From Ke Lan to Pingya, most of the mountains are steep, and Ke Lan and Mo Ji also belong to the twelve cities in the northern Xinjiang, when the Beizhu State Mansion established a city in the north, the main purpose is to prevent the invasion of demon beasts, in order to buffer, so although the land is wide, it is sparsely populated, the two cities are connected for thousands of miles, but together they are not as popular as Pingya City.

On the official road from Colan to Pingya, two red horses are running like flying, and a big car made of iron and wood nails is dragged behind them, although it is an official road, the wheels will fly large and small stones from time to time, leaving a road of smoke and dust, and the body is also very rhythmically bumpy. The car was divided into east and west hatchbacks, which were still temporarily partitioned, although it was said to be the best car in the town, and the price was ten gold coins, in fact, the four people in the car seemed a little cramped. Chen Su sat cross-legged in the west chamber, Song Yi on the opposite side held a wine gourd in his hand, from time to time he would shake the gourd, listen to how much wine was in it, and then sighed and shook his head, for the past three days, the carriage has been on the road at the same time, and Chen Su has sunk into cultivation, closed his eyes and did not speak, and even his breathing became extremely slow, of course Song Yi couldn't bother, so his days became boring, at first Ting Yu would come to him to say a few words of gossip to see Chen Su's situation, but this carriage was narrow, and then Ting Yu didn't like to come, and the two of them seemed to have studied the piano score again。

The talent of the Tingyan sisters is extremely high, but since the Ascension Song was composed by Emperor Yao, the mystery is broad and profound, and the two sisters have no one to guide them, and they all rely on self-understanding, so once they use their hearts, they are the same as Chen Su, and they don't like to be disturbed. Among the four people, only Song Yi was idle, and he had the heart to talk to the handlebar outside the box, but the handlebar was a person with few words, and Song Yi was talking about the two chatting a lot, and the handlebar style only hummed and didn't talk much, and Song Yi was really bored enough for three days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Chen Sucai slowly opened his eyes, in the past three days, he has been calm and concentrated, the dream of life and death has realized the fourth level, and the feeling between him and the ancient scroll is deeper, but the two spirits of water and fire have entered a deep sleep because of the consumption of essence, according to what Tianchong said, if they want to wake up, it will take at least a month of effort, Chen Su tried to help the two spirits recover with his own Shenyuan, but after several experiments have had little effect, he had to give up, Tianchong comforted him more, the two spirits are the five elements of strange things, and they will be able to recover in time. Calculating the time, Chen Su knew that it should be not far from Pingya, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Song Yi napping boringly.

"Second uncle?" Chen Su called softly.

"Hmm...... Huh?" Song Yi had a heavy nasal voice, but soon his eyes widened and he excitedly grabbed Chen Su's shoulder, "Oh, stinky boy, you can be considered awake, the second uncle has been suffocated to death in the past two days, no one speaks, the wine is gone, and the carriage is narrow, which is even more uncomfortable than being in prison." ”

"It's hard to be a second uncle. Chen Su bowed his head embarrassedly, "But we should not be far from Pingya now, right?"

"Huh?" Song Yi tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be far away." ”

"Okay!" said, Chen Su drilled out of the carriage with a cat's waist, poked his head out, the sky was just bright, and the handlebar style was also slightly fascinated by his eyes between half-asleep and half-awake, fortunately, these are two red horses, and his intelligence is not low, Chen Su gently pushed the handlebar, "Uncle, where are we here?"

"Oh?" The handlebar style snorted, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Chen Su, and he identified the direction, "Oh, it's not far, we won't be able to reach Pingya at night, but there is a swamp further ahead, if you don't make a detour, the speed will have to slow down a lot, and the detour will be a little far." ”

"Swamp?" Chen Su suddenly frowned, as if remembering the past, "Does that swamp have a name?"

The handlebar shook his head, "We can only pass through a small road in the middle, Fukasawa does not dare to enter, it is said that there are not only bandits rampant inside, but also some monsters." As he spoke, the handlebar-style voice was slightly lower, and he leaned into Chen Su's ear, "A lot of people die here every year, and the resentment accumulates like a netherworld, so everyone calls this Netherworld!"

"Oh. Chen Su nodded, and looked ahead, Chiji's speed was similar to that of ordinary horses, but his endurance was much stronger, "Uncle, how far is it from Jiuli Town?"

"Jiuli Town?" looked back at Chen Su with the handlebar, "Young man, do you know Jiuli Town?"

"Isn't that a small village and town on the edge of Pingya?" Chen Su said suspiciously, and smiled at the handlebar, "That's an old name, it's been changed for two years, and it's now called Shenjiazhuang." ”

"Shenjiazhuang?" When Chen Su heard this, his tone changed slightly, and he didn't notice it, but continued: "Yes, two years ago, the Zhuguo Mansion intended to build a courtyard there, but then somehow changed the place, but Jiuli Town became Shenjiazhuang. ”

Chen Su's face gradually sank, and he said secretly in his heart: "Shen Tianwen, Shen Jiazhuang, it's time to settle an account." At this time, Song Yi also leaned out of the compartment, "Su'er, have you asked for so long, where have you been?"

"Second uncle, there is the Netherworld Pond in front of you, you said that you have been holding it for too long, I also think that the compartment is narrow, why don't we come down and take a walk?"

"Okay!" Song Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'm not like you can sit for three days, I'm tired." ”

"Then I'll ask them...... Brothers. After speaking, Chen Su tapped on the east side of the compartment wall, and it was not likely that Ting Yu would poke out his little head, looking at Chen Su and smiling lightly, "Chen Gongzi, are you awake?"

"Well," Chen Su nodded, "I've been in the car for three days, and I'm a little tired, so I want to ask you, do you want to come down and take a walk? ”

"Okay!" Ting Yu's temperament was also very lively, if she could leisurely walk the mountains and see the water, she liked it the most.

"But it will be a little tiring, but not far ahead is the town of Jiuli, and we can rest there at night. Chen Su continued to explain: "So you discuss it with Ting Yan and see how it goes?"

"There's no need to discuss, I've already heard it, and I've felt tired in the past two days, and I can't do it, so it's good to come down and take a walk. ”

Seeing that the four of them had the same attitude, he turned around and said: "A few guest officers, if you want to get off the car and walk, you can also do it, but the car money is not refundable, and the shopkeeper only brought me a coil before coming out, and the car dealership also has rules." ”

Ting Yu's face was cold when he heard this, and he deliberately teased the handlebar and said: "Then how can we do it, we won't have to pay back if we don't take the car? If you don't pay it back, you will pull one of your two horses to the top account, anyway, a few gold coins can still be exchanged back." ”

Hearing this, the old face of the handlebar style was bitter, "A few masters, I didn't offend you, you did this but you forced me to a dead end, I have old and young in my family, it all depends on me to feed alone, you took away Chiji, and the shopkeeper must not pick my skin after I go back......"

Chen Su patted the handlebar on the shoulder and interrupted him: "Uncle, don't believe her, she is joking with you, we are all our own people." And if we voluntarily get out of the car and walk, how can we calculate the car money with you again?"

The handlebar face was still shocked, "Then thank you a few masters, I don't know where I should take a few of them?"

Seeing the handlebar-style panicked look, Ting Yu covered her mouth and snickered, but was secretly pinched by Ting Yan from behind, she suddenly lost her voice and hid back in the compartment to play with her sister.

Chen Su poked his head and looked forward, "Uncle, since you said that the swamp ahead is difficult, it is better to leave us out of the swamp." ”

The handlebar type first nodded, and then said worriedly: "Little brother, I see that you are good, so I advise you to take a car through the Netherworld, as the saying goes, you must go fast in dangerous places, this Netherworld is not a good place, in case you encounter a bad person or something, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Chen Su smiled, "Uncle, you sent us through the Netherworld, didn't there be only one person and one car when we came back?"

"This?" the handlebar style was already shocked, and at this time it was even more frightened and shivered. Chen Su laughed, "So Uncle still left us here." ”

Hearing this, the handlebar style no longer shirked, "Then thank you, you must come to my house to sit in Qinghe Town in the future, my mother's roasted goat leg is delicious, as long as you ask the lame mother-in-law, no one in the town knows." ”

"Definitely!" Chen Su laughed, but in Qinghe Town, he didn't remember the lame mother-in-law at all.

Chi Ji galloped for another half an hour, the morning smoke in the distant mountains dissipated, the handlebar type pulled the reins, "Huh!" A long sound, Chi Ji was psychic, even if he pulled the heavy ironwood cart behind, he still stopped steadily, the handlebar type turned around and gently knocked on the car, Chen Su and the others leaned out, and the handlebar type said respectfully: "A few masters, there is the Netherworld Pool in front." ”

"Okay!" Chen Su took the lead in jumping out of the car, raising his eyes and looking forward, the official road not far in front has become narrow, and the grass and trees on both sides that are more than half a person tall have long been withered and yellow, a group of dejected appearance, Chen Su has lived in Jiuli Town for more than ten years, cold and summer, and now he feels more cordial when he returns here, but things are not people and are desolate. Song Yi also got out of the car and patted Chen Su on the shoulder, he naturally knew that his nephew must not feel good now. Then the Tingyan sisters helped each other get out of the car, singing and harmonizing: "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered!"

Chen Su looked back and smiled, "The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." The poetry here is now a different mood, it is already like this, and the emotion is in vain, it is better to cheer up, and after a sigh he bowed his hand to the handlebar, "Thank you, uncle, let's leave it at that." ”

"A few masters be careful on the road!" The handlebar jumped out of the car and pulled Chi Ji to turn his head, said goodbye to Chen Su and the others, and then whipped away. Chen Su looked at Song Yi and the others, "Second uncle, two girls, let's continue on our way, right?"

Ting Yu cheered and stretched a lazy waist, let go of her footsteps and walked forward in a hurry, completely different from her sister's dignified and quiet elegance, Song Yi returned his hand and touched the wine gourd hanging on his waist, at this time it was already empty, only Chen Su, and recalled the scene when he was chased by Ze Beast two years ago.
