When they arrived at Zhenxi King's Territory due west, the checkpoints were arranged everywhere, which affected the four of them's itinerary to some extent. WWw. qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo. COm
On this day, the four of them came to a county town about a hundred miles away from Ziyun Town. After fighting, they were about to leave the county town and go to Ziyun Town. They discovered that a large checkpoint was set up in front of the official road, which blocked all comings. All the vehicles and horses coming and going were stuck on both sides.
The team of guards guarding this level are all experts at the sixth or seventh level of the True Martial Realm. The leader is responsible for guarding, and he is even more capable of the ninth level of the True Martial Arts Realm!
Such a character, in a subordinate country like Bashu, was actually sent here to guard the pass
The four of Qin Wushuang were intercepted outside the checkpoint. Two guards came up and shouted: "Where did you four come from?" Qin Wushuang replied calmly: "We are from the Western Chu Kingdom to collect medicinal materials. Guests." "Western Chu Kingdom?" A guard looked a little suspicious, "Our Bashu Kingdom has been under martial law recently, and it is even more difficult for foreign merchants to enter. Do you four have any entry and exit documents?" "Documents? We are along the way. Come here, I haven't heard of any access documents." Qin Wushuang knew from the other party's expression that he was bluffing them.
Zhou Fu was a little impatient and winked at Qin Wushuang. She obviously didn't want to get entangled with these little characters. They were envoys from the Xingluo Palace and were interrogated by several minions from the subordinate countries. Naturally, they found it very boring.
However, Qin Wushuang ignored Zhou Fu's look and said politely: "Brother, can you invite your commander to come over?" "It's no use trying to find us. To pass the checkpoint, you must have identity documents. "Your chief is here, so of course we have the credentials to show him." Qin Wushuang said calmly. When he said this, Qin Wushuang exerted some pressure, and his momentum shocked the man.
I couldn't help but take a few steps back and said, "Boss, there are a few guys here who won't show their IDs until they see you."
The strong man at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm stared at his eyes as big as copper bells and strode over: "Who is he
When they came over, they saw Qin Wushuang and the other four people, all riding on horses, with very indifferent expressions, as if they didn't take him, a ninth-level master of the True Martial Realm, seriously. He couldn't help but feel angry and shouted: "Where did you guys come from? You didn't dismount before the key point of the checkpoint?" If it weren't for the fact that Qin Wushuang and others seemed to have a certain sense of magnanimity, I would have cursed them a long time ago.
Qin Wushuang suddenly twisted his body, fell off the horse, and floated in front of the man. He suddenly handed something over in his hand, and said through spiritual power: "Look at this thing, there is no need to say anything."
The man muttered, took it, and took a closer look. His big copper-bell eyes almost burst out of their sockets. He was so frightened that he quickly covered the thing in his hand and took another cautious look. Daluo Kingdom’s military order! Even if he was blind, he would not fail to recognize what it was!
The legendary Daluo Kingdom’s military commander!
Looking up at Qin Wushuang in surprise, Yibo looked indifferent, and he took a deep breath knowing that the person in front of him had an extraordinary background. "Don't make any noise, don't be surprised, do as you should. Don't reveal our identities. We were ordered to investigate some things."
The leader felt relieved and felt a little ecstatic in his heart. He respectfully handed back the Daluo Kingdom's military order and cleared his throat: "Since the identity documents are complete, let's let you go silently. As you are serious businessmen, I will open a road for you and check in along the way. , as much as possible.
The leader finally reacted quickly and went to do it while talking. After a while, a road marked with the seal of the Zhenwu Holy Land of Bashu Kingdom was opened. Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly, looking at the seal of the Zhenwu Holy Land, knowing that in the major subordinate countries, the Zhenwu Holy Land was the absolute authority, just like the Xingluo Palace to the Great Luo Empire. With this road, it can be used everywhere.
Qin Wushuang took the road sign and asked in a low voice: "You are waiting for the checkpoints along the way. Why are you here?" The leader was surprised: "Don't you know, Your Majesty?" "We are just investigating some disappearance cases. , but I don’t know what happened in Bashu Kingdom?”
The muscles on the leader's face beat slightly, his lips trembled, and finally he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, something big happened in the Bashu Kingdom this time. If you go straight along the road and reach Ziyun Town, you will know what happened. As the saying goes, it's hard to explain in words, so I'd better go and see for yourself, Your Majesty." Seeing him like this, Qin Wushuang didn't need to be strong, and nodded immediately: "Okay, then let's go to Ziyun Town and have a look." He turned around and greeted Zhou Fu and others: " Let's go."
The checkpoints were cleared, and with the road signs in hand, I passed several checkpoints along the way easily. Moreover, when the leaders of the checkpoints along the way looked at the road signs, they inevitably looked at Qin Wushuang with some surprise. His expression There is clearly a deep reverence, even fear.
Qin Wushuang looked at the road, but there was nothing special about it. But looking at the expressions of these people, it is obvious that they know their identities, otherwise they would never have such weird expressions.
With all kinds of questions, Qin Wushuang and others finally came to the legendary Ziyun Town. At this time, Ziyun Town was not as prosperous and lively as the legend had it. On the contrary, along the street, everything was in a mess and dilapidated state, quite desolate.
"What's going on?" Zhou Fu asked in surprise, "Is this really Ziyun Town? Isn't it said that this is a thousand-year-old ancient town, comparable in size to a county town? Why does it look like it was raided by bandits, and the raiders were still... Not just once or twice!”
I kept walking along the street and passed several streets. They were all in a dilapidated scene, as if the people here had fled. The shops were all empty, let alone people, even a chicken and a dog. Not even a shadow was seen. "It's so evil." Even Lu Teng couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang's eyes stopped in the distance. About four or five miles away, a thick plume of smoke rose into the sky. It was obvious that there was a burning fire to cause such thick smoke. "There is someone there, let's go over and take a look at the spoon." Qin Wushuang urged his horse and ran towards that place.
When I ran closer, I saw a blazing fire in the wilderness in the distance, with flames reaching into the sky and thick smoke billowing out. And around the fire, there were piles of people and dozens of dead people!
The shapes of these dead people were all horrific and different. They were either full-body ulcers, or had blisters all over their bodies, or were missing arms and legs, or were simply disembowelled, and even their facial features seemed to have been sucked away by something...
Zhou Fu looked at her from a distance, and even though she was as powerful as the innate spirit warrior, she couldn't help but feel a little creepy. As for those who burned the corpses, although they were all strictly trained warriors, some people kept running away and vomiting as they burned, as if their internal organs were about to be vomited out.
And those who persisted all had expressions of grief and anger, and their whole bodies could not help but tremble, obviously overwhelmed by this sad scene. Qin Wushuang and the other four were about to pat their horses and approach, but were stopped by a group of warriors wearing Zhenwu Holy Land uniforms, who shouted: "Everyone waiting here, don't get close. There is danger ahead!"
Qin Wushuang couldn't help but ask: "You guys, what's going on in Ziyun Town? Why are there so many corpses?" "Go away, go away, don't want to be contaminated by evil spirits and bad luck, retreat quickly, go back and forth wherever you go. This place is not accessible to ordinary people." The warriors also began to drive away.
With so many people dead, there must be filth and evil, or even a plague. Naturally, they must keep outsiders out, otherwise they will be infected with evil spirits and go out, bringing out the plague and spreading the infection, and the problem will become big.
"Who is in charge here?" Qin Wushuang frowned slightly. "The person in charge? The person in charge is - Ba Liming, the second protector of the Bashu Kingdom, the Martial Saint.
"Where is Ba Liming at this moment?" Qin Wushuang had dealt with the two martial saints from the Bashu Kingdom. The scene when he intercepted them along the way and persuaded them to return to the Bashu Kingdom had not been long gone. Now that the Second Martial Saint Baliming is here, it will be easier to talk. Unexpectedly, when the warrior heard Qin Wushuang calling Huang Sheng by his name, he couldn't help but became furious: "Where did this madman come from? Master Wu Bei's name is taboo, how could you call it arbitrarily?" Qin Wushuang frowned and asked: "His name is Ba Liming, what do you think? Can't you call me? Is he here? Ask him to come out quickly and say that an old friend is visiting."
The warrior heard what Qin Wushuang said and looked at Qin Wushuang carefully, a little suspicious, but seeing Qin Wushuang's demeanor, he did not dare to be presumptuous anymore.
He replied: "Lord Wusheng took two venerables to investigate in Bifu Mountain. We have been there for three days. He ordered us to find the tens of thousands of dead bodies in Ziyun Town and burn them in open areas. The bones also need to be dug up. It is buried deep in the ground. Therefore, barriers were set up to prevent passers-by from passing through. How could you get here? Were there no obstacles along the way?"
Qin Wushuang said lightly: "If you can come here, you have a reason to come here. When Ba Liming comes back, it will be easier to talk. How come there are so many corpses in Ziyun Town?"
The warrior looked miserable and said sadly: "Who knows? In just three days, tens of thousands of natives in Ziyun Town were all killed violently, and all their property and other things were moved away. Fortunately, during the New Year, if it is normal, There are also merchants coming and going, so I'm afraid the number of casualties will increase by 60 to 70%.
Just as he was talking, a faint cry suddenly came from afar. A disheveled warrior ran from afar like crazy. As he ran, he shouted: "Master Martial Saint... Master Martial Saint is dead!"
The warrior was holding a person in his hand. To be precise, he should be holding a broken body. Because this man's body looked like it had been chewed by some monster, and his appearance was indescribably cruel.
This mutilated body was wearing the clothes of a martial saint. From the appearance, Qin Wushuang could vaguely tell that this mutilated body really belonged to the second martial saint of the Bashu Kingdom. It was short and powerful, and Qin Wushuang was deeply impressed.
The majestic martial sage who protects the country, an innately strong man, actually died in this Bifu Mountain? And the death was so tragic? A trace of doubt arose in Qin Wushuang's mind.
