Twenty-three years ago, Zou Yue led his army in the west to move to the west according to the order.

Zou Yue brought his beloved wife and Zou Liang, who was less than one year old, to move with the army. This was originally a very simple operation, and the army didn't have to go too far, let alone fight, just set up camp in another place. However, no one expected that this simple migration would send the 100,000 troops on the road of no return.

That night, the wind was not strong, the desert was extremely calm, the clouds were clear, the moon was bright, which was very suitable for night walking.

Zou Yue was riding on the horse, with a carriage behind him, in which his wife was holding her sleeping young son.

Just when the large army marched along the Ghost Sea, suddenly some soldiers began to stir up, and some stopped to watch, looking at the direction of the Ghost Sea.

Zou Yue stopped the people and looked at the place where everyone was looking, and was shocked by the scene in front of her.

In the sea of ​​ghosts, a city appeared!

The city was extremely majestic, with lights in the city, and there seemed to be water waves around it, and there were boats?

However, just when Zou Yue was studying whether the city really existed or was just a mirage... Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by. The strong wind blew the heavy clouds and the city disappeared instantly...

All this happened in an instant, and the city almost disappeared immediately as soon as it appeared.

Zou Yue found it incredible. Although he was a military general, he had a very good understanding of geography and the customs of the Western Xia. He had heard some local old men say that the sea of ​​ghosts was very dangerous, not only yellow sand, but also others.

Although Zou Yue was very curious, he had military orders, not to mention that he was still with his family, so he did not move in to take risks and ordered the soldiers to continue moving forward.

But after walking for a while, suddenly several soldiers came to report, saying, "Deputy General Gao took hundreds of people without authorization and ran into the ghost sea."

Zou Yue was stunned.

This deputy general Gao is real name Gao Tian. This person has a very strange personality. Before joining the army, he was originally a wise man. Not to mention, he did know a lot of strange things. In addition, he is also good at kung fu, but he is a little gloomy and has little talkative words on weekdays.

Gao Tian left his post while marching, and left without permission with his subordinates. This was simply a death sentence that could be beheaded. Zou Yue felt something was strange, so he ordered the army to stop first and not go forward, and found someone familiar to Gao Tian camp to ask.

Several generals and officials in Gaotian Camp said that he had trusted people who Gaotian took away.

Zou Yue was even more strange, "Did he not prepare to come out after he went in or what does it mean?"

Finally, a soldier who was a fellow villager with Gao Tian told Zou Yue that Gao Tian had worked as a tomb robber. He remembered that once, when Gao Tian was drinking with him, he mentioned that there was another treasure in the sea of ​​ghosts, and it was an amazing treasure.

Zou Yue frowned when he heard this - it turned out that Gao Tian was born as a tomb robber. Needless to ask, he probably knew something about the city that appeared in the sea of ​​ghosts just now. So he had a bad idea.

After all, Gao Tian took away more than a hundred people, and these were all soldiers in his army. Zou Yue had to explain. However, the terrain of the Ghost Sea was complex and it was not so easy to get in.

Zou Yue was in a dilemma when suddenly a soldier escaped.

It was a soldier, covered in blood, as if he was seriously injured. He ran out stumbled and was brought to see Zou Yue by other soldiers.

The soldier was Gao Tian's subordinate. He said that Gao Tian and his team were attacked not long after entering the Ghost Sea. The attackers were a group of black monsters... and asked Zou Yue to send troops to save Gao Tian.

Zou Yue didn't want to agree, but the soldier begged hard. After all, the other soldiers were innocent, and according to the soldier, they were attacked on the edge of the ghost sea.

At this time, several deputy generals asked for their mission, saying that they were willing to go in and save Gao Tian.

Zou Yue had no choice but to agree and asked them to bring the arrows for contact, and at the same time they would light the smoke for contact on the periphery to prevent them from getting lost.

Afterwards, the three deputy generals brought five thousand elite soldiers into the Ghost Sea.

But Zou Yue and the others waited outside and waited - no one came out.

Now Zou Yue couldn't sit still. The three deputy generals were not low, and the five thousand elite soldiers were not small, so they disappeared without a clarity. How to explain when they go back

Zou Yue then brought his subordinates and another 10,000 people into the Ghost Sea to find those subordinates.

After entering the Ghost Sea, Zou Yue and the others were blown away by the strong wind and then attacked by black monsters.

However, when Zou Yue was fighting several black monsters, he found that they were actually wearing Song Jun's costumes. Although one of them had become neither human nor ghost, he recognized it at a glance that it was Gao Tian!

Gao Tian seemed to have turned into a ghost, and he couldn't wake up even if he screamed.

At this time, an injured soldier came to help Zou Yue. It was a deputy general who had come in before. He blocked Zou Yue, "General, go quickly! Don't be bitten by those monsters, if you bite, it will become like them!"

Zou Yue was stunned and suddenly remembered the soldier who ran out to the barracks for help.

Zou Yue had a premonition that something might happen to the military camp waiting outside, so she wanted to go out quickly, but the direction in the ghost sea was chaotic and there were many quicksand pits everywhere, and the sky was dark. Fortunately, Zou Yue had been through the battlefield for a long time and was relatively calm. He didn't know how much time he had spent to distinguish the direction clearly. He found the smoke from the edge of the ghost sea, and quickly ran out with the remaining people.

However, the scene I saw when I arrived at the edge of the Ghost Sea shocked Zou Yue.

It was seen that his entire military camp was in chaos, with black monsters running around, and the soldiers were in chaos, some were killed, some were fighting against monsters, and more were bitten and ran to bite people. For a moment, the entire military camp was like a purgatory on earth.

Zou Yue rushed into the camp and found his wife's carriage, but there was no one in the car except for blood.

Zou Yue searched like crazy... Finally, he found his wife's body not far away, near the edge of the Ghost Sea, but the child disappeared.

Zou Yue looked for Zou Liang all the way, and saw that the military camp was in chaos. In the end, someone set fire in the military camp... Strangely, together with the fire, the black monsters rushed into the sea of ​​ghosts as if they were frightened, and soon disappeared.

Zou Yue counted the remaining number and found that more than half of the casualties were killed or injured, and most of the remaining ones turned into monsters and ran into the ghost sea. Basically, those who survived were generals and officials with great skill, with less than 20,000 people.

At this time, almost all the troops were wiped out. Zou Yue lost his wife and son, was heartbroken and had no face to return to the military camp. The other generals knew that even if they went back like this, they would be a serious crime.

In addition, most of the military camps are brothers who are like brothers, and they die inexplicably or become ghosts. How do you explain to the family members when you go back? If you don’t get revenge, you are not a gentleman. What are those black monsters? Will they come out to attack other people?

Finally, the remaining people discussed it and decided to go into the ghost sea to find out what was going on.

The soldiers cleaned up the camp so as not to leave any clues.

The remaining people were divided into two factions, one was represented by Zou Yue. After they wanted to go in and find out, they would go back to apologize.

The other faction did not want to die, and felt that they had done nothing wrong at all. If they could still come out after entering the ghost sea, they would run away quietly, hoping that Zou Yue would not report them so that they could save their lives.

So everyone pushed the military tents, carriages and other things into the Ghost Sea together, and in this way... the entire Western Lu Army disappeared.

After Zou Yue entered the Ghost Sea, she experienced similar experiences as before. They would kill black monsters when they saw them, and would never show any mercy.

Zou Yue once again found Gao Tian who had become a monster. After killing him, he found something from him, which was a map of the ghost sea.

Zou Yue followed the route on the map and took his men and brought all the last supplies left in the barracks, crossed the "Storm Belt" and entered the boundary of the "Miscity".

The overall structure of the mystical city is similar to the city they saw outside. However, the mystical city is inverted day and night with the outside world, and the whole city is not as beautiful as it looks outside. There are ruins everywhere, and there is also a large sea of ​​sand. When you step on it, the sand feels like sea water. You can even feel the waves on your feet, and you don’t know what the principle is.

As they went deeper, they encountered more and more black monsters, and many of them were once their brothers and sisters.

At the same time, water and food are getting less and less. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large. The morning is hot and cold at night is getting sick. Zou Yue misses his wife and children on the one hand, and is too sad and in a trance, and eventually becomes sick. He begins to have hallucinations and often hears the crying of children, while fewer and fewer people are following him, and in the end, there are only a thousand people left.

Just as they experienced countless battles, finally crossed the sea of ​​sand, and walked to the inside of the maze exhausted, they found that there was also a harsh war inside.

Those black monsters, and some red people, were fighting.

When Zou Yue and the others entered the maze, they saw more than a dozen people in red-haired and red clothes surrounded by a group of monsters. So Zou Yue took the people to help the group of people in red.

Zou Yue's eyes were red when he killed the last monster, and after slashing it, he fainted from illness.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Zou Yue woke up, he heard the baby’s cry again.

Zou Yue opened her eyes and several familiar figures appeared in front of her, who were his subordinates.

"General, look!" When a subordinate saw Zou Yue awaken, he quickly handed him a baby in his hand to him.

Zou Yue was stunned and bounced off the bed with a "huo" and all the illness was cured. The subordinate was holding his lost child - Zou Liang!

Zou Yue hugged her intact son and felt that she had come alive. She asked in detail and his subordinates told him that it was the men in red who saved them.

At this time, several men in red walked in. One of the leaders could speak Chinese, while the others didn't know what they were saying, and Zou Yue couldn't understand.

The leader in red told Zou Yue that they were all from the Sand Demon Clan and the last gatekeepers of the Mysterious City, and the black monsters that attacked them were the Sand Nobles. The Sand Demon Clan and the Sand Ghost Clan had been fighting in the sea of ​​ghosts for nearly a hundred years. Originally, Sand Ghost could be killed, but people who were ignorant of the sky and the earth kept coming in. Once they were bitten by the Sand Ghost, they became members of the Sand Ghost, so they could not be wiped out completely.

When Zou Yue asked about Zou Liang, the leader told him that the child fell into the eyes of the quicksandra, and was finally picked up by the people from the Sand Demon Clan and brought it back. Just so happened that the leader's wife gave birth to a son, so the two of them raised them together.

The leader of the Sand Demon Clan asked Zou Liang about the causes and consequences of their entry into the Ghost Sea. Zou Yue turned out to have an army of 100,000, many of them died. Conservatively, there were at least 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers who turned into Sand Ghosts. After their clearance these days, both sides suffered casualties and wounded deaths and injuries. In the end, they were almost wiped out, leaving only a thousand people. The number of Sand Ghosts was estimated to have to be tens of thousands.

So, the leader of the Demon Killing Clan proposed to cooperate with Zou Yue.

Both sides have their own strengths. The Sand Demon Clan has an advantage, that is, they are not afraid of being bitten, and they are very skilled in medical skills, but their kung fu is average.

Zou Yue's men were afraid of being bitten, but they were all very good at kung fu. The sand demon clan was familiar with the terrain. Both sides cooperated to kill all the sand ghosts so as not to cause harm to others again.

In this way, Zou Yue decided to cooperate with the Sand Demon Clan.

However, on the day when the two sides decided to join forces, the sand ghost launched an attack on the sand demon clan. During the melee between the two sides, Zou Yue was seriously injured, and Zou Liang and the children of the sand demon leader were both snatched away by the sand ghost. At the critical moment, Zou Yue shot an arrow and shot the leader's child's cradle. The arrow took the child into the quicksand pit.

The sand ghost who snatched Zou Liang was also killed by the people from the Sand Demon Clan, and Zou Liang rolled into another quicksand pit. In this way, both children disappeared.

After a melee, the sand ghost disappeared into the sea of ​​ghosts and temporarily disappeared. Zou Yue and the Sha Demon Clan failed to find two children. They picked up two children, one was Zou Liang and the other was Lin Yehuo.

After that, Zou Yue and the Sha Demon clan lived in the sea of ​​ghosts. Zou Yue had thought Zou Liang was dead earlier, so she had no choice but to kill all the sand ghosts to avenge their wives and children and the soldiers.

A few years later, Zou Yue adapted to life in the Ghost Sea, learned to distinguish directions, and became familiar with the terrain of the Ghost Sea. With the help of the Sand Demon Clan, he successfully got out of the Ghost Sea.

Zou Yue once sneaked back to the military camp quietly, but it had been seven or eight years since he disappeared.

However, what surprised Zou Yue was that he discovered that Zou Liang was still alive and was adopted by his good brothers and grew up healthily.

At the same time, good news came from the Sand Demon Clan. The child of the Sand Demon leader was also alive. He was adopted by the eminent monk Master Wusha, named Lin Yehuo, and lived very well.

So, Zou Yue, who was almost heartbroken, started the exam again.

Zou Yue returned to the Ghost Sea. At this time, the wife of the leader of the Sand Demon Clan had just given birth to a daughter, but died of illness due to difficult labor. The Sand Demon Clan was very affectionate, and the leader was depressed and died of illness not long after.

Before his death, the leader of the sand demon entrusted the orphan Zou Yue to ask him to raise the little sand demon and teach her the Chinese language.

The fate of the Sand Demon Clan is very miserable. She must always live in the ghost sea to protect this maze made of death. The Sand Demon leader does not want his daughter to continue living like this in the future. He asks Zou Yue to kill all the sand ghosts and hand over his daughter to Lin Yehuo, who has grown up, and asks his brother to take care of his sister, stay away from the ghost sea and live a normal life. When his daughter becomes an adult, she will find a normal person to reproduce and break the bloodline of the Sand Demon Clan, and no longer have to be miserable by fate.

Zou Yue agreed to his request, and later he became the leader of the Sand Demon Clan and the former subordinates who still lived in the Mysterious City. Over the years, they have been chasing Sand Ghosts. Sand Ghosts are a very mysterious existence. When the number is less than a certain amount, they will go out to attack others and increase their own number. Do you say they are monsters without wisdom? But it seems that they are not, but they are wise, right? They are almost completely unable to communicate.

Over the past twenty years, Zou Yue has actually been paying attention to the growth of Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang, and is pleased with the achievements they have achieved. At the same time, the twenty years of life in the mystical city have also allowed Zou Yue to know many ancient and little-known secrets.

The above is what Zou Yue simply told everyone about her own experience, the mystery of the disappearance of the army in the West Lun, as well as the life experiences of Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang.

After saying that, Zou Yue said to Lin Yehuo very apologetically, "Your parents passed away, and they have more or less something to do with me..."

Lin Yehuo was very calm, "This is the fate of the Sand Demon Clan. What does it have to do with you? If you don't expect that I would also fight monsters in the desert. My fate was impossible, but your appearance changed the life of the Sand Demon Clan! It was a turning point and a will."

Everyone nodded. Lin Yehuo is worthy of being a master of Master Wusha, and is transparent and open-minded.

Zhao Pu touched his chin and asked Zou Yue, "How many sand ghosts are there?"

"No more than twenty! They are dead end!" Zou Yue said with great certainty.

"But, it should be more than that now." Zhan Zhao spoke.

Everyone frowned.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes, Xixia and Liao, I just sent hundreds of people in."
Chapter completed!
