"Rest assured... You also know my physique. It's not that easy to die. Li Zhi lay on the ground and didn't forget to comfort Li Tong, because he really couldn't stand Li Tong's appearance of wanting to cry but trying to hold back his tears. Two big men, this scene is really twisted.

"Good. Li Tong nodded, but he still stared at Li Zhi's chest very uneasily, as if if he stared harder, the wound would recover faster.

"Don't look at me! Go and see what's on the other side of the alley, these three ghosts are guarding this place all along. There's definitely something unusual in there. ”

"Well, then I'll go and see, you rest here. Li Tong put the knife in Li Zhi's hand. Then he got up and walked over.

Rao has experienced so much, Li Tong couldn't help but retch when he saw the scene in front of him. The corpses in this yard were piled up almost at the level of the building, and the strange thing was that there was not a trace of smell before crossing the alley.

But once it was over, the pungent smell of internal organs, the smell of rotting corpses, came to my face. Apparently some of these corpses belonged to people who had been dead for a long time, while others still had bright red blood flowing from them, apparently having just died.

In such a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Li Tong saw a figure wriggling among the corpses, and he took two steps closer to see clearly. This "man" is munching on these corpses, and has eaten this mountain of corpses out of a semicircular hollow.

It's a ghost eating.

At this time, the ghost seemed to sense Li Tong's approach. As he turned around, he raised an arm in his hand. "Obscurity... hinder..."

Li Tong could hardly believe his ears, the ghost actually spoke! This is beyond the common sense he learned in the Zhen'an Division. A terrible thought flashed through Li Tong's head, but, at the same time, he instinctively drew his knife. It doesn't matter if you can speak, stop it, and kill it again.

After watching Li Tong walk in, Li Zhi just thought that he could close his eyes for a while, when he heard a loud "bang", and Li Tong broke a wall in the alley and flew out. Lying on the ground, he couldn't stand up.

In an instant, panic struck again, and he wanted to use the knife to prop himself up, but after taking a few steps, there was a sharp pain in his chest, so that Li Zhi could barely hold the knife, and he fell to the ground after missing his hand. Then climb by hand. He crawled over with his knife and with his hand.

Li Tong turned his head and saw Li Zhi, but he was speechless, so he took out something from his arms with all his might, made a ball in his hand and threw it at Li Zhi. Then he gestured with his hand.

It was a gesture of "run away", and when the gesture was still in the air after the gesture was drawn, a figure jumped out of the alley and landed heavily on Li Tong's body, the impact was so great that there was a small pit on the ground.

Li Zhi, who was outside the pit, couldn't see Li Tong anymore.

His first reaction was that Li Tong was going to die, and the second reaction was no, in case Li Tong survived, he shouldn't think so, it was his only friend. But that thought of death, he couldn't get rid of his mind, he couldn't even hold the knife, Li Zhi was so painful that he curled up on the ground, there was no wind or rain at night, but Li Zhi's whole face was wet, his face was on the ground, snot and tears mixed with dust were all pasted on his face, it was too depressing, he wanted to cry out so that he could feel better, but he could only let out meaningless whimpering. I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to remember something. He wiped his eyes casually and crawled towards the mass of things that Li Tong threw over. With his head down, he saw a pair of feet not far away, and he didn't know why the ghost hadn't killed him, but he couldn't care about it anymore. He just crawled over with great effort and grabbed the thing and held it in his hand. It was a ball of paper, and he was afraid that he would crumple it if he held it too tightly, so Li Zhi stuffed it into the placket where it was not stained with blood, and then pulled the placket tight. Defend it to the death.

Then I looked up at the night sky, I don't know why, and the sadness poured out one after another. As his footsteps got closer and closer, Li Zhi knew that he was going to die. However, he has no parents since he was a child, and his only relative, Li Tong, who is the only relative, has died.

A head appeared in sight, and it was leaning over to look at itself. After a gurgling sound, a few syllables came out of his throat: "Go... Die..."

Can you actually speak? But after the shock, Li Zhi calmed down. He was going to die today, but he also clenched his knife.

The ghost stretched out his right hand and grabbed half of the blade of the ghost slashing knife in his hand, and blood was dripping from between his fingers. Are you mocking yourself? The ghost casually tossed the half-blade aside, and then the arm retracted backwards, apparently accumulating strength.

At this moment, justice descended from heaven. Someone came from a high altitude, and with an unpretentious knife, when it landed, it had already taken away the ghost's right arm.

Covering the wound on the broken part of his right arm, the ghost let out an angry roar, "Eat, eat you!" Stride a few steps, making a gesture to attack the comer, but in mid-air, the attack changed and attacked Li Zhi who was lying on the ground. The man showed his knife to block the ghost's blow, and the ghost took this opportunity to run away in a few leaps.

"Chase! Chen Ye, go chase it. Li Zhi roared.

"You don't have to worry, someone is on guard at the perimeter, it won't get out alive. "That... Sorry I'm late. ”

Hearing this, one of Li Zhi's tense strings whimpered as if it had been broken, and the hand holding the knife let go and covered his face.

"It's... It's me who isn't strong enough, it's all my fault, it's me who is too weak, it's too easy to get hurt, it's me who let the same see..."Tears filled the whole face again.

What Li Tong threw to Li Zhi before his death was a letter, the first sentence of which was to apologize to Li Zhi: "Brother Li Zhi, go to Huangquan first and beg for forgiveness." Obviously, Li Tong wrote this suicide note a long time ago and has always carried it with him. From life to death, he never thought that Li Zhi would die in front of him.

Then, in the letter, Li Tong told Li Zhi about the past that he had been reluctant to mention. Li Tong was originally born in a family of eunuchs, and he was even more of a royal family when he counted up. Parental affection, family and beauty. Just because one day Li Tong was naughty, he sneaked out in the middle of the night, and at night, his parents were anxious and each took their slaves out to look for him. His mother, however, was attacked and killed by a demon while searching for him. Since then, the family has been torn apart. Because he loved his wife deeply, Li Tong's father was also in a slump since then, not only resigned from his official position, but also became a monk in the Taoist hall.

Under such hatred and guilt, Li Tong gave up his career and chose to become a ghost. Li Tong wrote, "I hope to die on the battlefield with all my heart." "It turns out that this young man with a weak crown does not want to die on the battlefield all the time, in the process of fighting ghosts. to alleviate his remorse for his deceased mother and guilt for his father.

In the end, Li Tong asked Li Zhi to bring his ghost slaying knife to his father. "In this life, I failed to fulfill my filial piety in life, and I hope that this knife can keep my relatives safe. "I haven't been able to protect my father well in my life, so let my sword replace my own to protect the health of my loved ones.

Since beating his mother's death, Li Tong has been atoning for his sins since then. Now he was finally free.

Li Zhi took the knife with him to Qianqingguan, and unlike many of the Dadaoguan that was regarded by the royal nobles as a place to seek purity and great solutions, and was almost regarded as the back garden of the official family, this Daoguan in Gyeonggi was small and broken. It is a dojo for true cultivators.

Li Zhi explained his intention to the little Taoist boy at the door, and the little Taoist boy went in to report, and Li Zhi stayed outside. After a while, a slightly older young Taoist led Li Zhi in.

Led by the young Taoist leader, he came to a secluded courtyard. At this time, a middle-aged man was already sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard.

The middle-aged man Meiyu is quite similar to Li Tong, and he is also easy-going, not at all like the general royal relatives and relatives.

When Li Zhi explained his intention and handed him the broken knife, he only thanked him lightly, and did not show obvious emotions. But the moment the middle-aged man took the knife and turned around and walked towards the door, this back was clearly a lot older.

After reporting on the operation. In the endless fasting, only Zhang Jiuling, Chen Ye and Li Zhi were left.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a situation this time, and only four ghost slayers were left in the special editor to come back alive. Cao Liang, the captain of the ghost slayer, also died under the attack of the hidden ghost and the fist ghost. For such a large casualty, the responsibility lies with the old man. Although Zhang Jiuling had repeatedly expressed his apologies at the meeting just now, at this time, looking at Li Zhi wrapped in gauze, he still couldn't help but blame himself.

"Adults don't have to blame themselves. Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and finally only said such a dry sentence.

"The flying ghost you killed alone this time, although it is still a hundred eyes, but it is not far from a thousand eyes, and it has made outstanding achievements, in recognition of your merits, the Zhen'an Division plans to specially promote you as the captain of the ghost slaying school. ”

"My lord, I..."

Zhang Jiuling stopped Li Zhi, "Don't rush to excuse yourself, considering that you have limited experience." It won't let you command the battle first, you don't have to be stressed. It's better to learn from Chen Ye first..."

Li Zhi glanced at Zhang Jiuling gratefully, and asked the doubts in his heart in hesitation.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. There is no difference between the top and the bottom in the Zhen'an Division, only the friendship of the robe, you know this. ”

"My lord, why does that ghost speak? Why can't this news be told to the following ghost slayers? The brothers in the Zhen'an Division are all bloody and murderous, and everyone is fighting for their lives, but what about the Zhen'an Division? After Li Zhi finished speaking in one breath, he finally vented the anger in his heart, and then hugged his fists, and he had a posture of never giving up if he couldn't get a clear answer.

Zhang Jiuling also had a rare solemn face, "You are indeed qualified to access this information now." Then I'll tell you. According to all the information we got later, that ghost was a thousand eyes that was "breaking through". "Now we divide ghosts into ten, hundred, and thousand eyes according to the number of people they eat. But the so-called there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. The same goes for ghosts. There are still ghosts above a thousand eyes. "You've also seen that the ghosts that are close to a thousand eyes have the ability to break through common sense, and the three ghosts you encountered this time are one that can fly, one is as strong as a bull, and one has the ability to escape to the ground. On top of that, what's even more terrifying is that they're starting to have wisdom, aren't they?" "The ghosts above a thousand eyes are only more terrifying, and they can even understand human speech. "This time our action is obviously to sabotage the careful preparation of the thousand eyes. It summoned the three hundred eyes and told them to guard themselves, while they ate the corpses that had been hoarded for a long time. I want to seek a breakthrough above a thousand eyes by eating a lot of food. ”

Such dense and complex information made Li Zhi not know how to speak for a while. I calmed down my mood and straightened out my thoughts. Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't it better to tell us in advance if this information is so important? Wouldn't it be better for the brothers to know that they are on guard, and there will be fewer casualties?"

Zhang Jiuling, who has always been mild-mannered, unexpectedly and strongly refuted Li Zhi's statement this time: "The big ghost above the hundred eyes, let you go is a sacrifice in vain, this time the information is wrong, and it is my decision-making mistake that caused such a big sacrifice." But the fault lies with the person who made the decision, not the decision to block these messages. "If you let those who have a heart know, even if you become a ghost, you will not only be able to gain immortality and abilities, but also hope to restore your senses. Then it's not just ghosts that we're going to fight. ”

After thinking about these words carefully, Li Zhi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Immortality alone can attract many people to go to the soup since ancient times. If some people with bad intentions knew, the ghosts above the thousand eyes would gradually regain their wisdom and even be able to speak. The consequences would be unimaginable, and the only obstacle to preventing those who had run out of oil and wielded power from becoming ghosts was gone. There will even be people who want to become ghosts on their own initiative!

"Old man Rong said a big rebellious word, all dynasties, even though there are changes in dynasties and changes in regimes, but there is no emperor who does not support the work of killing ghosts, in addition to the responsibility of the family and the world, it is more implicative to seek longevity. How could the emperor not use our hands to explore the secret that can not only live forever, but also keep wisdom like ordinary people?"

Zhang Jiuling ignored Li Zhi, who was already speechless with shock, but continued to speak.

"Li Zhi, do you know that there are ghosts all over the world, why is it only in Chang'an that such a century-old project should be set up, and the town security division with countless people and money is used? In the locality, only post stations are set up and guarded by a few people? That is because Chang'an, the best city in the world, is also the most evil city in the world. Whether it is the instinct to tend to the place with the largest number of people, or the reason that only ghosts know, all powerful ghosts will continue to flock to Chang'an. The existence of Chang'an is constantly producing ghosts. This has been the case since the first day Chang'an became the center of the world. ”

Li Zhi chewed the meaning of each sentence carefully, and then muttered to himself, "Powerful ghosts will continue to flock to Chang'an." A thunderclap flashed in his mind, "Could it be..."

"Yes, the source of all evil, the source of all the ghosts in the world must be in Chang'an!" "The old man only hates himself for being a scholar, and he has no power to restrain chickens. I also hope that you will find out this biggest ghost that has made the lives of the world miserable for a hundred years, let the people of the world have no peace for a hundred years, and let countless ghosts kill tens of millions of lives, and win the battle. If he can help, it is not a pity for the old man to sacrifice his life. Please, everybody. ”

After speaking, Zhang Jiuling bowed deeply to Chen Ye and Li Zhi, and also bowed to the countless ghost-slaying heroes behind the two.
