After figuring it out, Dunshan's restless heart calmed down a lot, and said to Zhong Kui: "My lord is right, maybe when we lead the army back to the primeval era, the war provoked by the White Ape Clan has just begun. It's just that I've spent so many years in the barren forest, and I don't know ......."

Zhong Kui comforted him and said, "Don't worry, according to the oracle that appeared in the book of life and death, the time you were plagued by demons in the barren forest was only one month. ”

"Huh?" Dunshan was surprised again, and didn't understand why, in his own feelings, it had been decades.

Zhong Kui sighed: "This official is a person in the era of kings, and he doesn't know much about what happened in ancient times, so he can't give you a definite explanation. But in my netherworld, there is a kind of trapped formation called the Heart Demon Array, which does not actually exist, but is born from the hearts of the deceased. ”

"Heart Demon Array? Just an illusory place born of the heart? "Shield Mountain is stupid in appearance, but it has a bright mind, and once it is dialed, it has some understanding, and it begins to understand what is going on in that barren forest.

Zhong Kui continued: "Yes, that's right. Some ghosts have experienced setbacks in their lives, and even carried unspeakable grievances, so they were trapped by demons and died, and there was no return. At this time, they will wander at the six entrances and enter the Heart Demon Array. All the ghosts that pass by them are only shadows floating around them, but they think that they are walking in some kind of predicament and cannot find an exit, that is, the illusory land they have built because of their demons, it may be a barren forest, it may be a desert, or even an oil pot or a furnace......"

"My lord, please don't say any more......" Dunshan's eyes turned black, his mind seemed to explode, and he couldn't bear to continue listening.

Zhong Kui changed the topic, looked at him with pity and said: "Dunshan, don't be sad, you should be glad that you were not an undead when you were trapped in the Heart Demon Array, and you still broke out as a living person, and you can continue to serve the world." ”

"It turns out that the barren forest that trapped me was created by inner demons, but in fact, it doesn't exist at all! No wonder I couldn't get to the edge of the woods, no wonder the cycle of day and night there always seemed strange, in fact, what I thought was tens or hundreds of years is different from normal time! And that boulder from the sky...... Why didn't I think it couldn't happen in the real world? But in fact, the demons that trapped me all came from the strange energy that roamed in my body, who can I confide in about this? And who can help me? ”

Self-blame and sadness, coupled with hesitation, once again made Dunshan hang his head, revealing pessimism.

Zhong Kui seemed to see something, but he wasn't sure, so he sighed: "Brother, creatures of heaven and earth like you and me, who have no father and no mother, are born to be missions, so no matter what happens, it is not worth grief, it is all the path that must be taken when you are alive." ”

How philosophical this remark is, like cool water to extinguish the impetuousness of Dunshan, it also helped him to alleviate the pain in his heart. It seems that it is not advisable to laugh at the weakness of others, and the usual result is to slap yourself in the face. Take Zhong Kui as an example, although his mind does not turn fast, he is slow to respond to the outside world, and he is generally said to be a fool, but there is a deep path in his heart that leads to a place that ordinary people can't see, and that place is called "philosophy". Dunshan only had a one-sided acquaintance with him, and he had already heard him say a lot of philosophical words, and it was really a blessing to be able to make friends with such a "stupid person".

"Oh oh oh ~ "

The rooster crowed from nowhere, and Dunshan was frightened and looked at Zhong Kui in a daze. How could you hear a rooster crowing in such a secluded place?

Zhong Kui was still not in a hurry, and after adjusting the crown robe with both hands, he said: "The rooster crows five drums, and the sky is about to dawn." As soon as the hour passes, you and I will go our separate ways, you go to the yang realm to find a livelihood, and I will go back to the Yin Division to handle official business. But after tonight, we are different from last night, and we have one more responsibility on our shoulders, and this responsibility is the most important responsibility, and probably all the tasks will revolve around it in the future. Brother Dunshan, we have to wake up our spirits. ”

"It turned out that the rooster crowed as an alarm clock, and I thought someone or an animal had broken in." Dunshan replied with fear in his heart. Of course, Zhong Kui's words had a long-term effect on him, and he said that he had written them down one by one.

At the time of parting, Dunshan thought of something important and asked Zhong Kui: "My lord, forming an army is not a trivial matter, we must have contact, if I need to meet with you, how should I operate?" ”

"Well~" Zhong Kui immediately realized that this was a problem, and he replied with a short beard: "We don't need to meet for the time being, but when you meet a person named Su Lie on the street one day, it means that the time for us to meet again is up, and you can come to the Wufo Temple to find me at night again." ”

"Then you, are you ...... in the daytime" Dunshan is very strange, as the magistrate of Chang'an City, Zhong Kui never shows up in his jurisdiction? But I felt that I was suspicious of inquiry, so I hesitated.

Zhong Kui didn't care, and replied: "This official has never been without a trace, and no one in Chang'an City has seen my true face. The task of this official is to maintain the law and order of Chang'an City, not to let the ghosts and ghosts run out to cause trouble, and destroy the peace created by the heroes of the King Continent, so why use the image to put on a show? Of course, if the image of this official is put on Suzaku Street, it will also overshadow those handsome men. ”

"Ahh

Dunshan almost vomited blood, just like a giant like an iron tower, why can't Zhong Kui be as self-aware as himself?

"Su Lie......"

Dunshan chews on the name, and there are still many doubts. Zhong Kui mentioned him, he must be very important to him, so what role will Su Lie play in the defense of the Great Wall in the future? Does he have what it takes to take on such a heavy responsibility?

Zhong Kui said in his ear: "Although the army has not yet taken shape, it must have a name, otherwise it will not be possible to recruit soldiers in accordance with the regulations." This official is good at this kind of creative work, so to speak, he comes when he opens his mouth, how do you think it is called Huhu Army? ”

"Wow~ Mom!"

Fortunately, Dunshan is sitting, and if it is standing, it will definitely fall headlong.

"Big ...... My lord...... What is the meaning of the word 'huhu'? He held back his laughter, in addition to holding back or holding back, he thought of falling asleep.

Zhong Kui mistook his reaction for appreciation, shook his head and said: "The army, the first thing it needs is majestic momentum, where is the momentum?" Whirring wind~"

"I'm going~ Isn't it a tiger? But fortunately, his old man's cultural foundation is thin, and he got the idiom wrong, otherwise wouldn't it be more thunderous to call the Tiger and Tiger Army? ! ”

Dunshan still didn't dare to speak out against him, so he had to suggest as tactfully as possible: "The big talent is Gao Badou, and he is really the best talent in the world." But well...... This one...... Actually......"

Twisting and twisting like this, like an old lady, Zhong Kui was impatient and urged: "If you think this name is not good, just say it, your lord will not be angry a lot, it's a big deal to think about another one!" ”

Dunshan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, it's not bad, it's too good to be used." Your Excellency, most of the soldiers are uneducated, and it is best to convince them to join the army, what do you think of the name 'Guardian of the Great Wall'? ”
