"The dog is guilty!" Brother Shuhan roared furiously.
Sixty-three-year-old brother Shuhan has seen him never before in his life this day-the first time someone made up a ridiculous story in front of him, and it was also the first time someone promised him by the head of the item. In the end, he didn't admit it after losing!
"Catch him for me!" Brother Shuhan yelled, "take him to the execution ground!"
Li Jinglong and Hong Jun have rushed out of the front hall of the General's Mansion and ran to the backyard without knowing the direction. The carp demon was hibernating on Hong Jun's back, and was suddenly awakened, saying, "Hey! What are you doing?! Why suddenly Fighting?! Where is this?"
"Leaving the soul pollen!" Hongjun said in an anxious manner.
"You wrapped me too tight!" The carp monster was afraid of the cold, and Hongjun had wrapped it in a swaddle before. The carp monster was like a baby for a while, unable to pull out his hands.
Li Jinglong shouted: "I can't get started!"
Ge Shuhan was protected in the innermost part, and he couldn't get close at all. A large number of soldiers armed with crossbows emerged from the general's mansion. The scene was in chaos. Li Jinglong was dizzy and still dripping his nose, knowing that their arrow was shooting. Cavalry, even horses can penetrate, in case it is shot by a stray arrow is not for fun.
"Go!" Li Jinglong shouted.
Hongjun shuddered away from the five-color light and blocked the arrows in front of the two of them. The soldiers were merciful and only shot their legs and feet. Li Jinglong rushed to the wall, bowed and shouted: "Jump!"
Hong Jun stepped on Li Jinglong's back and jumped onto the high wall of the General's Mansion. Turning around, his hands circled, the five-color light twisted, and the arrows flew in all directions. The soldiers yelled in surprise, Zhang Hao rushed out and shouted: "Li Jinglong! Don't run! If you have something to say!"
At this moment, Li Jinglong has jumped onto the high wall and jumped out of the general's mansion with Hongjun.
Hongjun said: "Either we take the general hostage..."
Li Jinglong: "Can you?!"
Hong Jun: "Otherwise, what do you say about the head guarantee..."
"How do I know!" Li Jinglong screamed, "Don't you usually say so casually? Who knows he will take it seriously?!"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but the chasing soldiers rushed out. Li Jinglong shouted: "Run to a crowded place--!"
Liangzhou City arrived in the middle of early winter, the market was noisy, and the two rushed out of the alley. When Hongjun was about to hide in the market, Li Jinglong grabbed him and said, "Wait!" The soldiers slowed down, and each put away the crossbow|arrow, I was afraid that the people would be injured, Li Jinglong said: "Go!"
"Separate..."
"What's the point!" Li Jinglong pushed Hongjun to hide in the crowd. Soldiers dismounted one after another and came to investigate. As there were a lot of people, Li Jinglong came in and out, and then flung Hongjun away. After a while, the two of them hid in an alley panting, while Li Jinglong was still sneezing.
"What should I do?" Hongjun guarded at the entrance of the alley, looking out.
One hand of the carp demon is wrapped in baggage, and the other hand is waving outside, saying: "I can't get the pollen from the soul, Hongjun will loose me."
"Save a little bit." Li Jinglong said, "There is no place to make up after use."
The sound of horseshoes passed by, and Zhang Hao's voice was heard outside, saying: "You should check all the alleys."
Hongjun was startled. The patrol soldiers came towards him. The alley was a dead end and had to jump over the wall and run, but suddenly a door was opened in the alley.
"Two, please come with me." A girl's voice said.
Li Jinglong suddenly turned around and saw that it was a mixed-race Hu woman with a high nose and deep eyes. When Hong Jun was hesitating, Li Jinglong had made a decisive decision and stepped into the door with him.
The Hu Nu took them through the backyard of a family, and then walked out through the front door. At that time, the Hu and Han people in Liangzhou lived together. The Semu people and the Huihe people built their own residences many years ago, and even the Hu people, The houses of the Han people are scattered, but very different. The Han dwellings are dominated by wooden tiles and brick houses, while the Hu dwellings are erected with white stone, rammed earth, and poplar wood. The scattered paths between the houses are very complicated. After several turns, the chasing troops are completely thrown away.
Hu Nu led them through a market alley. Inside the alley was the slum street of Liangzhou Prefecture. It was freezing cold and many people were still doing business here.
"Hey! Can you sell your fish!" A Huihe man patted Hongjun on the shoulder, speaking in Chinese.
"Not for sale!" The carp demon sternly rejected him.
When the Huihe people saw the fish suddenly opened their mouths, they were so scared that they yelled and fell to the ground. Hu Nui said to him impatiently: "Don't make trouble!"
Hu Nu is very sturdy. For a while, no one in the alley dared to provoke her. Halfway through, she squatted down to buy vegetables. Both Li Jinglong and Hongjun looked confused, but did not ask any questions, and she passed through a few more. Street, came to a residential house.
Hu Nu said: "Come in for tea." Then she opened the door.
This is a quiet home with a stone mill in the front yard and a mule. After entering the front hall, the decoration is simple and simple, with a pair of black ancient Han Dynasty armors on each side of the hall. Hu Nu went in and shouted: "Father! Mother, I brought people back!"
Hongjun looked around in the patio. Two white-washed official robes were hanging in the sun. A woman from Huihe was mending a long skirt. Hearing this, she hurriedly raised her head to invite Li Jinglong and Hongjun in, and then came out again. One person, changed his official uniform, wrapped in a half-old padded jacket, was actually Qin Liang!
"Li Changshi is here today." Qin Liang said with a smile, "We can make a big disaster."
When Hong Jun was surprised, Li Jinglong knew it when he thought about it. He hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, thanking Qin Liang for his help, but Qin Liang waved his hand and said hurriedly, and invited the two into the hall.
"This matter is a long story." Qin Liang said anxiously, "The old general is preconceived. Brothers in Liangzhou City, if you have offended, please send him Shi Haihan."
"Do you believe?" Li Jinglong was surprised when he heard this.
Qin Liang looked solemn, nodded slowly, and replied: "Twelve years ago, I saw the monsters you talked about in Shazhou. They are called ‘ghouls’."
Snowing over the sky, Morigen rode a horse across the wasteland, and immediately returned the landing Xu. Shiwei people are good at walking outside the Great Wall, and Morigen walked along the leeward mountains along the way. Stop, when the weather changes, or look for a small town or a cave to keep out the cold, occasionally hit a few prey and roast them on fire. At night, you can find hot springs and Lu Xu to take a bath to wash away the tiredness of the day. Walking like this, it seems to be swimming. Mountains and water.
"Where are you going next?" Morigen was stationed in a high place and asked Lu Xu.
Lu Xu stood on the cliff and looked into the distance. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. Morigen said: "Look over there?" Lu Xu looked to the southeast part of the Qilian Mountains covered with white snow, squinted and thought. ,hesitate.
Lu Xu rarely speaks. Mo Rigen can already tell from his eyes where is the right direction. Lu Xu seems to be hesitant along the way, willing to take Mo Rigen, but I am afraid that he will meet again. What I fear. However, as he and Morigen continued to penetrate into Hexi territory, this fear continued to fade and became confidence in Morigen. After all, Morigen is very powerful. He knows how to go deep into a deserted place, and he can always find his way. No matter what beasts, he never dared to attack.
Lu Xu hesitated at first, but after seeing Morigen shot a bear and threw a tiger empty-handed, he began to worship.
Mo Rigen judged from Lu Xu's expression that the destination might be near. He walked down the mountain road, patted his saddle, and motioned to Lu Xu to get on his horse, but Lu Xu remained motionless and stared at him.
"Go, don't be afraid." Morigen took off his mask, looked at Lu Xu earnestly, and said, "I am there."
Lu Xu hesitated for a moment, then turned on his horse, Morigen swung his whip, and shouted: "Drive--!" Leading Lu Xu Chi to the foot of Qilian Mountain. At dusk, the sky was vast and white, and a dilapidated village appeared in the distance.
Mo Rigen was very surprised. In front of Zhuma Village, Lu Xu scrambled, rolled over and dismounted, let out a heart-piercing shout, and rushed into the village.
Morigen: "..."
Only then did Morigen understand. After Lu Xu delivered the letter, his destination was home. The village was full of corpses, as if it had gone through a raid. There were no living people left in the village. The house of the family that Lu Xu crashed into had Shiwei’s cow head hanging at the door, and the Tubo woman’s malachite green dress was hanging outside the door. , Still floating in the wind.
In the snow-capped mountains, the bloodstains of this village have been covered by the white snow. The village is quiet, with prayer flags fluttering outside the village, the sky is light and the sky is light, accompanied by the crazy cry of Lu Xu.
Mo Rigen pushed the door in, and saw Lu Xu crying in his arms while holding a dead woman. There was a buzzing in front of and behind the Niufly House. Lu Xu cried with tears, his face was muddy, and Morigen pulled him up and hugged him in front of him. Lu Xu was still shaking.
"You guessed it a long time ago on the way." Morigen said, "Sorry and change."
He finally understood Lu Xu's expression of fear and having to come—he was worried about his village and his parents, but all this was expected.
What is going on here?
Mo Rigen blindfolded Lu Xu's eyes, took him outside, picked up a shovel and stuffed it into his hand, told him to dig a hole, and said: "Don't cry, don't cry."
Lu Xu stood digging a hole while crying. Morigen knew that anyone who was grieving, asked him to do something, the pain would gradually ease, and he went in to check the body of the mother.
I saw Lu Xu's mother holding a dagger in her left hand and her right hand tightly clutched.
He gently opened Mother Lu's hand and saw a piece of iron armor in his hand.
Mo Rigen held the iron armor piece and sniffed before his nose. With doubts on his face, he walked out quickly to check other villagers who had died. Most of the deceased had their eyes wide open, and there was a wound on their chests that killed them. The dead were all old and young women and children, but no adult men.
"Your father may still be alive!" Mo Rigen walked out of the house quickly and said to Lu Xu, "There is no adult man's body here!"
Lu Xu looked surprised, put down the digging shovel, Morigen thought for a moment, then quickly walked to the high ground, raised his head, and sniffed against the wind.
Immediately afterwards, in the sunset, Mo Rigen quickly grew hair on his face, and his whole body was shining brightly. He bent and pressed the ground with one hand, and his body unfolded into a gray wolf, and let out a roar!
Lu Xu was shocked in an instant. He stepped back half a step, but the gray wolf jumped from the high ground, bowed his head and sniffed in the snow.
"I will go back." The Canglang made a voice of Mo Rigen, but became low and dumb. He glanced back at Lu Xu and said, "Be careful here."
The Canglang ran a few steps, but Lu Xu followed with a "hey".
As soon as the gray wolf left the village, Lu Xu chased him up, and the gray wolf turned around and said: "Go back!"
Lu Xu stubbornly chased on the snow. He ran extremely fast, running like the wind, and he was able to catch up with the wolf. In a short while, the gray wolf had to stop and helplessly said: "I will track down the murderer!"
Lu Xu held a dagger that he didn't know where it came from in his left hand and a shovel in his right. He compared paintings to the wolf and said: "Dawn Star, Dawn Star!"
The gray wolf showed sharp canine teeth and whispered: "Go back to the village, I will be back."
Lu Xu approached the wolf stubbornly. Finally, the wolf said helplessly, "Nothing, let's ride it." He bowed slightly and let Lu Xu sit on it.
"You are the second person to ride me." The gray wolf raised his head, sought to identify the smell in the air, and then began to run.
Lu Xu didn't dare to catch the wolf’s ears, so he had to lie down, hugged its neck tightly, and pressed it against its back. For a moment, the wind rang, and the wolf ran for a while in the dusk and came to a place. On the barren plains, the snow has almost melted, and a golden sunset shining on the earth.
It raised its head, sniffing left and right, as if lost. Then it took a deep breath and suddenly let out a wolf howl that shook the sky. The howling of wolves resounded in the mountains, forming an echo, and there seemed to be a pack of wolves responding in the mountains, wave after wave.
Not long after, on the wasteland, the wolves rushed towards the wolf from all directions. There were thousands of them under the black pressure. When they came to the wolf, they bowed their heads.
The gray wolf straightened up the wolf's body slightly, Lu Xu hurriedly hugged its neck, so as not to slide down, his eyes looked suspiciously at the wolves gathered around him.
The gray wolf shook his head, and "poofed" a piece of iron armor biting in the middle of its canine teeth. It fell on the stone and made a light noise. The local wolf first sniffed, then turned his head and ran away. Immediately, the remaining wolves swarmed like a sea tide, and the six wolves came forward to sniff the iron armor pieces, then turned and left in all directions. Repeatedly, in less than a moment, the wolves retreated cleanly and scattered to the plain below the Qilian Mountains.
"Pick it up." said the gray wolf, "you keep it."
Lu Xu took the iron armor piece, and the gray wolf carried him on his back and rushed to the western horizon where the red sun wheel was sinking. For a while, the wolves gathered again, and nearly two hundred wolves followed behind the Canglang, galloping across the wilderness.
The howls of wolves in the distance one after another, the gray wolves crossed the river, rushed up the cliff, and slid down the snow slope. The sun was settling and the moon was rising, and the moon's light became brighter and brighter, sending a piece of silver light to the earth. The wolves lined up on the ridge, howling in bursts, the gray wolf sniffed and smelled a strong smell in the air——
—The corpse smells.
In Liangzhou City, a violent wind was rising, and the sky was dim. Mrs. Qin Liang entered and lit the lamp.
"... That year, I was the school officer's bookkeeper in Shazhou. The boss was Jia Songwen, the youngest son of Mr. Jia. He was the school officer of the patrol, and I was his deputy. Our soldiers were training in the wind and going north in the sand... "
Twelve years ago, Qin Liang was only 23 years old that year, and he had been training with the school lieutenant for more than three months. Nearly two hundred people wanted to go through Yadan and go to Mingsha County. However, the sandstorm blew up that night. It swept through the six frontier cities and was one day away from Mingsha County, but everyone lost their way in Yadan and went further and further.
Gobi, smoke and dust billowed in the desert, everyone was trapped in the desert, their drinking water was cut off, and horses fell to the ground. Even killing the warhorse didn't release much blood. Jia Songwen and Qin Liang dragged their tired bodies, the soldiers carried stretchers and walked in the Gobi on foot.
Three days and nights later, everyone was finally dead and fell under a desert. Just when Qin Liang was about to lose consciousness, a tall man in Han Dynasty armor led hundreds of soldiers and appeared. In front of him.
Li Jinglong: "..."
Hong Jun was shocked: "Is that the people we met under the Great Wall?"
Qin Liang shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but some of his soldiers wear Hanshi armor, some wear Wei armor, some wear Northern Dynasties armor, and even worse, some people wear helmets. At first glance, it looks like an army."
At that time, Qin Liang was dying, and the leader picked him up, drove on Yadan for an hour, and finally threw him into a stream.
"I thought they were Turkic people who entered the barrier and took them into captivity, but they don’t look like them." Qin Liang said in a divine way, "At that time, the brothers were all sunk and fainted. When Yumen Pass surrendered, the leader took off his helmet and the mask."
Li Jinglong and Hongjun were silent, Qin Liang fell into his own memories and said in a daze: "His appearance...I still remember it after twelve years. His eyes were white, and his skin...was mottled. Gray, he is a corpse-the corpse of Han Shi."
Hongjun said "Ah", and Li Jinglong said: "An ancient corpse in Han Dynasty? How can I live to this day in eight|nine hundred years?"
Qin Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the leader told me that their name is called'War Dead Ghouls'. His surname is Liu, a royal family in Han Dynasty, and the king of ghouls. "
The cold wind blew into the room, and the lights flickered. Hongjun suddenly felt cold behind him.
Qin Liang said: "They traveled outside the Great Wall, sometimes appeared on the Silk Road, sometimes passed through Yadan, and went deep into the Hexi corridor."
"Why?" Li Jinglong asked.
Qin Liang said: "They will enter Yumen Pass at least once a year, looking for soldiers who fulfilled their duties but sacrificed heroically, and turn them into ghouls to expand the camp of ghost soldiers. Finally they arrive at Dunhuang for a pilgrimage and leave by themselves."
Hong Jun was surprised: "He is willing to save you, he must not be a bad monster."
"That's what I said." Qin Liang replied, "I guess there must be something legendary about the king of ghouls. Although he can save him easily, he is indeed my savior."
Li Jinglong and Hongjun looked at each other, and they were even more puzzled.
