Volume 2 The Flame of Chang'an Chapter 73 The Source of the Plague (3)
Naturally, the camel couldn't outrun the ink boat, and soon the sand bandits were caught up by Yan Yunting.
"Bang!" Yan Yunting aimed at the pigtailed sand bandit with a single shot, and beat it down to the camel with unmistakable accuracy.
The rest of the sand bandits didn't dare to run anymore, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy after falling off the camel: "The hero spares his life, it's the villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, let us live!" ”
Yan Yunting stared at the bearded sand bandit, blew away the gunpowder smoke from the barrel of the gun, and said coldly: "Tell me about the situation in the countries of the Western Regions." ”
The bearded man hurriedly replied: "...... All fell. ”
"Are you sure?" Yan Yunting frowned slightly.
"We've been chased by corpses for two days," said the bearded man, and once the desert darkens, you can hear the roar of poisonous people, as well as infected wolves and crows......"
"Hmm......" Yan Yunting nodded, the flushers waved their hands, and ordered in a cold voice: "Leave no one." ”
"Bang bang bang bang ......" With a few gunshots, all the remaining bandits were shot and killed.
The cold wind was about to take away the last rays of the sky, and the low roar of wild beasts could be faintly heard in the wind and sand.
"Coo-coo-coo......" At some point, the vultures began to wander over the ink ship again.
Yan Yunting loaded a bullet and aimed at the vulture's flight path, "Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and the vulture fell from the sky with a wail.
"Yan Daxia, the Western Regions are already in danger, do we still want to follow up?" The sailors came up to them and asked, and it was clear that they were willing to leave.
Yan Yunting frowned slightly, Momen was able to lend the ink ship generously, and the sailors were also doing their best along the way, and now they knew that the Western Regions were in danger, and it was really a bit unreasonable to let them follow along.
Just when Yan Yunting hesitated, Ouyang Bingyan and the others came over, and she said: "Yan Daxia can send us to the desert, it is already benevolent and righteous, and we are not good to disturb, so it is better to leave it alone." ”
Yan Yunting frowned and said, "It's going to get dark soon, where can you go in this vast sea of sand?" ”
Ouyang Bingyan looked in the direction of the sunset, "Loulan is not far from here, and you can reach it by foot in the middle of the night." As she spoke, she turned and handed the saber to Ding Jiujiu, and instructed:
"I'll go back alone this way, and you stay. If I unfortunately do not return, you will replace me as the new owner of the Peacock House. ”
Ding Jiujiu directly refused: "I don't want it." ”
Qing Yan held Ouyang Bingyan's hand tightly and said solemnly: "Bingyan, have you forgotten the oath of the Peacock Tower?" As soon as you enter the building, you are all sisters, blessed and shared with hardships, how can we let you go back alone? What's more, there are so many people we care about in Loulan! ”
"That's right! If you want to die together, I don't plan to get married in this life anyway! Ding Jiujiu said excitedly.
Ouyang Bingyan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Why are you so stupid......"
"Slowly, slowly......" Yan Yunting opened his arms, stopped the three heroic women, and said bitterly: "If I let you go, it will seem that I am not a man, as the saying goes, help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since they have all come to this point, it will not hurt to send you another ride." ”
"Yan Yunting, are you sure you're not doing a bad good person?" Qing Yan's voice was still so indifferent, but there was gratitude in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"Who told you to be so pretty?" Yan Yunting smiled, and said to the sailors: "Brothers, I heard that the women of Loulan have all kinds of exotic customs, like flowers and jade, if you can save so many two, three, four or five, you won't have to worry about not being able to marry a wife." ”
The disciples of Momen inherited the "love and non-attack", they just laughed it off, and they didn't have any opinions.
"Then speed up and go to Loulan!"
……
……
Soon after the ink boat left, night fell quietly, and an old man with a skeletal cane and a short figure limped out of the wind and sand, followed by two tall and thin men in black and white robes;
The old man's face was wrinkled, his face was as long as a cone, his small eyes were fluorescent like animal pupils, his crutches were made of human bones, and three skeletons were heads, and a green light swayed in the hollow eye sockets of the skeletons, and he was wrapped in a musty aura, and the wind and sand did not dare to approach him.
The black-robed man had a bitter gourd face, and even if he was lying on his body, he was still nine feet tall, and if you count the pointed hat on his head, it was at least a foot closer! His skin was as black as coal, and if it weren't for the glow of his eyes, he wouldn't have been able to see him clearly in the night.
The white-robed man is the opposite of the black-robed man, his body is like a layer of white ash, his collapsed face is almost shrunk together, he is like a snake spitting letters, from time to time he sticks out his tongue to moisten his lips, the corners of his mouth always keep up, but he is not smiling at all!
With such a combination, it is difficult to be a normal person.
"Looks like he's spotted us." The black-robed man grabbed the vulture that had been shot dead on the ground.
The old man's voice was hoarse: "If they had found my eyeliner, they would have killed it when they entered the desert, and they would not have left so calmly." ”
The black-robed man twisted the vulture's neck, raised his head and sucked the bird's blood, completely ignoring the smell of fish, but greedy and enjoying.
"The person who is qualified to pilot the machine ship must have an extraordinary status, so we need to pay more attention." The white-robed man spoke, his voice like a child in the voice change period, immature and sharp.
"Are you scared?" The old man's tone was contemptuous.
The white-robed man said in a deep voice: "Don't forget how Master Hou failed, the wisdom and strength of these mortals are much higher than we imagined. ”
"You're just scared." The old man was even more disdainful: "A hairy boy, a bald monk, three women, and a few firearms, how much wind and waves can be set off?" I don't even have to kill them myself. ”
The old man spoke, walked to the corpse of the sand bandit who had been killed earlier, picked up a corpse with his cane, and then spat out a mouthful of dark thick phlegm, which he smeared on the bullet hole of the corpse, and then recited a spell, and nodded at the corpse:
"Up!"
The corpse suddenly opened its eyes, and a pair of bloody eyes were extremely hideous!
Subsequently, the old man followed the example of the first time and resurrected all twelve corpses of the bandits.
"King of Ten Thousand Poisons, what's the use of you resurrecting these bandits?" The white-robed man asked.
The old man smiled conceitedly: "Although these sand bandits are not as good as the poisonous corpses I refined, they have just been killed by that kid, and their inner resentment has not disappeared, and with my poisonous blood resurrection, it is a weapon of revenge, and they will never stop without drinking the blood of the enemy!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the ink boat: "Go!" Seek revenge on those who killed you in the most vicious way possible! ”
Twelve corpses ran in the direction of the ink boat in turn, and disappeared into the wind and sand in a short time.
