Chapter 54: Echoes

Before Helan Yan left, he still went to the temple in the mountain of Qiangwu Kingdom.

When the servant inside saw him come in, he asked, "Down, but do you want to plant love?" ”

Kind of love silk...... He was no stranger to it.

Back then, I still told him that the women of the Qiang Wu Kingdom like to worship the gods, and if they ask for marriage, they will take a hair of the beloved man and go to the temple to ask the gods to help plant love silk.

Love silk is also love.

In the final analysis, the hair is buried under the skin at the wrist, and because the hair is buried very shallowly, it looks like a black thread is tattooed from the outside.

It is said that if the affection is always there, the black line will always be there, and if the affection is gone, the "love thread" will disappear.

At that time, when she talked about it, Helan Yan also specially asked her if she had ever planted it, and she shook her head and said, "I don't have anyone I like yet, maybe I will plant it in the future." ”

The past is still vivid, but the old man can no longer touch it.

Helan Yan was silent in front of the idol for a while, and said with a smile: "No need, I'm a man, there's no need to do this." ”

The priest said: "Men can also plant love threads, and they only need to take a hair from the woman they like, and they can plant love." ”

He remembered the way he had seen her yesterday, and her black hair had all rolled up.

Now that she has become a parent, she should have already planted love silk for her beloved.

Helan Yan said to the gods: "No need, I can't get her hair anymore." ”

After speaking, he bowed to his nerves and said, "I pray that the gods will protect like-minded people, and bless the sentient beings with good luck in their lives, and I will repay them all my unfulfilled wishes." ”

He didn't expect that he would say it so easily, and finally, in his heart, he reconciled with another persistent self, and decided to make a break with his own hands for the regret that this love could not be made.

Leaving the Qiangwu Kingdom, Helan rushed to the eastern camp non-stop, and the army had completed the arrangement.

"It's up to you, now you can send troops." Xiang Ju'an was dressed in armor, holding a frost breaking knife in his hand, and his overlord horse was at his side, looking so imposing!

Xiang Ju'an arranged: "I will take the lead with Yingnian in this dispatch, Helan Jiyu, you two are defending in the rear!" ”

Although Guan Jiyu and Helan have not been in the camp for a long time, they have long been accustomed to taking the lead, for this arrangement, Guan Jiyu was surprised, and said: "General, in the past, Helan and I were the vanguard to enter the enemy first, you have to be in charge of army deployment and command tactics, if you let you take the lead, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?!" ”

Xiang Ju'an said: "Look, you have put yourself in a fixed position, which is the last thing I want." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and he continued: "I know that you are all good at learning, but you can't always be satisfied with what you are good at. ”

Xiang Ju'an pointed at Guan Jiyu and Helan Yan, and said: "You will only bury your head in attacking, attacking, war is endless, if you encounter a long-range fighting style, can you do it?" ”

He walked up to Jiang Yingnian again, poked Jiang Yingnian's chest with his finger, and said, "And you, can you shoot a few arrows?" The bow is out of arrows, what do you do? Can you do hand-to-hand combat? ”

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to Xiang Ju'an's words, his voice was a little higher, and said, "Just like you, you still want to fight for the titles of 'defending glory' and 'defending horses' under my subordinates?" Look at yourself, is there anyone who can be worthy of it now?! ”

Xiang Ju'an's words are not good, but they are reasonable.

After listening to his reprimand, everyone shouted in unison: "The subordinates must learn more and watch more, and live up to the expectations of the general!" ”

Xiang Ju'an said solemnly: "Let's go!" ”

The vanguard team set off in a majestic manner, perhaps because this time it was Xiang Ju'an who personally led the vanguard team to the front, and everyone in the army had the confidence and confidence to win this battle.

There is a forest near the border of the True Fool Country, which Jiang Yingnian once saw from afar when he was on patrol. This wooded and unfathomable forest is the best natural barrier for the True Fool Country.

"You see, this forest is what I told you about earlier." Jiang Yingnian said to Xiang Ju'an: "I just looked at it not far away, and no one knows what is in it." ”

Xiang Ju'an said: "It is because of this protective barrier that they dare to run over and harass them repeatedly, and conclude that our army does not dare to chase in." Today I am going to take off their masks with my own hands, whether they are humans or ghosts, let me see first! ”

Jiang Yingnian nodded and said to the team behind: "Ten people come out, follow me in first!" ”

Although Xiang Ju'an reprimanded them, he saw that Jiang Yingnian took the initiative to enter the forest first, and he was still not very relieved in his heart, but the road of training was like this, step by step, and he could only say: "Be careful in everything!" ”

Saying that, he threw Jiang Yingnian a jade whistle and admonished: "This is what I have been wearing with me for many years, and now I give it to you." Remember, blow this whistle if there is a situation, and I will rush to reinforcements immediately! ”

The jade whistle only looked at the surface, and it could be seen that it was a good thing, and the rope tied to it was already worn, so Jiang Yingnian put it around his neck and led people into the forest.

It was not the first time Jiang Yingnian had entered this kind of forest, and the last time he chased the Qu Mo army in the north, he also chased him into the woods. However, it was the middle of winter, and the trees were bare, so even if the forest was large, it was not easy for Tibetans.

And now that the spring day is coming to an end, the forest in front of the True Fool Country has long been flourishing, and he must be vigilant and careful every step.

Jiang Yingnian patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "You go to the front first, remember, don't go too far, and learn a bird call as a code if there is no situation." ”

The soldiers who were ordered resolutely stepped forward, Jiang Yingnian and the remaining nine soldiers waited in place, but when they could have half a pillar of incense, they didn't hear any sound.

"It's been so long, what's going on?" Jiang Yingnian frowned, he learned a bird call, but after the sound fell, there was silence in the forest again, and there was no response.

Jiang Yingnian noticed something unusual, and quietly instructed the nine people around him, "You guys follow tightly, don't get separated!" ”

"Yes." The people behind him are clustered together, and they always pay attention to whether there is anything unusual around them.

Jiang Yingnian lightened his pace and continued to walk slowly forward, his eyes keenly observing the wind and grass around him.

A thick fog gradually spread in the woods, this fog came strangely, and Jiang Yingnian was already surrounded by dense fog before he could see the direction it was floating from.

"Keep up!" This time Jiang Yingnian spoke, no one responded, he turned around suddenly, and the nine people who were still behind him just now had all disappeared.

He ran a few steps back, still not seeing half a figure.

Jiang Yingnian's heart was half cold, at this moment he understood that this fog was not an ordinary fog, it was definitely an obstacle set up by the True Fool State! He touched the jade whistle on his chest, thinking to himself, even if he blew the whistle, what was the use? Before he could figure out the forest, the ten people who followed him had already disappeared, and rashly asking for support at this moment would only make more people fall into this obstacle.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in his ears, and Jiang Yingnian immediately shouted in the direction of the footsteps: "Is it you?" ”

No one answered, the footsteps became farther and farther away, Jiang Yingnian followed and ran for dozens of steps, the footsteps disappeared again, and when he stopped in place, there were footsteps in the other direction, and he followed to chase again, but he chased and chased again. The footsteps seemed to be deliberately teasing him, leading him to run around, and after a few laps, Jiang Yingnian completely lost his direction.

Jiang Yingnian decided to ignore these footsteps, he took out a dagger from his arms and slashed the trees in front of him.

In the midst of the obstacle, it is easy for a person to lose his way, not to mention that someone is deliberately interfering with him. In order to avoid being spinning in place all the time, Jiang Yingnian used a dagger to mark the trees wherever he went.

Through this method, Jiang Yingnian was soon able to find the road he had not yet walked, and after walking a hundred steps forward, the fog gradually faded.

His vision regained clarity, but the scene in front of him made his back cold, and his heart almost rose to his throat.

In front of Jiang Yingnian was a small area that was quite empty, unlike the place where he had just walked was all planted with trees. In the only place where no trees were planted, there was a row of corpses. No more, no less, exactly ten.

It was the ten people who had just followed him into the woods, and at this moment, they were like dolls that had lost their lives, neatly displayed in front of Jiang Yingnian. Someone must have done it deliberately, this is a naked provocation to him, and it is an insult to him.

Jiang Yingnian was shocked, and his anger suddenly came up, and he roared angrily: "Come out!" Come out for me! ”

This time there was no longer silence in the woods, and there was a burst of laughter all around, the voice was sharp and piercing, like a spike scratching the heart, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, and Jiang Yingnian didn't even know if it was a human voice.

"It's a human or a ghost, come out and talk to Lao Tzu!" He roared again.

A spiky voice echoed in the sky again, saying, "Guess, guess, guess right, give you candy~"

Jiang Yingnian's ears were filled with this gloomy laughter, but the next scene was ten times more gloomy than this laughter!

I saw the ten corpses in front of me, all of them stood up, they are not like normal human bodies from lying down to getting up, it takes a process, they are more like marionettes, their drooping limbs are pulled up violently, forming such a terrifying picture that cannot be described in words.

Jiang Yingnian took a closer look, only to find that their necks, hands and feet were all wearing transparent threads, which would be difficult for ordinary people to find if they didn't have excellent eyesight.

They are like playthings that have been forcibly pulled up to perform, and wherever the silk threads on their bodies are pulled, they are obediently pulled.

Not only that, but the yin voice began to talk again.

"They look so unhappy!"

"Why? Isn't dancing something to be fun about? ”

"Look at them one by one, they're not smiling at all!"

"It's okay, I'll make them laugh~"

A paintbrush suddenly flew out of the air, drawing on the ten corpses that were being towed, and soon, their faces were painted red with vermilion brushes, and even their mouths were painted into grinning lips.

The voice gathered in Jiang Yingnian's ears from all around: "Hehehehehehe, it's so fun, it's so fun~"

Ten people who were originally alive were regarded as playthings by these things that were not yin and yang, and they were playing with them wantonly, even if they had lost their lives, they still had to suffer this insult!

"Fun fart!" Jiang Yingnian's chest was uncomfortably blocked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If there is a kind, you will show your true face!" ”

The voice laughed again: "Okay, okay, since you want to see it so much, then I will satisfy you and let you take a look." ”
