Chapter 38: Ambush

The inner city was obviously more spectacular and well-guarded, with many soldiers armed with bows and arrows on the tall walls, ready to attack!

There are many living dead people gathered at the city gate, it seems that they want to enter the city, but unfortunately the gate of the inner city is closed at the moment, and a team of armor soldiers are guarding in front of the city gate, each with their blades out of their sheaths, and their faces are fierce, so that the living dead around them dare not come forward.

The third uncle's eyes looked along the city wall and said, "Look at this formation, it's the same as the outer city!" This time, let your third uncle and I also present back the majesty of the general! ”

There is nothing abnormal all the way from the City God Temple, and the third uncle is also quite confident at the moment, and directly takes out the Qiu Zhonglang Order! Strode towards the city gate, but before he got close, the soldier in front directly raised the long knife in his hand, and the third uncle raised the token in his hand with a calm expression, and the next moment, the blade of the long knife was a little closer!

The third uncle was startled, hurriedly retreated, put away the Faqiu order in a hurry, and walked back with a helpless face:

"It doesn't work!"

Grandpa muttered: "The inner city should be where Cao Gong is, naturally it is heavily guarded, but since you stay at the city gate, there must be a way to enter the city, since Zhonglang will not be able to order, then there must be other clues I haven't found yet!" ”

"Where to find clues in this huge dungeon! I can't last long with this belly, Dad! We have to find a way to survive before we starve to death! ”

"Clues!?" When I heard this, my heart moved, I looked back at Xiao Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu, do you know how to enter the inner city!" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "The inner city is not something that ordinary people can enter, and no one can enter the city without the orders of the four guards!" ”

As early as the beginning of the construction of this city, Xiao Yu has been living in this mountain, and later with the turmoil of the leylines was caught in the dungeon, but was awakened several times by those who entered the dungeon, although with their death Xiao Yu's memory should also disappear with the re-seal, but vaguely some memory fragments are still reasonable, not to mention, no one knows this dungeon better than Xiao Yu at the moment, therefore, we do not have any doubts about Xiao Yu's words, plus the process of opening the city gate outside the moat, it seems to be just as Xiao Yu said, The orders of these four gatekeepers are needed to enter the inner city!

"Do you know where the four gatekeepers are? How can I get their orders? ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, she looked at the city gate with clear eyes and said, "This is the south gate, and the south gate guards should be... It should be in Zui Xian Zhai! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly frowned, and her expression showed a bit of pain, it should be that the once dusty memory has been awakened again.

I hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, think about it again, where is Drunken Xianzhai in the city?" How do I get their orders? Forced grabbing? ”

Xiao Yu lowered her head, her jade hand covered her forehead, her breathing gradually became heavy, and her tone became shorter: "On Chengnan Street, but... But a lot of people died there! Can't go! Can't go! He's going to kill us! He's going to kill us! ”

As she spoke, Xiao Yu became more and more excited, her whole body began to tremble, as if she remembered something terrible, I hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and comforted her softly, telling her not to worry, just give us directions!

Xiao Yu gradually calmed down, nodded, stretched out his hand to show us the direction, we were about to turn around and leave, but I still had doubts in my heart, and looked back at the city gate carefully, since there was no general order to enter the inner city, then why are so many living dead gathered here?

And although there are many living dead at this gate, it is not as bustling as other places, and it seems that they all deliberately stay here.

Thinking of this, I could not help but look at the place where the living dead were most numerous, and they were not gathered at the gate, but on the side of the gate, and most of them were facing the wall, and I looked in their direction, and there seemed to be something at the wall! I just wanted to go up and take a look, but as soon as I took a step, at this moment, Zhu Feng suddenly went crazy again, almost broke free from Zhu Qingyun, and began to mumble in his mouth again, I was startled by him, at this moment in front of the city gate, if I was shocked by the corpses of these soldiers guarding the city, I would immediately be in a different place, I was not angry, I came directly to Zhu Qingyun's side, and said in a deep voice: "Look at him!" Otherwise, they will have to be buried with him! ”

Zhu Qingyun hugged Zhu Feng hard, trying to soothe him, Zhu Feng's voice was a little louder than before, and I vaguely heard another word: 'No'!

Hearing this, I was inexplicably shocked in my heart, and seemed to sense that something was wrong, but for a while, I didn't know what was wrong, and I didn't care about the weirdness at the city gate, so I immediately took out the bronze mirror and looked at Zhu Feng, everything in the mirror was as usual, and there was nothing unusual, I sighed helplessly, so I had to put it away again, but vaguely, there seemed to be a ghostly light flashing away on the back of the bronze mirror!

Zhu Feng's sudden shock made us dare not stay longer, the third uncle urged, and turned around and left after Xiaoyu!

The Zuixianzhai where the South Gate guards are located is not far away, and there are not many living dead around, but Xiaoyu is still a little afraid of them, so he stopped dozens of feet away and pointed out to us where Zuixianzhai was, a two-story restaurant!

Seeing this, I didn't want to force it, so I let Zhu Qingyun and Zhu Feng stay with Xiaoyu, and the three of my grandfather and grandson walked towards Zuixianzhai, and looked in front of the hall.

There was a burly man in a military uniform sitting next to the wine table, and a few soldiers on the side were constantly practicing the wine order, and the wine jar and huge wine bowl on the table were all empty, but a few people were drinking to their heart's content, and they looked drunk! And this guard is wearing a token around his waist!

However, my eyes only stayed on this Ling for a moment before I was attracted by a table of drinkers in the corner, who were even more drunk, all of them collapsed on the wine table motionless, drunk like mud, and their clothes were even more abrupt, which was obviously different from the little two of the drunken immortals and the living dead on the street!

This drunken immortal is a little weird, my grandfather and grandson are not in a hurry to enter, and the third uncle also found the strangeness of the drinker in the corner at this time, and said softly: "Tang costume? How can there be people here wearing Tang costumes? ”

"Tang Fu!"

After the third uncle said this, I also came back to my senses, yes, how could the city of the Han Dynasty have the old people of the Tang Dynasty?

And at this moment, the grandfather snorted even harder, and suddenly his expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Fire nitrate!" There is fire! ”

As soon as these words came out, I instantly understood the identity of these old Tang people, they were the ones who broke into the dungeon before us and woke up Xiaoyu! In ancient times, the means of refining cinnabar and other things were far less than now, so Zhou Yizhong people mostly took fire phosphorus saltpeter and other things as the first, and grandpa dealt with these things all his life, and smelled a familiar smell for the first time!

These Tang people are not drunk, but they were killed here by these South Gate guards, and as the dungeon was sealed again, they were not corrupted, but they were not impregnated with the royal characters, and they could not be resurrected! The old man of the Tang Dynasty died tragically and drunk Xianzhai, and I was even more surprised in my heart, and at the same time, the South Gate guard slowly put down the wine bowl in his hand, and he turned his head and looked at me with an impartial gaze!

Then, the corners of his mouth went up, and he showed that creepy smile again! This smile is cold and playful, as if it is laughing, and it seems like intimidation! This weird smile always gave me an inexplicable familiarity, as if I had seen it with my own eyes when I was close to it, but I couldn't remember where I saw it!

And as the smile of the South Gate guard rose, a group of soldiers defending the city suddenly rushed out from around the street, there were twenty or thirty people, all of them with long knives unsheathed!

"Fuck! There is an ambush!? How did they find out about us! ”

"Let's go!"

After the lamp oil sealed the cave, we walked in the dungeon unharmed, but at this moment, for some reason, we were recognized by the south gate guard, and we were directly besieged by a team of soldiers! At the moment, where can I still care about grabbing the token, while the encirclement of these soldiers has not yet been closed, my grandfather and grandson turned around and ran, shouting at Zhu Qingyun: "Run!" ”

The third uncle is holding an axe, and the soldiers who killed around him also let out a terrifying silent roar, if it is an ordinary person, just such a battle is enough to take half a life, fortunately, our grandfather and grandson are just outnumbered, but they are not afraid of these corpses of the living dead, I snatched my grandfather's bronze dagger, and the third uncle protected my grandfather in the middle with a left and a right, raised my hand to block a blow, kicked a person, the third uncle scolded non-stop, and even overturned four or five people one after another, and rushed out of the encirclement directly, not far away Zhu Qingyun saw this and took Zhu Feng and Xiaoyu to run first!

The south gate guard behind him saw us rushing out of the encirclement, with a wave of his big hand, the soldiers next to him actually raised their bows and arrows in unison, and a round of arrows shot obliquely, I pulled my grandfather to dodge in a hurry, and luckily avoided a round of sword rain, but the third uncle was not so lucky, although he struggled to hide in the shop on the side, but he was still shot in the thigh by a feather arrow, and suddenly screamed, and fell to the side of the road!

But the living dead in the center of the street were even more struck, and a rain of arrows knocked them down!

Taking advantage of the gap between them aiming with the arrow again, my grandfather and I rushed directly across the street and pulled the third uncle up, but fortunately, the arrow did not shoot directly into the third uncle's leg, but only scratched a deep wound in his thigh, and the blood had already flowed out!

Another round of arrow rain hit, I bowed my head to dodge at the same time, tore off the third uncle's undershirt and bandaged him briefly, hurriedly set it up, pulled my grandfather out of the street together, and around the corner, Zhu Qingyun and the three of them were waiting in another street, there are more living dead here, but I can take the opportunity to get rid of these soldiers, the third uncle endured the severe pain, and I dragged Zhu Qingyun to converge, and hurriedly fled to the next street!

When I looked back, the soldiers rushed out again, stopped by the hordes of the living dead in the streets, and indeed they had no purpose, and although they were resurrected, it was clear that their minds were still not alive! I breathed a sigh of relief, but I couldn't help but look at the crowd, and the surprise in my eyes was even greater!

These hordes of the living dead are still as usual, and they have not been corpsed, and it is obvious that there is no problem with sealing the cave with lamp oil, so why is it that only the South Gate guard and his men we are looking for are dead?

"You have to hurry up and stop the bleeding for your third uncle, otherwise these living dead will only be afraid to catch up!"

The breath of life in human blood was obviously stronger, grandpa's voice interrupted my thoughts, I immediately looked at Zhu Qingyun, who knew first aid, and wanted him to deal with the third uncle, but I just turned my head to look, but at this moment Zhu Qingyun's demeanor made me can't help but be stunned!

She was stunned to look at the blood on the third uncle's legs, 7 The indescribable weirdness in her eyes!

"Miss Zhu!"

"Huh!?"

I raised my voice, and Zhu Qingyun came back to his senses, his expression returned to normal, but he reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth! said: "The first aid thing has long been lost, and now it can only be bandaged simply, but this alone can't stop the blood, so I have to find a way!" ”

After that, Zhu Qingyun had already started it, I didn't think about it anymore, my heart moved slightly, and I turned my head to Xiaoyu and asked, "Medicine!" Where is there a pharmacy in the city!? ”

If there is a pharmacy in the dungeon, with the Heavenly Wish pattern and the power of the Imperial Character, there may be some herbs that can be preserved, and now it is the only way!

When Xiao Yu heard this, her expression was a little frightened again, and she said softly: "The city... There is a hundred grass hall in the west of the city, but... ”

"But what?"

"But that is also where the guards in the west of the city are located, and the guards in the west of the city have old diseases, and they soak in the medicine hall every day! We... Are we still going? ”

The matter of seizing the order to enter the city does not seem to be so simple now, but at the moment the third uncle is seriously injured, if he is not treated in time, even if he does not cause the corpse of the living dead to change, the third uncle is afraid that he will die of blood loss! My grandfather and I glanced at each other, and my grandfather said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, it seems that Baicaotang has to go, if you can take the opportunity to take the general order of the guard in the west of the city, it is the best!" Xiaoyu, lead the way! ”

Xiao Yu nodded, got up and wanted to leave, then Zhu Feng went crazy again, but this time I didn't wait for him to make a sound, I grabbed his collar, the third uncle was injured, there was no way to survive in the dungeon, and the chasing soldiers of the living dead still existed, the suppressed helplessness and anger in my heart broke out, and roared:

"The surname is Zhu! Be honest with me even if you're crazy! We don't want to bury you! ”
