Wu Gen stood on a sand dune with a shirt wrapped around his head. He stepped on the sand under his feet and looked around with squinted eyes. There was always a feeling of unreality in his heart.
I never thought that the formation of the Path to Rebirth was so powerful that it actually created this barren land. After several days of hard work, everyone is exhausted. Are they choosing this place because they are afraid that those who participate in the trial will pass the level?
Behind him, Sun Hong climbed up nervously, imitating Wu Gen and looking around.
Bian He and others followed over, looked at this deserted place, and frowned, "Wu Wu, Commander, I'm surrounded by so many things that I don't know where the Wuhua Stone is. Where should I go?" When they were in the camp, the two men They were not familiar with each other, and Bian He was a long-time corps commander, not an idle person like Wu Gen who only had a name but no practical experience.
He looked up at the sun, dipped his fingers in saliva to test the direction of the wind, pointed in a direction and said, "Go there."
Before Bian He could say anything, a person behind him said sarcastically: "Is it possible that Commander Wu can also observe astronomy and geography, and know where to go by just counting with his fingers? In a place like this, if you go wrong, you can easily end up dead." , you might as well tell me why you are waiting, so that you can prepare in advance."
Wu Gen looked back at the other party and tilted his head with a mischievous look on his face, "How can I tell you that my corps commander has a special skill? When did the Xiang army become so unruly that even a small soldier dared to shout at the corps commander? Call."
"You." The man choked for a moment, and then said after a while, "Who doesn't know your background? If Zhang Yuan hadn't protected you, you might have become the captain of the corps. Besides, everyone is the same on the road to death, so how can we have any respect? You are so humble, don't show off your stinky airs."
"Hey, I've turned against you. It's said that a rat has skin but a human has no manners. You, a well-dressed, disrespectful person, don't dare to comment when adults are discussing matters.
After I get out, I must teach my stupid son a lesson for giving birth to such a disobedient and rebellious person. "
When it comes to swearing, Wu Gen has never been afraid of others. What kind of people are there in Dafeng Village? Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has learned a lot of true stories, and his tongue is naturally very sharp.
The man's face was red with anger. He was regarded as a grandson. His face was really unbearable and he was about to draw his sword.
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more quarrelsome, Bian He and Sun Hong quickly stepped forward to dissuade them.
"Don't hold me back, or I'll beat this guy who doesn't understand the rules to death." Wu Gen grabbed Sun Hong's arm and kept scolding him. Sun Hong had no choice but to reach out and hold Wu Gen. It took a long time to calm down the fight between the two.
Bian He pointed in another direction and said tentatively: "Wu Wu, why don't we go there and see that the terrain is flatter, maybe we can find some food and water."
Sun Hong glanced at Wu Gen nervously, fearing that the man would lose his temper and say something embarrassing again.
Wu Gen said angrily: "Okay, then follow Wu Zhang. However, the ugly words are ahead. Don't blame me if you can't find water."
"Okay, okay, let's go." Seeing that the other party had no objection, Bian He quickly greeted the people waiting to move forward.
After walking for a whole day, the seven of them hid under a tall sand dune to rest. After walking hard for so many days, everyone was already tired and hungry, and they never wanted to get up as soon as they lay down.
The food on Bian He and others had been exhausted, but Wu Gen still had half a bear's leg with him. Seeing several people looking at him eagerly, Wu Gen nervously hid the bear leg behind his back and looked around as if nothing had happened, with no intention of offering the bear leg.
Bian He had no choice but to come over and talk to Qi Xiang in a low voice, hoping to share some food.
Wu Gen looked reluctant and muttered, carefully cutting off less than four taels of meat from the bear's leg and letting several people share the food. He also said that the journey was long and required careful calculation.
The other people looked at Wu Gen angrily and put their hands on the handle of the knife. Bian He's eyes widened, and everyone just suppressed their anger and carefully ate the four ounces of meat.
Sun Hong couldn't stand it anymore, so he moved to Wu Gen and whispered, "Commander, don't we still have some hidden in our luggage? After all, we are in the army, so why don't we give more."
Wu Gen slapped him on the head and scolded him: "White-eyed wolf, turn your elbows outward. There will be a long time to come. If you eat it all at once, why don't you drink the northwest wind?"
Sun Hong left angrily and lay down far away from Wu Gen in anger.
At night, several people were hungry and thirsty, but Wu Gen was already snoring like thunder, still holding the bear's leg tightly in his arms. In his sleep, he murmured in his mouth and took two licks from time to time.
Bian He and the other five stood up, looked at each other, and gathered around Wu Gen. When he reached Wu Gen, Bian He knelt down and reached out to touch the bear's legs on Wu Gen's body.
As soon as his hand was stretched out, Wu Gen stood up suddenly and clamped the other person's hand tightly, "Wuzhang Bian, it's so late and you still don't rest. I have an old illness, and it's easy to kill people in my dreams."
Frightened, Bian He wanted to retract his hand, but he didn't expect that the opponent was so strong that he couldn't move at all. He had to laugh and said, "Brother Wu, don't get me wrong. I'm just worried about the cold at night and want to cover Brother Wu." Some clothes."
Sun Hong also woke up at this time and looked at the people standing and sitting blankly.
Wu Gen looked at the other party with a half-smile but not a smile, "Oh, it's really touching that Commander Bian cares so much about Pao Ze. He was very considerate when he placed iron caltrops under my saddle."
"What a caltrop, I'm afraid Wu Zhang misunderstood. We are all members of the Xiang Army, how could we do such a stupid thing." Bian He's eyes flickered, and he looked back at the four people behind him.
Wu Gen chuckled and said, "Then I have wronged Commander Bian. There were hundreds of people gathered in the willow tree that day, and they didn't know each other. The only people who could recognize my mount and put the caltrops under the saddle were the people in the Xiang army. "Yes or no, Chief Bian." He put the broken knife on his face and patted it gently.
Bian He had a sincere look on his face, "Wuchang Wu has really wronged you. Chief Zhang personally told me that I would take care of you, so how could you do such dirty things?"
Suddenly, Wu Gen slapped the ground, twisted his waist, jumped up, held the broken knife behind his back and slashed backwards. With two clanks, the broken sword cut off the steel sword that came from behind. The force of the sword did not slow down, and it struck the attacker's body hard. However, it even broke the armor on the opponent's body, almost cutting his body into two halves.
The person who made the sneak attack was the man who had argued with Wu Gen during the day. His body fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of confusion still on his face.
Bian He rolled over and returned to his side, pulling out the sword from his waist with a ferocious look on his face.
Wu Gen stood next to the corpse, with the tip of the knife downwards and his head raised high. He looked at the other party with a arrogant expression, "Commander Bian, this is the friendship between the robes and the robes, secretly carrying out secret operations and sneak attacks."
There was silence in the field, only the blood from the tip of the knife dripped from time to time, making a snapping sound.
After a long while, Bian He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I had someone put the caltrops under your saddle. I was just afraid that you two would change rides, so I also put one under that guy's saddle.
It was also my idea to enter the road to the afterlife together. I thought I was just waiting for an opportunity to kill you. It's just that you pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, but you were actually killed. "
Wu Gen shook his head gently, "It's really you who did it. It's not bad, but why did you put so much effort into it? I don't think I have offended you on weekdays."
Bian He heard this and sneered, "Indeed, the two of us have no grudges. It would be fine on ordinary days. We can't go out together in the army, and we have to help you. But Zhang Yuan has been trying to make us obey you, both openly and secretly. , to help you complete your journey to the afterlife.
Thinking that we have the same status and are both servants, why should we give up such an opportunity to change our fate against the will of heaven? That's why I was dissatisfied and decided to get rid of you. Anyway, there are many people dying on the road to death, and I don’t care if you are one more. "
Wu Gen suddenly realized that it was Bian He's jealousy that caused him to plot to harm himself.
Sun Hong was stunned, he did not expect such a result.
That day at Liushuji, if Wu Gen hadn't been careful, he would have been harmed by Bian He. He would have died in vain under the horses' hooves, so he said angrily: "Since we don't want to help each other, we can just separate, why are we still forcing each other so hard?" "
"Separate? Who allowed you two to have food on you? In this situation, even a grain of food can save your life. How could I let you two go?" Bian He said with a ferocious smile, pointing at Sun Hong with the tip of his knife, "Boy, I advise you to be aware of current affairs and not to attack that Wu Gen. With the steel knives in the hands of the four of me, it will be easy to kill you two."
Sun Hong's face turned red with anger, "It's a shame that you are still members of the Xiang Army, but you are so vicious. I am ashamed to be associated with you and others." After saying this, he walked up to Wu Gen, pulled out the knife from his waist with great effort, and stared at the opponent fiercely. , but his legs trembled unconsciously.
Wu Gen smiled and said: "It's true that you have some faith. I'll take care of you all the way."
Turning to look at Bian He, he pointed at the corpse on the ground, "Are you confident that you can kill me? Who will come up first? The knife in my hand has not drunk enough blood today. I want to see who is willing to sacrifice the knife first." As he spoke, he slowly raised the broken knife in his hand and pointed it at Bian He and others.
Bian He and others couldn't help but look at each other. Wu Gen's sword just now was really fierce, killing a living person in the blink of an eye. When encountering such a ruthless person, no one wants to be the one who stands out. After all, as Bian He said, everyone With equal status, why should we take chestnuts from the fire for others?
Seeing the four people hesitating, Wu Gen took a heavy step forward, "You cowardless people, come quickly and die. It's cold tonight, so I'd like to take this opportunity to warm up."
Bian He just wanted to step forward, but when he saw the hesitant expressions on the faces of the people around him, he couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart. These people were all bewitched by themselves on the road, and they didn't have much friendship. How could they fight to the death for themselves? It was impossible for them to rob me after they died.
After thinking for a while, Bian He said: "Wu Gen, don't be arrogant. Although we tried to kill you first, you also killed one person and the grudges were wiped out. From now on, we will not offend each other, and we will fight for opportunities on the road to death. Farewell." "As he said that, he winked at a few people and slowly backed away.
Hearing this, Wu Gen stood with his sword across the sword and sneered: "Haha, for the sake of fighting in the army today, I will spare your life. When we meet again, we are enemies and we will not spare our lives. Get out of here."
Seeing the figures of several people disappearing into the darkness, Sun Hong was a little anxious, "Just let these people go?"
Wu Gen didn't move and whispered: "What else? Is there really a fight with four people on the other side? You stand firmer and don't shake your legs. I have exhausted all my strength by killing that person just now. I finally managed to trick him away." , Don’t let anyone see the truth.”
That thunderbolt move just now really used up Wu Gen's strength. This pose was originally created when I was on the Tianluo River, watching the huge waves, one after another, endless. I felt it in my heart, so I created my own pose and named it "Tianluo".
This move can be used to slash continuously in one move, but with Wu Gen's strength, he can only use two slashes at the moment. Even these two cuts took a lot of energy, and the blood was exhausted. Just now, I just held on, relying on the momentum to scare a few people away.
When Sun Hong heard this, a chill ran down his back. He quickly followed Wu Gen's example and stood up straight, "Brother Wu, you just deliberately didn't distinguish between moisturizing foods. Do you have some intentions?"
"Of course. Without irritating a few people, how can we force them to take action as soon as possible? It's not easy to live with a few venomous snakes all day long. It's not easy to live in fear."
"You didn't explain it earlier, which made me sulky all night."
"You idiot, if I hadn't forced you away and stayed with me, those people wouldn't have been allowed to attack you first."
"Ah, how about we escape while those people leave."
"Escape? Could it be that you want to die? What if those people haven't gone far yet and peek in the dark and see the two of us escaping. They will understand that we are strong and capable people. It would be weird if they don't catch up and chop us into pieces."
"Oh, how long do we have to stand there?"
"Just sit down. My legs are a little weak and I can't sit down. Please give me a hand."
"Brother, I always feel that you are a little unreliable."
"roll."
The night was uneventful, and early the next morning, the two ate the remaining bear legs, repacked and hit the road.
