Torrent Volume Chapter 12 The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
Xu Sheng spent five long days in boredom. After Xiao Jiang left, he didn't even have anyone to talk to; The soldiers who followed him were all unsmiling and rigid.
Of course, Xu Sheng didn't have any opinions on these soldiers, and it was his duty to do so. The more serious and deep these soldiers are, the more it shows that his brother has a good way of governing the army, and the military discipline of the Fan Chuan army is solemn.
"Although Xiao Jiang said that it is only 400 miles to go here, he has to go over many mountains, and he is riding a donkey, the speed is not fast, and it will take two months to go back and forth." Xu Sheng scratched his head and whispered to himself. Two months is not a long time, but it is not short, he is bent on remembering the "extraterrestrial meteorite" and the "Nirvana Sutra", how can he spend two months of torment?
"Well, I don't know when my brother will be back?" Xu Sheng sighed lightly. He thought about it, if Xu Rampant returned soon, he would say goodbye immediately, and by the way, he entrusted Xiao Jiang and his sister together; It's just that, according to those soldiers, Xu Rampant's trip seems to be a bit of an ordeal!
"Hey- that's a lot of trouble!"
Xu Sheng sighed, and then shook his head, he was afraid that the "Meteorite Outside the Sky" and the "Nirvana True Scripture" would be lost, worried that Xiao Jiang's trip would not go well, and he was also worried about his brother's safety; Under this superposition, he only felt that his heart was haggard and his mind could not be gathered.
And what Xu Sheng, who was haggard at the moment, couldn't have known was that at this time, there was a person who was only a few hundred feet away from him, and he was also restless.
Outside Zhiyang City, on the high ground, the handsome and bewitching young man from the mass grave in Liaozhou stood straight. His eyes were full of coldness, and there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Do you think you'll be safe if you hide in the city?" He muttered to himself in a playful and mocking tone.
In fact, he was wrong, Xu Sheng didn't avoid him, and he didn't even know that he was running thousands of miles and chasing after him across mountains and rivers!
"I think I've been to this place back then." Looking at Zhiyang City, the demonic young man's eyes showed a trace of remembrance, and he paused for two breaths, and then continued to mutter: "Although this city is not small, it is estimated that there are at most 200,000 inhabitants in it in the current war years; As for the sergeants, the maximum is not more than thirty thousand. β
"Thirty thousand, that's too little." When the demonic young man said this, he suddenly licked his lips, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said coldly, "Since I have decided to go on a killing spree and show off in front of the world, then where can 30,000 people be satisfied?" This time, I'm going to slaughter the city, and I'm going to turn this place into my favorite tomb. β
In his eyes, the so-called human life, the so-called common people, is not as good as grass mustard. Over the years, he has been hiding in the lonely place of Liaozhou, secretly harvesting life and swallowing the vitality of all spirits; What he did had long gone beyond the scope of human beings, and he had become a demon-like existence.
"Now..."He stared at Zhiyang, his eyes showed a cold light, and he said coldly: "I'm going to kill all sides!" β
Visible to the naked eye, he slowly raised one arm, and his eyes stared, and the red glow appeared all around him.
"WhewβHuh?!" Then, he stopped suddenly, let out a long breath, slowly put down the raised hand, and little by little he gathered the blood light on his body, and his expression changed greatly!
"How so?" His eyes showed deep incomprehension, and after thinking for a long time, he said to himself: "Why did I suddenly have a feeling of suffocation at that moment just now, as if I was being targeted by something!" β
He spread out his senses to probe, and looked around without ceasing; However, the surroundings were the same, only some ruthless grass and trees, and there was nothing unusual. However, he did not dare to take it lightly; When he reaches this realm, he has faintly connected with heaven and earth, and will never feel strange and groundless inexplicably.
"Who's spying on me? And is there really anyone in this world who can hurt me? He asked himself, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said quite conceitedly: "I am only stronger than Wei Fang and Wei Xian back then; The ancestor-level characters of the eight major families, as long as they are alive, are also old and frail, so they are naturally a few points weaker than me; Only the Divine Heavenly Master and the so-called 'Great Pillar Country' can faintly suppress me. However, the Heavenly Master cannot leave Shenzhou, and the 'Great Pillar Kingdom' must always keep an eye on the Heavenly Master. Aside from these two people, outside of Tianjing City, in today's world, who am I afraid of? I am not afraid of anyone! β
He said this, but he had no intention of attacking again.
He's waiting.
Wait for the arrival of some "being" that can strengthen his power.
"Slaughtering a city of soldiers and civilians like this, although it is enjoyable, is a waste of flesh and blood; When all my 'children' are here, they will devour it together, and they won't have to worry about losing their 'essence'. He said in an eerie tone, the greed and bloodlust in his eyes clearly visible.
......
At this time, in the land of Kanto, hundreds of black shadows went crazy, rushing towards the same place at an extremely fast speed; If someone could connect the directions they were moving, they would be amazed to find that all the routes ended up converging to the same point.
And that point, impartial, is Zhiyang!
Gathering towards Zhiyang, there were not only hundreds of black shadows, but also hundreds of thousands, dense ironclad male soldiers!
Kanto terracotta, the spring breeze is steep, in the vitality of the recovery of all things, there is a sense of slaughter. Black dots, densely packed and roughly neatly assembled, zigzagged forward with the undulating mountains, extending into the invisible distance......
"Senior brother, when will I get to Zhiyang, I suffered a big loss in Kanto last time, and this time I will get the field back." In the mighty and serious military formation, an inappropriate woman's voice suddenly sounded; I saw that in the center of the military array, an unimaginably large giant chariot was floating in the air, slowly moving forward.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the spears and halberds on it were too conspicuous, it would feel more like a mobile palace. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace, because there are no sergeants on it, and the layout inside it is also extremely magnificent.
In the large, luxurious "carriage", only two people sat safely.
One is a man, dressed in Taoist robes and gorgeous clothes, in the prime of life, with a thin body, a delicate face, eyes closed, and meditating cross-legged; Beside him was a young girl, twenty-eight years old, with a beautiful face, dressed in green clothes, and angry at the corners of her eyes.
The girl kept chattering endlessly, and when she got to the emotional place, she danced and beat her chest and stomped her feet; And the man remained silent, as if deaf to him.
"Senior brother, are you stunned to practice martial arts? Anyway, I want to say something. Your cultivation is far above mine, and you must help me well on this trip to Kanto; That bad old man who robbed me of my 'hostage treasure', I must beat him all over the ground looking for teeth. Seeing that the man ignored her, the girl immediately became coquettish, grabbed the man's arm, and shook up and down.
"Alright, alright, this trip to Kanto is extremely dangerous, and it is definitely not what you think it is. As for the old man who snatched your "hostage", according to your description, nine times out of ten it is Qin Lie, the contemporary patriarch of the Qin family. When it comes to cultivation, I am not much better than him; Moreover, according to some reports, the Qin family has suffered a great change, and it is not yet known whether Qin Lie is dead or alive. The man, who was probably annoyed by the girl's entanglement, shook off her arm, still closed his eyes, and said impatiently.
"If he dies, count him lucky; Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of my aunt and grandmother, I will definitely make him unable to survive and die. The girl gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"Ding!" I only heard a crisp sound, and the girl said "oops".
"Senior brother, why are you beating me?"
"A dignified disciple of the Heavenly Master, idle all day long, behaved obediently, and spoke foul language, not to mention that he is not worthy of my identity as a 'Heavenly Master Dao', even if he is far inferior to an ordinary small family girl." The man's eyes were closed as usual, his expression changing from gentle to serious, and his brow furrowed.
"Senior brother, you not only beat me, but also scolded me, humiliated me, and hit me." The girl suddenly put on an expression of extreme heartache, moved her body and stepped back, and said with a lost face: "Senior brother, since you grew up, you have seen many women in this world, especially the famous Kyoto singer Ye Zhirou, which makes you fascinated and unforgettable. Compared to them, my true temperament is inferior, and I am mistaken for a mess. Senior brother, you weren't like this before, no wonder they all say that men are ruthless, hehe, that's true. β
"You..." When the man heard the word "Ye Zhirou", he suddenly opened his eyes, looked angry, and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, I am just a gentleman's friend with her, indifferent as water." Although he said this, the flush spread from his neck to the base of his ears.
"Hehe" The girl responded with a sneer, not saying much, but her face was full of "I understand" expressions.
"Don't look at me like that." The man was panicked by the girl's eyes, and after scolding, he quickly closed his eyes again.
"If you can't say it, just hide, my good brother, you've always been like this." The girl continued to taunt, disdain on her face.
The man didn't say a word, but simply turned around, closed his eyes, and turned his back to the girl.
After a long time, the girl was already yawning in boredom, but at this time, the man was the first to speak: "The kid you held hostage last time is called 'Xu Sheng', right?" β
"Ah, yes, that kid named Xu Sheng must have a lot of secrets, and there must be a treasure hidden in the coffin behind him." When the girl heard the word "Xu Sheng", she suddenly fell asleep and said with a bright eye.
"Xu Sheng..."The man read softly, and only said leisurely after a long time: "If it is really as you say, then Xu Sheng may be more important than Qin Lie." On this trip to Kanto, I don't know if I can meet it? β
"Sure, he's my hostage." The girl grinned, and a "silly boy" face suddenly appeared in her mind.
The chariot continued to float in the air, and the neatly arranged soldiers continued to move towards the "Land of Destiny", and together, they were getting closer and closer to their goal......
In the evening, the sentry, who was napping, inadvertently glanced into the distance; Then, he woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the unbelievable scene!
Dense black dots covered the mountains and stretched into the invisible distance.
"Enemy attack!"
He shouted desperately at the top of his lungs, and at the same time lit a beacon fire in the midst of his scramble!
Here they are, at last!
