Gradually the sun sets in the west, darkness slowly covers the earth, and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east. This is the favorite moment of the evil spirit, and it is also the moment when the mountain beasts and monsters breathe in the moonlight.
In the Yue family's house, after the Yue family had a meal, Grandpa asked the housekeeper to set up tables and chairs in the center of the yard to wait for the arrival of the five families.
"Dad, they should choose the time at midnight, otherwise it would be inconvenient for those ghosts to show up." My father sat on the right side of Grandpa, holding a tea cup, one to drink tea, and the other to warm his hands. After all, in this atmosphere, holding the cup
A hand warmer is so disrespectful, and of course this does not include my grandfather.
"No, they will arrive at midnight." Grandpa is wearing this fox fur glove. There is a bronze hand warmer in the gauntlet. This fox glove was specially found by grandpa. As for why
What? Without further explanation, I will ask, even if there is something at home, my grandfather would never say that it was for revenge against the Hu family and to deliberately make the Hu family angry.
"What about asking the housekeeper to get ready?" Father put down the tea cup and looked at grandpa and asked.
"There is nothing worth preparing now. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. How can you sit down and have a nail under your butt?" Grandpa looked at his father who couldn't hold his breath, folded his hands and frowned and reprimanded.
"Isn't this unreliable?" My father frowned. It wasn't that I resented what my grandfather said. It was just that when people couldn't fully control things, they would always feel strangely irritated. Especially my father was a person who had a strong desire to control.
"Be steady. Your face will not change even if Mount Tai collapses. A gentleman is not important and his authority is far away. You should read less. Sit down and be quiet." Grandpa folded his hands and closed his eyes, but his ears moved.
It was obvious that he had abandoned his vision and started to listen to the wind.
Many times at night, the ears are more real and more accurate than the eyes. The children of the Yue family all have extraordinary five senses. After a long period of training, at night when there is wind, the ears can hear and distinguish clearly, within fifty meters.
The wind blows.
(The eldest son and grandson of the family, the future heir to the head of the family, has been taking medicated baths and traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body since he was six years old. His five senses have been greatly strengthened, and he is also equipped with methods to train the five senses, just to better find Feng Shui.

At the west mountain pass of Langxiang, it is even more eerie and quiet than during the day. You could still see the shadowy figures, but now there are no traces. The cold moonlight of the bright moon shines here in the dark night, making you look like a beast.
The west mountain pass is even more mysterious.
"Drive..." In the silent night, the sound of rolling horse hooves was continuously amplified, like thunder. A group of people and horses kept riding forward. There were no less than a hundred people in the crowd. Behind this group of people,
There was also a long line of people and horses flashing with flames.
On the west mountain pass of Langxiang, on the leeward side, there seemed to be people vaguely behind some hay and big rocks, and there seemed to be people lying on many trees.
"Master Huo, you said we can't wait here in vain all night, it's too cold and uncomfortable in this cold weather." A little boy was leaning on the lee side of a tree. To his right was Master Huo, and to Master Huo's right was Master Huo.
Another little guy and two little guys sandwiched Mr. Huo in the middle, which can protect Mr. Huo from the wind. The three of them were under a tree, and it was relatively warm. After all, the temperature was really low at night at this time.
, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t cold. If I didn’t take a few sips, I really couldn’t stand it.
"Can't you wait?" Master Huo rolled his eyes at the young man and said angrily. Everyone knew that it would be cold outside that day. When his eldest brother Chilong gave him this errand, he said that this trip was
It's hard work, but it's also a good job. As long as you do it well, catch the eye of the master, and get a reward, then you will be the boss in the future, and your eldest brother can smoothly pass on the position of the leader to the boss.
In my hometown, this position is the one above who didn't nod, so it has not been passed down for a long time. If I do it well this time, I won't be a master with all the control.
"You don't dare." The little guy shrank his neck and shook his head like a rattle. He didn't have the guts to disobey orders.
"He just talks a lot, and it's useless to talk about it. If you have the time, it's better to take a break and save some heat." A kid on the other side raised his hat with his hand, exposed one eye, and looked at the kid.
Just a glance.
There is also a difference between underlings and minions. Some minions rely on and flatter the boss to become followers. They just want to coax the eldest brother. As long as the eldest brother still likes him, then he has status. Some are just because of their hands.
People who have good skills and are skilled in martial arts become the followers of the elder brother through fighting. Such minions are relatively cool and look down on those who get to the top by flattery. The elder brother likes them for being able to fight, but also hates them for being smelly.
temper.
"Master Huo, here we come, here we come..." A young man hurried over. This was the sentry on duty at Xishan Pass. His reporting meant that the real owner had arrived.
"How many people?" Mr. Huo opened his eyes, looked at the little guy who came to report, and asked after he stood firm.
"Sir, there are more than a hundred cavalry in the front, and there will be four to five hundred people behind." I thought for a while, made a rough estimate, and then reported the report to Master Huo.
"Did you hear that? Tell all the brothers to stop moving and don't lose sight of yourself." Mr. Huo leaned against the tree and just lay in the nest of the tree without moving. He turned around and ordered the little ones.
"Yes, Lord Huo." When the boy who delivered the order heard Lord Huo's instructions, he immediately notified the brothers in each team.
"Go and inform Master Jin that the real master has arrived." Master Huo ordered to the flattering little man beside him.
"Okay, I'll go and come back quickly. You can stay out of the wind." The little guy said with a flattering smile, and while talking, he got up and went to inform Master Jin.
Such a scene also happened at Diao Ye's place. The difference was that there were no flatterers around Diao Ye, because anyone who dared to flatter him in front of Diao Ye would die. Diao Ye was extremely disgusted with flatterers, and he himself was able to defeat capable people.
Fight hard.
At the highest point of Beishan Mountain in Langxiang, under a big rock, Jin Ye and his younger brother Jin Er sat opposite each other. On the ground were a jar of wine and a cowhide bag containing soy sauce, dog legs, and a roasted pork belly.
chicken.
"Rustling..." There was a sound of very light footsteps, which sounded like a long-distance mountain runner who was very proficient in walking in the mountains and forests.
"Who?" Jin Er stood up, hunched over, holding a pistol in his hand, and shouted in a low voice toward the direction of the sound.
"Master Jin, the real master of Xishan Pass is here, there are about four to five hundred people." Master Huo's minion ran to the Jin brothers to report.
"Rustling..." There was another sound of footsteps, and a figure was faintly seen running over.
"Master Jin, people are here. There are five to six hundred people." A young man ran over. This is Master Diao's people.
Both groups of people came to report the situation at Xishan Pass. There is not much difference in numbers. No one can count them one by one at night. It is normal for there to be differences in numbers.
"Okay, the rightful owner has finally arrived." Mr. Jin nodded, stood up, and looked at the West Pass with a telescope.
