053. What are you doing?
Huang He, who was hiding in the clouds, was also taken aback, he was ordered by his master to secretly accompany Shaowu and Zongyan to protect Shao Wu and Zong Yan, of course, he had already explored the surrounding situation clearly, and thought that there was no threat. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info White Rabbit accidentally alarmed the murderous thing in the deep mountains, the murderous thing drove the ghost to attack, Shaowu and Zong Yan can handle it, and there is no need for Yellow Crane to be troublesome.
The ghost was killed by Shaowu, and a more powerful murderous creature appeared, and Huang He judged the strength of this fierce creature very clearly, Shaowu was definitely not his opponent, but there was still Zong Yan! With Zong Yan's ability and holding a halberd, he could completely deal with it, why did he run away, this is not her temper?
This is indeed not Zong Yan's temper, if there is no Shao Wu here, Zong Yan has already copied the guy to do it! But with Shao Wu by his side, Zong Yan must be cautious, she is not a yellow crane, she can clearly judge the strength of the other party, only know that the person who comes is very strong, although she can deal with it, but it is inevitable that there will be an unexpected situation, if the fighting method affects Shao Wu, it will not be good.
Zong Yan's first consideration was not how to subdue the murderous object, but to ensure the safety of Shaowu, this girl looked very aggressive, her mind was quite meticulous, and she didn't know when she actually changed her temperament.
Zong Yan immediately decided to run fast, and quickly got out of the range of the murderous thing's divine sense, and the other party couldn't find a shadow anymore if he wanted to chase him. In fact, the white rabbit had already touched the vicinity of the village they were going to just now, just to find a more suitable route to open up the avenue, so they went around a long distance and accidentally alarmed the murderous object, and at this moment hid in the package and instructed Zong Yan how to run. Half an hour later, the village could be seen on the gentle slope in the distance.
As soon as Shao Wu wanted to open his mouth and ask Zong Yan to put him down, Zong Yan had already taken the initiative to let go of his hand. She let go of her hand very smoothly, opened her arms and reached out again, and let Shaowu stand on his feet and hugged his waist, as if she was afraid that he would fall. Shaowu coughed and said, "Miss Zongyan, I'm fine!"
Zong Yan let go and said in surprise: "You didn't faint?"
Shaowu: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! I should have been dizzy, but I happened to have a treasure to protect my body, which was a sword talisman given by my master and practiced by Patriarch Wufuqiu himself, and I can wear it to protect my mind." โ
The roar of that murderous creature is not an ordinary roar, its magical power can impact the original god and capture people's hearts, even if Shaowu's cultivation is good and will not be controlled by it, but he will faint on the spot. However, Shaowu was only in a momentary confusion at that time, and his legs were weak and he almost didn't fall, and then he regained his consciousness, because he had always worn the sword talisman given by his master.
But Zong Yan didn't know, she saw that Shaowu's body was weak and fell backwards, and she also knew that the attack of the murderous thing was powerful, so she thought that Shaowu had fainted, so she hurriedly grabbed him and ran. Unexpectedly, the young affairs along the way are actually sober, which seems to be a little embarrassing.
Zong Yan said a little unnaturally: "Oh, I'll just say, I'm not ashamed to be Ba Jun, there are so many treasures with me...... We're going to get to the place, and I was going to put you down and wake you up. You can't lose your appearance when you want to meet people, that will damage Ba Jun's identity. Now that you're awake, pack up and hurry over. โ
Shaowu: "The girl has a heart, and she is really thoughtful." โ
Zong Yan: "Just like you said, it's just good at physical things! You think things are much more thoughtful than me, and I didn't go this way in vain with you, of course, I also learned a lot." โ
The village they were going to reach belonged to a small tribe, and there were several villages nearby, but this one was the largest. It is located at the junction of the Yinshan Mountain Range and the Helan Mountain Range, if it is from the Yinshan side, there is originally a road, but Zong Yan and Shaowu are from the Helan Mountain side, and the road has yet to be opened.
The distinguished guests came from afar, and the patriarch led the crowd to greet them respectfully. Although they hadn't seen Shaowu and Zongyan before, they would definitely not recognize the wrong person, and the news had already been heard by Boyi and Wu Zhen. Although Shaowu's body is wet, he has regained his usual bearing in the middle of his actions, and at first glance he is a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and others can't imitate it if they want to;
As in other places, Shao Wu received the most solemn courtesy, and the salt of the sect was also stained with it. First, there was a special person to wait for them to change into dry clothes, and the patriarch served the most sumptuous food, and asked Ba Jun what else he wanted during the banquet?
Whenever he goes to a place, he never asks for anything, and the other party can receive him how he likes, and in short, no one will slack off. And Zong Yan's temper has always been to directly inquire about the progress of water control and whether the task has been completed as planned?
Of course, Shaowu didn't ask for it, but Zong Yan took the lead and said: "You prepare hot water and let Ba Jun take a good bath." There is no need to send someone to serve him to wash, but the bath bucket must be large enough, and the water must be hot and comfortable enough. Ba Jun has just been drenched in the rain in the mountains, don't let him catch a cold and get sick. โ
This is a trivial matter, but it is rare for Zong Yan to open his mouth to make this kind of request for Shaowu first, and the patriarch hurriedly arranged it, in fact, Zong Yan would arrange it well if he didn't mention it. Ba Jun bathes, can't he find a few beautiful maids to serve?But Master Zong Yan said again, Ba Jun doesn't need someone to serve him to take a bath, but he must be comfortable enough...... Well, just do as she asks.
Shaowu and Zongyan lived in the courtyard of their own house specially given by the head of the clan and the leader of the village, and one person occupied a large house, and there were servants on duty in the hall outside, specially waiting for the call. These servants were all young women, and they lived in side rooms. When Shao Wu was bathing, Zong Yan drove all the servants back, saying that they were not needed, and she herself stood at the door of the hall and looked at the courtyard in a daze.
In fact, this is not a daze, Zong Yan is unfolding his divine sense to pay attention to the movements around him, he has just been in danger in the mountains today, and he has to be careful at this moment. But as soon as she was not careful, her divine sense extended to Shaowu's house, how could the walls of that district block the prying eyes of the masters, Zong Yan also explained to herself, this is to prevent Shaowu from fainting or falling while bathing, and not to have any accidents.
"This Ba Jun is not young, but his physique is still very good, and he looks very heroic when he kills the ghost today......
Zong Yan was muttering to herself, when a white light flashed on the courtyard wall, and a rabbit native jumped in from outside, jumped in front of her, and said, "What are you doing? I've never seen you so stupid!"
"I didn't ...... I didn't do anything, I was on the alert for the situation around me. Zong Yan's tone was a little flustered, and he quickly withdrew his senses, as if he had a feeling of being caught as a thief, and changed the topic again, "How are you doing?"
White Rabbit: "I quietly went back to the mountains and found the old nest of the murderous thing, and there were only a few ghosts left." โ
Zong Yan: "It's good to find the nest, I've worked hard for you, I'll talk about it tomorrow." โ
White Rabbit: "Why is your face a little red, are you sick in the rain?"
Zong Yan turned around and shook his hand into the house, and said as he walked: "Nonsense! How can I get sick with my cultivation?"
The White Rabbit muttered, "I think you're a little weird anyway, could it be that you were shocked by that murderous thing?"
Zong Yan: "Don't talk nonsense and be heard, be careful of being arrested as a monster! Go find a place to play outside the village yourself, I'll call you again when I have something." โ
The white rabbit usually does not follow Zong Yan into the village along the way, he just finds a place to stay in the wilderness, and usually does not easily appear in front of outsiders. When Shaowu finished taking a comfortable hot bath, it was dark, and he rested that night without saying anything, and early the next morning, Zong Yan summoned the leaders of the local tribes to inquire about the water control.
There are a total of five villages in this area, all belonging to the same tribe, named Youfeng Ministry, and the village where they are at the moment is called Youfeng Village, and the head of the tribe lives here. The Youfeng clan and the other four village patriarchs arrived, but the result of Zong Yan's inquiry was very disappointing, and the Youfeng Department did not complete the due progress of the project according to Bo Yu's plan at all.
Not only did the Wind Mine not complete its task, but it was still far from progressing, if this was the case, there would be a big problem in the future with other tribes, and the entire water control project would be dragged down by this link. If it was according to Zong Yan's initial temper, he would definitely slap the table directly and scold him, and even the big stick had already been taken out on the spot.
But after walking on the road for so long and passing through so many villages, Zong Yan's temper has changed a lot. In the past, every time she was angry and wanted to teach someone a lesson, it was Shaowu who stretched out his hand to stop it first, but today, Zong Yan no longer needed Shaowu to stop it, and took the initiative to look at Shaowu first.
The young man asked: "When I entered the village yesterday, I inquired about the situation, the food and materials in the village are quite sufficient, and there is a road to connect the construction site at the foot of the mountain, why is the specified task only half completed, is there any unexpected situation?"
Youfeng got up and bent down and said, "Ba Jun and Master Zongyan, you don't know anything. I didn't move here recently, I've been living here for a hundred years, we rarely went down the mountain in the past, and twenty years ago we received a lot of victims from other tribes. There is a road leading to the river at the foot of the mountain, but we don't need to go there on weekdays.
There are two roads leading to the outside world, one is a mountain path that leads to the tribes in the Yin Mountains, and the other leads to the river flooding land below the mountains. But now the river is uninhabited, and the roads are deserted. If it weren't for the order of the Son of Heaven and following Lord Boyu to control the water, the local people would not have set foot in that road again......"
Seeing that this monarch was a little verbose, Zong Yan directly interrupted him and said, "Is there a murderous thing on the road?"
The Youfeng clan hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Excellency is wise, evil things have always happened on that road, and they are not unique in the past twenty years......
This section of Helan Mountain is close to the foot of the mountain, with many loess and ravines. If you want to go down the mountain from the place where the wind is located, you can't pass directly because of the ravine, so you have to make a detour to the middle of the mountain for a long distance. It is precisely because there are always evil things happening on this road, and I don't know when it started, and I have heard various legends from the elders when I was a child in the Youfeng Clan.
There is an evil place deep in the mountains here, and it must not be easily set foot in, otherwise it will be lost and taken away inexplicably, and it will never come back. When the flood was not flooding, there were many tribes under the mountain, and the Winds would exchange many things with them, and sometimes intermarry.
But every time the people of the Wind tribe descend the mountain, they must pick the sunniest day and pass through the area quickly at noon, so as to avoid evil things as much as possibleโthis is the ancestral motto of the tribe. Later, the bottom of the mountain became an uninhabited river flood, and they did not have to venture down the mountain again.
But the Son of Heaven ordered the water to be controlled, and the Ministry of the Wind also received the task, and at the foot of the mountain, there was a section of the river they were responsible for excavating, and many young and strong laborers were sent to the construction site, and the necessary materials had to be transported from the village. However, due to the ancestral teachings of the tribe, there are not many eligible road traffic hours, the material delivery capacity is limited, and the young and strong laborers who can be sent out are limited, so the progress of the project is greatly delayed.
Hearing this, Shao Wu seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "It is because of the ancestral teachings of the tribe that you delayed the matter of controlling the water?"
The Youfeng clan hurriedly bowed down and said: "Please forgive your sins, the clansmen really don't dare! Outsiders may think that this is nonsense, just because of legends, it is a big mistake, but I know that the evil land is not a legend, I have seen it with my own eyes......"
The Youfeng clan is over fifty years old this year, but he was also a young man with strong blood at the beginning, and he also disagreed with the legends, thinking that they were all made up by old people to scare children, just to warn everyone not to run around in the mountains to avoid danger. Once, when he came back from the bottom of the mountain, it was nearly dusk when he passed the evil place, and he didn't pay much attention.
Seeing the sunset over the West Mountain, he poked his head out of the hillside and happened to see a person in front of him who was also on the way, a villager he was familiar with. He was just about to open his mouth to shout, but suddenly felt that the mountain wind was a little cold, and he shivered inexplicably, and then he realized that something was wrong with the person. As if he had lost his soul, the villager turned off the road and walked into the dense forest in a daze.
Inexplicably, there was a sense of fear that seemed to clench his heart, he lay there and did not dare to move, and after a long time, he slowly retreated to the back of the hillside, and stumbled down the mountain in the dark...... When he returned to the village, he heard that the villager had disappeared and had never returned. This was something that the Youfeng clan saw with his own eyes when he was young, and since then, he has repeatedly warned his people not to violate the ancestral teachings.
Hearing about this past, Shao Wu said with a solemn face: "In the past twenty years, you have not gone down the mountain again, and the clansmen will not pass through that section of the road again, so it should be safe and sound." But I ask you, are there any people missing?"
Youfeng replied: "Living in the mountains, it is inevitable that all kinds of accidents will happen, and there are indeed a few people who go missing every year, some people say that they have set foot in the forbidden land without permission, and some people say that they have had accidents in the mountains. "There are five villages and more than 1,000 people in the Youfeng Tribe, and a few disappear in the mountains every year, and it has been the "normal" situation in the local area for a hundred years.
Shao Wu asked again: "It is inevitable that accidents will occur in the mountains, such as accidentally falling off the cliff, and you may not be able to find them." But are most of your people who go missing every year the best of their health?"
Youfeng Clan was slightly stunned: "Since Ba Jun asked so, I have remembered that the clansmen who disappear in the mountains every year are two or three at least and five or six at most, and most of them are young and strong, and it is said that they should not have an accident!" Speaking of this, the monarch seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Does Ba Jun know what happened to them, and know what is going on in the forbidden land in the mountains, and has a way to solve this problem?"
When he bowed, the other four patriarchs also knelt down, and bowed to the ground with their heads: "If Ba Jun really has a way to solve the evil things that my clan has suffered since ancient times, please be sure to come to the rescue, and the whole of the Wind Department is grateful for the great kindness!"
Shaowu hurriedly got up to help, but before he could speak, he only heard Zong Yan say: "You don't have to kowtow, isn't there a demon and evil evil? I'll go and clean up, you get up and wait, take care of Ba Jun, I'll come when I go!"
The girl did things simply, and rushed out of the door with a halberd in her hand like a gust of wind, and the young man didn't stop shouting if she wanted to.
