The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 35 Arrow Rain Maze
Senior brother Xuanchi has always been cautious. The reason why he didn't express his opinion about the unexplained sudden death of the villagers must be because he discovered something, but he couldn't be sure what caused it.

So, I didn't ask any more questions.However, as soon as we arrived at the gate of the little old man's house, there were several mournful roars in the house, and the voice should be the little old man.

Brother Xuanchi said badly, and rushed into the room with a brisk step, followed by me.I saw the little old man half lying on the ground, with his mouth open, writhing helplessly on the ground, looking very scary.Just as I was about to go up to have a look, Senior Brother Xuanchi grabbed me.

I looked at Xuanchi puzzledly, and saw his solemn expression, as if he had discovered something unbelievable.I turned around and saw that the little old man's stomach was bulging, and then there was a sound of barking, and something burst out of his stomach.

That thing has sharp-billed monkey cheeks and red eyes, staring at us stubbornly.I took a closer look and almost cried out.I recognize that thing, that is the blood bat raised by the black bat.However, what makes me wonder is, how is it here?
The bat was in a stalemate for a few seconds, and suddenly rushed towards us like a feathered arrow.I was so frightened that I hurriedly backed away. Fortunately, Senior Brother Xuanchi had quick eyesight and quick hands. He pulled out his long sword with a whoosh, and cut the bat into two pieces with a few blows.

The bat was also really powerful, its body was split into two parts, and before it died on the spot, it still flapped its wings and struggled to attack us.Xuanchi stabbed again with his sword, and the beast stopped moving, and then it turned into a puddle of pus and blood.

Xuan Chi went to sniff the little old man, but he was powerless, so he shook his head helplessly.

"Brother, what is going on?" I asked with lingering fear.

Xuanchi put his long sword into its sheath, "If I'm not wrong, this is someone raising blood bats with people. This bat is very small when it is not sucking blood, and it can enter the internal organs from the mouth when people are not prepared. After the internal organs are emptied, Ripped out."

Who would come up with such a vicious and cruel method, it is simply inhumane.By the way, I suddenly thought of something, "Brother, it must be the black bat, who is now the head of the country. I have seen him drive the blood bat with my own eyes." I said.

Xuanchi nodded, "That's it. It's not far from Chang'an. It seems that the blood bat released by the black bat came here, which caused strange things in the village."

"Then what should we do now?" I looked at the little old man's body, I couldn't stay with the dead overnight.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, anyway, it's almost dawn. We must rush into the city." Xuanchi said.

We left the village and headed towards Chang'an.

After entering the city, the sun was already high, and it is said that the city should be a bustling scene at this time.However, what we see is quite the opposite.Except for a few passers-by in a hurry, the street was so lifeless that it didn't look like a place for living people.

Xuanchi and I looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling.Could it be that there are bloody bats here as well as the villages outside the city.

We walked forward a few more steps, and this time the sight we saw was simply shocking.There are white cloths hanging on the doors of people's houses everywhere in the city. It is obvious that someone died in the family.Except for the shop that bought the coffin, the rest of the shops were closed.

"Brother!" I yelled out of my thoughts.

Xuanchi nodded knowingly.We entered a coffin shop, and the boss welcomed us with joy.I guess he is the only one who can laugh now.

When Xuan Chi and I asked him what happened, the boss stopped smiling, and said with a wry smile: "This is a disaster brought by the messenger of death."

"Death Messenger? What do you say?" I asked in surprise.

"You don't know, a group of people came to this city half a month ago. They were all wearing black robes and black cloth veils, and no one knew their origins. They lived in the Yuelai Inn in the city on the day they came. But who knows, something terrible happened at night..." The boss kept talking, and it even made people feel a little weird.

I shivered involuntarily, turned around and looked out the door suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

The boss approached us, "All the people in the inn died mysteriously that night, and their internal organs were emptied. The most important thing is that the men in black disappeared."

"The internal organs have been emptied?" I subconsciously looked at Xuanchi, and it seemed that it was the black bat again.

"That's right! Don't mention how miserable it is. Later, people in this city died mysteriously every night, and the death condition was the same as that of the people in the Yuelai Inn. Everyone said that those men in black were the messengers of the god of death, and they came to seduce their souls." The boss says.

Although I already knew roughly what was going on, but listening to the boss's vivid narration, my scalp was still a little numb.We were really about to go out when we suddenly saw a pair of patrolling officers and soldiers coming across.These officers and soldiers were very arrogant, and when they saw people on the street, they would rudely arrest them and question them.

We are strangers, Xuanchi was afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly pulled me inside, and only came out after the officers and soldiers left.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Xuan Chi asked.

"This is to catch the eldest prince again!" The boss said selfishly, "I heard that the eldest prince was planning to murder the emperor. Fortunately, the head of the country discovered it in time. However, the eldest prince escaped. These days, the full name has been hunting for the eldest prince." The whereabouts. Tell me, when is this a head!" The boss shook his head and went in.

It seems that the water in Chang'an is much deeper than we thought.Looking at the situation now, I'm afraid that Renhuang has been completely controlled by the head of the country.So isn't Ji Baiyu throwing herself into a trap by going here?

I discussed it with Xuan Chi and decided to visit the palace at night, to see the situation first, and then wait for Kunlun's rescuers to arrive.

The imperial palace was already heavily guarded, and now it is even more dangerous.When Xuanchi and I went to explore the way during the day, we found that the West Gate in the palace was generally seldom visited by people.Therefore, he decided to choose Ximen to sneak into the palace.

After nightfall, we rushed to the west gate, and when the guards were not paying attention, we jumped onto the roof.Thanks to Ji Baiyu, I lived in the palace for a while, so I know the general direction of the emperor's palace.

But when we got there, we found that the guards had already surrounded the palace so tightly that it was impossible for even a fly to fly in, let alone two living people.

I looked at Xuan Chi helplessly, wanting to see if he could do anything.Xuanchi shook his head, motioning for us to leave here quickly.I nodded unwillingly and had no choice but to leave with him.

However, when I crossed a ridge, I accidentally stepped on a gap and almost fell.If Xuanchi hadn't caught me in time, I would have fallen and turned into a meatloaf.But this fall alarmed the guards, and soon many torches came from all directions, trying to surround us.

Xuanchi pulled me up and down to get rid of their entanglement.However, these people obviously made sufficient preparations in advance, advancing and retreating in a certain way, and blocked our retreat after a few back and forth.

Brother Xuanchi knew that this time it might be impossible to escape, so he drew the long sword around his waist and prepared to fight the trapped beast.In terms of strength, these people are definitely no match for Senior Brother Xuanchi.However, there are so many of them, and over time, we will be dragged down.When the time comes, isn't it a matter of minutes for us to catch them without a fight?
However, it doesn't matter much now.Those officers and soldiers attacked us tirelessly wave after wave. We fought back one wave, and someone came back immediately.Seeing that the sky is about to brighten, if we continue to fight, we really have no way out.

Xuanchi saw the right moment, swiped his long sword, knocked away the officer blocking the way on the right, and led me to break through from there.But those people are still chasing after them, and the number of them seems to have increased a lot.of
At this time, suddenly the front row retreated in unison, then a dozen archers came up, and then dozens of feathered arrows flew towards us in unison.Seeing that the situation was not good, Xuan Chi hurriedly spun his long sword to resist the rain of arrows.But the rain of arrows came one after another, more and more, if we persist in this stalemate, we will become hedgehogs.

In desperation, Xuanchi took a quick look and suddenly found a rockery in front of him.The rockery is airtight all around, and there are twists and turns inside, which is a good place to take refuge.He flew up, wrapped the flying feather arrow with his long sleeves, and moved forward.In an instant, many soldiers fell in response.We took the opportunity to enter the rockery.

We went in and took a look. It turned out that the rockery was arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams, and it was full of flags everywhere.There is a door next to the banner.I have seen this kind of formation in Kunlun, this formation is called Water and Fire Jiji Formation.There are many gates in the formation, but there is only one life gate, and the rest of the gates can be said to be a world of fire and water, and if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

How could there be such a formation here, who arranged it?We have no way of knowing this, and what makes us even more surprised is that this place seems to be some kind of forbidden area, because the soldiers stopped after chasing here, but they still kept shooting arrows.

Xuanchi took a look at the situation and led me towards the west gate.Ximen belongs to gold, which represents the chilling spirit, and has always been synonymous with the gate of death.However, senior brother Xuanchi chose the door of death, why is that?I followed him hesitantly, my heart full of puzzlement.

But, come to think of it, he knows a lot more about it than I do.Besides, he must have his reasons for doing so, so he followed in without thinking too much.

This door is really evil, it is cold and damp, making people feel like they have entered the late autumn.After we walked a few steps, there was a sudden loud noise, and the rocks on both sides squeezed over unexpectedly, and they were about to squeeze us into meat sauce in an instant.

Xuanchi flipped the long sword to the two sides, raised his hand and recited a few formulas, and then the sword light flashed and smashed the gossip disc on the top of the mountain.The disc was shattered, and the mountain wall stopped moving.

Damn, I stretched out my hand and measured it. If the mountain wall was a few inches further forward, we would really be a sandwich.

Going forward, the weather suddenly became better, and the hot people were burning.I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, and finally realized why it was so called.Dare to love is not cold to death you, not hot to death you will not give up!I'm going, I don't know who thought of such a wicked trick.

I looked around, wondering if there was another mechanism in front of me.Suddenly, Xuanchi stopped in his tracks.What happened?I looked forward in surprise.
