Chapter 51: Terror in a Snowy Night
Chapter 51: Terror in a Snowy Night
It wasn't until it was dark that Wang Baoshan was woken up by Liu Qing.
"General, subordinates shouldn't disturb your rest..."Liu Qing made hot water with a smile on his face.
"Is it time?" Wang Baoshan rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Yes..." Liu Qing held a bowl of hot porridge in one hand and a few meat buns in the other, and gathered Wang Baoshan for dinner.
After washing and having dinner, Wang Baoshan came to the outside of the barracks. At this time, the wind and snow had stopped, and the ground was swaying white, and he looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and his heart couldn't help but feel elegant.
As the old saying goes, the fifteenth moon and the sixteenth round have not heard the sound of the piano for a long time.
Thinking of this, Wang Baoshan returned to his barracks, put the moon-gazing guqin that had been kept in the room on his back, and walked towards the open space in the barracks.
At this time, all the soldiers were ready to go, standing in the open space one by one, waiting for Wang Baoshan's arrival.
"Let's go... Don't let the brothers of the other battalions wait for a hurry..."Wang Baoshan gave an order, waved his hand, and led the soldiers out.
During the day's war, he had already heard Liu Qing say it at the stall where he was eating. This battle was of great significance to the entire Black Wind Army, not only severely damaged the invading enemy, but also collected a lot of urgently needed things, countless weapons, and more than ten war horses when cleaning up the battlefield.
On the side of the Black Wind Army, without losing a single soldier, they won a complete victory, destroying hundreds of enemies. All of a sudden, the whole army celebrated with joy.
Just in case, someone sneaked up at night, Wang Baoshan had to order the valley to guard against the daytime, and with his soldiers, he guarded the wooden wall.
Moreover, Li Jin, who is the commander of a thousand soldiers, also came with several soldiers.
Wang Baoshan stood on the wooden wall, looking at the empty valley and the vast snowfield, and his heart was turbulent.
At this time, the valley was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, and the scene of a sea of corpses and blood during the day had long since ceased to exist. A bright moon as white as jade, faintly floating in the night sky, the bright and dazzling moonlight, and countless bright Milky Way stars, the snow-capped mountains, as bright and cold as day.
In all directions, it was surprisingly quiet, compared with the cold wind and snowy weather during the day, it was really quiet at the moment, so that everyone had the illusion that they had come to the wrong place.
But in their hearts, they knew very well that under the wooden wall, the snow was covering hundreds of corpses. These dead people are all elites in the Axe Palace, forcibly plundering and bullying the people, but today they are not clear, and their souls are broken here.
During the day, the soldiers of the Black Wind Army, when cleaning the battlefield, did not collect the corpses for them, and due to the heavy snowfall, they only hastily wrapped some usable things, and then retreated.
These people who were already lawless Axe Hall Gang never dreamed that they would die in such a wretched manner. In peacetime, they endanger the people, burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. Now, there is not even a person who collects the corpse when they die, and I don't know if they will cry and cry out when they get down.
"Woo ......"
Suddenly, a cry that seemed to be there and nothing, faintly in the valley, tactfully screamed, making the small valley that had just been quiet add a bit of weirdness and gloom.
"Woo... The cry, like a burst, floated to and fro, stirring the hearts of the people.
Wang Baoshan listened to the cry, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and his eyes began to be in a trance.
The other people were also bored and uneasy, and they were crumbling one by one, but fortunately, under the help of each other, there was no situation of falling to the ground. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall down on this narrow wooden wall, even if you don't die, you will be crippled.
"What's going on..."
"Look what that is..."
In the panic, everyone saw that in the valley that had been calm, there were fluorescent dots at this time, and countless faint sparks were flashing with a terrifying green glow.
Wang Baoshan thought to himself, how could there be fireflies flying in this cold New Year's month, could it be a ghost fire? As soon as he thought about this, his heart became more and more amazed and unpredictable.
Endless glowing ghostly fires rose from the snow and swirled in the valley. At first it was chaotic and flying, and then they drifted off into the distance. It was like a flooded waterway, surging and undulating, towards a valley, an inconspicuous corner, and vented down.
This situation and this scene made Wang Baoshan can't help but think of the weirdness and horror of what he saw in the mass grave in the barren mountains and mountains west of the city.
If his eyes were clear enough to see far enough. He might have seen a man in black sitting cross-legged on the snow where the ghostly glow was falling.
This man in black is none other than Li Yiyi.
There was a snow-white area around, only Li Yiyi, who was dressed in a black robe, which was particularly abrupt. Here and now, he was sitting upright like a clock, his head lowered, and his whole body was motionless as if he was dead. Moreover, his body was surrounded by black mist and green light, which was not weird.
And three feet above his head, a delicate and delicate female doll also sat cross-legged in the void.
At this time, she was the complete opposite of Li Yiyi below, but she was facing the sky on her back, opening her small mouth of Yin Tao, and swallowing the fluorescent ghost fire that gathered from all directions.
A quaint and dilapidated oil lamp, lit by a soybean-sized green fire, fluttered and swayed in front of Li Yiyi's chest. Bursts of black fog spread out, and with the swaying of the lights, it was bright and dark, gathering and scattering, drifting and twisting.
After a while, the rolling black mist gradually became as black as ink, like a huge black veil, covering Li Yiyi and everything around him, leaving only the female doll sitting on it.
All of this is Li Yiyi, according to Zhang Dongyang's memory, a cultivation method called "Gathering Souls" is being practiced diligently.
The method of "Gathering Souls" is to collect the yin souls of people who have just died, absorb the yin soul power, and cultivate and bless their bodies. Today, so many people died at once, and these yin souls who died unjustly are the best nourishment for cultivating "Gathering Souls".
It can be seen that everything Li Yiyi has done is for today. He was really scheming, coercing and enticing, and doing everything he could, so that he could create this excellent opportunity for cultivation.
Fortunately, there were no others around him, otherwise, this weird and gloomy cultivation scene, I really don't know how many people's liver and gall would be scared.
"Woo... Woo..."
The girl doll made a childlike crying sound as she devoured the wandering ghost fire. Up and down her body, there were bursts of brilliance. These Ambilights, now being pulled by a suction force below, swirled and surged into the lights below.
As time passed, the fluorescent ghost fire flying in the valley became more and more diluted, until it completely disappeared, and the female doll stopped devouring.
She burped, touched her bulging little belly, and showed a satisfied smile, with a cute expression that could not help but be pitied.
Then, she stretched her calves and stood in the void. After looking around, she found that Li Yiyi below was still immersed in the black mist, and she couldn't help but feel a little bored.
After a while, when she was bored, she looked into the depths of the valley and saw that there were many people there. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on her girl's immature little face. Then, her small body, and in a blur, disappeared into its original position.
On the other side, after restoring tranquility in the valley, Wang Baoshan struggled to get up, and he found that the other people were also uncomfortable.
One by one, as if they had suffered an unusual blow, they were all mentally depressed and weak, and they were all supporting each other and leaning together at the moment.
"Giggles..."A burst of laughter like a silver bell, in the snowy night air, faintly from far and near.
Wang Baoshan was attracted by this laughter, and immediately looked around, and found that above the wooden wall, at some point, there was a female doll there, floating and floating.
At this moment, the bright moonlight shone on her body, hazy, and it was impossible to see her true appearance for a while.
Fortunately, Wang Baoshan is a person who has experienced even more strange and strange events, otherwise he would be like everyone else, and he would be shocked and uneasy.
"Dare to ask the girl, why are you here?" As soon as Wang Baoshan's words came out, a sudden change protruded, and he saw that the Mochizuki Guqin, which had been carried by him all the time, seemed to be alive, and it actually came out of the piano case on its own, and it was in the void on his chest.
Immediately afterward, a melodious and meandering sound of the piano sounded without warning, and fluttered away.
When the girl heard the sound of the piano, she was immediately fascinated, and her body involuntarily followed the music of the piano, and gradually writhed.
Seeing the situation, she danced to the rhyme of the piano.
It's just that her body shape is really young and immature, and her body movements are not yet coordinated. So when I danced, I couldn't help but be ugly, and the twisting and pinching posture was so funny that it made people laugh.
Wang Baoshan listened to the piano music and watched the female doll dance, his heart was quiet and leisurely, and he was not half surprised.
I don't know if it's the sound of Mochizuki's piano, it's too beautiful, and the other people around me listened to it, and the expressions on their faces also returned to normal, and they all stayed in place and listened quietly.
I don't know how long it took, the girl doll jumped, and her figure gradually blurred. In the end, she turned into wisps of seven-colored streamers, burrowed into the Mochizuki guqin, and disappeared without a trace.
And the Mochizuki guqin is still playing by itself, a beautiful music.
At this time, the cold moon is like frost.
Under the shroud of the moonlight, the body of the Mochizuki guqin was covered with bursts of light, which looked holy and wonderful.
In the empty and quiet valley, the sound of the piano rises and falls, and the originally barren and cold snowy night seems to have turned into a grand scene in the world at this moment.
Let everyone present be relaxed and happy, and for a while, it seems that they have forgotten their existence.
"Ahh
In a place beyond their sight and ears, suddenly, a terrible scream sounded.
"No ......"
Immediately afterward, it turned into an angry roar.
In that voice, it seemed to reveal boundless resentment and unwillingness.
Listen to the voice, it is the location where Li Yiyi is, it came out.
It turned out that Li Yiyi, who was using the female ghost doll as a medium to collect the ghosts and grievances in the valley, was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the Mochizuki guqin.
The melodious sound of the piano stirred him so uneasy that he went crazy.
It's really a loss for Mrs. and a soldier. This time, Li Yiyi not only went crazy in practice, but also lost contact with the female ghost doll that Zhang Dongyang had been keeping in captivity.
He knew very well what that meant.
According to Zhang Dongyang's memory, once the captive ghost slave loses the connection with the divine sense, it is equivalent to losing the ability to control the ghost slave.
Although he really wanted to check it, at present, his own body was unstable, resulting in the internal organs in his body, which were more or less damaged.
For a while, even if he had the heart, he no longer had that ability.
Moreover, the unknown danger ahead made Li Yiyi feel a burst of panic, where did he dare to go.
After this double blow, Li Yiyi's face became more and more pale at this time. There was endless resentment and unwillingness hidden in his heart, which was refracted in his scarlet eyes, bursting with a murderous light, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Although it is unbearable, it cannot be impulsive after all, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Li Yiyi had to choose to retreat, and now he was like a beast that had been injured, and after suddenly suffering an injury, he didn't dare to retaliate, so he could only endure the pain and leave slowly......
In the second half of the night, after the moonlight dimmed, the Mochizuki guqin finally stopped playing, and it slowly fell on the open space of the wooden wall.
Wang Baoshan stepped forward, picked up the Mochizuki Guqin, looked through it carefully for a long time, and did not find anything unusual about the Mochizuki Guqin, so he took off the piano case from his back and put the piano in.
Although he was very puzzled in his heart, why did this guqin suddenly fly out, in addition to playing it by himself, he also sucked the female doll in, and it was magical.
But now, not the time to delve deeper, Wang Baoshan temporarily put away his mind.
Of course, even if he wanted to delve into it, he couldn't study it deeply, after all, he didn't know anything about the magic of this Mochizuki Guqin.
After a while, Wang Baoshan saw that everyone had returned to normal, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
He walked up to the commander Li Jin and said with a greeting, "Is General Li okay?"
"No... It's okay..."Li Jin obviously hasn't fully recovered his mind, he looked at Wang Baoshan with a strange expression, and when he spoke, he was a little hesitant, which was very different from his previous arbitrary and reckless style.
"It's okay..."Wang Baoshan looked at him suspiciously, and he didn't plan to explain anything, so he said hello and walked away.
The other people, looking at Wang Baoshan's gaze at this time, are no longer the same as before. They immediately gathered around, treating Wang Baoshan as a monster, and asked questions in surprise, causing a commotion.
"Nonsense... Have you forgotten the military order?" Li Jin on the side saw that all the soldiers were surrounding Wang Baoshan, and his face was a little ugly.
These soldiers, seeing that the commander Li Jin was angry, quickly dispersed.
Although some of them are uncertain in their hearts, some are puzzled and compassionate, and some are admired and rejoiced...... And so on, all kinds of ideas.
But at this moment, you can't be like a curious baby to seek psychological satisfaction.
So, with complicated thoughts, they all continued to inspect everything in the valley in this cold and snowy night.
Because military orders are like mountains, as a member of the Black Wind Army, everything should be based on the implementation of military orders. No matter what irrelevant things happen, they can't control their own duties, which is why Du Xiaosan advocated the military order system at the beginning.
Even if Li Jin is like this, the other soldiers can't disobey it.
Moreover, the more than two months of arduous training and the forcible indoctrination of military training orders every day have tempered their will to be extremely hard, and the prohibition of words and deeds is more like a daily routine for them, and it is nothing more than normal.
