Chapter 387 Lord, are you going to betray me?(1/2)
The Red Clay Buddha Cliff is located three kilometers away from Weishahe Town. However, the locals do not want to call it the Red Clay Buddha Cliff. Instead, they call it the Wu Cliff in a vague way. It is said that the name "Red Clay Buddha Cliff" represents in the minds of the locals
Unknown and taboo.
It is said that there was a war in Weishahe Town more than ten years ago. At that time, both the enemy and the enemy suffered numerous casualties and the blood flowed into the river. The Weishahe River and the yellow land were dyed red. After that, disasters never come singly, and another outbreak broke out in the town.
The epidemic was so severe that the people in Weihe Town thought they could no longer survive.
But at this time, a group of foreigners came to the town. They carried a kind of mystery and profundity about them, and looked like experts from outside the world.
This group of foreigners didn't care about the cholera situation in their town. They stopped here when they passed by. When they left, they left a line of words on the table. The words were written with neither pen nor ink. They were written with fingers.
The veins pressed out by force.
The red earth is evil, the town of ten thousand Buddhas.
At first, everyone was confused and thought they had met an expert. Later, some people felt something strange and asked. Only then did they realize that if they want to save the people of Weishahe Town, they can only use good to suppress evil, and drop the Ten Thousand Buddha statues from the mist cliff into the Weishahe River.
Only by suppressing the evil ghost who died near the Weisha River can he survive.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and frightened. They discussed and decided over and over again that they would rather believe that it was true than believe that it was not true. Now they were desperate and had nothing to worry about in order to survive.
So in the following days and nights, the young and old in Weishahe Town spent all their money to hire masons from the surrounding areas, and they all gathered together to complete the Ten Thousand Buddha sculptures.
Finally, after all the statues of Ten Thousand Buddhas were thrown into the Weishahe River, a miracle really happened. The epidemic in Weishahe Town was gradually brought under control, and those who were lingering on the sickbed slowly recovered.
After this incident was learned by people in the surrounding villages and towns, it was spread from one person to another, and the former fog cliff was also given a new name, Red Clay Buddha Cliff.
However, the people in Weishahe Town are not willing to call it that, and still call it Wuya. They are even more secretive about what happened back then and do not want to mention it. Even the road to Wuya has been blocked by them with rocks to prevent people from visiting it.
Go up.
He also claimed to the people in Weishahe Town that there were evil wolves on the fog cliff, especially when there was thick fog in the mountains. If someone mistakenly entered the fog cliff, there would be no return, so other people were afraid of the evil wolf and did not dare to
Let’s find out what’s going on at the foggy cliff.
However, outsiders are not as shy about things in Wuya as the people around here. I saw a group of about a hundred men on the Weisha River bank walking on the muddy road. The sky was gloomy and cloudy. It had just rained.
The trees were hanging down and the river was turbid. Although they were wearing bamboo hats and raincoats, their feet were covered with mud. Now that the rain had stopped, the clothes dripping with water rolled down and merged with the sweat on their faces, making it difficult to distinguish them.
Is it sweat or rain that falls?
"Lord, let's take a rest first. This road is muddy and difficult to navigate. It is said that the beggar has just entered Weishahe Town. I am afraid he will have to stay all night." Yuan Ping wiped the sweat from his head and shouted to the front.
road.
"Bi Huo" is a code name, representing the people from Chu State who went to Luoyang.
Although it was already winter and the weather was cold, they were trudging all the way and did not dare to relax for even a moment, but they were exhausted and sweating all over.
The King of Qi Tianwen in front was dressed the same as everyone else, except that he smeared a layer of black paint on his face to tone down his aristocratic fair skin. His eyes were sinister and charming, and his face was cold and carved under the bamboo hat.
Hard: "What if your guess is wrong? No need to rest, keep moving forward."
Yuan Ping pulled out his foot that sank into the yellow mud as soon as he stopped. He wanted to persuade her again, but was pulled back by Su Fang behind him. He was also covered in sweat, his eyes were blue, and he looked very tired.
Su Fang shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't need to persuade him anymore.
When Yuan Ping saw that King Qi had turned his head and continued to lead the way, he sighed "Ai".
Su Fang also glanced at the back of King Qi who was walking forward indifferently, and patted Yuan Ping on the shoulder instead: "Let's go, meet Wei Yan and the others first, and then drive a while. I believe the lord can still hold on."
Yuan Ping stepped on the mud hard, scratched his neck irritably, and couldn't help but said: "Prime Minister, you think it would be great if Huanxian was still here, and she could persuade the lord..."
Su Fang's expression suddenly changed. He interrupted Yuan Ping with a sneer, and said in a suppressed voice: "Stop saying these unpleasant things, especially in front of the lord, and leave quickly."
Seeing Su Fang burying his head in cold expression and walking along without paying attention to anyone, Yuan Ping was extremely angry, but he did not dare to shout loudly and disturb the people in front of him. He gritted his teeth and muttered: "My lord is like this, and you are like this too, you...
…”
——
Due to the special period, they did not warm up by the fire after nightfall. The cold wind on the rainy night was biting, and the freezing water on their clothes turned into frost. Everyone gathered under a washed-out rock to rest and ate a cold meal.
Drops of water fell down, forming a curtain of water, and the surrounding area was cold and dark.
When everyone was a little drowsy, the rain stopped pattering like hair, but the two men, King Qi and Su Fang, who were not yet sleepy, found something rustling in the forest, making a subtle sound.
the sound of.
"Wake up, there's movement!" Su Fang shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something in the dark.
As a man who was on the march and fighting, he naturally did not dare to sleep soundly. When he heard the sound, he woke up with horror. He subconsciously grabbed the weapon beside him and kicked his legs to get up.
There seemed to be a flash of green light in the quiet forest of Heisen. Someone suddenly thought that there seemed to be a wolf in the mist cliff, and screamed: "Yes, it's a wolf!"
This sound suddenly made everyone's chills deepen. They stood up stiffly, their faces turning blue, and their eyes were looking around.
"No, it can't be. Doesn't it say that wolves come out only when it's foggy?"
"Don't people outside say that the presence of wolves in Wuya is all made up by people from Weishahe Town? None of them have seen it. We wouldn't be so unlucky to encounter it right away..."
The people below were whispering, but their tone was uneasy.
Yuan Ping immediately lit a fire with the hay on the ground and threw it into the forest. The flash of light illuminated a corner and then fell into the rain and went out.
But Yuan Ping had already seen it clearly in that brief glance.
"My lord, it's a wolf!" Yuan Ping took a breath of air and said with an ugly face: "And there are more than one..."
Su Fang didn't know whether it was because of the cold rain or the chill in his heart that he trembled, and said calmly: "Wolves are afraid of fire, so please light it up quickly."
Because it was a wet and cold rainy night, they couldn't find anything to start a fire for a while, so some of them pulled out a half-dry raincoat and burned it. Then they hurriedly found some wood and withered grass in the corner to build a fire. After a while, the surroundings became brighter, but like this
The light of the spark did not drive away the wolves.
Yuan Ping's heart was beating rapidly, and he said: "Throw the fire directly in and drive them away!"
Su Fang frowned and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Hold on, the fire is too small to be a deterrent. If you do this, I'm afraid it will anger them and make them attack in advance."
"What should we do?" Yuan Ping asked him.
At this time, King Qi Tian Wen said: "Put on the bow and shoot!"
Su Fang's eyes widened and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "My lord, that's not right. If we can't wipe out the wolves in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will provoke their endless pursuit, and then hundreds of us will probably suffer heavy losses."
Coupled with the unpredictable darkness and the maze-like forest, I'm afraid they simply won't be able to cope with the relentless wolf pack.
"But if they wait for them to gather their companions, the situation will probably be even worse than now." Tian Wen's eyes were like a sharp knife unsheathed, and he made a decisive decision: "The archer is behind, first throw fire to scare the wolf out, and then fight to open a hole.
, can’t look back.”
Seeing that King Qi had made up his mind, Su Fang, even though he was sweating with anxiety, did not object anymore, because he also understood that if he waited for the wolves to gather, it would be too late for them to run away.
"Throw into fire!"
Suddenly, a group of black shadows flashed past. It was the wolves coming out. Probably hearing the noise from their side, the wolves became restless and rushed in advance.
"shoot!"
Arrows flew out, and the wolves chased and bit. The Qi army grabbed their swords and rushed into the wolves, slashing and stabbing them. What followed was endless slaughter, and the fishy wind was raging.
"Uh-huh - protect the lord!" Yuan Ping's arm was bitten by a wolf. The wolf pressed its palms against his arm, and he slashed it with his big palm. When its head tilted, the knife spurted blood and quickly
One end was solved.
As the corpses of wolves fell to the ground, more and more Qi Jun fell with bloody flesh. Su Fang did not know Wu, so he was protected by someone and retreated. In the chaos, he looked at the body bathed in blood.
The red-eyed lord who had been killed shouted in pain: "Lord, leave quickly!"
Hearing Su Fang's shouts, the people around Tian Wen woke up and immediately dragged him away with both hands, not letting him stay in the fight.
The forest was so dark that even the wind was still. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. A group of people were running exhausted, and the black shadow behind them was like a whip, and they were chasing after them in a flash.
"You take my lord and leave quickly, I will lead the wolf away!"
One person stopped and the rest continued to run away.
He didn't know how long he had been running. Tian Wen couldn't care less about the pain in his legs. He had just used his entourage to distract the wolves and dispersed them one by one. Now he was the only one left.
It was difficult to distinguish things in the forest at night, so he could only move forward based on intuition and instinct. At this time, there was a howl of wolves beside him, as if they were making friends, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Until a black shadow jumped out of the tree and rushed towards his back. Tian Wen turned sideways, sweat dripping from his forehead. He stabbed the sword hard into its abdomen, and hot blood flowed on his hand with a strong fishy smell.
, but his eyes were extremely cold, like the moon reflected in the cold soul.
However, it was not over yet. He was still walking through the forest. As the blood in his legs continued to flow, Tian Wen felt cold and tired, but he could not rest for a moment because there were still an unknown number of wolves behind him.
Chasing relentlessly.
The forest was very big, but it had an end. After passing through the darkness and dullness in the forest, his eyes lit up. At this time, the faint moonlight shone on Tian Wen's eyes, and his pupils froze for a moment.
Looking carefully, in front of him... there is a cliff and a dead end.
He had no way out.
He turned around and put the tip of his sword on the ground. He was panting like an ox, but the wolves from behind were pressing hard. Their front paws fell to the ground, their fangs exposed, and they let out threatening low howls at him.
"Ha..." Tian Wen sneered, his red lips raised, and his purple eyes filled with violence.
"I was forced to this point by a group of beasts. If she knew about it, she would definitely laugh at me..."
Stimulated by the blood on his body, the wolves were already agitated. They rushed towards him without hesitation. Tian Wen immediately faced him. His long sword blew away large pieces of flesh and blood like an autumn wind. Blood splashed everywhere and bloomed on the ground.
A bunch of tea flowers.
