August 19, Fangyi

The funeral was held at Genting Lake.

After a day of careful recuperation, the condition of the villagers who were injured in the night attack of the Wei army was stabilized. Bai Ye rushed back to Fangyi with the team and the wounded overnight.

When passing by the inn in the morning, Bai Ye saw Linglan standing at the door with a white scarf on her head, silently watching the convoy.

She still had to stay in the inn. Aunt Ci was still trapped in the third tun, and Yi Chi ran over with the Haizhou soldiers. Although there are no more guests now, the Jiang family's caravan has turned back, and the inn still has a lot of things to take care of.

Bai Ye led the mule up the mountain slowly, far away, silent.

In just a few days, years of peaceful life were completely shattered. The shock and torture suffered by the two young people could not be calmed down for a long time.

After sending the living home to take care of them, the people of Fangyi washed the bodies of the dead, piled them on the pyre by Genting Lake, and melted.

After the funeral, the old guys with white scarves on their heads seemed to be a different person. More than 200 veterans who retired from the military service in Fangyi, together with their families, burst out with amazing vitality.

The small mountain village has lived up to the vision of Lord Xue Jing of the Supervision Department. The uncles worked together to nail heavy fences at various joints of the way up the mountain overnight, and low walls were erected on each protruding stone platform on the shore of Genting Lake. In just one day, the entire Fangyi was transformed into a fortress with orderly echelons and vertical and horizontal links.

The women in the town only grow and fry tea on weekdays, but now they have changed their jobs.

An Li Zheng didn't know which warehouse in the old town, turned out several baskets full of special arrowheads, and sent them directly to Aunt Feng's house.

Every year, the three of her concubines have to make some bamboo arrows with their own hands for hunting for their little uncles. The quality of the arrows has always been highly respected by the uncles. Since yesterday, they have started to make arrows again without hesitation, and the children in the town have also been recruited to help.

In addition to roasting bamboo, straightening and slotting, they had to do it themselves, oiling, boiling glue, sticking feathers, and bunching these processes, and the children who were temporarily caught soon became proficient.

Bai Ye, who had returned the mule, stood outside the low courtyard wall of Aunt Feng'er's house, silently looking into the courtyard.

The women and children were silently busy. In the courtyard, there is a missing figure of the most lively Eryong.

Er Yong is the second eldest of the Feng family, and he doesn't have a lot of brains, but he is a big living treasure in the town, and he always fights with the big children every day.

After his funeral, the smiles on the faces of the children in Fangyi disappeared.

Bai Ye saw Kong Luan sitting in the corner of the wall, he was the youngest son of Uncle Desheng. Right now, he was leaning against a low wall, surrounded by dense shafts of arrows. It is said that since yesterday, the child has stopped wandering around and has spoken less.

Looking at the child who was concentrating on trimming his tail feathers, Bai Ye couldn't help but reach out and gently stroked his little head through the low wall. Xiao Luan stopped with his hand, but did not turn his head. Bai Ye opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.

Bai Ye walks around the village here, and takes a look at that. I turned around and found that I had returned to my door.

He walked into the room, hastily pulled the clutter from the armchair, and collapsed in the chair.

I was out and about for a few days, like a few years. He felt that his body had reached its limit.

After resting for a long time, Bai Ye gradually felt that his body was smoother, but his head became more and more groggy. He forced himself to take off his dirty robe and his leather boots.

The soft and tough boots hadn't left my feet for three days, and the sweat-soaked lining was already a little stiff.

Bai Ye simply rubbed his legs and feet, took out the fine tools in the chairside box, scooped up a pair of arm guards on the table, and rested them on his lap to slowly adjust.

The embedded joints of coral gold, the charging spring of the tendons, the cushion of the stomach pouch of the flame rat, the machine expansion of the red smelted copper, and the frame of the wet silver. This set of elbow arm pads led by the Fire Language Master has fortunately been kept at home and has not been seen by the Western Continent Master. Otherwise, something might happen.

Bai Ye knew that if there was no very special reason, the people of the Western Continent would never cooperate with others in their lives, let alone the three elders working together to create a work.

And this arm guard is only one of the three sets for the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Before the last thing was ready, the elders hastily closed the retreat, and he had not seen the real thing yet.

This incident made his heart itch for a long time. Speaking of which, his birthday is only a few days away.

Thinking about it now, it's like a world away.

After carefully adjusting the arm guards, Bai Ye's mood relaxed a lot. He put away his tools, changed into a clean robe, and threw his dirty clothes into the wooden basin in the corner. When I saw that the basin was full, my heart trembled.

Aunt Wang will not come to the house again to count herself down and clean up at the same time.

Lao Wang and Xiao Wang are gone. Amber plans to arrange for someone to send Aunt Wang to Whitewater City. When asked for her wishes, she didn't say anything, and she didn't shed a single tear.

The former enemy department has already issued a notice that the stockpile of military rations should not be sent to the front line, and other arrangements will be made. But last night, Aunt Wang still buried her head in the cave cellar, and still silently sorted out the grain bags as usual.

Listening to the women who accompanied the women outside the cellar, the sound of grain bags rang all night.

A lot of things have changed completely. The future of Fangyi, and everyone's future, will also change.

When Bai woke up in a daze, he found that he had slept all afternoon.

He rubbed his stomach, thinking that it was time to go to the inn to find Sister Linglan to eat.

For the time being, he can't interfere in Fangyi's affairs. The uncles were like chickens and blood, and all the work was clearly distributed.

Some people are stepping up to repair the housing institutions in the old town. According to the results of the discussion, if there is really danger, the whole village must go up the mountain to avoid danger.

Another group of people ventured from the secret passage to the horse farm, and Uncle Wen's horse farm was built in a hidden mountain col in the Guannan Plain. There were thirty horses kept there, and these horses were one of the uncles' greatest secrets for many years.

What Bai Ye can do now is to help Sister Xiaolan. The inn must be busy, too.

As soon as Bai Ye went out, he saw Amber walking down the mountain road with the longbow on his back.

Seeing Xiao Ye, Amber raised his chin and asked, "Done?"

"Well, the ashes have been delivered home. ”

Amber barely smiled.

When he got closer, he found that he was still carrying a bundle of bamboo arrows behind him, so he hurriedly took it.

Unloading the arrow bundle, Amber's body shook visibly, and Bai Ye hurriedly turned around and gently supported him.

"Let's take a break...... Xiao Yi and Aunt Ci, are you all right?"

"The younger brother of the king of Hades, that is the general of Yama, instructed the Yunzhou archery battalion to send him a lot of work. Those brothers are also very enthusiastic, Xiao Yi is busy, so he won't be chased and scolded by your aunt all the time. ”

Amber smiled bitterly and said, "I've taken care of his bow." After changing the thin string, Yunzhou's arrows can also be used. Amber patted Bai's bundle of bamboo arrows, "The arrows we make are better than those in Yunzhou, but there are not so many." After a while, I will ask someone to bring him some, so that he can teach him not to insult your name as Uncle Yama. ”

Bai Ye stuck out his tongue.

Ever since Uncle Yama realized that he couldn't die this time, he kept muttering that he wanted to catch Yi Chi, who had "abducted" his bone arch.

No one can get Uncle Yan's stubbornness back. His little brother who hasn't seen him for many years is even more right. If it weren't for the military order, he would have run back to the third tun overnight to arrest people.

But Uncle Yan didn't know that Xiao Yi had been mingling with the men in Yunzhou for a long time over there, and now he might be learning kung fu from horsemanship.

"After all, he is a big disciple worthy of Uncle Yama's entrustment, and Xiao Yi will not be embarrassed over there. We, Fangyi people, can't suffer anywhere. ”

Amber's face darkened. Bai Ye realized that he had said the wrong thing, and suddenly opened his mouth a little.

An Luoyong quickly shook his head with a wry smile, and patted Xiao Ye gently: "There is no one who does not suffer, but we will definitely get it back." ”

"You hurry back to the house and put on your arm guards and boots. The elders are out of the customs and waiting for you in the Old Town. ”

Yulan Mountain, a secret road

In the dense fog, a small team has been waiting quietly in the mountain road for a long time.

The young man in black shirt sitting in the middle of the road was obviously the leader of the team. He kept staring at the scroll in his hand, his brow furrowed slightly, and he was silent for a long time.

The silver shaft rod with a length of more than a foot is densely covered with complex charm patterns. On the transparent film extending from the shaft, the few scarlet light spots were still tightly glued together.

The young man held his forehead with his right hand, and his slender fingers quickly knocked on the door of his head, and sighed softly.

In addition to this black-shirted boy in the team, there are also seven or eight burly and majestic Wei Guo Military Academy.

These big men in heavy armor are all good hands in the Lei family's army. It's okay to walk the mountain road and endure hardships, but I'm afraid to stay still in this open space where there is no wind.

Once stopped, the sweat quickly leaked out, and the stuffy heavy armor made them even breathless, and the whole person was a little sluggish.

The officer at the head finally couldn't hold his breath, slowly leaned over to the black-shirted man, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go further?"

The black-shirted man sighed and raised his head: "General Lei, look, have there been any changes in these dots?"

The general surnamed Lei looked at him suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice, "How do I understand the secret arts?" but still looked down at the scroll.

"Nothing has changed, it was like that yesterday. A lump. ”

The young man smiled dumbly and said, "It's really appropriate." ”

He looked around with interest. A milky white mist covered the ridge. A dozen steps away, you can't see anything clearly.

"General Lei, do you know what these red dots represent?"

"You know, I don't understand you guys. ”

"It's okay, just take a closer look. ”

The general's head fell again. He looked at it with wide eyes, and after a long time he hesitated to ask, "What ......are these patterns?" Numbers on the dots?

"Yes. Each dot is numbered, corresponding to a Beast Venerable. ”

The black-shirted boy casually closed the delicate scroll and put it in his arms, "These dots overlapped a few days ago. We've been chasing them for two days, and we're no more than ten miles away. But they are still stacked on top of each other. ”

"It's something that has never happened before. Very interesting. ”

The general obviously didn't dare to believe it: "This scroll can show the position of His Holiness, the position of walking?"

Childe laughed loudly: "There are a lot of good things for the national teacher." Would you be interested in learning it?"

"Don't be, I can't learn this kind of magic technique. I'm not anything, a spirit like you. ”

"Which of these Venerable Beings in my family is a spirit body? ”

Before he could finish speaking, the general walked away. The black-shirted boy looked at his back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded.

The situation was more complicated than he thought.

The national teacher's plan was a great success, and the first line of defense of the Lan Kingdom was flattened in the first night, and the loss of the spirit beast was less than expected. But what I didn't expect was that His Holiness's loss was somewhat unexpected.

Of the more than 20 Venerables who died on the first day, fifty percent died of an uncontrollable explosion of spiritual power. This also proves that the "method of planting spirits" is still not very mature.

And the other half of the Venerable who died in the melee, a few died in an unknown manner.

Their bodies have all been found, but the runes are still active in the scrolls.

In other words, the spiritual power of these dead people is no longer in the body, but it is concentrated together in some way.

Judging from the direction of the spirit rune, the answer should be in the mountains not far away. According to the information collected by the Gu family detectives, it was a small and inconspicuous mountain village.

It's called Phue-Eup.

And this Fangyi is also the location where the Zimu Spirit Rhino Core once stayed.

A huge furry figure suddenly silently emerged from the dense fog and walked straight towards Childe.
