102 Futu
In the night, a rickety old shadow walked slowly towards this place, and his steps were staggering.
That is the only old man in the village who has guarded the ancestral hall and survived, speaking of longevity, compared to the ancestors, this old man is the village or the longest, has been ninety-eight years old, but also lonely life, no wife and children.
Over the years, this person has lived in a simple place, rarely showing up in the village, many villagers have even forgotten his existence, even he, the village chief, can't remember this person's appearance, only remember that his name is Laifu.
At this moment, this person suddenly appeared, which couldn't help but make Lai Rengui suspicious in his heart.
Lai Fu bumped his feet and walked towards Lai Rengui's house as fast as he could, and the crutches landed on the ground with a 'tuk' sound, which was very harsh in the quiet silence of the night.
Seeing the main lord standing next to the haystack and squinting at him approaching, his cloudy eyes finally flashed brightly, as if he saw the backbone of the main heart, and said hurriedly: "Village chief, there is movement in the back mountain, and there seems to be a fight!"
Lai Rengui was stunned for a moment, every household in the heart of the Taoist family has been closed, why did this person go to the back mountain?
But the memory flashed in his mind, and he remembered that since this Laifu left the guard of the ancestral hall, he built a thatched house at the foot of the mountain, and he never moved the land from winter to spring, and it was common to hear abnormal movements.
He counted flashes of lightning in his heart, but he didn't know what to do, whether to stop here and wait for the arrival of the noble man who didn't know his face, or to go to the entrance of the back mountain to have a look?
"Village Chief! The ancestral hall is unbreakable, it is the lifeblood of a village!"
Lai Rengui thought that even if he went, he would only risk his life, but at least he had to see who the other party was and what he wanted to do?
"You stay, and if someone comes, bring him to the ancestral hall!" Lai Rengui commanded.
Lai Fu's eyes were puzzled: "Village chief, who is going to the ancestral hall? Could it be the two girls who came yesterday?"
Lai Rengui waved his hand, but said absentmindedly: "It's a noble person who can save everyone, you remember!"
"Village chief, now that there is no one available in the village, why don't you borrow an oxcart for it, and go to the town to report to the official and ask the government soldiers to come!"
"Lai Lao has forgotten the things of the day, how can he move to the government to protect him in troubled times?
"But ......"
Ignoring Laifu's questioning, he hurriedly rushed towards the back mountain.
It's not that he didn't think about summoning the whole village to go together, but now they are all a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, so what's the use of going? Why don't you go and see the situation yourself.

You Xue only pointed in a general direction, and she was still thinking about where the cliff that the pork seller in the town would say.
Unexpectedly, Wuhuan easily found the right direction, as soon as he landed, he saw a one-person high stone stele, under the projection of the torch at the entrance of the cave, it was engraved with ancient and clumsy words in red, and this word, You Xue looked left and right and couldn't understand what the word was, she was deeply frustrated in her heart, and felt the powerlessness of an illiterate.
glanced sideways at Wuhuan, but saw that he seemed to know, and stroked his hand on every outline of the word, but did not touch the surface of the stone tablet, but just fell his fingertips on the surface and hung down again.
At this time, several strong winds swept behind them, and when they were quiet, more than twenty black shadows were already standing behind the two of them, and the silver streamlines were rustling in the wind in the dark night.
"The four guards followed me into the cave, and the rest stayed on standby. ”
"Yes!"
After saying that, he looked at You Xue, and the four guards who stepped forward also looked at her with heavy eyes.
You Xue was stunned, "Look at what I'm doing!"
"Don't tell me, you don't know where to open the stone gate?"
"To tell you the truth, I really don't know, this is not my family ancestral hall. You Xue folded her arms and took a few steps back and sneered.
Wuhuan actually smiled, and didn't embarrass her, just motioned for Siwei to step forward.
Seeing that they stepped forward to investigate, they fiddled with the strangely shaped ever-bright oil lamp, and slapped the square stone wall for a moment, but there was still no response.
You Xue looked at them for a while, ignored them, and didn't plan to take the opportunity to escape, because of Yuanfuxi's obstruction, she was very curious about this place, if Wuhuan and they could really open this stone door, she would be willing to go in and see what was inside?
A Laiyuan Village, which seems to be a dilapidated and once prosperous longevity village, but the ancestral hall is built in such a strange peak, this past year sacrifice or something, imagining an old bone climbing the mountain and coming up to fulfill filial piety, thinking about this picture feels very weird.
When her eyes fell on the words on the stone tablet, You Xue endured and endured, and finally asked, "Please ask Wuhuan Gongzi, what is this word?"
It wasn't Wu Huan's voice that responded to her, but a loud bang.
'Bang la-la' rubble poured down, and the mountains below shook a few times.
You Xue turned her head and saw Wuhuan withdraw his hand, flick his sleeves, and put something in his sleeves.
Seeing that he turned back impatiently and said to her, "That's not a word, it's a floating picture drawn with human blood, a pagan totem!"
You Xue broke away from him, and her tone was very sarcastic, "Let a woman open the way for you?"
"Do you have a choice?" Wuhuan said coldly.
You Xue snorted, dusted off her wrinkled sleeves, took one last look at the character, and stepped into the entrance.
The figures of the six disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and the remaining black-clothed people opened a formation to guard the entrance of the cave, facing the cold night wind, and their eyes were clear to look around at the movement.
On the peaks in the distance, Yuan Ziyue squinted at You Xue and Wuhuan entering the cave, "What weapon did you see Wuhuan using just now?"
Wang Lian was silent, and moved his steps to the side, "His Royal Highness King Rui has been here for a long time, why don't you show up for a while." ”
"Rui Wang?" Yuan Ziyue raised her eyes and looked around.
A figure landed on the ground, and it was Zhen Yunze.
"Is King Rui here for the mystery of Mount Vetuo, or is it for the girl of Nanxing?"
"Until then, the king did not know that this place was different. ”
Yuan Ziyue took out the strip of cloth that fell from her father-in-law's arms, and there were only three words on it, 'Corpse pit extinguished', which was hurriedly bitten through his fingertips and smeared.
Thinking of the scene just now when the woman was as fast as a thunderous shadow and swung her sword to defeat her father-in-law, she was eager to fly up and beat her blind, but after Wang Lian's explanation, she knew that if You Xue hadn't taken the opportunity to repel her father-in-law and his party at that time, her father-in-law would have died in the hands of Wu Huan.
However, if there is any accident with her father-in-law, she will not let go of this woman, even if she is the little master approved by her father-in-law.
However, what does this 'corpse pit, extinguish' mean? She couldn't figure it out, so she handed it to Zhen Yunze.
It's just that Zhen Yunze was stunned by the blood stains on it and didn't take it.
Wang Lian on the side pointed out idly: "At that time, the Nanxing girl had already discovered where the two of us were, and according to what the deity saw, she left this clue because it was for you." He looked at Yuan Ziyue, "Do you know which place the corpse pit refers to?"
Yuan Ziyue naturally knew, so she threw the strip of cloth to Wang Lian: "When I found her, I met next to a haunted corpse pit in Langweipo, and I guess the high priest should be interested in going there to see what is going on." ”
"Heh, what's the benefit of running around for this for no reason?" Wang Lian had a profiteer's face.
Zhen Yunze glanced at Yuan Ziyue, and did not shy away from her, and said bluntly: "If the Beichen Kingdom changes hands and forms an alliance with the Jialuo Kingdom, as the sect leader of the Beichen Kingdom Huoluo Sect, your ideal country in a corner of peace no longer exists, and when the Jialuo Congress comes to make peace and interfere in the affairs of the sect, you will no longer be a high priest who enjoys the honor alone, and you will not hesitate to stay away from Ronghua and secretly stay in the border city to cooperate with the Blazing Li Alliance and assist Yu Mingxuan in acting, which is not also one of the retreats of the Venerable." ”
"King Rui, this is threatening the deity!"
"Why not? The king has already found out the whereabouts of Prince Min Le, if the high priest is still ambitious, why not take a gamble?"
"Bet on what?" Although Wang Lian's tone was strong, he had obviously loosened up.
"In the eyes of this king, the high priest is not a pious, and the string of prajna beads wrapped around your arm must be well hidden!"
Wang Lian was shocked, took a few steps back, and said in a cold voice: "King Rui, when will you know!"
"Don't be alarmed, that's the thousand-year-old civilization of the Li Kingdom, how can it be replaced by a mere Fire Luo Sect, how wrong is the high priest!"
Yuan Ziyue, who was regarded as an invisible person by the two, raised her cheeks and looked at the black shadow in the distance, and frowned: "How can I get in?
Zhen Yunze denied: "The identity of the Guluo ghost is forbidden to the royal capital, and the news has been conveyed to the city of Luo, and you can no longer show your face." There are other entrances to this place, and the village chief of Nalaiyuan is the insider. ”
