These corpses were killed by three people, the warriors of Guiji Sect.
Suddenly, the wind and sand blew, and one of the corpses stood up staggeringly.
He was originally killed by Du Yuejiao, with a sword in his chest. The sword was sharp, but there was not much blood on his chest.
He died very quickly, almost killed by a single sword strike.
At this moment, the corpse looked at the darkness around it, suddenly fell to its knees, gasping for breath.
The blood had stopped flowing, and his shriveled lungs were forced to expand and contract with his breathing. The air inhaled into them had no effect and was expelled with his exhalation.
He made a hoarse and unpleasant hissing sound and wanted to speak, but it seemed as if he had long forgotten how to make a sound.
He groped, staggered, and groped his way outside.
After a while, accompanied by the sound of strong wind, a group of people flew over through the air.
Torches were lit, flames flickered, Li Ximing, Gui Xiaoren and their men landed beside the corpses.
They were unable to find Shi Hao and Yueyaer, so they thought of surrounding Lan Ke Taoist and the other three, perhaps they could capture them and exchange them for Yueyaer.
However, the situation at the bottom of Flame Rock was so complicated that they and Lan Ke Taoist and the other three had already missed each other.
They looked at the bodies on the ground. After a while, someone whispered, "Ding Qi's body is missing?!"
Shi Hao suddenly stopped while flying.
He held Yueyaer in his arms and climbed to a high place, hiding himself in the darkness, and listened attentively.
At the entrance of this section of the cave, there was a tiny beam of light slowly approaching this side, scanning back and forth.
There were three figures swaying behind the beam of light.
Shi Hao breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Yueyaer and jumped over.
The beam of light quickly moved upwards and landed on his face. After a while, it moved downwards and landed on Yueyaer's face.
Yueyaer hooked one hand around her neck and raised the other hand to cover her eyes. She had not yet seen clearly who these three people were.
"Why is she here?" a rather cold voice sounded.
"Sister Yuejiao?" Yueyaer recognized the voice at once.
He hurriedly struggled out of Shi Hao's arms.
"I saw those people from Guiji Sect chasing her, so I rescued her along the way!" Shi Hao explained.
Du Yuejiao snorted: "Is it just such a coincidence?"
The light emitted from the jade tube containing Ye Xin grass in Xu Xiaoyan's hand shone on Yueyaer's face, then on Yueyaer's chest, and then made a circle to shine on Yueyaer's back.
Crescent Moon doesn't know what she is doing by looking at herself in the light.
Taoist Lan Ke asked, "You came from the front, but have you obtained the Nine-Earth Jade Peach?"
Shi Hao said: "I have obtained them. All three are here!" He patted the jade box in his arms: "But the Nine Earth Jade Peach Tree is destroyed. Also, did you see anything flying out from here just now?"
Lan Ke Taoist said: "I did feel something flying by, it was eerie, but I didn't know what it was."
Xu Xiaoyan moved the beam of light in her hand away from Yueyaer and shone it on the side, sweeping back and forth: "Is there really a ghost?"
Chapter 330 The Man Escaped from the Netherworld
Shi Hao whispered, "I'm not sure, it seems like something was released by this girl." He raised his hand and pressed down Yueyaer's head.
Yueya lowered her head and muttered, "Who knew something like this would happen?"
Du Yuejiao bit her lip... When did you two become so intimate
Shi Hao said: "Let's chase them out and see, but be careful not to run into those guys from the Guiji Sect."
They chased all the way out, and after going around in circles for a long time, they finally arrived outside Tenglong Cave.
When we arrived outside Tenglong Cave, we found that a night had passed and it was now around 9:00 in the morning.
There are steep cliffs on the west, and beyond that is the Bashan Mountains. If one has the means to cross the mountains and ridges, it will take less than a few dozen miles to reach the Wuzhai, one of the nine villages in the Bashan Mountains. But if one does not have such means, there is actually no way to get there.
The terrain on the east is relatively flat. Although there are still some undulating mountains, it is much better.
At this moment, the fog dissipated, the sun shone, there were trees everywhere, and the strange thing that ran out from the ground could not be found.
They made a circle and hid on a mountainside, where they saw a group of warriors patrolling and searching at the foot of the mountain.
It was the group of Li Ximing and Gui Xiaoren.
Yueyaer whispered, "They are guarding the cave entrance I entered through."
There are several entrances to Tenglong Cave, and Li Ximing and others could not find them inside, so they waited for them at the entrance where Yueyaer entered. However, Yueyaer followed them out of another entrance, so their efforts were in vain.
Shi Hao thought, you just wait and see, it seems like you are destined to go to Dongting Lake and become my subordinates.
Together with Lan Ke Zhenren, Du Yuejiao, Xu Xiaoyan and Yueyaer, he left quietly.
Walking on the road, Yueyaer was carrying the empty black pearl wrapped in cloth on her back, feeling uneasy: "We released
What on earth is this thing? It won't cause any disaster, right
Xu Xiaoyan said with a grin, "There are already enough disasters, one or two more won't make a difference."
Du Yuejiao looked at Yueyaer: "Where are you going next?"
Yueyaer thought for a moment, turned her face away, and asked them, "Where are you going?"
Du Yuejiao continued to ask: "First, tell me clearly, where are you going?"
Yueyaer giggled and said, "I'm just asking... where are you going?"
Xu Xiaoyan squinted at Shi Hao... You evildoer!
Yueyaer said aggrievedly, "Don't look at me like that. All the warriors who protected me were killed by the Guiji Sect. I don't know if there are other assassins on the road. You won't leave me alone in the wilderness, right?"
Du Yuejiao said: "Anyway, you are the daughter of the Yue Ketai family. If we send you to the government office in the county town, they will naturally protect you."
Yueyaer sighed, "If you send me there like this, I will most likely be dead. During this period, I helped my brother catch corrupt officials, kill evil gentry, rectify officials, and force those corrupt officials to give up the land they occupied and release the grain they hoarded. I don't know how many people I have offended.
"The factions in the court are too chaotic. I don't know which faction the government office here belongs to. And this time, I don't have such a big grudge against Guiji Sect. Why did they come to kill me? It's obviously Zong Hai Minghui's doing. Most likely, there is a deal between Zong Hai's family and Guiji Sect behind it.
"I have no one to protect me. They have countless ways to make me die in obscure ways."
Du Yuejiao had a blank expression on her face: "This is the business of your four great families, what does it have to do with us?"
Yueyaer hugged her arm and said, "Sister Yuejiao, how about you name a price, I'll hire you, and you can send me to Luojing?"
Du Yuejiao snorted and said, "No time!"
Shi Hao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we also happen to be heading north."
Du Yuejiao bit her lip and turned to look at her lover... Do you really want to give it to her
Shi Hao said, "I want to go to Guanzhong to get a magic weapon, but the area around Han River is the territory of Danyang Society. The 'Tiger Swordsman' Xiong Wanghu of Danyang Society is actually a member of Dukui Sect. 'Hidden Dragon' Shi Chongyun is a great enemy who ruined the Dukui Sect's plans. I don't want to fall into their trap.
"If we don't go through Hannan, we have to go north from Dengzhou and arrive at Luojing. Then we can start from Luojing and take the water route to Hanzhong."
It is also time to take the magic weapon forged from the top-grade divine crystal "Thunder Lord".
Du Yuejiao pursed her lips, her face as cold as frosty, and said nothing.
They continued walking. Xu Xiaoyan quickened her pace and walked beside Yueyaer, grinning, "Six thousand taels!"
Yueyaer asked, "What?"
Xu Xiaoyan said: "We have four people here, each of us has 1,500 taels. You pay 6,000 taels and we will be your bodyguards."
Yueyaer shouted, "So expensive?"
Xu Xiaoyan laughed and said, "You are worth a lot of gold. We didn't take a thousand taels of gold from you, that would be a loss. It's only six thousand taels. Your Yue Ketai family can afford it."
Crescent Moon muttered, "Robbery?"
Xu Xiaoyan turned her head and said, "If you don't want to, forget it!" She turned to look at Shi Hao and said, "If we want to avoid the Danyang Association and not go through the Han River, we can actually go south first, then enter the Bashan Mountains from the Three Gorges, and then..."
Yueyaer quickly pulled her aside: "I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"
—
The man was wrapped in a robe, with his arms hunched, walking in the biting cold mountains.
The blood stopped flowing and the sunlight shone on his body, making him a little warmer, but this warmth was soon taken away by the cold wind.
He walked aimlessly for who knew how long he had been walking, until he mixed up with a group of refugees and followed these ragged refugees around.
From time to time, barbarian soldiers would charge in on horseback, dispersing groups of refugees and preventing them from gathering in large numbers.
The whip hit him and knocked him to the ground. He rolled in the dust and then stood up staggeringly.
There were cries and shouts all around, blood was splashing, and the barbarians were riding on their horses, laughing loudly and enjoying themselves.
He stumbled along, and the number of people around him became fewer and fewer. After more than a day, the number of people gradually increased again.
There came a man in brocade clothes, with a group of slaves. They were carrying a cart full of steamed buns, and were walking among the refugees. After a while, some girls who were attractive were loaded onto the cart and were taken away crying.
The man sat under a dead tree, huddled up.
Next to him, there was a white-haired old woman hugging a girl.
Some people also came to see the girl, but the old woman held the girl tightly and refused to let anyone take her away.
However, those people were not interested in this girl. She had a cleft lip, so it was destined that no one would be interested in her.
After sitting for a long time, the man fell under the tree. He felt his body gradually becoming stiff.
Until someone pushed him.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the person pushing him was the girl with cleft lip.
The girl gave him some water.
He sat up unsteadily.
He dug the soil and the tree roots underground, stuffed them into his mouth piece by piece, and chewed hard.
The girl looked at him in surprise.
The man realized that he had to eat something... even with this body.
Yin energy slid out of his lungs, chewing up the tree roots he had swallowed and absorbing them, leaving no residue at all.
He, the old woman and the girl continued to follow the team.
Sometimes, they would wait outside the city gate for kind people to come and provide disaster relief.
Sometimes, they would rush into the village, and amid the cries and shouts of the villagers, they would break in, rummage through boxes and drawers, and find everything they could eat, and then the villagers would be forced to join them.
The old woman was always nagging about how the girl's father was captured by soldiers, and how the girl's mother gave the last bit of food in the house to her and the girl, and she herself starved to death in bed.
Sometimes she would cry and complain that she was the most miserable person in the world.
But no one listened to her... because everyone was the same.
That morning, frost fell.
The old woman never woke up again.
When she died, she was still holding the girl tightly, trying to give her warmth.
The girl is still young, but she is already very sensible.
Because she had seen so much, she was exhausted at the moment... They had hardly found any food in the past two or three days.
The cold winter has arrived, and even the tree bark along the way has been eaten by people who passed by here first.
She held her grandmother's body and cried, saying she wanted to stay with her.
She knew she wouldn't live long, and she wanted to die with her grandmother.
She said that life was already so hard that it didn't matter even if she died.
After death, I can see my father, my mother, and my younger brother who died at birth, and I can continue to be with my grandmother.
After death, you no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold.
The man picked her up and dragged her away from the old woman's body.
The girl clung to the old woman's arm, crying and shouting... She wanted to be with her grandmother.
The man fell to his knees, hugged her, and made a hoarse sound.
