Chapter 3: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
The southern suburbs of Xinzheng City, mass graves.
Four corpses with ghosts attached to them were rushing towards this side with a man holding a cane.
Every time they take a step forward, they are accompanied by a tinkling bell, which is terrifying.
"Yin and Yang of the Netherworld, the living beings are scattered."
"Yellow springs are green, and a hundred ghosts are walking at night!"
The ink crow hidden in the distance watched the scene and whispered to himself.
"Hyakki Night Walk? Is there such a thing in the world? Bai Feng, who was squatting next to him, looked at this terrifying scene, and couldn't help but look at Mo Crow and asked curiously.
"Humph! There are enough demons and monsters in this world, and I don't care about one more pretending to be a ghost..."
"Let's see..."
After saying that, Mo Crow jumped up and followed with Bai Feng.
"Wow... Wow..."
Countless crows in the mass grave chirped, adding a bit of weirdness to this already eerie place.
Ji Wuye, who was suspicious of Li Kai's death, not only arranged for a team of soldiers to dig up the grave to confirm it, but also asked hundreds of bird leaders Mo Crow and Bai Feng to secretly follow him.
"This Li Kai has died once, and this time the general wants to confirm whether he is dead!" After digging up Li Kai's tomb, the soldiers surrounded him.
"This corpse matches the disfiguring wounds on Li Kai's face, body shape, and age..."
At this time, a soldier captain stepped forward to uncover the broken straw mat covering Li Kai's corpse and said in a low voice.
"But... Wounds can be faked! Let's find out again... Let's see if there are any other clues. ”
The captain of the soldier was obviously a delicate man, and he checked his appearance and figure, and then commanded the others.
"Captain, look fast! There's also a fatal wound here! ”
After a while, a soldier noticed that the corpse had a fatal wound on the left rib and immediately said to the captain on the side.
"Hmm... This person is not Li Kai! This is the result of the great general to know. ”
The captain of the soldiers nodded, a hint of joy appeared on his face, this time they were considered to have made a great achievement.
"Not Li Kai? So who is this corpse? One of the soldiers wondered
"Let's look again and see if there is anything on him that can confirm his identity." The captain of the soldiers thought for a moment and said to the others.
'Ding...'
At this moment, a faint wind chime sounded.
Hearing this, the crows of the entire mass grave flew up.
"Huh?"
The captain of the soldiers was also frightened by this strange movement, and several of them hurriedly crawled out of the pit and looked around.
"Goo-goo..."
The people who were observing the surroundings were suddenly frightened by a strange sound behind them, and they hurriedly turned around.
"Tricked corpses?"
I saw that Li Kai's corpse, who had just been lying in the grave, appeared behind them at some point, and was rushing towards them at great speed.
"Ahh
"Ahh
This corpse monster was terrifying, and in a few breaths, it killed the entire team of soldiers, including the captain.
'Ding... Ding...'
The wind chimes are getting closer and closer, and a man is carrying a man and appearing in front of the corpse.
The corpse monster stared at the man with twisted eyes, and with a piercing sound of broken bones from his body, he pounced on the man.
Facing the fierce corpse monster, the man calmly raised his right hand and slapped the face of the monster corpse.
"Goo..."
"Click.. Click..."
The corpse let out a low roar and fell to the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard he struggled.
"Even if you want to fight against your master?" Looking at the strange corpse on the ground, the man said contemptuously.
"I gave you your second life." The man approached the monster corpse and found a group of bitten soldiers on the ground, a smile appeared on his face, "This is a gift for me?" Looks pretty good..."
"Flesh to the earth..."
"Qi returns to heaven..."
"Blood to the water..."
"The tendons return to the mountains..."
"Breath turns into an undead... All to the Netherworld..."
"Up!"
The man kept carving runes with a cane in his hand, and with strange steps under his feet, the corpses of the entire mass grave, including the dead soldiers, climbed up as his word 'rise' fell.
"It's... Is this a technique of resurrection? Bai Feng looked at this strange scene and couldn't help but exclaim.
At this time, the man who was manipulating the dead corpse suddenly turned his head to face Bai Feng, and the place where the two crows were smiling evilly.
By the time they came to their senses, they were surrounded by corpses.
"Let's go!"
"It's so weird here. Let's report the situation to the general first..."
Bai Feng and Mo Crow are all masters of light skills, these dead corpses can't stop them at all, and the two of them disappeared into the mass grave in a few dodges.
In a big tree hundreds of miles away from the southern city of Xinzheng, the Baiyue refugees who had been displaced from the Chu State had already built a home of their own in this place.
The Hundred Poison King, who was sitting not far away, was looking at the fire with a puzzled expression, in his heart, his own boss should be a ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Even if you don't kill these untouchables who are willing to succumb to the Han country, you shouldn't take the initiative to help them!
"Dude, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to find such a good place to live. A middle-aged man walked over to the Hundred Poison King, bowed deeply to him, and said with a grateful face.
"This is all arranged by the master..."The Hundred Poison King smiled embarrassedly, according to his own wishes, he would not help this group of homeless people.
The middle-aged man named Meng Kui is the leader of this group of Baiyue refugees, and he is a little curious, what kind of person is the noble person who can make this old brother recognize the lord?
"Mommy, look! My sister over there is so beautiful! And the uncle next to him is so tall... It's huge! ”
The girl's voice was very excited, and everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, only to see three figures walking this way.
The little girl was right, one of them was really as beautiful as a fairy.
And the other two are not like ordinary people, the big man is like an iron tower, taller than the usual two or three adult men tied together.
The other young man who walked in the front should be their leader, he was dressed in black clothes and black armor, and his long black hair was scattered over his shoulders, giving people a sense of mystery flowing from the dust.
"The host..."
Seeing Tian Ze, the Hundred Poison King hurriedly got up and greeted this side.
"Old poison, you're doing a good job."
Tian Ze looked at the cheerful Baiyue homeless people gathered around the fire, they seemed to have made this place their new home.
"Old man, he just did what his master told him, and he didn't dare to ask for credit..."
The Hundred Poison King smiled awkwardly and responded respectfully.
"You're my brother's master?"
I don't know when, Meng Kui also walked over to this side, and he looked at Tianze with an excited face.
Tian Ze nodded at him slightly, and seeing that everyone was surrounding this side, looking at thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him, Tian Ze felt that he should say something.
"Everyone has been exiled from Chu to Korea, and there is no need to say much about the suffering... I'm also a Baiyue like you... At the same time, he is also a slave in the hearts of the Chu people and a lost dog in the hearts of Koreans!
However, I always believe that our Baiyue Congress will stand up again! As the people of Baiyue, you will definitely be able to see this day! ”
Tian Ze's words, with the blessing of his magic, reached the ears of every Baiyue person, causing the surroundings to fall into a dead silence.
Baiyue has been destroyed for ten years, during which everyone has not thought about recovering the country, but the soldiers of Chu are too strong, and their forces gathered by hundreds or thousands of small tribes cannot shake this behemoth at all.
They had to bury this idea in their hearts and be willing to be slaves to the country in the eyes of the world!
And Tian Ze's voice was like a sharp sword, piercing the longing sealed in the depths of their hearts, making them overwhelmed for a moment.
"You... You are the Prince of Tianze! ”
Suddenly, an old voice broke the strange atmosphere, and I saw a white-haired old man looking at Tianze excitedly and said.
"Father, you said he was the Prince of Tianze?"
"That's right, he is Prince Tianze! As the leader of the Mengyue tribe back then, Lao Yu was fortunate to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace, and he would never admit his mistake! ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
All the Baiyue refugees looked at the black-clothed man with an extraordinary bearing in front of them with a blank face.
"Meng Cang, the former leader of the old Mengyue tribe, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
In the shock of everyone, the old man knelt on the ground and saluted Tianze.
"Meng Kui, the leader of the Mengyue tribe, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Seeing that the old chief and the chief were on their knees, they all knelt down with them.
When the Hundred Poison King saw this scene, his expression changed a little, and his gaze at Tianze became more respectful.
The Wushuang ghost smiled, in his heart, whether Tianze was a prisoner or the prince of Baiyue Kingdom, he was his master.
Flame Spirit Ji's expression didn't change much, but her gaze at Tian Ze became softer.
Whether she has experienced the tragedy of the destruction of the country and the death of her family, or the humiliation of being imprisoned as a fish man in the thousand-year-old crystal pond and suffering for the amusement of others, she will never leave Tianze.
Because Flame Spirit Ji fell in love with him a long time ago, although she only had hatred in Tianze's eyes, and she didn't take her to heart from beginning to end, she still didn't forget her feelings for him.
