Chapter 243: Whether There Is a Conscience (I)
"What if you find it?" Ling Zidao was a little depressed: "That guy cast a spell because he didn't dare to enter Huangtai Fort. We can't get out, and we can't do anything about him if we find him. ”
"As long as I find it, I can ask Boss Ishihara River and General He Hu to help. Five thousand fighting beasts are cultivated, even the Xuantong Ancestor can win in battle!"
When Ling Zidao heard this, he immediately nodded: "I want to find a way, if I find it, I will inform you immediately." ”
Song Zheng nodded, said goodbye to Ling Zi, and returned to the barracks. Wang Jiu greeted him vigilantly and gestured to Song Zheng with his eyes. The scholar glanced at the barracks—the recruits who had not yet fallen, and the eyes of the recruits who had not yet fallen changed again: indifference, distrust, and secret blame.
Wang Jiu and Zhou Kou were on the left and right, protecting him for a turn in the camp. Behind them, someone couldn't help but say coldly: "Several of them are safe and sound, so naturally they won't do their best for us unrelated people." That's a spell, a catastrophe! Everyone knows how to avoid good fortune. ”
Song Zheng frowned, it wasn't that he didn't do his best, he was just at a loss.
Although he is the chief soldier, the level of trust between him and these recruits is very low, and the prestige established by the Demon Tree Killing the night before has been wiped out under the catastrophe.
Wang Jiu snorted, gritted his teeth and whispered: "What they said is right, they are not related to them, why should they compensate us for ourselves? If it weren't for us the night before, they would have become the fertilizer of the magic tree, I don't know how to be grateful, and I want to mock and persecute us, let them die!"
Song Zheng didn't speak, and after returning to his residence, he thought about it and took out the Heavenly Eye Bone Talisman.
He wants to save people, and this idea is very real: if he can save the lives of a group of people when he is not in danger, even if it is not a big deal to be misunderstood, he will definitely do it.
If it is a close friend and a lifelong friendship, such as Shi Yi, even if it endangers his own life, he will take the risk to try it. He believed that Shi Yi and they would do the same to themselves.
If it is a relative or lover, such as his father, even if it is a life for a life, he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself.
When the recruits say some ugly things in the face of great disaster, of course he is very uncomfortable when he listens to it, but he can not care about it, and he still has these bearings after reading the books of sages for more than ten years.
It's just that in the face of the "catastrophe" that had stubbornly hindered the Great Qin Empire from lifting for hundreds of years, what he could do was really limited. Contacting Ishihara River was his last effort.
As soon as Ishihara heard the name of "Great Calamity", he was immediately very cautious: "Are you sure?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, not only us, but Ling Zidao's side has also confirmed it. Song Zheng said: "Boss, I know that these people are all sinners, and the crimes they commit are all capital crimes, and some of them are villains, bastards, beasts, but since they want to defend the land to atone for their sins, please find a way to save them." ”
Ishihara Hado: "Okay, I'll leave it to me." ”
Song Zheng was worried that Ishihara would not do his best, after all, this was a "catastrophe", so he originally prepared a big talk, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Ishihara agreed happily - and it sounded very sure.
"Boss......" He was surprised, Ishihara River said: "After the battle of Longju Pass, from the human race to the demon race, everyone was deeply afraid of spells, and the old man on the demon clan's side didn't know that the seven heroes on the human side's side had invested a lot of resources to study spells and find ways to crack and fight back. ”
He smiled lightly in his tone: "Think about it, after the Battle of Longju Pass, have you ever heard of other battlefields, and spells have caused great damage?"
Song Zheng suddenly became enlightened: Indeed, no one is a fool, and it is impossible for a huge dynasty to be unprepared for spells.
In hundreds of years, we must have already developed various methods for spells.
"It's just that this is a secret of the imperial court, and if you, a new chief soldier of the border fortress, apply to the imperial court to break the spell, I am afraid that when all your men are dead, the imperial court will not react. But it's different with an old man coming forward. ”
Song Zheng was grateful, hugged his fists through the Tianyan Bone Talisman, and said sincerely: "Thank you seniors!"
"Hahaha!" Ishihara smiled, cut off contact, and quickly went to apply to the imperial court.
Song Zheng sat alone in the room, looking at the Tianyan Bone Talisman in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: he was trapped in the heavenly fire, isolated, and had relied on his own desperate struggle from beginning to end, plus an occasional little luck, to survive until now, so no matter what problem he faced, his first reaction was to solve it by himself.
If you can't solve it yourself, you feel that there is no solution to this problem. But they forgot that they could ask for help.
There was no foreign aid before, but now there is the Ishihara River. He let out a long breath and said from the bottom of his heart: "There are people in the court who are good officials, and there are people outside the prison who are good at doing things." ”
Since this matter can be solved, Song Zheng is not in a hurry. He did not go to the barracks again, and the drills were suspended.
But on this day, several waves of people came to the barracks one after another, all of whom begged to see the chief soldier and begged him to rescue those people. Song Zheng went out a few times, and said good words to reassure: Ben Jiang has already asked for help from Master Shi, and the imperial court has already had a solution, don't worry, wait patiently and you will definitely be able to survive this catastrophe.
But the recruits refused to believe these words.
After the waves returned, the emotions of the recruits were not only not appeased, but became more agitated. By the evening, more than a dozen more had fallen, and only about two hundred of the recruits who were still awake remained.
"Look for them!" Under the huge pressure, someone finally couldn't help it, and with a scream, he took the lead and rushed towards Song Zheng's residence: "What do you say about making meritorious contributions and defending the land to atone for your sins, this ghost place is simply for us to send to death!"
"Even if we all have capital crimes, just kill our heads, coax us to come here, our lives will be in danger at every turn, and no one cares about us, how can there be such a reason?
"It's better to kill that baby general, or have him execute us with a sin talisman than to be tortured like this!"
"Fight, let's rush up, he doesn't have time to kill us all, there is always a chance!"
Their fear, anger, hatred, and palpitations are like floods, and they need an outlet for catharsis, and at present, in Huangtai Fort, only Song Zheng may become this outlet.
The crowd of people with a low realm grabbed their swords, put on their battle armor, and ran wildly on the ground; the volley flight with a high realm had already rushed to the gate of Song Zheng's courtyard one step ahead.
Zhou Kou jumped like thunder, complaining and cursing: "Scholar, I told you a long time ago, these people are just a group of white-eyed wolves, don't care about them at all, let them die, is their greatest contribution to the entire Huangtai Fort! What do you think, you are so bothered and laborious, trying to find a way to save them, as a result, will they believe you?"
Song Zheng was calm, but he was really unmoved—he already knew what kind of people these recruits were, death row prisoners! What hope could he give to their virtue?
If these people died like this in the Holy Decree, he would send these guys to die as soon as possible, just like Zhou Kou.
But now, it doesn't have to be that way.
But he won't let these arrogant fools endanger his brother - I can save you, that's my ethics, it's none of your business. But I can't let you continue to do harm, that's what I do.
Zhao Xuan and Shi Yi each stood behind the courtyard gate, ready to prepare the Eastern Wilderness Crossbow and Mountain Splitting Blade.
Song Zheng shook his head lightly and said to the two, "I'll come." ”
He opened the courtyard door and signaled that Zhou Kou and Wang Jiu brought a Taishi chair and placed it behind the courtyard gate. Song Zheng sat upright, clasped his fingers with one hand and flicked, and the three thousand flying swords turned into fine and dense silver rays the size of mosquito feet, flowing back and forth like water between his five fingers.
In the other hand, he gently held up his own general soldier tiger talisman!
"Song Zheng!" "One of the Maihe Realm monks who rushed to the sky above the courtyard first asked in a frenzied voice: "Hand over the Tiger Talisman of the General Army, spare you from death!"
Song Zheng was silent.
A few more monks flew in the air behind him, cursing one after another: "The corpse is vegetarian, insensitive!"
"We don't trust you, hand over the general soldier tiger talisman, and we will go to negotiate with the imperial court. Although we are guilty, the court also said that as long as we enter the wolf barracks, the previous guilt will be written off, so why should we wait here for death?"
Song Zheng said lightly: "I have said everything that should be said, if you don't believe it, I can't help it." ”
On the ground, those cultivators with lower cultivation also rushed to the gate of the courtyard, shouting and shouting: "You are obviously indifferent because your brother did not suffer." ”
"You said you did your best, but what did you do? We only know that after the incident, you cultivated in the house and did nothing!"
"Lies and deception, let us wait for death, this is the case for all officials!"
"Kill this dog officer!"
Song Zheng stopped talking, his voice was cold, and his momentum was like a knife out of the sheath.
In the sky, a tiger roar came, and a Ming Jian Realm overhaul took advantage of Song Zheng's attention to be attracted by the cultivators below, suddenly made a move, turned his palm into a blood-red seal, and carved a man-eating ancient beast on the back of the seal, and the seal was entangled by countless unjust souls, and when it fell down in the air, it was going to crush the entire courtyard into powder!
Song Zheng's heart moved, and the general soldier tiger talisman urged the prisoner talisman, and the Ming Jianjing Realm overhaul exploded to pieces, blood and flesh burst everywhere, and several companions flying around him were drenched.
The cultivators who were shouting suddenly fell silent, but soon revealed their true colors as outlaws: "Kill!"
"Let's get on it!"
In Song Zheng's eyes, the lightning flashed again and again, and the sound of explosions around him kept sounding, and a famous cultivator was shattered!
Shi Yi looked at these people who were already crazy with a look of disdain: "It's just a catastrophe, and before it really endangers them, it's already almost crazy under pressure - if they experience the holy decree and really reach the point of life and death, I don't know how unbearable it will be!"
Of course, he can look down on these people, and he also has the capital of pride. They have all experienced many lives and deaths, and they have not had the same emotional breakdown as these people under the pressure.
Song Zheng would never have any woman's kindness, he was willing to save these people, but he would never risk himself or his brothers to save them.
Morality is his code of conduct, but it will not be his shackles!
