Twilight War

"I'm leaving here."

Vichypel said suddenly.

The mountain behind the temple.

The clouds in the mountains changed, and the peach-eyed monk turned his head to look at him.

"Are you leaving again?"

"This is just my illusion, you should be clear." Wihipel said.

Looking at the floating clouds in the mountains, he somewhat understood why Yermungandr was trapped in his illusion for thousands of years.

If he could, he would rather spend his life on it.

Look at the fog in the morning and the clouds in the evening.

Watch that young man chanting sutras and meditating, watching him meditate in a daze.

He didn't need anything else, he didn't need to see the whitebait upstream, to see the first day at the Pole.

Just need that teenager.

Sink in the deep sea and sleep forever.

But he had to go because he had more important things to do.

"But I'm real." The boy said suddenly.

"This is an illusion."

"Maybe I am the reality in your illusion."

The young man put his hands together, he stood on the cliff, and the clouds in the sky and the earth changed.

"Have you seen Kunpeng in the clouds?" the young man said suddenly.

"What?" Vehipel asked.

"When I read the Nanhua Scriptures for the first time, I wondered what Kunpeng was looking for. If it wasn't for something, why did he fly here and there? Thousands of miles and tens of thousands of miles. , Flying so many times." The boy's voice was like a gust of wind, floating in the vast clouds.

"Mingling is five hundred years old, Dachun is three thousand years old. Kunpeng should have lived longer."

"What about you, what are you looking for?" The boy looked at him.

The Kunpeng is soaring, the world is one horse, and everything is one finger.

What are you looking for? You spent a hundred lifetimes of mortals walking in every corner of the world.

Wihipel did not answer the boy, but asked suddenly after a long time: "What is the kingdom of the dead after the door is closed?"

"There is fog everywhere, as if time doesn't even exist." The boy said.

Vehipel watched the clouds in the mountains turn into Kunpeng, "I will take you away."

"This is my promise." He looked at the boy, his blue eyes were like the sky of Asgard.

Even if you use it up for thousands of years, even if you give up everything.

"En." The young man nodded with a smile.

Dark corridor.

Brunhilde held his sword in despair and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

She thought it was the salvation that could save everything.

But she was wrong, no matter how many times she did it again, he could only watch those children die in front of her.

Bitten by a giant beast.

But she has to keep going, no matter how many times.

Whatever it takes.

She swung her long sword and killed all the ancient beasts that rushed towards her.

She is the Valkyrie of the Empire, and she promised them she would protect them.

She walked to the end of the corridor and watched the lights come on.

The frightened-eyed children looked up at her from their cages.

...don't look at me like that again.

she thought almost desperately.

But she finally said: "I will protect you, don't be afraid."

"The alien beasts have already invaded the Urn City." General Tanlang said.

The Wengcheng of Juyongguan is outside the main city wall.The alien beast passed the Wengcheng, and Juyongguan was not far from the city.

"The heavy artillery and arrow mounts on the main city wall have been in disrepair for a long time. Can Young Master Jin go to the Weng City to hold back those beasts first, so as to prevent them from attacking the main city. Let's repair the heavy artillery and arrow mounts on the city wall." General Greedy Wolf asked.

"Shouldn't these things have been repaired a long time ago? It's been such a long time since the disaster of the alien beast." Zichen frowned.

"The frontier army is short of people, and there are even fewer people who know how to repair these things. We have been able to survive until now." General Tanlang said.

"Okay." Zichen nodded, "I will drag the strange beast as far as possible in the Urn City."

Zichen picked up the sword on the table and walked out the door.

"Master Jin, you don't know that, sooner or later, the Huangxuan family will...?" General Tanlang asked suddenly.

"I know, I know the consequences of what I do." Zichen looked at the sky in the city.

"Then you...!" General Tanlang looked at the boy's back.

"Because this is the Great Wall, and it is my last retreat. Beyond that is the Guannei Plain, with thousands of acres of fertile land, and there is no danger to defend. Every inch we defend, the land will be covered with charcoal and scorched earth. The Huangxuan family has already retreated once. Jinling. We can no longer retreat."

He is already a person who has committed a crime, so how dare he spare himself.

The boy looked at the temple on the towering cloud platform, the little monk was still ringing the bell.

Bells rang throughout the city.

"Li Chengsi, do you think I'm a hero?" General Tanlang suddenly asked the lieutenant beside him.

"The general has guarded the border for decades alone. He has never filled his own pockets. He treats the army like brothers. All the frontier soldiers respect the general." The deputy general said every word seriously.

General Tanlang suddenly chuckled almost mockingly, "You know, in order to leave Juyongguan, I once wrapped 800 taels of silver for Li Xiangfu."

The three gates leading to the Wengcheng slowly opened.

The young man clenched the sword in his hand and rushed towards the strange beast in the urn.

Lushen Xinyi stood beside him, holding two swords, wearing a bamboo hat, and wearing black clothes like ink.

They shuttled among the herd of alien beasts, their swords overturned.

Like two daggers, they kept chopping down ferocious beasts.

The girl's movements are light and beautiful, as flexible as wicker.

The long legs wrapped in black cloth leaped among the beasts, and a row of darts with hidden weapons hung on the leather belt.

They are weapons raised for Zichen.

Although their swords will eventually pierce their masters, this does not hinder their sharpness.

A strange beast suddenly rushed towards Xin Yi from the wall of Wengcheng.

Lu Shen immediately threw the dart backwards.

The corpse of the giant beast fell into the city.

Xin Yi immediately jumped up, looked at Lu Shen and nodded with a smile.

Outside the Urn City.

General Tanlang looked inside the urn, "You can really do what you promised me."

"This is not my promise, it's from the Holy Majesty." General Lu Cun said with a smile, "Don't worry, when the Northern Sacrifice is over, the general will return to Chang'an as a hero."

General Tanlang glanced at General Lu Cun, the scars across his eyebrows looked a little scary.

"What the general wants is to leave a name in history, and to be famous after success?" General Lu Cun said: "This remote northern region is indeed too small, and the general's talents are wasted. He is really a hero. The general just made a mistake in standing in line for a while , was punished to such a place for decades, it is too unfair."

"This is the life of the whole city..." General Tanlang said.

"Yes, but a million soldiers are no match for a famous general." General Lu Cun said: "In the future, it will only be written in history books that the young master of the Huangxuan family, Huangxuanjin, colluded with Xilu, causing tens of thousands of officers and people on the Great Wall to be killed." But General Tanlang alone led tens of thousands of frontier troops to kill alien beasts, defended Juyong Pass, and guarded the prosperity and peace of this world.”

"I'm going to see Xiao Zhen, so General Tanlang can see this beautiful scenery alone."

General Lu Cun rode away, lowered his head and told the attendants, "You stay here, but watch them, and leave the second door behind if necessary."

General Tanlang looked into the urn city.

"Heroes should not have a woman's benevolent heart." He said: "The so-called heroes should be in troubled times, turning their hands like clouds and rain..."

Zichen looked up and saw that the heavy artillery and arrow mounts on the city wall had been set up.

"They should have repaired the heavy artillery and arrow mounts, and we can leave Urn City."

Lushen Xinyi beheaded the strange beast beside him, and then jumped down beside Zichen.

The black ribbon tied around the waist flutters.Just as Zichen turned around, he saw the three giant gates suddenly fall down.

He stared at the falling giant door in amazement.

The giant cannon on the city wall began to bombard the inside of the urn.

Xin Yi immediately picked up Zichen who was stunned on the horse, and jumped onto an altar in the Wengcheng.

There is a heavy bronze tripod on the altar. The girl jumped on the bronze tripod and raised her hand to throw a dart.

The artillerymen on the wall clutched their chests and fell slowly.

In fact, Xin Yi has been with Zichen for a long time, even earlier than Lu Shen.

She is very smart and learns sword very quickly, much faster than Lu Shen.

But ever since Si Xuerou told her about her responsibility as a ghost, she didn't want to touch the sword again.

She said that she was just a maid beside the young master who shared tea and water.

Si Xuerou can drive her out, or kill her.

She doesn't know how to use a sword, she can't learn it.

Si Xuerou didn't force her.

But she finally took up the sword.

Although fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, even though he didn't care at all.

But she still practiced the sword.

Just because the woman told her that your sword can kill him, but it can also save him.

Blood splashed on the face of the girl under the bamboo hat.

Xin Yi pulled out the long sword from the body of the strange beast.

There was no expression on her pretty face.

In fact, she still doesn't like practicing swords...

After all... Her sword will eventually face her young master.

If she practiced less, it seemed that the boy would have more chance of surviving.

Although it may cost more people to die, including hers.

She and Lu Shen are both practicing swords with this idea.

Although Lu Shen was far more decisive than her.

"We've been fucked." Xin Yi said, blood flowed from the wound on her shoulder, she was so fast just now, she just killed several beasts in a split second, so that she didn't even know when she got hurt , even the pain came slowly.

"Even General Tanlang participated in the Northern Festival?" Zichen said.

"Probably so." Lu Shen nodded, she also suffered a lot of wounds, blood was dripping from countless wounds on her close-fitting black clothes.

The burning sackcloth ball was thrown from the city wall, and it burned instantly after being stained with the blood of a strange beast.

There are burning flames and smoke everywhere.

"You can't stay here for long." Lu Shen gritted her teeth and said.

"But it's difficult to climb up." Xin Yi said, looking at the city wall in the middle of the urn.

"Do you know how the strange beast crawled into the Great Wall?" Lu Shen asked.

—stepping on piles of corpses.

In the burning flames, three people dragged the corpse of the giant beast and piled it up a steep slope beside the low wall.

The blood of the strange beast was hot and sticky.

The air was hot and stale, and every breath was painful.

Zichen dragged Xin Yi up the pile of corpses. Her shoulder was injured and she couldn't use her strength.

There are two floors in the Wengcheng. The door inside has not been sealed, but there are already many strange beasts.

"Looks like we're going to kill again." Zichen said while looking into the wall.

Lushen Xinyi jumped off the city wall, and Zichen followed behind them.

The girl ran forward like a bird, but the gate of the inner city also slowly fell down...

"No!"

Xin Yi yelled almost in despair.

Suddenly, the most central gate stopped falling.

The bear-like man gritted his teeth and propped up the heavy giant door. General Tanlang raised his head and looked at Zichen, "Son Huangxuan, don't forget, you still owe me a pot of Huadiao wine from Jinling!"

The veins on the man's neck bulged.

Zichen jumped over the herd of beasts and ran out of the city, "Thank you..."

He turned around and looked at General Tanlang who was still holding the giant door, "General, you..."

General Greedy Wolf smiled almost heroically, "Born in the world, and died in the world, where in this world is not a tomb of heroes!"

"That pot of Huadiao wine, remember to bring it to see me on Huangquan Road!"

He laughed wildly, lifted the giant door suddenly, and walked into the urn city alone.

Hero... what is a hero?

He still remembers that he told his husband at home that year that he didn't want to study, he was going to fight, a big battle with tens of thousands of people, and he wanted to be a hero.To leave a name in history, to become famous!

In the end, he was beaten up by his father, saying that a big battle with 10 people is not so easy to fight, and it will cause millions of casualties.

"So what, they died for me and I will remember them!" he said at the time.

But in the end, he has never fought a big battle with tens of thousands of people. Once he made a mistake in standing in line, he was dispatched to a remote place to guard the already dilapidated Great Wall.

He was depressed and wanted to leave this place.

But his father, who was handicapped in legs and feet, traveled thousands of miles and came to Juyongguan from Guanzhong.

On the Great Wall, his father looked at the mighty mountains and rivers in the pass and said to him: "My son is a hero."

"My son will guard the millions of people in Guanzhong. My heart is at ease."

The gate of the urn city could no longer be raised. General Tanlang pulled up the chain next to the gate, threw it on the arrow rest on the city wall, and then pulled the iron chain to climb up step by step.

He gritted his teeth and jumped onto the city wall, looking at the burning flames and ferocious beasts in the urn.

"Son Huangxuan, if I have to be born in troubled times to meet a hero like you, then it's not in vain for me to be born in troubled times."

He suddenly jumped off the city wall and drew out the Mo Dao behind him.

Mo Dao slashed and killed the ferocious beast, blood spattered on the man's face.

Heroes will die in troubled times, and heroes are human too.

Those strange beasts were biting the man's body, and he roared angrily: "I am Donghuang Greedy Wolf General! Who dares to commit crimes!"

He gritted his teeth tightly and walked up to the altar step by step.

Strange characters were written in red cinnabar on the huge bronze tripod.

That is the sacrificial text in the Shang Dynasty, living people as sacrifices, offering sacrifices to gods and ghosts.

He tried his best to lift the huge bronze tripod and threw it down the altar.

The sound of the bronze tripod falling to the ground was like a huge thunder.

He fell to his knees.

Vision becomes blurred.

"I, Zhu Zhenming, proclaim myself the hero of heaven and earth!"

The man's body fell to the ground.The altar was stained red with blood.

His name has only one line in the history books.

——In the 38th year of Changgeng, Zhu Zhenming, the corrupt wolf general, died in Juyongguan and died with the city.
