Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hard Labor Everywhere
Li He didn't know what was going on in his own land, and he was only concentrating on the affairs of the kiln village at present.
Kuchaling is guarded by Liu Ruhua, without his constraints, those who dare to have ideas about the ridge will not end well. However, in this chaotic time, it is necessary to use heavy rituals to deter Xiaoxiao.
After a few days of marching, the brigade has entered the area of Kiln Village.
In fact, a ridge land is not only a village where the people gather, but also a valuable land under its jurisdiction.
That's right, it's valuable. Regardless of farming, post roads, or mines, only those that can be used can be regarded as ridge land.
Why is a fiefdom like Kuchaling called a wasteland a wasteland, that is, there are many hidden dangers around, and even ghosts and foxes and bad omen are rampant in the mountains, and ordinary people cannot survive at all.
The post road between many ridges is to explore a relatively safe section of the road, even if it is a genuine guard, etc., are willing to walk on this road.
If you talk about country roads and the like, the distance may be shortened, but it may mean that there are any bad omens and strange existences, and the gains outweigh the losses.
As for the post road, if there is a problem and it is occupied by bad omen, it basically means that there is a great crisis here, and the town can no longer communicate with the outside world, so it can only wait for death.
Rye Ridge called on all the mountain lords to gather and jointly crusade against the kiln village, and it was the strangeness of the kiln village that spread everywhere, although it seemed that the nearest places such as Rye Ridge and Kucha Ridge were attacked. In fact, some merchants have already suffered strange things on the post road, which has also made other ridges wary.
If you don't gather everyone's strength to solve the source of the bad omen at this time, it will spread when the time comes, and it will be impossible to survive like some small mountains.
As for the kiln village, the mountains are bare, and even the sky has become dark, and it is clear that the eyes were bright before, but there is a gloomy feeling at this time.
"It's a bad omen, be careful!"
Mo Rushi reminded everyone, and suddenly all the mountain lords became vigilant.
Several families gathered in the mountains, with a total of more than 300 people, all wearing armor and holding Dao talismans, which was equivalent to a powerful Dao army.
When they reached the post road, they began to walk slowly in groups of ten.
The person who played the role of the pioneer officer was Ling Qiong of Grass Ridge, wearing a robe, and the whole team was in a dark environment, if you didn't see it with the naked eye, you wouldn't be able to detect their breath at all.
Even if the Taoist priest ran the breathing method, he could only vaguely feel a continuous black shadow, and there was no way to specifically investigate its information.
This had a lot to do with its leader, Ling Qiong, who stood in front of the formation, with a peculiar rope woven of grass tied around his wrist, emitting a faint glow.
After that, each guard was tied with a thin rope, as if echoing Ling Qiong's end to end, forming a secret formation, slowly advancing forward.
The kiln village is very calm today, and after walking for a long time, I haven't even seen the name of the village. The guards I saw in the scroll before are gone.
The whole village was extremely silent, not even insects and birds chirping, and it was deserted.
"It's different from the last time, it seems that the guys in the kiln village know that we're coming!"
Li He's expression also became serious, reminding everyone.
In the mines all over the ground, the guards also went down to the mine to look for people, but they couldn't find the slightest trace, and even a few good hands went down with talismans, and they didn't return for a long time, so Mo Rushi forbade them to search.
Li He basically told the information about the stitching monster, and he felt that it was not easy to deal with, and if he was not careful, he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out.
Compared to these gloomy and strange bad signs, even if the living people have some disputes, they are still the realm of living beings. And they are not the same, they are going to bring everything to destruction.
Therefore, Li He can put aside his grievances for the time being, sweep away the kiln village, and then take care of other things.
The road spreads, and a group of people soon comes to the end, which is the village of Yao Village.
There was still no one to be seen, but at the front of the road, there was an altar standing in place, with a four-colored flame lit on it, and a huge basin in the center, but it was empty, and there was nothing.
Several Ridge Lords couldn't help but look at Li He, this didn't seem to be the same as what they said before.
Said that the stitching monster must be careful, but it seems that it is not here, could it be that he knew that the lords of the mountains came to beg for it, and secretly absconded?
Mo Rushi is a very knowledgeable person, and the layout of this place is almost the same as what Li He said, indicating that he has even been here alone before.
He has seen the methods of the kiln village, it is very strange, Li He dared to create the tiger's den and retreat with his whole body, Kuchaling is indeed unusual.
Now that the stitched corpse is gone, it is not that Li He is wrong, but that the danger is imminent.
Ling Qiong suddenly shouted.
"No, the yin qi seems to be spreading here!"
After speaking, he walked forward, threw a Dao talisman in his hand, and threw it on the altar, causing a roar.
The seemingly magnificent altar collapsed in response, the smoke and dust were filled, and the wood was toppled down, but only the four-colored flames burned endlessly.
"This is not the real altar!"
Li He looked at everything that had collapsed in front of him, operated the path of Rui Xi, closed his eyes, and found that there was nothing empty in front of him, and there was no source of bad omens for gathering.
Including the four flames that appeared, they were not around at all, and seemed to be burning in the four corners of the extreme distance.
Mo Rushi's body was covered with rye, his hands were wrinkled, and his breath became deeper, and he said hoarsely.
"The density of the soil has become smaller, and we seem to have stepped into a trap!"
The lord of the mansion, who is anxious, has begun to wonder.
"What's going on, at the beginning, we investigated carefully, and there was obviously no problem!"
Mo Rushi suddenly scolded harshly.
"Noise! Be calm, it's not a big deal, don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger, just look at what happened in the kiln village! ”
is worthy of being the mansion lord of the strongest ridge in the surrounding area, Mo Rushi showed his domineering side at this moment, and the mansion lord who was scolded suddenly did not dare to say much.
Li He subconsciously wandered around, he had already determined that everyone had fallen into the domain of Kiln Village, but he didn't expect the scope of this bad omen to be so large, and even so confusing.
Before stepping into the Kiln Village, it wasn't just Ling Qiong who was scouting, he was also investigating in advance, but he didn't notice any signs of something wrong. It is also possible that the surrounding strange breath obscures the deep domain, so the truth cannot be discovered.
Either way, things are not going to be good.
"Follow me, don't act rashly!"
He gave instructions to the guards of Kuchaling, originally thinking of seeing the opportunity to act and attacking from a distance, but he didn't expect to be caught up in this ghost domain as soon as he came in. According to the previous situation in the kiln village, ordinary talents are the most dangerous.
As for the guards of Thorn Ridge, they followed behind, and it was up to each of them to listen to it.
"There's movement around!"
Ling Qiong was the first to find out and reminded everyone.
Some of the dilapidated thatched huts had collapsed, and the houses were full of holes, no different from the previous mines.
Four flames burned violently, and people slowly came out of the cave, and their faces could not be seen clearly, as if they were blocked by a firelight, and their clothes were divided into four colors, black, red, blue, and crawled out like walking corpses.
Scattered all over the mountains, several withered flesh poked out of each room and gathered towards them.
"I'm so tired!"
"Stop fighting! Stop it! ”
"I'm going to kill you!"
The sound of resentment swept in, muddy, coming from all directions, like waves.
