This is a deep valley on the outskirts of the 100,000 Mountains, and it used to be a large bandit colony. When he arrived at the time of his predecessor Wu Mu, he was recruited, and the valley called Lookout Valley was run by the Xiliang Army as an outpost. And now, he is the number one wanted force in the Kyushu Wu Dynasty, the base of the Fuxing Society.

From the mouth of the valley, there is a high point of the platform. It was repaired a few years ago, but unfortunately it hasn't been used yet. Around the valley is a circle of houses, and then there is a huge playground, if this is also a playground. If he could, Ma Rulong would rather call this place a mass grave.

It's not because there's a lot of bones, it's not because it's dirty. On the contrary, it was clean and empty, except that a group of soldiers who were comparable to dead corpses were neatly arranged here, or rebels. The face was expressionless, murderous, the eyes were red, and the whole air was filled with the smell of blood.

Wu Qi, Yang Zongbao and Ma Rulong are like this when they come here. The empty playground was divided into nine sections, each with a battalion of men practicing in pairs. That's it, and when the three of them entered the valley, they didn't cast the slightest gaze at them. What's even more terrifying is that the weapons used by these people to train are all real swords and guns, and they even use all their strength, as if the person opposite has a deep hatred for themselves.

Everyone is like this, fighting with their lives, relying only on their own instincts to dodge the blow that hits them, and then return the color with an even more ferocious blow. All of them were naked, with scars on their bodies. There was no human voice in the Cao field, only the sound of weapons brushing against the flesh could be heard.

Ma Rulong felt as if it had become difficult for him to breathe, and the smell of blood in his nose made him feel deep fear. Just looking at it makes me afraid to touch it.

Subsequently, the three of them met two people, one person and one ghost, to be exact. Wen Shouzhi and his dumb servant Huang Lao Liu. It was the ten fingers that had two broken thumbs, a corner of the left earlobe was missing, the scar extended to the corner of the left eye, and the left eye was dull and obviously blind.

But fortunately, Wen Shouzhi and his dumb servant Huang Lao Liu, Wu Qi and the three of them know each other, so they can be regarded as familiar. Otherwise, Ma Rulong would definitely think that he had come to the training camp of the Netherworld Mansion.

"I've seen Elder Wen. Ma Rulong very respectfully stepped forward to bow to Wen Liang lying on the bed, basically as long as the Confucian students who have read the basic Confucian classics do not know Wen Xiang, because after the last civilization was separated, basically all Confucian classics have been translated by Wen Xiang, which also created an important position of Wen Xiang in Confucianism. If he hadn't left Beijing and disappeared without authorization, his position as the third duke in the court would be indispensable now.

"You see it. Wen Liang's voice was a little weak, and it was beyond his own to be able to hold on to the land of Xiliang for so long.

"Well, if you're talking about people who don't know if they're alive or dead, we'll see it as soon as we come in. Seeing that Wu Qi didn't answer, Ma Rulong hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Their souls are dead. Wen Liang asserted directly, and then explained, "I've been here for half a year, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to change anything. ”

"I stopped Chunfeng's several requests, do you know why?" Wen Liang looked at Wu Qi's green ghost mask and said, he knew a lot of things, but there were many things that he was difficult to change.

Wu Qi still didn't speak, just as indifferent as the pair of eyes he just revealed, his mask shook lightly, indicating that he didn't understand and didn't want to understand.

"It seems that you have made up your mind to cut off the chains around their necks and put them in Kyushu. Wen Yu's face became even more sad, he still couldn't change this, but he at least hoped that he could at least change the hope of the former Wu Dynasty in front of him a little bit.

"Do you know why there were bandits in this place called Lookout Valley? There were no pedestrians passing by, and there were no rich merchants around for them to rob, but they were happy to gather here, and they did not want to leave. Do you know why?" Wen Liang didn't get an answer from anyone, only Ma Rulong's puzzled eyes.

"Because this is the closest place to the cannibals of the 100,000 mountains. Cannibals, cannibals, as the name suggests, feed on people, and those bandits are like warriors guarding the frontier who refuse to leave a single step, and they do not accept Zhao'an, naturally there is what they want, and that thing is naturally the third eyeball that grows on the forehead of the cannibal after becoming an adult. ”

"After adulthood?" Ma Rulong grasped this key point.

Wen Liang ignored him, gasped a few times, and continued to tell his story.

"Wende told me that when he first arrived in Xiliang City, the first thing he did with his troops was to first recruit all the people in this Lookout Valley. It's not because of the so-called political achievements, nor because they want to make meritorious contributions to these bandits. Just because of one thing in my memory again. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Liang paused again, and tried to open his eyes to see that although the three young people in front of him did not show any interest, they were a little less serious.

"As I got older, I started to talk a lot. It was first told by Wende as a drunken story, a story that made him angry. Roughly when he was on a study tour, he came to the 100,000 mountains, although he didn't tell me what the purpose of the study tour was, but I guess it had a lot to do with his later change of abandoning literature and martial arts. ”

"By the time Wende arrived at the 100,000 Great Mountain, there were already a huge number of bandits gathered here in this lookout valley, hunting adult cannibals in a group to obtain their third eye, a bloody thing comparable to a thousand-year-old pearl in the South China Sea. It has even formed an industrial chain, hunting, cleaning, collecting, and selling. ”

"For my kindred, their hearts will be different. With such thoughts, Wende didn't have much of a plan when he saw such a hunting situation, and even had some happy thoughts in his heart, knowing that one day he met a cannibal, and at that time he was just a weak scholar, not Wu Mu, who was the first in the world in martial arts cultivation in your eyes later. ”

"It's useless to be a scholar, and that's what I'm talking about. But fortunately, this is just an underage cannibal, the third eye has not grown, and the strength is naturally not enough. But at this moment, someone came. ”

"Because the Kyushu people came at the same time, and the clothes are obviously from the Lookout Valley. Wende didn't pay attention, and this cannibal didn't even have a third eye, so there was no murder and looting. ”

Still, Wende was stopped, and by the bandit in a particularly strange tone. ”

"Well, scholar, what are you doing?" said the thief as he stopped Wende and let the underage cannibal escape. ”

"What are you doing! Do you know how dare you let a cannibal go?" Wende retorted. Who knew that the thief said with a natural face, nonsense, not only did he know that he was a cannibal, but he also knew that he was the kind that didn't have eyes yet. Didn't you see its face marked by our Lookout Valley?"

"What do you mean?" Wende asked rhetorically. Of course he knew what this bandit meant, this cannibal was stocked in Lookout Valley. He didn't understand why Lookout Valley would do such a thing to raise tigers. ”

"What do you mean? You're still a scholar, and you don't even know how to maximize profits. The thief sneered, and then said something that made Wende creepy away. ”

"Now this cute little cannibal cannibal can't be killed. Its third eye hasn't grown yet, so how can it do it? Naturally, he can't do it until he reaches adulthood and has that beautiful bead on his head. Isn't it a tyrannical thing to do now?"

With that, the bandit was gone. And Wende finally understood why there were many fat slaves in the Lookout Valley in addition to bandits and merchants. Or rather, those are not efforts, but the amount of food prepared for underage cannibals. ”

"Cannibals don't have a long growth cycle, and if they are raised with human flesh, they can have an adult body in as little as two years and grow the third eye on their foreheads, which is regarded as a treasure. ”

Therefore, when Wende came to Xiliang later, the first thing he did was to incorporate all the people in Lookout Valley. And those people never did such a thing again, and although some of those people died in the years of war on the border, the rest are now in this lookout valley. Wen Liang said this most important thing, as if he had used up most of his strength, gasping for breath and coughing there, obviously the story he had told before had taken a lot of effort.

"Are you saying that those bandits who were kept in captivity eventually became the most loyal of the Renaissance Army?" exclaimed Ma Rulong.

Wen Liang looked at Wu Qi, who had not spoken, without saying a word.

"People's hearts can change, but I can't go back. Wu Qi's voice was as cold as iron, confused, and frustrated.

"Although I can't see clearly with my old eyes and hear clearly with my ears, I can still smell you, unlike them. After Wen Liang finished saying this general word of advice, he waved his hand to let Wu Qi and the three of them leave.

As he said, although its old eyes can't see clearly, its ears can't hear clearly, but it can still smell some smells, such as the smell of the Fuxing Society, the smell of Wu Qi's body, and the smell of the waning mountains on his own body.

It's just a pity that I didn't see that child, he is really young with so many things on his back.

After Wen Liang persisted on the Xiliang border for a long time and saw Wu Qi for the last time, the last backbone of Confucianism in the Wu Dynasty was broken.
