The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 56
After resting for two days, the wound on Li Hualuo's shoulder had scabbed over, and the internal energy consumed had returned to normal. The group of people had already started to prepare for the journey.They rode their horses, skipped the river, walked through a few wildernesses, and traveled a narrow distance before their speed slowed down.

Li Hualuo looked at the road ahead, and asked Zi Lixuan: "How much time is left to get on the official road?"

"Passing the mountain in front, there is a town, and from there is the official road leading to the south." Zi Lixuan pointed to the lush mountain range in front, surrounded by rugged mountain roads.

The area from where they left Bath City was deserted and the roads were obstructed.Its narrowness can only be passed by one person at a time, and there is no wide and dug official road feasible.

"Okay, we must cross this mountain range today, so that we can stay in that town at night." After Li Hualuo finished speaking, he rode forward alone, and the others followed closely behind.

Zi Lixuan soon walked parallel to her. After all, he was a person who had been on the battlefield, and his riding skills were naturally very good.

As night fell, they finally landed in the town.

With the faint moonlight, I saw the three words "Yangjia Town" written on a wooden sign outside the town.

Once entering the town, there was a burst of desolation around, and the whole town seemed to be hidden in the deep and endless darkness.There is only the sound of the wind accompanied by the rustling of the remaining leaves, and the night fog hits, dimly reflecting the moonlight, as if all this is a mystery.

But just before nightfall, the huge town was surprisingly quiet.There was no dog barking, no expression, and it revealed a desolate atmosphere, making the town look dilapidated and chaotic.

"Everyone, be careful." A lifeless atmosphere surrounded Li Hualuo's sensitive nerves.

"You two, go knock on the door and ask." Zi Lixuan said to the two guards.

When he knocked on the first house, it was empty, and the only answer to them was the sparse wind.

Then the two separated to knock on all the doors and asked, "Is anyone there?"

The voice gradually increased several points, but still no one responded.It wasn't until I knocked on the door of the whole street that I came back to report and shook my head.

"Is there no one in this town?" Jiang Ying got off his horse.

As soon as the voice fell, a crisp ringtone, along with the ethereal darkness, pierced the long-lost sky and spread to the surroundings.With the rendering of the bell, the surrounding atmosphere became even more eerie.

Suddenly, the first door on the street opened, and a figure stood at the door.

"Why didn't anyone open the door just now?" Jiang Ying stared at the figure suspiciously.

She was about to go forward to inquire, when suddenly, the ringing of the bell became louder, and the "creaking" sound of doors opening could be heard from the whole street and even the whole town.

Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred celebrities came towards them.

Jiang Ying paused and looked at everyone, everyone was like a walking corpse, without a trace of soul at all, leaving only a body.Walking in the darkness, it infiltrates people like a ghost that comes out to wander after midnight.

"No, they're already dead." Because of her inner strength cultivation, Li Hualuo's vision has always been much better than that of others. Even in the dark, she can see things that ordinary people cannot see from a distance.

Zi Lixuan was surprised: "How do you say that?"

Li Hualuo waited, watching the group of "dead" people rushing towards them.

closer...

Then he said: "Look carefully at their necks, there is obviously a fatal wound."

Everyone looked carefully, and sure enough, under their exposed necks, there was a oozing wound that had scabbed over.Their faces were pale and bloodless, so they were indeed dead.

They seem to have forgotten the existence of the bell, and are only entangled in why the dead can walk.Li Hualuo was also extremely surprised: Could this be the legendary zombie?No, there is no physical activity after death.

She thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the ethereal voice coming from far and near, it seemed to be nearby, but she couldn't tell which direction it was in.

"It's the ringtone that manipulated them!" Zi Lixuan had already noticed it.

Can the ringtone control the dead?
Lihualuo frowned: Could it be parasitic manipulation?
Unless... Lihualuo suddenly thought of the group of people who assassinated her in the Xilai Inn, because someone behind the scenes manipulated the mother Gu, so their lives could be controlled by others at any time.

"Could it be that they are all controlled by Gu insects?" Li Hualuo asked to himself.

At the moment when everyone else was puzzled, Xi Ye said: "In Huameng Country, there is a mysterious hidden sect. They practice a kind of witchcraft, also known as Gushu, and they can use this Gushu... Manipulate anything you want to control, and what controls them is the Gu worm in your body."

Sure enough, parasitic manipulation.

"Then they can only control the dead, not the living?" Li Hualuo asked again.

However, Xi Ye gave an important message: "It seems that someone slaughtered them and made them into puppets. If they are alive, the puppets will be more aggressive. The poisonous palace's Gu insect technique comes from this mysterious hidden Teach, they can only control Deadpool, and that's the lowest level."

Those puppets were approaching them at a very fast speed, and everyone took a few steps back.Jiang Ying and Zi Lixuan's other two guards had already joined the battle.
