Rebellious Contract Beast

"Liu Daxian...Liu Daxian..."

"Da Xian!"

"Liu Daxian, where have you been during your bastard day?"

Six miles away from the village, all the roads that can be walked are broken, and there is still no clue. The villagers are now physically and mentally exhausted. Although they are still calling for Liu Daxian, they are all weak.

Everyone knows that continuing to search is in vain.

This Liu Daxian is probably in serious danger and has died somewhere long ago.

Where can I respond to them?
He Jian Chuyun and Shen Yi quietly followed behind. Although she didn't make a sound, she had already given up in her heart.

Liu Daxian is dead. You have to accept this result even if you don't accept it.

Perhaps knowing that this was just a waste of energy, Xiong Yingchun, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and turned around, trying to get everyone to stop and take a rest.

"Township……"

But as soon as a word came out of his mouth, the shouts of Yao Tufu and others were heard in the distance.

"Come on, come on! Come on, come on! We see dead people here!"

"Uncle Qin! Meng Laosi! Did you hear that?"

"Everyone, come quickly!"

"Old Xiong! Girl Jiang!"

These sounds reached the ears one by one, and the spirits of the originally listless villagers immediately vibrated.

"What did they say?"

"It seems...that a dead person was found?"

"Quick! Get over here!" Everyone turned around and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

It didn't take long for Shen Yi and six people, including the old witch, to find Butcher Yao and the others. Also arriving was the team led by Master Qin.

As soon as the three parties met, they immediately got down to business.

"Butcher, who is this dead person? Is it Liu Daxian?"

"No, no." Butcher Yao shook his head and waved to everyone.

"follow me."

Then he led them to climb into the forest above. After seeing the scene inside, everyone felt a little physically uncomfortable.

These three people are not from their own village at all, but outsiders.

Mr. Qin knelt down and inspected one of the corpses with a frown.

"Where are these three people from? I've never seen them before."

"Master Qin, look at what they are wearing, it's really strange."

"It's from outside again."

"Girl Jiang, come here and take a look. Do you recognize these three people?"

"What do you know? How can you recognize it if your head is gone?"

Hejian Chuyun also stepped forward to take a closer look after hearing the words, and at this sight, her expression immediately became solemn, and she lowered her head and looked at Shen Yi.

There was not only dried blood on the ground, but also pieces of armor scattered on the ground. If these three people were just ordinary people, they were still wearing armor. Judging from the style of the armor, they were undoubtedly soldiers of the Liang Army. This made Tsurumi Chuchu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

And Shen Yi became confused after a brief daze.

All in all, why did Daliang's soldiers appear here?
He also looked at the map many times. According to Shen Yi's own conjecture, Daoguo Township should be in the area marked "Mountains, Peaks and Sea" on the map.

Just by listening to the name, you can roughly know what kind of geographical environment this mountain, peak and sea is like.

Although Daoguo Township is not a place where birds poop, the surrounding mountains and steep terrain form a natural barrier. If you want to enter here, there is almost no way to go. Even if you come in, you want to walk all the mountains and peaks. The sea is not a thing that happens overnight. If not, this Daoguo Township would not be isolated from the world.

Could it be Daliang's strategic plan?
But Shancongfenghai is located at the junction of Jizhou to the south and Changzhou. Specifically, Changzhou is to the north to the west, and Jizhou is to the south to the east. The main area where the Liang Kingdom and the Yu State fought is mainly in the gray land swamp to the north of Jizhou and to the west. The two places don't look like they can be linked together from a strategic level.

Either he was a deserter, he came here by mistake, and he happened to be poisoned by something.

But even though he's a deserter, isn't he still looking for death by running around in armor?
The strategic deployment is not similar to desertion, so Liang Guo retreated.

After all, the geographical environment of mountains, peaks and seas is there. If used well, it is typically easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But there is a big problem, that is, although Liang and Yu tried their best to concentrate the war in the gray swamp, there were still a series of problems such as a large number of refugees, soldiers fleeing, and many evil spirits caused by negative emotions. It has caused immeasurable economic losses to both countries.

You come and go, and although each has his own wins and losses, he will keep things within a controllable range.

The two countries are like two balloons with a needle in the middle. Once one of them is touched by the needle, it will be completely defeated.

How to put it, take the Liang Kingdom as an example. Because they lost a war, they had to choose to push outside the Grayland Swamp. Then the millions of troops on the border of the Yu Kingdom could continue to advance and cover the above-ground mineral deposits in the Grayland Swamp. In this way, Yu State had the initiative and immediately sent people to mine the mineral deposits. After mining the mineral deposits, there would be money. With money, the war would be confident.

Originally, both sides were a defensive war, and there was no one who invaded the other. However, it was different when the Gray Land Swamp was conquered. With the huge benefits brought by the mineral deposits, the defensive war instantly turned into a war of aggression.

If a war starts on someone else's land, all losses will be borne by the other party. Yu can provoke wars unscrupulously. Even if a big mistake is made in the end, it will just return to the previous state.

After winning the Ashland Swamp, morale is at its peak, the winning rate is greatly increased, and the possibility of losing is relatively small, unless it is intentional.

Once the victory was won again, the front of Yu State once again pushed southward, causing more refugees, deserters, and evil spirits to appear in Liang State. Liang was unable to resist and retreated steadily, watching the war spread to seven states, until Liang State was destroyed, and then Yu won a great victory.

And if it was the Liang State that took over the Gray Land Swamp in the beginning, then the Yu State would be the one who was ruined.

This is the importance of Gray Swamp. Anyone who is not stupid can know that no matter what, it is impossible for both sides to take a step back.

So there is no retreat.

Of course, we can also make peace, but the two sides have been fighting for so long, and their stomachs are burning. It is not easy to make peace.

This is why Shen Yi compared the two dynasties to two balloons.

His head hurt, Shen Yi couldn't figure out what the soldiers in Daliang were doing.

As for the option of catching the old witch, he had never thought about it. He came to Daoguo Village only because of flying around. It was impossible for anyone to know that the old witch lived here.

Unless someone opens their eyes and directly confirms that she is in this place, is this still a joke?

Prepare the coffin and lie down inside to wait for death.

After the discomfort in their hearts subsided a little, the villagers began to come forward to inspect the body, trying to find some clues about Liu Daxian.

Shen Yi also checked and found that the heads of the three corpses were all missing. Looking at the torn and stretched flesh on the neck, it must have been pulled off by something with brute force. Looking at the tooth marks on the neck flesh, A picture suddenly appeared in Shen Yi's mind.

Some kind of huge animal-like creature with a big mouth bit the head of one of the soldiers, and then pulled it off with a strong force.

Looking at the coagulated blood on the ground, it is not difficult to deduce that this thing has no habit of sucking blood, and it is presumably a means of fending off enemies.

Except for their heads, these soldiers had no other injuries on their bodies. Shen Yi looked away, but the next second he was attracted by a spear not far away. He walked over and stretched out his paw to pick up the spear. .

What really attracted him was not the spear itself, but the blood on the spearhead. When he scraped it with his claws, the blood did not solidify and was still wet.

Because of his night vision, he could see a little difference in the blood, which was a little brighter than human blood.

Shen Yi put down his spear and looked into the distance. There was blood not only on the spear, but also in front of him.

He walked over, dipped some in his paw and examined it carefully.

At the same time, on the other side, a villager shouted to Tsurumi Chuyun:

"Girl Jiang, these three people are from outside just like you. Come and see if you recognize them." "Girl Jiang seems to be from a wealthy family... I'm afraid someone from the family came here?"

But she just glanced at them and shook her head: "I don't know them."

"Forget it if you don't know him. Keep looking around to see if you can find Liu Daxian." Master Qin said, waving his hand to disperse the crowd.

At this time, Hejian Chuyun looked in the direction of Shen Yi and saw that he had separated from the crowd at some point. He seemed to have discovered something, so he followed him.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at her face. Because there were people around, he could only lift his blood-stained paws.

Tsurumi Chuyun was a little confused at first, but later she realized it, frowned, took out the night-lighting beads for illumination, and soon saw the blood on his claws.

With the light, one person and one dragon quickly saw the clues. The blood was very different, and the color turned out to be pink.

"Demon blood." He saw Chuyun and immediately recognized what the blood was flowing from.

When a monster has cultivated to a certain level and has not formed a monster elixir, its blood will undergo such changes.

Hearing her voice, all the surrounding villagers gathered around.

"Girl Jiang, what did you find?"

Tsurumi Chuyun wiped a little demon blood with his finger and showed it to everyone. After seeing it, the villagers were a little confused: "We have also seen the demonic beasts in the mountains, but blood is not like this."

"This demon is not simple."

"Master Qin, what do you think?"

Mr. Qin also scraped off some pinkish demon blood and squeezed it in his hand. His face was thoughtful, but after a while, he shook his head. Before he could speak, Shen Yi shook his head at everyone and signaled them. Follow them and lead the villagers forward along the bloodstains on the ground.

These three soldiers have been dead for some time, probably 36 hours ago, and the monster that attacked the soldiers was also injured and escaped. It may be hiding nearby, less than ten miles away from the village. The good Liu Daxian was poisoned by it.

If you see this monster, you will have a rough idea.

The villagers didn't speak and followed Shen Yi quietly.

But not far away, the blood stains on the ground stopped, which was what Shen Yi least wanted to see.

He could only stop, turn around and wipe the demon blood on his paws on the ground, and then shook his head at everyone.

The villagers didn't understand what he meant, but Hejian Chuyun, who had been in contact with Shen Yi for the longest time, understood it and explained: "Xuanli means that there is no blood in front."

"Then what about this?"

"Did Liu Daxian be captured by this monster?"

"I'm afraid this monster will be difficult to deal with. It's so late at night. Why don't you wait until daytime to find it?"

"Ask Master Qin first."

"Master Qin?"

The villagers looked at Mr. Qin again, but he was at the back, holding the sticky demon blood with his fingers. He didn't know what he was thinking. When he noticed everyone's gaze, he immediately looked up, took a deep breath, and said He said something like this: "I suspect it's Empress Huizhu."

"Wha... Empress Huizhu, hasn't she been around for a long time?"

"If Liu Daxian was kidnapped by Empress Zhuizhu, how can we find him?"

"Master Qin, what should we do now?"

Empress Huizhu is the well-deserved ruler of Daoguo Township. If Liu Daxian disappeared because of her, the villagers would have nothing to do with her.

Master Qin subconsciously wanted to give up, but he thought of the three dead soldiers again. How could he not recognize that the three of them were wearing armor?

Feeling that the matter was not simple, he swallowed back what he was going to say and changed his words.

"Wang Bai, Wang Ken, Meng Xiquan, Liu..." He called out the names of several people in succession, all of whom were young and strong men in the village between the ages of 15 and 30.

"Now I want you to go back to the village and bring something."

"Master Qin, please tell me."

"A table, a bowl, a clean white cloth, a bigger one, a bundle of incense, some yellow paper, my peach wood sword, and finally six live chickens."

"I know Master Qin, let's go now."

"hurry up."

At Master Qin's urging, Wang Bai and others who were named immediately left in the direction of the village.

Knowing what Master Qin was going to do, the villagers all found a place to rest.

And when He saw Chuyun coming to Xiong Yingchun, he asked, "Uncle Xiong, what is Master Qin going to do?"

Xiong Yingchun didn't hide anything, and said quickly: "Master Qin wants to see Empress Zhuozhu."

"Oh." He Jian Chuyun nodded and said nothing.

Shen Yi turned his head and glanced a few times, a little confused.

See the Bracelet and Pearl Empress.

How do I see you?
practice?
The Bracelet Pearl Empress must be a big demon. Will she really be summoned?
I don't understand.

After waiting for who knows how long, the sound of cows came from below. Everyone looked at it and soon saw Wang Bai and a group of people coming over with a bunch of things.

"Master Qin, I brought the things."

"Let it go."

Mr. Qin got up, arranged for everyone to put down their things, and ordered Butcher Yao to come forward, kill six live chickens neatly, and fill three bowls of chicken blood.

Curious Shen Yi watched attentively.

Master Qin dyed the white cloth red with chicken blood, lit three sticks of incense and stuck it on the table.

His hands were dipped in the remaining chicken blood and he quickly drew the talisman on the yellow paper.

After doing this, Mr. Qin slapped his hand on the table, and the mahogany sword flew up, and then he caught it steadily.

A little chicken blood was put on the tip of the sword, and then pressed on the yellow paper where the talisman was drawn, and three talisman papers were immediately stained.

Master Qin held a mahogany sword in his hand and started dancing in front of the table. The steps looked messy, but they seemed to have some kind of magic power.

Shen Yi's eyes widened a little. If Mr. Qin's clothes were replaced by a yellow Taoist robe, his hair was cut short, and his face was not handsome, he would look like Uncle Ying.

Just when he was thinking this, Mr. Qin shouted loudly.

It was so sudden, Shen Yi didn't know how he shouted.

"There are so many people under the altar. Although I am worried and uneasy, there are many things that are difficult to solve. Don't blame me, I am a great virtue and a great kindness."

"If you don't blame me, my wooden sword will be stained with blood as a key, and I will burn incense to lead the way."

"..."

"Bless you, wish me good luck, wish you a happy night."

"Bless you for standing, bow for obedience, and bless you for your long body to pass through Youling."

"Bless me for being tall, bless me for being rich, bless me for my treasure, my little smile."
