Ziwei hummed, and after approaching, we found a place to hide, and by the moonlight, we could see the wide ravine in the distance, the light was too dim, and we couldn't see what was lying in front of us.

"I'll go over and explore the way first." Zi did not say.

I shook my head, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over, the stone fell into the grass, without the slightest reaction, and replaced it with a larger and more volumetric one, the moment the stone landed, it really caused a movement, and the short arrows shot out of nowhere were shot in unison, and if there was a person standing there, the position where he was shot should be his inner shoulders and lower abdomen.

I picked up the second stone and threw it over, different from the nature of the thousand ice ropes on the opposite side, which could only be used once, in the same position, the same short arrow shot out again and nailed to the ground.

I tried several times, and in different places, without exception, all of them had hidden weapons, and I couldn't tell the direction. Their defensive net is densely weaved, and we should be glad that we didn't cross that ravine and come directly to this side at that time, otherwise we wouldn't even know how we died under the attack from both sides of the strait.

"It seems that we can't hide by dodging, and we can only break through if we want to go over." I said to Ziwei: "I'll go first in a while, you follow behind me, remember to follow closely and protect each other's backs." ”

Zi didn't hesitate and nodded, but when he really got up and walked over there, he grabbed my arm and walked in front of me.

"Ziwei."

He didn't say anything, but walked forward first, and I had to follow, and as soon as I got close to the edge, a short arrow appeared as soon as I took a step. We were all on guard, following each other's movements, while hiding in the same direction, at the moment of standing, I used the tart whip to block a few, the sound of metal clashing was crisp, and the short arrow behind me also hit the dagger in Ziwei's hand and fell to the ground.

We stopped in two steps, protecting each other step by step, and just as we were about to reach the ravine, I noticed something strange around me, and said carefully, before the words fell, a figure rushed from the other side.

The speed of the other party was very fast, and I didn't see anything clearly in the middle of the night, so the quilt didn't pull back, helping me block a blow, and the two of them were forced to retreat while touching more mechanisms.

I tried my best to stop more short arrows and steel needles for Ziwei, and after seeing the two of them exchange a few moves with each other, Ziwei's movements suddenly stopped, and the next second he was knocked back to the edge of the ravine, his body staggered, and he almost fell, and was caught by the man in the void, and was thrown in my direction.

I was confused in my mind, the distance was too close, I didn't choose to hide, I reached out to help him, and the two of them fell to the ground together, and the short arrow that was triggered looked like it was right in front of me, and it was about to pierce the center of the eyebrows a second later, but it stopped at a dangerous distance, and after hanging in the air for a second, it changed direction in the air, and stabbed into the grass with my ears.

The two of us were in the same situation, both mud bodhisattvas crossed the river, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, an unsheathed sword stopped in front of us.

I raised my head and saw Situ Yao standing in front of us, frowned, and asked, "It's so late, what are you two doing here?" ”

I finished talking for a while, the sword in Situ Yao's hand was slightly off the sheath, a little cold light revealed in the moonlight, and his brows tightened, "Who are you?" ”

"Say!" He brought his scabbard closer to us, his eyes cold, and he looked like he could cut us down here at any moment.

"We just wanted to find out what was going on and give ourselves a little bit of confidence to fight them."

"Inquire about them, or about us?" Situ Yao became suspicious and said, "You don't have any ghosts in your hearts, why don't you come during the day, but choose this time?" ”

My heart hung in the air, and my mind turned for I don't know how many times before I looked at him, and said half-truthfully: "Because I want to avoid you." You know in your heart that we don't have any reason to trust you right now. ”

Situ Yao was speechless, his brows tightened, and I took the opportunity to say again: "Whether it is the puppet control technique, or those puppets, this is the secret technique of your Situ family, and it is your housekeeping ability, we have experienced so many things from Dongyan Town to come here, in order to find an answer, before you can give us a clear explanation, a demon path alone can't dispel our doubts, and how do we know that this is not a play you play to achieve your goals?" ”

I said, "If you doubt us, we will not be able to prove ourselves, and this is a good thing for us, at least it adds a truth to what you are saying." ”

The cold light in front of him disappeared, the sword body was sheathed, Situ Yao took the sword back, Ziwei and I still didn't dare to move, seeing that he was shaken, he continued: "You can't fight alone, no one doesn't want a partner, it's just that human life is at stake, we don't dare, and we can't easily trust others." ”

"Sneaking is a villain's act." Situ Yao said: "The Dongchuan border is full of organs, and there are hidden weapons everywhere, and your suspicion will only provoke unnecessary sacrifices." ”

The two of us had a hard time riding a tiger, Situ Yao stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and his five fingers were separated and quickly closed and closed, as if he was holding something and pulling it down, and said to us, "You can get up." ”

Zi and I didn't try to move, and sure enough, when we saw that no more short arrows were fired, we stood up in embarrassment, completely in a state of embarrassment.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." I said to him.

Situ Yao hugged his sword and said: "Let me remind you one last time, in Dongchuan, you don't have so much freedom, if you want to find out anything, you can only go through the Situ family, and the matter involving that evil way must be approved by my eldest brother, if there is the same thing next time, no one can protect you." ”

"I see."

"Master." The son didn't say anything, and gestured to me to silence me.

I listened with bated breath as there was a strange sound of music from Puxian Village across the ravine, accompanied by the laughter of children, and the sound grew louder, and I could vaguely hear that a certain song was being read again, but the words came here, like a broken old tape, and became indistinct, and I didn't know what was being said.

Situ Yao's gaze was on the darkness opposite, and I tried to get close to the ravine and asked him, "Is there such a sound every day?" ”

"In the beginning, it was more serious than that." He said: "At that time, I could hear the shrill cries of children in Dongchuan every night, and we sent some people, but all of them went and never returned. ”

"Do you know what the ballads of those puppets mean?"

"I don't know." Situ Yao said: "Although we are of the same origin, but the two sides use two completely different forces, good and evil are contrary to each other, these two breaths will collide and interfere with each other, we are standing in Dongchuan, we can only hear such vague syllables as now." ”

I asked, "Have you never left Dongchuan?" ”

Situ Yao didn't answer, and after a long time, he gently spit out a sentence: "The people of Dongchuan are still being forced here, how can I go?" ”

He blinked his eyes and asked, "You came from Puxian, have you heard those songs?" ”

I nodded, not knowing how to describe it, and said, "It's just that I don't quite understand the meaning, like some kind of narrative, and at one point, it was a prophecy." ”

Ziwei recounted to him the last time we heard the ballad, Situ Yao's face was grim, and his hand holding the sword was clenched tightly, so jealous and evil, it was not like he was pretending, but he did not answer our doubts.

I recalled the ballad and added to him: "There is another song that we have heard repeatedly, judging from the effect, it seems to be able to cause those who have been bitten by zombies to change quickly, and the last sentence in it is 'Ah Cang Hanging Beam is gone, the doll quickly opens its eyes', the second young master can know ......"

"Ah Cang?"

Before I could say anything, Situ Yao's face changed, his teeth clenched, and two words were squeezed out of his throat, with obvious hatred in addition to the different colors that seemed to be undeserved.

I nodded and asked him guessingly: "Ah Cang, is it from Dongchuan?" ”

Situ Yao obviously didn't want to have too much response to this question, and said to me, "It's just a servant who has been in Situ's house for a few years. ”

If he was just an ordinary servant, why would he look like this?

I didn't say anything, under the pretext that I wanted to see the wounds of the corpses under the ravine, so that I could have a deeper understanding of the weapons of the evil way and find a way to crack them.

Situ Yao didn't speak, and when I saw that he acquiesced, I went with Ziwei and threw some bricks, tiles, branches and other objects around him near the place where Jiang Xun fell, took out a net we had prepared in advance, unfolded it, and slowly poked it down from the place where it had been cleaned.

Ziwei lay on the edge of the ravine, I helped him turn on the flashlight, spread a dark bag aside, watched him remove the top few stones with strange patterns, scoop a handful from below, and pour it onto the bag.

I was disappointed after just one look, the corpse was too small, the same skin and bones, eroded by the cold and covered with a layer of frost, I couldn't tell who was who, even if I could catch the breath of the original owner to match, looking like this, it was unlikely that I could completely put together an arm.

I'm close to giving up in my heart, but because of Situ Yu's presence, I can only finish the show.

Ziwei fished it a few times until it couldn't fit in the bag, put it away, and said a word to go back and study.

Ziwei's net was placed on the ground, I felt a slight vibration, and the next second it slipped down, and when Ziwei reached out to grab it, a hairy stiff suddenly rushed out of the forest on the opposite bank, and acted fiercely, and suddenly crossed the ravine and opened its mouth to him.

I hurriedly used the tart whip to resist, but he grabbed the whip and stuck him in front of the ravine, and as soon as the stiff hanging leg touched the underneath, it was cut off by the uncleaned Qianbing rope, leaving only half of the waist hanging in front of me, scattered with several pieces of minced meat.

A dagger and a long sword pierced from different positions together, piercing his cerebellum at the same time, the corpse qi dissipated, the stiff mouth was still open, and the corpse fluid flowed out of it, I felt nauseous, and threw him away and fell into the ravine, watching his body turn into several corpse pieces under the remaining thousand ice ropes.
