Chapter 002: Hongmen Banquet
As a 'prisoner', everyone can't eat, can't dress warmly, and is frightened all day long, in this case, someone has a little beauty '**', and can eat and drink enough, which is really envious, jealous and hateful.
The surrounding boss circled the prisoners who were also in ragged clothes, all with bright eyes, smearing their horns, looking at this side with fierce eyes, and they looked like starving ghosts reincarnated.
It's a pity that the rice bowl is in Wen Bin's hands, and he only cares about burying his head in the rice from beginning to end, and he doesn't plan to look at this group of people at all.
What about envy, jealousy, and hatred? Looking at it is not just looking at it!
As the young man divided the bowl of rice by two, everyone next to him had to secretly swallow saliva in their stomachs, and they looked away helplessly.
It was only at this time that Wen Bin put down his rice bowl, reached out to cover his mouth, and spit out the white jade wine jug that Fang had just dropped in the bowl in a low-key manner.
He also wanted to study what this thing was, but now there are many people, and it is inevitable to show off the market, obviously not the time, after thinking about it, he quietly put it in his arms, and kept it close to his heart.
Who knew that after a while, and when he touched it again, the small and delicate white jade wine jug disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of it.
At the same time, the heart was cold, as if there were countless clear streams flowing slowly up and down Zhou's body, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Ugh. β
Wen Bin reached out and stroked his chest, surprised.
What's going on?
Don't......
Did it melt into my body?
The situation was too weird, Wen Bin couldn't figure it out, so he carefully rummaged up and down all over his body, still no, he still wanted to continue, it happened that Yan Jing's girl came back, and she didn't eat honestly, so she had nothing to do and pulled a lot of dog tail grass to harass him, the two of you chased me and ran away, and after a while, even he himself left the inexplicably missing white jade wine jug behind.
In the evening of May, the sultry heat finally began to reveal a hint of coolness.
It was still dark, but the dark clouds did not let the rain fall after all, and after dinner, the group continued on their way, until the moonlit treetops, and then settled in a small wood.
The soldiers began to whip their skins, ordered the captives to work, and set aside some of them to go out hunting.
Wen Bin looks like just a thin young man with a delicate appearance, and Yan Jing is a little girl's family, so there is nothing to do with them, and the two of them are also happy, so they chose a big tree nearby with the warmth of the bonfire, leaned on each other, and sat under the tree to take a nap.
After a hard day's journey, everyone was exhausted, but at this moment, Wen Bin dozed off, and suddenly felt that his chest was like a flame, burning violently in his body!
What's going on?
The skin around Wen Bin began to turn red gradually, and even Yan Jing beside him quickly noticed his abnormality and jumped up suddenly, while at the same time, he had shrunk into a ball, and his face was hideously crooked, rolling around in pain.
At this time, Wen Bin only felt a heart-rending pain all over his body, but he didn't know that his whole body had been wrapped in raging fire, and the crazy Cheng DΓΉ seemed to burn it to ashes!
"Xiaowen!" Seeing this, Yan Jing next to him hurriedly took off his coat anxiously and slapped him desperately in an attempt to extinguish the fire.
The nearby prisoners, some of whom were kind, also came to help.
However, in such a situation, Wen Bin himself did not feel the slightest feeling at all.
At this time, his consciousness seemed to have entered another dimension, and he couldn't even feel the pain. ...,
"Give me your body," said a tall voice in the darkness, "You give it to me, I will give you an immortal soul, reborn in the immortal realm, if not, let your soul be destroyed, and you will not be reborn forever!"
"Who are you?" Wen Bin was startled, surprised.
"I'm just asking you if you're doing it?" the other party did not answer, but continued to be aggressive.
Wen Bin was silent for a moment, and replied, "No, I won't do it." β
"Why?" the mysterious voice said strangely, "As a mortal, don't we all want to become immortals? Why don't you? Do you want to be burned alive like this?"
"I don't want to!"
"That ......"
"There's something wrong with you!" Wen Bin was depressed by his question, and said angrily: "I have my life, I have my way, and I have the people I want to protect, I don't want to die yet, and I can't die!
β......β
Perhaps the obsession with survival was too strong, so the mysterious voice in consciousness was silent.
Wen Bin didn't know what he was possessed of, he only remembered that when he was a child, he heard his mother say that demons and spirits can invade the body of evil people, but they can't destroy the will of people, as long as their will is strong enough, they can resist the temptation of evil demons.
Therefore, at this time, he had no distracting thoughts, but just desperately told himself: I can't die! I can't die! I still have to take care of Xiaoqing, and I have to find my lost parents, I must not die like this!
The soul of the Emperor of Heaven attached to Wen Bin was not harmless to people's hearts, but he was unwilling to be attached to a mortal, so he wanted to trade with him by forceful means, but he didn't expect it......
He is strong, this young man's will is stronger than him!
Hmph, little one, count you off.
The Heavenly Emperor, who had become a soul state, had no choice but to take away the immortal method, extinguish the flames that burned Wen Bin's body, and continue to attach himself to this young man unwillingly and reluctantly.
......
By the time Wen Bin woke up again, the flames on his body had been extinguished, but his clothes were intact. There was a group of strange-looking people around him, and there were people who were about to splash a water bladder on him, but fortunately he woke up in time, otherwise he would have become a soup chicken.
"Hey, what's the matter with you, get to work!" came the sound of the soldiers scolding from outside the crowd.
"Oh, it's okay, there's a kid who passed out and is now awake. The crowd was afraid of the obscenity of the whip, and hurriedly dispersed: "This is the work, this is the work." β
Xiao Jing carefully helped Wen Bin to sit up, and said worriedly: "Xiaowen, are you okay?"
"Well, it's fine. Wen Bin smiled.
The scene of life and death just now, although it made people secretly frightened, but he was reluctant to say it, which made Xiao Jing frightened.
I guess we won't repeat the same mistakes, right?
Wen Bin stroked his heart with some fear and sighed quietly.
After a while, the soldiers who went out to hunt had already dragged the game back, and a group of gangsters cheered, began to kill chickens and sheep, and then stuffed in five-flavor condiments, and skewered thick branches to make a bonfire barbecue, and soon, the oil was stuffy out, and the aroma of the barbecue was scattered and elegant, which was extremely attractive.
You must know that all the people on this barren mountain and wild mountain have not touched oil and meat for more than half a month, and the soldiers are also very excited in the face of the delicious food, they drink soju without any scruples, while sharing barbecue, and dancing with their hands.
As prisoners, the people looked at the delicious food close at hand, but they had no chance to enjoy it, so they had to swallow saliva in their stomachs.
This was nothing, but who knows, after a while, the group of bastards who were eating, drinking, and having fun, I don't know what they heard again, suddenly burst into laughter, and then, from which jumped a person, in his twenties, with a sturdy physique, and a drunken look, dangled there, and said: "Kill, what's the big deal about killing a few prisoners of war, ah? hehehe, as long as ...... As long as the brothers are happy, the boss may not be reluctant, isn't it, boss!"...,
"Huh. In a series of sighs and shouts, a man next to him, sitting cross-legged under a tree, looking about forty years old, chuckled a few times, and said: "How do you like to play, I won't stop you, but I sue you, strong and beautiful, don't move, these are all goods that can be sold at a good price." β
"Don't worry, boss, I know!" The guy dealt with it indiscriminately, drew his saber, shook his eyes left and right, casually pointed to a nearby prisoner of war, leaned over with bad intentions, 'hehe' sneered twice, and said: "Hey, you, play with the master, there is delicious food here, ah! As long as you win the master, the master can eat as you want, how about it?"
The man swallowed in his stomach, looked at him tremblingly, and shrank on the ground without daring to support him.
"Talking to you! Lao Tzu is still standing, you dare to sit!" As if carrying a chicken boy, the soldier who stepped forward to provoke grabbed the placket of the man's shirt and picked it up at once, and before he could stand firmly, he turned his face to look at his companion next to him, and beckoned: "How to play with this set of shackles, take it off for him!"
While instigating someone to remove the shackles for him, the guy turned around again, like a dog, and pulled out a rusty iron sword from the pile of debris, picked it on its toes, kicked it, and said hypocritically: "Warm up with the master, how can you do it without a weapon?" Come on, come on, this sword is borrowed from you, you can take it!"
The man had unshackled his legs, and a tattered rusty sword had been shoved into his hand, and before he could understand what was going on, he had already been pushed into the field by the soldier next to him.
"What to do, what to do?" The current situation, there was no time to react to him, and the unfortunate guy was stunned to ask a sentence just now, only to see the other party shouting, swooping over, holding a fine iron war knife, and slashing down on his head!
Hmmmββ
didn't even resist at all, and was split in half with a single sword!
β......β
Blood splattered, and there was silence in the audience.
"Ahh
After a while, the onlookers finally reacted, and they were so frightened that they turned their backs and wanted to run away.
While brandishing leather whips and vigorously suppressing them, the soldiers spared no effort in shouting: "Don't move! Whoever dares to run around will be slaughtered first!" As he spoke, another 'crackling' whip fell, causing the group of vulnerable people to scream again and again, and after a brief riot, they were again lambs to the slaughter under violent suppression.
The cause, process, and result of this incident, Wen Bin saw it in his eyes, but he didn't move at all.
Because he didn't move, he also survived the 'kiss' of the whip, and the only action he made was to subconsciously stretch out his arm, wrap his arms around Yan Jing's shoulders, and half-hug her into his arms.
Although Yan Jing's body did not resist, his mouth was not convinced, he snuggled into the young man's arms, and whispered in his ear: "I'm not afraid, I can beat him with one hand!"
Wen Bin turned his head to look at her, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, he didn't say anything, but stubbornly refused to let go.
"Go on. The soldier from before held a blood-stained knife, twisted his head as if moving his muscles and bones, and pointed the white blade in his hand at another lamb: "You, just you, come out and play with the master!"
The guy who was pointed at was so frightened that he trembled all over, trembling and couldn't even get up, knowing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to enter the field, and only supported for a few seconds under the commanding soldier, and then he was beheaded and splashed with blood with a 'bang'.
"Good!"
"Beautiful!"
"One more! one more!"
The soldiers next to him laughed and shouted loudly, and the bloody scene of killing people in front of them was like watching pigs and sheep slaughtered in front of them. ...,
β......β
Seeing the severed head of his companion fly into the air and fall down again, covered with mud and dirt, and the 'bones' rolled all over the ground, more than 100 prisoners of war were all frightened and trembling, and everyone became self-endangered.
It's horrible, it's horrible......
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became oppressive and cruel.
"You!"
At this time, the blood-stained knife kept pointing at the other lamb.
"No, no, no, I don't want it!" was so frightened that the guy was pale, and as soon as he took off his shackles, he didn't even dare to take the rusty long sword, and after being forced into the field, he had no intention of fighting at all, and turned his back and wanted to run away.
Wen Bin looked at it, and it was a coincidence that the direction that the guy chose happened to be facing him.
He originally wanted to pull Yan Jing to dodge for a while, but then he only heard a 'bang', and as soon as the guy ran close to three or five steps in front of him, he was chased by a steel knife behind him like a gust of wind, piercing through his chest violently, and then spurting out a mouthful of blood with 'wow', his eyes rolled up, and he fell to the ground with a 'poof' and died.
Bright red blood splashed out and fell on the faces of the young girl in front of him, hot as oil!
Wen Bin suddenly felt that his eyes were a little red.
"What a straw bag!" The murderous demon with a disdainful expression on his face, spat on the ground, stepped forward, stepped on the back of the fallen man, reached out and pulled back the big knife that was thrown out, this time it was better, even the left and right eyes were saved, he straightened his arm directly, raised the knife and pointed at the thin and thin young man in front of him, almost without thinking about it, and simply spit out a word: "You." β
This single word is enough to sentence a person to death.
Stunned, numb, and inexplicable feelings suddenly solidified in Wen Bin's wide-open eyes.
Sonorous!
Before Wen Bin could react, the seemingly delicate little girl in his arms had already broken free in an instant, proudly straightened her waist, put her hands above the top, straightened the chain steadily, and stopped in front of him, her voice was so cold that she couldn't hear any emotion: "If you want to play with me, don't trouble him." β
The audience was stunned!
"No, I heard you right!" The guy with the big knife almost laughed so much that he almost broke out, and subconsciously turned his head to look at their boss, and sighed very emotionally: "This girl is really delicious!" Then, he turned around and sneered unceremoniously on the spot: "You kid is hiding behind a woman, what a!"
"What do you have to do!" Yan Jing's reaction was like a fierce little beast, but it was much more intense than Jiang Wen, and he jumped up directly, not even in a hurry to untie the shackles and leg cuffs, so he wanted to rush up to find someone desperately.
As soon as he took a step forward, he was stopped by a hand stretched out from behind him and hugged him back.
"Freedom. Wen Bin sighed lightly and spit out two words seriously.
"What?" the other party clearly didn't understand.
So he went a step further and made it clear: "If I win, set the two of us free." β
