After nearly four hours, the plane landed smoothly on a small island.
The sea breeze was blowing in my face, and the sea surface was rough, sometimes splashing with waves more than ten meters high.
When they got off the plane, Jiang Che and the others were still smiling.
Because they will immediately be able to see the "legendary" Guilimen Pass, the border line between the real world and the mysterious world.
But at some point, it started to rain continuously and drizzlely.
Not far away, tens of thousands of gatekeepers stood with their heads held high, facing the sea, their eyes like torches.
At this time, Dong Hui said: "Do you know why I chose to show you around today?"
"..." Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Those straight figures inexplicably filled the island with a sense of solemnity.
There are no tall buildings or tanks or fighter planes here as they imagined. Everyone even thinks that this island is so small, so small that you can see the end at a glance...
There is only one high platform on the island, and there is a long pole standing on the high platform. On the top of the long pole, a red flag is fluttering in the wind.
Dong Hui said: "Because today is the anniversary of Rashomon's greatest turmoil."
Rashomon's biggest turmoil... Jiang Che frowned slightly and pondered in his heart.
At this moment, a hoarse roar came from in front of the matrix of thousands of people.
"In 1902, with the sacrifices of 3,623 ancestors, the 14th secret gate, Rashomon, was built!"
"We are the army of heroes! We are the descendants of heroes!"
"From 1902 to 2022, there have been 6,439 martyrs in our country who have shed blood and sacrificed their lives to guard the border of the motherland. As long as the mission requires it, we will always dedicate everything to the motherland and the people!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"I would rather give up my own life!"
“I don’t want to give up half an inch of land in Daxia!”
"I'd rather die ten steps forward!"
"Never take a step backward!"
"I'm with you at the border!"
"Please rest assured, motherland!"
The voice was loud, sonorous and powerful, overwhelming the waves and lasting for a long time.
"stand at attention!"
"Hat off!"
"A moment of silence!"
Tens of thousands of gatekeepers moved in unison, facing the sea, bowing their heads in silence.
This turbulent sea is their destination, the destination of these border heroes.
Even if they die, they will stay here forever, and their heroic spirits will continue to protect us!
Their lives are loyal to the country.
Their faith shines brightly!
This scene came suddenly, but it rendered everyone as fast as possible.
No matter how arrogant they were originally from Beijing University and Qingdao University, at this moment they all looked at the red flag dancing in the rain and remained silent.
In fact, many people don't understand, including Jiang Che.
I was eating white rice and drinking happy water, and couldn't figure out why these strong and healthy people died.
Now I finally woke up and suddenly realized that they died for me...
They died for me!
After a long time, the drizzle turned into a violent storm.
Clothes rustle, the wind cuts like a knife, and the rain cuts like bullets.
The gatekeeper's roar came from ahead.
"Oath under the red flag!"
"I'm always ready!"
"Sacrifice for victory!"
"Sacrifice for the people!"
"Sacrifice for your country!"
"I do!"
"Build the Great Wall with bones! In exchange for the lights of thousands of families!"
"Pouring the territory with blood! In exchange for the mountains and rivers remaining the same!"
"I would like to spend my life!"
"Guarding the prosperous Great Xia!"
…
In this era of life and death, the mysterious world is the biggest crisis that people face.
It has changed mankind, changed the world, and even changed human civilization.
No one knows where it came from, but we know it wants to take over our world.
Therefore, at the junction of the real world and the mysterious world.
In this era of frontiers, we must build an impenetrable wall.
The name of this high wall is Guimen Pass.
The people in this pass are all border guards.
They call themselves - gatekeepers!
…
After commemorating the heroic spirits, some of the gatekeepers returned to their posts and continued to protect the island in the sun and rain, and monitor the mysterious realm in the vast sea - Rashomon.
Dong Hui took Jiang Che and others around this little island that no one cares about. With Dong Hui's introduction, everyone felt their footsteps getting heavier and heavier.
I just don’t know if it’s because of Dong Hui’s words or because of the mud under my feet.
Dong Hui said...
Since the establishment of Rashomon, there have been three turmoils.
The so-called turmoil means that the realm of mystery has expanded to a critical point, or that a large number of secrets have penetrated from the realm of mystery and want to invade the territory of Daxia.
Every time there is turmoil, there will be fierce fighting.
In 1934, Rashomon was in turmoil for the first time. Thousands of secrets penetrated from the mysterious realm and came to the real world, launching a terrible attack on the secret gate.
This turmoil resulted in the death of 1,142 gatekeepers, including 4 kings.
In 1995, Rashomon was in turmoil for the second time. The expansion of the mysterious realm exceeded the critical point. The gatekeepers took the initiative to enter the mysterious realm and eliminated the number of secrets in the mysterious realm, thereby forcing the coverage of the mysterious realm to shrink.
This turmoil resulted in the death of 1,874 gatekeepers, including 9 kings.
In 2020, two years ago, the third turmoil occurred in Rashomon, and the expansion of the mysterious realm exceeded the critical point.
This turmoil resulted in the death of 3,423 gatekeepers, including 17 kings.
In Dong Hui's calm narration, everyone's worldview was refreshed again and again.
The ceiling of combat power in the eyes, the king level, seems so ordinary here... Every time there is a turmoil, there will be king level sacrifices, and more and more each time.
Not to mention S-class and SS-class.
"No wonder the king-level bosses can't be seen usually. It turns out they are all gatekeepers."
"I hope I can become S-class and become a glorious gatekeeper."
"If there are no gatekeepers, how can there be peace and prosperity?"
The classmates were talking in low voices and their blood was surging.
Then, Dong Hui took everyone into the interior of the island.
The island is a place for the gatekeepers to rest, including some communication equipment and other technologies, which are also hidden here.
Now Dong Hui will take everyone to the movie theater to watch the documentary about the Rashomon turmoil. This will allow everyone to have a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the responsibilities of the gatekeepers and what mankind is really facing.
Halfway through, a tall, thin, middle-aged man stopped the team.
Dong Hui saluted, "Director Fang!"
Fang Tianzhan nodded and said: "Jiang Che, Zhuge Ye, come out!"
Jiang Che: “???”
Zhuge Ye: "???"
Dong Hui repeated: "Jiang Che, Zhuge Ye, come out!"
Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye quickly walked out of the team, looking confused.
Wild Dog and I are very honest today, what are we going to do...
Fang Tianzhan glanced at the two of them and said, "You two, follow me."
Dong Hui saluted and then left with the others.
Fang Tianzhan led the way.
Jiang Che lowered his voice: "Wild Dog, what the hell did you do again?"
Wild Dog: "I didn't do anything! I just peed."
"Who gave you permission to pee?"
"Ah? Can't you even pee?"
Fang Tianzhan coughed dryly, "Stop talking, I'll take you to see someone."
"..."×2
at the same time.
Tianfu, Zhuge family.
The head of the family, Zhuge Mingshi, spent several days in a row watching the sky at night, trying to steal the way of heaven through ghosts and trickery.
Finally, he caught a glimpse.
Zhuge Mingshi, who was in middle age but had white hair, suddenly had his pupils shrink sharply.
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his strong breath instantly became weak.
