Chapter Seventy-One: Questioning
Half an hour later.
Ning Caichen finally saw a stone tablet with the three big characters "Guobei County" written on the side of the road next to the official road.
However, the weeds around this stele are as tall as people's thighs, and some people's bones are scattered nearby, and there are marks of cracking on the bones, so it gives people a very desolate and ominous feeling.
Speaking of which, is it sure it's not a cemetery?
"Strange, what happened, why did Guobei County in the peaceful period fall like this?" The scene in front of him really doesn't look like a picture in the peaceful years, but it makes Ning Caichen feel that this is a chaotic era of war and chaos, which is very discordant.
After all, even if this Guobei County is not comparable to Chenxian County, it shouldn't be chaotic like this, it really doesn't make sense.
And this Guobei County is not a frontier city.
"What the hell is going on, I don't know. Ning Caichen said to himself with a frown.
He had a feeling that he had only disappeared for a few months, and when he came out again, he had the illusion that things were wrong.
Or I have little knowledge, a prosperous county like Chenxian is actually only a few places in the Song Kingdom, and Guobei County in front of me is the most important scene in the society of the Eight Heroes of the Warring States Period.
Because the Warring States period was originally a very big troubled era, not to mention that there were demons rampant, so many factors added up, a county town is so dilapidated, it seems to make sense.
"Forget it, go into the city and ask. For a moment, Ning Caichen took a deep breath and quickened his pace in the direction of Guo Beicheng, and his eyes could faintly see a city standing there in the distance.
In this way, the wind and sand were all the way, the air was as hot as a fire, and the scorching sun shone on the earth, tearing the ground and making the official road crack after crack.
On the road, Ning Caichen was walking under the terrifying heat.
"Hurry up, grab the scholar in front of you. Suddenly, just behind Ning Caichen, a large group of people appeared, they were carrying knives and sticks in their hands, their faces were hideous, their eyes were excited and green like beasts, they swallowed saliva in their mouths, and under the leadership of a fierce man, they rushed over quickly.
Hearing this mixed voice, it made Ning Caichen stop with a puzzled face, and turned to look at the other party's more than a dozen big men, all of whom were approaching him with fierce looks.
"Who are you?" A little, when these people approached in front of him, feeling the beast-like greed, viciousness, and cold killing intent on the other party, Ning Caichen raised his eyebrows, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, I've never seen such a stupid scholar as you, since you're standing here waiting for us to catch up and not run. ”
"Why should I run. Ning Caichen shook his head amusedly, and then his face turned cold: "Answer me, who are you?"
"Haha, who are we, we are the ones who are going to chop you up. The big man smiled cruelly, and then shouted: "Kill the brothers, we chopped him up, and there is meat to eat today." ”
"I see. Ning Caichen's eyes shrank for a while, and he was extremely shocked in his heart, chopping him and eating meat, this amount of information is very terrifying.
At the same time, he was also facing this, his face was also cold, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and in the face of those big men smiling fiercely, his eyes were shining fiercely, and the knives and sticks were slashing down at him, and he shouted loudly at the next moment: "Kanglong has regrets." ”
"Yin ......" instantly followed Ning Caichen's push with both hands, and slapped out with one palm, a terrifying dragon groan sounded on his body, and then a divine golden dragon, only to see the scales lifelike, the breath was boundless, it flew out, flew around his body, and roared out.
"Click...... clicked...... "I saw that those knives and sticks were swept by the golden dragon beaten by Ning Caichen, and they were immediately broken into several pieces.
"Ahhh......h
"Spare your life, spare your life, chivalrous ......" In the Warring States Period, there were also chivalrous, and in the Three Kingdoms period, there were chivalrous people such as Gan Ning, and Xu Sha was it.
And like Ning Caichen's skills, he really deserves the word chivalry, of course, this chivalry has nothing to do with the chivalry of martial arts novels. So I saw him come to the leading man with an expressionless face, squatted down and listened to the other party's intermittent begging for mercy, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then the palm of his hand pressed on the other party's chest in the other party's frightened gaze, giving the other party a burst of anger and temporarily maintaining his dog's life.
"Answer me, what happened in this Guobei County, how did it become like this?" Ning Caichen asked as he looked at the people on the ground with cold eyes.
"Yes...... yes" felt a scorching air flow in his body, and at this time, his body was no longer painful, and the blood in his mouth was no longer gushing, the face of the big man who was the leader of the person was surprised and happy, but in the face of Ning Caichen's cold gaze, he felt even more flustered and scared, and could only open his mouth with numbness: "Back to the chivalrous man, originally Guobei County was prosperous, far from being as chaotic as it is now, but since seven months ago, disasters have fallen from the sky......"
"Seven months ago?" A soft voice sounded, Ning Caichen's face moved, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't interrupt the other party's words, but listened carefully.
"At that time, the battle in the sky destroyed half of Guobei County...... which reminded him of the dozens of big pits he had seen on the road before, and it turned out that those were the swords and halberd shadows that poured down from the sky battle that day.
"Later, I heard that a demon in Lanruo Temple was suppressed more than ten years ago, and the seal was also shattered by the thunder and lightning that fell from the sky, so that Lanruo Temple was haunted again, and the demons came out to eat people, making the original chaotic situation in Guobei County even more chaotic, and even those soldiers were all eaten, which caused robbers to rise everywhere, and those who did not die tried to escape from Guobei County. ”
"Was Lanruo Temple haunted more than ten years ago?" Ning Caichen asked in surprise.
Could it be that Nie Xiaoqian was twenty or thirty years older than Ning Caichen and was born?
It's so depressing.
"By the way, there are demons eating people here, and the government is paralyzed, so no court has sent anyone to deal with it. Then he asked, confused.
"It's not clear to this villain. The man shook his head with a wry smile.
"Yes, it's strange that you know. Ning Caichen smiled slightly, then stood up and turned to leave.
"Ah......" The next moment, the man was not happy to save the dog's life, he suddenly let out a miserable scream, it turned out that the power in his body to maintain life disappeared, and he was bleeding and bleeding to death.
The death was very miserable.
Of course, during the time of their questions and answers, the other bandits who did not die on the spot also died one after another, so he was the last person to die.
