Chapter 51: Shanhaiguan!
Shanhaiguan, it's here!
The road ahead, a Hengchen mountain range, I don't know how many miles long, like a real dragon lying across the earth, from north to south, stretching endlessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The mountains are majestic, the mountains are bare, covered with gravel, and in front of the four masters and apprentices, a majestic pass stands proudly.
Xiongguan is magnificent, up to thousands of zhang, filled with star remains, reinforced with green gold, you can see, on the vast and endless mountains, the ancient city wall flashes with cold luster, it is very bright, that is the light of the formation.
Together with the formation, the attack power is unparalleled in the world, and it can also have defense at the same time, which is the supreme avenue of wind, moon, big and land.
Under Xiongguan, there is an ancient city, which is so huge that it looks like a prehistoric beast, crawling and vast, and every breath can stir up the world.
The body of the ancient city rises from the ground, the bluestone wall is cold, there are generals wearing gold and jade armor, with cold light knives on their waists, and there are ancient war spears that swallow and kill machines, which makes people feel broken.
The King of the Eastern Wilderness, according to legend, is the descendant bloodline of the Emperor of Fengyue and the High God Killing Emperor, and has been inseparable from the Central Empire since ancient times.
Since ancient times, there have been many frictions between the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Empire, and there have been many years of war, and the smoke is everywhere, and there is only the battle of Shanhaiguan four years ago, which is the first major defeat of the empire in the confrontation between the two countries.
"Who's coming!!" On top of the ancient city, there was a war general, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were bright, looking at the four masters and apprentices in the distance and shouting.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Jiang Yu'er, came from Mount Meru, the holy land of Buddhism, and traveled to Fengyue, these are my disciples!" Jiang Yu'er clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the generals on the city wall.
"Hahaha!" The general suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and the laughter was hearty, like a bell, shocking.
"Lord Lan Ying has an order, if you encounter the four masters and apprentices of the Tribulation, you will first lock them up in the dungeon and hone them for a few days!"
"Come on, take it for me!" In the low cheers of the generals, the gate of Shanhai City opened, and a team of iron horsemen rushed out of the city, bringing up billowing smoke and dust, and surrounded the four masters and apprentices.
These are one of the eight god generals, Lan Ying's command of the 'Xuan' character generals, all of them are burly and tall, the gold and jade armor is shining, they come on a fierce horse, the leader is holding a flag, the flag is facing the wind, hunting sounds, the word 'Xuan' is written on it, and the momentum is extremely magnificent.
"Qingqing, what should we do?" Jiang Yu'er was so frightened that his face turned the color of pig liver.
"It's okay, master, they're coming for me, just don't resist!" A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xue Yueqing's mouth, it seems that Shanhaiguan is not easy to come out.
At that moment, the iron cavalry roared like thunder, roaring, and the four masters and apprentices did not resist, and were pressed into Shanhai City by the generals.
Inside Shanhai City, there is no cave, the military camp here is everywhere, on the training ground, the soldiers are shirtless, naked hand-to-hand, all kinds of shouts are endless, making people feel a breath of iron and blood.
The so-called dungeon is under the Shanhai Xiongguan in the depths of Shanhai City.
The majestic mountains here have been dug out one after another big holes, and Jiang Yu'er, Liu Huai'er, and Ji are weak and are locked in a hole; And Xue Yueqing was escorted by the generals and came to a real dungeon.
Descending a staircase, Xue Yueqing was finally pushed into a dark dungeon by the general.
The iron door of the dungeon was made of pure gold, and it was still overflowing with the light of the formation, and Xue Yueqing understood that if no one came to release him, then he could only stay here for the rest of his life.
The demon fox has night vision eyes, and Xue Yueqing is going around the dungeon to take a closer look.
Here, there was mud everywhere, emitting a strong foul smell, Xue Yueqing's slender sword eyebrows frowned, and he smelled a strong smell of rotting corpses from this breath.
"If I'm not mistaken, this place used to be a burial pit!" Xue Yueqing muttered, but there was a slight doubt in his heart, five years ago, when he was guarding Shanhaiguan, he had inspected the Xiongguan Pass of Shanhai City, and he had also come to this underground cave and cave, which was obviously extremely dry, and it was a place for the generals to store food, how could it suddenly become like this?
He couldn't understand it!
Suddenly, Xue Yueqing's expression was grim, and he came to the bottom of the stone wall of the cave, only to find that this stone wall was actually engraved with dense small characters.
"I, even if I die, I will not regret it!"
"Hate, hate, hate, kill, kill, kill, the empire is uneven, I am restless, although I die in this life, I will fight again in the next life!"
"When can I return to my homeland?"
"My compatriots, if possible, bring my bones back to my homeland, I miss the wind of my homeland, the clouds of my homeland, and the wet and moist soil of my homeland!"
"I voluntarily fell into purgatory, suffered a thousand calamities, I only hope that God will protect my country, and future generations can enjoy peace!"
"May the empire be prosperous and prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no more disputes in the world!"
Under the stone wall, Xue Yueqing also saw a poem!
"The corpse mountain is full of white bones, and the ancient city of ten thousand deaths has not surrendered; Message to passers-by to cover their noses, the living are not as fragrant as the four! ”
I don't know when, after reading the inscription on the stone wall, Xue Yueqing realized that the cold sweat had already wet the moon-white robe.
"Want to know what's going on with those engravings?" At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, making Xue Yueqing's expression abrupt and suddenly turn around.
I saw that outside the iron gate of the underground cave and cave, a woman wearing a light blue battle armor stood proudly.
The woman is tall, covered in battle armor, and has a slender knife at her waist.
She has a fair complexion, superb facial features, melon seed face, sword eyebrows and eyes, if she is placed in the imperial city, she can definitely be ranked among the eight peers of Qin Huai.
The most unique thing is her pair of red eyes, which are not the jet black of the people of the empire, but a little bit of blue, like the purest sky over the grassland.
With blue eyes and straight sword eyebrows, this woman is sharp, amazing, and has a famous general demeanor that swings for thousands of miles and bows down to everyone.
"Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, I've seen Lord Lan Ying!" Xue Yueqing clenched her fists, bent over the woman, and bowed sincerely.
This woman is the top of the eight gods of the Lan Ying god general, commanding the 'Xuan' character generals, twenty years of wind and frost, guarding the northern territory of the empire Yumen Pass, with the body of a daughter, to deter a generation of heroes of the Northern Liang King, within 20 years of standing still, its famous general demeanor, resounding through the wind, moon, big land.
Five years ago, the Shanhai Pass was broken, and the thirteen 'golden plates' of the Central Emperor recalled Lan Ying from Yumen Pass; he led 100,000 'Xuan' generals to Jiayu Pass, and joined forces with 100,000 generals of Hanxiaotian's 'Yu' character to fight a bloody battle with the imperial iron cavalry and conquer the 100,000 plains, without giving up an inch of land.
If it weren't for Lan Ying and the two great gods of Hanxiaotian, Jiayu Pass would have been broken, and the 200,000 troops of the imperial dynasty would have been flat all the way to this point, and within a month, they would have been able to attack the imperial city.
It can be said that in the bloody war four years ago, Lan Ying Shenjiang made great contributions!
"Four years ago, the year-long 'Rebellion of Mountains and Seas' was quelled by Princess Ye Qianxun's marriage!"
"At that time, I was ordered to settle in Shanhaiguan, and in this dungeon, I found 10,000 bones!" Lan Ying's crisp and cold voice made Xue Yueqing's expression dazed, and she thought of something.
"These 10,000 generals, after losing their commander, still refuse to surrender; They were driven into this dungeon by the Imperial Iron Horsemen, and they used it as a battlefield to hunt down the enemies who entered! ”
"However, the Eastern Wilderness Emperor Taiji ordered the waterway magician to perform the waterway technique on this dungeon, flooding the dungeon for seven days and seven nights!"
"Ten thousand generals, all wounded, none of them came out to surrender, and in the end, they left their last words on this stone wall and left with hatred!"
Lan Ying's words, in the end, were already vaguely murderous!
And Xue Yueqing, looking at the inscriptions on these stone walls, it turned out to be the last words of the group of generals.
One word is a pure heart!
This loyalty to the empire and to the people of the empire makes them live ordinarily and die heroically!
"Later, I led my subordinates to personally dig out the corpses of the dead generals from the mud and bury them hastily under the Shanhai Pass!"
"For them, dying in battle is the most joyful thing!"
"Shanhaiguan is their final destination!"
Lan Ying sighed wistfully, as a descendant, commanding 100,000 generals, but the moment she saw that scene, she was as strong as her, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What do you mean by telling me this?" Xue Yueqing smiled bitterly.
"Ten thousand one hundred and nine generals, their tombstones, we have erected, but we have sent a person who personally helped them carve their epitaphs!"
"I've been waiting for three years, and I'm finally waiting for you to come!"
In the underground prison, there was silence for a while, Xue Yueqing had a deep pain on her face, Lan Ying looked at her coldly, but did not speak again.
"After the engraving, you let the four of my master and apprentice go out!" Xue Yueqing put forward conditions.
"Yes!" Lan Ying nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you let me out, I'll grant you this request!"
"No, it's not my request, five years ago, they were your soldiers, you were their general, this is what you should do!"
Lan Ying's rebuttal silenced Xue Yueqing again!
The sun is thin, thousands of miles of red land, and the sky is full of gravel.
In the red sun, under the Shanhai Pass, one side after another wordless tombstones are lined up, lonely graves are everywhere, the north wind roars, and it is like a sonorous war song.
"Here's the list!" Lan Ying handed over a thick roster to Xue Yueqing.
Looking at the roster in his hand, Xue Yueqing suddenly felt that this thing weighed as much as tens of millions of catties, pressing his chest cavity dull and breathing rapidly.
Taking out a knife, Xue Yueqing began to engrave words on the tombstone in order.
"The tomb of the eight god generals, the general Xue Yue is clear!"
"The tomb of the eight gods and generals, the snow moon of the generals!"
"Tomb of the Eight Divine Generals ,,,,!"
Under the sunset like gold and blood, Xue Yueqing carved words in front of her, and Lan Ying dipped her brush in scarlet blood ink to color the lettering.
This is a huge project, but Xue Yueqing has done it without regrets.
With a pilgrimage heart, he carefully carved the name of every soldier who died in the dungeon.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night, and 10,000 tombstones were inscribed one by one.
"For them, the battlefield is the ultimate destination!" Lan Ying took Xue Yueqing and came to Xiongguan.
The bright moon is like snow, and the east of Shanhaiguan is the territory of the Eastern Wilderness.
"Do you want to know, what was the reason five years ago, did the emperor send you to guard the Shanhaiguan?"
Lan Ying's words shocked Xue Yueqing's heart!
