Chapter 111: Makeover
"The Gangfeng formed by the convergence of this sword qi has now enveloped the entire Chang'an City, Feiyang and I specially circled around the outside of Chang'an City, Qin Wei, what the two of us think is that this sword qi must not be done by ordinary manpower..." Chuan Bao couldn't help but sigh.
"Hmmm... This Gangfeng, I'm afraid it's probably a ghost done by Yun Zhongjun. Qin Wei frowned and said: "In the memory of the mountain ghost, Yun Zhongjun is obsessed with swords, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary, and this person has existed for thousands of years, and his skills are naturally not comparable to ordinary people. ”
"Brother Qin, there's another news..." Chuan Bao hesitated for a moment, and then said.
Seeing that Chuan Bao was spitting, Qin Wei said, "What news?" When did you learn to speak halfway through? ”
"Feiyang and I were outside the city, and we saw the Tang army encamped." Chuan Bao said with a sigh.
"How fresh, that's all?" Qin Wei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Now that the two capitals have not been recovered, is there anything wrong with the Tang army stationed outside Chang'an City?" ”
"Yes, it's not new, it's just... Qin Wei, if I say this, don't think too much. Chuan Bao said, but the words changed sharply and said something that made Qin Wei confused.
"What's the matter, let's talk about it," Qin Wei asked.
"I saw Yan Feng. And look at the costume, it should be an official position," Chuan Bao hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice.
Bang, the tea bowl in Qin Wei's hand suddenly shattered into several pieces, and the slightly hot tea splashed on the table with dots of tea leaves. The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, Qingyun and Lian Yin couldn't imagine that Qin Wei would have such a big reaction, Lian Yin asked, "What's the matter... Who is Yan Feng? And Qingyun saw that Qin Wei's face was expressionless, but his complexion changed several times, and then he secretly pulled the legato and asked her not to say it. For a while, no one at the table spoke, and it was extremely quiet.
At this moment, several mourning teams came out of the alley, the front one threw paper money, several of them carried coffins, followed by a few family members who cried into tears, this scene is the most common in these years.
"Ahem" Chuan Bao cleared his throat, shook his head, and tried to shake those cries out of his mind, and then said: "Brother Qin, no matter what happened, after all, we all survived safely, Suiyang is gone, we are alone, it is difficult to change anything, and it has been so long since things have passed, don't blame Yan Feng." ”
"Yes... Yes, Qin Wei, why are you so careful, I heard Yan Xingchuan say, you were like brothers before, and I saw that he was extraordinary, he shouldn't look like a treacherous villain, there should be some misunderstanding here, Qin Wei, Qin Wei? Say a word. Feiyang saw that Qin Wei was silent so far, and said with some concern.
"Brother Qin? Speak"
"Qin Wei?"
However, no matter how everyone persuaded Qin Wei, Qin Wei still looked at the funeral procession from near and far with his eyes quietly and did not say a word.
"Look, I'll just say I can't tell him about this" After Feiyang's persuasion was fruitless, he had to give up, took the tea in front of him and drank it all, and muttered with a wipe of his mouth.
"It's a coincidence, why did this Yan Feng appear outside Chang'an City now?" Chuan Bao also took a sip of bitter tea and said with some annoyance.
"Providence..." Qin Wei said coldly, which startled a few people present.
"You just said that Chang'an City was shrouded in sword qi, and the Tang army besieged and did not attack must be this reason, this is actually God to help me wait." Qin Wei said again,
Chuan Bao shook his head: "I don't understand, what do you mean?" ”
"Now that everyone has learned the art of a thousand faces, we will disguise ourselves as strong men who have joined the army, and I think that with our help, it will be easy for the Tang Army to take Chang'an. We'll be able to get into town with ease. Qin Wei said.
"Yi Rongcheng joined the army? What if they don't take it? Feiyang asked with a frown.
"No, since Yan Feng is here, this matter has become very" Qin Wei said.
"Then we mentioned Yan Feng just now······" Feiyang was about to ask, but Chuan Bao on the side touched him lightly and signaled not to ask again.
"What happened just now?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.
"No, it's okay, just go on."
“······ Feiyang, you've learned to talk halfway through? Qin Wei said with some disgust.
Qingyun pondered for a moment and asked, "What is Brother Qin's plan?" ”
"It's very simple, let's pretend to be the remnants of the Thousand Cavalry Army, let's just say, we were previously subordinates of Qin Wei, the captain of the Heavenly Shield Battalion, and we were sent out to carry out a mission before the thieves rebelled. In the evening, I will demonstrate to you the marksmanship of the thousand horses, I think, with your current martial arts, although you can't master the essence of the gunnery of the thousand horses in one night, it is still easy to practice to the octagon. ”
"Pretending to be the remnants of the Thousand Cavalry? What if they treat us like spies sent by the rebels? Qingyun frowned and asked.
"Isn't that easy? Qin Wei's illusion technique has recovered four or five percent now, whatever comes to Yan Feng's mind, he can't agree to it if he wants to" Fei Yang said with a smile.
Qin Wei shook his head: "No, I won't use illusion to deal with him, don't forget, Tang Jun has the Tiangong Academy behind him, we have also seen the strength of the Tiangong Academy before, just the Beidi Star Palace under it, Ling Miaotian, an ordinary person, is so difficult to deal with, it can be seen how unfathomable the Heavenly Palace Academy is, so we must hide our strength, in case we are found out, it will not be good." ”
"In other words... I can't use the Sky Flight? Then you might as well kill me with a knife. Fei Yang had a negative look on his face.
"At least before you capture Chang'an, you have to get used to walking on your legs" Qin Wei said expressionlessly: "I know this is difficult for everyone, but in order to hide our identities temporarily, we have to do this, Brother Yan, Qingyun, Lianyin, Feiyang, you have all practiced the One Yuan Wuji Exercise in Taihua Palace, and at this time, the exercises that are not transmitted in Taihua Palace are too obvious, so starting tomorrow, this exercise cannot be used." Tonight, I will pass on to you a body forging technique that is widely circulated among the Thousand Cavalry Army, and with your skills, it should be very simple to comprehend this kind of mental method. ”
Hearing Qin Wei say this, Feiyang's eyes immediately widened, "You can't use one yuan Wuji Gong!" Hey, Qin Wei, do you know that all my exercises are based on the One-Yuan Wuji Gong, and my One-Yuan Wuji Gong has been practiced to the ninth level, and I am only one step away from the ten-fold consummation, this can't be used, and I can't use the Sky Movement, then I'm really not as good as an ordinary soldier! Qin Wei, are you sure? ”
Hearing Feiyang's words, Qingyun and Lianyin's complexions also changed, because they had only practiced the mental method of One Yuan Wuji Gong from beginning to end. If they can't use this skill, they are almost no different from ordinary people.
Chuan Bao said: "I don't care, after all, I still have some kung fu before going up the mountain." ”
Qin Wei said: "Brother Yan, you can't use the exercises before you go up the mountain, Yan Feng has seen them all." ”
Chuan Bao frowned, and suddenly looked sad: "From this point of view, then we are really ordinary people, so how can we attack Chang'an?" ”
Qin Wei poured himself a bowl of tea again, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about these things first, now I have a question, do you mind digging up dead bodies?" ”
The four of them, who were still looking sad, suddenly looked at Qin Wei with a frightened expression······
At night, in the mass graves outside the town, it was eerie, with pale green ghost fires flickering and flickering, and old and new paper money scattered everywhere indiscriminately. On the rotting corpses covered by straw mats, there are a few black crows scattered here and there, trying to peck at the rotten straw mats and taste the deliciousness. In front of several newly erected graves, there are newly cut paper flags, in the bright moonlight, the plain white paper flags dance with the wind, squirming, the new paper money and tribute in front of the grave have long been ruined by wild cats and wild dogs. It was a well-maintained cemetery, but in the years of impermanence, this cemetery was turned into a mass grave in just four years, after all, there were not so many places for these dead people to sleep.
In the war era, human life is like mustard, or died of swords and sticks, or died of plague and famine, this kind of time, there is never a shortage of new mourners, yesterday there was still a possibility of drinking and talking with people, today is the yin and yang separation. If you have money, order a coffin, and collect the moneyless, you should also take a straw mat and roll it up carefully, even if the family is surrounded by four walls before death, and the sky is bright, and the bones cannot be exposed to the wilderness after death, this is a tradition since ancient times, even if it is a lonely prodigal son who is outcast, someone will be dragged to a mass grave after death, and the dead will be in company. All of this stems from the people's fear of death, the dead are great, even Qin Wei, who is used to fighting on the battlefield, also understands this truth, so Qin Wei prepared incense, candles, paper money before sunset, stayed until late at night, and led everyone to carry shovels and came to several new graves in the mass grave. In the middle of the night, no one else will come to this eerie place.
"Qin Wei, are you sure you really want to do this... Wear a dead man's skin... Uh·· Do you dare to be more disgusting," Fei Yang said with a frown.
Qin Wei didn't answer, but seriously divided the paper money into five parts, looked at the names hastily carved on the five new tombstones, and said in a low voice, "It's really providence, these five people are all men, let's do it quickly, otherwise the corpse will not be able to change its appearance if it begins to decompose."
“···· Dig it, I'll take a look..." Feiyang frowned and whispered. After Qingyun calmed down the panicked Lian Yin, he then picked up the shovel and stood with Qin Wei.
Qin Wei lit a piece of paper money in front of a monument, bowed heavily to the monument, and said in a low voice, "It is really helpless to borrow the king's skin today, I hope you don't blame him, he will return the skin safely when the war subsides, and the incense, candles, paper horses, will not be violated." ”
The paper money burned to the ground, and a breeze blew through it, and the remaining paper ashes were rolled into the air and dissipated into nothingness.
Qin Wei didn't know what would become of people after they died, and whether they would really have spirits in the sky, but when he saw the ashes disappear in the air, he suddenly felt that perhaps, the souls of the people in the grave were not far from them, quietly watching all this.
The grave bag was quickly dug up, and a coffin with fresh oil was revealed, and the torch reflected a faint light, it can be seen that this coffin is not a good material, the black paint is also hastily painted, and there are even wooden thorns in many places, Qin Wei pressed his palm on the coffin lid, only to feel that the palm was pierced by the wooden thorns, and there was a tingling pain, but he did not raise his hand, thinking in his heart: This may be the resentment of the person in the coffin, Qin Wei then sighed, and the long nails at the four corners of the coffin immediately squeaked, popped out the coffin lid, and scattered into the soil. Qin Wei lifted the suction strength in his palm and gently lifted the coffin. Lian Yin was so frightened that he hurriedly hid his little face behind Qingyun, Qin Wei stepped forward with a torch and found that there was a young man lying in the coffin who was well-dressed and well-mannered, with some handsome facial features, but there was a tear mole in the corner of his eye. I saw that his eyes were lightly closed, if it weren't for the pale face and black lips, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was sleeping peacefully, however, the stiff limbs and dark blood vessels all told Qin Wei that the man who looked like a scholar was dead, Qin Wei took out a scroll of plain silk in the coffin, on which was written the name of this person's birthday, why he died, this may be a local custom, by a living person to write such a letter, the dead person of the province went underground, forgot who he was, and suffered because he could not answer the question in front of the king of Hades.
"Yuan Shijie..." Qin Wei silently read the name on the silk, read the content on the silk, sighed, and then took the man out of the coffin, face down, placed it on the ground, took out a sharp dagger, and said: "This name, presumably your parents want you to achieve fame and fortune and become a masterpiece among scholars..." It's a pity that he died young due to overwork from reading day and night, which is really sighing... From tomorrow onwards, I will borrow your skin and name to fulfill your unfinished dreams for you..." With that, he thrust the sharp dagger into the back of the corpse's head with a pop, and then slashed hard······
In the second half of the night, Qin Wei put five freshly peeled human skins into the baggage, and then put the corpse back into the coffin safely, covered the coffin, refilled it with soil, kowtowed heavily to the mound, and then led everyone to leave the mass grave and rush to the inn where they were temporarily resting······
In the night, an old man with white hair hung quietly in the air, watching a group of people gradually move away, and sighed in a low voice, this person was the real person who left the Taihua Immortal Palace a few months ago.
"Alas, it seems that these juniors already have their own plans, and I'm afraid that going with you, this old bone, will add to the chaos····· That's it, now that Senior Brother Taiqing is seriously injured, I still have to hurry up to find the life-saving elixir back to Tiancao, you must take care... Alas..."
After saying that, the figure flashed, and disappeared in the air without a trace.
On the way back, Chuan Bao whispered to Qin Wei: "Qin Wei, just now in the mass grave, I sensed the spiritual power of Elder Wan Kai's master, the Fallen God True Person. But this spiritual power is not hostile to us, and it is not coming with us now."
"Huh? Falling God Real Man·· I know that in the memory of the mountain ghost, he was trapped in the sea of divine consciousness by the mountain ghost with illusion, why, he woke up? Qin Wei said in a low voice.
"Well, on the day when the mountain ghost was wiped out in the thunder, the Fallen God True Man woke up, but he went down the mountain that day, and Elder Wan Yan cried for several days." Chuan Bao answered,
"Of course, because the mountain ghost once sealed the secret of the jade seal of the country in the mind of the true person of the fallen god, he went down the mountain, I'm afraid it was also for the blood of the nine people, just since he has no hostility towards us, let's go with him······"
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next time. (To be continued.) )
