Chapter 62: Ghost King Awakens

At dawn, Hong Jun opened his eyes again and completely recovered his strength. The bed was warm, as if someone had slept, the smell of Li Jinglong was still on the pillow, and there was a scent of plum blossoms beside the pillow.
"Zhao Zilong." Hong Jun sat up, holding the plum blossom, and asked, "Did you pick it for me?"
The basin is empty and empty.
"What about fish?" Hong Jun got up and looked around, but heard the excited voices of Li Jinglong and Mo Rigen not far away.
He put on the military uniform, fearing that the two would quarrel, but when he arrived in the hall, he shouted instantly.
Artest, dressed in the sable Qiu Daclo, holding the blue-blue fan of wind god, smiled and spoke to Li Jinglong and Mo Rigen, while the carp demon jumped a few times on the table, listening happily. Behind Artest in the hall was a young Turkic man with dark skin, messy hair, wearing leather armor and several flying knives on his waist.
Hong Jun thought that Artest would yell "Hey monkey monkey", but everyone expected to be quiet for a while.
"Atai!"
"Hong Jun." Unexpectedly, Artest laughed, with the joy of reunion in his eyes.
After counting the interest, he yelled "Hey monkey monkey" and stepped forward to hug him tightly.
Hong Jun did not expect that Artest was actually here. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He said, "You are here! You are really here!"
Artest laughed: "The Exorcism Division is in trouble, why can't it come? Hong Jun, this is my good buddy, Ashina Qiong, you two know each other, and both play flying knives."
"Galasmy." The Turkic youth pressed his hand on his left chest and saluted Zhao Hongjun, meaning "hello", and Hong Jun hurriedly returned with a fist.
Li Jinglong said: "I still lack Yongsi, and the people are all together."
"It's too far," Artest said. "I suggest we act first, don't wait for him, just leave a letter."
It turned out that more than a month ago, Atai brought an appointment document and called the past ministries on the ancient Wusun Dao, and just twenty days after he settled, he received the news from Li Jinglongtu caravan and immediately set off and returned Hexi.
According to the pinch, Qiu Yongsi sent the letter to the West Lake Mountain Villa. After the letter was delivered, he had to wait for the transfer. Even if Qiu Yongsi flew over, it was impossible to arrive before the spring.
"One is one," Li Jinglong said. "There are two more fresh troops, so I feel more at ease."
"Let's take a look," Artest replied. "When I passed Yadan, I grabbed one of these."
He said that Bi Taitai looked so good, shaking his fan, leaving the hall with them and coming to the campus.
"Hey, spit fire Luo Niangong." Carp demon said, "You are still a fan in such a big winter, aren't you cold?"
"This is demeanor." Artai Huang smiled and waved the Fengshen fan, the ring in his hand shimmered, the wind suddenly became warm, and the heavy snow suddenly rolled up.
"If you were there that day," said Mo Rigen, "you don't have to be so tired playing with the mysterious girl."
When the summer heat was heavy, a group of people sat and waited for the cool wind of Artest. As such a reminder, Hongjun immediately realized, yes! When Artest is there, you are not afraid of the snowstorm that covers your face!
"The Snow Demon is second." Artest walked across the schoolyard and came to a cage, squatting inside a ragged, greasy, scary man with big eyes.
"We caught Yadan when we passed."
Hong Jun knew it was a monster at first glance, but he didn't know what it was. The carp monster shouted when she saw it and shouted, "Snake!"
The monster was a sand snake, and he looked at everyone with his eyes straight, spitting out the snake core from time to time, his expression was rather distressed. After all, winter is the season of dormancy, but it was yin and yang, and was caught back by Artest. After not eating and drinking for many days, he seemed exhausted.
Sand Snake's voice was deep and dumb, and he replied: "You promised not to kill me."
Artest elegantly said: "You also promised to tell you honestly, tell them, what did you hear?"
"The war dead corpse king has already fallen into their hands." Sha snake looked at Hongjun with a fear in her eyes. "They found the white deer's human body. The demon king let the plague use the white deer's mana to gather as soon as possible. The army of dead ghouls is ready to send troops at any time to help the world's devil and kill the world's celestial beings. "
"Wait!" Hong Jun was shocked, trembling, "Say it again ?!"
Sand Snake raised his eyes and stared at Hong Jun.
It turned out that the former residence of the sand snake was not far from the general tomb of Yadan. It was cultivated and succeeded 20 years ago. When the mysterious girl and the of plague arrived, they were included under the demon king's command and became a messenger. After that, he sent a letter and sent a letter to the mysterious girl to buy some biscuits from the Shazhou Night Market and run for the two monsters.
The of plague is from the original, sent by the demon king to stay here, and the black girl is a native monster born and raised.
"Wow." Hong Jun said, "So the monster still has household registration?"
"Mysterious girl was not like this before." Sand snake looked at Hongjun. Among the people, only Hongjun could feel a little kindness, but he was very dignified and energetic. It was expected that it might have something to do with the demon, but it closed his mouth very interesting Asked, and said, "Later, everyone heard that her temperament has changed."
"Everyone?" Mo Rigen frowned. "How many monsters do you still have?"
"They were transferred away the year before," said Sha Snake. "Flying birds and beasts, flying in the sky and swimming in the water, there are many things I know."
"Where did you go?" Li Jinglong felt troublesome.
Sand Snake replied: "I don't know, they were all transferred away by the demon king for the demon to drive?"
Artest only asked about the origin roughly that day, but did not expect it to be intermittent, and was even asked by Li Jinglong.
"How did they contact?" Li Jinglong asked again.
"Through a wall of Mogao Grottoes," Sha She replied.
Everyone: "!!!"
Artest helps him, patting Li Jinglong on the shoulder, meaning that I can't do it, and you have to come.
Li Jinglong didn't care about the matter any more, and asked in a fifteen to ten way, the Sand Snake was very cooperative, almost asking questions-on the wall, the form of the demon king is the shadow of a dragon. This conspiracy began to be planned 20 years ago. Zhang Hao first came to Dunhuang and found the mysterious girl who was hiding in the northern foothills of Qilian Mountain. Eighteen years ago, the two demons jointly caught a spirit beast. It is said that this spirit beast lives in a mural in Mogao Grottoes. Every once in a while, I will come to the world to support my child.
The Plague God and the Mysterious Girl successfully cut it off when it left Mogao Grottoes and came to life, and contaminated it with magical qi and continued to refine it.
"White Deer." Mo Rigen murmured and looked at Li Jinglong.
"That's the beauty you're looking for?" Artest unexpectedly said.
The carp demon reminded: "It's a man now."
"Don't mention it," Mo Rigen said with his hand on his forehead. "Lu Xu's life and death are unknown. Now how can he be free to think whether he should be a man or a woman?"
"I don't know what it is," Sand Snake replied. "But the Plague God was beaten up that day. I remember very clearly. He asked me to find a helper ..."
While hunting the White Deer, the Plague God apparently encountered a powerful opponent, who beat him enough. And the white deer caught back also appeared to have a small problem-the flesh was scattered, only the pure spirit. Mo Zhigen immediately said: "The white deer that has lost its flesh will soon return to the heavens if it has no residence."
"Later God and Xuan Nu took control of the White Deer, corroded its body with magic energy, and then used its mana to drive the dead corpses one by one ..."
However, it takes a very long time to completely demonize the White Deer. This process lasted for nearly ten years. After the White Deer became the Black Deer, it took another eight years to assimilate the size of the dead corpse king. It was finally confirmed that Liu Fei and his group were the only ones who were willing to go out of the coffin and were driven by two monsters.
The other great king was still sleeping, but the demon king could not wait any longer, and ordered the mysterious girl and the of plague to regain Hexi as soon as possible, especially to remove Ge Shuhan's nail.
So the Xuannv asked Liu Fei to lead the army of dead corpses and act alone, but Liu Fei was expected to be awakened by the wolves by mistake, and then, Xuannv was furious and summoned a black mist from the mural in person. Catch Liu Feihuo back. Immediately afterwards, on the road, there was a mismatch, and I found the other half of the white deer who was born 18 years ago!
"What about Lu Xu?" Mo Rigen trembled.
"I ... I don't know what method they used." Sha snake replied, "In short, she was injured after she went back, was it you who hit you?"
Sand Snake observed the crowd, and when they could not answer, they said, "Later, they went to Yadan, and the spirit beast awakened the ghost king. He was gathering hundreds of thousands of dead corpses, and was preparing to send troops to the Yumen Pass ..."
"What ?!" everyone shouted.
Li Jinglong realized the seriousness and looked towards Artest. Artest couldn't help but said, "When I heard this news earlier, I hurried over."
Hong Jun suddenly heard that the most troublesome battle dead corpse king left the coffin, and his skill is still above Liu Fei. He immediately thought of the ghoul slaughter city, and Yumen Guanqian was the general, or his uncle! Immediately filled with fear, as if he had seen the tragic state of the wolf smoke everywhere.
"What should I do?" Hong Jun shivered.
Li Jinglong took the opportunity to say decisively: "When will the troops be dispatched?"
"The day after tomorrow? Yesterday? The day before yesterday?" The sand snake pulled her finger and would not remember the number of days in winter, and said, "They asked me to report to the demon king because they found ..."
"Okay." Artest said, "So far."
Li Jinglong stunned, looking at Artest, but Artest said: "The raid is coming."
Li Jinglong nodded and immediately turned back to the hall and said, "Combat meeting! Hurry!"
Li Jinglong rushed into the hall and said to the guard: "Notify General Jia and all the deputies, emergency military situation, immediately!"
The Turkic youth who called Ashnaqiong patted Hongjun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
As soon as Li Jinglong responded, Hong Jun felt a long absence, and all his worries vanished in an instant. This time he did not even say "believe me", but replaced comfort with practical action.
Hong Jun nodded and looked at the sand snake in the cage.
"Let me go." Sha snake said, "You promised to let me go!"
Asnaqiong pulled out the flying knife and looked at the sand snake, Hong Jun busy said: "Don't kill him."
Ashinaqiong took the flying knife back again. Hong Jun didn't dare to call the shots. Seeing that the sand snake looked at him pitifully, he said, "I'll ask Long Shi."
"The king," said the sand snake demon, "I really don't have a half-truth!"
"I'm not a king." Hong Jun replied, turning around to find Li Jinglong, when people from all over the house came and went, full of jade gate guards. While wearing armor, Li Jinglong explained to the crowd what was drawn from the prisoner's mouth, and pointed out the route of the march, allowing Jia Zhou to arrange to guard the whistle to prevent a surprise attack.
"Impossible!" Jia Zhou said, "We have a beacon, and we haven't reported it. Why is there a raid?"
"The other party has a monster who can control the wind and snow." Li Jinglong said, "Your men don't burn flames at all."
Jia Zhou was quiet for a moment, Li Jinglong sat down, took on the armor boots handed over by the soldiers and said, "Send me two thousand people, ready to bring a rope and a strong crossbow, ambushing on the main road of the Qilian Valley, respectively ... , Here and here. "Li Jinglong made a few points and said," It's their only way. "
Jia Zhou took the opportunity to decisively and shouted, "Go! Go! Give Li Changshi five thousand elite soldiers!"
A red line was drawn from Yadan on the map, passing southwest to the northwestern vein of Qilian Mountain, then passing through Yumen Pass, and finally entering Yumen County.
Artest pondered: "They came from Yadan, and we will rush over now. If there is no accident, we can get ahead of the fight. But two hundred thousand dead corpse cavalry, how do you respond?"
Li Jinglong said: "I will talk about the battle plan immediately."
"That snake demon ..." Hong Jun asked, pointing outside.
"Let's put it back." Li Jinglong put on his armor and walked out of the hall quickly, replied, "Exorcism Secretary's order!"
Artest and Mo Rigen responded immediately, and Hong Jun replied: "Here!"
Li Jinglong looked back at Hongjun and said, "Either you stay, stay with your uncle ..."
"I have to go with Chang Shi." Hong Jun sorted out the flying knives and turned back to Jia Zhou. "Uncle, don't worry."
Mo Rigen and Li Jinglong glanced at each other, and Li Jinglong nodded slightly indistinctly.
Jia Zhou said: "Go, come back safely."
Li Jinglong, Hong Jun, Artai, Mo Rigen and the Turkic youth came out of the house, and they stepped on their horses and went out of town.
However, outside the city, Li Jinglong strangled the horses in the wasteland, seeming to ponder.
Hong Jun: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Will it be a spy?" Artai seemed to expect that there would be such a stop, so he turned the horse's head and came to a second meeting.
Hong Jun: "..."
Hong Jun watched this scene a lot, and immediately learned without a teacher, realizing that Li Jinglong's appearance was just for the Sand Snake Demon! It ’s too cunning to say one or two of you!
"I don't think so." Li Jinglong replied.
Mo Zhigen said: "I don't think it's like that. When Chang Shi asked, he was very scared."
Artest groaned, "Uh," he said, "I didn't expect it to be so scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Hong Jun asked, "I didn't find it at all."
"You." Asuna said suddenly.
Hong Jun: "???
Artai immediately stopped him with a look, and said with a smile: "Hong Jun, you just call him Qiong, he is very similar to you and likes to tell the truth."
"In your words, I am the heart of Chi Zi." Asuna joked leisurely.
"Why are you afraid of me?" Hong Jun asked.
"Okay." Li Jinglong stopped the discussion and said, "Then everyone will act together and go to explore first."
The crowd responded and set off.
The carp demon again said behind Hongjun: "It is afraid of you, just like I am afraid of cats."
Hong Jun remembered that his father was a peacock and his adoptive father was a phoenix. The snake seemed to have a natural fear of the powerful bird monsters, so he didn't ask too much.
With a whistle, Artest Zhaohongjun smiled and said: "Hongjun! Throw Zhao Zilong over."
The carp demon said: "Spit fire Luo Niangong! What do you want to do?"
Artest replied: "I haven't seen you in such a long time. I want the boss's hairy legs. Come here and give me some caress."
Everyone laughed, Hong Jun expected that Artest wanted to tease Zhao Zilong, so he threw the carp demon, Arte grabbed the carp demon, and drove the horse to the front.
The wind gradually increased, the crowds left Yumen County and galloped on the plains. Hongjun only felt that the horses he was riding ran very slowly, far behind the previous horse Shenjun. But when he had a nightmare, he chopped, chopped, and killed a clean, guilty heart.
"Is it better?" Li Jinglong walked up to Hongjun.
Hong Jun nodded, Li Jinglong asked again: "I will take you?"
Hong Jun waved his hand to indicate that it was all right. Last night, Mo Zhigen's words unraveled his heart. Although the "magic species" still made him wonder, he still felt strange when he saw Li Jinglong. , But at least in the face of Li Jinglong's uneasiness, it has already eased a lot.
"Want to stay in Yumen?" Li Jinglong asked again.
Others, intentionally or unintentionally, accelerated the speed, leaving them at the end, as if to discuss well, leaving them a chance to speak.
Hong Jun turned his head, looked at Li Jinglong, and replied: "I don't want to."
"Why?" Li Jinglong asked again.
"I'm afraid of thinking of you." Hong Jun suddenly dismissed the idea when he saw Arte go back and forth. He once thought that their departure was a farewell, but those who left would always come back and bring new friends .
Li Jinglong said, "But here is your uncle."
Hong Jun slowed down, crossed the stream with Li Jinglong, and then speeded up. After thinking about it, he replied: "The Northwest is too cold to live in."
Li Jinglong laughed and said, "Then say it yourself, but I won't say it, otherwise your uncle will hate me and recruit another enemy."
Hong Jun laughed when he thought of the clarity.
"Come here." Li Jinglong reached out to Hongjun again and said, "I will take you."
A dream suddenly appeared in Hong Jun's mind. Nine-year-old Li Jinglong was waiting in the alley, reaching out to him and holding him into the exorcism moment.
His hands were held tightly, as if afraid of losing him, but he was brought into that irretrievable circle, and eventually he lost everything he once had ...
Hong Jun: "Driving!"
Li Jinglong shouted behind, saying: "Wait!"
Li Jinglong shook the horse rein, followed closely.
In front, Artest rode a horse and drove along the foothills of Morigen and Asnaqiong to the northwestern vein of Qilian Mountain.
Asnaqiong looked back from time to time, and saw that on the wasteland, Hong Jun and Li Jinglong became one of the two little black spots in the world.
"Don't read it." Artest smiled. "There is a master."
Asuna immediately replied casually: "Your Central Plains people have this rule? Who sees who is the first?"
Mo Rigen was stunned, and then came to understand, can not help but laugh.
Atayal Mozhigen said: "Don't laugh, Mozhigen, I haven't laughed at your destined wife."
Mo Rigen's smile came to an abrupt end, his face flushed, and then his brow furrowed.
"Your exorcism division, each seems to have its own worries." Ashner said.
Artest casually said: "Isn't it? Now I'm going to save Morigen's lover."
"Not yet." Mo Rigen replied, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ashnaqiong said again: "You said the 'magic species', is it on the child who is playing the flying knife behind?"
"Don't tease him." Artest's expression became serious, and he replied, "Joan, I don't care how you want to play on weekdays, don't touch Hongjun."
Ashina Joan smiled indifferently and said, "If he is willing to follow me, what more need to find someone else?"
Mo Rigen replied: "Do you have a heart lamp with a long history? You can't restrain the magic energy in Hong Jun's body."
Artest pondered and said, "Mo Rigen, it matters a lot. Are you sure that Hong Jun is really the one who said that in the mouth of the snake demon?"
The carp demon revealed half of the fish head from Artai's arms, always looking at Ashi Naqiong, listening to the conversation.
"Before you arrived, we had a hard fight." Mo Rigen replied, "Hong Jun saw the death of his parents in a nightmare, and the demons were excited."
The carp demon suddenly said: "Does the heart lamp really have the ability to dispel the magic energy? Alas, Hongjun, why is it so pitiful?"
"Leave it to Chang Shi." Morigen said helplessly, "Look at his luck."
The carp demon again said: "Look at his luck? Are you serious? This is not a good thing!"
Everyone: "..."
"Why do you say that?" Asnaqiong didn't quite understand and asked.
Artest was asked impatiently, and simply explained: "The 'magic species' in Hong Jun's body, maybe only the heart lamp in Li Jinglong's body can be dispelled. This is what we are discussing today. After this war, Li Jinglong will go to Taihang Mountain Yaojin Palace, see if there is a solution. "
Asnaqiong thought for a while and sang: "In the dark grassland, my beloved girl, a lamp lit for me, can call the dawn-drive!"
It was a song of the Turkic people, and the meaning of Asnaqiong was obvious. With love, the darkness can be dispelled.
Artest couldn't help crying and shook his head: "He doesn't understand."
The snow fell again, and at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, everyone gathered. Mo Rigen threw a leather armor to Hong Jun, and Hong Jun put on it and moved his arm. Artest waved his fan, the gusty wind rolled up, and sent the five people to a cliff on the top of the mountain. There was a small military cabin on the cliff, standing here and looking out, he could see the end of the Great Wall under the sunset.
From the beginning of Liaodong, the Great Wall meanders through the Bohai Sea, Lukou, Hebei, Jinyang, and Guanzhong ... and passes through nearly a hundred counties, connecting Qin Shiming, Moon and Han Dynasty, and ancient times. The immortal achievements of the emperors who appeared in numerous scenes, even the five-wheeled ballads, and the vast land of China, even the time, and here, extended to the vast land in the winter, and finally returned nothingness.
The pungent corpse smelled in the wind, and even Hongjun smelled it, which was already very obvious.
"Where is the ambush?" Artest asked.
As the sun goes down, the Great Wall is photographed from the northwest and towards the mountains. Li Jinglong, holding a sword of wisdom, wearing armor, pointed towards the distance, and beckoned everyone to look.
Abandoned ancient beacon towers are left on both sides of the mountain range. The soldiers sent by Jia Zhou moved faster than them. They have hanged hooks from high places, ambushed on both sides of the mountain range, fired more than ten tough ropes, and fell to everyone Where the cliff is.
Morigan changed into a wolf, biting the rope, entangled in the big rock, and whispered: "The Legion of the Dead Ghost is approaching here. Where did Liu Fei go?"
In fact, after solving the day when Hong Jun was enchanted, Liu Fei said goodbye to them and left. Li Jinglong couldn't look for his whereabouts, but guessed that he was mostly ambushing nearby. Or follow the dead corpse army, and watch the action.
"It's up to you later." Li Jinglong said, "Hong Jun, as soon as the Legion of Dead Corpses passed through, you would use a flying knife to cut down the snow peaks on both sides."
Hongjun stood in front of the cliff, his palms open, and the four slashing flying swords were united. The strange sword appeared and nodded.
Asuna Qiong was very surprised and looked at Hong Jun.
"Can you use force?" The wolf asked worriedly.
Hong Jun replied: "It has been completely recovered, everyone need not worry."
Li Jinglong observed the nearby terrain for a moment, and then said: "There are several places on the cliff, which can be used to borrow money. I will trouble you later."
Everyone nodded, looking into the distance, the residual sun was like blood, little by little toward the horizon, and gradually sank. A black wave appeared on the horizon, and there seemed to be thousands of troops, coming towards the end of the Great Wall.
A whole army of two hundred thousand dead ghouls! On the barren Gobi, the army rushed to the Great Wall like a tide, and it crashed into the earth!
Artai was dumbfounded, but Asnaqiong smiled and said, "This monster is not going to avoid people's eyes and ears."
"Two hundred thousand troops." Morigen said. "No matter what county, when the iron hoof arrived, it was crushed to death."
Li Jinglong suddenly said: "Hong Jun."
Hong Jun turned to look at Li Jinglong.
The light of the setting sun shone in front of the two of them and shone on Li Jinglong's handsome side face. He seemed to have something to say, looking towards Hongjun.
"They are coming!" Mo Rigen interrupted Li Jinglong's unexported words.
Hongjun immediately looked at the valley, and saw that the army of war dead corpses crashed a large wall, swarming through the gap, the striker was already mighty, rushed into the canyon, and then the world changed color, and a cold wind came. Accompanied by the violent wind, it is the overwhelming Blizzard!
"It's not time yet!" Li Jinglong grabbed Hong Jun's hand tightly, and the earth couldn't shake anymore. More and more cavalry rushed into the valley, and everyone on the cliff held his breath.
The wolf screamed suddenly, his pupils contracted instantly, and by the last ray of dim sunlight, he saw the two war horses in the main army crossing the Great Wall.
One of the horses was riding a tall soldier, who was masked with iron armor. Another horse, riding a thin man in a black scout suit, is Lu Xu!
