Book 1: Reading is not Confucian Sour Chapter 47 The fire rises, and the rain falls
Ying Tianchang and Light Lei Zi had already walked to the military camp where Huang Yuncheng imprisoned the people in the city. In front of you is a gate made of huge stones, comparable to the gate of Huangyun City.
The garrison barracks in the south of Huangyun City are not what they were at the beginning, and the construction has been rebuilt by the monsters of Huangsha Valley, as a prison, and the military camp of Huangyun City is only left with this boulder gate. Like a city within a city.
It's just that what kind of situation is inside, Ying Tianchang can think of one or two before he sets foot in it, and he is also mentally prepared.
The monsters of Yellow Cloud City had already fled back to the Yellow Sand Valley, and naturally there was no one to guard it. Light Leizi walked to the gate of the boulder, put his palm up, and after thinking for a while, he withdrew his hand, sideways to make way for Ying Tianchang, and said: "Although you and I don't say it, no one can see that I am a monster, but my light Leizi is the demon king of the northwest after all." This kind of thing, it's better for you to come. ”
Ying Tianchang nodded, what Qing Leizi said was naturally not about opening the gate of the boulder, if he minded this matter, he would not kill the big demon who stayed in Huangyun City in Huangsha Valley without even saying a word when he first arrived in Huangyun City, and the big demon didn't know what happened and why he died from seeing Light Leizi to death.
Light Thunder is to put his thoughts on breaking the gate of this boulder.
In the eyes of the people of Huangyun City, it was not him who broke this cage.
Ying Tianchang took a few steps forward and smashed his fist on the boulder door with all his strength. Ying Tianchang didn't dare to stay strong, for fear that he wouldn't be able to break it.
The fist that lingered around the silver-white fist poured all the strength of Ying Tianchang on the stone gate, and cracks appeared on the surface of the boulder the moment it touched the fist, and spread out, and those cracks climbed on the stone gate like a spider web.
With a loud bang, the stone door cracked, and the rubble scattered in all directions.
The sky was as dark as before, and there was a hint of reddish in the darkness.
Behind the stone gate are countless iron cages stacked on top of each other. The distance between one cage and the other is the road.
Fortunately, there are torches standing between the cages.
The torches were burning, but they weren't bright. The faint light only made the place even darker and more terrifying.
Ying Tianchang and Light Thunder stepped through the shattered giant gate and continued to walk aimlessly. Then in the dim light of the fire, Ying Tianchang could see that there were one or two people in each cage, but he couldn't see their gaze.
I couldn't see the people who were being held inside.
"Why don't you release them directly?" asked Light Leizi.
Ying Tianchang said: "It's not in a hurry. From the moment he stepped through the boulder gate, the leader of the road unconsciously became the fourth gentleman who was fasting. Qing Leizi didn't have an opinion, he also wanted to know what this Ying Tianchang wanted to see in this prison.
In the center of these countless cages, there was a large cauldron, and the flames under the pot were burning, and the fire was as big as if all the lights of Huangyun City had gathered here.
Even if it was dozens of zhang away, Ying Tianchang could feel the scorching temperature.
Next to the cauldron, there is a torture rack with the function of a cutting board, more than a dozen neatly arranged together, locked on the torture rack, there are living people, some dead people, and some half-dead people.
Shang still consciously saw Ying Tianchang and Qing Leizi walking slowly like this, in a variety of postures, crying and begging for mercy with strength, whimpering and wheezing without strength, and some trembling and not daring to make a sound.
Ying Tianchang looked at these and kicked the flesh-and-blood human skull at his feet forward. The skull collided with the other bones, and finally landed under the mountain of corpses made up of countless white bones next to the cauldron.
"According to your people, this is disrespectful to the dead. Light Leizi said beside Ying Tianchang.
Ying Tianchang didn't seem to hear it, he looked up at the cauldron about three zhang high, and said, "What do you think?"
Ying Tianchang smelled the smell of boiled meat in the air. That's the taste of human flesh. Ying Tianchang can know this taste thanks to the middle-aged man who threw himself into the cauldron of boiling water. At that time, this smell was also wafting through the town. So Ying Tianchang didn't look at it, and he didn't have to guess to know what was boiling in this cauldron.
As soon as he walked into the gate of the boulder, Ying Tianchang felt that he had returned to the original cannibalistic town.
"What's the matter, youkai cannibalism, can be eaten alive, and can be boiled like this. But eating raw accounts for the majority, and such a scene is more to establish authority in Huangyun City and scare the people of Huangyun City who are imprisoned here. Light Leizi said.
Ying Tianchang lowered his head, and there were fire snakes constantly coming out from under the cauldron. He walked a few steps on his own, turned his head to Qing Leizi and said: "You asked me a question before, now I ask you one, monsters cannibalism is reasonable to a certain extent, and people cannibalism, what is the saying? Don't prevaricate me with the saying that wolves eat sheep and tigers eat deer, this situation is more like wolves eating wolves and tigers eating tigers." And wolves, have you ever eaten a wolf?"
Qing Leizi didn't speak, and he didn't look at Ying Tianchang.
There was a torture rack next to Ying Tianchang, on which hung a dead body. This dead corpse did not lack arms or legs, and the head was still completed, but the chest and abdomen were cut out by the Yellow Sand Valley Demon with a big hole, and all the liver and intestines in the chest and abdomen were emptied. Now, the mouth was still oozing blood.
Light Leizi looked at the distorted face of the corpse, and knew what kind of pain he was feeling.
And Ying Tianchang is under his feet, stepping on a section of intestines, and more, in the pot.
"You don't really look like a reader. Light Leizi said.
Ying Tianchang nodded and said, "Although I am a disciple of that old bookworm, I am not a scholar in the first place. ”
"I've been through this before, but I was in those cages. Ying Tianchang didn't turn around, but pointed his arm back to the countless cages behind him, "And the one who sharpens the knife outside is not a demon, it's a human." ”
"So to me, there's really no difference between humans and demons. As a human being, demons are divided into those who eat people and those who do not, and there are good people and evil people. Ying Tianchang withdrew the hand that was pointing back, scratched his head, and said, "That's not right, the words good and bad are not as simple as I say, but you should understand what I mean." ”
Ying Tianchang walked from Jiangnan Academy to the northwest, and then walked from Liangzhou to Mozhou with Qingleizi, and saw a lot of confrontations between shemales along the way. These people and things that meet in the water should be seen in the eyes and remembered in the heart, there is a word called a leaf Zhiqiu, Ying Tianchang is learning to understand this matter.
The flames under the cauldron were blazing, and even though it was already autumn, it was as hot as purgatory. Ying Tianchang was in an irritable mood, he was not the kind of person Chen Linan who was good at reasoning, and his eloquence was not good. Rather than saying something big, Ying Tianchang is more inclined to do it directly.
Moreover, he can't say anything about the rules.
"It's time for rain. Ying Tianchang looked at the red sky and whispered.
The cloudless sky was immediately overcast.
There was a thunderstorm, and the autumn rain came.
It is not only the thunder, but also the words of the young man.
This young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old but had walked thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, was a little worried. He once asked Chen Lin'an what he would do in this situation, and he still remembered Chen Lin'an's answer.
Educate into the hearts of the people.
Shouldering human suffering.
But Ying Tianchang knew that he couldn't do this, and he wouldn't choose to do this. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. Even if the Northwest hinted at by the light thunder before and after, it is not only about the two races of demons. He didn't understand why Xu Lu would let himself come to the northwest when his cultivation was not high, he was not very knowledgeable, and he didn't even know how to do it and how to do it.
Light Leizi was beside him, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
"I don't understand what you mean. Ying Tianchang smiled and said, "But that's enough, isn't it?"
He walked up to the nearest living person chained to the torture rack and said, "Stop crying and shouting. ”
Ying Tianchang has always felt that crying is the most harsh sound in the world.
The man was probably so frightened that he continued to beg for mercy and cry out as if he hadn't heard Ying Tianchang's words, tears streaming down his eyes.
Ying Tianchang slapped the man in the face, and the slap was heavy. His expression was not good, and he said, "I am a human being, and I am here to save you." But if you keep arguing, I don't mind letting you die. ”
Qing Leizi, who was standing behind Ying Tianchang, raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, the man stopped shouting. Ying Tianchang's voice was not small, and the other people who were still alive and locked in the torture rack could hear it. So in this prison, beside Ying Tianchang, there was only the sound of the fire burning the autumn rain and the boiling soup in the cauldron.
Ying Tianchang still did not put the man down from the torture rack, he turned back to Qing Leizi and said, "Look. ”
It's like proof of something.
But Light Thunder didn't know what he was proving, or he didn't want to be clear.
Drops of water fell from between Ying Tian's long hair and fell to the ground, mixing with the remaining bloodstains. It seems that this autumn rain will wash away the remaining filth here. But Ying Tianchang knew that there would be no change here after a few hundred autumn rains, even if he and Light Thunder rescued the people of Huangyun City, he couldn't change anything or save anything now, he couldn't wash away the evil, and he couldn't remove the darkness here.
After they were released from the cage and the torture rack, they would never live in Huangyun City again. This Yellow Cloud City is their cage, even if it is physical, it is also spiritual.
The current Huangyun City is like this purgatory, and it will still be in the future, and it will always be.
How much, Ying Tianchang was a little desperate in his heart. He said to Qing Leizi: "Even if the Northwest Demon Tribulation is over, Huangyun City, and more Huangyun City, will not be able to go back." ”
Qing Leizi nodded, he hadn't thought about this before, but after Ying Tianchang said it, he also knew that this situation was certain. But he didn't care.
Yes, he really didn't care. Because he is the demon king. Ying Tianchang said: "I'm not speaking for the people of Huangyun City, I'm just saying this reason. What do you want me to see in the Northwest? Monsters slaughter people, humans hate monsters, or are shemales simply different?"
"It's a sin for a demon to kill a demon, but what about a man killing a demon?"
Ying Tianchang was stunned.
Above the gloomy rain clouds that enveloped Yellow Cloud City, a white beast that looked like a tiger but had wings fluttered and flew away. The girl sat on the forehead of the beast, swaying her slender legs.
The rain clouds and the yellow cloud city should be done by Tianchang and the light thunder, such as in front of the girl's eyes. And whether it was Ying Tianchang or the Demon King Light Leizi, they couldn't perceive her and the spiritual power of Qi Qi who sat down.
Why Xu Lu let Ying Tianchang and Tao Tao come to the northwest, the girl knew, but she didn't want to see the kind of result that Xu Lu predicted. She didn't want the teenager to see the few beautiful things in the world during this trip to the northwest, even if she knew that there were really things in the world that made her feel beautiful. If that happens, the boy's state of mind will gradually improve, and perhaps he will not leave Xinzhai and come to the side she represents.
The girl pursed the corners of her mouth, perhaps, just because she simply thought that the improved mood of the teenager would make her feel bored and disappointed. Even if the boy finally chooses to leave Shinsai to join herself, she still won't be happy.
That's why I came to the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, which should not be my responsibility.
The girl gently stroked Qiqi's fur and said, "You know what to do." ”
Qiqi exhaled and blew the stars away.
Under the rain clouds, Huangyun City is burning like a star that has come to the end.
The rain was burned by flames.
