The procession of sending off relatives went out of the city gate for ten miles, and the sedan chair was changed into a carriage and hurried forward. They had to send the bride to Jianguan City, more than 600 miles away, on time before the auspicious hour of noon on the fourth day.

Sleep day and night, rush to the hour every day, and travel nearly 200 miles. Everything went smoothly and there were no accidents. Three days later, in the evening, the family send-off team came to the official inn outside Jinxiu Town, which was less than sixty miles away from Jianguan, as planned!

Inside and outside the post station, Ji Cheng had already sent five thousand swordsmen to guard it. With the experience of being attacked by Hong Menglang last time, all the guards inside and outside the inn this time wore gas masks and had enough antidote medicines. The roof and the ground are all covered with iron nets for two layers, ensuring that Hongmenglang has no chance to drill.

The sedan chair landed and arranged for the bride to stay. The deacon sent by Jianguan to welcome his relatives stepped forward to give all the relatives money and arranged a banquet for everyone to eat and drink.

After dinner, the lights were lit around the station. The people were on the alert all night.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened on the last night.

Luo Fan leaned against the treetops, sleepless all night, and did not notice anything abnormal.

Ye Si followed in the distance, his eyes were already red, and he frowned and said to himself, "Is this a madman?" After walking for three days and three nights, he not only ran around, but also never slept a single night! ”

How did he know that two hours of sleep was usually enough for Luofan. If you run away, you can withstand a stick of incense every day. And this is another magic weapon for survival.

The next morning, before dawn, everyone washed and cleaned up. Simply ate and continued on your way.

Luo Fan looked back at the fragrant Ye who was sleeping under the tree, smiled, and threw a stone to wake him up.

Ye Si woke up and saw that the people and horses were all pulled, so he hurriedly chased after him on horseback.

Before noon, the team came to two miles outside the Sword Pass. The Ji family welcomed another group of people, and they enthusiastically served tea and water to everyone and sent snacks, and generously gave everyone red envelopes. The matchmaker and messenger who sent the relatives each had ten taels of red envelopes, and the maid and the servant also had two taels. Holding such a thick red envelope, everyone grinned with a smile, and all of them smiled, congratulating again and again: "The Ji family is really a wealthy family, and the eldest lady is married to a good husband!" ”

The terrain is wide, it is difficult to hide the ambush soldiers, and everyone can rest in peace!

And Xue Yuran made up to catch fast, and was accompanied by a young catcher. This young man has a heroic posture, a hearty face, holding a good sword, always smiling, and looking heartless and happy. He is Ji Cheng's only righteous son, Yi Chuanfeng. It was also the master sent by Ji Cheng to replace Luo Fan to protect Xue Yuran.

Xie Xu and Zhao Xue came to Yi Chuanfeng, Xie Xu arched his hand and said, "Brother Yi, it seems that Hongmenglang is too scared to come." Now that there are two ways of people and horses to protect, and it has reached the border of Jianguan again, it should be safe. Whether to let Yuran go into the sedan chair to change into wedding clothes and prepare to enter the city! ”

Yi Chuanfeng smiled: "Of course. It's a pity, I originally wanted to compete with Hongmenglang. But it's a good thing. Marriage matters. Then young lady, please! ”

Xue Yuran, accompanied by Zhao Xue, returned to the sedan chair to change into wedding clothes. Apply a little light makeup, put on a colorful crown and a shawl, and sit in a sedan chair. When the rest was not long, everyone rejoiced, blew suona, sounded firecrackers, and rushed to the city.

Luofan rode on his horse and followed from afar. I inevitably muttered in my heart, what is this Red Menglang thinking? After walking for three days, he didn't even show up, could it be that he wanted to do something in Jianguan City? At this time, there are thousands of masters gathered in Jianguan City, and if you want to steal people there, you don't have the courage to do so.

Although he didn't know Hongmenglang's plans, Luo Fan was sure that he would not miss the appointment. Such a greedy and arrogant thief will not let go of the opportunity to become famous today.

Not long after, the sedan chair has come to the gate of Jianguan City, and it is less than ten zhang away from the city gate. Suddenly, there was a "bang" explosion, and the ground exploded in an instant!

The earthquake shook and shook, obscured by poisonous smoke on all sides, and it was impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south. The horses under the seats were frightened, and they rushed into each other and trampled wantonly, and the scene became a mess.

"Don't panic! Protect the bride! ”

The masters stopped the horses and shouted from all sides. Dozens of masters couldn't see the road, and still rushed to the sedan chair regardless of the danger. However, the smoke was so thick that many people hit it directly and injured themselves.

Xie Xu relied on his internal strength to pass others, forced his way out, and rushed over! When I came to the place where the sedan chair fell, I felt empty under my feet and almost fell! Flying in the air, he raised his palm angrily and drank: "Crazy lion paw!" Waves! ”

With a palm strike, the air flow surged into the sky, and the powerful energy overturned more than a dozen people around. The thick fog swept into the air, and the scene was clear. Everyone looked down and saw a huge hole in the ground!

The hole in the ground is three zhang deep, and there is a thick straw underneath, and the bride's sedan chair is falling into it. At this time, there were still seven or eight female guards and matchmakers guarding the sedan chair in the cave!

Xie Xu hurriedly jumped into the hole and opened the sedan chair curtain, which was already empty! I put down the sedan curtain and looked up, but I saw a deep dark secret passage under the cave. Knowing that Xue Yuran had been kidnapped, he raised his head and shouted to the people on the ground: "There is a secret passage below!" Light the torch and chase after me! ”

Several masters fell down and carried the unconscious man out. The people on the ground were in a hurry, hurrying to bring torches and light them! Everyone was about to go down the hole with torches, when suddenly there was a rumbling explosion in front of them!

Xie Xu saw that the hole in the ground was about to collapse, and exclaimed: "Run!" The hole is going to blow up. ”

Everyone panicked and fled out of the cave. Immediately afterward, there was another wave of shaking. By the time it was quiet, the entire cavern had been completely blocked!

Seeing that the hole was blocked, Zhao Xue was sweating profusely, and said in a panic: "The little junior sister is gone, and the hole is also blocked." What should I do? There are so many seniors in Jianguan who are still waiting for the bride! ”

Xie Xu frowned, looked at Yi Chuanfeng on the side, and said busily: "Brother Yi, you are a person from the Sword Pass." Please quickly recruit dozens of craftsmen to dig holes in the ground, and maybe you can find the whereabouts of the other party through the holes. I took the others to immediately scour the surrounding area for a few miles to see if I could find the exit to the secret passage. Zhao Xue, you go to Jianguan and ask Senior Ji to send more people to investigate the surrounding dozens of miles. ”

The crowd immediately turned over and went their own way.

The groom Ji Changkong saw that the bride was lost, but his face was indifferent, and he rode home by himself. It seems that he doesn't care too much about this family matter.

Luo Fan saw everything from a distance, and snorted coldly: "Red Bird, this time you learned smart!" Xue Yuran, this is the consequence of your false Taoism. Now, you still have to bother me to save you. Whether you can save it or not depends on your own life. ”

Luo Fan immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards the ghost town of Hades, fifty miles northwest of Jianguan.

The moment he saw the hole in the ground just now, Luo Fan thought of the shovel door that specializes in digging holes and ditches in the underworld. In just a few days, Hongmenglang wanted to dig out a tunnel that led to the Sword Pass several miles long without leaving a trace, which only the shovel gate could do.

And the shovel gate is only fifty miles away from the sword pass, and there is no reason why Hongmenglang should not ask them for help. As long as you rush to the shovel door, you can find the clues to the whereabouts of Hongmenglang!

The horses don't stop, and the wind and clouds are chasing. Luo Fan didn't stop one step, and he had arrived at the ghost town of Hades in half an hour. Ye Si followed behind Luo Fan, looking left and right, not knowing whether to follow Luo Fan or help find Xue Yuran. Finally, he gritted his teeth and thought: "Forget it! A lot of people doesn't necessarily work. Luofan must have a back hand, let's follow him! ”

The Tiandu Dynasty was divided into north and south. To the north of the Flag City, two thousand miles near the Dragon Castle in Kyoto, it is customary to call it Neiguan. Neiguan has a warm climate, many plain terrains, and developed commerce, agriculture and fishery. Outside the Jianguan, the climate is cold, and the mountains are vertical and horizontal, so it is often called the outer pass.

Waiguan is rich in minerals, with many products such as gold, silver, copper, iron and so on. The people here are fierce, and there are many mountain bandits and bandits, and these bandits are each king, forming thousands of gangs. In particular, the eight mountains and nine rivers outside the Sword Pass have the largest number of people and the strongest power.

The people here often tell a joke: the eight mountains of Waiguan are all over the king, and the nine rivers are wide and strong. After crossing the Tianshui ditch, the bandits were ganged in three miles, and the robbers were busy in ten miles. Passers-by pick up the essence, if there is no money to cut the intestines. The water hides ghosts, the trees hang their souls, and the loess under their feet hides the dead. The king of Yama and the god of the earth are also panicked when they enter this place. Running in a panic, running in a hurry, the book of life and death can't really be written.

From this joke, it is enough to see the scourge of bandits outside the border. If it weren't for the Jianguan Ji family, the Neiguan Martial Arts Alliance, and the Thirteen Jianyue with the same qi, they would block Jianguan City. I'm afraid that these bandits have already broken into the inner gate.

And these gangs also often fight and swallow each other. In order to ensure safety, local gangs have formed various alliances. Hades Ghost Town is one of them.
