Xia Qiu was stunned and puzzled: "Why is it said that Heizhuo Mountain is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones?" ”

Xu Mingliang looked at her in surprise, "That place is evil, people and animals have gone and never returned, white bones are piled up into mountains, and the most terrifying thing is that there was an inexplicable fire thirty years ago, and it took half a year to extinguish." The fire was thick with smoke and stained the sky black, so it was named Black Burning Mountain. Since then, no one has come even half a step closer to Black Burning Mountain. ”

Xia Qiu's eyes were clear, "Really burn for half a year?" ”

"That's not it, my dad saw it with his own eyes, and it won't be extinguished when it comes to water. The people said that it was an evil thing, and the county order at that time also specially invited the master to do the Fa, and it was useless to do more than a dozen Dharma affairs, and the master said that the evil was too powerful, and his practice was not enough. ”

Xia Qiu asked knowingly, "That place is too dangerous, and you definitely can't go there." Lord Lu, how are you going to deal with it? ”

Xu Mingliang is used to gagging, "Let them go out and go around, and make up a reason to make up a random errand." "Whose life is not fate, you can't let your brothers die knowing that there is danger, right?

Coming out of Xu Mingming, Xia Qiu went straight to Wei Ge.

Wei Ge was already a fast catcher in the yamen, and he was afraid of being recognized by Wu Tongxing's lackeys, so when he went out, he put a scar on his face and made a mustache, which looked decent.

Xu Mingliang just gave him a position, on the surface, he was catching fast, but in fact, he was only responsible for protecting Lu Tingxiu's safety.

When Xia Qiu came, Wei Ge was about to go out with his sword, and when he learned that she wanted to go to Heizhuo Mountain, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then he shook his head and said resolutely: "I'm not going." ”

This kid lives in seclusion in the mountains all the year round, and his mind is quite simple, Xia Qiu has already guessed his thoughts.

She pulled him out of the yamen, "Did Lord Lu let you go to Heizhuo Mountain?" ”

"Nope." Wei Ge flatly denied it.

"He's your savior, but don't forget, I'm also your savior." Xia Qiu's eyes narrowed, and he threatened: "I know everything he asked you to do behind his back, and I am a thief." ”

Wei Ge was dumbfounded.

"Now we can go, right?" Xia Qiu smiled and walked in the direction of leaving the city.

Wei Ge hurried to catch up, "It's too dangerous there for you to go." ”

"How do you know it's dangerous?" Xia Qiu asked rhetorically.

"I used to hunt with my father."

Xia Qiu was stunned, "Is there really evil there?" ”

Wei Ge shook his head, "It's a big rift valley in a mountain stream, it doesn't look special, but the further down you go, the more stinky it becomes, and it will make you sick to your stomach after smelling it for a long time." ”

"What does it smell like?" Xia Qiu asked.

"It was a pungent ...... It smells like rotten eggs, and you won't be conscious after a long time. ”

Xia Qiu was confused, according to what he said, it was not a miasma, what could make people go and never return?

Anyway, go check it out.

Seeing that she insisted on going, Wei Ge was anxious, "You can't go." ”

"Why?"

"Lord Lu will be worried."

Xia Qiu smiled, as if she had eaten honey, "I'm a doctor, let's go together, and we can take care of each other in case we have a good deal." ”

"But ......"

"No, but, let's see, if you can't retreat immediately."

She threatened with the grace of saving her life, and Wei Ge had no choice but to take her and set off.

Before leaving the city, Xia Qiu deliberately went to the hospital and asked Old Man Tu for some medicine.

Hurried all the way, and it took more than an hour to reach the Black Burning Pass.

Heizhuo Mountain is a great rift valley, like a heavenly axe splitting two mountains, along the winding terrain, the two of them all the way down......

The valley is full of green trees, with the occasional bird's cry, and the hard rocks still have blackened marks that have been burned by the fire, but after thirty years of wind and rain, they have been blurred and mottled.

After about half an hour, Xia Qiu faintly smelled a foul smell, floating up from the depths of the valley.

The two swallowed the pill given by the old man, covered their mouths and noses with a handkerchief, and continued to go to the valley.

The further I go, the more irritating the smell becomes, the trip has already passed halfway, Wei Ge faintly repulsed to his stomach, Xia and Autumn are fine, the body is not uncomfortable, and I don't know if it is related to the fetal poison in the body.

She fed Wei Ge two more antidote pills, and seeing that his condition was not too bad, she continued to move forward.

Along the way, Xia Qiu secretly observed, not like the traces of people walking, but found a few bones, some people are also animals, should have strayed into this place and died of poisoning.

The valley was like a funnel, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to reach the bottom of the valley.

There is a lake at the bottom of the valley, a black lake, to be precise, the water in the lake is black, and it is from here that the stench comes from. The black water, churning and bubbling from time to time, seemed to be boiled.

Xia Qiu took a tree branch and poked it twice into the lake.

The black water on the branches of the tree is very sticky and smells extremely choking.

"Sister Xia, what is this?" Wei Ge was curious and wanted to reach for some.

Xia Qiu hurriedly opened his hand, "Be careful of poison." ”

If you guessed correctly, it was these liquids that started the fire thirty years ago. Can this black thing really burn for half a year?

Xia Qiu found an open and clean place, lit it with a fire breaker, and saw that the black suddenly burst into flames, emitting black smoke.

The two were amazed and stared at the branches. The black liquid burned for a while and did not go out until the liquid burned dry.

Xia and Autumn concocted it in the same way, burned it a few more times, and even untied the water naan and boiled water on the branches.

The flame was smaller, but not completely extinguished, and as the water dried, the flame lit up again.

If these fires were poured on the golems, the monsters would be enough to incinerate to ashes.

In his previous life, Lu Tingxiu confiscated and requisitioned all the fire oil in the city, but unfortunately the fire oil was a controlled commodity, and in the face of the puppet corpses, the fire oil in the city was just a drop in the bucket.

This liquid is more difficult to extinguish than fire oil, and the taste is a bit similar to fire oil, so it should be this kind of thing.

It was not early, so the two of them filled the water bladder with black liquid and went home.

Halfway through, Xia Qiu suddenly said to Wei Ge: "Don't tell Lord Lu about today's incident. ”

Wei Ge is a real child, "I can't lie to Lord Lu. ”

"Lord Lu is an official of the imperial court, and his work is bound by the law, he must have enough evidence to rectify Wu Tongxing's gang, even if he is captured alive, how many of his subordinates can be severely punished?" Xia Qiu glanced at him indifferently, with a mocking expression on his face, "Except for a few people who are in charge, the rest of the hundreds of people, the big evil has not committed small evil, and in the end, it is not to escape the punishment of the law." ”

Wei Ge was silent, his eyes red as he lowered his head, and his hands were tightly clenched.

"This is still the best idea, if Wu Tongxing takes all his subordinates and has a vicious fight with the government, even if we win, have you ever thought about how many deaths and injuries will be killed?

This thing is a rare commodity, if it is packed with a few barrels and smashed into Wu Tongxing's house, his home will instantly turn into a sea of fire. ”

Wei Ge looked up in shock. Why didn't he think of it?

"But if Lord Lu knows, he will inevitably report to the imperial court, but the imperial court is thousands of miles away, and there are many Wu Tongxing's internal responses in the palace, if they know, will they send someone to rob it?"

Wei Ge was silent for a long time, then looked up and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"Of course, we can't let anyone know, we secretly store it and take it out when we need it."

"Okay." There was a silence for a while, and Wei Ge's gaze was firm, "I listen to you." ”

Xia Qiu was at ease, with this thing in his hands, even if the puppet corpse really attacked the city, Lu Tingxiu's chances of winning would be much greater.

Out of the Black Burning Mountain, reconnoiter the surrounding terrain. Within a radius of five miles, there are more than a dozen scattered families.

When he returned to the city, Xia Qiu immediately found Ergou and asked him to buy all the fields of the dozen or so families in the name of building a manor and move out as soon as possible.

There are rumors of evil spirits in Heizhuo Mountain, plus there are barren mountains nearby, and the land is barren, so it shouldn't cost much.

After staying in Heizhuo Mountain for too long and inhaling a lot of foul smells, Wei Ge's body is fine, but his appetite is not good. He is not good at lying, and he looks at Lu Tingxiu's gaze with dodge.

Lu Tingxiu had already noticed it, and after Wei Ge left, he squatted where he had stopped and picked up a tiny clod of soil from the ground.

The clod of dirt was dropped from the soles of Wei Go's boots, and was hard and sticky.

Twisting the clods of soil with his hands, Lu Tingxiu put it in his nose and sniffed it, and his expression suddenly became grim.

How could this kind of thing appear in Lin County?
