I saw several Miao women walking behind, chatting and laughing. Xu Tong didn't recognize the others, but only the one walking among them, wearing Miao clothes and a silver ring on her head, started to laugh.
Xu Tong recognized that graceful figure with a strand of broken hair floating across his forehead at a glance.
If this wasn't my lost master's wife, who could she be?
Speaking of which, this mistress was also the fault of my master, Mr. Song.
I wanted to make a paper man and resurrect my mistress, but instead of resurrecting my mistress, she resurrected a monster of unknown origin.
Fortunately, this monster is quite trustworthy and has guarded Mr. Song for a long time. Otherwise, before he could become a disciple, Mr. Song would have been forcibly seduced away by evil spirits.
Besides, speaking of it, I still want to thank her.
If she hadn't taken the empty box left by her master and lured away the strangers from Feng Lailou, she might have been haunted by the people from Feng Lailou.
But why did this old woman come to this place??
Seeing that everyone was gone, Gao Zhuo popped up and saw Xu Tong looking at those little girls in a trance. He couldn't help but laugh mischievously: "Why, are you feeling full of love?"
Xu Tong didn't explain, he just slapped his hand on Gao Zhuo's butt, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at Gao Zhuo up and down with a squinting look: "How about we make do with each other? I don't mind suffering a loss."
"roll!!!"
Gao Zhuo had goosebumps all over his body and almost used a weapon to smash the sleeping old man behind him.
Seeing Gao Zhuo's fearful look, Xu Tong couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, you can't help but tease me."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at the retreating figures of the group. He couldn't help but think in his heart, if this mistress is here, there is no guarantee that the people from Feng Lailou will not come.
Speaking of Feng Lai Lou, Xu Tong suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Whether in reality or in the script world, Feng Lai Lou made him feel very annoying.
He betrayed the information several times, and each time he was made very passive. However, for such an enemy, he would not fight you openly, but would only hide in secret and stumble you.
If the people from Feng Lailou really come, I should also consider taking some time to go back to Luoyang City and imitate the master in the script world to put this ghost place to rest.
After they had gone far, Xu Tong and the others stopped camping here and moved to another place.
During this period, the old man was still sleeping soundly. When he woke up, he would find that the place had changed, so he asked Xu Tong.
"That place was crowded and unsafe, so I moved to another place."
"A lot of people?"
The old man obviously caught the key words in Xu's fairy tale.
"Yes, when you were sleeping, a group of people just passed by. There were quite a few people, and they all brought a big red coffin like you."
Xu Tong did not hide this matter, he told the truth, and at the same time, he also observed the changes in the expression on the old man's face.
"Huh, don't worry about them. Without me, those people will never be able to find the secret of the Holy Land."
The old man said confidently.
Xu Tong noticed that when the old man was talking, his hand would inadvertently wipe the silver horn on his waist.
"Old man, we have already reached this point, so don't choke and hide it. What on earth is that holy land? The Yin-Yang Cave we are looking for is not your holy land."
Gao Zhuo also tried to explain their purpose to the old man, and even took out the "Lingling Yin and Yang Feng Shui Diagram".
But the old man took a look at the position on the Feng Shui map and sneered: "You are quite well prepared."
The implication is that I still didn’t believe them.
"Okay, then you can tell me why so many people are here and who are they?"
Xu Tong saw that the explanation could not make sense, so he simply stopped letting Gao Zhuo waste his words and just asked about the origins of the people he saw yesterday.
"Humph, they are all a group of thieves, not really people."
When he mentioned those people going to the Holy Land, the old man was full of contempt. Only under Xu Tong's gaze did he explain: "They are all the patriarchs of those families who want to enter the Holy Land just like you."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sneer: "But how do they know that they can enter the Holy Land?"
When Xu Tong heard this, he couldn't help but think about it.
Could it be that my cheap wife is also trying to get the attention of the Holy Land?
Just as he was thinking about it, the old man looked around suspiciously, but did not see Chang Wuju's figure. He was worried that this guy might have lost his way, but Xu Tong said with an indifferent expression: "Don't worry, I am
Brother is born with a dog nose, he will find you."
The old man was doubtful about this. The depths of the mountains are no better than other places. Even if you hold a map, it will be dark when you enter the mountains. If there are no acquaintances to guide the way, many people will be trapped in this mountains for their entire lives.
However, when night fell, Chang Wuju came out of the woods and saw this guy carrying two wild boars, without looking tired at all.
Walking to the bonfire, he threw the wild boar on the ground and leaned against a tree nearby. He only glanced at Xu Tong from time to time, like a poisonous snake that might rush up and bite you at any time.
Gao Zhuo felt uncomfortable all over.
The old man walked up to the wild boar carcass and took a closer look. He turned the carcass up and down and was shocked.
There was not even a single injury found on the two wild boars, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a hole in the eye of both wild boars.
It shows that Chang hunted these wild boars without restraint, all by piercing the wild boar's eyes with one move and killing the wild boar directly.
Although I don't know how Chang Wugu did it, I'm afraid no one I know can do it.
The old man dragged his chimney, looked at Chang Wuzhen, and then at Xu Tong, not knowing what he was thinking about.
At this time, Xu Tong had already started to roast the pork on the bonfire with a knife.
The old man thought that it would be impossible to finish the two wild boars, but before he could finish the pig trotters in his hands, the roast pork on the grill was already snatched up by Xu Tong and the three of them, without even a single pig tail.
The old man remains.
After eating and drinking enough, the four of them rested early in the hut for the night.
Xu Tong slept soundly that night, but Gao Zhuo's sleep was not so comfortable. On the one hand, it was the old man's snoring. I wonder if the old man was old or had some respiratory disease.
His snoring was extremely loud, and even if you were to say that he was snoring loudly, there would be no sound all of a sudden as if he was snoring. It was as if he was suddenly stuck. Gao Zhuo was so frightened that he trembled and woke up instantly.
Fortunately, this jam only lasted for a few seconds before the deafening snoring resumed.
On the other hand, it was also because of the old man that after he was suddenly awakened, what made him even more horrified was that he inadvertently discovered that Chang Wuju was not sleeping and was lying on the haystack behind them.
The bloody eyes were staring at Xu Tong's back without moving, and his resentful and sinister eyes were more like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike in the dark night.
Who can bear this?
Therefore, Gao Zhuo was destined to have a restless sleep that night, so that when he was on his way in the morning, he seemed a little dazed and walked absent-mindedly.
"Boss, if you have a grudge against this kid, we might as well kill him now!"
Gao Zhuo leaned on his arm and whispered to Xu Tong.
Thinking of the look in this guy's eyes last night, I felt uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to fight with us."
Xu Tong patted Gao Zhuo on the shoulder with a smile. Although this guy was like a beast when he was crazy, a beast also had a brain, otherwise why would he drop the screwdriver to remind him.
Right now, he was the only one who could check and balance the old man. Without him as a threat, the old man would truly have the power of life and death in his hands.
So now, even if Chang Wuzhen wants to cut himself into pieces, he still has to wait until the old man removes the poison from his body.
When Gao Zhuo thought about it, this was the reason.
But when he asked Xu Tong about the deep hatred between him and Chang Wuzhen, Xu Tong just smiled mysteriously and said: "A small operation!"
After saying that, he didn't give Gao Zhuo a chance to ask any more questions and walked forward quickly.
After the four people climbed over a hill along the route, the surrounding air began to become colder.
You can see some dilapidated statues and steps carved out of the stone on the road, all of which seem to indicate that there were traces of human life here.
At this time, Xu Tong noticed that there were bullet holes in some of the stone statues.
"That's what was left from the bandit eradication back then."
Seeing Xu Tong staring at the bullet holes, the old man stepped forward and explained to him.
When I went into the mountains to suppress bandits, I don't know how many people died.
It is said that the bandits have a stronghold with five steps, and a post with three steps. In addition, the complex environment here makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also difficult to transport artillery. Every time they capture a place, they will cause huge casualties.
It was not until those bandits retreated to Black Wind Mountain that they were unable to retreat and were all annihilated.
As they spoke, a ruins appeared in front of the four of them. Even though only broken walls were left in the ruins, it was still possible to see how glorious this place once was.
Gao Zhuo picked up a piece of wood casually, put it under the bridge of his nose and smelled it gently. He was surprised for a moment and said: "Here I go, this is the best nanmu!!"
Because of his hobby of collecting coffins, Gao Zhuo is also very sensitive to wood.
Looking at the wood fragments scattered everywhere on the ground, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is this village all made of nanmu back then? This is too luxurious."
"It's rare but strange. This is just the gate of the village. There are a few houses on the back hill. If the houses have not been destroyed, they should still be there now. They are made of yew."
The old man sneered from the side.
Gao Zhuo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he thought about whether he should dismantle some and take them away. Wouldn't it be nice to go back and make a coffin?
Wild yews are now under national protection.
But for a wealthy family that has stood in this land for thousands of years, it is really not a rare thing.
"Uncle, you are so familiar with this place. Did your family live here before?" Gao Zhuo asked tentatively.
He didn't know the origin of the old man, but he once heard his old man say that there used to be a chieftain family like this that had been passed down for thousands of years in the mountains.
It was a truly wealthy family, and all the Miao people did not dare to disobey the family's orders. It was called a country within a country.
But I don’t know what happened later. A fire caused the family to disappear without a trace.
It is said that he was attacked by bandits, and some said he was punished by the gods.
In short, from then on, few people mentioned this family.
Seeing that the old man was so familiar with this place, Gao Zhuo couldn't help but doubt the old man's true identity.
The old man lowered his head and did not explain. He just put his rough palm on the stone pillar in front of him and groped about one meter down the stone pillar. He could find a deep scratch.
Even though more than half a century had passed, when he touched this scratch, the old man could still clearly think of his father in his mind, who was bigger than him when he scratched a knife mark on the stone.
The remarks.
"Azai, you have grown taller again. From now on, my father will cut you on this stone every year. When one day you grow this tall, you will be the master of our family."
"Okay, okay, then I will be like my father and become the patron saint of our family."
The words spoken back then echo clearly in my mind.
But the knife mark that measured the height stayed at this height forever.
Thinking that the old man's eyes were slightly red as if there was sand in them, he wiped them with his sleeves a few times and then said to Xu Tong and the others: "Let's go, after passing here, there is Black Wind Mountain behind."
At the foot of Black Wind Mountain, a group of people were sitting under a tree, warming themselves by the fire and eating dry food.
He still couldn't help complaining: "What are we doing here? We are really suffering. If I had known it was so difficult in the mountains, I shouldn't have come."
"This will make you feel uncomfortable. Let me tell you, it's winter. If you go to the mountains in summer, hey, the mosquitoes in the mountains alone are enough for you to drink a pot."
Mentioning these bugs in the mountains, everyone couldn't help but feel terrified. Although the Miao people gave them deworming medicine, the medicine was not 100% effective.
Last night, someone was bitten by an unknown insect while sleeping.
As a result, the next morning, the person had turned into a pool of thick blood.
Thinking about that scene, I felt a cold feeling in the collar on the back of my neck. I inevitably felt a little regretful, but it was too late to regret now.
A man gnawed on the biscuit in his hand and said in an envious tone: "Hey, I envy those who were not selected by those seedlings. They should have withdrawn from Western Hunan by now."
"Why don't you evacuate and wait to die? So many of our people have died recently. Last time, seven people died and were discovered by the police before they had time to collect their bodies. Now there is a big fuss. If I hadn't been involved in a murder case, I would have evacuated long ago.
, why should I follow you into the mountains?"
As soon as the murder was reported, all the major exits and expressways were subject to various inquiries. Only the road into the mountain had no police, so those with criminal records had no choice but to go into the mountain.
"It's not that the information given by Feng Lailou was inaccurate. It said that someone was in Jishou. Who knew that so many natives suddenly appeared in Jishou? You said that boy named Xu Tong is really capable. So many natives are protecting him.
He, we can only watch helplessly as this God of Wealth stands there, no one dares to make a move."
Several people were talking to each other, and suddenly one person raised his head and said: "Someone is here again."
Several people looked back and saw four figures. A huge red coffin had appeared in their sight. They were eating sesame seed cakes in their mouths, but they didn't take it seriously.
However, suddenly someone rubbed his eyes and stared at the face of one of them carefully, and then the cake in his hand fell to the ground.
