Strange Records of Xijing

With the help of the ghost general, Su Yan and Pei Jingxing's journey went much smoother. Occasionally, when they encountered unlucky walking corpses, they were all dealt with by the ghost general's subordinates without the need for the two of them to take action.

"It's strange, why has it changed so much here." The ghost general looked at the layout in front of him and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Pei Jingxing glanced at the ghost general and asked, "Isn't it like this before?"

"No," the ghost general shook his head and said, "someone found my coffin and moved my coffin and my subordinate's coffin here. I heard someone outside the coffin mention that they want to make this place a second one." Xijing, we need to set up formations here and in Xijing."

Pei Jingxing had never heard of this matter before, he suddenly became alert and asked again: "What is that formation for?"

"I don't know." As he said that, the ghost general stretched out his hand and pointed to the right, and two Yin soldiers consciously went over to deal with a walking corpse who had heard the sound.

Pei Jingxing asked again: "Where is the formation?"

"I don't know," the ghost general still shook his head, "At that time, the master couldn't retreat, and I had no place to fight, so I just took my men and lay back in the coffin. If it wasn't less this time...Young man, your blood awakened me , I should continue to lie in the coffin."

Pei Jingxing thought of the talisman paper that had accidentally fallen out of his arms, and also thought of the first time he and Su Yan confronted tens of thousands of Taoist priests over a year ago, Su Yan was clearly fatally injured, yet he showed an extraordinary The scene of the regenerative ability, and then asked: "Su...is there anything strange about his blood?"

The ghost shrunk the two flames in its eyes by half—as if a person squinted their eyes by half—and looked at Pei Jingxing: "He is not an ordinary person. By the way, your surname is Su?"

The last sentence was asked by Su Yan.

Su Yan nodded, but he didn't tell him his real name - the name has magic power, if a ghost with ulterior motives knows the real name, there will be endless troubles.

The ghost general seemed to see Su Yan's concerns, so he didn't ask any more questions, but continued the previous topic: "I heard people say that it was the idea of ​​a Taoist priest next to the prince who became the emperor. Is it gone?"

Pei Jingxing replied: "The crown prince led the army to rebel and was ordered to die by the late emperor. Now he is the youngest son of the late emperor, that is, the half-brother of the abandoned crown prince, who has become the emperor."

The ghost general has seen a lot of dynasty changes for more than 1000 years, and he is not interested in these. He just gave a faint "oh" and didn't say anything more.

The two corpses walked forward for a while, and there were faint roars and cries in front of them.

Before Pei Jingxing and Su Yan could react, the ghost general relied on his height and gave the order: "Kill!"

All the Yin soldiers got the order, the big swords in their hands moved forward together, and rushed up!

At this time they got closer, Pei Jingxing's expression changed when he heard the crying, "It's Zhao Shimin."

The ghost general heard the words and asked, "Why, those two people are your companions?"

"Yes." Although Pei Jingxing had conflicts with Zhao Shimin, he didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury at this time, "There are four of us, and those two are our companions."

The ghost general let out a few strange noises from his throat, and the Yin soldiers in front reacted quickly, splitting open the walking corpses besieging Gao Zekai and Zhao Shimin, while surrounding Gao Zekai and Zhao Shimin for protection.

Because Gao Zekai and Zhao Shimin did not memorize the general route of the city before entering Little Xijing in this basin like Su Yan, so after they left Pei Jingxing and Su Yan, they were quickly lost in the criss-crossing roads among.

Zhao Shimin is timid and has no skills, but he was spoiled by his parents since he was a child, and he has developed a personality that is the greatest of all.Under the protection of his father's generation, Zhao Shimin became friends with Zhu Zhiwen and others after he entered the prince's guard. A group of dandies worked hand in hand, making him more extreme in his actions, and he couldn't control his temper when things went wrong.

He remembered the curse on his back, and coveted the ghost seal that Gao Zekai was holding, several times he wanted to get closer, even to touch the ghost seal, but Gao Zekai found it every time.

Zhao Shimin was frightened all the way, but forced by reality, he had no choice but to hold back his attacks. Now that he saw Gao Zekai defending himself like he was guarding against thieves, he got so excited that he forgot his situation and started arguing with Gao Zekai.

Unfortunately, a walking corpse approached the two of them, and they heard Zhao Shimin's loud voice, and they came over.After Gao Zekai dealt with a walking corpse that rushed up, he realized that he was negligent for a while, and Zhao Shimin ran away in fright.He left his companions behind and ran away by himself, but he still ran all the way, shouting for help, and attracted all the walking corpses nearby.

Zhao Shimin himself had no skills, he was frightened out of his wits when he saw so many walking corpses, and ran back all the way, crying and calling for help to Gao Zekai, which resulted in both of them being surrounded by walking corpses.

Gao Zekai struggled to support, and Zhao Shimin also pulled out his sword inlaid with many gems, barely protecting Gao Zekai's back - although Zhao Shimin had no skills, he also knew that he had to rely on Gao Zekai if he wanted to survive.

At the critical moment when the two of them could hardly hold on, suddenly a group of soldiers with strange shapes came and broke through the encirclement of walking corpses.

"Pei Street Envoy, Daoist Su!" Zhao Shimin's crying face instantly turned into a smiling face after seeing who came, and even his address changed, "I knew you would be fine... Ah! This, this, this... None of them are human!"

Pei Jingxing and Su Yan ignored him, and the ghost general uttered a few more weird syllables. After the ghost soldiers killed the walking corpses, they stood behind the ghost general again.

"I can't leave yet, I can only send you here," the ghost general bowed his head and said to Pei Su, "Do you know the way out?"

Pei Jingxing nodded: "I remember."

"That's good." There was a stiff smile in Ghost General's voice, "Young man, you act openly and aboveboard, and I trust you very much. I hope you can take care of him for me after you go out."

"You don't need to tell me, I will take good care of him."

The flames in the ghost general's eyes lit up a little: "Okay, when you die, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Su Yan: "..."

As the focus of one person and one ghost's conversation, Su Yan suddenly didn't know what to say.

The four of them reunited, Gao Zekai felt uneasy facing Pei Jingxing and Su Yan, but Zhao Shimin didn't have any worries.After the ghost general and his Yin soldiers left, Zhao Shimin asked enthusiastically: "Pei Jingxing, what is the origin of that guy?"

Pei Jingxing didn't want to talk more with Zhao Shimin, so he simply asked Gao Zekai: "Is the Ghost Seal still there?"

"Yes," Gao Zekai patted his waist, "I've been watching."

Zhao Shimin felt that he had lost face, and felt that now that he got the ghost seal, his curse would be lifted sooner or later, so he was not as polite as before: "Gao Daoist, I have never seen that ghost seal, let me show it to open my eyes. "

Gao Zekai smiled and shook his head: "The matter is of great importance, and the ghost seal should not be easily shown to others. When I return to Xijing, I will present the ghost seal to His Majesty, and Young Master Zhao will ask His Majesty to ask for it."

Zhao Shimin became more and more dissatisfied, and decided to grab it: "I said I want to see it now, so I want to see it now. Hand over the ghost seal quickly, or be careful, I will be rude to you!"

Gao Zekai was more impolite than him, raised his eyebrows, and shouted sharply: "Presumptuous! This ghost seal is what His Majesty wants, you dare to do it?"

Zhao Shimin was really scared when the name of the emperor was mentioned, but he was only afraid for a while, and then regained his confidence: "We found this ghost seal after a lot of effort, so what if I take a look? Didn't you say that?" , can the curse be lifted by getting the ghost seal? Anyway, it’s almost a month’s journey back to Xijing from here, so what’s wrong with letting me use it first? Pei Jingxing, do you want to lift the curse on your body?”

Zhao Shimin learned his lesson this time, knowing that talking alone was not enough, so he wanted to drag Pei Jingxing into his boat.

It's impossible to say no, but if you say yes, wouldn't it be cheaper for Zhao Shimin?

Just when Pei Jingxing was hesitating, Su Yan suddenly said: "Zhao Shimin is right, anyway, there are still more than 20 days before returning to Xijing, why not lift the curse on the two of them first."

In this way, Gao Zekai became a minority in the team.

"Forget it," Gao Zekai had no choice but to compromise, "This place is still in the formation, it's not safe, and we'll lift the curse for you after we pass the stele."

Zhao Shimin accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not make further progress.

Perhaps because they got the Ghost Seal, everyone felt relieved. They didn't walk for long this time, and they saw the stone tablet they saw when they came in.

Zhao Shimin was overjoyed and couldn't wait to ask Gao Zekai for the ghost seal.Gao Zekai had no choice but to hand the ghost seal to Zhao Shimin, and said: "Hold the ghost seal and don't move, the curse will be lifted naturally."

As Gao Zekai said, Zhao Shimin just held the ghost seal for a while, and the pattern behind him disappeared.

Hearing Zhao Shimin's cheers, Su Yan reminded: "It's time for Pei Jing to go."

After being aggrieved for so long, Zhao Shimin didn't want to continue to hold his breath anymore, so he simply pulled out his sword and yelled, poking and kicking around the stele.

Gao Zekai frowned, and was about to stop Zhao Shimin's reckless move, but suddenly heard the sound of a machine gun coming from a corner, and then several stone walls suddenly appeared around him!

Pei Jingxing was the first to react. He rolled Su Yan in his arms and avoided the trap on the ground, but bumped into a hard object—it turned out to be another stone wall.

"Gao Zekai! Gao Zekai!" Pei Jingxing hugged Su Yan, looked at a stone wall that was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly called Gao Zekai's name.

No response.

Su Yan noticed Pei Jingxing's panic and asked, "What's going on?"

"There is a mechanism. Many stone walls suddenly popped up on the ground, separating us from Gao Zekai and the others." Pei Jingxing explained the current situation to Su Yan. "There is a stone wall in front of us that is approaching continuously. It seems that trying to pinch us to death."

"Is there a mechanism wrench nearby?"

"No, the space here is very small, and there are stone walls on all sides, so there is no wrench." Pei Jingxing let go of Su Yan, and placed the dragon head and tiger tooth gun horizontally between the two stone walls, "I'll see if I can stop the stone wall. "

The stone wall kept approaching, and the tip of the dragon-headed tiger-tooth gun was against the stone wall. The body of the gun was slightly bent, and a piece of the gold plating on the tail of the gun was worn out.

Pei Jingxing knew the dragon head and tiger tooth gun very well, he took the gun back with great effort, shook his head and said, "No way."

While speaking, Pei Jingxing noticed a line of writing on the stone wall behind him, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and when he saw the line of writing clearly, he couldn't help but gasped.

Su Yan noticed Pei Jingxing's gaffe, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Su Yan frowned: "What happened?"

"I……"

Pei Jingxing's hesitation made Su Yan feel flustered. He fumbled with both hands, finally grabbed Pei Jingxing's wrist, and asked again: "What's the matter?"

"I found... I found a way."

The doubts in Su Yan's heart became bigger and bigger: "What way?"

Pei Jingxing took a deep breath: "If one of us dies, the mechanism will be solved."

"Ridiculous!" Su Yan cursed, "Who told you that?"

Probably surprised by the way Su Yan gritted his teeth, it was rare for Pei Jingxing to be weak in front of Su Yan, and obediently replied: "It's written on the wall."

"Can you believe what's written on the wall?" Su Yan said bitterly, "Since this agency wants to trap us here, how could it be kind enough to tell us a way out?"

When Su Yan said this, Pei Jingxing's originally confused head suddenly came to his senses: "That's right, since the person who set up this mechanism wants us to die, there is no need to do anything extra and tell us the way. This... this person wants to kill us." We kill each other!"

After figuring this out, Pei Jingxing's back was covered with cold sweat: "This man is so vicious, he has already trapped us with a trap, and wants us to kill each other before we die."

"It's a pity that he miscalculated." Su Yan's mouth slightly curled up, "We won't do that."

"Of course." Pei Jingxing saw the contemptuous smile on Su Yan's face, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

"Su Yan, do you think we will meet again in Huangquan after we die?" It was probably because he was about to die, and Pei Jingxing could no longer control his heart and mouth.

Su Yan smiled: "If we died together, maybe we can go to Huangquan together and wait in line to drink Mengpo soup."

"I have one thing. I must tell you before I die, or I will be filled with resentment and turn into a ghost after I die." Pei Jingxing looked at Su Yan bewilderedly, "In order to go to hell with you, I must speak out."

Su Yan was curious: "What's the matter?"

Before he finished speaking, he fell into a warm embrace.

"I like you, I like you, I like you, I have wanted to hug you for too long." Pei Jingxing hugged Su Yan tightly, resting his head on Su Yan's head, and said repeatedly, "In short, Even if I die, when I get to the Hall of the King of Hell, I will ask the King of Hell to let us meet earlier in the next life, so that we will never let down 20 years of time."

Su Yan's heart was shocked, he didn't feel disgusted at all, but joy spread all over his body.He trembled all over, as if he had returned to the time when he first induced the sky thunder, and accidentally led the sky thunder to himself.

"I...I..." Su Yan rested his head on Pei Jingxing's shoulder, "If the Ghost Emperor disagrees, we will demolish his temple."

Pei Jingxing was taken aback for a moment, then realized, and said ecstatically, "You agreed?"

It was Su Yan who answered him with a more affectionate hug.
