Chapter 52: The Wandering Corpse 3
What Lin Yuan expected happened on the second night, a large number of troops of the Silver Empire began to attack Qingnuocheng on the first day of the month, and Tianshu, Jiuchen and Han Nian went out of the city to meet the battle.
They had guessed well earlier, this army was all poisonous corpses, invulnerable, invulnerable.
If they wanted to fight hard with the entire invulnerable army with their bodies, even as qi refiners, they couldn't do it, and of course, Tianshu and Jiuchen were not prepared to do this, the purpose of this trip was just to buy a little time for Lin Yuan and Xuanyue.
At this time, Lin Yuan and Xuan Yue had already quietly infiltrated the military camp in the rear of the Silver Empire, according to their analysis, if they wanted to raise so many soldiers, then this Gu cultivator should be in the enemy military camp.
"A-Yuan. Xuanyue pointed to the torch on the side and said to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled lightly, Xuan Yue, who was hiding in the invisible wall, smiled evilly, and took advantage of the guards' inattention, picked up the torch, and the flames spread to the various camp tents little by little, and the entire military camp began to be in turmoil.
"What happened?"
In front of the military tent, an old man in black casually grabbed a panicked soldier and asked.
The soldier hurried to put out the fire, pointing to the burning tent and said, "Somehow, the sparks drifted to the tent, and the whole barracks burned. ”
"Can the sparks drift to the camp tent burn down the entire barracks?" the man was angry, called the guards, and ordered, "Search carefully." ”
"Yes!"
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Lin Yuan and Xuanyue were by their side at this time, and the two exchanged glances, and followed the old man in black into the camp.
The old man in black returned to his seat, and there were all kinds of bottles and cans on the table in front of him, and in the crockpot in the middle was the "caterpillar".
"Sure enough, it was him. ”
The old man seemed to sense that there were other people in the tent, and began to be vigilant, picked up a porcelain bottle on the table, and threw it into the air, the fluorescent powder in the bottle was scattered in every corner of the tent, and Lin Yuan and Xuanyue also appeared.
"Is there no one in the army of the Northern Underworld Empire? When the old man saw Lin Yuan and Xuanyue, he sat down again, fiddling with his bottles and cans.
The two of them no longer hid, and Xuanyue even sat directly opposite the old man and said, "Old man, aren't you afraid of retribution if you refine Gu and hurt people?"
"Huh~ Retribution, don't say that the old man doesn't believe this, even if it is true, it is just a rotten life, why be afraid?" the old man said indifferently.
The old man looked up at Xuanyue and said, "Little girl, you can cultivate like this at such a young age." ”
There was also a hint of admiration in his tone.
"Old man, can you see how my cultivation is?" asked Xuanyue in surprise.
The old man deliberately raised his voice and said, "Hehe~ girl, the old man can't live in vain after living for so many years!"
Xuanyue felt it for a moment, the man in front of her was quite kind, but she was very puzzled, why did he do such a thing?
"You're thinking, why did I do this poison, right?"
Xuanyue nodded again and again, she realized that she actually admired this old man a little, as if she could see through people.
The old man got up, brought two cups of tea and handed them to Xuanyue and Linyuan, and the two took it, but they didn't eat it.
"Rest assured, non-toxic. The old man smiled and said, "Girl, people sometimes don't need a reason to do things. ”
"But you're killing. Xuanyue asked in an atmospheric manner.
"Murder? These individuals deserve to die, and staying in Siam is just a waste of time. ”
Lin Yuan was indignant and asked, "Any life should be respected, not swayed by others. ”
"What do you mean these people deserve to die?" Xuan Yue was also very angry and said at the same time.
The old man did not answer them, but continued, "Anyway, my time is up, so let those people go with me!"
Then he said to Lin Yuan, "Maybe in a year, you won't think so." ”
"They won't. Xuanyue got up and said to the old man.
"What did you say?"
The old man was slightly stunned when he heard Xuanyue's words, and then said, "Without me, you can't solve the Gu." ”
"Haven't you heard that there is a thing in this world called the green jade cicada?" Xuan Yue said in a slightly reassuring tone.
The old man was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, which was crawling with wriggling insects, which frightened Xuanyue and screamed, which successfully attracted the guards outside the tent.
"Let's go. Lin Yuan pulled Xuanyue and was about to leave.
The purpose of their trip has been achieved, the Gu Master is dead, there is no need to stay here for a long time, and there is no need for the two countries to go to war at this time.
After speaking, the two turned into a dragon and a phoenix and left the Silver Empire military camp.
On their side, because of the green jade cicada, the crisis was quickly resolved, but the king of the Silver Empire was not so lucky.
In the palace, the prince who had just been buried during the day came back again, this time, but it was a real wandering corpse.
"Bang~"
There was another sound of tables and chairs smashing, and several retainers were once again thrown to the ground.
"Lord Wang~"
The princess cried hoarsely, and was about to pounce on the dead prince, but fortunately she was dragged by the little duke.
"Mother, he is not his father. ”
It is rare that the little duke can comfort the princess so calmly at this time, Mu Jue saw it in his eyes, but showed a trace of admiration.
"Lingshuang, Mu Jue, you control the prince. Summer Han commanded.
Lingshuang and Mu Jue summoned the blue blood vine and pit viper grass at the same time, fortunately, the old prince was just a wandering corpse at this time, and this blue blood vine and pit viper grass could trap him, if the spiritual power on the old prince was not reduced, they really couldn't help it.
"Young master, princess~"
At the door, a small guy stumbled in, threw himself in front of Mo Xuan, and said intermittently, "Less... Master. ”
"Panic what, get up and say. Mo Xuan scolded in a loud voice.
The little guy calmed down for a moment, and then continued, "The streets, the streets are full of wandering corpses. ”
The little duke arranged for someone to help the princess into the inner room, and found a few generals to watch the old prince, and then went out of the mansion with Lingshuang and them.
Sure enough, the streets were full of wandering corpses, but fortunately it was night, and there was no one on the street.
But a few screams could still be heard from afar.
"Where's the city guard?" Mo Xuan shouted.
A man dressed as an officer on the side stepped forward and replied, "Back to the little duke, the city guards have already gone to the city gate, but countless wandering corpses on the mass graves outside the city have poured into the city, and the city guards are also too busy to take care of themselves." ”
"Shouldn't the city gates be locked at night?" asked Xia Han again.
"Your Majesty's will. The Keeper replied.
"Are you saying that most of these wandering corpses came from mass graves outside the city?" Xia Han asked.
The officer nodded.
"Mo Xuan, Mu Jue, you come with me. ”
"Teacher, I'll go with you too. Lingshuang said anxiously.
Xia Han didn't agree, but said, "There is still an old prince at home." ”
Lingshuang didn't continue to speak, but just said to them, "Stay safe." ”
Walk two kilometers out of the city and then to the outskirts of the city, over a small hill, is the mass grave, all the way are wandering corpses, meet some just buried, better, and some, the body has rotted half of the side, only the bone frame remains, especially terrifying.
"Did you hear any sounds?" asked Mu Jue among the trees in the valley.
"Whistle~"
"Yes, yes, the sound of the whistle. ”
Mo Xuan listened carefully to the source of the voice and said, "Southwest." ”
