My enemies became my companions

Chapter 516: The Shocking Changes in Corpse Valley (Four-in-One Extra Chapter)

The north wind of the twelfth lunar month came in through the crack in the door, and the bright yellow, purple and blue cloth curtains in front of the hall rustled.

It was already night, but the lights in the Governor's Office were still on.

Censor Han Xiu sat at the head of the table, sipping tea in silence. The tea was of top quality, but the aroma of the tea ground by the ladies lingered on the rim of the cup, which made him feel uncomfortable.

It seems that the tea of ​​this governor is not only valuable tea leaves, but also the tea girl.

"Sir Kou, I want the water transport account books of Wuchang Prefecture from previous years. I have been looking for them for sixteen days and still haven't found them?" Han Xiu put down his teacup and asked indifferently.

Kou Jun reached out and snipped the wick on the copper candlestick. Sparks burst out and he withdrew his hand due to the heat. He smiled and said, "Tai Han is a little too hasty. There are so many canal account books that I may not be able to find them even if I search for sixteen years, let alone sixteen days."

The governor's smile was simple and adorable, a smile that was attentive yet also showed his helplessness.

Han Xiu hated this kind of smile. Ever since the White Lotus Rebellion, he found it increasingly difficult to work with this group of people.

What's more, this Governor Kou Jun was promoted from under Lord Lin, and was definitely a remnant of the Lin Party.

"I told you that in the new case a few days ago, that group of evil White Lotus people came here by canal transport, so we must have the canal transport account book of Wuchang Prefecture."

After saying this, he simply ignored the man, rolled up his sleeves and continued to sip his tea.

Kou Jun could only apologize with a little embarrassment.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

There were footsteps coming from the classroom outside the house. Kou Jun heard the notification and hurried to meet them.

"Mr. Anshan! You are finally back."

Su Hongtao was wearing a half-worn scarlet cloak over his iron armor, and there was a layer of dew on the edge of his breastplate, as if he had rushed back from outside the city overnight.

When the commander-in-chief stepped into the hall, Han Xiu immediately stood up and bowed gracefully.

In the officialdom of Huguang, apart from a few confidants, the only person with whom Han Xiu could communicate was the well-known Anshan Gong Su Hongtao.

There was no one in the hall, so Kou Jun asked, "What news did you get?"

"Just a few battle reports."

"If that's the case, it must be a great victory." Kou Jun hurriedly asked someone to serve tea to Su Hongtao.

Su Hongtao took the tea and sat down on the chair. He turned around and saw Han Xiu's resolute face. He didn't even have time to drink the tea and asked, "Taiwanese Han, how is the case going?"

A few days ago, a new case occurred in Wuchang Prefecture. The situation was simple. A group of White Lotus Sect members hid in a canal transport ship and intended to raid the Wuchang Arsenal after docking. Although they were captured in time, they also caused considerable unrest in Wuchang Prefecture. There were many voices criticizing the government in the streets and alleys.

Han Xiu was in charge of the post of Censor, in charge of criminal trials, and the criticism mainly focused on Kou Jun and Su Hongtao.

"I found the key point, but Lord Kou won't let me investigate further."

"Oh, your words are too harsh. How dare I stop Han Nietai from investigating the case?"

"I just want the Wuchang Prefecture's water transport account books. With the account books, I can investigate the case. If Lord Kou still doesn't give them to me, I will personally lead people to investigate."

"You..." Kou Jun was speechless after hearing these decisive words.

Those who hold high positions and can become provincial officials all know that the grain transport account books are not just as simple as the grain transport account books. Behind them are every merchant, every official ship, every grain transport officer... Those volumes are full of charges, which become handles in the hands of smart people.

Su Hongtao lowered his eyebrows slightly and said slowly: "Tai Han, there is no need to rush. The important thing is more important."

"Big event, apart from the White Lotus Rebellion, what big event is there? Investigating the case is more about tracking down the whereabouts of the grain. There are 20,000 refugees fleeing from Changsha Prefecture, and there are only 3,000 dan of disaster relief grain left in the treasury." The candlelight dimmed the patch on Han Xiu's official robe. "If there is really a civil uprising, can your sword, Commander Su, kill all the starving people in the two places?"

Su Hongtao suddenly pulled open the cloak straps, and the iron scales hit the armrests of the nanmu chair with a bang. "Don't I know the situation is urgent? I have been running all night these days, and here, I was slashed by a group of thieves and almost died on the spot! Han Zishen, are you the only one in Huguang who is loyal to the country and cares about the people?!"

The hall was immediately filled with a heavy atmosphere and everyone fell silent.

After a while, Kou Jun hurriedly made a few moves to smooth things over, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Kou Jun said, "There is no one else here, so let's talk freely. Lord Han, we are all people who are worried about the country. The White Lotus Sect has caused chaos in half of Huguang. Changsha and other places have suffered and the people are displaced. The military supplies on the front line are tight. We really can't fight anymore. Let's follow our previous discussion and recruit them first."

Han Xiu glanced at Kou Jun coldly. How could he not know the governor's plan? The White Lotus Rebellion had caused great shock to the court and the country. There were rumors that the empress dowager had secretly dispatched the imperial army to the south to quell the rebellion. When the army arrived, they would definitely take over all power in Huguang. If that happened, Kou Jun and others who were in charge of administrative power would be like fish on the chopping board and would be liquidated.

Because of this, only by offering amnesty privately and quelling the religious turmoil first can there be a chance to maneuver.

"We need to suppress them, but we also need to appease them." Su Hongtao said, "Recruiting them is only a temporary measure. Once we find out the White Lotus's stronghold, we can destroy them in one fell swoop."

Han Xiu's expression remained unchanged. He said slowly, "As the sage said, one should do his job in his position. I will only investigate my case. Everyone, do your own thing."

After drinking the tea in the cup, Han Xiu stood up and left.

After the man walked away, Kou Jun cursed in a low voice: "What a miser Han Zishen is. The word 'shen' in his name doesn't mean he is cautious at all."

Kou Jun stood up and added two pieces of resinous firewood to the charcoal brazier. The flames illuminated the exquisite satin of his official robe.

Su Hongtao's face flickered, his expression remained unchanged, like a silent mountain.

After a while, he took out a yellow paper document from his arms.

"What is this?" Kou Jun asked.

"We have found some White Lotus evil people in Xiangyang. They are approaching Wuchang Prefecture and are probably in the Corpse Valley area now."

"Xiangyang is in Hubei, and the White Lotus Sect is in Hunan. How did they travel thousands of miles to get here?" Kou Junda was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

"Who knows? Maybe he can do somersaults." Staring at the door, Su Hongtao began to sneer, "Master Kou, please be safe. I have sent people to search, but they can't get out of the Five Finger Mountain."

.........................
The two of them left the mountain and walked forward. As the sky gradually darkened, they found an inn to stay and rest when they passed by a town. After Yin Tingxue showed her magical power, she held Chen Yi's hand tightly and shook it all the way. When she returned to the inn, she poked Chen Yi with her hand. Chen Yi asked her what she was doing, and she said, "Poking you."

She was happy today, and should have been extremely happy tonight as well.

However, things always have some twists and turns. When the two went downstairs to eat, they heard the waiter leading someone to the room. They looked inside and saw that it was the couple.

Then Yin Tingxue heard a whisper. The couple counted their money and found nothing was missing. They knew how much they could buy and how much land they could buy when they got home. After being rescued, they did not regret it and said that it was a good thing that they sent their son away, otherwise they would not have such a huge fortune...

Yin Tingxue felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and suddenly remembered Chen Yi's words, "Should I save him, or shouldn't I? You have to think it through."

When she returned to the guest room, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Yi without saying anything, but her face looked a little depressed.

She wondered if she had done something wrong?

Chen Yi knew what she was thinking, so he touched her face and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Yin Tingxue wanted to nod, but finally shook her head.

Chen Yi was very surprised. He thought she would say "some people should be saved, and some people should not be saved." To him, the answer was very simple, so he also applied this answer to Yin Tingxue.

Yin Tingxue asked in a low voice: "Where are the people who shouldn't be saved..."

Chen Yi was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he could only smile and said, "You have no experience in the martial arts world and are too soft-hearted."

There was a hint of criticism in the words, but Yin Tingxue didn't take it seriously. She was born like this and it was difficult to change. Fortunately, she had a powerful husband who could protect her and prevent her from having to change.

After the sunset, it was evening and the night was deep.

Wuchang City was just a few miles away. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The white moonlight spread across the earth. From the window, I could see the golden spire of the Yellow Crane Tower half visible and half hidden.

Yin Tingxue was in a bad mood tonight and went to bed early with her clothes on. Chen Yi had no intention of teasing her. He was busy traveling and teaching her sword these days, so he didn't bother her and let her enjoy the pleasure. However, this was also her fault for her poor health. As the thought flashed through his mind, Chen Yi felt that he had great self-control.

If you are frivolous, you will lose the world; if you respect yourself, you will survive.

Chen Yi is now very self-respecting. After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to think about Ying.

After admiring the night view for a while, Chen Yi fell asleep with his clothes on, waiting to enter Wuchang City the next day. He felt sleepy instantly.

……

There is a rotten smell...
A chilly wind suddenly blew through the window, bringing with it a strange smell, like that of a long-dead corpse.

Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

Turning around, I saw a woman with empty eyes standing in front of me. Her long hair was scattered on the ground, and she was wearing tattered clothes. Her face, covered by black hair, was pale and eerie, and there were bloodstains on her chest.

An indescribable corpse stench emanated from her.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that he respected himself and would never have any erotic dreams, let alone dream of such a horrifying scene.

Then the person in front of me...

"dead?"

After these two words were uttered, the woman's face trembled.

Under the bleak moonlight, the woman’s lips trembled, she cried like a ghost, fine hairs grew on her face, and there seemed to be a pair of fangs at the corners of her slightly grinning mouth. Suddenly, her skin and flesh peeled off inch by inch, and the stench of corpse water filled her nose. Her facial features gradually twisted, and centipedes, maggots, and flies emerged from her body, gnawing at her non-stop… Blood gushed out violently, washing away her entire face…

"It's so miserable... Lord City God... It's fair... It's fair..."

The inarticulate voice fell.

The next moment, the entire rotten body seemed to be unable to withstand the baptism of time and suddenly fell apart. The flesh and blood fell down along with the stench, turning into a pool of thick blood.

This is a terrifying scene, luckily the little fox didn’t see it…
Even Chen Yi couldn't bear to watch it, so he closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them again.

Creak, creak, the sound of wind blowing across the window sill was heard. It was not a gloomy wind, but a cold wind.

It turned out to be a dream.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and sat up. Yin Tingxue was still sleeping beside him. He turned over and got out of bed without waking her up.

Dreams are mysterious. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an account about Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly. Similar dreams are most likely to be some kind of omens. Chen Yi stroked his chin. He, the City God... actually had someone come to sue him in his dream.

"Sniff, sniff."

Suddenly I heard the old woman sniffling.

"This woman...smells like a defeated general..."

Chen Yi lowered his head and glanced at the ground, saying, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"The smell is too strong...it has penetrated into the cauldron."

Chen Yi did not comment on this answer. Compared with some minor details, he cared more about the defeated generals mentioned by the old saint.

He had encountered the so-called defeated general several times in his two lifetimes. The most recent one was the great ghost lord Deng Ai. His ability was extraordinary, no less than that of a third-rank warrior. In addition, with the bloody aura of the battlefield accumulated over hundreds and thousands of years, he could even fight with a second-rank warrior when he was determined to die.

If there is a ghost master here... then who is the instigator?
White Lotus Sect...

In the Huguang area, Chen Yi really couldn't think of anyone else except this troublemaker.

I have nothing to do tonight, so why not go and take a look?
Chen Yi looked back at the sleeping Yin Tingxue and felt a little hesitant.

Just as he was thinking about it, the bedding on the bed was stirred, and Yin Tingxue turned around, rubbed her eyes, and looked at him.

"Are you awake?" Chen Yi asked.

"Hmm...Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Yin Tingxue yawned, her ears moved slightly, and then she opened her sleepy eyes and asked in surprise: "Where are you going? I want to go too."

After that, she perked up and said seriously: "I am also a sword fairy."

I can't hide it from her.

Chen Yi smiled helplessly.

It seems that it is better for couples to work together.

...............

The rock walls on both sides are glazed with blue-black color.

The knowledgeable Chen Yi knew that was not the original color of the rocks. Looking back, he saw a deep and quiet valley with overlapping shadows of trees. The mountain that continued to descend was like a ghost road in the underworld. In the deepest part, he could see traces of broken walls and ruins.

Here the moonlight was twisted into a turbid dark yellow color, sticking to the jagged rocks like old pus, or as if it were a deformed tumor growing on the rock wall itself.

A thin mist was rising from the valley floor.

Chen Yi took a few steps closer and saw abandoned houses on both sides. The roofs were broken and the walls collapsed. Dark green algae and moss could be seen everywhere, as well as some Ganoderma lucidum that looked like the common Ganoderma lucidum found in coffins.

This place is anything but ordinary.

"Little fox, even if you are a sword immortal or a bodhisattva, you must be careful when coming to a place like this. Who knows what mysteries are hidden inside."

Chen Yi gave detailed instructions while taking out a large pile of talismans from the ground. Yin Tingxue listened carefully and took a look out of curiosity.

"These are all preparations... First, put on the breath-holding talisman, hold the guiding talisman, and don't forget the golden body protection talisman." Chen Yi nagging, "When you go over, first use the invisibility spell and put on a straw raincoat to avoid direct contact with unclean things. If possible, erase the footprints as well."

The reason for this is that Chen Yi had suffered a similar loss in his previous life. He was badly betrayed by his stupid teammates and almost lost his life. Fortunately, he made enough preparations and survived. By the way, his teammate at that time was named Chen Ruoshu.

After making some preparations, both of them wore various talismans and put on thick hats and raincoats, covering their faces completely.

Chen Yi pulled some straw and put it on the little fox.

"alright,"

He clapped his hands.
"It's seamless."

.................. ..
"Haqiu!"

Miss Donggong rubbed her nose vigorously and muttered:
"Someone must be thinking of me."

Although the silly girl couldn't tell who was thinking about her, she had an unquestionable intuition that someone must be thinking about her, which was why she sneezed.

If intuition can deceive us, then nothing in the world will not deceive us.

As we approached the Valley of Corpses, we found that it was much more eerie than we had imagined. A cold wind blew past, bringing with it an unpleasant stench of decay. The soil beneath our feet felt light to the touch.

There is a stagnant pool of water in the valley.

There was a layer of silver-grey film floating on the water surface. Looking closely, it was actually made up of the wings of countless moth flies. When the wind blew the miasma, the wings trembled, raising fine phosphorus powder that fell on the broken walls.

Wei Wuque frowned.

There are too many abandoned buildings in this area, more than the deserted villages I have seen before. It seems that some huge building complex has been built.

Before people had time to think about it,
In the distance, at the edge of the valley, we saw a completely different group of carriages and horses.

"Is it them?" Donggong Ruoshu pointed from a distance and asked Yuan Qi.

Jiang Shen raised his head, then jumped up the hillside, looked far away, and then came back, saying, "It's a group of officers and soldiers."

"Soldiers? What are the soldiers doing here?" Donggong Ruoshu didn't quite understand.

"I don't know. We just don't interfere with them." Yuan Qi said. As a river god, government affairs are a big trouble for him.

Donggong Ruoshu nodded. They had no grudges against the government. In fact, to a certain extent, relying on the identities of Wei Wuque and others in Xique Pavilion, they were still considered people of the court.

Yuan Qi formed seals with his hands and said, "The person is close, just within a few dozen miles. It's very blurry and can't be seen clearly."

Spots of fluorescent light floated around, floating unsteadily. Looking at the hexagram again, it was more elusive than before. It seemed that the person was really close, but I didn't know whether he had set foot in the Valley of Corpses.

Yuan Qi stood up and said, "I will hide now to make preparations."

How could Donggong Ruoshu disagree? Jiang Shen had an old injury and it was not easy for him to fight with the Taoist priest. Instead of facing the enemy head-on, it would be better to wait for an opportunity and then deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment. These were also the strategies agreed upon before.

The breeze rolled up the thin clouds, and Yuan Qi leaped up, immediately turning into a dragon body as big as a silver needle, breaking through the air and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

The great hide in the city, the small hide in the wild.

The moonlight was quiet, covering the ruins of the valley. Perhaps it was because Donggong Ruoshu had never seen such a miasma-ridden place in the northwest. He looked left and right, his face full of curiosity.

"There's a house there."

Wei Wuque and the other spies looked forward in the direction of the sound, and saw a house standing in the direction that Donggong Ruoshu pointed out. It could not be said to be intact. The building was tilted, the walls and pillars were buried in the ground, and the old eaves cut through the moonlight with an ink-colored glow. However, the overall structure was well-defined and it was obvious that it was a building.

He wanted to wait and see for a while longer, but with a whoosh, Donggong Ruoshu's figure flew over. Wei Wuque had no choice but to quickly use his lightness skills to catch up, fearing that this little ancestor might get into trouble.

This room looked like an ancestral hall or a temple. There was a small altar placed diagonally inside. The copper lamp stands inside were covered with rust and there were cobwebs in the corners. With the dim light, Wei Wuque was surprised to find that the altar was carved with intricate patterns and small bronze figures.

Looking up again, I saw murals on both sides. Although the paint had long since peeled off, I could still see that the main colors were black, red, and gold. A strange picture of winged people driving soldiers emerged from the cloud and thunder patterns, and it was filled with weapons and horses, like a picture of an extremely bloody battlefield.

"Why are there words on it?" Donggong Ruoshu asked puzzledly.

Wei Wuque took the opportunity to walk over and saw some characters on the pillar where Donggong Ruoshu was standing. "Is it... seal script?"

"Seal script?" Donggong Ruoshu asked in surprise.

At this time, the spy outside stepped in and reported: "Master, the group of officers and soldiers entered a certain building and have not come out yet."

"What are they searching for?"

Wei Wuque could not help but wonder. According to the intelligence he received, it was true that the White Lotus Sect once approached the city of Wuchang, but that was a month ago. The White Lotus Sect had already withdrawn its troops. Could it be that they were searching for the remaining members? Only if the White Lotus Sect members were a bunch of lunatics would they hide in such a ghost place.

Somehow, Wei Wuque always had a bad feeling.

He first asked the Taoist spy to come over to identify the text, then walked out of the door and looked into the distance.

The fog was thicker than before, and the diffuse fog seemed to be covered with layer upon layer of thick gauze. Only the abrupt branches could be seen in the distance.

call.

A chilly wind blew by, accompanied by a buzzing and whistling sound. Shadows became dim in the thick fog, and the ground in the valley suddenly began to shake slightly.

Click.

Wei Wuque looked down suddenly and found that there was an extra hand on his ankle.

Then, a dead man with a gray face and wearing iron armor broke out from under his feet!

Wei Wuque was horrified and struck out with his palm without thinking. The dead man's face instantly became hideous, and his facial features shifted and distorted. He loosened his ankles, and Wei Wuque kicked away. A bright knife light flashed from his waist in mid-air, and the rotten head flew into the air. What burst out from the broken end was not blood, but a thick miasma.

Looking back, I saw shadowy figures in the fog, as if there was a large group of people gathering together, approaching from the other side of the valley, like a surging wave of wheat in the wind.

Donggong Ruoshu and the Taoist spy rushed out of the house.
"what's the situation?"

"Zombies! There are corpses everywhere!"

Wei Wuque was talking loudly when suddenly, there were vibrations under his feet. The soil slowly fell off and corpses, some shriveled and some skeletal, crawled out of the ground one by one. Their eyes were hollow and their flesh was rotten. Mist surged and boiled like a hot knife cutting oil.

As if they had been awakened from ancient times and were unable to adapt, the zombies paused for a moment, then all let out strange roars and pounced on the living creatures on the field.

Wow.

Donggong Ruoshu's long sword drew several cold rays in the moonlight, cutting the three corpses that were rushing towards him in half, and the miasma exploded like a flower.

The Taoist spy threw out eight talismans with his backhand, and the yellow paper spontaneously combusted into a wall of fire in mid-air, temporarily blocking the tide of zombies pouring in from the surroundings.

"This is the Nine Yin Corpse Raising Ground!" The Taoist's voice trembled. He picked up a handful of soil with his peach wood sword, and dark red blood oozed out of the soil. "The whole valley is a corpse nest!"

Wei Wuque suddenly groaned and knelt on the ground, with dark blue lines on his ankle that had just been grabbed. The Taoist spy tore open his trouser legs and saw something alive wriggling under his skin. He immediately bit his fingertip and used a silver needle to insert into his Zusanli acupoint: "The miasma has entered the meridians, Master, hold your breath!"

When the silver needle pierced, it brought out smelly black blood, and the weeds where it splashed turned yellow in an instant.

The cracks on the ground spread like a spider web, and more than a dozen ancient corpses broke out of the ground. There were intricate patterns engraved on their armor, and they were carrying ancient flags. The tattered flags were shrouded in a thick murderous aura, which made people shudder.

Donggong Ruoshu was as nimble as a cunning rabbit or a flying fox. He leapt in front of a corpse soldier, swung his long sword, and slashed with great force. However, the blade bounced heavily on the mottled iron armor. Donggong Ruoshu was surprised, but reacted very quickly. He immediately moved his sword forward and cut towards the unprotected neck. When the other corpse soldiers stabbed at him with their spears, he dodged away with a step.

The corpse soldiers fell dead to the ground instantly. Donggong Ruoshu retreated repeatedly and heard a whooshing sound behind him. The spies blocked the attack with crossbows and scattered arrows shot towards him.

"These armors... are so strange." Donggong Ruoshu recalled the feeling of cutting the armor.

Under the cold moonlight, the iron armor was as black as ink, engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, as if mountains were constantly pressing down.

She was already a fourth-rank warrior, and with her full strength, she had nearly a thousand pounds, but she couldn't cut through the armor with just one sword.

Wei Wuque held his breath to expel the poison, and when he looked up, he saw more and more corpses gathering towards him. If he stayed here, the martial artist would be filled with qi throughout his body and would not be able to breathe, and he would probably die of exhaustion!

“That’s not a solution…”

Even though the spies kept shooting arrows to block the attack, it was of little use. The zombies were coming in full force, and they couldn't hold out for long with a small number against a large number.

"there!"

Donggong Ruoshu shouted loudly and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a bronze chariot rushing towards him, with rotten horses spewing miasma and a sound like thunder. On it sat a corpse general who was as tall as an iron tower, with flags waving and a half-broken bronze chain wrapped around the tip of his spear.

It happened in a flash. Before Wei Wuque could make any judgment, Donggong Ruosu rushed out like a cannonball, his footsteps tapping, and then his sword flew, colliding head-on with the corpse general.

The spear swept across, and a strong wind blew up. Donggong Ruoshu turned over suddenly, supported the chariot with one hand, put away his sword and kicked the corpse general hard. The iron tower-like body shook like waves on the lake. The corpse general burst into anger and smashed it hard with both hands holding the spear, trying to smash Donggong Ruoshu's head into pieces.

At the critical moment, Wei Wuque also dodged. He endured the miasma in his body and swung his blade to hit the middle of the spear. The corpse general instantly freed one of his hands. Dong Gong Ruoshu turned over quickly, with quick eyes and hands, he pressed the knife with both hands and slashed upwards. The white light seemed to tear through the darkness, and hideous cracks appeared on the corpse general's armorless ribs.

"Miss Donggong, you owe me a life."

Wei Wuque kicked hard to avoid the miasma erupting from the corpse. Suddenly, he heard a strong wind and a copper-rusted crossbow arrow flew towards him, about to pierce his head, but he saw the tip of the knife pick up the crossbow arrow and it broke into pieces. Then there was a sound like thunder and the gust of air made his hair fly.

"No more owe!"

After saying this, Donggong Ruoshu pulled the reins and drove hard.

All the spies from the Magpie Pavilion got on the carriage and galloped through the valley under the power of four corpse war horses.

The bronze chariot smashed the bones all over the ground, and another chariot came towards them, with spears waving like a landslide. Wei Wuque used the sole of his boot to push against the shaft of the chariot, and the blade scraped across the throat of the corpse, and the splashing rotten fluid corroded the flag and produced green smoke.

Then he suddenly retreated and returned to the chariot. Three crossbow arrows pierced into the place where he had just stood. The arrowheads made of rotten iron actually blew out a hole as big as a bowl.

As the corpse was about to fall to the ground, the zombies in the valley roared in unison. The extremely strange howls shook the entire valley.

Soon after, broken limbs and arms squeezed out of the ruins and mud, popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Corpses were like ants, and countless corpses came from all directions, causing strong winds and huge waves on the earth!
Dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city!
Wei Wuque's face turned paler and paler.

There are more and more!
“These beasts are rushing towards us!”

Wei Wuque caught a glimpse of the zombie hordes that were surrounding them from both sides. There were countless zombie generals and zombie soldiers, as if a black wave was going to drown them. When he wasn't paying attention, a spear was thrown at him, and the head of a war horse fell off. The chariot shook and tilted violently, and everyone lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Donggong Ruoshu cut the rope of the other horse with a knife to maintain the balance of the chariot. Blood was oozing from her knuckles where she was holding the reins. Although the chariot continued to move forward, it was not as fast as before, so it could only gallop forward desperately.

The situation is critical, what should we do?
"Think of a solution quickly, or we will all die!"

Everyone in the car looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no clues and didn't know where to start. Wei Wuque suddenly turned his head and looked at the Taoist spy.

The Taoist priest said with a trembling voice: "...The time was limited just now, so I could only make out...'The six kingdoms returned, greedy and cruel, and slaughtered endlessly'...The corpses buried here must be Qin people."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The corpses that have transformed into corpses are a scourge to the people. They are commonly known as zombies or living corpses. Just as wine becomes more fragrant as it is brewed, and fish becomes saltier as it is pickled, the longer it is buried, the more terrifying its power becomes. These corpses that have been pickled in the soil for nearly two thousand years are probably hundreds of times more terrifying than the tigers and wolves of two thousand years ago!
An atmosphere of gloom and despair enveloped the chariot.

Donggong Ruoshu didn't think so. He believed that there must be a way to defeat such a gloomy ghost.

秦民
Hey, Qin Min?!
An idea suddenly occurred to her mind. She turned around, made a megaphone shape with her hands and shouted:
"Build the Great Wall! Build the Great Wall!"

Click...

The sound of bones rubbing against each other suddenly stopped.

The zombies that had been chasing all over the mountains suddenly froze in place, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then fled in all directions as if a cannonball had exploded!

"Don't leave! After we finish building the Great Wall, we still have the Afang Palace!"

The tide of corpses rolled back, some scholar zombies cut off their robes and fled, and some military skeletons threw away their helmets and armor. The most bizarre was a rotten corpse holding abacus sticks, and as it ran, the sound of bamboo slips falling to the ground leaked from its chest, which was clearly the state of the secretary in the past.

"Come back! After we finish building the Afang Palace, we still have the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!"

The girl shouted anxiously and actually chased the zombies.

Large swathes of darkness scattered like birds and beasts, desperately trying to make their way into the pine forest, as if pursued by a fear older than death.

Wei Wuque stood there, stunned, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

In the end, only two words could be uttered from his throat: "Fuck..."

East of Corpse Valley.

Yin Tingxue saw a dark mass in the distance and hurriedly tugged at Chen Yi's sleeve.

A large group of zombies came from west to east like the Qiantang River tide, so mighty that wherever they passed was submerged in miasma.

"Chen Yi," Yin Tingxue shook off the straw foam on her head, her voice trembling a little, "Who discovered us?"

Chen Yi was also confused.
The Jindan realm's invisibility technique, the top-grade breath-holding talisman, and the disguise of a straw raincoat, even the footprints along the way have been cleaned up...it should be seamless and the hiding is perfect enough.

Is there any expert out there?
