Chapter 12: Ghost Fog Mountain

In an idle house in Dongping Village.

Lige raised his hand to lift the torn white cloth on the long wooden table, and looked down at the robber's corpse lying on it.

His brows furrowed slightly, and the smell of corpses came to his nose.

Although the time was only one day, the body of the robber had begun to deteriorate.

Especially the arrow hole in his skull, there was thick and unpleasant black blood coming out.

However, as a fast catcher, I am also used to the smell of corpses.

So after observing the corpse for a few seconds, he stretched out his right index finger and put it on the corpse's forehead.

Then, with the activation of [Memory Retracement], the picture of the robber twelve hours before his death appeared in his mind.

Skimming through the robber's memories and scanning what he had done in twelve hours.

The first thing Lige saw was the picture of the robber entering Dongping Village to loot.

The second is the picture of riding a horse on the road.

Then the style of painting changed, and the time came to morning.

I saw that the sky in the east was just dawning, and a group of eleven robbers came out of the Ghost Fog Mountain cautiously.

Then he saw a robber with a huge axe on his back who couldn't see his face clearly, waved his hand, and the ten people who followed him divided into two teams.

Then one team followed him north, while the other ran south.

Eventually, the sky turned black.

But in the dark night, there were a few lights.

Obviously, the place where the light was lit was the lair of the robber.

It looks like it's supposed to be a mountainside.

And when the picture arrives here, it comes to an abrupt end.

At this time, the consciousness of Lige also retreated from his mind.

The head of Dongping Village, a burly-looking man, watched Lige's examination of the robber's body.

A pair of thick eyebrows raised and asked, "What did you find when you were away from the catch?" ”

"No," Lige replied directly.

He would not let these people know that he had already known through the memories of the robbers' corpses where their lair was.

As for the power of the transcendent, although ordinary people often hear about it, few people have seen it.

In their cognition, the transcendent is probably a person with strong martial arts.

As for those special abilities, I have only heard of them in biographical stories.

If Lige said that he made a discovery, these people would definitely be shocked in their hearts.

Through a corpse, the robber's lair can be discovered.

This is clearly beyond their comprehension.

This is not to find the murderer based on the corpse, but to judge who killed him based on the characteristics of the wound and other characteristics.

Unless it's an extraordinary person, and it's a special secret technique like Lige.

Only then can the clues on the corpse be traced to the place where he landed in front of him.

"So, the bandits can't be caught again. ”

Hearing Lige's answer, the burly-looking village chief of Dongping Village said with a look of disappointment on his face.

The gang of robbers came out half a year ago, and four of the surrounding villages had already been looted.

And every time the government sent someone to arrest him, in the end it was in vain.

This makes these villages within a hundred miles east of Qianshui City miserable.

So when he saw Lige coming, he actually had a faint expectation in his heart.

After all, they killed a robber in their village, and with the robber's jealous and hateful character, he would definitely come to take revenge.

At that time, Dongping Village is estimated to be difficult to resist.

This is also the reason for the disappointment on his face when he heard Lige say that he had found nothing.

"Don't be afraid, your village chief, our yamen will definitely bring this gang of robbers to justice, and I will do my best to find them and arrest them. ”

Seeing that the burly village chief of Dongping Village showed disappointment on his face, he said comfortingly.

"Thank you very much. The burly village chief of Dongping Village hugged his fists and thanked him.

Lige replied: "You're welcome, it's our duty." ”

Then he said goodbye to the song, said that he was going to Guiwu Mountain to have a look, and left Dongping Village.

......

Outside the Ghost Fog Mountain Forest, the horse was placed at the post station under the mountain, and he came here alone to leave the song.

Looking up at the sun in the sky, it was just noon.

Eyes recycled, looking at the Ghost Fog Mountain.

It's Lige's first time here, as they say.

The ancient trees of the Ghost Fog Mountain are firm, the trees are thick, and several people hug each other, and the height of the trees is mostly thirty or fifty meters.

Although the season is only May, the branches and leaves of the trees in the Ghost Fog Mountain are already lush and green.

"Chirp ......"

In the midday sun, a few birds with beautiful feathers fluttered their wings and flew from the treetops.

Lige pulled out the saber at his waist, and according to the image in the mind of the robber's corpse, he immediately walked in.

The inside of the Ghost Fog Mountain is very different from what you see outside the Ghost Fog Mountain.

After entering the Ghost Misty Mountain, after passing through a dark and towering tree.

There was a sudden light in front of him, and a trickling stream appeared in front of him.

Looking around, it was a ravine in the memory of the robber's corpse.

According to the picture in the robbers' memory, under a cliff in this ravine, there was a crack more than one meter wide and dozens of lengths long.

And if you go all the way down the crack, you will find the belly of the mountain where the robbers live.

However, the footsteps of leaving the song stopped at this time.

Because in the memory of the robbers' corpses, in this ravine, they set up secret sentry.

If ordinary people come in, the sentinel will come out and take out the people.

If it is someone from the government, the secret post will go back to inform the person.

Then put down the stone that was hanging on the cliff in the middle of the crack and block the path in the crack.

In this way, when the people of the government enter the crack, they will see that the road ahead is blocked by stones, and they will retreat.

This is also the reason why the yamen sent out several catchers to enter the Ghost Fog Mountain, but they failed to find the hiding place of this gang of robbers.

Lige Mao leaned on, tightened the knife in his hand, and gently walked from this side of the creek to the other side.

Then, with the help of a waist-high flower and plant on the shore, he quietly went around behind a boulder the size of a house.

In the memory of the robber's corpse, behind the big stone of the house was their outpost.

It's just that when he walked around behind the boulder, his brow furrowed deeply.

The two secret sentinels hiding here in the memory of the robber's corpse have disappeared for some reason at this moment.

"Could it be that we are back in the belly of the mountain behind the crack," Lige couldn't help but think in his heart.

Supposedly, the dark sentinel is usually watched 24 hours a day.

Unless something happened, or he was seen coming.

But Lige was sure that after he entered here, he came from the view of this stone.

It is impossible for the robbers hiding here to find him.

If he hadn't been spotted, then the two outpost robbers hiding here.

Something big must have happened, so we left here together.

Thinking of this, Lige didn't bother anymore, stood up and hurriedly walked towards the crack under the cliff.

When he came to the mouth of the crack, he looked inside for a while and found that there was no situation.

Only then did he dodge and walked in.

But just as he entered the chasm and came to the belly of the mountain where the robbers lived.

His eyes opened suddenly, and cold sweat flowed down his back.
