step by step

If it is really Wangxiang Terrace, many years later Shi Sang and others will go to the underworld, stand on the Wangxiang Terrace, and watch the memories of this life flow by like a horse, and the most shocking ones are the experiences in this Floating Light City.

The young soldiers said that these soldiers can still have food to pad their stomachs.At that time, Sora and the others didn't realize the difference between padding their stomachs and filling their stomachs.But when they really stepped into the Floating Light City, they realized how much they would have to pay to still have food to pad their stomachs in this living cage.

Pedestrians roam the streets like walking dead, and the streets are full of desperate victims.The parents who lost their love were sad and weeping, but then, the poor child's body was replaced with another one; the sallow and emaciated orphan was dying in the corner of the wall, and several passers-by behind him stared at his dying figure.Under the shadow of death, the people here have completely lost their own nature.

Su Gewen and the others looked at this living hell in shock, speechless in horror.Even Shi Sang and Kong Zhu frowned slightly at this bloody scene.

It was during this moment of absent-minded pause that a skinny and beautiful woman suddenly passed through the guards beside them and rushed up, grabbed Su Gewen's calf, kowtowed and said, "Master, Uncle, I beg you, Uncle, let me stay with you for one night, please give me some food. Uncle, Uncle, I only need a little food. I will accompany you all night. I don’t want more. Really As long as you have a little grain is enough, a little grain..."

The woman's cries were crying blood, and those who heard it were moved.Su Gewen grabbed the woman's arm helplessly, trying to pull her away.But after hesitating for a while, seeing the miserable appearance of the woman, he still couldn't calm down.He could only look at Kongzhu and Shisang blankly, hoping they could give him an idea.

Shi Sang didn't speak, and followed his gaze to look at Kong Zhu, but he didn't know what she was thinking, and was in a daze.Her emotions were extraordinarily complicated, with all kinds of emotions lingering, revealing a hint of sharp coldness.Shi Sang's heart trembled suddenly, this place seemed to remind Kong Zhu of some dark memories, her mood at the moment was completely immersed in that unknown past.This kind of her was not at all like the one she knew.Such a emptiness full of darkness and indifference should not be the emptiness she likes.

Kong Zhu opened his mouth lightly, and ordered the soldiers at the side: "Don't you pull her away?"

The soldiers quickly came back to their senses and hurried forward.But I don't know if the woman broke out because of her strong desire to survive, the two big men couldn't break her palm at all.The woman's voice became even more stern: "Master! Mister! I beg you, Mister! Please give me a way to survive! Mister! I really only need a little food, and I won't cause you too much trouble." ! Grandpa, I am willing to use my own body in exchange! Grandpa!"

Her arm was almost broken by two men, but she still didn't let go.Pain gradually appeared on Su Gewen's face.At this moment, Shi Sang keenly felt a hint of impatience in Kong Zhu's expression, and her next actions shocked her even more.

Without saying a word, Kong Zhu pulled out the saber from a soldier's waist, and slashed at the woman's arm.The woman was frightened by her sudden attack, and at the very moment, she almost let go of her hands without thinking.

No one would want to die. Under such circumstances, those who can still struggle to survive have a strong desire to survive in their hearts.Kong Zhu's blow landed in the empty space, and she glanced coldly at the woman's frightened face, but there was still no emotion on her face.The movement she swung the knife to slash just now didn't have a trace of sluggishness, if the woman was one step late, there would be an extra pair of bloody arms on the ground.

Kong Zhu returned the sword to the soldier.The others hurriedly threw the woman out of their encirclement.After seeing Kong Zhu's ruthless methods, he no longer dares to dereliction of duty because of distraction.

A group of people continued to walk forward, as long as the people who saw the scene just now could not help giving way to them.Shi Sang couldn't help approaching Kong Zhu, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhu, are you alright?"

Kong Zhu said without looking back, "What can I do?"

Shi Sang didn't ask any more questions.Since entering the Floating Light City, Kong Zhu has always seemed very strange.Before coming here, through the natal contract, she could easily feel Kong Zhu's mood swings.But now all she could feel was peace.Endless peace.

Yes, it is calm.There is no pity for the poor people here, no disgust for the behavior of Yizi Ershi, and no anger at what Emperor Dachang did.In this kind of atmosphere, even Shi Sang couldn't control her emotions a little bit, but Kong Wu was different, her calm made her feel a little scared.

The sound of fighting on the city wall gradually weakened, and the leading soldier sent a soldier to check the situation. After a while, the man came back, and said cautiously: "My lord, the fighting ahead has stopped, and the enemy has retreated again. The others are hurrying to rest, the next wave of attacks will be carried out in about two hours, and the general has already returned to the general's mansion."

"Is the enemy attacking the city very regular?" Kong Zhu asked suddenly.

The soldiers said fearfully, "My lord. For more than a month, during the day, the enemy army attacked the city every two hours, and at night, the enemy army attacked the city every three hours. At the beginning, everyone couldn't figure it out. Clearing up the connection among them, we are in a hurry to deal with it. But after so many days, everyone has gotten used to it. When the enemy army is not attacking the city, they should take the time to take a good rest to store their energy for the next wave of attack."

"What the hell is the enemy?" Su Gewen interjected.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, with a terrified look on his face, he stammered: "My lord, my subordinates dare not speak nonsense..."

"It's the skeleton of the exiled land." Kong Zhu said, her eyes turned to the general, and a strange light flowed in her light gray eyes.She clearly felt the fear, surprise, uneasiness, anxiety and despair in this soldier's heart.

His wife and son are still at home waiting for him to return home, and his elderly parents are still praying for him day and night. How could he die here?But can Floating Light City be saved?The Floating Light City will soon be destroyed, and will no longer exist.All of them here will become poor creatures like those things, without thoughts, minds, and souls, just a walking skeleton.Just thinking about it is unbearable.

These days, those skeleton armies have broken through the city gate several times, killing wantonly.However, at the end of an hour, they will return to the land of exile.He didn't understand, what was the point of their doing this?If these skeletons are being manipulated, what is the manipulating them trying to do?He wants power, he wants Dachang's land, why not simply send them to attack there?He could see clearly that Dachang's stragglers would not be the generals of the skeleton army who didn't need food, let alone pain.

At the end of every battle, they don't need to bury the dead, they just need to save the dying and heal the wounded.He had also been on the battlefield before being transferred to the North City Gate, and he knew that as long as the dead were preserved, no matter how they were preserved, even if they were buried underground, the corpse would rot quickly.After becoming completely bones, the empty eyes will be rekindled, and the white joints will hold the long-lost weapon.Use blood to wake up your sanity, break through the city gate, and return to your companions.

What kind of feeling does it feel when the weapon of the former partner passes through the body?Do you feel hopeless?Time seemed to freeze completely in an instant, as the cold and sharp foreign objects pierced into the body little by little, cutting through the flesh and blood, scarlet light bloomed in front of his eyes, and severe pain swept through the brain, destroying all consciousness.

After he recovered from his injuries, the general called him over, looked at him deeply, and at the end, just patted him on the shoulder.He didn't say anything, but he knew clearly that he wanted to transfer him away from the battlefield.The general handed over the brightest and most promising boys under him to his hands.Seeing his acquaintances die on the battlefield one by one, and then become enemies again, while he was idling by, it really made him feel worse than death.But the general's heavy trust, he can't afford to live up to it!

He was looking forward to the city break day and night, and only by taking advantage of the chaos of the city break, would he have the opportunity to escape from the battlefield with these boys.They are still young, and their future has great possibilities.They shouldn't have died fighting for the damn emperor.not worth it!

He was transferred to the north city wall, and there were constantly desperate people crying and cursing under the city gate, begging him to let them out and save their lives. They promised to keep their mouths shut and not spread nonsense everywhere. This shocking news.But... But the emperor's order is hard to break. Although they were abandoned, they hated the emperor deeply, but their relatives still survived under the emperor's rule.

Often the crying became smaller and smaller in the middle of the night, and in the early morning of the second day, only the stiff corpse could be seen.Before long, not even the body was to be seen.

Perhaps for the people in these cities, death is the best relief.Death, or perhaps another way of rebirth?It's just a pity for these 20 brothers, the poor and chaotic Floating Light City will become the seat of their heroic souls, and even the corpses will not be safe after death.

Kong Zhu let out a deep breath, her face was terribly pale, and she looked extremely tired.After reading so many memories of one person in a short period of time, even she couldn't take it anymore.Shi Sang and the others tacitly guessed what she had just done, seeing that her weak body was a little unsteady, Shi Sang raised his hand to support her, turned around and said to the unaware general in front of him : "Since the war is over, we won't go to the south. The general must be resting now, so let's not bother him for the time being. Our group has been rushing all the way for more than ten days. Can you find us a friend first?" A place to rest?"

The general quickly responded, and said: "In this case, then I will arrange for a few adults to rest at the posthouse first. The enemy army will not be able to break through Fuguang City for a while. After the general rests, the subordinate will report to the general. Report the news of the arrival of several adults."

There was a special room arranged in the post house, and half of the group of soldiers left, leaving four guarding the door to prevent people from making trouble.Knowing that Kong Zhu had something to say, the others wisely stayed in Kong Zhu's room, Shi Sang helped Kong Zhu sit down on the bed, and let her body lean against him.Kong Zhu closed his eyes, looking extremely tired, and let her move.

She rested for a long time before she regained her strength. Behind the strange mind-reading skills, there was also a huge consumption hidden.She called everyone together, and said with a serious expression: "I tell everyone a bad news, our ominous premonition has come true."

"It's really..." Su Gewen said in disbelief.Shi Sang frowned slightly, and some worry appeared on Xing Kong's face.

Shi Sang analyzed: "This news can be hidden from outsiders, but it cannot be hidden from the inside of the thirteen cities that are also blocked. Presumably when the incident first appeared, before the emperor had time to block the news, there were already many floating cities. The people fled. Calculated according to the time, even the fastest scouts could only escape to Luonan City at most during that time. Therefore, the emperor's blockade was not just for Floating Light City. It was for ten cities including Luonan City. Three cities. The news hasn’t spread yet, most of the people who fled from Floating Light City must have been secretly sent by the emperor to deal with them. As for Zuo Guangyao in Luonan City..."

Speaking of this, Shi Sang paused for a moment before saying: "The old guy must know some inside information, but he should not be sure whether the news is true or not. I can see that he originally wanted to attack us, but he gave up somehow later. It should be because he knows our purpose and has seen with his own eyes that we have the ability to reach the Floating Light City, so he wants us to scout for him, right?"

"That old guy is very scheming, but if he wants to plot against us, we will naturally reciprocate and return him a big gift." Kong Zhu squinted his eyes and said coldly: "The current situation in Floating Light City is not as good as that. What the soldiers said is so serious, and those guys who are neither humans nor ghosts have no intention of killing them all. It seems that they are just trying to consume a little bit of power to defend the city. To control hundreds of thousands of skeletons at the same time, there must be a large number of necromancers. There will be a small number of them, and the pressure on their side should not be small. Over the years, the mainland has never heard of them at all, and they hide quite deeply."

"Forbearance for so many years must have a big conspiracy. Not everyone can bear it for tens of millions of years. In ancient times, the power of the necromancer line was not much worse than our prophet lineage. " Shi Sang said.

After hearing Kong Zhu mention that familiar name last time, she has been thinking about this ancient survivor.She remembered that her father mentioned it to her before, and said that this family had not appeared on the mainland for many years, and she wondered if it had continued.At that time, she only mentioned a few words, so she didn't pay attention to it at the time, and the impression was not deep.After thinking about it thoroughly, I found that memory in my mind: "Since the current situation is as you said, and we still have a lot of time, what should we do?"

Kong Zhu frowned and said, "To be honest, I don't know what's going on, but I feel extremely disgusted with these shady rats."

Shi Sang chuckled: "You acted so calm just now, I thought you really didn't feel anything?"

Kong Zhu said coldly: "For such an existence, as long as a normal person would not like it, okay? There are endless wars ahead, so let's take this opportunity to find out where they are hiding and find out their hidden purpose. Then Make other plans."
