Chapter 733: Traceability
Guolou was disturbed halfway through his work, although he didn't go wrong, he couldn't help but be angry, and asked, "Who is it?"
Someone outside the door replied, "It's me, I have something to say to my seniors." It was Hua Bushi's voice.
Guo Lou Meng said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, Hua Bushi walked in slowly, and said: "I don't want to disturb the seniors of Guolou to heal, but the situation is urgent, so I have to do it, and I ask the seniors not to be surprised." ”
Guo Lou Meng said: "What is the matter with you?"
His face changed suddenly as he spoke, and he asked, "What about the couple and the children?"
Xiang Guo Loumeng and other martial arts masters, can hear the sound of breathing within twenty or thirty zhang around him clearly, he did not pay attention to the practice of healing before, at this time he listened attentively, and found that there were only two people left in this house, he and Hua Bushi, Ah Xiang and his wife and the child Bao'er were all gone, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Hua Bushi said: "It's too dangerous here, so I gave them a hundred taels of silver tickets, and let them go to live elsewhere for a few days first, so as not to stay here and give up their lives innocently." ”
Guo Lou frowned, and said, "Gone, how can they walk past the 'Heart-piercing Gu' array laid by the old man?"
Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said: "In the next step, the way to cure poison, although the poisonous Gu of the predecessors is powerful, it is still difficult for me to send them out." ”
Guo Loumeng stared at Hua Bushi, and after a while, he said: "Good boy, the old man underestimated you! Since you can send them out, why don't you run away?"
Hua Bushi said: "The predecessors of Guolou rescued me from the lair of the Demon Dao, and now the chasing soldiers are in a critical situation, so I should stay and fight side by side with my predecessors, and I can't do anything to abandon my companions and run for my life alone." ”
Guo Loumeng sneered: "The old man has never had a companion, just you, a kid who doesn't know any martial arts, actually said that you want to fight side by side with the old man, isn't it a joke!"
Hua Bushi said abruptly: "Although I don't have much ability, I can always remind my predecessors to guard against enemy attacks, so as not to be plotted by people in the Demon Dao." ”
Guo Loumeng has been meditating and practicing exercises to heal his wounds, if someone in the Demon Dao suddenly attacks, it is indeed possible to suffer a big loss.
He frowned, and said, "Did you say those demon cubs have chased after you?"
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, now this courtyard has been heavily surrounded, and they may attack at any time." ”
Guo Loumeng was shocked in his heart, thinking that the people in the Demon Dao should not be able to cross the cliff, how could he catch up so quickly, could it be that this kid was frightened and wanted to deceive me?
As his mind turned, he leaped out of the window next to him, came to the courtyard, and then stomped on the roof. Although it was dark at the moment, with his eyesight, if this courtyard was surrounded by enemies, he could naturally see it.
Hua Bushi did not tell a lie.
There was no need to watch at all, Guo Loumeng already knew this, because as soon as he climbed on the roof, he only heard the sharp sound of the wind, and dozens of flying arrows shot straight at him, which was the "Storm Crossbow" that he had seen once on the mountainside before!
Guo Loumeng reacted quickly, immediately shrank and jumped from the roof, those crossbow arrows were shot in the air, the sound of "tuk tuk" was endless, many arrows were inserted on the roof beams, and Guo Loumeng had jumped into the house from the window again.
"You already knew that the demon cub would chase after him at night," Guo Loumeng glared at Hua Bushi and said, "Why didn't you tell the old man earlier?"
Hua Bushi spread his hands and said: "Most of the people in the Demon Dao have another way out of the valley, and on the way down from Yuyang Mountain, I have been talking to my predecessors, but my predecessors refuse to believe it, and I have no choice." ”
Previously, Hua Bushi really repeatedly said that people in the Demon Dao would definitely catch up, but Guo Loumeng ignored it as an alarmist that he wanted to get out of his hands. At this time, he was caught in a heavy siege, which was really caused by Guo Loumeng's own negligence, and he couldn't blame this eldest young master at all.
However, with Guoloumeng's personality, of course, he will never admit his mistakes. He snorted coldly and said, "You kid is so cunning, who knows if what you said is true or false?" It's not a big deal if these demon cubs chase after you, the old man will rush out with you!"
Hua Bushi said: "I don't know how much my predecessor has recovered from his previous exercises?"
Guo Lou Meng said: "The old man's internal injuries have been healed by fifty or sixty percent!"
Hua Bushi said: "If the seniors' skills are restored to more than eighty percent, they may be able to rush out with them while the night is strong, and the current situation is that either the seniors escape alone, or they will stay here temporarily." ”
Guo Loumeng snorted again, but did not answer. He knew that what Hua Bushi said was true, and he had only used his skills to heal his injuries for less than an hour, and his injuries were not very good.
If he didn't bring Hua Bushi's big burden, he could have broken through and escaped alone with light skills, but in this way, if this eldest young master fell into the hands of people in the demon path, most of them would be killed, and the secret method of blood transformation would be withdrawn from the bottom and soaked in the soup, which was also very unwilling for Guo Loumeng.
But Hua Bushi said again: "If the predecessors of Guolou are unwilling to escape alone, then from now on, follow the arrangements below, and maybe there will be a chance to save your life and mine." ”
"Listen to your arrangement, you kid doesn't eat too much roe deer meat!" Guolou Mengshi didn't expect that at such a critical moment of being besieged, Hua Bushi not only did not have the consciousness of being a burden, but also dared to say such things.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ meanwhile, the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" had already found the cliff behind the Lingxian Peak.
It is not easy to find this place, because there are more than ten peaks and peaks around Mida Valley, and if you search them one by one, you may not be able to find them all in a whole day.
After the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" came out of the valley, they immediately divided into three routes, first searching for the three peaks where the people in the Demon Dao were most likely to establish a base, and fortunately, this highest Spirit Immortal Peak was one of the three peaks they judged.
The first to find this place was Li Hu, and now Ximen Tong, Chu Yiyi, Meng Huan, Liu Yuanhe and Yuan Xi all rushed to the edge of the cliff after receiving the signal, and the dozens of torches held by the disciples of the Perak Camp illuminated the cliff in front of the cliff.
"Brother Li is saying that the lair of the people in the Demon Dao must be on the opposite side of the cliff?" asked Yuan Xi.
Li Hu said: "Of course! When I first came up here, I saw a figure flickering on the top of the opposite peak, but now it is gone, and it must be hidden." With this cliff as a natural risk, it is an excellent place to build the base on the opposite side, if there is no lair of the demon path over there, I would rather cut off my head!"
Ximen Tong said: "What the fourth junior brother said is good, I also think that there is no suspicion that the Demon Dao Lair is on the other side!"
Yuan Xi looked at the terrain in front of him, frowned, and said: "This cliff is twenty or thirty zhang wide, and I don't know how deep it is, and there is no place to borrow strength on both sides, so it is not easy for us to go over." ”
Ximen Hitomi turned his head and shouted: "The two flags and three flags of the Thunderbolt camp obey the order! Quickly go to the forest below to cut trees, make a long ladder and prepare to storm the cliff!"
At this time, Meng Huan suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
When everyone heard this, they saw him squatting on the edge of the cliff, pointing to an imprint on the ground and saying, "Mrs. Yiyi, please look, here is the mark of our 'Thousand Flowers Fang'!"
The imprint was only an inch long, and the drawing on the stone was shallow and thin, making it difficult to attract attention at first glance.
Chu Yiyi walked quickly to the front, stared at it carefully, and said: "Yes, this is the sign of the direction indicated by the 'Thousand Flowers Fang', and the shape and length are not bad at all, could it be left by Hua Gongzi?"
Chu Yiyi once taught Hua Bushi all kinds of secret notes used by "Thousand Flowers Fang" to transmit signals, and it is very reasonable for her to make this speculation.
Li Hu said: "Which direction does this mark refer to?"
Chu Yiyi said: "The crooked arc of this scratch should refer to the direction of going south down the mountain. ”
Li Hu's expression moved, and he said, "Could it be that the stone boss has escaped from here and gone down the mountain, so he left a mark for us?"
Everyone's eyes looked at the cliff, and their expressions were full of doubts. The cliff is too wide, Hua Bushi, a person who doesn't know how to do light work, can escape across this cliff, it is really incredible, of course they can't imagine that Hua Bushi would meet Guo Loumeng in the devil's lair and get the help of such a peerless strongman.
Chu Yiyi said: "We might as well search in the direction of the mark." If it is really engraved by Hua Gongzi, he will definitely leave clues on the road, if he can't find it, it will not be too late for us to come back and attack the cliff. ”
Ximen Tong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and search first!"
Chu Yiyi's inference is also not wrong. Not far from the woods down the slope, he found a mark carved with a knife on the trunk of a tree, and a small piece of rag fell next to it, which Li Hu recognized as the fabric on the shirt that Hua Bushi was wearing.
From this, it can be concluded that Hua Bushi has indeed crossed the cliff and followed this road to the mountain. Ximen Tong and Li Hu immediately summoned the Thunderbolt Camp and Qingyunwei disciples and tracked them down in the direction indicated by the marker.
After the mark on the trunk of the tree, Chu Yiyi and Meng Huan found three or four more marks along the way, with intervals of near and far away, one on the dirt ground, and two on the branches and leaves. This is because Hua Bushi was carried by the fruit building to walk in the forest, and he couldn't stop halfway to carve the mark, so he could only break off some tree branches and leaves, mark them with his fingernails, and then throw them on the ground.
Although Chu Yiyi couldn't imagine the situation at that time, he could deduce that this eldest young master must not be able to stay calmly, and it was very likely that he was held hostage by others. What worries the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" even more is that after going down the mountain and walking not far away, there are many footprints and traces of broken branches when people and horses are running in the woods.
This shows that there is another group of people who are also tracking Hua Bushi and his party along the way, and judging from the traces in the forest, there are more than 200 of these people. In this Yuyang Mountain, there will be so many people and horses, and there is no doubt that there are only demon Taoist sect members.
As a result, the mood of the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" who had just relaxed a little collapsed again, and Li Hu and Ximen Hitomi kept urging the disciples to hurry at full speed, and they must find Hua Bushi as soon as possible.
At the same time, the night sky became even darker, and snow began to fall.
