Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

He immediately felt that his idea was unnecessary. In such a loosely distributed area with numerous tribal settlements, it was really difficult to control the entry of monks.

While we were chatting, Wardfa and the others came back.

The escort team left the town and walked a few steps away from the crowd.

Nan Hongsha couldn't wait to ask, "Hurry up and tell me what you found out! What's the current situation in the black car country? Do you want to take a detour?"

Wardfa looked disappointed and regretful, but he sighed and nodded, "We have to take a detour. That Scorpion Demon spread the word in the Black Car Country that he's coming back, which has put the Black Car Country on alert again. It's really annoying!"

Chu Wuji really didn't understand, and he suspected that he was missing some background information.

What connection does the Black Car Nation have with the Scorpion Demon? My group isn't the Scorpion Demon, so why are they so concerned about the Black Car Nation? Why not just have the Black Car Nation team check our group and make sure there's no Scorpion Demon on their team?

The two big sheep horses were very smart and seemed to have been paying attention to Chu Wuji. Noticing his confused reaction, they gently kicked their legs to remind Guanyin to help explain.

Miss Guanyin touched their heads helplessly and helped to explain:

"The Scorpion Demon and the Black Car Kingdom are at odds. One story goes that she impersonated the Black Car Kingdom's princess for over a decade. One day, her cover was exposed, and she transformed into a giant black scorpion in public, fleeing and severely damaging the Black Car Kingdom's reputation... She carried the life of a royal family member, and the vengeance is inextricable."

This is easy to understand. The fact that she could pretend to be a princess for more than ten years means that the real princess had been killed long ago. She was like a cat replacing a prince, and a scorpion pretending to be a princess.

Chu Wuji nodded and asked again:

"Then what does this have to do with us? Let the Black Car Nation's guards investigate and find out that there's nothing unusual in our group. We're just passing through to Tinglei Ridge. Isn't that enough?"

Nan Hongsha poked Wardfa's butt with his spear, just a light touch, but Wardfa's burns had not healed yet, and the grown man was so sensitive that he immediately jumped and his legs tensed.

Standing at attention quite standardly!

"You guys are the most familiar with the Black Car Country. You've never even entered the country, yet you've talked about beauties hundreds of times. Hurry up and introduce the unruly people there to Master Chu!"

"Just introduce yourself, but don't poke me. If you do, it will be considered a work-related injury!"

Wardfa cursed, took off his breastplate, tied it on his hip, and said:

"Mr. Chu, you don't know how xenophobic Black Car Country is. It's completely different from the situation in Jieshi City where 'city dwellers look down on outsiders, and outsiders look down on outsiders'!"

He mentioned,

The border guards of the Black Car Kingdom are all fanatical followers of a certain beauty in the city. They are willing to protect the beauty in their hearts without asking for food or salary, for fear that unknown people will harm the woman they love.

Another escort said, "It's not that they're afraid you'll sneak in and cause trouble, but they're afraid you'll catch a glimpse of this beautiful woman and feel like you've taken advantage of her for nothing!"

"Once the Black Car Country imposes martial law, those border guards will go on a rampage like mad dogs, and everyone will come after you!"

"The Scorpion Demon will observe these martial law movements to see if anyone is approaching her position, and in disguise, use the Black Car Kingdom's guards as her own warning signal."

The Fox Goddess lay on the lapel of Chu Wuji's clothes, listening intently, but she didn't understand what was going on. She complained in a voice that only Chu Wuji could hear:

"They like to pass on portraits, praising the beauty of their women, yet they guard their land tightly, not allowing outsiders to see it. What a strange local custom..."

Chu Wuji nodded secretly. He had the same idea as the Heavenly Fox Goddess.

The practices of this black market country are very similar to those of the Qing Dynasty. They're driving up prices, then not letting the unscrupulous buyers buy them. What's the point of a night of pleasure?

He didn't worry about it. The escort team was familiar with this place and he just had to follow their arrangements.

"Wardfa, you guys have been talking about how there are so many beautiful women in Black Car Country, and it's made even a foreigner like me curious. Are they really that beautiful?"

The Western Region escorts who had gone there to have a drink earlier had strange expressions on their faces.

Wardfa was not afraid of slapping himself in the face and said:

"She was indeed very famous before. Every three years, they would select the most beautiful women in the Black Car Country. Just looking at the pictures is breathtaking, especially before the Scorpion Spirit revealed her true monster form. That year, as the princess, she was ranked second on the list. She was incredibly beautiful!

I just took a look at the scroll, and the facial features are all beautiful individually, but there's something inexplicably strange about it, like a portrait of a deceased person...?"

*

The convoy took a detour and prepared to sneak through a less defended area, directly to Tinglei Ridge to meet up with Old Man Xiang.

To be on the safe side, Chu Wuji and Miss Guanyin left the team temporarily to confirm the situation ahead.

Chu Wuji felt that at this point, he should be able to ask the Heavenly Fox Goddess for help and "jump over" directly.

However, Goddess Sky Fox said that this way of traveling would easily expose the target and would be very obvious to the cultivators' senses. Since they were close to the Scorpion Demon's activity area, they would be even more easily detected.

Unless you find that the Scorpion Demon is ready to undergo a tribulation, it is better to just walk past him.

"Oh no! Why are there guards here?"

Chu Wuji was about to say that he was unlucky, but Miss Guanyin looked serious, made a gesture to silence him, and shook her head to remind him not to speak.

The two hid behind a huge rock and lurked for a while, and sure enough, there was movement from the guard team.

Three women wearing sand-proof cloaks suddenly jumped down from the ten-meter-high stone cliff steps. They landed straight and steadily without bending their knees, and their bodies seemed extremely stiff.

Looking at their faces again, the three of them had similar facial features, stiff facial muscles, and their makeup was pale, like putty on the wall.

Wardfa and the others were right, this was the burial makeup of a female corpse!

After a woman dies, in order to have a graceful burial, her body will usually be made up to make her look better. However, this is usually done only by women from good families. Ordinary people can just cremate her and be done with it, as they don't have the money to do so much.

Since she was to be buried in a grand ceremony, her facial features were naturally made up beautifully, and each one looked very delicate when viewed individually, but that was not the makeup for a living person.

If we depict them on the scroll, what else could it be but their remains?

Chu Wuji's pupils were like eagle eyes, observing the situation over there clearly. He wondered in his heart:

"What the hell is this?"

It’s worthy of being a country of illegal taxis. Where do the beauties come from? They are all illegal taxis!

Chapter 145: A Black Car? It’s a Hearse!

Chu Wuji felt that many of his doubts had been explained, such as why the behavior of this Black Car Country was so strange.

It turned out to be such a thing!

Relying on paintings of beautiful women to attract admirers to "apply" and make them willingly serve as soldiers and laborers.

Judging from the mental state of those guards, they don't seem like normal people. I don't know what kind of evil magic they used.

But it doesn't seem difficult for the Black Car Country to create such a female corpse to seduce people and control their minds.

"Miss Guanyin, what are the arrangements now?" Chu Wuji didn't dare to say a word, only revealing his mouth shape. He was worried whether the exotic beauty beside him understood him.

As the leader of the escort team, Guanyin is able to gain the trust of everyone, not only because of her status, but also because of her own outstanding abilities.

She shook her head slightly and mouthed back: "..."

Chu Wuji's eyebrow twitched, and he used an expressionless face to hide his embarrassment - he didn't see clearly what was said.

The pretty blonde was stunned for a moment, but she didn't make fun of the young man. She just thought that her headscarf was blocking her view.

While paying attention to the movements of the garrison, she carefully lifted her hood and tucked a few strands of her gorgeous, slightly curly golden hair behind her ears. She slightly opened her moist, fragrant lips, and her silver teeth and pink tongue were faintly visible as she opened and closed them.

This time he understood. Miss Guanyin said that they should observe for the time being to see whether this group of people would leave.

The guards on patrol showed abnormal surprise and excitement when they saw the arrival of several beauties with heavy makeup.

He suddenly left his post, as excited and eager as a mad monkey.

"We are here to bring you food. Today's meal is bone and meat porridge!" said the woman in funeral makeup. She must have wanted to appear gentle, but her voice was strangely hoarse.

"Thank you, girls!" the guard responded enthusiastically.

Afterwards, several women put down the wooden barrels in their hands, one took out a large rice bowl, and one was responsible for pouring porridge into it.

When the porridge dripped down, it turned out to be food that looked like slop, like someone else's leftover kitchen waste. You could smell the sour smell from a long distance away.

The guards expressed their gratitude while eating the "bone and flesh porridge" with big mouthfuls.

The woman in charge of the burial said, "After dinner, go out and earn some money to support your family. I will be waiting for you here, thinking of you!"

The man on guard nodded with tears in his eyes.

"......" Chu Wuji frowned, and Miss Guanyin couldn't bear to look at it, so she covered her mouth to avoid making vomiting sounds.

Suddenly, the Fox Goddess scratched Chu Wuji's chest with her little claws, and with a gloating smile, she reminded him:

"My dear, I've been discovered! In the sky!"

"!?"

Chu Wuji raised his head suddenly and saw several paper figures used for visiting graves flying in the sky. The paper figures also had corpses painted on them, with smiles on their faces, looking creepy.

"Why are there guests?" The paper man let out a shrill laugh, then fell like a kite with a broken string, flying towards Chu Wuji and Guanyin.

The guards and the woman doing the undertaker's makeup nearby were alarmed and chased after the two of them.

"Holy Fire Burns Purely!"

Miss Guanyin was indeed no ordinary person. She raised her slender hands, twisted her white jade fingers lightly, and then flicked them towards the paper man in the sky.

A few sparks the size of rice grains connected to form a curtain of fire, instantly cremating the paper man. The paper man had no time to launch an attack, and not even ashes were left.

"Do the Western Region's martial arts techniques need to be named?"

Chu Wuji muttered in his heart, but did not stand there stupidly. If this alarmed more guards, it would be bad!

We must intercept and kill these people as soon as possible to buy more time for smuggling!

Even if it is discovered later that there are fewer people on the defense line, the position of their group cannot be locked.

"We've endured so much hardship, finally expressing our sincerity and finally being able to see the beautiful face of the woman of our dreams, and yet you shamelessly peek at us!"

The men in the garrison immediately became furious and charged forward, brandishing their weapons.

These people probably can't even see spiritual energy. They are really not up to par. Chu Wuji doesn't want to let them get close to him, so as not to get himself covered in stinky sewage.

"Go away!"

He threw a punch through the air, unleashing a burst of hidden energy. First, one punch turned them into a bloody mist, and the subsequent dark energy dispersed the bloody mist.

The blood-colored fist flew straight forward and hit the women in funeral attire. Their cloaks were torn, but their bodies were not broken. Instead, they swayed like tumblers and bounced back to their original positions.

Looking closely, I saw that half of their faces and chests were sunken and there was no trace of blood.

"So hard?" Chu Wuji was genuinely surprised. "It's been a long time since I've touched something this good!"

Several women in funeral attire jumped high, moving like zombies, and stepped down on Chu Wuzhi's head.

Chu Wuji didn't bother to practice anymore. He tapped the jade hairpin on his waist, and Mo Zhi turned into a flying sword, slashing in the air -

In the trajectory of the sword like ink brush strokes, the woman in funeral makeup fell into several pieces. Her internal structure did not look like a human body, but more like a human figure wrapped in layers of human skin.

The hardest thing is this human skin, which is comparable to diamond!

The fight was over quickly and cleanly.

In the back, the escort team that had been hiding and waiting came to support. Several escorts drew their swords and shouted angrily, "Here I come!"

——But I didn’t expect that the battle was over and I had nothing to do with it.

"What happened here?" Nan Hongsha's beautiful eyes were like torches as she scanned the surroundings, but she couldn't find an enemy for the spear in her hand.

However, her gaze soon fell on Chu Wuzhi's flying sword. Her eyes lit up with a strange light and she sighed in shock.

Being able to control flying swords to kill enemies, is this a powerful immortal master? I wonder what other magic he can do!

"Oh my god, is this a corpse or something else?" Wardfa was shocked and stared at the "corpse part" under his feet.

Miss Guanyin did not rush to explain, she quickly gave instructions:

"Hurry and head to Tinglei Ridge. Don't delay. Reinforcements might be arriving soon!"

The escort team had a tacit understanding with each other. Without saying anything more, they immediately formed a team and set off. Any doubts and curiosities they had could be left for later discussion.

Nan Hongsha kicked the "corpse" on the ground away, kicked it in the direction they came from, then quickly mounted his horse and said:

"I wonder if we can disguise it as us bringing back 'corpse parts' and spread the word. The Black Car Nation's guards are quite frantic, and we might be able to divert their pursuit."

Chu Wuji felt that it was really possible. The guards were afraid that the "beauty's" face would be seen by others for a second longer. If they found someone running away with these things, they would probably react strongly.

The group rushed towards Tinglei Ridge. After running for a distance, Nan Hongsha blew a whistle, and a fire falcon landed on her arm. She released it to investigate the situation.

The Flame Falcon and South Red Sand shared the sight, capturing the martial law situation in the Black Car Kingdom.

After a moment, the gun-wielding girl retracted this unique skill and said with a smile:

"Those people actually went after the 'corpse fragments', thinking we'd run back to the town to tip off. I wonder if they'll start a fight with the monks!"

Wardfa scratched his head, the honest man still felt a little guilty:
