Chapter 976: Soul Search
"Childe, you ......" The stall owner and the old man wanted to say something more, but Murong Fu waved his hand and interrupted, "I have a last resort reason to go into the mountain, so the old man doesn't need to say more." ”
"This ...... Well, there are three routes into Yanshan, go straight north from Yanshan Town, there is a Honggu Village about forty or fifty miles away, and it is best to enter the mountain from there, and the other two, one is in the red tile shop in the west, which is almost more than a hundred miles away, and the other is in the Jiaomen Pass in the east, but it already belongs to the place where the army of Pingxi Wangfu is stationed. ”
After Murong Fu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Can't you enter the mountain from other places?"
"Childe doesn't know, Yanshan is full of thorns, there are a lot of poisonous insects and ants, I heard that in the depths of Yanshan, there are wild boars and tigers, it is very dangerous to rush into the mountain, if in normal times, Childe can also find a guide to guide the way, but now ......" The stall owner said in the end, but there was no sound, the meaning is self-evident.
Murong Fu nodded slowly, his eyes flickered for a while, and finally said, "Thank you, uncle, for saying goodbye." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the stall owner to say anything more, and got up to leave.
Since there happens to be a route near Yanshan Town to enter the mountain, Murong Fu naturally will not make any other choice, although he doesn't pay much attention to the thorns and poisonous insects in the mouth of the stall owner, he can have a better way, who is willing to give up the easy and difficult.
Soon, Murong Fu prepared some water, food and items needed to enter the mountain in the town, and rode north.
Forty or fifty miles away was only an hour away for him, and he saw a dilapidated small village in the distance, which must be the Honggu Village in the mouth of the stall owner and the old man.
But what surprised him was that there were tents standing near the village at this moment, roughly counting, there were more than 200 of them, there were army patrols between the tents, and in the distance, you could faintly see a black oppressive human head.
"Good guys, there are more than a thousand people. Murong Fu took a breath of cool air, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously he didn't expect that there were no less than a thousand troops at the entrance to the mountain, where is this town guard, it is enough to attack the mountain.
Murong Fu raised his eyes and glanced left and right a few times, the mountains and forests on both sides were endless, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, among which there were strange rocks and thorns everywhere, and a layer of pale black mist could be vaguely seen rising, hazy enveloping the entire Yanshan Mountain.
Only then did Murong Fu face up to what the old man said, there was a miasma in this Yan Mountain, which showed that the environment in the mountain must be extremely bad, and ordinary people who stayed in this mountain for a long time were afraid that they would be poisoned to death.
Of course, these miasma is naturally a piece of cake for him, who is invincible to all poisons.
Murong Fu retracted his thoughts, and his gaze fell on those tents again, flickering.
After a few moments, he flickered and disappeared into place, but instead of entering the camp directly, he made a detour from the right and swept towards Honggu Village.
With his current skills, it is difficult for others to detect his existence with the naked eye, and they can only see a faint white shadow, if it is not in the daytime, even this white shadow cannot be seen.
Soon, Murong Fu bypassed the tent and came to the entrance of Honggu Village, but to his surprise, there was no anger in the village, but there was a team of more than 100 troops guarding the entrance of the village, and there were more than a dozen light and dark sentry posts nearby, and there were also troops stationed in farther places, the total number was no more and less, exactly one thousand.
Murong Fu's figure was hiding behind an old locust tree, and the thought in his heart turned, these troops wearing black armor must be the black armor army under Wu Sangui, but this is too strange, sending so many people here, they only defend and not attack? Could it be that they are going to starve Ah Jiu to death in the mountains?
Murong Fu didn't have a clue after thinking about it for a while, so he simply put these thoughts behind him, no matter what Wu Sangui wanted to do, finding Ah Jiu first was the most important thing.
Just when he was about to make a move, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a huge yellow smoke and dust rising from the ground in the distance, and it was a cavalry team of more than 100 people, which was quickly sweeping towards Honggu Village.
Murong Fu's expression moved slightly, and he decided to wait and see what happened first.
After a while, the cavalry team arrived in front of the entrance of the village, and the defenders near the entrance of the village hurriedly met it.
"What's the matter, come out and answer!" The man at the head of the cavalry was in his forties, with a thin face and a long beard under his chin, and after holding the reins, he asked with a bit of arrogance.
One person hurriedly ran out of the defenders, a middle-aged man with a slightly dark face, and immediately saluted the leader of the cavalry, "See Xia Dutong, the last general Wang Dayou is the general of the defenders of Honggu Village." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be you. Seeing that the other party was so respectful and that there was nothing to find fault with the etiquette, the cavalry leader palened a little and asked, "Did you find it?"
The middle-aged man's face changed, "This ...... Someone has been sent to look for it, and no news has yet been returned. ”
"Hmph!" the cavalry leader's face suddenly turned cold, "Waste, give you two thousand black armor troops, seven days have passed, and there is no news at all!"
"Qi Qi is the capital, there is a miasma in this Yan Mountain, even if the Black Armor Army is in it, it can't stay long, not to mention ...... Ahh
The middle-aged man's face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly wanted to explain something, but the cavalry leader "snapped" and gave him a whip directly with a wave of the horsewhip in his hand.
"There are many excuses, and you can't do a little thing, what does the prince want you to do?" the cavalry leader scolded coldly.
"The last general will be guilty!" The middle-aged man was whipped, and he didn't dare to say anything more to explain, so he kowtowed directly and admitted his mistake.
"If you know your guilt, you will only 'know your guilt' and 'know your guilt', once the prince is really guilty, I'm afraid you can't afford to bear the guilt!" The cavalry leader sneered, and then said, "The prince has an order, three days, give you three more days, if you can't find it, you will wait to be wiped out by the nine clans!"
The middle-aged man's face was embarrassed, "Xia Dutong, can you give more time, and divide the Black Armor Army into two thousand-strong teams in the past few days, one team is responsible for guarding all the nearby exits and the other team is responsible for searching the mountains, so rotated, but there is still no news, I am afraid that the three days will be ......."
"Hmph!" the cavalry leader turned cold, "You idiot don't want to think about it, even the Black Armor Army can't survive for a long time in this mountain, what's the use of giving you more time?"
The middle-aged man woke up from him, and immediately thought of something, and his face turned extremely pale.
"Okay, don't look like a dead mother, in the past three days, you will scatter all the black armor troops, and the hundred black iron guards brought by Pontus will also enter the mountain to assist you. The cavalry leader said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face improved a lot, hesitated, and said, "Xia Dutong, such a large-scale search of the mountains, if you alarm that gang of rebels, will it ......?"
The cavalry commander sneered, "Do you think your actions are very secretive these days? ”
Murong Fu has been listening attentively to the conversation between the two, but the distance is a little far, and the wind is relatively strong, during which some of the words are vague, and he can only hear a rough idea, knowing that these troops seem to value Ah Jiu extremely much, and they want to find her at all costs.
This made Murong Fu a little puzzled, what did Ah Jiu do that made Wu Sangui so angry?
As he thought about it, the middle-aged man quickly assembled his army, and with a hundred cavalry, marched towards a valley behind Honggu Village, where only a hundred or so men were left in the camp to guard the horses and guard the exit.
After Murong Fu entered the mountain, he hung far behind, quietly sneaking into Yanshan, instead of searching aimlessly, it was better to follow behind these people, once there was any rumor, it was not too late to see the opportunity to act.
It's just that soon his wishful thinking came to naught, because after entering the mountain, these soldiers were all scattered and there were all directions, so that even if he found Ah Jiu, he would fall into a passive situation, and it was difficult for him to hide, and there was almost no space.
Murong Fu sighed, chose a direction based on his feelings, and looked for it by himself.
This Yan Mountain is worthy of being a well-known ancient forest, the mountain is filled with a strong wild atmosphere, poisonous insects, snakes and ants can be seen everywhere, thorns are everywhere, Rao is Murong Fu's skills, it is not easy to walk.
In the blink of an eye, half a day has passed, Murong Fu has gone all the way deep, and he doesn't know how far he has gone, but he hasn't even seen the slightest shadow of Ah Jiu, and he can't help muttering in his heart, although this Yan Mountain is very big, but Ah Jiu is not alone, there are hundreds of people in Wangwu Mountain behind him, how can there be no trace at all?
Murong Fu casually swung out a sword qi, cut off a vine blocking the way in front of him, looked up at the tall forest that covered the sky and the sun, and let out a long breath, standing in such a forest, it was inevitable that he was a little depressed in his heart.
Looking around, the soldiers who were originally all over the mountains and fields were gone, Murong Fu's mind turned, and suddenly his whole body was full of true anger, his throat twitched, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Where is Ah Jiu, come and see me!"
This voice rolled out, accompanied by the slightest strange fluctuation, the birds were shocked, and the insects retreated, which was one of Li Qiushui's masteries, the Dafa of Soul Searching.
At the beginning, after Murong Fu gave the black jade intermittent paste to Li Qiushui, Li Qiushui was moved, and taught him his own mastery, including this sound transmission soul searching Dafa, in addition to Bai Hong's palm power and other divine skills, but Bai Hong's palm power is profound and difficult to understand, even with Murong Fu's martial arts attainments, it is not possible to learn it in a short time.
This sound transmission soul search method sounds quite mysterious, in fact, it is a method that relies on the principle of sound propagation and impact, so as to achieve the purpose of positioning, of course, if there is no deep internal force and extremely keen hearing, it is not easy to refine this mastery.
Murong Fu is just a beginner now, and the search range that can be covered is only seven or eight miles away, as long as Ah Jiu appears in this range and responds, he can roughly find Ah Jiu's location, the disadvantage is that the consumption of true yuan is quite dramatic, and it is not suitable to use it more.
Then Murong Fu's body changed, and he flew for several miles at great speed, calling Ah Jiu's name as he flew, but he found nothing in the end.
