My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 376 Emperor Ming’s Rebirth

"I passed the Huo Lei Col again and looked down. I saw a withered bone on the col, which was more than forty miles long. The Master asked the Monkey Walker: "A white withered bone on the top of the mountain is like snow?" The Monkey Walker said: "This is the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty. The place where the bones are changed." Upon hearing this, the Master put his palms together and bowed. "

……

"As expected by Master Liu Yuanqing, the chaos here must be caused by the remnants of the Luo Sect from the Western Regions who are secretly planning behind the scenes——"

As the demon escaped from its skin in panic, revealing the dense white bones inside, it curled up again in its skeletal form.

Then he raised his white skull with faint red fire and looked around for the sudden attacker.

A figure suddenly appeared in the Zhao family's ancestral house, which was less than ten steps away from the gate.

The man who suddenly appeared was wearing a dark robe and a hat.

There was a long sword on his back, and his leggings were stained with brown mud, making him look dusty.

Facing the roar of the bone demon, he did not appear panicked.

He took off the sword from behind with a calm expression.

Then he turned his attention to Liu Zhen, who was diagnosing the Jurchen boy's injuries.

He spoke first.

"Liu Yushi - leave it to me to handle this."

Thinking of the imperial edict issued to him before he came here, he specifically mentioned the way Liu Zhen and Liu Yushi were handled.

Li Changshou looked up and down at this seemingly ordinary man who was one of the many censors in the northern Ming Dynasty who was said to have made great achievements in Tieling.

The elders were very interested in him and the things behind him.

Li Changshou slowly pulled out the long sword from his back, and the burning heart in his chest was roaring like a war drum.

An uncontrollable feeling of hunger arose in his heart.

Although he had just been treated to a feast of fish and meat by Commander Guo, he soon became empty as he hurried on the road.

Li Changshou licked his lips.

He took a look at the large mansion in front of him that was not inferior to those of the noble families in the capital.

How should I put it, even in such a small place.

But this one looks pretty rich.

Although it is unclear how many people will survive.

But filling your stomach should be no problem.

"Knight Errant—"

Liu Zhen raised his head and looked him up and down.

Then he spoke slowly and seriously.

"Thank you! This demon is cunning! But please be careful!"

After seeing him take off his bamboo hat and reveal the pattern like a wine glass on his forehead, he recognized these people wandering around the empire.

The identity of the Imperial Ranger Group, which obtained wanted notices from the government and exchanged the heads of monsters or prisoners for bounties.

Although it is less than a year old, it is because of its efficient operation and lack of fear of danger.

He has already become famous all over the world by assisting the government in capturing several famous pirates and Japanese bandits in the south.

After all, most of the extraordinary powers within the empire face the threat of evil spirits and are unable to hold on to their own one-third of an acre.

It is even more difficult to allocate strength to support other places.

But these knights errant were different.

No matter it is in the mountains, south or north, as long as it is wherever the imperial edict reaches.

As long as the government issues a reward, you can see these imperial rangers in the bitter cold places of these empires.

Compared with those wandering monks and Taoists who travel around the world and have no monastery to take them in, and they solve problems for people everywhere to make ends meet.

These knights-errant are undoubtedly more willing to stay away from human civilization, go deep into the mountains and forests, and walk through the snow-capped mountains and wastelands. In the long and arduous process of chasing monsters and monsters, they can hone their will, practice their fighting skills, and realize the sublimation of their life essence. .

And as for the reason——

As the long sword penetrated deeply into the ground.

Facing the ghost in front of him that was said to be born from the corpse of a descendant of a certain earthly human god who died early, he attacked head on.

Li Changshou did not show any panic. He took a deep breath and began his daily pre-war prayers.

"I am the person appointed by the emperor! I should uphold the etiquette of righteousness, honesty and concession! Perform filial piety and loyalty! Don't be afraid of life and death! Destroy the demons! Share the wealth and help the poor! Help the orphans and the weak! Use the rest to repay the emperor!"

Although he spoke very fast, Liu Zhen could only vaguely hear the words "Huang En" and "Loyalty".

Then he saw the ranger in front of him draw his sword and rise up. The sword was burning with golden flames and slashed towards the bones in front of him.

The sound of the two colliding was deafening.

Under the impact of the sound waves, Liu Zhen felt that his eardrums were about to rupture.

He lay on the ground and propped up his chest with both hands, trying to reduce the damage he suffered.

When he raised his head again, he saw that the ranger slashed with his long sword again and again, leaving a sword mark that penetrated deep into the bone marrow on the bone demon in front of him as white as snow.

And accompanied by the ranger slashing with his sword.

The human skin covering the body of the Bone Demon also shattered, revealing the true appearance of the Bone Demon underneath.

"The remains of Emperor Ming——"

Hearing the whispers of the ranger who took half a step back and looked at the long sword in his hand with a look of heartache on his face.

Liu Zhen once again looked at the demons in front of him, and thought about what he had heard from the West from those Mongolian traveling merchants, and he couldn't help but think.

Emperor Ming naturally does not refer to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty Li Longji.

According to legend, Li Longji's crown prince died young, and the Ming Emperor grieved and ordered his body to be placed in the Western Regions, never to be seen again.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in the Western Regions, the corpse of Prince Tang turned into a giant mountain of white bones, spreading back and forth for more than 40 miles. The locals thought it was a spectacle.

Originally, when the Tang Dynasty was still there, special people would be sent to offer sacrifices every year.

But then the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Tang Ting couldn't even save himself.

The land in the Western Region was completely lost, and the roads were blocked.

It is even more impossible to send people to the Western Regions to offer sacrifices.

As a result, self-awareness gradually emerged from this giant mountain of bones.

They began to gather together the demons and devour humans and animals.

And consciously moved towards the territory of Datang.

I don’t know how many small city-states in the Western Regions were swallowed up along the way.

And faced with this giant mountain of bones coming towards the Imperial Palace with ill intentions.

Tang Ting, which had just settled the Anlushan Rebellion through recruitment and appeasement, felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.

But at this time, the war had just ended. Tubo and Uighurs invaded Hexi again, and Nanzhao and other countries in the south were ready to make a move.

Although the three towns in Hebei surrendered in name, their main forces still remained and they were still eyeing Tang Ting.

Although the vassal towns in Hedong, Hexi, Shandong and other places nominally sided with Tang Ting.

But as the Central Army was almost completely wiped out in the war, even the emperor fled to Bashu.

At this moment, they all have their own evil intentions.

Facing internal and external troubles, the Tang court had no choice but to issue an edict and summon strange people from all over the world to go to the Western Regions to quell the White Bone Rebellion——

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, they, together with the Western Region defenders, cooperated with the local coalition forces from various countries in the Western Region, and finally repelled the giant mountain of bones after paying huge casualties.

But unfortunately, as Tubo captured Hexi, the connection between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty was completely cut off.

Tang Ting could no longer muster enough strength to continue tracking the bone demon.

Completely wipe out the evil descendants of Emperor Ming.

Liu Zhen originally thought that the so-called Ming Emperor's remains were just a half-truth and half-false legend made up by merchants in the Western Regions in order to sell their goods.

This thing——does it really exist?

Liu Zhen carefully observed the knight who had just been repelled by the ranger in front of him.

At this moment, the bone demon is curled up like a snake, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

Those bones that are obviously weirder and thicker than those of snakes and pythons, if they are regarded as part of the remains of Emperor Ming, everything will have a reasonable explanation.
