Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Walking Corpse Talisman
Zhou Liwen stood up tremblingly, and waved his hand with a solemn face: "It's all gone!"
Dozens of sturdy villagers immediately stepped forward to disperse the travelers, while others worked together to push the oxen and carriage away.
"Hey, you guys... Several travelers were pushed and pushed back by the villagers, and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.
"Hmph!" Zhou Liwen snorted lightly, and several people suddenly stiffened as if they had been struck by lightning, and mechanically retreated.
"Brother Xuan, what should we do?" Ji Ling walked quickly to Xuanyi's side and asked in a low voice.
Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Don't make more trouble, gather your brothers, and continue to hurry." ”
"Okay!" Ji Ling nodded in response, and reflexively went back to gather the other gangs.
After a while, dozens of knights galloped out of Wanni Village on horseback, Xuanyi looked back at this small village that was peaceful and quiet on the surface, always feeling a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know where this feeling came from.
Xuanyi shook his head, as if he wanted to throw these troublesome thoughts out of his mind, there was still a central province between this place and Jinhai Province, tens of thousands of miles away, and the bumpy journey had just begun.
In the next dozens of days, Xuanyi and others worked hard during the day, and found a village to spend the night in the village.
"Whew! I'm finally home!" Ji Ling stuck out his tongue, and the dust on his body couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"In front of us is the Jinhai Boundary Monument, and we are about to step into our territory!" Xuanyi heard the gang excitedly pointing to the front and said, and a trace of joy inevitably surged in his heart, and the fatigue of running around for days seemed to be swept away at this time.
"Let's go, go home!" the whip made a crisp sound, and the strange cries of excitement swept the horses through the surprised eyes of passers-by, stirring up dust in the sky.
Crossing the mottled provincial boundary monument, Xuanyi stopped in front of the towering city wall, looked at the familiar word "Beihe" on the city gate, and for a while his thoughts flew into deep memories. Ji Ling and the others didn't know why, and they didn't dare to interrupt Xuanyi's thoughts rashly, so they had to rein in the horse and carefully protect him.
"North River City. After a long time, Xuanyi came back to his senses, he took a long breath, and there was a clear flash of crystal in the corner of his eye.
After entering the city, Xuanyi found an inn, and he refused the proposal of Ji Ling and others to accompany him and left alone.
In a dilapidated ox cart outside the city, Xuanyi was half-lying on clean firewood and grass, his body rising and falling along the potholed road.
The old man driving the car glanced back at Xuanyi and said, "Childe is from Yunlan Town?"
"Sort of. Xuanyi gave an ambiguous answer and closed his eyes, and the old man stopped chatting when he saw this.
The ox cart walked slowly, and finally, the single repetitive "crunch" came to an abrupt end.
"Childe, Yun Lan has arrived. ”
"Thank you!" Xuanyi flashed up, and disappeared from the old man's field of vision in a few arrow steps before the words fell, leaving only a small silver tael in place.
Listening to the sound of flowing water in your ears and walking on the familiar bluestone pavement, this slow-paced town has reached the time of year when it receives the most merchants, and all kinds of carriages and horses can be seen everywhere.
Xuanyi roughly counted the days, and before he knew it, he had left Yunlan Town for more than a year, and after passing through the still bustling and noisy town center, he planned to go back to the house he bought last year.
At this time, there were only a few villagers on the village road, and he walked to the end of the village, where the two-story building stood alone, and the ditch on the side of the house was the water storage period, and the sound of running water was made from time to time. Xuanyi pushed open the fence courtyard wall and looked at it, the front yard was full of dead branches and leaves, and a courtyard wall broke a big hole, black like a huge mouth.
Xuanyi thought to himself: This hole may have been broken by a playful child or some wild beast. He shook his head and walked towards the inner courtyard disappreciatively.
The wind rose, all kinds of debris and dust in the yard rose one after another, and the cool breath filled the entire house for a while, Xuanyi's hand stopped for a moment before touching the gate of the inner courtyard, and a trace of dark golden light floated on the skin of his body, and his heart jumped uncontrollably again.
"Ho ho!" several suppressed roars came from the back of the house, and Xuan Yi turned around to see dozens of figures standing outside the fence courtyard wall.
"Bang!" The courtyard wall on one side was knocked down fiercely, and several figures rushed towards Xuanyi, accompanied by a violent stench.
Out of prudence, Xuanyi twisted his waist, kicked his legs towards the black shadow again and again, and floated backwards dozens of meters to stand still. The visitor was knocked back by Xuanyi and fell to the ground, but soon roared and pounced again.
Only then did Xuan Yi see the attacker's face, a tattered coarse cloth placket, his face and a large area of exposed skin had rotted, and his stiff body struggled to get up from the ground, and then pounced again unconsciously and disorderly.
This is clearly a zombie who was awakened from a nearby grave by some means, Xuanyi once again split the dirt scattered by the two zombies along the way, and looked down at the palm of his hand, which was stained with some black filth, just like ink attached to the surface of the skin trying to slowly penetrate into it. Xuanyi hurriedly urged the internal force, and the golden light on the palm of his hand flashed, and the scorching Buddha light turned the corpse poison into ashes in an instant.
As far as Xuanyi could see, the entire courtyard was almost full of all kinds of zombies, large and small, and there were hundreds of them, and I don't know who used what method to drive so many zombies here.
Although these zombies don't know martial arts, they have obviously been blessed by some kind of secret method, and they are all rough and thick-skinned, and they have a strong ability to resist blows, and it will take a lot of work to solve them in a short time. And the most important thing at the moment is not to fight blindly here, but to find out who is behind the manipulation of these zombies.
Xuanyi jumped onto the roof of the house, and several zombies under his feet immediately roared and pounced when they saw this, climbing up desperately like arhats. The landscape around the house is completely shrouded in a gray mist, as if it were a completely separate space. Xuanyi kicked suddenly, and his figure shot out, and the top priority was to leave this area first.
With the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, Xuanyi jumped over the encirclement of the zombie group after a few ups and downs, and just as he was about to leave, a sharp weapon whistled through the air. In the mist, a huge black scythe suddenly appeared, slashing at Xuanyi's waist.
"Bell!" The scythe slashed at Xuanyi's body with a deafening dull sound, Xuanyi was knocked several meters away by the huge impact, and the golden aura formed by the Bodhi Golden Bell almost broke, and he turned back to look in the direction of the attacker with palpitations.
A thin figure slowly leaned out of the mist.
