It is indeed Yao Fujiang himself in front of him. If the cymbal was disguised, he would be able to tell the authenticity instantly just by the impact. After all, the cymbal is a spiritual body. Even if it can disguise itself as a human, once it comes into contact, it can still be easily determined through physical contact. .
There is no doubt that the impact is real, which means that the person in front of him is indeed Yao Fujiang, the young man with a flat head who should have been killed for a long time as expected.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he turned off the flashlight with his fingers. As the flashlight turned off and the light source disappeared, on the opposite side, Yao Fujiang, who had adapted to the darkness again, finally saw the opposite side clearly and saw who the person he had just bumped into was. It was also not someone else, and it was also not someone else. The other person is someone he has hated for a long time...
"You, you are... Zhao Ping!?"
………
Listening to the question from Yao Fujiang opposite, Zhao Ping replied coldly without comment: "It's me."
I thought that after confirming each other's identities, the other party would first describe the previous encounter, but unexpectedly, the development of the situation was completely beyond expectations. After Zhao Ping finished speaking, Yao Fujiang, who had just asked doubtfully, suddenly shouted with fear on his face as if he suddenly remembered something: " Oops! Quick, run!"
Faced with the panicked reaction of the flat-headed young man, Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically like the other man, as if he was recalling something. His body even made a move before the other man could, turning around and raising his legs as if to escape. .
There is no doubt that the man remembered the important point, thought of the key, and recalled the way Yao Fujiang ran away in panic at the beginning. .
However...
It's too late, it's still a little late. It's not that the man with glasses moves slower, but... Yao Fujiang just finished speaking. The next second, a dark wind rushed towards his face, and the coldness suddenly swept across. In the blink of an eye, he saw the patch of grass behind Yao Fujiang. A large group of people floated out of the darkness, a large group of people with gray bodies and transparent legs!
It’s densely packed all around!
Lonely souls, nearly a hundred lonely souls!
Faced with this sudden scene, and seeing a large number of lonely souls rushing towards him, Zhao Ping suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold and his limbs were cold. Although at first he guessed that there must be danger behind Yao Fujiang, he still did not expect that there would be a large number of people following him. The number of locusts is even more frightening. Not only are they chasing so fast, they are also dragging themselves into danger!
Of course, all of the above are just what Zhao Ping thought at the moment after seeing the lonely soul. In panic, he wanted to continue running away, but after losing the opportunity, he actually fell into a dead end and entered a desperate situation. Because of the large number, before the two central men could make any move, the many floating souls spread around in a fan shape and surrounded them. After blocking the exit of the already narrow mountain road, they quickly floated towards the prey. Floating towards Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang, who had no way to escape.
Things in the world are unpredictable and unpredictable. No one expected that the situation would turn out like this. In just a short moment, the two of them were surrounded by a swarm of worms!
"Grass!"
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhao Ping swore a rare curse word, then gritted his teeth and took action. He immediately reached into his arms and took out the last five Taoist talismans on his body, without any reservation!
It's not that he doesn't know how to retain, but that there are too many worms that force him to keep them. After all, the past experiences are still in his mind. I don't know if it's because Chen Xiaoyao's Taoism is limited or because the power of Tao talismans is so. After encountering worms several times during the day, The man with glasses discovered that although these things, which Taoist Chen called strengthened Taoist charms, could repel locusts, the effect was not as good as expected. Within 10 ghosts could be driven away with one Taoist charm, and if there were more than 10 souls, one more Taoist charm would be required. Zhang, otherwise the effect will be greatly weakened, and there are dozens or hundreds of lonely souls surrounding it at this moment. If you choose to keep it at this time, it will really be an old lady hanging yourself.
what's the result?
As a result, Zhao Ping's decisiveness saved him in time, and by the way, Yao Fujiang who was with him was saved.
Wow.
In the lightning flash, just when the group of ferocious lonely souls were about to pounce on the two of them, as all five Taoist talismans were sacrificed, and as the five talisman papers spontaneously ignited collectively, a large number of lonely souls were seen surrounding them. As if being suddenly swept by a strong wind, the wind automatically scattered and flew upside down, like plastic bags thrown out one by one, drifting away without a trace in the wind. The superimposed power of the five Taoist talismans drove them away in an instant and disappeared on the spot. dark.
The oyster swarm disappears and the crisis is resolved.
However, this also means that Zhao Ping's last few life-saving talismans have been exhausted. .
After confirming that the crisis was gone, Yao Fujiang was stunned. He was overjoyed and said, "That's great. I didn't expect that you still have the Taoist talisman. It was so close just now, so close!"
As mentioned above, Yao Fujiang, who thought he would die this time, was overjoyed when he discovered that Zhao Ping had used Taoist talismans to drive away the swarms of worms. Even though his body was weak and shaky, he still cheered for his escape from death, and then used a disaster The tone of Hou Yusheng instinctively expressed gratitude to the man with glasses.
The only strange thing is...
At this moment, listening to Yao Fujiang's nonsense and watching the other party's rejoicing look, Zhao Ping did not rejoice or cheer, but instead froze in place without saying a word. His expression was ugly, extremely ugly.
He lowered his head slightly, and finally glanced at the remains of the Taoist talisman in his hand that had long since turned to ashes. During the silence, the muscles on the man's face twitched unconsciously for a few times, and then he quietly moved away, secretly turning his eyes to the opposite side, where he was sitting on the ground wiping his hands. Yao Fujiang, who was sweating coldly, inadvertently, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
………
Zhao Ping was angry.
This is said to be true, and it is also true in reality. Currently, the man with glasses is full of anger, full of dissatisfaction, and full of anger towards Yao Fujiang, because...
It was this guy's sudden appearance that involved him in the crisis. It was this guy's attraction of lonely souls that caused him to consume all the few Taoist talismans he had left!
It was said earlier that Zhao Ping had made up his mind. Because there were a large number of underworld soldiers in front of the Judge's Temple, the man no longer had any hope of obtaining the soul-calling flag. Because of this, he made a decision after careful consideration. He decided to go down the mountain, and the last five Taoist charms on his body were just for emergency use when he went down the mountain. However, things are unpredictable and God's will is unpredictable. Before long, he bumped into Yao Fujiang, who had been missing for a long time. That was all. Unexpectedly, the other party also attracted a large group of lonely souls, and finally forced himself to use up the remaining Taoist talismans.
Without the Taoist talisman, if he wanted to continue going down the mountain, he would have to rely on personal props. Admittedly during the day, he had considered relying on personal props to go down the mountain alone, but as he thought more deeply, he soon realized that personal props alone would not be enough. The reason is very simple. Although he owns two props, a bright bead and a supernatural camera, both of them have flaws. For example, although the supernatural camera can temporarily immobilize the worm, it can only It has been used three times. Not only that, but what is even more regrettable is that the shooting range of the supernatural camera is also limited by the screen viewing angle and has a single direction. If it is surrounded by hawks, the supernatural camera will be unable to look around due to the limitation of the lens.
As for the dazzling beads...
Powerful, extremely powerful, or in other words, this special item is invincible and has invincible defense. As long as it is used, it will be able to protect you completely for half an hour. However, what can this do? The disadvantage of being unable to move after use is not suitable for running away. Especially for me who is eager to go down the mountain at this moment, the power of the beads is completely meaningless. This fundamentally proves that this prop is completely unsuitable for use in escape, let alone the distance between the beads. Not long after it was first used, it is still in a cooling state, which means that it cannot be used even if it is wanted to.
The above is the real reason why Zhao Ping keeps those five Dao Talismans. Yes, the personal props have obvious flaws. If you want to go down the mountain safely, you must rely on the Dao Talisman. Although these are not powerful, they are not very flawed. Taoist symbols. .
What about now?
The plan was ruined, disrupted, and completely disrupted by a guy named Yao Fujiang.
The last few Taoist talismans were used up, and I dared to go down the mountain with only a supernatural camera. It was too dangerous, and I would die unexpectedly if I was not careful. Even so, it meant that I had lost the possibility of going down the mountain at this moment. Escape.
The plan to go down the mountain was aborted.
His brain was working rapidly, and his thoughts were shifting frequently. After thinking through the above issues, Zhao Ping came back from his meditation, and then showed a calm look that was completely opposite to the anger in his heart. He had a calm face and an indifferent expression.
He was about to say something, but on the other side, Yao Fujiang, who might have overcome his initial panic, had already asked him a question: "By the way, why didn't you see Chen Xiaoyao? Isn't he with you?"
After listening to the young man's question, Zhao Ping was silent for a moment, raised his hand to adjust his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and finally replied calmly in a rhetorical tone: "Do you want to see Chen Xiaoyao?"
Huh?
Seeing the strange way the man with glasses answered, he was slightly startled. Yao Fujiang suddenly felt puzzled. He seemed to hear another meaning in the other person's words, so he asked as if he had some understanding: "What do you mean by that? Do you know?" Where is Chen Xiaoyao? Could it be that you two have already been to the Judge's Temple?".
"Well, we did arrive, but because I wasn't feeling well at the time, Chen Xiaoyao asked me to wait where I was, while he rushed to the Judge's Temple alone. I was waiting for him here when you bumped into me before."
As expected, after hearing the other party's answer, Yao Fujiang was surprised at first, and then his face showed joy, and he became happy. Yes, he couldn't help but be unhappy. After all, the ultimate goal of the three of them on this trip to Yinshan was to go to the Judge's Temple to get the soul-calling flag. Unexpectedly, Chen and Zhao found the Judge's Temple before them, and Chen Xiaoyao had also entered the temple. It would not take long for them to come out. The three people who had completed the task would undoubtedly have to go down the mountain together. They just had to be careful along the way and leave. Yinshan shouldn’t have much of a problem.
However, just as the flat-headed young man was feeling delighted, across from him, Zhao Ping, who had just spoken indifferently, changed his expression and changed his subject:
"only……"
"He has been in there for a while, almost half an hour has passed, and he still hasn't come back."
After hearing what the man with glasses added at the end, Yao Fujiang turned from joy to worry, and he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. He was surprised that the young Taoist priest hadn't returned for a long time. Yes, why hadn't he returned? It's just a temple. If you go in and take out the soul-calling flag, won't it end? Why haven't you returned for so long? .
"this……"
He looked around and observed the words and expressions. Just when Yao Fujiang looked suspicious and confused, Zhao Ping, who had been observing for a long time, spoke again and made a good suggestion: "Waiting is not an option. How about this? I will take you." Go and have a look?"
Yao Fujiang nodded instinctively in agreement. After all, he had a near-death experience at the end of the day. Not to mention the various dangers he encountered on the way, his purpose was just to rush to the Judge's Temple. Since Chen and Zhao had discovered the Judge's Temple first and Chen Xiaoyao I have also entered, so it undoubtedly means that there should be no danger around the Judge's Temple, not to mention that after finally coming here, I feel a little unwilling not to go in and take a look.
"Uh, okay, by the way, where is the Judge's Temple?"
"It's not far, just ahead, through a forest. Follow me."
The decision was made, and soon the two began to move. Under the leadership of Zhao Ping, they walked forward one after the other, towards the woods behind them, and walked closer to the location of the Judge's Temple.
During the walk, Yao Fujiang did not notice any details because he was located at the rear...
That is, during the walk, Zhao Ping, who was leading the way, had a cold face, and his eyes were filled with cold light under his lenses.
………
Hooray, hooray.
The howling mountain wind has never stopped, no, it has not stopped, but it has been there for a long time. Not only has it existed, it is even more violent than when it rains during the day. It is especially cold in this autumn season, and it makes people shiver. , the cold person's body becomes numb.
In such an environment, everyone would be filled with chills and tremble endlessly. Others were like this, and so was Chen Xiaoyao. It could be clearly seen from the young man's trembling body at this moment.
It's a pity that those who hold the above views are wrong. They are totally wrong. The young man is indeed shaking, but in fact he is not cold. Or perhaps the reason why he is shaking frequently is not from the mountain wind, but from being frightened. I was so frightened! .
This is the first time Chen Xiaoyao has been truly scared so far, and the first time he has encountered a life-and-death crisis.
"Hoo, ho, ho."
Under the hazy night, accompanied by a dull breathing, somewhere in the woods, Chen Xiaoyao was hiding behind a tree, sitting and panting, cold sweat flowing continuously, and finally dripping across his forehead and dripping to the ground.
He tried hard to adjust his breathing evenly. After a few seconds, he seemed to notice something. His face froze, and then he stood up and moved. He quickly dodged with strange steps that were difficult and unfamiliar for ordinary people, and quickly moved to another tree in front of him. , its back leaned against the big tree and never moved.
It was too late, but it was so fast. Just as Chen Xiaoyao had just moved his position, not long after, something appeared in the dark night behind the woods. Skeletons appeared. Skeletons of soldiers wearing armor floating in the air floated there.
Yin soldiers!
It was the large number of Yin soldiers who had chased from the general's grave earlier!
There are indeed a lot of Yin soldiers. Although the specific number cannot be known in the dark night, preliminary estimates suggest that the total number of Yin soldiers currently searching in the woods should be no less than two hundred.
Yes, these Yin soldiers are in a state of search, searching in an organized and disciplined manner like a human army!
Looking for whom? Who to search for?
you still need to ask? He is 100% looking for himself, searching for himself, and completely killing this young man who dares to approach the general's grave! ! !
The Yin Qi gradually spread and spread through the woods along with many Yin soldiers. Behind, the Yin soldiers were scattered in search of each other. In front, Chen Xiaoyao, who was hiding behind a tree, was sweating coldly and his heart was beating wildly. Although at first, eight Yin soldiers were killed in front of the general's grave. He had escaped in time when the guards attacked, but he still didn't expect that the other party would give him a vicious attack. The group of Yin soldiers who followed him directly started to hunt him, and they glanced sideways in fear. I saw those Yin soldiers looking around. There is no doubt that the other party is looking for me, desperately searching for me. Once discovered by these things, my hope of survival is basically zero. After all, Yin soldiers are different from animals. You If you don't violate 'their' duties, 'they' won't attack you. However, once you do, you can only pray that you have better legs and feet. Yin soldiers are faster than lonely souls. It's hard to escape from the pursuit of these things. Extremely difficult.
Perhaps the only good thing is that the Yin soldiers have poor perception, and like the lonely souls, they cannot accurately locate the location of a living person. .
Yes, through observations during his earlier escape, Chen Xiaoyao has roughly determined that the Yin soldiers are similar to Guhun except for their extremely strong discipline and speed. At least they cannot accurately find the location of human beings. Of course, if they insist on it, Talking about other differences, there are still differences. For example, when Yin soldiers kill people, they will not slowly absorb the vitality of living people like the ghosts. Instead, they will kill people with weapons. They will kill with one blow, neatly and without any sloppiness. The purpose is I just want to kill you! The best example is the eight Yin soldier guards who slashed with their swords without saying a word. .
Although there are many speculations, in fact, Chen Xiaoyao only knows about the Yin soldiers. Except for knowing the origin of the Yin soldiers from his master, he knows nothing about the abilities or characteristics of the Yin soldiers. , different from his previous understanding of the wolf, even though he is a Taoist priest, this is the first time in his life that he has encountered a special spirit entity like the Yin Soldier that is independent of the wolf system. Even so, it is precisely because of his understanding of this kind of spirit. The lack of deep understanding of things leads to me falling here, feeling helpless and not even knowing how to deal with it.
It really does agree with that sentence, the unknown is the most deadly and the most terrifying!
To give a simple example, if the people who are following Chen Xiaoyao are not Yin soldiers but a group of lonely souls, then with his familiarity and understanding of the lonely souls, he must have many ways to deal with them and get rid of them. Unfortunately, now Different, completely different. The one chasing behind him now is the Yin soldiers. He doesn't know much about the Yin soldiers. He only knows that the opponent's speed is far faster than that of the lonely soul, and the speed is basically the same as that of a human being. This is why he chooses to hide at this moment instead of running. The key factor in continuing to escape is because he clearly knows that he cannot outrun the opponent. If he keeps running in a panic, he believes that it will not be long before he is exhausted and killed by the Yin soldiers.
Ever since, Chen Xiaoyao very wisely chose to hide, thinking that as long as he was alert enough, he would have a high chance of escaping. .
After quickly analyzing everything, Chen Xiaoyao suppressed his fear and continued to move. He exposed half of his head and looked behind him. He saw that thirty meters away, the Yin soldiers had completely dispersed. They split up to search everywhere in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Shuttle, only a few continue to float forward.
(Sure enough, I guessed it right. They are indeed spirits transformed from the army. Although the Yin soldiers have no sentience, they know how to divide labor and cooperate with their numerical advantage. This alone is far stronger than those lonely souls who are confused. I must not be careless, otherwise I will never escape this disaster!)
At this moment, he saw three Yin soldiers looking left and right slowly floating towards him from behind. Behind the tree, Chen Xiaoyao moved again. He stepped out of the way and suddenly jumped out while the Yin soldiers turned around. He quickly moved away before the enemy could get closer. Position, he ducked behind a new tree in the blink of an eye at a speed that was as fast as an afterimage, and then continued to duck, and so on, continuing to expand the distance between the two parties.
They retreated nearly a hundred meters until the three Yin soldiers disappeared into the night behind them.
"call!"
He patted his chest lightly, suppressed his breathing, and moved around again. After hiding under a tree again, perhaps because he thought the distance was far enough, Chen Xiaoyao chose to rest. He took a short rest, glanced sideways, and waited until he was basically After confirming that the surrounding Yin soldiers would not be able to find this place for a while, he immediately began to think and conduct a focused analysis on a certain problem. .
(It’s really God’s fault. After a lot of hard work along the way, I finally found the Judge’s Temple. I was almost done. Unexpectedly, there was a general’s tomb next to the Judge’s Temple that no one should approach. ! Trouble, trouble. If you want to enter the Judge's Temple, you have to pass through the General's Tomb, but there are so many Yin soldiers around the General's Tomb who kill everyone on sight... What should I do? What should I do? Even if I get rid of it Yin soldiers are chasing after them, but how can they get the soul-calling flags in the temple? How about waiting all night? Waiting for the day to think of a solution? No, there are too many lonely souls in Yin Mountain. Although there are Yin soldiers in the General's Tomb at night, so As a result, the lonely souls dare not approach, but who can guarantee that it will still be like this during the day? Although the general's grave will not release the Yin soldiers during the day, once the Yin soldiers are no longer deterrent, the lonely souls and wild hoppers all over the mountains and plains will float in...)
(Not during the day. The risk is too great. You can’t wait until daytime. What’s more, the longer the time is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for the executor. The truth is correct, but there are dark soldiers at night, so it’s hard to get through!)
Because his thoughts were too entangled, Chen Xiaoyao's mentality gradually exploded, and he unknowingly fell into a state of selflessness, then ignored his surroundings and relaxed his vigilance.
(Phew, forget it, since you can’t think of a solution, just don’t think about it for the time being. Wait for a while, and then discuss it with Zhao Jingzi after you find Zhao Jingzi, who specializes in cheating teammates. Although that guy is despicable, but My brain is really good... Uh, huh? Next to it, what’s next to it?)
For some reason, behind the tree, while Chen Xiaoyao was thinking hard, his eyes turned slightly. Unintentionally, through the corner of his eye, he saw something, discovered something, and found that there was an extra person on the left side of him. Black blurry stuff.
In the midst of doubts, out of instinct, Chen Xiaoyao turned his head to the side and looked directly at the things around him.
Then [fo]…
He saw a face and eyes.
A skeleton face without flesh, a pair of dull black eyes.
