Chapter 157: Heavenly Punishment
"Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, a dark chess master was found near Nancheng, and the city defense battalion and the passing Jinyi guards suffered heavy losses under surprise."
A herald rushed into the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in a rage, and bowed when he saw Liu Yina.
Since the night he started playing dark chess, Liu Yi has been in the middle of the dispatch here, and he has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights.
After finding An Ge the day after the incident, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with Xu Rui's ability, they would be able to get out of danger soon, but they didn't expect that three days passed in a hurry, but Xu Rui seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news.
In the past few days, not only the emperor asked three questions a day, Fan Kun and Mr. Dongli's inquiry posts flew like snowflakes, King Yu and King Su took their families out to visit, Princess Qixia came three times in person with a lame reason, and her face was worse and worse each time, and even several chambers of commerce in Changxing City with heads and faces were also changing their methods to inquire about Xu Rui's news.
In addition to the pressure from the outside world, Liu Yi has long regarded Xu Rui as his son, and worry and resentment alternately torment this old man over sixty years old.
Hearing the herald's words, Liu Yi suddenly got up, and a fierce light burst out of his scarlet eyes.
"Where are those dark chess pieces now?"
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, most of the dark chess has been wiped out by the garrison who arrived later, and only two masters of martial arts and martial arts are outstanding, and they have broken through the encirclement and fled separately, and Master Li Kuang Li of the Jinyi Guard is chasing him!"
"Gyeonggi Heavy Land will not allow such a small night to be wild!"
Liu Yi sneered and shouted: "Pass my general order, transfer the Hongwutang to enshrine the master reinforcements, be sure to wipe out the thieves, and order the Beiwuwei to prepare, once you get the news of Xu Rui, the old man will personally lead them to the rescue!" ”
"Yes!"
Wenbi Tower in the east of the city.
The three old peasants carried baskets on their backs as if they were collecting medicine in the mountains, but they went around and around to the long-abandoned writing tower.
In the dense forest dozens of zhang away, Lu Kang and Ning Xianru stood on the dense branches, staring coldly at a few people.
"Senior brother, do you really believe that there will be a secret mansion of the Immortal Family here?"
Ning Xianru asked with a frown.
"People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, if Xu Rui is smart, he shouldn't be cheating, not to mention that you have also seen the treasures of Tianbao Pavilion with your own eyes, if it is not the things of the immortal family, how can it be explained?"
Lu Kang looked at the three old peasants intently, and said without looking back.
Ning Xianru shook her head and said, "Naturally, I don't doubt the origin of those treasures, but Xu Rui has such a heavy treasure in his hand, how can he hand it over so easily?" ”
Lu Kang sneered: "Don't worry, no matter how smart Xu Rui is, he is only a seventeen-year-old boy, as long as he is a human being, he will have a fluke, and he is now struggling to survive, so that we will have a chance." ”
"But what if he wants money and doesn't want his life?"
Ning Xianru asked again.
Lu Kang frowned, and said fiercely: "Then I will let him taste the taste of life is worse than death, and ensure that he regrets coming to this world!" ”
Ning Qianru nodded: "If that's the case, I'm going to do it myself, I feel sick when I think of his lofty appearance." ”
"Shhhhh
As he was talking, Lu Kang suddenly pointed at the three old farmers and made a silent gesture.
Ning Xianru's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly looked towards the writing tower.
The so-called Wenbi Tower is a stone tower built by the previous dynasty, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, until now only a small half of the tower remains, and there are moss-covered ruins everywhere.
"That's it!"
The old farmer at the head gave an explanation, bowed three times to a dilapidated stone tablet, and then nodded to another old farmer beside him.
The old peasant, who was about fifty years old and gray-haired, saw the leader's order, and hurriedly took out the map ball and the wooden card from a small cloth bag.
He handed the map to the old peasant at the head, and the ball to the other old peasant, and he came behind the stele with the wooden plaque in his hand.
The old farmer at the head looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "This is the land of the immortal family, I heard that if you don't get it right, you will be punished by heaven, everyone be careful, and recite the spell strictly according to the instructions on the map!" ”
The faces of the two old peasants changed slightly, and they nodded solemnly.
"The hour has come, let's get started!"
The old farmer at the head looked at the sun above his head and gave an order.
The three of them stood on the side of the stele, bowed to it three times, and then held the map, wooden plaque and ball above their heads with both hands, and knelt down reverently.
"Hey Mu Fart, Hey Mu Four Lost Skin, Hey Mu Fart, Hey Mu Four Lost Skin......"
The three of them whispered in a neat voice, looking extremely reverent, as if they were really performing some kind of ritual.
They didn't notice that the scorching midday sun was shining directly on the "token" in the hands of the three people, and the thin layer of wax on the surface was slowly melting.
"Ahh
Suddenly, the old farmer holding the map screamed miserably, and the map suddenly burst into flames, and in the blink of an eye, the white flames jumped three feet high.
The old farmer subconsciously threw off the map, but the flame in his hand was still burning, and there was no sign of extinguishing it.
The old farmer was frightened and frightened, and hurriedly pressed his hands into the dirt under his feet, but flames came out of his fingertips, and in an instant burned one of his palms into a blur of flesh and blood.
"Heavenly Punishment!"
Seeing such a tragic situation, the other two old farmers were shocked, but before they could react, an even more terrible scene appeared.
First, the old man holding the wooden card exclaimed, and the wooden card in his hand burned without warning.
The flames that burst out instantly wrapped around his arms, and as before, no matter how painfully he rolled, the flames seemed to come from the bone marrow, and they could not be extinguished, and in just half an instant, most of his arms had been burned off.
The old man with the ball in his hand was even more miserable, the ball in his hand suddenly exploded into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang", and the yellow-white flames instantly devoured him like a demon.
Turning into a man of fire, he rolled on the ground in agony, but instead of weakening, the flames spread at an alarming speed, but for a moment he did not move, except for the terrible white flames that were still jumping.
This sudden scene shocked the two Lu Kang who were standing in the tree, and they couldn't hide any longer, and their toes touched the branches slightly, and the two flew down like two big birds.
"God save me, save me!"
The old farmer at the head desperately shook the flames on his hands and pleaded in pain, at this time his hands had turned into a pile of white bones, and the flames were still burning on the white bones.
"Three flavors are really hot?!"
Ning Xianru's pupils shrank, the long sword in his hand flashed with a cold glow, and the old farmer's hands were broken at the wrist, falling to the ground and burning themselves.
Ning Kang rushed in front of him with an arrow and took out two pieces of white cloth to wrap his wounds.
Ning Xianru was another sword, and the old farmer whose arms were on fire screamed, and his arms flew out instantly, and two streams of blood gushed out.
But he was not as lucky as the old man just now, and almost at the moment when his arms were cut off, he exhaled his last breath and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, whimpering for his life.
The old man covered in fire was even more miserable, he had already died when Ning Xianru and Lu Kang arrived, and his body was burned to a white bone by the terrible flames in an instant.
Even so, the flames were not extinguished, and they were beating wildly above the bones, making people's hearts numb.
And what is more terrifying than the flame is the large amount of white smoke that burns out, the white smoke is like a cloud, at first glance it is a bit of a fairy out of the dust, but its smell is very pungent, a little smell makes people dizzy, disgusting and nauseous.
"Smoke is poisonous!"
Lu Kang exclaimed, grabbed the old farmer with one hand, and pulled Ning Xianru with the other, and his body retreated several feet.
But after all, this was still a step too late, Lu Kang and Ning Xianru were okay, the old farmer was cut off his hands, and inhaled a large amount of white smoke, at this time his mouth and nose were already erosive and bleeding, and he fell to the ground and swallowed his last breath.
However, in a short moment, the three old peasants all died tragically, and the death was extremely terrifying, Lu Kang's face turned pale, and he was shocked and angry.
"Samadhi True Fire, Lingxiao Poison Cloud, it is really the Heavenly Punishment of the Immortal Family!"
Ning Xianru looked at the three corpses and muttered to herself in shock.
"A few of them did exactly what they instructed on the map, how could they still attract heavenly punishment? It must have been Xu Rui'er who deliberately concealed something, which caused such a tragedy! ”
When Lu Kang thought that he had planned to recite the mantra himself, he was afraid for a while, and gritted his back molars and said angrily.
Ning Xianru gritted her teeth and said, "Go back now, I want him to be unable to survive, and he can't die!" ”
The scene beyond common sense caused the two of them to be confused, and they hurried down the mountain before they even had time to clean up the corpses, and they didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes staring at them quietly in the dense forest.
"You keep an eye on these people, I'll go to pass the book to Miss Feige, and the person who grabbed the goods finally appeared."
The two dark chess masters in charge of spying on the Wenbi Tower split up, one of them followed Lu Kang and the others from a distance, and the other gently opened the pigeon cage he was carrying.
