""Knock~Knock~Knock~"

Just as Lu Xuan was about to stab out the copper coin sword to take the lead, three thick and dull knocking sounds suddenly sounded, and the red embroidered shoes that stopped outside the eight-carried sedan chair disappeared immediately.

Lu Xuan was slightly startled in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and slowly lifted the red curtain of the sedan chair, there was an empty forest outside, and there was no woman with small feet, nor the person wearing white shoes before.

Could it be that there are other people in this mountain forest?

How can listening to a sound be a bit like a drum?

Could it be Zhu You?

He's not dead?

Lu Xuan's face turned a little pale, he thought of some bad possibilities, but he still looked up at the bottomless grotto in front of him, and walked in guarded.

If Zhu You hadn't died, and he had gone deep into the grotto now, if he encountered a small-footed woman again, the danger of this matter would probably be much higher than imagined.

Stepping on the soft dirt ground, the environment inside the grotto was basically the same as the last time he came, but it was late at night, and the cave above the grotto was covered by grass and trees, so the internal environment was extremely dark, and it was impossible to see the road ahead.

As a last resort, Lu Xuan had no choice but to light the fire.

After walking about 100 steps, Lu Xuan once again came to a fork in the road, this time he chose another path.

The originally moist dirt soil became drier and drier as he went deeper, and the withered yellow weeds on both sides of the road gradually became half a human high.

You must know that Lu Xuan and they wanted to hunt some game to fill their stomachs on the road, but they couldn't find it.

Are all the nearby creatures dissipated because of the cave gods?

Lu Xuan thought in his heart, and pressed the tension and urgency in his heart, he pushed away a pile of weeds that blocked his vision, and this time he saw no longer the corpses of animals, but rows of people in red wedding dresses.

They stood in the cave in their blood-red wedding robes.

Seeing that his appearance did not cause anything unusual, Lu Xuan took a few steps forward, and by the faint light of the fire, he found that these people in wedding dresses were men and women, most of them were covered with red hijabs, their skin was blue, their flesh and blood were still very full, and their hands were stacked on their abdomen, looking like they had just died.

Disgustingly, some of them did not wear red hijabs, their bodies were like dead trees, their skin was tightly wrinkled, and their eyes were bright and round like jewels set on them.

Not surprisingly, they were supposed to be sacrifices to the cave god during the ritual held in Taoyuan Village.

Lu Xuan raised his head slightly, behind them was a statue carved out of stone, saying that the idol was more like a monster, its body was twisted together like a long snake, but in the middle there was a hideous grimace, a pair of copper bell-like eyes, and a fierce look at the person in front of him.

After coming to the cave, to Qin Ying and Jiang Chuci's surprise, this cave was not only inhabited by the man in white, on the contrary, there was a firewood burning in the cave with a faint light, a middle-aged man in a blue cloth was sitting in the cave anxiously waiting, after seeing the man in white come back, he breathed a sigh of relief, handed the roasted venison to his hand, and asked: "What is the situation now, I see that you have been out for so long, and the sound outside is so loud, what is going on." ”

As soon as he finished asking, the middle-aged man saw that the two strangers who walked in with Shen Ning changed slightly and became serious again, sitting on the side and watching the two of them wait for the man in white to answer.

After the man in white took the rabbit meat, a faint smile appeared on his face, he tore off the rabbit meat and gave it to Jiang Chuci and Qin Ying, and then sat down beside the man and said, "These two cultivators I saved from the evil cultivators, don't worry." ”

After hearing Shen Ning's answer, Yang Jie was slightly relieved, and then spoke: "I originally thought that hiding in this deep mountain and old forest, three meals a day would become a big problem, but I didn't expect that your hunting methods are so clever, even the cooking methods are the same, this simple rabbit, after you make it, it can be said that the taste is extraordinary, it is more delicious than most of the cooks in Shenjing City, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely let the people in my house follow you to learn simply, In this way, you can also have a period of psychological comfort when you recall the events of this period of time in the future. ”

After hearing Yang Jie's words of praise, a faint smile appeared on Shen Ning's face, and he did not refuse Yang Jie, on the contrary, if he can really return Shenjing City to calm in the future, then his identity can also be shown in front of the world again, at that time, it is just to learn some recipes, what is so difficult about this, but all this must wait for the matter of Shenjing City to be over, and then he can make the next step.

And Qin Ying and Jiang Chuci, who had just come to the cave, listened to the conversation between the two, their brows furrowed slightly, and they began to analyze the current situation of the two people opposite, listening to each other's words, they were hiding in this mountain forest, that is to say, they were either chased and killed by someone, or they were arrested by the imperial court, but looking at the way the other party dealt with the evil cultivators, it should not be the group of people who opposed the imperial court, and it was very likely that they were also hunted down and killed by other forces.

Thinking of this, Qin Ying's brows furrowed slightly, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency's strength is so strong, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who will be your opponent, but why are you hiding in this deep mountain and old forest?" Is there any information in this? Of course, if it is not convenient for you to speak, you can also leave it alone. ”

It is indeed inconvenient to tell others what happened to Shen Ning, but after seeing Jiang Chuci, he couldn't help but fall into a burst of thought, the current Tsing Yi Division is already in charge of Ying Ji, and Zheng Yang, the original leader of the cultivators of the Tsing Yi Division, according to the information from Zi Fu Lingyue, seems to have been imprisoned by Ying Ji, and under normal circumstances, he will not be able to leave his mansion, and the Henan Provincial Town Guard will come to Shenjing City in a few days to re-assume the position of the leader of the Tsing Yi Division. And Jiang Feng, the town guard envoy of Henan Province, is a person valued by the emperor, and he can be said to be loyal to Emperor Jing, and it is precisely because of this reason that the town guard of Henan Province will definitely not listen to Ying Ji's instructions so easily, then in this case, the pursuit and killing suffered tonight is likely to come from Ying Ji's arrangement, so as long as Jiang Chuci can be controlled, it is equivalent to controlling which one in disguise, Jiang Feng, the town guard of Henan Province.
