Yuan Ziyi's warning was inevitably half a step behind. Jiang Wen didn't know whether there really was such a headless corpse. He was standing behind him and staring coldly at him. Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wen suddenly felt a bad wind.
Attack from behind from within a short distance!
The fishy smell spread very quickly, and seemed to be emanating from a rotting corpse that had been dead for a long time. But at this critical moment, Yan Yongchun had already passed Yuan Ziyi like lightning, quickly stretched out his hand to push Jiang Wen aside, and the edge of his fist turned into a
Shadows rushed out in an instant.
Yan Wing Chun's stance at this time was slightly sideways, leaving her with a rather narrow space to perform. If it were some martial arts of Changqiao Da Ma, she might not even have a chance to start. However, Yan Wing Chun's boxing skills are quite unique, regardless of distance or distance.
All can be used.
Her fists are subtle and powerful, and she adheres to the principle of "keep the center and use the center". The shadows of the fists are faintly concentrated on a central line, hitting the opponent's eyes, nose, throat, abdomen, and lower yin without exception.
The ground was shrouded in it. Before Jiang Wen could turn his head, he heard a sound of continuous blows, resounding on the old and rotten skin. However, the sounds that came were continuous but dejected. In the end, even a very strong force could not be used for three points.
.
Fortunately, a moment of respite was a moment of change, which was enough for Jiang Wen.
Jiang sensed that there was room for change, so he naturally stopped being polite. He just rolled up his sleeves and raised his hands, stretched out his arms to grab Yan Yongchun's shoulders. As his luck increased, half of his face was red, and the other half suddenly turned red.
Turning blue, she fiercely used a "Great Shift of the Universe" to stick to her palm with her inner strength.
Suddenly, Yan Yongchun's force of pushing Jiang Wen came back, and the force of his punch that hurt the enemy also reversed. Everything suddenly came to an end with Jiang Wen as the center, and turned into a wave of rivers returning to the sea for a moment, and then there was a new wave.
A strong torrent erupted from the abyss, so that Jiang Wen's whole body was filled with an inexplicable strength, and began to twist and control the energy.
It was too late, then it was too late. Not only was Yan Yongchun unable to shake Jiang Wen, but he was pushed out by Jiang Wen. Finally, she relied on Jiang Wen's pressure on her shoulders to stabilize her body, while the evil force of unknown origin behind Jiang Wen was
Feng, who originally retreated under the force of Yan Wing Chun's surprise attack, fell uncontrollably and staggered towards Jiang Wen.
And the next second, the energy in Jiang Wen's body suddenly exploded, and a cold light flew up from his right hand, like an immortal's flying sword that can take a person's head from a thousand miles away, and in an instant it turned into three cold fronts and struck in reverse!
I saw that one sword was stronger than the other, and one sword overwhelmed the other. It was not fast at first sight, but it suddenly made people feel that each mountain was higher than the other. The airbending skill "Taiyue Three Green Peaks" took advantage of the situation to overwhelm people.
It came over the formation with its majestic internal energy, and even the broken branches and leaves around it started to make noises as the sword edge danced!
After turning around for a moment, Jiang Wen finally saw clearly the headless corpse behind him that was so mutilated that it looked like no one. The exposed wounds on its side seemed to be caused by various sword wounds. The dead flesh was close to the bones.
It cannot be eaten by insects, and it also shows a heavy iron black color.
The headless corpse raised its arms in an attempt to block, blocking the path of Jiang Wen's sword. As soon as the internal force attached to the sword came into contact, the ice immediately disintegrated and there was no more waves. In the blink of an eye, only a few subtle sword moves remained.
Being able to perform meritorious deeds is indeed cut into the tattered leather bag.
The headless corpse was covered with dirt and blood, and Jiang Wen's face was as cold as frost. He seemed unafraid of the abnormality of internal power failure. The three-focus internal power was still pouring into the sword vigorously, and he was still slashing on the corpse with one sword after another, as if
The dismemberment of the body was done calmly and accurately, making Yuan Ziyi's scalp numb.
But the next second, the magical inner realm of the "Great Shift of the Universe" was unleashed again, just like the inner energy of the Yangtze River rolling back. The sword blade that penetrated the headless corpse suddenly produced a magnet-like attraction, pulling it against the common sense.
direction, hindering the movement of the headless corpse.
The strange phenomenon of sucking in internal energy did not last long, because the headless corpse was originally a tree without roots and water without a source. As the internal energy dried up very quickly and bottomed out, the headless corpse was about to break free from the sword.
The suction was going on again, but Jiang Wen turned "Taiyue Sanqingfeng" in an overwhelming manner, and swung out the long sword in his palm with no internal strength again. The fierce and ferocious force was even more fierce than before!
I saw Jiang Wen start with a straight strike to the head, then circle the long sword to slash across the waist, and finally jump up and use the long sword to counterattack, stabbing the opponent's back quickly. These three swords were completed in one go in the blink of an eye, each sword was faster than the other.
One sword was more severe than the other, and he reversed the internal energy consumption. He used the sword sect's unique skill "Three Immortal Swords of Death" with pure moves. While chopping, he also had the power of breaking gold and jade, and immediately forced him back.
In a desperate situation, he is swaying and about to fall, as if he has been severely damaged!
"It's true that it's the Three Green Peaks of Taiyue, but it's the Three Immortal Swords that kill people. How should you deal with Jiang's three sword attacks?"
Jiang Wen, who was out of danger, was as light and graceful as he landed on the ground like a pair of swallows dancing on a willow tree. The ancient sword in his palm was sheathed and he spoke slowly to the headless corpse.
However, as Yuan Ziyi said before, the headless corpse that was severely injured by Jiang Wen's sword staggered back behind a strong pine tree. In just a blink of an eye, it was in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.
It just disappeared without warning, as if it had never appeared.
The smell of corpses still lingered in the air. Jiang Wen was shocked when he saw this supernatural scene. He thought that headless corpses could not only hurt people during the day, but also hide themselves. If ordinary people set foot here,
There is no guarantee that he will not die unexpectedly. There is indeed something strange on this Zhanlu Mountain!
"Let's go! Things are not right here, let's go out and talk about it for now!"
Jiang Wen seemed to be worried that the headless corpse would appear in the faint forest again, so he made a decisive decision. Naturally, he did not forget to take the gilded monster Buddha with him before leaving. When they escaped, there were still people in the dense forest.
The strange footsteps followed him until he was completely far away from the rock forest, and the unsettling smell and smell completely disappeared.
"Finally, he stopped following us. Could the headless corpse he just laid down be a vicious criminal? I heard that people who have been beheaded are very violent and are most likely to turn into zombies and ghosts."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuan Ziyi was breathing heavily, and at the same time looking around with great vigilance, never stopping to ask for news.
"By the way, Master Jiang, what did you encounter in the cave just now?"
Jiang Wen whispered: "It's almost the same as what you saw, but I only noticed the breath in the cave and didn't see the corpse. I exited first to prevent accidents."
Yuan Ziyi took a breath of cold air. When she thought about these things appearing in the invisible cave and coming and going close behind her, her scalp immediately went numb. She said hesitantly: "Why don't we go back and get some candles and yellow paper?"
Sliced chicken, pig head, I'm sure you can get something..."
Yan Yongchun was also worried and said: "It's so dangerous, could it be caused by the dead bodies in the cave?"
Jiang Wen shook his head and said: "Dead people naturally won't cause trouble. What I'm more afraid of is the living people causing trouble behind their backs."
The Red Lotus Virgin seemed to understand something and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect someone is doing it on purpose?"
"This time I fell into a misunderstanding. Previously, I only considered the external conditions and thought this place was not suitable for sword making, but I still got carried away and forgot the difference between sword making in ancient times and today."
Jiang Wen nodded and continued.
"Like the headless corpse just now, nowadays only people who have made serious mistakes will be shown their heads in public, with their heads missing. But in the pre-Qin period, beheading was a very grand ceremony.
Sacrificial form…”
Jiang Wen had already thought of sacrificing a man with a sword, a method derived from the harsh smelting conditions in ancient times. Among such documents found by later generations, most of them were from before the Han Dynasty, especially the Spring and Autumn Period——
Because at that time, "human sacrifice" was a matter of Zhou etiquette.
The "Book of Han" once recorded that "Chu people believed in witches and ghosts and attached great importance to obscene worship", and this situation was also prevalent in the land of Wu and Yue. For example, "Yue Jueshu" and "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" both recorded that King Helu of Wu once
The common people were tricked into burying themselves in their daughter's tomb. "He danced the white crane in the city of Wu, causing all the people to watch it. He also made men and women enter the Xian Gate with the crane to hide it."
Jiang Wen's previous idea was not wrong, because directly throwing living people into the furnace to forge swords would only increase the impurities in the steel and would do nothing to improve the purity.
However, sacrificing human beings before making swords is a mysterious religious ritual that cannot be explained. In the same "Wuyue Spring and Autumn Period", there was a swordsman who killed the second son of Wu Hong and Hu Ji, and then forged two swords and dedicated them to him.
Helu, as long as he called their names, they would fly into his hands. Helu was ecstatic about this.
Thinking about it this way, Zhanlu Mountain may not be the place where Ou Yezi forged swords, but this high mountain is very likely to be the place where they killed white horses and white oxen, or even sacrificed human beings. Later, in the eyes of some people, this is undoubtedly
It has become a mysterious way to success, and even "sacrifice" in various ways...
Just like Jiang Wen's previous analysis, sword-making is a big project that cannot be completed by just a few people behind closed doors in the mountains. There must be a considerable scale of industrial support behind it.
Jiang Wen changed his thinking and analyzed it. If the people who died suddenly in Shishi Cave were not a group of desperate thieves, but a group of sword-making madmen in Zhanlu Mountain, then all this would make sense.
In addition to the few people who died suddenly, there are probably others who are still hiding in unknown places in Zhanlu Mountain. Their purpose of coming here is to imitate Ou Yezi's sword-making, but due to repeated attempts,
After getting no results, he turned to find out how Ou Yezi died forging swords, so he started with the monks in the Zen temple.
Jiang Wen felt that the mountain was probably also a group of martial arts people, because they obviously had no scientific research spirit and did not pay attention to the influence factor. Just like Jiang Wen could not understand why people in the martial arts community never questioned those who only had one person practice for decades or hundreds of years.
Is the successful martial arts a scientific research scam to get funding?
When they returned to the ruins of Zhanlu Temple again, Luo Shuang'er and Goddess Liuding had been waiting for a long time. Everyone could see their vigilance and signs of fighting at a glance. After a conversation, they were all surprised by what they saw and heard.
"I suspect that the man who killed people and made swords has accomplices in the mountains."
Jiang Wen leaned against the carriage and directly speculated.
"My arrangement is this. You guys will go to Songxi County first and help me find out if there are any strange things happening here in the county."
Luo Shuang'er poked her head out of the carriage and said proactively: "I'll stay with you."
Jiang Wen said quickly: "No, even if your skills are enough to resolve the crisis, your experience in the arena is still lacking. If one person is short-term and three is strong, you still have to stay together to be safe."
Seeing that Luo Shuang'er was still unwilling to give up, Jiang Wen persuaded everyone with gentle words: "Don't worry, there is only so much space on this mountain. I can finish it in a day and night at most. Then I will go down the mountain to meet you, and we will go back to Dawang Peak together."
Luo Shuang'er was about to object, but was pulled back by Yuan Ziyi, and had to ask in a low voice: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Of course I will stay on Zhanlu Mountain to investigate again - if there is another accident at night, I can give it a try."
Although Yuan Ziyi was worried at this time and wanted to drag everyone to the county seat, he still couldn't help but muttered: "Master Jiang, what is the purpose of your trip to cover up? What does this mean?
Are we still bothering you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at him angrily.
Jiang Wen quickly laughed and said: "Girls, please don't misunderstand me. To be honest, Jiang was not even ten years old yet he was working all night for Bahuang, Furious Slash, Open Sky, Dragon Slaying Sword, and Blade of Destiny. Naturally, he will be interested in famous swords."
