Chapter Twenty-Three: The Headless Giant 2

Liu Baishun said: "Legend has it that this headless general has a reason......

At that time, the state of Chu and the state of Sui had a contradiction because of the expansion of each other's territory, and at first they restrained each other, unwilling to intensify the contradictions, because of the insatiable greed of human nature, they gradually caused contradictory conflicts, blamed each other, and did not give in to each other, resulting in mutual resentment between the two countries, and then contradictions, mutual hatred, to the point of irreconcilability.

In this valley, the two ** teams lined up in a formation to fight, suddenly the flag was unfurled, the whole valley was filled with the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of Jin Ge's fighting, the two armies fighting, soldier to soldier, general to general, fighting together, a moment of effort, only to kill the smoke and dust, the sun and the moon are not shining, the corpses are all over the field, the blood is flowing, and it is miserable. It's true: the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, so tragic and terrifying. The soldiers worked hard for the king, and ended up throwing their corpses to the underworld.

When the two armies were in a stalemate in the battle, it was difficult to decide the victory or defeat, a general of the Chu State could see clearly on the mountain, this general only had a leopard's head and eyes, tiger eyebrows and beard, eight feet tall, three horizontal arms, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, extraordinary bearing, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, majestic, murderous, like a god in the lower realm, Marshal Wen was in battle, in order to be able to stabilize the position, cheer for the soldiers of Chu who were killing in battle, snatched the drum hammer from the hands of the drummer, beat the drum and shouted: "Kill - rush...... Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the whole valley buzzed and echoed, and in an instant dark clouds were thick, and heavy rain was coming.

The warring soldiers of the two armies looked up, there was a general of Chu standing on the mountain, so tall, like a giant beating the war drum, "dong ......" that dense as raindrops of the war drums of the march, set off the fighting spirit of the Chu army, all of them were enthusiastic, the spirit was hundredfold, like a tiger down the mountain, a dragon out of the water, desperately shouted and rushed forward, some lost their arms, or ran forward vigorously, some turned around and didn't know, holding weapons to kill...... It is precisely the beating of drums that increases the courage of the people, and the soldiers bravely come forward. If you don't fight for fame and leave it for future generations, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return home.

The soldiers of the army saw that the Chu army was urging the battle with its drums, and all the soldiers bravely took the lead, taking one as ten, ten as hundreds, and charging without their lives, only killing the soldiers and soldiers of the army with fear, everyone was frightened, lost their fighting spirit, and did not dare to fight hard again.

The commander of the army saw clearly on another hill, and was busy ordering his drum general to increase the drum, in order to strengthen the army's prestige, urging his army not to retreat, to counterattack, how could his war drums never suppress the war drums of the Chu army, often drowned out by the drums of the Chu generals and the momentum of the Chu army, no matter how hard he beat the drums to urge the battle, it was nothing to do, seeing that the soldiers of the army were dissipated and were in defeat.

At this time, the first general stepped forward and saluted and said that the marshal did not need to panic, and the last general was willing to take the head of the drummer of the Chu army to offer it to the marshal. After speaking, he ran to the front of the formation with a sword in hand, using the method of shifting the shadow and phantom to take off, and flew with his toes on the human head, fast as a tanuki, as fast as lightning, a figure jumped straight up the mountain, and instantly came to the front of the drumming Chu general, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, holding the sword and slashing the head of the drum Chu general, poof, blood and light, Chu rolled the human head to the ground.

The general quickly picked up the head of Chu Jiang on the spot and turned back, and dedicated Chu Jiang's head to the marshal for inspection. The marshal was overjoyed, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the drumming of the Chu army was even more violent, and he did not stop the drumming because the drum general was killed, and he was suspicious in his heart, staring into the distance, and saw that although the general of the Chu army beating the drum and urging the war on the opposite hill had no head, the dead body did not fall, and the pride was soaring, and the momentum was undiminished. The marshal was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the head of the Chu general, only to see that the head of the man raised his eyebrows, pointed up angrily, and jumped up at him with his teeth bared, so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he ran away.

People don't go without heads, birds don't fly without heads, and when the marshal runs, the generals don't have the fighting spirit, so they flee with the rout, and even the general who beats the drum and supervises the battle also drops the drum and the hammer and fles. The army couldn't hear the drums of the urging formation, looked back, and found that the rear camp was in chaos, thinking that the Chu army had cut off the back road, and the sneak attack was successful.

The defeat of the army was like a mountain, and the army was defeated. The soldiers of the Chu army pursued the victory, like the wind and clouds, only to kill the army to lose their armor, lose their souls, flee in embarrassment, the wind is loud, the grass and trees are soldiers, countless casualties are countless, miserable, the battle ended with the victory of the Chu army. The Chu army successfully cleaned up the battlefield, but never found the head of the general of the Chu State, so he had to bury his headless body in a coffin.

Liu Baishun said: "The legend of the headless general is like this, I didn't expect it to appear here, blocking our way, it is said that the headless general more than two thousand years ago, even if the body can be preserved without decay until now, has been scattered, how can he sit up? Could it be that the headless general in the crystal coffin has become a zongzi to intimidate us? Is it because we were really dazzled by the shock at that time?"

Liu Changsheng said: "Whether it is a ghost or a zongzi, no matter what, we can't give up halfway, stop here, often say that evil does not prevail over the right, whether it is a monster or a monster, a zongzi is a demon, a savage or a beast, we have to find a way to pass." If it offends me, I will also offend it, and I will fight to the death with it, and it is a big deal to throw all my blood here. ”

Zheng Ming said: "I heard the old man say that if you encounter any yin qi ghosts in the mountains and forests, in order to protect yourself, you can use your hands to beat your nose and bleed, because ghosts and demons are most afraid of blood staining its body, and I heard that it is most afraid of black dog blood......

Liu Baishun said: "Since you two are not afraid, what am I afraid of? Because I have a gun in my hand, if it dares to come to me, I will shoot it with a gun—let's go and see if there is still the headless man in the crystal coffin." ”

The three of them came to the same place again, and with the help of the faint light, they saw that the headless corpse was still lying in the crystal coffin, motionless, and there was no sign of resurrection, they looked at each other, and said in their hearts, could it really be that they were dazzled by insanity? Liu Changsheng went out and decided to walk past him quietly, trying not to alarm it, so as not to cause trouble and cause trouble, and by the way, peek at what the headless general was like. When he took the lead and cautiously approached the crystal coffin, Liu Baishun suddenly pulled him to the ground and pointed forward to the crystal coffin.

Liu Changsheng lay on the ground, and also saw the headless person in the crystal coffin moving, and gradually sat up again, stretched out his hands, slowly moved the coffin lid on it, and heard the sound of sighing. Zheng Ming was nervous and whispered in Liu Changsheng's ear: "That headless man is going to come out of the coffin, I'm afraid it's not good for us, what should we do?"

Liu Baishun held a gun and said, "Let's shoot." ”

Liu Changsheng stopped him and said: "You can't shoot unless you have to...... you can't shoot" because he and Zheng Ming were in the deep valley of the northeast, and they had learned the vampire's tricks, and the more they fought, the more they fought, if it weren't for the rescue of Kong Xiujuan in the past, I am afraid that he would have been devoured by the vampire, besides, he had also personally experienced those strange and incomprehensible things. It is said that he was walking at home at night, and once saw a lively and cute little white rabbit jumping on the side of the road, with long ears and red eyes, very pleasant, so he wanted to catch it and take it home to feed, but he didn't expect to pick up more and more, one became two, and two became four...... As a result, one was not caught, when I wanted to catch it, I felt that my eyes were black, my legs were weak, and I couldn't see anything, so I went home and said to the old man, and the old man said that it was an illusion of the earth, and there was nothing, as long as I didn't hit it, I would be fine, and if I hit it, it would cause trouble. He was afraid that if Bai Shun shot it, the headless corpse would turn into countless headless ghosts, which would be even more difficult to deal with.

The headless ghost removed the lid of the coffin, and crawled out slowly, stretching his waist, good fellow, his body was stretched more than nine feet high, what a headless giant, in the dim light, standing beside the crystal coffin like a plague god, it was so eerie and terrifying. Thanks to the fact that they are together, cheering each other up and comforting each other, if one person encounters such a thing, he may be scared to death. They lay there, not daring to come out, holding their breath and watching the headless giant's movements.

The headless giant seemed to have spotted them, and gradually approached them, and with each step forward, there was a "thump" of footsteps, so heavy that their hearts sank violently, and they felt suffocated and breathless. Although the headless giant made heavy footsteps, it stopped for a moment with each step, as if sensing the movement around them, shaking its body and making a swishing sound, so frightened that they lay there and did not dare to move.

Liu Baishun watched the scene, couldn't care so much, and didn't want to let the headless giant get closer, so he held a gun and shot the headless giant's chest, and with a "bang", the headless giant stumbled, and a hole was punched in the chest, like a deflated ball, and it was flattened. But the headless giant did not fall, as if he had been shot by a gun, and did not know what to do for a while, probably because he had no head, and did not find out where the shot came from.

The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, Liu Changsheng took this opportunity to pull Zheng Ming to the ground, shouting and rushing towards the headless giant, and put on a posture of dying with him. The headless giant seemed to see the two of them, turned around and fled frantically, although he had no head, but he ran as fast as a headed. It is often said that good dogs can't catch up with fearful dogs, no matter how they catch up, they just can't catch up. In a few moments, the headless giant fled without a trace.

Liu Changsheng felt even more strange, such a headless giant, like a behemoth, looking eerie and terrifying, with a fierce momentum, how could he not have the arrogance and magic of the vampire, so vulnerable, could there be anything strange and inconsequential in this?
