On the winding mountain road from Wudang County to Nanyang City, Zhong Zhengxiong, Bai Ruxue, Chu Wenjing, Fu Qingyun, as well as Jia Fu and Zhou Ren walked together all the way, while Zhao Linyan stayed in Wudang County to help.

Zhong Zhengxiong had a sand belt tied around his shoulder, he was only injured, and after a night's rest, he applied the healing medicine given by Bai Ruxue, and most of the injuries were healed.

From Wudang County to Nanyang County, the road is no longer a high mountain pass, but the road is still rugged and difficult. Along the way, from time to time, you can see characters in different costumes, hurrying, and the refugees who flock to the mountains are walking with their backs.

Seeing the large group of uprooted villagers dragging men and women, helping the old and the young, pushing wheelbarrows, carrying meager belongings and fleeing around, their expressions were very sad, and several people were in a very depressed mood, so they simply gave all the food on their bodies to the fleeing villagers.

"Xing, the people are suffering, and when they die, the people are even more bitter!" looked at the villagers who were struggling to move forward on the mountain road, and sighed as white as snow.

Jia Fu also sighed: "The reckless government has brought disaster to the country, the army has been in turmoil, the government has fallen into decline, and the common people have no way to survive in the world, and their lives are better than mustard." In this troubled world, if we can find the master, our generation should join the army, throw away their heads and spill their blood, lay a happy land for the common people in the world, and save the people from fire and water!"

Bai Ruxue said: "Gang Master Jia has this ambition, and Bai admires it." But in this troubled world, there are many heroes, but how many of them are people who have the world in mind?"

Zhong Zhengxiong said: "I heard that the descendants of the Han family, Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, are benevolent and righteous, and they pulled up a 'Chungling Army' in Chungling, also known as the 'Han Army', and have the ambition to restore the Han Dynasty. The Liu Xuan brothers governed the army strictly, and did not commit any offense to the common people, which was very different from other rebels, and was called the teacher of benevolence and righteousness by the common people. ”

Chu Wenjing and Fu Qingyun looked at each other and smiled, Fu Qingyun said: "Don't hide it, Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu are the two brothers with different surnames of the younger brother." The two brothers were not only benevolent and wise, but also concerned about the well-being of all people, and were often worried about what happened to the people of Dawn. ”

"Oh!" Jia Fu said in surprise: "If you have the opportunity, I hope that the Qingyun brothers will introduce you on your behalf." ”

Several people were chatting while rushing to Nanyang County. Although they have only known each other for a day, several people are like-minded, they are all open-minded, bold and bold people, walking on songs, although the mountain road is rugged and difficult, but I don't feel how tired.

By the time the sun had set, several people walked out of a shallow mountain. On the north side of the remaining veins of the mountain peak, there is a gentle hilly terrain, and the mountains are crisscrossed by rivers and rivers. Surrounded by the confluence of two large rivers, an open city appeared in front of several people.

"It's time to Huyang County, which is the only way from Wudang County to Nanyang County. Jia Fu said happily: "I happened to rest in Huyang tonight, and I should be able to go to Nanyang tomorrow." ”

Zhou Ren also said happily: "The dry food was given to the fleeing villagers, and I starved to death, so I just went to Huyang to treat my stomach." ”

Several people laughed when they heard this, not depressed by hunger, but sincerely happy to give the villagers a little funding as much as they could.

was happy, a few people came in front of him, the first one was holding a spirit flag, followed by two people carrying a bamboo frame, crying and crying.

Fu Qingyun and the others stopped to make way. When a few people passed by, Fu Qingyun turned his head to look, and saw a stiff dead corpse lying on the bamboo shelf, looking less than twenty years old, with twisted cheeks and shrunken flesh and blood, like a dried corpse scorched by the scorching sun in the desert, and the death was extremely terrifying. But what was even more terrifying was that the man's eyes were wide open, and there was obviously a lewd and weird smile on his face.

Fu Qingyun hurriedly turned his head, and in the corner of his eye, he saw that Bai Ruxue and several people were shocked.

Several people continued to move forward in a muffled voice, and Jia Fu broke the silence and asked, "Brother Bai, do you see that person just now, did he die a little strangely?"

Bai Ruxue nodded: "It's like being excited and happy to die." ”

Fu Qingyun was puzzled: "But the smile on the deceased's face is extremely abnormal, with an obvious obscene taste. ”

Chu Wenjing speculated: "Is it the wrong to eat hallucinogenic plants, some plants will make people have obscene psychedelic scenes." ”

Zhong Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." Look at the flesh on his face shrunk and twisted, without a trace of moisture, as if he had been sucked dry by zombies. ”

Several people continued to move forward with doubts in their stomachs, crossed a long stone arch bridge, and came to the outside of the not too high city walls of Huyang City.

Huyang County and Wudang County are both located in remote mountainous areas, and the rebel army has not yet affected here, but the defense of the city gate has been significantly strengthened, and the guards guarding the city are extremely strict.

Several people were dressed as people from the rivers and lakes, and after being closely checked by the guards, they entered the city.

As soon as I entered the city gate, a team of mourners marched towards the city gate, blowing mourning music, scattering paper money, crying and grabbing the ground.

Several people stopped to step aside, and when the shelf carrying the corpse passed, a gust of wind blew and lifted the white towel covering the deceased's face. Everyone casually looked over and was once again stunned by the dignity of the deceased.

I saw that the deceased was a young male face again, and his face still had that terrifying and strange obscene smile.

"Hey, I'm afraid it's another person who has been sucked by the fox demon. An old man next to him sighed.

Another person next to him said: "This is the third person sent today." ”

A few people's stomachs rumbled, no longer paying attention to the strange things in front of them, and ran straight to a restaurant with a "food first" sign in front of them.

"Buy, lock people's chains, there are only a few left!" A vendor walked in front of the restaurant, selling and shouting as he walked.

A few young people quickly came out of the restaurant, gathered around, took out copper plates and scrambled to buy them. One of the young men said, "Merchant, is your chain secure?"

"Of course it's stable!" the vendor said in a loud voice, "My chain is specially built." Before nightfall, let your family lock your hands and feet on the bed, even if you hear the sound of the fox demon's flute, you will be confused, and you will definitely not be able to break free. ”

A few young men bought a chain, took the chain to check it for a long time, and went back to the restaurant to continue eating.

Zhou Renqi said: "Hey! It's really weird, and there are people who lock their hands and feet with chains." ”

Jia Fu said: "Let's go, go over and ask, what's going on." A few people couldn't hold back their curiosity, held back the hunger in their stomachs, and walked towards the vendors first.

When the merchant saw Jia Fu and the other six people coming, he was puzzled: "A few guest officers, there is still one last one left, which of you will buy it?"

Jia Fu smiled and said: "Merchant, we don't buy chains, we just want to ask you, what are you doing with this chain?"

"Young man, you are from out of town, don't you know about this fox demon?" said the vendor.

"Exactly, we are from Wudang County. Jia Fu said.

The vendor nodded and said, "Oh, then I'll tell you, you are all young and strong, so you have to be careful." ”

"This fox demon has been making a fuss for a few days. The first one to be hooked by the fox demon is the son of the boss of the Chengdong rice store, I witnessed it with my own eyes. On that day, I happened to go to Boss Zhang's place to buy rice, and his son-in-law was also there, suddenly a fragrant breeze wafted by, I looked back, and saw a delicate woman like a flower under the moonlight. ”

"Tsk, that woman was really beautiful, enchanting and soul-stirring. The woman passed by the rice shop and smiled at Boss Zhang's son, and he was hooked to his soul and followed the woman stupidly. Boss Zhang and I chased all the way, but the son ran as fast as if he was a heavy demon, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”

The next day, three young men's bodies were found in an inn, one of which was Boss Zhang's son. The three of them died very strangely, their bodies were sucked clean, and they turned into dried corpses overnight. The county came to examine the body, and the county master asked about the situation, and concluded that the case was done by the fox demon. ”

"Huyang County is not big, and the matter of the fox demon spread all over the county at once. Everyone knows that the fox demon came out at night to hook the soul of the young man, so before it was dark, the young man hid in the house early and did not dare to go out. ”

"Who knew that in the night, out of nowhere, there was a flute sound, and the men who heard the flute sound were all confused, and their animal nature was furious, and they broke free from the care of their families and ran out of the door. ”

"For three days in a row, three young men were poisoned by the fox demon every day, and people were panicked for a while. So, no, I specially designed a chain and asked the blacksmith of Chengxi Wu to build it, as long as I locked my hands and feet before nightfall, I was not afraid that the straw rope would be broken. ”

"There is such a miracle?" Zhong Zhengxiong said in astonishment, "What does Brother Bai think?"

Bai Ruxue shook her head blankly, her brows furrowed, thoughtful.

A few people came to the restaurant with a few glasses of wine in their hearts, and Zhou Ren said: "Is there really a fox demon in this Huyang?"

Jia Fu said: "There are demons in troubled times, I'm afraid that there are really spirits who come out to make trouble." ”

"Hmm!" Zhong Zhengxiong nodded and said: "The fox demon is the best at confusing people's hearts, and we who practice martial arts, as long as our mental skills are correct, we are not afraid of her demon magic fascination." ”

Fu Qingyun was the youngest among the pedestrians, and although he knew that there were no spirits in the world, it was not good for him to refute the three leaders of the Qinglong Gang in person, so he just quietly listened to the discussion of a few people.

"What do you think of the brothers?" Jia Fu asked.

Chu Wenjing said: "There may be something about the fox demon, but what is verified to be true is mostly man-made disasters." ”

"The contemptible people have been with the mountains since childhood, but they have not seen any spirits to haunt them. Bai Ruxue's slender fingers slowly turned the wine glass in her hand, and she muttered: "Looking at the strange way of death of the deceased, it is likely that it is the work of demons." ”
