Chapter Seventy-Two: The Army of Dried Corpses
The three of them knelt on the feast, Zhang Xiao was very interested in recounting everything he saw when he came to Gudi Village last time, and also talked about a big battle with the ghost king, but he didn't seem to have any heroic place.
At this time, the guy walked in from behind, Zhang Xiao chatted with him about the current situation of Gudi Village, and also knew that his name was Weng Fu, the reason why this village is clean is because most of the villagers have left, and the women in the village are usually fine, so they go to clean those houses and kill time when they are free, when Yuan Li looked at Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao's expressions, they laughed, they would believe such a ridiculous reason.
"I'm sorry guys, but there aren't many people here, and they don't have any ingredients, so we won't have to wait until they come back, but don't worry, this time should be soon. Weng Fu said to Zhang Xiao and the others very apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's not tight, we're not hungry, don't be so polite. Zhang Xiao hurriedly said politely, he was about to meet the villagers, and he was really looking forward to it.
Zhang Xiao was still chatting with Weng Fu, and there was a noisy sound outside the hall, and many people were walking here, still chatting about some things about weeding.
Immediately afterwards, eight people walked into the hall, as soon as they saw Zhang Xiao and the three, they stopped chatting, and one of the leaders was very happy and said: "All the distinguished guests are here, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, I heard Fuzi say that there are guests to arrive, we specially came back in advance, so that you can wait." ”
When the three of them saw someone coming in, they immediately stood up and looked at the person who was the leader, who looked thin and thin, with thin hair and dark skin, and knew at a glance that he was a farmer.
"Where, where are you, you are too polite, below is Zhang Xiao, the nephew of the great virtuous and good teacher, she is Zhang Xiao, the daughter of the great virtuous and good teacher, he is our friend Yuan Li, I don't know what you call it?"
"It turns out that the two are Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, and I heard the leader of the uprising in the village mention you. The leader looked at Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao in surprise, and continued: "My name is Weng Qi, but now the villagers promote me, I can be regarded as a leader, in fact, I don't have any ability. ”
Weng Qi smiled stupidly after speaking, and then shouted at Weng Fu: "Fuzi, go and cook these dishes for your guests, don't put the wrong ingredients." ”
Weng Fu hurriedly took the vegetables and hurried back to the back, while the others continued to chat happily with Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, it turned out that they were still children during the uprising, and the men all left, so they and some women stayed in the village, so life became hard, so many villagers couldn't bear it and left here to go to the big city, and now there are less than twenty people in the village.
Seeing these villagers chatting with Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao in full swing, Yuan Li quietly walked up to the second floor and entered his guest room, what these villagers were, now only he knows.
"I heard Fuzi say, aren't there still people from the Lian family here? It's still called Boss Lian, why haven't you seen it?"
Weng Qi was a little surprised, and yelled at Weng Fu angrily: "Fuzi, you are talking nonsense again, don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to say it in the future." ”
After speaking, Weng Qi regained his kindness and said to Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao: "The Lian family itself is small in this village, almost all of the last uprising is gone, and now there is only one person left, Fuzi likes to joke, saying that he is now the leader of the Lian family, so he is the boss of Lian, he is more withdrawn, so he didn't come." ”
Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao laughed heartily after hearing this, if they knew this person, maybe they would say the same.
chatted until late at night, Weng Qi mentioned that he had to work tomorrow, so he didn't talk much, and after a few sorry polite words, he got up and left, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao also said goodbye to them very politely, and then returned to their guest rooms.
When he came to the guest room, Zhang Xiao was not in a hurry to sleep, but paced back and forth in the room, there were less than twenty people left in Gudi Village, and it seemed that they couldn't sustain it, even if they didn't die here, they would choose to leave, and the Taiping Sect had really declined.
Just when Zhang Xiao was still worried, suddenly the door was gently pushed open, Zhang Xiao looked back, and Zhang Xiao was sneaking inside.
"Cousin, I'll sleep with you tonight. Seeing that Zhang Xiao hadn't slept yet, Zhang Xiao immediately said.
"Why? You have your own room, and you have to squeeze into me, I don't want it. Zhang Xiao said very unhappily, how can men and women be in the same room if they don't kiss, do they want to sleep on the floor by themselves?
"I always feel terrible here, I don't dare to be alone, I just sleep on the floor, you don't have to worry about me. Zhang Xiao made up her mind, hugged the mat and stayed in Zhang Xiao's room.
Zhang Xiao saw that he was so hard-hearted, and he couldn't do anything about her, so let's do it, anyway, it couldn't hinder himself, so the two of them turned off the lights and fell asleep.
On the top floor of the Taoist Temple in Gudi Village, all eight people chatting with Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao stood here, as if waiting for someone, and it didn't take long for a woman to float to the roof, this woman was wearing a white long dress, her whole body seemed to be swaying in the water, her dead gray skin, dark and hollow sunken eyes, making people feel disgusting, she was the female ghost that Zhang Xiao and Bo Cai and others met in the graveyard.
"Miss Wife, there are three people here this time, and they don't seem to be ordinary people, if they are dedicated to the ghost king, the ghost king will definitely be happy. Weng Qi said to his wife with a roe head and a mouse-like giggle.
"It's a good thing, it's been a long time since I've tasted a living person, and I've almost forgotten the temperature of blood. Wife Yu closed her eyes and floated into the air, although she couldn't see her eyes.
A green mist slowly rose from the ground, enveloping the entire Gudi Village, no wonder the houses here are very clean, the spread of the green mist is due to the yin wind blowing, the yin wind moves everything to the ground, even the dust can't escape, no wonder the ornaments in each house have fallen.
After a while, his wife spoke: "It turned out to be him, my father who was killed last time was seriously injured and almost lost his soul, and now he sent it to the door by himself, it's really good." ”
"Why are there only two of them, and there is one person?" Wife Yu felt the breath of the living and found Zhang Xiao, which can be regarded as meeting the enemy, and she was a little excited, but no matter how she sensed it, there was only one man and one woman, and no third person was found in the whole village, could it be that they ate it secretly?
Wife Yu returned to the roof, opened the invisible eyes, looked at Weng Qi angrily and said, "Why are there only two people, and you dare to steal food, don't you just be angry." ”
"No, absolutely not, I swear to the Ghost King, I will never steal food, if I steal it, I will be willing to suffer from leaving my soul. Weng Qi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"These people can't weigh food, but it's tricky for you, gather the corpse slaves and chop them up with knives. The wife ignored Weng, and after speaking, she floated into the air and disappeared.
Seeing his wife leaving, Weng immediately ordered the others: "Go and wake up all the corpse slaves, you dare to be lazy, and go to be corpse slaves." ”
The eight of them quickly left the temple, and soon after, more and more dried corpses appeared in the green mist, and from the ground, ditches, deep pits, and attics, countless dried corpses were active, and the number of them was so huge that they stood all over the street, and they all slowly advanced towards the guild hall.
Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao slept deeply, the three dried corpses walked into the room without making any sound, and the first dry corpse held a machete in his hand, walked in the direction of the bed in the dark, ready to slash on the bed with a knife.
"Ahh
Zhang Xiao heard Zhang Yao's screams and immediately woke up, knowing that it was not good, he didn't want to think about it, he lit up his aura, and saw the three dried corpses around him, which were already so close to him, their whole bodies were shriveled, their skin was ulcerated, and they felt like vomiting when they looked at it, Zhang Xiao gathered the aura in his palm, pushed the three dried corpses away with one palm, and then held the bamboo sword in one hand, and helped Zhang Jiao, who was shrunk into a ball of pain on the ground with the other, and left the room like a fly.
didn't have time to think, Zhang Xiao led Zhang Xiao to the door of Yuan Li's room, wanting to ask Yuan Li to leave together, but as soon as he opened the door, Yuan Li was long gone, and the window was also open.
Since he is not there, then he doesn't care, Zhang Xiao led Zhang Xiao and ran outside the hall, but the scene they saw made them stunned, the street was densely packed with dried corpses, some were wearing cloth clothes or armor, and they were walking towards them, and the dry corpses who were moving slowly saw Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao as if they saw a baby, and immediately rushed towards them, although they were very weak, but the number was too much, if they were careless, they would definitely be hacked to death with a knife.
Coming back to his senses, Zhang Xiao took back the bamboo sword from Zhang Xiao's hand, looked at these disgusting dried corpses, his frightened hands couldn't help trembling, he simply closed his eyes, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, slaughtering the dried corpses around him, and although Zhang Xiao didn't have a sword, he had already learned the transformation sword trick from the "Sword Basics", gathered the aura outside the body, and focused on consolidating it.
However, the number of dried corpses is too large and endless, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao felt that it would be over sooner or later if they continued like this, and at this moment, Zhang Xiao saw that at the mouth of a remote alley, a man in yellow clothes and a yellow scarf was waving to him, signaling that he had no choice now, so Zhang Xiao called Zhang Yao to slowly move towards the mouth of the alley.
