The moment he landed, he saw a barren mountain with no grass growing on it. It twitched and squirmed before his eyes, and then disappeared.
Is this the Taotie body?
he's gone?
Xu Zhiqiong felt the position of Zhonglang Yin. Taotie's outer body seemed to be still nearby and had not gone far.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up Tao Huayuan and was about to run away, but was stopped by a voice in his ear: "Don't go anywhere, stay where you are."
"Why are you staying where you are, waiting for him to come and eat me again?"
"If he wants to eat you, you can't escape. It's not that he was hurt by your beating, let alone that you scared him away. He doesn't want to eat what he spits out."
It turned out to be the reason.
It makes sense, no one wants to eat their own vomit.
"If you run away now, he will come after you after the smell dissipates.
There is a lot of vomit here and the smell is strong, so he won't come easily. After daybreak, Taotie's body will be a little more restrained, and it won't be too late to escape then."
"Even if the smell doesn't dissipate, I can still run away."
"I know you have the skills of a judge and you can run away. Where will your woman run? Will she follow you back to Zhonglang Courtyard?
Look at the appearance of your woman, a breath of Yin Qi in Zhonglang's Courtyard can kill her! If you don't want her to live, just run away with her. I'm a little tired, so I'll rest for a while."
The sound in his ears disappeared. Xu Zhiqiong looked at Tao Huayuan in his arms, his face turned pale, and he was only breathing weakly.
Xu Zhiqiong still had enough energy left to use Yin and Yang techniques to inject some Yin and Yang Qi into her meridians. Tao Huayuan's face gradually turned red. Stirred by the cold and wet night wind, Tao Huayuan opened her eyes.
"Is this still the earthly world?" Tao Huayuan was really desperate just now.
But it was much better than being trapped in the palace because Xu Zhiqiong was by her side.
She is not as strong as she seems. She is as afraid of death as Xu Zhiqiong. It was precisely because Xu Zhiqiong saved her life when she was trapped in the palace that she truly fell in love with this thief.
"In the world of the sun!" Xu Zhiqiong nodded and smiled, "If you don't believe me, just touch it, the chewy parts are still warm!"
Tao Huayuan said with a smile: "Why are you touching him? You should take a few bites of him! You should take good care of him from now on!"
The two stared at each other for a long time, and Xu Zhiqiong found that not only Tao Huayuan was watching him, but also many people around him were watching him.
Taotie not only vomited out Xu Zhiqiong, but also vomited out many people.
The fleeing couple and their child were vomited out, along with the passers-by who fled with him.
Erqiuzi, who went up to the mountain to work, was spit out, and there were also their fellow villagers around him.
They are very scared.
They knew they were saved, but they were more afraid than before.
They wanted to leave Qianku Mountain immediately, but looking at Xu Zhiqiong, they did not dare to leave.
At first, they felt guilty because they had not thanked Xu Zhiqiong for saving his life.
Secondly, they were full of fear of Xu Zhiqiong and really did not dare to leave easily.
Er Qiuzi took a step forward and said, "This brave man, it was you who saved us, right?"
Xu Zhiqiong did not answer.
It's not that I don't want to answer, it's that I can't answer.
Xu Zhiqiong did not save them.
Er Qiuzi licked his lips and said, "We owe you our lives. Logically speaking, we should repay you well, but we are all paupers. As long as we have some family background, no one is willing to work in the first month.
Do you think this will work? I'll give you whatever money we have, don't think it's too little, we're only worth this little."
After saying that, Er Qiuzi gave Xu Zhiqiong the two strings of copper coins he had on him.
A group of fellow villagers around him did not move. They did not want to give money, which they had paid for with their lives.
Er Qiuzi turned around and yelled: "What do you want to do to Qiu Qiu? What's the point of being ungrateful? No more, no less, please give me some consideration!"
Everyone was still unwilling to give, so Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands and said, "Don't force them, I don't want your money. You sit here for a while. I have something to ask you!"
Er Qiuzi had a look of fear on his face. He was very afraid of Xu Zhiqiong: "Strong man, if you have anything to say, just say it. Just tell us what you want our brothers to do. But you don't want to let us go if you don't accept the payment. This makes
No! We have not offended you."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "You haven't offended me, and I haven't offended you either. I want to help you, but I don't know how."
Erqiuzi said in surprise: "You saved our lives. The grace of saving our lives is greater than the sky. How can we ask you to help us?"
"Life-saving grace...what can I say about this?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled bitterly, picked up a dead branch from the ground, lit it with the man's torch.
To do things, the lantern man must have a lamp. Even if there is only Xu Zhiqiong here, this rule cannot be changed at will.
The firelight shone on Er Qiuzi's face, and Er Qiuzi instinctively squinted his eyes.
"Strong man, please hold it farther away. This light hurts my eyes!"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "The eye has fallen off, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Strong man, what are you talking about? Whose eyes are you talking about... Oh my god!" Er Qiuzi rubbed his eyes and turned to look at the middle-aged man, "Brother Shen, what's wrong with your eyes?"
He saw his neighbor Brother Shen's eyes protruding from their sockets. The eyeballs were covered with sand and were shaking up and down, as if they were about to fall to the ground at any time.
Brother Shen stared at Er Qiuzi's face for a moment, and a mouthful of yellow water slipped from the corner of his mouth.
He was also frightened by Er Qiuzi, but Er Qiuzi's face was covered with sticky butter, making it difficult to see clearly.
It doesn't matter if you can't see clearly, Xu Zhiqiong held the firewood stick between the two of them.
Both of them thought it was dazzling, but it was not dazzling at all.
Although Brother Shen's eyes are still there, they are useless.
Er Qiuzi's eyes are no longer there. There was still one hanging in the eye socket. When it flew out with the sand, it fell to no one knows where.
Not just the eyes.
Their bodies were swollen and oil was oozing out, so wherever they touched, they were sticky.
"Oh my god, my god! Why did it become like this..."
The two looked at each other and shouted!
The fellow villagers around looked at them and yelled.
A group of people yelled for a long time, and then gradually stopped.
They stood there, covering their faces with their sleeves.
They trembled for a moment, as if crying.
After crying for a long time, they lost their voice and stood still like clay statues, motionless.
After standing for a moment, Er Qiuzi spoke: "Strong man, you saved us. We have nothing to repay. We will give you some money and you can let us go."
After saying that, Erqiuzi started touching copper coins all over his body.
He had given Xu Zhiqiong two slings before, and he still had two slings left on him. He took out one and gave it to Xu Zhiqiong.
Brother Shen was reluctant to pay. Erqiuzi shouted: "What the hell are you doing? You are ungrateful. I don't have more or less. How much can I give you?"
It was like dragging the progress bar back to its original point. They seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before and their own ferocious appearance.
"Strong man, we don't have much money. That's all. I'll give it to you. This is what we're worth."
Xu Zhiqiong pointed the matchstick at Er Qiuzi's face.
Er Qiuzi covered his face with his sleeves and said, "Strong man, please stop looking. This fire is dazzling."
It's not that they don't know some things, but they don't want to know them, so they keep hiding from them.
But do those holding the fire know they are dead?
Xu Zhiqiong looked back at the couple, who had been holding torches.
Xu Zhiqiong stretched the torch to the man's face, and the man quickly stopped him with the torch.
The fire covered their faces so that they couldn't see their faces. They were different from the hired workers. They had been dead for almost a month, and they knew that bones were already visible on their faces.
But they still refused to throw away the torches in their hands.
Knowing that you are dead and admitting that you are dead are two different things.
The fire was still burning, so they felt there was still hope.
Is there anyone who doesn’t know they are dead?
There really is!
Several sergeants crawled out of the mud, pointed at everyone and shouted: "Where are you going! This road is blocked, you go to that path!"
It was these soldiers who forced these passers-by into Taotie's mouth.
Maybe Taotie is really hungry, or maybe these sergeants are just having fun. This matter will be investigated later, but the horns of these sergeants are not short.
As soon as they heard the sergeant's voice, everyone began to tremble.
The man shouted: "Master, we don't go that way, there are worms on that road!"
The sergeant smiled ferociously: "Should I listen to you or mine? Is it up to you where to go? Do you recognize the knife in this grandpa's hand?"
Another sergeant said: "Listen to me and just go to that road. It's a good place. Those workers, you are also in the wrong place. Come back!"
Erqiuzi shouted: "Sir, we don't want to do this work anymore. Let's go home."
The sergeant smiled and said: "We have collected the money, but you don't do the work? Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
Everyone cried and shouted, and the sergeant stepped forward and kicked them: "Please be honest and go back to the mountain. Grandpa, did you let me move? Believe it or not, I can trample you to death with just one kick?"
"Letter!" Xu Zhiqiong stepped on the sergeant's face, crushing it from nose to mouth.
This sergeant had been dead for a long time, and it seemed that Taotie often ate the sergeant who was guarding him.
Another sergeant shouted: "You are so desperate for your life, you dare to touch us, please try again..."
Xu Zhiqiong turned around and kicked the sergeant's face. The sergeant had not been dead for a long time, so his face was not so brittle, and it was still sticky when he kicked it.
Seeing Xu Zhiqiong knocking down all the sergeants, everyone planned to escape immediately, but suddenly they heard Xu Zhiqiong shout: "Don't leave! You have been running for so many days, from the third day of the first lunar month to the thirtieth day of the first lunar month, your legs are all gone."
The run is over, it’s time to go home!”
"Go home?" The woman looked at Xu Zhiqiong in surprise.
The girl in the basket stuck her head out: "Mom, can you go home?"
Brother Shen cried: "I'm going home, and my wife is still waiting for me!"
Er Qiuzi weighed the copper coins in his hand and sighed: "I wanted to make a couple of bucks and marry the Liu family's widow. Damn no luck. Let's wait until next year!"
"Going home! I'll give you a ride!" Xu Zhiqiong took out the master's seal and stamped it on the firewood stick in his hand.
Yesterday I got the Zhonglang Seal from Lu Yanyou. Xu Zhiqiong asked how to use the Zhonglang Seal and how much Qi should be poured into it? Lu Yanyou said it was similar to the Master Seal.
Xu Zhiqiong asked the master how to use the book seal.
Lu Yanyou was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
Being promoted too quickly may not be a good thing. Xu Zhiqiong felt that he missed a lot of things.
The guide book leads good people to the right road, evil people to the dead road, and the souls of the dead to the road of hell.
Xu Zhiqiong threw the torch stamped with Zhonglang's seal high into the air.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously looked to the sky.
While chatting in the underworld, Xu Zhiqiong once heard Shi Cheng say that the souls of the dead who are wandering in the world do not dare to look at the sky.
Lu Yanyou told Xu Zhiqiong that the ghosts did not dare to look at the sky during the day, but when they looked at the sun in the sky, they died.
They didn't dare to look at the sky at night. Looking at the stars in the sky, they could see the path they should take.
The galaxy is very beautiful tonight. Everyone's eyes followed Xu Zhiqiong's torch and were deeply attracted by the galaxy.
Since the day they died, they have been in Taotie's belly and have never seen the sky again. They are not so deeply afraid of the sky. They are deeply attracted by the stars and stare attentively until the stars drop their glow and slowly
Wrap them up.
Those faces that were originally dry or swollen became a little more lively and revealed a smile.
Their bodies fell to the ground, and the sins less than two inches above their heads quickly sank to the ground and disappeared.
Xu Zhiqiong opened the Eyes of Sin and watched as their souls flew up into the air little by little and disappeared into a golden light.
Huangquan Road, a good destination for dead souls.
The couple flew into the golden light, still holding their children tightly in their arms.
The second ball flew into the golden light, and he seemed to realize something, with a bit of unwillingness on his face.
"I haven't married yet!"
Brother Shen also flew into the golden light, groping around his body from time to time, wondering where the copper coins on his body were.
"Let's hit the road!" Xu Zhiqiong shouted, "You have suffered in this life, but in the next life, you will have a good family!"
The dead souls flew into Huangquan Road one by one, but some people couldn't get in.
Xu Zhiqiong pressed the necks of the sergeants to prevent them from looking up to the sky.
The sergeant trembled and whispered: "I, we also want to go home."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled slightly and said: "You military masters, what are your identities? How can you take this road? I will send you to a good place!"
"Grandpa, don't blame us, we were just following orders!" They knew what they had done.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "You are following orders, but you can't even spare a child? Do you know that the edge of a knife can move even an inch?"
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong picked off their horns and put them in his arms.
It was almost dawn, and Tao Huayuan's complexion had recovered a lot.
Xu Zhiqiong's heart palpitated. This was the effect of Zhonglang Seal. He felt Taotie approaching.
"Tao'er, it's time for us to go!"
Xu Zhiqiong helped Tao Huayuan up, and Tao Huayuan touched the magic circle.
As the array continued, it was already a hundred miles away from Qianku Mountain, and Xu Zhiqiong gradually lost his sense of Taotie's outer body.
Don't miss me, just wait for me for a few days and we will meet again soon.
