When I woke up again, I was already in the car, which was shaking and passing through the rugged Taihang Mountains. There were faint lights ahead, and it seemed that we were not far from the highway. It seemed that we had reached the edge of Taihang Mountains.
I had lost half of my blood and essence, and my neck was still wrapped in gauze. My body was still weak and uncomfortable. Even though the heater was on in the car, I still shivered slightly and couldn't help tightening my clothes.
Perhaps, it was not my body that was cold, but my heart.
"Are you awake?"
Suddenly, a squeak came from the side, and I realized that the driver was no longer Zhang Bowen, but Liu Wen, a villager from Shigu Village. She said to me while driving: "My classmates and I are going to Taiyuan to go to school, and you also need to return to Taiyuan for treatment, and your driver has already...
So, I'll just help you drive and take you back."
When it comes to Zhang Bowen, although Liu Wen has tried her best to avoid it, it still pierces the most embarrassing part of my heart. For a moment, my heart can't help but hurt again, as if someone is holding a needle and stabbing it continuously, one by one, the pain makes me sweat all over, and even breathing is a little difficult.
Even without a mirror, I know that my face must be very ugly now...
Looking at the two sides of the car passing by the trees in front of me in the dark, my thoughts finally calmed down after a long time, and I couldn't help asking: "What happened in your village..."
"Let me tell you."
Zhou Jing came to me in the dark and told me in detail about the various situations when I fell that day.
The Great Controversy Ghost King is generally a relatively trustworthy ghost king. After sucking away half of my blood essence, he really attacked those devil soldiers.
Those devil soldiers suffered a blow from Zhang Ju and his men, and were attacked by the Song army led by me. Finally, when the army of the underworld appeared, they could not withstand the repeated attacks and were completely annihilated at Luoma Mountain. The ghost soldiers transformed from the guard regiment that Yoshikawa Sadao brought out from the Taiyuan concentration camp were all annihilated, and none of them escaped.
As for Yoshikawa Sadao's old ghost, Zhou Jing said that he was completely stepped on by the Great Controversy Ghost King, torn into pieces and eaten inch by inch! !
This made my chilling heart calm down a little.
After solving Yoshikawa Sadao's problem, the Great Controversy Ghost King fulfilled his promise and did not harm General Zong Shidao's group of ghost soldiers.
But even so, the results of the battle were still tragic.
General Zhong Shidao and Song Gui were both seriously injured, their Yin Qi was scattered, and it would take them a hundred or eighty years to recover. More than half of the two thousand Song army ghost soldiers under their command were killed, and the rest were all injured. After resolving the matter, they returned to the cave burial site to recuperate.
The worst were the ghosts of the prisoners of war in the Taiyuan concentration camp. Because the Japanese army pushed them to the front, they suffered particularly heavy damage in the war. During the three-way battle, eight out of ten were killed by mistake. It is said that when the number of people was counted after the Japanese soldiers were eliminated, there were less than a thousand ghosts left. Later, Gu Yinghan performed a ritual to send all these ghosts away. They suffered in life and suffered decades of hardship in the world after death. They never harmed human lives, and they were the ones who were always hurt. It is estimated that they will have a better reincarnation in the underworld.
Needless to say, after resolving the Luomatan incident, Gu Yinghan and Zhou Jing took me, who was half dead, back to Shigu Village. At this time, Lv Yike had already returned with the missing villagers of Shigu Village. Unfortunately, Shigu Village was too backward. Apart from an old Chinese doctor who worked on the farm and collected herbs to treat the villagers, there was not even a rural clinic, which could not treat my wounds at all. I was stabbed several times in the underground base that day. My wounds were not treated in time. I was exposed to the wind and rain and fought bloody battles with the Japanese soldiers. My wounds had already festered and I had tetanus. I had already started to have a high fever while I was unconscious. The old Chinese doctor just helped me lower my body temperature, and then asked Liu Wen and his two classmates to take turns driving me to Taiyuan in a hurry.
"Where's Gu Yinghan?"
I resisted all the discomfort, sat up, and asked Zhou Jing: "He is a capable man, didn't you try to get him to join us?"
"I did, but he didn't come."
Zhou Jing said softly: "He said that the Feng Shui pattern of the four dangerous places in Luoma Mountain can't be broken in a short time, and something will happen there sooner or later. His ancestors have been watching this dangerous Feng Shui situation for generations, guarding the peace in the Luoma Mountain area. He can't leave, and he doesn't want to leave, for fear of failing the trust of his ancestors. "
I thought about it, and finally could only sigh. The Feng Shui pattern of the four dangerous places is naturally formed, and there is almost no solution. Unless we learn from Yugong moving mountains and flatten the Qinglong position, Xuanwu position, and Baihu position, maybe we can solve it. However, this kind of project is not something that Gu Yinghan and I can solve at present. If we let the country do it, they will not believe us. Anyway, it is basically impossible to solve it completely. We can only drag it on like this, and we can drag it on for one day, so I still understand Gu Yinghan's feelings.
It's just that Gu Yinghan is a capable person. It's really a pity that he is unwilling to join. First, he has a lot of skills but stays in that remote place. Second, he may be the last Qingwei Dao descendant in this exaggerated society. He should go out of the mountains to spread Qingwei Dao, otherwise it will be a loss to Chinese civilization!
But this kind of thing still depends on fate. If people don't want to, I can't do anything.
After hesitating for a while, I finally asked the question that I didn't want to face the most, but had to face: "Where is Brother Zhang? Did you go back to check after dealing with those Japanese soldiers?"
"I checked."
Zhou Jing said softly with sadness on his face: "The cave of the Four Elephants has been completely blown up, and the poison gas bombs stored in it have also been detonated. Almost no animals around the cave survived. When we went there, the underground base had disappeared. Brother Zhang's body could not be found at all. After searching around, we only found his saber. But I didn't take it away. Gu Yinghan and I built a tomb for him there."
Cloak...
I closed my eyes gently. Maybe it's okay. Zhang Bowen was a good man and a great hero in his life. He died there in battle. It's okay to have a tomb there. Burying in the mountain, accompanied by the majestic and towering green mountains of Luoma Mountain, may also be a destination.
Some slightly warm liquid ran across my face. Although men don't shed tears easily, that was just because I hadn't reached the point of being sad. Every time I think of Zhang Bowen's smile and his straightforwardness and heroism, my heart is blocked. I could still hold it back when I was at Luoma Mountain, because everything came so suddenly at that time, so suddenly that I didn't even have the opportunity to be sad. I just used all my strength to survive, but now that I am quiet, I am swallowed up by the silent sadness.
Maybe Hua Mulan is right. I am walking on a road full of thorns and bones. I can't see the front when I look up, and there is nothing behind me when I look back. I can only stand on the bones of my brothers and move forward.
Zhou Jing reached out and wiped the tears from my eyes, lowered his head and said, "Brother Tian, it's my fault. Brother Zhang detonated the gunpowder depot at the last moment of his life. He was a suicidal person. Unfortunately, this kind of face is the most difficult to see, and it will not be reflected in the twelve palaces of face. Therefore, his life palace and disease palace are calm. It takes a high level of physiognomy to combine the various signs of the twelve palaces to judge his fate. It's all my fault that I am not good at physiognomy. If I had my grandfather's attainments, maybe I could have warned him in advance."
"Don't blame you, it's all fate."
I endured the discomfort in my body and reached out to touch Zhou Jing's head, smiling bitterly, "I should say sorry. I failed Grandpa Zhou's trust and failed to take good care of you. Instead, you followed me at such a young age. How can I blame you for crossing mountains and rivers and entering and exiting those forbidden places where living people would die without a single chance of survival? If I have poor skills, it is my fault. If I had the ninth level of killing spirit, why would Zhang Bowen die generously to provide us with a chance to escape? "
"Brother Tian, don't say anything."
Zhou Jing lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said in a very low voice: "Although I always go against you, I really treat you as my brother in my heart. I have no parents and no grandfather. You are the only one left. You should cheer up. You are a good person. If you had a choice, you would not mind dying for Brother Zhang..."
After he said that, I felt even worse in my heart. I turned my head away and said nothing.
Tired!
Unprecedented fatigue swept over me. I just wanted to stay quiet for a while. The car also fell into silence for a long time.
After a long time, I finally adjusted myself when the car stopped at the toll gate. Out of boredom, I took out my cell phone and turned it on. There was already a signal here. As soon as I turned it on, a series of text message notifications sounded. They were all text message notifications of missed calls with the phone turned off. There were Uncle Li and Chen Yu. The most were from Qingyi. During the time I entered Taihang Mountain, he actually called me more than 200 times, almost 20 to 30 times every day! !
I know Qingyi's personality. If it wasn't something very important, he wouldn't call me like this.
I don't know what it was...
I was a little confused. Although it was late at night, I still called Qingyi back.
Within three seconds, Qingyi answered the phone: "Xiaotian, have you been on a mission recently?"
I said "hmm" softly. I really didn't want to talk about this mission anymore. After a moment of silence, I avoided the topic and asked Qingyi directly: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes."
Qingyi sighed deeply, which made my heart sink. Qingyi is a person who can remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him. Now even he is sighing. I'm afraid something big has happened, and it's not a good thing!
Just when I was secretly guessing, Qingyi finally spoke: "Don't take any missions during this period. Just wait patiently in Taiyuan and wait for my news at any time. Fatty is in trouble. If necessary, our team needs to assemble again to rescue him!!"
