Chapter 12 Seeing Death as Suddenly Home
"I have used all three strategies to retreat from the enemy, which was very effective in ancient times, why didn't the demon army eat this set?" Bai Qianyu frowned and thought hard, and suddenly clapped his hands: "I understand......! Oh no, General!"
She twisted her eyebrows: "It doesn't matter who he is, I must have a way to defeat him!"
"Life-saving benefactor girl," Yun Qi stepped forward with two purple potatoes in his hand and gave her one: "This is today's dinner, for you!"
Bai Qianyu took it and took a bite absentmindedly.
"Why is it so bitter?"
Yun Qi hurriedly snatched the purple potato from her hand: "Why did you even eat the skin?" and handed her the peeled purple potato in his hand: "Take it." ”
Bai Qianyu took two bites and frowned: "Is this all for dinner?"
Yun Qi smiled embarrassedly: "You can find this in the valley, the life-saving benefactor girl will eat it! ”
He licked his lips and seemed to be immersed in the fond memories.
"But," Yun Qi lowered his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back!"
"What nonsense!" Bai Qianyu picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it at him: "Isn't this still me?"
"You?" Yun Qi smiled noncommittally: "Even our highest illusion lord can't do anything, what can you do if you are a weak mortal girl?"
"Call me Bai Qianyu!" Bai Qianyu held the purple potato and smiled at him: "The white of the white clouds, the light of the light color, the gift." ”
The wind from the canyon blew her hair up.
The girl's smile was particularly bright and moving under the dark war clouds.
Yunqi was stunned.
"Bai Qianyu ......," he muttered, chewing on the name in his mouth.
"There is a famous poet Qu Zi in our human race, who wrote a poem called "Lisao", and your name is in it. Bai Qianyu stood up and chanted on the wall: "Driving the grace of the eight dragons, carrying the cloud flag of the snake; suppressing the will and the festival, the spirit of the galloping Miao; playing nine songs and dancing Shaoxi, chatting about holidays to have fun; ”
Yun Qi unconsciously showed a smile on his face, and when he laughed, the resolute lines on his face turned soft, as if the steel was turned into a soft finger, which was extremely good-looking.
"Although I am a rough person and can't understand the poems read by the white girl, I can feel that the poem is really beautiful. He said.
"I'll teach you!" Bai Qianyu jumped off the wall and explained to him word by word: "The eight lines of the poem are that the eight dragons driving are meandering forward, carrying the banner of Yunni and curling with the wind, and settle down to move forward slowly, and the thoughts fly uncontrollably into the distance, people are playing nine songs and dancing, taking advantage of the good time to have fun, the sun rises brightly, and suddenly I see the hometown I miss......"
Yun Qi could hear it: "I suddenly saw the hometown I missed......" He raised his finger and pointed to the southwest: "White girl, look, the distance under the white clouds is my hometown, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, life is harmonious and beautiful, spring and autumn, summer rain and winter snow, you can hear the girl's song and the child's laughter all year round. ”
Arched his hand: "Thank you, White Girl!"
Bai Qianyu said curiously: "Thank me for what?"
Yun Qi grinned: "Thank you for teaching me poetry! You not only saved my life, but also taught me poetry, you are really, really ......" He scratched his head, as if trying to find a sentence of praise: "What an Alancha!"
"Alancha?" Bai Qianyu didn't understand.
Yun Qi said: "'Alancha' is our hometown dialect, which means, a beautiful girl like jade!"
His face was imperceptibly red.
Bai Qianyu smiled: "We Terran, there are still many beautiful verses!"
Yunqi suddenly lowered his eyebrows, turned around, looked at the smoke and iron armor of the battle flag peak on the opposite hillside, and said: "That white girl, you can teach me another poem, it must be very masculine and impassioned, okay?"
Bai Qianyu also followed his gaze and blurted out: "Abandon the edge of the blade, and take your life safely?
Yunqi's eyes lit up: "White girl, you read it again!"
Bai Qianyu picked up a dead branch from the ground, read it while writing, and when he finished writing, he pointed to the words on the ground and explained: "The meaning of this poem is that since we are committed to the cause of shedding blood, how can we value the safety of our lives? Sacrifice our lives for the country, go to the battlefield with blood, and win the freedom and glory of victory!"
Yun Qi listened, was silent for a while, and his face gradually became serious.
Suddenly, he jumped on the wall and pointed to the opposite side: "I am the first warrior of the Phantom Clan, the cloud flag, the banner like clouds, I will take the warriors of my clan, I will not be afraid of you!"
After speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of arrogance in his chest, and laughed.
jumped off the wall and bowed deeply to Bai Qianyu: "White girl, thank you for teaching Yunqi two lines of poetry." ”
Bai Qianyu smiled: "Then when this battle is over, I'll teach you the third poem, okay?"
"Okay! That's it, it's an agreement between the two of us!" Yun Qi raised his hand and high-fived her in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Both of them laughed, as if they had put life and death behind them.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
The wind is getting stronger in the canyon.
In the night, the mountain wall on both sides stands thousands of thousands, like a knife splitting and axe, standing head-on, a deep valley below, the mountain is high and the valley is deep, the cliff is deep, it seems more precipitous.
Cliffs are broken and deep valleys are crisscrossed, and purple-gray tabular rocks are scattered all over the mountain walls.
Looking down from above, at the narrow valley mouth, a huge layer of ice condensed three zhang thick and more than ten zhang high, completely freezing the purple-gray volcanic rock on the mountain walls on both sides.
The huge frozen gate shone with an icy blue glow in the night, and it was this ice gate built by the combined efforts of a dozen illusionists in the clan that kept the demon army out.
Bai Qianyu leaned on the wooden guardrail, cautiously looked down, and said, "How long can this ice gate last?"
The wind in the air at a height of dozens of feet blew her hair into a hunt.
"Two days. Yunqi said loudly.
Bai Qianyu frowned: "So urgent?"
"Two days is the limit," Yun Qi's face was solemn: "If we can't think of a way at that time, we can only fight to the death with the enemy outside!"
"And," he continued, "even if the news can be released through the flying kite, it is impossible for the nearest Phantom Clan army to arrive within two days, and everyone in the clan is ready for a bloody battle," he lowered his head and muttered, "Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home!"
"No, I have another way," Bai Qianyu said, his face did not ease in the slightest: "But that is the last way!"
"What's the method?" asked Yun Qi.
Bai Qianyu didn't answer, just raised his head, stared at Yunqi's face, and said word by word: "Take me to see your person who fell from the sky, immediately!"
"However, he hasn't woken up yet, and the illusionists in the clan are working together to heal ......" Yun Qi was a little embarrassed.
"If he is the Heavenly God General Wei Xiao, we still have a chance to live...... Bai Qianyu grabbed the placket of Yunqi's chest: "You take me there now, you can't delay a minute!"
"Okay!" Although she didn't know who Wei Xiao was the god general in her mouth, Yun Qi had an inexplicable trust in the Terran girl in front of her, and led her down the ladder of the fortifications to a valley.
As soon as I reached the valley, even the sound of the wind became different from the outside, whining and hovering low in the sky.
This valley is called Huifeng Valley, because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the wind blows in from the outside, so it cannot get out, and can only hover low in the valley and get its name.
Bai Qianyu stood at the bottom of the valley, only to see the weeds under his feet were blown by the wind, looking back at the place, but seeing the twin peaks on both sides, the more to that side, the narrower the valley, to the mouth of the valley, the high mountain walls on both sides stand a thousand blades, proudly facing the sky, such as double dragons standing opposite each other, only allowing one person and one horse to pass through in the middle, forming a canyon mouth.
When approaching the canyon, there is obviously a strange momentum, the canyon suddenly narrows here, looking at the clouds and cliffs in the valley from afar, it is more profound and unfathomable, the cliffs and sharp peaks of up to a thousand feet rise head-on, it seems that the canyon is interrupted, there is no way forward, the scene is desolate.
"Sure enough, it deserves to be called 'Longmen Gorge'," Bai Qianyu frowned and whispered: "Like a dragon gate, locking the throat is the only way out of here." ”
My heart grew heavier.
Several tents were pitched in the valley and bonfires were lit.
Yunqi led her to a tent and stopped: "White girl, it's here, please go in!"
Bai Qianyu's heart suddenly jumped violently!
- Whether she can return to the real world alive and safely depends on whether this person lying in it is Wei Xiao or not.
She folded her hands and prayed silently in her heart, then took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and strode inside.
