Chapter 55
Hongjun understood a little bit. Li Jinglong explained to him: "Whether the cities outside the Great Wall have been looted and attacked Liang Province now, they are all to kill people and increase the number of members of the army. Zhang Hao's origin is unknown, but he is a plague spreader. Youkai, someone must be instigated, and the illnesses of Morigen, the old general, and the soldiers in the city are all on this guy."
"Who will be the instigator?" Hongjun asked.
"Then you can only find out if you ask him." Li Jinglong ordered, "Do it."
Hongjun first removed the ice cube's arm position, and the guards stepped forward and tied it tightly with an iron chain, and then his feet. After putting on the iron shackles and pig iron locks, Li Jinglong was still afraid that he would break free again, and tied wet cowhide cords on his ankles and wrists.
Finally, the soldiers dragged the iron chain, dragged the war dead ghoul king up in the ice coffin, and moved a bundle on the stone pillar. The ice coffin broke apart, shaking off the ice scum on the ground, and the ghost king got out of trouble!
"Liu Fei?" Li Jinglong asked with an ice towel on his swollen left eye.
The King of Ghosts was tied to the stone pillar. Hearing the name, he slowly raised his head. His eyes were like all war dead ghouls, showing a turbid white color. The only difference was that the pupils were looming.
"Hand over the antidote." Li Jinglong said solemnly.
Hongjun raised his throat with a heart.
The Ghost King did not answer, but raised his head slightly, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes seemed to face the sky. Lu Xu was about to go forward, but Hongjun took him and shook his head.
"Hand over the antidote!" Li Jinglong almost roared, and then released the light of the heart lamp in his hand, shining brightly on the ghost king, the ghost king roared and struggled constantly, obviously extremely painful.
As soon as Li Jinglong put the light in his heart, Hongjun couldn't help but feel terrified. This was the first time saw him torture a monster. However, without torture, Morigen and so many people's lives would be at stake.
"They can't speak?" Hongjun recalled that on the way, he didn't seem to see any war dead ghouls talking.
"Give him paper and pen." Li Jinglong instructed the soldiers.
So a soldier took a pen and paper and handed it to the Ghost King. Li Jinglong knew that he had no time to delay. First, he had to ask about the detoxification method, and secondly, he was the man behind the scenes.
The King of Ghosts was holding a pen, and the soldiers put a wooden tray on paper for him to write.
Li Jinglong said: "If you want to survive, just explain it honestly."
Li Jinglong's words are quite ambiguous. It is really strange to say "want to live" to a dead person. However, the ghost king was silent for a moment, suddenly swept the pen with his tied hands, and roared at the soldiers!
As soon as the ghost king roared, the soldiers wailed and scrambled to escape. Li Jinglong finally couldn't bear it. He raised his fist and was about to punch the ghost king in the face, but the ghost king was not afraid at all. I am tied up and have the ability to let me single out?
Li Jinglong was so angry that he reluctantly suppressed his anger and turned to leave.
"What to do?" Hongjun asked anxiously after chasing after Li Jinglong.
"I don't know." Li Jinglong asked irritably, "How is the patient's condition?"
Hongjun had seen Morigen and Geshu Han once before, and they were stable after taking the medicine. They just remained in a coma and didn't know how long they lasted.
"Let me think about it." Li Jinglong sat cross-legged on the side couch, lacking rest for days, making him very tired.
"Liu Fei, Liu Fei..." Li Jinglong recalled what Zhang Hao had said, and said to himself, "Who was this ghost king before his death? Is there a general named Liu Fei among the ancients?"
The most important thing now is to let him speak. Hongjun was about to go out, but Li Jinglong said: "Stay with me for a while, Hongjun, I'm too tired."
Li Jinglong's strategy is prudent, one link is one link after another, and he succeeded in making one move to capture the thief and first capture the king. He did not expect that he was planted in the last step, and Zhang Hao's rebellion was beyond his expectation. If you take Zhang Hao again, there may be a way.
The most important thing now is how to make this ghost king speak.
Hongjun put forward another idea: "What if he is a puppet, whether he is a ghost king or an ordinary ghoul, he has no idea of his own, but he controls it?"
"Impossible." Li Jinglong groaned, and replied, "His martial arts, skill, and ability to command the military formation are by no means borrowed from others."
Hongjun was silent, Li Jinglong lay before the case and said, "I sleep for a quarter of an hour."
Hongjun gave Li Jinglong a stove, and after he was asleep, he got up to see the patient. After a round of patrol, he returned to the corridor. Several soldiers stood in the schoolyard. The sun was shining directly down, and the ghost king finally got a little expression. His eyes were squinted in pain, his head was disheveled, and he was tied to a stone pillar, obviously afraid of the sun.
Hongjun suddenly remembered something-when the war dead ghouls concentrated their actions, either at night or on a snowy day, that is, a day without sunlight. And they were more afraid of Li Jinglong's heart lamp than ordinary monsters.
Lu Xu was still waiting on the school grounds. Seeing that Hongjun and Li Jinglong had failed to negotiate, he said to him anxiously, "Hongjun!"
Hongjun motioned to him not to be impatient and replied, "There will be a way."
He slowly approached the ghost king and stopped three steps in front of him.
"Liu Fei?" Hongjun asked.
Lu Xu followed, the Ghost King Ben drooped his head, his hair was covered with ice, and he lifted a little under his eyes, looking at Hongjun with muddy eyes.
"I am also a demon." Hongjun said suddenly.
The Ghost King did not answer.
Hongjun took off the peacock feather and handed it to the ghost king to show him, and said, "This is my father's relic. He is a monster. Liu Fei, why are you doing this?"
The ghost king did not look at the peacock feathers, but raised his eyes and stared directly at Hongjun. At the end, there was a clear sound in his throat.
Lu Xu looked for a moment, then suddenly turned around, and then left the school grounds.
Hongjun: "Where are you going?"
Lu Xu had run out of sight, Hongjun had to ignore him, and said: "I know you saved Qin Liang, you are not a bad person, Liu Fei, our friend is dying, can you tell us what happened? What is it for?"
The carp demon said: "How do I think he seems to have lost his soul, Hongjun, you said that after the ghoul is dead, is the soul still on them?"
Hongjun twisted his brows tightly, still remembering that Qingxiong had given him a book. The book contained birds and beasts, but there was no record of ghouls alone.
Hongjun observed the ghost king and said, "I don't think he doesn't want to speak, but can't speak. What should I do..."
Hongjun was running out of time, not far away Lu Xu shouted: "Hongjun!"
Hongjun glanced back, but saw Lu Xu holding Morigen and staggering out of the school. The surprise was not trivial. Hongjun hurriedly turned to help. Morigen slept for a long time and barely woke up. He coughed and his body temperature was cold.
Hongjun said, "Go back and lie down, Lu Xu, what do you want him to do?"
Morigen was already seriously ill. At this time, he walked like cotton and moved very reluctantly. He gasped and asked, "Who is this? What happened to...?"
Lu Xu said, "Dawn Star, Dawn Star!"
Lu Xu insisted on holding Mo Rigen to the front of the ghost king, Hong Jun hurriedly let Mo Rigen put his shoulder on the other side, Lu Xu stretched out a hand, volleyed a few times, said a few snoring words, and then pressed his hand. On Hongjun's forehead, he turned his head to look at Morigen, and pointed at the ghost king.
"What do you mean?" Morigen couldn't open his eyes anymore, and his body fell weak.
Lu Xu was very anxious, and kept pressing Hongjun's forehead with his hand, then pressing the forehead of the King of Ghosts, and looking at Morigen.
Hongjun suddenly remembered that one night, when he was in a nightmare, he was awakened by Morigen, he chanted a few mantras, and then put his hand on his forehead.
Hongjun understood that Lu Xu must have been awakened from a nightmare by Morigen, knowing that he has this special ability. When Lu Xu saw the look of the ghost king, he felt that the ghost king might be dreaming!
"Morigen!" said Hongjun, "wake him up with magic tricks to appease his nightmare!"
Morigen: "..."
Morigen said weakly, "I'm so cold..."
"Hold on." Hongjun said hurriedly.
"You also let a half-dead person cast a spell." The carp demon said, "Is there any conscience! Send him back to rest!"
Morigen tried his best to raise his hand, his eyes blurred, trying to think about the spell.
Hongjun's heart was beating wildly, and he felt that he was too cruel. Lu Xu was still helping him. Morigen couldn't lift his hand. Hongjun took his hand and said, "You read The spell will do, or you teach me and I will come?"
Morigen shook his head and said, "You can't learn..."
He intermittently read a few sentences, lifted a sigh of relief, and pressed on the ghost king's forehead.
At that moment, behind Morigen appeared a shadow of a blue giant wolf, almost rising from the ground, and uttered a deafening roar at the ghost king!
Unpredictably, the ghost king was rushed by this force, and a black flame burst out all over his body, blowing back as if swept by a strong wind. Morigen yelled repeatedly, pressing his palm on the ghost king's forehead, shaking constantly. The ghost king seemed to be hit by a powerful mana, roaring in pain, struggling with his hands, dragging the iron chain!
Li Jinglong heard the sound and rushed out immediately. He saw Lu Xu and Hongjun holding Morigen. Morigen placed one hand on the ghost king's forehead. Although he didn't know what happened, he hurried forward.
Morigen’s expression was very painful, and the ghost king showed black energy behind him. He gathered into roaring monsters to swallow at Morigen. Chang Lang's shape gradually faded. Li Jinglong acted decisively, carrying the power of the heart lamp, and slapped Morigen's back with a palm. .
White light immediately filled Morigen's body, and the spiritual power in Morigen's hands became stronger again, gathering into a storm, and blasting away toward the black smoke behind the ghost king! In an instant, the black smoke seemed to be wailing, and it shattered and scattered in the white hurricane with a "boom"!
Morigen's spiritual power was reduced, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell softly.
Lu Xu hugged Morigen halfway, Hongjun and Li Jinglong stepped forward to catch Morigen's heavy body.
The ghost king's lowered head slowly lifted up, and in his turbid eyes, gray circles converged, pupils appeared, his brows were twisted, he looked at the three people in front of him, and then looked sideways at the chain that tied him.
At the same time, Yadan, the sky was overcast, and snow drifted all over the stone valley.
Deep underground, in the darkness, Zhang Hao dragged his broken body and staggered into the tomb.
A woman in a white robe stood in the middle of the tomb and said coldly: "You messed up the whole thing, Zhang Hao, there is no way to explain to the demon king now."
Zhang Hao said, "How can you blame me? The war dead ghoul army is still outside. Once out of Yumen Pass, I will throw them away. It doesn't matter, the rattle is still there. We just have to sneak back, release Liu Fei, and retake it. General Sword..."
The white-robed woman turned around, gritted her teeth, and said every word: "Liu, Fei, Already, Jing, Awakening, and now."
Zhang Hao was startled, with fear on his face, his teeth trembled, and the two looked at the height of the tomb together.
The tomb was filled with 50,000 neatly arranged sarcophagi. The sarcophagus was nearly half empty. There was a white jade coffin with the lid open on the top of the sarcophagus. The front of the coffin was engraved with: Liu of the King of Han Runan.
The coffin was empty.
On the top, there is a dark coffin. The characters engraved on the coffin are blurred, and the word "Da Qin" can be vaguely recognized. On the coffin is a small rattle.
