Chapter 41: Weird
Mu Tong took Mo Qing to walk cautiously in the dense forest of Humao Mountain, and walked towards the mountain step by step.
Suddenly, Mu Tong stopped and said to Mo Qing behind him.
"Xiao Qingzi, something is wrong. ”
"What's the matter, young master, did you find something?"
"It is rumored that on Tiger Cat Mountain, it is a gathering place for tiger-shaped beasts and cat-shaped beasts, although the grade is not high, the highest is about the fifth order, which corresponds to the strength of the high-level Xuanshi, so the general caravan has one or two Xuanshi guards, and with a strong crossbow, it can protect the caravan through the Tiger Cat Mountain, but every time it will experience a fight. There are always dead and wounded. But now that the two of you are deep in the middle of the mountain, this tiger cat can't be seen, it's really weird!"
Hearing Mu Tongyi's explanation, Mo Qing shuddered. It's a little creepy to look at the surrounding woods. After all, he is only a ten-year-old child, and no matter how mature his mind is, he is still afraid of something.
"Young Master, didn't you say this place was haunted?"
In broad daylight, as the saying goes: the son is silent and the power is confused. ”
"Then young master, what are you shaking?"
"Isn't it that I don't wear much clothes, and the mountain wind is a little cold?"
Mo Qing has a certain understanding of the young master's hard mouth. On the contrary, I was not so scared.
This young master is a boiled duck with a hard mouth.
Fortunately, this Tiger Cat Mountain is not all dense forests, and the two of them lit up, and suddenly walked out of the dense forest. Looking up, from the halfway up the mountainside, there are green grassy meadows and strange rocky peaks. Some of the old grass has climbed onto the craggy boulders, leaving traces of the withering glory of the years.
"Young master, look!"
Mu Tong, who was surveying the terrain, was attracted by Mo Qing's exclamation and looked in the direction of his finger. In the distance, under the boulder, there was a white bone! It seemed that he had not been dead for a long time, why was he so sure, because there were not only tooth marks gnawed by animals, but also stains of blood that had been dried on the white bones.
"Young master, blood is dark, it should have happened in the past few days. And there are weapons next to the corpse, which look quite sharp, I don't want the blades of ordinary knights, but like standard blades!"
Retracting his gaze from the corpse on the ground, Mu Tong got up and stood up. The two of them investigated the corpse for half an hour, leaving no trace except for the corpse. It's very wrong, there is no fight, only bones. But why are there still weapons? If there were weapons, the dead would have resisted, but the blades were cold, and there was no trace of use. If you have chopped something, there will not be a trace left.
"Mo Qing, send a distress signal and we retreat into the woods. ”
"This ...... Young master, isn't this exposing ourselves?"
"No, I think we've been exposed. It's just that the situation is unclear now, and I don't know why the other party didn't attack us. But there can be no delay. My Mu family's fifty iron horsemen cannot afford to lose. Hurry!"
The two hurriedly packed up their things, Mo Qing even climbed on the little donkey, and seeing that Mu Tong was already standing on the edge of the woods, he was relieved to pull the signal tube in his hand, and then patted the little donkey without looking back and rushed towards Mu Tong.
"Let's go, go down!"
Grabbing Mo Qing's hand and turning over the donkey, Mu Tong directly gave the order to go down the mountain.
The [Smoke and Rain Chasing Clouds] carrying the two of them had no pressure, and spread their legs and galloped in the woods. Turned into a black bolt of lightning.
Moving and dodging, there is no need to bother with the two of them, the two of them just need to lie on the back of the donkey and let the little donkey under them play freely.
It took nearly two hours to go up the mountain, and it was only a stick of incense to go down, and the little donkey had already returned to the woods at the foot of the mountain with the two of them.
Looking at the fifty-two war horses still grazing leisurely, Mu Tong was worried.
Wei 11 rode up the mountain with fifty horses, that's for sure. But what about Wei XII? He was obviously stalking the head of the thief, so he didn't hear from him anymore. Isn't he supposed to stay and take over?
Also, what about the offerings that follow behind?
Although Mu Tong didn't know that there were two worshippers behind him, he still remembered the one who went to capture the assassin. Why is it that more than two hours have passed, but the people are gone.
It's weird here.
"Xiaoqingzi, are you human?"
Being asked by Mu Tong coldly, Mo Qing gasped, turned his head stiffly, and looked at Mu Tong with a crying voice.
"Young master, don't scare me! Xiao Qingzi is really afraid of ghosts!"
Looking at Mo Qing, whose facial features were so frightened that he was squeezed together, Mu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Hurriedly comforted him.
Fortunately, there is still a Mo Qing by his side, otherwise he would have to scare himself to death.
[No, I am a scholar, I am a man of righteousness, how can I be afraid of ghosts and gods!]
Thinking of the sage's teachings, Mu Tong felt a surge of heat in his heart and began to recite aloud.
"There is righteousness in the chest, and mixed manifolds
............
Go and stay in the world, a word of ghosts and gods!"
Mo Qing, who was confused by Mu Tong's operation, after watching the young master finally start to finish, grabbed his cheeks and asked suspiciously.
"Young master, what kind of article are you reading, why have I never heard of it. Some of the sentences are impressive, but why can't I connect them?"
"Stupid! Master, I'm talking nonsense. Anyway, which sentence seems to be upright, Ling Ran will read it. Don't you notice that you're not so scared now?"
"yes. It's just that young master, will you be killed if the gentleman of the academy hears about your study like this?"
", I guess if the old master is here, he will have to read more and more miscellaneous. ”
"Huh!"
"You try again. ”
"Huh!"
"Good boy, you really dare to tear down the stage. ”
"No, young master, that sentence didn't come from me. ”
Mo Qing's words made the two of them freeze, since this hehe was not issued by Mo Qing, then ......
The two of them looked to the side in a creepy manner, and suddenly their hearts stopped in fright, and they almost pumped.
I saw a bunch of glowing eyeballs turning in the bones not far away, which looked particularly gloomy in the dim woods.
"Oh my god!"
Mo Qing, who was the first to react, was so frightened that he was urinating. Climb up on the ground with your hands and feet together. Mu Tong was also taken aback by him, and directly followed him.
Unexpectedly, there was a voice of resentment behind him.
"Young Master, I'll wait for nine deaths and escape from Ascension, that's how you treat us?
Huh, this tone, this voice, why is it a little familiar?
Mu Tong stopped running, and stepped on the crotch of Mo Qing who was crawling on the ground, and forced Mo Qing who was in a panic to break free of his pants and escape on the ground with his bare buttocks.
Mu Tong scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, he originally wanted Mo Qing not to be so out of shape, but he didn't expect to make him ugly. Forget it, he's a kid anyway, and it's all big men here, so it's not a big deal.
Mu Tong turned to look at dozens of pairs of eyes behind him, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, are you okay?" What happened to you?"
It's okay that Mu Tong didn't ask, but as soon as Mu Tong asked, the big men in their fifties shivered at the same time, and there was fear in their eyes.
"Young Master, don't ask. Let's get on our horses and leave. Late will change. ”
Looking at Wei Shiyi with a solemn face, coupled with the strange atmosphere, Mu Tong didn't say much, walked to Mo Qing's side, and threw him on the back of the little donkey, and by the way, his wet pants were also thrown up.
Then he turned over and got on his horse, and rushed towards Black Dragon City with a group of men who had returned safely.
