Chapter 498, the barracks are in danger
As more and more poisonous blood flowed into Yi Xuan's body, he only felt dizzy, and finally his body was crooked and fainted......
When he woke up again, he was no longer in the grass hut, his parents and the old man around him were nowhere to be seen, and there was no scar on his hands, everything was as vivid as a dream. Shushu.com Fastest update Yi Xuan's parents died early since he was a child, and he no longer had the slightest impression of his real parents, but the strong family affection for his parents in the illusion just now lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be calm, and a strange feeling that had not been seen for a long time came to his heart.
Most of the forty-nine monks who participated in the second round of the competition were still mixed in the first three and four floors of the tower, only sixteen monks were above the fifth floor, and the first in the first place, Sun Jingshan, had broken through to the ninth floor, and there were still two people who had reached the eighth floor, namely Zhong Li Haocang and the Qingtao Building Master Quan Tiangang, who was ranked eleven among the applicants in terms of combat power, and then Yi Xuan and the remaining four monks on the seventh floor. Each monk has a different understanding of the way of heaven, and each person's way of passing the level is also very different, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
After sitting on the ground for a long time, Yi Xuan cleaned up his mood and got up to check his surroundings: he was in a chaotic and noisy military camp, wearing bright silver armor, and from time to time there were various sergeants saluting him, and a small colonel ran in the distance and shouted at Yi Xuan: "General, I can find you! The scout horse sent yesterday has returned and is waiting outside your camp." ”
Yi Xuan followed the colonel to a huge tent, several guards and two scouts were waiting in front of the door, and when they saw Yi Xuan returning, they bowed and saluted: "Meet the general, I was ordered to investigate the enemy's movements last night, and specially replied to the general." ”
Looking at the two scouts carefully, both of them had anxiety in their eyes that could not be concealed, and they were very eager to report the enemy's situation, Yi Xuan welcomed the two into the tent and instructed the guards not to disturb others.
"Tell me, what did you two find?"
The two scouts, the older of the two scouts, stood with their hands arched and said respectfully: "General, I went to the enemy camp last night to investigate, and found that the enemy had reinforced tens of thousands of people again, and now the number has been several times that of our army, and the situation is critical, so please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
"What? The enemy army has come to reinforce again? We have been fighting again for several months, and both sides have suffered casualties, but our army's reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and the other side's reinforcements continue to arrive, and if this continues, there will only be the end of the whole army!" Yi Xuan was terrified in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be nothing.
"Not only that, but the villain has discovered that the enemy army has begun to assemble, ready to march towards our two flanks, and in less than half a day it will form an encirclement, and then it will be impossible to escape!" another scout added an even more grim military message.
The face of the little colonel who entered the tent with Yi Xuan changed greatly, and when the two scouts were unprepared, he waved two palms, knocked the two unconscious to the ground, and said to Yi Xuan: "General, the military situation they reported is true, but it must not be quiet, otherwise it is very easy to cause turmoil, even if you want to withdraw, you will not have a chance." ”
Yi Xuan was noncommittal and asked the little colonel: "Then according to you, how should you deal with it?"
"The humble position believes that the two should be killed, and at the same time secretly arrange for the general's personal guards to be ready to go, and take the general to break out of the siege together, and the humble duty is willing to follow the army behind the palace to buy more time for the general. ”
Yi Xuan did not indulge in the role changes given by the environment this time, calmly listened to the analysis of the little colonel, shook his head and said: "The two of them are loyal to their duties, if they are just to protect the military situation, they will take people's lives, where is the military law? As an army in charge, I do not want to forge ahead when I encounter a strong enemy, but I want to abandon the crowd and flee, and the heavens are intolerable! You seem to be loyal and considerate, but in fact you are demagogic, you are the real culprit, come and capture me!"
The guards outside the tent heard Yi Xuan's call for help, and rushed to take down the colonel, Yi Xuan personally woke up the two scouts, and then summoned the army to gather, stood on the tower and informed all the sergeants of the details, thinking that it would cause great chaos, but the generals were indignant and prepared to fight against the water.
Yi Xuan took advantage of the situation to gather the army, led all the soldiers to the direction of the enemy's main camp, and fought bravely along the way, killing the enemy so that the enemy lost his armor, but his own casualties became heavier and heavier, and finally he was surrounded by the enemy regiment less than a mile away from the enemy's commander.
Although besieged by several times the enemy's army, Yi Xuan's soldiers were still fearless, stubbornly charging the enemy again and again, and fiercely entangled with the enemy until the last soldier was killed. In the end, Yi Xuan no longer had any of his own soldiers around him, and he was seriously injured, but he relied on the Qingfeng Sword in his hand to support his body.
The little colonel who had just been captured came out of nowhere and loudly accused Yi Xuan: "According to my plan just now, at least hundreds of thousands of people can escape, and it is because of your stubbornness that all the soldiers are buried here, and you are the real sinner." See how you face the dead soldiers?"
Yi Xuan laughed, pulling the injury, blood gushed out from all wounds, but he was not moved at all, and said loudly: "The sages have a cloud: people have to do something, and then they can do something." Although you know that obeying my orders is to die generously, but you still follow me as usual, how can a villain like you understand this kind of friendship!"
The little colonel continued to bewitch and said: "The ants are still stealing their lives, why should the general be bent on seeking death? As long as you can surrender, you can continue to be your general, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
Yi Xuan took a deep breath, swung the last sword with all his might, pierced the little school's heart with a sword, his body lost support and fell to the ground, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, Yi Xuan smiled, gradually closed his eyes, and muttered: "I understand......"
After these two rounds of illusion, Yi Xuan understood in his heart the intention of the ancestors of the Gongliang family to set up the trial tower, which was to make the monk convinced of his Taoism, as long as he insisted on his own philosophy and never wavered, he could complete the test of the illusion. The outcome of the incident itself is not important, whether it is sacrificing oneself to save one's father or leading his subordinates to be generous and righteous, it is something that he thinks is duty-bound.
After fulfilling the two wishes, Yi Xuan no longer had any doubts in his heart, there might be someone who would use the old man who repaid the favor to leave his life, and he would also obey the arrangement of the junior colonel and abandon the crowd and flee, but he would not be able to make such a choice anyway;
Yi Xuan opened his eyes again, and the surrounding scene changed again, gray and black, the wind gusted, and the ghosts cried wolves...... It doesn't look like a human region, it's more like a legendary netherworld. Having lived alone in the Ghost Country before, Yi Xuan didn't have much fear in his heart, and when he looked around, he found a vague dim light, as if a figure was shaking......
