The white fog came and went, and when Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye appeared in Niujiao Mountain again, it was pitch black in front of them, as if it was late at night, and there was rumbling thunder in their ears from time to time, and the ground under their feet trembled violently, as if the heavens and the earth were about to overturn at any time.

"Let's go!"

The two didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of Qingtan City.

Between the runs, there is not a huge boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain, with an irresistible force all the way over, the momentum is so great that even if it is a hundred warriors, once hit, he will be seriously injured. Fortunately, the two of them were lucky, and they came to the foot of the mountain without danger all the way.

Standing on an official road on the edge of Niujiao Mountain, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu rested in the bamboo forest next to the road for a while, and couldn't help but look up in the direction of Niujiao Mountain.

The earth split, and a huge crack began to spread from the foot of the mountain, all the way up the rock wall, as if to divide the entire mountain range into two halves, and in the crack, a pair of palms as black as thick ink stretched out, and the palms pressed against both sides of the crack, as if to tear the earth apart.

There was the sound of flying sand and rocks in his ears, and the apocalyptic scene in front of him that he had never seen before, his heart began to accelerate, and he kept beating, and a haze that could not be resolved shrouded in the hearts of the two.

With the appearance of the black giant palm, in the cracks, ghosts with distorted faces floated out, like black smoke, constantly drifting around.

Seeing that the crack is getting bigger and bigger, and the owner of the palm is about to come out of the ground, the seven golden rays of light break through the black clouds and smash on the earth, although it is dusk, the sunset has not set, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and the seven stars of shaking light are as bright as the moon, and the stars are brighter than the sunset on the horizon.

The starlight of the Big Dipper fell, reflecting on the top of the Niujiao Mountain, and in an instant, the whole mountain seemed to be in the endless starlight, and the ghosts that escaped from the cracks seemed to melt away from the winter snow and the warm sun, and let out an unwilling wail.

Bursts of fire appeared out of thin air, smashing towards the crack, these fireballs smashed on the black raised hand, and suddenly burst open, stirring up bursts of thick black mist, as if it couldn't bear the pain, and the owner of the black raised hand wailed unwillingly, and retracted into the crack with the palm of his hand.

The cracks began to close, and eventually they became one, as if nothing had happened except for the staggering trees and rocks on the mountain.

It was only at this point that the two came to their senses.

Although it is not known what happened, the owner of the black giant hand did not escape from Oxhorn Mountain, which is a good thing for both of them.

"Ah Xing, give me a hand. Oops! Wang Ye's body weakened, and he shouted at Zhou Xingyu. Not only was he frightened by the movement just now, in order to save Zhou Xingyu before, he forcibly endured the injuries on his body and returned to the corpse puppet army, and he himself suffered a lot of injuries.

Before, because he had been nervous, he didn't feel anything, but now he suddenly relaxed, his body reacted, and bursts of sharp pain came from all over his body, Wang Ye only felt that his body hurt everywhere.

Because of Aoki Jue, Zhou Xingyu's condition is much better, although he is also seriously injured, but at this moment, the injuries in his body have recovered a little, although he doesn't want to fight with people, but there is no problem walking like an ordinary person.

Looking at Wang Ye, whose body was weak and pale, Zhou Xingyu stretched out his hand, held the other party, and then put Wang Ye's shoulder on his shoulder, and just like that, the two supported each other and slowly walked towards Qingtan City in the distance.

When the two of them came to Qingtan City, they saw that there was still a crowd of people before, except for the two sergeants guarding the door with knives, it was empty, there were withered yellow thatchs scattered on the ground on the street, and there were many scattered furniture and papers around.

Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu glanced at each other, staggered towards the city gate, and soon came to the city gate.

Seeing that the two were about to enter the city, the sergeant watching was instantly alert, stretched out his hand to stop the two, and said: "Who are you, Qingtan City has been banned, and you are not allowed to enter and leave without permission unless there is an order!" ”

If they hadn't seen the long swords on the waists of the two of them, they would have driven people straight away.

Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu glanced at each other, and then asked: "Our senior brothers were invited by a friend to come to Qingtan City to do business, this eldest brother, I don't know what happened in the city, why was it banned." ”

As he spoke, Wang Ye reached out and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, secretly stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and whispered: "This is a little bit of heart, the two eldest brothers have worked hard to guard the city gate, so they should be invited to drink tea for the two of them." ”

The soldier silently weighed the broken silver handed over by Wang Ye, "It's quite heavy!" He couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he glanced at his companions, and then whispered: "I heard that there was a big change on the side of Niujiao Mountain, and even alarmed the emperor, and sent the officials of Qin Tianjian to investigate, a few days ago, there was an order to evacuate the people of Qingfeng and Qingtan City, if you are looking for friends, it is better to go to Jinyang City, they should be there." ”

Wang Ye deliberately showed a dumb look on his face, and said: "What happened to make His Royal Highness the Emperor send all the people from Qin Tianjian out, I don't know who came this time?" ”

Hearing Wang Ye's question, the soldier couldn't help but regret a little, he knew that he wouldn't accept the other party's silver.

However, since the number of people is short, it is not easy for the other party not to say it, so he had to mutter: "It is said that the masters from all the states are here, and I don't know what happened to me." ”

Just when Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu wanted to continue to ask, a middle-aged man walked in the distance.

After seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but speak: "Wang Shaoxia, Zhou Shaoxia, why are you here?" ”

Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu looked up, and were instantly stunned on the spot, didn't they say that everyone in the city had evacuated? Why is Li Mubai's father still here?

Obviously, not only the two of them saw the head of the Li family, but also the soldiers guarding the city, looking at the middle-aged man who was only a few steps away, the two hurriedly laughed and said, "Master Li, why are you here?" ”

The head of the Li family nodded to the two of them in a flat tone, and said, "These are my two juniors, they are here to find me, it's no problem for me to take them in, right?" ”

Hearing the words of the head of the Li family, the man who received Wang Ye's silver hurriedly nodded and said, "Since it is the younger generation of Master Li, it is our people from Qingtan City, so naturally there is no problem, the two of you just have to enter the city." ”

After speaking, he took out the broken silver handed to him by Wang Ye from his arms painfully, and said respectfully to Wang Ye: "I didn't know that this little brother was a distinguished guest of the Li family before, but I was clumsy before, and I would never dare to accept this silver." ”

Wang Ye didn't stretch out his hand to take the silver, shook his head, and said, "This bit of silver should be regarded as tea money for the two of you." ”

After speaking, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu walked quickly beside the Li family master, who directly took out a silver ingot from his arms, threw it to the two, and said, "You have worked hard to guard the city gate, this is for you." ”

Those who hurriedly took the silver, felt the weight of the silver ingots in their hands, and immediately smiled, and said, "Thank you Master Li for the reward, you are good to go!" ”

When the two of them walked away, the other soldier said with a look of embarrassment: "Cousin, is it okay for us to let them in like this?" After all, there was an order from above that no outsiders could enter the city. ”

The soldier who received the silver from Wang Ye and the head of the Li family, put the silver in his arms, looked at the cousin in front of him, and said with hatred: "Are you stupid or not!" That's the head of the Li family, usually the city lord has to be polite when he sees it, and the existence of the junior courtesy, for this little thing to offend the other party, do you still want to get mixed up in Qingtan City. ”

"Besides, with this silver, even if it is discovered in the future, the big deal is to be dismissed, how much silver does it cost a month to be a soldier guarding the gate, one or two dollars?"

"In the future, you will follow my brother honestly, don't worry, I won't let you do this kind of thing, if you collect the money, my brother and I will never treat you badly, I will definitely have a share of you."

Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu didn't care about what happened behind them, but followed closely behind the head of the Li family.

"Master Li, I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that the people of Qingfeng and Qingtan have evacuated, why are you still here?" Wang Ye asked softly.

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, his sideburns turned white, his eyes were red, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Hey, after the two young heroes left that day, it didn't take long for someone to come to the Li Mansion, saying that they were friends of the two young heroes and were invited by the two of them. ”

"At that time, you didn't come back, since the other party is friends of the two, I will tell the truth, who knows that since then, something has happened on the side of Niujiao Mountain."

Li Mubai's father told the story, and the two also listened to it.

After they left the Li family, according to the agreement, they would only explore the side of Niujiao Mountain, and would not go deeper, but who knew that something happened later, and the two entered that hidden place.

Jiazi came to find the two as agreed, but was told by the head of the Li family that the two did not come back after entering Niujiao Mountain.

Later, Jiazi guessed that the situation was serious, so he notified the Qin Tianjian headquarters of the matter, and the elite was decisively sent to investigate.

After that, the other side of Oxhorn Mountain began to change.

At first, dark clouds covered the top of the mountain every night, but gradually the fog grew thicker and thicker, encircling the entire mountain, and finally thick clouds could be seen even during the day.

Qin Tianjian's side also found out that something was wrong, and in order to avoid fearless casualties, he contacted the state city and began to evacuate the people of Qingfeng and Qingtan near Niujiao Mountain.

The reason why the Li family stayed was because there were too many people from the government, and the incident happened suddenly, and the government had no time to mobilize grain and grass, and the Li family needed to provide logistical supplies. So after a period of careful consideration, Li Mubai's father decided to stay and preside over the overall situation, while Li Mubai and other younger generations of the family left to preserve the strength of the family.
