It was only a moment of distraction. Yu Heng stepped forward and started fighting with Zou Chengguang. He did not want to fight with him. Zou Chengguang had been the head of Qingsui Mountain for 30 years. He had heard many legends about him. This man's strength was unfathomable and he could not defeat him. If he relied on his hands and feet, he might still win.
Zou Chengguang said while fighting: "You don't seem to panic at all when you see me. Should I say that you are calm in danger, or you have never seen the world and don't know how to react now?"
"You are not the highest leader of the country, why should I panic when I see you." What does this mean? Who do you think you are? Yu Heng grabbed Zou Chengguang's fist and twisted it hard, but Zou Chengguang hooked his hand and pulled him over, ignoring the crisp sound of his wrist.
The two fought evenly. Zou Chengguang commented: "It's great that you can achieve such an achievement at your age. Aning thinks highly of you, and A Ling also said that you are powerful. Today, I saw that he is indeed worthy of his reputation. Alas, A Ling is too bad. He was defeated by Song Li with just a lighting. Compared with his sister, he is really too bad."
"Why did you do such a thing?! Fellow Daoist Zou loves you so much, and all the Daoists in Suishan respect you. You disappoint me so much!" Yu Heng was finally irritated and scolded loudly. His movements began to stagnate, and he was gradually unable to do it.
Zou Chengguang said slowly: "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. You pursue the Tao you want, and I pursue the immortality I want. Where is the right and wrong? You can't say which side has more people is right, right?"
Yu Heng was furious: "Old man!" He threw a punch, and the moment he threw the fist, he realized that he had exposed a flaw, so he hurriedly wanted to defend himself. Zou Chengguang would not let him dodge, and hooked his five fingers towards his heart. Seeing Yu Heng's panic, Zou Chengguang smiled. The next moment, he widened his eyes and slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
The fist that should have retreated suddenly attacked him again with lightning speed, smashing a deep pit in his chest. The hand that penetrated his chest was wrapped in golden light, which he was very familiar with. It was the spiritual light of the spell.
"You——"
Yu Heng retracted his hand and retreated quickly, coughing and spitting out two mouthfuls of blood while holding his chest. His chest was dull and hot. Although Zou Chengguang's move was blocked by the heart-protecting spell on his chest, the force could not be removed, and he actually took it.
However, seeing Zou Chengguang squatting down with his empty chest covered, he coughed and laughed, pinched the bloody beating heart in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Rough structure, fake beating, just because you have a heart that moves, you can't pretend to be human.
"You cheap bastard - ahhhh!"
Yu Heng crushed the heart and threw it on the ground, then casually pinched a three-flavor spiritual fire talisman and smashed it, burning the rotten meat into ashes.
Zou Chengguang, who rushed over, cursed and fell to the ground, struggling and slumping, his skin and flesh turned into black water, and finally only a black skeleton was left. Yu Heng threw another spiritual fire talisman and wiped out the skeleton.
After taking a moon dew to treat internal injuries and twisting two rejuvenation talismans, Yu Heng barely recovered his breath. After Zou Chengguang's interference, two more people fell on the field at this time. The two people on the winning side had fighting spirit in their eyes and fought again.
Yu Heng carefully dragged the two fallen people out of the battle, and they were dead when he sniffed. He drew a spell to open the Yin-Yang Eyes and dotted it on his eyes. The surrounding environment began to change in his eyes. Everything became the oldest black-and-white TV screen, with black evil spirits flowing everywhere, but there was no soul. He concentrated his mind to investigate and found that there was indeed no soul.
According to the understanding of this world, people will stay for seven days after death, usually next to their own corpses or relatives, depending on who the person's deepest obsession was before death. After seven days, the effect of obsession will weaken, and the reincarnation rules of heaven and earth will lead the soul to reincarnate. So in the current situation where neither soul nor spirit is missing, it can only be that the soul was immediately taken away by something after the person died.
He thought of the tightly fixed urns at Zou Ning's funeral. Although the specifications of Taoist funerals in different worlds are different, since they practice Taoism, funerals are always different from those of ordinary people. Taoism in this world also has funeral sutras, and there is a complete set of procedures for funerals.
That funeral was too hasty, and almost all kinds of procedures were not followed. At that time, it was said to the public that those people died of great evil spirits and their bodies could not be left for a long time, so they were quickly collected and cremated. Now that he thought about it, if what he and Zou Ning encountered this time were all caused by the "Ghost King", then that funeral could be explained. With a talent like Zou Ning, when would she be so distracted that she would eventually lose her mind and die? A lifelike puppet wearing the skin of Zou Chengguang would be enough to do that.
He remembered that Zou Ling once said with regret that he didn't even see his sister for the last time, and sometimes he felt very uncomfortable when he woke up in the middle of the night. Even his own brother had never seen Zou Ning's body, which was strange in itself.
After closing the Yin-Yang Eyes, Yu Heng paused for a moment and went to check the two Taoists he had just rescued. He found that the Taoist who was almost burned to death by the Three Flavors Spirit Fire was actually Zou Ling. It seems that Zou Ling was defeated by the opponent and fell into a disadvantage. If he hadn't come in time, Zou Ling would most likely die without a complete body. Yu Heng trembled at the thought of this possibility. Such a child should not die in the wilderness like this, and die in the hands of his own people. Zou Ling was seriously injured, with a sword stabbed in the abdomen, and bleeding profusely.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! It's great that you're okay!"
Taoist priest Xunchuan, who was originally thought to be in trouble, suddenly appeared with blood on his face. He walked out of another dim place, holding two people in his hands. Yu Heng quickly helped him put the people on the ground.
"They didn't know what was going on, and they were fighting so hard that they couldn't separate themselves."
"Have you not encountered an illusion? I looked like this when I came out of the illusion."
The two cooperated with each other and finally knocked everyone unconscious, and then moved the people into the car. It turned out that the Taoist priests on the bus were also affected for some reason. They mixed with Yu Heng and his group under the bus and attacked each other. At this time, more than half of them were killed or injured. Qingsui Mountain sent sixteen Taoist priests. Nine people died on the return trip, and seven others, including Yu Heng, Xunchuan, and Zhuang Yi, were still alive. Among the non-staff members was Zou Ling, who followed Zou Chengguang to Yangjie City.
Just like this, the eight people on the bus were all scarred. Zou Ling was seriously injured. He was stabbed in the abdomen, and his internal organs and intestines were injured by magic. He could only use recovery charms and elixirs to help him relieve his injuries. What he needs most is surgery.
"Can the car still be driven?"
"I'll go take a look!"
In the driver's seat, as an ordinary person, the driver's body had already become cold. Xunchuan checked: "It works!"
"Then please ask Brother Xunchuan to drive, and I will help them treat their wounds."
"no problem!"
"Zhuang Yi, go and take down the medical kit from the shelf, fellow Taoist Zhuang Yi?"
Zhuang Yi suddenly woke up and rushed to take care of himself. When he stood up, he staggered. He jumped on the chair with his left foot and right foot, just in the eye of the body placed in the back seat of the car. His pupils were constricted and his throat was tight. He swallowed a large mouthful of saliva and took a deep breath. Then he stood firm on the chair and reached for the medical box on the shelf with a vain step.
Yu Heng moved very quickly, but one person still died. He was prepared and drew the soul-fixing spell on the person's forehead in advance. At this time, he opened his yin and yang eyes and saw that the dead fellow Taoist was bowing to him: "Thank you for your efforts to save me." I have seen through the fate of life and death, Zhang Daoyou, there is one more thing I need to tell you. There was a force pulling me just now. Fortunately, you kept my soul because of my soul. You must be careful."
"I understand, don't worry. Fellow Taoist, you'd better come in here, and I'll let you say goodbye to your family when you get back." Yu Heng took out a small bell that was only one finger thick, placed the bell on the forehead of the deceased and flicked it with his fingers. It made a crisp sound, and a flash of white light was absorbed into the bell.
After properly putting away the bell that weighed several taels, Yu Heng continued to treat the wounds of others. Chief Xunchuan drove the car very steadily. He took a moment to look out the window and made sure that the car was driving correctly before continuing to bandage Zhuang Yi. He had something on his mind, so he didn't look at Zhuang Yi's face. Yu Heng was wondering how this accident happened and when did they fall into the trap? Why do you let them go without any hindrance now?
Do you find the bones difficult to chew? No, if it was really the Ghost King, it would be easy to deal with a few of them Taoist priests.
Was there something more important that made him leave?
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, do you have any specific information about the Ghost King you mentioned before? For example, what was the situation like for Daoist Zou Ning and others when they met the Ghost King?"
After Yu Heng asked these words, Zhuang Yi's expression changed drastically. Yu Heng became suspicious. There was no other reason. Zhuang Yi's behavior was really strange. Are you afraid of the Ghost King? Everyone is afraid! But Zhuang Yi is not simply afraid, but——
"I don't know!" Zhuang Yi almost shouted. If he hadn't been pressing Zhuang Yi's feet to help him scrape the dead flesh, Yu Heng believed that Zhuang Yi would definitely jump up! He lowered his eyes and said casually: "Oh."
He didn't ask further, but Zhuang Yi's heart was ups and downs, and his chest was vibrating between breaths, as if he was suppressing some emotion. Yu Heng looked at Zou Ling, who was lying in the seat next to him, and then looked away.
After everything was done, Zhuang Yi politely said thank you and walked to the front seat of the car to sit.
Yu Heng sat next to Zou Ling and kept an eye on his situation. The other Taoist priests sitting next to him said worriedly: "We can't contact Qingsui Mountain, and no one is answering the communication."
"What?" Hearing this, Yu Heng also folded a communication paper crane and threw it out. The paper crane glided away smoothly and quickly disappeared from sight. Now the two cities cannot be connected through the previous communication equipment. Only these paper cranes made of special talismans infused with mana can send messages.
After the paper crane flew out, Yu Heng had been waiting for news. Suddenly his hair stood up, and he felt like he was being watched. The feeling disappeared the next moment, but Yu Heng still quietly and slowly put his hand into his arms.
Among the other surviving Taoist priests nearby, one was still folding paper cranes, one was meditating and regulating his breath, and two were looking after other Taoist priests who were seriously injured. From the front, Xunchuan said: "The Mingxin Bell in front looks damaged, and the evil spirit is much stronger. I'm going to use the spiritual flag to drive it away. You all should sit tight! Look at the injured fellow Taoist!"
Sure enough, fifteen seconds later, the vision in the car suddenly dimmed. Yu Heng saw Taoist Master Xunchuan throwing his spiritual flag out. The flag swung violently and swallowed the Yinsha in his mouth. The car was completely dark and very bumpy, like driving. Enter the rugged dark tunnel.
Those who were still conscious quickly hugged other colleagues to prevent them from being shocked and aggravating their injuries.
In the darkness, Yu Heng heard Zhuang Yi's voice. "Friend Daoist Zhang, let me help you."
"Okay, be careful, the car is shaking."
"Please reach out and help me, I can't see the road clearly."
As the car vibrated, the talisman lights inside and outside the car flickered. Yu Heng looked up and stretched out his hand to hold Zhuang Yi's hand. Suddenly, he punched Zhuang Yi on the temple, and then used the hand they held to hit Zhuang Yi's neck in the opposite direction.
Clang clang--
The dagger fell to the ground and slid under the chair as the car vibrated. Zhuang Yi was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Okay, okay, that section of the road is over." Xunchuan caught the small spirit flag that flew in, turned around and asked: "Are you all right? What's wrong? What's your expression? Fellow Taoist Zhuang? Isn't he seriously injured? Why did he fall to the ground?"
A Taoist named Song Li took out the dagger under the chair, cut it gently on the armrest, and easily cut off a piece.
"Does Junior Brother Zhuang have a grudge against you?"
Yu Heng shook his head: "No. In fact, since we fell into the illusion, there was something wrong with Brother Zhuang. After getting in the car, he kept silent about the Ghost King and his eyes were wandering. I suspect he wanted to silence him."
"Silence? What is silence? Do you know any secrets about him?"
"No, he didn't want to silence me, he wanted to silence us."
Xun Chuan became more and more confused as he listened, and he almost couldn't help but stop the car: "What are you talking about? Did Junior Brother Zhuang attack Brother Zhang?"
Yu Heng pointed at the bodies that were scattered because of the unstable road just now: "Those are the reasons."
