Cannon fodder "attack" system

When most people face death, they are always afraid.People are greedy for all kinds of things in the world, and they don't want to leave like this blankly, so when they die, they have to bring their favorite things as funerals, hoping that they can have them again in another world after death.Some people were buried with famous swords, some with gold, some with secret books, and some with beauties.When Elder Qiu died, he didn't take any of these things with him. He didn't have any magical weapons, and he didn't have any peerless martial arts secrets. He even wore simple clothes, except for a straw grasshopper in his hand. One of them is so ugly that it looks a bit old and worn, but it has been treated with special techniques, so it has completely retained the original ugly appearance.

The life of a Gu person is not going to last long. Elder Qiu has lived in this world for 40 years, which is a rare long life.When the deadline was approaching, he already had a feeling, so he asked to leave, and chose a dangerous place in the mountains where no one had set foot, waiting for the time of death to come.The affairs in the church have already been settled. After the death of the young leader, Elder Gu used the bones of the little leader to recreate a child. He watched the child reborn from the ashes and grew to the age to replace his teeth. He asked himself to leave. When he went, he entrusted the rest of the matters in the teaching to Master Ge Tan, and everything had follow-up arrangements, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Holding the old and worn-out grasshopper, he listened to the sound of water droplets falling in the cave.The wet cave was so dark that there was hardly any light, and he didn't need any.Life passed by little by little while waiting, and the occasional dark sky light eroded his memory like the undulating waves of the sea.Looking back on this life, it is actually so thin that it has no texture. I still remember that when he was born in this world, he seemed to be in such a dimly lit cave. At that time, his mind was blank and he acted with a hunger that almost swallowed his brain. , He didn't understand the meaning of everything, he was just hungry, but he smelled an extremely sweet aroma, so sweet that people wanted to swallow it in one mouthful, separated by some dead objects, it seemed to be within reach.

So his fingers broke through layer after layer of stone seals. He hardly used any strength, but couldn't wait.When he was scratching the last stone, he finally made a hole in the layers of stone seals. The first ray of light that fell into the broken hole was moonlight as bright as broken water. The pitch-black stone seal was in stark contrast to his sickly pale complexion. The whole stone seal was like a tightly wrapped giant chrysalis, and he was the one that broke the chrysalis.

In the first few years after Song Guanmu's death, Elder Qiu often dreamed of this scene at night. At that time, the mountain was high and the moon was small, the bright moon was high, and the girl in pink stood fifteen steps away. Stretching out his hand, his complexion is translucent white, even his lips are pale, only his ten fingers are clearly red, and there is a cut on his wrist, like a small woman's mouth slightly opened, with blood gurgling When it came out, it was the sweet smell he had smelled in the Gu mound before.

come over.As she said this, her voice was so gentle that it carried a bewitching power, her pitch-black pupils glowed with an imperceptible dark red color, like blood.He seemed to be bewitched, and walked over, the girl brought her wrist to his mouth and fed him the blood, the mouth of the blood was fishy and sweet, making people couldn't help but want to snatch more, she finally insisted Only by pinching his chin did he stop him from continuing to drink blood.

May I have your name?she asked.

He held her wrist and turned his head slightly. There seemed to be a vague impression in his mind, but he couldn't think about it carefully. He only remembered one word. He said, Qiu...

The girl smiled slightly, then you can be called Qiu Song.

The dream came to an abrupt end.

He always remembered her, like this once recurring dream.The first step he took from the Gu Tomb, he followed the sweet breath, and the first thing he saw was not the sky or the earth, but her.At that time, she was the daughter of Elder Shengjiao Lin, and he was just a Gu person, who crawled out of the Gu mound after being dead for many years, and there were only sporadic fragments of memories that could not be counted as memories, because he had been dead for too long. I just woke up, so I didn't look like a person at first.It's no wonder that Lin Wanru's thoughts towards him have always been partial to controlling Gu. At that time, he really looked like an insect that broke out of a cocoon, with unknown mucus on his body, and even walked at the initial stage of walking. The incoordination in the groping stage, because he tore and ate all the rotten flesh in the venom mound, so the mucus on his body was mixed with mottled dark blood, and there were pieces of meat embedded in his fingers, which did not look human.

Later Lin Wanru died, leaving a child for him to take care of.A small baby, with pale eyes like a ball of dough, was held in his arms without crying or fussing, just biting his fingers and looking at him, his eyes were not curious, just looking at him.At that time, he looked at the little baby almost at a loss, and adjusted the position of holding the baby clumsily, because the baby looked too soft, and it seemed that if he didn't pay attention, he would crush it with too much force. His movements were Be careful, like holding a fragile object.

After so many years of spring flowers, autumn moons, summer cicadas and winter snow, he watched this child grow up little by little from a little baby who couldn't turn over by himself.He still remembers the first time he discovered that the other party could turn over, how he taught the other party to walk from crawling on all fours, how he taught the child how to hold a sword, and how the other party changed teeth for the first time How frightened to be so stupid that she shed tears because of her terminal illness.

Maybe it was because he was too strict in normal times, this child has never been very close to him.

In fact, not being close is a good thing, he thought, because if the relationship is too close, it will be difficult for him to discipline the other party.Just looking at the way the little leader sometimes holds other people's hands and talks casually, I still feel a little dazed in my heart.Sometimes he would stand on the porch, watching the little teacher practicing sword, from sunrise to sunset, he didn't say anything, just stood like this, watching quietly, like a shadow.A servant came over and asked him if he was going to call the little leader. He turned his hands behind his back and paused for a moment, then said lightly: "Don't disturb him, he will be uncomfortable if I go there. He is very happy practicing sword now, I will watch it here for a while Just fine."

If you want to say which moment in this life is the most memorable, for him, there are probably two scenes like this.One scene is the first time outside Gu Zhong saw Lin Wanru, and the other scene is when the little leader brought him a gift.He never thought that the first time the little teacher went out to practice, he would bring back a grasshopper made of straw.The little grasshopper was held by the little leader and put into his palm. The little leader looked very nervous and said with some embarrassment: "This is a straw grasshopper I learned from others outside. It's the first time I folded it. Not so good..."

In his life, no one gave him a gift. After the death of the little leader, Elder Gu burned the body of the little leader to ashes. He looked at the child reborn from the ashes, and for a moment the scene in front of him overlapped with that of many years ago.What a familiar experience, he watched this child learn to turn over, watched this child learn to crawl, and watched this child learn to walk... and then it was the age to change teeth.People who are extremely similar, but they are only similar.A person cannot be resurrected after death, and no matter what, the reborn person is not the original person.

When he was about to die, Elder Qiu had nothing to keep in mind, the only thing he couldn't let go of was the straw grasshopper he was holding in his hand.Before he died, he asked himself to leave, because he didn't want to be seen as weak enough to be slaughtered when he died.The light in the cave was dim, and there was the sound of ticking water. Elder Qiu recalled that his life was neither too long nor too short. It turned out that the happiest moment in his life was when the little leader gave him grasshoppers; The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't protect the safety of the little leader.And all these emotions are not because it is Lin Wanru's child, nor is it because of any identity issues, but because the little leader is the little leader, it's just such a simple reason.

Amidst the sound of water drops, Elder Qiu closed his eyes in the cave in the wild and dangerous land. When he passed away, he was still holding the straw grasshopper in his hand on his chest.Gu people have all kinds of poisons in their bodies, and they also avoid all kinds of Gu. All animals will not eat them, and insects and ants will not invade them.Maybe a hundred years later, even the clothes will be ashes, leaving only a bone, but the straw grasshopper treated with the secret medicine will not rot for a hundred years.If anyone came here, they would probably see such a desolate bone, with only the bone left, and the straw grasshopper might have fallen from the bone of the hand and touched the distinct ribs, so it fell into the place where the heart once existed. The place where it passed, fell into the chest cavity that was already empty.

But a hundred years later, where can I find that desolate bone.
