The closer it is to the vicinity of the Fourteen Mountains, the more barren and gloomy it is, and the "Five Lakes and Four Seas" is the last inn to enter this mountainous area, and it can even be said to be the connection point and junction line between the human world and the other world, because the place after crossing this line, the grass and trees are towering, rugged and weird, and it is difficult to say whether the eyes see people or pretend to be ghosts.

Lu Ying's status as the "plague god" in Fang Jinsheng's mind is really not covered, with him with him, those chivalrous people from all over the world turned their nostrils to the sky and changed their ways, and no one was willing to walk with them.

That's not a bad thing.

Fang Jinsheng gave the bamboo cane he picked up to Chu Shannan, and followed him at the back, it stands to reason that it is more appropriate to leave this kind of thing to a man after the break, but Lu Ying wants to open the way, Chu Shannan is a blind man, and Fang Jinsheng is shouting that he wants to find his husband, so he is embarrassed not to do this part.

The foliage in front of him was as dense as the Amazon tropical jungle, Fang Jinsheng was dazzled, and he had to try to keep up with the pace of the blind man in front of him, and he was tired enough. However, it is strange to say that Chu Shannan suffers from eye disease, but he walks steadily, except for the need to take a bamboo cane to explore the way, it is like walking on the ground, and he does not lag behind at all.

Lu Ying, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, Fang Jinsheng took the opportunity to gasp for two breaths and asked Lu Ying, "Arrived?" ”

Lu Ying heard the sound of half of his face, and the corners of his eyes curved into a crescent shape: "How is it possible." ”

Fang Jinsheng wondered: "I haven't entered the Fourteen Mountains after walking for so long?" ”

"Huh? Then I'm afraid you are mistaken. Lu Ying casually pulled a delicate underage dog's tail grass and held it in his mouth, and a small plush green grass spike swirled in the air, "We have already entered the boundary of the Fourteen Mountains, don't you see?" ”

“…… No. Fang Jinsheng replied honestly, "Didn't you say that there is a bandit leader named Crow here?" What about bandits? ”

Because of the grass in his mouth, Lu Ying failed to make a "haha" laugh, and grinned crookedly for a while, quite like an old rascal.

"The fourteen mountains are very large, and there is only one jackdaw, they will not be guarded one by one, and there are sentry posts on various boundaries and roads in these mountains, and the defense is extremely tight, the reason why you didn't see the bandits is, of course, because there is a handsome and intelligent guide standing in front of you - Brother Chu, what do you think?"

The bamboo cane in Chu Shannan's hand knocked twice on the ground, and after finding out the road under his feet, he bypassed him without squinting.

Lu Ying glanced at him, let out a soft snort in his nose, and looked at Fang Jinsheng: "He is jealous that I am better than him, and he has stolen the limelight in front of you, man, it's all like this, don't take it to heart." ”

Fang Jinsheng nodded: "Yes, yes, I can see it." But according to what you said, you seem to be familiar with these fourteen mountains, and you have been here before? ”

Lu Ying paused for a moment, and laughed twice: "The little lady is very good at grasping the key points, yes, this post of suppressing bandits is posted every year, of course I have to come every year." ”

Fang Jinsheng: "Every year? ”

Lu Ying shrugged: "It probably started four or five years ago, and it has continued to this day, once a year, once a year." ”

Chu Shannan stopped not far ahead, as if waiting for them, Fang Jinsheng subconsciously glanced at him and said, "So, no one has succeeded in the past few years?" This jackdaw is so powerful? ”

Lu Ying smiled even harder, and a few thin folds were drawn at the corners of her eyes: "Otherwise, how could so many people go forward and try to become famous in one fell swoop?" ”

Fang Jinsheng couldn't answer for a while, blinked his eyes twice, and said, "Who is posting this, it's really persevering." ”

"Well...... this one" Lu Ying's tone of speech suddenly changed, and the tail note dragged on proudly, squinting his eyes, "No one knows, but I think it should be a unique figure in the world in Yushu Linfeng, otherwise how could there be such a feat?" ”

Fang Jinsheng rarely heard him praise someone other than himself so unhesitantly, and he jumped his eyebrows quite unexpectedly.

"Maybe there's a story in this—by the way, how could there be such a strange name as Jackdaw, is this his real name?"

"Little lady, you have a lot of questions." Lu Ying smiled, turned around and glanced at the mountain forest in front of him, the depths of the deep ancient trees seemed to be invisibly distorted into a black hole invisible to the naked eye, something was dancing with teeth and claws, waiting hungrily for them to break in.

"It's better to save your strength to break through the forest in front of you, and the answer in the back will be my reward for you, how about it?"

The killing of the bandit leader Jackdaw is held year after year, the title is bigger, what kind of participants are there, or evil sects, or evil people and evil things, Qinglu Gate such a famous and decent family, has become the benchmark and leader among this big passerby, even if some people claim to look down on these sanctimonious goods, but in private they are still thinking about how to take advantage of the abundant manpower and light luxury equipment of Qinglu Gate, how to make a profit without a trace, and grab the head.

Yun Qi, as the senior brother of all the disciples, naturally knew what the purpose of the group of opponents behind him was, but when the time came, he couldn't tear his face.

Mr. Feng Shui, who was holding a compass beside him, suddenly stopped, Yun Qi's hand holding the sword tightened, and he stepped forward: "Mr. Yu, what's wrong?" ”

Mr. Yu was silent, Yun Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at the compass that the pointer in the other party's hand was frantically throwing, frowned, and hesitated: "This is ......"

Mr. Yu is not too old, but his deep face and large black beard give people a very old-fashioned feeling, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes are very obvious, which looks like an unfolded fan bone at first glance. He stroked his beard and said, "In the forest ahead, I am afraid that there are evil things haunting. ”

People with ears stretched out listened to it and reported it to their own people, Mr. Yu didn't need a microphone to speak, but the news had been spread by this group of demons and monsters in an instant.

Yun Qi glanced at the slightly misty and unfathomable mountains and forests in front of him, and thought, "What does Mr. mean ......?"

"Detour."

"Hey," someone disdained and said unashamedly: "The dignified Lumen, you have to ask a half-old man to go up the mountain, I don't have that ability, do you take this porcelain work to make people see jokes?" ”

Mr. Yu was unmoved, looking at the mountains and forests thoughtfully. And several young disciples behind Yun Qi listened, their faces became darker than the other, and a slightly younger young man had already drawn half of his sword with one hand, turned around and shouted at the crowd: "What are you talking about! If you have the ability, don't follow us, you go into the mountains by yourself! ”

"Yo, this road is under our feet, but you can't walk it?" This voice is neither male nor female, and the yin and yang are weird to the extreme.

The young man was furious: "You guys! ”

"Stand down!" Yun Qi shouted in a low voice, although he couldn't stand this group of scoundrels who were even more scoundrels than bandits, but before he caught the jackdaw, using force with this group of people was nothing more than injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, and he couldn't get any bargains.

The senior brother spoke, and the young man had to obey, he unwillingly glared at the rabble behind him, and stood back in the middle of the disciples.

From time to time, there were sarcastic and ridiculed voices in the crowd, and a small number of decent people chose to turn a deaf ear, Yun Qi had a headache for a moment, endured his temper, and asked again: "Sir, is there no other way?" ”

Mr. Yu shook his head.

However, if you choose to take a detour, you will inevitably encounter the checkpoints on the mountains, the fourteen mountains span a wide area, and the checkpoints between each mountain are equipped with various news channels.

Thinking of this, Yun Qi took a deep look at the front, for a long time, and said, "Keep going." ”

Most of the disciples were relatively calm, because they thought that what the senior brother said must have his truth, except for a few timid, they looked at each other with iron faces, and secretly swallowed their saliva.

Mr. Yu only cares about exploring the way, and he doesn't care if they listen to the news they say or not. He stroked his beard, looked at a few young disciples, shook his head, and sighed.

When several of the little disciples saw this, their leg hair stood up.

The afternoon sun is the most intense and poisonous, and the light is also the most abundant, but in front of this mountain forest is only a few bleak white cold lights, the lush and dense canopy covers the sky and the sun, dividing the forest into two worlds, under the dense and impermeable canopy, the heavy fog is getting thicker and thicker, floating arbitrarily in a form visible to the naked eye, as if it is a lonely soul lost in the depths of the mountain forest, is wandering and frantically looking for an exit.

The further you go, the trees thinned out, and the bare rocks became more and more, and the stone surface was covered with moss, and the sound of water could be faintly heard. It stands to reason that this is a good sign, but as we move forward, the feeling of depression in the air grows heavier.

After walking for about two hours, everyone really saw a river, but there was no obstacle overhead, and there was a light wind on all sides, but no one felt the slightest sudden enlightenment.

The fog still hadn't lifted, the river had somehow taken on an eerie green color, and the hot and humid air was filled with a foul smell.

"Did you hear that...... Someone is crying......" A little disciple behind Yun Qi shrunk his shoulders and said hesitantly.

One next to him was stunned for a moment, and turned him hard with his elbow: "Don't talk nonsense!" Look at the road! ”

He may have heard it, but in order to calm people's hearts, he can only choose to pretend not to hear.

But this method didn't work, as soon as his words fell, a thin man among the Jianghu people who followed behind seemed uncertain, and said softly: "Is it a woman?" ”

"Fuck your mother, it's a baby!"

A slightly rough female voice sounded: "Where did this baby come from in the deep mountains and forests!" ”

After the woman finished speaking, the crowd suddenly fell into a brief silence, and the light wind in the mountains and forests became noticeable at that moment.

"Damn! Who pretends to be a ghost in front, see if Lao Tzu doesn't cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs! ”

As soon as this person's angry voice fell, the crying that lingered in everyone's ears came to an abrupt end, and the surroundings instantly became extremely quiet, as if everything had suddenly died, and the heavens and the earth had become a withered fish.

Suddenly—

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Giggle......

A chaotic and rampant burst of laughter suddenly surged from all directions, including young and old, men and women, either mad with joy or twisted like a mourning, surging like a tidal wave, burrowing into the depths of people's brains, and while everyone had a splitting headache, the fog became thicker and thicker, and quickly enveloped the entire river bank at a great speed.
