end of days

The Miao people have always been a family of their own, and they would not do evil in the Central Plains, and the Gu Sect was created by the Qiyue royal family. The pavilion has only risen in the rivers and lakes in recent years. It is reasonable to say that there is a lot of suspicion, but Zhuo Ran thinks that the real master of the Hongxiu Pavilion may be Xuanyuanhen, so the only one left is the Xiangxi puppet gate.

The Xiangxi Puppet Sect has been acting very low-key these years. It stands to reason that there is no reason to get involved in the struggle between the Jianghu, but everyone has desires, and no one can guarantee that the Puppet Sect has not done anything secretly!Moreover, there are rumors in the world that the old head of the puppet sect died of illness for no reason, and the new successor is an unknown young man. He may also have a heart to compete in the world. Young people are full of ideals and ambitions.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, Luo Tianyang, the old head of the Puppet Sect who was assassinated more than ten years ago, has a close personal relationship with the Xidi royal family, and the new head of the Puppet Sect... seems to have the surname Luo as well.

If there is any connection among them, then contacting the war launched by Xidi on his own initiative, Zhuo Ran has some calculations in his heart... But he hopes that his guess is wrong, if what happened in Linfeng County is really to provide Xidi's army with killing If there are undead soldiers, then the outcome of this war will be very pessimistic, and if the Gu corpses get out of control, the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty may be destroyed. What Xidi is doing is clearly against the sky!

Now Zhuo Ran's only hope is that the Puppet Sect is only in the stage of testing Gu, if they can be stopped in time, maybe things can be salvaged.

Returning to the county office full of worries, Zhuo Ran quietly went to see the county magistrate Yu, and reported to Yu Jing one by one what he had discovered in the past two days. Yu Jing was naturally shocked when he heard the words. The more you look down, the more entangled the branches and tendrils become, getting involved in the rivers and lakes, the imperial court, and the safety of the people all over the world.

County magistrate Yu suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier. After all, he had never encountered such a situation since he became the parent officer of Linfeng County. everything.

"What are you going to do?" For some reason, County Magistrate Yu felt that Zhuo Ran was more reliable than anyone else. According to Zhuo Ran, there might be moles in the county government, but he had no doubts about Zhuo Ran, although Zhuo Ran's identity was unknown.

"Now that this matter is involved in the battlefield, we can't stop in silence, but take the initiative to attack, hoping to deal with these voodoo corpses in the shortest possible time."

"Yes." County magistrate Yu suddenly remembered that his son was now one of the poisonous corpses, and couldn't help feeling a little sad. Seeing the expression on his face, Zhuo Ran could understand his thoughts.

"My lord, the young master has already passed away, and those gu corpses are just walking corpses. Finding the young master's body now and burying him in the ground is the greatest comfort to his spirit in the sky."

"You don't need to remind me of this." Yu Jing smiled miserably, "I won't soften my heart, and I don't need to leave any corpses when the time comes. Only by burning them can I avoid future troubles. Feng'er is also a sensible child, and he will understand me. painstakingly!"

"Master Yu..."

"I'm fine, but it's up to you to work hard." The less people know about it, the more chances of success it will have. Even if the county magistrate doesn't mention it, Zhuo Ran will not let others know about his future actions.

Afterwards, Zhuo Ran returned to his room, took out the pieces of the straw mat wrapped in his arms and put them on the table, and released the little green snake from the bamboo tube.The straw mat had the smell of Gu insects, Zhuo Ran planned to rely on this smell to find those missing corpses.

But the little green snake was unwilling to get close to the piece of mat, every time Zhuo Ran put it nearby, it struggled and ran away at a fast speed, until Zhuo Ran was really angry, it reluctantly nodded the straw mat with its head, Remembering the smell above, he vomited out the red letter, Zhuo Ran carefully held it in his hand when he saw it, avoiding other people, and quietly went to the room where Yu Feng lived before his death, which was also the place where his body was parked before it disappeared.

The little green snake suddenly twisted in the palm of his hand, Zhuo Ran knew that the snake gu had identified the target to track, so he patted the little green snake on the head and put it on the ground.

"Go." Zhuo Ran ordered, and saw the snake Gu swim around the room for a few times, then went out the door and went west.

The next thing was to wait for the news of the little green snake. Zhuo Ran then found the young man who was guarding the door of Yu Feng's room before the funeral, and asked, "Did you notice anything unusual that night? Is there anything suspicious?" People come in and out of the son's room?"

"I didn't see anyone on shift, but I don't know about other people who are on night shift."

"Who's taking turns guarding that night?" After hearing the boy's name, Zhuo Ran went to the servant's room in the backyard without stopping, and heard a few people chatting at the door.

"There are really all kinds of strange things these days, and even the corpses can't be seen."

"Yeah, it's scary to think about it. I don't know if it was photographed by something. You said we didn't hear anything that day."

"No, but I had a stomachache that night, and I ran back and forth to the toilet several times. I don't know if it happened at that time, but I also asked the night watchman to watch for me, and I didn't hear him say anything. What's the matter?"

"Oh, let's not talk, let's talk, it's scary to think about it, I'm getting goosebumps..."

Zhuo Ran felt a burst of disappointment when he heard their conversation. It seems that no one saw someone stealing the corpse or leaving the corpse "by itself". !

"Huh? Chief Zhuo, what are you doing here?" Suddenly a hand grabbed Zhuo Ran's shoulder, interrupting his thinking, and when he turned around, he saw Lian Yicheng looking at him with a smile.

"It's nothing, I want to see if anyone heard anything on the night when Yu Feng's body disappeared."

"Oh? What's the gain in that?"

"Not yet. What about your place? Have you found any new dead?"

"Oh—don't mention it!" Lian Yicheng scratched his head in distress, "It's as if he disappeared all of a sudden, there is no movement at all..."

"That's all, let's guard it carefully. Once the murderer can't help it, he will always take action."

"That's true." Lian Yicheng smiled and said goodbye, his eyes were obviously tired, maybe he was too tired these days, Zhuo Ran smiled wryly, why didn't he feel like this, he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Back in the room, Zhuo Ran took out another bamboo tube from the cabinet, opened it and found another small snake, but this snake is red, and the little green snake is a pair of male and female Gu, the red one has no ability to track, but But the trace of the little green snake can be found very quickly.

Then, Zhuo Ran rode his horse to the west of the city guided by the little snake.

Going out of the city gate and passing the previous pile of graves, the little snake didn't stop, but Zhuo Ran continued to move forward until it reached a forest. Then the little snake writhed excitedly, obviously found Smell the smell of the little green snake.

Zhuo Ran got off his horse, and as soon as he entered the woods, there was a chilly air. Even Zhuo Ran himself didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or there was something weird in the woods.

The entire forest was very quiet, not even the sound of birdsong could be heard, Zhuo Ran's expression became more and more solemn, it seemed that there must be something that made the living beings afraid, so that the birds and beasts scattered and the living beings disappeared.

He couldn't help but clenched the long sword at his waist, and the pattern on the scabbard was carved into his palm. Although it was painful, Zhuo Ran felt a little relieved.

Suddenly there were several sounds of piercing through the air behind him, Zhuo Ran tapped his toes and floated a few feet away, but he still couldn't avoid all the attacks.

"Well——" a sleeve arrow was nailed into Zhuo Ran's left leg with a sound of "chi—" to protect the wound. When Zhuo Ran raised his head, he saw three sleeve arrows nailed to the tree trunk in front of him. Inner strength.

Then there were several "咻咻咻——" Zhuo Ran soared into the air, narrowly avoiding the hidden weapons shot from all directions, and then knocked them all to the ground with a sweep of the long sword.

Cautiously glanced around, suddenly felt a sudden sense of crisis behind him, instinctively dodged to the right, and as soon as he turned around, he saw overwhelming bull needles covering the sky like a slanting drizzle, and he couldn't see it for a while. Clearing the direction of the needle, Zhuo Ran's luck swept away, using his inner strength to make the needle rain deviate from the direction.

After landing, Zhuo Ran's left leg throbbed and he held back the pain. Zhuo Ran held his breath and looked around, but didn't find anyone else there. Frowning, Zhuo Ran jumped up to the top of a tree and looked down at the whole place from a height. In the woods, Zhuo Ran found out that someone had set up a formation in the woods, and he obviously accidentally took the wrong step just now, and instead punished the formation, causing the dense hidden weapons in the formation to attack him.

It seems that this forest is really weird.

Zhuo Ran carefully looked at the formation in the forest, and recalled what he had learned back then. Gradually, those messy flowers and trees changed from dots to lines, and then the lines became a huge seven-star formation.

As for the eyes of the seven-star array... Zhuo Ran did some calculations, and then locked his eyes on a tree not far away. The person who set up the array was not very skilled, so as long as they leave the ground, it is absolutely safe. Zhuo Ran visually inspected it After measuring the distance, he took a leap, and almost landed on the branch of the tree. Because his left leg was injured, Zhuo Ran's center of gravity was a little unstable, and he swayed from side to side. Zhuo Ran finally stabilized his figure, and then slowly walked along the trunk. slide down.

Temporarily avoiding the danger, Zhuo Ran clicked on the acupuncture points around the wound, and then pulled out the sleeve arrow enduring the pain. Seeing that the blood flowing out was normal red, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the people who set up the formation were not so vicious After quenching the poison on the hidden weapon, tearing off a piece of clean rag from the inner garment, Zhuo Ran wrapped the wound tightly to prevent the blood from dripping down and revealing his whereabouts, and then focused on the big tree in front of him that needed to be surrounded by three people .
