Chapter 194: The Hunchbacked Man

Jie Zhen and the others followed Jiang Dake to the top of a certain mountain peak in Moye Academy, there is a teleportation array here, the teleportation array is unattended, but it has the power of the rules set by the super overhaul, and only the task scroll stamped by the academy can stimulate the teleportation array and teleport across states.

Jiang Dake skillfully opened the task scroll, and used the source force to float the task scroll into the air, so that the power of the rules in the teleportation array was verified, and after verification, the teleportation array operated autonomously, emitting a beam of light that reached the sky.

"Let's go, there are coordinates in the quest scroll, and the teleportation array will teleport us to the designated location. Jiang Dake explained.

As all five people entered the teleportation array, Jiang Dake put away the task scroll, and the teleportation array began to vibrate, and one rule after another flew up, and it was actually a powerful communication with the stars, and the ancient stars were used as a medium to carry out tens of thousands of miles of extremely fast teleportation.

The stars shifted, and the ancient star power was stimulated and borrowed by the super overhaul with the remaining rules between heaven and earth, and a faint but heavy ancient star breath was permeated, like origami that had been sealed for many years, piling up time and dust, and it was opened at this moment, filled with smoke and dust, and slightly pungent.

They crossed the Smoke and Rain State and came to the Stygian Moon Mountain between the two states, and it took almost two hours, during which their bodies had a feeling of being shrunk, wrapped in the power of rules, source power, and ancient stars, and they walked extremely fast in the heavenly void.

However, you can see the overlook of the Yanyu Prefecture where you have passed, and the smoke is hazy, like a fairy state in the clouds.

I saw a huge but indistinguishable beam of light, moving extremely fast in the void, cutting through the sky, and falling to the boundary close to the Stygian Moon Mountain, leaving a regular pattern on the ground.

Jiang Dake, as a monk in the realm of life and death, was full of small spells in his hands, and the source power flowed from his hands, entering the regular pattern pattern, and the ground turned for a while, like going back in time, the pattern disappeared, the weeds were reborn, and the means were extraordinary.

"Wow, Senior Jiang is so powerful. Ling Qingshi said with sincerity and envy.

"Haha, it's okay, if you meet those bandits, you will know what I'm really good at. Jiang Dake laughed stupidly, patted his chest and boasted about his bold words.

Ling Qingshi's words were like the softest wine, and one or two sentences made Jiang Dake's body flutter.

"Is this senior reliable? Jie Zhen complained in his heart. However, Jiechen thinks that this Ling Qingshi is very good, he knows that he is from a proud family by looking at his clothes, but his demeanor is noble and natural, but he does not have a delicate porcelain body, he can't touch it, he is generous and decent, and he talks and laughs with Mu Xue and does not alienate the rest of the team, neither lowering his own value nor holding his own high value.

Jie Zhen has an evaluation of everyone in the team in his heart, although it seems that the team led by Jiang Dake is unreliable everywhere, but the overall is good, everyone in the team gets along harmoniously, and the most important thing is that there is a Mu Xue girl in the team.

"Hee-hee-hee. Jie Ke was a little happy when he thought about it, and he smirked like Jiang Dake, almost exactly the same, which made Jiang Dake and Jiang Cheng feel that Jie Ke was unreliable.

It's really a hero since ancient times who is sad about the beauty.

The four of them all looked at Jie Zhen and smirked, Mu Xue and Ling Qingshi didn't know why, Jiang Dake and Jiang Cheng secretly said that they were unreliable.

"What's the matter, Jie Scar...... Schoolmate. Mu Xue asked with big beautiful eyes, looking at Jie Zhen.

Jiechen was called back to his senses by Mu Xue, looked around, his face was embarrassed, and he was called by the girl he secretly liked in his heart, and he couldn't help blushing a little and couldn't speak.

Jiang Dake helped Jieji to break the siege, and said: "Let's go, don't waste time here, the pattern of the pattern that I have hidden is time-limited, once the time limit is lost, even if it is with the task scroll, there is no way to open the teleportation channel again and return to the Moye Academy, so I can only borrow the teleportation array of the dynasty city to go back." ”

Under the leadership of Jiang Dake, the five of them began to rush to the Stygian Moon Mountain. The soil in this area of the Stygian Moon Mountain is black, as if it was soaked in the black blood of the past and formed by the fusion of years and rivers.

In short, after they entered the Stygian Moon Mountain Realm, they felt that the aura here was thin, and there was a rise and fall similar to breathing in the thin aura, echoing between this side of heaven and earth, looming, if it were not for the monk's transcendent spiritual sense, they would not be able to find it.

————

When they left, a figure came from a distance, very fast, and came to a stop where they had teleported.

The visitor was dressed in a yellow cloth robe, the clothes looked old, the hat covered his head, his face was not shown, and his figure looked short and even a little hunchbacked, like an old man who had reached the twilight of his crops.

"The chess pieces are in place, and the heavens change. Under the prosperous era, Tianyan is a miracle. The first game with these thousands of sentient beings began. The figure of the old man, who looked like a crop, was like a ghost, following their trail.

————

From a distance, the mountain looks like a crescent moon falling on the earth, and because the mountain is covered with black soil, it looks like a black bend, hence the name of the mountain of the Stygian Moon.

There are rivers and avenues at the bottom of the mountain, there are two villages on both sides of the river, Wei Ming Village and Chen Yue Village, Jie Zhen and his party walked into Wei Ming Village, the sunlight here seems weak, weakened by a certain substance left in the air, with the black soil on the ground, it seems that this place is a little gloomy, like the mass grave where lonely souls and wild ghosts wander described in ancient books.

After entering Wei Ming Village, the scene I saw was full of depression, and the doors of every house were closed, and I don't know if anyone still lives here.

There was a voice coming from the house, although the sound was not loud, but in this silent and depressed place, it was obvious that the village was not empty, and the arrival of Jieji and his party was also noticed by the people in the village.

The people in the procession, all of whom were spiritually extraordinary, had seen the houses in the eyes, those who had observed them through the cracks in the doors, with scrutiny and fear.

They stopped, and Jiang Dake said: "Let's ask the family about the situation, don't frighten the villagers." ”

As they pondered which house to knock on, a voice came from ahead.

"You ...... Is it someone from the Academy?" Ahead, an old man, with a wrinkled face and dark spots, was very old, and his steps were staggering, and he was walking towards them with a cane.

I saw that a little girl who was observing the outside through the crack in the door, after seeing the old man, her pupils suddenly contracted, her face broke out in cold sweat, and her feet trembled slightly, as if she had seen a ghost in a hundred days.

The old man walked over, Jiang Dake took the lead as the captain, and the rest followed, and the two sides met, Jiang Dake told the old man that he was from Moye Academy.

"Lao Yu is the head of this village, and he finally looked forward to you, you must be the master of our village, Lao Yu knelt down for you, please. The old village chief was about to kneel, with a crying tone in his words, Jiang Dake hurriedly supported him, and asked the old man not to do this.

"Old man, don't be like this, we are here to help you this time, now you tell us what is happening in the village first, and we can help you solve the difficulties." Jiang Dake helped the old man up, wanting to understand what was going on here.

"That's right, our village is far away from the city, and here is hundreds of miles below the mountain, only our Wei Ming Village and Chen Yue Village depend on each other and help each other, and rarely come and go with the nearest city that is also hundreds of miles away.

We lived a life of almost isolation, but what we didn't expect was that disaster fell from the sky, a month ago, a group of robbers entered the village and requisitioned the men in the village, who were in their teens and had some strength to forty or fifty years old, were all requisitioned, not only Wei Ming Village, but also Chen Yue Village.

We also resisted, but there were many monks among them, and several strong men who resisted were wounded and killed, and then the robbers used the children and women of the village to threaten the village men to comply, and in this way, the village men were captured by the robbers and put into the Stygian Moon Mountain. The old village chief explained the matter one by one.

"Then do you know what they are doing with the men in the village who are requisitioning them into the mountains?" Jiang Dake asked.

"I don't know, but they took all the digging tools from the village, and they were probably going to dig something. The old village chief replied.

"That's right. Old man, let's go to the mountains to investigate the situation, if we can, we may be able to rescue them today, compared to a group of bandits who will wander to this kind of remote place, there should not be too strong monks in the ranks. Jiang Dake analyzed.

However, Jie Scar felt that it was a little simple, and he saw the eyes that were watching them, hiding behind the crack in the door, but ten meters away, he could see clearly, their conversation with the old village chief did not weaken the fear in their eyes, was they used to living in isolation, carefree, and free from the world, unable to accept the arrival of outsiders, frightened by a group of robbers, or was there something else hidden?

At this moment, a little girl ran out of the corner, came over and hugged the old village chief's thigh, cowering, and looked at them.

"Don't be afraid, they're here to help us. The old village chief touched the little girl's head.

Trace's doubts vanished.

Others, it seems, don't think that much.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, let's go into the mountains and rescue your relatives. Jiang Dake gave a promise.

"Yes, little sister, sister will help you change the village to its original state. Ling Qingshi squatted down and shook her hand at the little girl.

Mu Xue was a little distracted, her eyes were a little distracted, and she felt that she was sad when she saw it in her eyes, and she wanted to comfort her, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she gave up.

"Then old man, you just wait for our good news, and we will go back as soon as we go. Jiang Cheng also came out and said a few words, mainly to reassure the old village chief and the little girl.

Jiechen and they said goodbye to the old village chief and the little girl, the road into the mountain of Styx Moon Mountain is not far from the entrance of Wei Ming Village, Jiechen and they went to Styx Moon Mountain when they left the village, crossed the stone bridge, walked a little way, and entered the mountain.

Along the way, there was a wave of doubts in Jieji's heart, and what he thought seemed to be in Wei Ming Village, falling into a "trap", under everything that made sense, it was like an illusion covered by wild grass, in fact, it seemed that there was no obstacle ahead, and all the underneath were hollowed out, but they were covered by weeds.

And they're moving forward.

It's just that Jiechen is now stuck in a loop, everything seems to be smooth and unimpeded, but it is actually a dead cycle, but Jiechen has not stepped out of the dead cycle of thinking and thinking, and the doubts in his heart are like invisible thorns, vaguely felt, but not touched.

————

Just now, in a house in Wei Ming Village, there was a little girl who watched them through the crack in the door, and she really saw it in daylight, because she saw "herself", and she actually ran out of the intersection between the houses and hugged the "old village chief"!?

However, wasn't the old village chief killed when the robbers entered the village because they resisted?

It's been a month since the bones were buried in the back of the village, what the hell is going on? This is Wei Ming Village, those people with a pair of eyes through the crack in the door, are afraid to ask.

I saw that the "old village chief" stretched out his hand to push away the little girl who was holding his thigh, and the little girl looked lifeless at the moment, like a puppet, falling to the ground, and her body seemed to be spliced together.

The source power was scattered from the "little girl", and the "flesh" disappeared, turning out to be just a puppet made of wood.

The "old village chief" looked at the Stygian Moon Mountain, his appearance had not changed, but his original short body shape, a little hunchbacked, and his height was even shorter, which seemed to be the real physical state of this person.
