Chapter 8: Life and Death (Part II)

The people found three simple wooden carts in the town that had not been damaged, carried the wounded, and pulled them to the Ten Kings Temple.

Halfway through, the withered leaf Zen master suddenly exclaimed, "Madam, ma'am......! Why can't you think about it?!"

It turned out that the Zhu family was defiled by thieves, and although he was rescued, he had no shame to live in the world, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of others and committed suicide by biting his tongue.

When Wang Yuting heard this, his hands and feet were sore, and he helped Zhu to his side and picked her up from the car, stunned and depressed.

He suddenly regretted it at this time, and after breaking the thief, he didn't take the initiative to say a word to her.

Zhu's death is too true. If it weren't for her own guilt and color, why would she be forced to go to a dead end?

Wang Zhiwen didn't know why Zhu couldn't bear to seek death alone, lying on the edge of the car, sobbing and sobbing in a low voice: "Mother...... Mother!" The cry touched the wound, and the pain was so painful that he fainted again.

The withered leaf Zen master explained: "There is no joy in life, and there is no sorrow in death." This body was destroyed and fell into the six realms of reincarnation. Today's death is the life of its day. It is said that death is also life, and life is also death. The poor monk recited the sutra for her, so that she could get out of the sea of suffering and be reborn in the world of bliss. ”

Wang Yuting didn't hear it, put Zhu's body back into the wooden car, and said in a hoarse voice: "The hatred of killing his wife is not shared." You can go with confidence, I will definitely punish the evil cult and avenge you in this life!"

The withered leaf Zen master sighed and recited softly: "If there are people in the future life, who are short of food and clothing, who are obedient, who are sick, or who are devastating, who are restless, whose families are scattered, or who are all kinds of troubles, who are often resentful, and who are afraid in their sleep. If you are a person, you can hear the name of the place, see the shape of the place, be respectful, and read it ten thousand times, it is all unsatisfactory things, and gradually disappear, that is, you will be happy, and you will have abundant food and clothing. Even in sleep, everything is happy. ”

Yun Tianjia saw that the withered leaf Zen master had recited the scriptures a few times, and the sad color on his face had disappeared for the most part, as if from the inside out, he was faintly emitting a warm light, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

The group returned to the Ten Kings Temple to rest.

Yun Tianjia ordered Luo Erniang and Gong Luoluo to cook gruel, and let Wang Yuting and Zen Master Withered Leaves eat it with dry food. He took Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe, and Luo Erniang's eight entourages to dig several large pits at the entrance of the town, moved the corpses in the town to the pits, and buried them together.

For the sake of respect, Wang Yuting's nephew and concubine separately set up separate tombs.

Wang Yuting and the others ate, their wheezing calmed down a little, their strength recovered, and they also came to help.

The crowd was busy until the second half of the night, when thousands of corpses were barely disposed of.

After the withered leaf monk returned to the temple to inspect the wounded, he went to the joint burial pit to overkill the dead.

Yun Tianjia asked Wang Yuting about the origin of the withered leaf Zen master, but he didn't know it very clearly, saying that it was a few days ago that Huangxi Town was attacked and defeated and retreated to the stone house, and he met halfway.

Early the next morning, Yun Tianjia planned to divide everyone into two groups, one group on horseback and galloped to the aid of Hanyuan County, and one group on the back of the car to take care of the wounded with peace of mind.

The first group of people strive to be lean and able to break through the enemy's defense like an arrow;

The latter group of people must be stable and able to protect their own safety like a bunker.

However, there are so many people, all of them are assigned to the front, so the wounded will not be able to take care of them thoroughly, and if they are all assigned to the back, the ability to attack the fortification may not be enough.

After thinking about it for a while, Yun Tianjia set his eyes on the eight entourages who came with him on this trip.

These eight entourages are not soldiers in the army, but "business assistants" carefully selected by Luo Erniang from the men under him.

All of them are soul masters of the second order or above, not only are they diligent and self-disciplined, they are good at management, and they also have a very good foundation.

There is no choice but to divide them equally.

Soon, the personnel were divided.

The group of people in front of them includes Yun Tianjia, Gong Luoluo, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Luo Erniang, Zhang Changjian, Zhang Changyu, Hong Liang, and Luo Erniang's entourage Ge Zheng, Ge Yi, Sheng Jiong, Ding Shuo, a total of eleven people.

The latter group of people included Zhong Dinghe, Wang Yuting, Zen Master Withered Leaves, as well as Wang Yuting's three subordinates, Luo Erniang's four entourage, and ten wounded.

The reason why Zhong Dinghe was left behind and not put in the front team was because he was afraid that they would be attacked again.

Zhong Dinghe is good at defense, Wang Yuting has rich experience in facing the enemy, plus Luo Erniang's four entourages and Wang Yuting's three subordinates, everyone cooperates with each other, and I believe that it should be easy to deal with more than 100 thieves.

The withered leaf Zen master met them in Pingshui, and there was no need to get involved in the war.

Yun Tianjia asked him where he was going, and the withered leaf Zen master replied: "The world is in chaos, and the big guys are scrambling to move their families to avoid disasters. In the villages of the southern states, ten rooms and nine empty rooms, old and young, women and children go hand in hand, and there is no food and clothing. I'm an old monk, I'm afraid I can't find a place to turn my fate. If you blindly walk around, you will inevitably become a starving ghost on the side of the road.

Therefore, Lord Fu begged the captain to take him in and serve under the account. From now on, no matter how big or small the affairs are, they will be diligent and conscientious, loyal to their duties, and do not seek merit, but seek to drink, so as to save their crippled bodies and all their lives. ”

The implication is that he actually followed Yun Tianjia.

Yun Tianjia saw that he had a pious attitude, and that he was also a fifth-order intermediate wood attribute soul master, and he was also a medical master, so he had one more and one more strength, so he naturally had no objection.

As for what he said about being afraid of starving to death, it was just a pretext, and he didn't bother to pursue it.

Although the Tuhao Empire was in turmoil, the situation was far from deteriorating to the point where even a fifth-order soul master would starve to death.

When she set off, Luo Erniang suddenly mentioned something, saying that yesterday under the ginkgo tree, she saw a young woman in black coming to the stream to drink water, looking like Lucia, she wanted to go up to say hello and get to know her, but the woman was very vigilant, filled with water bladders, and turned around and left without saying a word.

Yun Tianjia said: "That's Lu Xia's sister Lu Zhongyuan. Do you see which way she's going?"

Luo Erniang raised her hand and pointed to a small road in the northwest and said, "Go that way." ”

Yun Tianjia looked into the distance and pondered: "That is the direction leading to the Xiang River." The Xiang River is an important line of defense for the southern bandits to the north, and the Zhaoyao Army, the Zhiwei Army, and the Government Army set up cards along the river, garrisoning tens of thousands of soldiers, and the masters are like clouds, and the guards are tight. If she was going to assassinate any general, it would be difficult for her to get out of the way. People won't let her go like I did. On the contrary, I was a little worried about her.

Yun Tianjia and his entourage worked non-stop, starry night, and finally arrived at the ten-mile pavilion outside the north gate of Hanyuan County at noon the next day. Yun Tianjia jumped on the top of the pavilion, but when he saw the smoke and dust in front of him, he felt bad in his heart.

After walking for half a mile, I saw that the houses on the side of the road were falling and collapsing, and the charred ashes were continuous, and there were scattered corpses with blurred faces and inhuman shapes scattered in them from time to time.

Some of the corpses emitted black smoke and a choking stench.

Yun Tianjia slapped his horse and galloped wildly, but his heart sank, knowing that most of the Hanyuan County City was not guaranteed.

Eleven one-horned black-hoofed horses ran for two days and one night in a row, so tired that they foamed at the mouth and neighed, but they seemed to sense the anxious mood of their master, and they flew like flying, and launched the final sprint, and the speed did not slow down at all, ten miles away, in a moment.

Six hundred meters away from Chengguan, Yun Tianjia suddenly heard the faint cry of a baby, hurriedly reined in the horse's reins, and swept it with a mental probe, and found that there was a baby more than a year old under a half-collapsed masonry house on the left hand side, which was whimpering. Hurriedly turned over and dismounted, climbed over the brick ruins, crossed the wooden beam remnant wall, and observed closely.

Gong Luoluo, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Luo Erniang followed closely behind.

When everyone saw the scene in the house, they were all shocked.

Luo Erniang even screamed and covered her mouth.
