Chapter 50: The Corridor to Heaven

Subsequently, Ren Xiao followed the middle-aged man and the bearded man and left the herd. No matter what Ren Xiao asked along the way, these two people kept silent. Almost half an hour later, Ren Xiao saw the boundary of this grassland from a distance, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the middle-aged man seemed to see Ren Xiao's inner thoughts, and reminded: "Child, the front is the center of the grassland, until we investigate your identity clearly, you had better not have any plans." ”

Ren Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, anyway, there were still people chasing and killing him when he went back now, so it was better to stay here, and it was expected that those who chased and killed him would not be embarrassed by Feng Shang. It's just that until now, Ren Xiao still doesn't understand why Wutong can kill himself, but he let himself go and put him in this ghost place.

After walking a few more steps, a huge horse farm appeared in front of Ren Xiao's eyes, although it was a horse farm, there were dozens of houses alone, not to mention a horse circle. There were many women who were busy there, some chopping the hay, some carrying the foals to nurse, some bathing the horses, and a few little dolls running around. It's a small place, but it's a thriving scene.

Seeing the middle-aged man coming back, an old man on crutches greeted him, and was about to speak when he saw Ren Xiao behind the man, so he glanced at Ren Xiao and said to the middle-aged man: "Danqing, are you a tomb robber again?"

Although the old man was on crutches in one hand and his back was bent a lot, Ren Xiao saw the perseverance in his eyes.

"It turns out that this uncle's name is Danqing! It seems that they think I am a tomb robber, and let me hear what they have to say. Ren Xiao thought secretly.

The middle-aged man glanced at the old man and said, "This kid said that he was lost, and we didn't find anything suspicious in him." So I brought him back first, and then slowly investigated his identity. ”

The bearded man said: "I said Gonghu, you are so old, and you still worry about these worries! Go back and rest! With Brother Wanyan leading us, you can drink tea at home with confidence!"

After hearing this, the public household showed an unhappy look, stabbed his beard a few times with his cane, and said: "You Kufuji, you were not my opponent when I was young! Why am I old now, you look down on me as an old man, even if your father comes, he has to give me three points." ”

Kufuji hurriedly stretched out his hands and shook them, and said: "No, no, no, no, you are talking about it, why are you mentioning my old man? You misunderstood what I meant, I want to say, just leave these little things to us juniors, just rest and supervise us." ”

Gonghu stomped his crutches on the ground and said, "Hmph! This sentence is more reasonable, you follow Danqing to learn more from others." ”

Kufuji hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you taught you a lesson." Ren Xiao couldn't help laughing when he looked at this fierce and vicious strong man, but at this time he was submissive to an old man who was over the age of six. Seeing that Ren Xiao was laughing at himself, Kufu Ji hurriedly turned around and said, "You little rabbit cub, what are you laughing at? Do you know the identity of the public master with us? He is ......."

Before Kufuji finished speaking, Yan Danqing interrupted him and said, "Master Gonghu, where is Taishi Xiaomeng? The father-in-law thought for a moment and said, "Little Meng, that boy, he should be in the stable today, and a horse was born just now, and he went over to help." ”

After listening to the words of the father-in-law, Wanyan Danqing turned to Kufu and said, "You go to the stable, let Taishi Xiaomeng come to me, and I will take this kid to the wooden house to wait for him." ”

"No!" Kufu turned around and walked towards the stable in the distance, and Wanyan Danqing said to the public household: "Gonghu master, please go to the kitchen and say something, get this child something to eat." ”

The public lord smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go." ”

Then, he took Ren Xiao to a row of wooden houses located in the center of the racecourse, Wanyan Danqing opened the door of a wooden house, motioned for Ren Xiao to enter, and then said: "From now on, you will stay in this house first, don't go anywhere, and then make plans after I send someone to the ancient city." ”

Ren Xiao walked into the wooden house and found that there was nothing in it except a bed. Ren Xiao said: "Uncle, who are you? What kind of place is this? The old man seems to have misunderstood me as a tomb robber." ”

Wanyan Danqing locked the door from the outside and said, "Something that has nothing to do with you, don't ask." ”

Ren Xiao stuck out his tongue and lay straight on the bed, leaning the Miao black knife against the side of the bed. After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and a young man spoke: "Uncle Wanyan, I heard that you are looking for me?"

Wanyan Danqing said: "I just brought back a teenager who broke into our forbidden land, the same age as you, and was locked up here by me, you help me watch him for the past few days, and then make plans when I investigate clearly." ”

Taishi Xiaomeng replied simply: "Okay, Uncle Wanyan, just leave it to me!" After speaking, Ren Xiao heard the footsteps of Wanyan Danqing leaving.

"Hey, boy, what's your name?Why did you break into us?Don't you see that idlers don't enter?" asked Taishi Xiaomeng, leaning on the crack of the door. Ren Xiao got up from the bed, walked to the door, sat down against the door panel, and said, "It's a long story, in short, I broke in by mistake without knowing it! My name is Ren Xiao, you are called Taishi Xiaomeng!"

Taishi Xiaomeng also sat down outside the door and said, "I see, something happened here a few years ago, so everyone is wary of outsiders. This is also a last resort, you take care of it more, Uncle Wanyan is actually a good person, and when he investigates clearly, he will definitely release you immediately. ”

Ren Xiao asked curiously, "What happened to you here?" The old man before seemed to think of me as a tomb robber. ”

Taishi Xiaomeng pulled out a grass neck on the spot and put it in his mouth, and said: "The old man you mentioned, everyone calls him Gonghuye, he is the owner of the previous horse farm, and when he gets old, Uncle Wanyan will replace him." This place is called the Tongtian Corridor, which means the closest place to heaven, five years ago, an earthquake shook the grassland out of a crack, when Uncle Wanyan led dozens of young people to investigate, and found an ancient tomb under the crack. I've heard from the elders I've been there that the scale of the tomb is so large that it seems that the whole grassland is full of burial chambers. In the days that followed, the grassland began to change, and even the people who lived here all year round would suddenly get lost. Many people have disappeared and never been seen again, only Uncle Wan Yan and some young people can come and go freely, and the older generation speculates that the owner of the tomb may have cursed this place. Later, Wanyan Danqing reported the matter to the lord of the country, and the lord of the country sent an army to investigate, but after the army entered the tomb, it never came out. So the lord of the country ordered that this area should be blocked, and Uncle Wanyan should be in charge of this place, and no outsiders should be allowed to enter or leave. Of course, we can't go out, because once we get out, no one can walk back without Uncle Wanyan's leadership. Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, and no one was angry that they couldn't go out, but they were proud to have lived here for generations. Later, more and more tomb robbers began to hear the rumors here, so they came here to find out, but in the end, they could not find the crack and were trapped in the grassland. Uncle Wanyan also caught dozens of tomb robbers within a year, and they were all eventually thrown into the wilderness. ”

After listening to the story, Ren Xiao gasped and said, "Then what do you mean is that this is a completely closed place, people from the outside world can't get in, and people inside can't get out?"

Taishi Xiaomeng said: "It's true, but whenever a lost person breaks in, Uncle Wanyan will send someone who can enter and leave the grassland to verify his identity, if it is not a tomb robber, Uncle Wanyan will personally send him out of the grassland." ”

Ren Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." By the way, can you go in and out of the grassland?" Taishi Xiaomeng spit out the chewed grass neck in his mouth and said, "I don't know, I haven't gone out, but in the grassland, I haven't gotten lost yet." Ren Xiao was curious: "Then who will not get lost?"

Taishi Xiaomeng said: "I don't know, but some people are born without getting lost, like me, everyone says that these people are chosen by God." I don't think so, maybe it's chance!"

At this time, the food brought by a woman, Taishi Xiaomeng took the food, opened Ren Xiao's door, and brought the food in. Seeing this, Ren Xiao smiled and said, "You're not afraid that I will escape?"

Taishi Xiaomeng put the things on the ground and said: "If you can go out, it means that you are also a person chosen by God, since this is the case, there is no need for Uncle Wanyan to care about you, and leaving you here is actually to protect you." ”

Ren Xiao sat in front of the food with a smile, took a look, and found that there was only meat and broth. Taishi Xiaomeng saw that he was puzzled, so he explained: "Our people here, for generations, only eat meat and never eat vegetables, so you will just take a look." ”

Ren Xiao said: "It's okay, I'm just curious, I only knew that there were people who didn't eat meat before, but today I realized that there were people who only ate meat." ”

Taishi Xiaomeng leaned on the door frame, looked at Ren Xiao and said, "I don't think you look like a bad person, that's why you dare to open the door, who are you?" Ren Xiao grabbed a handful of beef, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and said: "I was originally a catcher, but I was knocked unconscious and put in a carriage, and it was the horse that pulled me here." ”

Taishi Xiaomeng nodded and said, "Although you look stupid, I can still see some righteousness from you, no wonder Uncle Wanyan asked me to come to see you, I usually take care of people who are lost, and my attitude is not good." ”

The two were chatting, and suddenly a shout came from a distance: "Oh no, no!"
