Chapter 4: Black Jade

This is a hill on the road between the town and Jinyun City, and the mountain is overgrown with bushes and weeds. From time to time, some wild boars are skewered in the mountains. On one side of the hill, there are several grottoes that have been naturally formed by the erosion of karst caves, and these grottoes are connected to form a natural grotto. Let's see that there are two janitors standing at the entrance of the stone cave. Yes, it's a thief's den. This is the residence of the "King of the Mountain" who specializes in robbing homes and houses. The strange thing is that the two gatekeepers, who are usually dozing off, actually stood with a look of seriousness and meticulousness as if waiting for a military parade. It turned out that it was the "fairy" brother of the big boss who came back, and the two tried their best to show their "professionalism", maybe they were accidentally taken by the immortals.

At this time, the two people in the cave were discussing something important, one looked like a mountain with thick eyebrows and big eyes, this should be the big boss. The other is dressed in a white robe, holding a folding fan, and has a slightly arrogant look in his eyes, this is the so-called "fairy" brother.

"You say, we have the lost treasures of the Qingyun Sect on this road?" the big boss asked with a happy face.

"That's right, I also paid a lot of money to get this news. There are disciples of the outer sect of the sect who took advantage of the elder's absence to steal the blood soul jade! After being discovered, on the way to escape here, because of the collision with the disciples of the Black Flower Sect, the two fought and the blood soul jade fell, but because the outer disciple was seriously injured, he was chased and killed by the disciples of the Black Flower Sect before he had time to pick it up. Although the disciple was finally arrested and returned to the sect, this Blood Soul Jade was very important and did not make a noise. So I'm going to go out one step ahead of the sect to find this treasure! As long as I get the treasure jade, my cultivation will be faster every day. In this year's Outer Disciple Competition, I am confident that I will win the first place and enter the ranks of Inner Disciples!"

When the man in the white shirt spoke, his eyebrows were slow and sparse, and his tone was arrogant. He understood that only by seizing this opportunity could he "soar to the top" by cultivating the fourth level of qi!

"Well, that's the case, the eldest brother immediately sent someone to search this section of the road thoroughly! I will definitely find this treasure for the younger brother!" The big boss lowered his head, and his tone was resolute and resolute, and there was a hint of flattery.

After the fishing boat came back yesterday, sure enough, Wang Lizhu told Xingtian to follow him to Jinyun City tomorrow to see Chang.

The next day, Xingtian, Wang Lizhu and other fishermen, a total of eighteen people, set foot on the road to Jinyun City early in the morning, and the town gradually disappeared behind them. This road leads directly to Jinyun City, which is the only way for merchants in the town to pass through in the past. However, I heard that there are thieves here who specialize in robbing passing merchants, so this frontier road is not peaceful. Fortunately, all of the eighteen people are in the prime of life except for Xingtian, and Wang Lizhu is the leader of the team. It takes about two days from the town to Jinyun City, and the convoy of people sleeping in the open all the way slowly walked towards Jinyun City.

Xing Tian, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the carriage, was walking around looking at the scenery on the side of the road, while learning how to drive the carriage from a strong man. For him, who had only seen horses on TV in his previous life, learning to ride a horse now is something he yearns for and loves. Several carriages were loaded with the fruits of their labor in the past few days, that is, to go to Jinyun City to sell these things and purchase some daily necessities. The convoy walked unhurriedly, and some of them sang the town's unique mountain songs. Everything seemed so comfortable and free. Suddenly, there was a voice in the convoy:

"What! Do you want to go down again?" the strong man turned his face and looked at Xingtian with an innocent face on his face in disbelief, and said helplessly:

"Say, how many times have you been there today? I've been with you at least four times!"

"Ahem" Xingtian, whose face was a little red, said embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't have any convenience to come out when you went down with me, I... I'm not used to having someone by my side when it's convenient for me..."

"Hahaha, so that's the case!" The middle-aged man had a loud voice, and the rest of the team heard it clearly, and they all laughed, and some even joked: "It turns out that our little brother Xingtian is still a virgin who has not Kaibao, haha." The more Xing Tian felt that his face was hot, he hurriedly ran to the forest next to him, and when he saw this, there was another burst of laughter in the convoy, and even the air felt filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Xing Tian walked to the depths of the forest and looked around, intending to settle the matter on the spot, but just as he lowered his head and untied his clothes, he suddenly found that the grass on the ground and nearby was sprinkled with blood! But when he slowly calmed down, he found that the traces of blood were not very new. He had never seen a dead person in his previous life, and he was terrified at the moment, and he wanted to shout loudly to the people of the convoy, but when he suddenly found a stone with a dark red light hidden in the bloodstains of the grass! I closed my eyes and touched the ground with my hand, and immediately turned around and walked back. Yes, Xingtian didn't dare to touch these bloodstains.

Time went back to the time when Xingtian had just gotten off the carriage, and when the people in the convoy were still laughing, no one noticed the row of masked thieves hiding in the woods at the other end! Standing in the first column was the big boss, and with a slightly gloomy face, he asked the men next to him:

"Are you sure there's only this area left to find?"

A small leader next to him was sweating, I don't know if it was because he was tired or nervous. Since yesterday, the big bosses have ordered them to search for every inch of land on this stretch of road. He knew that he must not make any mistakes in his answer until now, and replied to the big boss solemnly:

"Yes, Boss, this is the only area left, and only this carriage has passed by in the past two days. It's strange that they have stopped here for so long, will they ・・・・・?" He knew that he could find the piece of jade or not, but the big boss who knew best that he was killing people without blinking his eyes must have looked full of anger at this time, and immediately hurried to blame Jiangdong. Hmph, it's strange that you came here at this time, and squinted at the convoy.

"Hmph! Dare to spoil my brother's big thing, I'll clean it up later, and don't leave any of them!

Next to the big boss stood the "fairy" brother, at this time he was also extremely anxious in his heart, he knew that someone from the master would come soon, maybe he had already set off on the way. is worthy of being a brother of the big boss, at this time, he looked at the convoy that had ruined his precious time, and his eyes were full of murderous intent!

However, the convoy that was still waiting for the return of the team was unconscious, and the danger quietly surrounded them...
