Long Xiaoman shook her head and said that she didn't know, at that time she only remembered that she was dragged down by something with Mo Yue, and then she didn't know anything.

I looked at the torches burning all over the street and said, "Forget it, leave her alone, look at this place, does it look like a huge dungeon?" ”

Long Xiaoman glanced around, and then walked around the huge dungeon with me.

I saw that this huge underground city is very well preserved, the straight streets are in good order, and the houses on both sides are scattered, although there are no people, you can still feel the liveliness of this place in the past.

Long Xiaoman looked at the Loulan characters that could be seen everywhere and affirmed, "I can't imagine that the original Loulan Ancient Kingdom did not disappear, but fell into the ground!" ”

I was also secretly amazed that this was a huge mystery that had plagued the whole world for more than 2,000 years, and I couldn't imagine that the truth was like this.

Then I suddenly noticed something strange, so I said to Long Xiaoman, "Have you noticed it, it doesn't seem to be quite right here!" ”

Long Xiaoman also saw the clue, nodded and said, "There is indeed a problem, the city has sunk into the ground, it may be caused by earthquakes and other reasons, but there is not a single corpse here, which means that before the city fell into the ground, this place has become an empty city." ”

I was a little puzzled, and I randomly picked a few rooms on both sides of the street with Long Xiaoman and went in, and found that the furnishings inside were in good order, and some of the tables even had pottery bowls on them, and I also found some black things in a pottery bowl, like eating leftover food.

This negates that the people here at that time fled en masse after predicting the earthquake, because if they were prepared to flee, it would be impossible to put down their chopsticks and leave, and I also found some gold and silver jewelry in the house, and it is impossible for them not to take these things with them if they left on their own initiative.

So what happened here at the beginning, so that the people of Loulan City disappeared without a trace, and they couldn't even see a corpse.

Long Xiaoman said suddenly, "There is another situation. ”

I hurriedly asked what the situation was, Long Xiaoman looked at these houses, and slowly spit out two words, "Slaughter the city!" ”

"Slaughtering the city?" I was stunned.

Long Xiaoman nodded, and continued, "In ancient wars, some tribes were very strong and had particularly strong combat effectiveness, but the population was very small. Therefore, after capturing the city, under the premise that there are not enough people to defend the city, they will choose to slaughter the city to avoid worries. ”

"In addition to this accident, there are many reasons for the slaughter of the city, such as the people defending the city are too tenacious, which angers the besiegers. Or maybe it is the commander of the siege, who is himself a bloody and brutal man, and every time he captures a city, he must slaughter the city as the greatest enjoyment. ”

"The most famous person in history to slaughter the city, is the ancient Mongolian Genghis Khan, when the Mongolian soldiers were invincible in the world, but the population was insufficient, the Mongol army fought all the way to Europe, and every gram of the next city, it was inevitable to carry out a large-scale slaughter."

"There is the Qing army captured Yangzhou after the famous 'Yangzhou Ten Days' in history, this is a typical anger slaughter, under the premise that the Qing army occupies an absolute advantage, Yangzhou defender Shi Kefa desperately resisted, although the Qing army finally captured the city with difficulty, but suffered heavy losses, in a rage, he ordered to slaughter the city for ten days."

"These are just the tip of the iceberg of the massacre in history, and there are many, many ......"

Long Xiaoman was about to continue, when he suddenly turned his head to look at me and said nervously, "Zhang Zhanning, what's wrong with you!" ”

By this time my two fists were already clenched, my nails were digging into my flesh, and I was gritting my teeth and trembling all over.

When Long Xiaoman talked about the slaughter of the city, I suddenly remembered the original dream, in the dream, after I captured the city, I personally ordered the slaughter of the city!

I can't imagine that the disappearance of the ancient civilization of Loulan is because of what I did in a certain life!

Standing on the deserted streets of ancient times, I seemed to hear the cries of the soldiers of yesteryear, the wails of the people of the city, the cries of the beggars, the cries of children......

And I'm like a demon, leaving no chickens and dogs wherever I go!

"No!"

I couldn't control my emotions anymore, yelled, fell to my knees with a pop, and cried, "I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, forgive me, you forgive me!" ”

"Zhang Zhanning, be sober, it's not your fault!" Long Xiaoman hugged my shoulder distressedly, "That was more than 2,000 years ago, and it has nothing to do with you now!" ”

I clenched my fists tightly and pounded my head hard, even though it was more than 2,000 years ago, but I still couldn't accept my demonic behavior.

"Zhanning, don't be like this!" Long Xiaoman cried and grabbed my hand, I hugged her and cried, Long Xiaoman also shed tears, but held me tightly in his arms.

After a while, my emotions calmed down a little, and I looked at Long Xiaoman and asked, "Xiaoman, do you think that if I fully evolve, will I become the brutal me I was more than two thousand years ago?" You must know right, if that's the case, I beg you, kill me now, I really don't want that! ”

Long Xiaoman hugged me tightly, "No, you must not, I believe in you, no matter what you become, I will always be by your side, just like that diary ......"

Long Xiaoman stopped suddenly, didn't continue, slowly helped me up from the ground, took a deep breath and said, "You calm down, the appearance of your name on the wordless stone tablet does not necessarily mean that you will definitely evolve into a demon in the future, now, there are still many things waiting for you to do, understand?" The heart grows on you, whether you become a demon or not is entirely up to you, I believe in you! ”

I looked at Long Xiaoman and wiped away my tears, "Xiaoman, thank you." ”

Long Xiaoman smiled, "Let's go, let's continue to do what we have to do." ”

The more I walked through this dungeon, the more familiar I became, and the clearer my memories became, and this time I could remember some details of the past without entering the dream.

I pointed to a junction and sighed, "Back then, I once erected a pillar here and burned the lord of the city to death, while I drank and had fun......

Long Xiaoman patted me lightly on the shoulder, "You try to recall the details of the year now, maybe the truth is hidden in a certain detail, those are all in the past, you should treat it as another person, don't let emotions sway your thinking." ”

I took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm supposed to do." ”

Then Long Xiaoman and I were walking around this empty city while recalling some details of the year, and then I suddenly said to Long Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, can you promise me one thing?" ”

"I promise, you can say it." Long Xiaoman replied briskly without thinking about it.

I was stunned, "You agreed without asking anything?" ”

Long Xiaoman looked at me and smiled, "As long as it is what you want to do, I will promise you anything." ”

After listening to it, I felt that my heart was pinched by something, my nose was sour, and my eyes were red, and a woman said this kind of thing to herself, that kind of gratitude and touch, I really can't describe it in words.

I looked at Long Xiaoman and said seriously, "Xiaoman, if I really evolve into a demon one day, you will kill me as soon as possible." ”

"No way!" Long Xiaoman replied decisively.

"Why?" I wondered, "Didn't you just say that you promised me everything?" ”

Long Xiaoman said as he walked, "I promise you anything, but as long as it hurts you, I can't do anything." ”

"But if I do become a demon......

Long Xiaoman suddenly turned his head to look at me, and said to me word by word seriously, "Then I will accompany you, I will do what you do, even if you harm the whole world, I will follow you to bear the infamy of the world, if you are an angel, I will purify all beings with you, if you are a demon, I will accompany you to kill the world!" ”

I stared at Long Xiaoman for a long time, but I couldn't say a word, and I felt that my throat was blocked by something.

"What, I have flowers on my face?" Long Xiaoman smiled and touched his face.

I suddenly laughed, "Just kidding, how can I become a demon, even if I become a demon, I can't pull you into the water, haha, okay, keep going, I remember there was a square over there, go and see, maybe you can find some clues." ”

Then I pointed to a room and said that there seemed to be movement inside, and asked Long Xiaoman to go in and take a look, and I was guarding outside.

Long Xiaoman nodded, pulled out the dark blue dagger and slowly approached the room, and after she walked in, I finally couldn't help it, and tears fell down in big pieces.

If you are an angel, I will purify all beings with you, and if you are a demon, I will accompany you to kill the world!

Long Xiaoman, I understand your intentions, but in this life, I'm afraid I can only say sorry to you.

After a while, Long Xiaoman walked out of the room with a puzzled expression, looked at me and said, "There's nothing in it, did you hear it wrong?" ”

I pretended to be casual and laughed, "Maybe, hey, I've been through too much and made myself babble." ”

"It's okay, it's a good thing to be vigilant, it means that you have made a lot of progress."

I really didn't hear any movement just now, and I just wanted to break Long Xiaoman apart, because I didn't want to show my emotions in front of her, and since I knew that I couldn't take it for her, I tried not to hurt her.

But I didn't lie about the square, I did remember just now that there was indeed a square on one side of the city, and it was there that I saw Ye Chengcheng, that is, the little mute.

On the way, I had a question and asked Long Xiaoman, it stands to reason that I slaughtered the city that day, it should have been burned and plundered, but how could the city be so well preserved?

Long Xiaoman explained that the soldiers slaughtering the city did not necessarily have to destroy the city, because the moment the city was captured, the city was already their own.

And after the slaughter of the city, these houses will be used as temporary barracks for the besieging soldiers, the soldiers who were besieging the city, that is, your army more than 2,000 years ago, may have suddenly received some urgent order, and the troops immediately moved out, so there is no time to clean up.

"As for the gold and silver jewellery that was left behind......"

Long Xiaoman suddenly looked at me and smiled, "It shows that you were a very good general more than two thousand years ago, and when your order was issued, the soldiers didn't dare to delay for a moment, and they didn't even have time to take away the gold and silver jewelry." This shows that at that time you not only had the ability, but also had a very charismatic personality, and the soldiers not only feared you, but also respected you more. ”

I nodded, "That's right, I vaguely remember that after I broke the city, everything I got was ordered to be distributed to the soldiers." ”

While speaking, we have come to the square, the square is circular, there is a high platform in the center, and there is a chair made of gold on the platform, Long Xiaoman rushed up with an arrow, stood next to the chair, and smiled at me, "General, please take a seat!" ”

At this moment, I was completely stunned, Long Xiaoman was wearing the ancient clothes of the year at this time, and she was standing next to the chair like this, saving me from the knife of the little mute......
