You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 322 Asking for a bowl of rice
"Are there any Xuzhou people here? My brother saw a city here some time ago, and came here specially to visit. Don't worry, folks, we have no ill intentions! Please come out and talk!"

The Ghost City Lord and Master Wang on the top of the city wall looked at each other.

"He seems to be sane, can we believe it?"

"Because he is still conscious, it is hard to believe." The ghost city lord shook his head: "Being a sneaky ghost, but still conscious, it proves that he may have a plan to harm you and me. Who knows whether what he said is true or false? What if he tricks us into opening the door and then rushes in with his troops?"

Master Wang nodded: "That makes sense. So what should we do? Ignore him?"

“That’s not good either…”

The ghost city lord began to think.

The wait for rescue was too long.

They were a group of ghosts, but there were a few living people in the town. The ghost town was already full of yin energy, and there was no food here. If things continued like this, everyone who came here would become a ghost.

When the Taoist priest handed the ghost city to him, it was definitely not for the purpose of adding a few new ghosts to the city for no reason.

Now, there is a way to solve the problem, and the Lord of Ghost City intends to give it a try.

"I'll go down and talk to him myself."

"This?" Master Wang was slightly shocked: "This is too dangerous!"

"Don't worry. Tao Xian has the ability to change his form. I can create a mirage-like fantasy in front of him, but my real body is still behind the city wall and can't hurt me."

Master Wang finally felt relieved after hearing this:

"Please be careful."

The Ghost City Lord nodded and went downstairs.

It didn't take long before he arrived at the city gate. He adjusted his expression twice before closing his eyes.

At this moment, his mind was connected with the peach tree at the door. The peach tree, which was swinging its branches vigorously, paused slightly, and then a small hole appeared next to the peach tree, and a shadow exactly the same as the city lord appeared in the air.

The city lord suppressed his nervousness, and this "phantom" also arrived in front of the ghost army.

Looking up, this phantom was able to share its vision with the city lord. The city lord, who had not looked carefully from the top of the city wall just now, could finally see the situation below clearly this time.

Compared with the ghosts in the city, this group of ghost soldiers is quite miserable.

Some of the ghost soldiers had exaggerated wounds on their bodies, with a huge scar from the shoulder to the waist, through which one could see the internal organs and bones emerging; some simply had half of their heads drooping, with only a layer of skin left, and the bones in their necks sticking out, with blood flowing out.

The man who was shouting at the foot of the city wall just now was wearing a full set of heavy armor, and his face was completely covered by the helmet. It was difficult to see the face hidden inside through the tiny gap.

But several places on his armor were damaged, revealing the rotten flesh hidden underneath the armor.

The ghost county magistrate shuddered subconsciously just by taking a look at it.

Although he had been cut in half by the mountain bandits, his lower body was still there. After finding it, he could just pull it up and sew it up so that he could continue to use it. These soldiers in front of him...

I'm afraid that these limbs were lost in the war, and we can't even find where the stumps flew to.

They were like a walking battlefield, smelling of blood and iron.

The general who had just called out saw the city lord coming out, and walked up to him in two steps, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly:

"I am Xu Sanliang, a general from Yuzhou. Nice to meet you, sir."

"You are too polite, General." The Ghost City Lord also quickly introduced himself: "My last name is Zhao, you can just call me Zhaosheng."

"Where."

"you are welcome……"

The two ghosts were just standing there, greeting each other.

The Ghost City Lord then discovered that the General Xu Sanliang in front of him seemed to be more easy-going than he had imagined.

"Zhao Jun's figure is gleaming, but is he just as sneaky as us?"

Xu Sanliang asked curiously, and the Ghost City Lord nodded:

"I am indeed a deceased person. There was a disaster in Xuzhou before, and many people died. I was trapped, lost my life, and turned into a soul."

"Oh. What a pity." Xu Sanliang sighed.

"General, why did you have to come to Xuzhou to see a living person?" The Ghost City Lord asked, "You should all be soldiers from Yuzhou. Why did you come all the way from Yuzhou?"

"It's to get rid of the ghost."

"To get rid of ghosts?"

"Yes."

Xu Sanliang said: "My comrades and I have been guarding the pass in the wilderness of Yuzhou, preventing those insane Kyoto troops from entering Yuzhou.

“But a while ago, something strange happened in the wilderness. First, thunder rumbled in the sky, killing many of the ghosts in the Kyoto Ghost Army. Then, an entire mountain was struck into the sky by an inexplicable force. This great power of heaven and earth directly frightened the leader of the Kyoto Ghost Army.

"He seemed to think that the Jingzhou wilderness was no longer safe, so he simply rushed through the pass, but was stopped by me and my brothers. After repeated failures, he retreated.

"Then we didn't see them in the wilderness for seven days. We felt uneasy and sent out spies to investigate. I found out that these bastards went straight to Xuzhou!" If they go to Xuzhou, they will definitely bring harm to the people. This won't do. No way!
"I have already made an agreement with my brothers to come directly from Yuzhou and follow them to Xuzhou."

The ghost city lord was stunned when he heard this.

He was already somewhat surprised that a sane person emerged from the Yuzhou ghost army.

But from what this general said, it seems that there is someone with some brains in the Kyoto ghost army?

General Xu Sanliang glanced at the Ghost City Lord, his eyes falling on the large open space behind him:

"I sent a scout brother before, and he said that he saw a big city here, wide and tall. But when we sent the army over to take a look, we found that there was nothing there. I don't know if my scout brother was dazzled."

"General, you haven't told me yet, why are you looking for living people?" The Ghost City Lord didn't respond, but smiled and said, "Excuse me, but I am scared when I see such a large army. If a normal living person saw it, he would be scared to death."

As if he had noticed the other party's vigilance, General Xu Sanliang sighed deeply from his Adam's apple, which had long been frozen, under his mask:

"If possible, we don't want to scare the villagers, but our roots are in Yuzhou after all. After leaving Yuzhou, I found that the brothers' spirits were scattered a lot. After studying for a long time, I found that it was because we left Yuzhou and lost our hometown that we ended up like this.

"So we have to find a big city and get a meal. Food contains life and vitality. If we brothers can have a full meal, we will naturally have the strength to deal with those stupid thieves in Kyoto!"

His voice was sincere and did not sound fake.

But after hearing the request, the Ghost City Lord was still in trouble.

If this were New Spring City, Master Shanxin would only need to gently shake the ears of wheat, and the ground would be filled with golden color, which would surely allow these ghost soldiers to have a full meal.

But this is his damn Luoshan City!

All the wild ghosts from the deserted villages and towns live here. Not to mention the entire Xuzhou, even if you include Daliang, I'm afraid you can't find any ghost towns bigger than this one.

They are all ghosts, and with the supply of spiritual energy left by the Taoist priest, they do not need to eat at all, and naturally do not need to store food.

In such a small place, you expect to find enough rice to feed such a large army?
That is somewhat embarrassing for the city lord.

and……

The city lord was still somewhat wary.

Can you return to the battlefield after having a bite of food?

Although it is true that a sneaky person can be more aggressive if he gets bribed by others, it is like a laborer eating steamed buns. He can eat three steamed buns for lunch, but after working all afternoon, he has to eat three more buns at night.

Each of these ghost soldiers only needs a bowl of rice. How long can they last?

not to mention……

The city lord still has a doubt that he has not figured out:

"Since you have no one to rely on here, why don't you go back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of soldiers in front of him fell silent.

No one answered, even their war horses, which were glowing with the black light of the dead, stopped moving.

All the battered soldiers looked towards the ghost city lord.

Staring at him, without saying a word.

Although that function no longer existed, the Ghost City Lord still felt his hair stand on end, and his body hidden behind the city wall suddenly tensed up.

"The ghost army of Kyoto invaded Yuzhou and killed civilians. They deserved to die. If we don't kill them, how can our brothers rest in peace? How can our soldiers be satisfied?"

Xu Sanliang's voice was no longer filled with emotion. His overwhelming hatred soared into the sky. Even the peach tree was trembling with fear, and almost all of its branches were curled together.

The ghost city lord looked at the team and finally realized:
The discipline they displayed was only an illusion.

The madness and insanity were like a plague that infected the hearts of these ghost soldiers.

After long battles and the baptism of immortality, they turned into an army of monsters that roamed the wilderness.

However, unlike the Kyoto ghost army that killed everyone without restraint, this army only hated the enemies who invaded their homeland.

The ghost city lord felt a little nervous.

He was really afraid that the group of soldiers in front of him would suddenly go crazy and rush forward, breaking Tao Xian's magic, but his Taoism skills were still poor, and he really had no way to deal with it now.

A hard fight inside the city would result in losses for both sides, which was something the ghost city lord did not want to see.

And at this moment, the Lord of Ghost City suddenly saw a fog rising not far away.

The fog came suddenly and without any warning, just like clouds descending from the sky, like a heavy fog on earth.

From the mist came the sound of water rushing downstream.

A boat actually emerged from the fog.

The ghost army and the city lord all turned their eyes over there, and the oppressive atmosphere just now was swept away.

There was only one thought left in my mind:
Where on this vast plain can we get water to row this boat? !
