Chapter 32: A Nose Realm

Jianghu, Jianghu.

Are the rivers and lakes far away?

The rivers and lakes are not far away, and the rivers and lakes are everywhere. People are rivers and lakes, and where there are grievances, they are rivers and lakes.

What are rivers and lakes like?

Ask thousands of people, and there are thousands of answers.

For the ambitious young man who has sharpened his sword for ten years, the rivers and lakes are hope. Indulgence and wildness, blood and fire, fame and Jiao'e, bow and knife and liver and gallbladder. For the elderly, the rivers and lakes are dust, tea, wine, landscape paintings with light ink on the wall, and the sound of the piano. For the girl full of longing, the rivers and lakes are love, the flying butterflies in the bustling flower market in the south of the Yangtze River, the larks jumping among the smoke and willows, the handsome teenagers, and the gentle smile.

It's just that the meaning of rivers and lakes is far more than that.

The rivers and lakes, as well as the wandering world, have no place to return. There are also broken families and deaths, and there are no relatives in the world. There is a young man who is full of pride, but he dies before he gets out of school, and he ends up with hatred. There are famous heroes, who have achieved success and failure between life and death, grief and despair. There are also countless remnants of the body that died under the sword, and countless dry bones buried in the barren mountains and ravines.

In the rivers and lakes, there is hope and disappointment. There are young people who are proud, and there are also embarrassed by Luo Tuo.

Just as the day and night are divided into the same day, the moon is not full. Ming and the destruction of the original are only two sides of the same thing.

The weak eat the strong, life and death coexist. Success or defeat is in an instant.

This is the rivers and lakes.

For the weak, there is no warmth in the rivers and lakes. If wolves, bears, tigers and leopards inhabit the roe deer rabbit in the mountains and forests, once the hunting and hunting meet, how can the tiger and leopard that smells the smell of blood let the roe deer rabbit live in seclusion and grow up slowly? Perhaps the kind rabbit will have this expectation, but the rabbit with this expectation will eventually be left with only the soul of the wronged.

Hu Buwei didn't know the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to know the rivers and lakes. As far as he is concerned. The rivers and lakes are as far away as the battlefield between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. Fight and kill all day long, and be happy with enmity. It was all done by the knights who studied martial arts, and it had nothing to do with him as a civilian. He never imagined that one day, he would set foot in it.

It's just that he forgot that things in the world are originally impermanent, and how fate goes, he will never listen to people's wishes. Especially in such a turbulent and upside-down turbulent world, countless people are dying in the twilight of life, and he wants to be alone alone, how ridiculous it is!

The situation is made up of unrefutable and resistant. Therefore, there is no other way than to do everything in his power to avoid disasters.

He felt that he was like a rabbit, a rabbit that was intercepted by people back and forth.

There are jackals in front. There are tigers and leopards in the back, and in the darkness left and right, there is also a unpredictable crisis. He kept running away, relying on his natural cunning. Ran for his life several times. However, the predators did not stop at all times, and did not give him the slightest respite, and surrounded him from all sides. The sound of sharp teeth grinding can be heard in the wind. He didn't even have the slightest chance to make himself strong. Bad luck followed one after another, and he was tired of running for his life every day. There is no time for anything else.

Hu Buwei didn't know how he could have fallen into such a situation today. He was just an ordinary man, neither a great good nor a great evil. There are good wives and young sons in the family, and Taiyue's parents. But how could bad luck come to him? His fate suddenly changed overnight, and he was inexplicably swept into the turbulence without even knowing the cause of the incident, and from then on he could not help himself, and fled everywhere in order to survive.

What is the origin of this abominable fate, how did it come about, and why is it persecuted again and again?

Narrow roads stretch in front of the line of sight. Hu Buwei's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, and he was in no mood to talk to Fan Tongyou Qin Su. At this moment, it has entered the unitary card, and the night has completely fallen, and when I look around, I can only see dark shadows, and the trees, stones, and grasses are all melted into one at this time. However, fortunately, it is the autumn high weather, although the dark color is heavy, the stars and the moon are bright, and the dark trees on the left and right sides are contrasted, and the loess road is not difficult to distinguish in the eyes of the three people.

The sound of hooves rises and falls, the scenery around him changes, and behind him is the yellow dust in the sky. The three of them had already run twenty miles, but they did not dare to pause in the slightest.

"Insidious scum! A dog thief who kills a thousand knives! Take advantage of people's danger and be shameless!"

It was Fan Tongyou's angry voice.

The old drunkard cursed all the way, and his voice became a little hoarse. But even so, it couldn't get rid of the evil spirit in his chest.

Listening to the long and short chirping of night owls in the woods near and far, Fan Tongyou's heart was extremely irritable. Being chased and killed and fleeing for his life is always not an interesting thing for anyone, not to mention that he is obviously proud of the world with strange knowledge, but he can't do it and can't do it, which makes people even more resentful.

Fan Tongyou is not afraid of Shi Zuxiao. Although the old shameless conspiracy is full of unguardable things, if Fan Tongyou's body is still sealed, let him set up a reverse order to leave the palace, and Shi Zuxiao's corpses are not to worry. But unlucky, there are now less than twenty of the one hundred and eight sealing bottles on the drunkard's body, and the final life-saving secret technique Qingluan Soul has also been used after the last ambush. It can be said that now is the most vulnerable time since Fan Tongyou entered the Tao.

The enemy is different, Shi Zuxiao has obviously been planning for a long time this time. Plan and then act, and the strength in your hands will naturally not be too bad. Fan Tongyou knows the style of the scum of the rivers and lakes, this person is the most forbearing, and he will never make a move if the time is not successful. Fan Tongyou did not attribute Shi Zuxiao's appearance on this road to chance. I will never believe that the people who were poisoned just now died because of the momentary will of filial piety.

The purpose of Shi Zuxiao's work has always been very clear.

If he can appear on this road, he must have discovered the whereabouts of the three people a long time ago, and he specially came here to wait. If he dares to come here to guard, he must be confident and have the overall situation in his hands. Judging from the fact that he grasped the timing and intercepted the three of them before the Yin time came, Shi Zuxiao undoubtedly had the absolute initiative. Maybe...... From the moment he and Qin Su ran out of Jiangning Mansion, the actions of the three of them had been exposed under his nose. Although Fan Tongyou didn't know what method he used, this possibility was very high.

Fan Tongyou's heart was cold, and his thoughts turned in an instant. The enemy is in the dark, and the current situation is really unfavorable.

It seems to know his mind. The sound of the wind in the forest suddenly turned sharp at this time, turning the forest leaves one after another. It makes a sound like a huge tide draining into the shore. The more oppression Fan Tongyou felt in his heart. The road ahead is tortuous and seemingly never-ending. The horse's run slowed down. The non-stop running from noon to night could not withstand even the horses of the gods.

"No! our horses are not as fast as zombies, and if we continue like this, we will catch up!" Fan Tongyou knew the horror of those things that lost their souls. The experience of being chased by a dead body a few days ago is still vivid in my mind.

"Ah?!" Hu Buwei in front of him shook his shoulders and tightly protected Hu Tan with his hands. He turned around, his face white: "What then......? Do you want to fight him?"

"I can't fight him, I can't fight him now. Fan Tongyou gritted his teeth and said, "However, we can't fight hard, but we can think of ways to hold them back." Hmph! When I have eased this crisis, I will slowly find a chance to take revenge in the future! Shi Zu filial piety old thief, I will always let you see my methods!"

Fan Tongyou looked in front of and behind him, trying to find an ideal place to set up, but he never found a satisfactory place. At this time, there was no abnormality in the wind, and the sound of birds and birds in the woods near and far was not chaotic, and the group of dead bodies that wanted to come to Shi Zuxiao was still some distance away from the three of them, and it was still too late to find a place to lay out a simple formation near the left.

The three of them ran for another half a mile, and the turning point in front of them was dark. A dense woodland appeared before the three of them.

"This is it!" Fan Tongyou was overjoyed, and as he spoke, he jumped off the horse with one hand on the saddle. The jujube horse also ignored the movements of its master, and ran straight along the road without stopping.

"You go first. Don't stop! I'll follow when I'm done laying the trap. ”

When Hu Buwei heard about it, he knew that he couldn't help if he stayed in the local area, so he pulled the reins. and Qin Su chased Fan Tongyou's horses forward. "Brother Fan, you must be careful. We are waiting for you ahead. ”

The flying dust soon obscured the view, and yellow smoke billowed up. Evolve countless strange shapes in mid-air. Fan Tongyou sprayed his nose to drive out the smell of dry mud and dust in his nasal cavity, and quickly looked around.

The woods were so dense and shrubs that no matter which side you looked at it, you couldn't see through the dense foliage to the sky, and it looked like it was almost a curtain of two black cloths, with a dirt road stretching forward.

"In the land of trees, the water and air will be prosperous, hum! Old thief, don't you like this kind of place where the yang and yin grow the most? Look how I can reverse the yin and yang for you, so that you can also have a long memory!" Fan Tongyou said in his heart. After a moment's thought, he walked briskly to the narrower part of the road and squatted down. With two hands clasped and five fingers hooked into the shape of a small shovel, the soil was quickly ploughed on the road.

The efficiency of the characters in the rivers and lakes with mana is naturally different from that of ordinary people. It only took half a bag of cigarettes for Fan Tongyou to dig out a hill-like pile of soil around him. Seeing that the number was sufficient, he pushed his hands and feet, and made the soil horizontally into a long ridge to block the road, about a foot high. Then, another one was stacked vertically, and the two earthen ridges were just like the mountains that crossed the cross, separating the water veins on both sides.

This is the Soil Barrier Breaking Bureau. The soil can overcome the water, and the two combined soil ridges occupy the habitat and cut off the water veins. As a result, the yin energy of the decanter water in this place was greatly discharged.

It's just that just cutting off the water veins is not enough. The corpses of Shi Zuxiao are yin things, and Fan Tongyou must make this place a place of yang prosperity in order to harm them. The drunkard was confident, and he took out four copper coins from his arms in a hurry, pinched his fingers and measured it visually, calculated the door of life and death, and selected a place to place it, which was the method of weak gold to promote wood.

Tuke water, Jin Kemu, this is the basic meaning of the five elements of Shengke, it stands to reason that Jin Sheng is the wood declines, in the Wangmu raw land, there should not be any gold things to weaken the wood gas. However, it would be biased to stick to this principle. It is necessary to know the situation of the moment, and the law of the moment should be taken. The Five Elements Shengke has its inherent evolutionary principles, but in terms of usage, it is mysterious.

Generally speaking, people and things, time and situation, have the distinction between subject and object, and the subject and object are independent of the five elements in terms of growth and change, and it is simple to say: the main is strong, the guest is weak, and the guest is weaker. Fan Tongyou placed weak gold in the place where the wood gathered, although it would slightly damage the wood qi, but in the whole array, the weak gold was in the guest position, but it raised the wood qi of the main position in the game.

The arrangement is orderly, and the guests and hosts are distinct. The next thing to do is how to induce the formation. The old drunkard used his finger as a pen to distinguish the position of the gossip palace, wrote incantations on the ground, and muttered and recited them in his mouth. Finally, he drew two Tiangang Thunder Talismans, bit his fingertips and activated them with yang blood, one shallow one was buried in the mound, and the other was buried under the floating dust. Then, a penculi was taken out of his bosom. He bowed back and was far into the ground beyond the ridges. Succeed with flying colors.

"A little punishment! Wait for me to set up a big array, and I will not let you burn all the tattered dead to ashes!"

Hearing the faint chirping of zombies in the distance, Fan Tongyou didn't dare to stay any longer, patted off the dust on his body, performed a quick technique, and chased after Qin and Hu.

The feet of the three horses were noticeably weaker than they were during the day. It took Fan Tongyou more than a quarter of an hour to finish the formation in another section in front of him, let go of his footsteps and hurriedly chase, and it only took a meal to catch up with Qin and Hu. The two of them are still waiting for him. While struggling to ride the horse, he looked back, until he saw Fan Tongyou striding to catch up, and then he eased the anxiety on his face. Fan Tongyou jumped into the air and jumped on the horse, and the three horses drove side by side as when they first came.

"Don't worry!" Fan Tongyou said with a smile, "I put two different formations for them, and it won't be a matter of time for the old immortal to get rid of it." ”

"Oh. "Hu Buwei responded, and his heart was very relaxed. He was convinced of what Fan Tongyou said. The old guy has deep mana and shapes his soul against the sky. To be able to free him from his stupor, this skill is extremely powerful. Since he said not to worry, then naturally there is no need to worry.

"Brother Fan, where should we go now, is there any other way to Gwangju?"

"Yes. Forty miles further, there is a small road leading to Linqing Town, and we turn around from Linqing. This will take two days longer than the previously scheduled route. But I don't think the scum surnamed Shi will ever catch up again. ”

"Okay! Miss Qin. What do you think?"

"Hmm. Qin Su said.

The horses drifted away. After half the incense, the smoke and dust that was trampled by the horse's hooves slowly fell back to the ground. Everything was as calm as it had been when no one was there. At this time, sixteen or seventeen miles behind. Another cloud of smoke and dust is covering the sky and the sun, and the arrogant loess curtain is like a cloud that continues to condense before a thunderstorm, pushing one mass after another, stretching rapidly in all directions, and a long section of the road is all covered by the dust and smoke that rises several feet high, and it is almost impossible to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand.

In front of Huang Yan, there is a master and apprentice who is struggling to chase after him. The two of them rode on the shoulders of the zombies, neither of them bothered to speak, and kept shaking the soul-attracting bell to guide the corpses to jump forward. Just now summoned the zombie out of the soil, and then withdrew the formation to pack up the magic weapon, which delayed a lot of work, and even made Hu Buwei a long distance for the three of them. Fortunately, those horses are still alive, their muscles and bones will be sore, and they can't run too far, and the zombies who have performed the rush technique won't take too long to catch up, so at this time, Shi Zuxiao is not in a hurry.

"Woo-order!-order!" The monotonous voice resounded far away on the road. More than 100 corpses jumped and stepped forward, and the sound of landing was uniform. The ground trembled slightly at every two breaths due to the momentum of the large group of people jumping down.

On the dirt road, the messy horseshoe prints are very conspicuous. Neither master nor apprentice could connect with the field of vision of the corpse, and only followed the hoof prints in pursuit. Just now, Fan Tongyou and the three of them hurriedly returned to the horse and fled the road, the master and apprentice were confused, and forgot to control the detective corpse to continue to track for a while, and when they reacted, they had been separated by the three of them. Now the detective corpse is chasing after him.

However, Shi Zuxiao's master and apprentice have been walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they have extremely rich experience in tracking, and at this moment, they can track the walking routes of the three fugitives with the naked eye alone. From the marks left by the running horses, it is clear that two horses are exhausted, and the distance between them is less than seven feet every time they take off and fall into the air.

A slender mark on the dust caught Shi Zuxiao's attention. He looked at it carefully for a while, and his face was bright.

"They can't go far! The horse has stumbled!" Shi Zuxiao was surprised and delighted, flipped his right hand, and slapped his palm on the head of the mounted zombie. "Let's chase after them!They're in front!" As he spoke, the mountain climbing talisman he held between his two fingers "snapped!", and a small cloud of turquoise flames burst out under his five fingers, and then, a faint blue light flashed on the zombie's forehead, and then, like lightning passing through water, dozens of dead bodies jumped behind him one after another, and a faint light appeared one after another under the shins. For a moment, the already fast speed of the corpse group suddenly increased a lot.

A horse stumbling is a clear sign that he is about to run out of strength. It doesn't seem to take long to catch them.

"Use the mountain charm! Yaoqing! Don't be reluctant, as long as you hold on to that old thing, it's worth anything!"

Cheng Yaoqing took out the mountain climbing talisman from his arms according to his words, and lit it in his palm, and the master and apprentice chased after him wildly in the wind.

The wind swept through the forest, and the noisy insect chirping was drowned out by the sound of the waves. And on the main road, no other sounds can be heard. Two caravans of corpses meandered through the avenue like two giant centipedes. More than 100 zombies landed at the same time, and the dull sound of "Knock! Knock!" spread in all directions.

Chase for two or three miles. There was a curve in the road ahead. The wide field of vision suddenly closes at the turning point of a shot. The trees on both sides have also changed from sparse to dense, and the tall cypress trees are like thousands of giant halberds piercing into the sky. Shi Zuxiao stared carefully at the road. In the distance, I saw the footprints of the people on the ground in front of me, and the two ridges of dirt made of wet mud.

"The old guy stopped here. What trick is he playing? "With a palm, he stopped his mount, and Shi Zuxiao stopped ten zhang in front of the two mounds of dirt. He looked up and down hesitantly, but he couldn't understand it, and his eyes shimmered on the road ahead, but his view was blocked by two rows of high walls of trees.

It can be concluded that these piles of soil must have been left by Fan Tongyou and a few people. Because when the detective corpse followed the three of them just now, there were no such things on the road. There were no people or pedestrians on the left. In such a short period of time, no one would be so bored and playing with the mound.

"Master, what's wrong?" Cheng Yaoqing caught up from behind, stopped the zombie next to Shi Zuxiao and asked.

"The old guy set up in front of him. ”

Cheng Yaoqing looked at the road ahead suspiciously, and also saw the ridges piled up into crosses. Those two piles of dirt didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. "What kind of formation is this?"

Shi Zuxiao shook his head and didn't answer, and his two eyes quickly looked at the environment on the left and right again. The trees are dense and the water is flowing, and it is a shady place. In a place where the water and qi are strong, what kind of formation should be put up? He silently calculated the Five Elements Shengke in his heart, and it was only for a moment. It was suddenly clear in my heart, and I couldn't help but look proud.

This place is full of water and air, suppressing fire and suppressing soil. In this game, fire is out of the question. And using the earth array or the golden array to deal with zombies is not very likely. Previously, the old drunkard was chased and killed by the master and apprentice. He had already seen Shi Zuxiao's earth-walking corpse technique, and he would never be ignorant enough to use the chaotic earth formation method to delay. And to set up a golden killing array. A large amount of iron and bronze tools were needed, and the old drunkard and his party traveled lightly. He knows whether he has weapons on him or not. Therefore, the only possible thing is the thunder. Fan Tongyou wanted to injure zombies by accumulating water vapor and triggering thunder.

"That's a good idea!" Shi Zuxiao sneered secretly in his heart. Fan Tongyou naturally knew that in such a short period of time, the power of the formation would definitely be limited. The old drunkard is not stupid, he set up this formation, thinking that he is just hoping to delay himself for some time. "If I'm not cautious and hurry to catch up, maybe I'll get into your middle and be bombarded by thunder. If you're worried about getting hurt, stop and clear your formation first, and you'll also take the opportunity to escape...... Hey, the old thing has a good plan!"

Shi Zuxiao smiled and said to his apprentice: "Yaoqing, we have to use some blood." The old thief has set up a lightning array, and we have to add a lightning protection charm to the zombies. ”

"Yes, master. Cheng Yaoqing opened the cloth bag in his arms, took out more than ten lightning charms and handed them to the master. This lightning charm is a secret method passed down by the corpse gate for expelling corpses, which is different from the lightning protection spell carried by ordinary characters in the rivers and lakes. The people in the corpse gate drive away zombies all year round, and there will always be thunderstorms in the wild, and the dead corpses are mostly shady things, and they are the most affected by thunderstorms. If there is no powerful lightning charm to fight, maybe many precious and rare zombies will be blown into ashes. In view of this worry, the predecessors of the corpse gate continued to explore and improve, refining this secret talisman and passing it on to the younger generations.

The lightning charm is not easy to draw, and the effect is amazing. A spell can keep more than ten zombies from thunder for three hours, which is really a treasure. But at the moment, Shi Zuxiao can't take care of this much, compared to the soul shaping spectrum in Fan Tongyou's hand, the weight of these charms goes without saying. The master and apprentice ran like a whirlwind, quickly igniting the talisman leaves, and blessing the spell to the corpses, but with half a bag of cigarettes, the spell showed its work, and a small electric fire flickered in the ear holes of each dead corpse, and there was also a gray mist flowing on the surface of the skin.

"Alright, let's chase, don't let the old guy run away again. Shi Zuxiao jumped on the zombie's shoulder and said with a cruel smile: "Look what tricks you have this time? Old fellow! Can you hide from the first year of junior high school and survive the fifteenth, this time you have to hand over the soul shaping spectrum obediently! Go! Yaoqing!"

"Pass the living method, move and stop, listen to the sound and follow the yin and yang road......!" Cheng Yao sang the spell of chasing corpses, and when he shook the bell in his palm, more than 100 zombies shook their upper bodies and leaned forward at the same time.

"Swift Order! Order! Order!"

The zombies pursed their lips and let out a low chirp and leaped forward. The two lines of people rose and fell, and quickly jumped into the formation.
