In the Blade

After finishing the work at hand, Du Chengfeng took advantage of the night to fly to Jishui Town.

The main reason why he didn't go there during the day was that it was not easy to see people in this body. The previous time was an emergency, and he didn't think too much about saving people, but now...

He still had some shame.

Think about it, when he landed again in this iron man's posture, the people shouted the name of Taibaixing, reciting his deeds loudly, and gave him some new nicknames - indeed, maybe some people do enjoy this kind of scene, but Du Chengfeng really can't stand it.

Although he has no problem communicating with acquaintances on weekdays, he is actually a more introverted person.

Compared with this kind of embarrassment in public, he would rather kill ten more Jishui River Gods.

What's more, he still has a concern in his heart that is not easy to say.

"This ghost, can't it be about me?"

Du Chengfeng in mid-air overlooked the construction site under his feet and began to scratch his head.

In order to experience the use of the so-called incense and vows, he accidentally used the technique of scattering beans to make soldiers. Although he simply scattered the leftover fried soybeans, the soybeans with the power of vows did complete all the water diversion channels in less than one night.

In addition to the wide and thick dam he cut with a knife, the management of the Jishui River seemed to have been completed.

"This incense and vows can actually do this!"

This was the first thought that came to Du Chengfeng's mind at that time.

You know, he didn't even do anything, just scattered some beans and swung a knife. This was not even a small test, it could only be said to be a wave of his hand.

For the first time, Du Chengfeng personally realized that this power could be so powerful.

As for the second thought...

"Did I go a little too far?"

Yes, not just a little, but too far. These things should have been done by the local people, but he did everything in half a night - indeed, in terms of the result, it might be a good thing, but from the process...

"Did I steal their experience?"

He still remembered the wish power he felt before. Although the people were indeed chanting the so-called Taibai Star, they did not have the idea of ​​relying on him, but decided to be self-reliant and change the Jishui River and their lives through their own efforts.

And now, the water conservancy facilities built overnight have directly wiped out the space for the people to work hard.

"Or... Hey."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng simply swung his sword again.

The dam, which was already as solid as a rock, collapsed in an instant.

This was the solution Du Chengfeng thought of at the time.

Since it has been overdone, just demolish it. It won't take much effort for him anyway. For the people of Jishui Town, it's not even a bad thing. Anyway, they have to rely on their own efforts to repair these water conservancy facilities.

"In this process, you will understand the operation process and become familiar with the methods of water control... and more importantly, you will start to cooperate with each other, trust each other, and gradually realize that you can really do something and change your life."

After doing all this, Du Chengfeng looked at Jishui Town in the distance. He felt that he had done something meaningful.

However, the more sense of accomplishment he had at that time, the more numb he is now.

"It can't be said that I did it too roughly when I demolished it, so they saw it?"

Thinking of the so-called "haunted" during the day, Du Chengfeng had a toothache. If you really want to say what can happen by the Jishui River, it's probably just this degree-suddenly found that the place you want to dig has been dug by others, and the place where you want to pile stones has already had other debris. This kind of thing is a bit scary no matter how you think about it.

"But if we need to deal with it... there's nothing we can do."

Du Chengfeng looked at the construction site under his feet and scratched his head even more.

After the people had been busy all day, the construction site was no longer the same as what he had seen before. The traces he had left before had long been covered by the fruits of the people's labor. Even if he wanted to clean up and finish it in detail, he would have to dismantle all these things first.

People had been busy all day, but he came to dismantle them in the middle of the night just because of a mere word of haunting. Isn't this a bit too rude?

Or just leave it alone, anyway, the matter has passed...

"Ghost ah ah ah ah!!!"

Just as Du Chengfeng flew into the air and was about to leave, a shrill scream suddenly broke the silent night sky.

The source of the sound...

"In the direction of Jishui Town!"

Du Chengfeng immediately flew towards the location where the sound came from.

"So this haunted thing is not talking about me?"

Du Chengfeng was a little confused. If this haunted thing is not talking about him, then who is it talking about?

If it is not him...

Then he is a little curious.

He is a little curious, but the people in Jishui Town are terrified. Obviously, their lives have gradually improved. Seeing that the flooded Jishui River is about to be controlled, everything is thriving, and the future looks so beautiful.

However, just when everyone was busy all day and prepared to have a good sleep so that they can work more energetically the next day, they were awakened by the sound of weapons.

"Who is coming? Bandits or rebels?"

The common people who were awakened from their sleep quickly blocked the door and then looked outside through the gaps in the windows.

In this age of war and chaos, this is considered a necessary survival skill for the common people. Although the gate may not be able to stop the rebels, blocking the gate can give them a little sense of peace of mind.

What if those bandits thought they couldn't get in and retreated? What if the rebels stopped fighting because they thought it was troublesome? If you can do something, always do something. This will at least increase your chances of survival.

What these people didn't expect was that there was nothing on the street outside the window.

But this is not a good thing.

Just because the sound of those soldiers and armors still hasn't stopped.

They could clearly hear the friction of armor, the collision of weapons, and even the sound of heavy footsteps.

But there was nothing in their sight.

"The Yin soldiers...it's the Yin soldiers who took advantage of it!"

The frightened people immediately thought of this possibility.

This is a more terrifying existence than bandits and rioters. After all, bandits and rioters only want to rob things. If they rob enough, the people may still have a chance to survive - but the Yin soldiers are completely different.

These Yin soldiers are the ghosts of those who died in battle. They don't need food, drink or property. They only kill people and make living people look like them.

In those legends, as long as you are involved, there is only death!

So the problem lies here.

Doesn't this kind of thing where Yin soldiers take advantage of others only exist in those country tales and ghost stories?

How could something like this really happen?

"Don't make a sound! Don't make a sound!"

In an old private house, Zhao Laoer held down his family members while he also held his breath and concentrated.

At this time, no one can say anything. If they attract the attention of those Yin soldiers, they will be dead. Fortunately, those rural ghost stories also mentioned this situation. As long as they are not noticed by these Yin soldiers, If they arrive, then these underworld soldiers will not pay attention to them.

This is why this situation is called "Yin soldiers borrowing the way", just because these Yin soldiers are just passing by, and the affairs of the Yang world have nothing to do with them, and they are too lazy to take care of it.

Only this time, there are some exceptions.

When he saw the phantom of the soldier with his face covered in blood passing through the blocked wooden door, Zhao Laoer's mind went blank.

He never imagined that this evil soldier would actually break into the house. It was obvious that he, his wife, children and the young had not made any sound. In order to ensure absolute silence, they even held their breath.

But now, there are still dark soldiers entering the house.

And just looking at the opponent's stance holding up the spear... This is not an excuse, this is clearly aimed at him!

"Don't kill me! Please! Master Yin Bing! Don't kill me!"

Protecting his wife, children, and children behind him, Zhao Laoer knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Please! I will give you whatever you want! I will offer you a memorial tablet and I will offer you incense! Don't kill me! Don't..."

"The Lord has command!"

At this time, there was a sudden burst of shouting outside.

"The general has an order! Massacre all of Jishui Town! Leave no one behind!"

"kill!!!"

Following this order, the shadowy soldier who broke into Zhao Laoer's home directly picked up his spear and thrust it out at Zhao Laoer!

The illusory spear reflected the cold air, and the cold spear edge was as good as a real weapon. Zhao Laoer was about to be stabbed through the chest with a spear, and he could not die anymore!

At this critical moment of life and death, Zhao Laoer grabbed the last life-saving straw in his arms.

"You can't kill me!"

Zhao Laoer suddenly took out the three-inch Iron Man pendant from his arms.

"Taibai Star is here! You can't kill me!"

"……ha?"

The cold spear point paused.

Immediately afterwards, the illusory soldier actually laughed out loud.

"Taibai Star? That's it?"

Looking at the vague iron man, the illusory soldier laughed harder and harder.

"What the hell? I've never heard of it. Do you think this kind of thing can protect you?"

As he said this, the cold spear pierced the iron man completely, and the precise assassination was enough to show the proficiency of this illusory soldier's martial arts.

Sen Leng's spear trend has not stopped and is about to pierce through Zhao Laoer as well.

It was at this time that Zhao Laoer suddenly saw the light.

The light was so dazzling that people couldn't help but squint their eyes. However, the light was not burning, but had a touch of warmth from the fireside. Under this warmth, Mr. Zhao Er even recalled that when he was a child, he liked to sit by the fire and roast yams while listening to the old people telling stories about the past.

It was at that time that he heard the old people say that the closer a person is to death, the more he will recall the past.

He is probably going to die too.

So why is this fire still in front of him?

He could even vaguely hear the shouts coming from the firelight...

"Ahhhhhhhh-"

The shouts in the firelight were so clear. They were clearly the arrogant illusory soldier just now. But now, the illusory soldier's body has been ignited with flames, and his whole person has been wrapped in flames!

It was at this time that Zhao Laoer remembered that the burning of flames requires fuel.

And the illusory soldiers have now become the fuel itself.

"Death ah ah ah ah -"

Even though the flames were already igniting on his body, the illusory soldier still raised his spear. Even though this was probably his last strength, the illusory soldier still tried his best to thrust the spear over.

But that makes no sense.

On the hole in the roof, the blazing sword light slashed down again.

The illusory soldier was completely cut in half, and no longer had the ability to stab. Under the burning flames, the broken body was quickly burned, as if it had never appeared. .

And the blazing flame disappeared like a phantom, without igniting anything and leaving no trace.

Everything seemed like it had never happened.

But the holes in the roof seemed to say that something had happened just now.

"It's him..."

Zhao Laoer stood up suddenly, tore away the wooden stick blocking the door, and then ran directly out of the door.

He was not the only one who did this. When he pushed the door open, he saw more people. The expressions on their faces were the same as his. It was obvious that they had all experienced something just now.

"Taibai Star! It's Taibai Star!"

I don't know who shouted like this, which made Zhao Laoer more and more convinced of his judgment - but now is no longer the time for greetings, Zhao Laoer almost instinctively raised his head and looked into the distance.

He still had too much to say, too many things to ask, he wanted to explain clearly, or he just wanted to say, thank you.

But when he raised his head, he didn't even see anyone.

There was only a silvery streak of light piercing the night sky.

Fly far away.

"Taibai Star..."

Zhao Laoer clenched the iron man in his hand tightly.

Not just him, but all the people clung to the little iron men who were used as amulets, even though the little men looked so rough.

The huge and determined mental energy was like a torrent, going all the way into the distance, entwining around the silver light that cut through the sky, and around the silver figure - but Du Chengfeng had no intention of caring about this at the moment. , anyway, this is the result he expected.

Compared with these efforts, he is more concerned about another thing at the moment.

"What's wrong with you?"

Du Chengfeng, who flew back to Datang Mountain, put his sword in his hand, then turned his head and looked at the illusory human figures beside him that were burned by the flames.

"Should you say it yourselves, or should I say it for you?"
