Chapter 65: The sound of a heartbeat
Above the sky, thunder and lightning flashed, and countless vendent crows were struck by lightning and fell to the ground, and the rest seemed to have never experienced such a scene, and they were so frightened that they fled from this nightmarish place without caring about the food on the ground and the corpses of their companions. On the ground, Xu Jianqing was still staring blankly at the place that was originally a mine cave, and a gust of wind blew through, blowing away the dust raised.
After a while, Yang Qian came to Xu Jianqing's side, coughed lightly, and said, "Great Elder, what now?"
Xu Jianqing is not an ordinary person after all, as soon as Yang Qian reminded him, he quickly dealt with this matter in his mind, only to see Xu Jianqing come to the two disciples who escaped from the mine and asked, "What are you doing in the mine?"
The two disciples looked like they didn't dare to hide anything, the two looked at each other, and finally the older disciple said, "They moved the tombstone." ”
"What," Yang Qian, who was on the side, showed disbelief after hearing this, and asked, "Didn't I tell them that no one can move the tombstone, who is it that dares not to obey my orders?"
"It's Senior Brother Lu Qiansheng, he said that the tombstone was too much of an obstacle there, in order to make it easier, Senior Brother Lu Qiansheng asked us to move the tombstone a little away, but I didn't expect that when the tombstone was moved, the tombstone actually fell down. The slightly older disciple put all the blame on the man named Lu Qiansheng.
"What about Lu Qiansheng, where is he now? Tell him to come out to see me!" Xu Jianqing became more and more angry the more he listened, and shouted at the two of them.
The two stretched out their slightly trembling fingers, pointed to the buried mine, and said, "Senior Brother Lu has been buried inside." ”
Xu Jianqing followed the fingers of the two of them, and saw that the place that was originally a mine cave was concave and concave, and it seemed that the person buried under it should be hopeless. After a long time, Xu Jianqing sighed lightly and said, "Get up and see how many people have been lost." ”
The two responded and hurriedly did what Xu Jianqing ordered. Yang Qian walked up to Xu Jianqing and asked in a low voice, "Great Elder, what about this matter?"
"Tell me the truth. Xu Jianqing said.
"But"
Xu Jianqing waved his hand and signaled Yang Qian not to say any more, in fact, Xu Jianqing also understood in his heart that everything that had just happened would not be long after, but it was not impossible for it to spread throughout the entire ghost world, and even to other worlds. The movement just created was so great that not only could you see it clearly within a radius of 100 miles, but you could also hear the strong movement here from a distance of 100 miles. The plan for now is to take advantage of the fact that the other families and the people in the ghost world have not taken action, and the scene will be quickly dealt with again.
Thinking of this, Xu Jianqing immediately whispered a few words in Yang Qian's ear, Yang Qian kept nodding his head and said, "I have to do this." ”
At this time, the two people who were instructed by Xu Jianqing to check the loss came to Xu Jianqing and said, "Report to the Great Elder, a total of three hundred and sixty-seven people died this time, of which fifteen were disciples of this sect, and there were also four hundred and thirteen seriously injured and three hundred and eight lightly injured. ”
Xu Jianqing nodded, as the great elder who was responsible for the highest score here, although he couldn't do anything about the dead people, but Xu Jianqing, the person who survived and was injured this time, also wanted to take a look. Xu Jianqing came to the injured crowd and looked coldly at the workers lying on the ground, suddenly, Xu Jianqing's eyes were attracted by two people, although these two people also had injuries, but most of them were pecked by vamplust crows, in comparison, the wounds on these two people were the lightest among all workers. The strangest thing is that unlike everyone's frightened expressions, the face of the young man in front of him has a very calm expression, for an ordinary worker, there is an unusual calmness and calmness in his eyes for everything that has just happened, which is very rare.
Ning Hao helped Xiao Luo find a place in the crowd, and was about to help Xiao Luo sit down, suddenly, Ning Hao felt a gaze looking at him, Ning Hao did not avoid it, slowly raised his head, and looked at those eyes for a second, only looking at each other for a second, Ning Hao moved his gaze away.
Xu Jianqing looked at Ning Hao suspiciously, and suddenly remembered that this was the young man who had just shouted that the sky had changed. In fact, when Xu Jianqing came just now, Xu Jianqing vaguely felt that there was a person whose strength was in the middle level of the Gang Realm appeared, but when they arrived, this spiritual power fluctuation disappeared without a trace, and just now Ning Hao was covered by the vampthirsty ghost crow in the sky, and everyone's attention was attracted by the vampthirsty ghost crow, he could still find the changes above the sky, this kind of carefulness and concentration is really not what ordinary people have. It's just that there are no spiritual power fluctuations on this young man's body now, which makes Xu Jianqing very puzzled, unless this young man has a hidden spirit bead, but the hidden spirit bead is not a heavenly treasure, but it is also extremely rare, and the most important point is that Xu Jianqing saw that Ning Hao's age was only about eighteen years old, and with Ning Hao's qualifications, it was impossible to reach the realm of the middle level of the Finger Gang Realm at this age.
Let's wait a few days before we talk about it. Xu Jianqing calculated in his heart that with Xu Jianqing's ability, it was not impossible to kill Ning Hao with one blow, but this would not only leave a murderer in everyone's hearts who killed people at will, but also caused panic among the workers and caused unnecessary trouble.
"The order goes down, after all the workers have rested, they must work day and night to clean everything in front of them, and now there is not enough manpower, but I will transfer some more manpower from the outside, and now these clean-up work must be completed within three months. Xu Jianqing saw that most of the workers were only slightly injured, and said.
After a few days of corrections, the crowd began to clean up the collapsed area, this time not digging a huge hole like last time, but starting directly from above. Within half a month, the workers cleared out the body that had been buried in the outermost layer, and after another two months, the tombstone was finally cleared. In these two months, Xu Jianqing personally supervised the project on the one hand, and paid attention to Ning Hao's every move on the other hand, but maybe he thought too much, in these two months, Ning Hao, like everyone else, worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and there was no special performance, and Xu Jianqing gradually relaxed his vigilance.
It's just that since the "collapse incident", workers have begun to circulate that at night at the collapse site they will hear the roar of wild beasts, as well as the strange sound of heartbeats. In the first days, those disciples of the Nangong family disagreed, thinking that these workers were naturally timid, and when they heard some disturbances, they frightened themselves in confusion and spread falsehoods. But recently, it seems that even these usually arrogant Nangong disciples have heard these voices, and for a while, those night vigil disciples are panicked. In order to appease people's minds and prove that there was nothing strange in the collapsed place, Xu Jianqing appointed Zhu Xianhe to investigate the truth of the matter, but after a few days, even Zhu Xianhe had no clue.
In the room, Xu Jianqing sat on a chair distraughtly, in front of him was a table with some books, and in front of him, there were also two people, one was Yang Qian, and the other was the old man who shirked his responsibilities last time. I only heard Xu Jianqing ask in a low voice, "What did the city lord say?"
Yang Qian glanced at the old man who shirked his responsibilities last time, his eyes were full of smiles, and it seemed that there was nothing worth worrying about, only to hear Yang Qian write lightly: "Elder Taishang is going to be out of the customs recently. ”
"What?" Xu Jianqing and the old man who shirked their responsibilities got up from their chairs almost at the same time, both of them beaming with joy on their faces. Xu Jianqing walked to the windowsill and looked out of the window, from which he could see at a glance the place that was originally a mine cave. Only now, this ledge can only see the endless darkness ahead, and the dark clouds in the night sky that obscure all the stars and moons, and there are even lightning and lightning in the distance.
"Looks like there's going to be a heavy rain tonight. ”
In the wooden house, everyone made the sound of sleeping, and some of them made earth-shattering snoring, but after living together for so long, everyone was used to it, and after a busy day during the day, it was time to sleep and make up for it at night. However, in the crowd, there was still one person who had not slept and it was Ning Hao. Although Ning Hao looked like an ordinary person every night and was sleeping, in fact, Ning Hao would take a period of time to cultivate every night, but tonight, Ning Hao felt that the aura in his body had gathered all over the dantian, and the next step was to break through.
It's just that the spiritual power fluctuations caused by the breakthrough can't be hidden by the Hidden Spirit Bead, so Ning Hao plans to sneak out.
At night, near the collapse square, a small group of three Nangong disciples were patrolling, and at first they heard the sound of those heartbeats and the roar of wild beasts, and they were all too frightened to approach the collapse. Until Zhu Xianhe's arrival, Zhu Xianhe couldn't investigate anything, so he could only ask these disciples to strengthen their guards. Although these disciples were still faintly scared in their hearts, no matter what, it was better to have a middle-level Dharma protector of the Great Luo Realm sitting here than nothing.
The three of them held torches in their hands, but the light emitted by the torches could only be a kilometer away, and the rest returned to darkness. As the three of them were walking, the man who was suddenly walking at the back turned sharply, shouted, "Who?" and moved the torch forward, trying to illuminate something.
The two people in front also turned around and asked, "Hey, what are you doing, don't scare us." ”
The man scratched the back of his head and wondered, "What's the matter, I just saw a figure flashing behind me, how could it not be?"
"There is not a single ghost here, what kind of figure, hurry up, after patrolling this circle, I will change to the next shift, but I am trapped." The man at the front of the road stretched as he spoke. In the end, the person who found out about the situation was forcibly dragged away by two other people with doubts in his heart.
Ning Hao's disappearing figure, Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to the tombstone, there was no one patrolling the collapse area, and the collapse area was so large, even if there was any movement, no one would find it for a while.
"I wonder if this tombstone can still be used?" Ning Hao looked at the buried tombstones, all sides of the tombstones were shattered, and some of them were even missing a corner. Ning Hao put his middle finger to his mouth, and was about to try the first drop of blood on the tombstone. Suddenly, there was a heartbeat throughout the landslide area.
"Plop Plop"
Ning Hao stood still and didn't move, because he found that the sound of his heartbeat actually came from underground.
