A ghost is a fragment of a soul, and once the body dies, the ghost may hover near the corpse, and if there is no adventure, the limit of the ghost's existence will not exceed 49 days. - "The Important Matter of the Ruler"

-

The light rain in Sanguan gradually receded, the sky cleared slightly, and the northbound journey of the group from Sanqiao Village was more comfortable.

As the weather cleared, the dirt road under their feet gradually hardened, and the group gradually came to a gravel road with pine forests on both sides.

Listening to the sound of the wind flowing in the pine forest, Nan Shicai smiled, Wang Yu glanced at the girl's smile, took a breath of refreshing air, and suddenly felt that Sansheng was lucky.

The white clouds are out of Xiu, the stream is murmuring, which cannot be seen in Tianxi, Wang Yu feels that the pain of the head has been cured.

As we walked, something bad for the scenery appeared, a large grave bag appeared on the side of the road, and a peculiar smell appeared in the air.

Wang Yu's scalp was cold, and he saw a lot of chaotic lumps by the grave, and the others turned a blind eye to it, and it seemed that he was the only one who could see it.

Han Tian exchanged glances with everyone, the tomb bag was new, and the style of the soil was not like it was made by the Xia people, but more like it was made by the Qingyi people, he walked to Nan Shicai's side and wanted to ask her and Wang Yu's opinion.

Master Zhou and his father's body are always unique, Han Tian fixed his mind.

Wang Yu listened and said categorically: "This is done by the Qingyi people, just twelve days ago, there were a total of fourteen dead people in this big grave. ”

Nan Shicai's hands holding the lantern tightened, "Control the water, you...... Can you see ghosts?"

Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Not only did I see it, but I also read some news, hey, I don't understand it either." ”

"These fourteen men told me that they said they had met two Qingyi rangers, and they were by—"

Halfway through hearing this, Han Tian said in a trembling voice: "I was 'pounced on Leqin'." ”

Plen Qincao, is the Qing Yi language, that is, "blood is noble".

This is a self-proclaimed quality of the Qingyi people, that is, 'the Qingyi people do not plunder property, only kill people, and think that this is a simple nobility', and this outrageous "quality" is to pounce on the Qincao.

The Qingyi people attacked and killed fourteen innocent people out of this "strange noble tradition" and buried them in a large grave, and the tragedy in front of them made the entourage shudder, scolding: "Monsters, ......"

Fear spread in the ranks, and Han Tian was also a little shaken, but he still stubbornly shouted: "Keep going!" As long as you bring Xirong's head to Beiguan, you will be rewarded with a lot. ”

Under the promise of materiality, people suppressed their fears, trembled and continued to move on.

Nan Shicai, who was sitting on the ox cart, tightened his mind, held the umbrella in his hand, and began to be on guard.

After marching for another hour and a half, the birds and flowers were singing and fragrant along the way, there was nothing unusual, and even the smell of blood was not smelled, Wang Yu spread out a trace amount of Qi, and sensed the surrounding situation with his consciousness.

"Look!"

A village soldier trembled and pointed ahead, where there were two small graves, the soil of which was also very new, and next to the two graves, a child was carving a tombstone.

The child was dressed in a stubby coat with his head covered in a sack, with his back to the group.

Wang Yu saw the ghost again, it was the ghost of the Qingyi people, and he told Han Tian: "The two Qingyi people folded here, just ten days ago, it is really good and evil are rewarded." ”

"This kid...... Is it a youkai?"

"The fluctuations of the monster are smoke-like, and this child is spiral-shaped, it is Master Zhou, the Great Sheng Realm. ”

The implication is that the odds of winning are not great.

Noticing the sound, the boy stopped his knife and asked, "I didn't plant this tree, I opened this road, if you want to cross it from here, leave it to buy road money." ”

Wang Yu whispered to Han Tian and Nan Shicai that the two Qingyi people died of the child's Zhou Shu because they didn't give money, and the stones along the way were all paved by the child.

It's better to break the fortune and avoid disasters, Han Tian asked the child, "How much?"

"A tael of silver, um, wait?"

Want to sit on the ground and start the price? Han Tian suddenly felt tricky, this time he wanted to make money in the north, did he want to lose money?

The boy turned around and asked, "What do you have on your waist? Is the iron sign engraved with the word 'Shangxian'?"

"Uh, uh-huh. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, the child also took out an iron plaque that was also engraved with 'Shang Xian'.

The remnants of the Gate met another remnant.

Han Tian was overjoyed, "Dare to ask if it's the northern faction or the central faction?"

Three hundred years ago, because of the disagreement on the way to realize the righteousness, so it was split into the northern, central, and southern three factions, since then each went to one side, and now the children of the Jumen are scattered everywhere, and the career is sluggish, and it is extremely surprising to see a former colleague again.

The child scratched his head through the sack and laughed at himself: "In Xia Zhu Yi, the teacher inherits the northern faction...... Oh, so far, what do you care about these things for, I'm a junior left in this vein. ”

"Come with me, the tomb of the Northern Sect is nearby. ”

Zhu Yi led everyone to a sheep intestine path, his steps were sonorous and powerful, just by looking at it, Wang Yu could feel the power, he didn't know that Alaya could make the aura of the people around him infect his mind.

While leading the way, Zhu Yi talked about the past, and people seemed to like to tell stories when they walked on the road.

Just seventy years ago, Fengshen, who lived in the land of Sanguan, was expelled by Zhang Yongye, the leader of the northern sect of Jumen, and most of them were subsequently killed by angry locals.

To ask Zhang Yongye why he expelled Fengshen, his answer was: "The land of Sanguan is already fertile enough without relying on gods, they are already addicted to rotten leaves, and they also rely on the power of strange gods to forcibly extract fertility, the land will be squeezed dry sooner or later, and the people of Sanguan will lose the ability to work at the last bit sooner or later, and besides, the guy called Fengshen ...... It has made the growth of rotten leaves more powerful. ”

Gods who are not registered by the government on the orthodox god tree are called strange gods.

Zhang Yongye believes that "the power of the strange gods is not to give prosperity to the land out of thin air, but to extract fertility from the depths of the land to harvest the faith of the people and achieve the purpose of domination. ”

In order to save the people of Sanguan, we must first cut off false comfort, which is a move to quit drugs.

Strange gods like Toyojin will choose their favorite people from among the human beings and give them power, and such people are called 'divine servants'.

So, he led all the warriors of the Northern Sect to the shrine of Fengshen and fought fiercely with Fengshen and his attendants, and after paying a terrible price, Fengshen was expelled, and the priests were either killed or sealed in the enchantment.

As soon as the poison was gone, the people had a withdrawal reaction.

As soon as they learned that "the day when the seeds are scattered at will and the harvest will be affected", and even the growth of the rotten leaves will be affected, they directly attacked the injured children of the Northern faction, except for Zhu Yi's father, who escaped, the rest were killed and beheaded.

Peeling back the layers of tree branches, a deserted but not gloomy small cemetery is presented in front of you.

Here, the grass is delicious, the fallen flowers are colorful, there are no weeds, and there are tributes in front of the tomb, and you can know that there are people guarding and maintaining the tomb on weekdays.

After listening to the story, Wang Yu's Shenjing twitched, and he was clever, and he figured out who the "Mr. Almost" was a day ago.

Inadvertently, Alaya Zhi pointed out the cause and effect for Wang Yu.

Mr. Almost's Yuanchi did not have an atmosphere of "from the original yuan", and Shi Tao said that it was not the first time he had walked there, and he had never met this person before, presumably he entered the nearby enchantment that day and met Mr. Almost.

Maybe it's because I took Master Zhou with me that I entered the enchantment, and the woman who called herself 'Mr. Almost' was the god of Fengshen back then!

"Which one is Zhang Zi's tomb? ”

"The one facing the Jin Kingdom, the one engraved with 'Grandmaster of the Northern School' is. ”

Han Tian respectfully bowed in front of Zhang Yongye's tombstone, and muttered to himself: "If you don't work, you can't eat, until the last moment, you are indeed teaching people that those who rely on their strength will live, and those who don't rely on their strength will not live." ”

On the side of the tombstone, there seem to be some small characters engraved, Qingming has passed for a while, willows have been inserted in front of the tomb, Han Tian hastily made a white ribbon, hanging in front of the tomb of the elders of the Jumen.

Plug the willows and hang the green, and that's it.

"I am a gate, my roots are not dead, and I will eventually recover. ”

There is a "hanging green" in front of the tomb, indicating that there is a successor to the owner of the tomb, and after paying tribute to the ancestors, Han Tian is ready to retire.

Before retiring, he asked Zhu Yi if he was with him, and Zhu Yi said: "Guarding the tomb for ten years, and then you can do whatever you want, this is my father's instructions before his death, and I dare not disobey." ”

Han Tian promised Zhu Yi that if something happened, he could come to Sanqiao Village for help.

Zhu Yi handed the two Qingyi knives to Han Tian and said, "These two knives are strange. ”

The wind blew the hanging green in front of the grave, swaying with the wind like wicker, and Nan Shicai remembered the friends he had met by the tomb in the past.

And Wang Yu, thinking of his father's grave, a wave of anger surged into his heart again.

The living left the cemetery and continued to go north, Han Tian thought about the small words on the side of Zhang Yongye's tombstone, and felt that he had gained courage from his predecessors, no matter what he encountered on the road, he would not waver.

"Everything is more valuable than righteousness, the lofty ideals are heel-free, in order to benefit the world, even if they are beheaded, my heart is worry-free, whether from now on, or in the future, my fellow believers, many people are powerful. ”

Repeating the small words on the side of the tombstone and repeating the message of his ancestors, Han Tian laughed.

Han Tian's body seemed to be flickering with points of light, only Wang Yu saw this detail, and then an emotion pierced his Shenjing, and he exclaimed: "What a Zhang Yongye, what a moment gate, with the body of an ordinary person, although he is the head of the owl, he is still in power." ”

As soon as he finished admiring, Wang Yu immediately felt something, and his eyes glared to the northeast.

The two horses in ambush to the northeast were startled, and the two soldiers in the saddle were thrown off their horses and rolled down the hillside.

Only then did everyone draw out the captured scimitar and form a formation to defend it.

The two sloppy soldiers stood up in embarrassment, one drew a knife, the other grabbed a big flag, and the two looked at Han Tian and the others tremblingly.

The flag reads the word "cloud screen".

The soldier holding the knife trembled, and his speech trembled, "Ben, Ben will look at you, you ...... If you act secretly, you must be a thief from Xirong, and you will be caught before you can tie your hands!"

Han Tian understood, is this the trick of "fellow, borrow a head to receive a military merit"?

He put away the knife and asked his subordinates to take out a bird gun issued by Zhang Chenyuan before leaving, and released a gun into the sky, and the explosion of gunpowder was like thunder on the ground, which frightened the two soldiers to turn around and flee, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

"Yunping galloped to the north? Alas, it's still Longyun's soldiers' rules. ”

Han Tian took another step, and they arrived at Beiguan Military Town in the evening, and no one noticed that a figure had followed all the way from Sanqiao Village.

In Beiguan, the huge city wall still bears the wounds left by Xirong's invasion, but the city has been revitalized by Xirong's retreat, even at night, it is still lit up.

Beiguan Military Town is also a Tongdu Dayi, in addition to the huge military city and relatively prosperous merchants, there are also large-scale bathhouses.

The people who had been on the road for several days were in need of a bathhouse to take a bath, and there was a large pot hanging at the door, and there was a bathhouse over there.

Han Tian touched the money, and gave the village soldiers a field that could accommodate more than 100 people, and then pointed to the women's field, signaling Nanshi Caike to go there to solve it.

This process is not pressed on the table.

Back at the inn, Han Tian found Nan Shicai and Wang Yu and took out the two Qingyi knives that Zhu Yi gave him.

"Zhu Yi said that there was a problem with the two knives, so I wanted to ask Master Zhou to take a look. ”

Nan Shicai pulled out two knives and put them on the table, except for a dice tied to the end of the handle, and the word "system" was engraved on the handle, these two knives were ordinary in each place.

The meaning of the word system is unclear.

Wang Yu suggested: "Inject Qi Liu to see?"

Nan Shicai picked up a knife, narrowed his eyes, injected his own qi, and then threw the knife on the ground again.

"What's wrong?"

"When I was holding the knife, a voice came out of my head, saying to me, 'The more people you cut, the more rewards', it is indeed strange, this knife is ominous, take it to make soup, or sell it, there should be many people who like to refine this kind of thing. ”

Han Tian put away the two knives, thinking that he would find a pawnshop tomorrow, or he could use this knife to bribe Yu Wenlong.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to see Yu Wenlong, and you'll head east, right? Be careful of the Qingyi people, they don't retreat like the other Xirongs, they are fighting eastward with all their might. ”

"I have my own calculations. ”

After Han Tian closed the door and left, Nan Shicai took Wang Yu out of the lantern to breathe.

"There are a lot of bad things in Dongjiao, we don't care what the Qingyi people are doing, we just take care of ourselves. ”

"What the hell is there?"

Wang Yu felt the need to understand, out of responsibility for this head.

Nan Shicai took a deep breath and said: "The East Pass is adjacent to the Faint Miasma Forest, and legend has it that blood often rains in the forest, and there are black eyes and ghouls in the forest......

When it comes to ghouls, Nan Shicai thinks of his old friend again.

The water in the five elements is still black, so it is called "black eyes", in ancient times, it was said that the five elements of water and gas were born of the disaster, sex is like a shadow, the shape is like black water, often turns into the appearance of "jackals, tigers and leopards", and there are also examples of turning into "human shape", in the last years of the Yu Dynasty, there are people who have seen the black eyes captive children in the land of Qi and Zhao today.

Ghouls are living corpses that only appeared in the East and West Seas 80 years ago, and they often use fire guns to attack maritime merchants and fishermen in ghost ships, and the Jin, Wu, and Cheng Kingdoms are the fire guns that the ghouls first saw.

Wang Yu was puzzled, "Sanguan is located inland, how can there be ghouls?"

Nan Shicai almost wanted to say something, but finally held back
