Chapter 30: The Mountain Temple
Because he was worried about being recognized by Cheng Zixiao's guy, neither Qu Feng nor the people on Huamen's side dared to go in to check.
After all, Cheng Zixiao, who can be selected by Cheng Lanting as the liaison, is absolutely cautious in terms of both his experience in the rivers and lakes and his style of acting, if he gets too close, he will easily be recognized, which will affect the results later.
But this meal, after two hours, is really a little strange.
Qu Menghu didn't hesitate, he went directly into the hotel, and after a while, he walked out, but his face was black.
Obviously, Cheng Zixiao is not in it.
People are lost.
They followed all the way from Yucheng to here, and they worked so hard that they almost shivered to the last time, but they were thrown away by someone - no matter how you think about it, it feels like a real loss.
Qu Feng saw the teacher with a somewhat gloomy expression, and stammered: "Teacher, I, I ......"
Qu Menghu sighed and said, "I don't blame you, the main thing is that the other party is too cunning. β
At this time, a young girl came over and said, "It doesn't matter, I planted a mark on one of his retinues, so even if they go away, I can lock ......."
The little carpenter took a look and found that he knew this girl.
Xiao Wu.
This disciple of Sister Jing, the little girl who was almost given to the little carpenter to eat, did not follow her master to the ten-mile foreign field, but appeared in Yucheng and was sent here by Li Niang.
What's going on?
The little carpenter vaguely remembered that between Sister Jing and Liniang, the two "Four Golden Flowers", they didn't seem to deal with each other?
Xiao Wu also remembered the little carpenter, but after finishing speaking, she smiled at him and nodded to greet, "Mr. Gan, we met again......"
I haven't seen it for a few years, but the little Lori was sucked out, grew up, and became a pink and tender, watery and delicate girl in the flower season, although she is not yet at the peak of her appearance, but the breath of youth and vitality is coming to her face.
She smiled slightly, but there was a kind of beauty that captivated the city and the country......
The little carpenter nodded, said hello, and then asked directly: "What do you mean, that you can track down Cheng Zixiao?" β
Xiao Wu said: "Sort of, Cheng Zixiao is too vigilant, so I can only do things to the black-clothed entourage next to him, as for whether I can lock Cheng Zixiao by relying on this, I'm not sure about this......"
Qu Menghu's face turned cloudy and clear, and he urged: "That's okay, you hurry up and help lock it down." β
Xiao Wu nodded, then took two steps back, took a deep breath, and her hands began to form handprints, and at the same time, she began to hold the mantra in her mouth, reciting it quickly.
Half a minute later, she slapped her hands forward, followed by two puffs of white smoke from her nostrils.
The white smoke continued to entangle, condensed into a rope, and then appeared in front of Xiao Wu's eyes, and at this time, her eyes opened, squinted and locked, and pointed to the direction of the south and said: "Over there, almost a few miles away, it is moving rapidly......"
Qu Menghu looked at it, nodded and said, "Outside the city, let's go." β
Because of the urgency of time, he didn't ask anything, let Xiao Wu lead the way, and then followed him out of the city towards the south.
On this trip out of the city, in addition to the little carpenter and Qu Menghu, as well as Xiao Wu who led the way, there were also Qu Feng, as well as the Huamen operator who came to inform Qu Menghu of them before, and another man who accompanied Qu Feng.
A group of six people headed south, and soon after leaving the county seat, they entered the mountains and forests.
In the beginning, you can still see the villages and people's houses, but later, the forest is deep and dense, and gradually you go into the mountains.
Xiao Wu told everyone that the man with the mark was always on the move, and he didn't linger.
She has been leading the way in front, while Qu Menghu and the little carpenter are at the back, Qu Menghu pointed to Xiao Wu's back and said, "That girl, do you know?" β
The little carpenter also briefly introduced it at the moment, but after listening to it, Qu Menghu showed a strange smile and confirmed with him: "This Xiao Wu shouldn't be your dish, right?" β
The little carpenter reacted immediately: "What, you are interesting to her?" β
Qu Menghu asked rhetorically: "Isn't it okay?" β
The little carpenter subconsciously said, "You are really a beast, how old is she?" β
Qu Menghu said with a look of contempt: "Are you embarrassed to scold me for being a beast? Your sister-in-law's age is probably not too old, right? Xiao Wu is at least an adult - we are the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, both of us are about ......"
The little carpenter choked half to death at the boy's words.
If it was left in normal times, he might have explained a few words, but now he didn't bother to say anything, just rolled his eyes and let Qu Menghu understand it on his own.
Unexpectedly, Qu Menghu directly threw him away, ran to the front, talked with Xiao Wu, and chatted.
The little carpenter thought that Xiao Wu might not pay attention to Qu Menghu, the "prodigal son of the disciple", but he didn't expect Xiao Wu to have a "flattered" reaction to Qu Menghu's approach, and he also politely replied to Qu Menghu at the moment.
Later, I don't know what Qu Menghu said, but her face was full of peach blossoms, smiling a little shyly, and her eyes were full of a girl's expectation and excitement......
Belch......
Is that okay too?
Seeing Qu Menghu's flirtatious behavior, the little carpenter was a little stupid.
It turns out that contact with girls, such a hippie smile in the past, can actually work, and it can quickly shorten the distance between the two parties......
He felt that his three views were ruined.
Of course, what the little carpenter doesn't know is chasing girls, sometimes in addition to shameless means, more often rely on face.
In addition, the reason why Xiao Wu is so affectionate to Qu Menghu, and even a little "flattering", is not because of his humorous language and amiable appearance, but more because of Qu Menghu's "new identity" - as Sister Jing's proud disciple, Xiao Wu doesn't look at his age, but the city government is absolutely first-class, and he knows what he wants......
Qu Menghu and Xiao Wu chatted all the way, look at this trend, if it weren't for the fact that there was something important, and there were so many light bulbs next to them, the dog man and woman seemed to be looking for a haystack.
But whether it is Qu Menghu or Xiao Wu, no matter how hot the conversation is, they still haven't forgotten the business after all.
In front of a halfway hillside, Xiao Wu stopped, looked left and right, and then pointed to a mountain temple on the opposite hillside and said, "Stopped, there." β
A few people looked over there and saw that it was a mountain temple, which didn't look big, but it should be newly built.
Qu Menghu squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and asked Qu Feng next to him: "That Tufuzi's nephew, where did you dig the tomb?" β
Qu Feng looked left and right, and replied, "It should be this area......"
Qu Menghu frowned and didn't speak, but at this time, Xiao Wu whispered: "I can't sense ......"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and Qu Menghu thought about it for a while, and was relieved: "It should be that you have entered a certain magic circle, and the power of that magic circle has blocked your mark." β
When Xiao Wu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be so." β
Qu Feng asked, "Teacher, what should we do next?" β
Qu Menghu thought for a while, and then said: "Cheng Lanting chose to retreat here, it must have strengthened a lot of strength, in addition to manpower, all kinds of traps are also full, so this place should be very dangerous, rashly enter other people's territory, and it is a place we don't know anything about, it's really unwise, so let's not go over for the time being, just observe on the periphery, and wait until we understand clearly, and then take action......
He turned his head and said to Xiao Wu, "Little Wu girl, you have worked so hard to bring us here, so you don't have to take any risks here; You bring someone back, and you can help inquire about the situation here, and everything can be ......."
He was planning to drive people away, but Xiao Wu didn't do it, and said to him: "Go and inquire about the news, just let Luo Jiu and them go back, I will definitely be able to help you if I stay here." β
The little dancing girl wanted to stay and share the responsibility.
Qu Menghu listened, and did not insist, but had a brief chat with the other two people from Huamen, and then asked them to leave.
After the two left, Qu Menghu said to the rest of the people: "Everyone disperse and go around to investigate; The other thirteen, you get a little closer, one is to check if there are any traps near the mountain temple, and the other is to help keep an eye on the entry and exit over there......"
After assigning the task, he communicated with everyone again, mainly the bird call - what kind of bird call, what kind of situation it represents......
After the explanation, the four of them dispersed, each touching in a different direction.
Because of Lu Banjiao's professionalism, the little carpenter needed to take on more responsibilities at the moment, so he directly touched the opposite hillside.
With the help of the shade and the cover of the bushes, he quietly touched it, but he didn't expect that as Qu Menghu expected, the hill where the mountain temple was located, from the foot of the slope to the mountain, was full of traps, and the outermost place was the kind of simple deep pit or floor drain, on which camouflaged fallen leaves or plants were fluttered, and the inside of the pit was the kind of sharp thorns, and the further he went, the more types of traps becameβthere were warnings, simply ringing bells and breaking branches, etc.; There are also extremely threatening ones, such as hidden arrows, traps, and nooses, etc., which can easily be hit if you are not careful......
These traps are obviously set by masters, and if you are not careful, you may touch them, or even lose your life.
Even if the little carpenter was from the Lu Banjiao sect who was good at the secret art of the mechanism, he was also cautious and did not dare to be reckless, and when he walked a short and half distance, he suddenly saw a lifeless person hanging upside down from the tree more than ten meters away......
