Following.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the sky is clear.

With this sunny and good weather, many people in Linshan County took their relatives and friends to visit the city to play, or ride horses, or take a boat along the river.

West City Gate of Linshan County.

The two jet-black city walls were already bustling at this time, and there was an endless stream of farmers and people. There were also a few garrison officers in military uniforms who were lazily leaning on the city gate to bask in the sun, perhaps the sun was too comfortable, and some people even hid their faces and yawned.

The city is full of traffic, the people are laughing and laughing, and it is a peaceful scene of prosperity.

At the same time, under the willow tree next to the pavilion outside the city, a young man wearing a black cloud brocade robe with picturesque eyebrows and eyes looked at the prosperous scene at the city gate, but sighed low and said, "False prosperity." ”

Zhao Si, who was holding the reins of the horse on the other side, heard this sentence and asked a little puzzled: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Ting smiled and did not explain, but looked up into the distance with a confused expression.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Si also saw that he had something on his mind, so he didn't ask any more, and honestly stood aside and waited.

It didn't take long for Zhao Tai, who was dressed like a bearded man in a short black robe, to lead a red sweaty horse out of the West City Gate.

"Big brother, I'm late. Zhao Tai smiled a little embarrassedly, "Let's go." ”

Zhao Ting nodded slightly in understanding, he took the reins from Zhao Si's hand on the side, and then asked, "You can tell me now, where are we going?"

"Of course, hehe," Zhao Tai lowered his head and leaned over, "Let's go to Laomiao Mountain." ”

Hearing this place name, Zhao Ting's heart suddenly froze, and he frowned and asked, "Old Temple Mountain?"

Zhao Tai glanced at Zhao Si, and then whispered in Zhao Ting's ear: "Brother, don't you want to study the "unknown"? I just got a piece of news that when our spirit official of Xiling County passed through Linshan County yesterday, he strayed into the mountain behind Laomiao Mountain, and encountered the second-order "ominous" in the mountain head-on, and both of them were killed. ”

"Think about it, if we rush over to pick up the leak at this moment, not only can we get the 'Chong Void Scattered' on that spirit official, but you can also harvest a second-order "ominous" corpse by the way, big brother!"

Zhao Ting's expression shook when he heard this, and he even unconsciously raised his voice a little louder: "Corpse, where did you get the news, is it reliable?"

"Brother, be quiet," Zhao Tai was a little speechless by Zhao Ting's excited expression, "People who don't know still think that the two of us are perverts." ”

"You don't care where you got the news, it's absolutely true anyway. When we get to the place, the second-order "unknown" corpse will belong to you, the "Chong Xuan San" on the spirit officer will also belong to you, and the other things will belong to me, how about it?"

"Okay," Zhao Ting nodded briskly, "Hmm...... But do you want the corpse of the spirit officer? ”

Zhao Tai was stunned and said, "Of course I don't want it, what am I going to do with the corpse......?" Big brother, you don't want to ...... ...... vomit"

“......”

Zhao Ting looked at him a little speechlessly, and said, "What about you? Anyway, if no one wants that corpse, it will eventually decay and decay, so it is better to waste it in my hands." ”

Saying that, Zhao Tingzai carefully examined Zhao Tai's entire person from top to bottom, and then said: "After I study it from head to toe and figure out where the spiritual power in your spirit bloodline comes from, I will naturally bury him in a beautiful way and give him a decent funeral, so it won't be a disadvantage to him, right?"

", brother, what do you mean?" Zhao Ting's scalp was numb when he was looked at by such a strange gaze, and Zhao Tai couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "If you want to study him, study him, what's the matter with staring at me?"

"Forehead......" Zhao Ting quickly retracted his gaze and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sick." ”

After determining the destination, the master and servant turned over their horses and went straight to the old temple mountain.

......

......

The warm sun hangs high.

The 100,000 mountains in the Qilian Mountains are undulating, and the distant peaks and near the mountains overlap and overlap into a piece, green and steep, and the clouds cover the mist. In front of thousands of mountains and ravines, on the old temple mountain nearby, a piece of dragon head rock rises thousands of feet, and the clear pond between the mountains is directly inserted, the momentum is like the head of the dragon, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Halfway up the mountain, the forest and the sea are reckless, and the snow has put on a new white coat for this mountain.

"Rustling ......"

Under the leadership of Zhao Tai, Zhao Si and his entourage slowly walked out of the forest and frightened away a few sika deer who were bowing their heads and drinking water in the mountain stream.

Zhao Tai gently brushed aside the branches and took the lead to the edge of the cliff in front.

The mountain wind is cold, the clouds and mist are flowing like autumn water in front of you, and the bottom of the mountain cliff is boundless, and you don't know how deep the valley bottom is.

"Shesheng Cliff should be here," Zhao Tai looked at the somewhat uncertain road under his feet, "I just don't know ......"

At this time, Zhao Ting and Zhao Si also followed, and asked softly, "Is it at the bottom of this valley?"

Zhao Tai nodded: "Yes." ”

"This ...... How do you go down?" Zhao Ting asked again.

Zhao Tai tilted his head and gave him a reassuring look, and said, "I know a trail that can go straight to the bottom of the valley, let's just go down the trail." ”

Seeing that his face was full of confidence, Zhao Ting was also a lot more relieved, and joked: "You know a lot." ”

"Uh...... Haha," Zhao Tai smiled meaninglessly, and said, "Let's go to the bottom quickly." ”

"Okay, let's go, Si'er. ”

"Yes. ”

After the three of them tossed for a long time, they found the quiet path hidden in the grass that Zhao Tai said behind a piece of bluestone that was a few feet high.

Along this narrow and winding path, after a quarter of an hour, all three of them had reached the bottom of the valley.

The valley floor was bare, and in the middle of it was a huge crack that meandered like a landslide, and there were still some white skeletons on both sides of the crack. Looking at its shape, there are both human bones and animal bones.

The bones were craggy and piled up, and there were still tooth marks on the skulls of several humans that had been gnawed by the teeth of beasts, and those who looked at them felt a chill down their spines.

Zhao Tai was not surprised by these things, and after carefully examining the situation around the valley, he walked straight towards the mountain wall south of the valley floor.

Zhao Ting and Zhao Si and the two behind him, seeing that they had made a move, also followed closely.

After rounding the crack at the bottom of the valley, the three of them soon came to the south of the mountain wall.

"Not here?"

When Zhao Tai arrived at the foot of the mountain wall and found that it was empty, only a pile of gray-white rocks, he suddenly showed a surprised look on his face, "How could it not be......?

"Could it be...... Something has changed the trajectory ......of things?

As soon as he thought of a certain possibility, Zhao Tai's face immediately changed drastically, and he was a little confused, he regretted that he had put Zhao Ting in such a dangerous place so rashly, and regretted that he had not come to investigate in advance.

He hurriedly turned his head, grabbed Zhao Ting's arm, and said, "Big brother, let's get out of here quickly, things have changed!"

Seeing that his face was pale, his expression was anxious, and a few drops of cold sweat were oozing slightly from the tip of his nose, with Zhao Ting's IQ, he naturally knew that the situation was wrong, he glanced at Zhao Si, and neither of the master and servant spoke to ask questions, but followed Zhao Tai and hurriedly returned to the valley along the mountain road of the original road.

Fortunately, the worst situation expected by Zhao Tai did not happen, and the three of them came and went back in a hurry, and they successfully withdrew from the bottom of the valley and returned to the top of the cliff.

Standing beside the big bluestone on the edge of the cliff, Zhao Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was slightly restrained.

After all, if this trip kills Zhao Ting, then even if he survives, I'm afraid he will have to spend the rest of his life with regrets.

It's okay, it's okay, it's lucky.

The three of them leaned on the bluestone and gasped for a while, and Zhao Taicai said with a serious expression: "Big brother, let's go down the mountain quickly, and we'll talk about it when we go out." ”

"Good. ”

Zhao Ting didn't ask much, but obediently followed him, and the three of them went into the old forest they passed when they came.

After the three of them gradually moved away from the valley, Zhao Tai's expression finally relaxed completely.

"It seems that the news is wrong," after holding it for a long time, Zhao Tai finally held back an explanation, "Brother, "Chong Xuan San" ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get it for the time being. ”

Although Zhao Ting was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't show it, but nodded his head to show understanding.

However, Zhao Tai looked quite guilty at this time, and muttered, "This ...... I can't figure it out, I haven't ......missed it before."

At this time, Zhao Si interjected and said, "Second Master, where did you buy your news? It can't be that you were deceived, right?"

Although Zhao Si did not know the purpose of the trip, and Zhao Ting did not tell him, this did not prevent him from questioning the reliability of Zhao Tai's news channels.

When Zhao Tai heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Master, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how can I be deceived?"

"But ......"

"But what? Hold back the rest of the words. ”

“......”

After robbing Zhao Si of the white, Zhao Tai's mood improved a lot.

Just when he wanted to turn his head and talk to Zhao Ting behind him, he realized that

Zhao Ting disappeared at some point!

The already dense and impermeable forest suddenly darkened, and the spots of sunlight that had just been cast on the forest were all replaced by shadows in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Tai's face suddenly darkened, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Si, who was still talking to him just now,

There was nothing around him.

Zhao Si is also gone!

"Click......"

Before Zhao Tai could turn around, there was already a sharp sound on the branch of a towering tree in front of him, like a baby sneezing, which continued to echo in the forest, and the aftermath was endless, and the listeners were terrified.

Zhao Tai heard the sound and looked, only to see that on the first branch of this ancient tree closest to the ground, a yellow-skinned man with gray-white fur and the size of a calf stood on the branch facing him like a human, and the pair of scarlet and terrifying rat eyes were staring at him tightly at this time, looking ready to attack.

......

......

The other side.

Zhao Ting stopped Zhao Si with a smile and said, "Si'er, don't say it, be careful that your second master will be annoyed and angry for a while, and he will directly throw you down from this mountain, and at that time, I won't be able to stop him." ”

"Uh......" Zhao Si turned his head and said stupidly: "Okay, the villain is just worried that the second master will be deceived." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be poor, go down the mountain quickly. ”

Zhao Si nodded, turned his head to look at the mountain road ahead, and at this glance, he was suddenly surprised: "Hey, where is the second master?"

Hearing his words, Zhao Ting turned his head to look at the position where Zhao Tai was standing.

There is nothing there, where is there any shadow of Zhao Tai?

"This ......" Zhao Ting was also stunned, "Xiao Tai won't be ......"

As he was speaking, Zhao Si's voice sounded again, but this time it was with a little frightened cry: "Master, that's ...... What's that?"

Zhao Ting was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction that Zhao Si was pointing.

I saw that under an old pine tree with bare branches, the black soil covered with snow was actually loosened by something. Immediately afterward, a fleshless gray-white bone hand poked out of the dirt first.

The snow-white skull, in the two dark eye sockets on the skull, there is actually a black eyeball that has not completely decayed, and the polyps on the eyeballs are connected with the rotten stinky flesh in the eye sockets.

Half of the mutilated body that was gnawed, and two thigh bones with white bones.

This corpse, which had obviously been dead for an unknown amount of time, actually crawled out of the soil, and was staggering towards the two masters and servants of Zhao Ting step by step.

Zhao Si was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were weak and he collapsed directly to the ground, and at the same time he cried and shouted: "Master, there are ghosts......"

"Amitabha Amitabha ......"

Seeing that Zhao Si was sitting on the ground and reciting Buddhist scriptures in this situation, Zhao Ting struck the top of his head with a look of hatred, and scolded: "You read a hammer?"

"The Buddha is far away in the western sky, can he still come up here to save you?

"I ......"

Seeing that Zhao Si was still hesitating, Zhao Ting reached out and pulled him up, and then he stepped forward in front of Zhao Si and confronted the skeleton corpse that was approaching.

As he walked, the half of the polyp in the left eye socket of the skeleton corpse that was pulling the eyeball suddenly broke, and a black eyeball suddenly fell from its eye socket and rolled to Zhao Ting's feet.

Even though it fell out, the black eyeball was still blinking, like a living thing.

Just when Zhao Ting wanted to lean over and pick up this eyeball to check it, Zhao Si's timid voice came from behind him: "Master, this monster seems to be walking very slowly, let's ...... Let's run. ”

Seeing that he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, Zhao Ting also extinguished his mind of fighting with the skeleton monster in front of him, he turned around and comforted: "Okay, let's go." ”

"Don't be afraid, you see that his speed is slower than a turtle, how can he catch up with you and me?"

Zhao Sizhan trembled and said, "What Gongzi said is true." ”

The two walked forward for a while, and after getting rid of the skeleton corpse, Zhao Si suddenly turned sideways and said, "Master, you should walk in front, the villain is afraid." ”

"I'm walking in front, are you afraid?" Zhao Ting glanced at Zhao Si in surprise.

After a while, he still agreed to Zhao Si's strange request, crossed over to Zhao Si's side, and said, "That's it, since you are afraid, then let the master walk in front and open the way for you." ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to Zhao Si, but took the lead alone, and asked as he walked: "Si'er, do you remember what the master told you, what is the master's favorite thing?"

After asking this sentence, Zhao Si didn't answer for a long time. So Zhao Ting turned around slowly and looked at Zhao Si behind him.

I saw that "Zhao Si" was standing in the original place without moving half a step, with a pair of round eyes and an extended neck, staring at Zhao Ting's left foot hanging in the air without blinking.

Looking at the strange look on his face, it seemed that he desperately hoped that Zhao Ting would step on this foot.

Seeing this, Zhao Ting's heart tightened, and he withdrew his left foot expressionlessly, and said at the same time: "Si'er, what about you, why don't you squeak?"

"Zhao Si" saw that he withdrew his foot, the disappointed look in his eyes flashed, and the eager expression on Fang Cai's face was also covered by him in an instant, and the whole person returned to a normal demeanor.

"Huh, villain...... The villain doesn't know!"

"I don't know?" The dragon tooth in Zhao Ting's sleeve slipped silently into the palm of his hand, and he clenched the dragon tooth, his face tense.

At this moment, the skeleton corpse that had just come out of the soil suddenly appeared not far away, and pressed towards the two of them step by step.

"Master, run quickly...... The villain is cut off for you!"

Seeing that the expression on "Zhao Si's" face suddenly became a little tragic, Zhao Ting sneered, strode towards the skeleton corpse, and said at the same time: "Master told you, what Lord likes most is ghosts!"

As he spoke, he kicked the skeleton corpse in front of him, directly kicking its body that was about to fall apart and scattering to the ground.

Then, he turned his head to look at "Zhao Si" with a surprised face, and the dragon tooth in his hand did not hesitate at all, and smashed it towards "Zhao Si" on the head.

Puff~

As soon as the dragon tooth came into contact with the body of "Zhao Si", the whole person of "Zhao Si" turned into a gray mist, which gradually dispersed with the wind.

At the same time, Zhao Ting's eyes suddenly swirled, and the pine forests around him and the narrow mountain road in front of him all changed their appearance.

The space next to him was empty at this time, with a large bluestone standing a height of a zhang on the left and a cliff on the right!

"Huhu~"

The cold wind under the cliff blew like a knife in his face.
