Romance of Gods

Chapter 177 Aoshan Village

"kill!"

The leader clapped his legs on the horse and wiped his sword with his long sleeve. When he saw Chen Yan and others, he immediately became full of fighting spirit and roared.

The dust was flying, the stirrups collided with each other, and the clanking sound sounded in the mountains and fields, which was particularly crisp.

"The bandits are here!"

The two villagers, as if facing a formidable enemy, drew out their sabers and held them in front of them, not forgetting to remind Chen Yan.

"Brother, come down the mountain quickly! Go to the village and call for reinforcements!"

Chen Yan remained motionless, opened his eyes and took a look, and the message from the leader of the big man instantly came into his eyes.

talent:

Martial arts intelligence [When practicing martial arts skills, the comprehension speed is increased by 10%]

Chen Yan nodded secretly when he saw this.

He was not interested in the dispute between the villagers and the bandits, but he wanted to try the power of this magical skill so that he could have a sense of confidence when he ventured into the Ming Dynasty.

"The little flower fell into their hands, what should I do?"

When Wu Zhengting heard this, he looked at the others and replied in a deep voice: "The reason they left Xiaohua alive is just to make us use the weapon as a weapon against rats. There is no other way. If we can, we will protect her. If we can't, we can't let Xiaohua fall into the hands of Ashan Village!"

"understand……"

[The good form has been liberated, self-healing ability can be improved, and immunity from long-range attacks has been improved]

The cavalry, which was like a wall, pushed forward all the way. When they were less than a hundred meters away from the three of them, the two villagers looked at each other and rushed forward like a mantis with their arms as a chariot, charging forward.

"Die!"

Wu Zhengting rushed to the front and was angry and disdainful when he saw this.

He suddenly raised his hand, and his right arm hidden in his sleeve suddenly expanded ten times. There was a squeaking sound and the sleeve was broken.

The arms were like a giant python that had been stripped of its skin, falling rapidly in mid-air.

Although they were still five or six feet away from the two villagers, the machete held by the giant arm had already struck the two people above their heads.

Just as the two of them were about to be shattered into pieces, a black demon horse appeared out of thin air, running as fast as a ghost.

Chen Yan placed Xiao Hua in front of the saddle and quickly charged forward with a knife in one hand.

when!
Where the machete and Mo Dao collided, sparks shot out, and the huge force hit Chen Yan and Wu Zhengting respectively.

"This is the divine martial arts skill..."

Chen Yan looked at the opponent's swollen and mutated arms, feeling surprised.

Now his strength, calculated specifically, should be five or six times that of ordinary people.

But the other party was able to compete with him with physical strength.

This is just a beginning level... If the opponent's divine martial proficiency reaches the upper or upper limit, you may not be his opponent.

As Maggie once said in London, never underestimate the power of people.

Even if they have not become a god actor, in the world of Zhutian Romance, there are still people who have mastered extraordinary power through other channels.

Buying this divine martial essence can provide you with a lot of help.

In the world of competition, there are indeed both benefits and risks. Just one item sold in the treasury can greatly increase one's strength.

The black horse and the big bay-red horse stopped in place. When their masters were fighting on their backs, the two horses also breathed like dragons, grinding their teeth and neighing.

Although Chen Yan had saved two villagers just now, they were killed by other bandits in the blink of an eye, and their bodies were chopped into minced meat.

"Stop hitting..."

Xiaohua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, but the weak children's voice was instantly drowned in the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.

The bandits tightened their reins and surrounded Chen Yan and the two men in the center. They were all frightened when they saw Wu Zhengting's right arm being pressed down and slowly falling.

They were about to help, but they heard Wu Zhengting shouting: "You go to Aoshan Village first! Leave this person to me!"

Before he finished speaking, his arm suddenly shrank in size, as if drawing blood.

Two red dragons as thick as hemp ropes rolled out from his palm, wrapped around the blade, and charged towards Chen Yan.

Wandering Dragon Sword!

Wu Zhengting was quite majestic. As soon as he gave the order, the bandits immediately dispersed, turned around and ran down the mountain.

Blame the fire!

Bloody flames poured out like a head of green hair, covering the blade.

Chen Yan twisted his mouth, and all the cells in his body breathed rapidly. Like a bellows with full force, the thin air surged out and gathered into wind.

The wind helped the fire, crackling sounds were heard, and the fire was blown to a high level, turning into a terrifying beast with irregular shapes, swallowing two blood dragons in an instant.

Wu Zhengting turned pale in shock, his body illuminated by the fire.

Who is this person from?The methods he displayed were nothing like divine martial arts!
After one move, Chen Yan had a vague understanding of this magical martial skill.

It is probably a mysterious method based on Qi and blood to strengthen oneself.

boom!
Wu Zhengting flattened the blade of the knife and lifted it up with a bang. Just when he was about to take the opportunity to pull out the knife, the Mo Dao wrapped in flames bit him again.

"Hey!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, the blade of the blade exploded with cold light, and the cold air roared into a whirlpool, instantly reducing the scorching fire.

Yin demon power!
Chen Yan said, this martial arts performance is very similar to the mysterious martial arts in martial arts novels.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have obviously studied how to use the power of Qi and blood to a very high level.

But in terms of true strength, Wu Zhengting is far inferior to himself.

Now that you have experienced this magical skill, there is no need to continue to struggle with him.

Suddenly, the shadow of the knife slashing crazily was like a violent storm, aiming at Wu Zhengting and slashing away at Wu Zhengting.

when!when!when!
"what!"

Only then did Wu Zhengting really feel a hint of fear, as the opponent's strength completely crushed him.

Not to mention fighting against him, he couldn't see clearly the angle at which Chen Yan drew his sword.

And the opponent... was still holding a long-handled weapon with one hand.

He struggled to resist the knife shadow coming from the cunning attack, but suddenly without paying attention, the back of the knife suddenly fell on his shoulder, and his body was shaky.

Chen Yan took the opportunity to press his wrist hard, causing Wu Zhengting to fall off the horse with a bang.

When he raised his head, the shimmering blade was already pointing between his eyebrows. "Your Excellency is good at your methods. I'm convinced. If you want to kill me, just kill me!"

kill?

Chen Yan had no such plan. Although the other party was a bandit, the villagers who ripped out their hearts and souls were not kind people either.

I am new to the world of competition and have no intention of getting involved in these feuds.

"Bad guy, you are a bad guy..."

At this time, Xiaohua suddenly punched Chen Yan's chest with her small fist. Although her expression was strong, if she put this little strength on Chen Yan, she might as well have been bitten by a mosquito.

"Do you know this little girl?"

Wu Zhengting was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He did not answer, but asked: "Your Excellency, are you not a local?"

"No, I was traveling around the world and passed by this place."

"I'm sorry. I acted rashly just now. I thought you were an accomplice of those two villagers." Wu Zhengting sighed: "The villagers here are not human beings, they are cannibals! This little girl is the sister of one of my men. , later today, I took her brother and a group of brothers through here, and I was accidentally ambushed by the villagers. Everyone else died, and I escaped with my life. Now I am going to this Ashan Village for revenge. Since You are not a local, so please leave quickly and be careful of unnecessary consequences."

The villagers said that the bandits were demons, and the bandits said that the villagers were evil spirits... It turns out that fire and water are incompatible.

"Since you know each other, I'll leave this little girl to you."

Chen Yan put away the knife, and Wu Zhengting stood up and hugged Xiaohua in front of the saddle.

When leaving Chen Yan, Xiaohua's fierce expression immediately dissipated, and she became a little reluctant again.

"He is a good man... He said that my brother would come back, and he would dig a big hole to bury my brother and the others in..."

"Thank you knight, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this little girl would have been killed by those two bastards." Wu Zhengting looked at the unfinished tomb in front of him with lingering fear, "I think they left Xiaohua's life behind. It’s just for bait, trying to lure us in so that we can catch them all in one go.”

Before he finished speaking, the bandits who had just gone away suddenly turned back, and then the blazing fire illuminated the surrounding mountains and fields.

When he saw Wu Zhengting standing in front of Chen Yanma, he was too impatient to ask for the truth, and immediately thought that the bright guy wanted to attack and kill him.

Upon seeing this, Wu Zhengting immediately stopped, "Don't be rude! This is a knight who has traveled here and has nothing to do with Ashan Village!"

Everyone sheathed their swords after hearing this, but they were just surprised, but they didn't have time to look at Chen Yan, and immediately reported: "Brother! Aoshan Village has an ambush here. If we go head-to-head with them now, we may be in danger!"

Wu Zhengting nodded and got on the horse with Xiao Hua in his arms. "Since they have been prepared for a long time, we are not stupid enough to take advantage of this trap. Follow my order and take all the bodies of the dead brothers back to the mountain stronghold for burial. We will evacuate tonight!"

The bandits had no objections. At this time, the fire coming from the bottom of the mountain was getting closer and closer.

Wu Zhengting raised his hands to Chen Yan again and said, "Brother, see you later! Brothers, come on!"

After that, the gangsters moved the mountains of corpses to their horses with great skill, and then rushed back. Xiao Hua reluctantly looked back at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan waved to him, and after the gangsters had gone away, he didn't stay for long. He put Xiao Hei into the mount box, and then avoided the direction of the fire and raised his knees to fly wildly, like a flying giant flying across the ground.

When hundreds of villagers came after him, he had already hidden his body in the thick weeds.

Chen Yan turned over his hands and took out the pale golden map of the country.

When he unfolded the drawing and took a look, the territorial shapes of the Ming, Tang, Han and Qin kingdoms instantly appeared on the paper.

He took a closer look and found that although the world was now divided into four countries, the names of the places were also very different from what he remembered.

But judging from the long and familiar coastline, the geographical structure has not changed much from what I remembered.

The Xichuan Prefecture where he is currently located is in the Bashu area.

The Ming Dynasty owned almost all the land south of the Yellow River, including the Nanyang region.

The Western Region is the Tang Dynasty, the north is the Han Dynasty, and the Qin Kingdom has the largest land area, from Western Europe to the Bering Strait, which is their territory.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty is in Jinling, Tiansu Prefecture, which is about four to five thousand miles away... Even if you ride horses day and night, it will take more than a month to get there. We can only see whether you can travel by water after leaving here.

Chen Yan made his plans and was about to leave, but the sound of conversation behind him attracted his attention.

On the top of the mountain, there is a forest of torches.

This group of villagers did not seem to make a living from farming. They were all murderous and their faces were as hideous as ghosts.

He saw two corpses trampled to pieces by iron hoofs on the ground, and then looked at the pit left on the ground.

The man with a scar clenched his fist and shouted coldly: "You bastard! We almost wiped out all these evil people! If Eunuch Hu from Xichang hadn't sent a temporary message, asking us not to act rashly, how could we have missed this opportunity? Patriarch, what should we do now?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to an old man with a white beard.

The old man's eyes were calm and he said slowly: "Be at ease, Eunuch Hu said. Your Majesty watched the sky at night and calculated that at midnight tonight, gods and men will come to the world from all over the Ming Dynasty. And one of them will come near our Aoshan Village... The most important thing at the moment is to find this man. A group of bandits can't do anything. Send an order to search the mountain first to find the man of God."

God man?

In the grass, Chen Yan's eyelids twitched.

If nothing else happens, this group of gods who came to the world will be the ones acting as gods.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing was really capable and could even calculate these things.

I don’t know what their purpose is in finding the God Actor. According to the war background given before, it is possible that they want to use the power of the God Actor to fight other countries.

It's also possible that... he wants to strangle outsiders like them.

Chen Yan settled his mind and thought carefully.

There are many people here and it is difficult to extract information.

Since they are from Ashan Village, with hundreds of strong laborers dispatched at this moment, the village must be empty.

Before his thoughts fell, he quietly stood up and walked down the mountain.

……

The remaining clouds are like lead, and the figures are like shuttles.

Chen Yan left the place of descent and climbed two mountains to the northeast. A village surrounded by mountains appeared in front of him.

He stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. Hundreds of houses were unlit and it was pitch black.

Only a bonfire was set up in the central courtyard, and the billowing black smoke roared into the air like a crazy dragon.

He walked quickly down the mountain to the front of the village, where a half-man-high stone tablet with "Ashan Village" engraved on it was pierced at the entrance to the village.

But when I got closer, I heard the sound of "chacha" scrubbing coming from the darkly lit courtyards.

These tiny sounds gathered together, like thousands of evil ghosts laughing and eating flesh, and the atmosphere was particularly eerie and strange.

In a house on the edge of the village, a woman in a thick skirt was squatting in the courtyard, with a wooden basin in front of her, and she was tirelessly scrubbing a pile of bloody and rotten meat.

She didn't know that Chen Yan had quietly climbed up the wall and carefully observed her every move.

"The internal organs...are still human..."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself. There were many enemies who were disemboweled by him, and he could identify the organs at a glance.

The internal organs of those dead bandits on the mountain disappeared, could this be it?

The two villagers I met before said that they removed the thief's internal organs to vent their anger.

But this kind of behavior is not as simple as just venting anger.

At this time, he looked at the village woman's information... she was just an ordinary person.

By this time, the village woman had washed her internal organs. She poured out the water, then got up and walked home with the basin in hand. Chen Yan set out to follow.

On the winding and dim village road, the courtyard doors were pushed open one after another, and women carrying wooden basins walked out one after another.

They were like scarecrows who had lost their souls. They didn't speak when they encountered each other. They all headed towards the same destination with empty eyes - the courtyard where the bonfire was set up.
