I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Liuzi kept muttering along the way, and to sum it up in one sentence, the ghost temple was haunted and he didn't dare go there, and that place was full of graves. It was getting dark, and it would be better to go tomorrow if it was dark.

But none of the three men paid any attention to him, and there were more than 20 soldiers following him. Pingshan finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he put his arms around Liuzi's neck and covered his mouth.

We hurried along, and by the time we reached the cemetery, it was already completely dark.

They walked further and further away from the city, and there were fewer and fewer people, until there was no one left.

There was a sparse forest in front of me. It was autumn and all the leaves had fallen. There were bare tree trunks scattered here and there, and the branches were swaying in the night wind.

Today is a full moon, and with the moonlight, the entire cemetery looks even more eerie and terrifying.

Through the gloomy grave mountain, there is a dark shadow in the distance, which should be the ghost temple that Liuzi mentioned.

I heard from Liuzi on the way that this place was not like this before.

Thirty years ago, this place was a village and the temple there was quite popular.

Later, a plague broke out in the village and the imperial court ordered the village to be sealed off. In a village with hundreds of households, only dozens of people were left.

Thanks to the development of a prescription for controlling the plague, these dozens of people were able to save their lives. The imperial court sent people to burn all those who died of the plague.

Those dozens of people erected a monument for the entire village.

A temple that was once very popular has become an empty temple now that all the monks inside have died.

No one dared to come to this place again, and it gradually became deserted.

Later, if a single person died in the city or nearby villages and had no place to bury him, they would be buried here.

About a few years ago, there were rumors that the Ghost Temple was haunted. Since then, the temple was renamed the Ghost Temple and no one dared to come there at night.

However, there are still people coming during the day. The dozens of people who survived that year have settled down in the city, and their children will come to pay tribute to the villagers.

The group did not dare to alert the enemy, so they did not light torches, walked lightly, and quietly approached the ghost temple.

As they walked, Jiang Yuan suddenly grabbed Xie Yunxiao's sleeve and pointed to a grave nearby.

There were several plates in front of the tomb. There were no offerings on the plates, but there were some crumbs of pastries left.

Xie Yunxiao squatted down, wiped it with his fingers, and whispered, "These pastries are new."

After saying that, everyone looked at the dark shadow of the ghost temple in the distance.

If someone comes back to steal offerings from the dead for no reason, it means there is someone here.

Xie Yunxiao gave orders in a low voice, and more than 20 soldiers were divided into three teams, approaching the ghost temple from different directions.

In the front, there are Xie Yunxiao, Qu Jin and the other two with their six children.

The ghost temple was pitch black, and the broken door creaked in the wind, making the surroundings seem even more eerie and terrifying.

It was quiet except for the sound of wind blowing through the door and branches swaying.

Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound, followed by the soldiers' muffled groans.

It scared the few people who were about to enter the haunted temple.

There was already a noise, and everyone understood that they were ambushed. They stopped being cautious and Xie Yunxiao pushed open the broken door and walked inside.

The next second, Xie Yunxiao suddenly turned sideways, drew out his sword, and shot down the short arrow flying towards him with a few clangs.

Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin followed behind him. Qu Jin also drew his sword, but Jiang Yuan was empty-handed and did not bring a sword.

When Liuzi saw that Jiang Yuan had no weapon, he mustered up his courage, walked up from behind, and stood in front of Jiang Yuan, leaving Jiang Yuan stunned. This kid is not bad.

As they walked into the yard, several short arrows flew at them from three directions at the same time. Qu Jin and Xie Yunxiao swung their swords and shot them down.

Two short arrows flew towards Liuzi and Jiang Yuan. Liuzi thought that he would die today, so he resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.

He only heard two snapping sounds in the air, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Yuan in front of him, with a long whip in his hand and two broken short arrows at his feet.

There was no time to care at this moment. The soldiers who were surrounding the temple from the left and right sides behind lit torches one after another, and the dilapidated temple suddenly became bright.

Xie Yunxiao said to the dark room, "Cao Lei, come out."

It was quiet and no one responded.

"Cao Lei, your eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother have all been arrested, and all the property you robbed together is gone.

Don't make any more futile struggles. If you come out today, you may still have a way to survive."

After a while, footsteps were heard in the dark room, and then the broken and leaky door opened.

A man in military uniform walked out in a somewhat embarrassed manner. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes rolled up, and stared fiercely at the three people in front of him.

"It's you..."

"Cao Lei, when did you recognize me?" Xie Yunxiao asked.

Cao Lei suddenly laughed twice, "I don't know you, but after you appeared, everything around me started to feel a little strange."

"It feels quite sensitive, what a pity."

"What a pity! If it weren't for you, I would have saved up enough money by now to enjoy the world."

"You have obviously joined the army successfully, you have food, drink, and salary, isn't this what you asked for?

If you want freedom, why join the army? "

Cao Lei finally raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky. "Can I have whatever I want? I want freedom, but the price of freedom is hunger.

So I wanted to fill my stomach and joined the army, but military life is harsh and there is a risk of losing one's life at any time. Who would really be willing to join the army?

If life didn't force them, who would be willing to die?"

Cao Lei almost shouted the last sentence.

Jiang Yuan's voice came from behind Xie Yunxiao, "Who said no one is willing? For a seven-foot-tall man, defending the country is a matter of honor for the family.

A real man should make achievement his life goal.

Even if you cannot achieve great success in your career, you should still be down-to-earth and earn a good life for yourself and your family.

You want freedom and you want to have enough food to eat. When you have enough food to eat, you want to eat good food. After eating good food, you want a spacious house to live in. Next, you want someone to serve you, a beautiful wife, a son, and finally you want to be respected.

People's desires are endless, and they should rely on their own efforts to live the best they can, rather than using dirty means to get what they want. "

Jiang Yuan's words obviously had no effect on Cao Lei. As the saying goes, no one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Cao Lei pointed at them and laughed sarcastically, "You, you all come from aristocratic families, you have everything when you are born, what right do you have to speak so sarcastically here?

I failed today, but eighteen years later, I will be a hero again."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yuan's whip had already wrapped around his neck, and Cao Lei was directly pulled out by Jiang Yuan and fell to the ground covered with dead leaves.

Jiang Yuan stepped on his back, squatted down, and whispered in his ear, "People who are full of sins will not be reincarnated. In the endless hell below, you should atone for your sins for eternity."
