Kyoto Long'an Castle, the time is approaching.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!"

"The water tank is full, and the stove is clear!"

……

Gu Heyang deliberately opened his throat and shouted, looking extremely reluctant to wake up all the people along the street. This road made the chickens and dogs restless, and sure enough, one by one the houses along the street pushed open the windows and scolded: "The one who fights the shift is called the soul!" ”

"Call! What is it called! Dead in the house! ”

"Fuck, still don't let people sleep?!"

Gu Heyang raised his head and said loudly: "Look at who is noisy again, I will go in and check the fire candle and check the water tank!" ”

Kyoto's latest waterproof fire prevention requirements, every household must extinguish the candle fire at night, fill the water tank, if there is not extinguishing the candle flame fine copper coin ten plates, the water tank is not satisfied with the ten plates, the yard is not posted disaster prevention words, plus ten plates!

The portals were closed in an instant, and there was no further noise.

Gu Heyang was dissatisfied: "Why do we wear Jin Wuwei's clothes to patrol here?" This fully armed, hot old man is about to give birth to prickly heat. ”

Qi Hao smiled: "Have you heard of which dynasty and which generation of academy students came out to patrol the night?" We're also on orders, so you don't care so much. ”

"It's so mysterious, I really don't know what I want to do?"

Gu Heyang looked back at Qi Hao as he spoke, and suddenly asked, "Qi Hao, why do you insist on entering the academy?" ”

Qi Hao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's the seventh-story building of the academy, what's the use of you asking about this." ”

Gu Heyang said: "I've been in charge of a few floors first, I heard that there have never been students on the seventh floor, aren't you tossing in vain?" ”

Qi Hao wanted to speak and stopped, how could the secret in his heart be understood by ordinary people. He whispered, "Forget it, don't talk about this, I'm a little tired, let's go around again and find a place to rest." He turned his head to look at the great city gate not far away, which had long since been closed.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

After a long time, Qi Hao suddenly stopped, raised his head and asked, "Gu Heyang, have you heard of a legend?" ”

"What legend?"

"A legend about this place."

Qi Hao said slowly: "This street is called Suzaku Street, in front of which is the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City, when Emperor Jingwen was in power, one night, seven military horses carrying secret military information came in from the Qianding Gate on the opposite side, and went straight to the Suzaku Gate, but these seven people walked halfway, and were suddenly ambushed by the killer who was ambushed here, and the seven soldiers were soon all killed, and the killer buried these people in the city wall that had been hollowed out overnight, but changed into the other party's clothes and entered the city, waiting for the last secret order to kill Emperor Jingwen! However, Emperor Jingwen was not destined to die, and with the help of several of his Deadpools, he successfully escaped, and has not been seen since, but the souls of those soldiers who died unjustly were buried in the city wall and could not be killed, and the anger was difficult to eliminate. Later, a group of wild dogs entered the city wall, and under the guidance of the unjust spirits, gnawed off the bones of these people, and the souls of these people took the opportunity to live on the bodies of wild dogs and turned into the legendary dog-faced Yin soldiers! As long as it is late at night, they will turn into cold and terrifying canine soldiers to break through the city, parade back and forth in this imperial city, if they encounter the living, they will kill them, and harvest their souls and bring them back to the stone wall, so that these people will never be reincarnated! ”

Qi Hao is talking about the coup d'état when Dugu Jin killed his brother and seized the throne, when Dugu Jin raised troops into Long'an City as the emperor's younger brother and seized the imperial power, which frightened the weak Emperor Jingwen to abandon the palace and flee, and he has not been found until now. And the seven killers allude to the seven people who entered the palace to perform a secret mission back then, as for the dog-faced Yin soldiers in the back, it is said that there is no child, this story is half-true and half-false, and it also alludes to the improper way of Dugu Jin to seize the throne.

Qi Hao has always been cautious, but he doesn't know why he suddenly talked about it, and Gu Heyang naturally knows the stakes of it. He was about to warn Qi Hao that it was best not to talk nonsense, but before he could say this, his eyes suddenly widened, one pointed forward, and shouted: "Ah, Qi Hao, you, ...... behind you"

Qi Hao hurriedly looked back, but saw that under the cold moonlight, bursts of blue-white mist surged under the city wall at some point, and the moonlight reflected the ghostly light through the fog, exuding a terrifying cold air, and the entire street instantly turned into a netherworld.

The fog cleared, and the sound of horses' hooves began to be heard from far and near.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But behind this mist is a thick city wall, and there is no military horse in front of him, but where does the sound of horses' hooves come from?

The sound is getting closer and closer, and it is especially harsh in the silence of the night!

Qi Hao shook his head: "Impossible, this can't be true!" ”

Gu Heyang said: "Could it be...... We've been hit by the proverbial Soul Eater incense again? ”

"It's even more impossible, the poison of the Soul Devouring Incense has long been resolved."

"Could it be ......" Gu Heyang thought for a moment and said: "Could it be the gap in the city wall, collecting the sound of reflecting both sides, this sound is actually the sound of the horse team passing by during the day, but now it has been released!" Gu Heyang, who is the representative of the kindergarten physics class, analyzed the source of this sound reasonably, but Qi Hao was a little suspicious, he calmed down, picked up the lantern with one hand, and moved forward, he wanted to confirm whether the sound came from within the city wall.

The sound grew louder and closer, as if it were close at hand.

The only thing that was empty in front of him was the city wall, Qi Hao thought to himself that this sound really came from the wall, it seemed that Gu Heyang was right, this city wall could really reflect the sound. He just sighed, and then the change in the scene in front of him quickly made him tense, and the fog around him suddenly rolled up, and black shadows swept quickly on the city wall, this light and shadow changed suddenly and strangely, and then four black shadows wearing broken robes suddenly broke through the fog, and the black shadows rose in the air, holding three strange lanterns spliced together from human skins, flying in the air like kites. The three human skins were as white as paper, but they revealed a trace of dark red blood, and a sharp voice sounded: "The dog god aisle, why don't the living people avoid it?!" ”

In the mist, a two-person tall black war horse stepped out, and on this horse sat a white-faced general dressed in black robes and wearing cyan armor. This general, with a miserable white face like powder, dark and bean-like eyes, a long face and long beard, a pointed mouth and fangs, five blue and black flags on his back, wearing a set of iron and green beast armor, and holding a vermilion treasure box in his hand, is condescending in the fog like a yin general.
