，

After he said these two words, he rode away on his horse, and Gou Yao always followed behind him. Feng Qingyan stood in place, and the figures of the two gradually drifted away in the snow.

Again, again, again...... Pro.

——

There was no one left in Hezhou City, and the dead were also buried with the help of City Lord Qiu.

Before leaving, Song Shoujiang stood at the gate of the city and looked at the city of Hezhou, where he had lived for more than 20 years, and the voices and smiles of his relatives and friends in the past seemed to appear in front of him again.

They would smile and say to him, "Wei Rong, my family has made a new plum wine, come to my house for a drink another day." ”

The aunt would also take his hand and say earnestly: "Wei Rong, if you are fine, everything will be fine." You're not too young, it's time to find a daughter-in-law......"

Some children in the neighborhood pestered him, pointed to the shop on the side of the street and said, "Uncle Song, I want to eat candy." ”

At this time, the child's father would laugh and say, "Wei Rong, look at this child." Quick, Bao'er, don't pester your Uncle Song, invite him to dinner at home in the evening, and you go tell your mother. ”

The life used to be simple and beautiful, everything in the past is vivid, but after all, with the arrival of the ghost clan not long ago, with the collusion between the city lord of Zhao and the old Taoist of Xuanchen, all this has changed.

"Wei Rong ......"

"Wei Rong, go home for dinner......"

"Song Shoujiang, be careful on the road......"

"Remember to drink......"

There were too many memories in his mind, and Song Shou bent his knees between his legs and knelt down towards Hezhou City.

"This farewell, the soul is separated, and Wei Rong is here to say goodbye to his father and fellow villagers. May you go well. ”

He propped his hands on the ground and bowed his head heavily, carrying with him his endless grief over the death of his loved one.

——

Feng Qingyan has been standing quietly on the cliff alone, and with a slight tilt of his head, he can see the shrunken Hezhou City in the distance, as well as the figure at the gate of the city.

She's waiting for someone, and something should be settled.

The ghost general came over and said to her, "My lord, my people have already made arrangements, and they will not run out randomly according to your requirements." ”

"Hmm." Feng Qingyan responded lightly.

Her attitude was lukewarm, as if she was indifferent to all this, and the ghost general didn't know what to say to her for a while, so she had to care a few words: "My lord, my subordinates heard that Xi Huagongzi said that you are not in good health, this wind is strong, and the weather is cold, let's go back." ”

"Do you feel cold, general?" Feng Qingyan asked him slowly, but he didn't look at him, and he didn't make any movements, just stood like this.

The corners of the ghost general's mouth twitched, and he said: "My lord is really good at laughing, don't you forget that my ghost clan is born cold, and I don't know what hot and cold is." ”

The ghost people are different from the human race after all.

"Yes, the ghost people don't know hot and cold, so they have nothing to fear this winter. But what about the Terrans? She turned her head and looked at him with a cold look in her eyes.

"Terran? What do we have to do with their lives or deaths? We are not like them. "Even if Feng Qingyan asked them to retreat and no longer attack the Terrans, the ghost general would never be able to have a good impression of the Terrans.

Feng Qingyan understands that this is a collision between two peoples, and at the beginning, it cannot be integrated.

She sighed, and then said to him earnestly: "But general, you have to remember that the life of the ghost clan is fate, and the life of the human race is also fate. You have daughters of your own, but the Terrans also have their children. ”

"Your Excellency!" The ghost general was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect her to say such a thing to him, so she was here to wait for him.

"General, do you know, because of the appearance of the ghost clan, the three states of the Netherworld have changed." She looked at him, a gaze that made it impossible for the Ghost General to look at him directly.

"How many wives have been separated and wept all day long in the face of their dead relatives. Also, did you see Song Shoujiang? His family is ruined. ”

Her gaze turned to General Song at the gate of the city, and there was uncontrollable sadness in her tone.

The ghost general looked at her with some incredulity, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"My lord, you are speaking for the Terrans, do you want to say that all this is caused by our ghost clans? Do you know that they never show mercy when they kill my people? ”

The ghost general's tone was still a deep hatred for the human race, he didn't know how she could say this, wasn't she the city lord of their ghost domain?

Why did she go and speak for the Terrans?!

"General, I remember you asked me a question." Feng Qingyan ignored his questioning, her tone was still light, and she said: "When General Song Shou of Hezhou City saw his dead relatives, you asked me, 'Is this the reason why you help the human race' I think after experiencing life and death together, I can answer you now." ”

Speaking of that scene, the ghost general at this moment still had a very complicated feeling in his heart when he recalled it, and he felt the grief in Song Shoujiang's emotions, and that scene was like the ghost clan who died in front of him.

"If the ghost clan is dead, you will grieve, but if the human race dies, his living family will also grieve. If Nuan Zhi died, you would be sad too, right? ”

Feng Qingyan said, with a flick of his sleeves, the scene around him changed in an instant, they stood on the street, but the street that should be lively was cold at the moment.

Someone was at the door of the house, holding the corpse of his dead relatives and crying bitterly, how similar it was to the original Song Shoujiang, and what was the difference between him and the people of the ghost clan.

"My lord, what is the Terran really like?" This problem, the ghost general has never been able to see through, he has seen those cruel people, and he has also seen the insistence of General Song, and the help of the man in black to them.

Which one is the true face of the Terrans?

"In fact, the ghost race is no different from the human race, the human race has good people, just like Song Shoujiang, but the human race also has evil people, just like the old way of Xuanchen. And how can the ghost clan be said to be perfect? ”

The picture turned again, this time they were in a house, and there was a child sitting at the table, and the ghost general recognized it at a glance, it was the child of their ghost clan.

And a woman came out of the chamber with a porcelain bowl in her hand, and in the bowl were two loaves of bread.

She put the porcelain bowl in front of the child, then raised her hand to touch the child's head, and said gently: "The child eats something first, and when you have eaten, Auntie will send you home." ”

The appearance of ordinary ghost people is not much different from that of humans, and the woman does not know that the child is a ghost race.

This warm scene, the ghost general looked sour in his heart, and he said: "But my lord, that child, he died at the hands of the human race in the end. ”

As his words fell, the scene shifted, this time on the street, and it was the woman who was taking the child to take him home, and she was asking the child softly all the way: "Where is your home?" ”

But the child never answered her.

Soon after, two people suddenly came out, and without saying a word, they drew their swords and pointed at the child, saying, "He must be an evil spirit, and the evil spirit on his body is very heavy!" ”

So the child was killed, and the woman was pushed and knocked against a pillar to protect the child.

When he saw this scene, the ghost general even wanted to rush up to save the child, but he couldn't touch anything, he looked at his hand, and said with sadness: "Why do the Terrans have to kill us completely? ”

This is what makes the ghost general the most angry and the most incomprehensible, is it just because they are a ghost clan?

"General, they're just scared."

Feng Qingyan walked over, her hand gently patting him on the shoulder, her voice soft. As soon as he looked up, the scene around them changed again.

They were still in the market, and there were more people, but these people couldn't see or touch them.

There is a ghost man who wanders around the market, probably out of curiosity, he will take away the fun things he sees, which causes the dissatisfaction of others.

The people chased him and asked him to give money, but he didn't give it, or he couldn't understand the language of the Terrans, so the Terrans started to do something against him.

Because he was bullied, he couldn't control himself, so he bit those people, and some of them died directly, and everyone on the street avoided him.

There are many similar situations, because because of his behavior, people are afraid, and the ghost people carry evil spirits, so they are recognized as evil spirits.

And in order to prevent these evil spirits from hurting more people, the Terrans had no choice but to kill them.

"Demons are not tolerated by the world, because they are harmful in the eyes of others."

Feng Qingyan said, and turned his head to look at the ghost general beside him: "General, the human race, like you, has everything they want to protect, but ghosts and humans are equivalent to the two poles of yin and yang, and they can't be blended." ”

As her words fell, all the surrounding markets disappeared, and they returned to the cliff. Everything he had just seen made it difficult for the ghost general's heart to calm down.

He is quite conflicted and complicated inside.

Feng Qingyan took a step forward, Bai Xue was trampled under her feet, and made a heavy sound, she said: "I can't say that the ghost clan is wrong, because it is not your wish to come to this world, you attacked the human race to protect the ghost clan, as the city lord, I can't blame you." ”

"But......" As soon as the words changed, she looked at him again, her eyes sharp and cold.

"If I'm from the Terran side, you're wrong. There is a way that if you don't ask for self-improvement, you are stealing, and in the same way, if you don't ask about yourself, you are stealing. This is the world that belongs to the Terrans, and you trespass without permission, which is a wrong behavior in the eyes of the Terrans. ”

"If a race that poses a threat to the Ghost Domain enters the Ghost Domain, the Ghost Race will also expel it." Every word of Feng Qingyan's face has a magic that cannot be ignored, which is revealed from her eyes.

"General, do you understand?"

This question fell on the ghost general's ears, and his expression became a little sad for a moment, and he pointed to himself and told her about his pain:

"But my lord, we don't want to be here, but we can't stop it from happening. In this world, we are not accepted, we are alone, and we ghost people only have each other. ”

Feng Qingyan raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed softly: "General, I know, but the war will only make more ghost people die, since we only have each other, then we should cherish each other even more." And the human race, how is this not the case? ”

"Isn't there anything wrong with the Terrans?" The ghost general raised his eyes and looked directly at her, still unwilling in his heart.

"Yes." She replied, "There are also mistakes in the human race, just like the old Taoist Xuanchen wants to devour the army of the ghost clan and destroy the people of a city for selfishness. There are also some people who kill indiscriminately in black and white......"

Her last sentence reminded the ghost general of that child, who had obviously never done anything, and the reason why he died was only because he was a ghost clan.

"General, there is a sentence in the Buddhist "Nirvana Sutra", which is called 'The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow; Three generations of cause and effect, the cycle is not lost'. When a person dies as a ghost, he can be reincarnated if he re-enters reincarnation, and as for the fate after reincarnation, it may be the answer to this sentence 'retribution of good and evil'. ”

"Good and evil, retribution......" The ghost general muttered to himself, as a ghost clan, he didn't actually know what Buddhist scriptures were, but it was the first time he had heard this.

"Think about City Lord Zhao, do you say he is really a heinous villain? He was dedicated to the country, but he got such an end, and he was unwilling, so over time this obsession was formed. ”

Feng Qingyan turned to look at Hezhou City in the distance, and took a step forward, his voice spreading with the cold wind.

"Maybe from his point of view, he is worthy of pity, but he harmed the people of a city, from the perspective of Song Shoujiang, he is difficult to apologize for."

After talking for a long time, the ghost general finally gradually understood that the city lord hoped that he could let go of his prejudices against the human race, for the sake of the human race, but also for the ghost race.

He asked softly, "But the enmity of the city lord of Zhao, is it just that?" Those who hurt him ......"

"General, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, and people will eventually have to pay the price for their actions."

With a sigh, she muttered, "Although this belated justice is cheaper than grass. ”

The ghost general lowered his eyebrows, he understood what the city lord said, and he began to think carefully about everything he had done since he came to this secluded realm.

Bit by bit, vividly, their arrival has really caused too much impact on this world.

"Actually, having said all this, I think the person who is most wrong in this matter is me." While the ghost general was still remembering, Feng Qingyan suddenly spoke, with deep self-reproach in her tone, and she said: "Everything is that I am sorry for you, and I am sorry for the many people who died. ”

The ghost general was taken aback, and hurriedly comforted: "My lord, you are not wrong, you are not wrong in this matter, the fault lies with your subordinates, if your subordinates could have taken a good look at them and didn't let them run out, it wouldn't have been like this." ”

His lord of the city should have been high, he was reluctant to let her be wronged, and he didn't want to see her take the responsibility on himself, obviously she was not wrong.

She can protect the ghost clan and sincerely think about the ghost clan, which is enough.

His lord, he should not fall into the mortal dust.

"No, General, it's my fault." Feng Qingyan stared at him and retorted resolutely, the determined look on his face did not look like he was joking.

"My lord, I don't understand." The ghost general shook his head slightly, a little unable to see through her.

"I was wrong that I shouldn't have come to this world, that I shouldn't have gone against the sky, and that I wanted to be a human being in the world. I should stay in the Nine Hells and never enter the world. ”
