Chapter 18: The Heart

exchanged glances, I originally wanted to say that the village chief and Qiangzi opened the way, and Han Chang and Yu Qian walked in the middle. Where this kind of yin qi prevails, it is useless to fight, so Yu Qian is just a weak woman here.

And Zhao Zhifeng and I pushed back and defended the rear.

However, I hinted with my eyes for a long time, but the village chief and Qiangzi were stunned that they did not take half a step. It was Zhao Zhifeng, who walked to the front by himself, and took Han Chang with him, extremely excited. This is not a pro-teammate, this tacit understanding is still lacking.

I was speechless, so I had to pull Yu Qian to follow, and then pulled Han Chang from in front of Zhao Zhifeng to behind me, and asked her to walk with Yu Qian.

As soon as I pulled like this, Han Chang and Zhao Zhifeng immediately understood my thoughts. And after I glanced at the black cat on my shoulder, I pulled Zhao Zhifeng back again, and simply stood in front of me.

The four of us kept changing positions, and the village chief and Qiangzi in the back hung behind Han Chang as if they didn't see it, with peace of mind.

The trail is winding and not a straight path, and there are seven or eight turns on one side of the mountain alone. Although these bends are made to avoid some tall protruding rocks, there are places where there is no need to turn at all. In some places, this is a sign of respect for a certain faith, and when people contribute to their faith, they also go with reverence and hard work.

I feel that after walking halfway, I found that the rest of the road is actually more tortuous than the one I walked. The first half has already made us breathless, and the remaining half will have to go on again, I'm afraid that when we reach our destination, we will already be tired and lie down without the ghost soldiers coming forward.

So, I left the road behind and stepped into the area outside the road, intending to climb straight up and traverse the twists and turns.

My choice may have been too sudden, and several people behind me were stunned. However, Yu Qian, Zhao Zhifeng and Han Chang followed without thinking too much. However, the village chief and Qiangzi did not immediately follow, but stood there and hesitated for a while.

After that, they turned around and continued to go around the path.

The four of us were stunned when we found out, and we couldn't figure out why these two people who were in a hurry to save people were confused at this time, and they actually gave up the fast way to follow the old routine of the past.

Leave them alone, it's their freedom. However, as we crossed the first corner, we suddenly noticed that the air felt much colder. This doesn't need to be poured in from the collar anymore, just standing here is cold through the bones.

Looking left and right, there were no Yin soldiers in this area. Yu Qian leaned over at this time and asked softly in my ear, "Do you feel that there is a big difference in both the cold and the feeling after arriving here?" ”

I nodded slightly, it was much colder, this was not to be felt at all, as soon as I stepped on it, it was cold to the bone. As for the feeling, it does give people a very eerie and weird feeling. It's like something is stuck in my heart, and it's very uncomfortable.

"Hey, Lao Chen, what do you think that's that?" While I was talking to Yu Qian, Zhao Zhifeng suddenly pointed in a direction and asked urgently.

Yu Qianleng and I turned our heads to look over, and at that moment, our heartbeat suddenly intensified. Directly in front of us, on that road, a group of ghost soldiers actually messed up the rules in the middle of the road, and the previous ghost soldier turned around and inserted his hands into the chest of the latter ghost soldier.

The ghost soldiers were just illusory projections, but these two ghost soldiers were just like real ones. The ghost soldier who did it actually used both hands to prop open the chest of the next ghost soldier, and took out a bright red heart from his chest that we watched from a distance and was still beating.

Illusory Ghost Soldiers...... Do you have a heart too?

I also seemed to see the heat in my heart, and I was scared to see it.

"Let's ......" In the next second, a sound that almost collapsed came straight to my ears, my hair stood on end, my muscles stiffened, and I couldn't help but turn around and run away.

The ghost soldier who took out the heart of his companion actually lifted off his turban and took a bite on the heart that was still beating faintly. Streams of blood shot out of his heart, and made that terrible sound that broke my heart.

"Chen Fei......" Yu Qian's face turned pale, although it was useless to deal with ghost soldiers, she still couldn't help but grab the string tiger lock in her hand.

Looking at Han Chang again, she was half-hiding behind Zhao Zhifeng, holding Zhao Zhifeng with one hand, showing her daughter's image. But in the other hand, he grabbed a kettle, and without thinking, this kettle must be yellow spring water.

"Don't be afraid, that's just a ...... Well? "I wanted to comfort Yu Qian and say that it was just a projection, but before I finished speaking, the ghost soldier who ate the heart suddenly raised his hand and threw the heart out of his hand, and the direction was on our side.

I don't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but this throw happened right at my feet, and I was so frightened that I bounced backwards.

"This ...... This is...... It's true! I gasped when I stepped back and looked at the heart that had stopped moving after a few laps.

Although the heart was no longer moving, the slight heat did not disappear, and this trace of heat was especially obvious in this environment with strong yin energy. Even, at present, I smell a bloody smell of blood, the fishy smell of organs, just like the smell that leaks when the abdominal cavity is broken when a pig is slaughtered and a cow is slaughtered.

"Wow......" Han Chang turned his head sideways and vomited, and Zhao Zhifeng's face was not much better. I was also in my belly, but not for this bloody, terrible scene, but for this sudden accident, and the unbelievable sudden appearance of the real heart.

Yu Qian didn't change much, but her face was not very good, and the sudden appearance of a heart also challenged her cognition.

"Let's take a look!" I pointed to the fallen ghost soldier in front of me and said.

The ghost soldier whose heart was gouged out has fallen, and the ghost soldier who did it has followed the other ghost soldiers and has continued on the road. The strange thing is that this group of ghost soldiers is actually walking along the path. There was a team, and it was also the only first team of ghost soldiers we saw after we went up to the second half of the journey.

"We ...... Let's take a detour. Han Chang wiped his mouth and looked embarrassed.

"You two stay here, Yu Qian and I will go and have a look." I knew that Han Chang's endurance was at the limit, so I didn't force her.

Han Chang glanced at me gratefully, then nodded. Yu Qian naturally walked to my side and followed me forward.

Actually, it's not far, just on the second bend in front of us. Within the visual range ahead, there are only five or six such winding curves. As for the position a little higher, the line of sight is too poor to see clearly, but it is estimated that there will not be too many curves.

We traversed two curves, and the road we took was half the length of a straight line on half of the curve, so we walked lightly and happily.

Chen Fei ...... This isn't a ghost soldier! Before approaching the ghost soldier who fell to the ground, Yu Qian suddenly screamed. With the help of starlight, I was in this range, and I could see clearly, the one who fell to the ground, with his eyes open, and did not blink to death, turned out to be an ordinary person in a blue coarse cloth shirt, a real person!

"Killed with one blow, and died tragically by having his heart gouged out!" Finally walked to the side of the dead body, Yu Qian said after looking at the bloody and disemboweled, disemboweled.

There was only one wound on the corpse's body, straight at the heart, and no internal organs in the abdominal cavity were leaking out. At this time, the residual blood on the wound was still dripping. If you have never experienced it, seeing such a tragic scene, I am afraid that you will not be comfortable for four days and a half months.

"Who is he? It doesn't seem to be Lao Liu. "Although the corpse was male, it was also forty or fifty years old. is about the same figure as Lao Liu, and even has some similarity on face, but he is indeed not Lao Liu.

"Didn't the village chief say that there will always be some accidents in the case of a big outbreak of Yin soldiers every few years? There are two or three villages nearby, and it must not be the village chief who has an accident, but there must also be Yin soldiers in other villages. This person may be from another nearby village. Yu Qian said this, and then her face became difficult to look at.

"If this person can appear here, it is the same as Lao Liu, who was hooked by the Yin soldiers. But he was killed here, and that old Liu ......"

"Fierce and auspicious!" I was silent, we might have arrived too late.

"What then?" Yu Qian asked.

I looked at her and said, "If we're really dead, then there's nothing we can do." When you see the village chief and Qiangzi, you will persuade them to leave here. But the temple, we need to visit, I'm getting more and more interested in it. ”

"A ghost soldier can kill a living person with an illusory body, this kind of thing is unheard of and unseen......"

"I'll go with you!" Yu Qian stood up without hesitation, looked at me and said.

"Of course you'll have to go with me, and so will the two down there. We are ghosts touching the mountain, entering and exiting together, all of which are indispensable. I smiled, turned around, and said.

But the moment I turned around, I suddenly felt a dizziness in my head, and my consciousness was instantly pulled by a kind of tug, and I was lost in an instant.

"Meow!" Just as I was on the verge of losing myself, a cat meow suddenly appeared in the depths of my mind. At this moment, I felt my whole soul tremble, an indescribable sense of comfort suddenly burst out from the depths, and my consciousness was suddenly freed from the grip and regained freedom.

The feeling of drowsiness disappeared all at once.

It was like being reborn, and I suddenly felt at ease, infinite comfort, and infinite emotion. The feeling just now was definitely a sense of imminence at the time of death, and I clearly watched my consciousness being pulled and disappearing.

With gratitude, and infinite doting, I reached out and touched the little black cat that was already enjoying the squinting eyes and squatting on my shoulder. If it weren't for its cry, I'm afraid I'd have gone to hell.

Chen Fei ...... What happened to you? Yu Qian's voice came from my side, and when I looked sideways, her face was pale, and infinite worry and fear were all written on her face. It can be seen that in a moment just now, she was very frightened by me, and she definitely revealed her true feelings.
