Woke up and found myself a legend

Chapter 164

Tao Yu glanced at the mayor and the others, pulled Fan Hongxi's hand, jumped down the city wall, and landed lightly in front of the green-maned flowing cloud horse.Huiling raised her hand and asked, "How is the situation in Xingqing Town?"

Tao Yu said casually, "We're going to that Yongchang Village now."

When Qingsong and the others rushed back from the vicinity, the Qingmane Liuyunma raised its hooves and galloped towards Yongchang Village.

Yongchang Village was not too far from Xingqing Town, and Tao Yu's spiritual consciousness quickly spread past. He glanced at Fan Hongxi, who had a calm face, and did not speak.

"Yu Yu Yu Yu..."

The carriage that was running smoothly suddenly stopped suddenly, shook violently a few times, and was forcibly reined in and stopped.

"what!"

"Brother Qingsong, what's going on?"

Tao Yu, Fan Hongxi, and Hui Ling sat as firmly as Mount Tai, while the others were staggered by the sudden inertia.

Before Fan Hongxi opened his mouth to ask, Qingsong who was sitting in front of the frame lifted the curtain and said in a depressed voice, "My lord, we are late... Yongle Village has already..."

The stone tablet standing in front of the village was scorched black, and the words "Yongle Village" were faintly visible in the black ash.Behind the stele are ruins, wooden and thatched houses have collapsed, and the fire is burning on them.Countless dead bodies stared wide-eyed, and fell on the road and ruins together with broken limbs. Dried blood was splashed everywhere, and the eyes were dark red.

The ghost soldier holding the blood-stained butcher knife has disappeared without a trace, perhaps looking for the next target of massacre.

They looked at the slaughtered village in silence, Fan Hongxi closed his eyes gently, Qingsong and the others showed their faces, Huiling twirled the rosary, and whispered the mantra of rebirth.Tao Yu swept his eyes across the dark red, and looked up somewhere in the village.

Accompanied by a barely audible click, a light and somewhat vague female voice sounded: "Ah, Fan Hongxi, it's you, we meet again!"

Fan Hongxi looked up, and saw a big tree in the village that was splashed with dark red blood. A bone sunflower covered in bones was sitting on the tree dangling its calves, holding a candied haws in its mouth, and was holding up a bright red Candied haws smiled and waved at them.

Qing Yu said unexpectedly: "Gu Kui? Why are you here?"

Gu Kui jumped down from the big tree, tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Guess."

Fan Hongxi looked into the ruins of the village, and Tao Yu also stared at Gu Kui with folded arms, and said, "Not only her, but also those two other humans."

As soon as Tao Yu finished speaking, there were indeed two figures walking out of the sea of ​​flames in the ruins, they were Gu Hua and Gu Lian.

The two of them calmly walked through the path splattered with blood and corpses, Gu Kui turned around to look at Gu Hua and the others, smiled and waved, and snapped off the last candied haws on the bamboo stick.

Fan Hongxi smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "You three, we meet again."

Gu Hua still looked indifferent, Gu Lian looked a little surprised, she raised her hand to curl the black hair on her chest, curled her mouth, and said with a light smile: "I didn't expect to meet a few more people, and brought a...monk?"

Huiling calmly raised her right hand in a salute, and said peacefully, "Little Monk Huiling, I have seen three monks."

Gukui stared at Huiling for a moment, then said with a smile, "My name is Gukui, and your bones are quite beautiful."

Gu Hua only said her name lightly, Gu Lian turned her head and said lazily, "Gu Lian."

Tao Yu asked, "What are you doing here? Are you here to pick up bones again?"

Gu Hua said lightly: "Senior can be here, why can't we be here?"

Tao Yu raised his eyebrows, Fan Hongxi sighed, and said, "I came here with Brother Huiling to support Yongchang Village and repel the ghost soldiers, but it's a pity..."

Upon hearing Fan Hongxi's words, Gu Hua raised his eyelids, and Gu Kui asked in surprise, "Do you call those ghosts ghost soldiers?"

Fan Hongxi smiled and said: "That's right, what do you guys know about ghost soldiers?"

Gu Hua said lightly: "We don't know much, it seems that this time, our goals are quite similar."

Even so, the three of Gu Hua still did not reveal their purpose.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some movement in the village. Fan Hongxi's eyes fell on those corpses, and Tao Yu also stared at the corpses all over the ground, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The three of Gu Hua turned around and looked towards the village, whispering, "It's coming."

I saw a layer of translucent things slowly emerging from the corpses all over the ground, as if they were about to emerge.

In the blink of an eye, a translucent arm stretched out from a corpse, struggling to emerge.

Qingshuang asked in surprise: "This is... a ghost soldier?"

Although Tao Yu and the others knew that new ghost soldiers would emerge from the corpses killed by ghost soldiers, this was the first time they had seen this scene with their own eyes.

Huiling frowned, scolded softly, and threw out the rosary in her hand again.The string of rosary beads exploded again in mid-air, turning into huge round beads that continuously spun and emitted golden light.Huiling's expression was solemn, and the sound of Buddha's gatha was like thunder on the ground. The ghost soldiers who were still in the corpses froze, and slowly lost their strength under the golden light, turning into white light and dissipating.

Gu Kui said in surprise: "Your bones are so beautiful, you really have some strength."

Under the golden light, the ghost soldiers who were about to break free from the corpses all disappeared. Huiling waved back the rosary, raised her right hand in a salute, and said softly: "Now there are still many souls who have not been rescued here, please allow me The little monk recited sutras for them and passed away.”

The desolate and fiery wind blows, and the fiery tongue spews in the wind. Huiling ignores the jumping flames around and the dark blood clots splashed on the ground, quietly and indifferently sits cross-legged in the center of the village path and closes his eyes. There was fire, and a layer of compassionate light shrouded it.

From time to time, a shining white light would break away from a certain corpse in the village, float into the air and disappear.

The flame fluttered in the wind, and was extinguished by the monks on the city wall with concerted efforts. It turned into thick black smoke billowing up, and then floated in the air and slowly dissipated, revealing the words Xingqing Town that had been blackened on the city wall.

One of the monks breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw a carriage galloping from the direction of Yongchang Village.

"Those monks are back! Go and notify the mayor!"

Gu Kui opened the door of the carriage, looked up at Xingqing Town, and asked with bright eyes, "Will there be candied haws in that city?"

Tao Yu leaned lazily on Fan Hongxi's shoulder, while Fan Hongxi said calmly, "Now that Xingqing Town is in the midst of a war with ghost soldiers, I'm afraid there are no candied haws for sale."

Huiling chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, Gukui let out a long "ah—" and said with a pursed mouth, "I'm going to eat up everything in my storage ring."

Gu Lian said: "I can't help it now, let's go to Dacheng to buy it later."

Gu Hua patted Gu Kui on the head, and said flatly: "Be patient for now."

Qingyu hugged Xiaokong, and whispered, "I like candied haws so much."

Gu Kui smiled and said, "Of course, candied haws are red, and when you bite into them, they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sour and sweet. Ah, if I have to use a metaphor, the taste is probably the same as that of a human head, which is hard on the outside and soft on the inside."

The bone sunflower metaphor successfully made Qing Yu and Hu Le shudder.

Without raising his head, Tao Yu said lazily, "No, the skull is much harder than the syrup of candied haws."

Gu Kui tilted his head in thought, and took out a pale human skull from the storage ring.She held up the skull, looked at the dark eye sockets, gently pressed the skull cover, and said softly: "It is indeed."

As soon as the green-maned Liuyun horse approached the gate of Xingqing Town, some monks opened the bumpy gate first and waved at them.

The mayor walked slowly to the gate of the city. When he saw Tao Yu and the others returning with only one carriage, his pale face couldn't help turning paler, and his tightly clenched fists loosened.

Tao Yu, Fan Hongxi and the others got out of the carriage. Fan Hongxi was silent for a moment to the mayor's face as white as paper, and lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Sorry, we were a step late..."

The mayor flickered, and then quickly regained his footing.He took a deep breath, and said wearily: "It's not your fault, it's us... I'm too weak, I almost couldn't hold Xingqing Town..."

The three of Guhua got off the carriage, and Gukui looked at the town curiously from the city gate. A Jindan monk beside the mayor looked at the three of Guhua who were dressed strangely, and asked suspiciously and vigilantly: " Who are these?"

Fan Hongxi introduced: "These monks met near Yongchang Village, and they also came to help repel the ghost soldiers."

Hearing this, the Golden Core cultivator who asked about it relaxed a bit: "I see, I'm sorry."

As the sky gradually turned dark, the mayor said: "You guys are running around one after another. We have already prepared rooms for you in the best inn in the town. Jiang Rong will take a few of you to the inn."

Fan Hongxi smiled peacefully, shook his head and said, "The rest of the small towns also asked for help from Xiyang City, and we still need to rush to help."

The mayor said: "The ghost soldiers at night will temporarily lose their direction and wander in the wilderness. If they are out at night, they are likely to be surrounded by wandering ghost soldiers. However, the siege at night is much weaker than during the day. It also gave us some room to breathe. Xingqing Town is located in the center of nearby towns, so it’s not too late for everyone to go tomorrow.”

Tao Yu sneered disdainfully, what can those ghost soldiers like defeated generals do to him?

Fan Hongxi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Thank you, please trouble the mayor." Huiling also smiled and raised her right hand to salute the mayor.

The mayor shook his head, waved away the Golden Core cultivator beside him who wanted to help him, turned around and walked into the city in silence.

Jiang Rong is a monk with a seventh-floor foundation. He led Tao Yu and his party into the city, and happily said to them: "I really thank you sirs earlier. If you hadn't arrived in time, the mayor may... maybe Even Xingqing Town will be invaded by ghost soldiers! It was really critical at that time, but luckily the loss was not too big..."

There were crying sounds along the wind whimpering, heart-piercing.Fan Hongxi paused, looked sideways, and saw that there seemed to be many bloody and hideous corpses piled high on the side of the city wall. Outside the pile of corpses, there were many people wearing white cloths, breaking down and crying.

Jiang Rong noticed their gaze, and his tone was low: "These are the soldiers who died today, and their bodies will be burned later, so that we can suppress the birth of ghost soldiers as much as possible..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Kui murmured in a low voice, "That's too rough..."

"Amitabha." Huiling raised his hand in a salute, and said softly, "Friar Jiang Rong, can I ask the little monk to recite the mantra for them?"

Qingyu with Xiaokong on his head heard it, and immediately said: "Yes, Master Huiling can save souls, if you ask him to read the scriptures, maybe those corpses will not give birth to ghost soldiers."
