The Ascension of Ghosts

Hou Yan's bright eyes turned and turned, and the light in his eyes sparkled like waves in the dim night and the flickering firelight. The rain dripped down his cheeks, making his eyes as clear as the obsidian soaked in the white jade pool, but gradually emerged With a slightly confused look on his face, he smiled and said, "Brother Lu, why did you say that? Brother Lu...Of course it's Brother Lu."

Lu Sheng gently stroked the young man's soft and round cheeks, and felt a little pity and excitement in his heart. No matter what his identity was, Hou Yan himself was not half conscious. The total horn, bundled hair into clothes.

Now when an adult rubs his cheeks, he even shows a bit of reluctance, he is angry and refuses to speak, his eyes are picturesque, after all, he is too young, and still has a full-bodied stinky smell.

Lu Sheng raised his head and took a quick look around. The inn was already damaged beyond recognition. The wind was raging all around, and the rain was pouring heavily, making people unable to open their eyes.

Xie Rong stood in the air, stepping on a narrow and long white light, her whole body was shrouded in silver light, the heavy rain did not touch her clothes at all, she had replaced a black short sword in her right hand, and was slashing obliquely, smashing a group of ghosts rushing towards her chest The black shadow was cut into two halves, and with a swipe of the left fingertip, silver light shone, and the remaining shadows melted cleanly like residual snow under the scorching sun.

As if aware of Lu Sheng's gaze, he moved the dagger in his hand and pointed down obliquely, pointing in the direction of leaving the city.

However, Lu Sheng hesitated. On the street downstairs, headless guards with tight armor were gathering densely. If he left, how would Xie Rong deal with it alone?

Seeing that he was not moving, Xie Rong was neither happy nor sad, but there seemed to be a hint of a smile on his face, which was as tall as the incarnation of Shenyue. It was clear that he was surrounded by ghosts, and in an extremely dangerous situation, he was calm when he rose and fell. Elegant, as if what you hold in your hand is not a murderous weapon, but a Zihao brush for painting landscapes. When you start to draw the brush, the ink color will be scattered in the thick rain and mist. Treat it as nothing.

Immediately when the sleeves of the robe were turned over, clusters of silver brilliance gathered between the fingers, gathering into the shape of a phoenix, with wings like light, and with a flick of three long tails, the brilliance flowed and shone, and the phoenix raised its head and let out a melodious howl. Lingling resounded through the sky, and even the deafening rain of beating tiles and the roar of the demons were suppressed together.

Xie Rong let go of the dazzling silver phoenix from his hand, and opened and closed his thin lips. Although Lu Sheng was far away, he could see clearly. He was saying: "Baoyang, be obedient, you go first."

The phoenix also rose into the sky, spread its wings and came straight towards Lu Sheng, circling twice around his head, and the silver light was like powder sprinkled by a butterfly, falling on Lu Sheng's shoulders one after another.Immediately, it felt like a burst of heat penetrated into the body and mind, and even the injury under the ribs improved by half, and the pain disappeared.

The ostrich raised its head and let out a long cry, like a silver thunderbolt, slanting down from the sky above the inn in the blink of an eye, rushing along the street leading to the city gate, where countless headless guards roared, or Exploding into pieces, or being knocked far away and unable to get up, a vacancy suddenly appeared in the originally dense encirclement.

The phoenix bumped into it a few times, its body collapsed, and it jumped like a lamp until it went out, and the silver light around Xie Rong also dimmed. Lu Sheng was shocked, not daring to disappoint Xie Rong's kindness, so he straightened up , flicked the hanging pot, and said with a smile: "Little brother, come out with me."

Hou Yan also raised his head, his previous long whip was snapped in two by Lu Matong, and now he discarded it, but he touched his waist, and pulled out a black long whip from under his waist, and took a dozen of them. It is made of cowhide bands twisted with gold thread, and the heavy whip is decorated with more than a dozen blue blades gleaming with cold light. When you flick it, it makes a deafening sound like broken jade.

Although the long whip can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, it is easy to repel ordinary bandits. On the battlefield where swords, guns, swords and halberds are raging, it is too weak. Lu Sheng hesitated to speak, so he took Hou Yan with one hand Jumping down, he only said: "Ah Rong, I'll wait for you outside the city."

The two of them landed on the ground, taking advantage of the moment when the encirclement gap was filled up, they ran wildly, and rushed towards the city gate from the bluestone-paved street, only to see a burly headless guard rushing towards them with a pair of giant axes , There was no sound, only the heavy footsteps seemed to be able to break through the stone slabs, and the deafening sound made people's eardrums ache.

Running close, the headless guard raised his huge ax high and threw it at the two of them. Lu Sheng let go of Hou Yan and simply told him, "Look around." The headless guard went straight.

Hou Yan either punished traitors or oppressed good people in his life. He did bad things no less than a hundred times, but everyone in Yizhou City respected him as the youngest son of the Hou Zongbing, not to mention that this young man could at most beat people up. It was nothing more than flesh and blood, so everyone swallowed their anger and never confronted him seriously.

Therefore, he has traveled across Yizhou for 13 years, with a long whip making him superb, but he has never encountered such a life-and-death situation.When Lu Sheng let go of his hand, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly obeyed the order, holding a long whip and vigilantly looking around.

On the other side, Lu Sheng confronted the headless guard face to face. The huge ax fell into the air, but smashed the bluestone slab to pieces with a bang. Lu Sheng narrowly missed the ax and simply stepped on the thick On the back of the ax that looks like a stone pier, with a kick, the hanging pot is like a rainbow piercing the sun, drawing a nearly golden light in the deep rainy night, piercing through the center of the headless guard's thick and solid breastplate in the blink of an eye.

The headless guard looked mighty and fierce, but he couldn't stop the blow from the hanging pot, and immediately tore and dissipated like cloth, leaving only Lu Sheng's eagle-like figure, passing through the heavy rain, and fell silently to the ground.

Hou Yan's eyes widened, and there was more and more admiration in his eyes. Seeing Lu Shengyun lightly shook his wet robe sleeves, and turned to look at him, he immediately ran wildly, stammering: " Lu, Brother Lu..."

Lu Sheng only nodded slightly, and then raised his head to glance at the silver glow floating in the sky like a bright moon.He originally had a lot of things on his mind and wanted to clarify with Xie Rong, but now because of Hou Yan and Yu Ji, he didn't know how long it would be delayed.He sighed softly in his heart, but he just gently stroked the top of Hou Yan's head, and said solemnly: "You follow me out of the city, just protect yourself, don't worry about me."

Hou Yan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and the two of them ran wildly on the main road leading directly to the city gate, one behind the other. However, the black shadows gathered more and more thickly in the rain, and vaguely reshaped into the shapes of soldiers and generals.

Hou Yan looked terrified, stammered and said again: "Brother Lu... Mother, mother, is she a human or a ghost?"

Lu Sheng didn't hide it from him, and told him bluntly: "I don't know either."

As soon as the words fell, another fish that slipped through the net was chasing up from the right side. Lu Sheng pierced the ghost soldier's throat with a backhanded sword. The black shadows finally gathered and gathered in groups, gradually blocking the way ahead.

Lu Sheng opened the way with a sharp weapon, and he was invincible at first, but Hou Yan followed behind him, but gradually became unable to do what he wanted.The hanging pot is invincible and invincible. His long whip can frighten Xiaoxiao, but it can't stop the brave ghost soldiers. The attached sharp blade hits the armor naturally without pain or itching, and it breaks after a few times.

Hou Yan gritted his teeth tightly. Fortunately, he was strong enough, and he was proficient with the long whip. After a few attacks and defenses, he learned a new move. The long whip was as sharp and tricky as a poisonous snake. He only attacked the helmet of the headless guard, or smashed it Or entangled, the headless guards are attacking violently, but the helmet is the Achilles' heel. Once they are knocked into the air, their vision becomes black and they scurry around, disturbing the friendly troops.

However, the number that swarmed was far greater than the number that Hou Yan could destroy. The boy's strength was limited, and his strength gradually became weaker. In the end, he was just like the wind blowing a weak willow, slashing through the armor.The headless guard still stretched out his hand to grab Hou Yan, but fortunately Lu Sheng got back in time and cut off the ghost soldier's wrist with a single sword.

The silver light flickered, attacking from the severed wrist as if eroding, the headless guard seemed to be in severe pain, although he couldn't make a sound, he was struggling extremely fiercely.Hou Yan looked pale, if he hadn't been dragged by Lu Sheng, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

With this burden, Lu Sheng stumbled all the way, the headless guards became more and more dense, and even the hanging pot couldn't stop the opponent's overwhelming force. Lu Sheng was gradually injured inevitably, with a knife cut on the shoulder and a stab stab in the thigh , was washed by the heavy rain again, and the blood was washed away, and the whole person became paler and paler, almost as lifeless as a stone sculpture, and his breath was also short-lived.

The two struggled, breaking through the defense layer by layer. Even Lu Sheng realized that he was unable to do what he wanted. He had to pick up an iron sword from the ground and stuff it into Hou Yan's hand. He said in a hoarse voice, "Use the sword!"

When Hou Yanru received a hot potato, he threw away the iron sword in horror, and shook his head again and again. This kid showed no signs of arrogance at the moment, frightened and bewildered, his rosy lips were pale and blue from the cold, and his face was covered with rain, but he couldn't tell if he had ever cried.He just shook his head and said in a trembling voice, "No, no...Brother Lu..."

Lu Sheng lacked support, slipped his foot, and fell to the ground with one knee. The three headless guards rushed forward side by side. He closed his momentum very quickly, and his sword slashed across the thighs of the three ghost soldiers one after another. The bones were visible, and the three fell one after another. Lu Sheng pulled him in time and pulled him into his arms. Then his body froze, and then he swung his sword and slashed behind him, and the headless guard who was sneaking up behind him with his helmet and shoulders , Half of the body was cut off.

From the right back shoulder to the left waist, Lu Sheng was cut open with a huge and hideous wound. His flesh turned out and blood gushed out like a fountain. Even though it was raining heavily, the smell of blood became stronger.

Hou Yan hastily dragged Lu Sheng's wrist, and rushed to the gate of the city in one breath. The silver phoenix had rushed and rammed before, and even smashed through the solid and thick gate.He was short in stature, so he had to drag Lu Sheng blindly and charge forward, completely ignoring his manners.

When he ran out of the city gate, Lu Sheng became more and more dizzy. The raindrops on his back felt like thousands of steel needles pierced into the bone marrow, and the cold pierced his bones.There was an earth-shattering loud noise behind them, shaking the ground. Hou Yan and Lu Sheng were unsteady on their feet, and fell to the ground one after another, covered in mud.

Lu Sheng's fingers were trembling, and he tried to turn his head to look at Xie Rong's place, but there was a lot of darkness in front of him, and Lu Sheng seemed to be sinking into a piercing cold pool, and finally lost consciousness and unconsciousness.Amidst the ear-shattering rain, only Hou Yan's mournful and helpless voice crying out for Big Brother Lu echoed over the dark wasteland.
