Chapter 14: Ambush
"The blood on these people has all been sucked dry!"
Looking at the corpses of more than a dozen martial artists lying on the ground, everyone in the Fire Spirit Sect showed surprise on their faces.
The corpses were extremely hideous, as if they had undergone an incomparably terrible thing before they died, and their faces were almost distorted, and on their bodies, only skeletons remained, their skin was shriveled, like a dried corpse, and the flesh and blood had long since disappeared.
"A few days ago, some warriors who passed by here said that their companions disappeared for no reason, and my Miao Jiazhai sent people to look for them, but they didn't find any clues...... These corpses were found in the dense forest outside Miaojiazhai in the past three days, and when they were found, their flesh and blood had disappeared, and they did not dare to hide anything, so they had to tell the sect. ”
Miao Hanshan bowed and said respectfully.
Huo Xin's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, at this time he silently looked at the few corpses behind him, those people were wearing the light red robes of the miscellaneous disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect, these people were the miscellaneous disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect who stayed in Miaojiazhai to take care of the medicine garden, although they were only miscellaneous disciples, but they died for no reason, and the Fire Spirit Sect would never sit idly by, and the task of Huo Xin this time was to find out the murderer and save face for the sect.
At this time, Huo Xin's body stood straight, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, he glanced at everyone, and ordered: "Huo Anxing, Huo Li and others listen to the order, and the disciples of the others are hidden in various important places in the mountains, if they find abnormalities, they must be called by spirit runes, and there must be no mistakes!"
Several deacon disciples from the outer gate saluted with their fists, and they all took the miscellaneous disciples to turn around and leave, and at this moment, Miao Hanshan hurriedly got up and said: "Everyone, slow down, the mountains and forests around this Miao family village are full of miasma, and demon beasts are rampant, you must not go deeper, so as not to have an accident." ”
Wang Yi's heart moved, Miao Hanshan's words, at first glance, seemed to be thinking about the safety of everyone in the Fire Spirit Sect, but with the Miao family ancient village that Huo Liangcai said before, how to listen to it, how to feel, Miao Hanshan seemed to want to hide something. If the fifty or sixty people of the Fire Spirit Sect are left alone, and they are spread out in the surrounding mountains to search for the murderer of the martial artist, they will accidentally hit and find the location of the Miao family's ancient village.
But these words, after careful consideration, give people a feeling that there are no silver three hundred taels here, if you don't enter the surrounding mountains and forests, how can you find clues to the murderer. This is not clear, there is a problem in the surrounding mountains and forests, and the ghost believes that Miao Han Mountain is for the sake of the safety of everyone in the Fire Spirit Sect.
Although Miao Hanshan was extremely respectful from beginning to end, Wang Yi could always feel a trace of coldness from his words.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Miao Hanshan, but at the moment when he looked at Miao Hanshan, he felt two eyes shooting at him again, and those two eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart, and with a deep sense of resentment. He didn't need to look at it to know that it was the woman who could be poisoned, which he had honed in Chiyan Mountain, far beyond ordinary people's perception, and there would be no mistake.
Wang Yi's heart was inexplicably tight, this time Miaojiazhai and his party did not seem to be as simple as he thought before.
As the deacons and disciples of the outer gate of the Fire Spirit Sect took orders to leave, Huo Liangcai stepped forward and said to Huo Xin: "Senior Brother Huoxin, located in the southwest of Miaojiazhai, there is a big road leading to Wuyan Country, I am going to take people to monitor it, so as not to let those murderers find out their whereabouts and flee into the mountains and mountains of Wuyan Country, and I hope Senior Brother will agree." ”
Huo Xin pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and let Huo Liangcai leave with the three of them, among them was Wang Yi, judging from Huo Xin's attitude, it seemed that there was some kind of subtle tacit understanding with Huo Liangcai, as long as Huo Liangcai did not openly oppose his order, he would not bother to pay attention.
The moon stars are scarce, the breeze is blowing, and the evening breeze with the fragrance of fragrant grass blows on people's cheeks, and suddenly gives people a feeling of refreshment.
Located next to a major road outside Miaojiazhai, Huo Liangcai hid behind a dirt slope, looked at the road in the distance vigilantly, frowned slightly, and said: "I have been waiting here for nearly two days, and I don't see anything unusual. ”
After that, Huo Liangcai looked at the southwest, the dark mountains like ink, and was stunned.
Wang Yi had already known from Huo Liangcai that in the deep mountains to the southwest of them, it was very likely that the location of the Miao family's ancient village.
At this time, a disciple named Yan Chun next to him leaned over and asked softly, "Why don't Yan San and I go to that forest to explore first?"
These two people are relatives of Huo Liangcai, and they both have the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Gathering Spirit Period, and they are even more for Huo Liangcai.
Huo Liangcai hesitated for a moment, his advantage was to know the approximate location of the Miao family's ancient village, unlike Huo Xin, who could only search aimlessly, but his shortcomings were also very obvious, that is, he had too few people, plus Wang Yicai four people. If he dedicates people to investigate, it will be difficult for him to provide support in the first place in the event of an accident.
Moreover, just the day before yesterday, he saw with his own eyes that the miscellaneous disciples who were originally in charge of the Miaojiazhai Medicine Garden were sucked into dried corpses, and then he had an inexplicable fear in his heart. Those people were obviously not afraid of the Fire Spirit Sect, which made him feel very uneasy.
"Xiao Yi, what do you think?" Huo Liangcai turned his head and looked at Wang Yi and asked.
Wang Yi seemed to be cultivating, but in fact, he had already stretched his perception beyond a hundred zhang, and after entering the middle level of the bone condensation stage, he could even probe every move within a hundred zhang radius through the change in wind direction. At this moment, when he heard Huo Liangcai's question, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Have you noticed that there are very few martial artists who have passed through this road in the past two days?"
After Wang Yi's reminder, the three of them all showed a sudden look on their faces, and the road not far away, although people came and went during the day, but if you looked closely, they were all ordinary civilians, and there were almost no warriors, which was very strange.
Wang Yi's face was solemn, he looked at the surrounding dark mountains and forests, the shadows of the trees, as if countless evil ghosts were waving their arms, as if the next moment, they would be torn to pieces.
In the past two days, he has always felt that someone is staring at him, as if his every move is under the surveillance of the other party, and this feeling makes him very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, suddenly looked at Huo Liangcai, and asked, "Is the Miao family ancient village you mentioned really found in ancient books, or is there another origin?"
Yan San's face changed next to him, and he said angrily: "Wang Yi, how do you talk to the deacon, don't forget your identity, and you are still being hunted down by the Gu family, if it weren't for the deacon to take you in, it's hard to say whether you can survive now!"
Wang Yi didn't pay any attention to Yan San, still staring at Huo Liangcai, and after a while, Huo Liangcai's face was cloudy, as if Wang Yi had seen through his heart, and said: "I did see the news of the Miao family's ancient village in ancient books, but ......"
"Ahh
At this moment, in the mountains and forests in the southwest, a miserable cry soared into the sky.
Immediately afterward, a dazzling red flame rose into the air, and in the sky above the mountain forest, countless fires were shot out.
"It's a rune signal, there's a situation!"
Yan San glanced at Wang Yi, snorted coldly, got up and urged the true yuan of the whole body, and in an instant, it was like a sharp arrow off the string, galloping away in the direction of the scream.
Another young man named Yan Chun also followed closely behind.
Huo Liangcai looked at Wang Yi, sighed lightly, and said: "It's best if you are willing to follow, if you don't want to, I won't be reluctant, the road of martial artists is to fight for chance, this time the Miao family ancient village is very important to me, even if I am broken, I will not give up!"
Wang Yi stared at Huo Liangcai's back and said, "This Miao family ancient village is a bait, you will definitely die if you go!"
Huo Liangcai's galloping figure, the moment he heard Wang Yi's words, he paused slightly, but accelerated away in a moment.
Wang Yi sighed lightly, stepped forward, and after a while, he also disappeared into the dark mountain forest.
The moonlight shines through the shadows of the trees, shining in the forest, and the silver light of the stars flickers, as if countless pairs of cold eyes are looking at everything indifferently.
After walking for half an hour, Huo Liangcai's speed suddenly accelerated, and the speed of the sixth-layer martial artist of the Gathering Spirit Period urging the true yuan of the whole body was like a swift wind sweeping the ground, rolling up layers of dead leaves. Wang Yi seemed to be a true yuan, so he gradually distanced himself from Huo Liangcai.
In the end, Wang Yi simply stood firm in a clearing, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Come out, you have been staring at me for two days, and you have been so far away from me, are you really just trying to avenge Gu Feng?"
"Hehehe...... After two years of hunting in Chiyan Mountain, I have honed my ferocious instincts, and you are more and more pleasantly surprised to me!"
With a slightly sharp laugh, not far behind Wang Yi, among the shadows of the trees, a young man in brocade clothes quietly leaned out, this person's eyes are like stars, his face is like a crown of jade, who is not Gu Shiyu?
"Gu Feng is just a pawn for me to test you, how can I avenge him. Gu Shiyu narrowed his eyes, stared at Wang Yi greedily, and continued: "You have a big secret on your body, how can I not know if there is demon beast essence blood in that piece of blood jade...... Although I don't know what method you used to make the essence and blood in the blood jade disappear, as long as I capture you and use the soul searching method, your secret will become a chance for me!"
Just as Gu Shiyu spoke, there were three more figures, slowly walking out from behind the trees in the other three directions, these three people all had the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Gathering Spirit Period, and they were carrying a huge coffin behind them, and in the gap of the dark coffin lid, there was a looming gray dead air, and the surrounding plants, the moment they came into contact with this gray gas, quickly withered, as if all the vitality had disappeared, becoming a pile of dead branches and leaves.
Seeing that he was surrounded, Wang Yi's face changed slightly, but he stood still for a moment, he reached out and took out a short knife shining with colorful streamers from his arms, the moment he started, the real yuan poured in, the short knife of the colorful streamer, seeing the wind and long, there were more than three feet in the blink of an eye, and its upper layers were colorful, like the afterglow of the sunset, like ripples in the water, stretching and rippling, and the dozens of zhang square circles that corresponded to it were brilliant and beautiful.
"Hahaha...... I didn't expect that in just a few days, you reached the third layer of cultivation in the Spirit Gathering Period, and Gu Feng was also the third layer of the Spirit Gathering Period that day, and controlling this Seven Flame Knife could not exert thirty percent of its power, but you could control it freely, it can be seen that you have a solid foundation and a strong true yuan, even if you swallow all the seven Spirit Gathering Pills, you can't have such an effect, you are more and more interested in me!"
Gu Shiyu took a step forward, licked his pale lips, and stared at Wang Yi, unconcealing the greed in his eyes.
"The news of the Miao family ancient village was deliberately spread by you...... I thought you were just trying to deal with me, Wang Yi, but I didn't expect that you were going to put all the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect into it!"
As soon as Wang Yi said this, Gu Shiyu's face suddenly turned stunned, and there was a faint glint in his eyes, and he said, "How did you see all this?"
"In order to make the Fire Spirit Sect pay attention to this matter, you deliberately killed several miscellaneous disciples who were in charge of guarding the medicine garden, this is an omission...... If a robber robs a passing martial artist, how can he provoke the Fire Spirit Sect, looking at it this way, your purpose is to rush at the Fire Spirit Sect, not other martial artists!"
In the southern part of Fengnan Domain, there are lofty mountains and mountains, dense mountains and forests, and there are many robbers, and even some armed caravans and hunters will occasionally make cameo appearances as robbers, therefore, there are passers-by who die in vain, which is not a big deal at all, but few people make a move on the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect, and the robbers are just seeking wealth, and no one wants to provoke the behemoth of the Fire Spirit Sect.
"Hehehe......" Gu Shiyu sneered a few times, he nodded, looked at Wang Yi again, and said: "You guessed right, but that idiot of Huoxin can't see all this clearly, and you see through this, but you still dare to be alone, I really don't know if you are an idiot or a fool?"
Hearing Gu Shiyu's mockery, the other three men in black also laughed proudly.
Wang Yi put the Seven Flame Knife across his chest and said calmly: "How do you know, I am alone, I didn't mean to lure you out, so that I can catch them all?"
"Hahaha......"
When the four people around heard this, they laughed wildly.
Gu Shiyu smiled and leaned back, and it took a long time to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "You are really interesting, and you are not ashamed to say it when you die...... Your body is good, you can be sacrificed into a good Yin corpse puppet, and I am reluctant to make it difficult, so I will use it, and you should be content. ”
"Alright, do it!"
In an instant, the three black-clothed men flipped their hands at the same time, and the black giant coffin behind them rose to the sky, and at the same time as the roar, the coffin lid popped open, and three pale-faced yin corpses flew out of the coffin, with layers of pale gray dead air, instantly sealing all the retreats around Wang Yi.
