The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng's body froze, but he never pushed Xie Rong's hand away. He just lowered his head and said, "In broad daylight, Ah Rong, what are you doing?"

Xie Rong pressed her fingertips against her collarbone and drew a few times ambiguously. Seeing the young man's face turn red, she calmly reached into Lu Sheng's arms, pulled the unconscious kitten out, and said with a smile, "What do you think I am doing? "

Lu Sheng knew that he was thinking too far, but when he saw Xie Rong's smiling face, he became more and more annoyed. He simply stopped talking, and only looked at Xie Rong's hand. The tiger-striped kitten lay dying in the palm of his hand. It took a long time before he moved slightly. She moved her tail, stuck out her little tongue, and licked Xie Rong's wrist to please her.

Xie Rong said coldly: "Follow the power urgently, I will spare you this time, if there is a next time, I can take care of myself."

The tiger-striped kitten uttered a weak meow like gossamer, and then licked Xie Rong's palm again when it was weak, its intention to please was obvious.

Lu Sheng said: "Ah Rong, Yan Xiu...has never done anything wrong, so don't be harsh."

Xie Rong said: "It's a big mistake for him to hug you."

Lu Sheng was at a loss for words, and the tiger-striped kitten snorted a few more times, buried its head between its paws, and curled up into a ball of brown fluff on Xie Rong's palm, which could neither be scolded nor beaten.

Xie Rong raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw about seven or eight tiger-striped cats running across the wilderness in groups, the first one was extremely huge, about the size of an ordinary hunting dog, with long brown and yellow hair, and a mane around its neck. , as if wearing a luxurious scarf, when sitting up, a pair of dark golden pupils with divine light inside, appear majestic.

Xie Rong stepped forward and put the tiger-striped kitten in her palm under the feet of the giant cat. The giant cat came closer and licked the kitten, and then said: "My brother is not good at it, Mr. Xie laughed at me."

Xie Rong said: "It's not your brother's fault that the powerful enemy is unexpected."

The giant cat raised its head and roared twice, then snorted: "Jingyezong, Guiye, if you don't avenge this revenge, I will strictly not be the king of cats! Mr. Xie, let me take my younger brother back for the time being. Training, and when he is successful in his studies, he will be sent back to the Master's residence to serve him."

The tiger-striped kitten whined again, "I... won't go back..."

The giant cat lowered its head and slapped the kitten on the ground beside it with one paw, which made it tremble, and then scolded in a deep voice: "Nonsense, if you hadn't been idle all day, catching mice and fish and not doing your job, how could there be today's crisis?" ? If Mrs. Xie hadn’t been there, I’m afraid I’d be captured by that stinky monk and become a guardian animal! I still don’t know how to repent, and my brother will kill you, an ignorant, lazy cat!”

The tiger-striped kitten didn't make a sound anymore, it just turned its head and looked at Lu Sheng sadly, but the giant cat had already picked it up, and said vaguely, "Don't say goodbye to Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie for now."

A group of cats meowed a few times, turned around and ran away.

Lu Sheng was stunned for a while, then murmured: "Who is Mrs. Xie?"

Xie Rong smiled but said nothing, Lu Sheng stared at him blankly, the dusk was short, the sky became dark in the blink of an eye, in the hazy twilight, only this person in front of him seemed to be shining, and the Shura world in the human world, which was littered with corpses, was also stained. Kind of peaceful and quiet.

Then Bailixiao moaned in a low voice, breaking the ambiguity between the two of them. Lu Sheng hurriedly took Xie Rong's hand, limped towards Bailixiao, and said softly, "Ah Xiao, don't be afraid, thank you." The young master is one of our own, so I will take you back to Mulan Castle to heal your wounds."

Bailixiao was seriously injured and drowsy, so he didn't bother to come over and ask one by one. He just stared at Lu Sheng with wide eyes, and then he was placed on the mallard's back. The mallard spread its wings and flew towards Mulan Castle.

Xie Rong sighed, "You really don't want to go back together?"

Lu Sheng said: "Ah Rong, the Shura worm that parasitizes Guo Qian is also one of the nine prohibitions? You came here for... it?"

The tomb of the Yellow Emperor can only be opened by collecting all the nine prohibitions and nine blessings. The hanging pot in Lu Sheng's hand is one of them, and the Shura worm in Guo Qian's body is also one of them.

If not, how could Xie Rong show up in such a timely manner?I'm afraid that in the final analysis, Xie Rong also came for the Nine Bans, not for... Lu Sheng.Thinking of this, Lu Sheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Xie Rong said: "Exactly, not entirely."

Lu Sheng said, "How do you say that?"

Xie Rong didn't answer, just put his palms together, interlocked his fingers, and looked towards the place where the fireworks were soaring into the sky. At this moment, several horses and horses were running towards the two of them, and one of them was wearing a non-regular Jin army attire, narrow-sleeved soap Hakama, bearded and stocky, looks more like a knight-errant in the grass and forests of the Jianghu. The man got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Xie, the leader ordered me to meet you two."

He brought two horses, Xie Rong said his thanks, and helped Lu Sheng get on the horse, he said: "Baoyang, come with me."

Lu Sheng thought to himself that he was just going to witness what happened to Guo Qian, and he didn't know the origin of these people Xie Rong had found, but he set fire to the forest of corpses in one go, and he was not afraid of attracting barbarians from all over the world to attack him.I just hope... Guo Qian will not fight these people.

The two rode their horses and rushed towards the embers of the flames. As they got closer, waves of heat hit, and the fire shone brightly around them. Amidst the flickering orange flames, there was a human figure holding a flaming giant sword. While chopping the wooden pillar of the burning corpse to the ground, he rushed towards the soldiers and horses at the end of the forest of corpses.

The human figure was tall and burly, half of his body was burning with raging flames, and his roar was earth-shattering. It was no longer like a human voice, but more like a wild beast roaring, revealing full of anger and grief.

His voice was fragmented and broke into words, but he could still hear that he was accusing the person who started the fire of destroying the Great Wall and opening the door to steal.

The war horse was terrified and neighed desolately. If it hadn't been pulled by the reins, it would have fled without a trace.Across the team hundreds of feet away, the leader was tall and tall. He raised his hand high and made a gesture of releasing an arrow. Immediately, the rain of arrows flew down like locusts. Although most of them were blocked by Guo Qian, a few still got in On his arms, chest, and thighs.

Guo Qian was wounded on top of each other, not a single piece of good flesh was left on his body, blood was dripping, but his actions became more courageous, the fire sword chopped off several wooden stakes one after another, his feet collapsed, the ground shook, and the few people in the front line were shaken. The chivalrous man cut it in half.

Lu Sheng was about to get off the horse, but Xie Rong clasped his wrist tightly. Xie Rong said, "Mother Shura has been parasitic for a long time, and I can't save it."

Lu Sheng asked, "Worm...mother? What the hell?"

Xie Rong said: "Do you know the origin of Shura worms?"

Lu Sheng said: "The Shura worm is... the sacred object of the Jingye Sect. If it parasitizes the human body, it can produce invincible powers for ghosts and gods, and it can even repair injuries. It's just that it likes to kill the dead, so sooner or later the parasite will become mad and lose Sincerely."

Xie Rong smiled and said, "You are smart if you learn and sell now."

Lu Sheng glanced at him, and asked again: "Stop talking nonsense, is it possible that the worm mother is... the ancestor of the Shura worm?"

Xie Rong sighed inwardly. After a few days of seeing each other, this young master gradually grew tempered, and he still replied: "In ancient times, Xing Tian refused to accept the monopoly of the Yellow Emperor, and fought against it. He was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor and buried in Changyang Mountain... "

Lu Sheng said: "It's a cliché, of course I know that after that, Xing Tian still didn't punish him, and used his breasts as eyes to dance, dance relatives..."

He only felt that Xie Rong's eyes were hovering over his clothes, as if he was going to strip him naked on the horse's back, and before he knew it, his face was flushed, and he moved uncomfortably, but his voice also dropped.

Xie Rong's complexion was still calm, and he only used his gaze to exploit him carefully, spreading out his palm, a small silver ball was suspended on it, overflowing with layers of glistening brilliance, even the raging flames were suppressed and dimmed A little bit, but his mouth was calm, and he talked about the reason with Lu Sheng in detail.

It is rumored that the head of Xingtian was buried in Changyang Mountain for tens of thousands of years. His resentment and fighting spirit gave birth to the most yin and evil thing in the world. It is the worm mother of the Shura worm, with a golden head and a silver body, shaped like a scaleless python. , hundreds of feet in length.Since the day it was born, it has been born to destroy the world, and it has produced countless Shura worms, which have grown in size and parasitized all things, turning Changyang Mountain into a dead place for thousands of miles.

Fortunately, not long after the swarms ravaged, the three-legged golden crows on the hibiscus tree rioted and came out on nine days, bringing a huge drought to the people. On the contrary, by accident, the swarm of Shura swarms were sunk to death.The worm mother was also seriously injured and has never recovered.Now it is parasitic on Guo Qian, but it seems that he has found a good furnace, so he forced Guo Qian to kill like hemp bit by bit, so as to absorb the dead energy and flesh.

Lu Sheng gasped when he heard the words, but saw the silver ball struggling like a living thing, Xie Rong concentrated on fighting it, the silver runes surrounded the sphere, and then a silver line rushed out of the sphere, towards the top of Guo Qian's head go.

Unexpectedly, Guo Qian swung his sword horizontally, cut off the silver thread, and the silver light disappeared without a trace. He turned around and roared, "So it's you? The sneak attacking villain, how dare you fight three times with your grandfather?" One hundred rounds!"

When the silver thread broke, Xie Rong's figure swayed slightly, her face turned pale, she frowned slightly, suddenly sneered, and said softly: "You can't do what you can." Immediately, her figure flew away from the horse's back, and a silver streak appeared in her hand. With a flick of the bright long whip, it was like a giant python coming out of its hole and slashed at Guo Qian's head.

Lu Sheng only had time to grab a corner of Xie Rong's clothes, and then slipped out from his fingers. He hurriedly called out, "Ah Rong, be careful—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the fiery sword in Guo Qian's hand was like a fire dragon breathing out, and the silver whip in Xie Rong's hand was like an ice dragon flying across the sky, one red and one white, one hot and one cold, colliding fiercely, reflecting the sky is full There was a red glow and silver light, and the air waves roared like a gust of wind, knocking down a large number of pillars, and the sound of breaking could be heard endlessly.

Lu Sheng leaned on his horseback to resist the strong wind, and when the air waves had blown away, he raised his head again, only to see that the silver dragon, which looked like autumn water, had bound the fire dragon tightly, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the dragon's head in one gulp. .

Guo Qian's fiery sword and the flames on half of his body were completely extinguished, and he was tightly bound by the long whip, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. Xie Rong only pulled the long whip, and he stumbled and knelt on the ground, with his long, scorched hair in a mess It was disheveled, and a pair of angry beast eyes were exposed in the hair, and the panting sound was like the roar of a beast, staring at Xie Rong viciously for a while, but looking at Lu Sheng for a while, muttering in a low voice, I don't know what he was thinking.

Lu Sheng couldn't hear clearly, kicked the horse's belly and came forward, but Xie Rong said, "Stop."

Lu Sheng obeyed subconsciously, and heard Xie Rong's cold voice, but he was talking to Guo Qian: "Guo Qian, do you know your mistake?"

Guo Qian roared wildly: "King Qin seized power, so Chen and Wu turned against him; the Emperor of Han declined, so Wang Mang usurped power. In today's world, miscellaneous barbarians occupy the Central Plains, and the gentry are chaotic. I, Guo Qian, took advantage of the opportunity to rise. What's wrong? Lu Sheng, what you said yourself, do princes and generals have any kindness?"

Lu Sheng's heart was shocked. His casual words of encouragement were etched in Guo Qian's bones. To this day, he became a demon and eventually a catastrophe.

Xie Rong sneered, and yanked the long whip again, knocking Guo Qian to the ground.The silver ball hidden somewhere reappeared, passed through Guo Qian's chest, and came out through his back, only pulling out a phantom of a fat white worm. The phantom struggled endlessly, but was still pulled out of his body out, and was immediately sucked into the silver ball without a trace.

Guo Qian suddenly lost his voice, his eyes were dazed, he couldn't see the focal length clearly, and the surrounding scenery was also blurred, even the figure of the young man who was sitting on the tall horse and looking at him worryingly became blurred.
