Chapter 17: The Mission's Corpse

Wu Zhanghuan, the little leader of Yan Zhitang's Xuanjie Captain's Rank, quietly listened as the prey that fell into the trap turned over and landed, and then slowly walked to the door step by step.

Wu Zhanghuan squinted his eyes and stood confidently in the courtyard, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by eight masters of Yan Zhitang. Today's action was originally just a whim of him, and his duty was to stay in Guizhou City to keep an eye on the wind and grass, and the Captain Yilu, who had the responsibility of being in charge of the land near the place where the mission was attacked, would deal with it. But who knew that these corpses actually caught a small trash fish!

The world has been decided, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, and the attack on the mission and the murderer's plan must be very great! The real assailants don't come running to see the corpses. But take the opportunity to see if there are any remnants of evil forces in this small town who are interested in this matter, it is still worth a try! If you can make a small contribution, in case your boss Captain Yi Lu suffers a crime...... Hmph, maybe you can rely on this little credit to pick up a bargain!

Proud in his heart, Wu Zhanghuan's hands are not careless at all, and the strength he has practiced since childhood is in the palm of his hand without spitting, and the knuckles that are swollen and cracked are faintly painful! This is the internal kung fu 'Lingjun Finger' that he has practiced for 30 years.

Shhh One time! Sure enough, the trash fish in the house who came out to explore the wind is still dying!

Wu Zhanghuan smiled coldly, motionless and watched as a soft sword like a spiritual snake pierced through the curtain of the broken door and stabbed straight at the door in front of him! The tip of the sword still trembled rapidly......

"Drink!" Two shouts rang out from Wu Zhanghuan's side, and two spinning short-handled axes roared towards the enemy! "Thorn, jingle!" Wu Zhanghuan still sneered and watched as the two sharp axes under his hand shattered the rags and knocked the soft sword away...... There was no one behind the broken curtain!

Wu Zhanghuan raised his head suddenly, stomped off his body, bounced up, and jumped directly to the roof! With a "bang", a black shadow suddenly broke through the thatched roof and rushed out. "Even if you know how to play this hand!" Wu Zhanghuan exhaled and opened his voice, and the two fingers of his right hand popped out silently, and the two wisps of energy directly hit the black shadow in the air!

"Woo ......" Wu Zhanghuan watched as the two energetic qi that he was bound to win slammed into this person's chest and abdomen! As Wu Zhanghuan's legs landed on the wooden beams on the roof, and the enemy was injured but still didn't say a word, Wu Zhanghuan had already realized that something was wrong! This is...... A corpse!!

Wu Zhanghuan felt a chill in his heart, and shouted involuntarily: "Adjust the tiger to leave the mountain, he will still go to the front door......"

It's late, Wu Zhanghuan hasn't turned around, and he saw that the strange body of the little official was pierced by his strength and suddenly burst out a few wisps of gray-white liquid when falling, Wu Zhanghuan subconsciously stepped on the wooden beam and desperately dodged, "Kala", the wooden beam broke, Wu Zhanghuan jumped high again, only to feel that the gray-white substance in the corpse was sticky and slippery and foul smell, it was definitely not a good thing!

In mid-air, Wu Zhanghuan only caught a glimpse of the eyes of his two subordinates who were still looking at him, and only after hearing his own warning did the two of them raise the remaining short axe and face the direction of the main entrance.

I saw a gray shadow lightning shoot out of the main entrance along the ground! Between the two palms flying, the four featherless arrows sent out by the Yan Zhitang ambush soldiers just outside the wall shot at his two subordinates.

"Ding clang," the two subordinates hurriedly used the short axe to shoot the hidden weapon, but Wu Zhanghuan in mid-air watched the gray-clothed man make a move, and the soft sword that was knocked out by the short axe actually flew back into the gray-clothed man's hand!

"Control !!" Wu Zhanghuan felt a chill in his heart...... This is a real master!!

The gray-clothed man with the soft sword in his hand rolled through the middle of the two subordinates like a whirlwind, and directly smashed the tattered wood door with a sword and jumped out! The other two worst Yan Zhitang agents on guard outside the wall actually only let out two rapid screams......

Wu Zhanghuan had just turned around and landed in the courtyard at this time, and he was already shocked into a cold sweat on his back! What's the situation? Originally, I just wanted to catch a small fish, but how did I even provoke this legendary master who can control things and fly flowers and hurt people? I can do it and hurt people, but I can ...... Wrong!

Wu Zhanghuan looked at the two subordinates with short axes, and saw the two of them looking at him with a frightened look for help, and the gray-clothed man broke through the two of them like lightning and escaped without any abnormality, but at this time, two thin blood lines appeared on each leg of the two of them!

"........."

"Captain, my legs!" One of them looked at his left leg in horror and let out a soft sound of blood rushing out, and then a sharp pain that pierced his heart came over! "Ahh Yes!!! "The two of them fell to the ground at the same time, watching as one of their legs was almost cut off by a sharp weapon! As the two of them fell to the ground, the stubble of the bones from the huge wound was revealed!!

Wu Zhanghuan gritted his teeth hatefully...... These two people's legs, scrapped!

"Captain, captain!" The four guards of Yan Zhitang, who had intercepted the back of the courtyard, surrounded them with a frightened expression, and they were at a loss...... How could a master who could control things and abolish two internal guards at will appear in this small Guizhou city?

"The master of bullshit, chase! Don't let him escape! This man is certainly not a master, and the legs of both of them were cut off by extremely thin silk threads! That guy uses silk threads to carry swords, and he doesn't know how to control things with qi, otherwise we would all be dead by now! ”

Wu Zhanghuan still has some quick eyes to this day, this gray-clothed man is probably not his opponent at all, but he is meticulous and calm, and there is a strange silk thread that is so slender that it is almost invisible in his hand!

Leaving two people to take care of the wounded, Wu Zhanghuan and the other two subordinates followed the clues quickly......

After tossing and turning for a long time, Yizhuang was completely closed by the errand who rushed over, and the hungry old widows outside the wall still couldn't eat the glutinous food they had been thinking about for a long time in their huts, and were simply arrested and put in the state prison to eat prison food! What is the existence of Yan Zhitang? Ordinary officials and ordinary people don't know, how can officials at the level of commanders and commanders not know? These people were seriously injured in the state capital, and if they didn't handle it effectively, they would be left behind in the hearts of the officials!

The messengers carried away two crippled and two Yan Zhitang's subordinates who had been pierced by the dantian qi and sea and hurried to treat them, and the rest of the people simply sealed Yizhuang and didn't let anyone approach it again.

In the empty and messy courtyard of Yizhuang after noon, a whisper suddenly came from a straw pile in the corner of the yard!

"Hey! Master, don't sleep! What if you're snoring and attracting people? ”

"Huh? Am I asleep? ”

"It's all drooling on my legs! It's disgusting! ”

Then, a messy little head suddenly poked out of the haystack! It was actually a little Taoist priest, the little Taoist priest spit out the dust and grass clippings in his mouth, and looked around: "Hey! Come out, and they're all scattered! It's time to get to work. ”

Immediately afterwards, there was a wriggling under the haystack, and a sloppy and dirty old Taoist priest actually crawled out from under the haystack like a turtle without any image!

The old man looks like he is seventy or eighty, but his eyes are shining...... Or rather, the thief is overflowing! After looking around, he let out a sigh: "It's all rolling!" These guys are really not enough to accomplish and more to lose......"

The little Taoist priest also crawled down from the grass, and asked in a low voice while packing up his clothes: "Master, those turtle fishing are the eagle dogs of Zhao Song Da Nei Yan Zhitang, but what is the origin of that gray-clothed man?" ”

Lao Dao took out a piece of grass in his ear and shook his head: "I don't know! But at least it should be a teacher, and he looked a little familiar in front of the corpse at the last moment! The teacher couldn't remember it for a while, but the medicinal powder he sprinkled on the navels of these corpses was a good medicine to kill Gu worms, and this smell should be extremely killing! A very valuable poison!! ”

"So, this person has the same purpose as ours, right? It's all here to kill Gu worms and prevent the plague from spreading! It seems that he is also a chivalrous man and a good man! The little Taoist priest nodded and said softly.

"Not necessarily, this person is more like he came to inquire about information, and accidentally learned that there were Gu worms in these dead corpses, as for exterminating Gu worms to save the people, it is more like doing it casually! This person seems to have a deep hatred with Yan Zhitang, and when he saw Yan Zhitang's people change hands, he used the dead corpse as bait to lure the Gu worm to leak, and he had a ruthless side! Average but thoughtful, barely a character! ”

Lao Dao still shook his head and analyzed the situation of the man in gray, suddenly! Lao Dao's face changed: "This little turtle, did you do it on purpose?" The little Taoist priest asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

Lao Dao pinched a few mouse whiskers on his chin: "That guy's hand exposed next to the corpse seems to be an extremely advanced method of investigation, not like a martial artist, but more like the path of some cultivation sects!" At that time, my heart trembled as a teacher...... This turtle couldn't have deliberately destroyed the corpse and released the Gu worm after discovering that the teacher was here, right? To put it this way...... He's not a downright cold-blooded person. ”

The little Taoist priest gently kicked Lao Dao's calf: "It's endless, who does he love!" Let's do our own work and accumulate merit, hurry up! After a while, the Gu worms that broke out crawled into the city and caused the plague to do evil!! ”

"Good, good! Don't be in a hurry, just look at it as a teacher! The thoughtful old man quickly came back to his senses to comfort the little apprentice, and then took out a dirty and oily gourd behind him.

Lao Dao was still pretending to recite a few incantations, but when he saw his apprentice sneering and squinting on the side, he immediately pulled out the plug with a red face, threw a black pill in the gourd, and then..."Cough, phew! A mouthful of old phlegm spit into the big gourd, and the little Taoist priest who watched it covered his mouth and was disgusted!

Lao Dao lightly placed the big gourd in front of the broken grass hall in Yizhuang that had been smashed on the roof, and the broken body of the little official was being thrown on the ground at will. The whole person, unrecognizable, seems to have begun to decay rapidly.

After a while, strange little gray-white insects the size of rice grains suddenly appeared next to the gourd! One, two, ten, twenty...... More and more insects appeared next to the gourd, and then densely began to burrow into the gourd's mouth!

The dirty gourd seemed to be emitting something that ordinary people couldn't smell, attracting these Gu insects hidden in the corpse to keep burrowing into the gourd, half instilling incense, and no more insects appeared. The inside of the gourd is like a bottomless pit that devours those insects, and none of them can crawl out alive!

Lao Dao breathed a sigh of relief, walked over lightly, and carefully sealed the gourd with a black wooden stopper and stuffed it into his arms. The little Taoist probed his brain and looked carefully, and hurriedly walked over and asked in a low voice; "Master, why are the three corpses so Gu worms?"

Lao Dao smiled: "Don't worry! The Extreme Killing Scatter sprinkled by that little guy had already had an effect, and the Gu worms in the remaining two corpses were estimated to be dead. It's a pity that such a good poison...... The effect is similar to that of adding a pill to a mouthful of old phlegm for the teacher, and this gourd for the teacher can also earn some money for the two of us! Hey hey ......"

The little Taoist priest thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Could it be that the Yan Zhitang captain who was closest to the Gu worm at that time has been entangled by the Gu worm?" Lao Dao nodded: "And his subordinates, Gu worms are not fully hatched, if they are disturbed and exploded, people within ten steps of a hundred breaths will be infected!" The little Taoist priest was startled and hurriedly said, "Then let's hurry up and treat them." It would be terrible if the Gu worm infection spread! ”
