At noon, the sun was shining, and the strong sunlight was sprinkled, making the pepper and salt mountain filled with a hot and dry atmosphere!

Pepper and salt mountain is a nameless mountain with few resources, and there are only a few villages nearby that rely on going into the mountains to cut firewood and hunt wild game to make a living.

Since the Green Wolf Gang discovered that there was a small salt mine in this place two years ago, the Green Wolf Gang sent people to occupy this place and exploit it on a large scale, providing nearly 1,000 taels of silver in the past two years, which is also a rare resource point.

At this time, in front of the mining stronghold at the foot of the salt and pepper mountain, the thugs of No. 30 or 40 dressed in black clothes stood in place casually.

Black eye circles, swollen eye bags reveal deep exhaustion, even if they are sweating profusely, no one complains, and most people even have a cold heart.

In front of this group of thugs, there was a man standing straight, dressed in green clothes that looked extremely dazzling among many thugs, the strong sunlight did not seem to have the slightest effect on them, and there was not a drop of sweat on his body.

A young man next to him kept walking around, and his tired face couldn't stop the anxious look, and at this time, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Zhang, when will this deacon Liu sent from Chengtangkou arrive, and can he solve this matter?"

After hearing this, the man turned his head to look at the young man, showed a helpless look, and slowly spoke: "I don't know if it can be solved, it is said that this Deacon Liu is young, has extraordinary skills, has reached the middle stage of martial arts, and has a ruthless shot, and has a great reputation in the city!"

"In the middle stage of martial arts, isn't that already refining a large amount of essence qi, and you can use essence qi to refine your fists and feet, and you can be an enemy of a hundred people!" said the young man in surprise.

"Yes, I want to join the Green Wolf Gang at the age of seventeen, and it took me five years to be given the exercises, but I have already missed the best age to practice martial arts, and then I practiced hard for four years before I was surging with a sense of vitality, and now I am now thirty and three, and I have just touched the threshold of the middle stage of martial arts."

Zhang Rang said with a melancholy look on his face.

"Brother Zhang doesn't have to be like this, you found out that this salt mine in Jiaoyan Mountain is a great contribution, and it is mined on a large scale, and it has made great contributions to the gang, as long as this matter is slowed down, the gang leader will definitely give a panacea in the future, so that Brother Zhang can break through to the middle stage of martial arts, but we don't know when we can really join the Green Wolf Gang, save enough contributions, and exchange for real exercises. The young man said with a look of yearning.

When Zhang Rang heard that he had broken through the middle stage of martial arts, a different color flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to face the many black-clothed thugs and said:

"You don't have to be afraid, now Tangkou has sent Liu Protector to deal with this matter, as long as this matter is relieved and the salt mine is guarded, you will definitely be able to get the exercises, become a member of the Green Wolf Gang, protect the family, and not suffer from suffering!"

When many thugs heard this, their spirits lifted up, and even their fatigue seemed to fade a little.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the road in the distance, and I saw a young man in Tsing Yi galloping on a horse.

When I looked closer, I saw that his face was angular, his thick eyebrows were slightly raised, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the hearts of others, his lips were slightly pursed, his face was expressionless, he was spotless in green clothes, and the outline of a wolf's head with a long roar was embroidered on his left chest, which made everyone's hearts sink.

"You are Steward Zhang? I am Liu Yi, and I was ordered to come to deal with the matter of Salt and Pepper Mountain," Liu said to Zhang Rang after getting off the horse.

After Zhang Rang heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Down there is Zhang Rang, it is the steward of Pepper and Salt Mountain, Deacon Liu dared to come overnight, physically and mentally exhausted, and ordered someone to prepare a meal in the morning, just waiting for the deacon to arrive." ”

"It's okay, then bother Steward Zhang to tell me the matter from beginning to end, so that I can understand it a little. ”

Liu Yi's eyes flashed.

"Then talk as you go, please," Zhang Rang said, raising his hand.

"Things have to start from three days ago, in order to prevent someone from making trouble, many peripheral disciples patrolled in this mountain, in groups of three, it was all fine, but three days ago suddenly disappeared a group of disciples, so I sent people up the mountain to search, but there was no trace of anyone, thinking that they might have left this place for some reason, so I didn't think much about it, but the next day the patrol disciples disappeared again, so I ordered a large-scale search of the mountain, but there was still no trace"

Liu Yi obviously saw that when Zhang Rang said this, his throat swallowed, and his eyes showed a look of fear, so Liu Yi's eyes narrowed unconsciously, as if thinking of something.

"In the early hours of that night, because of the disappearance of my disciple, so I had not rested, suddenly heard shouts from outside the village, and hurriedly called someone to light a torch to go, when I arrived at the scene, I saw three bloody heads, hideous faces, bulging eyes, bleeding from seven orifices, looking around but could not find the murderer and body, until a disciple dug up the ground under the head and found that they were buried in the soil and squeezed to death, flesh and blood burst open, wetting the soil, leaving only bones,"

"I used to hear that there are ghosts and monsters in this world, and I thought that this thing must not be done by man, so I reported it to the church and asked someone to deal with this matter.

Zhang Rang pointed to a large pit and said, the pit was full of dirt mixed with flesh and blood, and there were four human heads mixed in it, which made people shudder.

This place has long been surrounded by some of the outer disciples of the Green Wolf Gang and the nearby villagers, one by one, with fear on their faces, for fear that they will be the next to die, and people's hearts are scattered.

When Liu saw this, his face was gloomy, and he immediately snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and said coldly:

"How can there be ghosts and monsters in the world, but it is done by some strange beasts, what is the fear, we and other warriors are going to cut through the thorns, go against the current, fear everywhere can only achieve nothing, this matter can not be mentioned, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless"

Liu Yi looked at everyone coldly, and when he saw that none of them looked at him, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Now that a person is dead, he should be buried in the ground, and if he does not quickly dispose of the corpse, do you want to cause any epidemic?"

After hearing this, the onlookers all cowered and looked embarrassed, and hesitated a little, until they saw Zhang Rang's eyes, and then gritted their teeth and stepped forward to deal with it.

And Liu Yi looked thoughtful at this time, didn't know what he was thinking, and walked towards the village.

At this time, in a courtyard in the village, there is a pavilion in the courtyard, and around the pavilion is a small pond with a clear bottom, and a group of goldfish can be clearly seen swimming around the pool.

There is a stone table in the pavilion, the table is full of food, although it is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but the chicken, duck and fish are all kinds of meat, and there is a unique flavor.

"Come, Deacon Liu, I toast you," Zhang Rang said, raising his glass.

Liu Yi also raised his wine glass and drank, after three rounds of wine, Liu Yi put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said as if he was pointing

"Steward Zhang is quite good at enjoying it, I don't think the elders in the gang are as comfortable as the steward,"

Zhang Rang's face froze, and he hurriedly spoke, "Don't dare, how can you compare to the elders and hall masters, the elders and hall masters work hard, deal with the things in the gang, and always think about how to carry forward the Green Wolf Gang, and have no time to enjoy it, and I trust the blessing of the gang, and Tian is in charge of this place, and it is for the Green Wolf Gang."

"Dedicated to the Green Wolf Gang, what should you be guilty of spreading rumors and causing panic in the stronghold but not knowing how to appease them?"

Liu Yi chuckled lightly, and his fingers knocked on the stone table.

"This, Deacon Liu, am I not scared of this, I can kill so many people silently, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent, I'm really powerless."

After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Yi and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if this is the ghost's doing?"

Liu Yi looked at Zhang Rang with a smile, "Is it a ghost who did it, doesn't Steward Zhang know better than me?"

Zhang Rang's face suddenly changed greatly, "Deacon Liu, what do you mean?"

"Hmph, Steward Zhang, it's okay for you to deceive others about weirdness, but it's a joke to trick me into being a coolie for you. Liu Yi said with a sneer.

Zhang Rang frowned after hearing this, "Deacon Liu, I don't understand what you're saying, you're here to solve weird things, if you can't complete the task, the hall master will blame you, and I can't afford it."

"Oh, then I should see, the main hall knows about this, will he blame me or you, after all, you can be the manager of this place, or his credit, if he knows that he raised a white-eyed wolf, tsk, think about it is a good show"

Zhang Rang's face changed uncertainly, "You, what do you want?"

"How?The place where the weird was born will give birth to the associated heavenly and earthly treasures, if you don't take the treasures away, how can the weirdness rather slowly dissipate, but also get rid of the geographical shackles, go down the mountain to kill, if you want to clear the weirdness here, I have to pay a lot of price, you hand over the heavenly and earthly treasures that you obtained, I will also be here a clean, you can continue to be in charge of things." ”

"No way, I risked my life to steal something, up to fifty or fifty,"

Zhang Rang saw that Liu stared at him intently, and hurriedly spoke again

"Don't think about killing me, swallowing the treasure alone, the treasure is in a hidden place, and no one knows where it is except me"

After hearing this, Liu Yi relented slightly, and spoke again:

"Tell me what treasure you're talking about first."

"Yes....... , It's a blood vine, it bears seven blood essence fruits, you four and I three, it can't be more, I will count on it to break through the middle stage of martial arts,"

Zhang Rang said fiercely:

"If I can't break through the middle stage of martial arts, I can do anything, it's a big deal"

"Don't think I can't see it, you are now only one line away from the middle stage of martial arts, at most two can break through, you must know, the fish will die, but the net will not break, it's a big deal if I send someone to dig three feet into the ground, I don't believe that I can't find where the treasure is hidden" Liu Yi said coldly.

"You, okay, as you said, you are five and I are two, I can take you to get the blood essence fruit, but it's not the time yet, it still needs a few people's blood to fully mature, otherwise I would have eaten it myself a long time ago, can I wait until now?"

Zhang Rang slumped in his seat, with an unwilling expression.

"Lest you have too many dreams at night, set off now, and you can figure out your own way about the essence and blood. ”

"Hmph,"

Zhang Rang seemed to think of something, snorted coldly, stood up and looked down at Liu Yi.

"In order to prevent the strange beast from continuing to endanger life, Deacon Liu and I immediately led people into the mountain to eradicate the foreign beast, but I didn't expect that the strange beast was very ferocious, and they unfortunately died in the battle. ”

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Yi expressionlessly, and walked out after speaking.

Liu Yi glanced at Zhang Rang in surprise, and then smiled, "That's fine, save trouble."

By the time Liu Yi went out, Zhang Rang had already stood in front of him ten strong thugs, armed with swords and ready to go.

And Zhang Rang is reassuring people's hearts:

"The brother who was unfortunately killed and injured recently, according to Deacon Liu, was done by a strange beast, and now, we will follow Deacon Liu into the mountain to eradicate the demon beast, avenge the dead brother, and return the salt and pepper mountain to a clean place. ”

Seeing Liu come out, Zhang Rang greeted him with a happy face, "Deacon Liu, the brother who died in Salt and Pepper Mountain this time will rely on the adults to take revenge."

"It's okay, they are all brothers of the Green Wolf Gang, why should this be the case, whether it is a human or a foreign beast, if you dare to touch my Green Wolf Gang, you must be ready to die!"

Liu Yi looked at Zhang Rang's false smile and said solemnly to everyone, there was something in the words, as if there was something to refer to.

Then he strode towards the mountain, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly at an angle that everyone couldn't see!
