Heaven Gang Di Sha Ruyi Book

Zhang Sui and Lao Lu rode horses and walked slowly towards Kunzhou city.

The road leading to the city is wide and flat, with tall trees on both sides of the road, lush and green, the setting sun is projected onto the road through the branches and leaves, turning into mottled light spots of various shapes.

Zhang Sui rode on the horse and looked at the surrounding scenery. The scenery here is very different from that on the earth. The sun is two times larger than that on the earth, and the trees grow much taller. Those on the earth would grow for tens or hundreds of years. The thick and thick trees can grow in a few years in this world.

There is no such thing as deforestation in this world, because the growth is too fast, and every few years the government will organize manpower to clear and cut down the plants that threaten the road. This is also the rule left over from the era of Li Zhi thousands of years ago. Li Zhi There is a saying: "To get rich, build roads first!" Facts have proved that this sentence is indeed true. The officials in charge of the past dynasties have also regarded this sentence as a standard, and one of the most important points in the evaluation of officials is road construction. With the magical tool of cement, road construction has become an easy task now. As long as the foundation is solidified and cement is poured, a road can be formed in no time.

Zhang Sui looked at the old road who was riding a horse leisurely, and saw him humming an unknown tune, whipping the whip in his hand from time to time, making a crisp sound. Zhang Sui didn't pay attention at first, thinking that he was After driving the horses, I felt that something was wrong. After careful observation, I found that every time Lao Lu whipped his whip, he would shoot down a mosquito, and he never failed.

Zhang Sui couldn't help but praised: "Old Road, good work!"

Lao Lu smiled and said: "What kind of kung fu, it's just familiarity, just practice more when you have nothing to do. Er Ye, don't look at these little things that look harmless. In fact, the mosquitoes that can survive in late autumn are basically The fierce and poisonous ones, being bitten by these little things, will feel uncomfortable for several days."

Zhang Sui was very curious about Lao Lu's past, and asked, "Lao Lu, I haven't had a good chat with you for so long. Tell me your story, let me open my eyes."

Lao Lu smiled and said: "I have a story. I joined the army when I was young. I was in the army for more than 30 years. Later, when I became lame, I left the army and came back to take care of me. The patriarch took care of me and asked me to lead the son's horse. Just dawdling around and raising old age."

From Lao Lu's words, Zhang Sui learned that Lao Lu was actually the third son of a small farm manager in the Zhang family. He was quite brave and fierce when he was young. There were quite a few people, and then things got serious, and the government pursued them, and they wanted to accuse him of crimes. Fortunately, the Zhang family was still very righteous and spent a lot of money to calm down, but the old Lu couldn't stay in his hometown, so it was the Zhang family who helped make connections. , sent him to the barracks, and the incident was completely settled.I thought I would come back after a few years, but in the end, I caught up with a rebellion in the southwest. Lao Lu made some meritorious service on the battlefield, and was promoted to a small capital because of his meritorious service, so he stayed in the army. 30 years.Finally, he left the army due to injury and returned to his family.

Zhang Sui listened to what he said was simple, but he could also feel the difficulty of being in the army. As soon as he mentioned the battle with the barbarians in the southwest, Lao Lu seemed to be a different person, with a passionate expression, and he straightened his back involuntarily.

Lao Lu looked reminiscent, and said to Zhang Sui: "My lord, you don't know, those savages are all painted with oil, and in the southwest jungle, even if you walk past him, you can't find them. They, many brothers were bullied to get close and lost their lives directly."

As he spoke, he lifted up his robe, and saw a hideous scar extending from his right neck to his left chest, about a foot long. Looking at the wound, he knew that it was extremely dangerous.Lao Lu sighed: "If it wasn't for a brother who tried his best to knock the barbarian away, I would have been buried in the jungle."

When Lao Lu said this, he had a smirk on his face: "It's still our leader who is so powerful that he asked the logistics brothers to prepare a lot of black oil and burn it all the way to the barbarian's village. The barbarians cried and cried, if it wasn't for the black oil, it would be hard to get it." , the number is really limited, it is estimated that our boss will burn the entire black forest in the southwest, so that those barbarians have no place to hide."

Zhang Sui read about this period of history in the book. In the year 210 of the Yan Dynasty, 36 villages in the black forest area of ​​Southwest Jiannan Road were inexplicably killed from the black forest, and ravaged the twelve prefectures of Jiannan Road all the way. The current emperor of the dynasty was furious when he heard the news, and sent a general named Dong Qian to integrate all the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road. It took three years to kill 36 of the 34 villages, nearly 200 million people. Barbarians do not survive even one out of ten, so the corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed like rivers.The rest of the barbarians hid in the depths of the Black Forest, never daring to show their faces easily again.

Although the rebellion was quelled, the reason for the barbarian rebellion was not found in the end, and in the end it could only be explained that the barbarians had lost their minds. . . . . .

Lao Lu sighed: "Although the rebellion was eliminated in the end, our loss is not small. Those barbarians seem to be possessed by evil spirits. They are not afraid of death at all. If we didn't use fire to break the way, we would not know that we would die. How many brothers."

"Caught by an evil spirit?" Zhang Sui asked doubtfully.

Lao Lu nodded and said: "Yes, those barbarians have been dealing with us Han people for nearly a hundred years, and they still have some friendship, but they suddenly came out of the jungle, did not communicate, were unreasonable, and killed anyone they saw. At the beginning, our side still They sent envoys to communicate with their leader, but the leader was beheaded without seeing them, and then sent several waves of people with the same result."

"Didn't you catch any prisoners and ask the reason for the rebellion?" Zhang Sui asked doubtfully.

"How could it be possible that no captives were caught?" Lao Lu said with a wry smile, "It's useless, all of them have red eyes like rabbits, their expressions are crazy, and they are chanting some names frantically. strangled."

Thinking about such a scene, Zhang Sui really seemed to be bewitched.

Lao Lu looked around and said in a low voice: "Later, those brothers who knew the barbarian language said that the names those barbarians chanted were all the gods they worshiped, and they were all strange things, and none of them looked human!"

Zhang Sui's heart moved, and he asked, "Did you encounter any strange things when you were fighting those barbarians?"

"Strange thing?" Lao Lu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "That's not true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Lu suddenly said again: "It's not that there is nothing, there is a very strange thing."

Zhang Sui hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Lu said: "I remember that our commander led us to attack a large village. All the people in the village, young and old, committed suicide by jumping into a pool of blood when the village was about to be broken. After the village was captured, there were basically no As a living person, I will never forget that scene in my whole life."

"Blood pool?" Zhang Sui said.

"Yes, the pool was full of blood, and I don't know how many people died in it. There was also a statue of the insect god worshiped by their village soaked in it, and it made people's scalp tingle. Later, our leader asked someone to fill the blood pool , Burn the statue. The strange thing is that the statue, which was clearly carved from wood, was burned with black oil for a long time without burning it, and finally it was thrown into the tiankeng behind the stockade.”

Hearing this, Zhang Sui didn't make a sound, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Zhang Sui didn't continue to ask, Lao Lu calmed down and rode his horse silently, occasionally shooting down poisonous insects with the tip of his whip.

Birds and insects sang in the jungle on both sides of the road, and the sun was gradually setting. Lao Lu looked at the sky, lightly whipped the horse with a whip, and accelerated the speed back to the city.

Zhang Sui thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Old Lu, do you think there are ghosts and gods in this world?"

Lao Lu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I really don't know about this, anyway, I haven't seen it in my life." After speaking, he laughed.

Zhang Sui asked again, "Then do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Believe it, why don't you believe it!" Lao Lu said: "Although I have never seen it, I have worshiped many gods. In the army, we also have to worship gods."

"Worship God? Whom do you worship?" Zhang Sui asked.

The old road said: "The soldier must worship the military god Li Zhi, that is, the meritorious emperor."

Zhang Suiqi said: "Worship the founding emperor of the previous dynasty??"

The old road said: "Yes, this is the god that all our soldiers worship. It has nothing to do with whether he is the emperor or the emperor of which dynasty. Even the court sacrifices every year, and the meritorious emperor is ranked first. A sage who has blessed the ages."

Zhang Sui really didn't know these things. His understanding of the world was still limited to some historical books. It was more than 1000 years ago. He didn't expect that the public would have such a high opinion of Li Zhi.

Zhang Suidao: "Is there any effect of worshiping the emperor?"

Lao Lu said with a smile: "Please be at ease, you know, Lord Military God has been invincible and invincible in all his life in battle, and he has never even heard of being injured. Why don't you hope that the old man can bless us soldiers? Well."

"Besides," Lao Lu whispered with a thief, "It doesn't say in the book that he is over 80 years old, his body is still like a young man's, and he can have many daughters. There is no harm in praying to him more!"

Zhang Sui looked at the wretched old Lu with a speechless face. This old Lu is really old-hearted.

Zhang Sui saw that he couldn't find any other clues, so he waved his hand to Lao Lu and said, "Then you should pay more respects, old man. Maybe the old man, the military god, will show up and bless you with spring."

Lao Lu just smiled and said: "Then let me borrow my son's auspicious words, and I, Lao Lu, want to ask for a daughter-in-law to carry on the family. Haha!"

Zhang Sui was speechless for a while, and told Lao Lu to speed up, so as not to wait for the city gate to close and not be able to enter the city, which would be another troublesome matter.

The old road said yes again and again, waving his horsewhip, his speed increased sharply, and he drove towards Kunzhou City in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After running for about half an hour, the horses began to slow down, especially the variegated old horse that Lao Lu was riding, with steam coming from his nostrils, and he was very tired from the scene.

At this time, there were still about five or six miles away from Kunzhou City, so Zhang Sui and Lao Lu simply slowed down their horses and let the two horses slow down first. Anyway, they were not far from the Kunzhou City Gate, and it was time to close the city gate.

Just when Zhang Sui was about to ask Lao Lu about the method of body training among the army, especially the method of breathing.In the distance near the jungle came the faint sound of shouting, as if someone was fighting there.

The two looked at each other, and they urged the horses together to run towards that direction.
