Deng Guimao was startled at first, and then quickly reacted, this voice was the voice of a playboy.

This young man is really not simple, he can actually speak to people with his heart.

The old man stood up lightly and came to Hua Wenxiang's side.

The summer moon is extraordinarily round and extraordinarily bright, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the earth, so that you can see everything around you without lighting a lamp.

Deng Guimao sat on the ground, and said in the first sentence: "Playboy, you are good people." ”

Hua Wenxiang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Can you tell me the story of this way, I'm curious." ”

In fact, he wanted to ask in the morning, but was interrupted by Ruan Guigui, if the guess was right, this group of people had a bad time along the way, because each of them did not have a trace of a smile on their faces.

The old man sighed, "It's a long story, but the playboy really wants to hear it?"

Hua Wenxiang nodded, "Anyway, we can't sleep, let's talk about it." ”

Deng Guimao's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and after a moment of silence, he said: "After the Great Ambiguity destroyed the country, Shengchang sent many people to rectify local officials and wealthy families in order to maintain long-term public order, but it was said that it was rectification, but in fact, it did not do anything excessive, at most, it was a verbal warning of some taboos, telling officials to behave in their own way with those rich people, and not to do useless acts." ”

In history, many people after the death of the country will set off a wave of restoration, and among these people, they are the most influential among the officials and the rich, so every time Shengchang destroys a country, he will spend a lot of energy to appease the people of the dead country.

Deng Guimao continued: "The Ruan family is a moderately wealthy family in Daqi, the family is in the porcelain business, every year to make a large number of goods for the imperial court, the income is extremely optimistic, but after the destruction of the country, this main business channel disappeared, the financial road was cut off, the Ruan family's head of the family was angry, began to insult the Shengchang Dynasty in the local area, at first no one cared, and then the matter became bigger and bigger, angered some big people, the Ruan family was directly raided and punished by the nine clans. My granddaughter and Ruan Guigui are half-brothers and sisters, but Xin'er's mother is a maid in the Ruan Mansion, with a bad reputation, and she has never married into the Ruan family, Xin'er is an illegitimate daughter of the Ruan family. ”

Saying this, the old man sighed heavily.

Hua Wenxiang knew in her heart, no wonder that Ruan Guigui had always been so cold to his grandson and grandson, it seemed that he looked down on the background of the two, and this Ruan family was indeed miserable, and he was actually punished by the Nine Clans, and asked: "Then Ruan Guigui and Ruan Xin escaped by luck?"

The old man nodded, "At that time, there was a rumor from above, and the head of the Ruan family had such a son as Ruan Guigui, and in order to pass on the lineage, he tried to let him escape from the big ...... Xin'er's appearance was an accident, and the Ruan family did not disclose it to the public, which also allowed Xin'er to escape, but pity my hard-working daughter who died in Huangquan......"

The old man's eyes gradually overflowed with tears, it didn't matter if the grandfather and grandson were not treated well all the way, they could live, but their daughter was sold into the Ruan Mansion as a maid since she was sensible, and now the family has finally saved enough money to redeem herself, but the person is no longer there.

The old man was sorry for his daughter, so he transferred all this debt to his granddaughter, and when he arrived in Nanzhou in the future, even if Ruan Guigui didn't recognize Ruan Xin's sister, the old man would take this old life to raise the little girl to grow up.

Hua Wenxiang sympathized and comforted: "The customs and customs over there in Nanzhou are very good, I believe everything will be fine." ”

Deng Guimao wiped away his tears, "I hope so." ”

Hua Wenxiang was bored, fiddling with a branch, and asked, "That rat spirit should have been with you for a long time, has anything strange happened during this time?"

The old man nodded, "Our team originally had thirty people, most of these people were halfway hired dart masters, about ten years ago, almost every day or two someone will disappear, at first everyone didn't care, thinking that it was a dart master who cheated money, taking money and not doing things, the Ruan family has money, Ruan Guigui escaped from Daqi and took a lot of money, so I don't care about this." But until today, the appearance of the rat spirit makes people have to think of those who disappeared dart masters, they probably did not take the money and ran away, but encountered the poisonous hands of the rat spirit. ”

The branch in Hua Wenxiang's hand suddenly snapped, "It is very likely that this rat spirit was killed in the nearby village, and there may be more than just one rat spirit......

Deng Guimao asked with some trepidation: "Is the playboy saying that there are other monsters?"

Hua Wenxiang smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Deng Guimao stabilized his mind and continued: "We passed through a total of three slaughtered villages, and almost all of them were alive, only a small number of people who went out survived. ”

Hua Wenxiang threw away the branch in her hand and said, "In the next moment, Uncle Deng and Xin'er must not leave the sight of our group." ”

Deng Guimao was grateful, "I'm sorry for the troublesome guys." ”

......

......

On dog days, the days are long and the nights are short, and the sky is early in the morning with the white of the fish's belly.

Everyone set off with the cool morning and hurried.

Hei Qiu'er and Ruan Xin were still asleep in the carriage, and Tu Yuelian was by their side.

Hua Wenxiang went to Deng Guimao's side, walking side by side with him, to prevent accidents, to make a timely move, about the understanding of Deng Guimao in the past two days, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say the specific reason.

Nguyen's convoy originally consisted of five wagons, but because they were so fast, they had to kill two horses not long ago, so some of them had to rush on foot, which greatly slowed down the speed.

It's also strange that there are poor jingles in the surrounding places for nearly a hundred miles, and there is not even a place to sell horse-drawn carriages.

Except for Qin Yi and Zhang Leshuang, the two masters of the Martial Green Realm, the other dozen or so people are all good dart masters, but these people are indeed a lot worse than the temperament of the first two, after all, they are all ordinary people who have not broken their souls.

After a night of pranayama, the two seriously injured escorts were slightly better, and they walked left and right beside the carriage where Ruan Guigui was riding.

When he set off for today, Ruan Guigui was afraid that the rat spirit would suddenly appear again, so he asked the two high-ranking people who had been hired a lot of money to stay next to him.

Their group was somewhat annoyed, because the road they were walking at this time was a round trip.

But in order to save their lives, everyone had to follow Hua Wenxiang and them to turn back.

Luo Bei and Ruluo, who were driving the horses, had no choice but to follow the butt of the convoy slowly, unable to be anxious or speakable.

At noon, everyone rested for a while.

Qin Yi took some kettles and said that he was going to get some water from the stream not far away.

When Ruan Guigui and the others passed by here before, there was indeed a small stream almost a mile away.

Zhang Leshuang said: "It's better for me to go, your arms are like that, it's inconvenient." ”

Qin Yi shook his head and smiled: "It's just an arm, it's not in the way, Lao Zhang, you can rest here, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

Ruan Guigui said with a smile: "There is Brother Lao Qin, when I get to Nanzhou, I will definitely add some reward to the two of you." ”

Qin Yi nodded with a smile, and then came to Hua Wenxiang and them, asking for two kettles, saying that they would help fetch some water together.

Because of Qin Yi's resolute attitude, they did not refuse.

In this way, Qin Yi held six or seven kettles in one hand and left quickly.

It's just that half an hour later, Qin Yi still hasn't come back, and it stands to reason that based on his footsteps, the time to go back and forth should be no more than a stick of incense......

Ruluo suddenly stood up and was vigilant, "We have fallen into a trap." ”

The surrounding scene suddenly became blurry, like a phantom floating mirror, making people dizzy.

Ruan Guigui was so frightened that he jumped directly from the carriage, hid behind Zhang Leshuang, and cowered: "Is that rat spirit coming?"

A pungent smell began to come from the surroundings, and Hua Wenxiang said loudly: "Everyone try to hold your breath." ”

Ruluo said loudly: "Xiaohua, Luo Bei, Yuelian, the three of you hurry up and see if there are any talismans around, and if there are, destroy them immediately." ”

After speaking, the young monk meditated on the spot, chanting the Buddhist scriptures, and the colorless but pungent smell of poisonous gas gradually stopped spreading.

Due to the blurring of the surrounding scene, Hua Wenxiang and the others really couldn't discern the direction, so they searched for a while, but they didn't see a talisman.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from under the ground and grabbed Hua Wenxiang's leg, Hua Wenxiang almost fell to the ground, Luo Bei hurriedly came and slashed at that arm with a sword.

There was a sound like metal colliding, and the arm was not injured in the slightest, but it quickly escaped into the ground.

Hua Wenxiang stretched out one hand, but didn't have time to grab the arm that was as hard as iron.

At this time, Tu Yuelian also rushed over, and the flickering scene around made her very uncomfortable, "Have you found anything like a talisman?"

Hua Wenxiang shook her head and said, "This formation is extremely weird, I'm afraid that the talisman has been buried in the soil, and we can't find it if we look for it." In this way, you two go back first, Ruluo and Zhang Leshuang's predecessors can't keep an eye on so many people, you two go to help him, and I will find those talismans myself. ”

The two hesitated.

Hua Wenxiang smiled: "Go quickly, I can't do anything." ”

Luo Bei thought to himself, but this is also the case, among his own group of people, Xiaohua has the most life-saving means, "Then you should be careful." ”

Tu Yuelian also advised: "Be careful yourself." ”

The two of them left quickly.

Hua Wenxiang looked at the ground and sneered, "Sure enough, it's you." ”

On the other side, Ruluo sat in place, and Ruan Guigui and his party were all around him.

Hei Qiu'er hugged Ruluo's arm and whispered, "Ruluo, you have to take care of me." ”

At this time, Qin Yi came from a distance with a kettle, and he was puzzled: "What's going on around here? Is that monster doing trouble?"

Zhang Leshuang said loudly: "Brother Qin, be careful, we have fallen into each other's trap. ”

Qin Yi came to everyone's side, his eyebrows furrowed, "I didn't expect this monster to be able to hold it back so soon, everyone be careful." ”

Ruluo stopped chanting, stood up, and smiled to reassure Heiqiu'er, "You just stay here, with me, nothing can happen." ”

The next moment, the young monk was entangled in the blue qi, and instantly came to Qin Yi and smashed the latter directly into the ground with one punch.

"Qin Yi"'s entire head was hit into the ground like a fall, and then his whole body changed its appearance up and down, covered with green scales, and his body size increased suddenly, resembling a huge lizard.
