Chapter 41

I was stunned, I didn't think that there was anyone who could speak, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Laoblind.

Zhang Lao Blind was facing the stage, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what Mr. is doing, let's talk about it first." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the stage, "This gentleman is really a cheerful person, please sit down first." ”

There are several rows of small tables under this high platform, left and right are lined up one by one, and there are futons next to the tables, Zhang Laoblind walked to a table in front of the right side of the high platform and sat down, I also pretended to sit cross-legged opposite Zhang Laoblind.

It's traditional enough, not even a chair.

"Serve the wine. Seeing the two of us seated, the man on the high platform said again. Then two maid-like people came out from both sides and brought me and Zhang Laoblind a bowl of wine.

This frightened me, I thought there was no one in the palace, and I thought that if it really didn't work out, I would come out and capture the thief first, and capture the hostage so that I could get out.

The man got up and walked to the edge of the high platform, also holding a bowl of wine in his hand, as if he glanced at the two of us, and then picked up the evening and cooed.

The wine looked cloudy, but I was too embarrassed not to drink it, so I had to bite the bullet and pick up the bowl and take a sip.

"It's good wine. Zhang Lao blindly praised, and I also nodded.

This wine should be fermented, but the degree should not be low, with a hint of honey and grass, not greasy at all, clear in the throat, and a sweet aftertaste.

Listening to our praise, the two maids stepped forward and filled it again. I observed it this time, the two maids are average in appearance, and their age is not young, and they are still having a hard time in this ravine.

"What happened to the two of you who broke into my Lost Soul Ridge?" The man on the stage suddenly became gloomy.

My heart sank, is this going to give us a horse?

"Sir, if you have something to say, we will take what we need and help each other. Zhang Lao, who was on the other side, spoke again.

"We, the old people, have been hiding in the mountains here for thousands of years. The man sat down and sat down in a quiet tone, feeling that he was about to tell the story again.

I took another sip and shook my head. At this time, you can only see the move. Just now I read the two sentences of Zhang Laoblind and him going back and forth, thinking that this person must also have something to help us with, so I don't have to worry about safety for the time being, and I feel a lot more at ease.

"We have been hiding in these mountains with the legacy of our ancestors. None of us have ever left here, and only those who have become patriarchs have the occasional opportunity to go to the outside world and see how the outside world has changed. The man's tone grew heavier.

"Thousands of years of spring and summer alternate, and the people in the clan are getting weaker and weaker, and now, they are not far from extinction. My people are ignorant, but I have been outside many times, and the world is not comparable to this mountain wilderness. The patriarch said this, and his voice was raised, as if he had gone mad.

"This Lost Soul Ridge was once set up by our ancestors. Ordinary people passing by here will only find no direction, and they will never reach the center. But cultivators like you will lose your mind, and without our help, you will surely die. Our people can safely walk through it, but they can't get out of the border. To put it simply, people on the outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. ”

I said in my heart, didn't you just say that you went out to wave, so I interrupted: "Didn't you go out?"

The patriarch turned his head to look at me, and even if I couldn't see clearly at this time, I could feel his cold eyes.

"As the patriarch, I have a holy relic that has been passed down from generation to generation, and I can walk out of the Ecstasy Ridge. However, if one of the strange grasses in the ridge is not picked and eaten at the full moon of each month, the whole body will festered and die. I had thought about taking this strange grass out, but the monthly yield of this strange grass was scarce, and it was difficult to preserve. ”

I was overjoyed when I heard this, if nothing else, what this patriarch said should be Shennong grass.

"So the patriarch needs us to break the formation?" said Zhang Lao.

"Yes, on the night of the full moon, the vision of Ecstasy Ridge is a sign that the eyes are wide open. Our people can only pick strange grasses around, but they can't get closer, but you are different. ”

"What about the people you saved before?" I didn't want to ask more, I just thought that it couldn't be all these years, and it was impossible that only a group of us had passed through here.

Hearing me say this, the patriarch's face suddenly turned cold, and he said faintly: "If we can't help our people, how can we let them leave alive?"

, I scolded in my heart, dare to love me and Zhang Lao Blind are just another group of people who have been pulled to do coolies, no wonder the few people in front of me who can't speak can kill us when they catch us.

But I'm not too surprised, after all, we can still have use value at this time, and it's already a good thing to be qualified to work hard.

I exchanged glances with Mr. Zhang, but this guy squeezed his eyebrows, and I didn't understand.

Seeing that neither of us was talking, the patriarch spoke again: "Two days later, it will be the night of the full moon, and we will take you to the vicinity of the center of Lost Soul Ridge at that time." For the past two days, you have had a good rest in the stockade. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch called out to the little leader who had just brought us in and led us back.

The little boss took us back to the square, changed us to a normal room, motioned for us to rest here, and the guy brought me my glasses, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

"What do you say?" There were only two people left in the house, Zhang Lao Blind and I, I asked first.

"This Ecstasy Ridge is not easy to mess with, I don't know how many seniors have gone in, let's hurry up and eat and drink in the past two days. Zhang Lao blindly went to a broken wooden bed in the house, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"I haven't lived long enough," I was not angry: "Wu Ming helped me once before, but I didn't leave in time, so I was arrested again." It shows that the two of us are not looking in the right direction, and we may not necessarily be recruited, you see that Wu Ming is very good. Why don't we find a way to escape?"

"You must run, but it's not easy to run now, these people are running around here all day long, our small physique, if you make people anxious, let people stew. Since they can't get close to the formation, let's go and have a look according to their wishes, and then see the move. Moreover, Wu Ming will definitely come too. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and when the time comes, there will still be life when the time comes to fish in troubled waters. ”

What Zhang Lao said is reasonable, if I run now, I won't be able to get Shennong grass, and I won't be able to pay the difference when the time comes, but it will ruin my reputation as a master.

"The strange grass he just talked about may be Shennong grass, and I took a job in the magic capital. There is a water ghost Gu in the main house, and you need Shennong grass to solve it, have you ever heard of this thing?" The two of them didn't have time to talk in detail before, and only then did I tell the purpose of my coming here.

After listening to me, Zhang Lao bounced up from the bed and said in a throat: "What, Water Ghost Gu, you also know Water Ghost Gu?"
