364. Yin soldiers cross the border
For a moment, the two of them were still standing stunned on the snow.
"Are they ......, are they gone?" Yao Fangyu looked nervously into the distance, the heavy snow was still falling, but the carriage was no longer in the white expanse, leaving a string of blood stains and broken wood on the ground.
The seven black figures were gone, but the feeling of danger did not dissipate. Nangong Jin was silent, holding the heavy sword tightly, feeling everything around him, and there was no movement for a long time, "Let's go back and get to the uninhabited tribe as soon as possible." ”
Yao Fangyu nodded, followed Nangong Jin to leave this place quickly, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember those monsters outside Tianchengwei?" ”
"How?"
"Those people just now couldn't cut at all." Yao Fangyu explained.
Nangong Jin frowned and pondered. Could it be that Zhao Yingfeng is here? If this is the case, it is very likely that the 3,000 missing Ming troops will be killed by these monsters. Because of this, the nobles in Bansheng City didn't know that there was a Ming army going deep, it was the White Lotus Sect that fought this battle, and it was Zhao Yingfeng! But in any case, you shouldn't take such a long detour from Tuotuo to Daqingshan. Could it really be Wei Chaoge? Without evidence, it cannot be said nonsense, which will ruin the Ming Dynasty's many years of operation in Tatar.
"After Tianchengwei, I saw Zhao Yingfeng in Yunmeng Mountain." Yao Fangyu continued.
"Yunmeng Mountain?" Nangong Jin didn't understand why they went to Yunmeng Mountain. Thinking of Zhao Yingfeng's eyes shining when he saw her, he was not very happy in his heart.
"Yes, there were two of them, and a woman. However, the woman only met once and never saw her again, nor did she introduce her. He seemed to be looking for the classics of those immortal cultivators. ”
Nangong Jin was taken aback. Could it be that he has really found a way to keep people from hungry or cold? But what about blood food? Or is it not Zhao Yingfeng at all?
As it gets darker, I don't know if it's late afternoon or if there's a bigger snowstorm coming, either way, this kind of weather can't be stopped in the wild.
Nangong Jin took out the compass and discerned the direction again, "We have to go quickly, we must go to that tribe at night." ”
As they spoke, the two suddenly stood still, looking serious. The earth trembled rhythmically, coming from all directions. Nangong Jin pulled out a small dagger from his boots and handed it to Yao Fangyu, this could never be a movement that six or seven people could make.
It was getting darker, and it seemed as if the tremor was urging the night to come. The shock was near, and Yao Fangwei pulled Nangong Jin and hurried to the east. It's not just the shaking, you can already hear footsteps on the snow. The two looked at each other and ran.
A figure brushed behind Nangong Jin, no, not one, it was ten, a hundred ....... Nangong Jin turned around, gasped, and hurriedly pulled Yao Fangyu forward.
On a snowy night, the team couldn't see the outfit clearly, but it was uniform, and they moved forward silently except for the sound of footsteps on the snow.
Yin soldiers cross!
The Yin soldiers didn't go fast, and they didn't know the number of people through the heavy snow. The two fell down in the snow, Nangong Jin tried to see the clothes and looks of those people, and she didn't know if it was snow, but she only saw a dark gray.
"I'll go up and have a look." Nangong Jin whispered in Yao Fangyu's ear.
Yao Fangyu grabbed him and shook his head vigorously.
Nangong Jin hid for a while, but no matter how slow the Yin soldiers walked, they would finish. Nangong Jin couldn't wait, and whispered, "It's okay, I'll be back soon." As he spoke, without waiting for Yao Fangyu to react, he directly chased after the Yin soldiers not far away.
Nangong Jin fell behind the team of Yin soldiers, and he didn't dare to follow too closely, although he didn't believe in ghosts, but he was still a little frightened when he saw this situation now.
After a while, I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that this Yin soldier has lost its previous momentum. followed the small half-stick incense again, and suddenly found that the Yin soldiers in front of him were disappearing in rows.
Before the last row of Yin soldiers disappeared, Nangong Jin quickly chased after him.
Subsidence! It was they who had been looking for a day of subsidence. The depression in the snowfield was embedded in the earth like a bowl, and it was hard to see how big or deep it was in the heavy snow, but it seemed that there was something underneath. Perhaps, it was just his feelings.
"Ah Jin." I don't know when, Yao Fangyu also caught up.
The two of them stood on the edge of the subsidence, and they didn't see the Yin soldiers. Standing silently for a while, Yao Fangyu struggled for a long time and finally asked, "What now?" ”
Nangong Jin hesitated and said, "I'll go down and take a look." ”
"Don't!" Yao Fangyu hurriedly grabbed him, afraid that he would jump like this.
"I'll take a look, whether there is a Ming army down there or not, we will go."
Yao Fangyu shook his head, still holding on, and emphasized: "Those Yin soldiers also disappeared here. ”
Nangong Jin hesitated again, even if there were no ghosts and monsters in this world, if it was a monster made by Zhao Yingfeng, it would already be difficult to deal with, let alone a whole army. However, this also increases the possibility that the Ming army is lying at the bottom of the pit. You should still go and see it, it's Qiu Niang'.......
Yao Fangyu seemed to know his thoughts, and said ruthlessly: "Let's go together." ”
Indeed, it was not necessarily safer to stand outside the pit, but the two did not jump down unprepared. In the heavy snow, he walked back to the place where he had encountered the monster before, and dug up the materials and wood that had fallen from the snow.
Next to the fire, Yao Fangyu broke the things that were used into two packages, while Nangong Jin made two simple sleds out of the broken wood of the carriage.
It was already dark, and after filling their stomachs, the two of them put on their bags and put on their sleds to try to glide through the snow. Gliding much faster than walking, they returned to the subsidence again.
Nangong Jin looked at Yao Fangyu and said, "It may be more troublesome to come up in a while, and it has been snowing ......." ”
"I know, you've confessed, the snow is too loose, use these two sticks to stick in the snow, and step on it to go up." Yao Fangyu interrupted him with a smile, "It's a big deal to come out overnight." After that, let's ski away, no slower than a horse-drawn carriage. ”
Nangong Jin glanced at her deeply, and said guiltily: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Yao Fangyu laughed, "Forget it, do you want to stand here until dawn?" Let's go. ”
This smile seemed to dispel the chill, and Nangong Jin also had a smile on her face, "Okay, you follow." So he took the lead and slid into the pit.
**********
The subsidence was not as deep as expected, and the deeper you went to the bottom of the pit, the more rugged the ground became, and the rocks were covered in heavy snow, adding to the insecurity. Nangong Jin stopped, took out a wooden stick wrapped in an oilcloth from behind and lit it, and when he saw Yao Fangyu following, he instructed: "It's not easy to walk here, be careful." ”
The torches illuminated the bottom of the pit, and it was impossible to see as far as the eye could see, and everywhere there were rocks covered in snow, blocking the view. Yao Fangyu looked left and right and asked, "How to find it?" In her opinion, the bottom of the pit didn't seem to be big enough to be a battlefield that could accommodate more than 3,000 people.
Such terrain also made Nangong Jin wonder if the head of that department had mistaken the rugged rock for a corpse? Also, where did the Yin soldiers who disappeared here? It's not like there's a passage here at all. Could it really disappear out of thin air? Besides, he really didn't expect the snow at the bottom of the pit to be so deep.
"Dig up the snow and just reveal a corpse to be sure. After all, there are three thousand people, and there should be one in any place. Nangong Jin said with certainty.
Yao Fangyu listened to him and looked at his feet.
Nangong Jin handed her the torch, "Let's start from under your feet." "Take out the shovel tool made of broken wooden planks, this thing can't stand too much force, but shoveling snow shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Nangong Jin identified a point and dug down. Half an hour later, a half-man-high snowdrift was piled up behind him, and only rocks were exposed under a half-foot diameter snow cave.
Yao Fangyu squatted outside the snow cave and held a torch to light him, "It doesn't seem to be here." ”
Nangong Jin stopped and looked, bent down, touched the perimeter of the snow cave, stood up, and stood for a while.
"How? Not? Yao Fangyu asked urgently.
"Let's go somewhere else." Nangong Jin jumped out of the snow cave lightly.
"Okay." Yao Fangyu smiled and said, "I choose this time." So, he took the lead and walked to the edge of the bottom of the pit, "If there is a real war, or if it is used as a burial ground, is it more likely to be close to the edge?" If you throw it from above, you can't throw it in the middle. If it's a war and the people above rush down, will there be more people on the margins? ”
Nangong Jin wiped her face, looked at her and smiled, "That makes sense." ”
Maybe it was the first time I shoveled snow, and the second time I did it a lot faster, but the result was still the same. This time, Nangong Jin simply asked Yao Fangyu to come down and rest on fire in this newly dug snow cave.
"When it's dawn, let's go back." Nangong Jin didn't know whether to be disappointed or to be happy.
Yao Fangyu nodded, "One, two is not three, I'll dig one up later." As he spoke, he picked up the wooden shovel and tried it out.
"We dug two holes, wouldn't we be so lucky, both times in the gap? Even if it's a gap, there's nothing in the snow, broken knives, broken arrows, chess sticks, or something. I guess the guy was wrong. Nangong Jin took a few sticks of dried meat, roasted them on the fire, and handed them to Yao Fangyu.
Yao Fangyu took a bite and asked in a low voice with a little doubt on his face: "Well, where did you say that team, well, Yin soldiers, went?" ”
"I don't know." Nangong Jin replied without thinking about it.
Yao Fangyu asked very carefully: "What do you think, what is the Yin Soldier?" Be...... Ghost? Or something else? ”
"I don't know." Nangong Jin was afraid that she would scare herself, so she smiled: "Maybe we have all seen illusions, which are very common on the snow field." ”
"I've heard about corpse fraud ...... in the South China Sea before." Yao Fangyu seemed to be thinking about the story of the corpse, and her heart became afraid.
"Hey, the snow looks like it's going to stop." Nangong Jin looked up at the sky and deliberately interrupted her.
"Ah Jin, you said that Yin soldier, could it be the 3,000 Ming army you are looking for?" Yao Fangyu was not interrupted and continued the topic. But she looked at Nangong Jin with some fear in her eyes, but she tried her best not to show it.
Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment, trying to remember the Yin soldiers he had seen before, but he only remembered the dark gray, and what he saw seemed to be just a group of shadows, and even the humanoid monsters that attacked them seemed to be blurry.
