Chapter 54 Killing 1 person on foot

Chapter 54 Killing One Person in Ten Steps

In the rain, a group of people stood silently at the Zuijiao Bridge, with clouds among them.

He looked at the Rotten Peach Mountain not far away.

It is now the third phase of Rain Water, and very close to the first phase of Waking of Insects, when peach trees begin to bloom. If you look closely, you can probably see the buds on the peach branches.

But now, looking from afar, you can only see a stretch of green peach leaves all over the mountains.

Looking at the peach forest, Yunqi remembered the original reason why he came to Miao and Nan.

In order to further visualize the Pleiades star official, he wanted to go to Tianming Mountain to visit the Golden Rooster Clan, but he didn't expect that he had already succeeded in an ordinary Miao village halfway. In addition, the war in southern Miao was fierce, and Tianming Mountain was in the southern wilderness, so he was too lazy to go there again.

Secondly, chickens and peaches have always been close in the world, just like the golden crow and the hibiscus, the phoenix and the phoenix tree. Since ancient times, peach trees have been regarded as yang woods and roosters as yang birds.

The father of the Pleiades star official, Tianji, was born on a big peach tree on Taodu Mountain in the East China Sea. The rooster painting and the peach charms are always inseparable, and peach wood stained with chicken blood is a very yang thing that can ward off evil spirits. Mortals holding it can also scare away ghosts.

He regards Pleiades as his inner god, so naturally he wants to take a look at the most famous peach forest in the world.

His original intention was to come back to see it at the turn of spring and summer, when the Yang energy between heaven and earth is at its strongest. Peach wood is a Yang wood, so the peach forest is naturally like a sea of ​​fire. And thanks to the special feature of Rotten Peach Mountain, the sun was scorching at that time, and the miasma underneath was evaporated up like smoke and clouds. Miasma is Yin energy, and the fusion of Yin and Yang at that time must have been a magnificent scene.

But at this time, the spring rain is continuous, the peach blossoms are shy, and the blood is stagnant, so it is really not worth looking at. The green leaves look like a sea of ​​ink after looking at them for a long time, which is unpleasant.

After waiting for a while, it was not yet 3:00 p.m., but everyone was already there, twenty-one people in total.

But with only these few people, it is naturally impossible to bring out all 120 bodies. If everything goes well, they can make a few more trips. If something unexpected really happens, they can only do their best and leave the rest to fate.

Everyone looked at each other, some were acquaintances and some were strangers, and nodded to each other, then set off in silence.

After crossing Zuijiao Bridge, walk downstream along the east bank of the river for about two miles and you will reach Xigukou.

Everyone stopped and saw that there was a gap in the mountain. There were colorful clouds hovering there, which even the rain could not melt away. Seeing this, everyone's faces became more gloomy.

Hai Jinqi was right beside Yunqi, his one eye narrowed into a slit, and he said softly to Yunqi,

"In the past, the outside of the gap was clean. Once the miasma came out, it was blown away by the river. The miasma collectors stood by the gap and used magic tools to catch the peach blossom miasma in the gap. The peach blossom miasma is pink, but now it seems that the mountain torrents brought out the peach mud miasma, which accumulated in the gap. Such a sudden miasma will not dissipate for ten days or half a month even if it is facing the river. By the time the miasma dissipates, the people inside will either turn into blood or be buried deep in the mud."

Yunqi nodded. He was just watching from a distance, but the strange smell of a mixture of fragrance and stench was already drilling into his nose.

"call--"

At this moment, another mountain torrent rushed out from the gap, making the colorful clouds even more beautiful.

"Let's go! We can't wait!"

Someone whispered.

So a group of people slowly moved forward.

At this time, each method of warding off miasma was revealed.

Some people held their breath, some summoned miasma, some covered their mouths and noses with silk handkerchiefs, some stuffed pills into their mouths and noses, and everyone also smeared a kind of juice on their eyes.

Hai Jinqi explained that they were the branches and leaves of the peach trees on Rotten Peach Mountain, which had a certain detoxifying effect on miasma.

He wanted to apply it to Yunqi, but Yunqi shook his head. He was afraid that it would block his vision.

He summoned fire and formed a coat of fire to cover himself. In addition, he stored the Sun's Bing Fire in the twelfth floor. The miasma had to go down from there to corrode his internal organs, so it should be relatively safe.

Seeing how skilled he was in controlling fire, everyone could not help but admire him, and it also gave them more confidence in going in to look for the body.

Moreover, the miasma at the mouth of the valley is at the mouth of the river on a rainy day, and only part of the peach mud has been washed out, which is much better than that in the mountains.

"Be careful of the living!"

Someone reminded everyone before entering, and everyone knew that this was talking about the Western Shu nun holding the flaming sword.

Everyone went in slowly.

“Squeak—squeak—”

When the miasma came into contact with the fire clothes, it made a hissing sound, but fortunately the fire in the throat was able to burn the miasma clean, so there was no feeling when breathing it.

Looking at the others, they only protected their mouths and noses. The miasma burned their bodies, their skin felt hot and itchy, and their brows were twisted.

He saw the clouds, but didn't know what was going on inside, and he didn't dare to rashly cover everyone with the fire tent. If he did, his magic power would be consumed too quickly, and if something unexpected happened, it would cause trouble.

They entered the miasma, which was colorful and dazzling, making it impossible for people to see anything. However, because they were suffering from the torment of the miasma, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Someone took out a emerald green bead and used magic power to activate it, emitting a green light, which made it somewhat clearer. Some people scattered many insects, which flew in all directions, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Being here, there is naturally nothing to hide. The cloud and the finger are like a candle, and a ray of solar fire jumps out of the finger. Everyone doesn't know what kind of flame the golden fire is, but they can see the miasma around the flame and dare not approach, just like being driven away by darkness.

"Go here, our people are here!"

There were people in the crowd who were leaving from here, trying to find their way, bringing people in, and making marks along the way.

"There!"

Before they had walked a hundred steps, someone discovered something on the ground.

When everyone gathered around, they saw that it was a dead body.

Yunqi didn't recognize this man. He seemed to be from another market. His exposed skin had turned red from the miasma, as if burned. The most eye-catching thing was the big cut on his chest.

"It's a flying sword!"

someone said.

Yes, only a flying sword piercing through would cause such a wound.

A sturdy man came forward and carried the man on his back.

Everyone continued to search.

"Here they are! They are from the Hong Family Village!"

Soon, another body was found.

After a short while, they successfully found more than ten bodies.

"The people from Xishu should have left. Let's send these brothers out first and get some fresh air. Leave half of us to continue searching. When they come back, we'll carry the others out to exchange."

Seeing that things were going smoothly, someone immediately suggested a faster way. Everyone had no objections and started to split into teams.

Hai Jinqi had been holding his breath, and it was time to go out for some fresh air. He nodded to Yunqi, and started to walk out carrying a corpse on his back. Yunqi's magic power consumption was not much, so he stayed to continue searching.

"what!"

Not long after they separated, screams were heard. The nine people who stayed behind changed their expressions and rushed over towards the sound.

Yunqi immediately pulled out "Qiu Shui".

He flipped his left hand, pinched a talisman, and threw it out.

"The blazing sun patrols the sky, the blazing fire clears the way, go!"

The power of this Yang Fire Demon-Destroying Talisman in Yunqi's hand was many times stronger than that of any other talisman. Two fire dragons broke through the miasma and rushed forward.

With this wave of fire, everyone naturally saw what happened:
Several Taoists in purple clothes with gold patterns, who were hiding somewhere, were controlling flying swords to stab at the people in the Miao village who were carrying corpses. Those flying swords were rushing around recklessly, and there was no mysterious change. It would not be difficult to avoid them on normal days, but at this moment, the miasma became a perfect cover for them.

"stop!"

Yunqi heard someone shouting in his ear, and he also saw that Hai Jinqi had only one eye and could not see the trajectory of seven or eight flying swords. When he turned around, a flying sword had already pierced his neck.

He loosened his grip, dropped the body to the ground, and fell down himself.

"town!"

Yunqi chanted a spell and aimed it at the complacent murderer. The man seemed very satisfied because among so many flying swords, his was the only one that pierced the enemy's body first.

Yunqi stepped into the mud and took ten steps in a row. His steps were so fast that the mud pits seemed to form a star map. The sword in his hand was faster than a rainstorm. The smugness on the murderer's face was slowly turning into fear because his body was suddenly unable to move.

But the sword of the cloud has arrived.

This move was not a stab, but an arc of light from the sky slashing down diagonally. The blade of "Autumn Water" seemed to turn into moonlight at this moment and fell on the neck of the murderer.

"puff-"

It was a very subtle sound that could not be heard unless one listened carefully.

The smugness on the murderer's face could not turn into horror, because his expression had completely frozen as his head fell into the mud.
