Zombies poured into the courtyard from the street in a steady stream, and the entire door was already old and decaying, and it was already full of loopholes that could withstand the repeated attacks of zombies. The four of them were busy sweating profusely, but they couldn't find any other exit, if they hid in the secret room, although they could avoid it for a while, it was not for long.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the momentum of the zombie attack gradually weakened. Duan Feng looked out through the window, only to see the zombies behind him fall in rows, and then gradually turned into a pile of white bones, Duan Feng fixed his eyes and saw that a group of centipedes crawled out from under the white bones, the centipedes were about a foot long, and the black armor on the top of the head clamped the white bones in half one by one, and there were two rows of long feet on both sides of the body, crawling towards the zombies at a fast speed.

When the four of them looked at it, they knew that it was still difficult for this house to withstand a group of zombies, let alone a group of pervasive centipedes. For now, I can only retreat into the secret room for the time being and make plans. The moment the four of them entered the secret room and closed the stone door, a group of centipedes had already burst into the room, turning to powder everywhere they went.

The four of them listened to the sound of centipedes eating tables, chairs and benches outside the door, and they were inevitably a little flustered, but the matter had come to this point, and they could only hope that the centipedes would retreat on their own when there was nothing to gnaw.

More than two hours passed, and the movement outside did not weaken in the slightest, but fortunately the walls were still quite hard, perhaps because the centipedes did not find them, and everyone's safety was temporarily safe, and everyone wandered around the room boredly.

Duan Feng approached the table, looked at the skeleton in front of him, and said, "Senior, forgive me." Then he reached out and took off the helmet from the skull, taking a closer look.

The helmet is made of platinum from the East China Sea, and the armor is also inlaid with pieces of purple gold, and the whole set of armor is very valuable, "It seems that this person's identity must be very noble." ”

"Maybe he is Su Hongfang. Liu Yuwei replied.

"Maybe. ”

"After the city was broken, Su Hongfang didn't know where to go, could it be that he was hiding here? Why didn't he retreat with the demon army, how could he be trapped and die here?"

"Maybe it's trapped here by something outside. ”

"The question is, how did those things out there get here?"

Liu Yuwei was speechless for a moment when asked, and shrugged helplessly.

"It's a good match for you. Han Qing walked over.

Duan Feng looked at Han Qing and carefully examined the helmet in his hand. Duan Feng felt a chill hit his whole body, and a picture scroll seemed to appear in front of his eyes, but this feeling was suddenly interrupted by Han Qing. Duan Feng raised his helmet and was about to put it on his head.

"What are you doing?" Han Qing grabbed Duan Feng's arm.

Duan Feng smiled, "It's okay." Then he put the helmet on his head, suddenly felt dizzy, leaned back, Han Qing supported Duan Feng, and Liu Yuwei and Su Yanjun also came over. Han Qing helped Duan Feng to sit on the chair, Duan Feng didn't speak, and looked ahead with dull eyes, which made Liu Yuwei and the others anxious. No matter how the three of them shouted, Duan Feng was unmoved.

For a quarter of an hour or so, the three of them waited anxiously, Duan Feng slowly took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was silent. Liu Yuwei grabbed Duan Feng's arm and asked, "Are you okay?"

Duan Feng stood up, walked over to the skeleton, and put his helmet back on the skeleton. Turning to look at the three of them, "It's okay, I just know some truth." ”。

"The truth?" Han Qing asked, "What truth?"

"The truth about the Su brothers' rebellion. ”

After hearing this, the three of them turned their heads to look at their helmets and then at Duan Feng. Duan Feng sat down on the stone steps and told the three of them about the illusion he had just seen.

······

Fifty miles north of Yongding Pass, a fast horse galloped towards Yongding Pass, the comer carried a fast knife on his waist and a blue pocket behind him, which was the standard dress of the herald. In recent days, scouts from the front have reported that there are frequent activities of demon soldiers on the northern border, and Su Hongfang is worried that the border will be lost, so he sent dozens of small teams to patrol the border day and night.

When the herald arrived at Yongding Pass, it was already the third watch, and it was already dark in Yongding Pass at this time, and the residents in the pass had already fallen asleep, and only a few dog barks were heard in the night.

The lantern in front of the Shuaifu swayed in the cold wind, the orange light stood out through the night, and the eight well-trained soldiers at the door lined up on both sides, even though the cold wind was blowing, they stood upright, showing no sign of relaxing.

The herald was soon taken to Su Hongfang's marshal's mansion, Su Hongfang had just fallen asleep, and was hurriedly woken up, a little angry in his heart, he took a bamboo tube from the herald's hand, which contained a letter of relevant information about the demon soldier in front. The letter generally stated that a large number of demon soldiers were secretly assembled sixty miles northwest of Yongding Pass.

Su Hongfang's brows tightened, and he blamed these scouts for not knowing how to do things, this kind of information had already been reported a few days ago, and he had already made arrangements, why did these scouts report it now, and what they said was the same as a few days ago. However, Su Hongfang couldn't reprimand the herald in person, so as not to affect the morale of the army, so he only said that he knew about it and then sent the herald back.

Su Hongfang took a bamboo tube in his hand and looked at it curiously, this bamboo tube is different from the previous bamboo tubes, the whole body is purple, he has never seen purple bamboo, and there are faint patterns engraved on it, and the mouth of the bamboo tube is inlaid with gold wire, showing luxury, he hurriedly returned to the bedroom, thinking: "How did these people do it, using such a luxurious bamboo tube to send a message, it is really a tyrannical thing." Su Hongfang shook the bamboo tube with his hand, "It's quite heavy." ”

Su Hongfang didn't think much about putting the bamboo tube at the head of the bed, and slept as usual, at the fourth watch, a wisp of green smoke came out of the bamboo tube, only to see this green smoke slowly enter Su Hongfang's nostrils, Su Hongfang sneezed, turned over and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Hongfang got up very early and came to the command post of the Shuai Mansion. He ordered the deputy general Su Lie to withdraw the dozens of patrol scouts outside, this order made Su Lie feel a little incomprehensible, now that the demon soldiers were assembled and ready to move, withdrawing the scouts at this time was tantamount to self-destructiveness. But due to Su Hongfang's strong insistence, Su Lie had no choice but to obey orders.

Then Su Hongfang transferred the two armies assembled in the northwest to the north, so that the northwest gate of Yongding Pass was opened, which caused Su Lie's strong vigilance, and he thought to himself how Su Hongfang seemed to have changed a person, the previous deployment was all planned by Su Hongfang himself, which can be said to be seamless, how could he personally veto his decision today, and also open the northwest portal.

As a deputy general, although Su Lie had doubts, he still carried out Su Hongfang's order.

At night, Su Lie led people to sneak into Su Hongfang's mansion and wanted to find out. Through the window, Su Lie saw a sexy girl sitting at the head of Su Hongfang's bed and gently caressing Su Hongfang's forehead, Su Lie thought to himself: "My sister-in-law has passed away for many years, who is this woman? Could it be that the abnormality of the handsome is caused by this woman?"

The woman kept her back to Su Lie, so that Su Lie couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but the woman's sexy and graceful figure would be moved by that man's heart, Su Lie thought to himself. Just as Su Lie was guessing the identity of the woman, he saw the woman gradually turn into a puff of green smoke and burrow into Su Hongfang's nostrils. Su Lie looked at everything that happened with wide eyes, and at this time, Su Hongfang sneezed, and Su Lie hurriedly escaped from the Shuai Mansion.

After escaping from the Shuai Mansion, Su Lie did not go home, but went straight to his master. His master is a well-known local Taoist, known as the Five Elements Taoist, proficient in the art of yin and yang, Su Lie has followed his master to practice martial arts since he was a child, and later joined the army to follow Su Hongfang.

Su Lie told the master what had happened, and the Five Elements Daoist stroked his mustache and said, "Could it be her?"

Su Lie asked, "Who is Master talking about?"

The Five Elements Daoist nodded and said, "It should be her, Dream Spirit." ”

Dream Spirit was originally an earth immortal in charge of the dream affairs of the human race in the heavenly realm, and was later bewitched by the Demon Venerable to help the Demon Venerable attack the Heavenly Realm, after the defeat of the Demon Venerable, the Dream Spirit returned to the Demon Realm with the defeated demon soldiers. Dream Spirit can sneak into people's dreams while they are asleep and control people's thoughts, and Su Hongfang's abnormal behavior is influenced by Dream Spirit.

"So what now?"

"Don't panic, you have your own way for the teacher. ”

The Five Elements Daoist handed a small bottle to Su Lie and instructed Su Lie to let Su Hongfang drink the water in the bottle, so that once the dream spirit came out of Su Hongfang's body, it would no longer be able to enter.

Su Lie took the medicine bottle and left the house of the Five Elements Daoist and came to the command post, and Su Hongfang had already arrived at this time. He gave several unbelievable orders as yesterday, one of which was to demolish the white tower in front of the Shuaifu.

The white tower was built by the people of the Five Elements Dao, at that time Yongding Pass was located in the northern frontier, adjacent to the demon world, and often suffered from the attack of the demon spirits, in order to prevent the commander from being harmed by the demon spirits, the five elements of the Taoist people were entrusted by Su Hongfang to build this town demon tower and the wall at the entrance of the mansion echoed to resist the influence of the demon spirit.

Once the White Tower is destroyed, the demon spirit can directly enter the Shuai Mansion, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In order to delay time, Su Lie took the initiative to take on this task, but Su Lie did not immediately demolish the White Tower, but sent someone to invite Su Hongfang to leave the Shuai's Mansion to inspect the city wall defense.

When Su Hongfang returned to the Shuai Mansion in the evening, Su Lie prevaricated on the grounds that there were too many things and no time to go, so the White Pagoda still stood there.

At night, Su Lie poured the potion into Su Hongfang's supper, and at the fourth watch, a woman's scream came from Su Hongfang's room, the sound was very harsh, and the guards of the Shuai Mansion rushed to surround Su Hongfang's bedroom.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was slammed open, and a puff of green smoke rushed out of the room and hovered over the courtyard. I only heard a woman's voice coming: "Su Hongfang, don't eat and drink when you toast! Then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Suddenly, the courtyard was gradually filled with centipedes, and the centipedes gradually crawled into the courtyard, and the guards fell down one after another, and then turned into a pile of white bones. As soon as Su Lie saw it, he immediately escorted Su Hongfang into the secret room in the command post, and suddenly a flute sounded, and the centipedes stopped attacking and withdrew from the courtyard one after another.

Dream Spirit listened to the sound of the flute, cursed secretly, "Damn!" and then circled over the courtyard a few times, and said, "See how long you can last?" After speaking, Dream Spirit looked at the talisman in his hand and flew towards the north.

The next day, Wei Long, the general of Yongding Pass, sent a light cavalry to rob and kill the envoy sent by the emperor, and then Wei Long hurriedly transferred the northern army to the direction of Yunjian City.

In other words, it was not Su Hongfang who rebelled at that time, but the general Wei Long who pretended to be in the name of Su Hongfang. Su Yanjun said.

"Dream Spirit, to be exact. Duan Feng said.

Looking at the white bones sitting on the chair, Duan Feng sighed: "Poor Su brothers, they are still charged with rebellion until they die. "More than forty years have passed, and even if I know the truth now, I am afraid it will be difficult to comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven.

Liu Yuwei suddenly remembered that Duan Feng said just now that the centipede stopped attacking when it heard a flute, Liu Yuwei hurriedly took off the spirit flute he was wearing, this spirit flute is small and exquisite, he has worn it as an ornament since he was a child, and it may come in handy today.
