Chinese She looked at the sky, the moon was in the sky at the moment, and the moonlight was afraid on the dirt road on the outskirts of the city.

It stands to reason that in Liji's line, in addition to the two carriages, there are also several maids who accompany the waiting, and she can also feel the presence of the team in the busy city, but at this moment, except for the silence of the night, she only hears the sound of the wind.

What about Regitte's carriage? What about those retinues? It seems to be gone! At this moment, the shadows of the trees on both sides of the dirt road were dense, and she subconsciously retracted her gaze, and she couldn't help but shiver, quickly lowered the curtain, and leaned back tremblingly.

Shen Ru's drunkenness was also almost awakened by the cold, and seeing that Li'er's action of closing the curtain was very strange, he hurriedly asked

"What's wrong, Li'er?" Li'er's delicate body leaned against the corner of the carriage and trembled

"Groom...... There is no shadow of that groom! "The moonlight shines so clearly on the shadows of the trees in the distance, but I can't see the shadow of the groom in the distance!

When Shen Rugu heard this, his heart was furious,

"You shouldn't have seen it clearly, right? How can man not have a shadow? "Yes, how can a man not have a shadow?

As soon as he said this, his heart was in his heart

"Cluck, cluck, cluck" jumped up. In order to find out, I had the courage to step forward and open the curtain to take a closer look.

I saw that the groom was dressed in a black cotton linen shirt and trousers, and his hair was thinning on his head, and he had a hair ball on top of his head, and he also held a horsewhip in his hand, and from time to time he waved his horse so that the carriage could go on.

There is indeed no shadow under him, and what is even more strange is that the horsewhip has a shadow, but the shadow is not pulled by any object, but it keeps moving!

His heart was pounding, and his mind was in turmoil! The groom is not a human, it is a ghost, the ghost is driving the carriage, where is he going to take them?

Pian Er wrapped her arms around him in fear and cried

"Childe, what should I do? Li'er is so scared......" Shen Rugu swallowed his saliva, it is understandable that Li'er is so delicate, but he is a man, although he is also afraid, he comforts.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this son will protect you!"

"What should we do then, son, how can we go back?" At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Both of them were shocked, and Li'er hid behind him for the first time.

Shen Rugu was also scared to death, staring at the curtain of the car motionlessly.

"I crossed the bridge, walked on the yin road, dreamed of Shaohua, and the dream was not long...... Childe, the place is here......" There was a deep voice from the horseman outside, and Shen Ru was so frightened that he trembled and didn't dare to respond.

Li'er covered her mouth even more, tears falling straight down. In this way, they hid in the carriage for a few moments, and there was no sound outside.

He also knew that it was not a way to hide all the time, so he mustered up all the courage and carefully lifted the curtain again.

"Whew~" A cold wind blew in, and it carried sand, blinding both of them. He rubbed it a few times in a panic, and struggled to open his eyes to look outside.

The night was still the same night, but it was shrouded in an eerie silence, which was very unsettling. The groom is gone!

He didn't know, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and turned back to Li'er

"Ben Gongzi...... Go out and take a look......" Li'er didn't dare to stay in the carriage alone, she clutched Shen Rugu's robe sleeve tightly and said

"I ...... I'm with Childe. They came out of the carriage one after the other, and found it parked in front of a lake that was as calm as a mirror, and there was a mist of water around it, as if it had entered another dimension.

However, when he saw that there was no groom ahead, his panic was much calmer.

"He's gone, he's gone!" Li'er whispered, and could hear it, and was as relieved as he was. He turned to look behind him again, and at one glance, he saw that his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground in a panic!

"Ahh Li'er also turned around, screaming in fright. I saw that behind their carriage, I don't know when, stood densely

"People"! There is nothing special about the clothes that those people wear, they are all worn by ordinary people, but the style is not the mainstream nowadays, it seems to be decades ago!

And the reason why Li'er screamed was because she saw only the reflection of the two of them and the carriage on the surface of the lake, but there were no dense people!

"Li'er...... They don't have a reflection, they don't have a reflection! They're ghosts! Fear took over him, so he kept repeating the same sentence.

Where have I seen a ghost, I heard him say

When the word "ghost" is spoken, he has passed out! Shen Rugu looked at the dense ghost shadow in front of him, and wanted to faint, but he was not as weak as he imagined, so he could only watch the terrifying picture of the ghost and tremble!

At this moment, his mind was blank, he didn't know what to do, he just wanted to escape! But escape?

Where to flee? His legs were so weak that he couldn't exert even the slightest strength. The ghosts stood still at first, but now they all spotted him, and they all walked towards him.

The speed at which the ghosts approached was not fast, that slow speed, but it polished all the will of the people!

"Help!" Shen Ru didn't know what to do, while asking for help, he sat on the ground in embarrassment and shrank back, the chic appearance at the previous banquet had already disappeared in this ghost!

"Don't come here...... Stay back!! He grabbed the dirt on the ground and threw it at the approaching group of ghosts, but to no avail.

"Spirit...... I want a spirit......" All the ghosts repeated this sentence, and Shen Ruyu didn't know what the 'spirit' was, but felt a little familiar.

Just when he was in despair, he suddenly heard a woman's cold voice.

"Langui Bay, the River of Grievances, the eighteenth layer of Hell through the River, the layers of purgatory souls are not left, the son originally came from that river, people and ghosts are everywhere, why did he fall here?" Shen Ruyu felt very familiar just by listening to this voice, he raised his eyes, and saw that the ghosts who were originally approaching him all stopped, as if they had also heard the woman's voice.

Not long after, a special red light appeared in the ghost group, and a woman held a red spirit flower, walking towards this side step by step, and the ghost group was afraid of the spirit flower in her hand, and they all made a way to let her move forward.

"Nanzhao! Nanzhao! Shen Rugu shouted her name in fear. Nan Zhao naturally heard it, and she soon came to Shen Ru's body.

She glanced first at the stained robe he was sitting on the ground, then at his terrified face, frowning slightly.

Once upon a time, there was also a woman who was chased by a hundred ghosts in such a treacherous night, and died with no place to be buried.

The instinct to run for her life and survive made her struggle and hesitate in despair...... That fairy-like man, just like she came slowly at this moment, he made a hundred ghosts awe-inspiring and discouraged!

She still remembers that night, the cold moon was cold, and how many expectations it carried. And that man, on that night, became all the entrustment of her life.

But this time is unpredictable, cause and effect are endless, she never imagined that one day, that scene would be repeated, but they swapped roles.

When she saw Shen Ru's embarrassment and panic, she was really heartbroken. This was the person she sheltered, how did it become like this?

"I told you earlier, for you to revive the soul, I used two spirits, and at this moment those two spirits are in your body, they are powerful, and they are the things that all demons and evil things want." With tears in her eyes, she crouched down in front of him, and said in the tone in which he had spoken to her that night

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but you can see clearly, these ghosts in the dark are looking at you, the night is long, you are alone, how do you spend it?"

"I ...... Am I not having you? Shen replied in a panic. Nan Zhao smiled bitterly,

"Childe doesn't think I'm just lying to you?" He shook his head,

"No, you didn't lie to me, you see, they're all afraid of you!"

"yes, they're all afraid of me!" She opened her right hand, letting the red aura permeate her palm, and said abruptly

"But you don't know that they also fed me, and there was a man who taught me how to be strong and become their god, the spirit woman—" That man, right in front of him, but he didn't remember anything!

Shen Rugu had already forgotten what he had said in the early morning, he had been frail and sick since he was a child, and he dreamed of having a healthy day, being able to live freely in the yang world, and survival was the first, he glanced at those ghosts, and nodded again and again to answer

"I was wrong, I won't go anywhere in the future, I'll be with you! Get those things out of the way! Go away! Nan Zhao knew that after nightfall, Shen Ru, who had a spiritual spirit, would be remembered by ghosts, so after knowing that he was going to go with Liji, she didn't force it, she had her own way to let him come back obediently.

And this method also comes from Shen Ru. She did what he had done to make her stay by her side...... She originally wanted Shen Rugu to always be a happy son, who didn't know the hardships and dangers of the world, but now, she had to take the initiative to lure a hundred ghosts to come and let him see the darkness of this world.

Hearing that he promised not to leave again, Nan Zhao should have been happy, but her face was sad. It's just because he is willing to stay, just because he wants to live, not because they once had a vow of life and death.

And what made her even more sad was that she remembered that when Shen Rugu said those words to her, his indifferent look, she always complained, she couldn't understand what he was thinking about, and it wasn't until this moment that she suddenly understood his state of mind at that time, it turned out ...... It's so sad!

She didn't want to show her sadness, so she slowly got up and silently recited the Spirit Flower Mantra. The hundred ghosts were guided by her spirit flower, and she sent them away at this moment.

The spirit flower spell stopped, and the hundred ghosts retreated! The surroundings were calm again, but this calm was different from before. Shen Rugu hadn't come out of his fear, he followed Nan Zhao suspiciously, glanced at the woman on the ground called Li'er, and didn't know how to deal with it, if it was before, he had his own opinions, but now he was afraid of Nan Zhao and didn't dare to speak.

"Her life and death have nothing to do with me!"

"But ......" Shen Ru finally felt that it was really inappropriate to throw a weak woman on the shore of a lake on the outskirts of the city.

Nan Zhao did not change his mind

"Childe, you are very good at pitying fragrant jade!" The other party naturally heard that he was mocking him, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry if you're upset that Liki gave her to me, I won't let her stay with me!"

"Childe thinks too much!" Somehow, instead of calling him 'as before', now, she finds it particularly convenient to call him 'Childe,' she said

"It's not that I don't mind that she's a plaything given to you by someone else, but she's a pawn that Liji used to deal with me, an enemy, even if you don't have to do it yourself, don't keep a little mercy!" She said briskly, looked at him again, and asked

"Childe, do you know, who taught me this?"

"How would I know!" Shen Rugu cautiously looked at the night, for fear that those ghosts would come back to him.

Nan Zhao did not continue. Because that person was right in front of her, but so far away from her. They drove the carriage back to Yunzhou City, and rounded with Xunlong and his party, and arrived at the Guogong Mansion in the middle of the night.

Shen Ru was full of bad luck, and after arriving, she sent the maid to fetch water to clean her voice, but Nan Zhao did not relax, she still remembered that today in Chaohua Building, her ninth brother left in a hurry, if it wasn't for something big, it would never be like this.

After asking Xunlong, I learned that her ninth brother had not returned to the house, and Xunlong only knew that the master was urgently summoned by the emperor, and the rest was unknown.

When she went back alone, she felt that there was a person standing in the courtyard, and there was no night light there, and it was dark.

However, she did not show vigilance, because she could already smell the breath of the other party.

"Little Taoist, how did you come back late at night?" Lu Donglai slowly walked out from under the tree, whether it was day or night, he was always like a breeze, which made people's eyes bright.

"Poor Daoben was guarding the monument at the gate of life and death, but at night, he suddenly saw a heavy gathering of ghost qi in the east, so he rushed to check—" She listened calmly and did not answer.

Continue to say about convenience

"I thought it was something big coming out of the door of life and death, but it turned out that you did it!"

"It's me!" She replied lightly

"If it weren't for that, how would I know where he was, I have to do it!" She believed that Lu Donglai understood, otherwise he would have stopped it a long time ago!

But this is not the reason why Lu Donglai came back specifically, he asked her

"At the beginning, why were the warlocks of the Maoshan faction abandoned by the Xuanmen of the world, that is, they used magic to harm others and themselves, and became friends with evil spirits, and now, what is the difference between you wantonly leading the ghosts and those Maoshan warlocks?"

"Is the Xuanmen of the world the sky, and there is no time when they are wrong?" Nan Zhao had a resentment in his heart, which came from the fact that the predecessors of the Dao Sect at the beginning had a prophecy that would sentence her to life and death!

Since then, she has not believed in authority or faction, she has only believed in herself, emphasized

"I led the group of ghosts, but I didn't hurt anyone!"

"It's light!" Lu Donglai talked a lot

"With your ability at the moment, you can indeed easily attract a group of ghosts, but have you ever thought about how powerful the ghost qi gathered by the group of ghosts is, if someone else dares to approach at that time, or even without approaching, they will die immediately!" Nan Zhao naturally thought about it, so she lured the ghosts to a remote place on the outskirts of the city.

But in Lu Donglai's eyes, these are far from enough, the way that this Taoist priest believes in is black and white, and things that violate the righteous path must not be violated!

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Donglai said again

"Even if you lead a hundred ghosts to scare Shen Rugu today and force him to stay by your side, but he is no longer the same Shen Rugu after all, how long can you stay?" Nan Zhao replied

"No matter how long it takes, I believe that one day, he will really stay with me!" The other party saw the obsession in her eyes, her eyebrows tightened slightly, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she swallowed it all into her throat, and before leaving, he said to her

"The day after tomorrow is the Bodhi Temple, this year is very lively, almost all the people from the Xuanmen have come, and there are several surrounding countries have sent envoys!" What he focused on is the envoy group of these countries, today's Kyushu Fenle, Jin, Yan, Hong four countries, Yan is the four countries, the most extensive territory, the richest, so for several generations, it deserves to be the first of the four countries, Yan and the south of the country are close to each other, each generation almost has a relationship matter, so the generations are good, there is little friction, the Jin country is also close to the Yan country, although the national strength is not as rich as the Yan country, but the Jin people are aggressive and good at fighting, internal and external fighting are constant, for decades, although there has been no major war, but there are often wars on the border of Yunzhou, Therefore, there is an old saying in the royal family of Yanguo, Jin Kingdom is a wolf that can't be fed!

As long as it is hungry, it will swing into the Yan country, all the way to rob the people of the Yan country, not only that, once it causes a disaster in its own country, it will send a large number of refugees into the Yan country, the Yan country mostly governs the country with benevolence, can not kill these refugees who pour into the country, it will cause chaos in its own border cities, at this time, the army of the Yan country is usually ready to move, the Yan country does not want to fight with this evil wolf, so it will send a messenger to negotiate with the Jin country, the usual method of the Jin country is to cry poor, to ask him to take back his own people, he needs money, A lot of money can make the people return to their hometowns to live and work in peace and contentment, right?

Yan Guo had no choice but to spend money again and again to eliminate the disaster, and not long ago, Yan Guo sent a large amount of finance to Jin Guo, which temporarily improved the current situation of the refugees in Wucheng.

Bodhi Temple, as a thousand-year-old temple, is famous in Shikoku, but it belongs to the Yan country, so every year Bodhi is only the Yan country royal family will send a relative of the emperor to sit in the town, and the emperor himself also comes, but not every year.

But this year's Bodhi is different, not only the emperor of the Yan Kingdom came, but the other three countries and even other surrounding Fanbang tribes also sent delegations to pay homage, so Lu Donglai sighed that it was very lively.

Nan Zhao has been thinking about Shen Ru's soul in recent days, and she doesn't particularly care about Bodhi, so she also listened indifferently when Lu Donglai mentioned it.

Lu Donglai asked curiously

"Little Spirit Girl, don't you want to know why the surrounding countries have sent envoys to worship so tacitly?"

"Since you know everything, you can just say it!" Nan Zhao didn't have much leisure to listen to him. The other party spit out a sigh of resentment, and felt that it was boring to talk to her, if it wasn't for this matter that had to be said, he would fly up to the roof, so as not to talk nonsense with her.

"You mean!" Nan Zhao urged. Lu Donglai put away all his grievances and said coldly

"You have also been to the Bodhi Temple, you have also been to the Bodhi Pagoda, and you have also seen the Xuyun Master who guards the tower, you should know what the original intention of this grand Bodhi is, right?" Of course she already knew.

"The Bodhi Pagoda can look at the Gate of Life and Death, Fairy Mountain, Master Xuyun guards the Bodhi Pagoda, and the responsibility of the Yunzhou Army to guard the prison monument is complementary to each other, so I guess that the original intention of the Bodhi Dharma to pray for the blessings of all the people also comes from the Gate of Life and Death!" Lu Donglai nodded,

"Yes, hundreds of years ago, the biggest battle of life and death took place in Yunzhou, among the masters who set up the prison monument, there are three of them in the Bodhi Temple, they do Bodhi to pray for the common people in this world, it is the righteousness of the avenue!" His tone was excited, the first sentence seemed to be able to immediately fly to the sky and ascend to immortals, but the latter sentence sighed

"But the predecessors of the past could save the common people with their own lives, but today's people are continuing to save the common people in the name of doing their own selfish desires......"

"How so?" Nan Zhao looked sideways. He took a deep breath and looked at the night.

"When I went down the mountain, Master told me that soon the world will be in turmoil, the stars and palaces will be chaotic, and the demon stars will appear! This prophecy is quietly coming, and the people in the Xuanmen are coming one after another, and they are saving the lives of cultivators, and there are many warlocks who want to get out here, and among the royal families of those countries, there is also a prophecy of the spirit! ”

"What prophecy?" She asked curiously.

"The world of Kyushu, divided for a long time must be divided for a long time, the era of the four kingdoms has been maintained for hundreds of years, and the fable is that at the last Bodhi Festival before the troubled times, there will be a real king!" A true king!

Nan Zhao immediately understood that the reason why the countries wanted to send envoys at this juncture was because they believed that they would be the next king to unify Kyushu, so they all came to find out the truth.

Because the door of life and death must be the origin of all this outbreak, although the four countries seem to be in harmony at the moment, but in fact, the battle has begun!

"Brother Jiu's sudden departure today is not related to this incident?" Lu Dong replied

"It should be that there is something wrong with Emperor Yan, at the latest, there will be news, don't worry, go back and rest first, you will be busy in the past two days!" Nan Zhao didn't ask any more, the two said goodbye, she returned to the room, Shen Rugu had already fallen asleep, looking at him was not sleeping peacefully, she sighed softly, and reached out to touch the face.

Now, in addition to this face, she can't find the person she loves from this person!

"When...... When...... Will you really come back? Like old friends? Shen Rugu suddenly grabbed her hand with one hand and exclaimed

"Don't come here! Stay back! Nan Zhao knew that he was having a nightmare, so he immediately leaned over, reached out to hug him, and comforted

"As always, it was just a nightmare!" I don't know if Shen Rugu woke up, or if he was too scared in his dream, he also hugged her tightly and kept repeating

"I'm scared...... I'm scared...... There are ghosts...... "She herself has been haunted by nightmares countless times, but the most terrible nightmare for her is the loss of Shen Ru.

Although she felt that Shen Rugu could no longer remember the past, she was satisfied to be able to get her back, even if it was just a good-for-nothing son!

She patted him gently and whispered comfort in his ear

"Don't be afraid, as usual, this time, I won't lose you again-" Cat pounced Chinese
