Verse 546: The City of Bitter Passes
But what made everyone in the city feel the most miserable was the attack on the city by the dead, and when he said this, the shopkeeper sighed, and his eyes showed a deep look of horror.
Xiao Er said: "Many of the deceased are villagers who died before, and they are resurrected again at this time, but they all have no mind, and they attack the small city together with other dead souls, which is the most unacceptable thing for the people of Kuguan City." ”
Nangong Yuhuan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Then why don't you deceased choose cremation?"
Xiao Er smiled bitterly and said: "I also used cremation before, but you know the fairy, decades ago, the world was in turmoil, and the souls of the soul continent attacked us like crazy, and many people died at that time, and it was too late to be cremated and buried, and they were robbed by the evil ghosts of the soul continent, and they became their accomplices." ”
Nangong Yuhuan nodded and said, "I have also heard of that war, and our sect also sent people to participate in the war at that time. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that those masters have left later, and we were prosperous here at that time, although it was a bit chaotic. Xiao Er couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Sheng was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "What is the purpose of these revenant souls attacking us?"
Xiao Er glanced at Mu Shengdao: "Immortal Chief, don't you know, those undead souls need blood food offerings when they cultivate to a certain stage, just like we need a panacea, and the Soul Continent has many ice fields, although there are also some ice and snow demon beasts for their blood food, but they are not directly used as blood food for the living." ”
Mu Sheng nodded slightly after hearing this, and Nangong Yuhuan then asked, "Then is the frequency of this revenant soul attacking the city high?"
Xiao Er shook his head: "A few decades ago, there were wars almost at any time, but now there are fewer of them, and even if there is an attack on the city, it is small-scale, and it is not a big problem." ”
Nangong Yuhuan smiled when he heard this: "So, there are still masters stationed in your city?"
Xiao Er puffed up his chest proudly when he heard this: "That's natural, we have the support of senior monks in the city." ”
Mu Sheng frowned imperceptibly and asked, "Are there no officers and soldiers?"
"Yes, there is, they are usually maintaining order, and they are also handling small wars, but if you meet the big guy in the soul, you can only rely on the monks of Donglin Temple. ”
"Oh, the high monk of Donglin Temple, how high is his cultivation?" Nangong Yuhuan asked with interest.
"I don't know about this little one, just like the cultivation of the two of you, the little one can't see it. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Mu Sheng smiled slightly, this little two would also wear a high hat, and he complimented the two of them without a trace. "There aren't many times when you need a monk to make a move, right?"
"Well, that's right, the ordinary revenant has its own officers and soldiers to clean it up. ”
"Are they easy to deal with?"
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "Don't look at them without minds, but their bodies don't know why? After death, they become extremely hard, they are simply invulnerable, and the most terrifying thing is that even if their bodies are cut off, they can still walk and move." ”
"Isn't the magic weapon useful to them either?" Nangong Yuhuan said strangely.
Shopkeeper sighed and said, "These ghosts can spew corpse qi to pollute the magic weapon, and it is very difficult to deal with corpse poison on their bodies." ”
Mu Sheng bowed his head slightly and said, "It seems that most of the magic weapons you use to deal with these ghosts are fire attribute magic weapons, right?"
"Hey, how do you know, Immortal Chief?" Xiao Er looked at Mu Sheng in surprise.
"I guess. Mu Sheng smiled and didn't explain, the fire element in these five elements can be used to remove filth and filth, and it is the best way to deal with these evil things.
"Hey, it's just that the corpses have been burned beyond recognition, and I can't recognize who is who in the original appearance anymore!" Xiao Er sighed, and he was also very entangled.
After asking about these ghosts and ghosts, the two asked some other things, including how to get to Sanxian Island, but Xiao Er didn't know that there was still Sanxian Island, only knew that there was a living island on the other side of the soul continent, and it was necessary to cross the soul island to reach it.
Mu Sheng and Nangong Yuhuan glanced at each other after hearing this, and then they knew why there were so few people from Sanxian Island who could go to Ancestral Continent, and once they came, they would be valued by various sects and become influential figures.
The two chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, until they almost understood, and then let the little two leave, and the two were trying to sit cross-legged and rest as usual, but just sat cross-legged, before they had time to breathe, they heard the alarm of the enemy attack suddenly sounded in the city of Kuguan.
The two glanced at each other, and Mu Sheng said: "It's not such a coincidence, we just asked about the attack on the city today, and there will be an attack by the revenant soul today?"
"Let's go, go out and have a look. Nangong Yuhuan got up from sitting down first and opened the door of the inn. The inn was already a mess, but fortunately, because it was located in the border pass and was desolate, the inn was not built very well, and there were not many people living there, so it was quickly pacified by Xiao Er.
Mu Sheng and Nangong Yuhuan walked out of the inn hand in arm, and were stopped by the shopkeeper and said: "Please don't be impatient, this is not the time to go out, I am afraid that the sword has no eye and injured the two of them." ”
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, our kind of cultivation is not an ordinary sword injury." "It's not hidden, and the coercion of the Yuan Infant Stage is exerted.
The shopkeeper was caught off guard and almost knelt down for Mu Sheng, but Mu Sheng secretly used his spiritual power, so he took a few steps back and stood firm.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "In this case, the two seniors just go to watch the battle." ”
Nangong Yuhuan smiled and walked out of the door of the inn with Mu Sheng. Outside the city, the flames were already raging, and the two of them rose into the air and rose to a high place. Looking down, although this Kuguan City is guarded by officers and soldiers, but there is no protective formation to activate, it seems that on the territory of Nanhua, this is not a military town, but a dispensable small town, which is not enough to waste a lot of manpower and material resources to protect.
The two of them saw that there was a war outside the city, and the revenant zombies were attacking the city gate with dry bones and other things, and what was even more strange was that these revenant zombies and skeletons would even take a ladder and climb up one by one, and the people defending the city in the city shot arrows together, and those arrows were stained with fire oil, and they burned on the dried corpses, but these dried corpses did not have the slightest consciousness, and still bravely attacked the city gate and the city wall.
There were soldiers defending the city pouring burning oil from the city wall, burning so that the human ladder made of dried corpses crackled and burned into a ball, just when Mu Sheng thought that the defense of the city was going to win, suddenly a zombie commander standing behind him raised his hands together, blew a snowstorm in the sky, and extinguished the flames in an instant.
Nangong Yuhuan sighed, and was about to take a closer look, when he heard a stern voice in his ear: "Who is standing in the air?"
