Chen Lu walked out, moved a few sentries at the door into the big tent, and then went to each big tent to do the same. Nalan was weak, only Chen Lu worked alone, and he himself was also very weak, sweating profusely. Carry Ha San to the big tent of the Chinese army, put it on Nalan's bed, then take out the talisman from the bag, write the word fire on the back, go out and paste it on each big tent, see how many are left, and paste it on the stable.

Finally, he put one in Nalan's hair and put a helmet on her. said: "Brother and sister, you will protect the big tent of the Chinese army, no matter how much trouble is made outside, you will not be able to hear it, let alone make a move." ”

"Why did you leave me alone, I don't dare. ”

"That's it, no more bargaining. With that, he walked out of the tent. Nalan followed suit. Seeing that Chen Lu was leaving, he pulled Chen Lu by the hand. In fact, Chen Lu misunderstood her and asked her to go to the salt well now, and she dared to go. It was too much responsibility to stay here, the whole camp was lifeless, and without someone else attacking, her own will was crushed first. What's more, she is still a full patient and an injured person, and she also needs to be taken care of and cared for by others.

Chen Lu gently took her hand away and said, "Brother and sister, be obedient, be good, I'll go back as soon as I go, maybe the third brother will wake up in a while, and you won't be alone at that time." ”

Nalan nodded weakly, Chen Lu shook his hand, resolutely walked out of the big tent, muttered a few words in Daqingma's ear, and rode towards the gate of the camp. When she dismounted and closed the camp gate, she glanced back at Nalan, who was standing at the door of the Chinese army's tent, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. Chen Lu's heart was sour, he hurriedly calmed down, patted the horse's head, and took off.

Chen Lu dismounted and looked around, it was completely different from the last time he came, it turned out to be a large manor, mixed with peanut trees, and green willows. A few women in white dresses came over, came to lead the horses, Zuo Si led people out of the door, and after a square, it was a tall staircase, with more than 100 steps.

They climbed the stairs, the bells and drums sounded in unison, and under a red umbrella, stood the mountain lord Qiushuang, and the girls in white dresses on both sides bowed down.

Chen Lu said with a smile: "This is a compliment, my old man can't stand it, I am usually used to being bullied by others, at first glance at this posture, I feel panicked." ”

The mountain lord said, "Please, I don't know why you panic?" After speaking, he walked into the main hall first. Chen Lu then walked into the main hall and said: "My old man remembers a sentence, courtesy to others, there must be something to ask, we don't want to reverse today." ”

Looking at the mountain lord again, he was already sitting on the throne, about twenty zhang away from the door, and the women in white dresses were also standing on both sides. Chen Lu said as he walked, and he also fluttered to the middle, and the mountain lord said, "So, you have something to ask me." ”

"Don't say who asks whom, first say your hospitality. We are still relatives, my old man is still the master, and you all came in first. This is your ghost realm, if this is in the other nine realms, it will make people laugh off their big teeth. ”

Chen Lu said that he had reached the bottom of the steps. Rong Mama said: "Dashuai, you have too many words, let's get down to business." ”

Chen Lu said: "Autumn frost girl, you should know my intention?"

"Nine times out of ten, what's the matter, I arrested your people?"

"Yes, conspiracy, if it is really a real sword, it may not lose to them. ”

"Then why bother coming to us, tell me how we can help you. ”

"Where they came from. ”

"Well, they're not ghosts, they are strictly weird. We usually don't interfere with the river water, but this time we robbed the baggage, and they did it. I was hurt by them too. ”

Do they also eat bread?

"Most of them have the same level of food and clothing as your realm, but they have a few salt lords who don't eat grains and feed on people. As for which salt owner it is, I don't know. ”

"It's so inhumane, there are so many delicious foods in the ten directions of the world, why do you eat people? Why don't you eat ghosts? Why don't you eat you, why?" everyone laughed.

The mountain lord said: "They were originally also salt, taking the essence of the ten directions of the universe, cultivating into a human form, wandering in the ten directions, it is difficult to cultivate into true immortals." Restricted by their own conditions, they can't eat things with salt, and things that don't smell salt are really hard to swallow, and after a long time, some of them will die little by little, without soul and soul, and even gradually ghosts have nothing to do, and all cultivation has come to naught. ”

Chen Lu didn't understand and asked, "Then cannibalism? What does this have to do with cannibalism?"

"Dashuai is so smart, don't you understand? Only human beings are salt-free and salty things, which can ensure the supply of physical signs for their cultivation. Some salt monsters took the risk, ignoring the ban of Our Lady of Taiyuan, risking being destroyed, and in a few days they would catch a person and eat it. ”

"I see, my old man is starting to blame humans, why it has to be salty, otherwise you wouldn't be treated like a two-legged sheep. Ay. Relatives, I wonder how they know that we are passing by, did you tell them, or how else would they have taken the baggage from you?"

"We were about to ask you," Mama Yung continued, "if it weren't for a few idiots of yours there, we wouldn't let them cut off their beards." Those stupid soldiers dug salt everywhere and alarmed them, and the salt in the ground was all connected. The salt monsters followed to the camp, knowing that the baggage had been robbed by us, and also knowing that you were going to ask for it, and lay down on the road to beat the sticks, and the head of the mountain lord was injured, and a dozen sisters were broken. Yesterday I was waiting for you in the woods, and they came to rob you again. There was a fight, and you arrived. They were afraid of the fire, so they ran away, and we broke two more sisters, not you idiots, how can there be so much to do?"

Chen Lu nodded secretly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Relative, your skills are good, why were you hurt by them?"

The mountain lord said: "I don't know what kind of weapons they use, the marshal should also be careful, I saw a white light, and a big cover appeared in front of me, I couldn't see or touch it." ”

"The people of our mission seem to have been poisoned, and they are covered in something like ice ballast. ”

The mountain lord said, "I really don't know what's going on, so you'd better go back early." Remember, if you want to find them, beat the broken drum on the beacon tower on the third watch, hang up the three curtain flags, and they will meet you. However, this beacon has an owner, and it is not certain that they will let you get close. ”

Chen Lu said: "Thank you for your advice. "He doesn't know the time now, and he doesn't dare to delay, so he will take his leave. The mountain lord said, "I don't think you need to go to them, they have to go to you, and your camp is afraid of suffering if you go back late." ”

This is exactly what Chen Lu was worried about, so he said goodbye and returned to the camp.

It was quite in time, the sun had not yet set, and Nalan looked at the door of the big tent. She had been to the Hungry Ghost Ridge, she couldn't tell the difference between yin and yang, and if she didn't put her mind to it, she had to delay for two days, and she was sad this night, she didn't know the bottom of her heart, and looked out over and over again.
