Chapter 64: Saving Lives
Even after the previous battle of the county guard, the neighbors in the same street fell asleep at this time, which was the most relaxed time of the day.
You Ziji, Yi Laodao and Xiao Huang took advantage of the night to leave the county guard's mansion, and followed the address provided by Steward Zhou to pursue all the way out of the city.
On the road, Ziji relied on his nose to smell the smell of zombies clearly, but the smell was everywhere, and he couldn't determine the direction.
Russian, You Ziji and others came to a hill, and relying on the moonlight, it could be seen that there was a thatched house there, and a fence was fenced with bamboo.
There are a lot of drying shelves and bamboo sieves in the yard, and You Ziji can't see clearly because of his poor eyesight now, but with his sense of smell, he can probably guess that there are some herbs placed on them.
When they got closer, there seemed to be some other strange smells hidden beneath them, except for the smell of zombies and herbs. This smell is similar to that Gu worm, could it be that there are Gu worms in this yard too?
Yi Lao Dao relied on his own land to escape, and he was not afraid, so he had to lean on the past when he left.
"Daoist Chief, be careful, in addition to Gu worms, there is also the smell of zombies here, maybe the bronze coffin monk is also here, wait for me to explore."
You Ziji stopped Dao Chang, leaned down, twitched his nose, and carefully discerned the other flavors.
"Why is Brother You's nose as good as mine, he won't be a dog." Xiao Huang also sniffed on the side, and indeed found the smell of corpse gas.
"I see that you are a lazy pig, why didn't you say it earlier when you smelled the corpse, how dangerous it is, I almost walked in." Yi Lao Dao shook his hand and was about to beat Xiao Huang with a violent shudder.
"I saw that you walked so confidently, I thought you knew everything." Xiao Huang covered his head and jumped away, hiding behind You Ziji, and didn't forget to fight back.
Yi Lao Dao was so angry that his beard was crooked, but he was afraid of disturbing You Ziji, so he didn't step forward to clean up Xiao Huang.
"The smell of zombies is not strong enough, and the monk with the bronze coffin on his back should not be here. But the soil here seems to have been turned upside down. You Ziji raised his head and said to this old man.
"There's a trap in the yard?" Yi Lao Dao is experienced and has already thought of something.
"You have such a bad nose? I'm going to try and see what the trap is. This time, Xiao Huang didn't smell it at all, so he volunteered to activate the trap.
Yi Lao Dao shook his head and said, "Don't alarm them, we'd better find a way to force the people in the house out." ”
"I had an idea, we burned his yard, the traps here would be useless, and they wouldn't be able to hide in the house. Dao Chief, do you have enough talismans to set fire? ”
"Where do you need so many talismans, look at me." With You Ziji's efforts for half a night, Yi Laodao had a lot of money and many talismans at this time, but there were not many flame types, and it was difficult to ignite the entire courtyard.
I saw that Yi Lao Dao took out his cloth bag, took out the things wrapped in butter paper, opened it and saw that it was all black powder, Yi Lao Dao sprinkled these powders on the nearby places that needed to be ignited, and then he only needed to start a fire to turn this place into a sea of fire.
The vicinity of the fence has been solved, but the yard is really a bit far, and it is difficult to throw it without attracting Li Langzhong's attention.
You Ziji took the black powder, pinched the trick in his hand, puffed up his cheeks and blew it out in one go, so that the black dust covered every part of the yard, leaving only the house unstained.
"Brother You, it's a good means." Yi Laodao praised You Ziji on his lips, and the movements in his hands were not ambiguous at all. He picked up the flint and struck it lightly, and a string of sparks fell, igniting the black powder, and the fire instantly spread throughout the courtyard, and everything in the courtyard burned, and the flames shook for a few kilometers as if it were day.
The blazing flames and dazzling light woke Li Langzhong from his meditation, and he was shocked and a little panicked.
Since Mr. Hong left, he didn't have time to torture Zhou Qing, after all, he still had to treat his injuries after tossing, which was a waste of time.
He only thought about how to fight if he encountered You Ziji in the future, although he hated You Ziji but had to admit the strength of others, under the blessing of Samadhi True Fire in the Valley of the Wind, it was still so difficult, and now that there was no wind limit, it would definitely be even more difficult to deal with, so he didn't rest in the middle of the night, but meditated on the bed, thinking about the way to defeat You Ziji.
When he opened his eyes, the house was surrounded by a sea of fire, which made him think for a moment that he was surrounded.
The only people who could come to him in the middle of the night could be the people from the county guard's mansion, and You Ziji might also be nearby, Li Langzhong didn't dare to slack off at all.
Although Li Langzhong was flustered, he reacted quickly, turned over and got out of bed, picked up his weapon, and picked up Zhou Qing, as long as he had Zhou Qing's talisman in his hand, he still had a chance to escape from the encirclement.
He held Zhou Qing hostage to break open the window, and used his true qi to force away the nearby flames, opening up a fire-free passage.
When Li Langzhong stood still, he saw You Ziji and Yi Laodao standing in front of the courtyard. He controlled the puppets in the Valley of the Winds to fight against Youziji, and naturally recognized Youziji.
He didn't say anything for the first time, but carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed that the opponent was only these two people, so he put his mind at ease.
"Hahaha, you kid is really here, last time you destroyed my puppet, this time I will personally learn your skills."
Hearing this, You Ziji already understood that his guess was right, Li Langzhong was the enemy he encountered in the Valley of the Tempest, so it was no wonder that he wanted to collect the medicine to heal his divine sense.
"Are your headaches getting better?" You Ziji is not in a hurry to do anything with him.
Li Langzhong was holding Zhou Qing in one hand, as long as his true qi was released, he could easily kill her, and in the other hand he was holding a cane with a skull at the end, which looked like Li Langzhong's weapon.
"I'll hit you, and you'll know if I'm recovered."
Li Langzhong pointed forward with the cane in his hand, and purple smoke emanated from the seven orifices of the skull, slowly spreading around, and You Ziji and Yi Lao Dao could clearly hear a small "buzzing" sound from the smoke.
Li Langzhong was also set off by the purple smoke and the flames on the side, and his face changed even more strangely.
"Why is there still a sound in this smoke, could it be that there is a monster hidden under the smoke?" Seeing that the smoke was moving slowly, and there was Youziji by his side, he didn't feel suppressed before the battle, and behaved very calmly.
Yi Lao Dao didn't know, but You Ziji could clearly distinguish what it was through his nose.
"There are indeed alien beasts, but they don't hide them, those smoke are composed of the bodies of countless alien beasts, and the Dao Commander quickly stands behind me and supports it with a thunder talisman."
"Could it be that these are all Gu worms?!" Yi Laodao's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly hid behind You Ziji and grabbed a handful of talismans in his hands.
You Ziji didn't have any subtle way to crack it, since the smoke in the distance was composed of Gu worms, it would definitely be driven away by attacks that threatened their lives.
You Ziji used his splitting palm, he was extremely skilled in this move, and his palm power was loose or condensed, forming a palm power barrier to control the purple Gu worm smoke within a certain range.
Yi Lao Dao received You Ziji's eye signal, and hurriedly took out his lightning talisman. Although the power of this talisman is a little worse than that of his precious talisman, the heavenly thunder and lightning are the most evil and filthy, and the effect is extremely good, and a single lightning bolt will wipe out most of the smoke. There is no need for Youzi Ji to inform the meeting, and the next talisman of Yi Lao Dao has already been thrown over.
After a burst of lightning, the air was filled with a scorching smell, which was very unpleasant, Li Langzhong's face was bruised, but he didn't expect that the means he had carefully prepared were solved by the talisman of an old Taoist priest who practiced qi.
was about to make the next move, but he heard a strange scream behind him, and quickly turned to look.
Li Langzhong was afraid that someone would rescue Zhou Qing, so he had been on guard. It's a pity that Xiao Huang is a weasel, lurking closer, and touching behind others is a common thing for him.
So after setting the fire, it and Youzi Ji Yi Lao Dao acted separately, the two of them attracted Li Langzhong's attention, and Xiao Huang took the opportunity to save Zhou Qing.
It's just that when I first came here, I saw a terrifying scene, the bottles and jars in the room had been opened as early as when Li Langzhong went out, and countless Gu insect larvae crawled out of the clay pots, and when they saw Xiao Huang's flesh and blood, they couldn't help but swarm up and suck the flesh and blood, which made Xiao Huang scream.
Li Langzhong reacted immediately when he saw Xiao Huang's figure, he knocked the ground with a cane in his left hand, and he didn't care about the loss, he released all the remaining purple mist Gu worms, divided them into three parts, and formed a three-layer defense to block the two of Youziji. With his right hand, he put Zhou Qing behind him, wanting to solve Xiao Huang first.
Although their plan failed, their reaction was not slow.
Yi Lao Dao activated several lightning talismans in a row, and the electric light flashed out, annihilating the first layer of defense of the purple smoke, and the powerful thunder and lightning shook the second layer of defense.
You Ziji did not choose to stabilize his body, but took advantage of this momentum to open the way with his hands and break through the third layer of defense.
At this time, the three-layer defense was broken, and Yi Lao Dao, who was closely behind You Ziji, took advantage of the situation to use his talisman combo and secretly replaced Zhou Qing.
You Ziji burst into front of Li Langzhong, which surprised Li Langzhong, and hurriedly protected Zhou Qing back, but You Ziji didn't care about this "stand-in", but reached out and grabbed Xiao Huang and held him in his arms.
You Ziji felt that his hands were slippery, and he looked down in confusion, it turned out that Xiao Huang's hair had been gnawed bald by Gu worms, and his palm seemed to have been invaded by Gu worms.
"What a powerful Gu worm!"
The wanderer used his true qi and forced out the purple mist Gu worm that had entered his hand. I saw a purple gas shoot out from the palm of You Ziji's hand, flying into the flames, and a scorching smell wafted out after a while.
