Heshan is already considered to be on a higher ground in the mountains of Xiangxiang. It is a place where birds gather, hence its name.
Qian Yun saw the outline of the mountain peaks in the distance gradually taking shape, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Heshan Town is located on the mountainside. It is a relatively unique mountain town. The local residents call themselves mountain people, and there are more hunters than farmers.
Qian Yun signaled the team to speed up. It would be best to enter the city at night to avoid encountering any danger.
However, he felt that the journey was relatively smooth, at least he passed through the area where bandits were infested safely.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the jailer who followed the team never showed up from beginning to end, and he didn't even know his name.
Ren Qing opened his eyes, stretched and yawned.
In his opinion, these days passed by in a blink of an eye.
It may be because the longevity has dropped below ten years, so with the blessing of the Taotie method, the life extension efficiency is very high.
It won't take long for Ren Qing to be promoted to the Divine Foot Master, so he can go to the ghost market to replenish resources at most.
While he was on the road with nothing to do, he secretly considered how to deal with Wuweimen.
First of all, the most troublesome thing is to find traces of the other party, and secondly, try not to make any noise when solving the Wuwei Gate.
After all, this is not a wilderness, and being tough will definitely attract the attention of the Jailer Hall.
In the end, Ren Qing came to the conclusion that if he could sneak into the Wuwei Sect and figure out the location of the Immortal Master, he could dismantle them from the inside.
Regarding this, he tried it in Wuwei Dojo.
Ren Qing discovered that the patterns on the Taoist robes representing the Taoist officials could be hidden, and it would not be difficult to disguise them as an accident.
But it depends on the situation.
The cart jolted, and Ren Qing came to his senses.
The team is traveling on a winding mountain road and must be careful. If the horses are disturbed, they may fall off the cliff.
Ren Qing jumped off the cart.
He watched the team go away, and only after everyone entered the city did he turn around and disappear into the forest.
When students return to Heshan Town, they will attract a lot of attention, including the Prison Hall and the Wuwei Sect.
Ren Qing planned to stay outside the city for a while and then sneak in secretly.
He found a tree hole to live in temporarily, and simply closed the hole with weeds.
It just so happens that the Dragon Snake Spine has almost completely absorbed the spine obtained from the Land of Dark Feather. Although it will not cause transformation, it will still improve some strength.
Ren Qing practiced peacefully in the tree cave, and ended up staying there for several days.
He would also observe the prison in his belly on weekdays. The wolves had been corroded by wolf blood and were almost dead before he knew it.
In the end, there were only three wild wolves left, and they experienced varying degrees of alienation as a blessing in disguise.
The size of the alienated wolf has increased a bit, the fur all over its body has faded away, and is covered with a layer of fine bone armor, and bone spurs have grown out of its back.
Theoretically, the alienated wolf should be able to be used as a substitute.
But the bone spurs on the wolf's back were so sharp that it was impossible to sit still.
The husky is the complete opposite. Its body of more than two meters is covered with thick hair, which is like a natural cushion.
The disadvantage is that his character is too boisterous, unless the husky is locked up with the weird thing called the God's Foot.
Ren Qing summoned the Dragon Snake Spine, and the pale white spine shone slightly, and its flexibility and sharpness increased a lot.
It's a pity that if you want to improve your essence, you can only wait until you are promoted to the Ghost Envoy Realm.
But in addition to the already booked Shenfeijing.
Human Skin Book, Armor-wearing Skill, and Immortal in the Mirror all have different focuses. It’s really hard to choose which one to promote. It would be better if you master the Book of the Dead.
Ren Qing put away the dragon and snake spine, packed it up and headed towards Heshan Town.
Different from Sanxiang City, the city wall of Heshan Town is relatively low, probably because the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as the construction cost.
Ren Qing was not prepared to take the right path, he went straight to the remote city walls.
Then he climbed up with both legs, and soon reached the top. The officers and soldiers were naturally unaware of Ren Qing's figure.
Ren Qing stood on a high place and looked down at the town, his expression showing some interest.
Although Heshan Town is located on a flat mountainside, the ground inevitably has a certain slope, causing the buildings to tilt this way and that.
But he didn't think it was ridiculous, instead he had a different kind of majesty.
The layout of the yamen is in a long strip, and there is definitely a jailer's hall, but it is estimated that there are only two or three jailers, and maybe they are all staying in Abi Hell.
Ren Qing looked through the files of Heshan Town.
There are many mountain villages around the town. The total population should be about 80,000, and the resources are barely self-sufficient.
As for the food problem, Heshan Town is backed by mountains. Part of it can be solved by hunting, and the rest can be solved by using the surrounding terraces.
The terraces are mainly planted with rice. At a glance, you can see many farmers busy in them, and you can also hear loud folk songs.
Ren Qing jumped down from the wall.
He adjusted his body in mid-air, leaving only a shallow crater when he landed.
Ren Qing dressed up as a scholar and integrated into Heshan Town. In fact, after the imperial examination, students from other cities did follow the team here.
As he walked on the street, the tilt became more obvious.
There is at least a foot or more height difference on the ground from south to north, and the buildings are stacked on top of each other, keeping a short distance apart.
Ren Qing looked around with his peripheral vision and could see police officers every hundred meters.
There was a lot of discussion among the residents.
He couldn't help but listen attentively, but he didn't expect that in half a month there would be a sacrifice to the mountain god to pray for peace.
At first, Ren Qing thought it was because of his good luck that he encountered a festival as soon as he entered the city.
But it soon became apparent that this was not the case.
Heshan Town does not specify when to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods. Whenever something happens, they will open the altar with great fanfare.
Sowing seeds, harvesting in autumn, praying for rain, drought and flood...
No wonder Wuwei Sect is hidden in Heshan, where large crowds gather at every turn, which is perfect for preaching.
Ren Qing watched the sky getting late and prepared to stay first.
Everything in the city seems ordinary, but everything is weird, so there is no need to rush to find clues to the Wuwei Gate.
He just needs to ensure that he is not exposed and then act according to the circumstances.
Ren Qing specially found an inn closest to the Yamen, so as to reduce the possibility of Wuweimen lurking nearby.
After all, there are always guards coming and going.
Because there is less turnover of people in the inn and there is not much business on weekdays, the hotel is mainly a restaurant, followed by accommodation.
The shopkeeper who received me was over forty years old, and his hair was already gray.
After Ren Qing expressed his desire for a guest room, the shopkeeper just asked a few questions and then took him to the second floor.
Ren Qing took the opportunity to contact all the waiters in the inn. Without exception, they were all ordinary people and there were no traces of the Wuwei Sect.
On the first night in Heshan Town, Ren Qing specially set aside some thoughts to be on guard.
He was afraid of encountering possible dangers, and the dragon and snake spines were wrapped around the beams. He would react immediately if he felt any movement.
But the result was unexpected.
Until the sun rises, Heshan Town is still as calm as a lake.
Ren Qing had no choice but to go out to the streets to read with books on the surface every day, but in fact he was looking for any clues.
But there was no movement for several days.
Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Would Wuwei Sect really focus on the towns guarded by jailers?
The answer is impossible.
Wuweimen, the sixth one, is definitely more centered around mountain villages.
But it is also unrealistic to say that Wuweimen has not set foot in cities and towns.
At least to offer sacrifices to the mountain god, the other party will definitely get involved.
The so-called mountain god is called "Aru God" and has been in Heshan Town for hundreds of years. The temple blessings there have no magic at all.
If Ren Qing rashly went to the mountain village, he might not be able to find the Immortal Lord, and it would be easy to scare the snake away, so he had to wait for the sacrifice to the mountain god.
During this period, even when the ghost market opened, he only hurried to Dameng Pavilion to replenish resources.
Let the sub-soul do business alone in the Dream Forge, and the main body will immediately return to the present world.
As the mountain god sacrifice approaches, Heshan Town becomes lively.
Because this time we are praying for good weather, we need to use a large amount of food as a sacrifice and start preparing it a few days in advance.
From morning to night, you can clearly smell the smell of burning firewood in the air.
But even though the sacrifice was approaching, there was still no movement from the Wuwei Sect, which made Ren Qing wonder if the other party had given up.
Fortunately, preaching in Wuwei Dojo continues.
Obviously the Immortal Master believed that Ren Qing, who had been alienated to such an extent, could not possibly affect Wuwei Sect's actions in Heshan.
After all, Ren Qing's consciousness turned into a giant wolf at that time, which was definitely caused by the alienation of his body.
He learned from the innkeeper's insinuation that the sacrifice would last for several days and nights, and the first thing to start was to invite the gods.
Before worshiping the mountain god, please pray to the god.
Seeing this, Ren Qing mingled in the crowd and started walking towards the place of sacrifice.
The people I met along the way had pious expressions and were orderly, without any conflicts.
People merged from the branch roads into the main road, forming a huge flow of people. Even by visual inspection, there were at least several thousand people.
The flow of people in the middle of the street is deliberately separated by a distance of three meters.
It is too easy to fish in troubled waters in this situation.
Of course, the jailer also intervened, and several reserve soldiers stood on the eaves. From the surface, they should only have the cultivation level of the half-zombie realm for the first time.
Ren Qing's sense of presence is not strong and he can observe the surroundings unscrupulously.
Soon there was movement, which was caused by horse hooves stepping on the bricks. From the sound, there were at least eight strong horses.
In a town dominated by mountain roads, horses are scarce.
Seeing this, Ren Qing turned around and looked around, his narrowed eyes unconsciously moving. There was a carriage coming from the end of the street.
The carriage carried a statue of a mountain god that was more than two meters tall. It was extremely beautifully carved, but its face was really blurry.
There are also a large number of patterns on the curtain surrounding the statue, and the style records the process of Heshan Town from scratch.
The original mountain people probably fled to the mountains to avoid floods. As hundreds of years passed, Heshan Town gradually developed.
Ren Qing suddenly had a thought in his mind.
In fact, there is no need to wait for the Wuwei Sect to take action. Just force these guys out. Of course, the speed must be controlled well.
And I feel that before that, I should be able to gather enough longevity for promotion.
He thought about the feasibility and soon came to the place where he worshiped the mountain god.
