All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Under the gaze of everyone, the corpses lying in a row, holding hands, actually sat up from the ground!
Their burned corpses were already covered with scorched skin and withered bones. They walked with staggering steps, holding hands like those of the inner guards, forming a wall of corpses.

"Fake corpse, this is an innocent soul defrauding corpse!"

The crowd immediately screamed and ran out, and even the tall inner guards had a look of fear on their faces.

This was in broad daylight, with the sun above their heads, and these corpses actually started to move.

Anyone who looks at it will feel their scalp numb.

Shen Ji was no stranger to this kind of scene.

He quickly raised his eyes and looked at Shen Lingxi, "Damn girl, are you pretending to be a ghost again?"

Shen Lingxi looked surprised.

"Marquis Shen, if you have an eye disease, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. What does it have to do with me being so far away from them?"

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "You didn't kill these people, did you? Look, they are all heading for you!"

As if to confirm Shen Lingxi's words, those charred corpses walked hand in hand in the direction of Shen Ji!

Shen Ji's pupils suddenly tightened.

Although these people were ordered by the emperor, they were really his leading people.

Could it be possible...that they were really seeking revenge by pretending to be corpses?

Shen Ji looked at the corpse getting closer and closer to him in confusion, and secretly tightened the handle of the knife at his waist.

The inner guards behind him had already run away because of Shen Lingxi's words.

The only living person standing in front of the ruins of the Cold Palace was Xuanping Marquis Shen Ji.

Some of the more courageous ones who ran far away saw that the charred corpse had not followed them, so they braved their courage and walked back, looking in the direction of Shen Ji with fear and curiosity.

Although the charred corpses were stumbling, their steps were not slow because they were holding hands.

Soon, they held hands and surrounded Shen Ji, who was on guard but did not dare to move without permission.

Look at that scene, how weird and strange it is.

There is also a vague sense of absurd comedy.

Shen Ji pulled out the saber from his waist with a swipe, and said with a fierce expression: "Don't move, don't move at all, if you move again I will kill you!"

"Marquis Shen, every wrongdoer has his own debtor." Shen Lingxi paced, slowly took a few steps closer, and said loudly: "If these people are really not burned to death, but killed by you... I believe you There are also situations where you have no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to them. They are very generous, so if you kowtow, maybe they will forgive you."

Shen Ji spat in her direction.

This damn girl is very evil-minded.

These people were executed secretly by the emperor's order. In order not to be criticized by the ministers, they took this opportunity to deal with them in this way.

If he knelt down on these corpses in public, wouldn't it be a slap in the emperor's face?

This evil star just doesn't like him being such a good father.

The charred corpses seemed to be waiting for Shen Ji's answer and did not continue to close the circle they formed.

But this doesn't mean that they are afraid of the big knife in Shen Ji's hand.

"Marquis Shen, you see they are getting impatient with waiting. Do you want to kneel down?" Shen Lingxi asked lightly, "Based on my experience, the longer these ghosts are made to wait, the more ferocious they become... …Look at those soldiers under your command, they have been scared away a long time ago, and no one can help you.”

The thing that Shen Ji couldn't hear the most at this moment was Shen Lingxi's voice.

He was so evil that he smiled coldly at Shen Lingxi, then raised the big knife in his hand and chopped off the head of the charred corpse in front of him!

The swords of the inner guards are naturally very sharp.The head of the charred corpse was sliced ​​off by the big knife and flew directly into the grass.

When a person loses his head, he dies.

If the corpse had no head, it would most likely be unable to move.

This is the simple thought in Shen Ji's heart.

The situation in front of him was indeed similar to what he had guessed.

The scorched corpses all lowered their heads in unison, motionless, as if they were immobilized.

Shen Ji suddenly felt relieved and said loudly to Shen Lingxi, "Princess, these people are the heroes who put out the fire last night. Shen has only respect for them. Don't pretend to be here and confuse right and wrong! Shen will go now. Report to the Emperor and take part in your slander..."

However, before he could finish the last words, he felt a black shadow flash before his eyes.

Caught off guard, before he could react, a blackened hand grabbed his throat!
It was the charred corpse that had his head chopped off just now!
Shen Ji opened his eyes in disbelief.

Directly in front of him was a bowl-sized wound on the headless neck of the charred corpse.

Shen Ji had never seen such a horrifying scene in his life, and a chill suddenly appeared in the soles of his feet and went straight to his forehead.

So much so that although he clearly possesses martial arts skills, his whole body feels as if someone has tapped his acupuncture points, standing there stiffly.

While Shen Ji was stunned, the row of corpses held by the charred corpses in his left hand swarmed up very quickly.

I saw two charred corpses, one on the left and one on the right, kicking Shen Ji's legs hard.

There was a "click" sound, followed by a crisp sound of the joints.

Shen Ji "plopped" and knelt on the ground!
The severe pain made Shen Ji suddenly come back to his senses. He ignored the choked throat and slashed wildly with the big knife in his hand.

How could those scorched corpses resist the sharp blades of the inner guards?

People in the distance saw charred corpses surrounding Shen Ji. Within a few breaths, charred remains were flying out from the circle of gathered corpses.

One after another, charred corpses were laid to the ground, and everyone saw the big knife flying in Shen Ji's hand.

When two armies confront each other, once a friendly army has the upper hand, it can embolden their companions.

The inner guards who had escaped earlier saw Shen Ji slaying the evil spirits bravely, and they boldly approached.

And just when the internal guards were about to come within ten feet of Shen Ji and the group of charred corpses——

The scorched corpses suddenly fell to the ground like puppets whose strings had been withdrawn.

Shen Ji closed his eyes and slashed wildly. He felt that the blade in his hand was getting empty and he opened his eyes.

What he saw was the charred blackened stumps scattered across the ground.

This made him suddenly feel relieved.

At this moment, Shen Lingxi, who had been "watching" the excitement, walked up to Shen Ji with a smile.

"Marquis Shen is worthy of being the most trusted Marquis of Xuanping by the Emperor. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also has a kind heart towards the souls of the dead."

She said, pointing to Shen Ji's body, "Look, what I said, as long as you kneel down and repent to them, they will forgive you. They left, they have already forgiven you."

Shen Ji looked in the direction of her finger and realized that he was still kneeling on the ground.

"Damn girl, you..." He was extremely angry, yelling and trying to stand up...

However, as soon as he pushed his knees up, a sharp pain came, and he knelt down again uncontrollably...
