After the immortal disappeared

Many mines seep into water, and some are even connected to groundwater.

"It's very dry." Jiang Lishui said, "It hasn't rained since we took over the mining area."

"This is a big rocky mountain with little water and soil. It hasn't rained recently. Ghosts probably don't like to stay on the mountain or at the bottom of the mine. So you sent people down later but couldn't find the little ghost." Fu Liushan pondered, "Then it's in the water. Near Bienhe Village.”

These two places are humid and humane, much better than the cold and hard stone mountains.

Fu Liushan asked the two of them while walking: "Do you know who it was before it was alive?"

"I only heard that he was a fierce general named Wang Xuanlu. He was defeated and died in the Howling Forest, and later turned into a fierce ghost."

"There are too many folk legends about the past of Xuanlu Ghost King, which have become distorted. Thank you for meeting me." Fu Liushan rolled up his sleeves. Dong Rui has observed that he often does this before he wants to boast. "For generations, my family has been collecting the events of the Ghost King's life and death, discarding the false and preserving the true. You must be right to listen to me."

"His original name was Wang Xuanlu, and he was born in Rolling Stone Valley three hundred years ago. He was favored by the local leader because of his outstanding cultivation and bravery in battle. He was promoted along the way and even married off his daughter; Wang Xuanlu lived up to the high expectations. , Overcame thorns and made great achievements in battle. But once, his father-in-law fought with a powerful enemy. Wang Xuanlu was besieged in the city until he ran out of food and arrows, and finally surrendered. Later, the enemy asked him to go back to persuade him to surrender, but his father-in-law refused, and five days later he broke out Killed. Wang Xuanlu swallowed his subordinates and surrendered to the enemy. The next year, he killed his new boss in the name of revenge."

Dong Rui heard this and let out a long sigh: "What a talent."

Everything about avenging my father-in-law is fake, it’s all fake. "It's just an excuse for a second betrayal."

"The second annexation was completed, and Wang Xuanlu finally became the lord of one side. His power gradually grew and he began to expand externally. However, he did not choose the target well the first time. It was too strong. Wang Xuanlu recruited allies and fought fiercely with the opponent for two days, but he could not defeat it. If he won, he had to retreat." Fu Liushan said with a smile, "Here's the wonderful thing. He actually left his allies and ran away. He didn't know when he was retreating, so he asked his allies to back him up. As a result, his ally was caught off guard and was seriously injured after being surrounded. die."

Doesn't this mean that I leave first and you stop? The ghost ape sitting on the wall spit out the peel to show his disdain.

When it fights, it always helps others break up.

"After this battle, Wang Xuanlu's reputation was a bit bad. But he was really brave in fighting, and his troops were well-prepared. He was also a strong man. Everyone wanted to win over him, at least not to offend him. So Wang Xuanlu did pass through again. It has been smooth sailing for several years, but when he joins forces with others, he always fails to work hard. He loses the least, escapes the earliest, and gets the most benefits. As time goes by, fewer people are willing to pay attention to him. "

"A few years later, Baoning rose up and swept across the central and western parts of the Golden Plains. Wang Xuanlu asked for help, but no one came to help him. He couldn't defeat them, so he had to go back to his old profession——"

Ling Guang interjected from the side: "Surrender?"

"right."

"Bao Ning?" Dong Rui blinked. Why does this name sound familiar?

"More than three hundred years ago, Luo Shengjia was the owner at that time."

"Oh -" Yes, yes, that rainy night, Fu Liushan once told Luo Shengjia's various past events in the tavern in Wuxian Town. Luo Shengjia has had many masters, and naturally there are many legends. One of them is about Bao Ning, "He was a fierce man, and he almost unified the central and western regions of Flash Gold. Wang Xuanlu was defeated by him. Abrupt."

Fu Liushan continued, "After he surrendered, Baoning did not make things difficult for him and sent him to guard Bailanguan. However, Baoning's methods were cruel, and there were some problems in the territory the next year. Uprisings and mutinies followed one after another, and there was a strong trend of turmoil. . Wang Xuanlu saw that the opportunity was too good to miss, and, ahem, led the crowd to rebel again."

Are you naturally rebellious? Dong Rui smiled and said: "Okay, this is very Wang Xuanlu."

He Lingchuan noticed the word "violent means" he used. Speaking of which, Luo Shengjia's previous owners seem to have behaved this way:

brutal.

"Unexpectedly, after Bao Ning cleared the enemies in the north, he sent his troops south to quell the rebellion. It was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. There were not many enemies who could be his enemies. Wang Xuanlu didn't beat him this time, and he still wanted to use the same trick. Zhong Shi surrendered again, but Bao Ning quit and offered thousands of gold for his head."

"Wang Xuanlu fled into the Howling Forest, but was beheaded by his subordinates and presented to Bao Ning."

"It is expected that he was too resentful before his death, and there was a sinister spirit in the Howling Forest, which contributed to the birth of the Xuanlu evil spirit. In fact, I think it might be more appropriate to call it the 'Yin General'." The appearance of evil spirits often has many coincidences.

Jiang Lishui had an indignant look on his face: "It's true that the sky has no eyes. This kind of person is a disaster in life, but can turn into a ghost after death and continue to cause chaos in the world. So many heroes are buried in loneliness, how come they don't get this treatment?"

Why doesn't the hero have a chance to return to the world and eliminate evil spirits again?

The speaker didn't mean it, but He Lingchuan felt something move in his heart:

Yeah, that makes sense.

"Wang Xuanlu was killed by Luo Shengjia's master during his lifetime. This is the first time." Fu Liushan touched his nose, "More than 150 years ago, Luo Shengjia defeated it again. At that time, it wore In the case of Patriarch Yingren, he is Fu Tianlin’s father.”

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other with understanding.

This evil ghost is really unlucky, or in other words, it has a really bad fate with Luo Shengjia.

"I met Luo Shengjia twice and lost both times. It doesn't seem surprising that the Xuanlu evil ghost is resentful."

Dong Rui murmured: "I feel a little sorry for this evil ghost."

I'm afraid it's about to suffer its third failure.

Fu Liushan looked at He Lingchuan with gloating in his eyes. He wondered who he would like to see cause trouble, He Lingchuan or Xuanlu Ghost King? "Xuan Lu will definitely retaliate. You'd better make some preparations."

He Lingchuan nodded: "What's unusual about the Howling Forest where the Ghost King can be born?"

Fu Liushan said sternly: "The forest is dense, and the sky is dark all year round. The atmosphere is gloomy. It is said that there are evil spirits running rampant in the forest, which is the most suitable place for ghosts to live."

He Lingchuan exclaimed: "It's evil."

"Isn't it?" Fu Liushan shook his head, "No practitioner wants to go there."

Is there any living creature that is not afraid of evil spirits?

Dong Rui immediately glanced at He Lingchuan, who touched his nose.

Fu Liushan continued: "Xuanlu Tianzun's Taoism is extremely profound. My father said that it can divide into many incarnations and act far away from the original deity. Twenty years ago, Xuanlu sent little ghosts to Jishi Village to seduce the souls, because he suffered Injured, or reborn as a clone, it is in urgent need of replenishment."

Dong Rui exclaimed: "In terms of time, it really looks like this."

Miners began to be killed in Rolling Stone Valley and Jishi Village, not long after they killed Nangong Yan and the evil ghost clone.
