Huang Xulang left while the guard was being transferred.Ruan Qing followed the two out, and there was indeed a covered carriage parked outside the door, he lifted the curtain and went in, finding a comfortable position to lean against.

The carriage gurgled and turned its wheels, and stopped after a few steps.

Ruan Qing heard the creaking sound of the door leaf when it opened, and then the carriage moved a few steps and stopped outside the door.The back door was closed again.

After waiting for too long, the carriage moved again.

This time the road was long, and I don't know how long it took before the car stopped.Someone lifted the curtain and got into the car, grabbed Ruan Qing's ankles and dragged him out.

Ruan Qing was shocked.If it fell directly from the carriage, it would not hurt to death.

Just when he was anxious, he heard someone say, "Be gentle, don't break it."

As he said that, someone lifted his shoulders and tried to push him down.Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"People are dead, what are you doing so carefully." The man who lifted his foot muttered in a low voice.

"This is what the master ordered, don't talk nonsense."

Ruan Qing was carried into a courtyard through a side door.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, the sky is still foggy and the light is dim.Ruan Qing narrowed her eyes quietly, and vaguely discerned that it was a garden.

The two put him in the gazebo and left.Not long after, another person came, this person was very strong, he carried him directly on his shoulders.

Ruan Qing's stomach was hit hard, her painful lips trembled.Fortunately, his face was facing the man's back.

Ruan Qing narrowed his eyes and peeked, and saw that the man led him along a small path to a courtyard surrounded by strange rocks. The path was so narrow that his shoulders almost touched the walls on both sides.

It was like a maze, when Ruan Qing was dizzy, the man stopped.He only heard a slight rubbing sound of turning stones behind him, followed by a rumbling sound.

The man moved again.The light suddenly dimmed.Ruan Qing found out that she had been taken into a secret room, and that person thought she was trying to open the trap just now.

Going down the steps, there are lights along the way.

Go down to the last floor, to a clearing.Ruan Qing couldn't see the situation ahead.

The man took a few steps forward, put him on the ground and leaned against the pillar behind him, Ruan Qing tilted his head slightly, and saw that the man's hair was only a little down to the shoulders, scattered in a mess, and tied on the forehead A rope to hold back the loose hair that keeps slipping away.Boots with narrow sleeves.Qiang people dress up.

He walked to a huge bucket, raised his hand and lifted the lid, and a strong rancid smell wafted in the air instantly.The man then walked towards Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing hurriedly closed her eyes, and opened them quietly when she was lifted up.Seeing that the Qiang people carried him to the big barrel, their posture was to throw him into the barrel.

Ruan Qing raised her hand silently, slapped the back of the man's neck with her palm, and fell forward.Ruan Qing kicked her feet on the opponent, jumped forward, rolled in the air and landed easily.

Finally able to move, Ruan Qing froze for a long time, while stretching, while looking at this place.

The area here is huge, and the stone pillars are erected to support the top.Ruan Qing was horrified, this damn dug a hall under her own house.

The ground is paved with stone slabs, and there are many large cups arranged in rows, which are very neat.The color of the big cup was golden, and there were torches hanging on the wall, which made the hall very dazzling for a while.

He approached and knocked on the surface of the big cup, the sound was very low and muffled, presumably the cup was very thick.Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his face gradually sank. This is probably a bronze vessel.

Oh my god, there are estimated to be no less than fifty cups in the whole temple, plus the buildings here, how much money and manpower does it have?

He approached the big cup that was opened just now, stretched his neck to look in, his eyes widened suddenly, his brown pupils constricted violently and trembled, very horrified.

Looking at the light, he saw that the big cup was densely covered with many insects, colorful, hanging on the bottom and the inner cup wall, leaving no gaps.They are stacked on top of each other, constantly wriggling, climbing and intertwining.

Ruan Qing made a muffled sound in his throat, his throat moved up and down, and he opened his mouth to retch, but he had digested all the food in his stomach, so he didn't spit out anything.

I have been to so many battlefields and seen so many bloody scenes, but I have never vomited.But this time he really couldn't bear it.

Kneeling down and covering her mouth, Ruan Qing panted violently.

After calming down for a while, he stood up, suppressing his nausea, pressed his fingers against the bronze cover with trembling fingers, and pushed it back to its original position.

Looking at the hall, he couldn't stop trembling in his heart.

These many big cups are filled with insects.Did they throw the corpse here to raise Gu?But how do ordinary people know how to raise Gu corpses?Sima Hui said that he once conspired in the north. Could it be that these are also Sima Hui's handwriting?

But now that Sima Hui is dead, what's the use of continuing to raise this thing?Pave the way for Zhuge Liang?No, Zhuge Liang is still concentrating on assisting Liu Bei's development in Jingshu and Shu, and his hands can't be stretched that long.So what is going on with these Gu corpses, and what is the purpose of raising them?

Ruan Qing's legs were a little weak, she staggered a few steps, and supported the stone pillar for support.

From the mouth of the little official, it is certain that this matter has been going on for several years.What a terrible team it would be if it was only calculated by half the success rate.

No wonder they kept looking for dead bodies.

He had read this method in the volume of "Taiping Yaoshu" Ji Shi, and it was different from the Gu corpse refined by the corpse-removing pill. This kind of Gu corpse raised by biting and biting hundreds of kinds of Gu insects had a lower success rate, and the attack power and obedience were different. The power is also not as good as the former.But the advantage is that the process is simple and rough, and it can also be raised in large quantities.

The corpses are hard to find, so they use inns and prison cells as facades, kill those who cannot contact their families in other places, and then move here.Nowadays, information transportation is inconvenient, and it is normal for people who go out to have no news.

Ruan Qing gradually sketched out the cause and effect in her heart.The Gu corpses in this place may have been raised at the behest of Sima Hui.After Sima Hui's death, they were unwilling to fail.He simply took these Gu corpses as his own and hid them as private soldiers.

If this is the case, then I am afraid that since Sima Hui's death, this northern force has been in a state of leaderless.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qing gradually clenched the palm of Shizhu's hand, and the temperature in her eyes became colder and colder.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind him, and he dodged subconsciously. A fist brushed against the side of his face and came through the air. Packed with murderous intent, it slammed into the hard wall of the pillar, denting a few times. The small nest, the crack crawled away in an instant.

'It's a lot of strength. '

Ruan Qing turned around to look, and saw that the Qiang man who carried him had woken up for some reason, and was looking at him with red eyes, showing a strong ruthlessness.

"I want to see your master." Just as Ruan Qing finished speaking, the opponent strode forward, his gestures changed, and the five fingers of his right hand spread out like eagle claws, waving his palm to grab Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing no longer hides.Going forward to meet, the raised arm is like a flexible snake, the left hand is stretched straight, and the position is slightly lower. Break it over, jam the elbow joint.

The Qiang man's right hand suddenly loosened.

Ruan Qing slashed at the opponent's elbow with his right hand, and raised his right leg sideways to block the attack from his left hand.

"Crack." There was only a hair-raising sound of bones breaking.

Ruan Qing was grabbed by that man's ankle and swung her arms.Ruan Qing turned slightly sideways in mid-air, adjusted his posture, and when he was about to hit the wall, he kicked his feet lightly on it and fell to the ground.

The arm was broken, and the Qiang held his arm with the other hand, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

Ruan Qing stood beside a big cup and said, "I want to see your master and discuss a business with him. If you want to fight again, I can let go of my arms and smash the cup when I get in. I'm afraid you will confess No."

The Qiang man raised his head, gritted his teeth, looked at Ruan Qing with a ferocious face, and said harshly, "Come with me."

So Ruan Qing followed the man, went up the long steps, left the underground hall, and entered the stone formation where he had come.

The Qiang people lead the way.It was only then that Ruan Qing could take a good look at the whole place. The stone piles here are so tall and lined up that they are almost similar, making it easy for people to get lost.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qing suddenly became vigilant, and the Qiang people also ran wildly at this moment.

I screamed badly in my heart.He hurriedly followed closely.But the road here is twists and turns, and after three turns and two turns, people are lost.

hateful.

Slapping her palm on the stone wall hard, Ruan Qing panted slightly, gritted her teeth secretly.

The Qiang people trapped him here on purpose.

Look up and look around.The pile of stones here was too high, and the aisle was too narrow, and he couldn't use his strength to step up and find his way out of it.

Put your hands together and make a tactic, a silver butterfly leaps from your fingertips.This silver butterfly has no solid edge, just a cluster of light.

Raising his hand, the silver butterfly flapped its wings and flew out of the high stone wall, like stars in the sky, guiding Ruan Qing forward.

After going around for an unknown amount of time, he finally exited the stone circle, but the exit was not the one he came from.At the exit stand the Qiang man who left him.

The Qiang people were shocked when they saw Ruan Qing, "You, how could you come out!"

The silver butterfly, whose mission was completed, turned into tiny specks of light and fell on Ruan Qing, like a fairy favored by the Milky Way, full of glory, but fleeting.

"I said I wanted to talk to your master about a business deal. If you don't have the skills, how dare you come here alone." Ruan Qing said, "How about it, am I qualified to meet your master now?"

"Come with me." The Qiang said.

This time the Qiang people did not play tricks again.After turning around many winding corridors, I came to a door.

"You wait first." Qiang said something, then went to the door and knocked, and opened the door after a few seconds.

After a while, he came out again and said, "Come in."

Ruan Qing patted her hem and stepped in.

When you enter the door, you will see a simple mural carved on the wall.Although the furnishings in the house are not far from the Han style, they are also mixed with Qiang and humble styles.

"Master, people are coming." The Qiang said to a screen that separated the room.

A person came out from behind the screen.

Wearing casual clothes, the back of the head is braided, and the rest of the hair is scattered behind the back.A forehead inlaid with emeralds is tied on the forehead.

Xiliang Qiang Han mixed.Compared with the Han style, the clothes of the Qiang people are more convenient.The home is a private domain, so it is natural to wear more simple and comfortable clothes.Cao Cao often wears old clothes and headscarves in the mansion.Sun Ce also wore a ponytail and didn't even touch his heavy hat.

Ruan Qing looked at this person's familiar face, and remembered that it was the lord of the Yang family, Yang Zhao, whom she met in the inn.

It really is he who is raising Gu corpses.

Yang Zhao probably met many people, and the nobles forgot too many things, so he didn't recognize Ruan Qing.That's right, he only thought about how to kill Ruan Qing, but how could he remember Ruan Qing's appearance.

"Why did the little brother come to my house?" Yang Zhao smiled.Although he was ordinary, he looked very gentle and polite, but what he said made the corners of his lips a little sinister for no reason, "This is not a place where living people should come."

Ruan Qing smiled, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, life and death alternate, there is no limit." After he finished speaking, he paused, and said under the playful gaze of the other party, "Master Yang recognizes Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing?"

Yang Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then raised his arm and pointed to one of the seats, "Please sit down."

After the two sat down, Yang Zhaocai asked, "How did the little brother know Mr. Shui Jing?"

Got it.Ruan Qing thought to himself, this is a point assigned by Sima Hui.Otherwise, the two would not be so excited even if they heard Sima Hui's name.

"Sima Hui and I are half of the same family." Ruan Qing straightened his sleeves, "I have also seen the Gu corpse he made people refine in the south, but..."

"But what?"

"The gap between the Gu corpses in the north and the south is too big." Ruan Qing smiled, but there was a bit of consideration in the depths, as if asking if the other party had cut corners.

Seeing that Ruan Qing knew so much about Gu corpses, Yang Zhao gradually believed that Ruan Qing did know Sima Hui, and the relationship was fairly close. Otherwise, how could he know about such a confidential matter and know that he was raising Gu corpses? This must be Sima Hui. Tell Ruan Qing.

"There is no way." Yang Zhao said, "There is a huge difference in the environment between the north and the south. Gu worms transported from the south often die on the way. There is a lot of miasma in the south, which nourishes the worms, so the worms are naturally stronger than those in the north."

"Of course I know that." Ruan Qing said, "I came to Xiliang for this purpose."

Yang Zhao's eyes gradually brightened, "What's the best plan, Mr...."

Ruan Qing rubbed his fingers with his right hand, then spread out his palm, and a slender bamboo tube appeared in the air in his palm.

Yang Zhao looked at Ruan Qing in shock, with unconcealable excitement in his expression, "Sir..."

"It contains a corpse Gu from the south."

After hearing this, Yang Zhao wanted to take it.Ruan Qing raised her hand to dodge, holding the bamboo tube in her hand, playing with it and looking at it.

Yang Zhao stared straight at the bamboo tube rolling over Ruan Qing's fingertips, and looked away at Ruan Qing with difficulty, "Sir?"

"What's the hurry?" Ruan Qing squinted at the other party, "This was originally brought to you."

As he said, he buckled the bamboo tube to the table, "It's just that there is only one in it. Only one Gu corpse can be refined."

Yang Zhao's greedy eyes fell on Ruan Qing's face, showing doubts, "What do you mean, sir?"

"Since you are from Sima Hui, you should know about Sima Hui's situation by now."

"Of course I know. Mr. Shui Jing has died of illness." Yang Zhao seemed to understand something, and said, "Mr. Shui Jing must have been appointed by Mr. Shui Jing to take over from Xiliang. Zhao naturally obeys Mr.'s orders."

"Take it." Ruan Qing bent her eyes and said with a smile, "I know you haven't believed me yet. I will use this Gu worm to refine it into a Gu corpse to prove my identity. Son, do you know?"

"Please tell me, sir."

"Okay." Ruan Qing raised her eyebrows, raised her hand to touch the messy hair on her temples, and said leisurely, "Mr. Shui Jing probably didn't tell you the prescription."

Ruan Qing didn't know if Sima Hui had set up other places in the north besides this place.I don't know if there is any connection between them.Since he came under the banner of Sima Hui, he couldn't ask too many questions, lest he look like he didn't know anything and arouse suspicion.

But what I said just now, I think there is no connection between the north and the south, otherwise the refined formula would have been circulated long ago.It can be seen from this that if there are other points in the north, if you think about it, these points do not know each other.

After hearing this, Yang Zhao beckoned and asked the Qiang people to fetch pens and inks.

Seeing the Qiang people bent down to put them down, Ruan Qing said, "Your subordinate is very strong."

Yang Zhao said with a smile, "He is a Qiang man, and he is actually my right-hand man."

"What's your name?" Ruan Qing asked.

The Qiang stood back beside Yang Zhao, bowed his head and said, "Yang Guhuai."

Ruan Qing picked up a pen and wrote down on the white silk.

While he was writing, a servant came and stood at the door, saying, "Master." Obviously he had something to say.

Seeing that Ruan Qing was still writing, Yang Zhao got up and walked outside.

Ruan Qing heard Yang Zhao say something depressed and shocked, "What?!" He guessed that something happened to Yang Zhao.

When he finished writing, Yang Zhao had already walked in.Seeing Ruan Qing getting up, he said with a smile, "Sir, when you first arrive in Xiliang, why don't you stay in Zhaofu first."

Ruan Qing nodded, so Yang Zhao ordered the young servant outside the door to take Ruan Qing to the guest courtyard.

After Ruan Qing left, Yang Zhao couldn't wait to pick up the white silk and look at it. His fingers trembled because of excitement.

Yang Guhuai on the side watched and couldn't help but said, "My lord, you finally got rid of Sima Hui, and now you are raising these Gu corpses, you are considered an emperor here, and even Yang Qiu, who is guarding stability, will give you three points. Do you really want to be instructed by others again?"

"What do you know?" Yang Zhao folded the white silk and sneered, "This kid doesn't believe us, he handed over the prescription, but only gave it to a Gu worm. You should know that the Gu worm has something to do when you start raising the Gu worm. How important. Since this kid dared to come, he must have brought enough Gu worms. When we get those Gu worms, he is a kid who just came from the south, and he has no foundation. Why don't he let me figure it out?

Sima Hui secretly asked people to raise corpses. He was afraid of being found out, so he chose remote places. The south has few people, and even in such a poor place, how many can be produced?There are more people in the north than in the south, and there are foreigners, waiting to refine the Southern Gu, let alone this Xiliang, even the Central Plains, there is nothing to be afraid of. "

Yang Guhuai said, "My lord has a plan."

Yang Zhao handed Fangzi and the bamboo tube to Yang Guhuai, "Practice hard, if you succeed, you will be the first."

"Yes." Yang Guhuai took it and nodded respectfully.

Ruan Qing naturally knew that Yang Guhuai didn't really want to use him, let alone only met once.After all, who would want to be overwhelmed if he could call himself the boss.

He is not afraid of Yang Zhaotu's corpse gu.He was only afraid that the other party would not want it, otherwise he would have to figure out how the other party would accept it.

These corpses were discovered when Zhang Anyang's family was copied in Jiangdong.He was careful at the time and secretly put it away by himself.

As for the shortcomings of Nangu not being able to pass Jiang, he also knows.But "Taiping Yaoshu" records the solution.

Feed the corpse gu with your own blood essence.The Gu corpse controlled by this Gu insect is completely at the disposal of the owner.The new eggs born by blood-eating corpses also obey the orders of their owners.

It's just that this method is too poisonous, feeding Gu with his body, and eventually being backlashed.

Gu corpses are insidious things after all, and the owner established a contract with the corpse gu with essence and blood, and it will inevitably be contaminated with yin energy.The reason why Ruan Qing has no influence these years is because the corpses he raised before were not put into the corpses.

"Taiping Essentials" wrote about ways to deal with Yin Qi, which requires a treasure.

But that treasure has been lost for many lifetimes, and it is unknown where it went, and it may have been destroyed.Fortunately, he still has Yuan Ling, but it can only play a restraining role, but it can't completely suppress the symptoms, not the root cause.

He wasn't sure if Sima Hui knew about it, because this method was too self-destructive, even if Sima Hui knew about it, he might not dare to use it.If you let someone else be the owner, you will inevitably have two hearts.If he becomes the owner himself, Sima Hui can't afford the consequences.

The servant took Ruan Qing to the guest house and left.After a while, the lord will assign his servants to serve him.

Standing in the yard, Ruan Qing took a long breath, and the dry air flowed through her sore throat from rushing to the north.He looked up at the clear blue sky, vast and vast, with birds flying and white clouds floating.

Whoever treats each other in the vastness of Tianchi takes advantage of ninety thousand winds every day.

And he is going to hell.
