The desert is yellow and dusty.

The two of them walked slowly with a camel, but the sand raised could not be close to half of the two of them.

"Old ghost, why can't I feel the wind and sand?"

The man, who was also the boy's grandfather, said, "Because I made the wind and sand not blow you." ”

The boy was puzzled, he had never seen such a strange thing, and he had never really understood this grandfather whom he had never met. Then he asked: "Then you are so powerful, why did you only appear now." ”

The boy wanted to tell all the past events that had happened over the years, but the words suddenly stopped. Since childhood, he has been wandering in that kind of factor full of danger and instability, and he has long lost the innocence of his peers. He touched the dagger hanging from his waist, perhaps in this desert, it was the only one who was his true friend.

The old ghost didn't speak, he knew that he owed them too much over the years, but he couldn't help it, if it weren't for the coincidence that he had realized the Wuxiang Dispersion Gong, with his ability, let alone recovering the country, even if he walked in this barren desert, he could be killed at any time.

Occasionally, jackals and man-eaters passed by, but they were all watching from a distance, and they did not dare to move forward, and even the poisonous scorpions on the ground crawled away from their footholds. This also shows that the cultivation of the old ghost has reached a certain realm, and this realm is that kind of weird and unusual state, and all spiritual animals avoid it.

It has been almost forty years since the farewell of the Scorpion City Palace. When he escaped from the sewers, the boy's father was about the same age as he is now, and the two seemed to be carved out of the same mold. It's just that the situation now is different from back then, last time I was in trouble and fled, and this time I went to get back those things that belonged to me.

The boy's father, the reason why he fled so far away, was mainly to avoid being chased by Snow Country. The kingdom fell, and everyone in the family was driven to extinction, and these two were the only ones who were lucky enough to escape. The old ghost traveled many places to find the lost son at the beginning, although they are not the direct heirs of the kingdom, but now this family is only the two of them are still alive, so it is naturally their duty.

After a few days of marching in the desert, when they reached the gate of the city of Scorpions, the old ghost stopped and said, "This is your kingdom, and from now on you are king." ”

When the boy went to such a large place for the first time, he saw an endless stream of merchants at the gate of the city, and many soldiers were checking on the side. Over the years, he had no fixed residence, and he followed the cattle and sheep to hunt, and after encountering robbers and robbers, he often returned to poverty overnight and started all over again. The boys had seen the soldiers' costumes a few times, weren't they the robbers?

Originally, the atmosphere was quite good, but when he could go to this place, the boy felt uncomfortable all over his body, and there was an indescribable fear, on the one hand, to people, and on the other hand, to this impregnable city.

"Don't worry, just let me in." The old ghost said, and after a brief explanation with the soldiers, the two entered the city.

After walking through the streets and alleys, he finally stopped in front of the palace and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to kill, you just have to follow me." ”

The boy was suspicious, and when he saw the old ghost, he walked straight forward, with a grim face and a knife in his eyes. When the soldiers at the gate saw the old man, they stepped forward with a knife to threaten, but they were thrown away by an inexplicable force, and they hit the city gate, their brains burst, and their whole body was separated.

Soon, the palace was littered with corpses, and those who wanted to flee could not leave the palace even a step. Before the old ghost entered, he had already imposed a ban on this palace, and none of these people could escape.

Forty years ago, they almost lost their lives here, and the cruelty of the wolf pack hunting tactics adopted by Snow Country can be seen. But now the old ghost is even more ruthless than they were back then, he uses the exercises he has practiced for many years to kill people invisibly, and some people don't even see each other, so they die with a whimper.

For the enemy who exterminated the clan back then, he naturally would not show mercy to his subordinates, until he killed the king's treasure hall and saw a childish boy wearing a crown on his head, surrounded by many palace maids and staff, and he was already trembling with fright and crying silently.

The old ghost chose an elderly minister and left him alive, and he killed the rest. When it came to the last king, the old ghost said to his grandson, "Kill him, and you will be king." ”

Although this young king was born when he was born, the matter of the Scorpion Kingdom had already happened. He may have thought that the divine right of kingship had been granted by plunder. The two men were of similar age, and the grandson of the old ghost was more sophisticated than the young king, and he did not hesitate to draw the knife he was wearing, and without hesitation stabbed him in the chest, like slaughtering a sheep and a cow, without any mud and water.

Finally, the old minister, when he saw it, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and when he saw the boy sitting on the throne, he immediately prostrated himself and bowed, "Long live the king." "It's also a little eyesight, seeing that the two of them are definitely not ordinary people, he will immediately think of the father and son who fled at that time, and they must be here to take revenge and regain everything that was lost.

The old ghost stood beside the king, staring blankly at everything in front of him, the blood, the corpses, the overturned golden containers, and the delicacies scattered on the ground.

The old ghost said, "Today, we are just taking back this country that belongs to us, and the people in these palaces are all executioners stained with the blood of our people. My people have lived here for generations, but you have taken it for yourself by the robbers of the Snow Country. Now, I will spare your life and go back to the snow country to report it, and I will kill you back to the snow country with the strength of one person, and destroy you and other robbers one by one, you go. ”

Seeing that the other party let him die, Lao Cheng stood up tremblingly and said, "Thank you for the king's grace not to kill." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and after walking out of the palace, he had already walked like a fly, for fear that the people behind him would regret it, and he would also follow in the footsteps of those people.

In just an hour or two, the old ghost killed all these people cleanly, leaving only an old man who reported the news. This man is old, even if he doesn't kill him, he won't live long, and he won't leave any threat to the kingdom.

After the cleanup, the future recruitment of troops and horses was logical, and within a few years, Scorpion City returned to its former prosperity, and even more prosperous than before. About seven or eight years later, the old ghost took the king and hundreds of Janissaries to the north of the Snow Country, and in a few days he captured the Snow Country and destroyed it, and all the princes and nobles left only a Rada princess.

Now the old ghost assisted the king in the northern and southern wars, but it was only limited to the territory of the Snow Country invasion back then, and they never touched other farther and richer places. This injustice has a head, a debt has a master, everything must have a degree, coupled with the magic skills that the old ghost learned unintentionally, this makes him know that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and his own spells, if he meets a master, I am afraid he will not necessarily take advantage.

Therefore, after stabilizing the situation, the grandfather and grandson began to recuperate, stop expanding externally, and reduce the tax burden internally, which can be regarded as hard work. With the support of the old ghost, the new king's throne was quite stable, but within a few years, the king's temperament began to change greatly and became a little cruel, which is one of the reasons why the people of Scorpion City are afraid of him.

And the old ghost, after the restoration of the country, rarely participated in state affairs, he began to focus on cultivating the eighth level of the Wuxiang Dispersion Gong, and he would not appear unless he had to.

At the moment when he came into contact with the old ghost, Li Yiming already knew the ins and outs of the matter, there is no absolute right and wrong in this matter, different positions and opportunities, what will be done will be different, but you can't use the tip of the iceberg in front of ordinary people to interpret and judge right and wrong.

Li Yiming really wants to withdraw the blood refining method, so that Senior Brother Ye Huan can decide. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that in the thoughts of this old ghost, there was a forbidden place, a deep consciousness that could not be reached. It seems that there is a sealed memory, deeply imprisoned there, like a locked iron box, sinking in the deep sea.

What the hell is this? When Li Yiming noticed it, the more curious he felt. After exhausting the true qi of the whole body, one of the realm gaze eyes in the Blood Refining Method was opened. I saw that the iron box in the deep sea slowly cracked, and the light at the crack became stronger and stronger, and finally a white light flashed in front of Li Yiming's eyes, and the buzzing sound was in his ears, and it was extremely noisy.

Wait until the white light dissipates and calm returns.

It was a sunny day, and soon after the old ghost pacified the country, after a day of hard thinking, he couldn't understand the cultivation method of the eighth level of the Wuxiang Scattering Gong, and I don't know how many days and nights this state lasted, but the cultivation still continued to stagnate, and there was no progress. Together, it turned into a black mist and flew southwest.

I don't know how long I flew, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and arrived at a place I had never been to at all. It was a black swamp, and it looked dead silent, with few birds or animals.

The old ghost turned into a black mist, and he made a long circle around the swamp, and he didn't see a single normal living thing, only those unknown things in the water wriggling, and there was no clue in the top. Out of curiosity, the old ghost used the Phaseless Dispersal Exercise, turned into water, and merged into the swamp.

Upon closer inspection, he found that there was a cave in the sky, and although it was a swamp, there were passages made of vines and some unknown things, all of which were hollow, and there was air that people could breathe. And around these passages, there are some dead people wriggling around, like silkworm chrysalis, dense and countless.

If you change to an ordinary person, let alone go in, even if you are contaminated with the evil water in the swamp, you will be invaded into the bone marrow and die of poison.

While he was alert, he suddenly heard a voice coming.

"Who is it? How dare you trespass into my realm? ”
