Chapter Thirty-Five: The Ambush on the Road

  I was sleeping soundly, but now it's suddenly become like this. The fear in my heart is several times higher than when I usually encounter danger. This kind of fear that seeps in through the pores, as the ancient army in front of me grows heavier and heavier, is suffocating me.

  That kind of close-range oppressive feeling is simply unimaginable, and I almost screamed out loud.

  Yu Gang, who was standing beside him, pulled out a broken copper gong-like voice and shouted: "Damn it, this... we've crossed over..."

  When the curved battle knife was about to chop onto my neck, suddenly, the horse in front of me, the battle knife, directly and stiffly passed through my body. The man seemed not to have seen us at all, and rushed towards the distance.

  I am shocked speechless at this moment and have no reaction at all.

  That guy suddenly pointed ahead and shouted loudly: "There's another army over there."

  I saw it long ago.

  In the place where we rested, on the right side, originally there was nothing, but suddenly a mighty army of thousands of ancient cavalrymen appeared out of thin air.

  That's right, those who suddenly appeared, this large army was also riding horses and galloping over.

  We stand between two great armies, each one stretching beyond the horizon, shaking the earth beneath our feet.

  We hadn't even reacted yet to what was happening in front of us, when the two armies collided. In that instant, men and horses were overturned, shouting and killing shook the sky, as they mutually slaughtered each other.

  At this close distance, I could clearly see the horse passing over me. However, what was most shocking wasn't that, but a blood-soaked human head falling down in front of my eyes. The bright red color almost made me sit on the ground.

  That was a human head, cut off just like that. Fortunately, it fell onto the sandy ground and didn't move at all.

  People overturned and horses fell, heads were separated from bodies, severed hands and feet flew everywhere, the entire desert was filled with blood.

  I've only seen the 3D effects of armies killing each other in movies, but I've never experienced a war with cold weapons like this before. The ruthless and bloody killings are making me feel nauseous, luckily my self-control is pretty good.

  Yu Gang on the side had already started vomiting while holding his stomach.

  Suddenly, a strange gust of cold wind blew across the desert. It started by gently sweeping across the ground, but in the next second, it turned into super strong winds that came pouring down on us from all directions. The dust that was blown up blocked out the moonlight, and for a moment, everything around us became blurry.

  My vision is blurry, the wind blows my eyes almost can't open, yet I see, the armies on the desert that are killing each other, blown by the strong wind in an instant and flew with the dust to who-knows-where.

  The wind slowly died down, and the originally bustling desert returned to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened before. My emotions slowly calmed down, I grasped my hair with my hand, staring at the empty desert in front of me, feeling extremely perplexed. The realistic feeling still lingered in my heart, the aftershock of the bloody battle that had just passed, now, nothing could be seen.

  There is no horse, no human head, and certainly no one hand in the east and one hand in the west.

  And we stand among them unscathed.

  "'Yin' troops are passing by, I'm 'Cao'" Yu shouted loudly as soon as he came back to his senses.

  This reminds me of a very famous old news article. On it was a journalist recounting what he had personally witnessed in Tangshan.

  In 1976, people collectively saw those who had died in the Tangshan earthquake passing by in front of them.

  That's what they call "dark" troops passing through.

  The ancient armies in front of me are like the 1976 Tangshan earthquake.

  Damn it.

  This is how unlucky I am, I've seen a ghost.

  "Yin" soldiers passing by, in plain language, it's called seeing a ghost.

  In ghost stories, the "yin" soldiers passing through the road are also called "yin" soldiers treading on the border, or heavenly soldiers. This refers to a group of "yin" soldiers showing their original form while walking and being seen by people.

  Some people say that the "Yin" army is a team of fierce ghosts from the underworld, responsible for escorting spirits. In ancient times, every region had a City God Temple, which was the relay station for the "Yin" army. Others say that when the "Yin" army passes by, it's actually Yan Wang patrolling in the mortal world, so he leads a team of "Yin" soldiers to clear the way. It's best for living people to crouch on the ground and absolutely not look up recklessly, or they will be blown out by the "Yin" soldiers' extinguishing of the yang fire on their shoulders, after which they will definitely fall seriously ill, and some may even be taken away by the "Yin" soldiers, making it difficult to preserve their lives.

  Of course, these are just legends.

  But I don't think so, because what appears before our eyes is a magnetic field effect.

  That is to say, the magnetic field effect combines things that have happened before and then appears in front of us through space-time.

  "According to scientific theory, last night's situation was a memory of the space-time magnetic field, which means that there had been wars here in history."

  However, Yu Gang curled his lips and said discontentedly: "But if we go by the saying of our hometown, it's a superstitious saying. Those from last night were 'yin' soldiers."

  "Take a look..."

  I pointed around, all the living things were only me and Yu Gang who were awake, the rest were asleep, not just sheep and camels, but also the wolf lying on the sand sleeping, she had one hand holding the sheep's big 'leg', and the other hand was placed on the sheep's head, sleeping like a pig.

  "What's going on? Such a big commotion can't wake them up, can it? Could they be...?" Yu Gang's face changed greatly, crying and looking gloomy, he trembled with fear and ran to where the children were sleeping.

  Is it right? How can such a big commotion not wake them up?

  Are they pigs?

  But whether it's a person or a pig, that kind of fierce and miserable cry can wake them up.

  Yu Gang just placed his hand on Xiang Er's nose, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

  Isn't it really over?

  The next second, Yu Gang suddenly sat on the sand like he had been struck by lightning, and burst into loud sobs: "Hui'er, how could you bear to abandon me..."

  He only saw his hand touching the lamb's face, wanting to hold it in his arms, but who knew that one foot was kicked out and fell beside the sheep, his face directly pounced on the sheep's buttocks, and his mouth happened to kiss.

  If Tang Guangze hadn't taken our phones, I would have definitely taken a picture of this classic scene to laugh at him and make fun of him in the future.

  "He's a bear, I guarantee he won't kill you..." Hua'er swung her hands forward and then froze, looking at Yu with some confusion, asking: "Yu Ge, what's wrong? Didn't you say today that you don't like farting?"

  "The 'meat' on the sheep's butt is the most delicious, that flavor..." She was like a mischievous kid, talking about her favorite food while pushing it onto others.

  I didn't expect that sister Hui's taste would be so heavy, and even the 'meat' on the sheep's butt. I'm telling you, the world of food is too hard to understand.

  "Yu Ge, didn't you hear me talking?" Xiang'er looked at Yu Gang and shouted loudly as she rushed over, "Old Master Chen, come quickly, he..."

  I ran over and took a look, was shocked for a moment, and already understood a bit in my heart. No wonder this guy couldn't get up, it turned out to be stuck.

  Yu Gang was almost kneeling on the ground, his body leaning against the sheep's buttocks, with most of his weight on his upper body. His foot was stuck in one of the sheep's legs, and the sheep was bleating discontentedly. Yu Gang's posture was really comical, but it also left me puzzled - how did he manage to achieve such a high-difficulty pose?

  The girl lowered her head, holding onto the poor sheep with one hand, and I grabbed onto Yu Gang's hand, pulling him back a step with great force. Perhaps I used too much strength, as my hand grasped Yu Gang's hand and fell backwards, heavily thudding into the sand.

  "Ah...... damn it." Yu Gang was suddenly pulled up, shouting loudly, then looked down and squatted, pulling Hui'er into his arms, saying: "You're fine, that scared me to death just now."

  "I was sleeping, how could I have done anything?" Huier said in confusion.

  I got up from the sandy ground and was about to leave when Yu Gang said, "You didn't know just now, a 'yin' soldier passed by."

  "No wonder." Xiu'er nodded and smiled.

  "'Yin' soldiers passing by, I've seen it before, my grandfather told me about it. You haven't reached my level yet, you'll definitely see it. 'Yin' soldiers passing by is an ominous sign."

  Hearing an ominous sign, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I stopped in my tracks and hurried over to ask, "What do you mean by 'ominous sign'?"

  It is said that those who have seen the "Yin" soldiers will not be able to keep their lives.

  The girl frowned and said: "Those who see 'yin' will not pass three months, if they don't die, they'll be injured. This is what my grandfather told me. Those unlucky people will see the 'yin' soldiers, as soon as they make a mistake, the 'yin' soldiers will come to take them away."

  "Anyone who is destined to die will encounter 'yin' soldiers at a coincidental location."

  "Dead? You're kidding me?" I naturally didn't believe what she said.

  The term "yin" soldier is quite broad, and many people who have seen "yin" soldiers are still alive and well, just like pigs that are white and plump, isn't it just the effect of magnetic fields and changes in time and space?

  Damn it's so ridiculous, what kind of logic is this that seeing a 'yin' soldier will kill people?

  Although I've heard such sayings, no one has ever confirmed them. Anyway, for now, I'm living a good life.

  "You two have seen the 'yin' soldiers, which means you will die soon." Xie Er said with a serious face, completely unlike her usual joking demeanor.

  Yu Gang was somewhat entangled and asked in surprise: "There must be a way to solve it?"

  Liu'er sighed, gazing at us with a hint of resentment and mystery, then lowered her head and said, "I can't do that."

  What she meant was that she knew a way out but couldn't help us.

  In some small villages in Korla, they have their own unique beliefs, just like most people in China believe in Buddhism and a few areas believe in others.

  "I really want to save you, but it will violate the clan rules..."
