Right at this moment, the strange sound of a bell could be heard.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!" Three bells echoed loudly. Hearing that, Xie Lian's head was immediately covered with dizziness. He asked, "What happened?"
When he surveyed his surroundings again, all the brides swayed before falling to the ground. Only their arms were still raised, pointing towards the sky. Villagers also fell and did not rise again. It was as if they had all lost consciousness from the echoes of the clock bells that broke the ears.
Xie Lian also felt a little dizzy. With one hand on his forehead massaging softly, he forced himself to stand up, only to force his legs to weaken before he fell again half-kneeling on the ground. Luckily, someone supports it. When he raised his head to see who, he found out it was Nan Feng.
Apparently, after seven brides entered the forest, they had spread in different directions. Nan Feng basically had to explore the entire mountain to catch them all and just returned. Seeing his calm demeanor, Xie Lian immediately asked, "What's wrong with the bell?"
Nan Feng said to him, "No need to worry, they are reinforcements coming."
Following his line of sight, Xie Lian suddenly discovered that an army had appeared in front of the Ming Guang Temple.
This series of soldiers all wore armor, glowing in divine power because a very strong aura emanated from them. At the very front stood a tall, handsome young general. It's clear he's not an ordinary person. The general walked with his hands clasped behind his back. Once he was in front of Xie Lian, he bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Before Xie Lian was even able to open his mouth to ask, Nan Feng said in a low voice, "This is General Pei."
Xie Lian immediately glanced at Xuan Ji who was on the ground, and repeated, "General Pei?"
This General Pei is not what he imagined, nor does it resemble the statue of his God. The statue of the god developed with an aura of heroism, while his face was filled with arrogance. That is a type of good and invasive good looks. Meanwhile, although this young general was also quite handsome, his appearance was fair, while his face looked as peaceful as cold jade. There was no intention of killing, and full of undisturbed calm. You can say he is a general, but it would not be strange if he somehow claimed he was the minister who formulated the strategy.
General Pei saw Xuan Ji on the ground and spoke, "Ling Wen Palace Hall told us that the situation of Mount Yu Jun is somewhat related to us from Ming Guang Palace, so this subordinate hurried. I do not expect that it really has a rather deep relationship with us. For your problems, you have my gratitude, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Lian thanked Ling Wen in his heart. In what way did the efficiency of Ling Wen Palace decrease ??" I also thank you for your hardships, General Pei. "
But when Xuan Ji, in his struggle, vaguely heard the words "General Pei ", he suddenly raised his head and shouted," Pei Lang, Pei Lang! Is that you, have you come? Are you finally coming"
After being bound by Ruoye, no matter how wild he was with joy, he could only obediently kneel, unable to move. But who would have thought he would see the General, only to turn pale on his face." Who are you ?!"
On Xie Lian's side, he gave Nan Feng a summary of what the situation was with the groom's ghost. When he heard his question, he asked, "Isn't this General Pei? Has he waited so long that he cannot recognize the face of his loved one again?"
Nan Feng replied, "He is General Pei. But this is not what he is waiting for. -Wait."
Xie Lian felt strange. "Don't tell me that there are two General Pei?"
Nan Feng replied, "That's right, there really are two!"
It turned out that General Pei, who was awaited by Xuan Ji's female ghost, was the main deity of the Ming Guang Temple, while the one before them was the god's representative. He is also someone of the successor to General Pei's family. To distinguish them when they were called, everyone called this "Little General Pei". In the proper Ming Guang Temple, it is necessary to honor them with a set of positive and upside down moon blocks*
* Something commonly used in temples and shrines, especially when someone wants a reward from the god they worship. this is more figurative
General Pei is the main deity of the temple, so the statue of the Goddess faces the temple door. A statue of the god General Pei was placed behind him. However, even though one came from the previous generation and the other from the next generation, they looked as though they were brothers. But for two people from the same family to ride, it can be considered a very strange story that captures one's imagination.
Xuan Ji looked around but still did not find the person he wanted to see among the soldiers. He gloomily asked, "Where is Pei Ming? Why isn't he coming? Why isn't he coming to see me?"
Little General Pei nodded slightly, answered, "General Pei is busy with important matters."
Xuan Ji muttered, "An important matter?"
Under his long hair, tears began to fall when he said, "I have been waiting for him for centuries, what important thing does he have? Exceeding me? At that time, to meet me, he would be willing to cross half the border in one night, just to see me, so what important thing does he have now? It's very important that he won't even want to see me even once? An important problem? He doesn't really have it, right? "
Little Pei said,"General Xuan Ji , hope in your way. "
*literally. What he meant was basically telling Xuan Ji to stop his struggle and cooperate with his capture.
Two Ming Guang Temple soldiers broke the formation and walked. Ruoye quickly jumped from Xuan Ji and wrapped around Xie Lian's wrist lovingly. Xie Lian gently tapped him twice to calm him down.
Xuan Ji allowed the two soldiers to catch him as he knelt there in confusion. Then, suddenly, he began to struggle, pointing towards the sky as he cursed, "Pei Ming! I curse you!"
His scream was very sharp. Xie Lian stared blankly before he thought, "Isn't this a curse to his predecessor when he was in front of his successor?"
But the little General Pei continued to put on a straight face and said, "Please forgive this scene."
Xuan Ji kept shouting hoarsely, "I curse you, you better never fall in love with anyone. If not, if such a day comes, I curse you to be like me, forever and ever, for continually scorched by love! Let the fire burn your whole body and your being! "
At this time, little General Pei said to Xie Lian and the others, "Forgive my rudeness and wait a moment." He raised two fingers and lightly pressed them to his temples. This movement was what was meant to activate the spirit communication array, so he had to communicate with someone. After a while, he took out "hmmm", lowered his hands and returned them behind his back. He turned towards Xuan Ji and said, "General Pei wants me to deliver a message - 'That's impossible."
Xuan Ji cried, "I curse you - !!!"
Little General Pei slightly raised his hand, and ordered, "Take him away."
Two soldiers took the troubled Xuan Ji and dragged him away. Xie Lian asked, "Little General Pei, may I ask, how will Xuan Ji be handled?"
The little General Pei replied, "He will be detained under the mountain."
Finding mountains to hold them in, this is indeed a method often used by the heavens to deal with demons and ghosts. After muttering to himself, Xie Lian still said, "General Xuan Ji's hatred is rather severe. Because he kept thinking about hatred for committing treason against his kingdom and how his leg was broken because of General Pei, I was worried that suppressing him would not last long."
Little General Pei tilted his head, and said, "He said he committed treason and the one who broke his leg was General Pei?"
Xie Lian replied, "He did say earlier, that it was because of General Pei that he ended up in his current state. For what exactly, I don't know."
General Little Pei spoke, "If it has to be said that way, then of course. It is true that he committed treason for General Pei. But the details may differ from what others thought. After he and General Pei separated, to urge him to stay, General "Xuan Ji did not hesitate to offer military intelligence. However, General Pei did not want to accept this unfair advantage and did not accept his offer."
Xie Lian would never think that he, 'I betrayed my country for you', is actually like this. He asked, "Then when he said his leg was broken because of General Pei?"
Little General Pei replied, "He broke his own leg."
He broke it himself?
General Little Pei replied, flatly and unshakeably, "General Pei does not like women who are strong-minded, and Xuan Ji's natural disposition is strong-willed. This is why they cannot stay together for long. General Xuan Ji does not want to let him go, so he told the General Pei that he is willing to sacrifice and change himself.Thus, he voluntarily removes his martial arts and breaks his legs.This way, he does the same thing by destroying his two wings and binding himself on General Pei.In spite of all this, General Pei did not leave him, he took him and cared for him, but he still would not take him as his wife, because General Xuan Ji's long hopes that he could not fulfill, he committed suicide in hatred, not for other reasons, but only to make General Pei feel sad for his loss and offense. But, I'm sorry for speaking out frankly- "
General's Speech Little Pei is rather delicate and polite from beginning to end. With an overly calm expression he said, "But that won't happen."
Xie Lian rubbed his forehead. He didn't speak loudly, but he thought, "Just what kind of people are they?"
Little General Pei spoke again, "Because who is right or wrong, I don't know either. I only know that if General Xuan Ji was initially willing to let him go, it would not end like this. Your Highness the Crown Prince, this subordinate will say goodbye."
Lian returned the greeting of little General Pei by uniting his fists with his palms, saluting him and watching them leave. Nan Feng gave his personal evaluation, "A freak."
Xie Lian thought to herself, she herself was also a laughing stock in three realms, a famous freak, that was not the place to criticize others. Regarding the problems between General Pei and Xuan Ji, unless someone is directly involved, it's better not to comment on who is right or wrong. He could only feel sorry for the seventeen innocent brides, military officials and drivers who escorted them. It was truly an unexpected disaster.
Speaking of brides, he immediately turned around to look, only to find that the bodies of seventeen brides all showed different stages of change. While some turn into white bones, others begin to rot and give off a strong, strong stench. Its great smell can wake everyone on the ground. The smell woke everyone on the ground. As the villagers slowly came to their senses and understood the situation, it was another very surprising and surprising round.
Xie Lian took this opportunity to ramble on and spread some doctrines about the retribution of good and bad karma. He told everyone that once they went down the mountain, they had to pray a lot for the bride. In addition, they should try to think of ways to notify the bride's family so that their bodies can be taken. They certainly don't have to do anything shady like selling corpses or doing other shameful acts.
After having such a thrilling night, and without a leader who caused trouble, how could anyone who listens dare say the opposite? One by one, they all agreed while trembling in fear. They all felt as though they had all experienced the whole nightmare. Only then did they realize how they all acted as if they were possessed last night. With so many people dying, how could they only have a mind full of making money?
Thinking back, they all felt afraid of themselves. Last night, because everyone did it, they depended on the fact that they were large in number and that there was someone who led. Thus, their slum-headed cells rushed with the flow. But now, still with fear lingering in their hearts, it is best to obediently repent and pray for its blessings.
Dawn is not yet published. Inside the mountain, there was still a group of wolves waiting to cause trouble. Nan Feng had just run around the mountain, but he had been assigned to lead the large group. Apart from that, he made no complaints, and agreed with Xie Lian to discuss the forest of dead bodies from the hanging mountain people and the arrangements regarding the follow-up would later be considered.
After the wrapped teenager woke up, he sat once again near Xiao Ying's corpse, hugging him. Without saying anything, Xie Lian also sat next to him. After squeezing his brain for a while and when he was about to say something comforting, he suddenly realized that the teenaged head was bleeding.
If it's blood from a corpse, it should have been dry for a long time. But this blood still flowed without pause, so it was only possible he was injured. Immediately, Xie Lian said to him, "Your head is injured, take off your bandages and let me help you examine it."
The teenager slowly raised his head, his two red eyes staring at Xie Lian as he hesitated timidly. Xie Lian smiled a little, and told her, "Don't be afraid. If you are hurt, it must be treated and healed immediately. I promise I will not be afraid of you."
The teenager hesitated for a moment, then turned and slowly opened the bandage above his head. His movements were very slow, and Xie Lian waited patiently for him. He was already thinking about what he should ask next. This teenager definitely can't stay at Yu Jun Mountain anymore, seeing the current situation and conditions won't be good, but where is he going? It's not like he can return to heaven with me. I don't even know when my next meal will appear, so I have to think of a reliable arrangement to calm it down somewhere. Next, there was the Green Ghost, Qi Rong ...
At this point, the teenager had finished removing the bandages and turned around.
And when Xie Lian clearly took a look at that face directly, he felt as if in a split second, all the blood in his body was drained away.
Isn't this ...
How could he possibly forget this face.
That face.
