Chapter 156: Quicksand Devours People
"Chi Yang, what do you want?" Mo Duo's face was much darker.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to show you something......" As he spoke, Chi Yang took out a white jade plaque in his hand and stretched it out in front of Mo Duo.
"Holy ...... You ......" After reading the words on the jade plaque clearly, Mo Duo's face changed greatly.
"Did you see clearly?Mo Duo, now, understand why I came to you, right?" Chi Yang said with a smile, and the small jade plaque disappeared again as soon as he withdrew his hand.
"See the Holy Messenger!" Mo Duo bowed his head and fell to his knees at once.
Mo Duo, who was like a god in the eyes of the barbarians in the northern Xinjiang, knelt at the feet of the strange man in front of him who was full of laughter and no form. bowed his head to his ears, and did not see his previous arrogance at all.
"Old friend, get up! Look at you, what is this for? I show my identity, but I don't want to get your head knocked! Get up, the two of us are still friends, kneeling on the ground, how can we catch up with the past?" Chi Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Mo Duo up, and said very politely.
"The Holy Envoy is here, I don't know what advice you have?" asked Mo Duo, looking respectful.
"I remember, your relationship with Yu Liangsheng seems to be quite good, right? Why did you kill his people today?" Chi Yang looked at the three corpses on the ground and asked.
"Yu Liangsheng only respects me on the surface, but in fact, he has long looked at me unpleasantly. These three people were sent by him to move reinforcements. He can't do it himself, and I can't let him, a madman, push the whole of our people out of the way!" replied Merdor.
"By the way, you guys seem to be fighting with the Left Guards now, right? Why are you still fighting among yourself if you don't help your own people? Do you need me, I'll help you?" Chi Yang asked with a smile.
"Don't dare to bother the Holy Envoy! This battle is actually insignificant, but Yu Liang Sheng doesn't know the reason, and he doesn't measure his own strength, and he actually wants to rely on the ventilation and news of those few Great Qi people, so he vainly tries to eliminate the Left Guard Army and recreate the glory of our clan back then!
"Mo Duo, do you still seem to be very patriotic?" Chi Yang said with a smile, not knowing whether this sentence was positive or negative.
"The Holy Envoy also knows that Mo Duo was born as a barbarian, and although he has a weak sense of family and country, this is always the place where I was born and raised. I just want to do my best to help my people!" replied to Merdor, bowing his head.
"You don't seem to have confidence in your people? Is that Left Guard really that powerful? Seeing you like this, it seems that you didn't even think about winning?" Chi Yang asked again.
"That Zuowei General Yu Wenxuan is also from the Holy City...... Come out......" Mo Duo's voice was much lower.
"If you leave the Holy City, you will no longer be a person from the Holy City!, just an outcast, what is there to be afraid of?" Chi Yang said disdainfully, but he only said this, and the rest of the words to help people never opened his mouth again.
"Holy Envoy, ...... you are here this time," it was Mo Duo who spoke first.
"My purpose...... Don't you really know?" Chi Yang squinted his eyes and looked at Mo Duo, with a smile on his face, but that smile made Mo Duo feel cold in his heart.
"Holy Envoy, for this year's ...... Seed...... Come on, right?" said Mo Duo's words.
"Don't you know very well?How's the harvest?Can you pay the rent now?" Chi Yang stretched out a hand in the direction of Mo Duo.
"Holy Envoy, isn't it going to be handed over until the end of the year? It's still more than two months away!" Mo Duo's two hands clasped together, and he looked at Chi Yang with a smiling face with some uneasiness.
"I'm sorry, old friend, this year's date has been changed, and it's been advanced! On the tenth day of the first month of next month, you will have to hand over this year's harvest to me! I'm here this time, just to inform you in advance!" Chi Yang stretched out his five fingers and said with a smile.
"How could it be early? I ......" Mo Duo's face changed drastically, and the two eyebrows were twisted together.
"Don't blame me for this, I'm just doing what I'm ordered!Old friend, is there a problem?Do you need me to talk and make peace with the people above?" Chi Yang took his hand back and winked at Mo Duo.
"No, no, no, no problem! On the tenth day of the first month of next month, I will definitely hand over this year's seeds to the Holy Envoy!" Mo Duo's head shook back and forth like a rattle, and he waved his hand vigorously.
"That's good...... I'm relieved......" The smile on Ji Yang's face became even stronger.
He was about to say a few more words to Mo Duo, when suddenly, he felt his feet shake.
"What's going on?" the smile on Chi Yang's face disappeared as he looked at Mo Duo and asked.
Mo Duo shook his head, also stunned: "Northern Xinjiang has never had a history of earthquakes, this is ......"
Chi Yang took a few steps back and stood with Mo Duo.
The ground shook more and more, and the sand and gravel on the ground began to sink into the ground, and the three corpses began to be slowly buried in the sand.
The three war horses, which had lost their owners, had already felt the movement underground. In the instinct of animal survival, they first discovered the danger with Chi Yang and Mo Duo and ran away.
Chi Yang and Mo Duo felt the shaking under their feet getting louder and louder, and the expressions on their faces became more and more gloomy.
"Below...... Someone seems to have it!" Chi Yang said slowly.
Mo Duo nodded: "The situation is unknown, Lord Holy Envoy...... Do you want to stay out of the edge for a while?"
"Don't worry, take a look and talk about it......" Chi Yang shook his head, his feet were lifted upward, there was no borrowing in the air, but he was like stepping on the stairs, step by step, he just rose into the air, and actually hovered in the air.
Mo Duo followed and rose into the air, and the eyes of the two of them stared at the ground beneath their feet.
The ground already seemed to be about to roll over, and the ground under his feet, about a few hundred square meters, had sunk down more than half a meter deep, and the far edge had revealed a damp fracture surface.
The shaking of the ground was confined to this small area, but there was no movement in other places, and the three horses stood on the outer edge of this range, and the three horses' heads were still looking inwardly and curiously.
"Who's the rat, come out quickly!" Chi Yang shouted in the sky with a gloomy face.
No one answered him, and the ground under his feet trembled even more violently.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Chi Yang stretched out a palm and slashed towards the ground under his feet.
As soon as the palm fell, a deep crack appeared on the ground under his feet, directly splitting this piece of shaking land in half, and the earth, which had been intensifying the trembling, suddenly stopped.
Ji Yang's face showed a smile again.
But before the smile on his face could fully bloom, the ground, which had been temporarily suspended, trembled in an even more violent way.
The sand on the ground continued to sink, and the shaking ground had sunk more than a meter deeper than the surrounding places.
At this time, under the feet of Chi Yang and Mo Duo, the small piece of sand suddenly became bright.
Chi Yang and Mo Duo glanced at each other, and then the two of them, at the same time, saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.
"The temperature there...... Raised ......," murmured Murdor.
"You can try it!" Chi Yang said to Mo Duo.
"This ...... Okay!" Mo Duo looked at the treacherous face under his feet and made a difficulty, but under Chi Yangyin's fierce gaze, he could only agree.
Stretching out his right hand, his five fingers were pinched up in the palm of his hand, and a faint silvery-white light lit up.
But then, the light faded again, and Mo Duo's five fingers also retracted.
"Huh?" Chi Yang looked at Mo Duo, and there was a fierce light in those narrow eyes.
"Holy Envoy, wait a minute!" Mo Duo hurriedly explained, and with a move of his other hand, a ray of golden light suddenly appeared on his palm.
"Brain Piercing Golden Needle?Mo Duo, I don't know if this thing is a person! Can you, this Brain Piercing Golden Needle, penetrate his head?" The fierce light in Chi Yang's eyes disappeared, but there was another layer of doubt.
"Holy Envoy don't worry, in this world, only people will do weird things! Even if I can't penetrate his brain, if I stab him a little, I will feel something! As long as I determine his location, the Holy Envoy and I join forces, can we still prevent him from showing up obediently?" Mo Duo sneered, the golden needle in his hand was already pinched in the palm of his hand.
Ji Yang also laughed and nodded approvingly.
Mo Duo's gaze turned to his feet, the piece of land under the feet of the two of them had changed color, and a red halo of light made both of them feel a scorching heat under their feet.
"Go!" With a shout, Mo Duo flicked his wrist, and the trace of golden light between his fingers suddenly turned into a long golden light, like a meteor falling in the sky, accurately concentrating the center of the red land under his feet, and the golden light flashed and disappeared.
Mo Duo and Chi Yang stood in mid-air and waited anxiously, their eyes staring at the land without blinking.
But after waiting for a long time, the ground under my feet was just changing the color from red to red, slowly deepening, and slowly brightening. Now, it's crimson with a little more golden glow.
"Mo Duo, this is ......" Chi Yang looked at Mo Duo suspiciously.
Mo Duo also felt that something was wrong, and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the situation was.
"If something is abnormal, there must be a demon, Lord Holy Envoy, why don't we get out of here first!" Mo Duo, who was cautious by nature, saw that it could become more and more wrong, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he already had a retreat in his heart.
"Ridiculous! You and I are both martial kings. The two Martial Kings, who didn't see anyone, were scared away by this small piece of shaking land? What is there to be afraid of? It's nothing more than a little trick that someone is pretending to be a ghost below, and he can't get on the table at all, what can I do?" Chi Yang also felt that things were unusual, but he was stimulated to be ferocious, and he refused to back down.
"This ......" Chi Yang didn't retreat, and Mo Duo himself didn't dare to go first.
"Look at your little sparrow guts! As you get older, this courage will go back more and more! Where did you go to kill thousands of troops and horses with one sword? Look at me!" Chi Yang taught him unceremoniously, rubbing his palm on his waist, and then picking it up, there was already a soft sword as sharp as a water snake in his palm.
The blade of the sword is very long, a cut longer than the average two-handed sword. And the sword body is soft as a snake, not as straight as an ordinary sword, but like a spirit snake, the slender sword body as thin as paper swayed, and it looked as if it would break as soon as it was broken, but the shining cold light swam away with the swaying of the sword body, and a trace of cold evil qi emanated faintly from the sword body.
"Hidden head and tail of the rat, my silver snake sword has not been stained with blood for five years. If you're lucky today, use the blood of your earth mouse to help me wash this sword!" Chi Yang Yin smiled compassionately, holding the sword in one hand and carrying the other behind him, and slowly walked towards the ground.
His feet were still walking down step by step in the air, obviously empty and had no strength to borrow, but his two feet seemed to be stepping on the stairs, and he walked down step by step.
When he was still about half a meter away from the crimson ground, Chi Yang stopped.
He bent down and looked at the halo on the ground, which had turned golden.
"It's your honor to die under my silver snake sword!" With a cold snort, Chi Yang jumped upward.
Jumping up lightly, Chi Yang's whole body was upside down, with his head and feet, and as soon as he jumped a few meters high, he began to descend.
Chi Yang had a sword in his hand, but the person was still in mid-air, but the sword had already landed first.
The sword body, which was as soft as a spiritual snake, suddenly flashed with silver light, and the entire sword body suddenly became straight. The sword body was a little longer than normal, and the sharp tip of the sword first touched the golden halo.
The moment the two sides touched, Chi Yang, who was slowly descending in the air, suddenly flipped over, and the silver snake sword in his hand, which had become straight, suddenly seemed to conjure up dozens of silver snake swords, and dozens of hands, centered around the golden halo, spreading out to all around.
It was like a plowshare used by a farmer to plough the land, and the dozens of silver snake swords that suddenly appeared around the golden yellow in the center drew dozens of silver-white cracks, slowly moving in the sand, spreading little by little.
It looks like it's very slow, it's like a slow-motion playback, much slower than normal.
But in reality, it's just an illusion. It is a kind of visual illusion formed by the normal eye that after the speed reaches a certain limit, the normal eye cannot adapt to the speed that exceeds the norm too much, and the extremes of things must be reversed.
Mo Duo, who was watching from the sidelines, saw it most clearly.
Almost instantly, there were dozens of silver-white cracks in the strange land below, and from the golden halo under his feet, he spread to the surroundings, like a spider's web, cracking inch by inch.
And Chi Yang, who had completed this qiē, had already regained his normal posture on his head and feet, standing in the center of this spider web suspended in the air, and under his feet, the golden halo and golden light had dimmed a lot because of the cracks.
And Chi Yang's action is not over yet.
The body that was hanging in the air was raised again, and immediately, one of his feet slammed into the ground.
The golden halo in the center finally lost the last trace of dull golden yellow. The power is so strong that it has sunk the entire land. Chi Yang's feet have been retracted, but the deep footprints left in the ground are still expanding its scope, sinking down layer by layer, and in the center, there is already a bottomless pit, and it is still spreading along the surrounding cracks.
Chi Yang looked at the ground under his feet with satisfaction, under his actions, this strange ground had been completely disturbed by him. Around the footprint he stepped on, the whole earth was sinking downward, I believe that even if there are really strange people pretending to be ghosts below, they will definitely not be able to escape from Chi Yang's dense sword net and this earth-shattering kick.
Mo Duo fell downward, and the sound arrived first.
"The Holy Envoy showed his might, and he ...... it in two moves"
Mo Duo, who has always only listened to other people's flattery, just started his sycophantic remarks, and he couldn't go on.
It's not that he doesn't have experience and says he can't get used to it, but the object of his sycophant is suddenly gone.
Mo Duo fled into the sky in a panic, his body soaring ten feet, and he continued to climb.
He could see clearly that Chi Yang, who was still standing in the air and waiting for his ass to pat himself, was suddenly submerged by a stream of mud and sand rolled up from the ground.
What happened to the sediment?
Looking at the ground under his feet, it was originally stirred into a pot of porridge that continued to sink because of Chi Yang's sword and that kick, but this situation did not last long, and now, the ground below no longer looks like the ground, and it has become a vast ocean.
It is indeed like the sea, the mud and sand seem to be alive, and they are all down there, Mo Duo has been to the seaside, he knows the waves, and the layers of sand and waves below, except for the color of the earthy loess yellow, are no different from the waves.
And Chi Yang was slapped underground by a wave of sand.
Having lived in the desert of northern Xinjiang for decades, Mo Duo has never seen such a strange phenomenon as now, when will the sand land become a sea of sand?
Continuing to climb to a height, Mo Duo looked far enough away and finally stopped.
Looking down, the sea of sand on the ground is still rolling, wave after wave.
Except for this area of several hundred square meters, the surrounding area is still a normal flat sandy area. The three horses stood on it, looking out at the waves of the sand in front of them, which they had never seen before. Probably, they were also amazed by the scene they had never seen before.
Mo Duo was not in the mood to think about what the horses were thinking, he was now staring at the strange layers of sand on the ground, and the muscles on his cheeks were twitching again and again.
According to his usual cautious and suspicious nature, what he wanted to do most now was to run away immediately, leave this damn place as far away as possible, and never come back.
