Twenty-three years ago, Zou Yue took his army at the western foot and moved to the west according to the order.
Zou Yue took his beloved wife and Xiao Zou Liang, who was not yet a year old, and moved with the army.
Originally, this was a fairly simple operation, and the army did not have to go too far, let alone fight, and could simply set up camp in another place.
However, no one expected that this simple migration would send the 100,000 army to the point of no return.
That night, the wind was not strong, the desert was unusually calm, the clouds were open and the moon was bright, which was very suitable for night walking.
Zou Yue was riding on a horse, with a carriage behind him, in which his wife was holding her young son, who was already asleep.
Just as the large army was marching along the shore of the Ghost Sea, suddenly, some soldiers began to stir, and some stopped to watch, looking in the direction of the Ghost Sea.
Zou Yue stopped the crowd and looked at the place where everyone was looking, and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In the midst of the sea of ghosts, a city appeared The city was majestic, with lights and waves and boats all around However, just as Zou Yue was studying whether the city was real or just a mirage, a gust of wind passed by.
The wind blew heavy clouds and mist.
The city disappeared in an instant It all happened in an instant, and the city disappeared almost as soon as it appeared.
Zou Yue felt incredible.
Although he is a military general, but he is very familiar with geography and the climate of Western Xia, he once heard some local old people say that this ghost sea is very dangerous, not only yellow sand, but also others.
Although Zou Yue was very curious, he had a military order, not to mention that he was still dragging his family with him, so he didn't have the idea of going in and taking risks, and ordered the soldiers to continue to move forward.
But after walking for a while, a few soldiers suddenly came to report, saying, "Vice Admiral Gao took hundreds of people without permission and ran into the sea of ghosts." ” Zou Yue was stunned.
This deputy general's real name is Gao Tian, this person has a very strange personality, he was originally a warlock before joining the army, not to mention, he does know a lot of strange things, in addition, his kung fu is also good, but he is a little gloomy, and he is silent on weekdays.
Gao Tian left his post without permission when he was marching, and left without saying a word with his subordinates, which is simply a capital crime that can kill the head.
Zou Yue felt a little strange, so he ordered the army to stop first, not to move forward, and to find someone who was more familiar with the Gao Tian camp to inquire.
Several generals in Gao Tian's camp said that all the people Gao Tian took away were his cronies.
Zou Yue was even more strange, "If he goes in, he won't be ready to come out or what?"
In the end, a soldier who used to be a fellow villager with Gao Tian told Zou Yue that Gao Tian had robbed tombs back then.
He remembered that once, when Gao Tian was drinking with him, he said that there was a treasure in the sea of ghosts, and it was an amazing baby.
Zou Yue frowned when he heard it, it turned out that Gao Tian was born as a tomb robber, and there was no need to ask, what did he probably know about the city that appeared in the ghost sea just now.
So I had a crooked thought.
After all, Gao Tian took away more than 100 people, all of whom were officers and soldiers in his army, and Zou Yue had to give an explanation.
However, the terrain of the Ghost Sea is complex, and it is not so easy to enter.
When Zou Yue was in distress, suddenly, a soldier escaped.
It was a small soldier, covered in blood, as if he was seriously injured, he stumbled out and was brought to see Zou Yue by other soldiers.
That little soldier was Gao Tian's subordinate, and it was said that Gao Tian was attacked not long after they entered the ghost sea.
What attacked them was a group of black monsters, begging Zou Yue to send troops to save Gao Tian.
Zou Yue didn't want to agree, but the soldier pleaded bitterly, after all, the other soldiers were innocent, and according to the little soldier, they were attacked on the edge of the ghost sea.
At this time, several deputy generals asked for their lives, saying that they were willing to go in and save Gao Tian.
Zou Yue had no choice but to agree, asking them to bring the ringing arrows for communication, and at the same time, they would put smoke for communication at the outlying points to prevent them from getting lost.
After that, the three lieutenants led 5,000 elite soldiers into the Ghost Sea.
But Zou Yue, they waited outside and waited, but no one came out.
At this moment, Zou Yue couldn't sit still, the official positions of these three lieutenant generals are not low, and the five thousand elite soldiers are not a small number, so they are gone for no reason, how to explain when you go back Zou Yue then took his subordinates and brought 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 they were attacked by black monsters.
However, when Zou Yue was fighting with several black monsters, he found that they were actually wearing Song Jun's costumes, and although one of them had become neither human nor ghostly, he recognized it at a glance, it was Gao Tian Gao Tian's whole person seems to have turned into a ghost, and he can't wake up even if he screams.
At this time, a wounded soldier came to help Zou Yue, it was a deputy general who came in before, he blocked Zou Yue, "General, don't be bitten by those monsters, if you bite, you will become like them."
Zou Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the soldier who ran out to the barracks just now to ask for help.
Zou Yue had a premonition that something might happen to the military camp waiting on the periphery, so he wanted to hurry out, but in the ghost sea, the direction was chaotic, there were many quicksand bunkers around, and the sky was dark.
It was also thanks to Zou Yue's long-term experience and calmness, he didn't know how much time it took him to distinguish the direction clearly, found the smoke along the edge of the ghost sea, and quickly ran out with the remnants of the people.
However, the scene he saw on the edge of the ghost sea stunned Zou Yue.
I saw that his entire barracks had been in chaos, black monsters were running around, soldiers were in a mess, some were killed, some were fighting monsters, and more were bitten and ran to bite people, and for a while, the entire barracks was like purgatory on earth.
Zou Yue rushed all the way into the camp and found his wife's carriage, but the carriage was empty except for bloodstains.

Zou Yue searched like crazy and finally found his wife's body not far away, near the edge of the ghost sea, but the child was gone.
Zou Yue looked for Zou Liang all the way, and saw that the barracks had been chaotic all the way, and finally I didn't know who set fire to the barracks The strange thing is that together with the firelight, those black monsters all seemed to be frightened, and they rushed into the sea of ghosts frantically, and soon, they disappeared.
Zou Yue counted the remaining number of people and found that more than half of the dead and wounded, and most of the remaining half turned into monsters and ran into the sea of ghosts.
Those who can survive are basically generals who are particularly good at kung fu, and there are less than 20,000 people.
At this time, almost the entire army was wiped out, Zou Yue lost his wife and children, was heartbroken, and had no face to return to the barracks.
The other generals also knew that even if they went back like this, it would probably be a felony.
In addition, most of the brothers in the military camp are like brothers, and they died without knowing it, or they became ghosts, how can they go back and explain to those families that they have revenge and are not gentlemen, and what are those black monsters will come out to attack others In the end, the rest of the people discussed it and decided to go into the ghost sea and find out.
The soldiers packed up the camp so that they would not leave any clues.
At that time, the rest of the people were divided into two factions, one faction was represented by Zou Yue, and after they wanted to go in and find out, they would go back and ask for guilt.
The other faction didn't want to die, and felt that they hadn't done anything wrong at all, and if they could still come out after entering the ghost sea, they would quietly escape, hoping that Zou Yue would not denounce them and let them save their lives.
So, everyone pushed the military tents, carriages, and everything else into the ghost sea together, and in this way, the entire army of the western foothills disappeared.
After Zou Yue entered the ghost sea, the experience was similar to the previous one, they killed the black monster when they saw it, and they showed no mercy.
Zou Yue once again found Gao Tian, who had turned into a monster, and after killing him, he found something from him, which was a map of the ghost sea.
Zou Yue followed the route on the map, took his men and horses, brought all the last remaining supplies in the barracks, passed through the "Storm Belt", and entered the boundary of the "Lost City".
The overall structure of the maze is similar to the city they saw outside, but the maze is reversed day and night from the outside world, and the whole city is not as beautiful as it looks on the outside, there are ruins everywhere, and there is a large sea of sand, and those sand feel very similar to the sea when you step on it, and you can even feel the waves on your feet, and I don't know what the principle is.
As they went deeper, they encountered more and more black monsters, many of which were once their siblings.
At the same time, water and food are becoming scarce, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, with hot mornings and cold evenings, and many people have fallen ill.
On the one hand, Zou Yue missed his wife and children, was overly sad and in a trance, and finally fell ill.
He began to hallucinate, often hearing the crying of children, and the number of people who followed him became fewer and fewer, until only a thousand people remained.
Just when they finally walked through the sea of sand and walked to the interior of the labyrinth after countless battles, they found that they were also experiencing a harsh war inside.
The black monsters, and some of the red ones, were at war.
When Zou Yue and the others entered the maze, they saw more than a dozen red-haired and red-clothed people surrounded by a group of monsters, so Zou Yue took people and helped the group of red-clothed people.
Zou Yue was red-eyed, and after slashing the last monster, he was seriously ill and fainted.
I don't know how long it took, but when Zou Yue woke up, he heard the baby's cry again.
Zou Yue opened his eyes, and several familiar figures appeared in front of him, which were his subordinates.
"General, look" One of his subordinates saw that Zou Yue was awake, and hurriedly handed him a baby in his hand.
Zou Yue was stunned, and "Huo" bounced up from the bed, everything was cured, and the subordinate was holding his lost child Zou Liang Zou Yue hugged his intact son, only then did he feel that he was alive, and asked in detail, and his subordinates told him that it was those people in red who saved them.
At this time, several red-clothed people walked in, one of the leaders spoke Chinese, and the others didn't know what they were saying, and Zou Yue couldn't understand it.
The red-clothed leader told Zou Yue that they were all from the Sand Demon Clan and were the last gatekeepers of the Lost City, and the black monsters who attacked them were Sand Nobles.
The Sand Demon Clan and the Sand Ghost Clan have been fighting in the Sea of Ghosts for nearly a hundred years.
Originally, the sand ghost could be killed, but there were constantly people who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth coming in, and once they were bitten by the sand ghost, they became a member of the sand ghost, so no matter how they were destroyed, they couldn't be wiped out.
Zou Yue asked about Zou Liang, and the leader told him that the child had fallen into the quicksand and was finally picked up and brought back by the people of the Sand Demon Clan.
It just so happened that the chief's wife gave birth to a son, so the two were raised together.
The leader of the Sand Demon Clan asked Zou Liang about the cause and effect of their entry into the Ghost Sea.
Zou Yue originally had an army of 100,000, and many of them died, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers who have become sand ghosts, and after their clean-up these days, there are casualties on both sides, and in the end they are almost completely wiped out, leaving only a thousand people, and the number of sand ghosts is estimated to be 10,000.
So, the leader of the Demon Slayer Clan and Zou Yue proposed to cooperate with each other.
Both sides have their own strengths, and the Sand Demon Clan has an advantage, that is, they are not afraid of being bitten, and they have excellent medical skills, but their kung fu is average.
Zou Yue's men and horses are afraid of being bitten, but their kung fu is very good, and the sand demon clan is familiar with the terrain, so the two sides cooperate to kill all those sand ghosts, so as not to cause them harm people 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 ghosts launched an attack on the sand demon clan, and when the two sides were fighting, Zou Yue was seriously injured, and the children of Zou Liang and the sand demon leader were snatched away by the sand ghosts.
At the critical moment, Zou Yue shot an arrow that hit the swaddling clothes of the leader's child, and the arrow fell into the quicksand pit with the child.
The sand ghost who snatched Zou Liang was also killed by the people of the sand demon clan, and Zou Liang rolled into another quicksand pit.
And just like that, both children disappeared.
After a scuffle, the sand ghost disappeared into the sea of ghosts and disappeared for the time being.
Zou Yue and the Sand Demon Clan searched for their two children in vain. picked up two children, one is Zou Liang, and the other is Lin Yehuo.

Since then, Zou Yue and the Sand Demon Clan have been living in the sea of ghosts.
Zou Yue thought that Zou Liang was dead, so he had nothing to love, so he wanted to kill the sand ghost to avenge his wife and children and those soldiers.
A few years later, Zou Yue adapted to life in the ghost sea, also learned to distinguish the direction, familiar with the terrain of the ghost sea, and with the help of the sand demon clan, he successfully got out of the ghost sea.
Zou Yue once sneaked back to the barracks, but at this time, seven or eight years have passed since he disappeared.
However, to Zou Yue's surprise, he found that Zou Liang was still alive and was adopted by his good brother and growing up healthily.
At the same time, there is also good news from the sand demon clan, the child of the sand demon leader is also alive, and he was adopted by the high monk Master Wusha, named Lin Yehuo, and he is alive and well.
So, Zou Yue, who was almost dead, began to take the exam and start again.
Zou Yue returned to the Ghost Sea, and at this time, the wife of the leader of the sand demon clan had just given birth to a daughter, but she died of dystocia.
The sand demon clan was very affectionate, and the leader was depressed, and he died of illness not long after.
Before he died, the leader of the sand demons, Tuo Gu Zou Yue, asked him to raise the little sand demon and teach her the Han language.
The fate of the Sand Demon Clan is very miserable, and they have to live in the Ghost Sea all the time to protect this lifeless labyrinth.
The sand demon leader didn't want his daughter to continue to live like this in the future, so he asked Zou Yue to hand over his daughter to Lin Yehuo, who had grown up, after killing all the sand ghosts, and let his brother take care of his sister, so that he would stay away from the sea of ghosts and live a normal life.
When my daughter grows up, find a normal person to reproduce offspring, cut off the bloodline of the sand demon clan, and no longer have to suffer from fate.
Zou Yue agreed to his request, and after that, he became the leader of the Sand Demon Clan and his former subordinates who still lived in the labyrinth, and they had been hunting down the Sand Devils for all these years.
Sand Ghosts are quite mysterious beings, and when their numbers are less than a certain number, they will go out and attack others to increase their numbers.
You say they're monsters and they're not intelligent, but they don't seem to be, but they're intelligent and almost completely unable to communicate.
In the past 20 years, Zou Yue has actually been paying attention to the growth of Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang, and is very pleased with the achievements of the two.
At the same time, the twenty years of life in the maze also allowed Zou Yue to know a lot of ancient and little-known secrets.
The above is what Zou Yue simply told everyone, what happened to him, as well as the mystery of the disappearance of the army in the western foothills, as well as the life experiences of Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang.
After finishing speaking, Zou Yue said to Lin Yehuo very apologetically, "Your father and mother passed away, and it has 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, you estimate that I am also fighting monsters in the desert, and it was originally fateful, but your appearance changed the fate of the sand demon clan, and it was a turning point and providence." ” Everyone nodded, Lin Yehuo was worthy of being a master of Wusha, transparent and open-minded.
Zhao Pu touched his chin and asked Zou Yue, "How many sand ghosts are there now?"
"No more than twenty, they are at the end of their rope," Zou Yue said with great certainty.
"But now it should be more than that."
Zhanzhao spoke.
Everyone frowned.
Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes, Xixia and Liao, I just sent a few hundred people in for them. ” Zhao Pu raised his forehead, "These grandsons will add to the chaos, and there will be more than enough success and more failure":
