Chapter 70: Kunwu Town
The sword is out of Kunwu, and the turtle and dragon are in pearl diving.
Bai Zhi and Flame Spirit Ji traveled for a day and night, and came to this famous place, Kunwu Town.
Kunwu Town is a small town located at the foot of Kunwu Mountain, with few people and simple folk customs.
At first glance, it's no different from an ordinary town.
But it is the foundation of the world's fame.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of Zhongshan" has a saying: "Two hundred miles to the west, it is said: Kunwu Mountain, on which there is a lot of red copper." ”
Guo Pu's note: "This mountain is famous for copper, the color is red like fire, and it is used as a blade, and the jade is cut like cutting mud." ”
The reputation of Kunwu red copper can be seen.
In the past, Gou Jian gathered the world's skilled craftsmen, mined the copper of Kunwu, led the water of Yin Mountain, hooked the earth and fire, and cast the world-famous eight swords with the thunder of the sky——
Covering the sun, cutting off the water, turning the soul, destroying the soul, Xuanjian, startling salamander, but evil, really strong.
These eight swords are famous among the Seven Kingdoms, and they have created a number of first-class killers who are rampant all over the world.
Bai Zhi knows the history and is also quite curious about this famous town.
But the two of them entered the town and walked slowly all the way, but they were rarely crowded.
On the streets of Xiaosuo,
Only the wind blows the yellow sand and smoke, and there is no one on the road at a glance.
Bai Zhijian's eyebrows tightened, a little surprised.
He glanced at the Flame Spirit Ji beside him, who didn't seem to be surprised, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice:
"It is rumored that the mountain of Kunwu is the holy land of sword casting in the world, and the sword of the Yue people who dominate the princes comes from here.
It stands to reason that this place should be well-dressed, not to mention shoulder to shoulder.
Why do you and I walk all the way, and there is not a trace of people on the empty streets? ”
The flame spirit is charming, and her every move has its own charm.
At this moment, the jade face of the country and the people is full of sorrow:
"Aftermath descended from heaven, and disasters abounded.
In the era of the Yue people, they lived in this group of mountains and ravines, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, and they were also peaceful and happy.
It's a pity that thirteen years ago, Han Chu invaded Yue, and the Baiyue royal court was broken, causing a catastrophe.
For more than ten years, in order to compete for the status of belonging to the royal family, the nobles of the Yue Kingdom have been extorting and fighting endlessly.
People have been displaced and their homeland has been destroyed by the fighting.
How can this little Kunwu avoid it! ”
Bai Zhi was silent when he heard this, and only looked around, taking a serious look at this extremely desolate town.
Toppled plaques, broken tables and chairs,
There are also sparse iron tools that have been thrown away on the side of the road, which have been repeatedly eroded by wind and rain and become rusty.
The wooden houses have not been cleaned up for a long time, and they have become a nest for all kinds of wild game in the mountains and forests.
The declining sword house has lost its former glory, and the remnant sun is late, and it looks more and more dilapidated......
Such a scene, such a town, he had seen a lot of things in the process of Bai Zhi fleeing all the way south, but none of them touched him so much.
Because this is Kunwu, a place that used to be full of people.
Bai Zhi sighed, his voice a little low: "You, do you hate war?" ”
"War ......"
Flame Spirit Ji murmured softly, her glass-like eyes were inexplicably bright, as if she was thinking about something.
What did she think about?
Maybe it's the fire that burned down the village?
Or was it the wolf smoke everywhere in the Baiyue King City?
Or was it the friends of the Inhuman Mansion who had accepted her, one by one, dying in front of her young man?
……
After a long time, Flame Spirit Ji came back to her senses, and her beautiful eyes were moist with a bit of water.
She looked at Bai Zhi and sighed, "If you have a choice, who wants to be displaced in the war?" ”
Bai Zhi nodded and did not speak.
Fortunately, this woman can still be saved.
I still remember that the first thing the Baiyue people did after rescuing Tianze was to massacre the Baiyue refugees who had been displaced to South Korea.
This incident made Bai Zhi fully recognize the incompetence and cowardice in Tianze's bones under Tianze's arrogant appearance.
And the Flame Spirit Ji was caught in it, which also affected Bai Zhi's opinion of her.
If she is just a devil who is obsessed with life and disregards, then in Bai Zhi's eyes, her fate is at best to become an ornament, a vase.
Fortunately, she did not disappoint Bai Zhi.
For the first time, the boy looked up and looked at this peerless beauty as tall as him.
His lilac starry eyes stared at every inch of the Flame Spirit Ji Yurong's skin, and his voice was slow and firm: "What do you think is the essence of war?" Why are you Baiyue destroyed? ”
The first time she met Bai Zhi's eyes, Flame Spirit Ji realized that this young man was even better looking than she had imagined.
Hearing Bai Zhi's question, she panicked inexplicably and looked away.
Then, a sense of confusion rose in my heart.
The essence of war?
She didn't know, and she never thought about it.
Why did Baiyue perish?
Isn't it because of the invasion of those great powers?
She shook her head in distress, looking at Bai Zhi timidly, her expression slightly cute.
"Damn, this random charm!"
The villain in Bai Zhi's heart jumped straight, and he took his eyes off the beauty's face with difficulty.
In order to hide his embarrassment, he clasped his hands on his chest, stood sideways, looked up at the sky slightly, and acted as a worldly master:
"War never exists just for the sake of killing.
The struggle between the small people is for profit, and the dispute between the princes is in the name, and the war between countries is a continuation of court politics.
More land, more beautiful women, more money, more power......
Careerists will do anything for these worldly desires,
They stirred up the people, and engulfed the families,
The purpose of setting off a boundless blood debt on a battlefield called killing may be just for a piece of jade. ”
He turned his head to look at Flame Spirit Ji:
"Baiyue is no exception.
Therefore, Baiyue's fate is not innocent.
These displaced refugees are just victims of the game between the Baiyue royal family and the princes.
What you believe in is but one of the agents of this starvation. ”
Bai Zhi's analysis is not clever, but for the ignorant Yue Ren girl, it is like a giant fist impact that shatters the three views.
In her eyes, her life was saved by Tianze, and she was Tianze's slave.
Everything she had, including her life, should be given to her master.
But Bai Zhi told her nakedly that everything she believed in was just a joke.
She pursed her lips, dry.
She had the heart to refute, but she opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute it.
Flame Spirit Ji lowered her head and was silent for a long time, she raised her head with some difficulty, and said softly:
"I don't understand what the gentleman said."
Bai Zhi shook his head and ignored her.
Thousands of years of culture are integrated, Chinese and Western philosophies are familiar with the application,
He was the best debater of his time.
Do you not understand, or do you not want to understand, or do you dare not understand?
The answer is self-explanatory.
But Bai Zhi didn't intend to force Flame Spirit Ji to admit it.
He just wants to plant a seed in this woman's heart, then nurture it, ripen it, and slowly watch it grow and sprout in the accumulation of time together.
His starry eyes sparkled, and he glanced at the girl who was silent:
"Master? There is only one and only one of your masters. ”
