After holding his breath for a while, Zhou Yi secretly opened one eye.

The black-robed national teacher had already left that position, and his movements were extremely fast, and several of them had already rushed to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

There seemed to be a slight pause, and after looking around, a whistle was blown towards the sky, and the large bird swooped down in a circle, landing at their side.

The black-robed national teacher seemed to whisper a few words to the big bird, the big bird kept shaking his head, and made a terrifying cry, and the black-robed national teacher landed on the big bird's body, and with the big bird taking off, he went directly up the mountain.

It seems that this is for the birds to reconnoitre, but fortunately, they are dark under the lights, and the black-robed national teacher did not pay attention to his feet, otherwise he would not know how to die.

Zhou Yi has good eyesight, he can see the head of the big bird clearly, bare and hairless, this is not a flying eagle but a vulture, such a species can be domesticated, and carry people to the top of the mountain, which makes people stunned.

Seeing that there was no shadow of the person, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"The black-robed national teacher has gone up the mountain, let's wait here, or go to the village to investigate?"

At this time, Sophia didn't dare to hold it up, after all, with the fat man and Cheng Zhi, she couldn't carry all three of them over, it was safer to observe at this time.

"Let's observe it a little, according to the letter, Wanzhou City and Yingzhou City in this location will send capable people and officers and soldiers over, if we go down here, I am afraid that we will also become people who are surrounded and suppressed. ”

Zhou Yi nodded, his thoughts coincided with Sophia.

Looking left and right, their position in front of them is not bad, it is exactly the side of the ridge, and there is a ditch behind it, like a natural trench, hiding in the ditch, whether it is the village below or on Qingcheng Mountain, they can't see their position.

"Is Sophia a telescope?

Let's observe here for a while, to see what they do next, the black-robed national teacher carried the woman in green up, this is the meaning of reckoning, or questioning, we don't know, at least to know whether the demon is there or not, what is it. ”

Sophia rummaged through it, not to mention that there were really three telescopes, and she threw them to the three of them, but she didn't take them, Zhou Yi knew that her senses had been improved to the limit beyond ordinary people, and this didn't mean anything to her.

Zhou Yi took out the food, distributed it to several people, drank the water himself, and held a telescope to observe the village below.

Several villages were scattered throughout the valley, each village was not large, only twenty or thirty households, but when I looked around with a telescope, I didn't find a single one.

This made Zhou Yi a little surprised, could it be that there was no one in these villages anymore, and they were all killed by those demons?

Put down the binoculars, the fat man and Cheng Zhi stared there, Zhou Yi waved his hand at Sophia, and the two moved to the side of the ditch, seeing that Zhou Yi was so cautious, Sophia hurried closer.

"What's wrong?"

"There are no people in several villages, if there are demons, will they hide in the shadows of the thatched huts?"

Sophia paused.

She just sensed it, and she didn't notice any movement at all, let alone people, not even poultry and livestock, if it was really according to what Zhou Yi said, then how could these demons be so similar to the black-robed national teacher?

"According to your analysis, it will be dark in a while, and we are here, won't we become bait? Besides, if I can't perceive it, does it mean that these demons belong to the same kind as that black-robed national teacher?"

Zhou Yi was silent.

I was still distinguishing before, the aura on this black-robed national teacher was no different from that of a dead person, if these demons belonged to the same sect as the black-robed national teacher, then did this encirclement and suppression become a conspiracy?

"Let's observe first, see if it's a real encirclement and suppression, or a conspiracy, the imperial court just follows this name, and wants to capture Qingcheng Mountain, if it's the latter, we will quickly retreat, so as not to harm the pond fish." ”

Sophia nodded.

"Okay, it's getting dark, so let's hide. ”

Zhou Yi returned to the fat man's side and raised his hand to poke the fat man.

"Try your soil system, if you can control these stones, or these harder soils, and make a shield for us, just leave an observation opening, narrower enough to crawl in and out. ”

The fat man blinked, stuffed all the ham in his hand into his mouth, drank the water, swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then wiped his mouth and said.

"I'll try, I'm full of food and drink, and I don't lack strength. ”

Zhou Yi shook his head and squatted in front of the fat man.

"Remember when I told the woman in green, she injected the attributes of the spirit stone into the branches, you can try it along this line, maybe it will have a different effect, after all, you have absorbed a lot. ”

The fat man is not stupid, he understood what Zhou Yi meant after a little thought, he couldn't squat, he knelt on one knee and supported the stones on both sides of the ditch with his hands, closed his eyes and a faint yellow light disappeared into the stone.

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, not to mention that the fat man was enlightened.

With the faint yellow light flashing, the stones on both sides began to grow like bamboo shoots, and after a while, a small wall of one meter high had appeared.

When he opened his eyes, the fat man's face was covered with sweat, and he shook his fist vigorously as he looked at his results.

"Damn, yes, yes, this can still be used like this, come on all of you, I'll quickly cap it. ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said this, Cheng Zhi was the first to move to the side.

"Fat brother, you seal yourself first, let's go in from the mouth left, it's better to make it bigger. ”

The fat man gave him a blank look, this kid is afraid of death, as if he is unreliable, ignore them, the fat man began to build a house by himself, touch it if there is less here, and drag it left and right to pinch it if it needs to be close together.

In ten minutes, a decent fortress appeared, which was not abrupt compared to the surrounding environment, just like a large stone, and the material was very similar.

Zhou Yi glanced at Sophia, took Cheng Zhi, and entered through the opening on the side.

Stand up straight, and you can see the valley below from the side opening, as well as the direction of Mount Qingcheng.

Clapping his hands, the fat man raised his chin towards Cheng Zhiyang.

"It's your turn, the stone is there, and there are some withered branches and withered grass around, so it looks more real, if someone comes, I will seal it directly, I guess they can't think of it, there are still people hidden in this stone!"

Cheng Zhi nodded, he had already prepared, picked up the dead branches that he had just pulled out on the ground, and kept inserting them into the cracks of the stones, presenting them in clusters one by one, not to mention that they were really a bit like the original.

After dressing up, the sky was really dark, and several people followed Zhou Yi into the hole.

Standing up at a height that just allows his head to be exposed, and the edge is empty, the fat man continues to get stones, looking at this fortress of stone eggs, the fat man is full of a sense of achievement.

At this time, the sky was dark, and she couldn't see anything with the telescope, and throwing the telescope to the side, Sophia stared at the village below, and in the darkness, there seemed to be a little bit of light flashing.

"Look below, there's a little light floating in the village!"

Zhou Yi hurriedly got up.

Standing on Sophia's side, sure enough, there were spots of light flickering in the villages below, like ghost fires.

This is ancient times, naturally there are no electrical appliances with breathing lamps, so what are these, are there fireflies in winter?

Zhou Yi also became alert, his eyes looked at Qingcheng Mountain, I don't know when, at the edge of those buildings in Qingcheng Mountain, there were already some people standing, the torches in their hands seemed to be constantly lit, and the ridge on that side was already full of people.

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand towards the fat man, and the fat man was quite smart and handed the telescope over, after all, Zhou Yi's eyesight was not as good as Sophia.

After a closer look, I found that these people standing on the edge of Qingcheng Mountain were wearing green clothes, except for the different shapes of the crowns and hats, the system of the robes was the same as that of the women in green before.

These people were all on standby, and some even pointed to the village and kept shouting.

Following the direction they were pointing, Zhou Yi looked.

Sure enough, at the outer edge of the valley below, a large number of people gathered in the dark, and these people were waiting with torches.

The fat man leaned over and asked in the lowest voice:

"Boss, are they really going to kill the demons?"

Zhou Yi shook his head.

He couldn't judge this, after all, it was beyond his cognition, and the ghost fire in the village was increasing unabated, and it looked like it smelled supernatural, which was indeed a little scary.

"Look, let's not get involved, as soon as these people get close to this side of the ridge, seal the observation mouth first. ”

As he spoke, the ghost fires below seemed to begin to gather, drifting in the direction of the mountain pass, and then towards the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

Faintly the sounds of weeping and wailing could be heard, both adults and children, with echoes, spread throughout the valley, along with these cries.

The temperature around them dropped instantly, and a layer of hoarfrost was attached to the stone outside the observation mouth where they were.
