Xiucai Mountain, formerly known as Mantou Mountain, is one of the few hills around Benlei Water City, which was renamed fifty or sixty years ago in memory of an honest and honest county official Wang Xiucai.

Not long after Li Bo and Ri Yunxiu left the city, they saw clouds and clouds, dark on all sides, and it began to rain again. At this time, it was probably autumn, the rain followed the fog at the same time, just after noon, the twilight was gloomy, the cold wind invaded the bones, if it were not for the two of them with internal strength, they would definitely be shivering from the cold. After walking for a few more miles, we finally found a mountain in the northeast of the city, which was not too high, at most sixty or seventy meters, but the terrain was complex and the area was vast.

The two of them walked around for a while, but they didn't find half a figure, and they were sweating profusely in a hurry, the climate was humid, the grass and swamp were muddy, and their legs were filthy and uncomfortable. Just walked to the north of the city, Ri Yunxiu saw the water and was kind, immediately rushed down, played for a while before he came out to say hello: "Brother Tianshu, you are also here!"

"I'm not going. Li Bo only washed his face by the river, looked around for some dead branches and leaves, urged them with true qi, and lit a bonfire.

Ri Yunxiu played for half an hour before coming out, took off her coat and pants, squatted down and rubbed her hands to bake the fire, wearing only a small belly pocket and panty skirt, and she didn't feel the slightest shyness.

In fact, she didn't know the difference between men and women, but she had been with Li Bo for a long time, experienced life and death together, and her feelings were unusual, just like relatives, diluting the concept of ordinary men and women.

"Don't freeze. Li Bo took off his dry coat and draped it over her, set up a wooden shelf, and dried her wet clothes.

"Brother Tian Shu, did you say we were in the wrong place?" Ri Yunxiu said as he buttoned it.

"Maybe they had a wrong message, and Yuan Gou'er didn't come to Xiucai Mountain at all. Li Bo handed her the cowhide water bag, "Drink, rest, and we'll look east when your clothes are dry." Alas, the fog is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"yes, it's annoying, or I might have found it. Hey, Brother Tian Shu......"

"Shhhhh Signal Riyunxiu to silence and prepare for battle.

At this time, the fog was thick, and even with the eyesight of the two people, they had to wait for the other party to come to a distance of more than ten meters before they could see it clearly.

The people who came were two men, dressed as villagers, one in his thirties in front of him, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and sharp-beaked monkey gills, who were not good people at first glance. The latter ones are fatter and younger. They were very familiar with the path, and they walked very fast, and after getting a few meters closer, Leng Buding saw the fire and Li Bo Riyunxiu, and the young man behind him shouted "Brother Monkey!", the two of them were stunned, and the four thief eyes were all focused on Ri Yunxiu.

She had just taken a bath, her clothes were drying, she was wearing Li Bo's wide coat that was not covered tightly, and she was squatting on the ground just now and was not visible, but when she stood up at this time, she immediately burst into dissipation. The wet hair on the top is scattered, revealing half of the white and tender shoulders, the doublet silhouette is slightly visible, and the bottom is even more eye-catching, and a pair of slender little white legs proudly show off, showing off the girlish charm to the fullest.

The person in front of him, known as Brother Monkey, was about to drip down, and he opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Ri Yunxiu's nirvana had already stormed over.

Her right hand was raised in the shape of a knife, her true qi condensed, and a circle of orange-red flames ignited on the edge of her palm. This is the Scorching Sun Fire Divine Skill Red Flame Palm created by Rixingtian, and its power is extraordinary. The palm knife cut over, and Brother Monkey's whole body was immediately shrouded in flames, his clothes were burning, his hair was scorched, and he rolled on the ground and screamed in pain. The young man behind him was so frightened that his soul was gone, and he turned around and ran, and soon disappeared into the fog.

Li Bo was afraid that Ri Yunxiu would overreact, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xiu'er, don't kill him." ”

Ri Yunxiu reluctantly stopped, turned around and said aggrievedly: "Brother Tian Shu, I hate the way he looked at me just now, I really want to roast him." ”

Li Bo said: "I hate it too. However, "he took her pants from the wooden rack and threw them to her," not enough to kill him. You put it on first. ”

"Can a girl's legs be seen casually? Damn it!" Ri Yunxiu lifted up her pants and glared at Brother Monkey angrily.

Brother Monkey was smoked to the blackened head and face, burning to the bones, coughing and just relieved his breath, when he heard the word "damn", he immediately screamed, jumped and turned around to face Ri Yunxiu and knelt down, and begged for mercy, "Heroine! Female Bodhisattva! Auntie! You spare me! I really didn't see anything!" After worshipping Ri Yunxiu and worshiping Li Bo, "Please raise your noble hands and spare the villain! There is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and a newborn baby waiting to be fed, and the family has seven generations of single transmission, but they are all counting on me!" Killing one of me is equivalent to killing my whole family, ah......" said with a howling cry, tears and tears.

Ri Yunxiu snorted, "Who are you fooling, you think we are three year olds?"

"What I said is true!"

"Really?" Li Bo looked down at Brother Monkey closely, his crotch was dark black and wet, obviously scared to pee. Li Bo smiled secretly in his heart and said, "I can not kill you, but you have to answer a few questions honestly." ”

Brother Monkey's eyes flashed with joy: "I said that I said, I know everything, and I say everything." ”

"It's knowing everything, saying everything. Stupid, uneducated!" Ri Yunxiu glanced at him disdainfully, took two steps back, and handed it over to Li Bo to deal with.

Li Bo said: "Let me ask you, who are you, and what is your name?"

"The villain's surname is Diao, and his nickname is Monkey, they all call me Brother Monkey, oh, you just keep calling Monkey. ”

"Who are they, you and the one who just escaped, and why are you here?"

"This ......" Diao Monkey hesitated and panicked, and a pair of thieves' eyes were rolling around, obviously weighing things. It wasn't until Ri Yunxiu glared at him, and the knife in his right hand slashed and threatened, that he sighed and said: "The villain is from the flower python river village in the south, in the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters, wars and famines, life is really unbearable, so I joined the Thousand Eyes Alliance." ”

"Thousand Eyes Alliance?" As soon as Li Bo heard this name, an uncomfortable and disgusting picture immediately appeared in his mind.

"Yes, yes, the villains are old and young, in order to support their families, they have to join, in fact, they help to do chores, and they have never done anything harmful. As long as the two of them let go of the villain this time, the villain will definitely get out of the cult, reform his ways, and be a new ......" Diao Monkey said and found that Li Bo and Ri Yunxiu did not know the details of the Thousand Eyes Alliance, so they stopped talking.

Li Bo continued to interrogate: "Have you ever seen a child? Little boy, five or six years old. ”

Ri Yunxiu interjected and asked, "Is this Xiucai Mountain?"

"It's Xiucai Mountain. Diao Monkey shook his head, "But children will definitely not dare to come." Not to mention children, even the old hunters in the town did not dare to come alone in the afternoon and evening. ”

"Why?" Ri Yunxiu asked with interest.

"This place is haunted. ”

"Haunted!" she froze, her eyes wide, and she didn't move for a long time.

"What's wrong, Xiu'er?" Li Bo pulled her.

"No, nothing. Ri Yunxiu grabbed Li Bo's arm tightly.

Li Bo immediately understood that she was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she was afraid of ghosts.

Most girls of this age are like this, but for Ri Yunxiu, there is another deep reason. Her mother was feared as a witch all her life, she died in childbirth when she was born, she was restless when she walked, and there were often strange things in the family when she was a child, and there were many rumors, which left an indelible terrifying impression in her young heart.

Diao Monkey is a personal spirit, worthy of the name, seeing the psychological changes of Ri Yunxiu, he seems to have found a glimmer of life, and said: "We Ben Thunder City is miserable all year round and does not see the light of day, and there are countless ghosts and monsters gathered in the wilderness. People of my age don't have to be afraid, because those ghosts are old ghosts, and they like to eat children's meat, especially those young and beautiful little girls in their teens, the meat on their bodies is tender and fragrant, and they are the favorite. If it does, it's definitely ......"

"Enough! Don't say it!" Li Bo was so uncomfortable by his addition that he hurriedly interrupted, "Brother Monkey, since you are a local, then please lead the way." The little boy we're looking for is named Yuan Gou'er, I don't know if you recognize him?"

Ri Yunxiu whispered: "Brother Tian Shu, do you still want to find it?" It's better to go back first, and wait for the fog to clear." ”

"Of course you have to look for it! Maybe Yuan Gou'er is just greedy for fun and fell somewhere? Let's look for Xiucai Mountain first, and then go to other directions in the town, he will definitely not be able to run far as a child, unless he ......" He wanted to say that unless he was really captured by a ghost, he swallowed back when he saw Ri Yunxiu's nervous appearance, "Let's go, monkey, lead the way." ”

The rain was getting heavier, the wind was blowing again, and the roads were muddy and faint. Li Bo's line of sight could only reach more than ten meters away, for fear that there would be Diao Monkey's comrades ambushing him, so he and Ri Yunxiu moved forward hand in hand and cautiously. Diao Monkey can be eloquent, talking non-stop along the way, telling some anecdotes about Benlei City, which dilutes a lot of the gloomy atmosphere.

Walking out of about three or four miles, Diao Monkey suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the front and said: "There is an octagonal pavilion on the edge of the cliff, which was built when Wang Xiucai was in office, and it was originally able to overlook the mountain scenery, but this ghost weather is ......."

Li Bo said: "Let's go and take shelter from the rain." ”

"Okay, I'll explore the way first. Diao Monkey ran out quickly, his body hidden in the fog.

Li Bo pulled Ri Yunxiu to follow, "Hey, where are the people?"

There is indeed a cliff ahead, but there is no pavilion, the grass and trees are mixed, the clouds cover the fog, and the monkeys are gone!
