The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 138 Corpses Across the Fields (Thank you for your collection and recommendation!)

Although the distance between Xishan Island and Gusu City is not thousands of miles away, it is still more than a hundred nautical miles apart.

As the saying goes, the sky is different for ten miles, not to mention that in the land and sea, the distance is far away, the weather is different, which should be a common scene.

However, even with the barrier of Ten Thousand Mountains, the scene above Xishan Island today is no different from that of Gusu City.

But in the afternoon, the dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a gray and gloomy scene in front of my eyes, without the slightest appearance of a fairyland in a paradise. It seemed that the children in the sky were naughty for a while, and the ink on the inkstone was flooded. Let's go to the blue sky.

After being awakened by Liu Qi, Jiang Yichen came to the bow of the boat and looked towards the shore of Xishan Island, which was about a mile away.

There are many more boats at the ferry on the shore than usual. Could it be that they are used to transfer people on the island?

But as Liu Qi continued to row towards the shore, the smell of blood in the air gradually filled his nostrils.

"I am the most familiar with the waterways here. Every time there is a transfer of personnel on the island, the old man will let me participate. Of course, he will notify me in advance to arrange related matters. However, the old man has not sent a message recently. Today, there are more boats on the island. Quite a few, but it's very strange." Liu Qi expressed his concerns.

It is said that the spiritual sense of animals is much sharper than that of humans. When the wooden boat is getting closer and closer to the shore, the black general who has always been calm and orderly will lightly step on his horse's hooves, and it will definitely not be about to land on the shore. Excitement, but anxiety from the heart.

Obviously, General Hei has sensed the abnormality on the island.

"Xiaochen, did you smell that fishy smell?!" Liu Qi said in surprise.

For those who deal with water all the year round, they will never be surprised when they ask about the smell of fish. The only thing that will shock Liu Qi is the smell of human blood.

Jiang Yichen didn't turn his head back, and Liu Qizi didn't see the young man's frown that had already been furrowed into a ball. He could only hear the urging voice coming from the wind, "Brother Liu, hurry up."

Hearing this, Liu Qi stopped talking, threw away the short oar, replaced it with a long penny, inserted it into the gradually shallower water bottom, and pushed the boat to speed up.

When there were still a few feet away from the shore, Jiang Yichen's feet had already stepped on the edge of the bow.

Seeing that the boat was approaching the shore, Liu Qi stopped punting, and let the boat move towards the shore with inertia. With one hand free, his thumb and index finger were pressed together, sticking out of his mouth, and blew a crisp and sharp whistle The sound spread to the water bank.

Before long, there was a response from Yuanfang.

Accompanied by the clear and sharp chirping of a bird, a gray shadow spread its wings and flew out across the sky. After circling for a moment, after confirming the source of the whistle just now, it swooped down. It's hard to compare.

The gray shadow also attracted Jiang Yichen's attention, and when it flashed past him, it was almost blown into the water by the wind.

When he looked back, a gray bird with outstretched wings had landed firmly on Liu Qi's shoulder.

"Little Hui?" This gray bird belongs to the peregrine falcon family. Its wings are long and pointed, and its wings and tail are densely covered with white horizontal bands. Jiang Yichen has seen it several times when he was on the island, so it is not difficult to identify it. Invite, why use it.

"This is Xiaolan, look at the small mustache lines on its head are blue." Liu Qi pointed to Xiaolan's head, and Jiang Yichen was right at first sight.

Liu Qi caressed Xiaolan's folded wings and said: "In addition to Xiaolan and the little gray you mentioned, there is also Xiaoyan. Those who are not very familiar with it have not observed the detailed differences between them. The three of them are our good partners, if we need to send an urgent message, with their speed, we can fly to Chrysanthemum Garden within a day."

While speaking, the ship's hull shook slightly, and it was already docked, and at some point, Liu Qi already had a small piece of paper in his hand, bit his finger, and quickly drew a few strokes on the piece of paper.

Although the handwriting was scribbled, Jiang Yichen who was standing at the other end could vaguely see the two big bright red characters of "There has been change".

Liu Qi stuffed the folded piece of paper into a small piece of slender reed stem, Xiao Lan naturally bent down, bit the piece of reed stem, and stuck it at the end of her beak when she raised her head , Shake it twice, after confirming that it is safe, let out a soft cry as farewell, and then flap your wings and fly to Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Only Xiaolan was recruited. If Xiaohui and Xiaoyan were not on the island, they must have rushed to Juyuan to report the news before we came. I believe the old man will respond soon. Let's check the situation first. Now, remember, do what you can." Liu Qi said to Jiang Yichen after the two watched Xiao Lan leave.

"Yes." Jiang Yichen agreed.

Immediately, one held a sword and the other held an oar, and under the leadership of General Hei, they galloped towards the island.

After walking towards the island for a while, you can see three corpses on the ground in front of you, soaked in red, two of them are dressed in black, and the other is dressed as a fisherman. Although they are lying on the ground, they are covered by a bamboo hat Liu Qi was able to confirm the identity of this person as he could see a three-foot-long waist saber beside him.

"Old Liu!" Liu Qi shouted at the top of his voice, his voice trembling.

Jiang Yichen and Liu Qi got off their horses and walked quickly to the fisherman.

Liu Qi slowly took off the bamboo hat from the fisherman's head, there was no accident, it was indeed Liu Yiheng, a wanderer from Shochiku.

Seeing the red tide under Liu Yiheng's body, the two of them didn't need to turn him over, but they could also guess the tragedy in his chest and abdomen. They stretched out their hands to examine his body surface carefully, there was no temperature at all, and it seemed that he had been dead for a long time.

Jiang Yichen checked the two men in black again, but couldn't identify their identities, so he went back to General Hei silently, waiting for Liu Qi.

Knowing that Jiang Yichen was worried about the safety of other people on the island, Liu Qi closed Liu Yiheng's lost eyes lightly, and didn't dare to delay too much, and hurriedly continued to the island with Jiang Yichen.

General Hei's steps were fast and powerful, but the moods of the two on horseback also became more and more heavy amidst the rattling sound.

During the subsequent march, more and more corpses appeared in front of the two of them. Because of their familiarity with the people on the island, the two of them were just like before. For the corpses lying on the ground, except those enemies dressed in black In addition, one only needs to observe his attire and figure out his figure, and he does not need to get off his horse to get a closer look at his face, and he can already know whose corpse it is.

Without exception, Jiang Yunfeng, Lao Zheng, Aunt Li, etc., all lay down in a pool of blood.

The black general didn't stop, and the people on the horse never got off their horses, but their eyes were gradually stained red with blood.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene the two saw with corpses all over the field. The two dare not stop because they want to see people who can still stand. They hope to hear some sounds, except for the sound of horseshoes. Whether it is the sound of fighting, crying for help, even the sound of wailing is better than this empty space with the sound of horseshoes. They are eager to know whether there are any living people on the island...

Jiang Yichen's breathing became more and more rapid. Regardless of General Hei's pain, he directly beat him with the scabbard, urging him to speed up and run towards Xiaoxiang Valley.

"There are so many strange ships by the ferry. Apart from these dead ones, there must still be thieves who have not yet left. The Xiaoxiang Valley is deep in the island. They must not have found it yet. Don't panic." Feeling the hair of the young man in front of him With a trembling body, Liu Qi comforted him.

The horse galloped, and no matter how fast the pace was, it could not be faster than the beating pulse at this moment.

The cold wind is bitter, no matter how cold the temperature is, it can't match the cold heart at this moment.

"Mother will be all right, all will be all right..." The words on Jiang Yichen's lips were already vague, but he still kept talking, not only to strengthen his composure, but also to ask for God's protection.

Going forward from Diecuitan is Caiwu Cliff, and Xiaoxiang Valley is within easy reach.

However, the emerald-like emerald pool water should have turned into a big dye vat at this time, reflecting the sky red.

There were several black corpses floating on the surface of the pool, and the number of black shadows lying motionless on the boulders by the pool was no less than a dozen.

Raindrops fell from the sky, as if they were about to play a burial song on the Emerald Lake.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a person in red leaning on the rocks on the mountain path beside the Diecui Lake, as if he was still alive.

After staying a little closer, I realized that the person was wearing white clothes, but the color had been changed by scarlet, and the loose long hair covered the entire face, and what people couldn't ignore was the huge chest in front of this person. Presumably, only a heavy hammer was dropped from his chest to create such a shocking wound.

The scars on the rest of the body have been eclipsed by this hole, this is the real fatal wound!

After suffering such a blow, it would be a miracle if this person survived.

There is a sword on the right side of the man in red, and this sword seems to be the key to keeping him from slipping and falling to the ground.

Jiang Yichen looked very familiar with that sword.

The whole body is crystal clear, as thin as a cicada's wing, but it can break ice. This sword is the ice-breaking sword, the ice-breaking sword of Xue Qing, the Gushuang swordsman!

"Uncle Xue!" Jiang Yichen fell off his horse and cried out.
