The years I was the shopkeeper at the Yinhun Inn Chapter 156 The Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage and crossed the border in search of the city.
Chapter 156 The Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage and crossed the border in search of the city.
Shadow, alive!
Daily drills worked. Even after witnessing such a strange sight, the soldier did not scream and flee immediately. Instead, he followed the order and kept his legs nailed to the spot.
Shadow's hand holding the sword paused slightly, as if he was about to chop it off on the soldier's head!
At the same time, screams and the sound of armor clashing came from his left and right. It seemed that his shadow was not the only one that could move!
"Definitely!"
An Rudao stretched out two fingers and all five hundred shadows on the wall were frozen!
"Everyone, take two steps back!"
Fear prevented the soldiers from identifying who gave the order. They took two steps back neatly and distanced themselves from the shadows on the wall.
"Okay, don't move around, just wait for me..."
At this time, he heard a sharp sound of "clang rang rang" and a sword was placed on his neck.
The eyes of the supervisor holding the hilt of the sword flashed with murderous intent.
An Rudao did not dodge, he lowered his head slightly and looked at the sharp knife on his neck, and said, "Supervisor, what does this mean?"
"You monster, how dare you use sorcery to deceive the morale of our soldiers! Take it down for me, right and left!"
Seeing no response, the supervisor turned around and found that his five hundred soldiers were still standing two steps in front of the city wall, like a row of terracotta warriors.
"Didn't you hear? I told you to take him down!"
A breeze blew across his face, and the supervisor felt a light touch on his hand. He quickly turned around and saw that only half of his sword was left.
"Master Supervisor, please calm down."
Guan Zhen, who had been watching quietly, walked up to the supervisor, handed half of the sword blade to him, and said: "Although my friend is still childlike and loves to play some boring tricks, he will never joke on such occasions.
.The vision just now was definitely not his doing.”
The supervisor's eyes widened, he looked at the broken blade handed over by the old man, then looked at his own broken sword, and immediately pointed the weapon at him.
"Why should I trust you?"
Guan Zhen was facing the brazier, the firelight and darkness sawing on his face.
At this time, the supervisor's helmet split into two along the center line and fell heavily to the ground.
"If you want to use 'witchcraft' to take away the heads of five hundred soldiers in an instant, wouldn't it be more likely to 'confuse the morale of the army'?"
The hand holding the broken sword fell limply.
The old man only wore a single coat, and there was no place to hide a sharp weapon. No, even with a mountain ax, it was impossible to cut open my helmet without anyone noticing...
Guan Zhen ignored him and said to An Rudao: "Have you found the reason? What's going on with those shadows?"
An Rudao smiled and said, "Come, let's take a look at those shadows."
He led Guan Zhen towards the city wall. The supervisor looked around and felt that there were eyes staring at him in the darkness around him, so he quickly picked up his helmet and trotted to follow.
When he reached the end of the line of five hundred soldiers, Guan Zhen saw the silver on the wall.
The soldiers seemed to be stuck in their armor, motionless two steps away from the city wall. But the shadows on the wall had different expressions: some were standing with their swords in hand, some were holding long swords, and one had already drawn it.
The sword comes out, ready to chop.
But none of the five hundred soldiers, the master of the shadow, holds these weapons.
The shadow on the wall is more like a painting depicting an ancient warrior.
Guan Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes with surprise.
"This is... a ghost? A resentful spirit?"
An Rudao shook his head and said, "No. You wait for me here."
He walked straight through the passage between the soldiers and the city wall, walked from the end of the line to the head, and then turned back.
Ever since they heard the sound of "fixation", the soldiers felt as if they were tangled in shackles. They gritted their teeth and tried desperately to escape from their own shadows, but they could not move at all.
When An Rudao walked past them, their eyes were attracted and focused on his clothes——
The phoenix embroidered with red thread actually started to swim around his body!
Not long after, An Rudao returned to Guan Zhan.
"Well, it's not surprising."
He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"The war has ended and the world has been settled. Why don't you go home and rest, but stay here?"
The supervisor didn't know who he was talking to.
An Rudao took out a Fang Zun from nowhere and poured some liquid on the ground.
"Commanders, come out and see us!"
If his own shadow can move on its own and panic the soldiers, then the sight that appears in front of them now is enough to scare them to death——
First, countless ferocious and twisted faces appeared under An Rudao's feet, enveloping the soldiers, and those fangs seemed to gnaw at their armor!
Then, the shadows on the city wall with random expressions suddenly swelled up, left the city wall, and turned into independent people!
Guan Zhen was watching intently, but he heard a crisp sound coming from beside him. It turned out that the supervisor wearing armor sat down on the ground.
Look at those "shadow people" again. Although their whole bodies are covered in blue and purple and their heads are motionless, their mottled armor and rusty weapons exude a murderous aura!
These are not phantoms, but entities! They are all veterans returning from the battlefield!
"These are..." Guan Zhen asked in a low voice, "Yin soldiers?"
"That's right. Have you heard the story of 'Yin soldiers taking advantage of the road'?"
According to folklore, after a great battle, someone saw a remnant army passing by the surrounding villages near the battlefield. Once the rooster sang at dawn, it turned into smoke and dispersed without a trace. The elders in the village said that this was a battle.
The ghosts of the dead on the battlefield pass by, but they don't know that they are dead, and they just follow their commanders to their hometown or another battlefield. Sometimes in barracks and deep in the mountains, there are people who see Yin soldiers, which is called 'Yin soldiers borrowing the road'.
"But why do these dark soldiers emerge from the city wall - no, from the shadow of the soldiers?"
"Actually, they were attached to the city wall. They felt the murderous aura of the soldiers and thought they were their companions, so they came closer unconsciously. Human shadows belong to Yin, so they are most likely to be hosted by ghosts." An Rudao explained, "
I just asked the soldiers to line up neatly in order to concentrate the murderous energy, draw out the Yin soldiers, and then use the soul call to order them to reveal themselves."
Guan Zhen nodded and said: "So, the strange things in Jiangducheng are also theirs..."
"Don't worry, I'll ask."
An Rudao turned to the Yin soldiers and said loudly:
"Why do you invade living people?"
The Yin soldier closest to him, holding a long sword, raised his head, his dry lips squirming slightly:
"We...were ordered to guard this place...not to give an inch of ground..."
Without waiting for An Rudao to ask further questions, the Yin soldiers in the distance also answered in turn:
"We... lost our way... The commander ordered... to find the city..."
"We... fought our way out of the siege... and went to the north... to ask for help..."
"We...besieged the city for more than half a year...climbed the city and fought to the death..."
The cold, void sound echoed along the riverside, making people feel horrified.
An Rudao sighed and said: "The reasons are different, but they are roughly similar. These Yin soldiers either attacked the city, defended the city, or searched for the city during their lifetime. It was their obsession with the city that made them attracted to Jiangdu City, the future city.
