The Dingbei King of the Chen State was one of the three "god generals" of the continent at the beginning of the Nebula Empire. Chen's national strength was meager, not as far as the Nebula Empire, but it was able to survive until the last of the four major vassal states to be annexed, relying almost entirely on an unmistakable army. According to historical records, at that time, Bai Zhongxu, the founding marshal of the Nebula Empire, went south to attack Chen with the momentum of wind and thunder, and more than half of the land of Chen fell to the country.

Bai Zhongxu returned to the army to rescue, Qu did not fight with him, secretly Chen Cang, and Chen lost his ground after recovering his ground. After the Southern Legion of the Nebula Empire changed its commander, the "God General" Bai Zhongxu was transferred to the north to conquer the Yan Kingdom, and Bai Zhongxu was succeeded by Huo Gu, another defensive master of the Nebula Empire. Five years later, Bai Zhongxu, who had conquered the other three kingdoms, made a comeback, only to find that Qu Buqiao had built a huge military fortress on the side of the Misty Forest, on the bank of the Lancang River. The two top commanders fought fiercely for months, and the blood of the fallen soldiers stained the Lancang River red. However, neither side was powerless to change the tide of the battle, and the two gods were evenly matched.

Although Hou Chen stubbornly blocked the offensive of the Nebula Empire with his infallibility, at that time, the Nebula Empire had already occupied four out of five of the territory of the Central Plains, and it was expected that the gap in national strength would be even worse in a few years, or it would be decided without a fight. History is sometimes like a story, and the Chen royal family couldn't hold it first, so they surrendered their seals. The Izumo Fortress was cut off, and the 8,000 soldiers who guarded the fortress one night after that were wiped out overnight, and the fall of this fortress became a mystery for future generations.

"The above is the record of "The Biography of Yingjie in Shu" about this fortress and Qu Bu Mistaking." Xingshen put away the book.

The old Taoist priest added a state of martial soul camouflage to the people of the Xingshen team, and in this state, all the martial souls would default to the team as the same kind. This way, they can go deep into the fortress unhindered to learn more information.

Feng Ruge didn't seem to be completely at ease with the old Taoist's spells, he still kept the shield in his hand, ready to fight at any time, and at this moment he turned his head: "Xingshen, we are already less than twenty meters away from the gate of the fortress, do we still want to advance?" ”

Xing Shen said: "Then the two of us will go to investigate first, and the others will wait for our news." ”

Xingshen and Feng Ruge walked straight towards the fortress, the gate of the fortress was long gone, but there were two teams of martial spirits neatly lined up in front of the gate. Seeing two people approaching, the two martial soul halberds in the front intersected: "Password?!" ”

Feng Ruge was suddenly blinded, and the shield in his hand tightened, but he heard Xing Shen say tentatively: "One body to fight three thousand miles." ”

One of the martial spirits replied: "One sword was once a million divisions!" Their blades were withdrawn, as if to let them go.

Xing Shen and Feng Ruge walked inside, Feng Ruge was puzzled: "How do you know their password?" ”

"Generally, the password in the barracks is set by the commander, this poem is a sentence that Qu Buxuan likes very much, I am not sure, I am casually blinded, I didn't expect it to be right." Xingshen is also very lucky, this poem is quite consistent with Qu Bu's life. The first half of the sentence has been reflected in "The Legend of Shuzhong Yingjie", but in the second half of the sentence, I don't know if the unmistakable saber Juque has such a brilliant record.

The fortress walls of Izumo Fortress are five or six zhang thick, and the stars sink and the wind is like a song to sigh at the grandeur of the fortifications, but it also feels as if the time taken is a little too long.

Entering the fortress, there was a cacophony of voices, the shouts of the commanders on the city walls, the trumpets of the soldiers, and the wails of the wounded soldiers in all corners of the fortress, all of which were mixed together to make people palpitate more than the lifelessness outside the fortress.

Feng Ruge and Xing Shen glanced at each other, as if they couldn't believe what was in front of them.

"Lao Zhang, when did the captain say the supplies will come?" It seemed to be a relatively clear voice coming from not far away.

"Ahem, tomorrow." His voice was rather weak, as if he was injured.

"Well, bear with me, when the supplies arrive, there should be bandages and medicine to treat your arrow wounds, and the big guys will be able to eat a full meal. The rations for this third of the people have been eaten for half a month, and some of the frail brothers can faint when they are on patrol. ”

"yes, ahem."

Xingshen and Feng Ruge continued to walk inside, except for the wounded, there were some heralds, or soldiers carrying the equipment to defend the city, and occasionally there were one or two teams of patrolling soldiers, the soldiers inside the fortress were different from the martial spirits outside, they seemed to be real living people, flesh and blood.

"Are we going to send a message to them?"

"Don't worry, continue to explore the situation, we haven't figured out what is going on yet."

The two continued to walk inside, not far away, and were stopped: "Bold, this place is an important place for military aircraft, what do you want?" ”

A rather strong soldier stopped them.

The two of them were suddenly shouted, and before they came back to their senses to deal with it, they saw the soldiers blocking the road and suddenly said, "It turned out to be a patrol outside the fortress, why don't you patrol outside, what are you doing when you come in?" ”

Xing Shen was about to speak and answer, but he didn't want the military candidate to listen to their explanation, so he shouted: "Don't go yet!" ”

The two had no choice but to turn back, and when they returned, they heard a woman's exclamation from the direction of the so-called 'military location'. I wanted to find out, but I saw a law enforcement team coming from that direction, so I had to withdraw from the fortress.

—————— Mystery Dividing Line—————————————————

"That's what happened." Xing Shen touched his head, "It always feels a little weird, let's go in together this time, anyway, there is the state of Dao Changjia's 'martial soul disguise', there is no danger." ”

"Okay" The other people who didn't go in felt that what Feng Ruge and Xing Shen said was too mysterious, could there be so many living soldiers inside?

Even if it is a group of eight people, it doesn't seem to be any different from two people, for the martial soul guarding the city gate, it is still the intersection of swords and halberds, and it is still the cold "password?" ”

Feng Ruge confidently reported Xingshen's answer last time: "One body is three thousand miles away." ”

"A sword was once a million divisions." Then they were let go.

Xing Shen was a little uneasy, muttering in his mouth, "According to the time in the game, a lot has passed, hasn't the password been changed?" ”

Xiaoyao Xiaomi noticed: "Xingshen, what are you muttering?" This fortress looks majestic up close. ”

"yes. The gates are so long. ”

When I walked to the exit, my eyes brightened, and as if I had lost my hearing for the first time, my ears became noisy. The various personnel immediately attracted everyone's attention. Suddenly, a conversation that seemed distant but very clear rang out:

"Lao Zhang, when did the captain say the supplies will come?"

"Ahem, tomorrow." His voice was rather weak, as if he was injured.

"Well, bear with me, when the supplies arrive, there should be bandages and medicine to treat your arrow wounds......" When they heard this, Feng Ruge and Xingshen's faces changed and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Master, what's wrong?" The atmosphere is fluttering and rainy, and the spirit is completely fresh, and there is no sense of anything wrong with the strong war atmosphere in the fortress.

"Strange to say, this conversation was heard by me when Feng Ruge and I first came." Xingshen is also a little uncertain.

"Yes, how is this possible," Yu Linling didn't believe it, and approached an uncle who was struggling to lift a log, and the uncle was very impatient: "Dodge away, the herbs in the barracks are long gone, and if you touch it, you will have it." ”

Lin Ling quickly made way for the uncle, turned around with a smile and said to Xing Shen, "Master, have you heard this sentence when you first came?" ”

Xing Shen smiled: "Haha, no." ”

Quiet also sighed, "There are people coming and going here, everyone is busy preparing for the war, and it doesn't look like the lifeless look we see outside." ”

Jiang Shan shook his head, "I think it's weirder inside than outside." ”

"Yes, although I can't say it, I always feel that these soldiers are not quite right." This sentiment also agreed with Jiang Shan's words, and then added, "Didn't that Taoist chief say that the ghost of this place is not gone? ”

Xing Shen was just about to answer, when he heard a loud shout: "Bold, this place is an important place for military aircraft, what do you want?" ”

A rather strong soldier stopped them.

Everyone looked at each other, Feng Ruge and Xingshen were even more surprised, thinking to themselves, why is this guy here again.

But when he saw the soldiers blocking the road, he suddenly said, "It turned out to be a patrol outside the fortress, why don't you patrol outside, what are you doing when you come in?" ”

Feng Ruge and Xing Shen didn't want to deal with this NPC anymore, but this NPC continued to talk to himself: "Don't go yet! After speaking, two teams of overseers walked out on both sides, and they were about to blast people out.

The level of the supervising team is as high as level 60, due to the suppression of the rank, all the information is a question mark, and everyone does not dare to start fighting at will, or Xingshen has a wit, "General, we have intelligence to report to General Qu Buzhu." ”

That unreasonable soldier may have been pleasant to the ear because of a 'general', or maybe it was some other twist, and he didn't go back last time, but this time he turned around, "Oh? What intelligence? ”

"It's about the Nebula Empire's army." Xingshen continued to edit.

"Do you still need to report to General Qu for such a trivial matter? The Nebula Empire's thief army will not come to harass for a while. You hurry out and be on guard, if there is anything wrong with the periphery, how many heads do you have to blame? Xingshen's lie really didn't work, and everyone was collectively kicked out. On the way to be chased, I heard the screams of the first woman again.

———————— mystery——————————————————————

"Now you believe it, right?" Feng Ruge looked at everyone, "There are so many soldiers inside, this fortress is simply unique!" ”

"Not necessarily." Xing Shen shook his head, "It can only be said that there is another mystery." ”

"You quietly, don't speak." Virgo stands on tiptoe and covers the mouth of the wind like a song. There was a huge contrast between the Doctor's petite stature and the shield warrior's muscular stature, and the scene amused the others.

"I'll throw bricks and lead the way," Xingshen began to analyze, "There are three suspicions I have found, first, the inside of the fortress is completely different from what we see outside; Second, there seems to be something wrong with the time in the fortress, it seems to be stuck in some kind of cycle, the specific details are that their passwords have not changed, and the previous encounter between me and Feng Ruge is the second time we go in and meet again - for example, the conversation when I just entered the city gate, and the military waiting that appeared later, even the lines of expelling us have not changed; Thirdly, it is unbelievable that the people in the fortress will change according to our behavior, as if they are real. ”

Virgo began to speak: "According to the old Taoist priest, this place is the place where the ghosts of the ancient Chen Kingdom gathered. Let's assume that these fortresses are full of ghosts, and they are the guards of this fortress two hundred years ago, so is it understandable that they are busy preparing for war and they lack food and medicine? ”

Xiaomi was puzzled: "Although this assumption can be exactly in line with the past, there is no way to explain why they are behaving like two hundred years ago now?" This one is too weird! ”

"Yes, why did they behave like they did two hundred years ago, like sometime in their history, probably the day before this fortress was abandoned. What's even more strange is why when we go in and what we see and hear is a certain day 200 years ago? Xingshen seemed to have suddenly grasped some key point.

Jiang Shan thoughtfully: "Phantom array." Everyone turned to look at him.

"I've heard that there is a lost phantom array called 'A Dream for a Thousand Years', which can make people fall into a certain scene, unable to wake up, and the body is asleep, but the soul is circulating in the phantom array, birth, old age, sickness and death. It sounds quite consistent with the strange situation we encountered. ”

I can't wait for this and can't help it, "Yes, I've also heard of this, it is said that there are witchcraft in southern Xinjiang that will also be similar to witchcraft." ”

"Is there any way to crack this illusion or sorcery?" Quiet asked.

"I know this, master, I know!" Yu Linling suddenly jumped up.

"Oh? Lin Ling, you talk about it~" Xingshen was surprised.

"To unlock the bell, you must tie the bell, and if you want to break this magic array, you must find a spellcaster." Yu Linling is full of confidence

Xiaoyao Xiaomi asked curiously: "Then how do we find out the caster?" ”

"Ah~ This ......" Yu Linling frowned, "People don't know either." ”

Xiao Wan'er rubbed Yu Linling's head, "It's okay, your master will find a way." ”

"Well, yes, Master is so powerful, there must be no problem." The mysterious belief of the rain spirit.

Xingshen also didn't know what to say, so he had to continue: "Let's try to stimulate the soldiers in the fortress with different behaviors first, see how they react, and collect more information to maybe find something." For example, I just said that there is a military situation to report, and the military officer is obviously interested, how do you think we can report it to trigger other developments? Also, why is there a woman's scream at the end of every time she is kicked out, how can there be a woman in the barracks? ”

Everyone chattered, and finally decided on a plan of action, and the group regrouped again, preparing to enter the Misty Fortress.
