The southwest of Tianshuiyuan has been a dead place since ancient times, no one dared to enter, all beasts disappeared, and birds did not come.
Beiyan's army of several hundred soldiers held torches and walked among the half-human-high weeds. From time to time, you can see faint blue light spots jumping in the grass in the distance. It is scary to watch, but you can't show your cowardice in front of your companions. Therefore, from generals to sergeants, you can only bite the bullet and walk. go down.
When the sergeant who led the way came to a place where the grass was taller than one person, he stopped walking and turned back to the general: "I can't go any more."
The general sat on the horse and looked around. Not to mention people, there was not even a shadow of a ghost. The grass around him was so dense, but he couldn't hear a single insect chirping.
A soldier took a few steps forward and put the torch in his hand into the grass to illuminate it. He stretched his neck and looked inside.
"Look carefully," ordered the general. "See if anyone is hiding inside."
The soldier did not dare to look any further. After a few glances, he turned to the general and said, "There is nothing inside."
"Go back," the general said, this place always made him feel gloomy.
The soldier wanted to turn around, but he didn't want to slip. The others only heard him cry, and the soldier slid into the grass.
"Bring him up," the general said hurriedly.
Several soldiers walked up and stretched out their hands to pull their companions. They reached in, but they all screamed and retracted their hands.
"What's the matter?" The general dismounted and walked over to see it in person.
Under the torches, several people's hands were red and swollen at a considerable speed to the naked eye. When the itch was unbearable, several people grabbed it with their hands, and when they grabbed it, they all screamed again and again. People saw the flesh on these people's hands, and they were grabbed in pieces by themselves.
"Tie their hands!" the general ordered loudly.
A few smart soldiers over there used their spears to stab in the grass for a while, and they really hooked up their fallen companions. The man had stopped moving, his clothes were wet, and he looked like a dead man.
Before the general could get to this subordinate, he saw that several of the subordinates around him were all backing away, and some people even vomited on the spot. The general didn't know why, and when he walked up to him, he saw that the generals who had killed countless people couldn't help but feel sick. The soldier was already dead, and after just a short while, there were leeches all over his body, reddened and bulging, even in his eyes. The general moved faster than he thought, raised his foot and kicked the corpse into the grass.
The sergeant who led the way walked up to the general and said, "General, let's hurry back."
The general took a torch from a soldier's hand and examined it himself. The light of the fire shone under the grass, and after a careful look, the general found that there was water below. In the turbid black water, all the places where the light of the torch touched were all entangled with insects, including snakes, leeches, and others. Toad, and some generals can't even name them.
"Is that a mosquito?" A sergeant shouted again.
The general straightened up, followed the soldier's line of sight, and looked up at the top of his head. He saw wisps of pale black smoke on top of his head, moving from left to right, up and down.
"General, come back," the sergeant who led the way begged his own general.
A cloud of smoke approached the general, and the general saw clearly that it was really a cloud of smoke gathered by little black mosquitoes. A dignified general was frightened by these little mosquitoes and retreated several steps.
"These mosquitoes are poisonous," the sergeant babbled, still behind the general.
"There's a big spider here!" cried another soldier who found something horrible.
"Shut up!" The general was angry at his timidity at the moment, but he still flew on his horse, and his opponents said: "Let's go back, Luo Wei can't get out of here alive."
In the swamp not far from General Beiyan, Luo Wei and his party were struggling on foot.
"Step on once your feet are firm!" Imperial Doctor Wei, who was leading the way, turned his head from time to time and told Luo Wei and the others behind him.
As soon as Rowe and the others entered the swamp, they fell down without taking a few steps. The horses were covered with insects of various sizes and sizes, and before Rowe and a few of them stood up from the knee-less muddy water, only a skeleton was left of these fine war horses.
Long Shishi couldn't help but vomited.
"Don't vomit!" Imperial Physician Wei pulled Long Shishi back, patted Long Shishi's back, and said, "You have medicine in your mouth, if you spit it out, your life will be over!"
Luo Wei and Wei Lan stood together, supporting each other. "I'm fine," Luo Wei said to Wei Lan. He had seen the most disgusting things, but these things in front of him couldn't irritate Luo Wei.
Wei Lan first tried to shoot off the disgusting bug that climbed onto Luo Wei's body, but Wei Lan gave up soon after. No matter how many of these bugs you shoot, in the blink of an eye, new bugs will climb up. If you can't shoot them off or drive them away, you can only let them go.
"We can't stop here," Imperial Doctor Wei calmed Long Shishi down and said, "Go forward."
Luo Wei supported Wei Lan and asked, "Can you still walk with your legs?"
"Young Master," Imperial Physician Wei said to Luo Wei again, "I think Wei Lan can walk better than you, so don't worry about him."
"Isn't his knee still swollen?" Long Shi said from behind.
"That's better than our third son!" Imperial Physician Wei walked to the front and led the way.
"Does he look down on me?" Luo Wei asked Wei Lan in a low voice.
"Young master can't leave, Wei Lan can carry you," Wei Lan wouldn't say a bad word to Imperial Physician Wei now, but only said to Luo Wei.
"Let's go!" Before Luo Wei could speak, Imperial Physician Wei was already probing the road with a long branch in front of him, and said, "Don't look at each other, to avoid nausea."
Standing on the edge of the swamp just now, if Luo Wei hadn't entered the swamp first, more than a dozen Long would rather go to the death battle with the Beiyan pursuers behind, rather than walk down. There were miasma-repelling pills in their mouths. The collars, cuffs, and trouser legs of several people were fastened with cloth tapes. They wore as many clothes as they could, and their heads were also wrapped, leaving only two eyes outside.
"What kind of ghost is that?" After walking for a while, Long Shi pointed to the object not far away, and asked, "Is that a ghost?"
"No," Imperial Physician Wei said with no surprise, "there may be dead people there. It's the phosphorus fire that came out of the bones of the dead. I've been a doctor for so many years, and I've never seen a ghost in this world."
"Young Master," Long Shishi asked Luo Wei who was walking behind him, "Is there no ghosts in this world?"
"Don't scare yourself," Luo Wei felt that he was stepping on something slippery and greasy with every step he took. The more he walked, the heavier his footsteps became, but he still spoke to comfort the youngest of the five dragon cavalry guards. Long Shishi said: "What ghosts are living people afraid of? You are a man with a lot of yang energy on your body, so ghosts dare not approach you."
"Young master said so," Wei Taiyi laughed at the front and said, "Fourteen, people will become ghosts when they die. What ghosts are you afraid of?"
"Something is pulling my feet!" Long Shishi shouted.
Luo Wei, who was walking behind Long Shi Shi, watched Long Shi Shi's body lean to the side, reached out his hand with Wei Lan at the same time, and grabbed Long Shi Shi, but was led down by Long Shi Shi.
"Fourteen, don't move!" Imperial Doctor Wei shouted when Long Shishi was sinking.
In a panic, Long Shishi couldn't listen to Imperial Doctor Wei's words.
"Don't move!" Luo Wei was already lying on his back in the muddy water by Long Shirao, and he shouted at Long Shishi.
"Young Master!" Wei Lan saw that Luo Wei was about to be pulled into the vortex by Long Shishi, and became more anxious, but did not dare to let go of the hand that was holding Long Shishi, and stretched out a free hand. , want to pull Rowe, but can't reach Rowe.
Long Shiyi and Long Shisan ran up and grabbed Luo Wei and Wei Lan respectively.
Long Shi saw that Long Shi was still struggling, and threw a stone on Long Shi's head, knocking him unconscious.
"Slowly pull," Wei Taiyi instructed, his heart was beating so fast, but he had to hold on to not panic.
After Long Shishi was pulled out of the swamp vortex by Luo Wei and a few people, Luo Wei lay in the quagmire for a long time and couldn't get up.
"We have to go," Imperial Physician Wei was also in a cold sweat, but he urged a few people, "I can't stay here for long!"
