Chapter 162: The Miserable Appearance of Forging Hall
Looking at the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance, Shi Huangzi took a closer look. They were no different from the hills they encountered along the way. The mountains were not particularly high, and there were sparse trees on them, as well as lush and long trees.
The water plants are as tall as a person.
Compared with some towering mountains in the distance, it didn't seem surprising. The thousands of people flashed into the water and grass. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was just a formation blown by the wind.
There are trickles of water all around, hidden among the water plants. There is no trace of a large ship passing through. If you don't consider the problem of large ships traveling together, there will be no difference in hiding thousands of people in this place. It is indeed hidden.
Great place.
"this?"
Shi Huangzi couldn't help but wonder, with such traffic conditions, how could it be possible for the swamp boat to pass through? It was not impossible to use force to violently create a channel, but wasn't this completely exposed?
Looking at Shi Xin's expression of "You'll know later", Shi Huangzi suppressed the doubts in his heart and said nothing. He was quietly waiting for the moment when Shi Xin would conjure up a miracle for him.
.
After a while, the Second Lieutenant Blackfire and others who had cleaned up the traces of the voyage had returned and were also standing guard, waiting patiently for the reply from the First Lieutenant Blackfire and the Tyrant Bandits.
"call out!"
A clear and loud whistle came from the mountain pass.
"Whoosh..."
Shi Xin responded with a rhythmic whistling sound, just like the turbulent sound of birds in the forest in spring. The young man who had some knowledge of bird language looked at Shi Xin with a strange look on his face, with a "your uncle" look on his face.
"The front is safe and sound, all ships are spiraling forward and preparing."
Shi Xin gave an order, and after each ship was ready for spiral advancement, a low humming sound was heard, and a feeling of river water pouring in came, and the five ships all swayed together.
Shi Huangzi was shocked to find that the water plants that were originally as thick as quagmire slowly parted, and a clear current came. The entire fleet was actually sinking slowly with the sinking water level. In the blink of an eye, the highest point of the ship was
It is actually much shorter than the original water plant.
An underground river slowly appeared, and the long-lost clear water like an external river emerged, which surprised Shi Huangzi for a while. Then, under Shi Xin's "order to advance spirally," the entire fleet slowly penetrated under the water plants.
in the dark river.
"this?"
Not only Shi Huangzi, but also Li Feier, Xiao Nan and others next to him all shouted out in surprise.
"This is an underground underground river that leads directly to the valley inside the mountain. The entire mountain except for the valley mouth above, the underground river below, and the corridor that can only accommodate one person...
The miasma clouds above follow the law of clearness at the top and turbidity at the bottom, so the clouds and mist above are the purest miasma energy. Even the strong ones in the Wuzong realm dare not fly into the clouds easily.
The central corridor has layers of mechanisms we have set up. It is impossible for ordinary people to break through our protection, and the underground river needs to be opened internally to activate the mechanism, so others cannot enter at all."
Shi Xin said with some pride, which made everyone stunned.
"How could the Forging Hall, which was under such strict protection, be destroyed?"
The little man said something quickly, and was directly grabbed by Shi Huangzi's tail and stuffed into his waist trouser pocket, with constant resentment in his heart:
"You bastard, I think you are smart. Everyone knows that this question is being solved. Do you have to be so anxious to intervene?"
Sure enough, after hearing the young man's words, Shi Xin's somewhat proud expression instantly cooled down, giving Shi Huangzi a "bad feeling".
"So, I'm also very surprised as to why the Forging Hall was destroyed. There must be a traitor among them. I must cut him into pieces."
Surprisingly, Shi Xin did not sink because of the young man's quick words. Instead, he clenched his hands into fists and thought fiercely, speaking fiercely.
After stuffing the little boy, the big-mouthed little man, into a cloth bag, the five warships slowly sailed along the underground river into the valley. The scenery inside made Shi Huangzi secretly sigh that it was a fantasy land.
I saw a lake in the mountains, with clear water and fish, and nearly three square kilometers of flat land, with green trees and a sea of flowers and plants, and no sour smell from the outside at all.
Breathing in the rare fresh air, looking at the surrounding cliffs, the gray and white clouds on the top, and the black fish swimming in the lake, Shi Huangzi suddenly felt like he had returned to the mysterious valley in the Cangmang Mountains.
The location where the five warships came out was a vast cave entrance, and they were lined up on the lake. Shi Yi and Li Xing were already leading the people to wait on the shore.
It was obviously a shipyard, and there was no trace of the swamp boat. The house built against the cliff was already devastated. There were craters on the ground made by the bombardment, and there were various blackened blood stains, showing that there had been encounters here.
Great war.
Walking with heavy steps in the center of the formation where the soldiers and regiment members were lined up, everyone had a sad look on their face, at the end of the road...
Looking around, at the end of the road, in front of the house with broken eaves and broken walls, there was a scene that made Shi Huangzi point his fingers in anger and make his heart bleed.
Shi Xin, who was originally walking behind him, could no longer restrain his emotions. He screamed to cover up his tears. The scene of the strong-minded man shedding tears moved Shi Huangzi and made him stand on both sides with his head held high.
The members of the Bandit Group shed two hot tears.
"Xiaozizi...little frog...Xiaotian'er, the things that big brother promised you haven't been done yet...wuwu..."
In front of the broken window, Shi Xin threw himself in front of a pile of broken limbs and disfigured bodies, howling and crying. Shi Huangzi swore that this was the first time Shi Xin had lost his composure after sewing with him again.
Such a gaffe in front of 2,000 people.
At this time, Shi Xin was like a child who had been wronged or lost his most precious toy, holding each of his broken bodies and crying out in pain, which made Shi Huangzi's heart hurt.
This is just as imaginary as the night when the Stone Clan was destroyed, and it is as tragic as Shi Xiaocui dying to save him.
Brother Xu was happy with his family, but in the end he was alone in tears facing the tomb.
He understands this pain.
A person faces everything alone.
He knows this pain.
Looking at the waist badges of Juntian Forging Hall hanging on each waist, even one or two severed hands holding them tightly, the Juntian badge imitating the phantom of the nine formations was imprinted in his hand with the young man himself, then
It was they who truly fulfilled their promise to Shi Huangzi.
Once you enter Juntian, you will be born as a Juntian person and die as a Juntian person!
"roar..."
A long, golden lion roared from the mouth of the young man who transformed into his true form. The roar contained indescribable grief and anger.
"kneel!"
Walking to Shi Xin's side, watching the members of the Tyrannical Band and the First Lieutenant of Black Fire, who had been taken a step ahead, picking up the arranged bodies, Shi Huangzi's loud roar roared out.
"kneel..."
"kneel..."
Following Shi Huangzi's shouts were the roars of Shi Xin and Jin Ge.
"Bang..."
The uniform sound of one kneeling on the ground was like a loud bell ringing in this quiet and peaceful valley, like a thunderbolt from the sky. A total of 2,000 soldiers, including Shi Huangzi and the others, knelt heavily in front of more than two hundred broken bodies.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you.
The king raised his army, repaired my sword and spear, and shared the same enemy with me!
How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat as my son.
The king has raised his army, repaired my spear and halberd, and worked with me together!
How can I say that I have no clothes? I wear the same clothes as my son.
The king raised his army, repaired my armor and soldiers, and went with me!
The son of Juntian will live forever, swear to kill the thieves, and sleep peacefully with you.
When the sky is overthrown and the earth is overturned, a tablet and a book will be set up to record your glorious military exploits."
Shi Huangzi pointed his right hand to the sky, knelt down and shouted, drinking the endless heroic "Qin Feng", to the 100 brothers who were sent to the forging hall, and to the more than 100 blacksmiths from the forging hall who came with their hearts but met with violent deaths, Swear loudly.
The 2,000 soldiers behind him followed suit and shouted in unison.
Although the Black Fire Third Lieutenant is still a true Juntian man, but seeing that their young commander can treat such soldiers as brothers, their roars and sadness are no less than that of the 500 Overlords who truly have a robe-like friendship. The sound of gangsters.
"Perak Bala..."
The sound of the bonfire continued to burn, and the bodies of the dead people in the forging hall continued to burn until dawn the next day. Shi Huangzi ordered people to keep them in jade jars, and put their ashes and identity tags in the jade jars. in a bottle.
When he returns to Juntian's headquarters, he will set up a Hall of Heroes and send people to build monuments for these heroic spirits to record their dedication to Juntian.
...
"Tianjun, there are no clues. The corridor has not been destroyed, and the underground river is safe. The murderer seems to have entered it silently..."
In the lounge of the main ship, Shi Xin, Shi Yi, Li Fei'er, Xiao Nan, Jin Ge, Li Xing, Qian Fang, and Ren Zheng were all together, reporting on their respective findings.
"Little man, you are the only one here who has the power of soul. What did you find?"
Listening to the reports of several people who found nothing, Shi Huangzi frowned and placed his last hope on Xiaonan. According to everyone's reports, he pointed directly at a suspect, that is Shi Ba.
However, until there is no conclusive evidence, such a point of view will chill the hearts of Shi Xin and Shi Yi. This is not the case of "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go". Warriors have a will and a vest.
Just like the principle of "water can carry a boat and capsize it", the cost of rebellion by warriors in this world is smaller and the destructive power is greater. If there is no evidence to point to, it may trigger a butterfly response and make Juntian fall apart. .
Because you can't find a reason to convince everyone "why they doubt the elder leader". Pointing for no reason can only make people turn away and leave with cold hearts, and eventually twist into a rebellious force and throw themselves into the arms of the enemy.
Unless Shi Huangzi is now the most powerful and peak warrior in the entire Martial Qi Continent, and there is a group of equally powerful warriors who believe in him unswervingly.
If you point your finger, you will be killed with blood.
This is a determination to kill external enemies, not a reason to kill internal enemies.
