Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 96 Corpse?
Hu Qian patted the dirt on his body, looked at the horse corpse and the dead snake, frowned and said: "It seems that someone doesn't want me to go!"

Yang Da said happily: "Great, the princess is saved!"

Bai Yufeng nodded and said: "Since the other party doesn't want brother Jinggong to go, it means they are afraid."

"But there is no carriage, and this place is still dozens of miles away from the palace..."

Just as he was talking, the soldier inspecting the horse corpse suddenly shouted: "Lord Zhongjun, come and see!"

Hu Qian and the others hurried over, only to see eight words on the horse's belly:
If you don't look back, your life will be lost!

At this moment, dark clouds suddenly covered the top of the head, and the sky darkened in an instant, and the howling wind was mixed with terrifying whimpers.

The three of Bai Yufeng were all frightened, their throats felt dry for a moment, and they were speechless in a daze.

Hu Qian snorted, "Pretending to be a ghost!"

Seeing that the stormy black cloud was just churning in the distance, he ignored it, turned around to look at Yang Dakai and said, "Did the princess offend someone?"

Yang Dakai shook his head, "This villain doesn't know."

Seeing that it was getting late, Hu Qian said: "Hurry up, or you will have to spend the night in this wilderness."

Yang Dakai said: "There is an ancient temple ten miles ahead, it has been abandoned for a long time, let's spend the night there first."

Hu Qian was taken aback, "What's the name of the temple?"

"It seems to be called... Feilong Temple."

The four of them set off quickly, and at about the next day, they finally arrived at the Feilong Temple that Yang Dakai had mentioned.

There was no moon in the sky, and it was pitch black everywhere. In the dead silence, only the horned owl hooted occasionally.

Yang Dakai wrapped a dry wooden stick with a cloth torn from the carriage, and ignited it with a torch, using it as a torch for lighting.

There are patches of weeds under my feet, and I can't tell where the road is.

A few people could only estimate the direction of the main entrance first, and then use their swords to push the weeds forward.

Bai Yufeng has been dignified since he came here, suddenly he stepped on something, and there was a harsh "creaking" sound, which made his calf tremble in fright.

Yang Dakai illuminated it with a torch, and saw that it was a rotten board.

Bai Yufeng couldn't help asking: "Yang Zhongjun, have you been to this place before?"

"Passed by twice, but never came in."

Hu Qian looked up and saw that although the place was desolate, there were no ghosts.

After walking forward for more than a hundred meters, I finally came to the main entrance of the temple. The writing on the plaque had long since disappeared, leaving only a broken wooden board.

Entering the courtyard, the four of them found a fairly spacious room to settle down.

Yang Dakai and the soldier picked up wood and branches at the door, built a fire in the house, and took out the dry food and wine they bought earlier for Hu Qian and Bai Yufeng to eat.

Seeing that the steamed bun was hard, Bai Yufeng didn't want to eat it at first, but couldn't help being hungry, so he picked it up and ate it.

Hu Qian said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Bai is used to rich food, so he can't eat such steamed buns."

Yang Da said: "Young Master Bai has been wronged, and when he arrives at the palace, he will treat him with fine wine and delicacies."

Hu Qian said: "Yang Zhongjun, how did you know Brother Bai?"

"What? Don't Mr. Hu know the identity of Mr. Bai?"

"do not know."

Yang Dakai looked at Bai Yufeng suspiciously, who shook his head and said with a smile: "I always win people with strength, not with status."

Hu Qian said: "Oh? Then I have to ask for advice. Apart from being the nephew of the Xing Zhifu, what other identity does Brother Bai have?"

Bai Yufeng said: "If someone asked me, I would definitely not say it, but you...

Since the strength is no longer as good as yours, it doesn't hurt to tell you.

I am the second son of Shang Baisong, the Ministry of Punishment of the current dynasty. "

Yang Dakai said: "Because of the Zhennan King incident last time, Bai Shangshu and Bai Gongzi came to visit, so we know each other."

Hu Qian took a sip of wine and said, "Young Master of the Ministry of Punishment, what are you doing here in Shannan Mansion?"

"My ancestral home is in Liang Jing, but...

I was originally in the capital, but I heard that the Copper Coin and Silver Demon would go to Jinling before returning to Liangjing. I planned to go and have a look, but who knew you had already broken it.

I have to say, when I first met you, I did underestimate you a little.

But it is not that simple to go to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, you should have seen this. "

Hu Qian nodded.

The other party seemed to know his strength, and also knew that he was going. From this point of view, it was beyond the reach of ordinary ghosts.

The most important thing is the life of the princess.

Originally, the other party might just want to torture the princess, but when he learned that Hu Qian was going, he might kill the princess.

So there can be no further delays on the way.

"By the way, I don't know Brother Bai's name yet."

"Wenxuan."

Hu Qian said: "Wen Xuan, I am walking fast, I will go first by myself tomorrow morning, and when I arrive at the market, I will find a way to go to the palace by myself.

You and Yang Zhongjun come as soon as possible. "

Bai Yufeng nodded.

After talking for a while, the four of them fell asleep against the wall.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Hu Qian suddenly heard Bai Yufeng shouting in a low voice: "Respect, Brother Jinggong..."

He opened his eyes vigorously, and saw that the fire had been extinguished, the surroundings were cold and cold, and there was already a moon outside the window, it seemed that the sky should be dawning soon.

He whispered: "What's wrong?"

Bai Yufeng's voice was cold, and he wanted to speak loudly, but something seemed to pinch his throat, and he whispered: "Listen..."

Hu Qian froze for a moment, and immediately listened carefully.

I didn't hear anything at first, but after a while, there was an extremely small rustling sound reaching my ears.

The sound was intermittent, as if someone was rubbing their clothes with their hands.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

He listened for a while, and it was true.

The sound has an obvious rhythm, every three or five breaths, there is one time.

Moreover, the sound was obviously getting closer, as if it was right outside the door.

Bai Yufeng didn't know when he woke up, and he was looking at the door tensely.

Hu Qian glanced around, but didn't see any traces of ghosts, but there are too many strange things in the world, so he couldn't help but pay attention to them.

Just as he was about to pull out the Longyuan Sword, the voice suddenly stopped at the door.

Then, as if it had never appeared before, it disappeared completely.

Hu Qian stood up suddenly, and when he was about to draw his sword to sweep across, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The soldier came in from the outside wrapped in a blanket. Seeing Hu Qian standing there, he smiled tremblingly and said, "Sorry, I woke you up. It's convenient to go down. It's really cold outside."

A false alarm.

Hu Qian shook his head at Bai Yufeng, and was about to speak when a black shadow rushed in from outside the door and stabbed the soldier's neck.

But it turned out to be a black snake.

The soldier opened his mouth and struggled to tear the snake off and fell to the ground, cutting it into two pieces.

However, when one was cut off, countless others rushed in densely outside the door.

Yang Dakai seemed to have woken up early, and shouted: "No! It's those black snakes! Go!"

Hu Qian raised his hand and waved his sword light, instantly cutting those black snakes into two pieces, which shocked Bai Yufeng and the others for a long time.

But in a moment, many black snakes rushed out of the dry grass and rocks.

Yang Dakai said: "They seem to want to hold us back, let's go! Don't love to fight!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to take Bai Yufeng and the soldier to escape.

However, the soldier suddenly trembled and fell to the ground in a daze.

Yang Da opened his clothes and saw that the skin from the neck down had turned black, obviously poisoned.

Bai Yufeng shook his head and said, "The poison is so powerful! Look at his forehead, he has already had the spots that the dead have, and he can't survive."

Hu Qian swept away the black snake again, and the three of them rushed out of the temple taking advantage of the situation, and ran for several miles in one breath, before they got rid of the endless black snake.

After walking for a while, I saw that the east was turning white, and a small town appeared in front of me.

Yang Dakai said: "Great, let's go to the town to buy three horses, and then go rescue..."

Just as he was talking, his body froze suddenly, he fell to the ground with a plop, and said with a smile on his face, "Save the Princess..."

After speaking, his face froze and did not move.

Both Hu Qian and Hu Qian were startled. When they tore off his clothes to look at them, there was a chill from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

I saw a wound on his leg, the surrounding area was already black and purple, apparently bitten by a snake.

only……

Except that there were no corpse spots on his face, his whole body was already covered with corpse spots of different sizes.

Bai Yufeng took three steps back in fright, and looked at Hu Qian inexplicably in horror.

"He... died... yesterday?"
