Chapter 517: Strange Traces
The more Yan Xiaokai and his party moved forward, the more rugged and steep the mountain road became, and the more rare and rare the human tracks became.
But according to my thoughts, the cemetery on the ancestor of the Yan family is in a very remote deep mountain and old forest, nearly ten kilometers away from the village, cutting wood, cutting grass and grazing cattle, or having a tryst in the field or something, it can be on the mountain near the village, there is no need to run so far.
In fact, after six or seven kilometers, the mountain road leading to the cemetery was overgrown with weeds and almost completely covered by vegetation, making it difficult to identify!
Yan Xiaokai had to support Shang Xin behind him, and at the same time, he had to use his hands to remove the weeds and branches blocking the middle of the road, and his walking speed slowed down.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a slight sound of "whirring" behind him, as if it was the sound of a sharp blade unsheathed, and looked back suspiciously, and was suddenly startled, because the rain girl actually pulled out the sharp soft sword hidden in her waist, and stood with her sword in her hand, looking directly at herself.
Yan Xiaokai couldn't react a little, "That's ...... Rain girl, what do you want to do? β
The rain girl's long sword slowly pointed forward, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at him, "Master, if I kill you here, do you think the master will know the way?" β
Yan Xiaokai looked left and right, the surrounding vegetation was lush and thorny, if he was killed, let alone Zhilu Dao, even the corpse would be difficult to find, and he asked with a chill in his heart: "Do you say true or false?" β
The rain girl was expressionless, and asked indifferently, "What do you think?" β
Yan Xiaokai didn't answer and asked, "What's the benefit of killing me?" β
The rain girl said: "I don't have to be shouted and scolded anymore to command." β
Yan Xiaokai said a little sadly: "Rain girl, is your resentment against me really so deep? β
Looking at the murderous two, Shang Xin didn't seem to be in a hurry, but said with some schadenfreude: "Only deeper, not the deepest!" Ah Da, it seems that you have done too many bad things, and you have already provoked the anger of the heavens! β
Yan Xiaokai couldn't laugh or cry, "Shang Xin, do you think she will let you live after I die?" β
At this time, it was Shang Xin's turn to be stunned, and he didn't make a sound.
Yan Xiaokai suddenly straightened his chest, his expression was resolute, and he said in a resolute tone: "Okay, if you really want to kill me, you can come!" β
The rain girl asked suspiciously, "Don't you fight back?" β
Yan Xiaokai shook his head slowly.
The rain girl asked again, "For what?" β
Yan Xiaokai said lightly: "Because your play is too fake." β
The rain girl was stunned, looked at Shang Xin on his shoulder and asked, "Is it really so fake?" β
Shang Xin nodded, "It's too fake, the tone is not cold enough, the murderous aura is not strong enough, and your eyes are still smiling when you say you want to kill." In this way, a fool thinks that you really want to kill someone! β
The rain girl was defeated, the long sword in her hand softened weakly, and sighed: "It seems that I really don't have the talent for acting!" β
"Do you just know the Tao now?" Yan Xiaokai snorted coldly, and shouted: "Don't be chattering, if you want to open the road, hurry up and open the road, what kind of joke are you kidding, this kind of joke is not funny at all!" β
The rain girl looked at him smugly, took two steps past him, brandished her long sword and cut through the weeds and thorns in the middle of the road to open the way.
As he continued to walk, Shang Xin asked in a low voice, "Ah Da, what have you done to the rain girl?" β
Yan Xiaokai thought about it seriously and said, "Except for what she just said, I didn't do anything. β
Shang Xin thought for a while and said, "Then you really deserve to die!" β
Yan Xiaokai: "......"
After a pause, Shang Xin said again: "Ah Da, did you seem to be scared just now?" β
Yan Xiaokai sneered and said, "I'm not afraid!" The rain girl really wants to fight me, and it's not certain who will kill the deer! β
Shang Xin propped up a little body, put his hand behind his neck, touched a handful, and took it out and put it in front of his eyes, "Look, what is this?" β
Yan Xiaokai said: "Khan! β
"Cold sweat, to be exact!" Shang Xin corrected and sneered: "You also said that you are not afraid!" β
Yan Xiaokai defended: "I'm not a robot, and you are at least more than ninety pounds, can I not get tired after carrying you for so long?" Can I not sweat when I'm tired? β
Shang Xin said: "Then why don't you sweat anywhere else except your back?" β
Yan Xiaokai's face was embarrassed, "How do I know about the Dao, maybe the sweat glands on the back are more developed!" β
Shang Xin snorted: "I've seen someone who wants to be faced, but I've never seen someone who is so dead." β
When the two were competing, the rain girl who was opening the road in front of her suddenly stopped her steps and made a "huh" sound in her mouth.
Yan Xiaokai also immediately paused and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" β
The rain girl pointed to the mountain road in front of her and said, "Before us, it seems that someone has come. β
Yan Xiaokai said disapprerovingly: "I've been here, I've been here, what's so strange, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, maybe it's the villagers who drive cattle and cut down trees!" β
The rain girl pointed at a small tree in front of her that was broken but had a thick bowl mouth, and said, "Can ordinary villagers cut down this kind of tree with one sword?" β
Yan Xiaokai got down Shang Xin, stepped forward to take a closer look at the tree that had been cut down, and found that the fracture was neat and smooth, without a single crease in the middle, obviously it was broken by someone with a neat knife!
Puzzled, he took out the wood knife that had been put in advance from the basket containing the sacrifice, and then slashed at another tree of about the same size next to him.
βpiaοΌβ With a bang, the tree snapped, leaving a fresh and neat incision in the break, almost exactly the same as the one that had been broken before.
The rain girl asked, "How's it going?" β
Yan Xiaokai frowned and said, "This person has at least three or four of my success, and he is obviously a master!" β
Shang Xin laughed when he heard this, "You two seem to be very powerful, in my opinion, this is just an ordinary villager who cut it!" What's all the fuss. β
Yan Xiaokai didn't defend himself, but just handed the firewood knife horizontally, handed it to her, and said, "You go and try it!" β
Shang Xin didn't talk nonsense, picked up the firewood knife, jumped to find a tree about the same size as the two just now, and after posing, he held the firewood knife with both hands and cut it down towards the tree with all his strength.
βpiaοΌβ With a bang, the tree shook, leaving a shallow slash mark, and Shang Xin's knife was shaken and fell out.
Shang Xin was stunned there, covering his hands that were numb and painful from the shock, and when he saw the banter on Yan Xiaokai's face, he said curtly: "Why is this tree so hard?" β
Yan Xiaokai ignored her, picked up the firewood knife and put it into the basket on the back of the rain girl, and then asked, "Rain girl, what do you think?" β
"Judging from the new and old marks of the incision and the spilled grease, it should have been half a month since this tree was cut down." As the rain girl spoke, the tip of the sword pointed at another thorn that had obviously been cut down, "Master, you see, there is more than one master like this!" β
Yan Xiaokai took a closer look and found that the thorn was also neatly cut off, but the direction of the knife was completely different, obviously not by the same person.
For a while, the second monk was a little confused, what were these masters doing in this deep mountain and old forest?
After thinking for a while to no avail, Yan Xiaokai said, "Keep going forward and have a look!" β
The three of them continued to move forward, carefully inspecting all the way, and found that there were many similar traces along the way, sometimes the traces would change suddenly, and they did not go along the mountain road, but went towards the top or bottom of the mountain road, opening a gap, only opening dozens of meters or hundreds of meters and then suddenly disappearing, and then returning to the mountain road.
Such traces continued until the three of them arrived at the cemetery where Yan Xiaokai was going to worship, and they still stretched forward on the mountain road.
Looking at the endless mountain road ahead, Yan Xiaokai did not continue to move forward, but led the two girls into the cemetery on the side of the road, picked up a firewood knife and began to clean up the weeds around the cemetery.
The two women sat on the side of the cemetery to rest, looking at the busy Yan Xiaokai, the rain girl couldn't help but ask, "Master, have you found anything?" β
Yan Xiaokai, who was weeding, paused, raised his head and said, "I feel as if these people are looking for something." β
The rain girl said: "What kind of giant snake beast are you looking for?" β
Yan Xiaokai shook his head and said, "I don't know, or after a while, after the worship, let's continue to explore forward." See what the hell these guys are working on? β
The rain girl was about to nod, but Shang Xin shouted, "Still going?" I'm dying of exhaustion, so let's go back after the worship! Even if those people are really masters, what do they really want to find some rare treasures, what does it have to do with us? β
The rain girl said: "We are just curious! β
Shang Xin said: "Sister Yu, curiosity sometimes kills not only cats, but also people. β
The rain girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Makes sense." β
Yan Xiaokai finished cleaning up the weeds and roots, put sacrifices on the table, pressed twelve dragon coins, and then began to burn oil candles, and then set off a string of firecrackers, and then began to incense, and said something in his mouth.
After the incense was finished, he saw the two women still sitting there and said, "Hey, you two, come and offer incense." β
The rain girl was about to stand up, but Shang Xin stopped her, and then glared at Yan Xiaokai and said, "We are not the daughter-in-law of your Yan family." β
Yan Xiaokai laughed and laughed, "Does it have to be a daughter-in-law to be incense?" β
Shang Xin said: "Since you are not a daughter-in-law, why do you want incense for Lu?" β
Yan Xiaokai was defeated, so he had to say: "Okay, I admit that you are the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, incense!" β
Shang Xin blushed and took a sip of him, then stood up and walked over with his feet to take the three pillars of incense and began to worship.
Yan Xiaokai saw that one eye was two big, do you really want to be my Yan family's daughter-in-law so much? When he was losing his mind, out of the corner of his eye, he found that the rain girl was blinking at him......
After the three of them worshipped, they packed up their things, walked out of the cemetery and returned to the mountain road, looking at the mountain road that was still stretching forward, Yan Xiaokai really wanted to explore it again.
But before he could speak, Shang Xin, who had returned to his back, begged for mercy: "Ah Da, don't go, okay, I'm really tired." β
Listening to her weak voice, Yan Xiaokai had no choice but to dispel his thoughts, and then scolded: "Zhilu Dao is tired, I told you not to come, you still want to come." β
Shang Xin pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
The rain girl said: "If you don't come, how can you incense your ancestors, how can you let them know that they have such a granddaughter-in-law?" β
Shang Xin's face was embarrassed, and he scolded: "Sister Yu, you are dead, what nonsense are you talking about?" β
The rain girl smiled, "I'm not wrong! β
Yan Xiaokai nodded, "Yes, you're not wrong, you also made incense just now!" β
Rain Girl: "......"
Yan Xiaokai saw her embarrassed expression, and immediately became happy, checked Shang Xin on his back, and said with a happy face: "It's good, I have two more daughters-in-law out of thin air." Hey, you two should remember to come to bed tonight! β
Two women: "......"
