In a village, more than a hundred houses are built against the mountain, forming a semicircle.
In the innermost three-story wooden building, dozens of people were sitting together, sitting upright with nervous expressions. They looked at the man and woman on the main seat and were trembling in their hearts.
These two people were Jiang Lin and the others. Unexpectedly, they were stopped and robbed as soon as they walked out of the desert. This made Jiang Lin feel a little interesting. He didn't expect to meet "comrades" here.
So Jiang Lin took a little action and beat these people until they cried for father and mother, and took them back to their lair.
After entering the den of thieves, the bandits took advantage of their large numbers and tried to take action. As a result, Jiang Lin killed more than twenty people in a row. He was so frightened that he immediately put down his weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
These people's kung fu can't even be considered as fancy tricks. They are no different from street gangsters. They can just rely on the strength of the crowd to scare those who are on their way, but they will definitely not be able to do it when they encounter a ruthless person like Jiang Lin.
Jiang and Lin sat there, feasting, chatting and laughing, without any concern for the group of bandits sitting next to them, and there were people on both sides pouring wine and serving food.
Compared with Jiang Lin's food appearance, Wang Lin is much more dignified. She doesn't have to worry about being hunted down by the Song family all the time. Here she can also have a relaxing meal, and her precautions are relieved a lot.
At this moment, Jiang Lin seemed to remember something, pointed to the person below and said, "Are you ready for me to ask you to arrange things?"
The person who was called got excited, stood up in a hurry and came forward and said: "Grandpa, everything has been prepared according to your instructions, two high-quality fast horses and some dry food, but we can't get a hundred taels of gold together. It’s all the gold in our village.”
As he said this, the man took out a small cloth bag from the side, opened it and poured out all the contents. There was gold all over the place, different sizes, and some jewelry.
The reason why I want gold is because this trip will not pass through South Vietnam, so the business tickets on Wang Lin's body are no different from waste paper. People on this journey must be fed by horses, so they definitely need a little tenderness.
"That's it? Am I so easy to fool?" Jiang Lin threw a cup and roared angrily, scaring everyone in the room to kneel down and beg for mercy. One of them even quickly explained: "Grandpa doesn't know something. In the past two years, There are zombies all the time. Many people avoid this section when they are on their way. Our life is not easy. Please forgive me, grandpa..."
Jiang Lin frowned and asked Wang Lin, "Do you know about this?"
Wang Lin was also confused, but she smiled bitterly and said: "Although this place is not far from South Vietnam, it is still in the border area. How can I know everything?"
Jiang Lin nodded and asked one of them: "Tell me more specifically, where are the zombies and what's going on?"
Hearing Jiang Lin's inquiry, these people let out a sigh of relief and began to chatter and talk in a lively manner. Wang Lin on the side frowned more and more as she listened.
The place more than two hundred miles ahead belongs to the southern border area of South Vietnam. More than a year ago, there were rumors that there were zombies there. At first, they thought it was a story deliberately fabricated by the army to control the refugees, but this time For more than a year, people were repeatedly killed and died in extremely miserable conditions. All the essence and blood were sucked out of their bodies. Almost all the surrounding villages and towns were moved away for fear of disaster.
Later, the South Vietnamese army launched an encirclement and suppression campaign, but failed to achieve any results, and then simply ignored the matter.
After passing the news to ten and passing it hundreds of times, very few people dared to go there. Even if they took a few months, they chose to take a detour. After all, it was a waste of time, but what they saved was their own lives.
Jiang Lin looked at Wang Lin and asked, "What do you think?"
"No matter how dangerous zombies are, are they more terrifying than the people of the Song family? These people are timid by nature and will add jealousy to anything they encounter. Even if there are really zombies, it is reasonable. The current situation in southern Xinjiang is turbulent, and South Vietnam The country has always been at odds with its surrounding neighbors, and there are often fights and casualties. There must be some evil things breeding in the Yin Qi, and the strength is not too strong. There is no need for us to take a detour." Wang Lin explained, analyzing in extremely detail.
Jiang Lin had no objection. He ordered the people below to prepare their things and continue on the road after a night's rest.
After a night of silence, the two of them left here on horseback at sunrise. The bandit in the village was relieved after the two of them left, and then cursed angrily: "What a damn bad luck, I thought it was a fat sheep, but I didn't Thinking that he is an evil star, haven't you seen his methods? Killing our brothers is no different from killing a chicken. If our brothers hadn't knelt down earlier, I'm afraid they would have died talking here now."
Others were still frightened when they recalled what happened yesterday. Another person snorted coldly: "This couple must think we are bluffing him. He will know when we go there. He happened to be killed by a zombie and avenged our brother."
At this time, Kung Fu, Jiang and Lin have traveled a long way. These two horses are indeed rare good horses. They gallop with all four hooves and are extremely fast. Although they cannot travel thousands of miles a day, they can travel hundreds of miles a day without any problem. .
After galloping all day long, the two of them slowed down as the sky grew dark and began to look for a place to spend the night.
After walking around, the two saw an abandoned village with more than a dozen households. However, it was dilapidated and no one had been there for a long time.
The two dismounted and found a relatively intact house. After tying the horses, they began to find a place to light a fire and rest.
Wang Lin dusted off the dust on her body, sat casually on the ground, looked at the simple furnishings in the room, and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for people living here..."
"Looking at it now, it doesn't seem like a blessing." Jiang Lin said jokingly.
Wang Lin laughed noncommittally: "In the past, when the Nanyue Kingdom was at peace with its surrounding tribal neighbors, this road was very busy. People could make a fortune by making tea and selling water on the roadside. There have been more frictions in the past ten years. These people It was only then that things got worse.”
"Since there are immortal masters serving in Nanyue, why aren't there in other places?"
Wang Lin chuckled: "Young Master, the word "efficiency" is too strong. The Nanyue Kingdom's enshrinement of the Immortal Master is only to intimidate, not to take action. If this Immortal Master was not also from the Nanyue Kingdom, and had some blood ties, and his own lifespan is short, what else would happen? I will stay in a place like this."
Jiang Lin nodded in agreement. In the eyes of those monks, there was no difference between mortals and ants. He recalled that the monks at Shuangjiao Peak killed many people as bait in order to capture the blood spirits. If Jiang Lin hadn't been lucky, he might have died. The bodies are now reduced to ashes.
While chatting, a series of crisp ringtones came from not far away.
"Who could it be at this late hour?" Wang Lin stood up, but she couldn't see anything in the dark night.
"A few Taoist priests." Jiang Lin looked at them and said.
Wang Lin didn't know how Jiang Lin saw it, but after a while, four people came towards them, three young and one old. One of them was covered with red ropes with large and small bells strung on them. Every step he took, Makes a crisp sound.
These four people were wearing Taoist robes, two were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, and wore square scarves on their heads. They did not look like evil people.
These people came over, and the older man bowed his hands and saluted and said: "Two little friends, Lao Chen and others are Taoist priests from Confucius Mountain. I was passing by and wanted to borrow some kindling to make a fire and sleep here for a night. Can it be convenient? .”
The old man's voice was dignified and generous, which made people feel good. Jiang Lin didn't say anything, and casually took out a torch and handed it over.
"Thank you." The old man took the torch and started to light a fire with the other three people not far away. A young man took out a string of bells from a bamboo basket and hung them on the door beam not far away. There was also a picture on the bell. Light yellow talisman paper.
After making a fire, these people simply ate something. When they saw Jiang and Lin sleeping here late at night, the old man reminded: "You two, there are zombies around here. You must leave here as soon as possible after dawn, otherwise I'm afraid There will be danger.”
"Thank you for the reminder, master. Did these masters come down the mountain specifically to catch zombies?" Wang Lin said politely.
The younger Taoist priest next to him took over: "Yes, it is the responsibility of us monks to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. This zombie has already killed many people. We must eradicate it as soon as possible to prevent more people from suffering."
"Is this zombie very powerful?" Jiang Lin asked. Jiang Lin didn't know much about this kind of evil thing.
The old man nodded and said in a solemn tone: "I heard from the people nearby that this beast has great supernatural powers, can move like the wind, is powerful, and is indestructible to swords. We have found traces of it not long ago, but later I lost him and chased him all the way here."
While they were talking, Jiang Lin's eyes suddenly froze, and then a string of bells not far away began to rattle and shake violently. The sound was particularly obvious in the silent night.
When the bell rang, the old man stood up immediately, glanced around, and said to Jiang and Lin: "The zombies are coming, you hide, and we will deal with them!"
