The Ascension of Ghosts

This blow turned into an elbow and armpit, but Lu Sheng saw the opportunity very quickly, crossing the scabbard to block, the blow seemed to be struck with a force of thunder, Lu Sheng grasped the scabbard with both hands, but was still knocked back more than ten times Stepping forward, his back hit the dilapidated courtyard wall, and a few broken bricks fell down.

Lu Sheng felt a dull pain and numbness in his hands from his fingertips to his arms, and he almost couldn't exert any strength, but Guo Qian didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, and slammed down again.Lu Sheng was so exhausted that he couldn't dodge it, and only then did he have the thought of dying here, only to feel the sound of the wind brushing against his ears.

Amidst the deafening sound of the collapse, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and Guo Qian slashed the stone wall to collapse, and even a deep, long and wide crack opened on the compacted mud floor.This kind of strange power is definitely not very human, but... the power of ghosts and gods.

The waist knife couldn't resist the strange force and it was broken into several pieces. Guo Qian's right sleeve was completely shattered, exposing his whole bloody arm.

The surrounding soldiers had not been ordered and did not dare to move without permission. Everyone held their own weapons. One team trapped the displaced teenagers, the other stopped Baili Xiao and Ji Chong who were trying to rescue Lu Sheng, and the rest were just Surrounded by the two of them, he hesitated.

When Lu Sheng came back to his senses, he saw Guo Qian's gloomy face close at hand, his breathing was harsh and piercing, his eyes were dark and unfathomable, as if he was about to be dragged into the abyss.

That split passed by, Lu Sheng was only slightly shaken to his left shoulder by the aftermath, and did not suffer any injuries. Lu Sheng narrowly escaped death again, but Guo Qian was in front of him and a stone wall behind him, so he was cornered.

Guo Qian's expression was ferocious. Sometimes he seemed to be panicked, and sometimes he seemed to be extremely angry. He raised his trembling fingers dripping with blood, held Lu Sheng's arm, and called out hoarsely, "Lu... Lu..."

Lu Sheng couldn't bear it, and replied, "I'm here."

Guo Qian said: "What am I..."

Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed again, he let go of his hand and staggered back, bumping into a soldier behind him, the soldier hurriedly raised his hand to support him, and said in a panic: "Guo——"

Guo Qian grabbed the soldier's arm, and with a roar, he forcibly tore off his arm.

In an instant, blood was splashed everywhere, and the soldier passed out with a scream, and Guo Qian lifted his head high and smashed it down towards the courtyard wall.Immediately, the seven orifices bleed, and the flesh and broken bricks are mixed together, and they collapse.

Everyone around was in danger, and the atmosphere of panic and bewilderment permeated. Seeing the Martial God in his mind suddenly go berserk, as if the sky was collapsing, it would inevitably make everyone feel confused and unable to make a decision.

Guo Qian roared angrily, "Get out of the way!"

Lu Sheng also came to his senses, pulled out the hanging pot and shouted: "Don't disturb Master Guo, everyone retreat!"

Some junior non-commissioned officers retreated towards the outside of the courtyard one after another. In the panic, they didn't care about those barbarians. After that, the youngest child was knocked down and fell to the ground, crying loudly in panic.Baili Xiao picked him up and put him under his armpit, grabbed Ji Chong who was shouting "Brother Lu" with his other hand, and followed the crowd to retreat a hundred feet away.

This side of the room was in chaos, but another person rode forward from the city wall at a high speed, and shouted from a distance: "Report—Rouran's army is coming!"

The crowd erupted in exclamation, the staff and the lieutenant looked at each other, Guo Qian came from a poor background, he killed Wang Meng to usurp the left forward army, and most of the confidants and staff who were promoted were from the same poor background. Now that something happened to Guo Qian, everyone didn't know how to deal with it.

Guo Qian suddenly laughed wildly, his expression was cold, his white teeth were exposed, and he laughed like a ferocious beast: "Good time! Order troops to wipe out the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, he kicked his foot, and bounced out like a cannonball. With the strength of his feet, he ran faster than a horse, and turned into a small dot in the blink of an eye.

All the soldiers took the order, heaving a sigh of relief, each dispersed to gather and deploy to meet the enemy, but Lu Sheng put away his sword and removed the bricks to save people.

Unfortunately, the soldier had already passed away, but the wolf-like boy was still alive. Lu Sheng hurriedly dug him out of the rubble, took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

Ji Chong saw it, showed disgust, strode over, frowned and said, "Brother Lu, why waste wound medicine on such a bastard."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few sharp screams, and the rest of the teenagers picked up sticks and bricks and rushed over to save people.

Baili Xiao also caught up, held the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "One more step forward, beheaded without pardon!"

His voice was so loud that it really frightened a group of young people who did not dare to take a half step forward. They only showed anxious and angry expressions, looking at the young man in Lu Sheng's arms.

Lu Sheng took out the leather water sac from his waist again, and carefully fed the young man a few sips. The young man tasted the clear water, and immediately drank a few sips greedily. He opened his eyes quickly, but he was a little dazed, and immediately woke up. , stared at Lu Sheng sharply.

He seemed to have come to his senses and realized that he was rescued by the enemy. He didn't know what to do for a while, his lips trembled, and he hummed a few times, but he couldn't say a word after all.

Seeing him waking up, the teenagers waiting to save people cheered and shouted: "Solei! Solei!" Some even cried bitterly, but they also knew Lu Sheng's good intentions, so they threw away the weapons in their hands. Just timid and afraid to approach.

But Lu Sheng looked towards the door, and said with a gentle smile, "Yang Xiong, I was about to ask for your help."

As expected, Yang Xiong went back and forth, and stood at the gate of the dilapidated courtyard with a straight face. Hearing Lu Sheng's call, he approached slowly, and said in a deep voice, "My father served in the army for 24 years, was captured by the Rouran army, and died in... ...Fatal. I and the people of Rouran have a bloody feud! Brother Lu, why do you force me to save my enemy?"

Yang Xiong has always been reticent and honest, now he seldom uttered a few words, his words were loud and his tone excited, obviously he couldn't bear it anymore.

Lu Sheng sighed: "Rouran's army is naturally the enemy, these children... can kill people?"

Before Yang Xiong could reply, the boy suddenly said, "You...kill...my mother...sister..."

He spoke the Central Plains language, but his pronunciation was weird and he stuttered, but Lu Sheng understood it. He just raised his hand and gently rubbed his hair, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, my Jin army is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, protector The shield of the country, never kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Lu Sheng stood up and said: "Yang Xiong, we don't understand the language, so we have to rely on you to take care of these people, and send them to the barracks with Ji Chong. Don't refuse if you are in a hurry."

Yang Xiong suddenly lowered his face, before he was about to protest, Lu Sheng had already stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and said in a low voice: "Check it out, why does the son of Rouran have to stay in Mulan Castle to survive?" ?”

Yang Xiong suddenly felt as if he was being drenched in cold water, his heart trembled a little, he was blinded by his personal enmity, and almost missed the important event, he hurriedly calmed down, took a deep breath, clasped his fists in response: "The general will follow orders."

Only then did Lu Sheng nod his head slightly, and ordered Ji Chong to assist Yang Xiong and Baili Xiao to follow him out of the city.

The two of them stayed in the city for a very short time, only more than ten breaths later than Guo Qian, but when they approached the city gate, they saw that the city gate was open, and scattered soldiers came in from outside the gate, covered in blood, with terrified expressions on their faces, and shouted in amazement Said: "Strange... monster..."

Lu Sheng grabbed a soldier, but found that his body was dripping with blood, the stench was pungent, but he was not injured, and he didn't know whose blood was spattered.Lu Sheng asked, "What happened?"

But the soldier was so frightened that he lost his mind, and could not listen to what others were saying. He only changed his voice in shock, and shouted sharply: "Monster! Monster! Buddha, spare your life, Buddha, spare your life!"

Lu Sheng had no choice but to let go of him, and exchanged glances with Bailixiao. The two of them couldn't find the horse, so they had to continue running wildly and rush out of the city gate.

The battlefield, which was supposed to be filled with the sound of shouts and clashes of spears, halberds, and swords, was eerily quiet. Corpses of soldiers and horses fell to the ground every ten steps or so. The Rouran army is relatively small.What's more, most of them fell down with their heads facing the direction of Mulan Castle. Lu Sheng looked at a few corpses, and judged from the footprints and bloodstains, it seemed that they were on the way back to the city, and fell to the ground with serious injuries. of.

The scars seemed to be torn apart by the claws of a beast.

Baili Xiao frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Guo Qian had another seizure."

Lu Sheng lowered his face. It was a critical moment, but Yan Xiu was nowhere to be found. After the Chushui Linghua protecting his body was broken by the ghost leaf, Xie Rong gave another jade talisman. In addition, all he can rely on is the hanging pot in his hand and the penance of swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, all fear disappeared, Lu Sheng pulled out the hanging pot in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Xiao, follow up!"

The two of them walked quickly for another half a stick of incense time, bypassed a mound, and saw the corpse forest from a distance. There was a huge figure like a mountain standing among the corpse forest, busy walking back and forth. endlessly.

The figure was as tall as three people, with disheveled hair and a hulking waist. His clothes were torn and shredded, barely hanging on his waist and hips. He was moving piles of corpses scattered around to one place, making the corpses pile up like a mountain.

The eyes are full of corpses and blood. There are soldiers of the Jin Dynasty and strong men. Although they hated each other and died endlessly in life, after death, it is you pressing me and I leaning on him, regardless of the enemy and ourselves.

The figure found a lot of thick wooden sticks, one end was slightly sharpened, pierced it into the corpse, picked it up in the air, and threw the other end into the ground of the rocky beach, and stood up firmly.He acted in an orderly manner, the long stick pierced the ribs or abdominal cavity of the corpse, and all of them were firmly fixed on the tip of the stick.

Baili Xiao gasped, and said in a trembling voice, "This monster...killed all the enemies and our armies?"

It was clearly tens of feet away, but the monster seemed to hear the movement, turned around suddenly, and then rushed towards Lu Sheng and the two.

Lu Sheng had no choice but to hold his sword across his chest, ordering Baili Xiao to get out of the way, but the giant came very fast, but within a blink of an eye, he approached him, opened his big hand and patted Baili Xiao's head.

Lu Shengfei stepped forward, raised his sword and slashed at his arm, shouting sharply, "Guo Qian! Wake up!"

The giant was startled suddenly, his right hand hesitated a little, and the hanging pot cut off his right forearm as if cutting into the hot oil.A huge arm fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

Baili Xiao dodged in embarrassment, still covered in blood all over his head and face, but the giant let out an earth-shattering scream, supported the wound on his severed arm, stared fiercely at Lu Sheng with his ferocious eyes that seemed to emit black energy.

Lu Sheng succeeded in one blow, and he didn't dare to be careless. It's just that he succeeded in a sneak attack, but he had nowhere to attack immediately. The giant had no gaps in his body, but for some reason, he was worried, and just stopped where he was, with anger whistling from his throat. panting.After hesitating for a long time, the anger in his eyes finally dissipated, and he knelt down on the ground.

Pang Ran's figure also shrank accordingly, returning to Guo Qian's original figure, except for the broken arm, which was bleeding and pooled into a pool of blood on the yellowed sandy ground.

His complexion was pale, his figure was on the verge of falling, and he tremblingly said: "Master Lu... I, humble job, I, Zhuxia, big mistake..."

Lu Sheng noticed that his hostility had dissipated, so he quickly put away the hanging pot, and exchanged winks with Bailixiao, and the two stepped forward to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds.

Guo Qian still muttered: "I...killed someone."

Lu Sheng said: "You are a soldier, and it is your duty to kill the enemy before the battle."

With a hoarse voice, Guo Qian murmured again: "I, can't restrain myself...there is someone in front of me, and I just want to kill him, there is no point in fighting against us..."

His voice suddenly changed, big tears rolled out, he hugged Lu Sheng suddenly, and cried: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu, save me! Help me! I never meant to harm anyone, but I want to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

Lu Sheng's waist was suddenly hugged tightly by him, and the place where he touched was clearly a burly and vigorous body, but it trembled like dead leaves rustling in a strong wind, and the huge man burst into tears like a helpless child.

Lu Sheng looked at the wilderness in the distance, corpses were strewn all over the field, blood flowed into rivers, and then he looked down, Guo Qian was kneeling in a pool of blood, with his head buried between Lu Sheng's chest and abdomen, his clothes were ragged and desolate, his long hair was covered with blood, Wretched like a bereaved dog.

He raised his hand, caressed the back of Guo Qian's head, and sighed in a low voice: "You idiot, what kind of ghost did you bump into? Find out the source, and I will... try to break the demon barrier for you."

Guo Qian had infinite faith in Lu Sheng, and after listening to his quiet consolation, he gradually stopped crying, and said in a deep voice, "On the ninth day of June, Lu Sima and I were in Erzixiang..."

The sound of a qin suddenly broke through the plain, and it rang out slowly. This is the unique Matouqin in the Western Regions.

Guo Qian's expression changed suddenly, he pushed Lu Sheng away abruptly, grabbed the severed part of his right arm, and roared in a low voice.

Baili Xiao, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly let out a scream, "Ah—" He pointed to the half-severed arm on the ground. At this time, countless tentacles-like pink granulation sprouted from the wound, and suddenly rose into the air, touching each other with the granulation on Guo Qian's wound. Intertwine to connect.

Lu Sheng's eyes widened, and he saw the severed arm closed, and a circle of wounds disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Guo Qian was in unbearable pain, his roar was like the roar of a wild beast, and the sound of the piano became more and more sharp, as if urging him, Guo Qian curled up into a ball, and his body began to swell again.

Lu Sheng made a decisive decision and took out the hanging pot, but this time he stabbed Guo Qian's thigh, and then ordered: "A Xiao, find the violin player."

Baili Xiao responded, and immediately took off the bow and arrow he was carrying behind his back, opened the bow and set the arrow, and listened attentively.

Guo Qian's thigh was stabbed, his swollen body shrank back, and he fell to the ground slumped. He grabbed Lu Sheng's ankle wearing moccasin boots, raised his head and hissed, "Lu Sheng...kill...kill me! "
