Chapter 903: Yuezhi
The scenery of the desert is like an eternal picture. From dawn to dusk, except for the uneven sand dunes, there is almost no change. Wen Ting lay on the camel and fell asleep. She was too hurt.
Unable to withstand the turbulence, Yun Xiao did not want to expose the identity of the royal bird in such a dangerous place and alarm the Demon Cult. The two of them followed the guidance of the big star and headed west. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the starlight suddenly shone with a distinctive light.
Color, Yun Xiao stopped curiously, but there was still endless yellow sand in front of her, and there was no shadow of so-called ruins at all. Just when she hesitated, a faint light extended from the distant horizon, and before her
She carefully stretched out her hand to touch the outline of the door that transformed in front of her. At this time, Wen Ting also woke up and felt the familiar spiritual power coming towards her face. She raised her finger to find the breath.
Passing through this door and going down, the sand flows like water on both sides, revealing long and deep stairs. A splendid ancient city miraculously appears in the field of vision. It is a unique style that the two of them have never seen before.
Full of mystery and unknown, even if it has been buried by wind and sand for thousands of years, it still shines with the magnificent civilization. In front of the palace in the distance, although the woman in white robe looks old, her high forehead and
There was an unreachable sanctity in her blue eyes. As she waved the staff in her hand, the sand grains gathered into a soft satin, carrying the three of them into the Yueshi ruins.
"Tingting, Tingting!" The high priest rushed forward and hugged Wen Ting, who was struggling to get off the camel. Suddenly her pure white robe was stained with blood. She didn't mind at all and quickly used her spiritual power to
Protecting Wen Ting's vitals, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the bright flame on her chest. The painful memory made her instinctively make a clasping action, as if she wanted to desperately remove the fire from Wen Ting's body.
She threw it away, but Wen Ting gently held her hand. After a day and night of healing, her vocal cords miraculously recovered, but her voice was still as hoarse as a dry river bed. She explained with difficulty: "Auntie, it doesn't matter to me.
, this fire is not from the demon sect, it is from the girl next to me..."
Yun Xiao quickly revealed his identity, and then the high priest lowered his guard and led a few people into the back hall to rest. There were still many people standing in the huge palace. When they saw Wen Ting's devastated appearance, everyone was surprised.
They gritted their teeth angrily, but even though their eyes were as bright as lightning, everyone still held back and did not make any sound. After a while, the high priest looked at Wen Ting lovingly, but he could not hide his sobs, and said in a low voice: "I thought
I will never see you again. Since the last time you secretly took the Blood Lure Insects and Thunder Fire Insects to Dunhuang, I really thought I would never see you again..."
"Cough cough, cough cough..." Wen Ting wanted to speak, but she still coughed violently for a while before she managed to take a breath and calm down. The hollow eye sockets were sunken, setting off the face that was completely unrecognizable.
It was a kind of creepy hatred. Yun Xiao and Xiao Qianye looked at each other and asked tentatively as if they understood something, "We were also nearby at the Demon Sect's festival last night. There were indeed many weird things. Common people
His mood is also very abnormal, High Priest, what is going on?"
The high priest's eyes darkened, and his tone became stern: "More than a month ago, we discovered that the Demon Cult had made new moves. They sent the sub-altar saint Wei Liya to Dunhuang, ostensibly to hold a salvation ceremony for the dead.
, in fact, they cooperated with the Holy Boys from the sub-alternary who had already penetrated into the Central Plains, and wanted to open up this fortress that was necessary for the Eastern Expedition, so that the forces of the Demon Cult could invade the Central Plains faster, and the person who helped them cover it was Lei Gong.
Mo, we are worried that if we don't curb the development of the demon sect's power, we may repeat the mistakes of a hundred years ago. Mobei's support just happened to arrive, and Tingting brought the most elite warriors to prepare for a decisive battle with Lei Gongmo. She never expected that
, there was a traitor in the Yue clan, we were defeated and fled in that battle, but fortunately Miss Tang risked her life to save her, and Tingting escaped with several seriously injured clan members."
When Tang Hongxiu was mentioned, both of them felt nervous. The high priest smiled lightly and comforted: "Miss Tang helped us save Qianqian at the execution ground last year, and now we have saved Tingting. She is from the Yuezhi family."
My benefactor, I will do my best to treat her. Her injuries are no longer serious, but her spirit seems to have been affected by the magic of the Demon Cult and she has been unable to wake up. But don’t worry, I have calculated the trajectory of the stars. Next month
There is a sign of Tengu eating the moon, and the secret method within the Yue clan needs to be activated through celestial signs, which will definitely make Miss Tang wake up."
Yun Xiao was still wringing her hands in worry. The high priest lowered his head and continued what he had just said: "After Tingting escaped last time, she guessed that there was a traitor in the clan, so this time she proposed a plan to me. I didn't want to
I agreed, but she was too stubborn and left without my consent with a group of warriors who feared death."
"What plan?" Xiao Qianye finally asked, feeling an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart. The high priest choked for a moment, looked at Wen Ting like a hero, and replied softly: "She is Lei Gongmo's
A thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, he wanted to get rid of her quickly. Once Tingting fell into his hands, she would be executed with great fanfare, so she buried the thunder fire bug into her body and deliberately missed her arrest. This bug is Yueshi.
Those raised in secret will explode as soon as they encounter an open flame, and the entire festival will be blown up..."
Before he finished speaking, the high priest paused slightly, put his hand on Wen Ting's chest, with an unbelievable light in his eyes, and said: "Which mental method is the girl practicing? This flame is so pure and pure.
, but it didn’t cause the thunder bugs to explode, which really surprised me.”
"Explosion?" Yun Xiao's eyes widened in shock. She had no idea that there was such a terrifying thing hidden in Wen Ting's body. Wen Ting sneered and answered, "I originally wanted to kill Thunder Lord with thunder fire insects."
Mo and that witch, I didn't expect to be saved by you unexpectedly."
"That witch knows magic, so she will definitely not be killed by the explosion. If Lei Gongmo is colluding with her, nothing will happen to her. The only people you can kill are ordinary people." Xiao Qianye answered calmly, and Yun Xiao's back felt faintly cold, thinking of it.
At the festival, when everyone was going crazy like a demon, he swallowed his saliva and asked, "What are those blood luring insects?"
"That's another kind of bug planted in the body of our dead soldiers." The high priest took her words. Although his tone was calm and calm, Yun Xiao straightened his back for a moment and couldn't help but lean towards Xiao Qianye.
After a few steps, "The devil sect likes to use fire torture. There will be many torches lit near the festival. The blood attractants will wake up under high temperature, and then search for a new host with the smell of blood. They will lie dormant for seven days, mature for ten days, and then
Slowly devouring the internal organs from the body, making people die in agony. In order to relieve his hatred, Lei Gongmo will definitely kill all our dead soldiers. When the hero's blood is spilled in Dunhuang, that is when the blood luring insects break out of their shells. No one,
No one can escape the pursuit of the souls of the dead!"
"Chasing souls and seeking lives..." Yun Xiao muttered these words silently, as if he hadn't fully understood the bloody truth behind them. Xiao Qianye's eyes were filled with gloom. At the ceremony, the dead soldiers who were frozen in mid-air by the demon girl were pinched.
The broken neck was thrown to the excited Dunhuang people. Soon the body was torn into pieces, and the blood and water mixed with the stumps were scattered on the ground. In other words, at that time, the blood bait insects had already entered silently.
In the bodies of ordinary people, are they waiting for their souls to seek their lives ten days later?
"Do you want to kill the people of Dunhuang as well?" Yun Xiao finally came to his senses, looked at the smiling high priest and the silent Wen Ting in disbelief, and trembled, "The reason why those unarmed people became so deformed
Like the crazy demon, could it be that he was also affected by the blood attracting insects?"
"No." This time the high priest denied it without hesitation. Looking at the hesitant gazes of the two men, he replied seriously, "The Demon Cult is not only good at sorcery and sorcery, they also mix poison into torches and torches.
When you use it for lighting at night, it will be inhaled without anyone noticing. Today's Dunhuang City has long been a stronghold of the demon sect, and we will not hesitate to eradicate them all!"
"But they are all innocent..." Yun Xiao trembled violently and heard Wen Ting curse out of control, "They are not innocent! My parents have guarded Dunhuang for thirty years! They have repelled countless foreign invasions.
Those Huihe and Tibetan Huns would take the initiative to retreat when they heard the name of hussars. My two brothers have been in the army since childhood and grew up from the most ordinary soldiers. My father has not given any preferential treatment or privileges to his two sons.
The Wen family was very loyal and worked hard to guard the Dunhuang Fortress all their lives. However, they were slandered by some villains and ended up like this!"
"Tingting..." The high priest wanted to calm down the angry Wen Ting, but she forcefully shook his hand away. His empty eyes looked devilishly in the direction of Yun Xiao, "You said those stupid people are innocent?
Haha...hahahaha! Where are they innocent? They have lived and worked in peace and contentment for thirty years under the protection of my parents, but in the end they were incited by villains to pick up rocks and throw them at them crazily on the execution ground. Who gave them a peaceful life?
Is it Lei Gongmo or the Demon Cult? Neither, neither! It’s my father, mother and brother who were smashed to the point of bleeding and never cursed or cursed them!"
Wen Ting howled a few words, as if only such hysteria could release the hatred in her heart: "You are from the Kunlun Mountains. You must be living a life as free and unrestrained as wandering clouds and wild cranes, right? In this case, you have no right to say that they are innocent."
Yun Xiao opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked by a piece of iron and she couldn't make any sound. Xiao Qianye gently held her in his arms. He was quite calm, as if he was responding to Wen Ting's words.
Feeling the same, he calmly continued: "I have also been hunted as a wanted criminal by my own country and people for more than two years. Frankly speaking, there were countless times during this period. I wanted to drag them to be buried together, but there are always some people who can't let go.
They are friends, colleagues, and relatives... If there are no such people in Dunhuang City now, I think Miss Wen's actions are understandable, but if you can still think of one or two such names, then at least you should before massacre.
Rescue them first, right?"
Wen Ting remained stunned, and her heart, which had been torn by hatred for the past year, suddenly began to beat slowly - names? Why did she really think of so many names at this time?
The boy who had just joined the army under his father had a naive and innocent baby face. She was deceived by a woman who disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the military camp. She foolishly took her to a spear class. After the whole day of training, she
Smiling, she pulled the man behind the unoccupied tent and put down her long, beautiful hair. She looked at him, stunned and speechless for a long time. She triumphantly pinched the boy's cheeks and grinned and sneered. What's that man's name?
name?
In a wine shop in the south of the city, there was a little girl of the same age. The two girls grew up together. They ran out of the city without telling their families, found the horse thieves' camp and stole their wine, and imitated the behavior of adults under the desert night.
Jie Jinlan and vowed to protect each other for the rest of his life.
In the inn in the east of the city, a group of businessmen from the Central Plains will come every three years. Among them is a gentle swordsman who is also a guard. Unlike the muscular bodyguards who speak in a loud voice, he never speaks in a loud voice.
Dressed in white like snow, he will show a beautiful smile when he notices her.
Where have all these people gone?
Her eyes were gouged out, but tears still came out of her eyes. Wen Ting's hands twitched violently. The grown-up soldier was kicked out of the military camp for resisting Lei Gongmo. He was ostracized and could only make a living by doing odd jobs. Her sisters
The family was robbed by horse bandits, and she was bought back as a slave by Lei Gongmo. And the swordsman in white, calculating the time, should come again this year, right?
