Chapter 41 Five days later, a raging sea of ??flames
The night is like a huge curtain, unfolding silently, covering the mountains, rivers and wilderness.
When he came back to his senses, the whole world had fallen into darkness.
For some reason, the night wind felt even colder tonight. Even though Cao Li and the others lit torches, they still could not dispel the biting coldness.
"Da da da."
The team's progress obviously slowed down a lot.
After it got dark, everyone also wore a solemn expression.
Shadows that hide during the day always like to act at night, whether they are humans or beasts.
Perhaps Cao Li and the others were not so afraid of traveling at night, but after experiencing strange things one after another, they still became uncontrollably worried.
"Is it cold?" Jiang Wuji looked at Xiaoyu and asked with concern.
The girl shook her head and said, "It's not cold. Brother, do you feel cold?"
Jiang Wuji suddenly realized.
The little fish vomits during the day, and the Qi current it feels is also warm. In other words, the little fish this time can be regarded as a human-shaped warm baby.
"I'm fine." Jiang Wuji actually felt quite cold now, but it might have something to do with his fever.
The sound of horses' hooves and wheels were intertwined and continued for an hour without stopping.
Just when Jiang Wuji was wondering why he hadn't arrived at the next village yet, Cao Li's voice came from outside.
"Little Dao Master? Little Dao Master?~"
Jiang Wuji lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Cao Li looked a little ugly. He stretched his neck and said, "Little Taoist, something happened again."
"What happened?" Jiang Wuji frowned, and at the same time he grabbed the copper coin sword beside him.
Cao Li: "I feel like we may have encountered a ghost trying to break a wall..."
"A ghost is breaking up the wall?" Jiang Wuji was surprised. Nothing happened. Why is it that a ghost is breaking the wall?
At this time, Cao Li pointed to a crooked-necked tree not far away and said, "Look, little Taoist Master, the knife marks on the tree trunk were made by me a moment ago. We have obviously been moving forward, and now...
…It’s come around again.”
Jiang Wuji's expression changed and he said, "Okay, you go ahead and ask the team to stop."
"Okay." Cao Li clamped his horse's belly and rushed to the front of the team.
After putting down the curtain, Jiang Wuji looked at Xiaoyu and ordered: "There are many things going on along the way, and it won't be peaceful at night. You stay in the car and take the dagger I gave you."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded heavily, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me, I can protect myself."
Jiang Wuji: "Okay, I'll go out and see first..."
"Tuk tuk tuk!" Before Jiang Wuji could finish speaking, someone knocked on the carriage again.
"what happened again?"
Jiang Wuji subconsciously opened the curtain, only to see a hideous and rotten face!
Dog baby!!!
At this moment, Gou Wa was lying on the window of the carriage, and the remaining half of his face was almost peeling off! The corners of his rotten mouth were slightly raised, and his protruding single eye was staring directly at Jiang Wuji.
The sudden scene was suffocating. When Jiang Wuji regained his composure and stabbed out with his sword, Gouwa had already stepped back and quickly disappeared into the woods on the roadside.
"That, that...Brother, look at this!" Xiaoyu picked up a crumpled piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Wuji.
"It seems...it seems like it was left by Gouwa."
Taking the note, Jiang Wuji frowned and unfolded it. There was a line of crooked blood-colored letters written on the note.
"In five days, come and get the elixir."
"Pan? What pill? Pills? Come to me to get the pills in five days?" Jiang Wuji frowned.
I only have two kinds of pills with me now.
One is the red pill in the village chief's gourd, and the other is the black pill in the village chief's body.
Which elixir does this refer to?
But why did Gouwa ask me for pill pills? Instead of killing me, he asked me for pill pills?
"Fuck..." Jiang Wuji couldn't help but spit out the fragrance.
According to previous inferences, Gouwa either became a zombie and came to seek his life, or he was controlled by the "God of Plague" and sought to settle accounts with him.
In the end, he actually came to ask for pills!
As a result, the original two inferences cannot be established. On the contrary, the inference that was excluded at that time is more consistent with the current situation.
——The demon exorcises corpses!
Gouwa died in Qingyu Town. He had already met him on the first night of departure, and now he appears again!
I'm afraid everyone will follow me along the way...
Maybe a corpse exorcist really intervened, and he knew the identity of the village chief, knew that the village chief had pills on his body, and also knew that the village chief's pills had been taken away by him, Jiang Wuji!
"Xu~"
The shouts planned Jiang Wuji's thoughts. After the team stopped, Cao Li rode his horse to the outside of the carriage.
"Little Taoist Master." Cao Li dismounted and bowed, and at the same time he was alert to the disturbance around him.
Jiang Wuji stepped out of the carriage and looked around, but found nothing unusual. Then he looked at the officer driving the carriage and asked, "Besides Cao Li, who else has been close to this carriage just now?"
The somewhat pale-faced officer shook his head and said, "Go back to the Taoist Master, no."
No one is approaching, so Gouwa hides from everyone's sight? What kind of method is this?
Jiang Wuji frowned: "Did any dead bodies pass by?"
The guard swallowed his saliva and said with a horrified expression: "There is a corpse lying on the roadside, and... and the corpse has appeared three times, exactly the same!"
After hearing this, Jiang Wuji already knew clearly in his mind that the corpse that appeared repeatedly was probably Gouwa.
It's just that the lying dog boy was face down, and Cao Li and the others didn't want to come into contact with these corpses because they were traveling at night, so naturally they wouldn't examine a dead body carefully.
So this ghost is actually trying to intimidate me by hitting the wall?
Now that Gou Wa's letter has been delivered, it's probably over.
So Jiang Wuji looked at Cao Li and said, "Keep going."
Cao Li took a breath and whispered, "This... little Taoist master, this ghost has not been solved yet..."
"Don't worry, I'm here to watch." Jiang Wuji did not return to the carriage, but sat on the right side of the driver.
Seeing this, Cao Li could only grit his molars and respond, "Then I'll trouble the little Taoist."
With the chaotic sound of horse hooves, the team moved forward again.
A quarter of an hour later, the tree that Cao immediately marked did not appear. Not long after, a fire appeared in his field of vision.
"Fire? On fire?"
At this time, the guard on the side said with a dark face: "Little Taoist Master, judging from the direction of the fire, it seems that it is the village we are going to."
"Cao Li! Hurry up!" Jiang Wuji shouted.
"Master Qiu, little Daoist, sit tight!"
Cao Li raised his whip.
"Drive! Drive!"
When they arrived, the flames turned everyone's face red, and the scorching waves rolled in one after another, making it suffocating.
The vast sea of fire was particularly dazzling in the dark night. At the same time, the sea of fire also announced that this village would disappear forever in Leping County.
"How could there be a fire?" Chief Qiu looked at the sea of fire in front of him, and he no longer knew what mood to face it.
The house leaked, but it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind.
I braved the night journey and finally arrived, but the result was like this.
"Let's rest on the spot. Generally, evil spirits are afraid of fire. This fire will probably burn until dawn." Jiang Wuji's words were like a reassurance, allowing everyone to recover from the fear and shock.
What Xiao Daoye said is right. Rest in this sea of fire, and as long as you pay attention to the fire and don't get burned, the night will be safer...
The officers began to be busy. Jiang Wuji found Cao Li and asked him to take a good look at the man, while he went over to take a look.
Anyway, it's not far away. If something happens, I can rush back as soon as possible. If I can find the person who ran away from the village, I can also ask what happened, so I can be prepared.
However, it was impossible to get in due to the raging fire, and no corpses were found outside the village.
It's just...the more he couldn't find a body, the weirder Jiang Wuji felt.
It's like this village is a dead village without people...
After Jiang Wuji glanced at it for a few times, he was ready to go back and ask Chief Qiu or Cao Li to see if they knew about the village.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from one side.
