Chapter 3: Ghosts
Endless dust fell from the sky, and the ground was covered in white ash everywhere.
Wu Yan dusted off his body and looked at the empty surroundings in confusion, not understanding where he had come.
The heavens and the earth were colorless, the clouds covered the sun, and everything was gray as far as the eye could see, and there was not a single living creature around.
Wu Yan wandered alone in the dim world, I don't know how long he walked, but a thick layer of ashes had accumulated on his body, and even his hair and eyebrows were dyed gray.
"God, detain me, if you want to kill me, you can do it, why are you torturing me like this." Wu Gen couldn't stand the emptiness and loneliness anymore, jumped to his feet like a shrew and scolded, punching and kicking around.
Heaven and earth are still empty, only the dust falls.
It turns out that loneliness is also a murderous poison, and it is no wonder that those who were stationed here went crazy and even committed suicide. If there is only one person left in one heaven and earth, what use do you want this heaven and earth to do, and what use does you want this body?
Gradually, Wu Yan became silent, but he just raised his feet and walked forward.
Finally, Wu Yan couldn't hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground, his heart was like ashes, lying in the ashes with his eyes closed and waiting to die.
The ashes covered the body, accumulating more and more, gradually becoming a mound.
After a long time, a figure leaped high from the mound. Wu Yan held the knife in one hand, pointed at the sky and scolded, "I don't know if grandpa's nickname is Shi Shen'er, he is notoriously smelly and hard, and if you want me to die here, it's not as good as you want." ”
"Ye is a star in the sky, but he is affected by the mortal dust. Chopped the dragon as a belt, and saw that the mother-in-law only slipped out of the ......" roaring the slang in the village, Wu Qian danced the knife with one hand and strode forward.
After walking for a long time, the dust in the sky seemed to be smaller, and a ray of light finally appeared in the distance. In such a dimly lit background, it looks quite striking.
Wu Gen was ecstatic when he saw this, as long as there was a change, it was better to care about him than to stay here. When he got closer, he stopped and looked ahead in a daze.
What appeared in front of me were huge square stone gates, rows of abrupt standing in the space, and you couldn't see the edge at a glance.
Standing in front of the stone gate, Wu Gen was like an ant looking up at the towering trees.
The stone gate has been dilapidated, and there are faint marks on it, but it is not clear to see, and I don't know where it leads.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Jian walked to the nearest stone gate. With a strong push, the stone door opened easily. Walking in with your feet carefully, the vision changes dramatically, and what catches your eye is a huge ancient battlefield.
As far as the eye can see, the wind is howling, the flag is crooked, and the remnants of the army are everywhere.
Thunder and lightning roared in the sky, the sky was as red as a sea of blood, and the smell of blood permeated the dead ruins. The corpses piled up on the ground were terrifying, and the thick aura of death was almost suffocating.
Wu Yan took a deep breath and strode out of the stone gate.
After walking more than a dozen steps, I looked back and couldn't help but open my mouth wide. Where are these stone gates, but tombstones.
The tombstones shoot straight into the sky, and the tall mounds stretch out to the sky like a series of mountain peaks.
Suddenly, the tombstone cracked, and one figure came out of it. These people were of different heights, their armor was torn, and some even had half of their bodies mutilated.
The only thing that is the same is that all of them have no facial features on their faces and are bare. When they saw Wu Gan, these people's faces gradually evolved, and they all turned into Wu Gan's appearance.
Looking down at himself, he didn't know when he had the body of a big man, with high muscles, shirtless, covered with black hair, and holding a big stick.
A five-foot tall giant with a long sword in his hand roared, and the drums of war shook the sky.
These people quickly straightened up the formation and rushed forward like a torrent of rumbling.
Wu Jian scratched his head, watching countless of himself pass by, rushing forward to kill first, and he couldn't help but feel a little absurd.
Inhumans appeared in front of them, all of whom had red eyes and black mist around them, driving monsters to rush over.
These monsters are strange, with two-headed vicious dogs, blood dripping from their mouths, and turning into blue flames when they land.
There are bull-headed tiger monsters, with infinite strength, and huge boulders are like paper paste under their horns, and they will shatter at the touch of a button.
Wu Ganhu's body was shocked, how could such a terrifying monster be beaten.
His eyes rolled, and according to the method taught by Lao Mo, he first raised his arms and rushed to the front of the team. After running for a while, it seemed that his physical strength was a little exhausted, and he slowly fell behind others. Gradually, from the forward to the Chinese army, from the middle army to the rear army.
was hiding in the crowd and pretending to shout to kill, Wu Gen suddenly felt something strange around him, and saw countless "Wu Gen" beside him all turning their heads and glaring at him.
Wu Qian waved his hand at everyone, "Your own family, your own family, don't be impulsive." ”
The tall giant with a long sword walked over and slapped a sword on Wu Gan's ass.
With a miserable scream, Wu Yan covered his ass and rose into the sky like an arrow, screaming and screaming, crossing one "self" after another, and falling alone among the monsters.
Dead end.
Looking at the swarming monsters, Wu Yan wanted to cry without tears, brandished the big stick in his hand, and desperately resisted the attacks of the monsters around him.
After a while, Wu Gen was pierced by the sharp horns of a monster, his eyes turned black, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Dead.
In a daze, Wu Yan opened his eyes and saw that he was still in that gray space. At this point, think about it, this must be in a grave somewhere.
Jumped up to look at himself, but he was intact, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Turning his head to look at the empty space, Wu Yan was a little worried, could it be that he had to enter the battlefield again. Although you can be resurrected after death, the pain of being inflicted by the axe can really be felt.
After walking forward for a long time, rows of stone doors appeared in front of him.
With a long sigh, Wu Yan pushed open the stone door again.
This time, she was transformed into a muscular woman, wearing red armor, standing in the center of the line.
The woman and the big man with the long sword in his hand seemed to be a couple, looking at the big man with his own face, looking at himself with affection, Wu Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he had the urge to kill himself on the spot.
Ignoring the concerned gaze of the big man, Wu Gen bravely rushed into the enemy formation, and took the initiative to die after slashing and killing.
When I woke up again, I was in the grave space again.
How many times this has been repeated, Wu Gen doesn't know how many times he has died, but he has never been able to get out of this place.
Every time he incarnates, Wu Gen can vaguely feel the strong obsession of the other party, or the longing for his hometown, or the hatred of strangers.
Sometimes Wu Jian would also wonder if his body was real or fake, or a ghost who had been confined here for a long time.
If you are born in a dream, how do you know what a dream is and what is a floating life. If you were an ordinary person, if you had this experience, I am afraid that you would soon get confused and go crazy.
Although he experienced life and death again and again, Wu Jian found that he was living longer and longer. Without him, every time he incarnates a person, he naturally finds that he will have some skills in front of this person, although he can't remember all of them after waking up, but after accumulating, he also has some understanding.
It's just that when this kind of day is a head, it is difficult to be trapped here all the time, with the lonely soul of the barold mound as a companion.
In the tomb, Wu Yan looked at the sky in a daze, his expression was sluggish and his mind was exhausted.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the gray sky cracked like an eggshell.
A huge eye appeared in the sky, shooting out a golden light that scanned in all directions.
"What a strange eye, God has opened his eyes." Wu Yan muttered, closed his eyes and passed out.
When he opened his eyes again, an old man in ragged clothes with a lewd face was crouching in front of him.
Wu Gen hadn't fully woken up yet, and was used to seeing other people's faces on their own, Huo Ran saw this strange old man, and couldn't help blurting out: "What an ugly face, like a monkey." ”
With a "snap", a slap was pasted on Wu Gan's face, "Who is like a monkey, your whole family is a monkey." The old man jumped up and pointed at Wu Yan with his hand.
Wu Yan only came to his senses at this time, looked around, and was already in his cabin.
With his mind in place, he sat up suddenly, grabbed the old man's beard, "Old thing, who are you, dare to beat me." Say, is it a spy of Great Xia, and follow me to see the tun chief. ”
The old man blinked his eyes twice, and looked at Wu Yan pitifully, "This good man, the old man's surname is Wu Minglone, but he is a poor man with no roots and no leaves. Occasionally, everywhere, I saw that you were in a daze, so I took the risk to rescue you, but I don't know why I want to take revenge. ”
Only then did Wu Yan react, "It turned out that the old man made a move, thank you very much." As he spoke, he quickly smoothed the old man's front.
Looking at the old man's expression on how do you reward me, Wu Yan immediately changed his words and said, "However, the public is public, and the private is private, since the owner of this village is stationed here, everything has to be according to the rules." According to the law of Zhao State, you must pay a sum of money to pass the customs, and for the sake of your help, this money will be exempted for you, and our grievances will be written off. ”
Wu Lao stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, but there is still one thing to ask for." The old man should be used as a bed on the ground, and there is nowhere to go, can he stay here for a few days? ”
Thinking of the strange tomb space, Wu Yan also had palpitations, and it was good to have someone to accompany him, so he nodded and agreed.
Wu Lao stayed in the small courtyard under the beacon, and after getting along for a day, Wu Jian found that he was soft-hearted for a while, and what kind of great god he recruited here.
This Wu Lonely is lazy and greedy, and the amount of food is surprisingly large, and most of the food he cooks every day goes into his stomach.
You must know that the grain and grass in this beacon in the barren mound ridge are supplied on a monthly basis, and in less than ten days, most of them are consumed, which makes Wu Yan very troubled.
There was no way, so Wu Gen had to open a wasteland on the hillside next to the courtyard, hoping to collect some grain to make up for the deficit in the future. On weekdays, they have to go up to the mountains to hunt, which is enough for the two of them to eat.
Wu Lao just waited in the stove room every day, staring at the stove, and as soon as the food was cooked, he turned against the customer, even grabbing and grabbing, and never letting go of the pot.
Although Wu Gan's hands were itchy with anger, when he thought of these days, there was an old man Wu here, and he didn't enter that weird space anymore, so he endured it, and he spent money to raise a door god.
Early in the morning, Wu Gan carried two rabbits and walked down the mountain, but he had practiced a good hand of archery in Dafeng Village, and he did not come back empty-handed every day.
Walking to a mountain beam, there was a smell of stewed meat in front of me.
Snorting, Wu Jian pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and tiptoed to the edge of the mountain beam.
In the valley under the beam, Wu Liao used a stone to support a large cauldron, in which a sheep's head was boiled, the soup was boiling, and the smell of meat was emanating, which made people salivate.
Wu Gen was furious, this yellow sheep was caught by himself with great effort, and the two of them ate it for a few days, and only one sheep's head remained. Originally, I wanted to save it for a few more days, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by Wu Lone.
With a shout, Wu Yan jumped straight down from the mountain beam and grabbed the other party to death.
"Okay, you're lonely, it's just that you eat more on weekdays, and you dare to steal food behind my back. It's bearable, it's unbearable, you have to give me an explanation today, or you will be punished for not eating for three days. ”
Wu Liao sneered: "It's not that you're hungry, there's no next time." You see, it's not that you haven't moved your chopsticks yet, you're just waiting to eat together. ”
Wu Gen said angrily: "I dare to have a next time, only the master will rob others of the share, and no one will be able to take anything from me." No, you must leave today. "These days, seeing that the rice jar has bottomed out, I really can't afford to feed Wu Lone's gluttony, so I just found an excuse to drive him away today.
Seeing Wu Gan's resolute attitude, Wu Lone's eyes rolled, "Thanks to the care of Lord Wu Zhai these days, the old man is grateful." In this way, I see that the skeleton of the village master is Qingqi, and he is an unborn martial arts wizard.
There is a martial arts classic, and I am willing to send it to the owner of the village to bother for many days. As he spoke, he took out a thin booklet from his body, with the crooked words Yijing on it.
Wu Yan took it and opened it to look at it carefully. The booklet is only three pages, and each page depicts a human figure, dotted with stars, like a starry sky, with a few thick lines running through it.
It's okay, it's okay, there aren't many words.
At the beginning in the village, I learned a few words from Mr. Helm, and I still knew words such as robbery and ransom, and I didn't dare to compliment others.
"What's going on here, isn't it amazing?" Wu Qian asked with some hesitation.
Wu Lao coughed twice and straightened up, "This scripture is the result of countless martial arts masters who have gathered the essence of their ancestors and carved their bones.
This scripture can be used in both boxing and soldiers, and it can be practiced on weekdays to strengthen the body. If the realm is deep, it is not a problem to open mountains and crack rocks, and cut off the river. That is, for the sake of the face of the owner of the village, I am not allowed to see it by ordinary people. ”
Wu Gen was suspicious, "How can you be willing to give me such a precious thing." ”
"All of them are fate. I met my little brother by fate, and I received the grace of porridge and rice, but I can't get repaid, and there will be cause and effect in the future. The old decay is used to wandering, and he is unwilling to be bound by this, so he simply sends you this great opportunity to take this cause and effect. Wu Lonely Shinto said, and said a lot of awkward words.
Wu Yan was confused when he heard this, and finally understood after thinking for a long time, "After going around for a long time, this scripture is worth some money, good boy, I don't know where to get a fake to fool me." No wonder I said that there was less paper to hand over the credit in the past two days, and this sutra was not just written. ”
"If you have eyes and don't know gold and jade, don't pull it down, return me." Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Wu Lonely said inwardly.
Wu Yan held the booklet in his arms, "I'm sorry, I don't have a small hand, and I haven't leaked anything out of my hand." I reluctantly accept it, and if I find it a fake, see how I clean you up. ”
The two had a fight, ate the sheep's head, and then returned to the courtyard.
At night, Wu Gen carefully looked through the Yijing in the house, and looked at it for a long time but didn't know why. Frustrated, he collapsed on the bed and put the book on his face, "Could it be a fake, no, this old boy can rescue me from that hellish place, I think I have some ability." ”
These days, Wu Liao and Wu Gen are grabbing food and drink, and according to Wu Gan's previous temperament, they have already broken the fox crutch and thrown it out.
But Wu Gen suspected that this old boy was pretending to be crazy and stupid, if he really had any ability to hide, wouldn't he be asking for hardship, so he could endure it for so many days.
Today, I even deceived and coaxed, and I got this scripture, I originally thought that it was the secret of what was said in the book, and after practicing, my skills improved greatly, but I didn't expect to get nothing after reading it for a long time.
Sighing, Wu Yan fell asleep unconsciously.
