Chapter Eighty-Seven: Heaven and Earth Are Unkind

"Why is it impossible? Do you think that you are not qualified to join the Xuanyi Temple?" Peng Rou looked directly at Cheng Kun and asked rhetorically.

"Haha, the general is right, although Xuanyiguan is transcendent from the world, Cheng Kun will naturally not give up this opportunity. He was so excited by Peng Rou's words, and his heart was full of pride.

Indeed, although Xuanyiguan is strong, there are probably not too many disciples who can cultivate to this point at his age, and he doesn't need to be arrogant at all.

Peng Rou said again: "But don't be too careless, the recent changes in the situation in the imperial capital have been widely implicated, even if your qualifications have passed the test of entry, the head of the master may not necessarily accept you to get started." Because after all, you have the brand of the Joyama Army, and I can't predict what Menchu thinks about it now. ”

Cheng Kun didn't care, it was an extra surprise, and the opportunity to see the entrance test was already worth the ticket price, and he didn't force it to join or not.

............

Heavy snow is falling in Youzhou, moving your eyes further north, and the vast grassland is also covered with heavy snow, and it has been raining for a day.

Countless herders wept at the frozen cattle and sheep outside the tents, which were the most precious possessions of the herdsmen's family, but now after the heavy snowfall, all of them have been lost.

But they didn't have time to grieve, so in order not to starve to death, they had to brave the heavy snow and endure the bitter cold of more than 40 degrees below zero to run outside to cut off the meat of the dead cattle and sheep and store it.

This meat is also the winter ration for most herdsmen's families, and if the meat is eaten and the winter has not passed, they will starve to death.

There are very few families on the steppe who have iron tools at home, and the best tool for most men is a sharp knife sharpened by their own horns, and they take out the mutton fat and apply it to their hands and ears, this is to prevent frostbite, but it is difficult to say how effective it is.

In fact, after this winter, many of those who survive will freeze their fingers and toes because of the biting cold.

And even if such people are abolished, they can't ride horses, let alone hold swords, and they don't even sell themselves to the big nobles in the Huns as slaves.

Zar Khan rode his war horse and stood in the wind and snow, and beside him, the commander of the Golden Wolf Guard, Subu, and his henchman Attila were half a position behind, carefully shielding themselves from the wind and snow with their bodies. Behind them was a golden wolf guard numbering about two hundred.

These golden wolf guards were shooting arrows with their bows and arrows in mind, and their enemies were a pack of wolves that had been tortured by hunger to the point of madness.

The number of wolves was about seventy, and they were hungry and skinny, with green eyes and only bloodthirsty madness in their eyes. They crave to kill these humans, bite their throats, suck warm blood, and fill their shriveled stomachs with their flesh.

Unfortunately, it turns out that this is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Under the superb archery skills of the Golden Wolf Guard, these wild wolves did not get any benefits, although they went forward and attacked, and the attack did not stop, but they still died under the arrows.

Not far away, the wolf king saw that the members of the clan had been sacrificed, but none of the humans were injured and died, and he couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and let out an extremely sad howl.

The other wolves responded, and for a moment the wolf howl resounded in Zarhan's ears, but he did not hear the wolf's pride from the howl, but felt more like the wailing of a lost dog.

The wolf king's long howl was an order, and all the members stopped the attack in unison, turned their heads and prepared to flee.

They have come to terms with the reality and no longer expect to kill these humans, and if they continue to fight like this, the entire wolf pack will die.

But Zarhan turned around and gave the order: "Everyone do it together, don't let a wolf go." ”

The Golden Wolf Guard responded in unison, and the rain of arrows suddenly intensified.

After two volleys, there were only three or two surviving members of the wolf pack, and one of them was the wolf king. As the leader, it was able to enjoy the few things it feat, which also allowed it to maintain more stamina so that it could avoid the rain of arrows.

But its struggle ended there, and in the next second, Zarhan took out the bow on his back and shot the wolf king to death with only one arrow. Because of its speed, the arrow cut a clear path in the wind and snow, and finally pierced the wolf king's head with great precision.

There was no smug look on Zarhan's face, and the remaining golden wolf guards walked over without his order, and skillfully slit the throats of these newly dead wild wolves, and used their helmets as utensils to hold the steaming wolf blood.

The wolf king's eyes had turned into two holes, and he didn't see this scene. They wanted to drink human blood, but they didn't expect these people to have the same idea, and it seemed that these humans were even more murderous than they were.

Zarhan took the helmet handed by his subordinates, and drank the wolf's blood with a tilt of his head.

I have to say that this taste is really far worse than mare's milk wine, and after drinking it, my mouth is full of fishy smell.

But his body has a little more warmth, and for the golden wolf guards behind him who are running with him in the wind and snow, these wolf blood are even more rare treasures.

After the wolf blood was cleaned, the Golden Wolf Guard also collected all the wolf meat and put it on horseback, and the temperature was so low that there was no need to worry about the meat going bad.

Suddenly, Zarhan looked into the distance, and a team loomed in his eyes, this team was walking very slowly, and the formation was not at all neat, and there was a large string of sparse trails behind it.

Zarhan immediately stepped forward, followed by Subu and Attila.

As he approached, Zarhan saw the size of the team, and he shouted in an angry tone, "Lantuo, why did you only save so many people this time?"

Lantuo walked in front of Zarhan, dismounted and knelt on the ground, his forehead resting on the hard and cold snow: "Returning to the plough and being alone, Lantuo has done his best. Just yesterday, a hailstorm swept through the area. By the time I led the people to this tribe, there were only so many of them left. ”

His voice contained helplessness, how small the power of human beings is under such a natural disaster.

Zarhan stopped talking, he looked up at the sky, his eyes closed, hiding the pain in his eyes. He was familiar with this tribe, and over the years, he had drawn a lot of adult men from this tribe into the army.

But now, just a sudden hailstorm has pushed this tribe of thousands to a desperate situation. Only more than 100 people were rescued by Lantuo, and most of them were women and children.

This is tantamount to declaring that the tribe has died out completely, and those who survive will merge into the other tribes and continue to struggle for survival.

Zarhan's heart was full of sorrow.

What injustice the heavens are to the people of the grassland, he has never clearly realized the cruelty of nature and the ruthlessness of heaven as he did at this moment.

The people of the Central Plains once said, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs", but why are the people of the grassland always used as sacrifices, but those people of the Central Plains can be born with fertile land to cultivate, and do not need to bear the "black plague" and "white plague" year after year?

Zarhan roared in his heart, he will never give up, even if the sky is unkind, he will lead his people to fight for a future with swords and arrows!
