Chapter 149: The Old Ghost's Past and Present (Part 1)
At this time, it was already dawn. After a long night of tossing, Huan Xin was somewhat injured, and Zhou Jiang, who was with him, was not much better either.
Both of them sat cross-legged and meditated in front of the mine tiredly, adjusting their breaths and cultivating themselves.
Huan Xin did not dare to leave. He knew what the consequences would be if he let such a thousand-year-old ghost escape. In "Hundred Ghosts", Huan Xin had also seen what happened to the so-called thousand-year ghost.
The thing is definitely not as simple as the fight last night, otherwise the early master Cheng Dezi would not have just sealed it or destroyed it!
You must know that Uncle Tianfeng once mentioned that their master Cheng Dezi broke through Hedao before he was sixty, and at that time he was the number one person in the world!
Looking back, I started to analyze this old man in black.
Even if ordinary ghosts wander around the world, they will only last for a hundred years at most before they are affected by the fate of heaven and earth and disappear. But among them there may be some fierce ghosts who know how to practice. It is also very difficult for fierce ghosts to practice. They not only have to avoid the pursuit of cultivators.
In order to survive, you have to endure the scourge of heaven. Ghosts like these that have existed for thousands of years rarely exist in the human world. Most of them have to go through several "thunder tribulations" before they can stand out and become the king of ghosts.
Once the thousand-year-old ghost has withstood the thunder tribulation, it is not something that ordinary cultivators can resist. It will become very powerful and become a powerful energy existence in the world. It is not so easy to eliminate it.
Zhou Jiang naturally understood this truth. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the tired Huan Xin and said, "Do you know who this old ghost in black was before he was alive?"
Of course Huan Xin didn't know this, and he was also full of curiosity. After all, this kind of ghost that can live for thousands of years is rare and more precious than a panda, so he asked: "I really don't know!"
Later, Zhou Jiang slowly talked about who this thousand-year-old ghost was!
Thousands of years ago, during the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This old ghost in black was called Long Xiao during his lifetime, and he was also a "man of the hour". From an unknown soldier, he fought all the way and became a general with outstanding military exploits. Long Xiao
His bravery was also a presence that frightened the enemies at that time. He not only won many battles, but also opened up territory for his dynasty. It can be said that he is inferior to one man and superior to ten thousand people.
He had become a general at a young age, and even the emperor at that time was very afraid of him. He even married off his princess to Long Xiao, just because he was afraid that he would rebel if he relied heavily on his troops!
But Long Xiao was an upright person, and he never had second thoughts. But he was living in troubled times, with war and smoke everywhere. In these troubled times, Long Xiao could not escape his fate.
At that time, some civil servants in the court were jealous of Long Xiao's outstanding military exploits, so they often remonstrated with the emperor, saying that Long Xiao intended to establish himself as king. At first, the emperor still didn't believe it, but as time went by, he would also harbor feelings for Long Xiao.
doubt.
The last few ministers, bribed by other enemy countries, worked together inside and outside to frame Long Xiao.
When Long Xiao led his troops for the last time, they thought that he did not die under the enemy's steel sword, but fell into the hands of his own people.
The night before the expedition, the princess practiced it for him and gave him a lot of wine. Little did he know that this wine was laced with a chronic "poison". Then the next day, Commander Long Xiao's army went out for the expedition and walked to a hillside.
, he also felt puzzled. He had been on the expedition for three or five days, but the food and grass had not been with the army.
You must know that in ancient wars, "the soldiers and horses moved forward first before the soldiers and horses moved the food and grass." However, the officials who escorted the food and grass before the expedition used the excuse that some parts were not ready and let the army go first, and the food and grass would arrive later.
Long Xiao, who had been fighting for many years, didn't take it seriously. After all, he often fought fiercely with the enemy when there was no food and grass supplies. Just when he felt that something was fishy, the enemy troops suddenly came out from all directions, and soon they killed him.
Long Xiao's troops were surrounded in the formation.
When Long Xiao saw that the enemy had already prepared an ambush, he knew there was a traitor. Otherwise, the enemy would not have known the marching route of the army in advance.
But the extremely brave Long Xiao was not a vegetarian after many years of fighting. He quickly made a countermeasure and led his men to break out of the encirclement. Finally, at a great cost, they found an exit. Long Xiao led the few remaining troops,
Flee to the capital of your country.
But who would have thought that he was surrounded and killed by the Prime Minister's troops on the way. Long Xiao originally thought that the Prime Minister had led the troops to come to support him, and he still had hope in his heart, thinking of killing him in return. But as soon as he saw the Prime Minister, he struck preemptively.
It is said that Long Xiao has surrendered to the enemy and treason, and the king has ordered that he be killed without mercy.
Long Xiao was also blinded in an instant. He didn't expect that after more than ten years of fighting, he would end up like this. At this time, the effect of the poisonous wine also took effect. Long Xiao only felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he no longer had the strength to even pick up the sword.
At this time, the soldiers who escaped with Long Xiao were all brothers who had been with him through life and death for many years. Seeing this situation, they understood that they were trying to hide themselves. Everyone rose up to protect Long Xiao, hoping to allow him to escape.
But after all, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours was so great that Long Xiao and his subordinates were subdued. Soon after, under the arrangement of the Prime Minister, Long Xiao was beheaded in public. He was still wearing his black armor when he died. The charge was that he surrendered to the enemy and treason, deliberately
Bring the troops into the enemy's encirclement, so that the entire army will be lost.
At this time, Long Xiao looked at the executioner standing next to him with dismay. He knew that the situation was over, but he did not expect that he would end up fighting for his country all his life. He looked coldly at the emperor and princess who were personally supervising the execution on the tower.
Long Xiao roared to the sky, and saw that the princess who was sleeping with him was extremely sad. He never thought that the people closest to him would poison him. So he roared to the sky: "God is treating me unfairly.
After my death, this country will perish! No one will be able to escape, including the ignorant ruler and the dishonest officials and villains."
At three quarters of noon, the sword was raised and fell, and a generation of generals came to an end, and this also sealed the fate of this country.
Later, some family members of Long Xiao's subordinates collected the body for Long Xiao, and the old people sewed his head back so that he could have a whole body. Seven days later, the palace was filled with evil spirits and gloomy ghosts.
Long Xiao, who had lost his soul, was very resentful. The emperor died after that night, and the princess who married Long Xiao also hanged herself in her palace. However, no one in the family of the prime minister who framed him survived, not even the chickens or dogs.
Soon this country was also captured by an enemy country. Although it was a small country, there was no chance that the enemy country could take advantage of it if Long Xiao survived.
Later, in order to respect this respectable opponent, the enemy general found Long Xiao's tomb, built a tomb and erected a monument for him!
But Long Xiao died unjustly, and his murderous aura and violent aura were so strong that he could not reincarnate in the underworld, so he became a lonely ghost wandering in the wilderness of the world.
I don’t know how many years have passed, Taizu Huangpao came to the fore, ended the years of war in China, and finally unified the country. The world was temporarily peaceful, and the people were content to rest and recuperate.
At this time, Long Xiao has become the overlord among the fierce ghosts, and has also broken through a heavenly catastrophe. The ghost energy has become more intense and pure. He only wants to be in the world, and does not want to wander around the world, so he found a deep mountain to hide and practice.
went!
But who would have thought that the appearance of a Taoist priest would change Long Xiao's fate!
