"After all these years, has the general ever thought about going back?"
"Of course I've thought about it, all the time." Xiaowei Gui's expression was complicated, with bitterness, grief, and helplessness mixed together, but no tears came down. "However, I'm afraid it's a long way from Yidu here."
It's a distance of several thousand miles, and it's not easy for a living person to walk across it. I just became a ghost, so how can I walk back?"
"That's it..."
Song You stood there, looking up at the moon on the horizon. He thought for a while and then said: "It is said that when I and Empress Sanhua were in Yidu, we received favors from the general and Lingzheng. Thanks to you two, Sanhua and I
It’s good for Lady Hua to gain a foothold in Yidu. If the general really wants to go back and have a look, I would be willing to help him.”
"Sir, are you willing to take me back to Yidu?"
"I do want to return to Yidu, but that will probably be more than ten years later. Although the general is a ghost and has convenience, the general has been so lonely for more than ten years."
"I have been waiting for more than ten years, and I am not afraid of waiting for another ten years." Xiaowei Gui said without hesitation. I didn't know what rumors came to mind, and then added, "As long as Mr. can take me back to my hometown, just get a gourd."
It’s okay to keep me contained for more than ten years without releasing me.”
"Wouldn't that be more terrifying than spending more than ten years in prison?"
"Willingly!"
It makes people sigh that at the expense of more than ten years of loneliness in the dark, he only wants to return to his hometown and meet his wife.
Song You said to him: "The general and Ling Zheng have a deep relationship, which is amazing, but there is really no need to go to such trouble. With my help, the general can walk back by himself. If everything goes well, maybe the general can return to Yidu in two months."
, met with Ling Zheng."
"ah?"
The school captain seemed so surprised that he couldn't believe it: "Sir, are you serious about what you said?"
"Of course you can't fake it." Song You smiled and said, "This can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the general and Ling Zheng."
"I wonder what kind of kindness it is?"
"The general will know when he gets back."
"Sir's kindness is the greatest kindness. No matter how much my wife helped him, it can never be equal to this kindness."
"If the general feels that he is indebted, he can introduce me to the two generals Feng Chang after I enter the city." Song You said, "Although Lei Gong is definitely coming to take charge, we still don't know when Lei Gong comes down.
At some point, I might as well explain my interests to the two generals and advise them to be more peaceful these days."
"yes!"
"General, just come down and look for me."
Song You said and took steps towards the front.
The ghosts dispersed behind him.
Gradually we approached this turtle city.
The dark shadows gradually became clear before my eyes.
The circumference of this city is probably three or four miles. The city wall is more than four feet high and more than two feet thick. There is no gate anymore, only an empty city cave. The moonlight itself is dim. When you walk through it, your eyes are pitch black.
However, after passing through the city cave, the scene immediately changed.
There were also many more voices in my ears.
When I flew over Turtle City during the day, I saw a burned-out and abandoned Turtle City. The houses had no doors or roofs. However, looking at it now, everything seemed to be the same as before.
Each house and courtyard inside has a wooden door and a tiled roof. The plaque on the door is still the same, and lanterns are hung at the door, with a pale light in the lantern.
There are ghosts walking on the road, and there are also ghosts chatting on the street. There are not only those wearing armor, but also people wearing cloth. When they see a cat strutting in, they can't help but cast their eyes on her, and the cat also raises its head.
He looked at them curiously. Then he looked behind Mao'er and saw a man and a horse walking in slowly.
No matter what they were doing, the ghosts stopped immediately, and no matter what they were saying, they immediately fell silent.
They all turned their heads and stared at the person.
After a while, whispers came out.
"It's a person..."
"He is a Taoist!"
"What are you doing here? You're not here to get rid of us again, are you?"
"Hurry and report to the general!"
"This Taoist seems a bit familiar..."
"Don't act rashly!"
Song You listened but kept walking.
No matter what they were talking about, they walked on their own, looked left and right, and walked on the road, as if they were visiting an ordinary market town during the day.
All the ghosts avoided him.
At night, the earthen city seemed to have been restored as before.
There is a horse track surrounding the inner wall of the city. There are both military barracks and houses, the general's residence, and a mill and horse farm, making it look like a complete military fortress.
Although Song You had been to Caotou Pass Military Camp, he had never entered such a military fortress.
His eyes were naturally full of curiosity.
And this is obviously the work of the ghost here.
It can be considered quite clever.
Speaking of which, the ghosts here have only been dead for more than ten years at most, but they have such abilities, which is worthy of a high look.
It wasn't until we walked for a while that we were blocked by a group of ghost soldiers in front of us.
It wasn't that he was blocking the road, but a group of ghost soldiers gathered together, led by another ghost wearing a captain's armor, standing in front waiting for him.
When Song You approached, the leading school captain Gui stood up first, saluted him, glanced at the calico cat walking in front of him and the bay red horse walking behind him, and said anxiously:
"I don't know if the immortal is here to come, but it's a long way to greet him..."
Song You was startled when he saw this, and returned a salute: "General, I cannot afford such a great gift."
"Immortal...are you here to suppress us?"
"General, you misunderstood." Song You said with a smile, "I just heard that there is a ghost town here, and there are many souls of soldiers in it. I don't know the reason, but I came here to have a look out of curiosity. Don't be nervous."
"call……"
The ghost in front of him breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they say that they have many ghosts, they have only heard of this name two days ago. He can suppress a demon king as big as Hezhou and can move a mountain. Facing such gods who can move mountains and fill seas,
They are just a group of new ghosts who have been dead for a few years or more, so what power do they have to resist?
It would be better if I felt calm in my heart.
Even if the emperor sees the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, he will probably have to bow first and say a few words of concern. If he meets a good actor, he may even shed a few tears. If you have a clear heart, you will naturally have no fear. However, these ghosts here are...
If you cannot do this, you will feel uneasy in your heart. When you are shaken, you will naturally feel timid and uneasy.
At some point, Tang An appeared behind these ghosts.
However, his official position and prestige seemed to be inferior to that of the captain who spoke just now, so he just stood silently and did not make a sound.
"But when I came down, I heard some things from the people at the grassland meeting, so I came to take a look." Song You seemed to have not seen Tang An, and only said to the school captain ghost in front of him, "I don't know what's going on in this city."
Which general is in charge, but what's the problem?"
"Back to the Immortal, there were originally two generals in the city, one named Feng and the other named Chang. They were both very capable and prestigious. Most of the ghosts in the city listened to them."
"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a mountain man from Lingquan County, Yizhou. The general is a heroic soul who protects the family and the country, but I can't afford the honorific title of general. I can only call him sir." Song You said to him again.
He raised his hand and saluted the captain in front of him, "As for the two generals Feng Chang in the city, I wonder if the general can introduce me to you?"
"this……"
The captain suddenly became embarrassed, looked left and right, and after a moment said: "I dare not deceive the immortal, the two generals Feng Chang are gone."
"Gone?"
Song You was a little surprised.
At this time, Tang An stood up and raised his hands and said: "Reporting to Sir, I just heard that General Feng and General Chang left with their cronies last night. It seems that they went to the Grassland Club, and I heard that Sir has already come here.
, felt that he had done something wrong, and was afraid that he would kill them, so General Chang ran away in the first half of last night, and after General Feng heard about it, he also ran away in the middle of the night."
"..."
Song You couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully.
Last night at the bonfire party in the prairie party, I saw a ghost dressed as a general. He had some good deeds. When I got up this morning, I heard from Empress Sanhua that there was another little ghost wandering around in the mountains late at night. I ran up to the mountain and saw Empress Sanhua’s.
She was immediately scared away, and Song You even complimented her a few times.
Now that I think about it, the ghost at the bonfire party was probably General Chang or one of General Chang's men. He had a bad temper. Not only did he want to kill people at the slightest objection, but he even wanted to kill local officials. He actually agreed with the round-faced ghost.
Description of General Chang.
Although I only saw a Taoist and a girl at that time, no calico cat or bay horse, I thought something was wrong. After some investigation, I found out that it was the one who suppressed the demon king in Heyuan.
Feeling that he had too much desire to kill and had committed a serious crime, and knowing the status of ghosts, he felt panic-stricken, so he ran away overnight without hesitation.
Rather decisive.
Although General Feng was highly capable, he was not as courageous and courageous as General Chang. When he saw General Chang running away, he was worried that the "god" would convict him. I don't know if he sent someone to investigate later, but he ran away anyway.
"gentlemen……"
"That's all, just leave. This kind of thing shouldn't be taken care of here. It should be the responsibility of the Lei Department. Now that the God of the Lei Department has noticed it, let the Thunder Lords worry about it."
Although the world is big, there are only a few demons and ghosts targeted by Thunder God who can escape.
It's just that on the one hand, Lei Bu Zhengshen may be tied up by the Great Demon of the North and is too busy for the time being. I want to warn them first to make them more honest, and then we can slowly find out and deal with it properly after they are done. On the one hand, Lei Bu may be too busy for the time being.
Zhengshen also knows that they have a special status, and considering their previous mistakes, he is not willing to kill them casually, let alone kill them all in one fell swoop.
Song You felt a bit strange.
I didn't expect that I would be so scared that a ghost general would run away hastily before anyone arrived.
Inexplicably, it actually feels a bit like those legendary powers that can scare monsters and ghosts with just one name.
But what's even more amazing is this place.
I originally thought that there was some mystery in this place that caused so many people to turn into ghosts, but now it seems that they are all gathered from all over the border.
In the past two years, the National Preceptor has gathered ghosts. He knew that there were many ghost soldiers here, but he issued a decree to let them live here. Obviously, it is not that there are so many ghosts here that they cannot be captured, but there must be other considerations.
