"It turns out that he left after receiving a message from a carrier pigeon. I don't know what the news was, but it actually made him leave in such a hurry?"
Yang Ji was secretly curious.
For Yang Xuanlan to leave in such a hurry without even bothering to pursue him, such news must be extremely big news.
"But this is fine."
Yang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and opened the black envelope and read it. Yang Ji had not seen Bai Yuanyuan's writing, but at the first glance, Yang Ji knew it must be her.
The words on the letter paper were written in beautiful fonts, and it looked like they were written by a woman. Moreover, there was a cold and holy atmosphere between the lines, which was exactly the same as Yang Ji's impression of Bai Yuanyuan.
After reading the entire letter from beginning to end, Yang Ji knew that neither Bai Julu nor Bai Wuji was telling the truth. Bai Julu and the others were overthinking, thinking that Bai Yuanyuan fell in love with him, and they made up a lot of their own imagination.
As for Bai Wuji, it's just nonsense.
Bai Yuanyuan didn't even mention a word about her danger in the letter. She only hoped that Yang Ji could visit him if he was free. He didn't mention anything else.
"I don't know if what Bai Wuji mentioned is true or not. The woman in white who was next to Yi Xiantian also mentioned Bai Yuanyuan..."
Yang Ji held the letter and was thoughtful.
The rumors may not be without reason. Yang Ji didn't know what Bai Yuanyuan's situation was now, but at least one thing was certain. Judging from the reactions of Bai Wuji and Bai Julu, Bai Yuanyuan was definitely in trouble.
However, it may not be as serious as Bai Wuji said.
"I'd better go and have a look later..."
Yang Ji thought to himself. Bai Yuanyuan was able to mention this matter to him in a calm tone, which meant that the matter was not too dangerous. The top priority was another matter.
Today is the time for the opening of the martial arts examination, and Yang Ji still doesn't know how his results are. Moreover, Yang Xuanlan is now sitting in Langya City, deliberately plotting to deal with himself. I'm afraid it will be another time to receive the title of martial arts scholar in the future.
A big trouble.
"Langya County can't go back. The martial arts examination has ended, so I'd better go back first. As for the matter of fame... I'd better find a way to ask Senior Brother Zhao and the others to help me take a look, or directly ask the elders to come forward."
Yang Ji frowned and thought to himself. Thinking that he couldn't go to see the results in person, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Yang Xuanlan's incident is a disaster after all.
"Now we can only see if the elders can help me for the sake of defeating Bai Julu in the martial arts examination and coming first."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
There was no way to go back to Langya City. Yang Ji's heart moved and he took out his boat, turned around, and fled all the way towards Tieguan Mountain.
…………
Langya City.
The towering city wall is as smooth as a mirror. The height of a hundred feet is an insurmountable height even for martial arts experts.
"Roar!"
There was a hoarse roar, resembling an animal but not an animal, and not a human being. Then there was a whoosh, a flash of light, and a black shadow clung to the smooth city wall at an extremely fast speed, and then used both hands and feet to climb up the steep city wall at an extremely fast speed.
Climbing, it only took a blink of an eye to pass a height of more than ten feet.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of light, and another black shadow fell on the city wall, climbing up at a very fast speed.
The camera zoomed in, and if you looked carefully, you could see a pair of gray eyes turning like wild beasts, and the pale face was distorted by excessive ferocity. The slightly swollen appearance, the rotten water flowing all over the body, and the dense spots on the face
The horrific black spots looked as if countless dead bodies had been soaked in the dark, stinking water.
Their hair is thin and damp, and their movements are not like humans, but more like reptiles. If you turn over their claws, you will find that their claws are completely eroded.
But this kind of erosion allows them to evolve weird, disgusting suckers on the soles of their hands and feet, and move forward by firmly adhering to the city wall.
"Roar!"
This monster, which looked both human and inhuman, lay on the city wall, growling lowly, shrinking its limbs inward, and then suddenly jumped out towards the top of the city. It flew past a distance of more than ten feet, and its movements were extremely agile.
"Buzz!"
There was a trembling sound from the bowstring, and at the next moment, a four-foot-long iron arrow flew across the space in an instant, and pierced the monster's forehead. The sharp arrow tip shot in from the forehead, and shot out from the back, carrying this monster with it.
The monster fell from the high city wall.
Whizzing!
Two arrows were shot in succession, each arrow piercing the Yangtze with a hundred steps. Before the two strange monsters climbed up to the top of the city, they fell down one after another and fell to the bottom of the city wall, motionless.
Several identical monsters saw the corpses of the same kind, sniffed them, looked up at the black shadow pulling strings on the city wall, let out a fearful roar, and then used their hands and feet to rush in the other direction.
The camera zoomed out and looked in the direction of the monster's leap. The gate of Langya County was opened, the horses neighed, and the heavily armed soldiers lined up in a neat queue, completely blocking the city gate.
Some people were using halberds and some were using knives, and they were cleaning up the battlefield. Around them, dozens of monster corpses were piled up, with broken arms scattered on the ground.
"Crack!"
Yang Xuanlan came from the main road with Bai Wuji, and crushed an evil ghost's head with one palm. Without its head, the underworld evil ghost struggled a few times, and then fell to the ground unwillingly.
Rushing back from the mountains outside the city, Yang Xuanlan saw this scene.
"how's it going?"
Yang Xuanlan raised his head, but his eyes were focused on the high-ranking captain brought over from the Taiyuan Palace on top of the city.
"Hey!——"
With a scream, the high-ranking captain on the city wall hung the bow string on his back, stretched out his hand to grab the talon of a giant eagle with a wingspan of more than two feet, drew a smooth arc in the void, and then released his palm,
It fell to the ground with a thud.
"It happened suddenly. At dawn, the city gate opened. Before anyone could see it, a group of evil ghosts from the underworld rushed in from the city gate. It caused quite a commotion. Fortunately, we responded in time and blocked it.
We sent troops to the city gate again. However, no major damage was caused."
The senior captain paused and then said:
"These ordinary evil spirits are easy to deal with. Although they have strong vitality and sharp claws, they are not a big threat. The key is another kind-"
The high-ranking captain suddenly pursed his lips and whistled. The next moment, a strong wind roared, and a giant eagle with iron wings more than two feet long had a fallen evil ghost corpse in its talons. It swung violently and fell with a snap.
In front of the two of them.
The senior captain took out a large piece of dried rabbit meat from the leather bag he carried with him, flicked it hard, and the giant eagle caught it in its beak and flew away with its wings.
"These are mutated evil spirits in the underworld. They are larger and move more quickly. Most importantly, in order to facilitate movement in the complex terrain of the underworld, they have evolved suckers on their hands and feet. They can climb directly on the city wall."
The senior captain drew out his sword and turned the mutated evil ghost over. The wrinkled, chrysanthemum-shaped sucker looked both terrifying and disgusting:
"When I got the news, I rushed to the wall for the first time and shot these mutant ghosts. Judging from the current situation, there should be only a small number of mutant ghosts climbing up, but I came out a little late after all, and
.Throughout the night, no one knew whether some of them had crawled into the city."
"I have arranged for the army to search the entire city to prevent riots and conflicts. In addition... I have asked the carrier pigeon to deliver the message to you."
The senior captain said that he didn't seem to be as afraid of Yang Xuanlan as others.
Yang Xuanlan frowned and remained silent.
He was not very concerned about the attitude of this high-ranking captain. He was originally a subordinate of King Taiyuan and was very capable. Princess Chaoyang forced her to come and arrange for him to assist him. It was normal not to obey him.
That's not what Yang Xuanlan is worried about now.
"Has the land in the northwest been expanded here..."
Yang Xuanlan looked in the northwest direction, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
These evil spirits are definitely not from the East China Sea and have to pass through many dimensions. There is only one way to reach the human world from the underworld, which is to enter through the underworld.
There is only one place in Langya County where such evil spirits can appear.
——Wanfenling.
Wanfenling is far away from Langya City. Yang Xuanlan never expected that these evil ghosts from the underworld could actually appear here!
"The inventory in the city will be carried out soon. General Wang Tai is already working on this matter. What I am worried about now is the surrounding villages..."
The high-ranking captain looked at Yang Xuanlan and said nothing further.
Yang Xuanlan knew clearly in his heart that there were evil ghosts from the underworld even in places as far away as Langya City from Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge, so one could imagine what the situation was like in other places.
The martial arts examination has just ended, but I am still the governor of Langya County. If there is a little problem at this time, or a large number of casualties, it will be a huge dereliction of duty in the official career, which will incur a huge blow.
This was also the reason why Yang Xuanlan gave up pursuing Yang Ji and hurried back.
Yang Ji ran away, and there would be a chance to make amends in the future. But if evil spirits from the underworld caused a large number of deaths in the surrounding villages, this would immediately be a huge stain.
"Immediately pass the order and all the troops will be dispatched!"
Yang Xuanlan looked to the northwest, a sharp light flashing across his eyes.
"Yes, sir!"
The high-ranking captain understood and quickly took the order and left.
"Hooves clatter!"
A moment later, the ground shook, and amidst the sound of horse hooves, thousands of soldiers riding fierce horses passed through the city gate like a tide and spread in all directions.
…………
A ball of yellow light traveled rapidly through the ground, surrounded by endless black shadows.
Yang Ji drove the boat and headed straight for Tieguan Mountain.
"Um?"
Suddenly, an indescribable feeling came over me, and there seemed to be a dark, evil, and disgusting smell around me.
In my ears, I heard a hoarse and unpleasant sound coming from the ground. It sounded like an animal but not an animal, and it seemed like a human but not a human being.
"What's this?"
Yang Ji frowned and a light flashed in his eyes.
He had never heard such a sound before. It was completely different from the roars of wild beasts, ferocious beasts or people in the mountains and forests, and it was also vaguely mixed with what sounded like human voices.
"it's wired."
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. With a thought, he suddenly changed direction and controlled the boat to rise to the ground. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
