Body 115
"Son, we do see each other indefinitely. Xiong Qingquan waved his hand: "Below is the outer hall manager, only responsible for the miscellaneous affairs outside the courtyard and inside the hall, outside the courtyard door, don't look at the lower management." Good walk. ”
The sound of hooves is heard, and they rush along the path. But far away from the inside, the road was no longer visible.
The light fog was long, the sky and the earth were chaotic, the sun had lost its vitality and turned pale, and when I looked up, I saw that it was gray and dead.
It's smoke, not fog, it's wrong, maybe it's those nearby croppers, burning weeds and rotting, a lot of smoke can't be blown away because there is no wind, deposited in the woods and can't disappear, choking people and horses can't stand it, almost to the extent that it is difficult to distinguish the face on the other side.
Smoke can choke people if you inhale too much. He wanted to get out of the smoke-shrouded place as soon as possible, so he galloped, and this time, he could stand it, but the horse couldn't stand it!
The horse, too, could not stand the smoke of the smoke, and with a violent neigh, he rushed madly into the bushes on the right side of the road, and almost threw him off his horse.
Jumped down and pulled the restless mount, and suddenly found that covering his mouth and nose with a waist towel can certainly reduce some smoke into his lungs.
But I smelled another very special smell, which seemed to be fragrant but not fragrant, and the triple waist scarf could not filter this breath.
"Bang!" Kenma suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
Jiang Xing was stunned, he felt dizzy for a while, and he couldn't stand it.
I sprinkled a soak of urine on my waist towel, and I couldn't care about the dirt, so I covered my mouth and nose again, and the dizziness subsided a little.
His eyes were gloomy, and he settled down and returned to the road, exploring more than ten steps forward, only to realize that something was wrong.
If the mount were to suffer a moment later, even he would suffer, for it was a large pit, equal to the width of the road, and about a foot long, and covered with earth on the flap, which was not delicate, but the power of the men and horses used to gallop in the smoke was astonishing, and it was inevitable that the man would fall into the horse, and there would be no luck.
"!" Jiang Xing cursed in his heart: "They got so many things that can emit such a huge amount of smoke when they are burned. More domineering and terrifying than the poisonous fog, these miscellaneous things really don't hesitate to spend money. ”
There are traces of incense and poisonous fog, but there is no antidote to the smoke emitted by this fierce burning, and the only way to save yourself is to leave quickly, or hope that God will help you to blow the smoke away with a gust of wind.
The smoke is usually light in the air, but there is no wind, and it is more dangerous to lie low, and the smoke accumulates in the woods and grass, and it does not last long. Dangerous on the road, and possibly even more terrifying mechanisms lurking in ambush.
In addition to covering his mouth and nose with a urine scarf, even if Jiang Xing is from the high-tech earth, he has no way, the more he walks, the more air he needs, he can't run wildly with light skills, that will die faster. It's a pity that Hartor and the little mouse are not there...... Settle his mind, Jiang Xing's undefeated god of war protects the vital points, stimulates the mind to stay clear, and gropes to the northeast by instinct, of course, he can't tell the direction, he can only rely on instinct, like a blind man, slowly groping among the trees and grass, trying to waste physical strength, and reducing the demand for air with the slowest breathing technique, hoping to pass through this thick smoke array.
All things in heaven and earth, the simplest and lowest things, are often the deadliest things...... Thick smoke is an example and can be used in large quantities, unlike the Misty Poison Mist, which can only control a very small space.
Jiang Xing remembered what the woman said that the Zhanghe River was ten miles away in the northeast.
Jiang Xing didn't believe that the smoke would spread within ten miles, and if there was a river, there might be wind, and if there was wind, he wouldn't die.
Victory always belongs to those who are calm and calm in danger, and if Jiang Xing runs around aimlessly, it will be difficult to support him for a moment.
When Jiang Xingxian's smoke had gradually faded, the dizziness and nausea were also weakening faster, and the joy of rebirth encouraged him, and he settled his mind and walked towards the thin place of smoke step by step, and his already heavy feet also became energetic.
When he was just out of the smoke array, "poof", Jiang Xing smelled the fresh air, saw the clear scenery, and was extremely tense and couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.
During the same period, Jiufugang Village, 20 miles away, was located in Happy Valley.
There were originally fifty or sixty families in this small village, but in the past two years, some of them have been broken, and some have fled to Xiaomoshan to become robbers.
Some...... In short, there are only about 30 households left, and all of them are old and weak, relying on the already insufficient grain, plus some wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains, to survive, waiting for death.
The Shijia in the west of the village was originally a big household and a grain gentry, the farmers could not pay the grain, and the grain gentry was also unlucky, Uncle Shi hanged himself in a hurry, the fields were confiscated because of the lack of grain, and the family couldn't stand the hunger and cold, and suddenly all disappeared at night when the wind was dark and windy, and the whereabouts of life and death were unknown.
The only person who stayed was the chief foreman Gong Zhi. This Gong foreman has been employed in the Shi family for seven or eight years, a stout and honest bachelor, during the agricultural period, he will brave the heavy snow to go to Fucheng to find friends to mix for a while, no one knows what he is doing in Fucheng, anyway, his life is not good or bad.
A large farm, currently under his own care, in fact, there is nothing to manage, the people in the village almost forgot about him, Gong Date was originally a person who was usually not noticed.
When the long foreman, who was stout and had a simple face, noticed that two beautiful girls wearing swords in strong suits appeared in the courtyard of the backyard, his simple face had a strange and gloomy expression.
"How did you get in?" Gong asked calmly, instinctively tightening the belt of the earthy blue cloth jacket.
"From above. Oriental Magnolia pointed to the roof. If you are a farmer, you must mistake it for a fairy who came down from the sky.
"You are ......"
"It took us more than an hour to find you. People around here know that your name is Gong Yang, and the person we are looking for is called Gong Yang, no wonder we can't find it. ”
"What are you looking for Gong Yang?"
"Is Your Excellency Gong Yang?"
"Yes and what, and what is not?"
"If Your Excellency is Yin Cha Gong Yang, then that's right, we are looking for you. ”
"Why?"
"You should know what we're here for. ”
"On the contrary, I don't know at all, and I don't know if you are fairies from the sky......
"My name is Xiaolan, her name is Xiaofeng, the maid of the free son. Now, you know what we're here for, right?" Dongfang Yulan said, approaching within eight feet: "You are Yincha, you know the affairs of Yin, and of course you also know the results of various accidents in the Yang World, so you should know." ”
"The so-called yin is just a trick to deceive the foolish man and the foolish woman, can you believe it?" When Gong Yang heard that it was the maid of the son of freedom, he naturally knew it: "However, you are looking for the wrong person." ”
"Does Your Excellency denied that it was Gong Yang?"
"I don't deny it. The problem is that the actions of yin and yang have nothing to do with me, and I am just friends with them, not even fellow practitioners. They learn tricks and small magic that they have to use with tools. I, on the other hand, am an authentic Taoist technique that uses cultivation as a practice.
If you meet someone who is a little smarter, they will kill themselves, but I won't, they have to go too far.
Don't come to me, little girl, you don't have enough weight, I have no interest in small fish and shrimp, you can go!"
"Didn't you send someone to invite my son-in-law here?"
"I didn't make an appointment, so I'm looking for the wrong person. ”
"Then Your Excellency knows who made the appointment. "Yes, but I don't want to be nosy. ”
"I beg you. ”
"Hehe, stop dreaming. "I've got no choice, you have to say it. ”
"Hmph! you want to ......"
"I'm sorry, we're going to force you to say it. ”
"Bold, little girl, find me, you are already half dead, and if you dare to be rude to me, you will die.
Hehe, but I don't bother to kill you so as not to damage my Daoji, and I'm going to give you to those who need you. You guys, listen to me well......"
Then, Gong Yang recited a series of strange incantations, and waved his hands lightly as if he were nervous, and his eyes radiated a strange light.
The muttered incantations could not be heard, and the rhythmic dance of the hands was endless.
The little palace master of Ximen shook his head violently, and with a clear sound, he stretched out his hand to draw his sword.
“...... Haste as a law...... Phew!" Yin Cha Gong Yang also suddenly raised his voice, and pointed at the two of them with both hands.
The little palace master of Ximen was shocked, pulled out half of the sword and slid it back into the sheath, his eyes were beaded, the evil aura in his eyes disappeared, and he became sluggish and dazed.
Oriental magnolia is even worse, staggering as if drunk, and I don't know how dark it is.
Soon, a wheelbarrow left Maogangkou Village and pushed up to the official road of Jianli County. More than twenty miles away is Ye Town, the coachman does not seem to be in a hurry, the wheelbarrow, also known as the "chicken car", a wooden wheel and two handles, all rely on people to push, the bearing capacity is limited, the wooden structure is actually impossible to go fast, Gong Yang is also a flesh-and-blood person, not a real yin.
Jiang Xing woke up from the empty dead silence and saw the vast twilight.
The sound of insects chirping all around, the weeds are as tall as people, the smoke has disappeared, and the ground is full of hot air currents, and the residual smell of fireworks can still be smelled.
"Oh my God! I was unconscious for more than two hours. He got up and muttered to himself.
Jiang Xing was finally fully awake, and among those thick smokes, there was another poisonous mist that could make people unconscious, so he was unconscious for more than two hours.
Jiang Xing is an expert in incense and poisonous mist, but he is choked by the smoke and ignores the peculiar smell, if his physique is poor and has no anti-incense poison function, I am afraid he will not be able to faint.
At this time, thinking back to the scene at that time, it suddenly dawned on me.
Finding a stream and washing his dried scarf, he looked at the sky and had a plan in mind.
"No wonder there are no birds or animals in the jungle that area. Jiang Xing muttered: "It turns out that people often use thick smoke to kill people, so even birds and beasts can't survive. Wow, if you don't want my life, I want your life. Hehehe, eradicating your Demon Domain, it will be much easier to level Tai'an Villa and Shura, and Yaoyao's pressure will be much less. ”
Slightly discerning the direction, Jiang Xing walked northeast. It's all tight, it's important to fill your stomach first, anyway, you can't run in the Demon Domain, and it's too late to come back when you're full.
Jiang Xing found the Zhanghe River, where there is a river, there is a village, and in a three-family village on the bank of the river, the people of the same farmhouse buy food to satisfy their hunger.
The owner of the farmhouse entertained him warmly, slaughtered a chicken and baked a few pieces of bread, which he ate with relish.
"Uncle, what is the wilderness in the area of ten miles to the south?" Jiang Xing asked while eating the chicken with his hand.
"Oh, little brother, don't go to that hellish place. The old villager's face was frightened: "It is said to be the ruins of some ancient capital, haunted and haunted for decades, and no one has ever dared to enter." ”
"People can't come back when they go in, they're completely gone, aren't they?"
"Yes! When I was a child, I didn't believe in evil, so I went for a trip, and when I came back, I fell seriously ill for three months, and almost died. "What do you see?"
"A monster, a huge monster like a lone dragon, and a god three feet high, my God!" the old farmer's face turned white: "I swear it is true, if I hadn't hid in the mud and grass of the stream, I would have been swallowed by the monster into that mountain-like belly, and there would be no bones left, it would be terrible." ”
"Do the people of Ye Town know about the ghosts in that area?"
"Of course I know, no one dares to go anyway. ”
Because the gate faces the river, the Zhanghe River, which is more than 30 zhang wide, has greatly reduced its water volume due to a long drought, and the waterway on the river surface has shrunk by half.
A small canoe quietly sailed downstream.
"Hey, there's a boat here?" Jiang Xing asked.
"It's a scooter for a nearby village. The old villager said: "Usually there are few boats moving, and the river bay seven or eight miles downstream, that is, the edge of the ruins of the ghost town, so the boats passing by do not dare to approach the river bay." ”
"Oh! I see. ”
"What did the guest say?" the old villager did not hear him.
"Nothing. "The winding path that he squeaked to the woman led him on, and it seemed that few people walked it, and it was no wonder that he could set up large traps, and usually go in and out of the river, and go by boat in the night, without knowing it.
"Have you ever found a ghost here?" Jiang Xing thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Not really. The old villager laughed: "Who would dare to live if there is?" But in winter, when the wind blows from that side, you can faintly hear the sound of ghosts crying from time to time, and it doesn't matter if you are used to hearing it. We are all people who fear heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and fear will not cause trouble. ”
"I hope so. The meat is full, thank you!" Jiang Xing gave a piece of crushed silver to fill the food, patted his stomach and said goodbye.
"Do you want to bring a lantern?" the old villager kindly suggested: "Walk along the path by the river, about ten miles to the Zhanghe ferry on the official road, and you may get lost if you walk at night." ”
"No need, I've walked this road, remember. ”
After walking thirty or fifty steps, Jiang Xing suddenly jumped into the dense forest beside the road.
Three ghostly black-shirted figures approached the west side of the farmhouse.
"The three families by the river were very timid, so poor that they fed on miscellaneous grains. A dark shadow said: "There are very few people, they will not approach our Demon Domain, and going to inquire will make them suspicious, just take a look." ”
"Hmm! There are lights, and people haven't slept yet. Another dark shadow said, "Keep an eye on it, and you must prevent the ghost hand dragon from touching this side...... What are you doing with my ears?"
"What nonsense are you talking about...... Hmmm......"
"Bang!" fell to one person, followed by a second.
"Hey, there's a ghost...... Uh......" The man whose ears were snapped screamed as if he had been frightened by a ghost.
A burst of cold water soaked his head and face, and the benevolent brother woke up suddenly, but his hands and feet were tied to the ground with wooden stakes and he lost his ability to move, and when he looked up, he could see the sky full of stars, and he could hear the sound of insects in his ears.
"I ...... What's wrong with me? I ......," the brother cried out in surprise.
"You're nailed to the ground. The dark shadow sitting next to him said, "Tomorrow's cold wind must be twice as fierce and cold as today's, and it will be more than twice as cold. ”
"You...... You are ......"
"I want a confession. ”
"Let go of my ......" "The confession satisfies the ghost king, and then I can release you." Remember, your other two companions have been recruited, and this ghost king wants to verify, whose confession is reliable, and the person who recruits nonsense will soak it in the Nine Netherworld water for a day tomorrow. ”
"You can soak people off a layer of skin in half a day, and soak them for a day.
"You...... You want me to recruit ...... Recruit what?"
"Tell me about the Ghost Hand Dragon. ”
"I ...... What I ...... Limited knowledge ......"
"Shall I tell you about your limited knowledge?"
"I ...... All I know is that he brought some people with him,... Delusional search for ...... Find the ...... Magical ...... Illusion, ...... Smoked...... smoked away and settled in Ye Town...... Settle down, probably accurate...... Prepare for tomorrow
Again...... Come again......"
"What is his plan for coming?"
"Yes...... Probably for self-...... The dead ghost of the free child. ”
"Childe is dead?"
"Yes, no...... No one can ...... It can live in the smoke array synthesized by Huxin grass and wolf dung...... Live for half an hour. ”
"Huxin grass and wolf dung?damn it!I see, the body has been found?" "It will take four hours for the smoke to disperse, and it will ...... It will be sent tomorrow morning...... Send someone in to find the body. ”
"Hehe, how can you prove that your confession is the most reliable? It seems that I have no choice but to kill you all. ”
"Please...... Please don't...... I'm my cousin...... Disciple, I have another ...... Message ...... Exchange...... Life. ”
"Say it! See if it's worth exchanging your life. ”
"The neighbor of the sect is yin...... Yin difference Gong Yang, in the evening sent from the two ...... in the son Two maids......"
"Oh, where did the two maids come from? You are talking nonsense, can the smoke array walk?"
Gong ...... Uncle Gong can, he ...... He has a smoke-filtering utensil, what ...... What's more, the smoke has passed...... Over 3 ...... For three hours, ordinary people are ...... I can handle it, I ...... We're ...... It's a smoke array...... Will be scattered, only ...... to come out to patrol. ”
"Where are the two maids imprisoned?"
"Listen...... Listen to what the sect master said, read ...... Reading in the fire unicorn Jiang Zhuang lord to send chariots, horses, gold and silver, the maid to ...... Fire unicorn treatment. The owner of Jiang Zhuang lives in the south palace of the city, and the people should be sent to the south ...... Nangong is up. ”
"Wow! That bastard is hiding here. ”
"It's been three ...... It's been three days, dear...... Friends and family are ...... It's all ...... Only...... Just look for it tomorrow...... Find the corpse of the child...... Body ......"
"He won't leave?"
"Yes...... Spare me...... Uh......"
Yin Cha Gong Yang used a wheelbarrow to send the two maids, and the journey was not smooth, so at dusk, Fang sent people to the Demon Realm Fantasy Realm.
