"Yeah. It's unbelievable."

Zeng Shushu's eyes were bright, he touched his chin and said, "I am quite curious about Shinto matters, so I have collected a lot of news about them in recent months."

He paused and then continued, "I thought it was just a rumor spread by false rumors. Now I hear what Senior Brother Qi said, is it really true? Now it's interesting."

"If it is true that in Fenxiang Valley, Tianyin Temple says that the Shinto is an evil way, then our journey there this time will definitely be bumpy. In my opinion, we should wait until we get to Fengcheng, then put on makeup and go."

Qi Hao said, "Of course, it is best to bypass the big city and take small roads. This can avoid being noticed by some powerful gods."

"What Senior Brother Qi said is true."

Zhang Xiaofan said, "I heard from the seniors of Fenxiang Valley that the strongest among the gods is the mountain god leader. At this moment, the mountain god leader is in Fengcheng. It is indeed our first choice to avoid him, but where should we go next?

"

"Go due west."

Zeng Shushu thought for a while and said, "I heard it's wild and remote there. Next door is the Swamp of Death. There's no reason why elite soldiers and generals would be deployed there. Can't we go there to capture the land god and ask him about it?"

"rational."

Qi Hao's eyes brightened after hearing this, but soon, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "This is still a bit too risky. To be on the safe side, we divided our forces into two groups this time. One way to the west and the other to the southwest.

Go to Luo City. Regardless of whether things go smoothly or not, we will all meet at the designated place at the agreed time. If someone does not come, it means there is an accident. At this time, there is no need to wait, just go back to Qingyun Mountain and report to the leader and them.

Can."

"this……"

Zeng Shushu hesitated and said, "By dividing the troops into two groups, wouldn't it weaken our strength? Make the originally risky action more risky?"

"I'm just making a suggestion. If you don't adopt it, we can discuss it carefully."

………………

Go all the way west.

The four most outstanding disciples of the new generation of Qingyun Sect, when they approached Fengcheng, they activated their sword lights, then bought a few horses, bypassed Fengcheng, and continued to gallop westward with their horses.

They discussed it for a long time.

In the end, it was decided to divide the troops into two groups.

There are several reasons for this.

First, it is difficult to be noticed when there are few people. Four people gather together, and each one has an extraordinary appearance. They are too eye-catching and can easily be targeted. If the time comes, if they are besieged, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

They came here just to investigate the Shinto news, so naturally the lower profile the better. With fewer people, they are more concealable, which makes it easier to operate in some aspects.

Second, the main reason for dividing into two teams is that if one team is discovered and captured, the other team may also break away. In this way, the chance of going back to report the news will be much greater.

Third, if you want to get the real Shinto news, it is necessary to go to Luo City. Going all of them? It would be a bit too reckless. Divide the troops into two teams, which is the safest.

…

Two teams of people.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi headed to Luo City.

Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu's team headed towards the direction of the Death Swamp in the Western Region.

This day.

Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu detoured thousands of miles and finally arrived at Liu Village, not far from the Death Swamp.

This area is sparsely populated. Apart from Liu Village, there are only a few other small mountain villages dotted in the vast mountains.

"It's really remote and desolate."

Zeng Shushu sat on the horse, looked into the distance, then looked sideways at Qi Hao, and said, "Brother Qi, as we go along, there are fewer and fewer people here. Can't we keep going forward?"

I have been riding horses for some days.

Zeng Shushu was so tired that if Qi Hao hadn't insisted on keeping a low profile, he would have chosen to fly with his sword.

"We're out of food."

Qi Hao thought for a while and said, "Go to the village ahead to replenish supplies, and ask about the situation of the mountain people here."

Come all the way.

Although they did not enter the big city, they also traveled through many villages and towns. The close contact allowed them to understand some details of the Shinto here.

Everyone has a smile on their face! Everyone sings about the emperor, the earth god and other gods!

The Shinto here has become deeply rooted in people’s hearts!

It was precisely because of this understanding that Qi Hao felt quite heavy at the moment. He was thinking about how to investigate the true situation of Shinto.

"good."

Zeng Shushu nodded, and then the two of them went to Liu Village.

The village is not big.

There are only a hundred households, but the cultivation of fertile farmland is in good condition. Outside the village, there are slender roads crisscrossed by many villagers taking care of them; in the village, children are running and playing, and the elderly are chatting and laughing with each other and talking about trivial things...

All kinds of things here.

It looks extremely harmonious.

It's like a beautiful picture of entering the world.

Zeng Shushu looked at it and marveled, "It seems a little different here."

"It's indeed different. It seems to be more harmonious and beautiful than other places."

Other places are also very harmonious.

But compared to this place, it seems to be slightly inferior.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a place in the Wild West. Think about our vast middle-earth, if it could be like this. That would be really..."

When Zeng Shushu said this, he couldn't go on.

But I discovered that without comparison, there is no harm.

"yes."

Qi Hao nodded in agreement and said, "What are the facts? Let's ask some old men about it later."

Come all the way.

The two of them were afraid of the land god and the city god finding out, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions. But the location here is extremely remote.

Even if the earth god comes, they are not afraid.

Maybe, if we can capture the land god and ask for the details of the Shinto, we can complete the mission this time.

This was something the two of them had discussed long ago.

When going to the Western Regions, you have to deal with at least one or two gods. And the gods who guard places like Wind City are too strong.

They can only set their sights on the land gods and mountain gods in this "mountain ravine".

"Old man..."

Zeng Shushu was eloquent, eloquent, and very easy-going. He soon started chatting with some old people in the village. During the conversation, Zeng Shushu gradually learned many secrets that were difficult for outsiders to know.

"What evil way? Who can you listen to?!"

The old man suddenly glared and said angrily, "Which bastard dares to slander our great emperor? I will beat him up with my own hands!"

"Old man, don't be excited, don't be excited."

Zeng Shushu pulled the old man to sit down again. He glanced around and saw many people looking over with burning eyes. Feeling quite embarrassed, he whispered in a low voice, "Old man, you also know that I am a foreigner. Many people

I don’t even know the situation. I heard about this evil thing from some outsiders. And there are quite a few people saying this.”

"hateful!"

The old man seemed very aggrieved and said excitedly, "These outsiders know nothing! How do they know how good the emperor is!"

He pointed in all directions, "Look, look at the scenery here. Do you know that two years ago, this place was still a wasteland? Do you know that two years ago, after we had this meal, we didn't know where to go next.

Are you embarrassed to eat?"

As the old man spoke, there was a trace of tears in his eyes, "My poor wife was afraid that her grandchildren would be hungry, so she endured hunger and gave very little food to her grandchildren, while she was in the front

I starved to death in one winter of two years. If the emperor could have come two years earlier, my wife would not have died."

When he said this, he saluted to the sky with respect, and then said, "If it weren't for the Emperor, I would have starved to death last year. It's not just me, many old people would be like this. How could I still be in the mood to be with you?"

Chatting here?"

He wiped his eyes and sighed, "As people get older, they become more and more sentimental. But with the emperor here, we will never have to worry about having a good life in the future. I can see the prosperous age coming, even if I die now

Yes, I’m happy too.”

………………

Zeng Shushu and Qi Hao talked to most of them old men and replenished some food. Finally, the two of them looked at each other and stood at the entrance of the village, feeling quite outrageous that they had done something evil.

"I didn't expect the emperor to be so good?! Could it be a mistake?"

Zeng Shushu said in a daze, "The people in Fenxiang Valley keep saying that they are evil, doing whatever they want and not caring about the lives of others."
