National color raw owl

The cold wind outside the house is like a child howling in pain, and the rustling sound from the big tree seems to be mocking the howling of the cold wind, so the cold wind hits the big tree outside the house fiercely.

Xu Shun shivered, and then continued: "People die every day, and they kill each other. I...I really can't bear it. When the team assembled the next morning, I realized that the team was already small. A lot of people died, although some people died at night, but...but the number of people is not the same at all."

Chu Huan immediately understood: "Someone escaped from the team at night."

Xu Shun nodded slightly, without denying, "Military regulations are strict. If you leave your post without authorization, you are a deserter. The punishment for deserters in the army is very severe, ranging from being sent to jail to beheading. I was so afraid that I died for no apparent reason. Rather than waiting to die, I might as well run away. There may be no way out. I remember that in that night, 200 people disappeared...!"

"Of course this is just the beginning." Chu Huan said with a sneer, "This gap has opened up. If Feng Hanxiao can't handle it well, more and more people will escape in the future."

"General Feng sent a few people to hunt down the deserters. Although most of the deserters disappeared, they also captured a dozen of them." Xu Shun said, "General Feng's military law is ruthless, so naturally he will not forgive them. He chopped off the heads of more than a dozen people with a knife. General Feng told us that the desert is boundless. Once you leave the team and have no one to guide you, it is impossible to get out of the desert. Once you get lost in the desert and run out of food and water, you can only wait Die." There was a strange smile on his lips, as if he was talking to himself: "If you stay in the army, you may be killed at any time. If you escape, the water and food on your body can last at least a month. Account, everyone can figure it out clearly in their hearts."

"In the following days, people were killed in the middle of the night every day, and people escaped every day. After only walking for more than ten days, there were only a thousand people left in the team." Xu Shun said softly: "Everyone knows in their hearts that every day there are people who appear Such strange things are all because of the haunting of those ghosts from the Lotus City. Many people secretly worshiped to the west, begging the ghosts to stop torturing us, but it was useless. People died every day, and people escaped every day. The general didn't care about the deserters later, and he didn't send anyone to chase whoever ran away, leaving them to fend for themselves. After more than 20 days, I was exhausted, and... and the ghosts have been there since then It started to entangle me...!" He raised his head and gave Chu Huan a strange smile: "Every night, when I fall asleep, the ghosts of the Lotus City that I killed come by my side Walking back and forth, they are still crying in my ears...!" His hands trembled: "The pair of siblings who were killed by me, they...they They would sit next to me every night, one sitting on my left and one sitting on my right, all covered in blood, just looking at me like that, I wanted to run away, but no matter where I ran, when I sat down, they It will appear on my left and right...!"

While Chu Huan was listening, he was thinking about the reasons why these strange things happened.

Naturally, Chu Huan would not believe that those wolf soldiers were really entangled by ghosts. In his opinion, the greatest possibility was of course that the brutal massacre in Lotus City cast shadows in the hearts of those wolf soldiers, which caused psychological problems. Great question.

If individual wolf soldiers appeared in a state of madness at the beginning, then similar incidents increased rapidly after that, it is very likely that the wolf soldiers at the beginning unintentionally gave psychological hints to other companions.

The people of the Buddha Kingdom were hospitable to the guests, but the wolf soldiers avenged their kindness. They not only entered the city to slaughter, but also set fire to the Lotus City. Although the wolf soldiers couldn’t say much about such despicable things, they must still have a sense of guilt in their hearts. Under the guidance of the generals, panic spread in the army, and some wolf soldiers with weak psychological quality collapsed, became mentally abnormal and killed their comrades by mistake.

Chu Huan felt that this should be a good explanation.

But deep down in his heart, he still felt that things would not be so simple.

If those wolf soldiers are ordinary poor people, because of the chain reaction of psychological hints in a special environment, it can be explained, just like the spread of the Heavenly Gate among the people, the simple-minded people are easily brainwashed, and as the forces Spread, so that more ordinary people have the mentality of conforming to the crowd.

But Feng Hanxiao had three thousand elite wolf soldiers under his command.

The three thousand wolf soldiers were carefully selected from an army of nearly [-]. At that time, when the world was fighting for hegemony, they fought and killed every day. Before the three thousand wolf soldiers slaughtered the people of Lianhua City, It's not that they haven't done similar things before. They were used to seeing blood and corpses during the war of iron and blood. Their mental quality is extremely strong, which is more than a star and a half stronger than ordinary people. The massacre of their own compatriots did not make them mentally collapse. However, massacring a foreign city caused a large number of them to fall into a state of mental breakdown, and even swung their knives at their companions because of this. Chu Huan only felt that this was really unreasonable.

At this moment, another person appeared in Chu Huan's heart. If it wasn't for Xu Shun in front of him, Chu Huan might never remember that person again, but now the impression of that person clearly appeared in Chu Huan's eyes. in the mind.

After Lin Dai'er gave birth to a child, she ran away from home. Chu Huan went to look for it, but ran into King Yasha and Meiniang, and Chu Huan rescued Meiniang. After entering an ancient temple in the mountains, Chu Huan still remembered that the ancient temple was called Gushui Temple.

In Gushui Temple, Chu Huan not only discovered the adulterous affair between Xiao Heng and his aunt, Mrs. Xiao, and threatened him with this, but also found a sick monk named Xinhui.

Xinhui was terminally ill and dying at the time, but Chu Huan judged from the armor he kept that he was a wolf soldier with thousands of households back then, and Xinhui was haunted by nightmares all the time, saying that there were ghosts haunting him day and night Asking him for his life by his side, Chu Huan didn't know what Xinhui meant at the time, but today he suddenly realized that Xinhui, like Xu Shun, was a survivor of the westward march to Lotus City, and both of them had Also haunted by nightmares for many years.

Xu Shun was silent for a moment, still thinking about himself and said: "That night, the person around me finally had a seizure. Fortunately, I was always on guard. He wanted to jump over and kill me. How could I let him succeed and kill him alive with my hands? Strangled to death." With a weird smile, "At that time, no one was nosy anymore, whether someone had an attack, everyone only cared about themselves, as long as they didn't do anything to themselves, no matter what happened, they just watched coldly. I strangled that People, other people don't say a word...but I can't take it anymore, I can't stay there...!" His eyes flickered, and he said softly: "So that day I just I was about to leave, and I deliberately didn't hand in my weapons. At that time, everyone was in danger. If they didn't hand in their weapons, no one would really come to check. At night, I would sneak away alone, and I wouldn't go with them anymore.. ...."

"You left alone?" Chu Huan asked.

Xu Shun said with a smile: "Everyone wants to kill other people, so naturally I can't be with others, I can only leave secretly by myself...!" At this point, he suddenly shook his head: "No, not alone, And...there is that pair of siblings, they have been following me, I have been walking for a long time, I don't know where I am, General Feng is right, in the desert without a guide, you will get lost, as long as If you get lost, it's just a dead end." Hehe smiled: "That's irrelevant, staying in the army is also dead, no matter what, it's just a word of death, I don't know it in the desert. How long have I been walking, and I saw corpses several times on the road, hahaha, those are deserters, they also lost their way in the desert, and then died in it... By the way, one day, I also ran into a deserter who was alive , his water bag has run out of water, he is lying in the desert waiting to die, and when he sees me, he asks me to save him...!" His eyes became cold and severe, "I think they all belong to Qin people. For the sake of it, I wanted to give him a sip of water, although the water in my water bag can't last for two days, but... hehe, he actually wanted to kill me with a knife while I wasn't paying attention, but it's a pity that he was too strong Small, the speed is too slow, I found out, and in turn hacked him to death...!"

Chu Huan sighed in his heart, under the crisis, the viciousness of the human heart was fully revealed.

"Two days later, there is no water in my water bag, and the dry food has been eaten two days ago...!" Xu Shun said dreamily: "I can only have no direction in the desert. Walking around, the pair of siblings have been following me, hehe, I know why they followed me, they wanted to see where I died, that's it, they must want to watch me die, I just Walking, walking, non-stop, I know that if I stop and fall, I will never get up again...!"

Chu Huan was a little curious at this time. Xu Shun was lost in the desert alone, with no water and food. He was hopeless. Logically speaking, he would never survive, but how did he return to Qin.

Chu Huan knew that it was more than 20 years ago that Feng Hanxiao went west to pursue the prince of Lu, and Mrs. Xu said that Xu Shun came back only [-] or [-] years. Hometown, where is Xu Shun in the past ten years?

"I've been walking for a long time, and I'm really tired...!" Xu Shun's face also showed exhaustion at this moment, "I don't know how long it has passed, I can't walk anymore, I don't want to fall down, But... At that time, I was too tired and just wanted to lie down and sleep. I sat down and talked to the siblings for a while. I told them that I was going to die and they could go home No need to follow me anymore... They just looked at me like that, didn't speak, kept looking at me, I was lying in the desert, they stood beside me, watching me fall asleep... ..!”
