"Things in legends are unfounded after all, but human life is at stake, and this case cannot just go undisclosed!" Princess Anyang said.
Xie Yunxiao looked at Princess Anyang and said, "What if the legend is true?"
"The legend is true, this case must be investigated clearly!" Princess Anyang said in an extremely affirmative tone.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at Princess Anyang again, with a faint smile on his face, "Then we will investigate the case!"
Princess Anyang nodded, and he asked Shang Ping to arrange the ship to enter Mengze.
When Qu Fei heard this, how could he agree? But he definitely has nothing to do with Princess Anyang.
Before long, the ship was ready.
Originally, Shang Ping did not intend to delve into this case, but Princess Anyang's behavior forced him to bite the bullet and go to Mengze together. As for Qu Fei, he was the leader of the escort team and was responsible for Princess Anyang's safety. Naturally, You have to follow him in.
In this way, Xie Yunxiao was the only one on board who was from Ning.
Moreover, in the Chu Kingdom, everyone knew that the King of Chu wanted to kill Xie Yunxiao.
Therefore, both Shang Ping and Qu Fei had some different thoughts, but they did not dare to express them easily.
But what kind of person is Xie Yunxiao? How could Qu Fei and Shang Ping's every move escape his perception?
Around noon, Xie Yunxiao and others' ship had arrived outside Mengze.
Looking at it, this is a mysterious place shrouded in fog. Between the fog, the undulating mountains can be vaguely seen.
Mengze has a radius of three hundred miles, but after the ship comes in, as far as the eye can see, this is a lake, not like a swamp.
“Mr. A lake!" Princess Anyang said with a smile.
When Xie Yunxiao heard this, he said: "It's hard to say!"
Princess Anyang didn't say anything, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
She doesn't know whether she expects this place to be like a legend, or expects this place to be just an ordinary place, or something else.
The boat went almost deep, and finally, in the center of the lake, an extremely lush reed appeared.
In this mist, the reeds are much higher than the water level. From a distance, they look like a short pile placed there.
Princess Anyang asked the boat to walk in the direction of the reed field, and soon arrived at the edge of the reed field.
Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly, and Princess Anyang asked: "What did Mr. Xie find?"
"The smell of blood!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Princess Anyang nodded, and the ship leaned against the shore. Qu Fei said: "Your Highness, just ask the officials and others to go over and check. You stay on the ship!"
"Okay!" Princess Anyang thought for a while and said.
Naturally, Xie Yunxiao also wanted to get off the ship. Shang Ping and Qu Fei came up to the reed field with a dozen soldiers.
This was originally an extremely lush reed field, but at this time, many of them were deflected and broken. Not far away, there were several corpses.
Seeing this, Xie Yunxiao moved forward a little faster.
Shang Ping and Qu Fei, who were walking behind, looked at each other. They obviously wanted to sneak attack Xie Yunxiao at this time. In their opinion, this opportunity was an excellent one.
Of course, this was just what they thought. Xie Yunxiao had already understood everything, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
But at this moment, there was a rustling sound in the reed field in front.
Originally planning to take action against Shang Ping and Qu Fei, his attention turned to the reed field on the side.
Suddenly, a sharp cry came out, and a big black snake suddenly rushed out of the reed field, opened its bloody mouth, and spit out a piece of black venom.
"Stand back!" Qu Fei shouted. He unsheathed the sword on his waist and thrust it into the void. The bright sword light, like a white cloud, suddenly rolled away.
There was a loud bang, and the flying black venom was blocked, knocked out, and scattered on the reeds. Suddenly, there was a hissing sound and black smoke rose.
Two drops of venom fell on the left arm of a soldier. In an instant, black smoke rose from his arm, and his flesh and blood flowed and turned black.
He let out a shrill scream, which made the surrounding environment even more eerie and terrifying.
At the critical moment, Qu Fei did not hesitate and cut off his arm with his sword, thus saving his life.
The big black snake attacked again, its huge snake tail sweeping like a black whip.
The target of the attack was Qu Fei who drew his sword.
Qu Fei paused slightly, then held the sword with both hands and struck out horizontally.
With a bang, the big black snake rolled out, spreading out the reed field and overwhelming it.
Qu Fei, on the other hand, was shaken and flew backwards. His hand holding the sword could not help but tremble.
Xie Yunxiao stepped forward to look at the corpse. The corpse's head was gone, its internal organs had been hollowed out, and all that was left was just a shell.
"Did this big black snake turn the body like this?" Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly. He looked back and saw that the big snake that was blown away did not continue the fight, but turned into the reed field, and soon it was gone. There is no trace.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at the body again, and now he could only judge its identity based on some of the clothes on it.
Fortunately, when I came in, I had already asked who looked like and what kind of clothes he was wearing. Otherwise, it would be difficult to judge who this person is in the current situation.
"Go back, there are no clues on this corpse!" Xie Yunxiao turned around and continued walking in front.
In this way, Shang Ping and Qu Fei once again had the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
But at this time, everyone was very serious. Shang Ping and Qu Fei naturally didn't think about other things.
Back on the ship, Shang Ping told everything he saw and heard. Princess Anyang glanced at Xie Yunxiao and asked, "Mr. Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "I can't say for the time being!"
"Could it be that everyone who came in was killed by the big snake?" Princess Anyang asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "But here, there is only one corpse, and it is not a complete corpse!"
"Maybe he was eaten by that big snake!" Shang Ping said calmly.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Why is Huang Daniu's body outside Mengze? Who sent the body out?"
"Maybe he was washed out by the water!" Qu Fei said.
Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "Wu Zuo has performed an autopsy and there is no accumulated water in his body. The most important thing is that if he had just been killed and sank into the water, he would not be able to float for a while!"
"Yes, who sent the body to Mengze? What was his purpose?" Princess Anyang said.
No one answered her, because no one knew how to answer at this time. For a moment, the ship suddenly became quiet.
In this fog, after the big ship calmed down, there was an inexplicable atmosphere.
After Princess Anyang pondered for a while, she took a deep breath and said, "Keep going!"
Because there was no target, the ship was not moving very fast. It was only about ten miles away at around You hour.
Judging from the current situation, we still have not entered the center of Mengze.
There is still a lake here, and the swampland has never been seen.
But the undulating mountains in the distance are much clearer.
At dusk, the lake was completely dark. Suddenly, several water birds were seen crossing the lake surface, and ripples suddenly appeared.
Xie Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although these water birds looked no different from ordinary ones, for a moment, he saw a slight red light in the eyes of these water birds.
Obviously, this is no ordinary water bird.
"Your Highness, look at the sky, it will get dark soon. How about we go back first and come back tomorrow?" Shang Ping said.
At night, the temperature on the lake dropped suddenly, with a howling chill and an inexplicable and strange atmosphere.
The solemn look in Shang Ping's eyes became more and more serious. He suggested that Princess An Ning leave and come back tomorrow. In fact, he wanted to go out immediately more than anyone else.
Princess Anyang said: "No need, if you go out and come in again, you will be delayed a lot!"
Qu Fei nodded secretly. They were a wedding team and they had already been delayed here for a day. Now as long as they work hard, they could make up for the delay of a day or two.
But if we delay for too long, we will definitely miss the auspicious day chosen by Zhao State, which is related to the alliance between Zhao State and Chu State.
By that time, no one knows what the King of Chu will do. After all, the current situation in Chu is not good.
Thinking of this, Qu Fei and Shang Ping had inexplicable hatred in their eyes. If it weren't for Xie Yunxiao, King Qi, King Wei, Zhao Qian, Yan Dan and others would have died in Jingshan Mountain.
Of the seven kingdoms in the world, four of them fell into chaos at the same time, and the opportunity for Chu to unify the world came.
But now, Chu State is in this situation.
Xie Yunxiao naturally knew why people like Shang Ping and Qu Fei had the idea of killing him, but he was too lazy to care. Everything in the world is like this. People often only think about what is beneficial to them.
If the King of Chu had not planned such a plan to put all of them to death, how could they have ended up like this?
The sky was completely dark, and the night in Mengze seemed much darker than other places.
Xie Yunxiao did not make any move, but the power of his soul had been released, and he was sensing the changes in the laws here.
But what surprised Xie Yunxiao was that it seemed that the power of the laws here had never moved, as if it was still, without any ripples.
Xie Yunxiao took a deep breath and his expression became slightly more solemn. He knew that this place was far scarier than expected.
Anywhere where all living things are operating, they naturally have their own concerns, and this is the source of the power of law.
Now, with Xie Yunxiao's cultivation level, he can't sense the changes in the power of the law. This can only mean that some unknown changes have taken place here.
"How much does Mr. Xie know about the legend of the Land of Death?" Princess Anyang asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "There are five death places in Kyushu. The legends are similar, but now we are all still alive. Fishermen come in to fish and can still come out alive. All of this, the legends don't seem to be true!"
"I think so too!" An inexplicable smile appeared on Princess Anyang's face.
Xie Yunxiao said: "So, everything is uncertain!"
