Chapter 1169 Entering the Demon Slaying City for the First Time
The northernmost place Gu Yuan has been to is the capital. It took two days, Gu Yuan braved the wind and snow, and finally saw the majestic city gate.
Now in this season, Star City has bloomed in spring, but in northern Xinjiang, you can still see snow all over the sky.
It's an amazing place. It's hard to imagine how much the Demon Slayer Army has endured in such a bitter cold place all year round.
What made Gu Yuan even more curious was why so many people loved this place. They are transcendental, or warriors, with their unique talents, they can mix in the wind and water where the spring flowers bloom, but they are willing to sow the seeds of the flower of life here, and let the wind and rain blow the bitter cold.
For the Demon Slaying City, Gu Yuan seriously lacked understanding, even if Zhong Wuchen often whispered in his ear, he still couldn't imagine what this place looked like in his mind, maybe as Li Siming said, a lot of scenery can't be counted from others, so he has to take a walk and take a look.
He imagined what it would be like for him to come to Demon Slaying City for the first time, and what kind of mood he would be in, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Closing his eyes and listening to the hunting sound of the Demon Slashing Army's military flag on the city wall, his mind seemed to return to that night of sword practice by the Star Lake.
"I have a long knife, and its name is steep!"
"Who told you to hold a knife in one hand! Idiot! Are you an idiot! ”
"I have a total of three knives. The first knife is called the wind rising, and the second knife is called Yunsan. ”
"Don't send it! When I get back, just pick me up. These voices still echo in my ears today, just like yesterday.
Gu Yuan tilted his head, his eyes were red, and his lips trembled slightly.
"Master, disciple...... I'm here to pick you up. "I couldn't see you off when you left. When you return, no matter how far away, I should come to pick you up.
Under the gate of Demon Slaying City, Wu Ning stood straight, he waved his hand at Gu Yuan, his skin was a little rough, but the temperament of the whole person had changed a lot compared to when he was in Star City before.
At the beginning of the Star City Martial Arts Academy, Wu Ning gave people the feeling of being gloomy, taciturn, and always had no sense of existence, maybe this was also the effect that Wu Ning wanted himself.
And at the autumn performance, Wu Ning shined, and it was also at that time that more people noticed that there was such a genius hidden in the Star City Martial Arts Academy.
Later, Wu Ning came to the Demon Slaying Army, wanting to sharpen himself in this bitter cold place, and now, when Gu Yuan saw him, he thought from the bottom of his heart that he had made a very wise choice.
Judging from the current situation, Wu Ning's goal of sharpening himself must have been achieved. When he saw Gu Yuan, a smile also appeared on Wu Ning's face.
But when Gu Yuan saw the empty sleeve of his left hand, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his expression was a little stunned.
Wu Ning followed his gaze, also looked at the sleeve tube, and grinned.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." He said. Gu Yuan took another step and walked to the front, he was silent for a few seconds, and said softly: "You should find an A-level pharmacist and ask, they have the ability to make people reborn with broken arms, if the demon slaying army does not have it, go to Guanlong Mountain to see, that pearl predecessor is kind and straightforward, and you are a meritorious person who guards the northern frontier, she will definitely not refuse." Wu Ning shook his head as he shook his empty sleeves.
"I'm not in a hurry for the time being."
"Huh?" Gu Yuan frowned and said seriously,
"How can you not be in a hurry? You are a martial artist, this one arm is missing, and the impact is still very great, do you really think you are Yang Guo? Even if Yang Guo practiced the one-armed sword god, he also suffered a lot, besides-how will you cut your nails in the future? ”
"Gnaw with your teeth." Read the book
"......" Looking at Gu Yuan's speechless appearance, Wu Ning laughed twice, but he laughed and laughed, but he couldn't laugh anymore.
He turned his head, looked at the military flag waving in the wind on the city wall, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Gu Yuan, we won." ”
"I know."
"But there are a lot of people who went with me and never came back." Wu Ning's voice sounded a little muffled.
Gu Yuan didn't speak. He naturally knew about this matter, Cui Yingying said it when he was in Star City before.
"So!" Wu Ning's voice suddenly raised a lot, he turned his face to look at Gu Yuan, his eyes were clear, and he shook his sleeves.
"It's a great luck that I can come back alive, I can feel better without an arm, but you really don't have to worry about me, I'm not lacking heart, General Lingqiao Ling has already made an appointment with me, and after a while, he will help me invite a pharmacist with the ability to regenerate with a broken arm, only when the arm grows, I can kill a few more demon clans, right?" Gu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
Wu Ning squeezed his eyebrows at him again and said, "Haha, I didn't expect it, right?" I'm also a philistine when I come to Demon Slaying City, how can I not do this profitable deal! Seeing that Gu Yuan was still in a trance, he patted Gu Yuan's arm with the intact arm.
"Let's go, I'll take you to take a good look in this demon slaying city!" Picking his fingers and counting, Wu Ning had not been in the Demon Slaying City for a long time, and he was very familiar with every grass and tree here.
He told Gu Yuan that when he first came to Demon Slaying City, he, like the assigned recruits, first started a period of training, got up at four o'clock every day, went to bed at nine o'clock in the evening, ran from the city to the outside of the city, and then ran from outside the city to the city, for the situation in the Demon Slaying City, Wu Ning dared to pat his chest and said that he could walk from the east of the city to the west of the city even with his eyes closed, and he could even count how many bricks there were on the gallop road.
Speaking of these, Wu Ning's eyebrows fluttered, quite proud, Gu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Won't you feel bored?" Wu Ning sighed and said quietly: "Of course it's boring, especially at the beginning, I always feel that I have been fooled, I came to kill the demon army in order to go out of the city to kill the demon and kill the enemy at close range, and I am not here for military training." But immediately, he changed his previous posture again, and said with a smile: "But slowly, I feel that this is very good, there are things to do every day, life is very fulfilling, there are no distractions when lying in bed, when a person is tired to the extreme, how can there be any tossing and turning?" I fell asleep with my eyes closed, and I couldn't move by thunder! Gu Yuan could imagine that kind of picture.
Walking in the Demon Slaying City, Gu Yuan found that this place was very different from what he imagined. When standing outside the city gate, looking at the towering tower, it is as if you have traveled back to ancient times, and the gray city wall has an indescribable sense of oppression.
After entering the city, most of the left and right sides are wooden buildings, as if the teahouse wine shop only seen in ancient costume TV dramas, and there are peddlers and pawns shouting and selling on the left and right.
"In the Demon Slaying City, there are so many ordinary people." Gu Yuan said softly.
"Haha, that's natural!" Wu Ning smiled,
"Actually, when I first came, it was the same as your reaction now, there are like two worlds here and outside, hundreds of years apart, and there is no electricity here, it's not that I want to have it, it's that the demon clan will often cause destruction, and our people can't be assigned out to guard the telephone pole every day, right? So a lot of times, I have to learn to be self-sufficient, don't ask for anything from the outside, and more often than not, I can only count on myself. Gu Yuan was thoughtful.
"Speaking of which...... Most of the ordinary people in the Demon Slaying City have been living here, and some of them have moved in from the outside, probably like this simple life, oh yes, there are also relatives of the sergeants and soldiers, and a small number of them will move here, such as that, the eldest sister came with her husband, selling buns for more than ten years, and her husband is a captain in the Demon Slaying Army, but they can't see each other a few times a year. Gu Yuan became more and more emotional.
But suddenly, Gu Yuan stopped, and Xiao Ai also reminded him.
"There are monsters." He said in a deep voice.
