Volume 1: The Contest of Life and Death Chapter 9 Grief and Anger
In the Lion Fortress, the main battle group camp in Xicheng District is located in the high wall and deep courtyard, and there are bursts of killing shouts from it all year round, and you can see why the blood song war group is strong!
At this time, the preparation headquarters was in a mess, with tables and chairs turned over, and animal skin secret letters spread all over the ground.
I saw a woman sitting on the high chair in the commander-in-chief's office, followed by several young women.
The woman sat on a high chair and instructed the young women to turn the table and overturn the cabinet.
And outside the command department, there is a group of soldiers and generals who are pushing and shoving, all with bitter faces, with the movements of those girls' hands, each with squeezing eyes and grinning, full of expressions!
"It's over, it's over, Madame, this is really angry, this is a preparation document, and something will happen if it's such a bad practice!"
Someone in the crowd whispered, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise.
"The general said, with the wife making a fuss, there will be no demerits, just watch it!"
Someone whispered a response.
It seemed that the woman sitting in the position of the chief general felt that it was difficult to understand the anger in her heart, so she stood up and said to the soldier outside the door with a blank face: "You take me to the prison, I want to see someone!"
Naturally, it was the general's wife and Lan Ting, the wife of Ling Ling, who came to make trouble, so no one dared to step forward to stop it.
A soldier with a slightly higher position in the crowd stood up hard, bowed his hand and said to Lan Ting: "Madam, no, the last general knows that it is difficult to solve the anger in your heart with such a behavior, but the people imprisoned in the depths of the prison are all violators who have recorded serious mistakes, in case of a mistake, it is difficult for the last general to explain to the general!"
"Explain?" Lan Ting slowly walked up to the soldier who bowed his head and spoke, and said, "If you want to give him a good explanation, then let him come out to see me and give me an explanation!"
The soldier was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on one knee and responded, "Madam! But you are going to the military prison this time, and the last general naturally knows that you are going to make a big mess of the military camp, and the last general will never agree, and I hope that Mrs. will stop!"
Seeing the leading generals kneeling on the ground and begging bitterly, the soldiers behind him also knelt on the ground one after another, shouting in unison: "I hope Madame will stop!"
Lan Ting's pretty face, which was originally cold, heard the pleading of the soldiers, and two lines of tears melted down the corners of her eyes.
"You can let me stop, so should someone stand up and explain what the white sails hanging everywhere in the camp do!"
Emotional, Lan Ting rushed to a pillar with a white mourning sail hanging and reached out to tear it off, stepped on it and shouted: "What is this for, what is this for......
The girls who came with Lan Ting stepped forward one after another, and a group of people surrounded her in the middle, and they all opened their mouths to persuade: "Madam, madam, don't be like this, be careful of your step!"
Lan Ting scolded angrily with tears: "What are you doing, what are you doing, the old lady was also the commander of the army, and she was afraid of flashing her waist when she stepped on the white sails?
The girls didn't dare to say more, and they retreated one after another.
Lan Ting walked to the official general closest to her, reached out and grabbed the officer on his shoulder, lifted him from the kneeling ground, pointed to the white sails hanging around the camp and said, "As the commander of the 12th Northern Garrison Army, you tell me today who this white sail is hung on!"
The official general's cultivation is also in the realm of Dragon Leap, and Lan Ting is only high and not low, but even so, he didn't dare to struggle for the halfest, his face turned blue, and his mouth was hesitant: "Madam, you let go first, this will lose your identity, and the last general will tell you in detail!"
When Lan Ting heard what the official said, instead of letting go, she increased her strength a little and said, "You put forward conditions with me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, the last general will say, the last general will immediately tell the truth to Madame everything he knows!"
Seeing that Lan Ting's face was a little less violent, the Long Yue officer breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Three days ago, there was an accident on the side of the Changlangfang Canyon, and the battle ...... A general has been killed in battle!"
"Speak louder! I can't hear you!"
"Yes! Three days ago, there was a war in the Changlangfang Canyon, and the head of the dark sentry battalion, Gu Hai, and the head of the same level, Yu Sheng, used great strength to shake the bones and cultivate the bones for the Qiu Bihan who successively fought against the deacon Jin Dan of the outer gate of the Immortal Dynasty Sect, and finally the tun chief Guhai took the forbidden thing Flying Fire Meteor with the Jindan monk Qiu Bihan to die together, and the bones were gone.
It seemed that after saying all the words loudly in one breath, the dragon leap officer let out a long breath.
But Lan Ting had already let go of her hand halfway through hearing his words, and the whole person leaned on the stone pillar and burst into tears. As for the general's later words, she couldn't hear them clearly.
In fact, before arriving at the Lion Fortress, Lan Ting had already learned that one of the children she had supported had died in battle, but she didn't know what the person who left was called.
Today she heard it clearly, Gu Hai's name resounded in her ears, isn't that the young man who dares to hold his head high with her every time he makes a naughty mistake!
"Hai'er, my Hai'er, Mother Lan knew that she was wrong, Mother Lan shouldn't have let you enter here back then, you weren't old enough to let you enter the battlefield, Mother Lan hurt you......"
People say that the mother is worried. Lan Ting, as an adoptive mother, has a special affection for Gu Hai, perhaps because she is too naughty and unforgettable, making them not mother and son, but better than mother and son!
The men cried without a loud voice, but they knew their hearts were sad. Women have soft hearts, and there are always times when they can't restrain themselves, but letting go of the sound is a kind of relief for them!
Maybe Lan Ting cried too heartbreakingly, and the slightly younger soldiers behind her also had tears in the corners of their eyes.
This may be what only their younger generation can understand, what is the sadness of the untimely death of the mother!
In this way, Lan Ting leaned against the stone pillar and grieved for a while, and then collected her grief, she tried her best to calm her tone, but she was still trembling: "Where is he buried?"
"On a hill outside the original Changlangfang Canyon!" a veteran replied.
"General Yu Sheng is also there!" this time it was the young soldier who had tears in his eyes before.
Lan Ting looked into the eyes of the young soldier and asked, "Isn't Sheng'er the position of the commander, why do you call him a general!"
The young soldier did not squint his head and did not move, Lang Lang said loudly: "Although the enemy is strong, he is not timid on the spot, and he is willing to give his life for his comrades.
Lan Ting's eyes looked at the young soldier, she saw the depth, the soldier's eyes were extremely reverent for the person he said, this is the reverence of a high-level monk for a righteous hero!
Then Lan Ting turned to look at the guards standing on both sides of the steps of the headquarters and shouted, "You all heard it, who else is not convinced?"
"Whoa!"
Two rows of soldiers fell to their knees and shouted: "We are not convinced!"
Compared to the hustle and bustle in the fortress at this time, the Changlangfang Canyon, which had already turned into a huge ice lake hundreds of miles away, was quieter here.
After the explosion of the Flying Fire Meteor, the scorching waves of fire melted the ice and snow all over the mountain, revealing the rock under the black soil, always using stubborn green weeds to live forever in the cracks of the rocks.
A small hill in the distance escaped the aftermath of the world's extinction and became the only solitary peak here.
A huge cedar tree and dead wood come to life, and the mountain stands proudly, looking from afar like an immortal guiding the way, preaching and chanting. It seems that the phoenix nirvana is near, and it will be reborn in the fire!
On the mountain, there is green smoke curling, and some people cook rice on a fire, and the fragrance of ten miles wafts.
A red lion flag flying in the wind, noisy in the howl of the angry wind.
The people who cooked rice under it always sighed softly, as if they were sorry.
A soldier with a leg injury, walking on crutches step by step down the uneven mountain road down the top, the lunch box in his hand has long been out of temperature, and the weight is only heavy!
Someone in the tent saw the soldier rushing over in twos and threes, and the discerning man reached out to take the lunch box and lifted the lid to find out.
"Ahh
With the man's soft shout, the soldier of the lieutenant position next to him reached out and grabbed the lunch box in the hand of the young general, threw it down the hillside, and shouted angrily: "Is there no better cook in the fortress, all of them are found for Lao Tzu, and the person above does not eat for a day, so change one person a day, and no one will do it!"
The young soldier hurriedly nodded yes, took out his warhorse, stepped on it, and hurried towards the fortress in the distance.
The Ling flying in the sky had naturally seen all of this, and he appeared behind the lone figure sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain.
The young man didn't look back, and said lightly: "Didn't I say it, don't bother me!"
Sensing that the person behind him did not leave, the young man turned his head: "Didn't understand me...... Why are you here!"
This young man is naturally Yu Sheng, who has not yet recovered from his injuries, and only three people in the entire Blood Song Battle Group dare to speak to Zheng Ling like this, one is Lan Ting, who is the wife of the great general, the other is the deceased Gu Hai, and the last person is naturally Yu Sheng.
"Why, can't I come here to have a look?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the open space next to Yu Sheng, and smiled lightly: "Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?"
"Yourself!"
The only thing that responded to him was Yu Sheng's emotionless and ruthless words.
Zheng Ling was not embarrassed, he walked to the stone wall where Yu Sheng was and sat cross-legged, took a wine gourd from his waist, and drank it to himself.
"Ah Hai is gone, are you still in the mood to sit here with me and drink a little wine?" Yu Sheng frowned and asked.
Jing Ling looked left and right, and returned, "Are you talking to me?"
"It's just you and me here, who else can there be!"
"Oh! I thought you wouldn't talk to me after this happened, but I thought too much!"
Saying this, Wei Ling put down the wine gourd in his hand and laughed.
"What are you laughing at!" Yu Sheng asked again.
Ling patted a few drops of wine sprinkled on the placket of his chest and said, "Can I stand in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses like you children and cry?"
Yu Sheng didn't answer, he turned his head and continued to look at the huge ice lake in the distance, as if someone would return from the snow.
One was silent, the other drank freely, and the two of them sat for half an hour!
I don't know if it was drunk or intentional, the wine gourd in the hand of the Ling Ling suddenly fell to the ground, and the wine inside was poured out along the mountain rocks.
"Oops...... Forget it...... Forget it, if you scatter it, you will sprinkle it, and I will respect you as my half-old father!"
Yu Sheng squinted at him and said in a deep voice: "Compared to Ah Hai, you are still far behind!"
Zheng Ling naturally knew that Yu Sheng was talking about him on purpose, and he didn't care, and patted the dust on his hands: "Yes...... I can't compare to Ah Hai, he doesn't care, he can fly as high as the sky is. As for me, I have a powerful cultivation, or I am sent under the fence, under the orders of the Immortal Dynasty, and I am a dog and a horse!"
"I don't want to discuss such a serious topic with you today!" Yu Sheng didn't answer Ling Ling's words, he knew in his heart that what he had said before was a little hurtful.
But the Ling Ling was in hot pursuit: "It's not whether you want to or not today, do you want to be a lackey of this Immortal Dynasty?"
"No! Ahai didn't leave! He's just gone, he's gone! No one can talk nonsense, everyone is the same!"
Yu Sheng was originally immersed in the calm of sadness, but suddenly he burst out and roared angrily at the Ling Ling who was sitting on the ground on the side.
But even he didn't know why this was happening, why there was such a strong resentment!
Zheng Ling also roared angrily: "Nonsense! A bunch of nonsense! You have made a circle for yourself, jumping in it and admitting that you have nothing to do, but in fact you are very wrong! That is fake! That is drawing the ground as a prison, that is cowardly! Compared with Ah Hai, compared to me, an old man, you Yu Sheng is the most cowardly!"
"Do you think that if you killed Ah Hai, you can sit on the top of the mountain alone and enjoy this wind and snow, is it a remembrance of him?"
"No, these are not, look back at the bottom of the mountain, how many people are there, how many people are here for you day and night!"
"Aren't they human? Don't they have their own family affairs? Haven't they lost their loved ones? Some people have watched their sons die on the bloody plains but can't come to the rescue, some people have watched their wives frozen into ice sculptures but are indifferent, is it their nature to be ruthless and too cruel?"
"It's that they don't have a choice! I don't have a choice, the Blood Song Clan, so the soldiers don't have a choice!"
"Look back at the south, it's the land that inhabits the few people who are left of us now, so we need a wall, a wall of flesh and blood that protects the people behind us so that they can live and multiply!"
"From the day all the Divine Cultivators voluntarily entered the Blood Song Battle Clan, they are no longer human, they are gods!
"Without the gods who sacrificed for this, there would be no clan today! There would be no era in which you Yu lived, and your Yu family was kind to the Divine Kingdom, but the current Blood Song War Troupe does not owe you a single cent to the Yu family, and it has already been paid off! After the seventh gate of the Divine Kingdom was decomposed, they escaped with your father, so they are kind to you Yu Sheng! The great grace of recreation!"
"But look at the way you look now, because when your best friends leave, they can do whatever they want, so that they have to worry about you when they are supposed to carry out the glorious task of protecting the clan, who are you worthy of? Are you worthy of the soldiers who are running north and south to find a military chef who can suit your taste, and are you worthy of visiting your subordinates with their injuries?"
Perhaps it was because Zheng Ling couldn't control his emotions at this time, he possessed Yu Sheng's ear and said the most piercing sentence: "I'm sorry for anyone, and I'm even more sorry for Ah Hai who died for his clansmen!"
Yu Sheng's eyes were red, and there was anger in his heart but there was nowhere to vent, it was precisely because Zheng Ling had never said a wrong word from beginning to end, but he couldn't refute it!
After half a ring, Zheng Ling stood up and wanted to leave, he rose into the air and floated in the air and said: "Ah Sheng, you have to remember, I don't want you to become a slump of waste, I don't want you to have hatred in your eyes, the day I will die on the battlefield, maybe it will end with the passage of time, I can't become a sage, only you are my last hope, sooner or later one day you will sit in the same position as me, face the same choice as me, I beg you not to let your people down......"
The screaming sound of breaking the sky disappeared in an instant, and only Yu Sheng's thin figure was under the lonely dead wood, he had calmed down, and there should be a direction in his heart, not thinking about yesterday, not talking about the future, as long as he took care of the present!
The snow eagle still soars at the highest point of the sky, looking down on the weak creatures of the earth, but always picking a sure prey, because it knows that the laws of nature are cold and merciless, and wounded...... Means death!
Compared with the grief in the snowy region, a magnificent and huge city in the southern central state still has its every sunrise and sunset.
Liuji City is its name, the largest city in the northwest, and it is also a paradise for immortal cultivators and explorers to gather!
It was not only the monks of the human race who walked on the wide road, but also a few strange-looking people of the alien race.
There is no distinction between races here, only about cultivation, the cultivation of the strong is above the weak, and the strong dominate the life and death of the weak!
Even if it is so dangerous, there are still countless young people who follow and dream of flying to prosperity.
Because there are six major sects of cultivating immortals here, namely: the East Pole School, the South Pole School, the North Pole School, the West Pole School, the Cathode Gate, the Anode Gate, and two of the four sects!
And a certain underground secret room in the city was full of twelve people at this time, all of them hiding their heads and masking their faces, and only a pair of eyes that were wary of each other were exposed.
A deep voice came from the secret room, like a deep cave demonic voice: "The informant from the north came to report, the package was confiscated by the Blood Song War Group, I'm afraid the matter has been revealed, and the big people above are a little displeased, tell me, what should I do?"
The voice was a little annoyed, mixed with a little teasing.
One of the purple-clothed masked men arched his hand into the air, and said coldly: "If the adults are worried about the revelation of the matter, in the eyes of the villain, they must be cleaned to eliminate the worries of future troubles!"
The strange black shadow in the air let out a chuckle: "Oh?
The purple-clothed masked man said respectfully: "In the villain's opinion, in order not to surprise the strong people in the north before the action, we used monks who did not have advanced cultivation, but it was still a mistake in thousands of calculations, which is really inappropriate, who knew that the bloody wolf actually led his troops to the north, and it happened to be stuck at the last moment, which led to the seizure of the package this time, and everyone present was guilty!"
The weird black shadow laughed three times and said, "Are you saying that I will kill you all?"
The faces of the twelve masked men changed drastically at the same time, and the atmosphere was suddenly extremely tense.
There was even a masked man who glared at the purple-clothed masked man who stood up, if he wasn't afraid of the strange black shadow, I am afraid that he would have killed him a long time ago!
However, the purple-clothed masked man was not afraid of this, and he said to himself: "If the Lord wants to kill us or summon this group of people here?" It can be seen that our twelve dog lives do not want to dirty our hands, so when arranging the delivery of this package, the villain personally sent someone to arrange it, and it was those small doors that were executed!"
"And the adults don't know, after the villain arranged this, he even solved the problems for the adults, and the person who did the work had already been secretly executed, that is, except for everyone present, no one knew!"
The black shadow seemed to be interested, and the magic voice sounded again: "Then tell me who the person who was executed!"
The purple-clothed masked man smiled and said: "The deputy head of the Daoshu Mansion, Yun Zhongyi, the three elders of the Bone Yin Sect, Hanlu, and a big fish, the head of the Immortal Poison Sect, the poisonous boy!"
This matter was revealed by the purple-clothed masked man, and suddenly there was a gasp, and the rest of the eleven people were all shocked, and there was fear in the eyes of the purple-clothed masked man!
is so ruthless, he beheaded three people before he could do it, and all of them were well-known figures in the small sect!
The words of the purple-clothed masked man caused the black shadow to laugh wantonly, and soon after, the black shadow said gloomily: "You little cutie, you really understand my heart more and more, this thing is done beautifully, but it is still not beautiful enough, do you understand?"
The purple-clothed masked man was naturally a shrewd person, and he instantly understood what the black shadow meant.
He bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, the villain will definitely be more beautiful, and the three gates will disappear in the world from now on......"
Then he said, "But...... The villain has something to ask for from the adult!"
"Tell me about it!"
"My lord, in this immortal dynasty, the villain can still solve problems for the adults, but the ...... in the Heavenly Punishment Legion"
"Hmph! There are naturally people in the Heavenly Punishment Legion to deal with it, so you can rest assured. But it's really good that you're so good at being my confidant, and if you disperse today, your own reward will fall into your pocket!"
The purple-clothed masked man was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded his head and thanked him repeatedly, and then the twelve people left the secret room in different directions, leaving only the black soul shadow.
After half a ring, there was another slight noise in the chamber, and a strange-looking figure walked in.
"A thousand faces, a thousand faces, I raised you for a lifetime and used you for a while, killed him, and replaced him, he knows too much, I can't let go of it!"
The strange figure let out a dull whisper, and then drifted up in a cloud of black mist in the direction the purple masked man had left.
Seeing that all the arrangements were in place, the black shadow said to himself: "Is the list of adults going to change, the water of the Blood Song Battle Group is a little deep, and the giant power to slash the golden pill......?"
