Chapter 176: Sigh
Although the inner courtyard of the Xue Mansion guards Xu is in charge.
It's He Fu Li guarding this matter.
So that Jin An can't fully digest it in a short time.
It always feels like it's magical.
But fortunately, in the past few months, Jin An has never seen any battles, but it is not difficult for him to accept.
"Escort Li, tell me honestly, what is your real name?"
"Lee?"
"Xu?"
"Which is your real name?"
Li Huwei slapped his chest thumping, saying that he would not change his name or change his surname, of course his surname was Li, his real name was Li Luotian, Jin An immediately hehe, I believed you and said: "Why don't you call the righteous Li, the rightful Li?"
Jin An's words were originally expressed in reverse, which means that you Li Huwei can even change your appearance, isn't it natural to change your name and surname?
I don't know.
Li Huwei didn't know if he really didn't hear Jin An's stove god sticking to the door god - there was a painting in the painting, after listening to Jin An's words, Li Huwei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled.
"Good!. β
"Justifiably, of course, this is good. β
"Since ancient times, how many heroic teenagers, geniuses and junjies, in the end, they have lost in middle age and cannot be straight, angry, and strong, and I will be called Li Suo in the future, Li is straight and strong. β
Looking at Escort Li, who was so thick-skinned, a few black lines hung down on Jin An's head.
"If the mule doesn't get down, it can also be called justified, right?"
The old Taoist priest laughed out loud by Jin An's afterwords, and erected a big sow for Jin An, saying that the magic is one foot high and one foot high, or the little brother, you are awesome, one after another.
Next, under the leadership of Li Huwei, Jin An and the old Taoist priest were in the lower courtyard of the Xue Mansion and saw the person ID specially found by Li Huwei.
They began interrogating the men overnight for any possible clues about Headless Village.
These people are all members of the Xue family who followed Xue Xiong to hunt in the mountains a year ago.
Xue Xiong, as the eldest young master of the Xue family, often takes a month or two to hunt in the mountains.
And in the past two months, making fires and cooking, laundry and setting up accounts, they will definitely not let the eldest young master of the Xue family do it himself.
Therefore, a year ago, the eldest young master of the Xue family went into the mountains to hunt, in addition to the accompanying several martial arts masters and martial artists raised by the Xue family, he also brought a large number of accompanying ordinary servants and several doctors in the business of the medical hall opened by the Xue family themselves.
These servants are all ordinary people, who are only responsible for the fire and cooking of the eldest young master of the Xue family in the wild, eating and living, that is, the logistics personnel, so they did not enter the mountain together, but stayed outside the mountain to be responsible for logistics.
A year ago, there were as many as thirty or forty people in his entourage.
Who called the Xue family is a big family, and there is no shortage of money.
In the world of rich people, they can really do whatever they want.
It is precisely because of this that this time the Xue family left a major clue to the location of Headless Village.
There were thirty or forty people who could provide an approximate location of the headless village.
Although due to their ordinary physique, these servants and physicians did not accompany them into the mountains to hunt, and only provided baggage and backup materials outside the mountains, but they followed Xue Xiong's footsteps all the way.
As long as they asked the servants and physicians where Xue Xiong had been, what mountains they had hunted, and what the general route was, it would be easy to deduce the general location of Headless Village.
......
......
There is a high mountain in the territory of Wuzhou Prefecture, called Wushan Ridge.
Wushan Ridge is one of the highest mountains in Wuzhou Prefecture, and is named because the mountains are full of verdant mountains and rich in medicinal materials.
One of the tributaries of the Yinyi River runs through the Wushan Ridge, so the humidity in the mountains is heavy. As a result, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and it is very easy to get lost, so few people go deep into the Wushan Mountains.
Moreover, this primeval mountain forest is densely forested, and wild beasts and poisonous insects are everywhere, even if there are hunters who live nearby and make a living by hunting, they only dare to move on the periphery of the mountain.
The place adjacent to Wuzhou Mansion is called Cangshan Mansion, and if you talk about the most prestigious mountain in Cangshan Mansion, it is Cang'er Mountain where the word Cangshan comes from.
Cang'er MountainCangshan Sea of Clouds Connecting the Sky, Towering into the Clouds, This is a towering and precipitous mountain range across the two prefectures, one of which has a branch vein stretching into the boundary of Wuzhou Prefecture, bordering the Wushan Ridge of Wuzhou Prefecture, forming a complex mountain situation.
This Wushan Ridge and Cang'er Mountain are inaccessible and steep mountains, the terrain is complex, poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, unless it is a medicine picker, hunter, dare to enter the mountain.
But he only dared to wander on the outer edge of the mountain, and never dared to go too deep.
Only those who are brave and brave in martial arts, or the young heroes of the rivers and lakes who have the dream of chivalry and righteousness, dare to go deep into the depths of the mountains and forests full of fierce beasts to kill the cannibal insects.
Knowing Suosuo β
Knowing Suosuo β
Two reckless men covered in blood and armed with machetes ran wildly in the mountains and forests, knocking through a heavy pile of weeds and thorns, startling the birds in the forest.
These two people looked like they had a full face and a thick and ruthless look, and they looked like two wanted murderers who had just committed an accident outside and planned to flee into the mountains to hide.
And looking at the facial features of the two are somewhat similar, this is still for the two brothers.
"Brother, it's almost dark, why haven't you found the hanging road yet?"
"The herb picker we killed on the way to escape into the mountain just now said that there is a hanging road after entering the mountain, which is a hidden shortcut from Wuzhou Mansion to Cangshan Mansion from Wuzhou Mansion to avoid thieves robbing the road, we haven't found the hanging road yet, could it be that we have been deceived?"
"Damn, I knew he lied to us, I shouldn't have wiped his neck just now, but gave him a disembowelment like a pig and a dog, wiping his neck and making him die too cheaply. β
The eldest brother is called Wang Haichuan, and the younger brother is called Wang Haifu.
The person who spoke just now was his younger brother Wang Haifu.
The younger brother is a tiger's back, and the nine-ring machete in his hand weighs six or seven pounds, which is a head taller than his elder brother Wang Haichuan.
The elder brother is lean, slender, with a somewhat wooden face, honest, silent and silent along the way, and does not speak much.
But when it comes to being ruthless, this taciturn big brother who looks like an honest man has the most murders committed at the bottom.
The two brothers are a pair of robbers who rob the road, rob merchants, kill people without blinking, and have been wanted by the imperial court for many days.
Today, the brothers killed several officials and village warriors, and then escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the local yamen.
So there was this scene in front of me.
"Big brother, in my opinion, that bullshit hanging road is fake, so let's hurry up and change the road before it gets dark. lest the dangling road not be found, but in the end it will be empty. β
"We don't necessarily have to flee to Cangshan Mansion, Wuzhou Mansion is so big, wait for our brother to change his name and surname, and then just find a mountain to set up a mountain as the king, and then continue to go back to his old business, there are still big fish and meat in the meal, and the days are fast." β
Wang Haifu was really bored and uncomfortable, and kept looking for something to say along the way.
But the eldest brother Wang Haichuan was always silent along the way, and only ran away.
The younger brother Wang Haifu, who is a tiger with a bear's waist and a bigger body, seems to be more afraid of the eldest brother who is a head shorter than him, and seeing that the eldest brother was silent all the way, he also obediently closed his mouth and continued to follow the eldest brother to flee for his life.
He knew that his brain was not as flexible as his big brother.
From childhood to adulthood, it is mainly based on the eldest brother.
The figures of the two brothers continued to run wildly in the secluded deep mountains and old forests, knocking through clumps of bushes and thorns, and suddenly, their vision was empty.
The lush vegetation is gone, and it becomes an open field.
A cliff face came into view.
A steep cliff road with winding winds appeared in front of the two of them.
The cliff road is extremely steep, as if it has been carved out by a ghostly axe, standing at the border between Wushan Ridge and Cang'er Mountain, as if the mountain range has been torn apart by a fracture zone.
The cliff road is narrow and steep.
The two brothers glanced at each other, and there were even many places where it was difficult to even pass one.
"Is there really a dangling road?"
"Hey, no wonder they say that money can make ghosts grind, those walking merchants can actually find such a dangerous road in the mountains, big brother, do you think we will meet those walking merchants later?"
The younger brother Wang Haifu looked at the cliff road, it was a steep cliff that would never be recovered once he stumbled, and laughed and joked. The heavy nine-ring knife in his hand, with a slight shake in his hand, made a clanging sound, and the murderous aura was cold.
Wang Haifu spoke in a relaxed tone.
If you don't have the guts, how can you make a living as a murderer and robber?
For reckless bandits like them, who pin their heads to their trouser belts all year round, they have long looked down on life and death and are not afraid of death.
"It just so happened that we escaped all the way, and we didn't bring enough dry food with us when we entered the mountains, and if we ran into those foot-walking merchants, we would just kill them and replenish our temple. β
The thin Wang Haichuan, who was silent and silent, looked numb, looked at the cliff road standing on the steep mountain wall ruthlessly, and said in a deep voice.
Wang Haifu laughed and said a wonderful thing, and then, the two brothers boldly stepped into the cliff road in front of them.
Whoop β
Whoa, whoa, whoaβ
Twilight is dim.
The drowsy sky, mixed with rain, slapped on the cold mountain wall, and the weather in the mountains was like this.
Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu didn't think about it, this thrilling and difficult cliff road would be so long, when they walked to the end, the cliff road was even more difficult to walk, and they couldn't stand alone, so they had to stick to the steep mountain wall tightly, and carefully step on the road under their feet with half a foot in order to walk slowly.
It is precisely because of this that the two brothers delayed a lot of time, and the sky became darker and darker.
The mountains were already dark.
At this moment, a gust of demonic wind suddenly blew in the mountain out of nowhere, and then it rained heavily, which made the already steep cliff road even more difficult to walk.
But they have already gone so far, and it is impossible for the two murder brothers to go back, so they can only harden and continue to move forward, praying for an early exit from this damn cliff road that makes people lose patience for a long time.
After walking cautiously for a distance, before it was dark, they finally saw that the cliff road in front of them began to widen.
From the difficulty of falling half of the soles of the feet, to the fact that people can fall on both feet against the mountain wall.
At this time, the sun was lower, and it was as red as blood.
The crimson sunset was getting lower and lower in the mountains.
When the last ray of light on the horizon completely sank and returned to the night, Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu finally walked through the most difficult road on the suspended road, and the road in front of them became open again, which could accommodate one person to walk normally.
The brothers continued on the cliff road in the silver moonlight.
And along the way, the eldest brother Wang Haichuan walked silently in front, and the younger brother Wang Haifu kept following behind and kept scolding and complaining.
said that this cliff road is really not something that normal people can walk, how can this be rich to make ghosts push and grind, it is clear that money can make ghosts push ghosts, these foot businessmen can really hide. On the next cliff road, don't let him run into the foot-walking merchants, or you will have to cut off their legs and throw them here to starve to death.
Quiet in the mountains.
Quiet.
It was as silent as a huge grave, not even the sound of insects and birds, and it was silent.
Too quiet.
It's so depressing.
The half-moon above his head seemed to be gnawed off by a tengu, the silver moonlight fell in the quiet mountain forest, and on the cliff road, he only heard Wang Haifu scolding all the way.
And beneath his feet was a dark cliff that was pitch black and could not see anything.
Every time I look down at the cliff at my feet, I can't help but imagine that in the darkness under the cliff, there will be a pair of blue eyes quietly staring at people.
Suddenly.
Smack!
"Huh, what's the sound?"
Wang Haichuan, who had been walking in front, suddenly looked back behind him with a cautious personality.
But behind him, except for the darkness, darkness, shrouded in the darkness of the deep mountains, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't hear any abnormal sounds.
"Big brother, are you too suspicious, why didn't I hear anything?"
Wang Haifu, who has an impulsive personality, also followed Wang Haichuan to listen carefully, but he didn't hear any movement behind him.
"Big brother, I think you are too nervous, if there is really any fierce beast following behind our brothers, it just so happens that the nine-ring knife in the hand of Grandpa Wang Haifu makes us hungry all the way to the Five Organs Temple. Wang Haifu said disapprerovingly.
The nine-ring knife in his hand shook with a crisp sound in his hand, and the man said ruthlessly.
Wang Haichuan stayed in place for a while.
Suspiciously, he looked behind him.
It has been quiet behind him, except for the occasional whirring mountain wind, and the mountain is quiet and quiet at night.
Then, Wang Haichuan shook his head, thinking that maybe he was too nervous, and the two continued on the road.
However.
The two brothers hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly, pop!
Wrong!
There is indeed movement!
This time, even the careless and reckless Wang Haifu heard the movement behind him, it was the sound of footsteps.
Someone had been quietly following them.
Boom!
Wang Haichuan drew his sword out of the sheath, and the two brothers cooperated all year round, staring at the direction of the dark mountain wall behind them with vigilance from each other's horns.
The footsteps disappeared.
The mountains were quiet for a while.
Smack!
Footsteps sounded again, click, click, clickβ
This time, the footsteps have been echoing on the empty cliff road, getting closer and closer, under the tense muscles of Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu's whole body, in the dark, there are actually flames beating in the middle of the night.
Like a cluster of ghostly fire beating in the void.
The ghost fire got closer and closer with the sound of footsteps, and then a Taoist priest wearing a five-visceral Taoist robe approached.
The Taoist priest in the five internal organs robes was a middle-aged man, carrying a bag on his back, like a hiker, and holding a torch in his hand.
The face of this middle-aged Taoist priest in the five-visceral Taoist robe appeared and disappeared from time to time in the dim light of the torch, and it was difficult to see the expression on his face for a while.
Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest who appeared on the cliff road late at night, and they were all stunned.
Seeing that there were other people here, the middle-aged Taoist priest in the five-colored Taoist robe was also stunned.
"Hey, are there any other donors on the Hanging Road late at night?"
"I am a Taoist priest of the Five Organs Taoist Temple, I heard that there is a village called Taoyuan Village in this mountain, I have been looking for Taoyuan Village in the mountains, I don't know if the two donors have heard of it?"
