Chapter 108: Dark Tide (I)

The sarcophagus embedded in the ground is filled with fragrant basil.

The stone strips along the coffin are painted with red symbols.

Xingrui, who was covered with a white cloth, lay on a nanmu couch and was placed in a sarcophagus.

Holding the wooden sticks that carried the couch, the six people straightened up and stood on either side of the sarcophagus in two teams.

The cold wind howled, blowing up tiny grains of gravel.

The sand and debris stood still in front of the sarcophagus, and only the wind could pass through the barrier and carry away the chill that lingered over the sarcophagus.

The wind carried the cold air around the sarcophagus, and the wind blew on the bodies of the six people.

The cold pierced through the thin shirts of the six.

Holding a long stick, the six people standing next to the sarcophagus were all blue-faced, and their bodies were frozen and numb from the cold.

Six people, holding long sticks in one hand, stood in the wind, and did not move.

The blue light flashed and fell in front of the sarcophagus.

With the soles of his feet gently stepping into the grass, Zhang Yong put his hands behind his back and went around to the left side of the sarcophagus.

Zhang Yong walked along the edge of the sarcophagus.

As he walked, he kept turning his head to look at the corpse in the coffin.

The wind is still blowing, and the cold is hitting the body.

Zhang Yong did not drive Yuan Gang in his body, and the corners of the pure white Yin Yang Dao robe gently rolled in the wind.

The cold air disturbed the skin under the Yin-Yang Dao suit, and a thin hoarfrost condensed on Zhang Yong's face.

White snow formed between his eyebrows, and the surface of his eyes was covered with floating ice.

The sarcophagus is three meters long, just enough to fit into the bed where Xingrui is lying.

The three people standing on the left side of the sarcophagus gave way, and Zhang Yong walked past the sarcophagus and stood still for a moment.

He blinked and turned his head.

"Cover the coffin. ”

Zhang Yong faced forward, standing in the cold wind.

The six people standing beside the sarcophagus all stepped aside, and they picked up the stone cover with runes with the long sticks in their hands, and put the stone cover on the sarcophagus.

After covering the sarcophagus. The six of them bent down, bowed to Zhang Yong, and then turned around and walked towards the county seat.

Zhang Yong stood in place, the wind whistling in his ears.

He no longer felt the slightest chill.

"Senior brother. ”

Zhang Yong raised his head solemnly and looked into the distance.

"They're at war, I'll go and see. ”

"Watch them fight and see them clearly. ”

"It won't be long. ”

The indigo wind system Gang Yuan exuded Zhang Yong's body, and the frost that shrouded his cheeks melted away.

"Senior brother, wait, wait for my brother, I hold the enemy's heart's blood. to worship you".

There are no rhetoric, no oaths.

Zhang Yong's face was expressionless, his eyes were firm, and his tone of voice was no different from usual.

After saying that, he rose against the wind and spread his body in midair.

He flew into the sky, and he flew towards Yinshui Town.

Lone wolves searched the ruins with their beaks and noses for the flesh and mosquito larvae, and the red-eyed crows and scavenging birds walked through the ruins without hesitation.

In the ruined Yinshui Town, there are no complete corpses.

In the absence of a full-scale war with the coalition forces. Yougen had his men collect a lot of corpses.

But there were too many corpses.

There is no way to let them settle in the ground, so they can only burn it all in one fire.

When Arine led the army to retreat and ran thousands of miles away to camp along the river.

In Yinshui Town, there are still many corpses buried in the soil. was crushed under a stone.

These carcasses attract numerous carnivorous beasts of the wasteland.

The first wild dogs and jackals would dig out the carcasses from the soil or between the rocks before feasting on them.

The liger or bear python will drive away the wild dogs and jackals that have been cut out, and when the liger or bear python leaves, the crow or bird will come back.

When the flesh on the corpse is eaten. The skeleton will be torn apart by jackals and wild dogs.

In the end, all that was left was tattered clothing or deformed ornaments, and striking blood stains.

Follow the strange road that towers between the acres of fields. Yougen drove the crossbow horse towards Yinshui Town.

Long grasses have grown on the slopes of Qianmo, and some of the leaves have extended to the Mo Dao.

How long has it been?

One took the reins with one hand and placed the other on the horse's neck.

Calming the restless mount, Arigen hung his head and looked directly at the hairless head of the ballista.

How long has it been?

The horse took small steps, shaking its neck on the strange road.

Yougen looked sympathetic and pulled the corners of his mouth.

It's been a long time.

Le Ma stopped, turned over and dismounted.

One stood beside the crossbow that still looked restless, and made a few loud noises out of his mouth.

Arigen pursed his lips slightly.

He stretched out his right hand, patted the pony on the buttocks, and turned and strode away.

The black horse carried Liu Heng and walked to Yougen's side.

At this time, Liu Heng, who was sitting on the back of the black dragon but had been hanging his head, suddenly raised his head.

He looked at Yougen in surprise.

Yougen turned his head and met the other party's surprised gaze, his face expressionless.

"It hasn't been long yet, but it's already like this. ”

Turning his head unconcernedly, Arigen looked at the ground.

Looking at the blades of grass that could cover the upper of the shoe on the strange road.

"The stars move, and the vicissitudes of the sea. ”

Arigen raised his head slightly, his eyes looking straight ahead.

He let out a long sigh.

"The dead don't come back, and when will the survivors die?"

"Time passes, and the end is the same. ”

"If all we do is death, then is there any meaning?"

Hearing this, Liu Heng, who had been staring at Yougen, frowned.

He pondered for a moment, then turned back.

"If you can attain the Tao, you can increase your longevity three times. ”

"However, the road is unpredictable, we can only wait. ”

"Huh. ”

Hearing this, Yougen chuckled.

He smiled and held his head high, putting his hands behind his back.

"General. ”

"I don't want revenge. ”

The midday sun was blazing, and the roots of the eyes overflowed with bright gold.

He looked at the ruins in the sun.

Look at the ruins, look at the striking bloodstains on the ground, look at the beasts fighting for food among the ruins.

"One cannot live in hatred, nor can one live by killing others. ”

Yougen got up sideways and turned his head, squinting at the army that was marching through the barren fields behind the two of them.

"One person dies, ten thousand live. ”

"The dead man weighed his life over the mountain. ”

"If one does not die, ten thousand live. ”

"Whoever does not kill a single person will have his life heavier. ”

Yougen retracted his gaze, and after glancing at Liu Heng, he turned his body and turned his head.

"General, Chen Fu is dead. ”

"The main culprit is dead, if we take Caoyun County again, we can drive the miscellaneous soldiers who are loyal to the enemy out of the territory at that time. ”

"Then let's stop. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng's brows tightened slightly, and he let go again.

He looked into the distance, looked at Yinshui Town, which had become a ruin, and laughed.

"If I can capture Caoyun County, what can't I let go?"

"We're not like them. ”

"I don't want to harm others, and besides, Chen Fu is dead. ”

"After capturing Caoyun County, we will immediately send troops, as long as we capture the Ningchuan Pass, we will be able to defend the pass. (To be continued......)
