Lin Xu waved his hand and glanced at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen immediately understood that if he didn't want the matter to be revealed, he naturally had to do something clean, killing people and hiding corpses, and causing trouble.

Subsequently, after Lin Sha explained some details, he arranged for Wang Chen and them to leave.

On the surface, Wang Chen and the others left to carry out some wanted missions, so that they could hide people's eyes, after all, the huge Beilan Academy, maybe who is undercover.

......

This is a forest with towering ancient trees, and in the forest, there are flying insects and beasts, demons and monsters in an endless stream.

Even in the daytime, at a glance, all you see is forest.

Even in some of the rubble, there are white bones everywhere, as if those lost travelers have forgotten the direction of their home.

In the depths of the mountain forest, the occasional sound of beast chirps is the only melody of the entire mountain range, and even the birds are used to it, and will no longer be startled.

This is the Ten Thousand Dry Mountains, a Jedi.

I heard some villagers from nearby villages say that the story handed down by their ancestors was not like this a long time ago, but one day, a god flew from the sky and landed in this mountain range.

In order to find the gods, people went to meet and went into the mountains and forests, but as a result, it was difficult to come back nine times out of ten, and even if they came back, they would be stupid if they were not crazy.

Gradually, this place is also known as the land of damnation, and how many innocent lives have been buried.

Therefore, it is called ten thousand withered.

Here, even some experienced old hunters are reluctant to come, even if they are hungry for a few days and finally find their prey, but once they set foot in this territory, they will leave.

After all, nothing is as important as being alive.

On this day, on the edge of this mountain range, there were two dusty figures walking in unison.

Looking at their clothes, they look like merchants coming and going, extremely ordinary.

And they are Wang Chen and Mo Cheng who came out of Beilan Academy and inquired about the news from the Thousands of Dry Mountains.

Along the way, Mo Cheng always kept vigilant against Wang Chen, and at the slightest disturbance, he immediately hid far away like a rabbit with a tail.

Looking at the curling smoke rising in front of him, Wang Chen stopped.

"There's a village ahead, let's rest in this village tonight, and ask by the way to see what news we can get. ”

Wang Chen touched the sweat on his forehead and looked at Mo Cheng.

Mo Cheng nodded, although he was very jealous of Wang Chen, but when they were outside, they still had to rely on each other.

Immediately, the two of them walked along the sheep's intestine path in the mountains towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

This village is not big, it is estimated that there are 100 households, and now it is already sunset, and those villagers who have gone out to work have returned, leaning obliquely at the entrance of the village, chatting with each other about all kinds of meaty jokes, and the sound of laughter echoes in the mountains.

It wasn't until Wang Chen and the others appeared that this attracted the attention of the villagers.

"Brothers, younger brothers, I am a businessman who came from the south and walked the streets to collect goods, and I saw that it was getting late, and I was afraid that there would be many ghosts in the forest at night, so I took the liberty of disturbing and begging my two brothers to have a place to live, we will not live in vain, we will give silver. ”

Wang Chen smiled with a smile on his face, and reached out to take it out of his arms, but it really made him take out a small ingot of silver, and it was estimated that there were one or two.

In this remote existence, a tael of silver is a huge amount of money, and the food bought is enough for the family to eat for a month.

The villagers at the entrance of the village looked Wang Chen and Mo Cheng up and down, looking at these two young people, their faces were kind, but they didn't look like bad people, and if they stayed for a night, they should accumulate virtue and do good.

Anyway, it's not easy to go out, so if you can help, you can help.

"Little brother, there is still an empty room in my house, there is no soft bed and quilt, but there is a straw mat quilt to cover it, if you don't dislike it, come to our house!" A middle-aged man waved his hand at Wang Chen with a sincere smile.

Wang Chen nodded hurriedly: "Where is the elder brother, it is enough to have a room to shelter from the wind and rain, how dare you dislike it." ”

As he spoke, Wang Chen walked forward quickly and handed over the silver in his hand.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No need, it's just a gesture." ”

Wang Chen didn't let much, took Mo Cheng with him, and went to the middle-aged man's house.

chatting along the way, Wang Chen also inquired about some middle-aged men.

This village is called Tiejia Village, and the middle-aged man is a villager in the village, called Tiehu.

As for Tiehu's family, it is said that he went out once, encountered wild beasts, and all of them died, so he escaped by himself.

At the mention of this, Tie Hu's calm eyes were filled with a bit of sadness.

Hearing this, Wang Chen didn't ask much.

When I came to Tiehu's house, it was a small thatched house and a small yard, and a group of chickens were raised in the yard!

You two go to rest first, and I'll prepare some food.

Wang Chen hugged his fists and thanked him, and came to a side room with Mo Cheng.

In the room, Wang Chen sat on a straw mat, and Mo Cheng looked at it and chose a place far away from Wang Chen to meditate.

Seeing the situation, Wang Chen grinned, and didn't want to say more, anyway, with such a big straw mat, he was comfortable to sit on and comfortable to sleep.

After a while, the call of the iron tiger was heard outside the house.

"Two brothers, the meal is ready, come out and eat some together!"

Porridge, wild vegetables, and dried meat are dinner, and although they are light, they give people an indescribable comfort.

The jerky is treasured by Tiehu for a long time, and he was going to eat it during the New Year's holidays, but when he thought about it, he was alone all the year round, so it was better to take advantage of the crowd and eat it together.

Wine and food are food, Wang Chen winked at Tiehu, turned around and walked out, and when he came back, he carried a wooden gourd in his hand.

"Brother Tiehu, come and have a drink?"

Tiehu's eyes lit up, wine is a rare thing in the village, and he hunted a wild deer on weekdays, and he had to drive at least fifty miles of mountain roads to carry the deer before he could go to the market to exchange for a few taels of wine.

Usually, Tiehu is reluctant to drink it at all, but the wine worm in his stomach has long been unable to hold it.

When you hear wine, it's naturally cheerful.

Tiehu rummaged through the cabinets for a while, found out three porcelain bowls, and ran out to wash them for a while, but he didn't rub the bottom of the bowls white, and then walked in.

To drink alcohol, at least the utensils must not be missing.

The wine in the gourd was poured into the bowl, and the rich aroma of the wine suddenly filled the whole room.

Tiehu looked at the wine in the bowl and swallowed vigorously.

"Hehe, Brother Iron Tiger, this wine is a fine wine I got in exchange for in the southernmost place, come and taste it, we won't get drunk tonight." ”

Wang Chen laughed, picked up the wine glass and touched Tiehu, raised his head and drank his stomach.

Tiehu licked his tongue, tilted his head and poured the wine into his stomach, and suddenly the spicy filled his entire mouth and throat, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill.

Wine!

On the side, Mo Cheng sat there, motionless, as a monk, he had been in the valley for many years, and he didn't eat food at all, after all, there were too many impurities in the food, and it was very troublesome to eat it and find a way to shoot it.

As for alcohol, he doesn't like to drink it either.

At the same time, he was still a little angry, with his cultivation, if he came here, he would definitely be treated as a god by the villagers in the village, how could he be like Wang Chen, mingling with people and chatting hotly.

According to him, it is direct suppression, a group of mortals, who can't ask what they want.

The more the wine was drunk, the stronger it became, even the iron tiger was a little uncontrollable, and as for Wang Chen, he had already been lying on the table without a match, and the smell of wine was monstrous.

"Brother Wang Chen, isn't it my brother who laughs at you, just with your amount of alcohol, you still go north and south, okay?" Tiehu stopped Wang Chen with a smile, with a drunk face.

Wang Chen laughed, he didn't know what to say, as if his tongue was knotted, he simply picked up the wine glass and drank another bowl.

Tiehu also laughed, raised his head and drank.

"Brother Tiehu, what kind of mountain do you say is the mountain behind here, why am I getting more and more confused the more I walk!" Wang Chen said vaguely.

Tiehu rubbed his drowsy head and sat staggeringly: "This mountain behind, this mountain is the Wandry Mountain Range, it's not my brother blowing with you, once I really went in, guess what I saw." ”

"I saw a group of flower girls with no clothes on. Wang Chen's face was full of drunkenness, and his words were vague.

Tiehu patted Wang Chen: "What bullshit, in the Ten Thousand Dry Mountain Range, I saw a group of flying monsters, and they scared me to death one by one, fortunately I ran fast, otherwise I would have died." ”

"What kind of flying flower girl, Brother Tiehu, you, you, you have a lot!" Wang Chen smiled and pointed at Tiehu.

Tie Hu patted Wang Chen's back and put on a very serious look, but his staggered body couldn't be serious: "That Ten Thousand Dry Mountain, I heard my grandfather tell me, his grandfather told him the story of his grandfather, saying that in this mountain forest, there were once immortals, and many people went to find the immortals, wanting the gods to protect them, guess what's the result?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Chen lay in the porcelain bowl on the table, struggling and smoking.

"What's the matter, I'm not afraid to scare you when I say it, those white bones all over the mountains, no one will be alive if they go in. Iron Tiger said with a sneer.

After saying that, he took a big sip of his wine glass.

"What is it, master, I have even seen the immortals flying in the sky, what white bones, flower girl, don't bluff me, I'm small. "Wang Chenyun is talking in the fog.

"What is it that I didn't blow with you, just a few nights ago, I heard a scream from the Ten Thousand Dry Mountains, so scared that I didn't even dare to come out of the bed. Iron Tiger endured the shaking of his body, his eyes trembling.

", you are clearly drunk and screaming, why don't you laugh?" Wang Chen pulled Tiehu, Tiehu didn't say a word and lay down, and suddenly snoring like thunder.

Seeing Tiehu sleeping, Wang Chen sat up straight, with a hint of clarity in his eyes.

"It seems that there is something strange about this Ten Thousand Dry Mountain Range, let's leave tomorrow morning, and prepare ourselves tonight, just in case. ”

Wang Chen pondered for a moment and spoke.

Mo Cheng glanced at Wang Chen, got up and left, and returned to the thatched house.
