Chapter 34: Cannon Fodder
“.. Bang bang..."
"Good, good. ”
Cui Long clapped his hands to show his satisfaction, and said: "Tomorrow, you only need to obey the old man's arrangement, remember, obey the order, and if you are safe and sound, the old man will give you unconditional freedom." ”
At this point, most of the prisoners had no choice but to be at their mercy. But a few reckless men were not afraid of death, so they questioned in a loud voice.
"Where are you asking me to wait..."
"yes, tell me what to do. ”
"That's right, or I'd rather die. ”
Seeing this, Cui Jian made a gesture and wanted to draw his sword and cut people again. This time, Cui Long raised his hand to press the hilt of his sword, and said secretly: "Don't be impulsive, look at my eyes for a while." After that, he walked to the edge of the high platform with his hands behind his back and said: "Everyone, Cui Mouming doesn't say dark words, he will go to the mountain of death in vain, and life and death will be subject to the destiny of heaven." ”
"What, you're leaving me to die. ”
"Phew, I know you didn't hold back your fart. ”
"This old dog is tired of being crooked, go there and die. ”
“.. Phew, you..."
As soon as these words came out, the prisoners exploded, frightened, cursed, fearful, resentful, and all kinds of emotions spread for a while. Even, several people fled outside the martial arts arena at all costs.
"Kill yourself" Cui Jian waved his hand.
Immediately, a row of crossbowmen on the outer wall stood by to release arrows, shooting the few people who fled first, and then turning their heads to the crowd in the field.
After the prisoners were divided, Cui Jiancai shouted in a deep voice: "Now, the old man gives you two choices, one dies, and the other obediently cooperates, and after the matter is completed, you will be free." ”
"Goo"
"Whew"
There was a dead silence in the martial arts field, no one came forward, and no one answered.
After more than a dozen breaths, Cui Jian stepped forward with a cold face and said, "Hmph, you are really iron men, you would rather die than give in." That's fine, the old man, this will fulfill you, and the crossbowmen will prepare. ”
“.. Hmm..."
Suddenly, the bows and arrows around were wound, and all the crossbowmen only waited for Gao Tai to give an order, and shot everyone present in one fell swoop.
"No, I'm willing to go, I'm willing. ”
"I... I'd like to..."
“... I surrender, I go...."
Under the pressure of death at this moment, when one person chooses to compromise, the rest of the people kneel down like dominoes to compromise, for fear that they will be a beat slower than others.
"The rabble has to be rough to be comfortable. ”
"Anu, control them and don't go wrong again. ”
The two brothers each gave a word of advice, and then left the martial arts field one after another.
Under the arrangement of the housekeeper, several servants quickly cleaned up the corpses, and the prisoners also dispersed, and gathered in a corner of a tiled shed to make do with the night.
"Lao Zhao, this mountain of vain death is really so terrifying. ”
"Brother Zhao is well-informed, give my brother a few words. ”
"Alas, you know a fart in your offspring, my brother has seen it with his own eyes...."
“... Death in vain exists forever, and an immortal tree is born in the mountain.... Its fruit heals the flesh and bones of the dead..."
Not long after, this old brother told the folk rumors of the death mountain in vain, although he added a few more words of bragging, he could still hear the truth of the death in vain from his words.
Death Mountain, a ghost left in the world.
According to legend, thousands of years ago, the ghost gate was opened, and a mountain range in Qingzhou suffered, and it became a ghost overnight. This mountain range spreads for more than 100 miles, and the corpse is shrouded in haze all year round. Gray mountains, gray mud, gray air, that desperate dead ash area almost wiped out all life. Every midnight, Yamanuchi hears a ghost crying, and at the end of the month, there will be living dead people crawling out of the mountain.
The world says that an immortal tree is born in the mountain of vain, which is rejuvenated for a thousand years, blooms for a thousand years, bears fruit for a thousand years, and breeds an immortal fruit for three thousand years, which can heal the flesh and bones of the dead, renew the holy life, and realize the avenue.
As a result, a group of outlaws went to the mountains to collect fruits. However, whoever steps in the gray mist will turn into a white bone in a few breaths. Qingzhou knows that three hundred years ago, there was an old sage in the state capital who was about to live to continue his life, and he forcibly broke into the mountain of death without listening to dissuasion, and then it was gone.
Since then, the mountain of vain death has become famous, almost to the extent of talking about vain death.
Of course, compared to the worry about the unknown danger of dying in vain, Luo Chen was more worried about his tongue, he was in a coma before, but the suffocating pain after waking up was really '*'.
The pain, the numbness, the pain, the ulceration, the cycle of death continued until he fell unconscious.
On the second day, the heavy snow stopped.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Guys, it's time to get to work. ”
The two little stewards each carried a gong and walked around, knocking on it every other time. After a while, the butler walked into the martial arts arena with his back hand, and four strong men behind him carried a huge wooden box to follow.
"Hey, come here. The butler called a steward, and after a few words of command, he covered his mouth and walked to the high platform.
I saw that the little steward instructed the strong man to put down the wooden box, and then shouted: "Don't sleep, everyone, come here to gather, this steward has something important to notify." ”
The prisoners didn't buy his face, and all of them lazily lay on the haystack, smiling at him.
"Well, if there's a fart, let it go, I can hear it. ”
"Hey, chicken feathers are arrows"
"I said, what are you talking about early in the morning? ”
Hearing this, the little steward became angry, and took out an iron whip from the side and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu is good to say or not, and I can't let Lao Tzu move roughly." You, what about you, what are you grinding, don't come back, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people. ”
In this way, the prisoners remained unmoved, and there was a great posture of right and wrong.
"Alright, you can step back first. ”
Seeing this, the housekeeper stepped forward to take the iron whip and weighed it: "What's the matter, it's also interesting to stumble on the old man early in the morning." Let's do this, the old man counts to ten, if no one has moved yet, then don't blame the iron whip for being ruthless. ”
"One"
"Two"
"Damn, I'll get you. ”
"Three"
"Boy, let go of Lao Tzu, this nest of angry Lao Tzu has had enough. ”
"Four"
"Grandma, a bear, boy, let go of Lao Tzu. ”
"Five"
.....
"Seven"
.....
"Hey, why are you dragging Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't go over. ”
.....
"Ten"
When the tenth sound fell, the butler tapped the floor tiles with an iron whip. Immediately, a large number of black-armored guards rushed into the outside of the martial arts arena and hacked to death seven or eight prisoners who did not assemble in time.
"Forty-two remaining, not bad. After the housekeeper counted the number of people with big eyes, he said, "Your choice is very pleasing to the old man." Not bad, very good, hahaha. With a smile, he threw down his whip and threw himself back to the platform.
"A group of cheap people, who don't listen to each other's good words, have to be rude. The little steward took the iron whip and said, "Hmph, Lao Tzu doesn't care about your spirit disciple or soul master, here, Cuifu compound, you have to coil it for me if it is a dragon, and you have to lie down for me if it is a tiger." A few of you unpack, let this group of sluts quickly change their clothes and get out. ”
"Bang"
The four strong men opened the wooden box in response, and one of them took out a stack of clothes and quickly distributed it. Each person had a black robe, a clean shirt, and linen trousers.
"Boy, what are you doing running away from the house. ”
"Hey, little... Little brother, thank you... Thank you for saving your life. ”
"Little brother, you can't give a word to the Sprinkle family. ”
At this time, Luo Chen's black face turned his back to a reckless bear, pretending not to hear his crookedness.
A moment ago, if he hadn't turned around and threw the silver chain around the sleeve of this guy, this guy would have gone violently, and he would have to step forward and fight to the death with the housekeeper. If it weren't for the silver chain wrapped around a dead button, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't untie it in one or two clicks, he wouldn't have dragged this guy to death.
"Hey, you won't look down on the Sprinkle family, tell you, the Sprinkle family back then..."
Luo Chen really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he couldn't bear the pain and stuck out his tongue at him, and said secretly: Brother, don't bother me, let's continue to look for death.
"Hiss"
The reckless man's breath stagnated, and he said with red eyes: "Tongue nails, this group of beasts, why did they give a heavy hand to a child." Little brother, right.. I'm sorry, I don't know your situation. ”
"By the way, the name of the Sprinkle family is Kui Sanhu, what about you. ”
"Oh, look at my brain, little brother, you can't speak. ”
Hearing this, Luo Chen smiled politely, and then looked around for a spare corner to hide. But who knows, Kui Sanhu also got in.
"I said, why should we change our clothes and hide. ”
"Hey, don't say it, it's pretty warm. ”
The two were honest with each other, and Luo Chen took this opportunity to glance at the reckless man. Kui Sanhu is more than eight feet tall, his arms are longer than his knees, his muscles are obvious, and his big eyes look like a humanoid horse monkey. He had more than a dozen scars on his body, and a piercing arrow wound on his heart was the most eye-catching.
Kui Sanhu also had a silver chain on his collarbone, but a hint of white glint would flash on his silver chain from time to time.
.....
In a moment, the prisoners changed their clothes. After the little steward gave instructions to the high platform, he ran out of the martial arts arena in small steps, attracting two huge carriages.
In terms of volume, the volume of a carriage is comparable to that of a small wagon, with three tall horses in front of each carriage. The horse has dark green dragon scales, dark green eyes, a pair of canine teeth at the corner of the mouth, and a strong fishy smell is sprayed on the exhale, and a wisp of blood is hidden under the horse's mane.
"Yo, Iron-Blooded Dragonpony. ”
At this time, Kui Sanhu's eyes glared at the boss, but he put on a disdainful high posture, and said: "Yes, Cui Lao Ghost is bound to win this operation, and the treasures at the bottom of the box have been taken out." ”
Although Luo Chen has seen countless wild beasts, it is the first time he has seen such a strange horse.
"Little brother, what kind of expression do you have, you don't know the name of the Iron Blood Dragon Horse. Kui Sanhu saw that he was confused, and then he believed that there were really people in the world who were as knowledgeable as idiots.
The four famous horses of Daqian, the uncrowned emperor of horses.
The Iron Blood Dragon Pony of the Demon Desolation of the Western Regions, the Blazing Ghost Pony of the Savage Wilderness of the Southern Regions, the One-Horned Pegasus of the Reckless Desolation of the Eastern Regions, and the Red Pupil Blood Horse of the Northern Ice Plain. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of Pegasus and ghost horses are hard to find, and blood horses haunt the forbidden area deep in the ice field, and their whereabouts are even more difficult to capture. The Iron Blood Dragon Pony is produced from the Demon Wilderness, a hybrid of the Wild Horse King and the Jiaolong, and there are still some mass production every year.
However, the dragon foals provided by the demon famine every year have been coaxed by good deeds, and each dragon foal has been speculated at a sky-high price.
"Bang"
"Bang"
The little steward slammed the ground with a whip, and when everyone looked up, he raised his head and stepped forward, saying, "Everyone, don't shout, twenty people in a carriage, let Lao Tzu slip into the car." ”
At this point, the prisoners were no longer willing, so they could only bite the bullet.
“.. Huh: Huh..."
After a strong roar of horses, the convoy drove out of the martial field.
Although the carriage was large, twenty rough men were crammed into a carriage of less than six square meters, and it basically became a picture of crowded people and people being crowded.
"Little brother, you said that this time we are somewhat sure of surviving. ”
"Hey, look at your sad face, don't worry, the sprinkle family will protect you. ”
"What's the matter, you don't believe in the strength of the Sprinkle family...."
At this moment, Luo Chen finally realized what it meant to be a Tang monk. Since saving this old brother's life, he has been chattering endlessly, from the seventh aunt to the eighth aunt, and from the eighth aunt to the previous dynasty.
At this time, Luo Chen shouted in his heart: Brother, please shut up. Also, who the fuck has smelly feet, which is also spicy eyes.
"Little brother, I don't know if you've heard the rumors of the Vain Death Mountain...."
“... You don't know, this mountain is so tight that you don't dare to sprinkle the family when they are in their heyday..."
"If the Sprinkler burps, you have to bury the body of the Sprinkler family, don't let the Sprinkler family...."
"By the way, little brother, don't worry, if you burp, the Sprinkle family will also collect your body. ”
.....
"Hey, why are you asleep, the Sprinkle family hasn't finished yet. ”
“... Forget it, the Sprinkle family is also sleepy, so I'll be here first..."
