Chapter 1 (Road Raid)
Five hundred years later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The country of Fulong, Jiuqugou.
The sound of wheels rolling the stones came from a distance, breaking the silence of the mountain path. The intermittent sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the heavy wheezing of the horses, indicated that the convoy had been overwhelmed by the long journey.
The two officials on horseback were the first to show their heads. The two of them firmly reined in the horses under their feet, vigilantly observed the situation around them, and from time to time glanced at the escort car behind them, obviously the matter was very important, and they did not dare to make a mistake. Immediately behind them was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life. He was dressed in the official uniform of the Fulong Kingdom, and he seemed to be the person in charge of the convoy, but his face did not have the arrogance of an official, and was full of sorrow.
Of course he should be sorrowful. Marven Chang Ma Daren, 15-year-old Chengjuren, 17-year-old Zhongjinshi, 20-year-old Mengshi recommended to the first emperor to enter the Hanlin, seeing that the career is bright, the glory and wealth are unlimited, and he has indeed risen all the way, only 30 years old has entered the fourth grade, others are saying that it is just around the corner for the official to be the ruler, and the master often encourages himself to seek more things for the people, and he can't help but become a little fluttering, taking the prime minister as his own responsibility;
Not ten years ago, the first emperor wanted to build a large number of buildings and rebuild Dengxiantai, Master Ma lifted his robe as usual, and made a list of exhortations, saying that "the ancestors' rules cannot be violated", "Taizu divides the two worlds of immortals and customs, and does not disturb each other", "Your Majesty should worry about the affairs of the people", I thought that I could be seconded by the ministers as usual, and I didn't want to be quite tolerant of him, but His Majesty, who had always been quite tolerant of him, was furious and wanted to cut off his head on the spot. Thanks to the hard work of the master he had served for many years, he was relieved of his anger and sent him to a low position, and said, "Since you have a lot of dissatisfaction with my quest, then I will put you in charge of this matter, and if there is a slight mistake, see how I take care of you!"
Over the years, it was because of the words of the first emperor that Master Ma, a weak scholar, came and went in the wind and rain, transporting these "treasures for immortals" to the emperor every day, and the fine skin and tender meat were also boiled into skinny bones, white temples, and suffering, which was really difficult to communicate with others.
This batch of goods has been transported by Master Ma for ten days. When the above explained this thing to him, he deliberately emphasized the preciousness of this thing, and even sent a national demon master to assist in the escort, which shows the importance attached to this thing. Master Ma naturally did not dare to slack off, and took a convoy of more than a dozen people, day and night, and it was necessary to send it to the capital as soon as possible to rest assured. But it's okay to think about it, after all, the world is quite peaceful, and the weather is still sunny these days, presumably ......
"A dead body was found ahead!" The report of the former detective and the neighing of the horse interrupted Master Ma's thoughts, could it be that there was a thief here? Master Ma was startled, and hurriedly reined in his horse, waved the queue, and pulled the two of them with him to the place where the body was found.
Seeing this, Master Ma relaxed a little.
"The corpse is fragmented, only white bones remain, it seems that it has been dead for a while," Master Ma stroked his non-existent beard and warned the people who were a little tired, "This place is the famous Jiuqugou, named after the nine bends and eighteen bends of the mountain road, the terrain is intricate, and many pedestrians are lost and killed. We have to hurry up, and we must send the immortal red pearls to the imperial capital as scheduled, otherwise we will all have to lose our heads!" Seeing that the official almost cheered up a little, he turned his horse's head in satisfaction, and wanted to continue walking.
was stopped by an unexpected person.
"Wait a minute, Master Ma. The young man in the hat who rode a horse followed him said, and although it was not loud, it was not to be ignored.
"Well, do you have any advice from Young Team Qi?" Master Ma was stunned for a moment, wondering why this national demon master who had been silent on the road suddenly became interested in a corpse.
It is said that this Qi Shao team is also quite mysterious, and when the goods were handed over to him, they sent this national demon master to assist in escorting. The goods he escorted were originally valuable, and he also dealt with the national demon master from time to time, although he respected the national demon master, he was also an official of the country, so he naturally treated each other equally. But before setting off this time, the superiors specially explained to him, and the goods fell second, he couldn't offend this Qi Shao, and he didn't know what the origin of this national demon master was.
"I'll check it out. As he spoke, Young Team Qi simply turned over and dismounted, went to the place where the corpse was to take a closer look, and even turned over the white bones in the ground. But there didn't seem to be anything but a pile of bones.
Master Ma looked at the sky, it was not too late, and thought that it would be better to hurry out of the mountains and find a place to stay as soon as possible. So he carefully urged: "Young Team Qi, if we don't find anything, we better hurry up, after all, this barren mountain and wilderness, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the mountain on time after a long delay......"
"Hmm......" Young Team Qi replied softly, as if he really hadn't discovered anything.
It's just that when the convoy is back on the road, he can be seen looking back with a little puzzled gaze from time to time.
However, things don't seem to be that simple.
Not long after the convoy walked, two more skeletons were found, and further on, four or six......
There were more and more corpses, even the most big-hearted people should realize that something was wrong, the horses neighed incessantly, and a few horses were unwilling to go any further even if they were whipped no matter how much they were whipped, and an aura of fear gradually spread throughout the convoy.
It seems that even God can't get along with them, but the weather is still fine, and a dark cloud floats from nowhere, covering the whole valley in a dark way, so that people can't see their fingers, but after a quarter of an hour, it rains again. The mountain road was originally muddy, but now it will rain, and the rain will collect into the canyon from all directions, and there is really no place to stay. The group struggled to grope in the dark for a while, feeling that the water was getting bigger and bigger, and if they couldn't get out, they would have to drown if they didn't get trapped.
The probe reluctantly reined in his horse and walked a few more steps, and when he looked closely, he could see some bright light in the distance coming out of the place where it seemed to be an exit, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Everyone, work harder! The front is the exit! Out of this canyon, you can leave the Jiuqu ......."
The word "ditch" exited, and I saw its head flip backwards at a strange angle, and the next moment, the bones rolled down to the ground.
People turn on their backs.
If you look closely, you can see a silver light flashing near his neck before he died.
The convoy was in chaos, with some shouting "What's going on!", "What's going on?", and others screaming in fright and rolling under their horses.
Ignoring the chaos of the convoy, the Qi Shao team looked at his head, and suddenly his heart tightened: he saw that the cliffs of the black holes on both sides were already full of dense white bright spots at some point, but what was even more terrifying was the breath that spewed out from time to time under the bright spots-these bright spots were eyes.
When the Qi squad realized this, with the strange laughter of "quack", the owner of the eyes began their hunting.
There was a muffled sound of "knock knock" rubbing against the mountain wall, and dozens of black shadows jumped down from the mountain wall while screaming, and the crescent-shaped white object in their hands was thrown out in the direction of the convoy. For a while, there was a lot of white light, and the sound of swishing wind passed everywhere, and there was the muffled sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh and the screams of officers and soldiers dying about to die, and as far as the eye could see, almost all the troops were wiped out!
And the Qi squad was also submerged in dozens of white lights, and it seemed that they couldn't survive. Seeing this, the monsters with the bodies of birds, beasts and apes couldn't help but shout excitedly, and after a few ups and downs, they were about to jump to the corpse and harvest today's prey.
However, when Kankan was about to get closer, the monsters running in front suddenly stopped.
--Listening to the sound of "Zheng Zheng", the man surrounded by white light was still alive, not only was he still alive, but the dozens of bone knives that the monsters thought were fighting were taken down by him one after another and fell to the ground.
The monsters couldn't help but hesitate a little, instinctively feeling the danger, their hairs stood on end, and they made a "cooing" sound, trying to threaten the enemy.
"The little mountain ghost actually dares to occupy the mountain as a camp and attack passers-by...... the man shouted in a low voice, with one hand sealed, his right leg off the ground, his posture was peculiar as if a white crane was about to fly, and his eyes suddenly raised from under his hat were as sharp as knives!
"It's bold!"
I saw that a glowing magic seal suddenly appeared in the middle of the palm of his right hand, and in the next second, a purple-gold black wolf that was far larger than normal suddenly rushed out of the magic seal.
"Haste as the law!"
Between the ink renderings, the closest monster separates in an instant!
When the other monsters saw their companions killed, they were a little frightened, but they looked left and right, and then angrily shouted and rushed towards the man in groups, trying to tear him apart. Seeing this, the man was not in a hurry, with a wave of his big hand, the brush in his palm splashed ink, and wherever he passed, the click sound of head and body separation came and went.
The monster saw that something was wrong, and screamed a few times, but the next action was to break open its abdomen, and when it fumbled for a while and looked again, there was an extra crescent-shaped bone blade in its hand - the light knife was actually taken from the monster!
"Quack!"
"Goo!"
The monster danced as it threw the bone blade in its hand at the man, as if it had seen the fate of this unusual enemy turned into pulp. However, what he didn't expect was that the man didn't know what spell he used, and the ink around his body swirled like a small tornado, and even though those bone blades were extremely powerful, they could only be forced to the outside, unable to hurt them in the slightest.
When it was too late, the ink was still spinning wildly, and the man suddenly jumped out of it, changed the seal with his right hand, and shouted loudly
"Hurry!"
Almost at the same time, the ink that had been spinning in the previous second instantly shrank into a black sphere, but this process only lasted less than half a second.
There was a muffled sound, and the black sphere suddenly exploded without warning! Dozens of ink pillars roared towards the monster like long snakes, and the monster wanted to avoid it but it was too late at all, and they were hit one after another.
"Boom!" the last thunder resounded in the sky, and looking down, in addition to the smell of ink splashing in the air, there was still a trace of a monster there? Only the corpses of officers and soldiers remaining on the ground seemed to suggest that a fierce battle had taken place in this place.
The dark clouds overhead finally dispersed, and the scorching sun shone through the valley above, illuminating the dark canyon. The man stretched out his right hand, slowly took off the hat on his head, and gently shook the rain winding on it, looking at his appearance closely, it was true: his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like morning stars, the bridge of his nose was high, his thin lips were smiling, his long black hair was neatly draped over his shoulders, and his skin with water droplets was almost shining in the sunlight, what a handsome man!
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he was talking to himself:
"All ...... annihilated"
It's a pity that the word extinguishing didn't have time to exit, only to hear the sound of "whoosh" behind him, the man wanted to avoid the ground, and there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the man who was still chic and unpretentious like a god was instantly knocked ten meters away, and fell to the ground with a heavy "bang" sound, and ate a body of soil.
When he looked back, he saw a large forked brush standing at the place where he was beaten - it was the purple gold black wolf that the man used in the fight. At this moment, I saw that the big brush was majestically kicked on the ground, the tip of the pen was forked for support, and there was a big mouth on the barrel of the pen. Looking up again, a big eye at the end of the pen was glaring at the man, and the brush had a big mouth:
"No descendants!"
