Chapter 180: Four Strange Things Crack the Ambush
Early the next morning, the people who woke up noticed several strange things.
The first thing is that there is an extra red halo around the originally gorgeous sunrise, and the golden sunlight is mixed with a faint red halo, which looks particularly weird, and this kind of wonder is the first time everyone has encountered it.
In the camp of Tingchaoju, an elderly servant said that such a vision in the heavens was a sign of slaughter on the earth today. When the people around them heard this, they all laughed and laughed, "In this terrible world now, there will be no killing one day! It's just a relatively rare spectacle, and it doesn't explain anything.
The second strange thing is even more strange, the guards of Juxian Lou are preparing to burn the fire and prepare breakfast in the morning, and are preparing to boil some rice to make porridge, the rice has just been poured into the pot, the water is not yet hot, there are clever eyes, and they find that a fence in the camp is shaking, and when they go outside, they see more than a dozen shivering mountain deer kneeling under this fence. These stag trembled like chaff, and their dark eyes were covered with a cloudy eye mask, this eye mask. The guards were overjoyed, and hurriedly approached and slaughtered the mountain deer one by one with sharp knives, and these mountain deer did not even make a neigh, which made these people who walk in the mountains and forests all year round feel strange, you must know that the mountain deer are the most alert and agile, and it takes a lot of effort to hit one. Today, these mountain deer don't know what evil they are in, and they will take the initiative to send them to the door, and these guards naturally laugh at it.
A dozen mountain deer had to be skinned and deboned, and these guards cut the fine tenderloin into strips and roasted it on the fire, which tasted many times better than the bland rice porridge.
All the servants of Juxian Mansion were lost in Ningyuan Mansion, and now all the work has to be handed over to these guards, they have to be responsible for safety, and they have to do some chores at the same time, they have long held their breath, and let Liu Zhangfu jump to the side and scold angrily, but no one pays attention. They tossed and turned until 9:00 a.m. before they began to pull out the camp.
The third thing was that a flock of birds in the forest hovered over the two caravans, refusing to leave for a long time, and it would have been fine if it had only been like this, but as the birds gathered more and more, the flat-haired beasts began to attack the crowd below, causing quite a commotion. The monks on both sides used their magic powers to shoot down a hundred and ten birds of various colors before they expelled the flock.
The fourth thing is not a strange thing, but a beautiful thing that makes people think about it. The incident happened in the camp of Tingchaoju, and the servants who got up early to work found that in the camp where Ge Jiangyu was in charge, there were six charming women, all of them with soft and beautiful shapes, although their postures were different, but they were all rare in the world. No one can say when these six women came to the Tingchaoju camp. The news soon spread throughout the camp, and people came and peeked at it curiously, and then drooled and refused to leave, and the servants and guards were just greedy for beauty, and they couldn't see any clues, but the two monks of the Jindan period, after seeing the six women, began to frown, and they didn't know what they found.
These strange things happened in a row, delaying the departure of the two caravans, and the caravan, which was supposed to leave at 5:00 o'clock, was delayed for two hours, and if it did not leave at this time, it would not have been able to cross the Falling Bird Stream before this evening. According to most people's thoughts, there are so many strange things today, and the time is missed, and it is not a big deal to continue to delay here for a day, only Liu Zhangshi seems to be more anxious than anyone else, and under his repeated urging and suggestions, the two caravans set off slowly. It's strange to say, Juxian Lou is in a hurry to leave first, you can go first, Ge Jiangyu can completely ignore the advice of Juxian Lou Liu, but Ge Zhangshi is surprisingly good at talking, and he actually ordered the team to listen to Chaoju at the same time.
As we were about to enter the steep mountains, everyone couldn't help but be cautious and cheer up their spirits. Such a wild forest was originally a paradise for monsters and robbers, and these guys hiding in the shadows would never miss any chance of a possible sneak attack.
Zhang Xiaoshan's expression was as usual, driving a horse, looking ahead, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him, behind him, Tu Qianqian also looked calm, and the master and servant were as usual, without revealing anything abnormal.
Liu Zhangshi, who was following the team of Tingchaoju, looked back at Zhang Xiaoshan from time to time, and he always had a feeling in his heart, as if all these strange things he encountered this morning were related to the monk surnamed Jiang, and he couldn't tell what the relationship was, it was just a hazy feeling. But now it's ready to fly, and I have to send it. All the arrangements have been completed, and there is no possibility of turning back.
Walking into the forest road, the temperature around me dropped a little. The two caravans were still in front of the tide, and Juxianlou was behind, and the guards with a vigilant face galloped on the road, ready to guard against possible dangers in the forest.
It may have rained in recent days, and there are still some muddy depressions on the ground, and the carriage is extremely difficult to walk, and from time to time there are vehicles stuck in the mud, if it weren't for the cultivators who used their magical powers to move these carriages out, God knows how much time the caravan would have been delayed.
In this way, the Falling Bird Stream, which could have been reached at 15:00, was not until 19:00 when I vaguely saw two towering peaks appear abruptly in front of the road.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and according to the past, he had already set up camp at this time, and he should not continue to walk, but Liu Zhangshi said various reasons in his mouth, and urged the team to continue to move forward.
The guards of Juxian Tower have long been irritable, this escort mission has already exceeded their bottom line, they think they are iron-blooded and heroic men, they can live a life of guarding with a knife and licking blood, and they can't stand to do some low-level and low-spirited work to serve others, in their hearts, this kind of work is only done by the most beautiful people. If it weren't for Liu Zhangshi's repeated declarations, the reward would have tripled for each guard. The guards almost left en masse. In this way, it seems that the cultivators are more reliable, and none of the several cultivators led by Zhang Xiaoshan expressed their dissatisfaction, but just followed the team forward.
Listening to the people and horses of Chaoju, they are even more confused, the people of this Juxian Building are not afraid of death, and they are allowed to venture into the forest at night. Why Ge Zhangshi, who has always been cautious, would ask for this, this is too contrary to common sense.
There was still a stick of incense before sunset, but the forest was already very dark, and the guards took out torches one after another, barely illuminating the road, but it was not all kinds of strange roars coming from the surrounding woods, but everyone was a little frightened. Ge Zhangshi sat on the horse calmly, as if he was very relaxed, he didn't care about the strange looks of the people around him, how did these people know, there would be a big show to watch in a while.
Last night, he and Zhang Xiaoshan had a secret talk for more than an hour, and Zhang Xiaoshan told the whole plan of Juxian Tower, and he was willing to respond from the side to crack the plan of Juxian Tower.
To do these things, Zhang Xiaoshan only needs one promise, that is, to listen to the needs of Chaoju to provide Zhang Xiaoshan's master and servant with a new and reliable identity.
Ge Jiangyu is a smart person, so naturally he won't ask Zhang Xiaoshan why he wants a new identity, no matter how he looks at this matter, it is all beneficial to himself. Therefore, without thinking about it, he agreed. The six women beside him were sent by Jiang Gongzi to protect him, and each of them was a cultivator in the foundation building period. The first time I saw these six women, I found something strange, these six people are not 100% human race, although the demon aura on the body is very light, and it does not reveal any demon form, but Ge Zhangshi is wearing a jade pendant with him, and he can feel the existence of the demon clan around him, when these six people are by his side, the jade pendant has been shaking violently, doesn't this explain the problem?
This Jiang Gongzi is really very mysterious, there are so many demon clan subordinates in the foundation building period around him, it seems that this young man's background must be very deep, it is likely to be the young master of a certain sect, and this sect is also related to the demon clan, the biggest possibility in the north is the Five Temples, but this is not right! I have seen this person in Wangxi Mansion, is it some unknown sect in Youzhou? Ge Zhangshi didn't have any clue after thinking about it all night and day, so he simply didn't think about it, anyway, he understood one thing, this Jiang Gongzi was very dangerous, and he must not be provoked.
The caravan on the road was like a long fire dragon floating in the middle of the mountains and forests under the firelight, and it was clearly discernible for more than ten miles.
Zhang Xiaoshan, who was covered in stains and bloodstains, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the long line that was about to approach here, and touched a blue bird squatting on his shoulder, under the light of the moon, he could see that there was a deep wound on his arm, which was caused by the desperate death of a Jindan monk, and the Jindan monk was cut into dozens of pieces by him with electricity.
The ground around him was full of corpses, and the entire Falling Bird Stream was like a floating purgatory, and hundreds of killers who were ambushed here were all slaughtered by Zhang Xiaoshan alone.
He can do this, it took a lot of spirit runes and a lot of pills to do it, and at the most critical moment, in order to protect himself, he also woke up Qingluan, who had been sealed by the predecessors of the Phoenix Dance in the Fire Immortal Mansion, in advance, and did this impossible thing with the help of the Divine Bird.
He imagined that he was still a little scared now, Liu Zhang's truth was hidden too deeply, he only said that there were two sects' manpower and secret guards ambushed here in Luoniaojian.
Zhang Xiaoshan had seen the strength of the secret guards, he thought that all the ambushers here were of such strength, so he asked the big man to come alone, who would have thought that there were seven Jindan stage and more than thirty middle-level monks in the foundation building stage here, plus those hundreds of strong dancers, just as the so-called good tiger couldn't stand the wolves, and he was almost lost here.
If these people suddenly make a difficulty, they will rely on the hands of those people who listen to the tide, and they are really not their opponents, as long as they kill these hired loose cultivators afterwards, and push the responsibility on themselves and others, this matter has nothing to do with Juxian Lou, what a good strategy!
Just now... Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan snorted coldly, and he had to find someone to vent his anger.
