Chapter 122: The underworld conspiracy, boiled frogs in warm water
Yongcheng.
This time, the mummy smelling of corpses was the first to arrive at the gathering place.
Then the crow with small eyes but flashing light from time to time flew in.
This time, the densely packed leather puppets sewn with thick threads were hiding in the trees.
The skeleton still crawled out of the ground, and the red-dressed paper-making woman still rode a donkey, slowly and leisurely.
But the old man, a shadow puppet artist who originally used shadow puppetry as a disguise, came to the scene in person.
The only painting he has at the Night Traveler level is the old cow.
As soon as he appeared, everyone else was shocked.
Why did this painted man actually show up?
The old man who was a skin painter looked solemn at this moment.
"My old cow is dead. Don't ask me how he died. I don't know either."
As soon as these words came out, the others also became serious, the atmosphere was solemn, and an idea suddenly appeared in their minds.
It seems that the death of Hong Gu's paper-tying man was not an accident. She had been targeted for a long time.
You know, the old cow of the skin painter is a unique painting skin, because it can appear during the day.
He is about to die, and his aura is mixed. As long as he is careful, he may be able to hide it even if he makes a cursory inspection.
Now that all the old cows of the skin painter have been in trouble, it seems that those people in Daxia Dynasty have really been prepared for it.
"Those three guys from Zhao Hai have arrived in Yongcheng today."
At this time, the paper-tying man in red suddenly spoke.
The old man, a skin painter, was shocked.
In fact, as soon as Lao Niu died, he felt a little panicked, so he chose to escape immediately, so he did not find out the news.
"Is the news true?"
The paper-tying man nodded.
"And the first place they showed up in Yongcheng was to go to the western suburbs to check on the strange situation in this secret place.
Because of this, I didn’t send my skeleton over, otherwise it would also make my skeleton go further.”
The skeleton spoke at this time, not caring at all that he was the skeleton in his mouth.
Because what they represent now is their respective true bodies, not themselves.
When the old man, a skin painter, heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and think.
Before, he kept old cattle in the wild forests of the western suburbs.
In other words, my old cow just happened to encounter the three traveling envoys of the Great Xia Dynasty?
If this is the case, my old cow died unjustly.
I was careless after all.
"Besides the three of them, are there any other situations?"
Everyone else shook their heads.
The crow flapped its wings and spoke quietly.
"I have flown all over Yongcheng, and I haven't found any other secret arrangements in Yongcheng."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They didn't expect this crow to be so bold, which was beyond their expectations.
However, from this point of view, on the surface, Yongcheng is now supported by Zhao Hai and the three Japanese envoys.
At this time, the old man, a skin painter, suddenly said harshly: "In this case, let's not hide it anymore.
Just like now, because we think too much, we are defeated by them one by one.
Hong Gu’s paper-making figure and my old cow-painted skin are all painstaking efforts.
But now, just because of our fear of the Great Xia Dynasty, they seized the opportunity and defeated us one by one.
Now that the secret land is about to open, it's time to draw the sword. No matter how much we hide, it will be useless.
Since the Daxia Dynasty has fully demonstrated its power on the surface, we will force them to show their power in the dark."
Several people said nothing and were all deep in thought, obviously considering whether his words were right or not.
"Yes, let's work together now to force them to submit."
"But, the secret land hasn't really appeared yet, do we really want to take action on them all?"
"This time and that time, as lurkers before, we were the dominant party with poor information.
But now, we are obviously on the side with poor information. Think about what happened to Hong Gu and I.
If you don't want to be like us and have something happen to this crow, this skeleton, the mummy, and the leather puppet, then just listen to me.
Now that everyone is together, we can support each other, so things are less likely to go wrong.
In fact, if it weren't for the secret realm, I would have wished you were short-sighted and damaged your own foundation."
As soon as he said this, several other people understood what he meant and nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you come here in person? Even if the Yongcheng day tour envoy comes now, it will be six against four at most."
This four refers to the mysterious Yongcheng Japanese envoy who previously solved the crisis in Liucheng.
They still don't know the specific information about this Japanese traveler.
Not long after, a clean man with longer fingers than women strolled over.
As soon as the leather puppet saw him, he sat on his shoulders.
He is a connector.
This leather puppet is not made by a skin painter, but sewn by a stitcher.
But at first glance, many people may mistakenly think that the leather puppets are the masterpieces of skin painters.
Then a skinny old man wearing Baijia clothes appeared, and he put the mummy directly into the coffin.
Corpse chaser.
He is countless times more powerful than the corpse chaser from the General's Tomb.
At this time, the crow flew onto the shoulder of a man in a cloak and black clothes, and he couldn't see the face of the person clearly.
Beast Tamer.
The papermaker is a woman, sitting in a sedan chair, almost exactly the same as the way the papermaker appeared.
However, the papermaker is a young and beautiful woman who stands out among this group of weirdos.
At this time, the skeleton turned into a skull necklace, and then a bald head appeared, and he directly put the necklace around his neck.
His face is full of fat, his feet are bare, and he behaves strangely.
This is a psychic.
Like the Connector, the skin idol is the tool of the skin painter, but his skeleton is a psychic skull.
The psychic turned out to be not a crow, but a skeleton.
Several people sneered in their hearts.
As expected, everyone has their own hidden agenda, hoping that the enemy will make a wrong judgment. If Lao Niu is here, he may mistakenly think it is the work of the beast master.
But who would have thought that his method was the crow, and the crow is a commonly used tool for psychics.
The master of the leather puppet is the connector, and the skeleton is the means of the psychic.
It can only be said that these people are actually scheming against each other and each makes others take the blame.
The only honest people left were the corpse chasers and the papermakers. They were sneering at this moment, and they were in the same camp and plotting against each other.
However, isn’t this the tradition of the Yins?
This is the first time that the true forms of the six sun-traveling envoys on the bright side of the Yin Division have gathered in Yong City.
This is a force that can subvert a small country.
But in Yongning Mansion, they didn't dare to mess around.
Because this is the land of Daxia.
Those crazy people in Daxia are each more ruthless than the other.
If it weren't for the secret place, they wouldn't want to enter the land of Daxia.
The Great Summer Travel Envoys outside the territory of Great Xia are not as crazy as the Summer Travel Envoys within Great Xia.
"Okay, what should we do next to force Daxia's secret power to show up?"
"It's very simple, boil the frogs in warm water, and when they have no one to use, the power hiding in the dark will inevitably appear.
After all, don’t they always say that everything they do is for the people of Daxia?”
"Okay, but how exactly does it work?"
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
The old man, a skin painter, spoke quietly at this time.
"I left my shadow puppet guy in a town in Yongcheng."
When other people heard this, their eyes lit up.
Even if this old guy ran away, he would never forget to leave a nail behind.
"Then start there.
From now on, the six of us must be together at all times and not give the Great Xia Dynasty a chance to defeat each other."
"OK."
...
Yongcheng.
After saving Zhang Sanyi's life, Liang Du was not idle for the next half day.
A common man actually set up a statue of a god in his home and worshiped and prayed for blessings every day.
The Great Xia Dynasty strictly prohibited the establishment of private gods, but unexpectedly, in Yongcheng, there were still people who secretly set up gods and knelt down to worship them.
But this time, due to the sudden change of the secret place, he also suffered a life crisis.
Under the folding of space, this guy who was originally enjoying the incense was not able to take shape. By chance, intelligence was born in the cracks of space.
This kind of weird intelligence that appeared out of private incense is the so-called god. They immediately thought about how to grow stronger.
For example, sucking human yang energy.
Then combine it with incense to make yourself stronger.
Fortunately, Liang Du discovered it in time, smashed the statue on the spot, and rescued the people in their dreams.
But then, they were taken away by the city guards.
Setting up a statue of a god privately is a violation of the laws of Great Xia.
What awaits him will be jail time.
However, this statue is strange because it was created by a mutation. It is just an ordinary evil spirit, leaving no scent of incense.
In addition, Liang Du also dealt with a strange incident, and the protagonist was an old man who died just two days ago.
The old man is also dying at the end of his life.
It's just because my son who is doing business outside has not come back, he is still wandering and wants to wait until the first seven days before leaving.
After all, he didn't even see his son for the last time before his death.
It's a pity that this time due to the strange changes in the secret place, he was originally hiding behind the shadow of the tablet, but by chance, he became the situation.
As I said before, whether it is because of obsession or resentment, the wandering soul remains in the world.
As long as they become evil spirits, they will have the urge to eat people.
This has nothing to do with their temperament during their lifetime.
It is only related to the life form of the evil spirit.
This is the law of nature. Evil spirits naturally want to suck the yang energy of human beings. This is their habit.
Liang Du made quick moves these two times, and neither resulted in tragedy.
A total of three gray marks were obtained on this day, and Liang Du felt very good about himself.
As long as you act quickly and these weird things don't happen, nothing will happen to the people, and you can still light up the mark.
From this point of view, this strange mutation is actually not a bad thing.
Thinking of this, Liang Du was afraid that he would not find out in time and wasted time, so he pulled Fang Xiu along.
After all, Fang Xiu is a descendant of the Xiang family, so he can be considered a master at detecting strange things.
And he only needs to detect where there is something abnormal, and then he can solve the trouble himself.
So I called him here just to improve my efficiency.
However, although this evil spirit can also appear during the day due to the sudden change in the secret place, the probability is actually very small.
Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
So after a busy day, Liang Du's business never opened again.
As for the western suburbs, it was the focus of Liang Du's care, but unfortunately nothing strange happened there.
But the old beggar still stayed there, watching the charlatans, monitoring them and preventing them from messing around.
It's a pity that I have clearly told these quacks that this is just the mutation stage and there will be no opportunities.
But they still didn't want to leave, no matter how they tried to persuade them, it was of no use.
People are always selfish.
They all feel that they are one of a kind.
He is the son of destiny.
You are most likely to get the chance.
So, they stayed there and no one left.
.....
County government.
After Zhao Hai and Gu Shu discussed the future arrangements, the three of them also relaxed.
At this time, the movements in the city were always under their radar.
And Liang Du did not deliberately hide his figure at this time. After all, Du Zhishan said it was okay, and there was no need for him to hide himself.
Maybe we'll have to cooperate with them in the future, so it's better to be more open-minded and just tacitly agree.
So after seeing Liang Du deal with the weird things one after another, Feng Rufeng couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Misreading.
This guy can actually deal with weird things.
Then in the western suburbs, I had only sensed superficial information about Liang Du, leading me to mistakenly believe that he only knew external skills.
But in history, has any external martial arts practitioner been able to hide from their day traveler?
impossible!
Therefore, this guy is definitely on the same level as myself.
Thinking of this, Feng Rufeng looked at Liang Du and felt a little confused.
Unfortunately, I thought he was a heroic young man and wanted to get him to join the army.
Unexpectedly, the clown was myself.
He was born in the army, has an upright temperament, and feels uncomfortable whenever he feels uncomfortable.
But Shen Tong and Shen Datou looked at Liang Du with great interest.
"Master Gu, I wonder if you know this young man?"
Shen Hai used his energy to create the general appearance of Liang Du.
The most important thing is that lazy temperament.
Gu Shu immediately recognized who this was and nodded immediately.
"Of course, he was the one who solved the crisis in Liucheng at the beginning, and it is precisely because of him that Yongcheng has persisted until now."
Sure enough, this guy is the mysterious Japanese envoy from Yongcheng.
I'm afraid this guy is also an old monster from Gada.
Even though he is very old, he still pretends to be young.
After all, which day traveler hasn't spent countless hours practicing, and only with great luck can he achieve success?
So Liang Du is definitely not young.
"Do the three adults want to see him?"
The three of them shook their heads together.
I was embarrassed in front of him just now and failed to notice his abnormality. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to meet him now?
They can be generous in front of the people because of the huge disparity in strength.
But if they are in the same position, they are also ordinary people and will care about everything.
"No, we still need to discuss some details next, so please help Mr. Gu prepare the room for us and let us take a rest first."
Gu Shu also noticed their embarrassment at this time, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
"good."
At this moment, everything inside and outside Yong City seemed to be peaceful.
But the next day, early in the morning, a city guard rushed into the city on horseback.
"Something bad happened. All the residents of Heyuan Town disappeared mysteriously!"
