Chapter 15: Ghost Trick

In fact, what people often say about barbarians is a contempt for the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, believing that these people do not obey the royal way, do not respect the etiquette and law, and are very barbaric in drinking blood. The land of southern Xinjiang is vast and boundless, with hundreds of ethnic groups, mainly the four major ethnic groups of Yi, Li, Chi and Qiang. Even among these four clans, there are countless branches, which are so chaotic that even the imperial court cannot record them. People who don't know the inside story call these tribes barbarians.

When Chen An came, he had made up for the knowledge of southern Xinjiang, and this time the place where he was located was the territory of the Yi people. The two main branches of the Yi people are Dongyi and Nanyi, Yi people are good at controlling insects and driving Gu, Dongyi driving Gu, Nanyi controlling insects, Nanyi's insect control technique is also known as ghost art, so Nanyi is often called Ghost Yi. Yi people rarely go out of southern Xinjiang, this is already the boundary of Fuzhou, far away from the land of southern Xinjiang, how can these people appear here.

The barbarians in Southern Xinjiang are extremely dangerous, and they are the primary target of the Secret Division's monitoring, and Chen An, as a secret agent of the Secret Division, now happens to run into a natural situation that he can't ignore it, at least he must find out the reason why they left the station without permission.

In addition to this reason, Chen Anxin was also secretly ruthless, these eight lambs did not accept Wang Hua, repeatedly harassed the people of Nanzhou, and held back a breath of evil spirit, just using them to vent.

He has been lonely all his life and has a strong sense of self-preservation, but someone must be able to touch his bottom line, and he can still endure it most of the time, and he will not fight with others for a while. Of course, human nature is complex, how ruthless the repression is, how big the rebound is, and the blood feud is tormenting his heart all the time, and he can only vent his anger in the mission. Therefore, none of the tasks he has handled have survived.

Although it's not a mission this time, it's a big deal to cross the line in a barbaric way, and the people of the dark division have encountered it, and they have the right to act cheaply, which gives him a lot of room to play.

Chen An followed the insect trail to the jungle on the shore, more than ninety percent of the land in southern Xinjiang is jungle, if you don't know the direction, it will be difficult to get out of it.

Chen An took a step to the left and a sliding step to the right, as if he was wandering in his own garden, and the branches stretched out around him were like medium grease, which naturally bounced away, and could not stop his progress.

After a while, he found a glade, and there were more than a dozen people sitting or standing in the clearing, all dressed as barbarians. As for which race it was, he couldn't tell.

The group of people faintly gathered in a circle, staring at a man and a woman in the circle. Chen An recognized at a glance that the woman was actually a barbarian girl who had been wet in the forest the day before, at this time she was not as agile as that day, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at the old man in front of her gloomily. Chen An's eyes fell on the old man beside her, and then he froze, the old man's hair was thin, his cheeks were thin, and he was actually an old servant who had been with Chen An for three years, a ghost uncle.

The ghost uncle is a Yi person, Chen An has long known that he did evil in Fuzhou and was locked up by the Fuzhou guards and escorted into Beijing, because the ethnic issue is not easy to handle, the secret division torture officials on duty pretended to be confused, locked him in the secret division prison, and left him to fend for himself. Chen An accidentally discovered his ability to breed insects, and was very surprised, so he used his power to fish it out, studied poison with him, and formed a good fate.

At this time, the ghost uncle was sitting in the middle of the field, and an incense burner was placed in front of him, and purple smoke was rising. The purple smoke rose three feet into the air and disappeared without a trace, but the dozen or so people around them seemed to be extremely afraid of this, and only stood ten feet away from it, not daring to take a single step. The barbarian who was the leader among them muttered something to the ghost uncle that Chen An couldn't understand at all, but seeing that his face was vicious, he was coercing and seducing.

The ghost uncle was indifferent to his words at all, just sat with his eyes closed, or patted lightly on the incense burner from time to time, and the purple smoke became a little thicker.

The leading barbarian gradually became agitated, opened his mouth and howled, and the sound he made was actually the "chirp" that Chen An had just heard on the boat. The grass on which they were standing suddenly tumbled and boiled in response, and when they looked closely, the grass was full of dense insects. Some of them are feet long, with thin legs on both sides of their bodies, some of them are round and rolling, and their bodies are covered with hard hairs that are inches long, and some of them vibrate with transparent wings, and they let out a screaming monster and pounce in the air for a while before falling.

In short, all of a sudden, the whole jungle seemed to come to life, and the sound was continuous, like a ghost crying and howling, and if ordinary people saw it, their scalps would be numb and their liver and gall would be lost.

The pretty face of the barbarian girl beside the ghost uncle couldn't help but turn a little whiter, but she dragged the hem of the ghost uncle's clothes, biting her lip, tears swirling in her eyes, but she refused to fall, and her long eyelashes trembled and trembled, which was a little sad.

The ghost uncle's withered yellow face was flushed with green gas, and he stretched out his hand to slap on the small incense burner, and puffs of purple smoke quickly filled the air, and the insects at the forefront of the encirclement directly curled up and stiffened. But there are too many insects, and they are not afraid of death or rush forward frantically, although the number of insect corpses on the ground is constantly increasing, but the encirclement is gradually shrinking. The head of the ghost uncle was also covered with fine beads of sweat.

Chen An did not hesitate and walked straight out. has been with the ghost uncle for three years, and he may not have said anything a few times, but for Chen An, who has always been alone, he has long regarded the other party as his close person. At that time, he was reluctant to let him go, but he was not good at expressing his feelings. At this time, the other party is in trouble, so naturally he can't help it.

So he didn't look any further, and stepped out. The insects on the ground turned into clear water three feet below his feet and seeped into the dirt.

Chen An didn't hide his figure, and those barbarians naturally found him, but they didn't care too much. This Ten Thousand Gu Great Array has already taken shape, even if the top masters of the Central Plains come, they are also dead or alive, and they are very confident in this. Unexpectedly, Chen An walked in the formation without incident, but the Gu worms carefully cultivated by his own family were poisoned to death like a trick, and only then did they become shocked and scream at Chen An.

Chen An didn't understand it at all, but he didn't understand it either, as long as he decided to kill, he never relented. He walked into the middle of the field, rubbed his hands together, and a puff of red smoke rose up, and more and more, thicker and thicker, and instantly filled the entire glade.

The group of barbarians were shocked, holding their breath and concentrating on guard, but the strange thing was that the red smoke did not cause any harm to them until the red smoke dispersed with the forest wind. However, the insects on the ground were not so lucky, and they turned into green, red and black water and soaked into the soil.

In just a quarter of an hour, the whole jungle was silent.

The barbarian was first happy, then furious, and shouted at Chen An. Chen An was indifferent to their scolding, because he had no idea what these barbarians were talking about.

The barbarian leader's expression was suspicious, it was really Chen An's attack was too unbelievable, he wanted to retreat, but this mission was too important, if the other party was allowed to escape into the Central Plains, then everything would be over.

The ghost uncle had already opened his eyes, and looked at Chen An fixedly, with a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. The barbarian girl also recognized Chen An's appearance, and there was a hint of surprise in her big eyes.

Chen An didn't pay attention to everyone's different looks, but just looked at his own masterpiece. There are only a few insect corpses left in the field, and the insect poison belongs to water, and it is naturally done with fire poison. And snakes, insects, rats and ants are more fragile than humans, but the strange living environment gives people the illusion that it is difficult to kill, in fact, the only species that can really adapt to various harsh environments and survive tenaciously are humans. The fire poison he used only slightly harmed the human body, and if it was properly defended, it could be avoided, but for small things like insects, the effect was fatal.

As for the remaining few insect corpses, they should be gifted, or cultivated aliens, not afraid of fire poison erosion, but they were still caused by Chen An's abrupt fire poison to collapse their internal balance and die on the spot.

He was very satisfied with the result, and his eyes fell on the barbarian opposite.

The barbarian leader's face tightened, but seeing that Chen An was so young, he slowly relaxed, stretched out his hand to stop the scolding of his subordinates, took a step forward, and said in a suffocating Central Plains dialect: "Central Plains people, this is my internal affair with the Central Plains Imperial Court, and it has nothing to do with the Central Plains Imperial Court, please don't do too much." ”

Although he used a "please", his tone was very stiff, and no one would be happy when he heard it. It further strengthened Chen Anxin's image of a barbarian who did not know the number of etiquette. So Chen An only replied with one word: "Get out." ”

The barbarian pondered for a while before he understood what this word meant, his face changed sharply, and he continued: "Central Plains people, do you want to be our Huangdu enemy?"

Chen Anxin said, I have never heard anything Huang Duhong, I finally sent a kind heart, spare him not to die, the other party is still wordy, I really don't know whether to live or die, but to save people must be saved, spare people to the end, he still said one more sentence: "If you don't roll, you will die." ”

The fierce light in the eyes of the barbarian leader gradually rose, this kid has no flesh all over his body, although he is not afraid of Gu poison, but the Central Plains people are weak, there are so many of us, we beat him to death with one punch and kick, so he also threatened: "Central Plains people, don't you don't know what to do, we ......"

Chen An felt that he was really destined to be a killing embryo, why couldn't he speak well, he didn't want to listen to the other party's continued verbosity, so he turned his body directly, his arms were spread, and his ten sharp fingers rushed straight towards the group of barbarians.

The barbarians lost Chen An's figure as soon as they saw it, and they were shocked and wondered if this Central Plains man was scared away by their own side, when they found a ghost suddenly appeared in front of them.

They were startled, and they all stepped back, but before they could take a step, they felt a cold in their chests, as if something was missing from their bodies, and then looked at them, and the Central Plains man stood strangely in front of them, holding more than ten fist-sized rubies in his hands, and looked at them with cold eyes.

The barbarian leader is thinking about what he is doing with so many gems, is he not going to buy us, that is not good, this time the target is holding the Huangdu Supreme Treasure Divine Incense Burner, how can it be compared to a few gems. But the gem in his hand is really so big, is there such a big ruby in the world?

Thinking about it, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground completely ignorant of his personnel.

Chen An pouted at the corpse on the ground, threw away the heart in his hand that was frozen into glass by the cold air, and walked over to the ghost uncle.

At this time, the ghost uncle's mind was relieved and he was already paralyzed on the ground, and his mouth was so loud that he couldn't say a complete sentence. The girl hugged him and just wept.

The poison has entered the heart, and the gods are difficult to save.

Chen An sighed, squatted down, held a silver needle between his fingers, and stabbed his hand into the kidney in the waist of the ghost uncle.

In an instant, the green qi on the ghost uncle's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he regained his ruddy color, even more energetic than his usual yellow complexion, and he sat up again, looking at Chen An in surprise, and the girl looked even more incredulous.

But before they could show their joy, Chen An explained in a gloomy tone: "You still have time for a stick of incense, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

The girl's face was stunned, and she froze there, but the ghost uncle seemed to be prepared, and her face was calm.

His ugly old face forced out a smile, and said to Chen An: "Master, the old slave has served you for three years, and he has never begged you for anything, this time I ......"

He couldn't go on, but turned his head to look at the girl on the side, his face reluctant.

Chen An naturally understood what he meant, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes again and looked at the ghost uncle and said, "Yes, from now on, she will be my own sister-in-law." ”

His tone was calm, without the slightest emotion, but when the ghost heard his words, he was immediately ecstatic, and he was about to get up and thank Chen An regardless of his injury.

"No need", Chen An raised his hand to stop him and said, "Leave the rest of the time to your grandchildren." After speaking, he turned around and left, standing still dozens of feet away, he was really not suitable for this kind of life and death, and every time this time would make him think about himself, so he didn't like to associate with people, and he was less involved in cause and effect.

By the time he returned, the ghost boy had completely lost his life, and the barbarian girl had fainted beside him in grief.
