"Dong Ya, the New Year's coins have been handed over to those barbaric Laotians, aren't we going back to Hasa City? Although the National Teacher allowed us to stay in Laos for a little longer, it is time for us to leave for the summer season, right? ”

"It's okay, after I go back, I will explain to the National Teacher with my own words."

A pair of young men and women with blond hair and blue eyes, fair-skinned all over their bodies, each riding on a leather-thorn beast, standing on a mountain city in Laos, or to be precise, on a naturally formed cliff, behind them, are those who are tall and dark-skinned Laos, and the city built with mountain stones indiscriminately, after years of accumulation, has long been integrated with the forest tomb, if you look at it from a distance, it looks like a towering ant mountain, rugged and weird but reveals a kind of grandeur without artificial chisels.

Looking far away, beyond the flat Sanjiang Yuanye of the southern hazel country, is the territory of the Jiang country, although the sun is rising, the horizon is slowly beginning to take on the splendor of green and golden yellow.

"Bam, command to go down, and the rest of the people will gather together, leave here immediately, and march towards the Hazelnut Country."

"Dongya, what are you going to do? We, the people of Haotang Country, can't cross Laos, let alone be known by the national teacher, even if we are known by the elders, we can't escape the crime. ”

"I will bear all the consequences, you just have to tell me to go down."

The man looked at her resolute gaze, and did not dare to hesitate, patted the thorny beast under him, and quickly returned to the city behind him.

As the captain of the escort team appointed by the National Teacher, one night before leaving at the end of last year, Dong Ya had a particularly real and strange dream, in which she met a young Jiang Guo named Yi Houpeng in the Colosseum.

Blood continued to gush out from his erect neck, and when he was carried down, Dong Ya happened to be separated from his sister who was watching the battle here, and he had no intention of bumping into him, looking at the young man who had not yet lost his breath as if he was unwilling, staring at himself tightly, and the ghost made him get close to him, gently holding his hand, and then, he seemed to have become the young man, from his birth, to his departure from Yizhou, to getting acquainted with Situ Jing, joining the Butterfly Army, etc., the past was like a world away from home, until he was torn apart by the beasts in the Colosseum, Dong Ya sat up in fright, I actually had a dream within a dream.

Dong Ya, who had palpitations, gently stroked her neck, feeling wet and slippery, looking through the moonlight outside the window, there was a piece of blood in her hand, and she carefully stretched out her hand and rubbed it, she was not injured at all, but this bloody blood was real.

After wiping it with a light veil, Dong Ya, who had been calm, looked at the blood stains in her hands, and her heart beat wildly again, and the blood stains actually formed a unique earthworm-like text in Haotang Kingdom, "To Jiang Country".

She didn't mention it to anyone, including her sister and the elders of the clan.

In Haotang country, there are few Jiang people, maybe within a hundred years, you can see one or two can become a local anecdote, all of them are the playthings of those nobles in captivity, and Haotang people, on the Jiang country, there are only a few words of understanding, because from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present, nearly a thousand years, no one dares to set foot on that territory, but all those who are good believers, after passing through Laos, have become the residue of history, and there is no news.

Only the royal family and the elders of the Wo Sect, led by the national teacher, knew the secrets, but they never stopped those who were curious.

Ever since that strange dream, going to "go to Jiang Country" seems to have become a spell, constantly urging Dongya's heart to bewitch and urge herself. The family that was originally hopeless, but unexpectedly, the national teacher couldn't help but forgive them for the sins of this broken aristocracy, and especially allowed Dong Ya to become the captain of the tribute team to Laos, after the fact, not only can the family enjoy the honor again, but even have more power, wealth and slaves than before.

Only Dongya knows that everything does not seem so simple, as if there is an invisible hand manipulating herself behind her back.

Every Haotang person who goes to Laos, it is the first and the last, but for some reason, as long as he steps into the boundary of Laos, he will obviously feel unwell, and after returning to Haotang, the light one is slightly ill, and it is good to rest for half a month, and the heavy one will suddenly have a serious disease, and even his life is not guaranteed, and the famous doctor who was born again will not help, and eventually he will die of inexplicable qi and blood failure.

As one of the queen's close ministers in history, the family was implicated because he offended the national teacher who rose later, otherwise, who would be willing to sacrifice the heirs of the clan to take the initiative to go to the Lao country and experience a journey that is worse than death.

Different from the rumors, the moment Dong Ya entered Laos, her original nervous heart was dispelled by a cool baptism, except for her and Bam, the rest of the personnel, all of them were the same as the Haotang people who had come here, coughing incessantly, or fever and wheezing.

Originally, after the New Year, the New Year's coins of Haotang Country were successfully handed over to the Lao people, and the team could return the same way, but Dongya had a dream again a few days before leaving......

Dong Ya couldn't remember exactly what she dreamed about, only a few fragments, she seemed to fly out of a certain palace in Jiang Country, and then the army of thunder and thunder escorted her in the air, and then landed in the city of Susa in Haotang Country......

That morning, after waking up, Dong Ya's face was full of tears, and she became more and more determined to "return" to Jiang Guo.

In the midst of self-tormented waiting, Fu Zhi's soul, as the sun rose, there was a ding dong in her heart, and a voice told her that it was time to leave for Jiang Guo.

When they came, the team of more than 200 people, because of the delay for too long, dozens of people had already died in their homeland, and the remaining more than 100 people, some of them followed behind Dongya and Bam weakly, as slaves, the lowest untouchables in the Haotang country, they could only obey their words and never dare to resist, insisting that there was still a glimmer of life, and daring to resist was lifeless.

The mountain city of Laos behind him is getting smaller and smaller, the earth is getting flatter and flatter, the smell of grass is blowing in, and the fresh and moist air fills the body, and everyone can clearly feel that it is a different breath from Haotang Country.

Lao and Hazelnut, there is no clear boundary, if there is, maybe it is a hill in front of them, waiting for everyone to climb down, taking care of Dongya and Bam who are still in front of them, until a halfway over, only to find that they are so quiet behind them, and when they look back, the treacherous scene can't help but make the two of them stand on end.

The remaining more than 100 Haotang people actually knelt on the grass in silent pain, their limbs twisted and deformed, atrophied at a speed visible to the naked eye, their skin became whiter and fairer, and the whites of their eyes receded rapidly, turning into dark eyes, and finally, showing their fangs, they turned into hazelnuts.

Without hesitation, Dongya patted the thorny beast under her, and streams of thick green acid spit out continuously, spraying at the group of mutated slaves, as a result, the surrounding grass and trees quickly decayed, and those weirdos were unharmed, screaming and rushing towards the two.

"Run!" Bam shouted, and he followed closely behind Dongya, covering her.

With the huge size of the Thorn Beast, its strong armor and brute strength, the strange people around it were quickly smashed into pieces, and the two of them continued to gallop south while fighting back.

After gradually shaking off the mutated weirdos behind her, Dongya found that the two of them had come to a swampy wetland, and the four legs of the thorny beast were trapped in it, and it was difficult to move.

Before the two of them could catch their breath and rest, terrifying screams came from all around, and black heads, staring at a group of hazelnut people with red eyes, emerged from the water, and the leather-thorn beast under them couldn't help but let out a frightened roar.

Dong Ya saw that the surroundings were completely black, and countless black shadows appeared more and more in front of her, and a wave of despair rose from the bottom of her heart, it turned out that those dreams were actually made to send her here to die.

"Who said that? Don't be discouraged, little girl! You have to believe in yourself, even if you don't believe in yourself, you can't trust me! ”

With the sound of this voice in his mind, the cool feeling when he first entered Laos doubled his whole body, and then he only felt a warm current in his abdomen, flowing through his limbs and hundreds of remains, his brain was transparent, and the fluttering feeling was about to come out of his body, as if from between heaven and earth, there was a steady stream of energy that could not tell what it was, and through the back of his head, the energy generated by himself in his body was constantly blended with the natural forces of the outside world, and he kept swelling himself with cold and hot, just when Dong Ya couldn't help but shout, The voice rang out again:

"Peace of mind, heaven and earth are infinite, the body is transformed and transformed, do whatever you want! Chi! ”

There was another ding dong, Dong Ya only felt that her body seemed to be emitting an invisible light, raised her hands, and looked at the changes in her body, not dazzling but shining, the group of monsters in the water, as if in the heaven and earth, was twisted by some black mist, which was wrapped in red strange things.

The same thing, in Bam, and the thorny beast under the two of them, also underwent a metamorphosis. Two people and two beasts, or one person, one spirit and two beasts, do not know that they have completed a physical and mental "return to the basics".

"Little girl, and that little brother, hurry up, spray them!"

Bam, at this time, actually changed into a similar form to the sentence spirit, but the body was more solid, a cyan round light appeared behind him, his whole body was covered with a dark blue armor similar to the solid armor of the leather thorn beast, and he held a virtual double-headed thorn spear in his hand, divided into two long wedges and held each hand in each hand, and with a slight wave, a group of illusory leather thorn beasts jumped out of the water, constantly hitting and slapping the surrounding puppets, or spewing out cyan spirit qi, tearing and fading those dirt.

The leather-thorn beast under the seat, at this time, has shrunk into the size of a high-headed horse, but it is full of a sense of solidity and majesty, cyan energy, circulating and constantly revealing the strong armor, no need for Dong Ya to move, as if it can sense the master's thoughts, cyan acid, keep squirting around, and soon those red-eyed monsters seem to have been stripped of their black armor, revealing the rotten body wrapped in it, and then dissipated, leaving only a pool of black slime.

The speed was far less than the number of puppets that appeared, and the danger of the two was not only not alleviated in the slightest, but became more and more overwhelming.

"No, it's not enough! Hey, friends from heaven, here and here, come and help! ”

Just as more and more of the surrounding Hazelnut people who had been corrupted by the dirt rushed towards this side, from the sky, clusters of golden and fine thunderbolts continued to fall, bombarding this water indiscriminately.

The Thunder Army, which had already solved the danger of Zhanzhou and had just returned to the boundary of Shenzhou, was returning to Nulu Mountain, and was being summoned here to continue to wipe out this group of puppets that had slipped through the net.

Looking at the sky, the group of strange heavenly troops who had only seen in dreams, the tears in Dong Ya's eyes kept flowing, she was very strange, that feeling was so familiar and nostalgic, and there was some regret and confusion.

Soon, only a black viscous liquid or something from the body of Qi was left in the water, and a man in sackcloth finally appeared, took the dirt Qi into his hand, and rolled it into a ball, in which faintly flashed red thunder and lightning.

He looked at Dong Ya, who was crying alone in the water, and the earth boy named Bam, coughed, waved his hand, sent the Lei Jun back to the place, blinked and said, "Little girl, cough cough, no, it should be, Jiang, Sister Chen?" That's not right, little sister? ”
