Chapter 48: Yadan Past

"Dog gallbladder!" Brother Shuhan roared suddenly.
Sixty-three-year-old Ge Shuhan had seen nothing he had seen in his life on this day-for the first time someone made a ridiculous story in front of himself, and it was also the first time that someone used a guarantee for the above item and lost Actually don't recognize it!
"Catch me for me!" Ge Shuhan shouted, "I escorted to the execution ground!"
Li Jinglong and Hong Jun had rushed out of the General Hall's front hall, and ran to the backyard regardless of direction. The carp demon was hibernating on Hong Jun's back, and was awoken by a sudden, shouting, "Hey! What are you doing ?! Why did you suddenly fight?" ?! Where is this? "
"Lishen pollen!" Hongjun anxiously said in a hurry.
"You wrapped me too tightly!" The carp demon was afraid of the cold. Hongjun had wrapped it in a swaddle before. The carp demon was like a baby for a while, and his hands could not be drawn.
Li Jinglong shouted: "I can't open my hands!"
Ge Shuhan was protected at the innermost position, and he was unable to get close at all. A large number of soldiers with strong crossbows poured out from the general ’s palace. The scene was chaotic. Horses are pierceable, and it is not fun to be hit by a falling arrow.
"Go!" Li Jinglong shouted.
Hong Jun shook away the five-colored divine light, blocking the arrows in front of the two. The soldiers were still merciful, shooting only their legs and feet. Li Jinglong rushed to the wall and bowed, shouting, "Jump!"
Hong Jun stepped on Li Jinglong's back and stepped on the high wall of the General's Mansion. He turned his hands around, and the five-colored divine light was twisted, and the arrows flew in all directions. The soldiers shouted in surprise, Zhang Hao quickly rushed out, shouting: "Li Jinglong! Don't run! Have something to say!"
Taking advantage of this, Li Jinglong had jumped up the high wall and jumped out of the General Mansion with Hong Jun.
Hong Jun said: "Either we take the general as a hostage ..."
Li Jinglong: "Can you?"
Hong Jun: "Otherwise, what do you say about the head guarantee ..."
"How do I know!" Li Jinglong screamed, "Isn't it usually said so casually? Who knows he will take it seriously ?!"
The two had just gasped for breath, but the soldiers rushed out, and Li Jinglong shouted, "Run to a crowded place--!"
At the beginning of the winter in the middle of Liangzhou City, the crowd was clamoring at the market, and the two rushed out of the alley. When Hong Jun was about to hide in the market, Li Jinglong pulled him back and said, "Wait!" Slowly, each put away the crossbow arrows, I am afraid that the people would be hurt, Li Jinglong said: "Go!"
"Separate ..."
"Separate the head!" Li Jinglong pushed Hong Jun and hid in the crowd. The soldiers dismounted and came to investigate. When there were many people, Li Jinglong went in and out, and he and Hong Jun threw away the chasing soldiers. After a long while, the two hid in an alley and gasped, Li Jinglong was still sneezing.
"What should I do?" Hong Jun stood at the entrance of the alley and looked out.
The carp demon was wrapped in one hand with a baggage, and the other hand waved around the outside, saying: "Can't get Lishen Pollen, Hong Jun loosened me."
"Save some use." Li Jinglong said, "There is no place to make up after use."
The sound of a horseshoe passed by, and Zhang Hao's voice heard from outside, and said, "You have checked all the alleys."
Hong Jun was shocked, and the patrol soldiers came towards himself. The lane was a dead end, and they had to jump off the wall, but suddenly a door was pushed open in the lane.
"Two, please follow me." A girl's voice said.
Li Jinglong turned back suddenly and saw that he was a high-nosed mixed-race Hu girl. When Hong Jun was hesitating, Li Jinglong had already made a decisive decision and flew into the door with him.
The Hu girl took them through the backyard of a family, and then walked out from the front door. At that time, Hu and Han of Liangzhou Prefecture lived together, and the Semen and Hui people built their own residences many years ago, and even the houses of the Hu and Han The staggers are quite different. The Han residence was dominated by wooden tiles and brick houses, while the Hu residence was erected with white stone, rammed earth and poplar. The scattered trails between the houses were very complicated. After several turns, the chase was completely abandoned.
Hu Nu took them through a market alley, which was a poor street in Liangzhou Prefecture. It was freezing cold, and many people were still doing business here.
"Hey! Does your fish sell?" A Hui people patted Hong Jun on the shoulder and said in Chinese.
"Do not sell!" Carp demon righteously rejected him strictly.
When the Hui people saw the fish suddenly opened their mouths, they were screamed in shock and fell to the ground. The girl Hu said impatiently to him: "Don't make trouble!"
Hu Nu was very sturdy. No one dared to provoke in the alley. When she was halfway down, she squatted down to buy food. Li Jinglong and Hong Jun were puzzled, but did not ask questions. Go to a house.
Hu Nu said: "Come in and drink tea." Then she opened the door.
This is a quiet family. A stone mill is built in the front yard and a mule is raised. It enters the antechamber. The decoration is simple and simple. A black Hanshi armor is placed on each side of the hall. Hu Nu went in and shouted: "Dad! Mother, I brought people back!"
Hong Jun was looking around in the patio. Two white-colored white robes were hanging in the sun. A Hui woman was mending a long skirt. He heard her head and asked Li Jinglong and Hong Jun to go in. Another person came out in the hall and changed In the official uniform, wrapped in half-worn cotton jacket, it was Qin Liang!
"This is Li Changshi's son." Qin Liang smiled, "it's a big disaster."
When Hong Jun was surprised, Li Jinglong thought about it quickly and clenched his fists to salute. Thanks to Qin Liang for helping out, Qin Liang waved his hands and asked him to come to the hall.
"This is a long story," Qin Liang said worriedly. "The old general came first. The brethren in Liangzhou City, if they offend, please also ask Shi Haihan."
"Do you believe it?" Li Jinglong was very surprised.
Qin Liang looked dignified, nodded slowly, and replied: "Twelve years ago, I saw the monsters you said in Shazhou. They are called" Ghosts. "
After the snow drifted across the sky, Mozhigen drove the horse through the wilderness, and immediately landed on the landing Xu. Shiwei people were good hands walking around the outside of the country. Mozhigen passed along the leeward mountains and stopped all the way. When the weather changes, look for a small town, or find a cave to keep out the cold. Occasionally, I play a few prey and eat it with fire. At night, I can also find hot springs and Lu Xu to take a bath to spend a day tired. .
"Where do you go next?" Mo Zhigen asked the Lu Xu stationed in the high ground.
Lu Xuli stood on the cliff and looked into the distance, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Mo Rigen said again: "Where are you looking?" Lu Xu looked to the southeast of the Qilian Mountains covered with snow in the distance, squinting, thinking, and hesitating.
Lu Xu rarely spoke, and Mo Rigen could already judge from his eyes where he was in the right direction. Lu Xu seemed to have been hesitant along the way and was willing to take Mo Rigen, but he was afraid to meet his own fear again. thing. However, as he and Mozhigen continued to penetrate into Hexi territory, this fear continued to subside and became confidence in Mozhigen. After all, Morigan is very powerful, and the familiar roads go deep into the deserted places and can always find a direction. No matter what beast, he has never dared to commit crimes.
Lu Xu was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing Mo Zhigen shoot a bear and seeing a tiger fall empty-handed, he began to worship.
Mo Rigen judged from Lu Xu's expression that the destination was probably near. He walked down the mountain road, patted the saddle, motioned to Lu Xu to mount the horse, but Lu Xu remained motionless, staring at him.
"Go, don't be afraid." Mo Rigen took off his mask and stared at Lu Xu seriously, saying, "I have it."
Lu Xu hesitated for a moment, and then turned his horse back. Mo Rigen raised his whip and shouted: "Driving!" Take the landing Xu Chi to the foot of Qilian Mountain. At dusk the sky was vast, the clouds were vast, and a ruined village appeared in the distance.
Mo Rigen was very surprised. In front of the Ma Village, Lu Xu rolled up and down, rolled over and dismounted, uttered a heartbreaking cry, and rushed into the village.
Morrigan: "..."
Morigen understood this. After Lu Xu sent the letter, the destination was home. The village was full of corpses, as if there had been a captivity. There were no living people left in the village. The house where Lu Xu bumped into was the doorway with the cow head of Shiwei hanging, and the malachite green dress of the Tubo woman hanging outside , Still floating in the wind.
In the snowy mountains, the blood stains of this village have been covered by white heavy snow. There is silence in the village, the prayer flags are flying outside the village, the sky is a touch of moonlight, and the cry of crazy with the landing.
Mo Zhigen pushed the door in and saw Lu Xu crying with a dead woman in her back. Lu Xu cried with a snot and tears, and covered his face. Mo Rigen pulled him up and took him in front of him, Lu Xu was still shaking.
"You guessed it on the road," Morigen said.
He finally understood Lu Xu's expression of being afraid and having to come—he was worried about his village, his father and mother, but all this was expected.
what the is it?
Mo Zhigen blindly landed Xu's eyes and took him outside the house. He picked up a shovel and stuffed it into his hand. He asked him to dig a hole and said, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Lu Xu was crying while standing and digging the pit. Mo Zhigen knew that all the sorrowful people asked him to do something, and the pain would gradually alleviate, and he went inside to examine Lu Mu's body.
I saw Lu Xu's mother holding a dagger in her left hand and clenched her right hand tightly.
He gently broke Lu Mu's hand and saw an iron armor in his hand.
Mo Rigen held the iron plate and sniffed it in front of his nose, with doubts on his face. He hurried out and inspected the other villagers who had died. Most of the deceased had their eyes wide open, and a fatal wound appeared on their chests. The deceased were old and young, but there were no adult men.
"Your father may still be alive!" Morigan quickly walked out of the house and said to Lu Xu, "There are no adult men's bodies here!"
Lu Xu looked surprised, put down the digging shovel, Mo Zhigen thought for a moment, then quickly walked to the high ground, raised his head, sniffed against the wind.
Immediately afterwards, under the setting sun, Morigen's face quickly grew hair, and the whole body emitted strong light, bowed and pressed the ground, and the body expanded into a gray giant wolf, with a roar!
Lu Xu was stunned in an instant, stepped back, but the blue wolf jumped from the high ground, bowing his head and sniffing something in the snow.
"I'll go and I will go back." The wolf made Morigen's voice, but it became low and dumb. He glanced back at Lu Xu and said, "You're careful here."
The blue wolf ran out a few steps, but Lu Xu followed with a "hey" sound.
As soon as the blue wolf came out of the village, Lu Xu caught up, and the black wolf turned back and said, "Go back!"
Lu Xu chased stubbornly on the snow, he ran extremely fast, and he ran like the wind, actually being able to catch up with the blue wolf. Not for a moment, the blue wolf had to stop and said helplessly: "I will go after the murderer!"
Lu Xu held a dagger in his left hand, and with a shovel in his right, he drew a picture towards the blue wolf and said, "Dawn Star, Dawn Star!"
The blue wolf revealed sharp canines and whispered: "Go back to the village, I will come back."
Lu Xu approached the wolf stubbornly, and finally the wolf was helpless, and said, "Well, ride on." Then he bowed slightly and let Lu Xu sit up.
"You are the second person to ride me." The wolf raised his head, chasing and recognizing the smell in the air, and then started running.
Lu Xu did n’t dare to grab the ear of the wolf, he had to lie down, hug his neck tightly, and put it on his back, the wind screamed for a moment, the wolf ran for a moment in the dusk, and came to a barren plain Above, the snow is almost melted, and a golden sunset shining on the ground is shining on the ground.
It raised its head and sniffed left and right as if it had lost its way. Then it took a deep breath, and suddenly a wolf howling that shook the sky. The wolf howling sounded in the mountains, forming an echo, and there seemed to be a group of wolves in the mountains, wave after wave.
Not long ago, on the wasteland, the wolves ran from all directions towards the green wolf, and there were thousands of black pressure on it. When they came to the green wolf, they all bowed their heads.
The blue wolf straightened slightly, and Lu Xu busy clasped his neck tightly so as not to slide down, and looked at the wolves gathered around him in surprise.
The wolves shook their heads and spouted a piece of iron armor bitten in the middle of the canine teeth, which fell on the stone and made a soft noise. The local wolf first stepped forward and sniffed, then turned and flew away. Then the rest of the wolves came like a tide, and six of them slammed forward, sniffing the iron plate, and then turned around and left in all directions. From beginning to end, within a moment, the wolves retreated cleanly and scattered towards the plains below the Qilian Mountains.
"Pick it up." The wolf said, "You keep it."
Lu Xu received the iron armor, and the blue wolf carried him, rushing towards the horizon where the western red sun wheel sank. For a while, the wolves gathered again, and nearly two hundred wolves followed behind the blue wolf, galloping wildly on the wilderness.
In the distance, the wolf howls one after another. The wolves crossed the river, washed up the cliff, and slid down from the snow slope. As the sun and moon rose, the moon became brighter and brighter, sending a piece of silver to the earth. The wolves were arranged on the ridge, howling sounds, the wolves sniffed and smelled a strong smell in the air--
Bad smell.
In Liangzhou City, the gusty wind blew, the sky was dim, and Mrs. Qin Liang entered, lighting the lamp.
"... I was the master of the school in Shazhou that year, the boss was Jia Lao's youngest son Jia Songwen, and he was the officer of Xuncheng. I was his deputy. We practiced martial arts and went north in the wind ..."
Twelve years ago, Qin Liang was only twenty-three years old that year, and he was led by the school lieutenant to practice in March. Nearly two hundred people originally wanted to pass Yadan and go to Mingsha County. Then the wind and sand suddenly started that night, and the sandstorm swept the frontier. The city was one day away from Mingsha County, but everyone lost their way in Yadan and went further and further.
In the Gobi, soot was rolling on the desert, everyone was trapped in the desert, drinking water was cut off, and horses fell to the ground one after another. Even after killing the war horse, not much blood could be released. Jia Songwen and Qin Liang dragged their tired bodies. The soldiers carried stretchers and walked on foot in the Gobi.
After three days and three nights, the people finally lost their vitality and fell under a wall of Gobi. Just as Qin Liangkui lost consciousness, a tall man wearing a armor in the Han Dynasty led hundreds of soldiers to appear in front of him .
Li Jinglong: "..."
Hong Jun was shocked: "The people we met under the Great Wall?"
Qin Liang shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but some of his soldiers are wearing Han Shi armor, some are wearing Wei armor, and some are wearing the North Dynasty armor. It looks like a mixed army. "
At that time, Qin Liang was dying, and the leader took him. He rushed to Yadan for a while, and finally threw him into a stream.
"I thought they were Turks who entered the captivity, but they didn't look like that." Qin Liang exclaimed, "At that time, the brethren were all sun-drenched. I'm afraid they would take me captive and force Yumenguan to surrender. , The headed person took off his helmet and unmasked the mask. "
Li Jinglong and Hong Jun were silent, Qin Liang fell into his own memories, and said fascinatingly: "His appearance ... I still remember it after twelve years. Those eyes are white, the skin ... is mottled gray, he It ’s a corpse—the body of the Han Dynasty. "
Hong Jun said "Ah", Li Jinglong said: "The ancient corpses of the Han Dynasty? How can we live to this day in eight or nine hundred years?"
Qin Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the leader told me that their name is called 'War dead corpse'. His surname is Liu, but he is the royal family of the Han Dynasty and the king of the ghouls."
The cold wind blew into the room, the lights were swaying and extinguishing, and Hong Jun suddenly felt cold behind him.
Qin Liang also said: "They are tossing around the plug, sometimes appearing on the Silk Road, sometimes crossing Yadan, and going deep into the Hexi Corridor."
"Why?" Li Jinglong asked.
Qin Liang said: "They will enter the Yumen Pass at least once a year, looking for the soldiers who have fulfilled their duties but have died vigorously, turning them into ghouls, in order to strengthen the camp of the ghost soldiers. They finally arrived in Dunhuang and made their own pilgrimage.
Hong Jun wondered: "He is willing to save you, it must not be a bad monster."
"That's what I said." Qin Liang replied, "I guess this ghoul king, there must be some legends. Although it is easy to save, he is indeed my life-saving benefactor."
Li Jinglong and Hong Jun looked at each other, even more puzzled.
