Chapter 80: The Rebellion of the Barrier City
The gate of the barrier city was closed early in the morning, and there were many bloody corpses wandering outside the door, and Chu Muxi really saw that many of the bloody corpses had rotted and had soil, which were obviously dug out of the ground. The doors of the people in the city were closed, and the blood on the ground had not dried, apparently having just experienced a fierce battle. Bai Ling parked the spirit boat in the city and took his disciples down the spirit boat, and arranged for some people to check whether there were still blood corpses wandering in the city, and Bai Ling took another part of the disciples to the city lord's mansion.
However, the crux of the problem was that the disciples of the Immortal Sect who were supposed to appear after they arrived at the Barrier City did not appear for a long time, so Bai Ling could only take the disciples to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire.
The stone lions at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion were splashed with blood, and the blood stains at the door were also dry, Bai Ling knocked on the door three times, but no one responded for a long time, Bai Ling was ready to split the door directly, and the door was slowly opened. The door was opened by a very thin young man, his face was pale and ugly, as if he had been ill for a long time. He coughed softly, and saw Bai Ling and the others shrink slightly, as if they were a little scared: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" ”
Bai Ling asked, "This is Sun Taishou's home, right?" I'm someone sent by the Xianmen to help, may I ask if Sun Taishou is there? ”
The young man's face showed a bitter color: "My father, I passed away three days ago, and now I ...... I'm the only one left in the house. ”
The young man told Bai Ling that his name was Sun Yanxu, and he was the concubine of Sun Taishou's family. When the bloody corpse appeared three days ago, his father took the eldest son of the family to dispose of the bloody corpse with the soldiers, but he was attacked on the way back and died directly outside. And his brother-in-law fled back to the city after being bitten by a bloody corpse, and later became a corpse directly in the city, and the bite infected a large number of people mutated and died, and most of the bloody corpses in the city were infected by his brother. Later, the people of Xianmen came to help, and only then did they subdue his brother, and in order to cremate his brother and the infected mutant people together, he scattered his ashes into the mountain rift. All the servants in the house were gone, and he was the only one left in the house.
Sun Yanxu looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is still a young man who needs to be taken care of, and now all his relatives have died, leaving him alone, the young man is about to cry as he speaks, and Bai Ling hurriedly comforts and apologizes. But Chu Muxi saw it clearly, Bai Lingfa had a hand behind his back, and he quickly played a string of sign language, which was the secret language of the sect - "There is a problem, pay attention." ”
Chu Muxi also noticed the strangeness of the young man, but Xiao Xiao was very strange, and the voice asked Chu Muxi: "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with this teenager?" ”
The corners of Chu Muxi's mouth hooked and said softly: "If your family dies and is still bruised, will you be happy?" ”
As soon as Chu Muxi said this, Xiao Xiao understood. If it's really a loved one who cares, how can you not be sad? It's like Xiao Xiaoxiao, if something happens to his sister, he will never be happy.
And this is also the biggest problem with the boy, although he looks very sad, but there is a hidden smile in his eyes, that kind of smile with revenge. Chu Muxi, who grew up in Hehuan Sect, was good at acting, so at first glance she knew that there was something wrong with the teenager. She doesn't know much about things in the world, but she has also heard that the big families in the world have the so-called distinction between the concubines, and there are constant contradictions between the concubines. Now it seems that this young man is afraid that there is something dirty between him and his brother-in-law. Senior Sister Bai Ling didn't know how she could see it, but this young man really needed to be on guard.
Sun Yanxu enthusiastically asked everyone to live in his own house, and Bai Ling did not refuse. Take everyone to stay, let Xu Yu take people to arrange the formation, and he and Chu Muxi and Xiaoxiao left behind, Bai Ling asked about the whereabouts of Sun Yanxu and the others: "You said that there were other immortals who came before, so where have they gone now?" ”
Sun Yanxu shook his head: "They left the city yesterday when they said they had something, and they never came back, and I don't know exactly where they went, but it seems that I heard that they went in the direction of the north of the city." ”
Bai Ling responded lightly, and then took advantage of the other party's inattention to make a gesture with Chu Muxi and them, Chu Muxi and Xiao Xiao saw it, so Xiao Xiao deliberately went up and said to Bai Ling: "Senior sister, let's go help Senior Brother Xu Yu." ”
Bai Ling nodded at them: "Okay, stay safe, come back early." ”
Chu Muxi and Yan Xiaoxiao obediently said goodbye and left, but they didn't actually look for Xu Yu at all, but for the person from the Xianmen who left. The gesture that Bai Ling made to them just now was to ask them to leave to investigate and see where the first batch of Xianmen disciples who came over had gone, and it seemed that not only them, but Bai Ling also felt that something was wrong.
Blood corpses are mainly concentrated in the vicinity of the gate, which is the location of the south gate, and the north gate is a small gate leading to the mountain forest, so there are few blood corpses.
Xiao Xiao and Chu Muxi slipped out around everyone and entered the mountain forest to the north.
"Xiaoxi, why did you say they came to this place?" Xiao Xiao looked at the uneven mountain road, and felt strange with a large area of mountain forests that didn't look good. This kind of place is not a good place at first glance, and there is no treasure, so I can't think about it too much, so I will come to this broken place where birds don't.
Chu Muxi squatted down to check the footprints underground, the footprints on the ground were orderly and orderly, not chaotic, which showed that they came here on their own initiative, not brought by someone hijacking.
"I should have been deceived." Chu Muxi stood up, "The footprints here are orderly, which means that they came here soberly, maybe someone told them what was here, so ™ they came here." The footprints before entering the forest were orderly, at least proving that they were okay when they were here. ”
But once inside, it's hard to say if there's anything going on.
Yan Xiaoxiao thought for a while, squatted down and picked up a piece of dirt and sniffed it gently, but he didn't smell blood, and nodded: "It's normal that there is no smell of blood near here." ”
The two of them continued to go deeper, and the road to the depths of the forest was cut off by a large tree, and judging by the fracture, it should have been cut down by lightning. And the footprints also disappeared here, Chu Muxi checked the surroundings again and did not see footprints. He looked up at the surrounding forest again, this forest was so dense that it was impossible to say that it was impossible to fly. So where should people go?
Xiao Xiao also realized that something was wrong, squatted down and picked up a little dirt and sniffed it. The advantage of the race was evident at this moment, and the sensitive sense of smell made Xiao Xiao find a clue at once: "Xiao Xi, there is a smell of blood." ”
Chu Muxi didn't have the sensitive sense of smell that Xiao had, she couldn't smell the faint smell of blood, so Chu Muxi said to Xiao Xiaoxiao: "Then Xiao Xiao, you can lead the way." ”
Xiao said yes, so Xiao Xiao led the way, and Chu Muxi followed behind Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao took Chu Muxi and left the original path and walked directly from the woods, this path was very partial, far more abnormal than the previous one. But the more you walk, the more the smell of blood becomes, and in the end, you don't need Xiao Xiao to lead the way, even Chu Muxi can smell the strong smell of blood. The two of them walked until they reached the position of the mountain.
"It's strange, it smells of blood here, but there's nothing here." It's weird.
"It's an illusion." Chu Muxi was very handy with such an illusion, and she saw that something was wrong at once, and she pinched the magic in her hand and broke the illusion in front of her.
When the illusion is solved, a cave is revealed. From the cave came a strong stench, a strong smell of blood.
Chu Muxi and Yan Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. Obviously, something is wrong.
Chu Muxi took out the light candle used for lighting in the storage ring, and said to Xiao Xiaoxiao, "Let's go."
It's all here, and you can't give up halfway. So the two of them mentally prepared and walked into it together, the cave was very deep, and the closer they got to it, the stronger the smell of rot and blood became.
It wasn't until they reached the innermost part that Chu Muxi and Yan Xiaoxiao almost threw up when they saw the scene inside.
One by one, the corpses were thrown to the ground, the abdomen was dug open, the intestines and internal organs flowed to the ground, and even the intestines were trampled on, and the contents were left on the ground, and the rest of the internal organs were not much better, and some of them fell to the ground with blood vessels attached. I don't know how long the corpse has been placed, it is a little decomposed, and the wriggling maggots crawl out of the wound, enjoying it wantonly. There were even people whose eyeballs were gouged out, and a pair of hollow eye sockets were opened, and blood flowed from the eye sockets. What about the eyeballs? The eyeballs were in the pool of blood that was pooled with blood.
Such a scene is really terrifying, and it is also disgusting. The strong stench of decay made Xiaoxiao, who had a sensitive sense of smell, almost fainted. Chu Muxi endured his nausea and began to count the number of corpses here, these people were wearing the clothes of the Immortal Sect, they should be the first batch of disciples who Bai Ling had mentioned to come over and transmit a distress signal to the Immortal Alliance.
One, two, three...... Eight, Chu Muxi counted carefully, there were a total of eight corpses here, but Bai Ling told her privately that there were ten people in the first batch. Because at the beginning, Xianmen didn't know how big things were going on here, so only ten people came. But now, there are two people missing. But I don't know who is missing, Chu Muxi forcibly endured the nausea to turn over the tokens on their bodies, Yan Xiaoxiao grabbed Chu Muxi's hand at once, and was smoked by the stench, Yan Xiaoxiao's face could be said to be not very good at all, but he still said to Chu Muxi: "I'll come, you're not suitable for a girl." ”
Chu Muxi wanted to say that you are not also a woman, but Yan Xiaoxiao had already gone to check his clothes, and seeing that Yan Xiaoxiao had already moved, Chu Muxi did not move.
Xiao Xiao turned over all the corpses, and immediately washed his hands with clean water after checking them, and said to Chu Muxi: "They are all disciples of the outer gate, and the two missing ones are from the inner gate." ”
Chu Muxi nodded, signaling that he understood. The words of the inner disciple showed that the force value was higher, and Chu Muxi was a demon cultivator, so she knew that the disciple definitely did not escape, but should have been taken away by the people behind the scenes and made into a bloody corpse. But some places still don't understand why they were brought to this cave and who killed them.
"Xiaoshio! There's something to this! Xiao Xiao suddenly shouted.
Chu Muxi immediately walked over, it was a small pool of blood condensed in the corner, a beautiful blood-colored red lotus was lying quietly in the pool of blood blooming, the red lotus was beautiful and elegant, but it was incompatible with the surrounding environment, the current Shijie, there could be no lotus, and it was even more impossible to have it here. So, this is something that someone else left on purpose.
"It seems...... It's really as the senior sister said, I'm afraid that the former Demon Venerable is really not dead. ”
Everyone knows that the former Demon Venerable used 3,000 people to bleed to nourish the red lotus, and now that this red lotus actually appears in a pool of blood, all of them are telling the people who came, this is what the former Demon Venerable did. This is a provocation and a declaration of war.
"Xiaoxi, what should we do then?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Chu Muxi sighed and said, "Alas, let's go back and report to Senior Sister Bai Ling first." Senior Sister Bai Ling is afraid that she is still dealing with that Sun Yan Xu, and we can't leave for too long, after all, this place is too dangerous. ”
Chu Muxi took out a handkerchief, picked up the blood lotus in the pool of blood, and then put it in the storage ring, ready to take it back to Bai Ling. As for the corpses here, Chu Muxi and Yan Xiaoxiao finally used a formation to ensure that the corpses here would not continue to decompose. After all, this is a disciple in the Immortal Sect, and they still need to let their own Immortal Sect come over and claim it back, even if it is a corpse, only their own Immortal Sect is qualified to deal with it.
The two of them hurried back to Sun's mansion, and happened to come back with Xu Yu and the others who were arranging the formation, but Xu Yu's face was not very good, and it was obvious that something had happened. Chu Muxi stepped forward and asked, "Something happened?" ”
Xu Yu nodded with a pale face and said, "Go find Senior Sister Bai Ling first." ”
Chu Muxi nodded, the three of them scattered with the other disciples, and then the three of them went to find Bai Ling together. Bai Ling was sitting alone in the courtyard, telling the disciples of the other sects about things, Xu Yu and the three of them came, and she left the disciple first.
Bai Ling asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Yu said first: "Something is wrong here, I found that there is a huge magic circle here, and it has set up an enchantment for all the land within a radius of ten miles near the barrier city. It's very similar to Lishui City's, but it's stronger, and now the barrier city can only enter and exit, and I've checked it with those disciples."
