This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Not only did Mr. Yan not find the deceased old man Jiufeng, but when he returned to his residence, he saw that the place was engulfed in a fire. The people responsible for staying behind were injured and died. They suffered heavy losses that night.
A final headcount was carried out. On this night, they lost half of their masters, most of whom died from the sudden backlash explosion of the corpse-nurturing talisman.
Among the people who were blown up into the sky and turned into a rain of blood was the Feng Shui master.
Master Yan's face was gloomy and ugly. He suppressed the anger in his heart. Seeing that Laughing Corpse Village would soon be completely engulfed in fire, he wanted to take the remaining people to escape first.
He ordered people to find camels, and then helped up the monk who was seriously injured and unconscious, and the mountain guard who looked ugly after vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood due to backlash. The group of people escaped from the burning Laughing Corpse Manor in embarrassment.
They suffered heavy losses on this trip. Even those who survived were all injured, and no one was intact.
When he thought of the culprit of all this, Mr. Yan became even more furious.
Along the way they met veterans who were blackened by smoke.
"It's ruined, it's ruined, there's nothing left!"
"All our ancestors were burned!"
"Our Laughing Corpse Village is completely doomed this time!"
The veterans saw that the fire had spread to half of the Laughing Corpse Village. They were slumped on the ground as if they were lost. The buckets they were holding rolled to the side without noticing. They just looked at the buildings devoured by the raging fire with dull eyes. Mortuary.
The firelight illuminated the old faces covered with deep ravines, making the ravines look like shadowy poisonous insects, and the expressions on their faces were particularly ferocious.
Hearing the sound of camels and the hasty footsteps of a group of people behind them, they turned around and bumped into Master Yan. It was like enemies who were extremely jealous when they met. The two sides almost came to blows. They had already recognized that this time The arsonist was Mr. Jiu Feng, who was working with Mr. Yan.
"Several elderly people, we are also victims! We have great trust in Mr. Jiu Feng and his apprentice, but Mr. Jiu Feng and his apprentice have evil intentions. They took advantage of our unpreparedness and suddenly attacked us at close range. We want to We tried our best to stop him, but the thieves made a sneak attack, and half of us died, and the remaining half were all wounded. Don't tell me that you hate him, even I, Mr. Yan, hate him. Hate him with all my heart!"
"He suddenly attacked us and deliberately set fire to the village. It was clear that he wanted to provoke a war between the two of us! At this time, we should calm down and join forces to deal with the outside world, and we should not sway the enemy because of our personal emotions. , the two of us fight to the death, and the ones who laugh in the end will only be Mr. Jiu Feng, his master and his three apprentices, who are the fishermen!"
Anyway, three people from the Jiufeng lineage died, and the two disciples were also swallowed up by the ruins and fire, so Master Yan blamed the dead people for everything. This is called death without evidence.
Lord Yan pointed to a group of wounded people on his side, even he himself was injured. After some painstaking explanations, the veterans were skeptical that Old Man Jiufeng and Lord Yan were not in the same group.
But their hatred for Master Yan and his group was thus buried.
I just temporarily succumbed to the skills of people like Master Yan and didn't dare to act too rashly.
On the way out of Laughing Corpse Village, Master Yan also saw the deep hatred hidden in the eyes of the veterans of Laughing Corpse Village. He knew very well that these veterans were unreliable and he had to find an opportunity to deal with them.
This Master Yan is not a good person either.
He was also mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis, so he had no choice but to accept the bad news.
Even if he said that Old Man Jiu Feng was possessed by someone and that led to the subsequent incident of setting fire to Laughing Corpse Village, this incident still started because of them. If they had not taken the initiative to provoke Jin An and the others, there would not have been a series of subsequent incidents. Mr. Jiu Feng died, and the other party came to take revenge.
Moreover, what exactly happened to Mr. Jiu Feng after his soul left his body, and who the master of the soul was, has not yet been found out, so they can only choose to endure it for now.
Now that one-third of their skills have been lost, they can only endure this matter first and not make too many enemies. There is still a long way to go before they can reach the Kingdom of the Immortal God.
…
Just as both parties were escaping from the Laughing Corpse Manor in panic, Qi Bo was waiting at the door with the goat and camel in hand.
This is called planning and acting.
He is waiting for someone's soul to return.
Then escape the fire immediately.
Although he didn't know how the Laughing Corpse Mansion suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, he remembered that the owner of the house was out of his body and seeking revenge. The timing of the two events was so coincidental that he felt that the sudden fire might be related to the house. It’s related to the master there.
Thinking of this, Qi Bo looked back at his young master in the room.
Young Master Yiyun, who has a red face and white teeth, heroic eyebrows, and is dressed as a gentle scholar with a sword, is sitting quietly next to Jin An, guarding Jin An every step of the way.
There were flames blazing outside.
The room is a still and harmonious picture.
Let the wind and rain blow outside the door, I am as confident as taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. Sit and watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, laugh at the past events in the world of mortals, and be indifferent to love and resentment.
Summary of the eight characters——
Indifferent to fame and wealth, detached from the world.
"I think Taoist Jin An and the young master are very compatible with each other." Qi Bo lowered his voice and muttered to himself, then turned back to look at the fire that was spreading toward the sky.
And at Qi Bo's feet, lay the corpses of three martial arts masters.
They were all people sent by Lord Yan to keep an eye on him. If they found the opportunity, they would destroy Jin An's body and make Jin An a lonely ghost. As a result, he died here mysteriously without a single wound on his body.
The camels held by Qi Bo and ready to leave Xiaoshi Village at any time also heard Qi Bo's muttering.
"Fourth uncle, I also think Yiyun Apa and Taoist Master Jin'an are a good match. I remember there is a saying among the Han people, why do you ask a woman to sing..." Little Sahafu thought hard and couldn't remember the complicated idioms of the Han people. .
Old Sadiq looked at the man and woman sitting quietly in the room, and glanced at his own nephew: "Wife sings and husband follows?"
Little Sahafu nodded fiercely: "Yes, it's just a woman singing along with her husband!"
Old Sadiq glared at him fiercely, "For your size, that's called a husband's wife's obedience! I usually ask you to pay more attention to study the Han culture, but you always think that you are proficient in all the Han culture after learning a few hundred Chinese characters. All you do is know all day long. Eat, eat, eat, asking you to eat, drink, have diarrhea and sleep is more positive than anything else!"
Ilham on the side looked at the little Sahab who was scolded by the old Sadiq and couldn't hold his head up. He felt that the little Sahab was too pitiful, so he explained to the little Sahab: "We were standing outside the door just now and eavesdropped. Mr. Yiyun came to the Western Regions before Taoist Priest Jin'an, and it was half a year before Taoist Jin'an met Mr. Yiyun, who was thousands of miles away. If we insist that it was a woman who followed her husband, it would make sense."
Little Sahav immediately cast a grateful look at Ilham.
Both had tears in their eyes.
It's rare to find a close friend in life.
Although this confidant is a bit old, isn't it normal to have friends year after year?
"Young Master Yiyun, you want to call him Yiyun Apa." Old Sadiq corrected him.
"!"
Ilham is really hard to talk about.
He wanted to correct that the meaning of "Master's Wife" in the Han people was completely different from that of "Apa" in the Western Regions, which meant mother.
Mr. Yiyun is obviously not married yet, so if he is asked to call a young girl his mother at this age, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he really can't say this.
But if he doesn't shout along, he will appear to be a heretic.
After squirming for a long time...
"Yiyun...Ah, Appa..."
"Cough, cough!" Ilham had just finished shouting. Qibo beside him seemed to be choking on his saliva. He coughed excitedly, and his face turned red. He kept hammering his chest with his hands, and finally managed to catch his breath.
Old Sadiq and the others are not fools either.
Qibo's cough startled them.
"Fourth, fourth uncle, can this Qi Bo also understand what we are saying?"
"It's very...possible...even Yiyun Apa can understand our words, and Qi Bo who is waiting beside her will definitely be able to understand our words..."
"Qi Bo, Qi Bo..." Little Sahafu tried to shout twice carefully.
Qi Bo pretended not to hear.
Just when several camels were chatting animatedly, suddenly, amidst the heat wave of the fire, a dark wind blew into the room. Then, Jin An, who had been sitting motionless with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He suddenly stood up: "This Laughing Corpse Village is about to be completely swallowed up by fire. Come on, let's leave here right away."
Jin An walked out of the house and saw Qi Bo, who had packed his bags and was waiting outside the door with his goat and camel. He cupped his hands and fisted at Qi Bo: "They say that an old man in a family is like a treasure, but Qi Bo thought carefully. "
Next, with Jin An leading the way, the group led the sheep and camels and began to escape to Laughing Corpse Manor. On the way, Jin An did not hide anything and recounted what happened after his soul left the body.
When they heard that Jin An was indeed responsible for the fire at Xiaoshi Village, neither Master Yiyun nor Qi Bo had any surprise or surprise on their faces.
They had already guessed this result.
On the contrary, when he heard that Jin An had defeated the other party's three major feng shui tactics, and the other party had even introduced corpse ropes, corpse suppressing charms, and methods of opening altars, but failed to suppress the vicious corpse on Jin An's upper body, Qi Bo was speechless: "Old slave, why do I suddenly feel sympathy for the righteous people?"
"In the storytellers' eyes, it has always been the practice of righteous people to seal evil corpses and eliminate harm for the people. When it comes to Taoist Priest Jin'an, the old slave wonders why it means 'the vicissitudes of the righteous path, the devil is ten feet tall'?" The good partner is a demon, Taoist Master Jin'an, you are the right way."
Fortunately, Jin An is the right one.
If you take the wrong path.
When he dies one day in the future, he will definitely be the King of Evil Corpses, who is more ferocious than the Evil Corpse.
He was so fierce when he was alive, wouldn't he be even more fierce after death?
"Taoist Master Jin'an is blessed by General Dingjia. As long as you stick to yourself, be upright, and don't do anything bad, General Dingjia will evaporate his soul and blood day and night." After hearing Jin'an's experience tonight , Young Master Yiyun also looked at Jin An with admiration.
Jin An was surprised: "Oh? What else can Mr. Yiyun see in me?"
Young Master Yiyun's lips curled up slightly, but he did not answer.
Old Sadiq winked at his nephew: "Don't look around and learn more."
Little Sahav was confused: "What to study?"
Old Sadiq looked like he hated iron and steel: "Do you know why you are still single and can't find a wife? Why can't you let my sister have a grandson as soon as possible? Learn more from Taoist Jin'an and Yiyun Apa. Male pursuit Women are separated from each other, women are chasing men, and Taoist priest Jin An not only has Taoist skills that you need to learn, but also how to talk to girls."
Little Sahafu: "How can I make a girl angry like Taoist Master Jin'an?"
Old Sadiq: "!"
This time, he couldn't use the horns to attack his nephew. He could only get angry and itched his teeth: "I finally understand why you are still single, nephew."
Since the two of them were frightened by Mr. Yiyun's glance in the middle of the night, when they chatted about Mr. Yiyun in private, they all changed to Western dialect.
…
…
The fire in Laughing Corpse Manor burned for most of a long time before it gradually extinguished. At this time, Laughing Corpse Manor had been reduced to nothing, with only ruined walls and charred and collapsed wooden beams left. Jin An let the fire burn completely.
"The Nine Peaks lineage! I, Black Rain Nation and Laughing Corpse Manor, share this hatred with you!"
The veterans who ran out in blackened clothes knelt in front of the burned-out ruins of the stockade with a few wisps of green smoke still floating around, and knelt down to swear an oath.
In fact, the death of Mr. Jiufeng may not be all bad. At least they will no longer be forced to eat the problematic camel meat, and these veterans are finally forced out of the Laughing Corpse Manor. The only thing these veterans will do next is The only way out is the Wuer clan ruins. Lord Yan has no feelings for the Jiu Feng lineage. The death of the Jiu Feng lineage is somewhat worthwhile, at least it is not all bad.
If it hadn't been for the dirty laundry, it would have been quite satisfying for Old Man Jiufeng to do something he didn't dare to do. He would have been unhappy with the camel meat for a long time.
It is strange to say that the two parties who were fighting to the death last night were still able to get along harmoniously after meeting again outside the ruins of Laughing Corpse Manor during the day. No one mentioned what happened last night, as if nothing happened. Pass.
The Laughing Corpse Manor was destroyed, and after the veterans said a few more innocuous and harsh words, the group continued on the road, this time going straight to the ruins of the Wuer clan.
Laughing Corpse Village was built against a huge boulder. As soon as you stepped out of the shadow of the boulder, the scorching heat of the sun above your head once again made your eyes dizzy.
The temperature of the sand beneath my feet was already boiling hot, and the temperature in this desert was already so high that it was unbearable.
"The location of the Laughing Corpse Village is well chosen. It has a large rock on its back so that you can enjoy the shade. But what I'm more curious about is, how come there is such a huge boulder in the deepest part of the desert?"
This time traveling with a large team, Jin An chose to ride a sheep: "Master Yiyun, you and Qi Bo went into the desert. Why did I only see you two? Don't you bring a local guide and translator?"
Qi Bo, who was riding a camel and bumping along, turned to look at Jin An, who was almost as tall as him even if he was riding a sheep, and said with a smile: "Taoist priest Jin An doesn't know something, my young master has been very smart since he was a child. , and like to travel around the world, and Kangding State is bordered by many surrounding countries, and has prosperous business contacts with merchants from various countries since ancient times, so it can speak many languages. For example, the civilization of the Western Regions is one of my young master’s hobbies. "
Jin An was thoughtful.
Being able to gather businessmen from all over the world, it seems that Mr. Yiyun is also from the capital.
Multilingual? Old Sadiq and young Sahav were both stunned, and the hay they had been chewing suddenly lost its aroma.
When Jin An came, there were only one person, one sheep and three camels. This time, there were dozens more people and dozens of camels in the team. After walking in the hot Gobi desert for half a day, Jin An finally understood why there was a place like Laughing Corpse Village. A huge boulder.
Because the Holy Mountain of Guchi State resists the wind and sand from the Kunlun Mountain Pass, the desert in this desert basin is swallowed up slower than in other places, and the magical Yadan landform appears deep in the desert basin.
Laughing Corpse Village is the boundary monument of Yadan landform.
