Chapter 56: Into the Mortal Dust

The sky is thousands of miles, and the white clouds are ethereal.

Wu Guo carefully sat on the crane's back and raised his eyes to look down.

The Qinchuan Mountains at the end of the 100,000 mountains are tall and steep, undulating continuously, and the nine curves and eighteen bends of the mountain road are like a winding dragon, although the left and right bends are around, but they are also unobstructed.

After Feilai Peak blocked the Qinshui from north to south 10,000 years ago, this turbulent river that originally bent left and right became the only passage to the Hanging Pavilion on the Feilai Mountain Peak!

The vicissitudes of time have passed, and the long and narrow river channel that was originally muddy and sandy has now become a mountain road more than ten zhang wide, under the cover of the green colors on the cliffs on both sides, it is even more bent and dangerous!

The steep rock walls on both sides are like two natural barriers, no matter what monster, as long as you get into it, it will be difficult to fly!

Qinchuan natural risk, nine songs and eighteen.

Carriage canyon, moat cage!

"Guo'er, this nine-curved and eighteen-bend terrain is really sinister, right? Maybe the two ancestors of the Hanging Pavilion took a fancy to this natural danger at the beginning, and finally built the sect on Feilai Peak!" Cai Kaihuai stood leisurely in front of Wu Guo at this time, while driving the crane, he pointed to a plain at the end of the Qinchuan Canyon, and said proudly: "Guo'er, do you say that we are setting up a formation to block the mouth at the final exit of the canyon?" Not only is it conducive to our concealment, but also where we can fully expand the formation, and the demons only have a passage more than ten zhang wide. After that flat land, go up again, and it is Feilai Peak, which is more in line with the backwater...... Hehe, the essence of the soldiers of the First World War. ”

"Uncle Cai, fly back, turn back again, well, fly higher, let me see again!" Wu Guo's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Okay!" Cai Kaihuai drove the crane and flew back with his head in turn.

"Nine bends and eighteen bends, it really lives up to its name! We began to lay out the first formation in the middle of the ninth bend, at the junction of the seventeenth and eighteenth bend......s! No, they must be stopped there!" Wu Guo looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Why?" Cai Kaihuai said.

"Because that's the last elbow bend! The demon cavalry will naturally slow down a little when they pass through every corner; although the mountain pass can be arranged, the demon cavalry has an acceleration distance of several miles of straight roads, and the casualties there will definitely be very large, and they must not be allowed to completely rush up! The Nine Curved Corners are like playing chess and robbing, this robbery is also an ordinary robbery for us, it is desirable or discarded, even if it is abandoned, it can still be desperately blocked at the final exit; and for the Blood Shadow Army, this robbery is a life and death robbery stuck in their throats! If we don't live, we will die! We use ordinary robbery to fight the life and death tribulation of the demon clan, wouldn't we take advantage of it!" Wu Guo pointed down with his finger and pointed at him: " In fact, the canyon passage is so wide, you are deploying 10,000 people outside the mouth at the same time, and the dozens of people who can meet the enemy at the same time! The most important thing is that when the formation is arranged at the corner, only the first few rows of demon cavalry who have just turned half of the curve can see our formation, and although the cavalry behind may hear the shouting and killing in front, they don't know what the situation is in front of them. In this way, let them be annihilated!"

"Guo'er is right!" Cai Kaihuai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Do you want to ambush some archers on the cliffs on both sides?"

"No, Moro has always been cautious, before leading the troops into the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends, he will definitely send scouts to climb the cliffs on both sides! Archers will be found if they are too far away, and if they are too close, they will not be of much use!" Wu Guo didn't think about it, he shook his head and said: "After all, it's just an elbow bend, although the demon cavalry will slow down slightly, but it will also be there in an instant! Besides, if the two thousand blood shadow cavalry are wearing iron armor and rampage, the arrows from above will not be of much use to them!"

"......" Cai Kaihuai was speechless.

"Okay, Uncle Cai, let's go to the lady and close it!" After watching carefully for a while, Wu Guo's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be confident.

Cai Kaihuai was naturally as good as a stream, and flew to the southwest with the crane.

Wu Guo raised his eyes again, and the countless lofty mountains in the 100,000 mountains were even more undulating and endless. Except for a large plain in the middle, the mountains are like countless chess pieces, stuffing the big chessboard between heaven and earth impenetrable.

Niangzi Pass stands majestically at the eastern end of the Great Plains.

Surrounded by mountains, it is like an iron lock across the river, majestic and magnificent, unique.

The crane spirit bird flew extremely fast, and after a while, it swept over the small half of the Niangzi Pass and flew all the way to the west city wall!

Wu Guo looked down carefully, and the huge Niangzi Pass was now empty, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, except for the occasional patrol of soldiers passing by, and the shops on both sides were sparse and lifeless. In addition to the smoke rising from the military camp in the west, the courtyards of the houses were already ten rooms and nine empty, and they were depressed!

The city tower is full of banners, surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, there are three people standing side by side in the middle, on the left is Miao Yiyi, in the middle stands a majestic face, a little crimson eyebrows of the general of the armor, on the right is a long-crowned blue shirt, a little light yellow eyebrows of the middle-aged scribe.

"Uncle Xue, Uncle Baiguan, Guo'er is here!" When the crane was still hovering on the city tower, Wu Guo jumped down impatiently, and first bowed deeply to General Guanjia and the blue-shirted scribe: "Guo'er has been hiding on the snowy mountains in the north all these years and is lazy, it's really hard Uncle Xue! Hehe, and Uncle Baiguan!"

"Guo'er! You're finally here!" Xue Weiyang, the commander of the Death Battle Army, looked at the long-standing Harmful Fruit in front of him, and was so excited that his eyes were full of tears, and he said for a long time: "Okay! Okay! Okay! The last time I saw Guo'er...... It was when we returned to Beijing with the national teacher ten years ago...... Hey! Time flies so fast! In a blink of an eye, Guo'er has finally grown into a man who stands up to the sky...... If the national teacher knew...... If you think about it, you'll ...... Nine Springs with a smile!"

"General Xue, Guo'er came to the border pass for the first time today......" Although Xu Baiguan on the side was also sad in his heart, he still forced himself to hold back, and persuaded with a smile: "Let's not talk about those sad things in the past!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I suddenly saw Guo'er, and I was overjoyed...... Hey, old! When I'm fine, I always like to remember the past......" Xue Weiyang then greeted Cai Kaihuai again, and then turned around and ordered his soldiers to go down to the city to prepare for the banquet.

"No, no, no one, no one is allowed to rob people with the old man today! Uchiko knows that Guo'er is coming today, and she has already cooked it herself, so that's ...... Family banquet!" Cai Kaihuai suddenly became anxious.

Hearing the word family banquet, after everyone looked at each other, their faces showed a profound expression of sudden realization, and naturally they didn't dare to fight anymore.

"Father...... Back then, you stood here every day and looked at the demon land opposite?" Wu Guo slowly walked to the edge of the city wall, pressed his hand to the battlement, and raised his eyes into the distance.

The sky was dark in the distance, and the layers of dark clouds seemed to be painted, and they were always motionless over the sky! From time to time, there were faint sounds of thunder!

The clouds are thick and there is no light of day!

Thousand years of end-of-the-millennium, the land of demons!

It seems to be close to the end of the world, and it seems to be separated by yin and yang forever!

"I've heard Uncle Tiger talk about the dangers and ferocity of the Demon Land...... Now that I look at it from a distance, I have a creepy feeling!" "Looking at it for a long time, as if he was there, Wu Guo took a long breath, as if he immediately smelled a rich smell of blood that was almost choking!

And in the oncoming wind, there is a fierce and incomparable killing atmosphere!

Wu Guo looked around, the bluestones at each battlement on the city wall had been dyed a jet-black color, and he didn't know how many life-and-death battles he had experienced, and how many people's limbs and bones had been stained with blood!

On the plain outside the city, there are scattered half-hidden bones everywhere, which disappear and annihilate little by little under the double destruction of time and wind and sand, until they disappear completely.

It's like a silent elegy that has been sung for thousands of years!

It seems that every lonely soul with dry bones is hiding behind the white clouds in the long sky and watching themselves, feeling themselves, grieving themselves, roaring themselves, the traces that once existed in this world, a little bit of ashes!

Whether the original owner of those dry bones is a human, a demon, or a demon.

There is no difference between the mortal world.
