The Ascension of Ghosts

When Lu Sheng arrived in Gyeonggi, the two thousand feather forest guards were ready to go.He was ordered in the face of danger, and became a charioteer general from a mere Simin meritorious service. Although there are only two thousand people under his command, once he returns from his achievements, he will be able to rank in the imperial court and establish a government system as a general. , Guangzong Yaozu, everyone who hears it is envious.

The two thousand feather forest guards can follow him to make the first contribution. In the future, he will be the confidant of General Lu in triumph. The road ahead is certainly difficult and dangerous. Everyone is eager to try.

That's why Lu Sheng saw that the two thousand soldiers and horses were waiting in front of the formation, and they had long since had the ambition to go to the country's calamity generously.He felt a little comforted, so he didn't delay. After handing over the tiger talisman, he was about to set off, but the deacon of the barracks said: "General Lu, please stay, the Lord Overseer will be here soon."

Lu Sheng was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but frown. Since ancient times, in the army, no matter how high-sounding the names of warlords, supervising troops, and joining the army are, they have come to fight for power and profit with the generals who lead the army. Sure enough, the court has deep concerns for him. It's a heavy responsibility, but I don't forget to send someone to supervise, but I don't know who is responsible for the supervision?

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for a long time before he saw a dark horse carrying a person into the school grounds.That man was dressed in silver and white armor, wearing a pearl crown on his head, with a tall and straight figure and a beautiful face. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has bright eyes and bright teeth - the new warlord turned out to be Xie Xiao.

Before Lu Sheng could sigh, he saw commotion at the gate of the camp again, and dozens of people broke into the gate of the camp, kicking up dust billowing, and when he got closer, he saw the leader, crowned and dressed in a jeweled crown, elegant and elegant, he was indeed the current Crown Prince Sima heal.

The deacon and the deployment hurriedly went up to meet the two noble sons, and unexpectedly received two identical documents, both of which were orders to serve as military governors.A cavalry team of 2000 people is led by a general and two warlords. Isn't it going to fight?The deacon had never encountered such a thing before, so he was in a dilemma for a while, so he had to look at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng approached with a cold face, took the document and roughly scanned it, but didn't complain at all, he just cupped his hands and said, "I will take care of you both in the future."

Immediately without waiting for the two to respond, he turned around and ordered Su Daoquan: "Let's go without delay!"

He didn't want to drag down his colleagues in the Qingming Department, but Su Daoquan volunteered to go to the Western Regions together, and he was impassioned, saying that he was the wing of the country, and now that the country is in crisis, how can there be any reason to shrink back?It was sincere and sincere, saying that Bai Xiao, Yang Xiong, Ji Chong and others who had been friends with him had all been transferred to the Western Regions to guard the border, so it was a pity to leave him alone in the capital.

If it wasn't for when Lu Sheng left, Su Daoquan had returned to his hometown during two months of rest, otherwise he must have been among the people who followed.

Lu Sheng couldn't resist him, and thought of a few old colleagues, but these Chengxi Army didn't know him. If he had Su Daoquan's assistance, they would have more chances to help his comrades when they met on the battlefield in the future, so he simply named him as The generals set off together.

At this time, Su Daoquan was naturally full of energy, he clasped his fists, and answered yes in a loud voice, then got on his horse and passed the order.

Two thousand cavalry marched lightly, and the vanguard rushed out of the gate of the camp like a torrent, and then led by Lu Sheng, the brigade also rushed out of the camp, galloping towards the horizon where the vast blue sky and the earth meet.

Xie Xiao and Sima Yu each rode on a strong horse, but after a while they pushed aside Lu Sheng's attendants and followed him from left to right.First, Xie Xiao said: "Lu Sheng, I was entrusted by Xiao Rong to protect you. Although I am called the Warlord, I will never fight for power—you can just lead the troops with peace of mind."

Lu Sheng responded coldly, "I don't know who Xiao Rong is."

Xie Xiao choked, after all, he was suffering from galloping all the way, the cold wind was blowing, he had no time to make a long speech, otherwise he would have to drag Lu Sheng to talk about it, and make him believe that the one is still "Xie Rong".

Sima Yu also smiled and said, "Of course that person is not Xie Rong, otherwise why would I go out to avoid disaster... This warlord is just a cover, Lu Sheng, don't worry."

As soon as he said to avoid disaster, Lu Sheng recalled how this dude was bewitched by beauty and entangled Xie Rong in every possible way. He was funny and angry for a while, but he also felt a little sympathy for him.

Things are different and people are different, what a pity.

Now he was full of worries, he didn't have half of his mind to communicate with those two people, he only responded a few words, then he clamped his horse's belly and rushed straight to the front.

The two were left behind and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Sima Yu couldn't find anything to talk to Xie Xiao about, so he sat on the horse sadly and let out a long sigh.

Xie Xiao laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Why are you sighing?"

Sima Yu's petty thoughts are naturally not humane, he just said vaguely: "I also count it as a loss of a dear friend..."

Xie Xiao snorted and said, "I watched Xiao Rong grow up, and his words, deeds, and actions are imprinted in my eyes, so I know better than you - the current Xie Rong is his original appearance. If you When Xiao Rong is a close friend and he has found his true heart, we should congratulate him."

Sima Yu pondered for a moment, and then said: "If he abandons his past, how can he care about me again? If he doesn't care anymore, why should I wishful thinking and regard him as a close friend? If this is the case, which one is the best?" It's Xie Rong...what does it have to do with me?"

He looked at Lu Sheng's tall and straight figure in the smoke and dust, and suddenly smiled again: "These words I said are for Lu Baoyang."

After marching for half a day, when the sun was setting to the west, Lu Sheng and his party had already crossed Niushou Mountain and left the border of Jianye.

At dusk, everyone found a village and camped outside the village.

Naturally, Lu Sheng and the two warlords didn't have to live outside the village, and the village manager arranged accommodation for them.At night, the campfire outside the village was raging, and the melodious sound of the flute was heard from a distance, but what was sung was not an impassioned military song, but a very common folk song: "Red shrimp on a plate with snow lotus root, green radish on a water chestnut boat. Ask what you think ? The reed flowers fall on the bridge. I ask you what you remember? Whitebait with shochu."

The cold wind blows, everything withers in early winter, but the singing is full of bright spring, as if people can see the setting sun on the river, the smoke from the cooking on the bank, and the leisurely life of the people.

After all, it is the fledgling young Habayashiro, who is already homesick before leaving his hometown.

Lu Sheng met the leading generals, centurions and others outside, and went back to the wing alone. The village head sent two charcoal basins to heat the cold room, and Lu Sheng opened the window There was a gap, but a mallard squatted outside under the eaves, staring at the window without moving.

Lu Sheng opened the window a little, and sighed, "It's cold outside, come in."

The mallard didn't say a word, just flapped its wings, rushed into the room soundlessly, turned its head and grabbed something from its back and put it on the ground.

Lu Sheng took a closer look, but saw a bean-like figure on the ground, which turned into the size of an adult man in a blink of an eye, with black and black moire patterns rolled in purple-red dark clothes, with a handsome expression and gentle eyes. He cupped his hands at Lu Sheng and said with a smile: " I’ve seen Lu Gongcao... No, General Lu. I’m afraid General Lu won’t remember, my name is Ziyin, and I met General Lu once outside Dawangzhuang.”

Lu Sheng felt that this person's eyes were strange, and hesitantly asked, "Your Excellency is...?"

Zi Yin sighed: "The ground wolf that caused trouble belongs to my family."

It was only then that Lu Sheng suddenly realized that the ground wolf dug through the Tianchi and caused a catastrophe. He was almost shot to death by an arrow, but Zi Yin arrived in time, grabbed the feathered arrow with his bare hands, and saved the ground wolf.

He clasped his fists back and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turns out that your Excellency is that confused fairy. I don't know what you can do?"

Zi Yin smiled wryly, but he couldn't explain it, so he simply admitted it, and said: "Come down and say something for Mr. Xie."

Lu Sheng's face darkened, and he asked, "Which Mr. Xie?"

Zi Yin was still smiling, and said: "It's a long story..."

He looked like he was going to have a deep talk with Lu Sheng, and nodded slightly to the mallard, and the mallard said in a low voice, "I can't go back to Dawangzhuang either... why don't I go and watch around."

The mallard's words were asking for Lu Sheng's meaning. Lu Sheng naturally agreed, and the mallard raised its round body and flew out of the window without a sound.

Zi Yin walked around the room again, his fingers slowly slid across the walls and cabinets, chanting words, a layer of shimmering pearls appeared on the walls, enveloping the two of them properly.Only then did Zi Yin turn around, and said solemnly: "General Lu, the thing in your hand has a lot to do with it."

Seeing that he still had something to say, Lu Sheng only responded, "How do you say that?"

Zi Yin hesitated for a while before saying: "General Lu, I shouldn't have said that..."

He stroked his chin lightly, walked to the round table where the cups and cups were placed, put the tea set aside, took out a black and black cloth from his sleeve, spread it on the table, and said with a smile: "I am If it is not for the creatures of Zhongzhou, no matter whether you are singing and dancing, or the smoke is everywhere, you will not be able to intervene, but fortunately, it is okay to say a few words."

Lu Sheng walked to the table, and saw the silver dots on the cloth, which were made of some rare treasures, and they were distributed in the shape of a constellation map.

Ziyin tapped his finger on the cloth, and said: "Originally, the star of the year is in the east, and the world is peaceful. If Yinghuo guards it, the outer barbarians will change; the star is in the middle, and the ruler of Shenzhou is eternal. If the sun invades it, the mountains and rivers will collapse... ..."

Lu Sheng sighed: "I don't understand astrology, please speak in human terms."

Zi Yin coughed lightly, and had no choice but to withdraw his hand and said: "In a word, Xuanyuan Huangdi woke up hastily, and his spirit was unstable, which attracted a group of demons, who wanted to divide the emperor and eat him. You keep that treasure for a day, The Yellow Emperor was in a dangerous situation for one more day——If you look at the celestial phenomena, Zhen Xing belongs to the earth and occupies the position of the Yellow Emperor, and the five stars return to the place of peace in the world. middle……"

Seeing that Lu Sheng's dark sword eyebrows frowned again, he quickly changed his words: "In short, even the celestial phenomena have omens, which shows that the future is dangerous, and everyone in the Central Plains is in danger, and there is no escape. Lu Sheng, there will be no eggs under the nest." , unless you walk with me, you are doomed to die."

Lu Sheng said, "Let's go together...?"

Zi Yin said with a smile: "There is a universe beyond the three realms. If monsters are raging in this realm, the human race will naturally be unable to stay."

Lu Sheng asked again: "How many people can you take away?"

Zi Yin laughed, shook his head and said: "Is it easy for you to take this matter seriously? With my ability, at most I can just bring Zuoxue and General Lu... As for Mr. Xie, naturally he will go wherever you go."

Lu Sheng had a thousand calculations, but no matter what, he never imagined that Zi Yin would come to talk to him now.The implication of Zi Yin's words is that your family is already defeated, so why bother to struggle, it is better to flee to other places to settle down.

He knew that this god-man was born confused, and he would have made mistakes when meeting with Zaoxue, but he may not be much smarter now, otherwise he might suspect that Zi Yin's words were to provoke him to hand over the Shenzhou tripod.

Zi Yin glanced at the star map, and picked out five stars one by one from the bright light all over the sky. From the original five-pointed star map, it moved its position and changed it to a yellow town star in the center. White, red, blue, A square with scattered four corners and four green stars.

Immediately, the five-star light kept flickering, turning from bright to dark, only one red star that symbolized Yinghuo became more and more intense.Yinghuo commits a house, the main army is in chaos, and the world is fierce.

He sighed: "The astrology is nothing more than a sign of God's will. Humanity has ruled the world for tens of thousands of years, flourishing and then declining, and now it is in accordance with the cycle of heaven and earth to rule the world. But I don't know why Mr. Xie can't think about it, he insists on summoning the soul of the Yellow Emperor to rely on , so tired that my soul has no place to rest..."

Lu Sheng's heart tightened, he grabbed Ziyin's lapel with his backhand, and said sharply, "What did you say?"

Zi Yin was stunned for a moment, and let the young man grab the skirt of his shirt, and asked blankly: "What did I say? I said that in the future, the four of us will travel together and travel around, and we will be happy...Zhanxue likes to be lively, But because of a misunderstanding, he waited for me alone for 500 years, and he was wronged. In the future, the four of us will be together, why not travel around Mingling Continent first..."

Lu Sheng saw that he was getting more and more out of tune, so he had to interrupt: "You just said that Xie Rong's soul has nowhere to go? But then... the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor told me that the flesh figurines were made by human hands, so no matter what The body and soul are all about the Yellow Emperor. Why do you have a soul now?"

Zi Yin stammered: "I, I never lied to you...Mr. Xie and I tried it when we were in Yizhou City. It's a pity that Hou Yan was too young and weak, and at that time he lacked a treasure that could support and protect his soul. , so although the theory is feasible, it still failed. Right now you took that... that treasure, and followed me to another world, even the emperor would be beyond reach. When the Yellow Emperor perishes, I will do the same, and I will naturally be able to get rid of it all At the end I will give you a thank you, Mr.

In Zi Yin's mind, this matter is naturally simple and feasible - if Zaoxue and Xie Rong change places, he will definitely not hesitate at all.Not to mention exchanging Zaxue's life for a Zhongzhou that has nothing to do with him, even if exchanging him himself, he would be very willing, without the slightest bit of reluctance.

So when he saw Lu Sheng hesitate, he opened his mouth in surprise for a moment, and said in astonishment, "General Lu... don't you... you don't want to?"

Lu Sheng let go, and said in a low voice, "Let me... think about it."

Zi Yin was embarrassed, he was just confused for a while, but he finally understood that the young man was born and raised here, and he was different from him after all.

Now he is asked to exchange the lives of his hometown folks and thousands of people for Xie Rong...

——But judging from Ziyin, it is naturally worthwhile.

Millions of other people, whether they are living or dying, whether they are sad or happy, how much do they have anything to do with Lu Sheng?No one thanks him for saving, no one blames him for not saving, so there is really no need to set up your own barriers and look for troubles.

Zi Yin put away the star map, and said: "General Lu, which is more important, you have to weigh... If you make a decision early, maybe Mr. Xie wakes up earlier and can try to save some relatives around you. "

Lu Sheng said softly: "How many people can you save?"

Seeing him walking into a dead end and refusing to accommodate, Zi Yin sighed for a while—he thought it was just a matter of a few words, and Lu Sheng would be able to happily take the Shenzhou Ding with him and fly away.After the two of them arrived at the underworld together with Yuxue, they woke up Mr. Xie, and the four of them became friends, roaming around in other worlds together, seeing all the strange scenery in the world, so happy.

Unexpectedly, this young man is actually a lump of elm, his eyes are limited to the survival of the world.Don't you know that in the three thousand worlds, there is life and death, which is very common.If everyone cared about it, there would be no gods in this world—I'd be too tired to die.

After all, Mr. Xie entrusted no one. If he had entrusted the tripod to Ziyin, he would not have to come here to persuade Lu Sheng.Xie Rong wanted to take Lu Sheng away, so the young man naturally couldn't resist.

Zi Yin couldn't answer, so he could only sigh instead: "Lu Sheng, Mr. Xie entrusted his life to you, are you going to let him down?"

Lu Sheng said with a sullen face, "If he can trust me, why doesn't he mention it to me at all?"

Zi Yin said: "The secret must not be leaked... If Mr. Xie mentions it, I'm afraid the Yellow Emperor's family will know about it. If the news leaks out, the opportunity will be lost. If you spend time with him day and night, you will naturally understand him."

Lu Sheng said: "Of course I understand...he is just relying on my soft-heartedness."

Zi Yin sighed: "It's just that General Lu is soft-hearted towards whom in the end, I'm afraid Mr. Xie may have guessed wrong."

Lu Sheng felt more and more tired and couldn't stand upright. He leaned on the back of the chair and sat down slowly, and repeated softly: "Let me... think about it..."

Seeing this, Zi Yin couldn't persuade him anymore, so he said: "That's all I have to say...Zhanxue dug a hole and hid Dawangzhuang very well. The Yellow Emperor will definitely not find it. General Lu doesn't have to worry about it. I want to Shouzhuang, I will bid farewell today."

Lu Sheng said, "No."

Seeing that he really closed his eyes and said nothing, Zi Yin knew that he would not get an answer today, so he sighed secretly, opened the window and went out.

Not long after Zi Yin had left, the night was already dark, the singers in the camp dispersed at some point and went to rest.In the quiet night, there suddenly sounded a piercing scream, piercing through the sky above the village, it was heart-piercing and extremely scary.

Lu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly in the darkness, stood up from his seat, grabbed the hanging pot, and rushed out the door.

The sky above the village was originally full of bright stars, but now they all turned into a little bit of crimson, as if countless blood spots were splashed on the night, which made people feel particularly strange and frightened.

Su Daoquan lived next to Lu Sheng and had fallen asleep early. He woke up in a panic, half-clothed in panic, followed Lu Sheng out of the room sleepily, and said blankly, "Brother Lu... General Lu, what happened? "

Lu Sheng didn't answer, but sternly said: "Order the whole army to be on alert!" He jumped out of the courtyard wall, which was no more than half a person's height, and rushed towards the place where the scream came from.
