Chapter 251

Outside Yandu City, there is a place called Mass Burial Mound.This place is not far from the city wall, and it is also desolate and desolate, with dense trees and wild grass. It is a recognized funeral place inside and outside Yandu City.However, because of the sinister geomantic omen, insects and ants are rampant, and the furniture of the rich and noble in the city is afraid of affecting the foundation of future generations, and refuses to give in, so this place has become a burial place for the poor.If you are lucky, there is still a stone tablet and a wooden sign, which shows your name and life.It is not uncommon for people with bad lives to be shrouded in straw mats and buried indiscriminately.Because of the deep yin and the loess flying in the daytime, few people usually come here.This time under the cover of night, the branches spread their teeth and claws and projected on each other, making the place even more gloomy and ghostly.

Even though he had been in the army for several years and his hands were stained with blood, Nazhuo couldn't help feeling anxious when he walked among the loess ridges.The leaves under my feet have accumulated into mud, but there is still a creaking sound when I step on it, as if people are grinding their teeth, which makes people shudder.

He gathered himself together, held the torch in his hand, and walked to the depths of the mass grave step by step.

When the villagers in Heijiao Village were framed for eating poisonous meat, although he and Xiao Yezi tried their best to save them, there were also a few weak people who died before they could be rescued.These funeral affairs, Xiao Yezi's inconvenience as a woman, were all done by his boss.Although the woods of mass graves were confusing, Nazhuo quickly found the right direction.

Passing through a dark forest, I arrived at the place where the new graves stood.

A tall Taoist man in gray clothes was sitting in front of the grave, with his back to the burner and burning incense, muttering words in a low, gentle voice.Although the Taoist prose is long and the sentences are obscure, the Taoist recites it fluently, and the words are clear and decisive like pearls falling into the water.

Nazhuo could hear clearly that it was the scriptures about saving lives.He didn't interrupt, but silently extinguished the fire in his hands, stood aside with his hands down, and listened quietly.

After a long time, the Taoist priest in gray finished reading, stood up, bowed towards the grave, walked a few steps away, brushed off the dust on his body, and then turned around and smiled: "Gentle and polite, humble and benevolent, I have heard about Ah Buhan for a long time. The name of General Zhuo, when I saw him today, he is indeed a benevolent gentleman."

Nazhuo was startled, then he clapped his palms and smiled: "...Dare to ask your honor, but is it Master Xiao?"

The gray-clothed Taoist smiled: "The general is very observant and has seen people well. No wonder he was able to survive from a desperate situation and win favor again."

Nazhuo cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Xiao is absurd. I have been guarding Yandu City all this time, and have never set foot on the front line. I have always heard that Master Xiao is extraordinarily handsome, with an immortal demeanor, and his literary talent and military strategy are all superior to others. See, it really lives up to its reputation.”

Yun Xi smiled and said: "Although my Zhaoyin Dynasty and the Yanjin Empire are old enemies, in all fairness, there are also many talented people in the Tianren Sect, but it is a pity that each is the master and has to be eliminated."

Nazhuo smiled and said, "Guangzhu Xiao dared to say these words, which is enough to show that he is an open-minded scholar. I used to wonder why someone with martial arts strategy like General Yelu Xiye could be destroyed by you. Now it seems , is indeed destiny.”

Yun Xi smiled and said: "The general just said that I praised me absurdly, now it seems that I need to give it back to the general."

Na Zhuo smiled: "No, just now I heard Chief Xiao recite the scriptures, his voice was calm, his mind was peaceful, and he didn't appear flustered or anxious because of my arrival, which can be regarded as not happy with things. To be as calm as ever is not to feel sorry for yourself. It is really impossible to be so peaceful. I am only judging according to the facts, so what is there to say?"
