He then had his senior disciples move the corpses of the two sled carts dragged behind the Uighurs to a tent for dissection. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The corpse was frozen hard in the wind and snow, and Yang Xianmao's scalpel was very difficult to cut, so he simply pulled out his black dagger from the boot and easily cut through the chest and abdomen of the hard corpse.

After checking it, it turned out to be the same as the corpse in the tent and the corpses in front of it, the internal organs were withered and withered, as if they had been exposed to the sun in the desert for a long time.

Yang Xianmao was stunned for a long time before he re-stitched the three corpses, put on their clothes, restored them to their original state, and asked the eldest disciple to carry the corpses out and put them on the original sleigh cart.

Yang Xianmao went straight to the tent where Huang Ding and Kang Mo and the others were imprisoned, and after entering, he took out his waist knife, cut the cow tendon rope tied behind Huang Ding, and said: "Bao Xiong and Yu Hefei were not killed by you, you are free." ”

Huang Ding didn't know what was going on outside, and when he saw Yang Xianmao suddenly come in, he cut off the rope for him, and he was about to leave after saying these two words, so he was surprised and happy and quickly stopped, and said: "I said a long time ago that I didn't kill the two of them, you don't believe it." By the way, sir, why do you believe me again now!"

Yang Xianmao said: "The two brothers of the two Uighurs of Gaochang died mysteriously on the way, and last night, another companion also died mysteriously. I just dissected the bodies of the three of them, and found that their deaths were the same as those of Yu Hefei and Bao Xiong. I verified that the time of their brothers' death was when you were with us, so you certainly didn't kill their brothers. Therefore, exclude your suspicions. The murderer should be someone else. ”

Huang Ding was dumbfounded. The joy of his previous clearing of his grievances was now overshadowed by death. He said nervously to Yang Xianmao: "Could it be that there are really ghosts on this ice field?

Yang Xianmao said in a deep voice: "In addition to this kind of ghost that sucks up yang energy, there are also monsters that bite off half of a person's body. Not only did Xiao Gan meet them, but the two Gaochang Uighurs also met on the way. A few of their retinues were bitten off by some strange and unknowable monster and died. ”

Huang Ding said nervously: "Then what should we do?"

Yang Xianmao said: "Let's discuss it together, this matter is related to everyone's life safety, and we must listen to everyone's opinions." ”

All the people were gathered into the tent, and the eldest disciple was in charge of guarding a few prisoners who did not come, and when Feng Qiuyu and the others saw that Huang Ding had followed Yang Xianmao freely, they were all a little surprised. Yang Xianmao said his inference, and those people also fully understood, so he smiled apologetically at Huang Ding.

After they sat down in the tent, Yang Xianmao said, "I thought that the ghost didn't come to us again along the way, but I didn't expect him to follow us all the time." - Well, I can't say that, I should say that there is more than one monster on this ice field, there may be many, because they killed two of the two brothers and their retinue of the Ghochang Uighurs at the same time, and killed another of their companions last night. The death is the same as that of Yu Hefei and Bao Xiong. I now need all of you to express your opinions. Shall we move on, or shall we turn back?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak.

In the end, Xuxuanzi spoke: "The poor road is to continue to move forward, the poor road has a spell, and the ghosts can't get close to you." Ghosts can't hurt the poor. Don't worry, Poor Dao is just that his body hasn't completely recovered these days, and when I recover, I'll do a magic thing and destroy all the ghosts, and they won't be able to hurt us. ”

Huang Qiaoqiao snorted and said, "Don't brag, you did Dharma before, you said that the ghosts will not harm us again, but as a result, the Uighurs of Gaochang who were with us died, what do you say?"

Xuxuanzi smiled and said, "Miss Huang, didn't you listen to Lord Yang? This kind of ghost is only afraid of more than one ghost on the ice field, so being killed by me before does not mean that the same ghost will not appear in the future." This time, I'm afraid that it will be the ghosts of that gang, but I am seriously injured now, and I can't do it, and when I get better, they won't be able to escape. ”

Feng Qiuyu didn't speak all the time, lowering his head. Until Yang Xianmao called her name: "Sister Feng, what about you?"

Feng Qiuyu slowly raised his head. Her face was a little pale, and she glanced at Yang Xianmao and said, "I am a person who has died once, so I have a very light view of life." This time, I know that I have no possibility of getting the Immortal Pill, but if I don't participate in such a grand event, I will feel as if people owe something in this life, not to mention, three of our five brothers have died on this road, leaving me and Huang Ding, if we retreat halfway at this time, the three of them will laugh at me in the spirit of heaven. So, I'm going to take a look, no matter what the outcome is. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded, and then glanced back at Huang Qiaoqiao, who was sitting beside him.

Huang Qiaoqiao glanced at him and said, "I want to come, but I will never regret what I promised, so I don't need to ask me, I will definitely follow you." ”

Hearing him say this, Feng Qiuyu glanced at her with a complicated expression.

Yang Xianmao's gaze finally looked at Huang Ding.

Huang Ding touched his beard and said, "Don't look at me, I'm definitely going to go." -- Of our five siblings, there is only the third sister left, and the third sister is going, so of course I have to follow her. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "Since this is the case, then the opinion of all of us is to continue to travel north, of course, I myself have this opinion, then let's continue to set off." ”

Huang Ding suddenly interjected and said, "I have a suggestion, let's just throw those Khitans on the ice field and leave them alone." -- Why do you have to spend food to feed them? Food is very important on the ice field, and without food you will definitely die. ”

Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "I have already told him to let him escort us all the way to the extremely arctic cold place, and he has agreed." In exchange, I kept a secret for him."

"What's the secret?"

"Since it's all a secret, of course you can't say it. ”

This secret is that Yang Xianmao will not tell others that Xiao Gan has told Yang Xianmao all the important information such as the number of troops sent by the Liao army to the ice field, the leading generals of the strategic deployment, and Yang Xianmao has already urgently transmitted this news to the Great Song Emperor, I don't know, can it be used.

Since there is already such a condition for the two sides to exchange, Huang Ding and the others will no longer say anything.

Then they packed their bags and continued their journey north in a sleigh wagon.

In the next few days, they encountered a wave of treasure hunters on the road, and they were reluctant to go with them. Fortunately, there were no similar murders, as if death had forgotten them, everything was safe, and no one else was encountered on the way. Although it was always night, there was no snowstorm, but the further north you go, the brighter the sun becomes at noon, but fortunately, there is a reflection of snow, so you can see farther away.

On this day, they were walking forward, and suddenly, Feng Qiuyu behind him sped up the speed of the sled, ran to Yang Xianmao's side, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't seem to be quite right." ”

"What's wrong?"

"There was a strange smell wafting from the wind, as if it were some kind of animal. ”

Yang Xianmao rubbed his nose vigorously, frowned and said, "I didn't smell anything, what is it?"

Feng Qiuyu shook his head and said, "I can't say the specifics, but it must be an animal taste." Because, in all these past days, along the way, I have never smelled anything like this. Smelled for the first time today, and certainly the smell of some kind of animal. ”

Yang Xianmao pointed to the sled dogs in front of him and said, "Could it be their smell?"

Feng Qiuyu shook his head and said, "It's not the same as the taste of a dog." I've never smelled it before, and it seems to be relatively strong, so why can't you smell it?"

Yang Xianmao smiled bitterly and said, "You taught me to practice eyesight, so my eyesight is okay, but my nose is not very good." You girls are naturally clean, so you can smell it, but I can't. ”

Feng Qiuyu's face became more and more solemn, staring ahead. The wind was blowing from that direction, and she suddenly shouted, "It's better to be cautious, stop and prepare to meet the enemy." If I'm wrong, you can laugh at me. If I'm right, let's be prepared, so as not to suffer losses in a hasty response to the enemy. I always felt that this monster smelled so strong, but I was afraid that it was a big guy, very big, big. ”

When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Is it the monster that the dragon is devouring their countless sled dogs?

Xiao Gan said that their more than 200 soldiers were eaten by monsters in an instant, how big should this thing be, I am afraid that these soldiers of theirs will be eaten as shrimp.

Therefore, Yang Xianmao immediately ordered to stop advancing and told everyone about Feng Qiuyu's discovery.

When everyone heard this, they immediately became nervous, and immediately drew their blades and lined up the sled dogs. With dogs in front of them, sled dogs are very powerful. They were ready to cut the ropes and release the sled dogs to bite the monsters, and then they took advantage of the situation.

After waiting for a while, nothing appeared in front of me. It was still night, and by the reflection I could see hundreds of paces away, and there was nothing on the vast plain.

Suddenly, Xiao Gan's voice called him from behind him, and his voice was very anxious: "Lord Yang!"

Yang Xianmao glanced ahead, but found no trace of the enemy, so he quickly returned to the sleigh car with a single knife in hand, came to Xiao Gan's side, and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Gan's face was heavy, and he said, "If you want to live, let me go quickly." ”

Yang Xianmao frowned and said, "You have no head or brain, say clearly, what's going on?"

Xiao Gan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said, "It's not a monster coming in front, it's the White Bear Army that has been reformed by Lang Lang. ”

Some Mao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is the White Bear Army?"

The White Bear Army is a kind of big white bear on the ice field trained by the Langgai tribe next to the ice field, trained since childhood, and is very fierce by nature, this kind of bear skin is very thick, and ordinary swords can't hurt it at all. I didn't know it before, but after I came this time, I found out that there was such a special army in the Langgai. ”
