Chapter 39: The Underworld Soldier Borrows the Way
The inn is three floors high, and Lu Xin stands on the third floor and looks down, and every move of pedestrians on the street can be seen.
But at this time, it was not a person who walked under the inn, but a large number of underworld soldiers.
The long line is long and there is no end in sight. Every soldier is covered with ancient, heavy armor. In the hands, they are either holding halberds or holding guns, all of which are weapons cast in bronze. And their bodies, with only their heads exposed, were terrifying skulls with their eyes blazing.
In China, since ancient times, there has been a legend that the underworld soldiers borrowed the Tao and a hundred ghosts traveled at night. Before Lu Xin crossed over, he had seen similar animations when he was playing mobile games. But it's just an animation, it's an imaginary picture. But the scene that happened under his nose at this time was so real.
The soldiers walked fast, neither speaking nor breathing. There is hardly any trace of its presence except for heavy footsteps. The line was so long that I didn't know where it came from, and I didn't know where it was going.
The scholar was the least daring, and he couldn't help but scream after just a few glances, but fortunately he was stopped by the moon.
"You want to die! The underworld soldier borrowed the way, this is to return to the underworld. If you bump into a living person, you just don't move. If they find out, they will immediately be swept away from their souls and go with them to the underworld. ”
The voice of the moon is as thin as a mosquito and a fly, and it is almost inaudible if it is not leaned against the ear. Although he is a monster who has practiced for a hundred years, he has obviously never encountered such a strange thing, and he is also a little afraid.
Squad after team of Grims walked through the streets, seemingly with no end in sight. Lu Xin's body stiffened, and he stood in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses.
"Didn't the underworld soldiers cross the border and return to the underworld by the way of the sun, all in the wilderness where there are no people? This is Xuanzhou City, so many people, the yang energy is extremely heavy, how could they choose to walk through the city? Fox, what the hell is going on? ”
"You ask me, I ask who to go! I only know that this underworld soldier will appear once in Xuanzhou. Perhaps this inn happened to be built on the ancient path that the soldiers were going to take. Or perhaps, he was attracted by something in Xuanzhou City. In short, we speak quietly and try not to breathe or exhale. ”
The three of them leaned on the railing of the corridor and peeked down, although they were apprehensive, they were also very excited. This scene is rare in a hundred years, and many people will never see it once even if they live ten lifetimes. Lu Xin completely forgot the purpose of going out in the middle of the night, and all his thoughts were on the mysterious underworld.
After another minute or so, the long line of Hades finally came to an end. At this time, the scholar suddenly became excited again, and pointed in a distant direction to speak. Yue Buhei wanted to gag him, but was slapped open by the scholar.
"I don't scream, don't you two fools see? In that last line, in the last line of the underworld, there are people! ”
Looking in the direction pointed by the scholar, about sixty meters away, in the last team, a person in a black robe was mixed in. The formation of this army consisted of a small squad of five underworld soldiers, arranged neatly and in an orderly manner. But in that last row, it was supposed to be five underworld soldiers walking together. But now, the middle soldier is gone. In his place was a man with long hair and a shawl and dressed in a black robe.
It was the fifteenth full moon night, the moon was bright, and the sight was very good. Although Lu Xin couldn't be sure what it was, it didn't matter if it was a human or a ghost or a demon, at least, it wasn't a mortal soldier.
This scene is really weird.
The underworld soldier walks at night, but he goes to the underworld. Who will be able to blend in with this army and not be detected? Thinking of this, Lu Xin and the three of them all gasped. If it was a living person, this method can only be described as earth-shattering.
"Mother, my neck can't move, you two hurry up and pat me."
Maybe it's because he has been in one position for too long, and the scholar's neck is crooked. After Lu Xin twisted him, the scholar immediately yelled and hurried back to his room to sleep. Lu Xin also felt that things were getting more and more weird, and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time. The two were just about to leave, but the moon on the side stood up.
"Don't worry, there are still people behind these soldiers."
"Someone? Fox, you're blind, what fool would follow a bunch of ghosts...... I, my mother, there are really people! ”
In such an atmosphere, the scholar's startled appearance is even more terrifying than a ghost. But the moon is not dark and it is not wrong, behind those underworld soldiers, there are indeed people, and they are a large number of people. Judging from the position, there should be several forces following the underworld soldiers at the same time.
But it's too far away to see what those people look like. The only thing that is certain is that all of these people are onmyoji.
The soldiers passed by the inn and then disappeared into the night, as if they had never been seen. And the group of onmyoji who followed behind the underworld soldiers finally began to show their figures.
The closest to the mortal soldiers were three men dressed in yellow with a crown of hair tied on their heads. One of them also met with Lu Xin, it was Huang Yuyi of the Xuantian Sect. However, at this time, he obviously came with the elders in the sect. The two middle-aged men in front of him, their whole bodies exuding golden light, and they were stepping on two flying swords, one red and one purple, and they could actually fly in mid-air.
It was the first time Lu Xin had seen someone flying with a sword, and he was very shocked. In modern society, such scenes can only be seen in novels and movies.
Following behind the Xuantian Sect were two onmyoji, a man and a woman. The two of them were dressed in red, stepping on the fire clouds, standing side by side, and they were also moving forward in the sky. To the left of the two, there was a tall horse with four hooves that did not make any sound. On horseback sat a man, covered in a suit of silver armor, with no skin exposed. He was holding a green dragon in his hand, and he didn't know how many catties it weighed.
One person and one horse are behind, and there are three men and two women and five onmyoji. Each of the five wore a robe of a different color, and each held a large luminous seal in his hand. Although it was walking, the mana penetrated and was as fast as the wind.
Seeing this, there is no one behind it. And the onmyoji disappeared very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they also merged into the night with the underworld. Lu Xin took a deep breath, turned to look at Yue Buhei and Tu Chengli, and the three of them looked at each other, all with shocked and extremely curious expressions.
"Mother, Brother Xin, what did I see? These people are flying, it's too scary, are they all immortals? ”
"What a god! It should all be the cultivation of the micro realm, but with the help of the power of the talisman and magic weapon, it can fly temporarily. However, even if there is no master in the god realm, this force is strong enough. ”
Although Yue Buhei scolded and scolded, the tone of his voice was unprecedented and dignified. Lu Xin had seen the battle between Monk Huijing and Zhou Dian, and he understood very well how terrifying the power of the masters of the Guiwei Realm was.
"The underworld soldiers are just borrowing the way, and they will definitely go out of the city. Looking at the direction, they are heading west. If they encounter the underworld soldiers, the guards of the West City Gate will definitely not dare to stop them. We followed behind those people and took the opportunity to leave Xuanzhou City. ”
Lu Xin hesitated for a moment, but decided to take the risk and give it a try. The crossing of the underworld is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and no one dares to stand guard at the gates to stop an army of the underworld.
"Xin... Brother Xin! You have to think clearly, it's the soldiers of the Netherworld, all ghosts! In case we come back to eat people, the three of us are not enough for others to share. ”
"What are you afraid of, when the sky falls, there will naturally be a tall top. Fox, your Wind Charm can come in handy. ”
"Okay, the emperor wants to see it too. The underworld soldiers, who only appear once in sixty years, will disappear somewhere in the end. ”
Yue Buhei's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly. Immediately, his hands were sealed, and he blew at Lu Xin and Tu Chengli's feet respectively. In an instant, Lu Xin only felt that his whole body was fluttering, and he fell down from the inn like a leaf. The scholar didn't dare to jump, and was kicked down by Yue Buhei. He had no martial arts skills, but he also appeared on the street safely.
"You two don't want to die, I want to go to you, I don't want to die."
The scholar's face was pale, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry. Lu Xin glanced at him, didn't bother to speak, and was about to take a step towards the west. In my ears, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.
The source of the sound was above the head, and looking past, two graceful figures were speeding across the roof. Lu Xin recognized the identity of the person at a glance, it was the long-disappeared Miao Jiang sisters.
The three of them came out in the middle of the night, and the original plan was to get the tokens in the hands of the two sisters. I didn't think I would meet here.
"It seems that these two people have long known that the underworld soldiers will appear in Xuanzhou City, so they went out in advance and waited. If that's the case, then the sisters aren't easy. ”
Seeing the two sisters quickly disappear into the moonlight, Lu Xin's face became more and more difficult to look at.
"Brother Xin, let's go, why are you still stunned? If you don't leave, you won't be able to keep up. ”
The scholar suddenly shouted, and then without waiting for Lu Xin and the others, he ran quickly to the end of the street. Seeing this, Yue Buhei scolded loudly, but he didn't hesitate, his feet hit the ground, and he flew out more than ten meters in one step. Lu Xin looked at the backs of the two living treasures, shook his head with a wry smile, and followed behind with his skills.
The wind spell that the moon is not dark is a spell unique to the demon clan. It can make the soles of people's feet resist the wind, and the body is as light as a swallow. Not to mention on flat land, even if you walk among the barren mountains and mountains, you can also fly like an arrow. The speed of the three of them was extremely fast, and they arrived at the north gate in a blink of an eye. At this time, the gates of the city were wide open, and there was no one around. Not to mention the Onmyoji, even ordinary night watch officers and soldiers can't see one.
The three of them were overjoyed, and after leaving the city gate, they continued to march westward. After about half an hour, he finally found the traces of the Grim on the bank of a large river. At this time, the three of them had already left Xuanzhou for more than 100 miles.
"Fox, this underworld soldier has traveled all the way west, and he has walked through places where the yin qi is extremely heavy. And the time is getting later and later, and the yin energy will become heavier and heavier. When is it a head? Now that you have left Xuanzhou, don't follow anymore. ”
