Born of Worry

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, a hundred ghosts walk at night.

"Long, Brother Long, you, you, are you... not afraid at all?"

Mo Wen closed the dragon's eyes, and the dragon's beard swayed slightly with the water flow, and he didn't want to pay the slightest attention to this cowardly snake.

The black snake turned into a prototype, became smaller and wrapped tightly around Mo Wen's body. Mo Wen was strangled by him, and finally couldn't help but opened his mouth: "What are you afraid of?"

"Today, today is July and a half..."

"so?"

"As soon as the child's hour arrives, the ghosts will travel at night..."

"so?"

"We, we are too close to the underworld, so... so there will be ghosts passing by here..."

"Then?"

"You, aren't you afraid of evil spirits taking over your house?"

Mo Wen was unmoved, "I haven't heard of any evil spirit daring to take away the dragon's house." After a pause, "And, as you said yourself, you have stayed here for more than 800 years, and more than [-] seven You haven't been taken away for a month and a half, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"But, but..."

Mo Wen suddenly opened his eyes, "By the way, didn't you say that there are barriers here? Then ghosts...can pass through these barriers?"

"Yeah, just like those fish...can freely pass through the barrier."

"That is to say..."

"Say, say what?"

"Dead things can pass through the barrier? According to you, those fish come from the underworld, from the underworld, which means they are 'dead', and ghosts are also 'dead', so they can pass through the barrier. And We can't because we're still alive."

"Uh..." Black Snake was a little dizzy, "Brother Mo Long, what are you doing?"

"Don't do anything." Mo Wen lost interest in talking to him again. He used to think that he was stupid enough, but he didn't expect to meet such a snake, and then he realized that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there is a stupidity beyond stupidity.

Black Snake didn't know that he was despised by Brother Mo Long, and still clung to him tightly.Not long after, he suddenly trembled all over, and tremblingly said: "It, they are here..."

Mo Wen didn't even want to lift his eyelids.

Those who come into the water are basically water ghosts, that is, people who died of drowning, so the death status...you understand.

The black snake watched those ugly water ghosts drifting towards this side little by little, the three souls were about to go to the seven souls, and the body was shaking like chaff.Mo Wen sincerely despised him, and said in his heart that it was fortunate that he did not succeed in transforming a dragon, otherwise he would have lost face to the dragon clan.

"You are so timid, how dare you come out to do evil?"

"Ah? Ah...I...that..." Black Snake hesitated, unable to explain why, but his body became more tightly entangled, "Big, big brother, can you let them... let them go away?"

"They just passed by here, and they didn't hurt you. What are you afraid of?"

"You... how do you know, they have no intention of harming us..."

Mo Wen was annoyed by his noise, so he moved his body suddenly, opened his dragon's mouth slightly, and let out a long dragon's chant. When the water ghosts heard the dragon's chant, they also trembled, retreated, and quickly floated to the top of the water up.

"This time the head office?"

The face under the black snake's scales turned red, and he said, "Thank you, Brother Molong."

"Go and play, don't disturb my sleep."

"Good, good."

Roar--

That dragon chant seemed to cut through time and travel through space, and for some reason, it fell into Li Xian's dream.

"Mo asked..."

Li Xian slowly opened his eyes and tried to sit up, but his head was still dizzy and painful, and it took him a while to barely see things clearly.

It should be night, the room was lit, and there was some light, he got out of bed following the light, and saw a pot of familiar epiphyllum lying on the ground under the window, he smiled, and he didn't know who moved it from the study. here we go.

He opened the window habitually, but suddenly a gust of wind blew in, he frowned slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that the oil lamp on the table seemed to be dimmed.

Something's... not right.

Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly felt as if he was being pushed by something. Almost at the same time, the dragon scale on his neck became inexplicably hot, a gleam of light flashed, and then disappeared quickly.

"...Uh!" He fell down on the ground, but he didn't know what happened. He sat on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. At this time, he heard the third brother's voice: "Xiao Xian?"

It turned out that Li Ye had made a floor in his room, but because of the dim light, he couldn't find it.Li Ye woke up when he heard the noise, and rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong? Why are you sitting on the ground?"

He hurried over to help Li Xian up, Li Xian frowned and said, "Third Brother, something... seems to have entered this room."

"Something?" Li Ye turned his head and saw the window was open, and quickly closed it tightly, "What are you doing with the window open? Do you know what day it is today?"

"...what day?"

"Today is July and a half."

Li Xian looked around, but couldn't find what attacked him, "I was pushed by something just now, tell me... did I enter a ghost?"

"Ghost? It shouldn't be... This is the palace, the place with the most yang energy, and... you are the real dragon emperor, whoever this ghost entangles will dare not entangle you, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the oil lamp dimmed again, and then he was also hit by a force, but the thing was bounced away immediately, he took a step back and said: "Damn it! What a ghost!" !"

Li Xian looked at him, but he didn't ask about the ghost, but said: "It's strange, I have dragon scales on my body, so I didn't get caught by it. What do you have on your body?"

"Eh?" Li Ye thought for a while, then took out something from his bosom, "Should it be this? Lin Ruxuan gave it to me before he left. He said it was their ancestral amulet. It was a pair of peach wood ones. I have one for him." There is one, I am not willing to wear it yet."

He quickly put the amulet on, looked at Li Xian again, and said in surprise, "Why aren't you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

Li Ye sized him up, "Ghost. You're afraid of mice, but you're not afraid of ghosts?"

"Why should I be afraid of ghosts? Shouldn't it be afraid of me?"

"But it already wants to be with us."

"I have dragon scales."

"I have the amulet."

"..."

"All right," Li Ye shrugged, "Let's chat with it here tonight."

Li Xian yawned, "Talk about it yourself, I'm going to sleep."

"Hey! Can you really sleep?!"

"I'm so tired..." Li Xian jumped onto the bed and moved aside, "Don't sleep on the floor, let's sleep together."

Li Ye stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned around and yelled into the room, "Fuck! You! Mom! Come out if you want to! You bastard! Come out, son of a bitch! I'm not afraid of you!" !"

"What are you doing? Crazy?"

"Oh, shut up. The ghost is afraid of swearing. As soon as I scold it, it will run away."

"...Oh." Li Xian covered his head with the quilt, "Then scold slowly, I'll go to sleep first."

"Damn! Are you talking about loyalty, you!"

Outside Xinzhou City, the military camp.

Lin Ruxuan's tent was still brightly lit.

A map was laid out on the table, and Yanmen Pass, Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Jinyang were marked with eye-catching marks on the map.

He put down his pen, but he couldn't figure it out.

Tahan captured Daizhou City on June 160th, while Yang Qingping's Guangming Army did not arrive in Xinzhou until July 20th.Dai, Xin, and Jin are almost three points and one line apart, all about [-] miles apart, but this Tahan did not attack the city, and the [-] days in the middle were wasted like this until Yang Qingping arrived.

——To know the speed of the cavalry on the prairie, the 160 miles can be skipped in no less than one day. Even if the cavalry uses it, 20 days is more than enough.

Incredible.

The checkpoints around Yanmen Pass are the northwest defense line. Once Yanmen Pass and Daizhou are breached, Tahan's road to the south can be said to be unimpeded, but they don't go south to sweep and let this god-given opportunity be lost. Why?

Can't figure it out.

Cao Han led about 2 Yanmen garrisons, 6 of whom rebelled with him, and the remaining 6 were imprisoned by him.[-] rebels, plus [-] Tahan troops, a total of [-] people, and he and Yang Qingping have a total of [-] soldiers and horses. Fighting these [-] people... It is really difficult, especially when it is Yanmen Daizhou This is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

What's more, Yanmen Daizhou is only [-] miles away, and the hatchback supports it. It can be said that the iron wall is impregnable and unbreakable.

The battle a few days ago was also too weird - this Tahan didn't attack sooner or later, but when he and Yang Qingping joined forces to attack, they directly beat him back, which can be said to be defeated at the first touch.

The army that was able to capture Daizhou City in one day was blown away by two armies that had just joined together or even hadn't done much planning?Is this possible?

Could it be that their general and military adviser is a fool?But if he is really a fool, how did he quietly instigate the guard against the Yanmen Gate and take down the Yanmen Pass without any effort?

Really outrageous.

...and Yang Qingping's hasty temper, he insisted on going to recover Daizhou now, only to give up after being beaten up by him.

Everything is still unclear at present, probably we can only stand still and wait for the emperor's reinforcements.
