Book 10: Begging for a Lifetime of Sorrow (Ask for Collection)
A wood, with lush branches and green patches, spreads out. In the forest, the hollow valley is quiet, the birds are singing and the insects are singing, and this silence is even more profound.
"Master, has this pit been dug deep enough?"
By a gurgling stream, a coarsely clothed young man with a shovel in his hands was digging a pit in the softly ground. Shovels of loess were thrown out of the pit by the coarsely clothed youth and piled aside.
"In vain, it's not enough, this time it's two people who are buried, and the pit is being dug a little bigger. ”
The old man in the yellow shirt standing on the side of the dirt pit stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said with a smile in the corner of his eyes. It's just that his yellow shirt is a little torn, his hair is a little scorched, and his expression is a little embarrassed.
And under a tree beside the stream, two figures, one old and one young, were tied to the trunk of the tree by five flowers. Their mouths were stuffed with white cloths, and their expressions were filled with anger and whining.
Because he couldn't speak, the two figures, one big and one small, were blushing and thick-necked, and they were furious.
"Okay, master. ”
The coarsely clothed young man who was shoveling soil in the dirt pit suddenly grinned and smiled stupidly, and a little schadenfreude appeared in the corners of his eyes. His face and clothes were stained with a little loess.
For burying people, the coarse-clothed young man is very happy. If he was buried by the old man in the yellow shirt, he would be helpless.
"Huang Laoxi, you old puppet, you drugged and buried people, and tried some indiscriminate means. Let go of me, and the old man will fight you for another 300 rounds. ”
The old man in the yellow shirt was carrying his hands behind his back, his feet were moving, the smile on his face was very strong, and he was very comfortable when he walked.
The old man in the yellow shirt came to the bottom of the tree, stretched out his right hand, and removed the white cloth from the mouth of the old man who was firmly bound. The old man was able to speak, he moved the corners of his mouth, looked at the old man in the yellow shirt with cold eyebrows, and scolded, and his anger was finally vented.
"The old man finally caught you, how could he let you go so easily. If I don't bury you, I'm unwilling!"
The old man in the yellow shirt smiled and shook his head. He put his hands behind his back again, and moved his steps, walking back and forth in front of the old and the young.
"Good. Huang Laoxi, the old man promised you that when your disciples were in danger, I would come to your rescue, okay?"
The old man's face was a little red, his face was red and white, although he was full of anger, he had to compromise. If he was buried by Huang Laoxie in front of his apprentices, then his face would be gone.
"You old puppet, you said this earlier, why did the old man let me dig such a big pit in vain. ”
Huang Laoxie paused, and a pair of eyes flickered, and his gaze was on the body of the tied young man, sweeping back and forth. "Then bury you in vain. This pit can't be wasted. ”
"No need to dig. It's good to bury someone. ”
Huang Laoxie turned around and said something to the dirt pit.
"Okay. Master. ”
As soon as the coarse-clothed young man's words fell, he jumped out of the dirt pit with a shovel with soil in his hand, and walked towards the trapped young man with a smile on his face.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The eyes of the trapped young man were full of horror. Kicking his legs angrily, trying to stay away from the coarse-clothed young man with a wicked smile on his face. But his body was tied to the trunk of the tree, so that he could not retreat.
"Huang Laoxi, you don't want to get an inch!"
The old man who was tied up let out a cry of anger, and the distress gaze from his apprentice made him angry, but the medicinal power in his body had not yet dissipated, and his limbs were a little sore, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of this hemp rope.
"Don't speak, old man. Otherwise, the old man will do it himself, and he will bury you. ”
Huang Laoxie stroked his beard and said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"You ......"
The tied old man was extremely angry, and he could only watch his apprentices being buried.
Zhongzhou, Humen Pass!
"A sword, a person, a pot of wine, a smile and a sorrow. ”
Three days later. Tu Mo, who was dressed in plain clothes, passed through Humen Pass, and finally stepped on the land of Zhongzhou.
Tu Mo, who was walking on foot, had some traces of dust on his plain clothes, and the hem of his clothes was fluttering, but he did not stay in Humen Pass. It's just that between his eyes, his gaze is scattered, and the things in Humen Pass are all under his eyes.
"How sad can you be, just like being displaced in this ruthless war. ”
The war was endless, and at this time, there were many more knights in Humen Pass, wearing hats, and holding weapons. Their clothes were swaying, and they looked a little dusty.
There are two kinds of rivers and lakes in the world. One is the inner rivers and lakes, hidden outside the world, concentrating on practicing martial arts. One is the outer rivers and lakes, in the red dust, fierce soldiers and horses, and swords in the world.
One sword, one person, one horse, I do my own thing. Fluttering clothes, a single figure, only a sword, accompanied by the side.
The love of the rivers and lakes, the meaning of the rivers and lakes.
If there is chaos today, the spread of war has also affected the place where these heroes are staying. The lives were devastated, and the wails were all over the field, which also made them have to appear in this troubled world.
Put his head on his waist, and hold the weapon in the palm of his hand, just to ask for a worldly river and lake from this troubled world.
Treat a passion as a fine wine, just to get drunk in troubled times and sober up in the rivers and lakes.
"Wars are raging, the cycle of karma is repeated, and no one today can be immune from this troubled world. ”
Tu Mo looked around, took a step, and left Humen Pass with his feet raised.
In the peaceful and prosperous era, these heroes are like guests who are shocked, and they will only appear in the red dust. The current Zhongzhou is just a Humen Pass, and there are so many heroes in the rivers and lakes.
These heroes of the rivers and lakes are already living a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife, and there is no discipline at all in their temperament. This also made the aborigines of Humen Pass, who were already hungry, even more worried, and if they were not careful, they would be exposed to the wilderness.
In the red dust, there are only three glasses of wine, and that's it. A cup, toasting people's hearts!
Five Yuan City.
In Wuyuan City, in a tavern with a single name and the word "drunk", the figure is depressed. Tu Mo, who came to the city, was sitting upright in the private room on the second floor of the tavern, his body leaning against the window, his eyes looking down, but his gaze fell on a young man with a sword in his arms and squatting on the side of the street.
The young man was dressed in rags, and in some places there were holes of different sizes. The hem of the garment was dirty and dusty. Some of the hair is messy, casually draped behind the head. And what made Tu Mo notice him was the sword he was holding in his arms.
"Rainbow Sword!"
Tu Mo's fingers were placed on the table, tapping lightly on the tabletop. The hand holding the sword, hanging at his side, hangs in the air.
Rainbow Sword. Among the top ten famous swords in the world, it ranks third.
Tu Mo squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the Rainbow Sword, and recalled a person in his mind, a swordsman who was widely circulated by people, and who was also regarded as the pinnacle of martial arts by people in the rivers and lakes.
A legend.
Ten years ago, the Southern Wilderness sent troops to the Western Regions, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Southern Wilderness stepped in, and where the iron horses and iron hooves passed, a piece of dust was raised that covered the sky. And on the border of the Western Regions, there stood a figure in a white shirt proudly, his left hand behind him, and his right hand clenched a sword, he was a lone shadow under the scorching light.
Only one sword. The white shirt, with only one sword in his hand, scared away tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Southern Wilderness. Since then, the Southern Wilderness has no longer sent troops to the Western Regions, and the white shirt has disappeared, except for only one name, which is widely sung by people.
Nine Shades.
The white-clothed Heavenly Sword, the Nine Shadows. And that heavenly sword is the third among the top ten famous swords in the world.
"I didn't expect to see Jinghong here. ”
Tu Mo retracted his gaze, the civil strife in Central, Tu Mo had come all the way, and he had a general understanding in his heart. "When I came to Middle-earth, the already turbid water in Middle-earth became even more turbid. ”
In Tu Mo's eyes, there were some faint and some deep.
When the water is clear, there are no fish. Some people want to fish in troubled waters, but they don't know if they can get what they want, or they can draw water with a bamboo basket, but in the end they are empty and happy.
Tu Mo sat upright at the table, with the fingertips in his hands, playing with the wine glass, the wine in the cup swayed, but it was not scattered.
Tu Mo was waiting for someone, someone who would help him gain a foothold in Central.
Dongtu.
In the back garden of the Dongtu Royal Court, the snow was like smoke and released the little finch in his hand. "Little finch, you are free to soar through the sky now. ”
"Freedom? What is freedom? The five parts of the world are five cages, and they are just fighting with each other to fight the trapped beasts. ”
Xue Ruyan raised her eyes, looked at the figure of the little finch that had left, and said to herself, her tone was faint, with a hint of touch.
"Ruyan, are you tired of war?"
A graceful and beautiful woman dressed in a golden silk phoenix robe and wearing a phoenix crown stood behind the snow like smoke. She has willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth. She stood with her hands behind her back, like a beauty in a painting. Between a smile and a smile, the beauty is thrilling.
But his face is like frost, and he is not angry and arrogant.
"The son has seen the mother king. ”
When Xue Ruyan heard this, she quickly turned around, and after bowing, she stood beside the beautiful woman.
"Like smoke, the kingship of my Dongtu has been controlled by my daughter for generations. If I am indecisive and sentimental, sooner or later my eastern land will be eaten away by the rest of the Quartet. ”
The beautiful woman came to the white jade railing, stretched out a pair of green jade hands, and gently put them on it, she raised her head slightly, and spoke. "Our daughter's body is not in the eyes of the men who stand at the top, so we must be more thoughtful, our plans must be more perfect, and our methods must be more tough. ”
"The son knew his mistake and asked the queen mother to punish him. ”
Looking at the departing little finch, soaring freely in the sky, Snow Ruyan couldn't help but feel some feelings in his heart. Xue Ruyan lowered her head, but she was secretly blaming herself.
If the people of royal power have these touches, they will also fall into the hands of those people.
"It doesn't matter. Just like you, I used to yearn for freedom. Abandon the royal power and go to live that unfettered pastoral life. It's just that as a king, he does the king's power, and he doesn't let anyone else. ”
The beautiful woman waved her hand, and the attendant maid came to the snow with a rosewood box in both hands. "Ruyan, before dawn today, you went to look for the God Operator, but for the matter of Middle-earth?"
"Yes, Queen Mother. ”
Xue Ruyan took the wooden box held by the maid and said.
"You're a little confused. Although you rushed to find the god operator before the Northern Desert, you didn't know that the Northern Desert White Painting was a scheming person, and he was also the disciple of that person. ”
The beautiful woman turned around, and her gaze fell on the snow like water. "If you plan and then act, you will lose the opportunity. If you are in a hurry for success and profit, you don't weigh the pros and cons, even if you take the lead. ”
"Although you have disrupted the pace of the Northern Desert, you have also exposed yourself to the eyes of the enemy, and your every move will also be restricted. ”
The beautiful woman's eyes looked around, Xue Ruyan did this, but it was also within her expectations.
"The queen mother, what should the sons do next, I hope the queen mother will show me. ”
Xue Ruyan held the wooden box in both hands and bent her body.
"The water in Middle-earth is getting muddy and muddy, like smoke, you remember, the water is clear, there are no fish. Sometimes what the eye sees is not necessarily true. In this world, there are too many people who are false and wronged. ”
The beautiful woman came to Xue Ruyan, opened the wooden box that Xue Ruyan was holding in both hands, and said. "Inside this wooden box, there's everything you want. When you go to Middle-earth, after you fight, it will be the beginning of the whole war. Don't underestimate anyone, the lion fights the rabbit, and still uses all his strength. ”
"Like smoke, remember. ”
As soon as the beautiful woman's words fell, she drove back to the palace, leaving only snow like smoke, and looked at a token lying quietly in the wooden box. "The queen mother, the sons know how to do it. ”
The Southern Wilderness Royal Court.
Laughing in the dormitory.
"Husband, Tu Mo has returned to Zhongzhou now, and the water in Zhongzhou has become turbid, doesn't Husband plan to go to Zhongzhou for a visit?"
Tu Zhiqing held a letter in her hand, and after reading it, she smiled at the absurd sky and said.
"Madame is so desperate for me to go to Zhongzhou, or do you want me to come back with Tu Mo's head?"
With a smile on his face, he was playing with a jade wrench with a golden tiger head in his hand.
"The concubine is just afraid that she will be preempted by the Northern Desert and the Eastern Soil, after all, it is good to catch big fish in muddy waters. ”
After Tu Zhiqing lit the envelope in her hand with a fire fold, she walked to the bed, took off her shoes, and lay on the bed sideways, her eyes wandering, looking at the wild sky and smiling.
The lunch break is a habit of Tu Zhiqing.
"If I can't even do this, how can I be like Zhongzhou as if Zhongzhou is in my pocket?"
Aratianxiao put the wrench on his thumb, spread his palm, and shook it in front of him. "This wrench really makes me happier the more I look at it. ”
"The formation of the white painting of the Northern Desert has been disrupted by the eastern soil, and it will take some time for the white painting to make a new layout. It's just that the snow in the east soil is like smoke, and I want to fish in the water. Not only must we guard against our southern wilderness, but also against the back hand of the Northern Desert, not to mention that there is also a Western Regions watching from the side. No matter how seamless this snow is, it is still the Northern Desert that is directly affected, and this pain is nothing to me. ”
The eyes of the barren sky smile were a little deep, and the smile on his face was a little calm.
"Since the husband is so confident, the concubine will no longer persuade the husband. ”
As soon as Tu Zhiqing's words fell, she closed the curtain and stopped talking.
"Madame had a good dream. ”
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he looked at the bed with the curtain covered. As soon as the words fell, he stood up, walked out of the dormitory, and walked towards the school grounds.
Now Tu Mo has returned to Zhongzhou, although Zhongzhou is currently in civil strife, and Nanhuang has suspended the pace of sending troops. As long as Tu Mo holds the royal power of Middle-earth and quells the civil strife in Middle-earth, it is only a matter of time.
It's just a game of the four sides, putting the battlefield in the middle of the continent, and the strategies are endless, who can win the battle, and the plan is determined in the middle continent.
