Chapter Twenty-Seven: Crossing the Great River, Evil Spirits Devouring People

For several days, everyone was only in the military camp for the most basic physical enhancement training, and when it was late, the two sons of the dynasty and the royal court went to the city to be chic, and several teenagers led by the two brothers also ate and drank spicy food, only Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaochuan were often in the army's library, studying the strange words on the "Demon Refining Formula" together, or discussing the various mysterious and difficult words and phrases in the "Mahayana Secret of the Great Breaking Realms". Ling Huwu somehow basically didn't leave the barracks, so he stayed in the army alone, sometimes chatting with those real armored warriors, sometimes watching them learn tricks, as if he had become a veteran, and the short boy who had ridiculed General Wang Mang, who was originally a non-talkative personality, occasionally went to the library to read some idle books, and occasionally went alone for additional training.

This night, when Wang Chao and others returned, the military camp also reached the time of martial law, a little talk and laughter, everyone hurriedly turned off the lights to sleep, about midnight, Vice General Qin suddenly rushed into the tent where everyone slept, holding a gong in his hand, knocking the alarm a few times and shouting: "Fire, everyone get up quickly, follow me to fight the fire, the latest will be severely punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Vice General Qin struck the gong again, startling everyone to jump up in a daze, and when they reacted, someone had already rushed out with agility, and it turned out to be a master who didn't take off his clothes while sleeping! Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaozhou ran out with their clothes and pants, wearing them as they ran, and Ling Huwu rushed over with a pair of boots in his hand and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, where is the fire?"

I heard Wang Chao shouting at him: "Idiot! Where is this fire, it is clearly emergency training, and it will test our adaptability!" When he said that, everyone followed Vice General Qin out of the barracks, only to see Vice General Qin throw the gong on the horse's back, at this time, the horse was already sitting on the big golden knife with a copper ring, Yan Qi was dressed in battle armor, the iron helmet on his head took the gong and shouted: "Everyone follow me, and the last one to arrive will run two hundred miles tomorrow!"

While the words were still in the wind, Yan Qi had already spurred his horse and ran towards the depths of the night, and there was a thunderous sound like a gong rainstorm in the distance.

Shi Xiaoyi only had time to say to Yao Xiaochuan: "Follow me!" The others were already desperately rushing out, these two hundred miles plus running was not fun, it was originally a heavy training, if it was another two hundred miles, wouldn't people have to collapse?

Half an hour later, Yan Qi's crotch iron horse has been waiting on the beach of the Yuxi River, in the dark night, two soldiers holding torches to shine around, the first dynasty, followed by Ling Huwu, Wang Ting immediately arrived, Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaozhou ran side by side with the other two, almost on the same line, Wang Chao was excited to wave his arms to celebrate, but Yan Qi snatched the words: "The end point is the field army camp on the other side of the river, everyone is not allowed to cross the bridge, must swim to cross the river!"

The iron horse ran and rushed towards the bridge instead, the dynasty gritted his teeth with hatred, but seeing that Ling Huwu, Shi Xiaoyi, Yao Xiaochuan and others were about to chase after him, where did they dare to hesitate and run towards the big river without thinking, and it only took a moment for the sound of "popping" to splash.

Shi Xiaoyi hurriedly asked Yao Xiaozhou if he could swim, and Yao Xiaozhou replied without thinking: "Absolutely can't drown, you go to the other side, don't be dragged down by me!"

Shi Xiaoyi's ability to swim is really like a fish in water, his hands and feet do not move, people borrow the water potential, and float to the depths of the river silently, Yao Xiaozhou is a landlubber splashing in the water, making a burst of waves, the whole body still can't stop sinking to the bottom of the river, the more deep the river, the more nervous Yao Xiaozhou is slapping the waves, as a result, he choked on water, coughed violently, Shi Xiaoyi looked up to see him, the night was thick, I couldn't see Yao Xiaozhou's face clearly, so I heard him say: "I'm fine, you go, hurry up to the field camp!"

Shi Xiaoyi glanced at a few black spots that were still chasing in the distance, swallowed wildly, and then dived into the water, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Yao Xiaozhou, his left arm clamped Yao Xiaozhou's arm, and his right arm pushed away the waves, driving the two of them to the shore with the strength of one person, but he didn't want to move only half a step away, so he heard Yao Xiaozhou scream: "There is a water ghost!"

"Don't scare yourself, where in this world are there any ghosts, it's all nonsense!" Shi Xiaoyi shouted, but the next moment he also realized that something was wrong, he could still move forward quickly with Yao Xiaozhou, but this was just a blink of an eye, Yao Xiaozhou's body was more than a hundred catties, and it was almost the strength of the three Yao Xiaoboats combined that was dragging him back.

Only at this moment of hesitation, Yao Xiaozhou's whole person began to sink to the bottom of the river, and the words in his mouth were only vaguely shouted a few words and were flooded by the river, as if shouting "water ghost", Shi Xiaoyi kicked the river suddenly, the whole person rushed forward, the waves splashed, and the sound of the river was clearly recognizable, but Yao Xiaozhou's whole person took off his palm, and only half of his head was still on the water.

Three black shadows swam bravely from far and near, and they heard the voice of Deputy General Qin shouting: "Hasn't he already trained in water sports, how can he still be drowned!"

Shi Xiaoyi didn't care about him, he held his breath, like a carp muddy, and the whole person disappeared on the water.

At the bottom of the river, gloomy and dark, Shi Xiaoyi rushed in the direction of Yao Xiaozhou, and caught Yao Xiaozhou's arm that was still struggling and fluttering, Shi Xiaoyi's body was like a swimming fish, the center of gravity condensed downward, and the whole person fell rapidly, he groped his soles along Yao Xiaozhou's body with both hands, but where was there any foreign object, and it was not a weed? Yao Xiaozhou's whole body trembled suddenly, frantically as if he was fighting with some monster in the water, the waves were splashing, Shi Xiaoyi clearly felt Yao Xiaozhou's horror, and turned to the other side of his body, and suddenly, a white light flashed in front of him, and he saw a sailor's whole person like a zongzi, tightly entangled, and his frightened face and mouth roared, but the waves drowned out all the cries for help, what was that entangled him? Shi Xiaoyi didn't have time to think deeply, hugged Yao Xiaozhou, who was struggling in confusion, and rushed towards the water.

But who would have thought that all of a sudden, Shi Xiaoyi only felt that his whole body was tight, his mind was drowsy, and he was about to fall asleep, and at this moment, his whole person went two or three feet deep into the water, and Shi Xiaoyi struggled several times where could he stop sinking. Yao Xiaozhou seemed to have seen this scene and turned around to save him, but Shi Xiaoyi was like hanging a thousand catties of boulders, Yao Xiaozhou pulled desperately, and only two people fell down together, and they were getting farther and farther away from the water at all.

Shi Xiaoyi's palm slapped out, pushing Yao Xiaozhou away, Yao Xiaozhou was about to pounce to save him, and was pushed away again, the two brothers didn't let me, I didn't let you, and finally Shi Xiaoyi couldn't bear it, a few bubbles spit out, opened his mouth wide and shouted at Yao Xiaozhou, where could Yao Xiaozhou hear what he was shouting, just shook his head vigorously, and suddenly, crying, a terrible cry came from the bottom of the water, as if it was a tragic death, entangled in the hatred of the world, which made the two brothers subconsciously shiver.

Shi Xiaoyi suddenly came to his senses, his palm was gaining momentum, and he slapped Yao Xiaozhou's chest fiercely, he was trying to use this fierce palm power to slap Yao Xiaozhou back to the water, so as to be saved by others, who knew that Yao Xiaozhou grabbed his sleeve tightly, only had time to snort, the clothes he had put on in a hurry immediately opened his chest, the talisman bead hanging around his neck rose and fell in the water, and suddenly the golden light flashed, and the two brothers seemed to have a thunderclap in their ears, and when they came back to their senses, Shi Xiaoyi was surprised to find that his body was no longer restrained, so why bother why, on the other hand, Yao Xiaozhou gradually gave up struggling, and the whole person hung in the water like duckweed, Shi Xiaoyi dragged his arm and rushed to the water, he was scared, afraid that Yao Xiaochuan would have to go back if he was too late.

The two brothers only came out of the water, and they heard the noise on both sides of the strait, and the sound of water rushed towards the two of them from far and near, as if they were sailor soldiers lurking on the side to prevent accidents, only to hear a young man who was about to chase Shi Xiaoyi shout in horror: "There is a ghost crying, it is a ghost crying, he is coming to ask for his life!"

Shi Xiaoyi leaned on the posture of his legs in the water, swam towards the river beach, and at the same time pressed Yao Xiaozhou's people very regularly, and muttered vigorously: "Don't scare me, we are on the shore, we will be safe as soon as we reach the shore, and it will be fine." ”

Yao Xiaozhou woke up slowly, a few splashes of water erupted from his mouth, and saw that it was Shi Xiaoyi who saw an evil ghost, and shouted: "Three eyes, he has three eyes, he is a person!"

"Xiaozhou, wake up, this is me, I am Xiao Yi! There are no ghosts, if anyone dares to harm you, I will definitely kill them all, don't be afraid!" Shi Xiaoyi swam to the shore with Yao Xiaozhou in his arms and shouted angrily.

Yao Xiaozhou looked panicked, but said: "I see them again, they are coming to me again, yes, they are all living at the bottom of the river, piles of corpses, dead, but they all want to come back, I clearly see them swimming towards me!"

After a lot of noise, the torches gradually gathered on the river beach, Shi Xiaoyi dragged Yao Xiaozhou to the river beach, he was already exhausted, and the whole person was paralyzed, Yan Qi rushed to the two brothers and shouted: "What the hell is going on?"

Yao Xiaozhou grabbed Shi Xiaoyi's arm, gasped and replied: "General, I saw a ghost, there is a ghost at the bottom of this river!"

Yan Yan was stunned, and seemed to have thought of something, turned around and shouted to everyone: "Everyone retreats to the river beach, and no one is allowed to go down to the river to save people!"

Vice General Qin staggered to Yan Qi and whispered, "General Yan Qi, should we have met the legendary evil ghost?"

Yan Que just shook his head speechlessly, his face was cold and grim, and he didn't dare to make up his mind, a man wearing the costume of the deputy general of the Navy ran over, looked at the faces of Yan Quan and Deputy General Qin, and said miserably: "The whereabouts of the two brothers are unknown." ”

Wang Ting also walked to Yan Qi's side at some point, and frowned: "Could it be that the rumor is true? ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't dare to answer again, Wang Chao appeared behind the royal court, and shouted with a gloomy face: "This is absolutely true, over the years, whoever dares to go deep into the bath river, there will always be an accident from time to time, Yan Qi, you even dare to ask us to cross the bath stream, is it deliberately trying to kill me!"

Vice General Qin hurriedly smiled and said: "Son, don't be angry, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, Dahe has that kind of dirty thing, it's just a rumor, who has really seen it!"

Wang Ting sneered: "That's because everyone I've seen is dead. ”

At the bottom of the torch, a young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks suddenly ran from the river in ecstasy, covered in mud and sand, and carried something in his hand, and when he ran closer, everyone saw that he was carrying a pair of leather boots, and when he arrived in front of the dynasty, he smiled and said: "Brother Chao, you see that I helped you find the leather boots, and now you don't have to go back to the barracks barefoot." ”

Shi Xiaoyi sneered again and again but didn't speak, seeing that Yao Xiaochuan gradually regained his calm, two brothers, you look at me, I look at you, suddenly grinned, Yao Xiaozhou covered his chest and coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "I was injured by you again, I guess you have to beat me to death before you give up, I have always remembered these accounts." ”

Shi Xiaoyi frowned, and suddenly stretched out his fist and smashed it three times on his chest, making an expression of pain and wanting to die, and said to Yao Xiaozhou: "Ah! I'm dead, and I can't pay off my debts, so you better find someone else to ask for silver!"
