Chapter 211: Could there really be a ghost?

Outside the Great Liang Pass, the rising red sun shone on the neat armor, reflecting the dazzling golden light.

With 500 border troops opening the way, the whole team became stronger, and the Kang Brigade rate reversed yesterday's gloom, and seemed to be very attentive to Lin Yan.

personally brought fifty personal soldiers, followed Lin Yan for personal protection, and took the initiative to introduce him to the situation of the trip.

"The Hanhai Desert is the largest desert in the northwest, and we just cross it from its edge, and under normal circumstances, we can reach it in ten days......"

Three days after entering the desert, the scenery in front of me is already boundless yellow sand, empty, sparse, and with an indescribable sadness.

It's not summer, but the desert afternoon is still hot, making you thirsty and anxious.

So the itinerary was automatically adjusted to one morning and one night, and at noon, I hid behind the sandcastle to rest and make up for sleep.

Because of the fear of a sand bandit attack, Kang Brigade adjusted the team.

Two hundred soldiers in front opened the way, one hundred soldiers in the back were at the end of the hall, and fifty of the remaining two hundred people were on Lin Yan's side.

The remaining 150 people are on the move, providing immediate support whenever there is a problem.

In this way, another three or four days passed, and the monotonous scenery in the field of vision, and the harsh climate in the desert, made everyone tired.

Although Sof's health was much better than before, it was still not as good as the others, and although she was sitting in the carriage, she was also sore from the jolting.

Lin Yan was very distressed, so he simply let her sit on a camel and sway, but it was much more comfortable than in the carriage.

It's just that in this way, it slows down the trip.

In the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed in the desert, and strange pale yellow clouds rolled in the air, which looked very strange.

Iron Pillar has been walking this road all year round, and there is an old guide in his caravan who is worried about this scene.

"The Hanhai desert in spring is severely windy and sandy, looking at this way, I'm afraid there will be a big storm in the middle of the night."

There were also soldiers in the army led by the Kang Brigade who were familiar with the desert climate, and immediately asked Lin Yan for instructions on whether to quickly find a place to shelter from the wind.

Two miles and one combined, the closest shelter to this place is the surrendered city.

The crowd immediately picked up speed and headed towards that side overnight, hoping to arrive before the storm came.

For this reason, Sov also changed to horseback riding, so as not to delay everyone's time.

The so-called surrendered city, in fact, is a piece of wind and sand naturally eroded into the earth fort, according to legend, when the Great Liang opened the country, and the Hu people in the north fought a vicious battle here.

In the end, it was a great victory, and this place became the place where it was surrendered at that time.

Before midnight, they finally arrived at the surrendered city, and the wind in the desert was gradually raging.

Fortunately, they were all experienced, and they covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels so as not to be poured into the yellow sand.

The torches had all been blown out, but strangely, the sight was not as dark as Sov had imagined.

The faint earthen fort looks eerie in the yellow sand flying in the sky, like a group of monsters who are about to choose people to devour.

Before the storm officially came, they all safely entered the surrendered city, and Kang Lu led to find a relatively flat open space, and everyone quickly hid inside.

Soon, the wind outside became louder, and the howling wind swept through the earthen fort, making a shrill whistling sound like a ghost's cry.

In the dark night, it sounded creepy, and even the brave soldiers were a little panicked.

"Why do I think the yin qi here is so heavy, weird."

A few soldiers on the periphery whispered, and the veteran who was familiar with the desert sighed and mysteriously lowered his voice.

"I heard that this surrendered city buried all the Hu people's surrendered soldiers alive here, that's more than 100,000 people, if it's daytime, you can see that the ground here is red."

As he spoke, he sighed, "It's all red with blood." "Pippi Reading.com

The people around were shocked when they heard this, and soon a group of people gathered around.

"The ghosts of these 100,000 troops are not gone, it is said that every time there is a wind and sand day, they come out to make trouble, and many people in the desert are so unknown and unclear."

He said it vividly, coupled with the terrible environment of the yin wind and angry roar and the ghost shadow pupils, the listeners were all terrified.

"Oh my God, what can we do, will we be eaten by these Yin soldiers?"

The less timid ones were about to cry, although they were all soldiers, most of them had never been on the battlefield, and they believed in ghosts and gods.

In a short time, this terrible news spread rapidly among the crowd, and even the caravan people heard about it.

Su Fu frowned uneasily, she naturally knew that this ghost cry was caused by the complex terrain and air convection in the earthen fort.

But these words can't be explained to the ancients.

"Could there really be a ghost?"

A subordinate official from the capital also changed his face and asked tremblingly.

Lin Yan sneered, "Whether there are ghosts or not, I only know that living people are always more terrifying than ghosts." ”

"Pass the order, be careful tonight, and the caravan and guards will take turns on duty."

In the darkness, the eyes of both men sparkled, and they had realized that the atmosphere was unusual.

This atmosphere of fear continues to spread, and it is difficult to say whether the 500 border troops outside will go crazy or riot.

Sov thought about it, and always felt that there was something wrong with the veteran.

"Go, call the veteran who knows the way, and say I'm going to ask him something."

Soon, the old soldier who was covered in obscenity was brought over.

"Let me ask you, did you just say that 100,000 surrendered soldiers were killed in this surrendered city, and there were ghosts and ghosts eating people in it?"

Su Fu asked directly in a cold voice.

"It's just boring, it's just a legend, and no one will take it seriously, right?"

The man was very slick and immediately nodded and explained.

"Oh? Are you very proud to see that someone believes it? ”

Su Fu knew that this was not the time for interrogation, and he didn't bother to distinguish with him, so he slapped his face, and several pre-arranged caravan guys immediately swarmed up.

Before he could let out a loud roar, he was restrained, and he was gagged in three or two strokes, tied up strongly, and threw him into the gap of the earthen fort.

In the second half of the night, although the wind outside was still fierce, the exhausted people still fell asleep.

At the outermost periphery, the soldiers in charge of the guard patrol, lit torches in the leeward and silently huddled together.

In such a deserted place, there is actually nothing to patrol, but it is true that they gather together to be brave.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers' eyes widened in shock, looking straight ahead, and he was speechless for a long time.

The person next to him noticed his strange appearance and immediately turned his head to look over.

"Ahh There are ghosts! ”

A terrible scream that did not look like a living person resounded in the sky, and those who were suddenly awakened were terrified to find it.

They were surrounded by a group of strange demons.

These goblins were covered in blood, and many of them were dragging stumps and broken arms, and their mouths were emitting all kinds of strange cries.

Their accents are very strange, and they vaguely hear words that seem to be "give me back my life".

The earth fort exploded immediately, and the soldiers stumbled around and fled, one by one hating their father and mother for missing two pairs of legs.
