Chapter 22: Retreat

The howling grew louder and louder, louder and louder, until at last it was like a gallop of ten thousand horses, as if countless horses had galloped over our heads.

Finally, several villagers couldn't bear the pressure anymore and fell to their knees and cried "wow".

More and more people fell to their knees, and more and more people cried and screamed.

They held their heads, kept crying, and hit the ground with their heads, and their foreheads were broken and bleeding, and they refused to stop as if they didn't know the pain.

Later, all the villagers, including the village chief, Guo Hongjin, Guo Hongwen, Guo Hongyou, and the workers and gentlemen who came with us, all held their heads and hit the bluestone ground in pain, as if they had to break their heads before they would stop.

In my head, it was as if a hacksaw was thrashing, as if a nerve was about to break.

I clenched my fists tightly, desperately trying to keep my mind clear, afraid that my nerves would "collapse" and break, and then I would hit my head on the ground like those villagers.

Tang Jiang, Zhu'er, and the brothers of the Dao Brother Guards also clenched their fists tightly, and dense cold sweat oozed from their faces.

The villagers soon bled profusely, and they looked shocking.

It definitely won't work like this, they're afraid they'll kill themselves!

"Which of you will point points? Hurry up and freeze them! I exclaimed.

My voice was almost drowned out by the tumbling howls and the screams of the villagers, and they couldn't hear me at all. It wasn't until I called for the third time that Tang Jiang, Zhu'er, and the brothers of the Dao Ge Guard heard it, but they all shook their heads one by one.

Ma Dan, none of these so-called masters can point points, what bullshit masters?!

"Then knock them all out for me!" I shouted again.

Tang Jiang: They still didn't hear it.

I yelled, "Knock them all out!" ”

By this time, several villagers had stopped hitting the ground with their heads, but had jumped up and bit each other like wild dogs.

Tang Jiang finally understood what I meant, and didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so he immediately rushed forward and slashed a villager on the neck with one palm. The villager snorted and fell to the ground softly, but his body was still twitching on the ground, and the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth.

With Tang Jiang as a demonstration, the other people also understood, and immediately rushed forward to concoct the same method, knocking everyone out in a moment.

In the courtyard, almost 200 villagers fell to the ground.

The howling continued.

Zhu'er, Tang Jiang, and the people of the Daoge Guards were also crumbling, sweating like rain, and I felt that I couldn't support it.

Fortunately, at this time, the howl finally slowly weakened, weakened, and finally became silent.

I barely stood by holding on to the wall, but my clothes were all soaked, my head was still "buzzing", and my whole body was exhausted. It felt as if there had just been a battle, and hundreds of thousands of people had charged together, and it was hard to escape death.

Zhu'er, Tang Jiang and the brothers of the six Dao Brother Guards are also similar.

A cold wind turned around the corner of the house and made a "whining" sound, which startled me, and I thought that the terrible howl was coming again.

We struggled to the fire, and sat down weakly on the hay laid on the ground.

"Wow", Zhu'er actually cried loudly.

I was terrified, and thought that Zhu'er was as crazy as those villagers, but I heard her cry and say, "I thought I was going to die this time!" ”

Tang Jiang said angrily: "You have been fucking dead for more than 1,700 years. ”

Zhu'er cried and said, "Aren't you afraid? You're not afraid how can you shake like this? I see you're peeing your pants! ”

I said, "Okay, what are you talking all this nonsense for?" Save your breath. Pull those people closer to the fire and don't freeze them to death. ”

After resting for a while, Tang Jiang and the others had the strength to stand up, pull the villagers over, and gather around the fire.

Zhu'er folded her hands and prayed with tears in her eyes: "God, God, please don't come again, I can't stand it again!" ”

Actually, I prayed for this in my heart, and if I did it again, I was afraid that I would go crazy too.

Fortunately, the terrible howl finally did not appear again.

It's getting brighter.

The light gives courage and hope, and at last we can no longer be as afraid as we did last night.

The villagers haven't woken up yet. I thought they were all dead, but when I went to check, I saw that they were still breathing smoothly and were not dead. Presumably Tang Jiang himself was in fear, and he didn't know the severity of his shots, and he beat them a little hard.

Tang Jiang took the two brothers of the Dao Brother Guard to check around, but they found no traces, and there were no clues at all about the missing workers and gentlemen. Those people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that they were really eaten like apples by the snow monster?

"Ten people are missing, all of them came with us." Tang Jiang said heavily, "I really don't know how to explain to their family when I go back." ”

After a pause, Tang Jiang continued: "Now we just brought the body of Emperor Jianwen to Yuanbao Village, and we have not been officially buried to this point. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. When the time is officially buried, I don't know what else will happen. I think...... It's not as good as ......."

Tang Jiang didn't finish his words, but I already understood what he meant: it is better to find another place for Emperor Jianwen to be buried, and there is no need to be buried in the ancestral grave of Yuanbao Village.

Tang Jiang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me, and continued: "We are not afraid of death, but if so many workers die here, or if they are missing and cannot be found, we ...... We really can't explain it to their families, and ...... There will definitely be people who will find out what is going on, and it will be difficult to say clearly when the time comes. ”

Zhu'er and the six brothers of the Sword Brother Guards all looked at me and nodded slightly, expressing their agreement with Tang Jiang's statement.

Seriously, I agree with Tang Jiang's statement, if such dozens of lives are lost here, it is not a question of how to explain it, but a great crime! But I was aroused to be stubborn, Lao Tzu will never let this unknown ghost be frightened, so he gave up what he promised to others, and ran away with his tail between his legs!

Lao Tzu is going to bury Emperor Jianwen in the ancestral tomb of Yuanbao Village, so as to live up to Mr. Kobayashi's trust to me before he died! How can I speak to a dead man without being a word? What's more, I also took over other people's companies and took so much benefit from others, can I still repay the debt?

Absolutely not!

Also, I'd love to see what that legendary snow monster is. It's impossible that you haven't even seen the true face of the person, so you are so frightened that you run away with your tail between your legs, right?

But I must not let any more accidents happen to the workers.

After thinking about it, I said solemnly: "I will not give up on this matter, it is not my style to retreat at this time......

Tang Jiang said: "But we ......"

I waved my hand and interrupted Tang Jiang's words and said, "But I don't plan to involve the workers anymore, I'm going to do it alone." ”

"Alone?!" Zhu'er, Tang Jiang, and the brothers of the six Dao Brother Guards said in unison.

I said solemnly, "Yes, I'm alone, and you don't have to go." Didn't you go and choose all the addresses yesterday? You are all waiting here, I will dig the burrow, bury it, bury the earth, and then set off two strings of firecrackers. Since things have come to this point, it can only be simpler, and Mr. Kobayashi and Emperor Jianwen will not be surprised. ”

Speaking of this, I smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "Are you worried that I won't be able to transport the crystal coffin?" Rest assured, I have this thing......"

As I spoke, I patted the Qiankun bag pinned to the belt around my waist and continued: "I have the Qiankun bag, so I can use it to load the crystal coffin and bring it over, so that's fine." ”

Zhu'er took my hand, looked into my eyes, and said firmly, "Master, Zhu'er will go with you." ”

Tang Jiang said: "Since I follow the lord, I can't just enjoy happiness, I always have to do something, and I will go with you." ”

"We'll go too!" The brothers of the six Sword Brother Guards said in unison.
