Chapter 259: The Corpse Walker
Murong Jie ran for his life, seeing Shen Chengjiao being thrown farther and farther away by him, Murong Jie boasted that there was no endless road, but unexpectedly, a big river in front of him blocked them.
Murong Jie didn't have much water, and he was almost drowned outside the hidden knife mound in the past. Now he is still carrying a cumbersome gentle jade, and he can not cross this Yangtze River, which has an undercurrent.
Murong Jie was discouraged, it seemed that his good luck had come to an end, and now he was obviously going back on his side, otherwise who could be so leaky and rain overnight.
Crossing the Yangtze River is the boundary of Jingxiang, and it is not far from Xiaoxiang Sword Mansion. Presumably, in today's Xiaoxiang Sword Mansion, there are masters of various sects, and there are no other sects, and the Xiaoxiang Sword Mansion alone is unbelievable.
No matter how powerful the old poison Shen Chengjiao is, he is definitely no match for the entire Xiaoxiang Sword Mansion, as long as he reaches the Xiaoxiang Sword Mansion, he will be considered to have found a rescuer.
But the problem is that Murong Jie doesn't know water, and there is a dying Wen Liangyu, there is neither a fisherman nor a boatman on the riverside, and Murong Jie doesn't know what to do.
The Yangtze River blocked Murong Jie's way, and seeing that Shen Chengjiao, who was left behind, chased after him little by little, Murong Jie beat his chest and was anxious.
If they were caught up by the old poison Shen Chengjiao, I am afraid that he and Wen Liangyu would definitely die, but now they have no way to escape, and Murong Jie is completely out of idea now.
Suddenly, Murong Jie seemed to notice that something was falling, like snow, but it wasn't snow.
That thing is yellow, and it must be much bigger, bits and pieces flying in the air, saying more or less, saying a lot less, Murong Jie took a few pieces curiously, and took it in his hand to see that it was yellow paper money.
Murong Jie complained bitterly, and all thoughts were discouraged in an instant. This is God, and I want him to go on the road too.
Although Murong Jie was born in the Western Regions, the Yanyun Murong clan is not a native of Loulan, but was enshrined by the emperor to sit in Loulan in the Western Regions to guard the border, and every word and deed from top to bottom of Murong Wangfu all imitates the Tang Dynasty customs rather than Loulan's customs.
This made Murong Jie know since he was a child that the yellow paper money was used to buy the road money for the dead when they came out of the funeral.
Right now, there is yellow paper money falling from the sky, this is God sending him on the road, and he is really thoughtful.
Murong Jie thought about it, things were inevitably strange, people died every day in heaven and earth, who had ever seen God throw paper money at them.
Murong Jie looked around curiously, trying to figure out what was going on with these paper money, could it be that God was really pitying him, afraid that no one would collect his body after he died, so he sent him some paper money in advance.
Murong Jie, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it. In the bushes beside Murong Jie, there was a strange team marching.
Perhaps he was only concerned about running away before, and he didn't notice the existence of these people, which made these people seem too weird.
Putting aside why someone in the team is throwing paper money, just those in the team are scared enough. Their faces were bloodless, their expressions were stiff, and they all had their eyes closed, and they walked up and down, as if their joints could not be bent, and in short, they looked ugly.
The most curious thing is that even though they all have their eyes closed and jump and jump as they walk, they always maintain a straight line, and the team marches in a very neat manner, as if they have been rigorously trained, and I am afraid that only professional soldiers can do this.
However, judging by the clothes of these guys, they don't seem to be soldiers. All of them were wearing long black robes, which had completely covered their trousers, and there were no sleeves on the black robes, and all of them wore big straw hats on their heads, which always looked uncomfortable.
It was not raining now, but the money-bearers who walked at the back were wearing a hat and a hat, and in broad daylight, they carried an oil lamp in their hands.
Murong Jie was dumbfounded, not understanding what kind of sacredness this was, but suddenly he had an idea in his heart.
If he and Wen Liangyu blended into these people, they might be able to get through the test and avoid the eyes and ears of the old poison Shen Chengjiao.
Murong Jie hurriedly rushed towards those strange people, he wanted to hide himself and Wen Liangyu before Shen Chengjiao caught up with them, only in this way could he escape Shen Chengjiao's pursuit, if he moved slowly, he was afraid that Shen Chengjiao would see through it.
Murong Jie was in a hurry to hide, how could he care about those people and blame, he lowered his head and was about to drill into the crowd, so that Shen Chengjiao could not find the two of them.
At this time, the money thrower who was last in line suddenly scolded angrily.
"Stinky boy, stinky boy, what are you messing with! If this disturbs the dead body, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
"Dead corpses?" Murong Jie looked at the last money-giver in the line in confusion.
"Don't you see, they're all dead!" complained the money-bearer.
Murong Jie suddenly felt scared out of a cold sweat, he never expected that so many people were all dead, looking at their lifeless and miserable white faces at the moment, it really made people shudder with a sense of fear, which showed that the money slaber was not lying.
"What's going on! Good dead people don't lie in coffins, they run out in broad daylight to scare anyone. Murong Jie couldn't help but scold.
Murong Jie can't be blamed for being unreasonable, in the face of such a terrible thing, no one can stay calm.
"Doll, I don't think you're a local, you don't know what we're doing here. If no one cleans them up, after 7749 days, they will all turn into ghosts and run out at night to harm the world. Therefore, I will drive these corpses back to Yizhuang, and let them live in peace for their souls, so that they will not become lonely ghosts. You're still young, so you'd better stay away from these things, lest you get into trouble with unclean things, and I can't help you at that time. The money-giver raised the hat on his head and said.
"Chase away the corpses! oh my God, there is such a thing in the world!" Murong Jie couldn't believe that there could be such a thing, a big living person with a group of dead people, just going all the way in the daylight, if it wasn't for being born in front of his eyes, Murong Jie would never have dreamed of such a thing.
"That's right, that's it. The world is so big that there are no surprises. You are still young, and many things may be known in the future. The money bearer said.
"Big brother...... Uncle...... Uncle ......, "Because he couldn't see the face of the money scatterer clearly, Murong Jie didn't know how to call the money scatterer.
"Hey, what big brother, uncle, uncle, just call me as a guide, if nothing happens, we still have to hurry. The money bearer said.
"Guide, then guide the way, brother, you actually know such a strange art, you must be a strange person who has passed through the heavens and latitudes. The younger generation is a disciple of Sizhaotang, and now he has come to Xiaoxiang to suffer innocently, and he hopes that the eldest brother who leads the way will help him. Murong Jie pleaded, he already had an idea in his heart, he wanted the money stalker to pretend to be him and Wen Liangyu, as dead corpses driven by him, so as to hide from Shen Chengjiao.
"What do you want me to do for you, is it to save the boy on your back? I don't think I have that kind of ability, you better go find a doctor." The money-giver shook his head.
"My friend's injuries can heal no matter how serious they are. It's just a monster in the mountains and forests that almost killed us. ”
