Chapter 41: The Mystery (Extra 2)

Shen Gu's BMW has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, and Poison Fang Mountain is in the southeast of Pinggu County, which also shortens his distance. Therefore, it was only noon when he arrived here from Yicheng, and there were merchants and convoys on the official road, which can prove that a boy had galloped by on a black horse not long ago.

The sight of an eight-year-old child galloping alone is a rare sight, and everyone is very impressed.

Shen Gu was no longer surprised, and he didn't bother to think about when the little beggar would get a new skill in horseback riding.

He caught up with the last stretch of the official road, and then, the clue pointed to the path.

The clue was obvious, it was a small strip of cloth hanging from the branch of the bell tree on the side of the road. In late autumn, the bell trees are full of yellow flowers, but the branches are hung with bright blue cloth, which is really eye-catching.

What's more, the woods are right next to a post station, and there are eyewitnesses in the post station.

Shen Gu's heart was angry, and his face was pale: Did this kid deliberately leave such an obvious clue in order to tease the pursuers?

The henchman didn't wait for his order, so he had to ask, "My lord?"

"Chase!" "All come here, can you chase down?" ”

Turning into the trail, the forest became denser and the mountain road became more and more difficult, and the speed of the procession slowed down as a matter of course. Shen Gu had a master who was good at tracking, and then he found that the target had taken them in circles and made several detours.

Shen Gu didn't give up, but only reminded everyone to pay attention to their surroundings.

The mountain roads were too rough to ride a horse. Shen Gu led the people for more than an hour, and suddenly there was a snapping sound of birds flapping their wings overhead, and then a swift eagle swooped towards them.

Yicheng has a letter.

The henchman took the letter from the eagle's leg and handed it to Shen Gu, who looked at it a few times and his eyes began to flicker.

His subordinates were still very efficient, and it took a few hours to find out. The gentry in these places are somewhat unclean, but there is no major problem with the Huang family itself. It was only when he was questioned that the three largest medicine stores in Pinggu County all mentioned that the old squire surnamed Huang had been in poor health in recent years, and he had been haunted by the sickbed and had to rely on expensive medicine to recuperate. But since last year, he no longer went to the medicine store in Pinggu County, but bought medicine from a person known as "Granny Mu".

And the medicinal herbs provided by that person have an excellent effect, and after two years of nourishment, he can go out normally.

The little beggar approached the Yellow House last night, does it have anything to do with it?

There are more and more mysteries: "No one in the medicine store knows who Granny Mu is?" The note said that the medicine store had never heard of Granny Mu before, and he had never seen her face.

That's weird. These shops have been in operation in Pinggu County for several years to decades, and the nearby medicine pickers and medicine farmers have known each other. The number of people in this circle is already small, and they know each other's roots, how can there be an outsider born out of nowhere, and they are all excellent medicines when they make a move?

The county lieutenant of Pinggu waited on the side for a long time, and then finally had the opportunity to speak: "Lord Shen, we have gone deep into the Poison Fang Mountain, and there is a core area in front of us, and few people have entered it in recent years. ”

At this time, Shen Gu should pay attention to the opinions of the locals: "Have you walked this road?"

"Walk through. The county lieutenant's face was not very good-looking, "The mountain bandits' lair is built in the depths of the Poison Fang Mountain. ”

"You mean, we're walking towards the bandits' lair now?" The mountain road is indeed getting more and more rugged, and the traces of the predecessors are not obvious. The birds here are singing and the mountains are secluded, and the trees are so dense that they can't see the sky, and it is indeed an old forest in the deep mountains.

The county lieutenant looked up at the sky: "In terms of direction, it is very similar." In the depths of the Poison Fang Mountain, a poisonous miasma floats out, and the mountain bandits use it as a barrier. We were ordered to cut it down twice, but we were unsuccessful, and we also folded and folded many people's hands. ”

"Miasma?" Shen Gu pointed forward, "Just like that?"

Fifty zhang away, wisps of mist drifted in the dense forest.

It's no surprise that the mountains are foggy. However, this mist is actually light pink, and in the current dim light, it is not only demonic, but even weird.

"Exactly!" said the county lieutenant solemnly, "The first two times I encountered miasma on the way to suppress the bandits, and the people in this poison were immediately dizzy, and if they were not rescued in time, they would die." After the injured moved back, they lingered on the sickbed for several days, and most of them eventually died of swelling all over their bodies, and the medicine stone was ineffective. ”

"We invited the most famous Zhang family Heavenly Master within 500 miles, but we couldn't drive away these poisonous miasma. His face was solemn, "My lord, think twice about moving forward." "If something happens to the pacification envoy at the boundary of Pinggu County, he can't afford this responsibility.

Shen Gu snorted, turned his head and called, "Mr. Zuo Shen Zuo is here?"

Among the elites he brought, one person came out of the crowd. This is a long-robed scribe, about forty years old, with a white face and a slightly blessed figure.

Shen Gu treated him much more politely than the county lieutenant: "Please ask Mr. Zuo to meet the poisonous miasma for a while." ”

Left jaw deep, turned and walked towards the fluttering pink mist.

As soon as he approached, the powder miasma immediately surrounded him, and he couldn't wait, as if he had life in itself.

A faint blue light immediately appeared around the left deep body, isolating the powder miasma. The latter seemed to be unwilling, and the miasma in the front and back, left and right rolled for a while, and they all gathered over. The color of the mist immediately darkened, and there were also wisps drifting towards everyone, as if they knew that they were in the same group as Zuo Shen.

Zuo Shen took out a small brass bell in his hand and shook it lightly twice. In the sound of "ding", the blue light around the body was greatly vibrating.

Anyone can see that he has increased the spell, which shows that this poisonous mist is really a bit powerful. But when the bell rang, the fog was like a signal, and it rushed towards him, like a swarm of sharks smelling blood.

Shen Gu was skeptical: "The poisonous miasma is so powerful, that kid can go over safely and sound?"

The man in charge of tracking said in a tight voice, "The trail does extend here. "The most important thing is that there is a mountain stream ahead, and there are cliffs on both sides, and unless the boy they want to catch turns into a bird and flies up, they can only go here.

The county lieutenant standing beside Shen Gu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. From his point of view, Zuo Shen was shrouded in a cloud of hunting pink, and he couldn't even see the figure clearly. He had never seen such a thick miasma, and the little mist that used to float around killed and disabled most of the county soldiers.

It can be seen that this Mr. Zuo is much more powerful than the stranger invited by the official office last time.

He praised here, but Mr. Zuo was in some trouble.

The powder mist fell on his protective qi, only he knew, and the layer of the gang qi made a slight snorting sound - this powder mist was so corrosive!

The worst thing is that the bronze bell in his hand, the originally smooth surface is also glowing patina, and the rust is getting bigger and bigger, and in just ten breaths, it spreads to the entire copper bell!
