On Xianwan Ridge, Wu Gen personally sent Yu Hao to her elixir bird. The two discussed for half a day and worked out the possible reactions of all parties after the Fearless Army and the Hua Family cooperated to jointly attack the Bailing Province. Because as the Fearless Army becomes more famous in Iron Hand Province, many people will keep an eye on Liangzhe Mountain. If the Hulan family is destroyed again, more people will be afraid of Wu Gen.
A big tree attracts the wind, so these people will inevitably use some tricks. Even the Dengtian Palace will not let Wu Gen wantonly kill families in various provinces.
My best suggestion is that the Fearless Army should not think about occupying a territory as large as a province. This is too risky. It can be actually occupied like Liangzhe Mountain, but it still belongs to the Iron Hand Province in name.
This destroyed some of Wu Gen's little thoughts. He originally wanted to get a few provinces in his hands, and by then he would have more strength to fight against the divine religion.
As for Zhang You, my best advice is to have more contact with him, but don’t rely too much on him. You must put me first in everything. Zhang Yu was only using Wu Gen to achieve his ambition of honoring his ancestors and establishing a family foundation. If things were not harmonious or his goal was achieved, I am afraid he would abandon Wu Gen without hesitation.
In addition, Yuhao also brought maps of Shule and Bailing provinces. For every province and family, the map is something that cannot be shown to others. This is equivalent to taking off one's own clothes and showing them to others without any obstruction, so it is difficult to see a complete map of a province outside.
However, Yuhao's map also has a flaw, that is, it is blank in the Liangzhe Mountain area. Wu Gen also asked the reason, but Yu Hao hesitated and refused to explain.
"Farewell, hope to see you at Hengmen Port soon." Yuhao said to Wu Gengong
He raised his hand and jumped onto Daniao.
"Say hello to your master for me and ask him to come sit down at Liangzhe Mountain when he has time." Wu Gen's smile was as bright as the sun.
"Master heard about your little calculation in Junshan. You don't want him to be your thug. It's a good idea." Yuhao glanced at Wu Gen with disdain, and suddenly said meaningfully, "Thank you You are attracted by the master, otherwise you would have died countless times. The reason why Liangzhe Mountain is not occupied by any family is not because you are unwilling, but because you dare not go there. There are some existences there, tsk tsk."
After saying that, Yuhao didn't explain the reason. She patted the red bird under her body and took off and flew away.
Watching Yu Hao's figure go away, the smile on Wu Gen's face gradually faded away. Although today's Fearless Army seems to be prospering, in fact, external worries are increasing instead of decreasing.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. As their reputation grows, especially when a human race controls such a huge power, it becomes a thorn in the side of some people. More people will turn their attention to the Fearless Army and face various challenges. There will be more overt and covert attacks, as evidenced by the appearance of Zhang You.
After returning to Xianwan City, Wu Gen immediately ordered that while there was no fighting at the moment, all armies should hurry up and build defense facilities. They must make their own area of Liangzhe Mountain impregnable, and at the same time open a road to the south as soon as possible to prepare for any danger. .
Preparations were being made in an orderly manner everywhere, and when Wu Gen had nothing to do, he put more thought into his own cultivation. I have gained a lot of insights while practicing these days. Wu Gen knows that he is not far from breaking through. He is only one step away from breaking through.
With the sound of spring thunder, the spring rain pattered over Liangzhe Mountain, and a layer of green grass began to grow on the gray-yellow mountain.
It was soft and green, and the chirping of spring birds to encourage planting echoed in the mountains. For a moment, the entire Liangzhe Mountain came to life.
Wu Gen walked back to his private house with a hoe on his shoulder. The two acres of land he had been allocated had already been plowed, and he was waiting to sow seeds.
Gao Han had a circle of wicker wrapped around his head and jumped behind him. Having lost her parents, she already regarded Wu Gen as her relative. She would come to Wu Gen every day when she opened her eyes. As for the cheap master Bu Qiyin, she refused to go there at all.
Wu Gen drank a large pot of tea, and as usual, prepared to take a look at the military information sent from various places.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and after a while, Zhuo Ke followed Gao Han into the house.
"Fortress leader." Zhuo Ke greeted him, stepped forward, grabbed Wu Gen's pot and drank from it. The face that was originally a little green has become darker, rougher, and more mature.
Wu Gen smiled and motioned to Gao Han to add more water, and pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down and talk.
It’s been a hard day. "Zhuo Ke has been building the road south to Shule Province these days, and has not reached Xianwan City for a while.
Zhuo Ke wiped the corner of his mouth and saw Gao Han bringing several plates of snacks over. He grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "The hard work is better, but the further you go into the mountains, the more weird places you find. There are many. The soldiers who were building the road said that they encountered ghosts in the mountains. Some civilians have disappeared these days. But they looked around and found nothing.
Many people said that they had offended the gods in the mountain and were unwilling to move forward, life or death. I had no choice but to run back and see if the village leader could do anything. "
"Encountered a ghost?" Wu Gen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
, no wonder Yuhao once said before leaving that there is something unspeakable in Liangzhe Mountain.
For a moment, Wu Gen's curiosity was ignited. He was not afraid of these gods and ghosts, and he had practiced soul arts and entered various death realms, so he was ready to go and find out.
"Master, you need to be careful about this matter. After all, there are spirits in the distant mountains. If you are a powerful master, you will bring trouble on yourself. I will see if I can change the route in a few days." Zhuo Ke looked at Wu Gen's eyes shone, and he knew something was wrong. The leader of his village had never been one to calm down. If anything happened to him if he ran over rashly, he would become the sinner of the Fearless Army.
"How can this be done by changing the route? The current route costs the least. If we change the route, it will cost a lot more. In the words of Niu Chao, if you dare to make me spend money, you are taking away my money, and you are like killing your father and your enemy. existence. No, I have to go and see who is causing the evil. If you dare to rob me of my money, I will not surname Wu until I dig out his bones and press for oil." Wu Gen was so proud that he turned around and asked Gao Han Pack your own bags.
"The village...the village leader, should we discuss it with others and come up with a proper solution." Seeing that Wu Gen was about to go out, Zhuo Ke blushed with anxiety and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Spring has begun, and each of them is busy with many things, so don't distract them." Wu Gen waved his hands disapprovingly. Now in Liangzhe Mountain, he is probably the most leisurely person in the village, whether it is training soldiers or farming. , the construction of the city and other matters were left to others by Wu Gen, and he never paid attention to it, otherwise he would not be so free to take Gao Han to cultivate the land every day.
"By the way, there's also
There is nothing to do alone. "When Wu Gen saw Gao Han busy with other things, he suddenly slapped his head. There is really someone who only earns wages and does not work, and that is Gao Han's master Bu Qiyin. Sitting in the house talking, breaking bones and burning grass all day long, Wu Gen felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of giving his free money to an idle person. It just so happened that these evil things could barely have anything to do with her, and she was determined to find someone else.
So, after briefly informing the troops of his whereabouts and rejecting the advice of Yang Zheng, Lu Qing and others, Wu Gen called the holly bird over with a bitter look on his face and a confused look on his face. Qiyin flew south.
"Master, I don't know how to catch ghosts." On the way, Bu Qiyin made a solemn statement to Wu Gen for the fifth time.
"If you don't know how to learn, you have to learn this from me if you have many skills. You see, apart from not knowing how to practice qi, I am good at fighting, carpentry, cooking, and making tofu. It's just that I left the Fearless Army. , you can also make a living by relying on your own craftsmanship." Wu Gen had a warm look on his face and earnestly advised, "You and Ye Ziming are both wasteful spenders, how can you succeed if you don't learn a lot of craftsmanship."
Zhuo Ke's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He shouldn't have reported it directly to the village leader. Now, it was a good idea to hire a man who could only do divination to catch ghosts. Isn't this nonsense?
Bu Qiyin sighed. Ever since this morning, she had felt that something was going to happen. Even though she had hid in the mountains, she was still caught by Wu Gen. Moreover, before leaving, she had made some predictions, but the future was unclear, which inevitably made her feel worried.
After flying for two hours, we were still quite far away from the haunted place Zhuo Ke said.
It was too late, so Wu Gen had to find a shack left by a road builder to stop, preparing to set off again the next day.
At night, Wu Gen was humming a tune while sharpening his knife, when suddenly Bu Qiyin's frightened cry came from next door. Wu Genteng jumped up and rushed out.
When they rushed in, they saw Bu Qiyin holding a turtle shell and shivering. The crack in the shell was in the middle.
Black blood continued to flow.
"What's wrong, fortune teller?" Wu Gen asked anxiously.
"Eyes, so many eyes." Bu Qiyin trembled and said, shrinking inwards.
Wu Gen frowned. Ever since he met Bu Qiyin, she had always looked cold and calm, and he had never seen her lose her composure like this before.
Zhuo Ke also rushed over, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but turn pale, "Fortress leader, let's go back. Even the fortune teller feels threatened, so there must be something unclean there."
Wu Gen frowned and thought for a while. He didn't have any special feelings, so he went back home. He was really unwilling to go back. "Let's go over and have a look. If it doesn't work, we will retreat. You take good care of the diviner. Although she is a bit mysterious, But the soul is actually not very powerful, so I can go alone when the time comes."
Seeing that Wu Gen was determined to go, Zhuo Ke had no choice but to comfort Bu Qiyin and endured the night in fear.
The next day, the holly bird only flew for an hour before arriving at Zhuo Ke's camping place.
After falling down, a large number of road construction workers and soldiers gathered here. Because there was an evil spirit in front of them, everyone stopped and looked a little scared when they saw Wu Gen arriving.
Wu Gen comforted everyone, and then continued to fly forward with Zhuo Ke and Bu Qiyin. There is no more ahead
As we walked along the road, the winding mountains were filled with miasma and the vegetation was gloomy. From time to time, strange roars came from the mountains, which made people feel fearful.
While flying along the treetops, the holly bird suddenly jumped up fiercely, almost throwing Wu Gen and others off. I saw a red tongue bouncing from the treetop, with red mucus on it.
Looking down, I saw a strange-looking beast lying on the top of the tree. The head was obviously that of a monkey, but the body was very different from that of a lizard. It had a long red tail. It was this beast that attacked the holly bird just now. things.
"Fortress Master, there are many such monsters here, with strange shapes and rare sights in the world. But they are not the most difficult to deal with. If we gather a large army, they can also be wiped out. Further ahead is the place where the soldiers disappeared. Due to the twists and turns, I don’t dare to let anyone come forward to die if many people are harmed." Zhuo Ke explained from the side.
Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief. The situation here was somewhat similar to that of Da Yizhou. There were actually many monsters hidden in the world that should not exist in the world.
Just in case, Wu Gen had to let the holly bird fly higher. Gradually, a mountain appeared on the horizon ahead. This place is surrounded by mountains, but this mountain is too eye-catching among the mountains. The entire mountain is white, which is quite conspicuous among the gray and green.
What's even more strange is that the mountain is bigger and smaller at the bottom, just like turning the entire mountain upside down. The top of the mountain was covered in mist, and it was impossible to see what was hidden inside.
There is always a demon in everything that goes wrong. Seeing such a scene, Wu Gen felt a little uneasy. At this time, Bu Qiyin was staring straight ahead, his eyes were wide open, his face was pale, his body was shaking like chaff, and he kept talking.
Muttered, "He's coming."
Wu Gen frowned, but he still didn't feel any discomfort. Just when he was about to say a few words of comfort, Wu Gen's expression suddenly changed, and countless people whispered in his ears, like silkworms eating mulberry leaves, and like spring rain falling on the grass blades, looming, rising and falling.
