Gu King Fights for Hegemony(1/2)
Someone raised a Miao knife and shouted: "Han family, if you hurt the tree god, you will hurt our village. It's useless to anyone."
Xie Bangui said coldly: "Let the clan leader come out to see me. Before he appears, you'd better not move around. Don't think that you are more powerful than that tree god."
The noisy voice was suppressed by Xie Bangui's murderous intent. The tree demon worshiped by the Miao people as a god has been destroyed in Xie Bangui's hands. Is there anyone in the entire village who can control Xie Bangui?
?Once you anger the other party, it is very likely to bring disaster to the village.
The patriarch finally walked out of the crowd: "Han family, do you want to see me?"
Xie Bangui said bluntly: "I want to ask you to see what your so-called tree god is!"
"How dare you insult the tree god!"
Xie Bangui glared at him with murderous intent, and the other party suddenly stopped moving. What shocked the Miao people even more was that they didn't see Xie Bangui's footsteps move, but instead saw the other party's figure flashing and standing directly in the center of the crowd.
Xie Bangui squatted down in full view of everyone. The cold light reflected by hundreds of Miao knives in the torch criss-crossed his back, but Xie Bangui pointed at him and carried them out from the bottom of the well without realizing it.
The root of the tree said: "Come and see your tree god!"
Saying that, Xie Bangui took out the blade, inserted half an inch into the root of the tree and slashed vertically from the front to the end, then grabbed the left and right parts of the crack with both hands and tore the root into two halves. A mummy the size of a child emerged from the root of the tree.
exposed inside.
Although the head of the corpse was not visible, it looked extremely ferocious, indicating that it had endured unbearable pain before the death. The corpse's limbs like chicken claws were staring at a three-sided steel nail engraved with runes, especially the corpse.
The swollen abdomen looked like a wooden block had been stuffed into it, making it look sharp and angular.
Xie Bangui picked the corpse's chin with his Soul-Destroying Claw, and the corpse's eyes suddenly opened wide. Everyone's ears were followed by a shrill ghost cry. It seemed that an innocent soul was screaming desperately in their ears: "Kill."
Kill him, kill him..."
Xie Bangui thrust his Soul-Destroying Claw forward, and the tip of the knife pierced the corpse's throat, and the ghost's cry suddenly stopped.
It took the Miao tribe leader a long time to come to his senses and asked in a trembling voice: "What on earth is this thing?"
Xie Bangui said solemnly: "You have already guessed it, why bother asking me again?"
The patriarch thought for a moment and said: "The truth about the tree god is very important. We cannot decide it alone. Can you stay in the village for a few days?"
Xie Bangui held out three fingers and said: "Three days at most. If you dare to stop me after three days, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Okay!" The clan leader nodded and said, "It's only three days. Let Abang take you to rest!"
As soon as Fatty Gao returned to the guest room, he started to argue: "Brother, you have water in your head? We saved those Miao people with good intentions, but they didn't appreciate it, so forget it, and they still wanted us to sacrifice to the gods. We didn't kill them,
Even if it’s a huge favor, aren’t you being too kind if you still want to stay here for three days?”
"Do I seem like a bad person?" Xie Bangui said while holding his pipe in his mouth: "If I am not mistaken, the thing in the well is not a spirit at all, but the wooden corpse of the Huazimen. The Huazimen has been destroyed long ago.
, why do wooden corpses still appear in Xiangxi? Aren't you curious? Wait a minute, the worst thing is to fight them out."
Xie Bangui and Fatty Gao were murmuring here. The clan leader’s room was also filled with elders from the clan. Seeing that everyone had arrived, the clan leader cleared his throat and said, “Everyone has seen what happened today. If I
If your eyes are not cloudy, the tree god we worship should be a living corpse refined by humans."
"No way!" someone objected: "Since the appearance of the tree god, the weather has been good every year in our village. How come the tree god turned into a living corpse? Maybe it was the work of the Han family."
"Why not?" Someone agreed: "The well god and cave god in other people's villages only have the Luohua Cave Girl, and they haven't seen her once in ten or eight years. The tree god in our village used to be eaten alive every year.
A man in his prime has eaten at least three a year in recent years. If this continues, it won't be long before all the men in the village are eaten by him. What else can I bless?"
"I don't think it was the Han family that was causing trouble. The hands and feet of the corpse were fused with the roots of the tree. Even if he wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't be something he could do in a short time."
"Then the Han family can't kill the tree god? If it were really a living corpse, he would have died long ago. Why would he let us kill the Han family? I think the tree god is real."
"The tree god cannot be offended. How about we put the tree god back into the well! And then find a way to kill the two Han people to worship the god..."
A group of people talked about it for a long time without coming up with a reason. The patriarch, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Aqiang, take the gold bars given to us by the Han family and prepare some gifts to invite Ayan."
A great witch is coming, I think
He can figure out the truth. If the tree god is not a living corpse, we will seek justice from those two Han people even if we lose the lives of the whole family. If the tree god is really a living corpse, then those two Han people are our entire family.
My benefactor, go quickly!"
In less than two days, the great witch arrived at the village. After getting the news, he was even more anxious than the clan leader. He even set out overnight to rush to the village. After seeing the so-called tree god, he gritted his teeth and said: "These wooden corpses, the flower-character gate.
The beasts are not dead yet! I want to see those two Han people."
The clan leader fearfully agreed: "I'm just asking them."
"We are already here." Xie Bangui and Fatty walked over from a distance. Xie Bangui was sizing up the wizard, and the great witch Ayan was also sizing up Xie Bangui: "You have the aura of witchcraft on you, what are you?
people?"
"People from the Gui Yamen!" Xie Bangui said bluntly: "They also have some connections with the rebel witches."
Ayan's pupils narrowed and he said, "What is your purpose in coming to Xiangxi?"
Xie Bangui made a gesture and said, "Can we talk alone?"
Ayan's pupils narrowed again, and after a long while he turned to the patriarch and said, "Prepare a quiet place for me. No one is allowed to come near."
There is a quiet room specially prepared for wizards in the stockade. Even without the wizard's instructions, the Miao people will not easily approach the wizard's quiet room. It is extremely safe to talk here.
After Xie Bangui entered the quiet room, he said bluntly: "I came to Xiangxi to find the Gu poison coffin in Quelongze."
"You don't have to go there." Ayan said: "After your Central Plains martial arts annihilated the Huazimen, their remaining forces once took refuge in Longze. At the beginning, they were peaceful, and then they gradually began to sneak attacks on the Miao people.
Making wooden corpses. Finally, he angered several powerful witches, and we, the righteous witches, joined forces to annihilate them. Now there is nothing but miasma and vicious poison in Longze. The poisonous coffin you mentioned will not be chosen.
The trapped dragon is dormant in the lake."
Xie Bangui stared at the other party without saying a word, and the latter continued: "I can help you find the poison coffin, but the condition is that you must eradicate the remnants of the Huazi Sect."
"Deal!" Xie Bangui agreed immediately.
Ayan, the great wizard, nodded with satisfaction and said: "In three days, a once-in-a-century battle between Gu kings will take place in Lengyueping. All the poisonous Gu insects within a thousand miles will gather there, and the poison coffin you mentioned will also appear there.
.Whether you can capture him or not depends on your ability."
Xie Bangui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for telling me!"
Ayan solemnly said: "What I need to remind you is that once the battle for hegemony among the Gu kings begins, the entire Lengyueping will be covered by poisonous miasma. Even those of us who are good at using poisons will not dare to approach easily. You can decide for yourself whether you want to take the risk or not.
Bar!"
"I've always been adventurous."
Xie Bangui's character does not allow him to back down. Of course, Taoist Tianyu's lifelong cultivation is also his biggest reliance. According to Bald Feather Chicken's inference, there are only three people in the world who can poison Xie Bangui to death, and the Poison Saint has already died in
into the hands of a bald chicken, and he himself does not
He will attack Xie Bangui, and the remaining one will not deal with Xie Bangui as long as Xie Bangui does not provoke him. After all, there are almost no poisons that can cause fatal harm to Xie Bangui, and he will naturally
I am very confident about my trip to Lengyueping.
Lengyueping is not so much a naturally formed platform as it is a floating island. The stone platform that looks like Lengyue is completely surrounded by swamps. It is uncertain whether there is solid ground for people to stand on or where there is enough mud to swallow some.
Ze.
On the unobstructed Lengyue Ping, the only thing that can shelter is the rock about three feet high in the middle of the stone platform. It is foreseeable that the thousands of Gu insects that are about to arrive at Lengyue Ping will undergo a life-and-death battle.
After that, the final king will definitely stand on that rock and look down on the heroes. However, before that, they will not allow any Gu insect to board the rock.
That rock became the most dangerous and safest hiding place. At this time, Xie Bangui and Fatty Gao were lying on the rock looking down at Leng Yueping.
When the sky was getting dark, there was nothing strange around Leng Yueping except for the ripples caused by the cold wind blowing through the muddy water. The fat man lying on the rock couldn't help complaining: "Brother, is that wizard reliable?
Is this reliable? It’s almost time, why don’t you even see the shadow of an insect?”
"Wait a minute...be silent..." Xie Bangui could already smell the fishy smell drifting in the wind.
The sound of snake scales passing through the water also came from far to near in the direction due east of Lengyue Ping. The two people followed the sound and saw only a silver-white stream up to five feet wide winding from a distance -
—It was a vision formed by thousands of shining silver snakes gathering together and swimming rapidly.
Suddenly, a wave-like golden wave rose up in the middle of the stream. Xie Bangui looked carefully and saw ten giant golden-scaled pythons that stretched several feet in height and raised their bodies at the same time, as if surrounding a prince, raising their heads with their heads.
A strange snake with purple scales all over its body and a single horn on its head moved forward slowly.
The stream of snakes dispersed automatically when they arrived near Lengyueping, forming an orderly half circle, surrounding the strange snake and stopping at the outside of Lengyueping.
A moment later, thousands of iron-skinned centipedes that were more than ten feet long swarmed in from the south. Five centipedes with heads suddenly stuck their heads into the muddy water, and their backs bulged high, forming an arch bridge two feet wide. Unexpectedly,
After a while, a centipede that looked like a jade carving with a crystal clear body crawled up from under the arch bridge, standing at about the same height as the snake king, shaking its tentacles, competing with the purple-scaled snake king.
Immediately afterwards, the water surface directly north of Lengyueping seemed to be boiling, and bursts of bubbles suddenly appeared. Every time the bubbles burst, a stream of green gas would rise from the water. After a while, the north of Lengyueping was covered with dense fog.
Shrouded in the swamp, you can vaguely see the bones that have been buried under the swamp for who knows how many years.
Pushed by Xi, they were pulled out of the ground layer by layer and piled up into a high platform mixed with corpses and mud and water. After a long while, a three-legged toad with a snow-white body and red eyes like blood slowly squatted on the platform and stirred.
With his lower jaw, he glanced at the two poison kings with disdain. Although the toad was only the size of a palm, it gave people the most dangerous feeling.
At this time, the poisonous gas naturally emitted from the whole body of those Gu insects had formed a dense layer of poisonous miasma around Lengyueping. Even though Xie Bangui and Fatty insisted on being "invulnerable to all poisons", they did not dare to take a big breath easily.
They can only communicate through voice transmission.
Fatty Gao nodded and thanked the ghost: "Brother, do you think that red-eyed toad looks like a poison coffin?"
Xie Bangui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. Once they finish beating, grab the toad and open its belly and have a look."
"What if the toad is eaten by something?" Fatty Gao asked worriedly: "That toad is the smallest right now. If the snake over there opens its mouth, it won't even be able to fill the space between its teeth."
