Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Crisis Returns
Ji Youtang also tentatively slowly opened Yan Yulin's door, only to see Yan Yulin grinding ink and breaking paper with a serious face, and did not look up at Ji Youtang, which can be regarded as acquiescing to Ji Youtang's entry into the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing Ji Tianshi walk in, Zhu Houxun couldn't help it, he wanted to see what kind of legend this legendary Yan Xiucai was, so that this group of people could travel all the way from the future to the past, just to find him.
Zhu Houxun ignored Xue Ming's dissuasion on the side, and insisted on going in to find out, although Xue Ming tried his best to prevent Zhu Houxun from entering the house and ruined Ji Youtang's plan, but this bear child really couldn't resist him, so he could only go in with him, and motioned for Nayila and Ding Ling to wait outside the house. After all, such a small grass hut, with so many people suddenly pouring in, it will inevitably make Yan Yulin feel strange, so it's better not to startle the snake.
As soon as the two entered the house, Ji Youtang made a 'shh And Yan Yulin also suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two more strangers in his house, and just wanted to ask, he saw Ji Youtang politely introduce the identity and relationship of the two, since he is a friend of this Ji Gongzi, then there is nothing to ask, he is a poor talent anyway, and his family is as poor as washing, so he doesn't believe that any bandits and robbers will be interested in his family wealth, so he politely nodded to Zhu Houxun and Xue Ming to show respect.
The three of them silently looked at Yan Yulin's inscription in the house, only to see Yan Yulin holding the brush vigorously, writing one by one, so serious.
After a while, Yan Yulin breathed a sigh of relief, gently put the brush in his hand on the inkstone, slowly stood up from the seat, and invited a group of three people to observe his work.
The four big characters of "Zhengda Guangming" immediately caught the eyes of Ji Youtang and the others.
Although Ji Youtang and Xue Ming couldn't understand what Yan Yulin was writing about, Zhu Houxun was a person who understood the scriptures, and from these four big characters alone, it could be observed that Yan Yulin's danqing attainments were not low.
To say that although Zhu Houxun is a bear child, as the king of a country, his usual cultivation is still very qualified, and he has some ink in his stomach, so he talks to Yan Yulin, and Yan Yulin can also answer Zhu Houxun's questions like flowing water.
Taking advantage of this time, Ji Youtang quietly took a few steps back, picked up the mirror demon on his left hand, and asked.
"Dude, how are you doing? Are you sure? ā
I saw the mirror demon standing in Ji Youtang's thick palm, nodding unexpectedly, and placing it in front of Ji Youtang's eyes with a confident look. Ji Youtang pursed his lips with satisfaction, it seems that this little black stone is still quite powerful, and he should have an eighty or ninety percent certainty! So Ji Youtang gently grasped his hand tightly, and for a while, a bright light burst out of Ji Youtang's palm, but fortunately, Ji Youtang immediately covered it with his other hand, and did not leak the bright light to illuminate the entire room. Immediately, Ji Youtang put the mirror demon that turned into a black tassel back on the knot rope and hung it up.
After a simple exchange, Zhu Houxun found that the scholar named Yan Yulin in front of him was indeed as Ji Youtang and his party said, Yan Yulin was indeed full of wealth, a scholar who was well-versed in ancient and modern times, and indeed had a talent for show.
Zhu Houxun simply took Yan Yulin's vein, and felt that it was a material that could be made, so he forgot about it for a while, and whispered softly.
"Well...... If this person is used by the imperial court, he must be a pillar of talent. ā
Unexpectedly, this subtle murmur was clearly heard by Xue Ming on the side. Xue Ming slapped his hand on Zhu Houxun's shoulder without hesitation, pulled Zhu Houxun closer to him, and quietly leaned his head on Zhu Houxun's ear and said.
"What a building! This man is not spiritual! Don't mess around, beware of your country ruined in his hands! ā
Zhu Houxun was very stunned by Xue Ming's words, so he quietly turned his head away and asked softly.
"Huh? What's wrong with this man? Isn't that quite talented? What does it mean to be ineffective? ā
Xue Ming noticed that Zhu Houxun didn't agree with his opinion very much, so he frowned tightly and replied softly and seriously.
"Ahem, the so-called incompetence means that this person is not good, eh...... The so-called bad means that he is not a good person, but a person who brings disaster to the country and the people! Therefore, Ji Tianshi deliberately returned to ancient times, planning to find out, to go back to the future and change this person's life! Did You Know? You must not let this person be an official! Kindness...... It's not good to catch fast! ā
This is quite embarrassing, Zhu Houxun only felt that Xue Ming had an obvious resentment when he said this, and there was a great prejudice against Yan Yulin, but since Xue Ming had moved our Ji Tianshi out, was there any fake? Although Xue Ming is not a Heavenly Master, he is also a good friend of Ji Tianshi, and he is also my Zhu Houxun's brother-in-law, Xue Ming should not deceive me.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houxun nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Xue Ming's point of view.
After a few greetings, Ji Youtang looked at the sky outside the door and it was not early, and the sun had already set slightly, so he and Xue Ming and Zhu Houxun made a look, it was almost time to leave, and the brothers hurried up.
Having said that, Zhu Houxun still felt that if the person in front of him was not reused, it would be a pity to be tight, but what could he do about it, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Houxun finally slowly touched the sleeve tube of his robe for a long time, took out a small silver ingot, and handed it to Yan Yulin.
"Yan Gongzi, this inscription will be taken away, and you will accept this silver ingot."
Obediently rumbling hole.
This Yan Yulin has never seen such a large 'denomination' of silver taels, although he is blushing at this large amount of wealth in front of him, but he also has a bit of the backbone of a scholar, and he did not accept the silver immediately, but pushed Zhu Houxun's hand to the side and waved his hand.
"Zhu Gongzi is very polite, just a pair of inscriptions, where is it worth so much money, if Zhu Gongzier and his party really appreciate Xiaosheng's talent, it is better to invite Xiaosheng to drink a pot of wine another day."
Don't say, Zhu Houxun really eats hard and not soft, if you really take it, that's it, if you don't take it alive or dead, this won't work, I Zhu Houxun will reward you, that is I appreciate you, and I respect you as a man, you have to take this silver ingot, and you have to take it if you don't take it! Zhu Houxun didn't talk nonsense with Yan Yulin, grabbed Yan Yulin's hand, smashed the silver in his hand hard, pinched it heavily, and didn't let him go.
You must know that this Zhu Houxun has practiced martial arts, Yan Yulin's small body, he has no power to restrain the chicken, which is Zhu Houxun's opponent, he can only watch Zhu Houxun hold this silver ingot in his hand, and there is no way to break free.
Gotcha, take it, take it.
Zhu Houxun finally put on the appearance of an emperor, and without waiting for Yan Yulin to react, he immediately waved his hand and motioned for Ji Youtang and Xue Ming to follow him out of the house.
The group finally successfully left Yan Yulin, met together outside the small grass house, and sent Jun Qianli to say goodbye, since the task of Ji Youtang and his party has been completed, then they can almost go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.
After Zhu Houxun learned that Ji Youtang and his party should almost leave the world where they were, he was immediately sad, but he had no choice but to drag one step at a time, Zhu Houxun hoped that the big guy could return to the Yuelai Inn, have a good meal, and then leave.
Ji Youtang quietly glanced at Nayila, Nayila also agreed with Zhu Houxun's meaning, and nodded lightly, presumably Nayila is still very measured about the time hourglass hidden in her chest, since Nayila agreed, there should be no problem. This time, let's rely on our baby Zhu Houxun first, otherwise it will definitely not stop next, rather than being dragged by Zhu Houxun next, like an old woman's footwrap stinky and long, it is better to follow the emperor, and it is not a bad choice to gather and disperse.
Zhu Houxun reluctantly walked at the front of the team, leading the people of the tour group to the direction of the Yuelai Inn, after all, once this is to the Yuelai Inn, this means that he is about to be separated from the sister and brother-in-law in front of him, and finally has the feeling of being like a relative, a close friend, not enjoying a few days but losing it in front of him, obviously, for Zhu Houxun in front of him, this is a very cruel thing.
Just as the group was slowly walking in the direction of Yuelai Inn, suddenly, there were always panicked villagers fleeing in all directions on the rugged path, which stunned a group of people, what happened to this? Why did the villagers on the island behave like this?
Seeing that there were more and more people fleeing on the path, and they kept screaming and shouting for help, all of them seemed very panicked, Zhu Houxun felt that this matter should not be as simple as it seemed, and he always felt that there must be something hidden behind this matter.
So Zhu Houxun immediately grabbed an escaped islander and asked.
"Old man! Old man! What's going on? What are you all running away from? ā
I saw that the old man who was grabbed by Zhu Houxun was covered with sweat, his expression was flustered, his body was still trembling, he seemed to be scared to the extreme, he was talking with flutes, stammering, with a big tongue on his front teeth, it was difficult for people to hear what he said.
"Yes...... There are youkai! Cannibalism...... Cannibalism...... That's a lot of people...... Ah Chi's father cannibalized people!! Ahhh ā
I saw that the old man shouted again after saying this sentence without a beginning or an end, as if he was crazy, he exerted amazing strength and pushed Zhu Houxun aside, Zhu Houxun didn't stand firmly, and saw that he was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, Ji Youtang on the side reacted quickly, and immediately went to carry Zhu Houxun on his shoulder, this scene really scared Nayila, this brother-in-law is really reliable at a critical time.
But then again, what the hell is going on with all this, why did the previous good insect song island suddenly become so chaotic, the islanders on the island seem to be crazy and fleeing like crazy, plus what the old man said before, what does this mean, is there a man-eating monster? Is that what it means?
The group was really confused after thinking for a long time, but fortunately, when the group was confused, Ji Youtang still kept calm, after all, he had seen such a storm before, and now the six people in the group did not seem to be idle, so Ji Youtang did not feel the slightest sense of fear at the moment, but kept warning himself that he must not be chaotic, and he must not be chaotic.
Seeing that everyone was standing stupidly in place, Ji Youtang shouted and said.
"Everyone, let's all follow these fleeing islanders and run in the direction of their escape, at the very least, we need to know what happened before the most important thing."
After that, everyone was finally called back by Ji Youtang's call and brought back their souls.
They all nodded their heads, expressing their agreement with Ji Youtang's point of view, and it was Ji Youtang who took advantage of the situation to pull up Nayila's slender right hand behind him, and followed the islanders not far in front of him, following the escape route of the fleeing islanders, and followed closely behind them.
It's good that this doesn't run down, after running up with the islanders, I found that the island was almost a mess, not only the chaos that happened in the blacksmith shop before, but also the riot on the side of the Yuelai Inn, I saw that the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn poked his head out, and then retracted his head again, and then heard a sparse sound of locking the door, the doors and windows of the Yuelai Inn were locked, no matter how the islanders outside the Yuelai Inn banged the door of the Yuelai Inn hard, and wanted to go in to dodge, but the shop Xiaoer just didn't open the door. The islanders who were slapping outside the door almost collapsed, and the original loud shouts gradually turned into a bitter cry, heartbreaking. I saw that these islanders were simply crazy, and their palms slapped the door of the Yuelai Inn and there was blood, but they refused to leave, as if this Yuelai Inn was the last life-saving straw in their eyes.
And just when the group was stunned by the scene in front of them, a terrifying roar suddenly came, one after another, and it reached the ears of Ji Youtang and his party endlessly.
This roar made Ji Youtang's hairs stand up in an instant.
It's over, this roar Ji Youtang is no longer familiar, don't think about it, the old zombie is infested again.
This is not the most annoying, what is the most annoying, Ji Youtang finally came back to his senses.
The old man just said, Ah Zhi Ta Dad ate people, I am afraid the meaning is that this old zombie took advantage of the sun setting, the yang energy of the whole island gradually weakened, and the old zombie was born again to harm the world, biting the so-called Ah Zhi Ta Daddy, and at the same time Ah Zhi Ta Dad who was infected by the old zombie to the corpse poison also became a zombie, but those islanders who did not know would also not realize the danger of Ah Zhi Ta Dad who was infected with the corpse poison. The drive of this infection must be spreading throughout the island of Wormsong in a trend of defeat.
I finally know why this roar from before was so continuous.
Yan Cripple is not the only one who has been infected and turned into zombies, and now I am afraid that there is a large zombie corps on the entire Wormsong Island.
Just as Ji Youtang's mind was racing to analyze the whole thing, his thoughts were suddenly pulled back by Xue Ming, and Ji Youtang saw that after being gently patted on the shoulder, Xue Ming slowly lifted up, pointed forward, and said slowly.
"Old Ji, look."
Ji Youtang looked in the direction of Xue Ming's finger and looked fixedly.
Four, no, six, seven, eight zombies, were slowly walking in the direction of the Yuelai Inn.
I saw that the eight zombies on the way slowly, there will always be a few zombies in front of them scared soft feet, fell to the ground and fell to the ground islanders, although the speed of these zombies is not fast, it can even be said that this speed is simply a turtle crawling, but for those islanders who have been frightened by the zombies in front of them and completely lost their actions, even if these zombies are turtle crawls, but they can still easily chase themselves who fell to the ground, those islanders who were captured by zombies, and then the moment they were touched by zombies, He has already been pronounced dead.
Those zombies don't reason with these innocent islanders, once a zombie catches the islanders, they immediately bite on the islanders' bodies, and they don't let go, no matter how those islanders struggle, they can't break free from the zombies' hard teeth, and can only be screamed by the pain and misery that followed. Unfortunately, once this shout came out of the islanders' mouths, it was like sending a message to the rest of the zombies around me: I've been caught, come and eat me, I can't escape.
These zombies will immediately rush away, and the bodies of these innocent islanders are like a piece of fresh and delicious Kobe beef in the eyes of these zombies. No one wants to be left behind, no one wants to eat less. There are two situations for islanders who are bitten by zombies, one is relatively lucky, after being bitten by zombies and trying your best to escape, you can quietly find a place, wait for your corpse poison to infect your whole body, and happily wait for yourself to become a member of the zombie army. And the other, as mentioned above, since you have been bitten and you can't escape, then I'm sorry for you, unfortunately, you are about to enter purgatory on earth, and you will be eaten by these zombies, yes, it is eaten alive, and the human flesh is sashimi.
Everything in front of him seems to Ji Youtang's eyes, this insect song island has obviously become a hell on earth, looking around, the islanders who have the strength to escape for their lives are running in the direction behind Ji Youtang and his party, some of the bitten islanders have given up resistance, lying on the ground and waiting for their doomsday to come, while some of the islanders who have been bitten by zombies have lost their humanity as a person, and began to frantically chase those islanders who have not been bitten by zombies.
It didn't take long for the land to flee, scatter, die, and wound. Only Ji Youtang and his party were left and the few zombies in front of them who stayed to 'dine'.
Seeing that some innocent islanders in front of them were being frantically eaten by zombies, Nayila and Ding Ling suddenly felt sick to their stomachs and retched a few times, Xue Ming immediately frowned when he saw this, hugged Ding Ling into his arms, and buried Ding Ling's head deep in his chest, and Ji Youtang also pulled Nayila down behind him, and kept gently patting her back for Nayila.
And this scene in front of him is not our emperor, Zhu Houxun can see it, Zhu Houxun looked at the zombies in front of him who were so unscrupulous and fleshed his own people, and he was furious all of a sudden, and the anger in his heart was really unable to be suppressed anymore, these zombies didn't give me Zhu Houxun's face, and it was unbearable to kill! Zhu Houxun immediately stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword tied to Hua Ting's waist, holding the sword in his hand and yelling at the zombies in front of him who were eating the islanders.
These zombies were immediately attracted by Zhu Houxun's roar, so many zombies, some still refused to give up the delicious islanders in their mouths, and some gave up gnawing, and walked slowly towards Zhu Houxun's group, presumably there is new food coming, rather than eating the same taste, it is better to change the taste.
This is embarrassing, Ji Youtang didn't know that Zhu Houxun would actually make this move, this time it was really difficult, Zhu Houxun's roar has successfully attracted the attraction of these zombies, there are already seven or eight of these islanders who have been infected and turned into zombies in front of him, not to mention that the old zombies who have almost become a climate have not yet appeared.
And just as Zhu Houxun was in a posture and was about to rush forward to fight these zombies, he suddenly heard a loud shout not far away. and the sound of neat footsteps rubbing against the armor.
I saw a very weak scholar-like old man, with a large group of soldiers behind him, who was quickly running from the other side of the zombie to his side.
The old man looked out of breath, and he was particularly excited when he saw Zhu Houxun, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! The old minister can be regarded as having found you! ā
Zhu Houxun turned his head back, looked at it, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a wicked smile.
Zhu Houxun immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the old man and a large group of soldiers.
I saw that Zhu Houxun didn't pay attention to the old man, just pushed the old man aside, stood in front of a large group of soldiers, raised his right hand holding the sword, raised it high, and shouted loudly.
"Divine Machine Battalion! Dequeue! ā
I saw that in the neat rows of ranks, a group of soldiers suddenly stood out, and the soldiers were all carrying the strongest individual combat weapons in the era of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
Musket - A primitive metal firing firearm. This is an important contribution of the working people of the Celestial Empire to the development of weapons, and it is also the first hot weapon to appear in this world.
Zhu Houxun casually pointed his right hand holding the sword at the eight zombies in front of him.
"Divine Machine Battalion! Get ready! ā
Listening to Zhu Houxun's order, these soldiers with firecrackers on their backs immediately divided into two rows of standings, one in front and one behind, the soldiers in the front row half-squatted on the ground with firecrackers, and the soldiers in the back row stood behind them, reaching into the trigger of the firecrackle with their right hand, and pinching the front end of the firecrackle tightly with their left hand, as if they were ready to load the battle at any time.
"Put!"
Just after the soldiers who squatted in the first row fired the first shot, they immediately stood up and quickly moved to the second row, and the soldiers in the original second row immediately squatted down, lifted the firecracker, aimed it in the direction of the zombie, and there was a series of firecracker combo sounds.
This is the legendary two-column horizontal team strategy.
This method of operation is very simple, that is, the first row is shooting at the same time, the second row stands by standby, and when the first row of the first round of shooting is finished, immediately switch positions, stand in the second row to fill the ammunition, and the soldiers who originally stood in the second row naturally become the soldiers of the first row, and then become the soldiers of the first row immediately follow the tactics just now, immediately squat down and shoot, carry out the second round of shooting, and so on, the first row of shooting, return to the second row to fill the ammunition, the second row to keep up with the offensive of the first row, This was followed by a second wave of the offensive, which saved time for refilling ammunition and allowed for a continuous offensive of firearms.
For a moment, I saw smoke filling the air, covering all the scenes in front of me.
A strong smell of sulfur came to his nose, and Ji Youtang only felt that the surroundings were suddenly quiet and terrifying.
