The reason why the snake mountain is called 100,000 is extremely wide, the shape is like a snake, winding in the clouds, just into the mountain less than two hours, Xu You deeply felt the pain of running a dead horse in Wangshan, the mountain road is rugged, many ravines are obviously a stone's throw away, but there is no technology and manpower and financial resources to open the mountain and build bridges, you can only go down the steep valley for a few miles, and then climb up the mountain again, if you encounter a large area of poisonous miasma, you need to detour the distance will be farther.

The worst thing is that it rained heavily a few days ago, and the ground was muddy, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was very difficult to walk. Fortunately, the rain has stopped for two days, the flash flood has passed, and the stream at the bottom of the valley has also been crossed, otherwise it will be difficult to save the gods. If it weren't for the Divine Illumination Technique, which allowed Xu You to maintain his incomparably sharp six senses at all times, with his experience of entering the mountain for the first time, it is estimated that he would have lost his way long ago and could not distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

Everyone joined hands, and most of them were cultivated, although it was a night road, but there was not much delay in the trip. When the morning dawns, there is a tacit understanding between each other, the speed is a little faster, hungry to shoot some game, thirsty to drink some quasi-pure mountain spring water, it is also a rare enjoyment.

With Zong Yu, the big fat sheep, Chen Jing's interest in Xu You plummeted, and he only carefully inquired about Zong Yu's net worth along the way, estimating that he had already calculated the amount of money he would extort in the future, and he didn't care much about Xu You.

Xu You was also happy to be quiet, chatting happily with Zong Yu's three entourages, and learned from them that the girl's name was Zuoqiu Sijin, but the rest of the information was tight-lipped. However, after a short time together, Xu You can confirm that they are definitely not too guarded people, and the card I don't know where it came from, it turned out to be genuine, and it can be regarded as a very means.

You must know that this year is not as good as the later generations, the streets and alleys are posted with small advertisements for certificates, according to the law of the Chu State, all those who forge official cards, the people involved, etc., no matter how severe, will be beheaded!

And the government has a variety of anti-counterfeiting means, not to say that you can do whatever you want with the card, the risk is large, and the benefit is small, so the craftsmen who do this line of work are rarer than the white dragon in the middle of the river.

Listening to the lively conversation between the people in the back, Zuoqiu Sijin's face was calm, and he didn't say a word to Xu You.

In this way, in the evening, after looking for a cave to rest temporarily, Xu You bent down and pinched his sore calf, and asked, "How long will it take to get out of Pansnake Mountain?" ”

Chen Jing replied, "It will take another day and night." ”

In other words, they had to travel day and night, and they had to travel for two whole days and nights, and it was estimated that they would have to travel five days away if the others only walked during the day. This is simply God's reward for eating, if you don't breed some bandits to grab a handful, I'm sorry for such good geographical conditions.

Chen Jing quickly removed the fur and skin of the mountain rabbit he had just hunted, set up a fire to roast it, and sprinkled some hemp material with his hands, it was difficult for him to walk the rivers and lakes with such complete equipment. Zong Yu played the gentleman in place, with the word exhausted written on his face, slumped on the ground, and was served by the three attendants to drink. On the contrary, Xu You's performance was worse and did not show too much fatigue, but he explained that he often traveled around the country to study, and his body was not as weak as he looked, and others had nothing to doubt.

After eating delicious rabbit meat, continue to move forward under the leadership of Chen Jing, when passing a mountain path, due to a landslide, it was blocked by silt and stones, the problem is not big, you can go around, at most it will take a little time.

Chen Jing said: "I know that there is a shortcut nearby, which is estimated to shorten the journey by two hours. It just so happens that this road is not easy to pass, and I don't know if there is such a situation before, so let's take a shortcut to save time and effort? ”

Seeing that he was halfway through the trip, Xu You guessed that Chen Jing should also start making small moves, Zong Yu obviously had the same idea, and took over and said, "Don't you say it early if you have a shortcut?" Let's go, it's serious to get out of this broken mountain, I'll stay up for another day, I'm going to boil the blood! ”

The so-called shortcut is to go down from the hollow on the left side, and then go up again, and make a few 90-degree bends. Zuoqiu Sijin suddenly slowed down, and when Xu You was side by side, he whispered: "The previous direction has always been correct, from now on, let's go to the northwest ......"

Linchuan is in the southwest of Geyang, and since entering the mountain, no matter how you go around, you still go to the southwest, which will even go in the wrong direction, and it can be imagined that Chen Jing is indeed ill-intentioned.

"An hour!" Xu You stared at Chen Jing's back and said, "I will only give him one hour, if the enemy makes a move within an hour, I will go with you; If it is more than an hour, then take down Chen Jing first, under torture, I don't believe he is really tight-lipped like a bottle! ”

Zuoqiu Sijin was in a trance for a moment, Xu You was clearly weak and couldn't help it, but the sudden murderous aura made her feel like a mountain in her face, and she even stopped breathing for a moment.

"Good!"

After walking for about half an hour, they came to a woodland, which was overgrown with weeds and thorns, and the sky was dark and there were no fingers, and by the faint light of the torches, it was as if they saw a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.

Chen Jing's feet tightened, and in the scream, his body hung upside down and flew up, hanging in the air and swaying. A few black shadows flashed in the forest, and Zong Yu exclaimed: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Bamboo arrows shot like locusts from the forest, and the three attendants were already on guard, standing in front in a fan shape, with their long knives unsheathed, waving like the wind, and in the clanging sound, they stopped almost all the arrows.

These bamboo arrows were stimulated by a rudimentary machine, and the speed and strength were not very powerful, but just in case, Zuoqiu Sijin stood close to Xu You and protected him with Qingming. To Xu You's surprise, Zuoqiu Sijin's weapon turned out to be a soft sword wrapped around his waist, shaking in the wind, making a sound of gold and jade, which showed that it was not ordinary. If there are bamboo arrows that slip through the net, they will be cut off by her lightly, and there is no need for Qingming to shoot.

The bamboo arrows were exhausted, and a large net in the sky fell silently, just covering everyone's heads. Before he could break free, more than 20 black-clothed people were pounced, and eight people grabbed the net on all sides, and they all exerted their strength, the net tightened in an instant, and several people staggered and squeezed together. Due to the proximity of the distance, Zuoqiu Sijin was hugging Xu You, from head to toe, so tightly pasted that he couldn't even insert a piece of paper, repeating the embarrassing scene on the boat, and even exceeding.

More than a dozen people were armed with knives and guns, approaching the necks, chests and abdomen of Xu You and others, so that they did not dare to resist. Zong Yu originally planned to be caught and blended into the lair of the thieves, but after a few symbolic struggles, he was slapped on the cheek with a gun, and immediately acted honestly like a child.

At this time, Chen Jing, who had just been hoisted, also Shi Shiran walked out and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your good skills, you wouldn't have to use this net." Fortunately, it didn't hurt, and the ransom can be claimed more. ”

"Chen Jing, you!" Zong Yu was very into the play, angry and afraid, and shouted hoarsely: "It turns out that he is in the same group as the bandits......"

Chen Jing said with a smile: "Li Langjun, we immortal thieves only take money and don't kill people, as long as you are obedient, write a letter to your family, and live in our cottage for ten days and a half months, as soon as the ransom arrives, you will be released immediately." ”

Immortal thief?

It's all gone, do you still want to live forever? However, there are too many people in Jiangdong who believe in the way of the Heavenly Master, and it is not surprising that the bandits call themselves immortals.

"I ...... I'm ......" Zong Yu trembled and said: "Money is easy to say, don't harm my life!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, come on, shut their eyes and mouths. Yes, it hasn't opened for two months, and finally waited for a few fat sheep, maybe the mountain owner is happy, and reward you to go to Linchuan to find a soft little lady for a night!

"Hahaha!"

The group of thieves laughed, and some people looked at Zuoqiu Sijin with bad intentions. Her back to the bandits, her near-perfect body outlined by the shrunken skirt, swaying in the light of the torches.

Xu You flicked the net rope with his fingers, it was not vine or hemp, but it was stronger than the fiber rope he had seen in Hongye Zhu at the beginning, and it was difficult to cut it with ordinary swords, but with his current cultivation, it was effortless to get out of trouble.

If these bandits don't have long eyes and do something to Zuoqiu Sijin, they have to clean them up first, and then ask where the nest is. Anyway, there are so many people that there are always weak-willed people who can't stand the punishment.

It's just that this will startle the snake, and I can't figure out the real situation inside, and leading troops to encircle and suppress it in the future will definitely get half the result. So if you can do it, try not to do it.

"You don't want to die?" Chen Jing noticed that the two companions wanted to reach out and touch Zuoqiu Sijin, and sneered: "The mountain lord strictly ordered, robbing people first, taking wealth first, and those who dare to use excuses to insult women will go to their strength, cut off their feet, and throw them into the snake cave to suffer the crime of devouring the bones of ten thousand insects." Have you really thought about it? ”

The two thieves were suddenly frightened and trembling, and their desires were all gone, and they didn't even look at Zuoqiu Sijin, even when they were blindfolded by the black cloth, they were also well-behaved, for fear of touching a place that should not be touched, and they would be punished by the mountain owner.

Only this point, it can be seen that this group of bandits is not a rabble, whether it is an ambush or an attack, each performs its own duties, cooperates skillfully, and gives orders must be carried out, which actually brings a bit of the fierce momentum that only a regular army has.

Everyone was blindfolded, gagged, tied their hands, in a row in front and back, and was driven away by the group of thieves for about two quarters of an hour, up and down, unable to judge where they went, and then heard Chen Jing shouting: "Ascension ladder!" ”

The screeching sound of friction between the thick iron cables sounded, and it lasted for half a pillar of incense, and Xu You stepped on a bridge. The bridge should be at a high altitude, you can feel the howling wind, and the violent shaking under your feet, and when your feet step on the ground, you can hear Chen Jing shouting: "Open the Hidden Mansion!" ”

Xu You was scolded and bent down and walked slowly along the smooth stone steps, first down, then straight, then up, after walking for an unknown amount of time, they entered the house and could hear the breathing of people around them. Chen Jing ordered someone to take the black cloth, and Xu You's eyes suddenly brightened.

It was a large wooden house, tall and wide, with no decoration, except for a flaming torch that illuminated the whole space. On the left and right were eight chairs dressed in pigskin, and on each chair was a person, tall or short, fat or thin, and two women, who were not dressed as simple and wild as they imagined, but in the black and red uniforms common in the Fuzhou soldiers.

In the middle is a tiger skin chair, and the person on the chair should be the mountain master in Chen Jing's mouth, seven feet tall, with a resolute face, with a thick stubble, revealing unforgettable roughness and heroism, but his voice is very soft, and he said lightly: "These are the fat sheep you said?" ”

Chen Jing said excitedly: "Tell the mountain lord, these fat sheep are not simple, at least they are also medium-class scholars, I think they are going to make a lot of money this time!" ”

"Really?" The mountain lord's body leaned forward slightly, his eyes were like electricity, and he swept over the faces of Zong Yu and the others, and when it was Xu You's turn, his eyes froze, and then he took a closer look, and his color changed dramatically, and he stood up.

Xu You felt strange and looked at it carefully, only then did he see his face clearly, and his heart was shocked, but in front of Zong Yu, it was inconvenient to recognize him, and he shook his head gently.

The mountain lord's eyes exploded with blazing flames, and he sat up straight again, and said, "Take them down and divide them into charges." Also, take good care of them, give them hot water and meals, and don't neglect anyone! ”
