Chapter 384: Dream Ze, the Land of Death
"The legendary things are unwarranted after all, but human lives are at stake, and this case can't be left alone!" Princess Anyang said.
Xie Yunxiao looked at Princess Anyang and said, "What if the legend is true?" ”
"The legend is true, and this case must also be investigated!" Princess Anyang's tone was extremely affirmative.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at Princess Anyang again, with a faint smile on his face, "Then investigate the case clearly!" ”
Princess Anyang nodded, and he asked Shang Ping to arrange for the ship to enter Mengze.
Qu Fei heard this, how could he agree? But he must have no choice but to Princess Anyang.
In a short time, the ships were ready.
Originally, Shang Ping didn't plan to delve into this case, but Princess Anyang's behavior made him have no choice but to go in Mengze together, as for Qu Fei, he was the person in charge of the family sending team, and he was responsible for Princess Anyang's safety, so he naturally wanted to follow in.
In this way, only Xie Yunxiao was the only one on the ship who was Ningren.
And at the moment in the state of Chu, everyone knew that the king of Chu was going to kill Xie Yunxiao.
Therefore, whether it is Shang Ping or Qu Fei, they all have some different ideas, but they dare not show it easily.
But what kind of character is Xie Yunxiao? How can Qu Fei and Shang Ping's every move escape his perception?
Around noon, the ships of Xie Yunxiao and others had already arrived outside Mengze.
As far as the eye can see, this is a mysterious place shrouded in mist, and between the mist, rolling mountains can be faintly seen.
Mengze has a radius of 300 miles, but after the ship came in, as far as the eye could see, it was a lake, not much like a swampy land.
"Mr. Xie, it seems that the legend about Mengze is just a legend, because of the geographical location of the mountain, it is shrouded in fog all year round, and the climate is special, and people outside can't see it clearly, so there will be that unwarranted rumor, this is obviously just a lake!" Princess Anyang said with a smile.
When Xie Yunxiao heard this, he said, "It's hard to say!" ”
Princess Anyang didn't say anything, but there was a little more expectation in her eyes.
I don't know if she expects this place to be like a legend, or if it's just an ordinary place, or something else.
The boat went a little deeper, and at last, in the heart of the lake, a very luxuriant reed appeared.
In this mist, the reeds were much higher than the water level, and from a distance it looked like a low mound laid there.
Princess Anyang asked the boat to walk in the direction of the reed field, and in a short time they reached the edge of the reed field.
Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly, and Princess Anyang asked, "What did Mr. Xie find?" ”
"The smell of blood!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Princess Anyang nodded, the boat leaned on the shore, Qu Fei said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, just let the lower officials and others go over to check, you stay on the boat!" ”
"It's good!" Princess Anyang thought for a while and said.
Xie Yunxiao naturally wanted to get off the boat, and Shang Ping and Qu Fei came up to the reed field together with more than a dozen soldiers.
It was a very lush field of reeds, but at this time many of them were deflected and broken, and not far away, there was a corpse.
Seeing this, Xie Yunxiao moved forward a little faster.
Shang Ping and Qu Fei, who were walking behind, glanced at each other, they obviously wanted to attack Xie Yunxiao at this time, in their opinion, this opportunity was excellent.
Of course, this is just what they think, Xie Yunxiao has long been aware of everything, and the corners of his mouth have set off a slight arc.
But at this moment, in the reeds in front of him, there was a rustling sound.
Originally, he had already arrived at the reed field where he was going to shoot Shang Ping and Qu Fei, and his attention turned to the reed field on the side.
Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard, and a large black snake suddenly rushed out of the reed field, opened its bloody mouth, and spat out a piece of black venom.
"Stand back!" Qu Fei shouted, and the sword on his waist was unsheathed and stabbed into the void, and the brilliant sword was like a white cloud, which suddenly swept away.
With a loud bang, the black venom that flew in was blocked, and it was shocked and flew out, scattering on the reeds, and suddenly there was a snorting sound and black smoke rising.
Two drops of venom fell on a soldier's left arm, and in an instant, black smoke rose from his arm, and his flesh flowed and turned black.
He let out a terrible scream, which made the surrounding environment even more eerie and terrifying.
At the critical moment, Qu Fei did not hesitate, and swung his sword to cut off his arm, so that his life could be saved.
The big black snake attacked again, and the huge snake tail swept like a black whip.
The target of the attack was Qu Fei, who had made his sword.
Qu Fei's body paused slightly, and he clenched the long sword with both hands and struck out.
With a bang, the big black serpent rolled upside down, spreading out the reeds and overwhelming them.
Qu Fei, on the other hand, was shocked and flew back, his hand holding the sword trembling.
Xie Yunxiao stepped forward to look at the corpse, the head of the corpse was gone, the internal organs had been hollowed out, and what was left was just a shell.
"Did this big black snake make the corpse like this?" Xie Yunxiao's brows furrowed slightly, he glanced back, and the big snake that was shocked out did not continue to fight, but turned into the reed field, and disappeared after a short time.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at this body again, and now he could only judge its identity by the little clothes on his body.
Fortunately, when I came in, I had already asked who looked like and who was wearing what kind of clothes, otherwise it would be difficult to judge who this person was in the current situation.
"Go back, this corpse doesn't show any clues!" Xie Yunxiao turned around and continued to walk in front.
In this way, Shang Ping and Qu Fei once again had the opportunity to sneak attack.
It's just that at this time, everyone's minds are very solemn, and Shang Ping and Qu Fei naturally didn't think about other things.
Back on the boat, Shang Ping told everything he had seen and heard, Princess Anyang glanced at Xie Yunxiao and asked, "What does Mr. Xie think?" ”
Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "It's not good to say for the time being!" ”
"Could it be that all the people who came in were killed by the serpent?" Princess Anyang said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "But here, there is only one corpse, and it is not a complete corpse!" ”
"Maybe it was eaten by the serpent!" Shang Ping said lightly.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Why is the corpse of the yellow cow outside Mengze?" Who sent the body out? ”
"Maybe it was washed out by the water!" Qu Fei Dao.
Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "As an experienced corpse, he doesn't have any stagnant water in his body, the most important thing, if he has just been killed and sinks into the water, he won't be able to float for a while!" ”
"yes, who sent the body out of Mengze? What is his purpose? Princess Anyang said.
No one answered her, for no one knew how to answer at this time, and for a moment there was silence on the ship.
In this fog, after the big ship quieted down, there was a little inexplicable atmosphere.
After pondering for a while, Princess Anyang took a deep breath and said, "Keep going!" ”
Because there was no target, the speed of the ship was not very fast, and it was only about ten miles out of the unitary hour or so.
Judging from the current situation, it has not yet entered the center of Mengze.
There is still a lake here, and the swampy land is not to be seen.
But the rolling mountains in the distance are much clearer.
At dusk, the lake was completely darkened, and suddenly a few water birds crossed the surface of the lake, and suddenly there were bursts of ripples.
Xie Yunxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, although these water birds looked no different from ordinary ones, but for a moment, he saw that the eyes of these water birds were slightly red.
Obviously, this is no ordinary waterfowl.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, look at this day, it's about to get dark, why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow?" Shang Ping said.
At night, the temperature on the lake drops suddenly, and the cold whistles, revealing an inexplicable strange atmosphere.
The solemn look in Shang Ping's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he suggested that Princess An Ning leave and come back tomorrow, in fact, he wanted to go out immediately more than anyone else.
Princess Anyang said: "No need, go out and come in, there will be a lot of delay!" ”
Qu Fei nodded secretly, they are a friendly team, and they have been delayed here for a day, and now as long as they hurry up, they can make up for a delay of a day or two.
But if it is delayed for too long, it will definitely miss the good day and auspicious day chosen by Zhao State, which is related to the alliance between Zhao State and Chu State.
At that time, no one knew what the King of Chu would do, after all, the current situation in the Chu State was not very good.
Thinking of this, Qu Fei and Shang Ping, there was inexplicable hatred in their eyes, if it weren't for Xie Yunxiao, King Qi, King Wei, Zhao Gan, Yan Dan and others would have died in Jingshan.
The seven kingdoms of the world, the four kingdoms fell into chaos at the same time, and the opportunity for the Chu State to dominate the world came.
But now, the state of Chu is in such a situation.
Xie Yunxiao naturally knew why Shang Ping and Qu Fei wanted to kill themselves, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, everything in the world is like this, and what people think is often only beneficial to themselves.
If it weren't for the King of Chu having such a layout and putting all of them to death, how could he end up today?
The sky was completely dark, and the night of Yumezawa seemed to be much darker than other places.
Xie Yunxiao didn't make any moves, but his Yuan Shen power had already been released, and he was perceiving the changes in the laws here.
But to Xie Yunxiao's surprise, it seemed that the power of the law here had never moved, as if it was stationary, without the slightest ripple.
Xie Yunxiao took a deep breath, his expression was slightly solemn, he knew that this place was far more terrifying than he estimated.
Wherever everything and living beings operate, it naturally has its own concerns, and this is the root of the power of the law.
Now, with Xie Yunxiao's cultivation, he can't even perceive the changes in the power of the law, which can only show that some unknowable changes have taken place here.
"How much does Mr. Xie know about the legends of the Land of the Dead?" Princess Anyang asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "In the land of Kyushu, there are five places of death, and the legends are similar, but now we are all alive, and fishermen can come in to fish and get out alive, all of this, it seems that the legend is not very true!" ”
"That's what I think!" Princess Anyang had an inexplicable smile on her face.
Xie Yunxiao said: "So, everything is uncertain!" ”
