Chapter 171: The Night Ghost of a Thousand Years Ago
Yu Zhi walked around the town for a while and ate a steaming bowl of wontons on the side of the road.
Just as he was getting up, Yu Zhi saw two familiar figures - Zhao Hao and Guo Shu'er.
Yu Zhi lowered his head and waited for the two of them to pass by him, but fortunately, the other party did not find Yu Zhi.
"Why are these two here?" Yu Zhi was a little strange. Even if it was strange, Yu Zhi didn't think about it, maybe it was just that the two of them went down the mountain to go shopping.
Yu Zhi bought a fast horse and rushed to the direction of Qinggu, the 100,000 mountains stretched for thousands of miles, but fortunately, Cangshan was not in the depths, and there were very few sects that would open sects in the depths. The green valley in Cangshan is not far away, and it only takes a day or two for the horses to gallop.
Another day later, Yu Zhi appeared in Qinggu.
Qinggu is still the same Qinggu, but the Ye family is no longer the original Ye family.
After Ye Qinghuan killed Wang Wenxiu on the night, the Ye family suffered more sieges, most of the industries in Qinggu had been swallowed up, and some insignificant small shops were left to barely make ends meet.
The rise and fall of glory and disgrace are fleeting in a blink of an eye, and overnight, the bright and prosperous era can also be wiped out, let alone a family?
Wang Wenxiu's death had nothing to do with the Ye family, and even the Ye family should be happy. The suppression in the past ten years was all instigated by Wang Wenxiu, if she died, the Ye family could have a better life.
But the world is full of bizarre twists and turns. The Ye family wanted to kill Ye Qinghuan and killed Ye Qinghuan for Wang Wenxiu.
This reason didn't make sense, but because of the benefits promised by Wang Wenxiu, it made sense again.
It's a pity that, just like ten years ago, the Ye family bet on the wrong chips again, stood by ten years ago, and waned ten years later.
Retribution will one day fall on one's head.
When passing by the Ye Mansion, Yu Zhi glanced inside, the guards in front of the mansion were gone, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves were also a little broken. Some people went in and out of the Ye Mansion, and there were some scolding voices in the Mansion from time to time, and then it was calm again.
These people naturally came to threaten the Ye family, and these scoldings were naturally the helplessness of the Ye family.
Yu Zhi didn't hate the Ye family, he just felt that the family was a little shameless and a little affectionate. If you want to say hate, Ye Qinghuan never had it before, but then it did. He didn't hate the silence of the Ye family back then, but hated the Ye family's rebellion in front of Ye Qiurong's grave.
In the Ye family, only Ye Qinghe made Yu Zhi feel a little favorable, this woman is different from these people in the Ye family, but she has the meaning of getting out of the mud and not staining.
As for Ye Chong, when Ye Chong made a move, it represented him personally, not the Ye family. Yu Zhi only thinks that this person still has some bottom line, not to mention good feelings, let alone kindness.
In the tavern, Yu Zhi sat down, paying attention to the chatter of the guests everywhere.
In the tavern, the news is always getting louder and louder. The last thing that is missing here is the topic. However, the complicated news also needs to be screened one by one to distinguish the true from the false.
At this time, Yu Zhi especially missed that touch of green clothes.
Shenyin Pavilion claims to know the affairs of the world, and Yu Zhi has already appreciated its intelligence ability. At the beginning, Yu Zhi was still curious about why Yan Yi was able to recognize his identity repeatedly, but he never thought that behind this woman in green clothes was the Shenyin Pavilion of the Northern Sect Sect.
"Ugh."
When Yu Zhi sighed softly, one person sat down opposite Yu Zhi.
"Are you thinking about me?" A young man in Tsing Yi said.
Yu Zhi was stunned, this was clearly Yan Yi's voice, but why did it come from the young man's mouth?
Slowly, this young man in Tsing Yi seems to be a little familiar.
After just a few breaths, Yu Zhi pointed to the smiling young man in Tsing Yi and said, "You, you, you...... Yan Qingyi? ”
Yan Qingyi is Yan Yi, and Yan Yi is Yan Qingyi. Yan Yi had already told Yu Zhi about this. Now she just changed into a man's outfit, and she has once again become Yan Qingyi, who is the third in the Qingyun test list.
At the beginning, Yu Zhi and Yan Qingyi were not familiar with each other. I just think that this guy has red lips and white teeth, and it is not a good thing at a glance, and he is jealous in his heart. Yes, Yu Zhi has always been jealous of the boy who is better looking than him.
After many years, I knew that the young man with red lips and white teeth was actually a daughter, so it was another thought?
Yu Zhi looked at Yan Yi and said, "Why did you put on men's clothes?" ”
Yan Yi spread his hands and shook the paper fan, which was quite chic. "Hmph, if you are allowed to change your appearance, I will not be allowed to dress up?"
Yu Zhi was speechless, and just wanted to ask, why do you know that I am here. Again, I swallowed the problem back into my stomach.
When he said this, he would definitely be despised by Yan Yi. He knew Yan Yi's temper too well.
"Tell me, are you thinking about me?" Yan Yiqiao asked with a smile.
Yu Zhi has been thought about by Yan Yichai more than once, and he has become accustomed to it after a long time.
However, Yu Zhimian did not change his color and his heart did not beat, and he denied it. "No, no, it can't be."
The denial of the triplet represents the affirmation of the affirmations.
Yan Yi smiled and said, "Ye Qinghuan is in the Qinggu, he broke through the realm smoothly, and he should be stable in the seventh grade of the opening monument." ”
Yu Zhi put down a stone in his heart. Ye Qinghuan's breakthrough is a big deal, how many heroes and heroes in ancient and modern times have fallen on the seven products of the opening monument. After breaking through the realm, Ye Qinghuan's strength has risen to a higher level, and if he dealt with He Yu at the beginning, he didn't need to fight hard at all.
Yu Zhi poured Yan Yi a glass of wine, as if thanking Yan Yi.
Yan Yi snorted, "Stingy." Even if it is a child who announces the good news, the host will also reward some copper coins, and when you come here, it is just a glass of wine. ”
Yu Zhi replied seriously: "I think you should not lack such mundane things as silver, or leave these yellow and white things to people in need like me." ”
Yan Yi snorted coldly again, still with red lips and white teeth like back then.
"Not long ago, Li Haomiao appeared in Beiliang City and saved His Royal Highness the Prince." Yan Yi continued.
Yu Zhi frowned, someone assassinated Xiao Jingyao, this is not unusual. But Xiao Jingyao has a great cultivator by his side, but he still wants Li Haomiao to show up to save him, which is worth pondering.
"Is that the third prince?" Yu Zhi asked.
Yan Yi shook his head, "Night ghost." If it is said that the night ghost appeared, it was not on the night of the night attack on the Northern Sect, but earlier. The night ghost assassinated the crown prince Xiao Jingyao. ”
Night ghosts... Yu Zhi was very unfamiliar with this word, and looked at Yan Yi, with a heavy doubt on his face. Recalling the battle that night, Yu Zhi was even a little afraid. Strange martial arts, retractable limbs, are all killer moves that are difficult to guard against.
Fortunately, Xiong Kui at that time did not hesitate to use the blood-staining method, otherwise, the White Flame Valley would probably be completely destroyed.
Yan Yi tapped the table with her finger and motioned for Yu Zhi to pour wine. She knew that Yu Zhi was at a loss for all of this.
Yu Zhi was also waiting for Yan Yi to explain, so he had to follow Yan Yi's meaning and pour wine for Yan Yi.
"I never thought you were still an alcoholic."
"Begging for a beating, you're a drunkard. Your whole family is drunkards. ”
Speaking to the point, Yan Yi's face also showed a touch of solemnity. This is an emotion rarely seen in Yan Yi.
She has always been as free and romantic as a bell on her wrist, and occasionally as free as the breeze in the mountains, but she rarely has such a serious look.
"Night ghosts..."Yan Yi gently exhaled a breath of turbid air before continuing: "They are not from the human world, but monsters that have invaded this world. ”
"A thousand years ago, such a monster appeared out of nowhere. They have a human form, but they are far from humans, to be exact, they are more like monsters grown up from some deformed baby. Some have slender limbs that can hang directly to the ground, some have sharp-beaked monkey gills and even teeth sharper than tigers and leopards, and some have three heads and six arms, and their black hair is entangled. ”
"In short, their faces are terrifying. In the days after the Night Ghost appeared, dozens of cities in the world were slaughtered, and millions of humans became blood food in the mouth of the Night Ghost. The blood flowed like a river, the corpses were everywhere, and the whole world was far more cruel and bloody than the eighteen layers of hell. ”
Millions of human beings perished in a matter of days. This is tantamount to the people of the current Great Chu Dynasty who rarely go to the territory of Beiliangfu. And it all happened in a matter of days.
Yu Zhi was horrified in his heart, this was only a few days, and if this night ghost wanted to destroy the entire world, I am afraid it would only take more than a month.
Yan Yi sighed and continued: "A thousand years ago, there was no Great Chu Dynasty, but there were far more sects in the world than now, and there were more cultivators than now. When the pinnacle of the world knew everything, the Terrans launched a counterattack. ”
"At first, the Terran was not the opponent of the Night Ghost, and the opponent's unpredictable martial arts and strange and powerful body made the cultivators of the Terran suffer a lot. In the course of one battle after another, the Terrans discovered that these monsters did not like sunlight and preferred dark, damp places. Moreover, the blood diet will allow them to regain their strength quickly. This is where the name 'Night Ghost' comes from. ”
In the years that followed, the battle between the Terrans and the Night Ghost continued. But each sect fights for itself, and it is in charge of its own one-third of an acre of land. The night ghosts have taken up half of the world's territory. At that time, there were more great cultivators of the human race than now, and there were dozens of ten-rank grandmasters. They knew that if this continued, the Terrans would disappear from the world completely. ”
"Therefore, with the unanimous opinion of dozens of Ten Rank Grandmasters, a sect alliance was formed to fight in unison. And the leader of the sect alliance was the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. ”
When Yu Zhi heard this, he said with a smile: "This is because the founding emperor borrowed a fortune to have the current Great Chu Dynasty." "He always likes to think of people on the dark side.
Yan Yi didn't refute, "Maybe." But that's all for later. The important thing is that the monstrous disaster a thousand years ago was quelled, the human race paid a terrible price, countless sects were destroyed, and the Ten Rank Grandmasters almost died on the battlefield. Fortunately, the Terrans have won. ”
Dozens of Ten-Rank Grandmasters died on the battlefield... This sentence alone can make Yu Zhi imagine the tragic situation thousands of years ago.
The Ten Rank Grandmaster is the strongest cultivator in the world. They are all dead, let alone the people and mortals?
When Yan Yi said this, he was a little lucky and embarrassed. Fortunately, the Terrans won, otherwise, there would not be a scene of the two of them sitting here drinking.
Yu Zhi asked, "So where did these night ghosts come from?" ”
Yan Yi took a sip of wine, moistened her throat, and said, "I don't know." ”
"I don't know?" Yu Zhi was even more puzzled.
Yan Yi said: "There is no record of this matter in the ancient books of the Divine Hidden Pavilion. Back then, the Grandmaster fell, and at the cost of his life, he turned into a large array to seal the remaining night ghosts in a secret place. Now, a thousand years later, I am afraid that those seals have become extremely weak. ”
Yu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "There is no record in the Divine Hidden Pavilion. But there must be the truth in the Great Chu Palace. ”
The founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty would not be a fool, and after the end of the Great War, he would definitely track down the origin of the night ghosts. Otherwise, how can this country sit firmly?
