The strange smell that should not be carried in the cold wind that blows in this season, no matter how much you refuse to admit it, is really bloody. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nan Hong stood straight on the inkstone city wall full of traces of time, facing the outside of the immortal city, his eyes crossed the sunken road that must be seen every day, and rarely drifted into the distance.

It's really not a lovely place like that. As far as the eye can see, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and there is no greenery to be found, only Xiao Se is killed.

Nan Hong didn't like this kind of scenery either, but for some reason, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the yellow sand that couldn't be seen at a glance was inexplicably revealing some lovely taste.

Ma Gan stood not far behind Nan Hong, his face was anxious and nervous, and the expression of being at a loss was very obvious, and it could even be said that as long as someone took a look, they could immediately guess that this person was already extremely scared.

Yes, Ma Qian didn't care at all that others could see the fear in his heart. Or it can be said that he didn't understand why Nan Hong didn't react at all after he almost stammered and told Nan Hong what happened in the city.

Thinking of this, the news that had caused him to immediately tense up as reported by his subordinates before echoed in his ears again: "The three major families of Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger have all made a fighting posture, and their arsenals have all been opened. Even the Xuanwu family, which is usually detached from the world, behaves extremely abnormally today. ”

I still remember Ma Gan's performance when he heard the news. In fact, when he heard the word 'battle', he was already in a state of despair, and even he didn't know why he asked "Xuanwu Mansion, where is the abnormality?"

"Xuanwu Mansion, except for the patriarch, is out of the nest, and his whereabouts are secret, and I don't know why. These were the young soldier's exact words, and Ma Gan remembered them clearly.

The impatience has reached the point where it is impossible to express in words, even though he knows Nan Hong's temperament very well, Ma Gan still can't help but pace back and forth slightly. As he did so, his mouth, which trembled in panic, opened and closed, as if he couldn't help but repeat his previous words.

After struggling for a while, Ma Gan seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and said, "General Nan....."

Who knows, just three words came out, and Nan Hong, who had not reacted at all, suddenly raised a slightly thin palm and signaled Ma Gan not to make a sound.

Seeing the situation, Ma Gan immediately closed his lips and waited for Nan Hong's instructions.

In fact, things had developed to such a point that Ma Gan no longer needed to ask Nan Hong for any instructions, he could have packed his bags and returned to his familiar and unfamiliar home after receiving instructions from the Holy Palace, just like a few young soldiers.

However, the strange thing is that he never thought of leaving, and after a long period of persistence, unconsciously, the dark city wall that he hated was occupying his life little by little, until he became all.

Ma Gan couldn't imagine what else he could do if he left here and returned home.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little relieved, "What is there besides owning this city wall, which has never married me all my life? In this case, what is the use of being afraid, and what is the point of avoiding and panicking?"

Nan Hong slowly retracted his gaze, sighed softly, and the moment he spoke, Ma Gan swore that what he saw had turned into substance. I saw Nan Hong beckoning to him and motioning for Ma Gan to stand side by side with him.

When Ma Gan stepped forward to stand still, Nan Hong immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the yellow sand in the distance, and said, "Do you hear the trembling sound there?"

When Ma Gan heard this, his face immediately showed a look of confusion, but he had always been straightforward, and he still replied honestly, "I didn't hear it." ”

"If you listen carefully, you can already feel the trembling of the yellow sand. ”

Ma Qian pricked up his ears for some reason, and for a while, he still couldn't hear anything, he couldn't feel anything, so he decided not to continue to work on this issue. "General Nan, did you hear what I just said?"

Nan Hong smiled faintly, nodded lightly, and said, "I heard it." ”

"Then what do you think, are all the rumors of the past few days true? Our city is really going to start a battle?" Ma Gan saw Nan Hong's calm demeanor, and hurriedly asked impatiently.

"Do you know what Shuang'er came to me for?" Nan Hong didn't answer, anyway, he asked again.

However, when Ma Gan heard this, he was already able to guess a rough idea, "General Nan, you mean...... That's what she's talking about?"

In the entire team guarding the city wall, Ma Gan knew Nan Hong the most and knew the contradictions that his family had. Therefore, he has always tried his best to avoid mentioning Nanshuang's name.

But now, he can't care too much, he just hopes to get a definitive answer as soon as possible. After all, the news brought by Nanshuang, who married into the White Tiger Mansion and became a young grandmother, will definitely not go wrong.

Speaking of which, it is really strange that human beings are creatures, and the more important the event, the more accustomed they are to self-evasive refusal to accept it, as if they try to treat it as a dream in such a way of not admitting it.

At this moment, Ma Gan is like this, the so-called no wind and no waves, he already knew when he first received the news of the coming of the big war, this must be the real thing that will happen, not that he can casually refuse, not admit it, and treat it as a situation that will not happen.

However, for some reason, he still retained a trace of luck in his heart, although he knew that it was impossible to get a negative answer from anyone, he still hoped that such a miracle would come this time.

Come to think of it, isn't this the pathetic of human nature.

Hearing this, Nan Hong nodded, expressing his affirmation, "Shuang'er hopes that I can get out this morning and save this old life." Saying that, Nan Hong smiled awkwardly, "You may not believe it, the first time I saw Shuang'er this morning, I already guessed what she was going to say." ”

Ma Gan shook his head, saying that it was to ease the atmosphere, or for something else, "I believe, after all, father and daughter are connected." ”

Nan Hong didn't seem to hear it, and didn't say anything about such words. "After Frost left, I thought for a long time, no matter whether this city will die or not, it will not end in the hands of the four great families. In front of the Holy Palace, they who exist like ants do not have the ability to make the royal family give up this city. ”

Regarding these words, Ma Gan was noncommittal. He quickly drew in his mind the scene of the four major families joining forces to fight against the Holy Palace, which he was not very familiar with. For some reason, Ma Gan felt that the four major families should have a great chance of success.

In the silence, Nan Honghu stared sideways at Ma Gan's face that had been through vicissitudes, such a performance, as if Ma Gan's inner thoughts just now had been heard by him a lot.

Nan Hong didn't care about Ma Gan's inner thoughts, and then said, "Everything has a cause and must have an effect, since this catastrophe in the Immortal City is unavoidable, it must have been planned for decades, or even hundreds of years. ”

Hearing this, Ma Gan finally understood why Nan Hong had been staring at the yellow sand outside the city before, "General Nan, do you mean that the inside should be combined with the outside?"

Nan Hong nodded in agreement, but for some reason, when he gave this answer, a fleeting and inexplicable smile appeared on his face, "Although it is invisible to the naked eye, I always feel that the yellow sand has trembled." ”

Hearing this, Ma Gan hurriedly stepped forward and stared ahead with wide eyes, hoping to see a trace of turbulence, but the entire endless yellow sand land was still as usual, except for the desolate taste, there was no abnormality.

"General Nan, could it be that you are thinking too much?" asked Ma Gan suspiciously.

Nan Hong smiled and shook his head, "Ma Gan, you have to understand that many times, many things, not only have to be seen with your eyes, but also felt with your heart. ”

"Intentions?" Ma Gan showed a confused look on his face, "General Nan, I'm just a rough person, you said such profound words, I didn't understand." ”

Nan Hong turned his head, stared at Ma Gan, and then said jokingly, "At this point, Shuang'er is much more powerful than you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"That girl Shuang'er, although she can't forget her mother's death, it is not the root cause of the breakdown of our father-daughter relationship, the main reason should be that I have chosen a different path from her. This time, Nan Hong didn't wait for Ma Gan's question, and continued to say to himself, "Shuang'er has been a very smart girl since she was a child, and many times I think she is not like my daughter, but like my teacher. In front of her, I always look inexplicably humble, which should be a good thing, but in a city like ours, a city that has been peaceful for thousands of years, a girl like Shuang'er, with such a woman who should not have a mind, will one day bring disaster. Therefore, a long time ago, long before her mother died, I had begun to distance myself from her, consciously or unconsciously, and I thought that this method would be able to see more or less pain, but ....."

Nanhong sighed and paused. Ma Gan, who heard this, didn't say much because he wasn't very familiar with Nanshuang, but he secretly thought to himself in his heart: I didn't expect General Nan to comment on his daughter like this.

Nan Hong shook his head helplessly, "Shuang'er, that girl, is too rational in doing things, as if she is not a person, all survival actions are supported by logic, just take this morning." ”

"She doesn't know that I will never steal my life, and I will definitely be the people in the city, and the people in the city will die. But she still came, all because of her rational decision, and she was trying to build the framework of life little by little. ”

Ma Gan smiled awkwardly, although he knew that he shouldn't say what he said next, he couldn't help but say it, "General Nan, maybe you think too much, Shuang'er should just want to care about you." ”

Hearing these words, Nan Hong's face smiled even more, and he was about to speak again, when his ears suddenly moved slightly, and a weak but inaudible sound that could violently provoke his nerves came into his ears, causing him to turn his head sharply to look at the place where the sound came from.

Ma Gan saw the fusion of Nan Hong's face, and hurriedly followed his line of sight, only to see:

Since the end of that bloody war, on the sinking road that has not changed for more than a thousand years, the dense towering trees have shown signs of recovery. The original yellow and dull bark of the tree is revealing the taste of life little by little under the noses of Nan Hong and the others.

What is more striking than the change in the bark is that the branches that cannot be fully captured by the eyes can only be seen, but they are springing up at a very alarming speed, like mushrooms after a rain, revealing the green leaves like stars.

The sound received by both ears has escalated from sizzling to squeaking, it seems that those big trees have a soul in an instant, and they are comfortably stretching their bodies that have been tired for thousands of years, and with that stretching posture, I saw their torsos, first one after another, and after a while, they had the momentum of going hand in hand, and they all caught up, and kept heading towards the sky.

In an instant, this space seemed to be quiet, only the stretch of life and the sound of Nan Hong's heartbeat remained.

However, if such a strange thing happened and had already taken away all of Nan Hong's attention, then what was going to happen next was a sign that Nan Hong had finally reached his psychological endurance.

Along with the rapidly spreading giant tree came the countless bones that had been buried under the tree at an unknown depth.

They defiantly met Ma Gan's already round eyes that were about to drip blood, one after another, one after another, first staggering, then gradually orderly, and finally with the continuous clicking sound of one after another, a whole army of orderly bones appeared.

The bones stood still, and on the palms of their fleshless hands, a murder weapon that symbolized death was clenched, and the appearance made people have to think that there would be another earth-shattering battle related to life and death.

The scorching sun was interesting, and the sun hit the skeleton army without hesitation, and the crazy recovery and growth of the towering trees finally showed signs of stopping, as if they were standing for the skeletons to stand again, and obediently acting as a foil.

The scene of countless bones standing still was already terrifying in Ma Gan's opinion.

However, just when the scene he thought was shocked and made him not believe that he really saw it finally came to an end, an extremely provocative voice sounded.

Tens of thousands of bones turned around in unison with the sound, and in the empty eye sockets, there seemed to be countless lines of sight, like bows and arrows, shooting straight towards the walls of the immortal city.

Seeing this, Ma Gan couldn't bear it anymore, because of fear, and because of fear, he almost retreated several steps backwards, until there was no way to retreat. Unfortunately, it was only his feet that stopped, and his trembling body could no longer be suppressed.

Looking at Nan Hong again, as calm as him, he couldn't help but take three steps back before he stopped!

"Nan, General Nan, this ..... this is really happening!"

Nanhong nodded numbly, "Really, it really happened!"
