Origin Chapter 169: Spiritual Soldier
A total of 18 warriors were chasing down the snow monster, and the remaining dozen were either seriously injured or killed. Those who could still fight were all painted, covered in blood and scarred.
Although the snow monsters were killed, they were not the victors, because this was a defensive battle, and even if the opponent was defeated, there would be no spoils.
However, on the way back, Wu Zhen still recognized the bravery of his own warriors. It was only recognition, not praise or praise, because as warriors who protect the family and the country, fighting is their duty, they just do what they should do.
Someone else is in charge of the aftermath. After returning to the city, Wu Zhen immediately held an emergency meeting to analyze the situation and summarize the deployment.
The first issue is why the snow monsters attack the Daqiu. On this issue, most people tend to cover the mountains with heavy snow. The snow monsters cannot find enough food, and they will attack the city because they are hungry. The autopsy of the Yeti's corpses also indirectly proved this point. There was no other food in their stomachs except the human flesh they swallowed before they died.
However, it is extremely rare for so many snow monsters to appear together, and it has never happened before. There is a lot of doubt about this matter, but it can only be put on hold for the time being and will be checked later.
The second issue is re-arming in case the Yeti returns. Large crossbows are arranged on the city walls, and warriors with night vision are on guard in shifts.
The last thing is to immediately report the matter to the capital, and at the same time send someone to the city under the jurisdiction of Daeqiu to inform them of the matter, so that they can be prepared.
During the period, someone suggested that Wu Qin should be informed of this matter and asked Wu Qin to come back to preside over the overall situation, but Wu Zhen's answer was that when Wu Qin left, he did not tell him where he was going, nor when he would return.
Wu Zhongyuan was bleeding too much and felt dizzy. He didn't want to go to Atong for treatment, but he couldn't bear the bleeding. He didn't have any medicine to stop the bleeding, so he had no choice but to go to the doctor.
There are only two doctors in the city, A Tong and her master. There are many wounded people, and the two are very busy. However, when Wu Zhongyuan arrived, they immediately abandoned the other wounded and gave him medicine and dressing first.
In modern times, someone would definitely complain that he was engaging in privileges and jumping in the queue to go through the back door, but at this time, no one objected to this. Duties and rights are equal, and warriors who defend the safety of their clan with blood and life should enjoy it. Privileges and Privileges.
A Tong was a little embarrassed to see Wu Zhongyuan. In fact, she should also be embarrassed. After all, she had asked Wu Shaoyong for the bow and arrow that she lent him not long ago. She should know that returning the bow and arrow means to him. what.
Compared with Ah Tong, Wu Zhongyuan seems more natural. He doesn't blame Ah Tong. It's not that he thinks Ah Tong did the right thing, but that he and Ah Tong meet by chance, and Ah Tong has no reason to offend him because of him. Wu Shaoyong. Friends have the standards of friends, passers-by have the standards of passers-by, and you can't use the standards of friends to ask passers-by.
I don't know whether Ah Tong is avenging his personal revenge or the head injury should have been bandaged like this.
It may be because of excessive blood loss, or because Tong has wrapped too much gauze around his head, but now he feels that his head is big and top-heavy.
After applying the medicine and dressing the wound, Wu Zhongyuan walked to the post yard under the gaze of passers-by. Status and respect were earned through sacrifice and battle. At this time, no one regarded him as an outsider anymore, because he treated Daqiu. contributed.
Going to the post, according to Wu Zhen's instructions, he sent people to fly the letter birds to the capital and other cities. It is not a secret to be attacked by snow monsters, and there is no need to send people to go to the capital. The main thing is that the mountains are covered by heavy snow outside. I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the capital in ten days and a half months when I send someone out, so I use the letter bird directly. There is no need to send people to Yicheng, but also use letter birds.
He returned to his residence in a drowsy state. It was already dawn. A Luo and his grandson waited nervously for him outside the door. When they saw him coming back, they were relieved. It was not uncommon to die in battle at this time.
Wu Zhongyuan's right hand was also medicated, so he couldn't wash his face, so his grandparents brought hot water and helped him wipe off the blood on his face bit by bit, and then helped him take off his blood-stained coat. Then came breakfast.
Wu Zhongyuan had a severe headache and felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He only drank a few mouthfuls of gruel, and then said to A Luo, who was standing by the side, "If you encounter similar things in the future, stay far away, don't lean on it, Do you know how dangerous it is to be blind in the dark?"
Alo lowered his head and didn't answer.
Wu Zhongyuan was also reluctant to criticize her too harshly. Seeing her bowing her head, she didn't say anything.
After a great battle, it is difficult for people to calm down in a short period of time. Wu Zhongyuan was lying on the bed without sleepiness. In fact, when Sanhu transferred Wu Kuo's memory to him, he knew that the living environment at this time was very bad. , Humans are not the masters of the world. Although beasts like snow monsters are ferocious, they are not the most powerful. Some rare creatures can even easily destroy a city.
Knowing and experiencing are two different things. Without personal experience, it is impossible to understand the tension and danger of life and death hanging on the line. If the snow monster who threw the bricks and stones was stronger, if the snow monster was smashed by waving the beam of the house A little further down the angle of the snow monster, and he's dead now.
After finally getting a little sleepy, someone knocked on the door. It was a person from the post station who brought two small bamboo tubes.
This kind of bamboo tube is tied to the leg of the letter bird, with wax tears dripping from the seal. Ordinary clansmen have no right to open this bamboo tube to transmit information. Only warriors can open it.
Wu Zhongyuan is in charge of the post yard. He can open the bamboo tube, but after pondering, he does not open it. Instead, he takes the bamboo tube to find Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen was currently discussing matters with the other three blue air warriors in the inner house. Wu Zhongyuan handed the bamboo tube to Wu Zhen, took a few steps back, and gave instructions after Wu Zhen read it.
When Wu Zhen opened the bamboo tube, another blue-qi warrior named Wu Dalie pointed to the seat beside him and motioned Wu Zhongyuan to sit down and wait. Wu Zhongyuan thanked him but did not sit down. , different grades can not sit at the same table.
After reading the information sealed in the first bamboo tube, Wu Zhen was puzzled.
"What happened?" one asked.
Wu Zhen handed him the sackcloth with the writing on it, "This is the news from the people we sent to monitor the Niu Clan. A city of the Niu Clan was attacked by a group of fire rats at noon yesterday. The loss is considerable."
The man took the cloth and read it with a frown. The other person tilted his head and read it together.
After the two of them looked at it, Wu Dalie took the cloth strip and glanced at it, and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, but Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and missed it.
"Is there a relationship between the two?" Wu Dalie looked around.
The two of them frowned slightly, but didn't answer.
At this time, Wu Zhen had opened the second bamboo tube, "It's a message from Lord Jushan."
When the three of them heard the words, they all leaned over to look at the cloth.
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't see what was written on the banner, but he could see the expressions of Wu Zhen and others. The expressions on the faces of the four were very complicated. There were doubts, shocks, and even a little excitement.
"I didn't expect the legend to be true." Wu Dalie said to himself.
"Are you sure it's a psychic weapon?" another person asked.
"Someone has already got one of them, it must be wrong," Wu Zhen said.
"It has probably been more than 2,000 years since the last time the psychic soldier appeared." Wu Dalie said.
"More than that, the last time they appeared was during the chaotic prehistoric period," said another blue-qi old man. "The nine men and nine women who got these magical soldiers later helped Fuxi and Nuwa to correct the six paths and pacify the world." /
"Divine soldiers are psychic, they will never reappear in the world without a reason." Wu Zhen frowned slightly.
"Does it mean the world will be in chaos again?" said one of them.
Wu Dalie shook his head, "It may also mean that the world will be unified again."
Wu Zhen nodded slowly, "I am also making this guess. If there is no Chengsui and the dragon and the phoenix come to the world, the psychic soldiers designed to assist the Prime Minister will not appear."
The four didn't speak after that. After the silence, Wu Zhenchong said to Wu Zhongyuan, "I immediately notify the city under my jurisdiction to pay attention to the investigation. Once you find a strange bird and beast that looks like a phoenix and a dragon, you will immediately send a book and report it. Remember, do not hunt and hunt rashly. ."
"Is there a more specific reference for them?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wu Zhen thought for a while and said, "There are eighteen psychic weapons, all of which are born with spirituality, and all have the shape of birds and beasts. Like a lion, like a turtle, like a tiger, like a qiu, like a fish. A bird in the form of a bird is like a phoenix, like a bird, like a luan, like an eagle, like a peng, like a wild goose, like a eagle, like an owl, like a heron, like a pheasant ."
Wu Zhen said it very quickly, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't remember it at all, but he couldn't let Wu Zhen say it again, just as he was worried, Wu Zhen added, "Those who bear dragon qi have dragon horns on their tops. Those who bear the phoenix qi have phoenix feathers at the back of their tails."
That's enough, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked away.
It may be because he was injured, or because his previous bravery won the trust of everyone. When he walked to the door, Wu Zhen said, "We didn't treat you as an outsider, and you don't have to deliberately avoid suspicion. We will contact you in the future. You can open and read all the letters, just pick the important ones.”
Wu Zhongyuan responded and closed the door to leave.
As soon as I go out, I arrange errands at the post yard. I can't write so many words on a piece of cloth. I omit the middle, just take the head and tail, and send eight birds.
He didn't need to write the words. It was written by the old secretary. This matter is not a secret. It is estimated that the news has spread, and the cattle and bird tribes, including other small tribes, should have begun to look for it.
Worrying about other official duties, Wu Zhongyuan did not go back to his residence, but stayed in the post to drink tea. At this time, there was already tea, but only people with a surname, that is, the royal family and warriors, were eligible to drink it. The quality of the tea that he has not been assigned to is not good, or the current tea is not good to drink, and the entrance is astringent.
However, his mind is not on drinking tea now. It is difficult to say whether the appearance of the psychic soldier is good news or bad news for him. He does not know who tattooed him with the golden dragon tattoo on his body. , but this tattoo is by no means a random tattoo, there must be some unknown meaning and reason, if you are the chosen person, then the appearance of the psychic magic weapon is related to him, that is the nine sent to him by God helper,
However, the psychic weapons are just weapons. God knows who will get them in the end. If they are obtained by the enemy, they will not be nine powerful helpers but nine powerful opponents.
Now I can only hope that the psychic soldiers can recognize the master. Only those who are selected can use it. If they don't recognize the master, it will be finished. If you throw nine guns on the battlefield, but there is no regulation for their use, then It's not that I really help, but I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic...
