Chapter 232 He is more like a human.
The guard army is not very large, only about a dozen cavalry.
Unlike the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty,
the Great Wall Guards were not controlled by the imperial court and could not listen to orders but also to propaganda.
Logically speaking, this is absolutely impossible for the entire court to accept.
But this is true whether it is the Great Wall Army of the Northern Territory
or the Boundless Sea
.
They do not belong to the court, they only belong to the nation!
The Seven Kingdoms of the past are also good.
They are still the people of today's Zhou Dynasty.
They all have the same name: Xia people!
Legend has it that in the course of time, the Xia Emperor created humans, and thus the Xia people came into being, and the first empire was born: the Xia Kingdom!
The Great Wall Guards and the Boundless Navy are the two sharp swords that guard the Xia people's territory!
The border troops are destroyed!
The Xia people will be destroyed!
Border troops exist.
Zexia people have no worries!
Li Bai once told himself that in ancient times or earlier, there were records of battles between the Boundless Army and the Great Wall Army and the White Walkers and Frost Giants.
Like moths, they kept swooping on him.
Blood stained the Great Wall red!
Corpses filled most of the boundless sea.
But even so, no one retreated!
Until...
the Great Wall Army no longer exists!
Straight way...
no one in the boundless army stood up again.
This is their belief and will...
even though they are mortals.
But the body of a mortal is comparable to that of a god.
Therefore, in response to the arrival of the Great Wall Guards, Chen Luo stood up and saluted from a distance.
This is not how it is.
It just comes from deep-seated awe.
For a group of people who have spent tens of thousands of years and have never shied away from the same duty generation after generation is the reverence of the people.
The squad leader of the dozen cavalry guards had the surname: Jiang.
It's a coincidence.
As a person from Kyoto...
I came out this time to investigate the evil in nearby villages, and also wanted to destroy the evil.
This is not impossible.
Soldiers are full of energy!
This point comes with the emergence of incense and the advent of the age of cultivating immortals. Their Qi and blood are more effective than hundreds of years ago!
During the Yongle period...
Emperor Yongle used a million-strong army to massacre thousands of Qi Condensation Realm cultivators in Qingyang Mountain.
One hundred thousand troops were lost!
This battle is the beginning of the battle to slay the immortals!
It has also established the current pattern of unifying the Great Zhou Dynasty and controlling the cultivation of immortality among sects all over the world!
Now, despite the fact that there are only a dozen or so knights in the guard army, they still dare to fight to the death with the evil spirits based on their energy and blood.
Just when they arrived here, they knew that this time their mission was completed.
"Aren't you afraid that we are evil spirits?"
Chen Luo asked.
a dog.
A fox.
a cat.
There is also a snake.
No matter how you look at this lineup, it’s quite strange, right?
Do they trust themselves now?
"I wouldn't have believed it in the past."
Captain Jiang said with a smile: "It's just that the golden lotuses all over the ground have made us let down our guard. After all, if even the human Buddha is an evil spirit, then the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably be destroyed. It's chaos!"
Chen Luo was ashamed.
A human Buddha would not dare to act like this.
But this old eunuch in the world didn't feel guilty at all.
He heard that Chen Luo wanted to go to the border.
Captain Jiang was quite happy.
So...
he led Chen Luo and others there.
This time, Chen Luo got on the horse.
It's not a white dragon horse,
it's a border horse.
During the dozens of miles, the sun was just right, and with the guards leading us, we walked extraordinarily fast.
However, after half a day's journey, we saw the giant ice wall that was a hundred feet high from a distance.
It lies there like a giant dragon...
shining brightly in the sun!
There is no beginning or
end in sight.
"We are so insignificant."
Cat Lady said suddenly.
"It's a bit small."
Chen Luo also responded...
He once lay prone in the void and watched the reincarnation of people!
He once killed a real dragon with one sword, shocking the world and shaking the world of immortals!
He has also walked through the four seasons of this world and witnessed the various conditions of the world...
But he is standing here today.
Looking up...
some are just insignificant and deeply powerless.
"This Great Wall is very high, isn't it?"
Everyone is already used to facing the cat lady talking.
Many foxes opened their mouths along the way.
Even more so with the dog.
So, this cat is talking abnormally?
It would be a bit abnormal for a human Buddha to have few followers.
Captain Jiang stood next to Chen Luo, raised his head, and looked at the Great Wall:
"When I saw this Great Wall for the first time, I was more shocked than all of you... I had thought about how high, how big, and how long this Great Wall would be before. !
But only when I saw it, I realized that what I had thought and guessed in the past was far from correct." "
This Great Wall...can't be built by ordinary people...I guess it must be the great supernatural power of the immortal, Did you just rise up from the ground?"
Chen Luo smiled.
On this point, he agreed with Captain Jiang's words.
It is difficult to create without human effort.
And...
this immortal may be a real immortal.
This is not the kind of person who dares to call himself an immortal even if he is condensing his energy.
At least with my current strength, I can't do it.
Another hour.
Finally arrived at the foot of the Great Wall.
There is a city here!
For Yanmen Pass!
Exiting Yanmen Pass is the Ice Forest.
Just when he arrived, Chen Luo saw a giant...
wholly blue.
Like frost, it stands in front of Yanmen Pass.
The soldiers set up wooden frames around it...
five or six meters high.
This giant is headless.
Not really mindless.
But this head was placed not far away, also built with wooden frames and surrounded.
"What is this?"
Chen Luo asked.
Captain Jiang said: "Frost Giant!"
He said...
but his voice became a little deeper.
In order to kill this giant, they paid an unprecedented heavy price.
The nearly 10,000-strong guard army turned into ice sculptures.
In the end, it turned into ice slag,
and not even the bones could be left behind...
Chen Luo was silent.
No more asking.
He had never heard of the Frost Giant Rebellion in the past.
What surprised him was that they actually killed a giant here...
but something from the legend appeared in front of him.
The shock itself is actually quite surprising.
Therefore, talking too much seems unnecessary.
As for the death of so many guardsmen...this is inevitable...
it is different from the physical immunity of the White Walkers.
Frost giants are immune to magic.
To kill him, other than getting close, it would be difficult for them to find other methods...
But...
"No one has been assimilated?"
Once attacked by a frost giant, leaving wounds or something, he will become a frost giant in a short time... …
And this is also the reason why the Frost Giants are invincible.
The more you kill!
The more giants there are...
how can we not get a headache?
"They left no trouble for the brothers."
Captain Jiang said.
With just this sentence, Chen Luo knew...
"The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty owe too much to the Great Wall Guards in the North and the Borderless Army in the South..."
Generation...
generation...
generation after generation!
Even if you live a poor life, you will not be able to make up for it.
"Perhaps this is also the reason why we joined the Great Wall Guards in the past, right?"
Captain Jiang said.
Chen Luo nodded.
"Maybe one day, I will become one of them."
"If so, it will be the glory of the Great Wall Guards." "
But not at this time."
"Understood!"
He...
has something more important. Things have to be done.
This time... I was just passing by. Entered the city.
Captain Jiang took Chen Luo to the command post.
I met the leader of the guard...
he was an old man.
The body is hunched.
With a goatee mustache.
When I saw Chen Luo, he was lying in the yard drinking wine and warming himself by the fire.
But he is such a wretched old man.
Captain Jiang, anyone in the guard army, and
even Li Bai mentioned it in his letter.
There was spontaneous admiration in his tone.
The old man has only one surname...
no first name.
He said that when entering this city, there is actually only one name: Guards!
There are just too many guards.
An army of more than a million people... It's not good to use them all.
So he kept his last name.
Everyone calls him Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao was happy for Chen Luo's arrival.
Very few people come to the Great Wall in the North...
so Old Zhao is very happy when someone comes to visit.
When he learned Chen Luo's name, Old Zhao was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and thought for a long time.
It took him a long time to pat his head.
"Bu Zheng, Eunuch Chen Luo?"
This great Zhou Bu Zheng...
I didn't expect it to be the young man in front of me.
He had heard of it.
And he also knows a lot.
It's not that he has to know...
it's just that someone was here decades ago, talking about it in front of him every day, and it's hard not to know.
"If this were based on seniority, I'm afraid Lao Zhao would call my father-in-law Taizu, right?"
Lao Zhao sighed.
"Forget it, let's discuss it individually. The guards never talk based on age."
When he said this, his eyes rolled.
Chen Luo smiled.
I won’t expose this old Zhao.
He likes this old man...
Such is the fate between people.
When he met Captain Jiang, Chen Luo trusted him.
When he met Lao Zhao, Chen Luo also liked him.
In this case, there is no need to worry too much about etiquette...
...
Chen Luo stayed at Yanmen Pass for about ten days,
the first three days.
Commander Yu and Lao Zhao drank and chatted.
The drunk daughter is red.
They talked about the Frost Giants, the Great Wall Guards, and what happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty over the years.
Lao Zhao grew up on the Great Wall in the north.
According to what he said, he didn't know who his parents were for a long time...
I only know that he has memories, which are here on the Great Wall.
He said...
and pointed to the city wall.
The city wall is ice!
Over the past tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many meters thick it has been...
It's said to be a city wall.
But it is dozens of meters thick.
But there was a place where Lao Zhao pointed out, which looked like a dragon clinging to it.
he asked Chen Luo.
"Do you know how that appeared?"
Chen Luo shook his head.
"Lao Zhao, every time I drink, I like to stand there and pee... and over time, it turns into a python!
But that was when I was a child. After I turned ten, I started peeing in the direction of the Ice Forest. !
That place... is even more spectacular!"
Chen Luo: ...
He didn't want to talk about this topic.
Tasty!
And...
it hurts people's self-esteem!
He thought that if he waited for his two ounces of flesh to recover, the real dragon would come to the world.
So thinking about this made me look down on Lao Zhao.
Chen Luo also asked about the ice giant.
The frost giant was killed by Lao Zhao.
Therefore, he knew more...
Chen Luo knew this, but after hearing that it was Old Zhao who killed the Frost Giant, the Cat Lady couldn't help but read more.
Maybe...
she didn't know how this wretched old man could kill the Frost Giant!
But it didn't ask.
Some things can only be asked at the right opportunity.
But now, it is obviously not the right opportunity.
But when he heard Chen Luo say that he was going to the Northern Territory, Lao Zhao felt a little emotional: "I also want to see what the Northern Territory is like. It's just a pity... In this life, I don't have this
opportunity
. ."
He...
can't live without the Great Wall!
There is only one way to leave here, and that is death!
"Father, can you promise me something?"
"Please tell me."
"If you and I wait for my father-in-law to come back, we can drink three hundred cups at Yanmen Pass... You can tell the old man about the scenery of the Northern Territory. How about it?"
Chen Luo nodded.
If that day comes, he will explain clearly to Old Zhao what he has seen and heard over the years.
…
from the fourth day to the sixth day.
Chen Luo took Xiaobai and the others throughout Yanmen Pass...
and also appreciated the beauty of the entire Great Wall.
It is different from previous cities.
Yanmen Pass is full of murderous atmosphere...
the school grounds.
Hundreds of thousands of guards wearing armor, cloaks, and spears stood on the square!
They lined up neatly.
When there is silence,
all cicadas are banned.
When the sword is drawn,
the energy and blood surge to the sky.
Their swords never knew what fear was.
Their fighting spirit can shake even the mountains and eclipse the sun and moon.
"How are they?"
Lao Zhao asked Chen Luo.
"Very good!"
Chen Luo said.
"How good is it?"
"The best in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
However...
Old Zhao shook his head when he heard this.
"But this is far from enough!"
He looked towards the ice forest.
It seemed like I had seen the Daqian Country further away...
"Not to mention the place outside the Ice Forest, there are the Frost Giants, the mountains they can't cross... They are far from enough, their road is still long! "
Because I've seen it before, I'm afraid!
Because I have fought before, I know the difference.
The Frost Giant at the gate of Yanmenguan City is still there...
The battle in the past is even closer to our eyes and has never dispersed.
Chen Luo didn't answer.
Because I don’t know how to answer.
Of course, you may also feel that you are not qualified to answer this question.
Compared to what they want.
I am not as good as myself!
The seventh day to the tenth day.
Chen Luo chants sutras and chants on the wall of the Great Wall!
The sutra is: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra".
This is the most commonly used method of salvation in Buddhism, and it is also the easiest to use.
The Taoist texts are "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Tian Zun Speaks of the Wonderful Sutra of Saving Suffering", "Tai Shang Dao Jun Speaks of the Wonderful Sutra of Solving Wrong and Eradicating Sins" and "Yuan Shi Tian Zun Speaks of the True Sutra of Reborn in Heaven and Obtaining the Way"... Chen
Luobu Knowing what he could do, he chose to chant sutras and chants for them on the Great Wall.
Maybe it’s useless!
But it might work.
At least try your best.
Within these three days... everyone saw the golden light that filled the sky, and also saw the golden lotus and rainbow clouds all over the city.
"Do you know why I like to follow him?"
Looking at the man sitting on the city wall.
Bailong asked.
"Perhaps it's because Master looks like a human being?"
Cat Lady said.
Fellow Taoist Bailong nodded...
yes!
He... although he is cultivating immortality and walking the Tao, what he can do is human affairs.
Far more than the clay statues sitting in the front hall of the temple, the detached immortals in the deep mountain fairyland are more like a human being.
