Chapter 8 The Night Road of Life and Death
The night came in anticipation, and everything in my eyes was painted with gray layer by layer, slowly melting into black. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe ground is cold and the grass is chaotic, the wind is high and the stars and the moon are dark, and the sky and the earth are gradually becoming hideous.
But these, for the current cloud tree, could not be better.
"God help me, let's go!"
At this moment, his eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit and hope brilliance, and immediately, Yun Shu poked his arm out.
After a few breaths, Qing Ling stood on the top of the slope, tilted his head and watched the grunt roll down the hill, and then crawled towards the grass mass in the west......
After a while, she lowered her hand into her waist, and the color of her mask and leather armor magically changed at the same time, turning gray and black.
In the blink of an eye, the green spirit seemed to merge into the night, and it was impossible to see it clearly in the zhang. By the time she put on dark gloves for her white hands, there would be no flaws.
After doing this, Qing Ling took a step and walked down the mountain lightly and skillfully.
......
A sudden heartache spread from his fingers all over his body. Yun Shu gritted his teeth tightly, slowly withdrew the hand that had been on a stone, quietly let out two breaths on his trembling fingers, and then put his hands together and crawled forward.
He had to be so careful because this was the tuyere.
Since Dongzhou has sealed the entire West Mountain, how can such an important place be ignored at the junction of Dongzhou, Xingjun and the Northern Wilderness. This open area, covered with grass and rocks, is a must for people who come and go from all over the world. The winds of thousands of years have polished all the mountains and cliffs within a hundred miles to the left and right of the wind mouth to be extremely smooth, and ordinary people can't get around it at all, which is extremely difficult for cultivators. Moreover, if someone shoots a crossbow arrow from a high place during the climb, it is hard to imagine that the person who crosses the mountain will face a tragic end.
This place was mentioned by Qin Linchuan to several apprentices many times. The wind outlet is loose and tight, the three tigers and the wolves secretly look at each other, caused by the terrain, there is no passage of cars and horses here, once there is a battle, it must be a death fight between the warriors of the three parties and the cultivators of the rivers and lakes. Although in the daytime, the boundary of the Great Wind Mouth is deserted, and there is no half of it, but presumably people from all walks of life have long been lurking around. Those who dare to pass here are outlaws with extraordinary means. Asking himself, Yun Shu still felt that he had not reached the level of so-called extraordinary and deadly......
The sound of the wind drowning out the sound of crushing the dead grass and crushing the stones gave him a little more security, but when the grass bent down, the broken tip was very prickly, and the rubble protruding from the ground was extremely uncomfortable. As he crawled, Yun Shu also tried to take his attention away from these annoying feelings, and after thinking about it, a lot of bits and pieces of thoughts popped up in his heart.
For example, if you are crawling, you will bump into a person, or if a red jackal jumps out and takes a bite on your neck......
In addition, there may be a formation set up by the warlock in this place. Thinking of being shot into a sieve by random arrows or charred by flames at a certain moment, I still feel a little stunned in my heart......
The Warlock's formation must have been hard to identify, especially in the dark. Moreover, even if he knew where it was, Yunshu knew that he couldn't crack it. Because he is not the material of cultivation, he can't use his mental power to explore the outside world.
Mental power is different from Yuan Qi, it is a little more ethereal, and it cannot be embodied with martial arts. Cultivators of cultivation will not be like cultivating their minds, before reaching the heavenly realm, they can walk out of their mental power, and can only subconsciously generate a little mental power in their bodies when they are fighting, which is used to stimulate vitality.
But even if there are many unknown risks, there is no reason to retreat, everything you want is in front, and behind is a barrenness.
But...... In addition to these, Yunshu also had a feeling at this time:
In the dark, it seems that someone is staring at this self who is shrinking in the grass and crawling forward little by little, with an idiotic look......
A foot away, Qing Ling, who was walking slowly with his hands behind his back, stood on his feet, and then nodded silently.
Time seems to be long and slow, and it is stretched longer and slower. I don't know how long I stayed in the dark, but at this moment, a loud shout suddenly erupted from the field:
"What kind of person?!!
......
The heart suddenly stopped, the blood rushed to the head, the coolness poured into the pores in an instant, all the hairs stood up, and the muscles of the whole body tensed. Yun Shu clenched his fists and beat a drum in his chest.
was discovered...... How?!
Can't sit still, jump up, run!
...... Run!
His heart suddenly turned horizontally, and as soon as Yun Shu's arm was strengthened, he wanted to get up and run.
But at this moment, only five feet away from him, there was a sound of grass blades turning, and a person had already jumped out in front of the cloud tree!
"Found!" the man yelled.
"Thank you, big brother, you are such a good person......" Yun Shu sighed as he was frightened, and muttered in his heart.
If you listen carefully, there are almost more than 100 people who have appeared around. The footsteps of hundreds of people appeared in an instant, dense and heavy. At the same moment, there was the sound of crossbow arrows, and the sound of breaking the air came continuously. In the darkness, the cold light reflected by the blade of the sheath could still be seen. After a brief commotion, and a dozen howls of pain, the scene fell silent again. Yun Shu could only choose to lie on the ground honestly first, and if he made a little more noise at this time, he would definitely die a miserable death.
At this time, the first person to show up shouted: "Zhang Ping guard, don't deceive people too much!"
A moment later, in the distance, another person spoke, "Listen to the voice, is it Luo Tianze?"
"It's me!" replied the exposed man, "I didn't expect you to be the one sitting here...... Jiang Wu, does Dongzhou really want to seal the big wind outlet? Not even a way to live for us?!"
"Didn't I give you a way to live? Dongzhou closed the mountain for three months, and I have clearly told you that the military order is like a mountain, and you will take risks. What's more, you are not very popular, and you still want to widen this smuggling road, is it true that my Dongzhou sergeants are all blind?" replied to the man known as Jiang Wu.
Luo Tianze sneered twice and said, "From Dongzhou to the Northern Wilderness, we carried this bit of salt and oil on our backs, day and night, for a month. Excluding expenses, there is not even a 30% profit, why can't we go wider!"
"You, all of you are cultivators! You are a good man, but you do the small things of horse thieves every day, have you never felt ashamed?" Jiang Wu shouted.
"Shame? What are we ashamed of? We don't rob houses, we don't block the road, and we sell what the people in the two places look forward to! You Dongzhou, a pound of official salt costs 80 wen, and if you buy it in the Northern Wilderness, you have to exchange it for sheepskin worth five times the price, why is this?!...... Could it be that because I am a cultivator, I must join your army? I have been practicing for 20 years, and just because of the order of your general, I will ride a horse and rush to die?
"Twelve years ago, since you and I met in the academy, we have argued about these matters countless times, and you have never been angry with power, and I have always felt that your vision is too narrow...... Now, I only ask you Luo Tianze, what are you trying to do after you have been in this barren mountain and wild mountain for ten years!" Jiang Wu said in a deep voice.
"What do I have to do? At least, I can be free!" Luo Tianze said.
"Freedom...... Heh, do you think this is freedom?" Jiang Wu's voice seemed to be closer.
"Of course it is!" Luo Tianze replied categorically.
"Then what you are facing is the price you need to pay for the so-called freedom you believe and your greed! You must know that now, the battle between Dongzhou and Xingjun has been fought...... And your team has walked into the Aono Plain, and we can't let any military information be revealed. ”
"Military intelligence?haha, I don't care, and I don't want to know what military information!"
Jiang Wu was quiet for a while, and then said slowly: "I've known you for so long, I can believe that most of you, you haven't touched those." I can also show favoritism and let your people go...... But you have to throw away half of the goods! With your money and men, you can't get that much salt. In the middle of the night, you dare to steal the big wind, how many ghosts are hidden in your heart? Luo Tianze, I advise you not to be too greedy...... You'd better be honest about where these goods come from. ”
"Jiang Wu! Accept your arrogant face! Greedy, haha, you say I'm greedy?!"
"It's called greed, is this greed, it's just because of our hard work, it's worth the money, it's worth the fuck! We don't want more!"
“...... Then I can only say sorry. In the distance, a little cyan light lit up, and Jiang Wu appeared and walked here.
"You can only choose one of your goods, and your 'freedom'. ”
Luo Tianze drew his knife and laughed wildly: "We want money, but we also want freedom!"
"I can close a blind eye to your smuggling, but you shouldn't cross our bottom line! Everything we do is for the sake of Dongzhou and the future of the world!" Jiang Wu raised his hand to the left and right as he shouted.
"Hahahaha, that future ......" Luo Tianze raised his knife and hissed: "I can't see it!"
......
The flickering sword shadows, the chaos and the roar full of anger and murderous aura, coupled with the sharp whistle sound that swept through it, suddenly disturbed the field. A few fireworks swished into the sky, the earth lit up, and Yun Shu hurriedly bent down and buried his head.
The horse thieves were a little stunned by the light, and there was a lot of panic in their shouts. Drinking and the sound of ironclad sound from all directions, more and more people came around. As soon as the fireworks went out, it was even more difficult for his eyes to see through the dark curtain, and in the noise, Luo Tianze made the loudest sound, and Yun Shu listened to him and the other people shouting intermittently, these horse thieves were about to fall into a siege.
A group of horseless horse thieves...... Yun Shu pursed his lips, exerted his hands and feet, and continued to crawl out.
On the tuyere, one by one, the people who were wielding their swords collided together. The roar and roar filled the space around him, and he couldn't stop burrowing into his ears and eyes, and his heart ached.
The qi and blood in the whole body are still flowing rapidly, but they don't bring much warmth. With a jumbled mess of thoughts, the cloud tree moved faster. For different reasons, the two parties who are swords facing each other and throwing blood, the will and the wrong in it, he can't figure it out, and he doesn't want to understand it.
Yunshu could feel the weight of the red cloud swaying slightly on his back, and it was constantly reminding him that you had a knife.
But what is the reason for fighting? When you get up and cross the sword, which side should you stand on?
Yun Shu couldn't think of an answer, so he could only increase his breath and increase his strength, trying to climb faster.
Behind, Qing Ling walked in the splashing sparks, and the fluffy light and shadow flashed, the color of her body changed with the light, and no one could still spot her.
Looking around, among the people who squeezed the sound of dying in their throats and fell to the ground, there were horse thieves and sergeants. The huge wind outlet, under the feet of the cultivators and warriors of the negative realm, has become a square inch of land.
And looking at the entire world above the world, all of them are tolerant of death and cannot be lived.
On the mask, I don't know when he showed a sad face, Qing Ling raised his arm, hugged his shoulders with trembling hands, and never looked around again, refocusing his eyes on the slowly moving grass ball in front of him, and followed suit.
......
The pain under his body was no longer felt, and this area was being crossed by him foot by foot. Keep going, keep going. When he suddenly realized that the shouts of killing were already behind, Yun Shu grabbed the stones under his hand, let out a muffled roar, violently propped up his arms, and rushed out of the covered grass.
It was still pitch black ahead, and he couldn't see, but he didn't lose any speed, and he continued to leap and leap, turning over the jumble of rocks and the forks of the road, and moving rapidly. At this moment, there seems to be too much indescribable sadness and anger in my heart. And all he can do is to keep himself running, keep going, keep going!
Until, to be able to leave behind those ugly, cruel, tragic and irreconcilable battles!
I don't know how long it has been, and time has once again scooped the world out of the darkness. Yunshu slowly stopped, hunched his waist, and looked around.
The dangerous mountains that were lying around the mouth of the wind were already squatting behind him. In front of him, there is an open wilderness that is gradually leveling, and the mountains that stretch for more than a dozen miles are new and with soft curves.
That place, it seems, came out.
Immediately, Yunshu took out the map, glanced at it a few more times, and then exhaled a long breath and lowered his head and arms.
After being quiet for a long time, he straightened up, patted off some of the broken grass and dust on his body, removed the burden and red clouds on his back, took out the black clump from it and draped it on his body, and then rehung various objects, rubbed a few heavy and painful parts of his body, and walked towards the southwest.
Out of the big tuyere, into the Zhongzhou Yangbei East Resort boundary.
From now on, there will be another stranger above Shenzhou.
