Chapter 59: Guo Zhuang
What appeared in front of Ye Lei at this time was a big man, and the most surprising thing was that this person had a thick layer of calluses on his hands, and even the palm prints were completely invisible. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Brother Liu Qing, long time no see!" At this time, it was no one else who came here, it was the centurion who had tried with Ye Lei at the beginning, the Iron Fist Liu Qing, after Ye Lei became a disciple of Hengshan, this Iron Fist Liu Qing has been staying in the Iron Eagle Army.
"Are you Brother Ye Lei?" Liu Qing looked at Ye Lei in front of him in disbelief, "It's really Brother Ye Lei, I didn't expect you to come back to see us!"
"Big brother, where are you talking about this, I was originally from the Iron Eagle Army, if it wasn't for the Iron Eagle Army, how could I successfully enter the Hengshan Sect?" Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing and said, "By the way, is Brother Wu Feng okay?"
When it came to Wu Feng, Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, but this moment quickly disappeared, but Ye Lei still captured this scene.
"Brother Liu Qing, something shouldn't have happened. Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing and said with a somewhat serious face, "Big brother, I have become a beginner martial artist, I didn't feel the breath of Brother Wu Feng when I first came in, is something wrong?" ”
"What's the matter, Wu Feng is just on a mission!" Liu Qing looked at Ye Lei and said, "You should also know that Wu Feng is now our 100th centurion, how could something happen?"
"Oh, have you gone out on a mission?" Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing, as a killer in his previous life, he could see that Liu Qing was hiding something from him, but it was not easy for him to debunk.
"Yes, there was a tricky task a few days ago, we ordinary centurions can't deal with it, so we can only Wu Feng make a move, but Wu Feng is really powerful, after you left, he overturned all our centurions with a wild wolf fist, and now it can be said that it is the idol of every soldier. ”
"Okay, in that case, Brother Liu Qing, you can take me to the place where Brother Wu Feng lives. Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing, and Liu Qing's expression had betrayed him at this time.
"Brother Liu Qing, you better say it. Ye Lei took a sip of tea at this time, "What happened to Brother Wu Feng." ”
"Well, it seems that I can't hide it from you. Liu Qing sighed at this time, "Only our centurion knows about this matter, and in order to avoid chaos in the army, this matter has not been spread." ”
"A few days ago, a task was explained above, saying that something strange happened on the edge of Yizhou City. Liu Qing said at this time, "At that time, I thought there was nothing serious, so I sent a team of people to take a look, but this team has not been heard from since." ”
"No news?" Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing suspiciously at this time, "Could it be that someone still dares to attack our Iron Eagle Army?"
"I didn't know, we were surprised at the time, so we sent a few more squads, but, without exception, none of the squads survived, and the enemy seemed to know what was going on on our side. ”
"You mean, there's a good chance we've got an inner ghost here. Ye Lei said with a calm face at this time, "So in order to investigate this matter, Brother Wu Feng went out alone, am I right?"
"What you said is not wrong, before Wu Feng left, we specially asked him to leave a trace of soul mark here, this soul mark is synchronized with his life, once the soul mark disappears, it means ......"
"It also means that Brother Wu Feng's life is not guaranteed. Ye Lei slapped the table at this time and stood up, "Brother Liu Qing, how is Brother Wu Feng now!"
"Just two hours ago, Wu Feng's soul mark disappeared. ”
Hearing this, Ye Lei's whole person was stunned, he was in the Iron Eagle Army, and his real brothers were the few people around him, and Wu Feng was undoubtedly the most special one, usually Wu Feng didn't say much, but he would do everything perfectly, which was also one of the reasons why Ye Lei trusted Wu Feng very much.
"I'm going to see where that place is. Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing at this time, "Brother Liu Qing, you just need to tell me the location, if Brother Wu Feng can't save his life, at least there are innate martial artists." ”
"It's going to be even higher. Liu Qing looked at Ye Lei and said, "Wu Feng has successfully broken through the innate last year, but he has never chosen to enter the Hengshan faction. ”
"Brother Wu Feng has broken through the innate nature!" Ye Lei looked at Liu Qing, "Why don't we know about this matter?"
"Don't talk about you, only I know about it. Liu Qing said, "Wu Feng didn't want to talk about this matter at the beginning, he was worried that there would be some troublesome things, the army is full of acquired martial artists, if he is there, things will be easier." ”
"What about Nangong senior, isn't he here?" Ye Lei said.
"Nangong seniors have already left the Iron Eagle Army after you entered the Hengshan faction, and Nangong seniors specially instructed Wu Feng to be the manager of this army when they left. ”
"Damn, how could this be. Ye Lei clenched his fists at this time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Liu Qing, I have to go to that place to see." ”
"Okay, I'll take you there!" Liu Qing looked at Ye Lei at this time, Wu Feng's death was actually the most uncomfortable for Liu Qing, in the past few years, Wu Feng and Liu Qing were like brothers who didn't know each other, Wu Feng, who didn't talk much, was very sincere to others, and Liu Qing was also a cheerful person, and these two people naturally became good friends.
"No, you just have to tell us the address. Ye Lei said, "This is my friend, Feng Wu, and this is Chitu, one of my demon beast companions, if they are there, they should be able to discover something." ”
"Demon beast partner!" When he heard Ye Lei introduce Chitu, Liu Qing was also stunned, he didn't expect Ye Lei to be so strong that he had a demon beast as a partner.
Subsequently, Liu Qing told Ye Lei the location of the mission, and Wu Feng According to the spies, all the soldiers disappeared in one place, a place called Guozhuang on the edge of Yizhou.
Then, Ye Lei quickly whipped up, according to Liu Qing, this place called Guozhuang is in a very remote place in Yizhou, this place is difficult to find, and you need to climb three mountains to be able to see it.
However, Ye Lei was already a martial artist at the beginning of martial arts at this time, and coupled with the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse, he soon came to this place called Guo Zhuang.
"Ye Lei, do you feel that this place is very weird. After coming to Guozhuang, Feng Wu had a feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with this place, but he couldn't say it.
"Well, there's something wrong here. Ye Lei frowned, this place felt a little gloomy to himself, as if the people in the village were not resting well, everyone was listless.
"Uncle, let me ask, what kind of place is this?" At this time, Ye Lei could only pretend to be an ignorant passer-by and ask these people.
"You're from out of town, this is Guo Zhuang, but judging by your appearance, you should be lost in the mountains. The old man looked at Ye Lei, "Everyone who comes is a guest, let's come to my house for a cup of tea first." ”
At this time, the old man pulled Ye Lei towards his home, but Ye Lei's brows kept frowning, because the old man's hands were cold.
"Old man, how old are you? Ye Lei could only pretend to look at the old man casually at this time, "How do you feel that this place is not very lively." ”
"The young people are all out, how can it be lively. The old man glanced at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Young man, I am eighty years old this year, I know, you must want to ask where my children have gone." ”
"Yes, looking at you and your mother-in-law, you should be very old, in this case, your children should be by your side to serve you. ”
"My child is a martial artist. The old man looked at Ye Lei and said, "He is our pride." You must know that it is difficult for the entire Guozhuang to produce a single martial artist. ”
"Oh?" Ye Lei looked at the old man at this time, he knew very well that if it was an innate martial artist, it would indeed be a little difficult, but this acquired martial artist could be done by everyone, let alone in this world.
"Guys, since you're here, let's have a meal at the house. At this time, the old man's wife looked at Ye Lei and the others and said, "There are no good things in the old man's house, it just so happens that today is the old man's birthday, and he made a bowl of wonton noodles, you can also taste it." ”
At this time, the old man directly brought a few bowls, which contained a few wontons and half a bowl of noodles, and placed them in front of Ye Lei and the others.
"Then there will be more old people. Ye Lei looked at this bowl of noodles at this time, there was no heat on his face, and it didn't look like he had just come out of the pot at all.
"It's so hot!" At this time, the old man seemed to be scalded by the wontons, "It's been so long, it's still so hot." ”
"You old thing, you look like this every time you have meat to eat. At this time, the old woman looked at Ye Lei and the others and said, "Little brother, you can eat too." ”
"Okay, then we're welcome!" At this time, Ye Lei also sandwiched a wonton, but when this wonton touched his mouth, Ye Lei actually put down his chopsticks directly.
"It's really hot!" Ye Lei looked at the old man at this time, "It seems that I can't eat this thing in a hurry." ”
At this time, Ye Lei hurriedly gestured to Feng Wu and Chitu, telling the two of them not to eat the bowl of wonton noodles in front of them, and the two of them saw Ye Lei's gesture, and they did the same, and did it again according to Ye Lei's appearance.
"Oh, I just remembered, I still have something, in this way, except for this wonton, I haven't touched anything else, I'll take this one away, old man, you eat it slowly. ”
"Okay, in that case, we won't keep you. ”
Afterwards, Ye Lei hurriedly left the house with Feng Wu and Chitu, and left Guo Zhuang as quickly as possible.
"Ye Lei, what's going on, why don't you let us eat that wonton?" Coming to a remote place outside Guo Zhuang, Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei and asked.
"You didn't eat it, I just touched that wonton to my lips, look at the way I look now!"
At this time, Ye Lei turned around, and Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei's lips, which turned a little purple, as if he had been poisoned.
"How can this be, could it be that the family poisoned the wontons just now?" Feng Wu said, "It's impossible, the two of them are still very happy eating." ”
"No, it's not a deliberate poison they did. Ye Lei said, "Do you remember, the old man said that the wontons were very hot, but when I touched the ravioli, I found that they were not hot, and on the contrary, they were very cold. ”
"It's cold!" At this time, Chitu was also stunned, "It's impossible, the old man still said that it was very hot, and you also said that it was not the old man's intentional poisoning, could it be that the things they ate were poisoned?"
"To be precise, it's not poisonous, but to us, it's extremely poisonous. Ye Lei said, "If I'm not mistaken, those two old men are not alive. ”
"Don't be kidding, how can you move if you're not alive?" Chitu said.
"You also know what kind of weather it is now, in such a hot weather, the old man's hands are cold, and they are also worried about being burned when they eat such cold wontons, it is obvious that they are not alive. ”
"Maybe it's just the effect of the toxin. Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei and said, "By the way, what should you do with the poison on your lips?"
"This is not an ordinary poison, if I am not mistaken, this is the legendary corpse poison!" Ye Lei frowned at this time, and then took out a pill from the ring and ate it, after a simple conditioning, the purple on his lips disappeared.
"Corpse poison?" Chitu and Feng Wu were stunned at this time, they had never touched this thing, and they had never even heard of this poison.
"That's right, as far as I know, when a person dies in a coffin, it must be tightly sealed, and there must not be a single gap, and then it must be buried in the ground, so as not to let the air in. ”
"However, accidents will always happen, and there is such a group of people in this world, who specialize in robbing tombs for a living, stealing other people's burial belongings, and then exchanging them for their own benefits. Ye Lei said, "And when these people rob the tomb, they will put a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb, and if the candle is extinguished, they will give up the treasure in their hands." ”
"Wait, what does this have to do with corpse poison?" Chitu looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, but, then, Chitu's expression also became a little nervous, "Wait, you said that there is a candle in the southeast corner, could it be ......"
"That's right, once the candle is extinguished, it means that the corpse qi in this tomb is flowing, and the source of the corpse qi is these dusty corpses. ”
"Once these corpses come into contact with the yang energy of a living person, they will undergo a qualitative change, produce a new soul, and become zombies, and zombies can't remember what happened in front of them at all, and only have one instinct, that is, to absorb the yang energy of the living. ”
"At the same time, there is also a toxin on the body of zombies, that is, corpse poison, and the two old men we just came into contact with are not living people at all, but zombies!" Ye Lei looked at Feng Wu and Chitu at this time and said, "As for corpse poison, it should be that they accidentally got it when they were preparing that bowl of noodles." ”
"Wait a minute, you said that zombies only have one instinct, but how can these two old men still communicate with us?" Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei and asked, "Shouldn't they directly absorb our yang energy?"
"This is the more serious situation!" Ye Lei calmed his face at this time, "This is also the reason why I want to leave that place immediately, to be able to generate wisdom, which means that these two are no longer ordinary zombies." ”
"Ye Lei, where did you know these things?" Chitu looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Why haven't we heard of these things?"
It's normal that Chitu hasn't heard of this kind of thing, Ye Lei can know this, and thanks to the books he had read in his previous life, Ye Lei once saw an ancient book, which recorded something about corpses.
"These are all things I have seen from ancient books. Ye Lei didn't have time to explain at this time, "We'll leave right now, if I'm not mistaken, we've been targeted." ”
"What do you mean?" Chitu looked at Ye Lei, "Can these zombies still find us?"
"Zombies can produce intelligence, there are only two situations, the first is that this zombie has become a monster-like existence, with its own consciousness and wisdom, such a zombie can no longer be regarded as a corpse, but a humanoid monster, however, there is another situation. ”
"Another situation, what is that?" Chitu said as he looked at Ye Lei at this time.
"That is, these zombies are not isolated individuals, they have their own masters!" Ye Lei said seriously at this time, "If that's the case, this matter is really bad. ”
"Zombies will have owners!" Chitu and Feng Wu looked at Ye Lei in surprise at this time, "Could it be that there are still such people in the world?"
"The world is so big, we don't know there's a lot going on. Alright, without further ado, we'll leave now, and by night, these zombies should be what they really are!"
Afterwards, Ye Lei left here with Feng Wu and Chitu, and came to a cave a little farther away from Guo Zhuang and hid.
"Old man, it seems that the kid has already found out. At this time, the old woman in Guo Zhuang looked at the old man in front of her and said, "It's all because you have exposed your flaws." ”
"Old woman, how did I know that this kid was so vigilant. At this time, the old man ate another bite of wonton, "It's so hot, who made your old woman's craftsmanship so good?"
Ye Lei didn't know what was happening in Guo Zhuang at this time, now he was in the cave, although it was said that the corpse poison had been removed, but in order to prevent it from happening, Ye Lei was preparing some items to prevent corpse poison.
"I didn't expect there to be glutinous rice!" Ye Lei looked at the things he was carrying at this time, and found glutinous rice in a jade bottle, which surprised him.
"With glutinous rice, you don't have to worry about corpse poison, in this case, I will use these glutinous rice to refine a furnace of elixir first, and it will be dark in about three hours, and at that time, we should also act!"
Afterwards, Ye Lei took out the pill that Tianlingzi had prepared for him and began to refine the pill.
