On the night of the red moon, in the Xuanwu Hall of Su Ye City, Ye Lu was curled up in a dark corner alone in horror and did not dare to come out. The expeditionary army, thousands of miles away, was terrified by the red moon at the same time, but also worried about the desert that was about to step into. Everyone is wondering if the thousand-year-old legend is true, but whether the ghosts that exist in the Gobi Desert are also true. They were too scared to think about it, but everyone was thinking about it.

The 40,000 righteous marching troops led by Tang An marched for a full month before reaching the edge of the Gobi Desert. The world's largest desert, the Gobi Desert, is not at the edge of sight, this desert was formed in a great drought a thousand years ago, the deterioration of the bad environment in the north for several years has intensified its scale again and again, the unscrupulous desert is like a freely moving mouth constantly swallowing the surrounding territory, the former Xialing Yalan twelve tribal territories have become sand, and now the culprit of the yellow sand in the sky is also here. The Gobi Desert is accompanied by occasional hurricanes in the yellow sand, Tang An's army did not dare to easily step into this no-man's land, he understood that if he broke into it like this, he was likely to lose his way and cause the consequences of the destruction of the whole army, and then thought of the legendary Gobi undead, he decisively ordered the whole army to suspend the march, and ordered a number of scouts to find the secret passage from three sides.

The soldiers stationed at the edge of the Gobi Desert did not move for a long time, and the scouts sent out to explore the secret passages along the outer edge of the desert did not return, and the few elite scouts sent to the interior of the desert did not return. This intensified the soldiers' fear of this no-man's land, and for two weeks, Tang An looked at the sea of sand in front of him with a haggard face.

On the last day of the third week here, the sky was cloudless and the yellow dust was dancing in the air, and the air was mixed with a strange cold wind, and the soldiers were hiding in tents or in the small mountains and forests not far away, Tang An was discussing the battle plan with the two lieutenants in the commander's tent.

"General Tang, it's not a way for us to always be stationed in this place. How long will this be, if we continue like this, we will run out of food, and even if we cross this desert, I am afraid that your soldiers will not have combat effectiveness. Deputy General Sirui said anxiously.

Another lieutenant Mo Di immediately said: "Yes, big brother! The world is now raging with yellow sand, and this desert may not spread outward at any time, and it will be too late for us to retreat." Now that the legend of the Divine Eye has been fulfilled, the soldiers originally planned to go directly into the desert, but now it seems that it is better to forget it. In my opinion, if we can't find a feasible route to march, let's go back to Xie Ningguo. ”

"Wouldn't that become the laughing stock of the people, and the people of Nayayue will not take us seriously. Two brothers, why don't I want to get through this desert quickly? Kill those bastards in Yayue City, even if I die in this desert in the end, I am willing. Tang An said helplessly, his fist slammed on the table.

Seeing that Tang An had no choice but to withdraw his troops, the two lieutenants didn't say anything. Mo Di sighed a little angrily and walked out of the tent, and just after walking a short distance, he said to himself, "You want to die here, don't pull Lao Tzu." And Sirui sat still silently.

Speaking of these three generals, Tang An doesn't need to go into details, he is definitely a famous first-class general in Xie Ning Kingdom. Although the deputy generals Sirui and Mo Di are both deputy generals, their backgrounds are very different. This twenty-two-year-old young man Sirui was able to sit in the seat of the current general because of his bravery and courage. Four years ago, Xuanwu XV was surrounded by bandits while hunting in the mountains and forests, and all the soldiers and horses were killed by the bandits. Eighteen-year-old Sirui passed through the mountains and forests, and saved the already desperate Xuanwu XV from the bandit group with a sharp axe by himself, and since then the eighteen-year-old Sirui has soared. The other lieutenant general, Mo Diguang, obviously did not look like a general from the outside, Mo Di looked a little ugly, the bridge of his nose was slightly collapsed, and his two eyes were shining with fierce eyebrows. Mo Di was able to achieve the position of general, but it was all due to the hereditary position of his ancestors. Mo Di's ancestor is none other than Mo Fei, the first general under the founding emperor Yeats. In that year, Yeats and the generals of the Four Roads worked together to drive the evil spirit emperor in the north out of this land. Later, Mo Fei went to the south with Yeats to support the Dimon people, and later founded the country and became a general, and the Xuanwu Emperor Yeats ordered the descendants of the Mo family to lead the general for generations in recognition of Mo Fei's achievements. And this ink flute is the descendant of Mo Fei back then, if it comes to real skills, this ink flute is less than one-third of Si Rui's, in a sense, it can be regarded as ruining the incense and reputation of the Mo family.

Of course, these are all things of the past, and no one cares how the official position comes from, people only value this official position. At noon, when Tang An and Sirui were still looking at each other and feeling depressed, a herald suddenly rushed in.

"General, a scout has returned from the desert!"

"What, where are the people now?" Tang An said as he got up in surprise and excitement. "In the front tent, but now I am unconscious. Tang An walked out of the tent quickly without having time to ask more questions, Sirui followed, and Mo Di followed outside when he saw the two of them hurrying in their footsteps.

Tang An soon walked to the front of the curtain, and everyone was surrounding a soldier covered in loess with chapped lips. Tang An stepped forward and pushed everyone away and said, "How is he?" A medical doctor squatting next to him raised his head unhurriedly and said, "Don't worry, general, he's fine." It's just that I'm overworked and lack of water and faint. I've given him medicine and flushed water, and it won't be long before he wakes up. Tang An nodded, still staring at the unconscious scout with a nervous expression.

Ten minutes later, the scout slowly opened his eyes, and everyone's hanging hearts were completely relieved.

"General!" Seeing Tang An beside him, the scout grabbed Tang An's hand excitedly.

"Well, you're fine, don't worry, if you have something to say, talk slowly, what did you see in the desert, is there a secret passage, what is the situation inside. ”

"Yes, yes... There was a secret passage, and there was a very strong wind inside, and about two hundred miles inside, there was a large hole that was very dark, and there was candlelight in it. The scout said breathlessly.

"Are you in?" asked Si Rui, a little confused.

"I went in, it was a long staircase to go underground, the passage inside was very wide, and there were many people to pass through, and there were candles to illuminate, but I was afraid that I would be too exhausted to come back and report the news, so I didn't dare to go inside. ”

Hearing this, Tang An and many soldiers had a long-lost smile on their faces.

"Thank you for your hard work, rest well. Tang An touched the detective's face and said.

"The people of Yayue can freely travel through this desert all year round, and according to what he said, if those passages can pass thousands of people, they should be the secret passages of the Yayue people. Tang An stood up and looked at the two lieutenants and said.

"Give the order, General. Sirui said excitedly.

Tang An smiled and said, "Yayue beasts, let me see where you can run now, and our accounts should be settled." Tang An then ordered the whole army to pack up after lunch, and march towards the desert before dusk.

The fire of hatred of the soldiers for the Yayue people burned again, and they just wanted to cross the desert quickly and go to the other end to slaughter the city, and they forgot about the terrible things in the Gobi Desert that they had feared before.

The dusk accompanied by the end of the sunset came as scheduled, and the huge red sun dyed the western sky as gorgeous as blood, and this grand scene was like solemnly welcoming the night, and it was like solemnly sacrificing the day. The mighty 40,000 men marched into the heart of the desert, and no one knew what the journey meant to them, whether it was a triumphant victory, revenge, or something else.

The night came as promised, the wind was blowing in this thousands of miles of empty land, and 40,000 people stepped compactly in this boundless yellow sand. Everyone is not afraid of the wind and yellow sand, this rare scene in this life makes everyone even more worried when they travel, but it is the undead roar that has just been forgotten and now recalled, no one dares to take it lightly, after all, the legend of the red moon has become a fact.

Walking in the desert at night is a very difficult thing, walking in the yellow sand is like walking through the mud, every step is difficult, and this night is fortunate to have the heavens full of stars through the hidden sky of yellow sand to guide the way. After walking all night, the Righteous Front Army saw the so-called "secret passage" at dawn the next day.

When they finally arrived at the secret passage, everyone's tired expressions instantly blossomed as if they had seen their hometown, and before they had time to hesitate too much, the 40,000-strong army led people into the huge black hole of unknown origin.

The yellow sand outside was swept up a few feet high by the wind in an instant, and then it spread across the sky, obscuring the little light that had just been projected by the first day, and a large area of yellow sand continued to gather and move, and soon blocked the entrance to the black hole.

After Tang An led the team into the black hole, he slowly walked along the candlelight to the stairs inside. "Don't mess up, the terrain here is a bit complicated, everyone be careful and bring your own team. Tang An held his sword and looked ahead, loudly admonishing the people around him.

The soldiers walked cautiously through the secret passage, the walls of which were wet with black marble and the floor with damp strange rocks. The more everyone walked in the glimmer, the more forks in the road became, and many inner halls and pavilions appeared on both sides. Tang An began to have a sense of foreboding, he felt that it was not easy for everyone to find an exit when they walked together, so he shouted: "There are many roads here, and each general and tie will walk all the way and march separately." "After receiving the order, the people who had been crowded on a thoroughfare scattered.

Everyone continued to march on their own paths, and the deeper they went, the more it became felt that they were entering a labyrinth, and the soldiers had to keep "dividing into two ways" to find the real exit.

They were lost in the dial that had been repeated, and the soldiers were groping with fear. A small group of soldiers turned into a relatively large inner room, which had a frame of windows, of course, which was blocked, and a dark wooden bed in the corner. Several of the soldiers turned and walked out when they saw that it was a dead end, and finally the soldier unconsciously looked back as he left, only to see a vague half-naked woman lying on the bed, her bewitching eyes staring straight at him. The soldier shouted "ahhh

"There are ghosts, there are ghosts in this. The soldier looked at his teammates with a pale face, not daring to turn around.

"What's wrong with you?" the others asked boldly.

"Just now... There was a woman lying on this bed just now!" he said solemnly, looking back.

"Ah, woman, are you hallucinating, or do you want to be crazy about women?" everyone laughed, and the tense nerves were released in an instant.

The soldier realized that there was nothing, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't lie to you, it's true, I really saw it... A topless... Women, too... It's me who has a vision. I... I did see something. After he finished speaking, everyone laughed even more happily.

The soldier who was mocking him just now hurriedly said, "Is that woman lying on the bed like this?" As he spoke, he walked to the dark wooden bed, and lay down on it in a very seductive motion, and the others burst into laughter when they saw him.

Suddenly, everyone's smiles stopped, their expressions froze, and their lips trembled slightly. I saw a bony wrist peeking out from behind the soldier, and the soldier seemed to know that something was wrong, so he asked with a misty expression, "You... What's wrong with you?" As soon as he finished speaking, the white wrist grabbed the soldier's neck, and the bed board seemed to turn into water, and the soldier was dragged under the bed at once. Before the other soldiers could react, a pile of bones spat out from inside the bed, along with blood and armor.

The rest of the soldiers shouted "Ah, there really are ghosts!" almost at the same time, and ran away. Immediately after that, in the entire secret passage corridor, everyone heard strange laughter from all directions. Everyone was frightened and shook their swords from side to side in a panic, Tang An pulled out his sword and shouted around: "Who are you?

Inside the walls, many skeletons in black armor gradually appeared, some of them still had hair on their heads, some of their bones were all inlaid with stone, and their deep eyes were full of the smell of death and cruelty.

Then the candles all over the ground were extinguished, and the ceiling of the central hall lit up with red floating streaks. A blood-red shadow was reflected in the massive wall, and the shadow flowed down the wall to the ceiling, then drooped down from the ceiling. The blackness of the shadow faded away, and a man with his back to a skeletal face in bronze robes appeared in the hallway above.
