Twilight War

Chapter 54 Great Wall Bone Burial

With my flesh and blood ferocious, guard my Great Wall from falling down.

01

Burning fire and fog, cold and silent.

Zichen walked in the vast barrenness. He didn't know how long he walked until he saw a huge door hidden in the mist.

There are no boundaries.

No up, no down, no left or right.

A huge world tree is carved on the huge gate.

"Are you coming?"

The voice seemed to come from inside the door, sad and distant.He tried his best to open the door, but it was all in vain.

Finally, the huge door opened a gap...

Zichen woke up suddenly and realized that he was still in Juyongguan in Mobei.

He got up from the floor and sat on the ground as if in a daze.

"Young Master." Xiang Liu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Where's Lu Shu?" Zichen asked.

"Lu Shu...hasn't come back." Xiang Liu gritted his teeth and said, they all understood what it meant to not come back.

Zichen nodded.

"Send all the people out of the city. If there is no place to go, they will be placed on the side of the daughter peak first. Just say what I mean, it will be useless even if General Tanlang and General Lucun stop you." Said: "Whoever dares to stop, I will break his legs myself."

"Also, escort Princess Yingluo back to Chang'an, don't wait for the Northern Sacrifice to be over, just now." Zichen took a sip from a pot of sweet potato shochu beside his bed.

He frowned, the wine was really not very tasty.

"Yes." Xiang Liu said, he stood there and took a few glances at the boy who looked up and drank sweet potato burnt.

"Xiangliu." The boy suddenly called out.

"Your Majesty is here."

"Are you ready to die with the city?"

The white swallow's suit on the boy's body slipped from his neck as the boy raised his head. He is like a sad withered leaf butterfly in a prison. He is not attached to life, but he will never succumb to death.

After Xiang Liu left, Zichen ran to the corner and tore off the rag that had been covering the wooden frame. The cloth had long been stained red by the blood of the strange beast.

Under the rags was the head of a giant beast, rotting away, but strangely, there was no smell.

Zichen came over to stare at this hideous and weird head these days when he had nothing to do.

It felt like looking at an old friend who was a bit ugly.

Now he can even drink sweet potato burn while looking at the giant beast's head.

"Hey, actually, you don't want to come here, do you?" Zichen chatted with the strange beast as if he was bored.

"However, I have to kill you if you come here. There is no need to discuss this matter." Zichen said a bit rascally: "Although you and I don't want to, but who made me Huangxuanjin, the burden on everyone is very heavy , understand each other."

"This world is really strange. The emperor doesn't guard the country, but wants me to come here." Zichen offered a glass of wine to the strange beast, "Just keep it, who will let it be our turn."

He looked at the strange beast, and suddenly frowned. A few drops of blood dripped on the ground by the strange beast turned into the color of mercury, which looked like... the silver of the great abyss.

He stained a little blood with his finger and took a slight sniff.

Zichen dug out the flint in the house and hit sparks on the blood.

The flames burst!

Rags thrown carelessly on the wooden frame burned along the wooden frame.

In a blink of an eye, only ashes remained.

Just as Zichen was about to realize something, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of pushing the door.

"Young master, Princess Yingluo refuses to leave," Xiang Liu said.

"I won't leave. It's impossible for me to leave until the Northern Sacrifice is over." Princess Yingluo sat upright in the curtain, looking decisively at the dead soldiers of the Huangxuan family.

"Young Master Jin said to let His Highness leave immediately, and we must not wait for the end of the Northern Festival."

"I won't leave. If he doesn't leave, I will never leave." Long Yingluo said almost stubbornly.

"Well, why don't you just stay with me in Mobei for the rest of your life, Your Highness?" the young man leaned against the door and said.

The light in the room was dim, the young man was standing against the light, his peach blossom eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was looking at Long Yingluo, but it was very indifferent.

Peach blossom eyes, affectionate eyes.The most affectionate but also cold.

"Brother Jin." Long Yingluo looked at the young man who was standing there without knowing when.

"Your Highness, I don't have time to play with you." Zichen stepped over the threshold and looked up at Long Yingluo.

"I want you to go with me. If you don't go, I won't go." Long Yingluo's eyes were very pale, as if ink had melted in ice water and would dissipate at any moment.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Zichen moved closer to the girl and said softly, "If you just want to be my woman, fine, you can do it anytime. But if you want me to marry you, Your Highness, it's impossible. "

"I don't know how much you participated in and how much you know about the North Festival, but you'd better get out of here as soon as possible."

Long Yingluo was stunned, but not because of the boy's words.

The young man has a blood-rust aura.

She looked at the young man's shoulder, the dark red robe was soaked with blood from the bandage.

"Okay, I'll leave." The girl looked at the boy's wound almost sadly.

"Young master wants to use fire to attack, isn't it crazy? Now it is the north wind, if the fire enters the city, will you stop the fire? How can you afford to ruin the North Festival?" General Lu Cun sat in the chief seat, and said to Zichen almost scoldingly.

"When the fire started, I didn't intend to stop it." Zichen said indifferently, "I will live and die with this city, the general doesn't even have this awareness?"

"Young master, let me remind you. To the saint, this Juyongguan is just a small border town. It is no pity to lose it. The saint is still the master of the world. But if the North Festival is not handled properly, it is nothing... "

"It doesn't matter." Zichen looked at General Lu Cun and said, "It doesn't matter to me what this city is to a saint. I swear to guard the mountains and rivers, and I will never retreat a step. Unless my Huangxuan family fights until there is no one." If a man can pick up a sword, I will never retreat."

"Okay, so what kind of fire attack is used? The Great Wall is so high, the rocket will be extinguished before it hits the ground. And now the ground is covered with snow, so the fire can't start at all." General Lu Cun laughed.

"The shells and fuel in the warehouse are almost useless. Do you want our army to burn all the clothes to attack? Then pour a few catties of sweet potatoes on fire, the young master thinks well."

"Silver from the Great Abyss." Zichen looked at General Lu Cun and said.

"what?"

"That's Kuafu's blood. The blood of those strange beasts...is Kuafu's blood." Zichen pursed his lips. After all, even he thought it was a bit ridiculous.

"Hahahaha, Huangxuanjin, are you dreaming?" General Lu Cun said with a smile, "Then I would rather believe that the bones of those strange beasts are all gold!"

Zichen took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured the liquid on the table, and lit it with a candle.

The mercury-like liquid instantly ignited.

"Who knows what's in your place? How can you prove that it's the blood of a strange beast?" General Lu Cun said disdainfully.

Suddenly, there was a heavy creaking sound from the wooden corridor floor.

Several people turned their heads and saw that at the end of the corridor, a huge and weird figure was walking towards here step by step.

General Lu Cun drew his sword instantly.

"and many more."

Zichen raised his hand, and he saw clearly the figure at the end of the corridor. It was a thin girl walking step by step against a huge strange beast.

The blood of the strange beast dripped down the girl's body.

Xin Yi threw the heavy beast in front of several people, and the blood gradually smeared on the ground.

She pulled the metal candle lamp beside her and threw it directly on the pool of blood.

The flames burst!

All the people looked at the burning flame almost in astonishment.

"Kuafu's blood? This... is Kuafu's blood?" General Tanlang said almost in disbelief.

And the girl just wiped the blood off her face.

……

Zichen and the girl walked out of the main hall, and everyone in the main hall still couldn't believe what they saw.

The Kuafu's blood buried underground was actually the blood of a strange beast.

The second half of the meeting was thus dominated almost entirely by the teenagers.

"I never asked you to do that." Zichen said, but he didn't hear the girl's answer.

He turned around, and the girl was shaking while holding on to the railing.

"What's wrong?" He supported the girl.

"Young master, what are those...?" The girl who had been as hard as steel just now collapsed in the boy's arms, "Kua Fu's blood... What exactly is it that we have been using all this time?"

The fuel that dominates the entire steam machinery revolution is known as flowing silver, which is more precious than gold.

Everyone thought that it was nothing more than ore, but now they understand that this kind of thing is simply... blood.

The blood of the alien beast flowed into the machine.

Blood that can burn.

For nearly a century, we have been stepping on such things in an attempt to reach the gods.

"Don't think about it." Zichen hugged the trembling girl in his arms, "No matter what it is, we must step on it and move forward."

The wind blew across Mobei, and black strange beasts surrounded the city like a colony of ants.

Fu Zhu looked at the herd of beasts below the city. He didn't even dare to look down a few days ago, but now that he has seen too much, it feels like that.

"Have you heard? It is said that Kuafu's blood flows from the body of these strange beasts." He leaned against the female wall and asked Zhao Yiming, who was tuning the bowstring beside him.

"I heard." The man raised his bow and studied the bow.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"It's good to be able to survive, I think so much." Zhao Yiming said indifferently: "My rooster has laid eggs, what's wrong."

"Aren't you going? All the people in the city have been sent away." Fu Zhu asked.

"I have to guard the bones of my ancestors." Zhao Yiming chuckled.

"kindness?"

"The bones of my ancestors are buried under the Great Wall. Several generations of my ancestors were brought here to repair the Great Wall, but they didn't come back alive in the end. They must be buried under the Great Wall." The man's tone seemed to be It's like saying that my ancestors were sheep herders, with a bit of the open-mindedness and heroism of the Northland.

"My ancestors built the Great Wall with flesh and blood, so I have to defend it with flesh and blood." He patted the crumbling brick and stone city wall.

"Others pay respects to graves during Qingming, but I worship the Great Wall during Qingming."

"If I die, if I bury my bones in the north of the Great Wall, I will kill the eternal enemy together with you."

Zhao Yiming suddenly jumped onto the female wall and sang loudly in the wind in Mobei.

"If I die, if my bones are buried in the south of the Great Wall, I will see the peaceful world with you."

……

"The Great Wall is long, ninety thousand miles."

Feng Zhong didn't know who then shouted twice.

The sackcloth ball soaked in fuel was ignited on the city wall, and everyone threw the burning sackcloth ball down the iron sheet.

The fire burns all over the country, and smoke rises from the Great Wall in March.

This fire is burning, but I don't know when it will stop.

The burning sackcloth balls were thrown down one by one.

The fire under the city wall grew stronger and stronger.

"The Great Wall is [-] miles long. There are people under the Great Wall."

"Bricks and stones are built by people, and flesh and blood make bricks, blood and mud."

Those bloody dirges when the Great Wall was built a hundred years ago are chanted by today's people as trackers.

Surrounded by alien beasts, they are already the last defenders of the city.

All the people were sent out, and they understood what it meant.

They will live and die with the Great Wall.

If I die, if I bury my bones!
