Chapter 38 People of today, roads of ancient times(1/2)
Jingle bell bell, jingle bell bell~
The sound of camel bells brought a little ripple of "life" to the gray sky, but it was quickly annihilated in the endless haze. Nothing has changed, but change has indeed occurred.
Have you ever seen a camel in the wilderness?
Or……
Uduna?
In the prairie language, it means "tenacity". Of course, in the prairie language family that combines divine language and primitive tribal languages, it can only mean "tenacity" when it is attached to a definite noun.
When it is expressed alone, it is a unique ranking, referring to this kind of camel.
They are silent and have stoic brown eyes.
No hair.
The outer skin is black, wrinkled, and not stretchy at all, like tanned leather. Soldiers who often patrol the borderlands will sharpen their knives directly on it.
Its towering hump stores a large amount of food and water, which can sometimes be cut open by desperate warriors to eat. Food and water are secondary, but the most important thing is the soul-vitalizing power contained in it.
Human monks use soul-generating stones to fight against the ubiquitous resistance and erosion in the desert. Wuduna does not need it. Wuduna can generate the soul-generating power to fight against the desert. This is also what Wuduna belongs to the human race and not the demon race.
prove.
The lives belonging to the demon clan are not afraid of that kind of "drying out". They are part of the "drying out". The life activities of all monsters, together with the environment, form the "drying out".
An ordinary war horse has no qualifications to cross the line of life and death and enter the wilderness. And when a powerful demon horse steps here, it also needs the power of the soul stone to resist the environment.
"Uduna" is the most common beast of burden here.
For thousands of years, they have carried humans and marched into the depths of the frontier and wilderness again and again. They are not only chariots, but also food, not only armor, but also comrades-in-arms.
Older scalpers than old scalpers.
No one would be willing to take the knife to Udu Na unless it was absolutely necessary.
Cutting open the hump means the final moment of death for many soldiers. This behavior is called "Yi Che" on the grassland, which describes the act of cutting the hump with a knife, but the meaning is "suicide". And
It is honorable, and dishonorable suicide cannot be expressed as "Yi Che".
On the day Jiang Wang came to Bianhuang, it was said that it had just rained, and there was a rusty smell in the air. Jiang Wang suspected that the rain here was caused by knives.
Yu Wenduo told him, "Absolutely."
Jiang Wang asked again what the rain here looked like.
Yuwen Duo only said that he would know when it rains.
Since then Jiang Wang has been waiting for rain.
A team of dozens of Uduna, together with nearly a thousand warriors from the Mu Kingdom, walked out of the gray haze. The long winding dragon was a vague line spreading through history.
Bianhuang is a place Jiang Wang has always wanted to come to, not just because this is the place where Zhao Rucheng once fought for his life.
Including Border Wasteland, Yu Yuan, Meteor Immortal Forest, Gate of Ten Thousand Demons... He wanted to see, experience, and feel all the places where human beings faced danger.
Extraordinary strength, extraordinary courage, extraordinary responsibility.
This is his simple understanding of practitioners deep in his heart.
That's why he has always been more tolerant to ordinary people than to monks. Not only because monks are more destructive, but also because "those with power bear their responsibility."
This understanding was first established by Zuo Guanglie.
Bianhuang is the frontline between humans and demons. Zhao Rucheng fought here, and Zuo Guanglie also fought here.
The two countries of Jing and Mu fought heavily on the line of life and death, and over the long years, they charged against the demonic tide again and again.
In this land, there are so many heroic sons and daughters, so many heroic epics, and so many tragic songs of happiness.
Now that we have come to the grassland, how can we not come to the borderlands?
Don't forget history and don't lose sight of the future.
At this moment, Jiang Wang stood on the other side of the line of life and death and saw the return of such a team of "demon hunters".
On one side is green grass like the sea, on the other side is the sky full of gray sand.
Life and death, passion and silence, separate such a clear line between heaven and earth.
This feeling is so desolate, and at the end of the desolation, there is a wisp of ancient heat.
This line of life and death is the dividing line that the human race has drawn for this world. It is the mark that generations of human warriors have carved in this cruel world with their iron blood and steel swords.
Here, on the line between life and death, is a never-ending fight and blood that never dries up.
Behind the line of life and death is an endless fertile land with billions of human beings.
And what about the front line of life and death?
Where are the places where the bones of countless brave men are buried, the depths of the endless quicksand, and the passage connecting the tombs of all realms? What does it look like?
Jiang Wang stood with his sword in hand, and Chitong Qianyang could not see the end.
Yuwen Duo and the returning demon hunter chatted loudly about the harvest. Jiang Wang kept a suitable distance, listened quietly, and showed respect with a sideways gesture.
The two countries, Jing and Mu, have never stopped attacking the depths of the desert. On the one hand, they need to kill a large number of evil demons, hoard soul-creating stones, and reserve war resources for future fights against the demonic tide. On the other hand, this uninterrupted hunting of demons requires
Action can also effectively reduce the intensity of the demonic tide.
However, demons are not pigs and dogs that can be slaughtered at will. Demon hunters often have to pay a higher price than demons.
There is a famous problem on the grassland
Why is the grass so green at this end of the line between life and death?
And everyone knows the answer.
Because so many people have shed their blood for it.
Even in an era when divine power was at its peak, this was a problem that had never been covered by divine light on the boundless grassland.
"Do you really not need me to follow you?" After exchanging information about the nearby area with the demon hunting team, Yuwen Duo came back and asked.
Jiang Wang just smiled.
"Okay." Yuwen Duo shrugged, "I'm a burden."
"Stop talking about yourself like that." Jiang Wang comforted, "You're just a little weak."
Yu Wenduo:?
Jiang Wang looked at the haze and seemed to see the shadow of the gray vulture in Mo Lake. He said casually: "Don't make the atmosphere so deep. So many people can enter the border wilderness. What's my problem?"
Yuwen Duo said: "Hunting demons is a very dangerous thing, especially when traveling alone... I know it is useless to say this, but I still have to say it, lest Rucheng Yizu comes out of seclusion and finds me in trouble."
Jiang Wang turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Should I also write you a letter of liability to express that my entry into the wilderness was entirely voluntary and had nothing to do with you, and that you have tried your best to dissuade me?"
Yu Wenduo took out a pen and paper: "That's the best."
Jiang Wangzhen wrote him a letter of liability, saying that he voluntarily went deep into the wilderness and had nothing to do with anyone.
It's not all a joke.
If something really happened to him, having such a letter of liability would not affect the relationship between Qi and Mu.
Being able to write such a disclaimer is enough to show that his trip was not a sudden hothead, but that he did have a clear understanding of the dangers of the border wilderness.
Yu Wenduo said: "Actually, if you don't come, no one will criticize you. Originally, you were an envoy with integrity, and the responsibility is not here. I know that you have a great reputation overseas, and you have killed many sea tribes in the Mystery Realm.
.”
"Just think that I am also practicing." Jiang Wang simply said.
Yu Wenduo thought for a while and then said: "The troops here on the line of life and death have their own defenses and cannot be easily mobilized. But I will stay here and coordinate a reserve army to come over. If something unexpected happens, remember to flee back, I will
I will support you as soon as possible."
"Thank you very much."
"Do you need any more help? His Highness Yun has given me great authority."
"Give me a map, give me a bag of soul stones, and give me a black camel." Jiang Wang simply said, "I will be back before the succession ceremony begins."
Compared with "Wuduna", Jiang Wang is more accustomed to calling it black camel.
After all, Prairie Language is not straightforward enough for people like him who are from the Western Region and are resident in the Eastern Region.
On the line of life and death, Yu Wenduo bid farewell to Jiang Wang.
Watching one person and one camel, walking further and further away, slowly disappearing into the haze, like a bright color in the world, swallowed up by the darkness, just like when he was stationed at the line of life and death, every time he said goodbye to Zhao Rucheng.
He thought that Marquis Wu'an of Daqi would say something like the great justice of the human race, and he was willing to believe that those words, at least from the mouths of people like Jiang Wang, would not be so false.
But Jiang Wang said nothing and only called this "cultivation".
On the contrary, Yu Wenduo felt that cultivation is a more meaningful thing. Whether it is killing thieves, serving the country, or defending the human race, it cannot be achieved by just talking. Those who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, often make others reflect on the world.
People...have they really done anything for this world?
If you move forward down-to-earth and have enough strength, you will naturally be qualified to realize your ideals.
He also has to practice hard.
