Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 79 Everyone in Kyushu is looking for you (3)
This is something she has never done since she practiced corpse dance.The basic requirement of a corpse dancer is to restrain desires and emotions, and pursue a state of mind that is almost desolate and dead, in order to obtain the purity of spiritual power. This is somewhat similar to An Xingmian's Nagato.Since then, she has been working hard to suppress her emotions and suppress her overreaction to everything outside. Even when facing death, she is almost completely calm. This state lasted until she met An Xingmian.With this guy who is as warm and warm as a spring breeze, she feels that her cultivation level is like ice that is melting little by little, and what is even more frightening is that she is still enjoying it.

Xue Huaiqing was intoxicated in her own remembrance and nostalgia, gradually and temporarily forgot about the approaching death day step by step, and also put aside the annoyance and anxiety that had been lingering in her heart.On this night, which may be the last couple of times in her life, she has left all restraint and forbearance behind her.She began to recall the loneliness and warmth of her childhood in the mountain village with her adoptive father, the distress and sadness when she was bullied by the children in the village, the horror and fear when she tried to make a corpse servant for the first time after entering the school, and the feigned love when she parted with An Xingmian. The smiling face and the sadness in the heart... The trickle of emotions slowly gathered into a raging flood, submerging her in it, but making her feel a kind of joy of breathing freely.

The night is getting darker, and in two or three hours, the sky will light up.According to the message that Ye Xun brought when delivering the meal, she would be executed at noon.Xue Huaiqing let out a long sigh, and felt that since he was already full, why not take a good night's sleep, and neither be a starving ghost nor a sleepy ghost.But then she unexpectedly found that her mind couldn't calm down, and those nostalgic emotions just stirred together, as if forming a wave-spiritual force.

She couldn't believe it, and after a little testing, she found that this feeling was not an illusion, but real.Her mental power is recovering!

Xue Huaiqing didn't dare to be negligent, and complied with this spiritual force, and slowly began to exercise, and then she found that once she tried to use the meditation that she used to practice the corpse dance, the spiritual force would become weak and even difficult to capture; But if she works in the opposite direction, instead of extremely restraining her emotions, but forcing her emotions to diverge and explode, her mental power will increase.But emotional outbursts run counter to Corpse Dance. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Never mind, always open-minded, she thought, anyway, she is going to die in half a day, even if this spiritual force will bring harm or even kill herself, it is just a short time of early death, it is not important, just try it, maybe you will die soon. Can bring unexpected vitality.Thinking of this, she completely abandoned meditation, but tried to recall those things that could make her extremely sad, or extremely angry, or extremely happy, mobilizing her emotions to cater to the continuous increase of her spiritual power.

Damn it, Xue Huaiqing suddenly realized what happened, could it be that I accidentally found a new path of cultivation, so that the lost spiritual power was recovered?

Xue Huaiqing guessed right, she inadvertently found another path of cultivation by mistake, but this path did not come from humans or Yuren, but from the race of giants - Kuafu.Due to Kuafu's special constitution, he is less sensitive to the power of stars than other races, so he cannot use meditation to cultivate spiritual power.So they did the opposite, and began to release their emotions indulgently, using pure and strong emotional fluctuations to obtain a boost in spiritual power.The Kuafu family is rough and simple in nature, and their emotions are relatively pure. Those extreme ecstasy, anger and grief, those extreme hatred and love made them find the best way to cultivate their spirit in a unique way.

For Xue Huaiqing, he has been doing meditation training that is completely opposite to Kuafu's all year round, and his emotional fluctuations have been suppressed to the lowest point.On this night when she was about to die, she inadvertently released all her emotions, just like bouncing off a bowstring stretched to the extreme, and unexpectedly comprehended a spiritual training method similar to that of the Kuafu family.And the large number of precious tonics she had taken these days also played an effective role at this time, stimulating the cooperation of the body and spirit.But at this moment, she happened to have no scruples, and when she found the abnormality, she simply went along with it, so she achieved an effect that she didn't even expect.

Before dawn, more than half of her mental power had recovered, and according to her estimation, she could already drive three to four corpse servants.However, although his mental power has made great progress, his body has become even more exhausted, and he is still unable to fight with others.Xue Huaiqing felt a little regretful, thinking that if only he could find this way earlier, maybe he could find a way to fight to the death with these bastards, but at this point, it would be useless to think too much.She didn't think about anything at all, and planned to fall back to sleep, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, judging from the familiar knocking sound, it should be Ye Xun.But what happens when he visits late at night?
"Mr. Ye? Please come in." Xue Huaiqing said.

It was indeed Ye Xun who came in.He carefully closed the door, came to Xue Huaiqing's bed, and whispered: "Follow me!"

"Follow you?" Xue Huaiqing was taken aback, "Why? Where are you going?"

"They will kill you tomorrow," Ye Xun said, "You are a good person. I will take you out."

Only now did Xue Huaiqing realize that Ye Xun had come to save her, and she couldn't help being moved.This seemingly cold and withdrawn weirdo actually has warmth deep in his heart, and he also has his own criteria for distinguishing "good guys from bad guys".Presumably everyone in the palace looked down on him and hated him, but Xue Huaiqing always treated him with courtesy, so in his heart, she became a "good person", and he would rather risk the crime of disobedience to save her.

The good and evil of the human heart really cannot be judged by appearances, Xue Huaiqing thought while shaking her head at Ye Xun: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, but this place is heavily guarded, it is impossible for you to save me, and I cannot get involved you."

"But, you are a good person," Ye Xun said, "you can't die."

Xue Huaiqing smiled slightly: "Regardless of good people and bad people, life and death are inevitable. But no matter what, I am very, very grateful to you. At least before I die, I can still make a kind friend. Thank you."

"Friend, friend?" Ye Xun's eyes lit up for a moment, then darkened again.He didn't say anything else, turned around and left, still carefully closing the door for her.Xue Huaiqing looked at the re-closed door, suddenly felt a sense of peace in her heart, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, the sun was shining outside the window.Xue Huaiqing rubbed her eyes and realized that she was woken up by someone else, and that person was Feng Yufan.Feng Yufan's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be slightly angry, which was quite different from his usual calm and easy image.

"What's wrong? The guillotine is rusted so I can't cut off my head?" As the time of death approached, Xue Huaiqing became more and more able to tell jokes.

"I never thought that you would make friends with Xumizi." Feng Yufan said coldly.

"Xu Mizi?" Xue Huaiqing was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why the other party mentioned such an irrelevant person, "I do know this person, and it probably has a little relationship, but I definitely can't count him In his eyes, even if a junior like me is mentioned as 'sumer's friend', it is mostly an insult to him."

"Really? Insulting him?" Feng Yufan smiled awkwardly, "Then why did he kidnap the lord's favorite sixth grandson, claiming that if he doesn't let you go, he will kill that child and turn him into a corpse servant?"

Sumiko is the greatest corpse dancer of this era, but also the most terrifying corpse dancer.

Corpse dancers are a mysterious profession that is not well known to outsiders. Most people have only heard a little bit of horror rumors related to these exorcists, and such rumors are often exaggerated and exaggerated. As for losing the truth.There are very few people who really know the corpse dancer, so not many people have heard of Xu Mizi's name, but in the minds of those who know him, this person is the embodiment of the devil.

The signature of the corpse dancer is to use the corpse dance technique to drive the corpse, making the corpse become his loyal servant, fighting for himself, and completing various chores for himself.But ordinary corpse dancers are nothing more than looking for suitable corpses in the tomb, but Xu Mizi is different. He likes to directly inspect the living people, and then kill the living people alive to become a corpse servant.This person is bold and reckless, as long as it is the person he likes, no matter who the person is or how noble the person is, he will think of all schemes and schemes to kill the other party, overtly or covertly, and take the corpse, and the Yu clan is no exception.Many years ago, he had killed the second son of the lord of Kadiku city-state, the great city-state of the feather clan in Lanzhou, and made him a corpse servant, which also triggered a series of incidents later.But right now, his sinful hands once again reached out to the mighty nobles of the Yu clan.

The current lord of Huoqintu city-state is Fengji, the third son of the old lord.In the battle for the throne that year, he has always been the most low-key and forbearing. After the death of the lord, the two brothers fought fiercely, but he kept hidden. After the brothers killed each other and their strength was greatly damaged, he Only then did he make a sudden move, and after winning easily, he won the position of lord.This is a ruthless, cruel, cunning and cunning hero, so people never imagined that someone would be so bold as to dare to touch Feng Ji's favorite thing.

On the night of being kidnapped, Fengji's sixth grandson was sent to the Yining Hall in the east of Ningnan City to learn Go.Go is a game of chess introduced from the Eastern Continent, and it is very popular among the nobles of the feathered people. Feng Ji especially feels that by strategizing on this chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, it can exercise people's control and judgment of the overall situation, so the family All of his offspring must learn Go from an early age under his request.

The sixth grandson, Feng Yiming, is only seven years old this year. He is smart, young and mature, and looks a bit like Fengji when he was young. Therefore, Fengji regards him the most, and arranges him in Yining where Liu Yun, the master of the Eastern Continent, sits. Studying in the library and being taught by Liu Yun himself.

But half of the agreed time has passed, and Feng Yiming has not arrived at the chess hall, which is a bit unusual, because Feng Ji's family education is very strict, and no family members are ever allowed to be late for anything.Liu Yun realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to inform the palace, the lord immediately sent out elites to search, and found the carriage that Feng Yiming was riding in near the chess hall before dawn.The carriage was empty, Feng Yiming had long since disappeared, and all the attendants and guards were knocked unconscious to the ground.A deep wound was drawn on the arm of one of the followers, and the murderer used the blood from the wound to write a few words on the carriage wall:
Before the morning of the [-]th, the woman was released.Otherwise, the baby will be a corpse servant.

Sumiko.

These few words are so simple that they are almost obscure, and outsiders will be completely confused when they read them, but Feng Yufan, the deputy commander of the Tiger Wing Division, can understand the meaning at a glance.This corpse dancer named Xu Mizi was threatening to leave a message, asking the Yu people to release the imprisoned Xue Huaiqing, otherwise he would kill Feng Yiming and turn the child into a corpse servant.The time was the early morning of September [-]th, that is, three days later.

A good walking corpse does not necessarily have to be strong and strong, it may be cultivated into a poison sac covered in poison, it may be cultivated into a carrier for casting secret arts, regardless of age and gender.Since Xu Mizi said these words, it must not be empty talk, Feng Yufan was shocked and angry for a while.He thought he knew Xue Huaiqing's background very well, and knew that corpse dancers were always cold in nature and rarely had fellowship, so he only needed to be wary of her lover An Xingmian, but he never expected that, obliquely The evil god Sumizi would actually be killed in the assassination.The ferocity of this person is not comparable to that of An Xingmian, who was born in Nagato. It is no exaggeration to say that his appearance may make the entire Ningnan City uneasy.

"Dig the ground three feet, no matter how much you pay, you must find Sumeru!" Feng Yufan gritted his teeth and said to the elites of his Tiger Wing Division, "Remember, you only have three days."

So the Tiger Wings of the Tiger Wing Division all dispatched.Tiger Wing Division is similar to the Jinwu Guards in the human court. They are responsible for defending the lord or the Yuhuang. They are all elite fighters, but at this moment they are looking for a corpse dancer, which makes them a little confused.After all, corpse dancers are a group of special people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet one or two in their lifetime, and they don't understand the habits of this group of people at all.Xu Mizi is even more outstanding, and those who have met him are considered good if they survived.

They can only search blindly, from checking various hotels and inns to breaking into residential houses, it is naturally impossible to find any trace of Xu Mizi.This group of elites worked almost non-stop for two days, all of them were so tired that their hands and feet were weak, and they were reprimanded and scolded by Feng Yufan.What's even worse is that there are still colleagues who are lazy and sabotage.

"Where did Lan Mu go these two days?" Feng Yufan asked.

Tiger Wings, look at me and I look at you, no one can answer.Feng Yufan snorted: "It looks like he doesn't intend to stay in the Tiger Wing Division anymore, maybe I should let him go back to the City Affairs Division to do handyman."

Feng Yufan was wrong.This Huyi named Lan Mu not only intends to continue to stay in Huyi Division, but also dreams of meritorious service and promotion. Because of this, he didn't waste his time in vain in places where he was destined not to find Sumeru .Compared with others, he has a deeper understanding of corpse dancers, because he once had a lover who was a corpse dancer.

At that time, he was just a handyman in the Department of City Affairs, but he had a lofty ideal in mind, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice everything for this ideal.For this reason, he first seduced this female corpse dancer whom he met by accident with sweet words, and tricked her into stealing the cemetery of a noble family in southern Ning, and stole the body of a young boy who had just died in a duel in the family, and finally Then arrest her and bring her to justice.With this credit, he was transferred to the Tiger Wing Division with a better name and higher status.And in this fake love game, he also learned a lot of little knowledge about corpse dancers from his lover.

"Where do you usually live when you walk outside, especially when you enter towns and villages? Shouldn't it be conspicuous to have a walking corpse around you?" He asked at that time.

"Actually, the walking corpse is around, and most people can't see it, so we can easily stay in the hotel," the lover who will be betrayed by him in the future replied, "However, if we go to a dangerous place or need to hide our whereabouts, we Usually... sleeps in the grave."

"In the grave?" Lan Mu gasped.

"Yes, in the tomb," said the lover with a hint of pride, "first of all, except for corpse dancers, ordinary people will subconsciously avoid the place where the dead are buried, no matter how high their martial arts skills are; secondly, if they encounter enemies in the tomb, In case of emergency, there are plenty of corpses around. Although ordinary walking corpses without specially made corpse servants are not so useful, it is better than nothing, not to mention that rotten corpses can also make the enemy psychologically..."

"Stop talking!" Lan Mu yelled strangely, "Thinking about it this way is really disgusting."

But now, Lan Mu couldn't care less about nausea.He avoided his colleagues, walked through the wilderness of Ningnan City and the territories of the nobles, and searched carefully.There are only three days, and he must use these three days to find Xu Mizi before everyone else, and get the first power.The longing for future glory made him forget his sleepiness and fatigue, and with the breath of grave soil, he looked like a walking corpse that got out of the grave.
