Following the old monk to the main block of the city, Tianmo looked at the ghosts drifting on the street from a distance, his eyes were a little gloomy. Some ghosts also noticed Tian Mo, looked at Tian Mozhong's eyes full of fear, and looked at the old monk beside Tian Mo before he was somewhat relieved.

"Are they afraid? Are they scared of me? ”

"So to speak." The old monk smiled lightly, "They're just afraid of disturbing the people living here." ”

Disturb? Tianmo did not frown slightly, and was a little puzzled and puzzled by the old monk's words.

"People follow the temple bells for fear of disturbing each other. These ghosts don't hurt humans, humans don't fear them, they just have a kind of respect and awe for each other. Because they feel that no matter what the other person is, they have the right to survive each other. ”

It turned out to be the case, no wonder the owner of the inn mentioned this before, although he had been dodging and dodging this matter, there was no fear on his face, and he prevented himself and Li Qingza from leaving the room at night for fear that they would disturb these ghosts.

"Why is this happening? Aren't people supposed to be afraid of ghosts? ”

"It's all because of the emperor who is now defending the country." The old monk smiled lightly, and his eyes flashed with kindness.

"I heard that he is a descendant of the former Patriotic Imperial Family, but what I know is ...... The royal family of the Wei Kingdom was all killed by Shen Yao, the monarch of the Qi State, and it was impossible for any descendants to survive. ”

"You're right, they're all dead. But the current monarch is indeed the queen of the royal family. ”

"What does the master mean that he came back from the dead?"

"No, no." The old monk shook his head slightly, the emperor who rules here now is not a human, but a ghost. ”

Tianmo felt even more incredible, it was twenty years ago that the country was destroyed. Twenty years, even if it is a ghost who escapes, it should be captured by the Yin Si of the ghost world. How can it be that he is still in the world, and he still appears in front of everyone and rules a country.

"Master, are you really serious?"

"Monks don't speak."

"Can the master tell me the name of this monarch?"

The old monk nodded lightly and said slowly, "His name is Yun Xinglan. ”

“！！！”

Tianmo stood there in shock, looking at the old monk speechless for a long time.

"Yun Xinglan...... Yun Xinglan ...... Is he the Yongwang who died on the battlefield twenty years ago, Yun Xinglan?! ”

"Yes, it was the Yongwang back then."

"What the hell is going on, Yun Xinglan will appear here, and it will make the whole country become this strange appearance."

That's a long story. Previously, the Patriotic State was defeated and had to submit to the State of Qi and became the territory of the State of Qi. Originally, under the rule of Shen Yao, the monarch of Qi, people lived a stable and happy life, but since the Qi country changed, Shen Yao was killed by the rebels, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously implemented tyranny, and people were miserable. The original patriotic people here were forced into a desperate situation and had to revolt and resist, but the uprising had just begun, and the rebel army was almost devastated, and the new emperor ordered the army to slaughter the city and kill all the people in the original patriotic territory. But on the day of the Qi ** team's operation, the entire city was suddenly surrounded and covered by fog. On that day, there was not half a figure in sight on the noisy street, and the people were afraid to hide in their homes and did not dare to come out, but in the deathly silence, they suddenly heard a long and familiar sound of trumpets sounding on the streets and outside the city, and then there was a deafening sound of fighting in their ears. The sound of the trumpet was a call to charge that belonged to the army led by the previous Yongwang. The shouting lasted for about an hour, and gradually, the shouting disappeared, and the fog gradually receded. The people walked out of their homes one after another, but what they saw was a scene they will never forget. On the streets, the walls of the houses were covered with blood, and the soldiers in the uniforms of the Qi soldiers fell to the ground, while some soldiers in patriotic armor were silently cleaning the streets, disposing of the remains of these soldiers. Among the soldiers who defended the country, some recognized their former relatives, those who had died on the battlefield with His Royal Highness King Yong. ”

"Those patriotic soldiers are...... Yin soldiers?! ”

"No, they are the souls who guard this land and its people." The old monk paused and continued, "Immediately after that, some of them saw a general riding a white horse and wearing silver armor commanding the soldiers outside the city, and some people recognized that person was the Yongwang Yun Xinglan who had spilled blood on the battlefield back then. Later, the people here knew that not only here, but also in every city that previously belonged to the Patriotic Kingdom, people heard the trumpet of the army belonging to the Yongwang King, and also saw those heroic souls. Gradually, everyone understood that it was His Royal Highness the Eternal King who saved everyone and saved everyone. ”

"Sacrifice your life for the country and bless the territory, maybe it's them. But, Master, what about after this? ”

"On that day, after saving all the people, they disappeared without a trace, and no trace was found. Until that day...... Some refugees came to the city, saying that they had been attacked by demons, and then some people who had not been out for a long time came back, saying that the outside of the city was full of corpses and demons killing humans. Everyone thought that the end of the world was coming, but after five days in a row, they found that nothing happened. Knowing that the soldiers guarding the city walls have once again discovered the traces of the army of the Eternal King, they have been guarding the hidden places outside the city, guarding us all. The next thing, I also heard from others, everyone was looking for His Royal Highness King Yong, and finally someone saw King Yong and Princess Yong in the dilapidated palace before the defense of the country. ”

Princess Yong...... Mu Qianchen!! How could she show up......

"Although they knew that King Yong was already a ghost, the people were not afraid of him at all, and everyone begged him to stay, be with everyone, re-establish the kingdom of defense, and become the master of the country."

He ...... Promised? ”

The old monk shook his head and nodded lightly. "He didn't agree at first, because he was dead after all, and this was against the way of heaven after all, but an unexpected thing happened, so he had to stay."

"Something unexpected?"

"Demons are wreaking havoc on the world outside, but there are still people who want to use this to satisfy their greed. The Apocalypse Country, which is closest to here, wants to take advantage of the chaos in the human world, and then the momentum of demons, and take advantage of the chaos to attack the countries adjacent to it and become a temporary hegemon, and his first target is this ungoverned and unmanaged country. The 300,000 army pressed the border, and it was far from enough to rely on the army of King Yong to confront him, and because of this, King Yong chose to stay, agreed to everyone's request, and commanded people to resist foreign enemies. When the battle was over, King Yong and his army were no longer hiding, and the light appeared in front of everyone. But ordinary people are inevitably invaded and affected by ghosts, and in order to deal with such a method, His Royal Highness King Yong, no, His Majesty Xià had to order that ghosts can only come out at night. ”

"But what about those bronze bells?"

"Although the ghosts are separated from the people, the cold aura on their bodies will still endanger the people, and it is at this time that the former Princess Yong, now the Queen Mother, invited a friend of hers. In order to eliminate the influence of ghosts on people, she instantly built stupas in the temples of each city, and used the stupas as a shelter for ghosts, and each bronze bell on the pagoda represented each of them. According to the temple bells, it is not a rule of His Majesty, but a spontaneous act of the people. These ghosts were just soldiers of the Eternal King's army at first, and then they added the people who died one after another. Everyone wants the heroes to stay, and let their relatives stay. The story of the old man is finished, and I don't know how much the donor's question has been solved. ”

"I see...... Master, have you ever met a friend of the princess? Tianmo looked at the old monk and asked eagerly.

"The old man has indeed seen it, it is a young girl in a red dress with a somewhat cold expression."

Sure enough, it was her...... It turns out that this qiē is really related to lingering dust......

"So...... Master, have those demons never entered the city? ”

"No, it was because it was protected by King Yong's army, but later, it was ...... I don't know why, the army of the Yongwang outside has withdrawn, and they have not come in again, and occasionally they have strayed in, and they immediately retreated in panic. ”

"When was this?"

"It was after the stupa was built. Do you have any questions? ”

"No, no." Tianmo folded his hands and bowed to the old monk, "Thank you, Master, I understand everything." ”

Yes, he understands everything, and this qiē is related to lingering dust. If it weren't for the reason of the lingering dust, the souls of these dead people would have been taken away by the Yin Si a long time ago, how could they appear here? I'm afraid that Yun Xinglan and Mu Qianchen, as well as those dead soldiers, are here because of the lingering dust.

Although he was a little relieved, there were more and more doubts in Tianmo's heart. He became more and more confused, since he wanted to destroy the world by demons, why did he need to protect the land of Weiguo, and why did he do so many things for these people. In the end, because she really still has the kindness and conscience that has not yet been extinguished in her heart, she feels that she still owes Mu Qianchen.

Yingchen, Yan'er, I'm a big brother and I can't understand you more and more.

When Tianmo came back to his senses, the figure of the old monk had disappeared into the inky night. Tianmo raised his head, looked at the stars in the middle of the ink, and smiled lightly, Lingering Chen, I, as a big brother, really don't know you at all.

Linwei City is ahead, I must find Mu Qianchen and ask her clearly.
