Chapter 23: Who mentions the old things in the past?

Suddenly seeing the pair of big gong eyes glowing with green light staring at him for a moment, Yu Tang's heart trembled, and his eyes widened.

Then, the vision changed in an instant.

The overgrown weeds dissipated little by little, and the dilapidated temple was repaired little by little.

The huge head that fell quickly flew back to the shoulder of the three-zhang tall statue.

"Whew-"

When everything stopped, Yu Tang saw that the tall head in the green robe and crown actually opened his mouth and exhaled heavily.

Then, like a deflated ball, the statue shrank little by little, and finally turned into a real person who was a foot taller than ordinary people.

It turned out to be a middle-aged beautiful man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome posture, and a majestic figure.

At this moment, this beautiful man sat at the head of the hall, and there was a general standing on the left and right.

The one on the left is wearing armor, with a long whip hanging from his waist, his beard and hair are all open, and his body is burly, which is the white horse general that Yu Tang saw outside the city.

The general on the right, with a white face and beard, is thin, carries a long knife, carries a hard bow, and looks more like a Confucian general than the general on the left.

Your Royal Highness, there are more than ten generals standing neatly on the left and right sides, all of them are seven-foot men wearing armor and with neat faces.

Yu Tang stood in the hall, looked around, and felt even more cold and swishing, and there was nowhere to excrete.

"Ji Yun, everything has been arranged?"

At this time, the middle-aged beautiful man sitting in the center turned his head slightly and asked the general on the right with a hard bow.

The Confucian general immediately bowed down and replied, "Holy King, everything is in order, and you will definitely not treat the spirits from all walks of life who come to congratulate you." ”

The middle-aged beautiful man nodded with satisfaction, turned to the left again, and asked the white horse general, "Wan Chun, have you prepared all the gifts for returning to Qingqiu Mountain?"

General Baima hurriedly replied: "Holy King, the last batch of hungry ghosts has just arrived in the city, and the five thousand hanged ghosts, starving ghosts, and drowned ghosts have all been gathered, a total of 15,000 very angry ghosts. ”

The middle-aged beautiful man nodded with satisfaction again, stroked his beautiful hair under his chin, and muttered: "The brothers also know that this king's marriage with the nine-tailed demon fox of Qingqiu Mountain this time is really a last resort. If you do a good job, you may be able to find a clear way for everyone. If that's the case, it won't be in vain for everyone to follow this king to guard this city for many years. ”

"The Holy King is serious. ”

As soon as the middle-aged beautiful man finished speaking, a general in the hall came out and said respectfully:

"You were awarded the title of Sima Shengwang in the previous dynasty, and you could have entered the underworld to serve as the king of the ten halls of Hades, but you remembered that your brothers killed too much and did not have enough merit, so you chose to leave the underworld, and took us to choose ghost cultivation and continue to guard this city. Brothers were soldiers under your command when they were alive, and they are also ghosts under your command after death. ”

As soon as the general's voice fell, the rest of the generals also hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please ask the Holy King to say something about Mo Ti Nasheng." ”

Seeing that everyone was like this, the middle-aged beautiful man hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, okay, we are all brothers, but this king has seen the outside." Then we will do our part as we have said, and we will do whatever happens. ”

The generals hurriedly responded: "Get the order!"

The crowd will be like this, the middle-aged beautiful man smiled and waved his hand, causing the crowd to disperse.

"Jiyun, you stay. ”

Just as the Confucian general with a hard bow was about to withdraw from the inner hall, the middle-aged beautiful man stopped him.

Waiting for the generals to walk away, he said: "Jiyun, today I occasionally felt a landslide and the ground cracked, as if it came from the northwest. In that direction, it should be Huaguo Mountain. ”

The Confucian general thought for a while and said, "If it is Huaguo Mountain, then it is normal." In the past thousands of years, the five-colored clouds and thunder have been endless day and night, and I think I have leveled another mountain. ”

When the middle-aged beautiful man heard this, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "So, it's possible." The Monkey King has been scattered for three thousand years, and he doesn't know why the Thunder Male Mother is still bombarding day and night. ”

The Confucian general said, "Since you left the underworld, there has been little news from the heavenly court to us. Who knows about the affairs of Heavenly Court?"

The middle-aged beautiful man said: "Also, in the past few thousand years, not only have we been unable to ascend to the ghost cultivators, but even those human cultivators and demon realm spirits have not been able to ascend to the immortal, so naturally they can't hear any news." It's just that this situation is really a bit strange. ”

The Confucian general said: "It has always been strange for the heavenly court to do things. Otherwise, the monkey who blessed Tang Seng to obtain the true scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty back then, how much credit he had, but soon he died out. Hmph, in my opinion, hum, hum......"

The middle-aged beautiful man hurriedly said: "That's it, what does this have to do with us? Since we have chosen ghost cultivation, the heavenly court and the mortal world have nothing to do with us." The only ones that can be used are those mountain spirits and monsters. ”

The Confucian general also said: "The Holy King is extremely right. In those days, we fought 100,000 brothers to the last in order to defend this city, but we could not get a grain of rice to support them, so the brothers starved to death here. In this life, he became a ghost, but he could no longer let the brothers starve. ”

The middle-aged beautiful man nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Ji Yun rest assured, although this king was named Sima Shengwang, it was a matter of the previous dynasty, and now in the yang world, it is not the past, and there is nothing worthy of our protection." ”

One person and one general, and after a few more words, the Confucian general said goodbye and left.

When there was no one else in the hall, the middle-aged beautiful man glanced around, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Then, Yu Tang saw the surrounding scene, changed again, and restored a barren and dilapidated picture.

Thinking back to the scene just now, Yu Tang was horrified.

Although he didn't know who the middle-aged beautiful man was, from his conversations with his subordinate generals, some key information was revealed.

During their lifetimes, they should have made great contributions to the country and were respected by the imperial court.

To be qualified to enter the Ten Halls Hades Order, the merit must be not low.

It's just that for some reason, this group of people did not enter the underworld, but gathered the old department, occupied this Suiyang City, and embarked on the path of ghost cultivation.

And tonight, this group of ghosts gathered here was planning to marry the nine-tailed fox demon of Qingqiu Mountain, intending to find a way to break through the ghost cultivation method.

From this point of view, tonight's Suiyang City, I'm afraid it is not what Zi Ruyuan and the others expected, it is just a little sneaky.

I can't say, tonight in Suiyang City, because of the arrival of their group of uninvited guests, there will be a chaotic battle between the three worlds of people, ghosts, and demons.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn't help but shudder, and even more Zi Ruyuan and the others, especially Lan Haiyao, pinched a cold sweat.

It's himself, not to mention that there is a spirit stone birthplace to protect the body, even in the golden hoop stick, there are also 40,000 monkey spirits, no matter how bad it is, monkeys and monkeys such as apes can't watch him die.

Thinking like this, Yu Tang didn't bother to think about reminding Zi Ruyuan and the others.

Since he has been treated like this time, he can't say that he can still take advantage of this to escape.

As for Lan Haiyao, let's ask for more blessings.

"Look, there's an inscription here. ”

While Yu Tang was thinking wildly, the disciple of the Wind Gate reminded his partner beside him in a low voice.

"Shhh, this black light is blind, you can see what clearly, don't startle the ghosts here. ”

Zi Ruyuan heard someone speak, and hurriedly whispered to stop.

The man who spoke hurriedly shut up, looked at the vague inscription, but did not dare to say another word.

However, Yu Tang, who could see things at night, turned his head when he heard the words, and looked at the seat of the decapitated statue, but there was a stone tablet with a missing corner, and the secret code was engraved with a small block on it.

Although it is traditional, it is much easier to recognize than the small seal.

Concentrate and meditate: "The one who is in the middle of nowhere, the country is difficult, the demon star has not fallen, the Central Plains is swinging, and the four seas are crossing." Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and other princes, the internal commander, the external enemy, the analysis of the remains of Yizi, the former has not been ill, and the soldiers are exhausted, which is also their worries. If the sky has not repented, how can a person be worthy? He would rather be willing to kill than be attached to the murderous party, and his faith will be displayed in the annals of history, but he can be seen in the face of humanity. It set up a temple, Feng Zhang Gong is Sima Shengwang, Nangong is Qinzhou Huiyin Mountain Zhaoyou Jiaze Erlong Shenjun, Lei Gong is the thunder exorcism general, Lei Fu Chitose, to worship at the time. ”

After reading the inscription in one breath, Yu Tang's heart was shocked.

Although he is not a scholar or a history major, he has some understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally knows who Zhang Xun is.

Zhang Xun, Tang Dynasty Xuanzong Dynasty Jinshi.

During the Anshi Rebellion, An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, sent the general Yin Ziqi to lead the army to invade Suiyang, the Jianghuai barrier, and Zhang Xun defended Suiyang without grain and grass and no reinforcements outside, and fought more than 400 times before and after, and was finally captured and killed because the grain and grass were exhausted, and the soldiers were killed and wounded.

And those who are as loyal as him are also the left and right generals Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, who stick to Suiyang with him and are unyielding to death.

Unexpectedly, the three heroes who are so famous did not enter the underworld to inherit the throne after their deaths, but wandered in the land of yin and yang and became ghost cultivators.

The past is a thousand years, but no one mentions the old things of the previous dynasty, and only ghosts and males in the underworld.
