Chapter 17: The Path of the Heart
After experiencing the blood moth and avalanche just now, everyone's mood was a little sluggish, from the beginning of the mountain full of energy, to now very low, just a day later, I didn't expect the danger of this operation, Xuanyuan Yu expected that there would be sacrifices but also didn't expect such a big one, he only knew from the ancient books at home that if you need to enter the real Ancestor Divine Mountain, you need the blood sacrifice of life, Xuanyuan Yu is not sure if the blood moth that he just faced is a blood sacrifice, in the face of the heaviness of this task, Xuanyuan Yu can't tell others, he can only bear all this silently。
Others are better, after all, it is not a long-trained warrior or Xuanyuan Yu and Dong Yan, two bloodline awakeners who have cultivated since childhood, Li Yi is just an ordinary young man who can no longer be ordinary, twenty-four years of ordinary life, he has never seen death, and the few things he can see cruelty are only car accidents and the like. Now Li Yi is already on the verge of collapse, he is not like what he said at the beginning and dared to sacrifice his life for the sake of the human race, what he shouted verbally and what he really faced are always two concepts.
Li Yi squatted in a corner, his body trembling uncontrollably, in the eyes of those warriors, Li Yi was a yellow-level master with awakened blood, and in the eyes of Xuanyuan Yu and Dong Yan, Li Yi was the son of Li Moqiu, and they called Li Ye's son. And Li Yi is just an ordinary office worker, he just wants to cry now, he just wants to hide in his small room, hide in his bed, and let him destroy the human race in the world. Li Yi is not strong, what he wants now is to give up. It was the officer who noticed that Li Yi was wrong first, and walked to Li Yi's side, and the officer hooked Li Yi's shoulder, I know you are afraid. Li Yi listened to the officer's words, and a burst of fire surged in his heart, why didn't he come up and mock himself for being afraid?
Do you want to hear my story? Li Yi didn't answer yet, and he didn't want the officer to tell his story. I have longed to be a soldier since I was a child, to protect my family and defend the country, my favorite thing to watch since I was a child is the anti-Japanese war movie, of course, it is not the current thunder drama with mines hidden in the crotch, I watched a lively drama when I was a child, and later became a soldier, only to understand the belief of the revolutionary ancestors at that time, the war was so cruel that I dare not imagine, how much beautification the TV series has undergone, at that time, I was not full of food and clothing, and I had the strength to fight with the devil, I was holding a hand** It's a real thing that we don't understand at first, so many lives for a slim victory, until I went to war for the first time, it was in the jungle on the border, the monkeys invaded our border and slaughtered a village, we were ordered to pursue, all the way to face their ** The trap is very difficult for us, watching one by one my comrades fall, I am also confused, I am afraid, I am afraid of death, just when I was stunned, the enemy shot at me, it was my squad leader who pressed me, I was fine, God willing, I was very happy, I looked up and saw that my squad leader was already a piece of rotten meat behind him, my squad leader did not leave a word, what to help him take care of his family or anything, just died in front of me, it was I who killed my squad leader, if the squad leader did not save me, he would not have happened, of course it was me who became rotten meat. I want to run, I don't want to be a soldier anymore, I ended that mission in a mess, the mission was successful, we were all rewarded for our lives, but those who died died died forever. When I came to his home with the squad leader's urn, the elderly parents, just looked at me, the squad leader's mother was silently crying, the father was silent, I was thinking that it was me, I told the squad leader's parents that the squad leader sacrificed to save me, the second elder did not scold me, I don't understand, although it was not my intention but I indirectly killed their only son, the squad leader's mother said to me, she said that she believed in the people his son saved, worth! At that moment, I seemed to understand those people who threw their heads and spilled their blood during the Anti-Japanese War, they were all human beings, they were all afraid, they hesitated, but they knew that they would exchange their lives for something more worthwhile, they had faith, a group of people fell and another group of people stood up, and they won to have us today. When I came here with this mission, I thought that if we could exchange our lives for everyone's lives, it would be worth it. People are afraid, in the face of the unknown, beyond the comprehension, we are afraid, but after we are afraid, we have to move on, we have to exchange our lives for something more valuable.
Li Yi listened to the officer's words and fell into deep thought, yes, Li Yi himself felt that he was an ordinary person, not a soldier or a master, there was always an imbalance in his heart, why should I be an ordinary person to accompany you to save the world, the sky fell and there was a high, Li Yi only now thought that if fate chose him, he would have no way out, if the sky fell if he was that tall, although Li Yi was still afraid, his heart had calmed down a lot, unlike at the beginning when he was still trembling. It turned out that it was their ancestors who threw their heads and spilled their blood, and now it is their turn, and the chain can be dropped, but they must hurry up and continue walking, for nothing else, to let their descendants live under this sky and talk about worshipping what they are facing today.
Li Yi is an ordinary person and does not have firm beliefs, and this incident is a necessary hurdle for Li Yi to grow up. When a person truly has a firm belief, he is likely to reach the end.
Thank you, big brother, I don't know what to call it? Li Yi said to the officer with gratitude, my name is Zheng Qiang, you can call me Qiangzi. Thank you, Brother Qiang, I was really thinking about retreating just now, I really didn't expect you to go through so many things if I didn't listen to your story. It's a small thing, but don't tell anyone, it's not a glorious thing. Zheng Qiang said with a smile, let's clean up our mood and we should set off, before dark, we need to find a shelter to rest for the night, it should not go up at night, it is too dangerous at night.
Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Qiang said that he was leaving, Xuanyuan Yu organized and prepared to set off, and he had to find a place to be stationed before dark, and now it is much easier to find than to start looking, after all, there are fewer people from seventy or eighty people to twelve people now, and after a while, he found a flat ground behind a leeward stone, and simply set up a tent in a group of three to keep vigil in turns, Li Yi was only on duty at night, so he quickly entered the tent and got into the sleeping bag, and fell asleep after a while, after all, he had experienced a double tempering of spirit and body for a day, and he was already tired.
At night, quietly, there is only the sound of the whirring wind outside, Li Yi quietly got out of the sleeping bag, packed up his things, and quietly continued to walk in the direction of the destination, along the way the spring flowers bloomed, Li Yi didn't seem to be climbing the mountain, like a walk, and soon reached the peak, looking around, it was already the highest, Li Yi took out a big black bag from his backpack and poured it into a big stone, the stone was actually moisturized and the liquid that fell down was absorbed into it, and he couldn't see what liquid it was in the night, but he felt that there was a smell of rust in the air。 The stone sucked in the liquid, and it moved slowly. Suddenly Li Yi was woken up, it turned out that he was just dreaming just now, and now it was his turn to go out to watch the night, Li Yi and the two soldiers were not in the same direction, they were guarding one side in each of the three directions. Li Yi sat on a stone, was he dreaming just now? Why is the dream so real, and he doesn't feel dreaming at all, he secretly got up in the middle of the night and went up the mountain by himself, he actually felt that he should take it for granted, now he thinks about it, why would he do something so unreasonable, and what he took, why was he absorbed by the stone when he poured a stone, why did the stone move? In the end, if he hadn't been suddenly woken up, he would have been able to see what would have changed when the stone moved, Li Yi's dream was not an ordinary dream, his dream always showed something, could it be that his dream foretold the road behind? Li Yi couldn't figure out the cause and effect, thinking about it, Li Yi, who had walked around, didn't know what had cut his finger when he stood up, Li Yi hurriedly sucked his finger with his mouth to disinfect and stop the bleeding, and suddenly Li Yi was a little stunned, the rust-like smell turned out to be blood.
