Chapter 2 The Fierce War in Xinjiang
The toon tree at night is particularly quiet and elegant, and the toon buds exude a faint fragrance, which fills the valley. I rode on Yoyo's back, flew around the toon tree a few times, and looked at the starry sky, "Brother Yu, do you say that the zombies in Xinjiang have anything to do with the witch immortals? The king sent the Imperial Forest Army over this time, can he defeat them? I mean my mana is still very weak, and the poetry skills of the bold faction are completely incapable of exerting themselves, and I have no strength." ”
"Master, don't worry, when the opportunity comes, your spiritual power will naturally be fully opened. Because the mystery of your jade pendant has not yet been solved. "Blowing bubbles and playing with swarms of fireflies.
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains", I closed my eyes and exercised, inhaled and exerted force, danced my arms, and practiced the bold mantra.
"Master, rest early. Tomorrow I will go over and say hello to poetry and poetry, and we will fly to Lop Nur to fight zombies together. As he spoke, he put me under the toon tree and turned into a scissorhands.
"OK! I'll do my best!" I smiled and walked home, disappearing into the night.
The next morning, I went to the palace to say hello to the king, and then went to the East Palace to find the prince Shiwen, Shiwen heard that I was going to Lop Nur country, a shocked face, frightened to the face of the green, put a hand on my neck and said, "Brother, won't you? You are going to feed the zombies? I don't want to burn paper money for you on the Qingming Festival next year." It's better to stay, study poetry together, and be my auxiliary hero in the future!"
"Shiwen, thank you for your concern. Not this time, I must go this time, I dreamed of a fairy last night, he said that Xinjiang zombies are related to my Pisces jade pendant, I want to find out. You know, it's my character. I said it categorically.
Seeing that I am so persistent, poetry attracts poetry, and we have a drink together at noon, which can be regarded as practicing for you.
"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west. Ah Jiu, come, let's have this toast. If there is a danger, thirty-six plans, go to the top plan, if trapped in the country of Lop Nur, the flying pigeon to pass the book to General Zhu, this is the location of his camp, the father sent him to lead 20,000 royal forest troops to the country of Lop Nur to help the war. You can take my token and go to him. As he spoke, he handed me a map of the barracks and a token of the East Palace.
During the banquet, the poems were silent, which was also like her gentle character, and I chatted with Shiwen about the funny things of my childhood in the past, remembering catching rabbits in the camellia field together, digging birds' eggs together in the mountain eagle pass, and laughing from time to time. After a few rounds of wine and food, I was ready to say goodbye, "Kyushu, I heard from my father that there are zombies fighting in Xinjiang, you must take care of this trip! Be careful and get home safely. As she spoke, she pushed open the window and looked northwest.
"Princess, don't worry, I have the protection of the gods, and everything will turn evil into good. I'll bring you authentic Xinjiang lamb skewers back, haha. I said goodbye happily, and in a string of backs, I waved away.
I went home, packed up my clothes and dry food, said goodbye to my grandfather, and when I returned to the toon tree, I called out Youyou, rode Youyou, flew over Niuwang Village, flew into the clouds, and went straight to the northwest. About an hour, we flew to Yumen Pass, and at an inn at the pass, I sat down, "Little Er, come with a pot of mare's milk wine and two catties of dry-cut beef." Yoyo, who was hiding in my arms, also chewed a few mouthfuls of beef, drank a few sips of mare's milk wine, and whispered with red gills, "Master, this beef is not as delicious as shrimp, but this mare's milk is delicious." ”
"Well, Brother Yu, this wine is strong, drink less, you won't be able to fly when you're drunk. "When I finished eating it, its lips were swollen, and it looked like it was really drunk.
"Little Er, is there a guest room? I beckoned.
"Okay. Guest, upstairs please. Xiao Er said as he took me upstairs.
When I came to the guest room, I closed the door and went to bed, it was so comfortable. I was about to sleep when I heard a quarrel next door, and I was a little stunned when I calmed down and listened.
"Second brother, the eldest brother means to get back the mysterious book of the Shixian Sword in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, you bring such a big box to contain the treasure, do you say that your head was kicked by a donkey?......" A rough voice scolded loudly.
"I have a wife and children, and I have dragged my family with me, and I have come all the way to this place where birds don't, and I must bring some treasures back by the way. Don't ink it, yell, be careful I cut you!" said the other sternly.
"I'm afraid that things will be too heavy and delay our escape. I heard that zombies appeared near the ancient city of Loulan, and the local herdsmen and horses were all skinned alive. I'm worried! It's better to listen to the boss, don't pick up the sesame seeds, lose your brains!"
"Okay, okay, you can run away first. The sky is falling, and I'm holding on to it. ”
"Okay, hurry up and rest, and go dig the grave tomorrow. ”
It turned out to be two tomb robbers, but I'm quite interested in the mysterious book of the poetry fairy sword, it should be the five books that Yoyo said.
The north wind was blowing, and on a wrinkled night, in the sound of sleeping snoring, I seemed to see zombies crawling all over the windowsill. In addition to being nervous, I practiced the bold mantra "Lu Fei of the horse, the bow is like a thunderbolt and the strings are frightened", "Lupine scarf, the canopy is in ashes between talking and laughing", which made my heart boil. Then he washed up and hurried to rest.
Early the next morning, Yoyo threw up a blister over my head, and then shook the blister a few times with his tail to wake me up. After settling the bill, we soared into the stable and headed for the country of Lop Nur. I rode on the back of Youyou, looking down on the vast northwest desert, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion on the wind and sand, so I sang a long poem "Short Song Xing • West Wind Fierce", and you praised it again and again after listening to it.
Tanka Line • West Wind Strong
Outside the Yumen Pass, Helan Mountain,
The west wind is sad, and the yellow sand is bloodthirsty.
The wind and sand are high, and the bonfire is growing,
Ten thousand flags are the same, and the grassland is dominant.
The Huns are strong, the Khan is a horse,
Populus euphratica is on the edge, and the yurt is off-road.
The desert moved south, Jin Ge was extinguished,
Flying arrows are all over the sky, and the bones are feasting.
The wolf travels in Henan, explores the Han cave,
The beacon is in flames, and the sunset is like a sunset.
Rolling yellow sand, battle flag hunting,
Ban horses neighed, and heroes wept blood.
The southern conquest and the northern war, a horse and a flat river,
Under the banner of the wind horse, the triumphant song should be in the sky.
The spring breeze blows the willows, Wu Nong whispers softly,
In a corner of peace, it fell with a snap of a finger.
The walls were broken, burned and plundered,
The four fields are poisonous, and the bones are smoking.
Complaining, the virus is raging,
The rotting fireflies are tired, and the roe deer vultures multiply.
The west wind is cold, and the wives are scattered,
Su Wu shepherds, and the withered grass stretches the edge.
The world in the pupil, the city is torn,
The remnant sun is like blood, and the cold wind is like iron.
Feng Wolf Juxu, Hero Jiuquan,
Jingkang is difficult to peace, and the river is full of red throat.
Bingbing History, Scrolling Yellow Pages,
The war book is cloudy, and the country is destroyed.
Expand the territory, happiness is the thought,
Fast horses are like lightning, and tribute is like a bird.
Tianshan Snow Lotus, Inner Mongolia Chicken Blood,
Hetian Yujue, Jiangnan graceful.
Wine is like blood, beautiful women warm the temple,
The west wind is one night, and the spring breeze is several years.
Billowing wolf smoke, the Great Wall bleak,
Rise and fall from generation to generation, life and death.
The grass is glorious and withered, and the iron-blooded steel whip,
The goshawk circles, and Ao Bao sacrifices to the sky.
The soul of the dead sleeps,
The world is unified, and spring is emerging.
The west wind is strong, the mare's milk wine is fresh,
The sun and the moon are like shuttles, and the horse's hooves are like swords.
Genghis Khan, drifting with the wind,
The sun sets over the long river, and the cattle and sheep do not speak.
The bow is full of moon, and the galaxy is split,
The wind and drizzle, the eternal joy.
Hunting the west wind, crisscrossing and closing,
Huaxia Qiankun, a classic of the Warring States period.
After listening to it for a long time, you suddenly said, "Master, listening to this poem, I feel that it is ancient and heroic, covering the thousand-year-old civilization of China, and the ancient wind is fierce, like a mellow old wine! If you concentrate on cultivating this kind of poetry, you will definitely become a top master. ”
"Well, Brother Yu, I still feel that a flame like a volcanic eruption in my body is gathering in my heart, and I can't erupt out. Is it like what is said in the martial arts novel, I haven't opened the second pulse of Ren Du yet?Can you be kind enough to use your internal strength to help me get through the second pulse of Ren Du?" I patted the back of the fish lightly to please Youyou.
"Master, no need to rush. Now you just need to familiarize yourself with those bold mantras and graceful mantras and practice them diligently. When the opportunity comes, any of your skills and spirituality will be resurrected with full blood! At that time, I will only be your assistant and deputy, haha!" Youyou scratched the corners of his mouth with his fish whiskers and said slowly.
"Okay, then I must slay the demons and kill them!" I gestured with my hand to the long sword, drawing the arc of my dream in the bright starry sky.
Chatting and chatting, before we knew it, we were in the country of Lop Nur. As soon as we landed, we were covered with collapsed, dilapidated yellow walls, a hoarse west wind swept through the silent streets, not a single liquor store in the market was open, and the streets were littered with garbage.
"Brother Yu, it seems that this place has really been ransacked by zombies!"
"Well, master, have you noticed it? There is no blood on the street. There is no rain in the northwest, and if zombies slaughter the city, the streets should be full of blood. It's a little weird!" Yoyo touched his head with his whiskers, looking puzzled.
"yes, let's go further ahead and see how it goes. "I had walked some way west and saw a fire. When he approached the embers, he found that it was a bottomless pit with fire inside.
"Is this a crater?" Confused, I got on Yoyo's back and flew around the crater twice with Yoyo.
"Brother Yu, let's fly in and explore this tiger's lair and dragon pool, and see if it's a zombie's lair down here?"
"Okay, master, I'll cover our bodies with water spirit balls to prevent burns from the heat. As he spoke, Yoyo spat out a huge blue blister from his mouth, covering me and it.
We flew into the pit, knocked a few frightened bats along the way, and finally flew into the pit, and found that there were torches lit inside, the lights were bright, and several rows of skinny zombies patrolled in line, and Yoyo and I turned on the stealth technique, and soon finished the cave, the cave was divided into three layers, it turned out that the zombies concentrated people and animals in the lowest layer of the dungeon, opened a hole in them, and used blood-sucking green wood branches to drain their blood into the clay pots, and then transported these clay pots full of blood to the outside of the cave.
"This is a hematopoietic factory. I whispered to Yoyo.
"Master, what do we do now?"
"First find a way to get these people out, and then think of countermeasures to destroy the zombies. ”
"Master, those dry corpses have been patrolling, how can we have a chance to take these people away?"
"I have a way, watch mine. "I said and ran to the second cave, set the cave on fire, and the zombies were all gathered mechanically to the second cave to put out the fire. I also used the earth escape technique to escape directly into the dungeon, opened the door of the prison, pulled out the green wood branches, and lifted the people on the back of the fish, which was filled with a dozen people, and then spread my wings and flew high, and took the people out of the cave and escaped.
Several times, taking advantage of the thick soot, we rescued all the survivors who were captured by zombies. The fire grew bigger and bigger, many zombies were burned to death, some zombies struggled to crawl out of the cave, smoke and anger coming from their mouths, and some zombies set fire to the soles of their feet. Angry zombies sprayed us with a green seaweed-like viscous liquid, and I rode on Yoyo's back to dodge the zombies' venom attacks, and the green venom fell to the ground, which was immediately scorched, forming small charred craters.
With a few flicks of his big tail, he threw a few jets of water out of the fish's tail to knock the zombie to the ground, and then spat out a cloud of blisters from his mouth, locking the zombie firmly to the ground. The zombie, unable to move, let out a hoarse whimper. Yoyo and I looked at each other for a moment.
"Brother Yu, are these zombies begging us for mercy?"
"Master, probably not. Zombies are all mummies, how can they have feelings? Where will they beg for mercy?"
Just when we are scratching our heads, the sky is covered with dark clouds, wind and sand are rolling, lightning and thunder, and there is a sense of the end of the world. A stream of wind and sand rolled a flame, a stream of wind and sand rolled a ball of lightning, and two streams of wind and sand swept towards us like two tornadoes in the lightning and stone fire at a sprint speed of 100 meters per second.
"Brother Yu, what's going on?"
As soon as the words fell, Yoyo and I were struck dozens of meters by these two streams of wind and sand, as if we were beaten out by the palms of two professional boxers. When Yoyo and I vomited blood and slowly got up, we found two grim faces standing in front of the zombie team, a big man with a turnip head, holding a mace in each hand, and a raging flame above his head, and a mysterious old man with an unkempt face and a difficult face, with empty hands and golden lightning flashing from time to time.
"It turns out that these two are rescuers recruited by zombies sending out a distress signal!" I suddenly realized, and muttered in my heart, "One can burst into flames, the other can use lightning, what should I do, what should I do? ”
I winked at Yoyo, who seemed to read my thoughts, but didn't mean to take off and run away.
"Master, I'm injured now, and I'm afraid I can't fly as fast as they can do in a hurricane. I can only fight hard. Yoyo said solemnly.
At this time, the big man finally spoke, "We are the fire tribulation and electric soul under the command of Liancheng, are you two tired of living and not knowing whether they are alive or dead?
"Fire Tribulation, don't talk to them!" The electric soul flew directly into the air, lightning and thunder between the two palms, and a golden lightning ball was about to come out.
Huo Tribulation waved his mace with both hands, and the wind and sand in front of him mixed with flames formed a circle, and he struck hard, and the two maces hit the ground together, and suddenly a crack cracked in front of him, cracking towards us; In front of me, the sky and the earth cracked, the wind and sand were everywhere, and the lightning and thunder roared.
Yoyo took off into the air at great speed, spun around us twice, and covered us with a round water vapor balloon. Driven by the hurricane and yellow sand, we couldn't open our eyes and kept moving backwards, and when the lightning ball hit the water vapor balloon, the current quickly broke through the water vapor balloon, and we were all numb by electricity. Finally we put our feet on the empty side, and we fell downward, and we fell downward.
I glanced at Yoyo, its scales were bloodshot, and I felt guilty and hurt that I couldn't use my skills. I suddenly noticed that my Pisces jade pendant glowed, and a huge green dragon flew out of a white light. Qinglong spit out a cloud of white clouds, caught me and Youyou, and brought us to the edge of the desert, Qinglong smeared a layer of truffle on our wounds, jumped into the air and said, "Kyushu, I am the Western Divine Beast Qinglong, and I was also a Taoist friend of Kunpeng. I hope you will practice poetry and sword as soon as possible, and then come back with Kunpeng to fight a decisive battle in Lop Nur, otherwise you will only be more auspicious in front of your fierce opponents. Remember, remember!"
After saying that, a white light disappeared, and Yoyo and I were healed after absorbing the truffle, and both of us were a little depressed.
"Master, what are we doing now?" Yoyo flicked his tail with a blank expression.
"Lop Nur is not going back now, let's go to the ancient city of Loulan to find the mysterious book of the Shixian Sword. This is the secret to practicing the unity of poetry and sword. I said confidently.
"Okay, hurry up and get on my back. ”
We flew over the desert again and flew to Loulan, where the ancient city of Loulan was dilapidated and deserted, and a few shriveled poplar trees roared in the wind.
"Brother Fish, run, run! zombies are here again!"
"Master, it's a mirage, it's an illusion, we're safe now. Saying that, Yoyo covered me with a fish fin and lay down, after a gust of wind and sand, I dusted off the sand all over my body, Yoyo shook my body a few times, and we walked in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Life has never felt so small, in the vast desert, zombies and mirages have made me, a former proud son of the sky, helpless, I suddenly realized the urgency of learning spells early. So every morning and dusk, in the morning dew and sunset, there is a figure of me practicing bold mantras and graceful mantras, which also makes Yoyo feel very gratified.
Before we knew it, we found the two tomb robbers at the inn, lying in a pool of blood, covered in scars, with signs of burn all over their bodies, as if they had been struck by lightning, their breath was weak, and their lives were dying. The two of them smiled when they saw us coming to the rescue, and a big man with a beard on his face said, "Brother, run, there are wind demons, thunder demons, zombies, there is nothing, there is nothing...... and his voice became lower and lower, and finally he died.
"Yo-yo, I think we're a step too late. It's better to listen to this benevolent brother, and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. As I spoke, I climbed onto the back of the fish with trepidations.
As we were about to fly away from the northwest, we witnessed a war in which tens of thousands of horses were trapped in a hurricane, stumbling and trampling each other in the sand, and a hundred thousand volts of lightning struck the army above their heads. It was like a pot of closed lamb that made me tremble.
Yoyo said angrily, "Master, these atrocities are all done by wind demons and thunderbolts. One day, we will destroy the wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and eliminate the evil forces of witches and immortals. ”
"yes. The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. I will definitely destroy these black smoke miasma and return the world to a good man!" I said as I thought: The army in the sea of fire on the ground is probably the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army of the King of the Poetry Kingdom, and General Zhu is probably more auspicious.
Just as we were about to fly away from the northwest, a white light of rain struck me and Yoyo. We all passed out in a coma, and when we woke up, we found that the surroundings had changed. The walls were painted with "The Working People Are the Most Glorious!", "Do It Yourself, Have Plenty of Food and Clothing!" People are twisting Yangge, singing about the new era and the new sun, and I inquired carefully, and it turned out that I was back in 1987. Is this a time travel? I'm back in the future.
