It turns out that the leader of the volunteers is Li Qiang. Although Li Qiang was infected with evil thoughts, he still vaguely remembered his identity as a volunteer. He always felt that something big was about to happen, and some disaster was about to invade the world, so he gathered many volunteers like him and hid in caves in the mountains. A few days ago, Li Qiang led the volunteers to defeat some demons. On the way, they bumped into the ghost king Zhong Kui and proposed cooperation to ambush the demon army. Today's battle, halfway through, was originally full of momentum, but it was blocked by this sky barrier and could not find a way out.
Ye Yuan had already dealt with Li Qiang, a righteous man, in his early years. When he encountered stubborn evil spirits many times, he would lay out flowers, fruits, chicken, duck, and fish, and ask this strong man for help.
When Ye Yuan saw Li Qiang, he felt like meeting an old friend. He shouted loudly without fear: "Master Qiang, you always ask me if I want to join the Volunteer Army. Although I am old, I am not dead yet. Even if I am dead, I’ve also become a ghost, not a god, and I can’t fight side by side with you..."
"Are you... Xiaoye?" Li Qiang looked at Ye Yuan and seemed to remember this old man.
When Li Qiang's evil thoughts were not deep enough at first, he wandered in the mountains and discovered Ye Yuanlao Tao, and often visited him. Later, my evil thoughts became more serious, and I gradually forgot about this old way.
In the past few days, the demonic army was sweeping the mountain, and the entire mountainous area was filled with the roar of cranes and wind. Li Qiang always ran out of the cave at night and looked at the night sky, thinking that the time for the uprising had finally arrived. At the same time, the evil thoughts in his heart became deeper, making him forget many things. thing.
Next to Li Qiang stood a taller Yimin Lord, his whole body covered in blood, his skin dark, and holding a large mountain sword. His eyes were blood red, and with a roar, he was about to pounce on Ye Yuan.
"Wait..." Li Qiang stopped the big man, then pointed at the old Taoist and said: "He... is not a demon... Wang Hai... he... is not a demon..."
The tall righteous man is called Wang Hai, and he is the righteous man of a village ten kilometers away from this mountainous area.
"Are these Yimin Lords easy to deal with?" Aguan asked Pianpian quietly.
Pianpian thought for a moment before replying: "Yi Min Lords are all local gods. At least their power will not be lost to the generals. Twenty or thirty generals will beat you. Do you think you can deal with it?"
Aguan was stunned. While he was worried about the current situation, he also thought that if the evil thoughts of these righteous people could be dispelled, wouldn't it be a powerful new force?
"Do you want to join...do you want to join..." Li Qiang asked Pianpian again, but Pianpian remained silent.
The volunteers around them started making noises and shouted together: "Join or not...Join or not..."
Pianpian and Aguan looked at each other. The situation was stronger than the others. These righteous people were obsessed with evil and couldn't reason with them, so they had to follow their wishes and get over this natural obstacle first.
"Okay, let's join." Pianpian nodded.
"Would you...Xiaoye...do you want to join the Volunteer Army..." Li Qiang looked at Ye Yuan fiercely.
Ye Yuan opened his mouth and looked at Li Qiang. He seemed to realize that this Yimin Lord was different from before, but he didn't know how to answer. The volunteers around him started making noise again. Dasha felt the murderous intent of the volunteers, and he also bared his teeth and raised his ax high, as if he was going to fight.
Aguan winked at Ye Yuan, and Ye Yuan finally understood: "Okay, okay! I'll join, we are also volunteers, we are all brothers, we are all brothers!"
Li Qiang was then satisfied, grinned, and said loudly: "We are all brothers...revolt for the people...to drive out evil spirits..."
Aguan could not help but stand in awe when he saw that although these righteous people had evil thoughts, they still did not forget their duties.
"Let's go!" Li Qiang shouted, and with a big wave of his hand, he led the rebel army towards the mountain road.
The volunteers kept walking forward, and it seemed that they had not yet realized that they were in a sky barrier. A volunteer handed the flag to Aguan. Aguan accepted it with a wry smile and followed the team carrying the big flag, while Ye Yuan helped hold the stone fire wheel.
"The stone fire wheel is very fast, and you can definitely escape if you want to, but since the demon army has cast a sky barrier, there must be an ambush inside. It is safer to stay with these volunteers. If anything changes, it will not be too late to escape..." Pianpian He whispered to Aguan.
Aguan nodded, hoping to get out of this sky barrier as soon as possible. Everything around him was purple and filled with a strange fragrance, which made him want to vomit.
The volunteers walked slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the grass in front of them started to move, and a huge bison stood up from the grass. The bison was three meters tall and five meters long, with six large black horns on its head. It had dark purple fur covered with mottled and uneven markings, and looked very scary.
"Wow - why are there dinosaurs!" Aguan saw him from behind and couldn't help shouting.
The volunteers at the front also roared and screamed strangely, and they all picked up their weapons and tried to kill them.
Suddenly, the grass around them started to move again, and ghosts sprang out, but they were not demon soldiers. Some had severed hands and feet, and some had blood-stained faces, more like wandering ghosts.
On the back of the huge bison stood a fat black man in a red robe. He was the Ghost King Zhong Kui.
"Stop!" Zhong Kui saw the volunteers on the road ahead and waved to the hundreds of ghosts around him. The ghosts stopped and waited for the ghost king's order.
"Hey! Why are you here?" Zhong Kui asked, scratching his head.
"Purple light falls from the sky...the surroundings look like this...we...move forward...move forward...we can't find the way...the surroundings become different..." Li Qiang replied blankly.
"Idiot! This is not the original forest. We have been tricked by the monster!" Zhong Kui blew his beard. When he saw Li Qiang stammering and looking dull, he shook his head and said, "Brother, you were fine last night. Why are you acting so stupid today?"
"Shut up!" Li Qiang shouted, his eyes seeming to spit out fire. "You evil devil... you speak so freely... I'll kill you carefully!"
"What are you doing? Are you going to fight me again? I'm not afraid of fighting you. I'm just afraid that you'll pretend to be stupid and refuse to admit it after every fight. Damn it!" Zhong Kui laughed, his nose already smelling the scent of humans and immortals.
"What's that pile? Come here and show me!" Zhong Kui pointed at Aguan and his party and shouted loudly.
"They are newly joined volunteers...you can just take a look...what do you think I am?" Li Qiang said angrily.
"I think you are a fool!" Zhong Kui still laughed to himself.
"Nigger!" Li Qiang shouted: "Get down!"
"Come down, come down!" Zhong Kui laughed and really jumped down, landing in front of Li Qiang.
The volunteers howled and raised their swords to help.
Li Qiang turned around and shouted: "Don't interfere... I'll deal with this black devil!"
Zhong Kui laughed loudly and turned to the ghosts under his command: "Don't interfere either. This idiot wants to challenge me again. I'll give him his hands!" When Zhong Kui said this, he put his hands behind his back.
After Li Qiang heard this, his orifices were filled with smoke, and he swung a scimitar like a wheel of fire, slashing at Zhong Kui's head and chest. Zhong Kui laughed loudly. Li Qiang slashed at him dozens of times, but he couldn't hit Zhong Kui with one of his knives. Although Zhong Kui was thick and fat, he was quite dexterous. He found an opportunity to catch Li Qiang, grabbed the collar of his torn linen clothes, and slapped Li Qiang more than a dozen times.
"Didn't you say that you are willing to give in to others? Why don't you keep your words?" Ye Yuan, who was hiding behind, couldn't help but speak.
Li Qiang was beaten until he was dizzy, but he regained consciousness a little bit, and cursed angrily: "Yeah... you nigger, didn't you say you gave me your hands?"
"Are you awake?" Zhong Kui blew his beard and snorted, "How could I lie to you? I said you were a fool. It's true!"
"Look at you!" Zhong Kui grabbed Li Qiang by the collar and punched Li Qiang hard on the cheek, knocking Li Qiang to the ground. Zhong Kui glared and cursed: "In the battle at Caishan Pass, you arrived too late. I lost a lot of men for nothing."
"..." Li Qiang rubbed his head, feeling that he had a vague memory of the battle just now. He only knew that the more he killed, the angrier he became, and he lost his mind again. He tried to get up, but was kicked to the ground by Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui knelt down next to Li Qiang and said viciously: "Every time you have an attack, you get closer to evil spirits. Your eyes are about to bleed and your teeth are getting sharper. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. Although we work together to fight monsters, if you continue to go crazy, I will not show mercy when I kill you."
When the righteous people at the back saw their leader being bullied by the big black ghost king, they all roared, raised their scimitars, and rushed forward.
Li Qiang pushed Zhong Kui away, sat up, stopped the angry righteous brothers with a wave of his hand, and looked at the sky without saying a word.
"But if you have nothing to do, you can come to me for a drink." Zhong Kui shook his head and turned to leave.
