Ghost Shuai's words were straightforward and undisguised, but I was completely stopped by him, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

I looked him in the eye and tried to guess what he really thought. But the ghost's eyes were sunk deep in their sockets, and there was a dark red light, and I couldn't see his eyes clearly.

Judging from the face of the ghost handsome, he should have been a rough man before his death, with a scruffy beard and a slightly upturned chin, which looked very tough. It's just that after his death, his facial muscles atrophied and clung tightly to his facial bones, which made him look a little urban.

The ghost handsome's hair was black and hard, all combed to the back of his head and tied up in an ancient bun, and then simply tied with a square scarf. Judging from the style of the bun, he is at least a ghost before the Ming Dynasty, maybe even earlier. And he is good at leading troops, it is estimated that he must have been a fierce general during his lifetime, and maybe he was a very famous figure in history.

In addition, there was a very strange wound in the middle of his forehead, which was diamond-shaped, and the wound was very deep, as if it had been wounded by a sharp arrow. Perhaps, he was shot in the head by this arrow before he died?

I couldn't answer Ghost Shuai's question right away, so in order to avoid embarrassment, I planned to lead the topic elsewhere first: "Since Ghost Shuai wants to talk to me about cooperation and alliance, first of all, you have to tell me where you came from!" Who was the ghost handsome before his death? Life should be a hero, and death is also a ghost, right? ”

"Hahaha!" The ghost shuai looked up and laughed again, laughing a little inexplicably.

After laughing, he suddenly changed his face to a serious face and said to me, "If someone else asks me this question, I will definitely not answer." I might even kill him! You know, my name can't be passed on casually! ”

"Oh, really?" I was not afraid of his intimidation, and I looked him coldly.

"But if you really want to know, I can tell you!" Ghost Shuai slowly stood up and started to undo his shirt.

I was so confused by his actions that I quickly reached behind my waist and felt the handle of the knife to prevent him from hiding a weapon in his clothes and attacking him.

But the ghost handsome didn't mean anything else, he really wanted to take off his clothes. Then, I finally understood his intention: the chest and back of the ghost handsome were densely covered with the same hole scars as on the forehead, like a hornet's nest. Obviously, he was obviously killed by random arrows in his last life!

"I am a general of the Song Dynasty, full of loyalty. My father was besieged by the Khitans on the Two Wolf Mountain and could not escape, he was unwilling to surrender to the enemy, and finally crashed into the monument and died; My eldest brother pretended to be the King of Song, fell into a trap in the Golden Beach Double Dragon Club, and died on behalf of the master; My second brother bravely captured the city gate, lifted a jack, and was hacked to death by the Liao soldiers; After my third brother broke off alone, the protector escaped, and was trampled into a pulp by the enemy horse and died; My fourth brother was captured, my fifth brother was shaved, and only the sixth brother was able to inherit the incense. ”

"And I, Shichiro, rushed back to the camp to find the commander to move the rescue soldiers after fighting my way out of the encirclement, but I was drunk and tied up, framed and surrendered to the enemy, and hung on the head of a hundred-foot pole and shot to death with random arrows! One hundred and three arrows, seventy-two arrows pierced the chest, and the last arrow hit the eyebrows! When I died, my body was thrown into the river, and there were no bones left! ”

Ghost Shuai put on his clothes again and asked me lightly, "Presumably, you should be able to guess who I am by now, right?" ”

Alas, if you can't guess this, I'm too uneducated!

"Yang Jiajiang, Yang Qilang, Yang Yansi!" I couldn't help but be in awe, got up and hugged my fists and said: "Loyal ministers and good generals, leave a name through the ages, and the younger generations should worship!" ”

Shichiro calmly accepted my bow, and then sneered and said, "Loyal and good general? Hum! I miss my Yang family, loyal and loyal, protect the lord and serve the country, but in the end I was poisoned by traitors and died a tragic death! Even though I have been dead for a thousand years, I still can't look away! For decades, I realized a truth at the cost of my life: if you are a good person, you must not be foolish and loyal, otherwise your blood will be sprinkled on the battlefield! For thousands of years for ghosts, I have made a long-cherished wish: to fight for righteousness and eradicate the faint kings and ministers of the underworld! ”

I was struck by Shichiro's generous statement. In front of him, it seems that he is not just a ghost, but a saint, a sage, and a god of war!

"What is righteousness?" I humbly asked.

"Freedom as a ghost is righteousness!" Shichiro replied angrily, "Oni are originally human beings, but they have lost their bodies, and their souls are no different from those of living people, and they will think about them day and night, and they can see, speak, hear, and smell. If the yang world is the world of the living, then the underworld should be the world of ghosts. ”

"But the existence of Kedifu deprives ghosts of their power and freedom! Hmph, what reincarnation, it's nice to say! In that reincarnation division, you must be killing ghosts every day, and you are stripping souls every night, where does it matter if you are a good ghost or a bad ghost? Rewarding the good and punishing the evil, those are all lies that deceive people and deceive ghosts! ”

"If ghosts can really be reincarnated and live another life, then why is there more and more people in the yang world, but there are fewer ghosts in the underworld? Since there is an underworld, why are there still so many Yin Cities that use ghosts as slaves, exploit and oppress, drive like livestock, and even treat them as playthings and hold killing games? ”

Shichiro's tone became more and more passionate, his face became more and more iron-blue, and his eyes flashed with red light, obviously he was very angry at this time, as if he hadn't spoken so generously for a long time.

But when you think about it, what he said does make a lot of sense. These are also questions that I have been secretly doubting and puzzled in my heart!

Shichiro continued: "Our ghost army, every time we attack Yin City, we capture the ghost slaves, not to enslave them, but to liberate them!" Most of the soldiers in the ghost army had been oppressed and abused slaves before, which is why they followed me with all their hearts. This is actually the same reason as you rely on unenlisting ghost slaves and co-opting water thieves to gain their loyalty. ”

"My goal is to build a world of hell free from oppression and slavery! Build a peaceful world ruled by demons! And the underworld is the biggest obstacle in front of this goal! If you don't overthrow the underworld, you will never be able to achieve this goal! ”

"I don't hate people, and I don't hate Yin Xiu." Finally, he lowered his voice again and said to me slowly, "Yin cultivation is a messenger who can travel between the two worlds of yin and yang. After my goal is achieved, all the practitioners are welcome to come to the underworld as guests, to do business, and to settle down. Without you, we would not be able to communicate with the living beings of the Yang Realm, and we would even be in the same situation. So your role is vital and indispensable! ”

Admittedly, I'm already starting to be moved by Shichiro's words. His heroic life and the righteousness and grand goals described in his mouth have brought me unprecedented shock!

When I started practicing Yin Gong as a teenager, Master instilled in me the idea that ghosts are the continuation of a person's spirit and desires after death, and that ghosts are actually a phenomenon in which life continues to exist in another form. If the living have power and freedom, why can't ghosts?

And the ghost slave system that I have always hated the most is also the tyrannical system that Shichiro wants to abolish, and the corrupt and tyrannical rule of the underworld is also the rule he wants to overthrow. I empathize with him, and on these two points, I am indeed in line with his ideals and creed!

This is true for ambitious targets as small as immediate threats. The ghost army is the great enemy in the eyes of the underworld, and the harbor that I have worked so hard to establish is also under the threat of the underworld all the time. Since they are all enemies of the underworld, and since they can't be left alone, forming an alliance seems to be the most reasonable choice for the Stygian Harbor and the Ghost Army!

Seeing that I was still hesitating, Qilang said again: "Lord Zhai, are you still doubting my sincerity?" Do you know, my true origin and name have always been a top secret, I only told you and Wu Fang, and I didn't even say Lu Zhidao. King Yama tried every possible means to find out my origin, that is, he wanted to modify my yin longevity through the book of life and death, so that my soul would be scattered. I tell you now, if you don't want to form an alliance with me, you can tell the king of Yama in exchange for the safety of the harbor! ”

This surprised me again, and I thought, "He even put his own life and death in my hands!" ”

"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will leak it to King Yama?" I wondered.

Shichiro replied firmly, "I see people very accurately." You and Wu Fang are both people who are generally and can give up their own interests for the sake of righteousness. So, I trust you absolutely! If, in the future, I find that I really misjudged you and was sold by you, then I am willing to bear the consequences myself! ”

"What about Lu Dao? In order to follow you, he is not even the judge of the Inspectorate of the Prefecture, why don't you tell him? ”

Shichiro sneered at this time and said, "It's just a pure deal between me and him." Once the ghost army can defeat the underworld and rule the underworld, I will set aside half of the territory and give it to him to govern, and let him be an earth emperor in the underground underworld! ”

"You have worked so hard to build the country, and you are willing to give half of it to him?" I immediately expressed disbelief.

Shichiro smiled again and said, "It's okay to let half of it!" But if you want to take it back again, we'll talk about it then! ”

But this made me suspicious and asked, "What about me?" Are you planning to fool me in the same way, and then do that kind of unloading and killing donkeys? ”

"Do you need a lot of territory?" Shichiro didn't answer the rhetorical question.

I shook my head slowly and said, "It's enough for me to have the Stygian Harbor." Besides, I really hope that the underworld can be like the yang world, where all the yin cities can live in peace, and people and ghosts will be equal, and they can live and work in peace and contentment! ”

"That's right!" Shichiro slapped his palms and shouted, "Although you and I are different people, we both have obsessions and beliefs in our hearts. You are not a power-seeking, insatiable person, which is the fundamental reason why I am willing to come to you for cooperation! ”

He stood up again, stretched out a hand towards me, and said very sincerely: "Lord Zhai, don't hesitate, let's fight hand in hand!" ”

I looked at that big firm and powerful hand, and my heart was surging!
