Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Forty: The Organs Are Exhausted
As time passed, the discomfort disappeared again. This time, those Sanskrit sounds resounded in Qiu Shaohu's mind for a longer time, and when he completely recovered, he found that the surroundings had already been in chaos.
Not to mention the suddenness of this solar eclipse and the absence of warning, today happened to be the day of the exam, and in order to prepare for the unexpected, the imperial court had already transferred a large number of city guards to the examination room to protect the future pillars of the empire who answered the questions, so in the streets and alleys at this time, the guards everywhere were extremely weak. Those who were attacked were in a panic, and there was no one to help them, so they could only let the panic continue to spread.
"How so?" Qiu Shaohu, who had recovered, was about to stop those moon disciples when another chaotic sound suddenly came from the sky. Above the dim sky of the eclipse, a large black shadow flapped its wings and rushed down like a dark cloud, causing screams in all directions.
It was a flock of ravens, whose pitch-black feathers were dyed red for some reason, and their eyes had become the same blood-red, like messengers from hell, coming to the mortal world to harvest the souls of these civilians.
Qiu Shaohu could see at a glance that they, like those monsters before, had already been manipulated, and only the purest desire to kill remained.
Seeing that these ravens were on a rampage, Qiu Shaohu backhanded two Xunfeng darts in the palm of his hand and suddenly threw them out.
The hurricane carried by the darts blew the group of blackbirds to the ground, and the crooked flock of birds could no longer form a complete formation. Then the leader of the flock of birds saw Qiu Shaohu who attacked them, and once again let out a series of sharp long howls, and rushed directly towards Qiu Shaohu.
Qiu Shaohu wanted to attract them in order to minimize the chaos around them. Seeing that the raven flock was really coming towards him, he also turned around and ran, his figure kept shuttling through the alleys and houses, and then saw the white jade bridge in front of him, and the roads above and below the bridge, undulating and undulating, forming a three-dimensional labyrinth.
Qiu Shaohu turned around and jumped down a jade bridge. In mid-air, the grappling hook on his wrist flew out, firmly grasping the bridge pier above, and using inertia to swing him steadily on the ground on the next floor.
The turn was so abrupt that the ravens couldn't dodge, and one after another, they all crashed into the bridge above, and they kept falling in wailing. In the end, there were only a few of them, and Kankan stopped castrating at the end, and then found that he was weak, so he turned around and flapped his wings and left.
The last raven was about to fly away, but Qiu Shaohu suddenly went and returned, and immediately grabbed it firmly while it was alone. Regardless of the crow's struggle in the palm of his hand, Qiu Shaohu directly used the soul search method on it, wanting to see if it had left any clues for himself.
This kind of monster,Obviously, they are all manipulated by people to be like this.,If you can find out the people behind the scenes.,I'm afraid a series of puzzles can be solved directly.,If you're lucky.,Maybe you can find your enemy.。
However, the thoughts of animals are much more complex than those of people, and there is no logic of formation and linkage, so Qiu Shaohu can't see anything clearly. The intermittent memory photoelectric is still repelling Qiu Shaohu's peeping.
Qiu Shaohu frowned, and began to think about whether to directly change the method and use the quality of the star map to retrace its experience. But right now, there are already a lot of people around, and they are all looking at themselves in surprise not far away, so if they do that, they are afraid that the star map will be directly exposed.
"Oh, where are so many rats!"
The sound of panic came from another corner again. The people around them fled the place, and they all avoided it. Qiu Shaohu had already seen a group of rats coming from nowhere, running from the corner of the street, aiming directly at him. The terrifying number and density, you can't see the end at a glance, if all the rats in the entire capital are gathered here at the moment, I'm afraid it's about the same.
Just when Qiu Shaohu was a little stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him, the raven had already struggled to escape from his restraint and flew into the sky without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Look at the rat swarm on the ground, all the way like a verified army, unstoppable. The smell of fishy smell is so bad that you almost feel sick when you smell it.
"Are there any of your kind among the monsters I just fought?" Qiu Shaohu looked at these rats violently, as if he regarded himself as an enemy. Thinking about the group of demonic things that were sent away in the alley before, there were also a few rats in it, so I asked such a question.
"Click!" "Click!" The ground suddenly cracked, Qiu Shaohu quickly dodged, followed by a few demon rats that drilled out of the ground, almost sneaking up on himself just now. The entire ground is still cracking, and the habit of rats burrowing makes them continue to press towards Qiu Shaohu from under the ground.
Qiu Shaohu turned over and jumped off the bridge beside him again, falling directly towards the lower floor. It's not scary to get entangled with these rats, the point is that it's extremely troublesome. Besides, since the other party has already stared at him, if he is entangled now, God knows what powerful monsters are waiting for him in the future.
At present, the movements in various parts of the capital, the forbidden army in the city should already know. I just need to wait for them to come over and end it, and everything will naturally settle.
But before that, Qiu Shaohu still has to solve one thing.
One layer further down, there is an artificial waterway in the city, and there are several cruise ships below, Qiu Shaohu directly avoided them, fell straight into the water, and jumped out again. Seeing that the swarm of rats followed, they jumped down from above without fear of death, and fell into the water, half of them were directly stunned and drowned by the huge impact, and the other half stubbornly emerged from it and swam towards Qiu Shaohu again.
The rat has excellent water properties and swims fast, shortening the distance between it and Qiu Shaohu by half in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Shaohu threw a ball directly at them. The thunderbolt exploded, igniting flames across the river. The rats couldn't dodge, and they were all affected by the flames, and the screams were piercing for a while.
When the flames gradually extinguished, Qiu Shaohu saw the remnants of the mice, quickly turning their backs to him, swimming upstream, obviously trying to escape.
Qiu Shaohu directly let them go, and at the same time saw the trace of one of them, and followed from afar.
Since it was impossible to find out their instigators by searching the memories of these little demons, Qiu Shaohu directly changed his mind and directly scared them back, hoping that they could directly take themselves to their lair, maybe there would be other discoveries.
Rats are petite and adept at hiding burrows, making them extremely difficult to track. Qiu Shaohu could only rely on the approximate traces of the other party to judge the direction in which it was going. Following its footsteps until three blocks, Qiu Shaohu suddenly found that the breath of this mouse had disappeared.
It was as if a little flame had suddenly been cut off, and it disappeared without a trace.
Qiu Shaohu was surprised, and quickly rushed to the area where its breath had disappeared, and found that the mouse had died on the ground for some reason.
In the surroundings, it left a more gloomy and evil atmosphere.
"Oops." Qiu Shaohu could feel that not far away, there were some stronger demons nearby. This rat may have been affected by the pond fish, so it suddenly died.
At this time, in the door of a courtyard, there was a cry of a baby.
It was accompanied by a terrible roar of monsters.
……
"Master Sima, please come with me."
At this time, in another part of the capital, in a quiet alley, Cheng Xiangxian was respectful and respectful, and was leading the way to a person.
The other party was wearing a brocade dress, and it was a person from the Sima family named Sima Tingshen, although this person served in the imperial court, his status in the Sima family was really not low.
Sima Tingshen followed Cheng to the first, somewhat impatient. This time, he heard that Xuanzhen Si had something important to look for him, so he reluctantly followed. But you must know that for Xuanzhen Division, there is no good impression of these cool officials in the capital. As for Sima Tingshen himself, he has no friendship with him.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind in his heart, if he found that the other party was not good when he arrived at the place, he would also ask a question and not know, forgive the other party for the sake of the Sima family's face, and he would not dare to do anything to him.
"Lord Sima, here it is." Cheng went to lead the way, took him to a compound and stopped, and said, "Please go in first, someone is waiting inside, and I will go somewhere else to report." ”
Sima Ting looked around suspiciously, this place is called Brown Xuan Lane, and there are deep mansions and compounds everywhere, because this place is relatively quiet, most of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital will also buy one or two other courtyards here as a place to live and relax in their leisure time. At the moment, he couldn't see anything wrong in this compound, so he listened to Sima Tingshen and walked in directly.
As soon as you enter it, you can only see the pavilions of the water pavilion, where azaleas bloom everywhere and the environment is quiet. Behind the lake, there is a screen to cover it, and behind the screen there is a faint sound of the piano.
The sound of the piano is like a high mountain, and then the water flows downstream, and suddenly falls thousands of miles along the waterfall, and then slowly circles up with the birds again. The ups and downs, the staggered falls, the people are refreshed.
Sima Tingshen listened attentively and stood motionless. When the sound of the piano finally stopped, he also came back to his senses and couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.
The master who played the harp heard the sound, and at this time also put down the harp, and walked out behind the screen.
A woman appeared in front of Sima Tingshen.
The two faced each other, but they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Is that you?"
"How could it be you?"
They already knew each other, but they didn't expect to meet again here at this time.
"Hehe......" A solemn whisper, accompanied by the smell of tobacco, appeared here.
Cheng Tingdong didn't know when, he took Cheng to go first, as well as Liang Li, Xun Jianji and other people who Fu Shendu appeared here, but he didn't see his other henchman Liang Mian. looked at the two people present, and the smile kept stopping.
"What do you mean by that?"
Sima Tingshen vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't feel the other party's pulse for a while, so he couldn't help but shout inwardly.
Cheng Tingdong put down the cigarette pouch in his hand and said, "Sima Tingshen, this lady in front of you, named Ru Ying, is one of the concubines of the outer mansion raised by your eldest brother Sima Qinmo, you should know this better than me." Now you ignore etiquette and have fornication with your eldest brother's concubine here. During this process, all of us have a testimony. It's a bit unreasonable for you to accuse me of it. ”
"You!" Sima Tingshen has always been wary of the other party, but he never imagined that the dignified court official would actually play such an indiscriminate trick on him as an immortal jump, or take his eldest brother's concubine as the target, and treat him as a real angry Qiqi smoke.
This strategy was set by Cheng Tingdong from the beginning. Since he wants to find someone from the Sima family to investigate the situation, he naturally has to knock on the other party first and pinch his handle, which is naturally the best strategy. Although it is a good strategy, it is also a good solution.
