Gu Changming decided to stay overnight for a day and leave, Fang Laoqi wanted to persuade him to stay for a few more days, but to no avail.

"We haven't asked which village this is?" Dai Guozi walked over and asked with a smile.

Fang Laoqi already knew that this young man with peach blossom eyes would not only learn his voice. As long as it is a dialect and tone that it has heard, most of them will quickly learn to be catchy. Therefore, instead of being afraid, they are more respectful of the fruit's ability.

"Huyun Village." Fang Laoqi was followed by his two daughters, and the family was busy in and out, "Let me tell you a good news, those wolf skins have found the next home, the deposit has been given, and they will all be taken away in the near future." I have distributed this money according to the casualties. ”

"In the future, the people in the village will be blessed to have such a good village chief." As soon as Dai Guozi turned around, he saw Liu Zhuxue coming in with a piece of paper in both hands, "Finished drawing?" ”

"Yes, it's all drawn according to what the mother-in-law said." The little phoenix followed behind Liu Zhuxue, and listening to the form and writing down is also a craft of Qi Kunmen. Otherwise, how can you step on a point in an unfamiliar place and start.

The mother-in-law, who had experienced the catastrophe of the wolves sixty years ago, had a good memory, and was able to tell roughly where the wolves came from and where they were going when they finally left. Little Phoenix asked a few key questions and drew the direction of the entrance from the village to the mountains.

Then Su Na determined the location of the treasure map, which was completely said by Gu Changming, the mountain is connected to two places, and it is only necessary to walk ten miles from here to reach the nearest place into the mountain.

Fang Laoqi had heard his daughter say that the little phoenix was bitten by the wolf king, and he didn't know what these people were capable of, so he had only raised it for two days and was able to get up and walk around. If it weren't for the fact that Little Phoenix's face looked slightly pale, there would be no signs of injury at all.

"Bring me the drawings, I'll take a look at them." Gu Changming took it from the little phoenix, and roughly compared it, it may be a little difficult for our carriage to enter the mountain, and we have to worry about the village to prepare appropriate dry food and water for us. After entering the mountain, there are too many unknown conditions, and you can feel at ease with these sides. “

When Fang Laoqi heard this, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked his family to prepare. Even if the foot is fast, it will take more than ten days in the mountains, and the dough must be kneaded to the strongest strength and roasted with fire to remove all the water. The dried meat was also treated in the same way, and the blacksmith in the village was asked to make a small iron pot overnight, which was very light but extremely easy to use. Make a fire anywhere and boil dry food and dried meat with water to fill your stomach.

Early the next morning, Gu Changming chose to leave in the morning. Fang Laoqi was already waiting for them at the entrance of the village, sending people to the entrance, Gu Changming would only take away the snow, and the carriage would be left in the village, which should be a little thought for the old seven family.

"Childe, the carriage and this horse are temporarily stored, and you will come to the village to pick them up when you come back. I'm not going to starve this horse, and I'm going to feed it with good fodder. Fang Laoqi knew that such a carriage would cost a lot to build, and he would not monopolize anything.

"If you stay in the village, I think it's very necessary to help carry some heavy loads, so you don't need to be polite." Gu Changming never said that if he went out to find Xiaosi's stall and left his mother's life behind, maybe the wolves would not have been so mad. Although it was for a quick decision, after all, he could have acted more cautiously.

"Then I'll take it as a borrowing, and I can take the carriage with me any day." Fang Laoqi followed them all the way to the entrance of the mountain, looking at the narrow mountain road, "If Gongzi's horse can't go over the mountains, let it come down the mountain if it can't go halfway, I'll help take care of it." ”

Gu Changming patted the back of Treading Snow: "This horse of mine knows the way home, if you can't take it away, I will let it go back by itself, and I won't bother you much." ”

Fang Laoqi reluctantly stood in the distance, watching the figures of the five people gradually disappear in the lush woods, and then waited for a stick of incense to make sure that they had gone far before driving the horse back.

Dai Guozi looked down at the soles of his feet as he walked: "If it weren't for the traces of wolf dung here, I really can't believe that such a huge pack of wolves would come down from such a trail." ”

Gu Changming asked the little phoenix to sit on the back of the snow, saying that her injuries had not healed and she couldn't work too hard. The little phoenix couldn't resist him, sat up with a red face, and he said: "There is not much wolf dung on the mountain road, these wolves come all the way from the mountains, and they don't even care about predation, do you remember what the mother-in-law said?" ”

"There are evil spirits in the mountains, and even these wolves are afraid, so they have to run out of the mountains and run to the villages to eat people." Liu Zhuxue listened to her mother-in-law repeat it several times, and then wanted to ask what the evil ghost was? The mother-in-law covered her face with her hands, as if recalling the most horrific memory, and cried so much that she almost fainted.

After this situation happened twice, Liu Zhuxue didn't dare to ask again, for fear of stimulating the old man too much and forcing him to death.

She refused to say what the devil was for two reasons. One is that he is too scared to say it, and the other is that he heard rumors from adults when he was a child, but he has never seen it. As he grew older, the rumors became true, making him believe that there was no doubt about the existence of evil spirits, but there was no way to describe what it was. Gu Changming saw that the mountain road was like a sheep's intestine, twisting and turning, and it had not been artificially carved at all, only trampled out by those animals or occasional passers-by.

I don't know how many years it will take to have such a looming mountain road.

"Don't people from nearby villages go into the mountains to hunt or pick medicinal herbs?" The little phoenix is a little strange, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the water to eat the water. The village is not far from the mountain, and after entering the mountain, it can be said that there are treasures everywhere, why don't you see the villagers making a living from it?

"If there were old people in the nearby villages, they would definitely tell the legend of the evil spirits in the mountains. As long as someone who enters the mountain disappears every once in a while, or never returns, then the rumors will be convincing, and they will not dare to mention the stupid words of entering the mountain again. Even if you can find gold and silver everywhere in the mountains, you will lose more than you lose by throwing your life into it. Gu Changming turned around and wanted to look at the road, but as soon as he turned around, the road behind him had long been covered by different shades of green, as if there had not left the slightest trace.

"You mean there have been people dead in the mountains?" Suna pressed her ear, and after entering the mountain, Xiaojin was very quiet. This kind of quietness is different from the previous physical exhaustion, as if returning to the environment that makes Xiao Jin feel at ease, every grass and tree here can soothe Xiao Jin's injuries,

Su Na and Xiao Jin have the same heart, that kind of peaceful feeling, so that she is also comfortable, I can't wait to stay in the mountains for the rest of my life, and I don't want to go back to any village, I am willing to eat and sleep in the open.

"What's the difference between never going back and dying?" Gu Changming has not seen human bones on either side of the mountain road so far, at least not dead in the wild.

"And what do you think is a demon?" Dai Guozi touched Gu Changming with his elbow and flew obliquely towards the little phoenix. The little phoenix is stubborn, but in fact, such a wound is forcibly sutured to stop bleeding with Gu technique, and the deficit of the body itself cannot be made up for in a day or two. The man who was still talking, when he said he was asleep, lay on his horse's back, with a bloodless little face attached to the mane of the snow, his eyes closed and motionless.

"It's invisible. Because I don't know the truth, it's even more shocking. "Gu Changming has roughly been able to determine that there will be a change in the mountains every sixty years. In the rolling mountains, the wolves are at the top of the food chain, and they still dare not stay in the mountains, and they flee all the way to the farthest exit, which is also the closest exit to the human village.

The mother-in-law in the village has experienced the same nightmare twice, that is to say, there is a mechanism in the mountain, and it will open regularly.

"Organs?" Dai Guozi repeated two words puzzled, "I said, how did you deduce that there was a mechanism in the mountains from the wolves attacking the village?" ”

"It's easy because of the time. Fixed time, it can only be a mechanism. "Gu Changming doesn't need others to fully trust his judgment, the facts will speak for themselves.

"Then it has something to do with the treasure map. Don't forget what Little Phoenix said, the treasure map was drawn by her, casually! Dai Guozi shouted unconvinced again, and was twisted on his arm by Liu Zhuxue beside him, and then he honestly shut up.

"You put the treasure map in Suna's hand and the new drawings drawn by the little phoenix after listening to what her mother-in-law said, and overlap them for a look." Gu Changming directly shook off a sentence.

Dai Guozi took one from Su Na's hand, and took out another one from the bag that tread the snow, and looked at it in the direction of the light, overlapping together, and squinting slightly. Immediately, his voice trembled slightly, and he said, "The two are almost overlapping. ”

"Yes, almost eighty or ninety percent overlapping." Gu Changming glanced at the little phoenix who was still asleep, "Even she didn't notice it herself." ”

"You can find it if you look at it, both of them were drawn by her, and she can't see them!" Dai Guozi suddenly found the problem, "She deliberately concealed it and didn't say it?" ”

"It's that she can't find out at all." Su Na opened her mouth leisurely beside her, "I remember that there is a kind of Gu worm called Heart-Urging Gu, which is not a murderer, nor does it make you seriously ill, but makes you subconsciously forget a part of your memory." It's like you have a lot of money at home, but you can't remember it. Although you can't remember it, the money won't disappear. ”

"When you think about it, you can find out the money." Dai Guozi is a smart person in the end, and he understands a little, "There is a lot of money, but it has been forgotten." ”

"In other words, even if the little phoenix sees two pictures at the same time, she won't find that they are the same." Gu Changming smiled bitterly, "It's strange, isn't it, maybe she has drawn countless drawings of the same kind, and she still won't remember." ”

"There are obviously no traces of Gu worms on her body." Su Na's fingertips just pressed on Xiao Jin's body, "Now that You Ying is gone, Xiao Jin won't deceive people." ”

"What if it's not a Gu worm?" Gu Changming retracted the gaze that lingered on the little phoenix, "It's not a Gu worm that can make the same result, someone from the Western Regions can do magic, and he can make people obey his command through small objects, and he will fall asleep when he says he will fall asleep, and he will open his eyes when he opens his eyes, and he will play with people in applause, just like a marionette." ”

"Also, do you still have the ability to do this?" Su Na was dumbfounded and looked at the little phoenix in surprise, "Didn't she notice it at all?" ”
