Chapter 478: Buried in the Sand Ancient City (16)

It just so happened that Zhu Beichen's attention was attracted by the origin of the Seven Rooms, especially the mysterious Yin Fu Inheritor he mentioned, because Zhu Beichen learned from Han Qingxin that the Yin Fu has always been a single lineage, and there will never be more than two surviving Yin Fu Sect people.

Just as Zhu Beichen was looking at the dying Qijian in surprise, expecting him to continue, clear footsteps sounded behind the house.

Could it be that the man with the scythe went and returned?

The footsteps were unusually hurried, and the sound was directed towards the room, and when he came to the door, he looked around left and right as if he was worried about being discovered.

Judging that he would push the door in, Zhu Beichen picked up Qijian and hid in a hidden corner of the room, covering the bodies of the two with curtains.

Sure enough, the man confirmed that there was no one nearby, so he decisively pushed the door and dodged in, and then softly closed the door, and walked straight in the direction where the child was curled up in the corner.

Call! It doesn't seem to be coming for us. Zhu Beichen nervously dragged the crumbling seven rooms through the cracks in the curtain to observe the man's behavior.

The man and the critically ill child appear to be a father and son, and the man's behavior seems to be very cautious and nervous, for fear that others will find out about the sick child.

According to the analysis, the general situation is also clear, in ancient times, because it was a contagious disease, limited by medical means, most of the infected people would be isolated, left to fend for themselves, and even more would incinerate the infected to block the source of the disease.

"Who?"

The wind blew through the curtain and rolled up to Zhu Beichen's face, and the alert man suddenly spotted the figures of the two hiding behind the curtain.

Look at each other! Zhu Beichen was surprised to find that the man's eyes were the same as those of the child, and it turned out that the two were also infected with the disease.

Outside the house, the number of torches increased, and the soldiers of the brigade gathered around the house.

The situation left the four people in the room motionless, all of them hiding from the pursuit of the people outside.

The man made a boo gesture beforehand, suggesting that the two of them should not make a sound.

The crowd walked back and forth outside the house, and from time to time the door of the next room was pushed open, and they searched room after room.

If this continues, sooner or later they will break into here. Now the four of them can only resign themselves to fate.

After searching to no avail, the soldiers searched side by side and finally came to the door of this house, the carved part of the door of the house was hollowed out with silk paste to make window paper, and the sharp scythe blade shadow was transmitted on the aya, always touching the hearts of the four people in the house.

Zhu Beichen's heart was already impatient to the extreme, these people were forced too hard, and they had no grudges or grudges.

He pressed the gun in his hand, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the door of the house, and dodged to block Shichiken's body.

Be prepared to break the net as soon as that group of people comes in. The advantage of guns against cold weapons is obvious, and he is worried that this gun can solve several people, and after the bullets are empty, he will have to face fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Qijian weakly raised his hand to suppress Zhu Beichen's gun, and told Zhu Beichen to calm down with his eyes.

Squeak! The old-fashioned wooden door was violently pushed open by them, and then a wave of people poured in from the door.

As soon as the child's father saw that the situation was not good, he picked up an iron hard object on the ground and rushed up to fight with them, and he was still babbling strange language that Zhu Beichen and Qijian couldn't hear.

For a while, they were all attracted by this reckless man's behavior, and they didn't notice the figure of the two behind the curtain at all.

After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and within a few rounds, people reacted, skillfully using the knife in their hands, and the child's father fell in a pool of blood after a few rounds.

The children huddled in a conspicuous corner, holding their scythes and weapons like a group of demons slaughtering innocents, step by step towards the poor child.

Do you want to save him? Zhu Beichen was entangled in his heart, he really couldn't bear to watch a seriously ill child fall under the ruthless knife of this group of butchers. But what can you do, rush out and take down a few people, and then usher in the siege of countless people?

"Found an infected one."

"Execute on the spot, this kid can't stay."

The projection on the curtain reflected the movement in the room, and a tall man commanded his subordinates.

It was not the first time they had done such a thing, and they had not the slightest mercy, and the scythe weapon was raised above their heads, completely ignoring the child's cold and desperate gaze.

After hesitating, he had missed the best opportunity, and the knife fell, and there was a muffled wail in the corner, and the child was completely out of breath.

Behind the curtain, Zhu Beichen shook his hands, and couldn't help but rush out and slaughter this group of beasts, if he hadn't been held down by Qijian.

The leader with a grim face would not turn around, and after his eyes noticed the curtain slightly blown by the wind, he frowned suspiciously, and then waved his finger over.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

One after another, the rooster crowed one after another, and the cold leader waved his hand to stop the movements of his subordinates, and resolutely led his subordinates to hurriedly step out of the door railing, and disappeared without a trace in a short time.

The sudden situation surprised Zhu Beichen, he didn't know what happened at all, just a few rooster crows could scare this group away?

"Ghosts, afraid of the dawn?"

When he said this, Zhu Beichen was also surprised, will there be dawn here?

It took a long time for Zhu Beichen to settle down and stand up, separate the curtains, and walk to the corner where the child was hiding.

There was half-dried blood on the ground, and the child's cold body was no longer breathing.

Shichima leaned against the wall and sighed meaningfully, and said in dismay: "You can't blame them, you should see that this child is infected with a very contagious disease, and the best way to deal with an impossible disease in ancient times was to slaughter." ”

Qijian looked at Zhu Beichen's dejected appearance, knowing that it was difficult for him to accept this way of dealing with infectious patients for a while, so he had to change the topic and said: "You take a look at the situation outside, they should be far away, I think it's strange, there will still be roosters here." ”

In fact, the strange thing about the seven rooms is whether the night is coming to an end, and how long the transformation of the day and night in the four-dimensional space is.

It was still dark outside, and there was a slight light in the place where the distant city and the sky were connected, like a human eye about to be opened, blooming with the glimmer of the morning light.

Walking back into the house, there were two dead bodies in the corner of the wall silently, Zhu Beichen was used to the existence of this kind of thing around him, and sat next to the wall next to Qijian to probe his pulse.

The frequency of the pulse is slow, and there is almost no sign of a beating at all.

Nanama explained that this was due to the fact that July's acupuncture method suppressed the blood flow rate, and that he deliberately adjusted his breathing pattern to achieve such an effect. Over time, the suppression of corpse poison in this way will be ineffective.

The topic returned to the identity of Qijian, for fear that Zhu Beichen would not believe him, so he took out a bronze mirror from his backpack.

The appearance and style are familiar to Zhu Beichen, it is the bronze magic weapon used by Qijian when he rescued them in the Heishui River, and the mirror was broken later, and he still retains this broken mirror.

In the center of the back of the mirror is engraved a line of Hanli boys, because the font is too small, Zhu Beichen has seen this mirror several times and has not paid attention to the boy on the mirror.

"Yin Talisman!" The kid in the center of the mirror is exactly these two words.

"Actually, I was an orphan, and when I was helpless on the street 20 years ago, a passing old man adopted me. At first I didn't know what he did, but we lived in a dilapidated temple and the old man often went out early. ”

The picture of more than 20 years ago was circling in Qijian's mind, and the old man who adopted him was always dressed as poor. He didn't know the old man's surname and place of origin, and everything about the old man was blank.

Later, I gradually got along and saved, and often found that the old man would go out at night, and the next morning when he returned to the broken temple would bring him a day's food, and now this broken ancient mirror is the magic weapon that the old man must bring when he goes out.

"You should have guessed that the old man is the heir of the modern Yin Fu Sutra. Peeping into the way of heaven and judging numerology, doing some things that are contrary to the harmony of heaven, three disadvantages and five deficiencies are calamities that people like us can't escape. I have nothing in my life, and I have nothing to worry about, so I chose to learn from the elderly, at least no matter how poor I am, I can always have a bite to eat. Shichima's facial expression was extremely calm when he said this, and he did not regret his decision at the beginning.

Zhu Beichen nodded, and the same similar encounter invisibly narrowed the distance between the two a few points. He understands how important it is to survive in such a poor life. Immediately, he thought of something again, and asked directly: "Yin Fu Descendants have always been single-handed. ”

He didn't mean to question the identity of Shichima, and blurted out with a little embarrassment.

The faint white light at the door had already shone on the doorway outside, and the rooster crow had gradually stopped.

"Yes, it's a single pass. The old rules of Yin Fu are not allowed to marry and have children, but unfortunately when I was in my twenties, I met someone I liked. "The old man no longer recognized the identity of the heir of the Seven Rooms, although this disciple was extremely talented and qualified. The rigid rules still made the old man give up the seven rooms and choose someone else to inherit the mantle.

It turns out that this is the case, and it seems that the successor chosen by the old man later should be the obscene Taoist who "entered the Ding". Zhu Beichen smiled in his heart, does this count as having the status of master and apprentice with "Entering the Determination", but he and this master can't fight each other, and they will intersect in a few days. And if you have to admit such a master, you always feel that you should panic.

No matter who you are, whether you are here or not, you can't escape such an extreme numerology fortune.

The so-called five evils are nothing more than "widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability." To put it bluntly, the three deficiencies are "money, life, and power".

"Why do people have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, because those who learn the Tao spy on the heavens. The operation of this world has its own laws and laws, and if you spy on the heavens to change the rules of the operation of things, you will be punished by heaven and suffer from unjustified disasters. "Once some numerology is predestined, it is predicted and avoided by the Taoist method, but in fact, the cause and effect are only disturbed, and the cause and effect will attack more violently.
