Chapter 545: Wangshu Temple
The further you go, the more shocking it becomes, until you can barely see the grave, and many corpses are discarded on the side of the road, and many of them have disemboweled, broken hands and limbs, which is unbearable to see. Fortunately, it was a cold winter, so it did not cause any epidemic, which was a great luck in misfortune.
Qiu Ming said angrily: "What about the magistrate here? Why don't you come out to take care of it, are they all dead? ”
Su Dai sighed: "Even if you don't die, it should be about the same, when I went north to ask for help, I saw Pingjiang County order to surrender to the enemy, Miluo County order to scatter all the wealth to raise courage to defend the city, now it seems that Miluo County must have been breached." Tyumen nodded and did not speak.
According to Tyumen's plan, he was supposed to settle in Wu City today, but it took too much time to collect the corpses and repair the graves along the way, so he could only choose to camp in the wilderness. Seeing that Qiuming's mood was a little unpleasant, Su Dai comforted him and said: "Actually, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that the two towns of Wushi and Xinshi are also dilapidated and undefendable, so it is better to have a clear vision in the field and convenient scheduling." Tyumen nodded again and did not speak, his face so gloomy that he could almost drip water.
In the evening, the team set up camp in front of a ruined temple. It is close to the mountains and water, and it is not far from the official road, so it is indeed a good camping spot. However, according to the scout's report, this ruined temple has a large number of coffins that are too late to be buried, and some of them do not even have coffins, and they are discarded in the empty rooms of the temple with straw mats or cloth sheets.
There are always such and such taboos when they are soldiers, whether it is Deng Zhouyong's mercenaries or the Jiangxia infantry brought by Lu Gong, they will not be willing to stay with so many dead people. However, everyone saw a lot of corpses along the way, and all of them were depressed and tired, so they no longer bothered to look for another place.
At dinner, Tyumen looked at the brightly colored meat in the bowl, and suddenly remembered the corpse meat he saw on the road, and immediately lost his appetite, so he just drank some clear soup and left the camp.
At this time, the moon had quietly risen, and the cold silver glow seemed to hide all the pain in the world, but it added a little melancholy to people for no reason. In order not to disturb the soldiers' meal, Tyumen quietly turned out of the camp gate and walked to the ruined temple next to it.
This temple must have been decaying for some years, the temple door is open, the beams and pillars are torn, and Bai Sensen's straw stubble is poking out from the holes in the wall. The few words on the temple door are hidden in the shadows, making it difficult for Tyumen to read at all times.
"No need to look at it anymore, I came here to see it when the sun hasn't set yet, and it's Wangshu Temple." Guo Jia's voice came from behind him.
Qiuming looked back, Dian Wei was standing beside Guo Jia, munching on the meat skewers in his hands, looking like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, which made Qiuming's mood inexplicably better. He smiled and asked, "Why did you guys come out too?" ”
Guo Jia glanced at him expressionlessly: "As the commander of the first army, you actually ran out of the camp alone, shouldn't we protect you with us?" Qiu Ming smiled, as if he felt that even the moonlight was not so cold.
Guo Jia continued: "Wangshu is the ancient moon god, and it was also mentioned in Qu Yuan's divorce, but I didn't expect that there was actually her temple here, it seems that the customs of Chu are really very different from those of the Central Plains." ”
Luna? Tyumen remembered the fantasy he had seen, the night elves, werewolves, etc., all of which seemed to have various connections with the moon god. Thinking about it, Guo Jia said again: "The sun belongs to the yang, the moon belongs to the yin, and the moon god is said to also guard the underworld, perhaps this is also the reason why the people nearby send so many dead people to Wangshu Temple." ”
