"What's wrong with you again? Why do you have to let me go?" Li Huowang is now in a state of no ambition. Most of his companions who escaped with him have already settled down, and most of the Bai family in Niuxin Village have settled down.
They were all forcibly reformed, and only a few who had done no evil were left to live freely, but this matter was barely resolved. He just wanted to lie down here.
"This... you'd better not know. I can only say that cultivation techniques are not once and for all. If your hallucinations are not suppressed by Hei Taisui, once you have doubts about yourself in the future, you may still be unable to control it.
The time when the hallucination occurs.
Some things cannot be avoided. There is a high probability that even if I don't let you go to Qingqiu, there will be other forces that will arrange to induce you to go there. If I take you there, the situation will still be controllable, but if
If you are lured in by other forces and forces, what will happen then will be out of your control."
Li Huowang: "..."
Li Huowang found one thing that he had to admit, that is, his own fighting power was indeed not very good. Without the protection of the other party, there were too many people and forces in Niuxin Village who could have his mind on him. The other party was at least there now.
Discuss with yourself that if you really wait until someone uses strong tactics, the scene may be quite ugly.
…
In the beautifully decorated Houshu Palace, where hundreds of officials gathered at the court meeting, a burst of shrill screams suddenly came.
"Your Majesty! It's not good! The Jiexuan Army has gathered in Suicheng. Fifteen thousand people are marching eastward and have entered our territory."
The messenger rolled off his horse, knelt on the ground and kept repeating this sentence. All the officials in the hall had pale faces, and even their emperor had a trace of panic on his face.
They have already seen how terrifying the Jie Xuan Army is in the country next door. Although the Si Qi Kingdom tried their best to cover up the losses caused by the previous failure to suppress the bandits, paper cannot cover up the fire after all. The losses of the 50,000-strong army are no matter what.
It's impossible to hide it.
Not long ago, the officials of the imperial court were still gloating about the misfortune. Fifty thousand against five thousand, the result was that the entire army of 54,000 Qi officers and soldiers was wiped out. The enemy country suffered such a huge loss. Of course they were happy, but when Jie Xuan's army turned around and charged
After they came here, the corners of their mouths that had been raised to rejoice in others' misfortunes suddenly stopped laughing.
In the past, only 5,000 troops were dispatched, and all 40,000 and 50,000 soldiers were wiped out. This time, 15,000 soldiers were killed in one breath. How could Hou Shu gather an army of 150,000 to fight? Even if it could, wouldn't this be a repeat of the previous one?
Lessons.
For a moment, the court hall was silent and gloomy. The generals who were standing in the front row with the loudest voices wanted to shrink their heads into their necks, for fear that they would be selected by the emperor to intercept the Jie Xuan Army.
For a moment, no one dared to speak out. The Emperor of Hou Shu sighed heavily, and finally had to order: "All towns along the march of the Jie Xuan Army must close their gates tightly and cannot attack. The residents in the cities must be restrained and must not interact with the Jie Xuan Army."
Contact! Kill for the order."
As an emperor, facing a group of bandits and issuing such an order, I am afraid that there has never been a more aggrieved time in his life than now. However, the fighting power of the Jiexuan Army is too strong, and he cannot resist it at all. More importantly,
Even the human heart is not on his side.
Although Suicheng has not expanded outwards during this period, countless people have fled to Suicheng, and the Jiexuan Army over there has not refused anyone who comes, and has taken the initiative to accept these fleeing people. They seem to have countless food supplies.
Just like resources, no matter how many people there are, they can all feed them.
In fact, the Emperor of Hou Shu knew very well that if the domestic resources were distributed fairly enough, the people at the bottom could live a life like that of Jie Xuanjun, but it was impossible for him to do such a thing. He relied on officials to rule the country.
Country gentry and big landowners must give priority to the interests of these people. If they are not allowed to exploit the people, they will not be able to stand by their side. The emperor wants to reform and make the people live a better life. The first
They were the ones who didn't agree, and those emperors who wanted reforms were already dead.
He definitely didn't have the Jie Xuan Army's ability to break everything and start over again, so he could only watch the army pass by in his own territory. The people along the way cheered, hoping that one day they would be truly liberated.
The county officials who closed the city gates were all trembling. They knew very well what the Jie Xuan Army did in Suicheng. If they were allowed to break through the city gates and get in, they would all be killed.
Hanged.
To their relief, the army did not stop at the gate of the town. Along the bumpy road, trucks pulling soldiers quickly headed towards Qingqiu.
Qingqiu is different from other countries. The residents living here seem to live in a pure land. The boundless grassland raises endless cattle and sheep. Although no farming civilization has been developed, the nomads here live a prosperous and beautiful life.
Although I can't say that I am rich or wealthy, I can still be said to have no worries about food and clothing.
The most important thing is that as long as they believe in the Immortal Heaven and abide by a series of customs, they will not be attacked by ghosts and monsters. There are only some taboo places that they cannot go to anyway. Other than that, everything is free.
But in such a twisted world, how could there be a pure land without demons and evil spirits? On the ground, the wind is calm and the wind is beautiful, but it does not mean that it is the same underground. The madness on the land of Qingqiu is nothing compared to this world.
No piece of land is missing, because all the madness is concentrated under the surface.
Only a few holes are exposed on the surface, and these holes lead to the underground and to a world full of weirdness and horror. This underground world is called Fengdu!
Fengdu can also be called the capital of the dead. The dead gather here and are in a state of neither life nor death, and Si Ming, who represents death, also lives here. At least life is really him in this world.
Projection. There is a group of beings on the grassland who worship and sacrifice death. It is precisely because of the worship of death that death restrains all evil spirits and cannot go to the ground.
…
Sun Baolu never thought that one day he would step into the underground again. He was one of the very few people in the village who had ever stepped into the underground world. At that time, he was just a child. The elders told him that he had encountered a path leading to the underground.
Don't get close to the cave under any circumstances, but he saw a few sheep among the sheep he was grazing getting into. He thought he would just go in for a while and come out immediately, so he didn't pay too much attention to the instructions of his elders in the family and followed.
The sheep burrowed into the ground together.
And that recklessness brought him lifelong misfortune. Underground, he encountered a monster covered with white hair. The monster did not target him at all, but the white hair on its body swept over his body. He
His body seemed to have a texture error. His penis, belly button, butthole, the organs on the surface of the body and the organs inside the body were all twisted and confused, so much so that he never dared to take off his clothes, even when taking a shower.
Never let anyone watch.
Not long ago, he was sent back by Li Huowang and found the tribe where his parents were. After reuniting with his family, he finally said goodbye to his senior brother Li. He thought that he could live quietly in the tribe and be with his sister or others.
Talk about childhood sweethearts or child brides, living a peaceful life.
But he didn't expect to come to this terrifying underground world again. He remembered that it was an extremely ordinary night. He went to pen the sheep at home, and when he was about to go home and sleep, a bonfire was lit in the tribe.
, many people gathered over, and when he passed, he found that his parents and family were already there. Opposite the bonfire stood an old lama who was already very old. It seemed that there were no more teeth in his mouth.
Behind him were a group of black-faced sheep. Sun Baolu always felt vaguely uneasy when he looked at those sheep. These black-faced sheep were also very old, but for some reason he felt that the emotions in the eyes of these sheep were a bit too rich.
.
Lamas are a very respected group of people on the grassland. Because of this, even at night, the tribe still beat the big drum and gathered the old and young of the tribe. The old lama seemed unwilling to say more to them, just watching all the
After everyone had gathered here, he beat a drum in his hand and said, "The leaders of the tribes have drawn lots. It's your turn."
What happened next was particularly weird and terrifying. After hearing the drums, Sun Baolu and other people in the tribe began to move uncontrollably. Although they still retained their self-awareness, there was a look of horror on their faces. Under my feet
But he had already stepped out, and the black-faced sheep behind the lama, like a sheepdog or a shepherd, herded the group of nomads toward the depths of the dark grassland.
The tribe members were like lambs being grazed, walking step by step towards the darker and deeper night, until they came to a dark and deep cave entrance, which was the entrance to the underground. After seeing themselves
When his body involuntarily walked towards the dark hole, Sun Baolu wanted to scream out of fear, but couldn't make a sound.
He thought a lot along the way. When he saw the entrance of the cave, everything he thought about seemed to be connected in series. He was thinking that there was no war on the grassland, his parents had four or five children, and most families were
If this is the case, then why has the population on the grassland never increased?
Now he understood that it seemed that there had never been anyone in the tribe he lived in who had died in infancy. In fact, it was just because their tribe had always been lucky and had not been selected to die. There were countless tribes of this size on the grassland.
The herdsmen do not have their own settlements. The last time they encountered a tribe by chance, the next time they encountered it may be more than ten years later. Therefore, few people will notice that a certain tribe has completely disappeared, mainly because there is no one in the disappeared tribe.
If a living person leaves, people from other tribes will not notice.
Just like his tribe, even today, everyone disappeared underground silently, and probably no one will remember it.
The underground road was extremely rugged, and the old lama seemed to be extremely familiar with it, heading all the way down among the countless forked roads toward the depths of the cave.
The small oil lamps hanging on the horns of the black-faced sheep were the only source of light in the deep underground world. They also saw giant lion dances wearing white cloths with human faces on their heads.
An extremely thin and long evil spirit with a head on top and a rope on the bottom.
They all stared at themselves closely, as if they had become their prey. However, the black-faced sheep around them just bleated a few times, and these monsters walked away consciously.
But this does not mean that they are lucky. Sun Baolu may be because he has been in the cave once. When everyone else is confused, he is relatively sober. He barely controls his body and makes his walking body stiff and numb.
Get closer to his family. Although he cannot disobey the order to move forward, he can still make adjustments to break the contract if he is clear enough. He wants to die with his family even if he dies.
However, he soon discovered that even if he wanted to die, it might not be an easy task, because as he got closer and closer to the depths of the underground, the people at the front of the tribe began to have strange symptoms.
Change, they no longer stand, but start crawling and walking.
Sheep's down began to grow on their bodies, and the skin on their foreheads cracked and was pierced by sharp corners. Their palms began to come together and gradually shortened into the shape of sheep's hooves. The first few people were now completely
They turned into sheep, but they didn't even know it.
Not everyone has successfully transformed into a sheep. There are usually one or two out of ten people who fail to transform. They either grow horns or hooves, but they get stuck in the middle. Some become sheep.
They became sheep covered in downy hair but with human faces, and some turned into people with sheep heads and hooves. They seemed to have retained their self-awareness and discovered their own changes, and each of them screamed in pain or bleated.
There was a bleating sound, but those black-faced sheep were merciless and drove these transformed people out. Without the protection of these black sheep, the evil spirits that had been hiding in the shadows swarmed out and screamed in an instant.
These half-human, half-goat tribesmen dismembered and turned them into blood food.
Sun Baolu's teeth were chattering and he could almost urinate uncontrollably. He didn't even know whether to pray that he could turn into a sheep or that his transformation would fail.
Seeing that thin down hair had begun to grow on his body, he had no choice but to do anything.
Just when he and the people around him were filled with despair, the wall of the underground cave suddenly shook violently, and then in everyone's shocked eyes, a huge drill penetrated the wall with a bang.
