I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"Zhaoye City was originally devoured by monsters. I heard that one day, the yellow sand from the north attacked, devouring the world and swallowing up Zhaoye City. I don't know what monsters are in the yellow sand. After the yellow sand passed, all the remaining people in the city The guards all turned into bones, and then Zhaoye City became a demon city, gathering countless demons, and neither we nor Saibei people dared to enter Zhaoye City with a radius of hundreds of miles." The ranger named Feng said, the fire reflected Looking at his expression, he was both scared and calm, "The monster occupying Zhaoye City is called the King of Yellow Sand by our soldiers in the north. It's just that the news spread to the capital, and we don't know that those nobles in the court believe it. If you don’t believe it, folks mostly listen to it as fairy tales.”

"The King of Yellow Sand..."

"Since a few years ago, the Beacon Tower, which is the closest to Zhaoye City, has reported that thunderstorms often come to the world in Zhaoye City. At its peak, thunderstorms are everywhere in a radius of a hundred miles, and even priests can be seen in the sky. I also heard that someone saw I don’t know if it’s true or not, but we re-entered Zhaoye City in the summer of the year before last.”

"The summer before last..."

It was the summer of the fourth year of Mingde.

At that time, I was in Changjing with Empress Sanhua.

"Yes." Feng Youqi said, "At first we were very apprehensive, but we soon thought about it. Being eaten by monsters and being killed by Saibei people is actually the same. And it has been a long time There is nothing special about Zhaoye City, the monsters must have been taken away by the heavens, at most, they will occasionally meet some little demons and little ghosts..."

Speaking of this, You Qi, surnamed Feng, smiled.

"Oh, there are demons and ghosts in troubled times. We northerners are different from southerners. We have seen a lot, especially after joining the army. We have seen too many little demons and ghosts. Many of them have no skills. The folk masters can rely on the skills passed down. As for getting rid of it, we warriors, as long as we are courageous, can kill it with our swords, guns, bows and arrows, the first time is a bit scary, but after two more times, we will get used to it."

When everyone around heard this, they also smiled.

The heroism of the heroes in the Northern Army can be seen in this knowing smile.

"You are all heroes."

"It's just a warrior."

When the voice fell to the ground, there was some movement behind him.

With the light of fire and stars, one can faintly see figures moving in the night.

It seems to be spying here.

The rangers were very alert and turned their heads to look over there. Someone took a piece of firewood from the fire and threw it gently in that direction.

"call……"

The firewood flew across the air, and the flame was suppressed by the wind for a while, and after landing, many sparks burst out, and then the flame flourished.

The figure quickly moved to the side.

But just at that moment, the firelight also reflected its figure.

It's a monster that looks like a human.

Along the way, Song You has seen some similar ones.

There are legends about this kind of evil thing on the grassland closest to here, saying that it will spy on people's houses through the cracks in the doors and windows in the middle of the night, and make noises outside to trick people into opening the door. Go in and eat all the people in the house alive. It is also said that it will break the door, or that it is timid and afraid of making noise. I don't know if it is a rumor or different individuals have different personalities.

Song You didn't know what it was called, but he only knew that after death, the evil energy and blood energy condensed and lingered for a long time.

It can be inferred from this that most of them were formed by warriors on the battlefield.

The world is vast, and under different conditions, all kinds of strange and evil things are often cultivated. The Fulong Temple can only travel to the world to see it from generation to generation, and then record new ones.

You can only write down more, but not everything.

"Night Tourist..."

The Ranger with the surname Feng reported its name.

"Don't worry, sir."

The other ranger also said, grinning at Song You, revealing a mouthful of neat yellow teeth under the firelight, then untied the horse's spear, carried it on his shoulder with his left hand, and picked up a crossbow with his right hand.

The rest were like him, and a few others drew wood from the fire.

Everyone looked at each other and scattered in the night sky.

A few flames moved bit by bit.

There are occasional black shadows flickering in the middle.

"Canopy..."

There was a very slight sound of bowstrings, several times in a row.

"Roar……"

"This way!"

"ah!!"

"puff!"

"call……"

I also heard the shouts of these rangers, the collision of long spears with flesh, the movement of people rolling on the ground, the screaming of evil things, the torches in the distance dimmed and extinguished, and sparks shot out from time to time. Reflecting the silhouettes of several rangers, only a few times can one see the hideous monster with rags on its body.

Not long after, several people came back, bringing along a half-rotten and smelly head by the way.

"Keep sir waiting."

Feng Youqi said to Song You.

Someone behind him lifted the head and hung it on his horse.

"No problem."

Song You was also very calm.

"Since the war more than ten years ago, there have been more and more ghosts on the grassland. We call them Ye You Gong. They usually run around at night, like wandering spirits. They lie down during the day and don't know. I thought it was just an ordinary corpse." The surnamed Feng said, "So when we are patrolling during the day, if we encounter a corpse, we usually have to cut off the head, and it will be fine, and it can be used as a military service when we take it back."

"Yeyou Gong." Song You repeated, "It's quite appropriate."

"It's all named after people who have studied in the army."

"I've met this kind of ghost before on the way down the road. I only know that it doesn't feel pain, but I don't know what's so special about it?" Song You asked curiously.

"There's nothing special about it." Feng Youqi said, "Sir, I don't know if the pain is the same, and the other thing is not to be caught and bitten by it, or you will have a high fever and die soon. In addition, you will die with a living warrior. There's not much difference, oh, it's a little bit stronger, and without martial arts skills, ordinary prairie men, as long as they are brave enough and not afraid, can restrain it."

"I see."

Song You had already written it down in his heart.

When you are ready to pick a time, write it down.

"Besides, there is Mrs. Fen Mian in this grassland. She often pretends to be a woman and harms people where there are people. We don't see many people here. Go south or east, and you can see it. After killing her, her face The facial features will disappear, and become pink and hairy, similar to a newborn piglet." You Qi, surnamed Feng, seemed to see that he was interested in these things, so he said casually, "Besides, we see a lot of them here. On the contrary, it is a kind of horse-stealing boy who is not as tall as half a person. He likes to steal horses the most. No matter how good a military horse is, it will immediately collapse if touched by it. I drank all the blood, there was no movement during the whole process, and then ran away again, which is hard to guard against."

The three-flowered cat was very nervous, and stretched its neck involuntarily, aiming at the crouching bay red horse beside it.

You Qi, surnamed Feng, didn't pay attention to the cat's movements. He smiled and said, "But this thing is afraid of geese. As long as you put a goose by its side, it won't dare to come."

"It's amazing."

Song You said this, and then asked again: "I passed through the grassland before, and I heard that the Saibei people went south this time because of the help of demons, but as far as I know, demons have not participated in the country-to-country conflict for many years. Even if the world was in chaos in the last years of the previous dynasty, and monsters were everywhere, it was just causing chaos, and did not help anyone, I don’t know why this time?”

"This little one doesn't know about it." Feng Youqi said, "Maybe the adults in the army will know about it."

"I heard..." Another big man with a beard who was also holding a long gun beside Feng Youqi said, lowering his voice, "These demons seem to have come out of the original Zhaoye City."

"Zhaoye City?"

"I just heard about it." The bearded man said, "I'm not sure."

"That's it."

"Sir, would you like to go to Zhaoye City for supplies?" Feng Youqi asked, "If you go to Zhaoye City, ask my general, maybe he will know."

"Originally, I was planning to go to Zhaoye City because of my reputation. Since I heard from several people that General Chen is so eager to invite me to Yuanzhi City, I should go to Yuanzhi City first. I am going slowly, if Going to Zhaoye City again may delay things." Song You smiled and said to them, "If you have time later, come back again and take a look at the famous Zhaoye City."

"Mr. Benyi."

"I wonder if you have heard of Liaoxin Pass?" Song You happened to ask them about Liaoxin Pass.

"Of course I have."

"Is the guard of Liaoxin Pass surnamed Ban?"

"General Ban..."

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's wrong?"

Song You asked them in front of the firelight.

"It's nothing. General Ban is also a rare and fierce general. Otherwise, he would not have given the position of Liaoxin Pass to guard. It's just that Liaoxin Pass has been lost some time ago. I heard that General Ban was also killed."

"It is said that General Ban has something to do with our Long Spear School..."

"Sir, do you know General Ban?"

Everyone spoke with each other.

"I met a friend on the road. The eldest son of the friend was stationed at Liaoxin Pass and belonged to General Ban." Song You said calmly, "When I met you, I seemed to be well-informed, so I just asked."

"That's probably gone..."

"I heard that the Liaoxin Pass is also an important position. The Saibei people fought for a long time and failed to take down this time. It is said that General Ban also has a fine cavalry under his command, which is very brave. It is because of them that even a small group of Saibei people went south He also failed many times to attack the grain road, and he didn't dare to detour. Before that, General Ban cooperated with Ranger General Li Haoran to annihilate the elite of Zuo Wolf King. Unfortunately, three months ago, it seemed that the Saibei people had demons infiltrating the city , I brought the disease with me, and I heard that seven out of ten of the defenders in the city were infected with the disease, and they were defeated without a fight. Fortunately, General Li responded in a timely manner, so that no greater consequences were caused."

"However, when General Chen regains Liaoxin City again, it will already be an empty city."

"I also heard that Saibei people planted all the corpses outside the city. I don't know what eaten most of them. Those in the army are used to killing people. They dare not look at them when they see them."

"The eldest son of Mr.'s friend is probably gone..."

"I've heard that the plague was brought from Hezhou by Saibei people somehow. Isn't Hezhou plagued by plague now!"

"I haven't heard that the defenders in the city are alive."

Everyone still answered with your own words.

Although the Taoist had already expected it, but after it was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel regretful.

Then I continued to light the fire, took out beef jerky and milk jerky to share with them, and chatted with them for a while about the battle situation in the north, the confrontation and competition between each other, and then fell asleep against the starry sky.
