Chapter 30: Deserted Village
The Xu family tailed, followed Liu Daxian, and chased all the way to Zhongnan Mountain.
However, the mountains and forests are dense, the road is rugged, and after arriving at a small village in the mountains, after seeing Liu Banxian enter the village, there is no trace.
The Xu family's name is Zhang Ada, who is a sharp leg and foot style, and he is also a dead soldier trained by Xu Yan. I will do my best in everything, and I will not give up until I reach my goal.
Ah Da stopped in front of the village. At the entrance of the village, a stone bridge of some years lies quietly on the riverbed that is almost exhausted, and on the bank stands an unknown tree, stretching out its branches, slender vines, like hair under the trunk, and the breeze passes, moving with the wind, like a ghost. The roots under the tree crawled to the surface of the river where there was water. Everywhere the beard stem goes, the ground is full of red soil, red as blood, revealing a trace of yin qi, which makes people feel cold. A tattered and lost bronze bell hung on the trunk of the tree, swaying slightly from time to time, and the buckle creaked slightly, and as far as the eye could see, there was no life in the village except for the ruins and moss, and there was no common domestic animal such as domestic animals and earth dogs, let alone people.
A pair of dry bones sat at the head of the bridge, shabby clothes covering the bones that had turned white, obviously dead for a long time, the body was rotten and weathered, and the skin and flesh had been scattered.
If you talk about the villages that have been attacked by soldiers and bandits, the situation is not as good as the mad man in front of you. No matter how you say that people still have some life, but not only is there no one here, there is also a dry bone at the head of the bridge, maybe there has been no one for at least three or five years, the corpse is not collected, and it is still placed on the road to enter the village, it can be seen that in the last time, the people in the village are probably extinct. The scene in front of me exudes an unsettling yin aura everywhere, and over time, it is an inexplicable blood qi, which makes people feel disgusted and immediately want to vomit.
Ah Da hesitated. If that Liu Banxian is in this village, it's okay, go back and report the news, and find someone to help. But if not, wouldn't that be a lost man? This is a thing that cannot be withheld in Ah Da's life values, for him, tracking such a trivial matter has never been missed, and today this matter is not ruining his reputation. But if you enter the village in such a grand manner, if you go in and fall into an ambush or like Ye Sandao before, and there is no trace, wouldn't it be impossible to repay the favor of the Xu family? The village is the only way forward, and if there are other forks in the road, or shortcuts, it will not take much trouble to pass here.
After thinking about it and enduring his curiosity, in the end Ah Da decided not to enter the village, and while the sky was still bright, he returned the same way and went to Chang'an to ask for help.
……
The world inn, the second floor of the private room.
Zhang Adaa told Xu Yan what he had seen and heard along the way, including the demi-immortal with the lost willow in the deserted village, and the strange scenes there.
"Alliance leader, please punish me!" Ah Da asked for punishment himself, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his actions.
"Punishment? What is the penalty? Master Li had told us that if we got the news or encountered something that we couldn't solve ourselves, we had to come back and discuss with him before acting, so there's nothing wrong with you doing this. Xu Yan didn't care about Zhang Ada's mistakes, just because Li Chunfeng had words first.
"This ......" Zhang Adaa was a little embarrassed, he originally felt that the distinction between rewards and punishments was the whole thing, but now that Lord Li had ordered this, he naturally thought of what might happen, such as these strange things encountered today.
"Needless to say, this is the end of the matter! You can now help me go to Lord Li's mansion and ask him to come and discuss this matter. Xu Yan commanded.
"Yes, my subordinates will go." Zhang Ada's departure from the Tianxiahui Inn rushed to the Li Mansion.
……
Lee House.
"The husband has not returned from the court, if you are in a hurry, you can wait for him to come back here. If you are not in a hurry, you can also tell me the name of your master, and I will tell him when he returns. Do you think it's okay? "It's Ye Huan who speaks.
"So, Miss Lao has told Master Li! said that my master Xu Yan was in a hurry to find him. After Zhang Ada, he thanked him and saluted, and turned to leave.
About two hours later, Li Chunfeng listened to Ye Huan's relay and already knew. So he ordered the brothers and sisters of the night family to stay behind, and he grabbed the fox sister and rushed to the Tianxiahui Inn together.
……
"Boss Xu! It's been a long time! Li Chunfeng was polite when he entered the house.
"Who is this?" Xu Yan had never seen the fox sister before, so he naturally didn't understand the relationship between her and Li Chunfeng.
"Little sister, call someone quickly!" Li Chunfeng called the fox sister in a witty way.
"The concubine has seen Boss Xu!" The fox sister has learned some human etiquette, and she did not let Li Chunfeng lose face.
"That's it, let's get down to business!" Xu Yan snorted, laughing and changing his words.
"Previously, Ye Ling and I sifted through the Taoist priests and fortune tellers in the city according to your plan, and found a guy named Liu Banxian, who was the minions of the Daomen! So I sent Zhang Ah Da to follow him back to the Daomen. ”
"Oh? So, the leader of the Xu League has already learned the specific location of the Huidao Gate? Li Chunfeng couldn't hide his excitement, and jumped up from his seat, for fear of delay, and was about to go out while talking.
"Wait, Brother Li, Ah Da met a village on the way to go, and he couldn't cross the road, so he came back to report the news. If you say that you are looking for a place, you are afraid that you are just looking for a direction, and you have not really found their nest. ”
"It's okay, I said it before!" Li Chunfeng didn't care about Xu Yan's apology.
"Then I'll let Ah Da take you, right? When you get to that realm, be careful! Xu Yan looked concerned.
"It's not me, it's me and the fox sister!" Li Chunfeng went this time, not only to eradicate the gang of guys from Huidaomen, but also to rescue Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Xiaofeng, what happened to him in Yuanjia Village is still in his heart, at this time, he is also drinking hatred in his heart, and there is nowhere to vent, and when Boss Xu called him to come, he had already guessed that he was not far from ten, and what he wanted to do must be related to Huidaomen and Yuan Tiangang.
"Oh?" Xu Yan looked incredulous, and couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Li Chunfeng's gourd. And Li Chunfeng didn't want to explain the identity of the fox sister, and some things became more and more confused the more he explained.
Li Chunfeng smiled but didn't say anything, and played with Xu Yan for a while haha. But when they saw Zhang Adaa coming, they saluted each other and went out.
……
Zhang Ada led the two of them to the deserted village.
There are three people in a group, but there are more topics. Talking about the landscape and countryside, life ambitions, it didn't take long to arrive near the village.
"Brother Zhang, this time is really weird, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to stay here, it's better to take advantage of the dawn and go back to Chang'an!" After Li Chunfeng saw the village for the first time, he found a reason to let Zhang Adaa leave. He didn't want to be too burdensome, and it would be difficult to do it when the time came.
"Master Li, this is not appropriate! Ah Da also knows some kung fu, so it's better to ......" at the same time as Zhang Ada's initiative to ask for help.
From far to near in the village, there was a burst of mournful music, drumming gongs, and feeling that the pomp was very large.
"Ahh Go back, you can't help with the matter here! Li Chunfeng was a little serious, but he looked for the direction of the voice from time to time when he spoke.
"Master Li, you let me come along!" Zhang Ada still doesn't give up.
"No need! There is no one alive here but us! If you stay here, you won't know the Fa, you can only die in vain! Come on! Li Chunfeng was a little anxious, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhang Ada.
"That'...... All right! In the end, he couldn't resist Li Chunfeng's nerves, so he agreed to return.
After Li Chunfeng nodded, he and the fox sister walked towards the village together.
