Chapter 14: Bad Intentions (Part )
Except for Li Siniang, everyone in Sishui Village died.
The remains of evil creatures with big mouths on the ground proved what terrible things they had encountered.
Gu Jiu felt that this was another kind of plague.
The constable who had been trapped before died in the house. Before her death, the head of an extremely terrifying monster fish got stuck in her mouth, directly tearing her mouth apart.
Li Siniang was not crazy. On the contrary, she was much calmer than Gu Jiu had imagined.
She wanted to kowtow to Gu Jiu, but Gu Jiu held her back and almost kowtowed to her.
Li Siniang probably didn't expect that this disaster was caused by Gu Jiu.
After finishing these things, Gu Jiu did not return to the academy, but sat under a big tree and thought about life.
Xiao Hui lay beside him, quiet and well-behaved.
Gu Jiu was wondering if innocent people like this were dying every moment in this world.
Their existence is nothing more than food for ghosts or containers for ghosts.
You may be living a peaceful and happy life one moment, but the next moment your life may be filled with fear, or you may die in an unclear manner without any dignity.
What was even more unacceptable to him was that these strange fish were awakened and fed by humans, and in the end they harmed people.
The Tang Dynasty's state teacher, E Jing, had abilities that were almost omnipotent, truly second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
No one knows her depth. Her existence is like her house, mysterious as the palace of an empress. No one can discover her secrets.
Such a person naturally would not care about the lives of the people in a small village.
But Gu Jiu cares.
Thinking of the deaths of these people, he felt sad and guilty.
If he had been more decisive at the time and had insisted on finding out the truth, this kind of thing probably wouldn't have happened.
But there is no if. Even if he was born with a holy body, he could not reverse this period of time.
Gu Jiu just felt that this world was terrible, like a fruit that was constantly rotting from the inside out, and he could already smell the disgusting rotten smell.
If that strange fish hadn't lied to him before it died, he really wanted to say "Fuck" to the world, and not just say it.
As the imperial teacher of a country, what is he trying to do by secretly raising such a thing?
So, the name E Jing was written down by Gu Jiu in the little notebook.
Gu Jiu decided that from today on, he not only wanted to be a person who lived a life of idleness and waited for death, but also a person who held grudges.
Half of the lives lost in Sishui Village were attributed to him, but the other half must be attributed to E Jing.
For so long, he has been too humble to the world.
The world has become as dull as a stagnant pool of water. It's time to stir it up.
……
Zhu Qiaoqiao was walking on the street, and she looked no less like a beggar.
She only had one shoe left, and her bare feet were covered with wounds from thorns and gravel, but she could no longer feel the pain.
These days, she has stolen steamed buns, beaten stray dogs, and even robbed a child of his sesame cakes.
The reason she did this was because she was going to Miaojiang in the southwest, which was a long way off.
The old woman without ears told her that what she wanted was there, but the prerequisite was that she had to go to the tree with roots in the sky by her own ability.
We are almost at the edge of the north, and the climate is gradually getting warmer.
The people she met on the road were already half-breasted.
The national customs of the Tang Dynasty tended to be conservative, and even when women went out, they were required to maintain certain makeup etiquette.
However, it is different in the Miaojiang area. The customs of the people here are not yet civilized and their lives are relatively primitive.
If you are lucky, you can even see men walking around shirtless in some tribes, which is a very rare sight in other areas of the Tang State.
This is like a woman on Earth walking around the street topless. It would probably be an absolute hot topic.
Due to the influence of the local customs in these areas and the warming weather, Zhu Qiaoqiao saw people with thin waists and long legs, as well as thick waists and hairy legs along the way.
Both men and women like to expose themselves, and they look even more primitive than the desolate north.
It was naturally extremely difficult for Zhu Qiaoqiao to walk these roads. Her meridians were damaged and she felt very uncomfortable. She was afraid that she would not be able to beat a stronger man in a fight.
When you get here, the town has become smaller and the surrounding trees have become taller. With the vines winding around, it is easy to get lost.
Zhu Qiaoqiao took a bamboo stick and tried to scare away the enemy along the way. She wanted to go to the surrounding towns of Shubei County to rest for a while.
There should be more people there, so she could really beg and steal some things.
If an ordinary young genius encountered something like Zhu Qiaoqiao, he would probably have committed suicide long ago.
For example, Liu Xin, who was severely injured by Zhu Qiaoqiao at the Beixueming Party, has not recovered until now, and his Tao heart has been severely damaged.
Zhu Qiaoqiao has truly come this far through hard work, so her willpower is incomparable to that of practitioners of the same age.
Before I knew it, it was already dusk.
Zhu Qiaoqiao thought she had to find a place to stay, so she quickened her pace.
When she stood on a cliff in the sunset glow, she finally saw a small town in the distance.
This small town is located at the foot of the hill and looks a bit old.
But at this time, it’s good enough to find a place with people to rest, there’s no need to be so particular.
It is too dangerous to travel or rest in a deserted place at night, especially for Zhu Qiaoqiao now.
As Zhu Qiaoqiao gradually approached the town, she felt something was wrong.
She didn't notice it when she was on the cliff, but only now did she realize that the earthen wall outside the town was actually quite high, nearly two meters, which was totally inconsistent with its scale.
Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was naturally cautious, did not rush into the town, but leaned against the earth wall to listen to the noise.
The town was very quiet, without any sound, just like a tomb.
The closer she got to the town entrance, the slower Zhu Qiaoqiao moved.
It wasn't completely dark yet, and it was really quiet inside.
Even though these places are relatively poor and have no so-called nightlife, it is rare to see a town so quiet at dusk.
Moreover, Zhu Qiaoqiao soon discovered that there was no smoke from cooking fires in the entire town.
It should be dinner time, but there was not even a trace of smoke in the entire town.
Is it a deserted town?
The experienced Zhu Qiaoqiao naturally knew the principle of "don't enter a deserted town". After all, there must be a reason why a place became deserted.
And this reason is usually not very good.
At this moment, Zhu Qiaoqiao suddenly heard footsteps coming from inside, so she stopped immediately.
There was a palm-wide crack in the earthen wall not far in front of her, and Zhu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but look inside secretly.
Standing here, she could only see a relatively clean corner of the street.
Almost at the same time, the footsteps inside stopped, just near her.
But the gap was not narrow, and she could not see the other person, as if the person inside was deliberately playing cat and mouse with her.
At this moment, Zhu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt that it was a little dark above her head and she couldn't help but look up.
Then she saw a very long horse face lying on the earth wall, looking at her with ill intentions.
Chapter 15: The Gradually Collapse of Faith (Part )
This very long face was right on the wall, with a pair of very large eyes that occupied more than one-third of the entire face. In the blood-like light of dusk, it looked particularly terrifying.
This person is not lying on the wall, but just sticking his head out to look. This can only mean that this person is very tall, more than two meters?
Zhu Qiaoqiao was so scared that she sat down on the ground and then retreated frantically.
Then the tall, long-faced man saw this and his slender arms suddenly coiled over like a snake.
Zhu Qiaoqiao is also a battle-hardened person. Although her body is seriously damaged, her fighting skills are still there.
She quickly noticed the movement of the arm and lunged forward, dodging the attack.
Seeing this, the long-faced man rolled his eyes and tried to struggle to climb out of the wall.
Zhu Qiaoqiao didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran up the mountain madly with gritted teeth.
The long-faced man stopped moving halfway over the wall, as if he was hanging on the wall.
He lacks the jumping ability and upper body strength to climb over the wall.
As Zhu Qiaoqiao was fleeing in a hurry, she looked back and saw a pair of huge eyes staring at her, which made her feel terrified.
How could there be such a monster in this city?
Zhu Qiaoqiao didn't see that on the other side of the wall there was indeed a giant who was over two meters tall.
But his waist is particularly long and looks very thin, like a bamboo pole.
As night fell, more and more of these long-waisted people appeared throughout the town.
Their heads appeared and disappeared on the wall, forming a very mysterious picture.
At the market entrance in the center of the town, there were more than thirty human corpses piled up.
These corpses were covered in blood, probably because they had died not long ago. The blood had not yet completely coagulated, and they looked like pieces of squeezed and broken flesh.
Next to these corpses was a large pot of boiling oil.
As the oil in the wok boiled more and more fiercely, these tall-waisted men gradually gathered here, their eyes shining frighteningly bright in the dim environment.
At this time, a squeaking sound was heard, and the first human was put into the pot.
……
Zhu Qiaoqiao was hiding in a mountain crevice that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and she was very scared.
In the dark environment, the branches of trees swaying in the wind and the half-human-high weeds swaying on the ground all looked like ghosts.
Zhu Qiaoqiao felt that ghosts might come out of the gaps behind her, and a chill ran down her spine, but she tried her best to remain calm.
It has been said since ancient times that ghosts are very likely to appear in these desolate places at night.
If a person does not find an inhabited town before dark, he is likely to be in danger.
Zhu Qiaoqiao had experienced many such things when she was training outside before, but she was confident at that time because she was very strong, at least at the peak level of the third level of concentration.
When a practitioner at this level goes out, unless he is extremely unlucky and encounters an old monster that has been lurking for many years, he is generally not in great danger.
But it’s different now. Her qi sea and meridians are destroyed, and she is not as strong as an ordinary woman. Being in such an environment is naturally dangerous.
What's even more frustrating is that she has no other options now.
Although she stole and robbed along the way, it was relatively smooth and she did not encounter any ghosts.
I didn't expect to meet you again today.
Zhu Qiaoqiao knew some information about the man with a horse face and particularly big eyes. If he was really two meters tall, he might be a giant from the ancient Rong country.
These long-waisted people came from the long-destroyed ancient Rong Kingdom. They had the blood of giants, were active at night and hid during the day, and they specialized in feeding on humans who were alone in the wilderness.
Zhu Qiaoqiao had never imagined that the long-waisted giant could enter the town so unscrupulously, or directly occupy the town that belonged to humans?
Are those rules passed down from ancient times no longer effective?
Zhu Qiaoqiao nestled in this crevice and felt very cold.
Yes, the weather is hot, but she feels cold because she realizes that if these rules are invalidated, how should humans cope?
However, she comforted herself by thinking that this was considered the marginal area of the Tang Dynasty and the empire's military strength was relatively weak here.
These things only dare to break the rules in these places.
Thinking that the place she was going to might be even more chaotic than here, Zhu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but frown.
For so many years, she has been living in the southern part of the Tang Empire, where the power of the empress and the sects can be seen everywhere, so relatively speaking, there are fewer news about ghosts and strange things.
