Chapter 11 Death (please collect)
The next day.
"Huang Jun, Xue Jun, how did you rest last night? Did you hear anything?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked quickly when he saw Huang Xie and others.
"very bad……"
Xue San's broken arm has been bandaged, but the hand can never be reattached: "I suffered all night, but I didn't hear anything abnormal."
"Wow, Loopy Ha kept watch last night and nothing happened."
Loopy Ha said quickly.
"No matter, we will return early today...it's strange, I sent the paperwork yesterday, but why is there no response?"
Huang Xie muttered to himself strangely.
But he didn't know that the document asking for help and Tian Bufen were... gone together!
"In that case, let's set off after breakfast."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded.
Unknowingly, this small team was headed by him.
Xue San looked at his bandaged wound and said sadly: "After this injury, I will probably have to go back to the inland to recuperate. I am going to recommend you, Su Jun, to be the corps leader..."
Su Daozhi's martial arts skills are obvious to all.
Moreover, if the post of corps commander was not given to him, should it be given to the two dogs?
Xue San also had no choice. He knew that it was difficult for the Fufeng Protectorate to recruit new recruits. If he recommended it himself, the superiors would definitely agree. He only had to pass the test of Tian Bufen.
Zhong Shenxiu remained silent. As a prisoner, he must have meritorious service to be pardoned.
The great achievement here must at least be the kind that shocks the entire Fufeng Protectorate. Killing a few monsters is nothing.
And if he cannot clear his name, he will be restricted and unable to leave the Fufeng Protectorate and go inland, let alone be promoted to a high-ranking official.
"The entire Fufeng Protector's Mansion is respected by the Grand Governor, and there are civil and military officials. Let's not talk about the civil officials. The military officers are from the general, the captain, the Wei Zheng, and the Ying Zheng all the way down..."
The military system of the Yanhan Dynasty consisted of five men per corps, ten corps per pawn, five pawns per battalion, and the commander was the battalion commander, the ninth rank.
'As a guilty person, the most a military officer can do is a pawn commander, and the civil servant can at most be a small official, and then he can never be promoted... It's really embarrassing to be a mere corps commander, let alone a pawn commander Tian. Fen may not agree...'
'Wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten something last night... Was it because I was cultivating the Xuanyin Taming Soul Remnant Chapter and accidentally released the resentful spirit? ’
This Taoist technique is originally used to control the ghosts for my use.
But if the soul is too strong, it may lose control.
Zhong Shenxiu was deeply afraid that something would go wrong if he accidentally killed someone while practicing, which would be bad.
fortunately.
Judging from the feedback received in the early morning, nothing unusual happened in the entire village last night.
However, although Zhong Shenxiu looked down on the captain, he did not refuse.
He thought to himself: 'I have always been steady, and I don't want to show off... With Su Daozhi's identity, it would be better not to defect, but to hide under the protection of the Fufeng Protectorate. After all, there are still many things in this world. There are too many dangers that I don't know about... As for Tian Xiu, just find another identity to be responsible for showing off. ’
Xue San only had a broken hand but could still walk. The four of them took the body of the unnamed unfortunate guy who was bitten to death by a strange dog and set out on the road early in the morning, returning to the military camp around noon.
The area that Black Mountain Fort is responsible for patrolling is inherently dangerous, and casualties of the patrol team are not uncommon.
A mere injury or death means that the soldier commander is notified, and the soldier commander reports it to Xu Wenling, the battalion commander stationed at Heishan Fort, to sign a document.
But I got stuck at this step.
Xue San and others waited for several days, but did not see the soldier Chang Tian Bufen. Then they realized that the matter was serious and alerted Xu Wenling, the commander of the camp.
The military camp was no better than anywhere else, and staying out at night was a serious crime. Tian Bulen was also a veteran, so there was no way he would be like this. It was probably an accident.
Unfortunately, even if Xu Wenling sent out all his men to search, he could not find any trace of Tian Bufen.
This person had gone out to seek revenge, so of course he would cover up his traces, which would inadvertently make the search more difficult.
It was a mess outside, but Zhong Shenxiu was very leisurely.
Their group suffered heavy casualties and needed training, but they were not bothered.
Moreover, Tian Bufen, who was hostile to Su Daozhi, disappeared, which made him live a happier life.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Zhong Shenxiu continued to meditate and practice Qi in the room, and gradually gained a glimpse of the innate Qigong.
…
A few more days passed.
For everyone in Black Mountain Castle, it was a very peaceful day.
But for Zhong Shenxiu, it is a matter of life and death.
The half-moon period, the double full moon, is here!
In the wooden house.
Zhong Shenxiu sat cross-legged with a solemn expression.
The double full moon was a hurdle for him. Su Daozhi before could not bear the backlash and pain of the resentful spirit and was tortured to death.
There was no sadness or joy in his heart, and he was calm, slowly waiting for the evil spirit to attack.
In the sky, the twin moons gradually became full and radiant.
Suddenly, Zhong Shenxiu groaned and felt severe pain in his body.
It was as if... there was an evil ghost gnawing at his bones and internal organs.
"Woo!"
The muscles on Zhong Shenxiu's face twisted and she let out a low cry of pain: "No wonder Su Daozhi was hurt to death. However, although my spirit is stronger than his, my body can't bear it..."
In the moonlight, he looked at his arms and saw that the skin had become paler and seemed to have lost all warmth.
Not only that, his figure was also gradually getting thinner, and his cheeks were sunken, like a skeleton.
It was as if the headless earl in his body was devouring all flesh, flesh and vitality.
After all, a resentful spirit is a resentful spirit, demanding flesh and blood, and needs...feeding!
And Su Daozhi's body may not be able to survive even a few full moons, let alone a rampage on a blood moon night.
In this strange moment, Zhong Shenxiu's expression changed slightly.
His spirit spread out, and part of him seemed to turn into the legendary count, fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.
There was also a part that seemed to have become some weird idealistic being, wandering in a small village, and saw the horrified face of a person, that was...Tian Bufen!
‘It turns out that Tian Bufen once entered the village at night with evil intentions, but was killed by the resentful spirit of the headless Earl that I accidentally controlled? ’
Zhong Shenxiu's eyes were cold, and he grasped this thought in a flash of lightning: "If we continue at this time, this body will be useless! The only chance of survival lies in innate Qigong!"
He meditated forcefully and began to practice Qi.
This technique was created by the masters of hundreds of martial arts schools in his last world, but it was unable to break through due to the limitations of the world's vitality.
After arriving in this life, I have been trying to figure it out every moment.
After these few days of meditation, I finally reached a certain peak and was only one step away from getting started.
At this moment, on the line between life and death, the shackles were finally broken!
