The broken plank road was still barely passable. After leaving the first line of heaven, Feng Qianjun sat on a high ground and let Chen Xing temporarily perch. He turned around and dragged the corpse over for inspection.
It was a soldier from the Jin army. His body was sluggish, and his whole body was already stiff and cold. Feng Qianjun said, "This man was thrown down after he died. Can you see the cause of death?"
The two checked back and forth, but found no stab wounds and arrow wounds on the Jin soldier, and no purple-black bruises were found on his neck.
"Maybe it's poisoning." Chen Xing said, "I can't see it since it's been dead for too long, so I have to find someone to do it. Does the other party want to destroy the corpse?"
The Jin soldier's corpse had a distorted and terrifying expression on his face. He was obviously frightened before he died, but generally speaking, people will feel a sense of fear when they die unexpectedly, and it is really hard to judge. The only thing that can be confirmed is that he has been dead for at least two days, his face is covered with hoarfrost, and he has not rotted because of the cold weather. It happened to match what the book order in the city said.
Feng Qianjun: "I'll look on the top to see if I can find any traces. You stay here for a while and call when someone comes, I can see you."
Chen Xing replied, "It's okay, I've always had good luck. There won't be an accident for a while. The body just fell and didn't hit me."
Feng Qianjun brought an iron crossbow and a slender steel knife around his waist. He walked up to the Tianshan wall to check, and turned back: "I guess the person who dumped the corpse knew that we were down there and didn't plan to hit you."
Chen Xing: "???"
Feng Qianjun's agility, he saw that he first jumped up on a rock, then turned around and pulled up, and then turned to the vertical elevation of the rock, and then he rose steadily, jumping up to the top of the line in the sky.
Chen Xing is still recalling what Feng Qianjun said-knowing that there is someone below, but he didn't plan to hit me? What means? Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and the corpse thrower was warning us not to pass this place
For some reason, Chen Xing always felt that a pair of eyes were watching him in the dark.
Feng Qianjun waved at him from a height, and Chen Xing also waved at him.
"What did you find?" Chen Xing shouted.
Feng Qianjun did not answer and disappeared. Chen Xing became uneasy. After a while, Feng Qianjun found another way from the high cliff and came down, leading a military horse.
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Qianjun looked at his face and knew that he was worried about himself, but laughed and said, "What? Tianchi, are you worried about my accident?"
Chen Xingdao: "Of course! It's a little dangerous to act alone in the wilderness."
Feng Qianjun suddenly said: "We met by chance, I just knew each other for less than twelve hours, you kid."
Chen Xing didn't know why, so he was a little embarrassed, and saw Feng Qianjun pick up the corpse with one hand and put it on the horse. Binding tightly, he patted the horse's stock and said, "Let's go! Take him back to Maicheng, Maicheng! Drive!"
The horse ran away with the dead body.
The two ignited a fire in the lee at the foot of the mountain, and decided to spend the night in the open air, and they would make calculations after going up the mountain tomorrow.
Chen Xing moved towards the bonfire, the two of them were speechless for a while, and they were all in a trance.
"Brother Feng, what are you thinking?" Chen Xing asked Feng Qianjun.
The bonfire was reflected on Feng Qianjun's face, and Feng Qianjun said lightly, "I'm thinking about how that person died, how about you?"
"Me too." Chen Xing replied. The time was limited just now, so it was not good to pick up the clothes of a sacrificial soldier and examine it carefully.
"Maybe it is a very small hidden weapon," Chen Xing said, "some highly poisonous, can achieve this effect."
Feng Qianjun frowned deeply and said, "Forget it, let's go to sleep, wise brother, even though the martial arts of the foolish brother are not as good as your Dharma protector, they are still somewhat better. You sleep next to me at night, don't be afraid."
Chen Xing is not too afraid. His luck has always been tried and tested. If there is any enemy, he doesn't have to do it himself. God will help him clean up first. When he went south to Xiangyang, Xiangyang was surrounded by iron buckets, Chen Xing waited and waited, but he couldn't get into the city. Forcibly conquer this first important city in Jingzhou.
This stupid and absurd move really caught the attention of the enemy's army of 200,000 people. The Qin army immediately sent a hundred troops to chase him, but the arrows either shot crookedly or were blown away by the wind. Chen Xing ran and ran and got lost. He couldn't tell the direction along the way. He took hundreds of cavalry and ran up the river outside the city of Xiangyang. It was freezing cold and the river was frozen. river. The cavalry chasing behind were too heavy, and they stepped on the ice and fell into the water.
As soon as he arrived on the other side of the river, Chen Xing found another ladder that he didn't know who had built it. He thought it was a wooden ladder secretly arranged for the siege of the city, so he climbed up the ladder, and there was not a single Xiangyang defender on the top of the city wall. Qin Jun After chasing down to the city tower, Chen Xing pushed down the ladder and smashed many enemies into the glacier. Finally, after arranging his hair and robes, he came down from the city wall as usual, so he entered the city smoothly.
Every time he ran into trouble, Chen Xing's life always shouted "Huh? There's a ladder here! Great! There's a horse here, great! Great! Great!" Alright." In the sound of sincere praise, all the enemies who dared to oppose him along the way would inevitably end up turning their backs on their horses and making shit.
Chen Xing thought about it, turned around, Feng Qianjun slept with his back to Chen Xing, Chen Xing stretched out a hand from behind and touched Feng Qianjun's arm, pinching it.
Feng Qianjun: "..."
Chen Xing: "Brother Feng, your arm is very stiff. It probably takes a little effort to puncture you."
Feng Qianjun became a little embarrassed and said, "Really?"
Chen Xing said "um" and casually touched Feng Qianjun's chest. He studied medicine in the mountains for eight years. One of them was to recognize acupoints. People's muscles and body are different, and the acupuncture points are also prone to deviation. Master has been ill for a long time, and his body is thin. He is not as strong as Feng Qianjun. He has a sense of strength in his arms and chest.
Feng Qianjun reminded: "Brother Xian, we have only just met for the first day, this progress is too fast."
"Oh." Chen Xing retracted the hand that pinched the acupuncture point on Feng Qianjun's shoulder, and said casually, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."
Feng Qianjun said, "What are you curious about? Brother Yu is about nine inches, usually less than four inches."
Chen Xing hadn't realized what nine inches and four inches meant, but said, "You are not a killer, Brother Feng, you lied."
Feng Qianjun: "..."
With his back to Chen Xing, Feng Qianjun's eyes suddenly showed a dangerous look, but he smiled: "Do you know?"
"The killer's arms and chest are not like this," Chen Xing said. "My master is the killer, and his body is different from yours in many ways."
"There are also differences between killers," Feng Qianjun turned around and explained, "the exercises are different."
"Hmm." Chen Xing didn't insist, closed his eyes, Feng Qianjun became uneasy, but seeing the lie being pierced, Chen Xing didn't care much, but fell asleep first.
A gust of wind blew, Feng Qianjun suddenly opened his eyes, snorted, raised his eyes and glanced to the north, the Big Dipper gradually lowered into the sky, the time passed, and there was a strange smell in the wind.
Feng Qianjun immediately sat up and turned to look at Chen Xing, who was still asleep.
The smell was getting heavier and heavier, and it floated from the upper wind. Feng Qianjun gently pulled out the knife, looked around, and walked towards the place where the smell came from. The two horses tied to a nearby tree began to sense something was wrong and became restless.
There was a light noise in the bushes, Feng Qianjun stopped in front of the bushes, holding a dagger in his hand, suddenly a figure rushed out silently!
Feng Qianjun immediately took out his knife, slashing into the black shadow's chest like a lightning bolt, and at the same time, he suddenly pulled back and retreated sharply. He pulled the dagger with his left hand, raised his hand almost at the same time, and stabbed the attacker behind the back of the neck!
Feng Qianjun: "!!!"
The right hand dagger directly hits the enemy's heart, and it can kill the enemy with one slash, and the left hand dagger pierces the enemy's neck. The two moves are considered to be the last resort, and they can end the lives of both front and rear at the same time. However, what Feng Qianjun never expected was that the two attackers ignored the sharp knives that had been plunged into their bodies, and the man behind him slammed his arms around Feng Qianjun's neck. The man in front hugged Feng Qianjun's half body tightly!
Feng Qianjun opened his eyes wide and smelled the smell of rotting corpses. The dead faces of two Jin soldiers appeared in front of him!
Dead people? !
Feng Qianjun's neck was restrained, and he wanted to make a sound to wake Chen Xing, but he couldn't make a sound. He raised his foot and kicked the living corpse in front of him. With a muffled sound, the opponent's chest made a sound of bones breaking, and he flew out and fell down the hillside.
He got rid of the one in front of him, but the one behind him became tighter and tighter. The huge mouth with rotting blood was less than three inches away from his side face, and it was about to bite down on his neck when he opened his mouth!
Chen Xing's dog woke up, ran over and barked at the living corpse.
Feng Qianjun turned around and lifted the living corpse up, but the opponent's arm didn't relax at all. He took the corpse monster and fell to the ground, smashing the dead man's arm, but the dead man did not let go no matter what. This kind of monster that is not afraid of pain is actually useless!
"Chen..." Feng Qianjun made a difficult voice, signaling the dog to hurry up and wake the owner.
The two horses were suddenly startled, each broke free from the reins, and ran out of sight. Chen Xing slept soundly, and usually couldn't wake up from thunder. Feng Qianjun and the living corpse kept rolling and fighting three steps away from him. Chen Xing just turned over and turned his back to Feng Qianjun. The living corpse clasped Feng Qianjun's neck firmly with both hands, and his feet were wrapped around his waist, like a ghost possessed.
Feng Qianjun dragged a living corpse like a tarsus, and was about to be strangled, struggling to climb in front of Chen Xing. Finally, he grabbed the blanket under Chen Xing and yanked it abruptly.
Chen Xing rolled, his head hit the stone on the ground, and he suddenly screamed and woke up.
Chen Xing: "Brother Feng?"
Dog: "Wow! Woo! Woo!"
Feng Qianjun: "..."
"Ah!!!" Chen Xing yelled, "What?! Ya! 魃?!"
Feng Qianjun's eyes darkened, and he pulled the corpse's hand hard. Chen Xing immediately stepped forward and said, "Stop screaming! Is this a scorpion? Brother Feng? What are you doing?"
Feng Qianjun pointed at the arm of the living corpse, gritted his teeth, and was about to die. Chen Xing hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and the living corpse roared at him and began to bite him. A living monster! No, it's inappropriate to say that... You monster!"
Feng Qianjun: "..."
Chen Xing picked up a rock and smashed the finger of the living corpse hard. Feng Qianjun was exhausted and made a gesture, meaning you should run away, leave me alone, he took the living corpse and used his last strength to head towards the mountain wall. Hit it hard.
"Wait!" Chen Xing turned his head and saw that there was a dagger stuck in the neck of the living corpse, so he went forward and pulled it out, cutting its arm with force, but the bonfire was extinguished, and the lights were blinding, and nothing could be seen. , Chen Xing took a deep breath, turned on the heart lamp, and the bright white light shot straight out of his hand, illuminating the face of the living corpse—
-In an instant, the living corpse let out a roar, actually fearing the light of the heart lamp released by Chen Xing, raised his arm to cover it, his arm loosened, and instantly, Feng Qianjun broke free with a loud shout, and threw the living corpse over his shoulder, shoving it fiercely. On the rock!
Before Chen Xing could react, Feng Qianjun shouted, "Go back!"
The living corpse was smashed by Feng Qianjun with ten successes and hit the cliff. The brain burst from the impact, and it gave off a pungent stench. It hung down softly, and died the second time.
Chen Xing gasped and said, "Where did the monster come from?"
Chen Xing was about to go forward, Feng Qianjun couldn't help coughing, grabbed him and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go!"
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "I have to see clearly, this is the first time I have seen 魃, where did it come from?"
This is not the first time that Chen Xing has encountered a monster. The existence of 魃 has long been recorded in ancient books. It is said that the ancient corpse will not rot for many years after its death, and it will turn into a walking corpse. Just seeing something that moved would inevitably arouse his curiosity, but Feng Qianjun only felt that what happened in front of him was beyond his acceptable range, his eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't stop gasping for breath.
Suddenly, the dog started barking in the direction of the woods again.
"There are many more... Brother Xian, are you sure you want to study at this time?" Feng Qianjun said.
Chen Xing turned around and saw thirty or forty living corpses appearing in all directions on the hillside and under the hillside, either in good condition, or in tattered clothes. Come.
"No no, it's too much, let's talk about it next time." Chen Xing hurriedly changed his words.
"Then why don't you run?!" Feng Qianjun made a quick decision and took Chen Xing to run in the opposite direction.
Feng Qianjun walked very fast, and instantly pulled Chen Xing away by less than ten feet. Chen Xing turned around as he ran, and Feng Qianjun realized that this kid could not run without martial arts, and immediately turned around to save him. Only a living corpse blocked Chen Xing's path and threw at him.
Chen Xing didn't care to shout any more, he stood still for a moment, turned and ran to the edge of the cliff, Feng Qianjun chased back, Chen Xing ran to the front of the cliff, grabbed the dead vines on the mountain and climbed up, a living corpse had chased behind him, Feng Qianjun had no choice but to Rush over to save, Chen Xing climbed halfway, pulled hard, and the boulder pressing on the top of the dead vine suddenly rolled down!
"Be careful!" Feng Qianjun shouted.
When Chen Xing heard the reminder, he turned sideways and swung in a circle in the air.
The huge rock on the top of the mountain smashed down, first smashing the three living corpses chasing behind Chen Xing, and then rolling down the slope, knocking down all the living corpses, running over them, and falling down the second slope. , disappeared without a trace.
On the mountainside road, Feng Qianjun was surrounded by a circle of living corpses. He only had a dagger in his hand. He looked around. Chen Xing had escaped the danger and quickly got down. Feng Qianjun shouted: "Glow! They are afraid of light!"
Chen Xing immediately pressed his right hand on his left chest, but just before the heart lamp was released, another figure appeared at that moment, passing through the encirclement like a gust of wind, swishing several knives, the edge flashed, and the head of the ring flashed. The knife circled around, chopped the encircled corpse into two pieces, and then threw the knife to Feng Qianjun, which was the weapon Feng Qianjun had dropped on the hillside earlier.
"Thank you!" Feng Qianjun said.
The man showed his face, Chen Xing's heart froze, and he suddenly shouted: "Xiang Shu?! Is that you?"
The person who came was Xiang Shu. He was empty-handed. He took the lead and jumped over the bushes, leading the two of them to the front of the cliff.
Chen Xing suddenly remembered the fact that he had left the body a few days ago, and asked, "You told us to detour?"
Xiang Shu stopped under the cliff and glanced at Chen Xing: "Wait here, don't leave, and come out again at dawn."
As he turned around, he actually went back along the way he came.
"Where are you going?" Chen Xing shouted, just as he was about to catch up, he was caught by Feng Qianjun.
"What is that?" Feng Qianjun asked Chen Xing, "Clarify!"
Chen Xing said: "It's too complicated to explain... There must be something strange here!"
He explained to Feng Qianjun the legend that "a corpse does not rot for a long time, but turns into a scorpion". There is no record in the ancient books about the reason for the transformation of the scorpion. It is only known that there is a scorpion in the world, and the world will suffer from a severe drought. The drought in Shenzhou, large and small, has lasted for more than one hundred and sixty years. Longzhong is a treasure land of feng shui in the world. What does this mean
Why is the description here again
Chen Xing had to follow him to take a look no matter what, because he had Suixing's support, as long as he was careful, he should be fine. If he didn't follow, Xiang Shu might be even more dangerous.
