Chapter 113: The Horse Corpse Under the Ridge

"Dalala....... Da la la ......"

A desolate mountain path lined with bare tree trunks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The floor is covered with thick fallen leaves, like a carpet. In the midst of the yellow leaves, a dozen knights galloped on their prancing horses, their hooves rolling up pieces of fallen leaves and whirling in the wind.

........Suddenly, the knight at the head of the knight reined in the war horse, and before the horse could stop, his right hand threw the long lance across the saddle sheath down, and with a "grab" sound, the long lance of the second zhang was deeply inserted into the ground, and the knight jumped and jumped off the horse.

The knights behind ".......Huh" stopped in unison, "Old Five, what's wrong?" Meng Weizhen, who was behind, saw Zhang Xin suddenly dismount, and couldn't help but wonder.

Zhang Xin did not answer, took a big stride, walked a few steps to a towering pile of dead leaves on the side of the road, pondered for a moment, and carefully pulled the pile of dead leaves away with a long lance, revealing a horse corpse buried under the dead leaves.

When Meng Weizhen saw the horse corpse that suddenly appeared, he was shocked in his heart, picked up the copper hammer hanging on both sides of the saddle with both hands, and shouted in a low voice: "Dismount, be alert!" Hearing Meng Weizhen's order, more than a dozen knights behind him glanced at each other, quietly rolled off their horses, and each drew out the blades on their waists to surround the city in a circle.

When Meng Weizhen walked to Zhang Xin's side with a double hammer, Zhang Xin had already dug out more than a dozen horse corpses from the dead leaves piled up next to him. Seeing Meng Wei coming over, Zhang Xin picked up a horse corpse and turned it over gently, revealing the mark on the neck of the war horse, and said in a low voice: "The mark of our Yanzhi Mountain, it has been less than a day since the new death was made. Liu Tiedao was attacked here? ”

Meng Weizhen tilted his head and thought for a while, "Almost, this is not far from Sanfeng Ridge." Looking at the horse corpse carefully, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, and he only felt that how he looked at it and how he felt that the horse died so unnaturally, but if he wanted to tell him what was wrong, he couldn't say. I couldn't help asking, "Old Five, what do I think....... This horse died a little weird? ”

"Not bad." Zhang Xin put the lance aside at this time, and a pair of big hands went down a little bit along the horse's head, carefully groping the bones of the horse's body, "I also think it's strange, the only fatal wound of this horse is the broken neck, and there are no other external injuries." But...... War horses have always been psychic, and even if the galloping war horse loses its front hooves and falls, it can adjust its direction in time to protect its neck, and it will not be so simple to say that it is broken. But looking at the broken musculoskeletal part of the neck, it seems that the horse died suddenly while galloping, and then broke under inertia. ”

"Sudden death? What is the method of sudden death? ”

Zhang Xin shook his head, "This horse has no scars on his body, could it be that he suddenly fell ill?" But even if a horse suddenly falls ill, how can more than ten horses get sick at the same time? Hearing Zhang Xin's words, Meng Weizhen suddenly shuddered, "You mean...... This horse ran and ran and died for no reason? And then broke his own neck........ This, this, this....... Old Five, could it be the ghosts in the mountains that are haunting? ”

Zhang Xin listened to Meng Weizhen's words, and said "hey", "Don't scare yourself, how can there be any ghosts in this world?" If there is really a ghost, then come out and let the gentlemen see, I haven't seen what a ghost looks like when I'm so big, just open my eyes. ”

"Bah, bah, ........" Meng Weizhen hurriedly covered Zhang Xin's mouth, "Old five, Zi has said that you can't blame the power for being confused!" Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Hmm......." Zhang Xin broke away from Meng Weizhen's dirty hand covering his mouth, "Bah, bah, don't move your hands and feet........ Third brother, I remember that it seems that the second brother's eyes were blinded by Zhao Xuanli's apprentice with a flying needle? ”

Meng Weizhen was stunned for a moment, "Yes, the Zhengyi Sect's swordsmanship is superb, and he hardly uses any hidden weapons." Even if it is used, it is a large hidden weapon such as steel darts and hidden arrows. Looking at the entire Zhengyi Sect, I am afraid that only Zhao Xuanli, who looks like a girl's apprentice, uses such a girlish thing as an embroidery needle as a secret weapon. ”

"That'...... I kind of know. Zhang Xin's voice did not stop, and he took out the Daxia Dragon Bird Knife on his waist like lightning, and gently slashed at the heart of the horse corpse, and the hard horse bone was silently cut by the Dragon Bird Knife, and on the originally smooth horse belly, a bowl-sized blood hole was revealed in the heart.

The horse had been dead for a long time, and although it had been disemboweled, there was not much blood flowing out at this time. Zhang Xin groped deep into the horse's corpse with his left hand for a moment, and took out a horse heart.

Zhang Xin completely ignored the plasma in his hands and the horse heart that was still dripping blood, his five fingers were slightly forced, and the horse heart was pinched and exploded by Zhang Xinsheng with a "snap", and in an instant, blood and flesh were splashed, and many pieces were splashed on Meng Weizhen's boots.

"Oh......" Meng Weizhen said in disgust: "Bloody hula, why are you so disgusting?" ”

Zhang Xin smiled slightly, his left hand clenched his fist in front of Meng Weizhen's eyes, and his five fingers slowly opened, revealing a shining silver needle in the middle of his palm.

"This ........" Meng Weizhen looked shocked and stretched out his hand to pick up the silver needle. I saw that this silver needle was made of sterling silver, and the needle was tattooed with strange patterns, and it was soaked in the heart of the war horse for a long time, but there was not a trace of blood. There is no half weight in the hand, and it is even a little soft when you flick it with your fingers, and you can easily pinch and bend it.

"Two possibilities." Zhang Xin raised two bloody fingers, "First, that person was a few feet away, and a silver needle pierced the heart of the war horse. ”

"It can't be!" Hearing Zhang Xin's speculation, Meng Weizhen immediately shook his head and said. This statement is really too sensational, you must know that the heart of the war horse is located in the horse's cavity, and the thick layer of bone plates and tendons wrapped around it may not be able to shoot through the heart of the war horse with an arrow even if it is a strong bow and a crossbow. If this light and soft silver needle can pierce the hearts of more than ten galloping war horses in one blow a few zhang away, not to mention the accuracy, this strength is unimaginable.

Zhang Xin also thinks it is unlikely, and they all say that martial arts practice to the extreme can fly flowers and pick leaves to hurt people and die, but there is also a limit to flying flowers and picking leaves. If that person can use a light silver needle to shoot a powerful crossbow far beyond the power of a strong bow, who can get close to him under the flying needle? With such kung fu, you can set foot on Yanzhi Mountain, so why bother to take hostages?

"Second, that person can calculate the blood flow of the war horse, so he only needs to inject the silver needle into the blood veins of the war horse, and the blood flow speed of the war horse will speed up under the gallop, and he will naturally take the silver needle along the blood vessel to pierce the heart."

"This ......" Meng Wei shook his head, how easy was it to calculate the blood flow of the war horse's whole body in an instant? The point is that this is not just one horse, but a dozen. That is to say, the person who came calculated the blood flow of more than a dozen horses in an instant, and then flew out more than ten needles, which pierced the blood vessels and punctured the heart with the blood flow. It is even more unbelievable to say this than to come and directly pierce the horse's bone and puncture the heart.

"It's ....... It's just too sensational. Old Five, is there a third possibility? ”

Zhang Xin shook his head, "Maybe there is, but I can't think of it." Third brother, do you say that the person who blinded the second brother has such a ability? ”

"It's impossible." Meng Weizhen affirmed, "If that person has such skills, how can the second brother have a life?" ”

"That's right...... Zhang Xinmo rubbed his chin, "In this way, eighty percent of this flying needle is someone else." Third brother, that person has such a secret weapon kung fu, it is useless to go to many people, it is better to let the brothers stay here first, let's go and find out. If there is disharmony, let's shoot the cloud-piercing arrow, and the brothers will arrive in a moment. ”

Meng Weizhen knew that what Zhang Xin said made sense, that person's secret weapon technique was simply at its peak, and it was estimated that it would be useless for brothers like himself with martial arts. nodded and ordered the knights behind him, and then took out a cloud-piercing arrow from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Xin's arms, "Let's go, let's go to the meeting with a single knife today!"
