After hearing the weird ringtone, all of us rushed out of the tent. After looking at each other for a few times, I asked Nangong Fan in a low voice if she could see the source of the sound with her Galaxy Eyes.
Of course, before asking Nangong Fanzong, I adjusted my breath to check, but unfortunately the source of the sound was not within the scope of my investigation.
The sound came from farther away.
It's just that the voice sounds like it's right next to my ears.
Nangong Fancong looked at the distance for a few times and said: "They are Yin soldiers, and they are also cavalry!"
I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Do the cavalry horses have bells?"
In my opinion, it is foolish to hang bells around the necks of war horses, because the sound of the bells will alert the enemy.
Nangong Fancong smiled and said: "It is normal for war horses to have bells, because the ancients used cavalry and infantry to cooperate with each other in battles. Hanging a bell can remind the infantry in front of you to pay attention to avoid and avoid cars.
The trumpets on it are similar, there are also bells ringing, and the horse's hooves also sound, which makes it look impressive."
I asked again: "During the sneak attack, didn't the sound of the jingling horses' hooves reveal his whereabouts?"
Nangong Fancong said impatiently: "Are you really stupid? Don't you take off the bell during a sneak attack? Is the bell growing on the horse's neck?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment.
Zhang Rui laughed from the side and said: "Chen Yu sometimes has a bright mind, but sometimes he feels a little funny!"
Nangong Fancong snorted at Zhang Rui and said: "He just doesn't understand the knowledge of war horses, so he asks such a question. What about you? You haven't thought about it at all, and you still have the nerve to laugh at him!"
"
When Nangong Fan said this, Zhang Rui became embarrassed and stopped talking.
Zhang Rui actually didn't mean to harm me, he was just joking, but he was harmed by Nangong Fanxing.
As we were talking, the sound of the bells became closer. We immediately found a place to hide. At the same time, I took out four invisibility charms and affixed them to all of us.
Soon, the group of Yin soldiers slowly appeared in our field of vision. There were not many in number, only more than twenty people. The soldiers on the two horses led by them each held a flag, and the flag said "銊"
", both flags are the same.
Nowadays, people often think of "銊" and "议" as the same word, but in fact they are not.
The ghost is a kind of ghost, a "national ghost". Only people with extremely high status and prestige in a country can become ghosts after their death. For example, Wu Zixu, Qu Yuan, etc. during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, their heroic spirits have all turned into ghosts.
For the devil.
The "worm" next to the word "worm" is a kind of insect monster, a monster that is harmful to people.
Therefore, it is wrong for people to think that "銊" is the same as "霮" because the basic meanings of the two words are different.
The reason why I know this is because when Mai Xiaorou and I were together, she once told me some things about dragonflies. At that time, she also told me about ghosts. I also went to look up some information myself.
I didn't expect it to be used like this today.
Behind the flag soldiers was a larger war horse. Both the war horse and the general on the horse were wearing golden armor, and they had ghost masks on their faces. That mask reminded me of the bronze nightmare hidden in my forehead.
The general had a long sword hanging on his waist and was sitting on the horse in a daze, showing an indescribable majesty.
There was a golden bell tied around the neck of the war horse, and the bell kept ringing. Only then did I notice that the bell blocked all the sounds of the war horse's bells.
Behind the general were more than a dozen ordinary soldiers. Although they were not as majestic as the generals on horseback, they were still majestic, which made people feel heroic.
Soon, this group of Yin soldiers stopped at the foundation of Ci'en Temple. They went directly to the place where we dug out the bronze arrowheads. The flag soldiers in front did not move. Instead, the two soldiers behind the general ran over. They
After checking the pit, he said to the general: "Report to the general, our arrowhead has been stolen!"
The general got off his horse directly. He did not walk toward the foundation, but came directly to our tent.
Then he suddenly pulled out the long arrow in his hand and split my tent open with one strike of his sword.
Because that box of arrows is in my tent.
After splitting my tent, the general put the long sword back into its scabbard and said two words coldly: "Move away!"
So a few more soldiers came out and they came to move the box together.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be surprised. I originally thought someone would come to take these arrows, but unexpectedly, a group of ghosts came, and they were Yin soldiers!
After they loaded up the arrows, they were ready to leave. If they went too far, the clues for our investigation here would be completely lost, so we followed the team of underworld soldiers closely and followed them forward.
The team of Yin soldiers did not go back the way they came, but continued walking into the mountains behind the foundation of Ci'en Temple.
At this time, I couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Can you tell how strong that general is?"
Nangong Fan said: "At least it's the Ghost King. Zhang Rui's information is all useless paper. Let's re-investigate the situation of this case!"
While talking, Nangong Fan did not forget to insult Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui could only smile bitterly.
There are indeed big problems with the information on his case.
Tang Qing clenched her fists and muttered quietly: "Don't make any mistakes, don't make any mistakes!"
Tang Qing is very worried that her supernatural career will be ruined by this case.
Zhang Rui comforted Tang Qing: "Junior sister, don't be afraid. There will definitely not be any accidents this time. We will definitely get a lot of credit for this case, both for our Zhang family and for your Tang family.
They can all make great achievements!"
Zhang Rui said this very confidently, but Tang Qing didn't take it seriously. She ignored Zhang Rui and continued to pray silently.
Just when I was about to ask another question, I felt my clothes were caught on a branch. I pulled hard and the branch fell off, but the branch seemed to have pulled something away from my clothes.
Wait, what the branch pulled away seems to be the invisibility charm attached to my body!
I'm exposed!
The moment my invisibility charm was removed, the team of Yin soldiers in front suddenly stopped, and then everyone turned back to look at me.
I stood there blankly, then subconsciously waved my hands to those underworld soldiers and said, "Hello!"
Hearing my greeting, Nangong Fan, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were stunned.
The Yin soldiers were also stunned for a moment, and then the general turned his horse around. The Yin soldiers behind him pulled their horses aside to make way for the general.
The general approached me slowly on horseback, and the two flag soldiers behind him also followed.
I started to feel a little nervous.
The general stopped more than ten meters away from me, and then said to me: "You have been following us all the way. I was still wondering when you would show up. I didn't expect you to suddenly appear here. It's here."
Have you set up any formations or ambushes?"
The general discovered us early in the morning.
I smiled, then pointed to the branch behind me and said, "It was a complete accident that I showed up!"
The general looked at the branch and found the invisibility charm torn in half by the branch. He chuckled and said, "Interesting!"
The general had no intention of taking action immediately, so I relaxed a little and asked him: "Did you discover us early in the morning?"
The general said: "Yes, I have discovered you since we arrived at Ci'en Temple, and I know that you followed us. I was just curious about who you are and what your purpose is, so I did not stop you and let you
You have been following us."
We wanted to find out the whereabouts of those shady soldiers by following them, but this general actually walked down the slope to test our purpose.
I asked out of curiosity: "May I ask what the general's name is?"
The general said: "The most powerful general of the country, Duan Ruikai!"
Duan Ruikai? He is the abbot of Ci'en Temple and the person who received the bronze arrowheads from the uncle and nephew of the Song family?
Before I could speak, General Duan Ruikai said again: "Let your companions reveal themselves!"
As he said that, he just waved his hand, and a sinister wind blew by. The invisibility charms on Nangong Fanxing, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing all burned with a "boom", and then the sinister soldiers could see them.
.
After they showed up, I asked the question in my mind and asked Duan Ruikai whether he played many roles at the same time.
He smiled and said: "Those people are not me, they are just acting in my name. The real Duan Ruikai has the word 'General' in front of his name!"
I asked directly: "Where are you going to transport those bronze arrowheads, and what are you going to do with them?"
General Duan Ruikai said: "Of course arrows are used to make bows and arrows, and bows and arrows are naturally made for fighting. Do you still need to ask?"
The general Duan Ruikai didn't mean to embarrass me, but instead started chatting with me, which made me a little unsure of what he was going to do.
At this moment, Zhang Rui suddenly stood up and looked at General Duan Ruikai and said, "General Duan, are you really going to fight?"
Zhang Rui knows Duan Ruikai!?
The ghost-faced general Duan Ruikai looked at Zhang Ruikai and said, "You are..."
Zhang Rui said: "Zhang Rui, Zhang Ziyan!"
General Duan Ruikai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Are you the former prince of the Wuling clan?"
Zhang Rui, Wuling clan? Former prince?
I'm a little confused!
Nangong Fancong was surprised and said: "Zhang Rui, I didn't expect that you are also from the upper world. I really didn't realize that you are still the abandoned prince of the Wuling clan. According to legend, he is already dead. I didn't expect that you are.
You have come to this lower realm to hide your strength and bide your time!"
I looked at Nangong Fancong with some confusion.
She said: "The Wuling Clan is a race in the upper world, and its number is more than ten times that of our Shenmu Clan."
I didn't expect Zhang Rui to have such a noble status, but judging from his character, he doesn't look like a noble person at all, at least not like Nangong Fan!
As expected, this case involves matters in the upper realm! It’s just a war in the upper realm. Why are weapons prepared in this realm?
