Chapter 177: Demon Immortal!
Hearing Meng Tian say this, the people around him noticed that the neighborhood was too quiet, not only that, but they didn't even see the shadows of animals.
The soil here is fertile and the plants are rich and diverse, which should not be.
"There must be a demon when something goes wrong, notify it, be vigilant, and be sure to pay attention to the movements around you."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of thin ropes in the bushes not far away, as if something was rapidly approaching the team.
Meng Tian immediately stopped, his eyes crossed with vigilance, and he suppressed his voice and said, "Everyone be careful, there is a situation!" β
The soldiers behind him immediately formed a simple military formation, attacking and retreating, and slowly wrapped around the bushes in a fan shape.
As Meng Tian glanced at him, more than a dozen soldiers took their weapons and cautiously approached the half-human-tall bush.
The bushes shook more and more, and when Meng Tian gave an order, more than a dozen soldiers immediately stabbed down, but they were in the air.
said that it was too late, and several black shadows rushed to the face, almost knocking everyone over on their backs, and when they looked at it, it turned out to be a few badgers, and there was a false alarm, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as I put my heart down, I heard a rumbling sound not far away, and it seemed that even the ground was shaking.
Meng Tian frowned slightly, "What's going on?" β
The war horse under him suddenly neighed, as if sensing something, and seemed a little restless.
I only heard an exclamation from the team, "General, look over there!" β
Meng Tian followed the sound and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, only to see the dust fluttering in front of him, and between the dust, several black shadows were particularly obvious, and they were creatures such as jackals, tigers and leopards!
And after that, there are wild boars, hyenas, foxes, and other creatures, and at a cursory glance, there are hundreds of them!
There are carnivores, and there are herbivores, many of whom are naturally opposites, but now they are able to live in harmony and treat each other as nothing, which is truly breathtaking.
"This, what's going on?"
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, and their expressions were incredulous.
"Could it be that there is something drastic in the mountains?"
Animals are sensitive by nature, and if they encounter a ground dragon turning over, or a mountain fire breaks out, they will sense it in advance and make some abnormal moves, which is also understandable.
But the scene in front of me is too peculiar, and the road is not the way down the mountain.
Meng Tian and they came all the way, and nothing unusual happened.
"General, what do you think of this?"
Meng Tian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he pondered for a moment and said, "These animals are all heading towards the east, could it be that there is something strange over there?" β
"Let's go over and have a look."
The team was attached to the back of these animals, keeping a certain safe distance, and if there was really any movement ahead, Meng Tian's army would be able to prepare as soon as possible.
These animals were sequenced, and there seemed to be something commanding them in the dark, and Meng Tian set off a little wave in his heart.
The trees were deep and the jungle was thick, and soon the animals stopped, as if there was something in front of them that made them fearful, and they all lowered their heads and made a prostrate posture.
No animal is exempt, not even the majestic king of beasts, the big white-fronted worm, docile as a kitten, with its hideous head lowered.
This scene fell in the eyes of Meng Tian and the others, it was really unbelievable, they actually saw piety and respect on the faces of those beasts.
"What are these animals doing?"
"Are they kneeling?"
"This big insect is the most ferocious, and it would make such a gesture?"
Meng Tian and the others cautiously moved forward, only to see these animals in a circle, and in the center, vaguely saw a strange building, I don't know what it was used for, the appearance is very exquisite, and the eaves are carved with intricate totems and symbols.
Most of the buildings of the Qin Dynasty are brick and wood structures, the color tone is relatively simple, the style tends to be rough, and the look is magnificent, which is completely different from the buildings in front of you.
"What kind of building is this, do you recognize it?"
In the face of Meng Tian's inquiry, the others shook their heads, "No, this building is so strange, it doesn't even have a tile, why is its eaves like this?" β
"This place is close to Chudi, could it be the unique architectural style of Chudi?"
"No way, the buildings in Chudi are not like this."
"I've never even seen the words on it, what country is this writing, so peculiar in its twists and turns."
After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the book was the same text, the car was on the same track, and there were very few other languages, and it was this kind of writing that had never been seen before.
Everyone talked about it for a long time, and they didn't know the origin of this building, there were no Taoist priests in the Qin Dynasty, so there would be no Taoist temple, and Meng Tian and others naturally had no way of knowing.
Meng Tian couldn't help but mutter, "How could such a building appear in the deep mountains and old forests, it is really strange, everyone must be careful." β
Whatever the origin of this building, it seems strange to appear here, it is not small, it has obviously existed here for some time, and the local officials did not even find out and report it, which makes people think deeply.
The most puzzling thing is the animals, those animals are motionless, maintaining a kneeling posture, coupled with the dim environment around them, which is a little more eerie.
As soon as the mountain wind blew, through the hollow mountains, it was like a ghost crying, and it was creepy to hear, and goosebumps appeared on the body.
"Could it be the means of those Fang Shi Chu people and the like? If that's the case, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to deal with. β
This place is close to Chudi, Chu is mountainous, there is a mountain ghost in ancient times, and the mountain ghost is not a ghost, but a person, but lives in the deep mountains, eats and lives with animals, and has the ability to command the beasts.
Hearing this, Meng Tian lifted his eyelids and looked at the soldier who spoke, looking a little disdainful.
"It has been recorded that the Qin State Wu'an Jun attacked Chu, the enemy was in Xiling, the Chu people were not invincible, but the aliens ordered the beasts, attacked and harassed the Qin army day and night, the Qin army was terrified, and the soldiers rumored that Chu really had a genus of immortals, Wu Anjun was furious, and he built a dam upstream, flooded the beasts, and became the food of fish and turtles."
Meng Tian looked at the scene not far ahead, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the light in the depths of his eyes was unpredictable, "You said that if Wu Anjun was here, how would he react?" β
The soldier's expression was a little stunned, and then he reacted, "Naturally, he is fearless." β
Meng Tian and the others have killed many monks, but they have never seen any miracles, and they will even cry and beg for mercy when they are dying, they are just ordinary ordinary people.
If there is any miraculous ability, it will be used a long time ago, why would it end up like this.
If there was still awe of the Immortal Fangshi and the like before, but after seeing so many Fangshi embarrassed appearances and killing many Fangshi, there is not much left of this awe.
"That's what I thought!"
The moment the words landed, Meng Tian untied the battle robe behind him, the red cloak swayed, like a flag swaying, blown by the wind and hunting, Meng Tian's figure was even taller than set off.
Great Qin Shangyong, whether it is a general or a soldier, has a heart that fights with blood.
"The first emperor has an order, all the people of Daqin, the scholars of Fang die! Those who are called immortals, die! Those who are called supernatural beasts are dead! β
As the last word fell, Meng Tian's body exuded a majestic murderous aura, as if Jin Ge was coming from an iron horse, and the animals that had originally bowed before turned around.
In the dim light, their bodies loomed, only the ghost-like eyes flashed with inexplicable anger, as if they understood Meng Tian's words.
Obviously, the beasts were still calm before, and they didn't find any trace of them, but after Meng Tian said this, he turned around neatly.
Such a picture brings a great visual impact to everyone.
One soldier couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "I, how do I feel, this group of animals seems to understand." β
"It's just a coincidence, how can these brutes understand human speech."
At this moment, they have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Meng Tian's eyes flashed with contempt, "Even if you understand, it's just a herd of beasts, and when I cut them down under the horse, I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost." β
There were only more than a hundred beasts in front of him, Meng Tian's team was well-trained, and they were iron-blooded divisions, as long as they killed those large beasts, the rest would naturally be fine.
The moment the words landed, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and when the dust was flying, even the sky was mostly covered.
This kind of movement is a little familiar with just now, so it's hard to imagine that another beast is coming!
This thought came to his mind, and he saw black lightning galloping forward, tearing a hole in the reckless mountains, Meng Tian stared at the front, like thunder in his mind.
It's a herd of beasts again!
The animals of the whole mountain are gathered here, and the number of white-fronted insects alone is enough to have dozens of them, not to mention wolves, leopards, and wild boars.
"Whoaβ"
There was an unknown movement overhead, and the birds and finches flapped their wings, obscuring the sky and the sun, and could hardly see the light, standing on the treetops, only the countless eyeballs, like stars in the sky, staring at them without blinking, almost making people have nothing to hide.
An unknown number of birds and beasts gathered here, surrounding Meng Tian and them, which can be said to be in a dilemma.
The words he said before seemed pale and powerless at this moment, just like Meng Tian's face now.
"General, what is the matter now?"
The voices of the soldiers next to him pulled Meng Tian's thoughts back.
Before, he was sure to deal with these animals, after all, the Qin army's iron-blooded army was not a joke, but with such a number, it was simply impossible to strangle them.
No matter how powerful the phalanx is, there are still soldiers, they can't resist such a large number of beasts, not to mention that there are several large beasts inside.
Meng Tian was faintly uneasy in his heart, he guessed that there would be capable people who would drive a hundred beasts, but such a large number was really beyond his prediction.
This is no longer a herd,
It's a beast tide!
What kind of person can drive so many beasts, is it really human beings who can do it?
What kind of person is this person!
Many doubts appeared in Meng Tian's heart.
The green and faint beast pupils stared at Meng Tian's team, their sharp claws and fangs flashing with a cold light, as if they would attack them in groups as long as they made any abnormal moves.
But if you sit back and wait to die, I am afraid that you will not escape the end of your life.
Meng Tian pondered for a moment, his eyes carrying the determination of a strong man, "Soldiers, pick up the weapons in your hands and follow me to fight a bloody path!" I, Da Qin boy, can die in battle, and I must not bow my head to these beasts! β
The other soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands and were ready to die, the disparity in combat effectiveness between the two sides was huge, and their chances of victory were very small, but if they could break out of the encirclement, they would not be completely annihilated.
"Fight to the death!"
Just as the two sides were tense, a low and ethereal male voice seemed to come from the Nine Heavens, "Since you have come here, it is a matter of chance, and put down your swords and guns." β
Sure enough, there are other people here!
The man who said this must be the one who manipulated these beasts!
Meng Tian was shocked in his heart, and said quietly: "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is." β
At the critical moment of life and death, he was curious about who could have such great ability.
"Come in and talk about it."
Meng Tian looked at the mysterious building and made sure that this person was inside.
Losers don't lose battles, even if they are at a disadvantage at the moment, the arrogance on Meng Tian's body does not allow him to show a timid look.
When the people around heard this, they were a little worried, "The general must not!" In case of fraud, the general may be worried about his life. β
Meng Tian looked at the animals around him, his expression was a little jealous and solemn, "Do you think that if I don't go, there will be no danger to my life?" β
"What's more, if he wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago, so he didn't have to go to such great lengths."
Meng Tian tentatively took a step forward, it was strange to say that those animals who were eyeing each other really retreated to the side, and the originally airtight encirclement quickly gave way to a road.
Everyone looked at this scene and looked surprised again.
"Generalβ"
Under the worried gaze of everyone, Meng Tian walked into the beast tide step by step, and the other soldiers subconsciously held the hilt of the sword, as long as these animals had any abnormal movements, even if they were out of the way, they would save Meng Tian back.
The animals were all very quiet, like puppets, but the blinking pupils and sharp fangs indicated that they were not harmless like puppets.
Meng Tian has gone through countless battles and wandered on the line of life and death several times, so it can be said that he is well-informed, but he has never had such a strange experience.
Weave through the tide of beasts.
The path in the middle is very narrow, and those hideous beasts are close at hand, and they can even clearly smell the fishy smell coming from their furs, as long as they want, they can easily pounce on them, and it is only a matter of time.
No matter how good a person is, he can't react.
Even if Meng Tian was not afraid, his breathing suddenly became rapid at this moment, and his pace was not as steady as usual, regardless of fear, when facing the threat of death, the human body would have an instinct.
He felt a coercion in his heart, but it was not brought to him by these beast tides, but from the mysterious building.
Seeing that strange building getting closer and closer, Meng Tian's heart was like a drum.
With a creak, the quaint door slowly opened, Meng Tian looked over, but there was no one inside, and after hesitating for a moment, he still stepped into it.
In front of you is the atmosphere of antiquity, as if the history has been lifted to the dusty corner.
I thought that the structure on the outside was amazing enough, but I didn't expect that there was a hole inside.
As far as the eye can see, there is a mysterious atmosphere everywhere, the walls are carved with patterns and symbols that Meng Tian can't understand, and even the paintings on them are not like ordinary people's handwriting.
The colors are brilliant and lifelike, as if they are about to come to life.
The words and paintings that do not belong to the Qin Dynasty seem to Meng Tian to be like a wordless heavenly book.
He asked himself that although he was not a well-informed person, he had seen a lot of things from south to north, but the scene in front of him was beyond his expectations.
Even if the most powerful craftsmen of Great Qin were gathered here, they would not be able to build such ingenious buildings.
The doubts in Meng Tian's heart became heavier and heavier, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Could it be that there really are quite capable Fangshi and the like in this world today?
"I am Meng Tian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, not only who your Excellency is, can you come out and see it."
His tone has long since lost the disdain and contempt he had at the beginning, and there is even a little respect in it.
"It turned out to be General Meng."
Hearing this tone, it seemed as if he knew him, and Meng Tian couldn't wait to follow the sound and look over, wanting to see who the sacredness was.
However, what caught my eye was a big snake with an emerald green body!
I saw that the scales on its body looked extremely hard, like jade and jade, exuding a faint light.
The moment he saw this big snake, Meng Tian actually had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to prostrate and bow, a majestic coercion, pressing heavily on his armor, like mountains and seas, and the bones in his body actually felt like they were crushed.
Meng Tian has never been afraid, he was born and died, experienced countless battles, and the only person who made him feel fear and respect was the First Emperor.
But now he actually sensed such emotions in a snake, which was really ridiculous, and he fixed his mind and only thought that he was affected by the surrounding environment.
At this moment, Meng Tian didn't realize that the snake was talking, thinking that this rather strange green snake was also controlled by someone, "Where is Your Excellency?" β
If you want to give him a shock, then this person has already done it.
"I'm right in front of you."
Looking around, there was no one in front of him, only the green snake existed.
Looking at the pair of jade-like beast pupils, as if at the bottom of the unfathomable abyss, Meng Tian's eyes widened, revealing an unprecedented gaffe.
"I see!"
originally thought that the other party would be Fang Shi Yiren and the like, but he didn't expect that the other party was not a person at all, but a snake!
The strange place before has finally been explained.
Even if there are beast masters, they can't control so many beasts, and there is an inexplicable sense of awe and fear that I felt from the big snake before.
Meng Tian set off a monstrous wave in his heart, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe such a thing at all.
At this moment, the Qin army stationed outside saw that Meng Tian had not returned, and his mood became up-and-down.
"The general has been gone for so long, and there has been no movement, so something must have happened, right?"
"The general is brave and invincible, there is a husband in charge, and there is no trend of ten thousand people, there should be no problem in the future, and these beast tides have not moved yet."
"I can't say that, what if there is an ambush in this strange building, maybe the general is now in a different place."
At this moment, the army's heart has floated, and the other general is also Meng Tian's henchman, and he can't sit still anymore at this moment, "No, I have to go and see what's going on!" β
As his voice fell, many people agreed.
Another veteran general stopped him, "You are too impulsive, if you rush to go at this moment, let alone save the general, even we have to be here, if the general knows, he will definitely not want to see this situation." β
The young general couldn't hold his breath, and said angrily: "Then we can't wait here and do nothing." β
At this moment, the team is divided into two factions, one is the main battle, planning to fight a bloody way and rescue Meng Tian, and the other is the main peace, feeling that things have not reached the worst yet, and plan to see the situation again.
Just when everyone was arguing, the beast tide in front of them moved, and I saw those beasts once again stand in two factions and split into a small path.
Their familiar figures appeared in the trail.
The crowd shouted excitedly: "It's the general!"
Seeing Meng Tian come back intact, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that Meng Tian's state looks a little strange at this moment, the three souls have lost their five souls, and some souls don't know what to think, so that everyone shouted several times before coming back to their senses.
A pair of tiger eyes burst out with an unprecedented light, "Let's go!" β
Everyone looked at the animals around them, and said with some fear: "But these beasts ......"
Meng Tian's tone was firm, "Don't worry, they won't hurt us." β
It is also strange to say that when they saw Meng Tian's army leaving, those beasts really turned a blind eye and returned to their previous appearance, and their hideous beast heads bowed to the ground, full of piety and fear.
It can be said that they turned a blind eye to the behavior of the army, and when they saw such a spectacle again, an indescribable strange feeling appeared in everyone's hearts.
Meng Tian's state looked even more strange, and halfway through the walk, everyone realized that this was not the way to Taixian at all.
"General, aren't we going to Taixian?"
The original march plan was to go to Taixian to strangle Fang Shi.
Meng Tian shook his head, his expression was still a little excited and excited, "Let's go back to Xianyang!" β
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that they had misheard, "Back to Xianyang?" But we haven't completed the task assigned by the First Emperor. β
If you go home halfway, I'm afraid you will be punished.
"I have more important things to report to the First Emperor."
This is not like Meng Tian's style of acting, everyone felt a strange sense of disobedience in him, if it weren't for the fact that the appearance of the person in front of him had not changed, they almost thought that Meng Tian had been given a bag.
And the source of all this change was when Meng Tian entered that strange building.
Some soldiers couldn't hold back the curiosity in their hearts, and couldn't help asking: "The general dares to ask what you see in the Taoist temple." β
Recalling all the things in the Taoist temple, Meng Tian finally calmed down and became excited again, "I saw the demon fairy!" β
οΌοΌοΌ
Hearing these two words, everyone showed a look of disbelief, and thought they were having auditory hallucinations.
"General, what are you talking about?"
No one in the army knows that Meng Tian doesn't believe in gods and ghosts the most, and he hates it the most in his life, and now when he hears these two words from his mouth, it is really a bit mysterious.
"The general should not be fascinated by the likes of the Inhuman Fangshi, if the First Emperor blames him, what should I do?"
Meng Tian's expression was slightly cold, and his black eyes exuded a terrifying light, making people dare not look directly at him, and he returned to the previous general who everyone was in awe of.
"General Ben knows what he is doing, and if the First Emperor blames him, General Ben will bear it."
All the words have been said to this point, and it is difficult for everyone to say anything more.
Along the way, Meng Tian disliked that the march was too slow, and he couldn't wait to rush to Xianyang, leading several teams of guards to follow the path, which can be said to be wearing the stars and the moon, and finally came to Xianyang.
β¦β¦
The palace of the king of Qin, at this time it is already ten o'clock in the sunset, the magnificent scale of the building is shrouded in the sunset, is plated with a layer of faint black light, purple pillars and golden beams, all extremely luxurious.
It's all the same outside, but it's even more so inside the palace.
The ground paved with fine white jade shines with a warm light, the floating window jade carved from the green tiles makes the interior transparent and bright, the South China Sea pearls are the curtains, and the crystal jade is the lighting, which sets off the place like daytime.
The pillar of the hall is round, between the two pillars is connected with a carved dragon, the tail of the dragon goes straight into the hall, the head of the dragon is facing the throne of the dragon carved with gold lacquer, and the person sitting on it is Qin Shi Huang!
A black robe, embroidered with a red beast pattern with gold thread on the chest, even the hem and cuffs have auspicious cloud patterns, long black hair is raised high, and a crown is worn on the head, a red gem is inlaid in the center of the crown, and the tassels hang down on both sides.
"Report! General Meng Tian is asking to see you outside! β
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang was holding bamboo slips, focusing on dealing with government affairs, and when he heard the report of the inner servant, he raised his head from the bamboo slips piled up like a hill, and his expression showed a little doubt.
If he remembered correctly, Meng Tian was ordered to kill Fang Shi, and it stands to reason that he should not have returned to Xianyang so soon.
He said lightly: "Announce him to enter the temple, nearly twenty steps!" β
"No."
But for a moment, Meng Tian, who had already taken off his armor and blade, bowed his head and entered the hall, silently counting in his heart, and bowed to the dragon chair Yaoyao, no more, no less, exactly twenty steps.
"Greetings to the First Emperor."
A dark light flashed in Qin Shi Huang's eyes, "I ordered you to strangle Fang Shi, how did you do this?" If you are like today's scholars, can you wipe them all out? β
I remember that before Meng Tian set off, he once made a bold oath that he would never return to Xianyang Palace if he did not strangle the world's scholars.
Qin Shi Huang's tone was neither light nor heavy, but with an invisible pressure, Meng Tian was almost out of breath, and his body bent even further.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I have never ....."
Qin Shi Huang's gaze was deep, as if he was hiding a giant beast that chose people to devour, and said word by word: "Then why did you come back?!" β
"General Meng had better give me a reasonable explanation."
Qin Shi Huang's voice did not distinguish between joy and anger, but those who knew him well knew that he was already on the verge of anger.
Meng Tian's body trembled, and he hurriedly crawled on the ground, "Your Majesty, when the minister went to Taixian to strangle the Fang Shi, he suddenly encountered the gathering of beasts in the mountains, and his heart was different, so he pursued it, and saw strange buildings in the mountains, thinking that someone was pretending to be a ghost, and he didn't think about .....it."
Hearing his story, Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but be a little interested, "Didn't you think about anything?" β
Meng Tian swallowed his saliva, "I never thought to meet a demon fairy inside!" The herds were also attracted to him. β
The moment the words landed, there was a dead silence in the air, and the sound of a needle landing could be heard in the silence at this time.
The expression of the attendant next to him was as if he had seen a ghost, and his eyes widened in disbelief, as if Meng Tian had said extremely rebellious words.
Nowadays, Qin Shi Huang has been extremely disgusted with the words of the gods and gods and monsters in the mountains and wilderness, and he is eager to kill all the people in the world, and it has reached the point where others are not allowed to talk about it.
Now Meng Tian's words are undoubtedly teasing the tiger's whiskers, and it is no wonder that the inner servant has such a frightened expression.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Qin Shi Huang's voice still sounded calm, and the dark eyes were turbulent, and a large cloud of shadows had accumulated, like the calm before the storm, which made people shudder.
Meng Tian also felt the huge coercion, and the terrifying gaze swept over his head, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "The minister knows." β
"Bang!"
With a piercing golden sound, a cold light appeared in the air, and I saw Qin Shi Huang pull out the sword at his waist, and the tip of the sword pointed at Meng Tian.
