I Honor

: The Legend of the Torch

The believers in the courtyard were originally a little apprehensive and uneasy, but at this time they were overjoyed and joyful, and knelt down to the ground one after another, chanting the names of the four emperors:

“Salvation Yuan Huang Miaowu God, Salvation Hunyuan God, Salvation Xuanyang God, Salvation Universal God”

On the wall behind the leader, there are four meticulous paintings, which were drawn by him himself. The one at the top has a green robe like a fairy and a handsome face. The other three are in the lower row. Dazzling, shining outwards one after another, on her left is an emperor wearing a bright yellow robe, wrapped in black strips, while the woman on the right is as cold as the moon, holding a guqin in her hand, indifferent but not alienated.

After the believers finished reciting the names of the four emperors, the middle-aged scholar-like teacher raised his right hand and slowly lowered it.

Immediately, the noise in the courtyard disappeared, and there was no sound, which showed the strictness of the canon and the respect of the gods.

The leader He Yun coughed lightly: “The Four Emperors are about to come to eliminate the tide of demons. It is time for you to be pious. Whether you are talking about it or sincerely, the gods will be able to tell the difference.”

“The tide of the devil is easy to dissipate, but the pain is hard to get rid of. After all, people can’t escape death. Whether the soul returns to the nine secluded worlds, eternal life sinks, or serves the four emperors and enjoys bliss, all in one thought.”

His expression is full of fanaticism, but his heart is quite disdainful. The evil tide is coming, and the legend of the four emperors who saved the world that he fabricated is about to be punctured. Why don’t you take advantage of this to make a fortune, buy off the guards, and hide in the square where the strong and the rich are? City, where food is abundant, unlike outsiders who have daily purchase quotas

When the tide of magic passes, if you are still alive, you can start over in another city

When they heard that they wanted to show their piety, the believers were inevitably taken aback and looked at each other. At this moment, He Yun’s caring subordinate who had been placed in the crowd in advance stood up suddenly, took out all his belongings, ran to the four scrolls, kowtowed and shouted:

“Believers thank you, devout dedication, please save the world Yuanhuang Miaowu God’s blessing.”

In the crowd, one after another voices echoed with him:

“Hurry up, let’s go and donate quickly, we will be preempted by them if we are late, and we will lose the quota”

“The last few who donated must be dishonest, and they will anger the Emperor Yuan and lay down eighteen layers of hell.”

The atmosphere suddenly became crazy, and many believers began to scramble to be the first. He Yun smiled and was excited.

At this moment, a figure swooped down from the wall and jumped in front of He Yun. The five fingers of his right hand were clawed, wriggling like a blooming flower, and clasped several large holes on He Yun’s chest.

“Catch the head and handle the case, everyone squats down to avoid accidental injury,” the figure shouted loudly, the voice was clear and clear, like a gurgling stream.

With a bang, the gate was knocked open, and more than a dozen government servants carrying water and fire sticks filed in. They skillfully divided into two teams, closed from left to right, and surrounded the believers and He Yun’s subordinates.

When they heard about the arrest, the believers subconsciously crouched down with their heads in their hands. When they didn’t understand the situation and no one incited them, they were like sheep without any resistance.

He Yun looked at the headhunter in front of him, and saw that she was tall and slender, wearing a dark red headhunter, in her twenties, her eyebrows were slightly thicker but her beauty was not concealed, one leg was erect and the other was seldom curled up, as if she was gaining momentum Ready to go, as long as he struggles, he will immediately get kicked.

“What are you going to do?” He Yunneng has developed a cult from scratch, and he is by no means a man without courage. He kept calm and shouted sharply.

After the head catcher looked around, he met He Yun’s eyes with ink-like pupils: “In normal years, what kind of gods do people believe in and what kind of incense do they burn? The tide is coming, you are still spreading heresies, bewitching people, looting property, and disregarding the safety of Pingle City, you will be punished.”

What she said was so elegant that she seemed unable to adapt herself, wrinkled her nose, and added fiercely:

“In a word, boy, we have been eyeing you for a long time”

He Yun trembled, and said sternly: “You should think clearly that I am the envoy of the Four Emperors of Salvation, responsible for their arrival. If I am arrested, there will be no one to save the world. When the time comes, the demon tide will not know what will happen.” No matter how many people die, Pingle City can’t be kept.”

“Shut up” the female catcher’s face changed, she gritted her teeth a bit, “Listen to this catcher, there has never been any gods to save the world, our human race can survive until now, it is thanks to the predecessors and sages, and we are relying on ourselves ”

“When my father died at the head of Pingle City in order to resist the evil tide, there was no god to save the world”

“My ancestor sneaked into Jiuyou, tried to find a way to destroy the gap, and when he died tragically inside, there was no god to save the world”

“When my master assassinated the demon general and was torn apart, there was no god to save the world”

“My family of nine, the whole sect, and the tide of demons who died in battle, piled up into a sea of ​​corpses, there is no god to save the world”This topic made her emotionally agitated, her eyes were hazy and sparkling, and there seemed to be tears rolling around, and then she let out a long breath, her voice slowed down, tired but also firm:

“In short, it is not the gods who save the world that allow our human race to pass on the torch from generation to generation, but the ancestors who are not afraid of sacrifice, and each of us who hold our heads upright to meet the tide of evil”

The whole courtyard was suddenly quiet, and the silence could be heard falling needles. The believers more or less had relatives and friends who died in the demon tide, and felt a little empathetic for a while.

But it was precisely because of the cruelty of the sacrifice that they pinned their hopes on the illusory gods.

The female catcher tore off the four scrolls, crumpled them into a ball, held them in her hands, then turned around, spread her legs, walked to the door, waved her hands, and said in a hoarse voice:

“Take them away and put them in prison. If you need bait to deal with demons, find them among them.”

“Yes, Captain Qin.” The yamen servants respected her very much, and were shocked by the words just now, and they worked harder, tied up He Yun and several of his subordinates, and sent them to the prison.

On the vast wilderness, from time to time, immature sorghum rice can be seen that has not yet been harvested in the future. Farmers carry all kinds of cloth bags and squeeze into a horse-drawn cart in an orderly manner.

The horse pulling the cart seemed to be of demon blood, covered with black scales all over its body, and was extremely strong. Even if the cart was full of people, it could still walk like flying.

On the left and right of each carriage, there are capable soldiers and people from the Jianghu who ride similar horses. They have sharp eyes and a sturdy temperament.

The leader walked at the end, a middle-aged man with gray temples, wrinkled eyes and eyebrows, lost his left arm, and held a thick-backed long knife in his right hand. On the way to Lecheng, if there are people who fall behind, there is no one to rescue them, no one to wait for them, and they can only ask for blessings.”

The farmers did not speak and kept quiet, only children and those under the age of twenty were whispering, trying to make a noise, but they were glared at by those guys on horseback who were not easy to mess with at first glance, and then swallowed them back one after another.

Anyone with experience understands why this rule was established, and it was summed up from the lessons learned from blood and corpses many times

“Litou, how can you not wait for rescue?” There was a young man next to the leader, who was stunned when he heard the words, and didn’t understand how there could be such an inhumane rule.

The leader glanced at him, and said in a calm voice: “In every evil tide, there are teams that are trying to rescue or wait for the stragglers, and they are chased by evil spirits, from top to bottom, from old to young, and no one survives. ”

This one waits for a while, that one saves for a while, it seems that there are not many, but the total sum may be the boundary between life and death.

“You’re still young, you haven’t been out of the city during the demon tide last time, so you don’t know the cruelty here.” The leader said lightly.

The young man still couldn’t understand, he opened his eyes wide and said, “Yes, but the evil spirit hasn’t disappeared yet, it won’t take long to save someone.”

“When there is a trace of the demon, no one can run away,” the leader said in a deep voice, pulled the rein, and rode forward.

The number of carriages is limited, and each ride has to be full of people. The innermost are younger women and children, the middle are young men and middle-aged men with different appearances, and the outer layer is a lot of white hair. There are men and women. At the very edge, relying on the strength of both hands, it barely fell off.

The team moved forward quietly for a while, and an old man with deep wrinkles on his face began to tremble, and he seemed to be unable to hold the people inside. , fell from the carriage.

“Grandpa, Grandpa” His granddaughter in the center noticed his dangerous situation, crying and trying to reach out to her. For a moment, the carriage became chaotic. If it continued, more people would lose their balance.

At this time, the old man smiled slightly, let go of his hands, and fell back, his voice echoed:

“Daughter, live well”

Crack, he fell to the ground, hurt his muscles and bones, and couldn’t get up for a long time.

The cry of “Grandpa” faded away with the carriage.

Seeing this, the young man next to the leader was about to go to rescue him. Suddenly, there was a thick-backed long knife in front of him.

“Tou Li, you…” he was startled and angry.

The leader looked at him coldly: “Those who delay the march will be executed.”

His eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, which frightened the young man and made him dare not move, so he could only follow the horse and pass the old man.

Looking at the old man struggling to stand up and trying to walk towards Pingle City in the distance, the young man said sadly and angrily: “You, you have no humanity”

“I can only take care of more people.” The leader looked indifferently at the fast-moving team ahead.

“They are human beings, and he is also a human being. Why should his life be sacrificed? Can the lives of many people be more important than the life of one person?” The young man burst into tears and accused angrily.

“Yes.” The leader replied coldly, “In the tide of evil, as long as it is not an exterior scene, the majority is more important than the few, and they can better continue the human race.”

The young man was stunned and looked at the leader incredulously. What a cold and inhuman answer this was. He couldn’t help accusing again: “Tou Li, if you want to sacrifice yourself to save them, would you be willing?”

The leader suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, “Once upon a time, a carriage rolled over and my only son was on it.”

he smiles more than cryugly.

The young man looked over in astonishment, and the sound transmission from other teammates rang in his ears: “At that time, Tou Li chose to let the team move on and stay by himself, but he encountered a few demons lurking and tracking him, and lost an arm. I didn’t get back either.”

The leader withdrew his smile and looked at the front coldly but firmly. The human race can only go forward and not turn back in the way of survival.

Qin Shuanghua Qin Butou was emotionally agitated and couldn’t hold herself back. She walked back home step by step, and when the door was closed, she squatted down suddenly and wailed like a child.

“Shuanghua, what’s wrong with you?” Qin Shuanglian walked out of the house and dressed at home.

Qin Shuanghua was startled, stood up abruptly, wiped his eyes with the paper in his hand, and stammered: “Eldest sister, you, aren’t you in retreat?”

There are eleven members of the Qin family, only myself and this cousin are left.

Qin Shuanglian smiled slightly and said, “Of course I’m out.”

“Sister Chuguan, you, you have been promoted to location scene.” Qin Shuanghua was full of surprises, and when she saw Qin Shuanglian slightly nod her head, she cheered and jumped up and down, “It’s location location, you are a strong location location, and you are also a famous person in Pingle City.”

From childhood to adulthood, especially in the past ten years, my eldest sister has always been my role model and pride

Qin Shuanglian looked at her excitedly calmly, and said after a while, “Why were you crying just now?”

Qin Shuanghua was suddenly embarrassed and said: “I caught a cult leader earlier, and I was provoked by him to recall the things at home.”

When she said this, she came to her senses. She was so emotional that she kept grabbing the balls of crumpled paper from those scrolls and used them to wipe away her tears and snot. After spitting, it remained on the ground.

“What cult?” Qin Shuanglian asked indifferently.

Qin Shuanghua said contemptuously: “That guy is very vulgar, what is he called the Four Emperors of Salvation, huh, that’s how it is.”

She unfolded the ball of paper with her dexterous feet and true energy for the eldest sister to see.

“This is the God who saved the world Xuanyang, this one is the God who saved the world Hunyuan, and this one is the God who saved the world universally.” Qin Shuanghua unfolded one by one and introduced casually, and soon revealed the last one.

Qin Shuanglian listened with a smile all the time. At this time, the last portrait came into her eyes. It was like a fairy in Tsing Yi, with a handsome face.

Tsing Yi is like a fairy, with a handsome face Qin Shuang was stunned suddenly, her pupils constricted violently.

It’s him, the sky is dead, and Huang Tian should stand

Qin Shuanghua didn’t pay attention to her cousin’s strange behavior, she curled her lips and said, “This is the savior Yuanhuang Miaowushen. In fact, it’s not bad to call Yuanhuang directly.”

“Where is he, where is he?” At this moment, Qin Shuanglian rushed forward, grabbed her wrists, and asked in a voice, interrupting her words with extreme urgency.

Qin Shuanghua was stupefied with fright. Looking at the flushed cousin, she felt unfamiliar: “Who, who is there?”

I have never seen such an excited cousin, at least not in the past ten years

“It’s the person in this portrait,” Qin Shuanglian said eagerly.

“He, he’s just a false god fabricated by the leader of the cult.” Qin Shuanghua didn’t understand what her cousin was getting excited about. Could it be that she lost her mind when she broke through to the location?

“Where is the head of the cult?” Qin Shuanglian asked, her eyes turned red.

Qin Shuanghua was completely frightened, and stammered: “Big, big prison, big sister!”

Before she finished speaking, she was pulled by her wrist by her elder sister, dragged her into the air, and rushed to the prison. Qin Shuanglian’s eagerness made her confused and at a loss.

In the prison, He Yun and several of his subordinates were locked in a cell. The place was cold and damp, and there was a feeling of resentment and evil spirits appearing at any time.

When the yamen servants left, He Yun sat down slumped, with only a pile of straw at the bottom of his buttocks, and all kinds of horrible consequences flashed in his mind.

I heard that during the demon tide, the prisoners in the prison had no food and could only rely on each other to satisfy their hunger

The head catcher just now said that he would use us as bait to catch the evil spirits into a trap

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, trembling like several of his subordinates. After a long time, he stood up suddenly, rushed to the edge of the cell, grabbed the railing, shook it vigorously, and screamed:

“It’s wronged, my lord, the little one is wronged”

Just now, I should just kneel down and beg for mercy, and offer up all the property I looted in exchange for a lenient sentence.

The other prisoners were not surprised by this situation and continued to do their own things.

At this time, a subordinate walked up to He Yun, wondering, “Master, why don’t you pray to the Four Emperors of Salvation and ask them to lower their divine power for help?”

Although he is a caring subordinate, He Yun still worked hard to cultivate their faith, which is the guarantee of his special status.

Hearing this, He Yun gritted his teeth, smashed the jar and said, “There are no four emperors who saved the world, I made them up, I made them up.”

Before he finished speaking, there was light rising from the cell behind him, and four people appeared in it. The leader was upright in Tsing Yi with a handsome face. It was Meng Qi and the others who hadn’t had time to disguise themselves in the future.

The mouths of several subordinates opened little by little, their eyes were round and round, and someone said in an ethereal tone: “Master, really, there are really four emperors who saved the world.”

He Yun was furious: “I told you that I made it up, do you understand, I made it up?”

He turned his head and glared at several of his subordinates. He had never seen such an elm bump.It’s time to work together and get out of the cell.

As soon as he turned around, his eyes blurred, and the four familiar figures were in front of him, exactly the same as in the dream.

Plop, several subordinates prostrated themselves on the ground and said in a trembling voice, “Welcome to the savior Yuanhuang Miao Wushen!”

Really, really, He Yun’s legs went limp, and he sat on the ground slumped. Seeing the man in the blue shirt headed towards him, his crotch immediately became wet, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.

What the hell are they doing? Meng Qi frowned and began to operate Yuanxin Seal.

At this moment, two figures rushed towards them, they were Qin Shuanglian and Qin Shuanghua.

All the cellmates at the scene recognized this handsome head catcher, and knew that her sister was quite extraordinary, so they immediately stopped making noise and looked at them in astonishment.

Qin Shuanglian ran to the door of the cell, glanced at Meng Qi, and was no longer puzzled.

Then, Qin Shuanghua watched her sister suddenly kneel down, only kneeling on the ground, the elder sister of her parents and teachers fell on her knees

For a moment, she didn’t know whether what she encountered was real or illusory.

Qin Shuanglian knelt on the ground, thinking of her father who died in battle at the top of the city, of the nine dead souls of the Qin family, of those whom she knew and didn’t know who died of the evil tide, and of the heroes who died generously, and suddenly had mixed feelings, Two lines of tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, and he kowtowed heavily to Meng Qi:

“Senior, please save us”

“Save this world”

The voice was hoarse and heart-piercing.
