Su Wu led the horse and mule and walked shoulder to shoulder with the master along the road.
Both of them held lanterns, slightly illuminating the road ahead.
In the platoon behind Qinglu, several junior brothers and sisters had already climbed up.
Qingmiao held up a lantern and saw the two figures in front of them. Even though their clothes were scattered by the strong wind, there was no sign of collapse. She couldn't help but feel a sense of security in her heart.
call--
At this moment,
The bamboo shed on the roof of the donkey cart finally couldn't resist,
It was pulled up by the strong wind and drifted away with the wind!
The Zao Class disciples were so frightened that they panicked.
The master didn't have time to answer Su Wu's question, so he turned to look at the disciples and shouted: "The canopy was blown away, and it's the one who flew it!"
Leave it alone!
It’s all done in the car!”
His words did have some effect,
After saying a few words, the disciples were calmed down.
Then he turned back, looked at Su Wu, and said with a solemn expression: "I will tell you after we have passed this journey!
Keep walking forward,
Look what’s ahead!”
Su Wu nodded and said no more.
A pair of masters and apprentices pulled the animals side by side and struggled forward in the strong wind.
The lantern can only illuminate three feet in front of you.
No matter how far you go, you can only see a dark patch of darkness.
I did this for about an hour,
The strong wind gradually subsided,
The darkness that covered the world also became much lighter.
The road that the Zao team was taking now led to a "small village" with more than a dozen houses and courtyards scattered around and waist-deep weeds on the roads.
Looking at the outlines of the houses in front of him, Li Yueshan's expression was uncertain.
He turned his head and looked back, still only seeing a dark mass.
The way back seems to be blocked by darkness,
Reflexively retreat into the darkness, not knowing what will happen!
"Everyone get out of the car,
Hold hands and walk side by side!"
Li Yueshan gave instructions to his disciples.
Qingmiao took Xiuxiu and Zhuer's hands,
Xiuxiu pulled the dog Sheng,
A group of junior brothers and sisters followed behind Su Wu and Master.
Ta da, da da...
The hooves of two large animals fell on the ground, making a slight sound.
This is the only sound here.
Su Wu held a lantern, reflecting the surrounding scenery.
Not far in front of him was the gatehouse of a house.
But the front of the gatehouse was also covered with waist-deep weeds. The weeds half covered the gatehouse, making it difficult for people to see the real scene there.
"This is a deserted village..."
Su Wu spoke to the master in a low voice.
"Be careful.
Once you enter a treacherous barrier, you can only try to get through.
So, don’t be too afraid if something happens to you." Master warned Su Wu,
He then took out the copper pipe given to him by his eldest apprentice, stuffed it with tobacco leaves, and lit a cigarette. He smoked the cigarette while squinting and looking around.
He handed the reins to Pearl, turned around and took the crescent moon from the cart for shoveling,
Seeing his actions,
The disciples were also nervous for a while, and each of them drew their weapons.
The bright swords were reflected everywhere by the lanterns and torches, making this deserted village with only a dozen houses and courtyards even more indistinct.
"Is there a person standing over there?"
The master holds the crescent moon in one hand for easy shoveling,
Pointing to the gatehouse that Su Wu had just seen, he looked around and found that only this courtyard had a wall built, so he came up with the idea of occupying this courtyard for rest.
I just glanced at the gatehouse,
But I seemed to see a person standing in the darkness of the gate tower!
Su Wu's eyesight is stronger than Master's,
In the darkness here, he felt like a fish in water.
His eyes scanned the gate tower pointed by the master,
Then he saw that there was indeed a 'person' standing in the darkness.
It cannot be said that it is a human being,
That figure's face was green and white, vaguely black,
Open your eyes,
Its dark yellow eyes stared straight at Su Wu, and its eyes would move with everyone's slight movements!
A moving corpse!
Zombies?!
After seeing that figure, Su Wu instantly had a guess in his mind.
He responded to Master's question,
He said in a deep voice: "There is indeed a figure over there.
But I don’t know if it’s a human…”
"nonsense!
When you enter a deserted village at night, you should not treat the people you see as human beings!" Master grinned and scolded Su Wu, turned his face and saw that the eldest disciple had no fear on his face, so he whispered, "Let's go over and take a look."
"Okay." Su Wu nodded.
He glanced around,
I only saw a corpse under the door.
I haven't seen anything unusual elsewhere.
Master turned around and took the lantern from Pearl's hand.
uncover the lampshade,
Holding the burning iron bowl, he placed it on the ground.
He also grabbed some weeds and firewood sticks and piled them around.
The fire in the iron bowl instantly licked the dry wood, and a huge bonfire ignited with a bang!
The fierce fire burned in the dark night, emitting warm light and heat,
The disciples gathered in front of the bonfire suddenly felt a little more secure!
"Keep adding firewood to it,
Don't let the fire go out!" Master instructed the junior brothers and sisters to pick up the iron bowl, put it back into the lampshade, handed it to Pearl, and said, "Pull some rags and soak them in oil to make torches.
One for each person!”
He told his disciples,
Without stopping, he and Su Wu walked towards the gatehouse together.
There is obviously a blazing fire behind me,
But the gatehouse is not illuminated either,
It was still very dark in that corner, and only a vague figure could be seen.
When the two of them got closer,
Su Wu took a lantern to shine——
It showed a person with a pale face and hazy eyes, who did not look like a living person. The person opened his mouth, revealing fangs stained with saliva, howling and rushing towards Master and Disciple Li Yueshan!
"Good zombie!"
Li Yueshan cursed angrily, and the crescent shovel in his hand buzzed.
Put a shovel to the zombie's throat!
This swift and sharp shovel,
To be an ordinary person,
His head had long been shoveled off,
But half of the zombie's neck was cut off, and most of it was still connected to the head. He stretched out his arms hard, and his claws covered with black nails grasped the wooden pole connected to the crescent shovel, and he tried to twist it directly -
"Hey--"
Master is full of energy,
Su Wu next to him was one step faster than him,
A flash of bright sword light flashed by,
The zombie's head was cut in half vertically like a watermelon!
Filthy black blood spilled on their weapons,
On the blade of the weapon that the master couldn't notice, fine silver-colored secret spells lit up one by one, slowly absorbing the dirty blood.
The zombie's head was split in half and he immediately fell on his back.
You will no longer be as ferocious as before!
"Woo——"
A wisp of black air rushed out from the corpse's neck,
Floating straight into the distance,
But at this moment, Li Yueshan picked up the lantern that Su Wu had just placed on the ground, opened the lampshade, held up the iron bowl, and faced the black air that was about to drift away - his fingers touched the flame in the iron bowl slightly. One shot,
A tongue of fire suddenly went straight,
It directly coiled around the black air and burned it into nothingness in mid-air!
After doing this,
The master wiped the sweat from his face, covered the lantern, and handed it to Su Wu.
He patted the eldest disciple on the shoulder and said, "You bastard, you react very quickly and you have great strength!
Fortunately, I killed the zombie with one knife.
Otherwise, wouldn’t Master’s weapons be in trouble?”
"remember,
See this kind of thing again,
Cut off its head directly. If the head falls off, a stream of corpse air will spurt out from its neck. Once it is burned with fire, it will completely belch, and it will be difficult to make trouble again!"
Li Yueshan imparted his experience to his disciples.
Su Wu thought of another question: "Corpse Qi?
Is this a corpse driven away by a corpse collector?
The group of corpse exterminators are going to Huo Xun Pu - to go to Huo Xun Pu, they need to pass through Partridge Ridge?
They also..."
Master knelt down to look at the headless corpse.
I saw that the arms of the corpse were wrapped in a pair of "sleeves" that reached to the shoulders and had fine stitching.
There are some patterns like tomb beasts visible on the sleeves.
There are a few words embroidered in the middle: "Changfu Yizhuang".
"To go to Huoxunpu, you have to pass through Partridge Ridge.
It seems that they also encountered this strange obstacle,
It's not passable - it's passable. At most, a few corpses are thrown away, so as not to leave zombies stained with corpses..." Li Yueshan shook his head, his face became more and more serious, "It seems that this time's strange level is not easy to deal with.
"
"What exactly is Guan Guan?"
"Someone is a bit weird, wandering around.
By chance, I wander into those places where the energy channels intersect, and I am trapped like a fish in a net.
Over the years and months,
They themselves gradually connect with the Qi channels,
It can make the celestial phenomena change.
At this time, someone is walking on the road and may accidentally connect with their energy channels.
Or it’s the place where Qi channels meet.
This is a strange pass.
Overcoming the treacherous barrier can open up the knotted energy channels, which will bring benefits.
But I can’t get through the treacherous barrier,
The only option is to die." Li Yueshan said solemnly.
strange pass,
It seems to be a level jointly set up by Li Jui and Tiandi!
The group of carpenters who were going to the fire patrol shop in Changfu Yizhuang to remove corpses had already got stuck in this treacherous pass.
Notice,
Those corpse exorcists were infected by the evil spirits and were another form of evil masters.
None of them were able to pass,
The majority of the Yinxi Maizao team, who are mostly ordinary people, have thought about this strange obstacle, but they are afraid that it will be even more difficult - now that the corpse exorcist is dead, the strange people they accommodated will inevitably revive, and it is impossible to say that they will still be wandering in this deserted village.
Become part of the mystery!
"Walk,
Open the door first and go in to take a look."
Master seemed to have thought of going to the same place as Su Wu.
He turned to look at the other disciples surrounding the life-protecting fire and making torches, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
My own life-protecting fire has never touched a few big monsters.
But it's not that strong yet.
I wonder how far I can protect my disciples?
Such words cannot be said out loud, lest the disciples become even more frightened.
Li Yueshan stood up, nodded towards Su Wu, and then pushed open the two black lacquered wooden doors with one hand.
Bang!
The wooden door opened in response,
Master must first cross the threshold.
Su Wu followed closely with a lantern to illuminate the surroundings.
It was just an ordinary gatehouse corridor, with some firewood piled in the corridor.
Walk out along the aisle,
A babbling female voice came to the ears of the master and the apprentice: "I was sleeping at one o'clock, and suddenly I heard the barking of a yellow dog.
It makes the slave family feel sad, and it makes the slave family feel lovesick.
The cold night also makes me miss my love...
It's time to go to sleep at two o'clock in the second watch, and the cold insects call in the second watch,
Make the slave family sad, make the slave family sad,
The more I cry out, the sadder and sadder I become..."
As the sound reaches my ears,
The two saw,
In the main room, the window paper reflected the silhouette of a woman.
‘She’ had her back to the second master and apprentice, holding something unknown in her arms, and was sewing carefully with needle and thread.
It seems that I heard the movement in the yard,
The woman's head slowly turned around.
From the front to the back.
The hazy facial features are reflected on the window paper,
It made the master and disciple seem to see a face full of tears.
"It's time to go to sleep at three o'clock in the middle of the night. The lone goose calls in the middle of the night.
Guyan, my brother, you are barking in that wing and I am barking in this wing.
It makes the slave family sad, it makes the slave family feel sad..."
