Chapter 2 Kowloon Tsing Yi
Liang Xin and countless convict dolls were escorted by officers and soldiers to the west, not knowing where they were going or what they were going to do.
However, for these teenagers, after the initial panic and fear, they were replaced by infinite freshness and curiosity, and for the first time in their lives, they walked out of the street of Sinhu and appreciated the world!
When it is spring, the sky and the earth are red and green, the wind is soft and the clouds are clear, and there is a good scenery everywhere.
Along the way, they kept merging with the ranks of other sinners, and the number of people became more and more...... Later, however, when a detachment of criminals came to join them, they were very few in number, and almost all of them were wounded.
After the inquiry of the good deeds, it was clear that when this team was on the way, it was just in time for two groups of monks to fight, and the immortals fought and mortals suffered, and the original team of nearly a thousand people, in the end, only more than 100 people survived, and the others were affected by the powerful flying sword magic weapon and magic spell, and there was no place to bury them.
Liang Xin sighed when he heard it, whether it was a cultivator of the heavens, or a demon or a monster, they all had vast powers and high mana, and in their eyes, mortals were just ants, and they never had any scruples in the battle.
Liang Xin mixed in the criminal household, all the way forward, in the past four years he had a good meal, and practiced boxing, but fortunately now he is still a teenager, his body has not been fully unfolded, and he is not too dazzling under the tattered clothes.
I couldn't tell whether it was the fourteenth or fifteenth day, but Liang Xin was sleeping that night, when suddenly a very soft whisper came from his ears: "Xin'er, wake up! I'm here." ”
Liang Xin woke up in shock, and then was overjoyed, Feng Xi finally arrived.
Feng Xixi cautiously squatted beside Liang Xin, and lowered his voice very low: "I rushed here as soon as I heard that something was wrong, and I finally found you! Your mother is fine, don't worry." ”
Liang Xinda breathed a sigh of relief from his heart.
Feng Xixi sighed and continued to say, "I have inquired along the way, a strange thing happened not long ago, and your conscription is also related to this matter. ”
Liang Xin was more energetic, and sat up gently: "What's the matter?"
Feng Xixi replied: "It's Kunai Mountain!"
Kunai Mountain, located in the west of Middle Earth, stretches for thousands of miles, is the ancestor of the legendary ten thousand mountains, firmly isolates the middle earth from the wild land, the east side of the mountain is rich and fertile, it is the middle earth Shenzhou; the west side of the big mountain is a remote and remote land, fierce mountains and bad waters.
At the beginning of this year, a group of soldiers were patrolling along the foot of the mountain, and one of them accidentally tripped over a small pebble under his feet, and his companions were about to laugh at him, when the fallen soldier howled loudly, and the skin and bones on his body were visibly withered.
The other soldiers hurried forward to treat them, but all those who touched the wounded also screamed and fell, and in a short time, they all turned into dry bones!
The rest of the people thought that there were monsters and hurried back to the outpost.
It happened to be an important frontier place, and the commander stationed there did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent troops along the mountain to search carefully, but finally found that it was not a monster at all, but the small stone that tripped the soldiers: whether it was a human or animal, as long as they touched it lightly, they would immediately be drained of flesh and turned into dead corpses.
Only wood can insulate the ferocity of stone.
Moreover, this small stone is extremely hard, and even the 'Great Flood Fire Thunder' is used at the outpost, and it cannot break the stone in the slightest, but it has lifted a large pit in the surrounding soil.
Only then did the sergeants discover that the small stone had a foundation, and it was buried under the soil, and only a small corner of the ground was exposed in the oblique thorns.
The local commander instructed the soldiers to dig carefully, and the roots and veins of the small stones were gradually revealed, so obliquely and horizontally, all the way into the mountains, and in the process of digging, dozens of soldiers accidentally touched the roots and veins of the stones, and they were all drained into dry bones.
Dozens of people died at once, and the chief couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, and the matter was reported layer by layer, and it was passed on to the court.
Since the founding of the second generation of emperors in Dahong, all generations of kings have believed in divine arts, and the court has raised countless people who have cultivated the heavens and attained the Tao...... The laws enter the Tao, and there are many sects that cultivate the heavens.
For the emperor, the death of dozens of soldiers is actually not a great event, but the two national teachers of the dynasty are like a great enemy, personally rushed to Kunai Mountain, and soon returned to the saint, the stone vein that can take people's lives is the sprout of the fierce root of the evil domain!
In the past few years, Liang Xin has read and read, 'specialized' in myths and legends, and knows that there are countless sects of cultivating heaven between the Lingxiu of Middle Earth and the beautiful mountains and rivers of Ming, among which there are both high-ranking people and bloodthirsty demons, but he has never heard of the 'evil domain fierce root', and he can't help but get close to the wind: "What does this mean?"
Feng Xixi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is a new word invented by the national teacher!"
The meaning of the national teacher is that in the depths of Kunai Mountain, there is a cruel root seed hidden, which has been growing for thousands of years, and finally turned into this stone vein that can absorb people's essence and blood. If the stone veins are allowed to grow and the fierce roots take shape, the world will inevitably suffer great disasters, and the only way to do this is to dig all the way along the stone veins, find the fierce roots and destroy them.
The drudgery of digging the root of life and death naturally falls on the head of the guilty household, but now most of the adult criminal households are subject to forced labor, or open rivers for mining, or dig up soil in the bitter cold land, and it is difficult to extract it for a while, so the emperor issued a holy decree to levy doll criminals over the age of twelve.
In the end, a total of 20,000 Laoding was scraped together and went to Kunai Mountain to 'break the evil'.
The project took a long time, and at the beginning, it was useless to gather a million people at once, and 20,000 people were dispatched in advance, which was enough in the previous years.
The strange things in Kunai Mountain have long been rumored up and down the government and the opposition, but the sinners don't know about it.
Liang Xin listened to it and took a cool breath, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "The fierce root veins have appeared in the world, why don't those monks who support the righteous path in the world care?"
Feng Xixi shook his head: "This time it is a fierce world, and it is not a treasure of heaven and earth, so the monks will not care, hehe, don't say any stupid words about monks helping the world, I remember that Lord Liang often angrily accused the monks of not respecting the laws of the world, which is really a disaster." ”
Now Ku Nai Mountain has become the focus of attention of the people of the world, in addition to the continuous convergence of the people of the state capitals, in order to prevent evil demons and demons from taking advantage of the opportunity to do so, the two national teachers also invited a very famous Xiuzhen sect: Zhu Li's nineteen masters of the dojo, formed a formation to seal the place where Ku Nai Mountain opened.
Speaking of this, Feng Xixi's expression suddenly became depressed, there are immortal cultivators who are deployed in Kunai Mountain, and the little ghost has no chance to follow Liang Xin's side.
Liang Xin smiled and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just digging the soil, as long as you don't touch that ghost stone, it should be fine." ”
Feng Xixi sighed gloomily, didn't say anything, took out two meat buns that had already been cold from his arms, and stuffed them into Liang Xin's hands.
Since ancient times, quarrying has been a very hard and dangerous job. What's more, this time there is a terrible stone vein that will suck people's essence and blood when touched, Liang Xin's uncle and nephew know the danger of this trip, but they can only follow countless sinners, all the way to Kunai Mountain.
In this way, Liang Xin traveled with the team during the day, and quietly came to visit the camp at night, and he still always brought some food.
The territory of Dahong is vast, Liang Xin set out from his home, has been walking for more than 40 days, the terrain finally gradually slanted, according to the calculation of the captain, there are two or three days away, and it will be to the place.
At this time, Liang Xin's team of criminals had gathered thousands of people, and after dinner that day, the officers and soldiers of the escort team disrupted more than 10,000 criminals, and then divided each thousand people into a team.
Soon after, the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Kunai Mountain, and a group of majestic cavalry galloped up, and the criminals had no knowledge, and when they saw these cavalrymen, they only wondered why they were not wearing armor, but were wearing dark robes.
Only Liang Xin was quietly taken aback, he has read and read over the years, and he also knows a lot about the Dahong Dynasty, this team of cavalry wears cuttlefish robes and embroidered spring knives on their waists, and they are the elite soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Kowloon Division, known as Kowloon Tsing Yi.
The Nine Dragons Division of the Great Hong Dynasty supervised the country's heavy guards, supervised hundreds of officials, and stabbed the people to discuss the world. His subordinates have their own prisons and yamen, and they have the right to act arbitrarily. The Nine Dragons Division was only organized by the emperor's orders, and its power was really terrifying.
Kowloon Tsing Yi, in addition to being skilled in bows and horses and excellent martial arts, most of the chiefs also have some special skills, but this ability is not a way to cultivate the truth, but a god-given divine power among mortals.
Liang Xin didn't expect that the people from the Nine Dragons Division would also arrive, but then he was relieved when he thought about it, the Nine Dragons Division was responsible for the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, and such a big thing happened in Ku Naishan, of course they had to take action.
There were thousands of people in this group of Kowloon Tsing Yi, and the leader was a pale-faced young man, thin and handsome, and in addition to the long knife he carried, he also carried a dark longbow on his back. But there was a sickly look in his expression and demeanor, and he looked like he was going to fall off his horse at any moment.
As soon as Tsing Yi arrived, the officers and soldiers who were escorting the criminals immediately greeted him and whispered to the Thousand Households with a smile.
After a moment, the pale-faced Qianhu raised his head, his gaze swept over the chaotic sinners in front of him, who were divided into teams of a thousand people, and waved his hand weakly at the men behind him.
The elite soldiers under his command were immediately divided into ten teams, and under the command of the hundred households, they were inserted into the ranks of the criminals, and every 100 Kowloon Tsing Yi were responsible for 1,000 criminals.
However, after a while, Jiulong Tsing Yi finished cleaning up the team, and Qianhu said lightly to the criminals: "Seven killings: vain words to confuse the crowd to kill, sabotage and escape, fist fighting and killing, night wandering and sleeping, snatching food and hiding food to kill, cowardly crying and killing, pretending to be deaf and dumb to kill!"
His voice was also weak, it sounded like the hiss of a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, although it was light, but every word was so clear!
"In short," Qianhu finally made a helpless gesture: "Let you do whatever you want, and anything else you do will surely die." ”
