After walking for two days, there were no other changes on the road. Every night of rest, a handmaid would take out a long tent and serve the nobleman to rest.

In the hazy light of the fire, the graceful figure of the noble man can be vaguely seen, which has attracted a lot of hot eyes. After walking for so many days, the other party didn't even show his face.

Wu Yan naturally knew the appearance of the other party, and when he met in Moss Alley that day, the black cat was very eye-catching.

A tall, bald man, always holding an axe, stood by the carriage, staring at the surroundings, and no one was allowed to approach.

Those strange-looking people didn't care about it, and walked around at will except by the carriage.

Wu Gen looked at these people from a distance, and one of them felt Wu Gen's gaze, turned his head and smiled, a tongue more than a foot long spit out from his mouth, turned around like a demonstration, and then took it back.

"That's a demon, you can turn into a demon beast, or have the blood of a demon beast. There are also one or two aliens, and I don't know what kind of abilities they hide, these people are quite high-powered, and they are the full-time guards of the noble family. Zhang Yuan explained on the side.

"Oh." Wu Yan agreed, licked his lips with his tongue, and was a little worried about what to do if the stranger bit his tongue while eating.

As for the black cat, it never appeared again. Wu Gan's green cat's eyes, I don't know what secret place to hide, are staring at him, ready to burst out at any time.

On the third day, according to the orders of Commander Chen, Zhang Yuan and five others went out to investigate. Along the way, birds and beasts were extinct, and even the common wild fox pika and pika disappeared without a trace.

Climbing up a hill, the five of them looked into the distance, the clothes wrapped around their heads rattling.

Now Zhang Yuan and others have become the laughing stock of this group, their heads are tightly wrapped, only two eyes are exposed, and compared with other people's armor and Jiexuan Senran, they are a little cold, so they have the nickname of the Women's Army.

Wu Gen even wrapped his mounts in colorful and green, impermeable to the wind, and it was an extremely beautiful scenery wherever he went.

Standing on the slope, Wu Gen suddenly noticed a foreign object not far from the slope, so he urged the horse to rush over. Several people gathered in a circle of foreign objects, and they were all silent.

It was the corpse of a human being, still crawling forward, and the white bones were covered with large and small round mushrooms, like blisters from a burn.

The mushroom is round in shape with thin red threads on it, forming a pattern that resembles a horse's head.

Looking at the two huge mushrooms in the eye sockets of the skull, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and the sand pestle almost groaned and said, "Horse ghost head." It's just that it's not mature here, and it's still fine. ”

Then he said: "I heard from the elders that although the horse ghost head can harm people's lives, if it is properly concocted before it is mature, it is also an excellent ecstasy.

Add some herb cream and roast it carefully, it is a good medicine for wounds, which can not only relieve pain, but also stop bleeding. At the beginning, at home, there were often people who specially purchased this thing from business travelers, and one penny was one or two silver. ”

With a plop, Wu Yan jumped off the horse, took out a knife and cut the head of the horse ghost on the bones.

Zhang Yuan and the others were speechless, greedy for money, it can be said that they want money and don't want their lives, and they don't think they should use knives on the heads of dead people.

Sha Pestle said angrily, "This is not good, it is still tender, and it can only be used as medicine if it is not ripe." ”

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to tell Commander Chen that I can't let the brothers fold here in vain." After saying that, he turned around and went back.

When he arrived at the camping place, Zhang Yuan went straight to Commander Chen. There was a quarrel in the ranks, and Zhang Yuan and Commander Chen were arguing fiercely about something. Soon, the movement of the two was heard by the heavy riders behind, and they were both taken to the back for questioning.

After a while, three horsemen ran to Wu Gen and the others, namely Commander Chen, Zhang Yuan and a heavy horseman.

Commander Chen was angry when he saw a few people who looked like refugees, and turned his head to Zhang Yuan and shouted, "A few thieves, they dare to confuse the hearts of the army, say what a horse ghost, and provoke the nobles to be angry.

As a box army, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death, and cower. Since you're saying there's a ghost head up ahead, take your group to check it out. If not, military justice will serve. Today, I will definitely report everything to the school captain's office. ”

Zhang Yuan's temper also surged, "If there is, what should Commander Chen do?" ”

"If there is, count you Zhang Yuan's credit."

The two argued, and suddenly there was applause.

Turning his head, Wu Gen was clapping vigorously, "What Commander Chen said is that as a box army, how can you be timid because of a small horse ghost head. ”

As he spoke, he took out a horse ghost head from the animal skin and threw it over, "I am from the Captain's Mansion, so I might as well lead by example and go to find out." ”

Seeing the horse ghost head flying, Commander Chen hurriedly turned his head sideways to dodge. The horse's head fell to the ground, bleeding a pool of red juice.

Suddenly, all the people present retreated, avoiding the plague as if they were avoiding the plague.

Commander Chen sneered: "Wu Gan, do you think I don't know your details, aren't you the gatekeeper of the school captain's mansion, what to pretend, this name of the horse washing model is well known in the army." ”

Wu Gan hehe, "I'm happy to wash the horse, and it's better to wash the horse than someone licking the toes of a nobleman." Some people are born with charming bones, pus on the soles of their feet, and they are born with a dog slave appearance. I'm sorry, it's insulting to say he's a dog. ”

“……”

After a while, Commander Chen relieved his breath, "Boy, you are looking for death." He reached out and pulled out the knife.

Wu Yan squinted his eyes, and said disdainfully with his neck: "Come on, come on, just cut here, grandpa is iron-clad, unlike some people, his whole body is soft and collapsed, and he has to find someone to help him when he enters a cave room." ”

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more stiff, the heavy rider who didn't say a word said angrily: "Shut up, like two shrews." Zhang Yuan, lead the way in front, and report to the nobles after I find out. ”

Commander Chen was stunned for a moment, "This general, how can you take care of some trivial things, just let Zhang Yuan and the others go." ”

Heavy riding ignored it, "The nobles are behind, and they must be seen with their own eyes before they can rest assured." Walk. ”

Commander Chen was just about to follow, and he waved his hand, "You stay here and wait for the nobles to wash their feet...... Phew, where have they been taken, just protect the safety of your nobles. ”

Zhang Yuan's five people urged their horses forward, leaving only Commander Chen with a stunned face.

After less than half a day of walking past the place where the remains were found, a Gobi Desert appeared in front of it, with a large stone forest and all kinds of strange rocks. As soon as the wind blew, whimpering sounded, as if there were thousands of monsters hiding in it.

Several men jumped off their horses and walked cautiously with the reins. Walking into the stone forest, ghosts cry wolves in all directions, and the wind howls. If there is a hell on earth, this is what it looks like.

Everyone's mind tensed and cautiously moved forward. After walking a hundred steps, the sand pestle suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and everyone quickly stopped.

Everyone stepped forward cautiously, and their eyes couldn't help but widen.

In the Gobi in front of you, there are round objects, the body is yellow-brown, and the shape is like a huge stone pill. It is covered with dense lines, like the belly of a woman who is pregnant with a baby for October.

These horse ghost heads are big and small, the small ones are only the size of eggs, and the big ones are two or three feet high, densely turned, which makes people tremble and frightened.

"Oh my God, there are so many, they're almost ripe, and there's still one in them." Zhang Yuan said with difficulty, turning his head to look at the heavy rider, "My lord, do you still need to go deeper?" ”

Heavy Rider took a deep breath, "No need, that's enough, thank you." ”

A few people turned around cautiously, for fear of waking up these monsters, and prepared to withdraw from this place.

Wu Gen rolled his eyes, pulled out a piece of animal skin from his body, carefully squatted next to a small horse ghost head that didn't look like it had grown yet, and dug it up with a knife.

"What are you doing?" A low cry came, and Heavy Rider's eyes widened, his voice trembled, and he asked in a low voice.

Wu Qian stretched out his fingers and made a slightly calming gesture, and soon dug a circular trench around the horse ghost's head, gently covered the animal skin on it, and pierced the animal skin into the soil with a knife.

Finally, the animal skin was inserted into the soil whole, Wu Yan put his palm into the ditch, held the animal skin with his hand, and pulled it up with a force.

Wu Yan tied the animal skin firmly with a rope, walked in front of the heavy horse, stretched out his hand and handed it over, "Here, it's good to make a physical evidence when you go back, so as to save some dogs from barking." Only then did everyone suddenly realize that only by handing over the heavy horses to the nobles' side would Commander Chen not start Zhou Zhang again.

The heavy rider didn't pick it up, and it didn't pick it up, and his face was really a little ugly, "You take it, and I will definitely report it to your nobles when I go back." ”

Wu Yan didn't refuse, and reached out to tie the animal skin around his waist. Is this a horse ghost head, this is money.

The men returned to the camp, and the heavy rider took the skin containing the horse's head and ran towards the carriage. Commander Chen looked at Zhang Yuan and the others suspiciously, and opened his mouth a few times but finally did not speak.

After a while, the heavy horse ran back and carefully handed back the animal skin to Wu Gan, "Your nobleman instructed that you should dispose of this thing properly." As he spoke, he glanced around, "According to the order of the nobles, the road from now on should be led by Wu Gan, and no one shall disobey it, otherwise, it will be cut immediately." ”

The soldiers looked at Wu Yan in disbelief, and they were all whispering.

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and quietly walked behind the heavy rider, "Don't mind, I'm here for the first time, wouldn't it cost me my head to take the wrong road." "Isn't it fragrant to follow behind others, and there is no good fruit to eat in front of you.

The heavy rider said to Wu Yan in a low voice: "The noble man said, you are cunning and clever, and it is a lot more comfortable to follow you in this kind of place." Knowing that some people may be dissatisfied and send me here to suppress the formation, you can make a bold decision, rest assured, if you dare to disobey, I will wring off his head. ”

"Oh." Wu Yan glanced at Commander Chen defiantly, grinding his teeth.

In the evening, everyone dismounted and rested. Wu Yan sat by the campfire, took out the animal skin, took out the horse ghost head, and tried to roast it on the fire. The sand pestle and the others who were originally gathered around the fire turned around in fright and ran, "You, you, what are you doing?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just trying to see how the medicine works." Wu Yan waved at them. This thing can be demagogic, it should be a drug or something. It is a little strange to listen to the sand pestle that it can still grow in the human body and control the poisoned person.

The heavy rider walked over, glanced at Wu Gan, sat down, and removed his visor. At this time, Wu Genfang saw clearly that under the visor was a young face, only twenty years old, and because he had been wearing the mask for many years, his skin was very fair.

"My name is Xiang Qi, and I'm the lieutenant of the guards." The young man was the first to speak, pausing for a moment before asking, "It's okay to make such a mess, if the horse ghost head is as powerful as you say, it is estimated that the whole camp will have to be explained here tonight." ”

Wu Yan turned the animal skin over, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Xiang Qi simply lay down, "Okay, believe you." After this mushroom forest, you have to go to the depths of the Starfall Plain to make some preparations. You just need to know about it, and you don't need to spread it. ”

Wu Gan's hand froze, "The more you go inside, the more terrifying I am afraid, can we people cope with it?" ”

"Don't worry, you have a way to deal with it."

The next day, Wu Gen led the convoy along the edge of the Gobi, trying to avoid the area where the horses and ghosts were concentrated. After walking for two days, everyone could still see the round horse ghost head swaying slightly in the wind.

Xiang Qi rushed over and whispered: "The noble man is a little anxious, you don't have to wait for the horse ghost head to disappear before passing, this place is already a lot sparse, just find a path to pass." ”

Wu Yan raised his head suddenly, "If it's one or two people, it's okay, how can so many people find a safe path, one careless, the whole army may be wiped out." ”

Xiang Qi was a little impatient, "The noble man said that he had to pass through the Gobi today.

After opening his mouth a few times, Wu Gen finally spoke, "Walk another five miles, if there is more, we will pass through the Gobi again." ”

"Okay." Xiang Qi stood up, "I'll help you explain it to your nobleman." ”

After the team traveled five miles, you could still see the head of the horse ghost, but it was much smaller, growing in twos and threes, and a carriage could pass through the gap in the middle.

"Let's go." Xiang Qi urged.

Wu Yan walked up to Zhang Yuan and the others, and said in a low voice: "If there is something discordant, don't care about any nobles, run away." ”

Zhang Yuan's face was solemn and he nodded. The convoy turned around and headed directly for the Gobi.

Along the way, everyone formed a long snake formation, lightened their steps, and moved forward slowly. Even those strange-looking people have changed their uninhibited appearance and moved forward carefully.

After walking for an hour, the surrounding horse ghosts were even more sparse, and it was not a problem for five or six people to move side by side. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the journey was tense and exhausted, and the convoy had to rest on the spot for a while.

Commander Chen looked at his side and said disdainfully: "What kind of horse ghost, how can it be so evil, it is all alarmist. ”

"That's it, I see that Wu Gan's kid still puts the horse ghost head next to him to play. Obviously, he wanted to use ghost words to calm everyone first, and then stand up in a fake way to gain the favor of nobles. I don't think this horse ghost is anything powerful, but it's just a rumor. A soldier next to him chimed in.

While saying this, this person walked to the nearest horse ghost head, poked it with a knife with a smile, turned his head and said, "Look, it's nothing." A mushroom, I see how it takes people's lives. ”

Wu Yan didn't want to deal with it, but when he turned around and saw this person's movements, he was stunned and shouted: "Run." ”

As he spoke, he turned over his horse and galloped wildly against the wind.
