Chapter Ninety-Six: Target Locked

"Belle, the quality of your soft whip seems to be good, did you get it during the mission?" asked Huang Yun during the small talk. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, after surviving the first night, Belle went out with her in search of opportunity, and was caught in the ankle by a tree stick. The moment you hold it in your hand, the tree becomes this soft whip. Lin Beibei muttered.

"Oh, this is a little weird! Is this fate?" Huang Yun thought secretly in his heart.

"Does this treasure have a name?" After a moment of silence, Huang Yun's eyes flashed.

"Yes, on the handle of the whip, it says Soul Devouring Vine. ”

"Oh, that's an interesting name!" Huang Yun muttered.

More than two hours later, the two saw a small river dozens of zhang wide from a distance, on both sides of the river, there were thousands of households, on the surface of the river, two stone arch ancient bridges across the river.

Seeing this scene, the two naturally knew that this was Shuangqiao Town.

There was a ghostly light flashing in Huang Yun's eyes, and everything in Shuangqiao Town was in full view.

After a stick of incense, Huang Yun felt a little tired and stopped the output of his soul body. Closing his eyes, his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

"What's the matter, Lord Wang?" Lin Beibei, who was on the side, noticed that Huang Yun was a little strange, and asked with concern.

"Strange. Huang Yun said to himself.

"Strange, strange what?" asked Lin Beibei, puzzled.

"Let me ask you, everything is very normal, do you think this is abnormal?" Huang Yun looked at Lin Beibei and asked.

"Very normal? It's nothing! Normal is normal, why is it abnormal?"

"Yes, the problem is very normal. Huang Yun suddenly thought of something, smiled mysteriously, and stopped talking.

"What the hell! Tell Belle about it. ”

"The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it," Huang Yun smiled, and pulled Lin Beibei towards the Lin family's industry, Lin Jiazhuang.

Linjiazhuang is much larger than the average farmhouse. It covers an area of more than ten miles, with thousands of households, and the residents on the village are all tenants of the Lin family.

After walking into the village and inquiring a little, I came to the Lin family's mansion. Although Ah Fu is the director here, the name of the mansion will not be changed.

took out the token and showed it to the servant who handled the door, and the servant respectfully led Huang Yun and the others in.

After waiting in the middle hall for a while, a man in his thirties hurriedly walked in.

"In the lower king Agui, I don't know what the two of you are called?"

"Who are you, Ah Fu?" asked Huang Yun without answering.

"It's my brother who is down. Wang Agui said.

"Well, the two of us are here to track down the haunting, and now I'm asking you. Are there any ancient ruins or scenic sites around here?" asked Huang Yun after nodding slightly.

"Ancient ruins? I haven't heard of that. Shuangqiao Town is very small, and there will be no scenic spots. Wang Agui was confused, and didn't understand the connection between tracking down hauntings and ancient ruins.

"Is there a scholar in the village?" Huang Yun frowned slightly, knowing that he couldn't ask Wang Agui anything.

"Yes, the Xu family kid was admitted to Xiucai last year, and he is a well-known talent in the neighborhood. Wang Agui thought for a while and said.

"Go and get him. Huang Yun commanded lightly.

"Yes!" Wang Agui clasped his fists and ran out.

After a stick of incense, Wang Agui led a young man dressed as a scholar and walked in.

"Alright, you go down first, I'll look for you if there's something." Huang Yun kicked Wang Agui out.

"What do you call it?" Huang Yun asked as he looked at the young man with a delicate face.

"Late born Xu Maoqi, I don't know what the two of you call it, why did you recruit late students here?" Xu Maoqi saw Lin Beibei's expression stunned, and then he hurriedly lowered his head and asked.

"It's nothing. Just looking for someone to learn a little bit about the history of this place. Huang Yun smiled and sat the boy down.

"History, what is history?" Xu Maoqi was stunned for a moment, and there was surprise in his eyes.

"It's the big thing that happened here. Huang Yun explained with a smile.

"Oh, this one, I really know this in my later life. When Xu Maoqi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"I want to hear about it. Huang Yun smiled.

"If you don't say anything else, let's just say that our Xicheng has a great history. ”

"Do you know why this Xicheng is called Xicheng?" asked the young man mysteriously.

"Please say," Huang Yun couldn't help but smile secretly at this young man who was a little crazy. When I first saw Lin Beibei, I was still restrained, but at this time, I was like a river.

"Speaking of which, Xicheng was originally called Licheng, which was named because of the abundance of a kind of koi fish here. ”

"Oh, then why did you change your name later?" Huang Yun asked with some interest.

"This has to be said of a rebellion that occurred a thousand years ago. The young man coughed and fell silent.

Huang Yun was not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

"A thousand years ago, there was a man named Wu Yunjie in Licheng, who was born both civil and military. He used to be a soldier of the Yu Kingdom. ”

"One year, there was a drought in Yuguo, and there were people everywhere, and because the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, it caused a large-scale rebellion. ”

"Wu Yunjie is extraordinary, but he is unruly. He made a great contribution to quelling the turmoil. However, when the Emperor of Yu gave him a reward, he didn't know why, he collided with the Emperor of Yu when the court was headed, and the emperor was angry and demoted him back. ”

Although Wu Yunjie has a bad temper, he is like a brother to his subordinates. Almost all of the soldiers who quelled the rebellion with him back then followed Wu Yunjie to this city. Oh! At that time, it was still called Licheng. ”

Originally, this matter was over, but I never thought that within a few years, Yu was attacked and harassed by other countries, and the emperor of Yu thought of Wu Yunjie and wanted to reactivate him. But Wu Yunjie is very stubborn and refuses to obey the edict. Emperor Yu was furious, so he sent someone to behead Wu Yunjie's house. ”

"The soldiers who followed Wu Yunjie to settle here were furious, robbed the law field, and beheaded Licheng County Cheng at that time,"

"The court was furious when it learned about it, and sent heavy troops to quell the rebellion. In that battle, there were countless casualties. There was no coffin to bury the dead, so they were wrapped in straw mats. Later, there were no straw mats, so they were thrown directly into the mountains and buried en masse. The common people made fun of the court for killing innocents indiscriminately, and there were no straw mats, so they privately changed Licheng to Xicheng. ”

Hearing this, Huang Yun nodded slightly. I already have a number in my mind.

"Then I wonder where those people are buried?" Huang Yun asked casually.

"Not far away, it's more than twenty miles away from here. The boy pointed in the direction and said.

"Thank you! You can go back, study hard, and strive to serve the imperial court as soon as possible. As soon as the words fell, a gold ingot was thrown to the young man.

"Thank you!" the young man was overjoyed and walked out with the gold ingots in his arms.

"Lord Wang, do you doubt ......?"

"Well, you guessed it. Huang Yun nodded slightly.

"No way! A thousand years have passed. Why is it haunted until now?" said Lin Beibei suspiciously.

"Don't you know that a hundred years are stiff, and a thousand years are kings?" Huang Yun said with a somewhat solemn face.

"Zombie King?" Lin Beibei's face changed, and he asked with some shock.

"Nine times out of ten, that's true. Huang Yun scratched his head.

"But, didn't you say haunted, how could it be a zombie?" asked Lin Beibei curiously.

"There are many kinds of zombies, there are ordinary zombies, there are green-haired zombies, and white-haired zombies, commonly known as white zombies, white zombies walk at night, just like a demon wearing a white dress, very eye-catching, at the same time, the speed of white zombies is extremely fast, although it is not yet able to fly, but it is faster than the speed of a horse, and from a distance, it is more like flying. ”

"Ordinary people don't understand this, so naturally they can't tell if it's a zombie or a haunted. ”

"Then how can you be sure that it's a white zombie and not a haunted?" asked Lin Beibei, puzzled.

"During the day, we stopped outside Shuangqiao Town for a while, and I used my mind to probe the residents of Shuangqiao Town, where the residents did not seem to have anything unusual, but in fact there was a big problem, they behaved as usual, but they were always carrying out a certain pattern. ”

"Oh?

"Let's say a person is going to fetch water. When the bucket is full, it's time to move on to other things. However, I saw a man pouring water into the tank even after it was full. ”

Another example is that a person is drinking in a restaurant, and the wine glass is empty, but he is still doing the act of drinking, as if his existence is to do this act of drinking. ”

"Ghosts don't dare to come out during the day, and only half-human, half-corpse things can move in the daylight. ”

Hearing this, Lin Beibei fell silent.

"Actually, if you're in the middle of it, it's hard to see what's wrong with that, like if you see a guy fetching water, you don't go to his house to see if the tank is full, if a guy is drinking, you don't see if there's wine in his glass. Moreover, these people have not yet turned into zombies, so they do not have corpse qi on their bodies, but their intelligence has long been lost, so they will keep repeating one action in the town. ”

"Are these people people or ghosts?" Lin Beibei felt a chill all over his body when he heard this, and he had a chilling feeling.

For the time being, they are still human, but if they can't be awakened quickly, they will be zombies in less than three days. ”

"You know a lot, my lord. Lin Beibei said with admiration.

Huang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it wasn't because he was so knowledgeable, but because he had read a Xianxia novel, and combined with the scene he saw, he made such a guess.

"So what do we do next?" asked Lin Beibei worriedly.

"This way, let's go in two steps, you go to Shuangqiao Town to save people, and I go to Broken Soul Mountain to check. ”

"How to save people?" Knowing that this matter was very serious, Lin Beibei did not play tricks, and quickly asked.

"How many more of the Five Thunder Talismans you gave you last time?" Huang Yun asked as he changed the subject.

"There are still some of them, do you want them?" Lin Beibei took out a few talismans from his cuffs.
