The city wall on the southern border is built with human flesh and blood, and loyal souls are buried under every inch of land here. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
The emperors of Jingdu may be looking at the singing and dancing, the jade trees and silver flowers, and the young men in Xianhua City may be drinking wine and admiring the autumn moon together. The teahouses in Ci'an City are still full, and the storytellers talk about prosperity and well-being.
No one saw that the ancient border city covered by this huge barrier was dying.
Not to mention that no one would know that there is actually a group of idiots here who are trying to use their mortal bodies to fight against the countless demon armies of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
They wore the lowest quality thorn armor and didn't even have any warm clothes. They left their wives and children to come here to serve their country, but they were never heard of. They laze around all day long, smoke and fight, because in this "peaceful and prosperous age", they are no longer needed, and they are even happy about it.
But now, they resolutely stand at the forefront of the human race, using corpses to build an unreliable barrier.
They are willing to raise their weapons in the face of countless enemies, because there is a big mirror behind them, and where they stand is their big mirror!
As long as we persist for thirty days, the human race will be saved. But these thirty days were really dark, so dark that I couldn't see my head at all.
"It's no longer possible. All the intestines have been eaten. There's no way to save it." Military doctor Liu Shu wiped away his sweat and pulled a white cloth over the head of the corpse.
The few soldiers who brought the wounded bowed silently to the corpse, and then left silently. The military doctor's tent seemed as if no one had ever been there, and it was lifeless.
Liu Shu walked to the corner and added some oil to the only lamp in the tent.
More than half a month ago, the banshee with a stunning appearance came to the city with a million demon troops. From that day on, there was no sunrise or sunset in Jiu Ming City, and it always maintained this dim sky surrounded by demon clouds.
Liu Shu had always been frugal with oil, because he knew that if the light could not be guaranteed within thirty days, it would be a disaster for the defenders.
These monsters can see in the dark, but the defenders cannot. Moreover, the number of monsters is huge and they can take turns to fight non-stop, so the defenders must ensure their strength at all times.
Too many people have died in the past few days, and most of them have incomplete bodies. He only dealt with less fatal injuries, and those who had their heads chewed off basically didn't need to look for him. In addition to the wounded, many crazy soldiers were also sent to him.
"It's good to be crazy, it's good to be crazy. You don't have to see these broken corpses every day, and you don't have to worry about this monster destroying the city..." Liu Shu said to himself haggardly. He seemed to have lost a whole lot of weight, his hair was falling out one after another, and his sallow face always showed anxiety and panic.
"If you are crazy, there won't be anyone who can cure diseases in Jiu Ming City!" Xie Yao limped in and said loudly. en8.
Liu Shu raised his eyes and looked at him, thinking that this young man had changed the most among all the people. He remembered that when Xie Yao first came here, he was just taking advantage of his family's power and being related to the commander. He never participated in drills or wore armor. He always wanted to show off his immortality deeds when he saw people.
Now, with his slovenly beard, his handsome face is nowhere to be seen clearly. He is upright and kind-hearted, and he is willing to charge forward. Now he gets along well with the ruffians in the army. There is also the fact that he seeks immortality. Now everyone knows about it even if he doesn't tell him. He kills the most monsters every day with his thunder method.
"What's wrong with your leg? If you're bitten by a monster, don't seek my doctor. Just dig a hole and wait for death!" Liu Shujiang compared the two, secretly thinking that heroes emerge from troubled times. I'm afraid this kid will not be easy in the future. Of course, the premise is that he wants to survive the remaining half month.
"No, no, I was tripped by a catapult. Besides, so what if I was bitten, not every monster is poisonous!" Xie Yao waved his hand and sat down on the ground.
Liu Shu took the medicine and threw it directly to him. Then he sat down and said face to face: "How many times have you tripped over that catapult? Be careful, otherwise you will have to do it next time you come here." Wrap it up in that white cloth!”
"Can you ask the commander to move that thing to a different position? Every time I use the thunder method to kill monsters secretly, I get tripped up..." Xie Yao twisted the cover for a long time without getting it open.
"Bah! The commander has been awake for seven days, how can you bother him with this matter?" Liu Shu spat at him, took the medicine bottle with his hands, and opened the lid with a force, "This medicine bottle is It’s like that! What a screw up you are!”
"Oh..." Xie Yao took the bottle nonchalantly, suddenly feeling a little depressed, "Tell me, when will this damn life end?"
Liu Shu looked at the young master and didn't know how to answer.
Maybe it will be over the next moment, maybe it will never end. There was no sunrise or sunset, so they couldn't even count the days. Minutes and seconds passed in such a blur, but no one knew when the thirty-day period would arrive.
If they knew the date, they might still have a goal to stick to. But what if you never know the change of day and night? Monsters were slaughtering and devouring people before their eyes, and compatriots were buried in the monster's belly. Horrible things happened one after another, and were magnified over and over again by unclear time.
Without a clear goal, they seemed to be sailing in the vast sea. They might dock at the next moment, but it was impossible to dock at all.
Such days are truly desperate.
"It's okay." Seeing that his expression was becoming more and more frightened, Xie Yao finally said.
"Look, I'm still persisting, Commander Zhu is still persisting, and so many soldiers are still persisting. As long as one of us is alive, there will be no reason for Jiu Ming City to fall." Xie Yao wiped off the medicine. Putting the bottle in his arms, he stood up with the gun in his hand.
Xie Yao finally began to understand something.
It's not about how to kill a monster with minimal effort, but about taking responsibility.
He felt that since he carried such power, he naturally also carried the same responsibility.
He is willing to do something for those who live in a "peaceful and prosperous age" behind him, even if he has received nothing from those people.
There was a determined light in Xie Yao's eyes, and the lines of the Qing Emperor's Hundred Flowers Seal appeared on his forehead. The lines were entangled with traces of deep purple electric light.
He wants to fight!
At this time, at the north gate of Jiu Ming City, there was a young scholar, wearing a bird's frost fur coat, looking elegant and a bit ruffian.
He looked up at the demonic clouds covering the sun and the majestic barrier, and frowned slightly: "There will be chaos in the south... It seems that what Yun Qing said is true."
This person was none other than Song Liyou, who had parted ways with Yun Qing and others at the Thirteenth Barrier. He stopped and walked all the way, still a little distrustful of Yun Qing.
Song Li Youyou looked at the barrier carefully and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "I said that there was a lot of singing and dancing coming down from the north, but there was no news. I thought it was that guy Yun Qing who was tricking me, but I didn't expect it was senior. The great power takes action to cover up the secret of heaven..."
"This barrier looks like it's blocking the demonic energy that shoots straight into the sky, but it actually completely isolates Jiu Ming City from the outside world. Humanity is not prepared at all this time, and I'm afraid it's going to be a big scam. .”
"Boy, are you secretly scolding me?" An old voice suddenly appeared in front of Song Liyou.
This man appeared out of thin air, treating the barrier as if it were nothing, and no one could see him doing anything, so he just walked out normally.
"I want to take you as my disciple." Song Liyou almost blurted out when he saw this face.
Isn't this the old man Yun Qing asked him to find? Listening to his words, it seemed that he heard what he was thinking from a long way away, and... was this barrier that blocked countless monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and blocked the secret of heaven from the Lutian Holy Altar for who knows how long, actually he set it up
Uncle Cha nodded, not realizing that his words were abrupt: "What do you want to learn? It seems that you entered the Tao through the stars in the sky before, and you have the power of wish in your body, so you must be a branch of the human world. Oh, you also have Qingdi Feng. Chunyin, so warm and nourishing vitality, it is not impossible to practice the immortal way."
Song Liyou remembered what Yun Qing said, gritted his teeth and said to the old man: "I hope Master will crush my foundation and put an end to my cause and effect. I am willing to cultivate the ghost path again."
Uncle Cha couldn't help but frowned after hearing what he said: "Did she teach you these words?"
Song Liyou understood that "she" was undoubtedly Yun Qing, so she nodded.
Uncle Cha closed his eyes and calculated in his hands for a while before he said, "Are you willing to join my Fengdu city?"
Song Li said worriedly, it is indeed the only orthodox inheritance of ghost ways in the world, Fengdu City.
"willing."
"Then I will pass on the record of your return to the underworld." Uncle Cha glanced at the north with his turbid eyes, and calculated for a while.
Song Liyou felt that this orthodox inheritance was too simple, and it always felt unreliable.
"Don't think that the inheritance in my hand is so easy to get." Uncle Cha chuckled, and the movements in his hand never stopped, "Crush the foundation, resolve the cause and effect, and understand the netherworld. If you can't do it before this barrier dissipates, If you can do this, you are my personal disciple."
"When will this barrier dissipate?" Song Li worriedly thought, if it dissipated in the next second, then his work would not be in vain, he had to be sure.
"In ten days or so, you have to stay with me in Jiu Ming City before then." Uncle Cha stretched out his finger, and a gap as big as one person opened in the barrier, "Follow me."
Song Liyou walked on the desolate streets, feeling that the ominous death atmosphere enveloped the city.
"The demon clan will attack this place in more than ten days." Uncle Cha walked without any fluctuation, and his whole figure seemed to be floating in the void. Song Liyou noticed that his right hand was slightly trembling.
It's not just as simple as breaking through Jiu Ming City. The secret was covered, and no one knew that the demon clan was approaching the border of the human race. When they secretly captured Jiu Ming City, and the barrier dissipated, they could naturally drive straight in from the unsuspecting south of Dajing.
"You... ahem, why did Master put up this barrier?" Song Liyou almost didn't change his words.
Uncle Cha smiled more and more sinisterly: "I made an agreement with the little foxes of Shiwandashan. If they cannot attack Jiuming City under my barrier on the 30th, I, Fengdu City, will no longer intervene between Shiwandashan and the Temple of Heaven. Fight."
Song Liyou thought about the connection between his several words. Since this old man has determined that the demon clan can break through this place within thirty days, does he mean to intervene in the dispute between Shiwandashan and Lutian Temple by making this agreement
"Do you know where Fengdu City is?" Uncle Cha suddenly asked.
Song Li was speechless. Although Fengdu City is orthodox, it is not listed as a holy place precisely because no one knows where it is.
"Fengdu City is my home..." Uncle Cha stopped and said to Song Liyou.
"All living beings must die, and after death they all return to my city of Fengdu."
Song Li was horrified and frightened. He vaguely understood the meaning of these words. Wherever there were dead people, they were all located in Fengdu City.
In other words, Fengdu City is everywhere.
