Chapter 827 The First Battle of Ghosts and Demons 2
The battle continued. No matter day or night, the ghost clan would attack. Their numbers seemed to be endless. They didn't care about consumption at all. After several days, their attack momentum did not weaken at all.

When Xie Xiaoyu was guarding Wucheng, he had never seen such a scene. There were also a lot of barbarians, but they couldn't keep attacking. They would charge two or three times a day at most, and the total amount of time would not exceed one and a half hours.

"I can't take it anymore." Shu complained from the side: "This battle is impossible to fight. There is no end to it. Those ghosts can't be killed."

The old fox on the other side was also full of exhaustion: "I also don't think it can go on like this. Although the results are brilliant, our losses are not small. It's really not worthwhile to fight a war of attrition with the ghost clan."

"I don't care." Lai rubbed his bald head with a smile on his face: "This guy should also be very cool."

The guy Lai was talking about was of course Xie Xiaoyu.

The body of the demon is not a body of flesh and blood, it is quite similar to a ghost, so it will not get tired. Besides, Xie Xiaoyu has the ability to devour, and those ghosts are definitely a rare food for him.

Ghosts are spiritual bodies, and after being devoured, the power of mind increases, so the more ghosts swallowed, the more spirited Xie Xiaoyu will be.

In fact, the same is true for leprosy. Beings with devouring characteristics are best at wars of attrition, because they will become stronger and braver as they fight.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't speak.

He really didn't feel tired, but he wasn't as happy as Lei. The war in front of him made him feel like he had returned to Beiwang City, the war with the barbarians, that boring war with no end in sight.

"You have something to say!" Shu pushed Xie Xiaoyu.

"Don't worry, it will be better next time." Xie Xiaoyu shrugged.

"Why do you think so?" Shu wondered.

The old fox next to him also pricked up his ears, he wanted to hear Xie Xiaoyu's explanation.

"Ling just reported that ghosts have been found in the rear." Xie Xiaoyu said.

"What do you mean?" Shu lazy to use his brain.

"That is to say, the ghost clan has realized that we are a hard bone, and they don't plan to continue to gnaw hard. They will soon divide their forces and attack our rear directly." Xie Xiaoyu explained.

Shu jumped up suddenly: "How can this work?"

"Our side is under siege, and there is nothing wrong with them. The number of big monsters on their side is no less than ours, and there are hundreds of millions of ordinary monsters. Beiwang City is protected by miasma poisonous gas. New Linhai City is located to the south. , there are 34 fortresses in the north, and if the ghosts want to attack, they will attack them first, so there will be no problem." Xie Xiaoyu cheered on.

"His Royal Highness is really fine, only Tianle City is in a hurry." A female soldier interrupted from below.

"As the saying goes, children who cry have milk." Xie Xiaoyu sneered: "They just want His Highness to help them share some pressure."

"As you said at the beginning, the three big cities in the north are blocked, and a series of fortresses become the second line of defense. The seven main cities will no longer be disturbed, but now the ghosts are attacking from all directions, and the people in each main city are in panic. "Shu was a little embarrassed.

"That only means that we hurt the ghost clan." Xie Xiaoyu said lightly: "Think about it, why is there nothing wrong with Zhongtu? Why didn't the ghost clan divide their troops and attack the city behind?"

Scratching his head, he realized that the battle conditions in Zhongtu and Tianbao Prefecture were completely different. Over there, the Sixth Route Army was besieged, but the ghost clan did not divide their troops to go south. Here, the lone army went deep, and the ghost clan prepared to divide their troops instead.

"Maybe... because we are too strong." Shu could only smile wryly, his smile was uglier than crying.

"Should we consider withdrawing our troops?" The old fox asked from the side: "We played very well, much better than Middle Earth."

"Wait a little longer." Xie Xiaoyu smiled: "Wait until the ghost clan divides its troops to go south, wait until the rear is attacked, and wait for the people behind to fight against the ghost clan, and have tasted the power of the ghost clan, then we will withdraw our troops."

"Why?" The old fox's eyes widened.

"Of course it's military training." Xie Xiaoyu said bluntly: "The previous catastrophes ranged from hundreds of years to thousands of years, and became more intense as they progressed. Now the catastrophe has just begun, and everyone must get used to it."

Shu and the old fox clicked their lips, savoring Xie Xiaoyu's words.

They had to admit that what they said was indeed reasonable. If they didn't train their troops now, they would have no chance later.

Seeing that the two were silent, Xie Xiaoyu went on to say: "Besides, we used means to dismantle that loose alliance, and those guys had no choice but to join us, but they must not be convinced in their hearts. I just want to take this opportunity now. Let the guys with ideas come out on their own."

"You boy." Shu didn't know how to say it.

"Too good at calculating, really too good at calculating." The old fox muttered to himself, he had already made up his mind that he would never be an enemy of Xie Xiaoyu in the future.

"It's not a scheming, but a proper precaution." Xie Xiaoyu disapproved: "Although the ghost race is very strong, I'm not afraid of them, but those behind-the-scenes gangsters, all kinds of hindrances, made me quite troubled."

The old fox stopped talking for a moment.

Like Xie Xiaoyu, he climbed up from the bottom step by step, and he has experienced such things a lot.

It is also rare for Toad to become dignified. He also came from the bottom, but his experience is different from these two. His early years were bumpy, and after awakening the blood of Toad swallowing the sky, he immediately ascended to the sky, and no one dared to provoke him, so his The feeling is not as deep as these two.

Shu was not so good. He came from a good background and had never experienced such ups and downs. At most, he had seen some ghostly deeds in the past few years, but because Xie Xiaoyu was around, he didn't need to worry about it.

But he could also understand Xie Xiaoyu's mood.

Sometimes the enemy is not terrible, but it is our own people who are terrible.

They didn't notice that there was a hint of a smile on Xie Xiaoyu's mouth.

This feeling is not true, his real purpose is to let the monster race and the ghost race consume each other.

On the other side, in another fleet, human think tanks like Zhu Yuanji and He Datou are also working hard

"The ghost clan is powerful, I think we should retreat in time, lest when the time comes, we can't leave even if we want to."

"Is this necessary? Both sides are our enemies. We should take this opportunity to consume the strength of both sides as much as possible. At most, let Nephew Xie bring back his men."

"You can't say that. Nephew Xie has tried everything possible to win over these monster clan forces. They are not in the same mind with the upper class of the monster clan. They may become our allies in the future. This force should be preserved as much as possible."

"That's true, but there are still a large number of uncontrollable lords there. It's not only useless to keep them, but also prevent them from making trouble. I think it's better to use the hands of the ghosts to kill them."

The group argued fiercely.

The series of countermeasures formulated by Xie Xiaoyu were not his own decisions, but the result of everyone's joint research. Each step required repeated deduction and calculations to ensure that there was no danger.

That is not an ordinary calculation. Now all the people who are good at easy calculation in the Dunyi League are gathered together, and Zhu Yuanji is in charge.Among these people are not only Dao Lords, but also Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals.Every calculation, they do their own thing, from different angles.

This is done to prevent the enemy from inverting yin and yang and disturbing the secrets of heaven.

Since the establishment of this organization, Xie Xiaoyu and the others can be regarded as exhaustive, which is why he dared to sneak into the Yaozu alone.

"It would be great if all the monster races in Tianbao Prefecture followed the path of God." An old man sighed, his eyes fixed on Xie Xiaoyu all the time.

This is not just a sigh, but also a suggestion, and even a temptation.

As long as he walks the path of the divine way, he is bound to this world and truly becomes "one of his own", but this needs to be done by Xie Xiaoyu, and the risk is not small.

Of course Xie Xiaoyu understood that he didn't intend to accept it: "Twisted melons are not sweet. If I propose this way, it will definitely arouse suspicion. I think it's better to subtly."

He does it all the time.

Those monsters around him, such as Shu Hejue, only got the reflection of the heavenly way at the beginning, and their abilities were strengthened a lot, but they didn't choose the way of the divine way.

The mapping of the Dao of Heaven is equivalent to a seed. To truly become a towering tree, it still depends on their own efforts.

However, there is also a shortcut, if they choose the path of the divine way and use the power of will to comprehend, it will be much easier to comprehend, and the speed will be astonishingly fast.

Shu, Jue, Qingyu, Jiaojiao... none of the demons around him could resist the temptation, and finally embarked on the path of the gods. Now even Lei is a little bit tempted, but this guy is a sky demon, so he is embarrassed to ask him Open your mouth.

"If you don't try it, how will you know if it will work?" The Taoist Lord was obviously a little too eager.

Xie Xiaoyu smiled slightly, but his smile was a little cold.

"How about this, your Excellency also get a clone to go there, but don't go to Tianbao Prefecture, I'm enough there, you go back to Middle-earth to develop." He replied jokingly.

Watching other people do things is natural and easy.Xie Xiaoyu has never had a good impression of this kind of person.

"Whoever proposes is responsible." Big Head He chimed in.

"I'm just talking, don't worry about it." The old man quickly found a step by himself,

"Instead of thinking so far, it's better to look at the present first." Zhu Yuanji quickly stood up to smooth things over. The old man was also from a sect, so he was on his side.

To be honest, he also has a headache for these old guys, maybe because he is used to pointing fingers in their respective sects, and he shows his face here from time to time, but he doesn't want to think, who are they facing?

This young man is not their junior, and because he was betrayed by his master, he doesn't have the slightest respect for his elders.

"The front is all opening, and the next is the main text." Zhu Yuanji returned to the subject, and asked Xie Xiaoyu with great concern: "The next thing is not small, the danger is not small, how sure are you?"

"The ghost clan is quite chaotic, and it's not difficult to sneak in, but if you want to enter their core area for reconnaissance, it's best to dress up as a ghost clan, and it would be even better if you can pretend to be a ghost clan." Xie Xiaoyu said.

This time he led the army of the demon clan to the north, fighting to the death without retreating. Apart from letting the demon clan and the ghost clan consume each other, another purpose was to find out the details of the ghost clan.

Zhu Yuanji smiled slightly: "People can be taken away, demons can be taken away, but ghosts can't?"

"The ghost of seizing the house?" Xie Xiaoyu was taken aback, he had never thought about it.

Seizing the house means expelling the original soul and forcibly occupying the other party's physical body.Ghosts are originally composed of souls, and the two are fundamentally one, so how could it be possible to seize the body?

However, in Zhu Yuanji's capacity, it is impossible to talk nonsense without any basis.

"What did you figure out?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.

"The ancestors may have clues." Zhu Yuanji said uncertainly. He only saw a vague possibility and didn't dare to guarantee it.

"I happen to have something to ask them." Xie Xiaoyu immediately said that he did have something related to the ghost baby.

The ancestors of the true immortals had a special boat. There was a hole in the boat, white clouds above the head, the earth under the feet, surrounded by bamboo forests, evergreen pines and cypresses, gurgling water in the distance, rushing endlessly, fish playing in the water, and butterflies and cicadas dancing on the shore. Ming.

These are not illusions, everything is real, created by these true immortal ancestors with great mana.

A wave of light flickered, and Xie Xiaoyu walked out from the void.

"Why do you have time to come here, little guy?" A group of old men happened to be playing chess next to them. When they reached the Realm Realm, they no longer needed to retreat. Walking and sleeping were all about cultivation, fishing and playing chess were all about enlightenment.

The so-called "immortals have long days and moons" does not just refer to lifespan, but more to mean that they have leisure.

"I just heard from senior Zhu that the ancestors have a way to take away ghosts, so I came here to ask for advice." Xie Xiaoyu cut to the chase.

"Seize the ghost?"

"Who knows this?"

"Do you still need to ask? It must be those old ghosts from Beiyan Mountain."

Those real immortals stopped playing chess and raised their heads one after another.

"Who's talking about us?" An old voice came from a distance.

"Old ghost, your ears are really sharp." The old chess player holding the white piece laughed and cursed, and then he shouted: "You guys are experts at playing ghosts, who among you can take away ghosts?"

"Seizing the ghost? There is no such thing at all." The real fairy called the old ghost replied.

"Zhu Yuanji, Uncle Zhu asked me to come here. He figured out that there is a clue here." Xie Xiaoyu quickly explained the reason for this.

"Xiao Zhu really said that?" The real fairy called the old ghost asked again from the air.

"Aren't you tired of talking like this? Come here." The old man with the sunspot snorted.

In the next moment, a sallow, emaciated, skinny old man stood in front of Xie Xiaoyu. This real fairy was moved here, but it was like walking in a garden, without the slightest smoke, let alone mana fluctuations.

"He's not a person who talks nonsense." A real fairy who was watching chess next to him helped to speak, and then added: "Xiao Zhu is too."

"Ghosts are transformed by souls. To seize a house is to expel souls. Ghosts seize people. I often hear that people seize ghosts. This is a bit new." The skinny old man shook his head repeatedly.

"What if it's not a ghost, but a spirit body like a living thing?" Xie Xiaoyu asked: "That thing has flesh and blood, complete with internal organs, everything is no different from a human, except that its flesh and blood are all condensed from Yin Qi .”

"It turned out to be this." The skinny old man suddenly realized: "I have to ask Lao Chang."

As he spoke, he grabbed it sharply.

His hand disappeared in an instant, and then an old man came out. The old man was dressed like an old farmer, holding a dustpan in his hand with yellow rice in it, and he was probably feeding something.

"Why? What are you doing?" the old farmer kept yelling.

"You seem to have mentioned a special kind of ghost, which looks like a ghost but not a ghost, a person who is not a human, a dead person who is not dead, and a living person who is not alive." The skinny old man said.

"What? Have you really found this kind of thing?" The old farmer put away the dustpan casually.

"Tell me first, what is this thing, let us all learn more." The old chess player put down the chess pieces and listened with great interest.

The same goes for other true immortals.

The old farmer pondered for a moment, and then said: "I once read a legend in an ancient book: When the Dao of Heaven was first established, I wanted to create a stable world composed of humans, ghosts and gods. The 'human' in this refers to It is all living beings, people become ghosts after death, some ghosts will enter reincarnation, and some ghosts will transform into gods, these gods have a long life span and great magic power, obey the order of heaven, and maintain the operation of this world." Suddenly he He laughed: "Other than that, immortals, Buddhas, demons, and demons are not needed by the Dao of Heaven."

All the immortals looked at each other.

Suddenly a true immortal burst into laughter: "Isn't this nonsense? Although the term 'heaven, earth, human, ghosts and gods' has existed since ancient times, but that god refers to witches and gods, that is, innate spirits and monsters."

"That's not necessarily the case." The old man holding the sunspot shook his head: "This legend makes sense...but the ghosts were expelled by the Dao of Heaven. How can this be justified?"

"Because the way of heaven failed." The old farmer gave the answer immediately.

He went on to say: "According to the ancient book, Tiandao has tried to create gods several times. The first time was in ancient times, during the war between human and monsters. He transformed the human race and demon race who died in battle into God, but these gods are unwilling to be controlled by the way of heaven. The so-called gate of heaven is not because the way of heaven cannot be repaired, so they simply split it, but the way of heaven is used to imprison those gods.

In ancient times, Heaven tried to create gods again.This time it used ordinary ghosts to create gods, but unfortunately it failed. The reason is unknown, only that the result was so serious that it had to expel all ghosts to the underworld.

Then came the Great Tribulation of the Ancient Shinto, which was the last time to create a god, but the result was still not very successful.

The so-called gods act in accordance with the sky, while immortals, Buddhas, and demons act against the sky.The same is to gain longevity, the former is easy to come by, but it is controlled by the way of heaven.The latter has freedom, but it is extremely difficult. "

The old farmer sighed very much. For some reason, his expression looked extremely lonely. There was obviously another story in it.

Everyone was lost in thought.

While thinking, the old man holding Heizi said: "People, ghosts and gods, the lifespan of a human is only a hundred years. When a person dies as a ghost, the lifespan of a ghost is much longer, but it is only a thousand years. At that time, he will either be reincarnated or be annihilated in ashes. Longevity and long-term vision can only become gods.

Immortals, Buddhas and monsters want to live forever, they have to work hard and plunder the essence of heaven and earth.God is different. From the point of view of Shinto, all that is needed to become a god is the power of will, and the power of wish comes from people.

If it is really successful, the system is indeed solid. "

"What do you think?" An old man next to him asked Xie Xiaoyu.

Xie Xiaoyu was awakened, he was thinking just now.

"I don't know." He shook his head blankly, and suddenly he looked straight: "I just want to know if there is a way to seize that thing?"

The old farmer shook his head: "I don't know." Then he remembered something: "Perhaps you can ask those evil cultivators. Although I am familiar with ghosts in Beiyan Mountain, my research is on catching and controlling ghosts. We deal with them." They are all ready-made ghosts. Evil cultivators are different. They not only raise ghosts, but also often use various vicious methods to create ghosts."
