Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 80 Everyone in Kyushu is looking for you (4)
If I were Sumeru, where would I hide?Lan Mu didn't stop thinking about this question for a moment.He heard a few words about Xu Mizi from the lover of the corpse dancer. Although the lover had never seen Xu Mizi, it was just hearsay, but after all, it could still give him a little understanding of this person's situation.According to the description, Xu Mizi should be a guy who is bold and reckless, who will do what is dangerous, and always has his tail up in the sky.Therefore, he judged that if Sumeru wanted to hide in Ningnan, it would be a shame to hide in those small tombs.This old bastard would probably choose the tomb of a famous noble family, or even...

Two and a half days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already the afternoon of September 29th. If Xu Mizi could not be found before the next morning, either Ningnan City would have to bow his head and let him go, or the lord's favorite grandson would be killed. Being killed, and turning into a walking corpse, no matter what, it is enough to make the city-state lose face.But Lan Mu still got nothing.He made up his mind to take risks for his own future.

In the middle of the night, Lan Mu sneaked into the royal tomb.When he was doing those boring things in the City Affairs Department, he was in charge of surveying and mapping for the reconstruction project of the Royal Tomb. He was very familiar with the road layout here, and he also took the opportunity of surveying and mapping to quietly observe the arrangement of the Royal Tomb sentry.He didn't know whether this observation would be useful in the future, but it was his habit to write down everything that might help his future.Fortunately, he really used it. Although he would be killed if he was discovered, he couldn't care less. If he wanted to succeed, he had to be brave enough to take risks.

Lan Mu accurately avoided all the patrolling posts and found the way to the mausoleum.Speaking of which, the Feng family has ruled Ningnan City for only one or two hundred years. Even with the accidental deaths caused by the war, there are not many lords or other royal family members buried there, but like all imperial families, the Feng family The construction of the mausoleum is extremely huge, and it seems that it is ready to rule here forever-although this kind of thing has never happened in history.

Lower-level officials like Lan Mu are not allowed to consult the map of Wang Ling's organs, but he doesn't need to find and deal with those organs by himself.He believed that with Xu Mizi's talent, if he really chose the royal tomb as his hiding place, he must have closed all the traps, or found a passage to avoid the traps.He searched carefully around the mausoleum, and when he was almost desperate, he finally found something strange about the soil on the ground.He gently dug away the soil on the ground, revealing a robbery hole under the soil.

What a versatile corpse dancer, Lan Mu smiled silently, it seems that Su Mizi brought a few very useful corpse servants.He took a deep breath and got in from the robbery hole.The hole was dug with a professional standard. It looked narrow, but its circumference seemed to have been measured with a ruler. It was just right for a human body to drill through without getting stuck.It didn't take much for him to get into the interior of the mausoleum.

It was pitch black ahead, and there were no stars and moons to provide light, but he didn't dare to venture into the depths rashly. This is the royal tomb, and there might be traps at every step, and one careless step would cost his life.However, if you don't move forward, how can you find the whereabouts of Xu Mizi?
He thought of lighting the fire, but it was tantamount to telling Sumeru: Someone is coming for you.At this moment, he suddenly remembered what a formidable opponent Xu Mizi was. If he wanted to attack, he really had no chance of winning.

Lan Mu hesitated for a while, weighing left and right, and suddenly gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and strode forward.As far as he is concerned, if he cannot gain enough status and power, he might rather die.

Fortunately, I didn't run into any organs along the way, which may be because Xu Mizi has closed the peripheral organs.But the more he walked forward, the more uneasy he felt. It seemed that there was a pair of invisible eyes watching him from the dark.It suddenly occurred to him that corpse dancers are used to seeing things in the dark, so it doesn't make much difference whether they light the fire or not.Perhaps now Xumizi is standing not far away, watching him coldly, and those horrible zombies under him are sticking to his back, stretching out their cold claws...

This thought made his hairs stand on end, and he desperately took out a fire pocket to light it up, and then he realized that his imagination just now was too shallow, because the real scene was even more terrifying than his imagination.

——He has been surrounded, firmly surrounded by a group of walking corpses.These walking corpses were about ten steps away from him, forming a tacit circle, and he happened to be in the center of the circle.What's even weirder is the appearance of these walking corpses. They all look so unusual. They wear semi-rotten robes that are obviously finely crafted and have shriveled skin and flesh on their faces and hands. .To be exact, he was surrounded by a pile of mummies.

Lan Mu desperately restrained her urge to yell, and quickly realized what these mummies were—they were all the ancestors of the Feng family in Wangling!The nobles of the Yu clan have a unique funeral method, injecting antiseptic spices into the corpse, which can keep the corpse from decomposing for many years, but only slowly dehydrated and shriveled.This bastard Sumeru was really daring, to wake up all these noble royal families who had been sleeping for decades or hundreds of years, and let them serve as his entourage and servants!
"You are so courageous, you actually dare to come here to find me." A haughty voice sounded.Lan Mu searched for his reputation, and with the help of the dim light of the Huo Zhezi, he saw a man with the appearance of a middle-aged Confucian scholar standing outside the circle of corpses, looking at him with his hands clasped.Could this be Sumiko?He couldn't help shaking his hands, and the torch fell to the ground, the flames were extinguished, and his field of vision turned into darkness again.

As soon as the flames disappeared, he heard a strong wind blowing in his ears. He hurriedly tried to deal with it, but the enemy slammed into his ribs with unknown parts, and then his elbows, shoulders, and legs were attacked at the same time, almost It was captured without any resistance at all.He felt that the walking corpses of the royal family grabbed him with cold hands, pressed them firmly to the ground, and their mouths were gagged, like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

It's over, Lan Mu thought dejectedly, after only one meeting, Xu Mizi used the walking dead to capture him alive. It seems that he still overestimated his own strength.He should have figured out how powerful the person who can snatch the king and grandson under the guard of the royal family is, why would he try to catch him alone?It can be seen that the profit makes the mind faint, and this time stealing chickens will not cost you money, but even your life will be ruined.

Lan Mu was complaining about herself, when there was another voice in the darkness.But what was strange was that it wasn't just Sumizi who had just caught a glimpse of him speaking this time, but also another person, a young man's voice.The young man is having a conversation with Sumiko.

"Okay, the troublesome little bastards have been cleaned up, I can continue to teach you." It was Xu Mizi who spoke first.

"You beat me up pretty badly just now, not to mention I've already apologized to you, why can't you let me go?" This was the young man.Listening to his voice, he seemed to be enduring pain, as if he had really been beaten up by Sumeru.But even so, his tone was not flustered, nor did it contain a genuine begging tone, but a slight smile, as if chatting and joking with an old acquaintance.The next two sentences of the two of them completely shocked Lan Mu.

"You dare to tarnish my name like this, of course I will teach you a lesson," Xumizi snorted, "My Xumizi's reputation is much more valuable than your little life."

"I know, of course I know," the young man laughed, "but I really can't help it. How can I scare those feathered people without borrowing your name? Doesn't this also indirectly show that you are famous all over the world?" Well—a fake Sumeru can make the largest city-state of the Yu Clan restraint!"

What does this mean?Lan Mu felt that his brain was about to turn into a paste.Doesn't this mean that it was not Xu Mizi who kidnapped Wang Sun at all, but this young man in the dark?This guy is really daring. While daring to attack the powerful Huoqintu city-state, he also dared to pretend to be Xu Mizi. Either of these two sides is not something that ordinary people can afford to offend.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry about pretending to be me, but I appreciate it very much," Xumizi replied, "Dare to pretend to be my name, which shows that you are brave enough, which is quite attractive. I The most angry thing is that you pretended that you couldn't get home, and you lost my face."

"Really? I thought the tone of my blood book was quite similar." The young man murmured.

"The tone is really good, and everything else is in a mess," Xumizi said mercilessly, "First, Xumizi never leaves anyone alive, but you actually knocked those guards out from people, and spread the word." Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"

"We Changmen monks don't like to kill." The other party replied.This sentence made Lan Mu's heart skip a beat again.He immediately understood that the guy who pretended to be Xu Mizi and threatened the lord was An Xingmian, the long-door monk that the city-state had been guarding against.It's just that according to the intelligence of the scouts, this person has a gentle and generous disposition, never commits cruelty or does evil things, so people would never imagine that he would use the trick of kidnapping children.It can be seen that he is really desperate to save his lover.Lan Mu suddenly envied such true feelings.

"Second, even if it's a blood book, I'll just cut off one of his hands, use the palm to write, and leave a painless wound on the arm like you... Do you want to use red paint to pretend to be blood?" ?” Xu Mizi was obviously really annoyed.

"I really thought about it that way, but time is running out, so I have to feel sorry for that man." An Xingmian sighed.

"The most irritating thing is that you took this little baby and hid in a deserted grave in the countryside. Fortunately, I found it," Xu Mizi became more and more angry as he spoke, "Who is Xu Mizi? Can't stop It would be good to go into the palace and grab the territory with the lord, and hide in that kind of place to pretend to be a ghost?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Mu heard a crackling sound of fists and feet in the tomb. It was obvious that Xu Mizi became angry again while he was talking, and he was going to teach An Xingmian a lesson by manipulating the walking corpse.The crisp sound of bones being broken kept coming from his ears, and then he remembered that according to the scout's information, An Xingmian was very good at joint techniques.It seems that the corpses of those noble ancestors were first treated as servants by Xu Mizi, and then crippled by An Xingmian. It is really a sin.

After a while, the fight stopped, and An Xingmian said out of breath, "Hey, if you continue to fight, you will die. These zombies hurt you!"

Xu Mizi snorted coldly again: "Only pain can make you have a longer memory."

"I'm really sorry for the ancestors of these Yuren." An Xingmian was very helpless, "You obviously have corpse servants, but you want to use other people's ancestors to fight, because you want to show off your superb corpse dance skills, even a century-old mummy Can it be driven?"

"It's just that your little life is still useful, I have to keep it for the time being, if I use my own corpse servant, you still have life?" Xumizi said, his tone suddenly became a little gentle, "Besides, This can be regarded as a reward for you, at least I found an apprentice for me."

Why did it bring up the topic of apprentices again?What's more, counting a beating as a reward is really incredible enough.As Lan Mu was thinking, something even more unimaginable happened, because a third voice sounded from the tomb, a very familiar voice.

"Master, please forgive Brother An. He has taken good care of me these few days. Is it a credit?" This is an immature child's voice, "What's more, I don't think his body is very strong. As thin as our Yuren, if it is really broken, it will not be able to help you."

Lan Mu had heard this voice before, and it was Feng Yiming, the kidnapped grandson that caused Tiger Wings to search hard for three days.

The lord's favorite grandson worships a corpse dancer as his teacher?The noble Yuren royal family wants to be a corpse dancer?The queen of the dignified royal family, the possible candidate for the future lord and the city-state's sworn enemy are mixed together?Lan Mu felt that his brain was not enough. He had no way of knowing what happened in the past three days, and he would never have the chance to know.It seemed that Sumizi didn't remember his existence until this time, and made up his mind not to let him go out with so many secrets.The hands of the mummy holding him began to exert force, and he heard the sound of his cervical spine being twisted.

At the last moment of his life, Lan Mu vaguely remembered the lover who was betrayed by him many years ago.What an irony in this world, he thought with the last of his consciousness, I betrayed a corpse dancer many years ago, and now another corpse dancer has inadvertently avenged his kind.

Four nights ago.

An Xingmian and the unknown female sky-killer were sitting opposite each other. It looked like two old friends were having a heart-to-heart conversation. It was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago, the two had a short but thrilling fight.

"Saxigaro... sorry I can't give it to you," An Xingmian said, "nor anyone else."

"It's useless to keep this thing on your body, because you don't know what it is at all," the female heavenly driver said sharply, "Its only function is probably to bring you endless danger and trouble. "

You have no idea what it is.The words of Nv Tianqi touched An Xingmian's heart.For years, Saxigaro had been following him, disguised as a charm on his belt, without him ever noticing it.He recalled that not long ago, facing the real culprit who framed Nagato, when everyone was about to fall into desperation, Saxigaro was suddenly awakened, and dispelled the opponent's seemingly unstoppable secret technique in an incredible way.Another monk who fought side by side with An Xingmian called out Sa Xijialuo's name. Only then did he know what he was wearing on his body.

Just as strange as Sa Xijialuo is Feng Qiuke who taught him martial arts.This featherman with high martial arts skills has been secretly following An Xingmian since nearly 20 years ago, protecting his safety. No matter how much An Xingmian pleads, his ghost will never leave.At first An Xingmian believed what he said, thinking that he was trying to repay his father's favor, but in the end he realized that this guy was not trying to protect him, but Sa Xijialuo.This thing seems to be more important than everything else, making Feng Qiuke, a top expert who can draw with Xu Mizi, leave his original identity and life, live far away from his hometown in Donglu, and follow An Xing like a bodyguard. sleep beside.

In the following days, while thinking about how to rescue Xue Huaiqing, he also guessed the truth about Sa Xijialuo.What the hell is this?What is the relationship with the city-state where Feng Qiuke is located?Why did he carry it with him since he was a child?Why didn't Feng Qiuke simply take this thing back directly, but let this treasure always be placed on a human being who has no relatives or relatives?

These questions gave him a headache, but he couldn't find the answer. He has never seen these four words in any book, nor heard the teacher mention them.The Nagato monk who called out the name of Saxigaro had only heard of its name in the legend, and did not know other details.Before leaving the Heluo Dungeon where he was hiding, he also made a special trip to ask several knowledgeable Heluo elders, but the Heluos didn't know much more than the head monk.
