Chapter 1 The Strange Affair of Tanzhou

Next Chapter

In the Great Jin Kingdom, there is a cyan hill in Yanfeng County, Tanzhou.

Because of the winding mountain, it looks like a green cow lying on the ground from afar, and is called "Funiu Mountain" by people.

At this moment, it is the rainy season in the middle of summer, and the entire mountain is shrouded in a continuous smoke and rain, as if the ink painting is infected, and the heaven and earth merge, and it is hazy.

In a wide col at the foot of Funiu Mountain, there is a stream that is a few feet wide and flows out of the mountain, because of the continuous rainfall, the water potential is much larger than before, and the stream looks a little muddy.

More than 10,000 people dressed in mud were slowly walking upstream along the mountain road next to the stream, each with exhaustion written on their faces.

The crowd was also mixed with many cattle, sheep and livestock, walking and stopping, from time to time bowing their heads to chew a few mouthfuls of weeds on the side of the road, and drinking a few mouthfuls of stagnant water in the mud pits, without feeling the anxiety and tiredness of the owners.

On both sides of this huge team, there were some officers and soldiers with swords at intervals, guarding the safety of the people, urging the speed of progress, and from time to time they had to help drive the chickens and ducks back to the team.

At the front of the line, there was a group of cavalrymen dressed in black armor, all of them tall and strong, looking very burly and powerful.

One of them carried a large flag with the striking word "iron" written on it.

Walking to a dense woodland, a tall man led by the black-armored cavalry raised his arm and clenched his fist, signaling the team to stop advancing and rest in place.

The people, who had long been exhausted, gathered together and hid in the dense forest.

An old widower dressed in a straw robe, drove his five sheep under an ancient locust tree, squeezed into the flock, and shrank to borrow a little warmth.

But as soon as he approached, one of the sheep bleated and staggered deeper into the woods.

The old man got up and cursed, and hurriedly chased after him.

I saw the sheep walk up to an ancient tree, lingering, bleating.

"Poof".

The ancient tree trembled strangely, and the surface of the dry cracked body suddenly burst out with colorful light, and it became brighter and brighter, turning into a dazzling ball of light in a moment.

"Oops! the gods have appeared......"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then trembling forward, plopped, fell to his knees, and shouted loudly.

When the surrounding people heard the sound, they all looked over there, and after seeing the situation clearly, they all followed closely and surrounded them, kneeling down in a circle, and shouting loudly.

However, at this moment, there were colorful lights everywhere in the dense forest, almost all the people were surrounded by them.

Seeing this, the tall man at the head was full of suspicion, and hurriedly instructed a herald beside him:

"Something is wrong, give the order immediately, get out of here!"

As a result, as soon as his voice fell, a sudden change occurred!

In the distance, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the sky, as if it was a spring thunderstorm, and it seemed that some giant beast was rapidly approaching.

The tall man was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction he came.

I saw that in the shaking of the ground, a gray wind was mixed with countless gravel and soil like a huge wave, and in an instant it reached the edge of the woods.

"Help"

"Run"

......

In the midst of the screams of the people, the wind overturned a large area of the forest, and countless broken branches and rocks flew in all directions, causing the people in the forest to be caught off guard by their flesh and blood, and howling miserably.

There was chaos in the dense forest, and the broken branches of the trees were wrapped together with the dust and mud, making it completely impossible to see the surroundings.

"Quick, go and save people......" The tall man roared loudly against the wind.

The black-armored cavalry under his command immediately turned over and dismounted, and rushed towards the interior of the dense forest against the strong wind.

At this moment, the colorful lights in the dense forest suddenly flashed down one after another, turning into a piece of red blood light, enveloping the entire dense forest.

Under the shroud of blood, some people began to scream, only to see that the flesh and blood on everyone's bodies began to dissolve at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the bones of Bai Sensen.

Suddenly there was a scream in the dense forest, and there was a loud scream, but after a while, there was no sound at all, leaving only a white forest with dry bones, which were swept by the strong wind, and turned into powder.

Only the tall man on the edge of the dense forest witnessed this, his whole body cold, and his eyes were split.

The silver-white sword hanging from his side suddenly let out a trembling sound, and a snow-white light lit up, barely protecting him around him, blocking the blood light that rolled out of the forest.

However, the next moment, only a "bang" was heard, and the body of the long sword suddenly trembled and then broke apart.

The man only felt that the qi and blood around his body were surging, and his consciousness became a little blurred, although he was protected by the white light of the sword body, the skin on his body still cracked on its own and opened dozens of wounds, gurgling blood continued to gush out, and the blood on his face turned pale in an instant.

Frightened, he hurriedly pinched the horse's belly, urged the war horse under him to gallop away in the direction he came, leaving a blood mist behind him.

When the wind in the dense forest died down, the blood was gone, and the ground became a mess.

However, the cattle, sheep, livestock, chickens, ducks, and birds were all unharmed, wandering in place without a master.

It's just that their masters, the tens of thousands of people and the black-armored cavalry, have all disappeared.

......

Ten days later, it was noon.

More than 50 miles outside the city of Tanzhou, there is a sandy land with a wide area, on which the green vines spread and the green leaves are covered, and a large area of green watermelons is planted. A swarthy old man dressed as a farmer, holding a hoe with a willow handle, slowly carved out ravines in the sand along the ridges of the vines.

Some time ago, the continuous rain washed out all the drainage canals in the field, if it is not repaired in time, if there is another rain, the field will be waterlogged, and the watermelons that have not yet grown will be completely soaked.

The old man helped the broken straw hat on his head, scolded the ghost weather, and suddenly felt a little itchy on his forehead, thinking that it was hot and sweating, so he pulled down the shabby towel around his neck and wiped it off his forehead.

However, as soon as his hand grabbed the towel, his body involuntarily froze in place, unable to move at all.

The old man's face was frightened, his mouth was open, but he couldn't make a sound.

At this moment, a red thread suddenly appeared on his forehead.

I saw that the blood light on the red line was bright, and the skin and flesh in it were split, and it was forcibly broken to both sides.

The old man's eyes first opened suddenly, and then the whites of his eyes turned upward, completely losing his brilliance, and the frightened look on his face disappeared immediately, becoming blank.

In the split flesh on its forehead, a blood-red eyeball the size of a dragon's eye protruded from it.

I saw it spinning around, looking around for a moment, and suddenly with a "poof" sound, the old man's forehead was protruded, and he flew out directly.

Behind it were strands of silver thread, like slender hair, connected to the flesh of the old man's forehead.

As the blood-red eyeballs flew into the air, the dense silver threads were pulled out of the body little by little, turning into a cloud of silver brilliance, enveloping it.

The old man's body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a handful of dust and scattered it into the melon field.

Under the wrapping of silver light, the blood-red eyes hung high in the air and slowly turned, looking in the direction of Tanzhou City.

I saw that the silver light on it suddenly flashed, and it disappeared from the spot, and the next moment it appeared dozens of feet away.

And so on and so forth, until it is far away and gone.

......

At the same time.

Outside the city of Tanzhou, on the bank of the Luofu River.

An ebony boat drifts away in the river.

At the bow of the boat stood a man, with his back to the shore and his hand propped up a penny, as the ebony boat descended the water.

There was a petite and pretty figure standing on the shore, she looked at the ebony boat that gradually disappeared in the mist in the distance, her originally tense cheeks suddenly trembled, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Why don't you want me to come with you......" she murmured a little grumblingly, but her voice was so low that only she could hear it.

The delicate woman watched the ebony boat disappear from sight completely, and then turned around a little gloomily, and only took a few steps, she suddenly looked up at the sky, and wondered: "What is that......"

I saw that the full moon in the sky was suddenly blurred, and in a trance, a silver-white light cluster separated from it, like a twinkling star, flying towards this side brightly and darkly.

The closer I got, the clearer I could see, the edges of the silver light cluster blurred, as if countless tiny tentacles were shaking violently.

At this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed above the light cluster, revealing a blood-colored eyeball, from which wisps of silver silk suddenly extended, like a comet dragging a slender tail, shooting towards her.

Seeing this, the pretty woman had a white light on her body, her toes were on the ground, and her body slid back dozens of feet rapidly, and after drawing a series of ripples on the water surface of the Luofu River, she stopped in the center of the river.

But at this moment, a strange scene appeared.

The silver silk thread that seemed to rush straight suddenly turned back in mid-air and condensed together, like a white python that instantly rushed towards the woman, enveloping her in it at once.

With a strange sound of "bang", a large white wave of water swept away in all directions around the woman.

However, instead of being swept into the bottom of the river by the silver thread, she was empty-footed, and her whole body floated in the air and left the river.

"Hmm......," she let out a whimper of pain.

Strands of silver filaments wound upward, enveloping her like a silkworm cocoon, leaving only her head bare.

She only felt that her body was bound by an invisible force, and she couldn't move at all.

At this moment, the blood-colored eyeball on the other end of the silver silk thread suddenly flashed blood, and flew towards her. The pretty woman was terrified and let the eyeball slam down on her brow.

"Ah......h

In just a moment, her screams came to an abrupt end.

I saw that the blood light at the center of his eyebrows was like a spiritual spring, and the blood-red eyes slowly sank into it and gradually squeezed in.

Immediately after that, all the silver threads wrapped around her body also began to shrink rapidly, desperately converging towards the ball of blood light, and all of them were submerged in it.

After the blood light fused with the last strand of silver, it disappeared completely in a flash. The woman who was originally bound suddenly let go, and the whole person staggered, and took a few steps backwards before she could stabilize her figure.

All the abnormalities at the center of his eyebrows disappeared, except for an extra red mark like a flower in thin air.

And the brightness in her eyes darkened, and her beard lit up again, but there seemed to be something more in the depths of her eyes.

"The target has been discovered, the imprint has not yet inspired ......"

The woman suddenly turned around, looked in the direction of the lower reaches of the Luofu River, and said something calmly.

With that, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, and the pear vortex on her face sank slightly, revealing a slightly stiff smile.

What is strange is that there are two lines of tears in her eyes, rolling down, and she can't stop at all.
