Chapter 891 The Past of the Corpse King

"It's a long story, and there are indeed several important reasons. This general will tell you from the beginning, about my life experience and my encounter with the ghost general..."

General Shi Wang told us the story of him and Ghost Ancestor while Zhang Deafzi and Huang Shisan who were fiddling with weapons before came over curiously.

General Shi Wang was born in a mountain village in Jizhou, which is located on the border between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Daliao Dynasty.Under the invasion of Khitan's iron cavalry, the small mountain village was in constant chaos and the people were in dire straits.

General Shi Wang's real name is Luan San, and he has four children in his family, the third and fourth of him are twins.Later, when he met the ghost general, he was given the name Luan Pingbei, which means to pacify the north and expel Khitan.

General Shi Wang's family are all local farmers. His elder sister was kidnapped by the Khitans, and only he, his elder brother Luan Da, and twin brother Luan Si are left to depend on each other.

When General Shi Wang was seven years old, there was a famine, the wheat fields were not harvested, starvation was everywhere, and the land was desolate for thousands of miles.The already barren mountain village is even worse. Every family has no food, and in the end it is almost to the point where they have to change their children.

In order to survive, General Shi Wang's parents exchanged Luan Da, the eldest brother of Shi Wang, with other villagers, and sold their twin brother Luan Si to a Taoist priest, and the family lived for a while longer.

It was hard to hope that the relief food from the Song Dynasty would be delivered to the mountain village, but unexpectedly, it was taken away by the Khitan people halfway, which completely cut off the livelihood of all the villagers.The corpse king's parents also starved to death, leaving only the last handful of rice for the general corpse king.

When we heard this, we couldn't help sighing, and I was also secretly glad that we were born in modern times.

Gui Linglong was also quite touched when she heard it. She was fascinated by what she heard, and she blinked her big eyes and asked: "General Luan, you originally had a family of six, but you were the only one left in the end? Then you are How did you survive?"

"There is no unparalleled road. This general escaped from the mountain village by eating weeds and bark, and came to the city of Jizhou to beg along the streets. Although the Song Dynasty has suffered years of wars on the frontier, the south and the state capital are very rich. I eat Being a beggar with leftovers is better than living in a mountain village. Later, under the arrangement of God, I was taken in by an old blacksmith and recognized him as a master..."

The general corpse king then told us that he learned the skills of forging weapons and blacksmithing from the master blacksmith, and because of the daily forging and tempering of the general for more than ten years, his body has become very strong.

When General Shi Wang was 15 years old, his height had already reached 1.9 meters, and he also practiced horizontal kung fu with some martial artists.

During the war, the General Corpse King could live his life without any worries by relying on this skill, but unexpectedly, one incident completely changed the life of the General Corpse King.

One day, the master of General Shi Wang was invited to the Song Dynasty army camp to help supervise the craftsmen forging weapons, but unexpectedly the barracks was ransacked by the Khitans, and the old blacksmith was also captured by the Khitans.

Because the old blacksmith was an outstanding foundry master at that time, and his skill in making weapons was even more unique, so he was captured by the Khitan people back to the Liao Kingdom and forced him to make weapons for the Liao army.

Although the old blacksmith was in his sixtieth year, he was very strong and refused to surrender to the enemy and treason, so he committed suicide.

After the General Corpse King learned of the old blacksmith's death, he was so angry that he wanted to avenge his master!Relying on his great strength and excellent martial arts skills, he broke into the Liao army barracks one night and killed the Khitan people who forced his master to death.

However, the General Corpse King was soon surrounded by Khitan soldiers, and was quickly captured. Just as he was about to be executed, he happened to meet Ghost Ancestor leading his troops to attack the Daliao army camp at night, so he was rescued by chance. up.

The ghost ancestor saw that the general corpse king was tall, extremely powerful and knew some martial arts, and he also got the true biography of the old blacksmith, so he asked him to join the Song army.

At first, General Shi Wang was just a personal guard. Later, he made military exploits step by step and was appreciated and carefully cultivated by Ghost Ancestor, and gradually became Ghost Ancestor's right-hand man and became a lieutenant.

"Looking back at the time, at the age of 25, this general was already the deputy general of the ghost general, and his official worship was a fifth-rank cavalry captain. This honor was bestowed by the ghost general, so in the past ten years, I have Even if the general is completely overwhelmed, it will be difficult to repay the ghost general for his rebirth." The general corpse king said excitedly, with gratitude in his eyes, and even more reverence for the ghost ancestor in his words.

Although his story is very exciting and worth remembering, but I wanted to know more about Gui Zu, so I asked anxiously: "General Luan, then you followed Gui Zu in the south and north for many years, and Gui Zu did everything. What? When did you know about the ghost clan? When exactly did you discover the superiority of the ghost ancestors? Didn't you say before that our ghost ancestors have all the abilities of the ghost clan?"

The General Corpse King looked at the dome of the tomb, recalled the past, and then said to us: "Since I have been following the ghost general for more than ten years, I have not seen him show real power. I just know that the ghost general is superb in martial arts. Strategies are extraordinary, soldiers are like gods, and they are the heroes of the world."

"But this hero can't beat the treacherous officials, isn't our ghost ancestor also framed by the traitors like Yue Wumu?" I sighed.

General Corpse King nodded and said: "Yes, General Ghost, although he made great military exploits back then, was arrogant and arrogant, so he was envied by the court ministers and the emperor's suspicion. Later, because of a small incident, General Ghost was The current prime minister took advantage of the problem and made a big fuss to fabricate a crime. As a result, the ghost general was transferred from the front line and demoted to a local official. From that day on, the ghost general was disheartened and finally told me something unknown my secret..."
