    Chapter 172 Riding the Black Bull Flying Hoofs to the Copper Furnace

    This is the national treasure sword Yu Shihuang used when he killed himself! It is a divine weapon, yes, but it is also a murder weapon. Rong Guang said: "Yu Shihuang is also big-hearted, or else he was deliberately scaring him to remind him that he actually gave Yulong to him. Does he dare? Hahahaha..."

    Xie Lian couldn't help it, and said, "Why do you think it's so dark?" He raised his hand again and sealed his mouth. Just at this moment, Pei Ming said from a distance: "His Royal Highness, blood rains and flowers, have you two rested well? The bed should be put away, hurry up."

    It didn't take a long time to rest, and it was gone after chatting and chatting.

    The rest of the people stayed here, Xie Lian, Huacheng, and Pei Ming set off. The rain teacher brought a mount and offered to send them a ride to the foot of the copper furnace. Xie Lian thanked them happily. As a result, the black bull was transformed into two or three times its original size, which could accommodate six people. It landed on its front hooves and fell down, and the rain master went up and sat at the front. Pei Ming sat behind him after a long distance. In the end, it is Xie Lian and Huacheng.

    Xie pity straddled it, and the black bull got up and left the ground high. He touched the shiny black hair and said strangely: "Master Rain Master is a really amazing mount. Saburo seems to have mentioned, how did it come into being?"

    The black cow spread its hooves and ran, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated backwards, extremely fast and extremely stable. Huacheng sat behind him and gently hugged his waist, as if afraid that he would fall, and said: "It is the door knocker of a side door of Yulongguan, the royal dojo of Yushiguo."

    It turns out that there is a small custom in Yulongguan. When you see the golden beast on the door and touch it, you can increase your popularity and accumulate good luck. Believers came in droves, and most of them touched the heads of animals such as dragons, tigers, and cranes. Generally, no one touched the heads of cows, and they were very lonely and lonely. So, when Yu Shihuang was repairing at Yulong Temple, every time he passed through that door, he would touch the head of the golden-ringed bull. The cow head on the door knocker stained her popularity, and after the rain master soared, the cow flew with it. As for the others, not a single one.

    Hei Niu moved forward quickly, Xie Lian was brought back slightly, as if leaning in his arms, listening and smiling: "Sanlang really knows everything, it seems that no allusions can't beat you."

    Huacheng also smiled: "What else do you want to know about my brother? I don't know what to say."

    Pei Ming sat in front, Yu Shi didn't speak, he didn't speak, he listened to the movement behind him, and said casually: "Your Excellency Ghost King is really good. His Royal Highness might as well ask Xueyu Tanhua's life experience to see if he will answer you?"

    Xie Lian's smile immediately faded slightly. It's not very polite to ask a ghost king's life experience, and its level of privacy is almost equivalent to asking another man's size in Xie Lian's heart. He was afraid that Huacheng would be unhappy, and immediately turned the topic and said lightly: "General Pei."

    Pei Ming: "What?"

    Thanks for pity: "The bumps ahead, be careful."

    Pei Ming: "What?"

    As soon as the voice fell, the black bull mooed like a loud bell under the seats of the four, and Pei Ming was thrown off. He was stunned and said, "Is there any reason?"

    It's really unheard of and never seen! It's okay to throw it down, people will miss the horse and the horse will stumble, but why don't you throw the front or the back, but the middle? How can this be the case?

    The cow kept going, Xie Lian turned his head in front, and left a series of distant voices: "Speaking of the bumps ahead, General Pei be careful..."

    After throwing Pei Ming down seven or eight times along the way, the four finally rode the Rain Master's Dharma-protecting mount and came to the foot of the copper furnace.

    The bronze furnace was originally a lush green mountain located in the center of the royal capital.

    This imperial city was originally buried deep in the ground, and it probably experienced several earthquakes and was shaken out again. Xie Lian sat on the black cow, waited for a moment, and was about to come down, and found Huacheng standing below, stretched out his hand to him, moved his heart, gave him his hand, turned over, and said: "There is also a temple in Wangcheng."

    Huacheng Road: "That's for sure."

    Although Pei Ming was thrown seven or eight times along the way, he was worthy of being a god of war. He was very tenacious. He walked without lame. He even reached out and patted the cow on the neck, not paying attention to the cow baring its teeth dangerously at him. . Pei Ming said: "The tallest building in the city is either a palace or a temple."

    Huacheng said: "No. The Wuyong Temple in the imperial city is on the mountain."

    He stretched out his finger. Sure enough, a corner of the cornice was exposed on the crimson mountainside, and more parts were hidden in the red shadow. Thanks for the pity: "Why is the mountain red..."

    Before finishing a sentence, suddenly, the black bull who had returned to its original form roared loudly. Several people had already walked forward, and when they turned around, they were shocked, and the bull shook his head fiercely and rolled on the ground. The rain master held its rope firmly and did not let go, and said, "What's wrong?"

    The black cow screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    And after the rain master heard the scream, he pulled out the rain dragon and slashed at the black bull with a sword!

    The sword light swept past, and a black thing was picked up and flew out, and it fell on the street wall, splashing a huge scarlet blood flower.

    Corpse Rat!

    It was not the black cow who shouted just now, but the corpse rat who jumped up on the cow while everyone was not paying attention and bit it hard. Although it was about to die, it was still screaming: "His Royal Highness—His Royal Highness, His Highness! Help me, help me, help me!"

    "boom!"

    Xie Lian was screaming, his scalp was numb, his brain hurt, and Huacheng quickly stopped him behind him, raised his hand slightly, and the corpse mouse was immediately blown into a cloud of blood. But there were still a pair of small eyeballs stuck to the wall, glowing scarlet. Huacheng Road: "Your Excellency Yu Shi, I suggest you check your mount."

    Rain Master is already turning the black cow's hair, saying: "Small injury."

    However, more and more voices began to gather from all directions, one after another:

    "Cough, cough... take me away, who will take me away!"

    "Escape as soon as possible..."

    "I'm so unwilling... Just don't believe his nonsense, I've been wronged to die!"

    "Brother, brother? Your Highness!"

    This sentence is particularly clear, it is the voice of Huacheng. Xie Lian came back to his senses and said, "Sorry!"

    Huacheng looked solemn and said: "Do you understand what they are saying again?"

    Xie Lian nodded. Huacheng reached out and covered his ears and said, "Don't listen. They didn't tell you."

    Xie Lian's scalp was still numb, and he reluctantly said: "I know."

    Thousands of corpse rats are like a black tide, spreading towards the center of one cow and four people. This is the royal capital, the population is denser than the previous dungeon, the dead are more, and the food for the rats is more abundant, so the number and size of them are more impressive. Seeing that it is about to be surrounded by overlapping layers. Pei Ming's expression became serious, with a faint protective aura covering his body, and said, "You go first, I will lead you away..."

    Who knows, before he finished speaking, he saw a large number of corpse rats screaming and rushing towards him, staggering him, and rushing to the rear. Looking back, they were actually chasing the rain master!

    I don't know when, the rain master has stepped on the black bull again and ran in the opposite direction. The cow had already run several feet, not so fast that the corpse rats could not keep up, nor too slow, so slow that it was surrounded by corpse rats and gnawed into skeletons, but kept in a place just enough to lead them. The speed of being chased by them. The rain master said from a distance: "Everyone, please go first, I can lead them away."

    As the rain division rode on the bull, he sprinkled a lot of snow-white rice along the road. After all, mice love to eat rice, and they don't know how many years they haven't seen such white and fat food, and they swarmed up. This was originally what Pei Ming had to do, but Yu Shi took the lead, leaving him with nothing to do. His expression was extremely subtle. Huacheng let go and said, "Brother, let's go."

    Xie Lian had a headache when he heard the voices of those corpse rats, he was relieved when he couldn't hear it, and nodded. But Pei Ming turned his head and said, "Wait a minute. Are you just leaving?"

    Huacheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Otherwise?"

    Pei Ming frowned: "What about Yu Shi's side? She can't handle it, so she just ran away, isn't she messing around?"

    Xie pity said strangely: "Why does General Pei feel that Lord Yushi can't handle it? Looking at the situation, Lord Yushi is clearly able to handle it with ease."

    But Pei Ming didn't seem to be very happy. In the end, he still said: "I can't do it, right? It's not that there is no martial arts here, and there is no reason to let the goddess official. Your Royal Highness, you go first, and then we will meet at the temple when you can catch up." After speaking, he himself chased up. Xie Lian shouted a few times in the back, and Huacheng said: "Let's go, brother. Don't worry, you just can't stand being protected by a woman, and you must find the place."

    Hurrying up, the two passed through the empty shells of the king city and countless petrified people, and ran towards the mountain. After half an hour, finally set foot on this copper furnace.

    The reason why this mountain looks like blood from a distance is because the large forests on the mountain are red. Clearly not maple, but red as maple, blood-like color. Thanks for the faint smell of blood, I am afraid that in the land that nourishes them, resentment and human blood are indispensable.

    The fourth Wuyong Temple was built on a slightly protruding rock halfway up the mountainside of the copper furnace, so it escaped the misfortune of being swallowed by magma. It was the largest of the four temples and the best-preserved one. There are also many petrified people in the hall with different postures, who should be the waiters in the hall. The two went straight to the main hall, and as soon as they entered, there were murals on the walls. However, Huacheng took a look and said: "It seems that someone is ahead of us."

    In the hall, there is only one mural, and the other two walls are intact, but the walls have been smashed to a pulp.

    This is the first time this has happened, Xie Lian was slightly stunned and said, "Who moved the hand?"

    They didn't even solve who painted the murals, and there is another unsolved stery about who smashed the murals. But since everything was smashed, let’s look at the murals first. only glanced at it and didn't take a closer look, the cold hair on Xie Lian's back instantly stood up.

    What is this!

    This mural is completely different from the previous three temples. There is only one person on the screen, but the colors are dark, and the lines and faces are so distorted that it is impossible to tell what this person looks like, only a ragged civilian.

    That's nothing. What makes Xie Lian horrified is that the expression of this person seems to be extremely painful. In the madness, he tore his clothes and exposed his body.

    And on his body, there are actually three faces, each of which is as distorted as his own face!

    Human face epidemic!

    Under the huge impact, Xie Lian's eyes were occupied by the black color of the mural. He murmured: "It's almost... exactly the same..."

    The citizens of Wuyongguo also suffered from the human face epidemic!

    Why is the experience of Prince Wuyong, a man who has existed for more than two thousand years, so terrifyingly similar to him?

    Seeing the situation is not good, Huacheng stabilized him and said: "His Royal Highness, don't look at it."

    But the impact of the distorted picture was too great, and the shadow of the human face epidemic in Xie Lian's heart was too heavy. He was a little obsessed and stared at it. So, Huacheng simply pulled Xie Lian over, pressed it into his arms, and said in a strong but gentle tone: "Okay! Your Highness, listen to me. Listen to me."

    After a pause, he said solemnly: "Look, the first few murals are all developed in chronological order, and there are causes and consequences. The last one was that Prince Wu Yong built a bridge to the sky, and the next one must be immediately after. Yes. But this mural doesn't connect to the previous one at all, does it."

    Xie Lian reacted quickly and said: "...Yes, there must be some omissions in the middle. Someone came before us and destroyed the other two murals."

    Huacheng Road: "Since this person destroyed the other two murals, why didn't he destroy this one? Why did he leave it?"

    Thanks for the pity: "Two possibilities. First, he feels that it doesn't matter if he keeps this picture, but he can keep it or not, and he is not afraid of being seen by me."

    Huacheng Road: "What about the second?"

    Xie Lian said slowly: "Second, this person destroyed all three murals. The one left behind is actually a fake, he only painted it later!"

    Huacheng Road: "That's right. You might as well think a little more boldly. Maybe all the murals along the way are lies, maybe. We are very close to the answer. Before that, don't think too much about yourself, okay?"

    Buried in his arms for a long time, Xie Lian finally dug out the terrifying picture from his mind, only then did he notice the posture of the two, and quickly prepared to pull himself out of Huacheng's arms, saying: "...Sorry, Saburo , that I..."

    Huacheng didn't let him leave, but hugged him tighter and smiled: "Nothing to be embarrassed about. But..."

    He lowered his head and said, "Actually, there is a third possibility."

    The lower half of Xie Lian's face was buried on his shoulder, and Huacheng's voice was right next to his ear, and it was very low and low. No one could hear it except him.

    He held his breath slightly and heard Huacheng's deep voice: "The third possibility is that this person does not want to destroy all the murals, but he is too late. He just destroyed the other two, and we are here. And now, he is hiding in this hall."
