Juvenile Tour [Jian San Yang Hua Tibetan Tang Dynasty]

〇 Seven. Nightmare

He dreamed of the labyrinth of darkness again.

"catch him!"

"Don't let that kid get away!"

He staggered forward and fled without purpose or direction.Nine years ago, the icy river water slapped his chest, and the Taoist robe was sticking to his body wetly, and every inch of his bones and joints was aching—but he couldn't stop, and he didn't dare to stop.

The sound of chasing and killing was getting closer and closer. He looked back hastily, but someone grabbed his hair from behind and pushed him down in the cold and murky river.The young man struggled desperately, trying to get some poor air, but he felt that the river was overwhelming him and swallowed him.Finally, unable to struggle anymore, he was dragged ashore like a corpse, coughing uncontrollably, and his mouth was full of the astringent smell of sand and blood.

Two black shadows straddled his arms and walked up the plank road - that short distance of less than a hundred feet, he had walked in his dream for nine full years.

"Is that the kid?"

"Heh, it was so majestic in the fight, but now it looks like tender meat, I don't know how it tastes?"

The black shadows grinned and approached him. He backed away in horror, but was pushed to the ground even more roughly. Through the group of black shadows, he saw the same dark sky, without stars and moons.

The young man howled like a trapped animal, mixed with the laughter of the black shadows, he looked desperate and mournful.

kill them!

There are beasts screaming in his heart, with overwhelming hatred.However, when he finally clenched the long sword in his hand and staggered all the way out of the encirclement, he just fled to another killing field of Shura.

Flames shot up into the sky, some people ran and some cried.The karmic fire that seemed to come from hell crazily devoured everything, smoke and dust billowed and danced, and the pungent burnt smell lingered in his nose—he knew that it was the smell of burnt flesh and blood.

"Please spare our mother and son... Please!"

A black figure stumbled towards him, and he subconsciously asked, who are you?If there is any difficulty, though——

Then he saw blood.

The three-foot long sword pierced the black shadow's chest. It turned out that it was a woman holding the small corpse of a baby in her arms.

He lowered his head in a daze, and saw more blood dripping from the blade, like blooming flowers.And his own blue and white Taoist robe was also dyed red, sticky and dirty, unable to see the original color.

With a sound of "clang clang", the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he unconsciously stepped back step by step, getting farther and farther away from the flames that filled the sky.The scorching temperature gradually receded, and behind him was the familiar plank road.

"... Daoist?"

Someone was calling him, a clear and familiar voice.

--who is it?

The darkness swept up, and he seemed to have stepped into the imaginary river again. Countless black shadows surrounded him, smiling wantonly, admiring his weakness and incompetence.

However, in this suffocating darkness, someone was holding his hand, warm and firm, reassuring.

Pei Taiyue woke up suddenly.

The noon sun shone into the room through the dilapidated window paper, Chu Loufeng had already risen, and he was sitting by the bed, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and holding his hand with the other.Pei Tai stared at him blankly, gasping for breath, his pupils were out of focus, looking panicked and dazed. "It's all right now." Chu Loufeng comforted in a soft voice, finally watching those dark eyes regain their clarity little by little, and then suddenly sharpened!

There was a chill in the palm of his hand, but it was Pei Taiyue who took his hand away, and after that, Chu Loufeng felt his world spinning for a while, and was grabbed by the neckline by the other party, and pressed down hard on the bed!

The back of his head hit the bed board heavily, and Chu Loufeng's eyes went dark from the pain. Before he could say anything, Pei Taiyue had already pulled out the long sword beside the pillow with his backhand and pressed it on his neck.

Chu Loufeng gasped, the cold killing intent on the opponent made him feel sincere fear.However, knowing that he had no room to resist at this time, he calmed down and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Pei Taiyue couldn't help but startled.

Even in the skin-to-skin kiss last night, he had never looked at this person so seriously.Chu Loufeng really had a good skin, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were raised slightly, and when he smiled, he was gorgeous, but when he was serious now, he looked handsome and innocent.He pressed the long sword by his neck with his fingers, and said sincerely: "I offended you last night, and I would like to pay with my life."

After finishing speaking, Chu Loufeng closed his eyes, with a posture of stretching his neck to kill, but felt the pressure on his neck suddenly lighten. It turned out that it was Pei Taiyue who put away the long sword and walked away.

He let out a long breath, feeling exhausted all over.The cold wind of early autumn swept over his body through the wide-open door, and he couldn't help shivering—presumably because he was too nervous just now, his back was sweating coldly, and even his underwear was soaked.

A group of four started on the road again, but the atmosphere seemed a little weird.The two people next door had such a big commotion the night before, and they didn't go out in the morning, so Ye Tianci wisely didn't disturb them.Unexpectedly, at noon, he finally got on the road, but he was cold and bored, and no one spoke, which really made him a little strange.

But soon, Ye Tianci didn't have time to think about it anymore, because just beside the Valley of Judgment, there was a group of corpses guarding the Valley of Evil!

"parking."

Pei Taiyue gave a succinct instruction, then jumped out of the carriage, knelt down to check the corpses on the ground.

Except for a few sporadic people who died on the periphery without even drawing out their weapons, the rest of the people lined up in a defensive formation hastily.The people who fought against them also left behind a few corpses, obviously in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to bury their own people.He squatted down and rummaged through the messy ground, only to see that although the group of people were all wearing ordinary clothes, the weapons they used still had the logo of the Haoqi League branded on them.

From this point of view, these guards in the Valley of the Wicked should have been suddenly attacked by far more people than their own side, but they were ultimately outnumbered, leading to the annihilation of the entire army.Judging from the bloodstains and wounds, at most half a day had passed since the fight.Because of the small number of people, the guards at Hongliangang have always been on two shifts, so this sneak attack should have happened in the early morning of this morning, when the guards were changing shifts.It was the most tiring and most relaxing time of the day, when the enemies lurking in the dark suddenly appeared and wiped out everyone.

Pei Taiyue thoughtfully twirled a handful of blood-stained soil with her fingers, only to see horseshoe prints on the ground in a mess, and the fallen leaves among them were trampled to pieces.He roughly counted the number of people on the other side, and his face became more and more serious - this is by no means a heroic individual who passed by by chance, but a large group of people who came prepared!

This is already the border of Luo Dao. Although there is no official road, it is the only way to go to Jinmen Pass. It is also the most tightly guarded in the dilapidated Hongliangang stronghold.These people passed by Hongliangang without grabbing it, which only shows that his guess the day before was completely correct, Haoqi League really made a detour, and sneaked into Jinshui from Fenghua Valley via Luodao.It's just that he sent someone to send a secret message that night, and it should have been delivered yesterday at the latest, so the Valley of the Wicked shouldn't have been unprepared.unless……

His eyes darkened slightly, it took about half a day's journey from Hongliangang to Jinmenguan, and the arrogance should have arrived by now.If it wasn't for the delay this morning, they would still have had the chance to report to Jinshui Town. Last night...was too coincidental.

Looking at the Longmen Desert that day, this man was so easily captured without a fight, and now it seems that there are many doubts; and along the way, it was he who was closest to him, and what he did secretly, it may not be known-fortunately, his people It's still in my hands now, so it's still a bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, Pei Taiyue stood up, walked straight to Chu Loufeng who was leaning against the carriage in a daze, and said, "Come here."

Chu Loufeng didn't know, so he obediently walked a few steps towards him, but never thought that Pei Taiyue's four fingers formed a knife, cut him on the side of the neck familiarly, knocked him unconscious and threw him into the car.Next to him, Ye Tianci obviously hasn't figured out the situation yet: "Boss, what's wrong with you? What did he do to you last night?"

Hearing him talking about last night, Pei Taiyue glanced at him coldly, only to see Ye Tianci fell silent, and then said in a deep voice: "Haoqi intercepted my messenger, Jinshui Town has probably been attacked."

Ye Tianci frowned, and quickly realized: "Are you...doubting Brother Chu?"

"It's just a precautionary measure."

"Not to mention that Brother Chu doesn't know our plan, and besides, he has been watched by you all the way, so he has a chance to report to the mouse?"

"It doesn't matter now, I will investigate." Pei Taiyue shook his head, and turned to Tang Fei, "Xiao Tang, you go on horseback first and go to Qingyunwu."

"Qingyunwu?" Tang Fei was taken aback, "Shouldn't we go to Jinmen Pass?"

"If Jinmenguan is captured, Qingyunwu will be trapped in the isolated city, and there will be a dead end; otherwise, if Jinmenguan can be held, Qingyunwu will not be difficult to take back—but it will be too late when the Haoqi reinforcements arrive," Pei Taiyue pulled out from his arms. A token was thrown over, "Go yourself, give my token to Master Qingyunwu, and ask him to abandon the city to help and defend Jinmen Pass with all his strength—if he doesn't want to, he will remove the names of Commander Tang and Chief Yan. When the time comes, the higher-ups will blame me, and I'll just bear it."

Tang Fei nodded solemnly, took the token, rubbed it on the corner of his clothes, and then hid it in his bosom preciously, and rode away.Pei Taiyue thought for a moment, and then said to Ye Tianci: "You also ride a horse, go to Jinmen Pass, and ask the commander to be careful of the direction of Fenghu Village. Chu Yangqiu led people through Qutang Gorge, probably for the sake of support. And... He hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid the reinforcements from Yi Xinglin will not be able to wait, so you must be careful."

Ye Tianci took the order to go, Pei Taiyue watched his back also disappear behind the rolling hillside of Luodao, and rubbed his forehead as if he was a little tired.
