Although Tang Xiaohao can memorize the map of the entire Huayuan, it is impossible to mark the specific situation of each city and county on the map, so he does not know what Wangzhuang in Xinzheng County is.

Tang Xiaohao can only guess that Wangzhuang should not be a village, from the ancient period of Jiuyuan, the development of human gathering places is from villages to villages, to villages, market towns, and finally cities.

Therefore, there is no difference between the word village in a purely literal sense, the village is the village, and the village is the village, but in today's Huayuan, although it is also collectively referred to as the village, more often than not, the usage of the village is the settlement of a single clan.

From this point, it is speculated that Wangzhuang should be the place where the Wang family lived in Xinzheng County.

If Su Mu's body had recovered, Tang Xiaohao would definitely let him go and investigate first, but now that Su Mu was very weak, he dispelled this idea.

In fact, there is no difference between Su Mu and the waste man at this time, and he does not dare to say the fact that he has become a waste man, not only because of his self-esteem, but also because he is afraid of being left behind, because whether he becomes a thorn in the Xuan Department, or after he becomes a thorn, if he becomes a waste man, the final result can only be integrated with the soil.

Because there were no horses, the five of them could only advance in the dark at night, but fortunately, there was Tang Xiaohao, a living map, to lead the way, and it was not easy to be found at night.

Tang Xiaohao, who was walking in front, always paid attention to Su Mu, who was almost walking side by side with him, because he found that Su Mu's pace was unsteady, and it didn't seem to be as simple as not recovering his energy.

Although he hadn't known Su Mu for a long time, Tang Xiaohao also knew Su Mu's eccentric personality, so he didn't ask much, just got a little closer and was ready to help him at any time.

The little bell is still recalling her dream and looking for clues to her identity; Bao Meng is constantly using the return to Rouyuan to forget everything to numb his Sangluo's thoughts.

As for Cerda, he was actually wondering if all this had something to do with Lord Antai, and to find out this, he only had to arrive at Wangzhuang to know.

When approaching, the five people finally arrived at the outskirts of Xinzheng County, but they were faced with a fork in the road, and there was a stone tablet indicating the direction at the intersection, according to what was written on the stone tablet, you can go to Xinzheng County on the left, and Wangzhuang on the right.

After holding the fire fold and reading the words on the stone tablet, Gerda looked to the right and said, "Go to Wangzhuang here." ”

Everyone wanted to leave, but Tang Xiaohao stopped him: "It's too late, we don't know exactly what Wangzhuang is, it's better to go to Xinzheng County to find an inn to rest first, and wait for tomorrow to go again." ”

Su Mu immediately agreed: "I think what Master Ma said is right, what if Wang Zhuang is cheating?" ”

Childa no longer insisted this time: "Okay, then go to Xinzheng County." ”

Bao Meng looked at the stele and was still distracted, and it wasn't until Gurda stepped forward to remind her that she came back to her senses.

After the five of them walked away towards the road in the county seat of Xinzheng County, the lone members Ah Mo and Yue Yan slowly walked out of the darkness and went straight to the stone tablet.

After Yueyan walked to the stone stele, she looked at the completely opposite direction on the stele and asked, "Why does this stele have two sides?" ”

The stele does have two sides, and the inscriptions on both sides are exactly the same, but in opposite directions. That is to say, the guiding stone that was originally erected here is Wangzhuang to the left and Xinzheng County to the right. Because Ah Mo turned the stele around, Tang Xiaohao and the others are not going to Xinzheng County now, but Wangzhuang.

Ah Mo sat directly on the stele and said: "This is not a stele, see it clearly, this size is obviously a tombstone, the word Wang Zhuang, it was not originally written like this, it was originally called Death Village, the death of death." ”

Yueyan was surprised, but she just showed a surprised expression, she learned to be obedient after she was almost killed by Ah Mo last time, and she didn't ask if she knew she shouldn't ask.

Ah Mo looked at Yueyan and giggled, she knew that Yueyan was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask, she enjoyed this feeling very much, this feeling of holding her human life in her hands, it was like a mouse pinched in her hand, and the mouse would squeak and scream if she used a little force.

Ah Mo said: "Someone in the Tors Department thinks that they are the ones who have the initiative, but in fact, we are the ones who have the initiative. Sometimes, things go too smoothly and there are problems, and you see everything that happens along the way? Su Mu, the top master of the Xuan Division, is almost abolished, and there is no other reason than because of Jing Yuan. ”

For the lonely army, the existence of Xuanbu is not a secret, so who Su Mu is, Ah Mo knows very well.

Yue Yan just nodded, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Ah Mo said again: "That Childa is a reckless man, if he was wise and brave, he would not have sent him to Huayuan, but he is still useful, we must also ensure the safety of the princess, and it is necessary to let the princess return to Rouyuan with thrills." Of course, the only thing that surprised me was the colt, but I didn't expect that he was completely different from the rumors, wise and brave, and one person could kill the two killers of Feng Manlou. ”

The living corpse, the fisherman and the earth ghost are all killers of the Jianghu organization Feng Manlou, although they are not ranked high in Feng Manlou, but under the premise that Su Mu is in a coma, it is more than enough to deal with Tang Xiaohao and others.

Ah Mo originally wanted to help, but he didn't expect that Tang Xiaohao could solve two of them.

Yue Yan couldn't help but say, "How did the killer die in the end?" ”

There is no doubt that the death of the earth ghost has something to do with the little bell, and when Ah Mo witnessed that scene, she immediately understood that the identity of the little bell was not simple, so among the people in that group, she was most interested in the little bell now.

Although Yueyan was sent by the organization to assist Ah Mao, she didn't know what Ah Mo was going to do, and what Ah Mo would do with herself, the only thing that was clear was that her life was in Ah Mao's hands.

Besides, Tang Xiaohao and the others, after walking for about a mile, finally came to what they thought was Xinzheng County, but before entering the county seat, they found that something was not quite right, because it was too quiet, strictly speaking, it was not quiet, but dead silence.

The five of them stood at the corner of the street, looking at the empty street, and they were a little frightened.

Although the streets of Zishi were supposed to be empty, why couldn't they hear the time signal and the sound of gongs? Moreover, there was no dog barking, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves on the ground, but the sound seemed to be the claws of something rubbing against the ground.

Su Mu, who is a thorn, likes this dead and silent environment very much, and this kind of environment means safety to him. Although he is no different from a wasted person now, his perception ability has not completely disappeared, after all, he has been trained for many years, and it has nothing to do with martial arts and internal force concealment techniques.

It was Su Mu's strange "sense of security" that made him feel that there was something wrong here, why couldn't a county feel the breath of any living creatures?

Su Mu raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop, stood there and looked around, and then said, "Don't worry, something is wrong here." ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "I'm not blind, I can see it, something must be wrong." ”

The little bell stared at the darkness ahead: "Don't be afraid, it's not you. ”

Tang Xiaohao said disdainfully: "What are you kidding, how can I be afraid?" ”

The little bell turned his head to look at Tang Xiaohao, who was clinging to him: "If you're not afraid, why do you want to hold me?" ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately let go: "I thought you were afraid, so get closer and give you some warmth." ”

Childa knew that Bao Meng was scared, so she deliberately stood a little closer to the princess. In Joorwon, the people of Johor would not go out at night unless there was something special, because it was easy to encounter wolves or other fierce beasts, but no matter what, as long as you lit a torch, you can light up the surroundings.

It's different in Huayuan, in addition to the jungle, there are all kinds of buildings in front of you, and the wind that makes strange noises shuttling through it, giving people the illusion that the plants and trees are all soldiers, but the horror of the plants and trees.

Tang Xiaohao fixed his mind and said, "Let's find an inn first." ”

Su Mu nodded in agreement, and the five of them walked towards the town.

Ah Mo and Yue Yan followed behind, keeping their distance, while suppressing their breath to avoid being discovered by Su Mu.

When Yueyan saw those buildings, she was very surprised: "Shouldn't this road go to Wangzhuang?" How could it be Xinzheng County? ”

Ah Mo said: "Who told you that this is Xinzheng County? ”

Yueyan was puzzled: "These buildings and the surrounding Cheng are obviously supposed to be towns, how can they be called villages?" ”

Ah Mo said expressionlessly: "This is the interesting place here, what's the matter, are you afraid?" ”

Although Yue Yan was indeed a little scared in her heart, she still shook her head.

Tang Xiaohao and the others didn't know that this was not the so-called Xinzheng County, so they walked forward along the street, looking at the buildings with closed doors and windows on both sides.

Tang Xiaohao noticed that something was not quite right, because the doors and windows of the building were covered with dust, and it was dust accumulated over many years, as if there was no one living here for a long time.

Tang Xiaohao stopped: "Something is wrong here, don't go any further, we should return the same way." ”

Su Mu walked to the door of a shop with a sign of a rice shop, reached out and touched it: "Such a thick ash." ”

Tang Xiaohao pointed to the couplets on both sides: "There are also couplets, old and dilapidated, the color of the red paper has almost faded, not to mention that it has been two years." ”

After Su Mu and Tang Xiaohao looked at each other, they prepared to return along the same path with the others, never expecting a man who looked trembling to come out of the corner of the house in front of them at this time.

When the man saw them, he was startled, and the lantern and gong he was carrying in his hand almost fell to the ground, and it took him a long time to settle down and look at the five of them carefully.

The hair on the man's head should be a showman, at least a showman, and he was wearing a robe that a man wears every day, but the robe has been washed white, and there are many patches. Coupled with the lantern and gong in his hand, he judged that he should be a down-and-out talent, and in order to make a living, he had to be a watchman.

Su Mu stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The watchman asked rhetorically: "You, yes, who are you?" Why, why is it here? ”

I don't know if the beater was scared or born to stutter, and he spoke very badly.

Tang Xiaohao knew Su Mu's temperament and temperament, and was worried about conflict, so he stepped forward and said: "This little brother, a few of us are from Shendu, and we went to Liangcheng to visit relatives, passing through Xinzheng County, and wanted to find an inn to settle in." ”

When the watchman heard it, he asked rhetorically: "Xinzheng County?" This is not Xinzheng County, this is Wangzhuang, don't you see the stone monument at the fork in the road? ”

Everyone was stunned, and Tang Xiaohao immediately said: "We just followed the road pointed out by the stone tablet." ”

The watchman scratched his head: "Then you must have seen it wrong, Xinzheng County is another road, but tonight you also bumped into the day of our county festival in Xinzheng County, even if you go back to the county seat, you can't find an inn for you to settle down." ”

The people looked at the watchman and did not know what he was talking about, because to them the word "county sacrifice" was sacrifice.

In particular, Bao Meng and Childa immediately nodded in understanding. Because in Johara, until every special festival, livestock is sacrificed to the nine heavens.

Calla asked, "Is it a holiday today?" ”

The watchman was puzzled: "It's the day of the county festival." ”

Bao Meng immediately said to Gilda: "Their sacrifice here is a festival in itself. ”

A few people who were already confused became even more confused after Baomeng and Gelda said this.

The watchman glanced at Bao Meng, who was standing a little farther away, and then pulled his gaze back to Tang Xiaohao: "You are really outsiders, even people who are close to Ruiyang County know what the county sacrifice means." ”

Tang Xiaohao took a few bronze dragons and handed them to the watchman: "Little brother, since this is the case, we won't stay, please show us the way." ”

Tang Xiaohao just took out a few bronze dragons, which surprised the little bell, you must know that he is very generous in his daily shots. In fact, Tang Xiaohao also did it on purpose, walking outside, it is basic common sense that wealth is not exposed, even if he has never gone out, he has heard those masters who taught him martial arts since he was a child.

The watchman didn't pick up the bronze dragon, and lazily raised his hand and pointed behind him: "If you walk along this street, you can leave Wangzhuang, but if you want to go to Ruiyang County, it is estimated that you have to walk for a day." ”
