Volume 2: Lotus and Dragon Lying Chapter 134 A Heavy Refining Yuan
A pair of leather boots stained with blood and dirt stepped on the charred earth, looking around at the scene like purgatory on earth.
His blood-red eyes showed a look of disbelief, even though he had participated in many wars, killed many people, and his hands were soaked in blood, but seeing this scene in front of him, he still couldn't believe his eyes, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
While they were guarding the main road to the clouds, the main force of the coalition army had already waged a bloody battle with the Luan army in this fortress, and although they had been victorious, the battle was very tragic.
The torn banner was now stuck diagonally in the crack of the stone, swaying weakly, the remaining flames slowly burning, and the bladed spear was messily inserted upside down on the ground, and the blood stained on it had long since dried up and solidified.
Some of the tattered armor was buried under the earth along with its owner, and the rest was visible on the surface, either the flesh was blurred and the bones were faintly visible, or it was obvious that they had been dismembered by heavy weapons, and the corpses were separated, which was so horrific that there was hardly a complete corpse as far as the eye could see.
Xing Xuan gasped and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, at this moment, he really understood what the cruelty of war was.
Not only that, but along the way, the villages he passed through were empty, and the county was full of hunger, and he saw people traveling in groups, who had been displaced by the war and had to leave their homes.
In some villages, there are many corpses of old people and children, according to Changsun Jing, the old people and children who did not have time to evacuate with the Luan army were beheaded by the Luan army because they would slow down the march process, and other young men and women were all captured by the Luan army, or used as soldiers or coolies to build military facilities.
They even bumped into some soldiers of the coalition army, all of them were facing the people with swords, burning and looting, although those soldiers were executed on the spot under the leadership of Changsun Jing, but Xing Zhen fell into deep thought when he saw this.
"Why is this happening. Xing Xuan seemed to be asking Changsun Jing a question, and he also seemed to be asking himself.
He was grieving because of the death of the crow, but Yunzhou was full of grief and wailing at the moment, parents lost their sons, women lost their husbands, children lost their fathers, people lost their homes, everywhere, was full of fear and sorrow of death.
"War is like that. Changsun Jing said, looking at Xing Xuan, Amon and Chen, "This time you can stay in the big camp, after all, you have also gone through a series of wars, and it is the same to take a rest from the big camp to the clouds, but the old man thinks that it is better to let you come with the army and take a look at the whole picture of the war." ”
"In war, it is not only the soldiers who charge who die, and the war is not only the stories full of pathos and justice in the drama, but also the endless cruelty, the darkness of human nature, the fleeting life and destruction. ”
Xing Yu on the side secretly endured the strong discomfort, this feeling did not come from emotion, but like frost and rain, wind and sun, it was the invasion of the outside world.
Under the intrusion of this discomfort, Xingxi's Yuan Force gradually became agitated, and the black and red thunder and lightning could not be suppressed and jumped on the palm of his hand.
Although he didn't lose control, Xing Zhen had to hold his breath and concentrate on dealing with it at this time.
"Brother Xin?" Chen was the first to notice Xing Xuan's abnormality, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't come near me!" Xing Xuan shouted, Chen was suddenly startled, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Hearing this, Eldest Sun Jing turned his head and saw that Xing Xuan was trying to suppress his Yuan Force, and hurriedly strode towards him.
"What's wrong?" said Eldest Sun Jing, grabbing Xing Xuan's wrist with his big hand, wanting to find out.
With a loud bang, the black and red thunder and lightning in Xing Zhen's hand suddenly burst out, and Changsun Jing was startled, but before he could react, he was shocked alive.
Looking at the thunder and lightning that spread like a poisonous snake towards everyone, Changsun Jing hurriedly formed a seal in his hand, and a formation enchantment shining with runes suddenly rose to contain the burst of thunder and lightning.
With the help of this formation, Xing Xuan's Yuan Force was also much calmer.
While amazed by this powerful Yuan Force, Changsun Jing's hand glowed with golden light, wanting to find out.
As he gripped Xing Zhen's wrist, he seemed to see many, many unjust ghosts roaring angrily at him with their bloody mouths wide open.
"Resentment?" Eldest Sun Jing looked at Xing Xuan in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
But it seems that only resentment can explain Xing Xuan's power that even he can shake away just now.
Resentment is an obsession that still lingers in the world of people who died tragically and unjustly, unwilling to die, and resentment is not dispersed, here they happen to be in Yuelin Castle that has just gone through a big war, the battle is tragic, and there are many casualties.
This kind of thing has happened before, but it mostly occurs at midnight, and the probability of happening is quite low, and it is commonly known as the descent of evil spirits
But what is puzzling is that at this time, thousands of resentful thoughts found Xing Zhen at the same time, and what is even more amazing is that they did not dominate Xing Zhen as before, but were suppressed by Xing Zhen's concentration.
Under the flow of golden light in Changsun Jing's hand, the black and red thunder and lightning that were stimulated in Xing Jing's hand dissipated, but Changsun Jing's eyes looked at Xing Jing with more doubts.
It's no wonder that even if his eldest grandson Jing has lived for so many years, he has never seen such a scene.
This son has an unknown secret.
"Boom" the huge suspension bridge slowly descended.
Changsun Jing and his men immediately entered the fortress.
Yuelin Fort is backed by mountains, dozens of zhang high, although it is a fortress, but this place also accommodates a considerable part of the people, before the Viscount Lin Jian ruled this place, it is said to be a fortress, but it is better to say that it is an impregnable town.
At least before the war, it was a place of peace and calm.
But since Luan Yan usurped the government, Viscount Lin Jian had to surrender due to his momentum, and under the pressure of Yin Yu, he had to give those orders to expropriate and extort violently, even if Viscount Lin Jian had done everything possible to circle in it, but the people put the blame on his head, the people were centrifuged, and the coalition army came again, and the Viscount Lin Blade, who had been captured in the fortress, had to kill himself in the official residence in a condemnation.
Hoshiro looked around at the crowded streets, and although the vendors were still setting up their stalls, the women were still buying the bread of the day, and the men were still busy, Hoshiro still saw a strong sadness and panic in them.
These people welcomed the arrival of the coalition forces, but they were also afraid of the coalition forces, or rather, war.
"Great General, welcome. The city lord stepped forward and bowed to the eldest grandson Jing.
Eldest Sun Jing nodded in acknowledgment.
"Please come with me, the camp for your army is ready. The city lord said.
"Okay, you lead the way. Changsun Jing said.
On the way, Xing Zhen saw the half-ruined houses, the people who mourned for their families who died on the battlefield, and the many displaced people who had no food and no clothes.
Although the war did not bring a devastating blow to the place, it also caused a lot of devastation.
barrack
There was silence throughout the camp, except for the clanging of the blacksmith's anvil and stove.
It is no wonder that not to mention the strict military orders, the sergeants know very well that this battle will be extremely tragic and unfortunate, and it is inevitable that the camp will be full of such tragic colors.
How many people have been able to fight in ancient times?
Xing Xuan sat quietly in the tent, cultivating Yuan Li trying to calm himself down and not think about those things.
But thinking of his hometown friends waiting for their return, and thinking that he boasted that he would be able to bring them back safely, Xing Zhen couldn't help but be upset.
The crow has died, and the attack on Yunzhong is bound to be another tragic battle, and he is just a captain, and he has more than enough strength to do so.
The only thing that can be done is to pray to Heaven to bless them with safety.
At this time, Xing Xuan suddenly discovered that the Yuan Force chain that wrapped his Yuan Heart was actually loose.
Quenching the body realm absorbs the Yuan Force to strengthen the torso, but is self-sealed by the chain of the Yuan Force, and the strength is no longer what it used to be, this is the price of going against the sky, like a trapped beast, you can only sit and wait for the opportunity, accumulate thick and thin, in order to break through.
Now that the chains are loose, it is time for the opportunity to break through the refining yuan.
Xing Xuan couldn't help but say something, and started immediately
He tried to calm himself down and not think about the things that upset him.
But Xing Zhen still has doubts, why the chains are suddenly loosened.
Could it be that he has misperceived it? Xing Xuan couldn't help but ask himself.
After some hesitation, Xing Xuan still decided not to let go of this rare opportunity, after all, it was not easy to wait for such an opportunity.
With that sparkling, the formation prepared for his own Dharma protector moved, and Xing Zhen was also ready.
After a while, the black-red Yuan Force appeared on the surface of his body, and he seemed to hear the sound of chains shaking, and he also seemed to feel the unwillingness in the depths of his soul to break free from the restraints.
But the picture of the crow's death and the tragic scene of the battlefield still dragged his thoughts.
At this time
Looking at the slightly glowing pill in the small ding, Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with relief.
"Sister Chen, you are an arcane element, these things should be done by a pure elemental elemental element. Leviathan said confusedly.
Chen smiled.
"Actually, I didn't think I would become a meta-master. Chen said slowly, "I don't crave status, wealth, or fame, but since I have the power to bring the dead back to life, I want to help those in need within my ability, do what I want to do, and ......."
"And what?" asked Leviathan.
A figure appeared in Chen's mind, and she smiled, her long brown hair rippling in the wind
"And I want to protect him, too. ”
Leviathan looked at Chen, and was a little stunned.
At this time - in the tent of Xing Xuan
The black and red Yuan Force almost completely enveloped Xing Xuan, and he frowned tightly at this time, clenching his teeth, as if he was enduring great torture.
It's true, at this moment, Xingxi's mind is full of all the sad things he has experienced, his mother who died early, his father who wants to get rid of him, his friend who froze to death in winter, being bullied, Xiaoyu, Bu Crow......
Xing Zhen finally knew what caused the chains to loosen, it was those resentful spirits, those resentful spirits on the battlefield, although he didn't understand why, but Xing Zhen could feel their presence when he first arrived here.
They transmit negative emotions to themselves, shake their hearts, and want to occupy their bodies against the guest, and they must devour them to complete the promotion.
It sounds cruel, but it's true.
"I'm going to protect them. Xing Yan forcefully squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and sweat was already soaking his clothes.
The resentful spirits seemed to appear in front of his eyes, their mouths wide open, and they surrounded him, and the stars could feel their joy.
Suddenly, Xing Xuan seemed to calm down, and Gu Jing Bubo's face and Fang Cai were like two people.
The black-red Yuan Force that surrounded him was much stronger.
He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were completely covered with red, and his face had some more patterns, just like the delicate-looking but dangerous and fierce Shura in the painting.
"Dare to make a mistake!" reverberated around the tent.
Those resentful spirits instantly looked at Xing Xuan in panic, and immediately wanted to escape, but how could that be possible.
The powerful Yuan Force was like a whirlpool, devouring those resentful spirits alive, and under the impact of the wave of Yuan Force that was like a storm for the resentful spirits, the last form they left behind gradually wore away and turned into a part of the Star Yuan Force.
At the same time, Xing Xuan also felt that the chain broke in an instant, and the Yuan Force accumulated for a long time was suddenly as unstoppable as the surging river that burst the embankment, and instantly flowed into Xing Zhen's limbs, and the Yuan Shi suddenly spread out like ripples.
Chen outside was stunned for a moment, felt the violent fluctuation of Yuan Force, hurriedly got up, and ran towards Xingxuan's camp without saying anything.
Leviathan also sensed that something might be happening, and immediately followed Chen.
"Brother Xin!" Chen rushed into the camp, but was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him.
Black Feather ...... How is that possible, that is?
