The corners of the mouths of the nine corpses were cut open with sharp tools, all the way to the ears, and the white teeth were exposed. The corners of the eyes were also tampered with, and a red thread was sewn to lift up the corners of the eyes. In this way, the dead people were forced to
He made a smiling face, as if he was smiling to welcome guests.
At this moment, Wang Junlin suddenly saw the nine corpses moving. The movement was very slow and the movements were inconsistent, like puppets on strings. But even this was enough to make anyone horrified.
Wang Junlin's expression also changed, but he suddenly heard strange noises coming from the ground beneath the nine corpses. When he took a closer look, some of the joints on the nine corpses were actually connected to thin threads, and the thin threads extended all the way to the ground.
There are some small holes on the ground. It is obvious that the ground is empty, and someone inside is controlling the movement of the nine corpses through these silk threads.
At this time, the nine corpses moved again, and they made a neat gesture of invitation. Their shriveled jaws opened and closed, and they shouted in unison: "Nine corpses are welcome!"
Of course, this is not the nine corpses talking, the voice is coming from underneath the nine corpses.
Wang Junlin took a deep breath and thought to himself: "This guy really knows how to play. If I didn't have sharp eyes and ears, I would be really frightened."
The mixed-race man who welcomed Wang Junlin next to him saw that Wang Junlin's face changed slightly after the initial change, but his face was calm, and there was even a touch of sarcasm in his eyes. He knew that most of these tricks were seen through by the distinguished guest, so he explained:
"Dear guests, nine corpses welcome guests. Nine corpses with different death methods welcome guests. It is the most noble etiquette passed down by our people since the Spring and Autumn Period."
Wang Junlin looked open-eyed, nodded, still did not speak, and followed this person into the tent.
As soon as he walked into the giant tent, he was startled again by the scene in front of him.
When he first entered the giant tent, there were two large chopping boards placed at the door. On each of them lay a young girl with eyes. Both girls wore gold foil masks on their faces. Wang Junlin couldn't see their faces clearly.
Both girls had a leather rope tied around their mouths. Their clothes were very familiar to Wang Junlin. Their heads were fixed on a wooden clamp, and their whole bodies were trembling. There were four strong men beside them, working in pairs.
One of them held a chisel in his hand and kept making gestures on the girl's head, as if he wanted to carve out the girl's head. The other person held a plate, as if he was waiting for the waiter to serve the food.
"Dear guest, you have come from afar. My master is itchy and cannot come out to greet you. In order to make up for the rudeness, in addition to the nine corpses to greet the guest, we also prepared the highest etiquette of our clan for the guest - a pair of girls' wine glasses.
Come and welcome you." The butler introduced warmly from the side.
Wang Junlin cursed in his heart: "These perverts, no wonder they were almost exterminated by the Huns in history. Your fucking etiquette is so anti-human. You are anti-human!"
Wang Junlin only knew that the nine surnames of Zhaowu had the etiquette of welcoming guests with nine corpses, but he did not know that there was also the etiquette of using a girl's head as a wine glass. However, he did remember that in the European Middle Ages, some decadent old and weak nobles would do anything to prolong their lives.
Using a virgin's skull as a container for drinking wine is said to prolong life. The most terrifying thing is that, just like before, the skull to be peeled off must be taken from the head of a living person on the spot.
Wang Junlin remembered in which book he had read that human oil lamps, skull wine glasses and human skin masks were regarded as the most inhumane practices and will be forever nailed to history as a shame for mankind.
On the pillar of shame.
Whether in later generations or in this era, Wang Junlin has killed people, and he has killed many people, but he still can't stand these perverted actions, not to mention the clothes on these two girls, it doesn't look like he left in the morning
The clothes worn by Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yuer when they were in Shazhou.
So Wang Junlin said seriously: "I hate this etiquette."
As he spoke, he reached out and took off the leather cords from the two girls' mouths, and took off the masks on their faces. Before the masks were taken off, the two girls began to cry loudly. The voices were very familiar, and Wang Junlin's expression changed.
A big change. When I took off the mask, I saw it wasn't Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er, but someone else.
Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er were obviously frightened. They both got up and hugged Wang Junlin's arms without letting go. They were trembling all over. Their teeth kept hitting each other, making gurgling sounds. Their bodies were already soaked with sweat.
clothes.
Wang Junlin patted Su Jingxiang's shoulder, his expression darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "I hate people threatening me most in my life."
At this moment, a hoarse and weak voice came out from the huge tent.
"Don't blame the poisonous general. These lowly people below do not know the preferences of the poisonous general and have prepared these etiquettes to welcome guests. They are really worthy of death. Now that the poisonous general is coming, why not go into the tent and talk about it with those lowly people?
If the poison causes dissatisfaction, just kill him."
Wang Junlin took a deep breath, held the hands of Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er, and walked into the huge tent.
The huge tent has sixteen windows, which are covered with the skin of an unknown animal, which is thin and transparent. The decoration inside is magnificent, with colorful curtains everywhere, various precious utensils inlaid with gold and silver, and
The golden nanmu furniture is carefully placed inside.
Wang Junlin suddenly noticed that Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er beside him began to tremble again. He raised his eyes and looked deep into the middle of the tent, and found a person sitting on a throne.
Wang Junlin saw this person's appearance clearly, especially his skin color, and couldn't help but exclaim. This person was extremely tall. Although he was sitting, Wang Junlin estimated that he was at least two meters tall, but this was not the reason why Wang Junlin exclaimed.
, because this person turned out to be a black man.
"What the hell is going on? How can there be black people in China at this time?" Wang Junlin exclaimed in his heart, but when he took a closer look, he found that something was wrong. This was not a black person, but there seemed to be something wrong with his skin color, because he
I saw that this black man had white hands.
"This... Your Excellency has a strange poison in his body." Wang Junlin narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered a strange poison he had heard about in later generations. At the same time, he also vaguely understood the purpose of the owner here who went to all the trouble to invite him here, and at the same time he felt at ease.
Quite a few.
The person sitting on the throne suddenly opened his eyes, looked excited, and said: "The poisonous general is indeed worthy of his reputation. Is there a way to detoxify him?"
Wang Junlin did not answer, but asked: "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said: "I killed Qian Mo and took the liberty to invite the poisonous general here. I also invited the poisonous general Haihan."
Wang Junlin frowned. The word "kill" didn't belong to any of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. But then he suddenly thought of something. His body trembled. Looking at the tall man who called himself Sha Qianmo, his pupils shrank, and he gave a long laugh and said
: "It turns out that the Horse Thief King of the Western Regions is in front of me. I'm rude."
Many people in the Western Regions don’t know who the Western Turkic Khan is or who King Tuguhun Bailan is. But no one doesn’t know that the Horse Thief King of the Western Regions killed Qianmo. Legend has it that Qianmo did all kinds of evil and has been roaming the land of the Western Regions for more than ten years.
, it is said that he is three feet tall, rides a huge white camel, and eats a calf for every meal. He has nine brothers, each of whom is a demon. After robbing and killing people, he will dig out the heart and liver of business travelers and use
Eat roasted over fire.
Of course, these are just legends, but most of the so-called groundless legends actually have some basis. For example, Sha Qianmo is three feet tall. Although it is an exaggeration, Sha Qianmo is two meters tall. It is indeed tall.
Much taller than ordinary people.
The Western Region is the most popular place for horse thieves in the world. A wise man once counted the number of horse thieves in the Western Region. There were no fewer than 100,000 horse thieves in the Western Region, and the legendary King of Horse Thieves, Sha Qianmo, had 30,000 horse thieves in his hands.
It is said that these 30,000 horse thieves who are more ferocious than wolf cubs are usually scattered in nine places in the Western Region, with 3,000 people in each place. Sha Qianmo himself commands 3,000 people. And the leaders of the horse thieves in these nine places are loyal to Sha Qianmo. As long as Sha Qianmo
With just one order, you can die for Qian Mo.
It can be said that in the Western Regions, the deterrent power of Killing Qianmo is second only to the Great Khan of the Western Turks. Even the Western Turks are afraid of Killing Qianmo. There have long been rumors that Killing Qianmo would have proclaimed himself the Horse Thief King. If he wanted to establish a country in the Western Regions
It was easy, and the reason why they did not build a country was because they wanted to build a big country that could compete with the Western Turks.
Since coming to Gaotai City as a guard, Wang Junlin has often heard rumors about killing Qian Mo for more than half a year. Of course, this man has killed countless people and is a villain among the villains, but his own deeds are a legend.
Wang Junlin thought that one day he must meet this horse thief king, but he never expected that he would meet here and in this way.
He suddenly remembered that in the original history, there were nine desert oasis countries in Central Asia during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, namely the "Nine Surnames of Zhaowu", including Kang, Shi, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Huoxun and Wudi.
. They were on the ancient Silk Road and were good at doing business for generations. After the Western Turks were pacified in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, these nine countries surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and then began to integrate with the Han people in the Central Plains. Several of them became some of the Chinese
Origin of surname.
"Could it be that the nine-pronged horse thieves under Qian Mo's command are Zhao Jiu?" Wang Junlin wondered secretly in his heart.
Seeing the famous Poison General Wang Junlin's face change after hearing his name, Sha Qianmo looked satisfied and said: "Since the Poison General debuted, he poisoned Longxi City, burned Shuiquan Pass, and destroyed 200,000 people in the Western Turks' rear camp.
The army has food, grass, cattle and sheep. These deeds make me yearn for the poisonous general! As far as I know, some time ago, the three major Western Turkic forces had internal strife, resulting in nearly 100,000 casualties. It must have been caused by the poisonous general.
hand."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "What I have done is far from your heroic deeds. On the contrary, you have been traveling in the Western Regions for more than ten years, which makes me yearn for it."
