Chapter 557 The Hungry Ghost Army Arrives

The Hungry Ghost Army arrived in the Mingzhou Fucheng area in the early morning of the second day.

When groups of scrawny people in ragged clothes, holding broken guns and wooden sticks, and carrying iron backs, with eyes that seemed to glow with a faint blue light, appeared in the Mingzhou Fucheng area, everyone around them was terrified.

Seeing where they came from, the villages they passed were completely barren of grass, the grain vats were smashed, and the hundreds of people in the village who had not had time to escape seemed to have disappeared.

Before they arrived at Mingzhou Fucheng, they only looked up at the high city wall, then withdrew their gaze. They were just minding their own business. Then, at the edge of the city, large pots were raised, filled with broken firewood. Remove the door frames and panels to cook porridge and meat.

While it was still hot, some people's Adam's apples twitched, and they couldn't wait to rush forward to grab the food. They seemed not to be afraid of the heat at all. Some people were eating anxiously, but suddenly their necks got stuck and they fell to the ground.

The people around him seemed to turn a blind eye, but a group of people gathered around him, and soon, the man's body was no longer visible.

…

…

"What on earth is that?"

Yang Gong brought a group of troops and military advisor Jin Zuizi to take a look from a distance. Just by looking at it, he felt a little scared. Most of those people didn't look strong, nor did they look like they had been drilled. , just like homeless beggars.

But the dark aura on their bodies made people scared for no reason. Looking at their numb faces covered with a thick layer of dirt, they were instinctively afraid.

He gritted his teeth, took an arrow from the person next to him, fully loaded the bow, and shot towards the group of people who saw them appearing ten feet away, but there was no movement.

I saw those guys who seemed to move occasionally and looked more like dead people than living people. One of them should have fallen to the ground, but unexpectedly, those people didn't move until the arrow came in front of them, and then they suddenly opened their mouths and caught it.

Chewing slowly in his mouth, he chewed up the arrow shafts carefully and ate them. When the arrow clusters could not be chewed, he lowered his head and spit it into the fire.

From beginning to end, he didn't even bother to turn around and take a look, not caring who shot the arrow.

Life is both fragile and savage. The fragile part seems to fall to the ground and die at any time, but the savage part seems to have more lives ready to be destroyed at any time. Yang Gong, who was attacked by Hongxiang disciples, was also known for his evil nature in the past. It's far worse than them.

When he slowly lowered his bow, his eyes were a little surprised. He felt that what he saw in front of him looked human, but not human.

Scarier than ghosts, more evil than demons.

"That's a hungry ghost."

In response to Yang Gong's surprised inquiry, Tiezuizi next to him sighed lowly and said: "A hungry ghost who has been hungry for too long and has been eaten by force will not leave a grain of food wherever he goes. The bones will be chewed up."

"No matter how blessed the state is, it will be destroyed by their arrival. Now, they will no longer be full, and they will not be full until they die..."

"After all, only living people can have enough to eat, and they are no longer considered living people..."

"..."

He whispered, looking up at the distance of Mingzhou. In the morning mist, there were more and more ragged people. His voice was a little suppressed: "They should all come from Guanzhou." Come, I have some colleagues who have been watching them."

"It's just that they shouldn't have appeared in Mingzhou so soon. The time and route were wrong. I think some people helped them..."

"Those people are becoming more and more unruly."

"Although, these rules have been set by them from the beginning..."

…

…

At the same time, in Mingzhou Fucheng, the smoke of incense filled the whole city, giving the whole city, streets and alleys a gloomy and unreal temperament. Every family closed their doors and did not dare to show their heads, even if they were enshrined in their houses. The memorial tablets are also covered with black cloth.

I can't help but dream about my ancestor crying at night, saying that he is afraid that the master of the house will see him and transfer him to serve him.

But in this deserted street, where even the wine flags were unable to hang down, General Tianming was tied up and took the incense case in the city. After seeing the incense case, there sat a man wearing a robe and a sword. middle-aged man with sword.

General Tianming felt deeply for the deaths of the altar masters, and shouted angrily: "What do you really want? It was you who brought me to Mingzhou, and it was you who guaranteed this and that..."

"But in the end, the brothers around me are here one by one, but you want to take me back..."

"..."

"Shut up!"

In response to his noise, the middle-aged man behind the incense table slowly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "It was you who took the initiative and sacrificed evil things like the Bai'er Cauldron. Otherwise, how could you attract ghosts?" Catching a knife?"

"Not to mention him, even we can't tolerate you when we see such evil things."

"Now you are still complaining that your men died miserably. Do you know that if we hadn't invited the Lord to come and take you back to the city, even ten of you would have died long ago."

"..."

"I'm... dead?"

Zhong Benyi, the destined general, was clearly dissatisfied and gritted his teeth and said: "I know that you people also know some evil arts. It's not like I haven't seen any evil spells when I was in Guanzhou. When the soldiers and horses rush, They are all like lost dogs.”

"It's a pity that I was coaxed by you to come here. I have no roots and no bones. All the people I gathered under my hands are just a mob. If my troops were here, I would like to see who is like me in this Mingzhou land." Together!"

"..."

"Haha, what you said is not entirely unreasonable."

Hearing him gritting his teeth, the person behind the incense table sneered and said, "Taking advantage of the chaos in Guanzhou, the Truth Church did train a troop of soldiers. The word 'heavenly destiny' in your name, General Tianming, is not yours, but given by these soldiers."

"But since you said so, let's do as you wish. Go out and take a look. The hungry ghost army you've been thinking about is now outside the city."

"..."

"Hmm?"

When the general Tianming heard this, he suddenly looked up, his face full of disbelief.

When he entered Mingzhou earlier, he had always wanted to bring his 100,000 soldiers here, but these people didn't let him. In order to let these people survive, he had to agree.

Now that he heard it, he naturally didn't believe it. Even if these people changed their minds and were willing to let his people in, there might not be enough time. They were all starving people. This long journey, crossing states and counties, wouldn't it take a month?

"It is indeed outside the city."

The man next to him with a more gentle expression said: "Not only did your people bring it to you, but also the twelve demons in your sect."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly became cold and stern: "All the things you asked for are here, and the previous restrictions on you are no longer valid, but in this way, you should remember the thing we asked you to do, right?"

Facing this, General Tianming just raised his head suddenly, with disbelief on his face, but facing the other party's gaze, his breathing became heavier, and suddenly said: "I will kowtow to him."

"I can also give him my head... As long as you can do what you said..."

"..."

"What you asked for is simple for us..."

The person behind the incense table sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the rope tied to General Tianming was suddenly untied. He was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly jumped up.

Running all the way, he went straight out of the north gate of Mingzhou Prefecture City and saw the beggars all over the mountains and clusters of hungry ghosts.

"Are you really coming?"

He looked at these people, and even his eyes suddenly turned red.

And this indifferent hungry ghost, when he heard someone coming, he didn't even raise his head, until he vaguely felt something, slowly raised his head, and his face, which was numb to the point that all expressions had faded, showed some emotion.

Suddenly, he struggled to get up from the ground.

One by one, slowly, they struggled to crawl in front of him and kowtowed.

Starting from them, more people saw this general of destiny, and tried to pull their bodies to come to see him. On their stiff faces, some people tried to squeeze out a flattering smile, and struggled to take out a black lump from their arms.

It was a severed hand.

They kowtowed and presented this severed hand. After all, this was the only one who asked for food for them again and again when Guanzhou began to panic.

"Hehe, Hehe..."

Also in this silent oppression, suddenly there was a wild beast-like scream. From afar, there were cages wrapped in iron chains, pulled by dozens of horses, rolling and throwing into the crowd here.

Inside the cages were monsters with red eyes that looked like wild beasts.

This Tianming general abandoned the cow and stumbled towards them. He used all his strength to tear open the cage. The things inside almost rushed out and bit him.

But he didn't seem to feel any pain, just hugged their heads: "Brother, brother, it was me who asked you to stay and take care of these people. I didn't transport food back, so you should eat it."

These people slowly came to their senses, but finally recognized him. They retreated in panic and spit out the blood foam in their mouths.

With guilt on his face, he didn't dare to look up at him.

"Let's go!"

The general of destiny swept through the monsters coming out of the cages one by one, and then looked at the 30,000 hungry ghosts all over the mountains. The expression on his face changed from the previous pain and despair to an unprecedented cold and fierce expression: "Gather everyone!"

"I'll take you to have a full meal!"

"..."

Boom!

The 30,000 hungry ghosts began to move, and the invisible aura seemed to shake even the altar that covered the entire Mingzhou City.

"Second uncle, third uncle..."

In Mingzhou City, the cousin of the Hu family finally couldn't help it and looked behind the incense table: "If you really do this..."

"It's different from what we said when we just came here, and..."

"...Is there any room for return?"

"..."

"No."

The two uncles behind the incense table and the younger uncle standing next to the offerings looked at her when they heard the words, and smiled faintly: "If he doesn't want to meet us, we have no choice."

"He is a child, and he got the evil spirit suppression house, then we have to see if he really knows how to use it!"
