Liang Xingyang asked the old woman where she lived now and who else was in the family. The old woman burst into tears: "My family was originally from Guchang Prefecture. Two years ago, my wife was working as a corvee repairing a copper furnace and was hit to death by a brick. The Bone Army made a fuss, and the three of them were killed. The three sons were dragged to defend the city, and they all died on the city wall. The city was broken, and the Bone Army came in and took away the three daughters-in-law and their four young grandchildren.
I used to be a "fit woman camp", cooking for the military men. All the way from Guchang to here, I couldn't walk, let alone walk, and couldn't crawl, so I was left behind. I had no food to eat. I ate wild vegetables and leaves in the forest for several months. I couldn't bear it. There was a war between the two armies here a few days ago. There was no movement these days and no one came to collect the bodies. I came here to pick up something. , see if we can find something to eat. "
Liang Xingyang looked at the old woman's black iron-like skin and bones, and then at the corpses spread all over the floor. He couldn't bear it. He sighed, took off a porcelain bottle from his waist, and poured out two pills: "Grandma, take this." , which can temporarily satisfy your hunger.”
His Bigu Pill is made from Polygonatum sibiricum, Poria cocos, ginseng, pine nuts, etc. that have been grown in the mountains for more than a hundred years, repeatedly steamed, sun-fried, ground into powder, and then refined with white honey. He held the pills with his hand, nodded and bowed with tears: "Thank you, young master! You are a good man! You will live a long life!"
Liang Xingyang looked east and west and saw that the evil spirits all over the sky were gathering in the county town. He said to the old woman: "Grandma, please wait here for a while. I will go into the city to have a look, and then I will send you to Yuping City in the north. You won’t be hungry when you get there.”
The old lady had lost all her teeth. She stuffed the pill into her mouth and said, "Young Master, go back quickly."
They were at the north gate of the county seat. Liang Xingyang walked quickly into the county seat, stepping on the wind.
This city has also experienced looting. All valuables and food were taken away. People were also kidnapped and captured by bone thieves. In order to prevent those people from escaping and returning to their hometowns, the thieves set fire to the city. Burnt, ruins everywhere, the city full of black ashes!
He saw the evil spirits gathering towards the end of the long street. He used the Xuan Qiong Escape Technique, raised his feet half a foot off the ground, and took one step to where he could see it.
Under a large archway, there is a white linen demon flag, which is carried on a long bamboo pole and is more than three feet high. The surface of the flag is made of white linen cloth that is larger than the quilt surface, and various weird symbols are drawn on it with blood. There is a skeleton standing on the top, and the skeleton is also "living", as if the flag is his body, constantly turning his head and opening his mouth, sucking the evil spirit flying from the battlefield into his mouth.
It turned out that the Bone Demons were making some evil magic weapons. Liang Xingyang released the fairy sword, and the lightning flashed away. The skull and the hemp banner below were split into two halves lengthwise, leaving only a yellowed bamboo pole still stuck in place. .
The flags were destroyed, and the surrounding Yin spirits no longer gathered here. At this time, the sun had set and the light of the sky had not yet disappeared. Once the Yin spirits dispersed, the sky became brighter again.
Liang Xingyang looked around again, and there was no sign of evil, so he turned back and wanted to send the old woman back to Yuping City.
Back at the city gate, the old woman disappeared, and many big rats appeared on the ground.
Each of these mice is as big as a pillow. Not counting their tails, their body length is about half a meter. They are fat, big, fierce and ruthless, and all of them have fierce eyes. They are densely packed, and there are at least thousands of them. Lying among the corpses and eating the flesh!
Liang Xingyang's fist hardened in an instant. He searched carefully and soon saw the tattered clothes the old woman was wearing just now, and then saw the old woman's skinny body. Her head was broken, her limbs were gone, and only a torso and four or five others were left. Rats gnawed around, and one got inside and gnawed at the internal organs.
Liang Xingyang angrily wanted to curse, but he couldn't. He could only blurt out the word "animal" and choked in his throat. These mice were originally animals, not even as good as animals!
He waved his hand, and the fairy sword was drawn out like an iron plow, plowing a furrow more than one meter deep. Wherever it passed, all the rats were chopped into pieces.
In fact, there is no need for him to take action. Those rats not only eat dead bodies, but also like to eat live animals. As a ten-year-old child like him standing here, to the sight and smell of the rats, it is fragrant and tender. They have already eaten a lot from the front, back, left and right. Come here.
Liang Xingyang first chopped to death the rat that was eating the old woman's body, and then with a backhand stroke, the sword light drew a long arc in front of him, cutting the more than thirty rats approaching in half in half.
His Pure Yang Immortal Sword was already extremely sharp, but after being fused with the Xuantian Qingyang Sword, it was a hundred times stronger than before. Looking at these mice, it was easier than chopping melons and vegetables. The sword he pointed at was shining brightly, all the way around. It was the jumping lightning, and the rats were torn to pieces one after another, and their corpses were scattered everywhere with blood.
In just a few minutes, at least thousands of mice were chopped to death. The remaining ones finally got scared and realized that this fragrant and tender little guy was not food, but a more terrifying existence than the one-horned anaconda in the mountains, so They turned around and ran away.
Liang Xing became angry and instinctively stepped into the air to chase down these rats.
Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind. If these rats scattered and went into the caves in the mountains and forests, he would not be able to kill them all. He could only kill the slow ones.
But he soon discovered that these mice did not scatter and run away, but seemed to gather together in an organized manner, jumping and jumping towards the southwest.
Liang Xingyang realized that these rats must have a den, and there was a high probability that there would be a rat king and a queen. That would be even better. He would follow them to find their den, find a way to kill them all, and exterminate them all, so as not to come out to harm people again. !
He put away the fairy sword and only used the escape method. He stepped two or three feet above the ground and followed the mice from a high position to see where they would run.
He originally thought that the mice would run into the mountains. The mice ran towards an open area. Their destination was not a mouse hole, but a human camp.
To be precise, it was a military camp, a camp where the Bone Thieves were stationed!
The Bone Army that I saw outside Yuping City all had uniform white linen cloaks, black leather armor, and a neat military appearance. Nowadays, this group is very shabby, with a total of more than 3,000 people, of which only four or five hundred are wearing armor, half of them are young and strong, and the rest are old people, women, and children. These people are responsible for lighting fires and cooking.
By this time night was falling, the fire had been lit, and the hot water in the stove was steaming with white steam.
In the cooking area, there are many large iron cages, and there are many large rats in the cages, all of which have the same coat color and appearance as the ones that just ate people.
Some cages were empty, and two bone mages were sitting in front of them, holding bone staffs with skulls on them. They were talking to each other: "Why are the rats running back when they haven't eaten enough?"
