Wang Lizheng didn't actually know. Meng Xinghe hurriedly called Xiao Wuzi over and asked him to gather the men in the village. What was going on? He was so efficient in doing things. He was just flattering and responding to Master Meng's orders. He was a local official who did his best to serve the superiors. He He didn't even ask what was going on. He had already brought a large group of people over. This shows that Wang Li is really good at flattering people. It's no wonder that he has been sitting in the right position for decades. This has nothing to do with his life and deeds. It has something to do with it.
Meng Xinghe counted the number of people in front of the door. There were more than a dozen people, which was not a small number. Including him, Mr. Chai, and Wang Guinian, the lineup was still relatively strong. Wang Lizheng walked up at this moment. He knelt down and asked: "My dear nephew. You asked me to come here with a group of people. What do you mean?"
Meng Xinghe explained the purpose of his visit and said: "Go to Yandang Mountain to have a look. Two of my men went hunting last night and haven't returned yet. I want to go out and look for them."
When Wang Lizheng heard the words "Yandang Mountain", he let out an audible sound. It was obvious that he was feeling sad.
"No way." He said quickly: "I recently heard from villagers that the area around Yandang Mountain is haunted. At midnight, you can hear the sound of clanging weapons and crying coming from above. You know why there are so many ghosts behind Yandang Mountain? Ten miles of land is still deserted and unmanaged. It's not because the land is not good and cannot grow farmers. It's because it was the ancient battlefield of the Pingcheng Battle in the Sui Dynasty. Tens of thousands of people were killed. Even the soil in the field is red. No one dares to go there. I think the two men of my nephew must have fallen into the mass graves surrounding Yandang Mountain and cannot get out."
Everyone listened to Wang Lizheng's words and took a deep breath.
Meng Xinghe didn't know that there were so many stories in Yandang Mountain. He saw that everyone was distracted. I'm afraid they were also afraid of the ghosts. Meng Xinghe immediately said in a trembling voice: "I still don't believe that those ghosts dare to do it even in the daytime. Come out and scare people. If anyone is afraid of death, please stay. If you are not afraid of death, come with me." He said decisively, resolutely taking the first step.
Although everyone was afraid of ghosts and monsters, what Meng Xinghe said was somewhat reasonable. In addition, there were many people and they were bold, so no one backed down. They all followed up with loyalty.
There is only one small trail leading up to Yandang Mountain. It has been covered by shrubs and thorns because it has been inaccessible all year round. Meng Xinghe and others had to use long knives to clear the way up the mountain. Moreover, they did not know where Luo Feng and Xue Rengui were. Under such circumstances, it obviously made the search much more difficult. Moreover, Wang Lizheng deduced that there was no large pit for people to be buried in the front mountain. There was only one halfway up the back mountain. Almost no one had been there, and there were often ferocious beasts. So Everyone is advised to be careful, lest they fall into a pit and be buried, or be eaten directly by wild beasts.
Meng Xinghe remembered that the last time he and Zhao Haoran and Zhong Yusu came to Yandang Mountain to enjoy night chrysanthemums, they didn't see how dangerous it was. They just saw a startling glimpse of a woman in white on top of a cliff. He smelled it. There was a faint fragrance of flowers. Wang Guinian, who had never seen such strange things in the world, poked Meng Xinghe and asked: "I have only heard that epiphyllum blooms at night. I didn't expect that there are flowers blooming at night on Yandang Mountain." The anus is really strangely tight.”
Wang Guinian, who has seen many rare and rare treasures, was surprised by the chrysanthemums blooming slowly at night on Yandang Mountain. Looking at this kind of chrysanthemum, its color is as bright as the setting sun, it is shaped like a dragon's claw, and it looks even better than a dragon's claw chrysanthemum. A smaller shadow. And what's even more strange is that it only opens up where the moon shines. The ones hiding in dark corners that have not received light are like children's clenched fists.
"Brother Meng, such a strange flower should have a name." Wang Guinian paused and got down, ready to pick one.
Meng Xinghe didn't know how to answer. On the contrary, Wang Lizheng on the side rushed over as if he had lost his soul: "It can't be done. It can't be done. Oh, my Lord Wang, you can't pick this flower. Something will happen if you pick it. "
Wang Guinian took back his hand: "How do you explain this?" Meng Xinghe also stood up. He was willing to hear the details.
Wang Lizheng said in a few words, very briefly: "This is called the Yin flower. It is said to grow on the road to Huangquan. If someone picks one, his soul will be taken into the flower. He will never be reincarnated as a human being for eternity. Anyone who dies unjustly will It will grow in places with more people. It is the ghost of the deceased who picked the ghost flower in the underworld and left it here to cause trouble for the rest of his life. If you pick one, it will attract ghosts." I don't know if it is true. The story was made up by Wang Lizheng through hearsay, but it made Wang Guinian feel itchy and immediately retracted his hand and did not dare to move any more.
Meng Xinghe is an atheist. He just listened to what Wang Li was saying and forgot about it after a while. He led a huge team to open a road in the dense forest. He almost climbed to the top of the mountain, but no trace of Xue Rengui and others was seen. Just when Meng Xinghe was deciding whether to let Wang Lizheng take people around. If he couldn't find any more traces, he would immediately go to the back mountain or even go to the ancient battlefield that Wang Lizheng mentioned. Not far away, there was a message from Mr. Chai. Come and make some noise.
"Third brother, come here and take a look." Chai Shao knelt down and picked up an arrow that fell in the bushes. "It's the arrow used by the two of them."
Meng Xinghe also discovered this clue and immediately sent people to check around here. Since the arrows they used could be found on the ground, it proved that the two of them had been here before.
As expected, things went as Meng Xinghe expected. A group of people sent by Wang Lizheng soon found a trace of people passing through the bushes in the jungle. It was probably the path that Luo Feng and Xue Rengui walked. Only then did Meng Xinghe find his target. He immediately had a purpose and asked people to search slowly along this passage.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. It is also covered with thorns and thorns, which can even tear off a person's clothes. Meng Xinghe is walking in the middle. According to Wang Lizheng's words, it seems that the two young masters have broken into the back mountain of Yandang Mountain. Here The forest is dense. It is easy to get lost if you are not careful, and you may even fall into a mass grave. As you go deeper, the light-tight forest becomes eerie. Although it is noon outside, it is like dawn inside. It's no different. Some people even start to sweat from their noses.
At this time, Meng Xinghe asked everyone to open their voices and shout their names. The echoes echoed in the forest, causing waves of jackdaws to fly up.
Walking in this barren mountain, if it weren't for the large number of people, one or two people would be really scared.
As everyone searched all the way, they gradually descended to the back mountain. The scenery here was different from that of the front mountain. It was a solid virgin forest. Towering trees that could not be hugged by several people. Dense branches and leaves grew in the air. Meng Xinghe felt as if he was unconscious. I broke into the prehistoric world. But I heard Wang Lizheng say that this is just a corner of the back mountain. Because it is extremely dangerous, even the old hunters dare not come here. The trees have not been cut down, so they have grown like this. big.
Meng Xinghe thought that the two boys were really lost here. He asked everyone to search as slowly as possible. Don't get lost. If you go in, you won't be able to get out.
However, just as Meng Xinghe finished speaking, every so often, he heard the sound of trees shaking in front of him. Everyone thought they had encountered a wild boar, and they all pulled out the weapons they brought with them, ready to defend themselves at any time. However, they did not expect that before that From the shaking place, two tough-looking young men suddenly jumped out. They were Luo Feng and Xue Rengui.
Meng Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You two little bastards are really easy for us to find."
Meng Xinghe cursed. The sound was like thunder in the forest.
"Shh." Xue Rengui immediately made a booing gesture like Meng Xinghe: "Don't make a sound."
As soon as he finished speaking, swish, swish, a hail of black arrows was shot at Meng Xinghe and others. Immediately, some men from the village brought by Wang Lizheng died unexpectedly. Then, several voices came from all directions: "Yesterday Those two brats are here at night. Shoot them to death." The voice fell. The sound of crackling arrows shot through the leaves and penetrated into the human body and bones shattered. Meng Xinghe and others were like prey in a circle. As if waiting to be slaughtered.
