Three days later, the team to send off relatives in Luoxia County set off early.

From Luoxia County to Baishui City, the middle journey is not short, and it is estimated that it will take at least fifteen years for the Yan family's team to reach Baishui City.

When they set off, Meng Juntong and Yan Hong got into the same carriage.

It's only been two days since they've known each other, but these two girls are already as good as sisters. Almost inseparable from any occasion.

As for Xue Ding, he will always be with Yan Fengyi.

These two people are about the same age, both are martial arts people, and they were both from the military, so there are a lot of topics along the way.

Since Xue Ding fused Xue Ying's Yuan Soul, his personality has also been affected a little, and he has gradually become cheerful.

You may not be aware of it on a daily basis, but if you look closely, you will find that he has a lot more words than in the past. Talking with Yan Fengyi from martial arts to marching and fighting, it can be said that it is very fateful.

"Lord Wang, there is Heixi Tower Village in front, and if you go up again, it will be the Baishui River. The person who spoke rode on the side of Yan Fengyi and Xue Ding.

This person is a gray-haired man, although he has crane hair, but his face is quite young, looking like he is forty or fifty years old, and he is in the prime of life.

Yan Fengyi introduced that this is the six-grade little master who walked with them, named Bai Xing, who was his martial arts teacher, and once followed the old county king to live and die.

Although he is now in his seventies, because of the ascension of the martial arts realm and the vigorous qi and blood, his face has always remained young.

For Bai Xing, Yan Fengyi is very trusting, and he is also very respectful, this trip to Baishui City, all the plans were discussed by him and Bai Xingxing.

"Heixita Village, didn't it say that there was a corpse plague half a year ago. A young man caught up from behind with a horse's belly.

This person is another disciple of Bai Xing named Wei Ling, who can be regarded as Yan Fengyi's junior disciple, who has been traveling around the rivers and lakes all these years and polishing martial arts.

Less than forty years old, he has already entered the realm of a little grandmaster, and he is also one of the masters of his peers this time.

Half a month ago, Bai Xing recalled him by letter.

"Master, senior brother, this corpse plague is not a joke, let's change the route. "Wei Ling has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he can be regarded as well-informed, and he knows many things.

Yan Fengyi stopped his horse, took out the map from the package and opened it.

"This Heixita Village is stuck on the road we must go through, there are many mountains on both sides of it, and there are large areas of black forest, if you want to detour, you need to go around from here, a big circle. Yan Fengyi read the map, and his fingers pointed and drew on the map.

Bai Xing on the side shook his head: "A detour will not work, according to the king's will, we must send the county lord to Baishui City before the end of the month to marry Lan Ning." If we detour, I'm afraid we will have to walk for at least half a month, so we won't be able to catch up with our trip. ”

"Safety seems to be more important than the trip. Schröding interjected a rare sentence.

Bai Xing shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Xue doesn't know, Lan Ning's temperament is tyrannical, and this time there is Wang Shangsheng's purpose for this, if he arrives in Baishui City half a day late, I'm afraid he will take advantage of this to make trouble, and our plan is likely to fall short." ”

Yan Fengyi shook his head: "The detour won't work, then take Heixi Tower Village, that road is faster, there is a day and night to pass through, let's be careful on the road." ”

The group took a short break on the side of the road and continued on the road.

Meng Juntong sat in the car, with a beautiful face, and Xue Ding could hear what they said clearly.

She turned her head to Yan Hong, who was sitting on the other side of the car, and asked, "Sister Yan, is the corpse plague they said terrifying, I haven't seen Brother Xue before, so serious." ”

Just now Schröding also put forward the idea of making a detour, if it is not so dangerous, with Schröding's temperament, he will definitely not say this in one more move.

Yan Hong's little face turned slightly pale, and Wei Ling told her about it as soon as she returned to the county king's mansion.

At that time, Yan Hong just regarded it as a strange anecdote, so casually.

There have been rumors of corpse disasters on this side of Heixi Tower Village since ancient times, and according to legend, there is a mountain range behind Heixi Tower Village, called Yin Soul Ridge.

The locals have such a saying, called rather around the hundred miles of mud and the road, not half an inch of Yin Soul Ridge.

Every few decades, there will be a corpse plague in Heixi Tower Village, and the source of the corpse plague all points to the mysterious and terrifying Yin Soul Ridge.

What Wei Ling heard was that because this year's harvest was not very good, the people of Heixita Village did not have enough grain reserves for the winter.

For those villagers who have a small share of the burden, when they encounter this situation, they either go to the neighboring village to borrow grain for the winter, or simply collect their stomachs and survive the winter.

But there are exceptions, and there will always be some stunned people who are bold and not afraid of things.

Everyone knows that the area of Yin Soul Ridge is a famous fertile soil area within a few hundred miles. If it weren't for its terrifying veil, I am afraid it would have been taken away by the government long ago.

There are many natural wild medicinal materials in the Yin Soul Ridge, and there are also mountain and forest beasts running endlessly.

Medicinal herbs are just good in good condition and can be sold at a good price, as for good animal skins, not to mention, those rich people in big towns are casually spending a lot of money.

It was because of this that several young people in the village had crooked thoughts.

Nearly 30 years have passed since the last corpse disaster, and the young people of this generation rarely listen to the older generation talk about the past.

In addition, a few years ago, there were really a few guys who were blessed with great fortune, dug up old ginseng in the mountains, caught the best mink, went to the city to exchange money, and went back to the village to build a house and take relatives, which attracted the eyes of I don't know how many people.

If it weren't for the admonition of the older generation, I'm afraid I don't know how many people ran into the Yin Soul Ridge.

This time, there are three hairy boys in the village, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they have to gamble on their luck.

It's just that obviously, this time their luck was not good, and this time they disappeared into the mountain, and it was a full half a month as soon as they disappeared.

Half a month later, a woodcutter who was chopping wood on the mountain found the bodies of the three young men on a wild slope a few miles outside the ridge.

I originally thought that the three little ones were unlucky and were attacked by wild beasts in the mountains.

However, when they approached their bodies, they found that the bodies of the three were all intact, except for a row of tooth marks on each of their necks.

And the bodies of the three of them were already thin and blue, as if they had been drained of their essence and blood by something.

The woodcutter was also old and knowledgeable, and knew that the three people had caused a corpse disaster, so he hurriedly ran back to the village to find someone.

But by the time the village chief took a village of young men and rushed up to the wild slope with torches, ready to burn the bodies of the three young men, the three men were no longer there.
