The demon army retreated, the officers and soldiers escorted the torture car to continue to set off, the further forward the water rises, the narrowest part of the stone road on the shore is only less than one zhang, most of the torture car has to be in the water, many qi practitioners help cast spells to lift the wheels, because the fire cloud deer pulling the cart are all caught by the gods and demons, the formation of the back relies on manpower to pull the fiber, thousands of sergeants pull forward and push back, and finally get out of the gloomy canyon, to see the light of day.

Out of the bellows mouth to the boundary of Mingzhou, one of the five states of the Central Plains, was originally a rich place, but this year's rain is too much, the next one does not stop, several big rivers are making trouble, and the ocean is everywhere.

Many sections of the official road were washed by water, and there was silt everywhere, and the iron wheels were sunk into a depth of feet.

In the first battle of the canyon, Liang Xingyang dispersed the sword and slashed the gods and demons, and at the last moment dispersed the ghost fire in the sky, whether it was a cultivator or an officer and soldier, no one dared to underestimate it anymore, and even showed favor and wooed a lot, Jian Dongcheng also ordered someone to get him a four-toothed golden-eyed tiger for him to ride.

He rode on the tiger and walked beside the torture cart, looking at the foggy wilderness around him, and then at the girl in the iron cage.

Ever since she left the canyon, the girl has sat quietly in it, not moving, like a statue.

Liang Xingyang observed her for many days, and finally couldn't help but speak on this day: "You are really the White Bone Evil Queen?" ”

The girl turned her head to look at him: "My surname is Yan, and my name is Yan Wudan." ”

"Are you the Evil Queen of the Bones?" Liang Xingyang asked.

The girl turned her head to look straight ahead, was silent for a moment, and then said, "They do call me the Evil Queen of the Bones. ”

"You're the leader of the White Bone Cult." This time Liang Xingyang used the affirmative sentence.

Yan Wudan said: "My father was arrested by the government and escorted to the capital to be executed, and my uncles regarded me as the second-generation sect leader. ”

"In your White Bone Sect, is there anyone named Li Zhenghao?"

Yan Wudan smiled and lowered his head: "I don't know." ”

"You don't know? He is known as the rat king, and he is good at domesticating rats, and the rats he raises can be so big. Liang Xingyang rode on the tiger and gestured, "He usually lets the rats eat people and corpses, and then eats the rats as military food, and also matches the living people with the rats to make a whole rat feast." You say, is such a person a disciple of your White Bone Sect? ”

"Perhaps, many people who rose up against the imperial court said that we were taught by the White Bones, but we don't have the teaching of raising rats."

Liang Xingyang saw that she had cleared up the relationship between himself and Li Zhenghao with one sentence, so he asked again: "An Zhongyu, you always know, right?" It is said that he is the righteous son of your father, the leader of the previous generation of the White Bone Sect. ”

"My father has a total of fifty or sixty righteous sons, and he can't remember exactly how many, but there are only eight who have really been raised by his side, and there is no one surnamed An."

Liang Xingyang was silent, his eyes looked at the side of the road, a muddy mud pit, and there were two moderately decomposed corpses lying on the side, judging from the clothes, it was a father and daughter, the daughter was very thin, lying on her back, unable to see her original face, and white bones were exposed on her face and hands: "As the leader of the White Bone Sect, you have to bear all the sins done by your subordinates." ”

Yan Wudan laughed self-deprecatingly, lowered his head and said, "Aren't I taking it?" ”

"It's not enough." Liang Xingyang's voice was low, "Your White Bone Sect has swept nearly eight hundred counties in the Three Yuan and Eleven Prefectures, do you know how many people you have killed?" I came from the six states of Kunyuan, where the entire county and the whole county became an empty city, and most of the people died! ”

Yan Wudan turned his head to look at it again: "How do you know that they all died because they met the White Bone Sect, not the White Bone Sect when they were about to die?" If the deaths of all these people are to be counted on the head of the White Bone Cult, then what about them? Who killed them? ”

She pointed to the corpses of the father and daughter who had fallen in a puddle on the side of the road: "How many people are killed by the Great Xia Imperial Court every year?" Much more than our White Bone Cult! How many sins did the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty have to bear? ”

Liang Xingyang looked at the two skeletons again and looked at them carefully: "They died of the plague, not the imperial court." ”

"They died of the plague under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, and those people in the northwest also couldn't survive under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, the difference is that these two died in the puddle and rotted maggots, while those in the northwest chose to join the White Bone Sect, and they pinned their hopes on my father, and later, on me."

"They hope that one day they will live under your father and daughter, and they will live in Paradise without dying, right? But in the end, they will die, become inhuman devil skeletons, and still call you the master. ”

"I did fail them." Yan Wudan's eyes were red, full of tears, no longer arguing with Liang Xingyang, but with tears in his eyes, he raised his head to look at the field, "The essence of human beings is a pair of white bones, after death, the skin and flesh and internal organs will rot quickly, and only a body of bones can be preserved for a long time." When a person is alive, he has a backbone, and when he is dead, his backbone does not disappear.

We are oppressed by corrupt officials and 'adults', who drink our blood and eat our flesh, but they keep knocking on our backs! We also skinned them and ate their flesh, leaving them with nothing but bones! If my father dies, I will die too, but the essence of the white bones remains the same, the backbone is still there, and there will still be a new sect leader born after all, and I will be able to overthrow this sinful dynasty after all! ”

Liang Xingyang didn't want to talk to this "White Bone Evil Queen", but she really didn't seem to match the legendary Demon Sect Master, as soon as he thought that such a little girl was going to be escorted to the capital to be cut by a thousand cuts, Liang Xingyang couldn't bear it, so he asked these words, and got the answer given by the other party, not only did he not get angry, but he panicked even more.

The further you go, the more corpses there are, most of them are decomposed, some are pecked by birds, some are torn by hungry dogs, and you can't see a complete sentence, basically they are infected with the plague and died.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that there has been a flood and a plague here not long ago.

After traveling for half a month, I came to a Jinshui county, the outside of the city was muddy, and there were many shacks made of branches and artemisia grass, and between the shacks and the silt, there were corpses lying all over the ground, to say the least, there must be nearly 1,000 corpses, and the officers and soldiers went to check on them, but there was not a single living person.

It turned out that there was a plague here, and the county commander in the city sent people to expel all the sick people out of the city, leaving them to fend for themselves, and every day there were people who pushed it out, all of them died outside, they came to the West Gate, and there were more on the South Gate, and the disciple of the Baiyang Sect, Yujian, had seen it in the past, and said that it was piled up!

The county town is sparsely populated, quiet like a ghost domain, Baiyang sent someone to fly in and hand over the documents, the county order opened the city gate, the county order himself did not appear, only two soldiers, their faces were covered with cloths, and they opened the city gate in fear, and the eyes that came over were like looking at the plague.
