"On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head ......"

Even in the first month, Xia Zhicicada and the others did not stop their steps, and the originally sturdy horses lost weight.

I have been on the road until today, the second day of February.

Nan Er sat on the back of the horse a little bored, he held a slightly blue tender blade of grass in his mouth, and his eyes were looking at the road around him.

Xia Zhician walked in front, holding the newly bought map in his hand, constantly looking at the rough road traces on it, as well as the Zhendian markings on the map that he didn't know if it was true or false.

He frowned, the map in his hand was like a child's graffiti, and in some places the roads were simply wrong.

But there is no way, maps have always been a precious thing. This is because they are in the hinterland of Daqi that they can buy this kind of half-truth map. If you are in the war zone in the north, you will be convicted and imprisoned if you dare to buy and sell maps.

After watching it for a long time, Xia Zhician didn't know where the two of them had arrived now, so he could only walk slowly along the path in front of him.

"I passed by Luling City before, why don't we go into the city and choose a detour?"

Nan Er looked at his best friend who was hurrying with his head bowed in front of him, and asked casually if he had nothing to say. Although Xia Zhicicada will know the ancestral "Tianchen Fall" of the Bai family in Luling, this does not mean that the other party has anything to do with the Bai family.

"I've been to Luling City......"

Xia Zhician looked at the map, looked up at the scenery in front of him, judged where he was according to the terrain, and replied casually when he heard Nan Er's question.

"But I haven't been! The Luling Bai family is a well-known family in the rivers and lakes, even if you don't fight with them, just looking at the Bai family's sword moves is not in vain......"

Nan Er knew that Xia Zhicicada was not without a purpose, although he didn't know what he was looking for, but it must be something very important.

"There is nothing I am looking for in Luling City, and besides, the sword moves of the Bai family are also average, if you want to see it, I can show you the dance."

Xia Zhician put away the map, and he finally saw the forks marked on the map, one road was the direction of the mountain, and the other road was going down.

He adjusted the reins in his hand, and let the horse go down the hill in obedience.

"The Bai family's sword moves are average? If you say this in Luling City, eighty percent of them will be beaten to death. ”

Nan Er rolled his eyes, he looked at the way up the mountain, and he was still a little happy in his heart. As long as he and Xia Zhician go up to the mountain to stay overnight, eighty or ninety percent of them will encounter demons and monsters, and if they are in a mountain town or village, the chance will be a little smaller.

It's not that he's afraid of encountering ghosts, but because the demons and monsters travel at night, they often can't sleep all night and are mentally devastated.

"How long are we going to have to look?"

Xia Zhician didn't answer, because he didn't know the answer either.

But now he has obtained six of the eight fragments of the golden jade head, one in the belly of the black cat, one left behind after the death of the White Bone Lady, one given by the Zhao family, one given by the dragon corpse, one in the mouth of the white-haired zombie, and finally one in his own hand.

Only the last two pieces are left to intersect.

"White-Haired Zombie ......"

Xia Zhician let the horse run, but muttered to himself that this fragment of the white-haired zombie in the broken temple was too strange, in other words, it was too simple.

The monsters I met before, like the White Bone Lady or the Black Cat, had already refined the fragments into their bodies, and they could only be taken out by special methods.

But the white-haired zombie in the temple before was different, although he bit the fragment of the golden jade human head in his mouth, he didn't absorb much of the evil qi in the fragment, as if he had just gotten it.

"It feels like you've been calculated."

Xia Zhician shook his robe, there were six pieces hidden in it, which was a great temptation for those who were not right-minded or other demons and monsters.

I remember that when I met the dragon corpse before, the other party once said that he had seen other people looking for the fragments of the golden jade human head, although he didn't know the origin of the other party, but since he was looking for the golden jade human head, he would meet Xia Zhicicada sooner or later.

I hope that the other party is also collecting gold and jade heads out of kindness, in order not to let it cause trouble to the world. It's not to take advantage of the evil golden jade human head to do something terrible.

"Xia Zhicicada, hey! You wait. ”

Huh——Holding the reins in his hand, Xia Zhician looked back at Nan Er, who shouted at him, who urged the horse to take two steps and came to his side.

"What are you going to do? I can tell you, if we delay any longer, we may be sleeping in the wild again. ”

"I ...... I went to the convenience and couldn't hold it back. ”

Nan Er turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Xia Zhicicada casually, and then rushed into the mountains and forests on the side without looking back.

Xia Zhician could only shake his head helplessly, and then also turned over and dismounted to rest. After a long time of horseback riding, the saddle and thighs rub against each other, and part of the blood is blocked, making people feel numb and itchy.

……

Nan Er didn't know if he drank too much wine, or if he simply wanted to find an excuse to get off the horse and rest, but he was in a hurry and went into the mountains and forests.

He walked several steps in a row, found a tall tree, unbuckled his belt in the shadow of the tree, and prepared to release the water.

As the saying goes, if you pee and don't look up, there are thatched buildings everywhere.

Don't look around when you release the water, if you are seen, you will think you are playing hooligan, but Nan Er has this bad problem.

Maybe it was because the empty mountains and forests gave him an uncomfortable feeling, so he could only keep scanning the surroundings, for fear of meeting tigers and wolves in the mountains and forests at the most inconvenient time for him.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Nan Eryi shivered and almost washed his hands.

He didn't tremble because he was done, but he was suddenly frightened by the sound of a whimper that shouldn't have been in the forest.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound was very close, but Nan Er couldn't see anyone when he looked around. He hurriedly solved his internal urgency, then tied his belt, wiped his hands, and tightened the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Wouldn't you, you can meet a ghost even if you pee?"

Nan Er glanced back at the direction he came from, he may have been too anxious when he walked into the mountains and forests, and trotted in all the way, so now he can't see Xia Zhicicada standing on the side of the road.

"I can't count on him, I have to rely on myself for everything."

Nan Er took a breath and slowly took the knife out of its sheath.

Airplanes......

The knife trembled and made a slight sound, which was especially noticeable in the silence and desert of the surrounding mountains and forests. This knife has been following Nan Er for too long, and after going through all kinds of things, there has been a qualitative change, and the knife is no longer a dead thing, but a living spirit.

So every time Nan Er takes out the knife, it will automatically chirp

"Woo woo woo ......"

The whimpering was still there, and it seemed to be very close. Nanji looked around, furrowed his eyebrows, and walked very lightly.

His figure began with the marked tree, circled in a semicircle, and then he saw the white-clothed figure making a whimpering sound.

"Hey, you're ......"

Nan Er didn't say a word, and the other party took the first step.

The man in white stepped on a few stones, leaned his back against the tree, and tied a thin strip of cloth on the thick branches, with a dead knot tied at the bottom.

Needless to say, this look is ready to hang.

The man stood on the stone, clutching the dead knot of the cloth with both hands, whimpering as tears rained down on the other. Obviously a full-grown man with sound limbs, but he cried like a child.

As soon as the other party saw Nan Er, he was shocked and hung the strip of cloth on his neck on his neck, and hung himself on the branch with a kick.

"Woo......"

I don't know if it's a whimper, or if it's a painful sound from hanging too badly.

In short, the man in white was shaking his hands and feet wildly, and he let out a whimper of unknown meaning.

"Why can't you think about it so much, people can't be resurrected after death, why is a good big man looking for death and life......"

Nanji looked at the man who kept struggling, and the long knife in his hand shook.

With the hiss of a breaking wind, the branch above the man in white made a violent cracking sound, and then he saw the man in white squatting on the ground.

The falling branch hit him right on the head, making him cover his head with one hand and hold his ass with the other, and he couldn't stop wailing in his mouth.

"I'm so unlucky, oops, it really hurts me. Why are you stepping on a horse to save me, it's better to let me die, and death will be a hundred. ”

"You ......"

Nan Er frowned, how could this person be saved and blame himself for being a life-saving benefactor, it was really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he didn't know the hearts of good people.

He took a step forward, and the man in white, who was still squatting on the ground and screaming in pain, hurriedly took several steps back, his back pressed against the trunk of the tree.

"Uh, this bandit good man mountain king, I just said the wrong thing, don't mind, don't mind."

The attitude of the man in white changed so much that Nan Er was a little confused, how could the other party be like taking the wrong medicine, he wouldn't be a madman.

Nan Erzheng was puzzled, and suddenly saw the long knife in his hand, and then suddenly realized that the other party regarded himself as a robber bandit, so he hurriedly put the knife into the sheath.

"Don't get me wrong, brother, I'm not that kind of business. I just heard a whimper by chance, so I came over and had a look. ”

"Oh......"

The man in white only cared about seeing the bright long knife just now, and it wasn't until Nan Er put away the knife that he had time to observe him, looked up and down, and found that Nan Er didn't look like a bandit in the mountains and forests, but like a chivalrous man who walked the rivers and lakes, and his heart was a lot more stable.

"This young man, thank you for saving me. I'm in the house of Mulberry Town, my surname is Bai, and I am the second in the family, so you can call me Bai Erlang. ”

Bai Erlang reported his name, he first touched the top of his head, found that it was already swollen with a big bag, and then rubbed his neck that was strangled red.

"Why do you want to die?"

"Whoever wants to die, I am ......"

Bai Erlang glanced at Nan Er, and continued a little embarrassed:

"You suddenly appeared, still with a knife in your hand. I was startled, and I slipped and hung up. ”
