Chapter 130 The Lonely City of the Tang Dynasty
Bai Ze rode an ox and flew southward behind Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It was obvious that Guanshiyin Bodhisattva was taking care of the speed of Bai Ze and the two of them. He did not use the magic of reaching the target with a single thought or shrinking the earth by thousands of miles. He just allowed the two of Bai Ze to keep up.
Several people flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, and Bai Ze looked at the scenery on the earth.
There was a thousand-foot-long tiger roaring in the forest.
A three-headed giant fish jumped out of the water. Its body was a thousand meters large.
At this time, Bai Ze saw a clear stream in the mountains and thought it was a clear creek. However, the creek moved and turned out to be a blue python tens of thousands of meters long.
Bai Ze was a little surprised. Is this really the Chinese continent in his impression?
The Tang Dynasty is located in the east of China.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "If Tang Monk obtains the scriptures and returns to the Tang Dynasty, the luck of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly increased, it will be difficult for evil objects to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the evil objects in the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly suppressed."
With that said, Guanyin Bodhisattva led Bai Ze to a place. In front of him were thousands of miles of yellow sand, with no edge visible at a glance.
In the middle of the yellow sand, there is a lonely city. There is a flag hanging on the city with the word "Tang" written on it.
Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed to the city: "Look, that is Suiye City of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. Li Changan has been guarding the Western Regions alone for decades.
The entire Suiye City, now he was the only one from Tang Dynasty, everyone else was dead. It had become an empty city, and the outskirts were filled with surging demonic armies.
However, Li Changan guarded the isolated city alone for thirty years with one man and one sword. ”
Bai Ze said: "Is there no one to support Li Changan?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "The road has been cut off by Tibet, so there will be no support.
This Li Changan's name is Chang'an, but he has never been to the Tang Dynasty. He was born and raised in Suiye City, but he is more responsible than many Tang people in Chang'an City.
In his belief, not an inch of Datang's territory should be lost.
He was blind in both eyes and lame in one of his legs, but none of the hundred thousand demon army could survive the sword in his hand. ”
Bai Ze said: "Master, can I go and see Li Changan?"
"But, after you finish seeing him, just go to Putuo Luojia Mountain by yourself. I will leave first as a teacher."
Guanyin Bodhisattva disappeared on the spot and returned directly to Putuo Luojia Mountain.
Bai Ze, on the other hand, rode an ox and descended from the sky with a clatter and came to the gate of Suiye City.
The city was in dilapidated condition, and the plaques on the towers were crooked.
Bai Ze only saw a blind old man sitting on the top of the city with a dark sword in his hand. He exuded endless killing intent.
It seemed that he would kill anyone who dared to take a step forward.
Just as Bai Ze was approaching, Li Changan slashed his sword and cut a ravine in the ground, blocking Bai Ze's forward steps.
Li Changan stood up and pointed at it with his sword: "Anyone who dares to offend our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. Little devils, why don't you retreat quickly?"
Bai Ze said: "The general has misunderstood. I am also from the Tang Dynasty. I heard that the general guarded the empty city alone for thirty years, so I came to visit the general."
Li Changan looked up to the sky and roared: "Hahaha, do you think that my eyes are blind and my heart is also blind?
The road from the mainland has long been blocked, how could anyone from the Tang Dynasty come here?
The aura emanating from your body is clearly that of a monster, how could it be possible that you are from the Tang Dynasty?
You must be that demon..."
Li Changan frowned as he spoke. When he looked carefully, he found that Bai Ze had not only the aura of monsters, but also another aura.
That is the unique aura of the people of the Tang Dynasty!
He couldn't be wrong. As a compatriot, blood is thicker than water, and he had already sensed the fluctuations in the blood connection between the people of the Tang Dynasty.
"Strange...strange...you obviously shouldn't be my compatriot of the Tang Dynasty, why do you feel like this?" Li Changan couldn't distinguish the aura on Bai Ze's body at first.
More importantly, he also sensed the aura of the Human Emperor in Bai Ze.
This is even more outrageous!
The Human Emperor was cut off long ago, and the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is only the Emperor, not the Human Emperor.
Why does this monster have the aura of a human emperor?
Bai Ze saw the demonic energy surging on Li Changan's body, and the black path was like thick ink, as if it was going to blacken the city in the sky.
Bai Ze said: "You say I am a demon, but you are full of demonic energy. Why is that?"
Li Changhao said loudly: "The devil is unkind and invades our border. If I don't turn myself into a devil, how can I suppress Xiaoxiao?
If I don't kill, how can I stop killing? Hahaha, hahaha, kill, kill, kill! ”
The surging murderous aura and endless demonic aura rushed out of Li Changan, which actually sent shivers down Bai Ze's spine.
Bai Ze understood. Li Changan had guarded the empty city alone for thirty years with one man and one sword. He had driven himself into a state of madness. If he hadn't driven himself into a murderous madman, how could he have guarded the Tang Dynasty by himself? Thirty years on the frontier?
Bai Ze took a step forward: "Old General, I have no ill intentions. I am indeed from the Tang Dynasty..."
Bai Ze thought for a while, how to explain it? He couldn't say that he came from time travel, right? Before time travel, he was a citizen of the Tang Dynasty?
He said: "I was originally a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, but after my unfortunate death, my bones absorbed the essence of the world, the sun and the moon, and finally developed spiritual wisdom and became the White Bone Essence now.
Therefore, the general thinks I am a monster, but in fact I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"That's it!"
Li Changan believed this, he put away his sword and said: "My old friend has come from afar, come to the city quickly, come to the city quickly, come to the city to have a few glasses of water and wine with me. No one has talked to me in thirty years." ”
At this moment, the majestic and murderous old man turned into an old naughty boy, waiting eagerly and expectantly, hoping that friends from the Tang Dynasty would drink a few glasses of water and wine with him.
"Okay, the general and I will drink three hundred cups."
Bai Ze strode towards the city. Li Changan was so excited by the coke that he danced like a naughty old man, leading the way for Bai Ze.
He was limping and blind, but he had walked through this city so many times that he could handle himself without eyes.
He was so happy!
Thirty years later, he finally saw a living person again...well, a skeleton. In short, he was an old friend from the Tang Dynasty. This day was even happier than the Chinese New Year.
Broken Leaf City was in a state of ruins. Apart from the whistling wind and the sand hitting the face, there was no life at all.
This is a ghost town!
Bai Ze asked: "Old General, are you the only one left here?"
Li Changan said: "Who said I was the only one left? Aren't the three thousand soldiers buried in the homesickness cliff outside the city all there?"
Bai Ze said: "How long will you keep guard?"
Li Changan said: "Guard until I can, until I am buried on the Cliff of Homesickness."
Bai Ze said: "What's the point of this? You will die here eventually, and no one will even know what you have done in the end."
Li Changan laughed and said: "Hahaha, this 'city' knows everything I do, this 'wind' knows everything I do, and this 'sand' knows everything I do.
The "Three Thousand Old Brothers" buried under the Homesick Cliff knew everything I did. ”
Bai Ze was really moved by him!
If there were more Li Changan like this in China, why would we fear invasion by foreign powers?
Li Changan brought Bai Ze into a room. There was a row of wine jars on one side of the wall, and various bacon, grains, vegetables, and fruits hung on the other side.
This was different from what Bai Ze thought. He originally thought that Li Changan would be extremely short of living materials alone, but he didn't expect that they would be very rich.
Perhaps sensing Bai Ze's doubts, Li Changan pointed at those things and said: "They are all sent by the demons. They can't invade the Western Region. They hated me at first and wanted to tear me into pieces.
Later, they tried to bribe me by sending money, beautiful women, and fine clothes and food, but they all failed.
Later, they also began to admire me. Whenever they came to call for battle with their troops, they would all bow to me three times before starting a battle.
When there is no war, they will also send these wine and meat to ensure my daily needs. ”
Are even the enemies moved?
Yes, if you face such an opponent, full of family and country feelings, and guarding the empty city alone for decades with one person and one sword, I'm afraid you will admire him, right?
"I'm going to cook myself and cook some dishes for my friends!" Li Changan said.
"The general doesn't have to take action, just let my puppet take action."
Bai Ze summoned several skeleton soldiers, and the skeleton soldiers started busying themselves.
Bai Ze said: "I heard that there is a man named Li Bai who was also born in Suiye City. I wonder if the general has heard of him?"
Li Changan said: "Do you think that one can write poetry?
He and I were childhood playmates, and his swordsmanship with Qinglian Sword Song was unparalleled in the world.
At that time, he also laughed at the old man's lack of literacy. He said that he would not be willing to be with the yellow sand in his life. His dream was to go to a big city and show off his talents there.
I chose to stay here and guard the border for those who show their talents.
We have chosen different paths. How many years have we not seen each other? ”
Bai Ze listened quietly.
