The air condensed, the wind stopped, and the two walked without saying a word. Hua Youyou couldn't find a new topic, so he could only accompany him silently, Jiang Wangchen, who was impacted by the picture, was no longer interested, and he no longer couldn't wait to find a new mural, but he didn't go long, and another complete mural appeared in front of him.

The composition and tone of the mural have not changed much from the previous one. The man with the crown still warmly embraced the blood sun, and the wizard still danced with a hideous expression, but the bottom of the vessel was no longer black to indicate nothingness, but a thick and vivid blood red, which should have been made of special materials, shining in the light of candlelight, as if flowing. There were also groups of people lined up in a regular row, but at this time all the circles were piled up in a haphazard manner, while the other pile was a gathering of intricate lines. And the bloody remnant sun was swallowed up by the darkness, and the rest of the red was also dim.

Rao is a person who doesn't know how to paint like Hua Youyou can clearly see through the meaning of this mural, not to mention Jiang Wangchen, who is obsessed with the mural, has already been shocked by the bloody scene expressed in the mural, Jiang Wangchen said with a stunned face: "What kind of witchcraft is this, so miserable, it is actually sacrificed with the blood of a living person." ”

Hua Youyou's heart was cold, there really was such a terrible spell in the world, and then stared at the mural closely, there was a vague impression of déjà vu, which appeared intermittently in his mind, and muttered to himself, "Sacrifice the day with blood, sacrifice the day with blood." A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly opened his mind and said, "Is this the legendary 'Raccoon Blood Turbidity Day' in the ancient country?"

Jiang Wangchen was greatly puzzled, and asked in surprise: "What ancient country?

Hua Youyou raised her head slightly, looked at her distantly, and slowly explained: "That's what I read in the fragment scroll that I inadvertently obtained, which records a mysterious ancient country, they have a strong class division, from the highest imperial power, to the nobility, to the lowest pariahs and slaves, divided into ten classes. Only the shamans of the ancient kingdom were independent of the class, they knew many laws of heaven and earth, and they used them to divinate good fortune and pray for blessings and rain. According to the description in the book, this is a strange technique that defies heaven and earth, chaotic law, is to use fresh blood as a medium, borrow 3,000 karmic obstacles to cover the sun, and then take one ten-thousandth of the sun and moon to scorch, turn into a continuous and endless life, impose the number of lives on people, so that they can shine with the sun and the moon, and live with the mountains and rivers. ”

After Hua Youyou finished explaining, she exclaimed again and again: "At that time, I thought that most of the fragments that recorded anecdotes were just nonsense, and I didn't want to meet them again in this Yongdao mural today, it seems that there really is such a spell in this world that changes your life." ”

"It's not a change of life against the sky, it's just an exchange for using the lives of the people in the world. Jiang Wangchen's disgust was overflowing, and he said indignantly: "Even if you get eternal life, you can't bear it for heaven and earth, and you will be scolded by the common people." ”

Hua Youyou said: "Let's go! Those have become history, and it is better to continue to move forward and find an exit first." ”

The discussion between the two about the mural stalled here, and they continued along the road. The deeper and darker the road, the wisps of candlelight are broken, against the wind, the surging anger is not weak and fierce, the two look at each other, their eyes are full of doubts and worries, Jiang Wangchen took one more step forward, and said worriedly: "It's better to let me take the lead as a warrior, if there is any accident, I can resist it with thick skin and thick flesh." ”

Hua Youyou's eyes were full of warmth, looking at Jiang Wangchen's stiff smile, and also smiled, he didn't say anything more, and silently followed behind Jiang Wangchen.

If the first picture of the whole mural brought the two people a breathtaking shock, and the second one struck the heart with fear, then at the corner of the corridor, the third one appeared in a cloud of confusion.

The dull turbidity had completely eroded the entire sun, leaving only a dark red outline on its outermost part. Without the light of the sun, the heavens and the earth are colorless. The stone towers were crumbling and shattered, and the golden crown was shattered in half and scattered around the king, and the king, who had previously enthusiastically embraced the turbid sun, also fell from the unattainable tower, and fell to the ground, like a mess of mud, lifeless. Looking at the altar again, the seven vessels were still full of blood, but the wizard in the middle of the vessel was nowhere to be seen, leaving only an irregular circle like green smoke. Jiang Wangchen's gaze wandered across the entire mural, and finally locked on this wisp of green smoke. If there is a depression in his heart, he said bitterly: "I don't know why, it stands to reason that this ruined ending is also in line with my expectations, but seeing that this wizard only has a wisp of ghost left in the end, my heart is inexplicably sentimental." Jiang Wangchen only felt that he could be relieved a little when he confided these strange thoughts without reservation, and continued: "It seems that there are thousands of threads pulling, connecting a kind of relationship, and I can't tell what kind of relationship this is." ”

Hua Youyou listened to Jiang Wangchen's inexplicable words, slightly surprised, and didn't know where to start, only looked at Jiang Wangchen secretly from the corner of his eye, but he didn't understand anything from his indifferent expression, and said: "This kind of mysterious feeling is generally a fleeting illusion in a specific time and specific environment," Hua Youyou said, seeing that Jiang Wangchen was still sunk in the mural and did not respond, he shook his shoulder with his hand, and continued: "You don't have to think about it, this is just a mural, for now, it is better to find the exit of Yongdao first." ”

Jiang Wangchen was pulled back to his senses by Hua Youyou, only to feel that this mural had a mysterious power, and this power had a far greater impact on him than Hua Youyou, and wanted to think deeply about why this was so, but he was afraid of falling again, so he hurriedly turned around and left, leaving the confusion behind for the time being.

The two of them continued to move forward together, not lonely, in the depths of the road is a pair of backs that are gradually drifting away, behind the backs, only the candle flame that has burned for centuries is left. The candle flame is not lonely, and the thick and vivid mural has also accompanied it to burn for countless years, only the ghost in the mural is like a wisp of green smoke, and I don't know how many years I will wander after this, until that ambition falls into disrepair.

The border city in early spring, shrouded in a cloud, the hazy drizzle that began to fall last night, has no intention of stopping at noon today, the playground outside the military command was trampled by the military boots that hurriedly shuttled through a piece of mud, until the border city lord He Tianyong walked out of the military command, standing in the corridor, the noise in the playground gradually stopped, leaving only the sound of rain, interrupted from the air, and fell on the young face.

He Cong, the deputy instructor of the military command, stood at the head of the team and practiced the formation of the border city guards, according to the usual, this task should be in charge of the captain Xing Kai, but today there is the deputy instructor He Cong who is in charge of daily chores, and all the soldiers looked at each other, all with a puzzled face.

After He Cong sorted out the formation, He Tianyong cleared his throat and said in his deep and penetrating voice: "Don't you think it's strange, why is it not the torture captain training team today, but Instructor He." ”

In response to He Tianyong's words, there was another whisper and discussion in the playground, but it quickly and fruitlessly restored calm.

He Tianyong continued: "The day before yesterday, Captain Xinghao led the elite team of the border city into Dongdushan to carry out a mission, and was suddenly attacked by the demon clan. ”

As soon as He Tianyong's heavy news came out, it suddenly exploded on the playground.

"How is it possible, two days ago, the captain of the torture team led everyone to practice, and secretly instructed me to march the long fist, why did he suddenly die today?"

"The captain promised me that he would personally lead me to the front. He said that only after truly going through life and death can he become a real soldier, how can he be, how can he break the appointment like this. A young soldier grumbled in a choked voice.

"Did I hear it wrong just now, the whole army was wiped out, the elite team was invincible in a hundred battles, how could it be possible to be wiped out in one battle, I must have heard it wrong!"

"It's a demon beast, is the demon beast going to make a comeback again, what should I do, the elite team can't resist, what should we do!"

He Tianyong raised his hand and signaled the soldiers to be quiet. The sound of rain was silently reading the grief in the hearts of the soldiers, and the boy's tears were still hot in the rain.

"I know that everyone must be very sad in their hearts, why shouldn't I, the elite team of the border city was carefully cultivated by me, and now it is completely wiped out overnight, which not only destroys my He Tianyong's half-life hard work, but also is an incomparable loss for the people of the border city. He Tianyong was heartbroken, and couldn't help but drop his palm on the horns of the cloister, and the horns of the rosewood were instantly cut off, but he quickly suppressed the grief in his heart and said impassionedly: "However, we can't just be depressed like this, behind us is not only the people of the border city, but also the entire people of the Dongxuan Continent." Now that the demon beasts are approaching, we should take over the banner of the elite team, inherit their legacy, protect the Dongxuan Continent, and swear to resist the invasion of the demon clan, my soldiers, are you right......"

The soldiers turned their grief into strength and shouted in unison: "Protect Dongxuan and resist the demon clan." ”

He Tianyong understands that as long as the army's spirit is not dispersed, the elite team can be rebuilt even if it is destroyed. He still maintained an indignant look on his face, and said, "From tomorrow, we will re-establish the Border City Elite Guard, and the established Border City Elite Guard will be led by Deputy Captain Cao." That's all for today's drill, everyone should go back and prepare for tomorrow's screening and disband!"

Soon the crowd had cleared, and there was a new mud on the playground. He Tianyong and He Cong of the Military Command Office didn't know what they were arguing about, only the sound of the spring rain slapping the dirt still came clearly in their ears.
