The three-flowered cat walked ahead alone with cheerful small steps, stopping from time to time.

When he stopped, he turned his head and looked back.

People and ghosts walk behind them.

The Taoist asked the ghosts around him, "How many ghosts are there in the city now?"

"Mr. Hui, more than 1,200."

"So many..."

"There were so many last year."

"It's amazing."

"I don't know... I don't know where the magic is?"

"Are they all from the original Yuan'an City garrison?"

"The news that Mr. He heard is wrong." The ghost in armor said, "More than ten years ago, the Saibei people went south and indeed captured this Yuan'an City. Not only did they slaughter all the soldiers in the city, but many of them were Tortured to death by them, under the sky of resentment, there are 3,000 soldiers stationed in the city, and indeed a few people turned into ghosts and ghosts and refused to disperse. However, most of the more than 1,200 ghosts in the city are not the original 3,000 The garrison turned into ghosts, the original defenders of Yuan'an City, turned into ghosts, only twenty or thirty."

"oh?"

"It's like waiting for me." The ghost in armor looked back at the people around him, "I waited for more than ten years ago in the northern border battlefield and died as a ghost, and it took several twists and turns to get here."

"I see."

This is more reasonable.

At first he thought that the ghosts in Turtle City were formed by the garrison in the city, but that really shocked him - even now, it is impossible for thousands of defenders to have hundreds of people become ghosts, let alone more than ten years ago.

Song You glanced at the ghost again, and then continued to ask curiously: "Then why did you come here?"

"This is really helpless."

"There's nowhere to go when you're dead."

"I heard that there is a turtle city here, which has become a ghost city. Since the city was slaughtered by the Saibei people, the imperial court has not sent any new people in. We thought we had a place to live, so we gathered here."

"I heard that in the past two years, Taoist priests, monks, and ghost messengers from the south have been searching everywhere for us soldiers who have become ghosts after death. Some people were taken away by them, and they didn't know what to do. I heard that some were taken there. The consequences of the ghosts are not very good, we don't want to go, so we have to stay here. There are so many ghosts here, those people dare not come."

"I don't know where those ghosts have been taken..."

"I heard that a ghost city of the underworld was built in the south? I don't know if it's true or not?"

The ghosts seemed to see that Song You didn't have much malice towards them, and felt that such gods really didn't need to pretend to deceive themselves, so they talked about it one by one.

Song You also nodded, expressing his understanding.

Most ghosts actually have thoughts similar to humans, but they are far more lonely than humans. After being alone for a long time, they will become timid and may change. If they can gather together for warmth, no ghost will refuse.

"I also heard that the national teacher built a ghost city of the underworld in Fengzhou, but although I have traveled all over the world, I haven't seen Fengzhou with my own eyes, so I dare not tell you." Song You paused, "But the ghost city It's really not a good thing for ghosts to gather in Yangjian. It's good for you to just gather here, but something happened again. I heard from you that there was a thunderstorm that fell a few days ago. I'm afraid this Turtle City will really be difficult to continue Let’s be your shelter again.”

When the ghosts heard this, they were shocked.

They are not new ghosts. They have gathered here for more than ten years, and it is different from those ghosts in the south who have no companions since they became ghosts. Learned something.

"It's all because of that big ear!"

"I've advised him to be honest!"

"And General Chang..."

"well……"

"Then what should I do?"

For a moment, the ghosts were frightened, complained, sighed, and were devastated.

But this grassland is not as good as the south.

There are villages everywhere in the south, where there are villages, there must be graves, and where there are graves, you can rest your feet. But the land here is sparsely populated, and graves are more difficult to find than in the south. Although they are warriors who became ghosts, they became ghosts not long ago. When it comes to Taoism, they are far inferior to the scholar ghost in Changjing. place to hide. If you leave this Turtle City and live elsewhere on this prairie, you may not be able to find another place with graves within a day, which is really not an easy task.

At this moment, the Taoist's voice came from beside him.

"Just now I heard from you that you all come from different armies in the north, so you may not necessarily have an affiliation with the ghost who caused troubles to the people around you, so I will ask directly." Song You turned his head and looked at the ghost soldiers with a smile , "I don't know what you said, who is that Feng Daer? Who is General Chang? What happened around the past few years seems to be related to them?"

"this……"

The ghost in armor who had talked a lot just now refused to speak.

After a while, a ghost behind him gritted his teeth and said aloud:

"What's wrong with that?

"Although that Feng Da Er is capable, but he is greedy by nature and harms the people, so what kind of hero is he? Although you and I joined the army and became ghosts, who were not the children of the people's family when we were alive?

"General Chang doesn't do such things, but he is not the general we were in the north! Besides, this man has a bad temper and often beats the soldiers. Why should we hide the crimes he committed?

"Why should we be implicated by what these two people did?

"Let's go back, sir! That Feng Da'er and General Chang are the only two ghost generals in this city, and many ghosts in the city are at their disposal! After we gathered here, there was a decree of the national division from Changjing , Said to make this place a shelter for us, ordered us not to cause chaos, not to hurt others, and we also kept it in mind, this has persisted until now!

"But that Feng Daer relied on his own being the first to become a ghost, his high abilities, and his followers in this place. He always sends people out to harm the people's cattle and sheep, and competes with General Chang for power!"

Song You asked curiously again: "Where is General Chang?"

"General Chang was originally a ranger general in the north. He was very brave. Most of the ghosts from the north were willing to listen to him. Before that, Feng Da'er often made troubles around. The Yanzhou government sent people to check, and there was a group of people As soon as we come up, we will burn our place again, dig the earth and open the grave, come in the morning, leave in the afternoon, burn next to each other, dig next to each other, several brothers are all out of their wits, General Chang has a bad temper again Yes, after knowing where they lived, I ordered that night to bring people, oh no, bring ghosts to find them..."

"That's right..."

Song You also found it interesting.

This ghost is a young man with a round face.

The accent sounds like it's from Jingzhou.

Thinking about it, it's quite emotional. It seems that this ghost was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old when he died, but he lost his life on the battlefield at such a young age.

Looking up, there is a huge shadow in the darkness in the distance, it should be approaching Turtle City.

The three-flowered cat still walked ahead, stopping from time to time to look back at the Taoist and listen to what he and the ghost had to say.

Talk to this round-faced ghost for a few more words, and Song You will almost understand.

Both Feng Da'er and General Chang were formerly generals in the northern frontier army. They were highly skilled in martial arts and were very brave during their lifetime.

Feng Da'er was the first to become a ghost, the first to come here, he has high ability and deep experience, and he often goes out in disregard of the national teacher's decree to suck the essence and blood of the people's cattle, sheep and horses to strengthen himself, so his ability is very high. However, these ghosts all disdain Feng Daer, and are also very dissatisfied with him for not listening to the national teacher and causing trouble for Turtle City.

General Chang had a good record in the north, and he was more prestigious than Feng Da'er, but he had a bad temper, bloodthirsty, and often bullied the ghost soldiers when he didn't fight, so he didn't like these ghosts.

However, the rules in the military are different after all.

Whether Feng Da Er or General Chang, they were not the generals they followed during their lifetime. But after all, he is a general, he was quite powerful during his lifetime, and he settled down in this Turtle City after his death. Among these few ghosts, except for this round-faced ghost who is willing to talk about them, the rest of the ghosts are not willing to talk about them.

And these two ghosts are not both doing bad things.

This place is very close to the border. More than ten years ago, Saibei people went south in a big way, and even once crossed Yanzhou, entered Hezhou, and hit the gate of Beifeng Pass. The people who died here were not only Dayan people, but also Dayan. Talents are qualified to transform into ghosts, both of them were enemies in life, and after death they were urged by obsession, so naturally they did not deal with each other.

The ghosts of Turtle City can't tolerate them.

In addition, in the past two years, the eighteen tribes of the Saibei Grassland have once again sent troops to the south, and it is said that ghosts and ghosts have participated. Previously, there were often little demons and little ghosts who crossed the border and went all the way south, seeming to want to go to the snow field. Many little ghosts were stopped when they passed by the vicinity of Turtle City.

It's really complicated to say.

"gentlemen……"

The ghost in armor looked at Song You and said nervously, "Yuan'an City is just ahead."

"good."

Song You almost knew what they meant.

This Turtle City really does not need anyone to lead the way, it is just on the grassland, and you can walk along the Great Wall. Looking at it this way, there is indeed no gate, and anyone can enter. I think these ghosts brought me here because I heard about my deeds of subduing demons and eliminating demons in Heyuan. They are also afraid that other ghosts will think of them as traitors.

"Everyone, please bring them here. Since there is no door here, and it is a deserted official land, I just go in by myself."

"Then Mr. Yi."

The ghost in armor clasped his hands and said.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the Taoist shout again:

"Please wait a moment."

"What else do you want sir?"

But I saw this Taoist staring at him intently: "I heard the general's accent, he seemed to be from Yizhou, and the general's appearance seemed familiar. I don't know where he lived before he died? Gao's name?"

This ghost looks like he should be a school lieutenant.

"Mr. Hui, the little one lived in Yidu before his death, and his surname is Tang and his name is An." The school captain replied.

"Tang An..."

Song You already showed a smile.

Memories seem to be brought back.

"yes."

Xiaowei Gui didn't know why for a while.

"The general doesn't know something." Song You said to him, "Before going down the mountain, he practiced in Lingquan County, Yizhou. The first stop on the way down is Yidu."

"That... that is fate..."

Xiao Weigui remembered what he said "somewhat familiar", and suddenly felt a tight feeling similar to being alive.

If it weren't for the lack of breathing, I'm afraid it would take a while to breathe.

"The general has a younger brother?"

"My brother's name is Tang Zhong!"

"The general looks a lot like him."

"Everyone said that since I was a child!" The captain's tone changed a bit, "Sir... Sir, have you met my brother in Yidu?"

"I've seen it."

"Is my brother okay?"

"It's been five years since I left Yidu, and it was pretty good back then."

Song You thought of the middle-aged man in Yidu, as well as the obsession of that woman.

The remnant soul often sang and danced in the courtyard, singing sadly and dancing gracefully. Looking forward to the return of her husband in this way is Song You's deepest memory in Yidu.

And although Tang Zhong really wanted to use Song You's hand to get rid of the obsession left by his sister-in-law, and then take back the courtyard of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but Song You didn't do what he wanted, and he seemed to give up in the end .

As for this person...

Human nature is complicated, people have thousands of faces, and the world is also complicated. Song You doesn't want to comment too much.

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine."

The captain ghost muttered to himself, as if he had lost his soul.

Then the preacher said to him:

"The general still has a wife?"

"Sir! Sir, have you met my wife? How is she? How have you been all these years? Has the news of my death been sent back? Before I died, I was mentioned to Captain Yihui. Have they received a pension?"

"Perhaps there were too many people who died that year, and it seems that there is no news about it." Song You shook his head and said, "But although there is no news, Ling Zheng has been waiting for you to go back at home."

"She...she hasn't remarried yet?"

"No."

"Is she still waiting for me?"

"Waiting." Song You said, "Waiting foolishly."

"..."

The school lieutenant ghost in armor froze in place.

If it weren't for the ghost without tears, I would have already burst into tears.
