One person guards the lonely city, invincible in the world

Chapter 43 The sixty-year official resignation, please return tonight 【Supplement】

On the top floor of the castle, the blood moon is in the sky, and stars are gradually hovering on the eaves. A spiral staircase surrounded by black mist leads directly to the sky. There is a pattering sound from above, like raindrops falling in the boundless sea.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

In the center of the wide altar, an old woman in a wedding dress handed a purple crown to a noble woman with a strange appearance.

The latter has blue eyes and crescent eyebrows, blond curly hair, and a pair of mottled dragon horns on top of his head, like a dragon girl dormant in the abyss.

She took the crown and put it on top of her head lightly, but her eyes looked at the spiral staircase, as if ascension was the greatest ambition in her heart.

No one in the world can travel through the gate of heaven, it should start when I open up the world.

"The world, since you are determined to be overbearing and turn kingly, the rise and fall of the empire is bound to you personally. If the empire rules the world, your wish will come true; if the empire declines, your fate will be extremely miserable."

The voice of the old woman in the wedding dress was muddy and slow, and she stared at the most outstanding member of the Tuoba royal family for a moment.

A 30-year-old martial arts sage, the former emperor Tuobali is not worthy of carrying her shoes, and the shining pearl of the empire is willing to take on the important task. Why should the empire not be happy?

Tuoba Tianxia nodded his chin, he could only find another way when he encountered shackles in cultivation, and proved the Tao with the way of the king.

She never doubted her own abilities, let alone the mission of the Supreme Kingdom of God, success is only a matter of time.

"If you come to the throne and formulate a policy, you must first settle the inside if you want to fight against the outside world. You must let the people of the empire see your governing methods."

The old lady in the wedding dress spoke softly, between the internal rebellion and the battle in the Western Regions, the most sensible choice is obviously the former.

The empire was already defeated in the Western Regions battlefield, and it would be difficult to say victory even if it was supported by troops. Once there were a few small-scale defeats, it would affect the prestige of the new monarch.

And the death of a lunatic in an isolated city is enough to stop the mouths of the people of the empire.

"The traitor will taste the bloodiest revenge. If the civil strife is handled well, I will uproot the Eastern Central Plains. The empire does not need lowly Han slaves and genocide. I only want the fertile and rich land of China."

Tuoba Tianxia's tone was gentle, and his deep blue pupils showed an inherent cold-bloodedness.

A centipede is dead but not stiff. If slaves from the Central Plains are domesticated, there is no guarantee that another Gu Changan will not appear among them.

The empire has already been tortured by him once, and there will never be another lunatic who is out of control and simply slaughters the people of the Central Plains in order to be clean.

Just now.

The wooden door of the castle was pushed open with a "squeak", and the old man with green eyes and red face walked into the altar. He stepped on the uneven cobblestone path step by step, holding a white lantern high in his left hand.

Moonlight threw the lantern into the altar to burn, and then knelt down in front of the statue of the god to pray.

Lines of sight crossed the black mist and scanned him back and forth several times.

"Thanks for your hard work."

A low and indifferent voice came from the spiral staircase.

After Yue Zhiguang apologized to the sky, he said calmly:

"It's dead, but it hasn't disappeared."

In an instant, the stairs rumbled, and stalwart figures suddenly descended on the altar.

The atmosphere is suddenly solemn!

"Yue Zun, why are you playing tricks?" The queen stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"It's impossible to fail!" The old woman in the wedding dress looked confused, and there were ants under the gate of heaven, which was the only reason in heaven.

"It's more terrifying than failure." Yue Zhiguang looked around the faces and said word by word:

"Turn the soul of a hero, town the mountains and rivers."

After the words fell, the altar was as gloomy as a tomb, and the energy stagnated.

The old monsters looked shocked.

Yes, it is shocking!
They have been cultivating for decades, and killing thousands of troops by one person and one city is nothing more than a feat worth remembering in the world, nothing more.

But now, I really feel horrified.

"Could it exist in the form of a soul?" The black-faced woman with long hair covering her face suddenly breathed heavily, and the cross on her neck trembled slightly.

Moonlight nodded slowly:
"Bodyless ghost."

"Maybe it's the extreme obsession with guarding the house, or maybe it's a paradoxical nature. In short, Gu Chang'an guarded the city with his soul. The old man still has lingering fears about that scene."

Those who heard it were all dizzy.

Are there still ghosts in the world?
When certain things are beyond the control of heaven, what kind of disaster will it bring, and will it affect the abyss?

"Yue Zun, why don't you kill him?" Tuoba Tian's face was ashen, with a hint of humiliation in his eyes.

Moonlight stared at her coldly, remembering Gu Changan's flat and arrogant words, and said coldly:
"Under the crown of the gods, can the heavens in the world still punish the ghosts in the underworld?"

After speaking, he started from his own moves, and described the whole process in detail.

The old monsters closed their eyes and meditated, with a terrifying picture lingering in their minds.

This is the most shocking deed in the world.

He kept his home during his lifetime, and he kept his home after his death.

Isn't it invincible?

Then what is the use of their cultivation?

"Hannu, damn it!" Tuoba Tiantian's face was livid, and his whole body was filled with rage.

The altar fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.

The old monster is afraid of the unknown, while the new queen has cold blue eyes and tight lips, like a beast in trouble.

I thought it would be easy to pick the fruits of victory and lay a strong foundation for the road to kingship.

If it weren't for her status as the inheritor of the abyss, how could the land god who had half opened the gate of heaven step into the troubled times.

If she didn't believe in Moonlight, how could she have made the decision to withdraw troops.

Fortunately, not only did he not achieve the glory he imagined, but he was humiliated at the beginning of his ascension to the throne!

Before her butt could sit firmly on the central throne, she was woken up with a slap in the face of reality, which was extremely humiliating!
The old woman in the wedding dress turned her head and took a look, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't say anything to win respect.

Who would have thought that a madman would become a ghost?
This is often the case in the world, honor and disgrace are only in an instant, the decision to withdraw troops from the Western Regions will surely be nailed to the pillar of shame of the empire, and the queen will suffer a heavy hammer.

"Yuezhiguang, you should raze Qiuci city to the ground and lure the ghosts to the holy city."

Tuoba Tianxia's tone was stiff and no longer respectful.

"Presumptuous!" The old woman in the wedding dress snorted coldly.

Yue Zhiguang narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and his attitude was suddenly fierce, half threatening and half angry:
"Your Majesty, it's just this time, don't talk to this old man in this tone next time."

"I was impulsive." Tuoba Tianxia quickly realized that she was emotionally up and down, and her eyes turned apologetic. The tingling pain of the nails in her sleeves embedded in her palm made her calm down.

She began to understand the first emperor Tuobali.

Nothing is wrong, why is there a circle of dark cords that gradually wrap around the neck?
Will it be me next?

Tuoba Tianxia immediately dispelled the worries and doubts in his heart, how could the Supreme God Kingdom be afraid of lonely souls and wild ghosts!

"Yuezhiguang, according to what you said, this ghost is invincible in defense?" The black-robed old monster frowned deeply.

"Invincible." Moonlight replied helplessly, and then added:
"Although the body is dead, the lotus imprint on his forehead has not faded, and only three and a half petals remain."

"The curse of the Buddha's relic took effect, and Gu Chang'an can only survive for three years."

After a moment of silence, Moonlight revealed a bitter smile:
"Who knows? Will the curse be bound by such absurd and bizarre existence?"

The altar was silent.

"If you can't wait for three years, you must destroy your soul. The spirit of the Central Plains cannot rise any further!"

The old woman in the wedding dress made a decisive decision.

The exposure of the cover of one person, one city has already set off a climax in the sluggish land of China. The ancient civilization began to awaken, and only then did the millions of troops have the courage to go to the Western Regions.

"Turning the mountains and rivers after death" should be known to the Central Plains soon, and it is bound to cause an explosive sensation, far overshadowing the exposure of Gucheng.

It is a miracle that one person guards the house. He represents the tenacious persistence of the nation in the dark and desperate situation.

But even ghosts have to guard their homes. It is already the advent of myths and legends. That kind of national will transcends the world and will endow the Central Plains with the belief that they are not afraid of death.

Just imagine, everyone in the East is proud of death, and the empire has no way to conquer! !

"The Qi mechanism of heaven and earth can't destroy the ghost way. How many times do I need to repeat this? Our top level will come out in full force, killing souls thousands of times, and Gu Chang'an will still reunite."

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains that if you keep the clouds open, you will see the moon, and you will always get results if you put in everything."

Moonlight paused for a long time, then continued with a blank expression:
"But Gu Chang'an is now a strange stone from outside the sky, no matter how hard he tries, he can't move it!"

"The only thing we can hope for is the Buddha's curse. Three years is long and short."

Exhausted after speaking, he returned to the spiral staircase in a short time, he didn't want to listen to these bullshit mundane things anymore.

Human emotions are common, irrespective of race, ancient and modern.

When he witnessed Gu Chang'an's heroic sacrifice to transform ghosts and defend the city, he had an emotional resonance in an instant, and his Dao heart was shaken.

"For the current plan, there are two ways."

Tuoba Tianxia, ​​who had been indifferent for a long time, looked around Senior Abyss, bowed down respectfully and said:
"First, since the way of heaven can't control him, then try to condense the air mechanism outside the sky."

"Second, Gu Changan transforms his soul with his obsession. We can gradually disintegrate his obsession with protecting the Central Plains nation by provoking the Central Plains, and his soul will die naturally."

After the words were finished, the old lady in the wedding dress nodded her head to express her approval, and the rest of the old monsters flew back to the ladder one after another to cultivate, and they didn't know what attitude they had.

In short, the soul must be destroyed, this is the unified goal of the abyss, and the law of heaven does not allow ghosts!
"I have returned to the Holy City." Tuoba Tianxia forced a stiff smile, and slowly walked out of the top floor of the castle.

Her stupidest move was to take over the mess!

"The ghost is still there, I will definitely beat you to death!"

Tuoba Tianxia hissed and roared in the dark and dense forest, smashing tree trunks with his angry fists.

……

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and a group of seventy horsemen rushed to set up waves of yellow sand. The leader, Judge Karl, reined in his horse and squinted his eyes to look at the lonely city of wind and snow.

"Look clearly!" He shouted coldly, and the palms of his hands gripping the rein trembled slightly.

I am really afraid of a madman like a snake and a snake. Even if I die, I will feel my heart tighten when I come to the homeland he once insisted on.

"Your Majesty, the city is empty. Let's flatten the city of Kucha as soon as possible. In ten and a half months, the Han-Nu coalition forces will arrive."

The hook-nosed enlightened man smiled and said, he understands the fear of His Majesty, if the madman is alive, who would dare to pull out his teeth?
But to die is to die.

No matter how great you were in life, you can take off your pants and pee on it after death with a handful of loess.

"Siege!!"

Karl waved his arm, and the seventy riders charged towards the city of Kucha.

In the past tens of thousands of elite elites of the empire could not defeat the iron wall, but today Brandon Carr is going to make history! !
"This is a moment of sacred glory, record it in detail, and go back to the holy city to announce it to the world." Carl clamped his horse's belly and charged, while ordering the accompanying staff.

In the area close to the banner, snow flakes fluttered, and the enlightened man suddenly felt creepy, and his big hooked nose was twisted in the dark night.

He quickly closed his eyes and remained motionless, but his cheek muscles twitched for a moment, revealing that he really felt it.

"how?"

Karl rushed over, pointed at the snow-covered flagpole and cursed:
"A dead thing, what are you afraid of?"

The aquiline nose seemed to have been hit on the temple with a hammer, and he suddenly coughed loudly, his saliva was stained with blood, and his whole body convulsed violently.

The strange yin qi invaded, mixed with traces of evil qi and evil qi, which directly made him feel confused, and his whole body seemed to be imprisoned.

"Richard!!" Carl sensed something was wrong, and immediately ordered his subordinates to jump over and hold the limbs of the hooked nose, and began to look around.

The heavy snow obscured his vision, and he vaguely saw a peach blossom branch less than knee high. The reason why he could see it was that the bright red petals were particularly eye-catching in the snow.

Immediately afterwards, Carl's eyes gradually turned scarlet, and his lips trembled violently.

Bursts of black mist.

Like a white robe, like floating white hair, like an indifferent and delicate face?
puff-

Carl fell off his horse, suffocating in every pore of his body, curled up and struggling like a shrimp.

ghost!

Rumble!
Like a bolt from the blue, the seventy cavalrymen's hair stood on end, and they saw the most terrifying scene in their life.

that man...

Didn't even fall! !
Karl was spinning and wriggling in the sand. He could feel the cold and cloudy air rapidly eroding the few remaining lives.

The incomparable scenes, phantoms of the Arabian Nights, just drifted in the heavy snow.

The trembling and shifting of the internal organs is even far more than the fear caused by one person slaughtering thousands of troops.

Soul Transformation Guardian...

Gu Changan turned around and glanced at the peach branch, picked up the shovel for digging the soil, and dragged it to the flag. He suddenly shook his head and laughed at himself:
"I have killed [-] people and slaughtered [-] people. When will dozens of wild dogs dare to humiliate me?"

After speaking, he floated towards the unconscious enlightened man, picked up the shovel and smashed it, hitting it again and again, smashing it into pieces of meat with the bang bang sound.

Karl buried his face in the mound of soil and did not dare to look. His trousers were soaked with yellow urine, and he cried and begged for mercy.

After working hard all his life, he managed to sit high on the central round table and become a judging giant respected by everyone. He didn't want to die!
On the verge of desperation, Carl's intestines are remorseful.

Even if some existences die, he can't eat human blood buns.

Gu Changan suddenly stopped, staring blankly at his palm, which was condensed by the black mist, in which half of the phalanx grew out, crystal clear.

He has no mood swings, nothing in the world can make him happy, even if he reshape his body, it is nothing more than another reincarnation.

I am willing to live in the soul, at least I don't have to endure the pain of tearing the flesh again and again. Without the flesh, I don't need to experience those tortures anymore.

Gu Changan cut off half of his phalanx with mental power, then looked at Karl in the python robe and gold trousers, bent down, and said in a low voice:
"I seem to have seen your portrait on a wild dog."

Karl was in a daze, yin qi entangled him, and deliberately kept a trace of clarity.

From a person to a lunatic, to a ghost, what will happen after the ghost?
completely dead...

Or God?
When the devil came, Carl no longer wanted to save his life. He was to blame himself, and he only wanted to die decently.

"Bury... bury me alive."

"Bury him." Soul Shadow threw out the shovel.

Many barbarians wanted to escape for their lives, but they walked to the side of the judge, and picked up the shovel to dig the earth and dig a hole in a daze.

Their consciousness is controlled.

Black Mist remained motionless.

Karl convulsed violently, and finally laughed hysterically, laughing at the decision made by the new king of the empire that failed him, laughing at himself for being stupid and greedy for merit, and even laughing at the ghost in front of him!
"Suffer in life and suffer again in death, poor thing!"

"I was prosperous, rich, powerful, and had thousands of wives and concubines during my lifetime. After death, I still live happily in the underworld!"

"What about you?"

"If you can stand on the top of a mountain and go to hell, in a few decades, who in the Central Plains will remember you?"

Karl is unscrupulous, since I am left with a little sobriety, why not insult me ​​rampantly!

Gu Chang'an was indifferent, and murmured in a low voice: "The people are safe and happy, and the nation will last forever. It's fine to leave me with a bad reputation forever."

"Keep digging."

He only hopes that his efforts will one day make ordinary people like grandparents no longer suffer and suffer, and no longer abandon their families and children to guard the border for decades, and the Central Plains will finally usher in a peaceful and prosperous age.

Just because I have suffered, I don't want the descendants of Huaxia to suffer again. Just thinking about it makes me desperate.

Seeing that the cemetery was getting wider and wider, Karl suddenly fell silent and stopped roaring. In fact, he always thought that Gu Changan was extremely stupid. How could there be such a selfless martyr in the world?

But when he was about to die outside the isolated city, he realized that the child who was born and raised in the isolated city, a city guard who watched the old soldiers die heroically, never dared to have another choice from the beginning to the end.

"It's too slow." Gu Chang'an's patience was exhausted, black mist gushed out, and the wind howled.

After he floated away, seventy intact corpses were buried in the yellow sand.

……

The sun is rising in the east, and the eastern glow is slowly advancing like a tidal wave.

The allied forces of the Central Plains rushed to both sides along the geese wing formation, and blew the heavy horn on horseback. The sound of the horn was layered on the battlefield in the early morning, like the drums of the gods rumbling endlessly.

The huge net of the barbarian army's trump card suddenly disappeared, and the sound of flesh and blood twisting like a millstone gradually stopped in mid-air. One by one, the barbarian cultivators followed the direction of the purple flag and began to evacuate to the south.

"kill!"

The whole wasteland is responding to the order of coach Xu Ting.

As if the gate had been opened, the black wave that had accumulated for a long time swirled and swirled, poured on the battlefield, and rushed towards the slow-moving barbarian camp in the south.

"Savage dog, revenge!!"

"revenge!!"

The shouts all over the wasteland and the flags of the Central Plains covering the sky and the sun indicate that the battle of the Western Regions has come to an end.

"Your Majesty, there are only eight hundred miles left..."

Li Deyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, wiped off the blood on his face, and looked at the empress in the cloud car of the Chinese army. The empress stood with a sword, blood dripping from the blade, and stared blankly at the far west.

"We won!" Li Deyu wanted to roar impassionedly, but his voice seemed low no matter what.

After breaking through the Yumen Pass, the way was overwhelming, and the barbarians did not stop them at all, and only carried out the strategy of fighting while retreating.

In fact, he knew, and the entire Central Plains Allied Forces also knew very well that the moment Chang'an died, the barbarians had achieved their strategic goals, and they didn't care about the next battle.

The Central Plains is still singing the praises. Chang'an saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers by himself, and sacrificed in exchange for hundreds of thousands of family members.

But in the eyes of barbarians, one Gu Chang'an is more important than hundreds of thousands of Central Plains soldiers.

If he hadn't made that decision, if he was still alive, and returned to Chang'an City safely, would he have saved tens of thousands of people in the future?

On the battlefield, "dang, clang, clang" sounded to withdraw troops, and the army formations died down, slowly moving towards the center.

Countless gazes looked into the distance, sixty years of official resignation, please angelica tonight, the ashes of the heroic soul have returned home.

"Your Majesty, come with me." The old lady Li Lian shouted softly, and left the team and galloped towards the northwest.

The empress followed silently until she arrived at a deserted and collapsed town after running for five hundred miles. Several steles had sunk into the yellow sand, only showing their outlines.

Li Lian patted the dust off the stele with his hands, and said sadly:
"I heard from Qin Carpenter in Gucheng that this is the only time Chang'an can relax and rest. His Majesty should bring this stele back to the Central Plains, and it will stand forever in the Taimiao."

On the stele are the ancient and vicissitudes of small characters, which have become blurred after years of vicissitudes, and can still be read if you try to get past them.

[We were born in the Great Tang Dynasty and entrusted with the protection of the peaceful and prosperous age of the Celestial Dynasty. When we were young, we never experienced military disasters or famines. We were summoned by the Son of Heaven to guard the border here for the Celestial Dynasty, relying on the prestige and prestige of the Celestial Dynasty to protect the safety of our side]

[Although the world is big, Chang'an is behind us, so why not be afraid of the barbarians]

Everyone's eyes were in a daze. It was the glorious Tang Dynasty during Taizong's Zhenguan period. All nations worshiped the Khan. At that time, the generals enjoyed the glory and the barbarians surrendered.

Below the stele is a line of extremely deep block letters, as sharp as the edge of a sword.

"It's unlucky for Shenzhou today. The barbarians are blessed by the heavens, and the arrogance is blowing up. My comrades died in battle bravely. Tell me, Gu Chang'an, to stick to the territory."

"Thousands of miles of desert, alone and alone."

"Although I didn't go to Chang'an to receive the saint's award, I didn't see the prosperous Central Plains, I didn't experience the majesty of the upper kingdom, and I didn't accept the glory of the warrior."

"But I won't take a single step back. Before I die here, the barbarians will never want to step into the territory of China!"

While thinking about it, the empress felt something seep out from the stone tablet, like Gu Changan's gaze, looking at her through years of time.

The Empress's limbs were stiff, she dared not move, she would break down emotionally if she moved.

"Your Majesty..." Pei Jingshu gently pushed her, trying to wake her up. Except for killing the enemy, she was in a trance for a long time, and her guilt and self-blame tortured her all the time.

The empress turned her back, her vision was blurred by tears, if she was given a chance to do it all over again, she would definitely not make that decision.

"Your Majesty," the master of the academy rushed over after hearing the news, and reminded softly:
"It's time to leave Kucha City."
