Chapter 138 The disaster of the three armies was born of suspicion
(There is another chapter in two hours...)
Countless sinful ghosts and wild ghosts were screaming and turned into nothingness in the flames that burned and rolled like flames.
A Confucian scholar in black clothes wearing narrow sleeves and a high crown seemed to step out of the light of such flames.
After narrowly escaping from death, many local people prostrated themselves and were grateful to this Confucian scholar for saving his life.
The Confucian scholar was no longer young, and his long beard was already gray, but it was neatly combed.
At this moment, even if these common people bowed down and saluted, the Confucian scholar would bow to him meticulously and said: "There will be a dangerous and fierce battle here later, so you should go and hide first!"
"only!"
After hearing what this Confucian scholar said, how could the people in the village who had just escaped from death dare not listen? So they fled away with their families.
…
"Sacrifice wine, we are a step late. This place has been breached, and those sinners have escaped!"
When Tao Xiaowu arrived with his spirit soldiers, the entire Fu'an Village had almost turned into a tomb.
There is no living person, not even a living animal.
Everyone turned into corpses, their faces blue and white, and full of fear and pain.
"It seems that it's not just these evil spirits who are responsible for this. It should be a large number of wild ghosts who gathered together to break through Fu'anli in one fell swoop. Chase me!"
Tao Xiaowu said and gave the order.
"Sacrifice the wine, the front is about to go out of bounds!"
A spiritual soldier said hesitantly.
At this time, Fu'anli was already the most remote place in Yangfuhou Kingdom.
If you go further, you will reach Hengyin.
If we continue to pursue him, we will have to leave the Yangfuhou Kingdom.
The commander of a village is also called a hundred-man general, commanding an army of a village.
At this moment, the village chief who was speaking was a Longting soldier who was sent to protect Yangfuhou Mansion.
At this time, it was opposition.
Yang Fuhou's order was only to kill and expel the guilty ghosts from the country.
After all, according to the regulations, neither the county magistrate nor the princes can lead troops out of the country without orders from their superiors.
Although Yang Fuhou's status is different, there is nothing to worry about even if the spirit soldiers leave the country.
But the Longting Spirit Soldiers sent here follow rules and regulations.
Tao Xiaowu said coldly: "Then what should we do? Are we watching these criminal ghosts snowball, gathering wild ghosts, and forming a ghost disaster?
When the time comes, the ghost disaster returns and attacks our kingdom again, what should we do? Are you going to stop it?"
The village chief immediately shut up and said no more.
"Kill, follow me and kill the ghosts. Anyone who has done meritorious service will be seriously injured. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Saying this, he already led the ghost soldiers to chase him out.
The spies sent out soon received a reward: "The sacrificial wine has been found. These sinful ghosts have formed a group of ghosts and are attacking a spiritual house in the underworld!"
"Okay, just now they destroyed a human village, but now they have descended into the underworld to attack the spiritual house... The world of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth is at their mercy..."
Tao Xiaowu laughed.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief. The boundaries in the human world were strict, but it was different in the underworld.
Don’t worry if you go deep into the underworld later, you can lead your troops out of the country without authorization...
In fact, this played into Tao Xiaowu's heart.
I originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the underworld to deal with the Yan family, so there is no need to make excuses now!
At this time of night, the two realms of Yin and Yang are blurred, and you can travel in and out at will.
This is not just cultivators, even ordinary people. Occasionally, they will travel into the netherworld, encounter all kinds of things, and finally leave some legends of strange monsters to be passed down to future generations.
And the later it gets, the stronger the barrier between Yin and Yang becomes, and the more difficult it becomes to cross.
"If that copy is really a certain timeline in the future world, then it means that in later generations, the two realms of Yin and Yang will not only be blocked, but it is even possible that the netherworld will shrink directly..."
Tao Xiaowu thought.
It was at this time that I saw a large group of ghosts besieging a spiritual house from a distance.
This spiritual residence occupies a large area, with deep walls and a high courtyard. There is also an archery tower, with people on it defending, constantly shooting arrows downwards.
This kind of manor is almost the standard for a wealthy family. Whether it is in the human world or in the underworld!
Even Wuli is now prosperous and has added two watchtowers.
Of course, when encountering a battle, the so-called watchtower can immediately turn into an archery tower, where you can watch at ordinary times, and shoot arrows from a high position during battle.
The courtyard walls are one or two feet high, almost like a defensive fortification.
Of course, in the underworld, the most important thing is not this, but the aura.
The entire manor is guarded by spiritual light, and when ghosts bump into it, it's like bumping into flames.
Even the arrows shot from these spiritual mansions carry such spiritual flames that they can cause great damage to ghosts!
It's no wonder that thousands of ghosts besieged this spiritual house, but they couldn't defeat it.
"Should we wait for both sides to suffer a loss, and then kill each other to make a profit?" Tao Xiaowu pondered.
"Sacrifice wine, this is inappropriate!"
The head of Longting Village spoke again.
"oh?"
"The ghosts are a ragtag group, facing a strong wall, it is difficult to attack. It will not be long before they will be abandoned..."
The implication is, of course, that there is no chance of profit at all!
When Chief Longting said these words, he actually felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Tao Xiaowu questioned Tao Xiaowu several times. Even if it were Tao Xiaowu, he would be furious at this time.
Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Or are you deliberately opposing me?
Many times, it is not that those in power are unwilling to listen to the opinions of their subordinates with an open mind.
But in many cases, when a person in power does this, it represents weakness and will shake his prestige.
This is especially true in the military.
What's more, when the military commander issues an order, the most taboo thing is to object.
There is a saying in the art of war: hesitation is the most harmful factor in using troops, and disasters for the three armies are caused by loneliness and doubt.
In modern terms, the worst orders in war are better than indecision!
Therefore, as soon as the Longting Village Chief spoke out, he knew that he had violated a taboo.
If you were in the army, you would probably be dragged out to get beaten up at the lowest level. If it was a little more serious, you would be beheaded!
However, Tao Xiaowu did not get angry, but looked thoughtful.
He was a sacrificial wine and only temporarily led these spiritual soldiers, so he did not care about his prestige in the army.
Secondly, practitioners attribute great power to themselves and do not value other powers so much.
Therefore, at this time, Tao Xiaowu was able to look at this issue objectively.
"You are right!"
Tao Xiaowu saw that although there were many ghosts surrounding the spiritual house, but they did not dare to attack, he immediately knew that what Longting Chief said was true, but he had copied it mechanically.
I saw that dark group of ghosts again, numbering at least five to six thousand, gathered together.
Because there are so many of them, these ghost groups gather together and fill the air with Yin energy, forming a large ghost mist, as if they are moving thick clouds.
