In the past half a day, Zhu Hongyu and Du Wu searched most of the mountains, and also searched for them according to the instructions of the female crown, but there was no trace at all.

Everyone said that they had not seen the newcomers, and Zhu Hongyu really couldn't help but doubt her choice.

Seeing that the sun had set, Zhu Hongyu and Du Wu had to find a farmer in Shanyang to settle down, waiting for tomorrow to continue looking for someone.

The reception of the two was a tiger hunting family, which had just returned from hunting today, and had hunted a roe deer, which was said to be very delicious.

Zhu Hongyu had never eaten this kind of game, so she took out the silver to negotiate with the farmers for food and housing, and was naturally readily agreed.

In the evening, the hunting tiger came back with firewood, and asked the insiders to clean up the roe deer, and he cleaned up the oven in the house himself.

Orion's insiders first scooped up the internal organs, dried what they could use, and peeled off the fur to dry.

After that, the roe deer was washed with water, tied with wooden strips, and placed on the fire to roast slowly.

Orion and his wife were making roe deer in the main house, and Zhu Hongyu and Du Wu were sitting at the table in the main hall drinking tea.

Seeing that it was dark, the roe deer was roasted.

Orion found an oil lamp that he had never used and lit it, and the house was lit up at once.

The four of them sat in one place, and it was very harmonious.

Orion cut a leg for Du Wu, and then cut the tenderloin for Vermilion.

The two of them were naturally not polite, and hurriedly ate.

Orion looked at the two of them, and they didn't look like people from Liangzhou, and they couldn't help but talk on the wine table.

"Are you from Liangzhou?"

Zhu Hongyu ate meat and didn't want to speak, so Du Wu answered: "No, we are also from afar."

Orion poured Du Wu a glass of wine, thinking that the two might be a couple who came to worship, and naturally did not think about the relationship between the two.

"Where did you come from?"

Du Wu drank a glass of wine with Orion and said, "I came from Ganzhou and walked for more than a month. ”

Orion expressed surprise that he had only heard of such a distant place, but had never been there.

"Really? So you're coming for the pilgrimage? I heard that Ganzhou is much better than our Liangzhou. ”

Du Wu sighed and glanced at Zhu Hongyu.

"There are some things at home, come here to solve them. Besides, I'm from the Western Regions, and I often do business and go out for business. Green Ridge to Ganzhou also run. I never thought about it far or not. ”

Orion smoked a cigarette and nodded as he understood something.

"So what did you do when you came up the mountain? Worship the gods? It's not time for you to catch up. ”

Zhu Hongyu was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it time?" When do you want to come here? ”

"That's natural, you don't understand. We have a temple fair on the third day of the third month of March, and at that time it was only spiritual to worship the gods, and now it is useless. ”

Don't talk about worshipping immortals, Zhu Hongyu doesn't believe it now.

The four of them originally had no topic, and Zhu Hongyu thought that since her search had no results, why not ask the locals where they should go to find talents.

"Tell the truth, the store. A very important family member in my family has come to Kongtong Mountain to cultivate. The old man in the family is in very bad health, and I want to see him for the last time. That's why we went up the mountain to find it. Do you know where these people from other provinces will go to become monks? ”

Orion lit the dry smoke without saying a word, and looked at Zhu Hongyu and thought for a long time.

Then he slowly exhaled a smoke ring, as if he knew something terrible.

"Hey, it's not good where your relative goes, if you have to go to this mountain, I'm afraid you won't be able to live!"

Zhu Hongyu frowned, pretended to be calm, and hurriedly took out a small silver ticket of one or two silver from his wallet and handed it to Orion in front of the insiders.

Orion was surprised to see the silver ticket and asked, "You—What are you doing, girl?" ”

Zhu Hongyu pursed her lips and said, "We have just arrived, and we really don't know what to do. I hope you will tell us that there is still a way to live? ”

Orion sighed and returned the silver ticket to Vermilion.

It's not that he doesn't lack money, but if he asks for Zhu Hongyu's money at such a critical moment, he will have a troubled conscience.

"Girl, since you're here to find someone, I'll tell you the truth. Huijun, you go and close the door. ”

Orion's insiders stood up and hurried to close the door.

At this moment, Zhu Hongyu felt that Orion was really a good person, and was willing to tell her some news that she didn't know.

"Hey, our family has lived in the mountains for generations, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, in the end there are more prey for hunting and few vegetables. The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple on the mountain are all hypocrites, what do you say they eat? ”

Zhu Hongyu showed a difficult smile, and she asked tentatively, "Human flesh?" ”

Orion looked at Vermilion and smiled.

"Girl, you're very smart. You must know that human flesh is not meat, and these people are really smart enough to let the new Taoist priests from other lands go to the edge of the cliff to offer incense. So they don't have to kill, and they can eat meat. What a great idea. ”

Zhu Hongyu felt a chill in her back when she heard this.

"So, what do we do now?"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Orion anxiously, and Orion looked at his insider.

"Girl, I can't help it. There are so many Taoist priests on this mountain, how do you say to find someone? They said that people in the temple haven't started yet, didn't you look around today? If they say that this person is gone, I am afraid that he has ......."

Zhu Hongyu stood up suddenly, looked at Orion nervously, and she looked at Huijun again.

I don't know what kind of force urged me to kneel down all of a sudden.

The tears were coming down.

"Please, can you tell me...... What should I do? ”

Orion's insiders hurriedly helped Zhu Hongyu up, and their eyes were full of love.

"Big girl, don't do this. What happened on this Kongtong Mountain...... In the end, it's dark, and no light can get in. You're in a hurry, but we're scared, it's really hard to do. ”

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly wiped away her tears and asked, "Is there any way to do that?" At least these Taoist priests let the newcomers go to the cliff to burn incense, so tell me about this place, and let's go find someone together. ”

Du Wu was heartbroken when he saw this scene on the side.

Shamans do have a tradition of sacrificing people, including the Great Khan who would bury his concubines with him after his death, and let them kill themselves with bowstrings.

But this was the first time he had heard of such appalling rumors.

Killing people to eat meat in order to keep the precepts!

What kind of evil genius came up with this idea?

Huijun glanced at her husband, and Orion naturally showed a tacit expression.

"It's hidden, but we know where it is. It is said to be under the stone of San'in Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang. There are often Taoists who fall to their deaths. Usually they die in Taoist robes, and they are carried back and dismembered. So...... If your family is dying, you might as well look for it. Now it is more auspicious, if there is news that he has died, he will mourn and change......"

Zhu Hongyu nodded suddenly.

In the evening, Orion vacated a house and a bed in the outhouse, and lived with Zhu Hongyu and Du Wu.

Zhu Hongyu is very aggressive, as long as she doesn't sleep in the same bed with Du Wu.

Du Wu saw that Zhu Hongyu might as well do these things, so he didn't object, and very obediently took two quilts and put them on the ground.

One bed as a mattress, and one bed as a quilt.

Zhu Hongyu took off her coat and went to bed with only her middle coat.

Of course, sleep is just a pretense, she's just thinking about things.

When Du Wu saw Zhu Hongyu's appearance, he sat on the side of Zhu Hongyu's bed, full of concern.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? This Orion also pointed out a clear path for us, maybe tomorrow we can find the Golden Dao Chief? ”

"Is that alive or dead?"

Du Wu scratched his head, he didn't know what to say all of a sudden, Zhu Hongyu was good at everything, but he couldn't change the problem of liking people.

Zhu Hongyu saw that Du Wu was deflated and laughed.

"It's okay, everyone has their own life. If Jin Yuanjing is really dead, maybe this is his fate. In fact, I have thought about this matter for a long time, and not all the things I worry about are because of Jin Yuanjing. ”

Du Wu thought for a while, thinking that what Zhu Hongyu said should be what he said.

"Then why is the young lady worried?"

Zhu Hongyu gently bit her lower lip and said, "When I was in the village before, I had a good night with Runye. I think that although the Taoist priests in the world are not as good as Runye's appearance, their behavior is about the same. But now it turns out that it is not only different, but very different. Even a layman wouldn't do such a tragic thing, but how could they go to Liangzhou, and their moral bottom line was so low? Human flesh is not meaty, so you can eat it casually? In order not to touch one's own precepts, can you kill others? Isn't that a little too frustrating? ”

Faced with Zhu Hongyu's question, Du Wu had nothing to say, and he had no solution to this question.

"Miss, maybe the immortals in the world and the people who serve the immortals are the same, right? Don't you see us shamans like that? ”

Zhu Hongyu shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know." I used to think that you take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge. Whether I believe it or not, it's all the same. But now I'm more and more sober, I can't believe it, but I definitely can't hang up without caring about myself. ”

Du Wu looked at Zhu Hongyu and showed a worried look.

"Miss...... It's too dangerous, this time let's find Jin Daochang and take it away. There will be no such thing in the future, and there will be nothing to do for a lifetime, how is it bad? ”

"But......" Zhu Hongyu swallowed the second half of what she wanted to say into her belly.

Whose Taoist priest is not the son and daughter of whose family, and whose family does not have brothers and sisters?

They know Jin Yuanjing, and they can still find it, but those who really leave home to find freedom, isn't their lives a big deal?

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu's heart was really going to break.

Soon, Zhu Hongyu wiped away her tears, and it turned out that her heartache was meaningless.

"Du Wu, let's leave early tomorrow, don't let others see that we are going out from this house. Otherwise, we will also cause trouble for this hunter to find the corpse. Then let's go to the auspicious scenery of the dragon and phoenix to find ...... Hey......"

The pessimistic thoughts in Zhu Hongyu's heart prevailed, and she felt that it was more likely that she would not be able to find it.
