Chapter 209: The Depths of the Miasma
"It is said that the soldiers who guarded the imperial tomb did not disperse after their deaths, and they still faithfully guarded the imperial tomb, killing all intruders, and were called: 'Immortal Legion'." Cheng Qixue took the scroll and read it aloud with emotion.
Wu Bai complained anxiously on the side: "Miss Cheng, can't you remind me earlier?" β
Cheng Qixue replied to him lazily: "Is it too late now?" β
Cheng Qixue drove the horse close to Mo Zhiyu, and said with some concern: "So, in this world, are there really ghosts?" β
"It's just a ghost." Mo Zhiyu smiled slightly, and gently patted the horse's neck to calm the horse down.
Ahead, Gongsun Yunjie sneered: "What an undead legion, a group of undead souls imprisoned here, the same kill!" β
As soon as his words fell, the sword qi turned into an extremely fast wind blade, and it was scattered in all directions, only the sound of clanging was heard, and all the undead guards were swept away by these wind blades. The gray-white gas in the armor was instantly dispersed, and the empty armor and weapons were scattered to the ground in a chaotic manner, filled with some wind and frost scratches.
"Wind ...... The wind can be so strong. Luo Bingqian was stunned.
The wind phase belongs to wood, Mo Zhiyu only glanced at her lightly, he knew that Luo Bingqian was also a Yuanli monk with a wood attribute, and a Yuanli monk who was good at the wind phase in the wood attribute was usually known for his agility, such as Luo Bingqian. And Gongsun Yunjie is also a wind attribute Yuan Force cultivator, but the display is completely on the other hand, the strong and domineering sword just now is really from the military cultivation of the Sword Heng Sect.
"That's it...... That's it? Wubai was a little incredulous, "No...... Isn't it the 'Legion of the Undead'? β
"The undead legion doesn't have to be immortal." Cheng Qixue shook the scroll and drove the horse forward lazily, "No matter how terrifying the legend is, it's just a horror story." β
"It's a classic story." Dong Dangan played the harp in his hand, allowing the smoke in front of him to disperse some of it.
"Girly." Wu Bai cut off.
"Let's go." Gongsun Yunjie put his sword back into its sheath and led the way again. So the men and horses of the seven set out again.
As soon as they left the place, the armor and weapons on the ground staggered, and the red and white gas gathered again, making them stand up again.

The rest of the journey doesn't seem to be difficult. The seven of them only encountered a few waves of undead legions, all of which were easily solved by Gongsun Yunjie. Eventually, they came to a dilapidated house.
"Huh!" After slaying the last undead guard, Gongsun Yunjie collected his sword and returned it to its sheath. He disdainfully kicked the armor that stood in his way on the ground, looked up at the place, and said, "Looks like this is a military town." β
"At the time of Emperor Chentian, in the place where the heavy army was stationed, a military town would be set up for the army to be stationed, and a military town could accommodate five thousand people." Cheng Qixue looked at the scroll, then looked up at the military town, and continued to look down at the scroll, "The army stationed in the Emperor's Mausoleum is called 100,000, I don't know how many military towns there will be along the way." β
Gongsun Yunya took out a compass and drove it with Yuan Force, and a virtual topographic map was radiated on the compass, with a red dot flashing on it, which was exactly where they were now.
"This is the first military town, the so-called 'one mile and one town', and we are nine towns away from the foot of the emperor's tomb." Gongsun Yunya drew a line on the map, "Follow this direction, at most another three days." β
"It's getting late, and it looks like we're going to have a night's rest here today." Wu Bai pushed open a door, and with a "squeak", the entire wooden door collapsed, and the smoke and dust that had been deposited for many years came from the pavement, making him cough violently.
Dong Dangan played a song lightly and said, "Sleeping in the open air, what a lot of inspiration." β
Gongsun Yunjie glanced at him obliquely, walked to the front of the house and waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, and then said: "Young men, take a hand, hurry up and pack up this place for the girls to live in, and we will take turns to patrol the night at night." β
"Huh?" Cheng Qixue laughed lightly, and completely crushed the crumbling room with one kick.
Wubai immediately became excited: "Miss Cheng, this is the only house that is intact!" β
"It's just a broken house." Cheng Qixue raised her hand in a dashing manner, holding a glass bead between her fingers, and what was wrapped in the pillar. Then she threw the beads into the open space outside the ruins of the house with a dashing flick.
With a "bang", that little bead turned into a gorgeous tent.
"Wow!" Wu Bai shouted, "This is the legendary mustard bead? β
Luo Bingqian looked at Cheng Qixue with admiration on her face: "Sister Cheng is so powerful!" β
Everyone immediately ran outside the tent and lifted the curtain, and saw that the shape of the space wall inside looked larger, with a low square table in the middle, three mattresses had been laid in it, and there was a screen on the right, behind which there was a large bathtub large enough for five people to bathe.
It's really everything.
"This level of ...... Expensive, right? Wubai swallowed.
Cheng Qixue smiled casually: "The Xianhua League has an account. Then he stretched out his foot and kicked Wu Bai, and said, "This is where the girls live, so make a good effort and move this pile of stones away so that you can put your tent." β
Dong Dangan played another song lightly and said, "The willows and flowers are bright and another village, a good song." β
Gongsun Yunjie glanced at him: "Can you speak well?" β
There was a commotion here, but Gongsun Yunya saw Mo Zhiyu pausing quietly on the ground, as if he was studying something. So he walked over, and although he was puzzled, he still put on the style of the eldest lady and asked, "What the hell are you looking at?" β
"It's just looking at ghosts." Mo Zhiyu picked up a helmet from a pile of armor, and then picked up a belt from a pile of rags, "I'm curious, it's said that it's the Imperial Tomb Guard, why don't you even unify your clothes?" β
At the mention of this ink delusion, Gongsun Yunya also squatted down and looked at it carefully, and said suspiciously: "Look at this costume, this belt is later than the age of the armor." β
Mo Zhiwei looked at her with a smile and said, "Miss Gongsun seems to be very knowledgeable about clothing?" β
Gongsun Yunya replied very unceremoniously: "Of course girls have to study clothes, hum!" Then Gongsun Yunya ignored him, got up and ran to his brother with a piece of armor and rags, and shouted, "Brother, there is a discovery." β
Mo Zhiyu lightly "tsked": "Grab the credit? β
I stayed here that night, and had a simple mealβit was simple, but with Cheng Qixue here, eight meats, eight vegetables, and a soup plus dessert after the meal, there would be no shortage of dessertsβand then I was assigned a vigil and began to rest.
On the first night, Yumo no Delirium and Muki took turns keeping vigil. Mo Zhiyu saw that Wubai looked full of food and drink, so he said to let him go to sleep for a while first, he was worth the middle of the night.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside, it seemed, singing. - Next chapter, "Embattled"
