Chapter 247 Ghost County
Updated: 2012-09-03
The captain and the tiger were in the lobby, and they had already fought for more than twenty moves in a while. Although Chu Huan was very focused and looked carefully, Feng Wuma's expressionless face was slightly surprised.
He could not have imagined that this man named Tiger could actually compete with the Divine Clothes Guard's Captain. It seems that the tiger-patterned young master had good men.
The young master of Tiger Wizard had a smile in his eyes. Seeing that the tiger kicked out several legs in succession, the tiger was full of wind, and he couldn't help but shout "Okay".
The lieutenant flashed by, and the tiger kicked the empty knife, but fell on a chair. With a "click" sound, the chair was actually broken by the tiger, which also shows that the force on this person's legs was indeed amazing.
Yingren was also watching upstairs. Seeing the tiger taking ruthless action, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked Chu Huan: "Where are these people coming from? This guy has some skills."
Chu Huan whispered: "This person has such a master, and he must be of great background. If he wants to find out his origin, it should not be difficult."
The two men left more than ten moves downstairs. The title of Tiger is not wrong. They advocate attack. Judging from the momentum, it seems that he has the upper hand. However, the real master can see that although the captain of the Divine Instrument Guard dodged several times, he was obviously keeping his strength and looking for opportunities. The people of the Divine Instrument Guard have been strictly selected and arduous training. Their observation skills are extremely keen. Once they find the opponent's weakness, they will quickly defeat the enemy.
After the lieutenant fought with the tiger, he already knew that the tiger was not a quick enemy, but instead deliberately showed weakness and observed the opponent's flaws.
Soon he discovered that this person's fist and foot skills were very good, and he was so powerful that he was sharp, but he was heavy on attack but not on defense, especially in his lower abdomen, which showed flaws from time to time.
The captain determined the opponent's weakness and was confident. He took a few steps back. The tiger fisted and flew and followed. He suddenly saw the captain's body sinking, and he flew up and hit the tiger's lower abdomen.
The tiger reacted slowly and pressed his hands at the same time. At this moment, he saw that the captain's body was incredibly rolling over. His body was spinning, and his other leg had already flew into the air, with a very fast speed. The tiger's fists had already blocked the kick that kicked towards its lower abdomen. At this time, the other foot kicked in an incredible way. The tiger really couldn't imagine that with a "bang", the shoulder was already kicked by the captain. The force of the kick was really amazing. The tiger's entire body had flew out and then fell on a chair with a "click" sound, crushing the chair to pieces.
The tiger felt a severe pain in his shoulders, struggled to get up, and was about to rush forward, but he saw that the captain had bowed calmly: "Take it!"
He understood this meaning, which means that the tiger has been defeated and he is not his opponent, so there is no need to compete.
The tiger said angrily: "Let's fight again?"
Feng Wuma said lightly: "It turns out that this young master's subordinates are just nonsense, which is really disappointing!"
The young master of tiger pattern was very happy and shouted coldly: "Tiger, retreat." He stood up, bowed to Feng Wuma, and said: "Good kung fu, admire it. This inn belongs to you."
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" and turned around and left.
Someone came forward behind him and picked up the two ingots of gold. However, Feng Wuma said lightly: "The two chairs were destroyed, and they were all destroyed by yours. Isn't this young master leaving any explanation?"
The young master of Tiger Pattern went over and snatched the two ingots of gold, threw them on the table, and said, "One ingot of gold and one chair, should this be enough compensation?"
Feng Wuma had no expression on his face.
The young master Tiger Wisdom then took his men out of the inn. The lieutenant went forward and closed the gate of the inn.
Seeing the good show over, Yingren stretched and said, "Their people are really useless. It's too late. Let's rest. I'm going to have to hurry tomorrow."
Chu Huan's face showed suspicion, and he pondered for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "Your Highness, something seems...is not right."
"What's wrong?" Yingrenqi said: "Chu Huan, what did you find? Something was wrong?"
"The young master with tiger-patterned clothes." Chu Huan's eyes flashed. "After seeing him, he always felt very strange, but he never thought it out. But he just saw a flaw."
"What flaw?"
"His face." Chu Huan lowered his voice: "The tiger-patterned young master's face seemed to be very stiff. No matter whether he spoke, laughed or even got angry, the muscles on his face seemed to move... just like a dead person's face...!"
Yingren was stunned and felt chilled: "What did you... say? Dead?"
At this time, Feng Wuma had approached and obviously heard Chu Huan's suspicion, saying, "Yes, the muscles on that person's face have died... Xiao Di had observed it from the side. When he spoke, only his lips were moving, and the rest were stiff. Xiao Di thought he was disguised at first, but after observation, Xiao Di was sure that he was not disguised, and there must be no human skin mask on his face."
Yingren said a little surprised: "According to your opinion, those people just now... were they all made of ghosts?" When he thought of a group of ghosts coming in the middle of the night, he felt a little thrilling in his heart.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Your Highness's daughter is blessed by God, and evil demons and heretics dare not invade."
Feng Wuma also nodded and said solemnly: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Except for the guy wearing tiger-patterned brocade clothes, everyone else is still normal. I feel that maybe the man has a strange disease, so the muscles on his face look normal, but in fact they are all necrotic."
Yingren thought for a while and said, "It's better if it's not a ghost. They are tactful and can't beat them and leave. If they are messing around, they must let them know how powerful we are."
...
...
The young master of Tiger Wisdom left the inn and turned a street. Then he stopped, with no smile in his eyes. He looked back at the tiger who had fought with the captain and said in a deep voice: "How much does he have done?"
The tiger lowered his voice and said, "At least 80%.
"If you give your all, are you sure to defeat him?"
The tiger thought for a while and said, "If he had no other killer moves, he might be 70% sure to defeat him after two hundred moves."
The young master of tiger pattern showed a solemn look on his face. He pondered slightly and shook his head and said, "We can't do it for the time being. There are still several characters like the ones just now."
"They are very cautious and are cautious in their diet, so it is difficult for us to find opportunities." The tiger whispered: "We are not enough staff, at least we should not do it at this time."
The young master of Tiger Wire nodded and said, "Don't hurry, it's still early." A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the muscles on his face were really stiff, just like wood, and didn't move.
...
Early the next morning, Yingren and his guards set off.
The matter between the young master of Tiger Pattern last night was that Feng Wuma and other guards were even more careful in the second half of the night, and fortunately there was nothing wrong all night.
He traveled fast along the way, occasionally dismounted and let the horse rest for a while, and people also drank water and ate some dry food. It was getting closer to Maoxian. Chu Huan knew that at this time, he only knew that Yingren's destination was Maoxian, but he still knew nothing about why he wanted to come to Maoxian.
Since Yingren didn't say it, Chu Huan naturally didn't ask.
By afternoon, the sunset had not yet set, and finally entered the boundary of Maoxian. However, after entering the boundary of Maoxian, everyone felt the same feeling, that was bleakness and loneliness.
After traveling for ten miles in Maoxian, I couldn't see anyone. The road was not built for many years and was rugged and difficult to walk. Although grass on both sides of the road was growing, people couldn't feel the spring.
Before Yingren came, he obviously did not have such mental preparation. Seeing the cold and coldness around, Chu Huan frowned. He saw Yingren's doubts and said softly: "Your Highness, the emperor fought south and north, and Maoxian belonged to the territory of Hanyang Kingdom. A major war broke out here. 80,000 cavalrymen of the Qin Dynasty were here, and Hanyang Kingdom also had more than 40,000 troops on this line. Before the war, the people of Maoxian fled one after another. At that time, it was said that there were more than 100,000 people in Maoxian County. The war was burning, and most of them fled, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who could not leave..."
Yingren looked at Chu Huan and said nothing.
"After that war, the number of casualties on both sides exceeded 20,000, which was extremely tragic. It is said that at that time, many corpses were everywhere in Maoxian area, and many people who could not escape were also implicated in the war, with countless casualties. There were too many corpses, and they could not be properly placed after the war, and the march could not be delayed, so many corpses were just buried casually." Chu Huan looked solemn: "It is said that many people moved back after the war, but corpses could be seen everywhere on the roadside. And after many people came back, many people died soon. At that time, rumors spread everywhere, saying that Maoxian's resentment appeared, so many people left again. Now, the population of Maoxian is only tens of thousands, and most of them are still concentrated in Maoxian's town. The surrounding villages are very rare...!"
Although they were all brave warriors present, Chu Huan said this and the surrounding wilderness was depressed, so many people still felt a little furry.
Yingren couldn't help but ask, "Seriously... there are really resentful spirits? Those... the people who moved back were killed by resentful spirits?"
Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "That's just a folk rumor. In the eyes of the humble general, perhaps because the corpse was not handled well at that time, there was a virus... Well, there was a plague. The people were infected with the plague but did not know it, and many people died. They just thought it was a vengeful spirit, so they spread the vengeful spirits everywhere, so people thought that there were really vengeful spirits in Maoxian..."
Feng Wuma suddenly spoke next to him: "It seems that some people call Maoxian 'ghost county'?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "This is true. Since many people died, people have developed a terrifying heart towards this place, and rumors have become more and more decent. Many people are still vividly telling their ghost process. Therefore, many people call this place a ghost county in private. There are very few people who settle here, and many of the fields are deserted..."
Feng Wuma sneered: "There are really resentful spirits. Are we living people still afraid of dead people?"
Wang Han had already returned from his former team and reported: "There is an intersection ahead. Turn left and walk about twenty miles to the county town of Maoxian."
Yingren shook his head and said, "We won't go to the county town."
Chu Huan and others were stunned and all looked at Yingren.
Yingren stared at Wang Han and asked, "Do you know there is a Zhongyi Village in Mao County?"
Wang Han was stunned for a moment, and then reported: "The villain has heard of it before, but... he doesn't know where Zhongyi Village is. But he should be able to find out."
Yingren nodded and said, "This time we are not going to Maoxian County, but to Zhongyi Village."
