Butterfly Wishes Series

"Du Haiying has left."

"Walk?"

The person with the appearance of Du Haiying thought about it for a while, and said straightly: "The soul is gone."

"Where is Du Haiyan, what did you do to her?" The peach red sword in Zhu Yingtai's hand was flickering with crimson light again, and the runes were faintly visible.The other party was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, a smile that could be regarded as surprise but also seemed unbelievable.

"Strange reaction. 』Zhu Yingtai thought.

"Du Haiyan has already left Treasure Island. Just now, I sent her out of the island with my own hands. This is the last thing Du Haiying asked me to do before leaving!"

Liang Shanbo quickly counted with his fingers, and then nodded to Zhu Yingtai.

Even Liang Shanbai and Zhu Yingtai couldn't get out of this island shrouded in ghost fog at the moment, but Du Haiyan, an ordinary girl, was able to escape smoothly. who is it?

"Why did you do this to Du Haiyan brothers and sisters?" While helping them, it also made Du Haiying lose his mind...

"I helped them because I was their ancestor. After Du Haiying's death, his soul returned to the Lantern Temple, but because the body was not in the temple, he was always in a daze. It was not until Du Haiyan set foot on this island that he was able to wake up and turn around. Wake me up, from now on I rely on the power of his soul to barely drive this body, and the next thing must be done by me, so I swallowed his power, which is also the soul, and I found you because I need you now s help."

There are so many meanings contained in this short sentence that Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbai looked at each other in dismay.No wonder Du Haiying's soul could not be summoned.Because he is willing to use his soul to support another ghost.

"Are you the ancestor of the Du family?"

"The one who sealed Zhao Li more than 2000 years ago."

"Zhao Li?"

"The general of Qi State imprisoned in the double coffin."

Both Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbai were taken aback.

"You are that... Dragon God?" Zhu Yingtai suddenly remembered the reason why the face of the Dragon God sculpture was familiar to him. In fact, the facial contour of that sculpture was somewhat similar to that of the Du family.

But the other party smiled bitterly with Du Haiying's face: "There has never been a dragon god. It's just a misleading misleading posterity. My name is Du Feng, and I am Feng from the ghost town of Fengdu. I was a human being when I was alive, but now I am a ghost. "

"So there has never been a dragon god on this island, it's just that you were deified by later generations?" Liang Shanbai asked.

"No, if we really want to talk about the dragon god, there is indeed one, and it's underground." Du Feng said, waving his hand, and the fresh air around him flowed, drawing a circle around several people, and the surrounding people The ghost fog receded a little immediately, forming a clean space.

Zhu Yingtai couldn't help but think, his power is really great, even if he is a ghost, it may be even worse when he is alive!

"Underground?" Liang Shanbai suddenly understood, "According to Feng Shui, the veins of the earth are the veins of the dragon, which are shaped like mountains. The dragon god of Treasure Island is a golden dragon. Could it be that..."

"It refers to the special mineral vein under Treasure Island that spans the entire island. Throughout the ages, Treasure Island has been blessed or cursed because of him."

"So the so-called treasure of the Dragon God is the Dragon God himself."

Du Feng nodded: "Treasure Island is just a misrepresentation. The real name of this island in ancient times was "Jinying Island"."

"Wuyue Chunqiu? Helu Neizhuan" recorded "Ganjiang made a sword, picked the iron essence of the five mountains, and the Jinying of Liuhe." Jinying?"

Liang Shanbai recalled the description of this metal in the metal analysis report commissioned by Wang Linfu: extremely high melting point, good ductility, strong plasticity, hard but flexible...Jin Ying, who called it the essence of metal, is indeed appropriate!

"You seem to have seen the picture scrolls in the Lantern Temple. The legend of the Golden Dragon Creation Island actually implicitly implies that there are Jinying mines hidden underground on Jinying Island, and the Golden Dragon is the incarnation of Jinying. This island has been floating on the sea since ancient times and has no connection with the Central Plains. , impoverished and closed, but there are special Jinying hidden on the island, which is difficult for the world to obtain even after exhausting their efforts. It is this kind of thing that triggered the subsequent series of events, and also attracted Zhao Li."

"Treasure of the Dragon God."

Du Feng sighed: "Yes. 2000 years ago, Zhao Li was ordered by Duke Kang of Qi to go out to sea to find the main island, with the intention of obtaining the underground mines here, making weapons, beheading the Tian family, repeating the rivers and mountains of Qi, and even aspiring to become the world..."

Sure enough.

Liang Shanbai interrupted him: "Isn't Qi Kanggong a descendant of Jiang Taigong? Why is he so useless? Also, this General Zhao is also rumored to have special abilities. Why didn't he protect Qi Guozuo, instead he came here to snatch the Jinying mines?" Want to restore the country again?"

Du Feng didn't answer but instead asked, "I wonder if you have heard the legend about the three magic weapons in Jiang Taigong's hands?"

"Three magic weapons? Is it... four different things?"

Zhu Yingtai answered from the side: "It is written in "Fengshen Yanyi" that before Jiang Ziya went down to Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun gave him three magic weapons, the four elephants, the whip, and the apricot-yellow flag, to help him defeat Zhou and prosper the Zhou Dynasty." "Four Unlikeness" can ride "Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains in an instant", "Whip the God Whip" can beat all kinds of monsters and ghosts, "Central Wuji Banner" has pictures in the banner, and clever tricks on the slips, viewing the slips can turn danger into good luck."

Liang Shanbai rubbed his chin: "With that kind of magic weapon, there is no one who can't deal with it, right?"

"But it's a novel after all," Zhu Yingtai said, "maybe there are elements of exaggeration, isn't it?"

Du Feng shook his head: "Historical facts are unreliable even in my lifetime. Some people say that the so-called ingenious plan in the Xinghuang Banner is mostly a pretext for Jiang Taigong's ingenious calculation. This is because he left behind "Six Secret Teachings", " You can get a glimpse of it in books such as Taigong Art of War, and some people say that the four elephants are just good horses and horses. Only the magic whip, before the death of Jiang Taigong, was indeed left to the descendants, and it is said that it can beat all kinds of monsters and ghosts. The whip with infinite divine power was cast from the golden ying that was buried deep in Kunlun, the fairy mountain.”

"Kunlun Jinying?" Liang Shanbai asked, "Compared with the Jinying of Jinying Island?"

"The Jinying here is a bit inferior, but the Jinying on Jinying Island can also make instruments with unique functions." Du Feng said, "The magic whip is an extraordinary thing, and it should be on the day when the Taigong rode the crane. Returning with the soul of the banner, but because the grandpa was worried about the descendants, he was forced to stay. Even so, it was against the will of heaven, and the descendants of the Jiang family were ordered by the grandpa not to keep this thing for themselves, so they entrusted it to the surname Zhao of the Huguo A general, in order to escape the supervision of heaven, also stated that unless the situation is urgent, it must not be used without authorization.”

"So Zhao Li's special ability is just because of the magic whip!" Liang Shanbai was a little disdainful.

Du Feng categorically vetoed it: "Zhao Liyou was a famous teacher. He was good at strategy, divination, art of war, martial arts, and thaumaturgy. The second monarch of Qi, Duke Zhixuan, died when Duke Kang came to the throne. He was 47 years old. At that time, the fortune of Qi State was declining day by day. Yu Yiyi, not only does not accept the advice, but also wants to demote him and take back the whip!"

"I want to come to Qi Kanggong because he is afraid that he will make great achievements and try to usurp the throne." Zhu Yingtai said coldly.

Du Feng sighed again: "Actually, Zhao Li knew that his lifespan was nearing the end of his life. The Zhao family was originally Jiang Lu's companion star, and the destiny was to live and die with Jiang Lu. By the time of Zhao Li's generation, the population had already withered. Zhao Li also had an only son. , but because of leaking secrets, he repeatedly persuaded Kang Gong to kill Tian Hefan and died because of the responsibility of heaven. Nian went to the court to flee overnight."

"Six years later, Tian and Dai Qi, Duke Kang wanted to use the magic whip to restore the situation, but found that the whip body was broken and could not be used again. Therefore, Jiang Lu's family was exiled at sea. Afterwards, Zhao Li and his subordinates came after Kang. The public scolded him for destroying the magic whip, and reprimanded him for not saving him. He took it all. What Kang Gong didn't know was that it was all because of Jiang Qi's exhaustion, and even Zhao Li should have died in the first place. "

"The dead?"

"Zhao Li's full life was 65 years old, and he should have died with Jiang Lu. Because he leaked the secret, he lost five years of life, so he should have died in the 13th year of Kanggong. My descendants can borrow 20 years of Yangshou to slow down the death limit.”

"Why bother!" Zhu Yingtai lamented, "A body with false yang and real yin, suffers from the scorching sun during the day, and suffers from the yin ghost at night. Blessings, maybe even the chance of reincarnation is lost!"

"Now that he has become a demon, he doesn't need to be reincarnated." Liang Shanbai also sighed, but his focus was in a different place. "It's a pity that a talent like Zhao Li has a foolish and loyal heart. It's a shame to meet such an unworthy lord again." , No matter how capable you are, you can’t use it, it’s really bad luck!”

"I think General Zhao doesn't care about personal luck or misfortune. He only wants to fulfill the entrustment of his ancestors and help Jiang Qi and the country. It can't be said that he is foolish and loyal. He also knows how to advance and retreat, and can divination. Of course he knows it is possible. In the end, he was probably still upright and couldn't pass his own test." Zhao Xianyi said lightly, but his tone showed his sincere admiration for Zhao Li.

"Having said that, it was an unjust act for him to steal Yangshou from others."

"Life is not created equal, not to mention he didn't take the lives of those people, he just borrowed a few years of life." Zhao Xianyi suddenly raised his voice.

Liang Shanbai and Zhu Yingtai looked at each other, both a little surprised that Zhao Xianyi would say such words.Such words, it sounds like... It seems that it should come from the mouth of a selfish person like Lu Xiuquan, not from this girl who looks strong and kind.

Du Feng glanced at Zhao Xianyi calmly, without making a statement.

"At that time, Zhao Li told Qi Kanggong that in order to repair or even recast a whip, he needed to find a substitute for Kunlun Jinying, and Jinying Island was the destination he had calculated, so Qi Kanggong decided to send him to bring a batch of The guards went out to sea, this is how Zhao Li came to Treasure Island."

"But I look at the long scroll of the Temple of Lights. It seems that Zhao Li and the others were very popular when they came to Treasure Island?" Liang Shanbai recalled the picture on the long scroll of soldiers, men, women and children greeting each other when they landed on Treasure Island. It doesn't look like there's going to be a confrontation.

"It was true at the beginning." Du Feng said, "Treasure Island has been closed since ancient times, and I don't know the outside world. Zhao Li's army...in fact, it's not an army. Qi Kanggong was exiled after all. At that time, he brought no more than forty Kang Gong guards, and ten followers he recruited himself. In order not to attract Tian's attention, he brought more courtesans, cooks, jugglers and all kinds of gold and silver treasures. The name of the establishment is to go to sea to find fairies for Kang Gong.

Kang Gong indulged in lust, and this statement must have deceived Tian's eyes and ears. Because of this, when Zhao Li and his party first came to the island, the islanders were far more curious than fearful of them, and Zhao Li's attitude at that time was also similar. Not hostile, he said, he came to borrow something and would leave if he got it, and said he had no intention of hurting anyone, and he showed the gifts, and the villagers accepted him and his soldiers easily. "

"It's completely different from now."

"That's because the villagers now are completely different from the villagers at that time." Du Feng said, and waved his hand again, and the pure air flowed with the gesture, driving away the ghost fog that was forced over while speaking.Zhu Yingtai discovered that although Du Feng claimed to be a human and a ghost, his aura was close to that of a person who has attained the Tao. It was any Taoist or thaumaturgic school he had seen in the past.

"At that time, I had just returned to Jinying Island not long ago..."

"Mr. Du is from Jinying Island?"

"Yes, although I have left before." Du Feng said, with three parts nostalgic and seven parts sentimental in his tone, "When I was young, I followed a strange man out of the island and traveled all over the world. Later, due to an accident, I had to return to my hometown. Promise to the old man, always live in seclusion in the forest of Jinying Island.”

"Lamp Temple?"

"Well, that's where I used to live."

It turns out that this is the truth about the so-called Dragon God Forest and Dragon God Palace.

"Because I vowed never to interfere in trivial matters, I didn't take Zhao Li's visit to the island to heart, but it also led to a tragedy later on."

"tragedy?"

Du Feng sighed: "At that time, the villagers were all moved by Zhao Li's sweet words, and they discussed offering him the Jinying vein in exchange for food, brocade, jewelry, etc. they had never tasted before. They didn't know the gold here. Ying must not be taken out of the island to make weapons, otherwise it will cause dire consequences!"

"Do you mean that if non-mortal things are mastered by mortals, they will have an impact on the operation of destiny in the world?"

"Not only that, but in fact, Jinying of Jinying Island is the hero of Yin Tie!"

Zhu Yingtai was taken aback.

"Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, and qi has two ends. People have men and women. The sun and the moon cannot shine together, and day and night cannot appear at the same time. But if there is a transgression, there will be changes. All mortal gold and silver are just common things. Although they are sharp, they can only break iron and cut gold. The Kunlun Jinying casted to beat the magic whip is the most yang thing in the world. Because of its strong yang energy, it can drive away all kinds of demons and ghosts; as for the Jinying Island of Jinying Island, it is the opposite. Yin thing, the weapons made of it can not only seal the throat with blood, but also drive the demons and monsters in the world, walk in the city in the daytime, eat the living, and easily cause life to die!"

Liang Shanbai frowned and said, "That General Zhao is very knowledgeable, doesn't he know that Jinying on this island cannot be cast and used casually?"

"Of course it's not that he doesn't know, it's just..." Du Feng thought for a while before finding a suitable word, "He's too conceited."

"He thinks he can control and tame this hero of Yin and Iron!?" Zhu Yingtai shook his head, "That's really conceited! The Yin Qi in the world has been deposited for tens of thousands of years to give birth to this kind of mineral vein. How can he tame a mere mortal with only a few decades of cultivation!"

Du Feng looked straight at Zhu Yingtai, and there seemed to be nostalgia, admiration, and a little... obsession in his eyes! ?Liang Shanbai was taken aback, not understanding why he could read these two words from Du Feng's eyes looking at his lover.This is just an ancient ghost from thousands of years ago, and the two of them shouldn't have had any intersections. Where did such complex eyes that seem to be full of years of accumulation come from?

He coughed softly, and put his arms around Zhu Yingtai's shoulders: "Yingtai is right, I guess Zhao Li is not reused by Duke Kang, I am afraid that there is also a reason why he is always arrogant."

Although Zhu Yingtai was a little puzzled by Liang Shanbai's sudden move, he let him go without breaking away.

For some reason, Du Feng lowered his eyes silently, and brought the topic back: "Zhao Li intends to win over the villagers, but the villagers think that exchanging Jinying for what they need is like exchanging labor for food. I know that Zhao Li's wooing is just a means, not an end."

"First, Zhao Li will not allow this batch of minerals to be obtained by other people. If he can find this batch of minerals today, others may find them tomorrow, so he must prevent others from setting foot on Jinying Island."

"Exactly." Du Feng nodded at Liang Shanbai, "So he ordered people to burn fire day and night to make bricks, and built a lighthouse as a guard."

It turns out that this is the reason why the soldiers and villagers on the long scroll built the tower together. This ancient lighthouse was specially built to protect the treasure of the Dragon God, Yin Tie Zhiying.

"Secondly, he needs to hold the mine vein in his hands, and of course he will not allow people in the know to leak information, so he..." Liang Shanbai suddenly paused at this point, "According to his temper, once he finds the mine vein, wouldn't it be It is very likely to kill everyone on Jinying Island?"

"All...all of them?" Zhao Xianyi asked in surprise, "But aren't their descendants still alive? Were they saved by you?"

Du Feng did not answer this question directly. Instead, he sighed and repeated: "The villagers of Jinying Island today are different from the villagers of Jinying Island in the past."

"After thousands of years, of course not..." Liang Shanbai stopped abruptly, "Wait, don't you mean..." He was dumbfounded and didn't want to believe his speculation.

"Could it be that all the Mingjin villagers died 2000 years ago?" Zhu Yingtai couldn't believe it completely, but this was the only possibility.

Du Feng answered this question with silence.

"But, but aren't there still so many villagers here now? These villagers can't just appear out of thin air!" Zhao Xianyi stammered.

"The villagers of Mingjin Village you see now are actually the descendants of the group of people brought by Zhao Li back then!"

The truth was so shocking that both Liang Shanbai and Zhu Yingtai were shocked, and Zhao Xianyi even covered his mouth, as if he had been greatly shocked!

"It doesn't make sense." Liang Shanbai said, "If Zhao Li slaughtered all the villagers of Mingjin Village before you attacked him, and then he was killed by you, then how could his subordinates stay behind?" Live on this island? Even if they are afraid that they will be punished by Duke Kang if they fail the mission and go back, they should have fled to the Central Plains instead of staying on this barren island where so many people died. Furthermore, you should have also Haven't died yet, otherwise someone wouldn't have set a seal on the coffin lid and the whole island to imprison Zhao Li's soul, aren't they afraid of you?" The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he always felt that this matter was going around all the time. No way.

But Du Feng said the second unbelievable thing: "Zhao Li didn't actually die by my hands."

Zhu Yingtai remembered that Du Feng had just said that he was the one who sealed Zhao Li, but not the one who killed Zhao Li.

"Then who else would kill him? At that time, there were only you, the villagers of Mingjin Village, Zhao Li and his army on this island. The villagers of Mingjin Village were dead at the time, and you said that you did not do it. Of course Zhao Li would not I killed myself, so the rest..." Liang Shanbo paused, "Mution? For Jin Ying?"

"Jin Ying is one of the reasons. In fact, Duke Kang issued a secret order before departure."

"Duke Kang doesn't believe in Zhao Li at all, right?" Zhu Yingtai asked, "He has always been suspicious of Zhao Li, thinking that he will rebel against him and will be bad for him. Even if Jiang Qi is dead, he himself has already been exiled to the sea. Zhao Li felt that he was doing his duty with all his heart, thinking that Duke Kang would always trust him this time, but on the contrary, his behavior deepened Duke Kang’s suspicion and even hatred of him! I think maybe in Duke Kang’s heart, It was Zhao Li who broke the magic whip. Zhao Li rejoined him just as a joke or for other purposes, such as being Tian He's eyeliner, so Zhao Li proposed to reforge a divine weapon himself. So happy to push the boat along the way, he sent Zhao Li away from his side so that he could do it."

"That's why Duke Kang sent so many guards?" Liang Shanbai pondered.

"Yes, Duke Kang sent several times as many guards as Zhao Li's side. He made up his mind from the very beginning. If what Zhao Li said was true, then once the artifact was cast, these followers would take Zhao Li away If it is false, then it is even more important to deal with Zhao Li on the spot on this isolated island in the vast sea without anyone noticing."

Anyway, it's a dead word.With a passion for serving the country, sacrificing his own son and himself, this is what he got in the end!Zhu Yingtai deeply felt sad for this general who was more than 2000 years ago, but then he thought again, why didn't Zhao Li himself slaughter the whole village of Mingjin Village, just to achieve his own goals and protect the people he wanted to protect? ?Is Zhao Li more pitiful or hateful?

"Killers are always killed." Liang Shanbai patted Zhu Yingtai's shoulder, "Mr. Kang must still want you and Zhao Li to kill each other, so that his followers can take advantage of the fisherman."

"Zhao Li didn't know about my existence at first. He thought that the villagers knew where the ore veins were and thus lured them to benefit. The golden dragon, the incarnation of the mine vein, does not stay in the same place all the time. The villagers can indeed tell him the geographical location of the mine vein, but if Jin Ying wants to avoid him, he still cannot find the source of the mine vein. Later he learned that there is a person like me , so he came to the door himself, and I still clearly remember the situation when he came to me in the first place.”

Du Feng seemed to be lost in memory: "Zhao Li is obviously a military commander, but he is polite and elegant, and it is easy to attract people's feelings. I thought he was a sensible person, and seeing that he knew alchemy, I thought that I would simply send him It would be better to explain to him that Jinying cannot leave the island. After hearing this, he really said that he had only calculated that there was Shentie on Jinying Island but did not know that it was Yintiezhiying. Now that he knew it, he of course understood this. Zhong Jinying couldn't go out of the island, he said he would retreat, and went back to persuade Kang Gong to find a way, I thought the matter was over, who would have thought that he would lead troops to slaughter the whole village of Mingjin Village that night as soon as he turned around! There are 65 people, old and young, at the head of the village and at the end of the village, none of them are left behind!”

"Did he think that you would be afraid and tell him where Jin Ying is?"

"No, no, the fundamental purpose of Zhao Li's move is not to intimidate!" Zhu Yingtai thought more deeply than Liang Shanbai, "Yin Tiezhiying's favorite is resentment, yin, and corpse. Zhao Li wants to rely on this Tu Lu found the mine gas, guided by the ghosts of this village, even if Mr. Du refuses to speak again, even if the golden spirit flows again, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Li's strategies and methods were fully demonstrated in this attack and defense!

"You can also guess what happened afterwards. Zhao Li discovered the location of the Jinying mine. In order to prevent Zhao Li, I fought a battle with him. Both of us were seriously injured. His subordinates felt that the time was right and took the opportunity to kill him. They were too naive to think that everything was over, but they didn't expect that Zhao Liyin died extremely unjustly, and he used sorcery to save his life, and he was once infected by Yin iron veins. The grievances of his personal attendants who were beheaded to death together..."

"Instantly becoming a demon." Zhu Yingtai murmured, the right time, place and people are in harmony, it's too scary!

"The situation was too urgent at that time, and I had no choice but to use..." Du Feng said here but there was a strange pause.

"What?" Liang Shanbai asked, he had been very concerned about Du Feng's attitude from just now, and sure enough, he looked at Zhu Yingtai again when he said this, but this time there were different emotions.

Did Du Feng really know Yingtai in the past?Liang Shanbai was puzzled, but how could it be possible for two people whose time and space have intersected in 2000?

Previous...life?

"I used an extremely dangerous method to defeat Zhao Li's soul, and then used the child-mother array to seal him with the aura of the whole island and the power of the coffin, and the group of people Zhao Li brought were also killed. I cast a spell to set the rules, and I made them swear to live on this island forever and ever, and never leave the island, otherwise they will be cursed and die!"

"Why?" Zhu Yingtai asked. From Du Feng's description of himself just now, he has discovered that in Du Feng's time, Jinying Island actually did not have a rule not to leave the island. After all, Du Feng once traveled outside the island and returned. , definitely not like today's Du Haiyan, who will be made things difficult once she returns to the island, "Why do you have to set such inhumane rules!"

"I don't want people to know about Jinying Island and attract another group of young people. This is one." Du Feng said, his eyes were deep, as if he had deep meaning, "Second, people who have entered the Jinying mine vein , can no longer be regarded as ordinary people, and cannot survive outside this island, so they have to stay on this island.”

"You're afraid that they won't be able to withstand the yin and yang neutrality from the outside world."

"That's right."

"Then why do we have to include the descendants? Those prostitutes, dancers and the like must have never entered the mine." Liang Shanbai asked.Living on such a barren island may be a kind of luck in times of war, but in times of peace, especially in today's prosperous era of economic development and scientific progress, it can be regarded as a kind of torture.When he said these words, he couldn't help but think of the lifeless people he saw in Mingjin Village. They were exclusive and lonely, and they always held inexplicable hostility towards the outside world.

"I need enough raw yang energy to defend my formation and suppress Zhao Li."

"So the matter of the lamplighter was also made by you?"

"It's me." Du Feng said, "After the battle with Zhao Li, I was seriously injured. I knew that my lifespan was coming to an end. In order to protect Zhao Li from returning to the world, I ordered Zhao Li's subordinates to bury my body in his coffin. On him, the dead were crushed, the soul was used to suppress the soul, and a temple of lamps was built, worshiped every day, and lamplighters were set up to light lamps every night, all in order to appease the dead souls in the spring."

It sounds like everything is clear, but why is it still unreliable!Liang Shanbai thought, yes, there is one more thing, for some reason he just cares about it.

"Who painted that long scroll in the Lantern Temple!"

Du Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It should be painted by the group of people brought by Zhao Li. They are afraid of my dead soul, and even more afraid that the shameful things they did will be left to future generations, so they faked such a dragon god legend. Just because I was born with a pair of dragon horns and the shape of a golden dragon from the Jinying vein, I was molded into the image of a dragon god. Even my family asked me to do it..." Du Feng suddenly stopped, obviously realizing that he had said too much, but Zhu Yingtai still understood the last word he didn't say at once. Like always knew.

Being squeezed out, bullied, reviled, but also shunned and feared by...a ghost.

Just like him!

"I want to know the meaning of the last picture, don't you think that picture is very strange? The island is gone, and the people are gone, only the dragon's claw locust tree at the entrance of the lamp shrine is left in the sea. What is that? mean?"

Du Feng seemed to be taken aback: "Long... Longzhuhuai?"

"Why, you don't know?" Liang Shanbai grasped this point keenly, "On the last picture of the long scroll, there is only a locust tree standing in the middle of the sea, with its reflection below. The two trees seem to have root systems. The branches and leaves are intertwined, by the way, the style of the whole picture is also very different from the previous one, could it be..." He had a guess, "This is not drawn by the same person?" So Du Feng didn't know?

Du Feng looked very embarrassed, he hesitated for a while before reluctantly replied: "Maybe after my death, someone repainted the scroll."

"So it wasn't like this before?" Zhu Yingtai asked, "What was the earliest picture scroll like?"

"This..." Du Feng struggled for a while and finally replied, "I can't remember."

"How can I not remember..."

"Ah!" Zhao Xianyi suddenly exclaimed from the side: "Then, what happened over there?"

A few people turned their heads, and through the heavy fog, they could still see the abnormally bright sky in the north. Du Feng made a strange gesture with two fingers, and a burst of clear air shot out between the fingers, tearing the thick fog, revealing the fog behind It's like a mirage!

It was a big fire, but it didn't look like a big fire.The silent bluish-white flame was evil and cold, covering most of the sky, and the tongue of flame licked high, as if it wanted to tear the sky apart.

"That direction is... Mingjin Village?"

"Something happened to the villagers!"

Ignoring any more questions, Liang Shanbai and Zhu Yingtai ran towards Mingjin Village.

The wind direction is from southeast to northwest, so even though the Dragon God Forest is on the edge of Mingjin Village, it has not been affected yet, but this is only temporary.Once you enter the edge of the forest area, you can fully feel the power of that strange flame.The grassland at the edge of the Dragon God Forest was completely withered and scorched black, the trees were cracked and turned upside down, exposing the same scorched branches, and the worse scene happened naturally in Mingjin Village!

The entire village was surrounded by bluish-white flames. This quietly burning flame didn't seem to be very hot, but it could easily burn everything.The wooden archway at the head of the village was torn down long ago, and the plaque with the words "Mingjin Village" decomposed and moaned "beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep". Only the stone sculpture is still standing precariously in the firelight, cracked and decayed, like a dead man who tried to make the final blow but failed before dying.

The pace of the flames engulfing is extremely fast, like countless termites passing through. One moment, the village house was good, and the next moment, the house collapsed, the plants were scorched, and the chickens and ducks raised by the villagers were burned to death. It was scorched but had a cold taste that was different from burning with an open fire.But the strange thing is that there is not a single villager in the village, and their cry for help cannot be heard!

"Yinhuo?" Liang Shanbai said, "The method is so vicious, even the bones and souls of people want to be swallowed together!"

"Where have all the villagers gone?" Zhu Yingtai asked.

"In the underground dark village." Du Feng said beside him, "The people brought by Zhao Li once slaughtered the villagers. In order to prevent the same nightmare from happening to themselves, they built a dark underground village after the incident was over. , Those dragon-shaped town house beasts in the village are actually lookout eyes.”

No wonder Zhou Gaoan only saw an empty village when he came to provoke him. It turned out that all the villagers were hiding in the ground, quietly watching him from every corner, watching him smash their homes, and leave arrogantly. go!

Zhu Yingtai suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at Du's house, he had felt the prying eyes at the door of Du's house, and what he saw when he turned his head was a dragon-shaped town house beast.Who is spying on them and why?

Liang Shanbai suddenly pulled Zhu Yingtai, and said in a low voice: "Restrain your breath." Several people immediately dodged aside knowingly, and restrained their breath while setting up the blinding spell.

Shadows from far and near gradually appeared in the bluish-white flame.A large group of people walked towards the entrance of the village stiffly, led by soldiers in rotten armor. They had been dead for thousands of years and had been buried in various parts of the island, but now they emerged from the ground, regained their weapons, and still moved neatly They are uniform, as if alive, only the white bones exposed under the armor reveal their identities.

It's Lu Xiuquan's ghost soldier!

Zhu Yingtai smelled his extremely sensitive and disgusted breath, which came from the ground, dark and malicious.

"Lu Xiuquan has appeared." Liang Shanbai whispered.

Sure enough, after the front row of ghost soldiers cleared the way, Lu Xiuquan arrived like an emperor.Standing beside him was a living person, no, it should be said that it was a former person, but now a living corpse.Zhu Yingtai saw Wang Zhen, Ge Peng, Gao Rui and even Liu Ruomeng—the body of Liu Ruomeng they left on the beach at that time probably climbed up and left after they turned and walked away, and went to her master with a new identity. But don't know.

Lu Xiuquan was proud of his spring breeze, his toes were high, and his gestures were cold and proud. From his face, one can indeed see a black air covering it, and another face can be vaguely seen, but...

"Strange." Liang Shanbai said, obviously also noticed what Zhu Yingtai noticed - if according to what Zhao Xianyi said, Lu Xiuquan has been possessed, he shouldn't look like this, he still looks like Lu Xiuquan, and He didn't become another person, let alone the rumored Zhao Li who was good at strategizing and divination. What's going on!

The villagers followed suit, and the cyan flame retreated a few feet to make room for humans to walk.

The old, the weak, women and children, the strong and the young were all forced to go up to the surface from the underground shelters. Surrounded by a whole group of ghosts, they dared not respond except to make promises. Even children dared not cry, so they could only bury their faces in their mothers. Escape from reality in the embrace of her.

When everyone got on the ground and was driven to one place, Lu Xiuquan raised his jaw and lectured them with the appearance of a self-righteous king: "Listen up, people of Mingjin Village. From now on, you are my slaves. Do whatever you are asked to do, cry if you are told to cry, laugh if you are told to laugh, whoever dares to disobey..." He said, pausing at the right time, his eyes swept across the crowd to show threats, "Don't blame me for being rude!"

The villagers huddled together, not daring to vent their atmosphere. They were just a few tall and strong men who wanted to express their dissatisfaction.
