There is a sword.
Someone handed it over.
A stubby little wooden sword, sharpened for a three-year-old child to play with.
The child cried out: "My sword! My sword! Return my sword!"
Lin Shu was stunned by his tinnitus, so he didn't pick up the sword after all. He broke a branch from the dead jujube tree in the courtyard, held it in his hand, and let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little more comfortable.
He has a lesson from his teacher, he would rather die with a sword than live without a sword. For more than ten years, it has been carved into his bones. Now that his cultivation base is completely lost, although holding a sword has no practical use, the sword in his hand can after all ease the discomfort caused by the Wuyangyang crowd.
Lin Shu crossed the crowd and walked towards the edge of the village. The closer you get, the thicker the fog will be.
Across a layer of barrier, he suddenly met a tattered corpse not far away with a rotting and pus-like face.
That thing was still alive, it roared, half-jumped, jumped like a monkey, and was blocked by the barrier. Lin Shu took a few steps back and watched it slam into it frantically, its claws piercing the barrier. , and then popped out again, it can be seen that this enchantment is not very reliable.
Half-rotted, with all four limbs on the ground, and swift in action, as recorded in "Jiu Shao Yizhi", it is said to be a crawling corpse. It is a low-level evil, afraid of light, wind, and fire. The villagers obviously know some of its habits and have taken torches to drive it away.
However, under the shadows, in the dense forest, a rustling movement gradually sounded, and after a while, dozens of people had gathered. According to the villagers, these evil creatures have been wandering outside the enchantment, and there are thousands of them.
Lin Shu looked at the crawling corpse that had been driven away from the barrier. He could see clearly that the barrier was extremely weak, and I'm afraid it wouldn't last for half a month. If there was no way to escape, he would be trapped in the village. .
But his cultivation will not be able to come back for a while, or, in other words, whether he will be able to come back in this life is unknown, the little fool is also quite weak, and he is probably malnourished all the year round, and he will panic when he takes two steps-unless he reshapes his roots. Bone, forcibly opening up the eight extraordinary meridians, can barely cross the threshold of cultivating immortals.
The villagers looked at him in silence, all drumming in their hearts, and no one dared to take a step forward.
Half an hour later, Lin Shu finally said, "Do you have a piano?"
They want a sword and a piano, but in a remote village, how can there be such a thing.
Seeing them looking at each other, Lin Shu thought about it for a while, and then said slowly, "Anyone who can make a sound... is fine."
This time there is.
A few young guys ran to the east of the village, and after a while, they brought an old man with an erhu.
This old man suffers from eye disease and is blind in both eyes. He was originally Mr. Zhou, the storyteller of a teahouse in the city of Minzhou. Ten years ago, he went out of the city and returned to his hometown to visit relatives. Who would have guessed that this disaster happened, and he was trapped in the village and could never get out again. .
After listening to others describe the cause and effect, Mr. Zhou shook hands and said, "Young Hero, as long as you can take us to Minzhou City to avoid disaster, let this old bone of me do anything."
That being said, but what can an old man who is dying like this do? The villagers did not understand.
Lin Shu didn't want the old man with half his foot in the coffin to do any physical work, but wanted him to play the violin.
To learn swordsmanship, you must first nurture your heart. His teacher has a tradition of learning the piano and purifying his heart, so he knew a few songs that could eliminate evil and eliminate evil.
However, the level of Lin Shu's speech is really not flattering. There are a lot of incompatibilities between Guqin and Erhu's scores, and communication is very difficult. .
That night, the aunt's two young sons, Li Jimao and Li Yamao, held torches to open the way. Lin Shu and Mr. Zhou came to the edge of the barrier again, followed by a few strong villagers.
In the thick fog, phosphorous fire rose from the ground, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at them again.
Mr. Zhou picked up the bow and pulled it up.
The villagers exclaimed: "Really gone!"
I saw the tree trembling for a while, and a few corpses climbed away one after another. After the song was pulled a few times, they walked halfway.
The sound of the song is indeed effective, but the qin player is only a mortal body, there is no mana in the sound of the song, and the deterrence of evil things is still limited.
Lin Shu thought silently about how to make the voice of the song more powerful.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Zhou stopped for a moment.
"There is movement outside," he said.
The blind man's ears always need to be a little brighter.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, a voice gradually came. At first, there was a sharp collision, mixed with a woman's scolding, and then there were footsteps and voices.
I vaguely heard a woman's voice: "There was still a voice just now, why did it stop?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and continued to pull up. Li Jimao and Li Yamao also realized that an outsider had come nearby, and happily waved the torches.
The woman's voice seemed to be greeting her companion: "This way!"
After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer, and Li Jimao also shouted: "Here! Here!"
Only listening to the sound of the wind brought by the weapons and the collision of the flesh, the remaining dozens of living corpses also fled. Stop the living.
Lin Shu looked up and saw that the visitors were seven or eight girls with sabres in neat bunts, tall and straight, and quite heroic.
The one in the lead put the sword back into its sheath and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Jimao said honestly, "It's from the village."
Li Yamao flattered: "Sister Fairy, are you here to save us?"
She gave a "bah" and pointed the knife at Li Yamao's neck: "What a shameless stinky man! Are you a human or a ghost?"
Just shouting "sister" turned into a shameless girl. This girl was beautiful, but she didn't expect to be so vicious, which startled Li Yamao.
"It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost," he said. "Woman, we are humans."
"Nonsense, how can there be mortals here?"
She glanced at the few people behind her, her fingers pressed on the scabbard, and they all looked very alert.
Li Jimao said: "Woman, we have been trapped for ten years. If you don't save us, we will really become ghosts."
The girl at the head stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and observed Li Yamao who was shivering beside him. He had probably never seen such a cowardly ghost before, and finally put down his guard a little.
"It's true that there is no such living ghost. It's because we are abrupt. It's embarrassing that you can stay here for ten years," she asked. "We came in to find someone. Within three days, has anyone been here?"
"This..." Li Jimao said, "Woman, we haven't seen outsiders for ten years."
He looks simple and honest, and his tone is sincere. He definitely does not seem to be lying. As soon as he said this, the girls behind the knife-wielding girl suddenly became anxious: "Neither here nor there, where did the eldest miss go? "
The girl also had a worried look on her face, but she managed to maintain her composure and asked, "Ten years ago, what happened here?"
Li Yamao: "Ten years ago, I didn't know why, just, it was all those things..."
The villagers next to them also responded. Your words and my words are not much different from what you told Lin Shu before. They all said that a disaster occurred overnight, and an immortal rescued them. Since then, the village has been isolated from the world. No one ever went out.
Li Jimao said cautiously: "The heroine possesses unique skills and is not afraid of those things. Can you take us to Minzhou City?"
- At this time, no one paid attention to Lin Shu, and these girls in front of him became the new saviors.
"Minzhou City?" She shook her head and said, "It has been ten years since no one has been to Minzhou City! As long as you step 30 miles outside of Minzhou City, there will be no return!"
Everyone was stunned.
They thought that it was only their village that suffered the disaster, and the city must be fine, but after hearing this, they realized that the situation in Minzhou City was probably 10,000 times worse than outside the village.
When these girls finally calmed down and talked to the villagers again, everyone finally knew the cause and effect.
The stubborn girl at the head was named Ling Baoqing, from a "Phoenix Villa". They traveled to the vicinity of Minzhou with the eldest lady. They heard that Minzhou City had become a ghost town with no vitality in the past ten years. Explore.
And when it comes to Minzhou City, another thing comes up.
Referring to this matter, Ling Baoqing began to brag about the beauty of his eldest young lady, almost making her an unparalleled beauty.
On the rivers and lakes, as long as there is beauty, there will always be many admirers, of course Miss. But the eldest miss has a marriage contract since she was a child. Therefore, in addition to being more beautiful than other beauties, the eldest lady has other special features.
- And the eldest miss's fiancé is a native of Minzhou City. In the past ten years, neither he nor his master have been heard from, which coincides with the time when Minzhou City became a ghost town.
This time, the eldest lady has even more reason to visit Minzhou City. To be a widow or not to be a widow is a big thing after all.
They entered and stepped into the realm of the ghost town. On the way, they encountered countless living corpses, evil ghosts, and zombies.
"Miss originally said that what happened in the city must not be easy. Later, we met a corpse king with an extremely high cultivation level. After a fight, we were all injured. Miss asked us to stay where we were. , she went to lure the corpse king away, but she didn't come back day and night, so we had to search everywhere."
- In the thick fog, I can't see my five fingers, even if I light the torch, I can't tell the direction.
Speaking of which, a girl suddenly cried out.
"Hateful!" She stomped her feet, "I am afraid that there is no one to live in Minzhou City. Have pity on our eldest young lady. At a young age, we have to watch over the widow!"
Another girl said: "Don't say that the eldest miss is a widow, I just hope she is safe now!"
"Shut up!" Ling Baoqing said, "The eldest lady has won the world in martial arts, and she must be unscathed. Now you should think about how to meet with the eldest lady."
These fourteen- and fifteen-year-old girls walked all night in the barren mountains and forests. They were worried that the eldest young lady would be a widow, but also feared that the eldest young lady would be injured, and that they would be separated from the eldest young lady.
The author has something to say: Watch the door widow: the man dies first before crossing the door.
