Chapter 165: Gambling on Life

It was dark and dark, and in Hongshi, Cheng Yan's army set up their tents and had a night meal, except for a few patrolling soldiers, everyone else went back to their tents, slept peacefully, and rested.

At this time, in a place next to the tent, a candle was shining, and I saw a man sitting on a big rock in a daze.

His eyes are so deep that it is impossible to see through his thoughts, and he is dressed in a military uniform, and there are a few wild flowers next to the big rock, which set off the night, making him like a statue of a sculptural god, and he is thinking about something.

Suddenly, he was startled, his hands were clenched very tightly, and the whole person entered another space, as if in a dream, and the big stone under him suddenly turned into a plane tree.

He stood under the plane tree, raised his head and looked, only to see that the tree looked yang, big and thick, but at the top of it, there was a black gas, sometimes hidden, sometimes appeared, there was no auspiciousness, and he began to be cautious.

Looking at the tree in front of him, his hand touched his waist, and his eyes glowed with golden light, looked at it again and again, and then suddenly shouted: "What strange are you, you actually introduced me Cheng Yan here?" ”

It turned out that the one who was sitting on the boulder was Cheng Yan, but now he saw the problem with his fiery eyes, and when he shouted like this, a black shadow appeared on the plane tree, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he could only hear his sneering voice.

When the black shadow sneered twice, he praised Cheng Yan in the air: "It's really not a loss to be the Demon General, I am hiding so secretly, I can be discovered by you, amazing!" That's amazing! ”

Cheng Yan was not polite, he was still cautious of the black shadow, and said: "Hmph, no matter what kind of ghost you are, what is the purpose of bringing me here today, I, Cheng Yan, will never let you go." After speaking, his hand came out of his waist, and the golden seal shone violently, and the golden light hit the black shadow.

I saw the black shadow dodge violently, and the golden light passed by, and then laughed twice, and said with contempt: "It is said that Cheng Yan is a man who stands up to the sky, I have a little admiration!" But now it seems that he is just an ignorant and reckless man, I really respected the wrong person and looked away! ”

After Cheng Yan heard this, he was bent on it, wanting to know the eyes of the black shadow, so he said: "I don't need to be polite to you ghost clan, if you want to survive, you can recruit me from the truth, what do you want to do here?" ”

The black shadow smiled: "Cheng Yan, don't be too arrogant, you can't kill me!" I'm here today, just to play a game with you, I don't have anything else to do, it's up to you to bet with me? ”

Cheng Yan asked, "What are you betting on?" ”

The black shadow spun twice in the air, and said confidently: "How about we bet on people's lives?" ”

Cheng Yan smiled and said: "You ghost, you can boast about Haikou, since ancient times, the life is determined by the sky, when to die, when to live, there is a fixed number, is it not up to you to decide?" ”

When the black shadow heard Cheng Yan say, he laughed out loud with a fierce "haha", and said: "Cheng Yan, Cheng Yan, you have lived in the world for more than 20 years, how can there be any certainty in this world!" Non-animal, non-human, non-material, which belongs to heaven and earth? Aren't they all forced by what they can't bear, destroyed by what they don't use, deceived what they can't, embarrassed without crying, relied on self-improvement, abandoned without repentance, and died of evil? ”

Cheng Yan said: "The strong are self-reliant, the weak are weak, the good are not evil, the evil is not bad, it has always been a law, evil is born from the heart, good is born from sorrow, this world, good and bad are not something we can distinguish, how can we gamble on the lives of others!"

The black shadow didn't feel anything, suddenly sneered, and said evilly: "Cheng Yan, whether you bet or not, this game has begun, half an hour later, I will kill your brother Sea Shark, but you want to save him, we will bet on this life, see if you are good at saving people, or if I am good at killing." After speaking, the black shadow suddenly turned around three times, and even the plane tree, all disappeared beside Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted angrily: "Evil ghost, don't hurt my brother, otherwise, I won't spare you!" After shouting, his side changed suddenly, and he shook his body and returned to the big rock, breaking out in a cold sweat, and stood up directly.

At this moment, Snow Lotus came in front of the camp, she held a bowl of soup in her hand, it seemed that she had not rested, and she was happy to come to Cheng Yan's side, but when she saw Cheng Yan's sweaty face, she immediately accepted her joy, and asked with concern: "Brother Cheng Yan, what happened?" ”

Cheng Yan heard Xuelian's voice, turned around, sat on the stone, and took the bowl of soup with one hand, drank it violently, and then said slowly: "I had a dream just now!" ”

Xue Lian wiped Cheng Yan's cold sweat and asked, "What kind of dream can make you so abnormal?" ”

Cheng Yan smiled, then straightened up again, and hurriedly said to Xue Lian: "This dream is related to sea sharks, we have to hurry to his tent, we can't let him be in any danger." After speaking, as soon as he pulled the snow lotus, who had not yet understood, he walked in the direction of the sea shark in the camp.

After a while, they arrived in front of the sea shark tent, and Cheng Yan asked a soldier to notify the other generals to come, and he shouted outside the tent: "Can the sea shark sleep?" ”

I saw a fire in the tent, and the sea shark replied, "I haven't rested yet, and the general has come in." ”

Cheng Yan and Xue Lian looked at each other, and without saying much, they opened the curtain and walked in, only to see the sea sharks greet each other, and called them both to a small table and sat down.

The sea shark was just about to ask Cheng Yan what was going on, and at the tent came in a bull head and horse noodles, as well as Meng Po and a few people, seeing that they were at the table, they all gathered and sat down one after another, all with questions on their faces.

Seeing that everyone was coming, the sea shark was more and more puzzled, looked at Cheng Yan, and asked, "General, I don't know why I asked everyone to come to my tent?" ”

Cheng Yan didn't hide it, and told everyone the scene of sitting in front of the big rock, being brought into a dream by a black shadow, and the so-called bets, and then they all understood.

Niu Tou said: "That ghost is really arrogant, our army is heavily guarded, how can he get in?" As I said, the spell of the sea shark was received by the master's father, and how could he kill it if he said it? ”

The sea shark laughed even more and said, "The general is really worried, it's just a dream, how can it be taken seriously!" After saying that, for half an hour, he couldn't even enter the door of the camp, so how could he kill me? And my sea shark is not so easy to die. ”

Meng Po said at this time: "The things in the dream can't be explained, there are true and false, but since the general can do this strange dream, it must be powerful, and we should take precautions." ”

Cheng Yan said: "No matter what, we can't relax, we will sit here tonight, as long as half an hour later, it will not be too late for us to leave." ”

After Cheng Yan finished speaking, he didn't speak, held the weapons, tightened all the guards, and sat like this, seeing that the menstrual period was almost half an hour away, but there was still no movement at all, which made everyone doze off unconsciously.

The sea shark suddenly said lazily: "Brothers, it is my honor to be able to fight with you, and now I feel warm to have you to protect me like this!" But I'm a sea creature and can't sit in front of the lamp for a long time, and now I want to close my eyes for a while and hope that my brothers will be perfect. ”

Ma Mian said confidently: "You just have to sleep with confidence!" With us here, we promise not to let that ghost hurt you in the slightest. ”

Groggy and dazed, everyone only cared about defense, and did not pay attention to the eyes of the sea shark, but after seeing the horse face finish speaking, the sea shark crawled on the table, and snored.

Yu Ming smiled: "Look at the sea shark tired, this has not yet fallen asleep, and it snores." ”

Everyone laughed, and Xue Lian said on the side: "There are still a few minutes to half an hour, we are holding on, and we can let the sea sharks have a good rest." After saying that, without saying much, everyone became upright again.

A few minutes, it can be regarded as slowly with torment, only to see the sea shark asleep, at this time he actually had a big dream, his body was floating, he was resting in the tent, but suddenly he reached the ocean, and then came to a volcano, which was so changeable that he suddenly breathed in it.

All of a sudden, the ocean roared, the volcano erupted, and it rushed towards him, and he was suddenly at a loss for what to do, looking at the water and fire rushing towards him, he suddenly became nervous, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, and suddenly said: "Don't!" "He was buried by fire and water, and died of pain.

And at this moment, Cheng Yan and everyone in the tent were guarding, and when they saw that half an hour had passed, they didn't wait for the ghost, they all had a false alarm, and the bull head said: "It seems that the general's dream is not a real dream, let's let the sea shark rest!" After saying that, he looked at the sea shark, and at this moment, he froze, and even the others froze.

I saw a sea shark, with its eyes closed and black, bleeding from its seven holes, its breath was nothing, its face was pale, and its body was stiff and died on the table.

Cheng Yan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Sea shark! Sea sharks! "I couldn't wake up.

Meng Po was even more anxious, went to the sea shark, listened to the heartbeat, took the pulse of her hand, and tried her breath, but there was no response, and she cried all of a sudden: "Sea shark! My son! Sea sharks! ”

Dead, the sea shark died, he died quietly in a dream, everyone was sad, carried him to the bed, crying, angry, they couldn't believe that the sea shark who had been fighting with them for so long died in front of their eyes!

Bit by bit, all the previous things came to their minds, and just when they were sad, a black gas came out of the sea shark's body, turned into a figure, and laughed behind them: "Cheng Yan, Cheng Yan, I can't even protect my own brother, how can I kill ghosts?" What a joke! Jokes! ”

When the bull head heard the sound, he immediately turned his head, only to see a black shadow, and suddenly said angrily: "I will kill you a god-killing evil ghost, watch my bull head eat you into my stomach, and avenge my brother." So saying, he rushed towards the black shadow.

But the black shadow didn't want to fight, dodged the bull's head, and looked at the people who turned around: "The sea shark can die today, tomorrow it will be you, Cheng Yan, we will meet!" With that, he disappeared violently.

Cheng Yan listened to those words, filled with grief and anger, chased after the tent, reached the open land, and shouted fiercely: "I will give you a devil, come out of me quickly, and return my brother's life!" Give back my brother's life! ”

The shouting shook the mountains and rivers, and the red stone was turbulent, but no matter how he shouted, he didn't shout out the ghost, so he slapped himself, took out the golden seal, and struck the ground, and the golden light appeared, and half of the red stone mountain was knocked to the ground and turned into pieces.

Xuelian led the crowd to hurriedly chase out, seeing Cheng Yan's grief and anger, but his heart and mind, Xuelian hurriedly went up, grabbed Cheng Yan's arm, and cried: "Brother Cheng Yan, the sea shark has just left, the ghost has not been eliminated, we still have to avenge the sea shark, you can't be like this!" ”

Cheng Yan sat on the ground all of a sudden, lost the golden seal, burst into tears, and said sadly: "What is the use of my Cheng Yan, I can't even protect my own brother, and what kind of face do I have to go to see Master!" ”

Everyone also arrived at this time, and Meng Po said to Cheng Yan: "Men are determined to be in all directions, there are winners and losers on the battlefield, and it is inevitable that some people will die, this is a certain number in the dark!" Cheng Yan, you must cheer up. ”

Yan Ming said at this time: "General, the two mermaid soldiers you sent just now came back, they said that the heavenly ghost only has 50,000 guards, and the guard's name is Wu'an, and he is the master of the dream hall of the ghost clan, as long as he is in a clean place, he can kill people in his dreams." Maybe the sea shark was killed by him in his dream! ”

Cheng Yan was slowly helped up by Snow Lotus on the ground, his tears were not lost, he didn't pay attention to anyone at this time, and only said: "I want to accompany the sea shark!" Then he walked slowly, towards the tent of the sea shark.

Seeing this, Meng Po said to everyone: "Just let the general calm down alone for a while, let's not bother, let's prepare for the aftermath of the sea shark!" After saying that, they all sighed, and they all entered the main tent together, and got busy.
