Chapter 25 Chapter 24 Jihad Legends

"It's a long story." Soturan said quietly after a moment of silence.Following his next narration, everyone's thoughts were misty, and they entered another distant time and space... This is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation among the Hamo people.Before listening to this story, it is necessary for us to know a few characters that are not yet familiar. Alia, the most powerful warrior of the Hamo tribe at that time, had fought in Li Dingguo's army for many years, and was also the representative of the thirteen warriors mentioned by Suo Turan just now.

Helay, the most beautiful girl of the Hamo tribe, the daughter of the tribal leader. Bai Wenxuan, Li Dingguo's confidant general.Back then, the one hundred Hamo elephant soldiers obeyed his dispatch.In the fierce battle at Yanguan in Guangxi, Aliya had saved his life, so he had an extraordinary relationship with the warriors of the Hamo tribe. In addition, we need to understand the "uncanny valley" in more detail. The "uncanny valley" and the village of the Hamo people are located in the same mountain basin, but the geographical forms of the two places are very different.The villages of the Hamo people are located in the most low-lying part of the valley, with a flat area and close to water sources, making them very suitable for living. "Uncanny Valley" is outside a low mountain. Compared with it, the altitude here is much higher, and the jungle is dense and the terrain is steep.

The low mountain between the two places extends to the southeast. Three or four miles away, the mountain suddenly rises and forms a cliff. The straight walls are not on the same plane, but staggered up and down, and connected by a smooth arc-shaped mountain wall in the middle. Behind this cliff is a series of towering mountains, but close to the edge of the cliff above, Tiangong created a low-lying depression here, and the surrounding mountain streams converge into this depression, forming a A "hanging lake" hanging on the mountainside. With the different rainy and dry seasons, the water storage in the hanging lake is full and short.If there is continuous heavy rain, the water in the hanging lake will overflow from the top of the cliff, flow all the way down, form a "double-stacked waterfall" along with the mountain, and finally flow into the mountain pool in the Hamo village.

After knowing these situations, and turn back time with time, back to more than three hundred years ago.Let us see what happened that summer in the legend of the Hamo people. There has not been such a heavy rain for many years, and the hanging lake on the top of the mountain has already overflowed, and the water level of the mountain pool in the Hamo village has also risen a lot.Many villagers who originally lived by the pool had to relocate to higher ground. Fortunately, they have long been accustomed to hunting life, so it is not difficult to move. At this moment, what worries the Hamo people even more is the continuous war not far away.

The war between Li Dingguo and the Qing Burmese army has lasted for three years.Li Dingguo is undefeated by virtue of the treacherous mountains and mysterious "demonic power".However, the strength of the Qing army was continuously replenished, and they were stationed outside the Valley of Fear. Under such a situation, the Hamo people who were located at the key point undoubtedly became a force that both sides tried their best to win over. The Hamo tribe had been friends with the Nanming army for many years. Because Li Dingguo used evil witchcraft in the army, thirteen warriors left, and the relationship between the two sides also appeared cracks.Since then, the Hamo tribe has remained neutral in this war.Both Li Dingguo and the Qing court sent people to lobby many times, but the leaders remained unmoved.The two forces may be dissatisfied with this, but no one dares to offend the brave and skilled Hamo people who occupy the right time and place at the same time.

The leader of Hamo is over fifty years old, he is upright and full of wisdom.Although he did not participate in the war, he paid close attention to the development of the situation.Whenever there was a battle, he would take two of his entourage and climb over the dwarf mountain to observe the battle situation. These days, there seems to be some changes in Li Dingguo's army.Their barracks are constantly moving to the northwest, which has attracted the attention of the Hamo tribe.The old leader realized that Li Dingguo's army would have a big move, so he turned to the opposite side of the mountain to inquire every day.He usually sets out early in the morning and returns to the village in the afternoon.But one day, until it was dark, the leader still didn't come back.

The clansmen had a vague premonition, and the leader's daughter, Helayi, was so worried that she didn't close her eyes all night.In the morning of the next day, Li Dingguo's envoy suddenly came to visit the village. This envoy was none other than Bai Wenxuan, who was inextricably linked with the Hamo warriors. Aliya and Helay met with Bai Wenxuan on behalf of the Hamo people.When old friends meet, there is naturally some emotion between Aliya and Bai Wenxuan.After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Wenxuan brought news related to the old leader. According to Bai Wenxuan: The old leader was discovered by a small group of Qing army scouts yesterday while he was looking over the mountain.The Qing army wanted to take the leader away, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides.Due to being outnumbered, two Hamo followers died in battle one after another, and the old leader was also seriously injured.At a time of crisis, Li Dingguo arrived with his men, drove away the Qing soldiers, and rescued the old leader back to the army.After emergency treatment, the leader's life was no longer seriously affected, but his mobility was limited and he needed to rest for several days.He came here this time to help the old leader send a message, asking Miss Helay to visit him in the barracks, and to discuss important matters with him.

Bai Wenxuan had a very close personal relationship with Aliya and others, but this time he brought the scimitar that the old leader carried with him as a token.Everyone in the Hamo tribe was so emotional that they didn't doubt what he said.Knowing that her father was saved from danger, Herai was both happy and grateful, and immediately ordered to prepare the best banquet to entertain the guests from the "uncanny valley". At noon, the host and guest sat down, and everyone drank happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The relationship between the two parties, which had been frozen for three years, seemed to be thawed through this incident.When the thirteen warriors met the old master, they naturally stepped forward one after another, toasted in turn, and drank happily.Bai Wenxuan has a bold personality and never refuses anyone who comes, and he was quite drunk after a while.

After drinking too much, the crowd gradually dispersed, and finally only Helay, Bai Wenxuan and the thirteen warriors were left at the table.Herai respected his status and only accompanied him in the chief seat. He didn't drink alcohol and didn't talk much.Bai Wenxuan and others talked more and more happily, recalling the heroic feelings of fighting together in the past, and talking about Alia saving Bai Wenxuan's life, everyone was even more somber. Talking about the comfort, Aliya suddenly sang the military song of Bai Wenxuan when he led the team to the expedition, and the other Hamo warriors followed suit.When Bai Wenxuan heard the familiar singing voice, his eyes were dim with drunkenness, and his expression fell into a daze. When everyone sang to the climax, he burst into tears.

The warriors stopped singing and asked Bai Wenxuan why he was crying.Bai Wenxuan didn't answer, but just beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking extremely sad.Everyone was surprised and asked again and again.Aliya stood up even more angrily, claiming that if Brother Bai had any difficulties, the brothers would go through fire and water without hesitation. In this situation, it seemed that Bai Wenxuan could no longer restrain the emotions in his heart.He suddenly turned over and knelt down in front of the Hamo people, unable to get up for a long time.All the warriors were shocked, and quickly knelt down to return the salute. Even Helay stood up at this time, with a shocked expression on his face.

"General Bai, you are a good friend of the Hamo people. If you have any troubles, please be frank and straightforward. Our whole tribe will do our best to help you." Although Helayi has never been out of the village, he was taught by the priests since he was a child. Thanks to their careful education, she spoke Chinese both beautifully and fluently. While speaking, she walked slowly to Bai Wenxuan's side, reaching out her hand to help him up. Bai Wenxuan raised his head and looked up at the most beautiful Hamo woman in the legend.I saw her graceful figure, graceful manner, dressed in white, she looked like a fairy. Herai looked at Bai Wenxuan with two bright black eyes, those eyes were pure and transparent, without any worldly dust.Bai Wenxuan didn't dare to meet her eyes, and quickly prostrated himself on the ground again, and said in pain, "Everyone treats me like a family member, but I am sorry to the Hamo tribe, to all brothers, and to the pure and innocent girl Helay." Helay frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Why did General Bai say such things?" "The Hamo tribe is approaching catastrophe, and will soon be wiped out!" Bai Wenxuan finally mustered up the courage to say what he had kept in his heart for a long time. "The catastrophe of extinction!?" Aliya suddenly started up, and forced him to ask Bai Wenxuan, "What do you mean?" At this point, it is meaningless for Bai Wenxuan to hide and hide again. He was heartbroken and said bluntly: "The old leader was not injured by the Qing soldiers, but was ambushed by Li Dingguo. Those two followers were killed by Li Dingguo. He killed it with his own hands. Now, Li Dingguo is planning a terrifying conspiracy to wipe out the entire Hamo clan!" "What?" Helay took a step back in shock, and murmured, "Our Hamo tribe has never offended Li Dingguo, he...why would he do that?" "Li Dingguo has always been cruel to those who betrayed him." Bai Wenxuan looked at Aliya and the others and said, "You have violated his taboo when you left without saying goodbye. In the past three years, we have been in a bitter battle with the Qing and Burmese troops. And the Hamo tribe’s slow reluctance to help made him extremely dissatisfied.” "Our Hamo warriors have fought with the Nanming army for many years, and we have never complained about anything." Aliya retorted angrily, "It was Li Dingguo himself who believed in the magic of evil spirits, so we left. Could it be that we are all to blame? up?" "No, it's not just because of these. General Bai, the matter is very important, please speak frankly!" Helay calmed down at this moment, and looked at Bai Wenxuan seriously. Bai Wenxuan let out a long sigh: "The girl is not only extremely beautiful, but also talented and intelligent. Yes, there are more important reasons for Li Dingguo to do this." "What?" All the Hamo people looked at Bai Wenxuan in unison, waiting for his next words. "After three years of bloody battles, although Li Dingguo's army remains undefeated, they have already run out of food and supplies. The valley of terror is dangerous and difficult to provide the supplies needed by the army. In comparison, the cottage of the Hamo tribe is much richer. ..." Although Bai Wenxuan didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was very clear: Li Dingguo took a fancy to this fertile land and wanted to use it for himself.The hearts of everyone in Hamo sank. This is a matter of life and death for both parties, and there is no possibility of mediation and concession! After a moment of silence, Alia gritted his teeth and said, "The Hamo people have lived here for generations. If Li Dingguo wants to rob us of our land, he must first ask the warriors if they agree with the scimitars in their hands!" "I know that each of your warriors can be as good as ten, but it's useless." Bai Wenxuan smiled sadly, "Li Dingguo has already filled the mountain wall in front of the hanging lake with saltpeter gunpowder, and as long as he gives an order, you will be killed." We want to blow up mountains to divert floods and flood Hamo village!" Hearing this, Aliya and the others all changed their expressions.They are all people who grew up in the mountains, so they naturally know the severity of mountain torrents.Hamo Village is located in a low-lying area and is next to a mountain pond. If the Hanging Lake is really blown up, the flood water that fills the lake will pour down in an instant, and the entire village will be washed away immediately! After a long while, Helay came back to his senses a little, and said with a wry smile: "What a vicious method... In this case, why did Li Dingguo send General Bai to come?" "This..." Bai Wenxuan was ambiguous, as if it was difficult to speak. "General Bai, you are a good man with an open heart." Helay's big black eyes flashed, "It's okay to speak up." Bai Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "There are rumors in the army that Miss Helay is not only a Hamo, but also the most beautiful woman in the world. Li Dingguo was reluctant to drown her, so he sent me to lure her to the 'Valley of Terror' ', so that the girl... stays... stays in the army..." Before Bai Wenxuan finished speaking, Aliya was already so angry that his eyebrows and hair stood on his head.He shouted violently and drew his sword in his hand: "Li Dingguo! You shameless devil! I will fight you!" The other warriors also jumped up one after another, and they were about to rush out after Aliya.Helay was extremely anxious, and quickly uttered a crisp cry: "Stop, you can't go!" That voice seemed to have an irresistible magic power, and more than a dozen young men all stopped in unison.Helay breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Li Dingguo is not only vicious, but also has a bravery that is invincible. What's more, he has so many fighters under his command. Isn't it for nothing that you go to die like this?" "Then what should we do?" Aliya opened his angry eyes, and his red eyes seemed to be bleeding, "Are we just sitting here, waiting for the flood to submerge the whole clan?" Helay did not answer Aliya's words, she turned around, put her hands on Bai Wenxuan's arms, and said sincerely: "General Bai, please get up." Bai Wenxuan stood up in a daze, and Helay led him to the luxurious chief seat, bowed and gave a slight salute: "General Bai, please sit here." Bai Wenxuan looked confused, and sat in the main seat at his mercy.Helay took two steps back, faced him and said, "General Bai, the thousands of lives of the Hamo people, old and young, are in your hands now. You are kind-hearted, and you will definitely help us escape this catastrophe." Aliya calmed down at this moment, and his heart moved: "That's right. Bai Wenxuan is Li Dingguo's closest confidant. If he can stand on the side of the Hamo tribe, there is a possibility of turning the tide." Bai Wenxuan looked embarrassed, and was silent for a while before he murmured: "I drank too much today, thought of personal affairs, and leaked military plans. I am already an unfaithful and unrighteous person to General Li and the Ming Dynasty. Hera According to what the girl said just now, it is going to push me into a situation where there is no redemption." "Li Dingguo is no longer the former General Li!" Aliya couldn't bear it anymore, and took a step forward and said, "He has sold his soul to the devil. Now, his heart is full of evil, and the devil controls his army. General Bai If you persist in your obsession and do evil together with him, then you will truly be lost!" Bai Wenxuan's body swayed slightly with a dazed expression, as if he had been told the secret pain in his heart.Helayi was also sadly moved at this time: "My Hamo tribe lives in the mountains and forests all the year round, and I don't compete with the world. Li Dingguo is so vicious, if he wants to destroy my whole tribe, he is no different from a devil. He will be punished by heaven. He left to do justice for the heavens, how could he be disloyal and unrighteous? I am now representing thousands of people of the Hamo clan, general, please accept my worship!" Having said this, Helay actually knelt down on both knees and bowed deeply.Aliya was also unambiguous, turned over and knelt beside Herai, and at the same time said loudly: "Please, general, follow the sky!" "General, please follow the sky!" The other twelve warriors repeated in unison, and fell to their knees with a "crash". Bai Wenxuan closed his eyes and looked up. After a long time, he finally nodded in pain, and two lines of muddy tears flowed down his cheeks. Afterwards, Helay invited the high priest of the Hamo tribe at that time, and everyone discussed for a whole afternoon.In the evening, Bai Wenxuan left the village and returned to the military camp in the Valley of Terror to report to Li Dingguo.The Hamo tribe selected two warriors with strong feet and set off overnight to get in touch with the Qing and Burmese troops. In the early morning of the next day, all the young and middle-aged men of the Hamo tribe were summoned.Helay told everyone about Li Dingguo's conspiracy, and the crowd was furious, determined to fight to the death. Helay set off first with the thirteen warriors.They prepared four rattan boxes, and when they reached the valley of terror, Aliya and the other three most brave men got into the boxes, and the rest of the warriors carried the boxes and followed Helay into Li Dingguo's barracks . Bai Wenxuan was already waiting in the camp. He led a group of people outside Li Dingguo's military tent. Li Dingguo's personal followers stopped at the door and wanted to check everyone and the boxes. "They didn't carry any weapons. I've checked the gift from the Hamo tribe to General Li in the box, and there is no problem." Bai Wenxuan said from the side.In the army, he was under one person and above ten thousand people, those followers immediately stepped aside, allowing Helay and others to enter the army tent. Li Dingguo was sitting in front of the plan in the tent, carefully studying a sheepskin map on the case, and behind him were two guards standing with their swords.This legendary powerful and invincible "demon" is armored, with a square face and long beard, thick eyebrows and sword eyes, and a very dignified demeanor.Bai Wenxuan first made a respectful salute: "General, Helay, the daughter of the leader of the Hamo tribe, has arrived." Li Dingguo raised his head and saw Herai stepping forward gracefully, with his right hand folded on his chest, and bowed deeply: "Herai is here to meet the heroic General Li Dingguo of the Ming Dynasty." All the warriors behind her also put down their boxes at this moment , Qiqi knelt down on the ground: "See General Li." Li Dingguo looked at Helay and seemed quite satisfied. He said: "Okay!" and stood up from the chair.He was tall and muscular, and when he stood up, he immediately brought out an extremely oppressive aura. Li Dingguo looked at Helay, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said solemnly: "You left without saying goodbye, but you violated my military discipline!" His eyes were like lightning, full of terrifying penetrating power.The warriors had long put life and death aside, but under the persecution of such eyes, they all felt an irresistible sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts, and they all lowered their heads and kept silent. After a moment of silence, Li Dingguo suddenly shouted: "Come here!" Immediately, a personal follower flashed into the account: "General!" "You take Miss Helay to the western tent, and let her meet the seriously injured father first." "Follow the order!" The attendant agreed, and made a courteous gesture to Helay, "Please come with me, girl." Herai nodded, and calmly followed the man.But the hearts of all the warriors were tense: According to the news revealed by Bai Wenxuan, if Li Dingguo dismisses Helay, it means that he will do it immediately. His own life, and even the survival of the entire tribe, are at the most critical moment. The moment!Everyone held their breath and watched Li Dingguo's every move closely, not daring to relax in the slightest. Li Dingguo paced back and forth in the military tent with his hands behind his back, his steps were vigorous, and each foot seemed to be stepping heavily on everyone's hearts.The atmosphere in the military tent was almost suffocating.Bai Wenxuan stood aside, although he pretended to be calm on the surface, a lot of sweat involuntarily oozes from the palms of his hands. Finally, Li Dingguo stopped, pointed to the boxes and asked, "What are these?" "This is a gift from our Hamo tribe to General Li." The warriors quickly replied, "To repay the general for saving the leader's life." "En." Li Dingguo turned to look at Bai Wenxuan, "Open it and let me see." With a promise, Bai Wenxuan walked up to a box, opened the lid of the box, and stepped aside: "General, please!" Li Dingguo glanced at it briefly, and saw that the box seemed to be full of precious medicinal materials such as caterpillar fungus.He nodded: "Well, all right, close it." Bai Wenxuan didn't move, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "General, there are still things under these medicinal materials, which are the most precious treasures of the Hamo tribe. The subordinates don't dare to flip them without authorization. General, please take a closer look!" "Oh?" Li Dingguo didn't doubt that there was something wrong, he stepped forward two steps, bent down to flip through the herbs.As soon as his right hand poked in, he felt something was wrong, and frowned in surprise.At this moment, a figure suddenly rose from under the medicinal materials, and his left hand firmly held Li Dingguo's right arm, a cold light flashed in his right hand, and a machete slashed towards his neck. Li Dingguo reacted very quickly, turned his head and flicked, the blade slanted his head, and chopped at his shoulder socket, his flesh and blood burst open immediately.Li Dingguo yelled violently, and swung his right hand. His force was unstoppable, and he threw the attacker with a knife far away. The person hiding under the medicine is Alia.Seeing that the blow was not fatal, he turned over with his strength, jumped up, and rushed towards Li Dingguo again with his saber.The two guards in the tent had already drawn their swords and stopped in front of Li Dingguo, shouting loudly at the same time: "Come here! There are assassins!" A dozen or so relatives waiting outside the tent poured in one after another, while other warriors of the Hamo tribe also jumped up at this time, taking out weapons from the box.The two sides felt into a ball, the small military tent was in chaos, and it was in chaos in an instant. Li Dingguo looked badly injured, his armor was already stained red with blood.All the relatives desperately fought each other and surrounded him in the middle.However, he only took a short breath, then drew out the sword at his waist, and killed outside the circle. Seeing this, a Hamo warrior immediately rushed towards him with a scimitar. He did not back down, and greeted him forcefully with his sword.When the swords collided, the Hamo warrior felt his arms and wrists sore, and the scimitar was swung far away. Before he could react, the light of the sword flashed again, drawing a terrible wound on his waist. Li Dingguo had the upper hand, but he did not pursue him. Instead, he walked towards Bai Wenxuan who was standing at the door, and growled in a low voice, "You betrayed me?!" Bai Wenxuan's face turned pale, and he retreated step by step out of the military tent, followed closely by Li Dingguo.It just so happened that a soldier rushed over. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help being stunned: "General?! What's wrong with you?" Li Dingguo saw that his armor was not in order and his expression was flustered. He realized something and shouted: "Report the military situation first!" The soldier knelt on one knee: "Report to the general. The Qing army, the Burmese army, and the Hamo tribe are besieging our barracks in three groups!" Li Dingguo's heart was clear at this time, he raised his head, let out a wild and desperate laugh, and then said viciously: "Pass my military order, the soldiers of each department are divided into defensive areas, and those who escape without permission, beheaded!" "Obey!" The soldier agreed, and did not leave, but looked back and forth at Li Bai and Li Bai with worried and puzzled eyes. "Go! You don't need to take care of this place!" Li Dingguo sternly yelled, the soldier kowtowed deeply, finally got up, and hurried to the barracks to deliver orders. "Why are you like this?!" Li Dingguo opened his eyes wide and stared at Bai Wenxuan not far away. Bai Wenxuan also drew his sword at this time, and his expression was extremely complicated. After a while, he murmured: "General, I, Bai Wenxuan, am sorry for you..." "I'm sorry? Good! Good!" Li Dingguo's eyes almost burst into flames. He held up the sharp sword in his hand and pushed towards Bai Wenxuan step by step. ... In the army tent, the thirteen Hamo warriors headed by Aliya and Li Dingguo's guards fought bitterly.These two groups of people are all battle-tested and climbed out of the dead, and they fought hand to hand.After a thrilling fight, only Aliya survived, and he was already bruised and exhausted.He had no time to catch his breath, so he braced his body and came outside the military tent, looking for Li Dingguo who was injured and survived. At this time, the sound of fighting around the uncanny valley was loud, and Li Dingguo's army was fighting desperately with the enemies who attacked from three directions.It was quiet around the main general's tent located in the core of the barracks, and the breath of death permeated the air. A bloodstain stretched westward from the entrance of the military tent until twenty or thirty paces away.At the end of the bloodstain, stood a tall figure. Although he couldn't see his face, Aliya recognized it at a glance: this person was Li Dingguo. Aliya held the scimitar tightly and tiptoed over.After walking more than ten steps, he realized that there was another person in front of Li Dingguo: Bai Wenxuan. In the place near the two of them, the bloodstains were messy, and it seemed that there had been a fight.The result of this confrontation is solidified in the rustling mountain wind, which is clear at a glance. Bai Wenxuan's long sword was out of his hand, swinging far away, the blade was also bent.He himself knelt in front of Li Dingguo, with his head pressed against the ground, and his posture was no different from lying down. Li Dingguo's long sword was resting on Bai Wenxuan's neck, and he could kill him immediately with a wave of his hand.But he didn't do that, both of them remained motionless, like statues.Only blood was still pouring out from the wound on Li Dingguo's shoulder, dripping down on the grass. Aliya was so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat.Finally, he quietly came behind Li Dingguo, but the other party didn't seem to notice.Aliya held his breath, held the knife in both hands, and stabbed Li Dingguo's vitals fiercely, with a soft "poof", the blade entered his body until it reached the handle! Aliya was ecstatic at first, but then he was surprised: Li Dingguo was stabbed, but there was no response.He struggled to pull out the scimitar, and the opponent's figure shook, and then fell straight down.His eyes were wide open to the sky, and two lines of blood and tears were streaming down his cheeks. It turned out that he had been dead for a long time. Bai Wenxuan prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling slightly. Although he was not injured, he was still stained with a lot of blood.Aliya walked up to him and gently pushed him: "General Bai?" Bai Wenxuan raised his head suddenly, his face was pale without a trace of blood.After a long time, he murmured, "Ah...Aliya?" "Please, General Bai, that demon is dead." Aliya said while reaching out to support Bai Wenxuan.Bai Wenxuan stood up leisurely, looked at Li Dingguo's body not far away, with an expression as if he had passed away. He just walked around the gate of hell, and he already felt the cold sword edge on his neck.But that sword didn't cut down in the end. why? Did Li Dingguo die from exhaustion at the last moment? Or, there are other unknown reasons? Aliya didn't have time to think about these questions, because he saw Helay running towards him.He rushed to meet him and asked in his native language, "What's the matter with the leader?" Helay was out of breath, with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "Father...has been killed by Li Dingguo's army." Aliya let out a howl of pain, he turned and ran to Li Dingguo's body, swung a knife and cut off the dead man's head, cursing: "Li Dingguo! You devil, you will go to hell!" Helay seemed frightened by the bloody scene, she took a step back and asked Aliya, "You...killed him?" "Yes!" The warrior raised his head proudly, "Dear Herai, please stay here, it is the safest place right now. But for me, the battle is not over yet." After saying these words, Aliya ran towards the battlefield where the killing sounds shook the sky. ... Although Li Dingguo's army was besieged from three sides, the soldiers all had amazing strength and courage. They fought hard for a long time, but still did not lose the wind, until Alia appeared in front of them.This young man of the Hamo tribe was covered in blood and exhausted. It seemed that he could be pushed down with one finger, but the thing in his hand had a terrifying deterrent force. "Li Dingguo is dead!" Aliya climbed to a high place, screamed with the last of his strength, and then threw Li Dingguo's head into the battle group. As if the source of strength had been taken away, the fighting will of Li Dingguo's army collapsed in an instant.Some of them were beheaded in shock, some chose to surrender, and some were defeated and fled to the jungle. The last force of the Nanming Resistance Army disappeared from Chinese history. The Qing and Burmese armies are celebrating their victory.But the most exciting ones are the warriors of the Hamo tribe. They won a "jihad" and saved the fate of the tribe.Aliya was lifted up by the tribe and thrown high into the sky. He became the greatest hero in the history of the Hamo tribe. The explosives by the hanging lake were removed, and the abnormal movement of Li Dingguo's army a few days ago also proved that this terrible conspiracy is only one step away from being implemented!While everyone in Hamo rejoiced secretly, they all hated Li Dingguo's cruelty and viciousness. On the other hand, although Li Dingguo is dead, his remaining prestige is still chilling.His wide open eyes were full of anger and hatred, and no one dared to look at him. Helay tried to close the dead man's eyes many times, but even if he covered his eyelids with his hand, it would open again by itself after he let go.The old priest who rushed over saw this situation and said worriedly: "He has a lot of grievances, and it is difficult to rest in peace. Although he is dead, his demonic nature still exists. I am afraid that he will cause disasters in the future." Hearing what he said, the Qing soldiers didn't really care, and the Burmese and Hamo people would live here for generations, so they were a little nervous.Bai Wenxuan felt ashamed in his heart, and his face changed drastically. "Then what should we do? There must be a solution." Helay had no idea, so he could only ask the old priest for help. "I think the best way is to seal him in a blood bottle." After thinking for a long time, the old priest finally said, "Let the clansman curse him for generations, and make his soul wander in hell forever, with no one to rely on. There is no way to hurt anyone anymore." Helay's body trembled violently: "The curse of the blood bottle? This...is this too vicious..." "To deal with demons is to use vicious means." Aliya said from the side, "Dear Herai, you shouldn't be so soft-hearted. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of our clansmen for generations! Moreover, this is also the leader who died revenge." When mentioning her father, Helay was stunned for a while, tears welled up in her eyes, she didn't raise any objection, it was a tacit consent. The old priest took Li Dingguo's blood and made a blood bottle with a unique method.This "blood bottle" witnessed the great victory of the Hamo tribe against the demons, and became the most precious "sacred object" in the tribe. According to the hereditary tradition of the Hamo people, Helay was supposed to be the new tribal leader, but she refused: "Let the heroic Alia be the leader of everyone. And I have more important things to do. " The "important thing" Helay said was to keep the tribe's sacred object: the blood bottle.She proclaimed herself a "Saint", although she did not have the power to lead the people, she walked alone and was not controlled by anyone. The day when Li Dingguo was killed was designated as the tribe's "Jihad Day".Every year at this time, the priests will gather all the tribesmen to perform sacrificial activities and celebrate the victory of the "holy war". One of the most important links in the sacrifice is to curse Li Dingguo's soul.At this time, the saint will always carry the blood bottle on her chest, and then stand with her back to the people. "My body is pure. Your vicious curses must be washed by my body before they can represent the power of justice." She explained her behavior in this way. The stories about "jihad" and "blood bottle" have been passed down from generation to generation among the Hamo people. Hundreds of years later, its meaning has already surpassed the scope of war. That period of heroic history has become the most sacred in the hearts of the whole people. Faith has become their unshakable spiritual pillar in the face of any difficulties and desperation.
