrupted. He nodded, "Not bad." He's a wizard. Back then, I waited for him for many years. He was gone, and there was no news. I captured a lot of Taoist priests and inquired about the results of that battle. I heard he was missing. In fact, more people think that he is gone. But I don't believe it, I know he's not dead. The wizard is thoughtful and more cunning than anyone else in the world. β
Wushuang interjected again: "He is indeed not dead. He hid in the underworld and became the king of Hades. However, now that he is dead, he has been put into the soul pool by us. β
The general shook his head and said, "He's not dead yet. Wizards are not as simple as you think. I waited decades when I was alive and thousands of years after I died. Now the opportunity has finally arrived. Immortality and unity. It's not in vain what I've been planning for years. β
We look at the ambitious generals, the somewhat crazy generals. He cautiously asked, "So, what are you doing with a few of us?" β
