Volume 3 The Wind and Cloud of the Two Capitals Chapter 3 The Phantom of Xiling

The late autumn evening breeze hunted across the Xianyang Plain, and the gently flowing Du Shui in the distance made a whimpering sound like a cry, which was heard in the dark night, and it was terrifying.

In the confusion of the night, the nine imperial tombs on the Baili Plain are like nine giant beasts, lying quietly in the dark, making people shudder.

In front of the Jingdi Yang Mausoleum in the easternmost part of Xianyang Plain, a group of about ten Han soldiers were patrolling through the night, although they were dressed in mighty armor and holding sharp blades, but under the dim firelight swaying in the wind, their dry faces and shrunken bodies exposed their tiredness and coldness.

"Fuck! How can it be so cold! A Wu Chang shrunk his neck and cursed in a low voice: "So many strange things have happened on this Xianyang Plain recently, I heard that there are still dead people, why does the cemetery order still order us to strengthen our patrols?" ”

"You're stupid!" Another captain whispered: "It's because something happens that we have to strengthen our precautions!" ”

"Who are you calling stupid!" The first Wu Chang said angrily: "When the disaster falls on your kid's head, I'll see you talk about it again!" ”

"Shut up!" Shi Chang, who led the team, strode from the back of the team, he was tall, his face was majestic, and he had a big bow on his back, he frowned and said, "You two are cautious, come over to me!" ”

The two captains were obviously in awe of the chief, and they agreed in unison, causing the eight subordinates to stop and wait, and the two of them walked quickly to the chief.

"You two listen up!" Nashi Chang lowered his voice and said, "No matter what strange things happen outside, it has nothing to do with us!" As the forbidden army of the Han Dynasty, we only care about the soldiers and thieves inside and outside this mausoleum! ”

He looked up at the soldiers in the distance, and said slightly angrily: "As a military commander, you have so openly shaken the morale of the army, do you want to accept the military law of the principal?" ”

"Headmaster?" The two Wu Commanders shuddered together and exclaimed, "Shi Chang, you can't send us into the tiger's mouth!" ”

"Your grandma's!" Shi Changwan smiled and said: "The principal is not a tiger, he is just a little stricter, and the Cemetery Ling and the Cemetery Cheng are actually good for everyone!" Be content! ”

He sighed and said: "Actually, the other brothers of Xianyang Yuan Jiuling, Changling, Anling, Yiling, Weiling, Yanling, Kangling, Pingling, and Maoling are still quite envious of our Yangling!" At least our three superiors are reasonable people! Brothers don't usually suffer crimes, do they? ”

Seeing the two captains nodding, he suddenly said in a cold tone: "In this case, now is the time to employ people, who dares to chew their tongues again, don't blame me for not recognizing my brother!" ”

"No!" The two Wu Chiefs bowed down together, and the first Wu Commander smiled bitterly: "Shi Chang, it's not that the brothers are deliberately talking nonsense, it's really that the rumors outside are too terrible, and we are really a little panicked in our hearts!" ”

"Look at your gutsless look!" Shi Chang raised his leg and kicked it, and scolded with a smile: "Why don't you disperse to patrol?" If I do a good job, it's a big deal that I'll go and fight that yellow sheep tomorrow and treat my brothers! ”

"Great! That's what you want! The two captains turned their heads with a smile and left.

"Haha! Who doesn't know that Shi Chang used to be one in a hundred hunters? Finally blackmailed him once! ”

"How is a yellow sheep enough? We'll be going hunting again in a few days, maybe we'll ......."

The excited laughter of the Han soldiers gradually faded away.

Shi Chang smiled and watched the ten subordinates divide into two at the corner of the cemetery, patrolling in the west and south directions respectively, and then turned around and walked directly into the mausoleum. It's not that he's lazy, but because his patrol mission tonight is nearing the end, and his subordinates will meet again after patrolling two miles ahead and return directly to the camp, while the task of the chief is to go back first to hand in orders and reports, and then the next group of night patrol soldiers will be sent by Shangguan.

A captain led four soldiers, and just turned the corner, he suddenly stopped and listened.

One of the soldiers wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"Shh The chief of Wu put his finger on his lips and said, "Listen! What sound does it seem to have? ”

In the endless darkness, there really seemed to be a strange sound coming.

Several Han soldiers glanced at each other, raised their swords together, explored the way with torches, and groped their way into the darkness.

The previous jokes are jokes, these Han soldiers really didn't take the rumors from the outside world as a thing, they just used this as a talking point to entertain the boring time of protecting the tomb! How can the Han Forbidden Army who can defend the imperial tomb be idle, who is not a ruthless character who has been splashed with blood on the knife's edge?

A faint fishy wind suddenly came from the cold evening breeze, and the five of them were slightly startled, and a Han soldier said in a low voice: "It's strange, is there a fierce beast infested?" ”

"It's all nonsense!" The Wu Chang said disdainfully: "This is Xianyang Plain, not the deep mountains and old forests, where did the fierce beasts come from?" ”

He was not surprised and said, "Grandma's! Have you forgotten the yellow sheep that has been around Yangling in recent days? Brothers, it seems that Shi Chang won't have a chance to show his skills tomorrow! ”

Several people let out a low cry of joy in unison, and they scattered in unison, tiptoeing to the place where there was a slight noise in front of them.

The captain walked a few steps further, the torch leaned forward, and vaguely saw a deep grass in front of him, and suddenly heard a strange sound of "smack", it seemed that some beast was tearing something, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and there was an inexplicable fear in his heart, and his steps were sudden.

He hesitated slightly, but finally couldn't suppress the fear from the dark and unknown in his heart, and slowly retreated, only to hear the "click" under his feet, but he stepped on a dead branch on the ground.

The sound stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence again. In the deep grass more than half a man high, two bright green lights suddenly lit up and forced their eyes towards him.

The Wu Chang was shaken violently, as if he had seen an indescribable nightmare in a terrifying dream, and his body was as if he had been immobilized, and it was so stiff from head to toe that it was difficult to move a bit.

In the night sky, a terrified scream was heard far away, filled with unbelievable horror and desperate and tragic shock. Then, the chaotic footsteps and shouts sounded, and soon turned into a frightened roar, and the last crazy scream was silent halfway through, and the group immediately became silent, as if the man had suddenly swallowed the scream back into his stomach, and in the atmosphere of suppressed panic, the strong bloody atmosphere gradually spread.

In the distance, Shi Chang, who was walking with his head bowed, turned around in shock, drew his knife and rushed towards the place where the screams were made.

The other five-person team was separated from their comrades not long ago, and when they were closer, they were also stunned and turned around.

In the thick of the night, as if somewhere in the darkness writhed strangely, a black shadow appeared silently, chasing the Han army from behind.

The last Han soldier shouted wildly, and five sharp claw tips suddenly stretched out from his chest, followed by the blood rain to the sky, and the whole person was torn apart.

The four Han soldiers in front of them stopped in shock, and before they could turn around, two more people had cold vests, and they were pierced through their chests and abdomen alive, and they fell straight down in the blood surge.

The captain who led the team was the one who complained before, although his mouth was slippery, the kung fu in his hands was very good, and then he listened to the screams of his subordinates, and he didn't even look back, so he slashed out with a backhand.

There was a clear sound of "ding", and I didn't know what was hit, but the captain was like a lightning strike, and the long knife flew out of his hand, and at the same time, he had already heard the cry of the last subordinate brother before he died.

That Wu Chang's heart flashed, and in an instant he had already made a painful decision, and he did not turn back, but rushed forward. It's just an instant, the four brothers have all died, and it is conceivable that the brothers of the other team must also be more than lucky, no matter whether the enemy is a demon or a human, they are far from being able to compete with themselves, even if they turn around and fight hard, it is just a waste of life.

The front is the place where the two teams patrol separately, as long as you turn the corner, you will not be far from the main gate of Yangling, there are still 200 Han troops in the tomb, and only by escaping into the tomb can you save your life.

He screamed in his heart, to live, only by living can there be hope, and only by finding out the truth will he avenge his brothers!

The coercion behind him felt even worse, and suddenly a sharp pain came from behind him, and he could even hear the strange sound of the Sensen's claws cutting through his flesh.

At the time of life and death, the pain seemed to stimulate the full potential in his body. The captain screamed wildly, walked faster, and rushed around the corner, slamming into the arms of a man.

"Ahh The man grabbed the captain and danced the long knife into a white light with one hand, protecting the two of them together. But it was the chief who finally arrived.

The Wu Chief's heart was relieved, and he shouted: "Be careful, there are monsters chasing me!" ”

Nashi's face twitched, and suddenly he shoved the long knife into his hand, but he untied the longbow from behind with lightning from behind, and the long arrow was struck, pointing straight into the darkness.

The darkness around the corner was as silent as death, and there was no more movement.

In the Yangling, there was a sudden boil, and countless fires ignited and surged towards the main entrance. The screams of a few Han soldiers before they were killed had already alarmed the entire Yangling garrison.

Nashi Chang exhaled, but at a glance, he saw that the leather armor behind Na Wu Chang was completely torn, revealing four long claw marks, and the blood was still oozing out.

He couldn't help but change color miserably and said, "What happened to the brothers? You say there's a monster, what the hell is it! ”

Under the firelight that was getting closer and closer, the face of the chief was as white as paper, and the courage to survive had disappeared after escaping, and for a moment he recalled the terrible experience of Shicai, and couldn't help but tremble, but he couldn't say a word.

Shocked and angry, he shook his shoulders and shouted, "Are you stupid? Say it! ”

In the distance, a brutal and long low roar sounded, the roar was not a passionate roar, only an unfinished bloodthirsty meaning, it seemed to be the regret of the desolate beast when it failed to drink the flesh and blood, but it made people feel the war millet from the bottom of their hearts, giving birth to despair as if they would become food in their mouths in the next moment.

The chief Wu's hand was weak, and the long knife fell to the ground, but the chief of the Wu fell to the ground, but the chief of the country shook his body and shouted wildly: "This is not the roar of the tiger!" What is it? ”
