Every time ten people died, a clay Buddha was built with mud and stones on the dangerous peak.
Gouzi's body was left outside, which was the gatekeeper's helplessness. His mother-in-law also packed up her clothes and returned to the city to live with her children. Gouzi's mother-in-law did not blame Sun Zikai. Women actually did the same thing all the time. Be prepared, they understand that none of the gatekeepers can die well, and she will have such a day sooner or later.
Sun Zikai and Lao Zhang built a clay Bodhisattva together, and the names of the ten gatekeepers were engraved on the clay Bodhisattva. Only then did he realize that Gouzi also had the surname Sun and was his own family member.
Lao Zhang patted Sun Zikai on the shoulder and comforted: "I don't blame you, you are still young, but you have to carry this hatred, you owe him."
Sun Zikai's face was very calm, and he said, "Old Zhang, don't the people in the city care about this place?"
"It's in charge of food and drink expenses. We'll take care of all the food and drink expenses. We can eat as much as we want in the city for free. Even if someone dies, they will report to the city. Soon, new people will make up for it."
Hundreds of barbarians gathered outside "Ansheng Pass". They were all angry because their children were killed and clamored at the gate. However, they had no siege equipment and only a few or two bows, so they just built up their momentum and temporarily attacked " There is no threat to "Ansheng Pass", but the gatekeepers dare not be careless, and everyone is always guarding the wall.
Sun Zikai said: "Sooner or later, the gate will be breached. There are many of them. They will burn it with fire and smash it with stones. Sooner or later, they will break open the gate."
Lao Zhang replied: "The situation has been reported back. Someone will come from the city."
Sun Zikai walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the situation outside the pass indifferently. He squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it gently. The stone flew farther and farther in the air, fell faster and faster, and finally hit the ground. A barbarian's head was directly punched through the hole. Now they were even more angry and rushed towards the gate one after another. The gatekeepers could only shoot arrows desperately, but the barbarians put straw mats on their heads, which not only blocked the arrows , also obtained the arrow, which in turn shot towards the wall.
Lao Zhang glanced at the child sitting on the edge of the cliff worriedly, and was even more worried about the danger on the wall. Lao Yang went back to the city in person to call for people. At this time, he had to stand with his subordinates, and he turned back to give instructions. After a few words, Lao Zhang ran down the dangerous peak.
Sun Zikai sat with his legs dangling in the air. When the wind blew, it seemed that he would fall off the dangerous peak. He stared at the cliff in trance. After a long time, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he jumped down.
But instead of jumping off the cliff to commit suicide, he clung firmly to the cliff, and then climbed down along the crack step by step. Everyone's attention was focused on the gate. No one saw it, and it was impossible for anyone to think of it. On the cliffs that are more than fifty feet high on both sides of the wall, there will be a child climbing. The child is all muscular, and it seems that he has trained for two years just for today.
An hour later, he really climbed to the bottom, glanced at the gate indifferently, and then ran towards the bushes on foot. No one noticed him along the way. In the middle, on the small high slope, he Hiding in the grass, he was not anxious at all when doing things, but very calm. He had just exhausted most of his energy and needed to rest. So, he lay in the grass until night.
As night fell, Lao Zhang ordered to set fire to the wall. This was a helpless move because there were not enough arrows. Fire was the key to dealing with the layers of straw mats of the barbarians, but why was it not used before? Because it is a double-edged sword. As expected, the barbarians held burning straw mats and crashed into the gate. Sooner or later, the gate would be breached. No one could sleep tonight. The women behind the gate packed up their things and fled to the city, but Lao Yang had not come back yet. What happened decades ago may happen again today.
In the darkness, Sun Zikai got up and walked slowly to the grove. The old and weak women and children of the barbarians had just buried the dead. They were all resting after being exhausted. There was a wooden frame on the outside of the grove. Above was a dismembered, bloody corpse, that of a dog.
Sun Zikai looked calm, took out a dagger from his leg, and quietly climbed up a tree. At this time, a female barbarian took her child to the tree to relieve herself. Sun Zikai took the opportunity to fall down, and hit the woman's head with the dagger. It penetrated deeply into her neck, and the woman fell to the ground without making a sound. The child behind the woman opened his mouth in surprise when the cold dagger penetrated his throat.
After doing this, he was very calm and quietly moved into the crowd. The barbarians closed their eyes tiredly after going through a day's events, but they did not expect that once they closed their eyes, they would not be able to open them again.
He had studied medicine and knew where to stab. His voice was small, his reaction was small, and he died quickly. One by one, no one noticed that the people around them were being slaughtered. Soon, only some warm bodies were left beside the burning fire.
However, he didn't find his target. He kept killing and searching all the way, cutting down the throats of everyone he could see and those who were breathing. Finally, a hundred steps away, he saw the little donkey. The girl was indeed no ordinary person. She was probably the daughter of the leader of the barbarian tribe. She was hugging a fire and a cotton blanket alone. She was accompanied by two men and a woman, who should be protecting her.
Sun Zikai emerged from the darkness. After the barbarians saw it, they didn't react for a while.
He inserted the dagger back and pulled out the sharp and slender cold knife from his waist. His eyes were half-opened, looking listless, but like a god of death. Before the barbarians could figure out what was going on, he suddenly rushed out. , a man had no time to draw his weapon, and the child opened his throat in an instant, and blood spurted out ten feet away.
The girl's cry echoed through the woods, but unfortunately, no one could respond to him.
The remaining man no longer dared to look down on the child who was not as tall as a horse. He pulled out his knife and rushed over. Sun Zikai immediately retreated and ran into the darkness in a few steps. The man followed closely, but he couldn't see his face. After a few breaths, a scream was heard from behind. The man turned around and saw the girl sitting on the blanket beside the fire. The woman next to her had her neck wiped open and the girl peed.
The man rushed back angrily, and Sun Zikai disappeared into the darkness again. The man shouted to his tribe, but no one responded.
There were rustling sounds all around, as if there were many people there. The man had bad thoughts in his heart. The people from Guan Nei rushed over. His people might have been killed. Once he panicked, he was struck by the darkness. Poison, from then on there was only despair in his eyes, he rushed into the darkness as if resigned to his fate, and fell to the ground after a few breaths.
The girl was shaking all over and couldn't move at all. She saw the boy of a similar age to herself walking out of the darkness with a long knife in his hand. She wanted to grab the crossbow from the edge of the blanket, but her arms were weak and she couldn't move at all.
"You...you...please...please..." The girl was so frightened that her mind went blank. She was begging for mercy, but the knife had no emotion. It was placed on the girl's throat, with a cold light. In a flash, the fire lost its sound, and the blood dyed a tree red, appearing dark black in the night. Sun Zikai picked up the girl's head, tied it with a rope, and carried it on his back. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something moving behind the box. He walked over. It was a child of several years old, just like him. The girl's appearance when she first met her.
This child doesn't understand anything, but when he grows up and starts eating meat, he will eat the meat of the people in Guan Nei and peel off the skin of people in Guan Nei. The cold knife has no emotions. The knife flashes past and the head falls. The rope was tied and carried on his back. Then, he walked to the outside of the bush, wrapped the dog's head in cloth, and hung it around his waist. After doing this, he walked quietly back to the edge of the dangerous peak. , but had no strength to climb anymore, so he simply lay down in the grass and slept for more than an hour. When the sound of the barbarians banging on the door subsided, he woke up immediately, looked up at the dangerous peak that seemed to penetrate into the night sky, without any emotion. , climbed up using hands and feet.
Three and a half hours later, at dawn, he climbed to the top. The barbarians retreated one after another, and the gatekeepers were exhausted, but Lao Zhang told everyone not to relax. When the barbarians attack again, there will be a more fierce confrontation. The women have all withdrawn, and no one will cook for them. Everyone just Can be hungry and rest against the wall.
At this moment, a figure walked up the stone steps, a bloody figure.
"Xiao Kai? What are you..."
Sun Zikai walked up to everyone and dropped two heads, both of which were children's heads. At the same time, he took off a bloody package and opened it to see that they were the heads of dogs. Sun Zikai said calmly: "I'll go out at night and kill them." I killed everyone in the bushes and the dog’s body was dismembered. I was too weak and could only bring back his head.”
Everyone was stunned, and Liu Zi asked: "The door was tightly blocked last night. How did you...how did you get out?"
Sun Zikai pointed to the dangerous peak that was more than fifty feet high and said: "Those who climb down from there will follow the same path when they come back."
The men guarding the gate have never been so shocked. Who dares to climb that dangerous peak? For thousands of years, no barbarian has dared to think about that road. The key is that this child not only climbed back and forth, but also killed all the barbarians in the woods alone.
After seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Sun Zikai explained: "The barbarians in the woods are old, weak, women and children. They are exhausted after the day's massacre. In addition, they buried the barbarian corpses, and the men were blocking the way." The door was open, so they fell asleep without any defense. I took advantage of them to sleep before taking action. There was only one chance last night. Otherwise, I was so weak and could not kill them all. If the door was broken, they would It will kill a lot of people, so I’ll kill all their children first so that they can lose something, so it’s not a loss.”
Everyone looked at the child as if they were looking at the King of Hell. Only then did Lao Zhang understand what Lao Yang said at the beginning. This child will not die. He will become the nightmare of all the barbarians outside the customs.
Sun Zikai continued: "Old Zhang, the barbarians will rush back later, and they will attack irrationally. Just leave four or five people on the wall. The rest will all climb to the peaks on both sides, using the flag as a signal, and march towards Throw stones down."
"No way," Lao Zhang said, "There are no big rocks on the peak, and it is easy to hit them close or far away. We should wait for reinforcements."
"It's too late. They were making bows in the woods. They also stored a lot of arrows last night. We don't need big rocks, just small rocks. This dangerous peak is high enough. I tried it on the top yesterday. It can kill people, but it doesn't matter. Too much effort. When you throw, imagine yourself as me. Throw it with the strength of a child. Just throw it lightly. Look at my flag. The second throwing method is only slightly twice as long as the first one. Just be strong.”
Lao Zhang gave the order, and seven or eight people on each side climbed to the top of the peak. Only six people were left on the wall. These were all the gatekeepers. Not long after, the crazy barbarians rushed back, smashed the door indiscriminately, pointed at the gatekeeper and cursed, and sure enough they had new bows, dozens of them, and they shot with open bows.
The gatekeepers were all sitting close to the wall. Sun Zikai stretched out his hand to raise the flag. Dozens of stones suddenly fell from the tops of the mountains on both sides. At first, the gatekeepers could not control the intensity. They were either close or far away, but gradually , they felt how strong the child was, and then all the stones were thrown outside the door.
It was impossible to prevent stones falling from that height with straw mats. The barbarians leaned against the door, but as soon as they got close, Sun Zikai ordered to set fire to the door. The barbarians couldn't bear it, so they ran out again, and then After being hit, dozens of people died in one or two hits, and the barbarians had no choice but to run further away. At this time, a whistle was blown on the wall, and a flag was played, and no stones fell from the sky.
The barbarians looked back and saw two heads hung on the wall, and Sun Zikai was sitting on the wall with his legs dangling in the air, looking at them indifferently. When the barbarians saw the heads, they became furious again and rushed back, even if He used his head to smash the broken door open. When they came to the door again, Sun Zikai ordered to set fire again. The wine jar was smashed down, the torch was thrown down, and the fire shot into the sky. Many barbarians were squeezed in and couldn't get out, alive. Burned to death, the barbarian finally couldn't bear the strength and ran out again.
As soon as the flag was called, the gatekeeper on the peak who had just picked up new stones once again threw the stones with the strength of a child. The barbarians who were just running for their lives forgot the danger above their heads and their skulls were directly penetrated. This time, they were shot through. , dozens more people died, and the momentum of the barbarians was much weaker. At this time, the peak on the left stopped throwing, and the peak on the right continued to throw. The barbarians were forced to run to the left. At this time, the six people on the wall were blocked. , quickly drew an arrow and shot out, the barbarians gathered together, there was almost no possibility of evasion. Dozens more people died. Many of them raised their bows and fired hastily, but due to the chaos of the crowd, they couldn't even hit the gate.
The gatekeeper put away the arrow, and the barbarians just took a breath. The large rocks just collected on the left peak were thrown downwards in three rounds, and the landing point was moved outwards in each round. The barbarians ran outside after being hit. By chance, he was hit by the next round of stones. After three rounds, many barbarians were trampled to death, not to mention those who were stoned to death. When the barbarians swarmed to the bottom of the right peak, the gatekeepers came again. shoot.
After this, more than 120 people on the opposite side were killed without any bloodshed. The barbarians lost their morale and fled back in a hurry. At this time, Sun Zikai shouted: "Open the door! Kill them!"
The gatekeepers shouted together, but a man ran behind the door and kept knocking on the door panel. The barbarians were indeed fooled, and their children were slaughtered. They had no thoughts about it. It was better to go back and kill everyone in the gate. Then they shouted to kill, eight More than a dozen people turned around and rushed to the gate. The gate seemed to be ajar, but it was not open at all. When the barbarians gathered in front of the gate, they looked up and saw that the gatekeeper had set a fire again.
The fire made them dizzy. Sun Zikai asked his six sons to pretend to be barbarians and shouted in the chaos: "Quickly retreat to the right!"
The barbarians didn't bother to hear clearly who was speaking, and swarmed to the right, and all the large rocks piled on the peak on the right fell down together.
More than thirty barbarians stood in the pile of corpses in despair. They had no idea where the target was. The leaders were all dead. There were only thirty of them left in a large family tribe.
Sun Zikai asked the gatekeeper to take advantage of the barbarians' loss of soul to shoot at a single point, killing one person with one arrow. Only a dozen arrows were shot, and there were only fifteen or six barbarians left.
The gatekeepers all drew their swords and asked to go out and kill the enemy, but Sun Zikai refused them and said: "There is no need to increase the risk of casualties on our side in a situation where the opponent is bound to lose. Let the brothers on the top continue. If you look for rocks to throw at them, if they can be beaten to death, we won’t go out.”
Lao Zhang said: "These guys are weird. They have to die in front of this door, and they will not retreat."
Sun Zikai said calmly: "I slaughtered their children just for this reason. They have no hope of escape and their thoughts are full of hatred. This is the best opportunity we should take advantage of to kill them. They are actually big You can wait to make hundreds of bows or build ladders to come up, but unfortunately, they lost their minds and just wanted to rush over first."
The gatekeepers still didn't go out. According to Sun Zikai, they wanted to minimize the risk of their own death, so almost all the stones on the top were removed. When all the barbarians were dead, they waited for another full hour.
Then, Liuzi and the two of them tied ropes and went down. They first collected the arrows, sent them back to the wall in bundles, and then shot them one by one. Only when they were sure that all the barbarians were dead did they finally heave a sigh of relief.
In just one stick of incense, Lao Yang rushed back with his life and a group of people. Everyone who came looked at death as if they were home. The sight of the pile of bloody corpses outside the gate was frightening, but there was no casualty among the gatekeepers. , Lao Zhang sat against the wall, smiled at Lao Yang, pointed at Sun Zikai, and said nothing.
At this time, a voice came from below, and Liuzi shouted: "There are two alive!"
Everyone looked outside, and there were indeed two men hiding among the dead. Although they were injured, they were still able to move. They were caught under the wall, and they all lowered their heads in despair. Lao Zhang stood there. He stood up and said: "If one of you two survives, go back and tell all the barbarians that this road will never be accessible again, and your King of Hell is here!"
The gatekeepers raised their arms and shouted. Over the years, they had never achieved such a great victory. This was the most proud time for them.
Suddenly, a barbarian took action and broke the neck of his compatriot with one punch. After a moment of silence, Lao Zhang nodded and Liu Zi let the man leave. At this time, Sun Zikai said coldly: "Brother Six, kill him!"
Liuzi raised his knife and cut off the man's head directly. Sun Zikai said: "There is no need to leave anyone to go back to spread the word. If no one goes back, it is the best demonstration."
