Chapter 82: The Dawn of the World
[The eighth day of the second month of the tenth year of Daqian Jingyi, Yinshi, and a certain hill in Bashan]
Xu Ke, Yiqing and others were trapped on the top of the hill for two days and two nights.
The day and night of this Bashan Mountain, the temperature is very different, there is a demon cave next to it in the daytime, there will be a burst of scorching heat from time to time, the poisonous dust in the black smoke is also extremely strong, those soldiers have been choked by the black smoke coughing repeatedly, their voices are like smoke and fire, almost speechless.
At night, the wind swept the dust, and the temperature suddenly became extremely cold, and although the soldiers were huddled together to keep warm, their bodies were also frostbitten. In the long run, no one can support it......
What's worse is that there is no water source on this hill.
There was not much water in the blood clots of those demonic beasts, and although the soldiers endured the pungent fishy smell and gnawed and swallowed, in the end, their voices were still smoking, and they were so thirsty.
The smoke of the day, the strong wind of the night, and the attack of hot and cold have made these soldiers cry bitterly, and the extreme thirst has made their bodies weak to the extreme.
Even deadlier than thirst is despair. By this time, everyone had guessed that there were no more reinforcements to save them. The thousand-strong team led by the Demon Slaying General may appear anywhere in the world, but it will not come to Bashan!
Zheng Kai and the eleven soldiers were already sitting on the side of the top of the post, their expressions were distressed, their lips were chapped, and they were so weak and exhausted that they could not speak a word.
And a large number of long-horned red-haired monsters under the mountain have not only not decreased, but have become more numerous. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the White Rat Demon King has even sent a message for thousands of miles, and has summoned all the untrained long-horned monsters around here.
For Xu Ke and Yiqing, Bashan Mountain at this time has really become a desperate situation.
If the two of them forcibly sprint down the mountain, surrounded by a large number of demon soldiers, the other party has two demon masters sweeping the formation, and there is almost no chance of successfully breaking through. What's more, there are twelve dying soldiers at the top of the post. If he abandoned them and left, how could Xu Ke bear it?
"Wood, you go quickly!" Yiqing said resolutely.
At this time, she saw that the demonic beasts that were originally lying on the ground under the hill had stood up one after another. The formation of the large number of demon soldiers has also changed, and it seems that they are about to launch a general attack on the top of the gang.
Yiqing hurriedly pulled Xu Ke up and urged him again: "Let's go, it's too late if you don't leave!"
"Where else can I go?"
"Go back to your Chang'an! You were originally from ten years ago!"
"I'm leaving, what are you going to do?"
"Oh! you leave me alone! After you're gone, I'll have a way to get out!"
Xu Ke took out the Cloud Shadow Bead from his arms, and he knew that the only opportunity to get out of his hands was this spirit bead. But in this desperate situation, how could he bear to leave Yiqing behind and escape alone? After smiling bitterly a few times, he put the cloud shadow bead back into his arms, and said resolutely:
"No, if you don't go, I won't go!"
Yiqing hurriedly said: "You ...... You sick wood, why are you so stubborn! Don't worry, I'm doing my best, and when you leave, I'll get out safely. Besides, I don't have any enmity with them, and those monsters won't embarrass me......"
At this time, a formation had been formed in the army of demonic beasts at the foot of the mountain, and about forty long-horned red-haired monsters were slowly climbing up to the top of the mountain. Behind the monster, there is also the White Rat Demon King.
Xu Ke held Yiqing's hands, only to see that her body and face were covered with dark brown dust, her lips were already chapped, and the long-term thirst had made her tired, sleepy, and weak. Xu Ke knew that if she said that she could still perform light skills at this time and get out of the encirclement under the mountain, it would be almost a dream.
Xu Ke stared at Yiqing affectionately, and said softly: "Good second sister, I am here to accompany you." If the heavens want to kill me, even if it is death, we will die together!"
Yiqing also looked at Xu Ke, and sighed helplessly: "You sick wood, tell me what is good for you! You obviously have cloud shadow beads, you only need to infuse your true power to leave, why do you ...... If you really don't want to leave, then we'll stay here and fight those monsters!"
Yiqing then smiled and said, "I said...... Is there such a sick wood as you? You could have gone back when you were at home, but you refused to go back! Now, seeing that you are about to die, you still refuse to go back. Have you really forgotten...... You belong to the world 10 years ago! Everything here has nothing to do with you......"
At this time, the cloud shadow bead in Xu Ke's arms actually began to glow on its own, only to hear the voice of the cloud shadow real person from the spirit bead again:
"Hey...... Lao Xu, is Lao Xu here? I called you for the second time, did you hear me? You are extremely dangerous at this time, extremely dangerous! You have to hurry up and urge the Cloud Shadow Bead, hurry back to the Divine King Pavilion, and hurry back to me! Quick!"
Hearing Yunying Zhenren's eager shout, Xu Ke still shook his head and ignored it. Seeing that no one answered, the cloud shadow real person stopped talking, and before long, the light of the cloud shadow bead dimmed again.
Yiqing said anxiously: "Sick wood, that bead itself is urging you, why don't you still refuse to go back! Even if I beg you, okay! Hurry up and urge the power of the spirit bead to go back to your ten years ago! You know, if you die here, Yiqing ten years ago, you will never see you again......
"Haha! Don't worry, you will definitely be able to see me ten years ago! I still owe you a meal to pick up the star building!" Xu Ke suddenly smiled.
Xu Ke thought to himself: "Yiqing came to save me, she has suffered a lot, and now she is surrounded by monsters, and she is unable to escape death, if I leave her alone at this time, then am I still a man......?"
"You...... Hey!" Yiqing sighed, she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she had to follow him.
Xu Ke suddenly thought about it, and couldn't help but say, "Yiqing, I have one last request, I don't know if you can agree?"
"Say it!"
"Can you ...... Call me something nice?" After Xu Ke finished speaking, there was a hint of cowardice on his face, and it could be seen that he was still a little embarrassed.
Yiqing couldn't help but sneer, she really didn't expect that she would be so alive and dead
At the juncture, this sick wood is still thinking about changing his words. At that moment, she called softly:
"Sick brother......" Yiqing couldn't help but lower his head.
"Hey!" Xu Ke replied loudly. He heard Yiqing's delicate call, and his heart felt like a spring breeze. Unexpectedly, the Yiqing girl, who is arrogant and dry on weekdays, can be called this sweet and soft name at this time. Xu Ke's long sword was horizontal, and suddenly his heart was full of heroic feelings, only to feel that even though he died fighting monsters, he was accompanied by such a fairy-like "second sister", and heard her delicate and infinite title, what a regret!
"Sick brother, from now on, you will also call me 'Qingmei', right?" Yiqing also replied.
A large number of demon soldiers under the mountain have already moved in groups, and the first team of forty long-horned red-haired monsters is less than a hundred steps away from them.
"Okay, Sister Qing, then we will kill a big fight, even if we die here, it will not be in vain!" Xu Ke said loudly with his sword in hand.
"Well, sick brother...... Then let these monsters taste our awesomeness!" Yiqing faced the monster under the mountain, stood intently, chanting the true recipe in his mouth, and a double-strand sword behind his back was already trembling slightly in the scabbard.
The forty long-horned red-haired monsters lined up in a long snake formation, climbing up step by step, and they were about to walk to the top of the post.
The White Rat Demon King took out one of his long iron rope flying claws, and followed his demon soldiers to ...... step by step
At this time, a round of red sun has risen from the east of Ba Mountain, and the morning sun rises up, as if it has pierced the barrier between heaven and earth. The ten thousand golden rays of light pierced through the thick black clouds and shone straight on the earth. The golden morning sun also hit Xu Ke and Yiqing's bodies, reflecting the clear and upright figures of the two of them on the ground......
"Shadow! I see a shadow!" Zheng Kai, who was leaning to the side, suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Shadow?" Xu Ke scratched his forehead, thinking to himself, could it be that the Yunying real person had also arrived here? He looked around, how could there be a trace of half a fat real person? Only his own shadow on the ground also scratched his forehead with him.
"General, I see your shadow!" Zheng Kai shouted again, and he stood up, his face full of excitement and ecstasy......
"Seeing my shadow, what's so happy about this?" Xu Ke looked at Yiqing, for a while, still unclear.
He didn't think for a moment that in this demonic world, there was a large net of black smoke blocking the sky during the day, and there was not a ray of sunlight at all. If there is no sunlight, where can we see the shadow of a man?
And at this moment, everyone clearly saw Xu Ke's shadow, and clearly saw that his shadow also followed himself, scratching his forehead.
This shows that the sun has appeared in the world, and the world has finally ushered in light!
At this time, Yiqing's face was also full of joy, she looked up at the sky, her eyes flowed with pearl tears, as if she was saying to herself: "Sick brother, I can't imagine that you have finally succeeded! You have finally saved the world......"
"I ...... What did I succeed in, and where did I save the world?" Xu Ke said.
Yiqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky and said, "Sick brother, look, the sun is out!"
Xu Ke followed Yiqing's point, and sure enough, he saw that in the sky, above the dense black clouds, there were golden rays of sunlight, piercing the barrier of the smoke and shining straight down. The golden morning sun was so dazzling that Xu Ke had been trapped in this dark world for a long time, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, unable to adapt to the real sunlight for a while.
"Look, General, the demonic beasts are all burning!" Zheng Kai pointed in the direction of the demonic beasts under the mountain and shouted happily.
Sure enough, the forty long-horned red-haired monsters had already climbed to the top of the hill and were about to charge, but for some reason, puffs of black smoke came out of their bodies, and in an instant, the monster's fur burned......
At this time, although there was still a large net of black smoke hanging in the sky, today's net seemed to have cracked. The golden sunlight came out of these cracks, and the golden light, like a sharp sword, pierced the monster's body, and could immediately ignite the monster.
I saw that those monsters all let out "whoosh" sounds from their mouths, as if they had seen their own ends, and were letting out an extremely miserable howl of pain. Then, the monsters were set on fire, and they all rolled to the ground and fell down the hill.
All the demon soldiers under the mountain were also like the monsters, all of them could not avoid it, and all of them were pierced by the golden sunlight, burning their furs, and falling to the ground in pain, watching themselves be burned into a pile of black ashes......
The huge magic cave at the top of Bashan Mountain was still spewing smoke into the sky. But the thick and dense black smoke seemed to have completely lost its effect, and the sunlight in the sky pierced the clouds more and more, shining on the earth, as if more and more rivers were flowing happily to the sea. Ten thousand golden rays of light flowed down, rendering the mountains of Bashan into a golden color. Just in an instant, the heavens and the earth have changed greatly, and the light in the world is getting stronger and stronger...... Xu Ke couldn't help but rub his eyes and slowly adapt to this bright world. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot for a while, and he really couldn't believe that he was saved like this.
The White Rat Demon King was still on the hillside, but the golden sunlight failed to ignite him. However, he looked up at the sky, and more and more golden light flowed down, and the mountain land was already filled with brighter and brighter light. He couldn't help but sigh sadly, and he didn't know what words came out of his mouth, and at that moment, he jumped and rushed to the foot of the mountain, and he didn't even care about the demon lord.
"The sun is out, sick brother, you have succeeded!" Yiqing suddenly hugged Xu Ke tightly, she hugged Xu Ke's body hard, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't help but burst out of her eyes......
"Hmm...... Sister Qing, the sun is out, I can't imagine it, we're fine!" Xu Ke also hugged Yiqing tightly and said happily.
The twelve sergeants next to him, who were already dying, were also in good spirits at this time, and they each got up. They watched the monsters under the mountain all be pierced by the golden sunlight, burning all over, falling to the ground and dying in pain, and they couldn't help but hug each other and weep with joy......
In this way, everyone hugged tightly and celebrated this with the most excited, joyful, and hearty cheers and shouts
A great victory for humanity!
......
Xu Ke was still hugging Yiqing tightly, he felt that Yiqing's delicate body seemed to be trembling slightly, and he didn't know if she was crying with joy or feeling sad for someone. He hugged Yiqing in his arms and comforted him softly: "Sister Qing, God is pitiful, we are still alive!
At this time, someone shouted: "It's raining...... and there was a light rain in the sky. Everyone looked up to the sky, desperately sucking in the rain that fell from the sky. When the rain falls in the mouth, it tastes so sweet. For Yiqing and the soldiers, they have never drunk such sweet rain for more than nine years. At this moment, one by one, they are like withered seedlings in a long drought, swallowing the rain and feeling the luxury gift given to them by God......
The rain is falling heavier and heavier, as if to wash away all the squalor and chaos of this world. With the torrential rain, the sky is full of golden light. Today, the heavy rain and the rising sun come at the same time. This scene is like all the gods in the sky, manipulating together.
"The Bashan Demon Cave has also been extinguished by the rain!" Yiqing pointed to the huge black hole not far away and said to Xu Ke.
Xu Ke followed Yiqing's finger and looked, and sure enough, under the pressure of the heavy rain, the Bashan Demon Cave was finally extinguished by the rain, and there was no black smoke at the entrance of the cave to spit out, only a bare big black hole remained, as if to tell the world that there was a past of "world demonization......
After the cave was extinguished, the sky lost its black smoke. The net of black smoke shrouded in the sky gradually dissipated, and finally, the sky became clear and translucent, and the world in front of him was even brighter!
After everyone swallowed a lot of rainwater, their bodies immediately regained their strength. Xu Ke saw that the heavy rain kept falling, so he thought about finding a place to shelter from the rain. He asked the soldiers:
"You don't matter, do you?"
"General Hui, we're all fine!" Zheng Kai replied.
"Let's go, let's go back to Chang'an!"
"Okay!"
Those soldiers held hands one by one, smiling happily, they had already thought that they would die, and they never dreamed that they would return to Chang'an alive.
......
Xu Ke led everyone and walked down the hill slowly, only to see that the large area of demonic beasts under the mountain was all burned into ashes at this time, and under the washing of the rain, even the remaining ashes were slowly taken away by the rain, as if they had never been here.
The White Rat Demon King has long since disappeared, and as for the masked Demon King, he has disappeared at this time. Xu Ke didn't have the slightest interest in them, he just wanted to return to Chang'an sooner and see his three wives sooner......
Xu Ke and his entourage were in the heavy rain, just going to the southeast, walking for about an hour, but they saw a large group of people in front, the first one rode a high-headed horse, with a burly figure and a face full of ochre, it was Shen Huan, the famous demon general in Chang'an.
"Brother Xu, you're back!" Shen Huan's hearty laughter sounded again.
Xu Ke only didn't see it, and Gu Zi walked towards Chang'an City. Yiqing behind him wanted to say hello to Shen Huan, but when he saw Xu Ke like this, he didn't say anything more and followed Xu Ke closely.
"The little one has seen the great general!" Zheng Kai and the others immediately bowed to Shen Huan.
Shen Huan looked at Xu Ke behind him, but he only laughed dryly, and then asked Zheng Kai and the others:
"You followed General Xu, how did you get results? Have you ever seen the Demon King in Tsing Yi? What about the others?"
"General Huiyu, the situation is like this......" Zheng Kai followed Xu Ke to attack Bashan, and reported everything he saw along the way to Shen Huan. And the most important thing is that the golden sunlight can ignite all the monsters' bodies, causing those monsters to die, and Zheng Kai is extremely detailed.
Shen Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately ordered loudly: "All the soldiers, come with me to kill all the remnants of the Bashan Demon Lair!"
......
......
Xu Ke saw that the twelve soldiers under his command had returned to Shen Huan's thousand-man team, so he ignored them and rushed back to his home. At the moment, he has nothing to think about except to go home and reunite with his family.
Xu Ke and Yiqing both have good light skills, at this time they don't need to pay attention to their soldiers, so they stepped up their footsteps, lifted their spirits and walked quickly, only half an hour later, they walked into the west gate and returned to Chang'an City.
At this time, Chang'an was already boiling, and almost all the people rushed to the street, and everyone had a happy and excited look on their faces. People banged on the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, made random noises, hugged each other, sang and danced in the rain, and did not hesitate to celebrate the light of the world with all their laughter and tears......
Xu Ke and Yiqing both glanced at each other, each showing a knowing smile. Needless to say, with the sun and rain, the human world has come back to life, and now everyone has no need to worry about survival in the future.
The two held hands and walked to the house in Liquanfang. Xu Ke saw Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan and Yao Zibei standing there from a distance. Like the people in Chang'an City, they looked up at the bright sky, stretched out their hands to touch the clean rainwater, and were excited and rejoicing.
As soon as Yao Zibei saw Xu Ke and Yiqing, he immediately rushed over. She hugged Yiqing and Xu Ke tightly, and cried with joy: "Second sister, Brother Xu, great! You are finally back safely......
"Silly girl, I'm fine, what are you suffering!" Xu Ke couldn't help but scratch Yao Zibei's nose and smiled.
"Well, God willing, you can all come back safely, God is so good to us!" Yao Zibei still choked up.
Hu Yiyi and Murong Yan also came over, and everyone hugged each other, hugging each other and crying and laughing.
"Oh my God...... It's so good for us!" Hu Yiyi also sighed. She looked up at the sky, and it was already midday, the sun was high in the sky, and the sun was already dazzling. Her eyes were already full of tears, and her expression was like Yiqing on the hill just now.
"Ah Ke, where are you? This great change in the world is not the result of your efforts?"
