The fifty-fifth round, the night patrol
As the proverb goes: If you don't frown in your life, there should be no people in the world.
The extraterritorial demon soldiers were completely wiped out, and the Heavenly Palace was relieved of its worries, and the gods and goddesses from all walks of life celebrated each other, and resumed the comfortable life of singing about wine and stopping in the mountains and rivers. As the "protector god" of the Heavenly Palace, the fighting spirit and vigilance of the Tianhe troops cannot be relaxed for a moment, and at this point, Tianpeng has done a good job to make the Heavenly King especially relieved.
This is said to be Shuo, and it is the rotation period for the various functional departments of the Governor of Tianpeng to inspect the checkpoints and important parts. The iron-clad discipline of the Tianhe troops, from the marshal Tianpeng down, to all officers at or above the rank of general must personally lead the troops at night to inspect all the sentry posts and important parts of the army, and they must not be absent from each round! Tianpeng usually develops the habit of mingling with the officers and men and doing everything in a personal way; as the most important task in such a routine work as patrolling, he does not dare to take it lightly ideologically, and every time he organizes meticulously, every matter is too big or small, and he conducts thorough investigations, so as to be prepared for any trouble and prevent trouble before it happens. As the commander in the army, Tianpeng took the lead in setting an example, teaching by word and deed, and his generals did not dare to slack off, all of them were brave and competed for the first position. In fact, this is an extremely simple truth: the leaders take the lead, and the masses have the momentum; otherwise, the people's hearts will be discouraged and people will be superficial.
Stretching out his hand and not seeing his five fingers, there is no figure on the other side, the heavens and the earth are in extreme darkness, and there are golden cicadas, silver frogs, vermilion birds, and Xuanwu everywhere with their sad cries, complaining and helpless, cold and helpless. The aura of the night rolls in the air, extending infinitely, gradually weaving into a great web that cannot be seen or touched, but which actually exists, and everything that is in heaven and earth is incorporated into its network without hesitation. Everywhere the eye can see, except for the shady curtain or the shady curtain, every grass and tree, every mountain and water, there is no such reality and reality as under the sun and moonlight, they are all ruthlessly shrouded in the black network, facing the surging and ruthless night of anger, in the painful struggle, in the painful lingering, in the painful silence, in the painful confession. Under the dark curtain, they are all dark and ethereal elves, each of which hides its true nature and keeps its own secrets, giving the world a dreamlike and difficult feeling.
A lieutenant general scratched his head and said: "Damn, it's so dark, it's almost like hell! Xu is Fairy Chang'e has left her post without permission, which cave will she go to have a good time?"
Tianpeng "coughed" and stopped: "You have to take responsibility for talking nonsense and spreading rumors! Today, it is Shuo Shuo, the sun god and the heavenly palace and the fairy Chang'e are standing on the same front, although the light is endless, it is only blocked by the tight seams of the heavenly palace, and the fairy Chang'e is naturally powerless. This is the way of heaven, which cannot be changed by the power of immortals, and privately criticizing the words and deeds of immortals is against the rules of heaven!"
The adjutant general said: "Look at my stinky mouth, my heart is straightforward and fast, and I don't go through the brain filter when I speak, I just want to be happy and happy, there is no other malicious intention, and I invite Marshal Haihan!"
The fifth adjutant "spitted" on the side: "You have a stinky mouth, eat all over the corners, two rows of sharp teeth, chew all right and wrong, have made outstanding achievements in your life, and a stinky mouth has ruined a lifetime of fame, if it weren't for our Tianhe soldiers who are like brothers and know your face, you would have gone to hell to repent of your words and deeds!"
The adjutant general said to me: "Good brother, I have no intentions, big mistakes do not make small mistakes, you are a pro-three-point direction, fighting grievances for Fairy Chang'e, I understand it in my heart, I will definitely change my past mistakes and be a new person, just ask you to be merciful to the villain, don't send your brother directly from the heavenly palace to hell with a word!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
Tian Peng said: "Small things see big things, self-discipline is better than words, and jokes without factual basis are not allowed!"
Everyone stopped talking, and the sergeants lit lanterns, and under the guidance of the barracks chief officer, they routinely inspected the barracks, warehouses, stables, etc., lest they miss the details. But everywhere he went, the sentry posts were in order, and in the darkness the statues generally stood on the sentry posts, full of spirit and high morale, while the dark sentry was similar to the ghosts, haunting in various critical places, guarding the Tianhe troops like iron buckets. Even so, Tianpeng still does not dare to take it lightly, the dust of the Fengyuan incident has not fallen, and the mystery cloud is like a mountain pressing on his head, which cannot be driven away, and it cannot be solved.
All the way down, as always, safe and sound, and then go forward, it is the "Loyal Soul Garden" of the Tianhe Army, which is also the end of the previous inspections, everyone began to relax, and even talked and laughed, although the voice was very soft. As the head of the troops, he had too many things to consider, especially the several unbelievable facts that had happened recently, which remained in the depths of his mind like a nightmare, tormenting his emotional nerves all the time, making him extremely painful but helpless. The subordinates deliberately talked and laughed around him, he was still as cold as ice, not saying a word, looking preoccupied, everyone saw him for many times in a row, and there was nothing to be done about it, in fact, the tragedy of Fengyuan in the Tianhe army was no less than a collapse, the first time I heard the news, the soldiers were stupid, stunned, at a loss, and then beat their chests, crying earth-shattering. This is the burst of brotherly feelings for many years, and it is also the accusation and hatred of the unjust case makers. The road is uneven, everyone steps on it, after all, it will rise as usual every day!
As he was traveling, a very abrupt voice penetrated into the ear chamber of the canopy, faintly, intermittently, mourning, and grief, which made the canopy suddenly tense his nerves, and it seemed too abnormal for the "Loyal Soul Garden" to appear in the dead of night. He stopped, made a gesture behind him, signaled everyone to stop and silence, and listened carefully, and sure enough, the voice was much clearer, a suppressed cry. Canopy turned around and whispered, "Did you hear anything?"
Everyone was inexplicable, looking at each other, there was still some distance from the "Loyal Soul Garden", and the cultivation of the subordinates was 108,000 miles away from the canopy, and the ears echoed, in addition to the sound of the wind, the most was the noise of frogs and cicadas.
Tianpeng thought about it, and he also felt funny, this kind of "tailwind" kung fu is not something that anyone can easily master. He didn't say anything, and led everyone silently forward. After another journey, several adjutant generals had a strange feeling in their ears, and they rushed to report to the canopy. Tianpeng was not in a hurry, but just ordered everyone to do so, and everyone tiptoed to speed up their pace, anyway, now after all, the situation has been discovered.
"Soul Garden" There are soldiers guarding the night, the mausoleum area covers a large area, the surrounding is surrounded by white Tianhe stone to form a wall, the wall imitates the style of the South Tianmen city wall, implying that the Tianhe army is a strong barrier of the heavenly palace, the open space is full of vigorous and upright pines and cypresses, and at the same time it naturally becomes a marker, the mausoleum area is divided into different intervals, on the neat and flat lawn, the stars are dotted with the tombstones of the soldiers of the Tianhe army who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Tiangong in the previous battles to defend the heavenly palace, or the tombstones of the soldiers of the Tianhe army who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the heavenly palace in the peaceful era, a huge sphere stands in the middle of the mausoleum area, which burns the sun fire that never goes out, blazing and bright, so that the mausoleum area never has a dark night。
The guards saw Tianpeng and his party arriving from a distance, and were about to routinely ask for passwords, but Tianpeng was busy "whispering" and told the guards not to make a noise. When he got to the front of him, he whispered and asked who walked into the cemetery in the middle of the night to pay tribute to the deceased?
The guards replied that it was the Quartermaster Department's first-class guard god strong order.
Tiancang's eyebrows jumped, and his heart suddenly became suspicious. This Qiang Shan was originally the most trusted general under Fengyuan, and it was human nature to pay tribute to and cherish his old chief, so he did not have to violate military regulations, and the third night shift slipped into this "Loyal Soul Garden" and made the formal and solemn mourning activities like "underground activities." Tianpeng was puzzled, but when he thought that Qiang Shan was the first person to violate military discipline tonight, he might as well follow the vine and touch the melon, and take the responsibility for violating military discipline as a breakthrough point, and solve the mystery of this "midnight memorial" from point to point. Thinking of this, I instructed everyone to wait patiently here and not to alarm the people who pay their respects in the garden.
Everyone thinks that Tianpeng is going to "shoot the first bird", and he is worried about Qiang Dan, although the circumstances of this fault are slight, and the punishment is nothing more than a confinement, but I feel that it is not worth it, if there is an appointment in vain, everyone will come together, and the sad voice will move the sky, this is called the real mourning activity! What is it now, aside from everyone, he is a maverick and engages in "heads-up", so that outsiders think, except for you, Fengyuan does not have an "iron buddy" in the Heavenly Palace? Ideas can be varied, but there is only one way to carry out orders: absolute obedience and respect!
Everyone "stake" generally, standing straight, quietly and silently waiting at the entrance of the mausoleum, even if the canopy is not reminded, the generals have to be automatically conscious, self-restraint, a quality person should understand such a simple truth: in a place where the heroic spirit is buried, laughing wantonly, even if it is whispering, it is disrespectful, it is a blasphemy of the heroic spirit!
The night wind whines, the pines and cypresses groan, although the "Loyal Soul Garden" at night is illuminated by the "sun fire" as bright as day, but the night sky is dark after all, the black night with the white light, but makes the mausoleum area more solemn and deep, adding a sense of sadness and sadness. The continuous, nonexistent, intermittent cries of the wind stirred everyone's hearts and the corners of their eyes were hot.
I don't know how many hours I waited, I saw Qiang Shan drooping his head from a distance, his expression was in a trance, and he didn't look up at the road, just buried his head and walked quickly, and looked up coldly, but saw that Tianpeng was as cold as frost, his eyebrows were cold, and his eyes shot out of cold light, and he couldn't help but be frightened, his soul was scattered, his knees were weak, and he knelt in front of Tianpeng and wept bitterly: "Marshal, I am a heinous sinner! I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Brother Fengyuan, I'm sorry for the brothers!"
