Chapter 272 is just a façade
Thus the whole worship process ended, and the people left with joy as if they had received a great favor. But in an hour, people came out on the street to tidy up the stalls and start doing business.
As for the things on the altar, they were left in this way, and even though the beggar was already hungry, he did not touch the things on it.
Until the moon hangs on the treetops, the whole city is quiet. The streets were empty and nothing but fallen leaves.
Jing Jiu supported his head and admired the night view outside the window, and yawned a lot, and the table was already scattered with empty wine jars. After waiting all day, there should be movement at this hour.
The shops that Jing Jiu was staring at quietly opened a crack in the door, and the two of them were dressed in black and wrapped tightly with their faces. Carrying two things on his shoulders, he was also wrapped tightly, and he couldn't see what was inside.
Another shop also opened its doors, and a dozen people worked together to push out six wooden carts to carry all the sacrificial offerings.
Look in that direction to send to the mountain.
Jing Jiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and this worship became more interesting. Lower your breathing all the way to adjust your speed to keep up.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the longer I followed these dozen people, the deeper I went, and gradually I could occasionally meet two or three people from the Buttenge tribe. Vaguely seeing through the jungle weeds that there was a bright bonfire ahead, Jing Jiu changed his route and did not intend to follow these people.
The first time I came to someone else's realm, I thought back to the information sent by Minghui. The information collected from Buttenger, although not complete, was sufficient.
According to the message given by Minghui, he avoided Buttenger's secret eyeliner and approached the bonfire smoothly. The people here walk in the mountains and forests all the year round and are very familiar with the terrain, so Jing Jiu can only be vigilant.
The houses of the Buteng tribe occupy a very large area, which shows that this group is quite numerous, and the terrain is a clearing between two mountains. I don't know how many people are still hidden in the dense forest.
Six wooden carts were pushed to the campfire, some people blew their long whistles, and one after another people came out of the house and surrounded them, with only the food on the carts in their eyes.
The food was distributed to the men in an orderly manner, and the two tightly wrapped strips were sent into the largest and most luxurious room, and then there was no movement.
It looks like the house where the patriarch lives.
The place where Jing Jiu squatted was a little far, and he could only see it from a distance. After hesitating to plan, I still plan to go down in person. If you don't figure it out tonight, you'll be itchy and won't be able to sleep.
A few steps to the house, when I suddenly heard the girl's frightened cry for help, followed by the sound of the fabric being torn. Jing Jiu had some conjectures in his heart.
He saw the scene inside through the window, and his eyes were full of disgust, confirming that his guess was right. I didn't stay long and returned to the city smoothly.
The so-called worship of the mountain god is just a pretense.
——
The first time Nanzhi had been away from Su Xiangsi's side for so long, there were many news and things that he had to do in person. Now that he is no longer listening to the bamboo courtyard, I don't know if Su Xiangsi has encountered any trouble around him.
But with a task on his body, there is nothing he can do about worrying. Liu Wu and Rosin also have a bit of martial arts, and they can cope with small fights.
Following the evidence left by the monsoon, Namggyi has been in the forest for two days. It's hard to find your way in the forest, and it's hard to find it.
In addition, there are other people in this forest, so it is better not to be alarmed or not to be careful. Fighting in the deep forest is obscure.
Squatting on a branch can clearly observe the situation below. Ji Wen immersed himself in digging herbs, and the bamboo basket beside him was almost full.
There were three assassins squatting near him, and judging by the posture of the attack, it seemed that they were preparing to make a move on Ji Wen.
Nanzhi casually broke off three small branches and pinched them between his fingers, focusing on the movements of these people.
Ji Wen carefully dug up the herb by the roots, wrapped it in soil, pulled out a rag and carefully wrapped it and put it away. Carrying a bamboo basket, he rummaged through the deep forest.
The Assassin approached him as well, holding a dagger close to his neck. When the assassin raised his hand to stab him with force, three strips of paper struck the dagger with a crisp sound, and the force was so great that the dagger was crooked. The tiger's mouth of the man in black was numb.
At this moment, Ji Wen lifted the bamboo basket and flew up with a light tap on his toes, flying towards Jing Jiu's tree trunk. The assassin tried to catch up, and a sharp sword was plunged straight in front of them, the blade glowing with cold light.
"Who!"
There were other people in this deep forest, and they had obviously explored the surrounding area clearly. can stop them unknowingly, and the martial arts must be profound.
Jing Jiu fell lightly from the branch and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Ji, are you injured?" ”
"Almost lost his life."
The corners of Jing Jiu's mouth twitched, Ji Wen had martial arts, and he knew it. The previous little Luo Luo was not his opponent at all.
"Who are you? Less nosy! The leader took out his sword and pointed it at Jing Jiu.
Just three small strips of paper can knock the dagger crooked, which shows that this person's internal strength is profound. You may not be able to beat it yourself, but you have a chance of winning with three against one.
Jing Jiu casually picked out a sword: "Fight quickly, let's come together." ”
Ji Wen silently stepped back, someone helped him solve the trouble, why not.
The assassins surrounded Jing Jiu in a triangular formation, exchanging glances with each other and making sharp moves. Jing Jiu also put on a posture and easily blocked these moves.
He hadn't fought with others for a long time, and he thought that those people would send people with profound martial arts to follow Ji Wen. It is also too underestimated for the monsoon temperature.
It just so happened that he was bored, so he played a few tricks with them.
The fight here is hot, there is no suspense about victory or defeat, and Ji Wen is boring to watch. Carrying a bamboo basket, he continued to dig herbs slowly.
Jing Jiu wanted to tease them, and the assassin was sweating from exhaustion. Knowing that dragging it out like this is not a solution, the code is right and they fly away together. Jing Jiu didn't hurry, took out three darts behind them, and threw them with enough internal force.
Three muffled grunts sounded, and the assassins who had already run out of the attack range fell to the ground in unison. The darts sank into their backs, leaving blood trails.
Pry open their mouths and stuff a few grains for them. Staying aside to make sure they were really angry, he turned around to find Ji Wen.
Ji Wen also happened to dig up the herbs, and Jing Jiu honestly lifted the bamboo basket and followed him. He drove to the stone wall, and walked around the heavy pile of grass that was a man high, and saw that there was a cave here. It is fully equipped with basic household utensils.
Ji Wen poured him a glass of water: "Sit down first, the conditions are simple and there is only spring water." ”
"Thank you, Doctor Ji. These are the orders of the young lady, and I must hand them over to you myself. Honestly, he sat down on a bamboo chair and took out a stack of information from his arms. It's all about sorting out what happened in the capital during this time, as well as the small city map and ancient tombs.
These are still past the eyes of the season, and maybe there will be more news.
Ji Wen sank down and looked at it all, and his face only changed slightly. He didn't expect Liang Zhiyi to be so eager to do it. There are some things that she should have prepared in advance.
"Grinding ink."
Ji Wen wrote very seriously, and only continued to write after deliberation, and it took half a column of incense to finish the pen. Take out one of the books from the pile of books, pat off the dust on it, and put the letter in it and hand it to Jing Jiu.
"Be careful when you go back. Several inns on the official road on the periphery of the deep forest are still Liang Zhiyi's people. No overnight stays. ”
