Chapter 12: The Ghost General

Luo Fang pondered for a while and suddenly realized: "Yes, these skeletons are probably summoned from there!"

Huang Feng asked: "So, where are they?"

"I don't know."

"Haven't you read the files?"

Luo Fang said confidently: "It happened a thousand years ago. I happened to see it and flipped through it. Who would read it so carefully!"

"What's the point of saving you!" Huang Feng was very contemptuous, and the skinny horse next to him also stamped his hooves to agree.

At this time, Li Motang suddenly said: "Although I don't know the exact location, it should be east of Dongshi Town.

This is the tradition of the Great Xia army for thousands of years. Burying bones in the east facing the sun can dispel resentment and death, not turning into evil spirits, and reincarnation safely.

You can go to the east first. If you can't find it, go back to the town at dawn to ask. The government office and the people in the town will always know."

"Then go east." Huang Feng drove the paper plane to search eastward while speaking.

Luo Fang jumped on the horse and invited Huang Feng: "Brother Huang, will you ride with me?"

Looking at the thin horse with bared teeth, Huang Feng really didn't want to add more burden to it, and turned to Li Motang: "I think your flying sword can still..."

"No way!" Li Motang decisively refused, and then he found that Xiao Nuan looked more regretful than Huang Feng.

This damn girl!

Ride on the horse and the flying sword, just to save some energy, Huang Feng can't be bothered by it.

With spiritual energy and aerodynamics, this little thing from heaven can't be difficult for him!

The four people and the horse went eastward. On the way, Huang Feng asked Luo Fang: "Didn't you go back to the Demon Collection Division to report? Why are you the only one here?"

"Don't mention it. There have been too many murders around Fengping City recently. Many people have not returned from handling cases. There is a shortage of manpower. I can't wait in the city all the time, so I came first."

...

Thirty miles east of Dongshi Town, there is a bare hill with jagged rocks and no grass or trees.

One hour ago

Fahe left Dongshi Town, neither hurried nor slow, thinking about Huang Feng's previous rescue of the child on the way.

Unconsciously, he came to the hillock and found that the yin energy here was lingering in the air of the hillock.

Fahe could feel that this was a burial ground, and it had been there for many years.

Such a place is the most difficult. Even if it is a sunny place, most of the dead souls can embark on the road of reincarnation, but there are always a few resentful souls who would rather wail and roar in the sun, but also take root here, unwilling to leave, and finally turn into evil spirits.

Now the dense yin energy of the hillock has covered the sky.

Standing outside the hillock and looking up, today is a rare good weather. The silver light of the half-moon is like a long skirt, and the stars are dotted on the skirt, shining from time to time.

But when you step into the hillock, the sky suddenly becomes gray, and the yin energy sweeps in, wrapping any life that approaches, suppressing and suffocating.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have vomited and fled long ago.

The people of Dongshi Town have known for generations that they should take a detour when passing by this place, so when Li Motang asked about the strange things that happened recently in the town, no one thought of this place at all.

"Amitabha!"

Fahe resolutely stepped into it. Just after taking a few steps, gravel rolled down to his feet. Looking ahead, a series of white skeleton arms stretched out from the ground, and then dug up the soil and rocks pressing on them.

Seeing the skeletons shaking their bodies and slowly standing up, looking at him together, Fahe was shocked.

These skeletons obviously still have intelligence. I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still so many undispersed souls in this burial ground. What did they experience that made them unwilling to leave for a long time?

The wind was howling, and a tall figure stood at the highest point of the hill, looking down at Fahe.

His shadow stretched from a high place just covered Fahe, so that he couldn't see his face at all.

The figure slowly walked down the hill, and every step he took on the ground was like a thousand troops, but unfortunately in this filthy environment, it was no longer majestic, only bloody and terrifying.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and the armor rustled.

The armor had long been rotten, and under the rusty helmet, it was not a skeleton, but the twisted face that was dry, cold and hard like a rock was uglier than a skeleton.

Fahe sighed: "Donor, it is better to let go of your resentment and go to paradise as soon as possible."

"Bullshit!" The face of the ghost general was dry, and his lips did not open and close, but his voice was very smooth and sharp, "Don't persuade others to be good without experiencing their suffering. What I hate most in my life is monks like you. Since you want to meddle in other people's business, leave your life!"

Draw the sword!

It was a bit embarrassing. The sword of the ghost general had long been rusted in the scabbard. He forcibly drew the sword, and the blade was completely broken, and only the hilt was pulled out.

But although the sword blade was not drawn, the blood-like sword energy had already slashed towards Fahe.

"Amitabha!"

Fahe once again protected his body with the Arhat statue, then he chanted the scriptures in a low voice, and hit the ground with his Zen stick. Every time he hit it, the Arhat statue would hit him with a palm.

The golden light turned into dense tadpole-like scriptures, which surrounded the ghost general like a thread, getting tighter and tighter.

The ghost general waved the hilt of the sword, and the yin energy of the whole hill was stirred by the bloody and violent sword intent, but the scriptures remained unaffected.

Fahe looked a little compassionate: "This is the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", which is used by the Buddhist sect to save the ghosts. Don't struggle, and go to reincarnation as soon as possible!"

This expression really stimulated the ghost general. With his roar, the skeletons on the hill rushed towards Fahe. When they were blocked outside the Arhat statue, they waved bone knives, or scratched and bit, trying to break the Arhat statue and help the ghost general escape.

Seeing that these skeletons were in vain, Fahe felt a little relieved.

Sure enough, not everyone can break the Arhat statue. Now he is only a thin layer of window paper away from the Return to Void Realm. If it weren't for Huang Feng's mysterious realm and peculiar skills, ordinary Return to Void Realm cultivators would have to use all their strength to hurt him.

Seeing that the scriptures of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" had already bound the General of the Dead Souls tightly, and it only took a moment to eliminate the dead souls, Fahe showed a trace of relief.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened. A black shadow appeared behind him, pressed his palm on the Arhat statue, and crushed the Arhat statue with just a little force.

Fahe was shocked, but he found that the power that crushed the Arhat statue did not dissipate, and rushed straight into his body.

He had never seen such a brutal and vicious power, and his internal organs were instantly severely damaged.

Fahe did not dare to neglect it. He smashed the Zen stick heavily on the ground, and the six-character mantra of Buddhism blasted at the black shadow behind him. He took the opportunity to throw out a wooden bowl, escaped into the bowl and fled far away.

As Fahe left, the scriptures on the General of the Dead Souls lost the support of Buddhism and gradually dissipated.

The black shadow was in no hurry to chase Fahe, and told General Ghost: "The plan has been known to the Demon Collection Division. Although we can be sure of success only if we bury more places, if we continue to delay, we may not even have a chance to give it a try."

General Ghost asked: "What does your Excellency mean?"

"You can do it anytime!"

"Thank you, your Excellency."

"Whether it succeeds or not, don't tell anyone about my existence."

"I understand!"

The black shadow nodded with satisfaction and chased in the direction where Fahe fled.
