Chapter 308: People and Gods Are Angry
As the old yellow man's laughter became louder and louder, the people in the sedan chair could no longer hold back, and they also laughed out loud. This can make Luo Xiu and the generals, who are already confused, even more confused. Luo Xiu grabbed Mo Ye's sleeve and asked eagerly, "But what strange things happened?" ”
Mo Ye didn't answer, and a rare smile appeared on his face. In these days, it is rare to have such an "episode", these two people are just like the drum hammer of the City God Temple, and no one can do without anyone.
Until Luo Xiu was about to suffocate his face and blush, and he almost ran away. Aunt Han, who was held by Bai Li, woke up slowly, and saw that the old yellow head was looking at her intently, and she couldn't lift it in one breath, and was about to faint. Maybe it's true, maybe it's false, but it's better than seeing the bad old man who doesn't know if it's a human or a ghost.
Chen Fusheng, the son in the sedan chair, raised his tone slightly, stopping everyone's laughter, "Stop for a while, Brother Luo, what did you find?" ”
Luo Xiu thought that Chen Fusheng would explain what had just happened to him, but he didn't expect the other party to be the first to ask about him, and he was a little stunned. But then he relieved himself and said: "This is about three miles away, which is the gate of Chengde Town. It's just strange that the city gate is empty, and there is no trace of burning and looting, but there is a disgusting smell of blood inside the closed city gate. ”
After listening to Luo Xiu's words, everyone fell silent.
When Chen Fusheng came just now, he pointed out the key, there is a strong bloody atmosphere here, it should have just happened not long after the big war, but as far as the eye can see, only one boundary monument has been cut by the "Dragon Slaying Knife", and there is no one at all. Even the stump and broken arm didn't see a single star, so Luo Xiu dared to rush forward to investigate.
If anything had happened here, it wouldn't have been so clean. What makes people strange is that the cleanliness here is a little weird, and the smell of blood that permeates the air, it is clearly not like it has not been going away for a long time, but it has only overflowed for a short time. In this way, it is not nothing, but it has been deliberately hidden.
It's just that in this short period of time, why it was cleaned up so much is also incredible.
After Chen Fusheng pondered for a long time, he gently knocked on the sedan car frame, and the eight sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair in unison, but did not move, but waited for Chen Fusheng's next instructions. At this time, the Immortal Venerable, who had been broken, also walked quickly to the front, looked at everyone and said: "Just now, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, about twenty or thirty horses, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's enter the city quickly." ”
Chen Fusheng sighed lightly when he heard this, "Let's go, let's talk as we go." ”
Luo Xiu had visited first, so he walked at the front of the team to lead the way, and the general was also more familiar with this place, so he followed Luo Xiu, pointing to a certain place from time to time and saying a few words. After everyone left the resting place, Chen Fusheng continued: "Do you know, what was the vision just now? ”
The old yellow head already understood at this time that in addition to being transcendent in martial arts, the head of the Sunset Peak family was also a man of outstanding resourcefulness, so he was not limited to the identity of his predecessors, and approached and asked with a smile: "Please also make it clear." ”
Chen Fusheng did not let the eight people get off the sedan chair, but motioned for everyone to move forward, and said as he walked: "The climate here is relatively special, the night is cold and humid, and it is easy to gather water vapor. In addition, there must have been a tragic fight last night, but the body was taken away, and only blood remained. Then there was a brief period of rain, so when the sun rose, the temperature difference changed, and a white mist rose. ”
"So, the smell of blood we smell has blended into the white mist, and the blood has disappeared?" Luo Xiu suddenly realized when he heard this, and said with an excuse.
"Brother Luo is really clever, this is exactly what I want to say. Thinking about it this way, this Chengde Town, I'm afraid it's not simple, you have to be mentally prepared. After Chen Fusheng finished speaking, everyone had come to the gate of Chengde Town, and was about to push the door, but was stopped by Luo Xiu.
He took a stone from the ground and threw it at the gate, and he saw that the stone suddenly burst into flames, and fell to the ground, still burning. The general who was about to step forward and push the door just now was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, if he reached out, wouldn't he be burned to ashes!
Without waiting for Luo Xiu to explain, Chen Fusheng had already spoken: "Brother Luo, could it be that this door is smeared with flint powder?" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the old yellow head even jumped to his feet and scolded: "These straight lady thieves are so vicious, they actually smear this kind of indiscriminate harmful things on the city gate, it's really damned!" ”
The rest of the people ignored the old yellow head's scolding, just thinking that he was in a hurry, but they didn't know that the old yellow head had a similar experience. It's just that it wasn't them who did it at that time, but the enemy army placed a mechanism of flint powder outside the city, which caused them to lose dozens of people before they could get out.
It's just that this flint powder is not widely used in the Later Tang Dynasty, and is more used for candle lighting, but it is not common for military use. Because the usage and dosage of this substance are not easy to control, if it is not used properly, it may hurt others and yourself. Therefore, ordinary people will only use a knife to gently scrape off a little bit and put it in the wick to help burn.
And such a large area of use above this city gate is the first time in these years. At this time, Mo Ye had already taken the first step, and pulled out the "Broken Star Heng" and slowly approached the city gate. At this time, the sun is already high, and the closer you go, the hotter you feel.
Just as Mo Ye was about to approach the city gate, Chen Fusheng in the sedan chair suddenly shouted eagerly: "Retreat!" ”
Everyone was startled at first when they heard this, and then they couldn't care more anymore and retreated one after another. Rao is like this, the three closest people are still a little big, Luo Xiu doesn't seem to be aware of the danger, and he is the slowest to escape. But after that sound again, the tightly closed door suddenly exploded with a "boom", and countless stumps and broken arms flew out of it, and everyone avoided it.
At this time, the smell of blood in the air was even stronger, as if it was in a sea of corpses and blood, and it was difficult to escape.
Everyone was a little frightened by this, and when they stabilized their minds and looked at the city gate, their eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces were even different. But the impact of what they saw on their minds lingered for the next few days.
The woman who had been frightened once before, after realizing that what she saw in front of her was real, almost turned her back on her breath again. If Bai Li hadn't hugged her and held it to prevent her from falling, I'm afraid that this spicy woman would have passed out a long time ago.
The scene in front of him is almost indescribable, and the door that was suddenly blasted open by the huge impact is now unobstructed, exposing everything in front of everyone. When the wave of air dissipated, the first thing that everyone saw was a mountain of heads, some complete, some mutilated, and some broken, which were carefully piled up into a group of tall towers that were wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, which looked particularly strange.
If this is the case, it would not be so surprising that in front of this mountain of skulls there are all kneeling bodies on the ground, but their heads have been removed to satisfy the evil taste of the initiator. These ordinary people, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people and ordinary soldiers, were neatly arranged in three rows, and they all knelt towards the city gate, like a guard of honor to greet them.
And the stumps and broken arms that flew out just now were not cut off from them, and there seemed to be another source.
Luo Xiu had clenched his fists tightly at this time, trembling all over, and his anger was difficult to vent. Before he could make a move, Mo Ye and Hades had already pressed on his shoulders one by one, one left and one right, signaling him not to act rashly. The general was also stunned by what he saw, and forgot to stop, so he slowly walked to the headless bodies kneeling on the ground, as if trying to find his mother, wife and children.
The old yellow head's eyes were wrinkled together at this time, and his two hands kept rubbing each other, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word. The faces of those heads were clearly full of horror and sorrow, as well as the reluctance and despair before death......
When the general approached, before everyone could react, he fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, as if triggering some kind of mechanism. Immediately after that, the bodies that were kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up, as if they were summoned and guided by some kind of summons, and they all aimed at the people in front of them.
I only heard the last angry roar of the general before he died, "Run, it's a dark crossbow!" Immediately, more than twenty dark crossbows shot out from the headless corpses, heading for the lives of the people who were in a state of panic.
The old yellow head was the first to react, tore off the coat he was wearing, ran to the front in a few steps, grabbed a corner and began to spin vigorously. At this time, everyone was uncovered, exposed to this dark crossbow, which was almost equivalent to death.
The more than 20 dark crossbows came in an instant, but they were moved sideways by the old yellow head left and right, and they were all taken down with a rotating coat, but the general who said the last sentence had been separated by the flesh and bones of the dark crossbow, and there was no one in the figure.
The old yellow man had put away his coat, and the dark crossbows that were wrapped in it fell to the ground one after another. The old yellow head quickly grabbed one of them and took it to his eyes to take a closer look, and saw that on the dark crossbow arrow, the words "Chengde Camp Defense" were clearly engraved, which made him suddenly angry, broke the arrow, and threw it to the ground.
At this time, a few people from Lonely Roaring Heights rushed over, and just now they were all around the carriage in an instant, blocking those stray arrows, and protecting the two people in the carriage from the hidden arrows. The man in black with the carriage didn't make a move, just looked ahead and didn't say a word.
Old Huangtou was about to step forward to pick up the corpse of the general, but was stopped by Chen Fusheng's words: "Seniors, don't act rashly, I'm afraid things are not so simple." ”
"Could it be that there is still a dark crossbow?" The old yellow head was already angry and stared ahead and shouted angrily.
"I don't know if it's not, but please pay attention to your feet, that person just now touched the mechanism under his feet, and he caused this mess." Chen Fusheng's tone was ordinary, and there were not too many ups and downs, which made the old yellow head feel more vigilant.
When he walked in front of the general's corpse, the old yellow man really saw a thin thread stretched under his knee for two or three years, and if he didn't look closely, he would never be able to detect it.
The old yellow head didn't dare to hold it up, the power of this army's secret crossbow, he had just understood, was more ferocious and ruthless than his time, and he had to guard against it.
The old yellow head approached a headless corpse, and after a careful inspection, he found that the extremely bridge surface made of these dark crossbows was placed in the abdomen of these corpses. When someone triggers the mechanism, they will shoot the intruder as soon as the headless corpse gets up.
The intentions can be described as extremely vicious, even the deceased will not let go, it is simply the anger of people and gods, and the current eighteen layers of hell!
