Chapter 819 You and I are both dust, born in this world (Part 2)
"The outside and the inside...are the same..."
The world is lonely, the wind blows across the barren mountains and leaves with a sob. The man's voice is sincere and weak, and in the woman's eyes, it turns into the last glimmer of hope in deep despair. The smell of pine oil is filling the air.
But the woman didn't come.
Gao Qianyue hugged her body, surrounded by the hungry ghosts who had just stayed. Seeing that the situation was deadlocked for a moment, someone stretched out her hand from behind. The woman struggled to break away, screaming in tears. Wang Shitong picked up half a bench and threw it away.
Came over.
"If you dare to take action again, I will kill you before I die."
He has led the hungry ghosts for nearly two years, and he has his own majesty. Some people just pretended to come forward, but did not dare to make any move for a while. Amidst the noise of people, the range where Gao Qianyue could run was getting smaller and smaller. Wang
The lion boy looked at this scene and said from the door: "Come here, I won't hurt you. They are not human. I told you..."
"Ah" the woman screamed, "You are not human!"
Wang Shitong was stunned.
"Wang Shitong, you are not a human being." Gao Qianyue cried, "You killed my whole family and destroyed my body. They are not human beings, but you are a human being!? Wang Shitong, I hate all of you, I
I miss my parents, I'm afraid of you! I'm afraid of all of you, beasts, you beasts..."
The woman was already timid, so she screamed for a moment, then her voice gradually became smaller, and she collapsed on the ground with her arms folded, lowering her head and crying.
Wang Shitong just stared at her blankly. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shook his head, as if he wanted to wave away something, but in the end he couldn't. There was a sound of ridicule from the crowd.
The world is a nightmare.
There was a hard struggle.
But finally, the last bit of light was closed.
In the crowd, someone approached and lifted up the woman sitting on the ground, and the woman's screams could be heard in the distance. Just like the scenes that had happened to him countless times in the past year, those scenes were accompanied by Shura-like
The slaughterhouse, accompanied by flames, countless people crying and crazy and wanton laughter. Countless heartbreaking screams and cries swirled in his mind, it was what hell looked like.
"We can't go on like this... Do you still want to be a human being?" With a faint cry, he killed his best brother, Yan Hong, who was starved to the skin and bones.
"This world is full of evil people... But it's okay. As long as you have me, I will take you out... As long as you have me..." Countless eyes looked at him expectantly, and then their eyes turned blood red. The sky
Underground, around the sea of people, there are human voices, cries, and pleadings everywhere. The sounds a person makes before starving to death should not have any sound. However, Wang Shitong looked at them, lying on the ground, skin and bones.
The corpse seemed to be making a penetrating sound in the eyes and lips that occasionally moved.
Directly watching the scene of people starving to death will drive everyone crazy. Every night, countless people will reach out, grab him, and eat him until he is eaten clean. He
He would wake up from his dream, greedily and crazily sucking in the soft breath of the living beside him. Women always seemed docile, like the domesticated kittens and dogs in his childhood. They lived in paradise.
"I will protect you, don't be afraid..."
…
"……Um."
…
…………………………………………………………………………………………Fake.
…
Wang Shitong held his head and cried.
In the crowd outside, someone tore off Gao Qianyue's clothes. More people looked at Wang Shitong and finally came over. The woman screamed and struggled, tried to run, and even begged for mercy. However, until the end,
She did not run in the direction of Wang Shitong. The clothes on the woman were finally torn off. The hungry ghosts dragged her legs off the ground and tore off her pants. Several strips of cloth were torn off.
, there was a roaring sound, and it hit the crowd, causing pine oil to splash out.
"Do it." When the voice came out, many people didn't realize that it was Wang Shitong who was speaking, but Wu Ding, who was standing nearby, had heard it and held the stick in his hand. Wang Shitong's second shout had already come out.
came out.
"Xin Laoer! Yao Xian! Give me a hand."
Next to Wu Ding, someone suddenly drew a knife and slashed at his neck.
In the crowd, many people shouted out in an instant, the sword light was raised, blood flew high into the air, and the figure next to them suddenly fell down.
The fighting, or massacre, expanded in the blink of an eye.
Xin Laoer was Wu Ding's confidant, and Yao Xian had been following Chaoyuan for a long time. Chaoyuan withdrew half of his people, and most of the remaining half were Yao Xian's subordinates. How could anyone have expected that there would be no one at all at the beginning?
Wang Shitong, who resisted, could still scream loudly. A large group of people were stabbed and shot in the blink of an eye, and the smell of blood filled the air. Although Wu Ding was prepared when Wang Shitong roared for the first time, but in the blink of an eye,
In the meantime, he was also killed by the swordsman who relied on him as his confidant, and he retreated repeatedly, with blood marks spattering on his body.
This fierce fighting started and ended quickly. Maybe only a few took action, but the timing of the attack was perfect. After a while, most of Wu Ding and Wang Chaoyuan's men had fallen into a pool of blood. Wu Ding was chopped down by Xin Laoer.
He was lying on the ground with several wounds on his body and his calf was almost severed in two. He was unable to resist amid the screams.
Wang Shitong also knocked over the two of them, and walked towards Gao Qianyue with the knife still dripping blood in his hand. The torn woman in rags backed away, and Wang Shitong squatted down and took one of her hands.
"Shh, shh... It's okay, it's okay..." A man named Yao Xian brought a torn blanket. Wang Shitong took it and wrapped it around Gao Qianyue. He wanted to reach out to comfort her, but
Gao Qianyue lowered her head and stepped back subconsciously. Wang Shitong stood up, confusion and blankness flashed in his eyes.
"What are you doing! You idiots! He is no longer the Ghost King! You will die if you follow him, don't you understand..." On the other side of the pool of blood, Wu Ding was still screaming in the blood. There were a group of people standing around him.
With some doubts, Xin Laoer said: "King of Ghosts, just come back." He was naturally a confidant under Wang Shitong, and at this time he was more concerned about Wang Shitong's condition, whether he had changed his mind, and whether he had figured it out.
Wang Shitong, shirtless, walked to a wooden stake on the side and sat down in a daze. After living like this for a while, he whispered: "Are there... anyone from the Black Flag Army?"
In the sound of the wind, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. There was a terrible silence. Wang Shitong also waited for a moment and then said: "Is there anyone from the Huaxia Army? Come out, I want to talk to you.
."
The ghost king's empty eyes glanced at everyone, and after a while, Wu Ding, who was in a pool of blood, laughed mockingly: "Ahem... you, you madman, you..."
Among the crowd, Yao Xian slowly took a step and stood in front of Wang Shitong.
Wang Shitong looked up at him. Yao Xian's cheeks were thin and his eyes were serious. There was not much change in the gaze.
"It turns out it's you..."
"The Chinese military has inherited the business, and I will be responsible for following you... Congratulations to the Ghost King, you finally figured it out."
"I didn't figure it out..." Wang Shitong muttered, "I lost after all..."
"The teacher said you just drowned."
"...Drowning...Teacher?" Wang Shitong looked at Fang Chengye, and for a moment, he understood who the teacher he was talking about was. At this time, birdsong was crossing the sky, and he finally said:
"I have a request..."
*****************
The sky was gloomy, and outside Xuzhou City, hungry ghosts gradually gathered in one direction.
On the temporarily built high platform, people walked up one after another. Among the crowd, there was Li Zheng, a Han from Liaodong. Someone started to speak loudly. After a while, a group of people were escorted out by people holding swords and were about to be pushed on.
Kill them all in front of the high platform.
Divide and eat.
Before the people on the stage finished speaking, the commotion came from different directions. Some people rushed to the high platform, some were surrounded from all directions, and some were chopped down on the ground. In the huge chaos, most of the hungry ghosts were not
It was clear what happened, but the dark red coat soaked in blood finally appeared in everyone's field of vision. The Ghost King came slowly and walked towards the people on the high platform.
Some people roared, some screamed, and some tried to incite the crowd in the audience to do something. An old man named Chen Dayi stood on crutches and did not make any reaction. Wang Shitong, who came up from below, passed by him. After a while,
, the soldiers arrested everyone who wanted to escape, including the foreigner Li Zheng, a Han from Liaodong, and held them at the edge of the high platform.
Li was trying to speak, but the soldier next to him stuck a knife into his mouth and chopped off his tongue.
The Ghost King came over and chopped off the heads of the rebels kneeling here one by one.
He threw the head into the bonfire, and the bonfire burst into flames.
…
Under the gloomy sky, the troops of the "hungry ghosts" finally began to disperse. Half of them began to go south around Xuzhou City, and part of them followed the "ghost king" they could only rely on to the nearest place with food.
direction.
That's the Jurchen military camp in the north.
A few more days passed, and at some point, a long military formation appeared in front of the "hungry ghosts" like a long wall. Wang Shitong spoke loudly and hoarsely in the crowd. Finally, they rushed to the opposite side with all their strength.
That long wall that is almost impossible to cross.
The dark red coat soaked in blood ran at the front of the crowd. The turbulent footsteps were like spring thunder that shocked the entire earth. The figure of the Jurchen in front began to become clear in his field of vision. Wang Shitong swallowed
Drooled.
"So hungry..."
Spring has arrived.
The entire land is still a desolate and dead look.
"Boom" shells flew over.
Wang Shitong ran in the crowd, and the cannonball pushed him high into the sky...
So hungry...
…
Far away, a woman's figure melted into the escort team and embarked on the journey south.
I don't know if she would even look northward during this journey.
"...I have a request. I hope you can send her to the south..."
"...I hope you can ensure her food and clothing, and I hope you can find a husband for her..."
"... I hope she can live in a place where she will never experience war, I hope her husband can love her, I hope she will have a family full of children and grandchildren, I hope her children and grandchildren will be filial to her when she is old, I hope her face will always have a smile on her face
Everyone can smile..."
"...I hope she forgets me, I hope she will never...never think of this nightmare..."
"...I hope she..."
...toward happiness.
…
Somewhere, tears and smiles meet.
His body flew up in the sky...
In the fifth year of God's blessing, in the spring of thirty-three years ago, the child was born into a wealthy family west of Zhending. The child's parents believed in Buddhism and were praised by people from all over the country for their kindness.
This son was given birth to. When Tianyou was six years old, his parents took him to the temple to play. He sat at the feet of Manjushri Bodhisattva and refused to leave. The abbot of the temple said that he was destined to the Buddha. The Bodhisattva sat down on a green lion and descended to earth. The family

He was selected as a scholar at the age of seventeen and as a scholar at the age of twenty.

An equally intelligent son.
In the thirteenth year of Jinghan's reign, the Jurchens went south. The 21-year-old Wang Shitong led the nearby villagers to retreat into the mountains to escape the war. After the Jurchens withdrew, although their homes were destroyed, no one was sheltered.
After his sudden death, Wang Shitong left his family's savings and lent them to nearby farmers to restore their livelihood.
However, in the next few years, natural and man-made disasters finally came one after another. The young and frail children died in the plague caused by the war. His wife never recovered. Wang Shitong guarded his wife and took care of the villagers. When the natural disasters came, he no longer
After collecting rent, she even squandered her family wealth for the refugees from all over the country. The kind-hearted wife finally passed away with sadness soon after. Before she died, she said: I have lived happily by your side in this life, but it is a pity that
Then you will be alone...
Wang Shitong buried his wife and took the refugees south.
As long as I'm here...I won't leave any of you alone...
He made a promise to them…

February of the tenth year of Wu Jianshuo.
Wang Shitong flew high into the sky...
Before that, I had spent my whole life struggling...

Hungry ghosts are still running across the endless land.
