After eating breakfast and asking about the next journey, Hu Xiaofei led the horse and embarked on the journey to Maoshan Ancestral Court again.

Hu Xiaofei felt that he went to Maoshan Luming, just like Tang Sanzang went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, but he didn't go to the first difficulty.

horses, he still can't ride.

After staying in the metropolis for a long time, people yearn for nature, that natural and unmodified beauty.

But I stay in the woods all day long, and at a glance, in addition to flowers and trees, it is flowers and trees, and I am tired of seeing the best scenery.

Only now did he know that the so-called poets wrote scenes that they had stayed in the city for a long time, otherwise they would not have met a little tree, and when they saw a little grass, they would be in a surging mood and inspired.

According to Uncle Four-Eyed, he should be able to get out of this mountain range by tonight.

Finally before evening, Hu Xiaofei walked to the edge of the mountain, looking at the smoke at the foot of the mountain, Hu Xiaofei walked briskly, humming a song, and walked down the mountain.

On the way, he also met an old man who also went down the mountain, and after asking, he was sure that he was not going the wrong way.

Hu Xiaofei swore that next time he traveled far away, he must find someone who knew the way, otherwise he would rather stay at home.

It's really difficult, in this era when there is no navigation, no street signs, and even the junction of provinces and counties, and some don't even have boundary monuments, if you want to go the right way, it is completely based on memory and sense of direction.

Xiashan Village, a village that is not big or small, as the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water.

More than 100 families in the village, hundreds of people rely on this mountain for support.

Therefore, the people in the village are very superstitious and most of them recognize the existence of the mountain gods.

And the mountain temple is also the most gorgeous and conspicuous place in the village.

In the evening, the old and young masters of the village sat in the open space in front of the mountain temple, chatting, drinking, and playing.

Hu Xiaofei walked all the way, attracting frequent sideways glances from the villagers.

In the villages below the mountain, merchants who usually come to collect mountain goods are usually there, and Hu Xiaofei is leading the horses, so he is mistaken by the villagers.

A strong man walked over towards Hu Xiaofei.

"Little brother, are you here to receive the goods? Why did you come so late? ”

Hu Xiaofei was full of mist when asked, and shook his head at the moment.

"And who are?"

"I'm passing by, from the other side of the mountain."

"This road is not easy to walk, it seems that the little brother is capable."

After the strong man finished speaking, he glanced at the long sword on Hu Xiaofei's back.

In these years, people who go out and go over the mountains and forests have guys on their bodies, but they are generally knife-based, and this little brother has a sword on his back, either he is a good person, or he is a master.

The strong man is also a well-informed person, and after a few glances at Hu Xiaofei, he guessed him.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Hu Xiaofei had no choice but to carry out the signboard of Maoshan.

"I don't dare to say that I have the ability, it's just a Maoshan trail."

"It turned out to be a Maoshan road chief, no wonder he dared to go over the mountains and mountains alone, the road chief passed through our village in the evening, so he stayed for one night, and left tomorrow, the nearest village is a little far, if you rush over, I'm afraid it will be midnight."

Hu Xiaofei was a little confused by the sudden change of attitude of the strong man, could it be that the Taoist priest of Maoshan ate like this.

Looking at the enthusiastic and somewhat overly strong man, Hu Xiaofei felt very wrong.

You can't be in a den of thieves, right?

But when I saw the children playing in the open space, and the women chatting, and the uncle who seemed to be almost unable to walk, it didn't look like it.

With doubts, Hu Xiaofei followed the strong man to his house.

Entering the house, the strong man shouted loudly.

"Yingzi, a guest is here, you go and prepare two appetizers."

I saw the door open, and a woman of about thirty came out of it.

"Oh, I'm here to collect mountain goods."

The woman asked at the strong man.

"Don't ask so much, hurry up and prepare the appetizers, don't neglect the guests."

After speaking, he added a sentence in his daughter-in-law's ear.

"This is a Maoshan Dao Chief."

The woman named Yingzi also asked in a low voice.

"It's really fake, don't be the same as last time, spent money in vain, and ran away first."

"That must be true, people who can turn over the Yin and Yang Realm alone, if they don't have the ability, they will die in the mountain long ago."

The Yin and Yang Realm, this is the name of this mountain range in Xiashan Village, which has been used for hundreds of years.

This name is not because of how high the mountain is, nor how dangerous the road here is, on the contrary, this mountain is rich in products, and there are many animals, but there are thunder and lightning all year round, and the old people often say that there are big monsters in this mountain, so the old man will rain thunder.

Warn these youkai not to go out of the mountains to do evil.

Of course, there are always some bold and unbelieving people who go into the depths of the mountains and forests.

But only half of them were able to come out, so slowly, people gave the mountain a mythical name, Yin and Yang Realm.

It means that inside and outside the mountains, there is yin and yang.

Entering the depths of the mountains is like breaking into a ghost gate.

Hu Xiaofei listened to the whispers of the couple and understood.

It turned out that this strong man was asking for him, no wonder after he reported the Taoist priest of Maoshan, this big man had such an enthusiastic attitude.

Knowing the reason, Hu Xiaofei was relieved, subduing demons and eliminating demons was originally the job of a Taoist priest.

"Xiaodao Chief, you sit down first, and I'll go get the good wine."

After speaking, the strong man walked out of the courtyard.

About less than half an hour later, the strong man's daughter-in-law, Yingzi, walked in with a plate of peanuts.

"Xiaodao Chief, you eat first, and my master will come back immediately."

After speaking, he wiped his hands with an apron and gave Hu Xiaofei a bowl of white water.

After a while, the strong man came back with a wine jar in his arms, and brought two old men who were over half a hundred years old.

"Xiaodao Chief, I'm back, I'll introduce you."

The strong man pointed to the well-dressed old man and said.

"This is Master Liu, the most cultured person in our village, and he used to be a talented man."

He pointed to the other one.

"This is the head and patriarch of our village."

Looking at the order of introduction of the strong man, Hu Xiaofei knew that in this village, the status of this Liu Fuzi was higher than that of the village chief.

Sure enough, Liu Fuzi sat down first, and then the village chief sat down.

The strong man poured wine for a few people on the side before sitting down.

"I heard Wang Zhuanghan say, the little Taoist turned over the yin and yang realm alone, it seems that he is very capable, the old man is cheeky here, there is something to ask for, I don't know ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Fuzi suddenly stopped and looked at Hu Xiaofei.

Hu Xiaofei nodded and motioned for Master Liu to continue.

"Here's the thing, half a month ago, Langzhong in the village went to the mountains to collect medicine, but he didn't come back after a day, and the next day, we took people to look for it, only found the medicine basket, but the people didn't find it."

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Fuzi continued.

"Among those who entered the mountain, there was Wang Zhuanghan, at that time, according to them, they saw a monster with a cat's head, and the clothes on his body were the clothes that Lang Zhong used to go up the mountain to collect medicine that day."

When Liu Fuzi arrived, Wang Zhuanghan next to him hurriedly answered.

"We did see it that day, the monster moved quickly, and although it was a human body, it ran on all fours like an animal."

Hu Xiaofei asked when he heard this.

"Then are you hurt, or have you fought the monster?"

"That's a monster, we were all stupid at the time, who would dare to go up."

Wang Zhuanghan is right.

"And then?"

Hu Xiaofei continued to ask.

"After a few days, someone said that it was near the village and found the monster, so we had no choice but to invite the most famous monk in the neighborhood. Unexpectedly, the monk saw the appearance of the monster and ran away first. ”

At this time, Liu Fuzi also said angrily.

"Hey, I spent a lot of money, and the matter hasn't been resolved, and now we don't dare to go into the mountains for this matter."

Hu Xiaofei listened to it and knew the cause and effect of the incident.

He didn't know much about the monster.

But looking at the behavior of that monster, it shouldn't be a very powerful ghost.

Otherwise, it can make people escape three times or twice.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaofei put his mind at ease.

Since the monster is not very powerful, then he can probably deal with it.

"I can help you with this, but I have important things to do, so I can't stay in your village for too long."

When Liu Fuzi heard that Hu Xiaofei could solve it, he immediately said that he would take people into the mountains tomorrow morning to look for monsters, and he would definitely not delay Hu Xiaofei's affairs.
