Chapter 17: Waiting
Before the arm hit the ground, it turned into a cloud of black gas and disappeared.
Bai Cheng took advantage of the momentum to pursue, holding the knife in both hands, striding forward, chasing Wang Yingshan, a long knife opened and closed, and made a set of wind-splashing knife techniques extremely brave.
Wang Yingshan fell to the downwind for a while, although his body was like electricity, and he dodged again and again, but he was still slashed several times, and black gas continued to escape from the middle of the knife.
After several moves in a row, Wang Yingshan finally found an opportunity, slid a step, and received a knife before he dodged Bai Cheng's pursuit and flew to the side.
It only took a few moments before and after, and he had been cut all over his body.
Bai Cheng laughed and said, "The old gentleman is really good at cultivating, and he can't help it even if he goes all out." ”
Although Wang Yingshan's face sank like water, his expression was still calm, and he said: "Little brother, why do you want to embarrass me, aren't you afraid of killing in vain when you use swords?"
Bai Cheng said with a smile: "The old gentleman has already moved to kill, and he will only expose it in advance, why should you pretend to be high-minded and make people laugh?"
Wang Yingshan's face gradually turned cold, and said, "When did you become suspicious?"
Bai Cheng smiled: "I didn't believe it from the beginning. ”
The corners of Wang Yingshan's eyes drooped, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and in an instant, he turned from a kind old man into a life-seeking ghost, and said two words coldly: "Why?"
Bai Cheng laughed and said, "It's just instinct." The old gentleman also said that the yin souls absorb yang energy because they are driven by their instincts, and he also strongly agrees with this. It's just that I still think that the wolf eats the sheep, the sheep eats the grass, and no one can change the two words instinct. Even if the old gentleman is a celestial scholar, he can't change the instinct of absorbing yang energy as a yin ghost, so he doesn't believe the old gentleman's words in the next word. ”
Wang Yingshan said coldly: "Just your guess?"
Bai Cheng nodded and said: "This is enough, not to mention that although the old gentleman's eloquence is good, he is not very proficient in martial arts, and although the mental method he made up is wonderful, he can't hide it." ”
When Wang Yingshan heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Okay! Okay! I didn't expect that I would be planted in the hands of this kid of yours after a long time of being born." ”
At this point, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and shouted, "Did you hear me?"
As soon as the words came out, Bai Cheng knew that the situation had changed, and with a little tiptoe, the long knife was stretched out, and the knife slashed at his head.
Unexpectedly, a white light suddenly shot out from the full moon in the sky and hit Wang Yingshan's body, the brilliance reached his body, and he turned into a little white light and disappeared.
Bai Cheng was stunned, and then went to look for Wang Yingshan, but he couldn't find any trace, so in desperation, he could only return to the arrow tower first and tell the details of what happened before.
The wild goose flew high and was amazed, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a cunning and wise character among the ghosts.
This time, only Wang Yingshan came up, and after he disappeared, the ancient battlefield was empty. Yan and Bai were also happy to be idle and took the opportunity to breathe for a while.
After another half an hour, the underground yin qi gushed again, and after this gushing, there was still only one person on the few earths.
This person appeared seventy or eighty zhang away from the arrow tower, his face was like a silver basin, his eyes were like a star, he was wearing a seven-treasure golden helmet, wearing a set of gold chain armor, two black iron whips hanging obliquely from his waist, holding a Fang Tian halberd in his palm, stepping on tiger head combat boots, wearing a crimson cloak, and a white horse on his crotch, without half a stray hair.
When the man appeared, he remained motionless on his horse, only glancing at the two of them obliquely. Immediately after, a white light shot out from the moon and hit the man, and he turned into a little white light and disappeared.
This person didn't make any other moves, just that glance, he had displayed the monstrous killing intent to the fullest, making Yan and Bai feel cold all over their bodies.
"Strange, why did he run away after a glance? Could it be that the two sides have already made peace?" a voice came from behind the two of them.
Bai Cheng was startled, and hurriedly looked back to see that it was Lin Suhuan, since the appearance of that general, he was attracted by the military general with all his energy, and he didn't realize that Lin Suhuan had woken up in a state of concentration.
Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "There was a peacemaker just now, but he was beaten away by the younger brother. ”
Lin Su was still stunned and asked, "Can you really talk about peace?" ”
After Bai Cheng returned Lin Su to the table, he talked about the situation of the underground yin qi gushing six times, focusing on Wang Yingshan and the military general who appeared just now, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there are such eloquent people among the underground yin souls, which really opened the eyes of the younger brother." ”
Lin Su pondered for a long time before saying: "This is strange, as far as I know, brother, the underground yin souls are ignorant and ignorant, except for the God Refining Grandmaster, who can remain undispersed after death, the others will be assimilated by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi immediately after death." But even if it is a God Refining Grandmaster, it can only last for a moment or three, these people have been dead for at least one hundred and eighty years, how can they still talk to people. ”
Bai Cheng suddenly remembered the many legends about ghosts he had seen on Earth in his previous life, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it true that people can't keep their memories after they die, and they can't communicate with the living?"
Lin Su also glanced at him and said, "If the Yin Soul can also maintain its memory and live forever in the world, then we can cultivate which sect of immortals and which sects of the Dao, we will simply commit suicide." ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "That's a good point, what state should that Yin Soul be?"
Lin Su also shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't know either, I'm afraid that no one in the world knows about it at all." According to the records of the Taoist classics, the yin soul after death is ignorant and ignorant, leaving only the basic instincts, even if it is summoned back, it can only be used as a yin soldier against the enemy, and I have never heard of a yin soul that can talk eloquently. ”
Bai Cheng sighed and asked, "It's a pity that Brother Lin wasn't here just now, otherwise I can talk to that yin spirit and ask what happened." ”
"Don't be sorry, there's still a chance later. Old Zhou suddenly interjected. At some point, he also woke up from his meditation.
Bai Cheng turned his head and asked, "How does the old man know?"
Old Zhou shook his head and said, "The old man of Daomen magic doesn't know anything, but I still know a little about the military formation. You said that there were four teams of men and horses just now, followed by a scribe and a general. ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Old Zhou nodded and said: "The front army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, plus one army division and one main general, were the most common Xuanxiang formations in Chen Guo back then. ”
Bai Cheng said: "The old man is really very familiar with the battle array. ”
Lin Su also interjected and asked, "What does that have to do with the opportunity you keep talking about?"
Old Zhou said: "It only takes 9,000 people to set up a Xuanxiang array, but only six Xuanxiang arrays can form a six-petal plum blossom array. At that time, Chen Guo's Sixth Route Army had a total of 54,000 men and horses, together with the men and horses escorting heavy grain and grass, a total of no less than 100,000, and most of them died in front of Jintang Pass. So the old man guessed that there should still be five armies for a ghost like that just now. ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "What the old man said also makes sense. ”
Lin Su also said: "Whether this is the case or not, we will know later." ”
Bai Cheng had rested for a while just now, but he was not in a hurry to settle down.
An hour later, the underground yin qi gushed again, and with the yin qi, more than a thousand skeleton warriors really climbed up.
Before a few people could react, the Xuantian Wujin Python had already rushed down the arrow tower, ready to have a full meal.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Xuantian Wujin Python came to the ground, it saw thousands of white lights shooting out from the moon, and after the skeleton warriors in the field encountered the white light, they dissipated one by one, turning into bits of white light and disappearing.
