Hearing this, Yu Zhengzheng didn't know whether to spit out the honey-glazed chicken wing in her mouth or eat it.
She has already eaten several pieces of meat. If it is true as Immortal Lord Hengwu said, then wouldn't she have to stay in this hellhole for the rest of her life
Yu Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the chicken in her mouth.
Anyway, we won’t leave or not. She has already eaten, so let’s wait until she is full.
Unlike her carefree appearance, the others had stiff faces, motionless like ancient stone sculptures. Only the fingers holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, as if to prove that they were still alive.
He looked at Yu Zhengzheng, who was as steady as an old dog, and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.
She really was not afraid at all. She usually looked like a coward, but today she was quite brave.
Thinking of this, the scene where she reached out and pressed his arm in front of everyone in order to stop him from drinking emerged in front of his eyes.
No, she is usually very brave, but she is too flexible and good at disguising herself, which makes people think she is a coward.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he chuckled lazily.
Immortal Hengwu narrowed his eyes, which were covered with white silk, and said with a half-smile: "You really are worthy of being the Ghost King. You remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you."
Rong Shang raised his eyes lazily and glanced at him nonchalantly: "Whether Mount Tai collapses or not is not up to the Immortal Lord to decide."
Immortal Heng Wu was stunned, not quite understanding what was said.
He thought he had made it very clear. As long as one was contaminated by food from Taohua Village, even if it was just a fruit from a roadside tree, one would be trapped in this first layer of illusion forever.
The Ghost King is not afraid at all
It was not until the next moment, when Rong Shang slowly took out a silk handkerchief, placed it in his palm and tapped his chin, that Heng Wu Xianjun understood what Rong Shang meant.
But he understood it too late. His face looked as if he was being fed pig feed. One hand was pinching his chin through a silk handkerchief, and the other hand was holding chopsticks to stuff food into his throat.
If it comes to a contest of brute force, even ten Hengwu Immortal Lords would not be a match for Rong Shang.
He was like a pitiful, helpless and weak little chick, and even his struggle seemed so powerless.
Seeing that he had almost finished feeding, Rong Shang slowly loosened his hand, took out a brand new silk handkerchief, and carefully wiped his thin and slender fingers.
It was as if he had just touched something dirty, and he wiped it very carefully, even leaving out the edges and corners of the nails.
Immortal Lord Heng Wu hugged the table and vomited so vigorously that he almost vomited out his appendix. There was no trace of his previous cheerful look.
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
She silently put down the half-bitten chicken leg in her hand.
Immortal Lord Heng Wu thought too much of the Ghost King as he was a gentleman. The Ghost King was always vindictive. If he had told the truth later, his fate would not have been so tragic.
He narrowed his eyes and gently stroked the Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist with his fingertips, as if he was considering whether to save the life of Immortal Lord Hengwu.
Immortal Lord Hengwu has too many evil thoughts in his mind, and it seems that he is difficult to control.
While he was thinking, the villagers who were picking up food with chopsticks not far away suddenly became like balls filled with blood. With a 'bang' sound in their heads, they exploded into fountains of gushing blood.
Yu Zhengzheng froze. This scene was very familiar. It was a bit like the scene where her companion shot a zombie in the head.
She didn't know whether those people were in pain or not, but she felt that it was quite painful just by looking at them.
Strands of golden light penetrated the clouds and hit the open grassland. More and more people were exploded into a pool of blood, and the stunned crowd also reacted.
Before Rong Shang could speak, Xiang Feng had already grabbed the collar of Heng Wu Xianjun and asked coldly, "What on earth is going on?"
Immortal Hengwu's face was pale. He ignored Xiang Feng's cruelty and rinsed his mouth with clean water. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief before he spoke slowly and carefully, "Didn't I tell you everything?"
"Anyone who has eaten the food from Taohua Village will remain in the first level of illusion forever."
Hearing this, Yu Zhengzheng was stunned. It turned out that what Immortal Lord Hengwu meant by "staying" was this way of staying.
The head is blown off, but it is left behind, right
Yu Zhengzheng felt that Hengwu Immortal Lord was unreliable, and she no longer expected to get the truth from him. She had eaten the most just now, and if she couldn't think of a solution, she would be the first one to have her head exploded.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. She forced herself to calm down and looked at the bloody grass.
Hearing the screams of Yu Jiangjiang and An Ning one after another, Yu Zhengzheng couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had lived in the end times.
She had long been accustomed to dealing with such bloody scenes, and looking at those headless bodies, she felt numb in her heart.
Yu Zhengzheng observed carefully and found that the villagers' heads did not explode at the same time, and there seemed to be no pattern to it.
They were both standing next to the peach tree. One villager was still tasting the food while the other had already fallen in a pool of blood.
No, that's not right.
There must be a pattern to this!
Her breathing was a little heavy and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back. The urgency of time made her nerves tense, and her palms were filled with sticky and wet touch.
It seemed as if the answer was right on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.
Not far away, someone exploded into a bloody mess, and the blood splattered towards her. She subconsciously took a step back, and her eyes inadvertently swept across Xiang Feng who was gritting his teeth.
Yu Zhengzheng’s eyes lit up. Yes, it was the sunshine!
Also standing next to the peach tree, the villager hiding in the shadow was safe and sound, while the other villager who was exposed to the sunlight fell to the ground and died.
All the villagers who fell in a pool of blood were exposed to the scorching sun, and the rest of the villagers who were still alive were almost all standing in places where the sun could not reach.
Yu Zhengzheng's voice trembled as she growled, "Quick! Everyone, hide under the table!"
Xiang Feng frowned: "What have you done wrong again..."
Before he could utter the word "illness", Rong Shang's cold eyes forced him to be unable to utter a single word.
Apart from Shanshui, there was no one present that Yu Zhengzheng valued, but even though she didn't like them, she couldn't ignore them.
This Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation has a total of nine levels of illusion. Even if she and Shanshui are lucky enough to get through the first level of illusion, what about the next eight levels
She is very aware of her own strength. For her now, even having disgusting teammates is better than having no teammates at all.
Yu Zhengzheng took a breath and explained again: "All the villagers who ate the Hundred Family Banquet and were exposed to the sun died, while those who stood in the shade of the trees were still alive."
After that, she added: "That's all I have to say. I have done my best. It's up to you whether you want to hide under the table or not."
Immortal Lord Hengwu, whose collar was grabbed by Xiang Feng, slowly narrowed his eyes.
Almost everyone who entered the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation was killed in the first layer of the illusion. They ate the food without any vigilance, and fled everywhere when the villagers were blown into blood. Naturally, they all died here.
It's a pity that the little girl could fill her stomach without changing her expression even after he told her that she couldn't eat in this illusion, and she was not afraid of the bloody and horrifying scene at all, and calmly searched for the secret of breaking the formation.
Just this calmness and composure made him feel ashamed of himself.
Even though he was used to seeing bloody scenes and was frightened when he saw the dead villagers, she showed no fear at all.
Immortal Heng Wu chuckled: "As expected of the Ghost King's woman, the little girl has a sharp eye and can tell the secret of this formation at a glance."
Yu Zhengzheng didn't react when she heard this, but for some reason, she felt a little proud.
This emotion was somewhat inexplicable, even a little strange, at least he had never experienced this feeling before.
Rong Shang raised his lips slightly: "This kind of thing can't be envied."
Immortal Hengwu: “…”
Yu Zhengzheng was about to hide under the table, but she discovered a disadvantage. Even if she hid under the table, she might still be refracted by the sunlight.
After all, the table is not a cabinet, and the bottom is not completely enclosed, so the light and shadows of the table will also change with the movement of sunlight.
Apparently, Yu Zhengzheng was not the only one who thought of this.
An Ning timidly pointed out the problem, and then turned his gaze to the mountains and rivers.
Shanshui is a coffin, and she didn't eat the food from Taohua Village, so it doesn't matter if she is exposed to the sun.
An Ning whispered, "Could you please ask Miss Shanshui to consider the overall situation and transform into a coffin so that we can hide for a while?"
Yu Zhengzheng was furious when she heard this. She glared and said, "Could you please go out in the sun for a while? This will help the overall situation and buy us some time?"
An Ning fell silent. With red eyes, she apologized: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant..."
Yu Zhengzheng was about to vomit. She had never seen such high-grade green tea. She was a strong man in the morning, but now she had become a weak little lamb.
Seeing that the sun was about to move towards them, Xiang Feng, who had been silent, gently grasped Shanshui's hand: "Shanshui..."
He just called out this name and Shanshui understood.
She and he have always been in tune with each other, but at this moment she wishes she didn't understand anything.
She was not an unreasonable person. Now was a critical moment where her life was at stake. If she was exposed to the sunlight, she would die instantly.
But even though she knew it, she just didn't want An Ning to enter her coffin.
She doesn't like peace and quiet, it makes her feel uncomfortable.
Xiang Feng clenched her little hand, with a hint of pleading in his voice: "Just this once, from now on, whatever you want to eat, Master will buy it for you."
Shanshui didn't say anything. She really wanted to tell him that she could eat nothing from now on as long as he didn't let her turn into a coffin.
Immortal Lord Hengwu vaguely saw Shanshui's lowered eyes through the thin white silk, and he gently rubbed the bamboo cane twice with his fingertips.
He chuckled and sighed.
Never mind, just consider it as the sake of this cane.
Heng Wu Xianjun said with a smile: "Why are you using a little girl to block the sun? Come here, I guarantee that you won't be able to see the sun."
As he spoke, he pulled a piece of red cloth from his Qiankun bag and made a hand gesture. The red cloth began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But for some reason, the shape of the red cloth was a bit strange and looked a bit like underwear.
Letting Shanshui return to his original form was originally a bad idea. Seeing that there was a better solution, Xiang Feng naturally would not make things difficult for Shanshui anymore.
Several people hurriedly hid under the red cloth. Yu Zhengzheng also wanted to hide in there, but was pulled back by Rong Shang.
His voice was slightly cold: "You are not allowed to go."
She was a little confused: "Why?"
Rong Shang didn't explain to her, but just hooked his fingers around the belt around her waist and refused to let her go.
He pulled out an oil-paper umbrella from his Qiankun bag and held it over their heads.
Yu Zhengzheng looked at the umbrella that could only accommodate half a person and was so anxious that she almost slapped him.
How can such a small oil-paper umbrella cover the two of them
This is what she thought, and she couldn't help but ask it out loud.
Rong Shang said lightly: "You can be closer to me."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
Damn it, he's such a fool, how can she get close to him
Could she still ride on him
She and he stared at each other as the sunlight was about to shine. Yu Zhengzheng gritted her teeth, jumped up with her legs, and hung on him.
She was like a koala, with her arms hooked around his neck, her legs hanging unnaturally, and her head buried in his chest, as if she wanted to embed herself in it.
Yu Zhengzheng kept repeating in her heart, don't take a photo of her, don't take a photo of her, if you have to take a photo, take a photo of this ghost king who is seeking death first.
Every time she muttered in her heart, the arm hanging on his neck would tighten a little. Rong pulled her arm twice, but it was as hard to move as an iron clamp.
He frowned, held up the oil-paper umbrella with one hand, and lifted her hips with the other hand.
Perhaps because the posture was a little awkward, Yu Zhengzheng tried to adjust it, but he whispered to her, "Don't move."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
Things weren't going smoothly here, and there was almost a fight over there.
Except for Shanshui, everyone else hid under the red cloth of Immortal Lord Hengwu.
Faintly smelling a strange smell, Xiang Feng sniffed twice: "What is this smell?"
Immortal Heng Wu smiled and said, "What kind of smell can it have? You must have smelled it wrong."
Xiang Feng frowned and said nothing more.
An Ning, who was standing by, raised her eyes and looked at the red cloth: "I wonder what this cloth is?"
An Ning was embarrassed to say something: this thing really looked like underwear.
Heng Wu Xianjun still smiled: "Oh, nothing."
He continued, "It's the underwear I took off yesterday and didn't have time to wash."
An Ning: “…”
Heng Wu Xianjun added: "This year is my zodiac year, so I will wear red to celebrate."
An Ning: “…”
Not only did Xiang Feng and An Ning look unhappy, even Xiao Yuqing, who was always as gentle as jade, changed her expression.
Yu Jiangjiang even covered his nose without any concealment, with a look of disgust on his face.
Xiang Feng was annoyed: "What do you mean?"
Heng Wu Xianjun explained in a good-tempered manner: "This pair of underwear is a birthday gift from Nezha. It is made of Qian Kun Ling, which can be used to block the sunlight in this illusion."
Qiankun Ling is a kind of cloth, an extremely rare treasure. Not only can it be used to block the sunlight, it is not even afraid of the fire in Laozi's alchemy furnace.
But he didn't tell the truth. Nezha gave him a piece of Qiankun silk cloth, and he used half of the cloth to make a set of undergarments and pants, which he had not yet had time to wear.
As for the peculiar smell on the underwear, it was because he rubbed it with the heather flowers when he took the Qiankun silk out of the Qiankun bag.
Because he has been weak for many years, he has all kinds of medicinal herbs in his Qiankun bag. Heather tea can aid digestion, so he always carries it with him.
Immortal Hengwu curled his lips and chuckled. The scent of heather is the scent of inherited life. He thought they would definitely like it.
Xiang Feng really wanted to raise his fist and punch him, but the Qiankun Silk was influenced by the spiritual power of Immortal Lord Hengwu. If he took away the spiritual power, the Qiankun Silk would return to its original size.
If the sun happens to shine on them by then... Never mind, I'll settle the score with him after we get through this difficult time.
Yu Zhengzheng was right next to them. After hearing what Immortal Lord Hengwu said, she finally understood why the Ghost King didn't let her pass.
She was forced to smell a strange odor under someone else's shorts. Even though she was heartless, she was unable to accept it.
She hugged his neck tightly, and gently raised her little face buried deep in his chest: "Has the sun passed?"
Rong Shang lowered her head and was about to answer her, but the thin red lips accidentally brushed her earlobe, causing her whole body to shudder.
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at her earlobe which was gradually turning red.
It turns out that human ears can change color.
Perhaps because she had waited too long for his answer, Yu Zhengzheng couldn't help but ask again: "Hasn't it been over yet?"
Rong Shang said absentmindedly, "No."
Her earlobes were small and round, like plump white pearls. She looked like a person who would have many children and good fortune.
Her eyelashes seemed to be a little long, and her plump and fair cheeks were slightly flushed, and there seemed to be a pair of dimples.
Quiet as a virgin, swift as a rabbit, actually quite interesting.
He was suddenly startled and frowned slightly.
Interesting? How could he find her interesting
He frowned and pulled her out of his arms.
Yu Zhengzheng stumbled, raised his head with a grin, and was about to say a few words in Zuan dialect to liven up the atmosphere, but he saw his icy, dead face.
She swallowed the curse words in dismay and muttered softly: "The sun has gone, just tell me, I'm not staying here."
Rong Shang glanced at her and asked, "Who told you to come up here?"
Yu Zhengzheng said aggrievedly: "You said, you said let me get closer to you."
He just said to get closer, but he didn't specify how close.
One centimeter is close, ten centimeters is also close, minus twenty centimeters... wait, forget about this one.
Anyway, the sun finally set.
The villagers who had just been eating on the grass died suddenly without exception. Immortal Lord Hengwu slowly put away the Qiankun Ling, walked among the many corpses, and began to look for something.
He said, "We must leave here before dark. Come and help me find the body of the village chief."
They said everyone should go, but only Xiao Yuqing and Yu Zhengzheng went over.
The Ghost King is a mysophobe, Yu Jiangjiang is timid, Shanshui seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable, and An Ning is also very scared, so Xiang Fengde has to stay to take care of them both.
When Xiao Yuqing saw the bloody corpses with their heads missing, he felt sick to his stomach, but Yu Zhengzheng, a woman, did not back down, so he didn't want to be pretentious.
Before Yu Zhengzheng went looking for the village chief, she first confirmed the village chief's attire with Immortal Lord Heng Wu. She had been only staring at the village chief's goatee and didn't pay much attention to what the village chief was wearing.
After getting a definite answer, she worked more efficiently.
She threw the scattered heads together like throwing carrots and piled them into a small hill. Then she divided the corpses neatly into two categories: male and female.
After classifying them, she quickly browsed through the male corpses and soon found the village chief of Taohua Village.
Immortal Lord Heng Wu and Xiao Yuqing stared at this incredible scene in a daze, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Originally, Immortal Lord Hengwu had expected that he would be lucky enough to find it before the sun set. After all, there were hundreds of people at the scene, and it would be difficult to find it.
Who would have thought that Yu Zhengzheng was so nimble, as if she had done this kind of thing countless times, and she found the village chief's body very quickly and familiarly.
In fact, Yu Zhengzheng has done this many times. She is also a rookie in the apocalypse. Faced with a swarm of zombies, she can only run away.
Seeing that she was too useless, her companions assigned her easier tasks. She only had to be responsible for logistics and clean up the zombie remains in the place where they stayed at night.
For Yu Zhengzheng who likes to sort wet and dry garbage very much, those actions just now were just a subconscious habit.
Immortal Heng Wu couldn't help but poach her: "This little girl is really wonderful. Are you interested in coming to the demon clan to be a guardian?"
Without waiting for Yu Zhengzheng to answer, Rong Shang narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, "Wouldn't it be better to kill the Demon Lord and take his place?"
Immortal Hengwu: “…”
He didn't bother with Rong Shang because he couldn't beat him.
Immortal Lord Hengwu lowered his head, placed his palm on the village chief's heart, and used the sharp blade of his bi'sh0u to cut a hole in his heart.
He picked out a stone with a pink luster using his bi'sh0u.
He grasped the red stone and chanted a spell. The light gradually expanded and emitted a dazzling red glow.
The light enveloped all of them, and the next moment, everyone lost consciousness.
When Yu Zhengzheng opened her eyes again, she found herself in another unfamiliar place.
This time, what came into view was an endless expanse of lush greenery, like a huge tropical rainforest, with tall and straight trees reaching into the sky, and dense grass and unnamed flowers and plants everywhere.
She looked around but didn't see anyone else. It seemed that she was the only one in this endless forest.
Yu Zhengzheng calmed down and was not too frightened.
Although she was unfamiliar with this place, she had the experience of hiding in the forest with her companions during the end of the world, and she had mastered a lot of skills to survive in the wild. In short, she would not die in a short time.
In order to avoid getting lost, she first found a big tree and observed the density of its branches and leaves. The branches and leaves on the sunny side would be more lush, so she could judge the direction based on the density.
The branches and leaves are usually dense in the south and sparse in the north. After she determined the direction, she did not leave in a hurry, but walked around twice to see if there were any unexpected discoveries.
She originally wanted to use her hearing and smell to determine whether there was a water source nearby, but she accidentally found An Ning, who was unconscious, behind a big tree not far away.
Seeing An Ning frowning as if in pain, Yu Zhengzheng slowly curled up the corners of her mouth.
It seemed that An Ning was dreaming.
What kind of dream would An Ning have
Yu Zhengzheng's smile became brighter and brighter. When An Ning was awake, she could put on layers of hypocritical masks, but in a dream, no one could disguise herself.
She wanted to see where this An Ning came from.
Thinking of this, she poked her fingertips on An Ning's forehead, with a smile on her lips, and successfully entered An Ning's dream.
