Mosaic stared back at him.

The eyes are wide and the eyes are fierce.

Eight Meow landed on the ground and turned around and used his hind paws to dig the ground.

Suddenly the dust flew up, and a streak of dirt spilled onto Mosaic's face.

Mosaic quickly closed his eyelids and reached out to rub his eyes: "Who, who sprinkled dirt on my face?"

Wang Qilin pushed him away and said: "Take these tigers away, this official has killed the white tiger, the tiger spirit here is just an ordinary tiger, it is not worth mentioning, this official does not want to bully the weak." ”

Mosaic suppressed his anger and said, "Han people, you are offending my Li greedy village!"

Wang Qilin asked: "Do you want to offend the imperial court?" This official threw his words here, you can go back and tell your lord to listen, as for whether you believe it or not, it is your own business!"

"Remember, don't provoke my court, otherwise you don't need the court to send troops, and the soldiers under this official can slaughter their cottages until the chickens and dogs are left!"

His words were squeezed out from between his teeth, and the suppressed evil breath made people shudder.

It's not that he is cold and arrogant, but he checked before entering the mountain, the people in the mountains don't like to be reasonable, let alone learn any Confucian etiquette, righteousness and shame, they like to talk with their fists.

Therefore, the best way to solve the problem in the mountains is to counter violence with violence!

Mosaic snorted, turned around and whistled and left with the white-haired and black-striped tiger.

The biggest and strongest tiger was so fierce that it didn't want to leave, and stabbed him with a deep and hideous gaze.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin smiled.

He shouted, "Aba, teach it a lesson!"

The tiger immediately blew up its fur and slapped the ground with its front paws, and it lowered its upper body and stared at Wang Qilin with blazing eyes, ready for battle.

The tiger tail with black stripes on a white background is like an iron whip, and when it is pumped vigorously in the air, there is a loud roar.

Then it scratched the chrysanthemum thorn.

The big chrysanthemum is heavy, and it hurriedly subconsciously looks back.

Vaguely, it saw a black cat appear behind it, and the cat man stood behind it and held its front paws in a fist salute:

The seniors are better, and the younger ones are staring at the crotch cat!

Its tail picked up two fluffy, black balls and flew up, and then it rose to its feet and grabbed one of the black fur balls with a thunderous claw and slapped it under the crotch with lightning speed.

The crotch chicken is decided!

The tiger clamped its legs as hard as a sissy, its head rushing into the sky, its mouth wide open, its eyes wide and let out a wail: "Ahhhhh

After the egg was broken, the tiger's roar became charming.

Eight Meow landed neatly, and then its upper body fell down, wagging its tail, licking its lips and walking back in cross-steps.

More tiger than tiger.

The mosaic flew over and shouted, "Damn! what are you doing?"

Eight meows are too black and too small, and the tiger's body blocks its tracks, and this person didn't see it move just now.

Tiger Spirit doesn't speak, he only knows how to scream with his hind legs between his legs.

A military man couldn't bear to say: "It really hurts to get this place, I'm here, cough cough is that I have a big brother Jiao once was swept with a gun, and he almost fainted on the spot." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin was in awe: "That military master, you will definitely become fierce and fearless of death later!"

The soldier nodded at him in a daze, and said: "What the official said is right, after Brother Jiao came to his senses, he was really angry, he killed ghosts, beheaded twelve in a battle, and cut the soul of the barbarians. ”

Wang Qilin said: "This can be expected, because a testicle is bold. ”

If the soldiers are not educated, how can they understand the connotation of this sentence?

However, they knew that Wang Qilin was a friendly army, and thought that he was praising his own side, so the military man clasped his fists and said, "The official has praised it falsely." ”

They were chatting casually here, and Mosaic was furious, but he didn't dare to make a move, so he could only stare at Wang Qilin fiercely and shout: "I remember you!"

Eight Meow turned his head to see that his eyes widened again, and immediately kicked the dust again and flew towards the mosaic.

Mosaic hurriedly waved his hand to swing away the flying dirt, dragging the huge tiger into the deep forest.

The mournful roar of the tiger has been sounding for a long time......

Zhou Shenjun hugged his fists and said with a smile: "The blue blood army under the command of the old king of Huan joined the army Zhou Heng, thank you for your help, in the evening, we didn't know Mount Tai and refused to let the adults out of the door, it was really ashamed and ashamed." ”

Wang Qilin said: "You have important things to do, and we are meeting in Pingshui, so it is normal for you to be vigilant. ”

Zhou Senjun smiled bitterly: "Pingshui met, but it was a blessing for three lives." ”

"Let's not be polite," Wang Qilin stretched out his hand and said, "Do you soldiers still have to hurry up? If you want to hurry, then don't waste time on politeness, please." ”

Zhou Shenjun said: "Adults understand, thank you again, if it weren't for the adult's action tonight, I am afraid that we will be in big trouble, and the old man will thank you again." ”

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "The road is uneven, and there are people who step on it, but you are a good soldier who is loyal to the country, and the locals dare to stop you, it is really bold." Fortunately, the official has been beaten by the court, and now he has a kind temper, otherwise according to the official's temperament in the early years, he would have beheaded the Jiuli people earlier to show the power of the saint. ”

He gestured again and accompanied them on the night walk.

Zhou Heng politely said that the night was dark and would not disturb Lord Wang, and asked the Lord to go back and rest.

Wang Qilin said: "I'm afraid what I did just now has angered the Jiuli people, if they want to come back for revenge, they will inevitably order more manpower, and then the trouble for your soldiers will probably be even greater, so why don't you let me see you off all the way?"

Zhou Zhou Heng said: "How embarrassing is this?"

Wang Qilin said frankly: "If it's inconvenient, then forget it." ”

Zhou Heng said urgently: "How can it be inconvenient? The old man is just afraid of delaying the rest of the adults at night." ”

They're on the road again, this time with pressure on them, they're faster.

I don't know if it's the endurance of the soldiers or what's going on, they have been walking on the road behind without resting.

The group walked all night, and when it was almost dawn, a cottage of stilted buildings appeared behind a plantain grove.

The fifth brother of Yang was overjoyed when he saw this, and said with a smile: "It's here, it's time for us to rain and dew village." We have the most plantain in our rain and dew village, and every morning there are dewdrops on the plantain leaves, we collect the dew to make wine. ”

Zhou Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Okay, Jiao Dachong, you led the brothers to guard outside the village, and the brothers who carried the team entered the village with the old man." ”

He waved his hand back, and four short and sturdy soldiers lifted the wooden box and followed silently.

At this time, it was not yet light, but many people in the village had already gotten up early to bring bamboo tubes to collect dew.

This livelihood mostly depends on women and the elderly, and the fifth brother of Yang ran into the village and stepped on the bluestone path and waved his arms happily and shouted: "Second master, I'm back, the fifth brother of Ah Xu's family is back." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Heng bowed to the old gentleman and said, "Second master, I will give you a salute." ”

The old man looked at them in amazement and said in a muffled voice, "Ah, is the fifth brother back?

Fifth Brother Yang smiled: "They are all my comrades-in-arms and officers in the army. ”

He called out to the others, and whenever he shouted a salutation, Zhou Heng would follow suit.

The fifth brother led the way, and they walked quickly to a dilapidated and decadent stilted building.

It is estimated that the people in the village have never seen so many strangers carrying burdens and wooden boxes into their own villages in their lives, so they chased after them together to see the excitement.

The fifth brother of the sheep rushed into the house like a nest and shouted: "Mother, the fifth son is back, the son is back!"

There were two beds in the room, a young girl sleeping on the outer bed and an old lady sleeping on the inner bed.

The old lady should have heard her son's voice a long time ago, she groped and sat up and was turning her face sideways to the window to listen, when the fifth brother Yang entered the door and shouted, she suddenly burst into tears:

"Wu'er is back, are you back? are you really back?"

The girl on the bed outside got up when she heard the sound, rubbed her eyes and asked with concern, "Grandma, what's wrong? Why did you sit up? How can you still sit up? Ah, it's not good!"

In the creaking sound, Zhou Shenjun stepped on the bamboo ladder and went upstairs, he waved his hand to the girl and said, "Girl, please stop." ”

The girl looked at the old woman with her hands clasped and crying, and looked at Zhou Shenjun and Wang Qilin in surprise, and asked, "You, who are you? Where are you from?"

Wang Qilin beckoned to her and said, "We are not bad people, girl, come out first, don't be inside." ”

The girl looked at them in a panic and hesitated, and Zhou Senjun said heavily: "We are comrades-in-arms of the five brothers of the Yang family, and we are here to send them home to reunite with their mother." ”

"What about them?" asked the girl, wide-eyed.

Zhou Senjun smiled bitterly: "Please come out to see them." ”

The soldiers carrying the burdens stayed outside the village, and only the soldiers carrying wooden boxes came in.

The soldiers silently put away the military flag, and below was a wooden box.

When the wooden box was opened, there were stacks of daily necessities such as clothes and shoes, as well as many sacrificial items such as paper money, paper people, and paper horses.

Zhou Senjun twisted his waist and turned around to step on the fight, and swept past the military man who stood upright after putting away the military flag, his palm swept over, and the masks on the faces of these people fell, revealing four miserable white faces.

There is a face with a broken arrow stuck in the right eye, and another face has a big gap.

He put away the mask and cut his index finger to draw a charm on it with the blood of his fingertips, and the runes flashed, and a faint and blurry black shadow came out of a military man's body through the mask with the runes, and then disappeared.

Four runes, four dark shadows disappear.

Only four corpses stood in place, stunned.

Seeing this, the girl's knees fell to the ground: "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, what's wrong with them?"

Zhou Shenjun lowered his head in pain and said: "Immortal, remnant!"

The girl looked at him blankly, she couldn't understand these two sentences, but she understood what was going on with the four of them.

She took two steps forward, grabbed Zhou Shenjun's shirt, looked up at him expectantly, and asked, "What about my brother? What about the fifth brother Yang? Is he okay? Is he still alive?"

Zhou Senjun smiled sadly.

The girl Bingxue was smart, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Among the people who followed, the old lady said: "What kind of stupid thing does the pure girl say, of course the little five of Ah Xuniang's family is still alive, I saw him just now." ”

The girl looked at him with wide eyes and expectation, and she was about to inquire eagerly, when she heard the other villagers say:

"The second master is dizzy, we have been together, how have you seen Xiao Wu?"

"Where is Xiao Wu? He hasn't come back, he must still be in the ranks of the army. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Wu was the first to enter the village just now, and he called me to come......" The second master shouted angrily.

When they heard this, the people immediately stopped talking.

The yang energy of the dying person is thin and weak, and the soul of the deceased can be seen.

The second master immediately thought of this, and he froze before he finished speaking, and then looked at Zhou Shenjun.

Zhou Shenjun said in a low voice: "The Yang family has five strong men......"

"No, it's impossible!" the girl interrupted him with a scream as she wiped her tears, "Brother said that he used to earn military merits in the army to marry me!"

"He's fine, he'll be fine, just, two days ago, two days ago, three days ago, I also received a letter from him, he said that he was coming back soon, and he could marry me when he came back!"

Wang Qilin remembered a poem he once saw in "The Complete Interpretation of Tang Poems", swearing to sweep away the Huns without regard for himself, and five thousand mink brocade mourned Hu Chen. Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream.

It's better than that.

The first time he saw this group of people, he saw that the fifth brother of the sheep was a ghost, he was dead, but he didn't seem to realize that he was dead, and he behaved like a normal person.

As for the fact that these people in the team were all dead people, Xie Toad could see it as early as the first time they met.

Xie Toad told him at the time that Zhou Zhou Heng was a corpse chaser, and he was a very powerful corpse chaser, who could borrow souls to enter corpses:

Borrowed from the soul of a normal person to send into the corpse, such a corpse can behave similar to ordinary people, as well as consciousness, and can speak.

This is a very high realm in the corpse chasing.

Now the soldiers who carry the burden outside are the same as the four brothers of the Yang family, all of them are corpses.

These corpses should contain a soul of the soldiers of the Blue Blood Army, the soldiers are loyal and courageous, the blood is vigorous, and the soul cohesion is extremely strong, which is very suitable for being drawn out by the corpse craftsmen to lend the corpses for temporary use.

Obviously, every time Zhou Zhou Heng sent the corpse of a martyr back to his hometown, he would extract one of the souls attached to it, and then send him back to his master with Taoism.

The tiger driven by the mosaic just now is a tiger spirit, which was condensed by extracting the soul of the tiger when it was alive.

The tiger spirit is strong and fierce, it can be used to block the yin evil and sneaky, and the cry has a great deterrent effect on the yin ghosts, and the fifth brother of the sheep will be subconsciously afraid after hearing it.

This is an uncontrollable fear, referred to simply as bloodline suppression.

There are many demons and monsters in the mountains, and they should be refined by the mages in Li Greedy Village to protect the people in the countryside.

So Wang Qilin didn't embarrass the mosaic just now, but just scared him a few words to let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

The girl was so out of breath that a woman hurried to give her relief.

Zhou Hengqiang endured his grief and said lonely: "I'm really sorry, girl, the old man failed to send the fifth brother back safely." However, he didn't go to the reincarnation of the Yin Division, he can still see you, and the old man can take you to say goodbye to him. ”

Wang Qilin's heart moved when he heard this.

He waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, girl, don't be in a hurry to be sad, Brother Zhou doesn't have to be in a hurry to deal with the aftermath of the Yang brothers, can you tell me about this fifth brother of the sheep first, what's going on with him?"

Zhou Zhou Heng said: "The frontier of the imperial court has always been tight, and there are many barbarians in the southwest border, and their combat power is amazing. However, the climate there is different from our Central Plains, there are many miasma, there are many Gu poisons, and our Central Plains soldiers are not satisfied with water and soil, and it is difficult to take on a big task. ”

Later, King Huan recruited soldiers in the mountains and forests in Jingshu, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, and promised military merits and high salaries, indicating that young and middle-aged people who were accustomed to living in the mountains went to the southwest border to serve as an army, so as to create a group of elite soldiers in the mountains and forests to guard the southwest of the imperial court. ”

"If you know about these places, you will know that the local people live in extreme poverty, and it is a luxury to have enough to eat, let alone save money to do something. Therefore, King Huan recruited troops in these places, and the people were very cooperative, because King Huan was paid in advance, and the soldiers had no worries, and they went to be soldiers by themselves, and the whole family could live a good life. ”

"The sheep brothers went to five!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Why did their family go so much?

Zhou Zhou Heng looked at the stilted building in a distracted manner, and said: "Lack of money, but not very short of money, the old lady of the Yang family is a righteous woman, she learned that the imperial court recruited troops in the mountains and forests to defend the frontier, so she ordered her five sons to go to Jingzhong to serve the country." ”

The second grandfather trembled and said with a sheep's beard: "Ah Xuniang's family moved from the southwest border, and the southwest barbarians robbed the people of my Celestial Dynasty all year round, and their family suffered from it, so King Huan wanted to come to recruit troops to defend the southwest border, and she learned the news and said that this is God who asked her children to defend their hometown." ”

Zhou Zhou Heng nodded and said: "But she didn't publicize this matter widely, maybe everyone in the village knew about it, but the recruiter didn't know, because the five brothers were taken away from the five people's homes at that time." ”

The second master wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said: "Yes, Ah Xu Niang has great righteousness, except for the boss's salary, she left it for living expenses, and the other four babies' salaries were given by her to the four families, which are the four poorest families in our village, and they all rely on their salaries to survive." ”

Zhou Zhou Heng continued: "The five brothers of the Yang family are strong, brave and good at fighting, although they cannot be said to have performed miraculous feats in the army, they are also first-class elite soldiers. ”

"Last month, a major battle planned by the imperial court broke out for many days, this is the Battle of Quarry Pass, have you ever heard of this bloody battle on the frontier?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "I'm lonely. ”

Zhou Yiheng smiled bitterly: "My lord is humble, the battle of Quarry Pass is indeed an important bloody battle for my southwest border, but it is not famous for the people and officials in other parts of the country. ”

"This battle is extremely tragic, the quarry pass is the strongest pass in the Jiaozhi country, King Huan planned for two years, and the court carefully arranged for several months before starting this battle. ”

"After three days and three nights, the 28,000 warriors of the Blue Blood Army died 20,000, and only less than 30% remained, and there were 100,000 soldiers from other ranks. ”

After the war, King Huan personally supervised the martyrs, and someone found the connection between the names of the brothers of the Yang family, and King Huan quickly investigated the matter, only to learn that the five brothers were actually a family. ”

"But by that time, all five brothers had already died in battle!"

"The eldest of the sheep family has found the corpse of the fourth brother, but the corpse of the fifth brother of the sheep is missing, the army did not find his corpse with great effort, but found his soul, he seems to not know that he is dead, and he is still ...... like ordinary people"

"Then my brother is not dead, he is normal!" said the girl expectantly.

Zhou Zhou Heng looked at the girl with pity and said, "He can't see the sun, he can't go to a place where the yang energy is too strong, and he can't see the fire." ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "He can no longer contact with living people who are too yang, and he can't shake hands or hug! In fact, people with too strong yang energy can't see him unless he has yin and yang eyes, and you didn't see him when he entered the house just now." ”

The girl wept bitterly.

Wang Qilin asked, "Then what's going on with him?"

Zhou Zhou Heng smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I am old, there are many talented people in the army, but none of them can explain his situation." ”

But he still seemed to be alive, and Huan Wang Feishu sent a message to inquire about the general situation of his family, thinking about how to deal with this matter, but what he inquired about was that Mrs. Yang was seriously ill. ”

King Huan mourned, so he sent the old man to bring back their brothers and the heroic spirits who had died in battle from the surrounding villages. The old man rested during the day and hurried at night, and the waterway vehicles and horses changed lanes, during which there was no danger, and he finally lived up to his mission. ”

After he finished speaking, the courtyard was silent, only the women sobbed sadly.

Zhou Zhou Heng looked up at the window and muttered: "Mencius: Devoted to the Heart" said - a gentleman has three joys, and the king does not exist with the world. Parents exist, brothers have no reason, one is happy, look up to the sky, bow down to others, two happiness, get the world's talents and educate them, three happiness. ”

Look up to the sky, bow down to people......

So when Fifth Brother Yang asked him where this sentence came from, he changed the subject.

Because he couldn't tell the fifth brother of the sheep, this was the second of Mencius's three joys, and there was also a first joy in front of him: 'both parents exist, and brothers have no cause'.

And this first music is too cruel for the fifth brother of the sheep.
