The noise coming from outside the mountain temple almost made Jiang Hanlin wet his pants.
He was just bragging, he couldn't be that clever, right?
The guard commander of the Xiao family was the first to react, holding a long knife in front of Miss Xiao and the housekeeper, and shouted: "Who is outside!"
Outside the mountain temple, an old voice babbled and laughed strangely: "I chose to take the path in this barren mountain instead of the main road. You made it easy for me to find it.
But it’s okay, I can deal with you here so that you don’t have to deal with traces anymore.”
The old butler of the Xiao family said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know who you are, but do you know that my master is a fifth-rank official in the imperial court!
If you dare to touch us, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Jingyesi in the future?"
The man laughed strangely: "Afraid, of course I am afraid, but it is precisely because of being a relative of a fifth-grade official that it is worth seven thousand taels of silver!"
As the man's words fell, the rotten wooden door outside the mountain temple was completely overturned, and dozens of corpses appeared in front of everyone!
Each of those corpses looked hideous and terrifying, and some were even rotting.
But at this time, they were like living creatures, wearing tattered armor and approaching the crowd stiffly.
Gu Cheng looked at Jiang Hanlin: "Is this the zombie you call?"
Jiang Hanlin shook his head tremblingly: "No, these things can't be considered zombies, they are just wandering corpses.
Practitioners who are good at refining zombies divide zombies into seven levels, namely wandering zombies, white zombies, black zombies, purple zombies, flying zombies, non-bone zombies, and demons.
Zombies will not rot, Bai Zhi will also grow white hair and sharp claws on his body, and his body speed is astonishing.
Some of these corpses have rotted and have not undergone any obvious changes. They are just the lowest level of wandering corpses."
Although Jiang Hanlin likes to brag, he still knows a lot about the world of cultivation.
Han Jingjing immediately said to the side: "Brother, didn't you say that you killed those zombies with your sword in hand, let alone these wandering zombies? If you feel that you are not comfortable with a single sword, you can lend me this sword to senior brother.
your."
Seeing Han Jingjing handing him the sword with a look of admiration and seriousness on his face, Jiang Hanlin suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
Junior sister, you are teasing me on purpose, right?
Jiang Hanlin did not take the sword, but shouted: "Outside, we are not with them, there is no reward for killing us!"
The voice laughed strangely: "I don't care if he has a silver reward or not, let you go. If Jingyesi's hawks and dogs find out, I will have to be a ground rat for a while.
If you want to blame it, it’s your misfortune, go feed these little babies like me!”
Han Jingjing pulled Jiang Hanlin's sleeve angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother, why are you like this? Didn't you say that it is the duty of warriors like us to hoe the strong and support the weak, and to eliminate demons and protect the Tao?"
Jiang Hanlin said helplessly: "Junior sister, please wake up! You also need to consider your own strength in order to eliminate demons and protect the Tao.
The only weakness of these wandering zombies is their slow movement. If they are left outside, as long as you give me a horse, my senior brother, I can take care of them all.
But here, the mountain roads are difficult to navigate and the area is small. Dozens of wandering corpses are rushing towards them at the same time. Who can stop them?
Moreover, these corpse-refining cultivators always like to add corpse poison to corpses, and they will be gone even if they are half-lived.
It’s not that senior brother doesn’t want to help, it’s just that his strength doesn’t allow it.”
The Xiao family's guard leader snorted coldly: "You retreat and go down the mountain from the back door of the temple. We will resist! Pull out your arrows and shoot!"
As he said that, the guard commander and the other five guards took out their bows and arrows to fend off the wandering corpses.
However, there are too many of these wandering corpses, and as long as they are not shot in the head, they can still move forward. Six bows and arrows can only temporarily slow down their speed.
But with their bows and arrows blocking the way, everyone had time to escape through the back door.
But at this time, it was impossible to see out of hand in the mountain forest, and the mountain road was difficult to travel. The speed of everyone was also slowed down, and they saw that the group of wandering corpses behind them were about to catch up.
At this time, the scholar Zhao Xinghua suddenly said: "I know there is a shortcut to go down the mountain. Everyone, follow me. As long as we reach the open road, those wandering corpses will not be able to catch up with us."
Jiang Hanlin suddenly became happy: "Seriously? Then we can be saved!"
With that said, he pulled Han Jingjing to follow Zhao Xinghua, but Gu Cheng, the young lady and the housekeeper of the Xiao family did not move.
Gu Cheng suddenly said: "Don't go, that scholar is evil."
Zhao Xinghua said dissatisfied: "Brother, I saved you with good intentions, but you said that I am evil. You really don't know the heart of a good person.
Forget it, you continue to resist the wandering corpse here, I will escape first, don't blame me for being unethical."
With that said, Zhao Xinghua walked deep into the dense forest.
Jiang Hanlin looked around, seeing corpses on one side and a way out on the other.
Besides, Gu Cheng had always kept a low profile before. He thought that Gu Cheng was just a wanderer, so he pulled Han Jingjing and followed Zhao Xinghua.
Han Jingjing hesitated and said: "Senior brother..."
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Gu Cheng shrugged upon seeing this.
When encountering something like this, Gu Cheng doesn't mind helping if he can.
But he is not a bad person. If people don't listen to him, what can he do?
However, before Jiang Hanlin had walked that far, a deafening tiger roar suddenly came from the other side, mixed with the screams of Jiang Hanlin's brothers and sisters.
Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing fled back in embarrassment. Behind them, a huge and eye-catching tiger covered in stripes was chasing them. The scholar Zhao Xinghua followed behind the tiger, surrounded by Yin Qi.
Just now Zhao Xinghua told a story about a villain who worked for a tiger. In fact, he was the ghost who worked for a tiger!
Gu Cheng has always been good at observing people's emotions, and during the series of conversations just now, he discovered that this scholar was full of lies.
The imperial examination will be held next year, so why did he come to the capital this year? Even though he had enough time, he, a weak scholar, still walked through the alleys.
And he was obviously lost, so how could he know the path now?
His words were inconsistent and his expression was uncomfortable. It was clear that something was going on.
At this time, the tiger leaped towards Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing at such a speed that only a dark yellow shadow could be seen in the dark night.
"Junior sister, you go first!"
Jiang Hanlin likes to brag, but he is not very reliable. He is also timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He keeps shouting about slaying demons and defending the road, but in fact, when he is in danger, he wants to be wise and protect himself.
But at this moment, the real crisis was ahead. He stopped in front of Han Jingjing, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and used the Qingyuan Cold Light Sword of Qingyuan Sword Sect, the tip of the sword thrust out with a little bit of cold light.
However, there was a trace of extremely human disdain in the eyes of the dazzling tiger, and he changed his attack to swinging his claws. The sharp claws collided with the long sword, and there were loud explosions of gold and iron. The power was so great.
Let Jiang Hanlin retreat step by step.
Jiang Hanlin's Qingyuan Cold Light Sword is best at stabbing the opponent's vital points when facing an enemy, and what he pays attention to is a swift and fierce attack.
But his opponent is a fierce tiger. What's the key? Jiang Hanlin can be said to have no experience.
Moreover, Gu Cheng could tell that although Jiang Hanlin was stronger than him, he was not yet at the eighth level, probably at the peak of the ninth level, and his strength was far inferior to that of the fierce tiger.
At this time, the eye-catching tiger suddenly flicked its tail, and the tiger's tail whipped out like a steel whip.
Jiang Hanlin didn't expect the tiger to have such a move. He was immediately slapped with blood from his mouth and rolled to the side.
Han Jingjing cried loudly and helped Jiang Hanlin up, begging Gu Cheng: "Brother Gu, please save my senior brother!"
The old housekeeper and Miss Xiao were both powerless, and only Gu Cheng seemed to be a practitioner. She had no choice but to ask Gu Cheng for help, and she regretted not listening to Gu Cheng's words just now.
Gu Cheng glanced at the approaching group of corpses in front of him, and then at the eye-catching tiger behind him. He estimated his current trump card, and walked out holding the hilt of his sword.
