Sixty-six times: Deep at the foot of the mountain, Ouchi explores the secret, and the pothos vine plays Xunxing three times
"It's hard for me to tell the government under my jurisdiction. Li Defei said.
Pu Mu then moved his gaze to the horse's hooves, the carrier pigeons fell to the ground horizontally, the feathers were still stained with blood, and a few of them were even more blurred with flesh and blood, Pu Mu only thought about going to the boulder to see if the poplars and Guo Yuren were here, and did not notice the corpses of these carrier pigeons next to the horses.
Looking at the trunk of the tree with the marks of Bai and Guo, Pu Mu fell into contemplation that the carrier pigeon was killed, and Bai Yang and Guo Yu disappeared, while leaving their own marks on the trunk. This scene, thinking that the couple didn't see it just now, the boulder of the green pothos village disappeared for no reason, looking at the couple's foot strength, it should have arrived soon after they crossed the boulder, otherwise they wouldn't have met here, could it be the couple?
"I think this mountain is already the tiger's den in Longtan, so I'll leave this place as soon as possible," Duan Gan said treacherously.
Pu Mu raised his hand and said: "No, Bai Yang and Guo Yu are afraid of being in danger, if I wait to go down the mountain at this moment, I think they will be more than lucky." ”
Duan Gan said treacherously: "Brother Pu misunderstood what I meant, the marks left by Brother Bai and Brother Guo were not left in a hurry...... This is a little different from the mark left by Xia Ming when we saw it on the mountain. Thinking that it is already dangerous to come to the mountain, the road taken by Brother Bai is unknown at the moment, we might as well evacuate the mountain, and send a message to the government under the jurisdiction of the mountain to close the mountain ......" Duan Gan Weifeng only saw the clues on the trunk, and the rest of the abnormalities were not found, and the plan he said was only a rough idea, so he did not continue to speak in detail.
After hearing this, Li Defei and Pu Mu approached the trunk again, and looked closely at the marks left by the poplar and Guo Yu were indeed different from the marks made by Xia Ming. Pu Mu said: "Could it be that the two of them found some kind of anomaly before leaving a mark and waiting with me to visit it themselves? But what is the explanation of the carrier pigeons all over the place?
"But why did you turn the tiger away from the mountain just to destroy our carrier pigeons?" said Li Defei, and with that, he searched the parcel on the horse, and there was nothing missing in the package except for the dead carrier pigeons.
Duan Gan said treacherously: "This is more and more like a tiger leaving the mountain." Why don't I go with Brother Pu to investigate along the road pointed out by the mark, Brother Li withdrew from the mountains and returned to the Han village, and asked him to go to the county seat to transfer people to close the mountain. If I wait for an hour to come back, I will discuss it carefully, and if I fail to return on time, I will also ask Brother Li to transfer more people to search the mountain. ”
Li Defei said: "Brother Duan, although your light skills are superior, my light skills are only a millimeter away from yours, and in this dense forest, my sound transmission internal skills have a significant effect on resisting the enemy." If you talk about making plans, Brother Pu is far above me, and if I am left to dispatch troops to deal with the enemy, it is better to leave Brother Pu down to coordinate the deployment. ”
After thinking about it, Pu Mu said: "This dense forest path, don't say that the two of you, even if I wait for the three of us to go, it is ......extremely dangerous" Pu Mu fell into thought, if he didn't go at the moment, Duan Gan Weifeng and Li Defei went to investigate, there would be less help, and they felt uneasy all the time in the mountains and forests, coupled with the bizarre disappearance of Baiyang and Guo Yu, which made Pu Mu feel at ease; However, neither of these strategies is the best strategy, and it seems inevitable that they can be compromised.
Pu Mu has never had to face the loss of his colleagues, and it is naturally not difficult for him to make a decision.
Duan Gan said treacherously: "Brother Pu, don't hesitate at this moment. ”
After hearing this, Pu Mu said: "Then I will stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for the two brothers to return, if the two brothers find a good cottage on this road, this matter is not a last resort, or not to alarm those villagers." ”
Li Defei and Duan Gan also nodded frequently, they had experienced the panic of the people created by the Heavenly Dao It is not the divine weapons that kill people in this world, but these words that cannot be seen or touched, for them, it is much more difficult to kill the enemy than to make the people trust the imperial court.
I don't know if there are those small picture albums that have been circulated in the mountains of southeast Guizhou, such as Beijing, Ganliangfu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. I don't know what mysteries have been laid here?
It is only said that Li Defei and Duan Gan Weifeng walked in the direction pointed by the mark, and Pu Mu drove the horse down the mountain to wait for the signs of everyone in the Great Interior, they can point out the direction, but each person marks the southeast and northwest in a slightly different way, this pair of marking method, in the month of the establishment of the Ouchi, everyone has practiced no less than a thousand times, at any juncture, can point out the direction.
Pu Mu looked back at Fang Cai's road before going down the mountain, and the doubts in his heart about the couple had not been dispelled. The timing of the couple's appearance was too coincidental and too inappropriate for the timing of all this. But now it is the best policy to find the traces of Baiyang and Guo Yu, if you go the same way to find the couple, I am afraid that other incidents will happen. And at this moment the enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light, it seems that the enemy is always aware of their movements, otherwise they will not have set up a lot of doubts before they come here, and they must cooperate well so that they cannot fall into the trap set by the enemy. However, he was still worried about whether Duan Gan and Li Defei would be able to meet this strange couple again.
Li Defei and Duan Gan looked along the mark, and saw the mark carved by the two on the trunk of the tree next to the mountain road, but along the way, Li Defei noticed that there were no footprints of the two on the road. "Brother Duan, I haven't seen the footprints of Brother Bai and Brother Guo along the way. ”
Duan Gan stopped his steps, turned his head to Li Defei and said: "Brother Guo and Brother Bai's light skills are all superior, if there is a difference, the two of them should have chased after them, and they didn't leave footprints on this trail."
Not a strange thing. ”
Li Defei looked back at the trail, shook his head, and said, "We haven't performed light skills along the way, and we haven't left footprints in order to find out the marks left by Brother Bai and Brother Guo for us. ”
Li Defei and Duan Gan turned their heads to look, and sure enough, there were no footprints of the two of them on the trail. There was a cold wind, and there was a sound from the bushes next to them, and the two of them looked around, only to see some pothos vines coming down from under the surrounding trees.
"It's these pothos vines again. Li Defei said.
Duan Gan said treacherously: "Your Excellency is hidden deep in the dense forest, and these strange vines and green grasses come here to pretend to be ghosts, so a green worm beetle, really like a small insect, only dare to hide in the leaves and flowers, and do some biting things." ”
"Brother Duan is right, what 'Hongmeng hides the real hand', it's just a trick to bluff children. Don't pretend to be a ghost. Li Defei said.
The two walked forward back to back as they spoke, and Li Defei said, "The little insect in the jungle, I guess it crawled away." ”
Duan Gan smiled slyly: "Cowardly worm, I'm afraid it's still peeking at the two of us in the dense forest, waiting for an opportunity." It is undeniable that this little worm's moves are indeed clever. There's nothing we can do about it. In the future, we will need to figure out a lot about this method. ”
Li Defei said with a smile: "What my brother said is reasonable, this method is very high, if we can't control the enemy in the future, we will hide in the jungle and set up a maze, which is a good way." ”
The two of them walked as they spoke, spinning back to back, but there was still no movement in the dense forest. The dense forest has come to an end, in front of him is a chain bridge, behind the chain bridge is a path, the path leads to the two of them do not know, the words of the two of them are to provoke the other party to make a move in the dark, so as to judge the strength of the other party, but just like this, they walked slowly like a lamp, and did not find anything abnormal. Except for the pothos vine that had just fallen from the tree, there was nothing unusual at all.
When the two reached the side of the chain bridge, they stopped, and looked at the road they had just walked, and there were still no footprints on the road. There was a noise in the bushes, and the two looked up to see that there were a few squirrels running from one end of the tree to the other.
Duan Gan looked at the chain bridge closely, put on the deerskin gloves and stroked it, and said: "This chain bridge has not been walked by anyone for a long time, and the leaves under this iron bridge and the ravine are all over the place. Did Brother Bai and Brother Guo cross the bridge?"
Li Defei said: "Will Brother Bai and Brother Guo cross the bridge with light skills, I think they think there is something wrong with the bridge, or the person they are tracking is running fast and crossing the bridge with light skills, or ......"
Duan Gan interrupted Li Defei's words and said, "Even if Brother Bai and Brother Guo both use light skills, hasn't anyone taken this road before?"
Li Defei said: "Why don't I wait and jump over the bridge to see if there are any marks left by Brother Bai and Brother Guo on that path." ”
After that, Duan Gan Weifeng jumped to the other side of the bridge first, only to see Duan Gan Weifeng freeze his body, looking at the other side of the bridge, he felt that his eyes were a little blurry, and the opposite side of the bridge seemed to be unable to see anything clearly.
Duan Gan was shocked and rubbed his eyes, but the opposite side became more and more blurry, and gradually became dark green.
"Brother Li," Duan Gan shouted.
But there was no response all around, and he looked back at the path, which was unusual. Duan Gan's strange style was very strange, but after being shocked, he also understood that he had fallen into the trap of the other party, and the opposite side seemed to be covered by a huge dark green thick cloth at this time, and he couldn't see it clearly at all.
Duan Gan Weifeng condensed, a mouthful of Daomen Gang Qi was raised to his chest, his right hand held the hilt of the sword, and he tried to move forward step by step, and there was a sound in the paths on both sides, at this time, the sword was directly out of the sheath, and the sword blade was together, and the sword qi directly swept over the leaves on both sides of the path, and those leaves fell to the ground, and among these leaves, I saw some pothos vines.
"The child who pretends to be a ghost has the courage to come out and compete" Duan Ganfeng shouted, as if this internal force rushed straight in all directions, shaking the trees next to the path. The roar was followed by the silence that had just been. At this time, only Duan Gan Weifeng was breathing, Duan Gan Weifeng was panting, he didn't expect that it would be like this after the chain bridge.
Duan Gan Weifeng continued to walk, but there was still no sound on the path, and the silence at this time would only make Duan Gan Weifeng continue to fear. His steps grew smaller and slower. As soon as the cool breeze blew, Duan Gan felt that the wind was coming out from behind, so he immediately turned his head to look, only to see that the road behind him was also covered by those dark greens.
There was only a gasp of dry wind in the path, and his reason was gradually being consumed by these dark greens. There was no rival in front of him, only this trail, a trail that walked forward, as if there was no end in sight.
The sword dragged the ground away, the tendons on Duan Gan's temples were very tight, he didn't know where Bai Yang and Guo Yu were, he didn't know if Li Defei was also on the trail, and he didn't know how he would deal with such a strange situation. It is only said that Duan Gan Wei Feng walked about 100 steps, there is a small stream at the end of the path, and on the other side of the stream is a stone road up the mountain, the stone road is rugged, it seems that only one person can pass, Duan Gan Wei Feng jumped over the stream. Turning his head to look at the stream, he still looked like a square, and the opposite bank in front of him was dark green.
Do you still have to go up the gravel road in front of you Duan Gan stood on the other side of the stream and looked at the dark green behind him he just walked forward but whenever he turned his head or When I looked around, there was no such dark green in front of me. Duan Gan remembered that after jumping over the chain bridge and turning his head, his eyes were blurry at first, and then turned dark green. But I didn't come near at all, or go back, and if I did, would I be able to see it again, was it because of the grass and trees of the jungle, or was it the strange pothos?
But if you enter that place, what kind of scene will it be? Will it be another trap, or will Li Defei be in the same situation as himself? If he goes back to the road, maybe he can run into Li Defei again?
Duan Gan Weifeng couldn't make a decision at this time, and there was nothing unknown in front of him, even along the way. He has never been afraid of anything, since he got off Longhu Mountain and entered this river and lake, he didn't know what fear was, but today, there is no strong enemy, only behind this incomprehensible dark green, where is Duan Gan's companion who is fearing?
With restless speculation, reason will slowly dissolve. Duan Gan Weifeng had rarely escaped the chaos in Fang Cai's mind at this moment, thinking about how to deal with such an unsettling scene.
"Now I'm alone in a strange dark green, and I don't know what the other brothers are like. Thinking that the enemy has already divided us and the others one by one, I am afraid that I have already tried to break them one by one. Duan Gan's voice was very small, and at this time, his heart seemed to be unable to fill this voice, so he could only come out of his mouth, telling himself how to think about the current situation.
It was quiet, except for the sound of the stream that did not completely cover his words.
The sword in Duan Gan's hand was clenched very tightly, but in front of him except for the dark green when it came, it was all peaceful, where should this sword go? But the more eerie and peaceful it was, the more terrifying it became.
At this time, something strange happened, and a lotus flower floated against the current in the distance of the stream. This lotus flower is blue, and the inside of the petals is still a little black, not to mention where the lotus flower comes from in this dense forest, it is also a strange thing to go up the current like this. Duan Gan Wei Feng did not come close, but just watched the lotus flower float past him, the stream meandered, the lotus flower was not blocked by the momentum of the stream, and after bypassing a bend, Duan Gan Wei Feng did not see it again.
Duan Gan's sword had not yet been unsheathed, but at this time he had already heard the movement, it was not the sound of the stream, this dense forest rustling the leaves, there were other sounds.
A few young men came down the gravel road, and they were dressed as young people from the village. Duan Gan looked at the young men who came down the mountain in front of him, and there was a doubt in his heart: the enemy had set up a fake pothos village in the mountains, and some strange pothos vines were arranged in many places in the mountains, and there were also Xia Ming's unique marks in the mountains. In addition, Poplar and Guo Yu also left marks for them to find. These visions made Duan Gan and the others think that the mountains were not peaceful for a long time, and they were afraid that even the village had already suffered an accident, and the couple would be in trouble if they thought about it. But everything in front of him seemed to want to break the expectations of the three of them.
The young men walked down the gravel road with a smile, and were not startled to see this man with a sharp sword in his hand, and a young man came out a little and said, "Your Excellency...... Who is it?"
Duan Gan looked at the gang of young men in front of him, it was unknown whether these uninvited guests were friends or foes, and he spoke for a while, and said: "I just came to this mountain with my companion to collect medicine, but I didn't know that I walked to the foot of the mountain, but my companion found that he did not bring the medicine collection equipment, and now he goes to the hotel at the bottom of the mountain to get it." I saw that there was a trail here, so I walked over and looked at it. ”
The guy smiled: "It turned out to be Lang Zhong who was collecting medicine, but I just saw Lang Zhong with a murderous look and this sharp sword in his hand, and I think Lang Zhong will be unfavorable to us." ”
Duan Gan Weifeng put the sword into the scabbard and said with a smile: "Several little brothers have misunderstood, this mountain is dangerous, I heard that the village has not been peaceful these days, so I can only defend myself with a sword." ”
"Hey" The guy sighed, and someone in the crowd spoke, saying: "Such a bad thing, more and more people have heard about it, this village has always been peaceful, it is this black water incident." ”
"Lang Zhong, I think you know it. I waited for the past few days to go to the bottom of the mountain to fetch water, and just then my cousin went to fetch water and was disliked by those Han people, so I don't know what is so great about those Han people. Another guy said.
Duan Gan said treacherously: "Those little brothers went down the mountain to find the theory of the Han people under the mountain?"
The guy who was the first to talk to Duan Gan said: "Lang Zhong misunderstood, I'm not going to make trouble." I and a few others often play in the mountains when they are young, this stone road we often walk, here we know that there is a small pool, I don't know where the source is, but the water is very clear. Strange to say, this water is only available at this time, as long as the Bodhisattva has placed the lotus flower, the water will be available. ”
"Bodhisattva Swing Lotus?" Duan Gan said suspiciously.
The young man continued: "Lang Zhong didn't know, when I came when I was a child, I saw that there was a green lotus in this stream going upstream, and I waited along the lotus to get it, and at the end was a small pool, and when I arrived at the small pool, the green lotus swirled into the vortex with the water. Then we saw a natural stone statue of Guanyin by the side of the small pool, so we all said that this is the Bodhisattva put a lotus. ”
Duan Gan Weifeng felt strange, he did see Qinglian himself, but what the other party said was true or false, and he couldn't judge it at the moment, so he said: "Then why wait until the Bodhisattva puts the lotus before the stream can be used?"
The young man said, "If you go to fetch water in front of the Bodhisattva's lotus, the stream will dry up on the second day." ”
"Is there such a strange thing?" Duan Gan said treacherously.
"If Langzhong doesn't believe it, I can go to Xiaotan to have a look. The guy said.
