Chapter 683: Ghost Town (I)

The night of the Gobi is divided into two types.

A kind of starry and moonlight.

A dark curtain is dull.

In the hazy moonlight, there were not a few stars in sight, and the sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue in the black, stretching into the distance.

There is always wind in the Gobi at night, which quickly takes away the dry tropics of the day, and all that is left is cold, not the biting cold, but a kind of dry cold, which is even more pure.

In the Gobi, it has always been a dead horse running from the mountains.

Obviously, the exquisite ancient city is in front of you, but it didn't arrive until night completely fell.

Looking at this city, Gongsun Qi was happy.

Along the way, most of the hundred tribes did not have a city, at most it was a village, that is, there was a city, and it was also a low earthen wall.

But this exquisite ancient city in front of him has a wall as high as two feet.

However, this wall is chilling.

Unlike the brick city of the Wu Dynasty, it is not the kind of boulder piled up, but is made of sand and stone mixed into a square boulder, and then put together.

It's just that...... In every square of sand and rocks is a terrifying human bone.

I think it was at the beginning of the construction, and the human corpses were mixed in.

From these horrific twisted forms, especially the open curvature of the jaws of the half-skull, there is a complaint of the pain before death.

The entire city wall looks like a picture of Faust's hell.

Bone Walls!

Before entering the city, Gongsun Qi's team endured a dismount.

Some of the nine guards wanted to retreat, but when Guo Huai turned the double crocodile blades again, everyone dispelled the idea of escaping.

Everyone is unsheathed with their swords unsheathed, and they are on full alert.

Only Gongsun Qi, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he gently clamped the horse's belly and slowly entered the city.

From the length of the city hole, you can see the thickness of the city wall, the deeper the city hole, the thicker the city wall, the thicker the city wall, it means that the more human bones are filled in the city when the city is built.

Walking in the cave of the city is like walking in the hell of a skeleton.

Creeps!

Out of the city cave, there was no sudden brightness in front of him, but Gongsun Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

In front of the group, there is a lush bamboo forest.

"Hell, the bamboo from the Gobi!!" Guo Huai scolded.

Hell indeed!

Bamboo is a tall tree-like grass, shallow-rooted plant.

The underground stem of bamboo, commonly known as the bamboo whip, grows horizontally, slightly empty in the middle, and there are also knots and many and dense, and many fibrous roots and buds grow on the knots.

The buds develop into bamboo shoots that burrow out of the ground and grow into bamboo.

Other buds do not grow out of the ground, but grow horizontally, developing into new underground stems.

Therefore, bamboo grows in patches and forests.

Because of this structure, bamboo has high requirements for hydrothermal conditions, and most of them prefer warm and humid climates.

At the same time, bamboo's requirements for soil are deep and fertile, and acidic soil rich in organic matter and mineral elements.

And all this is completely inconsistent with the climate of the Gobi!

Gongsun Qi frowned, the master taught that if something goes wrong, you should think about it holistically, focus on the subtleties, and not let go of any detail.

I touched the knives hanging on the horse, two in all.

One is called the 'Lengyan Serrated Knife', and the other is called the 'Iron-backed Dragon Knife'.

In the Kunlun faction, where divine weapons and sharp weapons are endless, these two knives are nothing anymore, especially the 'Lengyan Serrated Knife' is too ordinary.

However, this knife has an extraordinary significance for the Kunlun sect.

For quite a few years, Xiang Tianxiao held this knife alone, facing the knife congregation.

Although there are thousands of enemies, I will also go!

The knife!

Symbolizes the gall of Kunlun!

"Forward!"

Gongsun Qi let out a low voice, and the procession moved forward.

The bamboo forest is luxuriant, obscuring out the moonlight, and the forest is dark.

There are guards ready to light the torches.

After a few traces of sparks, some guards complained:

"Damn, it's too damp here, and the flint can't be hit. ”

Indeed, everyone felt that the air in this bamboo forest was humid, which was in stark contrast to the dry wind outside.

"Poof!"

A soft sound made everyone nervous.

Looking around, let everyone relax again.

But see, the bamboo seems to be glowing, the bamboo is verdant, and there are white flowers opening on the end of the bamboo.

Bamboo blossoms!

The bamboo flowers are slender and white, which is very beautiful, especially when it is opened as a piece, with the emerald green of the bamboo, it is even more beautiful.

Gongsun frowned, the scene in front of him was beautiful, but it was a kind of folk omen.

Because!

Bamboo blooms and dies!

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Gongsun got up and tightened his muscles, and the horse neighed under his crotch for a moment.

Everyone felt a heat wave from Gongsun getting up.

In an instant, everyone filled their brains with a burst of heat, making their minds feel comfortable, and then they became clear.

The torch is lit, the emerald green bamboo light disappears, and the surrounding bamboo has bloomed again?

Hallucination!?

Suddenly!

"Whoosh~~~!" sounded.

Shoot countless bamboo spears from the depths of the bamboo forest!!

There was a sound of swords breaking bamboo, accompanied by a human scream, and the bamboo forest returned to calm.

Gongsun Qi held a cold serrated knife in his hand and glanced at the five bamboo spears in front of him that had been split by him.

Suddenly turning around, he glanced at the guards again, one of the guards was pierced through the chest by several bamboo guns, and Zhang Qiling was doing his last thing.

Zhang Liao and Guo Huai glanced at each other and launched their own actions.

Jumping up, Guo Huai soared in mid-air, and the double crocodile blades in his hands swept through the bamboo forest.

At that time, Zhang Liao crossed Gongsun Qi and opened the way in front, with a low roar, and the sword qi rushed forward.

In an instant, the bamboo forest in front was uprooted and ground into slag.

There is no bamboo to cover it, and a street is exposed at the end of the bamboo forest.

"Pretending to be a ghost!"

Gongsun spoke contemptuously, and then snorted firmly:

"Forward!"

He is one of the six sons of the Kunlun faction, and the childless son is also, and he is a disciple of the Kunlun elder's 'Desperate Knife' Gong Ling.

In the eyes of Gongsun Qi, there is only indomitable, and I am invincible!

Step out of the bamboo forest and into the street.

There was silence!

Like an empty city, or is it a ghost town?!

Gongsun stopped his horse and waved his hand gently.

Zhang Liao, Guo Huai and the eight guards immediately searched separately.

When he was young, Guo Huai and several guards reported:

"The house is very clean, it should be occupied, the stove is still hot, and someone makes a fire to cook. ”

Zhang Liao also came back with him, and replied:

"There is a well in the city, and there are buckets in the wells, and the dew in the barrels is sweet. ”

Gongsun nodded his head, swept everyone, frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"Someone hasn't come back!"

With a sweep of his eyes, there were indeed two missing people among the guards, one of whom was Zhang Qiling.

"Don't!!"

"Ah~~~~ Help!" this is Zhang Qiling's cry for help.

The sound came from the nearby alley, with houses in the middle.

Saw!

Gongsun Qiren was on the horse, and the cold serrated knife came out in his hand.

Houses that block everyone's view explode, roofs fly, and walls break!

One of the guards had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and Zhang Qiling was wielding an iron short stick to fight two black shadows, unable to see it.

Seeing someone coming, the black shadow flew away.

"Go there!"

Zhang Liao shouted and flew out with Guo Huai.

No vain, double calamity.

Two fierce soldiers draw green rays under the moon!
