Wu Dongfang appeared in the Xiadu Dongcheng Inn. The room was unoccupied. He had a sense of place here. He had appeared here many times before. The owner and the waiter were not fools. They should have guessed his identity and deliberately placed this room. The room was permanently set aside.
Wu Dongfang wanted to push the door open, but after thinking about it, he used Tu Tu to escape back to the Jin tribe. He came to the Tu tribe to meet the indigenous wizards invited by Si Ruo. He suspected that these indigenous wizards were descendants of the Nest tribe. In addition, he also One purpose is to get on with Si Shaokang. A nationwide search is a big deal. It's a bit rash for someone to say something. It's best to say it face to face. He changed his mind and returned to the Jin tribe midway because he was too tired and sleepy and was already in a daze.
It was morning time, and Ming Yue was handling official duties in the main hall. When she saw him returning, she put down her quill and came over, "How are things going?"
"It's not good," Wu Dongfang walked out of the palace, "I went to Qisan, but it was also helpless, but according to what it said, there was a spell that could communicate with the gods, and it could be used to communicate with the prince's dissipated soul. to communicate, but this spell has been lost now. I suspect that this spell is related to the Aquatic Tribe. After the important matters are dealt with, I will go to the Aquarian Tribe to meet with Xun Shuang to see if she has heard of this spell. .”
At this time, Mingyue had followed him and was walking on his right side. Wu Dongfang said again, "I also went to Tushan and found the Tushan family, but the prince's descendants were taken away by Nvjiao. Tushan, the nest tribe that was good at civil construction used to go with them when they left, and brought the elderly and children with them. If it was a small-scale construction of something, they didn't need to bring their wives and children. They should take care of their families. It is a large-scale project. Now I suspect that the nine-gong layout of Lingshan was built by them. If it was really built by them, Nvjiao and her descendants should be in Kunlun Mountain, but this is just my guess. I am not sure yet. I can’t bear it anymore, so I’ll go back and take a nap first, and then talk about it when my mind is clear.”
"You should have rested long ago. If this matter hadn't involved the prince, I would never have let you out yesterday. I know the importance of the prince in your heart. I wanted to persuade you but I was afraid that you would be unhappy." Ming Yue's tone was filled with confusion. Complain.
"Afraid of my displeasure?" Wu Dongfang tilted his head and looked at Ming Yue, "Are you afraid of me?"
Ming Yue glanced at him and did not answer his question.
Wu Dongfang walked around the southeast corner of the hall and walked to the backyard, "Last night I went to a cave, where I spent a few days with Yamiao. Although nothing happened, my mood still became very bad after going there. It's bad partly because I can't forget Yamiao, and partly because I feel I owe you. It's just that I can't forget Yamiao. I still want to marry Xin Tong. Do you think I'm a little half-hearted?"
"It seems so." Ming Yue smiled.
"Then you can still laugh." Wu Dongfang passed through the gatehouse of the inner house.
"Why can't I laugh? You have known me as long as you have known Yamiao. I have become your wife, and she is no longer here. There is nothing wrong with you missing her." Wu Dongfang walked quickly, Ming Yue followed He was also more hasty, "I also agree with Xin Tong. She has a general understanding and is very well-behaved. She will definitely not turn against me."
"It's easy for you to be satisfied." Wu Dongfang yawned.
"I don't know what the world was like in the world you lived in. At that time, men could only have wives and were not allowed to have wives and concubines?" Ming Yue asked. At this time, both wives and wives meant wives, but Madam is a harder term, referring to the eldest wife. Wife refers to a wife with a slightly lower status, and concubines are not counted. However, at this time, most wives refer to themselves as wives, which is a relatively modest statement.
"Yes, in the era I lived in, a man could only have one wife." Wu Dongfang opened the door and entered the room.
"Idiots also have wives?" Ming Yue helped Wu Dongfang pour water to wash his face.
"Nonsense, of course, there are stupid men and there are stupid women." Wu Dongfang took off the bow, arrows and sundries on his body.
"Then wouldn't their descendants be more stupid?" Ming Yue handed the towel to Wu Dongfang.
"Idiots also have human rights, okay?" Wu Dongfang took the towel and threw it away, then picked up Ming Yue.
Mingyue was quite surprised and raised her hand to point south. At this time, there were servants and maids walking around outside, but the door was still open.
Wu Dongfang was furious, closed the door, and carried Ming Yue on the bed. Ming Yue turned over and got off the ground, walked over and locked the door.
The beds were not big at this time, and they would creak if they moved too much. Wu Dongfang hated the sound, so he didn't get on the bed at all and only used half of the bed.
There are no rules for a man to follow when he is on fire. Once he is on fire, he will be very impatient. If a woman deliberately delays and refuses, her desire may turn into anger. If she delays again, her anger will turn into resentment. Once it turns into resentment, she will not throw herself into her arms. That’s it. It’s not a smart idea to try to whet a man’s appetite. Not only will a man not cherish it after he gets it, but he may also resent the other’s early teasing and torture.
During the practice, one's energy is calm and stable, and one can follow one's wishes despite violent storms, flying high and falling sharply.
"You should have a good rest. I'll call you during dinner." Ming Yue tidied her clothes.
"Why are you going? Come up and sleep with me." Wu Dongfang closed his eyes and waved.
"Some things need to be dealt with urgently." Ming Yue said.
"I'll give you a day off and we'll talk tomorrow." Wu Dongfang stood up and grabbed Ming Yue.
"The tribal officials are still waiting at the post house." Ming Yue wanted to struggle to get up.
"I'll give him a day off too." Wu Dongfang pulled Ming Yue up.
Ming Yue had long been used to Wu Dongfang's lack of tone, and knew that if he kept talking, his temper might get worse, so she had no choice but to lie with him.
"When everything is fine, I must study carefully why men like women." Wu Dongfang said, women bring not only physical catharsis to men, but also inner comfort, enrichment, warmth, and stability. peaceful.
"Can you think of something useful?" Ming Yue smiled.
"What do you know? This question is very profound. It requires the connection between the universe, yin and yang, and the understanding of the principles of heaven and earth. Men and women are a microcosm of the mysteries of the universe. If I figure this question out, I will be enlightened. But I still don't want to be enlightened. I am enlightened. It's boring." Wu Dongfang's voice became smaller and smaller.
After waiting patiently for half an hour, when Wu Dongfang fell asleep, Ming Yue quietly got up. Wu Dongfang was a holy wizard in name, but he didn't deal with daily affairs. He was a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about money or accounts. He took care of all the trivial matters of the Jin clan. She's handling it all.
Not long after returning to the main hall, Ming Yue walked out with a bundle of bamboo slips in her hand. She walked to the bedroom door in the backyard and stopped. After hesitating for a long time, she returned to the main hall.
Not long after, he walked out of the hall with his staff, but after standing at the door of the hall for a few minutes, he returned to the hall and ordered someone to call the officials of the Kashi tribe.
The Jin tribe belongs to the south. Even in late autumn, it gets dark very late. However, today's meal is early. The food was brought into the bedroom before the time came. Ming Yue softly called Wu Dongfang to get up.
Wu Dongfang opened his eyes dimly. He hadn't slept enough, but he smelled the smell of the food and reluctantly sat up. "Why did you start eating so early today?"
"I have something to tell you," Ming Yue sat on the bedside, "Six people were killed in the northernmost village of the Kashi tribe last night."
"Tell me more details." Wu Dongfang turned over and got off the ground.
"These six people were all unmarried women. They died at home. Their heads were in different places. There were obvious tooth marks on their necks. When they were found, their bodies had turned black and insects were not nearby. I suspect they were poisoned by corpse poison." Yue said.
"You have to look at it to know if you have been poisoned by corpse poison." Wu Dongfang sat at the table and drank tea to rinse his mouth.
"I originally wanted to go over and investigate, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be more appropriate for you to go over until you wake up." Ming Yue said.
"Well, you did the right thing, you must not put yourself in danger." Wu Dongfang pinched a bun and opened his mouth to chew it, "Were they infected with corpse poison? Let it go first. Who cut off their heads? "
Mingyue didn't say anything. She took the scroll of bamboo slips from the wooden table beside the bed, unfolded it and showed it to Wu Dongfang, "The official of Kashi Tribe is still in the post house. Do you want to call him over?"
"What are you calling me for, eating my steamed buns?" Wu Dongfang tilted his head and read the article, doubts arose in his heart. According to the description on the bamboo slips, those women were indeed poisoned by corpse poison. People who were poisoned by corpse poison would have eyes that would It became abnormally turbid in a short period of time, and there were fangs growing out of their mouths. The canine teeth of these people had mutated, which showed that they had indeed been attacked by zombies.
The biggest mystery in this matter is that these people all died on their own beds. When do people infected with corpse poison mutate? In addition to their personal physique, it also depends on the degree of dominance of the corpse poison carried by the zombies who bit them. To put it bluntly, One point is that the more powerful the zombies are, the shorter the attack time will be for those who have been bitten, and the faster they will mutate.
These girls died on their own beds, which shows that they mutated very quickly, and the canine teeth showed signs of mutation but did not completely turn into fangs, which means that after they were bitten, someone removed their heads as quickly as possible. Cut it off.
The person who cut off their heads was undoubtedly to prevent them from turning into zombies. The question now is who can cut off their heads in a short time after they were bitten by powerful zombies.
"What do you think of this matter?" Wu Dongfang was in a state of flux. Deaths often happened, so caring about the people would not make him so sad that he couldn't eat. If he couldn't eat, he was just pretending to show it to outsiders.
Ming Yue sat next to Wu Dongfang, carrying a pot to pour him tea, "I suspect that the person who bit them and the person who cut off their heads are the same person."
"I think so too." Wu Dongfang nodded.
"When the corpse poison enters the body, it attacks the heart first and then the brain. It doesn't take long for a zombie to absorb blood. In such a short period of time, the corpse poison has already reached the brain. This zombie is probably already mature." Ming Yue said.
"I should be able to guess who this zombie is." Wu Dongfang looked at Ming Yue while holding the cage, "When I was dueling with Ma Yi that day, there was a female zombie present. This woman's origin is unknown. I have never fought against her. , I don’t know the depth of its cultivation level. Later, when the two sides fought, it fought on behalf of Ji’s side. The Jiuyou Ghost King then came to an end, but they did not take action, but talked to each other. It is unknown what they said. After the conversation, this one The zombies left the fighting arena and were never seen again.”
Ming Yue didn't understand the situation and didn't express an opinion after nodding.
"It went west that day. If it keeps going west, it will enter the border area between us and the Shui Tribe." Wu Dongfang said.
"Why didn't it return to heaven with Xuannv?" Ming Yue asked.
"It's a zombie. It has a body. How can it go to heaven?" Wu Dongfang put down the cage. "I'm full. You can eat some while it's hot. I'll go over and take a look..."
