After parting ways with Li Hongquan's refugee convoy, the world became completely silent again.
She rode her horse and walked slowly. The only thing that could talk to her was the heavy thoughts in her head. She didn't feel lonely along the way.
Occasionally she would see some deer, so she would take out her bow and arrows and start hunting, then light a fire and enjoy a meal of wild game.
Just like that, six days passed in a flash.
What's confusing is that Tsurumi Chuyun didn't find Tugou Village on the map. Apart from the rolling mountains and rivers buried in heavy snow, she didn't see even a single human habitation in the past six days.
She was alone on the road and had no idea where she was on the map. She could only hold the compass and keep walking towards the north.
It wasn't until the seventh day that she raised her hand to block the snow in the wind and snow and looked into the distance and finally saw the outline of a village. She couldn't help but said with joy: "Did you see it? It's a village!"
"I saw it, go in and see what the name of this village is, and then buy a steelyard."
After calming down her excitement, she pinched the horse's belly, causing Jueying under her to speed up, and the outline of the village in the distance became clearer and clearer.
But soon, Tsurumi Chuyun noticed something was wrong, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The atmosphere in this village is very strange, there is no popularity at all.
And Shen Yi obviously touched something with his senses, and said in a low voice: "Old witch, get ready, I'm coming out."
"What's going on ahead?"
"Dead people, all dead people."
Before Hejian Chuyun could agree, Shen Yi turned into a ray of light and squeezed out from between her eyebrows, revealing her true form as soon as she landed on the ground.
Without saying a word, he unfolded his dragon wings, flew into the village, and then used his forelimbs to dig into the snow. When Tsurumi Chuyun caught up with him on horseback, he happened to pull out a corpse.
This was a man who looked to be in his twenties. The body was frozen hard. There was an obvious blood mark on his neck. It was obvious that it had been scratched with a knife or sword.
After looking at each other with Tsurumi Chuyun, they roughly guessed what happened here.
The village was massacred by bandits!
In order to make sure that this was not done by evil spirits, Shen Yi dug out a few more corpses to check their wounds. He was stunned for a while after digging out a baby corpse whose whole body was frozen to an iron-blue color. Tsurumi Chuyun came over to take a look and check. He looked at the other corpses and said calmly: "They were thrown to death."
Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Mader, these beasts!"
Putting the corpses down, Shen Yi scanned around again. He dug out a total of eight corpses from the snow. Except for a person who was suspected of being trampled to death by a horse and a baby who was thrown to death, the others were all cold. They were hacked to death with weapons, and the bodies were only wearing thin clothes, so it was basically determined to be the work of bandits.
In addition, these corpses were not buried too deep in the snow. Judging from the amount of snow in the past few days, the massacre of the village should have occurred two days ago.
"Old witch, do you think it's possible that the villages near us have been massacred like this these days? Otherwise, we wouldn't even see a single cigarette."
He Jian Chuyun nodded while looking for something. She didn't reply to Shen Yi's words. She found the gate of the village and took out the map to check it out.
The village was called Taoshan. She quickly found it on the map. The funny thing was that Taoshan was almost due north of Tugou Village.
As for Jua City, it is just northeast of Taoshan, and it can be reached in four or five days.
Shen Yi also looked at the map: "Where are we now?"
"here."
"Looking at Lijua City, it's not that far away. How many miles are there?"
"Five hundred miles, maybe."
She put away the map, walked into the village again, and began to search from house to house.
"I'll see if I can find a scale in the house," she said.
Shen Yi shook his head and didn't care much. He finally came out to take a breath of fresh air. He originally wanted to walk around, but thinking of the baby's body, he walked back again.
Another woman's body was dug up next to the baby's body, and then they were dragged into the yard behind a house, dug a hole in it, and buried the body in it.
Too many people have died in Taoshan Village. Shen Yi himself is not a very diligent person. He doesn't like to help people collect corpses, so he can bury them one by one. As for other people's corpses?
Let's just hope that some kindhearted people will pass by and help them cook.
Speaking of which, at the junction of the two dynasties of Liang and Yu, there was a swamp called Hui Di. Because the environment was harsh and unsuitable for ordinary people to survive, the two countries rarely paid attention to it, so Hui Di Swamp There was no clear dividing line. Over time, as desperadoes and lawless elements poured in one after another, a large town called Black Snake was built on the swamp.
There is no doubt that it is a paradise for villains.
Fighting, fighting, gambling, prostitution and other industries are all available.
Of course, the two dynasties also had the idea of sending troops to encircle Black Snake Town, but the efforts were not worth the rewards. After several attempts to show off, they gave up.
The gray swamp has also become a no-nonsense zone.
If nothing unexpected happens, Black Snake Town will remain stable.
But unfortunately, accidents still occurred. Six years ago, a pulse determiner discovered a huge spiritual vein buried under the swamp just a few days after entering Black Snake Town. When this news came out, Daliang and Dayu's two behemoths smelled it.
The amount of spiritual stones contained in the spiritual vein itself is enough to make people crazy, but that's not it. What's more important is that an innate spirit in the spiritual vein is about to be born.
Different innate spirits are bred from various negative energies, but are called evil innate spirits. The innate spirits in the spiritual veins of Black Snake Town are positive-oriented and belong to one of the five elements of fairy spirits, called open fire fairy spirits. , it is said that this thing is several times rarer than a practitioner contracted with a Class-A Life God.
Making it recognize its master and refining it will be of great benefit to people.
It is not difficult to make him recognize his master. There is only one condition, that is, the person to be recognized as his master must have the characteristics of truth, kindness and beauty.
This condition is enough to kill most people with one stick, but if there are tens of millions of people in a dynasty, there will always be one absolutely good person, right?
No one can say for sure about this, so neither the spiritual vein itself nor the innate spirits within the spiritual vein can be captured by the other party. Both dynasties said that Grayland Swamp belongs to their own territory, and the two sides argued endlessly, so Then they sent out troops to fight.
In short, it is the people in the upper class who start wars for their own interests, and in the end it is only the people at the bottom who suffer.
After burying the two corpses, Shen Yi washed his paws with the snow on the ground. At this time, He Jian Chuyun's voice came over.
"Master...where have you run to?"
"Here it is."
He climbed over the fence and came out of the yard. Outside, He saw Chuyun already riding a horse.
"gone."
"Did you find the scale?"
"Yes, I found it." She took out a steel scale she had just found in a village house and showed it to him. Shen Yi nodded and turned into a ball of light and penetrated into her conscious space.
Enduring the brief sharp pain caused by the God of Life entering his body, Tsurumi Chuyun exhaled a white breath, pressed the map with one hand, held the reins with the other hand while holding the compass, and let Jueying under him walk forward. Go, but much faster than before.
As soon as Shen Yi entered the conscious space, he started to rotate boringly, and soon took the time to look in the direction of the stage.
He ignored the altar in the past few days, and many red and yellow filaments were born on the second floor, but they were all pushed up to the top by the surging white interior and piled up.
These things were Shen Yi's only way of entertainment in his conscious space. He did not devour these red and yellow filaments in one go like before, but played with them one by one. It was no wonder that he had saved them for so long.
Not long after, the first yellow filament swam into his mouth. Shen Yi smacked his mouth, and there was a slight sour taste.
Just like the small physalis fruits I ate in my previous life.
"Old witch."
"What's wrong?"
"It would be great if you could contract a life god."
"..."
"It's best if it's a cute one like Jinqiumon."
"Why?"
"I really want to have a cat to masturbate with."
"...But you can only contract with one life god. If you want to contract with another one, I can't communicate with Wenshi."
"It's so boring..." Shen Yi tilted his body and floated, but then he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Old witch, how about you pretend to be a tail and put on cat ears and let me lift it?"
"..."
Outside, He saw Chuyun and stopped talking, pretending not to hear Shen Yi's words.
What's going on in Xuan Li's heart?
She is a human being, at most she is the maid he talks about, not a pet at all!
"Old witch."
"Old witch!"
"Speak to me!"
"...you...I don't have a tail or cat ears."
"You won't buy it and wear it?"
"where to buy?"
"Uh... It seems like, no one sells these, forget it, I'll find someone to make one later, hehehe, the old witch is going to become a cat girl."
He saw Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Yi's expectant laughter was really harsh to her ears, so she simply lay on the horse's neck, pulled up the fur coat on her body, then closed her eyes and let go Shen Yi thought he was sleeping.
He stopped talking. He put his paws into the altar and played with the red and yellow filaments while thinking about something.
But having said that, after looking at this shrine for a long time, I almost mistook the gray-white color for white.
The horses walked for more than ten miles in the wind and snow, and suddenly there was a crunching sound in front of them. Tsurumi Chuyun quickly opened his eyes and looked up.
I saw a prison car pulled by two horses coming down the ramp that forked in front. There were two people sitting in front of the prison car, and a total of four people on horseback escorted it in front and behind.
The six of them were all wearing red clothes, with a layer of black coats and armor on the outside. Both Hejian Chuyun and Shen Yi had seen such outfits, and they were officials.
Judging from their posture and the place where they appeared, they might have just returned from suppressing bandits.
Originally, Tsurumi Chuyun wanted to tell the officials what happened in Momoyama Village, but she felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. In the end, she said nothing and just pulled the reins to make the horse move closer to the roadside.
Similarly, the eyes of the six officers changed the moment they saw her, as if they were wary of her, and one by one they touched the sabers at their waists.
The air became a little solid. In order not to cause trouble, Tsurumi Chuyun didn't make any movement and just rode forward quietly.
As she walked past the prison van, she turned her head and glanced at the person in the cage. The person was wearing a white loose prison uniform. He was not wearing shackles, and there were no shackles around his neck. Only his hands were tied and fixed by ropes. On the cage behind him, his mouth was covered by a piece of white cloth, and there seemed to be something stuffed in his mouth.
His hair was disheveled on his shoulders, and he was sitting on the haystack like a beggar on the roadside, shivering from the cold.
When Tsurumi Chuyun looked at him, he also looked up and saw the face of a young man, who looked very ordinary and had a conspicuous black mole on his chin.
The two sides looked at each other, but soon fell apart.
The person driving the prison van then slammed the wooden frame of the prison cage hard and shouted to the prisoners inside in a cold voice: "Be honest!"
Turning her head, Hejian Chuyun frowned slightly. She didn't know why, but she looked familiar to him, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Shen Yi felt the same way and said doubtfully, "This man looks familiar. Have you seen him somewhere before?"
"Does it look familiar to you too?"
"Well, take a closer look and let me think about who it is..."
After listening to Shen Yi's words, she turned around and looked again, and the "prisoner" also looked at what she was trying to remember.
This time, her eyes focused on the mole on his chin, and the next second, the dead memory finally came back to life.
"I remembered, it was him!"
"Damn it, isn't this the man who was watching you in the carriage before we entered Fenghe Town?"
"Strange, how did he become like this..."
"Who knows, this is just a young man from a rich family. He goes out in a carriage and comes back in a prison car. The other one does whatever he wants."
"..."
Not long after she and Shen Yi remembered where they had seen the prisoner, the other party also remembered something and watched them begin to struggle.
In half a month, he went from being a young man in a luxurious carriage to being a prisoner. He didn't know what happened to him, but he didn't want to meddle in Chuyun's business if he wasn't a relative.
She calmly rode past the prison car, but within a few seconds, her face darkened. The "prisoner" in the prison car didn't know what method he used, but he just rubbed the white cloth covering his mouth to his nose, and then spit out the contents in his mouth. Dirty rag, shouted: "Be careful!"
Along with this shout, there was a sound of wind behind him. He Jian Chuyun immediately turned around, and a green light point came out of his hand.
Uh-huh!
The fake officials riding around the carriage had already pulled out their sabers. The next moment, one of them had his neck pierced by a green leaf dart, and the person behind him also had three fingers flying out of his hand, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the snow.
For a moment, the frightened horses neighed loudly, and their hooves made constant rustling sounds on the snow.
A cold light came over, and Tsurumi Chuyun also quickly drew out his sword and attacked.
clang!
The knives and swords collided together and made a crisp sound.
"The main level is broken!"
The face of the person fighting her was a little shocked. How old is the girl in front of her? Is his cultivation level equal to his own?
He didn't have time to think, and immediately shouted: "Zeng Jiu! Move quickly..." Before he finished speaking, the girl in front of him lit up with light. He realized that the other party had asked the contracted beast to use the Blessing Body of Life, and he did not dare to He was vague and quickly communicated with his contracted beast.
But before he had time, the other party's terrifying power shook him to the point where he was lying on the horse's back. Blood was spilled all over him. He watched the horse's head fly high, and then his neck felt cold. In the blink of an eye, , he saw a headless figure on a horse. (End of chapter)
