The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 42 The Five Ghost Generals of the Xu Family
After Ran Ming retreated to the depths of the forbidden land, Xu Changzhi saw from a distance that there were four vague figures waiting for him in the mist. "It seems that the injuries of the five seniors have really healed. Xu Changzhi thought excitedly, the five ghosts will heal from their injuries at this time, which is really timely for Xu Changzhi. After the ancestors of the Xu family instructed Xu Changzhi on the usage and precautions of the "Golden Silkworm Immortal Fruit", they all returned to their graves. After bidding farewell to these ancestors of the Xu family, Xu Changzhi hurriedly came to the forbidden place and saw the "Martial Mourning Heavenly King" Ran Ming and the other four ghost generals sitting cross-legged on the ground to cultivate. Xu Changzhi walked up to Ran Ming and clenched his fists, and said, "Five seniors, do you have time to listen to Chang Zhi's chatter?"
"What's the matter with the palace master, but it's okay to say it?" Ran Ming said as he opened his eyes.
"Presumably, the five seniors have already heard the conversation with the ancestors just now. Xu Changzhi said, "But the most important problem was crossed by Sheng Er's sword, Chang Zhi came to the forbidden land this time, and he didn't expect that the injuries of the five seniors would heal. That's why I will wake up the ancestors of my Xu family in advance. As a result, the most important issues were diverted from the ancestors' concern for Sheng'er, which was really ashamed. Xu Changzhi said so much, but he didn't say what the most important topic was, he wanted to test where the five ghost generals began to listen to the conversation between him and the ancestors.
"Palace Master, the most important thing you said refers to the destruction of the Holy See that you just talked about, or does it refer to the matter of 'the ghost gate is wide open, and a hundred ghosts walk at night'" A ghost general who looked like a scholar behind Ran Ming asked. This scholar's name is Wen Tianxiang, I saw that he was magnificent, beautiful as jade, and his eyebrows and eyes looked like a personable talent, which made it impossible for people to associate him with the generals at all. But this Wen Tianxiang is the only one of the five ghost generals who is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. He was the champion of the imperial examination during his lifetime, and later due to the power of the ministers and the invasion of foreign enemies, he abandoned literature and military affairs when he was worried about internal and external troubles, and led the army to resist foreign enemies. However, due to the presence of traitors in the army, the army was defeated and captured, and he was killed after refusing persuasion three times. After his death, Wen Tianxiang's soul was unable to be reincarnated through the Nai He Bridge due to his deep attachment to the Chinese nation, and was finally received by the head of the Xu family at that time and became a ghost general in the Seven Non-Heavenly Palace.
After hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, Xu Chang immediately understood the conversation between himself and the ancestors, and these five seniors heard it from beginning to end. Xu Changzhi immediately said: "What Chang Zhi said, both are important things. But I think you've all heard the folklore of 'Seven and a Half Months, Nine Stars in a Row, the Demon King Appears', and now this legend may be coming true? I want to hear the thoughts of the five seniors?"
"I'm already a person who has died once. Another ghost general next to Wen Tianxiang said. "If there is really any 'Demon King' in this world who wants to mess with my Huaxia, you must first ask me if this sword in the hand of Zu Nagi is okay. ”
"Zu Nagi, can you stop the thousands of troops of the demon clan alone?" said Wei Qing, another ghost general. "Palace Master, don't worry, if there is really a demon invasion of my Huaxia, this little ghost and I will definitely bring my 100,000 big man iron horses and step on the ground for them. Wei Qing pointed to Huo Qubing next to him as he spoke.
"Uncle, don't forget that there is also Boss Ran's 'Beggar Army'. Huo Qubing kindly reminded Wei Qingdao on the side.
"Seniors, it's not yet to the point of going to war with the demons, and now it's time to find a way to keep my Huaxia stable. On the premise of ensuring stability, think about how to prevent the resurrection of the demon king. Xu Changzhi said, "Today is the 14th of July, and tomorrow is the 'Ghost Day', which is also the day of the resurrection of the legendary 'Demon King'. But I couldn't find any clues to confirm my thoughts. ”
"Have you been in contact with other decent people in Huaxia?" Wen Tianxiang asked.
"Not yet, because the recent 'Halloween' is approaching, there are frequent supernatural events across the country, and major families and famous families are busy clearing supernatural events. I also did not convene the 'Far Mountains Conference'. So the news hasn't gotten out yet, but I believe in such a big thing, even if I don't say it. They will all know in less than half a day. Xu Changzhi said.
"Also, such a big thing, even if he has a great power in the Western dark race, it is impossible to completely cover it. No sound leakage at all. Wen Tianxiang said. "Then what about the Drought Clan and the Demon Clan on this side of Huaxia now? They are also the same as the Blood Clan, they are the remnants of the 'Demon King' left in the present world back then, and the Blood Clan in Europe have all taken action, as comrades-in-arms, don't they have any action?"
"It's strange here, since the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the remnants of the 'Demon King' in the entire Chinese Drought Clan and the Demon Clan have been too quiet, without any major action, and occasionally one or two little zombies or demons come out to make trouble, and they are all low-level juniors who have not opened their wisdom. Those big demons and big zombies seem to have evaporated from the world. Xu Changzhi said.
"Could it be that these guys, after being trapped in the 'Penglai Wonderland' with those decent people for a hundred years, have all been reformed, and they no longer do evil?"
"Impossible, I don't know about others, at least the 'overlord' of the 'Dragon' squad I have dealt with him, this guy's resentment is very deep, it is impossible to be influenced, when he was trapped in Penglai, if it wasn't for being trapped for too long, he had a strong hatred for the Japanese Amaterasu God and the Japanese gods who participated in the seal, and I believe that in the end, the counterattack of the Japanese Onmyoji and the Stranger will not participate. Wei Qing said. "I also think that these people have been holding their temper still, and it is really possible that they are planning some big action. It's about my Huaxia safety, and my eldest brother has to guard against it. ”
"Yes, indeed. Ran Ming nodded after listening to Wei Qing's words and said. "But the 'Corpse King' Fan Li was originally born as a strategist, and what big things he wants to plan are not easy to come by, plus the wisdom of his military advisor 'Liu Han' is unparalleled in the world. Combined, the wisdom of the five of my brothers is less than half that of one of them. How's that okay?"
"Big brother, I think there is only one way to deal with the current situation, and that is to respond to all changes with the same. Wen Tianxiang said. "Whether it's the 'Corpse King' Fan Li or the 'Nine Demon Saints' of the Demon Clan, if they want to make trouble from it, they will definitely make a fuss on tomorrow's 'Ghost Festival', then we just need to keep the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' tomorrow night. ”
"Without knowing the true intentions of the enemy, that's all there is to it. Ran Ming said: "On the side of the Emperor Xudu, the Yin soldiers have only doubled the guards, then my Zongling Seven Non-Heavenly Palace will add another 50,000 to him." After speaking, Ran Ming said to Wei Qing behind him. "Wei Qing, please transfer 50,000 iron horsemen to cooperate with the palace master's security work tomorrow. ”
"Okay big brother," Wei Qing replied.
"Huo Qubing, you will lead the remaining 50,000 iron horsemen and my 'beggar army' tomorrow to stand by at any time. Ran Ming continued. "Zu Xu, Wen Tianxiang, you two are by the palace master's side, and you are ready to be dispatched by the palace master at any time. Let me 'Five Ghost Generals' go to meet his Drought Clan and Demon Clan. ”
Seeing the momentum of Ran Ming's body, Xu Changzhi couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of being the 'King of Martial Mourning', as long as it is for Huaxia, even if the enemy is strong, he will go up to fight." This is the real national hero of my Chinese people. ”
