Chapter 007: The Water and Fire Linglong Tower
Even in a civilized society with strict laws, his life cannot be guaranteed. In a world where the law is nearly ineffective, he is like a naked person thrown into a herd of beasts, fearing that a stroke of bad luck might lead to some form of violence.
Two soldiers were ordered to collect the corpses on the battlefield. By this time, they had already brought back seven or eight sabers, two spears, and about ten sets of armor. Remarkably, they also found some gold and silver ingots
Laozi has finally turned his fortunes around and has seen a living person!
Having wandered aimlessly all day like a headless fly, Wang Fo'er felt that his luck was finally turning. He unexpectedly saw the first city he had encountered since arriving in this world. Although it was merely a small county town in scale, it still excited him greatly
What he desires most at present is to quickly find a relatively stable city, free from the ravages of war, and settle down to live a good life
The general in the red robe is undoubtedly a renowned general of the Great Qian Dynasty. The number of people familiar with his relics is countless. If misfortune were to befall him because of this, what could Wang Fo'er say other than to scold himself for being foolish? Therefore, he only kept a shorter military saber, which he fastened to his waist. He collected all the gold and silver ingots for convenience of use.
The four corpse soldiers were given orders, and Wang Fo'er personally took the military knife to cut the small beast with a leopard's head and rabbit's body into pieces.
As Wang Fo'er's figure gradually receded, a soft sigh echoed from within the forest
He is very afraid
In recent days, he has been haphazardly searching for food, alternating between hunger and fullness, and has long ceased to be picky about taste. His cooking skills are quite poor; after a long time, the food is still undercooked and lacks seasoning. After gnawing on a few pieces, he felt his stomach was full. Wang Fo'er kicked out the fire pit, wiped his greasy hands, and turned to leave the woods
After venting his emotions, Wang Fo'er wiped his tears and finally composed himself, bowing respectfully to the corpse of the red-robed general. He spoke loudly, "Brother in the red robe, even in death, you have left a legacy for me. If I can survive this and have the chance to meet your family in the future, I will certainly find a way to repay you. For now, I will first bury you!"
What is it about this child that exudes an elusive aura I cannot quite comprehend
The small town is not large, with only one long street. Wang Fo'er searched every household, but found nothing of value. Clearly, the army that set fire to the town acted with great professionalism, truly deserving the description of leaving no trace and not sparing even a chicken or dog.
If it were not for having found the copper ring used for controlling corpses, which served as a psychological lifeline, Wang Fo'er would have likely collapsed long ago
It is one thing for men to die, but some women clearly suffered extreme torment during their lifetimes
Originally, his cultivation was shallow, and the icy true energy contained within him was much weaker than the corpse soldiers he had recruited. However, after the small pagoda transformed into a wondrous light and merged into his dantian, he could feel that every time he circulated the icy true energy within his body, the flow had increased by more than ten times, and its operating speed was also several times faster than usual
The zombie soldier B worked hard and finally produced a spark, managing to create a bonfire. Zombie soldier A also gathered a large pile of firewood, while Wang Fo'er skewered a piece of meat and placed it on the fire to grill.
The body of this reborn child is entirely different from that of Earth humans. The icy energy within him must traverse eight meridians and eighty to ninety acupoints. However, based on his knowledge of meridians acquired from martial arts novels, these energy acupoints and meridians are completely distinct from the twelve primary meridians and the eight extraordinary vessels of humans, and they have no relation whatsoever to the teachings of the esoteric Buddhist school regarding the three channels and seven wheels.
The city gate of the county town has been shattered to pieces, with half a door panel's wreckage hanging beside the gate, presenting a rather tragic sight. As soon as Wang Fo'er stepped through the gate, he unexpectedly encountered the lifeless corpses he had recently grown numb to. Suppressing the discomfort in his chest, Wang Fo'er shouted angrily: "These people kill and fight all day long, is it just to showcase their martial skills? They don't understand that leaving some living people behind would allow for something to be taken next time..."
Wang Fo'er reached out to lift the long spear of the red-robed general, contemplated for a moment, and ultimately decided to return this item along with the weapons and armor collected from the battlefield to the bronze war chariot. He then casually resealed the Fire Dragon Chariot into a bronze ruler and tucked the He - Tu - Shu into his bosom
Usually, he does not show any fear, but this fear has always been deeply buried in his heart. Even Wang Fo'er vaguely suspects that the copper ring appearing on a blacksmith is likely not a powerful magical artifact
Wang Fo'er was in tears, completely forgetting that he had already seen a large number of living people; it was just that the village was soon slaughtered by the chaotic army.
Wang Fo'er shouted loudly, rolling over seventeen or eighteen times in succession, before finally tumbling to the ground and bursting into tears
Passing through the city, Wang Fo'er had no intention of lingering. The five corpse soldiers behind him swayed unsteadily, following closely, and naturally had no objections.
Wang Fo'er had not discovered anything since the start of the great battle. From the moment the red-robed general fell in battle, he had obtained that fire dragon chariot, all of which had been witnessed by others one by one
Wang Fo'er looked at his own hands, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief
This fire is truly magnificent!
Baby, a true treasure, this item can actually enhance true energy, it is truly marvelous
Raising his head to gaze at the sky, feeling a mix of hope and disappointment, suddenly a sound of wheels turning came from afar. Wang Fo'er was overjoyed and leaped to a height of seven or eight meters, just managing to reach out and grasp the city wall. From a distance, a group of over a hundred people resembling refugees was pushing small carts and carrying bundles as they made their way toward the city.
C, D, and E, go dig a hole and bury this leader
Just now, he witnessed the fierce battle between the red-robed general and the Xidi army, and it felt as if a bottomless abyss had opened up within him, slowly consuming something. It was only at this moment that Wang Fo'er truly felt how arduous it was to survive.
Death
Beaten to death with an iron pipe, I awoke to find myself reborn in the body of a six or seven-year-old homeless child, in an unknown chaotic era where human life is as cheap as that of chickens and dogs. Every day, I live in constant fear and anxiety.
Although the wisps of smoke drifting from this small town led him to have somewhat negative expectations of encountering living people, he still entered with a sense of delight
The combat power of the five great corpses is at most on par with their living selves, which does not provide any strong assurance
