The night wind full of yin energy and cold roared across the vast grassland on the Yuque hunting ground. The free ghost fog rolled up whirlpools, and the grass was churning in the wind under the ghost fog. The friction of the grass leaves was lingering around.
There was a rustling sound in the ghost fog.
The fluorescent mushrooms surrounded by grass flashed with strange green light under the night sky, blending into one with the green ghost fog. I can't see where the fluorescent mushrooms are?
Even the insects dormant in the grass can only hear the sounds but not see the insects.
The mountains in the distance also became blurred by the night and ghost fog. In the night sky, you can only vaguely see a vast outline. The rugged strange rocks and towering ancient trees in the mountains are also obscured by the night and ghost fog.
The tents are continuous, and the Xiao Shizhu camp surrounded by horses is still calm and quiet.
The news of the emergencies between Xiao Shizhu and Guimu did not spread immediately. Without most soldiers' knowledge, the camp was not panicked at all, and the morale of the army was still stable.
In the central army tent in the middle, the lights illuminated the shock on the faces of Guimu and Yingying. Yingying didn't know much about Huangquan, but the Guimu almost knew Huangquan well.
This time I went to ask for help, which was different from Xiao Shizhu's previous search for help in Yunmengzhou; Huangquan is a place with real poor mountains and rivers. Moreover, the environment was not only harsh, but also gathered the failed creations of the ancient gods.
In order to satisfy the joy brought by creation, these ancient gods created all of them extremely evil things, and many of them were creatures that only knew how to kill. The Yellow Spring was far away from the underworld, and time had changed. The magical weapons of the past were back then.
Is it an unknown?
The ghost mother was unwilling to let Xiao Shizhu take a risk in a dangerous place for a faint hope.
The ghost mother frowned and worried again appeared in her eyes. But Xiao Shizhu's face was as firm as ever; he had to go to this Huangquan, and he had to make Jiuyou Country stronger no matter what.
The Emperor of Fengdu is constantly strengthening himself and using more magical and ghost techniques to strengthen his ghost soldiers, just to destroy Xiao Shizhu and Jiuyou Kingdom. Xiao Shizhu and Jiuyou Kingdom are at the forefront of this storm,
It cannot be unchanged anymore. He and his ghost kingdom urgently need foreign aid to fight to the death with this ancient god.
He had no way out and always did this. As long as he lost the war with the Northern Yin Dynasty, he and his family would not even have a chance to reincarnate. Moreover, his ghosts would have a dark day in the future, Xiao Shizhu could imagine how dark his days would be.
get.
He shoulders the expectations and hopes of tens of millions of ghosts, and even if he doesn't save his life for himself, he cannot live alone.
So Xiao Shizhu will not give up any chance. Even if he has a slim hope, he must seize the hope. And this trip to the underworld should be early rather than late, and he should not hesitate.
"Master, please step back, we are all fine. If you have a false alarm, you will run for the middle of the night. Thank you for your hard work." After hearing this, the ghost mother wanted to speak and stopped. Her eyes were red, she said that after she said that she was already slightly red.
National teacher Yingying said softly.
The national teacher Yingying originally wanted to persuade Xiao Shizhu to stop entering the underworld. But at this time he also noticed the emotional fluctuations of the ghost mother, and knew that the couple needed a time and space to be alone, so he wrote down what they wanted to say
They were all pressed down on their hearts for a moment, stood up very consciously, saluted Xiao Shizhu and Guimu and stepped back.
In the huge tent, only Xiao Shizhu and Guimu were left again.
The ghost mother stared at her smiling husband with red eyes. However, only anxiety and worry remained in her heart, and she couldn't laugh.
"I'm afraid." In a moment, the ghost mother shook her whole body and her eyes became redder, and tears kept surging in her eyes.
"Not afraid." Xiao Shizhu gently took her into his arms and comforted her softly: "I'm hard-earned; after so many years, haven't I lived well too?
Leaving a few scars outside the body is basically nothing serious. But I have to go to Huangquan, even if there is only a trace of hope, I cannot miss it because of fear. This is my responsibility and what I should take on."
He said it casually, but his tone was full of confidence.
It seems that Huangquan, who was scared to be talked about by the ghost mother, was just a place name in his opinion, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
When he finished speaking, the firm expression on Xiao Shizhu's face had turned into gentleness. He raised his hand and wiped away the tears that had been flowing from the corner of the ghost mother's eyes without getting tired of it.
The candlelight turned red, and the Buddha was covered with a layer of glow in the big tent.
"Then I'll go with you." After a moment, the ghost mother who stopped crying raised her head, looked at her husband's smile, and said with a strong sense of determination: "Let the Fuling Supervisor, let the country, let the country
The ghost ministers assisted in the administration, and I went to the underworld together."
If Xiao Shizhu insists on taking risks, she cannot sit idly by. Since the ghost mother cannot persuade Xiao Shizhu, she also hopes to be by Xiao Shizhu's side.
Xiao Shizhu was shocked when he heard this; he didn't want his wife to accompany him to take risks. Although he didn't think Huangquan was dangerous, it was just on the premise of going alone. If he wanted to bring his wife with him, Xiao Shizhu would not agree.
So he shook his head left and right without thinking, and while vetoing the Ghost Mother's proposal, he quickly thought about the remarks left by the Ghost Mother, and then said firmly: "No, I can't leave both of them."
, This is a journey to the Yellow Springs, life and death are unknown, and the location is not in the underworld, so I can't let you take risks with me. Besides, if both of me leave, the news will not be blocked easily. Once the news is leaked, the country will inevitably be due to this.
If the morale of the army and the people are unstable, the ghost soldiers of the Emperor of Fengdu will also flock to you. You have to stay and stabilize the morale of the army and the people, and make everything the Jiuyou Kingdom do the same, so that foreign enemies dare not act rashly."
The firm expression on his face rose again as he spoke, but it never faded away. Although the ghost mother didn't want him to take risks, she knew at a glance that Xiao Shizhu was determined to enter the underworld and seek victory.
The hope of the Emperor of Fengdu.
She knew that it was useless to say too much, and no matter how much she said, she would not change her husband's determination. The anxiety and worries in her heart increased instead of reducing.
"Also, if I can't come back alive, your assistant Fuling will complete our mission, make all ghosts equal, and no longer be suppressed by tyranny and the Northern Yin Dynasty..." After thinking about it, Xiao said again
Shizhu, before the last word "force" could be said, the ghost mother had already raised her hand, and her fair and delicate palms covered his lips slightly opened, blocking what he wanted to say.
When Xiao Shizhu was suddenly stunned by the sudden rise of the mouth, a cold suddenly arises from the ghost mother's palm.
The ghost mother glared at him and said coquettishly: "You are not allowed to say such unlucky words. You have to come back alive and come back alive."
The cool night wind was blocked outside the tent, but the tent was blown away. Only a little ghost fog floated in along the gaps in the curtains of the tent raised by the night wind.
It spread out in the big tent.
The two ghosts in the tent looked at each other and the ghost mother let go of her hands. Xiao Shizhu smiled and promised the ghost mother, "I must come back alive; why do I bear to give up you and my daughters? What if I don't come back?
See you again?".
As always, I used teasing and told me this guarantee.
But Xiao Shizhu is an alternative. He really can't believe what he says to you seriously. Often, when he doesn't speak properly, most of them are unreliable.
The ghost mother knew his virtue well, and the anxiety and worries that were dizzy in her heart also faded a little.
She believed that her husband would do what he promised him. But after all, it was to go to Huangquan, a strange and full of crisis. In order to allow her husband to come back safely, the ghost mother immediately put away her body.
Anxiety and worry began to consider who to choose to enter the underworld with Xiao Shizhu.
According to Taishanfujun, although the entrance to Huangquan is only opened, after opening the entrance, you can pass three or five ghosts at a time. In this case, Xiao Shizhu can also bring three or four guards to Huangquan. And so
Come on, Xiao Shizhu's ghost life safety can be guaranteed with another layer of security.
The ghost mother, who thought of this, snuggled in Xiao Shizhu's arms, leaned her head against her husband's strong chest, and told her husband softly about the suggestions she had thought of.
There was no other ghost around, and the ghost mother also faded away her dignity and solemnity and instantly became a well-behaved young wife.
After saying it one by one, the ghost mother raised her head slightly, stared at her husband from bottom to top, with her sparse short-shaped bearded chin, and slowly said: "Take a few guards, don't take risks yourself.
”.
"Well, I thought of this too." Xiao Shizhu put his head a little and said proudly to his wife as usual: "I thought about this question as soon as I woke up; if I go, I plan to bring Qinyuan with me.
.”.
Xiao Shizhu didn't say it casually, but after careful consideration. Qin was his brother in distress and was loyal and reliable to him. He accompanied him from Fengdu to Shuoyue Island, and then to Yuque City, Xuanyanzhou.
They are all loyal. The key is that Qin Yuan used to be a divine servant, proficient in some assassination magical techniques, and is a master of reconnaissance.
When Xiao Shizhu was still a ghost slave, Qin was so capable that he could calm down. He easily bypassed all positions in the Ghost Mother Palace and sneaked into the palace quietly, bringing him what Xiao Shizhu needed.
And I have never missed it once; and when I enter the Yellow Spring, I cannot bring too many ghosts, and I cannot bring too many unnecessary and incompetent ghosts. It is best to bring ghosts who are resourceful, literary and martial, and have hundreds of tricks to defend themselves. Like Qin
It turns out that such a genius is the most suitable. Xiao Shizhu must have taken him into the Huangquan. He can not only investigate the unfamiliar environment, but also assassinate the enemy he encountered in the Huangquan, which caught him off guard.
The lights around the bed swayed, and the dim red light became stronger. The fragrance of requiem in the incense burner surrounds, covering the dim red color.
"Then I will recommend another ghost to you - the national teacher Yingying." After a little thought, the ghost mother also thought it was feasible, and it was enough to recall Qin Yuan from the Nanman. At the same time, she thought about Xiao Shizhu:
"The perception of the national teacher is different from that of other ghosts, and it is very important to predict dangers very well. Moreover, her medical skills are far above most ghost doctors in our country. I can feel more at ease with her accompanying me."
The flames settled down on the candlesticks around it.
Xiao Shizhu frowned slightly in the firelight and began to ponder.
Indeed, taking the national teacher away is also a good choice, and as the ghost mother said, Yingying's perception can do a lot when going to the strange place in Huangquan.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Shizhu felt it was feasible, so he nodded and agreed.
"Our vacation seems to be over here." Then he let out a long sigh and said to the ghost mother: "I will go out and announce the camp to return to the palace and make a plan to enter the Huangquan as soon as possible." (To be continued.)
