Chapter 125: Birds Hanging on the Cliff
Gu Yuan subconsciously looked at Liu Wencheng, but saw Liu Wencheng, who had always claimed to be well-informed, shook his head and said that he didn't know.
Gu Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "You said that the patriarchs of the past dynasties were wrong, what does this mean?"
"If the Wu Clan is not cut off from the outside world, how can they have fallen to such a state?" Tie Lei's tone was very hateful.
"If you were the patriarch, what would you do?" Gu Yuan asked meaningfully.
"Of course, I want to get out of the great wilderness in a peaceful way and return to southern Xinjiang. After saying that, Tie Lei smiled bitterly again: "How is this possible?"
Gu Yuan replied casually: "Why is it impossible?"
"I will never become the patriarch, and the witch will never be able to set foot on that land without shedding a drop of blood. Tie Lei suddenly became furious, "Cui Huan actually led his clan to attack Dayan, and the Wu clan would be killed by him!"
"He has occupied a large area of land in southern Xinjiang. Gu Yuan said.
"To unite with the vine armor army is to seek skin with the tiger. Tie Lei was very sure: "He will not succeed." ”
"That's why you're staying here?" Gu Yuan said after looking at Tie Lei seriously for a long time.
"I don't want my people to lose their lives in vain, and I don't want to kill innocents. Tie Lei raised his face, his eyes full of determination.
Gu Yuan smiled: "Why do I think your latter sentence seems to be said to me?"
Tie Lei's swarthy face was slightly red, and his eyes were a little dodgy.
"I'm not going to kill you. ”
"Your Excellency!!"
"I've made up my mind. Gu Yuan still didn't say a word in his heart, "If even a group of children are afraid, what dare does he have to fight for the world?"
"Let's go. ”
Gu Yuan turned around decisively, but his men were still staring at the group of children viciously, refusing to leave.
"You wait!" Tie Lei suddenly called out to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan turned around in confusion, and Tie Lei said, "Are you going to Longkou Pass?"
Gu Yuan neither nodded nor shook his head, just looked at Tie Lei calmly, waiting for his next step.
"It's full of witches there. Tie Lei didn't mean to look down on Gu Yuan and the others in the slightest, but was expounding a fact, "There are too few of you. ”
Gu Yuan didn't feel that it was a child who was talking to him, nor did he remember that Tie Lei was a witch, so he replied helplessly: "I only have so many people available." ”
"There are more than a thousand people in Guancheng, and you are not their opponents. ”
Gu Yuan was thinking about the intention of Tie Lei's words.
"I have a solution. After speaking, Tie Lei glanced at a big boy, who immediately led a few people into the cottage, and after a while came back with five large cages, which were covered with black cloths and quite mysterious.
Tie Lei pulled off the black cloth on a cage, and suddenly there was a noisy rat cry, there were dozens of rats inside, there was a circle of golden hair around the neck, and the eyes were like snake pupils, giving people a cold feeling.
"These are all rat pets raised by the rat god. Tie Lei looked at Gu Yuandao, who didn't know why: "If you release these brocade-haired rats when attacking Longkou Pass, they will tie their hands and feet, so that your chances of winning will be much greater." ”
Gu Yuan looked at Tie Lei several times from head to toe, and said in surprise: "You want me to use these brocade rats against your clansmen?"
"My people are all there for me. Tie Lei smiled, and quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Those people will only make the Wu Clan fall into a land of no return, and it is better that they are dead!"
Gu Yuan found that Tie Lei, a child, was really ruthless.
Gu Yuan suddenly thought of the ghost fire, so he thought of his master, and said, "Where is your Rat God?" ”
Tie Lei shook his head and said in a depressed mood: "After the flood, Lord Rat God has lost his trace. ”
"...... like this" Gu Yuan inevitably felt lost, he didn't doubt Tie Lei's words, because he swept the entire cottage with his divine sense, and he didn't even perceive a powerful aura within a hundred zhang.
What's more, if the Rat God was really nearby, and his men were murderous, the mysterious Rat God should have made a move a long time ago.
Quickly cheered up, Gu Yuan waved goodbye to Tie Lei, the cage containing the brocade rat was carried by several soldiers, as long as it was covered with a black cloth, the rat cry would stop, and it was learned from Tie Lei's mouth that the brocade rat was extremely afraid of the dark, and once the darkness went down, they would lie upright on the ground and would not make a sound.
......
It was not far from the cliff, and when the thirsty 300 or so people saw the magnificent Woniu River, they couldn't help but want to pounce on it to drink water, if Liu Wencheng hadn't stopped it in time, I was afraid they would all have been poisoned to death.
The Woniu River, polluted by miasma, is a flowing poisonous river, and drinking a handful of water is enough to kill, otherwise how could a witch not drink water and drink raw blood?
The Wolong River is 300 zhang wide, and there is a vertical cliff on the other side of the river, on which is the Longkou Pass where Gu Yuan and others have been looking for nearly a month.
"I still don't think I should let those witch kids go. After walking a few miles, Liu Wencheng was still haunted by the events of the morning.
"People have to have a bottom line. Gu Yuan said: "Besides, those children can't pose a threat to us at all. ”
"If they inform the witches in Longkou Pass to take precautions, then we will be miserable?" Liu Wencheng's brows furrowed.
"You're always looking at people too complicated, and if you want to keep it simple, you will feel that many things have become much simpler. ”
"I always felt that you had ulterior motives for leaving those children, and you wouldn't be kind for no reason. Liu Wencheng looked at Gu Yuan's side face, and then turned his gaze to the pair of antlers on Gu Yuan's head.
Gu Yuan didn't say anything more about the complexity of Liu Wencheng's thoughts, but blinked and said, "Guess." ”
......
Longkou Pass was captured by Gu Yuan and others, and sure enough, as Tie Lei said, after the brocade rat was released, the witches were all tied, for fear of stepping on the rat pet of the rat god.
Of course, this is only one of the keys to their victory, and the reason why they were able to capture Longkou Pass without danger was because there were only more than 100 witches in the city. Gu Yuan didn't think that Tie Lei was lying, there may have been more than 1,000 people when the witches captured Longkou Pass, but it was not their goal to capture the pass, what they wanted was the destruction of Dayan, so they continued to march towards southern Xinjiang, leaving only more than 100 people to garrison.
This gave Gu Yuan and the others a chance, and even Gu Yuan felt that climbing the cliff was much more difficult than capturing Longkou Pass, many of them were still shallow in cultivation, and the cliff was dozens of zhang higher than that of Wanfu Pass.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan had the foresight to cover everyone when climbing the cliff to prevent the screams from alarming the witches when they fell off the cliff. After a lot of hardships, he finally reached the top, and in the process of fighting with the witches, Gu originally thought that the witches didn't know how to launch the formation, but later learned that the formation that protected the Longkou Pass was destroyed, and it should be the vine armor army stationed in the gate city that received the order to destroy the formation, so that the witches could enter the pass at will.
