A loud shout of "Destroy Jin" from the audience made Jia Fei freeze on the spot, and the originally compact gongs and drums and the huqin rocking board became silent.
She turned her head and looked down. In the open space in front of the stage, almost everyone was standing still, and His Highness, who was sitting among the layers of guards, had fallen to the ground at this moment, and a stream of blood flowed from his body.
It slowly flows out.
Behind him, there are two men in black.
‘What happened just now? Why destroy Jin?’
Jia Fei hurriedly sent a message to Cheng Yu.
The cat demon on the stage is so dramatic that he doesn't care about what's happening under the stage.
But Cheng Yu on the eaves was not only wary of the sound of bells, but also always wary of the stage.
It turned out that just when the cannon sounded in the background, he who was on the roof clearly felt a powerful spiritual force sweeping in from outside the ferry. The barrier he had set up was also affected, shaking like a tent in the wind, but fortunately it was still there.
You have to be tough enough to maintain the formation.
But the people in the ferry outside the barrier were not so lucky, and almost all of them were enveloped by the fluctuations of spiritual power.
But there seemed to be an exception for the black-clothed servant standing alone on the left side behind His Highness. Not only did he move freely, but he was once again frightened by the sound of the cannon and trembled all over. Then he looked around for a while and found that the other black-clad servants around him had already
It's like being stuck in mud and can't move.
Looking at the five Jinwu captains surrounding His Highness, they seemed to be seeing the same thing.
He swallowed, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the captain in yellow who was standing between him and His Highness.
The captain remained unmoved as if someone had cast a restraining spell on him. He reached out and pushed the captain in green to one side, but the latter remained motionless and didn't even look back.
At this time, the two Jinwu Guardsmen closest to him seemed to be frozen and could not move rashly.
As for the more black-clad servants around him, most of them are facing the outside and on guard. At this moment, they are all like clay wax statues.
The healthy servant in black suddenly started to tremble inexplicably. He reached into his arms and touched them, as if to confirm that the things in his arms were safe.
Then he quickly pulled out a short blade from his sleeve, calmed his mind, and headed towards the man in brocade clothes sitting in the center of the circle.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Seeing that there was only one last step left to reach the back of Jin Yi, he could hardly hold the knife with one trembling hand, so he had no choice but to hold the knife with both hands and shouted "Destroy Jin!" out of thin air to embolden himself.
After shouting, he felt more courageous, and the tip of the knife finally stopped trembling, and it was sent toward His Highness' back heart with a cold light. Unexpectedly, when he was less than three feet away, a black shadow flashed past him. Jian Pu was agile and hurriedly retreated, only to see that the black shadow was a talisman, and it was not rushing towards him. It was hitting His Highness in the back of his heart.
"Poof!"
A flash of red light appeared, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
The strong servant in black, holding a sharp blade, was immediately dumbfounded. He never expected that he would succeed in the assassination, but would be snatched away halfway.
When he looked at the person opposite, his heart suddenly shrank again.
The other party is none other than His Highness’s personal bodyguard, the black-clad captain from the Jinwu Water and Health Department!
Sweat began to break out on the forehead of the strong servant in black. He stared at the captain in black opposite and remained motionless. He held the sharp blade tightly in his hand and guarded it carefully. All kinds of thoughts came to his mind.
It’s just that I was too hasty just now and only pushed the two captains Qing and Huang in front of me, but didn’t pay attention to the black-clad guy opposite.
It's just... I have the animal fangs in my clothes to ward off evil spirits so that I can move freely. How can he protect himself?
"You..."
He pointed at the captain in black and said the word "you" when he was choked by a glare from the other party.
"This..., could it be that you are also..."
The healthy servant in black paused for a moment and continued:
"Is he also someone who hates Jin thieves?"
The captain in black was always staring at his words. When he finished speaking, he laughed dryly and said:
"Stop beating around the bush, you and I are on the same journey, why are we asking each other like this?"
"Ah... a fellow traveler?"
The healthy servant in black hesitated a little when he heard the words. The other party did not answer his question, but in turn attacked his army. After thinking for a moment or two, he asked:
"Could it be that you are also sent by His Highness Prince Yu?"
Unexpectedly, the person opposite looked at his mouth shape, saw the word "Prince Yu", raised his eyebrows and said:
"Oh? It turns out that you are from King Yu. I'm sorry. I recognized the wrong person and I'm going to leave you alone."
After saying that, he smiled ferociously and was about to reach out to touch his arms. Hearing this, the strong servant in black hurriedly took two steps back and said rather timidly:
"Aren't you from King Yu? King Yu!"
"King Yu...King Yu! Hahahaha! Wonderful."
The captain in black smiled and looked down at the healthy servant in black, and continued meaningfully:
"It seems that you are really... from King Yu."
He added an accent to the word "King Yu", and then in a rare gesture, he stretched out his hand and gave a weak salute to the healthy servant in black.
Seeing this, the healthy servant in black sighed lightly, but still did not dare to let down his guard. He cupped his hands and said:
"Your Highness sent me to assassinate the Jin thieves, but you didn't tell me that I was accompanied by your Excellency. I offended you just now. Please forgive me."
The captain in black nodded, stood with his hands behind his back and said:
"Your Highness is well aware that this son is cunning and scheming, and that he has many good hands around him. How can he just entrust you and his bodyguard to handle such a big thing as the assassination of the Crown Prince? Therefore, he entrusted it to me and ordered me to take action on my own without telling you."
It’s because I’m afraid it will cause trouble and leak the news.”
Upon hearing this, the healthy servant in black raised his hands to the sky and bowed:
"Yes, yes, even your Excellency, who is a high-ranking Jinwu Guardsman, is willing to follow His Highness. This shows that His Highness is wise and powerful, and will surely be able to ascend to the throne in the future. His actions are something that no one can arbitrarily guess.
."
The captain in black snorted disdainfully upon hearing this:
"Hmph, how could you know with your naked eyes that your Highness is now possessed of purple energy, too small and dark, and I am just doing justice for heaven. Let me ask you, just now I saw you touching your arms, but what is hidden there?
Object?"
"Before I left, His Highness gave me an evil-proof object. He said that I should keep it close to my body. When the people around the Jin thief are immobilized, I can still move freely while carrying this object. My lord... isn't it?"
The healthy servant in black spoke softer and quieter, seeming to be suspicious again, and took two steps back again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The captain in black looked disdainfully and said with a cold face:
"I have something else given by His Highness. Otherwise, how could I not be afraid of the ringtone like you? Let me ask you again, if this assassination is successful, will Your Highness have anything else to tell you?"
"Reporting to your lord, if my assassination succeeds, your highness will ask me to evacuate this place immediately and not to touch the corpse of the Jin thief. Later, someone will take over the disposal. I don't know the humble position. It turns out that the person your highness said will take over is actually your lord. It's just that your lord is too
I was too hasty, and I actually took the first step and got this incredible credit."
After he finished speaking, the captain in black frowned and shook his head:
"I am not the one who takes over. The instructions I received from His Highness are the same as yours. Please tell me honestly, who is the person who takes over?"
"Ah? It's not you, my lord... then His Highness must have another back-up plan. He is in a low position and I really don't know the rest."
"Well..."
The captain in black gave a slight hum, and gently slipped a talisman out of his sleeve behind one hand. He looked at the other party meaningfully and said quietly:
"Then do you know what else His Highness has entrusted to me?"
"The subordinates are humble and talk lightly, but they don't know..."
"Dingle bell!"
Suddenly, another clear ringtone came from outside the ferry, and Cheng Yu, who was standing on the roof of the stage, felt another wave of spiritual energy fluctuations, and it was much stronger than the last time.
‘Be careful!’
He sent a message to remind Jia Fei.
‘Be careful of what?’
Jia Fei asked in reply, which surprised Cheng Yu.
‘Ring tone, haven’t you heard it?’
The cat demon shook his head slightly, and before he could ask any further questions, he dwarfed his figure on the stage, and then even held his breath. He turned around and looked at the audience again, only to find that the audience had changed again.
I saw the strong servant in black clothes who had committed the assassination, standing on the spot with his eyes blank. After a breath, a puff of light smoke came out of his arms.
The cat demon couldn't help but finally opened up his magical vision. Cheng Yu used his magical vision to look down the stage. Under the firelight, there was a humanoid shadow hanging above the head of the black-clothed servant, like a puppet being held by a string.
An invisible thread pulls upward.
Witchcraft!
Cheng Yu had heard from Liang Hongyu before that she encountered witchcraft in Mobei. The human-shaped shadow above the head of the black-clad servant in front of him should be his own soul, which was being fished out of the body bit by bit. This situation
It’s exactly the same as Liang Hongyu’s description.
At this moment, the captain in black clothes was still unharmed, but he was holding a talisman in each hand, taking a few steps back and standing in the shadow of the stage to be alert.
"Hey! Xili Zaha, He Qi Lu Ma, Sa Za."
There was a strange voice coming from the direction of the river. It sounded like it was spoken by an old woman, but Cheng Yu didn't understand a word of it.
"Dingle bell! Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
The bells rang immediately. Cheng Yu listened attentively and could tell that there were five people in front and behind him. The sound of their feet hitting the ground was obviously different from what he usually heard. They should all be barefoot, and the bells came from their ankles.
Rumor has it that the bell must be tied to the ankle.
‘Brother Cheng, is this the ring tone you just mentioned?’
Jia Fei sent a message to ask Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu nodded first and then shook his head.
It is true that the ringtone came from these women, but the ringtone at this time no longer had the same heart-wrenching feeling as before.
‘Back off first!’
He didn't have time to explain, so he only sent a message to Jiafei to retreat. The cat demon understood and was not in a hurry to ask questions. He immediately lowered himself and gently moved to the entrance door of the backstage and continued to look outside.
I saw five women wearing long black skirts. Their costumes were obviously different from those of Kyushu people. As expected, all of them were barefoot, with a silver bell tied to each ankle. Their faces were covered with black gauze, and there were no hairpins on their heads.
, spread out.
Among these five women, although the appearance of the leader cannot be seen, judging from her figure, deep-set eye sockets and head of white hair, she should be an old woman.
Every time the old woman took a step forward, along with the sound of a bell, the shadow of the healthy servant in black under the stage rose a little higher. Until it approached the stage, the servant's soul jumped out of the horizon like the rising sun.
Generally speaking, finally completely separated from the body.
The veil of the masked old woman fluttered slightly. After Cheng Yu heard her take a deep breath, he also tried his best to adjust his breathing. He must have spent a lot of energy on the previous operation.
"Hasuri, Kuruda, Purinhandaru."
A woman behind the old woman spoke in an passionate tone, but Cheng Yu still couldn't understand a word of what she said.
He sent a message to ask Jia Fei, and the cat demon also shook his head: Me too.
‘The Mobei barbarian’s words, which seemed to have a witchcraft accent, were to the general effect: Congratulations to my mother-in-law for finally mastering the soul-stealing technique.’
Hu Meizi from Jia Fei Demon Pill spoke out.
‘Soul-stealing magic? Do you know Barbarian language?’
‘Hehe, Xiaonu’s family has lived for more than a thousand years, so I can understand more or less what everyone is saying.’
Cheng Yu did not comment, and turned to look at the five women in black. He saw that all the women behind the old woman were kneeling down one after another, and what they said was exactly the same as the previous woman.
Well, depending on the situation, Hu Meizi didn’t make any nonsense this time.
‘Since you know the barbarian language, what did the first words that the old woman said before she showed up just now mean?’
Cheng Yu asked in a deep voice.
"When the old pious woman hid in the mist, the first words she said should be to the general effect: Jiuzhou idiot, you have already succeeded and you haven't retreated quickly. You should help me succeed."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, looking at the situation at this moment, it seems to be appropriate.
"Hahahaha..."
When the leading old woman saw that Jian Pu's soul had completely separated from her body, she suddenly chuckled. She completely ignored the black-clothed captain holding a talisman in the shadow opposite. She raised her withered old hand and made a gentle move, and Jian Pu's soul quickly floated towards her.<
/p>
Looking at Jian Pu's back, Cheng Yu fell into deep thought: The soul-stealing method... is manipulating human souls here, so why don't you see people from the Wujun Palace in Qianjiang Fucheng?
"Poof!"
A soft sound came, interrupting Cheng Yu's train of thought. He looked down and saw the spirit of the healthy servant drifting to a stop three feet away from the old woman. A blue-black flame inexplicably ignited from under her feet and enveloped her.<
/p>
The soul was extremely twisted and struggling in the flames, obviously in extreme pain, but within a few breaths, after a short and dull wail came out, most of the soul turned into fly ash, and finally condensed into a small white light.
The pill was submerged into the silver bell on the old woman's ankle.
The old woman took off the silver bell and shook it gently in front of her face. Some light particles occasionally spilled out from the bell. She closed a pair of turbid old eyes and chewed lightly with her toothless old mouth. A stream of black smoke floated out from the silver bell.
, was sucked into his mouth, and his old face suddenly looked like he was enjoying himself. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes gathered into two chrysanthemums, each embedded in the temples on both sides.
"Ah!"
After she finished sucking, she opened her mouth suddenly, and a stream of black air was sprayed towards the captain in black across from her.
The captain in black was already on guard, and when he saw this, he calmly raised the talisman in his left hand, causing it to spontaneously ignite instantly and then turned into an air shield in front of him. At the same time, he flicked his right hand forward, and another talisman broke through the air.
, and went towards the old woman with a "swish" sound.
At the same time, he no longer paid attention to the frozen people in the arena, as well as the His Highness who fell on the ground, and jumped back in a refracted direction, while still muttering something in his mouth.
After reciting a spell, the spiritual power around the captain in black fluctuated violently, causing Cheng Yu's heart to jump.
The mantra chanted by this man was the one he was most familiar with, and Cheng Yu was most familiar with it. It was exactly the word-quoting technique in Xiao Shui Xing Shu.
