Chapter 187 Candle Dragon Scale Armor 2
The sacrifice to heaven was interrupted, and landslides occurred on the first day of field hunting, which did not seem to be auspicious omens.
Because it rained and snowed at night, the mountain road was slippery the next day, and there was mud in the forest. It was inconvenient for King Xiang to go hunting in such weather, but they came to the hunting ground with such a large number of troops, and they had to wait for the prey from the field hunting to make food. King Xiang didn't go hunting, so naturally someone had to go hunting.
Hua Snake took some people out early in the morning and came back just before noon, but unexpectedly, the valley suddenly collapsed, and the team that entered the valley first disappeared in an instant.
The soldier was the team behind, watching the huge waves of mud and boulders rolling down from the mountain, rushing into the river embankment of the valley, and at the same time the river made a huge noise, just like the roaring of sea waves, followed by everything melted For nothing, the river was almost filled with mud and rocks, and a huge black smoke rose from the river, as if there were evil spirits.
The soldier hurried back to report, and when he left the valley, he could still hear a loud noise outside, as if another landslide had occurred.
In fact, the valley is already the periphery of the hunting ground, but because there was too much rain and snow yesterday, and there was too much mud in the woods, there was no valley suitable for horse racing, so the snake took people to the valley.
There is a lot of game in the valley, but there are no hunting officials in the valley to check regularly, but no one expected that there will be such a heavy rain and snow this year, and there will be a landslide.
A team was buried in the valley. This was not a trivial matter. Marquis Wan Ching ordered soldiers and horses to enter the valley to rescue them. He also entered the camp, changed into light clothes, and prepared to go into the valley to see.
King Xiang wanted to see it in person, and landslides occurred in the valley from time to time, so the queen mother naturally wanted to stop it, fearing that something might happen to King Xiang, but Wan Qi Jinghou insisted on going.
Wan Cheng Jinghou entered the camp without being waited on by others. He took off his cumbersome robe and put on a light one. He said to Wen Baiyu: "You can rest in the camp. I'll go out and have a look. If there's nothing wrong Be back soon."
Wen Baiyu saw him change his clothes in a hurry, then he took a saber and put it in his waist, and turned around to go out.
Wen Baiyu quickly followed and said, "I'll follow you."
Wan Cheng Jinghou saw that he was dressed in white and looked spotless. If he entered the valley like this, he would probably be dirty, but Wen Baiyu said it with certainty, not in a questioning tone, so he naturally followed.
Wan Cheng Jinghou didn't know why, but couldn't refute it, so he let Wen Baiyu follow him.
When the two came out of the camp, Wan Cheng Jinghou turned over and stepped on the horse. His movements were very crisp and quick, and he straddled his long legs. The posture was very sharp. After sitting on the horse's back, he stretched out his hand to hold the rein, looked down at Wen Baiyu, and said : "Can you ride a horse?"
Wen Baiyu looked at these tall horses with a little trepidation. He felt that he had never ridden a horse before, but he nodded reluctantly, grabbed the saddle and turned on the horse. The tall black horse formed a sharp contrast with Wen Baiyu's white clothes. He was so honest that he made Wen Baiyu sit still without moving.
This horse is a well-known fierce horse in the palace, but Wan Cheng Jinghou likes it very much. He thinks this horse has spirituality. So well-behaved, not bad at all.
The two got on their horses, followed by soldiers, and hurried towards the valley.
The soldiers who came back to report led the way first, and everyone rushed all the way into the valley. The meadow in the valley was grayish-yellow, somewhat withered, and covered with a layer of snow that would not melt.
To be precise, this is a river valley. Once entering the river valley, the sky becomes cloudy. This river valley does not seem to be an auspicious place, and there is a chilling yin around it.
The soldiers leading the way drove their horses at the front, and the horseshoes sounded "da da da" into the valley. The mountains on both sides were not too steep, but they were not too gentle, and there were signs of mud and rocks rolling down the hillside.
But the strange thing is that the water in this river is so clear that nothing seems to happen.
After they entered the valley, they were blocked by gravel, and several landslides occurred in the valley, and the outer area was also tightly blocked, as if trying to block their rescue.
The soldiers all got off their horses and began to move the stones to open a way to go in.
Because it was surrounded by stones and soil, it looked even more desolate and hazy, and the sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was going to rain again.
"Tick tock..."
"Tick-tock-"
Rainwater dripped down and landed on Wen Baiyu's nose. Wen Baiyu wiped it with his hand, looked up at the sky, and it was really raining again. The soldiers were still stepping up to clear the road, and they were moving very slowly. slow.
Someone yelled, "Okay!"
The people in front suddenly became restless, and they were so noisy that they didn't know what they were talking about. Wan Qi Jinghou frowned and drove his horse over.
It seemed that the dirt road had been cleared away, and a very narrow road appeared in front of it, a path that could allow a person to drive a horse in a single row. Through the path, they seemed to see a paradise.
Outside the path was a gloomy sky with pattering rain and snow, but inside the path was sunny without any rain, and the color of the meadow seemed to be turquoise, not grayish yellow.
Wen Baiyu also drove over, and looked inside suspiciously.
Wan Cheng Jinghou waved his hand, motioning for the soldiers to follow him into the valley.
The team started to set off again, and entered the valley in a single row in order. The valley was quiet, and only the sound of running water and a slight wind could be heard. As soon as they walked into the path, they saw the sun shining from above When I got down, there was a green color all around, as if it was not winter here, but spring.
There are no mudslides or landslides in the surrounding area. It is peaceful and there are no stones blocking the road. The river valleys on both sides are very open.
Wen Baiyu looked around suspiciously, felt that the feeling here was weird, but couldn't tell what it was like.
Seeing that he was a step behind, Wan Cheng Jinghou stopped his horse and waited for him, saying, "Follow closely, don't get lost."
Wen Baiyu hurriedly rushed forward, and walked in side by side with Wan Cheng Jinghou.
There is a lot of grass here, and it is all emerald green. The soldiers' horses start to graze with their heads down from time to time, as if they feel that the grass here is very sweet. The soldiers urged the horses to move forward, but the horses still graze with their heads down from time to time.
Wan Qi Jinghou and Wen Baiyu walked in front and walked for a long distance. They didn't see mudslides or landslides at all. The river water was very clear and there was no such thing as black smoke. They didn't know where Hua Snake and the others were.
The soldier leading the way walked straight forward, and everyone followed him, but the strange thing was that the soldier's figure stood on the horse and suddenly twisted.
For a moment, it distorted in front of everyone's eyes, as if there was fog, but the surrounding air was very clear and there was no fog at all. I don't know why this phenomenon happened.
Wen Baiyu rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was wrong, but the figure of the soldier began to distort again, twisted twice, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.
Wen Baiyu looked at the front in shock, there was no one at all, it was empty, only a few strange rocks were left in front, and the soldier was clearly standing in front of the strange rocks just now.
Wan Cheng Jinghou squinted his eyes, as if he had also seen the shocking scene just now, he immediately got off his horse and said to Wen Baiyu, "Wait for me where you are."
Wen Baiyu felt that this sentence was very familiar. It seemed that Wan Cheng Jinghou had said it to him countless times, and some memories seemed to be loosening.
While Wen Baiyu was in a daze, Wan Cheng Jinghou had already walked over slowly, and when he got near those strange stones, his figure distorted for a moment of "shua--".
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened, "Shua!" Another time, the figure in black clothes suddenly appeared, and then twisted suddenly, in front of him, the third twist, suddenly disappeared!
Wen Baiyu burst into cold sweat on his back, and immediately urged the horse to go. The big black horse ran forward suddenly, and passed the strange rocks naturally. Nothing happened, but there were no soldiers and Wancheng Jinghou in front at all. shadow.
Wen Baiyu was a little strange and turned his horse's head.
However, what is even more strange is that there is no one behind him...
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a tightness in his back, this is really a hell of a sunny day!
In the empty valley, he was the only one left, Wen Baiyu was sitting on the horse, surrounded by an empty space, no one was there, there was no Wan Qi Jinghou in front, and even the large number of soldiers behind him were gone.
He was alone.
Wen Baiyu looked around in shock, always feeling a little unusual, he got on guard, stretched out his hand to touch his body, and seemed to be looking for something again, like a dagger, but still found nothing.
Wen Baiyu looked at his empty palm, wondering why he subconsciously searched for a dagger twice.
What dagger?
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand subconsciously, and touched the shoulder of his left arm. From there, there was a long scar...
Wen Baiyu drove his horse around several times, but saw nothing, no human habitation at all, only valleys and rivers remained.
Wen Baiyu discovered a strange thing, that is, his black horse does not eat the grass here, nor does it drink the water in the river. This place is full of green grass, and there are plenty of water sources, but there is no animal except him. This black horse seems to be unable to fly even a bird.
The clear river water is bottomless, so green and clear, there is not a single fish in it?
Wen Baiyu got off his horse, walked to the river, pulled up the hem of his white clothes, pinned it to his belt, then squatted down and reached out to drink a handful of river water.
The river water is very cool, with a bit of refreshing, greenish blue, it looks very attractive.
Wen Baiyu looked at the river, and the black horse next to him suddenly came over, offered his head for his hand, and pushed all the river water out of his palm, as if he didn't want him to drink the water here.
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to stroke the fur of the black horse, and the black horse was still hugging him, as if it really had spirituality.
At this moment, there was a voice, it seemed that more than a dozen people were talking.
"What the hell, we've been walking here all morning, and it's already noon, old ghost, does your map care?!"
"Be in charge, be in charge!"
"What the hell, we've been walking around all morning. Apart from grass, we can't even see an egg! Is the stockade you're talking about in your mother's belly!"
"Also, there is only the sound of water, but we can't see the water. We are all fucking thirsty."
"Look!!"
Someone shouted: "There's water ahead! There's a river! It's that river!"
At first, Wen Baiyu only heard voices, but after the last person yelled, he saw several people running quickly from the hillside in front, running straight towards the river behind him.
There were men and women among those people, and each of them carried a big basket on their backs. It was covered with a cloth to see what was in the basket, but it must be very heavy.
Those people were all dusty, they rushed over quickly, they were stunned when they saw Wen Baiyu, and looked him up and down at his attire.
Then he withdrew his gaze, rushed to the river, scooped up the river water and stuffed it into his mouth quickly, making a splashing sound, drinking very loudly.
Wen Baiyu took the rein of the horse and secretly looked at those people.
There were five people in total, the oldest one had a dark scarred face and looked very fierce, and there was a woman who looked very young and beautiful, but Wen Baiyu noticed that although her hands were thin and white, they were not There are many cocoons on it, and they are not cocoons for rough work.
The other one looked very obscene, with a deer head, mouse eyes, and monkey cheeks. When Wen Baiyu was looking at him, he was secretly looking at Wen Baiyu with his eyes.
One of them looked indifferent, squatting by the river, but he didn't drink water and was shaking his wrist.
Wen Baiyu noticed that his wrist was actually made of metal. He didn't seem to have a right hand. The whole right hand was made of metal, and the fingertips were very sharp, which looked scary at first glance.
The remaining one seemed to be the youngest, handsome in appearance, but a bit glib, took out a bamboo kettle from the bamboo basket, poured some water into it from the river, handed it to the indifferent person courteously, and said with a smile: "Master, drink some water, this water is sweet."
The indifferent man frowned, blocked the opponent's hand, and said, "Don't drink."
The man smiled and said, "We've been walking for a whole morning. Master doesn't drink a drop of water. My disciples have called you. Let's drink some?"
The indifferent man had a straight face, his lips were very thin, and he looked very difficult to speak, and said coldly, "I'm not thirsty."
The woman smiled and said, "Come here, Xiaoqiuer, my sister is thirsty, can you give me something to drink?"
The handsome boy stood up and sent the water over. The woman wiped his face with a smile and said, "My sister likes you like this. You are so tender. Tonight..."
As she spoke, her voice was very low, and the indifferent man gave the woman a cold look.
The handsome young man smiled and said, "Aunt Xiang, what a coincidence, I like young ones too."
The woman named Aunt Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and her face suddenly became angry, saying: "Damn boy, do you want to be beaten!"
The handsome young man quickly walked around behind the indifferent man and said, "Master, that old woman is going to beat me."
"All right!"
Scarface spoke suddenly, and said, "Old ghost, go and ask that man if his horse is for sale."
The wretched-looking man looked like a charlatan, he nodded immediately and ran towards Wen Baiyu.
When Wen Baiyu saw him coming, the man smiled and said, "Little brother, do you want to sell this horse?"
Wen Baiyu glanced at the dark horse beside him, he was not familiar with the place here, so naturally it was impossible to sell his horse.
Wen Baiyu said, "Sorry, I still use it myself."
The wretched-looking man had no choice but to come back, poking his head out and said, "That kid won't sell, what should I do?"
The woman sneered and said, "That's not easy. If you walk around this place for a day, you won't see a single person. Let's just kill him."
The wretched-looking person said: "Don't, look at him, he looks thin and tender, I really can't bear it, why don't we talk about it after having fun."
The indifferent man didn't speak all the time, he just frowned and moved his wrist. His fingers made a "click-click-" sound, which sounded creepy.
Scarface said: "Maybe this person lives nearby, don't hurt anyone first, let's ask the way."
A few of them were discussing, and Wen Baiyu looked them over again. The packages of these people were very heavy, and some bamboo baskets had a piece standing up inside, which seemed to be something like a shovel or a hoe.
But judging by their looks, they are all Lianjiazi, not like farmers, they also have calluses on their hands, and their scarred faces look like Jianghu people, let alone the indifferent man, naturally it cannot be a farmer up.
Wen Baiyu felt that they were probably people who washed the sand.
Seeing Wen Baiyu's appearance, these people thought he was harmless, but they didn't expect that Wen Baiyu's ears were so good that he could hear their words clearly.
Before those people came over, Wen Baiyu had already walked over by himself, and said: "I'm sorry, I want to find out the way. I was hunting with someone nearby, and I accidentally got separated. I don't know the way back. I want to ask Ask a few."
Those people all looked at each other in blank dismay, but unexpectedly they were asked the way first.
There was a killing intent on Scarface's face, the wretched man was full of pity, Scarface clenched his teeth, and was about to raise his hand to attack Wen Baiyu, when the indifferent man suddenly raised his hand, the metal hand unexpectedly The movement is very flexible, and it is pressed on Scarface's shoulders.
Scarface's shoulders trembled under his pressure, and immediately collapsed, which shows that the indifferent man has a lot of strength.
The indifferent man said softly, "Be safe and don't be impatient."
The boy smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we got lost too."
The woman said: "Little brother, sell your horse to us. You see we have so much luggage, and we are very tired on our shoulders."
Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "This is a friend's horse. I am separated from him now. It is not good to sell it myself. How about this? We are all separated anyway, so how about going on the road together? My horse can be borrowed." Carry your luggage for you."
Those people started to look at each other again, and then looked at Scarface. It seemed that he was the boss. Scarface thought for a while and nodded.
The woman tugged at the scarred face, turned her head and said in a low voice, "I said, what are you thinking, we are here to find the village to wash the sand this time, you let this little boy join in, how can we wash the sand?"
Scarface said: "Promise first, and when we find the stockade, we will kill him together."
The wretched man came over at some point and said, "Old Dao is right, he is right, let's take him first, hehehe, you didn't see that he is really handsome."
The three reached a consensus, and Scarface turned to the indifferent man and said, "What do you think, Brother Tang?"
The indifferent man didn't speak, nor nodded. The rest of the people seemed to be familiar with his style of acting and speaking, which seemed to be tacit approval.
The wretched man smiled and said to Wen Baiyu: "Little brother, our boss agreed, we can go on the road together, little brother, what's your name?"
Before Wan Qi Jinghou had already announced to Xiangguo that the national teacher was the divine bird Phoenix named Baiyu, Wen Baiyu felt that it was not good to tell them so, so a flash of inspiration came to his mind and said, "My surname is Wen."
The wretched man rubbed his palms and said with a smile, "Oh, brother Wen's surname is just right. He lives up to his name. It's so nice. My name is..."
Before he finished speaking, the young man squeezed over and said with a smile: "Look at his obscene face, we call him an old ghost."
The old ghost glared at the kid, but because the kid's master was very powerful, he didn't say anything.
The boy said, "My name is Mu Qiu, and this is my master."
The young man pointed at the indifferent man, and the indifferent man raised his right hand and pushed the young man's fingers away in displeasure.
Mu Qiu didn't mind either, and said, "My master's surname is Tang, and his name is Tang Wuyong."
Mu Qiu pointed at the woman again, and said, "You can call her Aunt Xiang or Aunt Xiang!"
The woman immediately became furious and said, "You little bastard, my mother killed you!"
The woman looked at Wen Baiyu, obviously Wen Baiyu was not his type, and said, "My name is Xiangxiang."
Wen Baiyu: "..."
Wen Baiyu was really powerless to complain about this name.
Finally, there is the scarred face, just call him Laodao.
In this team, Scarface is obviously paid, and the others seem to be partners. Mu Qiu talks a lot, and seems to be a bit chatty, chatting around several other people, and constantly provoking.
The old ghost's eyes were always glued to Wen Baiyu's body, while the woman's eyes were glued to Tang Wuyong's body.
Everyone started to set off again. There was a leather map in Scarface's hand, which looked very old. They seemed to be looking for an old village.
This valley is right next to the hunting ground, how could there be any old stockade?
They put their luggage on the back of the black horse, and everyone walked along the river. Wen Baiyu felt it was too strange. The direction they were walking was obviously the direction Wen Baiyu came from.
Wen Baiyu walked forward for a total of ten steps, but when he walked back, he walked for a whole afternoon and couldn't see anything, as if the road had no end, and the river valley continued to extend, as if a ghost hit a wall.
Everyone kept walking, exhausted from walking, the young man sat on the ground slumped, he looked like a young man, his physical strength was not as good as the others, his head was sweating from exhaustion, he seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, and said: "Don't go, I am exhausted!"
Tang Wuyong just looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "Go back."
Mu Qiu immediately jumped up from the ground, stretched out his hand to hang around Tang Wuyong's neck, and said: "Master, master, this disciple is wrong, disciple is not tired, he can still go."
Tang Wuyong gave him a cold look, stretched out his hand to push him away, Mu Qiu stood on the ground shaking, the old ghost came to help him with a smile, and said maliciously: "Xiao Qiu, I will carry you."
Mu Qiu immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's too ugly!"
Old ghost: "..."
Wen Baiyu: "..."
Scarface looked at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, I'm sure we won't be able to find it today, maybe we're lost again, everyone, look around and find some branches to light a fire, we'll camp here."
Everyone nodded and prepared to look around. Mu Qiu wanted to follow Tang Wuyong, but Tang Wuyong threw Mu Qiu to the ground with a slight wave of his hand.
Mu Qiu got up and wanted to catch up again, Tang Wuyong turned his head and said coldly: "Aren't you tired, sit where you are and look at your luggage."
Mu Qiu immediately beamed with joy, and said with a smile: "Master is so kind, Master is so considerate, Master treats me the best!"
Tang Wuyong frowned and said, "Shut up."
He said, and walked forward without looking back.
Everyone else was looking for things, while Mu Qiu and Wen Baiyu stayed to look at their luggage.
Mu Qiu opened the bamboo basket, and there were indeed shovels and knives inside. Their knives were all wrapped in cloth, as if they didn't want people to find out, there was still a lot of dry food and several jars of wine inside.
Mu Qiu took out the tent inside and said to Wen Baiyu, "Can you set up a tent? Help me."
Wen Baiyu walked over, he felt that setting up a tent should be a very strange thing, but he didn't know why, he set it up more neatly than Mu Qiu, it seemed that he always did this kind of thing before, but why he would set up a tent, he seemed a little unable to remember up.
Wen Baiyu was thinking hard while setting up the tent, and he didn't know why, but he thought of Wanqi Jinghou from setting up the tent. He set up a tent, but Wen Baiyu felt that he must have seen Wan Qi Jinghou set up a tent, but he didn't know when he saw it.
Seeing him in a daze, Mu Qiu originally wanted to startle him, but just as he walked over, he suddenly heard three sounds of "嗖—嗖——嗖—", which seemed to be birdsong.
Wen Baiyu was awakened instantly, and looked towards the direction of the horizon.
Mu Qiu's expression also changed suddenly. At this time, the old ghost came from a distance with some trees in his arms, just in time to hear the voice, his expression also changed, and said, "Is this a signal from your master?"
Mu Qiu said: "Yes, Master told us to go quickly, there must be something discovered."
As Mu Qiu said, he quickly packed the luggage on the ground, and the others also dropped the firewood. Scarface and Sister Xiang also heard the sound, and ran over quickly, and everyone chased after the sound.
The sky had already darkened, and there was a faint crescent moon rising in the sky. Wen Baiyu and the group of people followed the direction of the sound and walked forward. There was a black hole in front of them.
They climbed up the slope, the mountain was very high, and then they saw a canyon, and there was a hillside on the opposite side of the canyon. The strange thing was that there was a vine connecting the two hillsides separated by the canyon!
The canyon is bottomless, and it seems that there is still the sound of rushing water below, and a thin vine in the middle of the hillside seems to cut through the night.
The voice came from the opposite side, "嗖——" there was another sound.
Mu Qiu immediately said: "No, no, Master is angry, he is urging us."
As he said, he squatted down, opened the bamboo basket, and took out a few metal things from it, which looked like hooks.
It should be a shuttle, hooked on the rattan can slide to the opposite side.
Wen Baiyu also stuffed one in his hand, Mu Qiu was the first to rush up, hung the shuttle on the cane, then moved his body forward, and there was a sound of "嗖——", Mu Qiu's small body Suddenly gliding in the darkness, disappeared into the darkness like the wind.
Wen Baiyu was playing with this kind of thing for the first time, he seemed a little nervous, grabbed the shuttle with all his might, imitated Mu Qiu, and jumped forward suddenly, he felt that this thing was too difficult to use, far worse than his own wings Yes, at the same time as he moved forward, he suddenly felt that his abdomen was being stretched, and there was a strange pain in his abdomen, and Wen Baiyu almost let go of the pain.
The distance between the two mountains was not far, Wen Baiyu rushed over with the shuttle, and fell to the ground suddenly, and Mu Qiu yelled "Ah!"
The voice was very loud, echoing in the empty night, the shout seemed to attract a black shadow, the black shadow leaped up in the dark night, and suddenly landed in front of them, it turned out to be Tang Wuyong.
Mu Qiu hurriedly got up from the ground, got up and fell to the ground again, in front of him were several heads, several heads!
No wonder Mu Qiu yelled suddenly, Mu Qiu was the first to rush over, and on the opposite hillside, there were actually several human heads. The human heads were right next to the rattan. Those heads were all tattered and bitten. look.
After Mu Qiu rowed over, he bumped into the heads of those people, so scared that he immediately yelled out.
Seeing his clumsiness, Tang Wuyong reached out and pulled him up. Mu Qiu immediately hugged his neck, like a child, climbed up with both hands and feet, with his legs wrapped around his waist, and shouted: "Master has many head!"
Tang Wuyong snorted, seemed to laugh for a moment, and said, "I only have one head."
Mu Qiu was so frightened that he was about to cry, probably because he was too young, he was still a teenager, and despite his usually talkative and courageous appearance, but now his eyes were red, and he said tremblingly: "Master! There is something on the ground!" So many brains!"
The three people behind also followed, seeing the head on the ground, as if they saw cabbage, their expressions remained unchanged.
Sister Xiang giggled and said, "Hey, little tender melon, why are you crying? Let my sister see, tsk tsk, do you cry when you are a grasshopper? My sister is really heartbroken. How about it, today Playing with my sister at night? Guaranteed to make you cry."
Mu Qiu stared, looked at Sister Xiang viciously, and said, "Hey, don't worry, I won't cheat on you even if I cheat on my master!"
Mu Qiu was talking about playing, but suddenly he let out an "Ouch", Tang Wuyong fell to the ground, and fell a big buttock, which happened to land on those rotten heads, and immediately let out a "ho -" sound.
Mu Qiu quickly got up, chased after Tang Wuyong and said, "Master, Master, I'm just making an analogy."
Tang Wuyong stared and said, "Shut up."
Mu Qiu quickly shut his mouth, and the others followed them inside.
After passing the hillside, there is really a stockade in front of it!
Wen Baiyu observed this place carefully. It was a very quaint village. The gate of the village was made of rattan. It looked very old, and there were signs of breakage in many places.
The night was quiet, only the sound of water could be heard, the stockade in front was very tall, but there was no sound inside.
It stands to reason that it is just dark now, even if it is sunset, it is impossible to go to bed so soon, and it is impossible for such a big village to be silent.
Several people were very happy, and Sister Xiang said, "We really found it!"
Tang Wuyong said coldly: "While waiting for you, I went in and looked at it just now, and there was no one inside."
"what?!"
Several other people seemed to say this sentence at the same time, as if they were very surprised.
Wen Baiyu became more and more curious, what exactly were they looking for?
Scarface said, "Could it be that the person who sold us the map was a fraud?"
The old ghost said: "This is impossible! Let's go in and have a look first."
A few people walked in the direction of Wang Zhaizi, and they found that the village was surrounded by river water, with water in all directions, and the village was built in the middle.
There are two watchtowers at the gate of the village. This place is very learned, like a military camp, but there is no one on the watchtowers.
Mu Qiu said: "Let's go up to the sentry tower to have a look. It's high and we can see clearly."
Everyone went to the sentry tower. They climbed the sentry tower, because there were too many people, and there was only a distance to turn around, so they couldn't move away.
Wen Baiyu stood on the spot and looked around. The sentry tower was very high and he could see very clearly. He looked at the surrounding terrain and wanted to see if he could find the figure of Wancheng Jinghou, but unfortunately, he didn't see it. any figure.
Wen Baiyu didn't focus on the inside of the stockade, but outside the stockade.
Wen Baiyu found that this village was very strange, he was surrounded by river water, and outside the river water was surrounded by a circle of small hills.
Wen Baiyu counted, there are... twelve small buns in total.
Around the stockade, there are twelve small hills.
twelve……
There was a buzzing in Wen Baiyu's mind, he didn't know why, a scene suddenly flashed before his eyes, a place full of ice, a pool of water surrounded by twelve round piers, he suddenly fell from a high altitude, in case Hou Jinghou rushed over suddenly, hugged himself, and then the two of them fell into the pool together...
Wen Baiyu felt that this scene was very familiar, as if he had experienced it himself, and his memory was very clear, but he couldn't remember when it happened.
Wen Baiyu stared blankly at the side until Mu Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, are you asleep? Let's go!"
Only then did Wen Baiyu come to his senses, those people had already climbed down the sentry tower, Wen Baiyu quickly followed.
Sister Xiang said: "It's really fucking bad luck, what's going on, there's no one in the village?"
The old ghost said: "Isn't it okay that there is no one? Anyway, we are not looking for people, but their graves."
The old ghost said and laughed.
Wen Baiyu seemed to find that they didn't shy away from being a stranger at all when they said these words. It seemed that they were determined to kill him. So far, if they kept him, they probably wanted to use him as a wayfinder.
Scarface said: "Although this is the case, be careful of deceit."
He said, and then said: "In order to save time, let's search separately, and blow the whistle if there is a situation."
Although in order to save time, safety must also be considered. In the end, everyone was divided into three groups, and two groups began to search around.
The old ghost immediately proposed to be a group with Wen Baiyu, but Wen Baiyu had no objection, but the old ghost's eyes were always naked, which made Wen Baiyu uncomfortable, but it could be ignored.
The old ghost graciously led Wen Baiyu to the north, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, you must be tired, it's been a long way."
Wen Baiyu said: "It's okay, not too tired."
The old ghost graciously held out the bamboo water bottle and said, "Brother Wen, would you like some water?"
Wen Baiyu knew that they got their water from that river, and the black horse didn't let him have the river water before. He didn't know what the river water was, so Wen Baiyu waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty yet."
The old ghost is very thirsty, not because he is thirsty because of activities, but because he feels thirsty when he sees Wen Baiyu, he drinks the water with a smile, as if he regards the water as Wen Baiyu's wretch, and he feels good after drinking it sound.
Wen Baiyu's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he began to regret being in the same group as him.
They have been walking in the direction of due north, and there are no people on the way, but there are many houses around them, all of which are made of crushed stones. They look very simple. They are not so much houses as caves. Very similar to the cave, it seems that an uncivilized ancient tribe lives here.
There are rattan armor and other things around, and there are defensive measures, but the strange thing is that these rattan armors are covered with dust, and the degree of dust is very large.
The old ghost looked at the ashes with the eyes of a ghost, and said: "There is a ghost here, it seems that no one has lived here for a long time."
Wen Baiyu could also see this.
They turned around, revealing an ancient atmosphere everywhere, it seems that this place has been deserted for a long time.
The grass around the house began to grow wildly, and some had already covered the house.
The old ghost felt a little unlucky, so he took out the leather map and looked at it, Wen Baiyu noticed it, there was a village drawn on the leather, and there were twelve hillsides around the village, exactly the same as what he saw just now.
The second half of the stockade is circled by cinnabar, and there seems to be some point there.
While the old ghost was looking at the map, Wen Baiyu suddenly heard "Sand
Because it rained and snowed at night, the mountain road was slippery the next day, and there was mud in the forest. It was inconvenient for King Xiang to go hunting in such weather, but they came to the hunting ground with such a large number of troops, and they had to wait for the prey from the field hunting to make food. King Xiang didn't go hunting, so naturally someone had to go hunting.
Hua Snake took some people out early in the morning and came back just before noon, but unexpectedly, the valley suddenly collapsed, and the team that entered the valley first disappeared in an instant.
The soldier was the team behind, watching the huge waves of mud and boulders rolling down from the mountain, rushing into the river embankment of the valley, and at the same time the river made a huge noise, just like the roaring of sea waves, followed by everything melted For nothing, the river was almost filled with mud and rocks, and a huge black smoke rose from the river, as if there were evil spirits.
The soldier hurried back to report, and when he left the valley, he could still hear a loud noise outside, as if another landslide had occurred.
In fact, the valley is already the periphery of the hunting ground, but because there was too much rain and snow yesterday, and there was too much mud in the woods, there was no valley suitable for horse racing, so the snake took people to the valley.
There is a lot of game in the valley, but there are no hunting officials in the valley to check regularly, but no one expected that there will be such a heavy rain and snow this year, and there will be a landslide.
A team was buried in the valley. This was not a trivial matter. Marquis Wan Ching ordered soldiers and horses to enter the valley to rescue them. He also entered the camp, changed into light clothes, and prepared to go into the valley to see.
King Xiang wanted to see it in person, and landslides occurred in the valley from time to time, so the queen mother naturally wanted to stop it, fearing that something might happen to King Xiang, but Wan Qi Jinghou insisted on going.
Wan Cheng Jinghou entered the camp without being waited on by others. He took off his cumbersome robe and put on a light one. He said to Wen Baiyu: "You can rest in the camp. I'll go out and have a look. If there's nothing wrong Be back soon."
Wen Baiyu saw him change his clothes in a hurry, then he took a saber and put it in his waist, and turned around to go out.
Wen Baiyu quickly followed and said, "I'll follow you."
Wan Cheng Jinghou saw that he was dressed in white and looked spotless. If he entered the valley like this, he would probably be dirty, but Wen Baiyu said it with certainty, not in a questioning tone, so he naturally followed.
Wan Cheng Jinghou didn't know why, but couldn't refute it, so he let Wen Baiyu follow him.
When the two came out of the camp, Wan Cheng Jinghou turned over and stepped on the horse. His movements were very crisp and quick, and he straddled his long legs. The posture was very sharp. After sitting on the horse's back, he stretched out his hand to hold the rein, looked down at Wen Baiyu, and said : "Can you ride a horse?"
Wen Baiyu looked at these tall horses with a little trepidation. He felt that he had never ridden a horse before, but he nodded reluctantly, grabbed the saddle and turned on the horse. The tall black horse formed a sharp contrast with Wen Baiyu's white clothes. He was so honest that he made Wen Baiyu sit still without moving.
This horse is a well-known fierce horse in the palace, but Wan Cheng Jinghou likes it very much. He thinks this horse has spirituality. So well-behaved, not bad at all.
The two got on their horses, followed by soldiers, and hurried towards the valley.
The soldiers who came back to report led the way first, and everyone rushed all the way into the valley. The meadow in the valley was grayish-yellow, somewhat withered, and covered with a layer of snow that would not melt.
To be precise, this is a river valley. Once entering the river valley, the sky becomes cloudy. This river valley does not seem to be an auspicious place, and there is a chilling yin around it.
The soldiers leading the way drove their horses at the front, and the horseshoes sounded "da da da" into the valley. The mountains on both sides were not too steep, but they were not too gentle, and there were signs of mud and rocks rolling down the hillside.
But the strange thing is that the water in this river is so clear that nothing seems to happen.
After they entered the valley, they were blocked by gravel, and several landslides occurred in the valley, and the outer area was also tightly blocked, as if trying to block their rescue.
The soldiers all got off their horses and began to move the stones to open a way to go in.
Because it was surrounded by stones and soil, it looked even more desolate and hazy, and the sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was going to rain again.
"Tick tock..."
"Tick-tock-"
Rainwater dripped down and landed on Wen Baiyu's nose. Wen Baiyu wiped it with his hand, looked up at the sky, and it was really raining again. The soldiers were still stepping up to clear the road, and they were moving very slowly. slow.
Someone yelled, "Okay!"
The people in front suddenly became restless, and they were so noisy that they didn't know what they were talking about. Wan Qi Jinghou frowned and drove his horse over.
It seemed that the dirt road had been cleared away, and a very narrow road appeared in front of it, a path that could allow a person to drive a horse in a single row. Through the path, they seemed to see a paradise.
Outside the path was a gloomy sky with pattering rain and snow, but inside the path was sunny without any rain, and the color of the meadow seemed to be turquoise, not grayish yellow.
Wen Baiyu also drove over, and looked inside suspiciously.
Wan Cheng Jinghou waved his hand, motioning for the soldiers to follow him into the valley.
The team started to set off again, and entered the valley in a single row in order. The valley was quiet, and only the sound of running water and a slight wind could be heard. As soon as they walked into the path, they saw the sun shining from above When I got down, there was a green color all around, as if it was not winter here, but spring.
There are no mudslides or landslides in the surrounding area. It is peaceful and there are no stones blocking the road. The river valleys on both sides are very open.
Wen Baiyu looked around suspiciously, felt that the feeling here was weird, but couldn't tell what it was like.
Seeing that he was a step behind, Wan Cheng Jinghou stopped his horse and waited for him, saying, "Follow closely, don't get lost."
Wen Baiyu hurriedly rushed forward, and walked in side by side with Wan Cheng Jinghou.
There is a lot of grass here, and it is all emerald green. The soldiers' horses start to graze with their heads down from time to time, as if they feel that the grass here is very sweet. The soldiers urged the horses to move forward, but the horses still graze with their heads down from time to time.
Wan Qi Jinghou and Wen Baiyu walked in front and walked for a long distance. They didn't see mudslides or landslides at all. The river water was very clear and there was no such thing as black smoke. They didn't know where Hua Snake and the others were.
The soldier leading the way walked straight forward, and everyone followed him, but the strange thing was that the soldier's figure stood on the horse and suddenly twisted.
For a moment, it distorted in front of everyone's eyes, as if there was fog, but the surrounding air was very clear and there was no fog at all. I don't know why this phenomenon happened.
Wen Baiyu rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was wrong, but the figure of the soldier began to distort again, twisted twice, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.
Wen Baiyu looked at the front in shock, there was no one at all, it was empty, only a few strange rocks were left in front, and the soldier was clearly standing in front of the strange rocks just now.
Wan Cheng Jinghou squinted his eyes, as if he had also seen the shocking scene just now, he immediately got off his horse and said to Wen Baiyu, "Wait for me where you are."
Wen Baiyu felt that this sentence was very familiar. It seemed that Wan Cheng Jinghou had said it to him countless times, and some memories seemed to be loosening.
While Wen Baiyu was in a daze, Wan Cheng Jinghou had already walked over slowly, and when he got near those strange stones, his figure distorted for a moment of "shua--".
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened, "Shua!" Another time, the figure in black clothes suddenly appeared, and then twisted suddenly, in front of him, the third twist, suddenly disappeared!
Wen Baiyu burst into cold sweat on his back, and immediately urged the horse to go. The big black horse ran forward suddenly, and passed the strange rocks naturally. Nothing happened, but there were no soldiers and Wancheng Jinghou in front at all. shadow.
Wen Baiyu was a little strange and turned his horse's head.
However, what is even more strange is that there is no one behind him...
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a tightness in his back, this is really a hell of a sunny day!
In the empty valley, he was the only one left, Wen Baiyu was sitting on the horse, surrounded by an empty space, no one was there, there was no Wan Qi Jinghou in front, and even the large number of soldiers behind him were gone.
He was alone.
Wen Baiyu looked around in shock, always feeling a little unusual, he got on guard, stretched out his hand to touch his body, and seemed to be looking for something again, like a dagger, but still found nothing.
Wen Baiyu looked at his empty palm, wondering why he subconsciously searched for a dagger twice.
What dagger?
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand subconsciously, and touched the shoulder of his left arm. From there, there was a long scar...
Wen Baiyu drove his horse around several times, but saw nothing, no human habitation at all, only valleys and rivers remained.
Wen Baiyu discovered a strange thing, that is, his black horse does not eat the grass here, nor does it drink the water in the river. This place is full of green grass, and there are plenty of water sources, but there is no animal except him. This black horse seems to be unable to fly even a bird.
The clear river water is bottomless, so green and clear, there is not a single fish in it?
Wen Baiyu got off his horse, walked to the river, pulled up the hem of his white clothes, pinned it to his belt, then squatted down and reached out to drink a handful of river water.
The river water is very cool, with a bit of refreshing, greenish blue, it looks very attractive.
Wen Baiyu looked at the river, and the black horse next to him suddenly came over, offered his head for his hand, and pushed all the river water out of his palm, as if he didn't want him to drink the water here.
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to stroke the fur of the black horse, and the black horse was still hugging him, as if it really had spirituality.
At this moment, there was a voice, it seemed that more than a dozen people were talking.
"What the hell, we've been walking here all morning, and it's already noon, old ghost, does your map care?!"
"Be in charge, be in charge!"
"What the hell, we've been walking around all morning. Apart from grass, we can't even see an egg! Is the stockade you're talking about in your mother's belly!"
"Also, there is only the sound of water, but we can't see the water. We are all fucking thirsty."
"Look!!"
Someone shouted: "There's water ahead! There's a river! It's that river!"
At first, Wen Baiyu only heard voices, but after the last person yelled, he saw several people running quickly from the hillside in front, running straight towards the river behind him.
There were men and women among those people, and each of them carried a big basket on their backs. It was covered with a cloth to see what was in the basket, but it must be very heavy.
Those people were all dusty, they rushed over quickly, they were stunned when they saw Wen Baiyu, and looked him up and down at his attire.
Then he withdrew his gaze, rushed to the river, scooped up the river water and stuffed it into his mouth quickly, making a splashing sound, drinking very loudly.
Wen Baiyu took the rein of the horse and secretly looked at those people.
There were five people in total, the oldest one had a dark scarred face and looked very fierce, and there was a woman who looked very young and beautiful, but Wen Baiyu noticed that although her hands were thin and white, they were not There are many cocoons on it, and they are not cocoons for rough work.
The other one looked very obscene, with a deer head, mouse eyes, and monkey cheeks. When Wen Baiyu was looking at him, he was secretly looking at Wen Baiyu with his eyes.
One of them looked indifferent, squatting by the river, but he didn't drink water and was shaking his wrist.
Wen Baiyu noticed that his wrist was actually made of metal. He didn't seem to have a right hand. The whole right hand was made of metal, and the fingertips were very sharp, which looked scary at first glance.
The remaining one seemed to be the youngest, handsome in appearance, but a bit glib, took out a bamboo kettle from the bamboo basket, poured some water into it from the river, handed it to the indifferent person courteously, and said with a smile: "Master, drink some water, this water is sweet."
The indifferent man frowned, blocked the opponent's hand, and said, "Don't drink."
The man smiled and said, "We've been walking for a whole morning. Master doesn't drink a drop of water. My disciples have called you. Let's drink some?"
The indifferent man had a straight face, his lips were very thin, and he looked very difficult to speak, and said coldly, "I'm not thirsty."
The woman smiled and said, "Come here, Xiaoqiuer, my sister is thirsty, can you give me something to drink?"
The handsome boy stood up and sent the water over. The woman wiped his face with a smile and said, "My sister likes you like this. You are so tender. Tonight..."
As she spoke, her voice was very low, and the indifferent man gave the woman a cold look.
The handsome young man smiled and said, "Aunt Xiang, what a coincidence, I like young ones too."
The woman named Aunt Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and her face suddenly became angry, saying: "Damn boy, do you want to be beaten!"
The handsome young man quickly walked around behind the indifferent man and said, "Master, that old woman is going to beat me."
"All right!"
Scarface spoke suddenly, and said, "Old ghost, go and ask that man if his horse is for sale."
The wretched-looking man looked like a charlatan, he nodded immediately and ran towards Wen Baiyu.
When Wen Baiyu saw him coming, the man smiled and said, "Little brother, do you want to sell this horse?"
Wen Baiyu glanced at the dark horse beside him, he was not familiar with the place here, so naturally it was impossible to sell his horse.
Wen Baiyu said, "Sorry, I still use it myself."
The wretched-looking man had no choice but to come back, poking his head out and said, "That kid won't sell, what should I do?"
The woman sneered and said, "That's not easy. If you walk around this place for a day, you won't see a single person. Let's just kill him."
The wretched-looking person said: "Don't, look at him, he looks thin and tender, I really can't bear it, why don't we talk about it after having fun."
The indifferent man didn't speak all the time, he just frowned and moved his wrist. His fingers made a "click-click-" sound, which sounded creepy.
Scarface said: "Maybe this person lives nearby, don't hurt anyone first, let's ask the way."
A few of them were discussing, and Wen Baiyu looked them over again. The packages of these people were very heavy, and some bamboo baskets had a piece standing up inside, which seemed to be something like a shovel or a hoe.
But judging by their looks, they are all Lianjiazi, not like farmers, they also have calluses on their hands, and their scarred faces look like Jianghu people, let alone the indifferent man, naturally it cannot be a farmer up.
Wen Baiyu felt that they were probably people who washed the sand.
Seeing Wen Baiyu's appearance, these people thought he was harmless, but they didn't expect that Wen Baiyu's ears were so good that he could hear their words clearly.
Before those people came over, Wen Baiyu had already walked over by himself, and said: "I'm sorry, I want to find out the way. I was hunting with someone nearby, and I accidentally got separated. I don't know the way back. I want to ask Ask a few."
Those people all looked at each other in blank dismay, but unexpectedly they were asked the way first.
There was a killing intent on Scarface's face, the wretched man was full of pity, Scarface clenched his teeth, and was about to raise his hand to attack Wen Baiyu, when the indifferent man suddenly raised his hand, the metal hand unexpectedly The movement is very flexible, and it is pressed on Scarface's shoulders.
Scarface's shoulders trembled under his pressure, and immediately collapsed, which shows that the indifferent man has a lot of strength.
The indifferent man said softly, "Be safe and don't be impatient."
The boy smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we got lost too."
The woman said: "Little brother, sell your horse to us. You see we have so much luggage, and we are very tired on our shoulders."
Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "This is a friend's horse. I am separated from him now. It is not good to sell it myself. How about this? We are all separated anyway, so how about going on the road together? My horse can be borrowed." Carry your luggage for you."
Those people started to look at each other again, and then looked at Scarface. It seemed that he was the boss. Scarface thought for a while and nodded.
The woman tugged at the scarred face, turned her head and said in a low voice, "I said, what are you thinking, we are here to find the village to wash the sand this time, you let this little boy join in, how can we wash the sand?"
Scarface said: "Promise first, and when we find the stockade, we will kill him together."
The wretched man came over at some point and said, "Old Dao is right, he is right, let's take him first, hehehe, you didn't see that he is really handsome."
The three reached a consensus, and Scarface turned to the indifferent man and said, "What do you think, Brother Tang?"
The indifferent man didn't speak, nor nodded. The rest of the people seemed to be familiar with his style of acting and speaking, which seemed to be tacit approval.
The wretched man smiled and said to Wen Baiyu: "Little brother, our boss agreed, we can go on the road together, little brother, what's your name?"
Before Wan Qi Jinghou had already announced to Xiangguo that the national teacher was the divine bird Phoenix named Baiyu, Wen Baiyu felt that it was not good to tell them so, so a flash of inspiration came to his mind and said, "My surname is Wen."
The wretched man rubbed his palms and said with a smile, "Oh, brother Wen's surname is just right. He lives up to his name. It's so nice. My name is..."
Before he finished speaking, the young man squeezed over and said with a smile: "Look at his obscene face, we call him an old ghost."
The old ghost glared at the kid, but because the kid's master was very powerful, he didn't say anything.
The boy said, "My name is Mu Qiu, and this is my master."
The young man pointed at the indifferent man, and the indifferent man raised his right hand and pushed the young man's fingers away in displeasure.
Mu Qiu didn't mind either, and said, "My master's surname is Tang, and his name is Tang Wuyong."
Mu Qiu pointed at the woman again, and said, "You can call her Aunt Xiang or Aunt Xiang!"
The woman immediately became furious and said, "You little bastard, my mother killed you!"
The woman looked at Wen Baiyu, obviously Wen Baiyu was not his type, and said, "My name is Xiangxiang."
Wen Baiyu: "..."
Wen Baiyu was really powerless to complain about this name.
Finally, there is the scarred face, just call him Laodao.
In this team, Scarface is obviously paid, and the others seem to be partners. Mu Qiu talks a lot, and seems to be a bit chatty, chatting around several other people, and constantly provoking.
The old ghost's eyes were always glued to Wen Baiyu's body, while the woman's eyes were glued to Tang Wuyong's body.
Everyone started to set off again. There was a leather map in Scarface's hand, which looked very old. They seemed to be looking for an old village.
This valley is right next to the hunting ground, how could there be any old stockade?
They put their luggage on the back of the black horse, and everyone walked along the river. Wen Baiyu felt it was too strange. The direction they were walking was obviously the direction Wen Baiyu came from.
Wen Baiyu walked forward for a total of ten steps, but when he walked back, he walked for a whole afternoon and couldn't see anything, as if the road had no end, and the river valley continued to extend, as if a ghost hit a wall.
Everyone kept walking, exhausted from walking, the young man sat on the ground slumped, he looked like a young man, his physical strength was not as good as the others, his head was sweating from exhaustion, he seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, and said: "Don't go, I am exhausted!"
Tang Wuyong just looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "Go back."
Mu Qiu immediately jumped up from the ground, stretched out his hand to hang around Tang Wuyong's neck, and said: "Master, master, this disciple is wrong, disciple is not tired, he can still go."
Tang Wuyong gave him a cold look, stretched out his hand to push him away, Mu Qiu stood on the ground shaking, the old ghost came to help him with a smile, and said maliciously: "Xiao Qiu, I will carry you."
Mu Qiu immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's too ugly!"
Old ghost: "..."
Wen Baiyu: "..."
Scarface looked at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, I'm sure we won't be able to find it today, maybe we're lost again, everyone, look around and find some branches to light a fire, we'll camp here."
Everyone nodded and prepared to look around. Mu Qiu wanted to follow Tang Wuyong, but Tang Wuyong threw Mu Qiu to the ground with a slight wave of his hand.
Mu Qiu got up and wanted to catch up again, Tang Wuyong turned his head and said coldly: "Aren't you tired, sit where you are and look at your luggage."
Mu Qiu immediately beamed with joy, and said with a smile: "Master is so kind, Master is so considerate, Master treats me the best!"
Tang Wuyong frowned and said, "Shut up."
He said, and walked forward without looking back.
Everyone else was looking for things, while Mu Qiu and Wen Baiyu stayed to look at their luggage.
Mu Qiu opened the bamboo basket, and there were indeed shovels and knives inside. Their knives were all wrapped in cloth, as if they didn't want people to find out, there was still a lot of dry food and several jars of wine inside.
Mu Qiu took out the tent inside and said to Wen Baiyu, "Can you set up a tent? Help me."
Wen Baiyu walked over, he felt that setting up a tent should be a very strange thing, but he didn't know why, he set it up more neatly than Mu Qiu, it seemed that he always did this kind of thing before, but why he would set up a tent, he seemed a little unable to remember up.
Wen Baiyu was thinking hard while setting up the tent, and he didn't know why, but he thought of Wanqi Jinghou from setting up the tent. He set up a tent, but Wen Baiyu felt that he must have seen Wan Qi Jinghou set up a tent, but he didn't know when he saw it.
Seeing him in a daze, Mu Qiu originally wanted to startle him, but just as he walked over, he suddenly heard three sounds of "嗖—嗖——嗖—", which seemed to be birdsong.
Wen Baiyu was awakened instantly, and looked towards the direction of the horizon.
Mu Qiu's expression also changed suddenly. At this time, the old ghost came from a distance with some trees in his arms, just in time to hear the voice, his expression also changed, and said, "Is this a signal from your master?"
Mu Qiu said: "Yes, Master told us to go quickly, there must be something discovered."
As Mu Qiu said, he quickly packed the luggage on the ground, and the others also dropped the firewood. Scarface and Sister Xiang also heard the sound, and ran over quickly, and everyone chased after the sound.
The sky had already darkened, and there was a faint crescent moon rising in the sky. Wen Baiyu and the group of people followed the direction of the sound and walked forward. There was a black hole in front of them.
They climbed up the slope, the mountain was very high, and then they saw a canyon, and there was a hillside on the opposite side of the canyon. The strange thing was that there was a vine connecting the two hillsides separated by the canyon!
The canyon is bottomless, and it seems that there is still the sound of rushing water below, and a thin vine in the middle of the hillside seems to cut through the night.
The voice came from the opposite side, "嗖——" there was another sound.
Mu Qiu immediately said: "No, no, Master is angry, he is urging us."
As he said, he squatted down, opened the bamboo basket, and took out a few metal things from it, which looked like hooks.
It should be a shuttle, hooked on the rattan can slide to the opposite side.
Wen Baiyu also stuffed one in his hand, Mu Qiu was the first to rush up, hung the shuttle on the cane, then moved his body forward, and there was a sound of "嗖——", Mu Qiu's small body Suddenly gliding in the darkness, disappeared into the darkness like the wind.
Wen Baiyu was playing with this kind of thing for the first time, he seemed a little nervous, grabbed the shuttle with all his might, imitated Mu Qiu, and jumped forward suddenly, he felt that this thing was too difficult to use, far worse than his own wings Yes, at the same time as he moved forward, he suddenly felt that his abdomen was being stretched, and there was a strange pain in his abdomen, and Wen Baiyu almost let go of the pain.
The distance between the two mountains was not far, Wen Baiyu rushed over with the shuttle, and fell to the ground suddenly, and Mu Qiu yelled "Ah!"
The voice was very loud, echoing in the empty night, the shout seemed to attract a black shadow, the black shadow leaped up in the dark night, and suddenly landed in front of them, it turned out to be Tang Wuyong.
Mu Qiu hurriedly got up from the ground, got up and fell to the ground again, in front of him were several heads, several heads!
No wonder Mu Qiu yelled suddenly, Mu Qiu was the first to rush over, and on the opposite hillside, there were actually several human heads. The human heads were right next to the rattan. Those heads were all tattered and bitten. look.
After Mu Qiu rowed over, he bumped into the heads of those people, so scared that he immediately yelled out.
Seeing his clumsiness, Tang Wuyong reached out and pulled him up. Mu Qiu immediately hugged his neck, like a child, climbed up with both hands and feet, with his legs wrapped around his waist, and shouted: "Master has many head!"
Tang Wuyong snorted, seemed to laugh for a moment, and said, "I only have one head."
Mu Qiu was so frightened that he was about to cry, probably because he was too young, he was still a teenager, and despite his usually talkative and courageous appearance, but now his eyes were red, and he said tremblingly: "Master! There is something on the ground!" So many brains!"
The three people behind also followed, seeing the head on the ground, as if they saw cabbage, their expressions remained unchanged.
Sister Xiang giggled and said, "Hey, little tender melon, why are you crying? Let my sister see, tsk tsk, do you cry when you are a grasshopper? My sister is really heartbroken. How about it, today Playing with my sister at night? Guaranteed to make you cry."
Mu Qiu stared, looked at Sister Xiang viciously, and said, "Hey, don't worry, I won't cheat on you even if I cheat on my master!"
Mu Qiu was talking about playing, but suddenly he let out an "Ouch", Tang Wuyong fell to the ground, and fell a big buttock, which happened to land on those rotten heads, and immediately let out a "ho -" sound.
Mu Qiu quickly got up, chased after Tang Wuyong and said, "Master, Master, I'm just making an analogy."
Tang Wuyong stared and said, "Shut up."
Mu Qiu quickly shut his mouth, and the others followed them inside.
After passing the hillside, there is really a stockade in front of it!
Wen Baiyu observed this place carefully. It was a very quaint village. The gate of the village was made of rattan. It looked very old, and there were signs of breakage in many places.
The night was quiet, only the sound of water could be heard, the stockade in front was very tall, but there was no sound inside.
It stands to reason that it is just dark now, even if it is sunset, it is impossible to go to bed so soon, and it is impossible for such a big village to be silent.
Several people were very happy, and Sister Xiang said, "We really found it!"
Tang Wuyong said coldly: "While waiting for you, I went in and looked at it just now, and there was no one inside."
"what?!"
Several other people seemed to say this sentence at the same time, as if they were very surprised.
Wen Baiyu became more and more curious, what exactly were they looking for?
Scarface said, "Could it be that the person who sold us the map was a fraud?"
The old ghost said: "This is impossible! Let's go in and have a look first."
A few people walked in the direction of Wang Zhaizi, and they found that the village was surrounded by river water, with water in all directions, and the village was built in the middle.
There are two watchtowers at the gate of the village. This place is very learned, like a military camp, but there is no one on the watchtowers.
Mu Qiu said: "Let's go up to the sentry tower to have a look. It's high and we can see clearly."
Everyone went to the sentry tower. They climbed the sentry tower, because there were too many people, and there was only a distance to turn around, so they couldn't move away.
Wen Baiyu stood on the spot and looked around. The sentry tower was very high and he could see very clearly. He looked at the surrounding terrain and wanted to see if he could find the figure of Wancheng Jinghou, but unfortunately, he didn't see it. any figure.
Wen Baiyu didn't focus on the inside of the stockade, but outside the stockade.
Wen Baiyu found that this village was very strange, he was surrounded by river water, and outside the river water was surrounded by a circle of small hills.
Wen Baiyu counted, there are... twelve small buns in total.
Around the stockade, there are twelve small hills.
twelve……
There was a buzzing in Wen Baiyu's mind, he didn't know why, a scene suddenly flashed before his eyes, a place full of ice, a pool of water surrounded by twelve round piers, he suddenly fell from a high altitude, in case Hou Jinghou rushed over suddenly, hugged himself, and then the two of them fell into the pool together...
Wen Baiyu felt that this scene was very familiar, as if he had experienced it himself, and his memory was very clear, but he couldn't remember when it happened.
Wen Baiyu stared blankly at the side until Mu Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, are you asleep? Let's go!"
Only then did Wen Baiyu come to his senses, those people had already climbed down the sentry tower, Wen Baiyu quickly followed.
Sister Xiang said: "It's really fucking bad luck, what's going on, there's no one in the village?"
The old ghost said: "Isn't it okay that there is no one? Anyway, we are not looking for people, but their graves."
The old ghost said and laughed.
Wen Baiyu seemed to find that they didn't shy away from being a stranger at all when they said these words. It seemed that they were determined to kill him. So far, if they kept him, they probably wanted to use him as a wayfinder.
Scarface said: "Although this is the case, be careful of deceit."
He said, and then said: "In order to save time, let's search separately, and blow the whistle if there is a situation."
Although in order to save time, safety must also be considered. In the end, everyone was divided into three groups, and two groups began to search around.
The old ghost immediately proposed to be a group with Wen Baiyu, but Wen Baiyu had no objection, but the old ghost's eyes were always naked, which made Wen Baiyu uncomfortable, but it could be ignored.
The old ghost graciously led Wen Baiyu to the north, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, you must be tired, it's been a long way."
Wen Baiyu said: "It's okay, not too tired."
The old ghost graciously held out the bamboo water bottle and said, "Brother Wen, would you like some water?"
Wen Baiyu knew that they got their water from that river, and the black horse didn't let him have the river water before. He didn't know what the river water was, so Wen Baiyu waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty yet."
The old ghost is very thirsty, not because he is thirsty because of activities, but because he feels thirsty when he sees Wen Baiyu, he drinks the water with a smile, as if he regards the water as Wen Baiyu's wretch, and he feels good after drinking it sound.
Wen Baiyu's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he began to regret being in the same group as him.
They have been walking in the direction of due north, and there are no people on the way, but there are many houses around them, all of which are made of crushed stones. They look very simple. They are not so much houses as caves. Very similar to the cave, it seems that an uncivilized ancient tribe lives here.
There are rattan armor and other things around, and there are defensive measures, but the strange thing is that these rattan armors are covered with dust, and the degree of dust is very large.
The old ghost looked at the ashes with the eyes of a ghost, and said: "There is a ghost here, it seems that no one has lived here for a long time."
Wen Baiyu could also see this.
They turned around, revealing an ancient atmosphere everywhere, it seems that this place has been deserted for a long time.
The grass around the house began to grow wildly, and some had already covered the house.
The old ghost felt a little unlucky, so he took out the leather map and looked at it, Wen Baiyu noticed it, there was a village drawn on the leather, and there were twelve hillsides around the village, exactly the same as what he saw just now.
The second half of the stockade is circled by cinnabar, and there seems to be some point there.
While the old ghost was looking at the map, Wen Baiyu suddenly heard "Sand
