Chapter 153: The Strange Hole
In the following days, Wang Xu lived quite comfortably, found a luxurious inn to live in, and ate and drank. Of course, it is not only about enjoyment, but also about robbing the rich and helping the poor. During the day, let Xu Sheng go out to inquire about the news to see if there are any corrupt officials or wealthy families with a bad reputation. In the evening, the operation was carried out to rob the rich and help the poor. And Wang Xu didn't see the money, and distributed most of the money to the poor people exactly as he said at the beginning, and he only kept a small part of it.
Xu Sheng was originally a staunch opponent, but in the past few days, he has often shuttled through extremely poor areas, the so-called "slums", and this has changed! When he distributed the money in his hand, saw the smiling faces of those lonely children, saw those grateful faces, and saw the crowd of people kowtowing and kneeling in thanks, Xu Sheng finally closed his mouth completely. Although there is no support for this, there is no longer opposition to it.
However, those wealthy families in Shouchun exploded, and the successive thefts made them panic, and they recruited family guards to protect them, and the guards became stricter. However, as Wang Xu's techniques became more and more proficient, coupled with their martial arts, a qiē was no longer a problem. As long as the target is confirmed, Wang Xu has a way to lurk in, and all kinds of strange methods have also emerged, of course, most of them are those virtual and real ways in the military book. As for the authors of the book of war, Wang Xu can't care about what they think now......
With the invincible theft of the three people, coupled with the righteous act of robbing the rich and helping the poor, it didn't take long for the entire Shouchun to become a sensation and become an indispensable conversation for the people after tea and dinner. Although no one knows how many people Wang Xu has and what they look like, they have spread the title of a thief. Of course, both the government and the rich call them thieves. And as this matter became more and more troublesome, the Shouchun County Order, who had never been able to catch Wang Xu, was forced to report to the Jiujiang Taishou Mansion "next door" to the county government.
The current Jiujiang Taishou Bian Rang is a celebrity today, and when he heard that this kind of thing happened under his rule, he was immediately furious. Not only did he strictly order the search of various departments, but he also called on many capable people to assist. For a while, the city was full of turmoil, and the name of the thief quickly spread to all directions.
And after hearing the news of Bian Rang's personal action, Wang Xu also stopped in time and became a good citizen for a few days. He didn't dare to offend Bian Rang, this person's reputation and appeal were too terrifying, after Cao Cao killed him in history, he didn't get any good end, and he almost even got his hometown out. Therefore, as more and more capable people came to Shouchun and began a large-scale investigation, Wang Xu was forced to not even dare to stay in Shouchun anymore, and hurriedly left. And all the way did not stop in Jiujiang County, from the direction of Chengde County to the south, two days later slowly walked to Lujiang County......
"Boss, where are we now, and how far is it from the Lujiang County Government?" Dian Wei, who was riding a horse to the right of Wang Xu, looked around and couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Wang Xu squinted at the scorching sun in the sky, and then wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead before he said depressedly: "How do I know how far it is, I haven't seen people for more than a day." ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Sheng on the side couldn't help but answer: "Actually, I think something is wrong, yesterday morning, didn't the villager say that it was only more than two hundred miles away from Shu County, the county capital?" We've been on our way for more than a day, except for rest, and it's long overdue! ”
"Hey!" sighed, but Wang Xu didn't say anything more. In fact, he had already guessed that he was on the wrong path, there were more and more mountains and forests around here, and it didn't look like he was about to approach the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain. But what can he do now, he can only go on hard, and ask for directions when he encounters people.
Just when Wang Xu was immersed in chagrin, Dian Wei on the side was sharp-eyed, and suddenly pointed to the dense forest in front of him and shouted: "Boss, there are people in the mountains and forests!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu and Xu Sheng immediately looked at him along his hand. Suddenly, I found a thin man in the dense forest over there, who looked to be in his twenties, with a high nose bridge and slightly dark skin. But before he had time to take a closer look, the man also found Wang Xu and the others, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then he turned around and ran away. Moreover, its body is extremely flexible, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye through the cover of the dense forest.
"What is he running?" Seeing this scene, Dian Wei suddenly became puzzled.
Xu Sheng also said strangely: "It's really a bit of a problem, looking at his expression, it seems that he is extremely surprised to see us." ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu was slightly condensed, and saw that the hillside was not steep, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, no matter what, let's catch up and have a look." When you finally meet someone, you have to ask. ”
"Hmm!" Both nodded in agreement, but Xu Sheng immediately continued: "But be careful!" This person's expression is wrong, and he is in this wilderness, don't be careless. ”
However, Wang Xu and Dian Wei are both masters of the arts, how can they care about this problem, and before he finished speaking, they had already ridden their horses into the forest. Seeing this, Xu Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, and also patted his horse and followed......
After walking around the forest for a long time, Wang Xu found that the man had completely disappeared. I didn't hear any noise from the forest, nor did I find any traces that could be traced, so I couldn't help but wonder: "Wen Xiang, it's so strange, how could it disappear so quickly." There are no ups and downs around here, and no matter how fast he runs, he can't completely disappear in a few breaths! ”
"This ......" hesitated for a moment, but Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily!" I once heard the master say that some people who have lived in the mountains for many years are very good at moving in the forest, and often disappear without paying attention. And they're also very good at hiding their tracks and not letting others find out! ”
As soon as these words came out, Dian Wei was immediately deflated and complained: "It's really breathless, I finally found someone, but I turned around and ran." Don't you just want to ask for directions? It's not to eat him. ”
"Huh! Don't complain, in this wilderness, people are forgiven for being careful. Xu Sheng replied with a smile.
Although Wang Xu didn't blame the man, he also sighed in disappointment, and unwillingly glanced at the forest again, before slowly speaking: "Forget it, let's go ......" Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly burst out, and he looked at the dense stone pile in the distance in a daze.
Dian Wei and Xu Sheng, who had already turned the horse's head and were about to go down the mountain, saw him stunned there, and immediately looked at each other suspiciously, Dian Wei said, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't make a noise!" There was no time to pay attention to Dian Wei's inquiry, Wang Xu had already carefully observed his stone piles. It's so strange that there is such a pile of rocks in this woods? And look at their arrangement, there is still a faint order? As he became more and more curious, Wang Xu couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately turned over and dismounted, and carefully walked over to take a closer look. Xu Sheng and Dian Wei were worried that something would happen to Wang Xu, so they didn't dare to slack off, and followed suit. After tying the reins to a nearby tree, he hurriedly followed.
But after watching it for a long time, he found that Wang Xu was just frowning and looking around. Dian Wei couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what are you looking at?" ”
"Huh?" Wang Xu, who was called back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said: "There is a simple five-element formation here, because I have studied it in detail with the master before, so I thought it was very strange just now." If I'm not mistaken, it should be a formation that uses the characteristics of native wood. ”
"Oh?" Xu Sheng suddenly asked in surprise, "The lord is still proficient in the Five Elements Array?" ”
"Huh! I've studied for a few years, but I'm not proficient. Or I wouldn't have found out now! ”
Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but smile, and then turned to ask, "Can the lord break it!" ”
"I think it can! This formation is very simple. Saying that, Wang Xu couldn't help but cautiously reconfirm before turning his head and saying, "Dian Wei, you move these stones according to my instructions, and cut down some of the vines and trees around. Remember not to make the slightest mistake, and be careful, and if something goes wrong, go back immediately. ”
"Good!" Hearing this, Dian Wei didn't say much, immediately rubbed his hands, took a step forward and said, "Which one to move first?" ”
"Move the boulder to your left three feet to your right, pull out the vine grass, and then cut down the little tree next to it! ...... again"
Following Wang Xu's instructions, Dian Wei also did according to his words meticulously, and as the surrounding environment gradually changed, the environment over there was faintly blurred, and it looked a little distorted in the dappled sunlight, as if he was dazzled. Seeing this, Dian Wei and Xu Sheng were also very excited, but Xu Sheng's hand never left the sword on his waist, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
However, the possible accident did not happen, and as Dian Wei completed Wang Xu's last command, the formation was broken smoothly, and the scene in front of him immediately changed. Although it was still a wood, it looked very different, and there was a high mound of earth in the center of the encirclement, and next to the mound was a large bottomless hole.
When Dian Wei, who was at the forefront, saw the hole, he was immediately stunned: "Oh my God! If you don't know, you can just walk over and fall into the hole. As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "This formation is really amazing, I have heard the master say it before, but unfortunately he said that I am not suitable, so he didn't teach it to me!" Ay! I knew it was so mysterious, so I had to learn it anyway. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "This is simple, I'll teach you." The formation is not a master's master, and it is not a big deal to teach you. ”
"Really!" When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "That's really good." ”
Seeing this, Xu Sheng on the side wanted to say something, but he seemed embarrassed to say it and hesitated. However, Wang Xu didn't know his mind yet, knowing that Xu Sheng's character was like this, he took the initiative to smile and said, "Okay! As long as you want to learn, you can teach them all, anyway, many people know a little bit about formation! But let's say it first, it's easy to get started with the formation, but it's very difficult to be proficient, and you shouldn't spend too much effort on it in the future, after all, everyone has their own strengths, and you can't force it. ”
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Xu Sheng was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, lord!" I'm not going to waste my business. ”
smiled, Wang Xu didn't say more, and saw that there were some claws, ropes, shovels and other tools next to the cave entrance that he didn't have time to clean up, and he vaguely understood. Thinking that the man just now should be looking at the wind, he immediately turned back to tell his companion when he saw a few of them. It's a pity that he didn't see this formation at the time, but instead circled around for a long time, and it is estimated that they have already escaped under the cover of this formation. But what exactly are they digging this hole for?
As he became more and more curious, Wang Xu couldn't help but inform Xu Sheng and Dian Wei of his speculation, and seeing that both of them were curious, he couldn't help but bewitched: "How about we go down and see?" ”
