Chapter 37: Limits Down
"Second Senior Brother, starting tomorrow, I am going to send some disciples to set up a few porridge sheds outside the castle, adding one every day, and stop immediately after half a month, just say that the Beiwu Academy has robbed us of our food, and there is no food available. ”
"In this case, tens of thousands of refugees in the city will presumably hate the Beiwu Academy, even if we don't have to do it, it will make them anxious. ”
Fang Zhizhen stood aside, watching Liu Xuanbo hug and move, like moving a big stone, his qi and blood surged, like a big river, even a few meters away, and the sound of big waves could be faintly heard.
Half an hour later, Liu Xuanbo shook his body, jumped up with a gust of wind, but did not roll up the mud and sand at all, and after spitting lightly, he said lightly: "Listen to the disciples below that the Beiwu Academy is developing fertile fields?"
Fang Zhizhen nodded and said: "It's more than April now, even if you open up fertile land, you can't save the fire from far water......
"So, you're not as good as Zhou Yuan. ”
"Senior brother, I ......"
Fang Zhizhen's face was a little ugly, but he didn't dare to refute, compared to a dead man, no one was convinced.
Liu Xuanbo didn't look at him, picked up the teapot next to him, drank it and said, "Senior Brother Fang, you have to remember that what I want is not a dead city, but a big rear that is enough to become my foundation." ”
"Those bandits, still won't hand over the grain?"
"Senior brother, they have raised the price, not only for 20,000 catties of foreign beast meat, but also for five fist and foot secret methods......"
"I don't have a small appetite, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it. ”
Liu Xuanbo snorted coldly, and then said: "Give them to, the food is the most important thing now, as for the future, I will find them to settle the score." ”
"At the same time, we began to establish residential areas outside the castle, screened Qingzhuang into the martial arts academy, and developed fertile fields outside the city......"
Liu Xuanbo pinched the teapot and said, "As for Shen Yan and the three of them, let them live for a few more days......
He knew that Shen Yan and the three of them had been separated, and once he sneaked attacked, it would be enough to kill any of them.
But he couldn't do that, once he let one go, after he left Beishan County, there would be no one in Nanwu Yuan to resist.
He wants to solve it all once and for all.
......
Ren Qiu stood on a hill, looking at the thousands of civilians below, cultivating fertile fields under the supervision of the disciples of the Beiwu Academy.
Exhaled lightly, wiping the Starfire Sword with a cloth.
He believes that once he breaks through the qi and blood, his strength will usher in a leap, and at that time......
At this time, a disciple came running in a panic: "Ren...... Brother Ren, there is an accident in the city again. ”
Ren Qiu frowned, strange things have happened in the city one after another recently, and some refugees have died inexplicably, but they can't find symptoms.
Up to now, it has become more and more serious, not only the refugees have died inexplicably, but even some disciples have died for no reason.
Very spooky.
At first, it was suspected that the people of Nanbu Temple did it, and after a few days of guarding, no one from Nanbu Temple was seen, but the death continued.
"Who died?"
"It's Senior Brother Zhong and their family...... And the whole yard of people. ”
Ren Qiu bowed slightly, and returned to the Beiwu Academy, where several disciples guarded outside a small courtyard and dispersed the onlookers.
In the courtyard, more than ten corpses were lying on the ground, and Shen Yan stood aside, his brows tightly locked, and his face was gloomy.
"Brother Ren, I'm afraid we're in trouble, we should say...... Beishan County is in trouble. ”
Shen Yan glanced at Ren Qiu and said in a deep voice: "A few times before, I didn't care about it, but now I can basically determine that there is something strange at work." ”
"Weird?"
Ren Qiu's eyes moved, and when he heard this word for the first time, he felt a chill inexplicably, as if this word represented terror.
"Brother Ren, have you ever heard of xenomorphs? In fact, it is what we often call a monster, its strength is very terrifying, even if it is a martial artist with blood like a rainbow, it can't deal with it, only a strong person above the foundation can suppress and kill. ”
"Any xenomorph will continuously pollute the surroundings, forming a large-scale mutation, and this is how the alien beast is formed. ”
"It's a different kind of species, and it's also a weird one. ”
Shen Yan looked bitter and said, "Actually, I haven't seen it either, I said it when the master was there...... Any weirdness can turn a place of life into a place of death. ”
"The weirdness is strange, and the environment it produces is also extremely harsh...... In our Beishan County over the years, natural disasters have continued, coupled with man-made disasters, bandits have killed countless people, countless refugees have flocked to it, and resentment will inevitably accumulate. ”
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Once it is allowed to form a climate, I am afraid that the entire Beishan County will be wiped out." ”
"Senior Brother Shen, I've brought something. ”
Han Zhen came quickly, holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
Shen Yan took the box and opened it, took out a scroll of unknown leather from it, and slowly opened it, a faint fragrance spread, which made people feel refreshed.
At this time, the dozen or so corpses also changed, and the already iron-blue body actually began to slowly turn black.
"This is the master, when he left Dingzhou, the master gave the monk annotation, which has the effect of destroying evil and concentrating, and has been enshrined in the shrine of Beiwuyuan, but I didn't expect it to be used today. ”
Shen Yan's qi and blood surged, gently stroking the scriptures, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger for a while, like osmanthus incense, and like sandalwood, and even produced an illusion after smelling it for a long time, as if there was a monk whispering in his ears.
The corpses on the ground are getting darker and darker, and even black water is flowing out, and the smell is extremely fishy, dripping on the ground, like high-strength sulfuric acid, and the sand and gravel on the ground splash patches of smoke.
Half a quarter of an hour later, all the corpses melted, accumulating into a black water beach on the ground, and the three of them quickly retreated, not daring to touch.
"Burn this yard down. ”
"Also, disciples who have come into contact with the corpse are not allowed to leave the sutra for a hundred meters from now on...... The disciples who had come into contact with other corpses before were all forbidden to go out. ”
Shen Yan's face was pale, as if he was overconsumed, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "This can only be the case...... Let Brother Ren smile. ”
Ren Qiu wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say a word.
He had too many questions, but looking at Shen Yan's weak appearance, it was difficult to speak, and finally pressed it in his heart.
After sending Shen Yan back to rest, Han Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ren, you don't have to worry, once the matter is irreparable, we will be gone, is it possible that the weirdness can still follow us?"
"How weird are these?"
"Anyway, it hasn't happened in Beishan County, even in the surrounding neighboring counties, this has never happened, otherwise this place would have become a dead place a long time ago. ”
After a pause, he said: "I've heard the master say that there are a lot of them in Dingzhou, and weirdness is also a resource...... Otherwise, so many big forces and sects would not have gathered in Dingzhou. ”
Weirdness is also a resource?
Ren Qiu thought of xenos, that is, monsters, and in Shen Yan's words, xenobeasts were infected by xenomorphs, which led to mutations.
The xenomorph itself should also be a valuable resource.
It seems that I still know too little about the world.
At the same time, I am glad that I did not rush to Dingzhou, otherwise I would have been caught off guard when I encountered this situation.
......
At night, a few sparse stars loomed in the clouds, Ren Qiu was refining his strength in the courtyard, and his ears suddenly moved, and he heard a little rustling movement.
At first, I thought it was a disciple patrolling, but soon I felt that something was wrong.
The wings of his nose trembled slightly, and a faint stench was blown by the wind, and a pimple surged on his skin, and a warning hit his heart in a frenzy.
Even the sword species was trembling slightly, as if it was about to break out of the air.
The uncontrollable surge of qi and blood became faster and faster, like a dam bursting its banks, shaking his muscles.
"What's that, sneaky...... Come out. ”
The ground exploded, and the people rushed out, and the Starfire Sword broke out of its sheath, slashing at the wall, and it collapsed with a 'boom'.
Then I saw that more than ten disciples fell on the ground, all of them were blue and breathless, and one of them was still a disciple with blood like lead.
A dark shadow flashed, and there was a sparse murmur in my ears, as if dozens of people were laughing, men and women, old and young.
"Pretend to be a ghost and look for death~"
Ren Qiu's face twitched, and he snorted coldly and chased after him, the dark shadow shuttled in the shadows, sometimes rushing into the small courtyard, sometimes scribbling along the wall, not in a hurry, very weird.
It's deliberately seducing me......
Ren Qiu paused, and immediately stopped, and sure enough, the dark shadow surged on the ground, as if he was curious, why Ren Qiu didn't chase after him.
Then in a flash, he threw himself into a nearby courtyard, and a scream rang out.
Ren Qiu turned over and climbed over the wall, and when he looked inside, dozens of refugees poured out in terror, as if there was terror in the house.
Pondering slightly, holding the hilt of the sword tightly, the qi and blood were covered all over his body, and he jumped down, about to enter, when suddenly an old lady fell, staggered a few steps forward, and grabbed his wrist.
Then, as if she had been scalded by boiling water, the old lady screamed, kept shaking her hands, and Queen Cang retreated.
The alarm exploded in his heart, the cold light flashed, and he killed the old lady in an instant, and then he heard a soft sigh in his ear, and the dark shadow flashed and disappeared into the night.
"Kill, kill......"
The refugees exploded in an instant, swarming away, for fear that Ren Qiu would kill.
Ren Qiu glanced at his wrist, and there was a faint coldness, where the qi and blood seemed to be stagnant, his face was gloomy, and he looked at the corpse on the ground.
Weird?
The stench between the noses has dissipated, but the faint cold is still around, so I dare not continue to stay, and carefully withdraw.
Fang just walked out of the alley, and saw Shen Yan rushing over, and when he saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Ren, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go, it's not good to stay here. ”
Ren Qiu nodded slightly, looking at Shen Yan who was getting closer and closer, especially when there was nothing in his hand, his heart suddenly moved, and said, "Brother Shen, how is the sun tonight?"
When Shen Yan heard this, he didn't raise his head and said: "It's also strange, tonight's sun is bigger than yesterday, and it looks like tomorrow will be a sunny day." ”
Sun......
The corners of Ren Qiu's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, held the hilt of the sword tightly, and said with a smile: "Then have you eaten lunch?"
"I haven't eaten yet, aren't you waiting for you to go back and eat together?"
