Chapter 10: The First Entry into the Forest of Resentment
Xu Quan Xiantingxin walked into the city, found a secluded post house to rest, the door of the hotel can be crowded, only two guests live here temporarily, one guest is a merchant passing through this place, no need to say much, and the other man is extraordinary, five feet seven inches long, and soft armor is hidden in the brocade clothes.
Xu Quan saw that the man had three cards tied around his waist, the cards were written with three words, and the reputation of the Dangkou, this card Xu Quan also had a piece in the bag, which was rewarded by the city lords, and those who went out to go out of the bandits, brought back the head of the bandits, and they could receive this card, and those who held this card had discounts on the consumption of the city lords everywhere, and the cost of accommodation was halved.
Looking at the man's face again, his face is like Fu powder, his eyes are straight, his nose is full of goatee, his body is burly and he is feasting, and the dishes on the table are piled up, and his appetite is amazing, which attracts passers-by to look sideways frequently, Shen Yue saw it, and said, "Do you recognize the axe in that person's hand?"
There is really an axe beside the man, although the axe is not good-looking, but it is unstoppable, Xu Quan is silent when he hears it, Shen Yue said, "There should be thirty-seven souls under the axe, this axe is called the evil dove, it was originally held by the military generals under the command of Emperor Yan, and then tossed and turned to the hands of He Qi, the military general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. ”
When Xu Quan heard this, he pretended to be stupid and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Shen Yue knew that Xu Quan was pretending to be stupid, and said helplessly, "Eh, although the strength of the evil dove is decent, but now it is difficult for you and me to achieve a great cause alone, why don't you go all the way with him?"
When Xu Quan heard this, he didn't say a word, got up and pretended to be drunk all the way to the man's side, and knocked down a bowl, Xu Quan saw the bowl fall to the ground, and exclaimed, "Eh, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. ”
When the man saw it, he smiled and said, "Eh, it's okay, it's okay." ”
The man saw that Xu Quan's waist was also tied to the reputation of Koukou, and then asked, "I don't know where Your Excellency came from?"
Xu Quan sat down and replied with a smile, "Coming from Baisha City, I met bandits on the road and fell here, I don't know your honorable name?"
The man caught a glimpse of the spear in Xu Quan's hand, how could he not know that this gun was a shimmering shadow, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, and said with a smile, "Your surname is Chen, your name is Jin, and you are also passing by here to rest, I don't know where Your Excellency is going?"
Xu Quan replied truthfully, "Uh...... Cangyun City. ”
When Chen Jin heard this, he smiled and said, "Qiao, I am also about to go, why don't you go all the way......?" Who is that?"
Xu Quan casually pointed at Shen Yue and said, "My brother, surnamed Shen Mingyue...... It is a pleasure for me to walk with you. ”
In short, Chen Jin has a bold personality, is straightforward, and is not good at scheming, and this is in line with Xu Quan's meaning, after drinking a few glasses of turbid wine with him, Chen Jin said that his ancestors were of the eighteenth generation, he came from a humble background, his parents died early, and he was taken in by an old man, one of the reasons was that the old man was surprised to see his bones.
Sure enough, Chen Jin has been practicing martial arts with the old man for three or five years, and the old man recently went west by crane, Chen Jin went down the mountain after burying his body, and got rid of the bandits on the way.
Chen Jin and Xu Quan's alcohol consumption was not flattering, Chen Jin was drunk, climbed his shoulder and said, "But let's go all the way to Cangyun City, and then take him a few bandits, and then all the silver women will belong to you, I just need to order the Koukou, how about it?"
Xu Quan pretended to be drunk and said with a smile: "Eh, how can I let Your Excellency suffer?
Xu Quan saw that Chen Jin was drunk, stood up and walked to his original position, and said, "It's okay." ”
Shen Yue didn't say a word.
And said that the west gate of the Great Wall was secretly opened, the sound was deafening, three hundred men and horses galloped out, and divided into three teams to investigate the periphery of the Great Wall, trying to find Xu Quan's corpse, the result can be imagined, the military minister returned in vain, Wu Cao was restless, so he sent more men and horses to 1,000, and ordered him to be sure to find Xu Quan's corpse.
Wu Chen received the order, led a thousand men and horses back to the Great Wall, and did his best to find its traces, but the black sand is endless, it is difficult to find the traces of people, and I am afraid that Wu Cao will blame him for returning to the United States in vain, and a strategist admonished and said, "The general can lead five hundred horsemen to one side to gallop to explore, and leave a mark every mile." ”
The military ministers hesitated, and so far no one dared to explore beyond the Great Wall, and the strategist Wuchen hesitated, fanning the flames and saying, "If the general does not do his best, the emperor will probably blame you." ”
When the military minister heard this, he was no longer indecisive, and led five hundred horsemen to gallop away non-stop, leaving a spear for every mile he walked, so that he could return the way he came.
Said that the more than 500 horsemen ran for a hundred miles was already sleepy and lacking horses, and the military ministers ordered all the soldiers to set up camp and go down to the village, rest for a night and want to return, who knew that a group of people and horses suddenly came, it was a group of mourners.
How could the sergeants under the command of Wuchen have seen such a terrible thing, mistaken it for the Chiyou Yu Party, knelt down to worship, but were covered up and killed by the mourners, most of the sergeants were covered up and killed, most of the sergeants were in different places, and the dead were eaten by the mourners, like hell on earth.
Wuchen fought to the death, and only ran for more than ten miles, and suddenly saw the sand in front of him turn from black to white, and then walked more than ten miles, and saw a city, and that city was Baisha City.
Besides, the next day, when Chen Jin woke up, it was already three poles on the sun, and when he went downstairs to see that Xu Quan had been waiting here for a long time, a group of three people exchanged the carriage for gold yuan, and took three good horses to rush to the outside of the city.
The three of them traveled all the way, as if they came to visit the mountains and rivers, there were no jackals and tigers nearby, and there were no roadblockers, after the three people went down the mountain, they went all the way to the official road unimpeded, and they went to thirty miles, but they saw a river in front of them, the river was turbulent, it was difficult to cross without a boat, and they saw that the bridge in front of them was broken, and it was really impossible.
In desperation, the three of them had to take a side path, who knew that this sheep intestine trail leads directly to a forest, the vegetation and trees of this forest cover the sky and the sun, and the fog is thick, it is difficult to see the road ahead, and it is difficult to walk an inch, and now it is almost dusk, the sun is setting, and the three have no choice but to sleep in the forest.
The forest was silent, there was not a single bird or beast, the firelight was faintly reflected on everyone's faces, the three of them were silent, it was really creepy, suddenly, Shen Yue suddenly said, "Go and fill the water bag." ”
Xu Quan saw that Chen Jin was unmoved, so he had to go to a small lake in the forest alone, slowly opened the water inlet, and wanted to fill it with water, but he was so frightened that he ran away.
The lake is clear during the day, although there are no fish and shrimp, you can also drink its clear water, but at night it is muddy, there are several rotting corpses on the surface of the lake, the corpses are soaked in water and swollen, and have been dead for a long time.
Xu Quan fled back to the camp in a panic, seeing that the campfire was not extinguished, but he did not see Chen Jin and Shen Yue, it was the height of summer at this time, and there was a biting wind blowing in the forest, Xu Quan was already frightened, and he ran like a headless fly on the horse.
When the three of them entered the forest, they took it lightly, but they didn't see a wooden sign in the barren grass on the side of the road, and there were two lines of blood words on the wooden card: go straight ahead to the resentful fog forest, and the resentful souls gather together and do not enter lightly.
Xu Quan hurried all the way, wanting to get out of this forest, but its dense fog covered the sky, his horse galloped was exhausted, Xu Quan was frightened and suddenly saw a clearing in front of him, and there was a person in the clearing, and that person made Xu Quan's soul scatter.
