Chapter 46 Moonlight At the same time, deep in the Xiling Mountains, in a dark and gloomy underground mausoleum, a strange smile suddenly sounded, "Gengshen Ye, the emperor is leaking blood, God help me!!"
The next moment, an unusually shriveled tiger suddenly jumped out from behind the grave. It looked like it was all skin and bones, without a trace of flesh and blood. When it moved, there were only bones colliding and clicking sounds. It turned out to be a tiger corpse that could move freely.
The corpse tiger stared with empty eyes and roared silently at the bright moon above its head. Then, a gust of dark wind blew by, and wisps of golden light slowly appeared in front of the tiger corpse.
There was more and more golden light, gradually condensing into a drop of golden ooze. As soon as it took shape, it sank into the tomb with a swoosh.
"Okay, okay! With this drop of Emperor's Ouyang, I only need to get the Yimubi Blood Pill, and I can get rid of the shackles of this stiff body and enter the Tao as a human being." In the mausoleum, the cold laughter became more and more weird, and gradually turned sinister. Cruel, "Damn old guy, you took advantage of my unpreparedness and attacked me, forcing me to take away only a zombie. If I hadn't had this corpse tiger with life and death, I would have been killed by you." ,
However, why is this zombie so bloodthirsty and difficult to control? It requires secret methods to absorb the blood of the zombie's descendants in order to suppress it. Forget it, it's all in the past. Now that I have this body that is very suitable for my zombie tiger body, not only can I rebuild it Entering the Tao is just around the corner, and you can achieve the great desire demon body that was difficult to cultivate in the past."
"Go, go and get the Yimubi Blood Pill with my tiger body. Counting the time, it's time to develop it." The strange voice gradually became hoarse.
Not long after, the tombstone on the tomb sank into the ground, revealing a dark hole. Huang Sheng walked out with a struggling face, and rushed to a place in Xiling Mountain with Corpse Tiger.
Squeak!
The tombstone slowly rose, and bursts of strange laughter could be heard vaguely.
Whizzing! ! Corpse Tiger's dark eyes lit up with a red light, and he and Huang Sheng ran quickly through the Xiling Mountains, arriving at a remote mountain forest dozens of miles away.
He stopped at his feet and scanned the forest with his withered head.
"Strange, where did those sad corpses go?" The strange sound in the mausoleum came from the corpse tiger's mouth, becoming much deeper and hoarse, making a roaring sound, as if there was a leak of wind.
There was a ferocious and cruel look in his eyes, and he rushed towards the depths of the mountain forest with the struggling Huang Sheng.
After a while, the Corpse Tiger stared at a large locust tree that had been chopped down, and suddenly let out a hoarse roar that resounded for miles, frightening countless small beasts away.
"Which bitch stole my blood pill!" He cursed angrily, and suddenly started digging at the root of the tree. After a while, he dug out a small section of dark roots.
The roots of the tree were slowly moving in a certain direction at this moment. Seeing this, the corpse tiger's eyes glowed red, and he was a little more happy. "You can still find the blood pill if you are not completely dead."
As he spoke, the tree roots gradually became stiff and broke apart inch by inch in the blink of an eye.
The red light in his eyes stagnated, and he suddenly slapped the big locust tree away with his palm, and roared, "You bastard, the power of the Emperor's Liquid will not last long. There are no roots, teach me how to find them!!"
The next moment, Corpse Tiger suddenly turned around, stared at the small pile of debris falling from the tree, and said in a dark voice, "Blue Blood Wood Heart?"
He stepped closer, then opened his big mouth, took a deep breath, and sucked the debris together with the soil into his mouth.
After a few breaths, the corpse tiger waved its tail, picked up the struggling Huang Sheng, and hurriedly ran in a certain direction.
Three days later, outside Hejian Mansion, Bai Mo drove a carriage and Li He to the is late autumn now, and Hejian Mansion is far away from the capital. It takes more than two months at least. If you want to catch up with the examination in early spring, you can't waste time, otherwise it will be difficult to wait until the heavy snow seals the mountains after winter. gone.
Different from when they arrived, a yellow flag was planted in front of the carriage with the four characters "Ministry of Rites Examination" written on long as the bandits and strongmen on the way see this flag, they will naturally know that the person in the car is going to Beijing to take the exam.
Not only would these strong men not block the road, but some would even lead people to escort them all the way out of the mountain where they were. After all, Juren was already a candidate official. If something went wrong, he would be provoking the court's laws, and a large army would naturally come to the area.
Thanks to this, the two of them were quite peaceful along the way, and some bandits even served them drinks and food, which made people lament the intimidation of the court.
Until half a month later, the carriage stopped in front of a broken bridge.
Bai Mo looked at the rushing river under the bridge and couldn't help but frowned. This bridge was a must-pass on this road. He didn't know when it would be repaired, but if he took a detour, he didn't know how long it would take.
"Huh? Is there someone there?" After a moment, his eyes suddenly moved and he looked towards the nearby mountains and forests.
Not long after, two figures walked out of the forest. They were wearing linen shirts and straw shoes, wearing bamboo hats, each carrying a bamboo basket, dressed like a herb gatherer.
"Brothers, excuse me." Bai Mo looked at their bamboo hats for a few times, walked forward, and said with a smile, "I and I are students who went to Beijing to take the exam. When we got here, we found that the bridge had been broken and was blocked. The way is blocked, do you two know the reason?"
One person sighed in a hoarse voice, "This bridge was destroyed by black cloud bandits. It has been broken for more than two months."
"Black Cloud Bandit? Where did this strong man come from?" Bai Mo was surprised.
Li He frowned and asked, "You are so brave, destroying bridges and roads, and doing such a heinous thing, but the imperial court has never sent troops to encircle and suppress you?"
"I heard that they were rogue bandits from the west. After they were killed and dispersed by the imperial court, the remaining two or three hundred people simply went into the mountains and became bandits." The man replied.
Another person also said angrily, "Sending troops? I've been here before, but why haven't I been here before? But I can't stand the black cloud bandits. They are so numerous and powerful. They come and go like the wind, and they don't have a fixed territory. As long as the officers and soldiers come to suppress them, they will hide in the mountains, deep in the mountains." The terrain in Laolin is complex, and the officers and soldiers will retreat within a few days. By then, it will not be us civilians who will suffer.
Now that things have happened, we have accepted our fate. Fortunately, those black cloud bandits still have some humanity. They have not killed people indiscriminately. As long as they are obedient and provide food, they will not attack poor people like us. We only hope that one day the court can Drive away these strong men completely."
Bai Mo sighed, but didn't know what to say. After a moment, he asked, "Now that the bridge is destroyed, do you two brothers know where to go around it?"
"Don't worry, two brothers. When I enter the capital, I will definitely mention this matter to the capital." Li He said seriously.
The two of them looked at each other, with a hint of hope in their eyes. One of them pointed to a few hills and said, "It's not easy to walk in these deep mountains. If the scholar walks in this direction, there will be one in about four or five days." The water flow in the shoal is quite gentle and you can pass people. After crossing the shoal and walking for seven or eight days, you will be back on the official road to the capital."
Another person said, "The black cloud bandits are wandering in this area. Scholars should be careful. Your yellow flag rushing to take the exam will not work on them."
