Chapter 169: Sealing the Coffin
For the next three days, the generals and soldiers were still not provided with any supplies or shelter on the mountain, so that they could be exhausted from their travels.
From going down the mountain to transport grain up the mountain, you have to find wood for heating.
Let them devote all their energy to solving the problems of food, clothing, shelter and warmth.
The generals and the soldiers tossed and turned for another day, and when evening approached, the generals finally couldn't stand it anymore, and left a few soldiers to guard them, and took all the other soldiers back to the station at the bottom of the mountain to rest.
That way, they can do things conveniently.
The little Taoist priest gave a few jars of wine to the ten soldiers guarding to keep them warm.
After these people had eaten, they gathered around the fire, and as soon as the temple door was closed, the room instantly warmed up, and the drunken spirit came up, and soon the soldiers fell asleep in a groggy state.
In order to prevent them from waking up in the middle of the night, Helan Yue added a little medicine to their house to ensure that they could sleep until dawn.
These generals want to see the old Taoist priest cremated, but it will definitely not be as they wish, at most they can only let them see the coffin cremated.
He Lanyue and the others dug a secret passage from the room to the location where the coffin was placed in the lobby.
The old man Cui Yongyuan was in charge of making the coffin and making a mechanism at the bottom.
After three days, put the old Taoist priest in the coffin and nail the coffin board in front of the generals, and then the people below can act.
First open the coffin mechanism, get the person out of the coffin, and then put some wood and animal carcasses on it.
Then seal the bottom of the coffin.
The secret passage under the coffin must be sealed before the coffin is lifted, so that no one can find it.
These soldiers were guarded during the day, and it was inconvenient for them to move, and digging tunnels could only be done at night.
Black and white reversed, busy for two nights, and finally everything was implemented according to the expected plan.
Early in the morning of the third day.
The five generals, with a group of listless soldiers, came up the mountain again.
No one on the hill paid any attention to them, and proceeded in an orderly manner according to the previous plan.
At this time, a pyre had been set up in the open space of the back cliff, just waiting for the coffin to be put on it.
After the generals confirmed the body, when the coffin was sealed, one of them suddenly stopped it.
"Since you are watching the cremation of the body of the former god of war, you can't seal the coffin, give you two choices, either just don't seal the coffin and carry it over, or just put the body on the pyre for cremation, choose one of the two, you can do it yourself."
Old man Shen stood up suddenly.
"As far as you little minions are concerned, I really think that we are afraid that you will not succeed, and you must come according to our rules on this mountain."
"In this way, this person cannot be cremated today, and when we send someone back to report, His Majesty the Emperor of our countries will make a ruling, and you will see it yourself when the time comes."
"Don't threaten us with the monarchs of your countries, we have already given what you want, don't bully people too much, you are just little minions who do things for others, you are really anxious, be careful that when you dream back in the middle of the night, you were cut off by someone, and you don't know what happened."
"You ...... How dare you threaten us with wild words. ”
"So what, anyway, the people are gone, and we have no scruples, let alone anything that can tie us down, but you are different, hahaha......"
Several generals glanced at each other.
They saw death in each other's eyes.
The errand is not done, and they will not be able to survive when they go back, including their families.
They must do what the master above has told them, and they must see the body of the former god of war turn to ashes in order to successfully complete the task.
In fact, they all know very well in their hearts that they only have two ends here, the first is to complete the task, and the second is to be used as cannon fodder.
And what their master wants is nothing more than to let the Black Rider know that even if they have a new master, the new master will not protect the old one.
This is to chill the hearts of the black riders and make them separate from the new master.
And only in this way will the Xizhou State continue to be in civil strife, so that the Six Nations can continue to maintain the semblance of balance.
When these generals saw that everyone on the mountain was already approaching them with great momentum, one of the generals said in a panic:
"Even if you kill all of us today, the masters of our countries will continue to send people again, and when you leave this temple, where can you go when the world is so big, do you want to go to Xizhou, if you really go, presumably at that time, the five countries will definitely use the strength of the whole country to encircle and suppress Xizhou, this is the ending that the former god of war wants to see."
Just as the atmosphere was tense, a sound of neat steps quickly approached this side.
After a while, a group of black-clad men in heavy armor entered the courtyard.
With the spears in their hands, they quickly surrounded the people of these five countries.
Facing the spears glowing with cold light, the generals of the five countries all turned pale.
Before coming, the masters of various countries discussed it, and they tried every means to drag the new monarch of Xizhou State, and they would definitely not give him a chance to come over for reinforcements.
But the group of black riders still appeared in front of them.
They had knives in their hands, but their legs still trembled.
Black riding is passed down from generation to generation.
Usually there are no tasks, no one knows where they are hiding, and their children and grandchildren will take the spears from their elders and pass them down from generation to generation.
The Black Rider will only be inherited, not lost.
And the only person they owe allegiance to is the one who holds the Black Rider Token.
How many people dream of getting this group of well-trained and martial arts black riders.
Even if you spend a lot of money, you have never succeeded.
The Black Rider split the group in two and quickly cleared a passage.
I saw a very thin man with a golden mask on his face walk in.
He came to the coffin and fell to his knees and slammed his head three times.
He stood up, went to the coffin, and gazed at the body inside for a long time.
The voice was a little dull and said, "Seal the coffin." ”
In the face of absolute strength, before the generals could speak, they were beaten to the ground.
The coffin was sealed without incident.
He Lanyue kept staring at the man's figure closely, feeling very familiar.
Smelling the faint smell of blood on his body again, she couldn't help but want to step forward, but someone grabbed her arm.
Soon Chu Xiaohe's voice came from his ears.
"You recognize him in the past now, it will only make him embarrassed, he is now embattled, if you let people know your relationship with him, it is tantamount to making people pinch his weakness, how do you let him choose when the time comes."
He Lanyue's hands couldn't help but clench into fists, and even trembled slightly.
She suppressed her desire to rush over and ask him why he had suddenly left so quietly, and had not even given her a word for so long, and wanted to know how he was doing.
