Chapter 23 Ghostly Arrows
One night passed.
In the dilapidated alley, a beggar fell to the ground, his voice was gone, and his body and limbs were already stiff.
Next to him was a native dog biting a chicken leg bone on the ground, making a whimpering sound in his mouth.
Wow~
Suddenly, the body of the beggar, which was already extremely stiff on the ground, suddenly twitched.
The local dog was startled and stared at him vigilantly.
A strange cold breath filled the alley quietly.
Wang!
The local dog's hair exploded, and he barked violently, and turned around and ran away.
In the empty and dilapidated alley, the beggar's body twitched again, and in an extremely strange posture, he "climbed" up.
He felt that his body was very cold, his stomach was very hungry, and he subconsciously shouted: "Chicken...legs..."
The voice is hoarse and terrifying, unlike a stranger. But the beggar doesn't seem to care at all.
He staggered, walking out of the alley with a strange and stiff posture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A woman was packing her own radish in a dustpan and drying it in the yard.
Suddenly, she watched a stiff figure walking past the door, looking really weird.
She naturally recognized that it was a beggar who was wandering around nearby. She walked out the door curiously. Seeing his slow and stiff walking posture, she asked in surprise: "Hanwa, are you hurt?"
Hanzi beggar begged for a living in Heiyuan Town. Seeing that he was pitiful, most people would help him occasionally. Although he was stupid, he was not bad by nature.
Seeing him a little weird, the woman asked kindly.
Generally, even if he is stupid, he probably understands what others mean and can reply.
But today, this stupid beggar was like an possessive person, muttering something while walking.
The woman listened for a long time before she could clearly hear the words "A vague chicken legs".
The street is remote and there is no one at this moment. The beggar walked slowly in a strange posture, muttering, making her feel an inexplicable chill for no reason.
"You stupid guy, you think of chicken legs when you wake up early in the morning." The woman muttered subconsciously, ignored it, and turned around and went back.
Soon, the beggar walked through several streets, and seemed to have a clear goal, and came to a small yard.
There were some objects thrown at the entrance of the yard, which looked a little messy.
This is the residence of those gangsters on weekdays.
At this moment, there was a shout coming from inside.
"Play the cards, three tigers!"
"There are two bamboo cards left, who's the turn next?"
The beggar stood at the door for a while, his head turned pale for a moment, as if he was discerning something, and then walked in with his body stiffened.
"Who?"
The young men inside heard the footsteps at the door and hurriedly looked over. One of them was Sanhu.
When Sanhu saw the beggar lowering his head and walking slowly in a strange posture, his face turned pale and he said sternly: "You fool, what are you doing at your home?"
He sneered: "Can you kick your legs and feet, and you dare to ask for money for medicine?"
After saying that, the few gangsters burst into laughter.
The beggar walked forward, lowered his head, muttering vaguely: "Chicken...legs..."
"What?" Sanhu smiled angrily, stood up, walked to the beggar, and looked at him disdainfully: "What are you talking about?"
The beggar slowly raised his head, and under his greasy hair, a pair of...smelling green eyes appeared!
"drumstick..."
The strange and terrifying eyes were filled with greed for flesh and blood.
"ah!"
"ah!!"
A scream of horror suddenly rang in the yard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the inn.
After resting for a night, getting up shortly after having breakfast, and after reading "Miscellaneous Talks on the Netherworld", Cheng Yuan began to practice the method of the Huntian True Source.
suddenly--
Chiu~!
A sharp whistle arrow sounded in the distance.
"Hmm?" Cheng Yuan opened his eyes immediately, with a shocked and suspicious look in his eyes.
"The sound of this whistle arrow? It seems to be the ghost arrow of Tianyusi!"
When encountering a ghost, a ghost will be released. This is the way Tianyusi can transmit ghosts.
However, the last time I heard a ghost arrow in Heiyuan Town was six years ago. It had passed too long, and Cheng Yuan could not determine whether the current sound was a ghost arrow.
He immediately opened the door and came to the inn lobby, but found that there were many guests in the lobby, all of whom were a little shocked and suspicious, and they were talking.
"Is this a ghost arrow?" a middle-aged businessman asked nervously.
"Impossible? How come there are ghost arrows? Did ghosts appear in the town?"
"I've heard it! I'm sure it's the sound of a ghost arrow!"
Someone confirmed the authenticity of the ghost arrow, and suddenly, many guests were in a panic: "Is there really a ghost?"
At this time, Cheng Yuan saw Cheng Yongshi, Cheng Yongye and others came out: "Uncle Yongshi, Uncle Yongye."
Huo Dao suddenly came down from the upper floor, with a expressionless face, and looked at Cheng Yuan: "Let's go, come with me."
After saying that, Huo Dao rushed out like lightning.
Cheng Yuan also hurriedly followed.
The distance between the place where the arrows were fired was not too far. In just a dozen breaths, Huo Dao and Cheng Yuan arrived there.
I saw that the street was almost empty and there were no people at all.
There was only one street intersection where there were more than a dozen soldiers of Tianyusi wearing blue-bottomed and black-printed clothes, faintly forming a circle, with seven or eight ordinary warriors next to them, all of whom were facing a great enemy.
In the center of the circle, a stiff figure was ragged, with green eyes, blood, and flesh on his mouth.
Drink ~
Its whole body exuded a cold air, which was terrifying and roaring.
"Is it the beggar yesterday?" Cheng Yuan was stunned.
After one night, how come this man turned into a monster?
"How long will it take for the guard to come?" One of the Tianyusi soldiers held the sword in their hands tightly and looked at the "beggar" in the center of the circle nervously, with fine sweat beads oozing from their foreheads.
"I don't know, I've left the town before, so it will probably take a while." Another soldier replied hurriedly.
Behind them were two soldiers of the Tianyusi, one with his right hand drooping, and the other with his chest was bleeding and his face turned pale.
Just now, the "beggar" rushed over and injured the two of them.
You should know that every Tianyusi soldier has at least 800 kilograms of physical strength, and nearly half of them are internal martial artists.
The strength of the "beggar" in front of him is even better than that of the mountain ghost.
"Cheng Yuan, go up and help them solve this ghost." Huo Dao glanced at Cheng Yuan.
"Okay." Cheng Yuan could tell from the aura of the ghost in front of him that its strength should be better than the mountain ghost. I'm afraid there is really no way for the soldiers in the Tianyushi soldiers in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Tianyusi.
"What are you doing? This ghost is extremely powerful, don't cause trouble!" One of the soldiers of Tianyusi, dressed differently from others, seemed to be the leader, and said to Cheng Yuan repeatedly.
"I'll kill the mountain ghost and let me try it." Cheng Yuan said directly without saying a word.
The eyes of the Tianyusi people suddenly lit up.
If you can kill the mountain ghost, you are at least a martial arts master. With the many warriors here, you may be able to surround and kill this ghost.
Drink ~!
Suddenly, the ghost in the field roared and rushed towards a soldier in Tianyusi.
Its body seems stiff, but it is extremely fast and terrifying under the power of Yin and Ming.
Before the Tianyusi soldier could react, he had a fierce and violent wind in front of him and his heart trembled.
clang!
Cheng Yuan rushed up instantly, and the dark knife in his hand was unsheathed, slashing the ghost's sharp claws like a cold electric knife.
In just an instant, a fierce battle started for one person and one ghost.
"roar!"
The ghost roared to the sky, his body stiff and swiftly rushing and grabbing, and his qi bursts continuously.
Cheng Yuan suppressed the basic strength of his body to the level of an internal martial artist. He slashed the sword light horizontally and vertically in his hand, slashing the head and face, and slashed the ghosts with domineering force.
Bang!
The ghost's heels were stomped on a bluestone slab, and the slabs were shattered.
Chapter completed!
