Mu Zisan, the owner of Dongting Village, said "cough" twice, and Mu Mangzi swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Du Qunfang understood what Mu Zisan meant, and said: "I haven't eaten hot food for many days, since there is cooked rice, go to their meals first, and eat them to their heart's content!"

When he said this, the person who had just quenched his thirst felt that he was already hungry.

The leader caterpillar also understood: "I thought the food was half-cooked, and Mu Mangzi was not allowed to pick it up." Okay!" ordered the four tiger ben to keep watch and take turns to eat.

Mu Zisan led everyone to the fire room, and sure enough, he saw that there were cooked rice and vegetables on the firewood stove - obviously, the person who was preparing to open the meal heard that the assassin had been arrested, and ran to hide.

Mu Zisan said: "Please do it yourself!"

Seven and eight gangs, will be served, happy that there is still the meat of a horse that was injured yesterday, no need to be polite, some sit, some stand, eat will get up.

Mu Zisan said: "You eat slowly, beware of belly pain." Moreover, it is estimated that the person they were waiting for arrived, and it was already night. What's the fluster?"

Mu Mangzi grabbed a piece of horse rib in his hand, looked up and said, "What about the others in the village?"

They were taken into the woods by the samurai, fearing that they would be taken hostage by the Assassins. Let me go, I have no old bones, what else to fear! If you don't speak, I forgot, come here, I have something to ask. ”

Mu Zisan is justifying himself, his real purpose is that Mu Zhang's accident happened, and none of the other hunters who went with him did not come back, he already felt that the danger of Dongting Village had arrived, and he always took advantage of the favorable conditions of "Dongting Village is my home, and all those who come are guests", secretly inquired about the news, and tried to make a plan in advance.

Mu Mangzi grabbed another piece of horse meat and got up to come over while eating.

Mu Zi Sanyi dragged Mu Mangzi and dragged him away to a wooden house more than ten steps away.

In the past, there were all kinds of cooking utensils and cutlery in this room, which were prepared for guests for a long time, but now it is empty, and it is estimated that the damaged wooden walls are being repaired.

Mu Mangzi didn't look at it and knew that the left and right sides of the Dongtingzhuang building were a passage and a drainage ditch, as well as a wide margin. The beginning of the passage, drainage ditch and margin (in the direction of the main entrance) is a wall made of some long stone strips that can only be lifted by several people, connecting the front building of Dongtingzhuang with the steep and solid mountains on both sides, so that the whole Dongtingzhuang has only one entrance to the main gate.

Mu Zisan said: "Why do you want to assassinate Ba Ping'an, I don't bother to ask." I ask you, what about the people you brought out?"

Mu Zisan had fully woken up at this time, and in his mind, he guessed that maybe Gongzi Menglong was going to assassinate Ba Ping'an, otherwise who else could make Huben of Hu'an Palace an assassin?

"We're not assassins!" replied Mu Mangzi as he chewed on the horse's meat.

"Hold a lamp grass, to put it lightly! Not an assassin, you would be so embarrassed! Still hiding it from me! I didn't want to ask about this. I want to ask you, where are the people you brought with you, and how many have died?"

"Has Brother Mu Zhang, come back?" Mu Mangzi asked without answering.

"You took the person away, but you came to ask me!" Mu Zi said angrily.

At this time, Mu Mangzi knew that Mu Zhangzi had been arrested, and he had returned to Dongting Village, and due to his serious injuries, he was sent to Lin Yunguan Du Qinglian for treatment, and let go of a heart that had been hanging in the past few days.

Mu Zisan finished briefly and said: "Mu Zhang, you don't say a word, you don't want to pretend to be dumb! You haven't said yet, where are the others now?"

"It's in the woods nearby. ”

"I guessed it a long time ago!Look at you, do a good thing!" Mu Zisan gritted his teeth, bitter and hateful, and reached out to give Mu Mangzi a big mouth.

"They are dying of thirst. ”

"Are you going to die after you fart, as long as you're not dead, I have my own way. Mu Zisan turned his anger into joy and put down his raised right hand.

Mu Mangzi hurried to eat his food.

Mu Zisan said again: "Who is the woman on the same road with you? ”

At this moment, Tiger Caterpillar, Du Qunfang, and Lan Hui, who had swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, came to Mu Zisan and Mu Mangzi to discuss countermeasures.

Mu Mangzi just took this opportunity and did not answer the question raised by Mu Zisan.

Du Qunfang said: "Mu Mangzi, tell me quickly, what is the way to go? Is there a secret passage leading to the outside?"

"To a place more dangerous than Dream Valley!" Mu Mangzi said.

As soon as these words came out, Caterpillar, Du Qunfang, and Lan Hui were all stunned, and their faces were more desperate than facing death.

In their hearts, there are only two places in the entire Hu'an Mountain tribe that are more dangerous than Dream Valley, and one of them is at their feet, and the fool can understand it.

Du Qunfang believed that Mu Zisan was definitely ten times smarter than Mu Mangzi, and he knew the internal structure and corners of Dongting Village better, and the escape route he thought of was definitely different from Mu Mangzi, and said in a pleading tone: "Zhuang Master, you still say." ”

Lan Hui and the caterpillar also looked at it, and suddenly felt that Mu Zisan, who looked like a life-saving benefactor.

Mu Zisan said slowly: "Don't look at me. I'm talking about Longshui Gorge!"

The three of them were speechless for a moment, as if they were stupid.

Outside Dongting Village, under the cliff, is the Dragon Gorge that makes the people of Danfu Water talk about the tiger's color, also known as the Dragon Water Gorge.

At that time, the most riotous chief of the Hu'an Mountain tribe in the past dynasties, Wuzi ranked it as the second of the "five dangerous places", only after the Tiankeng, and before the Dream Valley.

In the legend of the locals for generations, Longshui Gorge is a passage for dragons to enter and exit, and it is also said that like the sinkhole, it is full of demons and monsters.

There is a local saying: "Longshui Gorge, long clip, ten people go in and nine slag." ”

Mu Zisan saw that the three of them were stunned, and said, "Let's listen to me first, and then you will make a decision."

"In the cave behind my Zhuangzi, there is a road that can go down to Longshui Gorge.

"Back then, the ancestor of the Hu'an Mountain clan, Wuzi, did not believe in evil, and sent people down Longshui Gorge to take that road. As a result, twenty people went down, and only one person came back, and he went crazy.

"Wu Wuzi finally believed that Longshui Gorge was a dangerous place that could never be reached, so he summoned the shamans, large and small, and cast the most powerful and vicious Gu spell on that road, and deployed a large number of ghost soldiers to prevent the demons below from rushing up.

Therefore, that road is called Gu Road, also known as Ghost Road, which is to brag about empty cows, and people want to tremble when they talk about it. Hugh said that outsiders, it is my Dongting Village, and I know that the road is actually the legendary Gu Road, and there are only a few people who are older than me. Hehe, those older than me are all gone. ”

Mu Mangzi thought to himself, didn't your old story scare these three people even more, and wanted to interrupt, but felt inappropriate, so I had to listen to Mu Zisan continue to haunt (note: refers to nonsense):

"Although I heard my grandfather say once that it was the road to Xialongshui Gorge, I never dared to look at it.

"A few years ago, two people popped out of the hole. At that time, I was paddling firewood at the entrance of the cave, and I was shocked when I saw it, thinking that it was a ghost who had gone down from the time of Wuzi, and I was so frightened that I couldn't wake up on the spot.

"I woke up after a while, and they said to me: Don't be afraid, they are human beings, who strayed into the Longshui Gorge and found this way out for many days. I asked them: What's down there?

"Their faces changed, and they threatened: 'You just have to remember: if you tell anyone what you see us, Dongtingzhuang, you will disappear from Hu'an Mountain!'

"That is so vicious, if it weren't for today's urgency, how would I dare to say it to people.

"Many years ago, my ancestors sealed the crossing of Xialongshui Gorge with a peach wood five-element gate, added a fake wooden wall outside, and then covered it with firewood and grass. Hehe, that door is demon-proof, and it is also a reminder that the people of Dongtingzhuang are not allowed to go out through that door.

"I wonder if they can come back from there, you may not be able to come back. Therefore, I thought that it was better to go down to Longshui Gorge first, avoid this catastrophe, and then come out. ”

After listening to this story, Du Qunfang looked at the caterpillar, the caterpillar looked at Lan Hui, and did not comment, while Mu Mangzi was thoughtful.

Lan Hui snorted lightly: "Mu Mangzi, what are you thinking? Let me ask you, why do you also think of Xialongshui Gorge at the same time?"

"That's a good question, I want to ask about it too!"

Hearing Lan's reply, Mu Zisan suddenly thought that the place where Mu Mangzi who was sick was found at that time was the cave in Xialongshui Gorge. I didn't think much of it at the time, could it be......

Mu Mangzi's answer interrupted Mu Zisan's thinking: "Everyone says that Dream Valley is a dangerous place, what is the result? I think, perhaps, Longshui Gorge is not as terrifying as people say, and when I was anxious, I thought of Xialongshui Gorge. ”

Lan Hui and Du Qunfang both nodded, thinking that Mu Mangzi's foolish words had some truth;

Only Mu Zisan heard the sound of the strings from Mu Mangzi's words, but he didn't fully understand Mu Mangzi's words.

At this time, a tiger ben came to report that he was full of food and waited for orders.

The caterpillar was still hesitating, and Mu Zisan hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the little masters Du Qunfang and Mu Mangzi being involved, why should the old man have a lot of trouble!"

"If you are still not at ease, I have a compromise method: Longshui Gorge is a dangerous place that everyone hears about and is frightened, and if you go in, the pursuers will not dare to chase again. I will prepare food, water, etc. for you, and you will find a place to hide halfway down to Longshui Gorge.

"If you see a green pine feather floating down from the top of the cliff, you can come up, but if it is a dry pine feather, it means that the pursuers are still there. This is called putting oneself to death and then being born -- Mu Mangzi! You don't know where you heard this phrase. ”

Mu Mangzi laughed again.

The caterpillar thought to himself, now that there is no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground, Mu Zisan's side is indeed a way to solve the urgent need.

When the interruption continued, but suffered from it, the caterpillar finally said: "There is no way to live, but to take risks! Whether it is life or death, you can only obey orders!"

"However, there is still a big problem. ”

Seeing that it had to be settled, Mu Zisan, the owner of Dongting Village, raised a new question.
