Mass grave in the north of the city.

It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder. The leaves fell to the ground and made a swishing sound. The autumn wind passes through the cracks and holes of the stones, making a whining sound, such as a wolf crying wolf.

When the three of them arrived, it was already three o'clock.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng carried two lanterns and walked on the mass grave, like two ghost fires. The two of them couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps, and some regretted coming here in the middle of the night.

Li Chengcheng asked: "Do you still remember when you visited the Bohai Sea Kingdom? The situation tonight is no less than that time. ”

Five hundred years ago, the Bohai Kingdom was still one of the seventy-two countries in the world, and if it weren't for a change, I am afraid that the world would be the unification of the Bohai Kingdom.

At the peak of the Bohai Kingdom, the territory was vast, from the Bohai Sea in the east to Ningchuan in the west, with countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and the national strength was even better than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The king of Bohai had a brutal personality and a greedy and murderous nature, with 300,000 iron horsemen, and everywhere he went, there was no grass to grow, and the entire twelve kingdoms of the Northern Regions almost suffered the disaster of annihilation.

However, when the king known as the "Wen Tao Wu Liutian Khan" was about to complete the unification of the north, an unprecedented natural disaster swallowed up the Bohai Kingdom.

According to the literature, on that day, the king of Bohai prepared to send troops to the south and march into the Central Plains. The sky distorted, as if a crack had been split with a sword.

Countless seawaters, like waterfalls, fell through that gap, but in half a day, the entire Shangjing Longquan Mansion was submerged. The flood lasted for 100 days before it receded, but by this time, the entire Bohai Kingdom was already in ruins. After another few hundred years, the mountains and rivers rose and fell, and the Bohai Kingdom became a legend in history.

Six years ago, when Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng traveled, they found a huge stone tablet on a sand dune, on which the stone tablet was written in strange characters Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, and it was determined that this must be the former site of the Bohai Kingdom that disappeared out of thin air on the land back then. At that time, the two of them were young and vigorous, relying on their high skills, and entered the obliterated underground Shangjing City, during which there were many strange things, and even encountered the legendary ghost of the underworld.

Later, he talked to Wang Banxian about this, and Wang Banxian told him that the flood did not come from this world, and it was from that time that Xiao Jinyan learned about the saying that "the sky is round and the place is round" (note), and since then, he has a general understanding of the Shujian Mountain in the southernmost part of the mainland.

Xiao Jinyan was reluctant to talk about this matter, and said: "Don't mention that matter for the time being, let's deal with the current situation first." The two of them were cautious, cheering up their spirits, and looked at the mass graves within a radius of several miles.

Monk Baolu was bold, but he was not afraid of such an environment, and shouted again and again, "Is there someone?

The sound echoed in the empty valley, and it seemed a little bleak. Seeing this, Bao Lu asked again, "Are there ghosts?" He held the Zen staff in the air, "What about ghosts, what about goblins, hurry up and eat my staff!"

Xiao Jinyan saw that he looked like he was crazy, and he regretted bringing him here, and said angrily, "Great monk, if you keep shouting like this, even if there are ghosts, you will be scared away." ”

Monk Baolu thrust his Zen staff into the ground, clapped his hands and smiled, "Interesting, wonderful." ”

The three of them continued to move forward, and inside the mass grave, there were white bones.

Xiao Jinyan said, "If you want to cultivate that stone corpse insect, the mass grave is indeed an excellent place. However, you have also seen the man's methods, and if you do it later, you should be careful. ”

Li Chengcheng said proudly, "Don't drag me down." ”

Xiao Jinyan almost didn't choke to death.

He cleaned up his mind, his heart was clear, and he released the power of the strings in his body to sense and explore the physical objects around the mass grave, the sound of wind, insects, and even the crawling sound of ants, to build a three-dimensional scene, which was reflected in Xiao Jinyan's sea of knowledge.

However, the entire mass grave was empty, and there was nothing particularly strange about it.

Xiao Jinyan wondered, "Could it be that there was a problem with our judgment in the morning?

Li Chengcheng also shook his head, he had also visited with internal force just now, and found no signs of a living person, "His stone corpse insects, if they are not raised by the power of the extreme yin, I am afraid they will not survive." ”

Monk Baolu shouted, "It's strange, how come many cemeteries here have been dug up?"

As soon as he reminded them, the two of them looked around, and sure enough, there were many graveyards with holes the size of a foot, just enough for one person to enter. This is a mass grave, where the corpses are buried or abandoned, all of them are powerless and powerless, and there must be no valuable treasures under the tomb, and they will never be done by tomb robbers.

Monk Baolu said again, "The soil of this cave is still new?"

The three of them leaned over and brought the lantern closer. The entrance to the cave is about two feet, and the soil around it is still warm, and the grass stems are newly broken. Xiao Jinyan made a gesture of silence and said in a low voice, "Is it in this hole?"

He used the force of the strings to sense, and vaguely felt a slight trembling sound in the ground.

Bao Lu said, "Ahhh

"What's wrong?"

Bao Lu said: "Maybe I have a bad stomach in the afternoon, I am a little uncomfortable, I want to." "Immediately, I took off my pants and squatted at the mouth of the hole. Just then, a scream was heard from inside the cave.

There was a rustle.

Countless black insects crawled out of the hole, which frightened Baolu and quickly jumped away. Xiao Jinyan shouted, "Stone corpse worm!" The three of them were on guard and retreated one after another.

Each stone corpse insect was the size of a grain of rice, with eyes the size of a pinpoint on its forehead, emitting a dark green faint light, just one, difficult to detect, but the number of this stone corpse insect was too large, and it gradually moved closer to the three of them, in the dark night, like a mass of ground moss that could move.

There was a screeching sound in the cave.

When the stone corpse insect heard this sound, it suddenly became irritable, jumped up three or four feet, and besieged the three of them, as if to devour them.

Li Chengcheng sneered, and a cloud of white mist spread out from his sleeve, enveloping him, and then the long sword shook out a sword flower in the air, hitting the gravel, sending out a spark.

Burst!

The white mist shrouded him, seeing the sparks, burned, and the fragrance was overflowing, and suddenly countless stone corpses and insects in the air were ignited, making a sizzling sound, and fell to the ground, burning into ashes.

The monk Baolu was a little funny, holding a Zen cane, jumping up and down to avoid the stone corpse insects. These stone corpse insects were a little afraid of the Baolu monk and retreated one after another. If it weren't for the sound drive, it would have dispersed in a hurry.

However, there were too many of them, and one or two bites on him, only to see a golden light on his body, and the stone corpse insect bit on King Kong, and there was no reaction at all.

If it were someone else, he would have been bitten by a stone corpse insect and would have died. However, the Baolu monk is the body of Vajra, and he is also a person in the Buddhist sect, and the reincarnation of the Dragon Venerable, ordinary evil and obscure things cannot be approached at all.

Xiao Jinyan does not have Li Chengcheng's medicinal powder to protect him, and he is not Baolu's King Kong body, so he dodges left and right. The person in control of the cave, seeing that the other two attacks were ineffective, concentrated their energy on attacking Xiao Jinyan, making Xiao Jinyan embarrassed.

Xiao Jinyan shouted as he ran, "Li Chengcheng, hurry up and lend me a little bit of your powder." ”

Li Chengcheng said, "They all said that you don't drag me down." ”

"Ouch!"

Xiao Jinyan screamed and was bitten by a stone corpse insect. He said in his heart that he was going to be finished, but he found that the stone corpse insect fell directly to the ground and died, Xiao Jinyan was stunned, and dozens of insects bit him, and the result was the same as the former.

Only then did Xiao Jinyan remember that the black mamba of the five poisonous boys that day couldn't help himself, not to mention the stone corpse insects that had not really cultivated into the line? After eating the six poisons in Yangzhou, there were few poisonous substances in the world that could harm him.

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "How good I should be, but that's it." This kind of poison should not exist in the world to harm people!" As he spoke, he grabbed a branch, poured internal force, and waved it around, where it hit, the stone corpse insects fell to the ground and died.

The people in the stone cave, seeing that their poison could not trap the three of them, but the stone corpse insects that they had worked hard to cultivate were destroyed by more than half of the three people, and in distress, they jumped out of the cave with a strange scream.

The three of them saw that this person was not tall, his whole body was shrouded in a cloud of black mist, his face was covered with a black cloth, revealing a pair of extremely vicious eyes, staring at the two of them viciously, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who are you, why did you harm my baby?"

Listening to the voice, it is not like the people of the Central Plains.

Xiao Jinyan said awe-inspiringly, "The case of the Li family's grocery store and the Tianma Dart Bureau, as well as the nine-life civet cat Lou Yuanshan, were all killed by you?"

"Yes, what, no, what?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Say it and let you die happily! Otherwise, it will make your life worse than death." ”

"It's up to you?"

Li Chengcheng held the long sword in his hand, "It's more than enough to kill you." ”

The black shadow smiled, and suddenly rushed out, about to flee, but before he could escape a few feet, he saw a Zen staff fall from the sky and hit him on the head.

The staff of Baolu contains a full body of cultivation, if it is really hit, I am afraid that blood will be splashed on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow retreated, and then met Li Chengcheng's sword and struck him in the chest. The black shadow snorted, but fortunately, he did it lightly, his body was distorted, and he avoided this sword, but he did not avoid Xiao Jinyan's palm that came to him.

Bang!

Xiao Jinyan felt that his right palm hit a soft place, and the man screamed miserably, and fell backwards three or four feet away. Li Chengcheng stepped forward, subdued him, and removed the mask from his face with his sword.

The three of them were stunned.

Beneath the mask is a beautiful woman's face.

This woman looks like she is only in her twenties, she is just under a wide black robe, but she is a little weird, and now she shows her true figure, only to see her graceful body, petite figure, but her face is a little pale, and her eyes shoot a vicious color, which makes people feel a little chilled.

Bao Lu said, "Amitabha." "Turn around.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What is the relationship between you and the Western Regions Corpse Demon?"

The black-robed woman said in a vicious voice, "Why should I tell you?"

Syllable!

Li Tingcheng gave her a slap in the face, "I'll give you a chance to reorganize the language." ”

The black-robed woman's eyes were stubborn and refused to answer.

Xiao Jinyan suddenly asked Li Tingcheng, "Brother Li, do you usually kill women?"

Li Tingcheng said, "Don't kill." However, when I see beautiful women, I prefer to disfigure them and make them worse than dead. ”

Xiao Jinyan said that you are too cruel.

Li Chengcheng didn't have a good breath and said, "It's better than you rape first and then kill, and kill and then rape, right?" Or, I'll spare her life first, and when you're done, I'll ruin her appearance?"

The two sang and harmonized, talking nonsense, but the woman was shocked, and she exclaimed: "If you want to mess around, my master will know about it in the future, be careful to break your corpse into ten thousand pieces." ”

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "There are four people here, Brother Li, what would you say?"

Li Chengcheng shook his head.

"Baolu, what would you say?"

Bao Lu said I didn't see anything.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Then you have to do it, you have killed countless people, even if you die here, you deserve it." As he spoke, he walked over to the black-robed woman.

The black-robed woman said, "Slow!"

"Figured it out?"

The black-robed woman said, "I killed them because they deserved it!"

Xiao Jinyan said with interest, "Let's hear it." ”
