Chapter 160: Waking Up from a Dream

Thanks: The day after tomorrow it snowed @ Baidu, o Lao Ji O, Konoha tea, I have a day to support, monthly passes, red envelopes, and greeting cards!

..................

The next day, the remnants of the bear army set out on their way home.

When he first set out on the expedition, the king's banner was unfurled, the horses were flying in the snow, and the 300,000 army was mighty. Now there are only more than 30,000 people left on the way home, and they have lost their armor one by one and look panicked.

The snow is gone, and the heavens and the earth are becoming more and more desolate.

Gusts of wind and sand swept over the wasteland hills, and then slapped the body and face, making people feel a little sad and embarrassed, and also making the panicked footsteps more hurried.

The 100 or so old brothers who broke the camp followed the ranks of the remnants all the way south.

Fortunately, the brothers were all riding horses, so there was a little less hard work.

And after Wu Ji broke the drinking ring again, he was silent. Whether it was Baofeng and other old brothers talking to him, or praying for fault on the way, he ignored them all, just lowered his head and was alone in a daze. Even if he rested at night, he didn't eat or drink, and lay down by the campfire and fell asleep, judging the two of them with the previous general who was in danger with Zhizhu in his chest.

Qi Sanren comforted everyone, saying that General Gongsun couldn't bear to kill too much, and was repenting and redeeming himself, just waiting to break free from the demonic barrier, and in the future, he would definitely stay away from the hustle and bustle of the red dust, and become a sage who is kind to others and purifies all sentient beings, and so on.

Hearing this, the brothers who were still worried suddenly relaxed.

Gongsun Gongzi was born in a gentleman, became famous in Qinglou Washe, originally a vassal and elegant weak scholar, although he has a strong and inexplicable ability, but now he has to kill ruthlessly, make a decision immediately, and take on the safety of his brothers, and turn the tide on the dangerous battlefield, it is really difficult for him.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and another five days passed.

The bonfire burns out, and the day will break.

Sleeping figures lay at the bottom of the hillside, and the horses snorted softly in the morning breeze.

Blameless lifted the rain cloth covering his head, sat up slowly, stunned for a moment, and then blew lightly, and a wisp of fire ignited in the ashes of the campfire.

He looked down at the tattered brocade robe and the stains all over his body, shook his head, and stretched out his hands, trying to warm himself with the help of the campfire. The situation at this time seems to be no different from the embarrassment when he fled. Although the cold and heat have long been gone, I still feel cold in my heart. Close to light and warmth, who says it's not human nature!

There was a stumbling noise, and then someone approached.

"Thinking that the more than 200,000 dead souls are still not far away, it makes people sigh! The so-called dust is sometimes over, and the years of waking up are long. I don't know if you have been meditating hard for days, Mr. Wu, have you broken through the mental barrier and achieved success?"

Blameless glanced at him, and his expression was blank.

Qi Sanren sat cross-legged by the campfire, smiled slightly, and then transmitted: "Hehe, are you really stupid?"

He is still unfathomable, and in a blink of an eye, his old state sprouted: "It's rare that you are silent, and I am happy to be idle for a few days." Look at ......" An extra jade slip appeared in his hand and gestured: "Although you know several sets of escape techniques, you are not proficient in any of them. And "Nine Star Jue" has a good background, so it shouldn't be. So this way took your method and pondered it for a few days, and finally figured out the reason. ”

The words of the old way are very tempting.

Wuyi stretched out his hand to take the jade slip, bowed his head and pondered.

"The only remaining sets of retreat techniques in the "Nine Star Formula" seem to be complete, but only the method of performing exercises is missing. It's like water without a source, a tree without roots, no matter how you use it, after all, it can only have its shape and it is difficult to have real power!"

Qi Sanren held his long beard in his hand, and said proudly: "This way has been pondering for a few days, perceiving the clues, and finding the know-how, so I will match you with the method of doing the exercises that you are familiar with." Although it is not enough to present the full picture of the "Nine Star Jue", fifty or sixty percent of the power should also be there, hehe......"

Blameless looked up, looking puzzled. I couldn't be entangled before, so I gave the "Nine Star Jue" to Lao Dao, who would have thought that people had not been idle, and he had figured out the doorway?

"Don't look at me like that, it's scary!"

Qi Sanren glared at him, and said: "In my opinion, among the several sets of escape techniques, only the Underworld Technique is the fastest, and with all its strength, it is not difficult to go hundreds of miles. You might as well specialize in one of them and then integrate them. I can't teach it by hand, and you're not my apprentice!"

Wu blame didn't say anything, and once again concentrated in the jade slip.

Seeing that his depressed expression eased slightly, Qi Sanren smiled slightly, and said: "You kid is self-righteous, but you are smart but you are mistaken by cleverness, and you don't need to use the fastest escape technique, but you have to practice the most thankless earth walking technique." It is necessary to know that walking through yin and yang, swimming in all things, and not being hindered by the five elements, is the essence of the underworld. You've got a bargain!"

Blameless frowned, and his expression was the same as before.

The trumpet sounded, and a ray of morning light filled the land. The sleeping figures got up one after another and continued their journey home......

It was more than ten days, and it was only a hundred miles away from the capital.

The marching procession, however, stopped, and was to rest for two days on the way. For no other reason, the capital had already learned of the battle situation, and sent the royal nobles to come to the army with gold, silver, wine and other goods, saying that it was to let the soldiers wash away the dust and raise their spirits. At that time, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children will greet each other in the capital to see the grand occasion of the triumph of the king.

As a result, the brothers who broke the camp had to rest on the spot.

Although it is still unexpectedly cold, and the raging wind and sand are far away. Under the bright skylight, Xinxin is a tender green from far and near, the clear stream flows slowly, and a few birds chirp melodiously, and before you know it, it is close to the early spring season of March.

In the stream between the valleys, a large group of soldiers frolicked in the water.

Wu Yi walked from the stream to the shore, his dirty clothes were wet and hung with water traces, and with a slight shock of spiritual power, a layer of mist flashed up and down his body. He found a clean shirt and boots from the bone-ring, and then sat cross-legged, combing his hair all over his head, and a faint look on his white, thin cheeks.

The brothers who broke the camp were about to return home, and finally showed their long-lost smiling faces, one by one, naked and washed in the water. Either way, I survived.

Qi Sanren sat aside, holding his long beard, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bao Feng rubbed his body a few times, "banged" out of the water, limped ashore, and his bronzed skin was full of new and old scars. He walked to a pile of brand-new clothes, picked out a well-fitting and properly dressed, and turned around and greeted: "It's cold and cold, don't freeze, there are military uniforms and armor sent by the capital here, and everyone has a share of it!"

Some people disagreed, and said: "Damn, although the new clothes and new armor are also bright, they make people have a guilty conscience!"

Someone said indignantly: "The more than 200,000 brothers who died in the war are not remembered, could it be that they were all blown away by the strong wind......

Some people were puzzled: "You and I are obviously defeated, why do you lie about triumph?"

Someone snorted: "His Royal Highness Ji Lu has been wiped out, and the general trend has gone." And His Royal Highness Shaodian has left 30,000 elites, and now that he is in the limelight, seeing that the throne is in hand, of course he has to celebrate. The struggle for fame and fortune is nothing more than that, but it only suffers the common people......"

Someone sighed: "After you and I go home, how should we face our fathers and fellow villagers? This time, I do not ask for meritorious service, but I hope that the deceased will have a pension, and that his wife and children will have a way to live......

Bao Feng saw that the brothers were full of complaints, and the more they talked, the more frustrated they became, and he couldn't help but shout: "Shut up the fuck!

Everyone looked at the sitting figure on the shore, and then honestly closed their mouths, not only that, but there was also a look of awe in their eyes.

The broken camp can still survive more than 100 brothers, thanks to the wisdom and courage of Gongsun Gongzi, and if he hadn't defended Huwei Gorge and turned the tide, I was afraid that the 300,000 troops with bears would be buried around him. Following such a general, the brothers were convinced with admiration.

After everyone finished washing, they changed their robes and armor, and they suddenly looked new, and their depression was swept away.

An armored guard rode over and shouted: "His Royal Highness Shaodian invites General Gongsun to go to the king's tent to celebrate the feast-" Before the words fell, the man turned his horse's head and whipped away.

Bao Feng took his brothers to raise their hands to congratulate, and they were honored one by one.

Wu Yi still sat silently, unhurriedly tied up his messy hair. When he picked up the jade crown beside him and was about to put it on, he couldn't help but raise it in front of his eyes and look at it for a while, then dropped it and replaced it with a hosta and inserted it into his bun.

Qi Sanren opened his eyes at the right time, slapped his ass and stood up, urging: "It's rare to go to the banquet, don't delay the time......"

Shi Shiran got up, still silent, waved his hand at Baofeng and the others, and turned to leave the bank of the stream. He was dressed in a cyan silk robe, tall and elegant, as if he had become the teacher of the year, but his steady steps and indifferent and melancholy look had a little more deep and inexplicable bearing.

Not far from the shore, more than 100 war horses and horses gathered together to nibble on the tender grass on the ground. Scattered on all sides of the valley were groups of camps, large and small, and flags were waving in the wind.

It was the middle of noon.

Wu Yi walked to a war horse with a black sword, turned over and rode up, and without waiting for Qi Sanren to follow, he walked forward with his feet and the belly of the horse.

"It's a good thing to go to the banquet, how can you leave your own way-"

Qi Sanren rode up and followed, and when he complained, he was already walking side by side, and then asked: "You have been depressed for half a month, even if someone speaks and ignores it, do you practice the "Nine Star Formula", and how about entering the realm?" Still no one paid attention, he couldn't help but squint and look: "Boy, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb for me!"

Wujiao's expression was distant, and he replied softly: "My heart hurts and I don't want to speak!"

Qi Sanren was slightly stunned: "Oh...... Could it be that the demon in your heart is still there? With the body of a mortal, forcibly storing two divine swords, it is inevitable that there will be endless troubles, and this Dao will help you slowly recuperate!"

He said: "I'm not a disease of reason, I'm just afraid that the pill will be difficult to eradicate." ”

Qi Sanren was a little confused, and said in surprise: "When did your kid become so unfathomable, and tell me clearly!"

No one is guilty, and there seems to be a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.

More than ten miles away, a row of tall tents appeared in front of them......
