Chapter 871 Who Laughs First
"There will be some differences between bloodstains that are quickly dried and those that are naturally air-dried. The blood on Li Po's name was quickly dried, which is why it has so many clots."
The man sneered, "I think the truth is that after Li Po used tricks to harm Elder Du and a group of experts, he was also seriously injured and unable to leave Qingyan Village in a short time. That's why he came up with the idea of blood-written characters on the stone tablet, wanting to scare us away."
"Does Li Po think he's Zhuge Liang? Unfortunately, I, Han Liangzhe, am not Sima Yi! Pass down the order, prepare to enter the village."
When I saw this, my heart couldn't help but thump.
Although Han Liangzhe's speculation was not entirely correct, it was not far off.
Once the Reincarnation Department enters the village, it won't be long before they find where we're hiding.
At that time, I'm afraid none of us will even have a chance to fight back.
I looked at Cang Tianji and said, "Can you repair the Plate of Fate?"
"No!" Cang Tianji shook his head slightly, "To repair the Plate of Fate, it would take at least three days. There's not enough time now. If they really come in, we can only gamble our lives."
As Cang Tianji spoke, Han Liangzhe had already approached the village entrance with a large number of people. The closer he got to the village entrance, the thicker the sneer on his face became, "Everyone says Li Po is as cunning as a fox, but I don't think he's anything special."
"Pass down the order..."
Before Han Liangzhe could say what order to pass down, ghostly wails suddenly rose from Qingyan Village.
Han Liangzhe's hand, which was raised in the air, didn't know whether to put it down or take it back, and he stood there with one hand raised, looking at Qingyan Village, which was filled with ghosts.
Soon, the ghosts of the Reincarnation Department disciples who had died in the village came out of the village one after another in three teams, gathered near the village entrance, and walked towards their former companions while crying.
The three ghosts at the head were Du Song, Lü Jiantong, and Cai Wenyang, covered in blood.
"Be careful! Be on guard!" A Reincarnation Department expert panicked, "Archers, get ready."
"What's the panic?" Han Liangzhe raised his hand and slapped the man, making him afraid to speak.
Han Liangzhe took a step back and stood among the archers, looking solemnly at the ghosts in the village.
The three ghosts at the head stopped within range of the crossbow bolts and stared intently at Han Liangzhe without saying a word. Before long, blood seeped from their eyes.
Cang Tianji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's blocked!"
"The Reincarnation Department has a clear order to do everything possible to preserve the souls of fallen disciples. They dare not destroy the souls."
"It won't hold!" I shook my head slightly, "Although I don't know who is helping me, he definitely can't fool that Han Liangzhe."
"Han Liangzhe is a very meticulous person. He is good at observing details, but that person has overlooked a detail."
I pointed to the water and said, "Look at the hands of those ghosts!"
Cang Tianji looked at the water and said, "Isn't it just tied with hemp rope! What's wrong with that?"
I said in a deep voice, "Since they are tied up, they shouldn't be walking outside the village, they should be walking inside. They're going the wrong way."
Although the ghost's left hand was empty by its side, their right wrists were all wrapped with ropes. From the front, it looked like they were tied together in a string.
Humans are tied with both hands, ghosts are tied with the right arm.
It means that when Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren escorts prisoners, they tie up both hands of the prisoners. When the underworld escorts ghosts on a large scale, they only tie up one hand.
Living people are tied with both hands to prevent the prisoners from rebelling and hurting the officials. Dead people are only tied with one hand to make it easier for them to take money from their bodies and bribe the little devils in the underworld.
The person who secretly helped them was right to only tie one hand, but the direction they were going was wrong.
Going outside the village means going to the road to the Yellow Springs. They have no ghost messengers around them, so who will guide them to the Yellow Springs?
Moreover, their walking on the road to the Yellow Springs means that there are no ghosts and gods in the village. Otherwise, how could the ghosts and gods occupying the village easily let go of their prey?
It was precisely because Han Liangzhe saw through this that he raised his hand fearlessly, "Crossbows ready!"
When Han Liangzhe raised his hand to the highest point, the three ghosts facing Han Liangzhe showed a sneer at the same time. The same strange and cold smile also appeared on Han Liangzhe's face.
His expression suddenly changed, "Did I just smile?"
The subordinate who had been slapped by him trembled, "You did!"
Han Liangzhe sternly said, "Did I smile first, or did they smile first?"
The man said timidly, "I...I didn't see clearly..."
"Pa—" Han Liangzhe slapped the other person's face, "Useless thing, no one move, everyone retreat, retreat—"
When I saw this, my right hand clenched into a fist involuntarily.
That person must have heard what I said and is trying to remedy the situation in time.
Whether or not he can fool Han Liangzhe depends on this one move.
As I watched the Reincarnation Department disciples retreating step by step while protecting each other, Han Liangzhe stopped again and subconsciously touched his face.
In the next moment, Han Liangzhe snatched a crossbow bolt, raised the crossbow with both hands, and pointed it at Du Song in front of him.
