Chapter 273: The Capital of the Killing Country

At the moment, we dare not delay any longer, after all, time is pressing. After giving the farmer a little ingot, he got us a carriage.

Following the direction he pointed, we drove there.

Even how did the Flame King use his ghost power to control this car and make the carriage speed up...... But in order to avoid the patrol soldiers of their dynasty, we had to turn around many times. It took nearly seven days in the middle of this to finally reach the vicinity of this royal capital!

From a distance, it looks like a giant beast in the wilderness, lurking there, all revealing a fierce and vicious aura! A little closer, the sense of oppression is even stronger, the city wall is ten meters high, and solid, and on the city wall, there are a lot of crossbow arrows, the more you look at it, the more it looks like an iron bunker, no one can break through.

The walls are high, and correspondingly, the gates are also very high! Visually, it's as tall as two or three floors!

Our position was obviously ten miles away, but I was numb in the back by the momentum, as if I was being targeted by some snake. When I had palpitations, I looked back at the Flame Killer King and found that his face was full of shock. This kind of expression, this is the first time I have seen it on the face of the Flame King, and I was a little panicked at the moment, and took his hand, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He looked at me, and the shock in his pupils hadn't gone away!

This made me wonder even more, and I looked at the faceless ghost and Tianqing Daoist next to me, and they didn't have any special performance except for being amazed. However, the left general was also shocked, staring at the royal capital dumbfounded, and opened his mouth exaggeratedly. "My king...... That's not ...... Is it the capital of our kingdom? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

"The capital of the Killing Kingdom?"

It is absolutely impossible for the left general to remember the capital of the killing country. And looking at the expressions of the Killing Flame King and Shan'er, you can know that he is right!

But......

Didn't the killing of the country 3,000 years ago? If the royal capital here is very similar to the capital of the Killing Kingdom, what does this mean? Thinking about it, my scalp exploded, and I always felt ...... There seems to be some connection behind this, but I can't find a connection at all!

But this feeling is enough to make people feel like a man!

The faceless ghost swallowed with difficulty, "Reckless man, are you right? ”

General Zuo was anxious, "I am a dignified general of the country, how can I mistake the dynasty I am loyal to?" ”

"But didn't your killing country disappear more than 3,000 years ago?"

General Zuo was panicked and dazed, "I don't know...... Why...... This is where the capital of the dynasty will appear......"

My face was ugly, and an idea popped into my head.

The Taoist of Tianqing said that he would build an empire here and then be king himself.

And General Zuo said that this royal capital was the capital of their country at that time......

There is also Shan'er who said that the person behind him is the leader of the Demon Slayer Legion, and the left general fought with the Demon Slayer Legion at the beginning......

Together, do these points represent......

The "god king" behind him, what he wants to do is the king of the killing country? That's why he led the Demon Slayer Army to fight against the Killing Country?

As soon as this idea came to me, I looked at the Flame King in astonishment and noticed that his face was solemn. Hold my hand tightly, extra hard. I endured the pain and didn't move.

……………………

Because of this accident, the Taoist of Tianqing meant that he should not rush in to die first, and take a look outside. So in the vicinity, he found a random village to settle in, and then he took the faceless ghost to sneak in and find out the news. Hearing them say that they were going to enter the city, I was still very worried, "You two go in, will you be discovered?" ”

"It's okay! I can hide my breath and take on the form of their ghosts. Faceless ghosts are ghosts in the first place, and they don't even need disguise, and we won't be okay when we go in. It's really not good, I have a way to escape, don't worry. ”

He insisted so much, I didn't know how to persuade him. "Why don't you bring the left general with you? After all, he was familiar with the inside. ”

General Zuo nodded violently next to him, "Uh-huh!" Every grass and tree in the capital is very familiar to the generals! ”

Daoist Tianqing thought about it and did not object. But he kept bowing his head and telling him not to be reckless! General Zuo nodded beside him, as if he could enter the capital of the Killing Country again, for him, it was like returning home, excited and excited!

Then, the Tianqing Daoist took them away.

As soon as they left, the house was empty. And after Shan'er saw Wang Du, the whole person was wrong, and her small body would always tremble unconsciously.

I hugged him tightly in distress, "Shan'er, are you scared?" ”

He seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't hear it, and I called him several times before he came back to his senses. A pair of wet eyes looked at me like a lost fawn, and his hands were tugging at my clothes. "Mother, you won't leave Shan'er, will you?"

He was so tight, his eyes were so longing, my heart trembled fiercely, and I hugged him tightly. "Silly Shan'er, you are the heart of your mother, how can your mother be willing to leave you?"

Only then did he slowly calm down, and in my arms, he slowly fell asleep. When I fell asleep, there were still tears in the corners of my eyes......

I was stunned, knowing very well that when Shan'er saw the capital, he must have remembered something that would make him so panicked and helpless.

But...... What were the painful memories he was recalling?

This feeling of not knowing anything,. Egg. I carefully covered him with the quilt and walked out of the room. After looking around the courtyard, he found that the Flame King was standing on the roof, looking in the direction of the royal capital in a daze. I pursed my lips, climbed up from behind, and sat down next to him.

When I sat down, I realized that he was still dragging the half of the jade jue in his hand, which was their marching order to kill the country. When he saw me sit down, he came to his senses and put my head around his shoulder. Then the two of us quietly looked in the direction of the royal capital, and from the village, we could faintly see a corner of the royal capital.

In that corner, there was a pillar made of white jade, which stood very tall. I don't know what the pillar does because it's across the city wall, but it's taller than the city wall, and the head that pops out of it just happens to reveal the carving on it. Above the pillar, there seemed to be a few large birds. Because it's too far away, I can't see it clearly, but I'm sure that what the Flame King is looking at is what is on this pillar!

"Did you remember anything again?"

I thought about it for a long time, but I asked softly. The Killing Flame King nodded, his expression was very complicated, "This pillar is the 'Cleansing Pillar' of the Killing Country, and anyone who is sentenced to capital punishment will be tied to this pillar and punished by the gods for seven hundred and forty-nine days. In the event of death, it means that the guilt is not enough to be washed, and the body will be thrown to the vulture. ”

I suddenly wondered I was there

Suddenly, I wanted to say something, but I turned my head and saw the Flame King hanging his head, the expression on his face uncertain. Then he didn't say anything more, only said that he wanted to be quiet, and I knew each other and walked away. Jumping off the roof, I also looked back, and his figure looked particularly depressed and lonely in the wind.

I thought he was remembering the things in the capital, remembering the events of more than 3,000 years ago, but it wasn't until later that I realized that he was ...... It's a reminder of myself who was once tied to it......

……………………

Shan'er fell asleep, the Flame King was in a daze, and I sat alone in the room, always feeling uneasy and unstable, so I simply went to the courtyard.

The room where we are staying temporarily is a tofu shop. The shopkeeper was a seventy-year-old man, and she was the only one in the room, and an old donkey. She has been grinding tofu there since we came in, and the old donkey has been pushing the grinding plate, round and round, and every step has been extremely difficult, but it has never stopped.

I was idle, so I went over and helped grind the beans. The tofu maker looked up at me, his eyes were very empty. I waved suspiciously, but when I noticed that she was not responding, I realized that she was blind.

It's just that...... As ghosts, are there also blind people?

She listened intently, guessing that I was helping her with the grinding, and she smiled at me, "Thank you girl for being kind." ”

I smiled and said it was okay, and while grinding, I watched the sky slowly darken. Until the night fell, Tianqing Dao and they still did not come back......
