The carriage traveled all the way, stopping for supplies as it passed through each town on its way. If the people in the car see that it is getting late, they will find an inn to rest.

Shen Li thought that Mu Yan would probably not be able to stand it, so he was very considerate at first and didn't rush much, but tomorrow it was still early, so he had already rented an inn to live. But who would have thought that in the end, it was Mu Yan who asked to continue on his journey, saying that it didn't matter if he spent the night in the woods after dark.

As soon as these words came out, the two princes were quite surprised. Especially Shen Yan, he also pretended to be gloomy and intimidated her, saying that in the woods late at night, it was a place where fierce beasts haunted. They will do some work, and self-preservation is not a problem, your little body, that is a matter of swallowing in one bite.

Mu Yan ignored his nonsense at all, threw him a roll of his eyes and joked that if he really encountered such a thing, he would definitely drag him to the funeral with him.

After that, the two of them laughed and played. Shen Li saw that Mu Yan was in good spirits, so he also put his mind at ease. Although she wondered how her delicate Miss Mu was so energetic, she didn't say much. Of course, he will definitely not know that this Muyan is not the other. She's an animal trainer and has a lot of physical strength.

So, at Mu Yan's request, the carriage increased the speed of the road, and it was not making a senseless stop. On the way, we spent a few nights in the woods, and because of the limited space in the car, the three of them stayed in a sitting position and fell asleep. The coachman was guarding outside, and Mu Yan kindly handed him a blanket to keep out the cold. In this way, the days have passed in a blink of an eye, and more than half a month has passed since I left Beijing.

Neither the Xuanwu Mountain nor the map of the Ming Kingdom shows its specific location. If it weren't for Mu Yan's jade pendant, it would not have been possible to go so smoothly.

On this day, their carriage drove to a place called Xuanyou Village. Shen Li took out the map and looked at it, then let Mu Yan and Shen Yan get out of the car.

The two of them were puzzled, and asked if they had run out of dry food and needed to buy it? Shen Li shook his head and whispered: "This is the last foothold, and in the future, there will be no road on the map." ”

Mu Yan and Shen Yan were stunned when they heard this, thinking that no one had ever been to this Xuanwu Mountain, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Shen Li was still calm and calm, smiled slightly, and took the two of them to the only small inn in the village to rest temporarily.

When the shopkeeper came to serve tea, Shen Li quietly glanced at Shen Yan and said, "The shopkeeper stayed a little, our brother and sister came here unintentionally. Bother to ask the store, is there a place with a good scenery near here?"

As Shen Li spoke, Shen Yan had already taken out a silver ingot from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table. This poor and remote place in Xuanyou Village is not rich when I think so. When the shopkeeper saw Shen Yan's mistake so wide, he immediately smiled happily. But after accepting the money, he shook his head.

"The two masters and this young lady are from rich and noble families at first glance, and I won't hide it from you. Our place really doesn't have much fun, and there aren't even outsiders on weekdays. ”

Xiao Er said this, and also pointed around. Shen Li raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, except for one or two fellow villagers who were in the same clothes drinking tea and chatting, there were only three of them. Because of his clothing and appearance, he has attracted the attention of many passers-by at this moment.

Shen Li lowered his head slightly, and followed Xiao Er's words: "Then in that case, isn't this inn a loss?

When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately sighed and said, "Hey, this inn is my uncle's house." He died early, and my father saw that the good house was empty and wasted, so he broke through the wall and made a large room. At first, I didn't plan to entertain people, but one year, a lot of people suddenly came to the village. One of them was covered in blood, and my father and I were so scared that we hid in the corner and shivered. Then the man came up to me and my dad and said let's not be afraid. He seems to have been seriously injured and has been living here for about half a month. Before leaving, I gave my father a lot of money, saying that he would buy this inn and let my father not close it anyway. In the future, his son may come here to recuperate or something. ”

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Do you remember when that blood-covered man came to you?"

The second brother frowned and smiled bitterly, "Who remembers this! I only know that when he came, I was still a bare-ass child." Now that I have a son, how long ago did you say it was?"

Shen Li smiled to soothe Shen Yan's excited emotions and asked, "Does the little second brother know where the man covered in blood got injured?

"I don't know about that. We didn't have a shop in front of the village or behind it, and those people seemed to have popped up out of thin air. Later, when my father went to deliver medicine to the man, he also had the audacity to ask once. The man told my father that in this world, the more secrets people know, the sooner they die. So scared my dad didn't dare to ask anything. ”

Can't go to the village in front of the village and can't have a store in the back?

Shen Li raised his eyebrows and asked again. "Further back in your village, where is it?"

"No!" the little second brother shook his head. "This is our last place to stay. After that, there are mountains, and there are no roads. So if you want to see any beautiful scenery, you should hurry up and buy some dry food from here and go home as soon as possible. ”

Shen Li lowered his head and pondered, it was impossible to have no way. Originally, the place where Yu Pei was guided was here, plus what Xiao Er said just now, the man covered in blood was obviously his father, so Xuanwu Mountain must be nearby, and the dragon vein was also in the mountain.

"Does the little second brother know about Xuanwu Mountain?"

At this time, Mu Yan, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth. The little second brother was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Mu Yan in surprise and said, "How does the girl know about Xuanwu Mountain?

Mu Yan shook his head with a smile, "I haven't been here, but I've heard my father mention it." That's why I was curious, so I pulled the two brothers to see what was going on. ”

The second brother is very simple and honest, and when he heard Mu Yan say this, he believed it. After nodding, he suddenly leaned forward, glanced left and right, and whispered: "I see that the girl and the two sons are so handsome, and most of them are also high-ranking officials, so I kindly remind you a few words." Behind our village, there is Xuanwu Mountain. I heard from the old people of the village that there were gods living on that mountain, and no mortal could enter it. There were people in the village who went in, and ten people went, and only one came back, and they became insane. So no one dared to go anymore. That mountain, it's very evil!"

"Oh?

As soon as the little second brother finished speaking, he thought that he would see the frightened or panicked eyes of the three people. But who expected that one raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and the other two eyes were shining with inexplicable excitement. Such a strange scene suddenly made him not know how to react.
