Chapter 176: Overnight stay

A few people slept in the hotel until noon the next day, got up and had lunch, and asked the locals how to go to Baxian Town, but found that the traffic in the southwest was not developed and not as convenient as imagined.

Leaving the city and walking in the direction of Baxian Town, there is only one county-level road, which unfortunately suffered a mudslide collapse a month ago, and the emergency repair has not yet been completed.

In addition to the road, there is only a winding mountain road around the distance, the mountain road is rugged, full of dangers, the long-distance bus does not go there at all, Yunkang and several people discussed, can only hire a small bread to drive from the mountain road.

In the end, he paid five times the high price to find a van, and the driver was an old fritter who had been running long distances for more than ten years, known as Brother Niu, who liked to brag about it, saying that no one dared to run this mountain road except for himself.

Seeing that it was not early, several people took their equipment into the van, and after leaving the hotel room, they were ready to leave at any time. Shen Duo and the three of them all wore cool hunting suits, each brought a backpack travel bag, tightened their trouser legs, and wrapped them in black boots, dressed like a veteran adventure traveler.

Chen Jingye has a small trolley suitcase, jeans with a casual suit, and a black top hat, while Yunkang is empty-handed, wearing a set of sportswear and skateboard shoes, and he doesn't even bother to carry a small bag.

"Let's go at this time, and we can go to Eight Immortals Town at night. Yunkang turned his head and asked Brother Niu. He glanced at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and he estimated that it would take six or seven hours to get there.

Brother Niu smiled, shook his head and said: "Boss, you are not familiar with the situation of the mountain road here, usually from the highway to Baxian Town, the fastest time is five or six hours, now the highway is closed and we can't walk, let's go around from the winding mountain road, at least more than ten hours." ”

Yan Fucha sat on the last seat of the van, stretched his neck and interjected: "You drive faster, you will definitely be able to reach Baxian Town before twelve o'clock at night." ”

As soon as Brother Niu heard him say this, his face immediately changed color, and he kept shaking his head and said: "You little brother, it's too easy to think about it, running at night in the mountains is not a joke, and it is not certain what the situation will be." We went into the mountains after dark, and we had to rest all night. ”

Yunkang counted the time, it had already been delayed for a day, and if he didn't set off quickly, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the crew's gathering time, and when the time came, he would leave a bad impression on the director, saying that he had a bad attitude and arrogance, which would not be good.

He's just a newcomer and doesn't want people to point fingers at him behind his back.

The Yan family's father and son couldn't wait, Yan Xuan entered the crew as an expert of special advisers to guide, and Yan Fucha temporarily acted as Yan Xuan's assistant, and Shen Duo was arranged to be one of the photographers of the crew. None of them could afford to delay time, and they were in a hurry to go to Eight Immortals Town to familiarize themselves with the crew.

On the one hand, Shen Duo has a background in Wumen, and the activities of Wumen are mainly in the southwest, Shen Duo knows the environment here well, and he has a great advantage in grabbing treasures in Baxian Town. On the other hand, the Yan family has a special relationship with Yunkang, and they can recruit one to help by the way.

With Yunkang involved in the action, their chances of winning are greater.

The shape in front of him was grim, but Yun Kang had his own plans in his heart, the Yan family was obviously an ally with the Nangong family, and he knew this very well. And he entered the crew of "Eight Immortals", which was commissioned by Anssi, Chu Hanghe and Nangong Guosheng at the same time, ostensibly working for Xingyi Company, but in fact, it was also an opportunity for him to hunt for treasures.

He has a talisman array plate, and he has the "Spirit Treasure Diagram" of the Witch Spirit King, although he doesn't know what the treasure is, but it must be a good thing to attract so many people to snatch it.

Yun Kang secretly pondered, as long as it is a good thing, he must not be soft-hearted, politeness and humility are not his style, and he has to pluck the goose at best, so he has to get some benefits.

After arriving in the Eight Immortals Town, everyone will rely on their abilities and abilities to see who can grab the treasure first. Yun Kang knew that he had the greatest chance, and thought that the treasure could not be shared, as long as he grabbed it, it would be his.

So at present, his attitude remains neutral, and he only focuses on the Yan family in his personal feelings.

Because of this, Yunkang was even more anxious to rush to Baxian Town, and the Yan family's father and son were also worried that other forces would be at a disadvantage if they laid out in advance, so they kept urging the driver.

"Wait for your car to rest overnight, and the cucumber dishes will be cold. Yan Fucha said hurriedly: "No matter what, you will fly to the Eight Immortals Town tonight." ”

Seeing this situation, Chen Economy said to the old fritter driver: "I said this Brother Niu, you just blew yourself into the sky, and said what is a little expert in winding mountain curves, only the mountains that can't fly over, and there is no road that you can't drive, how can you be cowardly." ”

Brother Niu's old face turned red, and he hurriedly argued: "You don't understand the taboos in this mountain, it's not that the mountain road can't be driven, but you can't enter the mountain at night, especially the mountains near the Eight Immortals Town, there are too many ghosts in it, and I'm also worried about accidents." ”

Yunkang glanced at him a little impatiently, this old boy is too unrealistic, saying that he can't enter the mountain at night, he is deliberately embarrassed, and he wants to sit on the ground and raise the price.

He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and said: "What do you mean by ghost name hall, the mountains are haunted at night? Recently, there have been many people who have gone to Baxian Town, and if they all encounter ghosts, it will also promote the local tourism industry." What is there to be afraid of a haunted ghost, catch one when you meet one, catch a pair when you meet two. If you don't want to go, we can invite other drivers, there will be brave men under the reward, I believe there will always be more courageous. ”

Of course, Brother Niu didn't want the cooked duck to fly to his mouth, and he went to Baxian Town at five times the price, where to find such a gold owner. Looking at the appearance of these people, all of them are sturdy and powerful, they are all big men who can fight, even if they are in danger, they are not afraid, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and muttered: "You don't have to worry, it's a big deal, let's fight with the ghost together." ”

In the end, Yan Xuan spoke, for the sake of safety, let Brother Niu drive all the way first, and then observe the situation after it is dark, if there is really danger in the mountains, it is okay to rest overnight.

Brother Niu was relieved when he heard this, nodded and sighed: "You are still reasonable and know the difficulties of this night mountain road." It's not that my old cow is timid, but that the mountain path is too mad. ”

The van sped off and two hours later into the mountains, winding along a winding mountain road.

After getting on the winding mountain road, they realized how dangerous the mountain road was. On one side is a craggy stone cliff, on the other side is an abyss, layers of clouds and mist, the van leans on the side of the mountain, trembling on the not very smooth dirt road, at any time you can hear the sound of the river flowing under the abyss, occasionally stones rolling down, making a turbulent and terrifying rumbling sound.

The mountain road behind became more and more difficult to walk, and the van detoured on the bumpy winding mountain road, making Yan Fucha dizzy and nauseous all the way, pressing his chest against the back of the seat, constantly rolling his eyes, and almost throwing up.

The dilapidated glass of the van shook loudly, the tires rubbed against the edge of the cliff, and a wheel flew in the air from time to time at the turn, which frightened Chen Jingye's face and pulled the handle of the seat tightly, lest the car fall to the bottom of the cliff and the car would be destroyed in an instant.

The van drove on the winding mountain road for nearly three hours, the sky was almost dusk, and the deep mountains were quiet, only the rumbling sound of the car motor could be heard, and the afterglow of the setting sun was cast on the curved mountain road, leaving a yellowish shadow.

The van easily left the winding mountain road and gradually drove into the barren road in the dense forest. The weeds on both sides grew more than a person tall, and the dense woods blocked the light, so that no bright color could be seen, and the whole forest was lush and green, looking extremely gray and eerie.

The van was thumping and thumping, and weeds were swishing outside the window, giving it the feeling of shooting a horror movie, and you could never drive in it again after driving less than a kilometer into the dense forest.

Brother Niu parked the van on the edge of a cliff more than ten meters high, then got out of the car, observed it left and right, and said: "We can't go any further, there are many dark trenches on this mountain road at night, which are covered by weeds, and if you are not careful, you will fall. ”

The group had no choice but to get out of the car, standing in the forest only to feel the wind gusting, but there was no trace of wind.

"This is a barren mountain range, there is this road is rolled up the mountain by car, only during the day can be seen clearly, at night can not tell which is the road, which is the weeds and ditches. Brother Niu raised his hand and pointed forward, lest Yunkang and the others would not believe his words, while explaining, he poked hard into the grass with a wooden stick, and sure enough, there were some dark holes and deep pits.

Brother Niu estimated the time and said, "I have already walked more than half of the distance, and I will set off at dawn tomorrow morning, and I will be able to reach Baxian Town in about four hours." Soon the sky will be dark, the black lights are blinding, the forest is panicked, we will camp on the edge of this cliff, and we don't have to rush so hard. ”

Shen Duo glanced at Brother Niu, silently turned around and walked into the dense forest, went to check on the weedy road in front, came back after half an hour, and said: "There are indeed many dark ditches on the side of the road, and it is very dangerous to drive over, so it is better to stay for a night and wait for dawn to set off." ”

A few people brought a lot of equipment, tent sleeping bags, and things Yunkang brought in the Dragon Swallowing Ring, so sleeping in the forest was not a problem.

Yun Kang saw that Shen Duo said that it was dangerous, and he didn't want to be reckless, anyway, he couldn't make it to Eight Immortals Town tonight, so he stayed in the forest for one night, and it would be the same tomorrow.

They set up a campfire on the edge of an open cliff, then took out various cooking utensils and cooked noodles and canned meat on the fire to eat.

Brother Niu was surprised by Yunkang's magical magic, but Shen Duo and the others were accustomed to it, and they all sat around the bonfire, quietly eating the broth noodles in the pot.

After dinner, it was completely dark, there was not a single starlight and moonlight in the night sky, and there was a dark gloom all around, except for the slight crackling of the flames, there was not even a sound.

There was no wind in the night, and there was a deathly silence in the woods, and not even the leaves moved. Yunkang always felt that the forest was gloomy, and the atmosphere was a little weird, so he asked Brother Niu: "Is there anything wrong with this forest, why is there no wind at all, and I didn't hear a bird cry on the road, it's too strange." ”

Brother Niu turned his head to look around, and then picked a bonfire with firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously, and he lowered his voice and said: "I have also heard the legend of this forest, and it is indeed a bit evil. ”

Seeing the nervous expression on his face, a few people couldn't help but be interested, seeing that it was still early for bedtime, they simply listened to what Brother Niu said about something strange in the forest.
