chapter 27

After the national teacher jumped down, he said in Banyue language: "Ki Mo, what's going on?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the voice was quite different from Xie Lian's imagination. It did sound cold, but it was small, like a sullen child talking to himself, not the cold, powerful voice. If it weren't for Xie Lian's ear power, he might not be able to hear clearly at all. Ke Mo said: "What's going on? They are all dead!"

The national teacher said: "How come they are all dead?"

Ke Mo said: "It's not because you pushed them all down and locked them in this damn place!"

The national teacher said: "Who is here? There is another person."

In fact, at the bottom of the pit, besides the engraving, there should be two more "people". However, Saburo did not breathe or heartbeat, and the Banyue National Teacher could not catch the slightest trace of his existence. She couldn't remember who fell and who ran away, so she thought she was the only one who was thankful. Ke Mo said: "They killed my soldiers, are you happy now? Everything you wanted to kill has finally died!"

The national teacher was silent for a while, and after a while, a fire suddenly ignited in the darkness, reflecting a black-clothed girl holding a small flame in her palm.

The girl looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She had dark eyes, but she was not unhappy, but she looked very unhappy, with bruises on her forehead and the corners of her mouth, which could be clearly seen in the firelight. The palm holding the fire seemed to be trembling, and the flames in the palm of it were also trembling. If it hadn't been confirmed in advance, no one would have imagined that Ban Yue Guo Shi was such a pale little girl.

The flame not only illuminated herself, but also illuminated her surroundings. At her feet were the bodies of half-moon soldiers in armor.

Xie Lian couldn't help but glanced aside.

Because the flame held up by the national teacher was very small, it did not illuminate the whole picture of the sinner's pit, and they were still hidden in the darkness. However, through the light of the fire in the distance, he could see a red-clothed figure beside him. . Although it can't be seen clearly, he can still see vaguely at the place that is very close to his eyes. don't know if it is an illusion. Saburo was already taller than him before, but now he seems to be a little taller.

Xie Lian's gaze slowly moved upwards, came to the throat of the young man, paused for a moment, and then continued upwards, staying on the beautifully shaped lower jaw.

The upper half of Saburo's face is still hidden in the darkness, and Xie Lian feels that the lower half of his face seems to be subtly different from before. Although it is the same handsome, but the lines and outlines seem to be clearer.

Perhaps he noticed his gaze, the face turned slightly to one side, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

The arc of that curve is extremely confusing. The two are already very close. However, if you want to see the upper half of Saburo's face, you must get closer. Unconsciously, Xie Lian approached him again. One step, at this time, I only heard a mournful cry in the distance, thinking that I had seen this tragic situation with my own eyes, and was greatly stimulated. Xie Lian turned his head back, and the national teacher heard him shout, but his expression was wooden. After a long while, he said: "Okay, I'm finally free."

Kemo was in grief, and when he heard the words, he was furious: "What is good? What do you mean?!"

This anger does not seem to be fake at all, it seems that he really hates this national teacher. The national teacher said: "All liberated."

She turned to Xie Lian in the dark and said, "Did you kill them?"

This sentence turned out to be very standard Chinese, and it was not a questioning tone. Thanks for the pity: "This is... an accident."

The national teacher asked again, "Who are you?"

Xie Lian said: "I am a priest in Heaven, and this is my friend."

Ke Mo couldn't understand, but he could hear that they were not arguing, and said vigilantly, "What are you talking about?"

The national teacher's eyes slowly swept over Xie Lian, stayed on Saburo for a moment, and then put it away, saying: "No priest has ever come here. I thought you guys would have ignored it for a long time."

Xie Lian originally thought that she would have a fight with the Banyue National Teacher, but who knew that she was extremely depressed and had no fighting spirit, so she was a little surprised. She asked again, "Are you going out?"

This conversation can be said to be weird, but Xie Lian still communicated with her calmly and said: "I want to go out. But there is an array around here, so I can't go out."

The national teacher listened, walked to the high wall of the Sinner's Pit, reached out and doodled on the wall for a while, turned around, and said, "I opened it."

"..."

This is too good to talk about.

Xie Lian doesn't know what to say anymore. At this moment, a voice of a person came from above, and said from a distance: "Is there anyone below?"

It's a fluttering sound.

Xie Lian seemed to hear Saburo tut beside him. He immediately raised his head and saw a figure in black looking down. He shouted: "Fuyao! I'm below!"

After shouting, he waved his hand, and Fu Yao said on it, "Why is it really down there? What's down there?"

Thanks for the pity: "This...there are a lot of things below, or you can see for yourself."

Fuyao also seemed to think it was better to listen to him than to see it himself, so with a "boom", he released a large fireball and threw it downward. In an instant, the bottom of the entire sinner's pit was illuminated by a group of fire, and Xie Lian finally saw what kind of place he was standing.

Surrounding him in all directions was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood that had formed a peak. The corpses of countless half-moon soldiers were piled up on top of each other, with dark faces and arms, bright armor, and purple blood. And the place where Xie Lian stands is the only open space at the bottom of the entire sinner's pit without corpses.

All of these were done in a split second in the dark after Saburo jumped down.

Xie Lian turned around again and looked at the young man beside him.

Just now in the darkness, he vaguely saw that Saburo suddenly seemed to be taller, and there were subtle differences in some subtleties. However, at this moment, under the bright firelight, standing beside him was the original handsome boy. Seeing him, he smiled slightly. Xie pity looked down at his wrist and boots, and it was the same as before, there was no abnormality, and he understood in his heart. However, when Fuyao is here, it's better to hide it, so as not to cause more troubles. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a muffled sound, and Fuyao also jumped down.

Thanks for the pity: "Aren't you looking after the caravan?"

Fuyao had just come down, and he was still not used to the bloody atmosphere at the bottom of the pit. He frowned and fanned the air with his hand, and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen you guys come back after waiting for three hours. I think something happened. They stay, come and see first."

Drawing a circle naturally refers to a protective circle, but Xie Lian is still a big one when he hears it, and said: "Drawing a circle won't last long, if you leave like this, they will inevitably be left with suspicion, how about running out of the circle. Is good?"

However, Fuyao disagreed and said, "Eight horses can't pull people when they want to die, so there's nothing to do. What's going on with these two? Who and who are they?"

He was very vigilant to guard against the other two people at the bottom of the pit, but soon found that Ke Mo was beaten all over, and it was difficult to move on the ground. . Thanks for the pity: "This is the general of Banyue Kingdom, this is the national teacher of Banyue Kingdom, and now they..."

Before he finished speaking, Ke Mo suddenly jumped up.

After lying on the ground for so long, he finally gathered up his strength, shouted loudly, stood up, and slapped Guo Shi Banyue with a palm.

A burly man beat a little girl, such a scene, if it was in the past, it would not have happened in front of Xie Lian. However, Kemo has a very good reason to hate the national teacher. The national teacher can clearly hide, but he does not hide. The grievances and grievances of others are not easy to intervene. Kemo said to the national teacher: "Where are your scorpion-tailed snakes? Come on, let them bite me to death! Quick, give me a relief!"

The national teacher was thrown around by him like a rotten baby, and said sullenly: "Ki Mo, my snake doesn't listen to me anymore."

Ke Mo spat: "Why didn't I bite you to death!"

The national teacher whispered: "I'm sorry, Kemo."

Ke Mo said: "Do you really hate us so much?"

The national teacher shook his head. Kemo was even more angry, saying: "Then you will seek revenge for whoever you hate! You are the national teacher, whoever you want to kill, if you say something, I won't help you kill it?! Why are you colluding with others? harm us!"

The more he talked, the more he hated, and grabbed the national teacher's hair. Seeing that they were hitting harder and harder, and they were still beating unilaterally, Fuyao frowned, "What are they talking about? Do you want to go up and stop them?"

Xie Lian couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and grabbed the engraving, and said warmly: "General, I think there may be some things between you that haven't been made clear, so don't get excited."

Ke Mo said: "What's there to say? It couldn't be clearer!"

Xie Lian couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt that something important was missing. Suddenly, the national teacher grabbed his wrist.

This grab was abrupt, and he grabbed it tightly. Xie Lian's heart sank at first, thinking that she was going to take the opportunity to plot, but she didn't expect to bow her head again, the national teacher was lying on the ground, looking up at him, two black eyes staring at him, the corner of the mouth was a little blue, and the lips trembled slightly. . She clearly didn't speak, but she seemed to have a thousand words. This appearance coincided with a scene from a very long time in his memory.

Suddenly, Xie Lian blurted out: "It's you?"

The national teacher also trembled: "...General Hua?"

This coming and going, everyone at the bottom of the pit was stunned.

Fuyao stepped forward, knocked Kemo out, and said, "Do you know each other?"

Xie Lian has no time to answer him. He squatted down, grabbed the national teacher's shoulder, and looked at her face carefully.

It was so far apart that he couldn't really hit it. In addition, the girl's appearance has changed as she grew up. After more than two hundred years, for various reasons, he did not recognize the girl's face in the first place. But looking at it again at this moment, this face is clearly the same as remember it!

Xie Lian's heart was a little unbelievable, and he couldn't speak for a while. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Half a month?"

The national teacher suddenly grabbed his sleeve, the face that seemed to be very unhappy, suddenly had a strange breath, a little excited, and said: "It's me, General Hua, you, you. still remember me?"

Thanks for the pity: "Of course I remember you. But..."

He stared at the girl for a moment and sighed, "But, how did you make yourself like this."

Hearing what he said, the eyes of the national teacher suddenly filled with tears.

She whispered, "I'm sorry, Captain."

After saying this, she suddenly knelt down at him, her forehead pressed to the ground, and then she stopped getting up.

Xie Lian wanted to help her, but couldn't help her, but she was already in a turmoil, and finally rubbed her eyebrows, only to feel a splitting headache, and she didn't want to say anything. However, after these few sounds, it was the general and the lieutenant again, and it was already so obvious, how could others not hear it?

Fuyao was slightly stunned and said: "The captain? The general? You? How could this be?"

Thanks for the pity: "...I also want to ask, how can this happen."

He didn't answer directly, Saburo's eyes were heavy, and he didn't ask any further questions. Fuyao was still stunned: "Where is the general grave?"

Thanks for the pity: "My grave."

Fu Yao said, "Didn't you say that you came here two hundred years ago to collect rubbish?"

Xie pity looked at the black-clothed girl lying on the ground, and sighed again, saying: "This is really... it's hard to say."

About two hundred years ago, one day, Xie Lian planned to cross the Qinling Mountains and live in the south for a while. So he took the compass and went south. This way, he was depressed all the way. Why did he feel that the scenery on the road was not right? It should be lined with trees and densely populated, so how could it become more and more desolate? Walking and walking, he came to the Gobi, was blown by the strong wind, and ate a mouthful of sand. Only then did he realize that the compass he was holding had long since been broken, and the directions he pointed to on the way were all wrong!

There is no way to point in the wrong direction. In line with the idea of ​​"everyone is here, it's good to visit the desert scenery", thank you and continue to move forward, but, temporarily changed the destination to the northwest, and finally came all the way to the border. , and temporarily lived near Banyueguo.

Xie Lian said slowly: "In the beginning, I was really just collecting scraps around here. However, the border is difficult, turmoil is frequent, and there are often deserters, so the army will arbitrarily arrest people to recharge."

Saburo said: "You were forcibly caught in?"

Thanks for the pity: "It was arrested, but whatever you do is the same anyway, just be a soldier. Later, I drove out a few border robbers, and somehow I became a school captain. They gave me face and called me a general. ."

Fuyao asked again suspiciously, "Why did she call you General Hua?"

Xie Lian waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about that, I took a pseudonym at that time, it seems to be called Hua Xie."

Hearing this name, Saburo's expression moved slightly, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, not knowing what his expression was. Xie Lian didn't pay attention, and continued: "There are many wars at the border, and there are many orphans. When I have spare time, I occasionally play with them. One of them...the name is called Banyue."

He shook his head and said: "I thought that the word 'banyue' in 'banyue national teacher' refers to the country, but I didn't expect that the name of the real national teacher is called Banyue."

In my impression, the little girl named Banyue always had such a very unhappy expression, and her body and face were always bruised. When looking at him, she just looked up from the bottom like this. She can speak Chinese and plays with children of the same age in the Central Plains all day long. Xie Lian has never been able to figure out where she is from. Anyway, when he sees the child walking around, he will just take it with him. Kong Kong taught them to sing, wrestle, and occasionally perform a big boulder on the chest. Because this child is extremely thin and small, he takes extra care of him. If he has a piece of cake, his feelings are not bad.

Fuyao said, "What about later?"

Thanks for the pity: "Later... it was similar to what was said on the stone tablet of the general's tomb."

After a moment of silence, Saburo said: "The stone tablet says you are dead."

When mentioned that stone tablet, Xie Lian felt very depressed.

Shouldn’t the general inscriptions be made to extol the virtues and beautify the memorials? It’s okay to be derogated again and again, and it’s okay to be derogatory. When he read this passage, he couldn't look straight at it. If it wasn't for Saburo who read and understood Banyuewen, he would have pretended that there was no way to die on the monument. This thing is written, and he wants to laugh even when he sees it, how can he blame others for wanting to laugh when they see it? People go to his memorial tomb to take shelter from the wind and sand, and when they see his deeds on the stone tablet, they have to comment on it. , Haha laughed, he was too embarrassed to ask everyone not to laugh, it was really a little depressing.

Xie Lian felt that his eyebrows were almost rubbed red by him, and said: "Ah, that, of course, is not dead. I pretended to be dead."

Saburo didn't say a word, Fuyao looked in disbelief. Thanks for the pity: "After pretending to be dead, it was discarded as a corpse, and it was returned to the Central Plains, only to be raised for five or six years."

In fact, I don't remember exactly how Xie Lian "died", and I can't even remember exactly why the soldiers of the two countries fought in that battle. I only know that it was some very boring little thing, and he really didn't want it at all. Fighting, whether winning or losing, feels meaningless. However, at that time, he was beyond reproach, and no one listened to him. The two sides were jealous, and as soon as he rushed out, he saw this man on both sides, and both knives and swords suddenly greeted him. Although Xie Lian couldn't die in a hundred hits, he couldn't stand such a slashing method. He thought on the spot: "This is not good!" He hurriedly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. Stomped over. When he woke up, he was choked by water, because after cleaning up the battlefield, the bodies were thrown into the river. Xie pity just followed the river, and was washed back to the Central Plains like a piece of junk. Later, after recovering from the injury, he finally arrived in the south, the original target, so he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Banyueguo.

Banyue whispered again: "I'm sorry."

The author has something to say: I still prefer Hua Lian with the CP name!
