Chapter 271: Divergence

The car spiraled up the mountain road.

After a short time, I came to the nearest mountain pass into the mountain, and it was work time, and the staff on duty at the checkpoint had already begun to block those who wanted to enter the mountain.

Previously, the mayor had greeted the staff on duty at the crossing, Du Surui parked the car, Wu Luoyang explained his intention to the staff on duty at the checkpoint, and was soon released directly up the mountain.

"Hey, they can all go up the mountain, why can't we?"

The outdoor adventure enthusiasts behind him pointed to the backs of Wu Luoyang and Du Surui, and protested dissatisfiedly.

The staff was selfless and drove people back, "They are mountain guards, and they went up the mountain to apply for special approval from the town, not to play like you." All the vehicles turned around and walked back to the town, it was dangerous for wolves to be infested in the mountains, so don't go up the mountains without permission. ”

……

Along the way, Qin Yingzhu and Lin Jiadan led the way in front.

Thinking of the ancient house in the southeast corner of the town, Wu Luoyang couldn't help but be a little curious, so he took advantage of the gap in the road to inquire about Qin Yingzhu.

Regarding that ancient house, Qin Yingzhu knew something from the information handed down from his ancestors.

He said that the ancestors of the Qin family were the family of servants in the ancient town, so the fact that the ancient house was originally a prison has also been confirmed by Qin Yingzhu.

Regarding the haunting of the ancient house, Qin Yingzhu also mentioned some rumored deeds in the town.

It's still related to the Qin family.

Originally, the two brothers of the Qin family were all husbands, and Qin Yingzhu belonged to the side branch of the Qin family, and later, after the reform and development, he changed his career to run a coffin shop.

As for the second son of the Qin family, there are no descendants in Taoyuan Town now.

Wu Luoyang asked why.

Qin Yingzhu replied that it is said that the second son of the Qin family was not right-minded, and he dealt with the prison director all the year round, and there were people who died in prison every year.

Later, some people found that the second son of the Qin family used various means to raise the people in the town, wanting to be the king and hegemon here, and then he was sent troops down to suppress it, and the second son of the Qin family himself was beheaded to show the public.

The head of the second son of the Qin family was hung at the city gate for three days, but his body was nowhere to be found, and his family was implicated and exiled.

"It stands to reason that if he commits such a major incident, his family will not be able to collect his body for him."

The senior brother Wu Fengxing, who is familiar with history books, spoke out.

"That's right."

Qin Yingzhu, who was walking in the front to explore the path, paused slightly, and turned to look at him, "It is said that my grandfather's grandfather had secretly asked the relationship to collect the body of his brother, and he saw the body lying on the execution ground before sunset, however, he sneaked into the execution ground in the dark and searched for a long time without seeing the remaining part. ”

"Could it be that his family has given him the income?"

Dussuri asked.

Qin Yingzhu shook his head, "Impossible, the people of the second son's line have all been exiled, and who can collect the corpse for him has become a mystery anyway." ”

"Is it possible that his body is in prison?"

Wu Luoyang thought of something.

Thinking of being held high by the headless Yin Demon last night, Du Surui felt a chill all over her body, "For example, throw it into a well, bury it under the grass and trees in the prison or something." ”

Originally, everyone thought that Qin Yingzhu would say that it was impossible, but they didn't think about it, but he gave another answer.

"It's not impossible."

Qin Yingzhu stepped on the thick fallen leaves, jumped over a slightly sunken pothole, and continued: "There is a soul lock well in that Gucuo Prison, which is used to suppress the souls of those who are under capital punishment. ”

Soul Lock Well, also known as Soul Suppression Well.

As the name suggests, it is a well used to lock up the soul and suppress the undead.

The well......

Wu Luoyang and Du Surui glanced at each other, and suddenly became enlightened.

It's no wonder that Scorpio Star chose that well to perch, it turned out that it was a soul-locking well with extremely heavy yin qi, and it was not surprising that white bones appeared in that well.

A group of people walked through the shady forest, each with a little vigilance on their faces. The tall trees intertwine to form a dense forest sea, where the sunlight is blocked by layers of leaves, and only the occasional faint light through the leaf gaps spills onto the ground.

Qin Yingzhu carefully stepped on the thick fallen leaves under his feet, for fear that he would step on the air or trip over something unknown if he was not careful, some seemed to be flat, but he jumped over, and some of the dirt that seemed to be a little loose he stepped on.

The same is true of those who follow him, walking a little faster when he does not speak. The air is filled with the smell of moist earth and the faint scent of trees, and the occasional low birdsong can be heard not far away.

Everyone tensed their nerves, constantly paying attention to the movements around them, their eyes wandering among the dense trees, looking for possible danger. In this mysterious and dark forest, the unknown is always unsettling and frightening.

Despite this, Wu Luoyang and Qin Yingzhu still moved forward firmly, and only through this forest could they find those few villagers who had gone into the mountains to pick up mushrooms.

Climbing up the mountain is physically demanding, not to mention the untouched primeval forest.

After an hour's drive to the mountain road, Qin Yingzhu came to a rock wall with a spring gushing water, and Qin Yingzhu was at a rock with a good view, so that everyone could take a break and recover their strength.

"How long will it take us to catch up with them?"

Senior sister Wu Baiyun handed a bottle of water to Wu Luoyang and asked her to initiate an exploration technique and continue to inquire about the location of those villagers.

Wu Luoyang took a sip of water, raised the back of his hand and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

After a while, he handed the water back to his senior sister Wu Baiyun.

Squatting down, Wu Luoyang closed his eyes, and his sword finger lightly launched the exploration technique on the rock.

Powerful psionic powers were activated by the Exploration Technique, starting at her side and then quickly searching around, through the rock peaks and over the mountains......

Finally, in a gloomy col, I saw a few slowly moving figures.

"Found it."

Wu Luoyang opened his eyes happily and stood up.

She raised her hand and pointed to the peak of the cliff in front of her, where a white spring waterfall hung on it, and said, "The villagers who are collecting mushrooms are behind that mountain, in the col. ”

Hearing this, Du Surui's face was overjoyed.

"Finally found someone, my legs are almost useless."

As he spoke, his clenched fist landed on his leg and thumped gently and rhythmically.

Over there, Qin Yingzhu told him the fact that he had a waste leg: "The mountain peak in front of us is steep and can't be climbed, so we have to take a detour of about ten miles to reach the col that the little junior sister of Luoyang said." ”

What!!!

Du Su Rui's tiger body shook, and suddenly paused the hammer leg hand fist in mid-air.

Slowly turned his head, looked at Qin Yingzhu with a serious face, and asked with his eyes, but saw Qin Yingzhu nodding affirmatively at Du Surui, who was full of shock......

At this time, Du Surui really wanted to use his fist to block Qin Yingzhu's mouth.

Take a break.

The group continued to get up and hurry.

But at this time, Qin Yingzhu and Lin Jiadan had a disagreement on the route planning for the future.

There are two mountains in front of it, forming a deep canyon.

Qin Yingzhu's route was to continue up along the mountain range at the top of the mountain and enter the col where the villagers were located from top to bottom, while Lin Jiadan chose to cross the canyon because the road at the bottom of the valley was smoother than the mountain.

"Walk the mountains."

At this time, Wu Luoyang spoke up and chose Qin Yingzhu's route.

Although the road at the bottom of the valley is flatter than that of the mountains, the valley floor is overgrown with weeds and lurks with unknown dangers, and the fierce beasts like to hide in it during the day, which is far more dangerous for them than walking on the cliffs that can be seen by the mountains.

"If you want to go through the mountains, you can go through the mountains, I'm tired, I'm going to cross the canyon."

The voice fell.

Lin Jiadan ignored everyone's opinions and walked towards the canyon. (End of chapter)
