A black earth avenue stretches into the distance, and the end is dark.

After a while, a squad of Dao soldiers stepped on the black soil, they were dressed in light armor, fused thorns and Dao talismans, and wore shields, knives, and crossbows, which were self-contained.

The Taoist soldiers of Kuchaling were not in the government, so they naturally left the ridge.

Li He took them to Lingcaoling to meet Ling Qiong and the others.

Since the last time the people were transported, the guards of the Grass Ridge have returned, but there has been no news.

Because of the invasion of Li Town, the spread of paper people, the post road was temporarily blocked for a period of time, but now each family has sent guards to open up the joints, and it has been able to pass, and there is still no news of Grass Ridge, I am afraid that there is an accident.

Li He first sent people to open the passage of the kiln village and reconstruct the collection of ancient iron, so that the merchants could also move freely. Then he arrived at Grass Ridge with the Dao soldiers to explore the problem and help Ling Qiong.

He had confessed before that if he couldn't do anything, he would seek refuge in Kuchaling in advance.

In fact, the reputation of Kuchaling has reached its highest level after the blockade of the Strange Temple. Li Li and the others first ate a nail, and then returned from defeat in the Wei Temple, asking Kuchaling to take them in, and after reconnecting the post road, they were almost known to various forces.

There is even some gossip that adds fuel and vinegar, saying that Kuchaling is the mastermind behind this time, and its mansion master is unfathomable and has the strength of seven products.

Others said that Miss Li recommended a pillow and greeted her every night, making the lord of the house comfortable before she got a position as a trade envoy.

Although it sounds untrue to those who know the inside story. But from another point of view, Kuchaling's strength is already so strong that it cannot be underestimated.

Someone once saw Zhao Tian fall on Kucha Post Road on the day of the crisis in Lizhen, his whole body was torn, bleeding and water, and he was no longer human.

Combined with the head of the Jiuling meeting that day, Zhao Tian never went back after being humiliated, and the other ridges naturally informed the inside story of Thorn Ridge in "kindness".

But the result? Even if the eldest prince of the Li family and Zhao She were stationed in Thorn Ridge, did they say anything? I don't want to touch the moldy head of bitter tea at all.

Not to mention that it is a small Zhao Tian, even if the sister-in-law of the Zhao family died in bitter tea, it is also to blame. Of the three descendants of the Li family, the third prince had the most potential, but he died in front of the coffin of the Heavenly Master for no apparent reason. The second lady commanded the caravan, but due to the lack of the most essential strength, she could not suppress the rebellion of the two Shi Wang families, but fortunately escaped death.

Can it be said that Li Li's strength was not strong at the beginning? The heads of the Wang and Shi families are both masters of the eight grades, and they can only be unwilling to retreat in Kucha, so they can know the essence of Kuchaling. What's more, Li Li is a good person, as a leader among businessmen, she doesn't do loss-making transactions.

I would rather return to the bitter tea, keep my voice down, and endure criticism to be sheltered by it. There is only one reason, that is, she thinks that Kuchaling is the most powerful ridge at present.

Although the eldest son of the Li family was a little reckless, he was very familiar with his sister, so Thorn Ridge has not said anything so far, as if Zhao Tian disappeared by default, and everyone tacitly did not mention it.

Even Thorn Ridge has such an attitude, and other ridges naturally dare not say anything, so you can know the prestige status of Kuchaling now.

It stands to reason that even if Lingcaoling is closed, it should hear this news, not to mention that with Li He's promise, Ling Qiong is not the kind of person who twists. But there has been no news so far, so it can only be said that they may be in a bit of trouble.

As they stopped, a scout returned in the distance, dressed in white and riding a horse. But in front of him, the white clothes gradually decayed, and the horse became shorter and shorter, turning into a strange paper horse.

The scout jumped off his horse and hurriedly took off his paper clothes, which were also covered with a golden tunnel robe, which was used to block the breath of bad omen.

"Lord Bao, the place where the Grass Ridge is located is shrouded in fog, and you can't see anything clearly. And the mountains in the distance are also silent in it, as if they are completely wrapped in weirdness.

The small one tried to go deeper, but the paper body on his body reacted strongly, and the road behind him was gradually submerged, and he didn't dare to explore it again.

But vaguely, I saw a strange field, which was very barren, and some scarecrows were looking into the distance. ”

Li He glanced at the scout's paper armor and understood that he was telling the truth.

The Bad Omen Dao Method is strange and uncontrollable, and even with his suppression, ordinary people can't bless it for a long time. Scouts are already considered to be more adaptable. In the past, there was also a chance to learn the breathing method and control the auspicious Rui to enter the Taoist, but he still couldn't bear it.

At this moment, looking at his eyes, there was a trace of blood red, and his expression was slightly trance-like, presumably the scarecrow and the fog were eroded.

"You go down and recuperate first!"

"Order!"

Li He's eyes couldn't help but turn into the distance, it was obviously daytime, but the end of the road was as dark as ink. According to the scout, further on, there is a fog.

Ling Qiong mentioned earlier that there was an unusual village and town around Lingcaoling, I was afraid that it was different, and he was going to go back and investigate.

There should not be much abnormality at the beginning, after all, the first batch of Grass Ridge guards arrived safely, indicating that the situation is not too critical.

When do things start to go wrong? The temple appeared, blocking the passage.

I heard Li Li and others mention that the temple is also hidden in the shadows, and it will not appear if it is not for some boundaries.

"Bring me the map!"

A Taoist soldier beside him hurriedly handed over the map of Li Zhen.

Li He flipped through the drawings and took a closer look at the terrain of Li Town.

Backed by snow-capped mountains, in a state of semi-encirclement, there are only two roads that can be left, and the rest are dangerous and unknown places. One is to cross the peak of the snow valley and go to the mountain dome on the side, and the other is the road to Yongcheng that is quite smooth.

Grass Ridge is not far from Yongcheng Road, although it is not as good as Thorn Ridge, but it is also within an acceptable range, and it can be reached in one day.

In this way, if there is any change in the temple, its ridge is easily affected.

One more thing, although everyone now knows that the road to Yongcheng is blocked, the temple is terrifying, and it is suspected that there are bad omens.

But is the source really on that post road?

Li He felt that it was not necessary, the road leading to Yongcheng did not need to take the post road, it was quite wide, and it was not impossible to walk on the country road. But in fact, the coverage of the bad omen is extremely wide, and all pedestrians who leave the town will be pulled into the boundary of the mysterious temple, which is like an expanded version of the limit of the domain.

With Li He's own strength, the ominous breath enveloping the village is already the limit. Like the original kiln village, it was also with the help of the national decree and the control of people's hearts that it spread to such a scale. The usual nine-grade bad omen, just like the paper girl at the beginning, it is already good to be able to have dozens of square meters.

What a powerful omen that can shroud the corridor for more than ten miles?

Maybe the seven pins can't detect this line, so they have to try their best to go up.

However, Li He felt that the weirdness in this was not so simple, relying on the horror of the bad omen alone, it was unconsciously scattered, and it would not be deliberately targeted.

Now that the road is closed, it is obvious that he does not want the people of Li Town to go out, nor do he want outsiders to come in. It's not a bad omen, it's more like a consequence of being manipulated.

The problem of the temple is very deep, and Li He feels that he can avoid it now, but not doing a head-on confrontation does not mean that he will not be tempted.

The loss of Grass Ridge may be the deepening of the erosion of the temple, and in this marginal place, there are people who must be rescued, and he is ready to take this opportunity to obtain some information.

"Let's go, let's go into the mountains!"

A group of people walked forward, and their figures faded into the darkness.
