The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng hesitated, but still endured it for a while, and walked all the way to the small courtyard. When there were fewer people around, he dragged Ji to a street corner and asked in a low voice, "Where did you see it?"

The wall at the corner of the street is sparse, with a few big holes broken through, and you can see some willow grasses sparsely planted in the deserted courtyard inside the wall.

Seeing that his expression was extremely serious, Ji Chong couldn't help but feel uneasy, and said hesitantly, "I'm wrong... I don't know."

Lu Sheng said: "It's okay, if you make a mistake, I don't blame you."

Then Ji Chong smiled and said: "Brother Lu, you really don't blame me...Guo Qian's move seems to be derived from the axe method. I saw it in half an old book at home."

The so-called bold and axe, these two types of weapons have something in common, if they evolve from each other, it makes sense, but why did Guo Qian know it?

Lu Sheng asked again: "What book is it?"

Ji Chong shook his head and said: "The book is dilapidated, I don't know how many years it has been, and there is only the second half of it, and I don't know the name. However, there is a Xing Tian drawn on the page. I don't know who invented the nameless move, and dared to pretend to be in ancient times. Under the name of God, I took a few more glances, so I still have a little impression."

The word "Xing Tian" fell into Lu Sheng's ears, his heart tightened suddenly, he quickly grabbed Ji Chong's arm, and asked, "Is this true?!"

Startled by his expression, Ji Chong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Really! Seriously! If you lose your head, you can still hold a shield, dance with your relatives, and resist in a corner. From ancient times to the present, there is no other colony in the world except Xingtian's family!"

Lu Sheng was full of shock and worry, and was distracted by his nonsense. He calmed down, let go of Ji Chong, and then said with a smile: "You kid, you are almost scared by your nonsense."

Ji Chong touched the tip of his nose embarrassingly, and murmured in defense: "I, clearly have something to say first..."

When he was still dissatisfied, a lump of mud flew out from the courtyard wall and hit him on the head.

The weather was hot, and the mud was dry and cracked. When it hit Ji Chong's head, it fell apart, and dust rose up. Kicked open the dilapidated door of the family, and shouted: "Who... woo..."

Countless clods of mud flew out from the door again, hitting Ji Chong with a face covered in mud, and hurriedly pushed away. Baili Xiao and Yang Xiong hurriedly followed behind Lu Sheng. Looking into the courtyard, he saw the dilapidated In a courtyard full of weeds, four or five teenagers aged no more than thirteen or fourteen were standing in a row. They were all ragged, thin and short, with high cheekbones and dark complexion. The big black and white eyes glared angrily at the sergeants at the door.

Behind these boys, there are two girls of about the same age, guarding three children who are only four or five years old. Their bodies are clearly trembling, but their eyes are full of hatred and stubbornness, and they fall on everyone like needles.These teenagers were bare-chested, showing their bony chests and backs, tattered taupe-brown leather skirts full of holes around their waists, and thick calluses on their bare feet. They were indescribably miserable.

Ji Chong was furious at first, so he turned around and pulled out his long sword. After seeing the scene in the courtyard clearly, he was immediately discouraged and retracted his long sword embarrassingly.

Seeing that the group of teenagers were about to throw mud again, Lu Sheng hurriedly said, "You guys, be safe and don't be impatient..."

A boy who was a little taller suddenly burst into angry shouts, but his words were soft words, and then the boys once again showed a look of common hatred, and while roaring angrily, they picked up a clod of mud and smashed it towards them.

Led by Lu Sheng, the four mighty Habayashi guards were helpless and had to leave the gate in embarrassment. Yang Xiong suddenly turned his head and said something to the courtyard. Only after the block had stopped, Yang Xiong said something again, and the young boys in the courtyard immediately started arguing with each other.Although Lu Sheng was surprised, he just asked, "What did they say?"

Yang Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "It's just... swearing."

Lu Sheng said: "You talk to them, if you have any difficulties, just talk to us."

Yang Xiong then said a few more words to the courtyard, a sharp voice rang out from the courtyard as if responding immediately, Yang Xiong was always simple and honest, but at this moment he also showed a look of rage, his face was flushed red, his hand was holding a sword hilt with bruised veins, and he was about to rush out. Then he still took a deep breath, let go of his hands slumpedly, frowned and said: "Brother Lu, don't worry about these barbarians, let's go."

Seeing his grief and indignation, Lu Sheng couldn't help asking, "What exactly did you scold?"

Yang Xiong clenched his teeth, his eyes were red, he just shook his head and said nothing, when Lu Sheng asked again, he clenched his fists and turned away.It's just that the back is staggering and embarrassed, but Lu Sheng can't speak and order him to stop.

The remaining three looked at each other, becoming more and more at a loss. Ji Chong sighed: "After all, they are only barbarians. It is difficult to educate and discriminate between right and wrong. Brother Lu, why don't you just leave." Bailixiao naturally responded: "Yes Yes, that’s right, don’t add extra complications.”

Naturally, Lu Sheng also knew that years of fighting and the people's lives were in dire straits, and his own efforts were only a drop in the bucket. However, now that these fatherless and motherless street children were right in front of him, he couldn't ignore it. While hesitating, he heard Guo Qian Asked behind himself: "Lord Lu, what happened?"

The teenagers in that courtyard were probably more courageous because of their previous success. When they heard someone's voice, they immediately shouted and cursed loudly. Although Lu Sheng couldn't understand it, he could tell it clearly. It was the same as the one who scolded Yang Xiong before One sentence.

Guo Qian happened to walk over with his subordinates, and the scolding naturally fell into his ears. From Guo Qian to his subordinates, everyone showed expressions of fury.

Guo Qian sneered and said, "A dog that loses its family dares to yell and talk wildly, so kill it."

Several sergeants responded: "Yes." They walked towards the courtyard, and Lu Sheng shouted anxiously: "Stop!"

But no one listened to his orders, so he had to quicken his pace in desperation, rushed to the front of the line of sergeants, stretched his arms across the gate of the courtyard, and shouted: "Guo Qian, tell them to stop!"

Baili Xiao and Ji Chong followed closely, and together with Lu Sheng stopped at the gate of the courtyard, the two sides were at war with each other, and they were about to make a serious move, Guo Qian had no choice but to order again: "Wait a minute."

Lu Sheng watched the tall man separate from the crowd and approach step by step. The forbearing and generous Guo Baifu in the past disappeared. The tyrannical and domineering Guo Xiaowei in front of him has deep and cold eyes. When approaching, everyone is afraid. It has long been the same as before. It's like two different people.Lu Sheng couldn't help recalling the tiger-striped kitten licking its paws and saying in distaste: "Guo Qian stinks very badly. Although I don't know what kind of ghost it is, it is definitely not kind." He stared at Guo Qian tit for tat with a straight face.

Guo Qian approached, but laughed softly, and sighed: "Lu Sima, when I first met you, I was overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity, and I am still heartbroken to this day. However, Mr. Lu, can you Have you ever heard those barbarian brats scold something?"

The subordinates brought by Guo Qian have already surrounded the dilapidated small courtyard. The dilapidated courtyard wall can't stop elite soldiers and strong generals. They can break in after Guo Qian gives an order. These young people also know that they Having caused a great disaster, or weeping in a low voice, or trembling, only the young man who looked like the leader, with dark and deep eyes, still gritted his teeth, glared viciously at Guo Qian and the Central Plains soldiers who were staring at him all around.

Lu Sheng said: "I don't understand Rouran, and I'm going to ask Mr. Guo for advice."

Guo Qian said: "They keep saying that they are scolding two-legged sheep."

As soon as the three words were spoken, Lu Sheng and the three gasped, but the soldiers around them let out deep gasps of restrained anger, their eyes turned red with hatred, or they silently drew out arrows and put them on the bowstring, or He drew out his saber and long spear, facing each other with the blades facing each other, and only waited for Guo Qian's order to chop up the group of barbarians who were only four or five years old and no more than [-] or [-] years old.

China is in chaos, the Central Plains are in ruins, wars are raging for thousands of miles, tigers and wolves are fighting for power, and even thousands of miles are starved to death, and the people are in dire straits.The barbarians did not do farming, and after they invaded the Central Plains, they plundered and killed people wantonly. What's more, they captured the people of the Central Plains and raised them in groups. They marched and drove them away. two-legged sheep".

The three characters of "two-legged sheep" are the deepest humiliation and scars in the hearts of the Central Plains people. Even if it came from the mouth of a child with childish words, it still made all the soldiers on the spot feel sad and angry, and it was hard to describe.

Even Ji Chong's eyes were red. Although he was still following Lu Sheng to block the door, he couldn't help turning around and cursing, "A bunch of beasts!"

The young man who looked like the leader suddenly roared and rushed out. Seeing Ji Chong pulling out his sword, Lu Sheng took a step forward in desperation and stood between the two of them. , was bitten fiercely by the black and thin boy.He bit hard and deeply, a pair of dark green eyes glared at Lu Sheng fiercely, and a low growl came from his throat.

Although Lu Sheng was in severe pain, his heart was unavoidably trembling at this moment. Ninety-nine percent of his demeanor and demeanor were like a desperate lone wolf in the wilderness, but he was not at all... not human.

When the boy bit him, Guo Qian strode closer and raised his hand, but Lu Sheng shouted again: "Stop!" He only ordered Baili Xiao to help restrain the boy's hands and feet, and then pinched the boy with his right hand. The young man pinched the acupuncture point on the lower jaw, and the young man suddenly felt his teeth become sore and limp, and he couldn't use any more force to bite.

The young man didn't know what trick he used, he was shocked and angry, but he still didn't fear. Seeing Lu Sheng withdraw his hand, he turned his head and bit down hard. There was an exceptionally crisp and loud knocking sound, and I don't know how much brute force was used.

Lu Sheng then withdrew his hand to check, but saw a half-circle tooth mark on the upper and lower sides of the palm, the bone was deeply visible, and blood gushed out.

As soon as Guo Qian grasped his hand, his voice was extremely gloomy, "Lu Sima? Come quickly, give me the medicine!"

Behind him, a middle-aged man dressed as a military adviser stepped forward quickly, wanting to apply bandages to stop the bleeding of Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng couldn't resist, so he could only say: "It's just a skin injury..."

Guo Qian raised his head suddenly, his eyes were extremely dark, like a bottomless dry well, he passed beside Lu Sheng, grabbed the young man's neck as thin as a duck's neck, and suddenly pulled it out from Baili Xiao's hands, Fortunately, Baili Xiao let go quickly, otherwise he might have directly tore off the boy's neck.

The remaining teenagers and children were startled and angry, and rushed up one after another while shouting, but they were easily restrained by Guo Qian's subordinates, who either caught or lifted them up. Although the unfamiliar soft words kept coming and going, no one dared to repeat the words just now. The words were over, only the shrill screams and cries filled the courtyard, making it a sad and noisy mess.

Lu Sheng was stunned, looking at Guo Qian with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and easily lifted the boy in the air, his five fingers slowly gathered, like a noose wrapped around the boy's neck.

The boy was still struggling with his hands and feet, like a roast goose hanging in mid-air, his mouth was dripping with blood, the blood stained from biting Lu Sheng's palm, and the blood that shattered the gums from biting the air, dripping down the corners of his mouth .With the difficulty of breathing, his temples bulged, and his face became more and more gray, both ferocious and miserable.

Guo Qian was determined to torture him, and the delay was so long that the young man could only raise his two hands and pat Guo Qian's iron-cast arms in vain.

Knowing that the generals were furious, Lu Sheng allowed Guo Qian to torture the boy, but seeing that his life was in danger, he could only persuade him, "Guo Qian, small punishment, big warning, don't take his life seriously."

Everyone around was talking in anger, and they were even more dissatisfied with Lu Sheng's blocking action, but Guo Qian treated him with courtesy, no one dared to speak rudely, only dared to be angry in his heart.

Even Baili Xiao took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, this kind of bastard is punishable by everyone, so why bother talking."

Ji Chong said bitterly at the side: "The miscellaneous barbarians are all like animals, death is not a pity!"

Guo Qian didn't respond, but his eyes became darker and darker, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was enjoying the performance of a dancer and singer.

Lu Sheng grasped the scabbard, and tapped several acupoints on Guo Qian's arm with his backhand. On the ground, dying.

Seeing Guo Qian's dazed expression, he said in a deep voice, "Guo Qian..."

But the burly man turned his head, looked at Lu Sheng and let out an incomprehensible roar, backhanded the waist knife of a soldier beside him, and slashed at Lu Sheng's head with a sharp sound of piercing through the air.
