As far as the eye could see, the beast cavalry and infantry on the vast plain were staggered, and the sound of killing was deafening. Smoke and dust billowed down, and flesh and blood could be seen everywhere.

In the high-pitched sound of the horn, the three armies came and went, and the swords intersected continuously, bursting out bursts of brilliant sparks.

The headless ghost army is becoming more and more courageous, and the Ma Shou national army is not to be outdone, and the bear army screams again and again.

The human soul looking down on Xingtian in the battlefield, named Li Mu, is the commander of this bear army. As early as when he was in the world, he was already the right-hand man of the Yellow Emperor. After arriving in the underworld, he still followed the Yellow Emperor.

It is said that this guy can not only fight well, but also use his brain, and there are many legends in the world that mention that the car was invented by him.

Xingtian, who was standing opposite him, didn't say a word, jumped up, and slashed down angrily with the axe in his hand towards the top of Li Mu's head.

"What a brave and unscrupulous ghost. Li Mu, who had a contemptuous face, shook his head and said, and after turning the Tuomu bow in his hand, he held it backhanded, and struck hard towards Xingtian's right rib.

Generally, longbows are used for shooting, but the method of hitting opponents with the bow is quite novel. Xingtian, who jumped into the air, raised his axe with his right hand high at this time, and the right side of his body was just wide open.

Seeing that the Tuomu Bow that came like thunder and was about to hit his right rib, Xing Tian's heart sank, and he suddenly stopped his body, spun his body in the air, narrowly avoided the blow of the longbow, and landed on the ground with a bang.

I saw that Xing Tian only turned a half-circle on tiptoe, and then he had already stood firm, and the axe in his hand also fell with a gale at this time, this time he was no longer aiming at Li Mu, but at the fat and short neck of the man bear under the other party's crotch.

The cold light flickered quickly, and blood splattered all over him, and the man and bear didn't even have time to scream before he could scream.

Li Mu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly jumped up from the bear's back. At the same time, the severed man-bear staggered to the ground.

Li Mu, who landed steadily on the opposite side of Xingtian, looked at Xingtian again, and said in surprise: "It seems that I underestimated you." ”。

As he spoke, he took out two arrows with a length of two feet and nine inches, and the arrows were made of iron pentagonal, sandwiched between the middle finger and the ring finger of the index finger, and aimed the bow and arrow at Xingtian's chest.

With the bow bent like a full moon, there were green muscles bulging on Limu's muscular arms.

The next second, two "whoosh" sounds came from the Tuomu bow, and the two long arrows shot out of their hands and broke through the air.

Seeing this, Xing Tian didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly put the bronze square shield in his hand on his chest, protected the part above his knees, and rushed towards Li Mu.

Then two muffled sounds came from the shield, Xing Tian's left hand holding the shield was numb, and he subconsciously glanced down, only to see that the two long swords had pierced the shield and stretched out from behind, which showed the strength of Li Mu's arms.

At this time, Li Mu took out two long arrows from the quiver and mounted them, aimed at Xingtian in front of him, and shot out angrily without hesitation. Xingtian didn't dodge, just relied on the bronze shield in his hand to protect it.

By the time he reached the bear's corpse, the second and third arrows had pierced his shield.

Xingtian's right foot reached under the corpse of the beast soul, and after a loud roar, he kicked the hundred-pound corpse away at Li Mu. The heavy human-bear carcass was thrown into the air, spun in the air a few times, and then smashed into Limu.

Li Mu hurriedly leaned over, and at the same time reached out and pulled out two more long arrows from the quiver behind his back. The headless body of the man-bear swirled past him.

Fortunately, Li Mu is also a human soul who has experienced a hundred battles, and his reflexes are not sluggish, and if he breathes at night, the body of the man and bear will inevitably smash towards him.

After taking a breath, Li Mu, who straightened up, shot the long arrow in his hand again. This time, because of the proximity, the long arrow actually pierced the bronze square shield of Xingtian, causing three or five thin slits to grow horizontally on the surface of the square shield.

Xingtian, who had deceived himself, roared angrily, raised the axe in his hand again, and aimed at the top of Na Limu's head and slashed down. The cold light on the axe was sheng, and the cold aura emanated from the axe in an instant, filling up all the two ghosts within a zhang.

Seeing that the axe with the momentum of thunder and flashing cold in the light of the cloudy sun was close at hand, he didn't dare to hold it up. At that moment, he leaned back, and the Takagi bow was on the tip of his toe in front of his chest, and flew out upside down.

A "click" sound came from the bow stem, but I saw that the tuomu bow had been broken in two by the axe of Xingtian.

The axe with gusts of wind slammed to the ground, shooting up puffs of dust and smashing several cracks on the ground in front of Xingtian's feet.

Li Mu, who flew out upside down, was shocked and angry, and then there was a "hissing" sound on his chest when he landed, but the soft armor and robe worn on his body were shattered.

Fortunately, only the soft armor of the robe was torn, and the skin and flesh were temporarily undamaged, but this was enough to make Li Mu's heart rise in humiliation, and it turned into a little anger.

The even more angry Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and his face was full of anger and hideous.

"Try to make Xingtian suffer a heavy blow. Li Mu recalled in his mind what the Yellow Emperor had said to him before the expedition, and without hesitation, he threw the broken bow in his hand, pulled out the ring knife at his waist, and rushed towards Xingtian.

Xingtian, who was boiling with blood, roared angrily, raised the axe in his hand, and pounced on Li Mu......

Outside the north gate of Yuque City, the capital of Jiuyou Kingdom, there is a simple carriage slowly moving forward on the official road, passing through the city gate and entering the city.

It was not his ghost who drove the car, it was Xiao Shizhu's personal guard Fan Jinhong, and it was Xiao Shizhu who was sitting in the car.

The wheels rolled forward, heading halfway up the hill to the north of the city. After walking on the winding mountain road for a long time, I stopped in front of a small courtyard with the inscription "Shangshudi" on the door.

The car stopped, and Xiao Shizhu in the car lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Although on the day when Wuqiu Shou's clothes and tombs were erected, the ghost mother had already led the Chinese military officials to pay homage, Xiao Shizhu, who had just returned to the city, insisted on personally mourning Wuqiu Shou.

So as soon as he entered the city, he didn't return to the palace, so he went straight to this place.

After getting out of the car, looking at the stone unicorns on both sides of the gate, and the white silk hanging on the door, Xiao Shizhu's eyes couldn't help but show a little sadness.

According to the rules and etiquette of the underworld, after the death of the ghost in the family, the white silk will be hung in each house for a hundred days, in order to express mourning.

Therefore, now that the mound of Wu Qiu Shou has been erected and buried for a month, the white silk in this mansion has not been removed, and the whole small courtyard is filled with a sad atmosphere.

Fan Jinhong was about to step forward and knock on the door, but Xiao Shizhu grabbed him and said softly, "I'll come." After that, he slowly stood in front of the door, raised his hand and held the knocker, and gently tapped the door a few times.

A moment after the knock on the door landed, an old voice came from behind the door: "Who?". As he spoke, the door creaked and slowly opened.

An old human soul poked out of the crack in the door, and after looking Xiao Shizhu up and down for a while, his face suddenly showed respect, and he hurriedly opened the door completely.

Xiao Shizhu has been to Wuqiu Shou's mansion several times during his years in Yuque City, so this porter also knows him. At that moment, he hurriedly put on a whole robe, bowed down and said, "The grass people meet the Nine Shadows King." ”。

"The vulgar rites are exempted, bother your husband to lead me into the house, I want to mourn your master. ”。 Xiao Shizhu waved his hand, and the sadness in his eyes was even worse.

"No. The porter then turned sideways and led with his right hand, "My lord, please come with me!"

After passing the weeping flower gate, when I came to the second courtyard, I saw that several servants of the family were cleaning in the courtyard, still wearing linen and filial piety, and the sadness that emerged in Xiao Shizhu's heart was even stronger.

The servants stopped what they were doing one after another and bowed slightly to Xiao Shizhu.

Xiao Shizhu, whose footsteps were heavy, slowly moved step by step in the direction of the main hall. Looking around again, the houses in the small courtyard are quite sturdy, but the beams and pillars are mottled, and there are no gorgeous decorations.

As a dignified scholar of the Criminal Department of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the head of the Investigation Division, Wu Qiu Shou's family does not have the slightest magnificence, and it is full of simplicity, which makes Xiao Shizhu even more worried.

The closer you get to the main hall, the stronger the smell of fireworks becomes. When I went up the stone steps in front of the hall, I saw smoke and fire in the depths of the main hall. Xiao Shizhu looked at it in a daze, and saw that in the midst of the smoke, Wu Qiu Shou's tablet was enshrined in the middle of the table in the depths.

It's just a few months, and a living ghost has become a tablet, which makes Xiao Shizhu's heart even more sad.

He crossed the threshold with heavy steps and stood in the main hall.

Wu Qiuyuan, who also looked sad, hurried over, stood beside Xiao Shizhu with red eyes, bowed and saluted, and choked up: "Uncle Xiao." ”。 Tears flowed from his eyes.

Xiao Shizhu has a good relationship with Wu Qiushou, and he does not allow his children to call themselves the lord in private, they all call him uncle. Therefore, when Wu Qiuyuan saw him as if he was a relative, this seventeen or eighteen male ghost had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't help crying.

"Good boy, don't cry. Xiao Shizhu trembled in his choked voice, raised his hand and stroked his head a few times, and said bluntly in a low voice: "If there are any difficulties in life, just tell me." ”。

"Hmm. Wu Qiuyuan nodded vigorously with tears, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"Go get the white silk. Xiao Shizhu said to the old porter without hesitation.

"No. The porter answered, and then turned and left, and in a short time fetched two white silks.

Xiao Shizhu nodded and took the white silk, and said in a low voice: "Thank you." After that, he didn't hesitate to tie the white silk around his waist. Then he took the three incense sticks handed by Wuqiu Yuan, stood in front of Wuqiu Shou's tablet, bent down three times, inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the tablet, stared at Wuqiu Shou's tablet and whispered: "I used to say that you were busy so that the ghosts of the underworld could live a good life, but you lie down before you realize it." ”。

Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu choked up and then suddenly paused, unable to say any more.

"Wu Qiu Shou, you are a bastard, how can there be a ghost like you, the ideal is just to talk about it and not finish it. After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Shizhu, who couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, burst out of the corners of his eyes, where he had never shed tears: "You get up, get up and finish everything you said to me, and then rest." You lie down like this, you don't know that you don't have righteousness, you don't rest when you are told to rest, and now you are resting, but you can never get up. ”。 Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but block his mouth with his fist, and turned slightly away from the eyes of the ghosts.

"Didn't you say that when I became the overlord of the underworld, you want me to send you to the world to be a human being again? Don't you want to see the video games and online games I said? Don't you believe that mobile games are addicted and want to try them?" After a while, Xiao Shizhu, who had calmed down a little, turned around again, looked directly at Wu Qiu Shou's tablet, and said in a trembling voice: "You get up, you can say anything when you get up, I promise you, I will let you go to the world and think about a good fortune for seventy or eighty years." ”。

Outside the hall, the mournful wind suddenly rose, blowing all the grass and trees in the courtyard and the wind chimes hanging on the warped corners.

"Uncle Xiao, you can come all the way back to mourn your father, he must be very happy. Seeing the self-blame and guilt in Xiao Shizhu's face, Wu Qiuyuan hurriedly grabbed his arm and said with relief: "Don't blame yourself, my father's death is not your fault." ”。

Xiao Shizhu held back the tears in his eyes and didn't let them gush out of his eyes, but his eyes were even redder.
