After walking out of the stone room where the old water ghost was, Jiang Qi shook the short knife in his hand.
He looked back at the old water ghost's body, and then walked in the direction he came from.
"So-called general, you'd better die and leave no trace of you behind, otherwise you will be slapped sooner or later."
Jiang Qi muttered to himself.
Through the old water ghost's words, he could probably imagine what was going on.
During the Tang Dynasty, this place was still called the Western Regions, and there were many small countries.
Most of these small countries bowed to the Tang Dynasty.
Here, the Tang Dynasty established a protective palace called Anxi.
It should be like this for a Protectorate to suppress all the countries in the Western Regions and not be able to hold their heads up.
But the power of the Protectorate came from the cavalry and iron armies of the Tang Dynasty soldiers who had conquered the four barbarians.
Unfortunately, Datang will not remain strong forever.
Jiang Qi could probably figure out what era the old water ghost and others were in.
At that time, there was internal chaos in the Tang Dynasty and natural instability externally. In addition, the countries in the Western Regions were inherently bad-tempered, so rebellion became a matter of course.
That turmoil, if you only look at history books, there is indeed no trace of Loulan.
According to historical records, only the Anxi Protectorate was destroyed.
But just now, Jiang Qi was able to learn from the old water ghost's words that the battle that year was probably not only the "human" unrest in the countries in the Western Regions, but also many other things.
"General" should be the Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, or another senior general.
All in all, he is definitely a mysterious cultivator, and he is still a powerful mysterious cultivator who is qualified to be besieged by countless strange beings.
You can tell from the old water ghost's words that he is a very courageous person, similar to Jiang Qubing. They are both proud guys who would rather die in battle than escape and live.
He carved a memorial tablet for himself, which showed his helplessness, but he could also see his heroism and resignation.
The "General" never thought of leaving a whole body for himself, let alone that anyone else could survive.
Only five hundred people, including the old water ghost, plus some Loulan citizens, ran out in advance and escaped from the millstone of life.
But the existence of these people is also the reason why Jiang Qi wants to smoke "general".
Whether it was because the "general" really left a backup force and ordered these people to wait for his return, or the "general" never gave such an order at all, but these people were just stupid and loyal.
In any case, the "general" must have said something like "he may return", and these words were remembered by these people.
So for an unrealistic fantasy, these people used the Loulan evil method to eat people to extend their lives.
Whether it is spontaneous or the general's order, the reason why these people do this is ultimately because of the "general".
These people gave up their dignity as human beings, gave up their pride as soldiers, and turned themselves into human beings and ghosts. They lingered underground, not wanting to be freed every day.
For the general.
Because the general gave them hope.
But most damning of all, the general didn't respond to that wish.
"Since there is no hope, let this end."
Jiang Qi murmured to himself and slowly tightened the Nuo noodles on his face.
"Although I don't know why you would recognize me as that general, I will give you a relief as a general."
Jiang Qi was holding a short sword. He was very sure that he was not the so-called general.
Even though Jiang Qi carries secrets, he has never come into contact with anything related to the "General of the Tang Dynasty".
Even if it was a tortoise shell, Jiang Qi was already sure that it belonged to a Taoist sect leader, not a so-called general.
As for the others, only Jiang Qubing could be related to them, but it was even more unlikely that they were the same person.
I couldn’t figure it out for a moment, so I just didn’t think about it.
Jiang Qi took steps towards the place where the fighting was taking place.
Lisa's angelic light is still shining, but it can be seen that it has reached the end of its strength.
Several water ghosts fell down at their feet. Without exception, they all looked relieved.
Although several water ghosts died, there were still hundreds of them, and Lisa had despair on her face.
As for Ed, he was surrounded by a group of water ghosts and basically had a narrow escape from death.
"Buzz!"
Just when Lisa's power of faith was almost drying up, a strange buzzing sound suddenly sounded.
Then, in the confusion and astonishment of Lisa and Ed, their figures slowly disappeared.
Not far away, the black gold light on Jiang Qi's fingertips dissipated.
These two guys have fulfilled the role of tool audience.
Next, no audience is needed.
Jiang Qi raised the short knife in his hand.
In front of them were the water ghosts who suddenly lost their target, were briefly confused for a moment, and then all turned to look at Jiang Qi.
The number is in the thousands!
"Please all of you, please pass away."
Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and said softly.
These words should have been full of murderous intent, but at this moment, they were the most sincere wishes.
"Roar!"
I don’t know which water ghost roared first.
As if a signal, thousands of water ghosts swarmed around and rushed towards Jiang Qi one after another!
"Zheng!!"
The short knife drew a perfect arc and lightly passed around the heads of the three water ghosts in front of him.
Behead with one knife!
Jiang Qi's expression remained unchanged. Before the sword was fully used, he switched to another attack. With a light move of the sword tip, he chopped off another head.
These water ghosts had no formation at all, they just rushed up in a swarm.
Originally Jiang Qi was still wondering, why didn't they end each other or simply end themselves?
Now Jiang Qi understands.
The Loulan evil method not only eats people's immortality, but also erodes people's minds, leaving only their instincts.
In the instinct of water ghosts, there is no "suicide", "killing each other", and "sending death".
In the beginning, when they were still smart, these Loulan citizens were suppressed by five hundred Tang troops, and the evil spells did not corrode their bodies too seriously. These people often held the thought of "Will it not be so scary? I can really live forever." With such thoughts, one would not commit suicide. Later, as one gradually loses one's spiritual intelligence, one no longer thinks of it.
This is the horror of the Loulan evil method.
Once you start to fall, by the time you react, you are already beyond redemption.
Jiang Qi kept killing,
I don’t know how long it took, but there were already corpses everywhere in front of me.
The tall pile of corpses was piled up by thousands of headless corpses.
Jiang Qi stood on it, pointing his dagger at an angle and lowering his head.
"Roar!"
The only remaining water ghost was roaring at Jiang Qi.
This water ghost is stronger than other water ghosts, and the muscles can be faintly seen.
The most eye-catching thing is his hands, which are thick and strong but not bloated.
"Bai Jun."
Jiang Qi guessed the identity of this water ghost and saw his position in the army.
"Archer, or crossbowman."
No matter which one they are, they are all elites chosen by a thousand people.
Every archer, after shooting an arrow, draws out his knife and becomes the strongest melee soldier on the battlefield.
"Roar!"
Jiang Qi responded with a roar.
He seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
His knees bent sharply, he jumped up high and rushed towards Jiang Qi!
"farewell."
Jiang Qi said.
Then he swung his sword and chopped.
