Chapter 225: The Altar
I went around the whole Feng County, and I didn't see a person, the place I had walked through, the pattern is still there, but everything is no longer the way it used to be, full of decadence and desolation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qiao Yu clearly saw the sadness in Guan Linsen's eyes, she didn't deliberately comfort him, a man like him didn't need weak and cheap comfort.
"There's no one here anymore. Qiao Yu said.
At this time, Guan Linsen was looking up at the signboard of an old pharmacy, the signboard was full of dust, here, he and Gao Zhenbei and Li Moyi, once had a dispute in order to buy a rare medicine, and in the end, there was nothing that could be solved by force, but it was tricked by Her Majesty the Empress.
"What are you looking at, smiling so happily?" Qiao Yu didn't really want an answer, she continued: "Is it far from the royal capital from here? should we go to the royal capital, even if it is a rebellion as you said, but it will not be the whole country is deserted, perhaps, this place is just like Dunhuang in the Ming Dynasty, it is just extraterritorial." ”
"No, we have to stay here. Guan Linsen said.
"This is a passage to connect with the worldly society, blessing and Li Moyi They are in the town, if they also find the way, then, they will also appear here, we will wait, they may appear soon. Guan Linsen said.
What he said was very reasonable, and Qiao Yu agreed.
"But now it looks like it's barren and uninhabited, and it's hard to get food and water to live here. "Qiao Yu is very unconfident about the conditions here.
Guan Linsen smiled: "When I got here, I'm here, and I'm afraid that I won't have anything to eat?"
First of all, he had to find a place to live, Guan Linsen still chose to live in the familiar county office, where the house was not big, and it was much easier to clean up than the Luwang Mansion.
Yiying's furniture is still there, and when I open the cabinet, there are no less bedding and pillows inside.
It's just that it's all dust, and after leaving it for so long, the fabric has long since decayed, and it turned into flying ash when touched.
It seems that it will be a very difficult project to have a good stay tonight.
"You go find something to eat, and I'll take care of things here. Qiao Yu rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to do a big job.
In Guan Linsen's heart, Qiao Yu has always been a young lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, where will she do these things, but finding food is indeed a top priority, and when the time comes, go up the mountain to see if there are any animal furs or large leaves, which can be picked off and used as bedding.
When Guan Linsen came back, it was already full of stars, and Qiao Yu had already cleaned up the entire courtyard, neatly and neatly, and the bedding on the bed looked a little familiar.
"This seems to be ......"
"Well, that's what I brought. ”
"Why did you bring a sheet and a quilt cover?" Guan Linsen had a hard time understanding.
"Because I don't think the bedding in the hotel outside is clean, I bring it by myself anyway, and it doesn't affect others, so I didn't tell you. ”
Before leaving, she saw Qiao Yu bring out a huge bag, but she really didn't bother other other other traveling companions to carry it for her all the way, so the others didn't have any objections.
Unexpectedly, now it has made a big difference.
"You actually brought the old godmother?" Guan Linsen saw a familiar glass bottle from the table.
"Hmm. ”
Guan Linsen was still worried that the seasonings in the kitchen had been placed for thousands of years, and they had long been unusable, and how should the beast meat that was brought back be cooked to remove the fishy seasoning, but now the problems have all been solved, as long as there is a bottle of old godmother, there is nothing that cannot be handled.
"It's so thoughtful. Guan Linsen praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course, what am I? Qiao Yu, who never knew what modesty was, accepted this praise calmly.
In the evening, Guan Linsen finished processing the meat and wild vegetables he picked, and then handed them over to Qiao Yu to take charge of, although they were all the taste of the old godmother, but under the light of the candlelight, the atmosphere was the most important.
This was the first time Guan Linsen had dinner alone with Qiao Yu, and he was a little nervous and wanted to say something, but a few thoughts turned in his mind and he changed several ways of opening remarks, which didn't seem to be appropriate. Therefore, he chose to be silent, put a piece of meat in his mouth, and chewed silently for a long time without swallowing it.
"Have you changed your studies to Chinese medicine?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked.
Guan Linsen hurriedly swallowed the piece of meat: "No, why do you suddenly ask that?"
"I see that you have been chewing that piece of meat for more than three minutes, I remember that Chinese medicine has said that you must chew it carefully so as not to hurt your spleen and stomach, so I asked you if you have recently started to study Chinese medicine. Qiao Yu smiled slightly.
Of course, Guan Linsen knew that she was laughing at herself, and she didn't really want to ask him about his recent research topic, so she laughed along, and the quiet dining atmosphere was broken by Qiao Yu first, hey, it seems that whether it is modern or ancient, she has to be under her control.
The worst thing is that I seem to be quite happy to be guided, and I really don't have a chance to get home.
Guan Linsen was spitting on himself to death in his heart, but he was very happy on the other hand, and continued to talk about Qiao Yu's topic.
"I wonder when the two of them will find this place?"
"It could be tonight, it could be tomorrow, it could never be found. "Qiao Yu is a rational person, she has always believed in 100% things, and it all depends on luck and probability to touch here, which is difficult to say.
"How long have you been here?"
"For more than half a year, from winter to summer, and then there was a war, the defense of Feng County, that one was really enjoyable, the 100,000 troops of Beiyan pressed the border, everyone here in Fengxian plus the defenders of Beixuan Camp were less than 10,000, and finally, relying on General Xiao's strategy, and His Royal Highness personally went into battle to supervise the battle, it was really happy that the Northern Yan army was defeated. ”
Thinking of that victory, Guan Linsen couldn't help but want to laugh now.
Looking at the ice-carved face in front of him, revealing a warm smile, Qiao Yu's heart couldn't help but move, but unfortunately his smile was not because of himself, but because of what happened in this different time and space thousands of years ago, and blessings are closely related to this time and space, perhaps, what he prefers is blessings?
Qiao Yu didn't know that he had unknowingly fallen into the illogical horns at this time, and Guan Linsen didn't know that the woman in front of him who had fallen in love with him was thinking about this kind of thing.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the two of them went back to their rooms to prepare for rest, but they heard that there seemed to be a lot of movement outside the door, and they didn't know what it was, running wildly on the road outside.
Qiao Yu opened the door and came out, and saw Guan Linsen walking towards the front yard in his clothes: "Did you hear it too?"
"Well, I'll take a look. ”
"If the blessing and Li Mo come, there shouldn't be such a loud noise, right? Be careful. ”
"What if they drive two trucks?" Guan Linsen snorted, of course, he also knew in his heart that this was impossible, and he didn't know what kind of monster was infesting here.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Guan Linsen smelled a terrible fishy smell that went straight to his nose, which was the smell of the undead cavalry in hell.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yu asked, standing behind Guan Linsen and seeing nothing.
Guan Linsen turned around and looked at her with a smile: "It's nothing, you go back to sleep, it may be an old friend who came to find me." ”
"Old friend?" Qiao Yu looked at her suspiciously.
Guan Linsen deliberately lied: "When I lived here, I also had contacts with many nomadic people, and perhaps, after this place was deserted, nomadic people often came to live temporarily, I went out to have a look, maybe I could borrow some food and drink from them." ”
"It's not going to be good for an old friend, is it?" Qiao Yu joked.
"Hey, I'm thousands of years older than all the old friends here, and they won't take a fancy to me. ”
"Then you go and come back early. ”
Guan Linsen stepped out and closed the door with his hand.
On the straight blue brick road, two rut-like roads carved out of phosphorescent bone powder, under the reflection of the moonlight, emitted glittering ominous phosphorus fires, guiding Guan Linsen's way forward.
In order to keep the Great Heng Kingdom, Empress Chenglan used the forbidden technique against the sky to summon the Hell Undead Army, and the price she paid was the curse of the undead.
After Guan Linsen's star sacrifice ceremony, he got the power of Xinghua in his body, and he had the power to introduce the curse into his body, because he had an immortal body, therefore, the power of the curse was also aggravated a lot, and the undead hated him for not entering the reincarnation, and enjoyed the sunshine freely in the human world, instead of wandering in the darkness of the underworld forever.
In today's society, although this time of year is tormenting, because it is separated from the curse by a space, the power of the curse becomes weak, and it is just like an ordinary high fever and the whole body aches for a while.
But now...... Guan Linsen smiled helplessly, he hadn't experienced the feeling of being cut by thousands of blades for a long time, it seemed that he couldn't escape tonight.
The undead knight will appear in this small city, and he must have sensed his existence, and the contract to summon the undead legion is the signatory, and he cannot take the initiative to go to other spaces, but can only be reincarnated and decided by the master of time and space, but Guan Linsen did not leave because of reincarnation.
The price paid for breaking the contract is small and pitiful for the resentment of the undead, who are coming back today to take revenge. The undead knight left behind the phosphorus fire guidance to ask him to follow him to the altar of the dead.
Probably tonight will suffer even more terrible revenge.
Guan Linsen didn't care about the torture he was about to face, he just hoped that he wouldn't disturb Qiao Yu or scare her.
Ahead, the ruined house glowed with a glowing green, presumably, it was the altar of the dead.
Guan Linsen took a deep breath and strode forward.
The moment he stepped into the ghostly light, the screams and cries of the spirits and ghosts rang out in his ears, sharp and piercing, mixed with a voice: "You broke the contract, you broke the contract......"
Many jumbled voices converge into one sentence "He broke the contract, he broke the contract......"
"Punish him! We're going to punish him!"
Sharp cries and strange laughter surrounded him, and a white line appeared under Guan Linsen's feet, leading straight to the seat made of white bones in front of him.
He walked forward step by step, his pace was steady, and there was no trace of panic.
When he sat on the bone seat, the seat instantly popped out of the white bones as sharp as a blade, piercing his wrists, legs, side waist, and shoulders.
Blood poured out in an instant, flowing on the white bone seat, soaking the white bones into a bewitching blood red.
"The smell of blood, this is the smell of blood. ”
The resentful spirits shouted like a carnival, Guan Linsen was tormented by the severe pain without a trace of strength, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he opened his mouth slightly and gasped, he couldn't even cry out in pain.
"You, what are you doing here?" Qiao Yu's voice suddenly came from the door, Guan Linsen tried to open his eyes, his lips squirmed, and a faint voice sounded: "Hurry up, go quickly......"
"This woman also smells of contract...... But the contract was not with her. ”
Strange voices echoed through the altar, "The contract has changed?" "She's the one who signed the contract." "Get her too." "We can't arrest two people. ”
"But she's a contractor. ”
There seemed to be a disagreement between the undead, and the pain on Guan Linsen's body, as if he had been cut by a knife, was slightly reduced, but the part that was pierced by the bone knife, the blood still flowed out freely.
"Do you already know that this will happen when you come here?" Qiao Yu looked at him, a cramp in her heart, she wanted to pick him up, just touching him lightly, Guan Linsen couldn't help but exhale in pain, the magic attached to the bone knife, until the blood sacrifice was completed, it was impossible to let the sacrifice leave.
"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Yu asked.
Guan Linsen tried to squeeze out a smile: "It's okay, it will be fine soon." ”
"You're like this, tell me you'll be fine soon?" Qiao Yu bit his lip and looked around for something, trying to break the bone seat.
"It's useless. Guan Linsen saw her thoughts, "Before they have discussed what to do with you, you can go quickly, as long as you are not in the Bone Altar, they have no way to take you, you do not belong to this time and space, your soul is designated by the space-time administrator to reincarnate, you and I are different." ”
"I don't care, no one can hurt you without my permission!" Qiao Yu lifted the stone and smashed it the white bone seat, but it had no effect at all.
"She wants to destroy the sacrifice. ”
"Kill her. ”
"Yes, kill her. ”
"Two sacrifices, will make us even happier, kill her ......"
The arguing undead, because of Qiao Yu's move, quickly reached a unanimous opinion, and from the void, many bone blades were conjured, and they spun rapidly and shot towards Qiao Yu.
With Qiao Yu's excellent motor nerves, there was still a bone blade that did not dodge, and a long hole was torn open on the clothes on his back.
