Chapter 3 Chapter 35 Fuxi Valley

I am speechless.In my impression, I always thought that Hai Lao would not obey anyone's orders, but I was wrong.I frowned, and said: "Gao Tiechong, who was on the way to the south of the imperial army, and the grandson of Hai Lao, who I met outside Fudun City, who came to the imperial capital with Zheng Zhao, together with Hai Lao, seem to be Another kind of person, am I right?" Hai Lao was startled, and said: "Grandson?" He thought for a while, and then said: "So you mean that. In fact, he is not my grandson, maybe he is related, but I don't know." I was surprised: "You don't even know?"

Old Hai sighed, and said: "You obviously don't have the ability to read minds, or you would have read my mind long ago. Have you ever had a woman?" My heart ached slightly, and I thought of Su Wenyue again.I said, "What does this have to do with women?" "Mind reading requires a virgin body. Once you practice it, you will become a child." Hai Lao smiled wryly, "How can I still have a grandson?" I was stunned, and said: "There are such strange things!" "Before you saw the snake man, did you believe that there were such people in the world?"

I said: "Master Tianji's "Huangyu Zhou Xingji" has records, but I had never read this book at that time, and I couldn't believe it at the time, so I dragged the corpse of a snake man to see Gao Tiechong, He just told me. What is the relationship between you and the snake man, Mr. Hai?" Hai Laodao: "It's not clear to say so, let me start from the beginning. I don't know if General Chu is interested?" My ears were about to perk up, and I said, "Of course, Mr. Hai, please tell me." Hai Laodao: "Then won't you let me go?" I hesitated for a while, and said: "Old Hai, please forgive me, you are too frightening for me, so I can't release you. Please tell me."

Hai Lao didn't insist either, paused, and said: "A long time ago, the world was different. At that time, people could use tools to fly higher than birds in the sky, and run faster than galloping horses on the ground." I said: "Yes. I also found two books at the beginning, which talked about the events at that time, but I didn't understand them very well, and I still don't understand what the materials on the pages are made of." "Do you think this is all true?" I thought about it and said, "Although I don't believe it, I dare not say it's fake. After all, it's too old and there is no proof."

Hai Laodao: "That's all true, our world is actually a remnant of the previous world." I was surprised: "The last world?" "Yes. The last world was the ancestors of you people. You must have heard that they are supernatural, almost omnipotent, and they were condemned by God." I laughed dryly, and said, "I always thought it was just a legend, after all, it's too unbelievable." Hai Laodao: "At the beginning, I also thought it was just nonsense, until I saw the snake man." "Snake man?" Hai Lao nodded and said, "How do you think the snake man got here?"

I frowned and said, "I heard that snakes lay eggs, so snake people must be the same." "Have you ever seen a snake man's egg?" I was stunned.I have been fighting snake people for so many years, I have never seen snake eggs, I can only see snake people appearing continuously.Not to mention the snake man, even the mother's snake man, I have only seen Princess Baihui in the past many years.I said, "Snake man's eggs should all be in Fuxi Valley, right?" Hai Lao nodded and said, "That's right. It's just that it's different from what you think, the snake man's eggs are not born from the intercourse of male and female."

I was stunned and said, "Then how did these eggs come from?" Hai Lao looked at me and said slowly: "We made it." I was stunned.After a while, he laughed dryly and said, "Are all the snake people created by you?" Hai Lao nodded, and said: "It can be said that there were only a few snake people in the past, but it's just that we have vigorously produced them in the past few decades, and the number of snake people has suddenly increased." My avatar is like a mess.Hailao's words really made it difficult for me to understand, I sneered and said, "How did you make it? Take an egg and read a few curses, and the snake man came out?"

I was already sarcastic, but Mr. Hai said: "We are not far away." "What did you create the snake man for?" I suddenly felt a little annoyed.Although I told myself that Mr. Hai would not lie to me, his words were too unbelievable.I said: "Don't forget, snake people want to eat people. You are not snake people, so you won't think your life is too long, and make some snake people to eat yourself?" Old Hai sighed, and said, "Believe it or not. We used to live in a very remote place. Maybe saying it's remote isn't enough, but that place is actually a crypt with no exit."

I said, "You are in the crypt? Since there is no exit, how did you get in?" "Maybe, it was sealed a long time ago." Hai Lao's eyes were a little confused, and his voice was much lower, "We don't know how long we have lived there, we only know that there are many generations. Although it is underground, it is still the same. There is sunshine, there is food, we are doing well, and we all feel that we should live underground forever." I said angrily, "How is this possible? How could it be possible to live underground for many generations? Elder Hai, I respect you as a human being, so I listen to you. If you lie to me with nonsense, don't blame me for being impatient."

Hai Lao looked at me, and said after a while: "Okay, then you can treat me as a whimsical story. These people have been living underground for countless generations, and have never seen the outside world. Until decades The day before, there was a sudden earthquake." I suddenly felt like I could barely breathe.This is not because Hai Lao used mind-stimulating techniques on me, but because I instinctively felt that although Hai Lao changed to tell a story, the story he told was more realistic.I didn't say anything, just listened attentively to Hai Lao's words. "The ground was opened, and these people discovered that there was another world outside. They were used to living underground, and no one thought about going out. However, disasters followed one after another. Everything they had underground, light, food, etc. ...After the earthquake, there was a sudden shortage. What's more frightening is that after the earthquake, even reproduction has stopped, and these people are facing the danger of extinction."

Although I still can't believe it, but Hai Lao's words seem to have a kind of magical power, so I have to listen, I said: "So you came out?" Hai Lao nodded and said: "When survival becomes a problem, everyone knows that staying underground is a dead end, so these people come outside. There is light and food outside. What's more, they hope to be able to live outside. Find a way to reproduce. But when they went outside, they found that it was completely different from the world they knew, and it turned out to be a wild world. Fortunately, they had a picture handed down from ancient times. According to the instructions of this picture, the place where they lived should still be There are five, distributed in various places, with the big river as the boundary, four in the south and one in the north. But when they tried their best to find it, they found that two in the south had been completely annihilated because of the age. So they found the south The last one, that is, the one located in Fuxi Valley." I opened my eyes wide, knowing that Mr. Hai was going to get to the point.The secret of the origin of the snake man is probably about to be revealed from his mouth.I didn't dare to breathe, I looked at him.Hai Lao's mask hadn't been removed yet, and he was also bound, but he looked so wise, as if he could see everything. "When they arrived at Fuxi Valley, they found that there was no damage and everything was intact. They were overjoyed. But after careful inspection, they discovered the difference." I was about to ask, "What's the difference?" Suddenly, I remembered what Hai Lao said just now that snake people lay eggs to reproduce, and asked, "Is that only applicable to snake people?" Hai Lao nodded and said, "Exactly. Snake people are completely different from us. Although the facilities in Fuxi Valley are well preserved, they can only be used by snake people, and are useless to us. This kind of unexpected surprise General Chu, you must know the feeling of disappointment instead." I know.I thought silently.On more than one occasion, I fell into despair before I could recover from the relief of my escape.I said, "You guys still don't give up? Isn't there the last one?" Hai Lao sighed, and said, "If the last one is in the wilderness, then there is no problem." I suddenly took a deep breath and said, "In our city?" Just as I said that, seeing Hai Lao nodded, I continued, "Is it Wuyun City?" Hai Laodao: "General Chu, your insight is really getting stronger and stronger." When the snake people went north to besiege the imperial capital, they couldn't help being a little impatient in terms of military tactics.Before the rear was settled down, they rushed to attack the imperial capital, but after the failure, the snake people were no longer able to launch a large-scale expedition.I said: "However, if the snake people were bred by you, why didn't you step up to make snake people after the failure of the siege of the imperial capital, and why did the strength of the snake people tend to decrease?" Hai Lao sighed again, and said, "General Chu, have you ever heard a saying called 'playing with fire and setting yourself on fire'?" I opened my eyes wide, trying to understand the meaning of Hai Lao's words.After a while, I said: "Could it be that the snake man also understands?" "I can't say I fully understand it, but although they used to be creatures, they are not just a weapon after all." Hai Lao said with worry in his eyes, "Back then, Master Tian decided to use snake people to fight against you. When the snake people broke through in one fell swoop When I was in Gaojiu City, I was already worried about the combat power of the snake people. When I first discovered the snake people, they were all half-human and half-beast things, but soon some people learned to speak, and they became better and better When I found out that the snake man was training himself not to be afraid of open flames, I was worried that one day he would not be able to control the snake man. But at that time, Master Tian only said that I was worrying too much." I said, "Master Tian? Is it your leader?" Hai Lao nodded and said: "There are more than twenty of us, half of us stay in Fuxi Valley, and the other half are assigned to various places." I pondered for a while, and said: "Old Hai, you were assigned to Wuyang City, right? The high-speed rail rushed to Wuhou's army before. But who did you send in Fudun City?" Hai Lao smiled lowly, and said: "General Chu, you don't need to ask these questions. In fact, you should also know that although our appearance is somewhat similar to yours, it is very different after all. You can guess it when you see it." I met the swordsman who called himself "God" outside Fudun City, he should be the kind of person Hai Lao from Fudun City.I said, "What happened next?" "When the snake-men were so powerful that they wiped out all the humans south of the river in one fell swoop, Master Tian finally became afraid. If this continues, the snake-men will already have an advantage in numbers. With their terrifying combat power, the snake-men After eliminating you, we will turn to the client, and we will not be able to control them at all.” Hai Lao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's really ironic. Master Tian thinks you are some terrible enemies, so he uses snake people to deal with you. But you can deal with them after all, but we have created another enemy that we cannot deal with. Come. Therefore, Master Tian decided to change his strategy." My heart was trembling when I heard it, and I said, "What strategy did you use?" "Contain the snake people so that you can defeat them one by one." I was taken aback, but soon understood.After the siege of the imperial capital, the snake people have not been able to organize another large-scale attack, and only now do they know that it was Tian Mage who deliberately consumed the strength of the snake people.I said: "The snake people were sent to die by you, didn't they notice?" "Master Tian strictly ordered them not to negotiate with you. Although there were snake people who suspected it, they were ordered to die before they found out, and they had no time to do anything." Hai Lao sighed and said, "Although Master Tian , but he was self-willed and determined to go his own way. He misestimated the ability of the snake man. He made the first mistake, and then made the second mistake. He underestimated your ability. You not only withstood the attack of the snake man , and also launched a counterattack. At this time, Master Tian has fallen into the quagmire and cannot extricate himself. The elite among the snake people have doubted their god. Master Tian must let these snake people die early. But the snake people who have doubts are all People with very strong abilities, once these snake people die, they will not be able to stop your attacks, and finally they have reached this point." There is a saying in chess that "one careless move, and the whole game is lost". Master Tian made two bad moves in a row, and this game is doomed to failure.I said, "Old Hai, since you see everything clearly, why don't you give him some advice?" Hai Lao sighed: "Among us, there are also two factions. Most of them follow Master Tian, ​​and plan to use the snake people to destroy you and then eliminate the snake people. I suggest to get in touch with you and exchange the knowledge we have. He wanted it, but it was rejected by Master Tian." He paused, and said: "What he wants is that you and the snake man will both lose." I said, "Old Hai, who are you?" Hai Lao raised his head and said, "It's not important. General Chu, this time I was ordered to come here. I didn't intend to succeed in the first place. I just wanted to ask General Chu for one thing." I said: "What is it?" "The snake people are doomed to perish, and you will never spare them. I just want you to spare my fellow clansmen when you strike." Elder Hai paused, "Also, Ah Lin will definitely do the same. I missed it, please let him go." Perhaps, this is the real purpose of Hai Lao, and he also knows that the assassination is impossible.I said, "Ah Lin? Is that the one who came with you to assassinate? He doesn't seem to be your clan." Hai Laodao: "The two brothers are orphans who were abandoned. I adopted them when I arrived in Wuyang City." My heart skipped a beat and I said, "Brother? Does he have a brother?" "That's right. It's just that the two brothers have very different personalities. Ah Lin only learned swordsmanship, and Aaron didn't like swordsmanship, so he learned a lot of miscellaneous things. However, Aaron got lost more than ten years ago." Hai Lao sighed, " He is your kind, different from us, even though Ah Lin came to assassinate you, General Chu please spare him." That Ah Lin was beaten to death by Feng Qi with a single bullet.It's just that my heart is overwhelming now, and all I think about is about Zhang Longyou.That Ah Lin is so similar to Zhang Longyou, he must be Zhang Longyou's twin brother.Back then, under the National Monument, we each talked about our father's expectations for us, and only Zhang Longyou said that he did not have a father.At that time, his expression was a little weird. I just thought that Zhang Longyou's father died early, and he didn't want to mention it. I didn't expect that there would be such an inside story.No wonder, Zhang Longyou knew so many strange things, so he was Hai Lao's disciple. Just as I was thinking about it, Hai Lao suddenly said: "So Aaron is in the imperial capital? It's really unexpected." I just felt creepy and jumped back unconsciously. This sentence made me murderous. Hai Lao can also read minds... Having Zheng Zhao by my side already made me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles.Zheng Zhao has learned my way and can no longer read my mind, I even forgot that Hai Lao can still!With mixed feelings in his heart, Hai Lao's eyes also turned from consternation to disappointment.After a while, I said in a low voice: "Old Hai, I'm sorry..." Elder Hai didn't say anything more.Since he can read my mind, he naturally knows what I'm thinking.He looked at me and said in a low voice: "Okay, General Chu, I just ask you one thing." "No." I was afraid that I would soften my heart again, so I took another step back and said, "Old Hai, your kindness will always be remembered in my heart, but please remember, Mr. Hai, we are all different, so don't expect me to be kind." .” I was desperately thinking about the time Hailao asked He Congjing to send troops to attack and kill the imperial army who came to reinforce in Nan'an City.If it hadn't been for He Congjing's sudden awakening at that time, the alliance between the Imperial Army and the Republican Army would have been completely broken, and the previous victories would have been wasted.Even if Hai Lao really wanted to live in peace with us, I would never believe it, just like he said he didn't want to come, but he still came to assassinate me. Hai Lao looked at me, his eyes were shining brightly.I didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore, and shouted, "Feng Qi!" Feng Qi walked in together with the three Ten Swordsmen.He must be still thinking about what I told him just now, and he was vigilant when he came in.I said, "Feng Qi, bring me a glass of poisoned wine." Feng Qi was stunned, and said, "Captain, what do you want poisoned wine for?" I just felt that Hai Lao's gaze was piercing my back like an awl.I straightened up desperately, and said, "Give that old Hai a glass of poisoned wine and let him drink it." Poisoned alcohol is only used to deal with middle and high-ranking officers who have committed capital crimes, so that they will not be decapitated, and death will be easier to die.Feng Qi must have been greatly surprised, but he didn't say much, and walked out after saluting.Not long after, he was already holding a jug of wine and a cup, placed them in front of me and took out another piece of poison wrapped in a sausage casing, and whispered: "Captain, it's all here." I peeled off the casing, sprinkled the poison inside into the cup, filled the cup, and whispered: "Go behind him and let him drink it." Feng Qi was still a little puzzled, but he didn't say much, picked up the cup and walked behind Hailao.I looked at Mr. Hai, and said, "Old Hai, if you want to scold me, please feel free to do so." Mr. Hai smiled wryly, and said, "Everyone has his own aspirations, and each is his own master. Why should I scold you?" There was no longer that strange look in his face, but he was full of sadness, and said, "General Chu, so you are the same. The so-called equality of all things is really just a deceptive empty talk." No matter what kind of alien he is, his eyes are the same as that of a person now, so disappointed, more precisely, despair.I lowered my head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Old Hai." I turned and walked out.Hai Lao didn't use mind-stimulating technique on me anymore, and now I ordered him to be poisoned to death, but for some reason, the glass of poisoned wine seemed to be drunk by me, so bitter.Is the so-called equality of all things really empty talk?Hai Lao can't do it himself, and neither can I. Perhaps, only people in the distant future can do it.I thought about it, but I felt in my heart that it was more likely that I would never be able to do it. "Controller, are you alright?" Cao Wendao's voice suddenly sounded.I raised my head, only to see him and Lian Baice hurrying over.The Chinese army was assassinated. Although they camped on the outskirts, they still rushed over when they heard about it.Seeing them, my heart felt warm and I said, "It's all right." Cao Wendao sized me up and down, leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Is the control done by those people from the Republican Army?" I looked at Lian Baice on the side, and said, "No, it was sent by the snake man. How is your team organized? You should launch an attack tomorrow." When talking about the military situation, Cao Wendao's spirit also came up, and said: "Please don't worry, the commander, I have practiced with Lao Lian once, and the morale of the brothers is also very good. But you have to be more careful, those monsters will actually send people to assassinate. How did the long worm kill the Chinese army?" I said: "The assassin is not a snake man." Cao Wendao was startled, and wanted to say something else, Feng Qi raised the curtain and walked out, saw that they were all there, he bowed first, and said: "General Cao, General Lian." Then he said to me: "Captain, that man has already died." Cao Wendao was startled again, and said, "Tong Zhi, you killed the assassin? Have you finished asking?" I said: "Don't ask, you go back first." Cao Wendao didn't say anything more, he bowed with Lian Baice together with his feet together, and said: "Obey." But when they turned around, Cao Wendao turned his head and added: "Feng Qi, be more careful, don't make any mistakes." Feng Qi is my personal soldier, so it is not Cao Wendao's turn to give orders, but he said it so sincerely, Feng Qi saluted and said, "Don't worry, General Cao." After Cao Wendao and Lian Baice left, Feng Qi whispered, "Captain, what should we do with that man's corpse?" "Is there another one?" "It's still piled up in the back now." I sighed, and said: "Get two coffins to bury them, let's bury them." There are always a few coffins in the army. In fact, they are all prepared for me and the five commanders of the Wude Battalion. Among them, my coffin is the largest and thickest. Officers and soldiers below the middle level are buried on the spot after death. Only ashes.Feng Qi promised, and was about to go down, I said: "The old man's coffin will be mine. Let the worker engrave a tombstone and write the words 'Elder's Tomb'. The sea of ​​the sea, the old man's old." Feng Qi didn't think too much, and said: "I obey." He called a few soldiers to carry out the cage from my camp.I stood at the door, looking at the thin and lifeless figure in the cage, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart. Elder Hai finally died.Maybe it will be my turn next. I smiled wryly.The night wind was bitter, and occasionally a sentence or two of the passwords of the soldiers on guard when they changed their guards could be heard in the wind, which was torn to pieces by the wind and could not be heard clearly.
