Hongjun understood a little. Li Jinglong explained to him, "The cities outside the Great Wall were plundered, and now they are attacking Liangzhou. They are all to kill people and increase the number of soldiers in the army. Zhang Hao's origin is unknown, but as a demon who spread the plague, there must be someone who ordered him to do so. The illness of Mo Rigen, the Old General, and the soldiers in the city all fell on this guy. "
"Who ordered him to do so?" Hongjun asked.
"Then we can only ask him." Li Jinglong ordered, "Do it."
Hongjun first melted the ice around the arms. The guards came forward and tied it tightly with iron chains. Next, they tied its legs. After the iron chains and pig iron chains were tied, Li Jinglong was afraid that it would break free again, so he tied wet cowhide ropes around its ankles and wrists.
Finally, the soldiers dragged the iron chains and dragged the Ghost King out of the ice coffin and tied it to a stone pillar. The ice coffin suddenly shattered, shaking off the ice shards on the ground. The Ghost King was free!
"Liu Fei?" Li Jinglong asked as he applied an ice towel to his swollen left eye.
The Ghost King was tied to the stone pillar. Hearing this name, it slowly raised its head. Its eyes were the same as all the other corpses, showing a murky white color. The only difference was that its pupils were faintly discernible.
"Hand over the antidote." Li Jinglong said in a low voice.
Hongjun's heart was in his throat.
The Ghost King did not answer. It only raised its head slightly. Its expression did not change, and its eyes seemed to be looking at the sky. Lu Xu wanted to go forward, but Hongjun pulled him back and shook his head.
"Hand over the antidote!" Li Jinglong almost roared. Then he released the light of the Mind Lamp from his hand, shining on the Ghost King. The Ghost King let out a muffled roar and struggled continuously. It was obviously in great pain.
Li Jinglong put away his mind's lantern. Hongjun could not help but feel fear. This was the first time he had seen him interrogate a daemon. However, if he did not interrogate him, the lives of Mo Rigen and so many people would be in danger.
"They don't know how to speak?" Hongjun recalled that none of the Ghouls had spoken along the way.
"Give him a pen and paper." Li Jinglong ordered the soldiers.
Thus, a soldier took a pen and paper and handed it to the Ghost King. Li Jinglong knew that he had no time to waste. First, he had to find out the method of detoxification. Secondly, he had to find out who was behind all this.
The Ghost King held a pen in his hand, and the soldier placed a piece of paper on a wooden tray for him to write on.
Li Jinglong said, "If you want to live, tell me the truth."
Li Jinglong's words were quite ambiguous. It was indeed strange to say "want to live" to a dead person. However, the Ghost King was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he swept away the pen with his bound hands and roared at the soldier!
As soon as the Ghost King roared, the soldier immediately wailed and scrambled to escape. Li Jinglong finally could not bear it anymore. He raised his fist and wanted to punch the Ghost King in the face. The Ghost King was not afraid at all. He struggled with the iron chains, meaning that he was tied up. If he had the ability, then let him go and fight one-on-one.
Li Jinglong was simply unable to restrain his anger. He reluctantly suppressed his anger and turned to leave.
"What should we do?" Hongjun anxiously asked as he chased after Li Jinglong.
"I don't know." Li Jinglong was restless. He asked, "How is the patient?"
Hongjun had already seen Mo Rigen and Geshu Han once before. After taking the medicine, they were stable. However, they were still unconscious. He did not know how long they would last.
"Let me think about it." Li Jinglong sat cross-legged on the couch in the side hall. The lack of rest for days made him very tired.
"Liu Fei, Liu Fei …" Li Jinglong recalled Zhang Hao's words and muttered to himself, "Who was this Ghost King when he was alive? Was there a general in the ancient times called Liu Fei? "
The most important thing now was to get him to speak. Hongjun was about to leave when Li Jinglong said, "Stay with me for a while, Hongjun, I'm too tired."
Li Jinglong's plan was meticulous. He had successfully used the tactic of capturing the king first to capture the bandits. However, he did not expect to fall at the last step. Moreover, Zhang Hao's betrayal was something he never expected. If he had been more careful and detained Zhang Hao, he might have had a way.
The most important thing now was how to get the Ghost King to speak.
Hongjun proposed another idea, "What if he's a puppet? Whether it's the Ghost King or an ordinary zombie, he doesn't have his own thoughts. What if he's just a puppet controlled by a puppet?"
"Impossible." Li Jinglong pondered and replied, "His martial arts and skills, as well as his ability to command the army, are definitely not something that others can borrow."
Hongjun muttered to himself. Li Jinglong lay in front of the table and said, "I'll sleep for a quarter of an hour."
Hongjun heated the stove for Li Jinglong. After he fell asleep, he got up and went to see the patient. After patrolling around, he returned to the corridor. Several soldiers were standing guard in the military field. Under the direct sunlight, the Ghost King finally showed some expression. His eyes were squinted in pain. His hair was disheveled and he was tied to a stone pillar. It was obvious that he was very afraid of the sun.
Hongjun suddenly remembered something. When the zombies moved together, they were either at night or on a snowy day. In other words, there was no sunlight. And they were even more afraid of Li Jinglong's Mind Lantern than ordinary monsters.
Lu Xu was still waiting in the military field. Seeing that Hongjun and Li Jinglong's discussion had not reached a conclusion, he anxiously said to him, "Hongjun!"
Hongjun signaled him to be patient and replied, "There will be a way."
He slowly approached the Ghost King and stopped three steps away from him.
"Liu Fei?" Hongjun asked.
Lu Xu followed him. The Ghost King's head was drooping. His hair was covered in ice shards. He slightly raised his eyes and looked at Hongjun with his cloudy eyes.
"I'm also a monster." Hongjun suddenly said.
The Ghost King didn't answer.
Hongjun took off the Peacock Plume and held it in front of the Ghost King. He motioned for him to look and said, "This is my father's relic. He was a monster. Liu Fei, why are you doing this? "
The Ghost King didn't look at the Peacock Plume. He just raised his eyes and stared straight at Hongjun. In the end, his throat made a clear "ge" sound.
Lu Xu looked at him for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left the military field in an instant.
Hongjun asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Xu had already run away. Hongjun had no choice but to ignore him. He said, "I know you saved Qin Liang. You're not a bad person. Liu Fei, our friend is about to die. Can you tell us why you're doing all this?"
The Carp Demon said, "Why do I feel like he's lost his soul? Hongjun, do you think that after Corpse Ghosts die, their souls are still in their bodies?"
Hongjun's brows were tightly knitted. He still remembered that Qing Xiong had given him a book. The book was about birds and beasts, but there was no record of Corpse Ghosts.
Hongjun observed the Ghost King and said, "I think it's not that he doesn't want to talk, but that he can't. What should we do … … "
Hongjun was at a loss when Lu Xu shouted from not far away, "Hongjun!"
Hongjun turned around and saw Lu Xu supporting Mo Rigen as they staggered out of the military field. The shock was no small matter. Hongjun hurriedly turned around to support them. Mo Rigen had slept for a long time. He woke up with difficulty, coughing non-stop, and his body temperature was ice-cold.
Hongjun said, "Go back and lie down. Lu Xu, why did you ask him to come out?"
Mo Rigen was already seriously ill. At this time, his footsteps were like cotton, and it was very difficult for him to move. He gasped and asked, "Who … … is this? What … … happened? "
Lu Xu said, "Celebrity Li, Celebrity Li!"
Lu Xu insisted on supporting Mo Rigen to the Ghost King. Hongjun hurriedly let Mo Rigen rest on his shoulder from the other side. Lu Xu stretched out a hand, twirled in the air a few times, said a few words, and then pressed his hand on Hongjun's forehead. He turned to look at Mo Rigen, and then pointed at the Ghost King.
"What do you mean?" Mo Rigen's eyes were almost unable to open, and his whole body was weak and limp.
Lu Xu was very anxious. He kept pressing his hand on Hongjun's forehead, and then on the Ghost King's forehead, and then looked at Mo Rigen.
Hongjun suddenly remembered a night when he was trapped in a nightmare. The moment Mo Rigen woke him up, he chanted a few words of an incantation, and then pressed his hand on his forehead.
Hongjun understood. Lu Xu must have also been woken up by Mo Rigen from a nightmare, and knew that he had this special ability. And when Lu Xu saw the Ghost King's expression, he felt that perhaps the Ghost King was dreaming!
"Mo Rigen!" Hongjun said, "Use magic to wake him up, and calm his nightmare!"
Mo Rigen: "… …"
Mo Rigen said weakly, "I'm so cold … …"
"Hold on," Hongjun hurriedly said.
"You're still letting a half-dead person cast a spell." The Carp Demon said, "Do you still have a conscience? Hurry up and send him back to rest! "
Mo Rigen struggled to raise his hand. His eyes were blurred as he tried to think of the incantation.
Hongjun's heart beat wildly. He felt that he was being too cruel. Lu Xu was still cheering him on. Mo Rigen couldn't raise his hand, so Hongjun moved his hand and said, "You just have to recite the incantation. Or you can teach me, and I'll do it?"
Mo Rigen shook his head and said, "You won't be able to learn … …"
He intermittently chanted a few words, took a deep breath, and forced himself to be alert. Then he pressed his hand on the Ghost King's forehead.
At that moment, the shadow of a giant blue wolf appeared behind Mo Rigen. It almost rose from the ground and let out a deafening roar at the Ghost King!
The Ghost King was caught off guard by this force. His whole body burst into black flames, and he was blown back as if he was swept away by a gust of wind. Mo Rigen repeatedly shouted. His hand was pressed on the Ghost King's forehead, and he couldn't stop trembling. The Ghost King seemed to have been hit by a powerful force. He let out a painful roar, and his hands kept struggling, dragging the iron chains!
Li Jinglong heard the noise and immediately rushed out. He saw Lu Xu and Hongjun holding Mo Rigen. Mo Rigen pressed one hand on the Ghost King's forehead. Although he didn't know what was going on, he hurried forward.
Mo Rigen's expression was very painful. Black gas appeared behind the Ghost King, and gathered into a roaring monster. It wanted to swallow Mo Rigen. The Grey Wolf's figure gradually faded. Li Jinglong made a prompt decision. He used the power of the Mind's Lantern and slapped Mo Rigen's back.
White light suddenly filled Mo Rigen's body. The spiritual energy in Mo Rigen's hand became stronger, and gathered into a storm. It attacked the black gas behind the Ghost King! In an instant, the black gas seemed to howl. "Boom!" It was shattered by the white light hurricane!
Mo Rigen's spiritual energy was then retracted. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
Lu Xu hurriedly half carried Mo Rigen. Hongjun and Li Jinglong went forward to catch Mo Rigen's heavy body.
The Ghost King's lowered head slowly raised. In his turbid eyes, a gray field gathered, and his pupils appeared. He frowned and looked at the three people in front of him. He then turned his head to look at the iron chains that tied him up.
At the same time, in Yadan, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Snowflakes floated all over Stone Valley.
Deep underground, in the darkness, Zhang Hao dragged his broken body and staggered into the tomb.
A woman wrapped in a white robe stood in the middle of the tomb. She said coldly, "You messed up the whole thing, Zhang Hao. Now you can't explain it to the Demon King."
Zhang Hao said, "How can you blame me? The Ghost Corpse Army is still outside. As soon as we got out of Jade Gate Pass, I threw them off. It doesn't matter. The rattle-drum is still there. We just need to sneak back, release Liu Fei, and take back the Great General Sword … "
The white robed woman turned around. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Liu. Fei. Has. Woken."
Zhang Hao was shocked. His face was filled with fear. His teeth chattered. The two of them looked up at the top of the tomb.
The tomb was filled with fifty thousand stone coffins. The stone coffins were almost half empty. At the top, there was a white jade coffin with an open lid. The front of the coffin was engraved: Han Dynasty Runan King Liu.
The inside of the coffin was empty.
At the top, there was a black coffin. The words engraved on the coffin were blurred. One could vaguely make out the two words "Great Qin". On top of the coffin was a small rattle-drum.
