Yu Zhi walked around the town for a while and ate a bowl of steaming wontons on the roadside.
Just as he was getting up, Yu Zhi saw two familiar figures—Zhao Hao and Guo Shuer.
Yu Zhi lowered his head and waited for the two of them to pass by him. Fortunately, the other party did not notice Yu Zhi.
"Why are these two people here?" Yu Zhi was a little surprised. Even though it was strange, Yu Zhi didn't think about it. Maybe it was just the two of them going down the mountain to go shopping in a deep affection.
Yu Zhi bought a fast horse and rushed towards Qinggu. The Hundred Thousand Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Fortunately, Cangshan Mountain is not deep there, and very few sects will establish sects deep there. The green valley in Cangshan Mountain is not far away, and it only takes a day or two for a horse to gallop.
Another day later, Yu Zhi appeared in Qinggu.
Qinggu is still the same Qinggu, but the Ye family is no longer the original Ye family.
After the night when Ye Qinghuan killed Wang Wenxiu, the Ye family suffered more sieges. Most of the industries in Qinggu had been annexed, leaving some insignificant small shops, barely maintaining a living.
Historically, rise and fall, honor and disgrace are fleeting, and a bright and prosperous era can be wiped out overnight, let alone a family?
Wang Wenxiu's death had nothing to do with the Ye family, and the Ye family should even be happy. The suppression in the past ten years was all ordered by Wang Wenxiu. If she died, the Ye family would be able to live a better life.
But the world is full of twists and turns. The Ye family wanted to kill Ye Qinghuan, so they killed Ye Qinghuan for Wang Wenxiu.
This theory originally made no sense, but because of the benefits Wang Wenxiu promised, it made sense again.
Unfortunately, just like ten years ago, the Ye family once again bet on the wrong chips. They stood idly by and were in decline ten years later.
Retribution will eventually fall on you.
When passing by Ye Mansion, Yu Zhi glanced inside. The guards in front of the house were gone, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves were also slightly broken. Some people came in and out of Ye's mansion. From time to time, some curses came from the mansion, and then everything became quiet again.
Naturally, these people came to threaten the Ye family, and these scoldings were naturally the result of the Ye family's helplessness.
Yu Zhi didn't hate the Ye family, he just felt that the family was a little shameless and callous. To say it was hatred, Ye Qinghuan had never felt it before, but it did happen later. He didn't hate the silence of the Ye family back then, but he hated the Ye family for turning against each other in front of Ye Qiurong's grave.
Ye Qinghe was the only one in the Ye family that Yu Zhi had a good impression of. This woman was different from other people in the Ye family, but she seemed to be able to escape the mud and remain untouched.
As for Ye Chong, Ye Zhong took action that night on behalf of himself, not the Ye family. Yu Zhi only felt that this person had some bottom line, and there was no good impression, let alone any kindness.
In the tavern, Yu Zhi sat down and paid attention to the chatter of the guests everywhere.
In the tavern, news always spreads. The most important thing here is topics. However, there is a huge amount of news that needs to be sorted out one by one to determine whether it is true or false.
At this time, Yu Zhi particularly missed that touch of green clothing.
Shenyin Pavilion claims to know everything about the world, and Yu Zhi has already experienced its intelligence capabilities. At the beginning, Yu Zhi was still curious about why Yan Yi could see through his identity many times, but he never thought that behind the woman in green was standing the Shenyin Pavilion of the leader of the northern sect.
"well."
When Yu Zhi sighed softly, a person sat down opposite Yu Zhi.
"Are you thinking of me?" said a young man in green clothes.
Yu Zhi was startled. This was clearly Yan Yi's voice, but why did it come from the young man's mouth?
Wait, this young man in green looks familiar.
After just a few breaths, Yu Zhi pointed at the smiling young man in Qingyi and said, "You, you, you... Yan Qingyi?"
Yan Qingyi is Yan Yi, and Yan Yi is Yan Qing Yi. Yan Yi had already told Yu Zhi about this. Now she just changed into a man's attire, and became Yan Qingyi who was third on the Qingyun Trial Ranking list again.
At first, Yu Zhi and Yan Qingyi were not familiar with each other. I just feel that this guy has red lips and white teeth. He is not a good guy at first glance. He is mostly jealous. Yes, Yu Zhi had always been jealous of boys who were prettier than him.
Years later, when I found out that the young man with red lips and white teeth was actually a girl, was it another thought?
Yu Zhi looked at Yan Yi and said, "Why are you wearing men's clothes?"
Yan Yi spread his hands and flicked the paper fan, which seemed quite chic. "Hmph, you are only allowed to change your appearance, but I am not allowed to dress up?"
Yu Zhi was speechless and just wanted to ask, why do you know I am here. The question was forced back into his stomach again.
If you say this, you will definitely be looked down upon by Yan Yi. He knew Yan Yi's temper very well.
"Tell me, are you thinking of me?" Yan Yiqiao asked with a smile.
Yu Zhi had been guessed by Yan Yi more than once, and he got used to it over time.
However, Yu Zhi’s face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he denied it. "No, no, it's impossible."
The triple denial represents the affirmation of affirmations.
Yan Yi smiled and said: "Ye Qinghuan is in Qinggu. He broke through smoothly and should be firmly in the seventh level of the Open Monument."
Yu Zhi felt a stone drop in his heart. It was a big deal for Ye Qinghuan to break through. Many heroes in ancient and modern times had fallen on the seventh level of the Open Monument. After breaking through the realm, Ye Qinghuan's strength has reached a higher level. If he had to deal with He Yu at the beginning, there would be no need to fight hard.
Yu Zhi poured a glass of wine for Yan Yi, as if to thank Yan Yi.
Yan Yi snorted, "Stingy. Even if the child announces the good news, the master will reward you with some copper coins. When you come here, it's just a glass of wine."
Yu Zhi responded seriously: "I think you should not be short of money and other common things, so you should leave these yellow and white things to people in need like me."
Yan Yi snorted coldly again, her lips still as red and white as before.
"Not long ago, Li Haomiao appeared in Beiliang City and rescued the Crown Prince." Yan Yi continued.
Yu Zhi frowned. Someone assassinated Xiao Jingyao. This was not surprising. But Xiao Jingyao had a great cultivator beside him, but he still asked Li Haomiao to show up to save him. This is worth pondering.
"Is it the third prince?" Yu Zhi asked.
Yan Yi shook his head, "Ye Gui. If Ye Gui appeared, it was not on the night of the night attack on the Northern Sect, but earlier. Ye Gui assassinated Prince Xiao Jingyao."
Night ghost... Yu Zhi was very unfamiliar with this word. He looked at Yan Yi with heavy doubts on his face. Recalling the battle that night, Yu Zhi even felt a little scared. Weird martial arts and retractable limbs are killer moves that are hard to guard against.
Fortunately, Xiong Kui did not hesitate to use the bloody method at that time, otherwise, the White Flame Valley might have been completely destroyed.
Yan Yi pointed his finger at the table, signaling Yu Zhi to pour the wine. She knew that Yu Zhi was ignorant of all this.
Yu Zhi was also waiting for Yan Yi to explain, so he had to follow Yan Yi's wishes and pour wine for Yan Yi.
"I never thought you were still an alcoholic."
"If you ask for a beating, you are the drunkard. Your whole family is drunkard."
When he got to the point, Yan Yi's face also showed a trace of solemnity. This is an emotion rarely seen in Yan Yi.
She has always been as free and romantic as a bell on her wrist, and occasionally as carefree as the breeze in the mountains. She rarely appears with such a serious look.
"Night ghosts..." Yan Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then continued: "They are not from the human world, but monsters that invaded this world."
"Thousands of years ago, monsters like this appeared out of nowhere. They were human-shaped, but their appearance was far from human. To be precise, they were more like monsters grown from deformed babies. Some limbs were They are so slender that they can hang directly on the ground. Some have sharp mouths, monkey cheeks, and even teeth that are sharper than those of tigers and leopards. Others have three heads and six arms, and are covered with black hair."
"In short, their appearance is extremely terrifying. In the few days after the night ghost appeared in the world, dozens of cities in the world were slaughtered, and millions of human beings became the blood food in the mouth of the night ghost. Blood flowed into rivers, and corpses Across the wilderness, the entire world is far more cruel and bloody than the eighteen levels of hell."
Millions of people died in a matter of days. This is no different from the people of the current Chu Dynasty who rarely go to the territory of Beiliang Mansion. And all this happened in just a few days.
Yu Zhi was horrified, these were only a few days, and it would probably only take more than a month for this night ghost to destroy the entire world.
Yan Yi sighed and continued: "Thousands of years ago, there was no Great Chu Dynasty, but there were far more sects and more practitioners in the world than now. When the top figures in the world knew everything, the human race launched a counterattack .”
"At first, the human race was not the opponent of the night ghosts. The opponent's unpredictable martial arts and strange and powerful body made the human race practitioners suffer a lot. In the battles, the human race discovered that these monsters do not like the sun. They prefer dark and moist places. And blood food will help them quickly recover their physical strength. This is where the name 'Night Ghost' comes from."
"In the next few years, the battle between the human race and the night ghosts continued. However, each sect fought on its own and took care of its own one-third of an acre. However, the night ghosts had already occupied half of the world's territory. At that time, the human race was There are more practitioners than there are now, including dozens of tenth-grade masters. They know that if this continues, the human race will completely disappear from the world."
"Therefore, with the unanimous consent of dozens of tenth-grade masters, a sect alliance was formed to fight in a unified manner. The leader of the sect alliance was the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty."
When Yu Zhi heard this, he smiled and said, "It's because the founding emperor borrowed some inspiration to create the Chu Dynasty today." He always likes to think of people on the dark side.
Yan Yi did not refute, "Maybe. But that's all for later. What's important is that the monstrous disaster that happened thousands of years ago was put down. The human race paid a heavy price. Countless sects were destroyed, and the tenth-grade masters were almost gone. Died on the battlefield. Fortunately, the human race won."
Dozens of tenth-level masters died on the battlefield... Just this sentence can make Yu Zhi imagine the tragic situation a thousand years ago.
The tenth grade master is the strongest practitioner in the world. They are all dead, not to mention those common people?
When Yan Yi said this, he felt a little lucky and sad. Fortunately, the human race won, otherwise, there would not be a scene of the two of them sitting here drinking.
Yu Zhi asked: "So where do these night ghosts come from?"
Yan Yi took a sip of wine, moistened his throat and said, "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Yu Zhi was even more confused.
Yan Yi said: "There is no record of this matter in the ancient books of Shenyin Pavilion. Back then, the grandmaster fell and at the cost of his life, he turned into a large formation to seal the remaining night ghosts in a secret place. Now that thousands of years have passed, I am afraid those seals have changed Very weak."
Yu Zhi thought for a while and said: "There is no record in Shenyin Pavilion. But there must be the truth in the Dachu Palace."
The founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty was not a fool. After the war, he would definitely trace the origin of Night Ghost. Otherwise, how can this country be stable?
