[Old Nine Gates] Homecoming

The guards in the black corpse coffin stood up row by row, like a giant dragon slowly waking up after sleeping for several years.The sound of their joints moving and the sound of the heavy armor rubbing together resounded through the underground coffin array.The iron-blooded loyalty forged by cold weapons condensed into a terrifying bloodthirsty force in the cold and damp cave.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most appropriate word that each of them can think of at the moment.

Zhang Qishan grabbed Yu Manli's hand, and the five surrounded the city in a circle.

Qi Tiezui shuddered and yelled that every day should not be called, and the ground was not working: "Buddha, if I knew it was like this, I wouldn't come in. If I didn't leave that Laoshizi Jiucoffin gossip, I wouldn't die."

Even though the adjutant didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that this would be a dangerous move, even if there was a Buddha around, he probably would not have escaped death.Not to mention the detachment leader, this is the first time he has seen this battle, he has seen quite a few prisoners with machine guns in their hands, and it is not uncommon for him to have seen a vicious prisoner with a pistol strapped to his body, but that At any rate, it was a situation where hundreds of people were besieging one person, but now, it looked like they were besieged criminals who trespassed in forbidden places.

This kind of anticipation of death is different from the desire to die. The pessimistic low pressure almost wears down people's will.

Yu Manli nodded towards Zhang Qishan.Zhang Qishan understood, let go of Yu Manli, and raised his hand to slide the unicorn knife, his whole blood was already boiling.

He pointed to the heavy black pit in front of him surrounded by gray mist and rumbling noises: "Fortune teller, look at how magnificent this coffin array is. This is what your ancestors worked hard and even gave their lives to explore, and it is right in front of your eyes now." , you don’t want to write it down and draw it on paper, but you still have time to complain, is it possible that Ba Ye Qi of the Nine Gates is just a waste of fame?”

Then he said: "Detachment Captain, Ri Shan, this black corpse coffin array has killed countless innocent lives for thousands of years. Today, by coincidence, we have caught up with the bad news of 'slaying people and punishing crimes'. Then Let's shut it down and see how it can harm people. When a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot sword to achieve invincibility! Today is the time to get what you want!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Tiezui was ready to move, and the morale of the adjutant and the detachment leader was high.

The head of the detachment drew out Yangwen's dagger and pointed his "sword" to the front, "Although it is not a troubled time today, my old Yuan joined the army in the early years to keep one side safe! Now if you can die on the battlefield and return with a corpse wrapped in horse leather, it will be worthwhile." this life"

Zhang Qishan nodded, and followed up with the layout: "Listen to me for a while, I will take the lead, the adjutant is on the left wing, the detachment leader is on the right wing, and Qi Tiezui is standing on the boulder over there to look at the formation. As for Manli," Zhang Qishan gently held Yu Manli hand, "Later, you will climb the rock wall to the east and enter the main coffin inside. The general of the guards is lying there, with the white blood jade on his body. This jade can control the mind of the black corpse. Take the white jade of life blood , the black corpses naturally have no leader, like a plate of scattered sand. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the chaos and seal the formation with white jade." Zhang Qishan increased his strength, "The lives of the four of us will be entrusted to you."

Yu Manli stared at Buddha, then shook Zhang Qishan's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry."

After speaking, he turned around and jumped to the east tomb wall alone.As soon as he landed, Zhang Qishan immediately cut the palm of his hand, and pressed his bloody hand to the limit one meter away from the coffin formation.

The black corpses were awakened by Qiongqixue, and they "looked" at them one after another.The black corpses have no eyes to see, no ears to hear, no nose to smell, only the blood that has stopped flowing on the body can identify each other.The black corpses are different from ordinary zongzi, and they are not affected by Qiongqi's blood. They and the Zhang family are originally two parallel families, and neither is stronger or weaker.

At this time, the black corpses in the front row were completely attracted by Zhang Qishan, and raised their knives to attack.Taking advantage of the moment when the black corpse was attacking west, Yu Manli wedged the first gold nail into the wall of the tomb, and hung her body on it dexterously. Nails brought out of the stone wall.As in the past, keep moving forward.

But the distance to the main coffin was obviously farther than she imagined. She climbed for a long time, but still couldn't see the end of the black corpse coffin.Looking down again, the pitch-black coffins were densely connected together, and rows of black corpses stood up from the coffins.

At first she could still hear the sound of gunfire, but gradually the sound became weaker. She didn't know whether it was because the bullets had run out or because the distance was too far to hear it.

Yu Manli was worried. Although she knew the time was running out, she still couldn't help but stop and turn her head to take a look.Just as she was about to continue climbing, suddenly a bloody rice dumpling fell from the top of her head upside down in front of her.

Yu Manli was taken aback, her feet slipped, and she almost lost her footing.The zongzi rushed up immediately.Yu Manli clasped the tomb wall tightly with one hand, and swung the rope away with the other. The silver nail was nailed to the clavicle of the rice dumpling, and then she threw the rice dumpling into the black corpse coffin below with a strong force.

Those black corpses who hadn't stood up felt the blood in Zongzi's body and immediately woke up. With a swing of the long knife, Zongzi had been cut in half.The zongzi disappeared as quickly as smoke.

But something miraculous happened.Relying on the weak light, Yu Manli saw that the guard's knife turned into smoke along with the rice dumplings, and fell to the ground after a while.

Yu Manli suddenly had a thought, could these blood corpses be the souls who died at the hands of these guards.They just broke into the coffin formation by mistake and didn't want to give birth to white jade, but unfortunately they were killed by the guards.This is the channel connecting the yin and yang realms, which is inherently more yin than the outside world. These grievances have attachments, so they can't disperse for a long time, and all of them are attached to the corpses and entrenched here.The blood on the body may be due to the death in the blood coffin, so it cannot be washed.Just as the human world has Darwin's law of survival, these blood corpses have also "evolved" their own "weapon" - the blood that destroys the guard's long knife.

If this is the case, Yu Manli wants to take a gamble.According to her guess, if the blood corpses were still in the coffin array, they must all be on top of the black corpse coffin.

Yu Manli adjusted the angle, inserted the unburned white candle on the silver nail, lit it and threw it upwards.Where the candlelight reflected, it was indeed full of blood corpses, densely packed together, where the head and feet could not be distinguished, only patches of sticky blood, which seemed to be flowing but never dripped.The blood corpses were obviously afraid of the candlelight, so they dodged aside one after another, mollusk-like mottled blood moved on the top of the tomb.Yu Manli stopped her nausea, took back the white candle, and then threw it upwards from a different angle.

She is very patient and finds the angle very skillfully every time, throwing white candles one after another.The blood corpses were slowly driven off by her, and they kept heading towards the black corpse coffin array behind her.Seeing that the blood corpses were about to reach the lower end, and the white candle had burned out, Yu Manli took out the gold nails first, and inserted the silver nails into the stone wall in front of her when she was in the air, and she was already a foot away.

Then she didn't look back.

She knew that no matter how vigorous the obsession and hatred of life and death, they would all be reduced to a pile of dust in this area unknown to outsiders.

Whether others remember it or not, it is enough for her to remember it.

-

The three of Zhang Qishan have entered the fierce battle stage.Two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention hundreds of guards who will never die.The neck is the lifeblood of the black corpses, every knife and every shot must be precise.

Qi Tiezui lay on top of the boulder, firmly grasping the frame of the glasses with one hand, for fear that his nearsightedness would drag down the three people below: "The black corpse is empty, let's go!"

Zhang Qishan, the adjutant and the detachment leader quickly formed a siege, three swords in one, and cut a way in the middle.But the black corpses were superior in number, the black corpses in front fell, and the ones behind immediately filled up.

Qi Tiezui said again: "The black corpse is empty on the right, and the white tiger is arrayed!"

The three quickly jumped in direction and formed a tiger wing formation.

Zhang Qishan fired the last two bullets, dropped the gun, held the knife in both hands and shouted at Qi Tiezui above, "Fortune teller, how many black corpses are there behind!"

Only then did Qi Tiezui bother to go up to look at the situation behind him, and when he glanced at it, he was startled.Gray smoke rumbled from the back, and the earthquake shook the rocks. After taking a closer look, Qi Tiezui suddenly shouted: "Buddha, come up quickly! Come up all! Everything in front has come down from above!"

Zhang Qishan couldn't help being stunned for a moment - what happened next?Could it be that something happened to Yu Manli?If they went up at this time, once all the black corpses behind were awakened and no one in front attracted the black corpses, Yu Manli's life might be lost.

Zhang Qishan really hated himself for letting her pick the raw blood white jade alone, no matter how much he trusted her, he shouldn't let her take risks alone.With remorse and hatred in his heart, he had nowhere to vent, so he raised his knife and chopped off a guard's neck viciously.

Seeing that Zhang Qishan had no intention of going up, the adjutant hurriedly said: "Lord Buddha, judging by the posture, Yu Manli may have lured that thing down. If she is really in danger and finds that the situation is wrong, she will definitely ring the ring to inform us."

The adjutant's words were very reasonable, Yu Manli took care of the overall situation.Zhang Qishan is completely rational now.He asked the detachment leader to go up the boulder first, and he was last.

However, just as the detachment leader went up, a guard in armor suddenly jumped down from nowhere.He slashed with the knife horizontally, and the bloody corpse quickly turned into nothingness where the knife qi was infected.

Undisturbed, the black corpses re-formed and surrounded Zhang Qishan and the adjutant, leaving no way out.

"Wang Qijun!" the adjutant said, "Where did he come in from?"

The boulder was huge, and the area where people could stand on it was very small. Qi Tiezui was quite roomy to stand alone, and with the detachment leader, it was good for two people to stand firmly, but it was much more difficult to fight.Wang Qijun's movements were extremely flexible. He stepped on the boulder in two or three steps, and he was about to chop off the captain and Qi Tiezui with his knife.

The detachment leader used Yangwen's dagger to block, but the dagger hit the big knife in Wang Qijun's hand and was cut off directly.The cyan blade went straight to the head of the detachment.

Just when the blade was about to be cut off, a falcon swooped down with lightning speed, accompanied by the chirping sound of the eagle piercing through the smoke. .

Then there was a clear sound of fan swinging in the darkness.Several falcons with golden beaks and golden claws flew out together and surrounded Zhang Qishan and the adjutant, forming a protective field.

Zhang Qishan smiled and said, "Master Xie Jiu, I didn't expect you to come too."

Xie Jiudao: "My falcon caught a dead pigeon, but today was not the time to catch it, but it happened to be. I was too curious, so I followed it here. I didn't expect to meet this living guard , of course, and you."

Zhang Qishan said: "Master Jiu, thank you very much. But this place is too dangerous, if you know how to get out, you'd better take them out first."

Xie Jiu smiled elegantly: "Although my kung fu is weak, my falcon is not half as bad as yours."

As he spoke, he threw the fan, and the golden silkworm in the fan was thrown onto the guard's neck. The falcon immediately found the target and pecked it down ruthlessly, no less powerful than a sword.

Xie Jiu directed the first eagle to peck Wang Qijun's neck.But Wang Qijun is a living person, and his facial features and limbs are all extremely flexible.While dealing with the falcon, he went to chop Qi Tiezui, who had the lowest force value.

However, no matter how fast Wang Qijun moved, he couldn't compare to the falcon.In addition, he only focused on attacking Qi Tiezui, and accidentally got pecked by the eagle's sharp beak.

Wang Qijun quickly turned his head, looking for the gap between Qi Tiezui's blinking and slashing with the knife. At this time, the falcon came again.Fortunately, the falcon was still one step ahead of him and flew back into the air.

Qi Tiezui fell from the boulder, and couldn't help closing his eyes, thinking that he was really dead this time, and it would be impossible to fall to death, but there were all black corpses underneath, and he hadn't been torn to pieces.Hey, I thought that I could really make great achievements and be famous through the ages, but who knew that I failed to keep my loyalty according to history, but died before I was born.Yaya, bah, the green shirt is wet with tears, and the lapel is full of tears!

Thinking this way, he heard a "boom", and he fell to the ground on his back.After waiting for a while, no guard came to cut him.Could it be that Buddha saved him?Opening his eyes halfway, he saw that the guards were avoiding him, completely ignoring him.

He hastily touched his face, put it in front of his eyes, and it turned out to be blood.Just now he thought it was Lao Jiu's falcon dropping shit.

After thinking about it this way, he understood, and quickly ran towards Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan was also running towards him.When he saw Qi Tiezui being picked off by Wang Qijun just now, his heart suddenly hung up. Who would have thought that not only is he still alive, but even the guards gave way for him.

Qi Tie ran and shouted: "Lord Buddha, Wang Qijun's blood! The guards know him, let's take some of his blood quickly!"

Zhang Qishan wanted to stop him from shouting, but it was too late.Wang Qijun also heard what Qi Tiezui said.

He suddenly realized that as long as he was still alive, it was impossible to become a real guard, and the blood on his body would help them resist the guard.

So he gave up attacking the detachment leader, and with a backhand knife, he was about to stab himself.Zhang Qishan hurriedly took a step forward, raised his hand and threw the Qilin knife, knocking off the long knife in Wang Qijun's hand. "We can't let him die!"

The detachment leader quickly took out the handcuffs from his waist, and cooperated with the falcon to tie up Wang Qijun.Seeing this, Wang Qijun jumped off the boulder, entered the center of the black corpse formation, and became one with the black corpses.

Qi Tiezui distributed the blood on his face to the adjutant: "Oh, the smell of Qiongqi's blood on Buddha's body is too strong, we have to protect ourselves."

The adjutant wiped it on a little, felt it was enough, and hurriedly parted Qi Tiezui's hand: "Baye, your foundation is weak, just hold on, I'll help Buddha." After finishing speaking, he was about to jump back.

But at this moment, all the black corpses suddenly stopped moving and stood where they were, and then saw them bend down and put down their weapons in unison, kneeling on one knee.Thousands of guards knelt on the dark coffin, and there was an inexplicable tragedy.

Everyone stopped in confusion.After a while, Qi Tiezui exclaimed: "Manli, Manli got the raw blood jade!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.Zhang Qishan and the nearest adjutant looked into each other's eyes, they both felt joy and comfort, they couldn't say a word even after thousands of words.

Only Wang Qijun stood alone among the kneeling black corpses.

Holding a long knife in his hand, he turned his head and saw dawn in front of him, corpses around him, and darkness behind him.

Better go home.

He suddenly jumped out of the black corpse coffin and went straight to the main coffin.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Qishan sensed something strange, picked up the unicorn knife and quickly ran towards the main coffin: "It's too bad, Yu Manli."

-

Yu Manli put the raw blood white jade into the compass, and there were already two pieces of white jade in it.She put her hands together and said to the guard: "If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be born in an ordinary family."

Just about to close the coffin lid, Zhang Qishan suddenly heard shouting: "Yu Manli!"

Raising his head, the long knife slashed at him.

Yu Manli hurriedly blocked it with a rope, but the knife no longer pointed at her.Instead, he retracted it into his arms and held the blade in the opposite direction.

Yu Manli didn't understand what it meant. Zhang Qishan was too far away to stop him.

Wang Qijun stabbed himself in the heart, and then he stretched out his last breath and lay down straight in the coffin.

His life finally had meaning.

-

Zhang Qishan and Yu Manli came side by side, and Qi Tiezui was bragging from a long distance: "If I hadn't discovered Wang Qijun's blood just now, would we have been so powerful? Ah! Hey, Lord Buddha, you are here, tell me too .” As he spoke, he wanted to wipe the blood off his face to show off.

Zhang Qishan stopped immediately: "Don't move."

Qi Tiezui was taken aback: "Buddha, if you don't attribute it to me, don't attribute it to me. Why are you so fierce?"

Zhang Qishan said in a deep voice: "This bit of blood must be kept, to give the deceased an explanation."

After the words fell, several people looked towards the other side of the coffin, the place connecting Yin and Yang slowly turned black and dark, and finally there was no light at all.But they all know-there is darkness behind them, and the dawn is ahead.

The author has something to say: There is no future for those who do not walk, and there is no way for those who do not die to recruit future generations.
