"Deputy Steward Lin, there don't seem to be inns and villages around here! Are we going to sleep out in the wild tonight? In the dusk sunset, riding on horseback, letting the horses under him walk forward slowly, Lin Xiaoyang looked around and asked Lin Zhiwu, who was riding side by side with him.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiwu also looked around, and then looked up at the already dark sky.

I saw Lin Zhiwu suddenly rein in the horse's reins and said to Lin Xiaoyang: "Young Master Lin, let's stop here and rest for the night!" A few years ago, my grandfather and I came here, and further on, it was a dense forest, the forest was a little deep, and there were fierce beasts in the forest, if it was not afraid during the day, but it would be very dangerous to walk in the forest at night. I know that Lin Gongzi's martial arts are strong and he is not afraid of those fierce beasts, but our itinerary is not in a hurry, more things are better than less things, so let's rest here for one night first, and wait for dawn before we go! ”

Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu were riding horses on a forest path at this time, the path was lined with trees, and the woods on both sides of the path were still sparse, and the more they went inside, the denser the woods became, and when they reached the depths of the woods, it was dark and misty, and it was impossible to see what was there.

The path under the horse's hooves winds its way forward, occasionally turning a corner, and when the bend has passed, it is still a path that winds forward, as if there is no end.

Regarding Lin Zhiwu's suggestion, Lin Xiaoyang did not object, and very obediently strangled the reins of the horse with Lin Zhiwu.

After the first poisoning incident, Lin Xiaoyang can almost be said to be the first to look at Lin Zhiwu, as long as Lin Zhiwu said it, Lin Xiaoyang basically focuses on obedience and never says a word.

Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang got off their horses one after the other, led the horses to the woods on the side of the trail and tied them carefully, and then packed their bags.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiwu has always had the foresight, and no matter where he goes, he will prepare dry food and drinking water for the next journey. At this moment, even if the two of them can't find a place to stay, no one provides them with food and no need to hunt game, and they can't be hungry with Lin Zhiwu's pre-prepared dry food and drinking water.

After Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu cleaned up a vacant land in the forest, they went to pick up some hay and branches to make a fire, and when the fire was lit, the two sat around the fire, eating the dry food prepared by Lin Zhiwu in advance, while chatting in the sky and on the ground.

"Young Master Lin, I heard that you seem to have some relationship with the Lin family, a martial arts family in Nanling County, Jiangnan?" After chatting, Lin Zhiwu shifted the topic to Lin Xiaoyang. Although he had heard Zhu Zimo mention Lin Xiaoyang's life experience for a long time, Lin Zhiwu still wanted to hear Lin Xiaoyang talk about it himself.

When Lin Xiaoyang heard this, he did not hide it, and said truthfully: "I am the youngest son of the Lin family, and my father is Lin Ao, the current head of the Lin family. When I was a child, I was bitten by a poisonous snake when I was about four or five years old, and it was the master who saved me, and I don't know what the master said to my father, anyway, when I woke up, my father asked me to go with the master, and told me not to make the master trouble, let alone make the master angry, and to be obedient as at home. Later, I followed the master, but I didn't expect that this trip would be eighteen years......"

"Lin Gongzi will go back this time, your father and mother will be very happy to see you." Lin Zhiwu said with a smile.

However, Lin Xiaoyang didn't seem to be very happy, and only heard him say sullenly: "Actually, I don't really want to go back, my mother only has the eldest brother in my eyes, except for my father, the only second brother who is good to me in the family, because he is weak and can't practice martial arts, he has been sent to another hospital to recuperate by his mother since he was a child, and he can meet two or three times a year." But it's different on Qinshan, in the past eighteen years, the master has treated me no worse than my father, although sometimes he is very strict, but I really want to hurt somewhere, and the master who is most worried about me is the master. And the senior brother and the second senior brother, although they are not my own siblings, they are very good to me. Although the senior brother occasionally likes to tease me, but every time I come up to the top of Qinshan, the senior brother will always bring me a lot of food that I like, the top of Qinshan is hundreds of zhang high, no matter how good the senior brother's light body kung fu is, it is very tiring to climb with so much food on his back. As for the second senior brother, whenever I encounter a problem that I don't understand and ask the second senior brother, the second senior brother will tell me carefully, even if I ask the same question three or four times, the second senior brother will never bother me, and will still patiently tell me until I fully understand. Whether it is the master, the senior brother, or the second senior brother, I clearly understand how good they are to me! ”

"But Lin Gongzi still has to go back and take a look, after all, your father is too deeply poisoned, and he may ...... When this martial arts conference is over, if Lin Gongzi doesn't like this mortal world, he can go back to Qinshan. After listening to Lin Xiaoyang's words, Lin Zhiwu was comforted.

Lin Zhiwu actually understands Lin Xiaoyang's mood very well, why wasn't Zhu Zimo in such a mood back then? was disgusted by his biological father and framed by his mother again and again, but Zhu Zimo couldn't confide in his mother-in-law Liu Ruyun for all the suffering, so he could only bear it silently.

In those years, although Zhu Zimo smiled every day, Lin Zhiwu could see clearly, Zhu Zimo's smile never came from the heart, only every time he had to set off for Qinshan, Zhu Zimo's smile became real, Lin Zhiwu knew that it was because Zhu Zimo was really happy.

Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu's side is still good, but what about Mu Ziru's side?

**

Walking along the dirt road about a meter wide along the entrance of the village to the village, Mu Ziru held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds around him while walking, but unfortunately, Mu Ziru didn't hear any suspicious sounds for a long time, as if this village was really an empty village.

In this way, he walked along the dirt road to the village, and Mu Ziru walked to a relatively flat and wide place in the interior of the village, which seemed to be the barnyard of this village.

At this moment, on the barn field, there are still some old rice and wheat ears scattered and dry, and those rice and wheat ears occupy a position in the barn field in different shapes.

Judging from the ears of rice and wheat that have not yet been harvested, it is enough to prove that this village is by no means an uninhabited village!

Suddenly, there was a slight unusual sound in his ears, although it was slight, but it was still heard by Mu Ziru, who had been holding his breath. Moreover, the originally fresh air with the aroma of grass and earth suddenly mixed with a faint fragrance that is not easy for ordinary people to perceive.

The fragrance is like the fragrance of orchid and the fragrance of jasmine, but no matter what kind of fragrance it is, it is very faint and faint, and unless the sense of smell is very keen, you can't smell that fragrance at all.

However, Mu Ziru is a well-known ghost doctor in the rivers and lakes, and his sense of smell can be said to be the keenest in the world.

Mu Ziru not only smelled the extremely faint fragrance, but also smelled out what the fragrance was exuding!

A dashing turn, when he saw the scene behind him, the corners of Mu Ziru's mouth suddenly hooked up a smile that was even more evil than before, and Mu Ziru's eyes also flashed with bloodthirsty light - as he expected!

As far as his thoughts came, after Mu Ziru suddenly turned around, what he saw was standing, no, to be precise, it was a group of people floating! Why is it floating? Because the toes of the people are off the ground!!

The group of people floated less than the length of a palm, but it was enough to see that they were not standing on the ground like ordinary people.

Faced with such a strange scene, Mu Ziru glanced at the people floating in the air very indifferently-

I saw that the group of people all hung their heads weakly, unable to see their faces clearly, their hands were also weakly hanging at their sides, and their backs were slightly bent forward, looking a little rickety. And the only exposed hands seem to have no flesh and blood, only a thin layer of skin wraps around the bones, if you look closely, the bones under the skin seem to be piercing the skin at any time and come out, looking a little crazy.

Judging from the way they are dressed and hairdressed, this group of people should be the villagers of this village, and there are both men, women and children.

In the distance, there are a few spring swallows gliding by with their wings outstretched, and in the distance, there are connected pieces of black tile eaves and a group of villagers floating in the air.

Suddenly, the group of villagers who had just been floating quietly in the air moved!

I saw that the group of villagers took Mu Ziru as the center point, and quickly scattered around, and in a short time, a small encirclement was formed, and Mu Ziru was firmly surrounded in the center of the encirclement.

Looking around at the villagers who seemed to want to besiege him, Mu Ziru saw those villagers raise their heads in unison at this time-

It was a skinny face, with a very sallow face, an expressionless face, and empty eyes.

Xiao only glanced at Mu Ziru and knew that such a face should not appear on a living person, so this group of people is a group of living dead!

The living dead, as the name suggests, is a kind of existence between the living and the dead, this kind of living dead is generally cultivated by the Wu clan in the corpse of a mass grave, and then the adult insect Gu is planted into the body of the living person and born.

The living dead do not touch the ground, and are accustomed to go out by day and night, and attack passers-by who pass by the corpse grounds until they are drained of their flesh.

Something like this appeared on a large scale in the western Xinjiang of Dazhang a hundred years ago, and many local villages were persecuted, and rivers of blood flowed, and then they were strangled in all aspects by the assembled team of the martial arts righteous path, and this kind of thing has long been extinct in the past hundred years.

"Interesting! Did the Wu Clan's stuff actually run out? Looking at the group of living dead, Mu Ziru hooked his lips and spit out this sentence with a wicked smile.

As soon as Mu Ziru's words fell, five of the villagers floating in the air suddenly rose to the ground and floated above the heads of the villagers.

I saw that the bodies of the five people leaned forward by nearly 100 degrees, stretched out their withered hands that were bent like sharp claws, and swooped straight down at Mu Ziru, that posture seemed to want to tear Mu Ziru apart with their hands!
