Yan ghost

There is a person behind the curtain, leaning over the bed and dressing the person on the bed.A gust of wind blew in from the window and lifted the curtains.He turned his head, and there was a ghost standing behind him.

The ghost died tragically, with a sword pierced straight into his belly.When the person in front of the bed saw the sword, he lowered his head meekly and said, "Brother..."

Upon hearing this call, the puppet on the bed suddenly got startled, grabbed the neck of the person in front of the bed, and fell down together.

"What are you doing?" Yu Yin was taken aback.

"Who told you to call that?" Le Jun said proudly.

"It's not what you asked me to call."

"You promised yourself."

Yu Yin couldn't refute, she blamed herself for impulsively agreeing to this foolish thing, now every time he sees Le Jun's soul, he has to call out brother.

Yuyin turned around to break free.Le Jun smiled and let go, watching Yuyin sit up and tidy up his black robe of Great Yanshi.

Yu Yin muttered: "Still playing, if you are still alive, you will be an old man..."

"No." Le Jun vowed, "Even if it didn't happen, I would have killed myself 30 or [-] years ago and changed to an immortal body. In Yanfang, the only fate for old and weak kings is to be assassinated. Kick off the throne."

"In other words, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it." Yu Yin was a little surprised when he heard the answer at first, but he quickly accepted it.To achieve his goal, he risked his own life easily, isn't that what Le Jun would do?

If he thought of this in the past, he should feel a little sad, because he himself is also a pawn that can be discarded at will.But now he doesn't think so anymore.Right now, the whole country is united against the army of the fairy world, which is far above these emotions.He knew very well that all of Le Jun's actions were for this battle between heaven and earth.

Le Jun said: "I heard that there have been some rumors in the city recently that people from the heavens will not come."

Yu Yin nodded and said: "How can the people not doubt the waiting year after year. And it will be 50 years next month. There was such a wave of rumors ten years ago, 20 years ago. It seems that the people in the fairy world must It will be rounded up."

Le Jun said: "Perhaps behind this is more dissatisfaction with our vigorous development of the military, which has caused the whole people to die, and life is not fun at all."

"Do you doubt that there will really be a day when there will be a battle between heaven and man?" Yu Yin asked.

"If I had doubted it, I wouldn't have given up my life to prove it for you and your patriarch."

As soon as Le Jun mentioned this, Yu Yin felt guilty, although there might be more admiration behind it.He also knew that Le Jun used this matter to make himself sure, from every time he called his brother to never caring about him framing the patriarch and taking the throne of Wei Wang.But he has no complaints about it.

Fifty years ago, when Yan Lai was told that the Heaven Realm was going to attack Yan Fang, Yu Yin and Le Jun immediately called a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures.Later, when the news was released to the public, they thought they were going to try their best to guard against panic, but they didn't want the people to respond negatively.

At that time, there was a group of capitulators, and many of them were Yanshi.They advocated that a war with the heavens would lead to defeat, so it is better to slash the wooden armor with one hand to calm the wrath of the heavens and keep the human world peaceful.The capitulation faction expanded rapidly, and finally launched an uprising one day, broke into Dayanshi Mansion, and wanted to burn Yuyin to death.

Le Jun sent troops to the rescue.In terms of strength alone, the guards have the upper hand.However, the actions of the capitulation faction aroused fierce repercussions from the people. Just as the guards were about to take the rebels to the prison, riots broke out all over the city.

Le Jun made a decisive decision and swung his sword in front of everyone to kill himself.

Everyone present was shocked.At that moment, Le Jun asked Yu Yin to fetch the doll prepared for him earlier to possess the soul.He told people that although the heavens are strong, there is no chance of winning if they don't work together to resist. Now that he has become a puppet, he will swear to protect everyone in Yanfang.

Le Jun and Yu Yin walked to the terrace together.

The Yanfang capital in front of me is no longer the soft red ten feet in the past.Huge wooden fortifications were placed over the country, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to distinguish night from day.Lanterns are hung under the protective barrier, and countless ladders extend down, passing through the empty old capital, leading to the underground city.

Xiang Yan took the ladder down.Standing in the front and back are soldiers who have come down from the fortifications to go to various dungeons together.He looked at the city full of empty alleys on the ground, and he didn't know when people would come back to live here again.

Someone patted the shoulder from behind, looked back at Xiang Yan, and said happily, "Why are you here?"

Lin Jiang said: "The underground city is full of fish and dragons, I'm afraid there are many people who hate you." Xiang Yan pretended to be suspicious: "But with you by my side, I seem to be exposed more easily."

Lin Jiang looked at his attire, no different from the rest of the soldiers going down to the dungeon.After thinking about it again, he realized that Xiang Yan was teasing him again, and said coldly, "If someone protects you, you'll be picky."

The two walked through the corridor and came to the underground city.This dungeon was originally dug out by the Kaifang people to avoid the Soul Armor Army, but it has come in handy again after a lapse of time.All the brick and stone kilns are used in the city, and there is not a single wood product, because all the wood is supplied to the fortifications above.

Most of the people in the dungeon are women and children, just like a daughter country.Among them, women who are pregnant with Liujia are the most honorable.Boys in the city were divided into soldiers and Yanshi for training since they were young, and they would enter the heavenly fortification when they were old.There are no old people in the city, because people will be persuaded to kill and become dolls once they are young and middle-aged.

In addition, there are a bunch of stupid or willpowerless people who are left in the dungeon.Whether they are human beings or puppets, they serve women and children, and their status is extremely low.Generally speaking, everyone does not want to be classified as a useless person, but there are also a few people who are willing to do nothing to become a useless person and play with their lives in order to escape the doomsday battle.

A small number of soldiers will also be seen in the city.Some of them came down from the fortifications to visit their wives and children on vacation, and the other part was responsible for maintaining order in the city.After all, in this troubled world, thugs pretending to be women, destroying people, burning, killing, and looting often happen.

The two came to a tavern and sat down.Lin Jiang ordered a jug of wine and asked Yan for a drawer of buns.

"Why do you come to this place every time? It's dirty and noisy." Lin Jiang took a sip and said, "Alcohol is so so."

Xiang Yan bit the bun carefully and smelled the soup.Lin Jiang glanced at the sign at the entrance of the store, which said Yanfang 70-year-old brand.This shop opened from the ground, so the taste should not be bad.

Xiang Yan recalled: "I ate once when their house was open on the ground. Now I can't go up, eat a mouthful of buns, and I have more or less forgotten." He looked up at the top of the cave, but what he saw in his heart was not Yan Fang. , but the fairyland nine days away.

He took another sip of the wine, saying that the wine was not good, turned his head and stared at the two women at the next table.

One of the young women said: "Speaking of which, Chilan recently asked us to provide assistance and build fortifications." The young woman sitting on the side said: "I only think of defense now. What did you do decades ago?"

The young woman said: "That's not true. The emperor ordered a group of Yanshi to go there. Those people are not very willing. Now they go to Chilan to start from scratch. There is no time. The past is to die. So the emperor promised to those Yanshi's family members Priority living treatment in the dungeon. In this way, basically everyone agreed. After all, even if you stay in Yanfang, you don’t know if you can win. And this dungeon has been moving in newcomers, and it may be time to save other countries. , it is most practical to leave a priority for the family.”

The young woman said: "Chilan Hagana has been behind for decades, without the help of our Yanfang, it is impossible to resist the heavens." The young woman said: "But they have resources. These years, Yanfang's wood has been exhausted, so it can only be imported from other countries. All the people of Rouyi have surrendered to the heavens, and in recent years they have refused to trade with us even for immortal rice and herbal medicines. Chilan is not natural and confident enough to ask us for this or that.”

The young woman sighed: "According to me, Xiang Yan shouldn't have gone to the underworld so early to return Queen Chilan to the emperor. Back then, Chilan tried hard to persuade Chilan to build fortifications together, but Chilan didn't agree. It's better to stay until now. A bargaining chip."

The young woman also said: "More than that, I guess that Chilan's sudden change of strategy to build fortifications has something to do with this queen. When the Emperor Chilan was young, he swore against the wooden armor. Now that he has reached the age where he is afraid of death, he probably has something to do with it." I want to stay with the empress, so I said I have to fight with my back."

The young woman said: "I don't know if Rouyi will change his mind one day and join us to fight against the Heavenly Court." The young woman shook her head and said, "Rouyi has always admired the way of immortality, and when he heard that people from the heavenly realm would dare to fight against him. Back then Their former high priest, Qingyuan, talked to the Son of Heaven for several months, but finally retired to the mountains in dismay. I don’t think it’s possible.”

The young woman covered her mouth and said: "But I heard that in recent years Rouyi has raised a sect from the world, advocating finding a place to live in seclusion, preserving culture and future generations. There are rumors that many people who practice that school of magic are immortal, and they are most likely human I."

At this moment, a boy came to the table, tugged at Lin Jiang's sleeve and asked, "Brother, can you take me up there?" Although Lin Jiang's appearance appealed to the child, he couldn't handle him well, so he was at a loss for words.

Xiang Yan waved him over and asked, "How old are you?"

"twelve."

"You're growing quite fast. Then, do you plan to lead troops to fight like this brother, or do you want to be a Yanshi like me?"

As soon as the boy heard that Xiang Yan was Yanshi, he immediately got close to him.He took out a wooden armor and gave it to Xiang Yan.Xiang Yan played with it for a while, and said it was very good, the boy was overjoyed.

Lin Jiang said: "Since you are of the right age, let your mother take you to sign up."

The boy lowered his head and held back for a long time, then said: "My mother is gone." Xiang Yan softened his heart, patted the boy's head and said, "It's okay, I'll take you up."

Lin Jiang stopped Xiang Yan and asked the boy, "What's your name?" The boy hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Shen'er."

"Which Shenzi?"

"Shen... Shen at the time of Shen."

"Where did you learn Yanshu?"

"Of course it's the school."

"Then why didn't you let the teacher in the school take you there, but came to beg us?" Lin Jiang asked, and the boy fell silent.

Xiang Yan asked in a voice: "Didn't go to the school, I'm afraid this Yanshu is not solid." When the boy heard this, he became anxious, and hurriedly said: "I have been going, I... just listen in."

Lin Jiang said: "The school doesn't charge any money, why do you want to sit in? Could it be a girl?"

Shen'er had tears in her eyes, feeling very wronged.Xiang Yan's heart softened, and he pulled her up and said, "Brother scared you. Since I promised you, I will definitely take you up there. How about letting Fengzhu take you up then?"

Shen'er's eyes lit up, and she said, "Do you know Yanshi Fengzhu?" Xiang Yan said, "Of course. Remember, don't look for Fangxin after you go up, she is dangerous."

Lin Jiang shook his head and smiled, and left with the two of them.

Unexpectedly, the young woman at the side started up and called out: "My son." She rushed forward and pulled the child behind her, and said angrily, "You stinky man, why did you kidnap my daughter!"

Xiang Yan was startled, and asked with a wry smile, "You are so bold, your mother is right next to you and you still come to look for us."

The young woman said: "Where did you get your clothes? Did this man dress you up like this? Come home with me." The girl shook off the young woman's hand and said, "I don't want it, I want to go up and become a Yanshi!" The young woman scolded: "What kind of Yanshi is it? It's great to be in the underground city. Everyone is protecting you!"

Xiang Yan persuaded: "Mother, forgive me, your child's talent is better than many men above. Since she wants to be a Yanshi so much, why don't you help her?"

At this time, the young woman stepped forward and said, "Young master, what you said is wrong. In two or three years, this child will be able to find the best Yanshi or military officer to have a child. The doomsday battle is coming, this is not Yanshi. Should the Fang woman do it for the country?"

Xiang Yan was speechless at the woman's words.If he hadn't gone to heaven to cause trouble back then, this girl would be free to choose her life according to her own preferences now.

At this moment, the alarm bell sounded, and people hurried to hide.Xiang Yan asked Lin Jiang: "Is there a rehearsal today?" Lin Jiang frowned and shook his head.

It seems that the day they have been waiting for but are unwilling to face has finally come.

The two ran against the flow of people towards the exit.Suddenly, Xi'er broke free from her mother and chased after her, holding onto Xiang Yan's clothes.

Xiang Yan took out a psychic butterfly and handed it to her, and said: "You can't go up today. Stay here with your mother well. Next time, I will definitely take you away."
