Chapter 22: The River Temple (7)
Jiang Yuan grabbed the zombie's claw with one hand, and slowly lifted it up little by little.
The zombie's eyes were full of fierceness, and it roared angrily, opening its big mouth full of fangs and biting Jiang Yuan's throat.
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand and slammed the zombie's neck, and then slammed his head into the zombie's face.
"Bang!"
There was a dull sound, and the skin on the zombie's face was fleshy, and the sticky black-green slowly flowed down.
"Roar!!
The zombie grew angrier, its claws stabbing fiercely towards Jiang Yuan's chest.
It's fast, but now Jiang Yuan's speed is even faster.
Before the claws could be stabbed, Jiang Yuan had already swung out a fierce punch and slammed it on the zombie's front door.
Only a sound of bones breaking could be heard, and one of the zombie's fangs was broken by Jiang Yuan's punch.
"Is it cool?" Jiang Yuan said angrily, "Come and continue to bite me!"
Jiang Yuan didn't give the zombie any chance to fight back, he rushed forward and scuffled with the zombie.
The zombies roared and resisted with claws.
The black gas emitted by the zombies became more and more intense, and the flames on Jiang Yuan's body were also burning. But whether it was the corrosive black gas of the zombies or Jiang Yuan's flames, they didn't seem to have caused serious damage to the other party.
Instead, where the two had struck, the plants first withered and then were ignited by the flames.
If someone looks down from Jiuquan Mountain, they can see the foot of the mountain at night, a firelight spreading, circling, twisting, and winding in the grass.
The zombie's body was extremely hard, Jiang Yuan's healing ability was amazing, and the two sides fought like this for a few hours, and it was still inseparable.
After a fierce battle, the zombie's entire face was completely deformed, black-green juice splashed everywhere, its eyeballs had been blown out, and there was not much rotten flesh left on its face. And Jiang Yuan was also scratched out of several blood marks all over his body, and Bai Sensen's bones were faintly visible in some deep places.
The turbulent waters of the Xuan River began to calm down, and a layer of mist spread over the river.
In the depths of Jiuquan Mountain, out of nowhere, the short, sharp crowing of pheasants began to sound.
The eastern sky was white, and the sky was about to dawn, and it was clear that dawn was coming.
Seeing that the dawn was approaching, the zombie that was fighting with Jiang Yuan began to become restless, and it found an opportunity to break away from the battle, turning its head and running towards the mountains and forests.
"Want to run?" Jiang Yuan said angrily, "How can it be so easy!"
Jiang Yuan pounced on it, pounced on the zombie from behind, and pressed it firmly to the ground.
Then he swung his fist and slammed it down on the zombie's head.
The zombies roared, their claws slicing the ground apart and the dirt waving.
Even if Jiang Yuan kept attacking, the zombies still struggled desperately, crawling towards the mountain forest.
Jiang Yuan simply rode on the zombie's back, pressed the zombie's head into the dirt, and no matter how the zombie struggled, he just didn't let go:
"Leave it for Lao Tzu!"
Time passed little by little, and suddenly, a thousand rays of light pierced the darkness and threw themselves into the earth, and everything around them began to brighten.
When the sunlight hit the zombie, I saw a large amount of white smoke coming out of the zombie's body.
The zombies began to scream and writhe in pain, struggling even more desperately to escape into the dense mountain forest.
Jiang Yuan still held the zombie firmly, and he stretched out a hand to pull out the zombie's only remaining eyeball:
"Isn't it cool?
As the sun rises and the light shines all over the land, the night finally passes.
The zombie emitted more and more white smoke, and it seemed to be more and more injured by the sun, and the zombie finally overturned Jiang Yuan, who was riding on its back, and ran towards the mountain forest quickly with its hands and feet like an animal.
But after Jiang Yuan got up, he grabbed the zombie's feet and dragged it away from the mountain forest little by little.
The zombies screamed and clawed in the mud. But Jiang Yuan didn't let go, dragging the zombie's legs and dragging it to the rocky beach, completely exposed to the sun.
Under the sun's exposure, the zombie was constantly spewing out white smoke, and its struggle began to become weak.
"I'm going to run away, you just want to leave me behind, it's cool now!"
The white smoke rose more and more violently, the zombie's struggle became weaker and weaker, and its originally hard body showed signs of melting like ice in the sunlight.
"It's over!"
Jiang Yuan raised his foot and stepped on the zombie's head.
Today's zombies, after being exposed to the sun, have no longer had the same hardness as before, but have become dry and brittle.
Jiang Yuan didn't use much strength at all to crush the zombie's head.
"This is the boundary between yin and yang...... Jiang Yuan glanced at the sun peeking out of the mountain, "too...... Hopefully?"
In a few moments, the zombies turned into a pile of white ash in the sunlight.
A black ghost qi emerged from the white ash, and under the sun, the ghost qi continued to dissolve.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to absorb the ghost qi into his body.
As the ghost qi entered his body, Jiang Yuan felt the richness and abundance of this ghost qi, and it took a quarter of an hour for the shadow in his body to completely devour and absorb this ghost qi.
I killed so many ghosts last night, and now I have absorbed the ghost energy of zombies, and under the nourishment of so many ghosts, the form of flame has finally matured a little more.
And Jiang Yuan's body also began to change.
His skin began to crack, and dense cracks spread all over his body.
"Ah...... Ahh
Suffering such pain made Jiang Yuan can't help but cry out.
But the pain came and went quickly, and as the cracking of the skin stopped, the pain disappeared.
In the cracks of the skin, it was red, like magma flowing in it.
And this body, Jiang Yuan felt that it did not weaken in the slightest, but it became harder.
He looked at his hands, and his fingertips were as hard and sharp as tiger claws.
He looked down at his feet again, and saw that their feet had also changed, not only growing sharp nails, but also becoming claws, which could be grasped and stretched.
Jiang Yuan could even grasp the soil on the ground with the soles of his feet, which were no longer like human feet at all.
"That's great! I feel like I'm in this state...... Stronger!"
The Xuan River has long since lost the restlessness of the night, and the sparkling surface of the river seems to be sprinkled with a piece of gold. The river crashed against the rocky beach, and the Jiuquan Mountain behind the mountain temple also became lush, and a layer of mountains surrounded the mountainside like a thin veil.
Such a beautiful scenery is refreshing, who would have thought that last night here and there, but ghosts and demons are rampant, taking people's lives at every turn.
Not far away, Lu Junsheng sat alone on the river beach, and the female ghost had already completely dissipated.
Jiang Yuan withdrew from the form of Yanzhi, his body continued to become shorter and smaller, and soon returned to the original appearance of the weak scholar.
He came to Lu Junsheng's side, and the murderous intent surged in his heart.
Lu Junsheng has obviously inadvertently bumped into his secret, and if he is left alive, then his secret may be revealed.
But after all the things last night, Jiang Yuan couldn't do it. For a while, it was difficult for him to choose whether to kill or not to kill.
Lu Junsheng sensed Jiang Yuan's arrival, and he muttered:
"She's gone...... I was going to take her as my wife...... I shouldn't be resentful...... When I first heard that she was missing in the Xuan River, I was already in despair...... It's my luck to see her again this time......"
Jiang Yuan stood behind Lu Junsheng, his hand was raised, put it down again, and raised it again, hearing Lu Junsheng's words, he asked casually:
"What's her name?"
"Sun Xiaohe. Lu Junsheng replied, "She will always be my wife......"
Jiang Yuan's hand was about to grab Lu Junsheng's neck, but when he heard this name, his heart suddenly moved:
"What's her name?" Sun ...... Xiaohe? Sun Xiaohe, who works at Fengqi Restaurant, who is she from, and who else is in the family?"
Lu Junsheng turned his head and wondered in his heart, Xiaohe is not a beauty, why would Jiang Yuan know?
But he still answered truthfully:
"That's right, Xiaohe used to work in Fengqi Restaurant. She was originally from Taiping Town, and she also had a grandfather named Sun Daming at home. ”
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, he didn't expect that female ghost to be Sun Xiaohe.
Immediately, he felt a little gloomy in his heart, before Sun Daming had no hope of escaping, he was still worried about his granddaughter and entrusted his life savings to strangers, but he didn't know that this granddaughter had ......
When he looked at Lu Junsheng again, he was shocked again.
I saw that Lu Junsheng's eyes were hollow, and his face was terrifyingly white, faintly revealing a black gas, and he looked completely ill and not far from death.
Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered that he had heard Lin Zhenghao say that even if the demons and monsters were destroyed, they would look for living creatures to parasitize again. And last night, when Yan Gudao burned the strange corpse, he also said that the mutation of the corpse was because of the evil qi entering the body.
In this way, they all seem to be talking ...... Ghostly.
No wonder the ghost has an indescribable longing for the living, want to come...... After Sun Xiaohe disappeared, her ghost qi entered Lu Junsheng's body......
The murderous intent in Jiang Yuan's heart has completely faded, since Lu Jun's life is not long, why rush to kill him at this time.
He turned back and searched in the grass for a long time, and finally found the lost gold ingot.
He came to Lu Junsheng with a gold ingot and said:
"Her grandfather had asked me to give this to her as her dowry...... But now I don't know to whom this gold should be given. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan was inevitably ashamed.
It was originally entrusted by people, and it was a matter of ending people. What's more, it was Sun Daming's last wish, but he did it badly.
"Is the world too dark...... Jiang Yuan was depressed in his heart, "Or am I not strong enough?"
Lu Junsheng took Jiang Yuan's gold ingot, dug a pit with his hands where Sun Xiaohe disappeared, and then buried the gold ingot in it.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and returned to the River Temple to find a piece of clothing to put on.
When he came out of the temple, Lu Junsheng was still sitting on the river beach in a daze, as if the whole person had lost his soul, and only a walking corpse remained.
"I'm leaving," Jiang Yuan said as he passed by him, "Brother Lu, take care." ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan gradually left here along the road.
