There is no more time for everyone to heal.

After blowing up the mountain pass, Chang Poyu confessed to the army, repaired for half a day, and then withdrew to several nearby fortified cities in batches.

The generals assigned to the country also received their own orders, and according to the plan, they notified Shuiquan all the way to continue to hold on, delaying the time for the demon beasts to invade the hinterland of Great Xia.

Along the way, I went to reorganize the small cities with less than 10,000 troops, not only were the armaments negligent in defense, the soldiers were thin, and what was even worse was that they were scattered all over the place, just like the supplies prepared along the eastward march of the demon beast army.

The older generals were good at human feelings, and reminded Chang Po that most of the elderly residents were difficult to leave their homeland, and they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to migrate away from their homeland.

"Then they are the military rations of the demon beasts, you can look at it!" When Chang Poyu said this, his eyes shot an undoubted fierce light.

Great Xia has not used swords and soldiers for decades, and most of the growth of these generals depends on military drills and familiarity with military books. The soldiers have clouds, "the chariots and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first".

The stronger the army, the greater the consumption and the greater the dependence on grain and grass. Once there is enough food, it will be invincible. But once there is a shortage of food, there will be civil strife.

Military rations are the key to fighting more with less and defeating the strong with the weak.

As a result, the troops of these demon beasts "grain and grass" carried out Chang Polu's instructions to the letter, and all the scattered or unfavorable city defenses, the people's residences were burned, and as long as they could move around, they had to migrate to the designated fortified cities.

And the old, weak, sick and disabled who were really unable to migrate were also burned.

Of course, there are also generals who really can't poison the people, and they will also be punished by Chang Po for disobeying military orders. In this way, the defense line of Great Xia retreated into the hinterland of the second line. And it is based on several central towns.

And Chang Poyu himself personally took Geng Zhong and Shen Moyan and rushed back to Sheng'an, the imperial capital of Great Xia, to move troops for help.

"General Xiang Bei, Great Xia is the time to employ people. "Chang Po before parting, but also want to fight again, thousands of troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, although this deputy promoted in the battle is still young, but he is young after all, and he is the only general who brings hope to the army in this losing streak.

But Xiang Bei rarely spoke again after the Battle of Heroes' Ridge. His expressionless face makes people feel distressed when they look at it, it is already like a walking corpse.

Tianen also felt that it was time to separate, since Xiang Bei had already rejected Chang Poyu, this saved him a lot of thought. Originally, he was still hesitating about how to persuade Xiang Bei to give up the position of deputy marshal of the Great Xia Border Army that Chang Poyu had promised him. After all, it is also a powerful and powerful position.

The ambition of a young man is something that no young person has ever dreamed of.

"It's time for us to pack up and leave for Tianyin. ”

The battle of Jinsha Tian'en has been carefully arranged for so long, and in the end it was still lost so miserably, which made Tian'en worry about how to explain to Tiansong when he went back, especially the death of Fu Life on the spot. This is not a small loss for Tianyin Peak.

Everyone was in a heavy mood, and they could see the anxiety in Tianen's heart, and even Yuelai obediently packed her luggage.

Only Xiang Bei still sits away from the crowd all day long. It's like meditating, and it's like you're already settled, and you're deaf to everything around you.

Li Chongguang and Shikong reminded him to prepare to set off according to Tianen's instructions, but he did not open his eyes.

Yuelai shouted at him to hurry up and pack his luggage, but he still didn't open his eyes.

Even when Tianmo came to see him, he was indifferent.

Tianmo didn't speak, but sat beside Xiang Bei for most of the day, didn't say a word, turned around and was about to leave.

"Uncle Tianmo, have you found Hongmeng Proverbs?" Xiang Bei still didn't open his eyes, but asked a straightforward question at Tianmo's back.

Hongmeng's proverbs are an obsession of Tianmo, which he once confided in this pair of young people when he took Xiang Bei and Su Subei to return their heads. But for some reason, Xiang Beihui suddenly asked this question.

Tianmo didn't intend to avoid it, but he didn't respond positively, just said, "The reincarnated sandworm made me understand that Hongmeng proverbs are not legends. ”

Xiang Bei put his hand into his clothes, because this arm had been broken three times in a row, and now although the bones have been broken, the whole arm is still swollen badly, for some reason, Xiang Bei insisted on using this injured arm to dig out the piece of lock spirit jade hanging around his neck.

"Lu Nanxun told me that there must be a more intelligent way of reincarnation in this world, and I think Hongmeng may be a hope. ”

"It's not just Hongmeng," Tianmo was probably also infected by Xiang Bei's emotions, and he told all the forbidden legends about reincarnation without any scruples.

"Back then, the King of Qin sent Xu Fu to the sea to seek immortality, and in the end, Xu Fu never returned, but handed it over to his subordinates to present to the King of Qin a picture of mountains and rivers. It is said that the Qiankun in this picture, the trust of the community, can be established in peace. But if you can give up the community, it is also a way to become an immortal. ”

"Mountains and rivers Shejitu?!" Xiang Bei's mind moved, old Liu Tou, that Sandao Village.

Xiang Bei once had a relationship with this mountain and river society, but it was handed over to Badu. At that time, there was only hatred in his heart, and revenge was his only sustenance.

"That picture seems to have been snatched away by a man named Lu Lihuang in Xifan. ”

After an awkward silence, Tianmo finally suddenly said inexplicably, "Since the beginning of the chaos of Hongmeng, the life of this life is just a drop in the ocean. All attempts to change one's life against the sky seem to be heroic and heroic, but they are all caused by fate......"

These rather decadent words are not at all like the fearless cultivators who once pursued the ultimate divination in this world.

Xiang Bei no longer answered, and Tianmo did not continue to plead. The two figures parted.

In the name of healing Xiang Bei's injuries, Tianen wanted to personally persuade him not to indulge in the past anymore.

He checked Xiang Bei's broken bones and was surprised to find that the broken bones had really healed themselves. He doesn't even need to be the holy hand of the ghost doctor.

"How the hell did you do that?" The young man in front of him always had all kinds of accidents that surprised Tianen. Obviously, his cultivation is shallow, and his life experience can be said to be lacking in talent, but he can always show his strength that is far from that of a cultivator of his realm.

Including the power of fire spirits that is difficult to control even in the rain, it seems that Xiang Bei, this kid, has imprisoned those fire spirits in his body with ease.

There is also the Gu of the immortal insects from the other world, not only did it not bloom on the ground and eat the flesh and blood of the host Xiang Bei, but it had already merged with his bloodline, or this powerful physical body self-healing technique was also given by these immortal insect Gu.

However, what Tianen was waiting for was Xiang Bei's long silence, and he didn't look down on Xiang Bei before and was too lazy to be with him. However, in the battle of Hero Ridge, Xiang Bei's eyes could no longer find the kind of respect for Tian'en.

He was somewhat resentful.

One grudge, as the head of the four worlds in the world, is the white head of the heavenly seal, and the art of cultivating immortals is far inferior to the head of Yan Luo of West Kunlun. And in the face of the slaughter of the demon beast army, there was only one Lord of West Kunlun who could match the heavens head-on.

The second resentment, as the first doctor in the world of the holy hand of the ghost doctor, was powerless to rescue him when the rain was in danger.

Tianen persuaded Xiang Bei a few words, wanting him to leave with everyone.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Bei responded silently behind closed doors.

"What do you mean by this?!" Tianen is still an elder after all, and he was a little out of control by Xiang Bei's attitude. But the slap he raised hung on Xiang Bei's head several times, but he still couldn't fall after all.

"Alas!" finally Tian'en sighed, "then let it be, we will wait for you for a few more days." ”

"I still have something to do, I can't return to Tianyin for the time being......" It wasn't until one of Tianen's legs stepped out of the threshold that Xiang Bei finally came up with a sentence.

And this sentence made Tian'en, who was already angry, suddenly deflated and compromised,

"Hmph!

......

"Senior Brother Xiang Bei! Senior Brother Xiang Bei!" Yuelai, who learned the news, rushed to find Xiang Bei as soon as possible, thinking that no matter what, he would persuade this senior brother who had drilled the tip of the bull's horns to change his mind and go on the road with everyone.

Unexpectedly, when Xiang Bei's door was opened, the house was empty. Yuelai stomped her foot, thought for a while, turned around and ran to find Tianmo,

"Master, Master, Senior Brother Xiangbei, he's gone......"

Tianmo stroked his goatee, as if he knew it in his chest.

"Why be persistent, why be persistent. The deeper the obsession in this world, the higher the danger of suffering from it. ”

Yuelai didn't tease Tianmo again this time, but turned around and left lonely, but silently chanted Tianmo's sentence in her heart,

"The deeper the obsession in this world, the greater the danger of suffering from it......"

Obsession, is it Xiang Bei, or Yuelai, or Tianmo himself.

Or all sentient beings, all suffering from their own obsessions.

......

The defeated army of the Sands has now been divided into four teams:

The first team, led by General Chang, retreated to the hinterland of Great Xia, and at the same time fortified the wilderness, preparing to trap and kill the army of demon beasts that fed the war.

The second team is the guardian of the Heavenly Seal, led by Tianen, and the north returns to the white first Heavenly Seal, and joins with Tiansong to find another way to save all sentient beings.

The third team is a lonely figure of a teenager, but his loneliness seems to be really deliberately arranged by God, and he has never been able to call for the front and back, but he has never been truly alone. Xiang Bei's figure entered the Northern Wilderness Grassland lonely, but there was also a horse and a wolf partner by his side.

Xuanma white wolf, following Xiang Bei, seems to be particularly cheerful, this is the first time, Xiang Bei took the initiative to bring them when he acted, and he no longer had to let them guard the return of their masters.

There is also a team, but it seems to have been forgotten.

That is the head of West Kunlun and her protector Lu Nanxun.

These two people who are the highest secret of Western Kunlun were destroyed together in the battle of Hero Ridge.

Xi Kunlun was originally not prosperous, but now these two strongest cultivators representing West Kunlun withered at the same time. Then this West Kunlun Spirit Jade Peak, I am afraid that the inheritance will be completely broken since then.

Xiang Bei once thought about going to see the place where Qin Luoyu practiced. But right now, he has more important things, and he must rush to the territory of the Northern Wilderness Ranger as soon as possible.

There, there was one last concern for him.

Whether it is leaving the country or the Ark of Winding Paths, it is like a ruthless and lofty existence, coldly crushing Xiang Bei's stubbornness, whoever I want to die, who will die. Tell you in advance, just to make you feel how powerful I am.
