The Heartless Mage Chapter 62: War
The ritual is so beautifully done.
Gu Brigade’s advance troops stationed at the foot of Qingyun Mountain lined up as if they were in a meeting, and silently raised their eyes to look at Chuchenzi on the high platform. Officers at all levels had announced to their subordinates the noble status of Chuchenzi in advance – a living fairy, and the Prime Minister of the State respected him when he met him.
Chuchen Zi was wearing an embroidered robe, and when he was at a high place, he couldn’t see the pattern of the robe below, and he could see a splendid splendor. Chuchenzi himself is also decent, a big man with broad shoulders, showing majesty when he doesn’t move, dancing a seven-star sword with his hair and legs, and the silence below is only the sound of the wind. A soldier couldn’t help but let out a cough, and was immediately slapped by the squad leader behind him.
Master Gu stood far away with the crescent moon, and also stretched his neck to look at it in a daze.
Intentionally lying softly in the dark room with his head resting on the monster’s back. Still tired, I have to sleep for a day to do it. The monster didn’t want to attack him, probably because it didn’t treat him like a living creature at all, thinking he was a stone and couldn’t eat it.
There is still a monster lying on the corner of the house. His head was cut off by him. It can basically be regarded as dead, but because there is no light, the flesh has not melted. Unintentionally cut a piece of meat, he lowered his head and sniffed, opened his mouth and took a bite. The meat was slightly fishy, like unboiled fish jelly. He took the meat and fed it to the other living one, who had his mouth shut, apparently not wanting to eat it at all. So he slumped and lay down, leaning on the monster and eating by himself.
He came out at noon, holding half of the monster’s body in his arms. The soldier guarding the gate caught a litter of puppies for him. Inadvertently picked up a small white dog and smeared it from head to toe with melted gravy. The pup was sent to the monster, but the monster remained indifferent.
So Wuxin went out again, picked a flower dog, and filled the dog’s mouth with gravy. When the little flower dog was full, he unintentionally sent it to the monster. Xiaohua’s dog didn’t bark a single sound, but with a “click”, it was chewed up by the monster. Wuxin immediately pulled his hand back and nearly pierced his finger on the monster’s fangs.
Wuxin thinks that she has figured out the habits of monsters. The spell is not over yet, he has already turned the monster into two pots of juice. When the ritual was over, Master Gu and Crescent Moon looked at Wuxin, only to see the door wide open, and several soldiers were removing the thick felt nailed to the window. When Master Gu asked, he learned that Wuxin went to the stream.
At this moment, the snow is melting, the spring flowers are blooming, and there is no shortage of small streams in the mountains. Next to a creek, Master Gu and Crescent Moon saw Wuxin – Wuxin was squatting on the water’s edge, brushing something hard with a horse brush.
The two approached on tiptoe, and when they looked at the probe, Crescent Moon exclaimed in fright, and Master Gu immediately asked, “What are you doing?”
Wuxin held the brush in one hand, pressed a pair of white sharp teeth into the water with the other, raised his head and asked with a smile: “Master Gu, do you think it looks good? I will be able to clean it soon, brush it. I’ll give it to you when it’s clean.”
Master Gu looked at the crescent moon inexplicably, and then asked, “Give me a set of teeth?”
Inadvertently lowered his head and continued to brush the dried blood saliva between his teeth with a brush: “I think it is very fierce, and it can be used to give you a house.”
Master Gu ignored him and said directly to Crescent Moon: “You take care of him, you know he is kind, but if you let him get nervous, maybe he will go home to collect the body in two days!”
Crescent Moon also bent over and slapped him on the back: “You quickly throw it away. Does it look disgusting or scary? Who do you think is using a tooth to settle the house?”
Master Gu and Crescent Moon forcibly confiscated the unintentional sharp teeth and brushes. Sharp teeth and brushes were thrown into the stream, and Master Gu and Crescent Moon shook Wuxin’s hands from left to right, and escorted him back to the barracks. Both of them hated his behavior, and Master Gu threatened him, saying that if Wuxin dared to do similar behavior again, he would chop off his claws; Crescent Moon immediately said, “Don’t scare him!” Then he pulled Wuxin’s arm: “Do you hear? You are not allowed to bring strange things into the house again, or I will scratch you first.”
Wu Xin was kind, but not only did not end up with half a good word, but was threatened by his wife and friends, he couldn’t help laughing, nodding and walking: “Well, um, I don’t dare anymore!”
After the dharma service was done, Chu Chenzi did not leave immediately. After changing into civilian clothes in the barracks, he repelled the apprentice beside him, and sat down comfortably with a cup of hot tea. He took a sip just now, calmly, and walked forward unintentionally and silently, and put a military water bottle on the table beside him.
Chu Chenzi was taken aback: “What are you doing? You want to pee from me again?”
Wuxin sat down next to him: “It’s not asking, it’s giving. A little gift, it’s useful for self-defense, please accept it.”
Chu Chenzi gently sniffed the fragrance of the tea: “Gift? What is it?”
Wuxin replied: “It’s the juice that the underground monsters turned into.”
Chuchenzi spit out a mouthful of hot tea immediately, spritzing Wuxin all over his face. Wuxin raised his sleeves and wiped his face, and continued to finish his words: “Master, if you encounter a monster by chance in the future, just apply the juice on your face and you should be able to escape.”
Chuchenzi simply didn’t want to touch the kettle, and reluctantly thanked Wuxin. Then he called a little apprentice who didn’t know the truth and asked the young apprentice to hold the kettle.
After Chuchenzi returned to the Taoist temple in the sedan chair, Master Gu followed Wuxin back to the bedroom. There were no beds in the barracks, and a heated kang was built. Crescent Moon was sitting in the kang, smack dipping the soles of his shoes, and Wuxin and Master Gu also got on the kang. Wuxin said to Master Gu, “It is possible to open a gold mine, but it is very dangerous. It is best not to open it.”
Master Gu held a cigarette and knocked it lightly on the edge of the kang. At the end of the knock, he put the cigarette in his mouth and struck a match with a “cha” sound. Holding the flame and leaning towards the cigarette, he shot two eyes at Wuxin from under his thick eyebrows: “As long as you don’t smash the mess in my hands, even if there is a living dragon hidden in the mountains, I don’t care!”
Wuxin turned around and pulled over the dim sum box placed on the kang, and took out a candied date from it and sent it to the lips of the crescent moon. When Crescent Moon ate one first, he picked another one and threw it into his mouth. And Master Gu continued: “I think about it, I want to fight!”
Two white smoke exhaled from his nostrils, two small white dragons with strength: “If you want to temporarily break away from Qingyun Mountain, the only way is to go to war. I would rather go to the battlefield than ever again. Dealing with monsters. Anyway, I discovered the gold mine, and I gave it to the old coach; from now on, I will go farther on the road, whoever wants to mine, whoever wants to mine, whoever dies and who lives, has nothing to do with me! Damn Lao Tzu is a soldier, not a miner. Don’t throw hot potatoes into Lao Tzu’s arms, I won’t pick it up!”
Master Gu was gnashing his teeth while speaking, his face was full of vicious and wicked looks, and his bad appearance was all exposed. Crescent Moon is concentrating on threading the needle, while Wuxin is leaning against Crescent Moon, sucking a candied date noncommittally. Sucking and sucking, he was pushed by the crescent moon: “stay away from me, I’m doing my work, don’t stab you.”
Wuxin didn’t move, tilted his head and looked at Crescent Moon with a smile. Crescent Moon turned to look at him and couldn’t help but smile: “What are you looking at? What about you! Aren’t you afraid of getting stabbed?”
Wuxin reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, shaking his head and was about to roll into her arms. Crescent Moon quickly raised the right hand holding the needle high, and tapped the back of his head with the unfinished shoe sole: “Seeing how annoying you are, do you still want to wear new shoes?”
Master Gu was smug, but unexpectedly suddenly lost his audience. Seeing that the crescent moon was full of thunder and little rain, he wanted to strike Wuxin, but in fact, if he beat and rubbed three times, his strength was not as good as a gust of wind. He crawled over on all fours and snatched the sole of the shoe, only to hear a “snap”, he slapped the back of Wuxin’s neck ruthlessly: “What’s the matter with you two? Have I finished? I haven’t finished yet. Well, you two will show off later!”
Then he sat cross-legged back in place, with his hands on his knees and the cigarette in the corner of his mouth: “I have to get out as soon as the situation doesn’t worsen. Sooner or later, the war will start, so I’ll take a step first! Master can’t go. , stay and help me; what’s wrong with you, Crescent Moon? If you’re afraid, I’ll send you back to Tianjin.”
Crescent Moon shook his head without hesitation: “I’m not going either, I’m not where I want to be. When you’re fighting, I’ll find a place to hang out. When the war is over, I’ll cook for you. Don’t worry, I Not timid. When I was a child, I even went into the mountains with my uncle to fight foxes.”
Master Gu raised his hand: “I know you are bold. If you were not brave, he would have scared him to death.”
Wuxin immediately gave Master Gu a wink, not allowing Master Gu to say more, for fear that Crescent Moon would be worthy of his mind and would not want him. Master Gu understood and knew that it was not easy for him to find a woman, so he immediately shut up.
Once Master Gu secretly made up his mind, he immediately began to act. Chang’an County has always been peaceful, not his goal, his goal is Wenxian – because he was kicked out from Wenxian!
After sending a team to provoke a few times, Zhang Xianzong opened fire as he wished. When the war started, Master Gu immediately sent out an emergency call to let all the main troops of the Gu brigade stationed outside Tianjin go to the front line. The old coach didn’t mention the gold mine, he just kept a close eye on the battle.
Wuxin and Crescent Moon left Qingyun Mountain with the team and were stationed in a small village 80 miles away from Wenxian County. Both of them kept their distance from the officers and soldiers, because the officers and soldiers saw the woman, and although they knew they couldn’t touch them, their eyes still had to give birth to hooks. Wuxin was afraid that the crescent moon would be frightened, and wished that she could give birth to two wings to surround her. Crescent moon doesn’t like anyone except her unintentional, so she doesn’t go out in a hurry, she concentrates on making her shoes, and the other is three meals in the morning and evening.
The battle soon entered a stalemate. Master Gu had the backing and confidence. However, Zhang Xianzong had only one base camp in Wenxian County. Naturally, the matter of robbing the mine had been forgotten for a long time. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Brothers of Light also smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled together. Zhang Xianzong stood alone in the headquarters, thinking about the large map on the half wall. In early spring and March, the green and yellow are not picked up, and if you carry it further, there will be a famine in the city. He can’t sit still – for Yue Qiluo’s sake, he can’t just grab it.
The semi-soft and semi-hard commanding whip pointed on the map and moved all the way from Wenxian to Gulu’s headquarters. Zhang Xianzong stared blankly at the headquarters, and at the same time poked with the command whip.
Finally, the dark cloud covered the top of the headquarters, and he poked out a light black cloud. Suddenly throwing the command whip backwards, he turned around and strode out.
In the evening, Yue Qiluo rode his horse, and after dismounting, he walked in and out, grabbed an officer and asked, “Where is the chief of staff?”
She is short, reaching for the officer’s collar. The officer was two heads taller than her, but he leaned down obediently because he felt inexplicable terror: “The chief of staff personally led the troops out.”
Yue Qiluo looked at him with big clear eyes: “Where did you go?”
The officer raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered a few words to her. Yue Qiluo nodded and put down her hand, her heart gradually lifted up. Suddenly looking up at the officer again, she asked, “Has the big troop set off?”
The officer replied: “Let’s go immediately.”
Yue Qiluo raised her hands and inserted her fingers into her black hair. The hands were slowly drawn back, and the half-short black hair slipped through the fingers, scattered. Her little head became a thoughtful, black flower.
In the end, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly said, “I’m going too!”
