Chapter 25 Chapter 3 Gentle Night

Under the gentle sunshine of Chuyang, we left the camp and went up the river. I rode Feixue, and Cairou rode in together, while Dahei walked ahead of us, acknowledging the honor of the master, Dahei received all the welcome and grand hospitality in the Sun Warrior, and he was full of food, My whole stomach swelled up, and when I walked up, I swayed it, so it was very cumbersome. Niya walked at the forefront of the group, deliberately avoiding me. The long team, guarding cart after cart of supplies, walked slowly in the beautiful wilderness of the Pure Land. According to Hou Yu, at this speed, it would take 13 days at the fastest to arrive at Fragrance City. It will take another 15 days to reach Lishibao, one of the eight guard cities outside Tianmiao.

This speed is unbearable for me, tonight I must discuss a solution with Niya, a pure land beauty who pretends to be indifferent to me. Lingzhi patted his horse and came to me, and said with a slight smile: "Our horses are riding on the green field between the Piaoxiang and Tianmeng rivers. It is very famous in the pure land, and it is rich in spotted deer horned cattle and wild horses." Cairou asked curiously: Piaoxiang Tianmeng, what a beautiful name! Lingzhi smiled kindly, and said in a tone teaching her little daughter: Piaoxiang and Tianmeng are two of the eighteen brightest fixed stars in the sky, embedded in the sky like two bright pearls.

Cairou was elated, and exclaimed happily: Tonight, priest, you must teach me to identify the two bright pearls in the sky!At the end, I unconsciously looked up at the sky, and my expression was so cute that I had the urge to hold her in my arms and love her wantonly. I looked up to the sky with her, and saw a large cloud moving in the distance ahead, and sighed: I'm afraid I won't be able to see a single star tonight. Lingzhi smiled confidently: Don't worry!In addition to deer, cows and horses, the green field is most famous for the wild horse rain, which means that it comes and goes like a herd of wild horses.

The light of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: You have to see the scene of tens of thousands of wild horses running wildly in the wilderness to know how it makes people's blood boil! I thought of the tragic scene of the deer crossing the river, and my heart twitched. Am I too weak, even animals make my heart soft? In the final analysis, the difference between man and beast lies in the difference in life form, and there is no difference in essence. It was not until dusk that day that they set up camp to rest. What Lingzhi said was right, after a few wild horse rains, the sky returned to clear, the weather was neither cold nor dry, and the wind from the field was really refreshing.

Cairou came to me holding the food. I looked behind Cairou and wondered: Where did that bastard go?He casually took the food from Cairou, picked it up and ate it. Cairou laughed and said: Dahei has been selected as the most popular bastard in the barracks, he only cares about enjoying the food offered to him and being petted, and he refuses to come back even if I call him. I shook my head and sighed: A dog is a dog after all, I thought our boss, Da Hei, would have a bit more personality. Cairou laughed so that the flowers and branches trembled, extremely seductive. I couldn't help leaning my head closer, biting her ear and saying: I want to sleep with my arms around you.

Cairou's pretty face was dazzlingly bright, she lowered her head and said: I want to do that too! I pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't you invite that old fellow Lingzhi to see the stars?" Cairou powder came to beat her fists, and said unyieldingly: You are playing tricks on me. Then he shouted: "I almost forgot, look!" Raising his left hand, he wore a shiny black bracelet on his wrist, without any decorations, but it was extremely black!It makes people feel extraordinary. I was stunned and said: Could this be made by Zhenwushi?My heart beats wildly, assuming my Witch Blade can't cut through this bracelet, it means that Zhenwu Knife can indeed restrain my Witch Blade, but I can't be so cruel and ask her to take it off for me to try immediately.

Cairou happily said: "It's the Zhenwu wrist. I met the Duchess just now, and she gave me this one, you know?"Apart from her one and mine, there is no third Zhenwu wrist in the world! I smiled wryly, it seems that this relationship can't be pushed or pushed, but Niya is indeed a very touching beauty, her pride and nobility is another kind of attraction that is different from Cairou's natural and amiable. Although Hua Qian is also a rare beauty, compared to them, she is always inferior. Is this one of the reasons why I cruelly left her in the Witch Kingdom?Thinking of this, my heart feels like it is being weighed down by a boulder, and it's even a little difficult to breathe.

A wise voice said: Cairou, it's time to watch the stars. Cairou jumped up happily and said: Great Sword Master!let's go together! I pretended to be nonchalant, lest Cairou see what was on my mind, and smiled: I will join you tomorrow night. Cairou wrinkled her cute little nose, leaned over and kissed my cheek lightly, and said in a voice so low that she could only hear it: I will be all yours for the rest of the night. As soon as I turned around, a gust of wind went. Without her familiar deodorant, I felt a little lost, and walked towards Niya's main camp. The sun warriors along the way were all in awe when they saw me, with admiration and gratitude in their eyes. I knew that even if I told them to die, they would not hesitate.

This is the only way I can defeat the Heicha people rely on the pure land people's unshakable belief in the prophesied Holy Sword Knight. When I came to the tent, the guard almost knelt down and told me: The Duchess led four female soldiers to inspect the camp. I summoned Feixue, rode my horse and chased in the direction indicated by the guard. The night sky in Pure Land is as clear as transparent, filled with stars, big and small. I don’t know that those two stars are Piaoxiang and Tianmeng. The people of Pure Land are the most romantic, delicate and beautiful people I have ever met. But it is not suitable for cruel war.

The Tianmeng River is flowing gently in the far left. I wonder what her source looks like? I thought of the great head of state, and felt like a thorn in my heart. This demon king should have come to the Pure Land earlier than me, so what kind of harm would he do to the Pure Land?Assuming he got the Zhenwu knife, would I still have the ability to kill him? My swordsmanship is constantly improving, but manpower is sometimes poor, but the head of state is only half human, and his potential is endless. If the fight continues, it is indeed unknown who will win. On a small hill ahead, there was the faint neighing of a horse.

I patted Feixue lightly, and this guy speeded up knowingly, and reached the top of the hill in a blink of an eye. Niya's slender and delicate body stood with my back, and she was staring at the dark field covered by the starry night in the distance. The four female soldiers hurriedly bowed down to salute, not daring to raise their heads. In their hearts, there is no difference between me and the gods What's the difference. I don't like that feeling, but I have to use it. Niya said calmly: You go back to the camp first! The four female soldiers left as promised. I jumped off the snow and came behind Niya. I can say that I have rich experience with women. In just one year, there have been Xiqi, Hua Qian, the princess, the witch, and Cairou successively. Although love is a treasure book that can never be read to the end, at least one thing is for sure, that is, when she comes, even the most hard-hearted people cannot resist, not to mention my heart is still so soft. Niya looks very strong on the surface, but she is just hiding in a hard shell. The death of Grand Duke Lazar has already dealt a great blow to her. If I hurt her heart again, will she be able to bear it? In this era of war with no tomorrow, if I still can't grasp the present, it would be a very stupid thing to make her and me more happy. How lucky I am. On the arduous and lonely journey, Cairou first drove away the loneliness. When I first arrived in the Pure Land, I met this beautiful and noble duchess. God really treats me well, even if I have to taste all the love in the future A bitter cup, but who cares so much. Thinking of this, a hot current gushed out from the bottom of my heart, and the shackles I made for myself were also untied by myself. The fragrance of Niya's body faintly entered my nose, on such a beautiful night, in such a beautiful piece of land, in this secluded corner. Although I didn't have a drop of wine on my lips, I already felt drunk. A gust of night wind blew, blowing Niya's golden hair, reminding me of the amazing feeling I had when I first met her, when I took off the helmet and the golden hair flowed down. Back in time, I remembered the arrow Xiqi shot at me in the grassland, the dangerous collision with Huaxi in the night market of Moon City, the seductive scene where the witch was lying lazily on the felt blanket in the big tent selling beautiful women , the princess on the high seat in the palace of the princess, and Cairou in the tent kneeling in Shining Valley, one after another heartbreaking and exciting scenes flashed through my mind. Nya's hair brushed against my face, waking me up. Niya finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said coldly: What are you doing here?Do you want to persuade me to go back to Fire City? After I figured it out, I didn't have any scruples anymore, and smiled slightly: "Silly boy!"How can I still be willing? Niya's delicate body was startled, she turned around abruptly, her beautiful eyes shot out an expression of disbelief, and she said in a daze: You you Suddenly, I realized that what attracted me the most about her was a kind of arrogance from the bottom of my heart, which made me feel that it was extremely precious to have her heart. I looked deeply into her clear eyes, and said softly: Don't talk, let me take a good look at you. Under the starlight, her pretty face with icy muscles and bones was glowing, her eyes flashed brighter than the stars in the sky, and then she lowered her captivating head shyly. The entire night sky seemed to suddenly expand thousands of times, and the two of us seemed to grow a lot taller, reaching into the deepest part of the night sky. It was a subtle feeling when a person discovers his greatness and significance. Her hair was fluttering in the wind, blowing on my face, a scent of her unique hair passed into my nose, penetrated into my heart and spleen, there was a feeling of melting. Am I being too affectionate?The first time I saw Xiqi, the witch, and Cairou, I fell in love with them. There is no right or wrong in love, only too much or too little, pain and joy. She looked up again and gave me a furtive glance. It was an infinitely intoxicating glance. Ruo Tianmeng River's endless clear stream contained affection for the earth, and it came rushing towards the shore like a tidal wave. I stretched out my right hand affirmatively, came under her collar, gently grabbed her delicate chin, and held up her burning red face. Once the eyes meet, they are inseparable. There are so many lovely women who fall in love with me, Lante has lived up to this life; I am really not worthy, especially in love, they are all braver than me, more generous than me, and more willing to give than me, but I am Still looking for reasons to suppress their true feelings and reject them. If I had surrendered to Cairou earlier, she wouldn't have had to cry for several nights; if I hadn't deliberately left Niya, she wouldn't have suffered from yesterday until that moment. This is why. From now on tonight, I will no longer be afraid of love. Only there can I find the only true meaning of life, the reason why people should continue to exist. Feeling tired of war, death and suffering from the bottom of my heart, I leaned forward slightly and greedily kissed her moist and delicious red lips. The sound of hooves sounded rapidly. We reluctantly let go of each other. A Sun Warrior arrived on horseback, and Shi Li reported: A messenger has arrived in Fragrance City! Inside the spacious tent. The leading figures of the army had arrived, and all their eyes were on a young soldier. This soldier named Tian Zong is a messenger sent by Piaoxiang City. The last one to gain was Lingzhi, and Tian Zong immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, more respectful than when he saw Niya, which made me know that Lingzhiguo is one of the eight priests representing the highest power. Everyone looked worried, because Tian Zong's expression did not make him optimistic. After Lingzhi finished blessing Tian Zong, Niya asked, "Tian Zong, what good news did you bring?" Tian Zong respectfully said: "Dear Duchess, I am afraid Tian Zong will disappoint you, because Fragrance City is under siege by black fork evil spirits and is in danger!" Everyone's expression changed, they didn't expect the problem to be so serious, because if Piaoxiang City falls, let alone the loss of human life and property, we will also be cut off from the passage to the Temple of Heaven, and we will also lose the opportunity to supply people with food and weapons. It's a blessing to retreat, let alone confront the enemy? Niya was the calmest among them, she said: Who is the enemy's general and how many soldiers are there? Tian Zongdao: It is the bald ghost Zuo Lingquan and the man-eating ghost worker Leng Ming among the seven evil gods of the black fork. Until this moment, this Tian Zong only took a few careful glances at me when introducing the enemy, obviously he still didn't know that I, Lao Shizi, a holy sword knight, had come into the world to save sentient beings. This also means that the news is still limited to the area of ​​the Fire Catching City. It seems that I have to vigorously promote it. If I can solve the crisis in the Fragrance City, it will definitely have a great effect. General Zesheng was startled and said: "The remaining men in Piaoxiang City are less than 80,000, how can we resist the army of these two men?" Hou Yu was much calmer than Zesheng, and said: Piaoxiang City has to rely on mountains and rivers, and with the command of Grand Duke Hongshi, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Heicha people have attacked the city more than ten times, but they all returned without success. Why do you have the advantage this time? Tian Zong sighed and said: This time the force is more than three times stronger than before, and they came prepared, and successfully built a logistics castle in the rear, so that they can fight for a long time, instead of going back because of the lack of food. Lingzhi's expression is calm, as if he is confident, but in fact he just has confidence in me. Among the crowd, he believes in the ghost prophecy the most, because he himself is a virtuous priest. Others are not unbelievers, but there are differences in degrees Like Hou Yu and Zesheng, when they encountered a real crisis, they immediately forgot the existence of me, the Holy Sword Knight. If I want to restore peace to the Pure Land, I must strengthen their faith in me. This is the only way. Niya's pretty eyes drifted towards me, and immediately brightened up, shooting out an uncontrollable fire that only I knew was uncontrollable, but her voice pretended to be cold and authentic: Great Sword Master, what should we do? Tian Zong looked at me after a daze, showing that he was puzzled by why Niya asked me so lowly. I smiled slightly at Niya, glanced at everyone, and finally returned to Nya's pink face full of love, and said after feasting on her beauty, "Let us send these two demons to heaven, so that Xi Zhutong will not be so lonely." Everyone was stunned. You must know that with our 10,000 troops, we are able to solve the siege of Piaoxiang City. It is a dream, and I would kill the leader of the family. I really dare not even think about it. If they hadn't seen me beheading Xi Zhu with their own eyes At the same time, I am afraid that I have already yelled at me for talking nonsense. Tian Zong was even more stunned, not understanding why Niya and the others let me talk nonsense, and he said after a while: This, this, I bet he has forgotten Niya's introduction just now. Lingzhi moved to my side and said to Tian Zong: "Young warrior, I am not surprised by your surprise, because you don't know the true identity of the great swordsman Lante. He is the holy sword knight sent to us by heaven. Xi Zhutong is the dead soul under his sword. Tian Zong flashed a dubious look, but his demeanor did not change much, apparently still unable to accept and digest this fact. Hou Yudao: "If we use our current strength to provoke the opponent's army, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and bringing about our own destruction. They should have heard the news of Xi Zhutong's death, and they will never give us another chance." Everyone nodded in agreement, including the spiritual wisdom who believed in my power the most, so the prophecy belongs to the prophecy. Once it involves the reality in front of us, we have to consider it from the perspective of reality. And I can only think about it from this angle. Because I am still a human being and not a god, and I am most likely not the holy sword knight, but just happened to be riding a horse, holding an extraordinary sharp blade, and happened to come from Lian Yunfeng again. Everyone's eyes are on me. If I'm not wrong, their evaluation of me is vacillating between the two choices of Holy Sword Knight and Madman. Of course, except for Lingzhi and Niya. I smiled confidently and said, "Who said we're going to fight head-to-head with the two elite teams of the Black Cross?"Turning to Tian Zongdao: What materials were used to make the temporary castle they built? Tian Zong's face was filled with resentment, and he said: "These black fork people are destroyers of nature. They cut down a large piece of our precious fragrance tree to build their temporary castle. It makes people feel inexplicable grief and indignation." That is a castle mainly made of wood, of course it is thousands of times faster than building a stone castle. Tian Zong then let out a long sigh: "Mr. Ruolante wants to use fire to attack, it will be a waste of energy, because the area around Piaoxiang City is wet and dew all the year round, and the wood has to be dried before starting a fire. Fire attack is really a no-brainer." . I cursed in my heart, if there are more than a dozen barrels of black oil that is rich in the Witch Country, that would be great. I once read the Wisdom Code in the Witch Country, which mentioned that this kind of black oil is hidden deep in the ground, but sometimes It spews out of the ground, and its hiding places are all over the spherical land we are in. Maybe the pure land also has this precious thing. He casually asked: Near Fragrance City, have you ever seen a black liquid sprayed from the ground, and the smell is quite pungent.When I asked these few questions, I didn't really want to get an answer, but I really felt helpless, so I found something to say so that they would not lose their confidence in me. Everyone was stunned. Tian Zongda wondered: Why did the great sword master know such a place?It was the first time he respected me as a great swordsman. My shock is stronger than theirs, so am I really doomed to win this war? Seeing that I didn't speak, Lingzhi added: That place is called Black Blood Valley. It was originally a beautiful valley. One year before the Heicha people crossed the sea, black blood suddenly spewed out from the ground, killing all the plants and animals in the valley. Animals, someone pointed out that it was an ominous sign at that time, but the black fork people came unexpectedly, and they were all terrible black. I said: Where is the Black Blood Valley? Tian Zongdao: It is just 30 miles west of Piaoxiang City, and now it has fallen into the sphere of influence of the Heicha people. It is only eight or nine miles away from the wooden castle of the Heicha people. I suppressed the excitement in my heart, and said in a deep voice: Do you know what the black blood can be used for? Tian Zong shook his head and said: Some people say that it is the blood that the underground dragon spurted out of the ground after being injured. That thing is really terrible. After the Grand Duke Hongshi personally inspected it, he issued a ban, no one is allowed to approach the area within five miles. guilt, so as not to offend the evil god. I looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, feeling extremely happy. Everyone was puzzled. Niya said angrily: Great Sword Master!Don't keep it up, okay! Finally, she couldn't bear the tenderness rippling in her heart, and revealed the change in the relationship between me and her in her tone, attracting everyone's attention, with a smile on Lingzhi's face, and her eyes turned back and forth between the two of us. I coughed dryly to hide my embarrassment, and said with a serious face: I don’t know if this black blood is the blood of a dragon, but I know that this black blood is the most terrible burning thing on this earth. After the fire, no one can put it out. There was a light in everyone's eyes, and they finally understood what I meant. Tian Zong thought for a while, his excitement faded away, he sighed and said: The wooden fort of the Heicha people is full of Heicha soldiers, even if we have black blood in our hands, we can't send them to the wooden fort and set it on fire again. Everyone, including Lingzhi and Niya, felt lost, and the reason was very clear, because if the black blood could be forced into the castle, it would be better to just occupy it, why would there be any need for black blood. I smiled slightly and said: When did I say that I would forcibly break into the fort? Niya frowned her long eyebrows, glanced at me, and said puzzledly: Isn't that black blood useless? I smiled confidently without saying a word, and said lightly: It's night!Let's rest early. When the sun rises tomorrow, the Duchess, Tian Zong and I will lead a thousand people to go first, and you will come later and join us. The details can be studied further. Niya said: What's the use of a thousand people? I smiled and said: So many people are needed to give gifts? Everyone was stunned and said, "Gifts?" Lingzhi knew that I would not reveal my inner mystery, so he smoothed things over and said: Children!It's late, let's go back to rest. Everyone had no choice but to disperse, and only Niya and I were left in the tent. Two blushes rose on Niya's pretty face, which was extraordinarily delicate and charming on her icy muscles, which aroused people's imagination. I smiled and said: I know there are two Zhenwu wrists in this world, but how many Zhenwu knives are there? The blush on her face moved to her ears in an instant, and she gave me a half-annoyed look, pretending to be indifferent, and said: You already have a holy sword, but are you still thinking about Zhenwu Dao so greedily? I was too impatient to know the answer, so I had no intention of teasing her, and said with a straight face: I am just afraid that one of them will fall into the hands of a person who is more terrifying than a dragon. If I can't subdue him at that time, the disaster will come It's worse than the black fork ghost. With a serious look in Niya's eyes, she said: There are only three Zhenwu knives that were successfully forged, and one was lost more than a hundred years ago. Put it still in Tianmiao. I pondered for a while, thinking about how to grab a handful from the Heicha people first, so that the head of state would have no chance. Niya said softly: It's night!I have to get up early tomorrow! I was stunned, I should go back to the tent where You Cairou and Dahei are, but seeing the gentle expression in Niya's eyes, her shy expression, she made it clear that she wanted to spend the long night with me, and I didn't know what to do Handle. I just hate that I don't know the customs of the Pure Land, so I am with the noble duchess, whether it is compatible with etiquette. In this era of war, the relationship between men and women in the empire is very casual. This is not purely due to the troubled times and people's hearts. It is mainly due to the large loss of population, especially the male population. Of course, it is not a problem for a man to have multiple women, even single. Every woman in the world would not mind marrying a man they don't know or have just met in order to give birth to the next generation and maintain national power. I just wonder if the Pure Land people are like this?Or maybe they are naturally romantic and affectionate. I think it's mostly the latter. My old friend Nianjia is an example. But I promised that Cairou would be hers tonight. We haven't had any good behavior since she was hurt. Niya turned her back to prevent me from seeing her expression, she stood proudly with her straight back, and said in a cold voice: "You go!" well! I know that the indecision just now hurt the proud self-esteem of this noble beauty again, but I will never blame her. It was humiliating for her to let go of her pride in favor of me, so she was also very sensitive. Niya, please forgive yourself! Who is not vulnerable before love? I took her hand, and she struggled, but of course she couldn't break free, not to mention she didn't want to break free at all. He pulled her out of the tent before letting go. I said: Would you like to pay me a visit to my small tent? Niya blushed, lowered her head, and followed my steps closely to answer my question. I thought of the question of giving gifts to the besieging army of the Heicha people, and asked as I walked: Is there anyone in the army who understands the Heicha language?I remembered the strange language that Xi Zhutong screamed at me before he died. Seeing that it was time to get down to business, Niya lost her shyness a little, and said: Don't worry about it. After the Heicha arrived in the Pure Land, everyone is working hard to learn the beautiful Pure Land language, and these people are not worried. Immediately, I was overjoyed, and sighed happily: This is perfect, and I guarantee that they will not be able to push this gift away. Niya said angrily: What the hell did you come up with? I love to see her cute expression of half coquettish and half angry, and deliberately teased her: "Here we are!"This is the humble house, hey!Where did people go? This is completely different from the beautiful square colored tents in Pure Land. The small white tents I brought from the Kingdom of Witches are dark inside. Where did my little Cairou go?Even Dahei and Feixue were gone. The sound of Dahei's panting and running sounded from behind. I opened my hands to greet Dahei who jumped on me and licked his face, and said with a smile: Dahei, let me introduce you to another hostess Niya stretched out her snow-white hand, came over to stroke Dahei's big black head, blushed and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to know how to bully people so much!" I laughed and let go of Dahei. The guy jumped back to the ground and ran to the east of the camp. After walking a few steps, he turned around and yelled a few times. This guy actually knows how to be ordered to come back and lead the way. He is the most psychic dog I have ever seen. All military dogs of the Empire can take on various tasks, but they are only able to do so after strict training by black helmet warriors. Well, Dahei is really a strange breed of dog with self-learning ability. Niya Daqi said: It wants us to follow it! I snorted and said: Look at what the hell it is doing.I strode to follow, of course Niya was next to me. There are many camps along the way, all of which are dark and quiet. In such a late night, and after suffering from war and travel, everyone except the night watchmen fell into a deep sleep, looking for the real pure land in the dreamland. Under the light of scattered torches, amidst the roar of snoring, Niya's faint fragrance wafted over, and suddenly I felt surprisingly peaceful. Under the beautiful starry night, Cairou hugged her knees with her hands and put her feet on her chest, sitting on a smooth boulder, raised her pretty face, stared at the starry sky covering the earth, completely intoxicated in another world To, or there, to find her shattered dream, a paradise of beauty and peace. I know that I will never want to forget the touching scene in front of me in my life. Niya's hand gently got into my arms, as if she was afraid of disturbing Cairou, she said softly: "Let's go and join her world."Unexpectedly, my thoughts and hers synchronized to the same place, and my heart warmed up. woof woof! Dahei appeared next to Cairou, and barked three times unceremoniously. The sacred silence was shattered like porcelain. The three of us were startled at the same time. Cairou almost jumped up like a slingshot, turned around and saw us, a heart-pounding surprise flashed across her pure and pretty face, and she came straight to us. Niya and I stopped, Cairou walked straight in front of us, with sincere ecstasy, looked at me and Nya, then squeezed between us, stretching out her slender hand like a bird spreading its wings, He hugged me and Niya's waist, and tried his best to hug. The three of us closed like flower buds. Hot tears welled up in my eyes involuntarily and flowed down my cheeks. At this moment, I feel that I have the whole pure land, the whole earth. Even if I had to shed my last drop of blood for her, it was worth it!
