Chapter 36: Exploring the Terrain
In an instant, the four men and four horses have arrived in Mainland Town. Hong Xiaoyun also wanted to ask Lu Zixuan's father, Lu Ming, patriarch. Because Hong Xiaoyun still has a question in his heart, he has been hovering in his heart, "There are many villages near that dense forest, but why did Xiaowangzhuang have an accident, is it just a coincidence?"
Lu Ming learned of the arrival of Hong Xiaoyun and Chen Yu, and went out to greet him in person. After entering the house, the guest and the host sat down, and Hong Xiaoyun directly asked about the incident in Xiaowangzhuang.
Lu Ming sighed and said, "You are all current disciples or former disciples of the 'Giant Spirit Sect', I won't hide it, in a dense forest not far from Xiaowangzhuang, there is a copper mine, which has been mined for more than two years, this mine has not been reported to the official, and it is still a private copper mine of the Lu family." ”
"What?" Chen Yu asked in surprise, "Private copper mines, don't you know that the Great Barbarian Kingdom does not allow private copper mines?"
"I know! Isn't it just a matter of profit? I want to hide it for a while and then report it to the official. Lu Ming said helplessly.
"What does the copper mine cave have to do with this incident?" asked Hong Xiaoyun, grasping the key.
"That's right, the area around the mine is now shrouded in fog all day long, and people outside can't get in, it's been almost two months since the incident, and there are nearly dozens of miners inside who haven't come out, I'm afraid something has happened. Lu Ming said in a low voice.
"You ······ Alas, Lao Lu, this time you are going to be in great trouble, even if this strange incident is finally settled, but this crime of stealing copper mines, your Lu family can't afford it!" Chen Yu looked at Lu Ming with some sadness.
"Yes, don't hide it from everyone, most of our Lu family's assets have been transferred, if you want to be criminally punished, I will bear it alone, Zixuan will rely on everyone to take care of it in the future!" Lu Ming stood up and bowed to Hong Xiaoyun and Chen Yu.
"This matter, put it aside for a while, stealing copper mines, it's nothing? The Great Barbarian Country is rich in minerals, and many families have done it. As long as the dots are in place, it will be over in the end, and it's a big deal that I'll ask my father to come forward and say a good word!" Hong Xiaoyun said nonchalantly.
"Then thank Elder Hong first!" Lu Ming looked overjoyed.
"No thanks, since my father has come forward, the mining rights of the copper mine will belong to the 'Giant Spirit Sect' in the future!" Hong Xiaoyun looked at Lu Ming with a smile.
"That's, that's how it should be!" Lu also looked very single.
"Okay, then you first send a guide who is familiar with the surrounding environment to take us over, and then send a hundred family members to block the road in and out of Xiaowangzhuang, so that no one will be hurt unnecessarily by mistake. We're going to destroy the weirdness that is doing things. Hong Xiaoyun said with a sinister face.
Not long after, Lu Ming brought a little old man over, this person is an old woodcutter in the dense forest in the mountains near Xiaowangzhuang, who walks in the dense forest all the year round and is extremely familiar with the terrain there.
Mainland County is only thirty miles away from Xiaowangzhuang, Hong Xiaoyun and Chen Yu, Wei Dong discussed, do not ride a 'Jiaoma' to the past, first, the distance is very close, and secondly, the road to Xiaowangzhuang is a rugged path, not very suitable for healthy horses galloping. So the three of them handed over the horse to Lu Ming. Lu Zixuan didn't let him go because of his shallow skills.
Along the way, the three of them listened to the little old man's introduction while paying attention to the surrounding scenery. Wei Dong carefully observed the area around the road and found that it was very wet. Then he opened his mouth and asked the old man, "Uncle, the rain here is very abundant, look, everywhere is wet, and the trees are full of wild mushrooms!"
"This little brother, as soon as you hear it, you know that you are not a local! This is the middle of the Great Barbarian Country, and the rainfall is okay, but the fog is very large, and further on, there is also the infestment of miasma, so well, moisture is the point. The little old man explained patiently.
"Oh!" Wei Dong felt that the yin qi here was too heavy, and it was incompatible with the 'Burning Heaven Technique' he had cultivated, and his body felt very uncomfortable.
After walking for a while, the four of them came, the entrance of Xiaowangzhuang's village, before they entered the village, the three of them smelled a strong smell of blood, and they were all secretly frightened, "What a strong bloody atmosphere, there must be monsters here!"
After entering the village, the bloody aura became thicker and thicker, and it vaguely felt as if it came from the back mountain.
As Zhang Yi said, the village was empty. In some people's houses, there are still rice dishes and chopsticks on the table, as if they are eating, and then they suddenly disappear. In other rooms, there was tea on the table, and people suddenly disappeared. The whole village is inexplicably weird.
In the end, the four of them came to the house of the village chief of Xiaowangzhuang, and the severed leg was still in front of the door and did not move.
Chen Yu carefully inspected the broken leg and found that it was a calf, and there were obvious bite marks on the broken part, thinking that it had been bitten off by some kind of murderous object.
The early spring night started early, and it was only past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was about to get dark. Hong Xiaoyun and the other three decided to spend the night in Xiaowangzhuang, and for the sake of safety, they sent the little old man who led the way back.
In the evening, Hong Xiaoyun took out some dry food and water from the storage bag, and the three of them ate it. After eating, the three of them chatted about some of the major events in the current Great Barbarian Country. It is said that the situation of the crown prince today is dangerous, and the possibility of Prince Rui being in power is extremely high.
In order to take care of each other, the three of them lived in one room, Hong Xiaoyun slept on the bed, and Chen Yu and Wei Dong slept on the ground.
Just as they were about to fall asleep, a low roar came from the end of the village, deep in the dense forest, and the three of them were distracted.
Wei Dong remembered the scene where Li Yun'er was killed by the Golden Armor God General, and suddenly the location seemed to have changed, and it became outside the palace that day, Li Yun'er was fighting fiercely with the Golden Armor God General at this time, and Wei Dong was watching not far away.
Seeing that Li Yun'er was injured by the enemy, Wei Dong rushed forward desperately, resisted the god general, and wanted Sima Bin to save Li Yun'er.
The golden armor god will have a lot of strength, Wei Dong is gradually defeated, and suddenly Wei Dong roared wildly, and his body became larger, two meters, three meters, and grew to more than three meters, and he stepped forward again to fight with the god general.
"My son, wake up, wake up, wake up!" Wei Dong's voice suddenly came out of Dongfang Mirror's head, waking Wei Dong up.
Wei Dong had just come to his senses, and when he was still in a daze, he was knocked to the ground by Chen Yu's punch. At this time, Wei Dong was completely awakened.
After seeing Chen Yu defeat Wei Dong, he felt that there was no one to fight, so he found Hong Xiaoyun again, and the two fought to the death again.
"Father, you woke me up!" Wei Dong asked cautiously.
"It's not me, who else can there be! You're all confused! There's a phantom fox not far from here, and you've all been bewildered by the illusion just now!" Dongfang Jing said anxiously, "You go out and get some water and pour it on the heads of the two of them, so that you can wake them up." ”
"Hmm!" Wei Dong agreed, crawled to the kitchen, took a vegetable washing basin, and drew a basin of cold water from the water tank, got up and poured it on Hong Xiaoyun and Chen Yu.
The two of them were suddenly drenched in soup and stood still. After a while, the two came to their senses at the same time, looked at each other, and turned their heads to look at Wei Dong next to them. Sigh 'It's so dangerous!'
"There should be a psychedelic demon beast here, Senior Brother Chen and I both got caught up just now!" Hong Xiaoyun analyzed on the spot, "Senior Brother Wei, why weren't you confused by the illusion?"
Wei Dong scratched his head and said, "I was knocked down by him, so I woke up and saw that you were still fighting, so I poured a basin of cold water on you, I didn't expect it to be useful!"
"Well, we're lucky, otherwise we'd die of exhaustion!" Chen Yu said with some fear now.
"Those villagers should also be in the way of this monster, so they will all disappear at once!" Wei Dong analyzed very calmly.
"Let's go, let's go to the mountains and forests to have a look! Beware, it's impossible for it to confuse us again!" Hong Xiaoyun proposed.
"Okay! I'll get out of the way!" Wei Dong was the first to rush out of the room.
"Is he okay?" Chen Yu asked Hong Xiaoyun a little uneasily.
"He has a fire-based spell, and he has a certain restraint effect!" Hong Xiaoyun finished speaking, and also rushed out.
The three of them left the village and came to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. I saw that there was a thick fog in the dense forest again, and it was dark here at night, but now I couldn't see my fingers.
Wei Dong walked into the dense fog regardless of it, "Don't go in······" Hong Xiaoyun's cry was a little late.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Wei Dong entered the thick fog, the thick fog rolled away on both sides, "You all follow closely!" Wei Dong threw out a cool sentence.
"This kid must be carrying a treasure!" Chen Yu said enviously to Hong Xiaoyun in front of him at the end.
Although the fog has lifted, the surrounding roads have not changed, and the dense forest under the moon seems to be particularly quiet and deserted.
The three of them walked around the forest for a long time, but they didn't encounter any demon beasts, let alone demon beasts, and even ordinary beasts didn't touch a single one.
Just when the three of them felt strange, that irritable mood suddenly flooded from their hearts again, "Be careful that confusion is coming again, everyone quickly guard your mind, don't fall into the illusion again." Hong Xiaoyun's reminder sounded in time.
Wei Dong and Chen Yu hurriedly exercised their skills to keep their minds clear and clear. It was only after a while that irritability disappeared on its own.
After a while, there was a wolf howling sound from the mountains and forests not far away, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, "We are surrounded by wolves!" Wei Dong shouted loudly.
"Damn, now even wild wolves dare to bully us!" Chen Yu scolded loudly, looking very unhappy.
"Don't be careless, be careful of changes!" Hong Xiaoyun reminded everyone again.
The three of them stood in a zigzag shape, only a cup of tea, and a little green light shone around the forest, and there were many of them.
Another wolf howl was heard, and the wolves began to attack the three of them in turn. The three of them all have the strength of more than eight realms, and it is really easy to deal with these ordinary wild wolves, even if the number is doubled, the result is the same.
Wei Dong felt very strange in his heart, "Since they don't pose a threat to us, why are these wild wolves coming here?"
