More than a dozen fire sticks were connected in a line and slowly walked forward in the deep mountain forest, crooked like a winding glowing snake, climbing in the darkness of the secluded forest.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the majestic mountain range, Cai Zhutou, who was leading the way in front, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's here, that's it." ”

Following the direction of his finger, the narrow mountain road that twisted and difficult to walk under the feet of the people finally came to an end, and what appeared in front of them was a valley of no small size, where more than a dozen huts of similar size were scattered among them.

Yang Village, so small that almost no one can notice it, is displayed in front of everyone at a glance. But it is such an inconspicuous small village that makes the three lamplighters disappear here, silently.

Everyone looked at the less than twenty houses in front of them, which could not be considered very simple but could not be talked about at all, with different thoughts, Dao Liang frowned and pondered, Gan Meng was expressionless, Daozheng Wang Shen didn't care too much, and Cai Zhutou and the other officials of the judge showed nervousness.

If you go through the valley in front of you, you will reach the forbidden area, which starts from the foot of the huge and ancient mountain range in the distance, and encompasses all the peaks there.

It can be said that the entire Qinling Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, have almost become a recognized mountain forbidden area of the Northern and Southern Dynasties while serving as the natural border between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Very few people have entered such mountains and dense forests, and even those immortal officials who have mastered in the eyes of the world have respected the mountains.

Cai Zhutou and the others couldn't see the abnormality of this Yang Village, in his opinion, the three immortal officials who came out of Qingcheng Mountain together would never be harmed by these ordinary villagers, he was a head catcher but he was very aware of the skills of these immortal officials around him, those who came down from Qingcheng Mountain, even if they were just a teenage hairy doll, could easily take down all the more than a dozen villagers.

So he boldly guessed: "Although this village is remote, it has existed for more than a hundred years, and the ancestors of the people have been recorded for generations, and we initially guessed that the three immortal officials were likely to go deep into the mountain forbidden area to ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dao Liang waving his hand, only to see Dao Liangzai carefully take a look at the situation in the village, and then asked, "Cai Zhutou, what sound do you hear?"

In terms of ear power, Cai Zhutou is also much better than ordinary people, he listened intently for a moment, shook his head and said, "Nothing......"

Dao Liang sneered: "Cai Zhutou, don't you think it's strange, isn't this place too quiet? Not to mention whether these dozen or so families raise chickens and dogs, but even some normal autumn insect calls are almost extinct in this place, I'm afraid this is not a normal phenomenon." ”

Cai Zhutou was shocked when he heard this, looking at Dao Liang's increasingly gloomy face and the corners of Ganmeng's grinning mouth, a chill rushed into his back from his feet, making him can't help but shiver.

All of his subordinates looked at each other at this time, and the palms of the fire staff couldn't help but tighten a little.

Wang Shen also discovered this problem just now, but this place is still a little far from Nayang Village, so he can't use his mental power to probe the situation in the house.

Dao Zheng suddenly volunteered at this time: "I'll take a look." ”

Dao Liang stopped him, shook his head and said, "Little junior brother, you will have a chance to perform when the time comes." It's just that this village is weird, so let's not rush to startle the snakes. Looking at the sky, we simply waited until dawn to see, if there is really any evil work, the day will be more beneficial to us. ”

Although Dao Liang speaks harshly, he is extremely cautious and cautious in doing things, no wonder CD Dao Zhiyin Si sent these two people, presumably he is also more assured of the ability of the two.

Dao Zheng glanced at Wang Shen, and saw that he nodded lightly and did not speak again. And when Cai Zhu's first few people heard that they were going to wait until daytime to act, their hearts were relieved.

It's a good day, those harmful ghosts and evil spirits during the day should not dare to come out, it's so scary at night.

Everyone extinguished the torches one after another, and Cai Zhutou was divided into three groups of people, who took turns to be on duty, and the rest rested separately. These errand soldiers are no better than the Taoist priests of Qingyang Palace, and they are always a little tired when walking on such a rugged and difficult mountain road overnight.

Dao Liang, Dao Zheng and Gan Meng meditated and rested on the spot, and Taoist priests like them who had been cultivating for many years could sit and sleep, and at the same time be vigilant, which benefited from the unique Taoist method of breathing and breathing, and all sects were almost the same. And Wang Shen was also a little tired from walking, so he directly found a tree to sleep by, looking at his appearance, Dao Liang, who had been secretly observing him, couldn't help but look at him twice.

At dawn, a rooster crow not far away dispelled the thick night, and even the unattainable mountain emerged from the clouds, restoring the original color of the mountain forest under the light of the early sun, adding a bit of vitality, no longer as breathtaking as before.

After the rooster crows, the village rises one after another to smoke cooking, although there are only a dozen households in this Yang Village, but fortunately there are mountains, rivers and farmland in this place, and the place is also open, I think it is also the reason why the people of this Yang Village are reluctant to move out. Soon, after a simple morning meal, more than a dozen villagers were busy inside and out, orderly, not lively, but not deserted at all.

Looking at the neighbors who were talking and laughing with each other, Dao Liang, who had been staring and observing for a long time, frowned again.

"Senior brother, can you see that something is wrong?"

Ganmeng on the side just smiled, but shook his head.

Seeing this, Cai Zhutou asked, "Why don't I send two brothers to take a look again?" If you are afraid of startling the snake, which of the four immortal officials will go for a walk with us?"

He looked around, Dao Liang Dao was wearing the unique crimson yellow Dao robe of Qingyang Palace, and Gan Meng's body was even bigger and a little terrifying, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Shen, who looked relatively ordinary.

Dao Liang also looked at Wang Shen at this time, Wang Shen patted his ass and got up from the ground, nodded and said, "Then I'll go and have a look." ”

"Little junior brother, what do you think?"

Dao Liang's words were obviously asking Wang Shen what his strength was.

To his surprise, Dao Zheng was extremely trusting and even respectful of Wang Shen's ability, and saw that Dao Zheng nodded without hesitation and said, "It is much more useful for him to go than for me to go." ”

For Dao Zheng's temper is cold, but he knows best, although this little junior disciple who is always counted by himself on weekdays is an extremely arrogant person in his bones, as the most valued disciple of Uncle Huazhen, his cultivation talent can also be among the best in the entire Qingyang Palace, and it is the first time he has seen his little junior brother show such a convincing look to outsiders, and his heart is a little more curious about Wang Shen's origin.

"Since that's the case, then I'll accompany Wang Xianguan on a trip, you and I will pretend to be an errand officer from the county who came down to investigate, and I'll be responsible for dealing with them in a while, Wang Xianguan, you can see if there's anything wrong inside." ”

Perhaps seeing the exquisite and luxurious sword box that Wang Shen was carrying behind him gave him some confidence, coupled with Fang Cai's righteous words, Cai Zhutou decided to personally go out and enter the village with Wang Shen.
