[Bottle Evil Colleague] Ink Dawn

Around 260 BC, the Qin State took advantage of the wars in all directions to expand eastward. After defeating South Korea, it pointed the finger at Zhao State.

Those who have studied the historical "Battle of Changping" will more or less know that among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period at that time, only Zhao State could compete with Qin in terms of national power and military strength.

In modern times, according to the records in many historical books and unofficial histories, everyone has already believed that the reason why Qin was able to make such a construction in the end was because of their absolute strength.But we heard an explanation from Wu Chen that was different from the written explanation, and this explanation was narrated by the person concerned, so we have no choice but to believe it.

"When we attacked Zhao, our Great Qin was not as powerful as you think."

Wu Chen recalled:

"In Qin State at that time, the number of people was not too large, and not all the people were soldiers. But when the king raised troops from the county, no one would deliberately avoid it out of selfishness.

"The soldiers of Zhao State can get a full set of equipment and military pay from the state. But when I joined the army, the rations and travel expenses were all collected by my family. The weapons used in the war were forged iron and copper by myself, and then I learned from the blacksmith in the village. It was all done by yourself. In that era, the common people could not afford horses, and they had to walk from their villages to the army to report.

"However, in the villages passing by on the way, as long as the residents hear that you are going to join the army and know that you are going to the front line to support, then they will definitely bring out the best things at home to entertain you and provide accommodation for free."

Speaking of this, Wu Chen's expression showed a hint of arrogance, and he continued: "Not only that, at the time of the decisive battle, the king personally rushed to Hanoi County, bestowed a first rank on all the county residents, and ordered all boys over the age of 15 in the county Ding Quan went out to support the front line of Changping and blocked Zhao's reinforcements. The besieged Zhao army could not get aid. After being trapped for 46 days, they were unable to fight any more due to injuries, illnesses and starvation, so they had to surrender. Cooperating with Wang's countermeasures, we can use less There were many battles, and the 40 strong soldiers of Zhao State were trapped! However, because Qin State did not have many elite soldiers and generals in that battle, and the supply of equipment and rations was not timely, more than half of them were killed or injured..."

Wu Chen sighed and looked up at us:

"After the war, in order to suppress the 40 innocent souls of the Zhao army who died tragically, the king asked the king to order all the sacrificed warriors of Daqin to be buried in a mountain pass not far from the Zhao army.

"Originally everything ended here. But the dead souls did not rest here. Without anyone knowing, the corpses of these soldiers changed. They stood up unconsciously one by one, and followed their instincts to interact with each other. Fighting, the dead body that was killed again will provide the victor with greater strength.

"This is a process of sublimation in killing, just like the so-called 'evolution' in nature. Even, we have evolved consciousness and wisdom.

"As time went by, the number of this batch of living dead gradually decreased, and they were divided into four factions. In each faction, a strongest appeared, devouring everyone in the faction. In the end, hundreds of thousands of corpses were fighting There are only four left, and I am one of them."

My pupils shrank, secretly startled.Since the beginning of this story, I have always had the feeling of listening to mythology, and I also feel that I am awesome. After all, others want to understand the things of that era only through the few words in the history textbook, and what I listened directly is what the person involved said personally. version without deviation.However, in terms of rationality or common sense, the truth still makes me a little hard to believe.

"Of the remaining three, one is obviously stronger. He devoured the other two. I can't beat him at all. But basically, the corpses I devoured are almost all martyrs of the Qin army, so my His mind is like that of an ordinary soldier of the Qin army, and he even retains some mixed memories of his life... and that person devoured all the innocent souls of Zhao Jun, which can be said to represent Zhao Guo."

As he said that, Wu Chen sneered:

"They, Zhao Jun, died a lot of people back then, and they were extremely humiliated and humiliated. After death, they turned out to be unfavorable to me, Great Qin Yinghun. It's ridiculous to say that the feng shui has changed. I can't beat him, and I don't want to be swallowed up by someone who was Zhao Jun when he was alive. So he escaped from the corpse pit in embarrassment, traveled all the way, collected some little ghosts near this Fengshui Shangdi, and then slowly built a city and settled down here.

"The army in Qin Rong City was not set up to guard against the living, but to guard against 'him'. There are some tricks that are effective for the dead and used on the living, but the effect is too bad. Otherwise, you think it's so easy. Can you take down my city that I have painstakingly managed for many years?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, I still understand who wins and loses. In fact, I have always had a hunch that I am half human and half ghost now, and if I can swallow one of the other three, then maybe I can become a ghost." Back to a real human being. Unfortunately, for so many years, I have been concentrating on cultivating and wanting to be a good person, but after all, I couldn’t achieve my wish, so I gradually gave up. These things in the city gradually imitated me, trying to pretend to be real people, thinking Make me happy, I am bored when I am free, so I educate them and become what they are today.

"Sometimes, I also think that I am not considered alive or dead. What is the meaning of existence for a half-human, half-ghost like me? I thought about it for a long time, and felt that maybe it was just to be "him" Devour him and make him a god. I don't want to follow this fate."

In a sense, Wu Chen is somewhat similar to Poker-Face, both unwilling to succumb to fate and make their life deviate from the original track.Maybe that's one of the reasons he let us in.

His attitude is obvious, he can't ask for it, and he can't let others ask for it, so he decided to give up resistance and let us kill him.This is also a disguised struggle against one's own destiny, and it just fulfills us smoothly.

"...I can tell that you are not his lackeys. Especially you..."

Poker bottle was stared at by Wu Chen, raised his head silently, and looked at him indifferently for a few seconds, Wu Chen frowned, turned his eyes away first, and said softly, "I always feel that you are a little different , Maybe it's because I don't have enough realm, so I can't tell. You have a certain kind of aura on your body, which is very different from ordinary people... Hmm... Have you ever been to any special place? Maybe you were targeted by some powerful character The one next to me seems to be in trouble because of you... Huh, anyway, I, the mud bodhisattva, can't protect myself when I cross the river, so I can't care about it, you two can only wish for yourselves."

In a hurry, I took out the replacement stone from the collar around my neck and said:

"Is it related to this?"

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to hold it for a closer look, but was blocked by the Poker bottle. He sneered and said, "I probably know why you want me. Those brats outside, Each one can give you a few hours of life at most, don't think about how much I can give you, this kind of exchange is not fair. As for how long it can be delayed..."

He glanced at the substitute stone again, the expression on his face was very strange, I couldn't read his thoughts, I just felt uneasy.

"A few months, God knows. But I think...it will definitely not exceed half a year."
