Song Jianqiu, who led the two girls around, actually didn't have a clear purpose, and was basically in a state of going wherever he went, and going wherever he was interesting.

Now I heard Zhuge Xiuwen say that she could take her to the mysterious mountain ghost village to have a look, she naturally readily agreed, after eating the barbecue, resting for a while, the four of them took advantage of the night to set off.

On the way, although Yuanli still didn't say a word, Song Jianqiu could see that the former's mood seemed to have improved, probably because he was going to the so-called Yeshan ghost village, right? According to Zhuge Xiuwen, the relationship between the Yeshan Ghost and the Red Refining King Snake is very good, and they will have a fixed transaction date with each other, and they will buy and sell the items they need each other.

In fact, the mountain ghosts and snake tribes, who also live in the mountains, are in this kind of trade relationship.

The snake clan does not like to go down the mountain and go to the human city, but they need some daily necessities, such as salt, clothing materials, etc., and the mountain ghosts just happen to be used as a transit, you can go to the town outside the mountain to purchase, and then return to the mountain, trade with the snake clan, in exchange for the other party's fading snake skin, fallen snake scales, or some ore dug up when the snake clan drilled a hole, etc.

The two sides are in a state of complementarity and mutual assistance, but they are quite peaceful.

And Yeshan Ghost Village, which is a big village near here, has a population of thousands of people, usually patrols the mountains in teams, and there are special teams to go down the mountain to trade, correcting many fallacies obtained from Zhao Jun.

Just like its name, the mountain ghost village is the name of the village, if it is the same name, it will be distinguished according to the number of people and the strength of the village.

For example, the Yeshan ghost village used to have the big Yeshan ghost village, and the small Yeshan ghost village, and later after the merger, it became the current Yeshan ghost village.

If it is a mountain ghost with the same surname from other mountainous areas, it is natural to add a place name logo.

Mountain ghosts live in the mountains, and although they are not as deep as the snake tribes, they are more hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to find them if there is no one to lead them.

Unexpectedly, Yuanli didn't know where the Yeshan ghost village was, she and her so-called little sister had only been able to meet on a fixed trading day, and then went out to play together for a few days before they separated and went home.

Therefore, even if the Red Refining King Snake and Yeshan Ghost Village have a good relationship, neither side knows where the other party's nest is, which is probably a way to watch out for each other, or a way to protect themselves.

The mountain roads of the Qishan Mountains are far more difficult to walk than the Black Mountain Range.

The peaks of the latter, compared to the peaks of Qishan, are not so high, and most of them are flat, from the foot of the mountain, you can walk all the way along the mountain range to the mountain, although the way is rugged, there are occasional faults and overhangs, but as long as you work hard, you can still climb up.

But the Qishan mountain range is different, the mountains here are like trees growing here, they are all straight and straight, more than 100 meters high are easy and simple, towering into the clouds is the average, a single peak, and rarely connected with other peaks, most of them stand alone, giving people a feeling that a single dog wants to be lonely for a lifetime!

Of course, such a mountain peak is naturally majestic and steep, with layers of mountains and mountains, and it is endless.

There is no road in the mountain, but fortunately, the four of them are not ordinary people, especially Zhuge Xiuwen, walking between the mountain walls, as if walking on the ground, and Yuanli as long as he shows the snake tail, he can also easily crawl on some steep paths, this is the talent of snakes, and it is no wonder that the snake clan likes to live in the mountains.

No matter how steep and steep the mountain is, for the snake clan, it is basically just flat land.

Song Jianqiu and Xiaohua are slightly inferior, but fortunately, the former has recovered the power of Buddhism, and the palace clothes and Jinxia shawls on their bodies have also been restored.

With the assistance of Jinxia Shawl, she was also able to easily keep up with the speed of Zhuge Xiuwen and Yuanli, and even brought Xiaohua.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhuge Xiuwen, an outsider, Xiaohua would probably have turned into a jade pendant, so it would be easier.

Although on the way, Zhuge Xiuwen always said that it was almost there, but he still walked for four days, hunting and resting on the way, needless to say, he only said that it was almost there in Zhuge Xiuwen's mouth, but it still took so long, Song Jianqiu doubted whether the other party wanted to take them to sell!

But fortunately, finally on the afternoon of the fourth day, the four people who were marching finally met the patrol of Yeshan Ghost Village, which dispelled Song Jianqiu's suspicion that this uncle was going to sell the three of them.

"Who?"

The encounter between the four of them and the patrol team was actually a little sudden, and I don't know if it was accidental, or if Zhuge Xiuwen, who led the way, deliberately did so.

With a shout, three humans jumped off the mountain wall and stopped in front of the four.

The trio were dressed in clothes made of bark and leaves wrapped around them, which were distinctly different from those outside the mountain.

It stands to reason that the clothes made of this plant should be very coarse, but in reality, they are unusually delicate, except for the bark and leaves, they are no different from ordinary clothes.

Perhaps for the convenience of movement, the clothes made of bark and leaves, such as tight-fitting short-sleeved shorts, etc., and the swords and spears in each hand, were also wrapped around the leaves of vines and trees, etc., I wonder if they were just for decoration, or for camouflage, or both?

And on the waists of the three of them, there is also a small piece of palm-sized, unusually eye-catching cloth, embroidered with a branch with three leaves, which looks like it should be the symbol of the Yeshan ghost village?

But what is even more unexpected is that among the three people, there is a young woman, wearing a close-fitting bark shorts and shorts, which perfectly highlights the woman's beautiful figure, although a pair of snow-white slender thighs are wrapped around some vines hanging with leaves, used as a cover, but the snow-white exposed between the leaves still makes people look a little unable to take their eyes off.

Even if you look at it from a man's point of view, it is easier to get excited if you hide it like this!

Both sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and when they noticed Yuanli and Zhuge Xiuwen, the woman walked out from behind and shouted in surprise: "Yuanli! ”

"Mr. Zhuge !"

The other two men also recognized Zhuge Xiuwen, and immediately called out each other's names, obviously, the latter said that he was very familiar with Yeshan Ghost Village, and he really didn't deceive people, otherwise a patrol team would not be able to recognize Zhuge Xiuwen!

"Sister Xiaowei!" When Yuanli saw the woman, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she ran over with a cry and a shout.

can be called Sister Xiaowei by Yuanli, then obviously this woman is Ye Xiaowei who I heard before.

Zhuge Xiuwen said that this Ye Xiaowei is the eldest daughter of the patriarch of Yeshan Ghost Village, and she can also be said to be a princess, but now it seems that whether she is a princess or not, this Ye Xiaowei still needs to come out to patrol, but it gives people a feeling of treating everyone equally.

Ye Xiaowei greeted him, hugged Yuanli, showed a relieved expression on her face, and said: "My father said that there was a rebellion in the snake clan, and I guessed that it might be that something happened to the Red Refining King Snake, and I have been trying to find out the news of your clan, but the snake clan's side is too tightly defended, and the information we can learn is also limited!" ……”

“…… It's great to see you safe and sound now! Ye Xiaowei touched Yuanli's long fiery red hair, obviously relieved in her heart.

Yuanli buried her head and cried for a while, and then sobbed and said, "Sister Xiaowei, my father and aunt are dead!" And all the clansmen of the Red King Snake have been killed! I was the only one who escaped! ”

"What?!"

On the side of Yeshan Ghost Village, although I learned that there was a riot on the side of the snake clan, I couldn't get the specific news, but I didn't expect that the matter would be so serious! The Red Refining King Snake was slaughtered and exterminated!

"It's true?!" Ye Xiaowei asked.

"It's true!"

Yuanli's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he looked at Ye Xiaowei and said: "Daddy originally planned for a long time, wanting to unite the Wushao King Snake and the Mangshan King Snake to resist the rule of the Snake King together, and they were originally convinced, but they broke the contract at a critical time, and as a result, our Red Refining King Snake was unable to support it alone, and was finally ordered to be exterminated by the Snake King!" ”

Hearing this definite news, Ye Xiaowei and the other two members looked at each other in shock.

You must know that the relationship between Yeshan Ghost Village and the Red Refining King Snake is the best, and the continuous trading time has exceeded hundreds of years, and now that the Red Refining King Snake has been exterminated, it means that if Yeshan Ghost Village wants to trade with the Snake Clan again, it must find a new object.

However, how could the trust of the Serpents be so easy to obtain? Even if it is the ghost village of Yeshan, it took decades for each other to basically reach a state of trust, and the effort and wealth spent during this period can be imagined, and it is not possible to make up for it in a short period of time.

What's more, a snake clan notified by the four king snakes is a good snake clan, and they can restrain each other, and now, with a strong snake king rule, plus the ambition of this snake king seems to be not small, it is estimated that when the time comes, I am afraid that the other party's ambition will continue to swell after the internal affairs of the snake clan are sorted out!

In an instant, Ye Xiaowei thought of all kinds of possibilities, and she didn't have the heart to continue patrolling at the moment, she didn't even bother to say hello to Zhuge Xiuwen, nor did she bother to ask who the stranger who followed the two of them was, so she greeted them directly, and led the four of them into the mountain and returned to the Yeshan ghost village.

Under Ye Xiaowei's greeting, three more people appeared in the stone caves on the surrounding mountain walls, obviously, there are normally six people in this patrol, after discovering Song Jianqiu and others, three people came to contact the warning, and the other three were ambushed around, if there is any abnormal movement in the people, they can launch a sneak attack!

And the surrounding stone walls, Song Jianqiu has seen it several times, but she didn't notice anything wrong, until the three people came out, she suddenly realized that this kind of place can hide people!

It can be seen that this mountain ghost is really used to staying in the mountains, and is familiar with all the terrain and hiding places here, otherwise it would be impossible to hide quickly after encountering outsiders.

Ye Xiaowei was the only one who led Song Jianqiu and the four people back, and the remaining five people continued to carry out patrol tasks.

Under the leadership of Ye Xiaowei, Song Jianqiu and the four of them climbed the mountain and crossed the wall, tossing for a while, and finally came to the foot of a towering mountain peak and stood in front of a stone weighing thousands of catties.

Song Jianqiu guessed that this should be a hidden entrance.

Sure enough, I saw Ye Xiaowei stretch out her left hand and press it on the stone, but there was no movement, the boulder suddenly shook, and then there was a sound of friction, and it slowly opened, revealing a black hole.

"Let's go!"

Ye Xiaowei greeted and walked in first. Song Jianqiu and others followed.

The cave is pitch black, there are no torches and no light, fortunately, the sword trick can see through the smoke and dust, and it can also make people see in the dark, after use, you can see that this cave tunnel should not be naturally formed, the stone walls on both sides are smooth, the ground is also very flat, there is no gravel.

The whole tunnel is not a straight one, but after entering and walking for a while, a stone staircase appears upward.

Obviously, the entrance to the cave, although it is on the ground, leads to the top.

Song Jianqiu carefully looked at the surrounding environment, but didn't notice that Zhuge Xiuwen was very keenly aware of something when he used the sword technique, and a trace of different color flashed in his eyes, but he walked in front and followed Ye Xiaowei, but he didn't look back, but quickly converged on this strange color, and everything behaved as usual.

The stone staircase spiraled upward, and I don't know how long I walked along it, but when I only turned a corner, I realized that the front had reached the end, and the tunnel was straight again.

At this end, Ye Xiaowei put her right hand on it, just like when she came in before, the stone began to vibrate, and there was a friction sound.

The light was projected through the open gap, shining on people, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes and gradually adapt to the light.

It took more than ten seconds for the stone gate to fully open, and by this time, several people had already adjusted to the light.

When I went out, I felt that my vision suddenly opened up, and a huge and vast open space appeared in front of me! It's really unimaginable that there will be such a vast open space in this place close to the mountainside, and at a glance, it is the size of a football field!

This open space, which is independent of the exit, is tens of meters wide, and the only way to cross it is through a suspended bridge that connects it.

Under the leadership of Ye Xiaowei, the four of them followed, got on the suspension bridge, and walked to the open space.

Song Jianqiu looked around and found that the open space should be similar to the role of the square, the old people gathered together to play chess, the teenagers and children of seven or eight years old ran and played happily in the square, and some women also gathered together, weaving something with vines in their hands, chatting and chatting, a relaxed and comfortable scene.

The square is the size of the football field, although it is said to be large, but it is very empty, only in the center, there is a stone house, and the other houses are built on the surrounding mountain wall, and the construction methods are also varied, some are hanging, some are erected, and then connected by wooden bridges.

Looking down, there is a bottomless cliff below, a black one, like an abyss, if people who are afraid of heights live in this kind of place, let alone sleep, it is estimated that they will faint directly.
