Bai Qingqing then asked, "Then let's go to the mountain early tomorrow morning to have a look?" ”

Mo Shaozhi nodded: "Well, the sight is better during the day." Come to think of it, it should be those Taoist priests who deliberately fabricated rumors to create fog, the purpose was to make the nearby villagers feel terrified, so they didn't dare to go up the mountain, so there must be some secret hidden on the mountain. ”

When the little civet cat heard this, he was full of anticipation and said, "Then tonight we will all rest early, recuperate our spirits, and go to the mountains tomorrow to find out." ”

Bai said lightly: "Yes, yes, have a good rest tonight!" ”

The four of them had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Yimei also sent Xiuluo some food, she ate something, and then fell asleep peacefully.

On the second day, the morning sun rose as scheduled.

The little civet cat was excited, woke up early, woke up Yimei, and the two went downstairs together to prepare breakfast.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw Bai Qingqing and Mo Shaozhi coming downstairs one after the other.

The little civet cat hurriedly got up and greeted: "Come on, here, we just ordered breakfast." ”

Bai Qingqing yawned: "You two got up early enough!" ”

Yimei said helplessly: "You don't know, the little civet cat can't sleep when he is excited when something happens, and he comes to wake me up early in the morning, I can't sleep if I want to!" ”

The little civet cat took a sip of white porridge and said, "This is not a good thing to be done early!" ”

After the four of them finished eating in the morning, Yimei took breakfast upstairs and said to Xiuluo: "Wait a minute, a few of us have to go out to do something, you just rest in the inn obediently, and wait for us to come back." ”

Xiuluo's eyes flickered and blinked a few times, and then nodded obediently.

Then the four of them went out and walked in the direction of the mountain.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I came to the foot of the mountain.

The four of them frowned and watched, and the little raccoon cat said: "This looks like a barren mountain, and there is not even a road!" ”

Yimei looked around, and then looked at Mo Shaozhi: "Brother Mo, how can we find it?" With such a big wild mountain, I'm afraid it's hard to find the direction when you go in. ”

I saw Mo Shaozhi covering his eyes with one hand and squinting: "It's really not easy." Why don't we split up, and if we find something, blow the leaves and make a sound. ”

Bai Qingqing nodded and said: "That's fine, it's still the old rule, me and the little civet cat, Brother Mo, you bring your clothes." We are divided into two ways. ”

As soon as they each took a few steps in their own direction, Mo Shaozhi suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Yimei said: "Brother Mo, why don't you leave?" ”

I saw Mo Shaozhi looking down at the things in the thorn bushes on the ground, and soon he leaned over and reached out to take it out.

It looks like a strip of cloth for clothes.

Mo Shaozhi took it in his hand and looked at it, and then said loudly: "Brother Bai, don't leave yet!" ”

Bai Qingqing and the little civet cat over there had just walked not far when they hurried back when they heard the sound: "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Shaozhi took the strip of cloth in his hand to him, with a serious face: "Brother Bai, come and see." ”

The little tanuki next to him and Yimei looked at each other.

Bai Qingqing took it, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he said sharply: "This is, Huawen Rust!" It's the ghost guard's black bat's clothes! ”

Mo Shaozhi's expression moved: "When I saw the feel of this fabric, I felt that this was definitely not an ordinary folk thing......

Seeing that they were all very nervous, Yimei asked in a low voice, "What is this ghost guard?" ”

Bai Qingqing sighed and said: "This ghost shadow guard is inherited by the Song family army for generations, and it was originally set up by the emperor's grandfather, with the intention of protecting only one person sitting on the dragon chair, and only obeying the emperor's orders, which is a secret that only the emperor knows...... If it weren't for the fact that I was a previous candidate for the throne, I wouldn't have known they existed. ”

Bai Qingqing continued, "The last palace change, those who came out to protect the imperial brother, the last defense was the ghost guard, and it was also the key reason for the failure of the seventh brother. They fight as a team, they are extremely powerful, and they kill with their moves! ”

The little civet cat was a little puzzled, and she asked, "Aren't they protecting the emperor in the palace, how did they come to this barren mountain and wilderness?" Could it be that the emperor sent them to hunt down Gao Lan? ”

Bai Qingqing suddenly looked at Mo Shaozhi in a panic.

Bai Qingqing lowered his head and sighed: "I'm afraid it's really like this!" ”

Everyone was panicked, and after a while, Mo Shaozhi said slowly: "Don't worry, everyone, even if the emperor sends ghost guards to hunt down Gao Lan, he will definitely not hurt her, I am still relieved of this." Moreover, last time, the emperor also promised me not to chase Gao Lan's trail again......"

Bai Qingqing also relieved: "Yes, yes, the imperial brother will not hurt Gao Lan." ”

"Oh!" The little tanuki breathed a sigh of relief: "But this ghost is really powerful, and you can find it here." ”

Bai Qingqing said firmly: "They are indeed powerful, they are said to be omnipotent, but they can't find a trace, just like ghosts." ”

Mo Shaozhi looked down at the strip of cloth on Bai Qingqing's hand: "Since this cloth came from here, then Brother Bai, you don't have to go in the other direction, the four of us will go up the mountain along here." ”

Bai Qingqing nodded: "Okay!" ”

Mo Shaozhi observed the situation on the ground as he walked, and identified the direction of progress according to the traces of the plants that had been trampled on.

"This way!"

Soon, the four of them came to the halfway up the mountain, a place where the traces of people could be vaguely seen.

The little tanuki said happily: "It seems that we are going in the right direction!" ”

Yimei said slightly proudly: "With Brother Mo here, our direction will never be wrong!" ”

Bai Qingqing's mouth was clear, and before he could speak, Yimei saw this, and hurriedly added, "Of course, there is Brother Bai!" The two brothers are together, it is really a peerless double pride, unparalleled in the world. ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qingqing's original displeasure was instantly smiling.

Mo Shaozhi shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

The little civet cat whispered: "Yimei, your bowl of water is really level!" ”

Yimei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her mouth, and whispered: "I'm too difficult!" ”

Mo Shaozhi continued to walk towards it, and after a while, a stone wall appeared in front of him, blocking their way.

Bai Qingqing was dumbfounded: "There is no way...... Where does this go? ”

Mo Shaozhi was unwilling: "Let's look for it again, there will definitely be a way!" ”

The four of them continued to look for their way according to the imprints in the ground.

As a result, it was all unsuccessful.

The little tanuki held his chin and thought, "Look at this, the traces on the ground are the ones that lead to this stone wall." ”

Mo Shaozhi also looked at the stone wall, thoughtful, and said firmly for a while: "There is no way...... That means the road is behind this stone wall. ”

Bai Qingqing had been standing in front of the stone wall and pondering for a while, a little decadent: "This is a stone wall, I didn't see anything abnormal!" ”

The four of them immediately paid attention to the stone wall, and began to touch the stone wall one after another, up and down, left and right.

After a while, I saw Yimei squatting next to me and shouted: "Come and see the blood stains here!" ”
