Chapter 10: The Deadly Centipede
Out of this Yao Emperor City, Yan Lang has officially embarked on the journey of Yuechi Kingdom, and the fat man has not left Yao Emperor City for many years, according to his words, he has been scattered and cultivated, and the four seas are his home, Yan Lang is his brother and eldest brother, and he wants to follow Yan Lang to the end of the world to help find memories. Yan Lang knows that he doesn't have much friendship with the fat man, in fact, the fat man is interested in his own strength and wants to follow the side to rub the benefits, although so, Yan Lang is also happy, after all, the fat man is not bad except for the pleasure of his tongue, maybe the two can really become friends in the future, and judging from the current situation, there are many things that still need to be consulted by the fat man.
Out of the Yao Emperor City is a vast grassland, the grassland is wide, at a glance, there will be no bandits and robbers at all, the group is happy and relaxed, chatting all the way to each other is also familiar, only the man who followed Qin Mengli closely has never said a word to everyone, if it is not for the communication between him and Qin Mengli, everyone almost thinks that he is a mute.
Seeing that it was already past noon, the group rested for a while, during which Qin Mengli invited Su Zhe to go and didn't know what to discuss, but after Su Zhe came back, his face seemed a little wrong and he didn't speak, so the group spent a leisurely day without incident.
Until noon the next day, the grassland was no longer visible, and the girl in the carriage lifted the curtain and asked the man who had been following the carriage closely, "Escort Jiang, where is this place?"
Escort Jiang replied respectfully: "Miss Qiyu, we have gone out of the range of Emperor Yao City to the junction of Lianqiu. ”
"It's time to get to Lianqiu, you go and ask Brother Su Zhe to come over. Qin Mengli commanded.
"Yes"
After Su Zhe passed, Qin Mengli said something to him softly, and seeing Su Zhe nodded, Qin Mengli returned to the carriage.
When Su Zhe came back, someone asked, "Brother Su, what did this Miss Qin tell you?"
Su Zhe said: "It's nothing, just ask how long it will take to arrive, now after the grassland, the front of the mountain road cookies, bandits and robbers like this kind of place, everyone cheer up, you must not leave the team without permission, follow me, to ensure that you arrive in Yuechi Country safely." ”
From the very beginning, Yan Lang always felt that something was wrong, but although it was a little strange to see Su Zhe and Qin Mengli along the way, he had been safe and sound, without any waves, Yan Lang even thought that he felt wrong, until the fat man suddenly said to Yan Lang on the third day.
"Strange, this doesn't seem to be the way to the country of Yuechi. ”
Yan Lang was suddenly shocked and asked, "It's not the way to Yuechi Country, where is it going?"
The fat man said: "Although I haven't been to the country of Yuechi for many years, I still remember this road, this road is definitely not the road to the country of Yuechi, but it is like the road to the Black Mountains." ”
"Are you sure?"
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "Sure, this must be the way to the Black Mountains." ”
Sure enough, they had another purpose, Yan Lang immediately walked to the front and stopped the group, everyone was puzzled, Su Zhe said, "Brother Yan, is there something wrong?"
Yan Lang said with a smile: "I want to ask Brother Su Zhe, where is this taking us?"
Su Zhe replied: "Naturally, we are escorting Miss Mengli back to the country of Yuechi, why is Brother Yan still unclear about this mission?"
"But as far as I know, this road doesn't seem to be the road to the country of Yuechi, but to the black mountain range, right?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a fried pot, and everyone talked about it.
"Black Mountains, that's the land of death. ”
"I said, why doesn't it feel right all the time? This is not the way to the country of Yuechi. ”
"Yes, I once went to the country of Yuechi, but this road is not right, I thought I couldn't remember it for too long, it turned out to be true. ”
"Brother Su, what the hell is going on? Aren't we going to the Yuechi Country? How can we go to the Black Mountain Range?"
Everyone kept pointing and asking Su Zhe, and Su Zhe didn't know how to explain and was speechless for a while.
"I asked Brother Su to go like this. ”
Everyone immediately heard the sound and looked over.
At this time, the carriage had stopped, and the girl Qin Mengli walked out: "This is my idea, you can ask me any questions." ”
Qin Mengli was indeed beautiful and moving, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention, and he didn't ask loudly, politely: "This, Miss Mengli, aren't you in a hurry to go back to that Yuechi country, why do you suddenly want to go to the Black Mountain Range?"
Qin Mengli said: "Yes, the little woman is going back to Yuechi Country, but she suddenly remembered that there is something that must be completed in the black mountain range, so she temporarily changed her route." ”
"The Black Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, ordinary people won't go there at all, I don't know what Miss Qin has to go there to complete, you must know that going to that kind of place is not just going to come out if you want to. Yan Lang stood up and asked.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone began to talk about it again.
"Everyone listen to me" Seeing everyone like this, Qin Mengli shouted: "I know that the sudden change of itinerary has caused a lot of confusion to you, but the little woman has something unspeakable, but what we are going to is only the edge of the black mountain range will not go deeper, as long as you are willing to go, I promise to pay one thousand taels of silver per person as a mud supplement, I don't know what you think." ”
Money is really the most useful in the lower classes, and when they heard that it was going to be added by one thousand taels, the people who had been retreating began to hesitate again.
"I don't think the black mountains are as terrifying as they seem. ”
"Miss Mengli also said that only to the edge of the mountain range, there should be no danger, or go. ”
"Then go ahead. And they all took counsel and said they were willing to go.
Qin Mengli looked at Yan Lang and said, "Then Brother Yan Lang, what about you?"
Yan Lang looked at the fat man, and the fat man signaled that Yan Lang was in charge, which was really beyond Yan Lang's expectations, but he didn't expect Qin Mengli to convince everyone so easily, money is really a good thing. Although this black mountain range has a dead land, since this Qin Mengli is so determined to go, he must have something to rely on, thinking of this, Yan Lang replied: "Then Yan will accompany the girl Mengli to go on a journey." ”
"Then I think about Brother Yan more. After Qin Mengli finished speaking, he returned to the carriage.
Everyone hit the road again, and the fat man asked earnestly, "What does Brother Yan think of entering the Black Mountain Range this time?"
Yan Lang teased: "Hey, fatty, you won't be afraid, aren't you excited about two thousand taels of silver?"
The fat man said seriously: "Although I love money, fat man, I still have a clear distinction between money and life." ”
"Then you go along. ”
The fat man smiled: "Isn't this Brother Yan, wherever you go, the fat man will go, and his love is stronger than Jin." ”
Yan Lang put away his smile: "I hope it's okay." ”
...
The continuous black mountain range is like a black dragon hovering over the earth, the length is thousands of kilometers, the entire mountain range is shrouded in darkness, full of dangerous information, the group is about to step into the area of the black mountain range, one by one looks nervous, the mountain road cookie Qin Mengli has already abandoned the carriage and walked, the maid and the Jiang guard followed closely.
Although it was the edge of the mountain range, Yan Langfang felt a little uneasy as soon as he entered, and pulled the fat man aside and said carefully: "This black mountain range is really weird, I don't know what danger I will encounter next, you follow me, if the situation is not right, don't hesitate to run directly." ”
The fat man seemed to have a deep understanding, and looked at the grass and trees around him very cautiously, without a trace of the bohemianty of the past, he was afraid that something would jump out, and when he heard Yan Lang screaming, he felt that he was following closely and wanted to stick it up.
It was noon, but when you entered the black mountain range, it was as dark as night, and there were many trees hugging the sky, blocking all the daylight.
"What the hell is this place, and there is not even a ray of sunlight shining in. ”
"Be careful, there's bugs underneath this rotting leaf. ”
Walking on the fluffy rotten leaves, everyone began to be cautious.
"Miss Mengli, how far do we have to go, didn't we say that we were only on the periphery? Someone couldn't help but ask.
Qin Mengli stepped on the rotten leaves with a disgusted face, and when she heard someone shouting, she shook her shoes and walked to a small piece of clean ground and said, "Let's walk five hundred meters inside, if we don't find that I want to find something, we will quit." ”
"Five hundred meters, then walk five hundred meters, no more, this place is really not for people. ”
Everyone continued to move forward, and Yan Lang followed behind unhurriedly, always vigilant behind him.
Suddenly, in the silence of the forest, a scream startled everyone.
I saw a person walking in front of him suddenly fall down, and his whole body kept writhing.
"It's Wang Xing. Someone shouted.
"What's going on?" Su Zhe quickly ran over to pick him up.
"Don't move. Yan Lang shouted.
Su Zhe immediately stopped and looked at Yan Lang.
Yan Lang walked over and patted Su Zhe on the shoulder: "I'll come." ”
Looking at the ground, Wang Xing's face was black, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he had changed from frantic writhing at the beginning to constant convulsions.
"Poisoned" Yan Lang said: "Dissipate your anger, the Lord has not left yet." ”
Everyone who wanted to get closer immediately took a few steps back when they heard this, Yan Lang picked up the sword and carefully swiped it on Wang Xing's clothes, and when he drew the knee of his right leg, Yan Lang quickly stabbed it, and suddenly there was a colorful centipede on the tip of the sword.
"The colorful centipede is extremely poisonous and incurable, and if the bitten person is not suppressed by extremely strong true qi, he will die within a few minutes. ”
Looking at Wang Xing, his blackened face had completely turned black-brown, and he was lifeless.
