The contrast between heaven and earth creates a fantasy world.
After killing Bianhua, the girl in green felt extremely regretful. As for Xu Sheng, he had a different feeling - some restraints seemed to have been released.
He began to look around. The sky was still the same sky, and the earth was still the same as before. However, it seemed to be different again.
I can't tell what's different, but the world has definitely changed.
In Beiyou, the fountain of youth that flows all year round suddenly stopped flowing. The great elder and his clansmen kowtowed in panic. Then, the water flow resumed, but it turned into the color of blood!
In Jiangzhou, the Lijiang River that has been surging for thousands of years suddenly stopped on the Yingchuan River. Although it only lasted for three breaths, when the waves surged again, many people saw a big black snake jumping out of the bottom of the water!
In Yongzhou, on the Gobi Desert, a shepherd was marching towards the oasis step by step against the year-round wind and sand. Suddenly, he stopped, his squinted eyes widened instantly, and his face showed unbelievable surprise. The wind stopped.
, the dancing gravel fell one after another.
In Yuezhou, the ginkgo tree that has been preserved for more than 3,000 years on Junyi Mountain suddenly stopped moving without wind, shaking off large yellow leaves, making the originally sparse branches completely empty.
The world has changed, some people are aware of it, but more people are unaware of it.
"It's over here, let's go." Xu Sheng put away his sword and said to the girl in green.
"Wait a minute." The girl in green waved her hand, then bent down, stared at the remaining stem of the flower on the other side, and said with a smile: "Since the roots are there, why not worry about sprouting." As she said this, she stretched out her hand to grab the stem.
go.
"You..." Xu Sheng frowned and wanted to stop it, but then thought about it, maybe only the Tianshi Mansion can deal with such ominous things properly.
"Hey!"
Just as Xu Sheng was thinking, the girl in green exclaimed. He took a closer look and found that the flower stem and roots had actually run away!
A bulge appeared on the ground that continued to extend, and the soil layer was arched up.
"Hurry and grab it!"
The girl in green shouted anxiously, rolled up her sleeves, started to chase after him as she started to cultivate.
"Where to run!"
Xu Sheng also wanted to see its "roots", so he raised the Jinghong Sword, gathered the "invisible secret power" in his legs and started running wildly.
"You all go, follow the route I have set, and never look back." On the high slope, Yan Danzhi stood majestically, looking at the ten people kneeling below, he spoke softly and said in a deep voice.
"General, we are ordered." The ten people responded, but their voices were low, and they were obviously reluctant.
Yes, who would be willing?
It was clear that the battle was defeated, but the defeated army still had to go forward without providing food or formulating a strategy. The large army was divided into ten parts that could not help each other and allowed them to be regular elites to do the business of green forest bandits.
Who can do that?
"I know your thoughts and understand the resistance, but I have no choice." Yan Danzhi looked at the ten people below and spoke with difficulty: "The road to Quxia is cut off, and we have no way out. We can only pounce on the land of Guandong.
to find a chance of survival; besides, the general will have to pass through the Yangping Ancient Road for at least two months. In these two months, we will fight for him. As for dividing the troops, that is because our offensive and defensive positions with the Fanchuan Army have changed. Now we are at a disadvantage.
If we are together, we will easily be destroyed by the group. Everyone, I hope you can think carefully about our current situation, and I hope you can understand the general’s good intentions.”
After Yan Dan finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the ten people and even to the fifty thousand soldiers below.
"Alas -" Someone sighed, shook his head, then smiled bitterly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the only way we can do it for now."
"Just do it, we won't decide whether it's life or death." Someone else sighed, their words full of helplessness.
"It's me, I'm sorry for everyone." Seeing the low morale, Yan Danzhi became anxious. He understood that he and the general were making a dangerous move, and any small mistake could lead to a total loss.
The despondency of soldiers is not a good sign, it is a faint sign of defeat.
what to do?
Yan Wanzhi felt that his mind was haggard and his head was dizzy. He looked up at the sky, paused for three breaths, and suddenly shouted: "I am a sinner, and I apologize to you all."
"Boom!"
The mountain-like body crashed down, General Zhendong, the pillar of the empire, knelt down!
"No!"
"General, please get up quickly."
"We don't mean to blame you."
...
The shouts and shouts gathered together and finally became a roar. Yan Danzhi stared blankly at the sea of people in front of him and kowtowed his head.
"The general is guilty, how can we be blameless?!"
"Even if you die, you will fulfill your mission!"
"I will do my best and die!"
"The military order is like a mountain, I will fight with all my strength!"
...
"Okay, thank you." Seeing the crowd's excitement, Yan Danzhi finally smiled. He stood up unsteadily, looked around, then waved his hand and said sternly: "In that case, I'm relying on you all. Time waits for no one. My husband and I
Waiting for you all!"
"yes!"
The sound of shouting shook the sky and reached the clouds. The ten men received the order and all raised their chests and raised their swords.
"And..." Yan Danzhi stopped the ten people who were leaving, paused for a moment, and said coldly: "No matter what, you must not come to Zhiyang again."
"Yes." The ten people looked at each other with confusion and fear in their eyes. In fact, needless to say, Yan Danzhi said that they had been frightened out of their wits a long time ago. How could they still have the courage to go to Zhiyang again?
"Yes." Yan Danzhi nodded and waved his hand for them to leave. He still remembered what the Taoist man said: I swear in the name of the Tianshi Mansion that I will never come here again.
Here, it is a very metaphysical term. In a larger sense, it can refer to the land of Guandong; in a smaller sense, it can also refer to Zhiyang City alone.
To a certain extent, he could be regarded as keeping his promise for the man in Taoist robes.
"The outcome of this war and the fate of Jokhang's country all depend on you."
After a long time, when the army was almost gone, Yan Danzhi looked at their backs and whispered.
He didn't choose to join his favorite soldiers, and he couldn't bear it.
He could almost predict that some people would starve to death, some would kill each other, some would be robbed and humiliated, some families would be torn apart, some lands would be soaked in blood, and some populated places would be permanently desolate.
But there is no way, this is war, an everlasting war.
