Chapter 143 Living Fire Sacrifice (2 in 1)

February fifteenth.

The trail going south is full of potholes, passing single logs and flowing streams.Two scrawny horses are riding two ragged wanderers, and they are carefully driving the horses across the bridge.

One of them was wearing a dirty monk's robe, his bald head was barren, but there was a thick curly beard growing on his chin.

There was a large hairless bald spot on the buttocks of the skinny horse he was riding, which was red and swollen as if it had been picked off by life.

The two of them are a macho man and a monk in disguise.

Zheng Xiu and Ruchen continued to go south, avoiding Ye Weiyang's sphere of influence.

When approaching the marsh state area, Zheng Xiu and Ruchen each rode a horse, and they didn't meet a raven again.

Zheng Xiu never heard the whispering footsteps and breathing again.

If nothing else, Zheng Xiuxiu stayed away from the crowman.

Zheng Xiu's pupils shrank, and he was shocked.What shocked him was not God's concoction, let alone Ruchen being pushed down.

All in all, Ruchen's "inner demon" is harmless.

Zheng Xiu didn't take Ruchen's embarrassment of being a "monster" at all, and pointed to a mountain in the southwest of Marsh Prefecture, with a note written below it.

Zheng Xiu took out a map from his arms.

This is the conclusion Zheng Xiu reached after killing Kui Lang.

"Yes!"

Ruchen lowered his head, his eyes were a little more struggling.But soon, Ruchen smiled casually: "Brother Zheng, when the two of us have arrived here, it's time to part ways. The little monk will go and have a look first. Brother Zheng doesn't need to follow. Everything is about the overall situation! Brother Zheng, you go up the mountain first." , find a secluded place, hurry up and rescue Feng Bei Shi, the main thing is urgent!"

"Wow--"

"Snapped!"

Inexplicably, a monk pointed at his nose and scolded a heartless man for showing off his face and face. Zheng Xiu was so angry that he smiled back, and pointed his middle finger at Ruchen: "Get out! I don't like men!"

It's God's witchcraft!

Ruchen slapped his neck with a slap, and opened his palm to look. There was a giant mosquito the size of half a fingernail lying in his palm. It was lying in Ruchen's palm at the moment, vomiting back the blood it had sucked not long ago. In Ruchen's palm.

Ruchen raised his head and looked towards the direction of the city in astonishment, pulled Zheng Xiu's sleeve, pulled off Zheng Xiu's entire sleeve without noticing for a moment, and said in surprise: "Look quickly, there seems to be a fire over there!"

Zheng Xiu was relieved but also puzzled when he didn't meet Raven and Ye Weiyang's pursuit for more than ten days.

At this time, Ruchen was completely different from her former beauty, with lumps of black horse hair stained on her supposedly bare chin, her face was deliberately smeared with mud, coupled with her barren bald head, she looked Like a wandering wild monk.

This throws them off?
Zheng Xiu knew that Ye Weiyang had guessed his northward route at first.

Now it is the "thugs" who emerge from Ruchen's body.

He didn't feel a little scared after he hurriedly left the Ghost Crying Forest. The ravens almost had one of them. In the night, the ravens could be said to be wearing protective clothing and were extremely concealed.After Zheng Xiu thought about it, he realized what Kui Lang was up to.Time delay or kill, kill two birds with one stone.

Zheng Xiulong walked like a tiger, walking like the wind, and suddenly woke up after walking a few more steps.

"Let go of that woman!"

"Why do the mosquitoes treat you like nothing?"

"Brother Zheng, do you want to rest for a while?"

There was thick smoke and fire burning in the city, and Ruchen said that someone was burned to death in front, but the other people in the city hid at home with their doors and windows closed as if they didn't know?
Unless, the people in the city know that there will be a fire today.

Tianyin Mountain is the natural moat wall of Dagan. No one can cross Tianyin Mountain. The marsh state is vast and adjacent to other countries, but there is no Shenwu army stationed there. This is one of the reasons why Zheng Xiu chose to go south.

With a hoarse voice humming and chirping, his accent changed nine times, as if he was singing a weird song. Zheng Xiu saw a guy with a stooped figure, a feathered mask on his face, a strange costume, a bell on his body, and a drum around his waist. , was shaking his body, making a bell, and at the same time echoing with drums, dancing with the rhythm.

"Itchy skin?"

It is close to Tianyin Mountain, and the terrain is uprooted layer by layer. Zheng Xiu found from the map that the nearest town to Tianyin Mountain is called "Jingtang Town".Zheng Xiu is going to prepare some clothes and dry food in Jingtang Town.

Two fat mosquitoes lay on the bald head.

The Dagan Dynasty has a vast territory, and it is obviously not easy for Ye Weiyang to find Zheng Xiu and Ruchen in the vast crowd.

"Yi Ya Li, ya woo wa ka qua..."

"The concubine is a girl with yellow flowers~"

"Brother Zheng, do you really intend to be eaten into the scroll, sacrifice your life for justice, and rescue Fengbei's benefactor?"

Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "The lack of people is exactly what I want. Ye Weiyang will appear where the crime happened, and the ravens will build their nests around the bustling downtown. I don't mean to go to the top of the mountain, just Find a nearby corner where no one cares about, and hide for ten and a half months. Even if the raven senses the breath, it is difficult to come in a short time. It takes a certain amount of time for the ravens to gather, and one or two ravens alone cannot attract them. Come to the Ravenkeeper, or he would have appeared long ago."

As soon as Zheng Xiu entered the city, he noticed something strange. There was no one on the spacious street.There are three or two houses in a patchwork pattern, but all the doors and windows are closed tightly. There are faint voices of people communicating in low voices, breathing sounds, and the voices of adults reprimanding children in a low voice.

In the early morning of the next day, Ruchen pointed at an egg-sized swollen lump on his forehead and screamed in pain, wondering.

He gave aliases to the few "heart demons" he knew, mainly to facilitate the distinction.

Ruchen returned to normal in an instant, and looked at the map in Zheng Xiu's hand as usual.

"Snapped!"

"It doesn't matter, I have countless advantages, and there is no doubt that I am brave and unparalleled, very good!"

"We saw rough roads along the way and saved a lot of money, which should be enough for us." Before entering the city, Zheng Xiu seriously told Ruchen: "Remember, we must act low-key, low-key, low-key, and must not attract attention!"

She hugged the swaddling baby tightly, hugged it in her arms, and used her body to protect it.

Zheng Xiu quietly looked away from Ruchen's reflective head.

All in all, Zheng Xiu played two smoke bombs, "Northward" and "Westward", in order to confuse Ye Weiyang and delay their pursuit of the two.

The dancing clay figurine turned into yellow mud again, stood up like dust, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace when he turned his head.Ruchen was startled and said: "It seems that someone is burned to death in front? Huh?" After being surprised, Ruchen scratched his head in confusion: "How did you know, little monk?"

The lost female hunter learned that the macho man and the monk wanted to go south, so she sent a map, which recorded the main roads and some mountains, rivers, towns and villages of the four southern states.In the end, the strong female hunter reluctantly watched the hunk man leave with tears in her eyes, hoping that the hunk man could leave a map so that he could see things and think about others.

Although one of Ruchen's personalities walks the way of "walking feet" and walks like electricity, but the muscular strength of the macho is not fake, only Ruchen is a few steps slower.

Of course, there is another possibility that if there is no accident, an accident will happen soon.Zheng Xiu didn't dare to be careless, so he worked tirelessly to travel two thousand miles to the south.

Ruchen said in surprise: "The highest peak in the world, Tianyin Mountain? It is said that the snow does not melt all year round, and it is difficult to go up and down the mountain. The terrain is so steep that even the most outstanding craftsmen cannot repair the climbing path on Tianyin Mountain! Xue Beng is dead, how could you think of going there?"

Halfway through the dense forest, on Ruchen's head and neck, wherever exposed, there were large and small swollen bumps.

Ruchen rushed into the crowd, and several civilians rushed forward to stop Ruchen by cursing.

Along the way, Zheng Xiu got to know Ruchen better and better.

"So that's it! Brother Zheng really has a careful mind! You can't judge people by their appearance!"

The cold wind was blowing, Ruchen scratched the bun on his head, and while listening to the "well-informed" brother Zheng tell the story of "monk meat", he finally got his head out, shook the reins, and ran out of the mosquito's hunting range , turned around and asked: "Brother Zheng, now we have already entered the border of Marsh State, where are you planning to go?"

The destination was very clear, Zheng Xiu and Ruchen rode around on horseback, avoiding towns and official roads.A few days later, Zheng Xiu was constantly on the lookout for the ravens, and finally came to the southwest of the marsh state, where the towering snow-capped mountains were in sight.

Counting it down, Zheng Xiu hadn't had a good night's sleep for a month.

Finally, after finally getting out of the dense forest, the eyes suddenly opened up.

"Bah!" Zheng Xiu squeezed a smile out of his tired face, and scolded, "Screw your Raven's mouth and remove the words 'sacrificing one's life for righteousness'! I have no intention of sacrificing."

After Ruchen lost his memory, his range of activities was almost limited to the general town area.Traveling with Zheng Xiu along the way, although mixed with the embarrassment of being desperate, the customs and various snacks that he had never heard of along the way opened his eyes and made him enjoy it.

In a blink of an eye, the place where the billowing black smoke came out was not far away.

When they crossed a mountain a few days ago, they happened to meet a strong female hunter who was hunting on the mountain, but she was hunted instead and was forced to climb a tree by a fierce tiger.After Zheng Xiu drove away the tiger and rescued the female hunter, the female hunter enthusiastically invited the two benefactors to go home for a full meal in return for saving their life.The words even vaguely reveal the meaning that the great kindness and great virtue can't be repaid if you promise them with your body.

After finishing speaking, Ruchen turned around, waved his back to Zheng Xiu, and ran quickly in the direction of the black smoke, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

For example, one night, Ruchen, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly got up, and walked up to Zheng Xiu on a catwalk, with a resentful expression on his face, he said frighteningly:
"You heartless man! Why do you turn a blind eye to the beauty of the concubine all day long?"

Zheng Xiu smiled and waved his hands, and answered the monk's questions and worries with a bland joke.

This is the one among Ruchen's "heart demons", who has a fierce personality, speaks unscrupulously, and deserves a beating the most.

Zheng Xiu stood there for a while, then turned around and wanted to leave.

Ruchen looked at Zheng Xiu's haggard look, sitting on the horse's precarious look, and felt bad.

hiss...hiss...hiss...

When Zheng Xiu took out the map, Ruchen's serious expression suddenly changed, and his brows became a little fiercer, but he poked Zheng Xiu's chest and teased: "Hehe! I really want to change my infatuation for cruelty. I don't understand, the ancients said that the marriage should flow and flow, but you are pretending to be benevolent and righteous, and you can spit out the meat you bring to your mouth."

"Okay." Zheng Xiu patted Ruchen's shoulder and said calmly: "Don't forget what I said before, we need to keep a low profile and don't use thaumaturgy indiscriminately." Zheng Xiu stepped on "Ruchen's little Nini", again emphasizing: "low-key, not eye-catching."

Zheng Xiu knocked Ruchen out with a punch and threw it aside.

strangeness.

Instead, in the center of the open space in the city, a tall fire was piled up, burning vigorously.There are wooden pillars standing on the fire, and a beautiful woman in ordinary clothes, holding a bright red swaddle in her arms, is enduring the pain of the fire.

"Yeah?" Ruchen stretched his hand to his ear, and stared at him: "Yeah? You said there is a deadly smell in front? Burning to death? It smells like a deadly smell?"

The cry of a baby is heard in the swaddling.

But attacking ghosts and monsters is the strength of the [Prisoner] method, and it is also the secret of the [Prisoner], Zheng Xiu naturally cannot reveal it to Ruchen.Facing Ruchen's worries, Zheng Xiu could only answer vaguely: "Don't worry, I'm sure, now I just need to find a secret place that Ye Weiyang can't find, so I can attack the two with peace of mind... Cough cough, I It means Anxin rescued Fengbei."

Ruchen refuses to accept.

The hunk rebuffed straight away: "You don't have to."

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiu and Ruchen disguised themselves after they entered the border of Marsh State.

Ruchen ran and laughed, the laughter fluttering, and entered the city.

Ruchen could only keep slapping himself to repel mosquitoes.

But as soon as he took a step, Zheng Xiu subconsciously tightened the straps on his shoulders, stood there for a moment, then turned around and entered the city again.

Zheng Xiu followed Ruchen's gaze, and sure enough, there was a billowing black smoke rising from the city. Before they entered the city, they looked from a distance and didn't see it. Obviously, the fire had just started.

Villages and towns are dotted in the vast wilderness, and the mountains in the distance are lush and lush, and the jungle is luxuriant, and there are steep snow-capped mountains in the distance.

As Zheng Xiu became more and more familiar with Ruchen, Zheng Xiu could even distinguish some of the secondary personalities.

There are people in the house!This is where it gets weirdest.

Snapped.

Zheng Xiu raised his casserole-sized fist and squeezed it hard, blue veins appeared on the fist.

Zheng Xiu looked around, and his keen [intuition] immediately made him aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere in the city.But this was not a reminder that the crisis was approaching, but simply made Zheng Xiu feel that the atmosphere was weird.

After three or two efforts, Ruchen was pinned to the ground by several strong men carrying pitchforks and couldn't move.

The climate in the south is completely different from that in the north, and there is also a certain gap with Shuzhou.

They are riding horses, walking through the dense forest with difficulty. In the dense forest, the centuries-old trees block out the sky, the shadows of the trees under the horseshoes are colorful, the vines are entangled, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants are breeding and developing in nests and nests.

If you look at it as Ruchen's "intermittent sickness" and "normal convulsions", the problem does not seem to be too big.

On the other hand, Zheng Xiu didn't feel greedy for mosquitoes along the way, but felt at ease.

"The picture scroll is dangerous..."

Immediately afterwards, when he killed Xiaxian Lu jackal in Guikulin, Zheng Xiu deliberately told Raven that he was going west to enter the desert.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng!"

"Oh, people's physiques can't be generalized. Maybe your flesh and blood smell better. I read a story many years ago. There was a monk named Tang Xuanzang with thin skin and tender flesh. It was said that monsters and evil spirits ate his flesh. , you can live forever and stay young..."

It is true that Ruchen will "troublesome demons" from time to time, that is to say, the secondary personality pops up.But every time the sub-personality appeared, it was mostly a few words, and Ruchen would come back online soon, and even he himself didn't know what he said or did when he was "troubleshooting".

Walking in the forest, Ruchen could even clearly hear the sound of swarms of poisonous snakes spitting out letters.

Zheng Xiu has disheveled hair and ragged clothes. Now he can pretend to be a blind beggar on the street as long as he finds a black cloth over his eyes.

"Bandit", "bear child", "scholar", "oiran" and so on.

At this time, the north is still cold and snowy, but the south has warmed up, and the climate is humid and irritating.

"How could I not know." Zheng Xiu interrupted Ruchen's words, Ruchen didn't know that Zheng Xiu had the skills to attack ghosts and monsters, so he was so worried, and it was understandable.

This short period of madness and nonsense, once you get used to it, is quite interesting.

"Hee hee hee hee..." Ruchen suddenly let out a childlike innocent laugh, leaned on the ground, clapped his hands, and saw a piece of yellow mud writhing and reorganized strangely, turning into a slap small clay figurines.The little clay figurines danced and made strange movements.

The key is to keep a low profile.

Ruchen giggled strangely, asking and answering as if talking to a clay figurine: "Little Nini, tell me, what happened in front of you?"

This scene made Zheng Xiu's scalp tingle instantly.

The townspeople are...burning people alive!

One big and one small, two real people.

This scene is like a cruel blood sacrifice!
　Night shift, I took time to write on my phone... sorry for the lateness.
