Chapter 180: The Five-Foot Road
The strange man at the entrance of the forest seemed to be very patient, but Tang Xiaohao noticed that the strange man did not dare to take half a step out of the forest, but just stood there and looked at this side, as if he was very afraid of the white mud that extended to the edge of the forest.
Su Mu was extremely reluctant to change into Baomeng's costume first, and the moment he changed into the horse and walked out of the horse, everyone was stunned, even Baomeng was directly dumbfounded.
Because Su Mu changed into Baomeng's princess clothes, she looked like another princess, even if she was uncomfortable and uncomfortable in that dress, that twisted appearance was another kind of beauty in the eyes of everyone.
Su Mu saw that everyone didn't speak, so he had to say, "How is it?"
Tang Xiaohao still stared at Su Mu's eyes, and found that the previous pleading and sadness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by calmness.
Tang Xiaohao looked at Ji Chengying: "Lord Wang?" Look at the book
Ji Chengying, who was still fun-oriented, deliberately said, "Make do, change into the clothes of the little bell and take a look."
Tang Xiaohao knew that Su Mu was very reluctant, so he had to say, "Lord Wang, it's almost okay."
Ji Chengying didn't realize that Tang Xiaohao's tone was pleading, and he didn't feel Su Mu's helplessness, he just looked at Su Mu with expectant eyes, and shook his head to say no.
Helpless, Tang Xiaohao could only look at the little bell, and the little bell had to untie his burden: "Only that set of Nishihara singer's clothes remains."
Tang Xiaohao walked towards Su Mu with his baggage, but Su Mu didn't look at Tang Xiaohao from beginning to end, but simply took his clothes and went to the horse to change them.
After Su Mu changed into the costume of Nishihara Singer and walked out of the horse, the whole world was quiet.
The little bell, who originally just wanted to take a look, also fell on Su Mu's body.
I have to admit that as a man, Su Mu's beauty has exceeded the limit that this world can bear.
"Lieutenant Su, really, this, it's simply," Ji Chengying was already incoherent, "You were born to be a singer, right?"
Su Mu couldn't hold back when he heard this, and almost didn't draw his knife.
Please don't say those two words together, even if the emperor says homophonic stalks, it's a foul!
Tang Xiaohao said, "I think it's better to let Zhong Guan Su wear back the clothes of the princess before."
Ji Chengying asked, "Why? I think this set of singers is very suitable for Su Zhongguan."
The reason why Tang Xiaohao said this was precisely because of the disgust in Su Mu's eyes. Bao Meng's outfit is a traditional costume of the Tors Department, which looks more neutral and not as glamorous as the singer's costume.
Tang Xiaohao's verbal explanation to Ji Chengying was: "The princess's costume is close and flexible, which is convenient for Su Zhongguan's activities."
Ji Chengying also felt justified when he heard this, so he asked Su Mu to change back into his previous princess costume.
Then, Su Mu walked slowly towards the forest, and the others followed, but no one noticed that Gu Huaiyi, who was standing at the end, was not paying attention to the front, but was on Dugu Yixian beside him.
Dugu Yixian also slowed down his pace tacitly, and Gu Huaiyi was a little surprised when he saw this.
Dugu said in a low voice, "I know you can't run, but I also know that these meteorites can't restrain you."
Gu Huaiyi's face sank, and he asked rhetorically, "Who are you?"
Dugu Yiyi just smiled and didn't say a word, and quickened his pace to catch up with the person in front, and Gu Huaiyi was also forced to speed up.
However, Gu Huaiyi was 100% sure that the Jianghu Warlock beside him, who seemed to be half a bucket of water, was by no means an ordinary person.
Tang Xiaohao took a step ahead of Su Mu and walked to the strange man: "The person brought it to you."
The strange man looked at Su Mu carefully, Su Mu was still weak-hearted, and kept his head down, but the strange man seemed to be very satisfied with Su Mu, and after grabbing Su Mu's hand and pulling him to his side, he raised his hand and motioned for Tang Xiaohao and the others to enter the forest.
After Ji Chengying turned over and got on the horse, he deliberately said to Su Mu: "Don't blame me, blame you for being too beautiful, just sigh that the beautiful scenery is hard to keep, and your face is weak."
Tang Xiaohao frowned and looked at Su Mu, his face full of worry.
Su Mu watched Tang Xiaohao on the horse ride into the black forest with an expressionless face, and it was also at this time, whether it was Su Mu or the rest of the horse team,
Only then did I realize that there was indeed a five-foot-wide road in the black forest.
The five-foot-wide road was covered with green grass, unlike the rancid mud on the left and right, because of the gaps left by the dense black forest foliage above the road, and it was the sunlight that shone through the gaps that formed the five-foot road.
Ji Chengying looked at the road in front of him and was very surprised: "What a magical road?"
"Wulian Mountain is really weird, the soil is black, and the trees and leaves are also black," Tang Xiaohao looked up, "Except for the top of this road, the leaves in other locations block the sky tightly."
Although the sun was shining on the horse, Bao Meng still felt a chill down his spine, and although the little bell was as uncomfortable as before, he was more worried about why his magic power had not recovered, but was constantly weakening.
Ji Chengying asked a strange question at this time: "The road with sunlight is full of life, and the places that don't shine with sunlight are all black soil and mud, so is it that the trees that block the sunlight first produce black mud, or does the black mud grow into a black forest that blocks the sunlight above?"
Tang Xiaohao glanced at Ji Chengying and said, "Lord Wang, if you put this question in the present, it seems that there is a chicken or an egg first, but I am more concerned about why there is only a gap above this road that can let the sun shine down."
"Because this is artificial," Gu Huaiyi in the rear said, "It is the direction of the Big Dipper."
A few people in front turned their heads to look at Gu Huaiyi who was on the horse behind him, but Gu Huaiyi looked like no one in his eyes, and he didn't intend to continue to explain.
Childa looked up and asked a silly question, "It's daytime, where are the stars during the day?"
Tang Xiaohao looked at Bao Meng and said, "Princess, when you go back, you must not let this fool lead the army to fight again."
Naturally, Childa was not convinced: "What do you mean? There are no stars in the daytime."
Ji Chengying explained: "It's not that there are no stars during the day, the stars are always in that position, and they can't be seen during the day because the sunlight is too dazzling, now do you understand?"
After hearing this, Gilda was directly stunned, although he seemed to understand, but in fact he didn't understand, because he didn't understand the knowledge of astrology at all.
Bao Meng's knowledge was taught by Sang Luo, so Bao Meng knew that Tang Xiaohao's words were not a joke, even if the leading generals of the Dachang Dynasty did not understand the stars, but the strategists accompanying the army must understand, otherwise it would not be conducive to distinguishing the direction and identifying the weather during night battles.
Tang Xiaohao looked at the position of the sun: "Although the road is not wide, we also have to speed up, and we must rush to the next node within an hour, which is Tianxuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiaohao found that there was a person squatting on the tree next to him, and then more and more people appeared on the trunks of the surrounding trees, these people looked similar to the strange person before, wearing random clothes, and some of them were covered with animal bones, which looked very terrifying.
Tang Xiaohao grabbed the reins and comforted the horses under his seat, because a large number of strange people suddenly appeared on the trees on both sides, which had already frightened the horses, in case the horses were frightened to leave the five-foot road and run into the black forest, it would be tantamount to violating the territory of these strange people, and it would inevitably lead to conflicts.
Bao Meng, who was already scared, subconsciously whispered, "Who are these people?"
Tang Xiaohao immediately said, "Don't speak, just don't see it."
Having said that, everyone knew that the strange people on the trees on both sides were staring at them, and the number was very large, at least fifty or sixty people, but they didn't see these strange people with offensive weapons in their hands.
While everyone rode forward slowly along the five-foot road, the strange man at the entrance of the forest directly picked up Su Mu and jumped onto the big black tree next to him.
Although Su Mu looked weak, he was actually not lightweight, but the strange man could easily pick him up and jump from tree to tree, which let him know that these strange people should not be underestimated in terms of speed and strength.
Because Tang Xiaohao and the others had just left here on horseback, Su Mu didn't dare to get out of here, so he could only pretend to be obedient and let it go
The strange man carried himself and jumped into the depths of the black forest.
Along the way, Su Mu spotted more weirdos, some of whom were of different heights, some were very short, like children, and some were close to six feet tall, like giants.
Without exception, these strange people wore masks to cover their faces, and the clothes they wore were also a mix and match of animal skins and other things, and by the light of the fireflies in the woods, Su Mu also saw that there were many bones in the mud under the black forest, not only human but also horses and other animals.
Coupled with the fact that these weirdos only operate on trees, Su Mu concluded that the black mud below was problematic, either poisonous or like a swamp, and would sink into it as long as he stepped on it.
The strange man carried Su Mu and moved from tree to tree for a while, and then finally stopped, and then saw a big tree in front of him, so thick that it took at least seven or eight hands to hold it. There are also a number of wooden houses built on top of the trees, which look like the nests of these monsters.
The strange man carried Su Mu in front of one of the wooden houses and put him down, and just when Su Mu was puzzled, he saw a girl who looked like him coming out of the house.
The strange man spoke at this point, "She's the new mother."
Because of the reason why the strange man no longer spoke with his voice suppressed at this time, his voice seemed extremely immature, and the "mother" mentioned in the words made Su Mu stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The girl looked at Su Mu, obviously amazed by Su Mu's beauty, and couldn't speak for a long time.
The strange man took off the strange mask on his face: "The new mother is so beautiful."
Su Mu was even more surprised after seeing the face under the strange man's mask clearly, because under the mask was a child's face, which looked like he was only seven or eight years old.
The face of a seven or eight-year-old child, but with a burly figure than an ordinary adult, what is going on?
At the same time, many of the weirdos who came over also took off the camouflage that covered their faces, and Su Mu looked around and found that the terrible weirdos they were afraid of before were the same as the weirdos who took him away, although they all had a immature face, their bodies were all adults, and even those weirdos who were short and looked like children had strong bodies and looked very weird.
What the hell is going on? Su Mu frowned and looked around, and finally his eyes stayed on the girl in front of him.
There is no doubt that this girl of the same age as herself is the "toll" left by Kang Yongzhi's caravan in the past.
The girl reached out and touched the costume Su Mu was wearing: "You don't look like a Rouyuan person, why are you wearing a Rouyuan costume?" Still, you have to take it off, it's not suitable for this kind of clothing here."
With that, the girl grabbed Su Mu's hand and pulled him into the house, and the strange man from before waved his hand to signal the other strange people around him not to peek, and then jumped into another tree and waited.
