Chapter 166: Hypocrite
Mu Chen secretly mourned silently for the Crane Crowned Forest King in southern Xinjiang. At this moment, the two of them advanced more than a mile towards their final destination.
Although the texture of the leaves can be seen in the first form of the dragon's eye, there are too many new trees here that are about 50 years old, and sometimes there are even dozens of canopies entwined.
Therefore, it naturally took some time for Mu Chen to distinguish it, and he walked for more than an hour.
As for why the non-Yike was not allowed to carry the coffin and pick the leaves to compare them one by one, there are two reasons.
First, it takes some energy to drive the coffin, although it is not much, but it is close to the best corpse raising place, and non-Yike naturally has to maintain the peak state.
The second reason is that Mu Chen wants to exercise his eyesight, although the meaning of the dragon's eyes has just come true, but he must be more familiar with it, and maybe he can also show unexpected surprises in the best corpse raising ground.
Just when Mu Chen and Fei Yike were getting closer and closer to their destination. On the other side of the dense forest, about twenty miles away from where the two of them were, there was also a group of people slowly approaching.
The group numbered slightly, about thirty or forty, and the leader was a middle-aged man in brocade robes, followed by several women, the closest of whom was holding an umbrella for him every inch.
Behind these women, there was a figure that was extremely abrupt, and it was a three-foot tall man. The big man's face was hideous, but his eyes looked a little dull. On its shoulder, sat a little girl of about ten years old.
And the big man's movement seemed a little stiff and strange.
I saw that the three-zhang tall man's arms were raised high, and his palms looked unusually wide, about the size of a foot and a half. At this moment, the two palms overlapped slightly, blocking the head of the little girl on her shoulder, like a big umbrella, blocking the rain out.
Behind them was a group of men in black, all of whom had hats on their faces, and they couldn't see clearly.
"Uncle, when will you find the entrance to the best corpse breeding ground?" asked the little girl on the shoulder of the three-foot man.
"It should be soon. The middle-aged man said.
"Uncle, you've been talking fast since noon yesterday, and you've said it a thousand times. I've been driving this stiff head for so many miles, and I'm really tired. The little girl was a little dissatisfied.
The middle-aged man stabilized his body when he heard this, and the people behind him naturally stopped moving forward one by one.
The middle-aged man turned around, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he said with some flattery: "Yun'er, if you are tired, you can rest for a while, anyway, it will definitely not be far away." ”
This middle-aged man is Lin Baiyuan, and the little girl on the shoulders of the three-zhang tall man is naturally Gu Yun.
"Hmph! It's all to blame for the broken picture given by my grandfather, and where is there any reliable reference here. I also said that this is a treasure map made by a special method of painting leaves, and it cost a lot of money to get it, so I see if he was deceived. It is also the best place to raise corpses. If there is such a place, why would others let this broken map out? Gu Wan pursed his lips, obviously not believing much in this so-called best corpse cultivation place.
"Don't talk nonsense. This guide map is true, but it must have been some years. However, this forest should not be so dense, there are sixty or seventy percent of the new trees that have grown over the decades, and those hundred-year-old trees are surrounded by life, which is a man-made move. The purpose, I guess, is to not let people take this guide map made by the method of painting leaves to find the location of the best corpse breeding ground. Lin Baiyuan explained earnestly to Gu Yun.
Although Gu Wan is only ten years old, his parents died early, and he lost his grandfather who loved him the most at a young age, so he naturally matured a little earlier than other children of the same age, so she could still listen to Lin Baiyuan's explanation.
"Uncle, according to what you say, someone is stumbling on us, and it was laid out decades ago?" asked Gu Wan with a frown.
Lin Baiyuan cupped his cheeks, nodded, and said, "The more this is the case, the more it proves the authenticity of this guide map." It's just that I don't know who is so generous to plant such a big tree in this radius of dozens of miles, and my city has not received any rumors over the years. ”
"Uncle, you said that since someone doesn't want people to find the best place to raise corpses, will there be any other means?" Gu Wan asked suddenly.
Lin Baiyuan shook his head, then said with a smile: "This uncle doesn't know. However, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although the best corpse raising ground is dangerous, but with your uncle, you will definitely be able to protect you. ”
While Lin Baiyuan was talking, the dozens of black-clothed people behind him had a slight movement.
"Lord Lin. A man hurriedly walked out of the crowd, wearing a hat, but from his temperament and posture it was clear that he was the leader of these people.
"Elder Tu Shan, why is it so in such a hurry?" Lin Baiyuan asked lightly.
"Lord Lin, I sensed a distress signal unique to my clan. It's five miles behind you. The patriarch named Tu Shan said with a little anxiety.
"A distress signal in your clan?" Lin Baiyuan said with some confusion, "Could it be that you have a clansman left behind before?"
"No, it's not. Lord Lin. Before coming, the patriarch had explained that if there was any special circumstances and news about this trip, he would send someone to follow the special mark I left along the way. I guess this distress signal was sent by someone from someone who came to inform you of something important. The old Tu Shan clan was also afraid that Lin Baiyuan would misunderstand, so he immediately explained.
Lin Baiyuan hadn't said anything yet, but Gu Yun wasn't happy. I saw that she said with some displeasure: "Elder Tu Shan, why didn't you explain such an important matter to my uncle in advance, could it be that you have prepared a second group of people who are ready to follow us into the best corpse cultivation ground?"
"Miss Gu, you misunderstood, Lord Lin looks down on my gluttonous clan so much, and is willing to cooperate with us, how could we do such an immoral thing. If Miss Gu doesn't believe it, let's go and take a look. If the clan does bring some important news about this trip, if he has an accident, then we really lose more than we gain. The old Tu Shan clan immediately explained.
It's just that most of the people who said this were facing Lin Baiyuan, because of the observation of the past few days, he knew that Gu Wan was not as arrogant and domineering as he seemed on the surface, and many things were instructed by Lin Baiyuan. After all, there are some words that come out of the mouth of a ten-year-old girl and don't need to be embellished. No matter how ugly the words are, they won't care about her.
Therefore, what Gu Wan said before was naturally what Lin Baiyuan thought in his heart.
To put it bluntly, it's just one singing red face and the other singing white face.
Lin Baiyuan pretended to make a face, and said to Gu Yun: "Yun'er, don't be unreasonable to the Tushan clan, you are a junior, how can you talk to him like this." ”
Gu Wan stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Lin Baiyuan turned his head and said to Tu Shan: "Please also ask the Tu Shan clan elder not to be strange to my niece." ”
"Hmph, hypocrite. Tu Shan scolded secretly in his heart, but he said with a bit of respect: "Lord Lin is serious, what Miss Gu said is not unreasonable, this is human nature, blame me for not communicating with Lord Lin before." ”
"The Tu Shan clan is serious, please lead the way, don't let the person who came to report the news have an accident. ”
