According to the information I have, the living dead are all selected exorcists with strong determination and have received Middle-earth education since childhood.
Only in this way can the loyalty of the living dead be guaranteed.
After all, there is a balance between life and death. Exorcists commit suicide and become ghosts. In essence, they have become a part of the dead.
Therefore, China-Earth has always strictly controlled loyalty to the living dead.
But as the forest gets bigger, there will be all kinds of birds. Moreover, in order to keep their identity secret, the living dead people have a distant connection with the Middle-earth. As time goes by, there will inevitably be places that cannot be controlled.
Once the identity of the living dead is exposed, with a little temptation, the possibility of rebellion and surrender to the enemy will greatly increase.
A living person can become a dead person, but a dead person cannot become a living person.
To put it bluntly, no matter how great their merits are in the future, these living dead will never be able to become serious living people again.
I sighed slightly. I wanted to ask about the identity of this living dead, but how could Kuiqi, a person who was out collecting soul stones, know such confidential information?
No matter what, if the lord of the Southern Territory really wants to wipe out all the living dead, I will have to help them once.
They are all serving the country. They have sacrificed so much and yet they have become like this. How can we put everyone in such danger?
Thinking of this, I stopped talking and followed Kuiqi to concentrate on my journey.
It was actually quite a long distance from Heilin Village to Nanyu City, but the Hell Hound was really not slow in running. It leapt through the knee-deep snow and arrived at Nanyu City in only two days.
There is no distinction between night and day on the Far North Icefield. Anyway, under the clouds, everything is pitch black. When we arrived at Nanyu City, we discovered that the newly built city wall had already been submerged in the heavy snow.
middle.
There were many will-o'-the-wisps on the top of the city, and there were ghosts coming and going everywhere. They saw us coming riding hell dogs, and after verifying our identities, they opened the city gate and let us in.
I noticed that the city gates were covered with twists and turns of black ghost writing. It was estimated that this city wall carved from stone could not only prevent living people from entering, but even prevent ghosts from entering through the wall.
Kuiqi said proudly: "Brother, although I am not very capable, I am definitely the confidant of the Territory Lord! When you enter our Southern Territory City, just treat it as if you are entering your own home!"
"If anyone bullies you in the city, just call me by name. That's absolutely right! I will take you directly to the Domain Lord's Mansion now! This will also let you know that brother, I am by no means a freeloader!"
As we spoke, we rode the hell dogs forward arrogantly. When the ghosts in the city saw the hell dogs we were riding, they all retreated and did not dare to come forward.
Everyone knows that those who are qualified to ride hell dogs are people close to the new domain lord. How can ordinary people dare to provoke them?
The Territory Lord's Mansion is located in the very center of Southern Territory City.
Speaking of this mansion, it is quite interesting. It was built when Mr. Ghost, the first domain lord, was in office. At that time, the Ten Thousand Demons Pit had not yet completely occupied the Far North Icefield, but it was just a sneaky place in the uninhabited area.
There are several footholds in the area.
Later, Mr. Ghost died in the Exorcism City, and was beaten to death by Liu Guoguo in exchange for his life. The owner of the mansion was changed before it was completed.
Later, the Tsing Yi Ghost King also died in the battle, and the mansion was still not repaired.
Later, during the Shanhaiguan counterattack, the territorial lord of the Southern Territory died again, and the mansion was still not repaired.
In just three years, the owners of the Southern Territory have changed countless times, and the mansion has been repaired again and again.
The stumbling block lies with the current new Territory Lord.
This new Territory Lord is also very interesting. He is dressed in black robes and is nicknamed the Black-robed Ghost King. As soon as he took office, he received the task of returning to the far north ice field for repairs.
After he returned to Nanyu City, he immediately stopped building the mansion and then moved in grandly.
The black-robed ghost king said that the current precarious situation in the Southern Territory has a lot to do with the construction of this mansion. Now that the construction of the mansion is stopped, the prosperity of the Southern Territory will be just around the corner.
It's quite funny to say that this black-robed ghost king is also a part-time Feng Shui master, and he is the kind who only watches ghost houses.
After entering the mansion, Kuiqi, who had always been very arrogant and arrogant, finally became cautious. He handed the hell dog to the guards of the mansion and walked in with me. As he walked, he whispered: "Brother, let's
It doesn’t matter how you show off outside, after all, we are the domain lord’s confidants.”
"But in the Domain Lord's Mansion, you have to keep a low profile. Anyone who can enter here has a status inferior to my brother and me. If you can avoid causing trouble, try not to cause trouble."
I suddenly looked down upon Kuiqi a lot. He was also a bully and afraid of the strong.
However, although I felt contempt in my heart, my face remained calm and I replied: "Don't worry, I won't let you down at the critical moment."
Kuiqi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I just asked, the Territory Lord is at the martial arts field. Did you know? With the Lord's order, heroes from all over the world came to participate."
"In addition to the masters who have not joined the army in the Ten Thousand Demons Pit, there are also some newly promoted evil spirits! I even heard that there are fierce people from Middle-earth who also want to serve the Lord of the Territory!"
"But who is the Territory Lord? He is one of the six Territory Lords of Ten Thousand Demons Pit! How respected is his status? He really looks down on the average master!"
"So this time on the martial arts field, the Territory Lord is actually selecting real experts to participate in the war against the living dead. Brother, you are recommended by me, but you have to give me a long face and don't be dismissed.
.”
While we were talking, we had already walked through the corridor and entered a large martial arts arena.
As far as I can see, this martial arts arena is at least as big as a football field, but its shape is different.
There are two high platforms in the martial arts arena. One high platform is a ring, and there are two evil spirits fighting on it.
There was also a high platform filled with banquets, with all kinds of feminine wines and distinguished masters from the Southern Region sitting on it.
I took a closer look and saw that there were a total of one hundred and eight seats there, including seventy-two silver seats and thirty-six gold seats.
On these seats, there are more than a dozen evil spirits sitting sparsely, all of them are unruly, closing their eyes and meditating.
These one hundred and eight gold and silver seats surround a tall throne. On the throne, there is a ghost king in black robes sitting in it, with bright eyes, staring at the two ghosts on the opposite ring, frowning slightly.
.
This ghost king in black robes should be the newly appointed lord of the Southern Territory.
The ghosts in the arena were fighting fiercely, but under the arena, there were densely packed ghosts and ghosts everywhere. There were at least two thousand in number.
These evil spirits kept shouting and shouting as if they were on stimulants, cheering on the two ghosts fighting in the ring. Just watching them made me frown secretly, and I felt quite irritable.
Kuiqi whispered: "Brother, did you see the one hundred and eight seats over there? Those are the one hundred and eight ghost generals that the Territory Lord wants to select!"
"Among them are thirty-six gold ghost generals and seventy-two silver ghost generals! These are the main force against the living dead!"
"The Lord of the Territory has said that this time the ghost generals will be selected, the stronger one will win. Anyone who thinks he can sit on that seat can go to the ring and fight!"
When he said this, he glanced at me and said with a smile: "Brother, we don't have high hopes for the Golden Ghost General. As long as we can seize the position of a Silver Ghost General, my recommendation will be in vain! If you succeed by then, don't worry.
Forgot about me, brother."
I smiled and said: "Don't worry, with my ability, let alone the silver chair, even if it is a gold chair, there is still a chance to compete for it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone next to him sneer: "Where did you come from, you have such a big tone!"
