February 15.

The southbound trail is potholed, passing through a single tree and flowing through a stream. Two skinny horses rode two ragged wanderers, carefully riding their horses across the bridge.

One of them was dressed in a filthy monk's robe, with a bare head and a thick, curly beard growing from his chin.

The thin horse he rode under him had a large hairless bald spot on its buttocks, red and swollen as if it had been removed by life.

The two of them are macho men and monks in disguise.

Zheng Xiu and Ruchen continued to move south, avoiding Ye Weiyang's sphere of influence.

When approaching the Nuzhou region, Zheng Xiu and Ruchen each rode a horse, and never encountered a raven again.

Zheng Xiu never heard the whispering footsteps and breathing again.

If nothing else, Zheng Xiu stayed away from the crow keepers.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is that if nothing else, it will happen soon. Zheng Xiu didn't dare to be careless, so he worked tirelessly to travel two thousand miles south.

"Brother Zheng, do you want to rest for a while?"

Ruchen looked at Zheng Xiu's haggard expression, sitting on the back of a horse and staggering, and his heart was not good.

"It doesn't matter, I have countless advantages, and there is no doubt that I am brave and unparalleled, and I am very good!"

Zheng Xiu smiled and waved his hand, answering the monk's questions and worries with a light joke.

After calculation, Zheng Xiu is equivalent to not having a good night's sleep in a month.

In the past ten days, he has not encountered the pursuit of the raven and Ye Weiyang, which made Zheng Xiu breathe a sigh of relief, but he also felt puzzled.

And that gets them out of the way?

Zheng Xiu knew that Ye Weiyang had guessed his route to the north at the beginning.

Immediately after killing the wolf in the Devil's Crying Forest, Zheng Xiu deliberately said that he was going west into the desert under the nose of the raven.

He was a little scared after he hurriedly left the Devil Crying Forest, the ravens were almost all handed, and at night the ravens could be said to be wearing protective colors, and they were extremely hidden. Later, Zheng Xiu pondered it and understood what Kui Wolf's idea was. Delay time or kill, kill two birds with one stone.

All in all, Zheng Xiu fired two smoke bombs, "to the north" and "to the west", in order to confuse Ye Weiyang and delay their pace of chasing the two.

The territory of the Daqian Dynasty is vast, and it is obviously not easy for Ye Weiyang to find Zheng Xiu and Ruchen in the vast sea of people.

The key is to keep a low profile.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiu and Ruchen disguised themselves after entering the boundary of Nuzhou Prefecture.

At this time, Ruchen and the former Qingxiu were like two people, with a lump of black horse hair on the chin that should have been smooth, and the face was deliberately smeared with mud, with the bald head that did not grow a single grass, he looked like a wild monk wandering the world.

Zheng Xiu's hair was disheveled and his clothes were ragged, and now if he found a black cloth to cover his eyes, he could go to the street and pretend to be a blind beggar.

"Brother Zheng, do you really plan to be eaten into the picture scroll, sacrifice your life for righteousness, and rescue the Fengbei benefactor?"

"Phew!" Zheng Xiu squeezed out a smile on his tired face, and scolded with a smile: "your raven's mouth, remove the words 'sacrifice life for righteousness'!" I'm not going to die. ”

"Pictureable Dangerous ......"

"How could I not know." Zheng Xiu interrupted Ruchen's words, Ruchen didn't know that Zheng Xiu had the skills to attack ghosts, so he was so worried, and it was understandable.

But the Raiders Ghost Snake is the strength of the [Prisoner] Path, and it is also the secret of being a [Prisoner], Zheng Xiu naturally can't reveal it to Ruchen. Faced with Ruchen's worries, Zheng Xiu could only answer vaguely: "Don't worry, I am sure that now I only need to find a hidden place that I can't find in the night, and then I can attack two with peace of mind...... Ahem, I mean to rescue Fengbei with peace of mind. ”

Zheng Xiu quietly looked away from Ruchen's reflective head.

Along the way, Zheng Xiu has become more and more aware of Ruchen.

Ruchen is indeed "troublesome" from time to time, that is, the sub-personality emerges. But every time the deputy personality appears, it is probably a few words, and Ruchen will soon be back online, and even he himself doesn't know what he said and did when he was "troubled".

This short period of crazy nonsense, once you get used to it, is quite interesting.

For example, one night, the sleeping Ruchen suddenly got up, walked in front of Zheng Xiu with cat steps, looked resentful, and said in a frightening sentence:

"You bad-hearted man! Why do you turn a blind eye to the concubine's face all day long? ”

Inexplicably, he was scolded by a monk who pointed his nose at the negative man, and he was still in the world, and he still had a face, Zheng Xiu laughed angrily at that time, and raised his middle finger towards Ruchen: "Get out!" Lao Tzu doesn't like men! ”

"The concubine is a yellow flower girl~"

Zheng Xiu knocked Ruchen unconscious with a punch and threw him aside.

The next morning, Ruchen pointed to an egg-sized swollen bag on his head and screamed in pain, wondering.

All in all, the "demons" of Ruchen are harmless.

If you look at it as "intermittent illness" and "normal convulsions", it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

The climate in the south is completely different from that in the north, and there is also a certain gap with Shuzhou.

At this time, the north is still cold and snowy, but the south has warmed up, and the climate is damp and irritating.

They were riding horses, struggling to walk through the dense forest, where hundred-year-old trees shaded the sky and the sun, the shadows of the trees under the horse's hooves, the vines were entangled, and snakes, insects, rats and ants grew and developed in nests.

Walking in the forest, Ruchen can even clearly hear the sound of groups of poisonous snakes spitting letters.

Hiss...... Hiss...... Hiss......

"Smack!"

Ruchen slapped his neck, spread out his palm and looked, there was a giant mosquito the size of half a fingernail lying in the palm of his palm, which was lying in Ruchen's palm at the moment, vomiting the blood that had been absorbed not long ago back into Ruchen's palm.

"Smack!"

There were two more fat mosquitoes lying on the bald head.

Ruchen can only keep slapping himself to repel mosquitoes.

Halfway through the dense forest, Ruchen's head and neck, but everywhere it was exposed, there were large and small swollen lumps.

On the other hand, Zheng Xiu was not hungry for mosquitoes along the way, but comfortable.

"Why do the mosquitoes treat you like nothing?"

Unconvinced.

"Oh, people and human constitutions can't be generalized, maybe your flesh and blood smell better. Many years ago, I read a story about a monk with fine skin and tender meat, named Tang Xuanzang, and legend has it that if you eat his meat, you can live forever and stay young forever......"

Finally, I finally got out of the dense forest, and my eyes suddenly opened up.

The vast wilderness is dotted with villages and towns, lush green and lush jungles between the mountains in the distance, and snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The cold wind blew on his face, like dust scratching the bag on his head, while listening to the "well-informed" Brother Zheng tell the story of "monk meat", he finally got out of the head, shook the reins, quickly ran out of the mosquito hunting range, and turned around to ask: "Brother Zheng, now that we have entered the boundary of Swamp State, where are you going to go?" ”

Zheng Xiu took out a map from his arms.

A few days ago, when the two of them were climbing a mountain, they happened to meet a sturdy female hunter who had gone up the mountain to hunt, but she was hunted instead, and was forced to climb a tree by a fierce tiger. After Zheng Xiu drove away the tiger and rescued the hunter, the hunter enthusiastically invited the two life-saving benefactors home to have a full meal to repay the grace of saving her life. The words even vaguely revealed the meaning that the great kindness and virtue could not be repaid, and it was better to promise each other with his body.

The macho man refused: "You don't have to." ”

When the lost hunter learned that the macho man and the monk wanted to go south, she sent a map that recorded the main roads of the four southern states, some mountains, rivers, towns and villages. In the end, the sturdy huntress reluctantly watched the macho man leave with tears in her eyes, hoping that the macho man would leave a map to see things and think about people.

When Zheng Xiu took out the map, Ruchen's serious expression changed suddenly, and his eyebrows and temperament were a little more fierce, but he poked Zheng Xiu's chest and teased: "Hehe! People are infatuated for ruthless, Lao Tzu really can't understand, the ancients should be flowing and the marriage should be flowing, you are just pretending to be benevolent and righteous, and the meat sent to your mouth can be spit out. ”

As Zheng Xiu became more and more familiar with Ruchen, Zheng Xiu could even distinguish several of the sub-personalities.

He gave aliases to several "demons" he knew, mainly to make it easier to distinguish.

"Bandits", "Bear Kids", "Scholars", "Oiran", etc.

Now the "bandits" who are emerging in the body of Ruchen are the "bandits".

This is the one who has a fierce personality, unscrupulous words, and the one who is the most unbeatable among the "demons" in Ruchen.

"Itchy skin?"

Zheng Xiu raised his casserole-sized fist and squeezed it hard, and green tendons appeared on his fist.

Ruchen returned to normal in an instant, and looked at the map in Zheng Xiu's hand as usual.

Zheng Xiu didn't take Ruchen's "troublesome demon" to heart at all, and pointed to a mountain in the southwest of Nuzhou, with a note written below.

Ruchen exclaimed: "The first peak in the world, Tianyin Mountain? Legend has it that the snow does not melt all year round, it is not easy to go up the mountain, it is difficult to go down, the terrain is so steep that even the most outstanding craftsmen cannot repair the mountaineering plank road on Tianyin Mountain! Once an avalanche is even more lifeless, how do you think of going there? ”

Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "It's just what I want, Ye Weiyang will appear in the place where the trick occurred, and the ravens will build nests in flocks around the bustling downtown area." I'm not saying that if you want to climb to the top, you just need to find a place nearby that no one cares about, and hide for ten days and a half. Even if the ravens sense the breath, it is difficult to get there in a short time. It takes a certain amount of time for ravens to gather, and one or two ravens alone cannot attract a crow keeper, otherwise he would have appeared long ago. ”

This is the conclusion that Zheng Xiu came to after killing Kui Wolf.

"I see! Brother Zheng is really cautious! Don't be a man! ”

The destination is very clear, Zheng Xiu and Ruchen rode around on horseback, avoiding the town and the official road. After a few more days, Zheng Xiu kept vigilant for the trail of ravens, and finally came to the southwest of Nuzhou, where the towering snow-capped mountains were close in front of him.

After Ruchen lost his memory, his range of activities was almost limited to the area of General Town. Traveling with Zheng Xiu along the way, although it was mixed with the embarrassment of the end of the world, the customs and snacks he had never heard of along the way opened his eyes and made him addicted.

Tianyin Mountain is the wall of the moat of Daqian, no one can cross Tianyin Mountain, and the range of Nuzhou is vast and adjacent to other countries, but there is no Shenwu army stationed, which is also one of the reasons why Zheng Xiu chose to go south.

Approaching Tianyin Mountain, the terrain rises layer by layer, and Zheng Xiu found on the map that the town closest to Tianyin Mountain is called "Jingtang Town". Zheng Xiu was going to prepare some clothes and dry food in Jingtang Town.

"On the way, we saw uneven roads and saved a lot of coils, which should be enough for us to use." Before entering the city, Zheng Xiu earnestly advised Ruchen: "Remember, we must act in a low-key, low-key, low-key manner, and we must not attract attention!" ”

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng!"

Ruchen looked up in the direction of the city in shock, pulled Zheng Xiu's sleeve, and pulled off Zheng Xiu's entire sleeve without noticing for a while, and exclaimed: "Look, there seems to be a fire over there!" ”

Zheng Xiu followed Ruchen's gaze, and sure enough, there was a billowing black smoke rising in the city, and they didn't see it from a distance before entering the city, obviously the fire had just been burned.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee-hee-he The little clay figurines dance and make strange movements.

Ruchen grinned, as if he was talking to the clay man, and asked himself: "Little Nini, tell me, what happened earlier?" ”

"Huh?" Ruchen put his hand to his ear, and his eyes glared: "Huh? You say there's a dead man's smell ahead? Burn people? What a stinking dead man's smell? ”

Syllable.

The dancing clay figurines turned into yellow mud again, got up like dust, turned their heads, and disappeared without a trace with a smile on their faces. I saw Ruchen exclaimed: "It seems that someone has been burned to death in front?" Ay? After being surprised, Ruchen scratched his head with a puzzled face: "How does the little monk know about Lak?" ”

"Alright." Zheng Xiu patted Ruchen's shoulder and said calmly: "Don't forget what I said before, we need to keep a low profile, and don't use thaumaturgy indiscriminately." Zheng Xiu stepped on the "dusty little Nini" and emphasized again: "Low-key, not eye-catching." ”

Ruchen lowered his head, and there was a little more struggle in his eyes. But soon, Ruchen smiled: "Brother Zheng, when the two of us are here, it's time to part ways, the little monk will go and see first, Brother Zheng doesn't have to follow, everything is focused on the overall situation!" Brother Zheng, you go up the mountain first, find a secluded place, and hurry up to rescue Fengbei Shishi! ”

After saying that, Ruchen turned around, waved his hand at Zheng Xiu with his back, and ran quickly in the direction of the black smoke, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ruchen ran and laughed, and the laughter fluttered into the city.

Zheng Xiu stood in place for a while, then turned around and wanted to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, Zheng Xiu subconsciously tightened the strap on his shoulders, stood for a moment, and turned around to enter the city again.

As soon as he entered the city, Zheng Xiu noticed something strange, there was no one on the spacious street. The houses were scattered, but all the doors and windows were closed, and there were faint voices of people whispering to each other, breathing, and adults to lower their voices and reprimand children.

Odd.

Zheng Xiu looked around, and his keen [intuition] suddenly made him sense the strangeness of the atmosphere in the city. But this was not a hint from the approaching crisis, it simply made Zheng Xiu feel that the atmosphere was weird.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiulong walked like the wind, and suddenly woke up after walking a few more steps.

There's someone in the house! That's the weirdest part.

Smoke and fire were burning in the city, and it was said that there were people burning to death in front of them, but the other people in the city were hiding at home with their doors and windows closed as if they didn't know?

Unless, the people of the city know that a fire will be burned today.

In the blink of an eye, the billowing black smoke was not far away.

Although one of Ruchen's personalities walks the [Walking] path and walks like electricity, the muscular strength of the macho man is not fake, only Ruchen is a few steps slower.

"Babble, woo wow curry......"

The hoarse voice hummed and chirped, and the tone turned nine times, as if singing a strange song, Zheng Xiu saw a guy with a rickety figure, a feather mask on his face, a strange costume, a bell on his body, and a drum around his waist, who was shaking his body and making a bell, and at the same time echoing with the drum, dancing with the rhythm.

It's a god tuning witch!

"Let go of the woman!"

Ruchen rushed into the crowd, and several people rushed forward to scold and stop Ruchen.

After three or two efforts, he was pressed to the ground by several strong men with straw forks, unable to move.

Zheng Xiu's pupils shrank, and he was immediately shocked. What shocked him was not the Divine Witch, let alone being pressed down like dust.

But in the middle of the open space in the city, a high fire was piled up, and it was burning. There was a wooden pillar on the fire, and a beautiful woman dressed in ordinary clothes, holding a bright red swaddling cloth in her arms, was suffering from the flames.

She hugged the swaddling clothes, held them in her arms, and protected them with her body.

"Wow-"

A baby's cry could be heard in swaddling clothes.

This scene made Zheng Xiu's scalp tingle instantly.

The townspeople are... Burn the living!

One big and one small, two living people.

This scene is like a cruel blood sacrifice of the living!

Night shift, take the time to write on your phone...... Sorry for being late.
