The tunnel is not wide, only allowing two horses to travel in parallel, so the speed of travel is relatively slow.

The team led by Jiang Cheng had forty-four brothers. Except for four men who acted as grooms to drive the horses, the other forty men formed two columns, and protected the two wagons of goods in the middle, and although they were still in the tunnel, they were all in a state.

The fifth Tingyun led the lame three and fell at the back of the team, talking and laughing with Bai Jie, which was incompatible with the dignified atmosphere of the whole team. Bai Jie, this girl, after staying in the Ghost King Sect for a day, came back and became much more cheerful and lively, and the impact of her grandfather's death on her seemed to have faded a lot.

Looking at Bai Jie's innocent and innocent smile, the fifth Tingyun was happy from the bottom of his heart. He had been worried that Bai Jie would be immersed in the pain of losing her grandfather, and the pain and hatred would grow in her brain, which would completely change her. But now, all the worries I had had become redundant.

I really don't know how the women of the Ghost King Sect did it, he muttered, but he was a little grateful to Ji Thirteen Niang and them.

Forty or fifty people, still dragging a large number of unknown goods, walked in the deep and narrow tunnel for about half a day, between twists and turns, Rao is fifth Tingyun tried to remember the direction, and when he finally came out, he didn't know where it was. I only know that the general direction of this group is to the north, as for the north to the east or the west, the fifth hearing cloud can not be distinguished.

The exit of the tunnel is in a deep mountain, which should be repaired by Huang Xiangtang after discovering the cave, and connecting it to Fengdu City, constituting an important underground transportation station of Huang Xiangtang.

After walking for a long time, people were sleepy and tired, Jiang Cheng ordered, the team rested in place, and set off again after a quarter of an hour.

"Jiang Vice-Hall, how far is it from Fengdu here?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest, the fifth Tingyun handed over the cripple three to Bai Jie, groped his way to Jiang Cheng and sat down, pretending to be casual and asked.

"It must be dozens of miles, don't look at the twists and turns of the underground road, we have passed directly under many mountain peaks, which saves a lot of time. Jiang Cheng didn't have any special resistance to the fifth Tingyun, and he answered as much as he could if the fifth Tingyun asked.

Fifth Tingyun asked again: "What about the distance from Yuzhong County? To be honest, I am in a hurry and need to arrive as soon as possible." ”

"If you are in Yuzhong, you only need to pass through the dead man's ditch in front of you, and you can enter the jurisdiction of Yuzhong County after walking a few miles. I don't know which city you're going to, but the territory in Yuzhong is not small. ”

The fifth Tingyun said: "Jiaqing Academy." ”

"Jiaqing City, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive tonight. Jiang Chengdao, "Our team is to Tianmen City, which is separated from Jiaqing City by a river. As long as there are no accidents on the road, we will definitely be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon. ”

No surprises...... Fifth, Tingyun muttered silently, how could it be possible if there was no accident? To put it bluntly, Sikong Ming's purpose in arranging him in this team was to create an accident!

"It seems that I can't catch up, and I've been delayed in Fengdu for too long. The fifth Tingyun counted the time and said, "There is a dead man's ditch in front, why is it called this name, it is strange and unlucky." ”

"Dead man's ditch, of course, there are more dead people. It is unclear exactly when this name was handed down, but according to local hunters, the name Dead Man's Ditch can be traced back to the beginning of the Yanhua Empire. ”

"Oh?" Anyway, I was idle and bored, and the fifth listened to the clouds and became interested.

Jiang Cheng had nothing to do at this time, so he simply told it as a story: "It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the Yanhua Empire, the territory of the empire was not as vast as it is now. At that time, the places west of Jialing Province, such as Sanchuan Province and Qinghu Province, were occupied by other countries, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first emperor was eloquent and strategic, and under an order, the bloody allied army went directly to the west, and it was in this group of mountains that a decisive battle was launched with other countries. ”

Bloody Alliance? Isn't this the army of the ancestors? Hearing this, the fifth Tingyun couldn't help but listen more seriously.

"The Allied generals at that time were brave, resourceful, and resourceful. I don't know what clever trick was used, but I actually lured the main force of the enemy's 200,000 men into the ditch of the dead. The place of Dead Man's Ditch is low-lying and there are towering mountains on both sides, so such a place is naturally a good place for ambush. ”

"The bloody allies hid on the tops of the mountains on both sides, and when the enemy army entered the Dead Man's Ditch, ten thousand arrows were fired and the mountains and rocks rolled. The bloody Allied forces occupied the commanding heights, shooting arrows, rolling stones, pouring oil, and setting fires, killing all 200,000 people in the Dead Man's Gully. The corpses were stacked on top of each other, mixed with the ashes of the fire burned in the mountains and forests, and after a few months, after several rains and suns, the corpses all rotted and stinked, and they could be smelled for ten miles. ”

Jiang Cheng spoke very carefully, but it is difficult to say how many ingredients are added to the vinegar, after all, it has been so long, and it will inevitably be a little exaggerated. However, it should be true that 200,000 people were buried in this dead man's ditch, and the war is a man-eating machine, what can the dead man's ditch be considered if it swallows only 200,000 people?

"After so many deaths, didn't the Allies clean up the corpses? If the corpses were left to rot there, it was likely to form a plague or a poisonous miasma. Many of the brothers were also drawn together to listen to the story.

"I don't know. Jiang Cheng spread out his hand and said, "According to the older generation of hunters nearby, that's how the name Dead Man's Ditch came from anyway." We don't know if there is plague or miasma in there, and we have traveled so many times, and we have not seen our brothers poisoned. ”

"Wait, Vice Hall Jiang. "Fifth, Tingyun is not concerned about plague, miasma, or anything like that, "You said that the Dead Man's Gully is low, and there are high mountains on both sides?"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"This kind of place is very easy to attack, and if the Ministry of Punishment is ambushed there, there is no possibility for our small group of people to escape. The fifth Tingyun analyzed, "Why don't you go to the mountains on both sides, and at least you don't have to worry about being ambushed when you walk from a high place." ”

"We have to go up and down the mountain to walk the mountain, firstly, the time does not allow it, and secondly, it is not easy for our carriage to go up. Moreover, the road of Dead Man's Ditch, we have not walked ten times in Huangxiangtang, but also nine times, if it is not safe, how can we insist on using this road. ”

As soon as Jiang Cheng said this, the fifth hearing Yun suddenly realized that he was really concerned about it.

But despite this, there was still a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, probably because the name "Dead Man's Ditch" made him feel uncomfortable, and he comforted himself in his heart.

The story was over, the team was done, and everyone set off again.

After traveling less than five miles, the fifth hearing cloud saw the so-called dead man's ditch. As far as the eye can see, there is a valley in front of it, as Jiang Cheng said, there is a towering mountain ridge on both sides of the valley, standing proudly in the vast jungle like a dragon's back. The mountains are connected to the clouds and the dense forests, and the valleys in the middle form a "concave" shaped terrain.

The mountains on both sides are not only steep, but also extremely extensive, Jiang Cheng is not wrong about this, crossing the Dead Man's Gully is indeed the fastest and shortest path.

"Don't worry, look there. Jiang Cheng saw that the fifth Tingyun was staring back and forth at the two mountains, and knew that he was still a little uneasy in his heart, so he came to the fifth Tingyun and pointed to the top of the mountain, "That's the bayonet that our Huangxiangtang has set up on it, with the flag as the sign, if there is a situation, a red flag will be planted on it." ”

Following the direction indicated by Jiang Cheng, the fifth Tingyun saw rows of earthen buildings looming among the green leaves, those buildings were crawling with vines, and if no one pointed them, it was difficult to find them with the naked eye. It was also thanks to the fifth Tingyun who broke through to the Nayuan Realm, and his five senses were much sharper than before, otherwise he would not have been able to see it.

He squinted, but didn't see the red flag around the row of buildings.
