The scorching sun is in the sky, and several white clouds are floating in the basket sky!

A line of herons flew by from high in the sky, and from time to time let out a crisp cry!

The ground is a small undulating low mountainous area, and an official road winds through the flat and stretches into the distance!

At a bend in the official road, several cavalrymen galloped past, dressed in iron armor and with eyes as sharp as falcons, keenly sweeping the hidden places beside the road, searching for the aura of danger.

Confirming that there was no danger, one of the knights gestured to the rear, and several of them sprinted forward again.

After a while, a small convoy turned around, and ten large carts drove mightily on the road, with more than a dozen riders guarding all around.

Jin Wuzhi did not ride in a car, but rode a horse.

It was the first time he had ridden a horse, and he felt very fresh, and his long-suppressed mood was released. Along the way, he happily played non-stop, galloping on a prancing horse for a while, galloping at a rapid speed for a while, and asked the cavalry of the garrison for riding experience.

"Captain Huang, are you familiar with Qinghe Town, but what are the dangers?"

Jin Wuzhi was tired of playing, grabbed the reins, slowly followed the left and right of the convoy, and suddenly asked Huang Yi, who was riding side by side.

Huang Yi glanced at him and replied with a solemn face: "Young Master Qiqizhi, the land around Qinghe Town is fertile and is a famous place for grain production. The town is located in the hinterland, with Qingping Pass in the west and Nanyancheng in the south. However, there are demons and ghosts in the Qing River, which still need to be paid attention to. ”

"Oh, what kind of demon?" Jin Wuzhi asked, perking up.

Now that he urgently needs a large number of demon souls to improve his strength, he has settled in Qinghe Town, and he also regards inquiring about where there are monsters and ghosts as a top priority. So when I heard Huang Yi mention the haunting of demons and ghosts, I was immediately interested.

"Most of them are water ghosts, and their strength is not strong, but there are also powerful monsters like water monkeys, and the scout team has been ordered to go to eliminate demons and have encountered water monkeys. Huang Yi replied casually. He thought that this young master was just curious, but he couldn't imagine that Jin Wuzhi wanted to eliminate the demon with his own hands.

"Tell me about it!"

"It had to be more than half a year ago, the garrison sent me to lead the scout team to Qinghe Town, saying that it was to assist in the local eradication of water ghosts! At that time, I thought it was a trivial matter, but after I arrived, I learned that a small village under Qinghe Town was slaughtered by monsters, and more than 100 people in the village were sucked dry and died very miserably. At that time, the garrison team went to investigate, and many of the team members did not return, and the town owner reported to Qingping Pass. In this way, we didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it might be a lot of water ghosts.

Later, in a beach near the Xiaoqing River, a water ghost nest was tracked down, and there were seven or eight water ghosts. At that time, I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to destroy the water ghost as soon as possible and go back to my life. Unexpectedly, there was a water monkey hiding on the side, and suddenly attacked during the fierce battle. That time, my scout team suffered heavy casualties, and five old brothers were killed. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Yi sighed softly, with a trace of sadness on his face.

Jin Wuzhi gave him a strange look, and said in his heart that this thing would have other expressions. Along the way, this Huang Yi has always had a straight face, full of solemnity, and rarely sees emotions of joy, anger and sorrow.

"How strong is the water monkey?" Jin Wuzhi asked.

"The water monkey looked like a human, covered in green hair like aquatic plants, and had a very large nose on its face, which occupied half of its face, like a pig's nose. This thing is as hard as steel, and its speed is so fast that a pair of sharp claws can easily cut through the steel armor, and there is a sticky and smelly venom all over its body, and it can see blood seal its throat. The overall strength should exceed the peak of the forging period. It took me a lot of effort to cut it under the knife!" Huang Yi put away that trace of weakness, recalled solemnly, and said.

"Wouldn't that be strong in half a step!" Jin Wuzhi said in his heart. Huang Yi said it simply, but it must have been a fierce battle at that time.

He estimated it and felt that it was not a big problem to kill the water monkey alone with his strength.

"Is there a cult or something like that, or a god of normal faith?" Jin Wuzhi asked again. After the incident of the Iron Mountain God, he had a strong guard against the earth gods believed by the people everywhere, and he was afraid of being hooked up with the cult, so he asked this question.

"Qinghe Town is a large grain-producing town, and the county government has a name, and I have not heard of any trace of a cult! There are gods of faith, and they are the Hebo of Xiaoqinghe!" Huang Yi thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh!" Jin Wuzhi replied thoughtfully, without asking any more.

......

At noon, the convoy reached the foot of a hill.

Huang Yi came to Jin Youdao's car to ask for instructions.

"Lord Townsman, there's a forest in front of you, it's good for a temporary rest, do you want to stop and trim it?"

Jin Youdao opened the curtains, looked at the scorching sun, it was noon, and saw that most of the people were tired, so he nodded in agreement.

"Well, Huang Yi, you arrange for someone to clean up, and we will rest in the forest for a while, and then set off after eating!"

"Yes, sir!"

Huang Yi led a few cavalry to investigate first, and soon returned, and the forest was safe and sound.

The convoy soon came to the front of the woods, Jin Wuzhi took a look, this forest is tall and sparsely distributed, not only shading, but also a large space under the trees, it is a good place to rest!

Huang Yi commanded all the carriages to stop in the shade of the trees on the edge of the forest, and unpacked the horses to feed and rest, and ordered the cavalry and their families to sweep out a large area under the shade of the trees, set up tables and chairs, and cook from the side!

The family members of those cavalry are honest and hard-working people, and they usually work in the garrison mansion, and it is very refreshing to do these chores. A group of children who had already been dizzy in the car were free, and they all cheered and scurried around in the woods, and even the three children of the Jin family quickly joined in.

"Huang Yi, are you familiar with this Qinghe Town?"

After Jin Youdao sat down, he called Huang Yi over and asked about Qinghe Town.

Huang Yi thought about it for a while, and then told the situation he understood again.

Jin Youdao didn't speak after listening, squinted his eyes and thought for a while before he asked, "Do you know who the former town lord of Qinghe Town is, and why did he leave office?"

Huang Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and did not answer immediately, as if he had something difficult, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before he spoke: "Lord Qiqi, the former town owner is called Jiao Yuanpei, who is from Xianzhou, and left office three months ago, saying that his parents died in his hometown, so he resigned and went to Ding Wei. ”

"Oh!" Jin Youdao replied noncommittally.

Huang Yi hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"What? Don't you have anything else to hide?" Jin Wudao stared at him and asked lightly. Although his words were flat, Huang Yi's heart sank and he felt a burst of pressure!

He hurriedly said: "Regarding the matter of the former town lord, his subordinates know some hidden secrets, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Oh, let's hear it!" Jin Youdao asked curiously.

"It is said that this town lord was killed by ghosts, and the door is full of people, and there is no survivor!" Huang Yi leaned closer, lowered his voice and said: "This matter has a gag order, I have a friend who has been involved in dealing with the aftermath of this town lord, and once he drank and he said that he leaked his mouth. It is said that the family of the former town lord died a terrible death, and their bodies were covered with black mushrooms!"

"Black mushroom, do you know what kind of monster did it?" Jin Youdao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"I don't know, that friend doesn't know, he died on another mission not long after, and I didn't inquire much about it!" Huang Yi shook his head and replied.

"Well, it seems that this Qinghe Town is not a good place either!" Jin Youdao sighed lightly. At this time, when the food came up, he beckoned: "Come, Huang Yi, eat with me, we have to hurry after eating!"

"Yes, sir!"
