Chapter 11: The Corpse of the Pontoon Village
Li Zixiu listened to Lan Xin'er's words, and seemed to have heard something herself, so the two turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"This is?!" Lan Xin'er covered her mouth and exclaimed when she saw what she was seeing.
On the ground where rats were rampant, those villagers who were already dead and lying on the ground actually got up from the ground one after another in front of Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er's eyes, could it be that these people came back to life? No, judging from the fact that these people stood up, some of them had blank eyes, some of them didn't even open their eyes at all, some of their faces were full of holes, some were bloodstained, and they might have become walking corpses with their swaying movements. These people made beast-like sounds from their mouths, and there was a faint stench coming from their bodies, and they walked towards Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er in twos and threes.
"Senior sister, be careful! These people are no longer human, be careful!" Li Zixiu watched these walking corpses walking towards them, walked up to Lan Xin'er and said solemnly, the Qiushui Sword on his shoulder was already in his hand.
Lan Xin'er looked at Li Zixiu's expression, and then watched the corpse not far away approaching, and quickly pulled out the long sword from her back and was ready to fight at any time.
"Senior brother, there is still nothing wrong with these corpse sisters. Lan Xin'er said unhurriedly to Li Zixiu.
"Ready!"
"Good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two senior brothers and sisters greeted them with long swords in their hands left and right, Li Zixiu still had a trace of pity for these corpses, thinking that after all, they used to be human beings, but now they have become like this, not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts. Li Zixiu did not use the long sword in his hand, but only relied on his fists and feet to wrestle with the corpses. "Senior brother, this won't work at all! It's better to get rid of all these corpses!" Lan Xin'er saw that her fists and feet had no effect on these corpses at all, and said loudly to Li Zixiu. "Okay!" Li Zixiu replied to Lan Xin'er as he unleashed his fists and kicks.
The two of them jumped back to back to the middle of the corpses, and slashed at the corpses one by one with their long swords, and the corpses that were cut fell to the ground one by one, and as if nothing happened, they got up from the ground again. There were more and more corpses around, which made the two of them a little nervous. "Senior brother, what should I do, these corpses can't be cut to death no matter how they are cut......" Lan Xin'er asked as she dealt with the corpses. "Use the spell quickly! Senior sister, get out of the way!"
Before the words fell, Li Zixiu had already retreated to the side and recited the spell, and Lan Xin'er, who was still surrounded by the corpse, heard Li Zixiu say this, and also killed the corpse and rushed out and came to Li Zixiu's side. I saw Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er hang the two Qiushui swords in the air at the same time, made a gesture, and said "Go!", the two long swords were like doppelgangers, conjuring up countless swords, and the tips of the swords were facing the corpses on the ground, but in an instant, the volleys of those swords "Boom" fell and were inserted into these corpses. The corpse man lay on the ground again for a moment, only to see Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er take out a yellow spell from their bodies at the same time, throw it at the corpse on the ground, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a flame and burned these corpses to the end of the bullet, and the two of them took back the long sword, which is really mysterious. "Senior brother, what's going on, isn't it the plague, why have these villagers turned into corpses?" Lan Xin'er looked at the corpses lying on the ground and asked suspiciously. "I don't know what's going on, let's see......" This matter also made Li Zixiu confused.
Lan Xin'er looked at Li Zixiu and said "um", followed him, and then walked to the depths of the pontoon village...... "Help! Who will save us......
At this moment, both of them heard the sound of a girl shouting not far away, and without thinking about it, the two of them ran quickly after the place where the shouting came from, and after a while they came to a big tree, and saw two or three corpses staggering towards the two weak young girls. "Oh no!
Li Zixiu flew towards the corpse man with an arrow step, the sword in his hand was not ambiguous, and he put the corpse on the ground with two or three strokes, and took out a charm, turning into flames and burning the corpse as before. When Li Zixiu saw that the corpse had been removed, he turned his head to look at the two girls who were sitting next to the big tree with their hands in their hands, and saw that the two girls were still trembling all over. "Senior brother is amazing!" Lan Xin'er said with a smile when she saw that Li Zixiu was one step ahead of herself to remove the corpse. "The two girls don't need to be afraid, the corpse has been removed by my senior brother. Lan Xin'er looked at the two girls who were still scared and said comfortingly.
As soon as the two girls heard that it was a girl talking, they raised their heads and looked around, and found that the corpse lying on the ground had become scorched earth, and then looked at Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er in front of them, and then they eased up. "Thank you two benefactors!" The two girls bowed down to Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er very gratefully, "The two girls don't need to be polite, please hurry up! Li Zixiu said as he helped the two girls up. "Engong, please ask, if my sisters know, they will definitely tell each other. One of the girls replied. "The poor brother and sister originally heard that there was a plague in the pontoon village and disturbed the people, but they didn't want to come here but saw these corpses, do you know why this is?" My sisters and other sisters are also villagers of this pontoon village, originally the life of the people in the village was very peaceful, until one day, the village Uncle Zhang died somehow, and invited a Taoist chief from the countryside to do things for Uncle Zhang, the Taoist said that the cause of Uncle Zhang's death was unknown, and he had to bury Uncle Zhang on the dead wood mountain not far from the village in order to keep the village safe, so the villagers listened to the words of the chief, and after two days, there were zombies in the village......" The girl said, her expression was very panicked, and she seemed to be frightened by the corpse.
"There is such a thing, Poor Dao guesses that the Daoist must not be a good person, I don't know where this dead wood mountain is? "Less than ten miles southwest of Pontoon Village, the mountain where I saw a lot of dead trees was Dead Wood Mountain. “
After listening to the narration of one of the girls, Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er knew the direction of Deadwood Mountain, and then asked the two girls to leave quickly. Then the two of them moved in the direction indicated by the girl, and after the girl's narration, Li Zixiu had a question in his heart, who was the Taoist priest that the girl was talking about, and why did he do such a conscientious thing? He thought that maybe it was just an accident, maybe it had nothing to do with the Taoist priest.
When Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er came to the foot of the mountain, the sky also darkened, and looking at the dead trees in front of them, Li Zixiu was sure that this was the dead wood mountain that the girl was talking about. "Senior brother, are we really going up the mountain? It's not early...... Lan Xin'er said to Li Zixiu as she looked at the darkened sky. "Go up the mountain, maybe there is a more difficult guy to deal with than these corpses waiting for us on the mountain, the Demon Guard Dao is what we should do, let's go, junior sister." After Li Zixiu finished speaking, he took another step.
It is said that Deadwood Mountain is indeed a mountain as its name, the mountain road is rugged, and I don't know why the mountain is full of dead trees, and there are no flowers and plants growing, and the mountain fog is very heavy, and I can only hear the ugly cries of a few crows on the trees, which is very eerie and terrifying. After a long trek, the two had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, although it was only halfway up the mountain, but Lan Xin'er was tired enough. "Senior brother, Xin'er is almost exhausted, you can let me rest for a while......" Lan Xin'er sat down against a big tree, panting and said to Li Zixiu.
Li Zixiu wanted to say something, but when he saw the sweat on Lan Xin'er's forehead, he acquiesced, and took out a handkerchief from his body and handed it to Lan Xin'er. "Look at you, wipe the sweat from your forehead first......" Li Zixiu said. "I know that Senior Brother loves Xin'er the most, hehe, thank you, Senior Brother. Lan Xin'er took the handkerchief in Li Zixiu's hand and said mischievously.
The two sat next to each other, looking at the gloomy and silent mountain, but it no longer seemed terrifying. Just as the two were talking and laughing, a red light in the air fell near them, what was it? The two were curious, and their senses told them that this might be a monster, Li Zixiu and Lan Xin'er stopped their previous leisurely self-satisfaction, cautiously raised their long swords, and walked towards the red light step by step. "Who?!!
The original red light gradually disappeared, but a person appeared in the place where the red light appeared, and the person heard footsteps approaching him, and asked in a sharp voice with an expressionless face. Li Zixiu knew that his whereabouts had been exposed when he heard the man's question, so he no longer tiptoed, and flew over with Lan Xin'er in a brisk step, both of them held the long sword in their hands and cut the man away, and the sword qi slashed through the sky and hit the ground, kicking up countless dust. I saw that the man blocked on one side, but he also acted as if nothing happened, and then pulled out the sword at his waist, and confronted the two with a leap, at this moment Li Zixiu's eyes widened, and he was a little at a loss. However, Lan Xin'er still used her long sword to use a series of stabs to stab at the man. Seeing that Lan Xin'er was coming quickly, the man took a few steps back, and when he saw this, Lan Xin'er naturally chased after him...... "Senior sister, stop it!" Li Zixiu saw that Lan Xin'er was still chasing and shouted sharply with his sword.
