Chapter 579 Gu Jieshuang wakes up
Buzz...
The soul stuck in Taixiao's fingertips shattered, and then, many layers of bloody halos continued to rise, surrounding the chariot, and the halo became more and more It became more and more dense, until it completely enveloped a spherical space. Then, all the halos shrank together, and everyone disappeared.
......
From Yu Cang's perspective, the bloody light surrounded the chariot and then dissipated in a short time. When he looked out again, the world had changed.
Yu Cang opened the door and got out of the car, looking far into the distance.
This is... the longevity account.
The location they are in is a mountain forest, probably halfway up a hill. Standing here and looking into the distance, there is a stretching plain at the foot of the mountain, and there are several low mountains in the distance. It's high, but not dangerous.
It can be seen that the terrain here is not good. It is said to be a grassland, but in fact the grass is sparse and large areas of bare ground can be seen in many places. The mountains and forests where they are located are mostly dry. The branches are in ruins, and the exposed branches are like dry bones, exuding a sense of decay everywhere.
Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the horizon not far away... I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he saw countless golden figures above the clouds, and the abundant golden light passed through The clouds fell on the human world.
However, Yu Cang couldn't see clearly.
Because the clouds were so thick, they seemed to form layers of tents. They were so thick that they blocked the sky and the sun. When the golden light fell, it was no different from the sun.
"Is that the direction of Lingguang Mountain?" Yu Cang thought thoughtfully.
The Changsheng Tent is divided into nine major tents, which are nine different different spaces, in which nine tribes of the Hunter tribe live respectively.
As soon as they entered the Tent of Eternal Life, if there was no one to guide them, they should be in the "Ninth Tent".
Yu Cang took a few steps forward, and then took a deep breath.
This was the first time he went abroad, and it was also a "smuggled" trip. He was inevitably a little curious and wanted to smell the air in this foreign country and how it was different from Yan country.
However, he was only halfway through taking a deep breath when a foul smell suddenly poured into his nasal cavity. This smell immediately blocked Yu Cang's strangeness. He didn't check for a moment, and his body trembled. , almost vomited on the spot.
"Holy shit, this smell..."
Yu Cang pinched his nose, frowned tightly, and forced to hold back his inner discomfort.
The smell is too strong... In this wilderness, is there something smelly nearby?
He stuck his head and looked in the direction of the smell. However, when he saw what it was, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
That's... a person.
In other words, half of the people.
The chest and abdomen were missing, dark red solidified blood stains spread all over the surrounding soil and vegetation, and the fractures in the chest and abdomen...the flesh and blood had long since dried up, but the ferocious tooth marks on the flesh and broken bones, It means that he may have been bitten off by something!
The eyes were empty, with nothing in them, and the blood stains nearby were extremely thick. It was likely that the eyes were gouged out before death.
The stench he smelled just now... was corpse stench!
Yu Cang waved his hand in front of his nose, his brows furrowed to the extreme.
I saw a corpse as soon as I landed... Is it a coincidence? Or is this the common situation in the Everlasting Account now?
However, there are strange things everywhere on this corpse.
The bite marks looked like they were made by wild animals, but the way the eyes were gouged out looked like they were man-made.
Yu Cang couldn't understand, but he had no intention of finding out the truth about a strange corpse.
Stepping back a few steps, a soul card slipped from Yu Cang's palm. Before it landed on the ground, it turned into a torrent of information, and finally crashed into a small anchor ring.
Summon the Mustard Seed Flying Air Gu, and use it as a material to connect and summon the consciousness-devouring insect, Kong!
The little insect lowered his head at Yu Cang's feet, and after silently listening to Yu Cang's order in his heart, he turned and left.
The ability to fly is very suitable for reconnaissance in the wild.
When this soul card is only connected to your own soul energy well, the control distance can reach infinite. It is truly unlimited and you can go wherever you want.
A small bug does not attract any extra attention.
However, at this time, the task he gave Kong was not only to detect intelligence... but also to open a way.
There are still chess pieces in the team, and he doesn't want to see corpses protruding from their faces like this again on the way...so he lets Kong go ahead and deal with the corpses he encounters.
Yu Cang pinched his nose and returned to the chariot. At this time, Qiu Jindong threw out a soul card, and the invisible barrier quickly opened. Suddenly, Yu Cang felt that the stench lingering at the tip of his nose was affected by this barrier. I squeezed it out directly, and when I breathed again, there was nothing strange.
Qiu Jindong looked into the distance and sighed: "This eternal tent... is full of miserable people."
Yu Cang: "...It's a pity that we can't do anything. "
"Well...I hope to see Emperor Khan."
Yu Cang nodded, and then looked to Lou Yan aside.
After entering the Everlasting Tent, his expression became complicated and he also got out of the car.
Obviously, Lou Yan also discovered the body... He didn't say anything, silently walked forward and stopped in front of the body for a long time.
It wasn't until Yu Cang looked at him that he said, "Can I help him bury him?"
"We have no conditions."
"...dig whatever you want. It’s better to be in a pit than exposed to wind and sun.”
"Okay."
Yu Cang took out a blank soul card and a writing pen from his arms. After writing for a few seconds, the soul card turned into an ordinary quality equipment soul card.
He activated it directly and equipped this soul card to Lou Yan.
Although Lou Yan has not yet awakened the soul energy well, the equipment card can be directly equipped to Lou Yan through the weapon knot, but the mental pressure still has to be borne by Yu Cang.
Taking the shovel, Lou Yan took a deep breath and almost choked on the smell of the corpse... But he endured it, walked forward quickly, and started digging around the corpse with shovel after shovel. pit.
The autumn-winter barrier only enveloped everyone within it, but did not cover the bodies, so Lou Yan had to bear 100% of the stench.
Yu Cang stood at the edge of the barrier.
Obviously Lou Yan had never been in such close contact with such a scene before. After digging a few shovels, he suddenly couldn't stand it any more. He ran to the side and started to retching while holding on to a tree.
"...If it doesn't work, forget it." Yu Cang said, "We will see a lot of corpses next, and you can't help bury every one."
With such skill, Empty I have walked a long way, and what I saw along the way... can only be said to be very exciting.
It's no problem at all to say that there are corpses everywhere.
That’s why Yu Cang said this.
"...We don't have time to bury you one by one." They sneaked in, but the date of communication will not change.
The chanting day is in a week, so in four or five days at the latest, they will have to meet with the people in the Grand Royal Court.
"I...I know." Lou Yan gasped, and then stood up, "I will...hurry up..."
Looking at Lou Yan's determined look, Yu Cang frowned slightly. Yang.
“Why do you want to do this? It seems to have no meaning.”
“I just can’t bear it.” Lou Yan said while digging the soil, “Besides... they are the subjects of the Great King’s Court. , the Great King’s Court is supported by all the people, how can you not even manage their funeral affairs..."
Yu Cang: "...it is not your fault that the Great King’s Court is difficult to return to. "
"But I am the prince of the Great Court... Now that I have seen it and I happen to be free, I can't ignore it."
Lou Yan seemed to have gradually adapted to the smell of corpses, and the digging process became faster.
"Yu Cang, don't worry, I won't delay the trip... Now I see that you are just resting where you are, so if you have free time, let me do it. If you are in a hurry, I won't do it because of this This kind of thing requires you to stop."
"...Okay."
Yu Cang sighed imperceptibly, then took out the blank soul card and writing pen, and started. Write and draw on it.
He asked casually: "Did you do this before when you were in the Great King's Court?"
"Before...not before." Lou Yan held the shovel's knuckles a little harder, "Brother and the others He would never tell me this, let alone the Imperial Master. Before escaping, I had never left the Great King's Court. I thought that outside the Golden Palace, it was really the bliss on earth and the pure land of heaven..."
Yu Cang: "...I can imagine that you must have been in pain during that time."
"Yes." Lou Yan said, "...when I came out of the Great King's Court, my brother I asked many uncles to escort me, but they all died on the road... In the end, they helped me lure away the national master's people and asked me to disguise myself and follow a group of businessmen, and then I successfully came to Yan Country.
" But...I don't know why, I can't remember any of those uncles' names...Yu Cang, do you think the royal bloodline of the Great Royal Court is really cold-blooded and has no regard for the common people? ”
According to legend, the Great Court is the sinner who offended the immortals. They were greedy for power and could not find relief. Now, under the rule of the Great King's Court, the Changsheng tent is full of mourners, which makes Lou Yan start to question himself.
Yu Cang did not raise his head, still writing on the soul card in his hand: "Actually, it is normal. If an experience is too sad, then people will subconsciously blur the memory and cannot remember it clearly. That's normal."
"Is this so..."
Lou Yan shoveled away the last shovelful of soil, took a few breaths, then walked to the side and dragged up the body.
Lou Yan did not dare to look into the eyes of the corpse, so he just dragged the corpse into the pit.
At first, he was sent out of the Great Court by his elder brother, but the Changsheng tent was full of the eyes and ears of the Imperial Preceptor. He didn’t know where to go. Just because he had heard the Imperial Preceptor mention Yu Cang’s name and knew that Yu Cang was the Imperial Preceptor’s enemy, he went all the way. After going through hardships and overcoming many dangers, they arrived at the border of Yan Kingdom.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, but it may also be a more dangerous enemy, but Lou Yan had no choice at that time.
On the way, he almost escaped death. The people he escorted risked their lives and the entire army was wiped out. Only then did he send Lou Yan to the vicinity of Yan Kingdom. He disguised himself and infiltrated into the caravan before arriving at Yan Kingdom.
The caravan was also from the Grand Royal Court, but luckily, perhaps it was because the caravan was too far away from the national division and did not receive orders, so Lou Yan managed to get through.
It was also his luck. As soon as he arrived at the border of Yan Kingdom, he actually heard Yu Cang's name again while passing by.
This journey can be called a legend. The youngest prince of the Great Court traveled all the way eastward, overcame despair, and went to the great eastern country to seek reinforcements and save the country. This was an experience worthy of being written into a biography, but now Lou Yan feels that compared to being in the Tent of Eternal Life, For ordinary people who are struggling, his experience is too ordinary.
At least, he has someone to risk his life to escort him, he can see hope, and his luck is also very good, but the people here, as long as they are born without talents, then... this will be the case in this life, they will not be able to see Half way out.
How does your own experience compare with it?
Put the body in the pit, arrange it neatly, and Lou Yan gets up.
He clasped his hands together, and the blood on his palms made them sticky and disgusting. As he lowered his head, waves of stench poured into his nose at close range, but he did not let go and kept it this way. posture and a long moment of silence.
"...Compared to that Dharma explanation, you are more like a monk."
After saying this, Yu Cang stopped writing.
What he is drawing is a very simple soul card.
Rare spell cards for quick cleaning.
The function is nothing special, it just can clean up the blood stains on Lou Yan's body... He doesn't want to wake up Qi'er after Lou Yan returns to the car smelly.
It was not unusual for him to be able to make this kind of soul card casually.
"...I am not as good as Fa Shi."
Lou Yan just said this.
Yu Cang did not respond, but just looked at the soul card in his hand. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the rhythm, he was about to take it back when several voices suddenly came from his ears.
“Help...Help!”
It is the language of the Hunter tribe.
Yu Cang turned around and saw two hunters, a man and a woman, running wildly on the mountain road. Behind them, chasing them closely, was a... wild beast. ?
Yu Cang frowned.
No...it doesn't seem to be the same as a wild beast...
This is a huge humanoid beast made of metal, with a hideous and terrifying face, eyes wide open with anger, and no hair on its body. It looks extremely scary.
This person seems to be made of dirty iron. The ground trembles slightly when he moves. Judging from the weight...it should not be solid.
However, although this iron man was chasing the two hunters, he did not attack with all his strength. His eyes were full of banter, just like a cat chasing a mouse, slowly hanging the two people, Not in a hurry to take action.
This... is even less like a wild beast.
“Do you want to save me?”
Yu Cang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Something is wrong. They just came to Changsheng Tent and met such a person?
While Yu Cang was thinking, Lou Yan suddenly turned his head: "Yu Cang, you..."
At this point, he paused again.
He is just an outsider and has no right to ask Yu Cang to take action... Looking at Yu Cang's expression, you can tell that there may be some conspiracy involved... I can't do anything.
Yu Cang moved his fingers slightly, and a soul card was already held on his fingertips. He was still thinking about whether there would be anything strange in it, then——
Zheng!
A sword sound suddenly rose from behind!
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed joy.
This is sword intent!
Gu Jieshuang is awake?
Whoosh!
Before he could react, a roaring sword sound had already crossed the sky and headed straight for the humanoid beast!
