Chapter 110: The human heart is terrifying
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moon shed a great amount of light again, and the half-faced man opened his mouth and made a few whining sounds, as if the sound was muffled in a jar, not very transparent, but powerful.
Li Liang looked at the other side and walked towards him, Rao is an iron-blooded man who has led the troops to fight for so many years, and he also stayed on the spot for a while.
The phoenix in Su Yu's hand was gentle, hummed, out of the sheath for half an inch, and was preparing for a decisive battle, when he suddenly saw a shadow on the side, like the wind, "whoosh" out, facing the person with half of the face, made a bluffing posture, slapped the jar in his hand open the mud seal with one palm, and shouted: "Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, demons and monsters will appear soon!" ”
After thinking about it, he took a light leap holding the altar, and something black in the altar splashed towards the person with half of his face with a bang.
The half-faced man seemed to have experienced such a thing often, and his body flashed, and he dodged it, only a few drops of his ragged clothes were stained, and he looked even more shabby.
What kind of black dog blood or rooster blood spilled out, Zicheng saw that it had no effect, so he reminded Su Yu and Li Liang loudly: "This demon seems to be very profound, everyone be careful!" ”
After listening to Zicheng's words, the half-faced man paused, did not move forward, waited for a while, and raised the bell in his hand again, intending to shake it again.
Zicheng thought that his momentum was bluffing the other party, and he pulled out the sword worn with copper coins to ward off evil spirits, and was about to stab at the person with half of his face, but he was stopped by Su Yu just now.
Su Yu looked at the man, Feng Ming had already retracted his back, bowed his hand, and asked, "Your Excellency is a corpse chaser?" ”
The man turned his head and looked at Su Yu with half of his face that was still complete, under the moonlight, that face was clearly a little immature, just a pair of eyes, dark and invisible.
"Who are you?" The man's mouth didn't move, and his body made a muffled, but extremely powerful voice, and asked Su Yu.
It's ventriloquism!
Su Yu was a little shocked, she had only seen this kind of magical record on the rivers and lakes in ancient books, but it was the first time she had seen it in real people.
"Down, Qingyunling Su Yu."
The man nodded, as if he understood, and then looked at the other two, who were extremely wary, and said, "Why did you stop me?" ”
Su Yu said truthfully: "At first, I thought that someone was pretending to be a ghost to scare the people, but it turned out to be wrong. ”
The man's brows furrowed, and there was some gleam in his eyes, "How do you know I'm not pretending to be a ghost?" ”
Su Yu took a few steps forward, looked at the dead corpses that were swaying on the ground, and said regretfully: "I have also seen records in the ancient books of southern Xinjiang about this technique of chasing corpses, but through a secret technique, let the corpses of some people who died in a foreign land go home, I observed that although the clothes on the corpses you drove were a little dirty and rotten, I could still vaguely see that they were all ordinary soldiers' clothes." And the direction you came from, that side is the largest grave in this pass, and the burials are all the soldiers who died in battle when they resisted the Beidi soldiers, and I think there are families who are a little wealthier, and they ask you to help the bodies and souls of these soldiers return home. ”
The man looked at Su Yu, was silent, and remained silent for a moment. He said to Su Yu again: "You're not afraid of me?" ”
Su Yu smiled, "There are always a hundred forms in life, and if the heart is broken, it is really terrible." ”
The man was silent for a moment, looked up at Su Yu a few more times, turned around and said: "You don't have to do anything, tonight this is the last transaction at the border gate, this Liang is the world of disputes, many people die every day, although I chase the corpse people do the work of the underworld, but what they collect is the wealth of the yang world, in the final analysis, but it is also for the sake of livelihood, don't be old and poor, and let the rat bite the other half of the face." ”
As he spoke, the bell in the man's hand shook slightly, and then he silently recited an ancient and mysterious mantra in his mouth, and rang the bell again, and the corpses on the ground stood upright from the ground as if they were alive, and jumped forward step by step with the shaking of the bell in the man's hand.
Zicheng and Li Liang around him looked at them from a distance and stopped talking, because how many of the soldiers who died were their subordinates and brothers, if possible, who didn't want to guard their relatives and children at home and live a good life.
Su Yu looked at the person who was thin and bowed away and gradually moved away, and recalled that when she was a child, the old man in the village told her that when she was in a famine year, the common people did not live like people, and even the mice in the ground in the house knew that people were easy to bully. When someone has a child and can't take care of it, while the child is sleeping, he also has to dig up the bark of wild vegetables and trees to eat, so as not to starve to death.
When the adults in the family are gone, the children still can't climb, and sometimes there will be hungry mice, crawling on the dilapidated kang of the common people, gnawing on the flesh and blood of the child, bite by bite, the child screams in pain, but has not yet had the ability to drive the mouse away.
The person who just drove the corpse, Su Yu looked at him and was not very old, if he was born in a rich family, he was at the age when he was curious about everything, and now he looked at the man's eyes, he had lost his luster dimly, and he had experienced a thousand hardships, he was relatively friendly to this world, but the people in this world are estimated to be either afraid of him or dislike him, he is always lonely and has experienced vicissitudes.
Looking at the departing team, Su Yu looked at it, and then called Li Liang, put all the tributes and paper money in the middle of the road and lit it, and sent it to the dead or alive person on the last journey.
In fact, whether it is the dead or the living, their misfortunes and tragedies are all due to this desolate world.
If there is a choice, who does not want to be reborn in a peaceful and prosperous world, live and work in peace and contentment, and prosper for their descendants.
The faint fire ignited, Su Yu looked at it from a distance, the person who drove the corpse seemed to look back, Su Yu couldn't see his face, but only seemed to listen to the valley, faintly echoing Thank you.
Back in the city, Xiao Yi saw that Su Yu was not a little tired, but there were no scars, and when he saw her, he didn't say anything, and he didn't ask more, but only carefully arranged for the people in the yard, so he didn't want to disturb her.
Li Liang went back to appease the people and soldiers in the city, only saying that a group of Yin soldiers were short of food and grass, and he asked for some paper money from the people, and left forever.
There are brave people, if they really go to see the road, they will be more convinced that what Li Liang said is true, even if the wild wind blows away the burning ashes, there must still be traces of burning on the ground.
Zicheng told Jiaojiao that it was his heroic wit that defeated the evil demon, and the demon was defeated, so he completely left and never came back, and really, in this way, Zicheng's uncle's illness also improved extremely quickly.
At the beginning, Su Yu tossed and turned, thinking about a lot of things, thinking about the soldiers who killed the enemy with her in Xichuan, thinking about the places where they fought along the way, the people who were struggling to make a living, thinking about the family's desire to do everything they could to let the deceased go home, thinking about the young man who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, all of this is faintly connected.
I don't know when, Su Yu fell asleep, and in her dream she recalled the scene of the bandits burning and looting on Qingyunling, the home and relatives she grew up in were ruthlessly destroyed like that.
The fire was blazing, she stood by the fire, calling out for her mother, but she was never seen, and when she turned around, she saw that the fire was spreading, devouring one person after another in the village, and those who were vital to her heart fell down one by one.
First Yiyi and scholars, then Da Kui and Tang Zhe, Zhulin was very scared, waving his arms to call her, Su Yu just wanted to take a step forward, but found that he was surrounded by a fire, and slowly, she and the former Qingyun Village were swallowed up.
When he arrived here, Su Yu screamed, and suddenly woke up from his dream, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Xiao Yi approached, reached out and took Su Yu in his arms, let her head rest lightly on her shoulder, and comforted her carefully: "Have a nightmare?" Sleep in peace, I've got you. ”
Su Yu raised his head, looked at Xiao Yi, and suddenly asked, "When will you be able to stop fighting?" When will the girder become stable and rich? ”
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and stroked Su Yu's hair, and replied affirmatively: "Everything is almost over." ”
Su Yu raised her head, and just as she was about to ask again, she saw Xiao Yi looking at her, lowered her head, and slowly approached with a head, took the mouth she was about to speak, and gently sucked Yun.
After receiving Xiao Yi's kiss, indulging in his unique breath, when the kiss stopped, Su Yu just wanted to refuse Xiao Yi, saying that it was not good to prostitute himself during the day, so he saw that Xiao Yi had already put his hand on her clothes belt, and said confidently: "Yu'er has been sleeping for a day, and now the sun has just set, it is not a daylight." ”
Su Yu wanted to say more, so he could only whine a few times, drowning in Xiao Yi's somewhat domineering demand.
The moon is on the tip, and the night is in the third watch.
Su Yu felt that it must be reasonable for God to let people sleep at night, for example, when she slept for a while during the day, she was in good spirits, secretly counted thousands of stars, and failed to fall into a dream again.
Looking at Xiao Yat again, because she didn't fall asleep, tossing and turning, he was also half-asleep and half-awake, and he couldn't sleep steadily.
After another moment, just as Su Yu closed his eyes and was about to start counting from the first star again, he suddenly felt that the moonlight that had penetrated the room flickered, and then there seemed to be an extremely subtle sound on the side of the window, and it squirmed for a moment.
Su Yu noticed something unusual, got up quickly, and just wanted to get out of bed to take a look, but saw that Xiao Yi, who was sleeping outside, had also gotten up and walked a few steps to the window.
The people outside the window also seemed to notice the noise in the room, and the rustling immediately stopped.
Xiao Yi and Su Yu glanced at each other, stretched out their hands and suddenly opened the window, only to see a black shadow jumping out of the courtyard wall from the roof.
