There are dozens of legends about the origin of Xiong Mo Ridge alone, but it is believed that it was formed by the fall of an extraterrestrial meteorite thousands of years ago, because this theory was recognized by the historians of the Wu Kingdom. In fact, the time of the formation of Xiong Demon Ridge is not as long as that of the Wu Kingdom.

Whenever Qin Yu heard about Bear Demon Ridge, he was always in turmoil, he didn't care about the true origin of Bear Demon Ridge and the various rumors about it that were circulating in people's mouths. The reason why his mind is so fluctuating is that this Bear Demon Ridge is inextricably linked to his life experience. When he mentioned Xiong Demon Ridge, he remembered his mother, a woman who never appeared in his memory, Xia Yu. He heard that his father had saved his mother in Bear Demon Mountain, but he had a hard time believing these hearsay statements. Regarding his life experience, he knew it from the words slandered and insulted by the people in Lousang Town, although those insulting words were unbearable, but it also let him know some unknown things that might have happened to his family in the past, and since the moment he became sensible, he no longer spoke to his father Qin Wu. In fact, it was not that he didn't want to, but he could feel that his incompetent father was always deliberately alienating him.

The sound of the rain outside grew quieter and quieter, and soon it was completely gone, and a gust of wind blew through the doors and windows. Perhaps the dark clouds had dispersed, the moon and stars were thin, and the night was no longer dark, but hazy, so that I could see something clearly.

I don't know why Hu Lai's mouth kept snorting at this time, and his whole body kept trembling. The other two were no better, and they didn't dare to make a sound when they were crowded in the corners. The only one who is quite normal is Qin Yu.

The wind outside was blowing strangely, one from the left and one from the right. The shadow of the unknown old tree outside the open gate was cast in the courtyard, swinging back and forth. At some point, the cry of a strange bird came from outside, and the sound was like a baby's cry, fluctuating, far and near. Hearing this, the sound of Hulai's gasping suddenly became quieter, and he no longer trembled, but his heartbeat became more and more violent.

Regarding Hu Lai's performance, Qin Yu has only now understood, and the person who has been powering him with fists and feet along the way has become cold, shivering, and his heart is beating faster because he is afraid. Originally, he thought that Hulai was so unbearable because it was too cold.

In fact, it is no wonder that this is the case, the fear of the night is the nature of ordinary people, but for Qin Yu, a child who has been in dire straits since he was sensible, who has eaten all day without a meal, and even has to be afraid of sleeping on the streets, the fear brought to him by the night is really insignificant, and what he is most afraid of is those so-called human animals who have the same facial features as him but have animal hearts and livers.

However, Qin Yu didn't know that there was another reason why these three people were so scared, and that was the boiling haunted rumors that had been circulating on this Bear Demon Ridge for more than two years. Many people who go up the mountain will disappear for no reason, which has never happened before. The government also sent people up the mountain to investigate more than once, and it is said that this incident also alarmed some big people in the imperial capital, but only a few people knew the details, and these big people specially invited some mysterious people to come here to investigate the so-called haunted incident.

But for a long time after that, no ghosts or anything like that were found, and only the number of gray wolves and tigers in the mountains was found to be much higher than in previous years. So it was determined that it was these gray wolves and tigers that caused many people who went up the mountain to disappear for no reason. But this reason is not convincing, because most of the people who disappeared without explanation on Bear Demon Ridge were experienced local hunters who used to hunt animals for a living, and they did not pay attention to man-eating animals such as gray wolves and tigers. The relatives of the missing hunters also agreed that the tiger and the gray wolf could never do any harm to the missing hunters, and even the local children used such jokes to insult each other's families. The government is also very helpless about this, these so-called mysterious people they found are specifically to solve these ghost and god things, to say that these mysterious people, even if those big people in the imperial capital see it, they have to be like grandsons, bow their heads and bow their waists, and treat them as courtesy. Legend has it that these mysterious people came from a mysterious place in the territory of Wu that ordinary people could not reach, and they were called immortals.

The story about the immortals is very widely spread in the Wu country, but most of them are people occasionally chatting after tea and dinner, sometimes people get together to talk energetically, and there will always be people who say some nonsense that everyone thinks is out of tune, and laugh it off, but these people are still very true. For example, a person who is usually drunk and drunk said that one day he was walking on the road and heard a movement in the sky, so he raised his head and saw two immortals fighting, as if they were snatching something,... In short, the story of seeing the immortals was vividly told by this person, as if it were true. Some people even say that their relatives who can't be beaten for eight lifetimes were favored by the immortals of a certain sect a long, long time ago, and left a fortune that could not be spent in several lifetimes. In short, there are all kinds of legends about immortals, endlessly, and there are very few people who believe in them, after all, for ordinary people, this kind of thing is too mysterious, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and people believe that only after death can people become immortals and achieve positive results.

However, Hu Bat didn't think so, because he had seen the immortals with his own eyes. This has to start with the rumored boiling haunting incident two years ago, Wu has a law specifically designed to restrain the government, that is, once the number of unnatural deaths in a region exceeds 10 in a week, it must be reported immediately without delay. Although there are many towns around this Bear Demon Ridge, the nearest to him should belong to Lousang Town, but it is within the jurisdiction of Qingfeng Town, since the Haunted Bear Demon Ridge incident came out, Qingfeng Town sent someone to investigate the matter, and the result was shocked, the number of people who disappeared for no reason on this Bear Demon Ridge in a short period of time reached hundreds, the mayor of Qingfeng Town was named Wan Shulai, and when he heard the results of the investigation, he was surprised, and he did not dare to slack off at all, and personally wrote a chapter to report the matter to his superiors. What he never expected was that not long after his piece was sent, this incident would alarm a big man in the imperial capital, who was the current emperor of Wu State.

This Wan Shulai is Hu Bat's own uncle, and the Hu family and Wan Jia are the two powerful families in Qingfeng Town. When Wan Shulai learned that this incident alarmed the emperor, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. Sure enough, he soon received an edict from the minister of the imperial capital, the general content of which was to cooperate with the people from the imperial capital to investigate the haunting of Xiong Demon Ridge. To his surprise, in addition to an elderly man and a cadre of attendants wearing Wu Guo's court clothes, only three people came, two men and one woman, all of whom looked very young and extraordinary, each carrying a cyan sword and wearing a green shirt. What surprised him was the attitude of the old man in court clothes towards the three of them, which could be said to be extremely respectful, so he almost performed the big gift of three kneels and nine bows, and shouted one by one.

When he learned that this matter was supervised by the emperor himself, where did Wan Shulai dare to slack off, almost all the things that followed* were the people around him who were naturally his most trusted subordinates, including Hu Ba's father and his uncle Hu Lai's father, and even Hu Bat was appointed to follow the left and right affairs.
