    Chapter Index

    Xie Ren listened more and more strange, more and more think more and more chaotic, said: “General, I want to ask ……”

    Instead, Carving Mill said, “Don’t ask! What do you want to ask after you killed my soldiers? I won’t answer, come and fight!”

    Miroku said, “I killed him, he didn’t do it. You can answer him and then fight me.”

    This is really reasonable. Carving Mill said angrily, “You’re all helpers she found, all the same!”

    Xie Ren immediately said, “General Carving Mill, have you misunderstood something. We originally came to the Gobi for the purpose of eradicating the Half Moon Master, how could we be her hired help?”

    Upon hearing him say that he had come to eliminate the Half Moon Kingdom Master, Carving Mill’s side fell silent, and after a while, said, “If you were not sent by her, why did you kill these soldiers of mine?”

    Xie Ren said, “Isn’t it because you threw us down that we had no choice but to defend ourselves?”

    Carve Mill said, “Nonsense, I wasn’t going to throw you at all. I just grabbed you. It was you who had to jump down!”

    Xie Ren could only say: “Yes, yes, yes, it was us who wanted to jump into the pit. General, now that we’re all trapped at the bottom of this pit, it’s better to unite our fronts for the time being. Why did the Half Moon Master of State open the door and lead the army to slaughter the city?”

    Carving Mill, who would not listen to his reasoning, grumbled, “You two are so mean, you beat me together.”

    Xie Ren was helpless, “I really only smacked you once. Didn’t do much.”

    He didn’t mind being called mean and cunning. If the situation is critical, not to mention two against one, let him take a hundred to beat up a he has nothing to pull the face, who still with you one-on-one. However, just now, Sanlang clearly is holding a personal are securely prevailed, also said let Xie Ren do not fight, the result of carving mill but as if he felt that single combat will be able to win over him, Xie Ren is really depressed for him. But look at this carving mill character, words should be better set, slowly, no problem. However, Sanlang was not very patient, he said idly from the side, “For the sake of your soldiers, you’d better answer him.”

    Carved Mill said, “They’ve already been destroyed by you, it’s useless for you to threaten me with them.”

    Miroku said, “But the body is still there.”

    Carving Mill seemed unable to stay down and said warily, “What do you want?”

    Miroku said, “That’s for you to ask, what do you want?”

    Just by listening to his voice, Xie Ren could already imagine his eyes narrowing as he said this, “Do you want them to be well in the afterlife, or do you want them to be born a puddle of plasma?”

    Carved Mill was stunned, then realized, “You?!”

    The people of the Half-Moon Kingdom place great importance on funeral rites, and they believe that whatever the body of the deceased was like when they passed away is what they will be like in the afterlife. For example, if an arm is missing at the time of death, then in the afterlife they will be born as a one-armed heavenly creature. If the body at the bottom of this pit was really crushed into a puddle of plasma, wouldn’t this afterlife be worse than nothing?

    This carving and grinding was a pure half-moon man who could not be afraid. Sure enough, he crunched and ground his teeth for a while at the other end of the darkness, and after a long time, he finally said helplessly, “Don’t you touch their corpses! They were all valiant and good soldiers, and it was already unfortunate for them to have spent so many years underneath this pit of sinners, and I don’t know if it’s a relief to be destroyed by you today. But they must never again suffer such insults.”

    After a pause, he added, “Are you really here to kill Halfmoon?”

    Xie Ren said in a warm voice: “There is absolutely no deception. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you can win a hundred battles, that Half Moon Master’s deeds are little known to outsiders, and there is no way to deal with her. But General Carpenter, since you have worked with her, you should be able to give us some guidance.”

    Perhaps because of the same enemy, or perhaps because of falling into an abyss that could not be climbed up, and sitting on top of a mountain of soldiers’ corpses disheartened, Carving Mill seemed to have temporarily put away her hostility and said, “You don’t know why she opened the door and let the Yongans in? It’s because she just wants to get back at us. She hates the Half Moon Kingdom!”

    Xie Ren said, “What do you mean she hates the Half Moon Kingdom? Isn’t the Half Moon Kingdom Master a Half Moon person?”

    Carved and milled, “Yes. But not entirely. She’s a half-blood, and half, from the Yongan Kingdom!”

    “Ah ……”

    Originally, that half-moon master, is a half-moon country woman and a Yongan man born. In this border land, the two countries hate each other, this pair of foreign couples live extremely difficult, after a few years, that the man can no longer tolerate this life, leave the border, go back to the affluent and peaceful Yongan.

    Although the two were separated only after they had spoken, not long afterward, the woman from that half-moon country also died of heart disease and depression. They left behind a six or seven year old daughter who was left unattended and grew up hungry and full. The couple was looked down upon, and their offspring was also looked down upon. Half-moon country people are tall, men and women are strong and lively beauty, and this girl because of foreign mixed blood, in a group of half-moon people’s children look extremely thin and weak, so often bullied since childhood, gradually more and more gloomy personality quirks, half-moon country people’s children do not play with her, but some of the children of the Yong’an are willing to take care of her.

    When the little half-breed was a teenager, there was a riot on the border and the armies on both sides fought. A lot of people died in the battle, and then the little half-breed disappeared.

    She originally didn’t have many relatives or friends within the Half Moon, and no one had asked about her after she had disappeared for a few years. However, by the time she reappeared, the situation was very different.

    In the past few years, she had actually traveled thousands of miles, crossing the Gobi alone and walking to Yongan. I don’t know what kind of encounter she had there, learning an extremely demonic and evil magic skill to come back, not only that, but also able to manipulate the poisonous thing that the half-moon people are most afraid of – scorpion-tailed snake.

    Seeing her return, beyond sighs of admiration, there were some Half-Mooners who felt fear. Because, this young girl’s character hadn’t changed in any way, she was still as gloomy and withdrawn as ever. Back then, many Half-Mooners had bullied her, but now she had entered the palace to offer her services, and had even become an extremely high-status mage, so in case she wanted to retaliate against them someday, wouldn’t she be looking for trouble from them?

    Xie Ren said, “I’m afraid there will be quite a few Half-Mooners saying bad things about her.”

    Carved Mill grunted, “More than speaking ill of her, they went directly to the palace to advise the State Lord that she was a messenger sent by the vicious Scorpion Tailed Serpent to scourge the Half Moon Kingdom, and that she should be hanged. But none of them succeeded.”

    Xie Ren guessed, “Did she snatch these people and hang them first?”

    Carved Mill was even more disgusted: ”You Yongan man, why are you full of such sinister and venomous unfolding? It didn’t! It was me who protected her.”

    Xie Ren helplessly said, “I have said that I am not a Yongan person …… well forget it.”

    At that time, Carved Mill was already a general. Once he took his soldiers to round up desert bandits, and brought along the young girl who was a court mage.

    That gang of bandits is very good, in the sand under the nest, a battle between both sides have dead and wounded, carve mill win, but the battle led to the sand under the nest collapse, coupled with the storm is coming, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, carve mill with some of the soldiers withdrew, but there are still a part of the people, including the mage, did not have time to escape from the life.

    Retreating to a safe place, when the wind and sand passed, Carving Mill re-returned, wanting to dig out the soldiers for burial, who knew that when he got there, he realized that the mage, with the strength of one man, had dug a not-so-small underground hole, dragging the surviving and injured soldiers into it to avoid the wind.

    The bodies of the dead were also all dug up and placed neatly. All of this was done with her bare hands, and when they arrived, the mage was bloodstained all around, but still silently stood firm at the entrance of the cave, waiting for them on his reported knees, as if he were a tiny lone wolf.

    Carve Mill said, “After that incident, I felt that she was very good, did the right thing, and definitely had no intention of harming the Halfmoon Kingdom, so I vouched for her and refuted all those unsuspecting voices.”

    Coupled with the carving mill as a child was also because of physical weakness and was bullied by people of the same age, so with this young girl can quite empathy, naturally, she is also quite a lot of attention, the more attention to the more found that this mage skills are great, so all the way to recommend, single-handedly sent her to the master of the state position, and as recorded by the descendants of that – became a half-moon master of the state’s most faithful The more attention he paid, the more he realized that the Venerable Master was extremely capable.

    That is, until another great war broke out and the Yongan Kingdom sent an army to besiege the Half Moon Kingdom.

    Carving Mill said, “The two countries have been at war for a long time, and she opened an altar and sacrificed to the heavens, saying that she wanted to protect our soldiers for half a month.”

    Thus, the soldiers’ killing spirit and morale rose, and they defended the city gates to the death. Stray vectors, boulders, rolling oil, swords and knives, killing each other.

    Who knew that this Master of the State, in fact, suddenly opened the city gates at the moment when the battle was at its peak.

    The city gates were opened wide, and tens of thousands of enemy troops instantly and frantically poured into the city. The iron horsemen stepped through, and the entire city instantly turned into a blood altar!

    Carving Mill, who was fighting with the enemy troops, was furious when he heard that the State Master had opened the city gate. No matter how valiant he was, he was ultimately powerless to return to heaven.

    Carving Mill gritted her teeth, ”I realized at that time that she had colluded with the enemy’s generals long ago, and made an appointment to let people in directly at this time. But even if I’m destined to die in battle, before I die, I still have to kill this traitor!!!! So I had a group of soldiers rush up to the city hall, grabbed her and dragged her down, and hanged her on the sin pit. It was hanging from that pole!”

    The entire Half Moon Country was turned into a dead country as the army crossed the border. The generals and soldiers and masters of the country who died in battle and hanged, both sides could not leave the ruins, but still hated each other.

    Xie Ren said, “So, General Carving Mill, you led the Half Moon Army under your command, searching everywhere for that State Master, and whenever you caught her, you ‘hanged’ her once again on the pit of sinners?”

    Carving and grinding, “Hang her a thousand times ten thousand times! Because she is also going around capturing these murderous soldiers under me and pushing them into the pit of sinners! She has set up an extremely powerful formation around this pit, only she can undo it, if you fall down, you can’t climb up again, and these soldiers of mine who were betrayed by her and died in vain in battle, their grievances are so deep that only by eating the flesh and blood of the Yongan people will they be able to overcome the hatred in their hearts, and gradually ascend to heaven, or else they will only be able to trumpet night after night and be unable to find liberation!”

    Xie Ren said, “So you just keep grabbing people and throwing them down to feed them is that it.”

    Carving and grinding, “What else? Let me just listen to them wail down there?”

    “The men who threw themselves down, did you catch them yourselves, or?”

    “We can’t leave the Half Moon Kingdom too far, but the good thing is that her snakes are very devilish and often climb out of the ancient city to bite people everywhere, and those caravans that get bitten will come into the city to look for the Good Moon Grass.”

    “That earth-buried surface in the palace, did you bury it?”

    “Not bad. That man buried in the earth was trying to steal the palace treasure. But all of our country’s treasures were all looted by the Yongans two hundred years ago.”

    Xie Ren said, “Why did you just bury him instead of just throwing him down?”

    Carve Mill said, “There has to be fertilizer for the grass, or we won’t be able to keep those scorpion-tailed snakes in check? We don’t want to encounter that kind of thing either.”

    Xie Ren thought, “No.

    Since the Carved Mill party would consciously plant the Good Moon Grass and even use a living person as fertilizer to raise it, it was clear that even though they were no longer human, their fear of the Scorpion Tail Snake had not weakened in the slightest.

    As such, this fear must have been even greater during their lifetime. Since that Half Moon Kingdom Master was in possession of the Scorpion Tail Snake, a great killing weapon, how could he be so simply dragged down by a group of soldiers and hanged to death from the city tower?

    According to Carved Mill, during these two hundred years, they had captured the State Master time and time again, and the State Master had been hanged by them time and time again. Anyway, Xie Ren felt that if it was him, with such a killing weapon in his hands, he would definitely not let his enemies have the chance to come halfway near him.

    And the scorpion-tailed snake that crawled out of the old city to bite. Was it an accident? No, it wasn’t. It was more like a deliberate attempt to lure people into the pass. So the Master of State did it on purpose? Wouldn’t that be like opening the door for Carving and Grinding to capture the living and feed them to the soldiers? Wouldn’t the claims of hostility between the two sides be contradictory?

    So they’re pretending to be hostile? But what’s the point of pretending to be hostile?

    And before this flurry of confusion, there was another puzzle – the identity of that white female crown and her companion. Xie Ren decided to ask a few more questions, “General, when we entered the city just now, we saw a black and a white female crown on the street, do you know what these two are?”

    Before he could answer, Miroku whispered, “Shhh.”

    Although he didn’t know what was going on, Xie Ren immediately closed his voice. A strange intuition caused him to tilt his head and look upwards.

    It was the same four-square black and blue night sky, and the same cold white half moon.

    However, beside the half-moon, he saw someone far away, a small black figure poking out, looking downward.

    After looking for a moment, the man’s small half suddenly became his whole body – and jumped down.

    In the process of falling, Xie Ren could see clearly that this person, was precisely that Half Moon State Master who had been hung above the long pole before!
