Chapter 143 Human Fire Sacrifice (2 in 1)

February 15th.

The path going south is full of potholes, passes by single trees, and flows through streams. Two ragged wanderers on two lean horses are carefully riding the horses across the bridge.

One of them was wearing a dirty monk's robe, with a bald head and a thick, curly beard on his chin.

The thin horse riding under him had a large hairless bald spot on its buttocks, which seemed to have been removed by life. It was red and swollen.

The two of them were clearly a macho man and a monk in disguise.

Zheng Xiu and Ruchen continued south, avoiding Ye Weiyang's sphere of influence.

When approaching the area of ​​​​Numazhou, Zheng Xiu and Ruchen each rode a horse and did not encounter a single raven.

Zheng Xiu never heard the murmuring-like footsteps and breathing again.

If nothing else goes wrong, Zheng Xiu will stay away from crow farmers.

A few days ago, when the two of them climbed a mountain, they happened to meet a strong female hunter who went up the mountain to hunt. However, she was hunted and forced to climb a tree by a tiger. After Zheng Xiu drove away the tiger and rescued the female hunter,

The female hunter enthusiastically insisted on inviting the two saviors home for a hearty meal to repay her life-saving grace. Her words even vaguely revealed the meaning that a great kindness cannot be repaid in return, and it is better to pledge herself to each other.

After Ruchen lost his memory, his scope of activities was almost limited to Jiangjun Town. Although the journey with Zheng Xiu was mixed with the embarrassment of being on the run, the customs and snacks he had never heard of along the way opened his eyes.

It's so satisfying.

Approaching Tianyin Mountain, the terrain rose up layer by layer. Zheng Xiu found on the map that the nearest town to Tianyin Mountain was called "Jingtang Town". Zheng Xiu planned to prepare some clothes and dry food in Jingtang Town.

Instead, a high fire was built in the middle of the open space in the city and was burning vigorously. There was a wooden pillar on the fire, and a beautiful woman in ordinary clothes, holding a bright red swaddling clothes in her arms, was bearing the burden.

The pain of burning the body.

"I am a yellow-flowered girl~"

"It doesn't matter, I have countless advantages, and there is no doubt that I am brave and unparalleled. It's very good!"

Zheng Xiu didn't take Ruchen's "inner demon" embarrassment to heart at all, and pointed to a mountain in the southwest of Naozhou, with an annotation written underneath.

After all, Zheng Xiu hadn't had a good night's sleep in a month.

Zheng Xiu looked around, and his keen [intuition] immediately made him aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere in the city. But this was not a reminder of the approaching crisis, it simply made Zheng Xiu feel that the atmosphere was strange.

The lost huntress learned that the macho man and the monk wanted to go south, so she gave him a map, which recorded the main roads of the four southern states, some mountains, rivers, towns and villages. Finally, the strong female hunter reluctantly watched the macho man leave with tears in his eyes.

, I hope the macho man can leave a map so that he can see things and think about people.

Ruchen chuckled strangely, asking and answering questions to himself as if talking to the clay figurine: "Xiao Nini, tell me, what happened before?"

Ruchen is dissatisfied.

There was thick smoke and fierce fires burning in the city. Ruchen said that people were being burned to death in the front, but other people in the city were hiding in their homes with their doors and windows closed as if they didn't know?

Unless the people in the city knew that a fire would be set off today.

"Oh, we can't generalize about people's physiques. Maybe your flesh and blood smells better. Many years ago, I read a story about a monk named Tang Xuanzang who had thin skin and tender flesh. Legend has it that monsters and evil things ate his flesh.

, you can live forever and stay young forever..."

Ruchen was shocked and said: "The highest peak in the world, Tianyin Mountain? Legend has it that the snow there never melts all year round, making it difficult to go up and down the mountain. The terrain is so steep that even the most outstanding craftsmen cannot repair the hiking trails on Tianyin Mountain! If it happens,

The avalanche is so deadly, how could you even think of going there?"

Although one of Ruchen's personalities walks the "walking" method and walks like lightning, the muscular strength of the macho man is not fake, he is only a few steps slower than Ruchen.

After saying that, Ruchen turned around, waved his hand towards Zheng Xiu, ran quickly in the direction of the rising black smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

All in all, Ruchen's "inner demon" is harmless.

Ruchen slapped his neck with his palm, and when he opened his palm, he saw a giant mosquito as big as half a fingernail lying in his palm. At this moment, he was lying in Ruchen's palm, vomiting back the blood he had sucked not long ago.

In Ruchen's palm.

Zheng Xiu knocked Ruchen unconscious with one punch and threw him aside.

Ruchen lowered his head, with a bit of struggle in his eyes. But soon, Ruchen smiled casually: "Brother Zheng, it's time for the two of us to go our separate ways when we get here. I'll go take a look first. Brother Zheng doesn't need to follow.

Everything is based on the overall situation! Brother Zheng, go up the mountain first, find a secluded place, and quickly rescue the benefactor of Fengbei!"

With the cold wind blowing on his face, Ruchen scratched the bun on his head while listening to the "well-informed" brother Zheng telling the story of "monk meat". He finally got through it, shook the reins, and hurriedly ran out of the mosquito hunting range.

, turned around and asked: "Brother Zheng, now that we have entered the boundary of Maozhou, where are you planning to go?"

Halfway through the dense forest, Ruchen's head and neck, wherever exposed, were covered with large and small bumps.

Zheng Xiu raised his fist as big as a casserole and squeezed it hard, causing veins to appear on his fist.

"How could I not know?" Zheng Xiu interrupted Ruchen. Ruchen didn't know that Zheng Xiu had the skills to defeat ghosts, so he was so worried. It was understandable.

"Brother Zheng, do you really plan to be eaten into the scroll and sacrifice your life to rescue the benefactor of Fengbei?"

The dancing clay figures turned into yellow mud again, Ruchen stood up, and when he turned his head, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. Ruchen was surprised and said: "It seems like someone is burning to death in front of you? Huh?" After being surprised, Ruchen looked puzzled.

He scratched his head: "How did the young monk know?"

Of course, there is another possibility that if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen soon. Zheng Xiu did not dare to be careless, so he took the trouble to travel two thousand miles south.

Zheng Xiu smiled and waved his hand, answering the monk's questions and worries with a lighthearted joke.

This is the one among Ruchen's "inner demons", the one with a fierce personality, unscrupulous words, and the one who deserves a beating the most.

Zheng Xiu quietly looked away from Ruchen's reflective head.

Finally, I finally got out of the dense forest, and my eyes suddenly opened up.

Zheng Xiu has disheveled hair and ragged clothes. Now he can just find a piece of black cloth to cover his eyes and pretend to be a blind beggar on the street.

It is true that Ruchen will have "inner demons" from time to time, that is, the sub-personality will appear. But every time the sub-personality appears, it will usually be a few words. Ruchen will be online again soon. Even he himself does not know when "inner demons" appear.

What did what.

There were two more fat mosquitoes on the bald head.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng!"

Ruchen felt bad when he saw Zheng Xiu's haggard expression and his precarious appearance on the horse.

It's a magical witch!

Zheng Xiu followed Ruchen's gaze, and sure enough, there was a billowing black smoke rising from the city. They looked at it from a distance before entering the city but did not see it. It was obvious that the fire had just started.

"Yes!"

If we treat it as "intermittent illness" and "normal convulsions" like Ruchen, the problem doesn't seem to be big.

"Okay." Zheng Xiu patted Ruchen's shoulder and said calmly: "Don't forget what I said before, we need to keep a low profile and don't use random magic." Zheng Xiu stepped on "Ruchen's little

Nini", emphasized again: "Low-key, don't attract attention."

Ruchen ran and laughed, his laughter flying, as he entered the city.

This is the conclusion Zheng Xiu came to after killing Kui Lang.

"Brother Zheng, do you want to take a rest?"

Walking in the forest, Ruchen could even clearly hear the sound of groups of venomous snakes spitting messages.

For example, one night, Ruchen, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly got up, walked up to Zheng Xiu on cat steps, looked resentful, and said something scary:

"You heartless man! Why do you turn a blind eye to my beautiful face all day long?"

The macho man refused: "No need to."

As soon as he entered the city, Zheng Xiu noticed something strange. There was not a single person on the spacious street. There were three or two houses scattered at random, but all the doors and windows were tightly closed. There were faint sounds of people talking and breathing inside, and the adults kept their voices down.

The voice scolds a child.

"Bah!" Zheng Xiu squeezed out a smile on his tired face and cursed with a smile: "Go to your raven mouth and remove the words 'sacrifice one's life for righteousness'! I have no intention of sacrificing myself."

The hoarse voice hummed, and the accent changed nine times, as if singing a strange song. Zheng Xiu saw a stooped guy with a feathered mask on his face, wearing strange clothes, a bell on his body, and a drum on his waist.

, while shaking his body, making bell sounds, and at the same time beating drums in response, and dancing to the rhythm.

The key is to keep a low profile.

"Itchy skin?"

Zheng Xiu breathed a sigh of relief without encountering the pursuit of Raven and Ye Weiyang for more than ten days, but he also felt puzzled.

The climate in the south is completely different from that in the north, and there is also a certain gap between it and Shuzhou.

"Why do mosquitoes treat you like nothing?"

There is someone in the house! This is the weirdest place.

Tianyin Mountain is the natural chasm of Daqian. No one can cross Tianyin Mountain. The vast area of ​​​​Zhaozhou is adjacent to other countries, but there are no Shenwu troops stationed there. This is one of the reasons why Zheng Xiu chose to go south.

The next morning, Ruchen pointed at a swelling the size of an egg on his forehead and screamed in pain, feeling puzzled.

This short few breaths of crazy nonsense is quite interesting once you get used to it.

Zheng Xiu's pupils shrank and he was immediately shocked. What shocked him was not Shen Tiao Wu, let alone Ru Chen being pushed down.

"Huh?" Ruchen stretched out his hand and raised it to his ear, staring: "Huh? You said there is a smell of death in front of you? Burning people to death? It smells so stinky, so smelly of death?"
