Chapter 5: The Dangers Hidden in the Black Coffin

At the gate of Taiping County, a neat and solemn convoy was standing quietly on the official road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The person at the head was Gongsun Mubai, the commander of the Tianqi Guard, and standing next to him was a girl dressed in red soft armor, wearing a cloak of animal skin, and carrying a bow and a gun, it was Dugu Yanyue.

The two of them stared at the street of the city gate, and for a long time, Dugu Yanyue couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Gongsun, will this Xiao Gongzi come?" Although Master Xu agreed, I don't seem to be willing to go with us when I look at him. ”

Gongsun Mubai gently brushed a trace of dust from his robe, and slowly replied, "He will come." ”

Dugu Yanyue looked at Gongsun Mubai's very sure eyes, a little surprised, but she didn't say anything more.

A moment later, on the bluestone street in Taiping County, a young man in coarse linen clothes slowly walked out of the curtain, carrying a long black box on his back, it was Xiao Yin.

Dugu Yanyue's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "It's here!"

Gongsun Mubai's indifferent expression suddenly showed a hint of joy.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yin came to the two of them and arched his hand and said, "Lord Gongsun, Dugu girl, I'm here." ”

Gongsun Mubai stroked the three strands of beautiful hair under his chin and said, "Very good, then let's set off." ”

Xiao Yin nodded slightly.

"Let's go!"

One of the Tianqi guards at the head of the convoy let out a low sigh.

Immediately, dozens of Tianqi guards dressed in light armor turned over and mounted their horses, quickly forming an arrow-shaped cavalry team in front of them, opening the way in front.

The rest of the Tianqi guards brushed their bodies and turned, their steps were neat and orderly, and they instantly formed a formation that seemed to be chaotic, but faintly implied a certain formation, escorted a carriage in the center, and then began to slowly walk forward along the official road.

Xiao Yin looked at the carriage in the center of the convoy, and his eyes suddenly lit up slightly.

In front of the carriage were four black horses of great steeds, and behind the carriage was a huge object tightly wrapped in black tarpaulin, about two feet long and eight feet wide, which seemed to be a huge cabinet from its rough appearance.

"Coffin!"

A familiar feeling immediately appeared in Xiao Yin's heart.

"There is such a big coffin! It seems that the purpose of Tianqiwei's trip is to guard such a strange big coffin!"

Xiao Yin's pupils shrank, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.

Seeing Xiao Yin staring closely at the carriage in the center of the convoy, Gongsun Mubai said calmly: "It seems that Xiao Gongzi has already seen what I am waiting for this escort is." ”

Xiao Yin was shocked again, he didn't expect Gongsun Mubai to be able to see through his inner thoughts so easily from his slightly changing eyes.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for hundreds of years, and this Tianqiwei is an extremely mysterious secret guard set up by Emperor Taizu in order to consolidate imperial power and do top-secret things.

According to rumors, the successive commanders were all personally promoted and appointed by the emperor of the current dynasty, although the official residence was only four grades, but each commander not only had an extremely unfathomable martial arts cultivation realm, but also had extraordinary scheming and strategy, and the thousands of heavenly qi guards under his command were secretly spread throughout the thousands of counties and counties in the entire Middle-earth continent, and everything they did was the top secret task of the imperial court.

Looking at Gongsun Mubai wearing a scarf and a Confucian robe, with fluttering clothes, Xiao Yin never imagined that the legendary and mysterious commander of the Heavenly Qiwei was actually the middle-aged scholar in front of him who looked a little sour and rotten.

Gongsun Mubai looked at Xiao Yin and said, "Okay, let's set off too." On the way, I will slowly tell you everything you want to know. ”

After that, Gongsun Mubai took the reins from a Tianqi guard and turned over on a majestic white horse.

Dugu Yanyue also turned over her figure, and got on a jujube red horse, with a sassy posture, and she looked extremely skilled in bow horses.

Then, Dugu Yanyue looked at Xiao Yin with a smile and asked, "Can Xiao Gongzi ride a horse?"

A Tianqi guard handed Xiao Yin a rein and led a black horse to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin shook his head and said, "I've never ridden a horse. I have always been accustomed to walking on my feet. ”

Dugu Yanyue seemed to be a little surprised, and frowned slightly: "This trip is far away, and most of them are rugged mountain roads, if Xiao Gongzi can't ride a horse, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, if so, you might as well find someone to ride with you." ”

Xiao Yin chuckled: "There is a lonely girl who bothered, Xiao Yin grew up in a small county in the mountains, and he is usually used to walking in the mountains and forests, although he can't ride, he will definitely not delay everyone's trip." ”

With that, Xiao Yin bowed slightly, his body moved slightly, and he followed steadily behind the slowly moving convoy.

Seeing Xiao Yin following the convoy unhurriedly, Dugu Yanyue couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Gongsun Mubai.

Gongsun Mubai showed a hint of interest on his face.

And the surrounding Tianqi guards also looked at each other, and couldn't help but turn their heads a little.

Gongsun Mubai raised his horsewhip: "Sui!"

Dugu Yanyue and the Tianqi guards immediately looked straight, quickly formed a formation, and followed the convoy.

Xiao Yin walked slowly into the convoy, gradually getting closer and closer to the carriage in the center.

The huge object that was tightly wrapped in layers of black oilcloth became clearer and clearer in Xiao Yin's eyes.

Whether it was from the marks on the ruts of the carriage, the length, width, height and height of this huge object, and the angle of the oilcloth wrapping, Xiao Yin became more and more sure that this huge object must be a huge coffin.

More importantly, Xiao Yin seemed to feel a trace of cold corpse qi escaping from it. And the Yin Cold Corpse Qi that escaped from this was extremely faint, not even a wisp of it, but Xiao Yin could accurately perceive that this was the Yin Cold Corpse Poison on the two Heavenly Qi Guards he had treated.

Moreover, Xiao faintly felt that this strange coffin brought people a sense of inexplicable danger.

For danger, Xiao Yin seems to have a unique ability to predict.

Xiao Yin himself couldn't tell what was going on, Xiao Yin just vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a serious illness when he was very young, and this illness lasted for a long time, and he didn't recover until he began to remember. It's just that after recovering from the illness, his physique began to become extremely weird, not only his body has been very thin, but also a strange cold aura has faintly grown in the dantian, this cold aura is like a winter insect hibernating, always entrenched in Xiao Yin's belly dantian, which not only makes Xiao Yin's body temperature lower than ordinary people, but also makes Xiao Yin even if he is in the dog days, there is no sense of heat.

This bizarre physique is too weird, so Xiao Yin's parents have always dared not let him contact with others, and they didn't even dare to send it to the school, which made Xiao Yin a very withdrawn strange child in the eyes of others.

Until one day, Xiao Yin passed by Yizhuang on the outskirts of the county by chance and found a corpse in a terrible state on the cart that transported the corpse.

At that moment, Xiao Yin seemed to have discovered something very interesting and interesting, and began to have a strong interest in the corpse, and took the initiative to help the official move the corpse off the cart and send it to Yizhuang, and then saw Xu Fuzi cleaning up the corpse in the morgue hall.

Since then, Xiao Yin's life has entered an important turning point.

No one wants to deal with dead corpses for years, and Xu Fuzi, who was the county official at the time, has always had a headache about his heir, until that day when he saw the glint in Xiao Yin's eyes, Xu Fuzi smiled.

Since then, Xiao Yin has become Xu Fuzi's follower, Xu Fuzi taught him to read and write during the day, and taught him a series of mortuary methods such as collecting corpses, insecting corpses, performing autopsies, and mortuaries.

Xiao Yin, who was originally withdrawn, showed a very high talent for the undertaker in his subsequent life, and within a year, he learned all the methods well, which surprised Master Xu again and again.

However, what was even more amazing was that Xiao Yin secretly discovered that due to his long time dealing with dead corpses, his body was naturally contaminated with a large amount of corpse qi, and these corpse qi could well cover up the strange cold aura that Xiao Yin's body occasionally emanated. This really surprised Xiao Yin, and since then, Xiao Yin has become more and more fond of this industry.

And the surprise is not only these, as he grows older, Xiao Yin finds that his body seems to be very adaptable to the corpse qi, and the corpse qi can not only cover up the cold qi on his body, but also begin to slowly merge together.

At first, Xiao Yin was still a little afraid of this phenomenon, but gradually, Xiao Yin found that the cold qi in his body seemed to like these corpse qi very much, and instead of rejecting them, he began to absorb and devour the corpse qi on Xiao Yin's body, as if a hungry and thirsty person was enjoying a gluttonous feast.

In this way, Xiao Yin didn't find that there was any other abnormality in his body, so he let it go.

However, as the cold qi in his body kept absorbing and devouring corpse qi, Xiao Yin was surprised to find that his body had begun to undergo some amazing changes.

The first is the power of perception, whether it is a fly parked on a tree seven or eight feet away, or a mosquito chirping within a range of one zhang, Xiao Yin can take it all in his eyes and ears.

The second is physical fitness, although Xiao Yin looks a little thin and pale, giving people a sense of weakness and powerlessness, but since the cold qi began to devour the corpse qi, Xiao Yin has never had any illness, and Xiao Yin even feels that his body faintly contains an amazing person, once the performance starts, the strength and speed are far superior to ordinary people.

What shocked Xiao Yin the most was the last thing, that is, the ability to predict unknown dangers.

Because Taiping County is located in Yunzhou, Qingzhou, and the junction of the three states of the state, and the mountains and forests are dense, so bandits are rampant, Taiping County within a radius of 100 miles, there are homicides from time to time, in order to improve the efficiency of investigation, the government requires that after the murder occurs, the government must go to the scene of the murder with the official to find out the clues in the fastest time, and accompany the official to arrest the murderer together.

Master Xu is too old to work like this, so naturally, this matter fell on Xiao Yin, who was still a minor.

However, in the process of hunting for the murderer, Xiao Yin not only did not have childlike immature behavior, but showed a kind of sophistication and intelligence that was different from his peers. Not only can he rely on the superb corpse, the autopsy method can quickly make accurate judgments on the number of robbers, methods, murder weapons and time of crime, etc., and even in the process of pursuit, they can often predict in advance the hidden traces of bandits and the traps that have been set up long ago, which makes the officials arrest quickly.

For this kind of extraordinary maturity and wisdom, only Xiao Yin himself knows that all this is related to the strange cold qi in his body, because whenever there is danger about to occur, the cold qi entrenched in the abdomen will be like a winter insect waking up, and it will begin to produce a violent vibration, like an alarm.

Xiao Yin had never told others about this extremely strange and cold aura in his body, and even his closest parents and Master Xu didn't know that such a magical thing was buried in Xiao Yin's weird physique.

Although Xiao Yin wanted to tell them, the cold breath seemed to know what Xiao Yin was thinking, whenever Xiao Yin had this impulse, the cold breath would show a state of fierce resistance, as if to strongly prevent Xiao Yin from doing so, Xiao Yin was shocked, and even gave birth to the idea of burying this secret forever.

Since then, Xiao Yin has become a legendary young monster in the entire Taiping County.

"There is no dead person in the world who Xiao Yin can't cook. ”

This is the most widely circulated sentence among all the people in Taiping County.

Although this is an after-dinner conversation, it also reveals a trace of inexplicable awe in everyone's hearts for this eccentric boy.

At this moment, Xiao Yin stared intently at the strange black coffin on the carriage not far away, and a familiar sense of danger came to his heart again.
