After Wang Junlin took Niu Jinda out of the inn, without saying a word, he put him down and sat cross-legged in front of him. He sat cross-legged behind Niu Jinda, put his hands on his back, and began to detoxify him with his internal energy.
After a while, Niu Jinda suddenly sneezed, and a piece of green booger as big as a finger came out of his nostrils. The green color on his face gradually dissipated and returned to normal. Wang Junlin took a breath, closed his hands and stood up.
Niu Jinda jumped up from the ground, with a look of lingering fear on his face, and swore in his heart that if he encountered a similar situation in the future, no matter what his Lord Marquis said, he would not hesitate at all, just as these guards did.
With this thought in his heart, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Wang Junlin, with a look of shame and gratitude in his eyes as he said, "I'm humble and incompetent."
Wang Junlin waved his hand, but ignored him. Instead, he motioned to Xu Jingzong to bring a porcelain bottle and put the green snot spurting out of Niu Jinda's nostrils between wooden sticks.
"They are just a bunch of old perverts who claim to be some kind of outsider from the Immortal Hidden Sect." Wang Junlin looked a little solemn and couldn't help cursing. He knew that since there was a second corpse with a smiling face, there would probably be more along the way.
The remaining eight welcome corpses.
"Burn this post on fire." Wang Junlin glanced at the post, thought for a moment and ordered. Next to him, Zhan Peng immediately arranged for two guards to carry out the task, and soon the dilapidated post was ablaze with fire.
After watching the entire inn burn to ashes, Wang Junlin and his people continued on their way. There were originally villages where they could stay overnight, but they were worried about causing undue disaster to these villagers, so Wang Junlin and his party finally settled in a dilapidated mountain temple outside the village.
One night.
…
…
The convoy continued to move forward the next day, and the 800-mile plain of the Qinling Mountains was gradually left behind. The road ahead gradually became narrower, and it would soon leave Hechi County and enter Tianshui County of Yongzhou.
With Wang Junlin's status at this time, local officials such as the governor of Hechi County, Chang Shi, Ying Yanglang, etc. would not neglect them, so Wang Junlin and his party received a grand reception. There were constant banquets and banquets along the way, with a strange and terrifying face.
Smiling faces greet Wang Junlin and dare to show up from time to time. There are roadside wine shop owners, tiger hunters in the mountains, and even a beautiful girl in her teens. Compared with the people who greeted Wang Junlin in the Qilian Mountain Camel City at the beginning of the year, Sha Qianmo
Among the nine corpses, the Xianyinmen's methods are more sophisticated and sophisticated, or more sophisticated. For example, the nine corpses are three teenagers, three young people, and three adults. And the smiling faces are not unchanged. If you observe carefully, you will find that
There is actually a subtle difference.
However, just like the first two welcome corpses, each corpse behind has become a terrifying killing weapon. Anyone who does not touch it, even within three steps, will die without a burial place, including Po Gong.
For an early master, even with Wang Junlin's knowledge, it was an eye-opener. Of course, for Niu Jinda, Zhan Peng, Yu Zimo, Liu Ziming, Xu Jingzong, Shen Guoer, and hundreds of guards, it was a time of astonishment and wonder.
Of course, every time they were discovered and killed by their own prince in advance, and they were always able to avoid it in time, this made them admire their prince even more.
Just seeing that all the nine welcoming corpses had appeared, the real owner had not yet appeared in front of Wang Junlin. This made Wang Junlin dare not relax his vigilance at all. Along the way, he carefully recalled the information he learned from Sun Simiao.
Information about the Immortal Yin Sect, I thought about some things over and over again.
The ecological environment will be better when there are fewer people. There are ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road, and the forest in autumn is more golden. It does not have the slightest hint of withering, but is more vibrant. I saw many dried fruits and wild fruits along the way. Watching it from the carriage window made me salivate, but Wang Junlin strictly ordered no one to eat it.
After three peaceful days, they camped in a valley that night. When they left the valley tomorrow, they would officially enter Tianshui County.
"Wow, woo hoo, haha, hahaha -" Under the starry sky, several eagle owls looking for food flew over the heads of the team with a sly smile, as if they were mocking something.
This nocturnal raptor is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood food. Wherever a hunter appears, or at the edge of a battlefield, a large group of them will soon fly around. They will wander around like ghosts, waiting to devour the entrails of animals abandoned by hunters, or fight. The corpses of dead soldiers. However, it is not peaceful here right now. How come there are so many corpses?
Looking at these eagle owls, Wang Junlin thought of the flocks of crows that appeared in the two nights when he made a bet with the old man Tianying. He glanced at the dark night around him, feeling a little uneasy, and said to Zhan Peng and Niu Jinda next to him: "Send a warning first. , then eat quickly, and then set up the tent to rest. Anyway, I have to have a good rest tonight, and I have to continue on my way tomorrow morning!"
Niu Jinda and Zhan Peng agreed and went to make arrangements separately.
…
…
Just after eating dry food, the lynx fur and the blood-maned horse began to behave abnormally and restlessly. Wang Junlin's slightly taller nose kept twitching in short and rapid movements, as if he could distinguish some abnormal smell from the air. .
At the same time, Wang Junlin listened carefully and found that the calls of night owls tonight were several times denser than usual. Moreover, there seemed to be a large number of mournful wild birds mixed in. Suddenly, another large group of wild pheasants panicked and flew directly. They flew over the fire. Their wings were accidentally ignited by sparks, and a dozen of them fell from the air screaming.
However, no one was in the mood to laugh at the stupidity of the birds, nor was they in the mood to hunt the pheasants whose feathers had been burned off by the fire. The birds were frightened at night, which meant that a large group of soldiers and horses were quickly heading towards this place. The border is approaching. Except for the soldiers and horses from Tianshui County and Hechi County, it is impossible to have large groups of soldiers and horses in this area.
"Put out the fire, mount your horses, and form an array!" Wang Junlin quickly issued the three simplest orders.
Without the need for others to repeat themselves, the hundreds of guards silently put on their armor, prepared weapons and crossbows, then all mounted their horses and gathered behind Wang Junlin, ready to charge.
"Uncle Master, let me charge forward later and lead the charge!" Yu Zimo came trotting over on horseback, carrying his two hundred-jin hammers, and said to Wang Junlin with a longing look on his face.
Wang Junlin knew that Yu Zimo had been holding back for more than three months, and even though his legs were not completely clear now, Ma Zhan was not affected at all. So, after a little hesitation, he agreed to Yu Zimo's request.
Note: The eagle owl is a nocturnal bird of prey that was once very easy to see in the northern mountainous areas. It is huge in size and has an unpleasant cry. It belongs to the same order as the common grass owl (owl) in the folk. But it is several times larger. It eats mice. Snakes, young eagles, wild boar cubs and other animals, as well as carrion abandoned by wild beasts.
