Chapter 190: The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival and the Mysterious Person
However, after the State Preceptor left, Song You frowned.
As the Heavenly Dao evolved, the difficulty of dying and becoming a ghost had slightly decreased, and the probability had increased. Countless people had died in the north and along the borders. Many of the border soldiers were skilled fighters, unwilling to accept their fate, and many resentful spirits linger in the border regions.
Thus, there were likely to be numerous ghosts appearing in the north and along the borders. The Daoists, monks, and old ghosts under the State Preceptor’s command were escorting them to Fengzhou to prevent chaos from erupting, which was why people had witnessed terrifying scenes of a hundred ghosts roaming at night.
Fengzhou’s Mount Ye had imprisoned a large number of ghosts, resulting in the emergence of Ghostface Grass.
Everything seemed to make sense. Even General Chen’s dreams had an explanation.
These days, the character of soldiers in the army varied greatly. No matter how good a general was, he must make choices, sometimes turning a blind eye for the sake of combat effectiveness and defending the country.
Among the soldiers at the border, some, confident in their strength, behaved poorly. After being brought to Fengzhou’s Mount Ye, it was inevitable that they would come into conflict with the Daoists, monks, and old ghosts under the State Preceptor’s command, leading to suppression and punishment, or even extermination.
Mount Ye was originally designated as the boundary between the realm of the living and the underworld, where the ghost city of the underworld was located.
Since Song You had never been to the north or Fengzhou, and he didn’t know much about the State Preceptor’s grand plan, he found it difficult to pinpoint any flaws.
