laughing soul

When he was tinkering with He Lingyu at the sub-station of the Huadu Arsenal, Qiu Sheng had followed her to toss with this mess, so he had some understanding of these things.He stood and dangled on the tree with the soldiers for a while, squinted his eyes for a long time with his clairvoyance, and finally saw that there was something wrong with the soldiers and horses leading the army on the opposite side.

Among the many ordnance affairs in the arsenal, He Lingyu is best at making copper and iron dummies and developing new armors. Under her influence, Qiu Sheng naturally dabbles in this.However, the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With his half-bottle bang level, his half-blind bad eyes are almost completely blind, and then he gradually noticed something was wrong.

The hundreds of soldiers standing on the other side of the bridge, although they stood straight on the pole, made small friction sounds from the junctions of the joints all the time. If you didn't listen carefully, you might just think it was the sound of the iron tools in your hands colliding with each other. Very human, but extremely easy to ignore.

Qiu Sheng took his eyes away from the clairvoyance for a moment, turned his head to signal the soldiers to hold their breath, and rubbed the corners of his eyes to relax. After calming down, he aimed at the two small holes again, aiming at the thin junction of the enemy's armored legs. look.

If someone is unintentional, it is naturally difficult to detect the abnormality. While observing, Qiu Sheng secretly admired Shaman Chuanmu's technique of making copper and iron dummy. Even the talented He Lingyu has never made such an exquisite object in the army of Qi's subordinates.

Each joint of the dummy is ingeniously connected in one place through soft cushions, which are closely connected but can be rotated at multiple angles, making it so vivid that it is almost the same as a real person.Only the face made of copper and iron can be said to be the only flaw, and the armor that was smashed to cover the face was blurred, but there is no flaw.Looking at them from such a distance, they couldn't see the thin threads between the hundreds of copper and iron dummies at all. They really thought they were well-trained and strong soldiers of the army.

Qiu Sheng gritted her teeth hard, waved her hand back to order her followers to stay, raised her arm to grab a long vine that was lying in front of her eyes, kicked her hind legs on the tree trunk, and wobbled to a place that was closer to her. Standing still on an ancient tree, he was about to move his clairvoyance to his eyes and look for the thread carefully, but he just looked at the eyepiece, and saw a copper and iron dummy turning his head stiffly, and the picture drawn on the mask A pair of bright red lips smiled strangely, and two slender eyes slowly glowed eeriely.

It was like seeing him.

Qiu Sheng said inwardly that it was not good, raised his hand and swayed around, and then lightly fell to the ground. The whole process was only a short moment, but all the copper and iron dummies on the opposite side let out a deafening roar at once, which seemed to be a huge army. Leaning forward in a moment, it can't be just the movement that some puppets on strings can make.

Isn't it a copper and iron dummy at all?

Qiu Sheng greeted his subordinates who were still waiting for the news on the tree, and rode on Xue Qianli, then withdrew and left, ignoring the powerful roar behind him, Jun Xindan was too hot to cover in his arms, but after thinking about it, he finally did not The fire flew away, and he whistled at the bridge guards who were frightened by the earth-shattering noise, and said loudly: "The other party is cheating! Don't act rashly!"

The commotion was really astonishing. It didn't take long for Han Jianhua to lead a group of people and ran over at full speed. The two stood at the head of the bridge, looking coldly at the other side across the gloomy bridge deck.This small bridge is not very long, but when it was designed and built, it was made into an extremely curved arch by someone, only its sound was heard but no one was seen, and it was impossible to know who the ghost that was screaming and tsunami was. Not a living person.

The soldiers guarding the bridge wanted to light up the lanterns, but because of Qiu Sheng's order, they didn't dare to act casually. They hid in the darkness and couldn't see their fingers. They heard the roar gradually dissipate in strength and weakness until they reached the opposite side. Returning to silence, these countless hearts not only did not calm down, but became even more uneasy.

At least one can know the direction by hearing the sound, and now these gang of niggers don't even bother to make a sound, and even hide in the dark and do whatever they want.

Han Jianhua turned his head to look at Qiu Sheng and said in a low voice, "Don't you know something? Tell me, what the hell are these things?"

Qiu Sheng frowned and said: "If you want to ask He Lingyu specifically, I'm just guessing. I always thought that these people were not living people, and they should be similar to the copper and iron dummies she made, relying on copper wires to pull them. If it moves properly and is well-made, it can also behave like an ordinary person. But the roar is definitely not something that a dummy can make, and there is no sound-generating device at all."

Han Jianhua: "Is it possible that a real person roared elsewhere, making you mistakenly think that the sound was made by a dummy?"

"I'm still confident that I won't make this mistake. The source of the sound, the timing, etc. are exactly the same. My hiding place is still clever and concealed, so that they won't be caught by a rabbit, not to mention that thing turns its head to look at me, mother. Yes..." Qiu Sheng bit the raised dead skin on her lips, and stared viciously at the darkness opposite, "I almost fell off the tree in fright."

"..." Han Jianhua said in embarrassment, "They are so brave when they find someone next to them, and then look at you, Qiu Zizhan, you are so cowardly, it's a good thing that Mr. Chu really likes you."

The emotional atmosphere on the battlefield is extremely tense. The soldiers standing on the battlefield often sit upright and dare not speak loudly because of the situation.In a highly tense atmosphere, it is easy to make mistakes. In order to prevent this from happening, the two invented a not-so-smart trick to solve this kind of problem, which is to interject and tease each other so that Keep your nervous thinking in a state of extreme concentration and excitement.

In the past, Qiu Sheng, who had a three-inch tongue, was usually responsible for teasing and amusing, but today this person frequently showed his feet, which gave Han Jianhua a lot of advantages.

However, the title of Huadu hooligan old fritters is not for nothing. Qiu Sheng was only slightly startled for a moment when he heard the words, and then he raised his eyebrows and smiled and said: "If I go to the west to see the Tathagata Buddha, I'm not sure that Ah Yu will run to find him." Pretty girl, let the uncle and I still have no peace under the nine springs. This thing must be prevented before it happens. If this shitty thing comes true, wouldn’t the crimes that the uncle suffered in this half of his life be all in vain? It’s a life in the world , Isn’t it just wasting time in vain?”

There was still a change on the other side, he frowned and looked out through the clairvoyance, and slowly filled in the second half of the sentence without forgetting to beat: "Death is not a big deal, if Ah Yu is willing to accompany me, it is worth the sword and fire." gone."

Han Jianhua: "..." He seemed to smell a strong sour smell. As an honorable military officer who is still a bachelor after his age, this smell really makes him dare not compliment him.

He squinted and stared at Qiu Sheng silently for a while, but the instigator didn't realize it. This person seemed to have been deeply enmeshed in the enemy's situation and couldn't draw his attention. With that serious and focused expression, it was hard to believe that the person who just said those nonsense was he.

No matter how many years have passed, Han Jianhua is still amazed at Qiu Sheng's ability to change his mind quickly.

That kind of demeanor and elegance that seems to take nothing to heart, yet reveals a sense of caring and caring from far and near in a trance, from the perspective of Han Jianhua's not so broad and prominent vision, it is so shameless to do so wildly. Uncle Qiu is the only one who leaves no trace.

The old hooligan stared at the pair of clairvoyant lenses, his brows gradually frowned more tightly, he reached out and grabbed Han Jianhua's light armor and pulled it: "Come and see, I don't think I can handle this matter, I have to do it from here." He Lingyu was invited over from Wisconsin. Look at these ingenious structures. They have no strings at all. I have no idea how they work, including the secret passages in them... My guesses are useless. Waiting to write a letter to the other end and instructing Wang Deng to send the person back."

Han Jianhua was swayed by him, and he almost fell on him when he couldn't stabilize himself. He quickly supported a wooden pole beside him, and avoided the clairvoyance that Qiu Sheng pushed over with his head: "I don't understand this thing , you just look busy. What are you going to do tomorrow night? When will Miss He come?"

Qiu Sheng held his right hand tightly and suddenly released it. He squinted his eyes and looked at the menacing enemy army on the opposite side, and sighed softly.

The distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and no matter how fast He Lingyu came, it would be seven or eight days later, and the current situation is far from a state that can be postponed until then.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, seven or eight days is enough to turn the world upside down, and there is no need to delay.

Qiu Sheng intertwined his hands together, clenched it tightly and then slowly loosened it, then loosened it and then tightened it slowly. This went on and on three or four times, and finally opened his eyes and said loudly: "Send the letter, tomorrow night at midnight." To attack the other side, no matter what, we must take the lead.”

Han Jianhua nodded and accepted the order, called the guards to assemble the whole army, and ordered the military division to discuss tactics together. Qiu Sheng withdrew his command account first, wrote an urgent military report and handed it to Tomatodan for delivery. hair.

Now and there, Tianyuan Temple in Xiangshui.

After all the hard work, he finally found his target in a pile of old books piled up in the corner. It took the boss a lot of effort to translate the ancient Chinese word by word. Big Wood slowly recuperated his body, exhausting his mind and mind like never before. Who would have expected that this person miraculously did not lose weight at all with such a method of consumption.

Chu Yu had been in a compulsive coma after losing blood for a long time, until later, Jing Ran only thought that she had adopted a little baby who couldn't speak or move here, and served her best without asking for anything in return.But there are always a lot of accidents these years. The day after he deciphered the entire ancient book, Chu Yu, who had been lying in bed for several months, woke up faintly as if he had a feeling in the dark.

He hadn't opened his eyes for many days, and on the first day of junior high school, he felt a severe burning pain when he was stimulated by the strong light. Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw Master Jingran standing in front of him with a shocked face through his dense eyelashes.

He still had a calm and natural expression on his face, but there were faint traces of "stunned" in the corners of his brows and eyes, which showed that this person was probably completely shocked.

It's impolite to always squint to see people, Chu Yu casually found a long cloth to cover his eyes lightly, tied it behind his head into a knot, and smiled at Jing Ran through the curtain: How long have you been sleeping?"

The astonishment on Jing Ran's face flashed away, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to his usual indifferent expression, put the medicine bowl in front of Chu Yu and said, "No matter what important things you have, you must be honest here right now. Really stay for a month or two. It is what previous appointments you have with people, judging from the time you have missed right now, these days are negligible."

Chu Yu propped up the mattress and forced himself to sit up. After such a sudden change of position, a sharp and sharp pain came from his temple. Gritting her teeth and covering her head fiercely, she calmed down for a while before she recovered, and slowly recalled: "How long have I been asleep?"

"You can still wake up, the poor monk is so admired." Jing Ran folded Chu Yu's hands that were shaking back and forth, and then personally took a small spoon to feed him the medicine, "It's been half a year, August [-] I told you to sleep peacefully, now it’s snowing outside the window, and the New Year’s Eve is over.”

Chu Yu swallowed hard the medicine he had just held under the base of his tongue, before he spit it out: "Half a year? New Year's Eve already passed?"

Seeing this unbelievable wound about to get up from the bed recklessly, Jing Ran looked at it normally for a while, and saw that this person was still like a stubborn donkey who did not intend to give up when he struggled for half a cup of tea. Finally he couldn't stand it anymore, he blocked Chu Yu's thin and skinny shoulders, and with just a light push, he successfully put him back on the bed: "Does the pavilion master not know that your body is not suitable for the battlefield at the moment? Is it? Going is tantamount to dying, don't you know?"

Chu Yu had been making a fuss for a long time, sweating profusely this morning, and lying on the soft bed, he could only breathe violently to calm down.He stared straight at the bed curtain for a while, then said softly: "If I don't go, what should he do?"

Jing Ran: "Pavilion Master."

His voice sank, and a unique majesty of Buddhism spread out soundlessly. Chu Yu abandoned the nothing to see on the top of the bed and turned his gaze to him.

"There are three thousand love relationships in this world, so it's inconvenient for a poor monk to comment on them if he doesn't understand them. It's just the pavilion master, have you ever understood what happened before your Majesty?" Seeing that Chu Yu shook his head honestly and sincerely, Jing Ran bowed slowly With a bow, he continued, "Your Majesty has studied martial arts and military art with the old general Han of the South Day Camp since he was a child. His skills are not uncommon. He joined the army at the age of 13 and served as the commander-in-chief and led his subordinates to victory in the first battle. Military achievements, at the age of 15, he personally led the fire army to fight against the enemy. He was so brave that he was known as the "Fourth Master of the Thousand Army". At the age of 16, he could not bear the troubles of the secular people, and single-handedly ran through Huadu. The deputy station of the arsenal, for a while, Huadu's relatives only knew that there was King Nanxiao in the world, but the emperor was far away, and he didn't want to pay homage to the late emperor."

What he said was earnest, and his affection was far-reaching. Even though his inner strength was deep and his breath was stable, he still couldn't help panting a few times. Looking at Chu Yu's pale side face facing him, he said softly: "George Lord, please forgive the poor monk for speaking bluntly, if you go to the Nandaying battlefield alone with your broken limbs, it will not serve any purpose other than to hinder His Majesty at this critical juncture."

Perhaps ordinary people will only think that this is Jingran's advice not to go, but the speaker has no intention of listening, so Chu Yu half straightened up with a chuckle: "Master, since it is not safe to be alone, you plan to send How many soldiers and horses will you give to Chu?"

Jing Ran smiled and nodded: "Monks do not violate the precept of killing."

Chu Yu bent down to return the salute: "I wonder if Master can answer Chu's question."

His eyes were fixed on his calm pupils, and the unspoken words were self-evident.

Kill one person and stop the killing, or just watch this person slaughter all the people in the world, if all four are empty and a monk, which way do you choose?

Jing Ran folded her hands and looked at him quietly for a moment, and after a long while, she finally turned around and bowed deeply to a Tathagata Buddha statue in the room.

My Buddha is merciful.

When he turned around again, his face was once again replaced by an indifferent look of forgetting both favor and disgrace. When he met Chu Yu's almost recalcitrant gaze, he just smiled lightly: "Under the world, the family and the country go first. Tianyuan Temple Born and raised in the territory of Dayue, he will swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death. If there is no murderous intention, this time is just to redeem the evil thoughts and sins of the world...Pavilion Master," he met Chu Yu's eyes openly, "I hope that on the battlefield , you can still be firm in your heart, and stick to one end. Never forget where this body is and why your mind is persistent."

The war lasts until the end, and the most inescapable rut will often be formed in the pool of blood. They leave with passion and resentment, thinking that they will bring justice to the enemy to make them realize the reality, but in fact, they gradually lose themselves in it along with themselves. Only the undying hatred filled his heart, but he completely forgot why he was fighting.

Chu Yu let out a long sigh of relief, fell back on the bed again, and grinned at the gray-white bed curtain: "It's easy to say."

It has been four days in a blink of an eye, Chu Yu wanted to set off immediately with the thousand bald donkeys carefully selected by Jing Ran, but after thinking about it, he remembered the original purpose of his trip, and hurriedly dragged Jing Ran to ask the dead soul The technique of detachment is the ultimate solution.So the old man took advantage of the loophole and prevaricated him with the words "the ancient books are complicated and difficult to understand, and it might be fruitful if you give it another three to five days", knowing that this is a plan to keep him here again After resting for a few days, even though he was burning with anxiety, Chu Yu couldn't bear to expose it after all.

The two places seem to have different situations in time. Although the monks of Tianyuan Temple are well aware of the upcoming battle, they have been tempered by the long-term life of fasting and reciting Buddha, and they are not too anxious.From the surface, it seemed that Chu Yu was the only one who couldn't calm down, and three or five days was just a snap of his fingers, and it was just a fleeting moment.

But far away in the camp of the Northwest Army in Weizhou, Wang Deng wished he could split the time of a stick of incense into two halves. He only felt that he was not so frightened when he was fighting with Ratu Deng Qi.

He knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, so he was particularly worried that he missed the best time, and the shaman Chuanmu had the upper hand. The noble Qiu, who was as precious as a golden man, was still in the whirlpool and couldn't get out. He took He Lingyu away, And worried that the remnants of Beili who hadn't been killed would make a comeback.All kinds of untimely ideas almost flooded his mind, and he felt a buzzing in his temples, and when he saw the military letter written by Qiu Sheng with a big stroke of his pen, he almost fell to his knees on the ground.

He Lingyu quickly grabbed him by the arm: "General Wang, I can handle this situation alone. The northern border is still not safe and peaceful. You just stay and guard the border with General Gao and General Qi."

Wang Deng was stunned, and after realizing it, he said, "Then you..."

"I know a little bit of martial arts, and the little thief is not too much of a problem. If you are really worried, just send a small group of soldiers to follow. You should stay and watch."

He obviously didn't say a word, but the people in front of him saw his thoughts clearly.Wang Deng blushed with embarrassment, scratched his hair, thought for a while, raised his head and said, "I will send you my team of pre-tent soldiers, and I will ensure your safe return no matter what."

Return.

This word is too ambiguous, not to mention that after Qiu Sheng and his son Chu's shameless nurturing, He Lingyu is no longer a pure and good girl who doesn't know the wind and moon. Blush cheeks.

At this moment, Wang Deng finally realized that his words were inappropriate, and was about to say a few words of defense, but he only smelled a fading fragrance of saponins, and the thin woman left in a hurry.
