What is it like to be led around by a ghost?

Yu Mohui has been wandering around Jiongwu like a wandering spirit for three or four years. It's not that he hasn't tried to wake up Jiongwu, but every time he wants to touch Jiongwu, he just walks past him.

At the beginning, I still tried it a few times a day, but after a long time, I got used to it, and it became like wearing and dressing on Jiongwu's body every day...

He suspected that Tiandao didn't do it to hone his patience. It would stay in other people's memory for three or four years. Which normal person would stand it?He has never stayed so long in his own memory, and he doesn't know how long it has passed in the real world outside...

The time is long, but sometimes it doesn't feel long, it seems that it is the time when flowers bloom and fall. Yu Jiu is already 12 years old.

For the past three or four years, regardless of the weather, Yu Jiu would go up the mountain to gather herbs every day to meet Jiong Wu, and Rong Qi would often come to play with them, perfectly interpreting what it means to be carefree and free.But Yu Mohui knew that such days would not last long.

He is waiting for an accident to come.

As usual, when Yu Mohui was wearing Jiongwu's body, Yu Jiu stepped on the sun and went up the mountain.The weather is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it seems to be just an ordinary day-if the army in black and iron has not come.

Fenghui Mountain has a high and steep mountain, and people say that "when the wind comes, it will return", so it got the name "Fenghui".Moreover, the mountain road is rugged and dangerous, which can be said to be a natural barrier, directly isolating this unknown village from the outside world. Even the tax is collected once every five years, and it is collected for five years at a time.Every time the officials who came to collect taxes complained endlessly, half their lives would be lost if they came from the opposite side of the mountain, let alone transporting five years of taxes back together at one time.

The last time taxes were collected was two years ago, so this group of black-clad troops definitely did not come to collect taxes.

Yu Jiu was hugged by Jiong Wu, hiding her breath and hiding behind a big tree.

There were about a hundred people in this army, and their whole bodies were wrapped in black armor, and their faces were covered by ferocious black iron masks, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The huge black and deep pupils filled their eyes, without any brilliance, cold and lifeless.

Their steps are uniform, and they maintain a neat formation even in the deep mountains and dense forests. They travel fast and show no signs of fatigue.

What's even more abnormal is that Jiongwu doesn't feel popular with them.They don't look like corpses either, corpses will have ghost aura attached to them, but they don't have ghost aura.

Holding the official flag of the imperial court, they walked towards Yu Jiu's village.

When they were far away, Yu Jiu asked in a low voice in fear: "Who are they talking about? People from the court? Why is it so strange, it feels chilly."

Jiong Wu frowned: "I don't know, they don't look like people, nor do they look like ghosts. There may be an accident in the village, I have to follow them, you stay here and wait for me to come back." Then, he said He wanted to leave, but Yu Jiu grabbed his sleeve.

"Now is not the time to be willful," Jiong Wu said with a serious expression, "I can't see through them, and there are so many of them, it's too dangerous, I can't take you there."

"But you leave me here alone, what if I am also in danger? You take me there, I will not hold you back, I will run if the situation is dangerous!"

Jiongwu hesitated for a while, but still hugged Yu Jiu and chased after her.

The marching troops in black clothes quickly blocked the entrance of the village, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

The village chief hurried over, seeing the official flag of the imperial court fluttering in the wind, his attitude became more respectful, he bent down and bowed his hands to salute, tremblingly said: "Masters, I don't know what you are here for?"

The official flag was flying, but no one spoke, and no one took any action.

The village chief stood in front of them, feeling the cold air on his face, but his back was already wet with cold sweat.He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, saluted again, and said again: "It's a long journey, you officials and lords must be tired, why don't you go to the village to have a meal and rest for a while, I'll call someone to give you Prepare housing and meals. It’s just that the houses in the village are shabby, and the food is simple, which is not as good as the exquisite and delicious food in the city. Please don’t dislike it, gentlemen.”

With that said, he stood aside, got out of the way, and made a gesture of please.

But this dark army remained silent.

All of a sudden, a needle can be heard.The busy farmers, weavers, and chatterers all put down their work and surrounded them.Everyone felt the strange atmosphere, feeling uneasy and having an ominous premonition.The timid child clung to his parents' arms and hid behind them, but cautiously poked out half of his head to look at the black-clothed troops.

The village chief was sweating coldly and swallowed. None of these people were looking at him, and no one paid attention to him, but he felt that there were icicle-like gazes on him, and his heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy weight , making people breathless.He didn't dare to speak again.

No one moves anymore.

Jiong Wu hugged Yu Jiu, covered the aura of the two of them, twitched the hand formula, and shot out a spiritual energy.Seeing that the aura was about to hit the soldiers in the last row, it was bounced back the same way by an invisible wall, hitting Jiongwu, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

In an instant, Jiong Wu's hair stood on end, his body felt like a needle prick, and he felt as if a huge eye was staring at him coldly.

Don't talk about the invisible wall just now, just talk about the aura that was bounced back.What he shot out was the purest and most refined aura, but what bounced back was a cold and ruthless mana—the power of a monk who was close to deification.

Yu Jiu hastily wiped away the blood from the corner of Jiong Wu's mouth, her pupils trembling.

Suddenly, the wind and cloud changed suddenly, and black clouds covered the sky, blocking the sun.The leader, the iron face in black, looked up at the sky, and the soldiers behind him immediately dispersed, pointing their spears at the villagers.

The villagers were terrified by this sudden change, and the women hugged their crying children tightly, at a loss.

"Official...Master Guan has something to say, something to say..." The village chief fell to his knees with a plop.

Jiong Wu felt the huge eyes look away, and his clothes were already soaked in cold sweat.

"Is it serious?" Yu Jiu asked, his eyes were full of panic.

Jiongwu looked at the village in a tangled look, gritted her teeth, grabbed Yu Jiu, and ran up the mountain: "Hurry up! I can't deal with this place, you will only die together here!"

Yu Jiu was held in Jiong Wu's arms, and the wind whistled in his ears: "Why? What's wrong? Who are they? What about the people in the village?"

"You go first! I will come back and save them!"

Yu Jiu couldn't see Jiongwu's face, but Yu Mohui could clearly see the panic, fear and despair in Jiongwu's eyes.

They reached the top of the mountain in no time.But there was an invisible wall at the top of the mountain. On one side, the sun was covered by black clouds, but on the other side, the sky was clear.

"Kuuuuuuuuuu!" Jiong Wu bumped her head against the wall and was bounced back.

He was hit badly, and Yu Jiu in his arms was also numb from the shock.

Yu Jiu raised her head, and before she had time to ask, she saw Jiong Wu looking at the front in a daze, her lips trembling: "It's over, the enchantment is complete, everyone must die..."

"Exactly... what happened?"

The color on Jiong Wu's face was gone: "I don't know, it's like an enchantment of the underworld, but it doesn't have a ghostly aura. Maybe... maybe it was made by a monk who made a deal with the underworld."

His breathing was disordered, and he still hugged Yu Jiu tightly: "I will protect you!" His eyes suddenly became fierce, and he slammed into the barrier again.

"Bang!" He was bounced away again.

Hit again!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Blood flowed from one side of Jiongwu's body, and Yu Jiu was held in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't hit it! Don't hit it! You're covered in blood!"

Jiong Wu turned a deaf ear, gritted her teeth, and kept bumping towards the barrier.

After several times, the enchantment finally had some fluctuations.

Jiong Wu's eyes lighted up: "There is movement! Let's try again! It will definitely work!"

Yu Jiu's face was covered with tears, and he moved his mouth, but before he could make a sound, his facial features suddenly wrinkled together, and he cried out in pain: "Ah—"

White mist flowed out of his body and rushed down the mountain—his soul was being pumped out!

Jiongwu immediately released the aura from her whole body to envelop Yu Jiu and his soul tightly.

There was a strange singing sound in the village, which was soul-stirring.

The man in black and iron mask took off his mask. Behind the mask, there were many skulls.

The enchantment covered the secret, and the skeleton was singing.The sound of wind and birdsong has disappeared, and in this world, apart from people's painful wailing, there are only strange singing voices left.

Yu Jiu's soul was still being pumped out, and the vortex surrounded by spiritual energy seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

"Ah—" Yu Jiu howled in pain, and beads of sweat rolled down his face.

Jiong Wu panicked and said, "What to do, what to do, what to do—"

Looking at the seemingly invisible and scattered white mist of the soul, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The same white mist overflowed from his time, entangled Yu Jiu's soul white mist, and then passed through the barrier of spiritual energy, extending down the mountain - exchanging life for life, replacing Yu Jiu's life with his immortal lifespan.

Yu Jiu gradually calmed down, and the white mist of his soul gradually returned to his body, leaving only a small hum from time to time.

But Jiong Wu's face became paler, her lips became redder, the corners of her clear eyes showed a little seductive color, and the aura around her gradually dissipated.

The wailing and screaming from a distance gradually subsided, and the eerie singing tune was still stretched out.He looked at Yu Jiu with gentle and sad eyes, and tears fell from his eyes.

"Sorry..." He apologized softly.

Yu Jiu slowly opened his eyes, with a sick and tired look on his face.

"I only saved you alone." He choked up, "I'm not strong enough to protect all of you..."

His tears fell on Yu Jiu's face, and Yu Jiu began to cry too, like the kind of sadness that passes through tears, the kind of sadness that the wind blows through the bare woods without the rustling of leaves.

Jiongwu circulated the power of her body again, but at this time, what was transferred was no longer pure white aura, but lavender monster aura.

"I'm no longer a fairy who can protect you, I'm just a monster who winds back to the mountains now."

The lavender converged into thick purple, and quickly rushed towards the barrier.

"Kang Dang!" This time it was the sound of the barrier breaking.

Jiongwu pushed Yu Jiu out with her monster force: "Yu Jiu! Don't turn back! Don't come back again!"

In an instant, the shattered barrier closed again, Yu Jiu had been pushed to nowhere by the demon force, and Jiong Wu knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

After a while, the chanting stopped.Jiong Wu got up and wiped away her tears.Go straight to the skeleton army.

Just when he was about to get close, the eyes like needles pierced his body again.Someone was looking at him, but he couldn't see that person, as if the dark sky was a huge pupil.

Jiong Wu ignored this line of sight, circulated all her monster energy, and struck at the skeleton army with one palm.

But a strange force, like a wave of a sword, hit Jiongwu to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"A mere little monster, dare to make trouble in front of me!" A young but majestic voice came into Jiongwu's ears, as if it came from the sky.

Afterwards, it seemed that there was a thousand weights on the top, and Jiong Wu was firmly pressed to the ground, unable to move.

"Forget it, your demon life is not on the book of life and death in the underworld, so I will show mercy and spare your life."

The skeleton army lit torches and set fire to all the houses in the village.

Every villager who fell on the ground stared wide-eyed, unwilling to die. Their ferocious expressions and painful postures all showed their despair and helplessness before they died.

But now they are all submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

The flames soared into the sky, and the black skeleton army also turned into black ash and scattered on the ground with the flames.

Jiong Wu was still pressed to the ground, helplessly watching the sea of ​​flames engulfing the entire village, her tears were dried by the heat wave, leaving only tear marks on her face.

Yu Mohui knelt in front of the sea of ​​flames and shed tears.

After the fire burned, only a piece of scorched earth remained.

The scene in front of him twisted and changed, Yu Mohui once again stood among the dense forests, Yu Jiu walked over with his half-sized backpack on his back...
