"What do you mean?" Cheng Sanwu didn't understand, so he stepped forward and kicked the banshee's body to make sure she was dead.
Mr. Changqing explained: "A monster may be able to change into a human form if it is successful in cultivation. But once it dies, it will appear like its original form. This monster is dead, but its body has not changed at all."
"I don't care if she changes." Cheng Sanwu didn't care at all and said bluntly: "Only the demons who are hacked to death are good demons."
When he said this, Cheng Sanwu happened to see Afu staring at him with a subtle expression. He quickly said: "I didn't tell you."
Afu just smiled faintly, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking. Mr. Changqing stretched out his hand towards Cheng Sanwu and said, "Lend me your knife."
Cheng Sanwu heard the words and did as he was told. He saw Mr. Changqing holding the horizontal knife that had not yet dissipated the magic power of killing demons, carefully cutting open the chest and abdomen of the banshee, exposing the internal organs, and then leaned down to fiddle with it for a while, his face gradually became ugly.
.
"She's not an ordinary monster, right?" Afu seemed to already know.
"It is said that a long time ago, there was a god with feathers on his body and square blue eyes in the Western Region. People in the Central Plains occasionally heard about it, but rarely saw it with their own eyes. The Taoist sect once regarded him as an immortal who was successful in cultivation and had strange phenomena."
Mr. Qing looked at the body of the banshee whose body and head were separated: "If I guessed correctly, she should be of this type."
"Birds are just birds, what kind of gods are they?" Cheng Sanwu pointed to the pile of skulls on the altar: "Can a guy who created such a thing still be worshiped as a god?"
Mr. Changqing stood up and asked: "Is the 'husband' she mentioned just now the corpse vulture that you killed?"
"To be precise, it was Peng Ning who killed him." Cheng Sanwu added: "It was the manpower deployed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at Baima Society."
Afu didn't care either. Mr. Changqing handed back the Hengdao and said: "I have heard about monsters getting married in the past, but generally speaking, only the same species will do this. This feathered man can marry
The corpse vultures live together, and they have the status of mistress in the group. I think it was manipulated by the false leader."
"Have you seen this kind of birdman before?" Cheng Sanwu asked Afu.
"I have seen something similar." Afu's words attracted the attention of the other two people: "But unlike the Central Plains Taoism, my hometown has always regarded such people with hair and horns as evil spirits, and we must get rid of them quickly."
Cheng Sanwu was quite curious: "What? Are there other ones?"
"There are centaurs and half-horses, and there are also ones with horns and hooves." Afu seemed unwilling to mention the past.
"These things seem to be rare in the Central Plains?" Cheng Sanwu asked.
Mr. Changqing was slightly disdainful: "That's because you haven't read enough books. There are many strange alienated peoples in the ancient books. It's just that humanity in the Central Plains is prosperous, so these alienated peoples naturally retreat."
"I think they were all killed by the ancestors, right?" Cheng Sanwu said with a smile.
Mr. Changqing ignored this and looked at the altar carefully: "Is this refining the souls of the dead? I heard that when you faced the demon that night, Mu Xied was already dead?"
"It should be so. The wound on the body seems to have been dead for several days." Cheng Sanwu thought of his experience that night. He accidentally chopped off Mu Xidd's head, but no blood flowed out. The situation was extremely strange: "But I don't understand.
, Lao Su personally saw Mushid during the day, so if it was a dead person, there is no reason why he wouldn't notice it."
"Perhaps it is an evil method of exorcising corpses." Mr. Changqing was also confused: "But it is the first time I have seen this kind of magic to keep the dead alive and talk to each other as normal. Maybe it has something to do with this altar.
"
Cheng Sanwu looked at the pile of skulls. At this time, there were still a few will-o'-the-wisps emitting a faint blue light. He said harshly: "Then just smash it to prevent that guy from continuing to manipulate the corpse."
Mr. Changqing said cautiously: "You don't understand the mystery. This kind of altar often has a subtle connection with the person who built it. Once it is destroyed, the owner will immediately react."
"Is it possible to just leave it alone like this?" Cheng Sanwu asked back: "If when we reach Tianchi, the demon waved his hand and summoned a lot of zombies, don't regret it then!"
Mr. Changqing was in a dilemma. At this time, Afu reminded: "Don't forget, this banshee called her master. Her death may have aroused the vigilance of the mastermind behind the scenes. In any case, we have no way out."
Mr. Changqing, who had no choice but to accept this result, could only nod in agreement. Cheng Sanwu immediately drew his sword and stepped onto the altar. He went up and kicked the pile of human skulls into pieces.
…
"Um?"
Anquti stopped his movements. In front of him was a delicately constructed star orbiter. He was about to place various gemstones on different orbits, and the golden star essence was in the center, surrounded by stars.
He waved his hand to summon a mirror, and the light and shadow in it were chaotic for a while. Anquti cast spells several times in succession. After a while, he could see the already dilapidated altar cave. The headless body of the Feathered Banshee fell to the ground, and the rest of the corpse vultures were just
The burnt black meat remains.
"It actually came around from this direction."
An Quti was silent for a while. There was no trace of anyone else in the mirror. It seemed that the corpse vulture was defeated so quickly that there was no time to send out the news.
"You are not an idle person." An Quti waved his hand to disperse the scene in the mirror, and then concentrated on casting the spell again. The light and shadow on the mirror kept twisting, as if there was a layer of window paper, but it just couldn't be pierced to see clearly what was inside.
thing.
"Sure enough." An Quti withdrew the spell and said with a calm smile: "Miaoming Divine Eye couldn't find Cheng Sanwu. It seems that he used magic to cover his whereabouts and direction. At this time, hiding his head and tail, his intention couldn't be more obvious.
"
For Anquiti, he knew very well that what he did was not tolerated by the governors of the four towns, and many people wanted to take revenge on him. The key was to know the general movements of these people, and Anquiti himself could handle the rest.
I can figure it out.
"Qi Jingyang is also a suspect." An Quti immediately made a judgment: "Their real purpose is to send a small group of elites to take a small road to Tianchi... Does this mean that I am short of manpower and have no defense?"
An Quti has experienced the world for a long time and has profound knowledge, and he has to admire him at this moment. In order to complete the transformation ceremony without interference, he even asked all his subordinates to leave Tianchi. After all, An Quti did not trust those subordinates who were recruited here.
.
"But you only sent a small group of elites to raid. Do you think you take me too lightly?" An Quti smiled faintly and did not bother to think about it anymore. He focused on the star tracker in front of him again and set the last gem in it.
superior.
When the star track was completed, Anquti couldn't wait to cast a spell to activate it. The outer gems were constantly swirling under the star track ring. The mysterious and complex forces gathered and intertwined, gradually resonating with the central star marrow, and colorful colors rose up.
of flames.
Ancuti's face was colorfully reflected by the blazing flames. He looked ecstatic, opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Come if you want, let me see you struggling to death!"
…
Looking at Guo Lizhen standing on a high place, holding an eagle-winged copper staff, pointing fingers at more than a dozen small tribal leaders, Shi Tuojie, who was alone, was so angry that he cut off a piece of stuffing without caring that the lamb was not yet cooked.
Put it in your mouth.
"Tsk, tsk, you still haven't changed your stinky habit of consuming hair and drinking blood."
Kang Fudi, who was wearing an exquisite brocade robe, was twirling his beard at the moment, walking over with a sneer on his face.
"My ancestors were orphans who were abandoned on the grassland. They survived by being fed by female wolves. When they grew up, they ate raw meat and wore animal skins, so that they could give birth to strong offspring." Shi Tuojie tore off a piece of half-cooked mutton, and his eyes were filled with laughter.
Zi is like a wild wolf on the grassland, ruthless and cruel: "I am not like you weak people who covet ease and comfort, just like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered... No, before the throats of cattle and sheep are slit, they will somehow
Struggle, but you choose to sit back and wait for death."
Kang Futi sat across from the bonfire and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so eloquent, but what you said was all nonsense."
"Wrong reason? No, you don't understand." Shi Tuo chewed until his mouth was full of blood. His voice was like the growl of a beast ready to attack: "A frost disaster on the grassland can make you understand that those things in you are
Gorgeous clothes and exquisite gadgets are all useless encumbrances.
"Frozen horses and livestock, even the elderly and children, are destined to become food for the living. The reason why we can form a covenant with wolves has never been through the singing and dancing of those great witches, but because we compete with the wolves for food and fight to the death.
Finally conquer them."
Kang Fudi is a businessman who travels to the Western Regions and grasslands. He has experienced various folk customs and can negotiate business and establish friendship with different people.
But Kang Fudi really found it difficult to get along with people like the Black Wolf Tribe. Compared to the tribal leader, Shi Tajie was more like a prairie wolf, unruly and untamed.
When faced with the surrender of the Great Xia court, the Black Wolf tribe accepted a generous reward, but in the blink of an eye they attacked and killed the canonization envoy. This move shocked the grassland and triggered the Great Xia court to brutally suppress the remaining Tule tribes.
This move not only made the Black Wolf Tribe a thorn in the side of the Great Xia court, but also made other Tule tribes resentful of the Black Wolf Tribe and vowed not to interact with them.
From then on, the Black Wolf Tribe fled westward and became one of the most notorious bandits in the Western Regions.
They are not the largest in number, but their methods of treating the plundered are the most cruel, including dismemberment, gouging out eyes, dissection of the chest, and sharing food among wolves. If there are women among them, they will be tortured after being kidnapped.
Crazy ravage, life is worse than death.
In addition, the Black Wolf Tribe, a group of beast-like guys, are the most able to endure harsh environments. They were able to evade the pursuit of the imperial soldiers many times in the past because they often escaped from dangerous areas that ordinary people could not penetrate, and forcibly defeated the pursuers.
Horse. Then wait for the enemy to show fatigue, then turn around to attack. This trick has been tried and true.
However, the leader An Quti appeared ten years ago and subdued these ferocious wolves after several battles. In a sense, this group of smelly beasts was restrained.
"You are now a fierce general under the leader, but you can't do this anymore." Kang Fu said seriously: "And over the years, the number of people in the Black Wolf Division has been getting smaller and smaller. You must have seen it yourself. Is it possible that this is true?
Do you want future generations to be like you, eating hair and drinking blood?"
"If you have something to say, just say it!" Shi Tuojie threw the bone away, and a wild wolf behind him immediately opened his mouth to stop him.
"The leader sent Elder Guo to command everyone, what do you think?" Kang Fudi asked.
"These Han people are the most cunning and cunning, and they cannot be trusted!" Shi Tuojie stared at Guo Lizhen in the distance: "He relied on the protection of the leader to control us at will. If the wolf cubs hadn't only listened to me, they would have been manipulated by him.
Walk."
Kang Fudi first nodded repeatedly, and then showed a distressed expression: "Oh, I'm worried that the leader has been deceived by Elder Guo."
"Deceived? What do you mean?" Shi Tuo was puzzled.
Kang Fudi laughed secretly in his heart, and finally caught the beast. He pretended to be on guard, looked around, and then whispered: "The leader is about to hold a holy sacrifice. What is it for?"
"In order to ask the Great Light Lord to send blessings and completely defeat the enemies entrenched in the Western Region." Shi Tuojie himself was dubious about this. His attitude towards An Quti was nothing more than a defeated wolf's loyalty to the new king.
"Then what?" Kang Fu saw Shi Tuojie frowning and said simply: "Everyone in the sect understands that after taking the Western Region, they will conquer the Central Plains and Han Dynasty, which is the real promised paradise.
"But if you think about it again, just for us, even if we can conquer the Central Plains, most of the church members will be Han Chinese. Guo Lizhen can make the leader trust him so much, but what about the future? We still have a foothold.
What?"
After hearing these words, Shi Tuojie's expression gradually changed: "I knew that this Guo Lizhen had bad intentions!"
"Shh! Don't make any noise!" Kang Futi quickly persuaded the other party: "These are all my wild guesses. Don't take it too seriously."
The more Kang Fudi said this, the more Shi Tuojie became suspicious: "No, you are right. No wonder Guo Lizhen arranged it like that before. It turned out to be to prepare for the Han people to occupy high positions in the church!"
Kang Fudi nodded slightly with a frown on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart: "This Shi Tuojie is a little clever, but it's just a little clever. He just said a few words of temptation and then thought wrongly."
"You're telling me this not just to chat, right?" Shi Tajie stood up slowly. The wild wolf beside him sensed this and grinned at Kang Fudi.
"I don't want the great future of Zoroastrianism to be ruined in the hands of cunning people." Kang Fudi looked serious.
Shi Tuo twitched his lips: "You wanted to kill Guo Lizhen, but you didn't dare to do it yourself, so you came to find me."
"That's right." Kang Fu said calmly: "I heard that the soldiers and horses of the Protectorate are only two or three days away from here. If this continues, all of us will risk our lives here. Isn't it just what Guo Lizhen wants?
?”
"Guo Lizhen is alone and has no confidants. If he really has to fight for his life, no one will help him!" Shi Tuojie immediately made up his mind.
"Can you beat him?" Kang Futi asked in a low voice.
"Since you came to me, you shouldn't question my ability." Shi Tuo revealed: "I led the wolf cubs to swarm him, one by one, and I can still tear him into pieces!"
"Okay, once the matter is settled, I will persuade everyone and let you take charge of the overall situation!" Kang Futi promised: "If the leader is held accountable afterwards, I will intercede on your behalf."
Shi Tuojie immediately turned around and left: "I'm going to make preparations right now, and I'll do it when it gets dark!"
After Shi Tuojie had gone far away, Kang Fudi called his cronies and ordered: "Immediately ride south and inform the Qi General Protector that there is going to be chaos in the bandit camp, and we must come and clear it out."
When his men left, Kang Fudi folded his sleeves, looked at Guo Lizhen and sneered secretly: "Brother Guo, I don't want to be buried with a bunch of mad dogs. A great future is still waiting for me!"
