This is a very, very simple Anxi Protectorate...

There are no towering city walls and no rows of soldiers.

In fact, there is not even a decent city.

Rather than saying that this is the famous Anxi Protectorate in history, which suppressed the Western Regions for many years, it is better to say that this is a huge camp.

Small thatched huts and wooden huts stand up one after another, with a fence built of wood around the perimeter, enclosing the entire camp. This is the so-called "Anxi Protector's Mansion".

Obviously, this is a brand new Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, not the historical Anxi Protectorate's Mansion. This Anxi Protectorate's Mansion was temporarily built by these people who came back from the dead after crawling out of the tomb.

When we see such an Anxi Protectorate, we are inevitably a little surprised.

Li Zhen came. After a day's trek, he suppressed his madness and murderous intention very well, and returned to the appearance of the elegant young nobleman. He smiled and said to me that his soldiers would arrange a place for us.

Let us stay first, and if we have any needs, just tell his soldiers directly. From today on, those of us are his disciples. He is responsible for supporting us, and we are waiting for his call at any time, and he will look for opportunities.

Introduce us to the Protector named Zhu and help us find a living in the Protectorate of Anxi.

I looked at the simple camp in front of me and asked him, is this the Anxi Protectorate?

Li Zhen said matter-of-factly that this was the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion. But after saying that, he was obviously stunned. A flash of confusion flashed across his face, and he scratched his head. The confusion quickly faded away, and he looked sure again.

Said, of course this is the Anxi Protectorate.

Then he left, leaving behind the soldier who first asked Wushuang for the Mo Dao. This person was his personal soldier.

The man nodded to us and rode ahead, asking us to follow him.

"This is normal."

Seeing me thinking, Yu Zhenzi lowered his voice and said with a smile: "I have heard a little bit about their existence.

People like them who have been resurrected from the dead are actually the most homeless group of beings in the world. They don’t know that they are dead, but the real world will not change according to their ideas, and will always conflict with their memories.

At this time, their lives with nowhere to go will seem at a loss and out of tune with the real world.

As a result, everything they see in the real world will replace the appearance in their memory. You can understand that this is a kind of reconciliation with themselves driven by instinct. Otherwise, how can we explain the rationality of their lives that have nowhere to go?

Woolen cloth?

Therefore, Li Zhen’s memory may not be completely correct.”

I nodded, as if I vaguely understood what the old man meant, which was nothing more than that there is no Anxi Protector's Mansion in their memories. This so-called Anxi Protector's Mansion was rebuilt after they crawled out of the tomb.

When they come out, this conflicts with their memory and reminds them of the truth. Once they realize that they are dead, the rationality of their life existence is questioned at that time, and the first person to collapse is

themselves, so they will subconsciously force themselves to believe that this simple Anxi Protectorate is their former Anxi Protectorate...

…

After the long army dragged an endless convoy of horses and cattle into the camp, many people rushed out of the simple houses.

These people have obvious characteristics of Central Plains people, and their clothes are also the same. They should be Tang people who once lived in the Western Regions. Now they have all come back to life and gathered together.

When they saw Li Zhen coming back, they cheered excitedly.

This moment belongs to Li Zhen.

We were led by Li Zhen's personal soldier into the dark depths of the camp, and finally they found a few thatched houses for us on the southeastern edge.

Afterwards, this man chatted with us for a while, mostly gossip, mostly asking us if we had any other needs. Finally, he left an address and told us where we could go to him if we had anything to do, and then the man left.

After he left, we all immediately gathered in a thatched house for a small meeting. Of course, Zhuang Li and Shi Lei were silently excluded by us.

After roughly discussing the current situation and establishing the goals, everyone split up and went to rest. The first day here was thrilling, and we were indeed a little tired both physically and mentally.

It was an uneventful night, and the next day, Li Zhen came to visit us. When she left, she called Wu Shuang and me, saying that the guardian named Zhu had some free time today and could take us to see him.

If I ask for anything, I will naturally grant it.

The guard named Zhu is a man about forty years old. He is fair and chubby, with a mustache. He looks more like a businessman than an official. He is actually extremely kind.

First, he praised Wushuang and I, calling us righteous men, and then followed it up with hard words. It was like a leader giving instructions, and the official tone was quite good.

The time he met with us was very short, only for a stick of incense at most. During this period, I also asked a few guiding questions, such as what he planned to do in the face of the current situation in the Western Regions, and whether there was any good way.

It was necessary to eliminate the root cause and avoid future troubles. Unfortunately, this person didn't know anything about it and failed to provide any useful clues.

But this also illustrates one thing. The crazy thing they did happened very suddenly, and there was not much preparation. At least for now, there are no signs of it.

After meeting the Protector named Zhu, we returned to our residence. In the next few days, we basically stayed here and chatted with the people around us. Unfortunately, we did not find any clues.

During this period, Li Zhen took people out several times.

Every time, he would call me and Wushuang.

Every time we go out, we witness the destruction of a small tribe.

Large tribes with thousands or even tens of thousands of people like the Cypriots have never been seen again, but there are many small tribes with two to three thousand people.

Li Zhen and his men were wandering here like a cloud of death. Wherever they passed, creatures were harvested like wheat.

There are really too many people who have come back from the dead here, far more than I imagined. Just like Li Zhen described, these people seem to be endlessly killed.

After several times, Li Zhen's trust in us has grown to a higher level, but there is still no progress in what we want to investigate.

Until, after living in this place for nearly ten days, I followed Li Zhen out again to kill people and came back. After entering the thatched house covered in blood, I found...my master and the others were all gathered here.

Li Jianglong pulled Wushuang and I to sit down by the bed. He poked his head out with a sly look and peeked around before quietly closing the door.

Then, Kou Laowu lowered his voice and said: "We have made a discovery, and it is a major discovery!!"
