Chapter 52: Peach Blossom Stream

"Let's go back, Boss Yang's carrier pigeon should arrive in the morning. ”

When the two returned to the courtyard, the sky was already white. The two of them, who had not slept all night, did not feel sleepy, lit the lamp, and began to check the maps and letters they had found in the cellar.

Wang Jifei picked up a letter that had been opened and read it.

This is a letter written by **Fai to the Yip sisters at the end of November. Wang Jifei looked down slowly, only to see that it was written:

Seeing the words like faces, I haven't seen them for more than a month, and I think about my brother. Today, when I heard that Lan Mei's secret technique was powerful, and she got the natal beast red-tailed thousand-legged centipede, my brother was very happy.

The destruction of the military equipment of the Eastern Wu Kingdom was very successful, and you and others made great contributions. The master will send Wu Zishu here in the near future......

Seeing this, Wang Jifei thought to himself. This Ye Lan sisters are really working as connectors in Qingshi Village, this Wu Zishu mentioned last time, they are the ones who awakened the natal beast, it seems that their status is not low, and they don't know what realm. There should be a big move when she comes.

The content that followed surprised Wang Jifei, this ** Hui actually said that the breathing technique might be part of Qingyuan Jue, so that the two of them should not give up searching.

What's going on?

It turned out that the elders of ** Hui had heard of a technique that was very similar to Shi Yuan's breathing technique, which was the Qingyuan Jue of Tianyan Sect. Combined with the rumors in the village, ** Hui believes that the token must exist.

It seems that after returning to the town this time, you need to check the clay sculpture of the God of Wealth again, and the old village chief should not have lied to people before he died.

As for why you don't just tell him where the exercises are, it should be considered a test. Wang Jifei can only think so.

Typical eyes do not know gold and jade, this clay sculpture was thrown in the room by him and was going to be moldy, and he actually forgot about it. Thinking that he had wasted so much time with a treasure, Wang Jifei was so depressed that he wanted to cut himself.

Turning to the last page and looking down, it said two things, the first thing was to make an appointment for them to meet in the town on December 20, and the other thing said that there was an anomaly near the peach blossom stream, let them check it.

Peach Blossom Stream, Wang Jifei knew that it was located fifty miles northwest of Qingshi Village, which was already the periphery of the Xiaoqinglong Mountain Range. Peach Blossom Creek is located at the foot of a mountain called Black Tiger Mountain, and there is a waterfall that descends from a 100-meter height from the mountain stream at the cleft. Named after the peach trees that grow in the mountain stream, hunters in the village visit here in spring and summer to collect the nectar of the mountain peach blossoms that are fed by bees.

Putting down the letter, Wang Jifei picked up the map.

According to the direction, he quickly found the Black Tiger Mountain on the northwest side of Qingshi Village on the map, and there was a small circle drawn with a red pen at the foot of the mountain. It seems that this letter is talking about this peach blossom stream.

Rubbing his head, seeing that Yan Zhutou was still seriously checking other letters, Wang Jifei didn't bother him, picked up another book and read it.

This is a roster with a lot of names recorded on it, and Wang Jifei doesn't know many people. On the first page, the names of the big people in Shimen Town are written, and the names of the town mayor Zhu Guangmao, the school captain Li Xinlong, and the names of Yang Yuanhua of Baihu are suddenly listed.

Turning through the pages carefully, on the fourth page, Wang Jifei saw Wu Sheng's name, with a red √ on it, and the third son of the Wu family was noted on the back, lustful and wealthy. It seems that this is a roster of important people in Shimen Town, noting everyone's personality, hobbies, etc.

It seems that the person with the red tick has been rebelled.

Then looking down, Wang Jifei saw a lot of characters with red ticks. Xu Lihu's name is also on it, and a black × is drawn on the red hook, indicating that he is dead.

Hey, Feng Anlin, Feng Bo is also there, why only have red hooks, no black forks. Aren't they dead?

Well, this booklet should have been obtained by Ye Lan and the others after they left the village in November, when the father and son were not dead.

After reading this roster, Wang Jifei felt a chill in his heart, whether it was the more than thirty big red hooks on it, or the notes behind everyone, it meant that a huge conspiracy shrouded Shimen Town.

......

After opening a few more letters, Wang Jifei's heart gradually sank into the abyss. All kinds of clues indicate that a great crisis is coming.

When Wang Jifei raised his head after reading the last book, he saw that Yan Zhutou, whose face was gloomy as if shrouded in dark clouds, was also looking at him.

"Ah Fei, what do you think......" Yan Zhutou, who had been silent for a long time, asked slowly, his voice revealing incomparably solemnity.

"The storm is coming, and the danger is like a tired egg. Wang Jifei didn't know what to say, and his anger could only turn into eight heavy words.

"Alas!" Hearing his words, Yan Zhutou sighed. "These things have to be reported as soon as possible. We've got to get back. ”

"What about Ye Mei'er, she will definitely not be able to go far if she is injured. Surely she will be able to ask for a lot of news?"

"This mountain is so big, it's hard to find, now I have to give up on her. Yan Zhutou shook his head.

"Uncle Yan, look here. Wang Jifei pointed to the circle on the map with one hand and took out the letter with the other. "Uncle Yan, this is the peach blossom stream in the letter. Everyone in the village knows it. ”

"Do you suspect Ye Mei'er went there?" Yan Zhutou picked up the letter and read it for a while, then put it down and asked Wang Jifei.

"Hmm. ”

After looking at the distance, Yan Zhutou thought for a moment.

"Fifty miles, let's come and go for a day. In this way, let's rest for half a day. When the pigeons came back, we sent them back with a focus on the situation. You must rush back to the town by the night after tomorrow and hand over these things to Yang Baihu. “

Then the two of them began to tidy up their things.

The sound of birds waving their wings came from outside the window, and it was a carrier pigeon.

After feeding the pigeons, they stuffed the dense strips of paper with small letters written on them into the letter box between the pigeon's legs. Wang Jifei patted its head and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Watching the carrier pigeon fly into the distance. The two went to Yin Qiang's house to say goodbye, and then rushed to Taohuajian.

......

Hurried all the way, and by the time the two of them could see Black Tiger Mountain from afar, it was already evening. Wiping his sweat, Wang Ji flew with great eyesight, identified the location of the peach blossom stream and continued to move forward.

The water was murmuring, the twilight was heavy, and through the bare peach trees at the mouth of the mountain stream, Wang Jifei and Yan Zhutou came to the bottom of the waterfall.

After looking around, the two found nothing. Except for the sound of the water, the whole mountain stream is as quiet as a ghost.

Looking at the waterfall that was dry and waterless in winter and became only tiny, Wang Jifei couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Could it be that if you run in vain, this peach blossom stream is not the peach blossom stream?

Wang Jifei, who was unwilling to run in vain, looked at the stone walls on both sides and said to Yan Zhutou.

"Uncle Yan, you look down there, I'll climb up and take a look. ”

The nearly 100-meter-high stone wall is full of strange rocks and withered vines. This is nothing to Wang Jifei, who is already a first-class martial artist.

Seven or eight minutes later, he was already halfway up the cliff. Squatting on a protruding stone, Wang Jifei looked to the left and right, but there was still nothing abnormal, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

At this moment, a gust of mountain wind with a foul smell like rotten flesh blew from the left side. Wang Jifei, who was caught off guard, was almost smoked by this stench.

Fortunately, after the mountain wind, the stench slowly dissipated.

What's going on, where did the smell come from on this stone? Following the faint smell, Wang Jifei slowly climbed to the left.

Twenty meters away, the stench became more and more obvious. Wang Jifei's heart tightened, there was a situation.

Sure enough, following the direction of the smell, Wang Jifei found an inconspicuous hole in the dense withered vines.

"Uncle Yan, I have a situation here. ”

A moment later, Yan Zhutou had already arrived at the entrance of the cave like an agile ape.

He took out his torch and looked inside, and there were dried and blackened blood stains on the ground slightly inside the hole, and the stench made people vomit.

Glancing at each other, Wang Jifei tore off a few dead vines, lit them with torches, and threw them in.

Wang Jifei knows that there is a saying called stabbing a hornet's nest, which is a metaphor that annoys **.

Unexpectedly, these withered vines were stabbed into a real hornet's nest, and by the light of the withered vines, the two saw that there were several decomposed corpses in the cave. On the corpse, the mountain wall was covered with dense mountain bees, each of which was the size of an adult mouse.

After the flames burned several mountain bees, there was a loud "buzzing" sound in the cave. All the bees were awakened and flew out quickly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two hurriedly extinguished the torches, jumped and climbed, and quickly came to the bottom of the mountain stream.

Fortunately, it was getting late, and the bees only circled around the entrance of the cave for a while after the torches were extinguished, and then flew back into the cave.

Looking at the black mountain bee colony, the faces of Wang Jifei and Yan Zhutou changed again and again.

How many mountain bees are this? How did the hunters who collected honey at the beginning of the year come in? You must know that those hunters are at most the realm of second-class martial artists.

After telling Yan Zhutou about the doubts in his heart, Yan Zhutou stared at the entrance of the cave and thought for a while. Slowly coming to the bottom of the cave entrance, there are a few mountain bees on the ground that hit the stone wall and fell to their deaths.

"Ah Fei, did the people in your village say that this mountain bee is so big? Yan Zhutou pointed to a few giant peaks that were not yet dead and asked.

Looking at the inch-long black thorn on the tail of the mouse-sized mountain bee, Wang Jifei shook his head. Picked up a piece of dead vine, tentatively touched the black thorn with a metallic luster, only to hear a "poof", the dying mountain bee nerve reflex, suddenly popped out the black thorn, and shot into the withered vine half a finger deep.

The dead vines in the mountains are so tough that an average adult can't cut them with all his might. This shows how sharp the blackthorn is.

A mountain bee is okay, and the warrior can also dodge with his agility. How do you hide from the black thorns shot by mountain bees that can cover the sky......

Each black thorn has the power of a standard crossbow, and there are more than 30,000 of these mountain bees, which is the power of three battalions of crossbows fired at one time.

What should I do? The dead body in this cave should be the person mentioned in the **Hui letter. The anomaly is estimated to refer to these mountain bees.

At this time, Yan Zhutou spoke.

"Ah Fei, look at the size of these mountain bees, I guess they have changed. Their queen bee is estimated to have become a monster. ”

"Even if it's just a third-class demon beast, the number of this mountain bee is too terrifying. That's the horror of insect monsters. At this, both fell silent.
