Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Chapter 226

In the mist, the shadow of the strange beast was clearly discernible.

It was a strong beast, taller than a horse, but moved more swiftly than a horse, with four thick horns growing on its head, waving like weapons.Soon the front row of the Northern Expeditionary Army was rushed to pieces.

The vanguard who was the first to attack suffered the worst injuries. Before the cavalry on horseback had time to draw their swords, they were thrown off their backs by the horns of the beast.Before the man and the horse could stand up, they were trampled by the beast's feet mercilessly. In a blink of an eye, dozens of people were killed on the spot, blood foam flying everywhere, and the tragedy was unbearable.

Bai Xiuchuan saw it clearly, he saw his comrades who were bridle on the road being trampled into flesh, and he was almost frightened out of his wits.

However, the strength gushing out from nowhere supported him, Rao's face was pale, he still sat firmly on the horseback, and gave orders loudly.

Under the order of the lord general, the crowd spread out to both sides, and a path was opened for Lu Zhengqiu, master and apprentice, to pass through.

Di Dongqing walked near Bai Xiuchuan and gave him a grateful look.

"What are you going to do?"

Before Bai Xiuchuan finished speaking, the two of them rushed into the herd of beasts, and were overwhelmed by intertwined shadows in a blink of an eye.

Those two people who are alone and weak, if they are alone in the formation of strange beasts, they will die in an instant.

Bai Xiuchuan's heart was already in his throat.

Di Dongqing was also terrified.

He used to be not afraid of desperate situations, because he always had a sword in his hand, with five fingers gripping the hilt tightly, and the firm touch of his palm was his reassurance.But this time, the master forbade him to draw the sword.

No matter how strong and tall a warrior is, he is as weak as a child in front of ferocious beasts.What's more, his master is not tall, let alone strong, but a seriously ill person who is getting weaker and weaker day by day.

Two unarmed lunatics were exposed in front of the herd without any defense.

Di Dongqing tightened the reins, and relying on his superb horse riding skills, desperately dealt with the wild beasts, but his way around was soon blocked, the horse panicked in fright, and only wanted to save its life, so it raised its head high. hooves, struggling to shake his neck, trying to shake off the burden on his back.

He had to protect his master and get off the horse.

As soon as the two of them landed, he saw a pair of golden eyes staring down at him.

It was the tallest horse in the herd, with a strong figure, a long neck, feet like climbing clouds and fog, and a pair of clear eyes, which made Di Dongqing inexplicably think of the rising sun spraying light on the horizon when he was born.

The strange beast lowered its noble head.

Only then did Di Dongqing realize that the person it was looking at was not herself, but Lu Zhengqiu.

The golden eyes were narrowed into a line, and the eyes were full of breathtaking majesty.

The wind passing by the ears stopped, and the world seemed to stop at that moment.

Lu Zhengqiu could not see anything clearly, the soles of his feet were as weak as if he was stepping on cotton, but he still raised his head to meet its gaze.

His figure is like a tree, the branches in late autumn have no leaves left, and they still stretch out to the sky alone.

He opened his arms slightly, blocking in front of Dongqing, and also in front of the tens of thousands of troops behind him.

The restless herd stopped attacking at that moment.

The trampling sound, which was enough to shake the mountains, disappeared in an instant, and even the thick fog that surrounded it also dispersed in an instant.The pale sunlight was low to the ground, slanting across the silent tundra.

From the ice edges in the crevices of the stone, there is a cold and clear light dancing.

The golden eyes closed and opened again, there was no fierceness in the eyes, instead there was a tranquility, like a spring bubbling in the brilliance of the rising sun.

"It's husbands." Lu Zhengqiu said lightly.

"Fu Zhu?" Di Dongqing couldn't help opening her eyes wide, "Master, how do you know?"

"There is a faint feeling, as if I have known them for a long time."

When the fog cleared, Di Dongqing was able to see the whole appearance of the strange beast. It looked like a white deer, but it had four horns. It was covered with golden fur, and its eyes were clear and bright.

Lu Zhengqiu went on to say: "The husbands are ancient spirit beasts, they love water and are afraid of fire by nature. This group probably fled the northern border in a group because they were driven to nowhere by the sky fire. They regard this tundra as their territory, It was only then that the fog was raised to protect this place from invasion by outsiders."

The leader of Fuzhu seemed to have understood his words, bent his forelegs, lowered his neck, and knelt down slowly.

Lu Zhengqiu felt the beast's breath sprinkled on his cheeks like a gust of hot wind.A look of pain appeared on his face, and he said: "You are mistaken, I am not Xia, Xia's remnant soul has long since dissipated, I am not the person you are looking for."

His golden eyes blinked, his head shook slightly, stubbornly refusing to leave his side.

Not only that, behind the leader, the rest of the husbands also knelt down one after another.

A group of wild beasts that shake the mountains and shake the earth are obedient in front of a mortal who is blind and can't even stand still.

Di Dongqing was astonished, he turned his head and found that the soldiers behind him were all silent, and cast their fearful eyes on Lu Zhengqiu's back.

They are afraid because they don't understand. In their eyes, this person seems to be no longer a human being, as if he has stepped into a strange territory.

Lu Zhengqiu let out a low sigh, almost inaudible.

But Di Dongqing still heard it, and heard it clearly.

There are so many sounds in this world, but there is always a voice that he will never miss.

He could hear the helplessness in that sigh, the figure in the black shirt was so lonely, tired, and weak, falling into the remote darkness that could not be entered alone, and all he could see was the scenery that others could not understand.

He suddenly had a feeling that Lu Zhengqiu was not a hero, let alone a savior, or even the master he had been chasing after.Just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who he wants to keep by his side for a long time.

Wherever the master goes, he will accompany him there, even if the darkness is heavy, he will not stop.

The fear entrenched in his heart dissipated, he took a deep breath, took a step forward, and put his palm on the top of Fuzhu's head.

It was an extremely dangerous move. As long as the beast moved a little, the pair of strong horns could easily poke a big hole in his chest.

But Fuzhu just shook his head slightly, rubbing his smooth fur against his palm.

Di Dongqing smiled, turned to Master, and said, "You are right, they are not vicious, they are just scared."

Lu Zhengqiu was stunned for a moment, and felt his hands warm up. It turned out that Dongqing took his hand and put it on Fuzhu's forehead.

Fu Zhu's lips moved, he raised his long neck, and let out a whistling sound from the depths of his throat.The voice was clear and melodious, straight into the sky, and the rest of the companions followed the example of the leader, hissing.

Di Dongqing couldn't help but be fascinated by the sound, all the beasts chanted together to form a cang song, pulling him into the dim world, floating and falling in the clouds.When he came back to his senses, the leaders of the husbands had turned sideways, bent their limbs, and knelt on the dark green tundra.

He murmured: "Master, I think... it seems to want us to ride on it."

Lu Zhengqiu was silent for a moment, raised his hand and caressed its back: "Okay, if you believe me, take me to the Great Wall of the Northern Wilderness, and I will save you."

Fu Zhu carried the two masters and apprentices through the snow-covered wilderness.

The great army followed behind the herd, like a long dragon, wandering among the vast China.

The sun has set in the western sky, and the stars in the northern border are exceptionally clear. Hundreds of millions of stars weave a golden curtain, which stretches across the sky and hangs down at the end of the world, pouring out the radiance.

These clusters of golden lamps have been burning for thousands of years, and they are still tirelessly illuminating the world.

Di Dongqing rode on her husband's back, tightly hugging the pale and drowsy man in her arms.

There were thousands of words in his heart, but every word slipped to his lips and became superfluous nonsense.

What he wanted to say, that person already knew everything.

What he couldn't say, the man kept it in his heart.

——I climbed mountains with you, crossed rivers and rivers, heard beasts bowing their heads and singing, and saw stars falling into the sky.

The road under their feet is already the back of a giant turtle, a legend in the world.Ordinary people's whole life can't match their one and a half moments.

For the last part of the journey, fortunately, we were with each other. Even if the road ahead is a dead end, I will not regret this trip.
