After all, it was because of Ah Qing that Shuli softened her heart and told Bai Yifei the details.
Otherwise, if Bai Yifei leads the army and collides with the group of foreign generals, even if he can win in the end, he will lose many elites due to the hasty battle.
That's what Ying Zheng wants to see.
He didn't care at all about a weak Yue country with an army of less than 100,000.
Even if Bai Yifei regrets it in the future, he will swallow it as much as he wants, so as not to sting his mouth too much.
"Master, there are rumors that the ferocious beast Jīng appeared on the nearby battlefield." Qinghe brought the recent interesting rumors to Shuli who was sitting by the river.
There is still one day to go from Xinzheng, so we camp in the wild again and wait for a good night's rest before entering Xinzheng.
Originally, there was no need to pass through South Korea. It would be much faster if we could enter the country directly from Qin and Chu, and then go down the river.
However, after many disappointments, Shuli seemed calmer now that he was closer to hope.
At the same time, it was also a way to pass on a message to Bai Yifei.
"Li?" Shuli was a little confused.
The system then automatically displayed Lin's relevant information to Shuli.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records: Ten miles further east, there is Corpse Mountain, which contains many green jades and many beasts. The corpse water comes out of Yan, flows south and pours into Luoshui River, which contains many beautiful jade.
Lin is a ferocious beast from ancient times on Corpse Mountain, shaped like a giant deer with an ox tail.
It has two stomachs on the left and right, the left one is tangible and feeds on corpses, and the right one is invisible and has a halo, feeding on corpse spirits. One is yin and one is yang, one is real and the other is empty.
Lin must try to feed both of his stomachs at the same time so as not to starve to death. If either stomach is empty for too long, it will be life-threatening.
Shuli raised her eyebrows slightly.
She could not guarantee the authenticity of the ferocious beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Qinghe looked at Shuli quietly, wondering if he needed to send someone to find out its authenticity.
If it is true, it is an ancient ferocious beast, extremely rare, and it is not impossible to capture it and imprison it.
And because he had eaten corpses and drank corpse water for a long time, a large amount of corpse poison had accumulated in Qi's body. Only a mineral found on the corpse mountain could resolve this poison, and that was beryl.
After being eaten, beryl will grow on the intestinal wall. Each beast must eat at least one beryl every year, otherwise it will poison itself and die.
At the same time, beryl can not only detoxify the corpse poison accumulated in the body, but also detoxify all poisons in the world.
If one is really captured, then the beryl contained in its body can be used to remove the nameless poison from Lord Chang'an, thus rescuing him.
After pondering for a moment, Shu Li said, "Send someone to check. If they can't find it, just treat it as a rumor."
Qinghe nodded and then slowly stepped back.
Looking at the reflection on the river, Shuli lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
'In your ancient times, was there really such a mountain of corpses and the existence of Qin?'
Chi You, who had been silent since Qing He came over, couldn't help laughing when he heard Shu Li's question.
"How come thousands of years have passed, and this kind of story about coaxing children can still be circulated for so long? Little girl, you don't believe it, do you?"
'No.'
"Little girl, let me tell you, if Uncle Qi is still alive, maybe I can save your friend." Chi You wanted Shu Li to look at it more openly and not to be too persistent.
Shuli didn't respond.
This is her own business and no one else needs to take care of it.
night
Qinghe reported the investigation situation to Shuli.
"Master, according to [Qian Dagger]'s investigation, more than one corpse collector made it clear that they saw a huge black shadow with two horns flying quickly through the forest at night, and even stopped to observe them. When they approached,
Then he disappeared without a trace. When the situation was investigated during the day, only blood stains and body parts were found in the forest."
"So you conclude it's Lin?"
Qinghe continued to tell the evidence he found, "According to the corpse collector, every time a black shadow appears, it is accompanied by a hoarse and dull cry. It does not sound like a sound in the human world, but more like it comes from the Nine Netherworld.
"
"Impossible." Chi You suddenly said firmly, "Even if there are beasts, there is no way they can leave the mountain of corpses."
Beryl is a necessity for horses. In bad weather years, the beasts will eat each other. They will kill the defeated ones and dig out the precious beryl from their bellies to detoxify the toxins in their bodies.
.
For Lin, the mountain of corpses is like drinking poisonous wine to quench thirst. They can only feed on corpses and will not drink anything other than corpse water.
Leaving means death; staying means struggling to survive or even killing each other.
Corpse Mountain is more like a cage to Lin, it is Lin's Shawshank. Over time, it has become a "system" that has penetrated into his soul, making Lin both hate it and can't live without it.
Chi You's sudden words made Shu Li immediately suspicious.
Since Chi You said before that the legend of Lin was just a story to coax children, why did he now deny Lin's appearance in the outside world?
Of course Shuli knew the relationship between Lin and Shishan.
But in the end, the reason why Lin can't live without Corpse Mountain is because the beryl produced exclusively in Corpse Mountain can detoxify the corpse poison in Lin's body.
So is it possible that Youlin left the Corpse Mountain and came to the outside world to look for food, and would only return to the Corpse Mountain when he needed cangyu to detoxify him.
"Little girl, I know what you are thinking. But with the disappearance of spiritual energy in the world, it is impossible for all legendary creatures to survive, so give up this plan." Chi You advised.
Shu Li pondered for a moment and said to Qing He, "If it's true, catch it. If it's false, catch him too."
Qinghe understood what Shuli meant, nodded and exited the camp.
Chi You said no more.
daytime
The caravan didn't go far when they suddenly came across a small restaurant on the roadside. It only had a few wooden tables and a simple double-storey wooden house.
All the guards couldn't help but look wary.
There is no record of a liquor store on this road in the illustrated journal of the Merchant Alliance, so this is most likely a shady shop.
After receiving Qinghe's notice, Shuli lifted the car curtain and took a look.
It is indeed a small wine shop.
There was only one stooped man in a linen coat managing the whole store. Half of his right arm was exposed, but the entire left hand was covered by the sleeve. His feet seemed to be a little bent, and the hanging arm almost touched it.
ground.
According to the [Business Alliance] practice, if you encounter such a wine shop on the only way, you need to find out its dangers.
If it's a black shop, defeat them, then tell them not to mess with the [Business Alliance], or kill them directly.
If it is determined to be safe, mark it on the graphic log, and then make notes on the previous graphic log after returning to the city. After it is judged safe three times in a row, it will cooperate with it and update the graphic log.
Since there was no need to waste any time, Shuli also chose to stay.
She was also curious about how the suggestions she made to Lord Chang'an were implemented.
The five remaining guards held the hilts of their swords and escorted the caravan leader towards the wine shop.
When the restaurant saw someone coming, he opened his mouth and greeted him with a smile on his face.
He had already seen Shu Li and his convoy, but he didn't know what the situation in front of him was for.
Killing and stealing goods?
For his shabby wine shop, all the clothes put together may not be as valuable as other people's clothes.
Turning his eyes slightly, the restaurant owner glanced at another carriage parked in the distance, which was also the carriage Shuli was in.
Qinghe's sharp gaze made him look away in panic, and he was filled with doubts.
