What is life, exactly
Life is countless accidents, countless choices, and then... towards an unknown experience.
No matter how ordinary life is, there is always something wonderful that no one knows.
Just like no matter whether it is a royal family or a village, there are always those old people who will tell you so many wonderful lives.
This is life.
And the 40,000 Saudi expeditionary forces are about to face this kind of life.
As Lu Yu expected.
This... is just a question of probability. It is not that Lu Yu can count on it, nor is it that he is too whimsical.
There is a soldier who has a good cultivation base, a high degree of loyalty, an upright and courageous man, and a handsome appearance. But his luck was not so good. He went all the way and walked more than a hundred miles before he came across a small village. He didn’t want to steal, but only wanted to buy. But in the process of communication, the villagers saw what he had originally. Set of broken armor, he was determined to be a soldier, so he begged him to stay.
Because this village is about to be attacked by a group of bandits, at this time of the year, everything is unavailable, and those cottages can only choose to use the strongest means to forcibly seize them and satisfy their relatively subsistence needs.
The soldier was still hesitating, and he needed a place to rest for a night after he had been on the road for several days, so as to keep his spirits up.
So he was out of luck, and on that night, the bandit came.
The villagers naturally did not want to hand over the remaining food, and the bandits naturally used slaughter to intimidate them.
As a result, the blood and noise, the cry of children, the sobs and screams of women, aroused the blood in his heart, and he fought all the way. Although he repelled the bandits, he was also seriously injured.
He did a good thing.
Should have been commended.
But the villagers wanted to surrender him for the first time to the bandits in exchange for their own safety.
The villagers have a simple idea. They want to survive. In order to survive, what price they can pay, face? dignity? moral? This was under their consideration, but they became extremely pale and feeble in the face of survival.
Soldiers have only two options, secretly escape, or kill all the villagers and escape.
He was unable to complete either of these two choices.
Because the injury is too serious.
But he escaped after all.
With the help of a woman, she secretly left the village and hid herself in a cave on the nearby hill to recover from her injuries.
The woman's meticulous care, struggling to survive like weeping blood, finally pierced the barrier between China and the country...
Hundreds of hardened and tempered fingers are soft.
This sentence is not derogatory, and it has never been.
Raozhirou is a kind of sword, an extremely advanced sword. Flexible, constant, extreme front!
The soldiers learned to be gentle when they realized the gentleness.
I have learned to be gentle and strong. Because only strong can protect this tenderness.
He did it. After healed from his injury, he returned to the dilapidated village that had been looted by the bandits. He did not retaliate and did not swear. Instead, he ran to the bandit’s lair alone and wiped them out with his own power, and then returned. The village, not a trace of thanks.
Even the people in the village are really thanking him at this time.
Their thoughts are still so simple. If they help, they shouldn't get hurt, but instead become a burden to them. For the people, it is good intentions and the most annoying. But if they help thoroughly, they will really appreciate it from the bottom of their hearts.
The soldier wants to go, he needs to go, he has his own mission and mission.
The villagers kept him, but the woman did not. The woman said that she could wait for him here or go with him.
He didn't stay because of this retention.
What didn't stay was the reason why he stayed.
He sat under a dead tree for three days and three nights, sometimes crying, sometimes angry, and sometimes weak. In the end, he took out a small wooden sign, looked at the word'lone wolf' on it, sighed deeply, and broke it off.
Since then, he has stayed in this village, working, plowing the land, bringing his wife and raising children, all his life is dull.
how so? Because he is no longer a'lone wolf'.
Lu Yu didn't look at everything about him, so he would bless him. If he was by his side, he could only kill him.
Therefore, when Lu Yu scattered from these 40,000 people to find clothes, he did not allow those officers to supervise them.
That was life, something Lu Yu envied, and would not stop it, the life of others.
And he, alone with Xiao Ruan, walked step by step into this male city sandwiched between two mountains.
'Tianmenguan'.
The gates here are very large, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
As Lu Yu expected, there has been no war in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years. More than ten years, it is enough to turn a great jade country that was once a country based on military into a place of emphasis on culture and elegance.
The gate is not guarded by many armors, even if there is a'forgotten dragon stone' above its gate, as long as it falls, the gate will definitely become more difficult to break through than a thick wall.
But in such a defensive place, there are only a dozen soldiers, who are bored or sitting or standing. Only when caravans and carriages enter, they will be checked symbolically.
The combination of Lu Yu and Xiao Ruan is too much like a troubled person.
Also, if it were not in trouble, how could a young woman walk so long alone with a child? Do you not know the dangers of the world, or do you think the world is too kind
The soldiers looked at Lu Yu and his party, with some regrets in their eyes. They didn't interrogate, and even subconsciously dodged their eyes, and just let them in.
In and out of the city, even though there is only one door, it separates two worlds from the earth.
As long as you enter the city, there are laws in the city.
Out of the city, this method... is not so bright.
Entering the city, Lu Yu's first impression was solidity.
Everything is so strong.
Residents' houses, walking streets, and the unique sense of uneven layers of the mountain city all reveal a feeling of'heavy'. At the same time, the space here is much smaller.
Compact and sturdy.
This is the best city to defend. It looks equally rough, but at the same time it gives people the idea of... don't want to attack.
The second feeling is monotonous.
The color is too monotonous, only the color of the stone. There is almost no painting here, what color is the stone, what color is the house, what color is the street.
It really made Lu Yu feel that he had come to another country, a far cry from the smooth, prosperous, colorful, simple and spacious senses of the Great Jade Country.
People's clothes are also monotonous and plain. In Lu Yu's view, it is like everyone has been wearing sheets that have been used for many years and went to the streets.
There is only one exception.
It was in the middle of this city, towering and majestic. Lu Yu believed that from any angle in this city, he could see this building, and he couldn't help but take a few glances.
Because it's gorgeous.
All the colors that people in this world can think of are clearly displayed on that building. Bright, dark, warm, and cold, all the hues merged together, like a huge palette that made Lu Yu... his teeth hurt.
Just find someone passing by and ask, "Excuse me, what is that building? Why is it so gorgeous?"
The person being asked was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "This is the first time you have come to Tianmenguan, right?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "My sister and I came here as an escape. It took a long time before we met such a big city."
The man suddenly nodded and said, "Yes here, you must have come from a small place, otherwise, why don't you know that it is Tianmen? The reason why this place is called Tianmenguan is because of the existence of that heaven!"
