Chapter Thirty-Seven: Corpse Water

Xiong'an Village, for several days, everyone was immersed in the joy of the great victory. The two soldiers who were seriously injured were greatly relieved by the miraculous effect of the Muscle Pill, and it only took some time to recover as before.

The eight captured boulder carts, under the command of Gao Tang, were dismantled and transported to the village, two of which were assembled and stood majestically beside the gate of the village, and the rest were ready to be placed on the surrounding hills, but that needed to be considered in the long run;

At the same time, several truckloads of fire bombs were seized, that is, the oil was sealed in canisters, and it was launched with a boulder cart to the ground and caught fire.

Several carts of grain and grass were also seized, enough to last several months for the people in the village, and countless broadswords and longbows were seized, and now they were all put into the warehouse with sufficient weapons.

In this battle, everyone has learned the power of black iron weapons, especially black iron arrows and black iron armor, one can penetrate the big shield, the other can resist flying arrows, this battle can achieve a big victory at a very small cost, and the black iron weapon is indispensable.

There are already five hundred black iron long knives, and the top priority is to make more black iron armor and black iron arrows, at least seventy-eight brothers under Tong Guanshan, plus Tong and Qin, eighty of them must have a set of iron armor each; black iron arrows are now ten per person, at least twenty per person, Gao Tang estimated that it will take about three months to complete these.

After a few discussions, they felt that King Lu would definitely come back, and the next time he came again, there would not be only a thousand people, but judging from the current situation, King Lu's army was gathered on the front line, and it was difficult to draw out three or five thousand people for a while, as long as the reconnaissance work was done well, and the enemy army was prepared when it gathered.

After this battle, everyone's confidence has increased greatly, if there are one or two thousand people, then everyone's equipment will be upgraded to a higher level, and there will be no suspense about another big victory.

Three days later, a few miles outside Xiong'an Village, a team of more than a dozen people is marching towards Xiong'an Village, there are old and young in the team, everyone is ragged, sallow face, at a glance is a refugee.

These people talked about Xiong'an Village as they marched: "In the past few days, it has been rumored that the heroes of Heifeng Village defeated the rebels in Jiayuan City and returned, and the general who defended the city was killed. ”

"I've also heard that Black Wind Village has been occupied by another group of heroes, and refugees are widely accepted, but I didn't expect these heroes to be so powerful, we shouldn't be wrong to go to them. ”

"We're not on the wrong path. ”

"No, when there were no thieves in Black Wind Village in the past, I used to hunt nearby, and this can't be wrong. ”

The group soon reached the foot of the hill and was stopped by the guards.

"Stop, what are you doing? ”

"Hero, we are refugees from the neighborhood, and we have recently heard the name of Heifeng Village, so we have come to defect. An old man of prestige among the refugees spoke.

"We have changed the name of this place to Xiong'an Village, and the Black Wind Village is notorious and has long been abandoned. ”

"I haven't heard of this yet, so I ask the good man to forgive me. ”

"Well, the cottage changed its name not long ago, and it's normal for you to not know. The main reason for stopping you is to explain something. ”

"Hero, please speak. ”

"Recently, there are a lot of thieves, in order to prevent thieves from pretending to be refugees and mixing into the village, there are rules in the village, you can go up the mountain, but there are some key places that can not be approached at will, if you violate the rules in the village, you will be driven out of the village, or you will be killed on the spot. As for those key places, when you get to the stockade, someone will naturally explain it to you. If you can accept it, please go up the mountain, and if you can't accept it, please leave. ”

"What do you think?" the old man glanced back at everyone, and everyone nodded. "Hero, we accept the rules of the village!"

"Another thing, we have to check the things you bring with you to prevent thieves from carrying poisons, hidden weapons, and the like up the mountain. ”

"No problem, good man, please. In this way, a few more guards walked out, searched carefully the belongings and bodies carried by the people, and after finding nothing wrong, they led the people up the mountain.

After half a month like this, Ma Yun insisted on cultivating the "Rejuvenation Technique", but during this period he achieved little results, according to the line that had been practiced, that mysterious energy reached a certain level and did not grow; according to the other shortest line of cultivation, it was only a short period of progress, at this rate, there is no way to practice the second line in a few years.

Each of the five routes is more difficult than the other, and it will take decades for all of them to be practiced, and when he thinks of this, Ma Yun has a headache. It has only been a few years since Zhang Wuji has practiced the Jiuyang Divine Skill, and the Little Wuxiang Skill of Xuzhu has only been completed in a few years, but this "rejuvenation technique" is several times more difficult.

However, thinking about the huge power of the "Rejuvenation Technique", the difficulty of cultivation should also be, just a small success of the line, it can already compete with a master like a life-killing scholar, if the five are together, there should be no problem in becoming a master of one side.

In the evening of this day, it was Ma Yun's turn to inspect the village, and with the lesson of the last fatal scholar, he was very careful every time he patrolled. When he inspected the soldiers' houses, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, although the smell was very faint, but with Ma Yun's current keen six senses, he still smelled something wrong.

Originally, the soldiers' houses were all occupied by bloody men, and it was normal for some men to smell their feet and sweat, but this smell was a little strange, it was a rotten stench, and he had smelled this smell not long ago, that is, when he tested the power of the corpse water, he dripped the corpse water on a chicken that had been plucked, and then he saw that the chicken slowly turned into a pool of black water, and the smell emitted was this smell.

Following the smell, Ma Yun came to another miscellaneous house next to the house, and when he entered the house, the stench immediately became much stronger. Although it was evening and the house was very dark, Ma Yun still saw the two black stains left on the surface of the house, which were obviously washed away by the water and darkened a lot.

Looking at the two black stains on the ground, Ma Yun showed a thoughtful expression: "This smell is definitely left by the corpse water, but this corpse water only has a small bottle in the treasure house, how can it appear here......?" Thinking of this, Ma Yun hurriedly returned to the main cave and found Tong and Qin.

"Owner of the village, what's the important matter of looking for the two of me to come? Lao Qin, my 'Crazy Demon Marksmanship' is practicing vigorously. It is said that Qin Ming took away a book of marksmanship cheats from the treasure house that day, it was this "crazy magic marksmanship", Qin Ming couldn't put it down when he saw it, and insisted on practicing every day.

"Brother Qin, Brother Tong, I don't know if the two of you have used that corpse water?"

"Nope. Why does the little brother ask this?" Tong Guanshan asked suspiciously. Ma Yun told the two of them about the abnormal situation he had just discovered.

"Can you be sure that it was left behind by the corpse water?" Tong Guanshan's face was solemn. Ma Yun nodded.

"In this way, someone stole the cottage again, and used the corpse water... Corpse?" Qin Ming frowned.

"That's what I thought, too, and it should have been two corpses, and there were two stains on the ground. It's just that who are these two bodies, and have someone gone missing recently? The three of us are on duty every three days, and I haven't found anything unusual when I made my last round, so it should have happened in the past two days. Ma Yun said in a deep voice.

"If someone of my men goes missing, someone will report it. If one or two other people are missing, it's hard to say. ”

"So, it's possible that one of the people is missing?"

"Chances are, my men have daily assignments that can be found on the day someone goes missing. There are a large number of people, and most of them live at will, and the missing few people will not attract attention. I'm going to send someone to see if any people are missing!"

"Brother Tong is slow, so it will startle the snake. I have an idea, two big brothers, listen to me. I think that two people took advantage of the status of refugees to infiltrate the cottage, and took the opportunity to kill two of our soldiers, and after destroying their bodies, they blended in with us as soldiers, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. If this is the case, their identities will not be hidden for long, and there will definitely be action in the next few days, and they must be found before they are attacked. ”

"What the little brother said is reasonable, it is easy to do things as a soldier, and there are some important things that the people are not easy to approach. But if that's the case, wouldn't it be my two brothers who have done a bad job?" Tong Guanshan looked angry and annoyed.

"Alas!" Ma Yun sighed.

"If that's the case, how did they get mixed up with those brothers, and how did they find out?" Qin Ming clenched his fists.

"Eighty percent of them used the method of disguise, and since the people who mixed in had corpse water, they must have made full preparations. Brother Tong, please stretch out your hand and expose your wrist. Tong Guanshan showed his wrist as he said, and when he saw the two circles of scars on his wrist, Tong and Qin showed a sudden look.

"The little brother is really brave and resourceful, this method is very wonderful, Lao Qin admires! The thief has never been shackled, and he will definitely not leave marks on his wrist, and it will be easy to find the thief when the time comes! I will go and check the wrist one by one. ”

"Brother Qin is slow, this will still startle the snake, tomorrow morning when the practice is carried out, when each of them lifts the stone lock, they will naturally be able to see it. But the three of us will have to work hard tonight, I'll go lurk near the barracks, and the two of you will patrol around, if they act tonight, they can take it directly, and if there is no abnormality, it's not too late to take it tomorrow morning. ”

"Then let's act according to the little brother's strategy!"

The three of them acted according to the plan, and Ma Yun secretly avoided the guards and lurked in a big tree near the barracks.

I wanted to observe the situation in a few barracks from a distance, but several rooms were lined up, and I could only see the appearance of one room clearly, and the rest were blocked.

There was no abnormality all night, and when the sky was about to brighten, Ma Yun returned to the main cave, and Qin Ming and Tong Guanshan also returned to the cave.

"There is nothing abnormal at night, if there is no abnormality found during the morning exercise, then the thief is likely to be assigned to guard the mountain road and a few secret posts under the mountain. I'm scared to think about it, if I am really arranged to guard the mountain road, and the thieves secretly attack and kill the people on the mountain road, you can quietly lead people to kill the cottage. Tong Guanshan's face was solemn.

"Well, it's still not our thought through, this matter is over, and the rules of guarding the mountain road have to be replanned. Let's go to practice first, and after a while, Brother Tong will stand in front and take the lead, and Brother Qin and I will stand in the back to observe. No matter where the thieves are hiding, they will inevitably be found out today!" Ma Yun's eyes showed determination.
