Chapter 260: I'm Not the God of Death, But I Want to Try

Days still passed day by day, but compared to before, Xu Qing had an extra errand, which was to go to the Yinhe Ancient Road every few days to record the changes in this barren land.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace. The Ghost King Mausoleum is an entrance to the Yinhe in Jinmen. While Xu Qing pays attention to the changes in the yang world, he has also been paying attention to the dynamics of all parties in the Yinhe.

Xu Qing had no adventurous spirit before. The example of the Emperor Wenchang dying thoroughly was still yesterday, so he was not willing to go deep into the Yinhe to investigate.

But this does not mean he has no other way to obtain Yinhe news.

The desolate Yinhe Ancient Road, the wind and sand are still bone-eroding.

Xu Qing stood in front of a grave, looking far into the thick fog and wind and sand in the distance.

These fogs are not ordinary fogs changed by water dew, but ghost fogs generated by yin evil spirits. If mortals walk into them by mistake, they will be confused by the fog, and they will not be able to call heaven or earth. Even if there is some coincidence, they rush out, and if they receive this fog in their stomachs, they will have to get a serious illness even if they don't die.

Just as Xu Qing was looking out, the crisp sound of horse hooves breaking dry bones suddenly sounded in the thick fog. A team of skeleton cavalry wearing broken armor broke through the fog. The leader's saddle was covered with ferocious beast patterns, and the hollow eye sockets were burning with ghostly green phosphorus fire. It was the Eight Banners Marshal who was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses during the founding of Dayong.

Xu Qing is socially extensive. He has often dealt with this marshal in the Yinhe in the past two years.

He has the fame of Dayong and knows the rise and fall of the yang world dynasty. Everything he describes has a full temptation for the Eight Banners Marshal.

As a founding veteran, the Eight Banners Marshal is very concerned about Dayong's national situation. Xu Qing catered to his preferences, and a zombie and a ghost reached a tacit understanding. Xu Qing brought Dayong's news to the marshal, and in exchange, the other party told him about the sights in the deeper part of the Yinhe Ancient Road.

Xu Qing knows how to do things. Whenever the Eight Banners Marshal's cavalry appeared, he prepared spiritual incense and offerings, and also packed various wines.

After several times, these ghost soldiers and ghost generals also got used to the existence of Xu Qing, the "human."

A group of ghost soldiers sat together drinking and smoking spiritual incense, and the military appearance and discipline had already shown signs of slackness.

Xu Qing felt that it would not take many years for the obsession of this ghost army to be corroded by him, and finally become a grain of historical dust on this Yinhe Ancient Road.

The ghost army exists because of obsession. Once the obsession disappears, no matter how powerful the steel torrent is, it will collapse.

"It is rumored that the northern border vassal forces were integrated by one person. This person is the only son of the Changting King. The Changting King was loyal to Dayong and committed suicide at the mouth of the Baishui River, proving his heart. After the Longping Emperor passed away, Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne and ordered the pursuit of the Changting King's son, meaning to kill them all.

The son of the Changting King hated the Longping Emperor for forcing people too much, and went north all the way. Since then, the fish has entered the sea, and there has been no news, but he did not expect to rise with the trend today, instigated the Northern Army, and pointed his sword at the Dayong country..."

Xu Qing told the truth about the Northern Army. Before the Eight Banners Marshal finished listening, the porcelain wine cup in his hand was crushed into powder.

Dayong's country, is it going to be buried like this?

The Eight Banners Marshal's chest drummed like a wind box. In a short moment, the evil spirit on his body increased by another section.

"..."

Xu Qing was a little stunned. He just told a few words based on facts, but he didn't expect to indirectly let this ghost marshal break through the barrier.

But he thought about it and felt relieved. The strength of ghosts is mostly affected by resentment and obsession. It seems reasonable that vitality can make ghosts stronger.

I estimate that it won't be long before the strength of this Eight Banners Marshal will leap again.

It really is the more cruel the reality, the more incompetent the Dayong descendants, the greater the resentment of the predecessors!

However...

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze from the ghost marshal and fell on the wine cup in his hand.

Once Dayong really perishes, the Eight Banners Marshal will inevitably perceive it. By then, no matter how powerful this ghost army is and how high the ghost marshal's strength is, they will turn into dry bones and wind sand, completely disappearing in this place where no grass grows.

Grass has roots, water has sources. The reason why the Eight Banners Marshal exists is to rely on Dayong's national destiny and obsession with Dayong. If Dayong dies, they are really like duckweed without roots, and their "Dao" is no longer in their hearts.

Simply put, the lifespan of the Dayong Dynasty is the lifespan of this ghost army. If Dayong does not die, they will not die. It is a proper immortal army.

Returning light to shine, Xu Qing can fully predict that when Dayong is about to die, it must be the strongest time for this ghost army.

They cannot affect the dynasty's luck in the yang world, but they can burn out the last ray of flame on the Yinhe Ancient Road.

Xu Qing is very glad that he did not form a feud with this army highly bound to Dayong. At this juncture, whoever attracts the hatred of the Eight Banners Marshal, the ending will probably not be too beautiful.

Sure enough, the next moment Xu Qing heard the Eight Banners Marshal say: "Wherever Dayong's iron hooves reach, it is all the king's land. Although I am a minister, I cannot fight in the yang world, so I should abandon this body and clear the Yinhe remnants for the king!"

"The Yin-Eroding Dharma King was my nemesis when I was in the yang world. Even if Dayong is really at the point of life and death, I must kill him on the Yinhe Ancient Road, so that I can live up to the late emperor's high hopes!"

Xu Qing silently said "take care" to the Yin-Eroding Dharma King. Although this Dharma King and he had never met, just by relying on the other party's hundreds of years of rivalry with the Eight Banners Marshal without falling behind, it can be seen.

You know, the ghost marshal has the national destiny of Dayong as a reliance. The Yin-Eroding Dharma King can always wander on the Yinhe Ancient Road without being captured by the Eight Banners Marshal. Just this ability is not something that ordinary ghost kings can do.

"I have heard the marshal mention the name of the Yin-Eroding Dharma King several times. I don't know who this person is?"

The indigo cloak behind the ghost marshal fluttered in the wind. He looked south, and his hoarse voice was full of hatred: "The foot of Yin Mountain, the land of Nancuo, the king and witch of those barbarian witch soldiers, the Great Witch Yin-Eroding Po Nan, and the Pangzan Dharma King."

"Pangzan Dharma King is the king supported by Nancuo. This person is extremely despicable and shameless. When I conquered the south during my lifetime, how could Nancuo be the opponent of my Eight Banners soldiers? Pangzan Dharma King knew he couldn't win, abandoned the capital and fled south. I led the army to pursue for a thousand miles, but accidentally fell into the same-life insect curse of the Po Nan witch of the Dharma King's department."

"Anyone who is cursed will live and die together with the caster. If one insect withers, the other will die. If the cursed person is stabbed by a knife, the other party will feel it."

The ghost marshal's eyes were burning with ghost fire. Even if the matter had passed for hundreds of years, he still found it difficult to let go.

"I saw that this curse could not be broken, so I asked the National Teacher to use his own way to treat him. At that time, I happened to have the sacrificial stele of the Nancuo King Pangzan. The blood stele was written by Pangzan with blood sacrifice to heaven when he became king."

"I ordered the God-Walking Official to take Pangzan's blood text and a mouthful of my essence blood, and return to the imperial capital to ask the National Teacher to cast a spell."

Xu Qing asked curiously: "What spell did the National Teacher cast?"

"I don't know. Not long after the God-Walking Official returned to the capital, I died in Nancuo." The ghost marshal turned his head and asked the vanguard officer who was drinking and washing his bones: "A-Shi! What spell did the National Teacher cast back then?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, it is the Yin-Yang Co-existence Contract. After the Marshal died back then, the Nancuo Pangzan Dharma King and Yin-Eroding Po Nan also came to the Yinhe."

"..."

This operation... Xu Qing was amazed!

He always thought that the Yin-Eroding Dharma King was one person, but he didn't expect it to be two people, and they were two dead people who lived and died with the Eight Banners Marshal.

This is really a nemesis. No wonder the Eight Banners Marshal's obsession is so deep. ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
