At noon, all the soldiers sat on the ground, waiting for the soup and rice to come, and they all wanted to fill their stomachs quickly, so that they could go to Weifeng to camp, sleep with him all night, and recuperate their spirits.

Some of the people in the army began to be drowsy, and their mouths were dry, and if they did not eat, they would not be able to sleep for a long time, and they would fall into the spit of hunger.

Cheng Yan on the side saw it in his eyes, but it was useless for him to be anxious, after all, Meng Po and the others had to make soup for an army of more than 140,000, and it would take an hour or two to say anything, so they could only go with the flow and wait for the soup to be cooked.

At this time, the head of the cow leaned on the shoulder of the horse face hungry, and said with his dry mouth: "It's strange today, on weekdays, the godmother makes soup, don't say much, two hours is fine, but now that two hours have passed, we are almost hungry and faint, why don't we have a good pot?" ”

Ma Mian didn't have any doubts, and said slowly: "What's strange about this, maybe it's because the firewood is not dry today, and the fire is not lit in a hurry, so it's just a little late, we are waiting!" ”

The sea shark said uneasily: "The long saying is good, good firewood is not afraid of rain, and today there is no rain and no wind, so how can the firewood be wet?" ”

After listening to the words of the sea shark, Yu Ming felt that it made sense, so he said: "The sea shark means that the food is not cooked today, and it must have been done by someone?" ”

Sea shark said: "When we come to this sand spit, there are stealth ghost soldiers, if we are careless, there are ghost soldiers who deliberately stealth practices, then how can this soup be cooked as we wish?" So, we have to guard against it! ”

When Cheng Yan heard what the sea shark said, he felt that it was reasonable, maybe it was really a ghost made by the ghost soldiers, so he wanted to go to Meng Po to see it in person, so he said: "In order not to let the ghost soldiers suspect that they have discovered him, you sit here and don't move, I will go and see for myself what is going on." ”

A few people didn't speak, they just sat still, but just as Cheng Yan was about to get up, Yu Ming next to him shouted softly: "General, slow down!" ”

Cheng Yan looked at Yan Ming at this time and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Ming asked, "General, since you know that the ghost soldier will be invisible, how can you lure him out and catch him?" ”

Cheng Yan smiled and said softly: "Back then, when I first met my master, he taught me spells and gave me golden seals, in order to subdue demons and keep the world peaceful!" And my golden seal has the light of all spirits, as long as it is illuminated, no matter how secret the ghost soldier is, it can still shake him to his knees and be unable to move. ”

After hearing this, everyone opened their mouths and praised, and each nodded, admiring Cheng Yan very much, and then said without saying, sitting quietly, waiting for Cheng Yan's good news.

Cheng Yan was also fast, stood up, pretended to be nothing, walked and walked, and without many steps, he arrived at the place where he was cooking, and then stopped in surprise.

I saw Meng Po and Huotoujun, who had already prepared the soup, put it in the pot and covered it, just waiting for the soup to be cooked and served.

But after entering the pot, as I just said, the firewood was like being drenched in the rain, and it was smoking, and there was no flame, which made the group of people who burned the fire anxious.

Some of them are crying because their mouths are ineffective, some are fans and can't fan them, some are still lighting firewood to burn, and some are even changing new firewood.

Cheng Yan came to Meng Po's side, stabilized her first, turned around, and pulled up the snow lotus in front of the dryness, but Cheng Yan was startled, and the snow lotus seemed to not know, and wondered: "General, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Yan looked at her ignorant and black face, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, and said, "It's okay, I saw a ghost." ”

Meng Po said: "Originally, I thought it was cooked rice, but I didn't expect to be delayed by this fire for a few hours, general, what should I do if I can't catch fire now?" ”

Cheng Yan made a gesture and motioned for Meng Po to get out of the way, and then, he took out the golden seal behind his back, and recited a spell in his mouth, and the golden seal showed a golden light.

I saw that after the golden light reached the big stone, a ghost appeared, he was wearing a white cotton coat, a pair of cotton shoes on his feet, not like a March dress, with a gold ingot around his neck, fangs out, a blood-red face, one ear, blue eyes, and long hair fluttering very scary.

Holding a sickle, but at this moment, he was illuminated by golden light, he could only speak, but he couldn't move, he looked at Cheng Yan in a daze and said, "How did you find me?" ”

When Cheng Yan heard this, he became more and more angry, it was because of him that the 140,000 army almost starved to death, and he didn't want to talk to him at all.

After receiving the golden seal, Cheng Yan looked at Meng Po and said: "Godmother, the ghost of blocking the fire is eliminated, you can make soup quickly, many soldiers are fainting with hunger, and it will be up to you now." ”

Meng Po "knows", so she didn't say more, turned around, recited a mantra, and raised her hands, and two fires came out, vigorous and burning, and within a few minutes, outside the lid of the pot, some true qi came out.

Seeing this, Xuelian on the side wanted to go to a bucket of water to get a piece of cloth, but unexpectedly, as soon as she passed, she screamed, and then without saying a word, her hands entered the water, and she immediately washed her face.

Cheng Yan looked at Xue Lian like that, and finally couldn't help it, laughed out loud on the side, and said: "Xue Lian, Xue Lian, for the sake of the army's food, you don't hesitate to disfigure and blow the fire, I really should take credit for you." ”

Xue Lian said: "Godmother, the general has started to make fun of me again!" ”

Meng Po smiled: "It's a young man after all!" Okay, come and help me, the soup is ready, let's share it with everyone! ”

After Cheng Yan and Xuelian heard this, they stopped what they were doing, hurried to the front, helped to fill the soup, and then called all the soldiers, lined up, and drank it.

In this way, the meal time took more than an hour, and everyone was much more energetic than just now, and they all stood straight, waiting for Cheng Yan's order.

Cheng Yan was in front of them at the moment, looked at him squarely, and said: "Soldiers, it's not that I, Cheng Yan, won't let you rest, but the ghost clan won't let you rest, so no matter whether you have enough to eat or not, you must go to Yifeng with me from now on to camp." ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all shouted, "Encamp!" Camp! ”

When Cheng Yan saw that it was good, he "set off", walked in front, followed by the army, and the speed was very fast, and he went in the direction of Weifeng.

This walk is also fast, out of the sand spit, it is a detour, big but not small, after walking for an hour, Cheng Yan led the army and stopped outside the peak.

Cheng Yan looked at the sun, only to see the strange peak, the real one is Jun, the wood on both banks, standing upright, the peaks on both banks, towering, steep cliffs and rocks, different shapes, wild flowers and wild grasses, bending back and waist, steep mountains and caves, strange and invisible.

In the middle of the peak, the wide land is 100 miles wide, enough to accommodate more than 300,000 people, a small spring is in it, there are fish swimming in the clear water, there are dragonflies, there are butterflies, and there are singing night cuckoos, varied, very prosperous.

After Cheng Yan saw it, he was happy in his heart, this place was much better than the sand spit, so he said: "This treacherous peak place is also spacious, it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack place, I looked at it again just now, and there is no sign of ghost soldiers, it is a good place for us to camp." ”

Yan Ming on the side was a little worried, and said to Cheng Yan: "General, the quieter the place, the more careful we must be, that ghost soldier is different from the previous ghost soldier, this is a group of ghosts that can be invisible, so I ask for help, or let me go into the Secret Peak to investigate and camp, right?" ”

After hearing this, Ma Mian also had an idea, and said: "General, what Yu Ming said is right, this group of ghost soldiers is indeed different, if you rush in like this, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, let me inquire with Yu Ming!" ”

The sea shark said at this time: "General, since this is the case, in my opinion, whoever is allowed to go, there will be danger, and I have a way to try to find out if there are ghost soldiers in ambush." ”

Cheng Yan hurriedly asked, "Sea shark, what can you do?" ”

The sea shark said: "General, when I was in the sea, I met a turtle, when his foot was injured, I cured him, and finally in order to repay me, he taught me one of his unique skills, called Zhishan Mountain." ”

Niu Tou didn't understand and asked, "What is Zhishan?" ”

Sea shark said: "Knowing Shandong, also known as the trick of appearance, as long as you know it, recite a mantra, the water will surge, ten thousand appear, there are images, spirits, light, like rain, as long as there are ghosts, you will die." ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yan unconsciously praised: "What a Zhishan, since it is so powerful, sea shark, then let's open our eyes!" ”

The sea shark said "yes", and walked to the front of the peak, his eyes were shining, and he suddenly jumped violently, and he was in the air, only to hear the mantra, and the sky without clouds suddenly showed many golden clouds, and they emitted golden light, like raindrops, and illuminated the peak.

Suddenly, under the illumination of the golden light, there were many screaming sounds from the land of the treacherous peak, and they were all full of resentment, eager to eat Cheng Yan and the others, but there was no way, they were illuminated by the golden light, even if they couldn't move, they died quickly.

After a while, the screams finally stopped, and all the ghost soldiers of Weifeng were also dealt with, and there was no trouble, and the sea shark dispersed the golden cloud in the air, fell, and arrived at Cheng Yan's side.

The bull head asked, "General, can we go in now?" ”

Cheng Yan said with a smile: "The Sea Shark has solved all the stealth ghost soldiers with the Sutra, and now we don't have to worry about it at all, so we can go in." ”

Xue Lian said: "Then general, let's go!" ”

Cheng Yan said "yes" and began to leave, leading the 140,000 troops behind him to slowly march towards Yifeng.

After entering, Cheng Yan immediately ordered rectification, and then ordered everyone to start camping and settling down, just like that, within three hours, the camp of Weifeng was ready, and all the soldiers finally rested.

Cheng Yan entered every tent and looked at every soldier with concern, they were all gods of war, the gods of war of the Celestial Empire, in his heart, only by driving the ghost clan out of the world, the Celestial Empire could be peaceful and the people could be happy.

After the patrol was completed, Cheng Yan was also a little sleepy, so he called out two bird soldiers on the side and said to them: "You two go to Tuocheng quickly, who is the person guarding the city, come and report to me after finding out." ”

The two bird soldiers said "yes", then turned around, and went outside, turned into birds, and flew to Tuocheng.

Cheng Yan saw that the two of them were gone, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell, then dozed off, and walked towards his tent, but he didn't come out.
