readx; After their group set out on the road, they held the tokens from Duannan in their hands, so they had a great advantage in clearing the customs, and this time they walked without any hindrance. Ma Wen was also led along the walk by the wild boar.
Therefore, we drove out two to three hundred miles overnight. At noon the next day, when the sun was already scorching hot, we rested in a village.
This village is very small. If you want to have food and accommodation, you can only find accommodation with the people in the village. However, seeing that the people in this village are very poor, the only thing you can do is borrow a fire and a house.
Fortunately, although Lin Fengjin and the others left in a hurry, they were all old and used to traveling far away, not to mention the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring? So they were quite well prepared.
Lin Fengjin and the others found the largest bamboo house in the village to borrow fire and a place to stay. They just threw half a bag of palm-sized salt over and asked the owner to give up their place of stay with great gratitude.
When walking in this place, the best hard currency is not copper coins. Even the mountain people don’t recognize this, but salt. Needles, threads, iron pots and the like are hard currencies. It is common here to find a wife for a bag of salt.
yes.
However, just when Lin Fengjin and the others had eaten and drank enough, and then spread their own mats on the ground and lay down to sleep, Lin Fengjin's closed eyes suddenly opened. He had a habit when sleeping.
, I like to sleep sideways in the corner against the wall, so my nose will naturally be close to the ground and the corner.
"This smell?!"
Lin Fengjin immediately looked at it carefully, and immediately found a faint trace in the corner, and there was an inconspicuous smell on the trace. If Lin Fengjin hadn't happened to sleep in this corner, he would have smelled this smell.
Missed the past.
It smells like alcohol.
And the taste of this wine is quite special, it still tastes like osmanthus wine.
According to Lin Fengjin's knowledge, osmanthus wine is a specialty of the area near Jinchengzhang in the east of Xirong. Neither the raw materials nor the processing methods have been spread, and it is also very expensive to sell. A bag of wine costs at least one tael of silver.
So the question arises, in this place in the west of Xirong, thousands of miles away from the place of production, how come there is suddenly a bag of osmanthus wine as a specialty? Even if the local residents here have the ability to own this thing, they will definitely end up with it.
Bring it to the leader, because for them, to drink such expensive wine casually, they must be crazy to do such a thing!
Moreover, the smell of alcohol is very easy to dissipate, especially since the weather here is quite hot, so this drop of alcohol must have been left for no more than two days. Otherwise, over time, it will definitely evaporate.
Thinking of this, Lin Fengjin couldn't sleep immediately. He called the landlord directly, threw a small bag of salt to him, and asked:
"Have any outsiders passed through here in the past two days?"
The landlord immediately became very frightened and waved his hands to deny it, saying that such a thing had never happened. Our village has been here for several years. Except for some salesmen, outsiders like you have been here.
What kind of person is Lin Fengjin? He is very observant of words and expressions. He immediately noticed that when the old man spoke, his eyes flickered and his words were vague. He knew that sometimes being gentle and gentle was not enough.
With a look in his eyes, compared with Changzi's power of Wuji, it is obvious that Wuji is more suitable to frighten these ordinary mountain people.
Du Wu smiled sinisterly, and suddenly pointed his hand, and saw a wine bowl placed on the table next to him suddenly flying. At this time, the mountain people nearby were stunned and trembling.
, and then the wine bowl staggered to the front of the old man. Suddenly, the water in it was splashed in front of him. However, after the water fell to the ground, it actually made a squeaking sound.
, smoke came out and turned into blood as red as blood!!
"Wu, it's Master Wu Ji!" The old man was so trembling that he couldn't even kneel down.
Du Wuji said coldly:
"You know what the consequences will be if you lie to the evil witch. I just killed a lonely ghost before. If you don't tell the truth, the next time you kill the family god!"
The custom here is that people will still return home after death, but in another form, such as a snake that often comes to the home, which is regarded as a household god and will protect the safety of the home. I heard that all witches
When Ji said this, they all kowtowed like crazy. It was even more painful than Wu Ji threatening to kill themselves. They said with tears on their faces:
"I don't dare, I don't dare to deceive you anymore."
It turned out that just the day before Lin Fengjin and the others arrived, a group of people passed by here. The accent of that group of people was completely different from this one. They also brought their own wine, food and cakes. They only stayed here for half a day and then left.
It was not clear whether they were chasing someone or hiding. When I asked about the clothes of this group of people, it seemed that they were dressed like members of the Fa family. Presumably, the little trace of osmanthus wine that Lin Fengjin noticed was this group of people.
What remains.
"You're really afraid of what you're going to get." After hearing this, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "These bastards from the Legal family are really making people unable to calm down at all. Could it be that they used divination to find out again?"
Have you learned our whereabouts? No, there is a big witch and evil force, and the other side may have some tricks that can work, but it is absolutely impossible that we can't detect any signs."
It is said that although the last time the great shaman had to tell Lin Fengjin this series of ancient secrets, he exhausted all his strength and needed to recover for a long time. However, Lin Fengjin then searched in the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that the "Dragon Crystal" was actually carried by him, because before setting off, Lin Fengjin felt that the protective gear on his body should indeed be updated. Although he had used this "Dragon Crystal" several times before,
"The thing made out of the material is not ideal, but in fact it is a high-end material that sounds very powerful. It cannot be ruled out that it is a problem on the part of the builder."
In addition, the capacity inside the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring was quite large at this time, so Lin Fengjin took the "Dragon Crystal" with him at that time and asked the craftsmen to "sample" it before throwing it back again.
, placed deep inside the Sumeru Mustard Seed Ring------after all, to be honest. This thing was also sold at an astonishing price at the sale---I didn't expect it to be sent now.
It comes in handy!
What is the thing that comes in handy? Of course it is not "dragon crystal", but the pile of bones inside the dragon crystal!!
To be precise, they are the remains of the great witch from his previous life!
This thing seems to be of no use to anyone. However, for the great witch and evil spirit who is a ghost in the world at this time, it is equivalent to a rare sea-fixing needle! Yin ghosts are originally ethereal.
Things have no substance. If they want to exist in the Yang world for a long time, they must have a physical body to transform reality into emptiness and nourish the Yin soul.
The thing that the Great Witch Fierce's soul was originally attached to was his bone relics that were kept in the golden chamber. He had used a secret technique to make his bone relics, which had been burned into bone beads one by one, still look like
Like the physical body, it continuously provides nutrients for his soul. However, most of the bone relics have been destroyed at this time, so the nutrients provided for the soul have become extremely scarce. This is why the great witch said that he would take a long rest.
.
However, if there is another remains at this time, it will be different. There is an extremely mysterious connection between everyone's soul and body. This is irreplaceable, just like a key corresponding to each other.
There is a corresponding portal.
The soul of the Great Witch Fierce relies on the strength of the Qixie Ancestral Witchcraft Sutra. Therefore, it can be reincarnated continuously and its true spirit is immortal. It is as if this key has been recast many times. But it still maintains a certain unique style, so these days
The physical bodies of the reincarnations also have many things in common.
After obtaining this additional remains, after only simple refining, the soul of the Great Witch Fierce received several times the nourishment every day than before, so it recovered faster and faster. For Lin Fengjin at this time, the Great Witch Fierce
The most powerful thing is not any magic or witchcraft, but the eight hundred years of experience that he has more than others!!
Even though the great shaman is usually obsessed with cultivation and has not wandered around in the world of mortals, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Therefore, if the experience of more than 800 years is piled up, it can be said to be particularly astonishing.
.Sometimes, someone can explain the problem that you are puzzled by and make it clear in just one sentence.

The reputation of Wu Ji is quite effective in Xirong. Wu Ji has a slightly stern face. The people in the entire small village are out of their minds. They are so frightened that they even brought up the unwanted garbage thrown away by the gang.
Kowtow is like pounding garlic.
Lin Fengjin looked at the half-broken wine gourd in front of him. He was still only sure that this thing was produced by a wine shop in Jincheng Zhang. However, he still could not determine the true identity of this group of people. The most disturbing thing was that
What's funny is that these poor mountain people even treasured the toilet paper used by people passing by. After all, the common ones in this place are bamboo chips or pumpkin leaves, which shows how poor they are.
.
The situation at this time is actually not difficult to judge. The risk of turning back is even greater, because staying in Xirong for a moment longer will actually make you more dangerous. If there is any trouble, you will be frightened and run away. In fact, it will deepen the situation.
the degree of danger.
Moreover, the terrain for hundreds of miles nearby is karst terrain, which can be said to be quite complicated. Even with the strength of Lin Fengjin and his group, they can travel dozens of miles or hundreds of miles in a short distance without being familiar with the place.
It is still possible to travel quickly over mountains and ridges without taking ordinary roads, but the price is that you will not be able to travel normally for the next two days, and even your normal combat power will be affected!
Under such circumstances, it is not wise to turn back or take a detour. What's more, after Lin Fengjin thought about it, even if the Legalists really figured out his whereabouts, he would not be easily fooled.
Those who have been taken down by the other party also know their own strength. They just send a few small fish and shrimps here casually, but they are not enough to fill their teeth!
Based on this inference, even if they can gather their strength, they can only lay out an ambush circle at most. However, there is a saying that people should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation. A few months ago, Lin Fengjin was hunted down.
At that time, he was a burden, but now Lin Fengjin has completely returned to normal. Even if he can't fight for a long time, his explosive power is stronger, and even the divine weapon is a masterpiece! Not to mention the addition of two evil witches?
Therefore, after a second look, Lin Fengjin and his team's strength can be described as more than doubling. The Fa family does not lack manpower. What they lack now is time to mobilize manpower, so Lin Fengjin feels that even if the opponent is really
Whatever dragnet you lay in front of you will only be one layer at best. Just rush past and let the bastards gathered behind you eat ashes!
Therefore, after receiving this sudden information, Lin Fengjin simply ordered a complete rest here, a good meal, and then a good sleep to feel refreshed and rested day and night.
Let’s talk about catching up to the two hundred miles at the same time, and do it in one go, without any sloppiness.
The mountain people were naturally frightened by Lin Fengjin's request for rest, and could not refuse. They just kept praying to the gods and Buddhas in their hearts, hoping that everything would be safe. However, many things are often not based on human will.
After being transferred, Youdao was afraid that something might happen, so Lin Fengjin and his group slept soundly inside the village, resting until the evening.
On the stone road at the entrance of the stockade, the sound of the horseshoes of the packhorse hitting the stones broke the silence in the village. A dozen men with strong bodies and fierce faces poured into the stockade, shouting and screaming.
So he jumped into the water reservoir inside the village and washed his feet and face without any scruples-------that place is used to store drinking water--------it immediately caused a lot of fuss.
Gou Tiao, a man with a mung bean-sized tumor on his nose stood up with a sinister smile:
"Where is your leader?"
At this time, naturally the oldest old man in the village stood up to respond. After knowing the general situation in the village, the man waved his hand to the group of wolf-like men behind him and said:
"We brothers have traveled hundreds of miles to lead pigs, kill sheep, and kill chickens, and finally found a place where we can have fun."
Immediately afterwards, the man's eyes showed a fierce look. He aimed a slap at the old man and slapped him until all the remaining teeth of the old man fell out. His nose was bleeding, and he pointed and cursed angrily.
:
"You old dog is so ignorant! What are you still doing here? Grandpas like this shitty place of yours. That is your great blessing. You are still here because you want to be buried in the grave in three months.
Is the grass growing?”
The old man must have been anxious and in pain. He curled up on the ground and couldn't speak for a while. However, the men in the mountains also had bad tempers. They saw foreigners ruining the reservoir that they had worked so hard to build.
As soon as he got angry, someone rushed out with a hunting fork and stabbed him in front of him without saying a word.
However, the group of people outside did not put the shining steel fork in their eyes at all. One person who was washing feet did not even straighten up his bent waist. He held the scabbard at his waist with his backhand and was lightly shocked.
With one swing, the steel fork that stabbed the tiger and cheetah was pushed away, and then the scabbard was cut off along the fork shaft without hesitation. Such a cut seemed ordinary, but if it wasn't
The hunter was so smart that if he let go and jumped away, at least three of the fingers holding the pole would be broken.
However, the man who was washing his feet seemed to attach great importance to the fact that there was no blood on him. He said a slight "Eh" and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He already raised his wrist and immediately saw a silver hoop inlaid with copper in his hand.
The scabbard suddenly flew out, bringing with it a dull sound of wind.
The outstretched hunter was caught off guard and was hit in the chest. His face immediately turned pale. He stumbled back a few steps and sat down on the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out.
When the gloomy man with the tumor on his nose saw this move, he immediately cheered:
"Wen Laoqi, when did you master this skill?"
Wen Laoqi said expressionlessly:
"It's a small trick, Brother Six is making fun of people here again."
The man with the tumor on his nose is the eldest, so why do others call him Sixth Brother? It’s because of the big tumor on his nose, but “tumor” and “six” have the same pronunciation, so he follows him
As his status is getting higher and higher, fewer and fewer people call him Liu Da Tuo, while more and more people call him Sixth Brother.
While the two of them were talking to each other here, the man in the nearby village saw one of his own seriously injured and vomiting blood. His eyes suddenly turned red, and they shouted, and they were about to rush forward with bows, arrows and equipment. At this time, the clan leader who was curled up on the ground suddenly said
The boy struggled up from the ground and stood in front of them, shouting in great panic:
"Can't fight, can't fight!"
There is a saying that people become better with age. This old patriarch has lived for so many years and has never experienced any storms. He has already seen at this time that the strength of this group of people is definitely not that of a group of Orion men in his small village.
If you can afford it, if a fight breaks out, rivers of blood will flow almost instantly, and the entire village will be slaughtered.
Such a result is definitely the worst. Instead of risking something like this, it is better to just endure it. It is impossible for these outsiders to stay here forever. Unless they are very abnormal, otherwise, it is natural to kill people to establish their authority.
But there will be no mass killing, so at most the livestock and food will be ruined, the women will be insulted, and people will be left. (To be continued)
