The fog falls at dusk and the sun sets.

The evening breeze is the first to hit, and it is cool.

Depressed and incomprehensible, his thoughts wander over the cliff, and he is hesitant to understand the puzzle.

Looking at the sky, there is smoke in the dead wood forest ten miles away, like a girl wearing gray and white yarn dancing, facing the sunset, graceful. It rises and rises, then slowly dissolves and disperses, and finally melts into the withered yellow wilderness, full of the most simple and ordinary breath in the world, warm and fragrant. A few kites fluttered high in the sky, accompanied by Yu Yang's teeth and claws, which was the ridicule and ridicule of the retreating soldiers of the victorious army...

"Dether!"

"Huh!"

Scolding and drinking, breaking the wind.

A cloud-piercing arrow shot into the sky from the mountainside of Qulong.

After blinking, a cold light flickered between the clouds seven miles away!

Cold light fell from the sky, piercing the silence. The tense hemp rope in mid-air was then cut by the blade, and the kite floating in the sky immediately fell from the sky.

Not long after the kite fell, a fat monk with a fat head and big ears came out of the dead woods. Looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, he was obviously not frightened by the cloud-piercing arrow that could shoot ten miles. The fat monk picked up the kite that had fallen to the ground, reconnected the broken thread, and ran happily with the kite held high. The light breeze brings up a long paper tail to form a beautiful ripple and set sail with the wind. The kite soon flew into the sky again on the wind, swaying leisurely, showing its teeth and claws. After finishing the matter, the fat monk did not forget to stick out his tongue towards Qu Longshan, made a grimace, patted his buttocks and walked back into the dead woods.

"Humph!"

It's so frustrating.

On the mountainside of Qu Longnan, more than a dozen Tang Sect disciples stood or sit, looking at the direction of the dead wood forest from afar.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, a female disciple of the Tang Sect put away her longbow and trembling aura angrily, looking at her cloudy face, it was obvious that she was holding back the suffocation in her heart. The cloud-piercing arrow she shot earlier is the first arrow she has shot in the past few days. But every time she shot down a kite or lantern from a distance of more than ten miles, the fat monk with a fat head and fat ears would always run out of the forest in time, pick up the kite and lantern, and put it back into the sky. And the most hateful thing is that before leaving, he can't forget to mock and provoke, as if shouting in the air, "Come on, come and beat Lao Tzu." "That underwhelming look, it really makes the people on Qulong Mountain so angry that they can't wait to pick up the guy and rush down the mountain, and beat this fat monk hard!

"Okay, you pig Bajie, don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you to death!"

"This guy has thick skin, and yesterday my broken arrows could not hurt him in the slightest. ”

"If you can't smoke it, hang it up and roast it, I don't believe it can't be cooked!"

"Don't scold, it's so far away, you can't hear the scolding. ”

"I can't get used to seeing them like this, huh. ”

"Huh. ”

Tang Chuan smiled awkwardly, and then turned his eyes to look at Yu Yang, who was slowly sinking in the west.

There are some things, as the senior brother of the Tang Sect, he is not good to speak directly to the junior brothers and sisters below, but it is really uncomfortable to hold it in his heart for days. It's just that sometimes it's better not to say it than to say it. After all, people have to go through a bumpy road in person to know the ruggedness of the road...

"I'll see if there's a chance later, I'll help you get him back, and you can reward him with a whip. ”

"Senior brother, you have to talk about it, I've been trying to ravage him for a long time. ”

"No, I just said it was possible, but I didn't pack the ticket. ”

"Then you don't fool people. ”

"Huh. ”

Tang Chuan didn't pay attention to this female disciple of the Tang Sect anymore, and turned his eyes to look at Tang Xiaotang, who had been frowning beside him.

"Little sugar, if you come, you will be safe, don't think too complicated about things. It's just child's play. ”

“......”

Tang Xiaotang was very unhappy.

Today, on the Xicang Grain Road, nothing happened as she expected, and not even the traces of gunsmoke showed some signs. A blow to sow discord and lead a pack of wolves to fight the tiger is a failure. And also asked Xia Xun to pick up an Anta Mountain out of thin air, which made Tang Xiaotang even more angry. And in the same way, in addition to being angry, Tang Xiaotang was also a little jealous. But what she was afraid of was not the men and horses of Anta Mountain, because Qu Long had 4,000 soldiers entrenched in the Heavenly Curse, and it was easy to say that 3,000 people were 6,000 people to attack. What she is afraid of is Xia Xun's behavior...

When Xia Xun returned from taking grain from Xicang, he directly left all the grain, cattle and sheep in the open space at the edge of the forest, and did not even make a fence, just using hemp rope to tie up the livestock was perfunctory. Afterwards, Xia Xun sent away all the hundreds of people in Anta Mountain, and even the horses were not left. At this time, only the original twenty people were left in the dead woods. There are many suspicious points, all pointing to Xia Xun being fooling around with an empty city plan.

The empty city is counted as empty.

Tang Xiaotang already couldn't understand Xia Xun's thoughts.

Grab the grain and grass, and put it in front of the door, and get it at your fingertips. The conspiracy that wants to cover up cannot scare people as fools at all. The empty city plan was originally a strategy to resist the enemy, but after Xia Xun's fiddling with such a virtual and real situation, it became a faint strategy to lure the wolf.

It's clear that people are going to grab food...

Tang Xiaotang thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, afraid of both the plan and the missed opportunity. She replied to Tang Chuan angrily: "Fighting is not a child's play, I must win." ”

"Little sugar, don't be so serious. ”

The female disciple of the Tang Sect who spoke earlier smiled bitterly and shook her head: "What if you can win him? He is the number twenty person, and you are in charge of four thousand soldiers and horses." He attacked in the face of difficulties, you defended in danger, and it was disgraceful for you to win. ”

"I don't care, I just want to win. ”

"Huh. ”

The female disciple of the Tang Sect smiled even more bitterly: "What about after winning?"

Tang Xiaotang said: "After winning, he will be my minion." ”

"So what? At most, you can ask him to do your laundry, cook, pour tea and water, do you really want her to wash your feet and warm the quilt?"

"Why not?"

Tang Xiaotang turned his head and looked at the speaker innocently: "As long as I can convince him, then after I return to Xichuan, I can tell my grandmother that I won the grandson of the ghost scheme." Xia Xun is a hero, and it is even more enjoyable to win a hero than to win thousands of troops. ”

"If you win him, is he still a hero?"

"Not really. ”

“......”

The sun sets and night falls.

There are no stars in the night, and there are no tears in the candlelight.

Raise a cup and ask for a cup, drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.

Crickets and insects chirp, fireflies lit up, and frogs croaked by the stream.

The kites in the sky were collected one by one by the people in the dead wood forest at night, and then replaced with dozens of huge Kong Ming lanterns, which fell high in the lonely night. The small forest with a radius of hundreds of feet is full of dead trees, and there are not many leaves that can hide the shame, and they are illuminated brightly...

The flames burned and the dead branches "beeped", and the smoke was turned gray and white by the firelight, slowly rising into the sky. A few bats flew by, perched on the branches, and looked around curiously. In the woods, people sit around campfires. Eating meat and drinking, giggling and laughing, except for the little monk, they all look bold. It is as if you don't feel the danger hidden in the darkness at all.

"Sasha..."

Soon after dark, Qu Long moved.

Although Tang Xiaotang knew that Qu Long would send troops tonight, he would definitely not be able to escape Xia Xun's eyes, and it must have been expected by him. But Tang Xiaotang still covered his ears and asked Tang Chuan to carry out the order of the whole army to sneak. After dinner, taking advantage of the night, nearly 2,000 Qu Long candidates dressed in dark costumes and masked with black veils divided into two roads in the southeast and sneaked down the mountain. It is also divided into four roads in the southeast, northwest and northwest at the foot of the mountain, forming a ring network, like fine ants lying on the ground in the wilderness, slowly outflanking the dead wood forest...

Tang Xiaotang was not in a hurry, after all, the grain and grass were left outside the dead forest, and it couldn't run away. And Tang Xiaotang now needs a more stable result. Therefore, the people lurking in the wilderness are very cautious and slow in their movements, and they will be vigilant every few steps. So much so that a whole hour passed, and they tightly wrapped more than 200 zhang outside the dead wood forest with a sealed momentum.

Two hundred zhang is the illumination range of the sky lantern. It stands to reason that no matter how small the movement of the two hundred zhang distance is, no matter how dark the sky is, it is impossible to hide the ears and eyes of masters of the Apocalypse Realm such as Mo Xian and Lei Meng. But the truth is the opposite, the people in the dead wood forest always eat and drink merrily, and they just ignore the thousands of enemies surrounding them. Even when Lei Meng was so drunk that his stomach was distended, he got up and walked out of Xiaolin, and directly untied his trouser belt and sprinkled a bubble of sinister urine in front of the person who was lurking in the dark. Such a strange thing made a whale-swallowing ambush render a lot of inexplicable weirdness out of thin air.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, the more things come to the last moment, the more cautious Tang Xiaotang, Tang Chuan and others become. They didn't dare to let people attack rashly, and only tentatively sent a few skilled candidates to secretly transfer the grain, grass, cattle and sheep placed outside the forest. They wanted to take this opportunity to see the reaction in the forest, but the people in the forest still didn't react at all, they should eat and drink, and they should chatter, all of them looked unconscious.

"Are they blind?"

"Will there be fraud?"

"Could it be that there is a trap in the woods to ambush?"

"Traps should also be buried next to grain and grass, how can they be buried in them?"

“......”

Suspicions gradually multiplied.

In the dark, there were whispers in the low grass piles.

The moonlight does not illuminate their figures, but they can also feel their fear. I saw Xia Xun and others being blind with their eyes open like this. The jealousy in Tang Xiaotang's heart became even more inexplicable, she was sure that there would be fraud tonight, Xia Xun would definitely not be so easy to deal with. Tang Xiaotang's attack order could not be issued in his mouth for a long time. Therefore, the people who are ambushed in the dead wood forest have no choice but to live and die in the shadows.

Strange, so weird...

The people in the forest laughed, and the people outside the forest were silent.

As the cattle and sheep outside the forest were led away one by one, Tang Xiaotang couldn't figure out what Xia Xun wanted to do at all...

If Xia Xun didn't know that he was surrounded, it was something that ghosts didn't believe. If he knew that he was surrounded, why could he be so calm?

In the woods...
