The clouds are gathering, and the weather is colder than before. The flowers on the mountain have quietly closed their petals, but the trees are still resisting tenaciously. The cold wind blows around, causing many people to put on large cotton-padded jackets.
This is the south, and the weather at the beginning of summer feels like the beginning of winter. Many people were surprised and turned into panic. Someone actually died today, and they were frozen to death wearing cotton-padded jackets. It was really scary.
The street became a mess, and many people rushed to their homes to light fires. The patrols also became cautious, holding long swords in their hands to stop them from messing around, and guided everyone to walk, restoring silence to the street.
This city is a small city in the south. It is called "Yang City" because the sun stays here when it rises and sets, so it was named after the sun. The meaning of the older generation is very simple. They hope that future generations can last forever like the sun.
, facing the darkness without fear or sadness.
Yangcheng is small, but there are many people. The men, women and children here like to dress up and dress in their own tastes. Unfortunately, they are harmed by the weather. The sudden drop in temperature makes them unprepared. It is like spring all year round here, and it has never been so cold.
Everyone's fear has also deepened a lot.
There were very few people on the street, and a few soldiers were talking to each other. It turned out that there was a corpse lying on the ground. His face was pale, his lips had begun to freeze, and every part of his body was covered with hoarfrost, which could not be covered by the cotton-padded jacket.
Sudden cold.
brush!
The cold wind gusted, and several soldiers trembled a little. They squatted down and slowly lifted the body, and entered a mansion under the watch of everyone. When everyone wanted to follow them in, they were blocked by the soldiers. It turned out that this was the Yangcheng guard.
Ordinary people cannot enter Wu Zhong's mansion at all.
The door of the mansion was closed, and several soldiers placed the body in the courtyard. Wu Zhong came out quickly after hearing this. Looking at the strange dead man on the ground, he looked surprised and asked, "Why did he die so ugly?"
"General, the initial judgment is that this person was frozen to death." A soldier said.
Wu Zhong has a bald head, round eyes, slightly long ears, a round face, a pointed nose, and a scar between his lips. He is slightly fat and walks a little shaky. He wears silver armor, carries a scimitar at his waist, and speaks softly.
His whispering words were completely inconsistent with his strong appearance.
After listening to the soldier's words, he frowned slightly and looked a lot more fierce. He knelt down and observed the body again, and said doubtfully: "It's strange. Our Yangcheng is like spring all year round, and the temperature has never dropped. This is the beginning of the year."
Why did he freeze to death in the summer?"
"General, it is indeed much colder today than before. Everyone on the street has put on their cotton-padded jackets. This man suddenly fell to the ground while walking. He was dead when we arrived. There was no sign of any external force." The soldier explained.
road.
Wu Zhong grabbed the corpse's hand and looked at it. It was covered with white frost. The fingernails had begun to freeze, but the red bloodshot threads were still there. Suddenly, he had many doubts in his heart. Since he was frozen to death, what about his bloodline?
Why is he still alive? As the saying goes, blood stops when a person dies, but his outside is covered with a layer of white frost, but his blood is still flowing. What is the reason?
"Isn't he dead yet?" Wu Zhong muttered to himself.
brush!
Wu Zhong pulled open the cotton-padded jacket again, and everyone was shocked. His body was covered with white frost, but his heart was beating like a transparent mirror. The red blood could be seen very clearly, and it was beating faster and faster.
urgent.
"General, be careful of fraud!"
Seeing the horror of the corpse, everyone turned from surprise to caution. When two soldiers saw that Wu Zhong wanted to touch the corpse, they immediately reminded him worriedly, wanting him to stay away from the corpse.
Wu Zhong frowned. The soldier's worry was not unreasonable, but there was a lot of confusion in his heart. He thought that he had been on the battlefield for many years and had seen many dead people. This was the first time such a dead person was paralyzed, but his heart was still active.
, can be called the first incident in the Southland.
"Besides him, is there anyone else?" Wu Zhong asked.
The four soldiers looked at each other and only discovered him during the patrol. There had been no similar incidents, but it was indeed strange today. The weather turned cold and people were panicked. This was something that had never happened before in Yangcheng.
"General, except for him, is there anyone else, is it related to the natural disaster?" the soldier wondered.
Wu Zhong stood up, looking at the gloomy weather a little puzzled. Yangcheng has never been so gloomy, but today it has changed. The people in the city are panicking, the flowers in the mountains are withering, the birds are no longer singing, and the beasts are nowhere to be seen. What is the reason?
As the guard of Yangcheng, Wu Zhong should have figured out the matter. The breeze blew on his cheeks, and he suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at the corpse and said to the soldiers: "Turn him over and let me take a look."
The four people obeyed the order and turned the body over to its back. Wu Zhong asked them to tear off the cotton-padded jackets they were wearing. Now they were surprised again. They saw a white flower growing on the back, blooming slowly, and the blood of the body was flowing in it.
Moisten it, it will be white and rosy, both bright and hidden with murderous intent.
brush!
Just when several people were sighing, the white flower suddenly moved, and countless spikes appeared on the petals. As the blood melted, it instantly left the body and flew into the air, spinning at a very fast speed. Many spikes fell towards the sky and attacked one after another.
How many people were there.
"General, be careful!"
Wu Zhong was still surprised when several spikes came towards him. Four soldiers immediately protected him among them. The spikes penetrated the soldiers' bodies and blood flowed out. Wu Zhong escaped.
"Who dares to kill people here? Get out of here."
Wu Zhong pushed the four people away, drew out his knife and knocked down countless spikes, then raised his knife and pointed it at the white flower, roaring angrily, which instantly alerted many guards who came out and stood in front of him in full formation, staring at the surroundings.
brush!
Perhaps due to stimulation, the white flowers slowly fell to the ground. When everyone was surprised, a black mist appeared, circled around the white flowers and laughed mockingly. When they looked at it, the white flowers disappeared, and in front of them was a man wearing white clothes.
But I saw that he had white hair and eyebrows, shining eyes, a high nose, a scholar's mouth, a face full of white powder, a slim figure, wearing white clothes, holding a feather fan in his hand, and a sharp sword hanging on his waist, and he was elegant and graceful.
"General Wu, do you recognize me?" the man said with a smile.
Wu Zhong had a serious face and looked at this person carefully. He always felt that he had seen him there before, but he couldn't name him, so he said: "You came out as soon as you came out. Why did you kill four of my men?"
"General Wu, it's not my fault. Who told them to be so rude to me?" the man said contemptuously.
"What is your purpose?" Wu Zhong asked.
"Leave this Yangcheng to us." The man said calmly.
"You?" Wu Zhong frowned.
"Can't you see the current situation clearly?"
"who are you?"
"Of course, it's a demon." The man said sinisterly.
