The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Well"

Struggling unconsciously, Hua Shan instinctively tried to escape from the darkness. After trying to open her eyes, she seemed to see such a pure starry sky for the first time.

The smell of the soil passed through the tip of her nose, and the touch of the grass did not seem to be fake. Although there were many doubts, one thing she could feel and be sure of was——

She is still alive.

"you're awake?"

It was a voice that seemed to be relieved. He turned his head slightly, and from the direction the voice came from, he could see the owner of the voice clearly through the Xingguanghua fan: "Aaron, did you save me?"

"Forget it," Wu Ye shrugged, and handed the water bag in his hand to Hua Shan: "Although I really want to celebrate now, but unfortunately, there is only one barely clean river nearby."

"Ah."

Hua Shan smiled reluctantly, took the water bag and poured it in one gulp, the overflowing clear water wetted her hair, and the drops of water shone with the clearest light under the starlight.

"Although I guessed it, I didn't expect it to be water. Even if there is no wine, is there not even a fish in the river?"

"Don't be so picky, hey, your physical condition is so bad, drink water honestly." Wu Ye would not admit that he was unprepared because he didn't know how to handle the fish he caught.

"Hey." Hua Shan smirked, took two more mouthfuls, and casually put the water bag aside, not caring about the wet hair and clothes, just lying down carelessly.

Wu Ye packed his things and couldn't help but stare at the flower fan and look at it again.

"What's wrong?" Hua Shan asked confused.

"No," Wu Ye shook his head and sighed, "Now you look like a ghost king."

"Which ghost king have you ever seen lying here like a dead fish?" Hua Shan replied angrily, and then realized something was wrong in the words: "Wait a minute, when did I become the ghost king? Cuixiang wants to pick someone up?"

"Ah, a slip of the tongue." Wu Ye was stunned, and then casually dismissed it, he almost forgot that in this era, there are no Four Heavenly Kings of the Ghost Clan, but only a Ghost King Shuten Doji.

Looking away without any trace, Wu Ye asked casually: "From your tone, you are very familiar with Cuixiang?"

Glancing at Wu Ye intentionally or unintentionally, Hua Shan said calmly: "Your tone doesn't sound like someone I just met."

"." Wu Ye choked on his words and secretly sighed that he was too careless: "Well, my personality is just like this."

Hua Shan stared at Wuya for a long time, until the other party felt a little uncomfortable and then slowly looked away: "Just treat it like this."

"Actually, it's nothing." Looking at the stars in the sky, Hua Shan put his hands behind his head and said in a story-telling tone: "Cuixiang and I are friends, and we have known each other for a long time."

"I guessed it. After all, you can all call each other by name. Oh, by the way, you also know that Hong Yousanhe?"

"Hong Yousan?"

"Beside Miss Cuixiang, the one with a big red horn growing on her head."

"You're talking about Yongyi," Hua Fan couldn't help bursting into laughter: "If that guy knows that you actually gave her such a strange title, I don't know what she will think."

"Whatever she thinks is fine." Wu Ye doesn't care, the relationship between him and Yong Yi is close to being hammered, and no matter how bad it is, it won't go anywhere.

"Yongyi and I are also friends. That guy's straightforward personality is her strength in our opinion, but in your opinion, maybe it's not easy to get along with?"

Hua Shan's guess is very accurate, Yongyi's character is straightforward when it sounds good, but it's too irascible when it's not good enough.

Although I heard the other party say it personally, Wu Ye still can't imagine that Cuixiang is an alcoholic and drinks for half a day. Yongyi with a baseball bat is a bad example. As for Huashan, this guy is not like a ghost at all. .

I don't think these three guys can be friends at all.

"I heard that you had a fight with Yongyi before?"

"Eh?" Wu Ye was taken aback by Hua Shan's sudden mention of the old story, and then said a little awkwardly, "Actually, it was a misunderstanding."

"If you feel the need, I can apologize to you on behalf of Yongyi." When Hua Shan said this, there was a stubborn seriousness in his eyes.

".That's not necessary." Wu Ye really didn't expect Hua Shan's attitude towards this matter to be so formal.

Hua Fan chuckled: "With Yongyi's character, it is absolutely impossible for her to bow her head to you even if the world turns upside down."

"What about you?" Wu didn't understand, "You're also a ghost, right?"

"Yes." Hua Shan pointed to the horns on his head.

"Then you are willing to bow your head so easily?" In Wu Ye's cognition, the ghost clan is a group of people who like to flip the table at every turn. If they apologize in a low voice, it is really impossible to turn the world around.

"I've said it all, I'm replacing Yongyi. If it's me, then I'm definitely not unwilling." Hua Shan smiled indifferently.

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course. After all, Yongyi is one of the few friends I have. It's just a matter of bowing down for her. It's not a big deal."

The chilly evening wind blew Hua Fan's bangs, the pair of red eyes had already lost their unruly color, leaving only the loneliness full of loneliness.

"There are not many left, and I don't want to lose anyone after that war."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent. In the quiet night, not even the chirping of insects could be heard around him. Takeru knew that he had stirred up a bad topic, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak anymore.

"Actually, I didn't agree to participate in this war at the beginning." Hua Shan changed his mind and talked about something else: "It's just because Suixiang owes Yakumo Murasaki a favor, so we are here. .”

"You all seem to respect Miss Cuixiang?"

"Of course, Cuixiang is the ghost king."

"Ghost King." These words brought back the doubts that Wu Ye had buried in his heart for many years: "By the way, how is the Ghost King selected? Who is more powerful?"

"The ghost clan does admire power, but the ghost king is different from ordinary ghosts. Strength is not the most important thing. Even so, you should also know how powerful Cuixiang is. I'm afraid there is no ghost more powerful than her in this world. gone."

"Sure enough." Wu Ye consciously imagined the scene of a group of ghosts gathering together to fight in the ring.

"But since she is a king, of course she must be distinguished from ordinary ghosts. Cuixiang is recognized by all ghosts, so she is the unique ghost king."

"Really? Miss Cuixiang has such a high reputation?" Wu also had a hard time imagining that Cuixiang's appearance as a drunk would be recognized by so many ghosts.

"That's not true, it's just that all the ghosts who opposed her are dead." Hua Shan revealed the frightening fact abruptly.

"." There was a chill behind Wu Ye for no reason, that drunken young girl usually couldn't tell that her methods were so cruel?

"It's not what you think." Although she couldn't see Takeya's expression, she roughly guessed what the other party was thinking from her small movements. She added with a little dissatisfaction: "Those ghosts who oppose Suixiang are in the war. Dead, and human.”

"Isn't it?!" Wu Ye opened his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief.

Even if Cuixiang is really popular and 99% of the ghosts support her, the remaining 1% is enough for humans to bear. She can't remember any time in history when humans were so strong. The only one who can guess is Qingming, but this guy is only in his teens now, unless Cuixiang became the ghost king only recently.

But that's not the case at all according to Hua Shan.

"About two hundred years ago, the expanding ghost tribe chose to attack Kyoto in order to gain more territory. At that time, we all believed that this war was inevitable. Unfortunately, we lost, and it was a miserable defeat."

Hua Shan's tone was very desolate, as if he still remembered the tragic situation at that time: "The ghost tribe that besieged Kyoto was out of ten. If Suixiang hadn't fought to the death and allowed us to escape, I'm afraid the ghost tribe would have been removed from the monsters long ago. However, Even if a trace of vitality is preserved, the decline of the ghost clan is inevitable."

Wu Ye never imagined that the decline of the ghost clan was actually caused by the war with humans, and he always thought it was caused by other monsters.

"The ghost tribe has never been afraid of war. Death in battle is a natural destination for the ghost tribe. But that time was different. It was not a war, but a massacre."

"Slaughter, massacre?" People massacre ghosts? Wu Ya couldn't believe this, but Hua Shan couldn't tease him about this kind of thing, so...

"Who the hell...?"

"You should have heard of that person's name, Aaron. No, as long as it's a monster, I'm afraid there's no one who doesn't know it. The Great Master of the West is famous for his ability to cure monsters."

Wu Ye, who was already shocked to the point of speechlessness, did not expect that more shocking facts would come later.

"After the Battle of Kyoto, the ghost tribe was completely defeated, but there were not many humans left living in it, huh——"

Speaking of this, Hua Shan said angrily: "What kind of Archmage, that sanctimonious executioner? Those stupid humans thought it was us ghosts who invaded Kyoto to kill those humans, but they had no idea that killing those humans was exactly what they thought." The Great Master Xixing who defeated the ghosts!"

"What did you say."

"Aaron, why do you think we didn't attack Kyoto directly after gathering such a powerful monster army? Is it just because Yakumo Murasaki, as the leader, doesn't allow it? Hey, that's not the case! It's because there is 'that' in Kyoto!"

Hua Shan's face was cold, with boundless anger and a trace of undeniable fear in his eyes: "There is a cherry blossom tree that existed many years ago in the Saigon House in Kyoto. That is what we are really afraid of! Because that He is a true and out-and-out monster!”

"When this cherry blossom tree is in full bloom, it will kill all living things around it. Whether it is humans or monsters, they are all the same and vulnerable in front of it! It doesn't matter whether it is strong or weak, it will be equal The earth gives the same death to all.”

"It kills all living things around it indiscriminately. It's ironic to call such a thing a holy object, but the executioner seems to know this, so he gave it such a very appropriate name -"

"Western Goblin!!"

"."
