Chapter 8 A Tomb on a Barren Mountain

The autumn rains are still unstoppable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The three people walking behind Nanyuan were also as gloomy as this autumn rain.

Four people, one old and three young, one before and three behind, just walked in silence, and before they knew it, they had left Xijiang City and came to a barren hill.

Perhaps because they knew that the old man in Nanyuan's mouth was a dead person, and Nanyuan, who had been extremely lonely since this morning, Bai Fengyin and the three of them were also not in a high mood at the moment, and followed him far behind him with their heads down.

At this moment, beyond a small hill, a small, raised mound appeared in the distance.

The mound stood somewhat abruptly in the bare hills, and there were some yellowed weeds growing on it, and in front of it stood a somewhat broken stone monument.

It's a tomb.

Soon, Bai Fengyin and the three of them came to their senses, and they realized that the owner of the tomb in front of them should be the old man in Nanyuankou.

While thinking about this, Nanyuan, who was walking in front, still walked in front of the humble tomb and slowly stopped.

The three of them glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.

When they got closer, Nan Yuan had already taken out the paper money and piled it up in front of the tomb, and then with a wave of spiritual power in his hand, a spiritual flame flew out, and the pile of paper money was burning at that time.

Through the firelight, which was not scorching, Bai Fengyin and the three of them finally saw the handwriting carved on the stone tablet - the tomb of the first god of the Great Wei Dynasty.

View the sea.

Naturally it won't be an unfamiliar name.

This is true even for teenagers like Bai Fengyin.

Of course, they didn't know anything that was too far away, but a few years ago, the bloody battle in Xijiang City was enough for him to leave a name in history.

With an army of 100,000, he resisted Tuoba Yuanwu, who had a million troops, for several days, and finally together with him, all the 100,000 troops were killed.

After all, Bai Fengyin and the others were young and couldn't imagine how tragic that battle was, but just thinking of that situation, thinking of the 100,000 versus 100,000 would rather die than surrender, and thinking of the 100,000 people burying their bones, such words were enough to make the blood in the chests of these young people surge, and their eyes were moist.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that as the former first god general of Great Wei, his tomb would be so simple.

At this time, the paper money burned out, and the confetti turned into ashes rose all over the sky, like some kind of sacred ritual, which made the surrounding atmosphere a little depressing.

Nan Yuan sat down on the ground and opened the seal on the jar full of wine.

A mellow aroma overflowed.

Although Bai Fengyin and the three of them don't like to drink, from this taste, they can probably guess that this wine is worth a lot of money.

"When we met in the past, I was still young, and I always thought that wine was a charming thing and an ominous thing, so I never had the opportunity to drink with you. Nan Yuan said this, his voice was low, and the light in his eyes was deep, as if he had fallen into some kind of uncontrollable memory.

"But it's ridiculous. He suddenly lifted the jar and placed it on the tip of his nose, and his face showed a hint of intoxication.

"After many years, I fell in love with it. So saying, he raised his head and poured the wine from the jar into his throat.

After a few sips of grunting booze, he put down the jar, stretched out his sleeve to wipe the wine stains from his mouth, and looked back at the hill. There was a smile on his face that couldn't tell whether it was crazy or bitter.

"It's just a pity that I haven't had a chance to drink with you again. ”

With that, he tilted the jar in his hand, and the wine in it turned into a long line of water, and fell, splashing the tombstone in front of the grave.

After doing this, Nan Yuan let out another long sigh, he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and then bowed down and bowed solemnly to the person in the tomb.

Bai Fengyin and the three of them glanced at each other at this time, and they also stepped forward one after another, and bowed to the person in the tomb in his appearance, with the same solemn expression.

"This is what the predecessors said were heroes?" Bai Fengyin asked as he looked at the humble tomb. There was a gloomy look on his face that did not belong to him for his age.

"Hmm. For the sentient beings of Xijiang, he led an army of 100,000 to defend a city, and finally all of them died in battle. Such a person, do you think he is a hero?" Nan Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Naturally. Li Geting on the side nodded.

Such people should not be forgotten. Nomadic Gu also took over the conversation.

"Is this tomb the tombstone erected by the predecessors for the gods?" Bai Fengyin suddenly turned his head and asked as if he remembered something.

"It's not. Nan Yuan shook his head. "When Guan Canghai died, I was no longer in Xijiang City, and this tombstone was secretly erected for him by the people in Xijiang City. ”

"Secretly?" the three of them were puzzled.

Even if Guancanghai is a great Wei general, he is a loyal and righteous person, so why should he be sneaky about erecting a monument for him?

After Tuoba Yuanwu defeated Guancanghai, he was angry at their stubborn resistance, so he hung Guancanghai's body in front of Xijiang City for a few days, and no one was allowed to bury him, so as to deter the Taishou of the rest of the towns. ”

It was only when they led the army eastward that the people of the city were able to find his body and bury it quietly. Nan Yuan said slowly without hurrying.

"Phew, these barbarians are so not things!" Bai Fengyin suddenly became angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold.

"It's just, it's cruel. Li Geting's brows also furrowed slightly, such a thing as war is too far away for them teenagers after all, and without personal experience, they will never be able to understand the cruelty in it.

"Senior Nan, rest assured, when I cultivate again, I will definitely enter the barbarian land, and let those barbarians taste the taste of the separation of his wife and the shattering of his family and country. Nomadic Gu also said at this time.

But as soon as these words came out, Nan Yuan nodded and looked at Nomadic Gu, and the look on his face suddenly became solemn.

"War is always something that the superior imposes on the inferior for the sake of his own desires, and if you understand his terribleness, don't make him any more. Cherish this hard-won peace. He said meaningfully.

Such a lesson could not help but be a bit harsh, and the nomadic Gu who realized that he had said the wrong thing shrank his head.

Bai Fengyin also glanced at his junior brother, then turned his head to look at Nanyuan and asked, "Senior Nan, isn't there a cemetery specially set up for the gods and generals in Chang'an City?"

Of course, he had good intentions when he said this, but he couldn't bear to see a loyal man buried in this barren mountain and wilderness with such scruples.

But who knew that Nanyuan shook his head at this moment.

He looked up at the sky, and he didn't know when the autumn rain was heavy again.

This time, he didn't open his spiritual power, but let the autumn rain fall on his clothes.

"Just let him stay here. ”

"Accompany those dead soldiers..."

"I also accompanied this Xijiang City that he didn't want to leave until he died..."
