Chapter 197: The Wolf Is Coming
"Whew...... Woo......"
Melodious and loud wolf cries reverberated in the mountains and fields in the distance. Liang Chen put down a pile of dry firewood, turned his head slightly and looked into the distance for a moment, before turning back to Tu Youming, who was building a bonfire, and said, "Don't you think it's a little strange? According to the owner of the carriage and horse shop, there are indeed traces of wolves in this vicinity, but Qu Miaomiao also said that in recent years, the hunters in the mountains have continued to poach wolves, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of wild wolves.
"Hehe! I have to say, we really didn't look at the yellow calendar on this trip!"
Tu Youming shook his head with a wry smile, then set up the shelf, and then began to carefully light a fire. The fire was lit, looking at the more and more prosperous flames, Tu Youming nodded with a little reassurance and smiled: "The wolves are afraid of fire, with fire, those beasts dare not come closer, don't worry, through the howls of those wolves, we can judge that they are at least ten miles away from us, and they may not come tonight!"
At this time, Qu Miaomiao and the fat man came back with a small bucket of water, and brought a few wild fruits by the way, and they didn't know where Qu Miaomiao was looking for it, and there was really a way.
While boiling the water, Qu Miaomiao immediately took out a bunch of compressed biscuits and distributed them to everyone, and said with a smile: "Now you know how important I am as a guide, right? But you don't have to thank me, this girl has always been smart and kind-hearted, with me along the way, you will definitely eat and drink, and more importantly, fun, hehe!"
"It's okay to eat this?"
Tu Youming frowned and picked up the compressed biscuit in his hand, and suddenly smiled and teased.
"I don't like to eat and take it back, anyway, you're not my employer, and some of you eat and pick fat and thin!"
Qu Miaomiao immediately pouted and stretched out her hand to Tu Mingming.
But when he saw Tu Youming, he immediately turned around and no longer paid attention to Qu Miaomiao.
After some noise, the night gradually deepened.
On the hillside, the fat man turned his head to look at Tu Youming and Qu Miaomiao, who were sleeping crookedly, and couldn't help muttering angrily: "The two guides who were supposed to keep vigil were asleep, but they let the two of us keep vigil here, what kind of thing is this?"
Hearing this, Liang Chen turned his head and glanced at the situation, then smiled and said, "Why don't you go and rest for a while, I'll guard, I'm not sleepy anyway." As he spoke, Liang Chen took out a cigarette and lit it, leaned against the edge of a boulder, smoking quietly, his eyes staring intently in the direction from which the wolf howls came.
"If you don't sleep, I won't sleep!"
The fat man sat on another stone with a resolute face, and said casually: "Liangzi, do you think these two people are reliable? Why do I always feel that they are not only not of much help, but have become a burden to us? I am worried about ......?"
Liang Chen suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the fat man from talking, and instead lowered his voice and responded: "At this time, it is no longer appropriate to say this kind of thing again." Anyway, after you get to Taibai Mountain, let's make a decision!"
The fat man shrugged his shoulders, lay down on his back with a lazy face, staring quietly at the starry sky, and after a long time, suddenly burst out of a sentence: "Liangzi, where do you say Qianyu will be now?" Although I know that she must be not far from you, why can't I ever notice her existence? In fact, Qianyu is here, and I don't worry about those wolves at all, and I can sleep beautifully. ”
"Hehe! Everything can't always rely on other people's Qianyu to settle things, the two of us are also two big men, and it's not too appropriate to always let a girl solve trouble. ”
Liang Chen smiled bitterly, but soon, the smile instantly retracted, and he said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, I always have a bad premonition, although it is the first time we have come here, but I feel that those wolves seem to appear around us deliberately......! Fatty, fatty......"
I turned my head to look, but I saw that the fat man was already snoring, and he fell asleep so quickly. Liang Chen sighed helplessly, turned his head in the direction where the wolves were, and looked again.
On a lonely mountain, Bai Qianyu stood quietly on the top of the mountain, her eyes seemed not to be limited by the night, at this moment, she was staring intently at a group of wild wolves two or three miles away, and every move of those wild wolves was in full view. Obviously, these wild wolves were being led by the head wolf, interspersed left and right, alternately moving forward with each other, and rushed towards the direction of Liang Chen and his party little by little.
His fingers tightened, and he clutched the broken wrist knife tightly, and only when those wolves moved five or six miles away, far beyond the range of sight, did Bai Qianyu slowly retract his gaze. Just now, there should have been a thousand or even ten thousand excellent opportunities to make a move and annihilate these wild wolf armies full of violent aura in one fell swoop, but for some reason, Bai Qianyu did not make a move from beginning to end.
Frowning, Bai Qianyu disappeared on the mountain without a trace.
Liang Chen snuffed out the third cigarette, and was just about to lie down, but suddenly sat up again, only to see that not far away, a figure appeared there in an instant. If you look closely, it is none other than Bai Qianyu hiding in the dark. But seeing Bai Qianyu's cold look, Liang Chen's brows furrowed tightly: "Qianyu, what's wrong?"
"It's like we've been calculated!"
Bai Qianyu coldly threw out a few words.
"You mean the wolves?"
Liang Chen suddenly turned his head, and from a long distance, he could see that the extremely violent Lan Qi above the mountains and fields was surging towards this side. After thinking about it, Liang Chen suddenly stared at Bai Qianyu: "Those wolves didn't come spontaneously, but ...... Manipulated?!"
"Hmm!"
Bai Qianyu nodded heavily: "When I was observing that group of wolves just now, I noticed a strange aura flowing in the air, and the wind direction was from northwest to southeast at that time, and it was also swept to your position." Obviously, those wolves were manipulated by the strange smell in the air, and they were all ferocious and unruly!"
When Liang Chen heard this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his forehead: "It stands to reason that when we came to the Qinling area, not many people know about it, and there shouldn't be news so soon in Yudu." And a few people on Hua Lao's side should be taking care of Zhuo Yinan wholeheartedly now, I have no actual conflict of interest with them, there is no need for them to come to harm me, think about it, I still can't think of anyone who wants to harm me!"
After speaking, Liang Chen just looked up, but he saw Bai Qianyu's figure, and he didn't know when he was gone.
"Brother Liang is talking to himself alone, what are you talking about?"
And at this moment, Tu Mingming's voice suddenly came, and he walked slowly to Liang Chen's side, looking around, it seemed that the mountains and rivers in the world were all in sight: "According to legend, there have always been mysterious tomb keepers living in this Qinling area, and those tomb guards will come to invade all the tomb robbers in the ancient tomb dragon's cave, no matter who they are, once they break their bottom line, they will show up and drive out all the people who broke into Qinling, or, completely get rid of them!"
"Qinling Tomb Keeper?"
When Liang Chen heard this, he turned his head slightly and smiled bitterly at Tu Youming: "Brother Tu is really well-informed, I haven't heard of any tomb keepers in this Qinling area." Speaking of which, this 100,000 ancient tombs in Qinchuan is not an exaggeration, throughout the ages, thousands of years of history, how many emperors and generals have been buried here! But so many ancient tombs are not from one family, and they can't be matched before and after, so what kind of tomb keeper is the so-called tomb keeper?"
"Dragon Vein!"
Tu Youming frowned tightly, and said with a serious face: "The only explanation is that the middle dragon veins of Kunlun Mountain occupied by the Qinling Mountains are said to be nine in the world, distributed in the land of China, but the dragon veins are all out of Kunlun, and Qinling is the middle dragon vein, which is the most important thing, although the emperors and generals who have been buried here throughout the ages have nothing to do with each other, but they have done the same thing!"
"They are all absorbing the nourishment of the dragon vein, and if they break the ancient tomb, they will destroy the dragon vein, well, to put it this way, it can barely be said!"
Liang Chen followed Tu Mingming's explanation and said: "But I'm even more curious now, what are they guarding this main dragon vein for? You must know that people in the world are all for profit, all for profit, and I have never seen anyone who only thinks about others and does not consider their own interests." ”
"Perhaps, a faith, a pious faith!"
Tu Youming looked at the distant sky with a melancholy face, and did not look back for a long time...... "This kind of belief transcends worldly interests and the most basic needs of human beings, and their existence exists precisely because of the existence of the dragon vein, which may be the meaning of them becoming the tomb keepers of the Qinling Mountains!"
"Those grave keepers are also interesting, so many tomb robbers don't care, and we haven't found the shadow of the dragon vein, and we're already in huge trouble!"
Liang Chen shook his head with a wry smile, got up and flew up to kick the fat man awake, and said in a deep voice: "The wolf is coming!"
"Where's the wolf?
The fat man stood up, hurriedly touched his head to his feet, and then took out a snow-white and sharp short sheath hunting knife from his trouser tube, glanced around, and the fat man asked blankly: "Liangzi, where is the wolf?
Looking at the fat man's disappointed expression, Liang Chen smiled: "When you can see, the wolves have already surrounded us, in fact, now we are already in the encirclement of those wolves, these wolves are quite psychic, and they seem to be waiting for the best opportunity to attack!" Suddenly, Liang Chen turned his head to look at Tu Youming, and said with a strange smile: "Brother Tu, you were able to drive away the Gu snake in the golden toad's encroachment hole before, could it be that these wolves were provoked by you?" Or ...... You are the mysterious Qinling Tomb Keeper?!"
