167 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 166

166 The Saint Yinghuo is born 2

Xie Lian couldn’t help but be stunned.Pei Ming said: “Is this okay?”

Huacheng said: “Why not?”

Several people looked at him.Huacheng Road: “Isn’t it just to light mortals to the sky? He only needs to temporarily light all the Wuyong people near the imperial city to the sky, and then put them back after the volcano erupts and the dust settles. Why not?”

Pei Ming said: “Don’t make it so easy to find flowers in the blood rain. It’s not like you don’t know that it takes mana to order a general. How many people does he have to order?”

Pointing generals is actually using their own magic power to “raise” the mortals they point out for their own use.Otherwise, if there were no restrictions, wouldn’t the various priests desperately go to the sky to order people and lead them?The emperor ordered the civil and military personnel of the three palaces and six courtyards to be counted, and the general ordered his entire army to be counted.

Huacheng Road: “Judging from the ruins left behind, the entire Wuyong Kingdom has a population of about hundreds of thousands. There are only tens of thousands of people near the imperial city.”

Xie Lian whispered: “Although it is difficult, but… it may not be impossible to try hard.”

Pei Ming said: “Even if there are tens of thousands of people, no priest has ever dared to order so many. If this is the case, it is hard to tell whether he is brave or extremely stupid. It is unprecedented and unprecedented.”

Xie Lian looked at the bridge on the mural, his eyes fixed on it.The faces of the prince in white and the four guardian angels under the bridge looked more and more weird to him. They looked more and more like his own and the faces of the four national masters. He recalled the faces of the Yinghuo Shouxin. This story seemed to be repeated in reincarnation. He couldn’t wait to know what would happen next, but he felt as if he already knew it vaguely.

He didn’t dare to look at the mural anymore, turned his head and said, “Have you found water?”

Ban Yue dragged Pei Su and said, “That brother is looking for him.”

She was talking about Yinyu.Xie Lian looked at Pei Su who had his eyes closed, pondered for a moment, and then said: “I think, let’s go to the copper furnace next, and little General Pei can stay here.”

After all, Pei Su is still a human being, so there are many inconveniences. Moreover, they don’t know what is waiting for them ahead.Pei Ming knelt down and looked at Pei Su, and said: “Okay, I agree. But please don’t tell His Highness the reason when he is in front of him. The child will understand. I will just tell him this matter.”

Xie Lian said: “General Pei, don’t worry, I can save this, otherwise I wouldn’t have said it while he was awake.”

After all, Pei Su was once a promising young martial arts god in the Heavenly Court. Now it would be uncomfortable if he was put here because he couldn’t keep up with the team.However, if you do something wrong, you will be punished. This is the feeling of exile, and you can only endure it.

A few people stayed in the temple and discussed for a while. Xie Lian asked strangely: “Where is Yinyu? Why haven’t you come back for so long? Have you never found water?”

Huacheng is staring at a few dead butterflies perched on his fingertips. Those silver butterflies have just been put to great use, and now they have returned to him and are put away to accumulate energy.He raised his head slightly and said, “It won’t be that long.”

Thanks to the vigilance, he stood up and said: “Let me go and take a look. General Pei is watching here, Sanlang is with me?”

It was natural to be with him.So, Xie Lian left Ruoxie behind and formed a protective circle with him. The two left the temple and walked deeper into the dungeon.

There were many houses and clutter on the road. Xie Lian picked up a jar that looked quite pleasing to the eye. Huacheng seemed to find it funny and said: “Why did you pick this up?”

Xie Lian said: “If you find water later, you can bring some back to General Pei.” After all, he was used to collecting rags, so he couldn’t help but patted the jar in his hand and said, “Speaking of which, this is still a thousand-year-old antique.”

Huacheng laughed and said: “If you like this kind of thing, come back to my place. I also have a few. You can see if you like it.”

After burning the incense, the two of them heard the faint sound of water flowing.After a while, Xie Lian said: “Here!”

There is indeed an underground river underneath.Xie Lian put the picked jar into the water and washed it vigorously.Thousands of years of dirt have condensed into a thick crust that cannot be washed off, but brushing off the surface dust can work.He filled the jar with water, lowered his head, and was about to take a sip himself. Hua Cheng, who was observing the surroundings carefully, turned around and said, “Don’t drink it.”

Xie Lian had already put his face close to the jar, and when he stopped him, he wondered: “What?”

At this time, a voice said: “It’s so hot.”

There were only two of them present, so where did this third voice come from?Xie Lian subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, and the sound actually came from the jar in his hand!

He lowered his head suddenly and saw a pair of tiny scarlet dots in the jar, lurking in the water and staring at him.

What?!No matter how you look at it, this is a pair of eyes!

The moment he looked into these eyes, the thing suddenly rushed towards Xie Lian’s face.The splash of water arrived first. Thanks to quick eyesight and quick hands, he threw the jar several feet away and hit the wall. With a sound of “clang!”, the thousand-year-old antique burst into bloom, and the thing hidden inside fell to the ground, instantly jumping into the darkness.In his haste, Xie Lian didn’t see it clearly. He only thought it was a big black thing and said, “What is it?”

Huacheng stopped in front of him, and Xie Lian said depressedly: “There was no such thing in the jar before, right?”

Huacheng Road: “No, it swam in specially from the water. There are often things swimming in groups in this underground river, so I ask you not to drink this water.”

Xie Lian thought: “Then let General Pei drink whatever he wants…” Suddenly, a chill ran down his back and he shouted: “Who is it?!”

At that moment, he heard someone coughing in the distance!

That was definitely not his illusion, and he was immediately on full alert.Soon, a wave of whispers spread.In all directions of the two people, pairs of red lights lit up, surrounding them in the center.Huacheng Road: “Don’t worry. It’s not a human being.”

Xie Lian thought: “It’s not just talents who need to worry…”

Listening carefully to the whispers, he discerned what the voices were saying:

Cough cough cough…”

It’s so hot, so hot…”

It burned me to death…”

Wuwuwuwu…”

I’m going to be suffocated to death…Is anyone there…”

I can’t move, I can’t move!”

Although these sounds are small, they are clear and painful, like little ants burrowing into people’s ears.Just as Xie Lian was about to put his hand on her heart, he suddenly heard a stern voice: “His Royal Highness, where is His Royal Highness?! Help me, help me!!!”

Hearing the last sentence, Xie Lian was horrified, and for a moment he mistakenly thought that the voice was calling him.And Huacheng waved his hand, and thousands of dead spirit butterflies suddenly dispersed and pounced on the pairs of red and glowing eyes!

The silver light of the silver butterfly spread everywhere, illuminating the countless things whispering in the darkness.They are indeed not humans, they are actually rats!

Huacheng took him and said: “I said there are a lot of rats here. Let’s go!”

Xie Lian walked and said in shock: “Is that a mouse? Why does it look more like a cat to me…”

Seriously, those mice were bigger than kittens, with fur all over their bodies as black as steel needles, and a pair of small red eyes shining fiercely in the darkness. Many of them were climbing on the wall, staring at them closely, and they were still talking in human language, which was extremely weird.Silver Butterfly pounced on them and started fighting with them. Red light and silver light flashed alternately. He couldn’t see clearly the battle situation, but he also knew that it was extremely fierce and brutal.Xie Lian said: “Isn’t it possible that Yinyu was dragged somewhere by them?”

Huacheng said: “It’s not that useless. It should be held back by something else.”

Hearing the first half of the sentence “Thank you for your pity” was a little relieved, but the second half was brought up again.He said: “It doesn’t matter if the rats are this big, why are there so many of them? What do they eat to grow so big?”

Huacheng Road: “Simple. Naturally, they are dead people. These are corpse rats.”

It turns out that when the city was covered by volcanic ash, large livestock such as humans and cattle, horses and sheep had nowhere to hide. However, the rats drilled deep into the ground and survived by relying on the air and stored food deep in the caves.

After the dust settled, they re-drilled their holes and ran around in the city that had become a hell, looking for food.However, everything was destroyed, either buried by magma or covered by volcanic ash. Many things were chewed up, and food could not be found for a long time.

Until one day, they smelled something rotten.

The putrid smell came from those humanoid petrified statues.Some corpses were wrapped in volcanic ash shells. The shells were relatively thin and began to rot. A peculiar smell wafted out, and corpse water flowed out.

So, the hungry, red-eyed rats circled around the fossil statue, biting a small hole on the surface of the stone statue, crawling in through the hole, and gnawing on the corpse inside.

The humblest things are often the easiest to survive.The corpses of the dead people were wrapped in fossils, and their strong emotions such as fear, anger, unwillingness, etc. were also wrapped in them. The rats ate their corpses, eating these emotions together, and began to be able to speak human words, saying what they wanted to say but could not say at the moment before they died.

Xie Lian suddenly said: “So that’s why they said those words. I’m still wondering why they said such things…”

Who knows, Huacheng suddenly said: “What did you say?”

Xie Lian was startled and said: “What did I say?”

Huacheng stared at him and said: “What did they say? What did you hear?”

Xie Lian said: “Sanlang, didn’t you hear? It’s like ‘it’s so hot’, ‘it’s suffocating’, ‘can’t move’, ‘help me’ and the like…”

However, Huacheng reacted before he could speak.

No!

Those corpse-eating rats repeated the hateful words of the Wuyong people, and of course they were also Wuyong words.

So, why can he also understand Wuyong language?!
