Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 2: No Worldly Desires

Yu Ziqing succeeded in one blow and instantly killed one of the strong men.

Scorching power burst out from within the body, Qi and blood rushed like a great river, and the cold air outside seemed to no longer exist.

He took a light breath, and the moment his eyes glanced over the remaining three people, the boiling blood in his body burst out suddenly. When the dust under his feet rose slightly, the figure had already swept away several feet, and went straight to the three people.

The scar-faced man snarled, opened his mouth to spit out, and a cloud of black mist sprayed out, accompanied by the rustling of mosquitoes, and came straight towards Yu Ziqing.

However, Yu Ziqing was expressionless, and the information collected before naturally appeared in his mind. At the same time the other party made a move, he bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of hot blood turned into a sharp arrow and flew out.

The blood arrow sank into the black mist, and there was a sizzling sound immediately. Before he could reach the figure, the short sword in his hand was released, turning into a silver light, and submerged into the black mist.

Yu Ziqing's figure followed closely behind, and in the blink of an eye, he saw the black mist rolling and dissipating to the sides. Yu Ziqing held the dagger in his hand and pulled it out of the scar-faced man's mouth, moving like a cheetah attacking , and continued to run towards the other two.

After a few breaths, four corpses lay on the ground.

Last night, he had already collected the necessary information of the four people. The dagger and scabbard that had been rusted together had a gap at the place where they were handed over. This meant that a trace of the original rust had fallen off, which also meant that, Judgment is complete.

As long as he makes a move, he will be able to kill the opponent.

Yu Ziqing held the dagger in his hand, pondered for a while, and then stepped forward to make up the sword one by one.

These guys are so powerful in the evil sect, who knows what evil methods they haven't displayed yet.

According to the previous eavesdropping on these guys chatting in a tongue-twisting dialect, and occasionally chatting about other people, they talked about some of the fun.

A certain evil way was slaughtered by someone, and after being so-and-so, he was completely destroyed, so he couldn't go anywhere in the past few years.

Here and there, Yu Ziqing summed up the most common ways to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as to avoid future troubles and avoid the other party's routine of "you won't let you go even if you become a ghost".

Cut off the head and burn it separately; dig out the heart and feed it to the beast; cut off the body and suppress both sides of the river; pierce the three seas, seal the coffin with talismans, etc...

With such a set up, basically there is no chance of becoming a ghost.

On the contrary, casual burial or simple cremation, because of the strong resentment, has a greater chance of turning into a ghost, and there have even been cases where the resentment itself was not completely processed, allowing the resentment itself to generate consciousness and turn into a demon to take revenge.

Then there is nothing to hesitate, Yu Ziqing gave these guys a complete set as much as possible according to the existing conditions.

After a while, he lit two piles of flames with the kerosene he had found, and then threw the severed hair, black whip and other evil things into it for cremation.

Before the other things were sorted out, Yu Ziqing's energy and blood surging like a scorching sun quickly decayed and dissipated as a gust of wind blew by, and he returned to his original appearance in an instant.

His body was haggard, his cheeks were sunken, his waist seemed to have no strength to straighten up, and the cold wind around him seemed to appear out of thin air, making him shiver.

The silver dagger exuding a biting cold air also returned to its original appearance.

The sword body and the scabbard have been completely rusted together, which means that there is no target to draw the sword.

Everything I felt just now was like an illusion, only the memory of the power flowing smoothly like instinct has not dissipated.

"cough……"

Yu Ziqing coughed lightly, moved away from the stinky and burnt bonfire, put the things he had found to carry into a bag, and stuffed them into his arms.

Going around the foot of the mountain and coming to the other side, the long-haired cows were still lying on the ground waiting for the night to pass, and more than 100 goats gathered together, shivering in the col to avoid the cold.

Other than that, not a single living person can be seen...

Seeing Yu Ziqing approaching, a skinny old goat squeezed out of the flock, ran all the way to Yu Ziqing, looked up at Yu Ziqing, and bleated.

Yu Ziqing squatted down, twitched the corners of his mouth, and showed a bright smile with a pure face.

"Old man, I didn't expect it, I didn't die, I'm fine, those evil guys just now were about to make a move, when a master suddenly appeared...

Well, it was the kind of super expert who fell from the sky with a whoosh, and his whole body exuded light. He stabbed the four guys to death with one finger, and then disappeared with a whoosh. "

Lao Yang's eyes widened, and he became even more anxious, obviously not believing Yu Ziqing's nonsense.

Yu Ziqing laughed, and said seriously.

"Well, that's what I said casually. In fact, I have special abilities. I didn't want to reveal them at first, but I was forced to suddenly awaken and burst out, making me a master for a short time. Evil does not invade.

Those evil guys couldn't hurt me at all, I hacked four of them to death with one sword, like killing chickens. "

Without waiting for Lao Yang to say anything, Yu Ziqing took Lao Yang directly across the foot of the mountain and let him see the two bonfires that were still burning.

Vaguely, he could still see the corpse burning in the bonfire. The arms of the corpse were almost as thick as Yu Ziqing's waist. Who else could there be except those four strong men.

The old sheep looked a little dazed, and now he has to believe it if he doesn't believe it.

I believed the nonsense that there happened to be a master passing by and killed the evil spirits. After all, it was really possible.

The wilderness here borders on the northwest of Dagan. A major natural disaster has occurred here. It is impossible for people from other places to come so quickly. I dare not make a conclusion, but Dagan will definitely send people to inspect it as soon as possible and get first-hand information. message.

And the ones who arrive first will definitely not be too weak, so it makes sense to kill the evil way easily.

As for the claim that Yu Ziqing acted on his own, with Yu Ziqing's slender arms and legs, and his weak Qi and blood, Lao Yang didn't think about this possibility at all.

The dagger that Yu Ziqing was holding around his waist for pretense was rusty, and it didn't even have a trace of blood, and it even stabbed someone to death...

This young man is pretty good in other places, but he always talks nonsense, and he used to brag about his hometown, where no one will starve to death, and everyone has eaten meat.

Lao Yang came back to his senses and sighed secretly again, what a good young man, it's a pity that he is not dumb.

Yu Ziqing babbled a few words, seeing that Lao Yang's mood had stabilized, he was secretly relieved.

To be honest, if it is not necessary, even if he is sure to kill, he has no intention of killing those evil strongmen now.

Those evil people thought that Yu Ziqing couldn't understand their tongue-in-cheek dialect, and never recited them when they said something. Of course, it's more likely that they didn't care at all.

More than half of Yu Ziqing's existing information is compiled by eavesdropping bit by bit every day. About the details of the Jinlan mine, the few strong men rarely talked about it, and they have always kept secrets about that mine. , refused to talk deeply.

It's just that they need Jinlan ore, a scarce product, and the mine also needs the people they brought, so they will go to the so-called mine.

If there is another choice, Yu Ziqing doesn't want to go to the mine where he holds his heels and knows it's not a good place.

After all, would a decent mine make a deal with an evil person?
It's a pity that there is no other choice, and there are only a few supplies left.

Even if he was eaten, even if he was killed, it was better than dying of hunger and thirst in this wilderness, there was always a chance to give it a go.

People, at least, should not be starved to death.

Now that those few strongmen are gone, the mines that are close at hand must still be visited, but the variables are much more out of thin air.

There is nothing to regret if you do it, anyway, Yu Ziqing definitely can't bear not to make a move and let others slaughter him, and he can't watch that old gentleman who taught him a lot, being hung up to cut his flesh.

Lao Yang seemed to see Yu Ziqing's worry, stretched out a hoof, and touched Yu Ziqing.

"It's okay, that mine is not far away. We'll go there when it's dawn. We'll talk about it first after surviving. It's just that, old man, you've got an evil spell in your body. I'm afraid you won't be able to solve it for a while."

Lao Yang shook his head, but he was open-minded and didn't worry about his current appearance.

"It's not impossible to solve it, but you have been under the evil spell for a long time, and I don't know the evil spell of those people. As far as I know, the easiest way to resolve it is to peel off the sheepskin, but now you If you have the best butcher's physical condition, you may not be able to bear the pain of skinning.

When we get there, I will find a way to feed us all and let us take care of ourselves. "

The old sheep pointed to the direction of the mine, then pointed to himself, wrote the word "eat" on the ground, and crossed it out.

Yu Ziqing pondered for a moment, understood the meaning, and nodded.

"That's right, these people use evil methods to plunder people, and they put in so much effort. It's not really just for eating fresh mutton. In my opinion, it's true that it's convenient to carry and easier to hide. Maybe there will be people there." There's a solution."

Silent all night.

The sky is bright, but the temperature has not risen much, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Yu Ziqing's whole body was a little stiff from the cold, so he got up and boiled some hot water, soaked dry naan bread that was like a stone, and ate it. After half an hour, he felt a little warm.

Look, this is another reason why I didn't plan to kill those strong men in a hurry before. It's much easier to have four humanoid stoves beside me.

Yu Ziqing counted some of the spoils from the few spoils, and buried them quietly under a pile of rocks with great effort. There is always nothing wrong with making more plans.

The sky was bright and under the dim sunlight, the team continued to set off, the flock of sheep followed behind in a daze, and the distant mountains were getting closer and closer. After entering the continuous mountains, the temperature suddenly rose a little.

Yu Ziqing was shocked, and hurriedly climbed up a mountain, looked around, and searched in the valley for a while.

"Old man, I took a rough look. It is surrounded by mountains, and it seems to be a closed whole. There seems to be geothermal heat in the ground. There are still people active in the mine here, which may be the reason."

As soon as I entered the mountains, I got a rare piece of good news. Under the increasingly cold weather, it is really difficult to find a warm place.

However, after the team entered the mountains, followed the looming path, and crossed three hilltops, Yu Ziqing felt that something was not quite right.

You can see green here.

There is a hillside on each side. On the left side of the hillside, there are some scattered dead trees left. At the top is a protruding cliff, and behind it is a bottomless rift.

The right side is very neatly covered with locust trees, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a bunch of gray flowers hanging upside down, and a thick layer of fallen leaves is spread on the ground.

From a distance, the whole forest looks like soldiers in formation.

Yu Ziqing frowned slightly. Logically speaking, even if the mountains were obviously a little warmer, even if these trees were not dead, the leaves should have fallen long ago. There was no reason for them to continue to bloom.

Even if the natural conditions here allow it, all the leaves and flowers will not have any traces of being eaten, right?Those running and fleeing animals didn't pass by here?
Before Yu Ziqing could think about it, there was a commotion from the flock of sheep following behind. The skinny goats, all confused and headless, saw the branches and bouquets that almost fell to the ground, and went straight to the hillside on the right. go.

"If you want to die, go."

Yu Ziqing stood where he was and offered some advice.

Seeing that some goats seemed to understand, they hesitated and did not dare to go forward. There were still a few goats, but they rushed up to eat leaves and flowers like crazy.

However, nothing happened.

There are only happy bleats, accompanied by crunching sounds, interlaced.

Seeing that a few of the sheep were fine, and their shriveled belly swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, another sheep in the flock couldn't help it, and rushed up.

After a while, the round-bellied goats stopped contentedly, and collapsed under the tree one by one, with extremely satisfied smiles on their faces.

At this moment, their bodies were slowly sinking into the fallen leaves on the ground, and the fallen leaves were like quicksand, swallowing them up bit by bit.

In just a few breaths, everything was calm.

But the few remaining goats who were not full, seemed to have seen nothing, and were still gnawing on the leaves and flowers contentedly.

Everything looked harmonious, but Yu Ziqing's hair was about to explode.

He firmly grasped the old sheep who was already somewhat confused, and prevented him from going to the locust tree forest, and dragged the old sheep along the path in the middle of the mountain, and continued to move forward.

At this time, on the hillside with only a few sparse dead trees on the left, a young woman in a long gown slowly emerged from behind a dead tree.

She poked her head out from behind the dead tree, with a little anxiety in her eyes, glanced at the flock of sheep, and waved to Yu Ziqing.

"Go this way, it's dangerous over there."

Yu Ziqing tilted his head to take a look, then bowed his head and said to Lao Yang.

"Old man, do you think this woman who popped up suddenly took me for a mallet?"

Lao Yang looked right, then left, and nodded seriously at Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing sighed, and tightened the broken cloak on his body.

He stared at the woman carefully and scanned it. In the weather that can freeze to death, he was wearing a thin and somewhat ripped gown. Judging by the standards given by the old man, if it was in a bustling place, it would surely attract the attention of many old men. .

"Big sister, stop posing, the weather has already made people lose their worldly desires."

With that said, Yu Ziqing was about to step on the path in the middle and continue on.

He didn't want to go to the left or right, and neither side must be a good place.

On the one hand, he died strangely and quietly, on the other hand, he was definitely not human.

However, the next moment, when Yu Ziqing's feet were about to land on the ground, he glanced subconsciously, and saw that the woman was still anxiously blocking her movements like they were playing back, and his heart skipped a beat.

Broken and fooled.

This guy just wants to go the middle way on his own.

　The contract has not been sent yet, and it is estimated that the status will be changed in two days.
