Meng Haotian nodded, "Mr. is still better. In this regard, I am always timid!"
Xie Yunxiao said: "It doesn't matter how smart I am. Sometimes, a lake of quiet stagnant water only looks peaceful on the surface. And we, not only need to see the turbulence under the tranquility, but also have the courage to step into the turbulent undercurrent. If you watch the fire from the other side, you will never understand the real cause of the fire!”
Meng Haotian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Xie Yunxiao, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
In terms of strategy, he has never seen someone as calm and calm as Xie Yunxiao, who can discern the essence, dare to challenge, and find opportunities at critical moments.
"Then when does Mr. Xie plan to leave the city?" Meng Haotian asked.
"Go later, at least it won't be so conspicuous. If you are lucky, you can stay overnight in that village or something!" Xie Yunxiao said casually, but in Meng Haotian's view, it was an excellent strategy.
Meng Haotian nodded, the admiration in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Xie Yunxiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on with Meng Haotian's look.
After dark, Xie Yunxiao took an unusual route out of the city. According to the information given by Meng Haotian, Xie Yunxiao left the city and walked west. In nearly half an hour, he arrived at the village Meng Haotian mentioned.
At this point, around midnight, the oil lamps in every household were still on.
The village is neither big nor small, with about fifty households. The streets are built on flat ground, like two rows of soldiers, exuding a solemn atmosphere.
From a distance, the lights look like two belts embedded in the ground.
Xie Yunxiao stood at the entrance of the village. Logically speaking, a stone tablet should be erected here with the name of the village engraved on it to let people know what kind of village this was.
But there is none here. It seems that no one cares about this village.
Xie Yunxiao stood at the entrance of the village for a while and then walked inside.
The room with the oil lamp on, and the shadows of people reflected on the doors and windows, looked very harmonious.
Bursts of chatter and laughter came from the window, showing an inexplicable warmth.
Although it was an autumn night, Xie Yunxiao did not feel the slightest chill at this time. He seemed to be walking on a street full of sunshine.
And this warmth comes from people on both sides.
For a moment, Xie Yunxiao didn't know which door to knock on, because in his eyes, it seemed that every household here was prosperous.
Moreover, Xie Yunxiao had an inexplicable feeling that the people here did not want strangers to enter their homes.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He took a deep breath and said, "Something's wrong!"
The moment he came back to his senses, gusts of cool breeze hit him, and the warmth he felt just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
But at this time, the lights in every house were still on, and people's shadows were reflected in the windows.
Xie Yunxiao sorted out his thoughts, with a solemn look in his eyes, and then decided to walk towards the house closest to him.
He went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door.
The man looked at Xie Yunxiao with a puzzled look on his face.
A faint smile appeared on Xie Yunxiao's face and he said: "Brother, I'm passing by here. It's getting late. I wonder if I can stay here for one night?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man apologized in his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, we don't accommodate outsiders here. If you don't have a place to stay, just keep walking forward and leave the village. There is a mountain temple over there. You can make do with it." one night!"
Xie Yunxiao couldn't help but be stunned. This village doesn't allow outsiders to stay overnight?
You must know that this is the territory of Ningguo. On the land of Ningguo, there is such a very special and strange village?
"Really? I'm sorry for bothering you!" Xie Yunxiao turned and left, in order to verify whether the man was lying.
Next, Xie Yunxiao knocked on several houses, all with the same result.
"The land in the middle of Shu is different from the places in Zhongyuan. There are many ethnic minorities here and there are many rules. It seems to be true!"
Not long after Xie Yunxiao arrived at the end of the village, there was indeed a mountain temple under the mountain a hundred feet away.
According to the wishes of the people in the village, he would have to live here tonight thanks to Yunxiao.
Because people in the village often burn incense and repair mountain temples, the houses here are quite good and can protect them from wind and rain.
But Xie Yunxiao stood outside and had no intention of going in.
"You all want me to live in this mountain temple. If I don't, then I have no choice but to leave. In that case, let's see what lies you are making!"
Xie Yunxiao stood for a while and then walked in.
At this time, all the lights in the village were extinguished in an instant.
The whole village has also changed.
Of course, Xie Yunxiao didn't know that he was in the mountain temple at this time.
He burst into flames in anger, and the flames lit up, illuminating the surrounding area. What came into view was a tall statue of the god.
This statue is made of ordinary clay, but because it has been enjoying incense all year round, it seems to have some inexplicable aura.
Xie Yunxiao took one look and showed no interest. He continued to walk forward and walked around the entire mountain temple.
When Xie Yunxiao was about to go out, he found that he was actually outside at this time, and the mountain temple stood at the foot of the mountain in the direction he came from.
"Something interesting!" Xie Yunxiao suddenly realized that the village he saw when he came in was not what it was before.
"Is it a trap set up by Yu Buwei?" Xie Yunxiao didn't frown slightly, but looking at everything here, it seemed that it was not just now.
"The problem lies within the village. Is this why Yu Buwei came here?"
Xie Yun made a guess. He looked up and looked at the mountain temple behind. If he walked inside, it would be the second time.
If you go in for the second time, it will be the same mountain temple. What will happen next?
"If Yu Buwei is not familiar with the people in the village, how can he get out after coming in? Besides, even Yao Yi can get out!"
Suddenly, Xie Yunxiao's eyes suddenly brightened because he thought of an extremely key figure, that is Yao Yi.
"It seems that I made a big mistake. In many cases, things in the art of war can also be used in other places. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. If this Yao Yi comes from this village, then there will be no problem!"
Although Xie Yunxiao didn't deliberately get to know Yao Yi, fortunately Meng Haotian said that Yao Yi was a local.
"According to this speculation, if this is not a trap that Yu Buwei deliberately set to deal with me, then what he is plotting is most likely here!"
Xie Yunxiao speculated that he preferred the second possibility. If Yu Buwei wants to completely become the master of the land in the middle of Shu and confront the Ningguo court, what he needs is not strategy, but strength.
What kind of power can he get in this village? So that he devoted all his attention to this?
Although there is no answer yet, judging from this mysterious village, a treasure that can give Yu Buwei strength must be extremely impressive.
Once I don't get it, the consequences will be disastrous.
After all, compared to the 20,000 troops at Meng Haotian's disposal, he chose to gain strength from here.
Yu Buwei is extremely ambitious and greedy, but he is actually a smart man. Since he made such a decision, he must have weighed it carefully.
Xie Yunxiao came to this conclusion and walked into the mountain temple again.
The situation inside the temple has not changed much. A tall statue of the god still stands there.
The things inside are exactly the same.
Xie Yunxiao had only one idea at this time, and that was to find something different here.
But it was of no use, he found nothing.
Then, he walked out of the mountain temple again, and there was a new mountain temple in front of him.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Xie Yunxiao chuckled lightly, and then he continued to wander around the mountain temple. When he walked out of the mountain temple for the seventh time, he no longer saw the mountain temple.
What was incredible to Xie Yunxiao was that he did not see the mountain temple at this time, but he came outside the village.
Previously, he had speculated that people in the village might be playing tricks.
Now it seems that this is not the case. The person who showed him the way to live in the mountain temple wanted him to get out of the village.
Because the mountain temple is the way out of the village.
If you are an ordinary person, if you walk once or twice, you will probably be frightened. How can you get out?
"That is not a path for ordinary people. Judging from this, you can see that I have some cultivation. If it is just an ordinary person who comes here, how will you show the way?"
Xie Yunxiao fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he discovered that this was not an ordinary place. The surrounding environment was extremely special. How could ordinary people come here?
"In such a weird village, if Meng Haotian sent people to follow Yao Yi here, could his people have also walked through the mountain temple? If that was the case, why didn't Meng Haotian say anything? Is there something wrong with Meng Haotian in the first place?"
Xie Yunxiao's thoughts were once again stuck in a deadlock.
"No, Meng Haotian should have no problem, and his people must also have no problem. If Yu Buwei's plot is here, he definitely doesn't want me to come here, and naturally he won't make arrangements for Meng Haotian's people , we entered this village, but the way out is definitely not this way, so..."
Xie Yunxiao's eyes suddenly became sharp, but then he smiled bitterly.
No one in the village has seen him, but I'm afraid he has never left those people's sight since he entered the village.
Although these people pointed out the way out, they probably had the idea of teaching Xie Yunxiao a lesson.
The person sent by Meng Haotian was probably more innocent. People in the village could tell that he couldn't bear the weirdness of the mountain temple, so he pointed out another way.
And the most important thing is that when the man entered the village, although he felt that there was a problem in the village, he did not see the problem.
"The other road should be the same as the way in, otherwise Meng Haotian's people would not be able to find the problem!" Xie Yunxiao speculated again.
Suddenly, he looked up at this nameless and mysterious village, his eyes as bright as the stars in the sky.
