Chapter 2: Strange Things

Wu Lu fled back to the Nanbing military camp and hid in his own tent.

The two soldiers in the tent were startled and asked, "Carefree, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you have violated military discipline and will be questioned by the general?"

"Get out!" Wu Lu was confused, and he didn't care about the mud all over his body and sat on his bed.

"Woman, demon?" Wu Lu had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and finally decided that this matter must be reported to General Luo or his uncle Wu Weizhong.

"Carefree, you won't provoke any evil things, right?" The one who spoke was an old man in his thirties, named Yang Peng, who was born as a dartman, and was sheltered by General Luo Shen because of his crimes, so he became a family member and joined the army. Because he is well-informed, he often tells some strange stories to the soldiers, so he is deeply supported by the soldiers.

Yang Peng, who had just entered the camp, couldn't help but joke when he saw Wu Lu's pale face and unyielding appearance.

To Yang Peng, Wu Lu didn't dare to speak ill of him, he said angrily: "What kind of evil thing? In this blue sky, even if there are demons and monsters, they don't dare to show up..."

"Look, it's lonely again!" Yang Peng took off his cloth armor and sat down on the marching bed: "If you want to say that this evil thing that comes out of the blue sky and white sun is the real demonic energy..."

As soon as the soldiers heard it, they knew that Yang Peng was going to tell a story again, so they immediately gathered around and coaxed: "Old Yang, what are you talking about the evil things and demons..."

Yang Peng snatched half of the cake from the hands of the soldiers on the side, took a bite and said, "That was when Emperor Longqing was here, and it has been more than 20 years since now. It is said that my father made a friend when he was dart, and he lived in a small town on the edge of the official road in Jingzhou, and the town was not big, with about 200 families..."

"My father's friend was sleepy by nature, and he had to sleep three poles a day, and when he woke up one day, he called his family to deliver food, but no one responded, and he called many times, but still no one responded, so he got up to see what was going on. But I searched the whole house, but I didn't see anyone. The teapot was still boiling water, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard were half swept away, as if the people were still there. So he became suspicious, and went out into the street, and there was no one in the street, and the shops were open, and there were all the goods, but there was no living thing. There was not a single living person in the whole town, as if the whole town had disappeared except him. My father's friend was frightened, and hurriedly took a plate of rations and planned to escape from the town, but when he arrived at the entrance of the town, he saw a familiar person standing still, and when he got closer, he was stuck in the middle of the road barrier. He hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and saw that the man's eyes were closed, his eyebrows were locked, and he didn't say a word, as if he was sleepwalking, which was quite weird. Helping to push open the road barrier, the man kept walking forward, followed him to the intersection of the north of the town, and found that there was a big ditch in front of him, and the man in front of him suddenly accelerated and jumped into the ditch, but he didn't have time to stop it. When he went to the ditch, he collapsed to the ground in fright. The people and animals of the whole town are in its ditch, the blood is boiling, the flesh is blurred, the skin is open, and the smell is fishy. He was so frightened that he got up and fled out of town. After escaping for an hour, the sky and earth shattered in the direction of the town, and the whole town disappeared into gray smoke. Afterwards, he went to Jingzhou to report to the officials, and the people in the government were afraid that this strange thing would be judged by the officials of the DPRK and the central government to be a catastrophe from heaven, and blame the local officials for preying on the people, so they concealed it, and only said that it was the earth dragon turned over. Helpless, he could only leave his hometown and take refuge in his father for a while..."

The soldiers were terrified when they heard this, and even Wu Lu on the side turned pale again when they heard it.

It turns out that there is really such a bizarre and terrifying thing in this world, the boxes of white bones just now, and the black-robed woman... Could it really be a demonic monster?

Yang Peng was very satisfied with everyone's performance, took out the water bladder after nibbling the cake, poured a mouthful, and suddenly pointed behind everyone with a frightened face and shouted: "What are you? Why did you suddenly appear?"

When everyone heard this, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and they had the courage to stiffen their necks and look behind them, but they were empty, and they didn't see the slightest evil thing at all, and when they turned back, they only heard Yang Peng laugh loudly: "Just the rat gall of you Qiu Ba, are you embarrassed to come to North Korea to earn military merits?" ha..."

All the soldiers reacted that they were scolded by Yang Peng, and they all scolded and dispersed. And Wu Lu was still indulging in the horror brought by the black-robed woman, and in Yang Peng's eyes, he was even more disdainful, this Wu Weizhong's little nephew was really a silver-like wax spear head, and it was useless.

Yang Peng patted Wu Lu's shoulder with a big grin and said, "Your kid's courage really needs to be practiced..."

Wu Lu hesitated for a moment, and was about to tell Yang Peng what he had just done, but at this moment, there was an uproar in the camp, and many soldiers rushed around to tell each other.

"What's wrong?" Yang Peng's face tightened, and he hurriedly put on his cloth armor, walked out of the camp tent and began to restrain the order of the pro-soldier camp.

When Wu Lu followed out of the pro-military camp, he only heard some pawns excitedly talking around: "If you want me to say that General Li Ning Li is really a tiger guts, twenty-three Japanese people were led by General Li as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and they cut off fifteen heads on the spot, tsk, it's really exciting to watch!"

"Those Japanese people are here to make envoys, so they are not afraid that Admiral Li will blame them?"

"Whatever! General Li Ning is a favorite general under Admiral Li, if you want me to say that I shouldn't wait for those Japanese people to negotiate peace, this winter's march thousands of miles to North Korea, the territory where birds don't, if you don't fight a battle, you will go back, don't you panic?"

...

It turned out that the Japanese army general Konishi Yuki, who was entrenched in Pyongyang, sent a delegation of 23 people under the mediation of the Ming envoy Shen Weijing to negotiate peace, and I don't know what Shen Weijing promised to the Japanese people, and these Japanese people happily came to the Ming camp and shouted to see Admiral Li.

General Li Ning's mallet lost a lot of money because of gambling and playing in the army just now, and General Li did not call him, he was sulking outside the camp, and when he heard the Japanese people shouting, he thought that he had come to call for battle, and immediately led a group of family soldiers to cut and kill indiscriminately, slaughtered fifteen, arrested one, and left seven soles of their feet to be oiled and slipped.

When Li Rusong rushed to the front of the camp with the generals in a hurry, he happened to see Li Ning, who was arrogant and asked the battalion officers to check the number of heads to report his military merits.

Li Rusong was trembling by this popular hand, and shouted at the generals: "Take down this idiot for me!

Li Rusong's younger brother Li Rubai and Li Ning have always been good friends, and when they heard that they were going to cut off Li Ning's head, they hurriedly took the lead and shouted that Li Rusong spared Li Ning's life, and all the Liaodong generals also begged him to forgive.

Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi glanced at each other helplessly, and followed the generals and officials to persuade: "Admiral Li raised his noble hand, General Li Ning and Li did not participate in the plan, and those who don't know are not guilty!"

Listening to the loud persuasion of the generals, Li Rusong's anger retreated slightly, and he only glared at Li Ning fiercely.

General Li Ning's mallet also reacted, knowing that Li Rusong's big deal had been ruined, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.

Li Rusong sighed: "That's it, it's just that the official layout is not tight, drag this guy down and beat the fifteenth army stick!" Li Rusong sighed, beckoned Shen Weijing behind him and whispered: "Mr. Shen, you see this is a trouble, the previous layout is all nullified!"

Shen Weijing has a short and medium figure, a chubby big face, and a pair of triangular eyes full of cunning shrewdness. He said in a straight voice: "Admiral, don't worry, Shen has already figured out the way to deal with the Japanese people, but he just killed fifteen of them by mistake, and I can go to mediate again, and the previous layout may be able to be used again..."

"Then there is Mr. Lao Shen..."Li Rusong bowed his hand.

Seeing the heads of the Japanese people rolling in front of the camp, Shen Weijing's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he immediately retreated to the camp to write a letter to President Konishi.

Li Ning's accidental killing of the Japanese people is such a big thing and a small matter, in fact, if you think about it, you can know this result, after all, Li Rusong has always protected the calf, and the persuasion of the generals just now is nothing more than a play on the spot.

After the generals dispersed, Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi returned to the camp together. Previously, Li Rusong stopped them for the layout of Pyongyang's First World War, and planned to confuse Konishi Yukichang in the name of peace, sneak into Pyongyang with Zhejiang soldiers as the vanguard, and seize the fortress of the city wall while Pyongyang is unprepared...... As a result, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and before the layout was explained, the Japanese delegation that came to negotiate peace was cut down by Li Ning under Li Rusong.

When Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi walked to the front of the southern military camp, they saw Wu Lu pacing back and forth thoughtfully.

As soon as Wu Lu saw Wu Weizhong and them coming back, he hurriedly introduced the military tent and told him everything about the black-robed woman.

After hearing this unbelievable thing, Wu Weizhong frowned and said: "I heard that when Admiral Li pacified Ningxia, he was awarded a capable man, and it is rumored that he has the ability to take the head of the enemy in the camp of ten thousand soldiers, but I don't know that it is a woman...... It's still a demon girl. ”

However, Luo Shangzhi said with a big grin: "Nonsense, if you really have that ability, why do you need me to wait for the generals? Why do you still play conspiracy and tricks to defraud Pyongyang City? If you want me to say, it is Li Rusong who got a woman in Ningxia who is well versed in bed, indulged in it, and said that he was a capable person in order to block the eyes and ears of the generals. ”

Wu Weizhong shook his head, and then smiled slightly.

"But what's the matter with those human bones?" Wu Lu heard that the two of them didn't take it seriously at all, and hurriedly reminded.

"Admiral Li has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he has a close relationship with the leaders of various tribes in Liaodong, thinking that he is raising some witch Gu people, and using some demagogic techniques to win the hearts of those tribesmen, just like the lama of Wusizang uses human bones to make magic weapons..."Wu Weizhong explained.

Wu Lu could only sigh when he heard this, and then retired, he decided to tell Yang Peng about it, and listen to his analysis, after all, Yang Peng is well-informed, and he may know where the black-robed woman came from.

Hundreds of zhang away, in the tent of the Chinese military camp and the black-robed woman's tent, several Jurchen soldiers dragged the corpses of the fifteen Japanese people with their heads cut off to the middle of the tent, and the original white bone array had disappeared, replaced by a deep earth pit. After the Jurchen soldiers threw the corpses of the Japanese into the pit, some of them withdrew from the camp in horror.

The black-robed woman sat on the futon, closed her eyes and smiled.

"This kid really doesn't stop, tossing back and forth to find out if I'm a ghost or not..."The black-robed woman suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were tactful, and she looked at the direction of Wu Law's tent with some amusement, and said to herself: " The exotic aura here is thin, and the cultivation materials are scarce, but there are still quite a lot of spiritual root owners, since I have made up my mind to go back, it is better to bring a group of qualified spiritual root owners back, although I don't accept apprentices, but I can sell them to those elders of the Wu clan's own sect as apprentices or even Ding Furnace, or bring Kunyue Tianlan to these famous cultivation sects in exchange for some useful talismans, magic weapons, spirit beasts, and the like..."

After thinking for a while, the black-robed woman made up her mind, with the help of powerful figures like Li Rusong, it was not difficult to find some boys and girls with spiritual roots.

She stood up and smiled softly at the corpse of the widow in the pit, not disgusting at all, and patted the small bag around her waist, only to see a blood-red strange snake crawling out of it, it had three snake heads.

The strange snake with three heads saw the corpses full of pits, and excitedly swam into the pit with a letter, drilling in here, drilling out there, and it didn't take long for the corpses in the pit to become bloody and blurry, like a flesh and blood spring, and the fishy atmosphere was soaring to the sky.

If Yang Peng saw this scene, he would definitely be frightened, isn't this the strange thing he just described?

The bloody atmosphere in the air became thicker and thicker, and the faces of the Liaodong soldiers of the Jurchen Department guarding the door of the camp tent became more and more pale, thinking about what was happening in the tent, this was a hundred times more terrifying than the battlefield battle.

At this time, Wu Lu was flustered in his bed, he had just told Yang Peng about the woman in the black robe.

Yang Peng said with a straight face, Wu Lu, you're finished, you're being targeted by ghosts, she can't do anything about you during the day, maybe she will come to cramp and peel you at night, these demons and monsters like you the most...

At this moment, Wu Lu was not carefree at all, and was thinking about whether the black-robed monster really had a plot against him.

This night, it was sleepless.
