Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1050 Nightmare (two in one)

Two Mohist disciples were chatting while following the big hammer around in the forest.

"It's a bad day today. It's dark and cold. I can't see anything."

As he spoke, he rubbed his sleeves, as if he was a little impatient with the strong wind howling in the mountains.

Another person nodded and agreed, "It's not that bad. He's so dark that he can't even walk too fast. He can't even see a little further away."

Sledgehammer turned his head back and forth to survey the surrounding environment, while interjecting, "So pay more attention to unusual movements, listen more and look less, and use things other than your eyes more."

"The giant will come back tomorrow. I don't want to cause any trouble tonight."

The disciple of the Mo family smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Tie, you said it easily, the wind is so strong today, and we are not you, how can we hear the sound!"

Sledgehammer didn't react much to his men's less than honorable response.

Mohism pays attention to rules, but not etiquette. Although everyone has a subordinate relationship with each other, it is not to the point where one must always pay attention to his speech and behavior.

"If the wind is loud, just focus on the noise that doesn't sound like the wind. As long as you concentrate, you can always detect a little bit."

Big Iron Hammer explained his thoughts to the two disciples seriously.

However, the two of them just looked at each other and smiled bitterly at each other.

It is said that when talking about truth, I burst into tears, but when it comes to matters, I burst into tears.

Sledgehammer sounds easy to say, but in fact it is based on a person's hearing being good enough.

For a person like him who is relatively accomplished in martial arts, basic skills such as listening to the wind and positioning are not a problem, and he can naturally distinguish various types of sounds clearly.

But it is very difficult for ordinary disciples of the Mo family to achieve this step.

In this pitch-black environment where they can't see their fingers, they are half-blind - half-blind means they have the eyes of a blind man but not the hearing of a blind man.

If someone else had spoken like this, these two Mohist disciples would have given him a Versailles Award, but they still knew enough about their Iron Commander.

They just have no brains.

Sledgehammer didn't know the inner slander of the two disciples, and he didn't care whether they could listen to his words and deal with him truthfully.

Because he is a person with a strong sense of personal responsibility, or it can be described as macho and heroic.

Since Sledgehammer participated in this night patrol, in his opinion, this work was completely entrusted to him.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the two Mohist disciples can play their role. Anyway, he will be responsible for carrying the whole audience, and the brothers can just lie down and lie down.

………………

On the other side, inside the Mo family's organ city, Tianming, who went to bed early tonight, no longer looked as carefree as before when he was sleeping soundly. His face was twisted, and his hands and feet were moving unconsciously, as if he had a nightmare.

Gai Nie, who was also a little uneasy and planned to come to see the dawn, saw the young man in this state as soon as he entered the door.

Gai Nie did not show any signs of panic, nor did he rashly wake up Tian Ming. He just silently walked to the stool beside the stone bed and sat down, with his eyes lowered and half-closed, observing Tian Ming.

Before waiting for a moment, Tianming bent over and kicked his legs, and suddenly grabbed his hands upwards. At the same time, his eyes suddenly opened and widened. His eyes were full of confusion and surprise, and his face was covered with sweat.

"Huh...huh..." Tianming woke up, but his mind was still dazed, and he was breathing heavily like an unconscious machine.

Gai Nie waited until Tianming's eyes became clear and he was sure that his mind had returned, and then he softly asked with concern, "Tianming, are you okay?"

"Uncle?" The familiar voice brought Tianming back to his senses. After responding almost like a whisper, Tianming immediately called out again in a slightly trembling and frightened voice, "Uncle!"

"I...I...had a nightmare."

Gai Nie looked calmly at Tianming, who was still a little confused in his thoughts, and did not interrupt to speak, silently waiting for him to sort out his thoughts and explain everything.

After taking a few more breaths, Tianming finally regained consciousness and began to recall the nightmare just now, and told Gai Nie:
  "I just... seemed to have appeared in a very strange large room."

Gainie followed his words and asked, "What kind of room is that, Tianming?"

"Just...I can't tell." Tianming kept waving his hands, trying to describe the room with both hand and mouth, "It's very big, very empty, and...there are many tall pillars, and oh, by the way, there are doors. , many, big doors, but it’s like a veil is covering my eyes and I can’t see anything clearly.”

"I can see some figures and they feel familiar, but I can't remember who they are..."

"I feel... I feel..." At the end of the sentence, Tianming's tone became more hesitant, and he hesitated for a long time before saying the second half of the sentence, "I feel like I have forgotten a lot of things."

Gai Nie's eyes became darker and darker, but he concealed it well and did not let Tian Ming notice anything was wrong. He comforted her softly, "It's just a dream, don't worry about it."

"You don't feel any discomfort, do you?"

"Uncomfortable?" Tianming was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched his neck, then shook his head and said, "No, I just felt a little breathless when I was dreaming. I'm fine now."

After a moment of silence, Gai Nie, whose mind was racing with thoughts, said concisely and concisely as always, "It's okay."

"Just go on and rest. By tomorrow morning, you can completely forget about this nightmare."

"Oh." Tianming nodded blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Ganie said this, he left Tianming's room and returned to his own room.

Without thinking too much, Gai Nie was certain that Tianming's nightmare must have been caused by the influence of the sleeping curse seal.

The huge and empty room reminded him of the palaces and pavilions of Xianyang Palace, not to mention the familiar but unrecognizable people.

The contents of these dreams are related to the past.

The only thing that puzzled Gai Nie was that Tianming was just a baby at that time. Even when he left Xianyang Palace, he was not completely out of his infancy. Logically speaking, it was impossible to remember things at all.

Even if it is a dream, people and things that do not exist in the memory should not appear, right?

Or is it that dreams have such a miraculous effect that even the deepest part of the mind and the most superficial impression from the early days of life can be reflected?

Gai Nie couldn't figure it out, and he had no intention of worrying about the dream.

He only knew one thing - he must take Tianming to Taiyi Mountain as soon as possible to seek help from Bei Mingzi.

It's just that... Gai Nie couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the dangerous situation that Guan City was facing now.

The future of the Mo family is currently uncertain, and the next journey for him and Tianming has also become uncertain.

He is the best sword master in the world, but... he is just a sword master.

Some things are destined not to be controlled by a swordsman.

For Gai Nie at this time, the best person who can relieve Tianming's crisis is undoubtedly Gu Xun.

But the problem is, he hasn't figured out what Gu Xun wants to do...

………………

"Huh!" At dawn, he jumped out of bed with a sudden jerk. He stayed there for a long time with a tired look on his face, and finally walked out of the house with his legs.

After Gai Nie left, he began to try to fall asleep again, but he didn't know if it was the influence of the nightmare. He always slept soundly and fell asleep just by touching the pillow. He couldn't fall asleep for a long time. After rolling around on the bed for more than ten times, he was still helpless. Got up. It was really boring to stay in the house alone in the middle of the night, and it was inconvenient to disturb Genie who should have been resting, so he had no choice but to go out for a walk in the morning.

Speaking of which, tonight is indeed a good time to take a stroll, because many people in the city are still awake.

Tomorrow the giant will come back with a group of anti-Qin forces. Naturally, everyone in the Mo family cannot afford to neglect and prepare for many things in full swing.

These matters have actually been arranged one after another for a long time, but now we definitely need to check more to make sure they are correct.

Mohism does not attach as much importance to etiquette as Confucianism does, but this does not mean that they have no manners. There must be no lack of etiquette.

Therefore, after leaving the room at dawn, he found that Mohist disciples would walk by in a hurry from time to time.

Tianming didn't care at first, but later he discovered why more and more people were showing up.

Before he could think too much, Shaoyu, Qianlong and Aci walked around the corner of the corridor and appeared in front of him.

"Huh?" Tianming straightened his back and scratched his head, wondering, "Why don't you guys sleep either?"

Seeing that this silly boy seemed to know nothing, Shao Yu rolled his eyes helplessly and explained, "Something happened. It seems that an enemy has invaded."

"what!"

………………

The time came not long ago, in the mountains behind the city.

Big Iron Hammer led his two subordinates to carefully inspect all areas of the back mountain.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped, his head turned back and forth, and his ears trembled, as if he was listening for something.

"Commander, is there something wrong?" a disciple asked.

"Hmm..." Big Iron Hammer frowned and nodded, "There seems to be something not quite right."

The two disciples also hurriedly glanced back and forth, activating their other senses at the same time, trying to find out what was wrong.

However, the two of them did not hear anything like a sledgehammer. Instead, they smelled some problems.

"It seems...the smell of the wind is not right, it smells a bit unpleasant."

Another disciple also arched his nose hard when he heard the sound. After taking a few deep breaths, he nodded and said, "Well... something is wrong."

Sledge Hammer made a direct judgment at this time, "It smells of blood, there is definitely something wrong!"

The three of them immediately picked up their weapons at the same time and were on guard.

After a period of searching, Sledgehammer finally found a place where there was no movement, and hurriedly rushed over, "I finally found you... chase me!"

The other two disciples quickly followed.

Under the illumination of torches, the three of them chased deep into the forest.

After chasing for several miles, Big Hammer finally seized an opportunity...or rather seized an opportunity that he thought was an opportunity, and threw the huge hammer weighing a hundred kilograms in his hand violently.

To be more precise, this hammer is called Mjolnir.

The tail was pulling a thick iron chain, and Mjolnir roared and hit a thick tree in the distance, making a muffled sound.

The big hammer held the chain in his hand, and he pulled it back hard, then put the hammer back in the blink of an eye.

Holding his weapon tightly, Big Iron Hammer frowned and looked around, reminding, "There's something wrong with the sound. Be careful."

The two disciples nodded, holding the long sword, and cautiously moved towards the position where the big hammer launched the attack.

The big hammer is at the end, ready to respond at any time.

After a few people got closer, they were finally able to see clearly what was going on there - lying on the ground was a monkey bleeding from its orifices and killed by the force of a big hammer.

"Commander, you're just a monkey."

Sledgehammer twitched his nose a few times, shook his head and said, "No, the smell of blood here is too strong."

"With such strong winds, there's no way a monkey could have had this effect."

Although his IQ and EQ were not worth mentioning, as a battlefield veteran, he still had the most basic judgment and he immediately noticed the problem.

At this time, a Mohist disciple suddenly felt a chill on his face, as if some liquid was dripping on his face, and he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it.

When he put his fingers under the firelight to see, he found that it was blood.

At the same time, Big Iron Hammer and another disciple also discovered blood dripping from above.

The three of them looked up at the same time. At this moment, the dark clouds drifted away from their previous positions and released the moon that had been blocked for a long time.

Then, under the moonlight, several bodies hanging on big branches, swaying slightly with the mountain wind, came into their sight.

The pale faces, dripping blood, and bodies swaying in the wind all proved that these people wearing Mohist disciple uniforms were all dead.

The big hammer was shocked at first when he saw this, then he gritted his teeth and became furious, and hit the tree trunk next to him with the hammer.

There are indeed only three people in charge of patrolling the mountain, including him, but this does not mean that there are only three of them in the back mountain area. There are people who take turns guarding each entrance and exit twelve hours a day.

The corpses in front of me are undoubtedly some of those people.

Even though he was angry, Big Hammer did not forget his responsibilities and ordered through gritted teeth:
  "Quick! Send a signal to alert the inner city!"

The other two disciples, who were somewhat frightened, came to their senses immediately after hearing the sound. They hurriedly took out their respective flares and found an angle to launch them without the obstruction of leaves.

boom!boom!
  Two fireworks, one behind the other, exploded in the sky, dazzling in the dim night.

The disciples on duty inside the organ city immediately received the warning and passed on the information about the enemy invasion.

Master Ben, Xue Nu and other senior officials were immediately alarmed.

However, the support team was not dispatched immediately.

The enemy's situation was unknown, and their first priority was to ensure that there would be no problems within the city, so their immediate response was to send additional manpower to handle the main entrances and exits.

After these arrangements are made, the issue of support manpower can be considered.

In the final analysis, the current lack of manpower in the city is the fundamental reason why they cannot prioritize the safety of the patrol team.

Of course, their trust in the strength of Sledgehammer is also part of the reason.

They felt that even if the enemy was very difficult, they wouldn't be able to leave the big hammer in the dense forest at the back of the mountain for a while.

The problem they need to consider now is that they don't have enough manpower to send support.
