When Mr. Bai learned about this, he was also worried. Although the world is in chaos, the bureaucratic structures in various places still maintain the short-term operation of Xu State.
Once time goes on for a long time and the existing order in various places collapses, the local powerful will immediately become princes.
That is the real chaos in the world.
Now, if the rebellion of Dong Lushan and his son can be resolved early, and one of the princes from all over the country is chosen to ascend the throne, the country of Xu can still be maintained.
It's just that there is nothing Mr. Bai can do about this matter. Although he has some reputation in Yanhua Mansion, the heroes in front will not listen to him.
Even if we know the situation now, we can't make any beneficial changes.
Ye Ming, who was seeing Mr. Bai worried about this matter, suddenly felt something, looked into the distance, moved and disappeared from the place.
...
After Dong Lushan rebelled, Zhang Zhi and others took advantage of the emptiness in his rear and took a group of family members south to Pingzhou.
Since most of the family members are women and children, and bandits are rampant on the road, the road is also difficult to travel.
With the skills of a group of veterans, it took them several months to reach Yanhua Mansion.
"Come on, take a rest tonight, and tomorrow we can go to the place Mr. Yang mentioned. Once we get there, we can live a good life!"
Zhang Zhi cheered up the exhausted people.
When a group of people heard this, they were all excited.
After traveling for so long, it’s finally almost over.
There was no good resting place near them at the moment.
It is simply summer and the weather is very hot, so there is no problem even sleeping outdoors.
They only had two tents for a few old people and children who were in poor health. Others who came all the way slept outside.
There were unpredictable weather conditions, and the sky was still clear during the day. As soon as night fell, it began to rain lightly.
Everyone lamented that they were unlucky and had no choice but to find a few reasonably big trees and try their best to hide.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhi seemed to hear the sound of children playing.
This made him frown and said to the women on the side:
"Tell the kids to stop making noise and be quiet."
The women were all confused and said to him:
"The kids are so hungry, how can they have the energy to make a fuss?"
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi took a closer look at several thin, listless dolls and frowned.
Indeed, these dolls haven't starved to death yet. They are already dying and should not have the strength to act nonsense.
Just when I was wondering if I was hallucinating, I suddenly heard the sound of children playing again.
And the sound was accompanied by the sounds of footsteps and pushing.
The strange thing is that it is obviously raining now, but the actions of those children seem to be completely undisturbed by the rain.
This was a bit strange. Zhang Zhi looked at the others.
"Did you hear the children's voices?"
"It seems a little bit..."
A person next to him said somewhat unconvincingly.
Zhang Zhi felt something was wrong and asked everyone to cheer up and prepare to deal with the crisis.
Everyone also felt that something was wrong. Even though they were very tired, they still forced their energy and stared around.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of children's laughter.
The laughter was quite clear, as if four or five children were laughing together.
Zhang Zhi and others heard the sound and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
In the darkness, there was nothing on the other side, and the laughter of children came out of thin air.
"No, we encountered something dirty!"
Someone yelled, and others became nervous.
Zhang Zhi immediately said to several women:
"Quick, let the kid pee!"
Along the way, they encountered several dirty things, which they always used to deal with.
The children also knew the seriousness of the problem and peeed quickly.
Unfortunately, they were hungry and thirsty and couldn't urinate.
Several women pinched them so hard that the painful children managed to urinate a little.
But alas, it was useless.
Because it rained today, so much rain fell into half the bowl as soon as it reached the bowl.
Several women were frightened and panicked, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi knew that this trick would not work and shouted:
"Saccharum!"
After saying this, he first cut his arm with a knife to let the blood flow out.
People in the military still know some ways to ward off evil spirits.
These people have all killed people, have murderous intent in their bodies, and their blood is full of masculinity.
If you use blood, you should be able to drink it to drive away the ghosts.
Sure enough, as several veterans cut their arms, blood flowed out.
The laughter and noise of the children were far away, and they didn't dare to get close.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi knew it was useful and immediately said to everyone:
"Let's go, let's go quickly. Once we're out of the range of this dirty thing, we'll be fine!"
Now, no matter how tired they are, everyone will still try their best to get on the road.
As they walked in the rain, they could still hear the noise of the children from time to time.
Although the sound is not scary, it feels a bit scary.
Summer rain comes and goes quickly.
Everyone ran for a distance, the children around them were still laughing, and the rain had stopped.
Logically speaking, this is a good thing. Without the interference of rain, people can move more flexibly, and it should be easier to escape from the range of the dirty thing.
But before everyone felt hopeful, they saw a faint black smoke drifting past where the laughter came from.
"Cover your mouth, quickly, cover your mouth!"
Seeing the smoke, Zhang Zhi's expression changed and he shouted quickly.
Everyone's clothes had already been wet by the rain, so it was quick to wrap their clothes around their mouths and noses.
The black smoke came with the wind and floated among the people.
Although they covered their mouths and noses, everyone was still dizzy from the faint black smoke, and everyone staggered around, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhi also felt tightness in his chest, his body was swaying, and he was about to fall to the ground.
He just relied on his strong willpower to barely keep his body from falling.
Except for him, other veterans, old, weak, women and children fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi looked desperate.
Unexpectedly, I was almost at the place indicated by Mr. Yang and was about to live in peace, but I would collapse in this place.
Zhang Zhi, who was full of unwillingness, couldn't hold on anymore and fell to his knees on the ground.
But he was still trying to keep his eyes open. Even if he died, he still had to see clearly what the harmful dirty thing looked like.
As the children's laughter approached, Zhang Zhi vaguely saw the figures of a group of children.
The person leading them seemed to be an adult...
Just as he was waiting for death in despair, he suddenly heard a panic sound from the group of children, and they all screamed in terror.
Zhang Zhi seemed to see another child-like figure appearing here, which seemed to be a kind of dirty thing.
It's just that this hiding thing is not harmful to anyone, but it is dealing with that group of children.
The new dirty guy was quite capable. The group of children he beat made them cry and run away with their heads in their hands.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
I only hope that this new dirty thing can defeat these evil spirits.
But contrary to expectations, although the new dirty thing that appeared could beat those dirty things that looked like children, it could not beat the dirty thing who led a group of children.
The dirty adult-looking thing was holding something like clothing in his hand, which he suddenly opened, emitting a burst of faint black smoke.
The new dirty thing was hit by the black smoke and staggered, seemingly unable to resist.
Seeing that the black smoke was effective, the dirty guy rushed forward and punched and kicked the new dirty guy.
The newcomer couldn't beat him, but he still used his hands and feet tenaciously to scratch the opponent.
But it was of no use. Not only did he beat himself up with the dirty thing with black smoke, but he also called the group of children to join him and greeted the new arrivals.
Zhang Zhi was very anxious when he saw this.
At this time, he found that the other party's attention was not here for the time being. He seemed to have recovered a little and was able to move.
Zhang Zhi made a quick decision, pulled out the knife tied to his leg, cut his palm, and rushed towards the blurry figure of the adult, holding his palm in front of him and hugging him!
His blood worked, and he didn't miss it, but really caught the man.
The man was held down by his palms, and white smoke immediately emitted from where the blood spilled.
"Ah~~"
The dirty adult-looking thing screamed, as if it had been greatly hurt.
Xin Lai's pressure suddenly decreased, and while the dirty adult-looking thing was being held down, he immediately fought back, beating the shit out of several dirty kid-like things, and then stepped forward to punch and kick the dirty adult-looking thing.
The dirty thing screamed again and again, turned over violently, broke away from Zhang Zhi's hand, and rolled away with a group of children.
As these dirty things ran away, Zhang Zhi suddenly felt relaxed all over, and there was no longer the uncomfortable feeling he had when he was hit by black smoke.
Not only him, but others also began to recover.
At this time, Zhang Zhi looked at the faint shadow of the new kid with some fear, feeling very nervous.
The newcomer seemed to have no intention of harming them, and actually completely disappeared from Zhang Zhi's sight and never appeared again.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and kept chanting the words "Bodhisattva bless you".
Others gradually recovered and did not dare to stay here anymore, so they decided to rush to the place Mr. Yang said overnight...
Under the tree that the group of people couldn't see, a seven or eight-year-old spirit that looked like a child, with purple clothes and black feet, was resting under the tree.
This spirit is none other than the pig-horned white-bellied ghost.
Ye Ming asked him to deal with Dong Lushan once, which improved his cultivation level, and then let him go.
The tough-minded pig-horned white-bellied ghost chose to leave Ye Ming and his party and continue the old days.
However, after enjoying the rapid increase in his cultivation level, he became somewhat dissatisfied with the days when his cultivation level was stagnant.
But he couldn't bear to look for Ye Ming and his party again, so he simply followed Zhang Zhi and others.
This time they encountered trouble that they couldn't handle, so the pig-horned white-bellied ghost took action.
It's just that his foundation is too weak. Even after a cultivation level rise, he can't defeat the opponent group, but suffers a big loss.
While the Pig-horned White-bellied Ghost was resting under a tree, planning to wait a while before catching up with Zhang Zhi and others, he suddenly heard a voice laughing:
"The monsters fight against the monsters, and the evil spirits fight against the evil spirits. It's a good show for me."
The pig-horned white-bellied ghost was startled and looked to the opposite side.
At first glance, the person who came was an extraordinary god, and he seemed to be the type with profound spiritual practices.
This god also holds a chain in his hand, which is chaining a skinny old man and four children-like spirits.
The old man looked like an old human man, thin and skinny. He was holding a bag of evil spirits in his hand, but it had been sealed and could not be used.
The children behind them all look different, some have donkey heads and bodies, some are dressed in yellow and have red faces.
The children and ghosts who were supposed to be naughty are now like eggplants beaten by frost, dejected and wailing.
Seeing this ghost who easily defeated the ghost that he couldn't defeat, the pig-horned white-bellied ghost had a serious face and stood up, as if he was ready to fight for his life at any time.
The person who came was naturally Ye Ming. When he saw that the other party still looked like he would rather bend than bend, he smiled slightly.
"Yang Luming and I are old friends. I heard him talk about you and he spoke well of you."
Hearing what the other party said without any malicious intent, the pig-horned white-bellied ghost felt more relaxed.
"You have done a good job in protecting humans. Even though you are a monster, I will not be biased and allow you to enter my jurisdiction."
Ye Ming said, looked at the group of captured spirits, and said with a smile,
"A spirit ghost likes to wander around and spread evil spirits to harm people. Other than that, it has no other ability. It is useless to leave it alone."
After that, he slapped it with one palm.
Several ghosts only had time to let out a scream before they were beaten to ashes.
Seeing this scene, the pig-horned white-bellied ghost's eyelids twitched.
This "Tiaoluo Jinggui", like him, is one of the seventy-two kinds of ghosts that do not care about the heaven and earth, the mountains do not harvest, and the gods do not care.
He didn't expect to be killed by a god in front of him today.
This caused great trauma to the pig-horned white-bellied ghost's little mind.
Doesn’t it mean that the gods don’t care?
Why is this god so unruly?
...
