Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight

The rumors in Galloping Horse County are not exaggerated.

After two days, it almost gradually subsided.

And in the past two days, Jiang Ran has always stayed on Ma Ye's side.

After thinking about it for several days, Ghost Thirteen finally decided to join forces with Li Tianxin Jiang Ran.

It's just that now I have nothing to do, so I can only stay in my room every day and wait for the opportunity.

Ma Ye investigated the news of the person who met the old drunkard that day, but there has been no progress.

Not only him, but even perennial, has not found any clues.

This made Jiang Ran feel a little strange.

Judging from the characteristics of that person, if someone encounters it, it should not be without the slightest impression.

However, with Ma Ye and the perennial black and white ability, he couldn't find the slightest clue, or there was no such person at all.

Or, this person's ability is much greater than he imagined.

However, although there is no news about the investigation of this person, another thing that Zuo Daozhuang has asked to investigate all year round has gone smoothly and is somewhat extraordinary.

This is even more puzzling.

You must know that after 20 years, the so-called clues are just a knife man with a child passing by this Benma County.

Borrow human milk and feed the child.

In the past 20 years, this little thing, in which direction should we investigate?

But after checking it, there was already news.

After two days, it has been found out that this family moved out of Benma County three months ago.

Now it is ten miles outside Benma County, a place called 'Ask Xianglin' to settle down.

"The marks are too obvious."

In the county office, in the perennial room, Jiang Ran said thoughtfully:

"However, Master Chang, if it is your position that has changed, and the traces are not obvious, is it possible that someone is plotting behind it, in fact, you don't care, right?"

Perennial smile:

"That's right, not only do I not care, but I also make a pretty difficult situation.

"Delay it for two more days before informing the other party of this matter.

"Lest they find out that this matter is so easy to investigate."

In this way, the reason why the people behind them dare to put clues so boldly and recklessly is that they have calculated the mentality of adults.

"It's just that he is also accurate, the people from Zuo Daozhuang will come......"

Jiang Ran sighed softly:

"What's more, he deliberately leaked his whereabouts."

The person behind this is an old drunkard, right?

What was his purpose?

Is it simply to deal with Zuo Daozhuang?

That's not right...... Twenty years ago, he was able to penetrate the entire Zuo Daozhuang with his own strength and snatch the autumn moon cicada.

If you want to deal with them, why bother?

Otherwise, could it be that something has happened to him in the past 20 years? Martial arts are not as good as before?

So I haven't seen it for 20 years, he is so deeply hidden?

But if that's the case, why should he leak the traces, the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, the intention of this move can't be explained.

After thinking about the old drunkard's intentions for a while, he found out what this old thing thought, and judging from what he knew now, he really couldn't guess.

Just stop thinking nonsense.

Instead, I inquired about another thing with Chang Nian.

"Do you know what sinister places are near Benma County?"

"Sinister Place?"

Perennial thought carefully for a while and said:

"Not without it...... To the north of Benma County, about less than twenty miles away, there is a valley.

"There is a miasma in the valley all year round, and people and animals who strayed into it would fall to the ground and die in it.

"The place is called the 'Valley of the Dead' by the locals, and it's very unknown.

"In addition, there are several villages left behind after the war disaster.

"There will only be ruins left in this meeting, and I heard that many people have strayed in the middle of the night and are trapped inside, as if there are ghosts hitting the wall......

"But whether this is true or not, it's hard to say, I say it, I listen to it.

"There is another place, which is 'Yinlong Slope'.

"There are often disappearances in that place, obviously it is just a dirt slope, and you can see the head at a glance, but when you hit the person who passed by, you said no.

"The previous county magistrate went to investigate in person, and what he found was not a case file, and the official does not know.

"But after that, Yinlongpo was forbidden to set foot on it.

"If you want to talk about sinister places, these are probably the three places."

Jiang Ran was a little surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart that this Benma County is not big, but it is full of crises.

After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded:

"Thank you Lord Chang, well, about asking Xianglin, my lord will press it down first, don't talk to Zuo Daozhuang's side.

"But in two days at most, I'll give you an explanation."

"Okay."

Chang Nian nodded: "Then it will bother Jiang Shaoxia." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious."

Jiang Ran stood up and clenched his fists in farewell.

In the next two days, Jiang Ran did not continue to enjoy Qingfu at Ma Ye's.

He ran for two days in a row, leaving early and returning late.

Li Tianxin and Ghost Thirteen watched him go in and out every day, but they didn't know what he was busy with.

When I asked him, he said that the time had not come.

The two angry people wanted to join forces and press him there to torture him to extract a confession.

The only thing I was worried about was that I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat it, so I would let Jiang Ran clean it up when I turned around.

In the past two days, it has been another flick of a finger.

On the morning of the third day, in the inn, Liu Wenshan, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes.

At this moment, there are already a lot of people gathered in the inn.

Tong Wanli's group of friends has arrived.

After Liu Wenshan woke up, he first thanked Tong Wanli for his kindness, and then hugged Mingyue and cried bitterly.

After eating and drinking some things at the end, Tong Wanli began to inquire about Jiao Weiqin's whereabouts.

It is said that now Jiaoweiqin has become the target of public criticism, and if you can't find it, you won't be at peace for a day.

Liu Wenshan struggled for a long time, then sighed and gave a reply:

"I'll take you."

Ye Jingshuang's heart tightened when she heard this, and she wanted to send a message to Jiang Ran.

However, since she called this Benma County, she has been in the inn and has not been to other places.

If you want to find Jiang Ran, you don't know where he is now.

can only be down-to-earth.

After all, Jiang Ran withdrew himself from this bright place in order to act in secret.

Thinking about the situation inside the inn, he must know it.

followed everyone to pack up, found a soft sedan chair and carried Liu Wenshan out of the door.

After going out, the group headed north.

While walking, Liu Wenshan said:

"The location of Jiao Weiqin is more dangerous, among the people who accompany the child brother, can there be anyone who is proficient in medical skills?"

"Yes."

Tong Wanli nodded:

"Brother Liu, rest assured, the masters we have gathered here now are everywhere in the world."

After Ye Jingshuang heard this, his eyes also turned around the people around him.

Now gathered around, plus her, Tong Wanli, Tong Yan Zhouwang, and Liu Wenshan...... There were thirteen people in total.

That's not a lot of people.

And these people, Ye Jingshuang has never heard of them.

asked Tong Wanli, Tong Wanli smiled and said that these people are some masters who do not go out of the rivers and lakes.

Yu is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, and he only became attached to him by accident.

Ye Jingshuang doesn't know, it's common sense.

Ye Jingshuang still wanted to ask, but Tong Wanli didn't want to say anything more.

In addition, there is a Tong Yan behind him...... I didn't have a chance to ask again.

Tong Yan has basically recovered after this period of cultivation.

Every day, he followed Ye Jingshuang's follow.

One sister in one mouth, comforting her not to be sad because of the rumors and rumors of the outside world.

The tone is sincere and moving.

If it weren't for Ye Jingshuang's understanding of the truth here, I'm afraid that she would really be moved by this.

But now, she just wants to draw her sword and kill people.

Especially now, when she hears Tong Yan call her sister, she feels a kind of indescribable nausea and discomfort.

Forced to tell himself that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

I barely did it.

The group walked and stopped, and it didn't take long for them to walk more than ten miles.

Liu Wenshan pointed out the path all the way, sometimes stopping, sometimes repeating.

After walking a few more miles, everyone already felt the ground under their feet gradually spreading downward.

There was a little fog around him.

As the footsteps deepened, the fog became thicker and thicker.

Gradually reach out and don't see the five fingers.

"What is this place?"

Tong Wanli couldn't help frowning when he looked at the fog.

"This is the Valley of the Dead."

Liu Wenshan said softly:

"There is a fog here, and there is a miasma and a lot of sinister before that.

"I was with ...... Ye Konggu is to hide Jiaoweiqin here, there is this day of danger, you can protect Jiaowei worry-free. ”

Tong Wanli thought carefully for a moment and nodded:

"It's a great place indeed."

"Place is good."

Liu Wenshan smiled:

"It's just that this place is too dangerous, so you should be careful."

As he spoke, he shouted again:

"Frost."

"Uncle."

Ye Jingshuang hurriedly came to him.

Liu Wenshan said with a smile:

"Frost, just follow me."

"Okay."

Ye Jingshuang nodded: "I will definitely protect my uncle." ”

"Good boy ......"

Before he finished speaking, Tong Yan also came up:

"I will also take good care of my aunt...... Uncle Liu's. ”

Liu Wenshan glanced at him, smiled and nodded.

This move seemed to give Tong Yan a great encouragement, and he was in high spirits for a while.

Tong Wanli frowned, always feeling as if something was wrong.

But for a while, I couldn't think of it.

Immediately, some antidote drugs were dispensed, and then continued inside.

The so-called miasma is actually not mysterious.

In addition to some specific diseases, the condensation of poisonous gases after the decay of dead leaves of animals and trees in the mountains and forests is the so-called miasma.

Everyone took the anti-poison pill and continued to move forward.

Ye Jingshuang also wanted to take the detoxification pill given by Tong Wanli, but Liu Wenshan dragged her sleeve and stuffed another pill in her hand.

This made Ye Jingshuang's pupils shrink suddenly.

Liu Wenshan didn't let himself take Tong Wanli's medicine...... Does this mean that Liu Wenshan doesn't trust Tong Wanli!?

Thinking of this, her mind has already begun to gradually come alive.

But here and now, she couldn't afford to think more, and after secretly stuffing the antidote pill into her mouth, she continued to hurry.

Suddenly, Tong Wanli snorted softly:

"Stay!"

Everyone stopped hearing this, and Tong Wanli frowned: "Do you hear any sounds nearby?" ”

The group looked at me, I looked at you, and one of them chuckled and said:

"Lao Tong, this realm is certainly sinister, and you are so suspicious and suspicious, which is even more terrifying.

"People are scary and scared to death, you don't have to bluff."

Tong Wanli was silent for a moment, and stretched out his hand to point:

"Look, is there a shadow over there?"

The fog in this place is better than outside, although it is not very visible, but the people standing next to it will not be unable to see clearly.

Everyone followed Tong Wanli's finger to look.

It's a little creepy for a while.

I saw a figure of Zhanger, standing tall in front of a tree.

The shadow is not real, but it really looks like a burly person.

It's just that the location of this person is not far from them.

But when they came here, they didn't even notice it.

Once this man makes a sneak attack...... How many of them can resist?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, and heard a cold snort:

"People who pretend to be ghosts dare to run rampant in front of me!?"

His voice fell, and his figure faded away.

It was like a shadow floating in the forest, and it was like darkness in the fog, but with a thought, he had already arrived in front of the figure.

None of the people present stopped the man's deeds.

As a result, when the man arrived, he said 'huh'.

followed and returned with the huge figure.

At this moment, everyone present was refreshed, but they were afraid that this mysterious person restrained his companions and was questioned by others.

But when these two shadows arrived, everyone saw it clearly.

So where is what kind of burly person?

It's a rotting bear!

Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

It's not uncommon for this bear to die here...... After all, there is a miasma of poisonous gas all around.

But the question is, how does it die like an individual?

Tong Wanli endured the stench emitted by this bear, and came to take a closer look, and suddenly his pupils contracted suddenly:

"That's not right! It was not harmed by this miasma, it was killed!

And in between.

"Look at its throat!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately went to look at it, and sure enough, they saw that there was a thin mark on the throat of this bear.

"Is it a knife mark?"

If it's a sword, it's mostly through.

The sword stabs, and the sword slashes.

The blade of the sword is slender and slashing, and if it is used for slashing, it is very likely to damage the blade.

This bear, in particular, has rough skin and thick flesh, and I am afraid that no one will be willing to cut its neck like this with a sword.

And when this thought came to mind, Tong Wanli's uneasiness had reached the extreme.

"There's someone here!"

The moment the thought of these four words flashed in my heart, I listened to the brush, brush, and the sound of footsteps came one after another.

At the same time, there was a whistling sound in the air.

It was as if something huge was coming through the void.

Then a voice shouted:

"There are uninvited guests, and eighty percent of them are also here for that thing!!"

Tong Wanli's hairs stood up when he heard this, and the first thought that came to his heart was...... They're here to grab the scorched tail!?

But the problem is that I got the news from Liu Wenshankou.

How did these people know that Jiao Weiqin was hiding here?

Without waiting for him to react, he heard a dull sound of breaking the sky, and when he looked up, he saw a golden tripod pressing the air and smashing it down.

Tong Wanli was stunned:

"Jin Sanding?"

However, at this moment, I don't care about other thoughts.

The two palms together, the ever-changing Tianluo palm was suddenly sent out, and a muffled sound was heard.

The golden tripod trembled, and the wolf howl of the golden tripod came from inside.

Tong Wanli's face also sank, Jin Sanding's martial arts thief was going to die, and his internal strength was strong, and he also added the weight of a tripod.

Reaching out and taking it hard is really a desperate move.

At this time, he was smashed by this huge force, and although his feet did not move, the whole person was pushed by this huge force and kept retreating.

The surrounding sides were vibrated by this internal force, and the sound of shocking explosions was heard endlessly for a while.

At the same time, a group of strangely dressed people around them also rushed forward, and they couldn't help but say that they were directly killed.

Tong Yan and Zhou Wang looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Ye Jingshuang held a long sword and protected Liu Wenshan.

The rest of the group looked at each other and laughed:

"A bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die!!"

Immediately, they jumped up and killed into the crowd.

The martial arts of these people, each of them is not below Tong Wanli.

Everywhere we passed, there was hardly a single enemy.

These people brought by Jin Sanding have already killed and injured more than half of them in the blink of an eye.

Ye Jingshuang's face changed greatly.

Where did Tong Wanli find so many masters?

Just as she was ignoring it, a figure touched her side at some point.

By the time she realized it, her shoulders had been grabbed.

As soon as my heart tightened, I felt that the whole person was already soaring through the clouds.

Tong Yan and Zhou Wang noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that Ye Jingshuang and Liu Wenshan had disappeared.

Ye Jingshuang only felt that the shade of the trees around him had changed, and when his body settled, he stopped on a stone not far away.

From a distance, figures can be faintly seen rolling and fighting in the fog.

But the specifics are not clear.

Her shoulders shook, her breath turning, trying to break free.

But before she could open the man's palm with internal force, the man had already let go of his hand first.

"The battle between the snipe and the clam has been completed, and the next thing is for the fisherman to profit."

Liu Wenshan's voice reached Ye Jingshuang's ears at this time.

caused Ye Jingshuang's eyes to widen.

Sandpiper clam fighting?

Could it be ......

The next moment, she heard a familiar voice in her bones and smiled:

"Thanks to the help of my seniors.

"Otherwise, it's not as easy as trying to attract them all."

“…… Brother Jiang? ”

Ye Jingshuang turned his head to look.

As a result, I saw a young man dressed in colorful clothes who could hardly see his original appearance, carrying a wine gourd, tilting his neck and pouring it into his mouth.

Hearing Ye Jingshuang's voice, he glanced back at the girl, and smiled and gave his wine gourd:

"Take a bite?"
