Chapter 274: Yin Soldiers Crossing
The whole city disappeared in an instant, except for Xu Zhiliu, who was moving around the city casually, saying that she didn't know anything, and I didn't believe it first. After I asked that sentence, I was even ready to do it.
Xu Zhiliu raised a thumb: "Not bad, very good!" Being able to speculate so many things in a short period of time without any information is rare at your age. No wonder Lao Lu would highly recommend you to me. ”
Xu Zhiliu saw that I was waiting for the next step without saying a word, and I didn't sell it, so I continued.
"Xuanyishe has three major leaders, you should know, right? In addition to me and Lao Lu, there is also Kang Jingyi, who is known as the ghost and exquisite, and is also the previous leader of Xuanyi House. Ten years ago, Kang Jingyi suddenly disappeared, and Lao Lu and I were reluctant to take over as the leader, so we cheapened the current leader, Lu Mingxuan. ”
Xu Zhiliu paused for a moment and said: "Lao Lu and I didn't expect that after Lu Mingxuan took office, he would make Xuanyishe a miasma, and he would lose half of the country in just five years. At that time, it was impossible for us to remove Lu Mingxuan, so we had to put our hopes on waiting for the leader to return. ”
"Of course, we can't just sit back and wait for the leader to appear. Lao Lu and I asked to be released separately and left the headquarters, and he tried his best to gather the elite of the Xuanyi House in Tianjin and establish other intelligence channels, while I was secretly looking for the leader. ”
"As I searched, I found out that the Leader had been invited to a voodoo convention ten years ago, and Blood City was the last place she was seen. I also stayed in the Blood City, slowly exploring the whereabouts of the leader. ”
"I've lived in Blood City for five years, using all kinds of means to dig up information. Eventually, I found a clue that the last voodoo party had all disappeared, and only the Witch King knew where they were. ”
Xu Zhiliu said: "If Xuanyi House is still in its heyday, we can completely mobilize masters to surround the Blood City and force the Witch King to give us an explanation." But now is different from the past, and the people who can handle it in the Xuanyi House have either returned to the rivers and lakes, or have surrendered to Lu Mingxuan. We can't muster that many people, so we can only find a way to get our people into the voodoo convention and find clues......"
When I heard this, I said, "Xie Yuwei is your person?" Or did you hire Ling Yun to complete this mission? ”
"Xie Yuwei's master is also evil, and he was among our invitations, but he didn't show up in time. Ling Yun needs the Life Creation Pill and will not make extraneous branches, so she is not my partner partner. ”
Xu Zhiliu obviously didn't want to reveal other news, so he quickly diverted the topic: "Our original plan has been going on in an orderly manner, but during the time you were chasing Xie Yuwei, something suddenly changed. Our people vanished along with all the voodoo masters, and we didn't even have time to leave a secret cry for help. ”
I then Xu Zhiliu said: "I have only been chasing Xie Yuwei for a long time, and it will only take half an hour to go back and forth." Why are we okay? ”
Xu Zhiliu said: "You didn't chase Xie Yuwei for half an hour, but for four hours." What happened during this period, you have to ask Xie Yuwei. ”
"I'm afraid that you will catch up with me, so I quietly let go of the Soul Separation ......" Xie Yuwei explained in a low voice: "The Soul Separation is my master's unique secret medicine, which can make people's bodies and consciousness fall into a temporary stagnation, and when the other party comes to his senses, he will only remember what happened before and after he was poisoned, as for the middle paragraph, it is all blank." ”
Xie Yuwei looked at my face: "I was afraid that you would catch up with me, so I took a handful of souls and scattered them." Originally, I wanted to poison you unconscious, but who knows, you chased you too fast, and I was careless, and even I was fascinated. ”
I gritted my teeth and said, "So we've been on the street for more than four hours, right?" ”
"That......'s right," Xie Yuwei hurriedly said: "Actually, I can also be regarded as a meritorious service!" If we hadn't all been caught and scattered, we might have been arrested by now. ”
I was a little bit crying and laughing, "So, I have to thank you." ”
Xu Zhiliu said: "Xie Yuwei is right. I was in your vicinity at the time, and I got some distractions. If it weren't for Xie Yuwei's crooked attack, we wouldn't have been able to stand here and speak. ”
Xu Zhiliu continued: "I came to my senses earlier than you, and I was the first to discover the strangeness of Blood City. Before you wake up, I've taken the lead in finding the stronghold of the Xuanyi Secret Agent. All my agents are missing, but I was left with a camera. There are some very important clues in the photos I just developed. ”
I took the photo from Xu Zhiliu's hand and looked at it, and I couldn't help but gasp. In the photo, Du Miao and Xie Yuwei and I are standing on the streets of Blood City like three wooden stakes.
A large group of soldiers dressed in ancient armor were neatly walking past the three of them. In the photograph, one of the soldiers' spear actually passed through my head, and the tip of half of the spear peeked through the left side of my head, standing on top of my head in a cold light.
There was also a soldier who walked past Du Miao, and half of his head protruded from Du Miao's back, and at first glance it looked like there was an extra head behind Du Miao.
"Yin soldiers transiting?"
The things on the photo are exactly the same as the Yin soldiers crossing the border as mentioned in the Shudao Legend. However, according to legend, when the Yin soldiers cross the border, the living must avoid it as soon as possible, and if they go late, they will be easily pulled into the team by the Yin soldiers, and from then on they will be brought into the Netherworld. Why are the three of us all right?
Taking a step back, even if the Yin soldiers didn't have the heart to catch us and were passed through by the Yin soldiers in droves, we should have already entered the body with Yin Qi, and the joints of our bodies were stiff, unable to move, or simply frozen to death.
I raised the two photos in my hand and said, "Are you sure these photos are real?" ”
Xu Zhiliu said: "When I first saw it, I didn't believe it, but then I felt credible. ”
Xu Zhiliu took out a few more photos: "Look, this is taken from different directions. My men were supposed to be standing on the tallest building in the Blood City, the Relic Stupa, and took pictures in different directions. According to the film, there should have been four teams entering the city from the four gates of the Blood City, concentrating all the way to the center of the Blood City, and then returning to the same place. ”
Xu Zhiliu lined up the four photos in turn: "If you look carefully, the backgrounds of the four photos are different, but the Yin soldiers at the beginning look exactly the same." This shows that only one Yin soldier is real, and the other three are all phantoms. ”
In this way, it really explains why the three of us didn't encounter a poisonous hand.
Xu Zhiliu spread the photos on the table one by one: "After the Yin soldiers gathered near the palace, they suddenly disbanded the team and dispersed into the whole city. Soon after, they brought back all the voodoo masters in the city. ”
I picked up a photo and looked at it, and the Yin soldier on it was walking back with a rope like a sheep, and the other end of the rope was a voodoo master who was wrapped around his neck.
Xu Zhiliu took out another photo and said: "The strange thing is that those Yin soldiers only catch foreign voodoo masters as if they are picking people, but they kill people inside the Blood City, especially the secret agents of the Blood City." ”
The Yin soldier in the photo is dragging the corpse around the place where it is hidden, but it is only throwing the body around the corner and not burying it. After we saw the accident at the inn, we didn't look for it in the center where the flow of people was relatively concentrated, so naturally we didn't see the corpses hidden by the Yin soldiers.
Xu Zhiliu said: "I really don't know, we are not lucky, after being separated from the soul, except for some heartbeats, there is no difference from the dead." Those Yin soldiers treated us as corpses, so they didn't hurt the killers. ”
I raised my eyes and said, "However, the Yin Soldiers also didn't collect our corpses!" ”
"Someone covered it up for us." Xu Zhiliu pointed to a photo and said, "Do you see this person?" She's also my subordinate. The place where she was taken was right near us. ”
I nodded: "You go on!" ”
Xu Zhiliu took out a few more photos: "This is a photo of the Yin soldiers leading the prisoners to retreat." The four teams retreated in four different directions, but the captives in the ranks were exactly the same. That's why I concluded that the three teams were phantoms. ”
