Chapter 142: Yin Soldiers Borrow the Way
In folklore, the Yin Soldier, also known as the Underworld Soldier, the Ghost Soldier.
As the name suggests, it is a soldier from the underworld.
The two worlds of yin and yang are usually separated from each other, but once these soldiers of the underworld come to the world, there is a well-known phenomenon of "yin soldiers borrowing the way", and the so-called borrowing the way is actually the road of the yang world.
However, "Yin Soldier Street" does not specifically refer to such ghosts.
Sometimes, people will also refer to the unknown and large number of troops as "Yin soldiers", as if they appeared from the underworld in an instant.
According to the legends handed down from mouth to mouth, there are two main types of Yin soldiers.
The first is closely related to the folk belief of the "underworld", these Yin soldiers are appointed to the underworld and go to the world to collect the souls of the dead and bring them to the underworld.
Therefore, once there are too many deaths in some places, it is easy to have such a yin soldier aisle. This kind of Yin soldier aisle is often neat and disciplined, but it is the same as what you encounter in front of you.
However, it is precisely because of the ancient times that there is a "public office" in the body, this kind of Yin soldiers often do not attack passers-by, as long as they are far away in advance, generally speaking, there will be no obstacles to life.
But a serious illness is inevitable in the next few days, after all, as a living person, the body's yang energy collides with them, and it is normal to have some punishments.
And this second type of "Yin Soldier" is somewhat different. This kind of Yin soldier is said to be the ghost of a soldier who died on the battlefield, and although the body has died, the soul refuses to leave due to a powerful obsession.
Still wandering on the battlefield, repeating the mission of killing the enemy day after day, but not knowing that he will never be able to return to his hometown.
This kind of Yin soldier aisle is mostly found near ancient battlefields, and is accompanied by the image and sound of battle scenes, which usually appears suddenly and without warning, and then disappears in an instant.
This second type of "Yin Soldier" is certainly extremely inconsistent with the current situation. First of all, this is not a remnant of an ancient battlefield. Secondly, the appearance of these "Yin Soldiers" is extremely ceremonial, which is more in line with the characteristics of the first type of "Yin Soldiers".
As for the reason for the appearance here, it is believed that it was attracted by the souls of hundreds of thousands of people who died in the Tongyou earthquake, and it is unknown why it did not appear until a few months after the earthquake.
"The Yin Soldier Passageway, it should be to take away these wandering spirits, let's not disturb them, it's okay if we stay away."
Qin Yu said calmly, and then took a few junior disciples and slowly retreated backwards. As for whether the two of them believe it or not, that's their business, and they don't bother to care.
Yang Pu hesitated for a while, but still absolutely believed what Qin Yu said, and slowly retreated.
As for Mo Yunqi, there is no right way at this time, seeing that the number of these "Yin Soldiers" is increasing, and they are gradually approaching here, there is no way, they can only temporarily retreat first to avoid being discovered.
The crowd retreated a hundred meters away, but when they looked up at the plain again.
I saw that the Yin soldiers behind the group of cavalry had already dispersed, and pounced on those unjust souls like hungry tigers.
On weekdays, Qin Yu still felt that the speed of these unjust souls was fast enough, but under the hands of this group of Yin soldiers, they didn't even run out of a distance of dozens of zhang before they were caught.
These Yin soldiers carried long knives at their waists, but they didn't pull them out, but instead held a wriggling black mist whip in their hands.
Just waved it so lightly in front of him, and the black mist was like a snake, and in the blink of an eye, it directly tied up three or four unjust souls.
After these unjust souls were caught, there was no trace of struggle, but instead turned into a white light, merging into the black fog whip.
In the blink of an eye, these "Yin Soldiers" swept away all the unjust souls that came into view, and then began to move in the direction of Tongyou City.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yu and the others were naturally very happy while being shocked. For no reason, suddenly there are so many things that need to be done, and anyone will feel that the burden on their shoulders is lighter.
Seeing that this place has been taken over by these "Yin soldiers". The group looked at each other and slowly stepped back away from the place.
But before he could get down the hill, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Everyone looked up, only to see a group of cavalry rushing towards here, they were very fast, and even before everyone could react, they arrived in front of them, and stayed not far in front of Qin Yu and the others, with a reverse slope in between.
Qin Yu could see these cavalry on his side, but the other party couldn't see the other side because of the height difference.
How fast these "Yin soldiers" were before, everyone saw it, and now when they see them coming, they can only hope that they have not found any traces of themselves and others.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded chaotically, and everyone lay on the slope, their chests throbbing.
In the face of these armies from the underworld, everyone really can't raise much of a resistance in their hearts, just by looking at these "Yin soldiers" dealing with those unjust souls, they almost have no backhand power.
Moreover, even if you are a cultivator, as a person, you will still have some instinctive fear in your heart for a place like the underworld.
The cavalry had been around for a while, but had not noticed anything unusual, and was about to leave.
But at this time, I don't know who is not feeling well, and at this critical time, he actually let out a small fart.
The cavalrymen, who had planned to leave, immediately turned their horses' heads like cats seeing mice, and rushed towards the place where everyone was hiding.
Seeing this, Qin Yu hurriedly shouted, "Run!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd scattered as birds and beasts, and each fled in a different direction.
There were twenty of them in this group of cavalry, and when they saw these humans scattering and fleeing, they actually chased after them very unusually.
Qin Yu didn't expect this to be the result, and he was shocked in his heart, didn't he say that this thing would not take the initiative to attack mortals.
But now there was no time to think about it, Qin Yu also immediately turned around and began to run wildly for his life.
However, having seen their speed before, how Qin Yu and the others were able to escape, and in the next quarter of an hour, it was useless for these "Yin soldiers" to catch everyone at a devastating speed.
Qin Yu originally wanted to use the Taiyin True Fire to forcibly resist it and see if it could have a miraculous effect.
But who knows, he still underestimated the black mist whip in the other party's hand, as long as he was stained by it, he didn't know why, the Taiyin True Fire in his body actually didn't react.
This carelessness directly made Qin Yu restrained, and then his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness completely.
The "Yin soldiers" rode their horses and returned to the cavalry phalanx, and the dozen or so living people they would bring were still on the ground at will.
In front of them was a man riding a lap larger than the horses around him, a burly man dressed as a general.
