Chapter 227: Up the Mountain
South Town.
It is located at the foot of the mountain on the east side of the Nine Immortals Mountain.
The mountain village is surrounded by green mountains, the mountain peaks are towering, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and it has the reputation of "the first village of Penglai in the Middle Earth", and it happens to surround the Jiuxian Mountain in a triangular shape with Chishui Town and National Treasure Town.
A dirt road under construction, muddy, wet and slippery after the rain, the car carefully bumped on the dirt road for nearly an hour before driving into the southern town.
Wu Luoyang reached out and lowered the window.
While breathing in the fresh air, the strong feeling of nausea is suppressed.
While looking at this small mountain town hidden deep in the mountains.
The mountain streams are babbling, and the houses in the mountain villages are mostly traditional civil structures, which are simple and elegant. The walls and roof of the house are covered with moss and vines, blending in with the surrounding nature.
The car drove some way forward and came directly to the town office.
Wu Luoyang inquired with the old man in the parking lot, asked where the mayor's office of Nancheng City was, and went with Du Surui and Wen Qiqi.
The people who received them heard that they were coming to find the mayor of the town, or the people from the Xuanyi Hall of Thorn Tong City, and hurriedly led Wu Luoyang and Du Surui to the reception room to wait for a while.
A few minutes later.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway.
A figure wearing a black tunic appeared at the door, similar to the figure he saw at the door of Xuanyi Hall last night, Wu Luoyang took a step forward and introduced himself first.
"The Thunder Master has informed me in the morning, so sit down."
The mayor of Nancheng held out his hand to them and made a gesture inviting them to take a seat.
After boiling water to make tea, the mayor of Nancheng looked at the three young people with a little more color in his eyes, as the saying goes, "there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm", obviously he is still a little worried about them.
"Then I'll have someone take you to the construction site?"
"Okay."
Nancheng Changming didn't say anything on his face, but still asked people to take them to take a turn on the mountain road of the recently started Tongcun project.
The southern town center is not large, only about a kilometer in diameter, and a few people walk through the narrow and winding streets of the mountain village, lined with old houses and stone walls. The streets are paved with bluestone slabs, smooth and smooth, looking quaint and beautiful.
Ten minutes later, Wu Luoyang and Du Surui came to the end of the street, where a new dirt road was opened to the other side of the deep mountain, and the leader pointed to the destination.
Because of the rain these days, there was no one on the construction site.
The group continued on their way.
Du Surui held the jade compass in his hand and looked at it as he walked. The road in this place is built along the mountain in the shape of a crescent, surrounding the villages and houses on the side, such a road is the best feng shui, called the jade belt around the waist, the main prosperity.
Wu Luoyang secretly observed the dense woods on both sides of the mountain.
Yesterday, the mayor of Nancheng Town said to Master Wu Leiting that there were wolves coming down from the mountains at night to disturb the people, and since it was a wolf pack, it would naturally leave clues.
The man who led the way and Du Su Rui continued to walk forward, looking and talking.
Wu Luoyang, who was following behind, glanced at something out of the corner of his eye, looked at the patches of miscanthus grass lying on the ground on the side of the road, turned the direction of his steps, and walked over.
The messy footprints with yellow mud emitted a trace of black aura.
Wu Luoyang tapped his sword finger and launched a perception technique, these were left by the wolves.
Half an hour later.
The group returned to the mayor's office.
Du Suri told the mayor about the actual situation, and the repair of this road will not affect the local feng shui pattern, let alone cause trouble for the village.
"If that's the case, then how can we explain the frequent attacks of wolves after this construction?"
The mayor of Nancheng frowned.
Faced with the mayor's question, Du Surui didn't know how to answer, he turned his head sideways and looked at Wu Luoyang, who had been silent for a long time.
"Mayor Mare, I wonder if you've had any strange dreams lately?"
"For example, someone asked you to help find someone."
Wu Luoyang carefully looked at the mayor of Nancheng on the opposite side, and the official authority of Yin Tang couldn't suppress the faint black mist, and it was obvious that he was entangled by something.
Hearing her ask, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the mayor of Nancheng.
He did have a dream the other day.
Moreover, as Wu Luoyang said, a person who couldn't see clearly in the dream asked him to go to Thorn Tong City to find a woman with a heavenly body.
These days and nights are the same nightmare, the mayor of Nancheng is afraid that the disaster will happen to him, and he learned that the mayor of Chishui Town had some friendship with Xuanyitang, so he asked for the address, and yesterday he hurriedly went to Xuanyitang to find Wu Leiting for himself and asked for a peace talisman to protect himself.
Not to mention.
Since he came out of the door of Xuanyi Hall yesterday, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Mayor Nancheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
At this time, hearing Wu Luoyang's mention, the mayor of Nancheng was secretly surprised in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, he still told the truth: "I won't tell you, I did have a strange dream recently. ”
"Who did the other party ask you to find?"
"A girl."
"A girl, the body of the clouds?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's the body of the heavenly yin! ”
Wu Luoyang asked a few more questions, and the mayor of Nancheng replied a few more words, and the ins and outs of the matter were also clarified.
Sure enough, it was Xingsha who fell into a dream, and asked the mayor of Nancheng to find the body of Tianyin.
Wen Qiqi lowered his head.
Looking at the black rope on his wrist, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that the rope is unconsciously shrinking, and there is a faint tingling sensation on my skin.
Obviously, Mayor Nancheng can't untie this deadly black rope.
Leave from the mayor's office.
Wu Luoyang and Du Surui came back to rest at the homestay they booked.
According to the mayor of Nancheng, the wolves all come down at night, and all they have to do now is to recharge their batteries and wait for night to fall.
At lunchtime, Wen Qiqi obviously didn't have much appetite.
After staring at her wrist for a long time, she stared at Wu Luoyang's side face and asked melancholy: "So, this black rope in my hand can't be untied?" ”
"Yes."
Wu Luoyang returned.
Wen Qiqi's eyes lit up and he stretched his neck over.
Wu Luoyang gave Wen Qiqi a chopstick dish, and said, "Accept the Xingsha, the knot in your hand will naturally break on its own." ”
Wen Qiqi: ......
Seeing Wen Qiqi's crying face, Wu Luoyang raised his hand, landed on her shoulder, and gently patted it for comfort.
"Eat with confidence, you won't be able to die for a while."
Wen Qiqi: ......
After lunch, the three of them returned to their rooms.
Wu Luoyang sat cross-legged and launched a reconnaissance technique on the mountains and forests near Nancheng Town, looking for their traces with the wolf breath collected in the morning.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
Du Su Rui leaned over and asked, "Did you find it?" ”
Wu Luoyang nodded.
During the day, the wolves are entrenched and hidden in the cliffs and deep forests of the Nine Immortals Mountain, there is no way to take them, and if you want to deal with the wolves, you can only wait, and at night when the wolves go down the mountain, they will be intercepted on the mountain and not enter the village, so that they will have the opportunity to kill the leading wolf king again.
Remembering the scene of the last encounter with the wolves, Du Su Rui's heart palpitated.
"Classmate Wu, how sure are we?"
"I'm 100% sure."
Hearing her answer, thinking of the ghosts and gods she raised, Du Su Rui nodded.
If there were those powerful ghosts and gods to help, Wu Luoyang's chances of missing were greatly reduced.
"Shall we go up the mountain before dark?"
Du Su Rui asked again.
"No!"
Wu Luoyang pinned the bronze supreme pure yang sword to his waist, looked at Du Surui and Wen Qiqi, and said again: "It's not us, it's me!" I'm going up the hill alone tonight. Su Rui, you help me protect Qiqi. ”
Hearing this, the two people on the opposite side jumped up in shock.
"You're going to go alone?"
Wu Luoyang nodded.
Du Su Rui knows the Dao method to get out, if he brings Wen Qiqi, then it is possible that the three of them will have to give the wolves more food.
Night falls.
Wu Luoyang packed his things and prepared to go up the mountain.
