Xu Luo's heart trembled, knowing that the critical moment was coming!
I'm afraid this is also the reason why I appear here. This is the place where the obsession with praying and vision is generated.
As a strong wind came, Xu Luo felt that a human face was getting bigger and bigger in his sight, looking a bit scary. Finally, the face seemed to be close to Xu Luo's current body.
From the moment they looked at each other, from the scene reflected in those frightened pupils, Xu Luo already understood what kind of situation he was in now.
He turned into a huge blue stone, with crisscross grooves and moss on its surface. It had been standing here for who knows how many years.
The sword flashed, and a stream of warm liquid was sprinkled on the bluestone.
Xu Luo sighed in his heart, as if he understood where this obsession came from.
The killing continues.
No one in this group of knights made a sound, they were just like stiff killing puppets, executing the programmed process.
Seeing this, Xu Luo felt even more chilled in his heart.
Such soldiers cannot be some horse bandits and bandits. Only regular armies can have such strict military discipline and such indifferent temperament.
When did this scene happen, and who are these murderous soldiers?
"stop!"
Finally, as if they had killed enough, a majestic voice shouted loudly, and all the sergeants responded in unison, and then stood with hands in silence.
A tall man with a beard stood up.
"Select out all the grown-ups, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. Be careful not to miss any!"
The soldiers responded to the call, and within a short time of being punched and kicked, all the strong adult men were pushed to the side of the bluestone.
"Listen to me!
If you want your wives, children, and children to survive, you only need to do one thing for us. As long as you do this well, I promise that not only will I not kill you, but your wife, children, children, and children will also be saved!"
The big man with the beard clearly understands human nature well, and what he says is extremely tempting.
But at this time, all the people in the village were in shock. How could anyone believe his nonsense?
For a moment, not only did no one respond to those strong men, but they looked at this group of people with deep hatred in their eyes.
The big man with the beard seems to have a lot of experience in handling this kind of situation.
He looked playfully at the young people who had fire in their eyes but did not dare to move. He slowly raised his hand and then swung it down violently.
A soldier dressed as a guard next to him had a trace of unbearability flashing in his cold eyes, but he still gritted his teeth, drew his knife and slashed at a woman kneeling in front of him.
"ah……"
The screams stopped abruptly, like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and the woman's body was found somewhere else.
A strong man who was surrounded by the bluestone let out a heart-rending howl and rushed towards the woman regardless.
But just as he passed by the guard, there was a swipe sound and the light of the sword flashed past.
The man's cry suddenly turned into a wheezing sound like a leaking breath. He covered his throat tightly with both hands but could not stop the blood spurting out. He staggered forward for a few steps, but still collapsed on the ground weakly and twitched all over.
Even so, the man still struggled to move forward.
But until he couldn't move anymore, he couldn't reach the woman with his stretched out palm.
This tragic scene almost made all the people excited.
The big man with the beard refused to give up, and pointed at a few men who made the most noise.
Immediately, soldiers broke into the crowd and forcibly dragged several people out. With a few clicks, the pungent smell of blood quickly filled the air.
All the noisy sounds on the field suddenly stopped, especially when the bearded man looked there, the people there immediately lowered their heads like quails, for fear of angering these murderous beasts.
Everyone bit their lips and breathed much softer. Even the children had their mouths tightly covered by the woman next to them.
"Listen up, everyone must be familiar with the White Rock Mountain ahead.
Now as long as anyone runs to that mountain temple, then even if the mission is completed, not only will he be able to survive, but his wife, children, and the whole family will also be reunited!"
Having said this, the bearded man stopped for a moment and quietly observed the crowd.
Seeing that not only was there no one raising any objections, but there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of many young and strong people, he had a satisfied smile on his face, but his voice suddenly turned cold.
"By the way, we only need half of them!
And being useless means that you have no value and can die at any time. The lives of you and your family are all in your own hands. Start now!"
Someone in the crowd screamed angrily, as if they were at the end of their rope, and took the lead in running toward the barren Baishi Mountain in the distance.
As soon as someone took the lead, the remaining reluctance and resistance in the hearts of the others were quickly thrown out of the sky, and everyone followed in a chaotic swarm.
A strange smile appeared on the face of the big man with beard, and he raised his hand and made a few gestures.
Immediately, a group of cavalry surrounded them, hanging slowly behind the crowd like sheepdogs.
After everyone left, the bearded man still didn't turn around. He just stared at Baishi Mountain in the distance in silence for a long time.
As time passed, the guard next to him couldn't help but let out a soft breath.
"Sir, it's almost time..."
The big man with the beard knew what was going to happen next. His burly body shook slightly, and he raised his big hand slightly, then lowered it, then raised it again...
After repeating this over and over again, the big hand finally stabbed down hard like a javelin raised high.
But there was silence all around, not a single soldier made any move, and everyone who had been executing the orders meticulously just now couldn't help but look at the bearded man with pleading eyes.
Only the guard who warned him just now could not help but cry and growl hoarsely.
"Take action! You bastards, do you want to kill me?"
As Konoe spoke, he fiercely pulled out his long knife and walked towards a woman holding a child next to him.
The woman had beautiful features and was at the most beautiful age in her life, but at this time she was almost scared to death.
She just kept mumbling.
"Husband, husband, Qing Niang, Bao'er is afraid! Husband, where are you... I am afraid..."
The young child was holding an old rattle tightly in his hand, his clear pupils were staring at the tall figure who was gradually approaching, and his tear-stained eyes were full of fear.
As soon as the guard walked towards her, the woman seemed to understand something. Water stains were faintly visible on her lower skirt. She shook her head like crazy and pressed the little face of the child in her arms to her chest to prevent him from looking at it.
It seems like this can make these people change their minds, and it seems like this can save their children from danger.
Such a move is really stupid!
But, this is the only thing she can do at this time!
Konoe's hand holding the sword trembled inexplicably, but he still raised it firmly and closed his eyes to slash it down hard.
But the long knife never fell, and a huge force tightly blocked the long knife.
When Konoe opened his eyes, he didn't know when a big man with a beard had appeared beside him, holding the sharp blade tightly with his thick hands.
The blood slowly dripped down the wrist, but the color was slightly dark.
The big man with the beard grabbed the long knife and turned a blind eye to the injury on his palm. His chest heaved up and down, and finally his wrist was raised violently, and the long knife flashed away like lightning.
The big man with the beard whipped up his long sword, put it accurately into the guard's scabbard, turned around and left.
"I have to bear my own sins. Who do you think you are?"
Konoe's eyes were slightly blurry and red, and he clutched the handle of the knife tightly. He lowered his head in sorrow, and only spat out the two coldest words in the world from his mouth.
"Do it!"
Just two words, but they weighed on his heart like a huge mountain.
Seeing the soldiers who were still hesitating, he became violent and yelled out again with all his strength.
"Do it..."
The air seemed to have solidified. All the soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, but in the end they all lowered their heads.
The nearest soldier was very young, and the hair on the corners of his mouth was still a little green. He kept staring blankly at the mother and son lying in a pool of blood, motionless as if they were stupid.
At this moment, he seemed to be awakened by the roar, and he turned his head violently.
"Let's do this...ah..."
With a cold expression on his face, the guard waved his long knife and stepped over the young man's body.
The blood on the tip of the knife dripped drop by drop on the still twitching corpse, and the young face seemed to be shedding tears of blood.
The guard stopped talking, and just looked at the soldiers one by one with blood-red pupils.
"ah……"
One of the soldiers roared wildly, drawing his sword and slashing like a madman.
As if stimulated by the smell of blood, the others howled one after another, and under the bright sword light, they broke into the sheep like a group of wild beasts...
Why!
Xu Luo couldn't bear to watch the next scene and simply withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
This group of beasts can only deceive these villagers. Anyone with a little knowledge will understand, how could these soldiers let these people go?
This step was obviously planned long ago.
The last hesitation just now was just the last trace of conscience in these people's hearts!
With the last muffled sound, the whole village fell completely silent.
And if nothing unexpected happens, he will remain quiet from now on, as if he were dead.
Benefit, Benefit...
A series of rapid hoofbeats suddenly appeared in Xu Luo's spiritual consciousness.
"Sir, that mountain temple seems to be dedicated to Confucius Wen!"
"What?"
The bearded man, who was already in a complicated mood, seemed to have finally found an outlet for his inner frustration.
"That poor scholar who doesn't have the strength to tie a chicken, but is full of nonsense?
Damn it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to our brother if he was allowed to benefit from such a poor person?
Go, before those fools arrive and the formation is activated, go and push that poor man down for me!"
"It's okay to push him down. Brothers, no one likes this poor scholar who only relies on one mouth. But now, where can we find a replacement?"
Ignoring the anxious look on Konoe's face, the bearded man walked around in circles a few times.
Finally, his eyes fell on the big bluestone standing nearby, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, if there is no substitute, why don't we just find one? I think this bluestone is good, just wait..."
Xu Luo felt his consciousness drifting. When he regained consciousness, he felt that the scene he perceived was inexplicably familiar. After observing carefully for a moment, he recognized that it should be the mountain temple before it collapsed.
And now his body is at the top, overlooking everything below.
