At first, no one responded, only Gu Rongjing took out a pen and paper from the mustard ring, squatted in front of the hole and waited.Afterwards, a woman raised the corner of her clothes tremblingly, tried her best to wipe off the magic circle in front of her, and then carefully left a bloody palm print on it.

"Lu Changzhen, long and short, long and pearly."

The woman was already skinny, with only a pair of beautiful almond eyes. She watched Gu Rongjing's strokes and strokes, squeezed her chapped lips, and added, "She is my daughter, she is three years old, and she is very beautiful. ...if you see her, you will recognize her at a glance."

Gu Rongjing had only memorized the word 'daughter' at first, but she paused slightly when she heard the second half of the sentence. She didn't know why, and then wrote her words in the book, "Very beautiful, three years old."

After finishing writing, I didn't forget to put it up and show her a look.

The refugees blocking the entrance of the cave also scrambled to look at it, and saw that the words "Lu Changzhen, daughter, beautiful, three years old" were written on the paper, and a middle-aged man immediately followed up with his name nervously, "I am I also have a daughter named Xie Danggui, whose nickname is Axue, who was born when it snowed in the winter solstice. She is eighteen this year, and she is not married yet..."

Gu Rongjing also wrote down according to his words, "Xie Danggui, whose nickname is Axue, was born on the winter solstice, unmarried at eighteen."

The father added: "She is also beautiful, with a good personality and character."

Gu Rongjing wrote down all of them.

"Danggui, don't write it wrong." After writing it down, the father was squeezed into the back row, still reluctantly shouting loudly, "It's the medicinal herb!"

The information left by this bit of pen and ink seems to have become the last link between them and their loved ones before they parted. At first they were chaotic and disorderly, until a 60-year-old man was stepped on under them and couldn't help vomiting blood. Everyone was quiet for a moment, and they gave way one after another, letting the seriously ill, elderly, or women come first.

The information left on the paper was also mixed and varied. Some wrote to the husband, telling him to renew the string as soon as possible and not to wait any longer; , to tell her to live a good life; there are also letters to parents, sisters and brothers, and lovers.

One by one, they left their handprints in front of this magic circle in order, leaving their last traces in the world.At this time, it seems that everyone has forgotten the pain, or Wen Fei noticed that someone quietly and neatly ended the lives of these chess pieces.

But at this moment, even if the Gu poison is stopped, it is useless.

This gorgeous death is a heavy counterattack.

Even if the word 'live' is in the hands of others, at least they must control the word 'dead'.

When the last breath stopped, Xian Yu lowered her hands. At this time, there was no living life in the cave, but they all stayed in the less painful moment.Fifteen blood marks were printed on the magic circle in front of the cave.These bloodstains are not traces of struggle and resentment, but with tenderness, as if it is expected that the living and the dead will complete their last handshake here.Even the refugee who died at the beginning, someone held his arm and helped him leave his mark on the magic circle.

Black wind and dark clouds enveloped Guyun City, and the plateau land seemed to be soaked with the blood of the dead. The stench mixed with the smell of soil floated in the air for several kilometers.

Xian Yu stood up and scanned the surrounding monks. For the past two days, they have been working day and night just to deploy Guyun City, and now there are two bruises.After experiencing the scene just now, many people had tears on their faces, and even Liu Wuming's eyes were red.

"They are willing to sacrifice because they are resilient. We choose to sacrifice them because we are too weak to be vulnerable."

His voice is not soft, but powerful, beating heavily on everyone's hearts like a drum.

"Remember this feeling of regret, of guilt."

He said slowly, "It's not hateful, but sad. I hope that you will never experience this feeling of unwillingness again for the rest of your life."

Because of unwillingness, regret, and because I don't want to repeat the same mistakes, I will do my best and things will turn around.

Xian Yu left after saying this.

Living people to clear the way is just the most inconspicuous method of Wen Fei's subordinates. He is a smart person, knowing that Xian Yu has made his attitude clear, and will not make trouble for himself.But in contrast, it means that he is about to launch a new round of attacks.

Everyone paused in place for a long time, and finally found what they should do after a long while. They filled up the loopholes in the magic circle, because the dirty blood left on the ground may also cause infection, so they had to burn all the dead bodies. ,in case.

This fire burned so brightly and hotly in the dark night, as if it was a warm torch that ignited all the light.

After Gu Rongjing helped them clean up, he handed the roster to Zheng Yi.He is acquainted with the owner of Guyun City, and by virtue of his household registration, he will be able to find the people left in this booklet and erect monuments and graves for their relatives.

It can be regarded as the rest of the dead.

Xian Yu was not there, and the monks dispersed in twos and threes after cleaning.Jiang Wenyun sighed, and kept some words in her heart. Seeing that Gu Rongjing was still in front of her eyes, she finally couldn't help but said: "Why is Daojun so cruel? Those are real people, they are neither magic cultivators nor monsters." clan, but the most ordinary ordinary people..."

When Xian Yu made a thunderous decision, she always had a strong sense of fear in her heart, as if she never thought that the gentle Xian Yu would say such terrible words.

In fact, not only Jiang Wenyun, but even Zheng Yi felt strange.

As early as when he returned to Wanjianzong, when Xian Yu told him that he should give up the northern border, he had this feeling.It's not that this decision was wrong, but...he was too decisive, making people unprepared.

"Master is not cruel, he is also very sad."

Gu Rongjing said.

This answer was beyond Zheng Yi and Jiang Wenyun's expectations.

"You think he is decisive because he knows that none of you can make this decision. Those who don't want to kill them will only kill themselves; those who have such thoughts are afraid of being considered cold-blooded by you. "

Good people can't make up their minds, and bad people don't want to bear the infamy.Only Xian Yu dared to do this, because he never cared about fame, let alone good fortune. He is the world's law enforcement officer, and what he has to do is always the right decision.

It is difficult to kill, it is difficult to kill bad people, but it is even more difficult to kill good people and innocent people.Why was he the only one who ended these dozens of lives, and why was he so neat and straightforward every time he took action?He just didn't want others to bear the guilt of murder, and he just didn't want these refugees to suffer all kinds of torture before they died.

It's not heartless, it's just a kind of indifferent tenderness.

Gu Rongjing's eyes were calm, at this moment Zheng Yi even had the illusion of seeing Xian Yu, and he couldn't help but bow his head in shame.But this is different from Xian Yu's, because Xian Yu has long been used to, or doesn't care about any misunderstandings, while Gu Rongjing can't help complaining for his sweetheart.

At this moment, Zheng Yi realized very clearly that among these senior brothers, except for Fang Jingcheng who died early, the rest were indeed not worthy of calling Xian Yu a master.

Perhaps, the meeting between Master and Gu Daoyou was not only Gu Daoyou's luck, but also Master's luck.

From this day on, Zheng Yi never called Shizun again.

Gu Rongjing didn't go back to the City Lord's Mansion. According to his understanding of Xian Yu, after going through such a thing, the master might not be in the mood to stay in the room, so he might just find a small forest and hide in a tree to drink with the moon.

Although the terrain of Guyun City is high, the development of the city is compact. The only place that can be called a small forest is only a small soil slope in the southeast corner. Because the climate is not suitable, it is only full of evergreen pines and cypresses.But because this place can see the miasma outside from a distance, the people dare not approach, so it is sparsely populated and very quiet.

When Gu Rongjing stepped into the forest, the coniferous green pines towered high like a pagoda, and the cypresses were interspersed with a few elms. The leaves of the elms were small. During the famine, villagers often picked the leaves of the elms and washed them and mixed them with some rice noodles at home. , making steamed buns or vegetable porridge are good choices.

The boots rolled over the fallen leaves all over the ground, making a crunching sound.Not long after Gu Rongjing walked, he suddenly felt something floating down from the top of his head. He looked up, and a bunch of yellow flower bones that looked like silver strings suddenly fell from the sky, carrying a fresh fragrance.

He subconsciously caught a few flowers, and in the gap between the flowers, Xian Yu half-lyed on the big branch of the elm tree, plucked a branch of flowers in his hand, and put a wine pot beside him, Gu Rongjing's eyes found him, and he Show a faint smile.

Gu Rongjing knew it when he saw this smile.

Xian Yu was not very happy.

Or in other words, he was a little sad.

Gu Rongjing gently clung to the branch and flew up.Xian Yu put away his legs and moved the place for him.Fortunately, this is an elm tree that has grown for hundreds of years, and the branches are strong and strong, so that they will not fall on the green leaves all over the ground.

"Why are you here?"

"Master hiding here drinking alone?"

The two asked in unison, and when they finished speaking, they both laughed.

Gu Rongjing lowered his head and sniffed him lightly, but he didn't smell the strong smell of alcohol.

Xian Yu knew what he wanted to ask, "I always feel like I just received a heavy commission from them, and coming here to drink alone... I don't feel very respectful."

He was talking about the innocent people who had just died at his hands.

"Drinking by two people can be called mourning." Gu Rongjing said, took out two clean wine glasses from the mustard ring, poured one of them first, and poured the wine on the fallen leaves on the ground.

Xian Yu originally thought it was over, but Gu Rongjing suddenly started singing the next moment.

"Pour a glass of fine wine slowly. I advise the dead to leave early, not to stay at home for hours; to go to Jiangdong in free time, where ten trees are full of peach blossoms and nine trees are red; one day a strong wind blows, the flowers fall into the water, the branches are empty, and the flowers fade in spring. Fa; a dead person cannot be resurrected again, once the dead person is gone, it is like a lamp being extinguished, and goes to the western sky without a trace..."[1]

This song is very long, Gu Rongjing is not good at rhyme, although few of them are in tune, but fortunately his voice is nice, which saved a lot of points.Xian Yu never expected that he would sing this kind of farewell song, at first he looked shocked, but after listening to it, he couldn't help laughing until he burst into tears.

"...After the July [-]th anniversary, the house of the spirit is burned and smoke is emitted; three years later, when the filial piety is completed, the dead will be reincarnated and left the underworld."

After Gu Rongjing finished singing, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xian Yu, "Does it sound good?"

Xian Yu drank it down in one gulp, her eyes curved like the bright moon, and praised: "Of course you sing well."

Gu Rongjing said: "After my mother died, I wandered outside the city for a while. I happened to hear an old man with pockmarks singing this song hissingly when a family was sending a funeral, so I wrote it down. Sing it to her before the dead body."

After singing, he left Golden Leaf City.

Xian Yu stopped laughing when she heard the second half of the sentence.

The cool breeze blows, the faint smell of elm leaves dilutes the stench of miasma in the distance, and the moonlight casts them a short-lived paradise.

"When you're unhappy, it's okay to cry." Gu Rongjing poured another glass of wine and handed it to him, "Why do you have to laugh forcedly, it's not pretty."

Xian Yu touched the side of her face subconsciously, "Is it ugly?"

Gu Rongjing then changed his words: "That's not true, it's still pretty."

Xian Yu smiled lightly, and quickly suppressed the smile again, "I just want to be as decisive as I show."

To be so decisive when doing it, and then cry all over your face afterwards, it is too fake and compassionate.

"Since you dare to do it, why do you care what other people think? People are not grass, how can you be ruthless?" Gu Rongjing said, "The one who takes that step first needs more courage than others."

Kindness is everywhere, but not all have courage.

Just like the disciple who stood up first, isn't he afraid of death?Don't you know how your beloved junior sister cares about his safety?It is precisely because he is so clear that it takes more courage to do this.

I am the first to overcome all difficulties, this is the quality that impresses them.

Xian Yu smiled lightly, drank half a glass of wine, and handed it to him again.Gu Rongjing lowered his neck, took his hand and drank the rest.

This friendship is clearly illuminated by the moonlight through the transparent residual wine at the bottom of the cup.

No matter how harsh the wind is, at this moment they are snuggling up on the tree, their hearts are connected, the smell of wine is mixed with the fragrance of the elm, the grievances and grievances are settled at this moment, and the black and white impermanence in the distance leads the dead to cross with chains in their hands.This scene will never be forgotten for the rest of my life in the next few decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

Perhaps the day was covered with a thick layer of black fog, and the night was extremely long. At midnight, the beacon fire suddenly lit up continuously on the city wall, like a long fire dragon, spreading from the west of the city to the east of the city. , from the south of the city to the north of the city.

Xian Yu was awakened by the noisy movement in the distance. They pushed open the door and saw that the originally empty streets and alleys were suddenly crowded with a large number of shivering people in thin shirts. Outer shirt came out to direct them to hide.There are people coming and going on the street, and eager footsteps can be heard everywhere.

Gu Rongjing grabbed a monk casually, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The little monk's face was still stained with blood, and he didn't know if it was his or someone else's. At first, he was a little impatient when he was grabbed, but he calmed down immediately after seeing their appearance, but he spoke very fast, and looked very anxious.

"I want to tell the Taoist Lord that the devil suddenly led a magic army to attack half an hour ago. They tied the living people and monsters together and forced them to climb over the city wall with heavy loads. Now Elder Liu, Elder Jiang, and Elder Zheng are already waiting on the city. !"

It was only then that Xian Yu knew, because the incident happened suddenly and the beacon fire had just been lit, Jiang Wenyun and the others didn't even have time to send a report, but fortunately they were guarding together tonight, so they discovered the situation in time.

Xian Yu made a decisive decision, "Take me there!!"

"Yes!!"

When Xian Yu and Gu Rongjing arrived, the city walls were lit up like they were about to burn.The city lord of Guyun City is organizing soldiers to open the catapult. A huge boulder weighing dozens of kilograms rolls down the city wall, smashing down the living people and monsters who are climbing the ladder together, making deep wailing and screaming, and the monks are checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. , sword lights flashed, killing all the fish that slipped through the net on the city wall, and the dark magic cultivator army in the distance was pressing down like locusts. Everywhere was knocked out by monsters.

And they didn't tire at all and didn't know how to give up. They were like a giant tree hitting the magic circle, making a sharp sound that could scratch the eardrums.

Such a scene is enough to make people shudder at the sight of it.

Xian Yu's face was condensed, and he passed through the crowds in the city wall. Gu Rongjing followed closely behind him, and knocked down the ugly monsters that flew up from below.Liu Wuming and Zheng Yi stood in the center of the city wall, and they were repairing the magic circle, but the situation was in a hurry. The magic circle that was originally built by a few powerful people, now requires two people to repair it, which is really powerless.

Jiang Wenyun is squatting in a corner of the city wall, bandaging Wangyun's wound. Just now, the monster has attacked for a round. Wangyun is invincible in the fighting style. He was accidentally bitten by the monster. The next arm can't move. Jiang Wenyun is doing it for him He was treated urgently.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Jiang Wenyun looked up and was overjoyed, "Mr. Dao!!"

Xian Yu raised his hand to build a golden light circle, and when the monster touched the edge of the circle, it would let out a scream and be burned to death, barely creating a safe space for them.

He knelt down and took a look at Wang Yun's injury, and when he found that there was nothing serious, he frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?!"

Guyun City's formation could not be destroyed so easily. According to Xian Yu's calculations, the formation will last for two or three days before it is considered scrapped.But judging by the current situation, I'm afraid they won't even be able to survive the dawn!

As soon as this was mentioned, Jiang Wenyun was also full of remorse, "Shouldn't have opened the magic circle!!"

Demon cultivators used living people to carry monsters on their backs and drove them across the moat. Xian Yu had already seen through this trick, but what he never expected was that before Jiang Wenyun and Zheng Yi changed shifts, the Lord of Guyun City heard soldiers coming The newspaper said that a large number of refugees had appeared below, and asked them to open the city gate.The city lord loves the people like a son, and without their permission or even informing, he closed the magic circle without authorization. When the group of living people crossed the moat and gradually approached, they realized that those living people were carrying one by one. A little baby monster! !

However, it was too late to open the magic circle at this time, the bait and the hunters hidden around the river rushed in. Fortunately, the city lord was able to handle it clearly, and immediately closed the city gate and opened the traps on the city wall These poor people had to climb up the city ladder, and were crushed to death by huge boulders. Large pieces of corpses piled up outside the wall.

Jiang Wenyun said: "Fortunately, only the monsters that slipped through the net can come up now. Most of the living people didn't climb to the top of the city because of lack of physical strength. Although there were some infected with Gu poison, they were dealt with in time."

When she and Zheng Yi learned of the accident, they really regretted it, scolded the city lord in their hearts, and were frightened at the same time.If Xian Yu hadn't issued the order tonight, I'm afraid their city would have fallen long ago, not to mention that they still have the kung fu to deal with the monsters at this moment!

Sure enough, the benevolence of a woman is not worth it! !

Her face was full of remorse, and the city lord and his staff knew how much trouble they had caused. At this moment, they finally stopped asserting themselves. When they found them talking, they leaned over anxiously and said, "Immortal Chief, let's get on the catapult." I'm running out of equipment, and I'm afraid it's too late to get it now, but the group of monsters below are still..."

"Leave these to me." Xian Yu interrupted his lingering speech, and said to Jiang Wenyun, "You and Zheng Yi continue to repair the magic circle, and Rong Jing and I will deal with these monsters."

Monsters are the lowest level of things, Wen Fei wants to play personal sea tactics to consume their physical strength.Xian Yu didn't want to fight before, but at this moment he couldn't. The magic circle had to be repaired completely, leaving time for everyone to get ready.

Otherwise, in such a situation where the morale of the army is scattered and hasty, they will only die if they take the initiative to fight.

The city lord was shocked when he heard that he was so young, but he said "Leave it all to me" as soon as he said it, "Immortal Chief, there are too many things, I'm afraid you can't handle them..."

Jiang Wenyun also ignored the city lord and nodded, "Okay, then I will trouble you, Daojun."

Before leaving, he pulled the city lord aside by the way, and told him to take someone to replenish the equipment, and stop pestering Xian Yu with nagging.

Seeing this, Wangyun struggled to get up, "Daojun..."

As soon as he got up, Gu Rongjing pushed him back again.

"You should work hard here." Xian Yu said, "Your arm will take at least half an hour to get rid of the toxins. This half hour may be the only time you have to rest in the next few days."

"..."

Wang Yun understood the meaning of his words and stopped trying to be brave.

Xian Yu dragged Gu Rongjing to the city wall, and the two found that the defense on the right wall was the weakest. Because of the terrain, the city wall on the right wall was built extraordinarily high, and it took a lot of time to set up traps. Let down your guard.When they were observing the terrain, a few fast-moving monsters rushed up. A silver light flashed at his fingertips. The monsters split into two, lifeless like a severed worm, and fell straight down. .

Gu Rongjing frowned, "With this consumption, if Moxiu attacks the city later, we may not be able to resist."

Xian Yu also thinks so. Although he has the ability to build another protective magic circle to temporarily resist the invading monsters, it is not easy to build a protective wall to protect a city.Like when he dived into the secret realm before, he once intensified it with blood and built a protective magic circle, but he collapsed and passed out soon.If Wen Fei took advantage of the gap between him and led troops to attack Guyun City, they would have no power to fight back.

"I have to think of an easy and effective way..."

"Master." Gu Rongjing suddenly said, "Do you still remember that when we were in the secret realm of Jiao Qian, we joined forces to deal with that Jiaolong?"

When he said this, Xian Yu immediately remembered, "The reason why monsters are afraid of thunder and fire is because thunder and lightning are mixed with positive yang energy, and monsters are born to be extremely yin. Are you going to use wind, thunder and fire to attack each other?"

"More than that. The miasma is all over the sky, and the miasma belongs to the most yin, and there will be a fire when it encounters thunder." He raised his head, looked at the thick and deep sky in the distance, and sighed with a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth, "... so The dense miasma, if it intersects with the sky thunder, I'm afraid it will burn for three days and three nights, right?"
