277: Back on the right path

She shook her head.

The village in front of them was so quiet that there was not even the sound of chickens and dogs, like the deserted village they had been to in the first place.

"There's always something to smell about, right?" Lu Donglai asked again.

Nanzhao closed his eyes, took a quiet breath, and listened carefully to the movements around him.

"There's a familiar smell in the air......"

The little Taoist priest also smelled it, and said in unison: "It's blood!" ”

They all had a bad premonition, and in order to find out, they soon quietly entered the village, which was not large, about a dozen households, and it could be seen from the clothes hanging next to the village house, and the dried vegetables that had not been collected into the house, that there were living people living here not long ago.

Lu Donglai held a torch, stopped behind a gatehouse, and then squatted down and put something on the ground with his hand and put it in front of his nose and sniffed.

"It's true that Guqi has been here, and I'm afraid that the villagers here have all suffered accidents!"

The ground was covered with the black slime from the bones, and they were all too familiar with the smell.

"The bone squeak will eat people, and the skin of the person is left to disguise itself, and the high-level bone squeak can also transform the dead into the same kind, if the bone squeak from here has a high-level one, then the villagers of the entire village are likely to have become bone squeaks!"

Lu Donglai handed the torch to Nan Zhao, took out a simple map drawn in cloth from his clothes, pointed it to her and said: "We are here, thirty miles away from Yunzhou City, and only ten miles away from the Yunzhou military camp, we set off at this moment, and we should be able to reach the Yunzhou military camp before dawn!" ”

She doubted: "After I was conspired by Haina and Princess Mingyue to calculate the failure flower, now the Zhengdao camp is under the control of Haina, and besides, the ninth brother has announced to the world that I am dead, and if I appear again, no one will recognize me!" ”

The other party shook his head and said: "No, if you think about it, you were also convincing during the period when you were the commander, so even if it is Haina who is in charge of the righteous commander's order now, someone must believe you!" ”

Being reminded by him like this, Nan Zhao also had some confidence, and said, "My senior uncle Qingyangzi...... Xu is extremely convinced of me in the camp, as well as Bai Mei and Master Xuanci, we have killed the snake tail monster together, born and died, I know that they are all people who are on the right path and share the common people! ”

Warlocks who do not have their own selfish desires will be their friends wherever they are.

At dawn, a glimmer of light floated on the edge of the mountains.

The road is a country road, not easy to walk, almost two miles away, Nan Zhao only felt that the wound hurt, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Is it okay?" Lu Dong came to see her, his face was pale, and he was faintly worried.

Nan Zhao shook his head and insisted on answering: "I'm fine, but I lost too much at once, and I'm not used to this crippled body without the blessing of the spirit flower......"

Her eyes were a little dim, and she also believed that diligence could make up for her shortcomings, but she knew that no matter how strong and hard she was now, she couldn't make herself stronger and stronger.

Without the spirit flower, she has no spirituality like an ordinary little Dao girl, even if she cultivates for decades, she may not be able to reach any realm, not even one-tenth of the warlocks who were defeated under her in the past.

Keep walking, there's no other way but to move forward.

In an extremely hidden place outside the barracks, Nan Zhao stopped and discussed with him: "There must be people with unscrupulous intentions in the righteous path camp, and they should be inseparable from Wen Zhao, if we appear rashly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to act, I know that the search department will send people to inspect near the gate of life and death every half hour, if you are lucky, you may be able to meet Uncle Shi and come out in person." ”

When Lu Donglai heard this, he touched the simple hexagram on his body and hung it up, and then said, "We are lucky today!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as the day dawned, I saw two warlocks wearing Taoist robes patrolling along the dirt road from the direction of the barracks, among which the old man who walked in front and held gossip was Nanzhao's uncle Qingyangzi.

"Let's go!" Lu Donglai proposed.

They all put on their hats and stood on the path that the two of them had to pass.

Qingyangzi as the head of the search department, every day the first search is he personally go, today is different from the usual is that last night in the camp there was a good observation of the heavenly phenomena of the warlock said that the sky is different, I am afraid that the two days will be a disaster coming, so they are even more awake.

It was just dawn on this day, and suddenly I saw two people wearing hats standing in the middle of the road in front of them, not like the nearby villagers, because the villagers in the vicinity fled without dying, so the expressions of the two changed.

The Dao Leader who was with Qingyangzi was the other Master of the Eight Great Views, and when he saw the two of them, his expression changed dramatically and said, "How did you meet two ghosts in the way this morning?" ”

Qingyangzi frowned, looked over there and shook his head: "Poor Dao didn't see the ghost qi on them, I'm afraid it's human!" ”

"People?" Changwu was even more uneasy and said: "This day is not dawn to wear a hat, there are people and ghosts, it must be no good, don't come out of the dead door again, the two of us can't deal with these things, it's better to go back and report the news!" ”

Qingyangzi was a little hesitant and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Nan Zhao had been waiting in the distance for a while, and when he realized that they might not come out of nowhere, he directly took off the hat from his head.

Qingyangzi saw that the person in the distance moved, and after taking off the hat, although he couldn't see his face clearly, his body was thin and upright, and he looked a little like him Nanzhao.

But not long ago, Nan Zhao had died of his injuries when he surrendered to the Thousand-Faced Demon, and for this reason, he also set up a magic altar for Nan Zhao.

"No, you have to go over and look carefully, you can wait for me here!" Qingyangzi decided, so he walked forward, and when he got closer, the man's face became clearer and clearer, and his heart became more and more excited.

However, he still stopped at a certain distance and asked, "Where did the monster come from, turning into the appearance of the deceased master and nephew of the poor road to confuse the poor road?" ”

Nan Zhao had mixed feelings in his heart, since he didn't dare to step forward, then let her take this step, she walked forward and said: "Uncle Shi, I am not a demon, I am indeed here, I am not a ghost, I am a big living person!" ”

After speaking, she pointed to the faint shadow at her feet to show the other party.

Qingyangzi knew the cunning of these monsters, how could he believe it because of such a sentence, he asked, "How can you prove it?" ”

Nan Zhao thought for a while and said, "Ten years ago, a camellia raised by my uncle was broken, and Ah Zhao quietly picked it one night!" ”

At that time, she was always not bullied by her brother, Qingyangzi, the uncle, not only did not stop it, but also treated her harshly, she was a child's heart after all, and wanted to find a place to vent, so she poisoned the uncle's favorite camellia, this matter has been ten years, even Qingyangzi is almost forgotten, suddenly mentioned, thinking that it is right, his expression changed, and he said excitedly: "Ah Zhao, is it really Ah Zhao?" You're not dead? ”

The two were already close at hand, and Nan Zhao whispered to him: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, Nan Zhao was framed, and now it's not what it used to be, and I came back this time to hope that Uncle Shi can help Nan Zhao!" ”

Qingyangzi is not stupid, the battle in the righteous path camp has not been a day or two, and he immediately guessed a few points, most of them are inseparable from the Haina mage who is now in charge of the righteous path camp, but in fact, after Nan Zhao's death, these warlocks who were once Nan Zhao's henchmen are not allowed to be reused, and they are also excluded.

The two talked for a while and discussed something, and Nan Zhao put on the hat again and separated.

At noon, Nan Zhao and Lu Donglai had changed into a Taoist robe, and with the help of Qingyangzi, they returned to the Zhengdao camp, in order not to attract the attention of others, they temporarily stayed in the camp where Qingyangzi lived.

"Knock knock—" The drum of the righteous camp sounded rapidly, which proved that something bad had happened, and the other warlocks around immediately rushed to the commander's camp.

Lu Donglai was lying on his side on the military couch, and when he heard the sound of drums, he immediately jumped down and said to Nan Zhao on the side: "Calculate the time, it's almost over, let's go, go and see!" ”
