Weicheng snow

Chapter 159

Because of the luxuriant vegetation, the sky in the forest gets darker faster than outside, and nightfall is always the most dangerous.

Yi Qingchen was well aware of the dangers in the twilight, and saw that everyone was panic-stricken and did not dare to fall asleep, so he discussed with Hua Shenchi and Mr. Bai about the night watch, and finally decided that Mr. Bai and Mr. Qi Yun would guard the night in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi will guard.

The reason why the Luoshen maidservant was not arranged is because she is a girl after all, and these elders have to take care of the girl's house, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable for the girls to keep watch at night and these elders to sleep soundly.As for Mr. Liu, he shrank back into the crowd after seeing the corpse, which was even more useless.

The more Yi Qingchen looked at Mr. Liu's useless appearance, the more he mourned his misfortune and angered him for not fighting.

How many sects and aristocratic families did not take the matter of destroying the Food Marrow Sect seriously?

The last ray of daylight disappeared between the trees, Yi Qingchen bent down to light the bonfire, the one-hour deadline has come, but there is still no change to dispel his decision, it seems that the Marrow Sect also intends to continue to wait and see Change.

This is very troublesome.

At night, the wind in the forest was even worse. Yi Qingchen lay down under the tree to rest, and subconsciously tightened the clothes on his body. He didn't expect it to be so cold. He originally thought that wearing less clothes would make it easier to move around, so Before leaving, he deliberately took off one piece, but he didn't expect to trap himself in it instead.

So he got closer to Hua Shenchi, and then even closer.

Because of this, Hua Shenchi also noticed that Yi Qingchen seemed to be very cold, so he took off his coat and put it on Yi Qingchen, and hugged it from behind.

The sound of steady breathing sounded from behind, Yi Qingchen could feel that Hua Shenchi was already in a light sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Looking around from his position, he could see a row of descendants of the Zongmen family resting against the tree trunk. The flames were clearly bright, but the outermost edge of the camp was still shrouded in shadow.

Mr. Bai sat quietly with his sword in his arms. Mr. Qi Yun lit a stick of incense beside the bonfire. Mr. Bai looked at the incense twice and asked with a smile, "What kind of incense is this?"

Mr. Qi Yun said, "It's the incense used by the sect to help sleep. I saw that everyone was a little tired, so I wanted to light one to help sleep, and it took exactly one hour for one incense to burn out. It would be more accurate to time it this way." .”

Mr. Bai stopped talking and continued to sit quietly with his eyes closed. Mr. Qi Yun sat by the side and made spices with powder packets. The warm fragrance lingered into his nose and traveled through the meridians. It really made Yi Qingchen feel much calmer. Suddenly, He also fell asleep.

"Little Seven, Little Seven..."

Yi Qingchen opened his eyes and found that he woke up from a bamboo couch.

Lifting off the quilt, he wanted to turn over and get out of bed, but found that his legs had also become shorter, unable to reach the ground at all, so he had to hold onto the edge of the bed and climb down cautiously.

Going out following the sound, I saw a woman who was drying dried fruits. The woman's face was covered by a cloud of black mist, and she couldn't see clearly. Yi Qingchen didn't have any doubts, and still obediently approached her.

After getting closer, a little girl in a flowered jacket poked her head out from behind the woman, and asked Yi Qingchen in a childish voice, "Brother, don't leave this time when you come back, okay?"

Yi Qingchen was a little confused, so, "Come back? Go?"

The woman patted the little girl on the head and said angrily, "How did Auntie teach you? You can't just think about yourself."

The little girl curled her lips and stopped talking, the woman reached out and rubbed Yi Qingchen's head, and said softly, "Xiaoqi, do you want to go home?"

Yi Qingchen tilted his head in doubt, "Go home? Do I... have a home?"

The woman said, "You have..."

Yi Qingchen lowered his head, thinking about it, he couldn't remember anything, he only vaguely felt that his home was gone long ago, and it was impossible to go back, so he shook his head, "My home is long gone. "

The woman was silent, squatted down, and asked Yi Qingchen, "Then do you miss Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, younger siblings?"

Yi Qingchen was a little stunned, and when he raised his head again, there was a circle of people around him, judging from their figures, they should be the people the woman said, but their faces were covered by black air, and they couldn't see anything. Yi Qingchen was not afraid, but shook his head honestly, "I even have a vague memory of living with them... It's not a thought, it's just a thought... "

"Then Xiaoqi, you..." The woman suddenly hugged Yi Qingchen into her arms, and said in a trembling voice, "You must live well..."

Yi Qingchen was very astonished, obviously he didn't understand what was going on, but when he heard the woman crying, an inexplicable emotion surged into his heart, tears welled up immediately, his hands subconsciously hugged the woman back, but he didn't know what can be said.

The woman repeated the last sentence over and over again, and Yi Qingchen wanted to open his mouth to ask, but found that the people around him were silently wiping away their tears, making his heart feel even more uncomfortable. What's going on?

He still wanted to keep asking, but the woman suddenly pushed him away...

His body was suddenly pushed, Yi Qingchen woke up from the dream, and watched a dagger brushing his temples and piercing into the tree trunk, and it was only a tiny bit away from taking his own life.

Who stabbed it, but couldn't see clearly.

The camp had been plunged into darkness. It was obvious that someone had deliberately extinguished the bonfire. The panicked inquiries of the juniors were mixed with the chaotic footsteps, and it was impossible to distinguish the footsteps of the assassin just now.

Such chaos is too easy for the Food Marrow Sect to take advantage of.

Yi Qingchen hurriedly shouted, "Calm down!" Everyone gradually quieted down, but there was still a whisper from time to time, Yi Qingchen stood up, looking for someone in the darkness, "Master Bai? Master Qi Yun?"

no respond.

What is going on?

Covering his head, Yi Qingchen groped to the campfire, took out the torch, and planned to light the firewood again, but failed after several attempts, so he became suspicious, touched the firewood with his hand, only to find that the firewood was all wet Thoroughly.He touched some water on the wood with his hands and smelled it. It wasn't blood, but a faint fragrance, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he asked everyone, "Who of you still have fire pockets? Or flints?" Everyone responded one after another, and Yi Qingchen said, "Light it up."

Within a square inch, the flames brightened. Although it was not as good as a bonfire, it could temporarily reflect a side's field of vision.

Taking advantage of the fire, Yi Qingchen picked up some dead branches and leaves from the side and lit the bonfire again. Just in case, he placed a group at the four corners of the east, west, north and south, so that even if one is destroyed, there are still four. One can illuminate.

When the surroundings were bright, Yi Qingchen began to count the heads, and after counting over and over again, he found that four people were missing.Yi Qingchen couldn't believe it, and counted again, and sure enough, four were missing.Yi Qingchen didn't say much, just walked around the camp, and found that the bell line to the west had been cut off, and the bell was also crushed into the soil.

Yi Qingchen stared at the dirt-stained bell for a long time, then turned around and asked everyone, "Did you hear any strange movements tonight?"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, they all looked blank, Yi Qingchen repeated, "Is it true that no one heard?"

This time someone finally stood up.

Standing out was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. His appearance was unremarkable, and he was inconspicuous in the crowd. He was wearing brocade clothes, and he seemed to be a member of an aristocratic family.

The young man took two steps forward and said falteringly, "I...I saw...the fire was put out by that Mr. Qi Yun."

Hua Shenchi suddenly squatted down, picked up the burnt incense stick by the campfire, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and said lightly, "The content of benzoin is very high, it will easily make people fall asleep. "

Yi Qingchen heard the words, and asked again, "What is the spice on the campfire, can you smell it?"

Hua Shenchi bent down, picked up a log from the bonfire, moved closer, sniffed it for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Corpse oil..."

All the people at the scene were stunned, and the sighs had not subsided, and someone suddenly said, "Look, are there fewer corpses..." Everyone turned their heads to look at the place where the corpses were piled up, because the corpses were originally Unlucky things are therefore only placed in remote corners as much as possible when stacked, no one pays attention to them, no one approaches them, and it is difficult to find them in the first place if they are lost.

"Corpse oil..." the maidservant of Luoshen suddenly said quietly, "The corpse oil brewed with a specific evil method can attract ghosts wandering for dozens of miles after being ignited, and make the ghosts take away the life of the living. To achieve the goal of taking the enemy's head without bloodshed..."

The strange remarks, coupled with the gloomy face of Luoshen Maid, were really scary, Yi Qingchen asked doubtfully, "Really?"

The Luoshen maid stared straight at Yi Qingchen for a moment, then changed her words, "It's not serious, this kind of evil method was only recorded in ancient times, but because it harmed Yin virtue, its usage has long been lost. The effect is mostly just to give hints to the corpse wandering in the forest, to attract the corpse to approach..."

As soon as the words fell, the grass on the side suddenly made a rustling sound, Hua Shenchi took a step diagonally, protecting Yi Qingchen behind him, the three juniors drew their swords out of their sheaths, and approached the grass, as the distance shortened, The trembling of the grass became more and more violent. Several juniors looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and took two steps forward, but the grass suddenly became quiet.

The hearts of several people were suddenly lifted, and before they had time to react, two blue corpses jumped out of the grass, throwing the two juniors to the ground, and the one who was lucky enough not to be thrown subconsciously stabbed The corpse man, but no matter how he stabbed, the corpse man strangled the people under him without stopping for a moment.

In a blink of an eye, the two who were still struggling died, but the corpse man ignored the junior with the sword, and only started to tear the corpse under him to eat, the blood and flesh splattered, and the disciple with the sword was frightened. Sitting down on the ground, Yi Qingchen hurriedly dragged his clothes back by the back of his neck.

Everything happened so fast that everyone was caught off guard. Before Yi Qingchen had time to tell the others not to run around, two or three terrified juniors fled into the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Qingchen hurriedly said to the rest of the people, "Don't run around, now getting lost is in the hands of the enemy."

"But son..." Luoshen's servant questioned, "If this continues, if there are more and more corpses around, wouldn't it be tantamount to catching a turtle in a jar?"

As soon as the words fell, three corpses emerged from the grass. Yi Qingchen hurriedly pushed down the bonfire in that direction, blocked the path of the corpses, and said to everyone, "Leave this place, but you must act as a group, and you must not leave the team." , everyone bring the fire."

Everyone raced against time to get the fire, and two or three people were responsible for fanning the wind to spread the fire and prevent the corpse from approaching. After everything was tidied up, everyone gathered at the east entrance, and Yi Qingchen pushed down the bonfire in this direction to prevent the corpse from approaching. After chasing him, he led the crowd to flee in the forest.

After running for a cup of tea, the fog gradually thickened again. Yi Qingchen felt that it was not advisable to continue running without direction. Check the number of people..."

one two three four......

After reporting all the way, there were only fourteen people left.

Yi Qingchen sighed silently, lost two more?

Looking up and looking around, there are tall trees around, winding vines hanging, moss everywhere, and the road under his feet is also soft, Yi Qingchen pondered for a moment, and said to everyone, "Let's make a fire here for now, don't wander around ..."

Then someone questioned, "What if they catch up again?"

Yi Qingchen thought about it, "I don't rule out this possibility, but it's still some time before dawn, why don't you save your energy first and wait and see what happens..."

"Still waiting?" Someone yelled against Yi Qingchen, "Because I believed you, we lost a total of eight people, and we continued to wait, are you willing to leave only after all of us are dead? "

Yi Qingchen said helplessly, "There is no other way at the moment..."

But the man couldn't listen to it at all, and just contradicted emotionally, "Then find a way! Aren't you very smart? You want to!"

Yi Qingchen was speechless, Hua Shenchi beside him patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, Yi Qingchen sighed helplessly, and softly asked Hua Shenchi, "Do you have any ideas?"

Hua Shenchi shook his head, "No. We don't know the other party's situation yet, and acting rashly will only speed up the speed of death." Looking at the person who confronted the light dust, he said lightly, "If you are so anxious, don't you Use your own brain?"

"whee......"

A burst of crisp laughter resounded for no reason, and it was especially harsh in the silent forest. The source of the sound was not clear, but just listening to this laughter, both Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi could be sure that it was Yeluo who had come.
