Chapter 34, The Boy in the Box, Evil Dao Appears
By the sixth day, the team had lost four or five cows. en8. The ox cart, which was still very loose, became tense at once. Every day, goods were moved up and down, and the guards tried to make more space.
Zheng Zhenzhen didn't have much to do every day, and after watching them move things for a long time, he noticed something unnatural.
"What kind of cargo is this convoy transporting? Why do they use this wooden box to nail the airtight layers?" Zheng Zhenzhen was walking around curiously, and she asked one of the guards.
"Let it go, girl, we can't move!" The four guards came over with a big box sweating profusely. Zheng Zhenzhen couldn't stand in the middle of the road anymore, so he could only watch them go.

"It's strange, such a big box is more than enough to hold four or five children. What is it that is so big?" Zheng Zhenzhen followed up reluctantly.
The guards put the boxes into the ox cart and then stopped, and ran to get other boxes. Zheng Zhenzhen took this opportunity and jumped on the back of the ox cart. She put her eyes close, but it seemed that there was something dark inside the wooden box, and she couldn't see it at all.
Zheng Zhenzhen reached out and lifted the box again, and found that the box didn't move at all, and it seemed to have an amazing weight. Can't see, can't lift, Zheng Zhenzhen thought about it and put his ears close, but he didn't hear anything.
Probably a dead thing like a statue. Zheng Zhenzhen thought so, and suddenly a small voice came from his ear.
The sound was subtle, as if someone was breathing against her ear. Zheng Zhenzhen suddenly felt a cold air coming up from the soles of her feet. She took a few steps back and looked at the box carefully, but at this time there was nothing unusual.
"Girl! Please don't make trouble, we are busy here!" The guard was about to put another box in, but when he saw Zheng Zhenzhen standing inside, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Wait, what the hell is going on here? How am I..." Zheng Zhenzhen was in shock, she wanted to ask about the situation, but the guards didn't appreciate it at all, and drove her away in a few moments.
Zheng Zhenzhen recalled for a long time, the weak breathing was very real, it should not be an illusion. She felt a little scary, and her first reaction was to run back to find Yun Qing. When she rushed back into the car, she saw Yun Qing meditating, and immediately calmed down again.
Yun Qing concentrated on mobilizing his true qi, and after a small week ended, he raised his head and said to Zheng Zhenzhen, "Scared?"
Zheng Zhenzhen nodded vigorously, she was almost taken aback by Yun Qing's omniscience: "I was really scared to death just now!!"
"Speak slowly." Yun Qing reached out to pour water for her, but Zheng Zhenzhen stopped her.
"I'll do it myself." Zheng Zhenzhen took the square inch cup in her hand and said a little embarrassedly, "It's too much of you to do this every time you cast spells..."
Yun Qing didn't say a word, and didn't know what technique he used, but he turned a cup of cold dew out of thin air without touching the square inch lamp.
Zheng Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry while holding the cold little lamp. en8.
"Take rootless water from between heaven and earth, and then use the big sun and black sky demon flame to remove its impurities, which is relatively clean." Yun Qing explained, with a thought, the black flame circled around the small lamp, "There is nothing here. Itβs reliable, Iβm afraid there will be a problem if you eat and drink with those people every day.β
Zheng Zhenzhen didn't expect Yunqing to be so prepared. He looked at her for a while silently, clutching the hot water, "...Thank you."
"Go on." Yun Qing nodded and motioned her to continue.
Zheng Zhenzhen was interrupted by her, and the fear in her heart had dissipated a lot. She said solemnly: "I think there are living things in those cargo boxes!"
"Why do you say that?" Yun Qing's expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
"I heard! There was something breathing in there, and the guards kept avoiding talking about the contents of the box!" Zheng Zhenzhen said excitedly.
Yun Qing reassured: "Okay, don't worry, what if it's a living thing? Can we still let it go?"
"This..." Zheng Zhenzhen thought about it carefully. Whoever stipulated that the cargo box could not contain live things? It is not impossible to hunt some rare animals from the mountains and sell them to the grasslands. But she still felt something was wrong in her heart, the weak breath echoed in her heart from time to time, making her sweaty.
"Still can't let go?" Yun Qing saw her tangled face, so he said, "Then let's go to explore tonight."
"Ah!?" Zheng Zhen really didn't expect Yun Qing to accompany her to do such a thing.
"I also want to know...what is it that can survive for so long in such a completely airtight environment."
Yun Qing smiled meaningfully.
Zheng Zhenzhen thought about it carefully, and was even more frightened in his heart. If there are living things in the cargo box, and there is no breathing or food in that place, how did it survive?
ββββββββββββββ
"This...are we really going?"
The convoy camped at night to rest. Although the place has not yet reached the depths of the grassland, there are also prairie wolves, and it is still very dangerous to travel at night.
Zheng Zhenzhen asked Yun Qing next to her in a low voice. She was light on her feet, for fear of waking up the sleeping guards beside her.
Yun Qing had a magnanimous look, as if she was not going to pry other people's cargo boxes at all, but to visit the door. Aman was never in the state, and followed behind Yun Qing with a stupid look, and his footsteps shook the ground. Every time he took a step, Zheng Zhen's heart trembled, and those guards were lucky if they didn't wake up with such an earthquake-like movement.
"If you don't want to, then we'll go back." Yun Qing stopped, but Zheng Zhenzhen was even more nervous.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Think!"
Yun Qing said: "Let's lead the way, where is the box you said?"
Zheng Zhenzhen lightly walked around several bullock carts, walked to the end of the convoy, and pointed to the goods that were just sorted out today: "It's in there."
Yun Qing stepped forward, and there were six or seven such large boxes in an ox cart. According to Zheng Zhenzhen's description, the one she heard today was probably in the cart.
"Are you going to get those outside?" Zheng Zhenzhen looked back and saw that Aman had stepped forward and opened the car door, and took down the box without much effort.
Zheng Zhenzhen was stunned. Today, several guards were so tired to carry a box that he actually lifted the box easily with one hand.
"You stay with Aman, I'll go up and take a look." Yun Qing rubbed the square inch cup and disappeared. Zheng Zhenzhen knew that she got in the car.
But after Yun Qing went in, there was no movement at all. The moon outside was covered by dark clouds, and the surroundings were pitch black. Zheng Zhenzhen froze when he heard the wolf howling coming from somewhere.
"Yun Qing?" She lowered her voice and looked into the car.
It was dark inside, and Yun Qing's white sacrificial clothes stood out. Zheng Zhenzhen saw this scene and realized that the darkness is really divided into degrees. There are still stars, lights, and moonlight in the darkness of the night, but the darkness shrouded in Yunqing's body is like an abyss that swallows light. not come out.
She was wearing white clothes, but she was wrapped in raging flames, standing quietly in front of the box. At this time, the box fell to the outside, and Yun Qing opened a big black hole on the top.
"Don't come here." Yun Qing sighed.
But Zheng Zhenzhen had already walked to her side, and a stench came out, and Zheng Zhenzhen almost didn't spit out his breakfast.
The stench seemed to have penetrated her nose directly into her mind, clearly terrifying. Zheng Zhenzhen felt that it was a bit like fresh meat that had been left for a few days in the extreme heat, rotten and smelly. Zheng Zhenzhen covered his nose, but the smell was sticking, pervasive, and extremely pungent. She exclaimed in dismay, "What is this!"
"Don't come here." Yun Qing still repeated this sentence, she raised her hand, and the wide sleeves with intricate patterns blocked Zheng Zhenzhen's sight.
"What is it?" Zheng Zhenzhen couldn't help but look around curiously, but Yun Qing's body was devoured by black flames, and she couldn't see anything.
"help meβ¦β¦"
A small voice came from the opening of the box, Zheng Zhenzhen couldn't stand up when she heard this, she quickly walked up around Yun Qing.
Crawling out of the big black hole was a boy who was so dirty that he couldn't see his human form. He was covered in dark and dirty mucus and all kinds of unrecognizable filth. He was wearing a tattered shirt that looked like a Taoist robe. His hair was disheveled and his face could not be seen clearly. He was on all fours, crawling in a twisted position.
"Ouch..." Zheng Zhenzhen covered his mouth and wanted to vomit, and the boy on the ground exuded a terrible stench.
"Are you okay?" Zheng Zhenzhen squatted down, wanting to see the situation of the boy, but Yun Qing pulled him behind him the next second.
Almost at the same time, the boy crawling on the ground pounced on Zheng Zhenzhen like a beast. Through the unkempt hair, Zheng Zhenzhen saw his scarlet eyes in a hurry, and these eyes flashed fiercely like a hungry wolf.
"Ow!"
Yun Qing was protecting Zheng Zhenzhen in one hand, and holding a square inch cup in the other, so it was too late to perform the trick. She reacted very quickly, dragged Zheng Zhenzhen to the left to avoid a step, the young man was castrated, rushed out of the box, and brought out some scattered things during the running.
Zheng Zhenzhen inadvertently glanced at what was on the ground, it was a white bone with tooth marks.
"Hungry..." The boy made a vague voice and rushed towards the two again.
The space inside the car is too small to dodge, so Yun Qing let go and pulled Zheng Zhenzhen's hand, and pointed to a sword like lightning. The white jade light was condensed at her fingertips. The virtue of a gentleman is quite restraint against evil things.
The young man took a step back in fear, but Yun Qing did not want him to escape, and the radiance of the square inch was shining brightly.
"A square inch is boundless, and drawing the ground is a prison."
This is also the technique after entering the Dao, and it is the most essential use of the square inch lamp, which isolates the world. This trick was used by the white-clothed emissary of the Hundred Thousand Mountains before on Yun Qing. At this time, Yun Qing could only hold on for a short while with the help of the Heavenly Book, but this moment was enough.
The boy was blocked by an invisible barrier, and his reaction was slow. At this time, the Xuanyuan Huayu Technique in Yun Qing's hand was stacked a few more layers, and the original fingertip sword actually became about the size of a real sword.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "It's better to die, and you won't be hungry anymore."
As she spoke, black flames filled her body, and a black flame wrapped around the white jade sword. Without hesitation, it stabbed into the young man's scarlet left eye, and the tip of the sword came out from the back of his head with dirty black mucus.
"Ahhhh!!" Zheng Zhenzhen screamed, frightened.
Yun Qing dissipated the technique, Bai Yu and Hei Yan both returned to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a dark liquid flowed out of the young man's brain, emitting a stench. This young man swelled up like a long-decomposed corpse, his skin festered, and disgusting corpse fluid flowed out.
"This, this..." Zheng Zhenzhen forced himself to calm down, "What is this?"
Yun Qing wiped the square inch cup, thinking silently.
"Oh, you said this kid, he is a little Taoist, he seems to be called Qingyuan or something. He didn't want to stay in his own school, so he followed me to learn the magic of moving mountains and reclaiming seas, but unfortunately he was too stupid and died accidentally. It's in your hands..."
Yun Qing turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Yu Tu with a dark complexion standing outside the car, smiling gloomily at them.
