Chapter 148: Seeing the Light and Dying
Sha Kang screamed miserably and fell off his horse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When his more than 20 subordinates heard the word "move", they had already drawn their swords in their hands, and rushed towards Ding and Yu on horseback, although they saw Sha Kang inexplicably breaking an arm, but these sand bandits had been killed one by one, and this bit of blood could not frighten them at all. In the blink of an eye, the first two horsemen had rushed to a foot away, and the two knights raised their scimitars and were about to cut down on Ding Yu and the others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the scimitars in their hands were raised, the figures of the two people in front of them seemed to disappear out of thin air, and then they felt a pain in the back of their heads, and they involuntarily fell off the horse. The rest of the bandits saw that the monk scooped up the girl, and then the whole person seemed to turn into a gray shadow, flashing in the middle of the horse team, and the knights on horseback fell to the ground one after another like severed ears of rice, and one by one they did not even make a moan, and they were no longer alive.
At this time, Ding Yu walked to Sha Kang, who was rolling on the ground in pain, sealed his acupoints with two fingers, stopped the blood flow from the wound on his right shoulder by the way, and then picked it up with his toes, choked his throat, looked at him with four eyes, and lifted the Soul Transfer Dafa and asked: "About the matter of the head reward, say it completely, don't miss a little." ”
In less than half a pillar of incense, Ding Yu learned about the content of the reward from Sha Kang, and Sha Kang made the road with his brothers in a state of ignorance.
Yi Ma Li looked at Ding Yu in horror, not understanding that Sha Kang, the leader of the horse thieves who had always been fierce and domineering, would be as honest as a lamb to the slaughter under Ding Yu's eyes. He involuntarily took a few steps back, muttering something over and over again.
Ding Yu glanced at him inexplicably, and immediately closed his eyes tightly, and muttered louder in his mouth. Tong Luoxing laughed out loud and said, "He thinks you are a demon who has taken people's souls, and now he is praying to the gods to drive you back to hell so that he can save his soul." ”
Ding Yu shook his head, and didn't have time to deal with the horsepower. Shakang's gang of horse thieves rode a total of twenty-four good horses, and many of them also brought dry food and water. He gathered five or six days' rations and water, and picked out four of the strongest horses, two of which sat on the people, and two of which were used to carry food and water. Then he said to Tong Luoxing: "It has been a long time since Li Qiushui issued a reward, it is estimated that a large number of people and horses have already rushed to the southern section of the Tarim River, now that we have enough water, we don't need to travel along the river, do you know other paths?"
Tong Luoxing thought for a while and said: "From here to the southwest for three or four days, there is an ancient road that can go directly to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, that direction is already sparsely populated, and now the Xixia falcon is also useless, and it should be quiet for a few days to go west." ”
Ding Yu felt a sense of déjà vu in his heart: the first foothold he crossed into the martial arts world was the Western Regions, and when he left, he was also chased and killed, and he also left along an ancient road. Thinking about this place in the Western Regions, it really doesn't match him, he was hunted down and killed by people with low martial arts at the beginning, but now his martial arts are so good, but he still has to be hunted down and killed. He smiled wryly and rode his horse toward the southwest.
Tong Luoxing glanced back at Yi Ma Li, who was praying loudly, and said loudly: "Thank you Yi Ma Li for your hospitality, these twenty horses are our return gift." However, there will be countless sand bandits and horse thieves coming here soon, so the leader should quickly move north with the tribe. After speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and chased after Ding Yu's back.
Ding Yu ran, while asking Tong Luoxing about the terrain of the Western Regions, roads, and possible masters, etc., the two were talking in a daze, when suddenly the black horse under Ding Yu's crotch neighed sadly, his four hooves were soft, and he fell forward. Ding Yu's reaction was so sharp that he sensed that the horse's back had sunk, and he had risen up and landed on the back of the horse carrying water next to him.
Unexpectedly, the others did not stand firmly, and the horses neighed again and fell into the yellow sand. And this time there was more than one, Tong Luoxing's mount and another pack horse fell almost at the same time, sliding three long traces in the yellow sand. Fortunately, Ding Yu's eyes were quick, and he swept a few feet in the air, scooped up Tong Luoxing, and the two landed lightly on the sand.
I saw that the four horses were rubbed with blood by the fool, foaming at the mouth continuously, and their abdomen rose and fell sharply, looking like they were out of strength.
"How can this be?" Ding Yu was shocked and angry, "These four are all rare good horses, they have only been running for half an hour, why are they out of strength?"
Tong Luoxing approached a yellow horse, looked at its eyes, dipped a little bit of saliva on the side of its mouth with his hand, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it, and the color changed later, he took out a water bag to rinse the saliva on his fingers, and said to Ding Yu: "They are not out of strength, they are poisoned!"
"Poisoning?" Ding Yu was surprised and asked, "What kind of poison did you get into?"
Tong Luoxing's eyes had already focused on the four legs of the yellow horse at this time, and she shook her head and said, "It's hard to say, maybe it's the Golden Scorpion." You can help me see if the legs of the other horses are red and swollen. ”
The Golden Scorpion is one of the most poisonous poisons common in the Western Regions, and it lies dormant in burrows in the ground during the day to avoid the heat, and only climbs to the ground at night to feed. But even in the daytime, if a man or animal steps into the hole where they are hiding, they will fight back, and with a slight sting, neither man nor horse will last for half an hour. Although it is extremely rare for four horses to be stung at the same time, it is not impossible if there happens to be a nest of golden scorpions on the way.
However, the two of them looked carefully, and there were no other red and swollen wounds on the legs and bodies of the four horses, except for the abrasions just now. The two of them sank in their hearts, and the absence of external injuries meant that the poison in the horses did not enter through the wounds, but through their diet, and since the four horses had arrived at Ding Yu's hands, they had only fed them a few sips of water before setting out -- the clear water taken from the Shakang gang! This water had been drunk not only by the horses, but also by Ding Yu. Although it is not the same bag of water, they are all those of the sand bandits, only Tong Luoxing is still drinking the water of the Tarim River because of his small consumption.
Thinking of this, Tong Luoxing snatched the water bag that Ding Yu had drunk, pulled out the plug and sniffed, bit off his fingers, dripped a few drops of blood into it, and then poured the water mixed with blood into the sand, although the blood quickly seeped into the sand, she could still clearly see that the color of the blood was not light red, but light black.
Tong Luoxing gritted his teeth and said: "Colorless and tasteless, it turns black when it encounters blood - it is really 'death when you see the light'!"
Not long ago, Tong Luoxing also talked to Ding Yu about this "death when you see the light". These three words represent one of the most notorious poisons in the Western Regions. This poison is extremely strange, if the poisoned person is not exposed to the sun, it will not attack for three to five days, but once it comes into contact with the sun, the poison will attack immediately, as long as an hour, as short as a stick of incense, and it will inevitably kill him, hence this strange name.
This poison is colorless and tasteless, and the only characteristic is that after encountering the blood of humans and animals, the color of the blood will turn from red to black. (To be continued.) )
